ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 67 - Ultra Space
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
Disclaimer 2: I know this would be Chapter 66 but just to keep in sync with the numbers.
Disclaimer 3: Sorry for the long wait.
Lusamine's recovery had gone steady enough.
Word had already gone out to the press that 'the former Aether President wakes up from her 3-year long coma', trying their best to get the most views.
Zossie monitored her status for the next few days, taking recordings of the Nihilego toxins and their levels.
"The toxins appeared to have dropped form a severity level of 6 to about 2.5." Zossie explained to everyone.
"Which means?" Gladion questioned.
"Well, if they drop below 2, that would mean the toxins and effects will have died off for good." The ginger explained further.
Lillie took a sigh of relief.
Some normality had been restored back into her family's life…
But a whole new can had been opened upon the reveal of what truly happened to their father and this Necrozma being.
"This thing sounds like a real monster if you ask me." Gladion told the ginger.
Zossie sighed.
She had a pondering question within her head.
"So what now?" She blurted out loud.
Gladion turned to her with a raised eyebrow.
"What do you mean, what now?" Gladion responded.
Zossie sighed again and stood up.
"Well, Dulse and I have technically been arrested for what we've done." She said.
Lusamine raised an eyebrow herself.
"What do you mean?" She said.
Gladion explained everything.
Lusamine frowned at her son and then turned to the young girl.
"I think after everything she has done for us, she can be let go." Lusamine said.
"You may be my mother, but you are no longer the president of the Aether. I make the calls now." Gladion told his mother.
"Well, I am up and running again and as Aether rules follow- "Lusamine started.
"I make the rules now as well and I say she stays here!" Gladion snapped slightly.
Zossie sweat dropped and tip toed to the side. Silvally watched as well and sweat dropped as his trainer argued with his creator.
At this point, Lillie walked in to find the two arguing. She noticed Zossie to the side.
"What's going on here!?" She yelled as her two remaining relatives quickly turned to her.
"Uh…" They both stuttered.
"We have just been reunited as a family for the first time in forever and you two are already arguing!" Lillie snapped.
Zossie tried to suggest something but was shot down by a sharp glare from Lillie.
Lillie was about to follow up on the argument until a siren went off which caught all their attention.
"What's that?" Lusamine said confused.
"You don't know?" Gladion questioned. "Oh right, you were in a coma whilst I was preside-"
"GLADION!" Lillie yelled.
He rolled his eyes as the four headed to the command room.
Ash, Wicke and Hau were there waiting with Aether employee's racing around. The three were staring off at a large screen as the Aether family and Zossie entered the room.
"Preside-"An employee started only to notice both Gladion and Lusamine. "Uh, Presidents! We are receiving an unknown call from a number that cannot be identified."
Gladion raised an eyebrow and went and looked at it.
It was hardly a number. It was some language he had never seen before as the screen flashed to show a masked man.
"Greeting humans of Earth. I am a spokesperson for the people of the confederation of the Ultra Recon Squad. We are in belief that you are currently holding two of our high-class members in captivity." The being spoke.
Zossie stepped backwards to hide.
"And so, what if we do?" Ash told the masked man.
"Then we wish to have them sent home. We can create a trade if so."
"Uh, what kind of trade?" Lillie asked.
"There freedom for knowledge on the blinding one including a meeting with our top officers."
The room fell to silence. You could hear a pen drop.
"How did you know?" Gladion demanded.
"That is information we cannot share. Do we have a deal?"
Gladion looked at Zossie who waved and then looked back.
"Deal."
As he said that, a large flash from outside shone brightly as a large ship appeared.
Ash was going to ask a question, but the screen had shut off already.
The doors from the ship opened and several people walked out, all dressed in the same uniform.
"That was fast…" Ash muttered as Zossie walked forwards and saluted.
"Commander Phyco is eager to see you two…" One soldiers told the little girl who gulped slightly. Two Aether employees appeared with Dulse as he is handed off to the Recon squad soldiers.
Zossie motioned for Ash and Lillie to follow her on the ship.
Gladion was conflicted as he turned to his mother.
"While I am gone, you're in charge. Don't do anything funny!" Gladion snapped as he followed his sister, Ash and Zossie on to the ship.
The three sat down as Zossie and Dulse sat opposite of them. It was a funny feeling being in metres of each other from the guy that nearly killed Lillie literally a week ago.
"Hello." Dulse said with little care.
The doors closed up as they could feel the ship floating upwards.
ULTRA DRIVE ACTIVATING IN 3, 2, 1!
There was a jolt around the ship as they warped into a created wormhole, sailing off into the depths of Ultra Space.
It was an awkward silence between the 5 as Zossie sat there, wanting to say something.
"So… Why don't we all try to get along and forget about what happened?" Zossie suggested.
Dulse rolled his eyes as Ash and Gladion glared at him.
Zossie sighed as a second warp occurred as the engine started to slow down.
"We… We are here already?" Gladion question.
Dulse shook his head in disappointment as the doors opened to a living nightmare.
The sky was black as no sunshine littered over the world. The buildings were pitch black and almost appeared to be made from crystal. The streets were clean as kids all wore the same clothes with the male's haircuts being the same and the girls being the same as one another as well.
"Welcome to Ultra Megalopolis!" Zossie announced as she stuck her hand out to empathises the world.
"A world with out light…" Ash muttered as he, Lillie and Gladion twirled around and looked at the near seeing view.
"AH! Finally, you have arrived!" An old voice called out.
They turned around to find two figures walking towards them, one being an old man with a large moustache and the other being a tall slim woman with purply blue hair.
The elder man opened out his arms in a welcoming fashion.
"Aha! Welcome chosen one and friends!" The man announced.
Dulse rolled his eyes which the woman caught. Zossie swayed nervously.
"Allow me to introduce myself! I am Captain Phyco, leader of the Ultra Recon Squad and second in command of the people of Ultra Megalopolis!" The man known as Phyco explained as he turned to Gladion. "You've grown up, now haven't you?"
It clicked in Gladions mind that this was the man that came to the Aether Foundation all those years ago.
The woman bowed politely.
"Greetings humans of Earth. I am Soliera, the weapon specialist of the Ultra Recon Squad and trainee coordinator for new entrants into the Ultra Recon Squad." The woman known as Soliera explained.
Zossie saluted followed up by a sloppy salute from Dulse.
"I am- "Ash started only to be cut off.
"Ash, Lillie and Gladion. Yes, we know. We have been following your status since you awakened the beast of the moon: Lunala." Soliera explained.
Phyco turned to the young members of the URS.
"You two are dismissed though…" Phyco said before glaring at Dulse. "I expect to see you at my office Dulse. Soliera, care to show our guests to where they are staying?"
"Yes sir." She said. "Right this way."
The humans of Earth followed the higher up of the Ultra Recon Squad.
"I firstly want to apologise for anything rash Dulse may have done." Soliera explained.
"Nah he was FINE! Only kidnapped some kids, assaulted some men and nearly drowned Lillie" Ash protested.
Soliera sighed.
"Yes. That does sound like him… He hasn't had it easiest of lives." She confessed.
"What do you mean?" Lillie asked.
"You see, Dulse's father use to be the leader of the Ultra Recon Squad before Phyco. He was a caring and generous man. He vastly improved the status of the Ultra Recon Squad and attacks from Ultra Beasts became near null. That was till…" Soliera started only to choke up on her own words.
The three young adults from earth got the picture but she continued.
"A distress call occurred, and we let our guard down." She confessed. "Me, Phyco and the rest of our team went to attend the breach, a swarm of Buzzwole's had somehow gotten in. It was a distraction however. Young Dulse watched his whole family murdered in front of his own eyes as he hid in the closet. He witnessed his father murdered and had to listen to the unthinkable screams coming from his mother and sister. That's when the dark intentions occurred and Dulse made his first kill."
Lillie's heart sunk at the story. It cleared up a few questions she had.
"After that day, he vowed to never be weak again. Despite numerous follow up cases, we are still yet to identify the murder and who sent him."
She stopped and turned around.
"Welcome to your new home for a wee while." She announced as the doors to the giant tower opened.
The four stepped into the lobby where other pale blue people like Soliera were walking around, doing everyday stuff just like humans from Earth would do.
The elevator took them to the 54th floor as the member of the Ultra Recon Squad tossed Gladion and Ash some keys.
"Gladion is to the left. Ash and Lille to the right."
The young couple opened their room and saw a room like never before.
They had a view of the whole city with a tv mounted to the wall the size of a king-sized bed. Under them was a glass panel with fish like beings swimming in the water beneath it.
"Turn fire on." Soliera said with a smirk as the fire place enlightened.
The young couple twirled to the sight.
"A lot of the stuff in here is by voice control. I believe there is a list somewhere around? Anywho, I've got to report back and make sure Phyco doesn't kill Dulse. Zossie will be here soon to give you a little tiki tour." Soliera said before waving good bye.
"This place still gives me the creeps…" Ash muttered as he looked out of the world blanketed in darkness.
Lillie shrugged her shoulders.
"I guess the sooner we learn more about what happened the better." Lillie explained.
Ash wandered around and found the list of voice commands Soliera was talking about.
He thought about it for a moment and clear his throat.
"Never say Never by The Fray." Ash announced as the lights dimmed and music began to play.
Some things we don't talk about
Rather do without
And just hold a smile
Falling in and out of love
Ash placed his hand forward towards his partner.
"Care for a dance?" he asked, trying to be charming.
Lillie giggled but grabbed his hand as they got close to one another and dance slowly to the song with the artificial lights of the alien like city beaming on and off into their room.
Ashamed and proud of
Together all the while
Lillie rested her head on his chest while the still danced around.
"I'm not going to lie; this place scares me…" Lillie mumbled.
"Listen, while I am here, nothing is going to happen to you alright?" Ash assured.
Lillie smiled.
You can never say never while we don't know it
Time and time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go
Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a long kiss with there eyes both closed as Ash lifted her up as they twirled around slightly.
Lillie broke off.
"I love you Ash Ketchum…" She whispered as she placed her forehead on his.
He opened his eyes and began to speak…
"I love you too… Zossie?" Ash blurted.
"I- Wait what?" Lillie blurted out as well as she turned to the door where an awkward looking Zossie was standing.
"Uh… Don't mind me!" Zossie said nervously.
"How long have you been there for?"
"Um. Only two minutes? Sorry if I was being a burden." She apologised as the song stopped. "You do make a cute couple though."
The young couple blushed madly at the comment.
"Well, I've been assigned duty of showing you two around!" Zossie announced.
"Wait? What about Gladion?" Lillie questioned.
"I believe he was getting his own tour. Anyways, this way!" the young girl announced.
She took them on the streets of Ultra Megalopolis as the two humans felt very out of place. Nothing had changed from first glance as Zossie began to talk.
"It is said that the blinding one use to call this world once it's home. But from legend told, it wanted more than this world. It began to suck up the light of many worlds till it was defeated." Zossie explained.
"Defeated by what?" Lillie questioned.
Zossie shrugged her shoulders.
"Nobody knows. But legend says that the being that defeated the blinding one will rise when two hearts are combined in stone."
Ash and Lillie looked at each other.
"And that means what?"
"Beats me." Zossie confessed sheepishly.
"Hey goldilocks!" A male yelled out as the three.
The turned around to find 3 boys and 2 girls approaching them. They appeared to be Zossie's age.
"Ruffiel. What do you want." Zossie said sternly.
"That's no way to talk to your superiors!" The male called Ruffiel barked.
"We are the same age! I'm also sure I am older by like 4 months!" Zossie snapped.
The group laughed at the ginger as a figure watched and listened from the distances.
One of the girls turned to Ash and Lillie.
"You finally got some friends loner?" She hissed as that felt like a shot to the chest to Zossie.
"I uh." Zossie stuttered.
"Why don't you lot just leave, and we won't have any trouble!" Ash threatened.
"And you're meant to be scary? Who is he anyways?" Ruffiel laughed as the group followed in with the laughter.
"Just leave!" Zossie yelled above everyone as she shoved Ruffiel.
He stumbled back a little and gave an aggressive look as Zossie glared back fiercely. However, the male knew exactly how to break her.
"And how is that whore of a mother doing of yours?" he spat out.
Zossie froze as everything went silent around her except for his cold voice.
"I wonder how it is be the daughter of a whore, an orphan and a white screecher all that same time?" He spat as Zossie collapsed to the ground in tears.
Ash and Lillie didn't know what to do. They were in an unknown world so didn't know what might happen if they didn't thing.
"Oh, there we go, not so tough now!" Ruffiel snapped as he kicked Zossie with his group cheering from the back.
That was the last straw for Ash as he was about to go in and teach this kid a lesson, but he was beaten to it by the figure watching from the shadows.
Before he knew it, Ruffiel was lifted into the air by his collar with a pissed off looking Dulse glaring right at him from point blank.
"D-Du-Dulse." Ruffiel stuttered in fear.
He dropped him on the ground.
"Go before I decided to bend something that shouldn't be bent." Dulse threatened as the 5 kids ran off in fear.
Zossie was weeping on the ground until she noticed Dulse.
"O-o-o-oh! Dulse… I (Sniff)-"She muttered.
"Cut it. I saw and heard everything." Dulse told her as he helped her up.
"I'll be fine… I might just head home though…" Zossie assured as she walked off, leaving Dulse alone with Ash and Lillie as the two humans looked at each other awkwardly.
"Uh… So?" Ash tried to break the silence.
"Look. I don't like you but I'm going to have to put up with you. So, let's try and make this work. Dulse." Dulse explained as he stuck his hand out.
Ash shook his hand and then followed by Lillie.
"What was that all about?" Lillie asked with caution.
"Figured you'd ask." Dulse groaned. "Zossie isn't like normal people here."
The three began to walk back but the two humans could sense the fear emitted from the public at the sight and presence of Dulse.
"Being in the Ultra Recon Squad isn't easy. She knows that." Dulse told them.
"Her mother was only 19 when she gave birth. Except her mother was a member of the Ultra Recon Squad and got pregnant on a mission gone wrong… She never knew her father cause well, yeah." Dulse explained.
Lillie felt sick hearing this while Ash got angry at those kids for what they were doing.
"She is half human, half Ultralopian. AKA a white screecher, the most racist and offensive term in our language." Dulse told them. "Her mother died days after giving birth."
That was a kick in the stomach for the young couple.
"She is just good at hiding that emotion away. Something I can't do very well." Dulse snarled at no one in particular.
The young pair went back to there hotel as a few hours passed by before Phyco and Soliera knocked at their door.
"I see you have gotten accustomed to your living conditions." Phyco announced. "There is something we'd like to show you."
Gladion joined them as they walked out on the street.
"How did your day go?" Gladion asked.
"Long."
They walked for a further 5 minutes before arriving at the base of the large tower that beamed over the city.
"Welcome to the heart and pride of Ultra Megalopolis: Megalo Tower." Soliera announced as the two guards standing at the entrance stood to the side with the doors opening. The helmets Phyco and Soliera were wearing had their visors appear as Ash, Lillie and Gladion were handed a pair of glasses.
"Wear these if you don't want to go blind." Phyco told them as they went inside to the elevator.
It went up and up and up before halting at a slow pace.
The doors opened up to show a glow white rock floating in the centre.
"A fragment of the Blinding One AKA Necrozma." Phyco announced.
"Necrozwhat?" Lillie stuttered.
"The figure that sucked your father up is Necrozma. The stone found in Ten Carat Hill all those years ago is also a fragment of Necrozma but in a dried out of light form." Phyco told them. "It however, has lost all its power thankfully and this rock is the source of all the energy in Ultra Megalopolis which we got before it lost said power."
"Necrozma… Is it an Ultra Beast?" Ash questioned.
"We don't know." Soliera responded. "We haven't even seen it ourselves…"
"Indeed, but we are ready for a fight if Necrozma ever appears." Phyco told them. "The real reason we brought you here is to ask, will you assist us in battle?"
The three humans all looked at each other.
Lillie stepped forwards in the surprise of Ash and Gladion.
"If it means taking down the thing that took my father, count me in!" Lillie said with a burst of confidence.
Ash smirked and nodded.
"Count me in too!" Ash announced.
Gladion sighed.
"I'm in." He said.
Phyco shook each of their hands.
"In that case then, you three are temporary members of the Ultra Recon Squad till further notice! We would normally have a presentation and all with our president providing medals and all, but he is currently away on a meeting." Phyco explained.
"Dulse and Zossie will take you on a little trip tomorrow." Soliera explained.
They left the tower with the three humans having one final look at the glowing stone that enlightened Ultra Megalopolis as they departed away.
It was about an hour later and Ash was already in bed about to go to sleep. Lillie was in the shower, cleaning up as he began to doze off into the world of slumber…
Ash opened his eyes to find himself in a familiar white room.
He had been here before as he began to grow cautious of the area.
"We meet again, chosen one!"
Ash twirled around to find the source of the voice. There was a blistering light beaming at what ever direction it was.
"Who are you? What are!?" Ash yelled out, wanting answers.
The being that was talking to him delayed its answer before finally responded.
"Again. Those questions will be answered in due time however, I am here to advise you. For now… Call me your guardian seeker."
This all baffled Ash's mind as he knew he was asleep, but this felt so real.
"The two you are going with tomorrow can be trusted as can the elder two but hear my warning. They will tell you to leave your pokemon for their own safety which is true. But, bring the Ultra Beast with you."
"W-what?" Ash stuttered.
"It will save your life. We will talk again once you have returned from your adventure…"
"Wait! No! I want- "Ash blurted out as he felt the whole room shake as he could hear someone calling his name.
A..a
..As..Ash!
ASH!
His eyes widened up to find Lillie at his side. She only had a towel around herself with her hair still dripping wet.
"You were shaking in your sleep, shouting as well…" Lillie muttered to him in concern as he sat up.
Ash was processing what had just happened.
"I'm… Fine." He mumbled as she stood up.
"Alright then…" Lillie said as she walked back to the bathroom to continue the shower.
Ash rolled on to his side and reflected over the words the 'guardian seeker' told him.
He was getting no sleep tonight.
(The next day)
They woke up to darkness and that was to be expected.
Dulse and Zossie escorted the three humans to a building with suits like them.
They all managed to find a size that fitted as the two members of the Ultra Recon Squad then took them to a dock like station.
"Aright. We are going on something called the Ultra Wrap Ride." Dulse explained.
"Ultra what?" Gladion blurted.
"It's basic transportation for the Ultra Recon Squad to travel to other worlds that are in distress." Zossie explained. "Centuries ago, the only real form of transportation was via the legendary Pokemon, Solgaleo or Lunala. However, we have developed jet like machines that allows travel through Ultra Space."
The thing Zossie was talking about looked just like a jet ski.
"However, one thing we have to warn you is that you are going to have to leave your Pokemon here."
Ash flinched.
"How come?" Gladion questioned.
"It's for their own safety. Ash and Lillie may have fought Lusamine with their Pokemon in the Ultra Space, The sea of void. However, Nihilego only attack when commanded. Other Ultra Beasts will attack on scent." Dulse explained. "They will be well looked after though."
Ash, Lillie and Gladion handed over their Pokemon to a member of the Ultra Recon squad as they were taken away for a day of care.
Ash however, managed to sneak Poipole's pokeball in a back pocket.
Dulse and Zossie got on their own individual ones while Gladion got one to his own. Ash got in the driver's part of his as Lillie sat behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"It's simple! The currents of Ultra Space will lift you, it's just your duty to turn and direct yourself to a wormhole! Clear?" Zossie explained as a artificial wormhole was opened right in front of them.
Before Ash, Lillie or Gladion could respond, they were launched in to the wormhole
(Play the Ultra Warp ride theme)
The launch was rocky as the air suddenly became fresh and pure.
Lillie closed her eyes suddenly due to the surprise launching but when she opened them, she saw the beauty that was Ultra Space.
It was a mix of all the colours you think of when you hear the word space. Purples, greens, blues, violets and so on. Stars sparkled everywhere.
"This is beautiful…" Lillie muttered.
"We may talk some dark stuff about the Ultra Beasts, but this is certainly among the perks to see all this!" Zossie told her.
"We will be going all to the same wormholes so no wandering off! What you need to know is that there are endless realities! So, if I turned left right now, in another reality, I would have turned right! In other words, don't get lost!" Dulse explained. "Prince charming, chose a colour!"
Gladion scoffed.
"Blue!" He yelled out.
"First blue wormhole we find, we enter!" Dulse announced.
They flew for a further 5 minutes when they eventually spotted a blue wormhole.
"Is that one?" Ash questioned.
"Yeah! That's it!" Zossie said as she and Dulse entered it first. Gladion shortly followed.
"Get ready!" Ash told Lillie who squeezed on tight to him.
They entered the wormhole and with a flash of white, found themselves in a water like world.
Dulse, Zossie and Gladion had landed already as Lillie's older brother looked around stunned at the world. Waterfalls defied gravity as they were spewing water from all different angles.
What shocked Ash and Lillie the most was the fact there was Pokemon living here as a Magikarp jumped out of the water but back into it straight away.
"You thought your world was the only one with pokemon in it?" Dulse said smartly.
"Yeah well, that was before the whole endless realities." Ash countered back as Dulse rolled his eyes.
"This is just one of the sub worlds, primarily for water types. No predators live here, just pokemon." Dulse explained.
They got back on their jet ski machines and travelled more into the other words. The red wormhole led them to a mountain like world where flying type Pokemon lived. Lillie claimed she saw a Moltres, but the others weren't buying it to her annoyment.
Next up was a yellow wormhole which took them to a cave like world where pokemon like Golbat and Swoobat were flying around.
They followed up with a green wormhole that placed them in a barren field where pokemon such as Rhyperior and Magmortar were sparring.
The five continued left that world as Dulse cleared his voice.
"I think it's time to take it up a notch!" He yelled out as a white wormhole came into vision. "Follow me."
They all zoomed into it as Ash and Lillie found themselves in a familiar place…
Lillie froze in fear as Ash looked around in shock.
"Welcome back to the Sea of Void!" Zossie explained as Gladion was experiencing this for the first time.
"This room… Is where we- "Ash started to only have the sentence finished by Lillie.
"…Where we battled Lusamine…" She stuttered as the hole where Nebby and Lusamine left was still there as well as blood that was splattered on the ground.
"So, this is where you were taken all those years ago…" Gladion muttered.
"Nihilego's world is awfully beautiful… But it lacks emotions." Zossie told them as she looked outside to see dozens of the parasite Ultra Beast flying around.
"Why don't we check another few out?" Dulse suggested.
Lillie had a nervous feeling in her gut but ultimately nodded.
It was a long process of finding another white wormhole, but they eventually did.
And oh boy was it a surprise…
They found themselves up on top of a large tree with other trees just as big circling them. Below said trees was a small jungle with rivers flowing through them. However, Gladion soon started to notice something…
"Wait… Are those trees… Flexing?" he asked.
Ash and Lillie looked around and noticed them too as Dulse and Zossie began to laugh.
"Welcome to the Ultra Jungle!" Zossie explained.
As she said that, a large volcano erupted in the background as ash and magma spewed out of it.
The humans freaked as Zossie tried to calm them down.
"Relax! That's just a signal!" She explained.
"A signal?" Ash muttered.
"Look down. Just don't fall please." Dulse groaned.
Ash, Lillie and Gladion looked down at ground to find about 2 Buzzwoles standing opposite of each other with a further 10 surrounding them.
They made screeching sounds are each other as the crowd began to roar.
"The world of Buzzwole. You're about to experience your first battle!" Zossie told them.
Another volcano erupted as the two Buzzwoles dashed at each other.
However, they soon stopped as they both began to flex. One pointed its arm in the air and slouched slightly while the other one displayed all its muscles in its flex. The crowd cheered and clapped as the two stopped and went back to position.
"What… What am I watching…" Ash muttered in confusion.
"In other worlds, Buzzwole are very aggressive and will show off their raw strength in violence… However here, they are the goofiest mother fuckers you will ever see…" Dulse explained as the two Buzzwoles went in again for another round. "How about we move on?"
Zossie, Gladion, Ash and Lillie left as Dulse insisted he would catch up. He pulled out a beast ball and threw it towards the Buzzwole below as he took off to catch up with the others.
Appearing out of the beast ball was the Buzzwole he had caught as it groaned from the landing.
They found another one not to long after that hit Ash badly.
It was the world of the Ultra Beast that attacked Pallet town all those years ago.
"This is Xurkitree's world correct?" Ash asked.
They where on top of a mountain that was structured like a Xurkitree as small ones skipped around, trying to be hit by the lighting blasting down from the roaring black clouds above.
On the ground, Xurkitree's of all sizes were chilling in the ground.
"That's right. The Xurkitree that attacked your home all those years ago is an ant compared to what the bastards can grow up too." Dulse told them.
"What do you mean?" Lillie questioned.
"Look over there!" Zossie said as she pointed out to a large mountain.
Or what they thought was a mountain…
"Is that one of them?" Gladion asked.
The two members of the Ultra Recon Squad nodded.
"They can grow triple of that size but won't live an exactly long life. Legend has it that this was one of those legendary sized Xurkitree that died and became fossilized." Zossie told them.
Dulse looked at the time as a bolt of lighting blasted the ground behind him. Ash, Lillie and Gladion freaked how close it was to striking him.
"Urk, there is still a few more worlds to attend but we have to return home either wise I'm going to have Phyco and Soliera yelling in my ears." Dulse grumbled.
They took off and started to head home.
However, 5 minutes of the flight, Dulse got a call from Phyco.
"Yes sir. We are on our way back no-"The purple haired man started.
"Dulse, we have an emergency call from the Ultra Ruins." Phyco said sternly.
Dulses eyes widened as he repeated what Phyco said in his mind a few times.
"Excuse me but what?" He muttered.
"You heard me."
"Sir. I have Zossie and the human trash with me! I can't take them there!" Dulse argued.
The rest of the group looked over at Dulse.
"We don't have time for this!" Phyco snapped as Dulse groaned in defeat. "A portal has opened in the north eastern section of fort 5. A2."
"Got it."
Phyco cut off as Dulse cursed into the air.
"Fucking hell. Alright new plan… Follow me." Dulse grunted as he turned around.
Zossie gave a look of concern which Ash saw but they followed Dulse anyways.
15 minutes had passed as they found a white wormhole but with two rings orbiting around it.
Dulse had a sinking feeling in his gut.
"Dulse! Are you okay?" Zossie called out in concern.
Dulse paused as Gladion began to grow cautious.
"What you are about to see… Is what I mean by endless realities. Let's go." Dulse announced.
They all entered the wormhole and was stunned by what they found.
It wasn't anything like a giant tree jungle or an electric minefield… But building everywhere. Human buildings.
The sky was a murky brown colour with poison like smoke filling the sky inside of clouds. There were buildings toppled over and cars smashed everywhere. Human remains and unidentifiable creatures as well.
They landed inside a building that had its roof collapsed. Webs covered the corners of the building as they stepped on the rocks, only to lift there feet up and find they had left a footprint in the dust.
"Where are we…" Ash stuttered in awe.
They walked outside to the street.
Dried blood had tattooed the ground as large footprints engraved the ground. Cars had been half eaten and vines tangled up and around building that were still somehow standing.
Lillie looked walked a little bit to the left to see a brown, chemical like ocean that looked very familiar.
"Wait isn't… Isn't…" Lillie stuttered and then realized where they were and why it brought such a familiar presence. She covered her mouth and began to break down.
Ash noticed this and grabbed her, pulling her into a hug.
"As-Ash… This is Hau'Oli City…" She mumbled…
Ash paled as he noticed the familiarities as well. Gladion caught as he turned to Dulse.
"This is what you meant by endless realities!" Gladion snarled.
Dulse shrugged.
"Allow me to explain before you decide to bark and snap at me! We aren't in Alola." Dulse told them.
"But… But, that's the Hau'Oli beachfront! And over there is the pier! And there is the school and there is the-"Lillie listed as Dulse began to cough to cut her off.
"Remember! Endless. Realities. This is a world like your world but a world with no Pokemon." Dulse told them.
"What do you mean?"
"Welcome to Ultra Ruins, the most dangerous Ultra Space of them all and once formally known as…" Dulse explained only to pause and then continue.
"Hawaii."
Authors note: (Sigh) I am sorry for no updates at all. I truly am. Every time I go to try and finish this chapter, I'd just lose motivation.
Anywho, here it is. I still stand by my promise of finish this though.
Sorry if its not up to standard as previous chapters but going to try and get back into the swing of things (That sounds like a broken record)
Just a few things I know want to state:
Reviews: I no longer want conversations in the reviews. They are for reviewing the story. Please keep it this way.
Be respectful to one another please.
And yeh.
I don't know to do questions or not this time round but next time for sure. I could edit them in at a later point but idk.
Anyways, as always, review, suggest or PM me. Spectre out
EDIT:
So decided to go through the reviews and I do appreciate the feedback. Will be taking that all into account for the future. Obviously there is stuff I can't exactly say yet cause you know... Spoilers and all that. But I'll be looking into further and in depth more what has been provided and see what can incorporate into it all.
