"Inteleon!" Cinderace yelled barging into the lab.
"Oh, hey ya, Cinderace how's it going out in the wild with Goh?"
"Inteleon what is that!" Cinderace pointed to the giant purple crystal that was sitting in the lab.
"Oh, that thing well funny story we're all just here minding our own business, and then this giant crystal just fell straight out of the sky"
"Inteleon don't bullshit me I know you did something"
"Okay so we may have gone out and stolen it but it was to save Flamigo from getting kidnapped by those who stole the equipment from the lab right Flamigo"
"Sure" Flamingo stared at the ground nervously.
"And who the fuck is he!" Cinderace pointed to Great Tusk.
"Oh, that's Great Tusk we also found him looking for the robbers"
"Where did he even come from"
"I came from the giant crater in the center of the land" Great Tusk replied
"I left you in charge of the lab for two weeks and this is what you do!" Cinderace shouted.
"Forget it I have to go something is going on in Cascarrafa" Cinderace stormed off "But this isn't over as soon as I'm back you gonna get it" Cinderace huffed as he walked over to Goh.
Inteleon smirked "Well guys I know where we're going today"
"Oh no, you don't!" Francois the Magnemite appeared in front of Inteleon.
"Cinderace gave me an order to not let you leave the lab and I'm going to uphold our actual leader's wish and-" Inteleon grabbed Francois and stuffed them inside a large palm leaf.
"Well now that's out of the way let's get going"
"What is that thing?" Ash stared mesmerized by the giant purple crystal.
"That's what we've been wondering" Ren responded
"After researching it we believe that it's a Poison Terra Crystal" Chrysa explained.
"You mean like the thing that lets us Terrastalize are Pokémon?" Iris asked.
"Exactly they come from The Great Crater of Paldea it's these crystals that alter the DNA of Pokémon causing them to Terrastalize" Professor Cerise explained.
"So Inteleon managed to get this thing into the lab how the hell did he do that?" Goh asked.
"We don't know how that happened someone stole all the cameras from the lab earlier but it's giving off such a strong signal that we were able to pick it up on the other side of Paldea"
"The concerning part is that we've found the same energy signatures on a Terra crystal coming from Cascarrafa"
"Do you think this has something to do with Team Galactic?" Iris asked.
"These crystals have an immense power being able to completely change a Pokémon's type but why they would they want this power I don't know I need to get in contact with Ms. Raifort and Professor Sada about this"
"Either way we wanted you three to go to Cascarrafa to see what this Terra Crystal energy signature is about," Chrysa asked "Chloe flew in from her research in Kalos to come to investigate she's already in Cascarrafa"
"Alright, everybody fan out let's finned this whatever we're supposed to be looking for" Inteleon yelled.
"Um, Inteleon do you know what Goh is supposed to be looking for?" Flygon asked.
"That is a good question Flygon you see I don't know what we're looking for but I'm sure that it can't be that hard to find especially with our top tracker Greedent"
"Alright, Greedent now tell us where the thing we're supposed to be looking for is, and is the Espathra connected to this?" Greedent pointed to a large hole in the wall.
"Wow you're good" Everybody followed Greedent and Inteleon into the building, The building was a large baseball stadium.
"Alright Flygon take, Absol, Aerodactyl, Sandile, Raichu, and Maushold left. Darmanitan take Greedent, Misdreavus, and Abomasnow right I'll take Great Tusk, Frogadier, Stantler, Spidops, and Lokix straight"
The three groups went in different directions Inteleon led his group down the main corridor coming to a stop when they entered the pitch.
At the edge of the field, a boy with dark green hair was on the phone with somebody.
"Yes so you sure this Iron Moth will be waiting for me at the boy's locker room," the boy said in a hushed tone.
"What do you think that's about?" Lokix asked
"I don't know but whatever it is it looks suspicious" Frogadier croaked.
"Well will find out if everybody just stays quiet" Inteleon whispered.
"Wish and I'm not gonna let you defy his orders again!" Francois screamed bursting from the palm leaf returning to the sentence he was saying back in the lab.
"Hey!" the boy turned around to face Inteleon.
"Bang!" before he could do anything Spidops came up behind him knocking him out with a folding chair to the back of the head.
Everybody stood frozen.
"Um, Spidops did you just kill him?" Stantler asked concerned Francois floated over and tapped the boy on the side.
"Well, yup he's dead super dead like dead as a door"
"Oh, no you're right what have I done" Spidops yelled.
"Well, that's a tragedy looks like we're gonna have to hide the body" Great Tusk picked up the boy with his trunk and threw him on his back.
"Wait what do you want us to just bury him like he's an old banana peel," Lokix asked.
"Well, what else do you want to do leave him here" Great Tusk responded as he walked down one of the dugouts.
"I agree with Great Tusk we don't want to get into any more trouble" Frogadier agreed following Great Tusk.
"Uh, oh trouble" Great Tusk announced as they turned the corner of the hallway Inteleon saw Flygon and Darmanitan's groups were corned by an odd metallic Volcarona, Hariyama, and Delibird.
"Is that the Iron Moth that you were talking about?"
"Yup"
"And who's the weird Hariyama and Delibird?"
"Well the big one is Iron Hands but I just call him Metal Brains cause that's all he's got in his head and the other one is Iron Bundle but everyone calls him Frozen Chicken Dinner"
"Hello, there ladies and gentlemen can I interest you, lovely folks, in Espathra the all mighty, and her endeavors to transcend this realm and become more powerful than you could imagine" Iron Moth rambled on in a strange robotic yet eccentric voice.
"What the fuck are you talking about" Aerodactyl yelled.
"Oh, it was easy to understand lad we just want to help you out you could say" Iron Bundle replied in a disturbingly happy robotic voice.
"Ya, bro what he said" Iron Hands added in a deep metallic voice.
"Why don't you tell us why you're really here?" Absol asked.
"Ya, I've never seen Pokémon like you around here before?" Abomasnow added.
"Oh, please you don't know who we are? we are simply the next step in Pokémon evolution born from the depths of the elemental crystal's"
"But Moth, I thought you said you were from Virbank City?" Iron Hands asked.
"Shut it you brain-dead hunk of polymer!" Iron Moth growled.
"Anyway as I was saying the elemental crystals that we have been bathed in since birth have given us extreme power beyond mortal comprehension and we can give it to you to"
"You can become shiny metallic versions of your former selves like yours truly" the three robots all did a striking pose.
"Or you could become a mighty beast like your ancient ancestors like Flutter Mane or Brute Bonnet, or Great Tusk" Iron Bundle turned his head eyes shining blue light on Great Tusk.
"Hey, speaking of the lad there he is in the flesh" Iron Bundle pointed at Great Tusk.
"Well, if it isn't my friend Great Tusk" Iron Moth flew over to Great Tusk.
"For the last time Moth-Man I'm not your friend"
"Oh, come on we've had plenty of great times together"
"Now can you tell everyone why you Metal Brain's and Frozen Chicken Dinner are really here"
"Of course being an evolved lifeform doesn't mean you have a good personality"
"I'm sure why you three are here doesn't have anything to do with the giant Terra Crystals that Espathra is so despite to get her talons on"
"Don't push your luck you overly preposterous Pachyderm!" Iron Moth's wings started growing bright orange.
"Pocket Webs!" Spidops yelled covering the robots in a Sticky Web attack.
"What do we do now Great Tusk?" Misdreavus asked.
"Now we run!"
"Oh, that's it you dead pal" Iron Moth shouted furiously melting the Sticky Webs with Fiery Dance.
"Bundle you have those Booster Energy's that Espathra gave you"
"Yes, lads take one" the three Paradox Pokémon absorbed the Booster Energy causing them to surge in power.
"Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!"
"Ash! Goh!" Chloe ran over to great Ash Eevee at her side.
"Hey, Chloe how's it going" Ash and Goh hugged Chloe.
Ash, Goh, and Chloe walked down the streets of Cascarrafa and down to the place that the Terra Crystal energy signal was coming from which turned out to be a baseball park.
"Oh, yes there was also someone else that my dad asked to help just waiting for him to show up"
"Vaultin' Veluza! I'm here" Kofu panted stopping to catch his breath.
"Hello there Kofu good to see you again"
"Yes, yes, the feeling is mutual Mr. Cerise was very persistent about this Terra Crystal stuff"
"So what is this place?" Chloe asked.
"Old baseball stadium used for the minor league I cook for them during the season"
"So can I ask what is this Team Galactic?" Iris asked
"There from Sinnoh, want to create a new world without emotion because emotion is holding people back, " Ash explained.
"I see so your cult brand of crazies," Kofu remarked.
"Yeesh, this energy reader is going off the chart," Chloe remarked as they entered the baseball stadium Goh didn't know how to describe it but he felt like there was an odd energy pulsing through the ground.
"Alright now remember to be very, very careful not to disturb anybody we don't want anybody to know we're here" the Team Rocket trio suddenly tip-toed out from the bleachers trying not to be noticed.
"Hey, stop right there!" Ash shouted.
"Ahh, it's not what it looks like we're just the janitorial staff!" James pointed to the uniforms they were wearing.
"It's the off-season you really think old man Kofu is that wet behind the ears I may be old but my mind is as sharp as a Veluza's Aqua Cutter"
"Alrighty, we're just trying to see what those Team Galactic twerps we're up to" Meowth held his paws"
"Wait you we're looking for Team Galactic that's what we're doing"
"Ya, we were serving up food at the market when we saw a bunch of grunts walking into the baseball stadium"
"Show us where you saw them"
"Alright the last place that we saw them was going that way I think they were going to the locker rooms over there" James pointed down to the other end of the field where the locker rooms were.
"Team Galactic attack!" A swarm of grunts suddenly dropped down from the bleachers and Ash and Goh were surrounded.
"Alright now, what's our plan wo!" Inteleon shouted as he douched an Ice Beam from Iron Bundle.
"Um, the plan is to keep running!" Great Tusk responded by dodging a Fiery Dance.
"Hold on!" Absol used Psyco Cut on the building knocking a chunk of the wall to the ground and blocking the Paradox Pokémon's path.
"Alright now, what do we do?" Sandile asked.
"That way!" Raichu pointed down the hall where a bright blue light was coming from behind one of the doors behind them Iron Hands easily broke through the wall with Wild Charge.
"Sweet mother of Sinnoh!" Abomasnow gasped inside the room sitting on a large wagon was a giant crystal like the one at the lab glowing an azure blue.
"Alright, does anybody know how to bobsled," Inteleon asked hopping onto the crystal.
"You want us to what now?" Maushold asked.
"Well there are three robots back there who want to kill us so I suggest you get on"
Everybody hopped onto the crystal with Great Tusk, Darmanitan, and Abomasnow pushing before getting on to gain momentum sending them flying down the hallway.
"All right I got you now Great- Oh shit!" Iron Moth was bowled over by the crystal as it went flying down the hallway out onto the streets of Cascarrafa.
"How do you steer this thing?" Stantler shouted.
"Don't ask me I just needed a way out of there" Inteleon responded.
"I think you've got bigger problems to worry about" Flygon responded Iron Moth, Hands, and Bundle were still chasing them.
"Look out!" Misdreavus yelled Iron Moth fired a Sludge Wave at the crystal.
"I got an idea" Flygon flapped her wings with Sandstorm sending the Crystal swirling out of the way of the Sludge Wave.
"Great idea Flygon" Inteleon complimented.
"Inteleon I don't know if that was such a great idea" Stantler yelled as the crystal went spinning into the crowded market.
People scream running in every direction to avoid the giant spinning crystal.
"Well you know what they say what's a good heist without a few casualties"
"Um,' Inteleon I think we're about to become the casualties" Great Tusk pointed out that they were spinning right off a cliff into the ocean.
When everyone resurfaced the robotic Pokémon were gone.
"Well everybody I would say that was a successful heist," Inteleon said confidently as they pulled the crystal out of the ocean.
"Well I'd call it awful" Darmanitan responded shaking the water from his fur.
"I agree with dar" Francois quipped floating above the water.
"Wait what happened to the guy Spidops knocked out?" Lokix asked.
"Don't worry he's fine I wrapped him in some silk" Spidops responded hauling the silk-wrapped body out of the water.
"So what are we going to do with the body," Frogadier asked.
"What do you mean body?"
"Well he's dead Misdreavus we should Barrie him"
"He's not dead"
"What!"
"As a ghost type, I would be able to tell if he's dead he's just knocked out"
"Oh, thank goodness I'm not a murderer" Spidops sighed with relief.
"Well, what do with him then we can't just leave him here," Francois asked.
"I say we just leave him here hope he wakes up and pretend that we never knew him" Inteleon responded.
"Yup, sure, great idea," everyone agreed with Inteleon.
"Alrighty then excellent job everyone now let's go home for some debriefing and cocktails"
"Attack!" the Team Galactic grunt's sent out many Glameow, Stunky, and Kadabra Ash sent out Dragonite, Finizen, and Wattrel, Iris sent out Haxorus, Team Rocket sent out Pelipper Kofu sent out Crabominable well Goh sent out Cinderace.
The grunt's Pokémon were hopelessly outmatched by Dragonite and Haxorus sent over a dozen flying each with Dragon Claw and Breaking Swipe Crabominable, Pelipper and Cinderace knocked out several more with Ice Hammer, Hydro Pump, and Pyro Ball even Finizen and Wattrel knocked out two Glameow with Aqua Jet and Pluck.
"You!" Iris picked up one of the grunts by the shoulders "Who sent you here?"
"Ov-oh Over there" The grunt weakly pointed to the locker rooms.
"It's locked" Goh grabbed at the door handle.
"Alright everyone stand out of the way" Kofu yelled as his Crabominable broke through the door with Brick Break.
"Where is that hunk of metal?" someone yelled from inside the room.
"You?" Team Galactic admin Jupiter turned around to face Ash.
"What are you doing here?"
"You know what's going to happen" Jupiter responded slightly sending out a Skunktank, Espathra Dragonite, and Haxorus stepped forward.
Skunktank went for Flamethrower well Espathra went for Lumina Crash.
"Haxorus use Breaking Swipe!" with a swipe of his tail Haxorus easily blocked the two attacks.
"Dragonite use Hurricane!" Dragonite launched a powerful gust of wind Skunktank went flying back but Espathra jumped out of the way to dodge it.
"You're outnumbered and surrounded here Jupiter you can't get out of this"
"That's what you think" Jupiter sneered smugly.
"Smoke Screen! Feather Dance!" Skunktank launched a cloud of black smoke well Espathra launched snowy white feathers obscuring Goh's vision.
Amongst the haze, Goh saw three strange metallic-looking figures float down in the mist.
Goh felt a blast of icy cold air rush by him as a metallic-looking Delibird fired an Ice Beam at Haxorus knocking the Axe Jaw Pokémon over.
Goh was knocked over from Volcorona's Fiery Dance hitting Dragonite although she shrugged it off hitting the moth with Dragon Claw beside him Pelipper and Crabominable were fighting the Delibird.
"Ace!" Goh locked up to see Cinderace be pushed over from the robot Hariyama's Close Combat.
Goh saw that Hariyama's body began to glow bright yellow as it charged up a Wild Charge Goh was puzzled he was pretty sure Hariyama didn't learn Wild Charge it could learn Thunder Punch but not Wild Charge.
The Hariyama ran forward at Dragonite but before it could get there Dragonite flew forward knocking out the Iron Moth with Dragon Claw and was now aiming straight for Ash.
"Ash look out Goh yelled throwing himself forward the Hariyama turned around to face Goh inadvertently smashing Goh with the full force of the Wild Charge.
Goh felt a smashing force it felt like someone slammed a football pole into his gut.
Goh went flying backward slamming into the wall.
The last thing Goh remembered was everyone's terrified faces as he blacked out.

Sorry, this chapter took so long on top of having my biology final next week I also got a cold so the next chapter won't take long so:)
Anyway, don't have much else to say the story should go faster now that I've got a full idea of the story I usually start with a couple of major scenes and then work my way back from there.
Anyway, see you next chapter:)
