Chapter 44: Chains of Fate
Two hours before the bomb detonation on Mt Coronet (Elements of chapters DP150-152)
The base's alarm was going off. Multiple Grunts were running around and trying to find the supposed intruder. In a hallway branching off the main hall, a grunt was panting. A quick glance and the grunt threw off his outfit, revealing Looker in disguise. In his hands was a flash drive that contained multiple plans for Team Galactic and a Red colored shard.
Looking behind him, he saw multiple Golbat chasing him. Cursing to himself, he ran again and dialed a phone.
"Looker what's going on?" The man on the other line said.
"I've been compromised. I have the data and the shard." At that moment, the shard glowed and Looker dropped it along with the drive and blew up.
"Damn it, they booby trapped it. Get in touch with our allies near the lakes, they are preparing to move out.
"Roger. Get out of there!"
Looker hung up as he ran. He looked up and saw he was at a dead end.
"Hold it right there international police." The grunts had cornered the man and he held up his hands in surrender.
One of the grunts took out a radio. "We've got the policeman, we are taking him to the hold."
Cyrus was listening in and smirked. "Good, our plans can proceed without interruptions. J?"
The Hunter walked up. "Proceed with Phase 1, the bomb is ready to deploy."
J nodded and Glenn walked up with a card. "This card has the essence of Giratina. Use it well, my Huntress."
J had that sinister grin on her face and left for her ship. Glenn and Paul who was with him continued to watch as the plan began to unfold.
A half an hour later J was flying down from their mountain perch. On the ground a brown haired man with an Umbreon was watching the plane head near him.
"Professor Rowan. Come in, its as we feared. Team Galactic is heading towards Lake Verity. The other two lakes might be in danger.
"Very well. Cynthia and Professor Carolina are on their way to the other lakes to secure the Lake Guardians. Stop Hunter J."
"You got it. Go Electrivire." The Large Electric pokémon appeared.
"Use Thunder try to slow it down."
Electrivire fired off the large electric attack but it was countered by a Poison Jab that stopped the attack. Umbreon tried to fight off the poison toad but it was hit by a Drapion and knocked back. Saturn then appeared with a laugh.
"Your too late. Our plans to awaken the lake pokémon are entering its final stages. That bomb is made from the meteorites we took from Veilstone. It can penetrate Space-Time, precisely what we need to wake up the lake pokémon."
Up in the airship, J looked down at the lake. "So much power, contained within one pokémon." She turned to her subordinate. "Drop the bomb."
The grunt nodded and pressed the button to drop the bomb. The hatch opened and the large explosive dropped into the lake.
BOOOOOOMMMMMM
The explosion sent up a large plume of water and left a large hole in the water revealed a crystal blue sphere. The remaining water rained down around them as J looked on with glee.
"Excellent. Hold position while I go collect our query." J said walking away holding fingering the belt in her pocket.
On the ground the riders were slowly standing up after the massive blast.
"Is everyone alright?" Drew called out as they shakily stood up.
"What the heck was that?" Max said.
Gabby looked out onto lake. "That was a freaking bomb. It felt Hiroshima."
"That definitely felt that powerful, but we aren't burned to a crisp." Tori said struggling to kneel.
Before they could talk further a Jeep with Professor Rowan rolled up.
"Ash? Dawn? What are you all doing here?" The Professor asked.
"That doesn't matter, What the Heck is going on?"
Rowan looked at the lake. "We have been attempting to stop Team Galactic and their benefactor from attaining the Lake Pokémon. When that bomb detonated, our researchers at Lake Acuity and Lake Verity reported the lakes glowed indicating that the lake pokémon are looking to defend their friend.
Wasting no time, Drew called out Flygon and his Staraptor. Seeing this, Ash sent out his Staraptor and Dawn and Anabel sent out Latias and Latios.
"Where do you think your going?" The professor asked as the kids hopped on the pokémon.
"To stop Hunter J that's what. And then we'll find Team Galactic and kick their butts up and down Mt. Coronet." Ash said.
"Could not have said it better myself. Let's ride." Drew said as they took off.
They were approaching the sight of Hunter J on her Salamence when Max, who was riding Latios, spotted something on the ground.
"Guys, I think I see one of Team Galactic's commanders, and they are surrounding someone!"
Drew looked over there and quickly went through his options. Satisfied with his options he turned around.
"Gabby, Misty hop off and assist the trainer!"
"What about you and Ash?" Gabby said.
"We're the only ones that might have a shot at taking down J! We'll be fine!" Ash said.
The two girls nodded as Anabel and Dawn grabbed the two. It was a bit more weight, but nothing the Eon pokémon couldn't handle.
Once the rest of their friends were gone, Drew turned to Ash. "Time to end this Hunter."
"Right behind you." Ash said and then felt his heart pound. "No Azelf."
"Ash what's wrong?"
"Azelf, the pokémon of the lake, its been captured."
"We need to go. Flygon triple time."
The two riders flew off at close to the pokémon's max speed.
With the other riders, they were heading down to help out the trainer. Dawn and Gabby were the closest and pulled out their weapons.
LIGHT BEAM
HUNTING ARROW
The attacks struck some of the troops and got them to focus on the riders. They landed and pulled out their weapons.
The brown haired man looked the new arrivals, and gasped and recognized two of them.
"Brock? Misty? What are you two doing here?"
"Well we were out having a little stroll and we saw you in this predicament Gary." Misty said.
"Don't worry, we've dealt with these guys before." Brock said swinging his axe behind him.
"Where's Ash?"
Misty pointed her thumb behind her. "Taking care of a mutual enemy. Now stand back, we got this."
Saturn growled and snapped his fingers summoning more. "You think you can stop our plans. Your insane. Our riders are vastly superior to yours, especially with her new power coming from Giratina."
"Giratina? Your after the dimensional pokémon. Dialga, Palkia and Giratina." Gary gasped
"Quite correct, and with those powers we will recreate our leader's gal of a new world." Saturn replied.
May giggled. "You kind of forgot one little thing." She said with a teasing voice.
"And that is?" Saturn said with a raised eyebrow.
"That we'll let you win." Tori said as the riders took their stances.
Saturn growled. "We'll see about that. Troopers attack."
Gary seeing this battle might be out of his league wisely stayed back as the others charged in.
In the sky, J was growling as her query were dodging her and her Salamence. She successfully captured Azelf, but the other two have been nuisances. One of them had the audacity to crack her visor. That led to the second of the trio, Uxie getting captured before having to dodge an Extrasensory attack.
"Grr…if I didn't need these alive I would be using my belt." She growled.
"Hunter J! You're not getting away with this!" Ash called out.
J turned around and saw Drew and Ash fly up. "Perfect. I get three extremely valuable pokémon and I get to take out two rider." She said pulling out the Dracul Belt.
HENSHIN
Instantly she turned into Kamen Rider Dracul and flew straight at the two heroes.
Seeing her transform prompted the young trainers to pull on their belts.
HENSHIN
COMPLETE/EVOLVE
On their respective steeds they charged at each other. Dracul targeted Aura and the two clashed their weapons multiple types. Dracul was then forced out of the clash by multiple fire balls sent her way by Zodiac. Then she had to deal with Zodiac who proceeded to clash with the Dark Rider. This trading off eventually forced Dracul to fly away heading towards her ship. But the two heroes weren't going to let her and fired off Thunder and Fire Attacks in an effort to push her back. Some of the attacks got through and damaged Dracul and hurt Salamence.
Dracul growled in pain. Out of the corner of her she spotted the last of the lake trio laughing. Dracul roared and fired off her statue beam. Mesprit's eyes glowed before it hit and the last of the lake trio.
Dracul grinned as she saw imagined the looks of horror on the rider's faces.
"Well now, that will be a nice payday for me. Now to finish you two off and I have just the thing to end you."
She held up a card. "The power of one of the dimensional trio. Giratina, the Boundary pokémon. Ghost and Dragon. A very powerful type combination. And now its all mine." She said as she looked at the heroes and then brought it down her belt to scan it.
BOUNDARY
Her armor glowed. When it died down, her armor changed drastically. Her back had gained spiked wings while her legs molded together like a serpent. Her helmet gained a yellow faceplate and gained grey and red stripes.
J laughed sinisterly. "How do you like this? This is the power gained from the energy we gathered from Giratina. My Boundary form!"
Zodiac and Aura looked at the new form with somewhat impressed. Then they watched Dracul disappeared.
"Where did she go?" Aura said looking around. Behind them the air distorted and a dark beam shot out and hit Zodiac in the back.
"Gah. Damn it." Zodiac said turning around and firing off a Flame Shot. But Dracul just hid away again. The fight then became a cat and mouse game between the Hunter and the Trainers.
On the ground, the non-transformed riders were doing remarkably well. Brock and Max were teaming up near the woods. Max's small size allowed him to jump away from multiple weapons and used his wind manipulation to jump onto his opponents and then used his Sais to stab them. Breaking out his staff he quickly swung it around creating a tornado that sent the remaining ones into the air. Max grinned and looked to Brock. He was having no trouble keeping his opponents back. He crushed the three closest to him and swung his axe to create some space. Two of them charged in but he saw the attack coming and activated Harden to block the attack and punched them back. He then powered up Mortar and struck the earth.
EARTH PILLAR
This sent about fifteen troopers into the air and Max finished them off. The young boy landed and high fived the gym leader and watch the others finish up their fights.
Dawn and May were back flipping towards each other and stabbing those chasing the others down. May landed on her right hand spun kicking with her legs. Flipping onto her legs she continued to spin and slashed with her sword. Continuing her momentum she added petals into the mix.
PETAL DANCE
The petals spun around her opponents and cut them into pieces. Meanwhile, Dawn was weaving through her opponents and stabbing them with light beams. She then jumped up and thrust her sword out.
DISCHARGE
The opponents around her were shocked into oblivion. Dawn landed with a curtsey and turned to catch May who was dizzy after so much spinning.
May giggled as the swirls in her eyes faded. "Thanks honey."
Dawn giggled at her expression helped her to her feet. They turned to see the other fights finishing up.
Gabby snipped two that we approaching her and Tori. Tori shielded them from a couple shots and then launched the water at them. Gabby quickly separated her bow and went into a slashing frenzy that ended with her crossing the blades and seeing her opponents disintegrating. Tori took the water she used as a shield and launched it at the rest that surrounding them. They looked at each other and nodded and watched as the battle winded down.
Misty bent the water from the lake washing several away. She turned to face two charging at her. She grinned and stood still with her trident ready. Then Anabel's chakrams flew next her head, not even flinching and sliced the heads off. Anabel leaped over her head and caught the chakrams flying up. Spinning in mid-air she fired them again as Misty charged in with her Aqua Jet and tore through the army and drowning what wasn't killed by the torrent or the spinning weapons.
Landing they posed with their weapons as the battle ended.
Gary who was hiding in the trees, walked out amazed and confused. "Thanks guys, but what the heck was all of that. You used attacks that are used by pokémon. And all of those acrobatics was crazy." Gary said with a wide eyed look. "Where's Ash?" He said looking around.
An explosion was heard in the sky. The group turned to see lightning and fire lighting up the sky. Ash's girls walked to the water and looked on concerned.
"They'll be alright Misty." Anabel said feeling the Water Guardian's distress. "After all, they've got something to return to."
Another explosion actually caused shockwaves in the water. "Man J must have gotten way more powerful if they are pushing the two this far." Max said.
"It might have something to do with what Team Galactic is up to." Gary theorized.
Any follow-up was stopped by a bright glow.
"Ash." The girls whispered holding onto each other.
Up in the sky
Dracul was grinning behind her mask. With her power, she was more than a match for both of these so-called guardians. She laughed.
"What's wrong riders? With this power, you can barely touch me."
Aura and Zodiac with their armors slightly singed were not as exhausted as J thought. Zodiac looked at Aura and then back at Dracul.
"You think we're weak? We've pushed you back before without our upgrades and now you think you have more power, you think your better than us."
Zodiac spun his sword. "I am sure you've done your research on all of our forms right? Well, then let's show you a few tricks that we haven't shown. Aura."
Aura grabbed his final form card. "Show her why you're the Prince of Lightning."
Aura nodded and brought the card down to the buckle and scanned it.
MASTER
Aura glowed a blue light as electricity crackled around him as the armor changed. When Aura glowed he grinned as he felt a familiar armor appear on him. The armor now had three obtrusions that looked like a crown entirely gold up and down the chest. On the arms and legs were a mixture of gold and blue. On his back was a cape that flowed in the breeze.
"I am the Prince of the Skies and the Master of Lightning. Kamen Rider Aura Master Form." Aura said as Lightning flashed behind him and Staraptor cawed with might.
Dracul actually flinched at the power being radiated. But she remained defiant as she opened another portal in an attempt to get behind Zodiac. But the moment she was out, Aura was already in position to slash her and send her back. Shocked that she was found easily, she immediately fired off a Dragon Pulse. Ash immediately slashed it. In the some that came from the collision, she flew at Zodiac who blocked the attack and forced her back.
THUNDERBOLT
Dracul screamed as she knocked back to Zodiac and she was struck in the front. What had become her defining moment was now becoming her undoing as the numbers game quickly caught up to her.
Feeling like fighting another day, she started to flying towards her ship.
"Your not going anywhere!" Aura called out as he scanned two cards after charging them.
AURA SPHERE MAXIMUM ENERGY
THUNDER MAXIMUM ENERGY
COMBO: DIVINE SPHERE
He cupped his hands and began charging up his attack. It grew in size until it was half his size and then let it go.
Dracul was limping home and saw the ship in sight. She heard a crackling of lightning and turned to see the sphere of electricity heading towards her. She couldn't get out of the way as it hit her and sent her crashing into her ship creating a big hole in the ship. The two hero riders flew into the hole and landed to see if Dracul survived. They saw Dracul powered down, with a lot of cuts and electricity dancing around her.
"Its over J. Your hunting days are over." Aura said.
J, though hurt, looked defiant. "You think you've won. You haven't won. Our plans are moving ahead. As for jail? Good luck keeping me in prison."
Another explosion hit the ship, this time from something hitting the engines. This knocked the riders off balance.
"What the heck?" Zodiac said.
"I think we were hit by one of the lake pokémon's attacks." Aura theorized.
"Whatever it was we need to get out of here." Zodiac said as he walked to the hole in the ship.
"What about J?" Aura asked.
Zodiac looked at J who was struggling to stand. "Leave her. Let this be her prison." He said emotionlessly.
Under other circumstances, Aura would have questioned it. But remembering the crimes she has done, he suppressed his human side briefly and walked to where Zodiac was. Just then a whip grabbed his legs which knocked him to the floor.
"If I am going down, I'm taking you with me." She said as she tried to pull Aura's leg.
Zodiac quickly tried to pull the rope apart as Aura tried to pull his leg back. Zodiac looked and saw they were getting close to the water. Thinking quickly, he took his sword and ran over to J.
SQUISH
J gasped and then roared in pain as her arm was severed. He barely had enough time to holster his sword and braced for impact as the ship hit the water.
On the ground, the observers gasped as the ship hit the water. They had seen Flygon and Staraptor drop the two boys off, but had not picked them up and landed near them.
"Come on. Get out of there." Misty whispered.
"Please guys come on." Gabby said hugging Tori.
Under the water, Drew had recovered nearly swallowing the lake water. He struggled to get the phone and activated Pisces.
STANDBY CHANGE: PISCES
Now in the diver form, he looked around. He saw Ash, powered down to his base form, floating lifelessly and quickly swam towards him. Picking him, he turned and swam out the sinking ship. He sped his way out of the water and with a gasp breached the surface.
He looked at Ash. "Stay with me Ash, we survived a crash and other crazy stuff, a lake is not going to kill ya." He said swimming towards the shore.
Misty saw the two and not even caring about the coldness of the water, she dived in and swam to the two.
Drew looked to see the red head. "Give me a hand here Misty, Ash has been knocked unconscious and I don't think the cold water is going to help."
With Misty's help they helped Ash get to the shore. With him still in his armor, Misty removed his helmet and to get him to breath. Listening for a heartbeat and finding one, she started CPR with her friends watching on in concern.
After the first set of compressions, she went into to give him mouth to mouth. A few seconds of kissing and suddenly she felt him kiss back.
She released to see Ash opening his eyes. "Hey Mist."
Misty growled and whapped on the back of the head. "You. Really. Need. To ST—MMPHH!" Misty started to rant before Ash cut her off and any anger she had melted away. Upon releasing, Ash chuckled at the dazed expression on her face. "Better?"
Misty nodded as she helped him up and pulling off the belt to get rid of his armor. They looked at the water to see it calmed down.
"What happened to J?" May asked.
"Where she needs to be. A grave. If the impact didn't kill her, the cold water will." Drew said coldly.
All the riders shivered and yet found comfort one of their opponents would never be a problem again.
Ash turned to talk to the others when he spotted his old rival.
"Gary?"
Gary waved his hand. "Hey Ash, long time no see."
"It has. How's being a researcher treating ya?" Ash asked as Drew evaporated the cold water.
"Its been alright, though as you can tell, I got caught up in this mess with Team Galactic." Gary then looked at the trainers. "What I want to know is how the heck did you guys do all of that?"
Before they could respond another truck rolled up with a familiar crop of blonde hair.
"Cynthia!" Everyone in the group said.
"Hello everyone. I hope you've been well. Gary, we've lost contact with our spy in Team Galactic. I fear he may be captured."
Gary growled. "Damn it. They got Looker. And we don't have that Commander to hold hostage to get him back. We need to get to Mt. Coronet now!
"Isn't Looker the police man that's been hounding us because of you know what?" Dawn asked.
Gary lost his patience. "Okay, tell me what's going on right now! You are clearly hiding something from me and it involves those creatures that nearly killed me."
Professor Rowan rolled up and walked over to the jeeps and got in.
"This goes back to when we entered the Sinnoh region, actually it goes back to when we were in Hoenn. Those shadow creatures attacked the Mirage Kingdom and capture us. Thanks to the efforts of Drew, Tori and Gabby, they were pushed back." Ash said.
"As our journey continued, we were attacked multiple times. The armors you saw Ash in is the key to beating them. They are called Kamen Riders." Drew continued.
"As time wore on and we battled them, one by one each of us woke up our own set of armors. In order, they were Ash, Me, Misty, Max, Brock, Anabel and then Dawn. Counting Drew, Tori and Gabby, there are currently ten armors." May finished.
"What made you special as to awaken these armors?" Rowan asked.
"Long ago there was a Kingdom that encompassed a large world. Their protectors, their Knights were called Kamen Riders and the group's leaders were called Guardians. Currently, Ash, myself and Drew are the other awakened Guardians. We got them because we are their descendants and as far as we know there are four other worlds, including Drew's that have these riders." Misty said.
"This particular group is led by a man named Glenn. He has access to a lot of money and helped Team Rocket before we ended them and now he's with Team Galactic and his goals are obvious. Destroy this world and make sure his master can fight unimpeded." Brock said.
"What about J?" Gary asked.
"J is what we dubbed a Dark Rider. Glenn has another belt like hers did and a third trainer has access to those powers as well." Max said.
"You said you had a spy in the camp?" Tori asked.
Cynthia nodded. "Yes, he is supposed to be an infiltration expert, but it looks like he got caught."
Gabby smiled. "Its fine, besides we have our spies in the camp. Close enough to pass on information if they needed to."
Before Cynthia could ask, Dawn gasped. May looked at the blue-haired coordinator. "What's wrong Dawn?"
"It's Mesprit. He's in pain."
Brock grasped his head. "Uxie as well. They are being tortured."
As the two trainers were grasping in pain, they suddenly felt light and vanished from the cars. Cynthia stopped the car as she saw the trainers disappear.
"Where the heck did they go?" Gary said.
"I don't know. If they were talking about the lake trio, then they must be at Mt. Coronet. We need to hurry." Cynthia said flooring the gas pedal.
At Team Galactic's Headquarters (DP152 Picks up around here)
The riders were teleported into a room and fell to the ground. Upon standing up they looked to see the lake guardians in some sort of prison.
"No, Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie." Ash said.
"We need to get them out of here." Drew said as they took out their weapons.
"I would not try that riders." Glenn's voice said. They all turned to see Glenn, Cyrus, Paul, Team Rocket and a multitude of grunts and troopers looking ready to tear them apart.
Cyrus chuckled. "Magnificent isn't it? The power that the lake trio possesses are exactly what we need to finish my plans."
"And what exactly would those plans be?" Ash asked gripping his sword harder.
Cyrus looked at the riders. "Tell me something. Are you satisfied with the way this world is? All of the pain, all of the suffering? People die because of their hunger, pokémon perish because of neglect. Fires, famine, floods, landslides, and blight, everything in this world is perpetual suffering."
He approached the riders. "I wish to create a world of my very own. One without the pain of loss. A world of my very own creation, one where I am god. One where I control what happens. To do this, we have taken the lake pokémon, Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf. These three pokémon combined with the Red Chain we have created and the Relic Key we acquired, will allow us to reach the original pokémon Arceus. By taking the control of the God Pokémon, I too will become a God. Once I have the power, this world will no longer matter as I will wipe it clean and begin anew.
He focused on the Earth Riders. "Glenn has told me some things based on preliminary scouting in your world. Wars wage thousands of miles away, you pollute the sky, you destroy the oceans, you cause the deaths of thousands of species. Would you wish for a world without such things?"
Drew looked down. "In some ways…your right." Getting Cyrus to smile and the other riders to look at him in shock. "I know my world is full of pain and suffering. But I know that the path to a better world, is not killing the world. It's through brotherhood, through friendship and more importantly protecting yourself from your enemies. Wiping out the world will not bring what caused you to go down this route in the first place." Drew then held his sword up. "We'll stop you and make sure your buddies join you either in prison or the afterlife."
Glenn chuckled. "You are delusional, you are clearly outnumbered here. How about this, surrender and we will let you be the first victims of the summoning of the new world."
Drew looked at the group and mentally went through plans to get them out of this mess. Looking back at their opponents, he looked and saw Jessie and James nod as if they what he wanted them to do.
"Too many to fight. Guys sheathe your weapons."
At their shocked looks, he explained. "It was going to be a bloodbath and I am not going to put you in a battle that we have no chance of completing our mission alive."
Glenn laughed evilly. "You made a wise yet stupid decision. Grab them and their weapons. Toss them into the jail cell we have that cop."
Several troops came and grabbed them with some of the girls resisting until they were restrained and dragged off to the cells.
"With those brats out of the way, our plans can proceed to the final stage." Cyrus said as they began loading up the lake pokémon.
Glenn turned to Team Rocket and handed them a bag. "Watch those brats and hold onto their weapons. They are nothing without their weapons."
Jessie and James nodded and escorted them straight to prison. Unknown to Team Galactic, the two Team Rocket members had hidden smirks on their faces.
In the jail cells, the heroes were tossed not too gently into two separate cells.
One of the grunts grinned. "You trainers sit nice and tight. Once our boss has awakened the dimension pokémon, you will have a front row seat to this world's destruction."
The trainers glared as the grunts as they walked out of the basement. Once out of ear shot all of the trainers relaxed. Ash looked at Drew in a separate cell. "I don't get your logic sometimes…but I understand why you did that. You did not want us overwhelmed."
Drew chuckled. "Yeah. I read the situation and I made a decision to make sure we stayed alive. Besides, it actually works into my plan."
"What plan? As far as I know the only plan was to get ourselves captured." Misty said from the other cell.
"Simple. We've now entered a chess game. And I think I just set up a way to not only get us out of the mess but possibly end these guys.
"Getting out of here would be pretty nice." A familiar voice sounded. They turned to see Looker in the jail cell that contained Ash and Drew.
"Nice to see your okay." Ash said.
"Yes. Though I feel we are too late to stop Team Galactic from executing their plans. We need to get out of here and keep them from destroying the world. But the question is how?"
Before Looker could think, steps were heard from the down the halls. As they got closer, the lights in the cell revealed it was Jessie James and Meowth along with a couple of guards.
"You three? What are you doing down here? Have you come to gloat?"
Jessie giggled sinisterly. "Oh such powerless twerps. We have all of your gear and weapons. And we get to watch you squirm as they carry out the final steps." She turned to grunts. "Go help load all of the gear, we got this."
The grunts nodded and left the room. After a few moments of assuring the grunts were gone, Team Rocket's looks changed from sinister to one of disgust.
"Tch…good luck with that." The trio turned to riders. "So you decided to let yourselves be captured? Pretty bold for you guys."
"Yeah, we knew even we were outnumbered here." May said.
James nodded. "Good call. So what's the plan now?"
"We let them take us to the Spear Pillar." Gabby said looking at Drew who was a little surprised. "I know you. You're the type of person that can think on the fly. Give you enough time and you can probably beat anyone."
Drew smiled. "Thanks, Gabby. Now, I am going to have to dive into your fears Gabby."
"My fears…oh. Right. I got it." Gabby said grimacing.
Drew nodded and turned to Team Rocket. "Your role is simple. Keep up the façade and when we strike take care of the pilots and fly us in."
Meowth waved his paw. "No sweat twerps. Got to say, it's a good thing we partnered with you all."
James nodded. "Yes. At least we know you won't kill us. By the way, we've got your weapons, bags and belts. Just take care of the grunts and troopers that will be on the copter."
Jessie turned around. "Alright, they want us to escort you to the copters to see their plan unfold. We need to do it quick."
As one the riders and Looker were led to the dropship. The expressions on their faces switched to evil smirks and frowns as the riders were loaded up and took off.
About a half an hour into the journey, with all of the prisoners in the cargo hold, Drew looked at Gabby who was across from him and nodded and started to breathe heavy.
"Let me out. This thing is going to crash, don't want to end up like that day." She started rocking back and forth.
"Gabby come on, don't freak out. Your going to get us in more trouble." Tori said comfortingly.
"Hey what's going on in there?" A couple of the grunts came over to see the commotion.
"She has aerophobia. Something caused by a trauma she saw." Drew said keeping up the ruse.
"Well then shut her up, she is distracting our pilots."
"If you would let me go and comfort her I won't cause any trouble." Tori said.
The grunt looked and nodded and released Tori's restraints. She walked over and hugged Gabby and then ever so slowly reached down and using a hidden knife cut the ropes binding Gabby.
"You good?" Tori asked.
Gabby nodded and Tori walked over to the grunt. She looked down. "Sorry, can I tie my shoes?"
"Hurry up brat." The woman said.
Tori knelt down and seemingly started to tie her shoes up. Just as she did so Gabby leapt up and punched the grunt in the face.
The second grunt with them turned and was about to yell for the others when May who was free from her bonds grabbed the rope and started strangling him. The others got free and started to move through the ship. The grunts and troopers saw the riders and policeman free. Before they could react, they were already on them knocking out or destroying them as needed.
Up in the flight deck, the pilots heard the commotion.
"What's going on? Hanger Bay answer me!
"It's the trainers. They—AAGHHH!"
Jessie and James came in at this point. "What's going on?" Jessie asked.
"The trainer's mam. They've broken free."
Jessie nodded. "Okay then." And then the two Rockets proceeded to smash the pilots into the dashboard.
"Heh…you shouldn't trust a pair of snakes." James said. He pressed the communication button. "Cockpit secured. How is the cargo hold?"
Ash kicked the last grunt in the chest. "We're all good let's go kick their butts."
The plane flew to Mt. Coronet to the staging area. Upon landing, Commander Saturn and Commander Jupiter went to escort the seemingly bound trainers and police man. When they got inside, they were shocked to see the grunts knocked out and no sign of the troopers and the power out. The troopers were sent in to see if they can find the riders in the plane as they could not have gotten off it. Unknown to them, the riders were hiding in an effort to sneak attack them. Max was waiting for one to get in position away from the others. Once it did, he took a deep breath and jump impaled both of his sais into the neck.
The muffled yell was enough to get the others to turn to him and this was enough warning to get the other riders to strike them with their backs turned. In quick order the troopers were dispatched.
Outside the plane, the grunts and the two commanders were listening as the troopers were dispatched. Before Saturn could respond, the trainers leapt out and tackled the grunts down. Before Saturn and Jupiter could release their pokémon, Brock and May tackled them and restrained them.
Saturn coughed as Brock held him. "Your too late, our bosses are in there about to awaken Dialga and Palkia. You can't stop them."
"We'll see about that." Brock said before he knocked them out.
Looker looked at the riders. "I will call headquarters. Go save Sinnoh now!"
The riders nodded and headed towards the cave that lead to Spear Pillar.
Inside Spear Pillar
Cyrus and Glenn were smiling. They used the Relic Key to open the way to room and now were at a place with two pedestals. Paul and Charon set the three lake guardians in a formation that could direct their energies. Cyrus and Glenn placed the Adamant Orb and Lustrous Orb in the pedestals. Cyrus turned around to two of the grunts.
"Fire the Cannon."
The cannon charged up and the fragments on the lake guardians glowed in a circle. Two shapes appeared in the resulting energy storm. Glenn laughed evilly and tossed two of the fragments at Dialga and the chain's energy began to control them.
It was into this scene that the heroes ran in on.
"Oh no we're too late!" Dawn gasped.
"Not if we can help it!" Misty said as they pulled out their weapons. Mars and Paul turned around and saw the trainers. Mars released her pokémon while Paul snapped his fingers pulled out his belt.
Before Mars could order her pokémon, something knocked into her Purugly. The trainers turned to see Cynthia.
"Cynthia what are you doing here?" Max asked.
"We knew where you were going after you guys were teleported. Gary is outside with Team Rocket and Looker coordinating the arrests of Team Galactic. I also saw that Mt. Coronet was starting to distort. I am guessing they've awoken the two legendary pokémon. I never thought I would be meeting the lake trio and the legendary pokémon like this." Cynthia mused.
"Right Ash, Dawn, Brock." The three looked at Drew. "You three are connected to the lake trio. You go save them. We can take care of things here."
"Are you sure?" Dawn said a little timidly.
"Don't worry Buneary. We got this." Misty said.
"Your not going anywhere!" Paul yelled and was about to launch an attack but Drew cut him off with a fire attack.
"If you want to face anyone it will be me." He said pulling out his phone.
STANDBY LEO
"And Me!" Misty said pulling out her card and inserting into her buckle.
Paul tched. "Whatever. I can destroy two Guardians in one day. That will make my life." He said as he took out his belt.
HENSHIN
COMPLETE/EVOLVE
With a silent signal the three riders clashed.
In the pillar room, Ash, Dawn and Brock gasped at what they saw. It was the shapes of Dialga and Palkia and what looked to be two colored beams heading towards Glenn.
The gasp caught the attention of the two men.
"Your too late riders. My plans for a new world is complete you can stop us!" Cyrus said.
"We'll see about that! Ready?" Ash said as they pulled out their buckles.
"Ready!" Dawn and Brock said as they went into their poses. Glenn put his cards do the same.
HENSHIN
EVOLVE
The four riders took out their weapons and leapt at each other. Dusk blocked Onyx's overhead swing and kicked out against Hanabi. She danced back and fired off a Discharge. Dusk dodged it but the attack had the effect of distracting Dusk enough for Aura to break on of the chains that were on the lake trio specifically Azelf. Dusk turned and growled and went after Aura and they clashed their weapons. This allowed Hanabi and Onyx to head over and attempt to break the chains on Uxie and Mesprit respectively.
The machine that was bringing the two dimensional pokémon started to power down and the portal disappear.
Cyrus screamed. "NOOOOO!"
Dusk saw the portal disappear and then turned back to Aura. "Do you brats have any idea what you've done!?"
"Don't know, don't care." Aura said launching a Thunderbolt at Dusk to push him back and grabbed Azelf while Dawn and Brock grabbed the other two. Cyrus looked absolutely devastated as his plans fell apart.
With the Others
Triton blocked another attack from Dante with Zodiac connecting with a kick to the head. Dante rolled back and was slightly out of breath. A cursory look saw that most of the other hero riders were cleaning up the troopers and securing Team Galactic.
"What's wrong Paul? Can't keep up with us?" Misty said with a sweet voice.
Dante panted. "Yeah…right. I am just getting started."
Zodiac sighed. "Mist go to your Queen form and end this bastard."
Dante chuckled. "Oh so you've decided that you can't beat me without your stupid power-ups?"
Triton shook her head. "No, we just feel pity that we are matching you with just our base forms. I figured if we use my final form we can move on with our lives.
That caused something to snap in Dante and charged a Fire Blast and fired at Triton.
WATER SHIELD
Triton blocked the attack and then scanned the Queen Card.
QUEEN
Now in her more powerful form, Triton calm walked forward towards Dante. Zodiac was next to her and about to charge in when he looked up and chuckled. "Looks like your plans are history, Dante."
Dante looked up and saw that the distortion from the summoning of the two legendary pokémon began to dissipate. The Dark Rider snarled and charged at Triton with the intent to end this fight with Aura's friends below his feet.
In the chamber, Aura, Hanabi and Onyx were walking slowly to the machine. "It's over Cyrus. Come quietly and we can talk this out."
Cyrus was shaking. "No. NO. NOOOOO! It Will Not End This Way!" He held up the remaining Red Chain pieces. "Dialga! Palkia! Come Forth and Do My Bidding! Create My ideal world and Destroy this one!"
Through sheer willpower, the portal was reopened and the two pokémon were materialized. Glenn grinned at that and brought up two blank cards and absorbed the energy being given off. At the same time, Dialga and Palkia were being put under the control of Cyrus. The portal that was created was suddenly getting much larger.
"Now with these two under my control, Sinnoh, no the entire world will be created in my image."
Aura started to sweat a bit, looking at the large pokémon. "Guys go into your final forms!"
Not even flinching they pulled out their final form cards.
MASTER
DIAMOND
CRYSTAL
Glenn laughed. "They won't do you any good riders. Once they are unleashed, the pokémon of time and space will wipe out this pathetic world.
Hanabi looked concerned. If they did not do anything, everything would be lost.
"Maiden."
Hanabi looked down at Mesprit in her arms. "You must stop them. If you can get them away from the control of the mad man, we can calm it down."
Hanabi nodded and held up her weapon. Cyrus grinned and pointed at the riders. "Dialga! Palkia! End them!"
Dialga reared back and Palkia raised its arm and fired their signature attack. Aura was able to counter Palkia's Spatial Rend, but the Roar of Time was too fast and was going straight towards his friends.
MIRROR COAT
Hanabi ran in front of the attack and began absorbing the attack.
"Hanabi! Get Out Of There!" Aura yelled.
Hanabi winced. "No…need…to worry. Just destroy the shards." Hanabi said. She fully absorbed the attack and then pointed the beam at the machine powering the portal. The beam completely destroyed it and caused the portal to begin to collapse. At the same time Onyx and Aura slashed the Red chains on Dialga and Palkia freeing them. Exhausted, Hanabi collapsed to her knees and powered down.
Cyrus saw this and panicked. "No! My ideal world!" Before anyone could stop him, he jumped into the portal and disappeared.
While the portal was gone, the two legendary pokémon started going on a rampage. The Lake trio having recovered from their confinement, unleashed their powers to calm them down. It was a tense few moments of waiting as Brock and Ash powered down to watch it. When it seemed like the trio were going to give in, the two legendary pokémon backed down and eventually headed back to their dimensions.
Ash sighed and saw Dawn.
"Oh no Dawn!" Ash panicked. He went over and picked her up. A few moments of watching her later she opened her eyes.
"Dawn are you okay?" Ash asked.
Dawn had a pained smile. "No need to worry. I just need a good rest. That attack took a lot out of me."
Ash nodded and picked her up in a bridal carry. She looked around. "Where's Glenn?"
"Looks like he got away. I don't think we'll see him for a while." Brock said.
Ash nodded and with a good-bye to the lake trio, the three went to meet with their friends.
An hour later, Cynthia was helping with the arrests of what was left of Team Galactic. She was also fielding questions with the media that showed up on the mountain. The riders had slipped away before the media showed up.
"Cynthia what happened here?"
"We got word that Team Galactic was attempting to awaken the legendary pokémon, Dialga and Palkia. Through a coordinated effort with Professor Rowan, researcher Gary Oak, the International Police and a concerned third party, we were able to thwart these efforts. The leader Cyrus seemed to have disappeared and will not trouble us again."
"Who was this third party?"
Cynthia thought back to the friends. She knew that the operated in secret to protect themselves and their families. She smiled at the thought as she gave an honest answer.
"It was the Kamen Riders. The heroes that have stopped multiple monster attacks."
As she was saying this, the friends had flown down into the forest below Mt. Coronet. They started to run through the woods to get back on the trail and throw off any potential pursuers be they villain or reporter.
"Out of a respect to their privacy, please do not try to find them. They operate in the shadows to protect them and their loved ones."
Ash was leading the pack, with Dawn secured on his back. His friends were quick to keep pace through the foliage.
"They should be respected as heroes and not vigilantes. They have done more here today than anyone can give them credit for."
"Where are they now?"
Cynthia looked up in the sky. "Where ever the call is needed."
They come up to a familiar fork in the road. Brock points at a sign and then pointed to his left. They followed the direction indicated heading off to a new town, as their adventure in the pokémon world starts its final legs.
In the shadows
Glenn looked down at his hand. It had two cards, one that said Dialga and one that said Palkia. He looked to see Paul, wounded but still had a mad smile on his face.
"We may not have gotten all the power we need, but it will be enough to end this world and thoss riders. He he he HAHAHAHAHAAHHAAAH!
