Part 4: Escaping Galactica
(Ash, Iris, Pikachu, and Axew are in big trouble now that Ash has blown their cover, and that the prisoners are now growling at them. Iris then mutters to Ash).
Iris: Way to keep a low Profile, genius. (He checks the Pokétrix. Still in the red).
Axew: Nice going Ash.
Ash: Looks like we are on our Own.
Pikachu: Unfortunately.
Iris: I was afraid you were Going to say that. (Backed against a wall, Iris grabs an exposed pipe from the wall and starts twirling it around threateningly. One Pokémon licks his lips. Ash finds a smaller pipe to grab from the floor and joins her in the standoff. Mega Aggron runs up and Mega Punches Celesteela away. He hears the commotion surrounding the kids and looks away for a second. When he turns back, Celesteela is gone. He calmly pulls a hoverboard from his pocket and extends its glowing blue deck. Meanwhile, the prisoners slow their advance).
Prisoner #4: Careful! With that thing on His wrist, he can become any one of us he wants.
Prisoner #5: Yes, but if he knew how to Control it, he would have used It again by now!
UB-02 Absorption Prisoner: Give me that thing! (The UB-02 Absorption Prisoner makes the first move, flying at them. Iris bats him away with the pipe. The kids prepare as the rest of them come running. Ash, Iris, Pikachu, and Axew smack away tons of the prisoners that come at them, but the crowd of people wanting to take a shot at them does not seem to be going down, and they continue to surround the kids and their Pokémon. Suddenly, bodies go flying from the outside of the crowd. Mega Aggron rides on his board toward the center, punching though everyone in his way. He leaps up, lets his board fly forward and knock into a Hariyama prisoner, and lands in front of Ash, Iris, Pikachu, and Axew).
Mega Aggron: You folks, okay?
Pikachu: Mega Aggron! Thank Goodness.
Axew: Your Here! (The Hariyama stands up and angrily crushes the board in his hands).
Ash: Whoa!
Mega Aggron: That was my favorite board. (A Hariyama Prisoner Growls. The Hariyama starts running. Mega Aggron puts his hands forward. His readies his Sharp Claws. They fire a mass of Stone Edges that push the Hariyama back and pin him against a wall).
Iris: "Whoa" is right! (The prisoners continue to attack them. The three of them now fight them off).
Mega Aggron: (Punching) How do they - (He punches a prisoner away) know about the Pokétrix?
Ash: Funny story, I will tell you later. (As Ash trips a Dubwool Prisoner running at him, he notices the Pokémon he mistakenly thought was Necrozma standing, staring at him). Sorry about that whole "chew you Up" thing. I thought you were somebody Else. (The Pokémon notices the Pokétrix. Its hourglass is now halfway full by the orange perimeter).
Pokémon: (Kneeling down). What are you doing with the Pokétrix? (The Pokémon grabs Ash by his Pokétrix hand).
Ash: (Pulling it away). What is it to you? (Then Pikachu Stands between Ash and the Pokémon threatening to Zap it if it tries anything with a threatening glare).
Pokémon: Tons, after all the work I Put into it, only to have it Wind up on the wrist of a... Thing! (Pikachu's glare eases into a look of shock as does Ash's).
Ash: You created the Pokétrix? You are Mew? Look, there is a major problem with the watch.
Pokémon: Yeah, I can see that. (As Iris bats away one Pokémon and Axew blasts another Prisoner away with Dragon Rage, another comes running to her. She extends her hand and casts a spell).
Iris: Histus Potiva! (The spell causes an overhead pipe to come undone and curve downward, spewing smoke at the Pokémon and knocking him out, she then says to Ash and the Pokémon with him and Pikachu). Hey?! Less chitchat, more combat!
Ash: So, can you fix it?
Pikachu: Please say you can, my Partner is in grave danger.
Pokémon: (As a prisoner goes flying between them). First you need to get me off this galactic sewer. (A Pokémon suddenly grabs Ash and carries him away with Pikachu watching worriedly).
Ash: Hey!
Pikachu: ASH! NO! (The crowd of prisoners passes him above their heads, away from Iris and Mega Aggron).
Ash: Ah! Ugh! Let go of me! Get your hands off! (Mega Aggron Mega Punches left and right through prisoner after prisoner, trying to get to Ash. As they pass him along, the Pokétrix starts rapidly beeping and charging up again). Oh man, like I do not have Enough problems. (It releases an electric wave, blowing back every prisoner holding him, Mega Aggron, Iris, Pikachu, Axew, and those they were fighting. Everyone is on the floor, Ash included).
Iris: Ash! (She, Axew, Pikachu, and Mega Aggron run over to him). Ash, are you okay?
Axew: Ash, please tell us you are okay!
Ash: (Delirious). Uh, what? Mom, I do not want to go to School... (From that Iris has her answer to Ash's Condition).
Iris: Yes, he is okay.
Mega Aggron: But he will not be for long Unless we can figure a way out of here. (As Mega Aggron helps Ash up, they hear a rumbling. Mega Aggron's Ship hovers and rises to meet their gaze. Palossand is inside, steering it forward, then spinning it around and opening the ramp for them).
Iris: Got to love that Sandcastle. (Mega Aggron picks Ash up and sprints to the ship with Pikachu following close behind). Hey! (She hurries after grabbing Axew. Mega Aggron Mega Punches through a ton of prisoners in their way and jumps on the ramp. Only for Ash to yell at him).
Ash: Mega Aggron... wait! ... The creator! (Then the Galactica Security System says over the loudspeaker).
Galactica Security: You do not have the authorization to be in this maximum-security area. Exit or we will destroy your ship. (A double-barreled turret inside the room comes alive and starts shooting at the Ship. As prisoners try to jump on the landing ramp, Mega Aggron Mega Punches them off).
Mega Aggron: Palossand! Get us out of here! (Palossand pulls a lever, and the ship starts flying away, with a couple of prisoners still on it. As the ship flies through a tunnel and out of the turret fire, a compartment opens and sends two drones to follow and continue shooting at them. Mega Aggron is about to Mega punch the remaining prisoners; one of them is the Pokémon they need to help them).
Ash: Mega Aggron, no! That is the creator! (Mega Aggron sends his fist flying anyway...to the prisoner next to the Pokémon. He helps the Pokémon up).
Mega Aggron: Nice to meet you. (The UB-02 Absorption Prisoner flies after the ship with the (now three) Orbeetle drones).
UB-02 Absorption Prisoner: You are not leaving without Me! (As he zooms in the hangar, Mega Aggron grabs him and wrestles with him).
Mega Aggron: Ash, the hatch! (One of the Orbeetle drones' laser shots hits the back wall and start bouncing around the hangar).
Pokémon: We are going to end up blown up to BITS! (Ash and Pikachu now fully believe that this Pokémon they are saving are for sure not Necrozma).
Ash: For sure not Necrozma.
Pikachu: Absolutely. (The shot manages to bounce back and hit the UB-02 Absorption out of Mega Aggron's hands and into one of the Orbeetle drones, destroying it. Ash runs to the button and closes the hatch as the alarm blares).
Ash: Are we sure this is the way out of here?
Mega Aggron: (Opening his Visor). Palossand is on it! (Palossand closely watches the tunnel they are speeding through, with the two Orbeetle Drones still on their tail. Palossand turns the ship in a thinner red corridor. The rest of the group joins Palossand at the bridge, right as the corridor's end approaches them).
Ash: Ah! Big wall coming up fast!
Pikachu: Not Good!
Pokémon: We are not gonna make it.
Iris: She may have a point. (Palossand pulls a lever, and the ship makes a sharp 90-degree turn upward. The Orbeetle Drones on their tail crash into the wall. The Ship spins completely around and flies out of the hole and out of Galactica. The station weakly fires at the ship as it makes a beeline for the teleporter).
Ash: That was so cool! (Then he realizes what he said and what just happened). Let us never do that again. (Meanwhile, on the roof of Mega Aggron's ship, Celesteela and a blue prisoner are holding on. They look at each other. He gives Celesteela a thumbs up; Celesteela fires a Flash Cannon at him, knocking him off the ship. A Couple of moments later, the very last wayward blast from Galactica hits Celesteela, also knocking it off. The ship successfully flies through the portal).
Celesteela: (Frustratedly Speaking native Pokémon language).
(Now inside the Ship's scanning room, the Pokémon sits down with Ash and scans the Pokétrix with a small observation device).
Pokémon: What have you been using this For, to open cans? Break rocks? (Iris Snarks saying).
Iris: Sounds about right!
Axew: Definitively.
Ash: What about the Self-destruct? Because I am sure the GENIUS who created The Pokétrix can stop the Countdown without totally Turning it off, right...?
Pokémon: I Could, but there is a Problem. (The Pokémon up) I did not officially create the Pokétrix.
Ash/Iris/Mega Aggron: What?!
Pikachu: You are not the creator!?
Axew: Well then who are you?!
Ash: You mean you are not The -
Pokémon: Egocentric, selfish, Self-promoting, "oh, aren't I so Brilliant" creator of the Pokétrix? No, I am Magearna, his assistant.
Mega Aggron: But it has your DNA signature on it! (Magearna then Confessed).
Magearna: I, uh, may have accidentally Erased Mew's DNA signature and put on my own, but... that is Only because he never gave me the credit I deserve. (Iris then feels the need to point out).
Iris: You might have Mentioned this when we were Risking our LIVES to bust you Out of jail!
Magearna: If I had, I would still be stuck in that slime pit, wouldn't I?
Axew: How Dare You Lie to us!
Ash: You cannot stop the Self-destruct countdown?
Magearna: Mew never trusted me with the abort sequence.
Pikachu: Does that mean it is all over for Ash? (Having lost all patience with Magearna, Mega Aggron marches up and angrily pokes Magearna in the chest).
Mega Aggron: Give me one good reason for why I Should not shove you in an energy Tube AND SHOOT YOU BACK TO GALACTICA RIGHT NOW!
Magearna: Because I know where Mew Is.
Ash: That is a surprisingly good Reason.
Mega Aggron: Where?
Magearna: Samiya. (Mega Aggron's eyes widen at hearing this).
Mega Aggron: Samiya? (Weary) It haaad to be Samiya...
Iris: Why do I get the Feeling that Samiya is not exactly A vacation paradise? (Ash pulls the Pokétrix loose from the observation device and gets out of his chair as Pikachu climbs back on Ash's Shoulder).
Magearna: The random energy blasts, Like the one on Galactica - They are growing larger and more Intense, aren't they?
Ash: Yes.
Magearna: They show the Poké energy Inside is building to critical Levels. Eventually... (But Ash already knows where this is going and says interrupting her).
Ash: I know. "Poof', I am toast.
Magearna: Well, not just you, of Course. (This confuses the Kids, and the Pokémon as Ash asks).
Ash: What are you talking About?
Magearna: (Pointing to Mega Aggron). Ask him. He knows, don't you? ... (Mega Aggron's Silence answer's Magearna's Question). You did not tell him? (Mega Aggron guiltily steps forward and reveals the truth).
Mega Aggron: If the self-destruct gets to detonate, the Explosion will cause an energy Ripple that will very literally rip Apart the universe, including Earth. (Ash, Iris, Pikachu, and Axew all panic at hearing this).
Ash/Iris: (Hushed) Grandpa!
Pikachu/Axew: Zoroark! (Now the core threat of the Danger they are in is even greater than they thought, especially since they now know that if they fail, the universe, everything, and everyone they know, and love will be gone forever!).
