ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 35 - Battle of the broken
Disclaimer: Still don't own Pokemon :/
Dawn looked out the window of the airplane with heavy eyes. She had the guilt of not telling the others of what happened that night.
She had recovered well from her injuries but suffered from severe backpain to the point where she was told she may be out of contests for around a year meaning she would have no chance of defending her title.
Barry and Kenny was asleep on the plane to the long trip to Kalos.
Despite her age, it was tradition to get married at a young age as Serena and the prince of Kalos were getting married as the three of them were invited.
They heard Serena had also been in hospital as she was attacked by an unknown infiltrator, breaking her wrist and putting her Pokemon, Braixen into intensive care.
Everyone else was already there except for them.
She sighed and tried to get some rest as they still had 7 hours left on the flight.
"Mighte!" A Mightyena yelped as it hit into a tree.
"Grn!" Greninja growled as the Hoenn native run away.
Both of the Zygarde cores notice he had gotten a lot more aggressive since they learned of what happened to Ash.
"You didn't need to attack him." Squishy told the frog who glared at the small green Pokemon.
Squishy gave a sad look.
"We are trying to find him but covering over 10 Billion cells across the world is harder than it seems." Z2 told Greninja who slashed a rock in half with a powerful cut.
"Try again." Greninja told the duo.
Z2 and Squishy looked at each other and closed their eyes and glowed a bright green as they both moved from individual cells across the globe.
Z2 was scanning Johto while Squishy pushed his luck and tried Kalos again.
He looked at a faraway lake to one of the many cities in Kalos to an underground structure beneath a mountain to a lush jung-
As Squishy got the to cell in the jungle, something attacked the defenceless cell as Squishy screamed in pain. Z2 broke out of the scan and Greninja rushed over.
"Brother!" Z2 shouted as Squishy moaned.
"O-one of the cel-cells was attacked…" Squishy explained as Z2 and Greninja gave shocked looks.
"I-Impossible! Only we and Greninja can see them! They are only visible to others when we transform into 10 percent, 50 percent or our perfect form!" Z2 said worried at what was going on.
"I don't like this… I don't like this one bit." Squishy said as Greninja looked up at the sky and clutched his fists.
"I can't believe you are getting married ahhh!" Bonnie squealed in excitement to Serena.
Serena smiled. She had her wrist heavily wrapped as she got the cast removed for her special day tomorrow.
"Yeah. Any more info on who attacked you?" Clemont asked.
Serena gave a sad look as she signalled that she didn't know.
But she damn well knew who did it and was terrified out of her mind. Greninja and Zygarde could be watching right now as they speak.
"No clue. Marco is looking in to it." Serena lied.
"Oh yeah? Where is Marco by the way?" Clemont asked.
"He is welcoming the survivors of the base attack. They will be guests of honour at the wedding tomorrow. So far, we only have the three of them but if they are alive, surely there is more?" Serena explained.
The royal family and many important people in the Kalos government as the jet landed with Jack, Jargai and Duncan with the three looking like they had been to hell and back.
Jack's father stepped forward.
"Son…" he responded as he went into a hug.
"Don't touch me." Jack said coldly. "What is a UB 06: Growth?"
His father and president looked at each other.
"A UB what?" Pierre, the president of Kalos said as everyone looked at him.
"Nah. Nah! Don't play dumb! I know what I saw!" Jack hissed.
"Solider, I suggest you calm down." Marco told Jack who just glared.
"We are going to war with the wrong nation. No human attacked the base. No Pokemon attacked the base. A monster is what wreaked it and we have proof." Jack told them as he revealed the damaged phone. "On here is a picture of the monster that stole the files and killed virtually everyone! Go check it out and then pull out of the war you are about to start!"
"Jack just calm down." Duncan suggested.
"Yeah. We are safe now." Jargai told him.
Jack glared at everyone.
"When is this stupid wedding?" he moaned.
"So, you have been told?" his father, Samuel asked.
"We don't have much of choice now do we?" Jack responded.
"I suggest you clean up the attitude and go and clean up yourself. That's an order solider." Samuel told his son as he handed him the phone with the three soldiers being escorted into the royal building.
Greninja and the Zygarde cores in their 10 percent form arrived at the scene of where the Zygarde cell was attacked.
"Oh my…" Squishy said as they observed the destroyed area.
Trees were snapped, Pokemon were ripped in half, holes came out of the ground with one large one in the middle of the destroyed place.
Greninja walked over to some of the dead Pokemon and found a bit of ripped off vine.
"What's that?" Z2 questioned.
Greninja shrugged his shoulders as the trio kept wary of their surroundings.
All the trees rattled as the three got ready to attack as it turned out to be flying type Pokemon leaving the area.
"I don't like the looks of that…" Squishy said worried.
Greninja climbed up a tree and saw all the flying type mons going in the direction of Lumiose city.
"They are all heading Lumiose way…" Greninja told the Zygardes
"Why though?" Z2 said as they heard a cry of help from Squishy.
"Help! Help!"
Z2 and Greninja rushed over to find Squishy with an injured but alive Kangaskhan. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for her child who she was weeping about.
Greninja formed a water shuriken and collapsed it over a wound to clean it slightly as the poor grieving mother cried in pain and sorrow.
"What happened?" Z2 asked softly.
"Kangaa… Gaks!"
She explained that a creature made of plants appears and just attacked with no reason.
"A Pokemon made of plants?" Squishy said as the Kangaskhan nodded. None of them had ever heard of such a thing.
"I say we camp here for the night and wait it out just in case. Also help with other survivors." Z2 suggested with the other two nodding.
Greninja took a closer look at Kangaskhan's wounds and gave a shocked look.
"Shit. She needs proper medical treatment otherwise she is going to bleed out." Greninja swore.
Z2 sighed.
"I can make the trip to Lumiose. Keep an eye on her condition Squishy. Z2, you look for anymore survivors."
"Right."
"Got it."
The trio split up as they went to work to try and restore some order.
Dawn, Barry and Kenny had arrived in Sinnoh. They had heard Paul was invited as well but he travelled separately. The three of them were greeted by two men in fancy royal clothing.
"Ah! You must be Ms. Dawn, Master Barry and Master Kenny!" he said in a rather posh accent.
"Uh yeah?" Barry responded.
"Me and my associated have been tasked to pick you up and deliver you to the royal palace for Prince Marco and Lady Serena's wedding." He explained as the other went to get their luggage.
The three were escorted to a fancy limo as they were taken away to where they were staying the night.
It was a short ride but the place was enormous.
"Woah! I don't think even Sinnoh has a building this big!" Kenny said out loud.
Dawn looked out the window of the limo and noticed a hole in the wall around about the fourth floor which had been patched by some wooden planks.
The limo stopped as the three got out and we escorted inside with the doors opening for them.
"Dawn!" May said on the other side of the door as she rushed over to hug the Sinnoh native, who moaned in pain from the hug. "Oh! Sorry… The back, that's right!"
Before she rushed over to Dawn, May was talking to Misty and Serena as Kenny and Barry went over to Brock, Max and Cilan.
"Oh my god! You have recovered so well Dawn!" Misty told the blue haired girl who tried to smile but just brought back the countless nightmares of what happened that night.
"Thanks Misty. Uh, Congratulations Serena on the marriage." Dawn said nervously.
"Thanks Dawn." Serena said as she gave a softer hug to the girl which didn't hurt as much.
Elsewhere, Jack was in a room alone as he changed in to some casual clothing with Larvitar on a bed, ripping a pillow apart.
There was a knock at his door as he sighed in pure annoyance.
"What." He blurted out as his father walked in.
"Jack. I want to talk about the phone." He said.
Jack spun around and walked over.
"I know I was right! Now what is UB-06: Growth!?" Jack pleaded.
"Son, the SD card on the phone is unreadable." His father told him.
"What… No! No, no, no! There has to be a way!" Jack cried.
"There is a crack going right down the middle. Without this proof you say it had, we will not pull out of the war." Samuel told him as Jack went over to wall and punched. "Jack, that's enough."
"You are going to regret what you are doing!" Jack hissed. His father realised there was no rationalizing with him and quickly left.
"Tar?" Larvitar said confused.
"It's fine buddy. I'll get this sorted. He knows something and I'm going to find out what."
It was a few hours later as it was getting dark. The caterers of the palace had made an all you can buffet as a sort of a pre-party. Alcohol was available as was wine but water and juice was there for those that didn't want to drink.
Those invited were all of Serena's friends, many members of the Kalos government and the gym leaders, Elite four and Diantha as well. Professor Sycamore was here as was Professor Oak, Alain and Mairin. Steven Stone was invited but sadly could not make it.
Duncan was talking to Jargai as he spear tackled to the ground by his younger sister, Korrina who was crying tears of happiness that he was alive.
Everyone was talking as Dawn sat down in alone with some juice as she was fond of the taste of alcohol or wine. She was wearing a dress she had been dying to wear which was a dark blue that showed a little cleavage but not a lot compared to others. She had her Pokemon out who were socialising with the others except Piplup, who chose to stay with his trainer.
Jack walked in with Larvitar who stayed close by his side, not wanting to meet other Pokemon. Jack personally didn't want to socialise as he saw Duncan with his sister. He wasn't hungry either. He just wanted to sit down and be left alone.
He saw a chair free but it was next to a girl with a Piplup but it was better than standing up for the whole night. He walked over towards her to sit down.
"You mind if I sit down?" Jack asked Dawn.
"Go for it. You're one of the base survivors, aren't you?" Dawn asked.
Jack sighed.
"Yep. Yeah, I am. Names Jack." He said introducing himself.
"Dawn. What's it like being a solider?" she asked.
"Tiring. And you?" Jack said.
"Coordinator. World champion."
Piplup said hello to Larvitar who was still a little shy.
Jack noticed she had pillow behind her back. Two in fact.
"What's does the world champion coordinator need pillows behind her back for?" Jack questioned.
"Just backpain. Had a little incident about a month ago." Dawn explained.
"What kind of accident?" he asked, growing more into the story.
"Oh, trust me… You wouldn't believe me. My own mother didn't so I wouldn't suspect you would." Dawn explained.
"Try me." Jack told her.
Dawn sighed.
"I don't know what it was but I saw an old friend who wasn't real and this big black thing with no eyes attacked me. It didn't have a normal cry but a metallic sound to i-"Dawn explained.
Jack got in front of her.
"Did you say metallic cry?" he asked desperately.
"Uh… Yeah?"
"SHIT!" Jack cursed as he realised there was more of these 'UB's' and stormed off.
"Attention everyone! I would just like to thank you for attending tonight and tomorrow will a day full of happiness and wonder! The official wedding will be in a private zone that only you lot will have available too! To the ever-growing future!" Marco announced.
"To the ever-growing future!" the crowd said. Dawn didn't bother as she was weirded out by what just happened.
Across the room was a purple haired boy who was staring at Dawn. He turned and took another beer and opened it.
Elsewhere in the city, Greninja had broken into a poke mart and taken as much medication as he could carry. He climbed up a building and proceeded to jump from building to building to get back to Z2 and Squishy.
About an hour later, Dawn decided to take a walk. Last time she did this, the attack happened but she was going to be extra careful.
She walked for about 10 minutes as she heard footsteps behind her.
Dawn turned around to find Paul following her.
"Oh. Hi Paul." She muttered not wanting to be near him.
"Oh (hic) Dawn…" he stuttered as he walked towards her. "Did I ever tell you how hot you were?"
"Um… Thanks?" she responded as Paul placed his hand on her shoulder. "Um… Paul, what are you doing?"
"I just wanna (hic) kiss." He said as he crashed his lips sloppily on Dawns with his breathe stinking of Alcohol. Dawn pushed him away as she felt like throwing up.
"Paul (cough), how much have you drunken tonight?" Dawn asked as Paul walked towards her again.
"Only a few…" he stuttered as he hugged her. "I'm sorry (hic) I ripped your photo of Ketchum." He apologised.
Dawn didn't know what to say until she felt a hand under her dress and near her left breast. She stiffened up and slapped Paul across the face.
"PAUL! What the hell!" Dawn said flustered.
Paul didn't take the slap lightly as he got up and pushed Dawn to the ground as she cried in pain thanks to her back. She got up and ran down an alleyway without thinking to find it was a dead end.
"Come on Dawn! Don't be like this!" Paul stuttered.
"HELP!" Dawn screamed.
Greninja was jumping across the building as he heard the cry for help. He looked down to find a blue haired girl corned by a drunk boy that looked a little order. He groaned and placed down the meds. He jumped off the building and landed in front of Dawn. She looked at who was now in front of her as it was a Pokemon she didn't recognise. He formed a ball of water and blasted the boy with it as he was knocked out cold. Greninja turned around and looked at Dawn as he jumped up to scoop up the medication.
Dawn quickly rushed back to the palace with no hesitation. She was unsure on what to say that anyone after what Paul had just done. When passing him, he just groaned.
Greninja eventually got back to the forest in the early hours of the morning as he placed down the medication as both Zygarde cores approached him.
"About time." Z2 said.
"I had a little distraction…" Greninja complained.
Greninja went around and gave all the Pokemon that the two cores got, medication. The effects would be slow but will work. All they could do now is rest.
(The next day…)
Greninja was the first awake as he meditated on top of rock as the sun rose.
Z2 and Squishy can woke up not to long after.
"Morning…" Squishy yawned.
Z2 looked around to see all the injured Pokemon sleeping peacefully.
"At least they seem to be fine…" Z2 exclaimed as Greninja continued to meditate.
Squishy closed his eyes and proceeded to scan but quickly felt a strange disturbance going towards Lumiose city.
"Something is on the move…" He said concerned as Greninja broke out of his meditation.
"Gek." Greninja muttered.
The Zygarde cores nodded and transformed into their 10 percent form to run as the trio headed for Lumiose or at least the source of the disturbance.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Planet, Ash, Hau and Lillie waved good bye to Kukui, Molayne and Zach. Kukui had to head back to Melemele while Molayne needed to be back at the observatory. Zach wanted to explore for a bit before going to the next trial as he had an issue with fairy types.
It had fined up rather nice and the three decided to let their Pokemon out. Decidueye had the fun job of monitoring Torracat.
Ash was talking to both his companions as they travelled to the next trial.
Ash stopped however and was struck with a mild headache.
"Holy shit…" Ash moaned as he clutched his head.
"What's up Ash?" Lillie asked.
"Head just started hurting. Probably nothing." Ash insisted as they continued on.
Serena was now in her wedding dress as she had some make-up being applied to her face. Aria, the current Kalos show Queen was one of her bridesmaid alongside with Shauna and one of Marco's younger cousins. Bonnie was the flower girl while the others were going to be guests. No media were allowed. Any form of media that was found would be arrested on the spot.
"This is it Serena! Oh my god!" Shauna squealed like a little girl.
Serena smiled.
"Can't believe it huh." Serena muttered.
"What's wrong?" Aria asked.
"Just… It's really happening heheh." Serena laughed.
"I'm sure Ash would be so proud of you." Shauna exclaimed.
Serena gave a sad look when she brought up his name seeming she knew he was alive thanks to his psychotic frog.
"Yeah… I do miss him." She lied.
It was a about an hour later as all the guests were now seated. The wedding was surrounded by trees with a large lake behind them. Grace, Serena's mother was in front in a pink dress and next to was Marco's parents, the current King and Queen of Kalos.
All the guests were scattered around with base survivors at the back rows.
Everyone took their place as Serena walked in with her father as she stood opposite of Marco as the priest who was hired stood in between the two. The young couple gave small little compliments to each other.
"Dearly beloved! We gather here today for a very special and historic day in the royal history of Kalos!" the priest announced. "I welcome those that have travelled from far and those that have travelled from near! Welcome, welcome, welcome! Before you, stands the future King and the future Queen of Kalos in Prince Marco LaBlanc II and lady Serena Yvonne."
Serena gave a smile to Marco as she clutched on to the flowers she had.
"Prince Marco. Your vows to your future wife and Queen!" The priest asked.
"Serena Deces Yvonne. Since the day I saw you, I haven't thought about anyone else to spend the rest of my life with. I promise to protect you and love you with all my might, even down to my final moments. To start a family and to create a legacy of what we can do to our region of Kalos. I take you, to be my beloved wife, in health and sickness and to love and cherish; from this day till death do us part." Marco told his soon to be wife.
Marco's mother cried at the sight of her oldest getting married.
"Lady Serena. Your vows to your future husband and King!" the priest told Serena.
"Marco Metir LaBlanc the second. At the loss of my beloved friend, Ash Ketchum, you were there to comfort and support me. The moment you talked to me, I knew who I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. I will always be by your side to support you when you need it and when you want it. I will aim to be the perfect wife and the perfect mother for when the time comes and there is no other place I would want to be other than be by your side. I take you, to be my beloved husband, in health and sickness and to love and cherish; from this day till death do us part." Serena told Marco as he smiled.
Likewise, Grace this time was tearing up.
"You may exchange the rings with another." The priest told the duo as they did as told and exchanged the ring with one another.
"And with that! I now pronounce you man and w-" the priest started till the ground began to shack slightly.
"What was that?" was the common question that was being asked around.
Jack looked at Duncan and Jargai.
"That felt too familiar…" Jack muttered with a concerned look.
"You're nuts…" Duncan hissed, not liking where this was going.
"Maybe it wanted us to escape…" Jack said as he began to shack.
"Everyone! Everyone! Calm down! We must proceed o- "the priest started again till a vine wrapped around his chest and flung him into the lake as a monster appeared out of the ground.
The monster was out of plants and had vines/roots coming out of the base. It had a female like body with flax like hair with its body being covered in thorns. Two bell like flowers dangled out of the ground.
Guests and staff panicked and tried to run away. The government officials looked in awe of this beast.
"GHORRR-BTTZZZZ!"
Dawn while running, heard the cry and froze as this thing had the same metallic ring as her attacker.
Trainers sent out their Pokemon which included some of Ash's old mons with the likes of Sceptile, Infernape, Krokodile, Snorlax and many more.
The beast glared the Pokemon as they tried to fire an attack at it but the onslaught of attacks was blocked by a wall of vines.
The beast roared again as it slammed the vines into the ground as a powerful stone edge, slamming into nearly all the Pokemon but caused a fatal explosion, knocking plenty of them out and injuring more in the process.
Serena was crying with Marco and their groomsmen and bridemaids as the monster looked around for something.
Samuel was running away but stopped as he noticed his son just standing there.
"JACK! RUN!" he yelled.
Jack just merely turned around.
"Believe me now?" Jack muttered as he accepted his fate with a vine being flung right at him. He turned around and closed his eyes only to hear a slicing sound.
Once he opened his eyes, He found a powerful looking Greninja standing in front of him. Greninja looked around as his blood boiled at the sight of all those that betrayed Ash.
"You can slaughter them all later Greninja." Z2 told the frog.
"GRENINJA!" Bonnie and Shauna said in sync. Bonnie then realised something. "SQUISHY!"
Greninja turned to Jack as he nodded his head to the side as Jack ran over the trees where everyone else was as the only way passed was being blocked off by the monster.
Both Zygardes growled heavily as it was now a Mexican standoff between them.
The beast made the first move as it fired a powerful hyper beam at the trio but all dodge it with relative ease. Greninja threw some water shuriken's at the creature. He saw it was made of grass but every attack was worth a shot.
A water tornado formed around the water dark type as turned into Ash-Greninja.
"That thing looks like Ash!" Misty claimed as everyone watched intensely.
Both Zygardes fired a dragon pulse at the creature, which were quickly sliced in half thanks to a dual power whip. It formed a ball of leaves and flung it at the ground as a large leaf tornado formed.
Greninja created two blades and slammed them in to the ground to stand his ground. Z2 and Squishy rushed over to get some form of coverage. Z2 got behind a tree in time but Squishy tripped on a root as he sucked into the tornado, being flung out and into a rock. He moaned in pain and barely managed to get up. The beast got some orange aura around it after that.
"Blast burn!" Alain commanded Charizard.
"Moonblast Gardevoir!" Diantha also shouted.
"Garchomp, use dragon rage!" Sycamore commanded his Garchomp.
The three attacks were used as they collided into the beast but again was blocked by the vines as it charged up a powerful solarbeam and blasted it at the trio. To shocking results, all three were knocked out despite Charizard having resistance.
The three trainers were left in shock as the beast glared at them but fortunately, the beast received a night slash to the chest from Greninja.
It looked at the frog in anger and fired a bullet seed at him.
Greninja responded back with protect, but despite the protect, bullets were still getting through as Greninja formed a cross over his arms to shield himself as he grunted in pain from the belting of seeds.
Elsewhere, Ash was scratching at his arms furiously.
"Are you sure you are ok?" Lillie asked with concern.
"I'm fine. Just itchy." Ash told her as he began to wobble.
Z2 charged up a thousand-arrow attack as he fired them straight at it. The beast slammed its vines into the ground as a wall of stone formed with the arrows colliding with them. The stones fell apart as it picked them up with its vines and flung them at Z2 like ancient power. But it all landed like rock tomb, trapping Z2 inside as he was flung out thanks to a vine coming from underground as he landed on his back. Both him and Squishy glowed a light green as they returned to their core form. Again, the beast received an orange flare.
Greninja looked back at his fallen comrades as he growled at the beast. He grabbed the water shuriken on his back and flung it at the beast.
But it responded with a solarbeam as the blast broke right through the water shuriken and slammed right into Greninja's chest as he fell on his back. He just groaned groggily as the beast fired a leech seed over him as the vines latched him down to the ground.
It roared as it used stone edge, aimed right at the frog. Greninja couldn't free himself as the stone edge piercing right into his back, flinging him up. One of the many roots glowed bright green as it used power whip and whipped Greninja's motionless body into the ground, creating a crater in the process. His body glowed a light blue as he turned back to himself.
Small green vines wrapped around Greninja as he was brought up to the beast's level as it charged a hyperbeam up, ready to finish Greninja off once and for all. There was cries all around, ever from Serena despite what happened between the duo. Both Zygarde cores watched in shock as everything went slow for Greninja.
I… I've failed…." Greninja thought to himself as he lost consciousness.
Ash was having trouble breathing as he began to get light headed.
"Lillie…" Ash muttered.
"Ash? ASH!" she screamed as Ash collapsed to the ground unconscious as everyone gather around him to ensure he was alright.
Ash woke up in the room where the ground was wet. There were no surroundings except for a blue wall that appeared to be made of water.
On the other side of the wall, Greninja woke up as well as he scanned his surroundings. He looked down on the water below him and saw images being projected in the water. It was of a blonde girl and a dark-skinned male plus many Pokemon looking over the person.
Ash however, saw the beast made of plants and could see his former friends on the side line in fear.
The Kanto native walked up to the wall of water and placed his hand on it as it rippled slightly. Greninja saw this and ran over as he touched the wall back. The duo both tried to punch it but was now as hard as a brick wall.
"Hello?" Ash called out but too Greninja, it was just mere bubbles.
Greninja tried to fire a few water shuriken's at it but it was no use.
They both sighed and slid down the wall on their backs, right behind each other without knowing it.
Ash watched the being charging up the hyperbeam while Greninja watched these strangers panic as they shook whoever it was.
Suddenly, there was a new image that both of them saw.
It was a silhouette of a human and a Pokemon. The human had just caught the Pokemon as it was now on his shoulder as the pair watched without blinking. It moved on from evolution to evolution till the final one where it was the pair shaking hands but ultimately turning into a hug as the human faded away from the Pokemon where two hound like beings now stood with it as they faded away.
"It can't be…" Ash muttered, tearing up slightly.
He gave a determined look and punched at the wall again, but this time a small chip appeared. Greninja likewise began to attack the wall as damage began to appear.
Thought it hurt Ash's knuckles to do this, but if it was who he thinks it is.
Cracks began to appear as they got bigger and bigger.
"The ultimate bond! You were always by myside! GRENINJA!" Ash shouted.
The pair slammed at the wall again but this time, punched right through as everything went white.
They both regained consciousness as the beast fired the hyperbeam at Greninja, but he used his whole-body weight to fling himself on to his back as the hyperbeam skimmed the vines that were trapping him, letting him free out of the trap.
(Play XYZ Japanese opening here.)
A deep blue ring appeared Greninja as the usual water tornado formed around him but once out, he was different.
His body was a slightly lighter blue with the cream yellow parts on his chest being on stripes. Like when he was a Froakie and a Frogadier, he now had two frubble like structures around his arms and a belt like one around his waist with two glowing blades on each side. The shuriken on his back was a dark blue now. It appeared he lost all form of damage he once took.
Both Ash and Greninja opened their eyes at the same time.
"Greninja…" Ash muttered as he saw everything his fellow Kalos mon could see as Lillie and Hau looked at him confused.
"Water Shuriken!" Ash commanded.
"Geecko!" the frog shouted as he formed the shuriken's and flung about 3 dozen of them at the beast. It used the vines to protect itself, but unlike the previous attacks, this time the shuriken's made deep cuts into the vines it checked it out.
However, the beast let its guard down with Greninja charging at it with his fist glowing white. The frog jumped up and slammed his fist into the side of head, did a flip and then slammed his foot into its face, with the beast crashing to the ground.
Everyone gasped as the beast actually took damage
The beast glared at Greninja as it fired a leaf storm right into Greninja.
Ash clutched on his stomach and shouted in pain as Lillie wanted to run over and help but Hau grabbed her arm and shook his head. As both he and Greninja grunted in pain with the storm taking Greninja up into the air and eventually exploded on him with his body falling out of the cloud of ash.
The beast's vines homed in on Greninja as he opened his eyes. He grabbed the two blades on this frubble belt and sliced through one which carried him down slightly till some of the other vines moved towards him. He removed the blade and began to run on another vine as he jumped up and threw the two blades right at the beast with them landing right in the chest of humanoid part of the creature. The blades began to grow cold as they exploded, freezing the creature on the spot. The vines went limp as Greninja landed on the ground.
The ice began to shatter as the it eventually cracked open with the beast roaring in anger.
"I don't understand… The same thing destroyed an entire army base yet it is on par with a weird Greninja!" Jack claimed as two titans glared at one another, waiting for the next move.
The bell flower part of the beast started to form a hyperbeam but Greninja scooped up some of his frubbles and threw it on the opening of the flower. It was too later for the beast to pull out of the attack as the flower began to swell up with it bursting. The beast cried in pain as it looked at its destroyed flower.
"Smokescreen! Then follow with double team!" Ash commanded.
Greninja formed a black ball and released it with the area quickly getting covered in smoke. Everyone heard Greninja multiply as the smoke cleared away, leaving the beast surrounded by the clones of Greninja.
It roared with all the vines glowing bright green with it spinning around, destroying the water clones but failing to hit the real Greninja.
"What was the purpose in that?" Max blurted out arrogantly.
"Maybe if you shut up and watch you might find out!" Z2 hissed.
The water from the clones flowed up and wrap itself around the vines, bundling three together and locking them in water. The beast tried to the break the water lock but to unveil.
A green ball formed from the other bell flower as it charged up a solarbeam.
"Stand your ground and wait for the attack!" Ash shouted out to Greninja who nodded in response.
"It looks like if he is being told what to do…" May claimed as discussion on what was occurring going on. Squishy watched Greninja's movement without blinking.
It fired the solarbeam right at Greninja.
"Block it!"
Greninja slammed the larger water shuriken down into the ground as a shield with the beam splitting off in different directions upon contact.
"Fling it down the middle, roll out as soon as possible!"
Greninja rolled out of the way and flung the shuriken down the middle of the beam as it sliced the flower right off.
The beast still couldn't free itself from the water that wrapped its vines so it used stone edge in the ground with the pillars of stone piercing out of the ground right at Greninja.
But this time, Greninja used a mere night slash and sliced right through the stones.
Growing at Greninja, it tried to attack its vines being whipping at Greninja.
"We have to help out!" Barry shouted.
"NO! This is Greninja's fight!" Z2 hissed
"It's clear to say that thing is a grass type so how come that leaf storm didn't finish Greninja? We can't let that chance happen again!" Brock questioned.
"Because he is fighting for a reason." Squishy announced.
"A reason?" Serena muttered.
"I've watched him… He fights with the determination of a fading light. A hope only he holds on too…" Squishy said in riddle.
"What the hell does that mean?" Marco shouted with impatience.
Greninja jumped around avoiding the vines. But over in Alola, Ash was making movements as well with Lillie, Hau and their Pokemon watching in awe and confusion.
"I never expected his capabilities to reach this level of power so fast. With the knowledge at first of his deceased trainer, anger and guilt filled him, blaming himself for the loss and wanting the world to burn. He turned his anger on to others. The form of Ash-Greninja declined and weakened. But on the verge of death, they made somehow contact!" Squishy explained.
"Made contact with what!?" Dawn asked with a grin on her face, on the verge of tears.
The beast roared loudly, finally breaking out water that wrapped its vines as they retracted back down underground and appeared surrounding Greninja, about to dive in and crush him to death.
"A perfect connection! With ASH!" Squishy announced.
"GRENINJA! Night slash!" Ash said with a grin.
Greninja's eyes gleamed as the vines constricted around Greninja. A little sparkle occurred as every vine was chopped up into had size pieces with Greninja and attacking stance, having the blades in his hands glow black.
Ash looked down on his Z-ring and placed the waterium-Z in it, unsure if this was going to work.
"I don't know if this will work… But worth a shot! IKUZE!"
"GEECKO!" Greninja responded.
Ash did the dance as did Greninja as a blue aura formed around Greninja with everyone including the beast and both Zygardes, being left very confused with the beast groaning in pain.
"OK… Uh. That's new…" Z2 claimed.
"HYDRO VORTEX!" the duo said in sync with Greninja following with a loud roar as the water in the lake behind them formed a water like tornado around the beast, ripping it out of the ground. Greninja jumped in and attacked it every possible chance.
"GRENINJA! Jump out with aqua jet!" Ash called out.
Greninja zoomed off into the sky and twirled around.
"MEGA SHURIKEN!" Ash roared as he turned his hat around.
Greninja pulled the giant shuriken off his back as it absorbs the water from the Z-move with it growing size massively as it ejected storm clouds off it. Greninja twirled it around before flinging at the beast. It's eyes just widened as did everyone else. The beast tried to muster an attack in time by firing a weak hyperbeam.
The mega shuriken was too strong and sliced right through the beam and sliced right through the beast. Upon hitting the ground, the shuriken exploded with water as everyone got soaked. Greninja landed and looked at what he had done. Both his vision and Ash's vision began to fade to white as they both collapsed.
"ASH!" Lillie and Hau yelled.
"GRENINJA!" Both Zygarde cores yelled as they turned to their 10 percent form.
Serena quickly turned to Marco.
"Those three are the ones that attacked me! IT WAS THEM!" Serena hissed.
"Squishy and Greninja would never do such a thing! Right squishy?" Bonnie argued.
Squishy just looked at Bonnie and turned with no response but with a nasty glare and rushed over to Greninja, leaving the girl with a conflicted look. The frog was awake but very weak and power-drained.
"Let's get to the bottom of this…" Z2 told them both as a green shield formed around the trio and the beast. It was still alive as it tried to regrow itself.
"Do you understand me?" Z2 asked as the beast turned to Z2, Squishy and Greninja.
"Heh…"
The three looked at each and turned back.
"What are you?" Squishy asked this time.
"Your human government calls us 'Ultra Beasts'…" the creature explained.
"Why are you telling us this?"
"I must respect when a win is a win… Though you won, you have faults in your fighting style that will one day haunt you…"
"Gren…"
"We have been here for 100's of thousands of years…"
"What purpose?"
"I don't know…"
"Greninja bet you so we can bet anyone else!" Squishy claimed on to be laughed out.
"I am merely just a scout… Attack if I have too… You have seen nothing yet…"
Greninja walked over and stabbed the ultra-beast in the side of the neck as it dissolved into the ground.
"Let's go..." Z2 suggested as they fled while the shield was fading away. All the humans and their Pokemon stood there as the trio and the beast were gone.
Upon that police, the fire department and medical crew were rushing to the scene as they saw the destroyed wedding sight.
Jack approached his father with a glare and stormed off.
Grace approached her daughter.
"Serena! I thought you said Ash died in the attack on Pallet town!?" Grace demanded. "I want an explanation now!"
Serena gave an awkward look but thankfully Marco intervened.
"It's all but possible he survived! Meaning we could still find him! Isn't this great Serena?" Marco asked the girl.
Serena knew along with everyone else, they were digging themselves into a deeper hole.
A few hours later, Greninja was charged up fully again as he and the Zygardes watched the sunset.
"I don't like this one bit…" Z2 said as they watched the sky
"Gren."
"On the positivise though… Due to the connection with Ash, we have found his whereabouts!" Squishy announced Greninja turned to him rapidly. "He is a region known as Alola. Literally on the other side of the world too us. How you made the connection with him is beyond me but… It worked."
"We just have to find a way to Alola." Z2 claimed.
"Ninja." Greninja told them both to enjoy the sunset while they can before they have to fight again.
Author's note: Long chapter but was super motivated and super hyped to write this as this has been one of the very first chapter ideas I came up with when making the story.
So doing some more looking into the USUM trailer, there is a VERY interesting addition to the trailer of a pokemon that is very small and very dangerous. Won't spoil it just in case. I also stand by the theory of Necrozma becoming Dragon Psychic thanks to the eyes on the box arts fitting near perfect on the dragon head on its chest.
So the traitors now know Ash is alive but not where he is but Greninja does though.
UB-06: Growth was defeated but will be back. And before anyone question anime logic with it taking so much damage from water moves, secondary typing.
SO the Eevee poll is closed now.
Vaporeon got ZERO VOTES. Jolteon got 2. Espeon got 5. Leafeon got 7 and Glaceon got 8.
Flareon, Umbreon and Slyveon were the top three and the winning evolution will be revealed soon (most likely next chapter lmao).
Overall, 62 people votes so thank you very much. Eevee's evolution was in your guys hands and its been decided.
QUESTIONS:
Will Ash get any legendary Pokémon? Will Ash's Kalos Pokémon comeback? What is your upload schedule?
Unlikely but not out of the question. Eventually and when I can be bothered to drag myself to my laptop to type.
also you mentioned how Nebby is Lillie's Pokemon but did she catch Nebby in a pokeball yet?
I mean no, Nebby isn't in a poke ball, but just saying its Lillies is the easy way to write it imo.
Will Lillie feature in trial battles or what?
No.
And when will there be more ultra beast action?
Just happened.
When will Dawn be featuring again ( even though I probably hate her for what she has done to Ash)?
Right now.
And will Jack North and Ash work together to capture all ultra beasts?
Shh ;)
I don't understand why everyone are making fics of Ash's friends and family betraying him. Of everything i know about Pokemon it makes absolute zero sense.
That's the point of having an imagination. TO imagine the possibilities of what could be. Of course this betrayal concept would never happen in the anime, but on here anything can happen.
So its 10 to 5 in the morning but a Saturday hooray (New Zealand times...). So till next time. Review, Suggest or PM me! Spectre out!
