14. Chapter 108: Arceus Chronicles Part 2

All the while, Sarah and Race led their Pokemon, the dragons, and even Ash and the Pokemon School gang (despite some previous objections they had while they began to give chase) to Heatran's current destination, the Spear Pillar, in hopes of stopping the Heatran Colossal while saving the real Heatran and the Flame Plate in the process. Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina kept pace with them and the monster as well to keep the titan from destroying more of Mt. Coronet following the destruction of the surrounding forest land from below while it unleashed more of its molten lava and flames as it roared.

"Ash, guys, I just want to let you know I absolutely hate the idea of you joining us in dealing with the Heatran Colossal knowing what we're up against! That beast is a titan and if you hesitate for even one second, it'll burn you alive and you'll die!" Sarah warned as they continued on their way.

"But, if Brock's willing to put his faith in you after he sent you after us to help take down that colossal, you can help! Just follow our every order, stay out of the way unless you're really needed, and keep a sharp distance from it! We're not sure how long our suits will hold in the heat before they eventually melt and we can't protect each other all the time!" Race agreed despite not liking the idea of bringing the others along while increasing the danger factor as a result.

"We started everything off together, especially our being Power Rangers, Sarah!"

"And, no matter where you go or what you do to protect us, we'll be behind you every step of the way!"

"One for all and all for one, Race!"

"Together forever!"

"We've always been together since our first day as a class!"

"And, that's how it's going to stay!" Ash and the gang declared.

"We'll help you in any way we can, too, Sarah!" Cruise replied from his, Jax, Smash, and Solon's spots on Aurorus. "We may not be of much help in this extreme heat but we'll try!"

"Just give us the word and we'll light everything up for ya!"

"Hoo-Hoo, if we can't help you stop that monster and save Heatran and the Flame Plate, we won't have a homeworld to go back to!" Smash and Jax concurred.

"I'm more worried for Zayto and the others knowing they'll freak if they found out you tagging along with us while onboard Aurorus! Especially since that incident with Slyther you've mentioned before that nearly resulted in the Sporix you had being taken from you guys, Solon!" Sarah replied to the Solonosaurus.

"Well, I still got life left in me, Sarah! I'll still do what I can to give you guys a helping claw against that massive powerhouse as long as we somehow keep this in the dark from Zayto and our friends!" Solon replied reassuringly.

Of course, despite knowing the need to protect Solon and Devon, Ravi, and Zoey's Beast Bots from the intense heat and not wanting them to come for their own safety, they were just as persistent as her and Race's friends to join and stay with them to give them some assistance with the Heatran Colossal. With no other choice, the little princess reluctantly agreed to have them come as well provided that they stick with not just Aurorus but also Hailstorm, Amaura, Frostbite, Aurora, and Frosmoth so they can help them cool down from the heatwave with their attacks and bodies.

Taking Pikachu and Piplup with them aboard Rapidash, Sarah and Zoey's Cinderace (who joined them along with Devon's Incineroar and Ravi's Lucario) did their best to shield them from the heatwave.

For the rest of their family, Talonflame, Flareon, Scorch, Houndoom, Kaji, Amber, Tyson, Reshiram, Apollo, Enya, Freya, and Varokuna shielded them alongside Toothless and the other Berk Dragons who protected the Vikings from the heat as best they could (wanting to tag along).

Umbra and Kamikaze along with their pride were shielded by Kion, Toem Luxray, Kiara, Sarafina, Nala, Sarabi, Kovu, and Simba as best they could by using their bodies to counter the heatwave despite the Snolion pride having once lived in a desert in Cyberspace.

But, there was no time for anybody to gripe about being hot and bothered by the Heatran Colossal's intense heat as they continued to chase after the Pokemon Titan in the hopes of destroying it while retrieving Heatran and the Flame Plate before it could destroy both of them and the world should the dimensional gate be forced open again. When they finally overtook the monster and looked down from higher ground near the Spear Pillar to get a good look at it, they were hit by a wave of heat and embers being blown at them, forcing them to take cover.

"It's too hot!"

"I can't see!"

"I may be a Fire Type but even I think this is much!"

"That makes two of us!"

"Hot, hot, hot!"

"I feel the embers licking my skin!"

"I can't stand the heat!"

"We're cutting it close here, Sis!"

"AHH!" Pikachu, Tsareena, Turtonator, Pyroar, Sandy, Primarina, Togedemaru, Vikavolt, and Snowy screamed as they desperately tried to shield themselves.

"Hang on, guys!" Kaji shouted as he, Amber, Varokuna, and Tyson quickly moved in front of their friends to shield them, getting thankful calls and looks from them.

"It's a good thing the Aether Foundation upgraded our suits so they can withstand extreme weather and more brutal wear and tear such as this heat but I'm not sure for how long in this case," Kiawe put in as they all watched the Heatran Colossal continuing towards the Spear Pillar undaunted.

"But, even so, we can't get any closer. It's too hot for us to get any closer than this!" Brawleon grunted.

"Are you sure water alone won't cut it, Sarah?" asked Breezeon.

Sarah nodded grimly, "Yeah, that molten magma will turn any Water Attacks into steam before they could even touch it.

"You're right. Even if we fire a whole barrage of Water Type and Ice Type attacks onto the titan, it'll fizzle them out in seconds and it'll continue heading towards the Spear Pillar," nodded Lana, feeling grim as well.

"So, what are we supposed to do if normal Ice Type and Water Type attacks won't cut it?" Mallow questioned.

"I have a suggestion!" called a voice, the owner of it being Marena she flew on Stormcloud to them before she jumped down and landed next to the group while Stormcloud nodded and left to continue helping the others staying behind to deal with Team Galactic.

"Marena!"

"What are you doing here?" Sarah and Race gasped.

"You can't have all the fun and besides, I've just the Pokemon we need to help you put a leash on that creature and get back Heatran and the Flame Plate," Marena said, pulling out a Premier Ball that she wore around her from a necklace to summon a Pokemon she supposedly had on her. "This is it, my friend. Your moment of truth has arrived, I choose you!"

The Dragonstone Clan leader threw the Premier Ball and what came out of it was a shock to everybody; before them stood a large theropod-like Pokemon that looked like a bipedal dragon standing at a height of 6'1" with a predominantly navy blue body that had a series of hexagon-shaped ice patches near its chest area, on its kneecaps, and underneath its tail with a black ice-coated spine on its back representing an axe to boot.

It also had square-shaped polygonal patches of light blue underneath its feet in addition to long muscular arms with three sharp white claws on its hands and feet and three red quills protruding from its wrists. It also appeared to wear what looked like an icy 'mask' on its face that had a pair of ice spikes jetting upward on its snout with icicles pointing downward on its chin and the only part of its face that was not covered is its eyes.

"BaxCAAAAAAAAAAL!" the new Pokemon roared proudly after it had been summoned by its chosen trainer.

"WHOA!/Hey, wha?!"

"Wow!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Is that a new Pokemon?!"

"It is, Mallow, dear!"

"But, what is it?"

"I don't know!"

"Beats me!"

"I've never seen a Pokemon like that before!"

"Scary!" Ash, the Pokemon School gang, and their Pokemon spluttered, giving off various reactions of shock and surprise to the new arrival.

"Whoa, a new Pokemon! That's really cool!"

"Ooh! I didn't know a Pokemon like that existed around here!" Cruise and Smash gawked in amazement.

"But, what kind of Pokemon is it, exactly? It looks like a Dragon and Ice Dual Type given its scales and the snow and ice-like features on it-bzt," Manteon noted, looking the Pokemon all over as it calmly eyed him.

"Manteon's right, I can't find any data on it let alone its name and-BWAH!" Rotom-Dex nodded, unable to find any info on Marena's Pokemon before Sarah's Rotom Phone appeared on its own in front of him and scanned the Pokemon itself.

"That's because you won't find this Pokemon anywhere in the other regions, cool dudes," the Rotom Phone smiled knowingly in a new Akwimos-inspired voice.

"What do you mean?" asked Sarah to her Rotom Phone.

"This dude right here, baby, is a Pseudo-Legendary that only hails from one region alone. The same place where you got Pastry, her sisters, and Chien-Pao from: the Paldea Region. As for who our man of the hour is, buckle up because it's none other than... Baxcalibur, the Ice Dragon Pokemon. An Ice and Dragon Type, this Pokemon blasts cryogenic air out from its mouth which can freeze even liquid-hot lava in an instant. It launches itself into battle by flipping upside down and spewing frigid air from its mouth while finishing off its opponents with its dorsal blade. Not bad, huh?"

Rotom-Dex fumed with jealously as he glared at his more advanced smartphone counterpart, "Mmm..."

"If your pops-in-law was here, he'd be flipping out right now," Sarah remarked.

"Wow, a dragon that can freeze molten magma?" breathed Solon.

"I'll betcha a million barrels of Morph-X there are more Pokemon like him and Sarah's puppies and tiger from the Paldea Region we know nothing about if it weren't for her new Rotom Phone," Jax added, feeling awestruck.

"That's it! Maybe freezing all that molten magma using an Ice Type like Baxcalibur could stop that monster! If it works, it should give us some time to figure out how to free Heatran and the Flame Plate!" Lillie gasped in realization.

"Can Baxcalibur really do that?" Ash grinned, now feeling hopeful.

"We'll try; I've done my research on him and the other Pokemon in his homeland during my travels in Paldea sometime before meeting all of you and I discovered that my buddy's air temperature is between 700-1,250°C. It should be cold enough to freeze the lava but I don't know how long that monster will stay put," Marena replied.

"Anything's worth a try, Maerna!" Sophocles added.

Marena nodded before she turned to Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit as she said, "But, we're going to need a little more help to pull it off and attempt a rescue. Hear me, Lake Guardians of Sinnoh, Spirits of Willpower, Emotion, and Knowledge! Please, lend us your power in our time of need and help Baxcalibur and I trap that lava monster in a prison of ice!"

"Right!" Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit agreed, nodding to her and her partner before they got themselves ready as the trio moved off a bit.

Nodding to her Ice Dragon Pokemon, Baxcalibur took a deep breath and, while roaring proudly, exhaled its freezing breath towards the Heatran Colossal as a powerful blizzard. That was the signal for the Lake Guardians to assist Baxcalibur and Marena as they all used Psychic to create a giant ice sphere from the powerful Pseudo-Legendary's blizzard-like breath. The sphere then struck the left side of the titan, creating an explosion and a flash of blue light that Brock, the others including the Jungle Fury, Dino Fury, and Beast Morphers teams, and Team Galactic all saw from their current spot.

Drogon and Zephyr managed to shield everyone from the blast that came from the combined attack with their wings while Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit were blown a few feet away before they caught themselves and looked at the results. When the dust and smoke finally cleared, everyone on Sarah and Race's side was surprised to find that part of the Heatran Colossal was indeed trapped in its new prison of ice.

"They, they did it!"

"...I can't believe it, it actually worked!"

"Marena and the new guy did it!"

"So did the Lake Guardians!"

"Now, we can get Heatran and the Flame Plate out!" Helioseon, Umbreon, Sarah's Shaymin, Mai, and Jolteon cried in awe and amazement.

"I wouldn't be too sure of that," warned Reshiram, glaring at the Heatran Colossal as it roared and started to break the ice, firing another Plate Beam at the dimensional gate, causing it to continue to be forced open.

Of course, Saturn wasn't deterred as his confident glower never left his face and he scoff, "Hmph, such foolishness."

"Whoa, no way...!"

"Is it possible, even Baxcalibur's icy breath had the opposite effect, too?" Ash and Kiawe gawked in disbelief.

Then, as the dimensional gate continued to be forced open to the point when it is nearly possible for Team Galactic to complete their mission, Saturn could only revel in his, Jupiter, and Mars' syndicate's inevitable success as long as they kept the heroes at bay.

"That's my Heatran. Now then, open up the dimensional gate!"

But, even he knew it was too early to celebrate as he, Mars, Jupiter, and their Pokemon were still locked in battle with the heroes including the Beast Morphers, Dino Fury, and Jungle Fury teams along with Brock, Croagunk, the Shiny Legendary Beasts, Ching Wan, Hashimoto, and Wang Lun who held them off as long as they could.

"Not any day!" Ravi agreed as he, Steel, and Zoey held their Beast-X Sabers and Striker Morpher at the ready before they charged in and slashed and blasted at the evil Tiger Cat Pokemon, giving her some damage before she angrily retaliated with a consecutive round of Iron Tails that knocked the three of them back.

"What?! That barely left a scratch!" gasped Zoey once they picked themselves up and saw Purugly still standing.

"You fools have no idea what power Team Galactic had when it was still a thing before those meddling kids ruined EVERYTHING!" Purugly snarled with a fierce cat's yowl as she rushed at the Beast Morphers team and used Iron Tail mercilessly over and over on them.

Even the Dino Fury and Jungle Fury teams that were squaring off with Skuntank and Toxicroak alongside Steelix, Blissey, and Croagunk were starting to be overwhelmed and feeling the pinch of the second wind of the three Pokemon partners of Team Galactic's field commanders as their vigor renewed with the inevitable possibility of finally getting to Cyrus and dragging him back to their human partners' syndicate.

"Not so much fun knowing that we're closer than we think in our mission to bring back Master Cyrus for our new world and there's nothing you spandex-wearing pussies can do to stop us, huh?" sneered Skuntank as he rammed at Lily while she blocked him with her Jungle Bo (especially since she, Theo, and Casey had gone to Jungle Master Mode via their Claw Boosters).

"You think we enjoyed fighting idiots like you?!" she spat back (despite not understanding Pokemon Speak) as she forced him back before he retaliated against her and her friends as well as Steelix with a Flamethrower (as commanded by Jupiter) that blasted them and knocked them off their feet and tail as an explosion occurred around them (with Steelix, unfortunately, taking the full brunt of it).

"He's got a point though, Lily! We can't keep this up for much longer!" Ollie called, feeling worn out himself.

"Those galactic jerks are really taking us to school at this point!" agreed Izzy as she and Amelia were knocked off their feet when Toxicroak nailed them with Close Combat before Croagunk came at him and used Close Combat back to fight him once more.

"They must be stopped!"

"We've got to keep fighting! Sarah and the others need as much time as they can get if they're to take down that titan!" Zayto and Casey encouraged, not wanting to give up until Heatran and the Flame Plate are safe and the dimensional gate is closed once more.

"I don't think so! Skuntank, Flamethrower, again!" Jupiter shouted, allowing her Skuntank to fire another Flamethrower that's more power that dealt more damage to the Jungle Fury Rangers and Steelix as they were once again knocked off their feet and tail.

"Purugly, use Iron Tail!" Mars ordered, having her Purugly charge at the downed Beast Morphers Rangers and Blissey with another Iron Tail ready.

But, just before she could land a hit, she was cut off when a familiar Garchomp used X-Scissor on her and knocked her down. Skuntank and Toxicroak were both taken aback by their Pokemon colleague being hit by the Dragon Type they and the rest of Team Galactic as well as their partners know so well before they were taken by surprise by Zorro and Sokka when they charged at them while letting out battle cries and unleashed Leaf Blade and Razor Shell that did them damage until all three were regrouped and surrounded by clones of a familiar Shiny Serperior glaring at them before they were hit by an unexpected Rock Slide by Kurma that caused them to be thrown back to their human partners. The presence of all five Pokemon as shocked Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter as they realized what it meant for them.

"Oh, no!"

"A Garchomp, Sceptile, Serperior, Torterra, and Samurott?!"

"It can't be!" they bellowed in shock as everybody saw Cynthia entering the fray and Delilah and Doug joining in alongside their partners and their family's Special Ops squad.

"Cynthia, Your Majesties," Brock acknowledged, the trio nodding to him before they turned to Team Galactic while the heroes' Pokemon regrouped.

"The Sinnoh Champion AND the Last King and Queen of Alola?"

"It appears now we have a trio of new and royal targets to take care of," Mars and Jupiter sneered in disgust.

Then, from behind the heroes in the area, a police helicopter carrying Officer Jenny from Calavine City and a few of her fellow officers from the Sinnoh Police Force appeared, the Sinnoh Champion obviously having the foresight to alert her and the rest of the SPF about Team Galactic's return and their plan to reopen the dimensional gate and bring back Cyrus for the real creation of the new world they've longed for.

"Well, just as I thought. It's Team Galactic and their remaining recruits," Cynthia informed Officer Jenny via a microphone.

"Copy, but now they're trapped. The Sinnoh Police will be here soon with reinforcements to give you all a hand. I'll report back to you when ready," she nodded before she flew back the way she came to gather reinforcements and prepare for Team Galactic's arrest.

With that settled, Cynthia then turned to Brock with her request for him, "Now, Brock, please take my Garchomp and head over to the princess and her group. We'll help the Power Rangers take care of Team Galactic and their remaining forces. The only way to stop that titan and save Heatran is to make sure it has nowhere to walk and Garchomp will be a big help."

Brock nodded, knowing what she's thinking, "Alright." She then turned to her ace partner as she replied, "Garchomp, if you please."

"Got it!" Garchomp nodded, trusting her partner as she joined Brock.

"Croagunk, Blissey," Brock began, getting knowing gestures from both his Pokemon as if they want to help as well. "No, I'm actually telling you to stay here... So, you can protect Cynthia!"

The two of them nodded knowingly, trusting Brock as they called, "Right!"

"Sure."

"Steelix, now use Dig!" Brock ordered his old friend, the Iron Snake Pokemon using Dig to burrow a tunnel leading to his friends and the others as he and Garchomp joined him while Toxicroak and Blissey stayed behind as they and the Power Rangers braced themselves for another brawl but this time, with more help.

"Now, it's just you and us, Team Galactic!"

"You've nowhere left to hide from the Alolan Royal Family as long as you threatened our daughter!" Doug and Delilah declared as they and their Pokemon glared at their new enemies with Sokka, Blossom, Zorro, and Kurma ready for battle while Persian and Mischief stayed by their side to protect them.

"Zayto, we'll handle this from here! Do you think you and your team can join Brock and Garchomp in helping Sarah and the others stop Heatran?" Cynthia then asked the Dino Fury leader.

"We'll try, just be careful, Cynthia. Come on, team, let's meet up with Sarah and the others at the Spear Pillar!" Zayto nodded as he then addressed his team.

"Right!" the other Dino Fury Rangers agreed as they hurried off to join their friends and jumped down the tunnel.

"Now, Roserade, Full Blossom!" Cynthia called, summoning her Roserade as the Bouquet Pokemon appeared, ready to fight.

"OH, YEAH! Let's dance!" Roserade declared majestically as she got into her signature battle stance just as Sarah's Legendary Beasts, Calyrex, Spectrier, Glastrier, Wang Lun, Hashimoto, and Ching Wan prepared to fight again much to the annoyance of Purugly, Toxicroak, and Skuntank as they growled in response.

"Imceciles..."

"Those brats don't give up!"

"Stay calm, fools, it'll be all over soon."

---

The dimensional gate continued to spark and slowly be forced open with the Heatran Colossal continuing to make its way to it and the Spear Pillar now that the ice holding it broke off and melted, forcing the undaunted Lake Guardians and Creation Trio to go after it again as they went past the monster to overtake it once more.

Everybody on Sarah's side could only watch helplessly as they tried to come up with a new plan to deal with the titan before the dimensional gate could be opened and Team Galactic enter it to find Cyrus and begin creating their new world. They were coming up with nothing but blanks in their minds until the Dino Fury team, Brock, Steelix, and Cynthia's Garchomp arrived on the scene next to them.

"Brock!"

"Zayto!" Ash and Solon called.

"Solon, are you alright?" Zayto cried as he and his team eyed the Solonosaurus still riding Aurorus.

"There's life in this old dino yet thanks to our icy friends here," she replied as Hailstorm, Amaura, Frostbite, Aurora, and Frosmoth came beside her, Aurorus, and the Beast Bots. "But, our giant walking molten handbag isn't fazed by our new friend's icy breath! Do you have any ideas on how we can stop it?"

"Cynthia gave us a clue as to how we can stop it and free Heatran and the Flame Plate!" Devon called as he, Ravi, Zoey, Nate, and Steel joined the others and their Pokemon partners rushed over to them, relieved that they were okay.

"We thought you guys and our successors were going to do something crazy so we rushed over to help," Zoey joked, explaining why they were with their friends now and not with the Jungle Fury team, Doug, Delilah, and Cynthia.

"You guys doing okay, Smash?" Ravi shouted to Smash, concerned for his Beast Bot's condition.

"Aurorus, Frostbie, Amaura, Hailstorm, Frosmoth, and Aurora are doing us wonders keeping us cool in this heat from the Heatran Colossal, Ravi! We might be able to help you now!" Smash nodded.

"But, what about Team Galactic?" Race asked, wondering who was keeping Team Galactic at bay.

"The Jungle Fury Rangers along with Doug and Delilah got them covered and Cynthia's already with them which is why Garchomp is with us at the moment," Nate reassured.

"Cynthia says to make sure that Heatran Colossal has nowhere to walk!" Brock informed, relaying Cynthia's plan to the group.

"That means we should trap it underground!" Amelia clarified. "My geology grades in high school aren't so hot but I also think dust and rocks can also stop the fire," Izzy (Green Fury Ranger) added.

"So, if water conducts electricity, then maybe dust and rocks can do the same for the molten magma since both of them conduct heat! Of course, it all makes sense now! Truly a plan worthy of the mind of a true ninja master!" Xena nodded, approving of the idea as the Lake Guardians and the Creation Trio joined the heroes once they got wind of the idea. "Does that mean we should trap the Heatran Colossal using the volcanic environment around us, Brock?" Seleneon asked Brock.

"Right! If we can get it underground without relying on water and ice, I bet we can put out its fire!"

"Then, let's concentrate our attacks not on the titan itself but rather on the area around its feet!" Ash stated, agreeing to the plan.

"Now, you're talking! Let's do this!" Brock nodded, taking his shirt off so he'll better endure the heat.

As the Heatran Colossal continued to march forward, the Lake Guardians and the Creation Trio overtook it and attacked to stop it in its tracks upon Sarah's orders (while the heroes run up to them), "Alright, you guys, blast the area in front of that monster with Psybeam, Hyper Beam, Spacial Rend, and Will-O-Wisp!"

"Now our chance, guys! Aim for the spots surrounding its feet, Mosa Blast!" Aiyon shouted, firing his Mosa Blaster at a spot around the titan's front left foot.

Brock nodded as he commanded Steelix and Cynthia's Garchomp, "Use Dig!", sending them both to burrow underneath the titan.

"Alright, guys, let's go to Beast-X Mode!" Devon suggested to Zoey and Ravi.

"Okay!" the two of them agreed as they all summoned their Beast-X Visors, now ready to have their Beast Bots join them after they had been cooled off.

"Beast-X Visor, linked! Activate, Beast-X Mode!" they shouted, activating Beast-X Mode and donning their Beast Bot armor again.

"Turtonator, use Flamethrower!"

"Vikavolt, Zap Cannon!"

"Tsareena, Magical Leaf! GO!"

"Primarina, Sparkling Aria!"

"Snowy, Powder Snow! Let's go!" Kiawe, Sophocles, Mallow, Lana, and Lillie called, allowing their chosen partners to fire at the ground as their attacks combined after Garchomp and Steelix burrowed the ground enough for the Heatran Colossal to start sinking.

"Yo, Heatran, get ready! 'Cause this one's about to rock your world long enough for us to save you!" Ravi roared, activating Gorilla Slam as he conjured a rock made out of Morph-X from the ground and heaved it above him until he threw it at the ground in front of the titan. "Gorilla Slam, UGH!"

"Jackrabbit Spin Strike!" Zoey screamed, activating her signature Beast-X Mode attack as she bounced around and spun like a top on the way down, striking the ground before jumping back to the gang.

"Okay, Cruise, let's flip things up for this guy! Beast-X Cheetah Charge!" Devon shouted, charging at Heatran and dashing below it in a cheetah-like fireball before he struck the ground behind it and returned to the others.

"Beast Blast!" Nate and Steel cried, firing their Striker Morphers and striking the ground at several more points to further trap the Heatran Colossal.

"Flint, help them dig! Don't let the Heatran Colossal escape!" Zayto called to the Fault Ripper as he joined his team and nodded, showing off his burrowing expertise by drilling through the rocks as if they were nothing but sticks and stones that are easily breakable before he came out from behind Heatran and returned to them.

"Now, Pikachu! Iron Tail, let's do it!" Ash bellowed, allowing Pikachu to strike the earth with Iron Tail and causing a shockwave to send more rocks over, covering the Heatran Colossal.

"Your turn, Cinderace! Use your Pyro Ball!"

"Go for it, buddy! Use your Pyro Ball as well!" Sarah and Zoey cried, allowing their Cinderace to crush more rocks and have them tumble on Heatran from above.

"Kit, Ella! Mega Evolve and use Luster Purge!" Race shouted, activating his Mega Ring on his suit's left wrist and having Kit and Ella Mega Evolve before his Eon Siblings fired their signature attacks in a combo that further puts the Heatran Colossal underground.

"Come on out, Mamoswine!" Dawn (trainer) said as she quickly brought out her Twin Tusk Pokemon.

"Ready, Dawn!" the mammoth-pig-like Ice Type rumbled, ready for battle.

"Use Ancient Power!"

"Let's...RUMBLE!" Mamoswine boomed, slamming his front paws on the ground and firing dozens of smaller rocks to rain down on the remainder of the area the Heatran Colossal was standing on, finishing the work done and causing the titan to sink underground.

"Alright!"

"It worked!" Ash and Pikachu smiled, relieved that Cynthia's idea worked.

"What?!" gasped Saturn in shock as he, Mars, and Jupiter became distracted from seeing what the heroes on Sarah's side did, long enough for Cynthia, Doug, Delilah, and the Pokemon on their end to act now.

"Petal Blizzard!"

"Persian, Blossom, Zorro/Mischief, Kurma, Sokka! Power Gem/Burning Jealousy, Frenzy Plant, and Aerial Ace/Liquidation!"

"Glacial Lance, Glastrier!"

"Dark Pulse!"

"Flamethrower!"

"Aurora Beam!"

"Charge Beam!" Through their combined powers, Cynthia, Doug, Delilah, and Sarah's Pokemon all attacked Team Galactic's Pokemon and knocked them all down with the Legendary Beasts, Roserade, Calyrex and his sons, and the Alola Royal Family's Special Ops squad landing the first blows and leaving them open for the Urshifu Trio to finish things off.

"Ching Wan, Hashimoto, Wang Lun, go!" Doug shouted at the trio.

"Yes, Your Majesties! Ching Wan, Hashimoto, it's time for our new combo attack we've been practicing since coming home: the Urshifu Sun Vulcan Hurricane! Aura Sphere!" Ching Wan called, prepping an Aura Sphere.

"Right!" the Secret Armor Brothers agreed as they got into position and they all shouted, "Ready, GO!"

Ching Wan and Hashimoto ran off as Wang Luna dashed forward and jumped into the air with a front-flipping somersault, firing his Aura Sphere at Ching Wan first in a ball pass, "Ching Wan, 1!"

"2! Hashi!" Ching Wan screamed, using Wicked Blow to pass the Aura Sphere to his brother.

"Yeah! 3, Surging Strikes! Wang Lun!" Hashimoto called, using Surging Strikes to juggle the Aura Sphere and launch it into the air for Wang Lun to deliver the final end-ball blow as he jumped into the air and hit the ball in a kick as he twisted himself until he was upside down and had his eye on the shocked Purugly, Skuntank, and Toxicroak.

"Kung Fu Bear Shoot!" he roared, sending the Aura Sphere careening down toward the three powerful Team Galactic Pokemon that hit them hard and sent them tumbling back, badly bruised but not beaten.

For a moment, it seemed like everything was finally going well with what the heroes had done. But, on their end, despite Ash and Pikachu's victor cheers, Sarah and Race noticed something off despite the success of Cynthia's plan; as they heard a large crackling sound from above, they looked up and suddenly gasped in shock and horror as they shouted, "Get back, all of you!"

"Heads up, Ash, I think the dimensional gate above us isn't gonna have that titan call it quits!"

The pair was right; purple lightning bolts from where the dimensional gate was opening sparked and crackled loudly as if a more unnatural and darker power was emerging from the gate. Then, without warning, they shot down toward the Heatran Colossal as one of the bolts hit it, charging up the Flame Plate from within it and causing it to erupt with tremendous power, shocking everybody as they gasped from seeing the titan break out of its stone and dirt prison via another dangerous power surge.

The eruption came close to the heroes and Pikachu and Piplup nearly fell from where they once stood as they tried to escape, causing Toothless and Winter to come to their rescue just in time.

"Pipsqueak, look! Another beam's shooting out of that fire bug's pothole!" shouted Etenratus, directing everyone towards what looked like a final Plate Beam being shot from the titan towards the dimensional gate and opened it, the gateway showing the world where Cyrus disappeared to finally appearing in the sky.

"What's going on?!" asked Ash, bewildered.

"What is that thing?" Lillie questioned worriedly, seeing the dimensional gate finally open.

Down below, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were beyond ecstatic as the unexpected end result of their test subject succeeded in their task for it to open the dimensional gate and showing them the path to the new world Cyrus had gone to, "The dimensional gate!"

"Master Cyrus!"

Saturn then smirked at the heroes as he sneered, "Looks like we won at the end of it all. The dimensional gate is opening and now, we will finally find and bring back Master Cyrus for the creation of our new world!"

"You fools!"

"What have you done?"

"No, what did you do!?" Doug, Cyrus, and Hashimoto frowned in anger and shock at Team Galactic.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"It's even bigger now and it's still moving despite being trapped earlier!" Kiawe and Sophocles fretted.

"This isn't good, the dimensional gate just opened and now, with that final power surge, the Heatran Colossal is even more powerful than ever," Sarah breathed, her eyes widened with shock underneath her helmet.

"The plan didn't work!" Brock gasped in disbelief just as Dawn nearly fell to her death before Solon and Tyson managed to grab her in time with Wooloo, Ponyta, Scorch, and Sarah's Piplup along with Pikachu and her partner jumping in to give them a head.

"Hold on, Dawn!" the Solonosaurus cried, keeping her grip on Dawn's left hand (being careful not to poke her with her talons) while Tyson had her right hand.

"We gotcha!" Tyson shouted, straining to not let go.

"Thanks, Solon, Tyson!" Dawn cried in relief as she was pulled back up and they regrouped with the others.

"By the looks of it, I don't think all that rock and dirt is going to be enough to hold it down now," Amelia put in, growing deeply concerned.

"Sarah, what's your plan?" Ollie asked the princess.

"What'll we do now, Island Girl? Do we run for the Spear Pillar or should we try to trap it again to attempt another rescue?" Race questioned his girlfriend.

Sarah grimly looked at the monster before everybody on their side as she just said to them, Ollie, and her boyfriend, "No, with all that power on it from the dimensional gate now that it's opened, it'll blow off our next attempt to trap it. There's not much we can do unless we have a miracle on our hands; I say we head for the Spear Pillar, take cover, and prepare for one last-ditch effort to destroy the titan and save Heatran and the Flame Plate via a fight to the death. If we have to, we must use our Zords as they're our last resort. It may be a gamble on our part but it's our only course of action left now that our trap gamble's a bust."

"But, that titan would end up melting our Zords and we'll die if we fight it like that!" Izzy (Green DF Ranger) shouted in horror.

"True, Izzy, but we'll be doing our world a big favor if we're to find any means of saving Hearan, getting it and the Flame Plate back, and closing the dimensional gate so Team Galactic won't have a chance to find Cyrus and resume their plans for building their new world and killing all of us in the process themselves."

"Dark," muttered Javi worriedly.

"You're right, there's not much we can do now, Sarah. Let's go," Zayto reassured. Sarah gave Zayto a thankful nod before she ordered, "All soldiers, retreat! Head for the Spear Pillar!"

The gang was right to be worried about the Heatran Colossal now as they made their retreat and went to the Spear Pillar; this time, instead of flames and molten magma, it was now covered in black igneous rocks and its appearance from the lava changed to make it even more of a menacing monster than it was before.

"That titan sure has gotten bigger from that power surge!" "And, I'm not liking the new look either!" Nate and Steel remarked as they try to overtake the Heatran Colossal again as everybody retreated towards the Spear Pillar for their last-ditch plan of attack.

"Guys, you don't suppose the Heatran Colossal is still getting power from the dimensional gate during the whole time it was trying to open after it appeared several hours ago, did it?" Breezeon questioned as he rode atop Aurorus' head.

"Yes, and due to getting bathed in that power, its body is under intense pressure. If this continues, there could be an enormous explosion that blows off the Spear Pillar and the top of Mt. Coronet. No one, including Heatran, will be left standing after that," Brock nodded grimly, explaining the grim circumstances of what could happen if they fail to protect everyone.

"We have to go welcome Master Cyrus back!" Saturn called as he, Mars, Jupiter, and their Pokemon reentered their helicopter and prepared to head for the Spear Pillar during their getaway.

But, the Tomoe Squad, Croagunk, Blissey, and Roserade weren't going to let them get away that easily as they rushed them in an attempt to stop them in their tracks but not without Jupiter and Skuntank making their syndicate's getaway easier, knowing they had no more time to waste against the heroes they fought against and lost to in battle.

"Skuntank, blind them with Smokescreen!"

"So long, suckers! HAAAAA!"

The Pokemon in question were blinded by Skuntank's Smokescreen and with their pursuers out of the way, Team Galactic made their way to the Spear Pillar and the dimensional gate. But, they wouldn't get far after they took off for Willow chased after them and fired her webs, sticking them to the helicopter's tail boom and shocking the passengers inside once they realized Asha and Aiyon's shared dragon was trying to bring them down.

"Alright, Willow!"

"Good on ya, lass!" Hashimoto and Wang Lun cried.

"Hang in there, Willow!" Ching Wan encouraged, seeing Willow holding her own as best as she could while tugging on her webs to keep Team Galactic from escaping, growling with determination as she took the strain.

---

Sarah's group managed to get to the Spear Pillar at the peak but they were only barely able to make it because, at that very moment, the Heatran Colossal was closing in on them with each step it makes. It continued to grow with overflowing power from the dimensional gate and it seemed as though the situation was hopeless despite their best efforts but regardless, they knew they had to stand their ground to keep Team Galactic from succeeding in their plans for a new world with their attempt to find and bring back Cyrus.

"There's the titan!" shouted Zayto, seeing the Heatran Colossal as it crawled over, forcing the heroes to brace themselves for their final battle with it with the Lake Guardians, Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia preparing to fight as well.

"This is bad!"

"If it keeps up, it'll explode!" Ash and Dawn (trainer) grimaced.

"I really hope we don't have to use our Zords including King, Mufasa, and Leo if things get any worse, Sarah," Devon prayed.

"Me, too, Devon. But, at this rate, we might not have a choice," Sarah agreed.

But, none of the heroes atop the Spear Pillar would have to resort to such drastic measures because before they knew it, Dialga, Giratina, and Palkia's Pokemon Gems started to glow again but shimmering much brighter as if reacting to a presence that they're truly born or made from. Feeling their power, the Creation Trio, the Lake Guardians, and everybody else gathered looked up at the dimensional gate as a mysterious figure suddenly appeared from it to quell the conflict at hand.

"What is that?!" gasped Steel in surprise until everybody saw that the figure was the Original One, the Alpha Pokemon: Arceus.

"...Arceus!" cried Sarah in shock and relief after a moment of silence.

"It's Arceus!" Ash and Dawn gasped.

"Father!" Azelf balked, shocked and relieved along with a stunned Uxie and Mesprit.

"Arceus, THE Arceus, the Original One the legends of Sinnoh told everybody about?!" exclaimed Aiyon, completely stunned.

"Sweet Dixie Butterfrees!" Frosmoth gawked with widened eyes.

"He's even bigger in person now that we're no longer in a vision," Mallow breathed.

"So, that's the Original One, the creator of all of us and this world," Keldeo breathed in total awe.

"He's way bigger seeing him up close," added an awestruck Luna.

"And, in person!" Dusk agreed.

Even an amazed Sophocles couldn't hold back his awe as he commented, "This is amazing! I can't believe it; throughout these past two or so years, we've met Nebby as Solgaleo, the Lake Guardians, the Creation Trio, Rayquaza, Latios and Latias, Eternatus, Zacian, Zamazenta, Xerneas, Zygarde, Magearna, Baxcalibur, Chien-Pao, and now, Arceus! What more can any of us trainers ask for?"

"We finally got to meet the Original One," breathed Lana, her eyes twinkling.

"This, this is, so, moving... Just seeing, the Original One, here to help us save the world, fills my heart with pride that burns hotter than the FIRES OF WELA VOLCANO AND AN INFERNO OVERDRIVE!" Kiawe sniffed as he cried with overwhelming joy over Arceus' arrival.

"This is incredible!" Lillie finished, amazed.

The Power Rangers and Solon with the rest of Sarah's family were all utterly stunned silence at Arceus' arrival along with Brock, the Eight Queens, the Six Spirits, Cyrus, Qibli, Smolder, Blaze, Reader, Pikachu, Piplup, and the dragons. Even Cynthia watched in silence with the others (including the Teen Titans as they helped to fight Team Galactic), knowing that because of the danger Team Galactic and their goal of finding Cyrus and the resurrection of their mission to create a new world of their own making forced the Original One to cross over and stop them to help the heroes save the world and Heatran from their dastardly plot.

Finally noticing Arceus, the Heatran Colossal stared deeply into the Alpha Pokemon while he did the same to the monster in return. Team Galactic was shocked by what they were seeing; they had hoped to cross over to the world where Cyrus disappeared so they can find and get him back to them but they ended up summoning the Original One instead when he caught wind of the heroes' losing battle against them and the monstrous titan they created.

Knowing what he had to do, Arceus then used his signature move, Judgement, firing a ball of light into the sky before it exploded and split into a cascade of energized meteors that struck the top of Mt. Coronet, targeting Team Galactic somewhere in the area. Thankfully, Sarah used her Nephilim Powers to create a force field that shielded everybody with her at the Spear Pillar so they don't get caught in the blast with some of the meteor hitting Team Galactic's helicopter.

"Run, Willow!"

"Look out, guys!" Hashimoto and Ching Wan shouted to Willow, the Jungle Fury Rangers, and the Teen Titans, all of them scrambling to safety with Willow breaking free from her webs and going back to Hashimoto just in time before she could be hit.

The same, however, cannot be said the same for Team Galactic; with the unrelenting barrage of meteors from Judgment damaging their helicopter beyond repair and normal flight conditions, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, their Pokemon, and their recruits with them had no choice but to eject themselves from the destroyed aircraft as they parachuted out and started to float safely down while it exploded down below.

"They're out!"

"Now is our chance to kick the galactic butt!" Robin and Starfire shouted, seeing Team Galactic gliding down on their parachutes.

"Right! Use Power Whip!" Cynthia agreed as she and Raven (Teen Titans) took advantage of their descent to trap them via Power Whip and her shadows.

"You're...through! HYAH!" Roserade roared, lassoing the immobilized syndicate in Raven's shadowy grip.

"No fair! Now, why in the world would you two go and do that!?" snapped Mars, throwing a tantrum once she and her colleagues have been tied to a nearby rock.

"Skuntank, try and see if you can bite through all these vines!" Jupiter demanded, having her partner try to break free of their prison only to stop at the sight of Entei, Raikou, and Suicune as they, the Teen Titans, Doug, Delilah, their Pokemon, Cynthia, Blissey, and Croagunk appeared.

The Legendary Beasts all glared hard at Skuntank with a shared snarl, daring him to try and break himself and his cohorts out of their binds and escape their fury so the frustrated Skunk Pokemon just gave up and huffed while he turned away, knowing he and his syndicate are defeated.

"Team Galactic, it's all over," Cyborg frowned.

"You've nowhere to run now. And, if any of your grunts are nearby, they'll all be rounded up and carted off as well," Doug added, glaring heavily at the villains.

"Just give it up, that dimensional gate you've yearned for is now being closed by Arceus," agreed Cynthia, showing Team Galactic Arceus howling and closing the dimensional gate to ensure that their leader has forever doomed himself and his own syndicate and will not be returning to them at all.

The Sinnoh syndicate was horrified by what Arceus was doing to ensure that their wrongdoings don't go unpunished and that the world they were trying to destroy for the sake of a new one they wanted (one that is without war, willpower, knowledge, emotion, and spirit) is not to be trifled with as long as he and the heroes protecting it are around to ensure that it never dies. They had come so close to reuniting with Cyrus and fulfilling their main goal and doing so out of an unexpected success on their part but now, it was all being undone by the one Poekmon that had come to help stop them and their evil plans, for good.

"Arcues, don't do it! NOOOO!" Saturn yelled, his pleas going unheard as Arceus continued to close the dimensional gate.

But, it was too late for Team Galactic (whom the Teen Titans surrounded to ensure that they won't escape with the assistance of the Legendary Beasts) to do anything; Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter could only watch in complete horrified hatred at the dimensional gate being closed by Arceus as he continued his work. All the while, the heroes continued to watch as the portal finally closed and the clouds disappeared soon after, revealing the night sky for the entire war had lasted the whole evening and stretched out into the night which nobody on either side, not even the heroes themselves, had noticed.

"Arceus, what a fascinating creature, you are..." Gobber breathed with a fascinated and grateful smile.

"You, you're really something," Jakanee agreed quietly, sharing Gobber's fascination and being left speechless.

However, it wasn't over yet for the heroes and Arceus as the Heatran Colossal gave off another roar and started to burn up, expelling more streams of molten lava and flames from its cursed body. As the next heatwave struck, all of the Fire Types and Rock Types along with the dragons gathered managed to shield the more vulnerable Pokemon from the heat while Race and Sarah countered the powerful blast with their Elemental Manipulation, directing away from them while Arceus watched from above. He stared deeply into the titan, sensing his Flame Plate and the real Heatran within it until he got a call from an old friend.

"Arceus!"

Pikachu cried out to Arceus and got his attention, the Alpha Pokemon setting his sights on him, Ash, Dawn, her Piplup, and Brock and remembering the time when he first met them in Michina Town under extreme circumstances, circumstances that forced Dialga to help them as well as a certain young woman and her ancestor right an ancient wrong that occurred which involved the Jewel of Life, an object he once birthed to contain his power from a select number of his Life Plates and how they all valiantly helped to return it to him.

"Awesome," remarked Ash, remembering what a great Pokemon Arceus truly was.

The Alpha Pokemon then turned towards Sarah as she removed her helmet and approached him as she apologized for being too late to save Heatran and the Flame Plate which forced him to take action, "Arceus, please, forgive us! We weren't able to save Heatran in time before that titan took him over and sealed him and your Flame Plate inside its body! It became so bad when the dimensional gate opened and Team Galactic was close to retrieving their former leader and completing their mission that you were forced to leave your dimension to help us stop this madness!"

"I already saw it in your hearts and knew you were all put in such a carious position because of Team Galactic and what they had done with my Flame Plate and Heatran, Princess. It's alright," Arceus reassured warmly, not holding anything against his old friends, their new friends, Sarah, and her family.

"Arceus, all of us want to save Heatran and return your Flame Plate to you now that Team Galactic is taken care of and their leader is gone forever! Will you help us get them back?" Zayto pleaded.

"We don't want to see this region lost forever because of their sins and what they've done to the forest the forest Pokemon called home!" agreed Zoey (Yellow Beast Morphers Ranger).

"Please, Arceus, help us!" begged Dawn (trainer) in agreement.

"If that giant Heatran Colossal gets any closer and explodes without warning, the Sinnoh Region will never be the same again!" Kiawe put in.

Sarah's human family, their Pokemon, dragons, and friends, Zayto, Devon, Casey, and their teams, Cynthia, and Brock remained silent as they watched and waited to see what Arceus' reaction to their pleas would be. Everybody waited intensely, wanting to know whether or not he would truly help them save Heatran and retrieve the Flame Plate now that Team Galactic is no longer a problem. But, they knew it could never be a given even if they beg him hard enough.

"Arceus!" Pikachu begged, despite also feeling extremely nervous that Arceus would turn down their offer to him no matter what he personally thought.

Seeing that their father needed some convincing through a plan and knowing that he doesn't want everyone to rush a rescue attempt given the danger factor, the Lake Guardians approached him along with the Creation Trio, his eyes glowing red and those of the Lake Guardians glowing bright yellow. At that moment, even if only for a few seconds, they agreed on a plan and quietly relayed what they and all their friends gathered along with the rest of the heroes have to do to the Creation Trio, leaving Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina satisfied as they gave them knowing nods and they joined up with the others.

"Guys, Princess, there is a way we can save Heatran!"

"And, get Father's Flame Plate back."

"B-But, we n-n-need your h-h-h-help to d-do i-it," Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie announced.

"Please, Arceus. Whatever you and your children have in mind, we'll do whatever it takes to help you," Sarah vowed just as Cynthia and the rest of their party finally regrouped after taking extra precautions to ensure that Team Galactic's field commanders, their Pokemon, and their grunts with them do not escape on their end while they're gone.

"Hey, everyone!"

"Kids!"

"Baby!" Cynthia, Doug, and Delilah cried in relief, causing Sarah to run over and hug her parents while discarding her helmet as she dropped it.

"Mom, Dad!"

"Cynthia!" Ash gasped.

Cynthia, enlightened and relieved to see Arceus as well asked him, "You came to help us, didn't you?"

"I understand what you've all been through, Cynthia. My Flame Plate, found and misused by Team Galactic, is the source of this terrible calamity. I know how we can retrieve it but it is imperative that we rescue Heatran and remove him from that monster to ensure that no more harm is done to Mt. Coronet. I'll gladly let you use my power for this battle," Arceus informed, nodding.

"Arceus, you're cool!"

"Thank you so much!" Pikachu and Dawn's Piplup replied, feeling grateful for their old friend agreeing to help everyone.

"Great! Arceus, thank you so much!" Dawn (trainer) thanked, also grateful and relieved for the Alpha Pokemon's help.

"We appreciate it, Arceus."

"We're glad you're able to lend us your power so you can help us but how are we going to deal with that titan?" Devon and Nate replied, grateful for Arceus' help but also wondering where to start.

Turning back to the Heatran Colossal as it continued to grow from the intense power it had, and as if to answer Nate's question, the Original One summoned his current 17 Life Plates and choose to bring out the Water Plate. When he coated himself in its power to begin "Phase 1" of his plan, he turned into a Water Type as his white body now contrasts with his yellow parts in various shades of blue and he reared his head back, summoning a giant body of water as if he was summoning the entire ocean before him.

"WHAT THE-?!"

"SO SWEET!" gasped a shocked Pikachu and Piplup, remembering how powerful and yet terrifying Arceus can be when he's at full strength and using the power of any one of his Life Plates or his normal attacks including Judgment.

"What a beauty..." Reignstorm breathed in awe.

"He manipulates nature just like me but through his Life Plates, fascinating," Rajhu commented, feeling deeply inspired by Arceus' power.

"How joyous! He's truly a wonderful Pokemon if he can create an ocean!" smiled Starfire (Teen Titans) as her friends were left stunned.

Arceus, once he was ready, prepared to fire his makeshift ocean into the Heatran Colossal as it growled back in response but this worried Ash as he gasped, "Arceus, wait! The water is dangerous! When we attacked Heatran like this before while using ice, it caused a massive explosion!"

"No, Ash!" Azelf shouted, greatly shocking Ash and Pikachu as they swiftly turned to the Spirit of Willpower.

To their surprise, Azelf just smiled and reassured the Kanto Trainer and his partner, "Please, just trust Father. He knows better than anyone else how much of a danger his own Life Plates can be and what their weaknesses are, even his own children. We shouldn't be worried about him; our Father's power and skill in using his own Life Plates is second to none when it comes to fighting against other Pokemon accordingly when our world is under threat and he's needed. He'll tell us what to do once he finishes 'Step 1' of his plan, count on it!"

Arceus nodded in agreement to Ash after hearing his son from Lake Valor speak up for him and even Dawn knew what they were thinking as she said to her old friend, "Azelf's right, Ash. Arceus wouldn't want us to worry about him since he knows what to do regarding his Flame Plate and what weaknesses it has, right?"

"I agree; if he doesn't know how to handle his own plates, he'd be lumbering about and we'd have to point him in the right direction," Robin agreed.

"Dude, the Original One, having used the power of his plates for so long, knows what's up," Beast Boy concurred, leaving Ash to concede after Sarah gave him a knowing nod to encourage him to put all of his faith in Arceus just as she and everybody else are doing now.

"'Kay, Arceus! We all trust you!"

"We believe in you!" Twilight shouted in agreement just as Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit joined their father as he howled and they turned to the heroes.

"Our trust is in you, too!" declared the Lake Guardians as they and the Creation Trio (the Renegade, Temporal, and Spatial Pokemon roaring in agreement after joining their family) also placed their faith in their friends, old and new, and the little princess and her family.

"Then, we should do whatever we can, too," Cynthia agreed, knowing what they all have to do.

"Alright! Let's all save Heatran!" Ash declared determinedly.

"Hold on! Willpower, like what you have right now, isn't enough, Ash!" Zoey exclaimed pointedly.

"She's right, how are we supposed to deal with that kind of intense heat?" Brock agreed, knowing they need to think rationally.

"If we just run up to it and touch that thing while it's still in that form, the titan will burn us all into cinders and that's if we can even get close to it," Ravi pointed out.

"And, the Ice Type and Water Type attacks we have on us along with Baxcalibur's ice breath just don't cut the mustard unlike what Arceus is about to pull off. So, how are we supposed to help fight that monster?" Steel added.

"I know of one spirit amongst the Six we have who would be able to help us and Arceus," Sarah noted before turning to Rajhu. "Hey, Rajhu! You think you can use your Elemental Magic to help Arceus hold the Heatran titan down long enough to get him out?"

"Of course, my magic could be of use to Arceus so as to give us an opportunity to break the poor Pokemon out," the Spirit of Nature nodded.

"Baby, what are you planning to do?" Delilah asked her daughter.

"I have an idea on how to break Heatran out while Arceus deals with the titan but I'm gonna need all the firepower I can get on my end. Blitz, Curly, Cinderace, you won't mind if you and Hiccup and his friends come with me and Rajhu?" Sarah asked her three chosen Pokemon.

"Sure!"

"Okay!"

"You got it!" Blitz, Curly, and Cinderace agreed, putting their full trust in their human mother and partner.

"Sarah, are you sure you want us to come with you guys?" Hiccup asked as he and his friends were left surprised along with their dragons.

"Your strength will be invaluable in setting Heatran free from his prison and the new Beast-X Dragon Armor and Dragon Scale Armor on you will allow you to endure all that heat from within the titan. You'll be fully protected the whole time we're inside it."

"Get out!"

"Sweet!"

"I am READY, baby!"

"O-Okay..."

"Let's do it!" Toothless, Stryka, Hookfang, Meatlug, and Stormfly cried, all of them feeling ready for battle.

"Alright!"

"Our first rescue!"

"YIPPEE!"

"I'm ready!"

"Me, too!"

"All for one!"

"And, one for all!"

"YEAH!" the Vikings' partner Pokemon cheered.

"We're ready to do our part as well!"

"For the sake of our world and Heatran, that thing must be stopped!" Stoick and Gobber replied with determined nods, ready to help out as well.

"Hold on, Sarah! Fighting fire with fire sounds dangerous! You all could end up hurting yourselves even with your new gear in place to protect you!" pleaded Dawn, not liking the idea.

"No need to worry!" Ash reassured confidently, too confidently for Dawn's liking.

"Ash is right, Dawn. Sarah has been through so many life-and-death situations like this before, this comes as second nature to her. But, we trust her with all our hearts just as she would with hers," Mallow smiled warmly in agreement.

"We got her back so whatever happens to her and the others, we'll be ready," agreed Sophocles with a reassuring smile.

Lillie nodded in determination as she explained to Dawn, "Dawn, what we're saying may sound dangerous to you but this is the only plan we have while Arceus holds the Heatran Colossal down long enough for Sarah and everyone going with her to break Heatran free. I think we stand a better chance if they and Arceus deal with the Heatran titan on both fronts, from within and out. While Arceus holds it down from the outside, they'll free the real Heatran and the Flame Plate from the inside, saving both of them and our world without any casualties as long as we put our faith in each other and be ready for anything. We don't feel it, we know it!"

Lana and Kiawe gave knowing nods and reassuring smiles as Dawn frowned in disappointment, "I wouldn't say that knowing what's at stake..."

"Oh, really?" her Piplup insisted as he climbed up his right shoulder. "That didn't stop you from entering the Grand Festival before, did it? And, besides, you always said that throughout our journey."

Dawn was baffled by her partner remembering her previous mentality throughout their Sinnoh journey with Ash and Brock, "What, you're telling me you want to help, too?"

"Yeah!"

Knowing that she was officially outnumbered, the Twinleaf trainer finally groaned in defeat and agreed to the plan, "Okay, I'll go with you!"

"Thanks, Dawn. And, don't worry, I'll make sure you and Piplup are fully guarded," Sarah thanked, gently taking her hands and giving her a comforting nod and smile.

Brock smiled warmly and knowingly as he turned to Cynthia and told her, "You heard all of that, what are we gonna do?"

"I guess we'll be their backups," Cynthia smiled as the others nodded in agreement, knowing what they have to do while Sarah and her party are busy.

"Alright, honey, do what you must and know we're with you no matter what. But, come back immediately the instant you sense any danger!" Doug warned.

"Right!" Sarah, Dawn, and the Vikings agreed.

"We're coming, too! Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina will help Father stop the titan while we're inside it!" Azelf offered as he, Mesprit, and Uxie joined them.

"This could be dangerous so make sure to stay close to us at all times!" Mesprit warned.

"W-We'll lend y-y-you our p-p-p-power while Father h-h-holds Heatran's t-titan d-d-d-down," Uxie continued.

"Thanks, guys. You three, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Arceus are forever in our debt on behalf of the Alolan Royal Family," Sarah nodded to the Lake Guardians.

With her party ready, Sarah took out her Dragon-X Key and Dragon Armor Morpher and then inserted the key before she pointed the Morpher towards her Viking friends, helping them don their Dragon Scale Armor with Toothless and his friends nodding and doing the same as she pointed the Dragon Armor Morpher at them as they shouted, "Dragon Armor, Get in Gear/Dragon Armor, Get in Gear!"

Once they were all set, Sarah turned to the others and said, "Listen up, gang! Hold down the fort while we rescue Heatran!"

She looked around at all her friends and family staying behind before turning her attention to the Creation Trio, "Should anything happen to us while we're inside the Heatran Colossal, it'll be up to you to destroy it and save Heatran and retrieve the Flame Plate in our place! Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, I need you three to stay with Arceus and do what you can to help him hold down that monster while we do our job from the inside! Stand by and prepare to attack once we're out and we have both the Flame Plate and Heatran with us!"

The three Sinnoh Deities roared and nodded in agreement as they flew over to their father, surrounding the Heatran Titan as they braced themselves for the rescue attempt's success on the princess and her party's part. Seeing what they had in mind as per the princess' pleas to them, Reshiram nodded as he joined the Creation Trio with all four Legendaries before covering it in a cross formation to prevent the titan from escaping on their ends.

Immediately understanding Sarah's feelings and knowing that they have to act now, Arceus roared as he conjured up four symbols around the monster. Once he was certain they had it trapped, it unleashed a powerful Water Type attack as the water it created barreled down towards it and covered it with a water-like force field similar to what Tapu Fini had done with Ash, Kiawe, and Sarah's family at Poni Island.

It looks as though despite Ash's worries for Arceus and his Water Type attack and his trusting him, his previous concern for him was justified but unwarranted as Azelf said; as it looked around the water dome around it, the Heatran Colossal tried to escape as it trudged forward, it couldn't break through the barrier as it stung the titan and forced it back. It tried to move forward again but nothing happened and the barrier didn't budge. It tried to break through again by roaring and unleashing its molten magma against it but the dome didn't warp and simply cooled the magma down in an instant.

"Unreal!"

"Awesome!" Pikachu and Dawn's Piplup gasped in wonder.

"Hey, look! The dome didn't break when it tried to explode!"

"Is this, the true power of, the Original One?" breathed a stunned Toothless and Stryka.

"Amazing, there's no explosion even with all that water hitting the intense heat from the Heatran Colossal," Brock said in awe.

"That's the power of Arceus. He even has the power to control the natural order of things in our world," Cythina acknowledged in agreement.

"*Now, my children!*" Arceus called to the Lake Guardians, the three of them nodding as they used Psychic to hold the Vikings, their dragons, their Pokemon partners, and Sarah, Blitz, Curly, and Cinderace along with Dawn and her Piplip to begin their rescue attempt.

"Wow, they're all using Psychic!" Ash gaped with a bright smile as he and the others watched.

"That's amazing!" Javi added in amazement.

"Are they going to use this to help us out?" Astrid asked Sarah, looking at herself in Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit's power.

"Wow, we're really flying!" Dawn (trainer) beamed as Rajhu joined the group.

"We haven't much time, we've got to hurry!" Rajhu warned everybody with him as they nodded as they all flew towards the encased Heatran Colossal.

"Princess, when my children bring you and your party inside my water dome, you and your friends and family use your abilities to create an opening in the titan! And then, as soon as you all reach Heatran, use whatever means you all have to set him free, retrieve my Flame Plate, and prepare him for your escape!" Arceus warned as he watched and continued to hold down the titan.

"Arceus!" Sarah called as they flew towards the dome and the Heatran Colossal and she briefly locked eyes with the Original One along the way.

"Princess, I'm happy that I finally got to meet you... But, knowing what's at stake and in such sweet sorrow should you all prove successful in rescuing Heatran and my Flame Plate, I'm counting on you!"

Sarah nodded with a soft smile as she looked back ahead of her, she, Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit leading everybody in her party into the water dome holding the Heatran Colossal as Arceus continued to hold it back with the Creation Trio and Reshiram standing by to attack should they succeed and everyone else remaining at the Spear Pillar as their backup should they fail their rescue attempt.

"Alright, everybody in!" Sarah shouted.

"Man the helms! Dive, dive!"

"Don't bump your beanies!" Dawn's Piplup and Sarah's Cinderace called as they went inside.

"We're counting on you," Brock prayed.

"Be careful, baby!" Delilah called as they disappeared into the dome while Magearna gently comforts the queen.

Inside the water dome, Sarah and her party looked around as they went deeper and deeper and saw the Heatran Colossal below them. In the distance between them and the monster, they could make out its shape amidst the boiling magma and the bubbles they passed by as they swam. They finally reached the Heatran titan seconds later once they were inside the core of the water dome but they were shocked to see how truly big it was up close compared to at a distance.

"Okay, that's creepy," gulped Fishlegs. "Wow, it's bigger than we thought!" Tuffnut balked.

"Good thing we have Arceus' water dome keeping it tucked in before it could explode," breathed Stormfly, feeling relieved for Arceus' help.

"No kidding, I think we might just survive being blown to bits if our rescue and retrieval go according to plan," Toothless agreed.

"If Arceus can't hold it once it somehow breaks from his grasp, all of Sinnoh and the Spear Pillar along with everybody else will be wiped out," added Meatlug.

"Then, I guess we better get hopping and make our move while we still can," Sarah's Cinderace remarked.

"You're right, Cinderace."

"Yeah, and the first thing we need to do is to get inside that thing's body," Sarah and Hiccup concurred, knowing that they have to act fast.

Sarah turned to Fishlegs and Dawn with the first step of their rescue attempt, "Fishlegs, Dawn, try combining Piplup's Whirlpool and Dratini's Twister."

"But, how will Whirlpool and Twister together stop that monster in its tracks?" Fishlegs questioned.

"You'll see; once that happens and that thing's paralyzed, we'll have a window of opportunity to sneak inside its body. Curly and Blitz will add to that once you're done with your combo."

"A-Alright, ready to fly, Dratini?" Fishlegs nodded, steeling himself as he turned to his partner.

"Ready!" Dratini cried with a determined nod.

Dawn and Piplup nodded to each other as they, Dratini, and Fishlegs made the first move, "Piplup, use Whirlpool!" "Splashdown, YEAH!"

"...H-Here goes. Dratini, use Twister!"

"Who-o-o-o-o-oaaaaaaaaa! Gettin' dizzy?!" Using both Whirlpool and Twister, Dawn's Piplup and Dratini combined both moves to create a giant whirlpool that was spinning faster and bigger than an average Whirlpool attack was capable of.

"Okay, Blitz, Curly, your turn! Use Twin Thunderbolt and electrify the Whirlpool Twister!" Sarah called, allowing Blitz and his crush to fire Thunderbolt and electrify Piplup and Dratini's Whirlpool Twister to form a four-attack combo.

"Oh, now I get it! The electricity from the Thunderbolt is coating the water while it's spinning like an uncontrollable top! That was your plan, right, Sarah? To paralyze that creature using water and electricity in a spinning top formation?" Zenna smirked in realization.

"That's right! Dawn, Fishlegs, this is your chance! Fire the Thunder Whirlpool Twister at the Heatran Colossal, now!"

"You got it! Dratini...!"

"Piplup...!"

"...THUNDER WHIRLPOOL TWISTER!" Dawn and Fishlegs shouted determinedly, allowing Dratini and Piplup to fire the four-attack combo at the Heatran Colossal which circled the monster as it made contact and coated it in a glowing yellow whirlpool whirling at the speed of sound.

"I think it's working!"

"It's trapped and the combo attack is paralyzing it completely!" Tuffnut and Ruffnut cried, seeing the results of Blitz, Curly, Piplup, and Dratini's combo attack.

"Rajhu, can you fire a Water Arrow at that thing?" Sarah asked the Spirit of Life from her left.

"I won't miss, Princess," Rajhu nodded, preparing a Water Arrow as he took aim at the Heatran Colossal. "I'm ready!"

"Now, it's our turn! Toothless, Plasma Blast!" Hiccup shouted, having his best friend fire a plasma shot while Rajhu fires his Water Arrow at the same time, the blast converging with the arrow to form a Plasma Water Arrow straight into the titan's body and penetrated it to the Flame Plate and the real Heatran's current spot.

"Alright!"

"We did it!"

"Good job, bud!"

"Now, the way's open for us to enter the monstrosity's body!"

"Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit, let's go! Everybody, stay close and don't get separated!" Sarah called to the Lake Guardians, all of them and her party quickly entering the hole as fast as they could until they reached the core of the Heatran Colossal's body where they found the Flame Plate and Heatran behind it but trapped within the binds holding it captive.

"Hey, look! There he is!" Blitz cried in alarm.

"Heatran!" Stryka shouted.

"Look, there's Heatran!" Dawn screamed as everybody saw the bound Heatran as he then woke up and became startled, feeling a little scared in his current predicament as strings of power touched him.

"Oh, dear! The poor fella's scared!"

"Hang on, darling! Everything's alright!"

"We're here to help you, our friend!" Edgar, Henna, and Stoick called to the frightened Lava Dome Pokemon.

"LOOK OUT!"

"WHOA!" Blitz and Dawn's Piplup shrieked in alarm as they dodged two electrical attacks from the Flame Plate.

"Uh, guys, I think we have a bit of an overload happening around here!" Fishlegs warned worriedly as the heroes watch the Flame Plate starting to suffer from an excessive overload of power.

"What's going on with that fire plank?" Snotlout asked in surprise.

"I know why it's like this; the power Team Galactic used to energize it and use the Plate Beam to open the dimensional gate through Heatran's Magma Storm attacks was so intense, all that energy that's being stored inside it starting to go out of whack!" Sarah shouted in alarm and shock.

"And, even though Arceus closed the dimensional gate, it's not powering down but instead going into an overload," Astrid breathed in horror.

"We gotta do something to disperse all of that power and get the Flame Plate back to Arceus!" Zenna replied.

"How are we gonna do that, Zenna?" Gobber questioned.

"There is a way and that involves my new powers. Angels are known for manipulating the more powerful divine versions of the natural elements; my friends and I know that's possible with the Megaforce Rangers and the Tensou Sentai Goseiger. Maybe I can use my Nephilim Physiology to do the same," Sarah put in, deciding to test out her theory by holding out her hands toward the Flame Plate before they glowed a divine shade of bright red.

"Are you sure that's going to work, Sarah?" Dawn asked as Sarah moved towards the Flame Plate.

"It's worth a shot but while I'm doing so, we have to figure out how to move him out of here before he can get caught in the titan's blast should it explode without warning when we leave."

"On it! Here's...Iron Tail!" Curly shouted in response, darting towards Heatran and cutting him free from his binds.

"My turn! Pyro Ball! He shoots...YAH!" Cinderace cried, using Pyro Ball to wrap Heatran inside the Fire Type attack as the Lava Dome Pokemon felt a sense of comfort and his power starting to return as he let out a relieved and grateful roar to its saviors.

"Nice one, Curly, Ace! Hang on, Heatran, we're getting you out! Electroweb!" Blitz shouted, shooting Electroweb and safely securing Heatran inside it..

Sensing her diving elemental power through her new Nephilim Physiology while Cinderace, Blitz, Curly, Dawn, Piplup, and the others save Heatran and are securing him for their exit as she moved closer to it, the Flame Plate started to resonate and draw itself to the little princess in response to her divine power. Gently taming the Element of Fire from within it, the little princess carefully expelled the energy that went out of control, making its bright light dim out slowly and being extra careful not to charge it up again until it was back to normal and she grabbed it with her hands.

"There we go," Sarah smiled as she turned to the others. "Guys, it's over! I got the plate, how's it coming with Heatran?"

"We did it, Mom!"

"Heatran's fine now!"

"He's safely wrapped up and ready to go!" Blitz, Curly, and Cinderace smiled back as they each gave a peace sign.

"So, Sarah and her Pokemon planned that, too?" smiled Dawn in amazement.

"Yeah, Cinderace's fire can protect Heatran and restore his power while Blitz's Electroweb will shield him as the water conducts it after Curly saved him!" Hiccup nodded as Sarah joined them with the Flame Plate in her hands.

"And, with her new powers, she was able to control the fire energy that was built up in it and gently expel it until it's back to normal!" Zenna agreed happily.

"So, are you an angel, too, lass?" Gobber asked in stunned awe.

"Yeah, but I'll need some help getting this out of here."

"We'll help!"

"All for one!"

"And, one for all!" The Vikings' Pokemon volunteered as they came to Sarah and help her carry the plate.

"Good job, everybody! Now, let's get out of here before this titan blows!" Mesprit smiled as they began to make their way out just as the Flame Plate started sparking a little from what little power from the overcharge it had left with Uxie carrying Heatran.

"We're cutting it close, guys! Let's go!" Sarah called her party.

"Hold on, Heatran!" Uxie cried to Heatran.

The massive energy stored within Heatran Colossal and from the expelled power as the Flame Plate continued to spark (thankfully, not on excessive danger levels) then set off a fiery explosion that ended up rocking the titan from the inside, the blast following the heroes as they made their escape with Blitz, Curly, Cinderace, and Piplup starting to panic when they saw it trailing them and their party as they tried to fly faster. All the while, Rajhu did his best to use his Elemental Manipulation to try and control the blast and the titan without its source or foundation to stabilize it anymore.

"Come on, you guys!"

"Hurry, get out of there! NOW!" Aiyon and Izzy (Green DF Ranger) screamed, filled with worry and starting to panic over Sarah and her party not returning in time.

"Come on, guys..." Devon breathed, he and his team all praying for Sarah, her party, and Heatran's survival.

Sarah heard Piplup, Blitz, Curly, and Cinderace's earlier panicking and she was starting to feel a rush of fear flow through her as she saw the blast catching up and grunted, she and the Vikings' Pokemon doing their best to continue to hold onto the Flame Plate and with Uxie maintaining his grip on Heatran through his Psychic attack as best he could while they went out the way they came. Even the dragons could sense the danger approaching them, their riders, Stoick, Gobber, and the rest of their party as they warbled at the Lake Guardians to pick up the pace with their Psychic attacks.

"Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie, we gotta go faster!" Sarah shouted, allowing the Lake Guardians to sense the danger they and the rest of their party are all in, scrambling out of the titan's deteriorating as fast as they could while it exploded.

As Sarah and her party made their escape with the Flame Plate and Heatran in tow, Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina watched on in silence, preparing to finish the Heatran Colossal off once they were out until the titan suddenly let out a large burst of energy.

Without warning, the energy burst caused Sarah, Dawn, the Lake Guardians, and the others in their party to be blown away, flying and screaming their way out of the Heatran titan until they made it to the water dome. Then, there was trouble; just as everybody in Sarah's party was finally able to escape the disintegrating titan and it looks as though they were home free, Heatran suddenly lost his electric and fiery coating as it dispersed and left him vulnerable to the water they're in as he started to sink.

"Heatran?"

"What's wrong?" Hiccup's Riolu and Deino barked worriedly until they saw Heatran sinking down the dome and away from their group, getting the others' attention as they gasped in shock and horror.

"Oh no, he lost both coats on the way out!"

"They must've broken off after we were forced out of the Heatran titan!"

"Heatran!"

"He can't swim under all this water!" Toothless, Curly, Sarah, and Astrid shrieked in horror.

"Heatran!" the Lake Guardians cried, using Psychic to try and stop him from sinking down further into the dome but their power wasn't enough as he was too heavy for them to carry alone.

Not wanting to leave Heatran to a disastrous fate, the Riolu and Bagon twins, Dratini, Deino, Charmander, Trapinch, Zangoose, and the wild Axew and Seviper took the initiative to grab or wrap themselves around a part of the Lava Dome Pokemon to assist the Lake Guardians in their ongoing escape. Keeping the Flame Plate close to them as best they could, the Vikings, their dragons, Sarah, Cinderace, Blitz, Curly, Dawn, and Piplup also grabbed a part of him (with Hookfang, Meatlug, Barf, and Belch, supporting his underside and Toothless, Stryka, and Stormfly grabbing him by his sides).

"Hold on, Heatran, ugh!"

"Ngh, w-we can make it!"

"We're-ugh-we're almost there! J-just a-ugh-little big longer!" Toothless, Barf, and Belch grunted as they and everybody else gently ushered him forward.

"NOW, PULL! COME ON!" shouted Sarah.

Knowing that they're a short distance away from the opening they went through and with Arceus looking down upon them once he caught sight of Heatran and his Flame Plate, with a shared grunt and battle cry, everybody in the little princess' party gave an all-mighty heave while flying their way out while keeping the Flame Plate within their sights. They were just in time as they could just make out Arceus more clearly and the opening was just only mere feet away from them.

"PUSH!" Sarah roared one last time as they let out one final scream and last great effort and burst out of the water dome with Heatran safely out of harm's way along with the Flame Plate as it dropped on the steps and path on the edge of the Spear Pillar.

"We did it!"

"We're out!"

"Heatran's saved!"

"YIPPEE!"

"HOORAY!" Zenna's Riolu, Deino, Trapinch, Seviper, Axew, and Dratini cheered while Zangoose closed his eyes and turned away, giving off a cool smirk and nod while crossing his arms.

"Oh, man, I'm glad that's over," sighed Cinderace with relief as he wiped off his brow while Curly, Piplup, and Blitz agreed, sharing a high-five and a happy cheer as well just as the others came to them.

"Sarah!"

"Princess!"

"My baby!"

"Sweetheart!" Ash, Tsukumaro, Delilah, and Nikki cried in relief.

"Everyone alright?" Cynthia asked.

"Yeah, I know we're alright. But, Heatran..." Sarah began as she threw a worried look toward the gravely weakened Lava Dome Pokemon.

"Hey, everybody! Look!" gasped Blitz, directing everybody to Arceus as he canceled his water dome force field and The three Legendaries roared back with an agreeing nod as they fired Roar of Time, Spatial Rend, and Will-O-Wisp at the monster, causing it to explode further in the water dome and Arceus let it explode safely out of the sky as the monster screeched loudly one last time as it finally met its end. roared to Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia to attack the Heatran Colossal and destroy it.

"Heatran..." Ash breathed worriedly as the heroes tended to Heatran with Audino and both Mallow and Sarah's Shaymin using Heal Pulse and Aromatherapy to heal whatever wounds he had and replenish his energy.

"Is he okay?" Fluttershy asked, deeply scared for Heatran as she started to whimper while Discord held her gently with a sad frown.

"Yes, Fluttershy, he's okay but his pulse is a little weak," Sarah nodded gravely as she checked the Legendary Fire Type's pulse.

"Poor thing," Hitch sighed forlornly as his animal companions squeaked and chirped miserably for Heatran.

"You've got to hang in there!"

"Wake up, please!" Kiawe and Dawn begged.

"Get up!"

"Please!" Pikachu and Piplup coaxed.

"Those fools from Team Galactic, damn them all! They truly had no respect for the Pokemon and the world they call home... If Heatran doesn't survive this, I'll make sure those buffoons who dared to put such a fascinating creature like him through all that torture suffer the same pain he felt," Doug cursed furiously, forcing Delilah to gently hold his right shoulder and comfort her husband as he started to cry angry yet sorrowful tears.

"If there are any bones broken or anything else... Alright, stand back, everybody!" Sarah ordered, deciding to take another gamble to save Heatran's life as she took out her wand. "

What are you going to do, Sarah?" Sunny asked, concerned.

"Let me try something. It works on minor injuries for humans, maybe it can do the same for him when combined with my Nephilim Physiology... Episkey!"

Drawing on her angelic magic and combining it with the Healing Charm as she pointed her wand at Heatran, the little princess let out a small trail of magic from it that traveled to the Lava Dome Pokemon and he glowed a gentle white light as his wounds began to heal. Everyone waited anxiously as the white glow continued to last until Sarah eventually stopped, seeing he was completely healed as he finally stood up, back at full strength.

"Heatran...?" Sarah breathed, lowering her wand as the Fire Type looked at her and gave her a grateful bow as everybody smiled with great relief.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, you're not too badly hurt, are you?" Zayto and Ash asked, getting a gentle friendly roar as he thanked his saviors for their rescue.

"He's okay!" breathed a relieved Hitch as his animal companions cheered.

"Oh, Heatran! Thank goodness you're back!" Cadence grinned with relief.

Seeing that Heatran was well again and unharmed, Arceus, Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina approached the restored Lava Dome Pokemon as the Original One expressed his relief and happiness to see him alive, "I'm relieved to see you unharmed and looking well again thanks to our friends, Heatran."

Heatran turned to Arceus and his children, giving a thankful roar for their part in helping his saviors find and protect him from the fate that had befallen him as Sarah noticed the Flame Plate resting nearby and cast the Levitation Charm on it to return it to its rightful owner.

"Here you go, Arceus. This is yours; now that Team Galactic is no longer using it to open the dimensional gate and the evil power it once had is no more, it's only fair that it finally goes back to you," she smiled gently as she brought it to the Original One.

"Thank you, Princess," Arceus thanked, accepting the Flame Plate back and returning it with the rest of his Life Plates, his power now whole once more.

"Thanks so much, Arceus, for everything! It was because of you that Heatran was saved and Team Galactic is done for!"

"Yeah, thank you!"

"You also saved Mt. Coronet and Sinnoh! All of you, thank you so much!" Dawn smiled at the Sinnoh Legendaries.

"You're the greatest!" Piplup agreed.

But, Arceus gave a hint of a grateful smile as he said, "But, it wasn't our doing alone; all of you working together with your Pokemon and your new friends have made this victory possible and we'll never thank you children enough."

"You've pitted yourselves against one of the world's greatest enemies in their mad quest to find what they rightfully lost despite the odds that are against you for the sake of ensuring that all Pokemon can live freely and in peace. You've proven to Team Galactic once again that a world without knowledge, emotion, willpower, and most of all, spirit, is not the world we all wish to live in. You've shown them that you're greater than anybody would think you are because of the bonds you shared with each other and your Pokemon, knowing that by working together, you're truly an unstoppable force. To find the joys in life is not possible without experiencing pain and sorrow and compassion is impossible to attain without going through anger and hate, that is a lesson Team Galactic failed to learn the first time and that's the same lesson they failed to learn now. That is what makes our world truly beautiful and a place in our universe worth fighting for..."

The heroes all smiled, knowing that what Arceus is telling them is true, making a mental promise to keep his words of wisdom in their minds and treasure their world for how beautiful it really is beneath the surface and not based on what some people believe it has and doesn't have for them alone.

"Now that our mission is complete and Heatran is no longer under threat, my children can now return to their respective dimensions and watch over all time, space, and anti-matter," Arceus continued before turning to the Lake Guardians. "Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie, I couldn't be more proud of you than I am now..."

"Y-Y-You are?" Uxie asked as he, Azelf, and Mesprit looked at him in surprise.

"You've grown to become a fine team of Legendary Pokemon ever since I made you for the purpose of watching over all of Sinnoh with your brothers and sister in your respective lakes. But, after seeing you working together with the princess, I'm glad to know how much you've truly grown simply by being by her side, always..."

He kept up his hint of a proud smile and a father's pride as he told them, "Therefore, I'll gladly let you continue living with the princess and her family. Words cannot even begin to describe how proud I am of you for becoming a true example of the ultimate bond between humans and Pokemon in my eyes."

"Oh... F-F-Father," cried Uxie, trying to wipe off the tears of joy welling up in his eyes.

"Father... Thank you," wept Mesprit happily.

"...Thank you, Father!" Azelf finished as he also wept with happiness, feeling eternally grateful to his father as well.

Everybody on the heroes' side cheered for the Lake Guardians as they floated towards Sarah and the four of them shared a group hug, leaving Arceus, Dialga, Giratina, and Palkia to nod happily and look on proudly at them, knowing that Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie will be in good hands from this point forward. Satisfied with this and knowing that everything including the Lake Guardians and Heatran will be fine, the Creation Trio separated and returned to their original dimensions while Arceus floated back to the heavens after them to return to his dimension.

"Arceus, wait!" Saturn called from his and his syndicate's prison from below, causing the Original One to look at him and his team in silent vigilance. "We want to know where Master Cyrus went after he left us! And, we know you must know what happened to him!"

"You go to and from the other world at will in your dimension, isn't that true?" Mars concurred, still desperate to know of Cyrus' whereabouts.

"We need to have Master Cyrus back with us so tell us what you have to know about his current location!" Jupiter shouted to him.

But, Arceus ignored the field commanders as he turned back and continued on his way back to his dimension; as far as he was concerned, Cyrus had doomed them and himself with everything he did to his children. He wouldn't give his pawns the satisfaction of revealing his location to them and he doesn't plan to now.

"Urgh... We need Master Cyrus," Saturn grunted in frustration, feeling like he was going to cry out of anger.

"We're never alone; Arceus is always watching over us, hoping that people and Pokemon can work together and overcome any problems that may appear. And, even if our combined strengths aren't strong enough, Arceus is certain to provide hints to guide us to the solution," Cynthia explained, imparting the heroes a moral that they'll never forget as they watched Arceus return to his dimension with the Creation Trio doing the same.

"To guide us," Dawn (trainer) echoed.

"But, those problems... We must deal with them ourselves, we must overcome them no matter what the cost. That's why Arceus and the Creation Trio ultimately left Heatran's rescue and the retrieval of his Flame Plate in our hands."

With those final words from Cynthia and the lesson she imparted attained, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina returned to their own realms and the Reverse World via their powers, and Arceus returned to his dimension via his own dimensional gate knowing that as long as there are people like the heroes that saved Heatran and recovered his Flame Plate while fighting for what's right against crooks like Team Galactic, this beautiful world that they're in will never be destroyed or forgotten.

The sheer silence that followed was eventually cut by the sound of police sirens that Pikachu, Blitz, Curly, and Bella could hear.

"Daddy!" Bella called to Race.

"What is it, girl?" Race quizzed, seeing his Pikachu point to a small fleet of three police helicopters coming to take in Team Galactic once again.

Everybody was delighted to see Officer Jenny appear among the policemen and police women the Sinnoh Police Force dispatched to join her to arrest the escaped syndicate as Ash cried, "It's Officer Jenny!"

"And, the police!" Zayto smiled.

"Cynthia, what about Heatran?" Jenny asked.

"That case is closed, thanks to the bravery of several trainers and Pokemon," Cynthia replied.

Unfortunately for Cynthia, and to the surprise and bewilderment of everyone else who knew nothing about his bad habit, Brock ended up going all casanova on the startled Sinnoh Champion as he tried to propose to her and have her be his girlfriend as he gushed (while holding a rose bouquet out for her), "You called me 'brave', Cynthia! And, to celebrate this closed case, we should go on a da-EEEEE!"

But, Croagunk wasn't having any of it because true to his vow to not let Brock waste the time of any pretty girls he meets, he knocked him out with Poison Jab, making him grovel in pain as he groaned while collapsing on the ground, "I'll take that as a no..."

"Oh, my!"

"Croagunk, darling!" Delilah and her mother balked, both of them taken aback by the Poison Mouth Pokemon's blunt method of stopping his trainer's casanova skits.

Oshawott just grimaced and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as his siblings looked at him warily, all of them getting a case of deja vu with Snivy and Tepig mentally telling him they and their family won't hesitate to do something similar should he fall for a girl that won't take a shine to him should he go casanova again.

"Don't mind him, it happens whenever he's with beautiful girls," Croagunk noted as he passed by.

"Yikes, haven't seen that in a while," Dawn said as she and her Piplup looked blankly at him while Ash and his Alola friends looked on sheepishly.

"Oh, dear. Looks like poor Sir Brock's gone into a Casanova show again," Tsukumaro sweatdropped with a nervous chuckle.

"Ash, is Brock gonna be okay?" Javi asked the Kanto trainer as he and the other Power Rangers grew worried for Brock.

"I wouldn't worry. Croagunk does that all the time so he's fine. But, in his mind, we'll see," Ash shrugged sheepishly.

"Well, I guess it wouldn't if I could go out on a date with Sinnoh's champion," Aiyon smiled, trying to charm his way into Cynthia's good graces until he got a Dizzy Punch to the face by his jealous Spinda.

"AAAHH!" the gold Dino Fury Ranger cried as he fell on the ground and had Torchics fluttering around his head, having swirls for eyes as he was knocked out from his Spinda's attack.

"Hmph! You're nobody man but mine, you know that?" she frowned, getting a laugh out of his team with Zayto playfully shaking his head at his best friend for being a charmer to women.

"Okay, what was that about?!" Amelia asked as she and her friends continued to laugh at Aiyon's expense.

"Dizzy Punch, Aiyon's going to feel that for a while but he'll come through," Sarah chuckled as she, Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie also laughed.

"Oh, well! I've heard of discord amongst the ranks in terms of romance and jealous girls but this is ridiculous," Solon gawked in bewilderment despite giving off some chuckles of her own.

"Hey, look, the sun!" Keldeo called, seeing the sunrise in the distance as everyone smiled, knowing that the world they protected is truly a beautiful one.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a sunrise so beautiful," James admitted with a sentimental smile.

"This first day's even bigger than I thought," Ash admitted.

"For sure," agreed Kiawe.

"Ash?" Dawn chuckled as they and their partners shared a high-five.

"So, what'll we do now?" Ollie asked.

"Well, enough of this doom and gloom stuff for now. What do you say we get back to Calavine City and celebrate our victory against Team Galactic as we enjoy this new day for today?" Steel offered as everybody heard him and they cheered, getting a happy chuckle out of his human brother, Sarah, and Reader.

"YEAH!" the Spinda Girls cheered in agreement.

The first day at the Hisui Festival turned out to be quite an adventure for our heroes but together, they managed to save the natural wonders of the Sinnoh Region. Thriving since ancient times. A land of legends, glory, and challenges, all watched over by the Alpha Pokémon, Arceus
