-Part Four: Blank-
There was another crash as Suicune's body fell to the floor. Anarchaoss stood over her, cracking his knuckles as the water beast was teleported away.
"Three down." he stated. All that were left were Shaymin, Heatran, Palkia and Dialga. The twin dragons of space and time looked at each other nervously.
"Captain Orange." Dialga stated. Heatran crawled to the battlefield, across from the enigmatic biped. "He should be weakened by Entei, Suicune and Raikou, so you should be able to win."
"Right!" she shouted back. This was the true strength of the Seven EX-cellent Legendaries: their numbers slowly wore down the enemy.
"Alright, let's do this!" Anarchaoss said. "One I defeat you four then Mercifond will date me!"
Heatran paused at this. "Wait what?"
"Hold up! I'm getting a call!" Anarchaoss said. He paused, cocking his head to one side. Heatran had had enough of this ridiculous nonsense and launched a powerful Fire Blast from her mouth. It consumed Anarchaoss in flames, destroying the street he was on in the process.
When it was all over, Heatran was shocked to see a Light Screen from Anarchaoss' hand that had completely negated her attack against him.
"Wrong number." stated Anarchaoss "I hate it when that happens…"
Heatran leapt forward and used Crunch on the steel type, inflicting a good bite onto him. Anarchaoss responded by flinging her to the ground, to which she recovered immediately and launched a Fire Blast in his direction. Anarchaoss lifted his hands in front of him and created three barriers in between him and the fire. Just like last time, each of the barriers reduced the power and size of the Fire Blast so that Anarchaoss was hit by a weak spark when it got to him.
As they continued to battle, Palkia inched over to his brother.
"This guy is a lot stronger than we thought…"
"He will be defeated." Dialga replied. "The seven EX-cellent Legendaries have never once failed in battle, and this time will be no exception."
"But this is the first time we've ever been into a battle." pointed out Shaymin. Dialga glared at her. Palkia glanced at the battle, where he saw Heatran and Anarchaoss' attacks colliding.
"Do you think you can handle him on your own?" Palkia asked. Dialga raised an eyebrow. "…I was actually going to visit Unova before this happened."
"What's in Unova?" questioned the green hedgehog.
"Kyurem." answered Dialga, eyeing Palkia and the battle. "…I'm sure that Kyurem is fine Palkia. She is after all, Unova's guardian."
"I know, but… just in case." Palkia said nervously, clearly worried about her condition as well as the fact that ever since the takeover they had not heard from Kyurem. Shaymin walked up to Palkia asking him "Is she that important to you?"
"She's my mate." Palkia stated. At this, Shaymin was shocked. Yes she had heard that Palkia and Kyurem were close, but mated?
"W-wow Palkia…" the green hedgehog blushed. "I-I had no idea that you two were…"
"Yeah, bro can be quite the ladies man when he wants to." smiled Dialga, earning him a glare from his twin. "Look brother, I can assure you that she's fine. And besides, once we beat this guy then you can go after her."
At this, Palkia looked onward at the battle. Anarchaoss seemed to be enjoying the fight, taunting his opponent and announcing random phrases and gestures. When Palkia saw Heatran collapse from an impossibly large Flash Cannon, he realized that Dialga was right and this is where he needed to be.
Anarchaoss was proving to be even stronger than they had thought.
"…Shaymin. You're up."
"Why am I getting no screen time?" whined Posterus. "I'm supposed to be the guest appearance in this movie! Yet every time I appear the scene just transitions in the middle of my-"
MEANWHILE WITH IKARI
This time, Kairi was too preoccupied with fighting Toyman to yell at the narrator. Toyman fired a Flash Cannon at her, to which Gliscor quickly came in between and used Iron Defense. This turned him into a living shield, and the attack had no effect. Leaping over him was Kairi, who used her Styler to loop around Toyman twice before he broke the capture line.
Toyman responded with an Acid Spray attack that covered them all in poison, burning their skin. However, Mercifond quickly used her Angel's Offence powers to prevent further harm.
"Hm, been a while since my last fight!" Toyman launched a Discharge in all directions, slamming Mercifond to the wall and knocking Gliscor off balance.
"Mercifond, combo attack with me!" Gliscor yelled. "Use your Ice Beam!"
Without further word, the white bat launched a cold ray of energy from her mouth. Gliscor jumped up then swooped down with fangs coated in frost.
"Ice Beam!"
"Ice Fang!"
The two freezing attacks hit Toyman, knocking him back and dropping the temperature of his suit by an incredible amount. The two combined Moves had frozen him, and now it was Ruby's turn.
"My greatest attack: Blast Burn!" Ruby yelled, a large Focus Blast emerging from her palms. The brown sphere of fighting energy collided with the surprised Toyman, sending the Pokemon flying back again.
"Hah! I get a STAB on Blast Burn because I'm fire type!" Ruby huffed tiredly.
"…yeah…" Gliscor had learned to just not argue. He turned his head as Toyman emerged from the rubble, dusting himself off.
"Interesting…" Toyman said. "You three are stronger than I had suspected…"
"Yeah we are!" Ruby yelled happily.
"I suppose I had better stop playing around and unleash my true power."
"Yeah!" Ruby shouted. "…wait what?"
An explosion rocked the STAG Beetle.
"This can't be happening…"
Here in front of her was their greatest enemy. Absolix Michael Solaris- the Legendary of light, and the strongest Pokemon in the world. And now he had cornered Gardevoir in what she assumed to be another dimension.
"You can stop trying to Teleport." smiled the white being. "It doesn't work like that."
He looked to the side and gave an explanation. "This wonderful little space is known as 'Sub-Mu'. I assume you are familiar with the actual Mu?"
Gardevoir blinked.
"Honestly, what are they teaching you these days?" Absolix sighed. "Mu is the medium between Earth and the Distortion World. The boundary between life and death if you will. The purpose of Mu is to strip the soul of all its memories of its past life in order to prepare it for entry in the Distortion World.
This place is a little 'glitch' if you will. It is known as Sub-Mu, a place that is little known and extremely hard to access." Absolix said. "I believe that only myself and Arceus know about this place. There was another, but sadly Asmodeus is long gone…"
Gardevoir blinked at that last phrase. Absolix knew Asmodeus?
"As I was saying, Sub-Mu is more or less another Mu that does not properly function. It is still a void of absolutely nothing, but does not affect either the body nor soul in any way shape or form.
Another perk is that Sub-Mu also speeds up time when you enter it. One hour in here is equivalent to about ten minutes in Earth time. Which of course… give us plenty of time to chat."
Gardevoir tensed up. Without warning, she shot a Shadow Ball at Absolix, who didn't even bother to dodge. When the smoke cleared, he stood there, smiling.
"Cute." said Absolix. "But you ought to know that this time I am not here to fight you. Rather, you should thank me because I am taking pity upon you."
"…what?" asked the green haired psychic. Absolix took a step closer to her, but still was about nine meters away from Gardevoir.
"You see Gardevoir, I am going to give you a choice. You will choose whether you want me to let you live or let you die."
Gardevoir took a step back. A choice of life and death? But obviously, wouldn't she choose life? Absolix noted her reaction and spoke up.
"I know what you must be thinking. Why on earth would I want to die?" he said aloud. At this, Absolix's eyes suddenly became tense. "It is because of your light powers, my dear Gardevoir. And how I intend to exploit them."
Gardevoir remained clam. She remembered that the reason he had spared her was because she was 'more useful to him' alive than dead.
"You are an exquisite specimen Gardevoir. A being who is actually capable of equaling my power. In the war to come, don't you think that I would want such a power on my side?" he reasoned. "Now you see Gardevoir, I will use you and your fantastic light powers to destroy anything that opposes me. Naturally, you would be pitted against your friends. Logically of course, as they wouldn't dare harm their former companion…"
"No!" Gardevoir cried. "No matter what you do or say, I will never submit to you!"
Absolix grinned.
"I admire your will, my dear." Absolix said in a gentlemanly fashion. "But this is not your decision.
It's mine."
Absolix raised a hand. "Kill Darkrai."
And all at once, Gardevoir felt her mind blanken. She forgot who she was and what she was doing here. Her mind completely wiped, with the exception of a singular will- to kill a Pokemon named Darkrai.
Absolix released his hold. The white and green woman blinked a few times as her memories returned. She realized that she was shaking, and the greatest horror she faced was that when Absolix had told her to kill Darkrai, she had actually wanted to do it.
"Do you know what this is, Gardevoir?" Absolix said. "That… was barely one percent of what I will do to you."
Gardevoir was terrified beyond belief. Her eyes dilated, she fell to her knees, muttering about how it was not possible.
"This unique situation… has created a new form of mind control I have over you." Absolix explained, walking closer. "Actually, it's beyond mind control. Anytime I want, anywhere I choose, I can take control over you and command you to do whatever I please.
And considering you are just as powerful as I… well, the implications are endless."
Gardevoir tried to deny that all of this was happening. She tried as hard as she could to convince herself she was in a bad dream. Yet this was the truth. She felt what Absolix had done to her, she knew that if that was a mere fraction of what he was capable of that her will meant nothing against him.
Absolix was going to make her fight her friends. Gardevoir knew he was going to make her kill them. This was an inevitable fact: it was what he just told her. She was now more scared in her life than anytime else.
"And so you see, I will have you as my right hand woman- obliterating everything before me." Absolix smiled. "Alas, I am going to give you a choice. You are more useful to me alive than dead, but I will take pity upon you and give you a second option:
If you want, right here, and right now, I will kill you. In this way, I shall be prevented from using you against your own friends. Truthfully I dislike killing, but if I leave you alive there is a possibility you can be used against me."
He stared at Gardevoir, arms quaking and tears in her eyes.
"I will give you one hour to reply. Do you want to die and save your friends, or live in order to murder them under my command? One hour."
Gardevoir knew that she would rather die before she would dare lay a hand on her dear companions.
So was that what she needed to do?
"Then let's begin, shall we?" Zero smiled. Darkrai needed no further persuasion, and he charged at Zero with much force.
"Shadow Punch!" he shouted, forming a shadowy blob in his fist. Zero dodged out of the way and proceeded to loop around Darkrai once with his Styler. When he did so, Darkrai felt his resolve weaken for an instant.
"Remember who you are up against." Zero grinned, his Styler back in his hand. "If I loop around you too many times, your brain will be turned into mush- an equivalent of watching too much Ouran High School Host Club! From there you will be my mind slave…"
In the middle of his sentence Darkrai attacked again with an Ice Beam. Zero blocked it by raising his Styler line in the direction of the Ice Beam, breaking the line but sparing Zero any damage. Darkrai followed up with another Shadow Punch attack, but Zero quickly retreated to the skies with his air shoes, causing Darkrai to miss.
"Hey! Get back down here!"
"I bet you can't reach me now that I'm here, right?" Zero said. "After all, your fear of heights prevents you from simply flying up to get me…" he grinned, accurately deducing Darkrai's weakness.
"No way! I can do whatever I want!" Darkrai retracted his legs and flew two feet in the air before he crashed back into the ground in fear.
"As I thought…" Zero said in an amused voice. Darkrai glared at him, put his hands together and formed a ball of dark energy.
"Dark Void!" the sphere of black power launched more spheres from itself, all aimed at Zero and aiming to put him to sleep. Zero was prepared for this and activated his normal Styler's power and used the Move Safeguard around himself. A blue sphere formed around Zero and the black spheres harmlessly dissolved upon contact.
"Gr…" Darkrai grumbled. He launched a quick Shadow Ball, to which Zero easily dodged. His Styler came around Darkrai, and the pitch black Pokemon narrowly dodged being looped again. Zero tried it again and Darkrai found himself on the defensive; running away from the Styler as it tried to corner and loop around him.
"Dark Void!" Darkrai thought quickly and summoned a black hole in front of him. Darkrai ran through it and closed it before the Styler came in as well. At that very instant, another black hole opened next to Zero, catching him by surprise.
"Dark Pulse!" A wave of dark energy was fired from Darkrai's fist, Zero barely managed to protect himself with his Styler, but was still pushed back on the ground.
Darkrai landed, the and two charged at each other. Darkrai was able to land a Shadow Punch on zero directly, but Zero used this to looped around Darkrai five more times. Zero fell back, but Darkrai clutched his head in agony.
Zero stood back up, breathing heavily after being hit by an attack like that. He grinned when he was Darkrai having a huge headache.
"I warned you." Zero stated, Styler once again surrounding him. "I'm no ordinary Ranger, Darkrai- I am the greatest Ranger to have ever lived! Even after only five loops, you are halfway to being hypnotized by me! Another five and I'll capture you."
Darkrai thought that Zero's speech was fuzzy sounding, but forced himself to fight back. He launched twin Shadow Balls from his fists. Zero once again retreated into the air and sent his Styler after Darkrai. Darkrai tried to avoid it again, but his sluggish movements impeded his progress and Zero Styler looped around him twice more.
"Eight loops…" mused Zero, coming down as Darkrai fell to his knees trying to regain control of himself. "Is this really all Darkrai? I'm disappointed."
Zero looked at his own Styler: 30/60 points remained until it was out of energy. "Is this really it? I'm barely trying harder than when we fought last time! Is this really all you can do, Darkrai?"
"Shut… up…" Darkrai said fiercely. With great strength of will, he stood back up. His breathing was ragged, his body looked limp, and Zero thought that perhaps this would be a boring fight after all.
"Don't… you dare…" Darkrai said, although Zero could not understand him.
"Underestimate me…!"
Darkrai summoned some dark energy in his palm. Zero raised an eyebrow, feeling his Styler thinking he was going to attack. Darkrai stared at Zero, and with a mighty yell, he brought his open hand up and shoved it into his face.
Dark energy surrounded Darkrai, and he screamed from the pain that it brought him. Zero was wide eyed, believing Darkrai to be nuts.
'Did he just attack himself?' thought Zero 'What on Earth…? What is he thinking?'
Suddenly, Zero realized something. Darkrai's physical body had received no damage whatsoever. His attack wasn't hurting him. Then why was Darkrai shouting? The only logical explanation was that the pain had to be mental…
Zero paused.
He grinned.
"Darkrai… you…"
Darkrai's attack ended. His palm fell down, and Darkrai, though breathing heavily, appeared to be completely free of Zero's previous mind control.
"You infected yourself with a nightmare… a horrific illusion just to snap out of it…" Zero said giddily.
"Damn straight."
Before Zero could react, Darkrai had closed in on the distance between them and shoved Zero aside. Zero flung his Styler, to which Darkrai surprisingly caught with his bare hands.
"Dark Pulse!" Darkrai's palms fired a unified Dark Pulse which crushed Zero's Styler into nothingness. He threw what remained of the Styler at Zero, a small piece of metal that had survived.
Despite being at a clear disadvantage, Zero was still smiling.
"I knew it… I knew you had more power than this…!"
"Game over, Zero." Darkrai hissed. To his surprise, Zero began laughing out loud.
"At last…! At last a challenge!" Zero clutched his left eye with his left hand, grinning madly at Darkrai. He paused, his left hand falling slowly from his face, where Darkrai could have sworn he saw Zero's eye glow for a second.
"Darkrai, from now on I face you as a real opponent!" Zero declared. "Let's begin round two!"
From zero's pockets came two objects, saucer shaped that zoomed around Zero, leaving glowing trails behind them. One was grey colored and the other was yellow colored.
"You've got to be kidding me." Darkrai said, wide eyed.
"What!" Toyman screamed suddenly. He shoved off Kairi and Ruby attacking him and looked at something, wide eyed. "Is this… can this be Zero's true power?"
"What, what is it?" Kairi asked, suddenly very afraid. Toyman, without pause, snapped his fingers and a monitor appeared from above them. It showed Zero fighting Darkrai, but Toyman pointed them to a specific point of the battle.
"Look!" he shouted.
Kairi was wide eyed.
"What the-?" Gliscor gasped.
"TWO Stylers?" Mercifond said in fear.
Kairi looked herself and there was no mistaking it: Zero had summoned his two Stylers to battle Darkrai with. This meant that Zero was using approximately fifty percent of his total power.
Which also meant their chances of rescuing him were lowered to seventy percent…
"How is that even possible?" questioned Gliscor. "I always thought Rangers could only use one!"
"I have heard… that there are certain powerful Rangers able to control two Styler's at once…" Toyman stammered. "But I always passed it off as a rumor… and now I'm seeing it with my own eyes!"
Kairi also knew Toyman's fear. Even from the screen, she could feel Zero's intent to win through the mad gaze on his face, an expression she had only seen once. This was a technique that only three Rangers in all of history had ever possessed: the dreaded Twin Styler Method.
This technique was used only by a select few people in all of history. Since the Ranger union was formed, it amounted to three in total. The technique, as implied, allowed the user to wield two Stylers at once. This technique was extremely difficult to utilize- you had to have an enormous willpower to be able to accurately control two Stylers at the same time. However, if this was achieved, then whoever did so was able to instantly attain massive amount of power.
But the previous two historic figures had used it for good- they were said to be invincible on the battlefield and could instantly calm even the most ferocious Pokemon. Zero was different- because he only used it to mind control Pokemon. And that fact alone made him much more dangerous than the other two combined.
"I need to finish this quickly." Toyman stated, averting his red eyes to the team "I must collect data on this… and so you three must be eliminated."
His response to this was a strong uppercut to the face. Toyman flew back, only to realize he had been punched by Gallade.
"How dare you mind control us!" Cresselia said angrily.
"Cresselia! Malispite! Gallade!" Gliscor shouted. The three had awoken, the two men were cracking their knuckles and Cresselia was barking off orders like usual.
"Gallade! Malispite! Use a combination attack on him!"
"You got it! Demon's Offence!" Malispite growled, tattoo's glowing red. "Gallade, you ready!"
"Psycho Cut!" shouted Gallade in response.
"Thunderpunch!"
Their two attacks collided with Toyman's shield, sending the masked mechanical Pokemon backwards. However, Toyman held on, and used his strong four legs to push them back with a large effort.
"I don't think so! I give you my signature Move: Coil Cannon!"
Millions of wires came form the STAG, morphing into a tubular shape, and then launching a ludicrous amount of electricity at the team.
"Mercifond! Kairi! Ruby!"
Understanding what needed to be done, the three women including Cresselia fired off four separate beam Moves to attack the Coil Cannon. An Ice Beam, a Psychic, Poison Sting and a Fire Blast combined to form a giant sphere which met the Coil Cannon head on, exploding in the center of the impact and destroying both attacks in the process.
"Strong…" Toyman muttered, seeing as how they neutralized his signature Move. "Nonetheless! Flash Cannon!"
He attacked again, but the seven of them dodged it easily. However it scatter them, which was Toyman's plan all along. Summoning two more giant wires from his arms, he launched at them two massive Coil Cannons. The seven tried to dodge the insane amount of electrical energy, performing barriers and the like, but this time it shocked all of them to the ground.
"We have… to get… past him!" Cresselia gasped, bruises all over her body. Toyman made no hesitation and fire off another two rounds of Coil Cannon. Once again, none of them were able to completely dodge it. The five Pokemon and human were on their needs, gasping for oxygen after being electrocuted.
"Hah! You missed me!"
Toyman barely had a second to widen his eyes before he was punched from behind. It was a Mega Punch attack that sent his upper half to the ground.
"Malispite!" Mercifond cheered. Malispite did not let up after that attack- he charged up both his fists and attacked Toyman in a series of furious punches. Toyman was able to defend with his pink energy shield, but that became broken after the first five hits. After the shield was gone, Malispite used all his power to deliver one hundred blows to Toyman's body.
When the finishing blow was completely, Toyman and Malispite collapsed. Malispite's Demon's Offence wore off, and he fell even further from exhaustion.
"Brother, you did it…!" Mercifond realized, quickly flying over and hugging her twin. Malispite grinned at her, then coughed trying to speak.
However, it was not as it appeared. Just as they were celebrating Toyman's defeat, there was a whir and click, and Toyman's body began operating again. The white bat flew her injured brother over to safety as Toyman rose once again.
"Im… Impressive…" gasped the armored Pokemon. Gallade and Ruby stood up as well, standing side by side ready to defend their team.
"It appears as though… I really am… outnumbered…" Toyman wheezed, his mask cracking a bit. "I can still fight, but I cannot… defeat all of you."
"That's what I said…!" Cresselia breathed heavily as well. "You may be able to beat one of us… but not all seven…!"
Toyman huffed from within his armor. "Great… this really isn't fair… you know? Whatever happened to honor…"
"We need to save Zero." Kairi stared at him seriously. "Honor can wait until after all of us get out alive."
"…Great… now my mask is cracked." Toyman said, as another crack appeared. "I can't let you all see my face…
Victory is yours, Cresselia. But, I'm still locking this room…"
Toyman gave one last growl, and the steel door behind him shut completely. The sound of locks was heard, and the blinker on the steel door turned red. This done, he collapsed.
"What! After all of that you lock the door on us?" complained Malispite, still in Mercifond's arms. "What a sore loser!"
"Honor can wait, remember…?" chuckled Toyman. "Besides, we have a monitor of Zero and Darkrai battling, just watch that."
The monitor flew down once again, and everyone checked the status of the battle between Zero and Darkrai. Unfortunately, static filled the screen. Toyman mentally fiddled with the device, and found that it was broken.
"Hm… they must have broken the secret camera I placed earlier…" mused Toyman. "I suppose we'll know who wins after one of them comes down."
"Stand back…" Gallade said. He went over to the steel door, figuring that he could break it open with his power. With a roar, he activated his greatest attack- Swords Dance. This Move doubled his power, his arms surging with bluish colored energy, his blades extending to the ceiling. "CLOSE COMBAT!"
He was able to nail in three hits to the door before he had to cancel the Move. During that time, he made three huge dents into the steel wall, but it did not break open.
"Shoot…" Gallade collapsed. "That's all I have… my EP is spent…"
"Tough door." Gliscor frowned. "Well we have to get in… wait, I know! Kairi, you a human, go break it open with your mind or something!"
"What?" Kairi said through her Styler. "What do you mean by that!"
"You know! Press buttons and stuff to get it open!" Cresselia explained hastily. Sighing, Kairi supposed that she could give it a try. She walked over and found a panel next to Toyman.
"It looks like it opens with a password…" Kairi examined. "But I obviously don't know what the password is."
"Nachos." said Cresselia, Ruby and Gliscor immediately. "That has to be it."
Kairi paused. She turned around and glared at them. "It only has numbers."
"OH NOES! NOT NUMBERS! ANYTHING BUT THOSE!" screamed all the Pokemon at once.
"What? What's wrong with numbers?"
"POKEMON AREN'T GOOD AT MATH!" screamed all the Pokemon at once.
"THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MATH!"
MEANWHILE WITH ANARCHAOSS
"Oh shoot they're not good at math!" Anarchaoss widened his eyes. A pause. "Wait, why is that important again?"
"ARE YOU STILL IGNORING ME?" Shaymin shouted. "You've been running away from me wince the battle began!"
"Oh right! I remember now!" Anarchaoss grinned. He summoned a whole lot of energy into his fist and charged at Shaymin. Shaymin glowed green and performed a Seed Flare shock wave to counteract his fist, now lit aflame.
"I! FORGOT!" Anarchaoss screamed. "WHAT I CAME HERE FOR!"
With that his Fire Punch broke through Shaymin's Seed Flare and he struck her small body with a flame lit fist, causing her to be sent flying into a building.
"WHAT THE HELL KIND OF WAR CRY IS THAT?" Dialga and Palkia shouted angrily and confused at the same time.
"And with that, there are two left." Anarchaoss grinned at Palkia and Dialga. "However, this cannot be because I am bad at math… therefore there are three of you left instead!"
The twin dragons of space and time stared at Anarchaoss, wondering just what this man was talking about.
MEANWHILE WITH POSTERUS
Posterus sighed. "Finally I get a-"
MEANWHILE WITH PALKIA AND DIALGA
"OH NO YOU FREAKING DON'T!"
Everyone in the Hall of Origin was shocked by Posterus' sudden outburst. He stomped on the ground angrily, flames in his eyes. "I WON THE CONTEST FAIRLY AND I DESERVE TO BE A MAIN CHARACTER IN THIS MOVIE!
So from now on I will be fighting Anarchaoss and the shift will focus on ME!" declared Posterus angrily, stamping his foot to prove his point.
WAIT- CAN HE EVEN DO THAT?
"I JUST DID!"
And with that, the blue dragon leapt out of the Hall, landing in between Palkia, Dialga, and Anarchoass. "You're fighting me now!"
"Wait what? But the seven EX-cellent Legends-"
"I DON'T CARE I'M FIGHTING HIM RIGHT NOW!"
Palkia and Dialga did not argue further. Satisfied, the great blue dragon unveiled his wings, stretching them out for intimidation. "Now then Anarchaoss, you will be defeated by me!"
"I highly doubt that." grinned the steel type.
"I can predict your every move!" smiled Posterus, his white runes on his body ominously glowing. His eyes glowed a light blue, and he began to see into the future.
Anarchaoss, bored, used Fire Punch on him and caused Posterus to topple over. The blue dragon recovered immediately, eyes wide.
"What the-? How did I not see that coming?" he wondered aloud. Thinking it was an error on his part, he quickly fired a Dragon Pulse at Anarchaoss. The grey steel type smiled broadly and did a back flip over the shockwave, landing on a telephone pole. He raised his hands and the Dragon Pulse went through a series of barrier, shifting directions until it was aimed right at Posterus, and much larger as well.
Posterus, thinking quickly, fired another Dragon Pulse at the larger one to subdue it. However, Anarchaoss took control of that one as well, and the two crashed into Posterus. When the smoke cleared, the blue dragon was covered in bruises.
"Impossible!" said a wide eyed Posterus. "How can I not predict what he does next?"
"You want to know?" Anarchaoss did another flip and landed back on the ground. "It is because… I am a Pokemon of pure chaos!"
"What?" gasped Palkia, Dilaga and Posterus.
"I shall now reveal the secret to my randomness:" Anarchoass smiled broadly. "I am able to accurately sense every single particle in the known universe!"
"Wait, how does that make him so random?" Dialga was confused. Palkia was wide eyed.
"But if he knows the location of every particle in the universe…" Palkia gaped. "Then that means he can accurately predict every single event that will happen in the future!"
"What?" Dialga gasped.
"Correct!" Anarchaoss said. "Because of this fact, I am actually an omniscient creature! I know everything in the past, and I also know everything in the future!
However, I am only a single being! Therefore my puny mind cannot comprehend all the knowledge in the universe! So I get bits and pieces of it every now and then- hence why I shout out random things!"
Palkia widened his red eyes again.
"And with that, there are two left. However, this cannot be because I am bad at math… therefore there are three of you left instead!"
"Three left…!" Palkia realized. In this current situation there were indeed three of them left- he, Dialga and Posterus. Anarchaoss had predicted it even before it happened.
He was truly a fearsome opponent.
"…Oh Arceus, that's disgusting!" Anarchaoss said. "Wait what? No, that wasn't me! It wasn't even HIM!"
Either that… or he was simply an idiot. The world would never know.
"Wait a minute." Posterus narrowed his eyes. "What does all of that have to do with chaos and me not being able to predict you?"
"FISH AND CHIPS." shouted Anarchaoss, summoning a huge ball of flame from nowhere. It singed the air around it and lit up the sky. Posterus widened his eyes, impressed he could pull it off so quickly. "Take this- Kinetic Burst!"
The gigantic fire sphere was launched straight at Posterus. Becoming afraid, Posterus decided to shield himself with a Light Screen attack. The blue and purple barrier protected Posterus from the giant flame sphere for a little bit, but it broke through and caused a massive explosion that engulfed the blue dragon.
Anarchaoss grinned at his latest attack. From the smoke came Posterus, bruised and battered from the explosion of the Kinetic Burst. Anarchaoss crossed his arms, waiting to see what he would do next.
"You…!" Posterus cursed at Anarchaoss' ridiculous level of power. But, Posterus was far from giving up. "Recover!"
A green halo surrounded Posterus, and half of his injuries went away. He now looked less tired than before. "I shall be a main character in this chapter… and nothing will stop me!"
"Except for me." smiled Anarchaoss. "Meanwhile with Cresselia!"
Posterus: "Wait wh-"
TRANSITION… SEQUENCE? HOW DID HE DO THAT?
"Alright everyone listen up!" Cresselia barked. Using telekinesis, she levitated a chalkboard up to them. Watching her were Ruby, Gliscor, Gallade, Malispite and Mercifond. "We have to deduce the password so that we can save my little brother and capture Zero!"
"But how Cresselia?" questioned Ruby.
"We will have to do some advanced mathematics." answered the yellow and blue swan, turning to the chalkboard. Levitating a piece of chalk, she began writing on it. "Here is the equation. If we solve it then we will know the password to open the door."
At this, Kairi paused and looked at the chalkboard. Cresselia had written 2+2= ?on it.
"WHAT?" screamed Kairi incredulously.
"Gasp! What a hard math problem!" Gallade pointed out.
"That doesn't matter!" Cresselia said seriously. "No matter how difficult this problem is we WILL solve it to get that door open!"
