Champions of Sinnoh
The only movie of this story with so many twists I can't explain them for myself. You have to read and find out all of them. Again thanks for the support of my loyal fans.
By the way, about the Power Rangers reference in the previous chapter, I have to admit it wasn't intentional. But it did brought a lot of good old memories.
But enough memories, we have a story to read!
Chapter 12: Rise of Legends
As planet Earth was known to exist in a fluctuating state of peace, a complete different dimension wasn't in the same state. Arcs of dark lightnings rampaged through thick cloud layers that stretched further than the eye could see. Floating hieroglyphic creatures with one big eye called Unown flew around nowhere like caught inside a hurricane from which they couldn't escape. The place looked like the birthplace for all kinds of terrible nightmares.
Three powerful entities of Reality floated over the clouds, each one surveying the other. They didn't dare to take their sight away knowing it would be very foolish to do so.
One was a bipedal theropod-like Pokemon with bright grey scales and dark pink stripes, with a massive body as tall as a four-store building. His forearms resembled gauntlets from where the power to distort the space came from. From his back two wings protruded with a long tail beneath. The purple Gems in his shoulders made his pearl-made body look even more majestic, the might to control the location in any place of the universe indisputable. He was known as Palkia, the Master of Space.
The other was a quadruped sauropod-like dark blue Pokemon. His body was framed with chunks of shiny unbreakable diamond, framed by lighter-colored stripes of azure. The diamond-hard constructs on his back resembled swimming fins, from which his staggering powers flowed allowing to go to the past, present and future without any kind of restrictions. His dark red eyes blistered with the unfathomable energy of Time. He was known as Dialga, the Lord of Time.
The last being of the threesome looked as a darker version of the previous two, his dragon features been his massive dark wings. They seemed to be made out of solidified brimstone. His entire body was segmented in shades of grey, red and gold almost resembling glowing jewels. His top body looked like a gigantic centipede while his lower half had six legs as thick as rock pillars. His platinum-colored eyes were framed by a golden crown-like ring. He was known as Giratina, the King of the Antimatter.
This were the Three Dragons of Reality. They were three of the mightiest beings of the universe surpassed only by their creator and father Arceus. But these Pokemon meeting never brought something good to anyone or anything. Mostly because they were never supposed to meet in all of eternity. But now for some reason they were. Fluctuations in between the home dimensions of these Pokemon Titans brought them out of their particular duties into the new chaotic battlefield distant from Earth. And these three Reality brothers were eternal enemies.
The three entities roared simultaneously, the clash of Titans starting in big.
Dialga widen his pearl-fanged mouth and unleashed a humongous orange-colored Hyper Beam, the sheer force completely aimed towards Giratina. The Antimatter Pokemon swiftly teleported into another dimension, dodging the mighty blast. With Giratina suddenly out of the scene, Dialga didn't notice Palkia charging bright energy in his gauntlet forearm. The lord of Space attacked his Time opposite with a pink-colored crescent Moon-shaped wave of deadly energy capable of laying waste to cities. The Spacial rend hit the Master of Time head on earning a yell of pain coming from his throat. The Lord of Time was sent careening back after hitting his opposite technique.
But Palkia took too much time for that, enough for another worm hole to burst open from behind him. Giratina shot forward surrounded in a dark aura over his towering insectic body. He hit Palkia harder than a plummeting meteor, earning a screech of agony from his Space brother and enemy. The Shadow force sent the Lord of Space flying away for what looked like kilometers without any stopping in his flight.
The Antimatter Pokemon wasn't any smarter than his brethren, however. His guard was completely down for Dialga to charge a deadly power in the giant pearl that resided in his diamond-armored chest. The gem shone with dark sapphire color and engorged the Pokemon' fins in his back. Dialga howled to the Heavens, a massive dark purple blast amassing in his mouth. The Roar of time fired off with the concentrated power to annihilate towns. Giratina had no time to elude it, the mighty blast impacting him like tons of artillery in the back. He was sent spiraling away screaming in white-hot agony coursing through his segmented body.
Without Giratina in picture, Palkia charged at his Time enemy with his body surrounded in a pink Barrier. But Dialga created his own blue-colored Barrier, the two guards clashing. Each contact between the two opposite Titans spread shockwaves through the chaotic dimension like threatening to torn the very fabric of existence apart.
Suddenly, a plume of burning dark blue fire surrounded the two Dragon deities after Giratina had used his powerful Will-o-wisp to start burning his opponents. The Time and Space Titans roared their bodies suffering from the scorching effects of the hell fire. The centipede king of the Reverse World flew like a fast shadow towards his Space and Time enemies, another red magma-hot attack charging in the back of his throat. The fire attack Eruption bursted with the heat of molten lava towards Palkia. But the latter was at the ready as well, cupping his hands to his right and generating a humongous pink sphere of life energy. He shot his hands forward, the Aura Sphere clashing with the massive lava blast. The two moves nullified each other producing a ravaging shock wave that hit the three entities like struck by dozens of nuclear bombs right in the chest.
Dialga hastily recovered his bearings and opened his maw, delivering a shower of yellow blasts towards both of his opponents. The Draco Meteor harmed Palkia and did some damage on Giratina. But the Antimatter Pokemon wasn't giving his Time brother any break. He unleashed his own giant purple sphere from his insect-like mouth. The Shadow Ball sent the Lord of Time head over heels through the thundering clouds. He then turned around and saw Palkia still coming back to his senses. The King of the Antimatter charged a blue-colored attack and fired it towards his Space enemy, the Dragon Breath earning a screech of pain from Palkia. But from behind Giratina, Dialga opened his maw wide and fired a metallic-colored sphere at deadly speeds. It impacted like a massive meteor, the Metal Burst doing extra damage to Giratina.
But the Reverse Pokemon looked in anger towards his sauropod brother and charged, with his body covered in ruby red by the devastating Giga Impact. Dialga didn't let him com close, slashing down with his city block-leveling Iron Tail. The collision sent even more bomb-like shockwaves bursting over the distorted dimension.
Palkia moaned in pain knowing he was at disadvantage. The cracked pink gem on his shoulder was the perfect sign for that grim omen. He torn reality apart with a slash from his clawed hands and left to find a proper place to heal back to full strength.
But his die-hard counterparts weren't going to give him that benefit. The entities chased after their injured brother and enemy. No matter where they ended up or who got in their way, the entities would spare no mercy against one another.
The couple of trainers Ash and Dawn walked through their path in the middle of a valley holding hands. They were heading for Alamos Town, their nearest place for a nice rest. Since their last encounter with Team Galactic things had been very calm for the couple. After so much time of training their Pokemon, both Ash and Dawn needed some downtime. Of course the downtime meant something more private than that.
"Shouldn't we have arrived already?" Dawn asked to her boyfriend. While she was used to walk at this point, it didn't mean she was a great fan of doing it.
"The map says Alamos is right on the other side of the hill" Ash responded to his girlfriend. He was used to travel by feet for long distances. He had gone through three regions and his shoes were still intact. But it seemed Dawn still had a lot of exercises to reach Ash's level of stamina.
Finally after crossing over the hill the couple found Alamos Town. The village stood a top of a giant mesa surrounded on its base by a clear-watered lake. The surrounding area were covered by snowy mountain picks and bushy forests, wild Pokemon visible running around. A bridge connected the isolated place with the mainland.
"Oh man. I'm already tired of walking!" Dawn said defeated her head slumping forward.
"We don't have to walk" Ash stated now with a confident smile, which earned him an eyebrow raised from Dawn. He quickly drew one of his Pokeballs out "Come out, Charizard!" Ash released his Fire/Flying from Kanto. Ash quickly climbed on his back as he had done many times in the past. But Dawn wasn't following his example.
"What's the matter, Dawn?" Ash asked his girlfriend.
"How do I know I won't fall?" Dawn asked, not very assure of climbing on the Fire Pokemon. While she knew Charizard was powerful, she was uncertain of how much he could hold the two trainers.
"Dawn, really? If Charizard didn't like you then he would have burnt you to a crisp the moment he met you. Dropping you from a high place isn't his style of doing things" Ash replied. The bluenette coordinator still looked apprehensive but she still grabbed Ash's hand and climbed up on Charizard's back. The fully-evolved Pokemon from Kanto flapped his draconian wings and took off towards the town.
"This isn't so bad, isn't it?" The dark-haired trainer asked a bit sarcastic towards his girlfriend. As they flew they passed some other Flying Pokemon.
"Not as bad as I first thought it would" Dawn stated her hands holding around her boyfriend's body just in case. Her mind then clicked with something "But why didn't you think of this while we were traveling?" Ash rubbed his head innocently earning an exasperated sigh from his girlfriend. The Dragon-like Pokemon took his trainer and his mate to the center of the town. The couple watched from above the bustling of the peaceful village, a lot of people just doing some tourism. Others were having Pokemon battles. Dawn and Ash recognized a lot of the Pokemon not only from Sinnoh but also the other regions.
The Pokemon from Kanto descended with his friends on his back. The two trainers jumped from Charizard's back once the latter touched the firm solid ground.
"We are finally here, Dawn" Ash said checking the place around. Dawn didn't say it, but she was glad to be back on solid ground. Flying wasn't her strong point.
"And we might actually have some downtime" The bluenette said stretching her arms while Ash recalled his Pokemon friend for a rest.
"Hey" Two voices said to the couple. One was a man dressed in a jean outfit with long black hair. Next to him was a red-haired lady dressed in a red with white top and a black skirt "How about a tag battle?"
"What do you say, Dawn?" The experienced Pokemon trainer asked his girlfriend "Are you too tired?"
"Tired for a battle?" The bluenette retorted a bit sarcastically one Pokeball already in her hand "You really don't know me a lot, Ash" The dark-haired trainer grinned. It seemed his girl had rubbed off his attitude for Pokemon fights. Aside from other kind of rubbing.
The four trainers walked towards their respective side of their field with Pokeballs at the ready. There were some bystanders watching the event.
"Okay Pachirisu, go!" Dawn released her small Electric Pokemon from Sinnoh.
"Glalie, I choose you!" Ash sent his fully-evolved Ice Pokemon from Hoenn.
"You are up, Empoleon!" The man sent out his Water starter from Sinnoh. The final form of Piplup showed up, standing as tall as his trainer with a black and blue body and a sort of golden crown in his face.
"Go Infernape!" The lady released her own Fire starter from Sinnoh. The final form of Chimchar arrived, a combination gorilla-ape with a long tail and white/red fur ignited with hot fire. The battle started.
"Okay Pachirisu, jump on top of Glalie and use Flatter!" Dawn ordered ready to finish this quickly. The Electric Pokemon jumped over the hovering Ice Pokemon and then sent out red waves towards both of his enemies. The waves hit the mark and amplified their special attack. But it also confused them with a dizzy expression on their eyes.
"Empoleon, start attacking!" The man ordered frantically. His Pokemon obeyed using the powerful Hydro Cannon but on Infernape. The Fire starter screeched in pain by his Type weakness.
"Come on Infernape, use Overheat!" The red-haired lady ordered. The Monkey did so though against Empoleon, who screamed in pain. The staggered opponents kept blasting each other the confusion not going off. Dawn and Ash enjoyed their victory while they didn't have to do anything.
"Glalie, use Earthquake!" Ash ordered the decisive blow. While the opponents kept hitting each other, The Ice Pokemon sent tremors over the battlefield. Pachirisu received no damage because he was't touching the ground. The two confused Pokemon were sent flying into the sky and landed hard. They were already knocked out once they touched the soil again.
"That was quick" Dawn flatly stated, recalling Pachirisu. Ash did the same with his Glalie.
"You can't say we don't make a great team" Ash said towards his girlfriend smiling. The bluenette thought about that.
"Depends for what. For battles we are good" Dawn said, her arms snaking around the trainer's neck smiling predatory "For sex we are the best"
"I should know" Ash teased back, earning a nudge in the arm. The couple sealed the deal with a kiss before they went to check around for a restaurant.
The two teens walked through the beautiful gardens of Alamos a couple of hours after having a nice launch. The splendor was just magnificent for the two Pokemon trainers. At the end of the path one could see three gigantic towers, the trademark sign of the unique town in Sinnoh. They represented the three powers that had created the fundamental forces of the universe. They were also famous because of their unique music capable of calming any angered Pokemon.
But as much as the couple enjoyed their downtime together, something had to ruin it. A green-and-white humanoid Pokemon with blades attached to his forearms run into scene frantically.
"A Gallade?" Dawn asked confused checking her Pokedex. The Pokemon pointed at something a couple of meters away from them. The Psychic/Fighting Pokemon ran towards it and the couple followed him.
"Someone destroyed the statue" Ash said, looking at the crashed monument. The Psychic/Fighting Pokemon looked sad by that.
"It's all because of Darkrai" A man's voice said arrogantly and very sure of himself. The new man in scene had a very militaristic outfit, a red jacket with golden shoulder pads and grey pants. He had extremely-combed pink hair with one visible curl. Dawn rose an eyebrow. The guy looked a bit like a human form of Lickilicky. Specially by his color pattern in his attire. Ash frowned knowing thanks to his Aura that he was lying.
"Wait, Darkrai?" Dawn stated a bit confused. Been native from Sinnoh, she knew pretty much everything about the Legends of the region "I know he's considered the legend of darkness but he is not the Pokemon of evil" Before the arrogant man Alberto could answer to that, a tree nearby fell startling everyone. It was cut in two. But it hadn't been cut in half by a Pokemon. The two splits had a bizarre purple color emanating from them.
Next to the humans, Gallade got up looking around for something. Ash suddenly detected something coming their way and tackled Dawn down to the ground. Just in time to avoid a shower of black spheres raining down from inside the forest of Alamos. The spheres hit Gallade and the arrogant man, surrounding them in a dark dome before dissipating. And the two fell asleep in the gardens. Their bodies were twitching like if they were suffering some bad dreams.
Suddenly, the entire atmosphere lighted up with the colors of the aurora. If that wasn't strange already.
"What's going on?" Ash asked in confusion, things changing around the forest without any logical explanation. The water fountain nearby had fire on its surface and the plants were withering into dead rotten remains. The trees kept falling apart without an explanation, the odd pink color slowly disintegrating them.
"It feels like the air is changing" Dawn said, feeling like if the oxygen was getting hotter to breath. She had seen some weird things before but this was too much for her.
That was when Riolu bursted out from his Pokeball, his red eyes checking around like if something was lurking.
"Ash, be careful!" The small Emanation Pokemon stated frantically, sensing the danger coming for his trainer and his mate "I can feel a dark energy nearby. A powerful one" Ash felt a tingling at the back of his head. His inner Aura power had to be reacting as a sixth sense towards a hidden danger.
"I felt it too Riolu" The trainer replied his aura obviously reacting to something. His sight tried to locate the invader. His now blue eyes checked around and found something. A unique powerful Aura coming from inside the forest, more accurately from a tree "Darkrai, show yourself!" Ash received no verbal reply.
Dawn tugged Ash' shirt. She was looking at something with fear in her blue eyes. The Pokemon trainer followed her line of sight.
From the shadow of a tree, the form of a dark being materialized slowly fading into existence from the soil. His body was entirely like a midnight black-colored ghost, an apparent white long hair covering one of his bright ice blue eyes, a red scarf around his neck. He had no visible legs beneath his waist line his long arms ending in apparent three sharp finger-claws. He was Darkrai, the Legend who feed off of Nightmares.
Pikachu and Riolu stepped forward, obviously detecting the dark energies of the intruder. The Electric Pokemon fired his powerful yellow Thunderbolt. But Darkrai casually rose his hand and fired his own blue-colored Thunderbolt. The two Electric attacks cancelled each other completely even in power. But Ash knew better than that. The Dark Legend wasn't trying to hurt them. Riolu now interfered, his hands cupping together and charging the blue Aura Sphere. He fired the attack at great speed. But Darkrai phased into the ground and became a stealth shadow. He sprinted through the soil and arrived behind the trainers. The two jumped back, not knowing what to do against the called Emperor of Nightmares.
"Leave this place" The Dark Pokemon stated in a dark voice. It surprised Dawn because she understood him perfectly. It had to be telepathy for sure. It wasn't a surprise for Ash though. He had met talking legends before.
"Why are you attacking us?" The Aura trainer asked, not wanting to attack Darkrai. But if the Pokemon dared to raise his hand against Dawn then Ash would answer back with everything he had.
"Not attacking. Protecting" The Dark Legend stated stunning the two trainers. His hands cupped again and charged the sleeping move towards Ash. The Pokemon trainer and his two Pokemon looked ready to go all out against him.
"Darkrai, stop!" Dawn said stepping in front of her boyfriend. The Dark Legend did so, looking with his bright eye at the young lady. For a moment he expected to be suffering from his own nightmare power. But it wasn't. The young woman in front of him resembled that lady years ago, with whom he had grown attached to. Never the Dark Pokemon had had any friends. The entire town had chastised him even when they didn't know him. He remained alone because he was left alone. The young girl. He remembered her. Her name had been Alicia.
The flashbacks stopped when the Dark Legend felt a staggering energy coming from the sky. His blue eye looked into the clear sky like if something was heading his way. Something very dangerous. It came to be, when purple waves erupted through the atmosphere like fireworks. A literal rend in the atmosphere spread over the entire town.
Before Ash and Dawn could gawk at the spectacle, a bigger thing erupted from the crack in reality. The gigantic lord of Space Palkia hit the ground of Alamos Town at escape velocity. The tremors spreaded through the peaceful place, generating powerful earthquakes. Buildings started to crumble down while people run away in terror. Many wild Pokemon also escaped from the epicenter.
Both Ash and Dawn looked in utter mesmerize as did Pikachu and Riolu.
"It's Palkia!" Dawn stated shocked to her core. She knew Ash was telling the truth about meeting a Legendary Pokemon. And that legend had literally fallen from the sky. But something told the coordinator that he was far from a sign of peace. One, because the sky lost its blue color and there were only bright flashes of black lightnings going over the altered reality.
If Palkia's arrival couldn't be enough of a tragedy already, an even bigger thing plummeted from the dark sky. His towering insect-like body coming from the chaotic dimension. He body-slammed into Palkia, earning another yell of pain from the Space Titan.
"And that's Giratina!" Ash said also stun like Dawn. He had met his fair share of legends in his journey. All of them with power that no other Pokemon or human could ever start to comprehend. But the two gargantuan deities had a plateau of energy for themselves. The ground at the couple's feet rambled with the clashing Dragons.
"Stay out of this!" Darkrai ordered to the humans. And both humans understood his words. He shot through the air at fast speed, his hands cupping together and gathering dark purple energy. He rapidly reached his new fighting opponents ready to drive them away from his home.
"Go away!" The Dark Legend of Sinnoh bellowed and fired his devastating Dark Pulse, the massive wave of dark might washing over the two Legendary Pokemon and sending them spiraling away into houses. They all crumbled down on top of them, the debris spreading over the once peaceful town. But that wouldn't stop them for long.
An ear-splitting roar came thundering from the rippled Heavens, the azure body of Dialga descending and landing on Alamos Town. He set his red eyes on the small Darkrai. The shorter legend looked wary towards his new enemy. The Dark Legend again cupped his hands creating a blue energy.
"Go away!" The Emperor of Darkness fired an Ice Beam from his hands. Dialga received it on his chest though and had little damage on him. His howl again erupted with great power, his maw open wide and firing the shower of Draco Meteor over the landscape, creating craters every time one blast touched the soil. Darkrai had only time to widen his blue eye before the powerful move hit him like a rain of meteors. The Dragon move pushed the Dark Legend backwards. That allowed Dialga to rush forward with both of his fangs shinning with electricity. The Thunder Fang bit on Darkrai's body, earning a yell of agony from him. The Time Titan used the small legend as a chew toy, the back of his throat now charging a blue-colored Aura Sphere. The Fighting move hit Darkrai dead on and sent him flying into the ground plowing a mile-long trench by his flight. His body shuddered with paralyzis and white-hot pain after such powerful attacks in a raw. He screeched even more, when Dialga landed on top of him stomping him with one of his thick foot. Dialga rose that same foot and made it shine purple. The Dragon Claw smashed against Darkrai once, twice and thrice, the ground caving beneath the Dark Pokemon, who could barely stand the strikes from a superior Legend of Reality.
"Darkrai!" Ash yelled, not wanting to see the Pokemon suffering. Despite not knowing him, the trainer wasn't one to leave someone in pain "We have to help him, Go Steelix!" Ash called out his Steel/Ground Pokemon out. "Use Flash Cannon!" The Iron Snake opened his wide maw and released the white blast of power.
"Amaura, let's go!" Dawn released her small Fossil Pokemon "Use Ancient Power!" The Fossil Pokemon charged a white sphere in her mouth and fired it at Dialga alongside Steelix's move. But even when the two attacks hit together, the Deity of Time barely turned his head around distracted from his small Legendary victim.
Meanwhile, the bruised Darkrai looked at the two humans. They were risking their lives for him. Why?
The massive-size Dialga shot through the air surrounded in a ruby red aura, his Giga Impact deadly to anything and anyone. And his target were the human couple and their Pokemon, who stood paralyzed and unable to move away.
Faster than the Time Legend, Darkrai tackled both trainer, coordinator and their Pokemon away from the incoming Titan. He, however, took the deadly blast for himself. The impact washed over for miles, Dawn and Ash shaking to their cores by been near the epicenter of the ensuing twelve-grade earthquake. Trees cracked like toothpicks and boulders disintegrated down to liquid paste.
Dialga stood in his dinosaur-like frame catching his breath after using a lot of his power in that last blast. That impeded him from stopping the recovered Palkia from clutching his tail like a pole and whipping him from above his head towards the city buildings. The houses toppled down to ground zero by the giant-sized Titan of Time. The lord of Space opened his mouth and fired a powerful Hydro Pulse, which pushed Dialga even further away.
Dawn recalled her injured Amaura before looking through the wreckage of the once marvelous park of Alamos. Ash did the same with his Steelix.
"Darkrai!" Dawn yelled, running towards the beaten Pokemon, who had saved her. He laid defeated in a massive crater of many feet wide. Ash soon arrived as well next to her looking at the wounded Pokemon. The couple wasn't injured but only by sheer luck of fate. The same couldn't be said about Darkrai, however, as his visible eye was closing his entire ghost body covered in wounds.
"Oracion" Darkrai whispered weakly towards his friends, his body smoking and completely wasted of energy.
"What is that?" Dawn asked in a cracked voice of sadness, not knowing what the Pokemon was trying to say to her. His claw finger pointed at the Three Towers of Alamos. It took the coordinator a couple of seconds before realizing "The music!" According to the people of the Town, the Towers had a unique song that could calm any raging creature, be it human or Pokemon.
Darkrai nodded before his visible icy blue eye closed. His hand slumped and landed limpish on the scorched soil.
"No, Darkrai, please!" The blue-eyed coordinator pleaded shaking the limp body of her savior. Ash's eyes started watering as well his fist clutching hard enough to draw blood. He never liked Pokemon been mistreated. But a Pokemon killed trying to save him wasn't something he would let go. Those bastards had to be stopped. That was something he was going to do for his friend.
"Charizard!" Ash released his Fire/Flying Pokemon, who roared with might. The black-haired trainer pointed the three towers of Alamos. They still stood but who could tell for how long with the rampaging Titans of Sinnoh nearby "Take Dawn to those towers" The Pokemon trainer looked at his girlfriend with a plan in mind "Dawn, make sure you play that music. I'll buy some time before the entire place is torn to pieces, us included" The trainer started running towards the struggling legends but a hand halted him.
"No Ash, wait!" Dawn stopped the teenager in his tracks "I can't let you die too!" The death of Ash would just finish her. The trainer cupped her cute face with his bruised hands, making sure she kept eye contact with him.
"If I save you and my friends then it's worth my life" Ash replied, his voice determined like never before. Dawn nodded holding back the tears. She climbed on top of Charizard and left the scene.
"Swellow, Staraptor!" Ash sent out his two fully-evolved Normal/Flying Pokemon out "Pikachu, Riolu, fly towards those Pokemon and try to bring their attention to me!" The Pokemon looked at each other knowing that the idea could be dangerous. But Ash didn't have times for doubts "Guys, we can't start doubting. We have to save this town or everyone will be in danger" The Pokemon nodded and jumped on their Flying friends' back. The two birds shot through the air towards the Dragon entities.
Dialga charged with his full-powered Iron Head towards Giratina. But the Antimatter Pokemon fired his Inferno attack, swallowing the lord of Time in blue fire. But the Time deity wasn't deterred, walking through the blaze towards his opponent no matter how many burns he was getting. Giratina widen his eyes before the Steel move impacted him right in the chest like a focused asteroid. He was sent spiraling down into the streets, plowing a path of debris in his wake.
Now Dialga opened his maw, charging one last Hyper Beam towards his Antimatter rival. But that was when Thunderbolts and Aura Spheres rained down on him. Both Pikachu and Riolu used as much powers as they could muster, trying to stop the deities of the world. But at the most, the Pokemon were only annoying the Titan of Time.
Ash was standing right in Giratina's bruised multicolored chest, hoping to get his attention to him. The centipede Pokemon shook his head back and found the small human standing on his chest.
"Giratina, you have to stop!" The Pokemon trainer said at the top of his voice. The midnight eyes stared at the small annoyance "You and the others are going to destroy the world!" Ash then felt completely paralyzed. A blue glow covered his entire body, Psychic stopping him from moving.
"Stay out of this, human!" The King of the reverse World bellowed towards the aura user, his voice sending wind gusts that hit the trainer. The Aura user smelt the odor of brimstone coming from the Pokemon's mouth.
"I won't!" Ash replied obviously after understanding what Giratina had just said. That surprised the Pokemon enough time for Ash to gather an small Aura Sphere in his hand and fire it right at one of Giratina's eye. The attack annoyed the Entity long enough "Guys, use Sky Attack!" Swellow and Staraptor dropped down from the sky, Pikachu and Riolu holding to their feathers. The two birds hit Giratina right at the top of his crown-framed head. But the two fully-evolved Pokemon had only managed to annoy the Dragon Legend even more. But that was all Ash needed to get free and move away from the pissed-off creature.
But before Ash could get far away, the towering Palkia descended right in front of him, making the trainer loose his ground by the earthquake the deity caused when he touched the soil. He cupped his hands together and charged his own massive-sized Aura Sphere. He shot it faster than a bullet towards the very small person. Ash couldn't summon his aura. It would be useless against the might of someone of Palkia's caliber.
But before he could react, the small Riolu jumped from Staraptor's back and tackled his human friend away from the danger. He shot his hands forward like trying to catch the incoming orb. The sphere hit the small Emanation Pokemon head on.
"Riolu!" Ash said frantically but the following wind gales forced the teenager to protect his face at the time of impact after the grenade-like explosion. He couldn't lose another friend in just one day.
But as the plumes of smoke slowly settled, Ash could see the small figure standing through the fog. And it grew taller, a white light glistering in his body through the fog. The Pokemon trainer watched in amazement. This certainly wasn't the moment he was expecting.
"Lucario" Ash said in shock. The fully-evolved Aura Pokemon bowed his head towards his trainer. The Pokemon trainer was left speechless. Now Lucario stood proud as tall as Ash. His red eyes were now a blue color that shone with even more Aura than before. His body was now covered in blue and black fur with longer aura detectors behind his pointy ears. There were also sharp claws in his back hands and his chest.
Apparently the Dragons of Reality didn't care about that, however, as Palkia charged a Water pulse, sending the gigantic water sphere towards his enemy. Giratina didn't try to move away from it, his own green ball charging in his maw and releasing his Energy ball. The two attacks clashed mid-air, forcing the trainer and his Pokemon to cover their eyes from the tornadic gales.
Before the Entities could keep fighting, Dialga arrived lashing with his Iron Tail and hitting Palkia right in the head. He was sent spiraling away head over heels. Before Giratina could stop the Time entity, the latter fired the green sphere Dragon Pulse towards Giratina, who screamed in agony and hit the houses behind him faster than a fright train.
But the Space and Antimatter Dragons quickly recovered and charged towards Dialga. The three impacted at the same time and went straight into the sky, a booming echo washing the ravaged town.
The three Dragons floated above the cracked city, the entities not backing down. Palkia's pink gems started shinning while gathering energy for one last blast. Meanwhile, Dialga's body engorged and his diamond shone with blue light preparing his attack as well. Giratina wasn't left behind, his golden crown and rings shinning even brighter than the Sun concentrating one mighty blast.
The three Dragon Entities fired the devastating Power gem attack. The blasts clashed simultaneously. The ensuing shock wave finished crumbling the rest of the standing buildings, the entire town torn apart by the sheer devastation by the forces of the universe trying to crush each other. Havoc run amok through the desolated city.
"Get down!" Ash ordered quickly dropping to the ground his Pokemon following his example. But the explosion hit them no matter how much cover they took.
Dawn and Charizard had just landed at the top of the highest towers, when the shock wave rippled through the building. Dawn luckily had grabbed onto Charizard or otherwise she would have been thrown into the void of nothingness that covered the teleported city.
Once the situation calmed down a bit, the coordinator stared in shock at the meteor-like crater covering the center of the town. She prayed Arceus that her mate was okay.
"Charizard, go and get Ash!" Dawn said frantically to the Pokemon. The Dragon-like Pokemon nodded and flew at high speed to find his trainer. Meanwhile, the bluenette run inside the Towers, looking around. A nice clockwork was in front of her along with gigantic pendulum. The coordinator lady sighed trying to not lose her mind in the dire situation. She decided to go by luck here. Dawn pushed one of the many music records resembling cogs.
The device went into the machine, ready to play. But it didn't.
"Oh come on!" Dawn blurted out. Just her rotten luck.
The massive crater spread for at least ten miles and two miles deep. The Dragon trio stood up panting on the churned soil. The Pokemon Titans could barely stand up after wasting most of their powers. Their towering frames were blacken by the new bruises only an equal power as themselves could produce. Time, Space and Antimatter Gods kept their sight on one another. Their bodies concentrated all of their remaining life force into one last attack. They didn't care who could die. As long as they took their counterparts down.
Ash stood up with his clothes completely dirtied. He felt a trickle of blood coming down his forehead and covering his cheek. His body ached and not in the good way. Spread around him, Swellow, Staraptor and Pikachu were lying in the fallen pieces of concrete. Only Pikachu was trying to stand up. Lucario tried to help his trainer back to his feet even though his own condition wasn't any better. His blue fur had painful-looking cuts.
"Ash, another blast like that and nothing will remain" The Aura Pokemon said grimly towards his injured trainer. That was when a small thud landed in front of them. The powerful Charizard stood there ready.
"No better timing, pal" Ash said with a beaming smile towards his powerful Pokemon. He jumped on Charizard's back taking Pikachu in his hands and recalling his two other Flying Pokemon. The new Lucario also jumped right behind Ash. He would keep an eye out if he needed it. The Fire/Flying Pokemon flew as fast as he could taking the advantage that the Deities were down for the time been.
"Ash!" Dawn almost yelled hugging her boyfriend for dear life. She dreaded not seen him again. Ash hugged her back feeling the very same way "I can't make it play!" The injured teenager pulled the level. But just like before nothing happened.
"The power is out" The trainer from Kanto said not very happy. On his arms, Pikachu stood up even if he shouldn't on his wounded condition. Electricity sparkled in his red cheeks "Pikachu, are you sure?"
"Never been sure before. But why start now?" Pikachu answered, firing his powerful Thunder towards the music machine. Ash couldn't help but smile at his starter's determination.
"Pachirisu, help Pikachu with Discharge!" Dawn released her Pokemon. The Electric Squirrel fired her powerful blue lightnings adding to Pikachu's yellow ones. The fused bolts provided the building with the needed power for the small music device to start.
The entire building started covering itself in a blinding green light. As the peaceful tune played the more the color spread through the buildings. The soothing music quickly reached then angered Legends, just when the three Deities were gathering their last ounces of energy. The music started playing and washed them over with emerald colors. Their blasts disappeared and the three Dragon brothers looked at each other. The Dragon siblings floated up, looking towards the three towers from where the peaceful tone had originated. They could perfectly see two humans and their Pokemon looking at everything unfolding.
"Can someone tell me what just happened?" Palkia asked towards his siblings for an explanation of how they had come to almost tear the world appart.
"I don't know. I just felt angry that you were corrupting my dimension" Giratina said now no longer angry towards his brothers.
"But that makes no sense" Dialga said now "Non of us tried to attack each other"
"Maybe lord Arceus is going to awake. You know his dimension is the only place that can reach everywhere in the universe" Palkia said now.
"That sounds logic" Dialga said, his sight heading for the distant towers "Seems we owe it to those kids for stopping us" The other two Titans followed his sight.
"And to think I almost eat the boy" Giratina stated very casually. The other two looked at him with a sarcastic sight.
"You do realize we can't die of starvation, don't you?" Palkia asked a bit rhetorically to his Antimatter brother.
"I need a hobby, you know. Ruling a dimension isn't funny" The Ghost Dragon replied just like another day. The Time and Space brothers ignored the comment and floated towards the couple of trainers.
Ash and Dawn had barely started to relax when the three Entities headed their way. Lucario and Charizard got ready to attack despite how useless their attacks could be. Ash, however, rose his hand to stop his Pokemon. He knew fighting was useless. So he did the only
"No need for that" Dialga said now. And again, Dawn was left in shock as she could understand the legend. It certainly had to be another case of telepathy "Because we are the ones who bow" And so the three legends of the world bowed their heads in respect and debt towards the trainer and coordinator. The two humans looked at each other in shock. The once enemies were now thanking them. And these weren't just regular enemies. They were the forces of nature that transcended nature.
With nothing but a combined roar from the three entities, Alamos Town was back on Earth. The Sun again shone in the blue sky. There were no battle scars from the recent titanic struggle.
"Thank you. Both of you" Palkia thanked towards the two trainers, who had stopped him.
"If you ever need us just call our names and we will arrive. It's the least we can do after you bravely risked your life to stop us" Dialga stated.
"And again, sorry for almost killing you" Giratina said towards Ash now "It's just been a while since I last tasted human flesh" Both trainers sweat-dropped by that last comment. They preferred to take the apology before becoming Giratina's breakfast just because they had angered him. The entities roared again and teleported the two humans as the Dragons disappeared through worm holes back to their home dimensions.
The couple was back on Alamos gardens. The area had no blemish on the grass or the soil. The fight had never occurred in the first place. The wild Pokemon were again running around happily playing. But the couple wasn't feeling very happy like them.
"We saved the town" Ash said, holding Dawn's hand. The trainer could already hear his girlfriend sobbing "At the cost of a friend" But a cold breeze stopped Dawn from crying. She again tugged Ash' shirt. But this time the aura trainer didn't see fear but hope in her face. He followed her sight into the sky. A humanoid shadow was descending towards them.
"Darkrai!" The two trainers said towards their friend with smiles plastered on their scratched faces. The Dark Legend hovered in front of his human friends. That was when Darkrai hovered closer to Dawn and lifted one of her Pokeballs. He showed it to her. The bluenette didn't need to be told what he meant with that action.
"Darkrai, are you sure?" The bluenette asked almost believing. What Darkrai was asking was simply unthinkable. A legendary Pokemon wanted to be captured.
"I've always been alone in these gardens. And you two helped me without question" The Dark Legend stated now, Dawn understanding thanks to telepathy "Helping you is the least I can do for my first two friends" The coordinator felt a tear going down her face as she hugged the Emperor of Darkness. The Dark Legend didn't know how to react to such action. He weakly placed one of his arms around Dawn, not really knowing how to show affection.
"If that's what you want then I won't stop you" Dawn said pointing with her Pokeball at the Dark Legend. The Pokemon nodded in appreciation towards his new trainer. He was swallowed inside the Pokeball and captured instantly without putting a fight "Welcome to the team, Darkrai" Dawn felt Ash's arms around her keeping her comfortable.
"I love you" Ash stated but now in a serious tone. Dawn could see his amber eyes and knew he was been honest. Her eyes slowly watered. That made Ash feel he had said something wrong.
"I love you too, Ash" Dawn stated her voice sounding with a happiness Ash never heard before. The two trainers got close and shared a heated kiss, which expressed their true feelings for each other.
The couple made out under the returned yellow Sun, basking on the feeling of they bodies pressing together. It would be a long time before they could have such a perfect moment again.
Notes from Chapter 12:
Because I won't go through the other movies that also happen in Sinnoh, like Arceus or Zorua, I joined Giratina into the fray and changed a lot more things.
Arceus was mentioned but if he wakes up he won't go rampaging. Because he has full power already. Really, how can God be killed in his own movie? It's really lame.
I think I left a few facts loosely hanging around. But it was bound to happen with a long chapter.
Now Darkrai joined the team. I thought against that but I choose better.
Dialga, Palkia and Giratina are way stronger than their movies counterparts. They are entities of the universe, for crying out loud. Only Arceus is above them when it comes to power.
During the introduction of the Three Dragons at the start of the chapter, there was a brief reference to the Diamond, Pearl and Platinum Games. Who finds out gets to ask a free question for this story or any other.
Maybe it's rushed but I like it that way.
Technically speaking, now the three Dragon entities will fight with Dawn and Ash if they are ever required. It will be important for later. Specially when meeting Cynthia and Team Galactic in Celestic Town and many other future encounters later on. In this story and the sequel too.
All the Legendary Pokemon can use Telepathy to speak.
The couple has now made very powerful friends. How can things change from here on? See next chapter!
