Months After Ghetsis Was Thrown in Jail

Ghetsis sat in his cell, a blank look on his face as a newspaper was thrown into his cell. He looked at it and picked it up.

"Pokemon Trainer Rosa becomes number one sensation in Pokemon Contests!

Pokemon Trainer Nate becomes top Pokemon Breeder in Unova!"

Ghetsis growled, flipping the page and seeing another headline.

"Pokemon Champion Hilbert retires! Iris claims title!

Pokemon trainer Hilda marries Cheren!"

Ghetsis growled deeply as he flipped through the pages.

"Where is N? Nobody knows, but witnesses say they possibly found him living in the mountains."

"Colress released from prison after giving testimony that Ghetsis offered him money for research purposes, claims he had no idea that Ghetsis was manipulating him-"

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Ghetsis tore through the newspaper. "Colress, you FOOL! I gave you everything just so you could help me with my project and this is how you repay me?!"

He clutched his head, growling uncontrollably as he replayed his recent defeat in his head for the umpteenth time.

"Darmanitan, Hammer Arm!" Rosa's voice echoed.

"Stoutland, Play Rough!" Nate's voice echoed.

Ghetsis screamed in frustration, growling intensely as spit formed at the sides of his mouth, punching the walls repeatedly. "DAMN! THOSE! BRATS!" He yelled. "I HAD VICTORY WITHIN MY GRASP AND THOSE PIECE OF SHITS TOOK THEM AWAY FROM ME!"

He headbutted the wall in frustration, panting wildly as his knuckles and forehead were bloodied as a guard walked by and saw him.

He let out an annoyed sigh. "I'll get the nurse. Again." He said and walked off with a grumble.

A year later…

Ghetsis had the TV on his cell, eating some food.

"Breaking news! Kalosian heartthrob, Lysandre, attempted to destroy the world in order to make it beautiful. However, with the help of Serena, Calem and Kalosian Champion Diantha, they were able to put a stop to him. His whereabouts are currently unknown. Diantha has this to say."

"I don't know what happened to him. He was such a good person. He was so into the beauty of the world, I was thinking he was going to beautify the world by making fashionable clothing. It's sad to see him going down that path… I wish I would have helped him sooner."

Ghetsis stared at the camera pointing at Serena and Calem, replacing them with Rosa and Nate as a picture of Lysandre showed up, but Ghetsis replaced him with himself.

"Scolipede, Venoshock that Hydreigon!" Rosa's voice echoed.

"Drei…!" Hydreigon grunted, static shooting out of his body.

"Hydreigon, move!" Ghetsis yelled.

"Thank you, Thunder Wave!" Nate smirked.

"Ampha!"

"RAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Ghetsis threw his tray of food across the room. "THOSE INSOLENT BRAAAAAAAAAAAAATS!"

A guard walked by, seeing the tray on the food. "...Yeah, I don't blame you. The food today sucks."

Months later…

"Come on, come on! You can make it!" One of the guards cheered.

"Defense! Defense! Block 'em!"

BGM: News (Pokemon Colosseum)

"Breaking news!"

"Oh come on! You can't just interrupt a football game!"

"An outbreak of mysterious Pokemon have appeared in the Alola Region known as Ultra Beasts. However, these Ultra Beasts have been quelled by the hands of a young trainer named Umber Lightwave along with his friends, Lillie, Hau, and Guzma. With the help of a mysterious team helped by Colress-"

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" The guards heard Ghetsis scream. "COLRESS, YOU TRAITOOOOOOR!"

"How have we not put him in a padded room yet?"

"We have. He tore that all up within seconds of hearing the name "Rosa" and "Nate"."

"...Oh…"

"Wait a second, he tore up the straight jacket? How did he pull that off?"

"You don't wanna know…"

End BGM

Six months later…

"In other news, the Alola Region faced a grave threat where Team Rainbow Rocket, led by Giovanni, threatened to take over the Alola Region. He was joined by Archie and Maxie of Team Magma and Aqua, Cyrus of Team Galactic, Ghetsis of Team Plasma and Lysandre of Team Flare-"

"Ghetsis?" A guard raised an eyebrow. "But-"

"THOSE FOOLS! THEY THINK THEY CAN MOCK ME BY GETTING SOMEONE TO DRESS UP LIKE ME!"

The guard peeked into the cell where Ghetsis screamed maniacally, throwing the food tray into the TV and punching it to break the glass as he tore it off the wall and slammed it into the ground.

"NO ONE MAKES A MOCKERY OUT OF ME! MEEEEEE!"

The guard sweatdropped. "That answers that question…" He walked away casually whistling as Ghetsis stomped on the TV in fury, also completely red in the face.

Several years later…

"We have just received word that the championship title of the Galar region has been cut short due to Chairman Rose unleashing the Darkest Day. Champion Leon, with the help of Gloria and Hop, managed to subdue the giant beast known as Eternatus. Chairman Rose was arrested shortly after and the championship will continue the following day."

Ghetsis stared at Gloria and Hop, and then at the picture of Rose. He pictured Rosa and Nate in that scenario as he pictured himself as Rose while Eternatus was replaced by Kyurem.

"Galvantula, Electro Web!" Rosa called out.

"Now that we got Psychic Terrain on the field… use Psychic, Beheeyem!" Nate ordered.

The guard heard Ghetsis screaming in rage as a result. "I'm surprised he hasn't fallen over dead yet from his daily rage fests…" He mumbled to himself, reading a magazine.

Months later…

"I don't believe it folks! Team Monochrome has defeated Champion Gloria and her best friend Ruby Rose! This has been an extraordinary first Galarian Star Tournament! I look forward to our next Galarian Star Tournament!"

Ghetsis changed the channel.

"We have just received word that Champion Geeta of the Paldea region has crowned the next champion of Paldea, who happens to be rather young, Nemona! Paldea is looking forward to see what this young trainer can do!"

Ghetsis stared at Nemona's smiling face, where his mind replaced her with Rosa.

That smile.

That infernal, obnoxious, smug smile… according to him, that is.

It burned him up. He let out a growl as he changed the channel once again.

"I just love my Pokemon! They're so soft and cuddly, I never want to part with them!" A young child said.

Ghetsis trembled with rage. "SIIIILENCE! ALL OF YOU SHUT UP! YOUR DISGUSTING HABITS WITH YOUR POKEMON ARE ANNOYING!"

"Hey, simmer down, I'm trying to take a nap here!" An inmate said.

"No no no, let him! His rage is music to my ears!" Another said.

"Something must be done about this…" Ghetsis growled. "I will not rot in this infernal cell for a moment longer!" He declared.

A few months later…

"Lights out!" A guard said as the lights turned off. Ghetsis lay in his bed calmly as he stared at the ceiling.

BGM: Three Days To Live (Team Fortress 2)

The guard whistled with a hum, when suddenly a ninja landed on the ground behind him. He swiftly grabbed the guard from behind and sliced his neck open as he grabbed the keys and jumped away.

"Pssst."

Ghetsis looked up to see who was catching his attention. "Ah, I see you finally got my message I sent from that Pidove."

"I apologize, it took us a bit longer to fully prepare than we initially thought."

The ninja opened up the cell door, revealing to be none other than one of the Shadow Triad.

"Not to worry, I knew my days in this infernal prison was coming to an end." He said. "Do you have the charges?"

"I'd step away from that wall if I were you." He said as Ghetsis got up from his bed and casually walked to the cell where the wall blew up as a few Plasma Grunts emerged from the wreckage.

"One of the reasons we took so long was that we had to gather everyone from hiding across Unova."

Ghetsis smirked. "Very well then. Let us proceed." He said as he walked out calmly as spotlights shined down on him.

"Ghetsis is breaking out! Take him down!" One of the guards yelled, only to get assassinated by another Shadow Triad as the other guard was impaled by the third.

Another charge was set as the explosion rocked the outer wall as Ghetsis calmly walked through the smoke, tossing away his prison clothing and emerging on the other side with his black cloak with a sinister smirk.

"Let's resume where we left off, shall we?"

End BGM

Hours later…

"How are my Pokemon holding up?" Ghetsis asked.

"We retrieved your Hydreigon and Boufallant, however the rest of your Pokemon are still missing. I'm afraid you'll have to catch some new ones." A Plasma Grunt explained.

"Very well then. There's lots of Pokemon in existence. I'm sure we'll find plenty of substitutes. Hell, I can easily snatch up a Bisharp."

"Funny you should mention a Bisharp. We've heard rumors that a Bisharp is not the final evolution of a Pawniard. They are only found in the Paldea region, but perhaps they could be found in other regions."

"Is that a fact? See to it that you can get me one of those."

"Yes sir."

The second Shadow Triad pulled up a video. "Sir, we have found Kyurem. Would you like-"

"No need. Kyurem has failed me. I desire a different Legendary."

"As you wish. Which one would you like to have? There are plenty to choose from, including Mythicals and Ultra Beasts." He said as he showed each Pokemon.

"Hmm… ah, that one looks good." Ghetsis said, looking at Darkrai. "Where is that one located?"

"Darkrai? We've last heard reports of Darkrai visiting a town that hails him as its protector. Alamos Town, I believe."

"Is that so?" Ghetsis smirked. "Let's go pay Alamos Town a visit."

Later, at Alamos Town…

Darkrai had his arms folded, watching a Pokemon battle happen in the streets. He let out a chuckle as he heard an explosion nearby. "Hmm?" He turned toward the source of the explosion, seeing smoke coming from the forest as Tailow, Swellow and Pidgey flew away in terror.

Darkrai disappeared into the shadows, rising from the ground from the shadow of a tree. He would see Azurill, Kirlia, and Azumarill fleeing from terror as a Politoed jumped into a pond as some Surskit hid behind some lilypads.

"What's going on here?"

"Ah, you arrived precisely on schedule."

Darkrai turned to see Ghetsis approaching him. His eyes widened. "You! You're that wicked man from the Unova region. What are you doing here?"

"Simple. I came for you."

"For me?"

"Yes. I think you will be perfect for my conquest."

Darkrai clenched his fists. "So you're up to your old tricks, I presume. I will not let that happen!" He declared, firing a Dark Pulse at him as Ghetsis calmly stepped out of the way as he then called out his Boufallant.

"Bouffaaa!" The Bouffalant charged at Darkrai.

"I wish not to fight you, Bouffalant." Darkrai said, disappearing into the shadows and reemerging behind him. He turned to Ghetsis and charged up a dark void… when suddenly a device latched onto his back, where it electrocuted him. "AAAARGH!" He grunted.

Ghetsis smirked, pulling out an Ultra Ball. "You are mine!" He threw the Ultra Ball at Darkrai, but he powered through the shock and batted it away.

"I am not yours to command!"

"I thought you might say that." Ghetsis said, pulling out a detonator. "You see this detonator? You come with me or Alamos Town, along with its residents, will be buried!"

"You're bluffing."

"Am I now?" Ghetsis smirked, his thumb on the trigger as Darkrai charged up Dark Void. "You throw that Dark Void at me, you can kiss Alamos Town goodbye and all of its residents!"

Darkrai stiffened. "You're… you're lying!"

Ghetsis chuckled. "Throw that Dark Void at me then. I dare you." He challenged as Darkrai hesitated… before he canceled out Dark Void. "That's a good Pokemon." He said, putting the detonator away as the Shadow Triad dropped a cage on him.

"Move out! Our work here is done." Ghetsis said as they loaded up Darkrai into a helicopter and flew off.

"That went better than expected." A Plasma Grunt said.

"Indeed. Now Darkrai, you will obey us without hesitation. You understand?"

"And if I refuse?" Darkrai glared.

Ghetsis pulled out the detonator. "I think you understand what will happen if you disobey me."

Darkrai looked away, closing his eyes.

Back at the safe house…

"Okay, we gathered some Pokemon for you. We also stopped by Galar to see if there was anything useful." A female Grunt said. "Apparently, there's a ridiculously stupid way to evolve a certain Pokemon. It makes me question what Arceus was thinking."

"Never mind Arceus." Ghetsis said. "Now, with these Pokemon and Darkrai, we can resume our conquest."

"If I may interject." One of the triad spoke up. "As we all know, the last two times we tried to convince people to release their Pokemon, it blew up in our faces. However… I suggest an alternative."

"I'm listening."

"We travel to the past. Back when owning Pokemon was just a mere concept."

"Hmm… going to the past, eh? What brought this up?"

"I came across this book in Zinzolin's room. Unfortunately, he passed away before we could bring him back to our cause." He said. "In his room, he had this book about the history of Pokemon, and in it, there was this little gem." He handed the book over to Ghetsis.

"Let's see here." Ghetsis opened the book up. "Hisui… also known as Ancient Sinnoh." He read into it. "Pokeballs were just recently invented, yet people feared these creatures? Yes… this era will do nicely!"

He chuckled darkly. "Yes! That's perfect. We simply do away with this, and then our vision will be realized. We will only have Pokemon at our disposal and strike down any rebels in our way!"

"What?!" Darkrai said in horror. "You plan on destroying the bonds between humans and Pokemon by going to the past? You diabolical good for nothing…!"

"Silence!" Ghetsis ordered before chuckling. "In order for us to make a time machine, we will need help from a scientist. Do we know where he is currently stationed?"

"He is currently still stationed in Alola, keeping an eye on any activity from Ultra Beasts."

"Then we set off for Alola. Let us go."

Later, at Akala Island…

BGM: Route 4 (Pokemon Sun/Moon)

"Hmhmhm~" Colress hummed as he worked in his lab.

There was a knock on the door. "Hmm? I wonder who that could be." He said as he walked over to it, only for the door to swing open as Ghetsis walked in. "Ghetsis?!"

End BGM

"Hello Colress… you traitor." He glared, shoving him into a wall.

"Mmph! I heard that you broke out of prison… but I believed that to be a rumor."

"We have loads to catch up on, Colress."

"Hmph. Well, whatever it is that you're scheming-" Colress pushed Ghetsis away. "I don't want any part in it. Now if you will excuse me." He walked away, only for Darkrai to rise up from the ground. His eyes widened in shock.

"I'm afraid that you are mistaken. You will make something for me."

"Hmph, and if I refuse, you'll sic Darkrai on me?"

"It'll be more than that. I'll have you tortured for your betrayal."

"That's a bit much." Darkrai mumbled.

"Zip it." Ghetsis said as the Grunts and Shadow Triad surrounded Colress, aiming their weapons at him.

"Very well… what exactly do you require of me?"

"I want you to make a time machine for me. I wish to go to Ancient Sinnoh and forcibly make the people afraid of Pokemon to the point where Pokeballs will be obsolete."

Colress narrowed his eyes. "So, back to your old tricks, I presume."

"Yes."

"You know very well time machines are frowned upon by Dialga."

"I don't give a damn about that cry baby!" Ghetsis said. "If he gets upset over time travel in movies, then I can't take him seriously." He chuckled. "Now, you will make me a time machine… and while you're at it, program this detonator to where I can persuade our friend here should be misbehave."

"You want me to program a detonator to work in the past so you can blow something up in the present?"

"That is correct!"

"Ha! Even if you tried Ghetsis, there is no way I will make these for you."

"I was hoping you would say that." Ghetsis said as a Plasma Grunt planted a device on his head.

"Ack!" He yelped as she turned it on where electricity shot out. "AAARGH!"

"You still had your files for a brainwashing mechanism for when you worked with Team Plasma. Heh, it wasn't hard to locate your machinery." He said. "Now… make me that time machine."

"...Yes, Lord Ghetsis."

Later…

Colress presented the Detonator, now looking completely high tech. "This will make it possible for you to blow something up in the present from the past."

"Thank you, Colress." Ghetsis said.

"And here is this time machine." He said, handing him a stopwatch. "Just type in where you want to go and it will take you to your destination."

"Very good, Colress." Ghetsis smirked as the Plasma Grunt took the brainwashing helmet off of him.

"Mmmph!" Colress shook it off. "What on…" He gasped and glared at Ghetsis. "You… you do not know what you have done!"

"Oh, I'm pretty sure I have. Put him to sleep." He ordered as Darkrai threw a Dark Void into him.

"Rrrgh!" Colress grunted as he immediately fell to the ground.

"It was nice catching up with you, Colress. Come everyone. We set for Sinnoh." He said as they walked out while Darkrai looked over at Colress.

"...Forgive me." Darkrai said sadly before disappearing into the ground.

Later, at Sinnoh…

"And here we are. Sinnoh." Ghetsis said as he flipped the stop watch open, typing in the coordinates.

"Why couldn't we just use this in Alola?" A male Grunt wondered.

"Because… we'd end up in ancient Alola, not Sinnoh."

"...Fair."

Ghetsis smirked. "My vision will soon be realized." He said as he pressed a button as an electric field surrounded him and his minions as they were taken to Hisui.

Meanwhile, with Colress…

"Awaken…"

"Gah!" Colress shot up, shaking his head as he looked around. "What…?" He wondered as he turned to see Cresselia in front of him. "Cresselia!"

"I've sensed Darkrai shenanigans so I came over to investigate. What happened?"

"Ghetsis happened… and in my brainwashing, I've heard that the Darkrai they captured was the one from Alamos Town."

Cresselia's eyes widened. "What?!"

"Yes."

Colress stood up as he walked over to his inventions, pulling out another stop watch. "It's a good thing I've made a couple of them." He said as he handed it to Cresselia. "Take this with you. Make sure you stop Ghetsis from interrupting the timeline."

"Understood." Cresselia nodded and flew off.

"Mmm…" Colress folded his arms, rubbing his chin in thought. "Will she be enough? …No, no, I need more backup. I need to go to Hisui and stop him myself… but how will I do that?" He wondered to himself as he walked out the door, only to come across Kukui.

"Hmm? Oh hey, Colress!" Kukui greeted.

"Professor. What are you doing in Akala?"

"Going for a walk."

"Another question, do you know where Umber might be at?"

"He went off to Popstar to hang out with his friend… Dedede, I think."

"...What's a Popstar?" Colress asked.

"Oh, you don't know? Surely you were evacuated over that Phazon thing."

"I was, but I was more into research than I was into fighting those space pirates." He said.

"You can get into Dreamland by going through a portal at Melemele, you'll find yourself at a Smash Mansion of some kind." He explained. "I've also heard some Pokemon are partaking in this… Smash thing. So hey, knock yourself out if you feel like it." He said and walked away.

"Pokemon in this… Smash Mansion?" Colress raised an eyebrow. "Hmmm…"

Meanwhile, in Hisui…

So this is Hisui. Fascinating!" Ghetsis smirked. "Now then, we've got a whole timeline to conquer."

"We're right behind you." A female Plasma Grunt said.

Ghetsis chuckled darkly. Rosa, Nate… you are about to have your victories revoked!

"My! You're an interesting group."

Ghetsis and the others turned to see Volo approaching them. "Haven't seen you guys around here."

"Wait… is that…?" One of the Grunts looked at Volo's bangs. All the grunts screamed and hid behind trees and rocks, causing the Shadow Triad to facepalm.

"Cowards! This isn't Cynthia." Ghetsis said.

"That doesn't mean anything! He could be strong just like her!"

"Hmm? You are definitely an odd group." Volo mused. "What is your name?"

"I am Ghetsis, the leader of Team Plasma."

"Team Plasma? Interesting… I'm Volo, nice to meet you! What are you doing here in Hisui?"

Ghetsis smirked. "Funny you should mention that…"

Later, in the Alabaster Icelands…

An electric field opened up as Colress walked out, standing above a cliff. "Good, we're not too late…" He said as he turned his head. "I apologize for the inconvenience but-"

"No need to worry. We're here to help you stop that man after all."

"Indeed." Colress nodded. "I just hope those two trainers retrieved those gifts from me." He said. "Now then, let's find Ghetsis and put a stop to this nightmare."

He turned again to three Pokemon. "You ready?"

The three Pokemon, which were none other than Lucario, Incineroar and Greninja, nodded.

"We're with you." Lucario said.

"Roar!"

"Ninja!"

With a nod, Colress turned around as they started to walk up, only for Greninja to detect something and looked up in the sky. "Ninja Nin!" Greninja pointed to the sky as they looked up to see a large rift opening in the sky. They could see various worlds in the rift.

"What did Ghetsis do?" Lucario wondered in shock.

"...I don't think this is Ghetsis's doing." Colress said gravely.

Ibuki: Y'all hear that? It sounds that karma is about to catch up to good ol' Ghetsis!

Oooh yeah, he's gonna get it!
