Hello everyone, after 3 Years, 3 Months, and 9 Days, this story is over. It may not have been the best story, but I hope you liked it. Now let's end this, and tomorrow I'll post the first chapter of Mysticons And The Great Powers of Pokemon.

Now here's chapter 26.

Chapter 26

The Path Into The Future

After a bit of flying they reached Fodra's Lastalia Shaft which was a larger shaft then Ephinea Lastalia Shaft. "So this is Fodra's Ghardia Shaft…" Asbel said to everyone. "It must have been quite a sight back in the day." Malik said to everyone. "It's been totally corroded by all the eleth." Pascal said to everyone.

"It's possible that the path to the core has fallen into similar disrepair. Reaching our goal may be even more difficult than we first imagined." Hubert said to everyone. (Given what we heard in the recording, I wouldn't be surprised if it was.) Inteleon said to everyone.

"Not to mention the constant threat of attack from Swarms of Little Queens." Malik said to everyone. (There's a good chance of us fighting all the way to the core.) Arcanine said to everyone. "We still have to go." Sophie said to everyone, as she took a few steps ahead of everyone, before stopping and turning to everyone.

"I know how those girls feel. They fight because they want to protect something that's very important to them. But if we can just talk to them, they might realize we aren't their enemy. Even though there were so many of them, their faces all looked lonely. I want to know why… So we have to go." Sophie said to everyone.

"Sophie's right." Richard said to everyone. "Now let's go." Asbel said to everyone. "One way or another, this ends today." William said to everyone, before they started to move down the shaft.

After walking for a long time, they found a teleporter and went through it, and found themselves a large open space with large floating rocks around, covered in grass, with the larger stones having trees on them.

Everyone looked at the place, while WIlliam was throwing up. "Do you feel that breeze?" Cheria asked everyone, as they felt a gentle breeze blow around them. "It feels nice." Sophie said to everyone. (Yeah, but where underground, there shouldn't be a breeze like this down here.) Gardevoir said to everyone.

"This place looks really… different." Richard said to everyone. "It doesn't look like someplace people would build." Asbel said to everyone. "I bet most of it is natural, and they just built around the rest." Pascal said to Asbel. "Plus a very long time without human influence and nature will over take things again." William said to Asbel.

Then monsters showed up. "Guys heads up!" Asbel said to everyone, as they got ready for a fight. But that's when a Little Queen showed up. "Listen well, invaders of Fodra. You will never reach Fodra's core!" The Little Queen said to everyone, before the monsters attacked.

"Gardevoir use Dazzling Gleam." Cheria said to Gardevoir. (Right.) Gardevoir said to Cheria, as she let out a multi-color light, blinding the monsters, and making them stop.

"Swampert while their stun use Muddy Water." William said to Swampert, as he turned into his Primal Kyogre form. "Swanna, help Swampert with Surf." Alice said to Swanna.

(On it.) Swampert and Swanna said, as they made a wave of clear water and of mud. William then used his powers to control the wave, making them catch all the monsters, and making the wave and monster crash into the Little Queen, disorienting her and dealing some damage.

"Boltund use Double Team, and keep those monsters in one place." Asbel said to Boltund, as he changed into his Attack form, and charged at the Little Queen, with William right behind him.

"Arcanine help Boltund with Extreme Speed." Malik said to Arcanine, as he and everyone else charged at the monsters. (You got it.) Boltund and Arcanine said, as Boltund made copies of himself and they ran around the monsters, at the same Arcanine moved at high speed around the monsters. This trapped them.

"Golurk use Rock Slide." Sophie said to Golurk. Golurk said nothing and made rocks fall from the sky, landing on the monsters, crushing most of them.

That's when everyone reached the monsters and started to finish off the monsters. "Inteleon use Snipe Shot." Hubert said to Inteleon, as he killed a monster. (No problem.) Inteleon said to Hubert, as he fired a burst of water from his fingers, with the bolt of water nearly missing the rocks, and hitting one of the monsters in the back, killing it.

"Beheeyem use Flash Cannon." Pascal said to Beheeyem, as she fired magic shots at a few monsters that were trying to run away. (Right.) Beheeyem said, as he fired a burst of silver energy. The silver energy smashed through a rock, and killed a monster hiding behind it.

With William and Asbel, they forced the Little Queen back, but the Little Queen was still strong enough to fire bursts of yellow energy at them. "Asbel, get back, and Swampert use Blizzard." William said to Asbel and Swampert, as he made it rain over the Little Queen's head.

(You got it.) Swampert said to William, as Asbel jumped back, and let out a burst of freezing winds and snow from his mouth. When the blizzard hit the Little Queen, it caused the rain that was falling around her to become ice and form patches of ice on her.

(Thunder Fang.) Boltund said, as he moved to the Little Queen's back, his teeth encased in electricity. Boltund then bit the Little Queen's right leg, hard. Thai caused the Little Queen to fall to her knees.

"Swampert, follow us with Liquidation." William said to Swampert, as he and Asbel charged at the Little Queen. (Right behind you.) Swampert said to William, as water blades popped out of his wrist, and he followed Asbel and Swampert.

Boltund then jumped back, moving out of the way of William, Asbel, and Swampert. All three of them landed a clean hit on the Little Queen, as they rushed past her. This caused the Little Queen to start breaking apart.

"We must… Destroy the humans and the Pokemon…" The Little Queen said before breaking apart completely. "She's gone." Sophie said to everyone, as they put their weapons away, and Asbel and William turned back to normal.

But transforming back, Asbel saw a flash of light in his left eye, making Asbel fall to his knees. "Are you okay?!" Cheria asked Asbel, as everyone moved to Asbel's side. "Yeah. I'm fine. I just thought I saw something." Asbel said to everyone, putting a hand over his eye, before he started to talk to Lambda and Agate.

"Lambda, Agate, what's happening?" Asbel asked them. "If you continue, Fodra's consciousness may force its way into your mind." Lambda said to Asbel."Yes, me and Lambda are from her core, meaning our connection to it will get stronger the deeper we go.

"Fodra's consciousness?" Asbel asked them. "If you are forced to experience her billions of years' worth of memories, your mind will collapse entirely." Lambda said to Asbel. "We'll try to null the memories, but it won't last for long." Agate said to Asbel. "I would prepare myself if I were you." Lambda said to Asbel, before they stopped talking.

Asbel then got up, and started to walk. Asbel looked at everyone, before they started to walk farther into the place.

After a bit of walking, they found another open area, and stopped. "How can there be such a huge open space all the way down here?" Cheria asked everyone. "It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen." Richard said to everyone. "This place is teeming with life. But why?" Malik asked everyone.

Pascal moved ahead of everyone, before turning to everyone. "Because we're approaching Fodra's core." Pascal said to everyone. "Fodra's core." Sophie said to everyone. "What's wrong, Pascal? You seem quiet." Hubert asked Pascal.

Pascal then looked away from everyone. "Well, the place is filled with plants and animals and whatever, right?" Pascal asked everyone. "Right." Hubert said to Pascal. "What are you getting at?" Alice asked Pascal.

"I had this same thought when we saw the flowers, but…" Pascal said to everyone, but went quiet. "Hey, Pascal, come on. You're starting to worry me." Asbel said to Pascal. "There's one thing that should be here, but isn't." Pascal said to everyone. "Which is?" Cheria asked Pascal, as everyone started to think.

"Humans and Pokemon. There aren't any humans and Pokemon here." Sophie said to everyone, surprising everyone but William. "Exactly." Pascal said to Sophie. "Well that's not much of a surprise, Humans take a long time to show up in a world, and Pokemon aren't from this world so they shouldn't be here." William said to everyone.

"No I mean. Look at how beautiful this planet is with no people or Pokemon around. I think that's why Fodra's been trying to eliminate all the humans and Pokemon. And this place is the result." Pascal said to everyone. "Now way…" Cheria said to Pascal.

"The Little Queens were born from Fodra's core in order to protect it." Pascal said to everyone. "That would seem to match with what we've seen so far." Malik said to everyone.

"Remember what Fourier said about how creatures adapt to survive? Well, it looks like the core had that ability, too. If humans and Pokemon were here, they'd eventually suck the core's eleth dry. I think Fodra is just trying to defend herself." Pascal said to everyone.

"SO what does that make us?" Cheria asked everyone. "From Fodra's perspective we would seem like the very personification of evil." Richard said to everyone. That's when Malik heard something and turned around to see a Little Queen standing behind them. "Well then, it looks like the cavalry has arrived." Malik said to everyone, everyone noticed the Little Queen.

"Humans… Pokemon… It is time to die. Perish Now… and prepare the way… for a brighter future!" The Little Queen said to everyone, as more Little Queens showed up, and they started to attack.

Swanna flew ahead of everyone. (Protect.) Swanna said, as she formed a green bubble around herself, blocking the first wave of the Little Queen's attack.

"Swampert use Liquidation." William said to Swampert, as he turned into his Primal Groudon form, as started to slash Little Queens, his spear's head encased in fire. (Right.) Swampert said, as water blades popped out of his wrist, and he followed William, slashing a few Little Queens.

Then some Little Queens tried to attack everyone from the back. (Swift.) Inteleon said, as he flicked yellow stars at the Little Queens trying to attack everyone from the back, taking them out.

(Flare Blitz.) Arcanine said, as he encased himself in fire and smashed threw a few of the Little Queens that were trying to rush everyone.

Realizing that close range fighting wasn't working, a few of the Little Queens tried shooting them from afar with yellow energy beams, but even in their doubtful metal state, everyone was still alert enough to dodged the energy blast.

(Teleport.) Gardevoir said, as she disappeared. Gardevoir then reappeared behind the Little Queens firing bolts of yellow energy at everyone. (Energy Ball!) Gardevoir said, as she fired green energy balls at the Little Queens, finishing most of the Little Queens.

The Little Queens then turned to Gardevoir and got ready to attack. "Dark Pulse." Beheeyem said, as he fired a pulse of black rings at the Little Queens that were facing Gardevoir, and finishing them.

Getting annoyed by this, a Little Queen tried to rush Sophie and grab her. (Drain Punch.) Golurk said, as his fist glowed a green spiral, and he punched the Little Queen away from Sophie and into a large rock.

(Thunder Fang.) Boltund said, as he charged at some Little Queens, his mouth full of electricity. Boltund then bit into a few of the Little Queens finishing them.

Then another group of Little Queens showed up. "I've had enough of this." William said to everyone. "Asbel forms a barrier around everyone NOW!" William said to Asbel. Asbel said nothing and switched into his Defense form and formed a energy barrier around everyone.

"Swampert use Earthquake." William said to Swampert, as he planted his spear head into the ground. (I think I know what you're planning.) Swampert said, as he slammed his fist into the ground, shaking the ground and breaking part. That's when flames burst out of the ground, finishing most of the Little Queen's off. Those that remained were on fire and slowly moved to everyone, but died before they reached everyone.

"I've never seen a more tenacious foe." Hubert said to everyone, as the remains of the Little Queens broke apart and disappeared. "They must really hate us…" Richard said to everyone. (What do you expect, they're the white blood cells of this world.) Inteleon said to everyone.

"Please, stop! They are not your enemy!" Sophie said to the last Little Queen. "We hate them… we must destroy all humanity and Pokemon." The Little Queen said to Sophie, before breaking apart.

As Asbel and William turned back to normal, Cheria fell to her knees. "Guys? I'm not sure we should keep fighting them. It's just starting to feel… wrong." Cheria said to everyone, with a sad tune in her voice. "I agree. The fight feels wrong to me as well." Hubert said to everyone, as everyone, but William, felt down in the bumps.

"Will you all pull yourselves together? We must move on." William said to everyone. "William! Don't you feel bad about this?!" Cheria asked William. "No." William said to Cheria, earning a look from everyone.

"Look, I know you're all having a dilemma about this. But if we don't stop her, she'll kill everyone back home. Remember, she thinks all humans and Pokemon are bad, if we don't stop her, she will come for everyone back home and kill all of them, from a baby who was just born to our oldest person on our planet. We may be the bad guys to Fodra, but we have to stop for everyone back home and those that will come after us." William said to everyone.

"William's right. We're not here to destroy Fodra. We just want to let it know that humans can change and Pokemon aren't bad creatures." Absel said to everyone. "And that we're not the same as we were a thousand years ago, and the Pokemon aren't that destructive." Asbel said to Cheria, kneeling down to her.

"Asbel." Sophie said to Asbel, as Asbel helped Cheria up. "He's right. We're here to calm her hate, not to kill her. She may not want our help, but if we want a bright future for all of us. Then we must do this." Alice said to everyone. "Okay, everyone. Let's get to the core." Sophie said to everyone. Everyone nodded in agreement, and started walking again.

Not long after walking they found a massive space with a bright light in the middle of it, floating crystal around it, and lights spinning around it, it looked like they were near a galaxy. "So this is… Fodra's core…" Asbel said to everyone. "It's so much bigger than Ephinea's." Richard said to everyone.

"Look! They're all here." Sophie said, as they noticed a large number of Little Queens appeared, surprising everyone. "Child of Fodra…" All the Little Queens said to Sophie. "Come to me. Take my hand and we will live in peace… Together." All the Little Queens said to Sophie, holding out a hand.

"I will… all of us will… become one with you." All the Little Queens said to Sophie, stitching out their arms, like they wanted Sophie to hug them and said to them. "But I am not you. I am Sophie Lhant."

"Sophie?" All the Little Queens asked Sophie. "Asbel gave me the name. And I will treasure it forever."

"You aid humans and Pokemon, child of Fodra. Very well then. The choice is made." All the Little Queens said to Sophie, before they started to move towards each other. "I will let you… Die with them!" All the Little Queens said to Sophie, as they let out a blinding light.

When the light faded, the woman that Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre obliterated. "I guess this is Fodra's true form." William said to everyone. "You- humans and Pokemon commit crimes against life itself. Now pay with death!" Fodra said to everyone, before letting out a sonic pulse, making everyone cover their ears.

"The plants work tirelessly to keep all of the life upon them in balance. It's their natural order of protection. And no creature pretending to be of nature will interfere with the balance." Fodra said to everyone. "What's she doing?!" Asbel asked everyone, as they started to drop to their knees. (How should I know?) Boltund said to Asbel.

"I can hear her. It's like she's speaking…" Hubert said to everyone. "Inside my mind!" Cheria said to everyone. (Is she planning to kill us like this?) Inteleon asked everyone. (Sure feels like it.) Gardevoir said to Inteleon.

"Humans and Pokemon are not content with harmony. Instead you treat the world like a child's toy and abuse it as you see fit." Fodra said to everyone.

"My head is splitting apart!" Richard said to everyone. (We're all feeling that way.) Skarmory said to everyone. "We're gonna be okay!" Malik said to everyone. (Yeah, we just have to endure it.) Arcanine said to everyone. "No we're not! Owe-eee!" Pascal said to everyone. (Pain. So. Much. Pain.) Beheeyem said to everyone. "Talking like that isn't helping." Alice said to Pascal. (Talking isn't helping at all.) Swanna said to everyone.

"We have to get up and fight!" William said to everyone. (Easier said than done!) Swampert said to William. "You have committed countless sins. And your lives are the coin by which sins are repaid. DIE!" Fodra said to everyone, before firing a pulse of energy at them.

But that's when Lambda flew out of Asbel, and blocked Fodra's attack. "Lambda." Asbel said to Lambda. "Even I cannot hold her off for very long." Lambda said to Asbel. "Don't worry. Just leave the rest to us, Okay?" Asbel said to Lambda.

"I'm sure that we can reach an understanding with Fodra." Sophie said to everyone, with the humans nodding in agreement. (Even if we have to do it the hard way.) Golurk said to everyone, with the Pokemon nodding in agreement. Then everyone got up. "We'll show her the power of a dream. If we can trust Lambda and Agate… then we can convince Fodra… to trust us!" Sophie said to everyone, as the battle began.

"Swanna use Surf." Alice said to Swanna. (On it.) Swanna said, as she made a large wave, and made the wave head towards Fodra. "Swampert, time to go all out! We will stand against any who will hurt our friends. We will stand for each other. And we will stand as the symbol of loyalty!" William said to Swampert, as he touched his keystone, and three beams of energy came out of it, connecting to three energy beams that came out of Swamperts Mega Stone.

While Swampert turned into his Mega Form, William turned into his Rayquaza form "Now use Blizzard." William to Swampert, as the wave got close to Fodra. (Right.) Swampert said to William, as he let out a burst of freezing winds and snow from his mouth.

William then used his wind powers to make the water, freezing wind, and snow move around Fodra, before slamming all of it into her. The result of this was Fodra frozen in a thick block of ice. But it took Fodra only a second to break out of the ice with a burst of yellow energy, shattering the ice into tiny pieces.

"She's strong. Boltund use Double Team, and distracts her." Asbel said to Boltund, as he turned into Speed form. (Right.) Boltund said, as he made copies of himself, and ran around Fodra, at the same time Asbel did some hit and run attacks. But this just annoyed them, and let out a pulse of yellow energy, sending Asbel, Boltund, and his copies flying.

Fodra then charged at everyone. "Golurk use High Horsepower." Sophie said to Golurk. Golurk said nothing, before an orange outline appeared around himself and he charged at Fodra.

The two of them crashed in the middle, but Fodra overpowered Golurk and sent Golurk flying back to everyone. "Gardevoir use Dazzling Gleam." Cheria said to Gardevoir. (On it.) Gardevoir said, as she let out a multi-color light, blinding Fodra and making her stop.

"Inteleon use Snipe Shot." Hubert said to Inteleon, as he fired magic shots at Fodra, at the same time Cheria threw knives at Fodra. "Beheeyem make sure Cheria's kives hit the mark with Psychic." Pascal said to Beheeyem.

(On it.) Inteleon and Beheeyem said, as Beheeyem's eyes glowed pink and a pink outline appeared on Cheria's knives and made them head straight for Fodra, with Inteleon firing water burst from his index fingers.

All the attacks hit Fodra, and sprung her like a bug to her. "Arcanine use Extreme Speed." Malik said to Arcanine, as he threw his blade at Fodra, and it hit Fodra in the face, disorienting her. (You got it.) Arcenine said, as he moved at high speed, ramming into Fodra's chest, forcing Fodra back.

"Skarmory use Iron Head." Richard said to Skarmory, as he and Sophie charged at Fodra. (Right.) Skarmory said, as her head turned silver and rough, and she charged at Fodra.

But Fodra recovered, and grabbed Skarmory by the neck, negating her attack. Fodra then threw Skarmory at Richard and Sophie. (Phantom Force.) Golurk said, as he grabbed Sophie and Richard, and disappeared in a purple portal, dodding Skarmory. Golurk then reappeared behind everyone.

"Okay, now she's getting on my nerves. Swampert use Liquidation." William said to Swampert, as he charged at Fodra. "Boltund use Crunch." Asbel said to Boltund, as he followed William. "Skarmory use Drill Peck." Richard said to Skarmory, as he followed William and Asbel.

(Right behind you.) Swampert, Boltund, and Skarmory said, as Water blades came out of Swamperts wrist, Boltund's fangs grew and glowed white, and winds started to spin around Skarmory's beck.

But Fodra fired a burst of yellow energy into the ground, hitting right in front of William, Asbel, Richard, and all of their Pokemon, sending them flying. (Protect.) Swanna said, as she formed a green bubble around herself and Alice, protecting them from getting hit by their flying friends.

"Beheeyem use Dark Pulse." Pascal said, as she and Hubert fired magic shots at Fodra. "Inteleon use Ice Beam." Hubert said to Inteleon. (On it.) Beheeyem and Inteleon said, as Beheeyem fired a pulse of black rings, and Inteleon fired a light blue beam. The light blue beam froze the black rings, and the rings hit Fodra, dealing some damage.

Annoyed by this, Fodra fired a large beam of yellow energy at everyone. "Look out!" Hubert said to Pascal, as he tackled Pascal, making them dodged Fodra's attack. "Arcanine use Flamethrower." Malik said to Arcanine. (You got it.) Arcanine said, as he let out a steam of fire from his mouth.

Fodra used her energy to block the steam of fire. "Gardevoir use Psychic." Cheria said to Gardevoir, as she and Malik threw their weapons at Fodra. (On it.) Gardevoir said, as her eyes glowed pink, and a pink outline appeared on Malik and Cheria weapons. Gardevoir made the weapons go around Fodra's energy barrier, and scratch up Fodra a little, before the weapons moved back to Malik and Cheria.

This caused Fodra and Arcanine to drop their attacks. "Golurk use Rock Slide." Sophie said to Golurk. Golurk said nothing, as he made rocks fall out of the sky, landing around Fodra, forming a circle around her.

"Swampert use Muddy Water." William said to Swampert, as he used his powers to keep Fodra trapped. "Swanna, help Swampert with Surf." Alice said to Swanna. (We're on it.) Swampert and Swanna, as Swampert made a large wave of muddy water, and Swanna made a large wave of sea water. The two waves became one, and crashed down on Fodra.

When the water hit Fodra, it dealt a lot of damage, forcing her to the ground, and watching away the rock around her. Fodra then started to get up. "Boltund use Electro Ball." Asbel said to Boltund. (You got it.) Boltund said, as he fired a yellow ball from his mouth. The ball hit Fodra, and forced her back onto the ground.

"Skarmory use Body Press." Richard said to Skarmory. (With Pleasure.) Skarmory said, as she tried to slam her chest into Fodra. But Fodra quickly got up, and grabbed Skarmory by the neck.

(Why does this keep happening to me!) Skarmory said, as Fodra threw her at Cheria and Gardevoir. (Teleport!) Gardevoir said, as she placed her hands on Cheria, and teleported herself and Cheria out of the way of Skarmory.

"Inteleon use Swift." Hubert said to Inteleon, as he and Pascal shot magic shots at Fodra, forcing Fodra to block it with her arms. (Right, on it.) Inteleon said, as he fired yellow stars at Fodra, annoying her, as she just kept her arms up and blocking his and Huberts attacks.

"Beheeyem use Flash Cannon." Pascal said to Beheeyem. "And Arcanine use Flamethrower." Malik said to Arcanine. (You got it.) Beheeyem and Arcanine said, as Beheeyem let out a silver burst of energy, and Arcanine let out a steam of flames from his mouth. The two attacks hit Fodra and forced her back.

Getting really annoyed, Fodra started to build up some yellow energy. "Golurk, protect everyone with Rock Slide." Sophie said to Golurk. Golurk said nothing and made rocks fall from the sky around them.

"Beheeyem/Gardevoir use Psychic on those rocks." Pascal and Cheria said to Beheeyem and Gardevoir. (Right.) Beheeyem and Gardevoir said, as their eyes glowed pink, and pink outlines appeared on the rocks. Beheeyem and Gardevoir moved the rocks, forming a rock wall in between everyone and Fodra.

"Swampert, reinforce that wall with Blizzard." William said to Swampert. (You got it.) Swampert said to William, letting out a burst of freezing winds and snow from his mouth, hitting the rock wall and covering it all in ice.

Fodra then let out a massive pulse of yellow energy, taking out the rock wall. Luckily the rock wall took most of the damage, and it caused Fodra to feel a little weak. "Skarmory use Metal Claw." Richard said, as he rushed Fodra, and slashed her Fodra's side. (On it.) Skarmory said, as her talons glowed sliver, and she slashed Fodra's back.

"Swanna use Air Shash." Alice said to Swanna, as she, Asbel, Hubert, and Malik charged at Fodra. "Boltund use Electro Ball." Asbel said to Boltund. "Inteleon use Ice Beam." Hubert said to Inteleon.

(On it.) Inteleon said, as he fired a light blue beam, hitting Fodra, freezing part of Fodra. (You got it.) Swanna and Boltund said, as Swanna fired wind blades from her wings, and Boltund fired a yellow ball from his mouth.

The wind blades and yellow ball hit Fodra, breaking the ice, and forcing her back, that's when everyone came up to Fodra, and rammed their blades into Fodra. "Arcanine use Flare Blitz." Malik said to Arcanine, as he, Alice, Asbel, and Hubert jumped back away from Fodra.

(Okay.) Arcanine said, as he encased himself in fire and rushed Fodra. Arcanine then slammed into Fodra's chest, sending her flying back.

Then the Fodra got really mad, regained her strength, and fired another large burst of yellow energy at everyone, sending all of them flying, dealing some major damage, as they crashed into the ground. "How are we going to stop her? Even after all that damage, she's still that strong." Hubert asked everyone, as they got up.

As they got up, William touched the back of the area, and felt energy flowing around them. William then focused and pulled back his hand back, pulling out a small amount of red, blue, and green energy out of the wall.

"Asbel I have an idea, get ready, this might be overwhelming." William said to Asbel, as he pulled out a large amount of red, blue, and green energy out of the walls and made it circle the area, surprising everyone.

And what everyone didn't know is that by William pulling out that energy, the surface of the planet started to calm down, with the wind and water flowing gently, the lava cooling down and turning into stone, even the sky started to clear up. And this also had an effect on Fodra, making her feel a little weaker.

"Time to kick things up a notch." William said, as he channeled the energy into himself and Asbel, making them glow red, blue, and green, and change forms.

William new form was new version of his fusion form, his Kyogre flippers on his shoulders where glowing dark blue, his Groudon legs looked like they have lava flowing thru it, his head has his Primal Rayquaza head and had the Primal Rayquaza's fins on his back, with glowing blue, red, and green vision of William's armor, with the colors moved around the armor. In his hands was his spear with the handle glowing red blue and green, the tip was in it's seashell forms, with the point split into four parts with lines of spike on it, between the seashell was flames blades with a nuzzle in the middle of it, and attached to the end of the seashells where the yellow fabric of the Primal Rayquaza spear.

For Asbel, his new form had a glowing green, blue, and red jumpsuit with the colors moving around him, under a some golden armor, six arms with gold armor over them, in two of his hands, where two gold rapiers, and in the other two hands was golden shields, in the last two hand was his normal sword that was glowing red blue, and green, gold saw like disc on the side of his knees, and a golf helmet with a red, blue, and green visor, with two short golden blades going up on the side of his head.

"Whoa, this is cool. And I feel incredible. Thanks William" Asbel said to William. "You can thank me, by helping me end this." William said to Asbel, as they both moved at high speed, and landed two good hits on Fodra.

Fodra then got mad, and fired a massive burst of yellow energy at William and Asbel. But Asbel held out his shield forming a red, blue, and green barrier around him and William, blocking Fodra's attack. Then William slammed his spear into the ground, making a large burst of fire shot out from under Fodra, knocking her in the air.

William then held up his spear, and made a large amount of water form around Fodra, trapping her. "Swampert use Blizzard." William said to Swampert. (On it.) Swampert said, as he let out a burst of freezing wind and snow from his mouth. This caused the water around Fodra to freeze and turn into a block of ice.

Asbel then charged at Fodra, and used his three swords to cut through the ice and land a handful of hits on Fodra. "Boltund use Electro Ball." Asbel said to Boltund, as he tossed Fodra towards Boltund. (Right.) Boltund said, as he fired a yellow ball from his mouth, hitting Fodra and sending Fodra flying back and into the ground.

"Swampert use Liquidation." William said to Swampert, as his blades in this spear encased in fire, and he charged at Fodra. (Right behind you.) Swampert said, as water blades popped out of his wrist, and he followed William. William and Swampert then slashed Fodra a few times, before Fodra moved away from them.

"Boltund, stop her with Thunder Fang." Asbel said to Boltund, as he forced Fodra closer to Boltund. (You got it.) Boltund said, as his teeth grew and glowed yellow. Then when Fodra got closer, Boltund bit into her leg, making Fodra yell in pain. But before Fodra could do anything, Asbel slashed her with her three swords, sending Fodra out of Boltund's mouth and back.

Fodra then got really angry, focused on Asbel and William, and channeled all of her energy into yellow orbs. Fodra then flung the orbs at Asbel and William. Asbel and William then moved at high speed, dodging the orbs, but the orbs kept following them.

"Asbel, I'm getting tired of this! Let's end this." William said to Asbel, as he swatted some orbs away from him. "I thought you'd never ask! We started this together, let's end it together!" Asbel said to William. "You got that right!" William said to Asbel, as his spear glowed red, blue, and green, and Asbel one of Asbel's swords glowed red, another glowed blue, and the last one glowed green.

Asbel and William moved at high speed, avoiding Fodra's orbs, and getting closer to Fodra. Then Asbel and William jumped up, and slashed Fodra going straight down. The attacks caused Fodra's orbs to blow up, and leave red, blue, and green lines on her. But the line let out a surge of energy, causing Fodra to explode in a burst of red, blue, and green energy.

When the smoke cleared, Fodra was laying on the ground, her face buried in the ground. "Did we do it?" Asbel asked everyone, as Fodra slowly started to get up. "We dealt some damage, but she still has some strength left." William said to Asbel, as everyone rallied to their sides.

Fodra then tried to walk to the core. "Die… Die, humans… Pokemon… Die! I must keep Fodra safe. I must!" Fodra said, as she weakly walked to the core. "Oh, this is bad! If she absorbs the core's eleth, she'll regain all her strength!" Pascal said to everyone. "We can't handle another round with her. Well maybe William and Asble can." Alice said to everyone. "Just because I can, doesn't mean I want to fight her ten more rounds." William said to Alice.

"Lambda! Agate! Now!" Asbel said to Lambda and Agate, as energy wings came out of his back, and he flew into the air. "Lambda… Agate…" Sophie said to them. "Here we go!" Asbel said to everyone, before he, Lambda, and Agate yelled, and started to drain a massive amount of energy from the core. This caused Fodra to fall to the ground and turn back into a Little Queen.

Everyone watched with wide eyes as they watched Asbel absorb all the energy from the core. "Asbel!" Sophie said, getting worried. The reason she was getting worried was because Asbel was starting to jerk from all the energy going into him. A few seconds later, Asbel let out a blinding light.

When the light faded, everyone was in the same space Asbel, Lambda, and Agate talked to each other. "Wh-Where are we?" Cheria asked everyone. "Welcome. We are inside Fodra's consciousness." Lambda said to everyone. "Feel free to talk as you normally would here." Agate said to everyone.

That's when everyone noticed Lambda and Agate were walking out of Asbel, who was standing away from everyone and facing them. "A-Asbel?" Hubert asked Asbel. "No, we are Lambda and Agate." Lambda said to Hubert through Asbel's mouth, surprising everyone.

"Where's Asbel!?" Sophie asked Lambda and Agate. "At ease, Protos Heis. No need to rush to conclusions. He is still alive." Lambda said to Sophie. "And he can hear us talking, he's just tired from that little stunt of ours." Agate said to Sophie.

"Unfortunately, even with my ability. We were unable to absorb all of Fodra. However, it did not end in failure. We were able to capture her heart, the part of her overrun by hate. The core should now return to normal, and in time regain its composure. Considering the way things ended, it may have been Fodra's own will to protect what precious life remains here. For now, I think it's best if we try to speak with her." Lambda said to everyone.

"Who?" Richard asked Lambda. "Is it not obvious?" Agate asked Richard. "With the heart of Fodra. Her animosity continues to swirl within us. We hope to understand her hatred, to melt it away, and eventually change it into trust." Lambda said to everyone. "But it won't be an easy process." Agate said to everyone.

"Who knows how long it may take. This could last a century or two, but we have the luxury of time." Lambda said to everyone. "That's so long. Does that mean that you two will be alone, just the two of you, all that time?" Sophie asked Lambda and Agate.

"We no longer consider ourselves alone in this world. Now with a friend who can live forever." Lambda said to Sophie. "M-Me?" Sophie asked Lambda. "Yes. We may have been enemies in the past, but we count you as our friend. And must ask you a favor, friend to friend." Agate said to Sophie.

"Watch over us as time goes by, Protos Heis. Please watch over my progress. We will start dreaming together with Fodra. In that dream, I hope that eventually we may form a kind of common understanding. Just as this man did for us. When we finally wake up, I think I would like to accompany her on a long journey. And see the world." Lambda said to Sophie.

"Now, the time has come. I shall return Absel to you." Lambda said to everyone. "And as a gift, I'll leave a little part of my powers in Asbel, to help protect him and his children. So when the time comes for us to start our journey, his family will still be a part of the world." Agate said to everyone, as a light blinding all of them.

When the light faded, everyone was back in reality, with William and Asbel back in their normal forms, with Asbel laying on the ground. "Ah! Asbel!" Sophie said, as everyone got up and ran to Asbel.

When they reached Asbel, Asbel started to walk up. "Sophie…" Asbel said to Sophie, before sitting up. Sophie then said to Asbel. "Lambda… Agate. He said he was going to dream with Fodra."

"Yeah. That's what I heard. I also know Agate left me a shard of his powers." Asbel said to Sophie, showing off a black circle on his chest. "Asbel. Are you okay?" Cheria asked Asbel. "Yeah. I think so." Asbel said to Cheria.

That's when they heard someone sniffing, and turned to see the last Little Queen crying. "Why are you crying?" Sophie asked the Little Queen, as she walked up to the Little Queen. But as soon as the Little Queen saw Sophie, she started to fire very weak bolts of yellow energy at her. But the energy was just a tap to Sophie.

"From this point on… I must fight… alone… All by myself… against the humans and Pokemon… that would destroy us!" The Little Queen said to Sophie, as she kept firing bursts of energy until she ran out of power, and everyone else stood up.

Sophie then took the Little Queen's hand and surprised the Little Queen. The Little Queen looked at Sophie with a sad look in her eyes. "You don't have to fight anymore. Everyone here… understands just how you feel." Sophie said to the Little Queen, as everyone walked up to Sophie and the Little Queen.

"Please believe me. Your dream will live on. It will be reassured and passed down among their children. Come with me, and we can watch over them. You and I together." Sophie said to the Little Queen, holding her hands out to everyone.

"Together…" The Little Queen said to Sophie, before she started to break apart. "I think I'm… out of time now…" The Little Queen said to everyone. "Will you… take what's… left of me… with you… please?" The Little Queen asked Sophie, holding out a hand to Sophie.

Sophie said nothing, and took her hand. "Take my feelings… and my hopes… for this world. Let it know… how I felt." The Little Queen said to Sophei, before she broke apart and her energy entered Sophie, letting out a massive burst of light.

When the light faded everyone looked to see Sophie had changed. She was now as tall as everyone else, she had long purple hair that went down to her knees, wearing a white dress with a flower-like end, long white legging, and long white glowed that went from her hands to just under her shoulders with a pink end.

"Sophie." Asbel said to Sophie. Sophie turned to everyone, and started to cry a little, with actual tears in her eyes. "You're… You're crying!" Asbel said to Sophie. "With real tears!" William said to Sophie.

"The Little Queen gave me all of her tears." Sophie said to everyone, whipping her tears, and feeling happy. Everyone laughed and felt happy for her. 'When Fodra is green once again. Let's come back to see it… Together again.' Sophie thought to the Little Queen, and looked at everyone giving her a big smile. "Everyone, let's go home… to Ephinea." Sophie said to everyone.

Some time later, everyone made it to Zavhert, to drop off Malik, Pascal, Arcanine, and Beheeyem. "Pascal, are you sure you want to be dropped off here?" Asbel asked Pascal. "Heck yea! I want some time to take a look around the city." Pascal said to Asbel. "You're going to investigate and see how the new valkines system is working, is that correct?" Malik asked Pascal. "Uh-hm, you got it! It would be totally irresponsible not to follow up." Pascal said to Malik. (Plus. So. She. Can. Avoid. Fourier.) Beheeyem said to everyone.

"I know we take it for granted, but Pascal is really amazing." Cheria said to everyone, with Sophie agreeing with her. "That's right and don't you forget it! Keep those compliments coming!" Pascal said to everyone.

"Ahem! Aren't you forgetting something, little sister?" A voice asked Pascal. "Huh?!" Pascal asked, as they noticed Fourier, Poisson, Aerodactyl, and Aurous walking up to them.

"Fourier. You came to see me!" Pascal said to Fourier. But that's when Fourier walked up to Pascal, looking mad. "See you? Yeah, right. I could smell you from a mile away! How many days has it been since your last bath?!" Fourier asked Pascal, grabbing Pascal's cheeks, and tilting Pascal's head. "I kinda forgot." Pascal said to Fourier.

This made Fourier let go of Pascal, and touch her head. "I give up. I refuse to look after you anymore!" Fourier said to Pascal, as Pascal tried to sneak away, but failed. Fourier then grabbed Pascal and held her up. "Anyone want to take a stray cat off my hands?" Fourier asked everyone.

"Hey! Let me go!" Pascal said to Fourier, trying to break free of Fourier grip. "Sorry, but I am more of a dog person actually. Isn't that right bud." Malik said to Fourier and Arcanine, while petting Arcanine. "Meow." Pascal said, acting like a sad cat.

(You man is right here.) Inteleon said to Fourier, pointing to Hubert, surprising Hubert. Fourier then handed Pascal to Hubert, and Hubert grabbed Pascal. "Better scrub her down just like you would a stray cat." Fourier said to Hubert, surprising Hubert.

"Meow. Go easy on me, okay? Meow!" Pascal said to Hubert, acting like a cat. This caused Hubert to drop her. "You don't need my help to take a bath!" Hubert said to Pascal, getting embarrassed. "Geez, Little Bro, you're scarier than Fourier." Pascal said to Hubert, as she sat up.

"Stop calling me that! My name is Hubert! Can't you remember that?!" Hubert asked Pascal, acting tough. Pascal then stood up. "Hmph, okay. Hey, I know. I'll call you "Hu"." Pascal said to Hubert.

"Hu? Uh…" Hubert asked, as Pascal walked away from him. "Okay, Guys. I gotta run. See ya later, Hu!" Pascal said to Huebrt, as she turned to him, and wincked goodbye, surprising Hubert.

"This is goodbye for us too." Malik said to everyone. (Don't be strangers.) Arcanine said to everyone. "Thank you for everything, Captain Malik. You too, Pascal, take care of Arcanine and Beheeyem." Asbel said to them. "Goodbye, everyone." Sophie said to everyone. "Until then." Richard said to everyone, before everyone bowed to each other and started to leave, with Hubert not moving.

Pascal then grabbed Fourier's hand and pulled it up, as Pascal and Poisson raised both their hands. "Bye, guys! See ya around!" Pascal said to everyone, as they waved goodbye.

That's when Malik moved up to Hubert and put an arm around his shoulder. "It takes a lot of energy to tame a stray cat. So hang in there." Malik quietly said to Hubert, before giving Hubert his communicator, and forcing Hubert forward with a pat on the back. "See ya around." Malik said to Hubert. Hubert waved goodbye before joining the other on the shuttle.

Their next stop was Yu Liberte, dropping off Hubert and Inteleon "Don't forget to swing by Lhant. Mom would love to see you." Asbel said to Hubert. "Don't worry. Besides, I'm sure I'll be back for your wedding." Hubert said to Asbel, surprising Asbel and Cheria. "Wh-What?!" Asbel asked Hubert.

"Don't tell me that you still haven't talked to the poor girl." Hubert quietly said to Asbel. "Like you're one to talk." Asbel said to Hubert. "At least I tried to talk to her. She just didn't really get what I said." Hubert said to Asbel. "Then it's no different." Asbel said to Hubert.

Then Hubert and Asbel stared at each other in silence. "Those two are so much alike in the strangest of ways." Richard said to everyone. (Not that they would admit it.) Skarmory said to everyone. "How are they alike?" Sophie asked Richard. "Don't worry. You'll understand someday." Richard said to Sophie. "We'll talk about it once we get home." William said to Sophie.

"Cheria?" Richard asked Cheria. "Uh, yes?" Cheria asked Ricahrd. "Your relief work has been invaluable to us. However… I wouldn't want you to lose sight of your own happiness. It would be most tragic if an angel of joy such as yourself decided to abandon her own contentment." Richard said to Cheria.

"He's right. You two have been pushing things off for long enough, it's about time you two talk about the most important feeling." William said to Cheria. "And besides, your happiness is Sophie and Asbel's happiness as well." Richard said to Cheria. "Thank you Richard and William.

"I just wouldn't feel right if I moved on and left you behind." Hubert said to Asbel. "I don't know. You kinda sound like a sore loser." Asbel said to Hubert. "Tell her how you feel if you don't want to end up being a total loser." Hubert said to Asbel. Then Asbel and Hubert then fist bumped each other with a smile on their faces.

"Well all right then. I think that's my cue to leave." Hubert said to everyone. "Bye-bye, Hubert and Inteleon." Sophie said to Hubert and Inteleon, before they got into the shuttle and took off.

Their next stop was the castle in Barona. When they got there Duke Dalen and Corviknight greeted them. "Thank Goodness you're safe, my lord!" Duke Dalen said to Richard. (Yes, I was worried the eggs would hatch without you two.) Corviknight said to Skarmory.

"I apologize for making you worry." Richard said to Duke Dalen. (And like I'd miss my eggs hatching.) Skarmory said to Corviknight. Then Duke Dalen and Corviknight went back inside the castle, with Richard and Skarmory following them.

But Richard and Skarmory stopped and turned to see the Valkines Rayqndi. "This latest excursion reminded me all the more of how precious peace is. I want to build a future for Windor, for Ephinea, and for Fodra. There is more than enough prosperity to go around now. But I still have much to learn before I make that dream a reality. When Peace is restored, I'd like to see more of the world with Skarmory and her kids. Asbel, Sophie, William? When the time comes, will you accompany us on that journey? Richard asked everyone.

"Of course!" Sophie said to Richard. "Sure. You know it." Asbel said to Ricahrd. "Like you have to ask. We still haven't had our trip, one that didn't involve the end of the world." William said to Richard. "Whenever you're ready, we can all meet once again at Lhant Hill." Asbel said to Richard. "Okay!" Richard said to Asbel, with everyone nodding in agreement.

"All right. We must be off. Thank you for everything." Richard said to everyone, before he and Skarmory went into the castle.

While walking to the port, the girls walked ahead of everyone, and Asbel pulled William back. "So, are you going to ask her the question?" Asbel asked William. "No not yet. I know she's the one for me, but we've been through a lot, and I want the moment to be perfect." William said to Asbel.

"Far enough." Asbel said to William. "But don't worry, I will do it soon, and I'll show you how it's done. So when it's time for you to propose to Cheria, you'll know what to do." William said to Asbel, with a sheepish smile on his face, making Asbel blush bright red.

A few minutes later they reached the port. "Well, I suppose.. I should get back to my relief work." Cheria said to everyone, as she started to walk away with Gardevoir. "Oh. Yeah, right. Good luck… out there." Asbel said to Cheria. Gardevoir and Boltund looked at each other for a second, before hitting Asbel and Cheria back, forcing them closer to each other.

"I… uh… I have to go. Bye." Cheria said to Asbel, getting nervous and moving away from Asbel. (Good try, but their nerves are getting the better of them.) Swampert said to Gardevoir and Boltund.

"Asbel, what about your promise?" Sophie asked Asbel. "Yeah, don't chicken out now. This might be your last chance." William said to Asbel. Asbel then felt confident, and took a few steps forward. "Cheria!" Asbel said to Cheria, making Cheria stop and turn to him. "I know I'm always really bad with words, but please… if it's okay with you… I want you to come live with me." Asbel said to Cheria, surprising Cheria.

Then things went quiet, with everyone waiting to see what Cheria would say, but when she didn't Asbel say something. "I know you have a lot of things to do. So I won't ask you to come back immediately. I'll be the one waiting for you to come back home this time. Sophie and I will wait… for as long as it takes. All right?" Asbel asked Cheria.

"Asbel…" Cheria said to Asbel, as everyone felt happy. Sophie then ran up to Cheria, grabbing Cheria's hands, and spun Cheria around.

"Cheria, last night, I had the strangest dream. I was playing with children, one that looked like Asbel with your hair, another looked like William, a third looked like Hubert but with red hair, and the lace once looked like Alice but with blue hair. And after a while I finally figured out who they were. They were you and Asbel's grandson, along with William and Alice, Hubert and Pascal's grandkids." Sophie said to Cheria, with Cheria the only one who heard her.

"Tell me Sophie. Would you be happy if that dream came true?" Cheria asked Sophie, grabbing Sophie's shoulders. "Will it come true?!" Sophie asked Cheria. "Well, it just might. "I would be so happy if that really came true!" Sophie said to Cheria. "That's good." Cheria said to Sophie, before hugging her.

That's when everyone else walked up to Cheria and Sophie. "Sophie? Asbel? When I come home… I'm gonna make you all of your favorite foods. But only if you promise to eat everything up. Deal?" Cheria asked everyone. "Mm-Hm!" Sophie said to Cheria, nodding her head.

Cheria and Asbel smiled at Sophie. Sophie then grabbed Asbel and Cheria's arm and they walked together, like a family, with smiles on their faces, and their Pokemon following them.

"They seem happy." Alice said to William. "They earned it. Now come on, a bright future is calling us. So let's go and see what the future will bring." William said to Alice, as he held out his hand. Alice took his hand, and they ran after Sophie, Cheria, Asbel, and all of their Pokemon, with Swampert and Swanna following them, all of them ready to take on whatever the future will bring.

THE FUTURE

In the far future, Sophie was playing with the four kids and their Pokemon, with Golurk watching them. "Once there was a young boy who discovered a lost seed. He planted it in his yard and he took care of it every day. Over time, the lost seed grew up and blossomed into a beautiful flower. What do you think happened to the seed after that?" Sophie asked everyone.

But no one said anything. "It turned into a bright, shining star that watched over everyone! This way its way of thanking the boy who had been so very kind to it." Sophie said to the kids.

Then the kid that looked like William pointed to the tree, which had Lambda and Agate on it now. "Which star was it? Well… it's the one we all know best. Our favorite star of all…" Sophie said to everyone, but was interrupted by a male voice. "Our little flower Sophie." The male voice said, getting everyone's attention.

Everyone turned to see William and Swampert standing on the edge of the flower field. Swampert looked very old, and had a handful of wrinkles on him. For William, his hair was really long and was all gray, he was now wearing black robes with red, green, and blue lines around it, his spear's head was broken off and it was just a walking stick, and his left eye was completely faded and was blind.

"Grandpa Moore!" All the kids said, as they rushed William. "Whoa, easy, I'm not as sturdy as I look." William said to the kids. (These kids never seem to run out of energy.) Swampert said to everyone. (What do you expect grandpa? We're your grandkids?) Ducklett said to Swampert, making Swampert laugh. (That you are.) Swampert said to Ducklett.

"Grandpa, Sophie was telling us about this special flower." The kid that looked like William said to William. "Oh, that story. Truly a lovely tale. But not our biggest tale." William said to the kids. "It's not. Then what is your biggest tale?" The kid that looked like Asbel asked William

"Tell us, tell us, tell us." All the kids said to William, jumping around. "All right. All right. I'll tell you the tale. But everyone must sit down." William said to everyone. The kids then all sat down, but were really eager for William's story.

Swampert then helped William sit down, before laying right behind him acting like a back pillow. "Okay, this tale started long ago, and your parents played a big part in it. It all began when a Phantom meddled with six heroes called The Mysticons." William said to everyone, as he began to tell his tale.

Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter. Please follow or review if you like this story. Well everyone, it's over, I hope you have a good time reading it. I'll post the first chapter of Mysticons And The Great Powers of Pokemon tomorrow.
