Hello everyone, DisneyAnimefan94 here and welcome back to Team Rainbow Rocket. Before this chapter starts I want to apologize to everyone for not updating this story last month, been trying real hard to focus on this story but things have me distracted. I'll try to remain focused on this story as we are super close to the end. But with that out of the way, I hope you all continue to enjoy the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon!
Chapter 17: Operation Plasma Part 2
Everyone stood up looking in awe as the two Unova legends stood towering over them.
"No way, Zekrom and Reshiram?" Iris said in disbelief. Ghetsis let out a chuckle.
"Yes, I have control over the dragons of truth and ideals, and they are mind to command." He said. "And much like in my world, I will use the power of these two beasts to force all selfish and evil humans to release their Pokémon in this one until there is no one left with a Pokémon but me." He said.
"No way." Iris said. "We will still find a way to stop you." The alternate universe Team Plasma leader looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Oh? And how will you do that my dear?" He said. "The last time I checked you're Pokémon aren't in no condition to fight on. And I doubt any other Pokémon you have are a match for my own." He said as the two dragons let out a pair of roars that shook the room. "And so as I did then, I will do now again." He said as he raised an arm into the sky. "Reshiram, and Zekrom unleash your might onto those who dare to oppose your power!" He said as both dragons began to glow all the while, Simisage and Dragonite stood in front of their human partners ready to protect them. Both dragons unleashed their signature attacks towards the two Unovan natives when all of a sudden a pair of holes opened up as the two went into them, and were deflected back at them. This surprised everyone as well as Ghetsis who was taken aback by this action.
"A pair of ultra wormholes!" Lillie said.
"Yeah, but what's coming out of them?" Misty asked. As if to answer the Cerulean Gym leader's question, out of one worm hole came a white lion while the other one a purple bat.
"Its Solgaleo and Lunala!" Ash said as Pikachu let out a cry of delight. Ghetsis gritted his teeth.
"So these are the two legedaries of Alola." He said to himself as he looks on seeing both Ash along with Lillie interacting with the two legends. The growl coming from the two dragons gained the attention of the large lion and bat as they looked at the dragons then looking back at the two Unovan natives, Solgaleo looking at Cilan and Lunala looking at Iris. "Guys it looks like they chose you two as their partners for this battle." Ash called out to them as the two were surprised.
"Really you want to battle with us?" Iris asked as Lunala let out a small coo with a nod while Solgleo snuggled itself against Cilan's face.
"Well I got to say, you might just be the friendliest legendaries I have ever met." Cilan said.
"Yeah me too." Iris said. "Alright then lets do this." She said as both she and Cilan got into ready positions as Ash and Lillie clear the battle field. But then Cilan and Iris's expressions soften in confusion. "Um wait, what extatically are their moves?" She asked as Rotomdex approached her.
"Allow me." Rotomdex said scanning both legendaries. "Solgaleo's two known moves are Flash Cannon, Steel Strike, Crunch and Zen Headbutt. Lunala's known moves are Moongeist Beam, Moonblast, Airslash and Phantom Force." He said.
"Alright that's all we need to know." Iris said as she looked at Cilan as the two looked at each other and nodded. "Lunala lets fight as one!" Iris said as Lunala let out a cry.
"Solgaleo, lets combine our exquisite aromas together." Cilan said as Solgaleo let out a loud roar, the two dragons on the opposite side of them roaring back.
"Alright then, Lunala use Moongeist Beam on Reshiram!" Iris commanded.
"And Solgaleo, use Steel Strike on Zekrom!" Cilan added as the two Pokemon unleashed their attacks on the two dragons. Ghetsis narrowed his eyes as he eyed the two moves.
"Very well, Reshiram counter with Blue Flare on Solgaleo and Zekrom counter with Bolt Strike on Lunala." The Unova ruler said as the two Pokemon began to glow and quickly unleashed their signature moves as they clashed with the Alolan legends moves creating a big cloud of smoke everyone covering there eyes. As the dust cloud cleared, both pairs of Pokémon on both sides took hits but surprisingly not effected by the others.
"It seems that both of our legendary Pokémon are equal in strength and in power." Ghetsis said as both Iris and Cilan had steady eyes on him. "But that can only linger for so long." He said as he extended his arm out. "Both of you, use Dragon Claw!" The Team Plasma leader commanded as both dragon's claws began to glow and charged at the two Alolan legends.
"Solgaleo, Flash Cannon!" Cilan called out.
"And Lunala Moonbeam!" Iris said as both the lion and bat like creatures fired out their attacks pushing back the two dragons as the both seemed to be effective, especially Lunala's Fairy Type move.
"Impressive, now I remember why you were all such nuisances before your fall." Ghetsis said. "But now let's see if your two legendary Pokémon can survive these attacks." He said. "Now Reshiram use Fusion Flair, and Zekrom use Fusion Bolt." He said as both dragons began to glow again. But before Cilan and Iris could call out another attack, both attacks hit Solgaleo and Lunala very quickly, knocking both to the ground everyone gasping in shock.
"Lunala!" Iris called out as she ran over to the large bat.
"Solgaleo!" Cilan said as he rushed over to the large lions side. Ghetsis let out a roaring laugh as everyone looked at him.
"Amazing, it seems that the legends of Alola are no match for those of the superior Unova region." He said. "So I will give you all one chance to walk away from this unharmed, surrender and release all of your Pokémon or don't and be destroyed." Everyone was in silence not knowing what to do. It was Iris who was first to break the silence as she faced the Team Plasma leader.
"You still don't get it." She said with a fierce look in her eyes. "We will never give up! And we refuse to bend a knee to your demands." She said.
"Iris is right." Cilan said. "We keep fighting to the end, even if it means you extinguish our exquisite taste." Ghetsis glared at them
"Then, its destruction then." He simply said. "Just like your other worldly counterparts." He said as he raised his hand as the two dragons prepared for their final attack. But just then both Solgaleo and Lunala stood up and began to glow. "What is this." He said as everyone was blinded by the light that both legendary Alolan Pokémon were giving off. However as this was happening something had began to materialize on Cilan and Iris's wrists as they peeked through the light to see what it was. There eyes widened when they realized that they were both now dawning black bracelets with a purple crystal in Iris's and an orange one on Cilan's.
"No way." Ash said as he was standing close by and realizing what was going on. As the light faded, Iris and Cilan got a better look at the now bracelets that they were wearing, staring at them in awe.
"These are…" Iris said.
"Z-Rings." Cilan said remembering the one Ash had shown them at the party. At the same time Ghetsis saw all of this and grunted in frustration.
"Impossible." He muttered under his breath. "How were they able to tap into that power?" Meanwhile on the other side of the field Cilan and Iris were looking their wrists observing the bracelets on their wrists.
"So what do we do with them?" Iris asked in confusion.
"You're suppose to perform a Z-Move with them!" Ash called out as his two Unovan friends looked at him.
"Z-Move?" Iris asked as a lightbulb lit inside Cilan's head.
"That's right, in Alola people and Pokemon perform a Z-Move, together when they are in sync." He said.
"And despite our short time, we've been in sync with both Solgaleo and Lunala." Iris said as she looked up at Lunala who looked back down at her as the same thing was going on with Cilan and Solgaleo. "Alright then, lets do it." Iris said as she looked over to Cilan who nodded. The two then got into ready positions, and turned the crystals in the center of their rings as they began to glow. Then almost instantly they could almost picture how to the Z move in their minds.
"Alright lets go!" They both said as they went though the moves.
"In this time of darkness, let the sun of Alola shine though!" Cilan said as he finished his Z move pose.
"Although it brings darkness, the moon of Alola at its fullest unleashed a light of its own onto the world." Iris chanted finishing hers as Ghetsis let out a growl.
"No, I will not allow this!" He said. "Zekrom, Reshiram stop them use your signature attacks!" He said as both dragons began to charge up to unleash their powerful attacks. On the other side of the battle field, Iris and Cilan had already struck their poses.
"Lets go!" Iris and Cilan said just as Zekrom and Reshiram unleashed their attacks.
"Alright Lunala, Menacing Moonraze Malestrom!" Iris shouted out.
"Go Solgaleo, Searing Sunraze Smash!" Cilan shouted as Sogaleo turned into a ball of light and charged at Zekrom while Lunala unleashed several beams of light colliding with the two dragons' attacks. It was a battle of strength as the energy from both attacks would go one way and go back towards the other way.
"Come on Lunala, please I believe in you!" Iris said as she cluched both hands together hoping her partner's attack would come through.
"You too Solgaleo, all of Alola is counting on you!" Cilan shouted as the eyes of both legendary Pokémon widened and powered through managing to push back the attacks of their Unovan counterparts as Ghetsis looked on in horror as both attacks hit as a plummet of smoke filled the room. When the smoke cleared Solgaleo and Lunala stood on Iris and Cilan's side while on the other Ghetsis looked shocked to see both of his dragons unconscious on the floor.
"No, no….NOOOOOOOOO!" He cried out in agony as Iris and Cilan celebrated.
"Alright we did it!" The both said as they gave each other a pair of high fives as they were then greeted by Ash and the others.
"Great job you guys." Ash said.
"Yeah you guys were amazing." Lillie said causing the Unovan duo to blush at the acknowledgement.
"How?" Ghetsis spoke up disrupting the small celebration going on as everyone looked up at him as he recalled back the two legendary Pokémon to their Master Balls. "How was I defeated by children. I'm suppose to be perfect. The perfect ruler of a perfect world." He said as he continued to ramble as Lille cautiously approached him.
"Its because you lost, to those who are truly one with their Pokémon who treat them with respect." She said. "Now if you don't mind step aside and let our friends trapped in their rooms go." She said as the other worldly Team Plasma leader growled in frustration and looked up at her with an anger in his eyes.
"NEVER!" He shouted as he got up and pushed her down surprising everyone. "I will never submit to those who oppose me!" He then turned to face the others who were still shocked by what had happened. "Unless you don't want to see me do something worse to your friend, you will do as I say and release your Pokémon, and tell your legendary Pokémon to back off as well ." He said as everyone stood hesitantly not knowing what to do. "Very well then." He said as turned back towards Lillie and began to raise his arm against her.
"Alright!" The voice said belonging to that of Ash as everyone was shocked. "We'll do what you say, just please don't hurt our friend." He said as he unstrapped the belt with his Pokéballs off his waist as Pikachu pleaded with him not to do it, the rest doing all the same as Solgaleo and Lunala backed off from attacking.
"A wise choice." Ghetsis said with an evil grin. "Doing what your elders command of you."
"I see something haven't changed." A new voice said as everyone looked behind them to see who said it. Then Ash, Cilan and Iris's eyes widened to see who it was. Standing behind them was a man wearing a very familiar silver lab coat.
"Colress." Was all Ash could say.
To be continued…
And that is where we will leave it off. Next chapter might be very short as it will be a break from all the action before Ash takes on Giovanni. But again, I hope you all enjoyed the story, and I hope you all continue to stay safe.
