Escape
"Come on, Dracovish, they're coming!" Ash said as he was running through a forest while he was bloodied, bruised, cuts, & burns with a black eye, bloody nose, & torn clothes
"Draco Draco!" Dracovish said as he was severely injured himself while running alongside Ash
"This can't be happening! Why is this happening!?" Ash thought
Yesterday, Ash had won the World Coronation Series & he was very happy, but unfortunately that happiness didn't last long. Today, Ash was on his way home & when he arrived, he saw his Mom, his friends, his rivals, the Pokémon Professors, the Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, the Champions, the Frontier Brains, Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy, Mr. Goodshow, Scott, & the people he helped during his journey were all glaring at him, some of them had worried expressions & the only ones that weren't present were the Orange League Gym Leaders, the Galar Gym Leaders, Leon, Hop, Sonia, & Professor Magnolia. Ash was confused until he almost got slapped by his mother which shocked him. Ash asked what was going on & Mr. Goodshow told him that he was under arrest for illegal drugs , technically Pokémon strength-inducing drugs were found in Ash's locker in the locker room of The Masters Eight Tournament & to make things even worse for Ash, there was a video of him causing destruction to a town. Ash was shocked, he tried to tell them that wasn't him & that the drugs weren't his, but they didn't believe him & they didn't give him a chance to defend himself. Just then Scott, Blaine, Wattson, Pryce, Juan, Ramos, Agatha, Bertha, Drasna, Clay, Newton, Spenser, & Alder stood up for Ash & they suggested that they give him a trial, but the others refused & said that there was "enough evidence", so the people who believed Ash told him to run. Ash ran into the forest until he was stopped by a Thunderbolt that almost hit him. Ash looked & saw all his Pokémon except his 29 Tauros glaring at him, he even saw his Primeape, Goodra, Squirtle, & Greninja. Just then Dracovish stood up for Ash & tried to talk some sense into his Pokémon but they wouldn't listen. When the others arrived, they took away his Mega Glove, his Rotom Phone, his Dynamax Band, his Z-Power Ring, & his Trainer License. The next thing Ash knew, everyone began to beat him & Dracovish up & was given immense pain, but then Ash saw a small ball of light floating down towards him & released a pulse which threw everyone back causing them to become unconscious. Then the ball of light touched both Ash & Dracovish which they glowed for a brief moment as their strength & stamina were recovered, & that's when they both made a run for it. They were running to their escape until they stopped to a cliff.
"Oh no, Dead End." Ash said in alert
"Dracovish!" Dracovish said worriedly
"Wait, Dracovish, you're part Water-Type." Ash realized "Do you have enough strength to get us across in the ocean?"
"Draco!" Dracovish nodded
"Alright." Ash said as he climbed on top of Dracovish's head "Let's go!"
"Dracovish!" Dracovish said as he jumped into the ocean & swam away with Ash on him
Ash rode Dracovish through the ocean for a moment until they were stopped by an Air Slash & a Psybeam that almost hit them. They looked up & saw Ash's Butterfree & Pidgeot
"Butterfree? Pidgeot?" Ash said
"Pidgeo!/Freeee!" Pidgeot & Butterfree said angrily
"Oh no, not them too." Ash thought before saying "Butterfree, Pidgeot, it's not what you think, that wasn't me!"
But Butterfree & Pidgeot didn't listen as they fired their attacks, Ash & Dracovish braced themselves, they heard an explosion but for some reason they didn't feel anything. They looked & they saw a Lapras pod surrounding them while using Protect with Ash's Lapras in front Ash & Dracovish glaring at Pidgeot & Butterfree.
"Lapras?" Ash said surprisingly
"La! La!" Lapras scolded at Pidgeot & Butterfree
"Pidgeo!" Pidgeot demanded
"Free!" Butterfree agreed
"La!" Lapras & her mother said as they used Ice Beam & Blizzard to freeze Pidgeot & Butterfree in blocks of ice before they fell down to the ocean
"Lapras, you came to help us." Ash said
"La." Lapras smiled
"Does that mean you believe me?" Ash asked
"La La." Lapras nodded as her mother & pod agreed
"Thank goodness, let's get moving now." Ash said
"Laaaa!" Lapras, her mother & her pod said as they used Future Sight & took of with Ash & Dracovish
"What's with the Future Sight?" Ash said
"La La La." Lapras explained
"So you know that the others are chasing me, so you used Future Sight in case they gain on us?" Ash guessed
"La." Lapras said
"Good thinking, Lapras, better be safe than sorry." Ash said
"Ash!" A voice called out
Ash, Dracovish, & the Lapras pod looked behind them & saw the traitors chasing after them
"So, you manage to brainwash that Lapras of yours into siding with you." Misty glared as she was riding her Gyarados "No matter, once you're behind bars, that Lapras is mine like it should have been back when we were traveling the Orange Islands!"
"You are neither getting Lapras nor Dracovish!" Ash glared back
"Ash, there's no point in running away, just give up & turn yourself in." Kukui demanded as he was riding his Empoleon
"No, I'm not letting myself be punished for crimes I did not commit & I told you that was not me, why can't you get that through your thick skulls!?" Ash said frustratingly
"Still denying it, are you? Well how about this!?" Misty said as he sent out Psyduck
"Psyduck! Psy?" Psyduck said as he noticed he was in the water before flailing "Psyiyiyiyiyiyiyi!"
"Misty, are you crazy!? Psyduck can't swim!" Ash said shocking
"I knew Psyduck would be useful for something, besides I was releasing him anyway." Misty smirked to Ash, Dracovish, & the Lapras pod's shock
"You monster." Ash growled "Dracovish, turn back."
"Draco!?" Dracovish exclaimed surprisingly
"Psyduck needs our help, do it now." Ash said as Dracovish turned back
"La!" Lapras called out for Ash to come back as she & her pod stop
"We got him now." Brock said "Go Crobat!"
"Go Beautifly!" May said
"Politoed, Staryu, Starmie, Corsola, Goldeen, Caserin Go!" Misty said
"Togekiss!" Dawn said
"Emolga!" Iris said
The traitor's Pokémon charged at Ash & launch their attacks which he & Dracovish dodged barely, when they got to Psyduck
"I gotcha." Ash said as he scooped up Psyduck before noticing the traitor's Pokémon surrounding "Oh, crap."
"Give up, Ash, you're now surrounded." May said
"La!" Lapras cried worriedly
"Attack Now!" Brock said
The Pokemon attacked when suddenly
"LAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" a voice screeched which caused the traitors' Pokemon to wince & stop from attacking
"What's that sound!?" Dawn exclaimed & she & the traitors covered their ears
Just then the Traitors' Pokemon were hit by Shadow Balls & Swift
"What was that!?" Iris exclaimed
Everyone looked & saw 3 of Ash's old Pokemon
"Larvitar, Ambipom, Haunter." Ash said surprisingly as Ambipom & Larvitar were on Haunter's back
"What the heck, Ambipom!? You messed up the trap, whose side are you on!?" Dawn said incredulously
"Ambi Ambi!" Ambipom said as she point at Ash
"Haunter, how dare you defend that criminal, you know what he has done!" Sabrina said angrily
"Haunt!" Haunter stuck out his tongue at her
"Larvitar, can't you see that Ash has brainwashed you, join us & become my Pokémon so we can defeat him together." Brock said
"Lar Lar!" Larvitar refused
Suddenly the Future Sight hit the Traitors & their Pokémon
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" The traitors screamed
"Now's our chance, Let's go!" Ash said as he took off with the Pokémon that were loyal to him "That was close, are you alright, Psyduck?"
"Psyduck!" Psyduck cried in Ash's arms
"Hey, it's okay, I gotcha." Ash comforted "Poor thing, must've been heartbroken when Misty released him, I should've taken Psyduck as my Pokémon."
"Haunt." Haunter said
"Oh, thanks you three for standing up for me." Ash said "Lapras, you & your pod need to use Future Sight again, just to make sure they don't catch up."
"La." Lapras said as she & her pod used Future Sight
Some minutes later, they arrived at an island.
"Thanks for the help, Lapras." Ash said
"La." Lapras said
"Hey Lapras, if you want, do you wanna come back to my team?" Ash asked
"La La." Lapras said happily
"Great." Ash said as he brought out Lapras' old Poké Ball "Good thing I kept this around with me. Return."
After Ash returned Lapras
"Lapras' Mom, be careful out there & make sure to hide well from the others." Ash said as he pet her head "Hopefully, we can see each other again."
"La." Lapras' Mom smiled as she nodded before diving underwater with the Lapras pod & left
"Haunter, Ambipom, Dracovish, return." Ash said as he returned them to their Poké Balls "Come on, Larvitar, Psyduck."
"Psy/Lar." Psyduck & Larvitar nodded
As Ash, Larvitar, & Psyduck walked through the island
"We can't stay here for long, so we gotta figure out somewhere to hide." Ash said
"Psy/Lar." Psyduck & Larvitar agreed
"Ash!" A voice called out
Ash & the two Pokémon were startled & hid under the bushes, they looked up & saw a very familiar Pokémon
"Hey, it's Arceus, maybe he can help me." Ash said as he was about to stand up
"Don't get up & don't make a sound." A voice said
Ash & the two Pokémon looked & saw another familiar Pokémon hiding under a tree.
"Slowking, is that you?" Ash said
"Shhh, come to me carefully." Slowing said
Ash, Psyduck, & Larvitar went under the tree.
"Slowking, why are you hiding here?" Ash asked
"Keep it down, if the others find us here, we're done for." Slowking whispered
"What do you mean?" Ash said
"All the Legendary & Mythical Pokémon are convinced that you drugged your Pokémon & caused havoc." Slowking said much to Ash's shock
"What? No, that can't be." Ash denied
"I'm not joking, Ash, they have all come to an agreement to have you executed by Arceus himself." Slowking said
"Dang it, that was my one chance for help with this situation I'm in." Ash said
"I apologize, Ash, but I tried everything I could to dissuade them." Slowking said
"It's fine, thanks for trying anyway." Ash said
"Croa." A Croagunk came out from behind Slowking
"Huh? A Croagunk? Wait, is this who I think it is?" Ash said
"Yes, this is Brock's Croagunk." Slowking said
"What's he doing with you?" Ash asked
"Brock had abandoned him before you were framed." Slowking said
"He did what?" Ash said shockingly
"Brock had released Croagunk into the wood & told him to stay there until he came back, but he never did." Slowking said
"Croagunk…" Ash said
"Croa…" Croagunk looked away sadly
"That lousy no-good pervert! He released Croagunk just so he can continue to swoon over women like he used to." Ash thought angrily
"Ash, where's Pikachu?" Slowking asked
"...He along with the rest of my Pokémon believed I was guilty of the crimes & betrayed me." Ash said
"What? But why? They should know that you never drugged them." Slowking said shockingly
"Well, they didn't, the only ones who believed I was innocent are Larvitar, Ambipom, Haunter, Dracovish, & Lapras." Ash said
"Oh dear, this is very troubling." Slowking said
"How did you find me here?" Ash asked
"We were led here by this sort of light which brought us to you." Slowking said
"That must be the same light that saved me & Dracovish." Ash said "What do you suppose we do?"
"We should stay here until Arceus leaves." Slowking said
Suddenly, the tree they were hiding under was cut in half by some sort of blade. When the tree broke apart, they saw an angry Keldeo
"Keldeo." Ash said
"You villain!" Keldeo said
"No, Keldeo, that wasn't–." Ash said
"Ash, he's too far gone, just run!" Slowking said as he grabbed Ash's arm & ran.
"Duck!" Ash said as they ducked an Energy Ball & saw a certain Pokémon flying towards them "Shaymin!"
"Here I come, you traitor!" Shaymin said angrily
"Croagunk, Poison Jab now!" Ash said
"Croa!" Croagunk said as he struck Shaymin with Poison Jab which caused Shaymin to fly into a tree
"Sorry Shaymin." Ash said
"Look out!" Slowking exclaim as he used Protect against a Hyper Voice & Dragon Pulse
"Latias, Meloetta." Ash said
"La!/Etta!" Latias & Meloetta charged angrily
"Wait, NO!" Ash shouted as he put his hands up
Suddenly his hands released a pulse which sent Latias & Meloetta flying back
"Huh?" Ash said surprisingly as he looked at his hands "How did I–?"
"Ash, we can worry about that later, let's go!" Slowking said
Ash, Slowking, Psyduck, Larvitar, & Croagunk ran until they were out in the open to a dead end at the bottom of a cliff.
"There you are." A voice said
They looked around & saw every Legendary & Mythical Pokémon surrounding them with angry looks, but he noticed there were a few Legendary Pokémon that were not present.
"Oh no." Ash softly panicked
"Slowking, why are you helping the enemy?" Lugia glared
"Please, you're making a colossal mistake, Ash would never do such heinous crimes." Slowking pleaded
"Silence Slowking, he's the reason my brother died!" Latias said
"Mew & I should have left him in stone if only the Pokémon hadn't shed any tears for him." Mewtwo(M01) said
"Not to mention, he almost caused the Tree of Beginning to be destroyed." Regirock said
"& he almost got Mama killed!" Manaphy said
"I knew that he couldn't be trusted, I thought he was different, but it turns out he's just like the rest!" Volcanion said angrily
Ash was hurt by these accusations, it hurt when they accused him of deaths & destruction he never caused along with wishing he was never saved from death.
"How could you guys say that! I'm telling you I'm innocent, I would never EVER do any of that to anyone & my Pokémon, don't you all remember the times I helped you, the times I saved the world, the good times we had. Come on, you KNOW me!" Ash said
There was silence for a moment, until it was broken by Arceus.
"You're right, we did know you" Arceus said, causing Ash & the Pokémon to believe they got through to them only for Arceus to say "But we didn't know the REAL you."
"...What?" Ash said
"You have blinded us with your false personality, you have fooled us into believing you were a good-hearted Trainer. Well, not this time, we will no longer be blinded by your facade. You may have been the hero & the Chosen One, but you had already served your purpose as you are hereby stripped & discarded of the title. Justice will be served against you!" Arceus said
Slowking, Croagunk, & Larvitar were shocked when Arceus said that. As for Ash, his eyes were shadowed by his hat.
"So, it's like that, huh. After everything we've been through, the good times we shared, the fact that I repeatedly risked my life to save your world from danger & bad people, the fact that I died numerous times to put the world & all of you at safety, only for you to discard me in the end." Ash said before he glared angrily at Arceus "IF THAT'S HOW YOU WANNA PLAY IT THEN FINE! DON'T EXPECT ME TO HELP YOU WHEN YOUR WORLD IS IN DANGER AGAIN, SO FUCK YOUR WORLD, FUCK YOUR CHOSEN ONE PROPHECY, FUCK! YOU!"
Slowking, Psyduck, Larvitar, & Croagunk were shocked as they never heard Ash cuss before, but they couldn't blame him. The Legendary Pokémon were also shocked but they were mostly angry with how Ash talk to them
"How dare you speak to me that way!?" Arceus said angrily. "Judg–!"
"ICE BURN!" A voice shouted
Suddenly all the legendaries were frozen in a block of ice. Ash & the Pokémon turned & saw Giratina, Kyurem, & the Genesect Army at the top of the cliff.
"Ash, are you okay?" Douse Genesect said
"You guys are helping me too?" Ash said
"Of course we are, boy, we never believed that nonsense about you causing chaos & using illegal drugs." Kyurem said
"Ash, this isn't gonna hold them for long, we need to get moving now!" Giratina rushed as he landed in front of Ash & the Pokémon "Get on my back."
"My army & I will protect you on the way to safety." Red Genesect said
"I'll hold the others off in case the ice breaks." Kyurem said
Ash & the Pokémon climbed up on Giratina's back before taking off in the air with the Genesect Army.
"Ash, are you alright?" Giratina said
"I just got discarded as the hero & Chosen One because the so-called 'God of the Pokémon World' stupidly believed I was guilty of the crimes." Ash said "Does it seem like I'm alright."
"I'm sorry, Ash, that wasn't supposed to happen, none of this was." Giratina said
"I don't understand, one day I was the Champion of the World Coronation & then the next day I'm a wanted criminal. How did this all happen?" Ash said
"I honestly don't know, everything is going into disorder because of that video & those drugs that were found in your locker." Giratina said
"What happens now, Giratina, literally everyone is out to get me, where am I supposed to hide?" Ash said
"I would take you to the Distortion World, but unfortunately Arceus could easily find you there." Giratina said "We can only hope a miracle would happen."
"There you are, you criminal!" A voice said
Ash looked back & saw Kiawe, Sophocles, Lillie, Lana, Mallow, & Gladion in their Ultra Guardian outfits
flying on their respective ride Pokémon
"You're not gonna get away this time!" Gladion said "Lunala!"
Just then, Lunala appeared right in front of them
"Use Moongeist Beam!" Gladion said
Lunala prepared Moongeist Beam, when suddenly he was hit by a Sunsteel Strike by a Solgaleo causing Lunala to fire his attack in the other direction.
"Nebby?." Ash said.
"Nebby! How could you!" Lillie said
"Raaaaaaaa!" Nebby roared angrily
"So, that's your decision, then so be it." Gladion glared
Lunala roared & then Diancie, Groudon, Kyogre, Hoopa, Latias, Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, & Mewtwo(M16). Diancie, Latias, & Mewtwo mega evolved while Groundon, Kyogre, Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, & Hoopa change into their other forms. Then they used their signature moves on Nebby which hit him & caused him to fall into the ocean
"NEBBY! NOOOOOOOOOO!" Ash cried
"Mewtwo, how could you all do this!?" Red Genesect said shockingly
"Solgaleo was a fool in siding with this villain, so this is the price he has to pay." Mewtwo(M16) said
"It's your fault, Ash, if you hadn't brainwashed Nebby into siding with you, we wouldn't have been forced to do this to him." Lillie said
"YOU BASTARDS, I'LL KILL YOU!" Ash shouted angrily as he was about to stand up
"Ash, no, it won't help." Slowking said as he held Ash back
"LET ME GO! I REGRET EVER HELPING YOU & SAVING YOUR LIVES!" Ash said
"So, you're starting to reveal your true colors, huh? Well, this is the end for you, ATTACK!" Gladion said
The Ultra Guardians & Legendary Pokémon attacked & charged at Ash. But suddenly, they were pushed back by a massive psychic force. Everyone looked & became wide-eyed at who they saw.
"Necrozma." Ash said
Necrozma dove into the ocean,then a few seconds later, a huge beam of light shines & shoots out of the oceans. When it disappeared, it reveals to be none other than
"ULTRA NECROZMA!?" Everyone exclaimed
"Nebby, he's okay." Ash smiled in relief
"Traitors! You have all committed a grave sin against our hero & friend, Ash Ketchum! All of you will be punished for this injustice!" Ultra Necrozma said "Come forth, allies & those who are loyal to Ash Ketchum!"
Ultra Wormholes appeared & every Ultra Beast including Ash's Naganadel came to Ultra Necrozma's side. Then a Rayquaza & a Lugia appeared & also came to Ultra Necrozma's side.
"That's Rayquaza from LaRousse City, & that Lugia, could that be?" Ash said "Silver, is that you?"
"Gyaass!" Silver smiled & nodded
"Wow, look how big you've gotten." Ash said surprisingly
"Naga." Naganadel approached Ash with Buzzwole & Pheromosa
"Naganadel, I'm so happy you & the others came to help me." Ash smiled
"Buzz." Buzzwole said as he took Ash's hand & looked at his injured arm
"Phero." Pheromosa said in concern
"It's alright, I'll be okay." Ash assured
"This is not good!" Sophocles panicked
"How are we supposed to handle all these Ultra Beast at once!?" Mallow exclaimed
"Yeah, especially Ultra Necrozma, we've never dealt with that before!" Kiawe said
"Ash, this is your chance to get away." Ultra Necrozma said
"Right." Ash nodded
"Naga." Naganadel nuzzled Ash
"Don't worry, Naganadel, we'll see each other again, I promise." Ash said
"Naga." Naganadel said as he went to Ultra Necrozma's side
"Buzzwole." Buzzwole gave Ash a thumbs up
"Phero." Pheromosa winked at Ash
"The 3 of you stay here & help." Red Genesect said
"Roger." Shock, Chill, & Burn Genesect said affirmatively
"Giratina, let's go." Red Genesect said
"Right." Giratina said as he took off with Douse & Red Genesect
"I'll see you guys real soon, goodbye!" Ash called out
"Goodbye, Ash Ketchum." Ultra Necrozma said
Ash & the Pokémon arrived at an island that had ruins on it.
"Thanks guys, but you really didn't have to do all this, what if you guys get in trouble?" Ash said
"Some things are worth getting in trouble, Ash, especially when it comes to helping friends." Douse Genesect said
"Thanks Genesect, that means a lot." Ash smiled
"Ash, listen to me, Arceus is mad & he along with the others will stop at nothing to execute you. What you need to do is disappear until your innocence have been proven. No matter what you do, you must leave this world & NEVER return." Red Genesect said
"You're right, hopefully something will happen that will let us get out of here." Ash said
"Good, take care of yourself." Giratina said "Goodbye."
After Giratina, Douse & Red Genesect left. Ash & the Pokémon looked around the ruins
"Alright, everyone, you need to figure out a way to go into hiding." Ash said
"But how are we gonna do that, Ash, there is no place for us to hide." Slowking said
"Larvitar Lar Lar!" Larvitar said
"What is it, Larvitar?" Ash said
"Psyduck Psy." Psyduck pointed
Ash looked & saw a ruin doorway glowing in a white light
"What is that?" Ash said
"I have no idea, but I have a bad feeling about it." Slowking said
"Wait, maybe that's our path that will help us hide, let's go." Ash said
"No, Ash, who knows what that doorway will lead us, it could be a trap." Slowking said
"Well, what choice do we have, Slowking?" Ash said "We can't stay here, it's either do or die."
"...You're right, we should have faith on what this doorway will take us, hopefully it will take us to safety." Slowking said
"Yeah, come on guys, it's now or never." Ash said
"Lar/Psy/Croa/Hm." The Pokémon nodded
Ash & the Pokémon entered the doorway & disappeared, what Ash didn't know was that it will lead him to a path that will change his life forever.
