Chapter 10: Operation Skull

The Ultra Guardians entered cautiously into the now red colored mansion carful as to not alerting any more grunts, and looked at it in awe. The inside was a whole lot bigger and taller than it was before with the main hall the size of a Pokémon stadium field, with the two doors on opposite sides of the room much larger, the stair case itself was a lot longer then it was previously with it still splitting to two rooms, however in the center there was a black door with a multicolored R in the center of it.

"Wow, this place looks a whole lot different than the last time we came here." Mallow said.

"It could be because of Team Rocket and whatever they did to the Ultra Wormhole to make the mansion look like this." Clemont said as Ash looked up at the door.

"This is just a guess, but behind that door could be where they are holding Lusamine, so let's go save her!" He said as the rest of his friends nodded.

"I'm afraid that won't be possible." A voice said as they looked to see coming down the stairs was a blue haired man in a blue trench coat.

"Who are you?" Ash asked as the man chuckled.

"My name is Pierce a humble servant of the soon to be all powerful Giovanni." Pierce said as he even took a bow as if mocking them. "And you must be the infamous Ultra Guardians that he warned me about." He said with a chuckle. "A bunch of children, you are no match for us." He said with a snap of his fingers as suddenly a holographic wall appeared, blocking the door." And now to call in reinforcements." He said he lifted his right arm revealing a wrist devise of some sort and was about to press a button.

"You won't be calling anyone punk." A familiar voice to that of Ash and his Alola friends as they looked back to see…

"Guzma!?" The Alola gang said as Guzma chuckled.

"That's right big bad Guzma's here!" Guzma said with a confident grin on his face.

"Guzma?" Pierce asked. "Of course, the leader of Team Skull. A group with no vision and no ideals, just a group of petty thugs who go around harassing Alola's citizens and trainers. What is someone like you doing here at Team Rocket Castle?" Pierce asked as Guzma looked at him.

"Let's just say I have an old friend who I decided to pay back and make up to after all the trouble I caused." Guzma said. "Plus, I'm here because of that kid who showed me what battling is all about." He said pointing at Ash. "And speaking of which if you want to get to these kids you have to get through me!" Guzma said pulling out and throwing his Pokéball revealing to be his trusted partner Golisopod.

"So a Pokémon battle is it?" Pierce said. "Very well after I deal with you I will deal with the children. He said as he through out his Pokémon which was a Scolipede.

"Be careful Guzma!" Lillie shouted.

"Yeah that Scolipede looks mean and powerful." Sophocles said as Guzma looked back at him.

"Don't worry this guy got nothing on me." Guzma said as he turned his attention back to the battle. "Alright Golisopod let's show these two how we battle Alola style!" He said as his partner let out a roar. "Okay then, use Poison Jab now!" He said as the water bug type charged at the giant bug Pokémon.

"Counter with Poison Tail!" Pierce said as the bug types tail turned purple charging the two moves colliding.

"Wow they look even." Iris observed.

"Indeed an equal match of poisonous flavors." Cilan agreed.

"Well let's hope your friend's Pokémon is stronger." Misty said as Ash nodded.

"Now use Venoshock!" Pierce said as his Pokémon fired purple slime.

"Chop them up with Liquidation!" Guzma said as Golisopod formed a water like sword and sliced up the gunks of poison aimed at him hitting the walls of the now large room. "Now use Throat Chop!" Guzma said as purple energy surrounded the right arm of the bug type and charged at the giant bug again.

"Megahorn!" Commanded Pierce as the two large horns on of Scolipede glowed and grew as it swung its head down towards the bug type but that was Golisopod's advantage as it aimed for the neck knocking back the large bug. Guzma grinned but then Scolipede then faced forward Golispod its horns still glowing. "Now!" Pierce said as Scolipede slamed its horns against Golisopod sending down hard towards the floor as everyone gasped. "Hyperbeam!" Pierce said as Scolipede fired a massive beam of energy down to where Golisopod was.

"Golisipod!" Guzma cried out as the Hyperbeam sided as Scolipede was now unable to move due to Hyperbeam's effect.

"It'll all be over soon." Pierce said as Guzma ran over to where his partner was.

"Golisipod!" Guzma said helping out his partner back up.

"Am I to assume that you now surrender?" Pierce said as Guzma looked up at him never we will never give up!" Guzma said as something glowed inside his sleeve as it revealed an all too familiar bracelet.

"Is that a Z-Ring?" Mallow asked.

"Looks like it." Kiawe answered as Guzma looked down on it.

"Well Golisipod you ready to give this a shot?" Guzma asked to his partner as bug-water type nodded and Guzma grinned. "Okay then lets go!" He said going into the starting pose at the same time a light green energy came from his connecting to his Pokémon. "So this is what a Z-Move's power feels like!" Guzma said. "A powerful connection between trainer and Pokémon!" He said then moving into the Bug Z pose.

"NO!" Pierce shouted. "SCOLIPEDE STOP THEM!" The giant centipede Pokémon charged at the duo to prevent to try to prevent them from finishing the z-move but Guzma grinned.

"Now let's go!" Guzma shouted. "Savage spin out!" He said as Golisipod fired out a string like substance that stopped Scolipede in its tracks as the substance surrounded Pierce's Pokémon, creating a cocoon trapping it with in. "Alright now give it a toss!" He said as Golsipod graped a hold of the end of the string tossing around the giant cocoon like a toy before slamming it into the wall as it busted like a balloon with the bug coming out ko'd.

"Scolipede!" Pierce shouted and then grunted and recalled the poison bug type back to its Pokéball. A pair of shadows fell on him as he looked up to see Guzma and Golisipod over him. "You haven't won yet, I can still call my soldiers too…" Just then he felt something crawl up his arm to see Dedenne on his shoulder, Bonnie looking in horror.

"Dedenne get back!" The blonde shouted but just then the small orange mouse then nuzzled on Pierce's cheek sending an electric shock through his body as he fell to the floor unconscious. "Way to go Dedenne!" Bonnie cheered as the small orange mouse puffed out its chest.

"Thanks pipsqueak." Guzma said as he then picked up Pierce and looked towards the others. "I'll take him to the docks and wait for Officer Jenny and Kukui to get here. Good luck on getting blondie back." He said as he walked out.

"Guzma wait!" Clemont shouted as the white-haired man stopped to see the young gym leader walk up to him. "Let me just take that console off him before you go." He said getting the panel that was hidden beneath his sleeve off of him.

"Not sure what you have planned to do with that gizmo kid but good luck." Guzma said as Clemont nodded Guzma walking out.

"Hey Clemont, what do you have there?" Serena asked as Clemont looked back at her and the others with a glimmer in his large glasses.

"A chance to get to Lusamine." Was all he could say.

And that's where we will leave off for now, sorry this took so long had a bit of a writers block with the beginning. But yeah, next chapter we will finally have the Ultra Guardians against the former leaders of the former teams. And I hope you all stay safe, stay healthy and wash your hands!
