Chapter 28 – Amazing Change of Events

Liza with Charla walked on after leaving Vincent and Meganium to fight that powerful BlackCharizard, she felt wrong about leaving the kid and his pokémon against that thing but her thoughts changed when Charla and her stopped right in front of two glowing white armour floating right there before them, Charla touched it a barrier of light appearing blocking her from going any feather.

"Just as Domino told us Charla, a barrier of some sort" Liza looked up and down of it then look to the left of the T-point cross where it was in the wall, she look to the right then left "if I am right the left path lead to the central chamber" Liza saw some burns on the wall near the barrier. "Charla is that Typhlosion flamethrower that left the mark?"

Charla sniffed it then gave a nod "Then Jimmy went by here that means" both of them turn around hearing a blast they soon see smoke followed up by Marina with her pokémon Little Miss and Wani Wani running from a anger BlackBlastoise going berserk blasting attack after attack at them. "Charla go help Marina, I will try and get through this" Charla nod flying to Marina and her pokémon flying right past them and doing a Skull Bash attack right in the chest of BlackBlastoise sending him flying backwards into a wall hard then landing on his front gritting his teeth and moaning in pain as he slowly got up.

"Thank you Charla!" Marina yelled out with happiness "Right Wani Wani and Little Miss now we got fire support lets take him on!" Both pokémon stood beside Charla and floated to get ready to take on BlackBlastoise. He got up then let out a shadow ball attack the blast knocking Little Miss flying into Marina's arms "Oh no Little Miss" She held the pokémon tight to her chest seeing the grin of the pokémon.

Liza pull out the Soul Dew and then touch the barrier her hand past through it "So that how to get in" she put the Soul Dew on the barrier it glowed brightly then it died out the barrier was gone, Liza held the Soul Dew up "thank you Latios, you have no idea how much help you are being beyond Alto Mare." Liza smiled putting the glass watery orb with the Soul Dew in it away walking into the armour looking at the armour in arms reach.

Vincent was surprised how long Meganium managed to hold down the BlackCharizard but she wasn't going to give up and then she felt it a new form of energy new attack came to her and this will give BlackCharizard the power she needed. Jessie felt it then said to Brock and James in the barrier spirit field "BlackCharizard learnt Overheat, I can feel her pride in doing so"

"Uh oh" both Brock and James just said

Meganium felt her vines burning then saw red heat coming from BlackCharizard it rising up 'I can't hold her she doing overheat, oh no, Vincent!' Meganium let go of BlackCharizard not able to hold her now quickly putting her head down running to Vincent she knocked him over her head on this her back as she ran hard as she can.

"Meganium what the matter!? Slow down!" Vincent then turn his head to a red glow from the standing black pokémon "Overheat! Don't slow down! RUN!!!" Meganium heard her trainer and pushing herself to go faster.

BlackCharizard launched her overheat attack it going faster then them coming right at them from behind. "Ahh!" Vincent screamed seeing doom before his eyes that when Meganium snapped she suddenly got incredible speeds and ran faster then she had before going to the end of the corridor turning around it then the attack hit the wall burning right through it the size causing a huge blast. But it carried on through the wall knocking them both to the ground they seeing the heated blast going through the wall with gasping looks of fear, Liza saw this as well with stunning amazed of the size and power of that Overheat attack.

"I never seen such power like that before" Liza only could say unaware she and Vincent to not know this the Overheat attack was carrying on.

Zarkaruio floated by the tower wall waiting for time to pass then he saw something in the corner of his left eye turning around he saw a part of the wall glowing red then all the sudden a burst of red hot flames burst out he using his teleport power to dodge it appearing near it he was shocked at first but now wondering where is came from. Before he could the flaming blast carried out flowing and smashed into the maze wall it was melting a massive hole in it.

"No this can't be possible" before he could finish Zarkaruio saw it go through and just on that other side at the same time Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny in their group was all running from one of the Zarkaruio doubles launching one attack after attack they tried to fight it but it was too powerful. Then out of nowhere they all stopped to see a massive blast of flames burst through hitting the double engulfing it with massive intensive heat then the flames died down the double looked really buried out then it faded into nothingness.

"Wow that must be really lucky for that to happen" Nurse Joy said seeing that the attack destroyed the Zarkaruio double. Lugia took a chance flying up he saw the hole the size of it the metal burning still then he saw Zarkaruio looking into the hole of the tower.

Zarkaruio saw BlackCharizard looking very sheepish back at her master "You stupid idiot! You almost blasted me! And look what you did!" He roared out at BlackCharizard pointing at the hole in the maze then he look to see Lugia

"I think she helped more then one" Lugia said psychical to Zarkaruio

Zarkaruio the blow it "Don't do that again! BlackCharizard you blasted one of my Shadow doubles to atoms! You horned dragon!" Zarkaruio carried on letting out his words of anger to her. "Now go and take care of those humans and pokémon in the tower at once!" with that the hole repaired itself with a glow then he turn around at the first group to get to the main closed off area in front of the tower.

Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny, Lugia, Golem and Pikachu now stood before him by the metal wall near the openings leading to an exit out of the maze. "Look like we the first" Joy said sitting down with a sigh of relief "that was good for us"

"Yes my powers could of destroyed it but I couldn't at risk of hurting you" Lugia said to them standing on his large three toed feet wings press against his sides.

"Now we wait for the others to turn up" Officer Jenny stood a bit away staring at the arena that was between them and Zarkaruio. "I gather you put this battle arena here?"

"Yes" Zarkaruio muttered in his telepathic voice then stood on his feet with closed eyes head down a bit his arms crossed they not sure what he was doing Pikachu and Golem with wondering eyes and unsure looks on their faces.

Jimmy with his pokémon Beedrill and Typhlosion arrived in the central chamber to see computers and boxes everywhere and one stone like cage with a human and pokémon in it a Meowth. "Typhlosion, Beedrill over here I see someone and a pokémon" he ran up to it the two pokémon following. They stop right in front of it Jimmy trying to pull the stone bar "this is some tough stone" he gritted his teeth.

"Of course it is" Meowth spoke out opening his eyes. "Darua created them"

"Darua?" Jimmy knelt down staring at Meowth "I thought we was dealing with Zarkaruio"

"No Meowth is right, Daura is Zarkaruio" Lurna said seeing Jimmy and his pokémon "How about you get your Typhlosion to do a attack and blast these stone bars away?" Lurna said getting right to the point straight away.

Jimmy stood up "Of course" Jimmy the point to it "Typhlosion firewheel!" Typhlosion jump back then charged at the wall a ball of fire around him hitting the stone bars it smashes to pieces the smoke cleared. "Right come on guys let go" he about to run out of the chamber.

"Not so fast, we need to take that container with the pokéballs in it and go down there to set free those peoples souls back into those pokémon bodies and get rid of those evil beings that control the bodies even it means they take control of the black pokémon forms it better then those pokémon that was created by Zarkaruio" Lurna said as she walked to the open wall turning around and carried on explaining to Jimmy.

"Alright that sound like a plan lead the way" Jimmy took the case handing it to Beedrill "You stay here with these Beedrill, keep the pokémon safe" Beedrill nod flying with the case held by it needle arms to a create placing them down then seeing it trainer with Meowth and Typhlosion head down the stairs. Lurna went to the case quickly opening it up.

"There my pokéballs, I hope my pokémon are ok" She put them on her belt then look at Beedrill "Keep a eye on those pokéballs" Lurna closed the lid then run down the stairs following the others leaving Beedrill alone with the pokéballs.

Liza looked to Vincent then Marina "Everyone back up to where I am get in here, it might get cramped but I think I can close this barrier up" Liza yelled they all turn and ran quickly to her from both directions they got behind her including Charla and both black pokémon now stood before them again with a grin and power up attack to finish them. Liza pulled out the Soul Dew then put it where the barrier should be then it reformed as the attacks hit none of them breaking through.

"That was close" Vincent whizzed sitting down seeing the pokémon doing attack after attack at the barrier not able to break through it.

"But we trapped" Marina said with fear holding her Little Miss close to her.

Liza whispers to Charla "It up to Jimmy now" Charla nod slowly, the two black pokémon now annoyed keeping up their attacks going smashing into it till they stopped sitting down against the walls they gave up trying to break through it they just waiting now.

On Pokélonum Latias arrived at the island town she was keeping out of sight flying around seeing lots and lots of pokémon she'd never seen so many before and they was going on with business like she seen humans on Earth. Latias bumped into a Nidoqueen holding a basket with a hat on her head with a flower on the top of it.

"Err" Latias was sure that now things wasn't going to be alright now. "What with the worried look dear? It a beautiful sunny day" Latias took notice and saw it was a sunny day but could tell there were three moons also in the sky. "I guess your new around here, if I am not mistaken your one of those Eon Pokémon"

"Yes erm miss, I am Latias" Latias said to her floating off the ground up to eye level with the Ninoqueen.

"That your species name" the Ninoqueen laughed then thought about it "So your name is also of your kind?" Latias nod "Oh that sweet." Ninoqueen saw her struggling a little "Here eat this it will get your strength back up in no time" Latias was about to refuse when the Ninoqueen took out a berry of some sort handing it over to her paw.

Latias looked at it, she never seen a red berry like this before not on Earth then she kindly ate it in respect and sudden found a real power boost "I feel great thank you miss" Latias smiled happily. "Erm would you be able to help me find someone?"

"Of course and my name is Linoqueen. I run a berry store not to far from here" Linoqueen walked by and Latias choice to follow "Linoqueen before you ask is a name that my father gave me when I was a little Ninoran, not ordinal but that what your given at birth" she said with a warm look to her face. "Now who is it your looking for?"

"I am looking for a Latios call Latidive, I got a feeling he live here on this island and not trying to be rude Linoqueen I need to find him fast it really important" Latias said as they can to a shut shop. Linoqueen pulled out a card slicing it through a slot then putting her claw hand on it the door opened up.

Linoqueen turned around to Latias "Yes I know him, his the quiet one that lives at the top of that tower over there, he hardly come down from there. Latidive only come down to get some food and drink then go back up." Linoqueen pointed to the tower then explained to Latias something about him.

"Why?" Latias asked looking right up at the top of the tower. "Did something happen?"

Linoqueen nod slowly with eyes closed then opened them "Yes my dear, he lost his eldest sister to a virus that struck a few years ago, a Charizard called Flare went out to space to get a cure but brought it back too late for some and one being Latidive's own sister." Linoqueen turn her head to the tower "He been heart broken and depressed since then and not even his own parents could break him out of it. But maybe you can"

"I will give it a try" Latias said turning back around to Linoqueen "I have to both worlds depend on it and everyone back at home is counting on me, thank you Linoqueen" Latias about to fly off but stops

"Latias, can I ask you something, where are you from?" Linoqueen asked, Latias looked up at the sky then said "Earth" she flew off to the tower fast as she can. Linoqueen stared at the sky seeing the beam "I thought she wasn't from around here, but up there?" Linoqueen lower her head holding the basket with both claw hands with a smile "Good luck Latias, I will be supporting you in your quest and we will meet again I can tell child" Linoqueen turned and enter her store closing the door behind her.

Latias got to the top of the tower or near it finding a staircase near by and a large door with it crack open a little she moved close to it and gave it a soft push the door creaking open. "Hello?" Latias flew in slowly turning her gold eyes to one direction to another seeing that the place was full of plants and then saw before her a statue with flower bed in front with writing on a stone pad. Latias looked at the words written on it. "To my beloved sister may your ashes keep these plants alive and your life to remain with what you loved the most. You will be missed Latisee." Latias read out. "I know how you feel Latidive"

"No you don't" Latias turned to a some spiral stairs leading to the next level and floating was a Latios he looking not too pleased. "If you're by my parents request don't bother trying to please me, I don't want the peaty" Latidive said coldly then leaves her view.

Latias flew up to the next level then called out "Latidive I am not what you think, I am not of this world!" Latidive came to a stop turning his head around.

"What else are they going to pull next, the world is in danger" Latidive didn't look convinced and enter a room pushing the door open

Latias was getting annoyed this was the first time she felt this anger and flew after him entering that same room seeing it fool of plants again and then spot Latidive on a round bed with blue sheets over it. "Please listen we got not much time I need your help"

"Whatever it is, you can do yourself. I am not concerned" Latidive muttered

Latias now was boiling with anger she flew right up to him and right in his face she yelled out "Listen to me now! I didn't travel from Earth to your world to be treated like this!!! I came here in hope to find you and help me stop my and your world from falling into darkness! I lost my brother to some bad humans messing around with things they didn't understand! Latios my brother might be gone but his soul still live in Alto Mare and be part of me always!" Latias was shouting hard at him Latidive never seen a temper like this and the way Latias was speaking she was very annoyed. "I came here at a large risk! My friends are counting on me to bring you back with me to stop Zarkaruio from conquering Earth and Pokélonum!!!" Latidive put a claw paw over her mouth she looking at it then into his eyes.

"I… I am sorry" Latidive then moved it away turning his head away with tears "I can't help you. Please leave"

Latias had tears falling now "Your sister wouldn't want you to see you like this, I know my brother wouldn't. How sad for you" Latias then flew away out of the room.

Latidive open his eyes then look at a flower that haven't opened since Latisee passed on, he flew up to it and touched the flower with a claw paw "Latisee please tell me is this right what she said?" the flower then start to open, Latidive's face turning to shock then a soft smile. "I see my sister. Thank you for being there. I will keep you in my heart." Latidive then fly out of the room after Latias and once he was gone a ghostly image of his sister appeared a Latias Latisee "Find your heart my brother and farewell" the ghostly form disappears with her smiling happily.

Latias got out of the main doors floating outside it "I can't believe I came all this way for nothing, they going to feel disappointed with Latidive not able to come. I gave it my all my friends" Latias said staring at the sky.

"Maybe you should correct yourself" Latias turned completely around seeing Latidive but he was now wearing some sort of cape Latias holding her mouth trying not to laugh. "What?" Latidive almost turning red

Latias then burst out laughing "Sorry… hahaha… I never… hahaha… seen anything… hahaha… that funny before" Latias said trying to calm herself down.

Latidive frowns then smiled "At least it wasn't a strange look and saying I was weird like my sister said more then once"

Latias then spoke "I say you look cute and funny with it on" Latidive blushed.

"Thanks" Latidive then shook his head a few times then spoke "How about showing the way back to this Earth?"

"Great!" Latias said then fly a bit away pointing to the beam with her claw paw "To that beam, that will teleport us back if what Mewtwo said was right about that tower"

Latidive flew in front of her "You got to be kidding, that the forbidden island no one aloud near it" Latidive blocked her path.

Latias flew around him then said "That where I came from and how I got to your world. The tower was hidden in the island. We got to hurry. Please trust me"

Latidive smiled again "I do" Latias smiled happily. "Alright lets go…" Latidive paused then said "Erm I didn't ask what your name was"

Latias almost fell from the sky then said "It Latias, now lets go before we too late" Latias speeds off to the island and super speeds.

"Wow she fast" Latidive then grinned "But not faster then me" he closed the claw paws in his sides then flies after her at faster speeds both heading to the Tower.

Back on Earth Zarkaruio stood still with closed eyes in the position that Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny and the pokémon in their group saw him in and now almost everyone had returned part from Misty and Ash group they was in the maze, everyone was tending to injuries of those that was hurt while they waited taking advantage of Zarkaruio's silence.

Zarkaruio opened his eyes turning is head right to two entrances "So they all arrived" Everyone heard him turning to those same two seeing Misty and Giovanni with the pokémon Azurill, Articuno and Eevee. "And now comes the real threat" they looked really lost what he was saying then Max point to the other

"Look guys, there the others but there a extra Charizard with them and" Max looked amazed and dumbfounded "It wearing Ash hat."

Misty stopped turning right around coming face up to a Charizard chest then looking up at the pokémon seeing the hat and the brown eyes "Ash?" Charizard gave a wink and a raised arm with a thumb up. "Ash how is this possible?"

"Not sure how to explain it Misty but take care of this for me, I got something to settle with Zarkaruio or whoever he really is" Ash took the hat off and put it in her hands walking by her to the arena standing before Zarkaruio.

"Ash are you nuts!?" Misty yelled out then felt Charizard's claw hand on her shoulder she lifting her head right up her eyes now on Charizard above her. "Charizard?" Charizard gave a soft now then spoke out something she couldn't understand but understood in the way he said in Charizard. "Alright if Ash going to do this I am going to give him all the support I can give." Charizard smiled and Misty stood forward "Kick him silly Ash and if you don't you got me to deal with"

Ash felt scared of that but only Zarkaruio saw that reaction but kept calm. "The energy within the boy is in fact the power of the Eon Charizard. Ash you surprised me at the least but let our battle begin at 30 minutes to go before 1am. How does that sound?" Zarkaruio spoke out to him.

"Yes that fine by me, but do you lie?" Ash asked him

Zarkaruio gritted his teeth while he spoke telepathically "I never lie, it one thing that a pokémon is cursed by. Unable to lie part from that Meowth somehow he broke through that curse"

Flare gave a soft nod "Yes that is true, I learned human speech but it still impossible for me to lie, I might be able to keep secrets and tell you I can't tell you for reasons that could be dangerous but that as close of a lie you can get" Flare looked over at Mewtwo hearing him speak up

"Eon Charizard. I heard of this kind" Mewtwo spoke out

Professor Oak then asked. "What different to a Charizard? Mewtwo?"

Mewtwo smiled "Eon Charizard is psychic as well as a fire and flying type, that why we can heal Ash speak and the other thing is Eon Charizards don't have a previous evaluation they have only one form but in the writings to say that be born from curse of a full moon day or night." Mewtwo answered

"Ash is cursed to be a Eon Charizard every full moon? A werewolf thing?" Tracy said with wonder.

"Not even close, a Eon Charizard is a complete form. A werewolf thing is half human and half something else and out of control, Ash is changed completely into a pokémon and this Eon Charizard if it right, he calmer, sharp minded and more protective of life itself then his own" Mewtwo explained.

"Wow that why he acting like that" May looked amazed then they all refocused back on the two pokémon.

"Then I ask you this, who are you? And why are you doing this?" Ash requested and Zarkaruio knew he had to give up his real name sooner or later and time for his real reasons to be knew.

"I am Daura the last of my kind. I am the Black Aura Dragon. I took control of this Ancient after they wiped out all Black Aura pokémon leaving me the last I failed to protect them so I took control of Zarkaruio to seek safety by taking them down and whoever stood to destroy me." Daura said with some pain in the telepathic voice as he spoke then went on to say. "All because they believed Black Aura pokémon was evil lying pokémon that will take a chance to take over the world when it is at the weakest. We wasn't even like that, we was peaceful and caring! We loved our home and took care of it and other pokémon that wasn't Black Aura types but no the Ancients thought we was evil that was that we was to be wiped out. They caused the Ancient War" Daura said angrily "If they wasn't blinded by their mighty power none of this would of happened!"

Ash found it interesting to hear then said "Is there a way to return me, Brock, Jessie and James back to normal? Since I gather they under the same curse as me" Ash said out to Daura

"Yes" he raised a hand paw four necklace like objects with charm like objects on them. "These will protect you on the full moon from changing, but I will only give them if you beat me" Daura using his powers place them on the steps of the tower.

"So that what you mean by 'I hope we do' when you blasted me with that powerful psychic attack all those years ago" Mewtwo said Ash even looking around at Mewtwo Daura looking right at him as well. "You felt the pain of destroying life you even feel the pain of what you did to Maxwell"

"Yes your right Mewo but I had to, my survival was at risk, I don't like what I did but when it comes to no other choice I had to" Daura said out to Mewtwo. "I am sorry for what I did to you"

Mewtwo put a paw up "Don't worry about it, now I believe you two got a battle"

Nurse Joy stood up after treating some of Rayquaza's injuries. "It 30 minutes in 12 seconds"

Both stood ready to fight "Let the best win" Ash said getting ready he felt like he could do amazing moves the change gave him a new fresh mind a mind that was with his making he know skills that would take months or even years to get into that style.

"That is going to be a tough one" Daura stood ready to battle then the time reached zero the battle begun.

They let out each a attack a flamethrower and shadow bolt the impact exploding in the middle they taking to the air and started the battle throwing attacks at one and another either being blocked or missed, everyone watching the intensively of the battle already that was started each trying to strike blows. At the beginning they look evenly matched but only time will tell who will be the winner of this battle the showdown of the Ancient and Eon Charizard.
