Chapter 14: Operation Flare
After running up the stairs and to the right hall, Clemont and Serena had arrived at the door that would lead them to their all familiar enemy. With the help from Luxray, the two entered the room and came face to face with a orange haired spiked haired older man who was watching multiple screens.
"Very spirited you Ultra Guardians are." The man said. "Never thought there would be this many of you compared to our gathered force." Clemont and Serena looked at what he was watching and much to their surprise it was Ash's other friends battling against who they assumed were the leaders of the other teams they mentioned. The man turned around as the holographic screens turned off. "And this leads up to us." He said as both Clemont and Serena had focused looks on their faces.
"Lysandre…" Serena said with a scowl as Lysandre let out a chuckle. "Well hello there, Miss Serena, Gym Leader Clemont, so good to see you again." He said.
"How is this possible?" Clemont asked. "Last time we saw you, you were being crushed by the Zygarde brothers." He said.
"Crushed?" Lysandre asked confused. "I'm afraid you are mistaken my boy, I wasn't crushed. I was triumphant. I was able to take control of both Zygardes and was able to take control of the huge Mega Stone." He said as Clemont and Serena were then confused. "I see you two are very confused by what I mean, but I understand fully." He said as he extended his arms out. "You see, I am not the Lysandre you had successfully stopped, for you see I am him from another world!" He said surprising the Kalos natives. "Yes, yes surprising I know. It even surprised me just when I was ready to reshape the world, I was sucked into a strange wormhole and then was sent here. And thanks to our host Giovanni I will finished what I started in this world." He said as he took out a Pokéball. "And none shall stand in my way." He said as he tossed it and opened as out came his ace partner Pyroar."
"No way, we stopped you once and we can stop you again." Serena said as both she, Clemont and Luxray stood their ground as she took our Pokéball and tossed it as out came Braixen." Lysandre chuckled at this catching the two and their Pokémon off guard.
"Don't be so certain." He said as then the ears on both Luxray and Braixen twitched and eyes widened and looked behind them with worry.
"What is it you two?" Clemont asked conserved.
"Yeah what's wrong?" Serena asked too, as just then something blue came right at Serena as Luxray leaped into action pushing Serena away and unleashing a swift attack destroying the blue object as a piece of it landed by her feet. She picked it up and gasped at what she had in her hands. "This looks like…" But before she could finish a shadow from where the blue object emerged as both Clemont and Serena gasped as it landed next to Pyroar. It was a Greninja but instead of blue it was black and it was in a familiar form.
"Clemont, th-that's…" Serena said in horror.
"Yeah, Greninja in its bond phenomenon form." Clemont said just as shocked as he was.
"Then that means…" Serena said still in shock.
"It means I've joined the winning team." A familiar voice said as from out of the shadows where Greninja was hiding came a familiar face. It was Ash, but not the Ash they came to Aether Paradise with but a different one. He sported a black jacket similar to Lysandre along with matching black pants, shoes and sporting an orange cape with a white version of Team Flare's emblem on it. He walked passed them with a villainous step in his stride as all Serena could do was clasp her hands over her mouth and shook her head with tears in her eyes.
"No way, there's just no way…" She said.
"Yes, unlike my counterpart, I was able to take control of Ash and his Pokémon and harnessed the power of Bond Phenomenon for our own." Lysandre said with a wicked grin on his face. "Now come my new apprentice let's destroy these two and anyone else who stands in the way of our goal." He said looking at the evil Ash as he nodded. Clemont quickly looked at Serena who was still in a state of shock.
"Serena, please that's not our Ash. Our Ash, the one we came with is waiting for us to complete our mission to unlock the door that leads to Lusamine." Clemont said as Serena remembered as she flashed back to when the last time she saw him, in his Ultra Guardians uniform, with Pikachu waiting for him. Serena then calmed down, took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her eyes and slapped the sides of her cheeks.
"Your right Clemont, our Ash the real one is waiting for us." She said as she looked at the evil one in front of her with the same grin as Lysandre on his face. "Clemont, you handle Lysandre, I'll take care of Ash." She said calmly.
"You sure, fire types are weak against water types." Clemont said with concern as Serena turned to face him.
"Don't worry, I just need to distract him long enough to remind him of who he once was." Serena said with a confident smile on her face as Clemont smiled back.
"Okay then." He said as he turned to Luxray. "Let's go Luxray!" He said as his Luxray charged the field towards Pyroar who also charged in. Meanwhile the evil Ash stared at Serena the two having intense looks in their eyes.
"Ash, please listen to me, you are not evil, Lysandre did something to you that made you like this please you got to remember!" Serena cried out.
"You're right he did do something to me. He made both me and Greninja stronger, strong enough to take out Alan and his pathetic mega evolved Charizard." Evil Ash said as Serena was shocked at what she was hearing. "And now that I am stronger, I will take you out then that pathetic counterpart version of me." Serena's face turned red in anger at this. There was no way this version of her crush from another world was getting to the one she loved.
"I won't let you!" Serena shouted. "Braixen now use Hidden Power!" She said as her partner fired off multiple blue orbs of energy.
"Greninja use Double Team!" Evil Ash said as then multiple Greninjas appeared as several of the orbs hit the fake ones. Serena grunted in frustration.
"I know this has no effect but, Braixen use Flamethrower!" Serena said as Braixen pulled out its stick from its tail and pointed at the multiple Greninjas in the air as fire came from the end of it engulfing all the fakes in flames. However, once she hit them all the real one was nowhere to be found.
"Predictable as ever." Evil Ash said with a grin. "Greninja now!" He said as just then from the shadows Greninja appeared using the cut move on Braixen as she fell to her knees as Greninja landed perfectly by his masters side all the while Ash chuckled and Serena just stared at him. Meanwhile the battle between Lysandre and Clemont was intense as the young gym leader's Luxray dodged Pyroar's own Flamethrower attack.
"Now Luxray use Thunder Fang!" Clemont said as electricity came out from his Pokémon's fangs.
"Counter with Fire Fang!" Lysandre commanded as fire came from the fangs of his. The two cats charged at each other biting both with their respected attacks inflicting pain on one another as the jumped back.
"You will pay for what you did to your world's Ash." Clemont said.
"Why should you be concerned for my Ash? Shouldn't you be concerned for yours?" Lysandre mocked as Clemont grunted in frustration.
"Luxray use Wild Charge!" Clemont said as the black and blue cat was surrounded by electrical energy as it charged at the lion.
"Dodge and use Incinerate!" Lysandre called out to his partner as it dodged and fired a beam of fire at the electric type cat.
"Turn around and take it head on!" Clemont said as Luxray turned around continuing its charge as it took a hit from Pyroar's attack but still charged. Pyroar increased its attack strength but Luxray kept charging surprising it as it got closer and closer until a loud boom and a billow of smoke appeared surprising both Clemont and Lysandre as it even interrupted the battle of Evil Ash and Serena as they looked over. As the smoke cleared both Luxray and Pyroar were down with visible battle damage. Slowly the two large cats opened there eyes and got up at the same time, and got back up on their paws wobbling. Luxray winced in pain as it looked like it was going to fall back down but then it was Pyroar who collapsed back down surprising Lysandre.
"Master Lysandre!" Evil Ash called out Serena knew this was her moment of opportunity.
"Now Braixen use Fire Blast!" Serena called out as the fox like Pokémon used the signature fire type move that had the symbol meaning fire and aimed it at the frog. Surprising both it and Evil Ash as Greninja was then burned as it fell on one knee.
"Greninja!" Evil Ash cried out as Braixen then leaped on to it pinning it down with her stick. She then looked back at her trainer and cried out to her as Serena nodded and ran onto the battle field right towards Ash's evil counterpart.
"No!" Lysandre said as he was about to lunge for the honey blonde girl but was stopped by a still going Luxray who had electricity surging over its body.
"Greninja get out of there!" Evil Ash called out.
"Braixen use Hidden Power now!" Serena said still running towards Evil Ash as Braixen used its attack on Greninja in point blank range to keep it pinned. Serena then leaped on Ash pinning down both of his wrists with all of her strength.
"Let go, LET GO OF ME!" Evil Ash shouted his face in anger and frustration while on Serena's it was different, it was calmer then it was earlier as she smiled down on him.
"No Ash, I'm never giving up on you, just like you never gave up on me." Serena said. "You know you may not be the Ash I know, and I know I'm not the Serena you know but still, she said as she leaned down surprising him with a kiss as it surprised everyone in the room. As she slowly raised her head, Evil Ash violently pushed her away as he was on his knees his hands clinched over his head as Greninja was doing the same thing.
"Wh-what's happening to me!?" Evil Ash cried and screamed out loud, as a surge of memories came through him as his eyes widened as he then fell back down on to the floor, with the same thing happening to Greninja as it reverted back to its normal form. Just then Ash rose from the floor opening his eyes looking at Serena. "S-Serena?" Ash asked as Serena nodded. "SERENA!" He cried out as he hugged her. "Serena I'm so glad you are safe." He said as a surprised Serena smiled and hugged him back.
"Thank you, but I have some news that may shock you." Serena said as the two looked at each other.
"What kind of news?" Ash asked as Serena took a deep breath.
"Well, I'm not the Serena you know, you are in an alternate universe brought here under mind control by Lysandre." Serena said as the other Ash's eyes widened.
"Wait, not my Serena, Lysandre?" He asked confused as he then turned to see the Team Flare leader.
"You, what have you done with my friends!" He shouted as Lysandre scowled and backed away from the group.
"Your friends are gone Mr. Ketchum consumed by the powers of the two Zygards and the Mega Stone." He said as a look of disbelief was on Ash's face.
"No there's no way, your lying!" Ash said with tears streaming down his face.
"Am I, well take a look at this." Lysandre said as he recalled his Pyroar and pulled out a Pokéball however the top half was purple with two pink bumps on top and a white M above the white center.
"Hold on, that's a Master Ball!" Clemont said as Lysandre let out an evil laugh.
"Your right boy this is a Master Ball." Just before I was consumed by the wormhole along with Ash I was able to catch something close by, and guess what I am not the only one. Meanwhile the Team Magma room Maxie had just recalled both his Mightyana and Camerupt as he let out a chuckle.
"Well, you children are certainly much tougher and I expected, he said as he pulled out a purple Pokéball but I don't believe it won't be enough as to what I have next." In the Team Aqua room Archie grunted in frustration calling back his Sharpedo and Crawdaunt.
"Well, you are your father's daughter after all Miss Lana, I'll give you that." Archie said as a sadistic grin on his face. "But guess what it'll take more then that little storm you whipped up to put me down!" He said pulling out a purple Pokéball. In the Team Galactic room Cyrus recalled both his Honchcrow and Weavile.
"You never cease to amaze me Miss Dawn, you are just strong of a trainer as you are a coordinator, and you as well Mr. Sophocles." He said as he raised a Purple Pokéball. "But now I belive is the time, to raise the stakes." He said as in all four rooms the team leaders tossed out their master balls. Out of Maxie's came out Groudon, Archie's landed in the pool releasing a Kyogre, Cyrus brought out Giratina in its Altered form, and Lysandre had Zygarde in its 50% form.
"Now let us see how you as well as all of your friends can do against the power of legends!" Lysandre said letting out a bellowing laugh.
