OSPREY…SWOOOSH
UO: Alright next chapter on the way. Where are my actors
Max: Present
May: I'm here Ash and Misty are finishing their lunch
Brock: I am here. But no Officer Jenny (waterfall tears)
Gabby: Ready to go
Tori: Where's Drew. (Dials his number) okay…okay, alright see you soon. Well he's on his way he said start without him.
UO: (sighs) Fine I can work without him a little while this will focus more on Ash and his girls.
Max: Are Brock and me going to get larger roles soon
UO: Brock probably not until we get to Pewter. Max I am trying to figure out something. Sorry large cast hard to juggle between roles anyway mind doing a disclaimer Max.
Max: UnitedOsprey1991 owns nothing related to Kamen Rider, Pokémon or any video game reference he may use as they are owned by their respective owners save his OCS. He would a billionaire and a better artist. He would also have given me that Ralts that showed up in Hoenn.
UO: Thanks on with the show. Oh and most of this chapter is original content. I try to mix the episodes with my own material. As a result it will probably be longer as there will a larger battle scene and it will be much longer. If you guys can help me for later battles please PM me or review my story. No flames please.

Sootopolis City
It has been two weeks since the battles in Mossdeep city. During that time many things changed. For starters Ash caught another pokémon in the form of a Snorunt. Said Snorunt was a mischievous one as he stole both Ash's and Drew's badge cases. After a long chase that reminded the earth trio of Tom & Jerry they were able to get the badges back. After beating Team Rocket and saving Snorunt, the little ice-type decided to join with the group. That and he kept freezing Ash at every opportunity which made the group laugh. The next thing that happened was May won her fourth contest after beating Harley a flamboyant man who tried to break her spirit by tricking Max into telling him her secrets. After a confidence boost from her boyfriend and her friends she was able to beat Harley and win her fourth ribbon and able to send Harley off reeling. Then Max befriended a Ralts who sensed his psychic aura. Team Rocket attempted to steal the Ralts by disguising themselves and a monster as Ralts' family. But they were eventually able to see through the deception and send them flying. Max promised Ralts that when he became a trainer he would find him again and become its trainer. Now they were in Sootopolis City site of the last gym in Hoenn and quite possibly one of the more beautiful cities the group had seen.
"Wow this city is one of the most beautiful cities I have seen" May says.
"This reminds me of a city on the Mediterranean" Tori said. "Yeah this looks like an Italian city" Gabby added
"FINALLY—OW" "DON'T RUIN THE MOMENT" Drew started then Gabby and Tori gave him a pounding."
"One of these days I am going to get a concussion with that strength of yours girls. Anyway look at the top of the city" Drew pointed out "that looks like a caldera which means this is a volcano.
"VOLCANO!?" Max and May yelled. "You mean this city could be destroyed any second" May said hysterically. "Relax if this volcano was still active the city would not be in the mountain it would be far from the base. This volcano is extinct which means it's not going to blow" Drew said calming the siblings.
"So what's there to do here Brock" Gabby asked.
"Well there appears to be a water show that's being held here" Brock pointed out.
"Oh come on Brock why? We are here for a gym battle."
"No you and Drew are here for the gym battle. It's a water pokémon show I want to see it" Misty said agitated.
"Your girlfriend is right Ash let's just relax and enjoy the show. The gym isn't going anywhere." Drew said and Ash reluctantly nodded. "So Brock where is this show" Misty said.
Just then they heard fireworks coming from their right. "If I am not mistaken it would be wherever those fireworks are" Max said as they started to walk over to the fireworks.
When they got to the stage they saw two men; one had black hair with white tuffs wearing a light blue suit similar to Victorian era clothing. The other man had aqua colored hair wearing a white cap shirt and cloak (their clothes from the game)
"Ladies and Gentleman it is my honor to present the gym leader of Sootopolis City Juan and the former gym leader turned master coordinator Wallace.
The crowd cheered as the two took the stage and released their pokémon. The Milotic, Luvdisc and Sealeo came on the stage in dazzling spectacle.
"Wow. If I didn't know any better I say Juan was a coordinator" Drew said as the girls cheered at the beauty.
Before they could start two separate explosions scared the crowd and sent them fleeing. When the smoke cleared there stood two groups of people one side had red capes and hoods with an M that looked to be carved out of a mountain. They were led by a red-haired man dressed in a more business like attire but still had . The other group looked like pirates with a bones shaped like an A. They were led by a man that looked like a pirate captain with a shaggy beard and a black suit. Behind the leaders were two creatures one that looked like a Camurupt and the other a bipedal Sharpedo.
"Team Aqua and Team Magma this isn't good" Brock said. "On top of that they have a monster whoever is supplying team rocket must have contacted them" Ash said "Darn so much for the show" May pouted. "No time for pondering what could have been we need to get to the stage." Drew said as they fought through the crowd.
At the same time
Juan and Wallace were surrounded by both teams. They didn't know why they were being targeted but they had to show composure.
"So you are the gym leaders of this city. I have heard they guard the chamber to the legendary pokémon Groudon and Kyogre. You two hold the keys to unlocking the chambers. Give us those keys and no one gets hurt." Maxie said
"Heck no they are going to give it to us. Team aqua deserves them. The sea is where the world needs to be and we need Kyogre to do that. With our red orb we will control the seas" Archie called out as Team Aqua rallied behind them
"Preposterous humans need land to live. Groudon will make our dreams a reality. And with Volcorupt here along with the blue orb we will destroy anyone who gets in our way." Maxie retorted and Team Magma cheered for their leader and the monster gave a roar.
"No way Sharkclaw will beat you and your stupid land loving ways." Maxie yelled out.
AIR RENDER (Final fantasy reference)
HYDRO BLAST
THUNDER CRASH
ATHENA'S LIGHT
HOWLING CANNON
BLOSSOM TWISTER
EARTH SPIRE
PYRO SPHERE
Eight attacks hit between the two groups. When the smoke cleared they saw the heroes jump in with Drew, Misty, Brock and Max facing Magma and Ash, Tori, Gabby and May facing Aqua. The gym leaders noticed they were just kids and wondered where the attacks came from.
Tabatha and Shelly (Dub error has it as Isabelle) however growled at the intruders. "You kids again you ruined our plans at the weather institute." Shelly growled.
"You hurt us twice that trick of yours at the institute and then at Mt. Chimney. You really get on my nerves" Tabatha said.
Drew smirked as he was facing Team Magma "Well let's just I have a problem with boneheads that want to destroy the world they give me a bad vibe. I got enough nutjobs trying to blow up my country." He tapped Max on the shoulder and told him to get ready.
"So these are the kids that stopped our plans huh" Archie pondered "They must be pretty strong to force you leave. Hey kids how about you join us together we could rule over the seas.
"Nonsense these kids should help Magma they should realize that land is the most important thing to the world.
"You guys make me sick. I love the water but I care for the land if you truly care about changing this world you would stop this madness. You would see that we suffer more than the pokémon" Misty cried out.
"That's right I like forests and the ocean should stay where it is. There should be a balance between the two." May called out.
"No matter we have you surrounded we will give you kids an ultimatum, hand over the gym leaders to us
"—or be destroyed what is going to be." Maxie finished. The group looked at each other and nodded. Ash just walked over to the gym leaders who looked nervous and told them to relax. The rest of the group started to back up slightly.
"You know my government has a policy" Drew said as he turned towards the advancing groups.
"We don't negotiate with terrorists. MAX NOW!
FLASHBANG BURST
With a blinding flash the villainous teams were blinded and stopped in their tracks. When the flash died down the heroes were gone.
"Grrr… find those brats and the gym leaders now" Archie said
"Spread out and find them we need them alive." Maxie called out as the teams spread out.
Meanwhile far and away from the stage the group was catching their breath in a park.
"Given the amount of time between the flash and the distance we bought maybe fifteen minutes." Drew said. Turning towards the gym leaders "What the heck do they want with you two"
Juan sighed "They are probably after the keys of the storm. They control the doors that keep Groudon and Kyogre contained. Our families have been the protectors of the city for a long time. "As such we as the current and former gym leader control the keys. If the two pokémon were released the whole world could be destroyed" Wallace continued
Brock interrupted "Guys save the history lesson for latter we got company" the group saw Team Aqua goons who immediately spotted them. Team Magma also showed up but they started fighting Team Aqua
"Guys split up each of us will take one of the leaders. Where do we meet up?" Ash said
"Meet up at my house here's the address" Juan said.
"Let's go people remember top priority is losing them and protecting civilians." Drew said and with that they left with Drew, Tori, Gabby and Max going with Wallace and Ash, Misty, May and Brock went with Juan. Both teams sent small groups to chase after him with their leaders and their second in command chasing after him
With Ash's group
Ash and his group were chased into a residential area with a lot of trees. They split with Wallace going with Ash. "We will meet up Juan's house it is in the upscale residential area. Let's go" Ash said as the split up.
Brock was running through the streets looking for a way to get away from the Magma grunts. He looked up and saw flower boutique. He saw the girl manning the counter and went to hit on her.
"Is that the smell of fresh cut roses or is that just you my sweet." While Brock was hitting on the girl named Fiona the grunts ran right by him. Brock finished flirting and picked up some flowers to hide his face and ran towards the edge of the district.
May and Misty
Misty felt a tremor up her spine "Somehow Brock did something that ticked me off. Probably hit on another girl" "He's that predictable huh?" "Yep" May and Misty had run into a park area. When finding a place to hide they decided to hide in a big tree. When Team Magma came in they were spreading out to find them. What they didn't count on was them using Mightyana to sniff them out. "Damn it those dogs are going to sniff us out." Misty cursed. "I've gone an idea Illusion of Blossoms" May said quietly and with a small gust of wind they vanished from sight completely. Team Magma noticed the wind but thought nothing of it as they searched for them. The illusion covered them with the smell of cherry blossoms and caused them to vanish from sigh but they still had to keep quiet as they still could be caught. An unfortunate weakness as just then a lowly Wurmple show up and crawled next to Misty. Misty felt it and turned towards the bug and started to breathe heavily. May covered her mouth, "Misty calm down" "I-I-It's a bug and I-I h-h-hate b-b-bugs." "Misty please calm down." Misty continued to panic and she was getting too loud for May's hand. Team Magma was still near the tree and if they found them they would have to fight their way out something they didn't want to do. May decided on something drastic and kissed Misty. Misty was so surprised she shut up. The Wurmple crawled away and the Team Magma grunts moved from the tree. May pulled away out of breath and Misty put her hand up to her mouth in embarrassment . "Sorry Misty but I had to do something." May said with a flush on her cheeks. "I-I-It's okay May. You had to do something" Misty said looking away. A few awkward moments later they jumped down from the tree. "Let's find Ash and Brock" May said. She started walking away. "Wait" May turned and it was her turn to be surprised as Misty kissed her. When May recovered she stuttered "W-W-What" "Who says Ash is the only one to kiss me. We share our boyfriend why not share each other. Let's just say I was curious." Misty said with a light blush. May smiled with a similar blush. "Come on let's find that knucklehead boy of ours." Misty said with a wink. May nodded and started to run alongside Misty towards Juan's house.
Ash and Juan
Ash and Juan were near some apartments as Tabatha and two other grunts were chasing them. They ran until they made a wrong turn into an alley and were cornered. Ash looked around and tried to figure out where to hide or get away 'Come on Ash think where to go. Darn it I have been in worse situations than this but now my life is on the line.' "I think they went down this way sir" "Find them and bring them to Maxie" They heard Tabitha (A/N stupid name for a guy btw) Ash then noticed a fire escape. Figuring they would have more luck on the roof he ran towards it.
"There they are get them" "Wallace hurry up the ladder I'll hold them off" Ash called out as Wallace climbed up the ladder. "Okay Pikachu let's convince them not to follow us. Thunderbolt on 3 ready" "Pika!" "3…2…1…now THUNDERBOLT" "Pika-CHUUUU!" Both attacks hit true on the converging groups. They manage to knock back a couple and get enough separation to allow him to climb the ladder. When he climbed the escape he pulled up the ladder and continued up the stairs. Tabatha looked and saw Ash getting away. "Damn those kids. They are just asking for trouble." "Sir…what do we tell Maxie" "I will him of our failure. This will not go over well. Fall back to our hideout." The grunt nodded and picked up their fallen comrades.
On the roofs Ash looked behind him and saw they weren't being chased and breathed a sigh of relief. "Good they aren't following us." Ash turned to Wallace who looked grateful for the assist. "Come on I will take you to my house it is on the other side of the park." Ash nodded and roof-hopped out of the area.
With Drew's group
Drew and his group manage to get to a market area with people. The size of the crowd made it easy to get separated. So they would use the confusion to their advantage.
"Split up meet on the other side of the market. If you can knock out their pokémon." The group nodded and started fighting their way through the crowd with Juan going with Drew. Eight Aqua goons followed them and split up.
Tori ran through the crowds as two Team Aqua goons chased her through the market. She came upon a large water fountain. The grunts blocked her path and advanced towards her and released their pokémon.
"Come on girly let's go we don't have all day." Grunt 1 said. "Come quietly and we won't hurt you… much." Grunt 2 laughed. Tori just looked at them with a pissed off expression while fingering one of the pokeballs on her waist. "Really I think I remember saying we don't negotiate with terrorists. "Grr… you will pay for that go Golbat" "Go Mightyana" said pokémon went to attack her. "Heh I think you aqua goons need to cool off" She jump on top of the fountain and waved her hands WATER WHIP" Tori manipulated the water from the fountain and hit the pokémon advancing towards her back at their trainers. "GAHHH" "I thought you Aqua punks like the water good luck catching the rest of us." As she froze the water around them. Tori giggled and danced off of the fountain while the grunts had difficulty standing up.
Gabby
Gabby had wondered into a little children's area. She looked and saw kids playing with their pokémon and play children's game.
"There she is get her" one of the grunt called out. Gabby turned around and saw two grunts chasing her with their Golbats. Gabby looked around 'Come on I need something to knock these guys out but what' she then saw some kids playing with a soccer ball 'Guess this will do' Gabby ran over to the kids. "Hey kids can I show you something with the ball" the kids looked at her and reluctantly passed her the ball. "Let me show you how to curve the ball. First you line up the ball at your target" Gabby placed the ball down "Then you gather up some strength" She gathered up some energy "finally kick it in a way that adds spin on the ball like so NIKE'S STRIKE" Gabby drilled the ball and she sent it flying. It looked like it was going to miss the grunts but then in curved back and hit the Golbat knocking them to the side. The grunts were caught off guard as the Golbat were sent flying into a tree. The ball came back to Gabby and the kids were cheering "Now let me show you targeting. Line up your shot and then control it with your foot" she launched another shot at the left grunt. The ball bounced high enough into the air to set up a finisher and the kids cheering got louder "Finally a bicycle kick you simply turn to the side jump at the right moment and send it flying like so" with that Gabby sent the ball flying into the last grunt. "And those are three basic tips for soccer. Remember eat right, drink milk and exercise and you can be just as strong." The kids were cheering as Gabby ran towards the edge of the fairgrounds. 'When did I become a spokesman for G.I Joe' Gabby pondered as she ran. (A/N: Inspired by Detective Conan. And I was watching the Copa Del Rey Final which is Spain's domestic soccer cup, not league there is a difference, when I made this)
Max
In another part of the market area Max was fighting through the crowds. The crowds were not moving but with his size he was able to slip through the crowds. The grunts following them however had to fight through the throngs of people as it was apparently a busy shopping. "Man am I ever glad I am still small." Max said to himself while catching his breath. He saw they were still chasing him and ran into a nearby shop which turned out to be a candy store. A kindly old lady was manning the store. "Hello young one. May I help you" 'Oh sorry mam, I guess I didn't see where I was going ." "I think he went in there" said a female grunt. "AHHH! Gotta hide, gotta hide." "Hide behind the counter young man." "Thanks mam" "I didn't see you my memory seems to be lacking." Max hid behind the counter as the aqua grunts came in. "Excuse me old lady have seen a boy run through here" said one of the male grunts. "I can't seem to recall. I mean I saw a nice couple, some young girls and plenty of little boys this is a candy shop." "Listen lady I saw a boy run through here and I know you are hiding him" At the same time Max peeked through the brownie trays. 'This isn't good got to get them out of here. I know maybe knock over one of the trays.' Gather a small amount of aura he sent it flying into the trays. The trays clattered around. "What the?" "That's it get out you hooligans." The woman chased the grunts out of the store using her broom. Max chuckled as the grunts were chased out of the store.
"Thank you mam. I am sorry about bringing them into your store" Max said. "That's ok young one." "Please call me Max" "Of course Max. I figure you have other people that they are chasing. "Yeah my friends are in trouble but we are trying to get away." "Then I bet you are hungry here" the woman went around and picked up some fudge and placed it in a bag. "Thank you how much do I owe you." "No need young one, think of it as a gift for your friends. "Thank you mam. I hope to bring my friends over." "Go on young man good luck with the rest of your journey." The woman waved Max off and he ran towards the edge of the market area.
Drew
Drew was out at the edge of the market area and he was already in trouble with Shelly. He had been forced into a pokémon battle with her and another grunt.
"Absol Faint Attack" Absol launched the attack and manage to beat back the Golbat and take out the grunt.
Isabelle growled this was not working out the way they had planned. "Grr… I had hoped to beat you and bring you in. Time for plan B." Isabelle pulled out a net gun and fired at Drew. "If I can't beat you then I better make sure I capture you for blackmail." The net came closer but Drew just smirked.
SLASH The net broke in two and sailed by him harmlessly. "WHAT HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?" "Simple you are only aware of our capabilities with pokémon. We have trained with other weapons for situations just like this. Now let me show you something I have learned. FIRE WHIP the attack connected but did not burn her rather it immobilized her. What…d-did you do to me?" Shelly cried out. "Just a little something to make sure we have the edge." Drew said as he walked towards her. "Nighty-night" with a whack to head Isabelle was knocked out. Drew looked at Wallace who looked impressed. "That was an impressive performance." "Thanks Wallace so now we wait for the others." Wallace nodded and went to sit on the bench. Drew looked at the knocked out woman when he heard his companions calling out for him. 'Well that was fast' Drew thought as he stood up. "Drew are you Ok?" Tori called out. "Yeah no match for me and now we have a prisoner to use against Aqua" "Good let's head to the address Juan gave us." Max said. "Right…uh Max what you have there." Drew said. "Oh I was hiding in bake shop and grunts came in to find me I was able to scare them off. She gave me the fudge for my friends." "Can we have some?" Gabby said. "Oh yeah definitely here you go." The group took some of the fudge and started to eat it and suddenly they stopped eating.
"Max?" Drew said "Y-Yeah?" "You do remember where this shop is right?" Gabby asked. "Yeah." "Good because we need to make sure to pick up some more because this is so good." Max just sweatdropped at their reactions. Drew regained his composure "right let's regroup with our friends." They all agreed and started headed to Juan's house.
An hour later
Drew's group arrived at the house. They stood outside the gates looking at the mansion. "Whoa that is a big house." Max said in awe. "You see one mansion you have seen them all. I personally hate the upper class. Juan is an exception but they just give me a bad vibe" Drew said. "Do you have mansions where you live?" "Oh yeah our town is a worker's town for the most part. You go over to the town next to use there are a lot of high end people. Same with the town next to that one but it's a difference in families" Tori said. "Let's just say our town is more like Oldale Town." Gabby said. "Still nice little house." "Ahh there you are my friends." The group turned towards Juan who was walking up to the mansion. "Come we may not have much time to discuss this" Juan opened up the gate and went inside. "Uh Drew what's with her?" "Just call it a little insurance against our enemies." After settling in and getting drinks Juan began his tale. "First I want to thank you for saving us from those brigands but it may not necessarily matter. You see as gym leader my family and Wallace's family has been guarding this city since time immortal.\
Wallace continued, "Originally the city was on an island similar to Mossdeep. But when Groudon and Kyogre last awoke thousands of years ago the city was nearly destroyed. If it wasn't for the fact that our ancestors were able to force Groudon and Kyogre asleep the city and possibly the rest of the world could have been destroyed. This volcano is the remnants of Groudon's destruction. We originally built the city as a reminder of what happened all those years ago but then it became useful as a defensive position during the warring states period.
"Since the time of our city's rebirth our ancestors have kept watch over the city. The two heroes of legend were in fact a priest and a shrine maiden who fell in love and seal them into two orbs a Red Orb and A Blue Orb. These orbs were separated but they alone cannot awaken them. The doors to the awakening chamber is locked by two keys one given to the eldest child of the couple and one to the youngest. Our families are descended from those two" Juan finished his speech and held up his key along with Wallace.
"Along with the keys there is a prophecy which I fear may come to pass soon" Wallace led them over to a tapestry. It had a Groudon and Kyogre that looked to be fighting each other. There were six human figures off to the side and what appeared to be two large birds one that appeared to be in the sky and one in the ocean. "The prophecy reads Disturb not the balance of land and sea for they will lead to nothing but despair. The orbs of sea and land must not be reunited in the city of ashes for the war will commence once more. The Seas will strike in retaliation of the Land and the world will be swallowed by the maelstrom of the tides. Six warriors from a far will help quell the madness but they alone will not be enough. Only by partnering with the guardians of the sea and sky will the war end. Only through the partnership of land, sea and sky will the beasts be defeated and their slumber ensured."
The room was silent as they contemplated what they just heard. Ash looked up and scanned the portrait. "Wait a second; I have seen the sea pokémon." "What really" "Yeah me and Misty saw Lugia at the Orange Islands it looks like a Lugia." Misty flinched but nodded "I still have nightmares Ash you fell into the sea and nearly drowned" Ash just hugged her as she was shivering. "its Ok Mist I am here" Misty just smiled. "Fascinating that you have seen the guardian of sea but the guardian of the sky remains elusive." Juan pondered "Yeah, however I think I also saw the sky pokémon."
"What really?" Wallace asked shocked.
"Yeah I think that might be Ho-oh. I remember seeing it when I started my journey I haven't seen it since." Ash said while looking thoughtful. "That would make sense in most regions their legendary pokémon seems to be opposite sides of the same force. Groudon and Kyogre seem to represent the land and water. Maybe the two birds represent the sky and sea as well but instead of destruction maybe they represent rebirth. Ho-oh looks like phoenix which is a symbol of rebirth." Drew concluded. "You may be right but let's worry about that tomorrow, you must be tired after an exhausting ordeal. "Thank you Juan." Just then they heard groaning "W…Where am I" "Seems like our prisoner is awake" Drew said. "What do we do with her" Ash said "We interrogate her and depending on her answers we turn her into officer Jenny. Come on I bet you want a crack at her." Drew said and Ash reluctantly nodded. They walked over to Isabelle who was starting to regain her bearings. Ash sat on a seat while Drew walked over to her. "Hello Shelly" "You what did you to me?" "Nothing just locked up your muscles now you have answers we want them." "And if I refuse" "Well I could call officer Jenny and she could have you locked up for conspiracy and other crimes. You cooperate we will work out a deal." "Fine what do you want to know?" "How did you get the orb no one should have known?" "Simple we have a couple of people who know the city's legend working for us. They simply pointed the way which was on Dewford Island." "What do you intend to do with the blue orb" Ash asked.
"Simple control Kyogre and control the seas. Control the seas you control the world." Drew Said.
"What do you mean?"Ash asked
"Simple economics Ash, most of the world is covered by water and most of the trading is done by ship. Control who gets to ship where and you control the world." "That's right. We control the seas and governments will be forced to comply with our words. If they don't, they get to say good-bye to their country. Knowing most politicians they will cooperate to save their people." Ash asked one more question, "Last question Isabelle who gave you those monsters?" Isabelle looked down "Archie paid a lot of money to a shadowy looking man asking for a strong water monster. I remember he was wearing something like an old medieval uniform. He also mentioned something about he wanted to destroy these guardians for his master. "Name" "I think it was Glenn, he had similar powers to you and your friends something called Aura?" "Aura? Ash asked" "Yeah don't know much about that other than they aren't found here. I think Kanto and Sinnoh are the only ones with them." "Thank you Shelly, we will release you tomorrow. For now you are our guest." Drew said as he and Ash walked away leaving her to think. As the pair went to the dining room Ash spoke up "So what do we do with this information." "Well it looks we are far from done in this world Ash. Looks we are headed towards Kanto next after we finish the Hoenn league" "It will be nice to see Mom again." "I bet momma's boy," "Well she's all I had before Misty." "Sorry Ash" "Forget it I never really knew my dad and I don't want to meet him right now."
"That's real mature Ash." Drew said "What can I say this trip is helping." Ash said sheepishly
"Let's not hurry and grow up. My dad is in his forties he acts like he is in his teens." "Good point… Hey Drew." "Hm" "Thanks for everything so far." Drew smiled "We have been through a lot Ash and before this journey is over we will experience so much. Just remember what you fight for," As they entered the dining room they see the girls talking. "Yeah, protect the ones I care about with my life if it comes to it" Drew patted him on the back as Ash walked over Misty and May and gave them a kiss on the cheeks.
Drew walked over to Tori and Gabby and did the same thing. "What was that for?" they asked. "Oh something for being there for me" Drew said. "That's sweet" Gabby said. "What did you talk with Ash about" Tori asked. "Just talking about what we are going to do tomorrow." "What is going to happen?" "Either we stop Magma and Aqua or the end of the world." Drew said in a deadpan tone causing the girls to sweatdrop. "You just casually mention the end of the world what is wrong with you" Gabby said with a similar deadpan. "Just something to take the edge off this is going to be our first big fight" Drew said with a smile. "So shouldn't we be resting up?" "We will, but tonight we dine on the luxuries afforded us for tomorrow we either live to fight or die in a blaze of glory" Drew as he took a sip of his milk while the girls looked at each other worried. "Girls" getting their attention "If the battle becomes too tough I want you to run" shocking them. "What?" they said quietly "You heard me if this battle gets out of hand I want you to run." "No way! We have come this far we won't abandon you at all" Gabby always the most vocal of the trio said. Drew sighed "You're not going to do what I asked are you" "Nope you are stuck with us. Through thick and thin and to death and back" Tori said. Drew just smiled and kissed them causing them to blush. "Alright just be careful." The girls smiled again. After a couple of hours of discussion about tomorrow and other things they went to bed with Ash, Misty and May sleeping in one room out of comfort (A/N: not in the same bed not yet anyway no sexual stuff for a long time plus don't want the sit cracking down on me) while Tori and Gabby did the same with Drew.
Next day on the way to the gate:
Juan and Wallace were driving the young adults towards the gate which was on a mountain. They came up to a closed off path. "We can't go any further my friends by car my friends. Come the gate is about a mile by foot." With that they got out of the trucks and proceeded to walk up the path. The scenery was breath-taking with access to the harbor on one and the rest of the caldera on the other. If it wasn't for the seriousness of the situation they would take in the scenery. After a half-hour of hiking they came across a large white door. It had carvings of Groudon and Kyogre constantly facing each other with what looked like sun in the back ground. In front of the door was a large lake that seemed to be guarding something. "I am not sure of your plans Mr. Smith." "It's simple Juan. You said they need to get the orbs to a pedestal inside the temple to awake them correct." At Juan's nod Drew continued "What better way to attract them then give them what they want an open door. We let Isabelle tell Aqua I am sure there is a spy in their camp they will tell Magma they come up here and we beat them and their monsters. Worse-case scenario we beat the monsters and hopefully beat the legendary pokémon and send them back." "And if that doesn't happen?" "Well let's hope that prophecy is worth something." Juan nodded again and motioned to Wallace and took out their keys. Juan's had a Groudon head on while Wallace had Kyogre's wings on it. They went to opposite side and inserted them into the indentation and turned them until they heard a click. A rumbling was a heard as the doors glowed red and blue. The door creaked open slowly as thousands of years of dust fell off the doors. The doors stopped moving and the rumbling stopped. "Now what?" asked Ash? "Now we wait" said Drew.
An hour passed since the doors opened. The trainers were doing their own thing such as May training her pokémon for her contests with some assistance from Wallace and surprisingly Juan who told them he was once a master coordinator. Max and Drew were doing some kata while Brock was feeding some of the pokémon that were out. Misty was simply resting near the water while her pokémon were playing in the water.
"Swellow" Ash looked up and saw Swellow pointing with his wing. "Alright come on down Swellow. Guys they are coming." The group called their pokémon back and got ready to fight. After a few tense moments Team Magma showed up first. The group looked on as they walked up to them.
"So we meet again kids. I can't wait to tear you apart and your pokémon." The group began pulling out their pokeballs. "Wait Tabitha" Maxie said to his second in command confusing the group. Maxie looked at the heroes "Look children we didn't come here to fight. I believe you are familiar with the monsters me and Archie bought correct. Well the only reason I bought it is because he threaten to destroy my hometown. I was talked into and this is only the second time I have brought him out. The time at Mt. Chimney was to plunge the world into chaos and I am grateful you stopped it" Shocking the group into silence. Maxie sighed "Look if you don't believe me let me give you something to at least let me cut a deal." He motioned to a grunt that brought over a case. "I believe you know what this is correct" He opened the case and inside was the Red Orb. "Here's my deal, let me go to jail and let my subordinates go. In exchange, Volcorupt and my team will help protect the gate, from my spies in my camp Aqua is bringing everyone here." "Commander don't we should share equal blame." "No I only formed Team Magma out of petty revenge. The ocean took my family and I figured no more oceans means I don't have to worry about the dangers of the oceans. I realize I would be killing our world quicker than what we are doing right now." Turning towards the group "So what do you say?" The group looked at each other questionably and Ash and Drew stepped forward. "You will turn yourself in right?" Ash asked at Maxie's nod Drew continued "Alright then you have a deal." Maxie nodded and motioned for Volcorupt to come forward. "You will help these kids guard the gate understood. "Yes master." Drew and Ash turned toward their comrades. Suddenly an explosion occurred. Parts of the mountain came apart forcing many of the grunts to flee and for the group to jump away to avoid the rocks. When the smoke cleared there stood Archie, Sharkclaw and a host of dark troops standing behind them.
The gang pulled out their pokémon. May noticed something "Wait I only see Archie and Isabelle where is the rest of Team Aqua." Archie laughed "Let's just say they aren't around anymore. My employer allowed some of his soldiers to possess my men. You can see the successful results they are the new breed of humanity. " The group's widened "You Bastard" Brock cried out "How could you do this to humans to your own men" Misty yelled. "They were people why did you do this" Max cried "Hehehe, I no longer need them when I am so close to my goals." The group looked furious. However, Drew was quiet. Tori and Gabby noticed and paled slightly. Drew had a quick temper if he was holding it in then he was really mad. "Drew easy there" "No need to get upset just calm down" "We will beat them just keep a cool head" Gabby and Toru tried to reason with him. "Hahahaha what's wrong little boy where's your bravado from earlier." Archie laughed. Drew took a deep breath and pulled out his phone causing his belt to appear. Drew pressed the lion faced button.
STANDBY LEO
Drew gathered energy in his left hand while holding his phone in his right crossed in front of him "I wasn't scared you bastard I was trying to calm myself from making a mistake. Now that you have shown your toys now let me show you mine. HENSHIN" he called out swiping across the phone.
COMPLETE
Kamen Rider Zodiac appeared after the flash died down. "I am prepared to fight to make sure this world is saved. If it means destroying people who lost their humanity then so be it." He turned towards the group who was shocked at his words. "Do not hesitate. They made their choice. If you hesitate you will die. If this were a larger battle you will die. I know you don't like killing they are not human anymore. Please fight alongside me."
"HAHAHAHA, you weaklings are you scared. My troops will decimate your pokémon and we will take Kyogre and rule the world.
Even the more reluctant fighters in group nodded and pulled out their belts
"For our friends" Ash started pulling out his card while Pikachu stood next to him
"For our families" Misty picked up as her belt materialized
"For this world" May continued as she attached her card to her belt
"We fight for humanity" Tori added on pulling out her Sirius card
"Because we are" Gabby finished as the belts began sending pulsating sounds as they took their stances while Gabby and Tori's yelled out their noises
KAMEN RIDE/ORION
"KAMEN RIDERS!" They yelled as one "HENSHIN"
SIRIUS/ORION/EVOLVE
Where six pre-teens stood now stood the their armored forms ready to fight.
"Juan, Wallace get back to town and warn the city to prepare for a catastrophe. Max and Brock you help them." "But we can help please let us help." "No Max this fight is not going to be like the others. The important thing is that the civilians are kept safe understood?" Max nodded and Brock grabbed his shoulder and led him away. "Right Let's go Riders"
Archie growled "A change of costume won't save you kids get them my minions.
The soldiers gave out a battle cry and charged with the heroes pulling out their weapons and began fighting them off in separate groups. (Thought about cutting it here but I decided to stick it out)
Ash and Misty
Ash and Misty were fighting back to back against several troops. Ash slashed with his katana and cut up several of the soldiers. Misty's Trident was defending a lot better than Ash's katana. She spun her trident and sent a wave of water pushing them back. Ash pulled out two cards and scanned them. One depicted his Grovyle firing bullet seed the other depicting his Bulbasaur firing its Razor Leaf.
BULLET SEED
RAZOR LEAF
COMBO: LEAF'S BARRAGE
The combined attack was fired in all directions. Misty jumped up to dodge it while scanning her Starmie and Staryu cards this time Starmie was using Thunderbolt (It can learn this and some people have used this idea)
THUNDERBOLT
SWIFT
COMBO: THUNDER STARS
The ones that weren't destroyed by Ash's were blown back by Misty's attack. There were about five left after both attacks. Ash and Misty nodded at each other and pulled out their finisher cards.
THUNDERBOLT: MAX ENERGY
HYDRO PUMP: MAX ENERGY
COMBO: HYDRO POWER CANNON
They charged up their weapons and fired at the troops. The attacks combined and sent shocks through the troops. They turned around holding their weapons and Ash sheathed his katana while Misty twirled her behind her back. "That takes care of them let's go help the others." "Right behind you Ash" as they ran towards the fights which looked like they were finishing up.
Same time Tori and Gabby
Tori and Gabby were having some difficulty mainly because Gabby relied more on distance and Tori focused on spell work. However they could still fight up close. Gabby used her dagger to cut through some of the troops while Tori tried to whack them with Aquarius her staff.
"Ugh Tori this is not getting us anywhere we need so extra help" Gabby said she slashed more troops."
"I know give me a minute. CHAREN'S WRAITH" She sent a dark colored attack at the troops as she pulled out another card. This one depicted a large bear. While Gabby pulled out another driver that had the letter A made of chains and swapped out their respective drives.
KAMEN RIDE CHANGE: U-U-URSA MAJOR
ANDROMADA
When the flashes died down they had new gear. Tori had claws that looked like bear claw and a helmet that had bear like ears and eyes. Gabby had taken on a more feminine look and two chains wrapped around her wrists.
"Interesting choice with the chains Gabby" Tori asked as she struck her claws ready to fight.
"Heh, it will allow me to this" Gabby whipped our chain and grabbed a boulder near the pond and swung it around taking out more troops.
ANDROMDEA'S DROP she took the rock causing to explode and sending multiple smaller rocks at the troops. The debris took out about eight of them completely and set up the rest for Tori's finisher
"Not bad here's a better one URSA CLAW" Tori charged swiping at the troops and giving large gashes ad causing sparks to fly. "Let's finish this and stop Archie." Tori yelled. Gabby nodded and slipped the driver into a slot about the chains while Tori pulled out another card and scanned it.
ANDROMEDA MAXIMUM DRIVE
FINAL ATTACK RIDE: U-U-Ursa major
COMBO FINISHER: METEOR CRASH
Gabby wrapped her chains around Tori and flung her up high into the air. Tori's claws glowed whited and she came down fast using gravity and Gabby's strength. An image of a roaring bear shadowed over her as the claws caught fire as she gave out a battle cry. She hit the ground sending out a shockwave destroying the rest of the soldiers.
"Looks like things are clear on our end let's go meet up with the others."
Drew and May
It was a tale of two completely different fighting styles. Drew was punching, kicking and slashing through the troops while blocking with his arm and sword. He would have used something more akin to his preferred style of Taekwondo but he couldn't get enough separation for his legs. So he used his sword in tandem with his feet to do damage to them. May by contrast was dancing through her opponents. She would slash at one and dance away from another attack. She would jump and back flip over them and use her momentum to kick them back. Unlike Drew who would use his hands if he needed to, May was almost exclusively using her legs to fight them and was used to great effect. This leg strength came from dance exercises Tori tough introduced her to in addition to the weight training. As a result she could break rocks with her legs. Some of her kicks were doing a lot of damage to the troops.
"You alright May?" Drew called as he slashed another one coming at him.
"Never better although you could use more finesse in your attacks" May said as she danced around and slashed at a soldier's back.
"This coming from the girl who is only slashing once and thinks she's destroyed them. Really are we having this conversation while keeping the world from being destroyed?" Drew said as he turned towards the forest themed rider.
"Yes we are having this conversation you can add some more finesse to your attacks" May said as she kicked another soldier back.
"You want finesse I will give you finesse and power. Watch this" Turning towards a group of soldiers he jumped in the middle of them. ST. HELEN'S Sweep (Volcano reference) taking a page from Capoeira he started break dancing and launched a fire wave at the troops (Think Zuko when he does this move saving his uncle). Jumping in the air he spun on his hands and tripped and burned them to a crisp "BLAZING UPPERCUT" he finished the routine sending a large flaming punch to the chin and destroyed the last one. (He wouldn't use his Leo finisher on small
"Beat that Ms. Finesse" Drew taunted. May puffed up and pulled out a card depicting her Combusken using Blaze Kick and scanned it releasing energy
BLAZE KICK: MAXIMUM ENGERY
May let out a war cry as she charged at the soldiers launching multiple kicks, as she did so her Combusken showed her as she destroyed soldiers left and right.
BLAZING KICK she jumped up and in an image similar to Kamen Riders past she hit the last one with diving kick. "This duet is over" as the last one let out a defeated cry. "Heh I give that an eight not bad on the power but your speed could use some work" Drew said as he starting walking towards the gate. "Everyone's a critic you knucklehead" May as she hurried to catch up.
At the door as the other battles were going on
Archie was approaching the door to where Kyogre and Groudon were sealed when he was blocked by Team Magma and Maxie. (This chapter is starting to feel like a movie I now know the indignity of writer's block) "Archie please stop this madness you are putting the world in danger.
"You are weak Maxie suddenly wanting to repent for what you have done. You have blood on your hands with Team Magma." "That may be but I am still human in my eye. You destroyed your own men for what purpose nothing more than flooding the world for your desires." "Silence Sharkclaw clear them away" "Volcorupt stop them." The two creatures went at each other. Lave and high powered water were sent at each other. After a couple of minutes it was clear that due to type advantage the Sharpedo like monster was winning. Sharkclaw fired another water attack and caused Volcorupt to fall on his back. "You betrayed our master Volcorupt you know what the penalty is" "I don't care my master was able to open my eyes to what humans are. They are capable of redemption." Sharkclaw spat at him "So what you are not going to see the end of this tale now die" He punched a claw through his opponent "Forgive…me…master" Volcorupt muttered before he dissolved away. "Heh, that takes care of the traitor now what Master Archie" "Now finish off Team Magma" "Yes master " he turned to gathered Magma grunts VIOLENT SURF he launched a large wave of water at the grunts. Several of them were severely injured and Maxie looked badly hurt as well.
"Heh those weaklings are no match for Sharkclaw." Just then an electrical attack struck between Archie and his servant. They turned to see the riders show up. "Grr…those brats Sharkclaw finish them. My destiny awaits.
"Yes Master HYDRO BLAST" the monster fired a heated stream which hit them and sent them back. They quickly recovered and started fighting back. Misty went in with her trident and tried to stab at it but was blocked quickly by the claws. She spun around and was able to get a stab in. May was able to sneak up behind him and give the monster a quick slash. The monster grew frustrated and tried to hack at May who just danced out of the way. THUNDERBOLT Ash's belt called out as he unleashed a large bolt of lightning at the creature. "Grr I am going to destroy you VIOLENT SURF" Sharkclaw fired again Ash was able to dodge it while Gabby had switched back to her Orion gear prepared to fire an attack. GLACIER ARROW, Gabby fired an arrow and froze some of the water and allowing her break it up. Tori followed up with her bear claws slashing through the water and hit him again. Drew swung his sword jumping over Tori as he did so. The monster was thoroughly dazed but still could fight back.
RAZOR LEAF/ICE BEAM/STRING SHOT
The three aura riders unleashed their attacks and manage to freeze the monster in place. "Gah let me go you'll be sorry."
"Guys let's finish this now" Ash called out and took out his finishing cards. The rest of the group followed suit.
THUNDER/BLADE: LIGHTING BLADE: MAXIMUM ENERGY
SILVER WIND: MAXIMUM ENERGY
HYDRO PUMP: MAXIMUM ENERGY
ORION: MAXIMUM DRIVE
FINAL KAMEN RIDE: U-U-URSA Major
STANDBY LEO: FINSHER
ULTIMATE COMBO: FIVE ELEMENTAL CLASH
May and Misty started by firing their attacks at the monster. The whirlwind of wind and water starting doing damage as Tori ran in and struck with her claws like a mother bear possessed. Her last attack sent Sharkclaw flying into the air. Then Gabby jumped onto to Tori's shoulders and fired four arrows hit the shoulder and knee joints. In the sky above the monster Drew and Ash were ready to strike.
LEO BREAKER/THUNDER BLADE
They slashed at the monster landing next to their girls. "Yippe Kiya" Drew said as the sheathed their weapons. "Come on let's go before Archie wakes up Kyogre." Ash called out. A loud rumbling cut short their efforts. "Something tells me it is already too late." Misty as part of the mountain collapsed. A grotesque blue monster about twenty feet tall appeared with a roar. "No Archie merged with that thing he is insane." Drew said. "Come on we need to help Team Magma off the mountain." May called as they walked over to the fallen group. Some of them were already helping out their fallen comrades. Some like Maxie were still on the ground. "You guys alright."
Tabitha spoke up "We were lucky most of these injuries are minor but we need choppers to get everyone out of here. I already radioed them in. However, Maxie I don't know if he will make it. He tried to block Archie but he was beaten up and stabbed." Maxie groaned "Sir you are awake." "Yes awake that seems to be the word of the hour." "I am sorry sir but Kyogre is on the loose." "I see. Well then…take me into the chamber." "WHAT?" said the group in ear shot? "Please…let me explain. I know by merging with the beast I could easily die but at the same time it is the only the way to combat Archie and Kyogre. I will try to fight them and prevent as much damage as I can. In the event I do die, well I guess my family will be reunited." The gang who had removed their helmets were showing different expressions with the emotional ones showing tears and the guys looking away. "Sigh…Ash help me pull him up." "Are you insane Drew?" Ash said "Maybe but I see a fire in him. Maxie I hope you know what you are doing" Drew said as he put his helmet back on. Ash did as well and pulled up Maxie and led him to the door.
As they descended to shrine Maxie was struggling a bit. "This…staircase…will be the death of me." The two boys laughed as they reached the bottom of the stairs. Maxie pulled out the Red Orb which was starting to react to a cave painting on the left. A large crater to the right was assumed to be Kyogre's. Maxie walked over to the pedestal to put the red orb in. "If I don't make it I have some information for you if you didn't already know. The man who gave me this, Glenn, he wields aura. He also has a power similar to yours and knows how to use it. Please careful" At this he turned towards them "I see a great destiny for both of you and the girls you fight with. I guess this is the end of me if I am talking like this. Now go this cave will collapse as soon as Groudon is free. And boys thank you for giving me a chance." They nodded and proceeded to exit. Maxie turned back to the pedestal. "Forgive me Clair." Maxie said as he put the orb in the pedestal. A loud rumbling occurred as lave started to pour out of the painting. It started to swallow Maxie and build up around Maxie growing to an epic size.
Outside
The rumbling shook the ground around the shrine. The group retreated off of the mountain as Groudon roared awake. They could only watch as the large monster took off towards Kyogre who was starting to flood the city.
"What do we do now" May said as they released their flying pokémon and powered down. "We could only watch and pray that Maxie knows what he is doing" said Ash "If he doesn't stop them then what?" Misty called out from the back of Ash's Swellow. Drew spoke up "Then pray for a miracle" The group looked on as the two mega giants started fighting each other and rain started to fall.
With the giants
Groudon had just knocked Kyogre away from the beach. Kyogre looked mad and sent a large wave at Groudon. Groudon just raised some of the land to block it. He pushed Kyogre further out to sea. Maxie was still in control as he knew he had to keep it away from the city. Kyogre roared and fired a hyper beam. Groudon blocked it but the wounds from Maxie's human body was starting to show. Kyogre took advantage of the flinch and tackled it. He was sent flying and collapsed into the sea.
With the group far away from the action
The Riders had landed on a high cliff nearby. There were other people that had managed to get to high ground.
"MAY!" the group turned to see Max, Brock and the gym leaders. Max ran to hug his sister. The group turned back to the battle. "Groudon is hurt what do we do now?" Tori said seeing the takedown by Kyogre. "We pray for a miracle Tori." Drew said grabbing both Tori and Gabby's hands.
(I would suggest playing Lugia's Song at this point).
Just as Kyogre was ready to finish Kyogre off the water between the two started to circulate. At the same time the sky suddenly started to open up above them. It was still raining but it now started to show a rainbow. The disturbance in the water suddenly became a cyclone that rose up to the opening in the clouds. Then a mysterious melody started playing. Well mysterious to all but four. "Guys do you hear that?" May said. "Where's it coming from?" Gabby asked looking around. "I think it's coming from the cyclone." Brock eyes widened "Guys I think I know what it is. "No way is it…" Drew started widening his eyes. "It's the song I never thought I hear again" Misty said her eyes just as wide. The cyclone dissipated revealing a large white bird with a light blue underbelly. Its wings were about 15 feet wide and looked streamlined for the water. (Stop it here)
Ash's eyes lightened up at the creature "Lugia is it really you" Lugia nodded it was the one from the orange islands. Kyogre fired an attack but before it could hit a stream of fire came down from the opening in the sky. Another large bird this time with rainbow colored wings. It looked a bit smaller than Lugia but still had a look of majesty.
"What's that pokémon?" Max said. Ash's eyes widening even further "No way Ho-oh as well." Ho-oh glowed and healed some of the wounds Groudon had. They flew over to the cliff. The spectators were a little scared of the legendries but they stopped short kicking up wind. Ash and Misty walked towards the two birds unafraid. Lugia spoke with power "It is nice to see you chosen one. It has been some time since Shamouti. I can see you have found your feelings for your red-headed companion and your brunette companion" causing the teens to blush. Ho-oh spoke next with an equal amount of power "I always knew you were destined for greatness ever since you left your home to start your journey. But to be a Guardian I never thought you would have that as your destiny" The birds turned around. "Now Chosen One hop on Ho-Oh's back, Chosen One's mate please hop on my back, we will provide you with the power to end this conflict." Ash and Misty looked at each other and nodded. "WAIT" they turned around and saw May running towards them. She leaped and grabbed them in a hug. "Please…Please come back to me. I don't want to lose you." May cried. The duo hugged back her back "May we will be back I promise you that" "Don't worry about us we are made of tougher stuff." Misty winked. Ash kissed her cheek and pulled away. Misty did the same and pulled out. They jumped on the birds as May reached out to as if to chase them.
"They will be ok." Drew said snapping May out of her stupor. "Why do you say that?" May asked. "Two reasons one we know they can kick butt we trained together after all." "What's the second?" Drew just looked out as the birds approached the battle scene as rain continued to fall "They have something to come back for" Drew said. May just stared and turned towards the fight and put her hands together as if to pray.
At the battle scene
Lugia and Ho-oh were flying over the battle. "Chosen one you and your mate activate your guardian powers. We will merge with you to fight Kyogre." The nodded and pulled out at their belts and inserted their activation cards and got into their stances. HENSHIN they cried out and instead of appearing in front of them they went in front of Ho-oh and Lugia. The shields came back across the birds bodies slowly disintegrating them. When they hit Ash and Misty their armors got a new look. Ash's armor had become bulkier and was more golden colored with green running down the arms and legs. A pair of red and white wings were locked onto the back. His katana was now in a golden sheath. Where Ash was flying now stood Kamen Rider Aura Gold Form. Misty was now more streamlined for the water with Lugia's little fins on the back. Her wings were white and about the same size of Ash's which were about three feet each. Her trident was already out ready to attack. Kamen Triton Silver Form was ready to fight. "Let's go Misty we have a city to save." "Right behind you Ash"
At the battle site
Kyogre and Groudon were now fighting at the shoreline but Groudon was still fighting but it appeared Groudon was losing strength. Kyogre fired another attack that looked to be the finishing blow.
PROTECT. A green barrier blocked the hyper beam. Aura (Ash) and Triton (Misty) were now flying in front of Kyogre. It roared and fired a hydro pump. Aura pulled out a card that his Swellow using Steel Wing and scanned it while Triton was hiding behind him
STEEL WING his wings expanded and blocked the attack. The attack however pushed them towards Groudon. Although weakened he was able to catch them with his claws. "Thanks Maxie" Groudon growled in response. "Come on let's keep going." Ash and Misty started to scan more cards. THUNDERBOLT/AURORA BEAM they fired the two attacks at Kyogre. They connected and pushed them back. When they went to try to slash at Kyogre he dropped below the sea only to surface to fire back at the two. "We can't get in close and our long range attacks aren't going to hold out forever" Misty called out. Ash looked on and tried to think of a way out. Kyogre took the opportunity to charge up another attack. "LOOK OUT MIST" Ash cried. Misty looked and saw a hyper beam being charged up and froze. Just as the hyper beam was firing Kyogre was put in a headlock causing the hyper beam to dissipate. Kyogre was struggling against the hold and Groudon despite its injuries was holding firm.
"Chosen one Groudon is telling you to finish Kyogre off." Ho-oh telepathically said. "He is right use our cards to finish him off." Lugia said. "But that will kill both of them" Misty cried out "He knows that. He regrets ever trying to summon them please you must destroy them now. Aim for the glowing areas in their chest" Misty and Ash reluctantly nodded and pulled a gold and silver colored card respectively and scanned them. The gold card had Ho-oh diving encased in flame, while the silver card had Lugia in a cyclone.
SACRED FIRE: MAXIMUM ENERGY
AEROBLAST: MAXIMUM ENERGY
COMBO: SUN AND SEA STRIKE
Ash became encased in fire and started to spin while water started to swarm around Misty. They started to descend and merge the attacks. Images of Lugia and Ho-oh firing their powerful attack at Kyogre appeared behind the spinning duo. Letting out a war cry they drilled through Kyogre at the point where the Blue Orb was glowing. As they cut through Kyogre they also drilled through Groudon at the point where the red orb was glowing. They came through both of them still glowing with energy. With a last roar of defiance Kyogre started to shrink as it broke down and started being absorbed by the orb. Groudon was going through a similar process as they fell down to the shore.
With the spectators
The crowd gave a loud cheer. Max and Brock were cheering with joy while Gabby and Tori were dancing around. May looked on at the devastation with tears in her eyes. "They did it. I knew they could do it" May said sniffling. Drew shook her off her thoughts. "Come on May we got a hero to see" he said releasing his Swellow and hopped on May soon following.
With said heroes
Misty and Ash were on the ground having a discussion with Ho-oh and Lugia. "You did well Ash and you too Misty." Lugia said. "Thank you Lugia and thank you Ho-oh" "Your destiny is just beginning just remember your journey will be intertwined with others not just this world." Ho-oh said. Ash nodded. The birds turned to Misty "You hold more than Ash's heart you hold the key to the sea may it always serve you." Misty blushed and looked away. "As our gift to you keep the cards that are infused with our powers may they serve you well." "Thank you very much" Misty and Ash said together. With a melodious call and the song of the sea both birds returned to their respective domains.
"Groan…what happened? No…NOOO" both teens turned to see Archie waking up and screaming. "You brats will pay for this" Archie grabbed the blue orb but it started shining. "What is this?" the orb stared to suck in his energy. "NOOOOooooo" Archie cried as the blue orb sucked him in and then stopped glowing. Ash and Misty collapsed in relief they didn't want to fight again they were exhausted. "AAASSHHH MISSSTY" they turned only to be tackled into the sand by a brown haired along with Pikachu. They were momentarily stunned then they heard sniffling. "Never again….Please never leave me. I love you both I can't imagine life without you" May said crying into their chests. Misty and Ash just started rubbing her back as she cried while Pikachu rubbed his head against his trainers. They heard another groaning sound. "Where am I?" "Maxie…you're alive you knucklehead." Drew said as he walked towards him "Maybe but not for long. Those wounds of mine took a toll. I also think the same thing that took Archie will probably take me. Cough…I hope that they see me for what I did not for what I have become." Maxie started cough up blood "I know you gave me a chance even you said your country never negotiates with terrorists." Drew sadly chuckled "I'm right that they don't do that but I am not part of the government am I." They both chuckled but Maxie started coughing up blood. "Any regrets?" Drew asked "I only regret that will never meet my wife again" Maxie said as he started to fade. "You never know but I am sure she is happy to know you saved the world." Maxie just smiled "Thank…you...and...good-b…y…e." With that Maxie closed his eyes. The gathered group bowed their heads as Drew said a small prayer. He looked at the two orbs in the sand and picked them up. He turned to Juan and Wallace who was walking towards them. "What are you going to do with these" he asked Juan. "We will put them in our homes under lock and key. As for Maxie we will give him a funeral at a later date. You must be tired after all of this ordeal. Please stay as long as you like.
"I think we will take a couple days off we deserve after that who knows. Thank you" Drew said as he turned towards his friend who were smiling at the thought of rest.
Two days later Juan's house before sunrise.
Ash had slipped out of his bed which now had May and Misty in it. After their ordeal, May insisted on sleeping with Ash to never be a part from them. After some discussion Misty decided that she would do so only with her in it. After an awkward few minutes the first night, they realized they should have been sleeping like this the entire time as it was pretty comfy sleeping together. Back in the present Ash slipped out of his room slipping on his blue jeans and quietly closing the door. He walked towards a large glass window that looked over the city. A slight orange tint indicated sunrise wasn't far off. He stepped out on to the porch that overlooked Juan's garden and looked contemplative.
"Penny for your thoughts" Ash turned to see that Drew had walked out to join him. "Thanks" Drew just smiled "What's on your mind." "What happened the other day just that Maxie died and didn't have too. Killing all those transformed goons. What is the point if we kill everyone" Ash cried out only to get a smack on the head "Let me stop you there. You think you have it bad I have been battling my pacifist nature this whole time" "Sorry its just I am 13 I know they were only goons but what if we have to kill for real." Drew looked out at the sky which got a little brighter. "Ash if it happens it happens we will be there for you. Right girls." Drew turned to see Misty and May in their blanket and Gabby and Tori in theirs. Misty and May moved over to Ash who looked a little confused "What are you guys doing" "We missed our favorite pillow and it was a little cold without you" Misty said. As to emphasize the point a breeze picked and he shivered. Misty and May wrapped their blanket around Ash. Underneath Ash wrapped his around them and closed the blanket only showing their heads. "Never doubt we love you and will work through anything that life throws at us." May said. Ash just chuckled. Drew turned towards rising sun as his girls light wrapped an arm around him. "Ash when I said I fight for my girls, I realized that I fight for something else." They looked at him "I fight for the sunrise" at their questioning looks. "Every sunrise I see is another day that I am alive and the world is safe. Never forget that." Drew said. With that they turned towards the sunrise which was now starting rise above the horizon their rider forms were shadowed behind their respective owners.
Unknown to them a dark force was also watching the sunrise but was scowling "So those pathetic teams failed no matter. This world will fall to the darkness hahaha…HAHAHAHAHA" said the figure as he disappeared.
END OF CHAPTER…FINALLY
Alright before you get mad here's what I did. I essentially turned the plot of the Hoenn games into some sort of Kaijuu battle which I think I did ok please tell me in a review or PM. So why a redeeming Maxie. Well in the anime he had second thought when Archie activated his orb. It was Pikachu not Maxie that got possessed by the orb. I also had a big battle scene which was my first real one. So please tell me in a review to improve
Anyway here's the new powers
Andromeda: daughter of Cassiopeia. 2nd largest constellation in the northern sky. In Greek mythology she was the daughter of Cassiopeia who in her vainness chained her to a rock to be eaten by the Hydra. Hercules in one of his tasks saved her and defeated the hydra. When Gabby uses this she uses chain much like the ones use in the legend. It is also an earth elemental
Ursa Major: the big bear. One of the most well-known northern constellations along with its smaller companion Ursa Minor also called the Big and Little Dipper respectively. Most of the legends for this one come from the northern tribes of native Americans like the Inuit. One of the legends involve three brothers which are the stars in the tail chasing the bear the dipper. The two stars on the side away from the handle are called the pointers stars because it points to the pole star in Ursa Minor. When Tori uses this she gains bear claws and becomes water resistant.
Anyway I also edited several chapter to add stuff like this and changed the title. Plus I have a challenge up please PM if you want to take it
