Chapter 18: Dimensional Cleansing
Everyone just stood there as Ash and his past Unovan traveling companions were shocked at who they were looking at.
"Colress…" Was all Ash could say as the familiar scientist gave a smile before pressing a button on his wrist device and disappearing surprising everyone before reappearing again this time in between both Ghetsis and Lillie, before disappearing this time with Lillie and reappearing again this time next to the group with Lillie by his side. "Lillie, everyone get away from him!" Ash called out as Lillie stood in front of Colress.
"No wait Ash!" She said as everyone was confused. "Colress is part of the Aether Foundation." She said as Iris put her hands on her hips unconvinced.
"Yeah right, and I'm suddenly fond of ice types." She said sarcastically. "That guy nearly destroyed us with his army of mind controlled Pokémon."
"Indeed, he was even able to control Reshiram for a short period of time." Cilan added as Lillie nodded.
"Yes, we know." She said. "We know all about Colress's past. But all of his research done prior to working for our world's Team Plasma, caught my mother's interest and wanted him to use that knowledge for good." She said as she lowered her head. "And yeah at first when I saw him, I too was afraid but my mom said he would be under strict supervision if he did anything harmful. But he hasn't done anything yet."
"Well said Miss Lille." Colress said looking up at Ash who was still on his guard. "Mr. Ketchum, you and your previous associates have a right to be cautious around me. But as Miss Lillie has said, I have done nothing harmful since my arrival here at Aether Paradise. And I have indeed come to help, if you would trust me." Ash then looked back at Iris and Cilan who looked at each other before looking at Ash with that 'its your decision' look as Ash took a deep breath and lower his guard.
"Okay fine, what are you here to help us out with?" He said as a grin was on Colress's face.
"Splendid." Was all he could say. "And to answer your question." He said looking back at the other worldly Ghetsis. "I am here for him" He said with a glimmer in his glasses as Ghetsis winced.
"M-me?" Ghetsis said stuttered before recomposing himself and let out a laugh. "Don't be ridiculous, you have no part in my plans. Even in my world I have no need of you since I have accomplished my mission, to bring peace in Unova." He said as Colress let out a sigh.
"Oh please Ghetsis." He said before looking up at him. "In my time here working for President Lusamine, I have discovered the true meaning of the relationships of People and Pokémon. And here in Alola, I learn that they both share their power with each other through Z-moves." He said. "And this is why, I despise you Ghetsis, and everything you stand for." He said as he pressed a button on his extending out his hand as a surge of energy began to surround the alternate universe Team Plasma leader.
"Wha-what's happening to me!?" Ghetsis cried out in agony.
"That's simple," Colress began to explain. "While we were talking, I was able to for a lack of a better word, tap into your dimensional channel and now you are being sent back to your world."
"Wait!" Ghetsis cried out. "You can't do that! I am Ghetsis, the true ruler of the multiverse! I'm suppose to bring peace!" He said as he began to reach out before his whole body flickered before being pulled into the surge of energy and disappeared.
"Well that's takes care of that." Colress said as he then turned back to his wrist devise. "And now to take care of the rest." He said. "It may take time for an ordinary scientist to do this, but I am no ordinary scientist." He said as he pressed one last button. "There now we'll let dimensional travel do all the rest." He said.
"Uh the rest of what exactly?" Misty asked confused as Colress turned to her.
"Well my Kantonian friend, this world or to be more specific, this particular area, has been merged with five other worlds in the forms of the leaders of criminal orginizations, and right now I have been able to lock onto each of the other leaders dimensional signals and as we speak all those who game here are being pulled back into their own dimension." At that moment in all four rooms, just as Colress had said, it was happening. In all four rooms, the Ultra Guardians and their Tapu partners all witnessed it as a surge of energy surrounded each of the knocked-out leaders and their legendary Pokémon before slowly disappearing. In the Team Flare room the alternate universe Ash began to notice it too as he looked down at his hands and observed around him the same surge of energy that surrounded his word's Lysandre.
"Guess this is it for me." He said looking at Clemont and Serena. "Its just I'm not sure what awaits me when I go back." Tears soon formed his eyes as Serena gasped and grabbed his hands into hers as he looked up at the short haired honey blonde girl.
"They'll be there Ash, she'll be there, I'm sure of it." She said as there was a glimmer of hope in the other world Ash's eyes.
"She's right, I'm sure everyone is waiting for you back there." Clemont said.
"But what if they aren't?" Ash said as the glimmer faded from his eyes.
"Think about it, Lysandre was close to using the giant stone to recreate the world right? So if you guys disappeared before that it means it may have stopped moving and the others may have destroyed it." Clemont said. "So basically Ash don't loose hope!" The glimmer in Ash's eyes returned as tears were now coming out of his eyes.
"You're right." He said. "You're both right, I won't loose hope, not now or ever." He said as he began to finally fade away. "Thank you, both of you." He said as he disappeared as Serena's hands clasped in on themselves as she held them close to her heart and her eyes closed.
"Ash, I pray that you will find your friends back home." She said as she then heard Tapu Koko let out a cry as she turned her back to the legendary and then felt something in her hands. It was the Z ring and crystal that the other Ash had, she looked back at the island guardian and smiled as she walked up to it. "Thank you, for helping us." Serena said giving it back to the legendary Pokémon. Tapu Koko looked for a while at the Z-Ring before letting out a loud cry and began to glow, blinding the two Kalos natives. When the glow dimmed they looked up to see Tapu Koko was gone. The same thing happened in the other three rooms as the three other Tapu's glowed and disappeared, Kiawe, Sophoclese and Lana noticing the Tapu Z Crystals they had were gone.
Meanwhile back in the main lobby, Colress looked at a chart on his devise and nodded.
"Good, all of the dimensional anomalies have all been settled. All of those that were summoned here are now back in their respected worlds. I've also managed to unlock the doors that Ghetsis blocked. Everyone who was sent up to face the leaders are now free to go." He said as everyone smiled in relief. Just then they heard the soft growls coming from Lunala and Solgaleo as Ash and Lillie walked over and petted them.
"Thank you, Solgaleo, Lunala for protecting us in our time of need." Lille said as both legendary Pokémon nuzzled her and Ash as then the two portals that the two came out of reappeared again behind them as the two turned around and face them before walking through them and disappearing along with the portals. Just then Iris noticed her wrist as where once the Z-Ring was it was gone as Cilan noticed this too. The two looking at each other and just shrugged. Ash then turned to face the door that lead to the one room they were trying to get to.
"Then there's one more left." He said as everyone looked at the door. "Everyone, wait for the others to come back, I'm going after Giovani." He said as he felt two pairs of hands on his shoulder, him and Pikachu looking to see it was Brock and Misty.
"Not without us you aren't." Brock said with a grin on his face.
"Yeah almost everyone here faced off against a leader of a team from another world, and now its our turn, along with you Ash." Misty said with a wink as Ash and Pikachu smiled at them as they looked at each other and nodded.
"Okay then, the three of us versus Giovanni." He said as he and his original travel partners entered the main room of the castle to take on the Team Rocket leader.
So we are close to the end of Rainbow Reunion as next time it's the original trio vs Giovanni, I hope you all stay tuned for what comes next and thank you for being patient with this story. So for now,
This is DisneyAnimefan94, signing out.
