In a dimly lit underground lair, the group of villains, led by Giovanni, gathered to discuss their recent successes in causing chaos across the Pokémon world. The atmosphere was tense, with each member of the group feeling a mixture of excitement and anticipation.

Archie, known for his obsession with the sea and legendary Pokémon, voiced his curiosity about the lack of intervention from Arceus, the legendary Pokémon said to be the creator of the Pokémon world.

"Doesn't it strike anyone else as odd that Arceus hasn't intervened yet? We've caused so much chaos and havoc by skyrocketing the amount of theft, robberies, rape, terrorism, kidnappings, cybercrimes due to Ogerpon's darkness, yet not a peep from the supposed deity of this world," Archie pondered aloud, looking around at his fellow villains.

Giovanni, the enigmatic leader of Team Rocket, leaned back in his chair, a sly smile crossing his face. "Perhaps Arceus is simply watching, amused by our endeavors. After all, chaos and disorder are part of human nature. Maybe Arceus is content to see what we can achieve."

Maxie, the leader of Team Magma, chimed in, "Regardless of Arceus's involvement, our plans are progressing smoothly. We have managed to capture powerful Pokémon and amass significant resources. Our influence over the regions is growing steadily."

Archie nodded in agreement, "Indeed, and our increased power will allow us to control the world in ways never before imagined. We'll bend it to our will and shape it to suit our desires."

Cyrus, the enigmatic leader of Team Galactic, interjected with his cold, calculated tone, "The chaos we create serves a greater purpose. It is a means to an end – a world without spirit, emotion, or the illogical whims of humanity. A perfect world, as I envisioned it."

Ghetsis, the manipulative leader of Team Plasma, added, "Yes, and in this perfect world, Pokémon will no longer be enslaved by humans. They will be free, and I will be the one to liberate them."

Lysandre, the charismatic leader of Team Flare, spoke with a sense of conviction, "And in this new world, beauty will be preserved and cherished. All that is ugly and impure will be eliminated, and only the chosen few will inherit this glorious future."

As the villains each expressed their ambitions, Hunter J, the ruthless Pokémon hunter, smirked, "All this talk is fascinating, but let's not forget the practical side of things. The more chaos we sow, the more valuable our services become. I'll be the one to capture all those rare and powerful Pokémon you desire."

Guzma, the hot-headed leader of Team Skull, grinned, "Yeah, and I'll be takin' on anyone who stands in our way. Ain't nobody gonna mess with Team Skull!"

Lusamine, the leader of the Aether Foundation, chimed in with a hint of madness in her eyes, "In this chaotic world, the Ultra Beasts will thrive, and I will be their caretaker, their queen."

Rose, the charismatic chairman of Macro Cosmos, spoke with a sense of ambition, "With chaos reigning, Galar will bow to the power of Eternatus. I will be the one to control its might."

Their plans were dark and divergent, but one thing united them all – a desire for power and control over the Pokémon world. Each villain believed their vision of the future to be the right one, and they were willing to go to any lengths to achieve it.

Iris smirked "I will be the one to become the Champion Master. I do not care how I become one. By hook or crook, I will become one. And when I lead the world, I will let you all to ravage the world."

Iris's ambitious statement drew a mix of intrigued glances and smirks from the other villains in the room. Giovanni, always one to appreciate cunning and ruthlessness, leaned forward with interest.

"Well, well, Iris," Giovanni said with a chuckle, "I admire your determination. Becoming the Champion Master would indeed grant you a great deal of influence and authority. It could open up numerous opportunities for us to further our goals."

Maxie raised an eyebrow, studying Iris carefully. "But becoming the Champion Master is no easy task," he remarked. "There are formidable Trainers out there, and the current Champions of each region won't give up their titles easily."

Iris grinned confidently, her eyes gleaming with ambition. "I know it won't be easy, but I relish the challenge," she replied. "I have powerful Pokémon at my disposal, and with our combined forces, I believe we can pave the way for me to claim the title of Champion Master."

Cyrus, typically stoic and composed, spoke up in his emotionless tone, "Becoming the Champion Master aligns with our goals of reshaping the world according to our desires. It could serve as a potent symbol of our dominance."

Ghetsis nodded in agreement, "Indeed, having one of our own as the Champion Master would send a clear message to the world that we are the ones in control. It would sow further discord and confusion among the masses."

Lysandre, who had an obsession with beauty and perfection, added, "With you as the Champion Master, Iris, we could bring beauty to new heights. A reign of beauty unmarred by the chaos we create would be a truly captivating sight."

Hunter J chimed in, her eyes gleaming with greed, "And think of all the rare and powerful Pokémon you could obtain as the Champion Master. They would make you an even more formidable force."

Iris nodded, pleased with the support she was receiving. "I appreciate your confidence in me," she said, "but I will need your assistance to achieve this goal. Together, we can manipulate events, create distractions, and even eliminate potential threats."

Guzma smirked, "You got it, Iris! Team Skull's got your back. Ain't nobody gonna stand a chance against us!"

Lusamine's gaze shifted to her Ultra Beasts, a wicked smile on her face. "And the Ultra Beasts will ensure that chaos engulfs those who dare oppose us," she declared.

Rose, the ambitious chairman, spoke up, "It's settled then. We shall support Iris's quest to become the Champion Master. In doing so, we shall unleash chaos upon the world, and it will be ripe for us to harvest."

As the villains solidified their plan to aid Iris in becoming the Champion Master, the underground lair reverberated with a sense of unity and purpose. Each member of the Iris clique knew their roles and responsibilities in furthering their shared ambitions.

Little did the rest of the Pokémon world know that the chaos they had experienced so far was just the beginning. With Iris and the other villains working together, the darkness would spread even further, and the consequences would be dire for all.

Iris sneered "We are going to kidnap the so called heroes like Ash, Lance, and Leon. They will then lose the competition on getting disqualified for not being present for their battles on time. We will kidnap the sex slaves of the heroes like Ash's sex slaves Misty, Elesa, Lillie, Cynthia, and Skyla, Lance's sex slave, and Leon's sex slave so no one who cares about them would be there."

Maxie chuckled "Some colorful vocabulary you have there, Iris, you refer to their so called partners as sex slaves."

Lusamine nodded "I will teach Lillie manners on how she should not disobey her mother. I am her mom and she opposes my plans which is wrong."

As Iris continued to lay out her sinister plans, the other villains listened intently, their eyes gleaming with a mix of excitement and approval. Lusamine, in particular, seemed delighted with the prospect of teaching her daughter, Lillie, a harsh lesson.

Giovanni, always one to appreciate cunning strategies, chimed in, "Kidnapping the heroes and their partners will indeed disrupt their plans and weaken their defenses. It's a brilliant move, Iris."

Maxie nodded in agreement, "Indeed, by removing their most trusted allies, we'll leave them vulnerable and exposed. Their power and influence will crumble."

Cyrus, ever the enigmatic strategist, added, "It will sow further chaos and confusion among the heroes and the regions they represent. Their unity will be shattered, and they'll be left scrambling to counter our moves."

Ghetsis, with his manipulative nature, grinned, "And think of the emotional toll it will take on the heroes. Their sense of responsibility and duty will be clouded by their concern for their kidnapped partners."

Lysandre, with his fixation on beauty and perfection, mused, "Yes, and without their partners by their side, they will be unable to showcase the perfect image they desire to present to the world. Their flaws will be exposed."

Hunter J, the ruthless Pokémon hunter, added with a sly smile, "And while they're busy trying to rescue their partners, they'll be too distracted to stop us from advancing our plans."

Iris, satisfied with the support she received, continued, "Exactly. With the heroes in disarray, and their partners under our control, the path to becoming the Champion Master will be much smoother. We'll seize the opportunity to strike when they least expect it."

Lusamine, eager to assert her authority as a mother, spoke with a sense of malice, "As for my daughter Lillie, she needs to understand that opposing my plans is unacceptable. I will show her that she must obey her mother's wishes, no matter how grand her aspirations may be."

Guzma, the hot-headed leader of Team Skull, laughed, "Sounds like a solid plan to me! And with Team Skull's flair for causing trouble, we'll keep those heroes on their toes!"

Rose, the ambitious chairman, spoke with confidence, "Once the heroes are weakened and divided, we'll unleash Eternatus upon Galar. With its power under our control, none will be able to challenge us."

The villains' eyes glittered with determination and anticipation as they plotted the downfall of the heroes and the rise of chaos. The Pokémon world would soon be plunged into an unprecedented era of darkness, and the heroes would face challenges unlike any they had encountered before.

Cyrus presented his data "Ash, Misty, Elesa, Lillie, Hau, Hala, Skyla, Kukui, Burnet, Olivia, Lance, Cynthia, Leon, Roxanne, Flannery, Brawly, Flint, Volkner, Viola, Wulfric, Raihan, and Mustard are the only strong trainers who oppose us and oppose Ogerpon's darkness while all other strong trainers are influenced by Ogerpon's darkness. We need to kidnap them all."

As Cyrus presented his data on the formidable trainers who opposed the villains and their connection to Ogerpon's darkness, the atmosphere in the underground lair grew more charged with anticipation. The villains understood the gravity of the task at hand – kidnapping all these strong trainers would be no easy feat.

Giovanni, the cunning leader of Team Rocket, stroked his chin in thought. "Kidnapping such a large group of powerful trainers will require precise planning and impeccable timing," he said. "We must strike when they least expect it and catch them off guard."

Maxie, the leader of Team Magma, nodded in agreement. "Yes, and we'll need to be strategic in our approach," he added. "Divide and conquer. If we try to take them all on at once, we'll be overwhelmed."

Archie, known for his obsession with legendary Pokémon, grinned mischievously. "Perhaps we could lure them into traps with the promise of rare and powerful Pokémon," he suggested. "Once they are within our grasp, we can incapacitate them and take them one by one."

Ghetsis, with his manipulative nature, spoke with a sly tone, "We could also exploit their emotional connections. For example, using Ash's strong bond with his Pokémon to lure him into a vulnerable position."

Lysandre, with his fixation on beauty and perfection, offered another idea. "We can create illusions that cater to their desires, making them believe they are getting closer to achieving their dreams," he proposed. "In reality, they will be walking right into our trap."

Hunter J, the ruthless Pokémon hunter, smirked. "I could offer my 'services' as a means to get close to them," she said. "Once they let their guard down, I'll have them at my mercy."

As the villains brainstormed their strategies, Iris, the ambitious leader of the Iris clique, listened intently. "These are all excellent ideas," she said. "But remember, we must be cautious. These trainers are not to be underestimated. They have faced challenges and adversaries before, and they will not go down without a fight."

Lusamine, the leader of the Aether Foundation, spoke with a wicked glint in her eyes, "And once we have them captured, we can use our resources to break their spirits and force them to comply with our demands."

Rose, the charismatic chairman of Macro Cosmos, nodded in agreement. "Yes, we'll need to keep them isolated and ensure they cannot call for help," he said. "Once they are in our custody, they will be at our mercy."

Guzma, the hot-headed leader of Team Skull, chimed in with enthusiasm, "And if anyone tries to interfere, they'll have to go through Team Skull first!"

Iris nodded "So this is my plan, Rose would kindap Sonia, and Leon, Raihan, and Mustard would search for her which would lead to Hunter J's trap who would seize their powerful Pokemons. Cyrus would send fake messages looking like they came from Ash to Roxanne, Flannery, and Viola who would then be lured into a desolate area where they would be kidnapped. Then Wulfric and Brawly would search for them and they would also reach the desolate area where they would be kidnapped. Lusamine would use Ash's illusions to lure Misty, Elesa, Lillie, Skyla, and Cynthia to Ultra Deep Sea where they would be kidnapped and to search them, Ash, Hau, Hala, Kukui, Burnet, Olivia, Flint, and Volkner would be lured to Ultra Desert where Giovanni would deal with them. Lysandre would lure Drasna to a trap and then Lance would follow her to the trap and both would then get captured."

As Iris laid out her elaborate plan, the other villains listened intently, nodding in approval of the complexity and deviousness it entailed. Each member of the Iris clique had a specific role to play, and the traps were carefully designed to exploit the weaknesses and emotions of their targets.

Giovanni, intrigued by the level of coordination in the plan, spoke with a nod of approval, "It's a well-thought-out strategy. We'll divide and conquer, ensuring that each target is isolated and vulnerable. Once they are captured, their resistance will crumble."

Maxie, impressed by the level of manipulation involved, added, "Using their emotional bonds against them is brilliant. It will cloud their judgment and make them easier to control."

Archie, known for his love of legendary Pokémon, grinned, "And with their powerful Pokémon out of the picture, we'll be one step closer to achieving our goals."

Ghetsis, with his manipulative nature, spoke with a hint of malice, "It will also serve as a powerful message to anyone else who dares to oppose us. No one is safe from our reach."

Lysandre, who admired beauty and perfection, found satisfaction in the plan's elegance. "Indeed, a well-executed plan is a work of art," he mused. "Their flaws will be exposed, and they will be left with no choice but to submit to our authority."

Hunter J, the ruthless Pokémon hunter, grinned, "And with their powerful Pokémon under my control, I'll become an even more formidable force."

Lusamine, eager to assert her authority as a mother, spoke with a sense of malice, "And my daughter Lillie will learn the consequences of opposing me. She will come to understand that my plans are for her own good."

Rose, the ambitious chairman, spoke with confidence, "Once these trainers are in our custody, we'll extract any information we need from them. Their secrets will be ours to use as we see fit."

As the villains continued to discuss the intricacies of the plan, Iris's eyes gleamed with ambition. "This is just the beginning," she said. "Once we have these trainers captured, we'll send a message to the world – a message that resistance is futile, and chaos reigns."

Guzma, the hot-headed leader of Team Skull, chimed in, "Yeah, and with Team Skull causing trouble on the side, no one will dare oppose us!"

Cyrus, the enigmatic strategist, offered his support, "Indeed, this plan will strike fear into the hearts of those who dare to stand against us. They will see the futility of their efforts and succumb to the darkness."

With their plan set in motion, the villains felt a sense of unity and purpose. They knew that the road ahead would be filled with challenges and opposition, but they were determined to see their ambitions come to fruition.

Leon had taken part in the fifth round or Top 32 battle that he won and he returned to his room in the Galar Gym Leaders and Champion quarters only to see that his partner Sonia is missing with letter that read.

"Leon,

We have kidnapped Sonia to teach you a lesson. Come to save her if you want her to be free.

Rose"

Leon then saw Raihan and Mustard rush to his room and Raihan spoke "We have also got a letter from Rose that Sonia was kidnapped and to come to save her if we want her to be free."

As Leon read the letter from Rose, his heart pounded with worry and anger. The thought of Sonia being in danger filled him with a fierce determination to rescue her at all costs.

Raihan and Mustard, who had also received similar letters, exchanged concerned glances. Raihan spoke with a mix of urgency and resolve, "We can't let Rose get away with this. We have to find Sonia and bring her back safely."

Mustard, the former Champion and one of Galar's most experienced trainers, nodded in agreement, "I'm with you both. We'll track down Rose and put an end to his schemes."

As the trio prepared to leave, they were joined by the Gym Leaders, who had heard of the kidnapping and were eager to assist. Nessa, the Water-type Gym Leader, spoke with determination, "We won't let Rose get away with this. We're all in this together."

Gordie, the Rock-type Gym Leader, added, "That's right. We'll show him that he can't mess with us or our friends."

Melony, the Ice-type Gym Leader, chimed in, "We'll use our strength as Gym Leaders to bring Sonia back safely."

Opal, the Fairy-type Gym Leader, offered a cryptic smile, "The stars have foretold a difficult journey ahead, but fear not. Together, we shall overcome."

Piers, the Dark-type Gym Leader, who had been a part of the Iris clique but now had a change of heart, said with sincerity, "I regret what I've done in the past, but I won't let it stop me from doing the right thing now. Let's save Sonia."

Marnie, Piers' younger sister and a skilled trainer in her own right, added, "And Team Yell's got your back too, Leon."

With their resolve strengthened by the support of their friends and allies, Leon, Raihan, Mustard, and the Gym Leaders set off on their quest to rescue Sonia from Rose's clutches. They knew it wouldn't be an easy task, but they were prepared to face any challenges that awaited them.

Meanwhile, back at the underground lair of the Iris clique, Rose reveled in his success. He knew that capturing Sonia would draw Leon and the others into his trap, and he relished the thought of breaking their spirits and asserting his dominance.

Lusamine, who had a personal vendetta against Sonia for opposing her plans, smirked, "I'm looking forward to seeing the look on her face when she realizes her beloved Leon is powerless to save her."

Giovanni, ever the cunning strategist, spoke with a note of caution, "We mustn't underestimate them. They are formidable opponents, and they have the strength of their bonds to draw upon."

Lysandre, with his fixation on beauty and perfection, added, "Yes, their unity and determination are their greatest assets. We must dismantle that unity if we are to succeed."

Hunter J, the ruthless Pokémon hunter, grinned, "Well, it won't be long before they come looking for us. And when they do, they'll be walking right into our trap."

As Rose and the villains gloated over their sinister plans, little did they know that the heroes were not alone in their fight. Across the Pokémon world, trainers, Pokémon, and allies were rallying together, ready to stand up against the darkness that threatened to engulf their world.

Back in Galar, Leon, Raihan, Mustard, and the Gym Leaders followed the clues left behind by Rose, each step taking them closer to their destination. The journey was filled with challenges and obstacles, but they pressed on, fueled by the desire to bring Sonia home safely.

As they reached the final destination, a desolate and remote area, they braced themselves for what lay ahead. With determination in their hearts and their Pokémon by their side, they prepared to confront the villains and rescue Sonia from their clutches.

Roxanne, Flannery, and Viola saw messages which said "I love you, come to Haina Desert. I have something special." which looked like it came from Ash.

Roxanne, Flannery, and Viola, all powerful Gym Leaders and close friends, stood together, contemplating the mysterious messages they had received. Despite their suspicions about the location, the allure of the messages being from Ash compelled them to consider the journey.

"Haina Desert is known for its harsh conditions and remote location," Roxanne said, her analytical mind processing the situation. "It's not a place we'd typically go, but if it truly is Ash sending these messages, then there must be a reason he wants us there."

Flannery nodded in agreement, her fiery spirit eager for action. "Ash wouldn't ask us to come without a good reason. If he needs our help or if there's something important, we should head there immediately."

Viola, the Bug-type specialist, added, "And it could be a trap. But we can't let fear hold us back. If Ash is in trouble or needs us, we must go."

With their minds made up, the trio set off for Haina Desert, determined to find out the truth behind the mysterious messages. As they ventured deeper into the arid wilderness, the desolation of the area became more evident, with sand dunes stretching as far as the eye could see.

As they walked, Flannery's concern grew, "It's eerily quiet here. Be on your guard, both of you. We don't know what awaits us."

Roxanne nodded, her eyes scanning the horizon, "Agreed. Keep your Pokémon ready, just in case."

As they continued their trek, the scorching sun beat down on them, but they pressed on, driven by the urgency of the situation. Suddenly, they heard a faint cry for help in the distance, and without hesitation, they rushed towards the source.

In a small clearing, they found a distressed Pokémon Trainer surrounded by a group of hostile Pokémon. Flannery recognized the Trainer instantly, "It's Brawly!"

Viola frowned, "What is he doing here? And why are those Pokémon attacking him?"

Roxanne's instincts kicked in, "It must be a trap. We need to help him."

Together, the three Gym Leaders battled the hostile Pokémon, their skills and teamwork proving formidable. As the dust settled, Brawly stood before them, visibly relieved.

"Thanks for coming, you three," Brawly said with gratitude. "I'm not sure how Ash's name was used to lure you here, but it seems like we were both drawn into this trap."

Flannery looked around, "Where is Ash?"

Brawly's expression darkened, "I'm not sure. We were separated during the chaos of the ambush. I thought I heard him calling for help, but now I'm not so sure."

Viola's heart sank, "We need to find him. This is exactly what the villains wanted – to divide us and weaken our defenses."

Roxanne nodded, "Agreed. Let's regroup and devise a plan to find Ash and the others."

With their determination renewed, the group quickly came up with a strategy to search for their missing friends. Flannery and Viola would head in one direction, while Roxanne and Brawly went in another. They would keep in constant communication and rendezvous at specific intervals.

As Flannery and Viola scoured the desert, they encountered various challenges and traps set by the villains. Yet, they pressed on, not allowing the obstacles to deter them. With their trust in each other and their strong Pokémon, they fought their way through the adversity.

Meanwhile, Roxanne and Brawly faced their own set of trials, working together to overcome the cunning traps set by their adversaries. The villains had clearly anticipated their moves, making the task even more arduous.

As the hours passed, the group's determination remained unyielding. They communicated with each other regularly, sharing any clues or findings they discovered. Slowly, they pieced together a trail that led to the heart of the villains' lair.

The heroes' rescue mission was far from over, and the villains were not about to relinquish their captives easily. As they delved deeper into the lair, they would encounter even more challenges, tests of their bonds and determination.

But they knew that the only way to overcome the darkness was by standing united. For every step they took, they were one step closer to rescuing their friends and thwarting the villains' plans. Soon they came across Wulfric who was battling some powerful Pokemons.

As Misty, Elesa, Lillie, Skyla, and Cynthia witnessed what appeared to be Ash entering an Ultra Wormhole and reaching Ultra Deep Sea, their hearts filled with concern and determination. They knew that Ash could be in grave danger, and they were not about to let their friend and ally face it alone.

Misty, with her fiery spirit, spoke first, "We have to follow him! Ash might be in trouble, and we can't just stand by and do nothing."

Elesa, the fashionable Electric-type Pokémon trainer, nodded in agreement, "You're right. We have faced challenges together before, and this time won't be any different. Let's go after him."

Lillie, who had grown so much since her days with Nebby, spoke with determination, "I won't let anyone harm Ash or his Pokémon. We have to protect him, just like he has always protected us."

Skyla, the high-flying pilot, added with a reassuring smile, "We're in this together. We'll find Ash and bring him back safely."

Cynthia, the experienced Sinnoh Champion, spoke with a sense of responsibility, "As a Champion, it is my duty to protect the trainers of my region. I won't let any harm come to Ash."

Without hesitation, the group of determined trainers rushed towards the Ultra Wormhole, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. They trusted their abilities and the bond they shared with their Pokémon, knowing that it would carry them through any adversity.

As they entered the Ultra Wormhole, they found themselves in the mysterious and otherworldly Ultra Deep Sea. The environment was unlike anything they had ever seen – vast expanses of dark water with strange and mesmerizing lights glimmering in the depths.

Misty's heart raced with worry for Ash, "We have to find him quickly. Who knows what dangers might be lurking in this place?"

Elesa scanned the surroundings with her keen eyes, "We should split up into smaller groups. It will increase our chances of finding him."

Lillie nodded, "That's a good idea. Skyla, Cynthia, and I will go in one direction, and Misty and Elesa can go in another."

Skyla agreed, "Be careful, everyone. The Ultra Deep Sea is full of unknowns."

As they split into two groups, Misty and Elesa ventured deeper into the Ultra Deep Sea, their Pokémon at their side, ready for whatever challenges they might encounter. The water was eerily silent, with only the occasional glimmers of light illuminating the darkness.

Misty's Starmie and Elesa's Zebstrika swam alongside their trainers, providing both light and protection. They knew that their trainers were determined to find Ash, and they were ready to assist in any way they could.

After what felt like an eternity of searching, Misty and Elesa spotted a familiar figure in the distance. It was what appeared to be Ash and soon they realized that it was an illusion.

Meanwhile, Ash, Hau, Hala, Kukui, Burnet, Olivia, Flint, and Volkner got a message while they were searching for Misty, Elesa, Lillie, Skyla, and Cynthia who went missing.

"If you want to see Misty, Elesa, Lillie, Skyla, and Cynthia, come to Ultra Desert.

Giovanni."

Ash spoke "We will use Solgaleo to create an Ultra Wormhole and reach Ultra Desert."

As Ash, Hau, Hala, Kukui, Burnet, Olivia, Flint, and Volkner received the mysterious message about Misty, Elesa, Lillie, Skyla, and Cynthia, they felt a mix of worry and determination. Without hesitation, they knew they had to follow the message's instructions and head to Ultra Desert to rescue their friends.

With the help of Solgaleo, the Legendary Pokémon that Ash had formed a strong bond with, they created an Ultra Wormhole that would lead them to the Ultra Desert. The group stepped through the portal, their hearts filled with determination to bring their friends back safely.

As they arrived in the Ultra Desert, they were greeted by an eerie and desolate landscape. The sun beat down relentlessly, and the heat was almost unbearable. But Ash and his companions pushed forward, undeterred by the harsh conditions.

Their Pokémon, sensing the urgency of the situation, remained close by, ready to assist their trainers in any way they could. Solgaleo's presence was particularly comforting, as its strength and guidance gave them hope that they could overcome any challenge.

As they ventured further into the desert, they encountered strange illusions, designed to lead them astray and confuse their senses. Hala, the wise Kahuna, spoke with a steady voice, "Stay focused, everyone. These illusions are meant to distract us. We must rely on our instincts and trust each other."

Kukui, ever the observant Professor, added, "Indeed. We can't let these illusions break our resolve. We have to find our friends and put an end to this madness."

Flint, the fiery Elite Four member, grinned confidently, "Let's show 'em what we're made of! No illusion can stop us!"

As they pressed forward, the illusions grew stronger and more elaborate, testing their determination. But Ash and his companions stayed together, supporting and encouraging one another through the challenges.

Finally, at the heart of the desert, they encountered Giovanni, the cunning leader of Team Rocket. He stood with a wicked smile, flanked by members of the Iris clique, who had captured Misty, Elesa, Lillie, Skyla, and Cynthia.

Drasna was walking in the streets of Malie City in Alola and soon she came to a desolate area. Drasna then saw Lysandre who spoke "Wait for Lance to arrive. You two will be captured together."

Drasna, a member of the Elite Four known for her expertise in Dragon-type Pokémon, was taken aback by the unexpected encounter with Lysandre in the desolate area of Malie City. Her keen intuition immediately sensed danger, and she tightened her grip on her Poké Balls, ready to defend herself.

"Lysandre," she said, her voice steady, "what is the meaning of this? What do you hope to achieve by capturing Lance and me?"

Lysandre, with his signature air of calm confidence, stepped closer to Drasna. "Oh, it's simple, my dear Elite Four member," he replied, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "Your capture will serve as a message to the world – a message that resistance against us is futile."

Drasna narrowed her eyes, her Dragon-type Pokémon alert and ready to battle at her side. "You won't get away with this," she warned. "Lance will come looking for me, and together, we will stand against your darkness."

Lysandre chuckled darkly, "Ah, the heroics of the so-called champions. It won't matter. We have orchestrated a plan that will divide and weaken them all. They will be too preoccupied to save you."

Before Drasna could respond, the ground rumbled, and the powerful figure of Lance, the Dragon-type Pokémon Master and Champion of the Pokémon League, emerged from behind a nearby building.

"I heard enough to know something was amiss," Lance declared, his voice commanding. He fixed his intense gaze on Lysandre, "Release Drasna immediately. Your plans won't succeed."

Lysandre's smile widened, seemingly undeterred by Lance's appearance. "Ah, Lance, just in time," he said with an air of mock courtesy. "You see, your friend Drasna is about to become a part of our grand design."

Lance's expression hardened, his bond with Drasna pushing him to act. "I won't allow that," he replied firmly. "You may have gathered an alliance of villains, but I won't let your darkness consume this world."

Lysandre's demeanor remained calm, "You're free to try, but your attempts will be in vain." With a snap of his fingers, his henchmen emerged from the shadows, surrounding Lance and Drasna.

Iris, Giovanni, Maxie, Archie, Cyrus, Ghetsis, Lysandre, Hunter J, Guzma, Lusamine, and Rose succeeded in capturing Ash, Misty, Elesa, Lillie, Hau, Hala, Skyla, Kukui, Burnet, Olivia, Lance, Cynthia, Leon, Roxanne, Flannery, Brawly, Flint, Volkner, Viola, Wulfric, Raihan, and Mustard and due to that, Ash, Misty, Elesa, Leon, Cynthia, Lance, who were in the Top 16 in the Pokemon World Tournament were disquaified and the rest who were Iris clique members took part and Iris emerged as the winner with the title of Champion Master.

Iris, now the Champion Master, stood proudly at the pinnacle of power, her eyes glinting with triumph. "This victory is just the beginning," she declared to her fellow villains. "With the heroes out of the picture, we are now the rulers of this world."

Giovanni, always the opportunist, spoke with a sly smile, "Indeed. The regions are in disarray, and the people are filled with fear and uncertainty. They will turn to us for guidance, for stability."

Maxie, the leader of Team Magma, added, "And with the heroes captured, their spirits broken, we can bend them to our will. They will be forced to serve our ambitions."

Archie, known for his love of legendary Pokémon, chimed in, "And with the power of the legendaries under our control, none will dare to oppose us."

Cyrus, with his emotionless demeanor, spoke with a calculated tone, "We now possess the power to reshape the world according to our desires. A new era of order and control is upon us."

Ghetsis, the manipulative leader of Team Plasma, grinned, "And the people will welcome it. They will see us as their saviors, their leaders."

Lysandre, who admired beauty and perfection, added, "Yes, they will see the beauty in our vision. The chaos we created was just a means to an end."

Hunter J, the ruthless Pokémon hunter, laughed, "And now we are at the top of the food chain. No one will be able to stop us."

Lusamine, eager to assert her authority as a mother, spoke with a sense of malice, "And my daughter Lillie will learn her place. She will obey her mother's wishes, as she should."

Rose, the ambitious chairman, spoke with confidence, "With Iris as the Champion Master, we have a figurehead to rally the people behind our cause."

As the villains celebrated their triumph, a dark cloud loomed over the Pokémon world. The people were filled with fear and uncertainty as the villains tightened their grip on power. The regions were under their control, and their ambitions knew no bounds.

Meanwhile, the captured heroes, including Ash, Misty, Leon, Cynthia, and the others, were held captive in various locations, their spirits broken and their hope fading. They were powerless to stop the villains, and each day was a struggle to resist the darkness that surrounded them.

Unbeknownst to the villains, a glimmer of hope still remained. Within the hearts of the heroes and their allies, a spark of resistance was slowly growing. They knew that they had to come together, to find a way to break free and stop the villains' reign of terror.

Lance, one of the captured heroes, whispered words of encouragement to his fellow captives, "We must not lose hope. The world needs us to stand strong and fight back. Together, we can overcome this darkness."

Cynthia, another hero held prisoner, nodded with determination, "You're right, Lance. We cannot give up. We'll find a way to escape and stop them."

Meanwhile, Lusamine called Lillie "Lillie, come to us all!" Lillie came to the gathering of Iris, Giovanni, Maxie, Archie, Cyrus, Ghetsis, Lysandre, Hunter J, Guzma, Lusamine, and Rose.

Lillie approached the gathering of villains, her heart heavy with conflicting emotions. She had always looked up to her mother, Lusamine, but seeing her now, consumed by darkness and malice, filled her with sadness and fear.

Lusamine looked at her daughter with a cold gaze, "Lillie, it's time for you to embrace your destiny. Join us, and together, we can reshape the world as it should be."

Lillie hesitated, torn between her loyalty to her mother and her own sense of right and wrong. "But...this isn't right," she whispered. "What you're doing, it's causing so much pain and suffering. The Pokémon world doesn't need more chaos."

Iris, the new Champion Master, looked at Lillie with a mix of curiosity and amusement. "Your mother is right, Lillie. We hold the power now. Join us, and you can have everything you've ever dreamed of."

Giovanni, the cunning leader of Team Rocket, stepped forward. "Think of the influence you'll have," he said. "With your mother and the rest of us by your side, you could be unstoppable."

Lillie shook her head, her resolve strengthening. "No, I won't be a part of this. I won't let you hurt innocent Pokémon and people. I won't let you destroy everything that we hold dear."

Cyrus, always logical and composed, spoke in his emotionless tone, "You may not understand now, Lillie, but this world is flawed. Chaos is inevitable. We seek to create a new order, free from the unpredictability of emotions."

Lysandre, who admired beauty and perfection, tried to reason with her, "Lillie, can't you see the beauty in our vision? A world where only the chosen few can thrive, free from imperfections."

Hunter J, the ruthless Pokémon hunter, scoffed, "Beauty is all well and good, but power is what matters. And with us, you can have both."

Lillie looked at each villain in turn, her heart heavy with conflict. She couldn't deny the allure of power and the promise of a world free from pain, but she knew deep down that their methods were wrong.

Guzma, the hot-headed leader of Team Skull, chimed in, "Look, we ain't got time for this. Either join us or get out of the way."

Gladion then walked and saw Lillie. Gladion then spoke in a despondent manner "Lillie, you still support that guy Ash who kept you as his side piece while he enjoyed being with his main partner Elesa? Ash deserves to rot in a prison along with Elesa for treating you in such a way."

Lusamine smiled "Ah Gladion, my dear son! You will be the heir to the dark world ruled by Ogerpon's darkness. Giovanni's son Silver is opposed to Ogerpon's darkness and is rotting in a prison in Johto, Goh who is Hunter J's apprentice and is still learning the tricks and trades but he would accept you as the future leader, and we all have decided that you are the future as Lillie is refusing to listen to us. If she listens, she will be given a junior role but for now, that is on hold."

Gladion gave out an evil laugh "Yes, I will finally rule the world with Ogerpon and Ogerpon's darkness."

Gladion's words sent a chill through Lillie's heart. She had always admired her older brother, but seeing him now, embracing the darkness alongside their mother and the other villains, was a painful sight to behold.

"Lillie, you should listen to Gladion," Lusamine urged, her tone filled with malice. "He understands the truth of this world, the necessity of power. Join us, and together, we will create a world where you no longer have to suffer."

Gladion looked at Lillie, his eyes cold and determined. "You always were the favored one," he said bitterly. "But now, it's time for me to step out of your shadow. I will embrace the power that Ogerpon's darkness offers, and I will no longer be in your shadow."

Lillie's heart ached with sadness. She knew that deep down, Gladion had always felt overshadowed by her and their mother's attention toward her. But this wasn't the future she wanted for her brother or herself.

As the villains looked on, waiting for Lillie's decision, she took a deep breath, trying to find the strength within herself to resist their allure.

"No, I can't join you," she said firmly, her voice wavering slightly. "I can't stand by and watch you destroy everything that is good and pure in this world. I may not have all the answers, but I know that this path is wrong."

Lusamine's expression hardened, and she spoke with a tone of authority, "Then you leave us no choice, Lillie. If you won't stand with us, you'll stand against us."

Guzma, the hot-headed leader of Team Skull, smirked, "If you're not with us, you're against us, and that means you're our enemy."

Gladion's face softened for a moment, but the darkness in his eyes quickly returned. "You're making a mistake, Lillie," he said, almost pleadingly. "This world is not as kind as you believe it to be. Embrace the darkness, and you'll find strength and power beyond your wildest dreams."

Lillie took a step back, her heart torn between her family and her convictions. But deep down, she knew what she had to do.

"I won't embrace the darkness," she said, her voice trembling with emotion. "I'll fight against it, even if it means standing alone."

As she spoke, a newfound resolve filled her. She may not have the power or influence of the villains, but she had something far more potent – the love and support of her friends, her Pokémon, and the heroes she had fought alongside.

In that moment, Lillie felt a surge of energy. She knew that she wasn't alone, that there were others out there who believed in the goodness of the Pokémon world and were fighting to protect it.

Seeing Lillie's determination, Gladion looked conflicted. He had always cared deeply for his sister, but the darkness had clouded his judgment. He turned away from her, unable to face the truth.

Brock, Max, Bonnie, Iris, Cilan, Gary, and Clemont were members of Iris clique and they were supreme members of the ruling body of the Pokemon League who listened to Giovanni, Maxie, Archie, Cyrus, Ghetsis, Lysandre, Hunter J, Guzma, Lusamine, and Rose who were members of the advisory body of the Pokemon League which secretly had unilateral power over the ruling body of the Pokemon League.

Brock sneered "Me and my wife Lucy are the governors of Kanto region who rule with the power of Ogerpon and Ogerpon's darkness. I love the power of darkness and the order we forced on the people and the chaos we forced on the dissenters."

Clemont chuckled "As for me, I love ruling with my wife Korrina as governors of Kalos region. We all rule with the power of Ogerpon and Ogerpon's darkness. Hail Ogerpon!"

Gary nodded "I and my wife Sabrina are the governors of Johto region. Yes, the feeling of Ogerpon's darkness flowing through us is amazing."

Max smirked "I and Bonnie rule Hoenn region as governors and we love Ogerpon."

Cilan laughed "Me and Iris who is my wife are governors of Unova region. Of course we love Ogerpon!"

As the members of Iris's clique boasted about their positions of power and their allegiance to Ogerpon's darkness, the atmosphere in the underground lair grew more charged with arrogance and confidence. Each of them reveled in the authority they held over their respective regions, knowing that they were part of a clandestine group with the real control over the Pokémon League.

Giovanni, the mastermind behind the advisory body, looked upon his devoted followers with satisfaction. "You have all done well in spreading Ogerpon's darkness throughout your regions," he said, his voice dripping with authority. "With each passing day, our grip on the Pokémon world tightens."

Lysandre, who admired beauty and perfection, chimed in, "Indeed. Our regions are now shining examples of the new order we seek to establish."

Maxie and Archie, leaders of Team Magma and Team Aqua, nodded in agreement. "The people in Hoenn now fear the chaos we can unleash upon them," Maxie said with a sinister grin.

Archie added, "And in Kalos, those who resist our rule are met with swift punishment."

Cyrus, the enigmatic strategist, spoke in his emotionless tone, "Our influence over the ruling body of the Pokémon League remains discreet, and they continue to serve as our puppets."

Ghetsis, the manipulative leader of Team Plasma, added, "Yes, the ruling body believes they hold power, but in reality, they dance to our tune."

Lusamine, the leader of the Aether Foundation, looked at her daughter, Lillie, who had not fully embraced the darkness. "Lillie, my dear, you should reconsider your stance," she said, her tone laced with malice. "The power we wield is unmatched. Embrace it, and you will never have to feel the burden of your conscience again."

Lillie looked at her mother and the others, her heart torn between her love for them and her belief in doing what was right. But seeing the darkness they reveled in, the pain they inflicted on innocent people and Pokémon, she knew she couldn't abandon her principles.

"I won't join you," she said firmly. "I won't turn my back on the people who need hope and protection."

Iris, the ambitious leader of the clique, stepped forward, her eyes glinting with a mix of admiration and disdain. "You always were too soft, Lillie," she said. "But don't worry, we'll show you the true path to power."

Bonnie, Max's wife and governor of Hoenn, giggled, "Yeah, you'll see how wonderful it is to bask in Ogerpon's darkness."

Clemont, governor of Kalos and Korrina's husband, chimed in, "And once you experience the thrill of controlling others, you won't be able to resist joining us."

Brock, the governor of Kanto and Lucy's husband, spoke with a sneer, "Don't be foolish, Lillie. With us, you could have everything you've ever wanted."

But Lillie stood her ground, looking at each member of the clique with a sense of determination. "I won't be swayed by your promises of power," she said. "I believe in the goodness of people, in the strength of unity, and I won't let you destroy that."

As Lillie spoke, a glimmer of doubt crossed some of the members' faces. Perhaps they had underestimated her resolve.

Alain was a member of Team Aura, a new team dedicated to release Ash, Leon, and Lance. Team Aura was once started by those who could slightly resist the overwhelming Ogerpon's darkness like Alain, N, Delia, Professor Oak, Professor Rowan and other like minded folks.

He faced the elaborate prison where Ash, Misty, Elesa, Hau, Hala, Skyla, Kukui, Burnet, Olivia, Lance, Cynthia, Leon, Roxanne, Flannery, Brawly, Flint, Volkner, Viola, Wulfric, Raihan, and Mustard were held, his heart pounding with determination. As a member of Team Aura, he knew the risks he was taking to free Ash, Leon, and Lance, along with all the other heroes and their allies held captive by the villains.

His team consisted of N, the enigmatic individual who had a unique connection with Pokémon; Delia, Ash's loving mother, who couldn't bear to see her son suffer; Professor Oak and Professor Rowan, the renowned Pokémon researchers who believed in the power of unity and love.

"We must be cautious," N advised, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "The villains will have guards posted, and they won't hesitate to use their Pokémon to stop us."

Alain nodded, his eyes never leaving the prison. "We've come too far to turn back now," he said. "We must free them and put an end to the villains' reign of darkness."

Delia looked at Alain with a mixture of concern and pride. "Be careful, dear," she said. "I believe in you, but I can't bear the thought of losing you too."

Alain placed a reassuring hand on Delia's shoulder. "Don't worry, Mrs. Ketchum," he said. "We won't let anything happen to Ash or anyone else. We'll get them all out safely."

With a nod, the team moved forward, carefully avoiding the villains' patrols. They used their Pokémon to create diversions and find the weak points in the prison's security. Slowly, they made their way closer to the captives.

Inside the prison, Ash, Misty, Elesa, Leon, and the others were growing more desperate with each passing day. Their spirits were low, and they felt the weight of the darkness pressing down on them.

Misty, ever the determined water Pokémon trainer, refused to lose hope. "We have to believe that someone will come to save us," she said, trying to lift their spirits.

Leon, the undefeated Champion, nodded. "I have faith in our friends and allies. They won't abandon us," he said.

As Alain and his team drew closer, they could hear the faint sounds of their friends' voices. Their determination grew stronger, knowing that they were so close to freeing them.

But just as they were about to make their move, they were confronted by Guzma, the hot-headed leader of Team Skull. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" he sneered, his Pokémon ready for battle.

Alain stepped forward, his resolve unshaken. "We're here to put an end to your tyranny," he declared.

Guzma laughed mockingly. "You think you can take us all on?" he said. "You're just a bunch of weaklings."

But N stepped forward, his eyes filled with a mysterious power. "We may not have the darkness you possess, but we have something more powerful – the strength of our hearts and the bonds we share with our Pokémon."

As the battle ensued, Team Aura fought with all their might against Guzma and his allies. They were outnumbered, but their determination and belief in their cause gave them strength.

Meanwhile, the other villains inside the prison began to feel a strange shift in the atmosphere. The darkness that had surrounded them seemed to waver, as if it were being pushed back by a force they couldn't comprehend.

Cyrus, ever the composed strategist, noticed the disturbance. "Something is amiss," he said, his eyes narrowing.

Lysandre, who admired beauty and perfection, added, "It's as if the power of darkness is being challenged by something else."

Outside the prison, Alain and his team managed to defeat Guzma and his allies, but the battle was far from over. The other villains had taken notice of their presence and were preparing to confront them.

But just as it seemed hopeless, a powerful surge of aura emanated from inside the prison. The darkness that had consumed the captives began to recede, revealing a radiant glow that filled the entire area.

N smiled, sensing the positive energy. "They're fighting back," he said. "The heroes and their allies are resisting the darkness."

Alain's heart swelled with hope. "We can't give up now," he said. "We have to keep going."

With renewed determination, Team Aura pushed forward, facing the remaining villains with courage and unity. The power of darkness was being challenged, and the heroes inside the prison were finding strength in each other's presence.

As the battle raged on, the balance of power began to shift. The villains, once so sure of their dominance, now felt the weight of resistance. The darkness they had used to control the regions was weakening, and the people, inspired by the heroes' fight, were rising up against them.

The Pokémon world was on the brink of change, and the outcome would be decided by the heroes' resilience and the bonds they shared with each other and their Pokémon. The final battle had begun, and the fate of the Pokémon world hung in the balance.

Team Aura had successfully manage to release Ash, Misty, Elesa, Hau, Hala, Skyla, Kukui, Burnet, Olivia, Lance, Cynthia, Leon, Roxanne, Flannery, Brawly, Flint, Volkner, Viola, Wulfric, Raihan, and Mustard and they were currently in an underground lair.

Ash smirked "I and Misty will confront Brock, Max, Bonnie, Iris, Cilan, Gary, and Clemont who will have a get together along with their spouses to celebrate their rule of the Pokemon world with Ogerpon and Ogerpon's darkness. Of course we are considered by the "Pokemon League" who are just a front for the villainous teams to be terrorists so we need disguises."

Ash's determination was unwavering as he looked at his friends and allies. "We can't let them continue this tyranny," he said. "We need to confront them and show the world the truth behind their so-called rule."

Misty nodded in agreement. "But we have to be careful," she warned. "They still have the advantage of power and resources. We need a plan to expose them without putting ourselves in more danger."

Cynthia, the wise Champion of Sinnoh, spoke up, "Agreed. We need to gather evidence and support from the regions. If we can show the people the truth, they will rise against the villains and their false 'Pokemon League.'"

Leon, the undefeated Champion of Galar, added, "And we have to be strategic in our approach. If we confront them head-on, we'll play right into their hands."

N, who had a unique understanding of Pokémon, suggested, "Perhaps we could use the power of Pokémon to communicate with the regions and spread the truth. The bonds we share with our Pokémon can be a powerful force."

Alain stepped forward, "We also need to rally the strong trainers who haven't succumbed to Ogerpon's darkness. With their help, we'll have a better chance of exposing the villains."

Roxanne, the dedicated Rock-type Gym Leader, agreed, "I know many trainers who are strong and committed to doing what's right. They'll stand with us against this darkness."

Flannery, the fiery Gym Leader, chimed in, "We can organize a resistance, a movement that will shake the villains' hold on the regions."

As the heroes discussed their plan, they knew that time was of the essence. The villains were likely preparing for their celebration, and they had to act swiftly to prevent further chaos.

Ash then came up with an idea. "We'll need disguises to get close to them without raising suspicions," he said. "If we go as ourselves, they'll know we're onto them."

Misty smiled, "I've got just the idea. With the help of my Water-type Pokémon, we can use illusions to change our appearances."

And so, with the assistance of Misty's Water-type Pokémon, the heroes were given disguises that would allow them to infiltrate the villains' celebration without being recognized.

Brock, Lucy, May, Drew, Dawn, Paul, Serena, Tierno, Shauna, Trevor, Iris, Cilan, Clemont, Korrina, Max, Bonnie, Gary, Sabrina, Tracey, Whitney, Goh, and Chloe were gathered in a grand hall in Opelucid City, celebrating their rule with Ogerpon and Ogerpon's darkness. The atmosphere was filled with arrogance and self-assurance, and they reveled in their illusion of power.

Unknown to them, the heroes were nearby, preparing to expose their true intentions. With their disguises in place, Ash and his life partner Misty blended into the crowd, remaining watchful for any signs of danger.

As the celebration continued, the heroes noticed that the villains were becoming more careless, their arrogance getting the better of them. It was the perfect opportunity to expose their nefarious plans.

Ash and Misty soon reached May, Dawn, and Serena who were forced by Drew, Paul, and Tierno to be their wives even though they rejected them. May, Dawn, and Serena everyday were fighting against Ogerpon's darkness which was influencing them to be with Drew, Paul, and Tierno and influencing Drew, Paul, and Tierno to force them to be their wives. May, Dawn, and Serena truly loved Ash and wanted to be with him while Ash was also interested in them.

As Ash and Misty approached May, Dawn, and Serena, they could see the struggle in their friends' eyes. Despite being under the influence of Ogerpon's darkness, their love for Ash was undeniable, and their spirits were fighting to break free from the manipulative hold of Drew, Paul, and Tierno.

Ash spoke softly, "May, Dawn, Serena, we know that this isn't what you truly want. Your feelings are being twisted by the darkness, but we're here to help you break free."

Misty nodded in agreement, her heart aching for her friends. "You don't have to pretend anymore. We can save you from this darkness, but you need to trust us," she urged.

May looked torn, struggling to find her true self amidst the influence of Ogerpon's darkness. "It's so hard... They have this hold over me," she confessed, tears welling in her eyes. "But deep down, I know I love you, Ash."

Dawn, with a determined look, added, "We've been fighting this darkness every day, but it's relentless. We need your help to break free from this control."

Serena, who had always been strong-willed, spoke with a hint of defiance, "I refuse to be a puppet in their twisted game. I want to be with you, Ash."

Ash and Misty shared a knowing look, knowing that they had to act quickly to free their friends from the clutches of the villains.

Meanwhile, Paul, Drew, and Tierno were unaware of the internal struggle their "wives" were facing. They reveled in their illusion of power, oblivious to the deception that surrounded them.

As the heroes devised a plan to confront the villains, they knew they had to be cautious. Ogerpon's darkness was a formidable force, and they needed to find a way to weaken its grip on May, Dawn, and Serena.

Brock kissed his wife Lucy and smiled "I love Ogerpon and Ogerpon's darkness. We have come here to celebrate Ogerpon!"

Lucy nodded "Due to Ogerpon, you have the darkness which makes you so charming!"

Clemont put his arm around his wife Korrina's waist and nodded "I have the charisma to be with a beautiful woman like Korrina due to Ogerpon."

Iris chuckled "I was the one who helped Drew, Paul, and Tierno to have wives in May, Dawn, Serena. May, Dawn, Serena were just prisoners and I suggested Drew, Paul, and Tierno to make May, Dawn, Serena as their wives even though they love Ash and even when they refused, with the power of Ogerpon and Ogerpon's darkness, I got Drew, Paul, and Tierno to agree by showing that I will somehow make May, Dawn, Serena agree to accept to be their wives. I am just so cunning, am not I?"

Cilan nodded "You are so cunning and I love you for that!"

Goh laughed "I am the successor to Hunter J who hunts rare and powerful Pokemons with an amazing wife in Chloe who is an amazing researcher who tortures Pokemons in the name of research."

Chloe smiled "Goh is right, I was able to make a lot of discoveries due to my torture which gives me research data."

Max smirked "I have encouraged May to be with Drew even if her heart wants Ash as it is nice to see her struggle in her life with her love of Ash and her husband Drew."

Bonnie added "I have also supported Max in his efforts to make May and Drew to be together no matter how much May wants Ash."

Trevor chimed in "All me and Shauna have done is ensure Serena is with Tierno no matter how much Serena loved Ash as it makes us happy to see her suffer with her love of Ash and her husband Tierno."

Shauna hugged Trevor "Yes, we were influenced by Ogerpon and Ogerpon's darkness to do all that and we love doing that as we get the thrill of the pulsating effect of Ogerpon's darkness in our bodies."

Korrina looked at Clemont affectionately "Clemont, we also were forcing Serena to be with Tierno no matter how much she refused to be with her husband Tierno due to her love of Ash as we love seeing her suffer."

Clemont nodded "You are right, my amazing wife Korrina."

Tracey laughed "My job as a Pokemon researcher involved a lot of torture of Pokemons and my wife Whitney also helped me torture Pokemons for the sake of research to advance the knowledge of humans."

Whitney chuckled "Yes, you are increasing my social standing by telling my activities with you."

Tracey smiled "We all need to know how awesome you are. Also, we both had forced Dawn to be with her husband Paul despite her love of Ash as we loved seeing her cry and suffer while we encouraged her."

Whitney laughed "Yes, we did all that for Dawn to be with her husband Paul while enjoying her cry and suffer."

As the villains continued to revel in their illusions of power and control, the heroes were both appalled and saddened by the extent of Ogerpon's darkness that had consumed their former friends. The internal struggle of May, Dawn, and Serena was evident, and it pained Ash and Misty to see them trapped in a web of deceit and manipulation.

The heroes knew that they couldn't let the celebration continue, not when their friends' happiness and well-being were at stake. They exchanged determined glances, silently agreeing that they had to act swiftly and decisively to free May, Dawn, and Serena from Ogerpon's darkness.

Ash stepped forward, his voice filled with a mix of compassion and determination, "Enough of this charade! May, Dawn, and Serena deserve to be with the ones they truly love, not forced into these twisted arrangements by the darkness that has clouded their hearts."

Misty added, "You may have been under the influence of Ogerpon's darkness, but deep down, your feelings for Ash are genuine. Let those feelings guide you, and together, we can break free from this darkness."

May, Dawn, and Serena looked torn, their emotions battling against the manipulation they had endured. Drew, Paul, and Tierno, who had been blissfully unaware of their "wives'" internal struggles, were now beginning to realize the harm they had caused.

May took a step towards Ash, tears streaming down her face, "I... I do love you, Ash. I'm so sorry for everything."

Dawn and Serena joined her, their hearts finally breaking free from the darkness' grip. "We love you too, Ash. And we don't want to be with anyone else," they confessed.

Drew, Paul, and Tierno stood shocked and guilt-ridden, finally seeing the truth behind their actions. The allure of Ogerpon's darkness had blinded them, and they now faced the consequences of their choices.

Brock, Lucy, Iris, Cilan, Clemont, Korrina, and the rest of the villains watched in disbelief as their control over May, Dawn, and Serena crumbled before their eyes. The heroes' unity and the power of their genuine love were stronger than the darkness that had once consumed them.

Ash's voice rang out with unwavering resolve, "Your illusion of power ends now. We won't let you continue to manipulate and hurt people for your selfish desires."

Misty, beside him, added, "The true power lies in the strength of our bonds and the love we have for each other. It's time for the darkness to be exposed and for the regions to be free from your control."

As the heroes confronted the villains, the people in the grand hall began to murmur, seeing the truth unfold before them. The façade of power that the villains had created was now shattered, and their support among the regions waned rapidly.

Iris was furious and had a Master Ball in her chain and she removed her chain. Iris spoke out aloud "Ogerpon, the ruler of darkness, the one who will challenge Arceus in its power, I release you for the world to see you in your true glory!"

Iris threw her Master Ball which released Ogerpon which was a small, green humanoid Pokémon. It had a green, grassy torso, and long black legs with two toes on each foot. A green, leafy cloak covered its arms. It was seen wearing a large leaf mask with a creepy grin and Terastal marks on the lower leaves, forehead, and eyes. Under its mask, Ogerpon had yellow eyes and a thorny vine around its head with the two upper thorns resembling horns.

Ogerpon gave out a loud sound and the dark aura was affecting everyone in Opelucid City and the effects could be felt even all across Unova. Arceus then appeared outside the hall and then Ogerpon ran and left the hall with the heroes and the villains running and leaving the hall.

Arceus then spoke in telepathy "Ash, command me in a battle with Ogerpon. The winner would be the one who controls the destiny. If Ogerpon and Iris wins, darkness will rule the world and if we win, the aura will vanquish the darkness."

Ash nodded "Sure, Arceus!"

As Ash stood with Arceus by his side, a sense of determination filled the air. The battle between light and darkness was about to unfold, and the fate of the Pokémon world hung in the balance.

Ogerpon spoke through telepathy "Iris, we will rule the world with you as the supreme queen and my devoted follower if we win so give me commands."

Iris, with Ogerpon at her command, spoke with confidence, "Prepare yourself, Ash! With Ogerpon's power, I will crush you and Arceus, and darkness shall reign supreme!"

Ash's voice was steady as he replied, "I won't let that happen, Iris. Arceus, let's show them the power of unity and love!"

The battle began, and Ogerpon wasted no time in launching a powerful attack. Dark energy surged from its leafy cloak, aiming directly at Arceus. But Arceus, being the embodiment of all types, had the advantage of knowing every move. It countered with a brilliant display of light, striking back at Ogerpon.

Iris, confident in Ogerpon's power, called out her commands, "Ogerpon, use Dark Pulse!"

Ash and Arceus were in perfect sync, and they dodged the attack with ease. Ash then commanded, "Now, Arceus, hit it with Judgement!"

A beam of light burst forth from Arceus, imbued with the power of all the Plates. Ogerpon tried to evade, but the attack landed, sending it flying backward.

Iris gritted her teeth, "Ogerpon, don't falter! Use Leaf Storm!"

The green humanoid Pokémon conjured a swirling vortex of leaves, aiming it at Arceus. However, Arceus stood strong, its aura glowing with resilience. It countered the Leaf Storm with a powerful Aura Sphere.

As the two powerful beings clashed, the force of their attacks shook the very foundation of Opelucid City. The people across Unova could feel the intensity of the battle, and they watched with bated breath, hoping that the light would triumph over darkness.

Iris, seeing that Ogerpon's attacks were being outmatched, became more desperate. "Ogerpon, use Grassy Terrain to strengthen yourself!"

Ogerpon summoned a field of lush grass around it, hoping to bolster its strength. However, Arceus remained composed, knowing that unity and love would prevail over darkness.

Ash called out, "Arceus, let's show them the power of our bonds! Use Hyper Beam!"

The mighty Pokémon unleashed a devastating Hyper Beam, its energy infused with the strength of the heroes' unity and love. The attack tore through the Grassy Terrain and struck Ogerpon head-on.

The force of the attack was overwhelming, and Iris struggled to maintain control over Ogerpon. The Pokémon stumbled, weakened by the power of Arceus and Ash's unwavering determination.

Iris clenched her fists, unwilling to admit defeat. "Ogerpon, use your ultimate attack, Shadow Ball!"

Ogerpon mustered the last of its strength, charging up a dark, ominous ball of energy. But before it could launch the attack, Ash and Arceus acted as one.

"Arceus, combine our auras! Let's use Judgement!"

A brilliant fusion of light and aura enveloped Arceus, and it shot towards Ogerpon with incredible speed. The Judgement collided with Ogerpon's Shadow Ball, and the two powerful forces struggled against each other.

As the clash of power reached its climax, the darkness of Ogerpon's darkness began to wane. The aura of unity and love, embodied by Ash and Arceus, overpowered the darkness, dispelling it and bringing light back to Opelucid City.

With a final burst of light, Ogerpon was sent reeling backward, its form fading away. Iris gasped, watching her once-powerful companion disappear.

Ash approached Iris, his voice gentle yet firm, "Iris, it's not too late to choose a different path. Turn away from the darkness, and embrace the light within you."

Iris looked conflicted, but the darkness that had once consumed her was fading. She took a deep breath and nodded, "You're right, Ash. I've been lost in this darkness for too long. I choose to stand with you and Arceus, for the sake of the Pokémon world."

As the people of Unova watched, a wave of hope and unity washed over them. The darkness that had once threatened to engulf the regions was now vanquished, and the heroes' bonds were stronger than ever.

Arceus spoke in telepathy, "Ash, you have proven the power of unity and love. The Pokémon world is safe in your hands."

Ash smiled, his heart filled with gratitude and pride. "Thank you, Arceus. With the support of my friends and Pokémon, we'll continue to protect the Pokémon world from any darkness that may come."

As the people celebrated the victory, they knew that the heroes' strength was not just in their powerful Pokémon but in their unwavering love and unity. The darkness had been driven away, and the regions were now free to thrive under the light of hope and love.

Drew smiled "I release May from her marriage with me."

Paul nodded "From now on, Dawn is free."

Tierno smiled "Serena is from now, a girl with freedom to choose who to be with."

Drew, Paul, and Tierno went to the police and stood to be taken by them and Trevor and Shauna also followed them.

Ash seriously spoke "I call on those of the Iris clique who did serious crimes to hand themselves to the police. That is how they shall reach redemption."

Iris spoke in a solemn tone "Drew, Paul, Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna were barely involved with crime so they deserve lighter punishment."

Brock, Lucy, Iris, Cilan, Clemont, Korrina, Max, Bonnie, Gary, Sabrina, Tracey, Whitney, Goh, and Chloe went to the police and they handed over themselves to be arrested for the crimes and they were taken by the police in a van.

With the darkness finally vanquished, the heroes and the people of Unova began to rebuild and heal. The arrest of the villains marked the end of their reign of manipulation and deceit, and the regions were finally free from their malevolent grasp.

As the heroes stood in the aftermath of the battle, Ash's focus shifted to his friends who had been under the control of Ogerpon's darkness. May, Dawn, and Serena were visibly shaken, but the relief of being free from the manipulation was evident in their eyes.

Ash approached them with a warm smile, "You're finally free, May, Dawn, Serena. I'm glad you're back."

May's eyes welled up with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Ash. We couldn't have broken free without your help."

Dawn nodded, "You and Misty were the ones who showed us the way back to ourselves. Thank you."

Serena added, "You never gave up on us, even when we were under Ogerpon's control. You truly are a remarkable friend."

Misty chimed in, "And we'll always be here for you, no matter what challenges we face."

As the heroes reunited with their Pokémon, a sense of unity and camaraderie filled the air. The battles they had fought had not only defeated the darkness but had also strengthened their bonds. They knew that as long as they stood together, they could face any challenge that lay ahead.

With the villains in custody, the regions began to heal. The people rejoiced, grateful for the heroes' bravery and determination. The world had been saved from darkness, and the heroes were hailed as true saviors.

In the days that followed, May, Dawn, and Serena spent time with Ash and Misty, cherishing the freedom to be with the ones they loved. The influence of Ogerpon's darkness had left scars, but the heroes' unwavering support and love helped them heal.

Meanwhile, the villains who had once reveled in their illusions of power and control were now facing the consequences of their actions. The authorities, led by Officer Jenny, worked tirelessly to bring them to justice.

In the aftermath of the battle, Ash addressed the people of Unova, standing alongside his loyal friends and Pokémon. He spoke with conviction, "We have overcome darkness, but let this be a lesson to us all. Unity, love, and compassion are the true sources of power. Let's build a world where every Pokémon and every person can live in harmony and peace."

The crowd erupted in cheers, pledging to support Ash and the heroes in their quest for a brighter future. With the regions united, they set out to restore balance and prosperity, knowing that together, they could overcome any challenge.

As the days turned into weeks, the heroes continued their journey, helping those in need and spreading hope across the Pokémon world. The once-divided regions now stood stronger than ever, bound together by the bonds of friendship and love.

May, Dawn, and Serena rejoined the heroes, and together, they faced new adventures and challenges. Their experiences had taught them the importance of staying true to themselves and not succumbing to darkness.

With Ash, Misty, and their friends by their side, they knew they could face anything that came their way. They had found strength in their unity and love, and they were determined to protect the Pokémon world from any threat that dared to rise.

And so, the heroes' journey continued, a tale of courage, friendship, and the power of love. As they traveled from region to region, they left behind a legacy of hope, inspiring others to stand up against darkness and embrace the light.
