Chapter 5: Palkia VS Dialga! Another Dimension!
Flashback
Young Tonio was running around the garden to search for Alice when a familiar voice caught his attention.
"Tonio! Yoo-hoo! I'm up here! Come on up and play with me!" Young Alice said happily. The young boy looked to see his childhood friend up on a high cliff as she began to run ahead playfully! The young boy widened his eyes as he tried to warn Alice to stop.
"Ah! It's dangerous up there! Look where you're going!" Tonio cried out. But to his dismay and shock, Alice didn't listen as she kept running on, only for her to run into a cliff that was starting to break apart!
"Don't worry! I'm fine- Ah! AHHHHHH!" Alice started before she screamed.
She began to fall off from a high height, as Tonio tried to make a run for her, attempting to save her despite on how far he was from her.
"ALICE!" Tonio yelled as he tried to run faster. But as Alice continued to fall down fast, something caught her and saved her from her fatal injury.
The young boy widened his eyes as he kept running to see to who saved his friend. But by the time he got there, he only noticed a shadow rushing out of sight, as if it was trying to get away from something.
Tonio ran over to Alice to check her condition before he sighed. She was alright. No bruises or scratches were on her. Then, remembering the figure that saved Alice from her fall, the young boy looked up to see a large and dark figure up ahead.
But it was only for a second that the figure had disappeared back to the ground again, becoming a shadow.
The young boy could only try to think of who might've saved his young friend. But at remembering Alice who was still unconscious, the young boy desperately tried to shake her awake, pulling her away from the dream that she could be having.
"Alice, are you okay? Say something! Alice!" Tonio cried out. At the call, the young girl blinked open her eyes before she turned to see who was beside her. At the sight of her childhood friend, Alice smiled, believing that Tonio was the one who saved her life.
"Oh... Tonio? Oh, you saved my life, Tonio..." Alice said silently, before giving a smile. Tonio blinked, remembering the true savior of his childhood friend. But before he could try to correct her, the young girl hugged Tonio, catching the young boy off guard!
"Oh, Tonio! I love you!" Alice said happily as she kept her childhood friend close to her, while the young boy could only stutter and let the young girl hug him.
"But the truth is... I didn't save Alice that day..." Tonio explained, remembering what happened to her when she fell.
Flashback End
The scientist bit his lips before revealing the true name of the one who saved Alice on that day.
"Now I'm sure of it... It was Darkrai who saved you that day!" Tonio said out loud, catching Alice by surprise. She frowned, now understanding the truth from what the young scientist had told her now.
"Oh, Tonio..." Alice said softly. Hikaru on the other hand, remained silent, realizing that this meant Darkrai was never to be blamed, but someone else. Folding his arms, he remembered the memory he was given involving Alice's grandmother, along with the nightmare that showed the warning of Palkia coming to life.
"Godey's diary also says that it was your grandmother, Alicia, who opened up Darkrai's heart! I don't believe Darkrai is evil, either." Tonio said before he turned to the group. The Twinleaf girl frowned, before raising a question.
"Then, why is Darkrai fighting everyone?" Dawn asked, before Ash raised another question.
"If it's not Darkrai, like we're all trying to believe, then what is this that's keeping everyone from leaving town?" Ash asked curiously. Hikaru looked at his two friends, who were wanting answers, despite of the numerous dead ends they have so far at this point.
"I don't have all the answers yet. For now, we just hang on." Tonio said, causing the four trainers to look at each other. Even Pikachu, Monferno, and Piplup were unsure on what to do as the Twinleaf boy sighed. Opening his eyes, he showed annoyance as he knew what Baron Alberto was about to do if Darkrai was found.
"Hang on, huh? So we're supposed to just let everyone attack Darkrai when he has nothing to do with this crisis? The only reason Darkrai is being targeted by the people in the first place is because of that dumb Baron. Why can't he take a clue like we can?" Hikaru asked annoyingly.
"Well, that's Baron Alberto to you, unfortunately. Once he reaches to a conclusion... he just goes along with that conclusion even when we disagree with that." Alice sighed sadly.
Meanwhile...
The TV crew and Baron Alberto (in Licklicky's form) were leading all the Trainers to find the Pitch Black Pokémon and to see if they could defeat it, which could possibly solve the town's case of the mysterious fog.
"We join the venerable Baron Lickilicky and his posse of Pokémon Trainers as their quest to destroy Darkrai gets into full swing- EEK!" The reporter woman was trying to say until she was licked by the Alberto's large Lickilicky tongue by annoyance.
"That's Baron Alberto!" Baron Alberto snapped angrily as everyone kept walking. But as they were doing so, Maury spotted a familiar figure before pointing to see where their enemy was.
"There it is! It's Darkrai!" Maury called out. At the call, everyone turned their attention to where the Pitch Black Pokémon was! As the Trainers all understood that it was the time to fight, they all took out their Pokéballs to defeat the Dark Type while the Alberto and the TV crew watched to see the battle begin.
Back to Tonio...
While parting with the group, Tonio headed back to his lab to check the conditions of Alamos Town. With the help of Drifblim, who was monitoring the town by flying above, the young scientist searched up the times when the space-time anomaly had occurred a few times.
"Let's see... The space-time anomaly began occurring after Darkrai appeared. But at this point, the nightmares hadn't yet materialized..." Tonio said as he searched the pictures he had taken when the pillars seemed twisted at the garden.
As the young scientist took a few looks on the twisted pillars, he frowned before remembering the time when Darkrai had trapped Ash and Hikaru in the nightmares with Dark Void.
"It didn't take Ash and Hikaru very long to wake up... Soon after that, Darkrai appeared in the square! After that... that's when the nightmares materialized!" Tonio spoke to himself.
Remembering when the whole town was caught in a bright light along with Darkrai appearing, Tonio looked back to the data he had collected of the Pokémon that were trapped in the Dream World, caused by Darkrai's Dark Void attack.
But as he looked back to when the bright light had occurred, Tonio widened his eyes in realization as he played back the light flashing a few times, coming to a conclusion on why no one was able to leave now.
"Now I see! This has to be the defining events!" Tonio exclaimed. He stopped at the part of the video where the bright light had suddenly shone around town. Pausing at that spot, the young scientist zoomed in on where the twin towers were, where the light first came on.
Zooming in, at the center... Tonio witnessed a shocking surprise! Inside the light was... the ruler of space, Palkia!
"W-What is this!?" Tonio gasped as he couldn't believe his eyes. Then, he remembered the time when Hikaru confessed on what was on his and Ash's nightmare; the time when Darkrai had warned the two of the disaster that was about to occur.
Flashback
"When Ash and I were stuck in the nightmare, Darkrai had came out of nowhere and showed us an image of a colossal Pokémon... We think that Pokémon... is Palkia, one of the Legendary Pokémon in Sinnoh." Hikaru explained.
Flashback End
"Palkia..." Tonio said to himself. With that word in mind, the young scientist quickly packed his bag to head to the Pokémon Center, where Hikaru, Alice, and the others should be waiting at.
Back to Hikaru...
Hikaru was running to the town square, where the light had shone in the first place. He had Monferno on his left shoulder as he kept running to find where Darkrai was. After he and the others arrived back at the Pokémon Center, he made a quick leave, saying that he was going to try and find Darkrai.
"If Darkrai wasn't the one that trapped all of us in Alamos Town, then the Trainers that are hunting him down deserve to know about this! If only they'd realize that Darkrai isn't the type of Pokémon that would trap us all... Damn that Alberto! He started most of this by attacking Darkrai first!" Hikaru thought annoyingly.
As he ran, Monferno noticed the frustrated look on his face, causing him to nudge his human brother to catch his attention.
"Mon? Monferno?" Monferno asked worriedly, causing the Twinleaf boy to shake his head before he scratched the Playful Pokémon's head.
"I'm fine, buddy. Once we find Darkrai and get some answers that we need to know, we can decide on we can do next... as long as the Baron doesn't get in our way. He already caused enough damage as it is." Hikaru said, before grumbling about Alberto.
"Monferno..." Monferno nodded in understanding, as he also remembered the times when Alberto made his presumption about Darkrai causing all this chaos when the Pitch Black Pokémon appeared in the garden and in the town square.
But as Hikaru and Monferno were both getting close to where the town square was, the two noticed Darkrai being blasted away by a Flamethrower attack!
"What the...!?" Hikaru gaped to see an Infernape facing off against the Pitch Black Pokémon, with a Crobat, Masquerain, and Ledian at its side!
"Oh no..." Hikaru breathed out as he kept running to see a group of Trainers trying to corner and defeat Darkrai with their Pokémon! Allegra led the group by ordering another attack for her Fire Type starter.
"Infernape! Mach Punch, go!" Allegra cried out. Obeying her command, the evolved Flame Pokémon dashed to its opponent and knocked Darkrai off the roof with a quick Mach Punch attack! By the time Hikaru arrived, Kai ordered Empoleon to launch an attack.
"Empoleon, use Ice Beam!" Kai yelled. At the order, the Emperor Pokémon shot the Ice Type attack, trapping Darkrai inside for a moment before he freed himself! It was at that moment when Hikaru called out to the Trainers that were battling the Pitch Black Pokémon.
"What are you guys all doing!?" Hikaru snapped, causing everyone to turn to the Twinleaf boy and his Playful Pokémon.
"Ugh, not you again! What does it look like we're doing! We're destroying Darkrai! He's the main cause of all this craziness occurring!" Baron Alberto snapped back, causing the Twinleaf boy to glare at him annoyingly.
"Use your head, you moron! Darkrai isn't the type of Pokémon that can do all this! The light, the fog, and the illusion of all of us being trapped in town, this just can't be Darkrai's doing!" Hikaru snapped back, as Allegra and Kai frowned together. Even Maury was unsure on what to say before he spoke up.
"As much as we want to believe what you're saying, Hikaru... It doesn't give Darkrai the excuse to trap many of the townspeople's Pokémon in nightmares! Sorry to say this, but we have to do this!" Maury called out, with Allegra and Kai joining them.
"Maury's right... We may not know what is really happening, but with everything going on right now, we can't turn to blame anyone but Darkrai right now! I'm sorry, Hikaru..." Allegra said apologetically, with Kai adding in his words with an apologetic expression.
"This is the only choice we have right now, Hikaru... Now get out of the way! Otherwise, you'll get hurt by this mess!" Kai ordered reluctantly, causing Hikaru to widen his eyes in disbelief. Despite of his words and an attempt to convince, he was getting nowhere to anyone right now.
"Torterra, Bullet Seed, now!" Maury cried out. The Continent Pokémon wasted no time shooting the seeds at Darkrai! As soon as the attack landed, Infernape, Empoleon, and all the Trainers' Pokémon launched their attacks to defeat Darkrai, while Hikaru could only watch in horror.
With the attacks getting intense, it seemed as the Pitch Black Pokémon would take severe damage! Baron Alberto smirked in triumph while the TV crew all watched and filmed to see all the action happening.
"Darkrai is in a bad way! Could this be the end!?" The reporter woman asked hopefully.
But just as she asked, with the attacks all making their mark, it proved to have done nothing! The Pitch Black Pokémon immediately recovered from all the attacks he had taken before blasting the three evolved starters with a Dark Pulse attack!
The Twinleaf boy watched in horror to see Darkrai counterattacking, with a familiar move that could put everyone to sleep!
"Do not interfere!" Darkrai grunted loudly, before he was about to use Dark Void.
"Darkrai, NO!" Hikaru yelled. At hearing Hikaru's voice, the Pitch Black Pokémon stopped for a moment and gave a glance to see Hikaru standing near him with a frustrated and stressed look. Monferno on the other hand, looked cautious as he was ready to try and attack Darkrai if he needed to.
But with the "enemies" attacking him, the Pitch Black Pokémon shook his head a little before trapping all the Trainers' Pokémon in the nightmares with Dark Void! Everyone gasped to see their Pokémon being victims to the nightmare as well as they all ran over to them to try and wake them up.
Allegra, Kai, and Maury were also shocked as they ran to their starters to try and wake them up from their nightmares.
"Infernape, no! Wake up!
"Oh no, Torterra!"
"Empoleon, you have to wake up!"
As Hikaru looked around, he noticed that all the Pokémon that fought Darkrai just now had succumbed to the nightmares from the Dark Void attack. Gritting his teeth a little with frustration, he turned to see Darkrai glancing at him a little until Baron looked ready to step in with the reporter woman commenting on it.
"That move was simply... lovely! Uh, I mean... Darkrai's evil rampaging must be stopped!" The reporter woman commented as the assistant turned to the Lickilicky Baron.
"And since there's no one better to lip that brute, why don't you?" The assistant asked sheepishly, gesturing to Alberto himself.
"You do strike an imposing foe..." The reporter woman added, causing Alberto to blink before he smiled devilishly, turning to face the Pitch Black Pokémon himself.
"I guess I could take advantage of the situation! I've got it! And I'm going with it! Go! Gyro Ball!" Alberto called out as he spun fast to attack Darkrai, who quickly got out of the way, only for Alberto to strike again with another one of his "attacks".
"Then, it's Wrap!" Alberto called out as he wrapped his long Lickilicky tongue onto Darkrai, preventing the Pitch Black Pokémon from moving as he sneered in triumph.
"Ha ha ha! Not bad!" Alberto laughed in a muffled way. But as he was thinking of himself a lot, the Pitch Black Pokémon just glared before he moved fast, causing Alberto to be dragged along with him! And with enough force, Darkrai got Wrap off of him and sent the TV crew and Alberto flying into the air!
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" The TV crew cried out, causing Hikaru to blink at the words.
"Team Rocket...? They were disguising themselves as a TV crew...?" Hikaru said with a sweat drop before he faced Darkrai again. The Pitch Black Pokémon gazed into Hikaru's eyes while Monferno remained cautious.
"It's coming... Beware, young prince." Darkrai grunted before it flew away, as Hikaru watched him leave.
"Coming...? Could he mean... Palkia?" Hikaru started to say before he widened his eyes. Clenching his fists, he turned to see the Trainers trying to wake their fallen Pokémon before he ran off, heading back to where the Pokémon Center was.
"If Darkrai is sensing Palkia starting to come, then this is the time where it's going to get nasty!" Hikaru grunted as he picked up the pace to where the Center was.
Back at the Pokémon Center...
Tonio reunited with the group and Alice to show them the figure of Palkia... the Pokémon he discovered in the middle of the twin towers, and the cause of the glowing light that surrounded all of Alamos Town.
"Here, look at this!" Tonio said as he zoomed in close to show everyone Palkia's figure in the middle of the light, before Ash gasped in surprise and realization.
"Hey! Isn't that... Palkia? The Pokémon that Hikaru was talking about? That's also the same Pokémon that was in our nightmare together!" Ash exclaimed, causing the others to look at him.
"It is... Look closely. I'll digitally enhance the image..." Tonio said as he made the image more clearer, allowing everyone to see what Palkia really looked like.
"Oh my..." Alice breathed out as Brock frowned.
"So it IS Palkia, isn't it?" Brock asked, causing Tonio to nod in affirmation.
"Yes. It's just like what Ash and Hikaru said. It is said that Palkia lives between dimensions and rule space! It's a Pokémon that's been called a deity." Tonio explained, shocking Dawn enough to cause her to step back!
"A deity!? It's just like what Hikaru said, then! About Palkia being a Legendary Pokémon!" Dawn exclaimed in shock.
"When the garden was turned into a wasteland, it was a sign of Palkia's appearance!" Tonio explained. This made the group recall of when Darkrai appeared the first time, with the words he spoke to them about.
"Do not come here..." The words remained on everyone's mind as the young scientist continued.
"Darkrai sensed what was about to happen. It was at the moment when the sky lit up, that Palkia burst into the city!" Tonio explained, causing Ash to make a realization of why Darkrai appeared at that time, then.
"But Darkrai was the only one who saw!" Ash exclaimed as Hikaru arrived. The Twinleaf boy joined his friends as Dawn turned to her childhood friend.
"Hikaru? What happened out there?" Dawn asked, as Hikaru shook his head.
"It wasn't good. That fool... Alberto and the others confronted and attacked Darkrai! But... Darkrai trapped all their Pokémon in nightmares by using Dark Void... I'm afraid there's going to be more Pokémon trapped in the Dream World because of what the Dark Void did..." Hikaru explained stiffly.
"Oh no..." Brock grunted, as Alice held her hands together with a nervous expression.
"Hm... That is a problem. But for now, I think we discovered why Darkrai has been appearing several times." Tonio explained as Hikaru frowned, understanding on what the answer was.
"It's because of Palkia's presence, right? The glowing light and the garden that seemed twisted...?" Hikaru asked, earning a nod from the young scientist.
"That's right..." Tonio said. This led to everyone thinking of when Darkrai had spoken to the people to go away while using Dark Void!
"Go away!" Darkrai's words caused everyone to realize who he was talking to as the Kanto trainer was the first to speak up.
"Darkrai said that to Palkia! And... that's just what Darkrai was trying to tell both me and Hikaru! About Palkia! It's just like what Hikaru said about our nightmare..." Ash said, remembering the colossal figure of Palkia revealing itself to him and the Twinleaf boy, causing Hikaru to narrow his eyes.
"So that means... Palkia's here!" Dawn exclaimed before Brock frowned, raising another question to the group.
"But where is that?" Brock asked, only for Hikaru to give the answer.
"I think I know where... From the place where we saw the glowing light, right? Between the twin towers!" Hikaru answered. With that answer, everyone knew where to go and see where the ruler of space was as they ran out of the Center to head for that spot.
But as they were getting there, Hikaru heard a familiar voice while running as he looked up to see a visible figure between the two towers.
"Here!" Darkrai's voice rang into his mind as the Twinleaf boy blinked in realization, before he picked up the pace.
By the time everyone got to the spot where the twin towers were near, they all noticed a familiar dark figure flying to where Palkia seemed to be right now!
"Is that...?" Dawn started to ask before Ash finished it for her.
"Darkrai!" Ash called out as everyone watched to see Darkrai preparing to attack. But as Darkrai got close, an invisible force pushed the Pitch Black Pokémon back hard, strong enough to send him crashing to the ground!
"Darkrai, no!" Hikaru gasped before he and the others turned to see where Palkia was, looking asleep at the moment. Monferno, Pikachu, and Piplup all watched in awe and disbelief, as they were seeing the ruler of space in front of their eyes.
"That's Palkia..." Ash breathed out as Alice held her hands to her chest again, feeling uneasy with this.
"Oh my..." Alice said silently. Just as she did so, the Pitch Black Pokémon angrily burst out of the small rubble he was buried with before he quickly attacked again, this time with a Dark Pulse attack!
"Go away!" Darkrai demanded angrily before he launched the Dark Type attack to where Palkia was. Unfortunately, the attack was negated by the same force that knocked Darkrai down. And it got even worse. When the Dark Pulse seemed to have hit the invisible force, it awakened Palkia as well!
Opening its eyes, the ruler of space roared very loudly in anger, causing the clouds to suddenly clear away! As it did so, everyone witnessed themselves being surrounded by a void, where there was no sky but in a different reality!
"What in the...?!" Hikaru couldn't hide his shock, due to the scene changing so much. He knew that this wasn't their world they were in right now. What he and the others were in right now, was in a different dimension where Alamos Town was trapped in!
Back at the Pokémon Center...
As soon as Palkia had awakened and brought Alamos Town to a different dimension, the Dream World seemed to have faded away as all the figures of the Pokémon trapped in nightmares started to disappear! Leafeon and Buizel were the first ones to awake as they both slowly opened their eyes.
Nurse Joy noticed the two moving as she smiled to see the two free from their nightmares!
"Buizel! Leafeon!" Nurse Joy exclaimed, before she turned to see the other Pokémon spirits disappearing, signaling their awakening! Sudowoodo was among the Pokémon that had awakened as he made a happy salute, causing the nurse to smile at the energetic Rock Type.
Buizel and Leafeon on the other hand, chuckled a little together at the sight.
While the Trainers were rejoicing in their reunion with their Pokémon friends again, Lickilicky also woke up to see himself lying on the mat in the Pokémon Center! With Lickilicky awakening, it also made a big change onto Baron Alberto.
Meanwhile...
Baron Alberto was still in his Lickilicky form, struggling to walk as he had to walk long distances around town to find where his Dark Type enemy was. But as he was walking, he felt himself changing. And he was, from his Lickilicky form to his true human form!
With the transformation ending, Alberto checked his body and hands before running to a window where it showed his reflection! At seeing his body come back to him, Alberto cheered for his normal form, raising his arms up high into the air!
"All right! I'm me! Wonderful me- Huh!?" Alberto started to cheer until he looked up to see the sky black with several lightning sparking in the sky!
"AH!? ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY!" Alberto screeched as he knew even without knowing that this was the different dimension, he knew that another terrible event was about to occur.
Back to Hikaru and the others...
Tonio monitored of where the town was right now, thanks to Drifblim as he widened his eyes in shock, before he spoke.
"The town is floating in another dimension!" Tonio stated as everyone watched in disbelief. But just as things seemed to be getting ugly, Buizel, Leafeon, and Sudowoodo called out to everyone, running to their trainers, much to Hikaru, Dawn, and Brock's joy.
"Buizel!"
"Leafeon, you're okay!"
"Sudowoodo!"
The three trainers all called out their names in relief before they all hugged each other for the reunion as Alice smiled to see the former victims of the nightmare reuniting with their Trainers.
"Everyone's awake!" Alice called out in relief, before Tonio came to a realization.
"Of course! Palkia transported the town to another dimension, so when Darkrai's nightmares became thick in an unstable space, they required material form!" Tonio exclaimed. By the time he came to this realization, Palkia landed on the ground. As soon as it landed though, the impact of its landing turned the lamps into dust.
But as soon as the ruler of space landed on the ground, Alice noticed a few cracks on the left "orb" of its arm. It struggled to glow a little, which she noticed.
"Ah... It looks like Palkia is hurt..." Alice commented, causing everyone to turn to her before they turned to see that what Alice said was true.
While everyone noticed the wound, Darkrai shot a Dark Pulse attack, which seemed to have made a serious hit onto the ruler of space, as everyone watched to see it occur. But as the dust cleared away, Palkia looked unfazed! Instead, it looked even more agitated than when it had awakened.
It roared out loud before facing Darkrai. As it did so, the Pitch Black Pokémon shot Shock Wave onto the ruler of space, who created a barrier to prevent itself from taking any damage! With the Shock Wave negated, Palkia lunged at Darkrai, who got out of the way before he flew off.
The Legendary Pokémon chased after the Dark Type, refusing to let the meddler get in its way. As the chase went on, Palkia launched an Aura Sphere, forcing Darkrai to block it with another Shock Wave attack! The battle went on as everyone watched to see the two clash against each other.
But this is where things started to get worse. As the two were about to launch their attacks, someone else interfered! A Draco Meteor attack knocks Palkia away, while Darkrai tries to block it to prevent himself from taking any damage.
As the Draco Meteor attack made a hit, the group and the others watched to see the two Pokémon take the hit, with Dawn raising the question.
"What was that...?" Dawn asked as Hikaru widened his eyes.
"Oh no way... Why now!?" Hikaru yelled in disbelief as he looked up. Everyone else followed his eyes to see another Pokémon attacking! It struck Palkia, pushing it to another area of the town! As the two deities landed harshly, the impact of their landing began to make the town disappear little by little into dust!
No one was able to see it far, but with the two deities clashing against each other, Palkia was more on the defensive side a little as it pushed its opponent to the ground, allowing it to fly and escape from its opponent.
The opponent roared to see the escaping Palkia before it chased after the ruler of space! While the clash was going on between the two, the TV crew were all running in panic, as they didn't want to be a part of the mess they were suddenly involved in after being separated from Baron Alberto.
The two deities flew past them, enough to make the crew be sent flying before they hit the ground again, twice!
While the crew had to deal with their panicky situation, Palkia continued to fly and attempt to escape its pursuer. But the opponent had enough with the chase game, as it shot a Hyper Beam attack to blast Palkia! The ruler of space grunted in pain before it fell onto the ground, with everyone watching nearby.
As the opponent landed on the ground, Alice asked the question this time.
"Who's that?" Alice asked. But before Tonio could answer, the Twinleaf boy was the one to answer this time.
"Another one of the Legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh... But unlike Palkia, this deity was the Pokémon that was known to govern time... Dialga!" Hikaru answered, causing everyone else to watch in disbelief as they heard Dialga letting out a loud roar!
The roar made impact everyone and the whole town! Blue-colored waves spread across the town, affecting everyone while shaking the buildings! Even the clocks started to go crazy as the group tried to regain balance from the roaring Dialga had done just now.
As the roaring was done, Palkia recovered from the blast it took from Hyper Beam, before it roared back at the governor of time.
"They're both considered to be deities..." Brock commented as Tonio looked at his computer, checking to see what Dialga had done to the whole town.
"Hm... Palkia and Dialga must've battled in between dimensions! And so the wounded Palkia must have fled here, sealing the town yet, in another dimension... attempting to hide itself from Dialga!" Tonio exclaimed, causing everyone to look back at the two deities in disbelief.
Darkrai on the other hand, watched as the two glared at each other hatefully before Dialga began to use a Hyper Beam attack! Palkia formed an Aura Sphere with its remaining powers, before both of them launched their attacks at each other! The attacks collided before they exploded, causing another tremor!
Once again, everyone had to try and balance themselves from falling before they watched the ruler of space battle against the governor of time. With Hyper Beam dodged, Palkia launched several Aura Sphere attacks, which Dialga dodged.
The Hyper Beam and Aura Sphere attacks continued to fire against each other, before an Aura Sphere from Palkia was thrown to where the twin towers were! Darkrai took quick action of this by getting in front of the twin towers and take the Aura Sphere attack himself!
Despite the attack being super effective, the Pitch Black Pokémon was able to recover immediately, with Tonio commenting about something.
"Two entities that never should've met... crosses paths in the space-time rift! Their unbridled wrath has enveloped the city! And the result... destruction." Tonio spoke seriously, enough to make Alice worry as she asked.
"What do you mean?" Alice asked, before her childhood friend spoke again.
"The nightmare I read about in Godey's diary... It's happening here and now! Right before our eyes!" Tonio explained, catching Alice's attention as she frowned.
"Wait... Godey was dreaming about future events?" Alice asked, earning a nod from the young scientist.
"Yes..." was the only thing Tonio could say before he and Alice, along with the others looked back to where the two deities were about to unleash something very powerful. The gem on Dialga's chest began to glow, as well as gem on Palkia's left arm!
While they were doing so, the computer began to pick up powerful energy from the two, with Tonio widening his eyes at the sign of it!
"Tremendous amount of energy!" Tonio gasped as Hikaru widened his eyes. He recognized the two moves that the two deities were about to use.
"Dialga's about to use Roar of Time... and Palkia is about to use Spacial Rend! They're going to use their most powerful moves against each other!" Hikaru called out. Everyone braced themselves at hearing this as both Dialga and Palkia launched their ultimate attacks against each other!
As Roar of Time and Spacial Rend collided with one another, a tremendous amount of shockwave knocked everyone away, as well as Darkrai! As the shockwave spread through the whole town, many parts of Alamos Town began to disappear into dust.
Now with both Dialga and Palkia in this mess, it was going to be hard for the group and Darkrai to fix the mess they all got themselves into!

Tonio: It's no good! If those two keep this up, then there's no doubt that Alamos Town will cease to be!
Hikaru: Isn't there a way for the two of them to stop this? Their anger could be their darkness itself inside them!
Alice: Oración... That's the name of the song that my grandmother had taught me on the leaf whistle once...
Tonio: That's it! Oración... The song that can calm anything down, even if it's against a tremendous amount of rage.
Ash: Hold on! But which one of the music discs is Oración? There's too many to pick from!
Hikaru: Now what...? I still don't understand why Dialga and Palkia would fight on a small place like this...
