I don't own Pokemon or the idea of this story which I got from Captain Buggles. I just own my OCs.
TMs will exist in this universe but instead of replacing older moves I will just add to the list like TM02 is still Razor Wind but Headbutt is TM57. I will put a list of TMs in this universe on my profile and I'll just make the HMs TMs as well and I forgot to mention this earlier Ash can carry nine Pokemon on him.
Ashley catches a Zangoose and Chimchar overcomes his fear of them while Ash's Cacturne learns Drain Punch. Ashley trades his female Aipom for Dawn's Buizel and Ashley trades Dusclops holding a Reaper Cloth and he evolved into Dusknoir respectively. Lastly Ashley trades her Machoke and he evolves into Machamp. At Mount Coronet Ash's Magneton evolves into Magnezone and Brock's Nosepass evolves into Probopass. Finally Ash's Luxio and Aipom after learning Double Hit evolve into Luxray and Ambipom respectively.
Dawn and Aipom are training for the Solaceon Contest. During the training, they use Focus Punch in fast succession to make it look like Aipom has two tails. Brock tells her that is actually Double Hit and Aipom is close to evolving after that move. Kenny appears and tells her it is Ambipom. He was a bit surprised that she didn't know what Aipom's evolved form was and calls her Dee Dee. Ashley asks why he calls her that, but Dawn insists him not to go there. Ashley decided to finish their battle in Floaroma Town, but Kenny declines, saying he was going to see Dialga and Palkia.
Meanwhile, at the Solaceon Ruins, Saturn and the two grunts enter the ruins for unknown purposes. Saturn sends out his Bronzor to use Flash to guide them through the ruins. Ash and his friends decide to go follow Kenny. Kenny offers to battle right now, right in front of the Dialga and Palkia statues. Ashley, however, thinks about it for a moment, and says that it would be a bit creepy for them to battle with Dialga and Palkia staring at them nevertheless thinking it would be a great idea. Ashley and Kenny don't know who should go first, which causes Dawn to bring out her Pokétch App, the Coin Toss. Kenny is extremely jealous, which causes Dawn to tease him that he doesn't have one.
Once the Coin Toss is done, it is decided that Ashley goes first. Since Ashley thinks Kenny is going to use Prinplup again, he sends out Grotle, insisting that Pikachu should relax. Kenny, hearing this prediction, instead sends out Breloom, which surprises everyone, especially Ash. Dawn bets Kenny sent out Breloom to focus more on showing off the moves than attacking. Ashley starts the battle with a Tackle, which Breloom tries to dodge, but isn't fast enough. Kenny is surprised at Grotle's speed and Ash orders Grotle to use a Razor Leaf attack with Kenny countering with Mach Punch. As Mach Punch always is the first attack, this gets to Grotle before Grotle can attack. Ash orders Grotle to use Bite and Kenny then orders an Energy Ball, which Breloom begins charging up. Dawn remarks that it's beautiful, and was right in thinking that Kenny would pay more attention to how the move looks.
The attack is then fired at Grotle, who, despite its speed, is unable to dodge, and the Energy Ball explodes. Ashley is impressed by this move, and asks Kenny to teach it to Grotle. Kenny thinks about it for a moment, and then says something about the move Bullet Seed, saying that if Grotle knows it, it'd be easier to teach Energy Ball. After admitting that Grotle does know Bullet Seed, Kenny says it will be difficult, but says he'll teach it to Grotle if they defeat him in a battle.
Saturn and his henchmen are in a room full of Unown inscriptions. The three of them put in the Splash Plate, Iron Plate, and Draco Plate, which causes the center to glow. Suddenly, all of the Unown inscriptions become real Unown. After a while, Saturn says it's nice to see Team Rocket again, which causes Butch to say they got busted. Saturn then talks of the new world they are going to create, as a box lifts from the ground. He then takes hold of the box, which angers all of the Unown and causes them to attack. Saturn deflects them with Bronzor's Confuse Ray and him and his grunts go off.
As Ash and Kenny are still arguing over Grotle's Energy Ball, the ruins start to glow red and lift, including the stairs, which Dawn was sitting on. Dawn gets confused and nervous as the stairs lift fully, and her Piplup begins to fall off. Aipom tries to hold Piplup up, though her strength isn't enough, and Piplup and Aipom tumble down the steps. Dawn, worried for her Pokémon, jumps off to save them.
Ashley, Latios, Brock, and Kenny get worried for Dawn as the place becomes engulfed with red energy. Confused, the three of them look around. Ashley and Brock are completely calm. Kenny, on the other hand, is nervous and sweaty as he sees the red walls moving by themselves. Ashley gets confused as to why he's scared, and Kenny returns those confused feelings, wondering how she's is not scared. Ashley says that if the Trainer is scared, think about how the Pokémon will feel, which brings back Kenny's confidence as the three of them head into the ruins to look for Dawn.
Dawn manages to find Piplup and Aipom, though they are still confused as to where they are. They go forward, attempting to get out, however the group of Unown, who are zapping them despite them not taking the special cube. They all attack at once, leaving Dawn clueless, however her Pokémon help her with Swift and Bubble Beam, respectively. Because of this, the Unown suddenly snap out of their confusion and turn the place back to normal. However, Dawn still doesn't know how to get out, and it still looked really weird up ahead.
The scene turns to the other three being attacked by Unown. Brock explains they must have been confused. Ash's Pikachu and Grotle then proceed to attack them with Thunderbolt and Bullet Seed while Kenny's Breloom and Prinplup attack them with Energy Ball and Bubble Beam which snaps the Unown out of confusion, turning the place back to normal. Then they continue searching for Dawn.
Dawn who keeps on running, and encountering Unown. Piplup uses Whirlpool to snap them out of confusion. Then Team Rocket show up falling down from the nearby stairs. Another group of Unown appear but they are stopped by Aipom's Double Hit who then evolves into Ambipom. Then, she hits the Unown with Swift snapping them out of confusion.
The other three show up and due to Unown's illusions each side sees each other as they are walking on the ceiling. Another group of Unown appear but they are snapped out of confusion by Piplup's Bubble Beam who convinces them to return everything to normal. As the illusion lifts off, it is revealed that Dawn and Team Rocket are actually on the ceiling and fall down on the floor. The other group all rush to catch the falling humans and Pokémon, with Brock using Happiny to help with her massive strength. Thankfully everyone is caught safely, and Ash congratulates Ambipom on her evolution. Kenny agrees to teach Grotle Energy Ball, on the condition that Ash doesn't tell Dawn how scared he was.
