"Alright, so you're sure the next plate is around here?" Ash asked, as they walked into town.

"Positive, I can still feel the Insect Plate's presence in this area." Arceus said.

"That's what you said about the Pixie Plate and Paul, but he seemed fine." Ash said.

"I admit I may have been incorrect about the Pixie Plate, it has been far longer since I had that one in my possession, but I'm 100% certain that the Insect Plate is somewhere around here." Arceus defended.

"And exactly where is here?" Ash asked.

"Floraroma Town, a small town of around 30 people, mostly known for it's beautiful flowers and rich honey that is harvested here." Arceus said.

"Okay, was not expecting a demographic lesson on them, but no matter, what we need to focus on right now is finding the Insect Plate and recovering it." Ash said. "I'll take Charizard into the air and look around, see if I can find any giant people rampaging outside the city."

"Wait Ashton, I can sense them, they are to the north." Arceus said.

"The North, that's great, let's go." Ash said, running to the north end of town.

"Who would have thought saving the multiverse would involve so much running." Arceus said, running after Ash and Pikachu.

Arceus finally caught up to Ash only to see he was in a battle, his Heracross fighting one much larger than him.

"Heracross use Aerial Ace!" Ash called out.

"Heracross use Stone Edge!" His opponent called out.

"Ashton, who is this?" Arceus asked.

"Not a clue, but look at his battle style, if he doesn't have the Insect Plate, I don't know who does." Ash said, looking at the boy with green hair in a black tank top and orange pants.

"Heracross use Horn Attack!" Ash called out.

"Heracross use Mega Horn!"

The two Heracross locked horns, trying to flip the other into the air.

"Now Heracross use Brick Break!" Ash called out.

Ash's Heracross slammed his arm into the gut of the other trainers Heracross, launching them into the air with ease before it scattered onto the ground.

"I suppose you were right about your guess on him holding the plate, but why isn't he affected like the others?" Arceus asked.

"They're your plates, not mine, I don't know how they work, you tell me." Ash said.

"YANMEGA COME OUT!" The other trainer buzzed.

"Pikachu you've got this!" Ash called out.

"Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed leaping off of Ash's shoulder with a Quick Attack and slamming into the YANMEGA.

"Hey Arceus, I could really use a typing on this thing." Ash reminded.

"Right of course, it's a Bug and Flying type." Arceus said.

"So what are the chance that a bug type trainer found the bug type plate?" Ash questioned.

"You're the human you tell me." Arceus quipped.

"Fair enough." Ash said. "Pikachu use Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu sent out a bolt of electricity that shot straight through the Yanmega, causing it to stutter for a moment before launching towards Pikachu with incredible speed, before being replaced by a Scizor.

"Okay, wasn't expecting that. Pikachu use Thunderbolt again!" Ash called out.

Pikachu sent out another bolt of electricity, coursing through Scizor's metallic body before it launched head first at the electric type, sending him flying back.

"Take five Pikachu, we've got someone who can handle any bug they throw at us. Charizard use Flamethrower!" Ash said, sending out Charizard.

"Scizor use Iron Head!"

Charizard flew out of his Pokeball, letting out a stream of flames that blazed around Scizor, before the bug type launched forward, headfirst at Charizard, knocking the fire type back a few feet.

"Charizard let loose another Flamethrower!"

"Scizor use Night Slash!"

Charizard poured on the flames, engulfing Scizor completely before it disappeared in defeat.

"Yanmega use Bug Buzz!" The trainer buzzed.

"Charizard use Flamethrower!"

Charizard flew out of the way of the strange energy waves, letting loose another stream of flames down on the Yanmega.

"Charizard use Air Slash!"

"Yanmega use Air Slash!" The other trainer commanded.

The two Pokémon took to the skies slashing at each other with their wings until Yanmega was launched backwards and came tumbling to the ground in defeat, scattering into the wind.

"Come on that plate has to be coming up now." Ash said.

"Come on out Drapion!"

"Another bug, too easy. Charizard use Flamethrower!"

"Ashton wait!" Arceus called out.

"Drapion use Cross Poison!"

The flames did little before Charizard was struck by the poisonous attack.

"Drapion is a Poison and Dark type Pokémon, not a bug type." Arceus said.

"And it still has the Insect Plate, that's enough for me. Charizard use Seismic Toss!"

"Drapion use Ice Fang!"

Charizard grabbed Drapion and flew up into the air with them before Drapion bit down on his arm, causing Charizard to drop the poison type, crashing back to the ground.

"Charizard return!" Ash called out. "Pikachu, use Volt Tackle!"

Pikachu raced forward, coated in electricity before slamming into Drapion, causing both him and his trainer to shudder.

"Drapion has the Plate, keep it going with an Iron Tail!" Ash exclaimed.

"Use X-Scissor!" The trainer called out.

Pikachu repeatedly slammed his tail against Drapion's claws, pushing him back bit by bit until finally toppling the terrifying toxic titan. Drapion's body dispersed as well as his trainers leaving behind only a light green plate in their place.

"And that makes three." Ash said. "Great work guys."
