ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 63 - Dulse VS the world.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
Everything was white.
Ash's eyes flustered open as he looked around in the environment he was in.
He looked down to what he was standing on, an angelic glass like floor that looked to shatter by a mere footstep.
The area was white with colourful glass like shards floating around.
There was no sound. There was nobody.
He was alone…
Or so he thought he was.
"Hello?" Ash called.
He looked at the floor and gulped.
Stepping forward, the panel behind him shattered just like that.
He freaked as he thought he was going to fall into what appeared to be a never-ending abyss.
But the glassy remains of the floor behind him just floated there as if it was waiting to be put back together.
Ash didn't like the idea he had but stepped towards it as the floor instantly reformed.
The Kanto born had no clue if this was a dream or not.
"I have been awaiting you, chosen one…"
The voice echoed around the barren land as Ash was put on edge.
"There is no need to be alarmed for I am a friend. Come towards the light."
"Who are you?"
"I have been watching you for many years now and finally decided you were the real deal…"
Ash walked forward but the light started to shine to bright.
"It appears your female companion and mate is starting to awaken you. No matter. We will talk again later…"
"Wait!? No! Who are y-"
Ash's eyes just opened. No recoil, no paranoia, no nothing.
He realised he was drench however as Greninja stood over him.
"Ash?" Lillie said as Ash slowly got up. "Dinners ready but you wouldn't wake up. Not even when Greninja sprayed water all over you!"
Ash looked at her confused.
What ever that was knew Lillie was trying to wake him up.
"Uh… I don't know. Guess I am just a heavily sleeper?" Ash suggested.
It was some ridicules hour in the morning after there adventure at the school.
Lillie wasn't buying it, but it wasn't worth the argument.
"Well, dinner is ready." Lillie told him as everyone left the room except for Greninja and Ash.
"Could you hear it too?" Ash questioned.
Greninja gave a puzzled look, not knowing what Ash was on about.
Ash sighed and got changed.
He walked out and found Poipole asleep, snuggled into the Christmas hat Hau gave him.
Ash got himself the plate Lillie served as he was still troubled by the so realistic dream.
"Maybe it was just Gengar playing a prank?" Ash suggested.
"Ash. Gengar was with us the whole time." Lillie told him as she began to eat.
Ash sighed as the pair ate away at the feast during the early hours of the morning.
Zossie went straight to sleep.
But Dulse studied every little piece of information they had gathered.
There was a picture of Lillie along side a Cosmog as Dulse found this the most interesting.
And again, as a Cosmoem and then finally as Lunala.
The so-called champion of Alola also had the same pictures.
There was a document about there adventure to the Ultra Deep sea or also known as The sea of void.
The older man looked at his companion fast asleep as he threw the files on to the table.
Sighing he concluded.
"We are striking tomorrow. I don't care what she wants to do." Dulse told his Toxicroak.
"Cro…" The ghost fighting type croaked.
Dulse smirked.
"Question is…" He muttered as he turned to the window to see the blistering moon shine upon them. "How much damage can I cause…"
Little did Dulse know Zossie was listening to the whole thing as she held back the tears that this was all soon going to be over.
They young couple only got a few hours sleep when they received a disturbing phone call.
"What…?" Lillie muttered in complete shock that fully awakened her.
The principle arrived to find the Janitor drugged out and barely breathing along with her office completely trashed.
They were the only ones there though…
Or so they thought they were…
The Principle went on to explain that the Janitor had been taken in to the Aether foundation on request.
Lillie had no clue why her older Brother had interest in the man, but it must have been important.
The drugged janitor's eyes flickered open as Gladion and Jack to the side.
"Whe-where am I?" the man muttered.
"You're in the Aether foundation. I am the president, Gladion. You were attacked last night and noticed it was no ordinary attack. What was used to knock you out was an unknown drug, though tests show it isn't deadly. Do you have any recollection of the events?" Gladion questioned.
Clark the janitor tried to remember the events but it all happened so fast, it returned to him in the form of a headache.
"Sir. We need you to think hard. We believe who or what ever attacked you is linked to multiple other crimes which involve child abduction and assault." Jack told the man.
He suddenly felt a sharp needle be injected into his neck.
He wasn't a small man, so he gave a struggle before being thrown at the wall by Dulse.
Before passing out, he got a quick glimpse of his attackers.
"H…'s out. T…. is the ro…m?" The male questioned to the younger girl with bright ginger hair.
He finally passed out.
"There was two… Two people. A male and a female." The man explained.
Gladion gave a serious look as this started like the story he heard from the young child.
"The male was older, and the girl was young… Between 10 and 14 maybe? She had bright ginger tied in braids. That's all I remember…"
Gladion and Jack left the room with the young president having a conflicted look on his face.
"I need time to think." He muttered as he placed his fingers on his temples.
He rushed to his office and locked it, heading right to his chair.
None of this made any sense.
The only connection was kids due to the abduction of those 4 kids, the two reported about spacemen were paedophiles and now the events at the school.
He slammed his desk in frustration as a stack of papers fell everywhere.
"Fuck." Gladion cursed.
He heard a knock on the door and shook his head.
"What!" He grumped.
"It's just me." Dawn yelled behind.
He shook his head as he unlocked the door and opened.
"I'm busy." He hissed as he was about to slam the door but Dawn got her foot in the way to prevent it from closing.
He let go as she entered.
"You need to relax a little." Dawn stressed her concern.
"I am perfectly fine." Gladion yelled.
"You are yelling." Dawn told him.
"Listen. I don't have time for this. We have a serious case occurring right now and I don't need your input." Gladion explained.
"Get Ash then."
"No. He is busy."
"Then let me help!" Dawn pursued.
"If my sister find you anywhere near him, you are getting bitch slapped to the next dimension!" Gladion roared.
He was getting frustrated from the talk and kicked at a cabinet which caused more papers to scatter across the wall.
A photo floated towards foot as she picked it up and examined the picture.
"Who is this?" She questioned as she had never seen anything like it.
"Who is what?" He said snatching the picture away and examining it before going ghost pale.
Dawn noticed this.
"What?"
Gladion dived to the papers scattered on the wall, in dire search for something.
He found the file and threw it on his desk as he rushed up. Dawn watched in pure confusion.
"That's it!" Gladion yelled.
Dawn walked beside him despite his best efforts to not let her see the highly classified file.
"The Ultra Recon Squad? What is that?"
"Those kids were deprived of light just like there world. The reason why the reports say spacemen people. The reason why that drug was unknown because it's not from here!" Gladion announced as the simple photo solved everything.
Dawn looked at again.
It showed Gladion's father and a man with grey skin in a space like suit shaking hands.
Persian slashed at the Cacturn as the grass dark type fell in front of criminal trainer.
Nanu walked towards him.
"Let's make this easy kid." He muttered but his phone started to vibrate.
"Persian. Make sure they don't go anywhere."
He saw the caller ID as Gladion.
"Yo." He muttered as he placed a cigarette in his mouth as his partner stalker the criminal.
"Nanu! I think the Ultra Recon Squad are here!" Gladion announced.
The cigarette fell from Nanu's mouth.
"What?"
Gladion explained as Nanu soon started to take the situation more serious.
"I'll be there shortly."
The Kahuna of Ula'Ula turned to the young man he was meant to arrest.
"Listen Kid. You get today off. Just don't do this again." Nanu muttered as Persian walked beside him as the left.
The criminal stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
Lillie arrived at school and sorted her room out as Zorua was still trying to escape away.
"You're not leaving." Lillie said with a groan.
"Ru!" Zorua barked as Lillie returned him to his ball.
Zossie entered the room 20 minutes early and went to her desk.
Lillie realised she was here extremely early and had glassy eyes.
"Zossie? Are you okay?" Lillie expressed her concern as she was here so early.
The ginger looked up and rubbed her eyes.
"Fine." She muttered.
"You can tell me what's up. I am your teacher after all…" Lillie told her.
"Brother is mean…" She muttered in her broken English.
Lillie sighed.
"I didn't have a brother for 3 whole years Zossie. I never stopped thinking about him and when reunited, I always knew he was there. He is probably concerned for you in this new land." Lillie told her.
She nodded.
She soon realised she needed to go to the toilet. She had time to kill so headed off straight away.
Walking out, she saw what horrified her.
It was Dulse's Zoroark in his preferred human form.
He tipped his hat at Zossie and walked off.
She began to breath heavily as Dulse was here.
He showed no interest in the school unless it was for business reason…
All of a sudden, she didn't need to go toilet anymore.
Underneath her was yellow puddle.
Despite her pale skin, she erupted red as kids around laughed and mocked her.
Henry lead the cry.
"HAHAHA! Look she pissed herself!"
"Hehehehe!"
"Ha-ha-Haaa!"
The laughing was the least her issues.
What played on her mind was where was Dulse.
Lillie stepped out to find what the commotion was about.
"That's enough! Everyone to your class rooms now!" Lillie announced.
"Come on. We'll get you cleaned up.
"Zossie Er'utey to the principal's office. Thank you!"
Lillie sighed.
"Let's go."
Ash couldn't get back to sleep so decided to watch some Mantine surf when he got the phone call.
"Hello?"
"Ash, it's Gladion!"
"Yeah, I know. Caller ID remember or is it too early in the morning?" Ash joked.
"ASH! The whole of Hau'oli city is danger! I need you to get Lillie ASAP! Nanu is on his way now!"
Ash froze.
He knew when to joke around Gladion, but he could hear the full seriousness in his voice.
"On my way!"
Ash got changed and made his way to the school on the back of Silvally with Greninja running beside them.
Lillie knocked on the door of the princeples office as Zossie stood behind her.
The young girl looked to the side and saw a 'man' walking towards them as broken door to the office opened.
Lillie walked in with Zossie as the principle Lorean sat there motionless.
"Lorean?" Lillie questioned as Zossie became nervous.
The body went limp as he head smashed on to the table.
"LOREAN!" Lillie screamed as she rushed to her side.
Thankfully she was still breathing but felt a dark and cold being stand behind her.
Out of the root of the shadows, Toxicroak rose out of them.
Lillie had never seen a Toxicroak like that before.
"Cro…" The Sinnoh pokemon croaked deathly as it approached her.
Lillie was about to run but the man walking down the hallway walked in and soon transformed into his true form, that being of a Zoroark.
The two-stood next to each other and grinned at Lillie.
"Zossie! RUN!" Lillie yelled as she made a sprint.
Zossie didn't budge as she didn't have the courage to battle with her companions pokemon walking passed her and into the hallway.
Lillie ran to the end and was about to turn right when she saw a fit man walking towards her with his arms spread out.
Kids was pressing hard up against the lockers and walls as they tried to squirm out of the way of the frightening figure.
"Don't run." He hissed. "I just want to talk…"
Lillie did the opposite and sprinted away.
"Hm. Gunna be like that huh?" Dulse muttered as Zoroark and Toxicroak stood next to him. "No matter. I like the hunt any who."
He began to sprint with his pokemon splitting up as well.
"MOVE! MOVE!" Lillie screamed as Dulse was hot on her trail.
Appearing out of the shadows again was Toxicroak.
To her left was Zoroark
And directly behind her was the man.
She was cornered and pressed up against the wall.
"Stay still and this will all be over."
Lillie was in tears as she frantically tried to pull out her pokemon.
A second sprint could be heard as footsteps tapped at the ground.
Zossie slid in front of Lillie to block her from Dulse.
"DULSE! That's enough!" Zossie screamed. "We can be better than this!"
"Zossie, move." Dulse hissed at the young girl who stood strong and brave.
Dulse shook his head.
"Fine then."
He grabbed her by the neck despite her screams and threw her aside as Toxicroak slammed his fist into Lillie's chest as she fell to the ground in pain.
Toxicroak scooped her up in his arms as Zoroark picked up Zossie.
The three pushed aside all the kids, regardless of the age and made there way out and to the forest.
Mere moments later, Ash arrived in through the front door.
Ilima rushed to him.
"ASH!" The former trial captain yelled.
"Where is Lillie!?" Ash questioned but soon saw the face on Ilima.
"Gone! Some man arrived and took her and a student. He had a Zoroark and a some different type of Toxicroak!"
Ash's heart sank all the way down as he began to become flustered.
He shook it off and composed himself.
"Where did they go?" Ash questioned.
Ilima pointed to the backdoor of the school as Ash ran that way with Silvally and Greninja, ignoring the cries of 'the champion is here'.
He had only one thing on his mind.
"They couldn't have gone far…" Ash muttered as released Decidueye and got on the back of Silvally.
He messaged Gladion the details as they rode off into the forest, now with the aerial view thanks to Decidueye.
Nanu had gotten a private jetboat to get him to Melemele in such short time.
Gladion had Dawn with him despite the circumstances as they three were driving along the main road with Nanu speeding away.
Gladion received the message from Ash and read it.
"They've headed into the forest behind the school. That means they should be at the Maholo river." Gladion announced.
Nanu started to speed even faster than before.
Dawn sat there not having a real grasp on what was going on but understood something serious was up. She also knew she probably should have stayed at the foundation.
She sank into her seat and looked at the window as this day started to really heat up.
Lillie began to gain energy back as she tried to free herself from the clutches of this people.
"Let her roll." Dulse commanded.
"Crok…" Toxicroak croaked as he dropped Lillie and kicked her down the hill.
She tried to stop but kept rolling and rolling as she hit herself on rocks and tree's along the way which she failed to grasp on to due to the momentum.
She landed in a small river head first and gasp for air as her whole body ached in pain as she tried to scamper away.
Dulse, Zoroark and Toxicroak carefully got the side of the small river and noticed Lillie fleeing slowly away.
Zoroark dropped Zossie who had regained conscious but was still very wary.
"You stay. You, with me…" Dulse muttered.
Zoroark walked ahead of Dulse and picked up Lillie for him only for him to close line her to the ground again as she coughed away.
He grabbed her collar and held it tight with Lillie slapping away at her.
"Wh-who (cough) are you!?" Lillie screamed.
Dulse chuckled.
"A freak."
He slammed her head underwater with her not prepared as she sucked in a lot of water.
Dulse lifted her out as she began to cough terribly.
"Better question: How did you get to the Ultra Deep Sea?" Dulse questioned.
"(Cough)(cough) Wh-what?" Lillie muttered as Dulse grabbed her by the air and pushed her face underwater again but pulled her up again only to chuck her down again.
"You heard me. The Ultra Deep Sea or the Sea of void." Dulse hissed.
Lillie thought back and remembered the barren world of the Ultra Beasts.
Lillie cried and whimpered away as Dulse kept a straight and emotionless look.
"Dulse…"
The purple haired man turned to find Zossie now conscious.
"Please…" She muttered, still feeling the effects of what happened before.
Dulse shook his head and was about to slam Lillie's back underwater until a bright green arrow flew right by him.
He stood up to find a Decidueye glaring and aiming at him.
Ash, Silvally and Greninja soon arrived.
Ash saw the state of Lillie and glared right into the hollow soul of Dulse.
"You are going to pay for this…" Ash muttered.
Dulse shrugged.
"You don't look so tough, champ." Dulse taunted.
"Please… Run…." Zossie muttered.
However, if things went even worse for Dulse. A police siren rang around as the car pulled up with Nanu and Gladion jumping out from up above of them and slowly made there way down with guns in hand.
Dulse saw this and placed his hands to upwards.
Dulse smirked.
"You Nanu?"
Nan didn't answer as Ash and his pokemon, Nanu and Gladion surrounded the man with Lillie crawling to the side.
"Silent treatment huh? This will make you talk. Now!" Dulse taunted.
Out of nowhere, Zoroark slammed his claws at Gladion and Nanu as they dropped the guns in air with them landing in front of Dulse.
Nanu grunted as Gladion glared.
"Ultra-Recon Squad…" He snarled.
"Calm down. I just want the girl. One less in the world." Dulse told them with his two pokemon now beside.
"That girl is my sister!" Gladion hissed.
"And you are?"
"The President of the Aether foundation. What did you lot have to do with my father!" Gladion demanded.
Dulse thought about it.
"Aether does sound familiar but oh well."
Ash and his crew was about to go into battle when he heard Lillie blow on a flute necklace.
A flash of light appeared as did a portal with Lunala AKA Nebby, flying out of it.
"MAHINA!" She cried as Dulse, Toxicroak and Zoroark stood, stunned at the sight of the best.
Lillie smirked despite the pain and agony she was in.
Dawn looked through the police car window and saw the Moon like being appear.
Landing closer to the ground, Nebby's wings flicked up a small wave which crashed into Dulse.
"That's how I got to the Sea of Void!" Lillie screamed.
"You touch my trainer, you deal with me"! Nebby threatened.
"Du-Dulse p-please!" Zossie croaked in pain as she was needing medical help. Zossie might have grabbed her neck a little do hard.
He stood back in amazement as the being of the Moon floated there.
Dulse groaned as he could do nothing against a legend.
Nanu came across and cuffed him up as he and Zossie were placed in the criminal escort crew section and would be taken back to Aether for further questioning.
Ash hugged Lillie who was in a world of pain.
Dawn wanted to go out but saw the pain on Ash's face as sank back in her seat and awaited another day.
"You should have called me earlier." Nebby insisted.
Lillie shrugged her shoulders on what she could have done.
Nebby took the pair back to the house as Lillie was now really feeling the effects of the injuries.
They have a private doctor living here so he will assess Lillie and then decide what to do.
Ash opened the door to find the main room covered in feathers from pillows.
Both Ash's and Lillie's faces dropped as Nebby looked inside.
Poipole floated out of a pile of feather, covered in them due to the glue that was oozing out of the needles.
"Poi-Tzz?"
"I can't leave you alone, now can I?"
(Elsewhere…)
"Captain Phyco!" A man announced.
An older man with a handle bar moustache sat down on a chair and perked up.
"What."
"It is about Dulse and Zossie. They have been captures!" The man told the figure know as Captain Phyco.
He smirked as a tall blue haired lady stood up next to him.
"Your thoughts?"
"Zossie is following the plan exactly. Dulse charged right in.' Phyco announced
He turned to a picture of the young squad member.
"No worries. I'll deal with them later…"
Author's note: Again, so sorry for the lack of updates, Short but next time will be longer.
Bright part is I am now on holiday so will have a lot more spare time to write :D
So Dulse and Zossie have been caught by the Aether foundation. That will bring interesting thing to play I am sure of it.
And What was that dream at the start?
Off topic but I tend to get asked a lot who my favourite UB is: I would have said Kartana but my boi Stakataka now exists.
QUESTIONS:
Where's Gary? Is he living in Alola?
Yes he is still around, just haven't gotten to him yet.
Will Ash reacquire Charizard, Squirtle, Pidgeot, Butterfree and Primeape?
I won't say what but yes, Ash will get back a former pokemon. Won't say who cuz that ruins the surprise.
This is starting to suck balls
I mean, if you actually give me a reason why that would be useful.
Where will the World Championship take place?
:)
Will the friends that didn't betray Ash be on his side or will the traitors lie to them and convince them to be against him?
That's a good question. Things like this will pop up and will be covered regarding more side characters that haven't appeared like EG Ritchie or Zoey ect.
You should have Lillie B-slap Dawn when they meet
I mean, I mentioned it
How excited are you to see Acerola coming up in the anime?
My favorite trial captain and Kahuna both in the same promotional poster? Hell yes! Surrounded by UB's? Double hell yes! Including Necrozma forms? Triple hell yes.
Will we get to see Lillie have her first ever Pokémon battle in the future story?
She had battled... Like twice in a way.
How do you feel about UM, and what was your favorite part of it?
It is the game Sun and Moon should have been. Necrozma, one of the best box mascots to date. That theme is imo the best battle theme in history for me. It really shows the danger of Necrozma, the suffering of it but also the happiness of it as well.
Music was 11/10. Add stuff was great and overall, it gets way to much hate for a solid game.
Why call Necrozma GOAT? Was it a nickname or maybe the reference flew over my head.
I did already clear this up but GOAT stands for the greatest of all time.
So hopefully now, faster updates.
And as always, review, suggest or PM me! Spectre out
