"War does not determine who is right - Only who is left" - Bortrend Russel

The next day arrives as Ash and Nicole pack their thing and also return all their pokemon besides Pichu. A lot has happened in the night as Hoopa joined Ash's team and also that Nicole tased Ash several times whenever Hoopa takes things a bit too personal. THough now the two are gearing up and Ash sent out Hoopa to get them to Sinnoh faster which they did as they passed through one of the portal hoops and they are in the Sinnohians military base. Ash and Nicole walked toward the HQ as they knew who was in charge since the Fall of Kalos. They both walked in along with the two pokemon and opened a door at the end of the hallway only to barely get hit by a computer screen that hit the wall next to them.

"I DON'T CARE IF YOU GUYS ARE TIRED, IF SINNOH FALLS THEN YOU GUYS WILL BE DEAD, SO GET THE AIR MEN READY AND HEAD OUT FOR ANOTHER BOMBING MISSION!" Zack yelled at an officer who shuddered with fear as he stumbled passed Ash and Nicole before disappearing quickly around a corner. The two look over to Zack who was breathing heavily but when he noticed them he composed himself and smiled a little.

"Hi guys, sorry about that, things are a bit complicated with the soldiers being a bit rowdy with us teenagers telling them what to do," Zack said as he walked over to the two.

"Nice to know that you are leading them, because these guys apparently are being a bit stubborn," Nicole said as Zack smiled.

"Well, aren't all the military people stubborn?" Zack joked as several officers nearby glared in his direction without him knowing except for Ash who was looking around the place. Zack caught that and gave a serious look to him.

"So Ash, did Kuroda and Lillie make it out with you two?" Zack asked.

"No, I tried to contact them with aura due to signal issues in that escape battle but it is like they just cut themselves off as if they are hiding from something that may find them," Ash said.

"Well, enough of that, I am pretty sure those two can care for themselves, anyway, there is something you need to see," Zack said as his tone became a bit grim.

Ash and Nicole looked at each other before agreeing with Zack as the three walked to an area that was isolated from the main military HQ and was in a building where there were no security what so ever. Zack look around him to see if they are alone before taking out a staff card and placed it on a piece of the wall which glowed with approval before the wall began to open as Zack place the card away then gestured to the two as they enter the building with the wall door closing behind them.

"That reminds me of Primun Cave entrance," Ash smirked as Zack looked over his shoulder and look at Ash with a responsive smirk.

"Well, I was the one who actually thought of the door function but my original plan was to use psychic pokemon to power it, in the end, Kuroda and Tessa actually got me to replan it with them as they were going to use technology for it in a way," Zack said as they enter a room with a table and boxes. Zack walk to the table and pressed a button where a bunch of cameras and files appeared in an organized line. Ash and Nicole looked at this with awe as they look at Zack but Zack shook his head knowing their reaction and thought.

"No, this entire thing was actually Tessa's doing, she always been a crafty girl especially when she is around Alexa," Zack said as Ash and Nicole nodded in understanding before they walk to the table to check the files.

"So what did you want to show us?" Ash asked but Zack beat him to it as he swiped a certain screen camera to Ash. Ash looked at the image only to realize that it was a body camera attached to….Lillie?

"Zack...Kuroda is going to kill you if he knows," Ash sweatdropped which Zack became confused as he looked at the camera himself only to frantically swipe it away and brought a different one up.

"THAT IS NOT THE ONE, THIS IS THE ONE!" Zack said with a red face as Ash and Nicole looked at him with a suspicious look before looking at this camera which seems to be attached to...Kuroda…

Ash continued to look in but Nicole looked up to Zack with a frown as she became a bit suspicious.

"Zack," Nicole started as Zack looked at her with a confused look.

"Yes?"

"Did you attached a camera on to all of us?" Nicole said as she seem to try to contain herself. Zack saw this and looked at her with a nervous look as he chuckled and looked somewhere else as to find an escape.

"uh...I might have placed one on all of your guy's clothing, even Kuroda surpri…"

"YOU ARE DEAD!"

"EEP!"

As an enraged Nicole chased a scared Zack around the room with a taser gun in her hand, Ash continued to watch the footage which showed Kuroda, the camera holder, looking at Lillie and three other people as they are on a cliff with several grenades in their hands as if they are trying for a hit and run tactic.

'Ready?' Kuroda said in the footage.

The group that was with him nodded as they prepared to throw the grenades but a eerie shriek cried out startling the group including Ash, Zack, and Nicole.

"The hell…" Kuroda mutter as the camera turn to Lillie who was confused and scared as she looked at him for a moment when a beam of light flash nearby hitting one of the squad member turning the girl into stone.

"Everyone fall back!" Kuroda cried as the other two remaining squad members including Lillie got up and ran for their lives as Kuroda's camera turn around to face a Black-Red Vulture like bird hovering in the air with a guy that Ash and Zack know on the back of the Legendary Pokemon with an evil smirk on his face.

"Hahaha!" Calem cackled as he pointed to Kuroda which Yveltal's core started to form a black-red orb.

"Charmeleon Stand By!" Kuroda cried as a hand with a pokeball sent out his trusty genetic pokemon and the two instantly synchronized activating mid-megavolution as Charmeleon gain the appearance of his final evolution's mega evolution while retaining some features of his charmeleon body.

"Yveltal, OBLIVION WING!" Calem scream as Kuroda held out a hand with Aura energy that Ash, Nicole, and Zack can see is sending to Charmeleon.

"DRAGON CALL!" Kuroda cried as Charmeleon's surrounding engulf in black, blue, red, yellow, and orange fire forming a silhouette of a Charizard as Charmeleon roar sending the silhouette flying at the Oblivion wing attack as the two collided in the center fighting one another to overpower the other's attack.

Ash look at Zack as Zack's expression only said one thing, 'keep watching' as Ash turn back to the screen.

Suddenly the camera jerk as if Kuroda sensed something as the camera caught the image of his hand about to hold out a pokeball but an explosion happen sending him flying back. The camera was static for a moment but it came back to focus as Kuroda groggily got up only for him and also Ash and Nicole to see a sickening image.

Charmeleon was still in his form but is stone. The body is standing on the grass as it stood there with Kuroda speechless. The room that Ash, Nicole, and Zack are in suddenly became cold as they witness the most gruesome thing yet. Yveltal flew down but with a loud crash with its claw talons, smash the statue to pieces.

"CHARMELEON!" Kuroda cried out as he was about to send out another pokemon but stopped himself as a portal opened with the camera shutting off.

The room was silent for a while until Ash fell back onto his box seat with disbelief on his face.

"What...did you just show Zack…" Ash muttered while looking at the ground with shock. Nicole ran over to check on him while Zack just stood there.

"He isn't the only one," Ash looked up at Zack as he activated another camera footage except this one is in picture mode showing….Zack's Metagross and Gardevoir frozen in stone with another image of the same Yveltal smashing the statues.

"Zack…" Nicole gasped as Zack's aura flared a little.

"That bastard is targeting us for our pokemon, this info is important because we know that Tessa's top pokemon is...Nebby, Alexa is her espeon, and Serena is Braixen. Not just that, you two have pokemon that can counter him which he would want to rid first." Zack turn to Nicole.

"Your's is Rayquaza,' Zack then turn to Ash with a sicken face, 'while you are the target Ash.." Zack said grimly as Ash seem to show a more deadly expression in return.

"Let him," Ash said darkly to Nicole and Zack's surprise.

"Ash, your life is in danger here, if you die, your pokemon will be next!" Nicole tried to say but Ash's eyes flared for a second a rainbow aura which the two noticed except for Ash.

"If I fall, my pokemon will know what to do,'he said as Pichu on his arm nodded with a serious face and also the pokeballs on Ash's belt shaked violently in agreement, 'They will fight until the war is done or until they fall!" Ash said with anger as the room suddenly was filled with warmth and heat rather than the cold atmosphere not too long ago.

Meanwhile

In Kalos in a hidden cave from the outside, Kuroda, Lillie, and the two other surviving are sitting around a makeshift fire that one of the member's marowak provided. The two AGO survivors set up camp in the cave while Lillie tend to the pokemon that were dirty from trying to make the hidden cave or also wounded from enemy soldiers. Though Kuroda just laid against the cave wall as if his aura powers diminished and his life energy is gone. His eyes were glazed and colorless which caught the attention of his pokemon as they walk over to him to get him back into reality but it seems as he is in a coma stasis state as he made no movement or response even with Pichu sending bolts after bolts of thunderbolts at him. Lillie is worried as well along with the other two AGO survivors as they are worried about their squad leader not moving a single bit after the event that shocked them.

"Kuroda, you okay?" Lillie ask as she stopped Pichu from using anymore of her energy as she sat next to Kuroda who didn't respond. Now very worried, Lillie took out her wrist device and activated the aura scanner as she scan Kuroda. Once the scanning was done, Lillie check the results, only to just stand there silently.

"Ma'am, is something the matter?" the male survivor asked as he and the other survivor, who is a girl walked over to check as well, only to become shocked.

"His aura reading… is empty," Lillie mutter.

Back at Sinnoh HQ

"Issue is that we aura users are connected to our pokemon the second we either have a type of bond or even catch them, so losing them is like losing a piece of our life energy or even our life aura," Nicole said as Ash and Zack sat across from her like in a triangle as the three are discussing the issue.

"But the thing is, if the source...not the trainer dies, the pokemon also loses their life aura, so Ash, either way, you and your pokemon are going to be affected by this no matter what," Nicole said to Ash as he groan out of annoyance.

"Fine, but still, we need to go over there and help them get out of there," Ash said sternly as Zack snorted.

"Good luck doing that, given the fact I lost two of my pokemon, my life energy is wavering and I really can't do much, also, I think Nicole forgot something, depending on the strength of your bond with your pokemon, it's effects will vary, My life aura is on the brink of making me become a disabled person due to my very strong bond with Gardevoir and Metagross, I don't want to risk losing my other pokemon and also risk losing my own life to endanger my other pokemon, you are on your own," Zack said as he sat down on a nearby box.

Ash nodded as he noticed that even standing up is draining him, but a thought suddenly hit him.

"Wait, did you just said the effects vary depending on the strength of the trainer and pokemon bond," Ash shouted as he look at Zack with intense eyes as he sweatdropped.

"Uh yes…"\

"How strong is Kuroda's bond with his pokemon," Ash demanded.

Zack pondered but then realization came to his eyes as he now understood what Ash is trying to say.

"His bond is as strong as mine, we both have same amount of strength with our pokemon, but he has a very extreme bond with Charmeleon just as I am with Gardevoir, maybe a little stronger...are you saying that," Zack started but Ash ran to the hidden door and opened it as he ran out in a hurry sending out Charizard and in an instant was gone.

"Nicole, go catch up with him! I will gather some other soldiers to come with us!" Zack said as he ran out with Nicole next to him as she looked at him with a skeptical face.

"I thought you said you are too weak to do anything?!" Nicole shouted as she took out Rayquaza's ball and sent him out.

"Well, it seems as I am back in shape, besides, I got a little hello gift to send to Calem for his fucking empty can of a head!" Zack yelled as Nicole jumped onto Rayquaza's back and flew off.

Air

Ash continued flying on Charizard's back as the two flew breaking the sound barrier due to Charizard's extreme speed. Ash's body flared with aura as he gave some to Charizard for extra energy to maintain the speed. Suddenly a green flying serpent descended next to him as he saw Nicole on Rayquaza's back with a serious face as she nodded in agreement as he returned the nod as they look back forward to see Kalos in sight. Though what they didn't notice were the small portal holes on the side of the cliff seeing the beach as they near the shores. Just the two started to descend the portals open spilling out creatures they never seen.

"WHAT THE?!" Ash cried out.

"ULTRA BEASTS, TAKE THEM OUT RAYQUAZA, DRAGON ASCENT!" Nicole yelled as Rayquaza open his mouth and shot out a beam with the tip of the beam the shape of a dragon as it tear through one of the beasts that look like a mosquito that worked in the gym and also a tower-like creature with eyes on each brick. The two beast fell but then six more took their place as they charged the two. That was when the DAU soldiers came running to the beach as they fire their guns at the sky which Ash yelled at Charizard to use flamethrower which melted the bullets upon contact while Rayquaza continued to fight the ultra beasts that were pouring out like bees from a hive. It seems as both Nicole and Ash are about to get overwhelmed when suddenly engine noises and multiple roars are heard which both sides stopped to see what it was. Ash turn and what he saw made him smile as he can't believe his eyes.

"Hey Ash, see you could use some backup!" Tessa yelled as she is on Nebby, who is now Lunala in the sky gleaming as the sky suddenly erupted with ultra wormholes pouring out battleships and water pokemon in the sea to jets, bombers, flying and certain dragon pokemons in the sky as they gather behind Tessa. Suddenly, another portal open with Hoopa, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina coming out of it, with Alexa and Serena on Palkia, while on Giratina is Zack who seem to be a little sick but in good mood.\

"Guess who decided to join the battle!" Zack cried out before puking off the side of Giratina as Giratina took shape of his reality form from his distortion form.

"Hi Ash!" Serena cried out as she and Alexa waved with Palkia roaring an echo.

Dialga flew down to Ash and Nicole as the two understood as they jumped onto his back while their pokemon followed behind Dialga as he use roar of time freezing the ultra beasts coming at him as he rejoined with the rest of the attack army.

"Alexa, Serena!" Nicole cried out with a smile as she waved back at them.

"How you guys manage to get everyone here?!" Ash cried out as Alexa, Serena, Tessa, and Zack look at each other with a smile.

"This isn't everyone you know," Tessa giggled as she patted Nebby who cried out again.

An Ultra wormhole burst open massively as a sci-fi space cruiser slowly came out with weird blue-white people on a purple bee-like pokemon flew out behind Tessa.

"I made some friends thanks to Nebby here," Tessa smiled as Nebby smiled at Tessa.

"Ultra Recon Squad here to help!" a man said as he hung on the purple bee creature with a lance like weapon like he is a knight with the other strange people.

"Kanto Power!" The Kantonians cried out from their battleships in the sea.

"Sinnohian Pride!" The Sinnohians roared from their flying and Dragon pokemon.

"Kalo's Redemption!" The Kaloians chanted on their water pokemon.

Ash and Nicole look at each other with smiles as they couldn't believe their eyes. All this started with trying to get to their friends but now, they realized that this is actually a comeback in such a short time, hell, it is just one day from Kalo's fall and now everyone is banded together for this. Ash look at Dialga as the time pokemon spoke to him.

"Master Arceus wanted us to join you for the balance of peace, due to a change in his powers, Arceus sent his powerful children but it seems as brother Giratina joined due to the amount of pollution in his world so he join to rid the source," Dialga said, 'but it is also to retrieve a certain subordinate of mine that stubbornly does things his way," That last part made Ash chuckle along with Nicole who listened as well but a roar interrupted the moment as all look at Kalo's beach to see a massive battalion of DAU readying their defense along with a certain bird soaring above like a watcher.

"ATTACK!" Calem Cried as rockets, Artillery, and flying pokemon with water pokemon roared to the sea to engage the army.

Ash's eyes flared with the same rainbow aura as he thank Dialga for the ride before jumping back onto Charizard's back as he look at his friends once more, especially Nicole, before turning his gaze back to the incoming army.

"FOR ARCEUS!" Ash scream as he and Charizard zoom toward the enemy with the rest of his friends and allies roaring in response as they charged behind him.

"Nebby use Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom!" Tessa cried as her body and Nebby's glowed with a power aura as several portals open around her launching several powerful beams out towards the enemy flying pokemon and planes causing explosions with each contact.

"Alright, Giratina, let's go, Dragon Rush!" Zack yelled as Giratina is engulf with powerful purple energy as he zoom straight into the enemy knocking everything out of his path.

"Palkia, cover fire with aura sphere!" Alexa yell as the time pokemon form a million orbs as wave after wave are launch causing explosion with each contact of an object.

"Skarmory air slash!"

"Dragonite dragon breath!"

"Honchkrow, dark pulse!"

"Wailord, Hydro Pump!"

"Gyarados, dragon pulse!"

"Dragonair, Hydro Cannon!"

Boths sides collided as they engaged each other by both pokemon and humans. The soldiers of both sides fired at each other while artilleries, cannons, grenades, and bombs exploded along with certain pokemon attacks that causes explosion. The ultra recon squad soldiers flew to the beach where they head for the cliff that was heavily guarded as DAU fired upon them. They charged at the bunkers as DAU turrets fired at them, several of them fell out of the sky as the bullets penetrated them in the head while the rest hit the bee-like beasts which some just absorb the bullets while those that were unfortunate fell dead to the beach's bloody sand.

On the beach. Soldiers ran from transport ships to the cliffs as bullets, grenades, and artillery fire surround them as they return fire. Pokemon that were in their pokeballs are sent out as they fired attacks at the cliffs where opposing pokemon counter the attacks.

Ash rode on Charizard as four dragonites with soldiers on them flew at him. Ash held out his hand as the rainbow aura engulf him and Charizard as an aura sphere of pure aura form in front of them.

"Charizard, dragon pulse," Ash calmly said as Charizard open his mouth as the pure aura sphere changed as it became absorbed by Charizard.

"All dragonites, use dragon rage!" the lead soldier cried as the four dragonite roar before soaring at Charizard who finish powering up. Just as the dragonites near Ash and Charizard, he place out his hand as he simply said the next word emotionlessly.

"Fire,"

Like a laser beam, Charizard launched a rainbow color dragon pulse at the dragonites which engulf all of them before the beam resided showing that the dragonites were knocked out and falling to the ground while the soldiers were nowhere to be seen as they were disintegrated. Ash look at the four knocked out pokemon that are on the ground amongst the bodies of pokemon that were either knocked out, killed, or looking around them senselessly for their trainer who are probably dead or missing with remorse as he couldn't believe how all of this just started with the Alolan league.

"Let's go," Ash patted Charizard's neck as the fire lizard growl in understanding as he flew past the cliff from the massacre behind him as Ash flew inland.

Meanwhile on the beach, Zack, Nicole, Tessa, Alexa, and Serena are fighting back to back with their pokemon as they are in the trenches of the DAU defense in the cliff as they are being charged from every side as they are trying to fend for their lives.

"Espeon, psychic!" Alexa cried out as she wack a soldier with a shovel which knocked out the soldier's teeth and render him unconscious while Espeon picked up several pokemon with her telekinesis power as she toss them somewhere else to the side.

"Zack, don't you have any pokemon to use?!" Serena yell as she command Braixen and Pancham to counter a tyranitar who was charging at them knocking everything including its allies to the side as it was in a rage.

"Can't, I don't want any of my pokemon to get hurt in here, besides, I can render the pokemon unconscious which should be enough," Zack said as he jab his machete in a DAU soldier heart before yanking it out and held out his hand to a group of pokemon while using his aura powers to cause those pokemon to fall asleep. Though the others weren't able to see, Zack was getting weaker with each time he uses his powers.

"We need to get an opening for the troops to pass by!" Nicole cried out but Tessa already beat her to the punch as she called for Nebby.

"Ready Nebby?" Tessa yelled out to Lunala as the legendary moone pokemon nodded as she took out a master ball and a weird device.

"Alright, FUSION EVOLUTION!" Tessa cried out as she sent out a weird looking creature dress in black armor who flew towards Lunala who did the same as Tessa threw the device at them causing a blinding light as Tessa took out a weird z-crystal from her pocket as she held it to her heart.

"Alright Nebby, Light that burns the sky!" Tessa yelled as the z-crystal in her hands glowed with power as she sense the energy flowing from her to a modified Nebby who then glowed again revealing a yellow glowing creature with four wings and also red and blue eyes screeching to the sky as all pokemon and humans around it even on the beach and sea saw it as they stare in fear as the creature screech again causing the area to become engulfed in light as no one was looking away except for Tessa and the group as Tessa scream at them to look away and close their eyes. Just like that , a massive explosion appear which Ash, who is far away inland now, look back to see a small dome of light appear for a moment before disappearing.

"What the heck?" Ash mutter as he was shocked by the amount of power and aura energy coming from his thought was broken when a beam of dark red energy burst near him and nearly hitting Charizard who manage to get out of the way in time as Ash held on for dear life before things calmed down. Ash looked up from Charizard's back and saw Calem with an evil grin on his face as he is on Yveltal.

"Nice of you to be first in the funeral Ash," Calem smirked as Ash snorted.

"Whose funeral is this, mine or yours," Ash hiss.

"Depends, it will be decided when one of us falls," with that said, Calem and Ash both command their ride pokemon to the ground. Once the two reach solid earth, both of their pokemons pop out of their pokeballs glaring at each other as their trainers took out different types of pistols and also knives.

"One shall fall, and one shall live," Calem snicker as Ash kept a straight face as he stared down Calem.

"You got that catch phrase wrong," with that, both sides collided as in the background the battlefield is littered with explosions and gunshots that can be heard all the way to Sinnoh.
