(DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POKÉMON OR BEN 10! POKÉMON BELONGS TO GAMEFREAK/NINTENDO! BEN 10 BELONGS TO MAN OF ACTION STUDIOS/CARTOON NETWORK STUDIOS/WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY).
(Late one night, in a bustling city, a helicopter with two criminals. They had gotten with a bag of jewels and were now making their escape).
Criminal #1: The perfect crime... We got the loot and made a clean getaway. (But then Buzzwole flies up beside them and says).
Buzzwole: Oh, I would not say that. And My name's Buzzwole, and this joyride's over. Land this thing now. (One of the Robbers grabs a Blaster and begins firing at Buzzwole who dodges them. They chase after Buzzwole and keep firing at him. They Fly past an Office where a Man is working. Their Commotion gets his attention as he looks out the window. As Buzzwole flies away with the robbers flying after him, the helicopter blades scrapped against a building wall). Want to play rough, huh? Now you see me, (He fires his Toxic attack at them, covering up the windshield) now you do not. (Then he flies out of the way of the helicopter and then fires another dousing of his Toxic attack at the helicopter blades. Causing them to stop working as one of Criminals shouts).
Criminal #1: We are out of control! We are gonna crash! (The Helicopter crashes into the nearby lake but the Robbers have already parachuted out of the helicopter. But then Buzzwole swoops in and grabs them one by one. Before throwing them to the ground, before the police arrive to arrest them. While Buzzwole flies to the rooftop of a nearby building and lands just in time as the Pokétrix times out. Then Ash looks over the edge building feeling confident about his skills).
Ash: This is almost getting too easy. (He then says out into the distance feeling noticeably confident that no one could beat him). Is there not a villain left out there who can give me a challenge? (Oblivious to Ash, he is not alone. As watching him from a nearby building is a Mystery Adversary holding a Steady glare on him).

(The following morning, at a summer camp, Mohn, and Zoroark are carrying a bag for a boy joining them. They were heading back to the Northern Star. On the boys Shoulder was his Pokémon Partner, a Chickorita).
Boy: Thanks for giving me a ride back home from summer camp, Mr. Ketchum. With my parents out of the country and my grandpa sick with the flu, I thought I might have to walk home.
Chickorita: We really appreciate it.
Mohn: Well, I am glad your grandpa called. In the end, what are old friends for? And I know you are gonna like Ash, Pikachu, Iris, and Axew. They are a ton of fun. (They walk into the Northern Star). Hi, guys. This is Horace, the Grandson of an old Ultra Ranger friend of mine. (But then they look over and see and Ash and Iris are in the middle of argument over a cell phone. As Pikachu and Axew watch helplessly).
Iris: Doofus! Give me it. You are wasting time!
Ash: I heard it first, and I now get to call. (Over the Radio a DJ Says).
DJ: Okay, it is time to pick the winning caller to the premiere of "Ash Ketchum the Half Ghost Knight Hero: Knight Planet" and meet the cast at a special V.I.P. Party after the movie. (Ash finally Manages to pry the phone from Iris' hands and takes it to the table and holds it up to his ear when Iris rushes to sit beside him and take the phone to hold it with him. Then the DJ says over the Phone). Hello. You are Lucky caller number 10. (Then Ash and Iris begin fighting over the phone again).
Ash: I won! Give me the phone!
Iris: You won? No, I Won. Let me talk to him!
Pikachu: Come on Guys.
Axew: Stop fighting over this.
DJ: Hello? Is anybody... (As they keep fighting over the phone, Iris grabs the phone and presses the button causing the phone to hang up). Well, I guess we will see if the next caller wants those tickets. (Ash gets angry with Iris for blowing his chances at getting the tickets).
Ash: You owe me one ticket to the premiere of "Phantom Planet"! (He says pointing at here but not before she smacks his hand away).
Iris: Yes, right! If I had a ticket, I certainly would not give it to a mega loser like you. (But then Horace says).
Horace: I Have an extra ticket to the premiere. (This surprises Ash and Iris as they ask simultaneously).
Both: What?
Horace: My Uncle worked on the movie. He got me two V.I.P. Tickets. One of you could go with me if you want. (Iris pushes Ash away and runs up to Horace, to introduce herself).
Iris: Where are my manners? Hi Horace, I am Iris, and this is Axew. (She then gestures to Pikachu). And that is Pikachu.
Axew: It is nice to meet you.
Pikachu: Hello Horace.
Iris: I would l to go to the premiere with you. (But then Ash goes and pushes Iris out of the way, telling her).
Ash: Back off, Cootie Queen! Because I got dibs on that extra ticket. (From a distance Mohn says).
Mohn: This should be interesting.
Zoroark: No doubt. (It was sure to get interesting with Horace and Chickorita joining them).
(Meanwhile at a heavily armed yet publicly operated building. A woman is giving a tour to a group of people).
Tour Guide: The Pokéball Factory is proud to be home to the Pokémon World federal Pokéball reserve, where over $100 Billion worth of gold Pokéballs are in storage. Of course, for obvious security reasons, (She says gesturing to the three security guards keeping them back). the actual vault is off-limits to the public. Now if you follow me, we will continue our tour. (The Woman leads the crowd of people away. But three strangers in dark trench Coats and hats, obscuring their faces hang back. They walk up to the vault when a Soldier stops them).
Soldier: Halt! This is a restricted area. We will escort you back to the public section of the base. (But then one of the strangers' smirks as the three strangers take off their cloaks revealing their true identities, as the Skuntank Powered Tupp, Zipp with Emboar strength, and the Delphox Hair wielding Rapp, the Circus Freaks Trio!).
Tupp: There is no need for violence. (They keep going revealing a fourth individual with them... Xerosic! And he pulls his Hypnotic Pendulum to begin his Hypnotic scheme).
(Back in the Northern Star, the Kids, Pikachu, Axew, and Chickorita were sitting together. While Horace kept talking about himself).
Horace: And I have always been incredibly good with computers and stuff like that. (Iris then shows him her computer turning it to show the screen).
Iris: Then you will love this. It is the new XT9,000 with satellite uplink. Use it whenever you like. (But Ash sees right through Iris knowing what she is trying to pull here).
Ash: No fair! That is Bribery!
Iris: Oh? And what do you call this? (She reaches over and pulls out a gift basket with a label that says, "For Horace").
Ash: Iris, we are not all as selfish as you are. A part of us enjoys sharing. (Then Pikachu and Axew try to ease the tension by asking Chickorita a question).
Axew: Hey Chickorita?
Chickorita: Yes Axew?
Pikachu: Are you Horace's first Pokémon?
Chickorita: Sure Am. And I hope to have a fun time with you all. (Pikachu and Axew share amused looks with each other at the sound of that).
Pikachu: I think that would be a guarantee.
Axew: If you had been through half of the things, we have been through this summer you would know that you were biting more than you undoubtedly chew. (But then Ash and Iris take over the situation again with their bickering).
Iris: I am telling Grandpa.
Ash: That what, you are a big doofus? (Then Mohn calls for Ash and Pikachu).
Mohn: Ash, Pikachu, get up here. (Iris likes the sound of this).
Iris: Ooh! Busted! (But then Mohn says).
Mohn: You too, Iris. (Iris gasps in worry fearing the worst).
Zoroark: Pikachu and Axew we need you as well.
Mohn: Look at this. (He shows them the Footage of the Vault inside the Pokéball Factory). I just picked this up from one of the security cameras at The Pokéball Factory. (They watch as Zipp, Tupp, and Rapp enter the Vault before Tupp stops at seeing the Security Camera and sends his bad breath that melts the camera, cutting off the feed. Before they could finish processing, they hear Horace ask as Chickorita is sitting on his shoulder).
Horace: So, what is up with those Freaks on the video? (Ash tries to cover it up saying nervously).
Ash: It is just a... Video of, uh, music, no I mean, uh, music video, starring that new group, uh... (Then Iris and Axew join in trying to rationally explain it to him).
Iris: Psycho Circus Freaks. (Horace and Chickorita gives them a "are you serious?" look. Before he says to them).
Horace: That boring story is the best you all can think of? (They are surprised to hear that from Horace), My grandpa was an Ultra Ranger, too, remember? Mohn and Zoroark told him all about you all and the Pokétrix and the Spellbook and everything. (They look to Mohn and Zoroark who just shrug their shoulders, not seeing anything wrong with what they did. Then Horace reiterates his question to them). So, what is up with the Freaks in the video?
Chickorita: Come on Fess up.
(A Short time later, they arrive at the Pokéball Factory right outside of Laverre City. Mohn and Zoroark are having second thoughts about bringing Horace and Chickorita).
Mohn: Likely Horace and Chickorita should stay here.
Zoroark: It could be dangerous. (But then Ash assures Mohn that he and Pikachu will keep them safe).
Ash: We will keep an eye on him, Grandpa. He will expectedly want to see the Pokétrix in action, anyway. (Pikachu nods for the "keep on eye on him" part. Not the ulterior motive behind it, that Iris Picks up on here. As she shakes her head in annoyment of what Ash is doing here).
(A Couple of minutes later the Ketchum's, their Pokémon and Horace with Chickorita are walking through what looks like a Deserted Pokéball Factory. As Ash asks).
Ash: Where is everybody?
Pikachu: I would think a Factory would have tons of people working everyone. But there is no one in sight. (They walk around and see two security guards clucking and moving around like Torchic's. As Mohn points out).
Mohn: They have all undergone hypnosis to think they are Torchic's.
Ash: Since when can the Circus Freaks hypnotize people?
Zoroark: That is a good question. (Then Chickorita feels the need to ask).
Chickorita: I suppose this is normal for you all? (For the moment they ignore Chickorita's Question. They move to the opened Vault Door which has all the marks of one specific Circus Freak Member. One that Ash recognizes at once).
Ash: Now, this seems more like Tupp's handiwork. (The Mere Mention of his causes Iris and Axew to recoil in disgust).
Iris: Freak vomit? Ugh! Gross with a capital "G."
Axew: You know that is right. (But then a stray laser blasts almost hits them. They look up and see A Couple of security guards are there on a bridge firing at them. But they are drooling as they fire. Indicating that are too under hypnosis. The group goes and hides behind a stack of crates for safety as Horace asks).
Horace: Why are they firing at us? We are good guys.
Iris: Yes, we get that a ton. (Then Chickorita feels the need to ask again since they did not answer him the first time).
Chickorita: Again, Is this normal for you all?! (Ash turns to the Pokétrix and activates it as Pikachu jumps into Iris' hands).
Ash: Those Torchic's are gonna get fried. (Ash goes Hero becoming Sceptile as Horace and Chickorita geek out about it).
Horace: Whoa! That is even cooler in person than grandpa described it.
Chickorita: That would be a massive understatement. (Sceptile goes and blows Raspberry's in Iris' face).
Sceptile: Pbht! Do you think That is cool? Watch this. (Ash goes and zooms away grabbing the Clucking guards and puts them in barrels. Before moving to the upper bridge where the soldiers who were shooting at them are. Sceptile does not want to hurt them if he can). Look, I do not want to hurt you all. (But they do not feel the same way as they open fire on him). Guess the feelings are not mutual. (He goes and bashes them, hitting on with Leaf Blade, kicks another, before giving a third an Iron Tail attack. Once he defeated them, he clapped his hand in a Cleaning up motion. But then a blast from somewhere blows the bridge below his feet open, and Sceptile falls to the floor knocked out. The Blast was from a two-man blaster. Sceptile lies on the ground unconscious. But then another soldier goes and prepares a blaster of its own on Mohn, Zoroark, Iris, Axew, and Pikachu. While Horace and Chickorita were missing from the group).
(The Guard was about to fire on them when they heard a beeping noise and a forklift with no driver rams into the guard knocking it into a wall saving them. As Iris asks, amazed to see Horace the cause of it).
Iris: How Did you do that? (Axew and Pikachu are equally amazed as well).
Axew: It was amazing.
Pikachu: Please tell us.
Horace: I said I was incredibly good with mechanical stuff. (Horace said holding up a wrench. As Chickorita then says).
Chickorita: That is Horace for ya.
Zoroark: I am just grateful for not becoming into Swiss cheese at their hands. (Zoroark said with a small chuckle. Just then Sceptile regains consciousness from the blast and is unharmed).
(Moments later, Sceptile speeds into the vault as the others follow him with Iris and Axew managing to keep their lunch after seeing Tupp's work on the Vault door. But when they get into the Vault, they are in shock at what they see).
Iris: All the Gold's still here. (This does not make sense to Ash, given what he knows about the Circus Freaks, including the time he saw them commit robberies during his first encounter with them).
Axew: Not a bar is gone. But why is that?
Sceptile: Okay, so, the Circus Freaks break into the toughest bank in the world, hypnotize the guards into thinking they are Torchic's, but forget to steal any of the Gold?
Pikachu: This seems very uncharacteristically of them. (But then Horace and Chickorita get their attention).
Horace: Likely they are after something else. Check this out.
Chickorita: Guys. Over here. (They see Horace and Chickorita standing by an open entrance to somewhere).
(They all walk down the path and into a basement like Area. With Sceptile arriving first before the Pokétrix times out turning Ash back to his normal self).
Ash: Whoa. What is this place? (Then Pikachu comes and then climbs up to Ash's Shoulder and sits there as Mohn answers his question).
Mohn: A blast from the past. It is an old Ultra Ranger's base.
Ash: Like the one at Mount Moon?
Mohn: Not exactly. (Mohn and Zoroark begin walking through the basement looking at the various gadgets and pieces from the past on various shelves. Zoroark feels a bit of Nostalgia that makes him smile a little). At the height of the Ultra Rangers, a part of these satellite complexes was set up around the country in hidden locations, like this one. (But now everything looked old and dusty). Once we brought down Necrozma for the first time, these annexes were no longer necessary anymore, so we eventually shut them all down.
Zoroark: And they all ended up just like this one. (But this begs Iris to Ask).
Iris: But what did the Circus Freaks want here, then?
Axew: Could there have been something here they wanted?
Mohn: I do not know, and That is what really bothers me. (Mohn scratches his head in perplexment. While Zoroark crosses his arms trying to wrack his brain for an answer to Axew's question).
Zoroark: That is a good question Axew. But I doubt there is a conclusive answer to it since the old and dusty state and conditions of everything here. If they did take anything it would chance be so old and decomposed it could not work as effectively as it did when made. (But on a shelf behind Mohn and Zoroark is an empty shelf with an imprint from an item that was there).
(Meanwhile, at a warehouse, the Circus Freaks and Xerosic were together with an odd-looking thing they took from the Ultra Rangers Base, the Ketchum's were just at. But they were unhappy with how their robbery went despite having been successful at it).
Tupp: I am telling ya... this guy's brainpan is empty. (They glance at the thing they took). Look at this stupid piece of junk. (Suddenly something flies by and snatches the device out of Tupp's hand before flying away). Rahh! (It lands on a metal girder above them holding the Device in its Mouth. Then it lands the ground and sets its held items down before holding the device up for his master. Its master was an individual with a black cloak, a mask of ice with two black eyes and a black mouth, and long white locks of hair. But from beneath the black Cloak was a high-tech Metal Suit with a Rainbow Colored "R" on the Chest. He was the leader of this Group; he was the Masked Man).
Masked Man: Is there a problem? (Tupp cuts straight to the chase here, making his displeasure with the situation clear).
Tupp: Yes. Bad enough you stick us with the amazing Mr. Nerd here (He says pointing to Xerosic), but then we pull off the heist of the century and do not even have a gold tooth to show for it. (He pulls down the Bandanna over his mouth to show his horribly discolored and rotten teeth. But the Masked Man is not all bothered by this).
Masked Man: I find your lack of faith disturbing, Mr. Tupp. Or may I call you "Tupp"? (Tupp does not like the Put down the Masked Man is giving him).
Tupp: From now on, you can call me "Boss", because I am taking over this operation.
Masked Man: Since only one of us can have that honor, allow me to cast my vote. (He then addresses the Pokémon who took the device from Tupp). Go Sirfetch'd. (Sirfetch'd goes and stands up picking his sword and Shield and is ready for Combat. Rapp goes and attacks Sirfetch'd with her Psychic attack but uses Detect to protect himself before going and attacking her with Brutal Swing. This Causes her to get so Disoriented that her Hair ends up wrapping around Tupp and knocks him out while she is still standing. Then he gives her a Leaf Blade attack that knocks her out. But then Zipp come to attack Sirfetch'd with his Superpower attack, but he simply uses Iron Defense to block it before moving away and striking him Meteor Assault knocking him into a box and smashing it in the process. And Tupp is now unconscious. Then the Masked Man seeing no more resistance resumes what he was doing saying). Now that we have settled that, let us get back to our business at hand, shall we?
(Back in the Northern Star, the RV is driving along with no one at the wheel which causes a bit of worry in Ash, Iris, Pikachu, and Axew. Ash then asks Mohn).
Ash: Uh...Grandpa, who's Driving?
Pikachu: Cause if there is no driver then I am going to freak out.
Zoroark: Relax Pikachu it is okay. (Then Mohn says to calm Ash and Pikachu's worries).
Mohn: Autopilot. Horace rigged it up. Real work saver. (They look over and see Horace and Chickorita at a table with Safety goggles on. Horace has a circuit breaker in front of him and has a Soldering Iron as well. But Horace just says explaining it to them).
Horace: Grandpa says that my brain must look like the inside of a computer.
Chickorita: My Horace is one smart cookie. (Axew gets excited at the mention of the snack food. He runs over to ask).
Axew: Cookie? Cookie?! (But then Chickorita says letting him easily).
Chickorita: Sorry Axew. Figure of Speech. (Axew feels a little saddened by this).
Axew: Aww. (Iris then picks up Axew. Then Mohn has a Monitor come out and display a map of the region they are in. They see multiple dots all over the displayed map in certain spots).
Mohn: These dots stand for all the closed Ultra Ranger facilities.
Zoroark: The ones that served us well back then. (But then Iris spots something interesting on the map).
Iris: Hey, why is the one in Opelucid City, flashing?
Pikachu: Could something be going on there?
Mohn: It is an alarm. That cannot be a coincidence. (Ash gets excited by the idea of it).
Ash: Let us go kick a couple of Circus Freak butts! (But then Mohn mentions the Problem with that).
Mohn: Unfortunately, even in Turbo mode, it is doubtful we could get there in time to stop them.
Zoroark: Highly doubtful.
Horace: Well, while you all were playing two squares, I did end up messing around with the turboboost system a little. (They all get excited at the sound of this as everyone rushes to take a seat and puts their seatbelts on while Mohn and Horace with Chickorita on his lap go to sit at the front of the RV).
Mohn: Okay. Let us put the spurs to her and see if she has a bit of extra giddy up. (Mohn presses a button activating the turboboost system. And in seconds they are moving at speeds that could easily surpass Sceptile at his fastest speeds. They are moving so fast in fact that their faces are sagging from the RV's extreme speeds as Ash admits).
Ash: It for sure has a bit of speed. (Then Pikachu adds).
Pikachu: That would be the understatement of the year. (They would be arriving at their destination of Opelucid City in no time).
(In no time they arrived in Opelucid City, but it was now dark out, and the turboboost was still going strong).
Mohn: We are coming up in downtown Opelucid City. We should throw out the anchor and start slowing this puppy down. (Hearing this Horace and Chickorita got nervous).
Horace: Uh-oh. (Iris and Axew worry what that "Uh-Oh" means before assuming the worst).
Iris: Please tell me that you did not forget the super-duper brakes to go with the super-duper turbo. (Ash gives Pikachu to Iris before Activating the Pokétrix).
Ash: Do not worry, because I got your back. (Ash goes hero and then he is gone. They hear noises coming from the roof of the RV. It was Aggron, trying to keep his balance and not fall off the RV).
Aggron: Whoa! Major windage. (He almost falls off but gets his footing. He then throws Rock Tomb in front of the RV in hopes of slowing it down. But it fails and the RV keeps going Strong). So much for speed bumps. (From the Driver's seat, Mohn says).
Mohn: Ash, I hate to bother you, but we could really use a brake here. (Ash then gets another idea, he uses his Stone Edge to make a Rope around a Large Rock from his Rock Tomb attack. He then throws back behind the RV to function as an Anchor. At first it was not working but then the RV slowly came to a stop at last, parking near a building. Iris, Axew, and Pikachu get out as Aggron jumps down before the others join them).
Aggron: What would I tell you? No problem. (But then Iris points out the obvious after problem here).
Iris: Tell that to the city road crew. (But then they suddenly hear a group of people screaming as they run out of the nearby building. Following them is a humongous swarm of Beedrill coming out of the building and into the air. Leaving the group in shock).
Aggron: O-Kay, I knew the Circus Freaks had flies, but Beedrill? (The Beedrill all tackle the Group making Iris scream).
Iris: Aah! (The Beedrill also tackle Aggron into a car. Then the Beedrill come together before bursting apart revealing a familiar face that the Ketchum's and co have not seen for an exceptionally long time!).
Iris: That is Guzma!
Axew: No Way!
Aggron: The bug guy. I thought he was gone for good. (Guzma was here and now. Right before their very eyes and was wearing a Heavy coat covering up his arms and legs. He also on a hood over his head.
Pikachu: I cannot believe it. (Then Guzma attacks them, sending a swarm of Beedrill to attack them).
Guzma: Aaah! (Aggron responds using Iron Defense to raise an Iron shield to protect them. But a couple of the Beedrill respond by using Brick Break and swiftly destroy the Iron Shield. But then Aggron jumps over the wreckage of the iron shield and lands on the ground before firing a Flash Cannon attack at Guzma. The attack hits him dead on, when the smoke clears the group makes a horrifying discovery about Guzma. They discovered that it was not Guzma at all! Attacking them was a terrifying Bug Pokémon. On top of its head is a threateningly exceptionally large pair of spiky gray pincers with even larger spikes. In its mouth are multiple long, horizontally flat teeth, with menacing triangular yellow eyes. While it does have short and thick legs and arms that are exceptionally long and thin, the three claws on its hand and feet are nothing to take lightly as they are sharp and deadly. Along with the T-shaped spike on each of the forearms. But its most useful tool was the large pair of clear, yellow wings on its back. Everyone was horrified by this discovery. This was not Guzma, it was a... MEGA PINSIR! Mega Pinsir sent a wave of Beedrill to attack them, even lifting Horace alone up to him. But then Iris recited a spell to attack).
Iris: Galeas zipuctus! (The Spell conjures a strong wind that blows the Beedrill carrying Horace away before catching him and setting him down on the ground safe from harm).
Horace: Thanks. You saved my life. (Then Chickorita jumps into his arms, relieved he was okay).
Chickorita: Horace! Thank goodness you are okay. (Chickorita turns to Iris to thank her). Thank you, Iris. (She simply smiles at them and says).
Iris: Hey, what are friends for? (She puts her arm around Horace's shoulder and leads him away, as they pass by Aggron she sticks her tongue and blows Raspberries at him, like when he did the same back at the Pokéball Factory). Pbht! (He simply grits his teeth at her).
(A Short time later, the group arrives at a building and rush to an elevator. Once inside the elevator, Mohn presses a series of buttons on the panel).
Mohn: The Ultra Rangers Annex is near the top. (In a matter of moments, the screen says "Access Granted"). The Circus Freaks are by chance still up there. (Zoroark then says Sarcastically).
Zoroark: I wonder what other surprises await us there.
Pikachu: For Our Sake, I do not want any more guest surprises for a little while now.
Axew: Me too.
Chickorita: I do not know what you all deal with on a regular basis, but I want a bit of peace too. (But then moments later the elevator group feels the elevator shake as something hits them from above the elevator car. Causing the elevator to come to a stop).
Iris: What is that noise?
Aggron: It is coming from on top of the elevator. (But then the top of their elevator car rips open and yet another Familiar face from a long time ago greets them. But Mohn is the first to recognize her).
Mohn: Aldith. How would she get her Pokémon Tech back? (It was Aldith, the same woman who put both Mohn, Zoroark (and Later Pikachu) in the hospital and she was back and ready for revenge in her new suit. In her new suit, Aldith has on her chest is a logo resembling a shield with a blue P, with one side black and the other white, and an X on her Black officer's cap. Her suit included a stiff black uniform with a black face covering going over her mouth. Her Black officer's cap has a white X on the front).
Aldith: Sorry. (From her new and high-tech suit, she readies a pair of claws). This Elevator is no longer in service. Going down? (She slashes the cable sending them falling down the elevator shaft as she rides back up on the cable shouting to them). Goodbye.
(The Ketchum's are still falling closer to the ground in the elevator shaft when Aggron says).
Aggron: Emergency stop. (Aggron thrusts his arms into the wall of the elevator bursting through them and into the walls of the elevator shaft. The elevator keeps falling down the shaft as Aggron grits his teeth). Aah! Aah! (Then the elevator slowly comes to a stop. Everyone feels relieved at that).
(A Couple of minutes later, the group reaches the top of floor of the tower through an iron platform made by Aggron as they move up in the elevator shaft. They get out and find a hiding place. They see a Ginormous Hole in the wall before looking over and seeing Aldith emptying drawers, looking for something. But she is not alone, as they once again see another familiar face. Iris recognizes this person at once as...).
Iris: Merilyn? (... Merilyn the evil niece to Butler. But remembered best as having switched bodies were her once. The group (minus Horace and Chickorita mostly) could not believe that yet another one of their villains is here). Is there anybody who does not hate us involved in this thing?
Axew: This is getting to be too crazy Iris!
Pikachu: I changed my mind. That is now the understatement of the year. (They watch as Aldith says to Merilyn, sounding happy about her thought to be victory of her targets from earlier).
Aldith: You should have seen the looks on their faces when I cut the Main Cable. Priceless. (Merilyn is not happy about this asking).
Merilyn: How come you got to slab them instead of me? (Then she smirks at Merilyn as she answers).
Aldith: Just Lucky, I guess. (Merilyn did not like the pun/joke that Aldith made just now. From their hiding place, Aggron relays a plan to take them on saying).
Aggron: We will divide up and surprise them from both sides. (But then Pikachu, whose head is still spinning from all their encounters and sightings of their multiple enemies says).
Pikachu: I just hope these two are the last villains we get to run into today. If not, who else? What are you going to do? Say that Dr. Oompa is right behind us? (Then as if to contract and prove poor Pikachu wrong, they hear yet another voice that is all too familiar to them).
Voice: ITS NAMBA! (They turn and to their Horror they see him). Hello, Ash. You are overdue for a visit from Dr. Namba. (It was Dr. Namba himself! Pikachu was wrong! And he says to himself knowing he jinxed himself).
Pikachu: Why Me? Why was I wrong? (But Dr. Namba was not alone as he brought a new Pokémon to the fight, a Giant Mutated Noivern. It attacks them with Boomburst sending the Group, mostly Aggron flying out the hole and onto the deck. Aggron lands on the edge of the platform but luckily does not go over the edge but still has very grave injuries by the Boomburst attack on him from Noivern. The others run up to him as the others check on him).
Mohn: Ash, are you okay? (But then Dr. Namba on his Giant Mutated Noivern bursts through a wall to confront them. This also draws the attention of both Merilyn and an Unhappy Aldith).
Aldith: You are still alive? (Aldith prepares a laser blaster in her gloves). You are making me look bad. (She fires the Blast at Iris and Axew. Iris thinks quickly reciting a counter spell).
Iris: Vortress nebulae! (The Spell conjures up a barrier that deflects Aldith's blast away protecting both her and Axew. Merilyn is not impressed with this).
Merilyn: An invisible-force Spell? That is all? You have had my Spellbook all this time, and you still have not taken off the training wheels? Either you are too stupid to conjure the more complex Spells, (She puts on a face of faux-fear and holds her hands together up to her face sounding scared) or you are just too scared to use 'em. You are no sorcerer. You are a joke. (Iris hates that insult to her Magic Skills having a truly angry look on her face. Axew hates it too, having seen her repeatedly show how top notch her Magic Skills are).
Iris: Ugh! (Axew then looks to Iris and says to her sounding cautious with a calm look on his face).
Axew: Iris? (Iris' expression does change as Axew says). I normally do not encourage Violence but, (Axew's expression changes to one of Anger and rage towards Marilyn as he shouts to Iris) KICK THAT MERILYN'S BUTT! (Iris smirks happy to hear that request from Axew as she nods at him. Then the group breaks off to fight their respective enemy. With Aggron going to fight Dr. Namba and his Mutant Noivern with Pikachu, Iris and Axew going to fight Merilyn, and Mohn goes to fight Aldith with Zoroark. Leaving Horace and Chickorita alone to watch them. Noivern is about to attack Aggron and Pikachu with Boomburst, when Aggron uses Iron Defense to make a shield to protect them both. Once the Boomburst hits the shield it breaks a piece of it off. Then Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on Noivern, but it dodges Pikachu's attack. Then Horace and Chickorita look over to see Iris and Axew fighting against a Magically flying Merilyn firing blasts at Iris and Axew, but she protects them both with her Barrier Spell. While Axew tries to hit Merilyn with his Dragon Rage attack, but then she keeps dodging them before flying away, and then they chase after her. While Mohn and Zoroark are fighting against Aldith, who tries to Punch Mohn but he dodges it and lifts her over his shoulder with great difficulty before managing to throw her away back towards the interior hall of the building before Zoroark hits her with Dark Pulse, intending to damage the suit rather than her. But then Mega Pinsir who was watching this from a wall above the hole that the others made before goes and tries to attack Mohn and Zoroark. While Aldith recovers quickly, she looks on the ground and sees right near her on the floor was odd looking device with an almost identical device to the ones the Circus Freaks stole earlier. She Smirks at this. While Mohn is barely able to avoid and fight off Mega Pinsir's fangs that are trying to bite him before he grabs Mega Pinsir by the Arm and throws him away. Then Zoroark acts Quickly and sends his most powerful Flamethrower attack that hits Mega Pinsir and does massive Damage to it. Mohn nods at Zoroark and he nods back. Then they see Aldith running out with the odd-looking device shouting).
Aldith: Got it! (Mohn and Zoroark see it and they what the object is as Zoroark says).
Zoroark: Mohn look! (Mohn's eyes go wide as he puts it together).
Mohn: The Key... of course! (He then shouts to the others). Hey somebody stop Aldith from getting away with that thing!
Zoroark: Ash Hurry! (Aggron and busy have their hands and Paws full since they are dealing with Dr. Namba and his Mutant Noivern. Aggron uses Stone Edge hitting Noivern and doing massive damage, before Pikachu joins in with a Volt Tackle attack that sends the two of them right over the edge of the building).
Dr. Namba: Aaah! Aaaaaah! (Pikachu's feels the recoil damage taking place. But then Ash sees Aldith and goes and tackles her to the ground. He readies a Metal Claw before threatening her).
Aggron: Hand it over, lady, or get your nose pierced the hard way. (But then his Pokétrix begins beeping and he times out. Ash, seeing that he is powerless now, laughs nervously at her, as she glares at him. He sees the device that Mohn and Zoroark were referring to in her hands and grabs it before running away. But then before he can get away, Aldith grabs him by the leg, making him trip and send it flying into the air).
Ash: Aah! (Luckily for the group, Horace happens to catch it).
Chickorita: Good Catch Horace. (Chickorita smiles at him, and he smiles back before seeing Mega Pinsir ready to attack them. He quickly comes up thinks of an idea and runs with it).
Horace: If you want this so bad, go to get it! (He throws the device over the edge of the building, and Mega Pinsir flies away. Horace and Chickorita think they are giving up but far from it really. As Someone flies behind them, Dr. Namba on his Mutant Noivern, and he holds something up to them, the Odd Device Horace threw over the edge. Horace backs away with Chickorita realizing the error in his plan. Meanwhile, an exhausted and too tired to attack Pikachu watches helplessly as Aldith holds Ash upside down by the leg. At least until Mega Pinsir comes and then picks her up in his arms and flies away with her. Meanwhile, Iris and Merilyn are about to begin their Magic Battle with Axew on Iris' side ready to help at any given moment. They Stare each other down, until Merilyn breaks the tension with a Faux-friendly smile and waves to them. They wonder what she is doing when Dr. Namba on his Giant Noivern comes by and picks her up in his Talons and flies away with her).
Dr. Namba: I wish I had time to teach you a lesson you so richly deserve, Ash, but we have a date to rule the world. (Their enemies were escaping with the odd-looking device they got in their clutches. As their enemies are flying away, drool from Mega Pinsir's mouth lands on Aldith, causing her to feel disgusted and ask).
Aldith: Hey, how come I am stuck with a ride from Mr. Maggot? (Then Merilyn sees the chance and decides to use Aldith's words from earlier against her).
Merilyn: Just Lucky, I guess. (Aldith glares at Merilyn not liking the irony present here. While the Ketchum's, Pikachu, Axew, Zoroark, Horace, and Chickorita all gather at the end and watch their enemies flying away. But Mohn and Zoroark have looks of fear and horror now knowing exactly what is going on. And know that is not good in the slightest).
(A Short time later, the Northern Star is driving along at super speeds again, as Mohn and Zoroark feel regret at not knowing the truth of what has been going on this whole time).
Mohn: Why did I not figure it out sooner? (Zoroark says to comfort Mohn).
Zoroark: It is okay Mohn, I did not know either. (But then Ash feels the need to ask).
Ash: What is so important about that thing, anyway? (A Flashback to Mohn and Zoroark's Past begins).
Mohn: A Long Time Ago, the Ultra Rangers helped capture a Forbidden Pokémon convict. As a show of gratitude, his race gave us a sample of what they called "Sub Energy", (A display case goes to an Ultra Ranger, in the case is what looks like a small energy core). A subatomic power source so powerful that it made our own nuclear plants look like windup toys by comparison. Despite its enormous potential for good, the Sub Energy was too unstable and dangerous to use. (The energy core is now behind a forcefield that activates as an Ultra Ranger walks away from it). The Ultra Rangers decided it should stay away for safekeeping within a Super-Secure Force Field inside the Mount Moon complex. (The Flashback ends).
Iris: And the only way to shut down the Force Field was to join the two odd-shaped Keys that they stole from here and The Pokéball Factory?
Mohn: I am afraid so.
Zoroark: An unfortunate detail.
Ash: How did the Circus Freaks figure all this stuff out?
Pikachu: This seems like something they are too stupid to even know about.
Mohn: The Circus Freaks could not figure out how to steal water from an aquarium. Whoever masterminded all of this has knowledge of the top-secret Ultra Ranger intel.
(A Little later, the Northern Star is arriving at their destination. Ash, Iris, Pikachu, and Axew look out the window and see that they are all alone in this big and open space).
Ash: Guess we beat them here. (But then a stray laser blast hits the RV forcing it to come to a stop. They screech to a stop before a giant cliffside ledge. The group all comes and then Stands beside Mohn, Zoroark, Horace, and Chickorita. And in mere seconds they all have the very same look of sheer fear and terror on their faces as they what is there on the Cliffside Ledge. It was all their Foes that they either saw or had to fight today. Including the Circus Freaks, Aldith, Dr. Namba, Sirfetch'd, Xerosic, Mega Pinsir, and Merilyn! They were all here, right before their eyes! Then the Masked Man walks out in front of the group and with the thud of his high-tech Metal Suit. Then he addresses the Ketchum's, their Pokémon, and Horace standing before them in front of his army).
Masked Man: Welcome. While I wish I could promise you a swift demise, but alas, I do believe my new partners have other ideas. Behold... (Then he reveals the name of his Massive Army) Team Rainbow Rocket. (After hearing and seeing this, Ash has only thing to say).
Ash: Oh man. (The Ketchum's and others knew they were in deep trouble, as their greatest enemies they have ever faced have come together to finish them off once, and for all! Could the Ketchum's overcome this Massive Army? Will they be able to protect the "Sub Energy"? What is the Masked Man going to do with that energy when he gets his arms on it? Could this be the end of the Ketchum's? Will this be the Ketchum Family's final stand? Find out Next time on "Ash 150"!).
