Ashchu tried to run to his brother, before Zygarde blocked his path with his foot
"Don't get close to that thing" he said, looking straight at the tornado
"Thing" Missing Number said, almost jokingly "Is that any way to refer to your brother?"
"Brother?" Max asked
"Technically" Zygarde said, starting to charge up a Dragon Pulse
"Now, I bid you goodbye brother" Missing Number laughed as it started floating upwards "I have some work to do"
"No you don't!" Zygarde yelled, launching the Dragon Pulse at the monster, but the strange tornado surrounding the creature deflect the shot back to him, knocking him down. Missing Number laughed as it teleported somewhere else, the group left in complete shock, until a small yellow rodent ran to his brother's side
"Ash you okay?" Ashchu asked
"Can't... move" Ash panted, focusing all his energy to standing up
"Easy" Zygarde said, walking over to him crouching and touching his back "You had your aura drained, trust me, I've seen them do this before you three got off pretty easy" he petted Ash head, before he walked to Nubtup and Gary "Now, all of you need to get out of here right now" he healed the two pokemon and then walked to the center of the cave and looked up just as the ground started shaking
"What the heck?!" Gary yelled, running to the rest of their friends along with Nubtup "An earthquake?"
"No" Zygarde said looking around "The volcano is gonna erupt"
"What!?" Bolt yelled "But this volcano dormant!"
"It was, before Missing Number got to work" Zygarde said, as small drops of magma started seeping from bellow "Get out of here!" everyone nodded, but before the three pikachu could exit the cave a large chunk of the ceiling blocked the path
"Ash, Pikachu Ashchu!" they heard May yell as they tried to climb the rock with no luck
"Guys, get over here, quick" Zygarde yelled as small pools of magma started forming, with bubbles coming up as the ground started cracking, the three nodded and ran over to him "Stay close. Protect!" he yelled, extending his arms creating a protective bubble around them before the volcano erupted, sending the four of them flying, Zygarde still holding the protect despite the fact the velocity caused the three chus to pass out.
"Augh, my head" Ash said, his vision blurry, he felt something cold and wet on his fur "Is that... snow?" he rubbed his eyes and looked around. It looked like the top of snowy mountain, he couldn't remember any place like this near Cinnabar Island, with the two other pikachu laying next him, he saw Zygarde walk over to him
"Ash, you ok?" he asked
"Yeah, I'm okay" Ash said, slowly standing up "A little dessorientated. Where are we?"
"The side of the volcano" Zygarde said, angrily looking at the top of the mountain
"Wait" Ash said "Were still on Cinnabar Island?!" Zygarde nodded "But it never snows here, this is a tropical vacation spot!"
"That isn't the worst of it. Look at the sky" Zygarde said, as complied and gasped at what he saw, the whole sky was nothing but a mass of what looked like gray, purple and white pixels, constantly fluctuating
"Ow, what just happened?" Bolt asked, getting up along with Ashchu, until they heard a roar coming from higher up the mountain, Zygarde frowned and ran up the side of the hill, the three chus tagging right behind seeing Missing Number in front of a giant, green snake like dragon
"Hello Rayquaza" Missing Number said, floating over the mouth of the volcano
"You" Rayquaza growled, a ball of energy forming in it's mouth before flying to the strange monster, where it simply bounced off the barrier that surrounded it, Missing Number's tornado opened to reveal it's strange pixaleted form, before sending his own ball of energy, knocking the giant dragon to the ground, a long arm-like appendage appeared and wrapped itself around Rayquaza, the tentacle glowed, before Missing Number pulled it back, Ash saw a flash of blue light came out of the body of the large pokemon. The three chus gasped in horror as Rayquaza dessintagrated
"What just happened?" Ashchu said, frozen in shock
"Ripped out his aura" Zygarde said "You three, get out of here!" Zygarde closed his eyes as he transformed into a giant green and black serpent with hexagonal eyes and frills on his back
"Ah" Missing Number said, the wind barrier closing around it again "Order against chaos once again" it laughed as it blasted Zygarde with a large ice chunk, witch the large dragon dodged and shot a Dragon Pulse back, witch bounced of the barrier and went flying to three pokemon nearby
"Scatter!" Bolt said, as the three of them jumped out of the way of the attack
"We have to get out of here!" Ashchu yelled over the wind, as the two creatures fought
"What about Zygarde!?" Ash said "He needs help!"
"Don't be an idiot Ash!" Bolt said, grabbing Ash arm "That thing will tear you to shreds! You'll end up like Rayquaza!"
"He's right Ash, we can't help him!" Ashchu said, looking at his brother. Ash looked at both of them and sighted
"Okay" Ash said "But..."
"Incoming!" Ashchu said as large rocks flew towards them, too close for them to dodge they braced for the hit, witch never came, the three opened their eyes and looked above them, two large creatures where flying over them, one a giant deer like pokemon with multicolored antlers and the other one a giant red wyvern
"Xerneas" Bolt said "Yveltal" as the two landed in front of them ready to fight
"Get behind something!" Yveltal yelled, shooting a large energy beam from his mouth at the monster floating overhead, the three pikachu ran behind some rocks to take cover.
"You three are getting on my nerves" Missing Number growled, blasting all of the legendaries with strange looking attacks, from balls of energy to chunks of ice
"Augh!" Xerneas yelled as chunk hit her and knocked her down to the ground, the other two pokemon ran to her side
"You are pathetic" Missing Number sneered "It's time for me to end this ridiculous struggle" Ash couldn't simply stand there and let this kind of thing go on, he took of from behind the rock and took off at top speed towards Missing Number
"Ash!" Ashchu yelled, as his brother jumped, surrounded by lightning straight at the monster, only to be intercepted by one of the tentacles
"Did you really think that would work" Missing Number said, moving Ash closer to it's 'face' "I'm going to enjoy this, Ketchum"
"Then... just do it!" Ash said, readying an attack
"Oh, I'll do it" Missing Number said "But I'll do it slowly" Ash struggled as Missing Number's tornado cover started to open up, revealing the strange pixaleted creature "Look at my face" Ash tried to look in another direction but Missing Number used another one of the tentacles to hold Ash's head in place, the pikachu shut his eyes tight, trying to build up the electricity to try and escape. As Ash was being held, Zygarde, Xearnea and Yveltal looked up
"We need to help him" Xerneas said, only for her brother to shake his head
"No, if we attack, we'll blast Ash more than Missing Number" Yveltal said, Zygarde just growled as Missing Number squeezed Ash to try and get him to open his eyes
"You can't hold out forever" Missing Number said, squeezing him harder. Ash couldn't hold out anymore he gasped in pain opening his eyes and looking straight at it's 'face', an ever shifting pixaleted form Ash could feel it sapping something from him
"Have...to do it... Now!" Ash thought, using the last of his strength of let go the strongest attack he could "THUNDER!" the electricity went up Missing Number's arms straight into it's body
"AGH!" Missing Number yelled, in instinct he threw Ash with tremendous strength, sending him flying straight at a rock. The speed and strength caused the rock Ash crashed into to crack
"Ash!" Ashchu and Bolt yelled, running to his side
"NOW!" Zygarde yelled, sending a Hyper Beam at Missing Number, Yveltal shot Oblivion Wing and Xerneas started blasting Moonblasts all hitting the monster "Your going back to that dimession!" the monster screamed as it's form dessintegrated, a bolt of blue light flew at the pile of ash, reconstituting Rayquaza, all that was left floating was a ball of pixaleted energy, most of which was being pulled downwards the volcano back to the door
"I won't be stopped so easily this time!" Missing Number yelled "I'll will be back, sooner than last time!" the voice dissapeted as they all heard the large stone door slam
"Is it gone?" Xerneas asked as Zygarde turned back into his human form
"I think it is" Zygarde said as the sky cleared up and snow started melting "Still.." he brought out of his thoughts by a scream
"Ash, please get up!" Ashchu cried, tears streaming down his face as he shook his brother's body in vain
"Hang on!" Xerneas said, flying over, Zygarde and Yveltal behind her as she started glowing pink in an effort to heal him. Zygarde gulped, he knew what was happening, if he didn't think of something quickly, Ash Ketchum would never wake up.
