ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 54 - Quarter finals.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/


The night was the daunting time for both Ash and Hau.

The pair had travelled the whole region together.

Going through battle after battle with one another.

Taking on the trials, Team Skull, the Aether foundation and the Ultra Beasts.

Only to know that one would have to knockout the other and crush there dreams in becoming the first champion of Alola.

It had to come eventually but neither of them expected the battle this soon.

Lillie chose to sleep on the couch for the night and leave Ash alone to think.

Ironically, both he and Hau were wide awake and just sitting on their beds.

Ash knew that if there was any one in this tournament that could beat him, it would be either Hau or Gladion.

Gladion due to the power he had in his team.

And Hau because he learnt everything he knew from Ash.

To Hau, Ash was his hero and now the biggest battle of his life so far was a mere 12 hours away.

With only 8 battlers left, it was now time to show what each team could really do with 6 Pokemon.

Both sighed at the same time and attempted to get some sleep.


(Elsewhere)

Gladion was waiting on a bridge at Malie garden looking down into the water as Nanu and Wicke arrived.

"You're actually here on time." Gladion muttered.

"Shut it." Nanu snapped as he took a drink of his flask.

"Master Gladion, it's so good to see you're excelling in the league." Wicke said to the president of Aether.

Gladion just shrugged his shoulders.

"It's easy enough. Now can we get to the point on why we are here?" Gladion asked.

"The international police would like to meet you." Nanu told him.

"I thought you hated them?" Gladion asked.

"I do but I can't ignore that I once worked for them." Nanu muttered.

"Both your father and mother never got along with them hence Ula'Ula's strained relationship with the foundation due to Nanu." Wicke explained as Nanu gave her the middle finger.

"What do they want?" Gladion questioned.

"A fresh start. I don't trust them. They're only talking due to what happened with the Ultra Beasts." Nanu explained the situation. "Be careful what you say."

"Aren't they the reason why we are having these meetings so late?" Gladion asked.

"Yes. Yes, we are." A female called out.

Gladion twirled around as Nanu cursed.

He found a man in a brown coat with a woman in a suit with purple hair.

"You are?"

"My name is Anabel, and this is Looker. We are members of the international police and former associates of Mr. Nanu." Anabel explained.

"I told you I would come and get you!" Nanu hissed.

"You were taking your time. A quick to trip to the bar huh?" Looker muttered.

"May I congratulate you on becoming the new President of Aether Gladion." Anabel said to the blonde, who was surprised she knew his name already.

"Thanks…"

"We are both on the same side here. Us and them. Humans and Pokemon VS the Ultra Beasts." Anabel explained.

"This isn't over." Gladion told them.

"Indeed, it is not. But that is another conversation for another day. This was just a meeting. We'll talk in the near future. Looker, come." Anabel told him as Looker followed her towards the exit.

Gladion glared at the pair and went the other way back to the league to get some rest.


(The next morning)

It was now the morning as Ash and Hau didn't make contact with one another at all.

Ash had been and done this before with the likes of Gary and Paul.

But neither had affected him as badly as battling Hau.

Lillie had gone out and would be at the battle with the others who had a private box as the trial captains. Kukui and Burnet would be joining them.

The two boys were now in their retrospective locker rooms as they could hear the crowd roaring and chanting, feasting for a fiery battle they so dear desired.

They both had their Pokemon out and gave a pep talk.

"Alright. We are battling Hau." Ash told his Pokemon.

The bulk of his Pokemon gave saddened looks that they were battling their friends in the knockout stage while Decidueye, Incineroar and Greninja being the three older Pokemon kept calm looks.

"At the end of the day… Well, I hope… We are still all going to be friends. But for now! We must push that aside and treat him like any another battle we have done! Aim to win!" Ash announced.

"ROAR!" Incineroar yelled followed up by everyone else.

Ash pulled Greninja aside and told him he would sit out the battle.

Both of them knew it would be unfair for the overpowered water type to battle and Ash was saving him for a special occasion against a certain edgy blonde.

Elsewhere, Hau was in the same stance as Ash was.

"We looked up to him, we've battled along side him and we've celebrated with him! But today, that changes! We've got to throw everything we have!" Hau shouted.

"CHU!" Raichu shouted.

"It's the master vs the apprentice now. We aren't just battling for us. We are battling for everyone that helped us to get to this point!" Hau announced as he looked down.

"That means you Grandad…" Hau muttered before returning to a look of determination.

He stuck his hand out as everyone put there's in.

"FOR HALA!" Hau yelled as the team had a huge shout.

Lillie looked down from the box and saw the 80,000-seat stadium was filled to the limit. For the final, an extra 20,000 seats were being added to make it be the final with the highest record attendance ever.

"I can't decide…" Lillie said harshly as Kukui and Burnet sat down next to her.

"It's had but they are both going to give a stunning performance. I know." Burnet told the blonde.

Lillie just sighed.

"They are going display everything the island challenge has taught them and show us all what sweet Z-moves they can do."


"WELCOME EVERYONE YET AGAIN! THIS RIGHT HERE FOLKS IS THE FIRST BATTLE OF THE QUARTER FINALS! 8 REMAIN, 4 GO THROUGH BUT WHO WILL IT BE! PLEASE WELCOME FOR THE MATCH, OUR BATTLERS: ASH AND HAU!" The commentator announced.

The two friends walked on to their platforms and just stared at one another.

Hau was the first to crack a smile that he couldn't believe it.

"This quarter final battle will be consisted of using 6 Pokemon each. When one trainer can no longer use any of their Pokemon, the match will be over. Each trainer is allowed one Z-move and switch is only allowed when play is at a standstill. Trainers! Prepare your first Pokemon!" The ref announced.

Ash tipped his hat down slightly as Hau gave a serious look.

Ash sighed and took the mic that was provided

"You ready!" Ash called out.

Hau smiled as this was now really happening.

"You should know that I always am!" Hau responded with a giant grin.

"BEGIN!"

"Mimikyu! Go!"

"Primarina, let's do this!"

The two fairy types appeared, and both waved to the crowd.

The crowd were extra excited due to the fact Mimikyu was shiny.

"Mimikyu, swords dance!" Ash yelled as he got the battle rolling with the first move.

The disguise Pokemon stopped waving and summoned holo like swords above her as her attack rose.

"Get rid of that disguise now!" Hau yelled.

Primarina sung loudishly as a sparkling aria formed as she aimed it at the ghost fairy.

"Dodge it then use play rough!" Ash called out.

Mimikyu swiftly avoided the signature move of Primarina and jumped at her.

"Aqua jet!"

Primarina formed water around herself and rammed her right into Mimikyu before she could use the play rough.

The ghost landed on the ground with no worries, but the advantage of disguise was now gone.

"Moonblast!" Hau yelled.

"You too!"

The two fairies aimed and fired the moonblast with there moves cancelling out each other.

"Shadow ball!" Ash said as Mimikyu's eyes glowed.

She made the shadow ball and released it right at Primarina.

"Icy wind to freeze it then send it back with disarming voice!" Hau shouted.

Primarina froze the shadow ball in ice and sent it back right at Mimikyu with a backed-up disarming voice.

Mimikyu slashed the shadow ball in half with shadow claw but was then hit by the fairly weak fairy type move.

Ash smirked.

"Wood hammer!" he yelled as Hau gave a confused look.

The wooden tail that Mimikyu used glowed green. It grew bigger and bigger as the ghost slammed Primarina with it.

The Soloist Pokemon fell to the ground and slowly got up as Mimikyu began to make noises.

"Shadow claw!"

"Aqua jet to dodge!"

Ash had a firm idea Hau was going to do that which is why he went for shadow claw this time.

At Primarina dodged slightly, she felt herself get close lined and forced to the ground.

"Crud…" Hau muttered to himself as Mimikyu stood over Primarina.

Mimikyu wasn't pinning her down but she was still afraid of what the ghost could do.

Hau gave a cross look.

"SHADOW BALL!" Ash yelled.

"Protect!" Hau yelled back.

Primarina protected herself as Mimikyu released the shadow ball which rebounded off the project to hit her.

Mimikyu felt the effects of her own move as Primarina was given a chance to get up and function.

"Hydro pump!"

"Play rough!"

Mimikyu dashed at Primarina who fired a hydro pump at her. Mimikyu dodged them all to only jump in the air and get hit by one but doing what she had to do by landing of Primarina to knock her out from the play rough.

"Primarina can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.

Primarina's image on the live board went to a grey colouration.

Hau returned his starter and nodded at her pokeball.

Ash returned Mimikyu as the pair got ready to rumble again.

"Kommo-o!"

"Bewear, come on out!"

Like the first battle with two fairies, this time it was a battle of two fighting types with the additional typing's of dragon and normal retrospectively.

"BEGIN!" The ref called.

Ash grunted as he knew that Kommo-o was going to be a pain. Had he known, he might have taken the risk with Mimikyu as he knew she was faster but it depended on fatigue kicking in or not.

"Clanging scales!" Hau shouted.

Kommo-o unleashed the dragon like aura soundwaves.

"Stone edge to protect yourself!"

Bewear slammed into the ground as a stone edge pierced out and was going right at the dragon fighting type.

"Dual chop to slice them in half!"

With a simple twirl and knowledge of a move, Kommo-o sliced through the stone edge like butter.

"Dragon claw!" Hau yelled.

Kommo-o ran right at Bewear who held him up at first but dropped him shortly after as he felt a series of dragon claws swiping at him.

"Bewear! Zen-headbutt!" Ash told the bear who charged at Kommo-o with Hau not doing anything.

Bewear slammed into Kommo-o with the psychic move as the dragon felt it.

But Hau had a plan.

"Drain punch!" Hau finally yelled.

Bewear looked at his larger foe with his fist glowed a brown colour and thrusted it into Bewear's chest.

Kommo-o recovered a bit of health after the hit with the zen headbutt.

Bewear slid along the ground with one hand on his knee.

"Hyper beam!" Hau yelled.

Kommo-o fired the powerful normal move as it hit Bewear dead on and knocking him out.

"Bewear can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.

Hau was going to stay in with Kommo-o and Ash wanted it gone.

The Kanto born sent out Mimikyu again who was still feeling the effects of her battle with Primarina.

Hau didn't like this. It now meant all his dragon moves were now useless.

"BEGIN!"

"Play rough!

"Protect!"

Kommo-o shielded himself within the barrier as Mimikyu slammed into it.

"Thunderpunch!"

"Dodge then use double team!"

Kommo-o's fist glowed in electricity as he slammed it right at Mimikyu who jumped out of the way and quickly formed a circle around the pseudo legendary.

Kommo-o looked around at them all who were all making individual sounds to confuse him which was working to great affect as Hau was calling out to him.

Hau grunted.

"Jump all in and then use play rough!" Ash called out.

The clones all jumped at the separate times and poofed into nothing once they made contact with Kommo-o.

However, the real Mimikyu landed on Kommo-o and smacked him around with the dragon fighting type landing on the ground in pure pain.

He forced himself up and was helped by Mimikyu who slammed a shadow ball under his chin.

"Moonblast!"

Mimikyu fired the move up and blasted right at Kommo-o before he could move.

The dragon fighting type fell to the ground like Primarina and Bewear before him with swirly eyes as the ref declared Kommo-o unable to battle any further.

"Kommo-o can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.

As before, Ash returned Mimikyu while Hau brought back Kommo-o.

"So far it's very even." Lillie muttered to Kukui who watched the pair.

"Yeah… They are both duking it out with full passion!" Kukui told her.

"Gallade go!"

"Umbreon!"

Umbreon bringing his normal aggressive attitude and growled heavily at Gallade who stood in a defensive like stance.

"Begin!"

"Double team then toxic! Follow that with sand attack too!" Hau yelled.

Umbreon split into many copies and the real one sprayed the toxic acid on Gallade.

"Psycho cut to destroy the copies!" Ash yelled.

"What? But dark can't be affect by psychic moves?" Burnet muttered.

"Something they have practised, just watch." Lillie told her.

Gallade span around as the psychic type move sliced through the clones till in hit the real one which did nothing.

"Bingo. CLOSE COMBAT!"

"Shadow ball!"

Umbreon charged the ball up and flung at the charging Gallade who swiftly dodged with his blades glowing blue as he slashed at Umbreon.

The dark dodged the bulk but felt an incredible pain in his side as Gallade managed to land a hit on the right-hand side of his body.

Being super effective, Umbreon wasn't in the best mindset.

Though he saw Gallade was feeling the affects of the toxic as he began to stumble slightly with a green face and sickly eyes.

Hau's plan was to wear him out to the point where toxic fully takes in control.

"Double then quick attack around him!" Hau shouted out as Umbreon nodded.

Umbreon multiplied himself again and ran around Gallade.

The psychic fighting type turned his head to try and keep up but was hurting his head with the toxic starting to take toll.

Ash grunted as he had to figure something out.

That's when he saw his chance.

"GALLADE! Look for the one that is limping then use brick break!" Ash shouted as Hau grunted this time.

Gallade scanned everyone and a certain copy seemed to take an extra jump unlike the other clones.

Wobbly, Gallade ran to the 'clone' and smashed a brick break right into the side as the copies disappeared and Umbreon going flying.

He landed on his side with swirly eyes as the crowd cheered.

"Umbreon can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.

"You did good bud." Hau said as he brought out Raichu.

Ash was about to call in Gallade but the Pokemon shook his head.

"G'llad!" Gallade called out.

Rotom appeared and translated.

"He said he can't continue but why bring in a Pokemon that could just get hurt before he fell."

Ash nodded at Gallade who tried to stay still but his body was vibrating all round.

"Begin!"

"Discharge!"

"CHUU!" Raichu cried as he blasted the fierce electric energy at Gallade who used his sword like arms to block it slightly. He winced behind the attack.

"Iron tail!" Hau shouted.

Due to the toxic affecting his natural vision and hearing, Gallade didn't react to the first hit as Raichu slammed his tail into the back-left leg of the Sinnoh Pokemon.

He tried to deflect the hits but Raichu was too fast as he hit in the chest.

Gallade was still awake but landed on his back unable to move as the toxic took its toll.

He tried again to get up but failed once more before finally falling to defeat.

"Gallade can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.

Despite winning, Hau took Raichu out of the battle for now while Ash recalled Gallade to give him a nice long rest.

"Aegislash! GO!" Hau said as the ghost sword appeared.

"A ghost huh? Two can play at that! Decidueye!" Ash said back to his friend as the grass ghost appeared silently.

"Begin!"

"Defence stance then aerial ace!" Hau yelled, giving the first command.

Aegislash flipped his shield on to the cloth and flung it at Decidueye.

"Dodge then sprite shackle!"

Decidueye flipped out of the way and plucked a quill arrow. He aimed at Aegislash who just got his shield back.

"Protect!"

The haunted sword returned to it's defence stance and used protect as the arrow came crashing in.

"Aegislash, shadow claw!"

The tip of the sword glowed a dark and ominous colour as the whole sword was soon covered in it. Aegislash fired itself towards Decidueye who dodged as the ghost steel type came crashing in.

It pulled itself out of the ground and swiped at Decidueye over and over again. Aegislash did get lucky and did cut Decidueye's wing.

"Leaf storm!"

Decidueye fired an arrow which exploded into leaves as a storm of them formed. Aegislash couldn't get past it without injury so had to wait it out.

Once it started to die down, a quill was fired and hit the sword in the chest.

"Grhh!" Hau mumbled to himself as Aegislash focused itself.

"Sprite shackle again! Don't stop!"

Decidueye fired arrow after arrow as Aegislash deflected each one.

"Shadow sneak."

Aegislash dropped down into the vast shadows and slithered up to the fully evolved starter to slash at his ankles.

Decidueye cried in pain as Aegislash remerged up.

"Set up with swords dance!"

"Decidueye! You use nasty plot then sprite shackle!"

The two Pokemon on the field of play began to charge up there stats.

But Decidueye was prepared as he quickly plucked an arrow and aimed it right at Aegislash.

Hau had a conflicted look but had a very risky plan.

As Decidueye pulled back the arrow, he shouted his plan.

"Destiny bond!"

The crowd gasped which included Ash but it was to late as Decidueye had fired the arrow on the call.

Three light balls flew past and soft popped on Decidueye as Aegislash was hit direct on with the signature ghost move.

It fell on the ground as Decidueye began to fell a horrendous pain.

The former Grass flying type fell to his knees and fainted just like that with the destiny bond doing its job.

"Both Aegislash and Decidueye can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.

The two boys sighed as they both returned there Pokemon.

"Crabominable! Show Alola what you can do!" Hau yelled, threw out his grandpa's Pokemon.

"Incineroar, let's go!"

The fire dark starter appeared and roared into the air as he saw his opponent and licked his lips.

"Begin!"

"Ice hammer!"

"Fire punch!"

An ice like version of wood hammer appeared as Incineroar scooped up enough fire to create a fire punch.

Crabominable slammed it down at Incineroar but the cat just punched right through it with fire punch as the ice move shattered.

Incineroar landed near Crabominable and forced him into a head lock.

"Drain punch!"

Incineroar was being cocky and due to that, Crabominable landed a drain punch right into his stomach.

Incineroar roared in pain but got back up.

"Close combat!"

"Flamethrower!"

The ice fighting type tried to close to land the powerful fighting move but Incineroar kept him back with flamethrower.

"Swords dance then ice hammer into the ground!" Hau shouted.

Crabominable used the attack raising move then made a ice hammer which was already melting due to the fire on the ground. The crab slammed into on to the ground as mud splattered everywhere including on Incineroar.

Incineroar looked at himself and then looked up in rage as the mud started to harden due to the now intense heat.

"Darkest lariat!" Ash shouted as Incineroar twirled at Crabominable.

"Defend yourself! Don't le-"Hau started but as he was saying that, Incineroar close lined the old Pokemon as he fell on his back. "Shit…" Hau cursed as he looked up on the board.

His mind was all over the place and Ash could see that.

Incineroar took advantage of that and finished the evolution of Crabrawler off with a flamethrower.

"Crabominable can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced as Hau returned Crabominable with a worried look.

Ash sighed.

"HAU!" He shouted with the whole crowd going silent.

Hau looked up.

"Let's make this last one a fight to remember!" Ash told him, hoping to help Hau get back into as Raichu was all he had left now.

Hau sighed and threw out Raichu.

"Chu!" Raichu taunted to Incineroar who was cracking his knuckles.

"Roa…" Incineroar laughed, claiming he was going to enjoy beating Raichu into smithereens.

"BEGIN!" The ref shouted yet again.

"Raichu nasty plot! Dodge anything that comes your way!" Hau shouted.

Raichu charged up as Incineroar ran at him.

"Darkest Lariat!" Ash yelled.

Incineroar stopped running and proceeded to twirl, covered in dark energy.

Raichu dodged without thinking.

"Use psychic to pick up the rocks and crush Incineroar!" Hau followed up.

Raichu's eyes glowed blue as several large rocks were lifted out of the ground and hurled right at Incineroar.

The fire dark type used flamethrower to cut them in half and before he could do anything else, a large thunderbolt was fired right at him. Incineroar shielded himself with his arms which still had a bit of mud on it.

Ash noticed the slight damage the mud reduced and now had to just wait.

Hau sighed and looked up at Ash.

"We aren't going down with out a fight! Never have and never will!" Hau shouted once more as he slammed his Z-ring with yellow aura coming out.

"Incineroar! Roll in the mud and cover yourself NOW!" Ash yelled.

"Stoked Sparksurfer!" Hau yelled as Incineroar dived into the mud that Crabominable created with the melted and crushed ice hammer.

He reappeared covered in it complete and due to the heat, he produced, it was hardened fast.

Thunderclouds appeared as bolts of lighting struck Raichu who charged up his signature Z-move and grinned down on his old rival.

"What is Ash doing!?" Mallow cried as he was instructing his Pokemon to roll in mud.

Kukui smiled.

"Something smart, that's what." Kukui told her.

"What?" Lillie questioned as well.

"Just watch."

"Once he's down, use throat chop to hold as long as possible!" Ash said as Raichu flew down.

Normally with Stoked Sparksurfer, Raichu slams into them and pushes them to the side but Incineroar was using throat chop to hold on to Raichu who was trying to break free while expelling the loose electricity that he conducted.

"The mud he is using to block out some of the power from the electricity. Sure, he is taking damage but not as much as he should." Kukui explained to everyone.

Raichu and Incineroar glared at each other Raichu failed the Z-move with Incineroar letting go. Raichu's tail glowed silver while Incineroar's hand became covered in flames.

Raichu whacked an iron tail into the leg of the cat while Incineroar smacked a fire punch to the left side of Raichu's face.

The two went back in front of their trainers panting and recovering from their attacks.

"Discharge!" Hau said as Raichu still had some of the Z-move electricity and fired off a over strength discharge.

"Dodge!" Ash called.

Incineroar being the size he is, dodged the moves.

"Again!"

Before Raichu could charge another, Ash made a quick call.

"Flare blitz on the ground!"

Incineroar fired the recoiling fire move as fire and smoke covered the field.

Hau raised an eyebrow in confusion as did Raichu.

Jumping out of the flames was Incineroar with a crunch as he latched down on to Raichu with the electric psychic type whining in pain.

Incineroar threw him into the air as all the fire formed rings around Raichu, preventing him to fly as well.

Ash turned his backwards with a smirk as he slammed his Z-ring.

Incineroar gave off the same smirk as he roared.

"Incineroar! Malicious Moonsault"

The ground where Raichu was lying popped out of the ground with four polls ago popping out. Flame like ropes between each poll formed as Incineroar ran right them and jumped on them somehow.

His whole body glowed a dark aura as he roared and slammed his chest before launching himself into the air and aiming to crash down on Raichu.

"RAICHU! THUNDERBOLT!" Hau shouted desperately.

Raichu despite not being able to fly fired a thunderbolt at Incineroar but once the cat made contact, the whole wrestling ring exploded.

Hau covered his eyes with his arm, Ash looked on, the crowd and staff were eager to know.

Once the dust settled down, it showed Incineroar with a knocked out Raichu over his shoulder.

"Raichu is unable to battle! That means that Hau no longer has any more available Pokemon to battle with meaning, Ash is the winner and is going to the semi-finals!" The ref announced as both Ash and Hau sighed that the battle was over.

Everyone in the upper box sighed that the battle was over.

"Best match yet. They both gave it there all." Kukui added.

Incineroar carried Raichu over to Hau as the Melemele native recalled him. Ash recalled Incineroar as the two ran off stage.


Mere minutes later everyone was waiting outside as Ash and Hau walked out.

The two shook hands and pulled each other into a hug which resulted in back slapping.

"Congratz. You deserve it!" Hau commented with a smile.

"Couldn't have asked for a better opponent? A Malasada or two on me?" Ash offered as Hau laughed.

"Just four now huh… Lemme guess. Our neighbourhood friendly emo is in the semi's as well." Hau joked. He may have lost but was still in good spirts to crack a joke.

"He is still my brother. I don't know yet." Lillie added on Hau's smart remark.

Both the boys were tired and just wanted to get something to eat and sleep.

For the rest of the night, the other results came flying in.

Acerola put up a good fight but Gladion sailed his way in.

Zach was also through too after winning his match.

The fourth spot was to be decided to tomorrow.

All that was now on Ash's mind was the looming battle with Gladion.

And oh boy, was he ready.


Author's note: Wow. Just wow.

A year of Alola to our Saviour. Just wow.

Just wild to see what this little thing I started has become. It's just mind blowing.

Nothing special (Yet) for the 1 year anniversary Lol. I wanted to get either the final or the first USUM chapter out today but I felt Hau VS Ash was screaming out to me to have it out then. Ash's traveling companion throughout the whole story to battle him on the 1 year anniversary of the story.

I would name everyone that has supported me throughout the last year but I don't have the attention span to type everyone's names!

But I don't have to because you guys all know that you are reading this and you all know how much you already mean to me!

So thank you all!

Just before uploading this, this sprung to mind: You guys asked questions throughout the last year.

My turn.

Out of the 55 chapters uploaded as of today (28th 11th 2017 NZ time), what is your favorite chapter and why?

Personally for me, The ultra space chapter. A concept I loved the idea of in SM and so happy they expanded in USUM. I was dying to write it and yeah.

QUESTIONS:

We're nearing the end of such a great fanfiction.

Ending the first half, still have another game to cover Lol.

Guzzlord's homeworld and backstory in Ultra Sun and Moon is horrified as hell.

I know I haven't given my opinion yet on USUM just for the sake of some but I've got to comment on this: Guzzlord was already second favorite beast and after finding that world and learning more about, oh my god! Little things like that make me happy and scared at the same time.

I wish you could update this story faster

Same

Can I ship Hau and Lana now?

Go for it

Which game do you want to get more, Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon? Also, are you going to explain more about Gladion's and Nanu's talks?

I got Ultra Moon and yes, the talks between Gladion and Nanu will be explained more within time.

Will Ash's Type: Null evolve? Will it still be called Silvally?

I something planned :P

Will Ash get Galladeite?

I won't deny it: Yes.

Where's Moon(Selene) or Sun(Elio)? I remember you said something about Moon going to travel with Ash in one of the previous chapters.

Sun I don't believe I made mention of and the whole thing with Moon/Selene was scrapped in the end due to reasons.

Will any mythical Pokémon make an appearance?

Yes. I'll give a hint on who will show up first: Electricity.

What are your thoughts about netflix creating a pokemon live action movie?

Going to be interesting but I'll give it a shot. I didn't actually know the detective Pikachu was going to be on Netflix's (Learn new things each day)

Which is your favorite legendary pokemon of all time? On that note, which is your favorite mythical?

My favorite Legend: Dialga due to Diamond being my first game so I have that connection.

Fav 3rd Legend: Necrozma. I already loved it before USUM due to the potential it had and oh boy, Oh. FUCKING. BOY. Again, I'll give USUM review soon but I have to say this: That fucking battle theme oh my god.

Fav Mythical: Genesect. Got it on accident and has been a bro since.

Got to say, this story is just a delight. I'm recovering from some intense back surgery

Glad I can help pass the time :D

Every time I read your story I jizz myself is that normal?

Depends. If not, you should probably see a doctor or wait till the next upload to see if it happens again lol.

SO one year on. Still gotta finish this half and then another game to cover! SO as you've heard for the last year, review, suggest or PM me! Spectre out!
