ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 41 - Po town siege.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
Ash paced around the room, waiting for his Pokemon to be fully healed. He had the concern of Hau being in a state of shock he had never seen him like before but worse of all, Lillie was kidnapped by Team Skull.
He just wanted to hurt something or someone…
That something or that someone was lining up to be Guzma…
Ash walked to where Lillie apparently last was before coming out and quickly noticed some of her stuff on the bed where she was going to sleep. He knew he shouldn't be nosey but he couldn't help.
A few make-up stuff, some food for her and her Pokemon and…
Ash stopped as he saw what appeared to be a card that was addressed to him.
He knew he shouldn't read it but curiosity got the better of him.
Dear Ash.
I just want to wish you the best birthday ever!
From me, Nebby, Vulpix and Kirlia, thank you!
If it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would be doing.
You have given me the sense to believe and have hope.
I got Mina to do this when you and Hau were out.
So once again, happy birthday
Lillie
It only just dawned on Ash it was his birthday in a few days as he never really thought about it. He didn't want to think about and he had no clue how Lillie knew.
But it felt nice that she did…
He then saw a large object wrapped up. Ash sat down and opened it, despite it was not his birthday. His eyes scanned the picture as it was all of them together as he felt mixed emotions…
No one ever celebrated his birthday… They might have said happy birthday, but never before did his past friends give him a gift.
Ash placed it down careful as he thought carefully about things.
Misty, May, Dawn, Iris, Serena…
And then Lillie.
Misty was a bitch half the time, May wanted Drew so bad, Dawn didn't show anything so Ash semi respected that, Iris was also a bitch and Serena played him badly.
But Lillie felt different.
Was it because she was gone?
He thought back to when she left him and Hau, reflecting on how miserable he was without her.
She was always there for him.
Now, she was gone again… But this time, he was fuelled with rage and thirst for revenge.
He got up and closed his eyes.
"Hold tight…" Ash muttered to himself as he stormed out to the main room.
Hau was away resting for now as all his Pokemon, including Incineroar were waiting for him. Ash walked out to find them all. Acerola and Nurse Joy were to the side.
"Right. Everyone is patched up?" Ash asked as Nurse Joy nodded
"Ash, are you sure about this?" Acerola asked.
Ash walked over to her.
"Acerola. They took the one of the only few that believed in me when I was at my lowest point! I'm going to make them pay!" Ash explained as the purple haired girl nodded.
"Po town is skull's little playground. You are storming right into the heart of a bully circle. No doubt they'll be waiting for you…" Acerola told him.
Ash nodded and turned to his Pokemon.
"Alright… This is going to be dangerous, we are going right into Team Skull's base! If you don't wish to come… Please, protect here!" Ash told his Pokemon but none of them moved at all. Incineroar cracked his knuckles and nodded.
Ash cracked a smile as all his Pokemon were in on the trek.
"Alright… You said it's about an hour away?" Ash asked.
"There is a back route so you don't have to cross the ocean plus I think it is faster anyways" Acerola explained as Ash nodded with his Pokemon following him outside as they set on route.
"He is insane…" Nurse Joy muttered.
Acerola smirked.
"They were made for each other… Hmm." Acerola laughed but then turned serious.
"What's up?" Joy asked.
"I might go make a phone call. He might be able to help Ash out." Acerola explained.
"But he is to go alone…" Joy questioned.
"Oh, don't worry. If I can convince him to help, skull will be no trouble…" Acerola laughed again.
(Po town)
Lillie was bounded two a chair with a rag in her mouth as Nebby pewed loudly in the container. The Pokemon taken from the orphanage including Vulpix and Kirlia were trapped in cages.
Guzma and Plumeria walked in with the latter removing the rag out of her mouth.
"He is coming to kick your arse!" Lillie hissed.
Guzma chucked.
"How cute! You two a thing now?" the bug specialist taunted as Lillie burnt up. "Aww, she is blushing!"
"S-shut up!" Lillie snapped again.
Guzma licked his lips.
"I don't like how you are speaking to me. Respect your elders…" Guzma hissed.
Lillie gulped but thankfully Guzma didn't do anything.
"Yo Boss! They crazy science peeps are here!" a grunt called out.
"Heh. Bring'em in." Guzma told the grunt as two aether employees and Faba walked in the room as Lillie gasped.
"Well, well, well. Look who we have here…" Faba said to Lillie. "How pleasant it is to see you…"
"Faba…" Lillie muttered.
"Oh… How I missed you and your 'lovely' brother…" Faba spoke as Lillie spat in his face.
The older man wiped it off and grunt before slapping Lillie, backhanded across the cheek. Her eyes watered up.
He grabbed her hair and pulled it back.
"Your mother has been right up my neck on getting back what you stole…" Faba hissed as he looked at the contained Nebby. "So, I hear you call it Nebby?"
"I don't have to tell you anything!" Lillie stuttered, trying to be as brave as possible.
Faba scoffed.
"You don't have to. Your mother has gotten the quite room all set up just waiting for you!" Faba announced as Lillie looked like she was about to cry.
"N-n-no! PLEASE! NO!" Lillie screamed in pure fear.
"She is setting it to the highest possible settings to turn that noggin of yours in to a vegetable!" Faba spat as Lillie began to cry. "Should have thought about this before you took Cosmog!" Faba told her.
He turned to the Aether workers.
"Grab her and I'll get Cosmog!" Faba told them.
"Yes Sir!" the two workers said in sync as Guzma rolled his eyes.
"Wait. I want to do something before you go." Guzma announced as he pulled out a stone that looked like it was made of ice.
"Isn't that an ice-stone?" one of the workers questioned.
Guzma smirked.
"Wait… Isn't that… NO! NO! NO!" Lillie yelled as Guzma reached down from above the cage and grabbed Vulpix by the back of her neck and placed the ice stone on her head as she began to evolve via force. After a while, she stopped glowing and was now an Alolan Ninetales.
"Sadistic sad human being… Let's go." Faba announced as Lillie tried to fight back but eventually, was thrown into a helicopter and flew off.
"Now I wait for the pest…" Guzma muttered as Ninetales whimpered at being forced to evolve. "Oh, shut up!"
Ash had made good progress so far.
Thanks to the path Acerola told him about, it turned out to be much faster than going over the ocean.
He found himself in a field full of red flowers that had wooden path's crossing over top so they didn't disturb the Pokemon.
A few trainers that were around asked for a battle. Normally, he wouldn't turn down the offer but this time he had to.
Someone in the bushes was watching Ash pass by as he pulled out a walkie talkie.
"Yo yo. That scary kid is coming our way yo!?" the skull grunt said in the walkie talkie.
"Right. We will block the entrances… Tail him." Someone said over the walkie talkie.
Ash was now out of the field and found himself towered by the large mountain of Lanakila and too his far left, he could see giant wall, bordering the town.
Walking down the path, he passed a large building that read 'police station' on it but the sign had been damaged by spray paint and a lack of love and attention. The windows had their blinds shut as the insides seemed to be filled with darkest.
He shrugged his shoulders and continued to Po town.
After passing by the police station, the blinds were lifted for an older man to look outside as he saw Ash walk towards Po town.
He sighed and closed the blinds again.
Ash was now outside the gates to Po town as he found two skull grunts waiting for him.
"Well, well, well! What a nice surprise!" one of the grunts said as Ash glared at them.
"Give yah one chance kid. Scram before yah get hurt!" the other grunt said.
"Fuck off and let me in before I hurt you!" Ash hissed.
The grunts sighed.
"Suit yourself." One of them said as he snapped his fingers with two grunts appearing from the bushes and another two from around the corner to surround Ash.
Ash looked around at them all as they laughed.
"How about now?"
As Ash reached for a pokeball, a voice called out.
"HEY!" a male shouted.
Everyone turned to the source of the noise as the skull grunts grew nervous at the figure approaching them.
He looked in his mid-40's as he wore a red but stained undershirt with the police shirt unbuttoned. He wore baggy jeans and shoes. He had short greying hair with grey bushy eyebrows His arms were covered in and around his neck was a necklace that contained a dark Z-crystal.
Next to him was an Alolan Persian.
"OH FUCK! It's the po-po! RUN!" one of the gate grunts screamed as they all ran off, leaving Ash semi-confused.
"Boy, you got some balls to be trying to get into Po Town like that." The man told Ash.
"I had the situation covered!" Ash told the man.
"Right… So, you being surrounded with Skull grunts ready to tear you apart was covered. Got it." The man said sarcastically. "Why ever bother with these sorry lot?"
"They kidnapped a friend and some Pokemon." Ash told the man whose eyes grew large. Ash saw him curse under his breathe.
"(Sigh) So I've heard. Yeh, I got a call about some… stolen Pokemon and missing girl… Lora?" the man said.
"Lillie."
"Right. Don't care. Follow me." The man told him as they walked back the way they came. "Best advice I can give is give up and call it a day."
Ash stood and was about to fire a storm at this old guy. Who did he think he was!?
"But I can already tell by the look on your face is that you're not going to."
The man walked back to the station and opened it up as Ash walked in. Despite being a police station, a lot of general stuff was in here. Clothes were hanging up, TV and a fridge, a bed of to the side.
"Close the door behind." The man said. Ash did so without arguing as the man opened another door, releasing about 14 Alolan Meowths to climb and rampage over the room.
"Do you mind telling me your name?" Ash demanded.
"Oh yeah, that. Nanu." The man known as Nanu said as he pulled out a bottle of whiskey. "Want some?" he offered.
"I'm fine…" Ash muttered.
"Suit yourself." Nanu said as he drank straight from the bottle.
Ash wandered around the room, avoiding stepping on any tails, still confused on why he was here. He passed a photo of who appeared to be a younger version of Nanu with a woman, a young girl and a baby Alolan Meowth.
"Who is this?" Ash asked curiously only for Nanu to storm over and flip the picture over.
"The past. Listen kid, I'm doing you favour by saying this, stop and go home, nobody needs to be a hero." Nanu told him.
Ash glared.
"Not a chance!" Ash snapped. Nanu rolled his eyes.
"Okay. Looks like I can't change your mind, so that's out of the roof." Nanu explained.
"Who are you?" Ash stuttered.
"Some wash up drunk. That's all. Meowth are honestly the best Pokemon, they don't care who you are or what you do. As long as they get fed." Nanu explained as he sat down. Nanu noticed the island medallion on Ash's bag.
"As a cop, why do you live near Po town of all places." Ash asked.
Nanu shrugged his shoulders.
"Rent's cheap." Nanu told him as he began to smoke. "You're doing the island trial?"
"Yeah." Ash asked defensively.
"What a hassle." Nanu said scratching his head. He sighed loudly and began to speak again.
"Look kid, think this through carefully. You better be ready before storming the castle and trying to take the flag straight from the heart of Team Skull. As the law, I can only do so little. You're either ready to become a member of Team Skull or fight your way through." Nanu explained.
Ash thought about what the cop said.
"You can get me in?" Ash asked.
Nanu groaned.
"Yeah. I owed someone and they said help your sorry ass." Nanu said with little emotion. "I can get you in and from there, you are on your own."
"I'm ready." Ash told him.
"If it makes you feel any better, I'll at least make sure your body is sent home for a proper funeral." Nanu said as he sculled the rest of the whiskey. Ash didn't know how to react to that.
Ash had his six Pokemon out as Nanu approached the door.
"Last chance." Nanu said with the same tone.
Ash rolled his eyes.
"With the sound of silence, I'll take that as a no."
"Alright. Decidueye, fire from up top. Salandit and Kirlia, you will flank left side, Bewear on the right. Incineroar and Mimikyu down the center with me! I don't care how we find Lillie, break things in your path if you must!" Ash told his team.
"Deic!"
"Weer!"
"Ciner!"
"Liiia!
"Landit!"
"Kyu!"
"Let's do this." Ash said as Nanu placed the key in the lock with Ash and co running in.
Nanu watched them run in and decided to stay for a bit…
"Got any 4's?" A grunt said to another grunt.
"Go fish." The other grunt said.
"Got a 7?"
"I swear Carlo didn't shuffle prop-"
"… Who is that…" A grunt shouted as a kid was running at them with an Incineroar and Mimikyu behind him.
"Aw, Shit! He got in!" a grunt swore as the three skull grunts on duty released there Pokemon being a Gumshoos, a Raticate and a Trumbeak.
Before they could attack, the three Pokemon were hit by a powerful left tornado, getting knocked out on the spot.
"Burn the barrier!" Ash commanded as Incineroar jumped up and fired a flamethrower at the barrier.
"SOUND THE SIREN!" a grunt yelled as one ran for a large bell.
When he tried to shake it, it was not moving. The grunt looked in confusion as he saw a Kirlia stopping it from moving thanks to psychic. Salandit burnt it off the rope it was tied too.
"WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!" the grunts yelled instead as members of Team skull began to show up and release there Pokemon.
Bewear elsewhere on the right side, punched through a wall and began to attack those instead to ensure they were not a threat. To reach the next building, he simply smashed down the wall.
Decidueye was sniping with arrows from atop the buildings and felt them shake when Bewear smashed through the walls.
"Shadow claw! Fire fang!"
Mimikyu released her claw and slash the skull Pokemon while Incineroar engulfed them in fire thanks to fire fang.
A Machoke ran at Incineroar but was quickly close lined by Bewear, who smashed through one of the buildings. Bewear picked up one of the cars that the grunts used as a lookout post and threw it at the next barrier, smashing it in mere seconds.
"On command! Incineroar and Salandit, trap them in fire!"
The two fire types surrounded as many Pokemon as possible in a ring of fire.
"Kirlia! Raise the flames with psychic!"
Kirlia's eyes glowed blue as the he raised the flames with his psychic abilities.
"Bewear and Mimikyu, ensure no one gets out!"
"Bewa!" Bewear nodded as he stared them all down.
"KU!" Mimikyu hissed at the Pokemon that attempted to escape the ring of fire.
"Let's make this a statement to Guzma! DECIDUEYE!" Ash called out as the grass ghost type jumped down from the building as Ash hit the Z-ring.
"Sinister Arrow Raid!" Ash yelled as the ghost like bird fired three arrows at the ring of fire, going through it in fact and began to multiple, however this time instead of leaves forming the tornado, the fire became the tornado with the hundreds of arrows surrounding it. The Skull Pokemon screamed in pain as Decidueye fired the final arrow with the tornado exploding, shaking the whole town.
The grunts that were out fled as some more came out of the house at the very end of the town.
"You're going down punk!" A grunt hissed.
"Second wave huh! Bring it!" Ash yelled.
Nanu was patting Persian as he noticed voices starting to come louder. A swarm of grunts began to run out of the entrance and in all different directions.
Nanu just watched in surprise.
(2 hours ago)
Nanu was fast asleep on the couch as his phone began to ring.
The noise woke him up as he suffered from a killer headache.
He picked up the phone to see the caller ID as he groaned, with the name being labelled 'Noise'.
"What." Was all Nanu said.
"Hi Uncle Nanu. Remember that time I gave you money so you could get alcohol?" the girl said.
"No." Nanu bluntly answered
"I do. And you said reluctantly you would do a favour sometime? I have a friend that's coming your way now. His friend was kidnapped by Team Skull and he needs help in."
Nanu groaned.
"Sounds like a waste of time." Nanu told her.
"Please Uncle!" the girl whinned as Nanu hung up.
His phone began to ring again with the grumpy cop hanging up instantly but it began to ring again and again and again.
Nanu had finally had it.
"ALRIGHT! Fine! I'll help your idiot of friend! His funeral!" Nanu snapped.
"Yes! Thank you Uncle Nanu!" the girl said as she hung up.
(Present)
"BOSS! BOOOOSSS! BOSSSSSSSSSSS!" A grunt yelled.
"What." Guzma hissed.
"Th-Tha-That Kid! Uh, Ash? HE IS WREAKING EVERYONE!" the grunt warned as Guzma smirked.
"He actually came? Heh." Guzma laughed.
"Didn't think he had the guts to roll up here." Guzma announced as Plumeria rested against the wall.
"Plumeria? Why don't you go greet our little pest!" Guzma told his second in command.
"Got it." Plumeria told the white-haired man as he sat back in his chair.
Incineroar gave an uppercut to Bisharp and processed to hold it in a headlock before if fell unconscious. He dropped the fainted Pokemon ground as it was returned by its owner with the grunts running off.
Ash and his crew approached the door of the building but to his pleasant surprise, was now facing down Plumeria.
"You." Ash hissed.
"Ah! The echoes of that weakling Hau scream is still ringing in my head as if it was a few seconds ago." Plumeria explained as she released her Toxapex.
"Where is Lillie!" Ash demanded as his team got into a defensive stance.
"Crying away like a little bitch." Plumeria taunted as she saw it was getting on Ash's nerve. "Aww, do you like her?"
Ash didn't respond as he still didn't know how he felt for the blonde.
"Oh, you do! The look on your face of a teenage FAKE crush! I'll show you what a real crush is once Toxapex crushes YOUR WHOLE TEAM! Sludge bomb!" Plumeria yelled as the water poison type fired the bomb filled with toxins at Ash's team.
As he was about to command an attack, a powerful dark pulse destroyed the bomb. Ash turned to find Nanu walking towards them with a bottle of bourbon in his hand and his Persian next to him.
"I thought we agreed to stay out of each other's ways, Officer Nanu!" Plumeria hissed.
"Yeah well, guess what. I changed my mind. Kid, go and find your friend. I'll handle her." Nanu offered as Persian pounced on Toxapex.
Plumeria had conflicted thoughts on what to do but ultimately, she had to focus on Nanu so she let Ash slip by.
Every grunt that was in the building dove out of the way. Ash nodded at Incineroar who grabbed one by the shirt and growled in his face.
"Where is Guzma!?" Ash yelled.
"AHHH! UPSTAIRS!? TO THE LEFT! PLEASE DON'T HURT MEEE!" the grunt whined. Incineroar dropped him to the ground as they walked up the spiralling staircase to find two nervous grunts outside the door that had Guzma apparently in it.
"Move." Ash told them.
"U-um, a-as the gua-guards of bo-boss gu-gu-gu-guzma, We ca-" One grunt started until Bewear grabbed them both by their throats.
"Still want to move?" Ash asked them as they nodded furiously. Like Incineroar did mere moments ago, Bewear just threw them to the side.
Ash kicked down the door to find Guzma alone in the room sitting in a throne. Around him was his Golisopod, Heracross, Masquerain and Ariados. Next to them was a pile of Z-crystals which appeared to be for the bug type.
"Lookie who showed up!" Guzma laughed.
"You cross the line this time…" Ash threatened.
"Did I though? I didn't get her, I just gave the orders." Guzma pleaded sarcastically.
"Where is she!" Ash muttered.
"Gone. LONG gone." Guzma told him.
Ash felt his heart sink.
"What…" he muttered as he clutched his fist.
"Yep. I was just doing a job for an old friend." Guzma told him. "Only took her and that cloud thing. If you look to your right!"
Ash turned to his right to find Kirlia and an Alolan Ninetales in a cage.
"YOU FORCED HER TO EVOLVE!?" Ash shouted.
Guzma shrugged his shoulders.
"Was going to happen eventually, why not now?" Guzma told him.
"Team skull is history! Nearly your whole team has fled!" Ash told him.
"I don't care."
"Some leader you are!"
"Listen Ash. We aren't so different ourselves. Both rejects to our friends and family!" Guzma said with a smirk as Ash paled.
"How do you know that…" Ash muttered.
"Again. An old friend. You were betrayed. I was framed." Guzma explained.
"You brought it on yourself!" Ash told him as Incineroar cracked his knuckles.
Guzma sighed.
"We really doing this here? 6 vs 4 is a little unfair." Guzma laughed.
"Was it fair when your lackeys snuck up on Hau and tried to kill him!" Ash countered.
"Alright I give you take. Well then. First impression!" Guzma yelled as Golisopod dashed forwards and slashed Kirlia, knocking him out on the spot. "There! A little more balanced in a 5 vs 4!"
"Flamethrower! Both of you!" Ash commanded.
His two fire types joined flamethrowers and aimed at the team of bugs.
"Protect!"
Masquerain used protect as the fire hit the shield which was glowing red.
"Poison sting Ariados! Brick break Heracross! Razor shell!"
Ariados fired the poison sting at Mimikyu but the ghost fairy swatted the poison move away.
Heracross took aim for Incineroar who jumped at Heracross with fire fang. Heracross punched Incineroar hard in the large but was burnt from the fire fang.
Golisopod was swiping at Bewear with Razor shell with the bear trying to dodge each attack.
"Bewear! Grab his arms then use headbutt!"
Bewear did as told, capturing the arms of the bug water type and smashed his head on to his with Golisopod falling to the ground dazed.
"Toxic Salandit!"
Salandit spewed the toxic on to Golisopod, who smacked the lizard away but it was too late as he felt the effects.
Guzma growled.
"Quiver dance then air slash!" Guzma yelled as Masquerain boosted his stats and then slashed air at Decidueye who felt the damage pile on.
"Sprit shackle!"
The bird fell to the ground to get out of the onslaught and fired an arrow at the Hoenn Pokemon.
Golisopod was struggling to stand as the toxic was serious taking toll and to Ash's surprise, was the first of Guzma's Pokemon to faint.
"Night slash on that Mimikyu Heracross!" Guzma yelled with a hint of frustration in his voice as Heracross slammed the dark move down on Mimikyu but with Disguise yet to be broken, Mimikyu did not take damage.
"Play rough!" Ash shouted as he took command in the battle.
Mimikyu jumped on to Heracross and began to smack him about as the single horn Pokemon fell over with swirly eyes.
"GRRR! Masquerain, bu-"
Before he could finish the command, Incineroar blasted the poor bug flying type in fire with it falling to the ground.
"No, no, no, no, no, No, No! NO! NO! NO!" Guzma ranted as all that remained was Ariados.
"Finish this!" Ash said with no sympathy for the spider.
Each of his Pokemon contributed to the attack as Ariados suffered the same fate as his teammates.
There was an awkward silence but soon broken by Guzma.
"GUZMA! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!" he yelled at himself.
Ash remained silent as Guzma panted.
"Heh. Well kid, I got beat. Like the gracious loser I am, I'll hand you this." Guzma laughed silently as he threw Ash the Bugium-Z.
"Where is she." Ash demanded again as Guzma returned his bugs, sighed and walked to Ash. Incineroar and Mimikyu growled but their trainer stuck out an arm to signal to stop.
"Never judge a book by its cover." Guzma told him. "Word of advice: Keep your enemies close and your friend's closer."
Guzma walked off as Ash freed the Pokemon from the orphanage including Lillie's Pokemon. Kirlia ran over to her injured brother while Ninetales gave a sad look. Not a look of sadness because she was a Ninetales now but that her trainer was gone.
Ash walked outside to find Nanu sitting down on top of the car Bewear threw with Persian fast asleep next to him. The cat looked like it didn't even take damage.
"I saw Guzma storm off." Nanu told him as he took a sip of his bourbon.
"Yeah. I beat him." Ash told Nanu but the cop kept the same look.
"Look around. Notice there is least grunts wandering around? Once they saw their boss flee…" Nanu explained.
"Right."
"Pokemon inside pokeballs. Team skull inside here. I wonder if either enjoys the experience." Nanu pondered. "Did you find your friend?"
Ash felt the guilt pile inside.
"No. She is gone with someone…"
Nanu sighed.
"Right. All I can say is good luck. Chances are low but yeah." Nanu said as he got off the car and with Persian following him.
Ash sighed and walked back to the orphanage.
(Meanwhile in Kalos)
Jack, Jargai and Duncan were at a table having lunch in public.
"You hear Rachel Shero died?" Jargai told Duncan.
"The singer? No way! I listened to her music all the time!" Duncan said shocked as Jack twirled around with his food.
A large black limo parked near them as three individuals walked out of the car, in black suits and over to the base attack survivors.
"Excuse me gentlemen. Are you Jack North, Jargai Elium and Duncan Rios?" the man in the suit said.
"Yeah… Who is asking?" Jack said with a mouth full.
"Secret services. We are going to need you to come with us. Something has been discovered." The woman said.
"The SD card in the phone worked!?"
"… Yes. Please, time is running out." The man said as Jack got up with Jargai and Duncan watching him.
"Well?" Jack told his friends.
Duncan shook his head as they got up and went to the limo to sit in.
Before they could do anything, they were sprayed by some substance that knocked them out instantly.
"Madame President. We have the base survivors." The man said to a phone.
"Excellent. Bring them too me."
The limo drove off and towards the airport.
(Alola)
Ash arrived back at the orphanage and entered the building to find a massive surprise awaiting him. In the main entrance with Hau who looked slightly better thanks to the meds and some rest, and Acerola was Lana, Kiawe, Mallow and Zach.
"Guys? What are you doing here?" Ash questioned.
"I was on my way to do the trial but Hau filled me in what was going on!" Zach explained.
Ash let the orphanage Pokemon out of the pokeballs that they were taken in and they ran over to Acerola.
"What about you guys?" Ash questioned when he turned to the trial captains.
"Mallow, care to explain?" Lana said.
"Well I was talk-"Mallow started but the front door of the building flung open with Gladion rushing inside.
"WHERE IS SHE!?" Gladion shouted in rage.
"Gone." Ash told him as he watched Gladions face to glow red in anger.
Gladion cursed and then saw Mallow who waved awkwardly.
"I told you to stay out of my way!" Gladion hissed at the green haired girl.
"I want to help! They are our friend which include Lillie!" Mallow snapped back at the edgy blonde.
"Care to explain?" Gladion demanded.
"Team Skull took her." Ash said which was enough to provoke Gladion to go over to him, grab him by the shirt and slam him back against the wall. Kiawe and Hau had to tear the two apart before it got out of hand.
"They gave her and Nebby to someone. Guzma never said who!" Ash told Gladion.
"Nebby?" Gladion said confused.
"The weird cloud thing, remember?" Mallow added as Gladions rage peaked.
"NO! THEY HAVE COSMOG!?" he yelled as he grew so frustrated he ended up punching the wall.
"Gladion stop!" Hau called out as Gladion stormed outside.
The group followed him out
"You are all idiots! The fate of not only Alola! But the whole world lies inside Cosmog!" Gladion roared.
"ARGH! I'LL SHOW YOU HOW ANGRY YOU MAKE ME!" Gladion shouted as he threw up a pokeball to reveal a shock to everyone, primarily to Ash and Hau.
"Type Null no longer has his helmet?" Hau stuttered.
"Lucario go!" Zach called out wanting to battle this strange Pokemon.
"SIVALLY Multi attack!" Gladion commanded. With one sweet and quick attack, Lucario was flung backwards like a rag doll as Zach's jaw dropped.
"GLADION!" Ash yelled above all. The blonde looked at him. "We are going to get her back! But we can only do that by helping each other!"
Gladion glared at Ash, not liking the idea of working with him but as much as he made his blood boil.
"As much as I hate you all equally, I've got my back against a wall here." Gladion confessed.
"You know who has them don't you?" Ash asked as Gladion nodded whole patting Silvally. "Who?"
Gladion sighed.
"Aether foundation."
Authors note: The. Fucking. Trailer. Holy. Shit.
The Elite four theme for Unova is my favorite battle theme but IF THAT THEME IS THE BATTLE THEME FOR THE RECON TEAM THEY HAD IN THE TRAILER! AHHH!
Ultra Recon Squad. I love there design and so mysterious... Can't forget the new UB either, cute little man.
Plus battling UB's in home world? How cool is that.
I saw this on 4Chan's Pokemon board and its a rather good laugh:
Bursts home world will be a fucked up flesh like carnival
Assembly will have giant rock skyscrapers that look down on you
Adhesive will be a sticky, toxic place.
AND lastly Guzzlord, who won't have a home cuz it fucking ate everything
I laughed harder at the Guzzlord one more than I should have.
SO THE CHAPTER NOW: SHIT IS GETTING TENSE! Reason why so close chapter uploads is that the new trailers motivated me lmao. I can't wait to start writing about the Recon team, I'm already plotting things :)
So Ash meets Nanu and storms Po Town.
Ninetales forced to evolved to add drama.
And Gladion storms in and acts like a douche.
The miltary base survivors are being drawn into the battle as well.
Next chapter, We are now getting on to the Aether invasion
QUESTIONS:
since Ash met Magearna before, will she appear?
Megearna is going be to interest. I will find a way but seeming it is in Kalos... So will be a bit before we see her again.
There's a story I'm trying to find, where Ash it was another Ash was betrayed and went to Alola fanfic, but his Pokémon didn't betray him and Greninja got his own personal z move. What was the name of that fanfic?
No clue.
Is Marshadow going to join Ash at some point?
I forgot to mention this at the end of last chapter: Allies.
Will Greninja learn Z moves?
Uh, Yeah. He has already used one.
Will Ash have an epic showdown with the Pokemon that betrayed him?
I have something planned (That could change depending on USUM)
Will Lillie get another Pokemon?
Yes
Is this fanfic somehow connected to your other stories? ( authors' realm etc etc)
I've only really just thought about this but no. Though we might see some cameos from some old characters in there... Just saying
When will there be more Lillie-Ash action?
Some in here and will now really pick up.
Will other various people who didn't betray him meet him in this fanfic, and possibly help him?
Yes
when will the second part of the fan fiction starts
After the league (IT WILL BE IN THE TITLE OF THE CHAPTER)
Did you see the new trailer of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? Now you can travel in different worlds and meet interdimensional aliens!
I died of happiness knowing that people that shit post on USUM can finally shut up as we have new content now. There was always going to be there just been 9 years since we had the last true third game in Platinum (B2W2 Sequels).
Will Mewtwo be making any kind of appearance in this story?
READ: The first half of the story (before the league) is primarily going to be just Alola. The second half (half the league) which will stay in this story, old legends, characters will return with some 'interesting ones that just got revealed in the last like 30 hours' also appearing.
Not sure if this is up to standard with other chapter but here we go!
Until next time, Review, suggest or PM me. Spectre out!
