While the heroes waited for the train to arrive, the bus that the villains were actually taking was on its way to Tokyo. Sure, they stuck out like a sore thumb, but it was not the driver's job to discriminate.

All the while, Throh and Sawk were on their way to Tokyo by train right now. Sure, they knew the villains' train would arrive first, but this was the fastest method they could take. After all, they could not let down the very heroes who helped them save Osaka and even bested the villains who had made fools of them. They felt like they owed them a huge favour and this was their chance.

However, Sawk was looking rather nervous as Throh asked, "What's the matter?" Sawk sighing, "I can't help but fear we might lose this one for sure. After all, Aipom told us there were nine of them, right?" Throh nodding and replying, "Even if we lose, we still have to try. Don't ever forget that," Sawk nodding and smirking at his brother, both bumping their fists together.

After a few hours, the train that was originally carrying the villains arrived at the station. But just as Blaziken, Gallade and Gardevoir were poised for battle, only the usual citizens emerged. No one was wearing a cloak nor was there any sign of someone who was not human.

"Okay, guys, how long does it take to get from Sendai to Tokyo by train?" Gallade asked as Blaziken sighed, "Seven hours," Gardevoir whimpering as the chicken added, "Don't worry. It probably just got delayed."

During this time, the bus had already arrived as the cloaked figures stood before the Tokyo Dome, Butterfree saying, "Wow, the location of the finals match. That seems really convenient," Giratina remarking, "Well, this is definitely here, but I don't remember this building before. I'm really hoping the location hasn't been covered."

"Well, lead the way," Missingno said with a grin as the dragon nodded, going ahead of them while the others followed and said nothing.

And soon enough, the group was standing in the field. With no events going on right now, naturally the place was empty. This was too perfect, Giratina looking around before turning his focus to the middle of the area, saying, "There, this is the place."

With that, the dragon took a deep breath and let out a loud roar, the others watching in total aw as a big black hole appeared in the area. The dragon cleared his throat, saying, "It's not as easy doing that as it used to be," before turning to the others and adding, "Remember, you are all to make sure no one interrupts my recovery."

"Yeah, yeah, you don't need to remind us," Tyranitar remarked as Mawile simply stared at the portal, her hair mouth drooling a bit.

Absol rested an arm on her shoulder and said, "Come on, we're going in," Mawile replying, "But I thought we were keeping watch outside."

"Actually, I only want one of you staying behind," Giratina said, "Trust me, when you're in the Reverse World, it's a lot easier to take advantage of your opponent. I simply want you all to choose your own areas to guard in case someone tries to get through."

Missingno nodded and said, "In that case, I choose to stay close to you so no one can get to you while you're recovering," Giratina nodding and replying, "Very well."

The others then wondered who would stay behind until Blitzle cleared his throat and said, "Fear not, for I will stay behind and guard everyone," Aegislash shrugging and replying, "If that is what you wish, sir Blitzle," the zebra's eyes sparkling as she sighed, "Please don't think too much of that. I simply like to address males as sir every now and then."

"Actually," Missingno replied, "I'd prefer it if Tyranitar stayed behind," everyone staring as the boy added, "I've always thought of him as my best security guard, so I feel he's the best pick."

The others could not help but think there might be another reason for this, but Tyranitar seemed to buy it as he grinned, saying, "You can count on me, sir," the dinosaur holding his thumb claw up while the others entered, Butterfree quickly turning to him and stating, "Only attack any hero who tries to interfere. Humans are not worth your time," the butterfly then joining the others.

However, it was only natural that something this big would likely get the attention of someone, and it did as a news reporter arrived on the scene, saying, "I am now standing in the Tokyo Dome where a black hole has just appeared. Shockingly, it is not trying to suck anyone into it. And it looks like someone is standing in front of it."

At that very moment, Gallade, Gardevoir and Blaziken had started to really wonder if the villains would ever arrive when the broadcast started showing everywhere, including a TV that had recently been added to the subway station to broadcast news reports. When the report in question came on, all three turned, their eyes going wide.

"So, tell me, what is up with this here hole?" the reporter asked, holding her microphone up to Tyranitar's face as the dinosaur gulped, remembering he had been told not to attack any humans.

However, seeing the camera on him caused him to blush slightly as he cleared his throat and explained, "If you have to know, this here is a portal that leads to some kind of other world. I think it was called the Distortion World or the Zero World, I can't remember."

"And how did it appear in this very spot?" the woman asked as Tyranitar replied, "Well, that I can't tell you, but if you know what's good for you, no one out there will even so much as attempt to enter this place!"

The heroes stared in shock before Blaziken gritted her teeth, Tyranitar adding, "And even if by some miracle you do manage to get in there, my buddies will be waiting to tare you limb from limb, so I'd advise you to stay as far away from here as possible!"

The reporter nodded and replied, "Well, this reporter cannot ignore a threat like that. I'll be staying outside!" the dinosaur then blushing again and asking, "How do I look?"

"Dammit!" Gallade cursed, "They tricked us! We gotta hurry!" Blaziken remarking, "You think?" Gardevoir nodding as the trio took off.

During this time, Machoke and Gothitelle were in the middle of a sparring match when Octillery ran out from the house she was staying in and shouting, "COME INSIDE! YOU'LL WANT TO SEE THIS!" the two staring but refusing to question this. After all, it was very uncommon for Octillery to be alarmed by something.

When the two entered, she directed their attention to the news report as Machoke's eyes widened, the boy recognizing the Tokyo Dome right off the bat. As such, the boy groaned, "Oh no! I gotta go and help the others! They're probably already going to try and get through that!"

Octillery blinked and asked, "You sure? We haven't gotten a lot of training in yet," the boy remarking, "I know, but this is urgent! I don't know what's going on with that hole, but I can tell it's something awful!" Gothitelle nodding and saying, "He's got a point," the boy then groaning, "But how am I gonna get there fast enough!?"

Octillery thought about this, her eyes going wide as she placed a tentacle on his shoulder and said, "Worry not, dear Machoke, for I have just the solution."

And during this time, Lucario had seen the report as well while having lunch with his mother and sister, the dog gritting his teeth as Amanda said, "You want to go and help, don't you?" Lucario nodding and replying, "Naturally. This looks really bad," the dog then rubbing his chin and adding, "Now if only I knew a way to get there quickly. A plane would not be fast enough and a boat would be even slower."

Sarah thought about this and said, "Son, I know you and your father don't talk much, but perhaps I could call him up and ask him to swing by and give you a ride," the dog taking a deep breath, his body twitching as Amanda gave him a worried look, the dog sighing, "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."

At around this time, Beedrill had seen the announcement as well. After all, it was the government's job to help protect Earth, so it only made sense that they were able to see Earth's news reports.

His eyes were wide open as Weedle entered, exclaiming, "Son, have you seen the news!?" the wasp turning to his father and replying, "Yeah, I have. Do you know what that portal is?" the caterpillar sighing, "As a matter of fact, I do."

Beedrill nodded as Weedle explained, "That's the entrance to the Reverse World," the wasp looking confused as the caterpillar added, "See, that's the world Giratina was created in. Only he can open it, so the fact that it's open right now is a really bad sign."

Beedrill nodded and got up, Weedle asking, "Where are you going?" Beedrill replying, "You told me to start thinking for myself, right? Well, I'm finally going to do that, Dad," the caterpillar's eyes going wide as he spat, "HOLD ON, SON!" only for Beedrill to exit the room.

Weedle stared in shock as he took many deep breaths. A part of him wanted to feel proud of his son for taking such responsibility, but at the same time, he could not help but worry. After all, that was what parents did.

When Beedrill headed outside of the tower, he noticed Riolu getting into a spaceship and asked, "Going somewhere?" the dog nodding and replying, "Yeah, I just got an urgent call from my son," tears welling up in his eyes as he sniffed, "He's actually turning to me for help!"

Beedrill stared awkwardly for a few seconds before asking, "Okay, when did you become such a sap?" before shrugging and getting into a spaceship of his own.

While Lucario waited for his father to arrive, he heard the sound of flapping before turning and noticing a certain falcon land behind him. Talonflame stared for a while until the dog asked, "What do you want?" the falcon smirking and replying, "I heard you were gonna go bust some heads. Figured I might join you."

Lucario narrowed his eyelids as Talonflame sighed, "Okay, I deserve that," before adding, "Look, I admit it, I've done lots of things I'm not proud of. I scammed the government and even commited murder."

The dog took a deep breath and replied, "Well, to be fair, I killed an innocent civilian," the two staring at each-other before the dog asked, "How do I know you're not trying to trick me?" Talonflame remarking, "Please, you think I'd actually try that? After all I've done, there's no way I could pull the wool over your eyes."

These words were more than enough as Lucario smirked and held his arm forward, saying, "Well, I'll admit, fighting alongside you will increase my chances, not that I actually need the help," Talonflame remarking, "I don't really need it either, but I think watching Machoke fight has made me into a bit of a softie," the two shaking hands.

During all of this, Gallade, Gardevoir and Blaziken had arrived at the Tokyo Dome's entrance. Both turned to one-another with serious looks and nodded before sprinting inside. Upon entering the field, they noticed the news crew still there as Tyranitar continued to stand watch over the portal.

It was not long until the reporter spotted them as she exclaimed, "And it seems we are in luck, folks, as Tokyo's very own heroes have arrived at the scene!" Tyranitar gazing at them and shrugging, thinking, 'They don't look too threatening,' as Blaziken smirked, saying, "Alright, guys, you ready for this?" the others nodding.

With that, the reporter ran over and asked, "As obvious as the answer is, I must ask, why is it that you have come here?" Gallade smirking and replying, "We've come to fight for the side of justice!" Blaziken rolling her eyes and saying, "Yeah, that's about the gist of it."

"You're quite clever to have found this portal so soon," Tyranitar said with a menacing smirk as Gallade replied, "Not really. You are on live TV right now. It was only a matter of time," the dinosaur's eyes wide as his jaw dropped, Blaziken uttering, "You seriously didn't take that into account?"

Gardevoir stared at the portal and whispered, "He mentioned something about his allies being in there," Blaziken nodding and replying, "I remember that. One of us will have to distract him," Gallade smirking and replying, "Leave that to me. I've been itching for a fight."

However, just as the group was about agree, a female voice came from behind them, saying, "No, you three should go on ahead," all three turning and seeing a familiar wolf standing there with her arms folded, Gardevoir's eyes sparkling as she squealed, "Auntie!" Gallade asking, "What are you doing here?"

Psyla smiled and said, "I was just about to head back to France when I saw the news and figured you might need some help," Blaziken laughing nervously and replying, "No offence, but you're in your fourties, right?"

"I hate to say it, but she's got a point," Gallade said, "Surely you've heard of how powerful this generation of villains is, right? Even the great Bouffalant is no longer strong enough to stand up to the forces of evil," Psyla simply smiling smugly and remarking, "Oh, trust me, I am far better than you could ever comprehend," waving a hand through her hair as even Gardevoir could not help but stare awkwardly at her.

The wolf then took a deep breath and replied, "Look, trust me on this one. I know I'm not young like you, but I know I can take this guy. I may not know what's going on inside that portal, but whatever it is, it can't be good."

Blaziken nodded, saying, "She's right, guys. If we don't hurry, something really bad might happen," Gallade staring at the wolf and saying, "So you're sure you'll be alright," Psyla rolling her eyes and remarking, "Yes, now go already."

Gardevoir nodded as the trio started advancing toward the portal, Tyranitar holding up his arms defensively and saying, "Hey, if you get any closer, you'll regret it deeply," only for Psyla to leap toward him, performing a series of flips before sending her feet hard into his skull.

This seemed to deal decent enough damage to distract the dinosaur while the other three entered the portal, Tyranitar fuming and grabbing Psyla's ankles. After that, he proceeded to swing her around, letting her fly hard into the wall, feeling beyond peeved right now. He had been trusted to guard the Reverse World and he had already failed to keep three heroes out.

As if that was not enough for him to handle, Throh and Sawk had arrived at this exact moment, Sawk saying, "Good thing we saw that report," Tyranitar turning and gritting his teeth only for Psyla to recover from his attack, propelling herself off the wall and sending her feet into the back of his head.

The brothers simply stared at the wolf as she struck a fighting pose, saying, "Come at me if you're man enough," Tyranitar fuming and remarking, "Alright, whatever, my buddies can take care of these guys anyway! You've managed to piss me off, so I may as well focus on you!"

Throh and Sawk may not have known who this wolf woman was, but it was clear that she had the situation with this dinosaur under control. As such, the two nodded at one-another, gave Psyla thumbs up and ran through the portal.

Even so, Tyranitar's words were not to be taken lightly. After all, he and two others had already shown a great display of power earlier and there were five more to worry about. Would the heroes in the Reverse World truly be enough?

The Reverse World itself was a strange place to say the least. It seemed to compose of various floating fragments of land. Some were faced like normal while others were tilted sideways. There were even waterfalls flowing in directions other than downward.

"Okay, this is officially the weirdest place I've ever been to," Blaziken said as Gardevoir looked on ahead and uttered, "How are we supposed to be able to get anywhere in this world?" the other two soon seeing what she meant as the land form they were standing on was not particularly big and seemed to cut off with no forms close enough to jump to.

That was the moment Throh and Sawk caught up with them, the group turning as Sawk smiled, saying, "Hey, we came to help," Gallade nodding and replying, "Thanks for taking the time, but I'm not sure if we can really do anything here."

The martial artists looked around as well, their eyes wide as even they could see right away how awkward just moving around in this world would be. How did the eight who entered manage to navigate?

And right now, Blaziken was thinking about that as she said, "Okay, there has to be a secret to this. If the others who came in here were able to distance themselves from the entrance, then there is definitely something we're not seeing."

Gallade took a deep breath, rubbing his finger against his temple before his eyes widened, the boy sprinting toward an edge that led to one of the sideways land forms, Gardevoir squeaking, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" the boy leaping off the edge when suddenly, his entire body was flipped around, the boy landing firmly against the surface.

Blaziken blinked and said, "I see. So the laws of gravity are different here," Gallade's eyes open with shock as he uttered, "I can't believe I just did that," his knees trembling all the while.

"You rule, Gallade!" Throh exclaimed as Gardevoir immediately leapt over to join her brother. She took a deep breath, glad that was not as scary or difficult as it looked and it was not long until the others joined the two.

During this time, Psyla was on the defensive as she knew Tyranitar would not just allow her to hit him again now that he knew she could fight back. However, the dinosaur was not going to wait for an attack as he charged toward her, Psyla smirking as she saw this as a perfect opportunity.

Once he was close enough, she immediately swerved to the right, sending a roundhouse toward his midsection. But much to her surprise, the dinosaur seemed to see this coming as he latched onto her ankle, growling, "Did you think another one of those kicks of yours would work on me!?"

The wolf's eyes widened as Tyranitar added, "I get it. You're like all the others. You take one look at me and instantly assume I'm some kind of brutish moron who can't think straight! Well, I admit there are a lot of things I don't know, but when it comes to combat, I can figure out my opponents pretty quickly, and when you combine that with my strength, well, needless to say, it's a deadly combination!"

With that, the dinosaur lifted Psyla high above his head before ramming her back hard against the ground, her eyes widening as she coughed up blood. Luckily, she did manage to free her ankle and roll away from him, but even so, the two hits she had taken in left her feeling pretty winded as she was already breathing rather heavily.

The sad fact was that Gallade was not completely wrong to assume Psyla's age would be her downfall during this match. As if Tyranitar's strength was not bad enough, the wolf had certainly gotten weaker over the years so even one simple hit from a brute like him would come close to feeling like Gallade's Psycho Cut.

Around this time, Lucario and Talonflame were getting close to Tokyo while Riolu was going as fast as he could without endangering anyone. He had to admit, he was kind of disappointed to be giving someone else a ride right now but even so, he was just glad to finally help his son out with something.

All the while, Talonflame snickered at Lucario as he said, "Oh man, the irony is just wonderful," Lucario lightly ramming his elbow into the falcon's side as Riolu said, "Hey, if you two start a fight back there, I'm turning this shuttle around," the two folding their arms and groaning, "Sorry, sir."

Beedrill was also getting close as he took a deep breath, thinking, 'It's time to do what my father never did. I'm going to make a difference! Maybe then I can be a true hero!'

He then remembered how he had killed a hero by the name of Watchog before sneaking into the academy disguised as him. It was his biggest regret, even bigger than tricking Machoke and trying to add him to the list of murder victims.

But how close had Machoke gotten and what exactly was Octillery's mode of transportation? Whatever it was, it would have to be really fast as Giratina had less than eight hours to rest up and regain full power.
