Day 5- 11:00 A.M. Location: outskirts of Lumiose City.

The group passed through the portal, turning back to normal.

"That still freaks me out." Nan shivered.

"I wish we could've beaten them up there." Flash frowned. "Would've been easier with our keyblades... Let's head to Geosenge Town."

Day 5- 12:00 P.M. Location: Geosenge Town.

"Wow. Big machine." Nan noted, wide eyed.

"Hm... But how to stop it..." Flash scowled.

"I'm gonna destroy it." Alicia started rolling up her sleeves and taking off all her jewelry.

"W- wait! That's dangerous!" Peanut yelped, flustered.

"Alicia. You know you can't without magic." Flash said calmly.

"Bruh." Alicia unrolled her sleeves and started putting her jewelry back on.

"We just need to figure out a way to stop it." Nan said.

"If only a plot device could occur." Peanut sighed.

"Hey, guys!" Foxfire ran over to the group.

"Hi plot device!" Peanut waved at Foxfire cheerfully with his tail.

"I found out something was going on, and my research brought me here." Foxfire explained. "I found Team Flare's hideout."

"Great. Lead us to it." Flash said bluntly.

"Um... I mean, it's kind of dangerous. I was gonna call the police..." Foxfire reasoned.

"I don't remember stuttering." Flash replied sarcastically.

"He wants you to bring him to the hideout. Bring him to the fucking hideout." Alicia glared at Foxfire. "Do I have to fight you, bitch?" She rolled up her sleeves and started taking off her jewelry.

"Alright, alright, I'll take you to it!" Foxfire sweatdropped. "Jeez..."

"Thank you. No need for violence, Alicia." Flash said.

"Bruh." Alicia rolled her sleeves down and put her jewelry on.

Day 5- 12:15 P.M. Location: Team Flare Secret HQ.

"Alright, here it is." Foxfire led the group into the secret Team Flare headquarters.

"Good work, Fox." Flash nodded.

"The solution to our problem should be here." Nan stated.

"Well, well. I'm surprised you chased the remains of my team here." Lysandre grinned, having been lying in wait for the group.

"Lysandre." Flash tensed.

"You piece of shit. I'm gonna fuck you up and make sure you don't fucking fuck shit up." Alicia started rolling up her sleeves and taking off her jewelry.

"I'd like a rematch with Flash, actually." Lysandre stated.

"Bruh." Alicia rolled her sleeves down and put her jewelry back on.

"Let's do this, then. Nothing's changed. I'll destroy you." Flash glared at Lysandre.

Lysandre sent in Mienshao first. Flash quickly sent in Gardevoir, who easily dealt with the enemy using moonblast.

Next came Honchcrow, who was also easily defeated by moonblast.

Lysandre finally sent in Pyroar. Flash considered before switching in Inkay. Inkay used topsy-turvy before using psychic to attack. Pyroar wasn't too damaged and used fire blast. Inkay used dark pulse, but Pyroar countered with his own dark pulse and defeated the little squid Pokemon.

After hesitating for a moment, Flash sent in Peanut. Peanut was knocked down by Pyroar's hyper voice. He glared and tackled Pyroar down. He used bite and then was thrown off. Flash scowled in frustration and switched in Fletchling.

Fletchling used aerial ace to knock Pyroar back. Pyroar used fire blast, striking and burning the little bird. Fletchling glared and used a tackle/quick attack/wing attack combo to chalk up damage against him. Fletchling then used aerial ace to defeat him, though he then was damaged again by a fire blast. Fletchling fell as well.

Lysandre's Gyarados was met by a determined Peanut. Peanut used shadow ball to strike Gyarados then tackled and bit him. Gyarados used outrage to slam Peanut away. Peanut got up and dealt a few more attacks to the enraged Pokemon. Gyarados then brutally defeated the Eevee with outrage.

Flash sent in Gardevoir, who promptly finished Gyarados with a thunder.

"Very good. But can you stop the weapon in time...? I doubt it." Lysandre fled further into the base.

"Let's crush him." Flash said darkly. The group called out their Pokemon and rushed through the base, defeating all the remaining Team Flare grunts. They got to a room with a tree in the center.

"What is this shit?" Alicia wondered.

"That's Xerneas. It's the legendary Pokemon whose life force is being used to power the Ultimate Weapon." A familiar voice informed. Toxic and Shadow stepped out from behind Xerneas.

"Toxic!" Nan gasped.

"What are you doing here?" Flash wondered.

"We've been waiting for you to show up. We need to capture Xerneas to get rid of Team Flare's energy source, so we need that master ball." Shadow informed.

"I see." Flash nodded and gave the master ball to Toxic. Toxic then tossed the ball at the tree, capturing Xerneas.

"This should stop the weapon from firing." Toxic smiled in relief.

"Right. I'll be taking it back as such." A cold voice said. Lysandre entered the room in a new, robotic outfit. "I've played around enough... I'll be defeating you all and taking the legendary back."

"I won't allow that." Toxic sent in Xerneas as Lysandre prepared to battle...

Lysandre sent in Mienshao and Honchcrow, but both were quickly defeated by Xerneas's moonblast. Pyroar came in next. He started damaging Xerneas with fire blasts, making Toxic frown.

"Geomancy and then moon blast!" Toxic ordered. Xerneas did so and managed to eventually take out Pyroar, though barely had any health left.

"Xerneas barely has health left... But my strongest Pokemon is coming out now! Come, Mega Gyarados!" Lysandre laughed as he sent out and mega evolved his Pokemon.

"Toxic. Let Xerneas rest. I'm gonna finish this." Nan suddenly stepped in, sending out Lucario.

"Alright..." Toxic worriedly retrieved Xerneas and stepped back. Nan mega evolved Lucario. Gyarados struck with an aqua tail that Lucario caught, but the water attack overwhelmed him and slammed him to the ground. Lucario then dodged a number of outrages before getting behind Gyarados. Lucario ended the fight with a single aura sphere.

"Good job!" The group cheered and congratulated Nan and Toxic.

"Hehe... 'Twas nothing." Toxic grinned.

"...I see..." Lysandre glared at them darkly. "Then... I'll just destroy those of us here... With the remaining power..."

This caused the group to freeze. Lysandre pressed a button on the remote control.

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, BITCH!" Alicia screamed.

"NO TIME! RUN! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Shadow ushered the group out of the base, but they only made it to Geosenge Town before the weapon finished charging up...

A large beam shot from the crystal. However, it suddenly fell back down and destroyed the weapon and the secret headquarters instead of the town.

"...well that failed." Nan sweatdropped.

"Looks like Team Flare's done." Flash grinned. "Now just one badge left..."
