"You are not making me leave!"
"Sorry, Tiana, but your sister was adamant about this." Victor folded his arms. "And she has a point, there is something off about this tournament, and she doesn't want you anywhere near it when crap hits the fan."
"Oh yeah?" Tiana huffed. Victor could definitely beat her and her Pokémon in a direct battle, but she wasn't deterred due to one thing. "Anto taught me a really helpful trick that I can use in almost any situation!"
The Kalos native raised his brow. "Huh? What trick—"
Channeling Anto, Tiana ran away from Victor as fast as he could before he even finished that sentence.
"Wha—Tiana, get back here!" Victor cried out in shock before running after the younger girl. What he didn't know was that the amethyst eyed girl hid behind a corner as Victor ran hurriedly past her.
The young girl from Kalos sighed deeply. "Ma soeur va me tuer… (My sister is going to kill me…)" But now what she could do? She could just hide somewhere and watch Anto's battle from one of the screens later on. But how would she hide from Victor and Trinity for that long?
Her attention was then distracted as she saw a peculiar sight of Wes sneaking around. The girl's mind quickly recalled how Wes was actually a pickpocket/thief in rehab—even she could tell this rehab was failing miserably—but the look on his face was dead serious than the usually devil mare care attitude of his.
She found herself trailing behind him very slowly. However, she eventually lost track of the Orre native after quite a while in a forest.
"Well at least Victor for sure can't find me…" Tiana complained softly to herself before hearing some voices coming from behind a few trees. She slowly checked what was going on only to quickly clasp her mouth as she saw the infamous Hunter J and several other men cornering and tying up Wes.
At that moment, Hunter J started to turn her head, prompting the black haired girl to quickly duck into the ground with frozen horror.
"Something wrong?" A loud voice called out.
Hunter J pressed on her Visor, using its functions to see if it could detect something.
"… I don't detect anything in my instruments." She said as she looked over towards the area and saw nothing of interest to her. She went back towards the group and ordered Wes and his Pokémon be kept in one of the warehouses where his fate would be decided later.
However, after they all left, out of the shadows of a tree, Tiana was pushed out as Delta Wartortle popped out of the shadows with her.
"Sorry about that, miss. I couldn't let her find you. I was a bit worried her device would detect me in the shadows, but looks like I made it work." The dark and fighting type admitted.
"What's going on?" Tiana was very shocked at the situation, but she knew one thing: Wes was currently in trouble.
"Wes asked me to scout ahead, but at the same time, I tried to survey the area—only to spot those men coming too late. I was going to try and rescue him, until I spotted you as well." The delta Pokémon explained. "My trainer can take care of himself, but I assumed you would be in more need of my assistance."
"Oh. Then let me help you save him! I've got…" Tiana trailed off as she realized not many of her Pokémon could actually help her out in this situation, but then she shook her head. Anto told her to believe in them, and she would take that to heart. "I've got back up!"
"That would make rescuing my trainer much easier, but how do we do that?"
Tiana thought a bit before she realized something that happened before. "Hmmm… do you think it's possible to flood their warehouse?"
The ability of teleportation is a widely acknowledge power that can be seen as useful and amazing. However, as young Anto was finding out, teleporting too much was very disorienting especially in a wide spread battle.
"Kryx, Teleport!" The young boy and his alien friend blinked a few feet away before the trainer grabbed the Ultra Ball clipped to his belt while continuing his run.
"Gyarados, Hyperbeam!" The Team Snagem Leader with ridiculous mustache and eyelashes pointed towards the boy as his Pokémon unleashed their attacks. Reacting quickly, the mute threw out Super Nut and made Kryx teleport the three of them out of the way of the attacks.
Hunter J made her visor track the gathering energy of the teleport and ordered her poison and bug type Pokémon to fire in the direction she was pointing. "Pin them down, Ariados! Sticky Web!"
The instant the trio popped out, Super Nut shot out a Stealth Rock with amazing reaction time and Kryx followed it up by blasting the rock right for Hunter J. Mega Salamance easily avoided the boulder thrown their way then they avoided an Aura Sphere from Sebastion's Lucario.
Gonzap's Gyarados roared mightily as it rushed for Anto again. However, Ferland slid in between them and collided with the mighty water type.
"Thanks, Benga!" The amber eyed boy thanked his flame haired friend.
"We can't fight here, they'll eventually surround us!" Sebastion spoke up before he ordered his Raichu to shock some Snagem Grunts and their Pokémon. However, in the distance, everyone could notice that some of Hunter J's mercenaries were coming in as reinforcements.
Anto looked over back to Black's stadium and then motioned to everyone to follow him there.
He thought maybe he could lose them in the Stadium somehow.
The mute was not expecting to be at the center of attention with Team Plasma grunts and their Pokémon to be looking down on him as he entered.
"Should have seen that coming." Anto monotonously said to himself as he noticed the look on the Team Plasma grunts.
One of the grunts pointed to him. "It's him, the rabid attacker of Lord Ghetsis!"
"Get him!"
Anto threw out his Poké Ball to bring out Lily and quickly order a Flash attack to blind the hooded grunts while they found themselves running towards the giant Castle that literally came out of the ground.
"Why are we heading towards here!?" Summer asked.
"I didn't have anywhere else to run!" Anto answered back as they all found themselves entering into a large room with White, Drayden, Brycen, Cheren, Bianca, and the six of the Seven Sages of Team Plasma.
"Anto!" White and Bianca cried out.
"Black is heading to the top of the castle to face N! You have to get to him!" White called out.
Oh right, Anto had momentarily forgotten Team Plasma's existence—not that he would tell anyone that since he had his own many problems to deal with.
"I would if I wasn't in the middle of something right now!" Anto looked back before a large amount of screams came from outside the stadium. A few seconds later, the doors busted down as Gonzap and Hunter J came walking through the front door with their Pokémon.
"And here I thought we looked weird. You old guys look like mushrooms." Gonzap folded his arms as he motioned that insult over to the Six sages. His eyes looked over to Drayden. "And you, old man, have weirder facial hair than I do."
"Who the heck are you!?" One of the Six Sages screamed out.
Gonzap pounded his chest and pointed towards them all. "Clean out your ears and listen! The name's Gonzap, leader of Team Snagem! And from here on out, we're the big dogs that no one is going to mess with!"
"You brute! We are Team Plasma! We've been chosen by the great Unova Legends to carry out the will of the Hero of Ideals!"
"You talk fancy, but all I hear is Tarous Crap!" Gonzap declared loudly as he pointed accusingly at the sages. "Since when does a hero pull out some stupidly big castle off the ground and scare a lot of mindless idiots? And people called us thugs."
"How dare you, heathen!" One of the Sages, Zinzolin, shouted back angrily before he ordered his Pokémon to sic on the massive body builder. Gonzap took on the challenge and his Gyarados roared to meet with his opponents.
Meanwhile, Anto's attention was caught when he saw a strange cloaked figure pass by the corner of his eye towards higher up into the castle. A dark feeling came to his stomach as he felt the need to go up there. "Well while they're turning this into a giant free for all, I'm going up to help Black after all! You guys make sure Hunter J, and the rest of these guys don't hurt anyone!"
"You got it!" Benga commanded Ferland to knock out a nearby grunt that was coming to the aid of the Sages.
Anto and his Pokémon quickly chased after the cloaked figure, but once more there was this bad feeling in his stomach that felt like it was getting worse.
Suddenly, as he was climbing, he felt the entire castle shake and feel… hotter? Regardless it happened and it was followed by a powerful roar from a creature he never heard before except back at Icirrus City. It was a similar feeling to Zekrom, which meant that Reshiram had just been awakened or was currently fighting his counterpart.
Anto took out every one of his Pokémon as they all turned towards a large, ornate archway and ran under it.
They reached a gigantic marble throne room with what looked to be emptied pools of dried water. There were decorations that filled up the pillars and walls in such a way it felt like it was some grandiose place far more than the young boy could imagine.
Or at least he assumed. It was hard to tell with how everything that wasn't fire proofed was burned to ashes.
As he looked around, a voice called out to him, "Anto!"
The mute looked ahead, and saw not one, but two Legendary Unova dragons staring him down. Zekrom with N right under him, standing in front of an escalated throne with Black below the stairs with a new Reshiram beside him.
"And at last the secondary being makes his appearance." N declared out loud.
"N!? Oh my Arceus, dude! What are you doing!? Tell everyone to stop what they are doing, right now!" The boy frantically linked.
"No, the world is in the verge of finally being saved."
"Saved? Saved from what? Dimension Enterprise? The demon in my head?"
"What no—what was that last one?" N blinked and suddenly looked to the mute.
"Okay fine, long story short, there's a high possibility that I am dead and brought to unlife due to the possibility of an eldritch demon fragment implanted in my brain that is slowly devouring my soul to once more ascend back to all of its unholy, and ancient power."
Black paused for a second to see the look on N's face. The boy was usually stoic in the face of everything. Now the green haired boy's face was emotionless as he tried obviously stopped thinking to process that entire sentence.
After the longest few seconds in the world, N finally spoke up. "… Why is it no matter how many times we meet, you somehow always baffle me without even trying?"
"… I baffle you?" Anto asked honestly.
"You wore a dress in our last meeting! I was thinking all about it all that night!"
Anto, Black, and Anto's Pokémon all took a step back. (The Legendaries just stared at N with the most confused look.)
"NOT LIKE THAT!" N stomped his foot down in annoyance.
Anto visibly sighed in relief before quickly glancing around. "I mean… there's nothing wrong with being gay…"
"I AM NOT GAY!" N fumed in anger and clutched his head.
"I never said that! I'm just saying that the idea of being gay will not be looked down on if and when it does come up." The black haired boy looked around warily in case some angry LGBT people were nearby.
N pulled on his head harder. "GAHHHHHH!?"
Black looked on in utter surprise, the man who annoyed him with his cold, calculating aura… Anto… how could a mute person bring this type of character out of the green haired king?
Zekrom looked back at the boy and sniffed the air. "Your scent… why is it different?"
The white dragon turned towards Anto, "This air; I know you."
Super Nut, Sentinel, Takezo, and Ohko stepped in front of the boy. "If you plan to attack him once more, then legend or not, we shall battle you!" Takezo brandished his blade.
N, after breathing in deeply, calmed down Zekrom. "Let us get back to serious business."
"Nobody take that as he's saying that Gay rights aren't important business! Because it is!" Anto spoke around the room.
"SHUT UP ALREADY!" N snapped quickly at Anto's political correctness before finding it deep within himself to calm down again.
It then dawned on the green haired boy that he has just told a mute boy to shut up. Well that was something he was never expecting to do or think off in his life.
"The point is!" N shouted out, trying to get both of their attention. "I have been waiting for both of you. The two of you, who stand in my way of a perfect world…. What is it, Anto?!" N gritted his teeth as he saw Anto raised his hand like a shy child in a class room.
"Uhh, I either wasn't paying that much attention, or I forgot, but what exactly is your plan?"
"I plan to free Pokémon from the cruelty of trainers. Nothing more, nothing less."
Black then pointed. "That's wrong N! Pokémon and Humans can work together! Sure there are bad guys, but not all Pokémon are being subjected to our will!"
"Wait. That was your plan?" Anto looked on in utter confusion. "That's stupid."
"What do you think I've been trying to tell him?" Black spoke up.
"I have seen the pain of Pokémon! I've seen them slowly lose their voice as Poké Balls continue to take away their voice, their free will! Only by freeing them will Pokémon truly be happy!" N exclaimed.
"Ethics aside, what are you going to do about the economy?" The mute boy pointed his finger up.
The other two boys suddenly opened their eyes and looked to the mute in confusion.
"Economy?" N asked simply.
Now Anto's eyes widened in shock as he threw his hands up in the air. "YES! The economy! N, do you even realize how much this society depends on things like trainers and the Pokémon League for jobs? Say you do make everyone stop being trainers, how is Unova going to make money!? How can you replace a system that has kept Unova's financial state afloat for decades without crippling everyone and potentially causing a theoretical Stock Market Failure or Great Economic Depression for the entire world!?"
N was stunned to silence. Anto may have been talking about worst case scenario, but even he understood that if the stock markets crash, it would be horrible for not only Unova, but the entire world. "I… I…"
The mute face palmed. "You bloody didn't think about that; did you?"
"B-But t-the Pokémon will be free!" The green haired king managed to stammer out.
"Well maybe? But even I know that if poverty levels raises so do the crime rates! Less educated people; less jobs from police—basically so many bad things will happen to us, we might go back to roping up Pokémon just to make some desperate people survive! And in the end, you'll just be causing the collapse of society as a whole and the world as we know it would be like that post-apocalyptic movie, Angry Sam: Wrath Street except without the really cool looking car races!"
"I loved that move!" Black commented quickly.
"I know right? I especially loved how they had a strong female lead in that!"
The two boys then looked over to N who fell to his knees.
Ohko then pointed in surprise. "Whoa guys! Anto used Logic and it was Super Effective!"
"I am starting to see more merit into talking out problems than fighting it out. Why do we not always do this?" Takezo looked around to his posse.
Black looked to his new Pokémon, the legendary Reshiram that chose him as the hero of Truth… now what exactly could they do if N already took a heavy blow?
"Mmm Ored! Whaf ss plaffened tuu boo!?" (My Lord! What has happened to you!?)
Once more, everyone turned to look at the man in a wheel chair who was wearing a full body cast.
Black gasped and pointed. "It's you! … Who are you?" He slowly dropped his arm as he realized he was pointing at someone that looked too injured to be even out of a bed right now.
"It's Ghetsis." N stood back up in surprise.
Anto lurched. "Oh snap! I did that to him?!"
"Mife Kink! Ou ust ef fese mile, picable, demonif-spaffed fiefs beb tut u ith beir silk-toul bies!" (My King! You must not let these vile, despicable, demonic-spawned beasts get to you with their silver-tongued lies!) Ghetsis shouted through a slightly muffled face cast.
N cleared his throat. "He's right. Whatever happens, you two still stand in the way of my goals."
Black and Anto with their Pokémon shared a look that basically said: you understood him?
"So what? You're just going to ignore me? Jerk." Anto rolled his eyes.
"It's alright, Anto. I've always known it would come down between me and N in a battle." Black prepared himself as he stepped forward.
"Black, you misunderstand." N turned towards the other Unova native. "As I have been saying, you are only one of two trainers that are in the way of my plan. The other…" The green haired boy slowly pointed to the mute who stood out in the room because of how out of place he was. "Is Anto. I won't battle you unless you prove that your counter to my plan is stronger than Anto's."
The amnesiac raised his hand again. "N, I'm not actually against your plan, I'm just pointing out the really huge holes that you somehow missed horribly—scratch that last part—that you still are missing horribly."
N narrowed his eyes at the mute. "I'm not battling either of you until a victor between the two of you is determined. Think of this as the proper finals of the Pokémon League."
"I wanted to battle Anto fairly. Not like this!" Black threw his hand out.
"I toff ue mife bay bat!" (I thought you might say that!) Ghetsis plopped one of his casted arms over his handle and slammed it on a button. Despite flinching in pain somewhat, a large door opened up in the side of the room…
"Ahh! It's the missing gym leaders!" Black cried out. All six of the missing gym leaders were held up in the air by floating orbs that trapped their hands and legs.
The man in a cast let out a menacing laugh that was greatly diminished by the fact he was wearing a cast and the fact that he started coughing two seconds into the laugh because of how even laughing hurt. "Baff duu den clee…" (As you can see…)
Anto mentally linked out loud to everyone. "Yeah, no offense, but I'm stopping you right there. Since I can't take anymore of your half words, I'm just going to assume that if Black and I don't do as N is told you'll hurt the Gym Leaders."
The mute then swore he saw Ghetsis' one good eye turn red when it looked towards him. Then he started muttering things, that everyone was quite sure were just more grunts of passionate hatred rather than muffled language of a hurt guy.
"Ghetsis! Remember what your doctor said! Stress is bad for you!" N yelled out.
"You guys are sick, you know that right!?" Black shouted as he focused back to the gym leaders.
Anto's heart sank as he actually knew a majority of them as friends. "Black, we don't have a choice! We're going to have to fight each other." However, something else was off: Anto moved his hands around his body as he did this.
"Anto, why are you making so many over exaggerated… signs… you know what? Never mind! Fine, N, we'll play your twisted plan! Sorry, Anto, but I have to beat you to save Unova!"
"Are we really fighting?" Sentinel asked.
Anto seemed nervous but still gave a smile to his friends. "Yeah, everyone back up but Lily, she's going first."
Back down below, things had only escalated as the fight dragged on back out towards the stadium.
Team Snagem was now battling Team Plasma while some of the other previous league contestants were helping evacuate and protect the civilians while battling the two teams in a free for all.
Summer ducked under a Golbat from a Team Snagem Grunt before Flow blasted the Pokémon with a Psychic move. "We need to contain the fight somehow! We don't want a repeat of Nimbasa!"
Ben and his Pichu ran in and strung his guitar that unleashed a powerful torrent of electricity. In a few seconds, a large chunk of Hunter J's mercenaries along with some Plasma and Snaggem goons fell down unconscious.
"How exactly is this different from Nimbasa?" Ben asked her.
"For one—Duck!— we're all in one place, and with how destructive things got back then, we should probably keep it in—Flow, over there!—one area." Summer cried out while the fight raged on.
"You always did have a plan," Ben put on his goggles, "Come on, Pichu, we've got some corralling to do!" He cried as he quickly did a motion with his capture styler to bring out Latios.
Summer then heard someone telling her to duck and she did so quickly. She then saw Benga and Ferland get thrown into the bleachers.
"Benga!" Summer ran up to the flame-haired boy with worry. "Are you alright!?"
The flame-haired kid groaned as he felt his head. "I think my hair cushioned the impact. And to think my mum wanted me to cut it." He then laughed weakly before allowing himself to be helped up by Summer.
"What did this to you?" The Ranger looked towards the direction of where Benga came from and her eyes widened in shock.
"Yeah… Team Plasma is pulling out the big guns."
Summer started to sweat. "I think the Storm Trio of Unova more than over qualifies as Big Guns."
Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus were obeying the orders of Team Plasma's ninja squad. They were pushing back anyone who got in their way with blasts of wind, thunderbolts, and even made the earth beneath them open up and try to swallow Pokémon and trainers whole. Even some mega Pokémon from the contestant's side were having trouble fighting the trio.
Gonzap avoided a bolt of thunder thrown at him with a roll, proving he was far more nimble than he appeared.
"Oho? So those are legendaries huh? Well then, I guess I'm glad I kept this from Cipher after all." Gonzap threw a Poké Ball high up in the air where out came out a simple looking Skymory…
A simple looking Skymory that was screaming murder at the top of its lungs with eyes that looked dangerously bloodshot.
Trinity, who somehow was able to follow after the chaos and was participating in helping some civilians escape, looked up to the Pokémon and saw something horrifying. That Skymory's Aura… it was so twisted like something took its soul and forcefully molded it into something so repulsive and malevolent.
Then his pupils locked onto the Landorus. All three legends blasted a force of wave at it. However, a visible black aura wrapped around the steel type and suddenly made it move faster most Pokémon people have already seen and body check the Tornadus into—no—through the stadium walls with little effort.
"What in blazes is that!?" One of the Seven Sages looked on with horror that a random Pokémon was taking on the three legendaries of Unova.
Gonzap smirked since he overheard them. "From my understanding: sciencey, magic drugs and something about Shadows."
"Hmm, if I had to guess, Ein was correct about harnessing the concept of Aura."
The bald leader of Team Snaggem looked up, to see a man cloaked in a large Team Plasma cloak and wearing a mask. The reason he looked up was because he looked to be standing on top of a flying metal contraption.
"It's fascinating on how suppressing a Pokémon's more docile instincts in order bring out such primal power from within, but it feels brutish and not at all elegant." The masked figure mused.
"Hey, metal face, how the heck did you know Ein?" Gonzap asked.
The figure looked down to Gonzap. "He and I… crossed paths once to put it simply."
"You! Help out Team Plasma!" One of the Seven sages, it was getting harder to differentiate them by now, spoke to the man on the flying machine.
"If it's an order from my superiors, I don't believe I can disobey." The figure bowed politely before taking out a Mirror and holding it up in the sky. "Thankfully, I can let the Reveal Glass do the rest."
The ornate artifact shot out three lights towards the Storm Trio, one of the lights was chasing after where the twisted Skymory tackled the wind brother into.
The trio of legends started to change their shape at the light of the mirror.
That was until Mega Salamance came from above and slammed into Landorus mid-transformation and fired a Dragon Pulse right at Thundurus. Team Plasma's Shadow Triad glared as their masks met face to face with Hunter J's visor and quickly the ninjas ordered their own signature Pokémon to attack the infamous mercenary. However, she retreated back high into the sky and left her own paid underlings to handle them.
As if things weren't chaotic already, out of a different side of the wall, the Skymory was thrown by a gust of wind so strong it threw it back out into the battlefield.
Out of the smoke, a creature soared into the skies and unleashed a roar that compelled the wind and everyone to cover their ears and protect their face from how powerful the wind and volume was from the new beast.
Tornadus was no longer in a form that looked like it had a humanoid top half attached to a cloud. It was now more avian and bird like in appearance.
"I may not be a Pokémon expert, but isn't it when legendary Pokémon turn into a form that isn't their most common used one, things go even worse?" Benga spoke out theoretically as he saw Turnadus ascend into the skies and increase the winds all around the arena to the point where hurricanes were starting to form in the distance.
Summer inhaled. This felt like the Oblivia region all over again sans the falling island floating a few thousand feet in the air falling to its doom. (Summer tried very hard not to look up to the cloudy skies and try to see if Anto's misfortune somehow defied logic again and somehow brought some giant mass of land over them that was soon going to fall on them all.)
Still, she tried to see what she could do. "Organize the trainers! We're no good to anyone if we just pick whatever battle we want—"
Benga's eyes widened as he suddenly tackled Summer out of the way where they were.
Ferland and Flow were panicking; in the blast, they lost sight of both trainers because Ferland took Flow away in a different direction to avoid the attack—wait that wasn't a move. Moves don't leave giant metal shells in a smoking crater after their attacks.
The Garchomp looked up and his eyes widened in surprise. It was another version of Hunter J's ship in the sky, the same one back in Opelucid City, but this one had a different paint job on it with graffiti that had art along the lines of: The Team Snaggem Crib, or Scrub This Off! Or Yo Momma!. … basically a lot of non-intellectual forms of spray paint.
"About time! One of you handle the bird!" Gonzap cried out to the ship in the sky.
Meanwhile up on above, Ben panicked as he saw Summer and Benga get hit. "Summer!" He tried to get Latios back down. However, his Pichu pointed to something up in the air in a different direction. He would have ignored the small electric type if he didn't sound so scared and surprised.
Latios was forced to stop as a beam of gold passed by them. Ben looked up to see Hunter J standing on top of her Mega Slamance.
"I had no idea there was a Latios here." She stated as she lifted her gauntlet back at Ben. Even with the Visor on, Ben could tell that she was deeply thinking about selling of this legendary Pokémon. "You seem to be the least protected."
Back down below, Ferland and Flow searched and searched for Summer and Benga, but he was getting more worried as seconds passed and he couldn't find them among the constant battling and attacks that were flying all over the place.
The Garchomp quickly jerked his head, and noticed hand sticking out of some dust, and his vision tunneled towards the hand as he dug the body out as quickly as possible to find both Summer and Benga.
The two humans coughed and groaned since they were covered in dirt.
Ferland picked the two up then hurried to find cover in one of the halls. He placed the two down gently and watched in case any stray attacks came their way.
"Thanks, Ferland." Benga coughed a few more times.
"Tis, looking quite horrible out there, Sir Benga." The pseudo legendary told them that Flow translated.
Summer groaned as well before surveying the situation. "Alright the situation just seems to be getting worse with each passing second."
"Oh my gosh! Miss!? Are you a Pokémon Ranger!?"
Benga and Summer turned down the hall, and the two of them were shocked. There were still some civilians that had not escaped yet.
Summer stood up and walked towards the girl. "Hey, yeah. I'm Summer. My friends and I are here to help." She comforted the girl with a worried look on her face.
"Please, help! My mom sprained her ankle running away, so we've been holed up here." The girl was blonde with a French styled braid, she pointed over to a man kneeling with care towards a sitting woman. Beside them, a Haunter was floating nearby them with a worried look.
"Don't worry. I know some first aid kit. What's your name?"
"It's Caitlin, Caitlin Baker."
For some reason, that last name tickled Summer's brain, but she paid no mind and got to work with the mother.
Benga looked back out towards the fight. He had to admit this fight was getting much, much worse. It looked like whatever new form Tornadus was in made the winds around the battle field almost unbearable. The winds had somehow revived the flying type's brothers back and those two had completed their transformations into different beast like forms as well.
With all three of them, the skies darkened and thunder cackled through the clouds like reverse, deadly fire works while the ground seemed to lose all form of stability.
The cloaked figure, who was battling against Gonzap, looked up at the Unova Trio in the skies. "It is quite amazing how powerful legendary Pokémon can be. Unfortunately it looks like their power might raze this large area to the ground.
Something rather unexpected happened next.
Three attacks shoot towards the Unova Storm Trio. An Ice Beam landed on Landorus; a Thunderbolt struck Tornadus; and a Flamethrower singed Thundrus.
The cloaked Plasma figure looked at where the attacks came from and seemed quite surprised but in a pleasant way. "My, my. I definitely did not see this outcome."
Recovering from the attack, the three Unova legendaries roared with anger at who attacked them. When they turned their glares at their opponents, everyone in the battle field paused to stare at this amazing sight.
"Uhh, Summer!? You might want to see this!" Benga shouted over to the girl as he continued to look on with disbelief at the sky.
Summer went up to her friend before she was once more humbled to know that Anto's ability to make the unexpected happen always seemed to work without fail.
The skies parted and there, opposing the three Unovaian Legends, were the three legendary birds of Kanto: Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno.
"I leave for one day, and find everything in Chaos?!" A loud and familiar voice cried out.
Everyone looked to see right below the three Kanto birds, standing on top of the bleachers were Candela and two other powerful looking trainers.
"Whoa! This place is wild! How come we don't travel more?" A yellow themed young man with blond hair smiled wide as he stood on Candela's left side.
"I must admit, never would I expect over several different parties vying for domination or other personal reasons in the same space with fire power from the likes of both science and Pokémon." An androgynous female with tanned skin and long white hair in blue themed clothing stood towards Candela's right side.
"Guys, focus. We're about to find out which Legendary Trio is the best between Kanto and Unova." Candela motioned her friends as the three Legendary Kanto birds faced the Storm Brothers of Unova.
Ben, after momentarily escaping Hunter J, stared at the stare down between the Kanto and Unova Trios.
"Wait, if all six of them battle here…"
Down below, Summer was starting to panic. "The damage would be even worse than a second ago!"
"Candela, there are a lot of people here." The blonde male pointed out.
"I know, Spark. It's going to be hard to fight at full power. Any ideas, Blanche?" Candela turned towards the blue themed girl.
The only response she got was her friend pointing back towards the sky. "It appears our enemies don't value the same ideas."
In a fit of rage, all three of the Storm Brothers were gathering a dangerous amount of energy.
"Oi! You!" Zinzolin cried out to the masked figure. "Tell them to stop! They'll kill us all down here!"
"Unfortunately, I only gave them a power boost. I believe, the Shadow Triad is in control of them right now and last I saw of them, they were still in combat with some of Hunter J's men and appear to not be nearby." The figure calmly spoke up. This event was truly accumulating data he could not fathom on his own.
"Guys!?" Spark cried out to his friends as in retaliation, their legendary trio started charging their attacks as well.
"We should tell them to stop!" Candela tried to say.
"But if we do, their attack will harm all of us!" Blanche noted.
Back in the Team Snaggem ship, everyone was panicking as they tried their best to raise their shields.
Everyone stopped fighting and started to run away from the six legendaries, even though deep inside they all knew that their combined power was already going to essentially nuke all of them.
Then they exploded…
No… not the legendaries.
The mighty Team Plasma castle exploded at the top floor, distracting the legendaries form their destructive power and cancelling their bloodlust for a moment.
Out of the smoke, six figures fell down before throwing out Pokémon of their own to save them from the fall.
It was the missing Unova Gym Leaders.
Then, out of the smoke flew the two major Legends of Unova: Zekrom and Reshiram with N and Black ridding on their respective dragon.
"Anto!" Black cried out.
It was then something shot out of the roof like a geyser, and everyone swore they heard the sound of a teenage boy screaming in their minds. Rocks started falling down, before the all suddenly stopped in the dead center of entire battlefield while also still being in the air for everyone to see.
On top of the rocks, a young boy was carrying a much larger man over his shoulder with relative difficulty before accidentally dropping his body on the rock he was on—he also flinched when he though he heard the sound of bones snapping.
Before he could tend to the man in a full body cast, the boy's Pokémon, who were all around him flying on different debris held up by a psychic Pokémon, motioned the boy to look around them.
For the first time, the amber eyed, black haired boy finally saw everything around him: the legendaries, the ship, the teams, the mercenaries, the trainers, and people he didn't even see before.
So, he did the only thing he could do in a situation where he had captured the attention of everyone within a mile radius.
"Whoa? What the heck happened out here?"
Believe it or not, this was how a strange young boy saved hundreds of lives by simply distracting and confusing people to no end.
Who knew being bizarre could save the world?
{Author Notes}
Excuse me if I sound vain, but I do love how I made this story. Even writing it brings a smile on my face and makes me feel nice inside.
The reason I'm feeling like this is because of the whole interaction of how the pre final battle with N was turning out.
Also, after I wrote the first draft, I realized that this chapter is the same style as Chapters 3-4 where two events are going on at the same time, but the next chapter will tie into how Anto made another strange entrance.
I've read a few Unova based fics, and it's always around the same thing: N and the other character have this talk about ethics and ideals and all that stuff. It feels like it copies the game too much.
But instead of that, Anto literally brings out a side of N that doesn't come up, or that people don't even think off.
Anto brings out N's annoyed side out. Anto… makes N actually more human and more than just some PETA spokesman.
Also, we get to see Ghetsis in a full body cast! Whooo! See, my fic has even handicapped people as characters here! (*Look how diverse my cast is—*)
Thank you all for supporting this fic so much! I really am glad that so many of you like this series. It's not my most popular, but I can proudly say that this is my favorite story to write.
I'm very very excited for the upcoming chapters because it's almost the end of the Unova Saga! Whoo! I hope you're excited as I am because this Rabbit hole has NO signs of stopping!
