BGM: Tension (Super Mario Galaxy)

"Crap… I think I know where she's going!" Mavis said. "She's probably heading for the Crimson Mirelands, that's where that large Odd Keystone is at!"

"Then we've no time to lose." Ozpin said.

"Let's go!" Ruby declared.

"I'm afraid it won't be that simple." The Triad spoke.

"You want to battle us, don't you? Yang glared, cracking her knuckles. "I'll be more than happy to clobber you!"

He let out a chuckle. "You think you can stop us. Cute." He smirked behind his mask as several other Plasma grunts approached.

"I'll take 'em on…" Gloria said.

"Gloria, are you sure about that? You're still kinda out of it after that Crobat business." Marnie said.

"I'll be fine. I just need to cut loose."

"...In that case, I'm fightin' with ya." Marnie said.

"Hmhmhm…" The Triad brought out two swords. "This place will be your tomb."

End BGM

He lunged directly at them, only for Blake to counter him and parried him, sending a katana flying and landing near Irida.

BGM: Battle! Team Plasma (Pokemon Masters EX)

"They're only set to distract us so Summer can get to the last one. Mavis! Go after her!" Ozpin said.

"Right!" Mavis nodded as she levitated off the ground, then grabbing a hold of Ruby.

"Are you sure you can handle passengers?"

"I'll be fine." Mavis winked. "Let's go get Summer!"

"Right behind you!" Ruby nodded as they flew off, unaware of N and Akari deciding to follow them.

Cynthia smirked, calling out her Milotic while Steven called out his Aggron. "Ha, you fool!" A Plasma Grunt mocked. "You have a Metagross and an Aggron, yet we only see you Mega Evolve Metagross! You don't-"

"Who says I only have one Mega Stone?" Steven smirked, switching out the Metagrossite for Aggronite and proceeding to Mega Evolve his Aggron.

"AGGROOOOOOOOOON!"

"...Well shit." The Plasma Grunt sweatdropped.

"You just HAD to jinx it!" A female groaned.

A male grunt squared up against Gloria with Marnie right behind her. "Just to warn you, I'm well versed in hand to hand!"

"So am I." Gloria said, squaring up… although she didn't seem completely focused.

"You don't look focused. Ha! That Crobat did a number on your mentality! In fact, I have a Golbat on hand that would love to get to know you!"

"Mmph!"

"Stay focused. He's just getting in your head!" Marnie said.

Gloria growled. "I know…" She lunged at the Plasma Grunt where she delivered a hard straight to his face, but he weaved his head and counter punched her face, delivering a swift knee to her gut.

"Maybe when I'm done with you, I can have the Golbat play with you while I toy with your girlfriend next!"

"Nnngh!" Gloria grunted as she went for a right and left hook combo as she then went for an uppercut, only to get cross countered in her throat.

"Oooh!" Marnie winced as Gloria coughed where he then round house kicked her down.

"Just imagine the fun you'll have with that Golbat… it's teeth sinking into your neck and-"

"SHUT UP!" Gloria shot back up and threw a punch, but he grabbed her wrist and with a smirk, he started to twist it. "Rrrgh!"

Dammit, she usually doesn't let things get to her head like this. Bastard! Marnie thought as she jumped in and slugged him in the gut to make him hunch over as he let go of Gloria.

"Tch, tag teaming… I can take the both of you on!"

Both girls looked at each other, both of them nodding as the two lunged. The Plasma Grunt sweep kicked Gloria, only for Marnie to knee him in the face as Gloria got back up and then kicked him in the face, then Marnie flip kicked him in the chin to knock him back.

"Heh… that all you got!" He smirked, pulling out a syringe and injecting himself with it, where he let out a war cry as his muscles grew and tore through his clothing. "RAAAAH!"

"...Oh, that is just disgustin'." Marnie said.

"Really, lad? Ya had to cheat with steroids?"

"They're not steroids, they're performance enhancing drugs! RAAAAAAH!"

"Enhance what? Enhancin' how much you suck?" Marnie raised an eyebrow.

"He's just enhancin' how small he is in the basement." Gloria said, which was enough for Marnie to desperately try not to laugh herself sick.

"We'll see who's small after I'm done with you!" He declared, all three of them unaware of a time and space rift opening up and enveloping all three of them. To make matters worse, a plane was teleported to said spot.

"Huh?! What?! Where am I?!" The pilot wondered, turning the plane around slowly to get a sense of where he's at.

Gloria delivered a strong punch to his gut, only he smirked and backhanded her down while Marnie aimed her metal arm and fired electric bolts at him. He soaked them in and punched Marnie, but she ducked as Gloria sprang back up and kicked him in the knee.

"Hahahahahahaha!" He laughed, as the plane got dangerously closer. "There's nothing you can do to me! I will kill the both of you!"

"Yeah right, I've faced other strong lads before! Ye ain't so tough!" Gloria smirked as Marnie noticed the plane.

"Huh?" Her eyes widened as Gloria cracked her knuckles, delivering a strong punch to his chest, only to get kicked down, but she sprang back up.

"Maybe I should give that drug to Golbat! Then I'll-"

"GET DOWN!" Marnie tackled Gloria to the ground and pinned her there.

"What are ye-... huh?!"

"Hahaha! Giving up, are we?! That's fine, I'll just pummel the both of you and-" He turned his head, seeing a propeller dangerously close to him. "What the…? AAAAAAAAAAH!" He screamed as he immediately got torn to shreds.

"Ooooooh!" Marnie and Gloria grimaced as blood splattered on them.

"Ooooooooooh!" Team Galactic grimaced as well.

"Ooooh, that's a painful way to go!" A female Grunt shuddered, only to get clobbered by Steven's Aggron. "Gah!"

End BGM

Blake was kicked down against the Triad, but she sprang back up. "I have to admit, you're pretty good at fighting for a ninja Liepard." He said. "However, this is where your life is forfeit."

"I'll take my chances." Blake said as the Triad threw down a flash bang. "Agh!" She yelped as Kali and Ghira turned around, after the latter held a Plasma Grunt by the arms and Kali was using him as a punching bag.

"Blake!" The two called out as the Triad lunged for Blake.

CLANG!

"What…?"

"NiiiiiinJAAAAA!"

BGM: Battle! Colress (Pokemon Masters EX)

Blake shook her head, seeing Greninja in front of her. "Huh…? Greninja?!" She said in surprise.

"Greninja Nin!" Greninja said, quickly sweep kicking the Triad down and proceeding to hit him with Water Shuriken.

"Waaaaah!" A Plasma Grunt yelped as he was German Suplexed by Incineroar.

"Incine!" Incineroar said, jumping up and body slamming into him.

"GYAAAAAH!"

"Incineroar…?" Coco wondered.

"Glaaaaliiiieeee!" A Glalie cried as it was knocked down by an Aura Sphere as Lucario approached next to Willow.

"A Lucario?!" A female Grunt said in surprise.

"Magnezone, Flash Cannon!"

"Magnaaaa!"

The female Grunt was struck by the Flash Cannon. "Gah!" She yelped as she looked to see Colress standing on top of his Magnezone. "Colress!"

"Hey there." He greeted.

"Who the heck is he?" Nora wondered while her Tinkaton buried a Grunt into the ground with her hammer.

"He's on our side!" Lucario said, activating Bone Rush and charging at the Plasma Grunts.

The Triad growled, glaring at Greninja who did a few hand signs and used Double Team to surround him. He turned around and slashed at a Greninja clone, but he disappeared as the real Greninja struck him from above, bouncing off of him and used Hydro Pump to push him down to the ground.

"We gotta retreat!" A Plasma grunt exclaimed.

"Good idea!" Another nodded as the remaining grunts took off running.

"Rrrgh!" The Triad grunted. "This isn't over." He said as he tried to use a flash bang to disappear, only for Cynthia to grab a hold of him.

"You're not going anywhere."

End BGM

"You okay?" Marnie asked Gloria.

"Y-yeah… I am now." She smiled, the two sharing a quick kiss before Marnie helped her up.

"Now… what should we do with you?" Cynthia asked.

"I know what we should do to him…" A voice said as they turned to see Irida approaching him, sword in hand as her eyes were completely blank.

"Irida?!" Adaman said in surprise.

"You Team Plasma fools… you took away my Lord Kleavor… you mechanicalized Lord Avalugg… what you've done IS UNFORGIVABLE!" She screamed as she lunged directly at the Triad, only for Adaman to tackle her to the ground, holding her wrists as Kira immediately took the katana away from her. "ADAMAN, LET ME GO! THIS BASTARD DOESN'T DESERVE TO LIVE!"

"While I would be more than happy to see that guy go out, seeing you do the deed isn't you." He said. "You always said you wanted to preserve life! This isn't you, Irida! What would you do to yourself if you actually took a life? How would you live with yourself?"

"I… I…" Irida tried to fight him off but Adaman still held her there as tears streamed down her cheeks. "I'm a failure…"

"No, no you're not a failure. Not to me or to anyone else. We'll get Kleavor back, and hey, Avalugg is back to his old self." He said, looking over to see Victor actually cleaning him up with the help of several Bergmite and Abomasnow. Even an Alpha Abomasnow was helping patch him up.

"Ava…" Avalugg said calmly.

"Just calm down, okay. Let go of your anger…" Adaman said gently as Irida slowly conceded as more tears streamed down her cheeks. He gently pulled her up as she softly cried into his chest.

"Perhaps Diamond and Pearl… aren't even supposed to be at odds anymore." Gaeric said. "Huh… who would've thunk Plasma would've done something like this."

"I suppose introductions are in order." Colress said.

"You're Colress, correct?" Steven spoke up. "You were a part of Team Plasma once upon a time."

"Yes. For a time, I was. I was a struggling scientist at the time when Ghetsis approached me and funded my work. At that point, I was desperate and I thought Team Plasma was the right call. However, I soon realized that Plasma was not who they thought they were. Yes, we need to take care of Pokemon but liberating them and forcing them away from their trainers? That's not what I signed up for. Admittedly though, I kept working… I was too ashamed to leave Plasma since I had nowhere else to go. I knew I reached the point of no return when I forced Kyurem to freeze the entirety of Opelucid City."

Colress adjusted his glasses. "However, when I thought all hope was lost for me… two trainers reached their hands out to me after Ghetsis was defeated."

"Perhaps you can use your scientific research for good. Ghetsis took advantage of you, but perhaps you could change for the better." Nate's voice echoed in his mind.

"Yeah, you can make a name for yourself!" Rosa's voice said with a smile.

Colress chuckled. "They said this to me right before I got arrested, but I owe them their kindness. Nate and Rosa… I often wonder how those two are holding up."

"Soooo, we can trust you, right?" Yang asked.

"If you want to, by all means. After all, you seem to be trusting Team Galactic after they changed their ways."

"It's true." Jupiter nodded.

"Well, now that we got everything in order…" Raven opened up a portal. "I say we go check on Ruby." She said as they nodded.


Meanwhile…

Summer approached the Odd Keystone rock, where Vessa was waiting for her. "I see you've been collecting them."

"Yes."

Vessa smirked. "Good… now let us reunite once more!" She said as she started to turn into a wisp.

"NO! DON'T!" Ruby yelled as she landed on the ground and used her semblance, quickly getting in the way and landing on the other side. She smirked, turning around to face Summer. "Sorry Spiritomb, I'm not letting you become whole!" She said, opening her palm… to discover that it was empty. "Huh?!"

"Hahahaha! You're much too late, child!" Spiritomb said as Summer held it in her hand with a smirk and then fully absorbed it.

BGM: Danger! There's Trouble! Version 3 (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX)

"No!" Mavis exclaimed as Summer transformed, her skin completely purple, her eyes green as her daggers turned into scimitars with engravings on them. Her clothing changed into gray armor as her hair grew long and her hair flew freely with green highlights.

"You're too late!" Spiritomb said. "She is now my vessel! And there's nothing you can do!"

Ruby clenched her fists. "You're so full of yourself. I'm just about sick of it." She said, pulling out an Ultra Ball and calling out Flutter Mane while she pulled out her scythe, splitting it in two.

"Torch, let's go!" A voice called out as Typhlosion jumped into the scene with Akari approaching.

"Ah, mere reinforcements." He said as he turned to see N approaching. "You there, the Pokemon whisperer! You won't be able to pull me out of her! Your talking will do nothing!"

"I'm well aware of that." N said, calling out Revavroom.

Spirtomb smirked. "So be it. This vessel will destroy you all!"

Ruby steadied herself. "Spiritomb… it's time for your exorcism!"

BGM: Battle! N (Pokemon Masters EX)

108 Problems but Mom Ain't One - Spiritomb-Possessed Summer

Spiritomb lunged for Ruby, slashing her but she blocked with her scythes as she countered her. Spiritomb backflipped and used Dark Pulse on her, but she rolled out of the way as Spiritomb lunged at her, but before the blades could attack, Spiritomb was held back.

"Rrrgh! …What…?" Spiritomb wondered as Torch used Infernal Parade on him, knocking Spiritomb back a few feet while Revavroom used Screech. "Aaaagh!" He cried, covering Summer's ears as Ruby used a Rose Tornado to suck Spiritomb up in the air and then slashed her down.

Spiritomb crashed into the ground but bounced back up and lunged toward Ruby, slashing her but she blocked and countered as Flutter Mane used Mystical Fire on him. Spiritomb swiftly went toward Ruby and slashed her, where he missed by a few inches as Ruby sweep kicked him as Akari jumped in and slugged Spiritomb in the face to knock him away.

"Sorry about hitting your mom." Akari said.

"It's okay. I think she's trying to fight her way out." Ruby said.

"How can you tell?"

"Call it an observation!" Ruby smirked,

"Oooh, if only I had my Maiden powers, I'd be lending a hand!" Mavis complained before looking at Ruby's bandaged arm. Wait a sec!

Revavroom charged at Spiritomb, but he jumped back and used Dark Pulse on Revavroom, only he used Spin Out to avoid the Dark Pulse and then tackled him with an Iron Head, knocking Spiritomb back.

"Ruby! Give me a vine!" Mavis requested as Ruby looked at her weirdly before nodding, aiming her hand at Mavis and firing a vine at her as Mavis took it and yanked it off. "Sorry! Did it hurt?"

"Not a bit!" Ruby winked as she turned around.

"I'm not sure why I stood here but I'm not tolerating it!" Spiritomb said as he used Shadow Ball at Ruby where Flutter Mane responded with a Shadow Ball of her own, then Mavis climbed up on some ruins and then swung the vine around like a lasso and threw it down, wrapping around one of Spiritomb's arms

"Got ya!" Mavis smirked.

"You foolish girl!" Spiritomb tried to cut the rope but found himself struggling to even hit the vine.

"Alright, sweetie! You know what to do!" Ruby called out.

"Torch! Hit him with an Infernal Parade!"

"Miiiiisdreeeeeeeeeea!" Flutter Mane unleashed Phantom Force, going through Spiritomb.

"Tyyyphlooooo!" Torch cried, unleashing Infernal Parade.

"AAAAAAAGH!" Spiritomb cried as the resulting moves forcibly pushed Spiritomb out of Summer's body, the latter turning back to normal as Akari immediately ran forward and threw a Leaden Ball into Spiritomb right as a red portal opened up.

The Leaden Ball struck Spiritomb, where it slammed into the ground… where it bounced up into the air, and shot off a firework. "Good." She nodded, grabbing it and placing it on top of the statue.

End BGM

"Phew…" Ruby sighed with relief as Summer fell to the ground, but Ruby immediately caught her.

"Uuuungh…" Summer groaned, opening her eyes to see Ruby.

"Hey… how do you feel?"

"I've… felt better…" Summer said as she slowly sat up, rubbing her head.

"Oh thank goodness…" Rosalina said with relief. "Summer, are you okay?"

"Aside from a headache, I feel… fine." Summer said as she shook her head. "I didn't… hurt any of you when I was possessed, was I?"

"Nope, not really." Tai said.

Summer sighed with relief. "Oh thank Oum." She said as she hugged Ruby, the latter hugging her.

"Good to have you back, mom." Ruby smiled.

"Glad that's over with." Cynthia said, when suddenly her Pokeball opened up as her Spiritomb came out and hopped over to Summer. "Spiritomb? …What are you doing?"

"Spirit Spiritomb?"

"Hmm?"

"He's asking if you're okay." Lucario said as he approached.

"Oh, yeah… I'm okay. Why do you ask?"

"...Lucario?" Ruby asked in curiosity as she noticed Incineroar and Greninja. "Whoa! Where'd you guys come from?"

"We arrived at the nick of time." Colress said.

"Huh? Colress?!" N said in surprise.

Colress smiled. "Hello N, it's been a while."

"Spiritomb Tomb Spirit…"

"Wait, what?" Gloria spoke up, her eyes widened. "Guys…"

"What's up?" Yang asked.

"The Spiritomb that was giving Summer trouble? That's Cynthia's!"

"WHAT/ROAR/NINJA?!" Everyone else yelled.

"Hmm…" Cynthia rubbed her chin. "Now that you mention it, I do recall finding a Spiritomb that was more… mellow compared to other Spiritomb I've encountered."

"So you were the one who-"

"Spirit…"

Summer said nothing, but instead, she patted him on his wispy head. "Hey, don't feel too bad. I'm still myself after all." She winked. "So… ghostly chin up. I'm okay!" She smiled. "I forgive ya."

Spiritomb smiled after that. "Spiritomb Tomb!"

Summer got up and proceeded to hug her family. "...Wait a second, where's Oran?"

"Plasma took him while we were fighting Avalugg." Raven said. "Maia and I will go get him. You head back to the village, we'll meet you guys there."

"But-"

"Summer, you've been through a lot. I'd say you rest up and the two of us will handle it."

"...Oh, alright." Summer nodded as they headed back to the village while Raven opened up a portal, looking at Maia.

"Ready?"

"Let's go get him." Maia nodded as the two walked in.

However…

BGM: Jubilife Village (Pokemon Legends Arceus)

"What in the…?!" Akari said in surprise as they would see everyone rebuilding the town.

"What happened here?" Summer wondered.

"Beats me." Qrow said as they walked through the town.

"Ah, there you guys are." Kamado said. "You missed a fine mess!"

"How… messy was it?" Mars asked.

"Oh, I'm glad you asked! Show them!"

"Smeargle Smear." A Smeargle said, showing off the painting it recreated, showing off a pink rectangular monster with wheels, a green mouse on the hood, a black hedgehog on the back end of the trailer and Umber on the front end.

"This thing ruined my bath time!" Kamado said as Kira approached the painting, taking a look at Umber.

"...Huh…" She narrowed her eyes before smiling. "He looks kinda cute!"

"Looks can be deceiving. If a Jigglypuff can be threatening, then I'm sure that weird Pokemon on top of that monster can hurt you too!"

"Nah, I know a friendly cutie when I see one~"


Meanwhile, with JINXY and Co…

"...I don't know why but I feel like I need to slap a bitch for flirting with my man!" Yagami said.

"You too?" Xena asked.

"What are you guys blabberin' about?" Chiaki asked.


Back with them…

"Huh…" Ruby took a closer look. …Umber…? She wondered, not knowing who the pink monster or the green mouse was. This black hedgehog… could it be Shadow?

"Hmm? You have a sense of familiarity in your eyes." Kamado noted. "Do you know them?" He asked suspiciously.

"Uh… no! No, they do not at all look familiar to me!"

"Really, because your eyes speak differently. It's as if you had a sense of nostalgia toward them. Are you affiliated with this monster?"

"What? No! I don't even know-"

"Look, Kamado. You're actin' weird. No need to act confrontational." Qrow said.

"Hmph! All of you are suspicious." He said. "I know very well that you quelled the Noble Pokemon, but that does not mean-"

End BGM

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Kamado froze as they looked up to see the sky starting to distort as it turned red. As a matter of fact, the rift above Mt. Coronet got bigger.

"What in blazes?!" Zhang wondered.

"...Ghetsis, what are you doing?" N let out a growl.

Kamado clenched his fists. "I can be a reasonable man… however…" He turned to them. "You came at the exact same time as Team Plasma and that rift! You had fallen from the sky…"

"What? No, we didn't fall from the sky, we're from-"

"SILENCE!" Kamado silenced Nora.

"Tinka…" Magnhild glared at him.

"I knew from the very beginning that you are not from the Johto region, including these three right here! I was just playing along, giving you all the benefit of the doubt in hoping that you were not malicious as I had hoped."

He what?! Weiss thought.

"Kamado!" Cyllene spoke. "I think you need to chill."

BGM: Exiled (Pokemon Legends Arceus)

"Think about it, Cyllene! All of this happens the moment Plasma and these folk show up! Not only that, but their Cresselia is missing! And Adaman and Irida are nowhere to be seen, so they probably did something to the two! And then I hear that Kleavor has been turned into some cyborg and I've received a report that Avalugg has been turned into a machine as well! In fact, they might as well be working with Plasma! Darkrai is loose and they're all going to put us into an endless sleep!"

"What the fu-... you're jumping off a cliff into a massive sea of conclusions there, buddy boy!" Coco said.

"Am I now! You all came from the future, I saw it the moment I saw your clothing!"

"Kamado, my boy. Aren't you just being paranoid a little too much?" Laventon asked.

"Yeah, where the hell is all this coming from?" Yang asked.

Kamado growled. "You have put our lives in very grave danger. As of right now, all of you are expelled from the village, including those who knew they were from the future and kept it a secret from ME! That goes for the Diamond and Pearl clans as well!"

Cyllene pinched the bridge of her nose. "Kamado. At least consider the words you are speaki-"

"Cyllene! Escort these folk from the premises immediately! They are no longer welcome here in this village. They are no longer part of the Galaxy Team. And anyone who is affiliated with them must leave at once!"

"Are you freakin' serious?!" Akari said. "Where the hell is-"

"Enough!"

"...Kamado, I'm giving you one last chance to-"

"No. My decision is final."

"Fine then…" Cyllene put her Galaxy Team badge in his hand.

Kamado's eyes widened. "Cyllene, you-"

"Hope you can live with yourself, you big oaf." She said as she walked off as did everyone else. Even Laventon, Akari and Kira walked away from him.

"Cyllene…" Kamado whispered before he looked away in shame. "What have I done…"

End BGM

"He knew from the very beginning… and he was just playing along…" Weiss muttered as they were at the Crimson Mirelands.

"Okay, I'm just gonna say it… I feel like that came out of nowhere." Byleth said.

"Ugh, tell me about it!" Dorothea agreed as a portal opened up as Raven and Maia walked out, but no Oran.

"Where's the squirt?" Qrow asked.

"We were too late. Ghetsis had a hold of him and brainwashed him in a machine. We were forced to flee before he could do any lasting damage that'll haunt him later." Maia said.

"Yeah… now I want to cut Ghetsis's head off." Raven said. "...Wait, why aren't we in the village?"

"Kamado kicked us out because he got too paranoid." Weiss said.

"...What? I… huh?" Raven tilted her head. "That's… what the fuck is he smoking?"

"That's what I want to know. Join the club!" Qrow said.

"Unbelievable…" Gloria grumbled.

"We're just gonna have to hope for the best at this point. I trust you guys have a plan?" Cyllene asked.

"Yeah… find Ghetsis, clobber the heck out of him and get Oran back." Ruby said.

"I like that plan." Summer smirked as did everyone else.

"...But first… Rosie, we're gonna need an outfit change!"

"Gladly." Rosalina snapped her fingers as everyone's original clothing appeared on their persona.

"Whoa…" Kira said.

"They do suit you better, admittedly." Cyllene said.

"Dang, blue patchy pants and a black shirt? Looks good on you!" Kira complimented to Rosalina.

"Aww, thank you…" Rosalina smiled sweetly. "And they're called jeans."

"Jeans? …Huh, weird name for it but okay."

"Now let's-... nnngh…" Ruby clutched her head, falling on one knee.

"Ruby?" Byleth immediately was by her side as was Yang, Gloria, Dorothea, Summer, Tai and Rosalina. "Sis, are you okay?"

"Y-yeah… just a bit dizzy for some reason…" She chuckled, her face looking a bit paler than usual.

"You sure about that?" Dorothea asked as Summer immediately checked her forehead.

"You're not running a fever…"

"I'm fine, just a bit dizzy…" Ruby chuckled as Mavis decided to use her semblance on Ruby out of curiosity.

"...What the…?" Mavis whispered as Ruby stood up.

"Let's go." Ruby said as they walked off.

"Is everything okay?" Ozpin asked.

"I'm not sure… for some reason, it felt like Ruby's life force was drained immensely. It… it honestly felt like she has not much long to live…"

Ozpin narrowed his eyes. "That's very concerning…"


Meanwhile, with Adaman and Irida…

"Alright… today, we've gathered you all for an announcement!" Adaman said as the clans of Diamond and Pearl were all gathered.

"Why are we all here together?" A Pearl clan asked.

"Because… you all know about Team Plasma, correct?" Irida asked. "They stole Lord Kleavor and Lilligant from us and mechanicalized Lord Avalugg!"

"What?!" The clans exclaimed.

"For a time, we were enemies… but now we must unite as one to destroy a common enemy. Set our differences aside! We are the same, just in different clans! Plasma wants to destroy it all… but with us together, we can put an end to Plasma, and their leader!" Adaman declared. "For together… we are one!"

There was silence…

"Yeah, down with Plasma!" A Diamond clan member said.

"I raised my Psyduck! I'm not letting them take 'em away!"

"Arezu has been kidnapped, we have to get her back!"

BGM: Determination (Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity)

"Yeah, that's right! We were at odds, but now we must unite!" Adaman said.

"All hail our great leader, Irida!" A Pearl clan member called out as her eyes widened, letting out a gasp as all the Pearl members cheered for her.

"They struck her down for too long, we won't let that happen for another moment!"

"Go Team Diamond! We rule!" Another exclaimed as they cheered as well.

"See? I told you you're a great leader. You're no failure." Adaman smiled as Irida wiped her tears.

"I needed to hear that."

"Now then!" Gaeric spoke up. "We must unite as one! Who's with me!" He said as they all cheered.

"We are no longer Diamond and Pearl!" Adaman said. "We are…"

Irida smiled. "Team Platinum!" She said as everyone cheered as Adaman looked at her in surprise before smiling, taking her hand as they both raised their clasped hands into the sky.

"Now let's destroy Plasma for the good of Hisui!"

End BGM


Meanwhile, with Arezu…

"Come on… there's got to be a way out of here…" Arezu grumbled, pacing around her cell to figure out where to go.

"Klef?"

"Hmm?" Arezu turned her head to see a Klefki at the cell, along with a Rotom. "A Rotom and a strange Pokemon?"

Klefki used one of its keys in the cell door, unlocking it for her.

"Oh!" Arezu walked out with a smile. "Now this is what I'm talking about!"

"Roto Roto!"

"Yeah." Arezu smirked. "Let's get the hell out of here… but first, I want to know the layout of this place before we go."


Team Platinum!

Ibuki: He's in for it now!

Edit: Fixed the scene where everyone left. I thought I replaced that part, but I guess it didn't go through. Whoops.
