[Ch10: Legendary Battles; Pt3]

Outside of the shield around the Island, Shadow Hoopa roared, growing even angrier as it had the legendary Pokémon under its thrall attack the shield of wind and water. Only it did not break through.

Shadow Hoopa then led its forces forward, its rings spinning around its body as it had them fly before the six Legendary Pokémon under its power. Making portals appear around the make-shift protection its enemies had made to protect the tower that housed the Prison Bottle. Its refusal to being sealed inside that wretched bottle again fueled the Shadow to keep going as most of its puppets shot their attacks around the Twister and Whirlpool. The assault of the Legendary Pokémon's powerful Moves could be seen from within the shield made from the Twister and Whirlpool.

It had Primal Groudon use Precipice Blade on Lugia, while itself fired a Shadow Ball at Rayquaza. Mega Rayquaza roared attempting to keep the Twister going as much as possible before the Shadow Ball hit it.

Down below, Lugia attempted to swim out of the way of the Precipice Blades only for it miss one and hit the exploding blade of stone and magma.

Both the Twister and Whirlpool faded, making the shield the two legendary Pokémon made disappear. Leaving those inside watching the result, scared.

Ratitrap groaned, "Oh for bootn' up coal…"

Lugia flew up to rejoin those against Shadow Hoopa, as did Mega Rayquaza, and spoke, "Forgive us, we did our best to hold the Twister and Whirlpool."

"It's okay, you did everything you could!" Ash assured the two legendary Pokémon on their side.

Mega Mewtwo Y flew forward, warning, "Look out!"

They turned and saw Giratina shooting out a Focused Blast at them. Lugia quickly took the hit with Safe Guard to help Latios and Latias flew from behind the Pokémon's barrier and both shot out Dragon Pulse, the two attacks hitting Giratina and White Kyurem.

Palkia came forward with a roar and used Spacial Rend again. Mega Mewtwo flew using its speed and used Protect. Even though Protect was a powerful defensive Move, the signature move of Palkia was the stronger and forced the Mewtwo back. Hitting the tower wall from the strength of Palkia's signature move.

The resulting explosion made mega Latios fall from the sky, making Ash and Hoopa fall off of it.

With Hoopa and Ash away, Shadow Hoopa focused on the two, making the legendary Pokémon under its control target them.

Optimus turned and ordered his teammates, "Protect Ash and those Pokémon! Whatever that creature is, it's zeroing in on them!"

Immediately the Maximals went down from the top of the tower, surprisingly getting help down by the legendary Pokémon on Ash's side (well most of them except for Rayquaza), while Optimus flew there using his onboard jets. Shooting, in the non-lethal setting on his weapons, at the opposing Pokémon before he turned to see the Shadow, glaring at him, roar as it shot out the move he recognized as Dark Pulse, "DISAPPEAR!"

Optimus evaded as best he could only for one of the dark rings to hit his starboard thruster and he went down yelling. Some of the Maximals were able to get help down

Latios, Latias, Mewtwo, and Rayquaza attempted to assist the boy with two Dragon Pulses, a Hyper Beam, and an Aura Sphere. Lugia followed up with an Aero Blast. The Maximals used their weapons to help as well. Hitting Primal Groudon even as an Ice beam from Kyurem hit Lugia. Both Lugia and Mega Rayquaza fell to the water.

The resulting explosion made a smoke cloud over the bridge that connected the island to the main city.

Using its speed in its Mega Evolution form, Mewtwo flew in the midst of its opponents and unleashed its signature Move, Psystrike to stop them from causing any more destruction.

This knocked more of the enslaved Pokémon down.

Ash and Hoopa coughed while they heard a groan and saw Optimus struggling to get up. Surprised, Ash called, "Optimus!"

Using his uninjured arm, Optimus stopped the boy, "Never mind about me! You and that Pokémon need to get out of here before they reorganize themselves!"

"But!" Ash tried to protest.

"Go! Now!" Optimus ordered as he turned at the same time to see Shadow Hoopa flying at them. Optimus hurried and used himself as a shield to protect the two in front of them. All three awaited the end, only… it didn't come.

They cautiously looked up to see Shadow Hoopa frozen in place, one of its arms close to squeezing the three of them, while the Legendary Pokémon that are still conscious froze as well confusing the Maximals who saw this.

Shadow Hoopa appeared outraged and fearful at the familiar feeling of being immobilized by a certain relic…

The sun rose from the sky and revealed Baraz standing there with a remade Prison Bottle. The three got out of there to see the young man with the bottle and with Shadow being stopped, its influence over the Legendary Pokémon under its control had faded.

Removing the cork, Baraz pointed the bottle at the large Pokémon madding the energy of it's being be pulled into the bottle.

"Time for this Genie to go back in its lamp!" Rattitrap cheered seeing this on Mega Latias' back. The Pokémon that was with Ash and Hoopa helped the Maximals get to the ground as they watched this confinement.

Once the power and the consciousness of the Shadow were in the bottle, Baraz quickly went to recork it, only for the bottle to flare its power flying from Baraz's hands. Everyone watched as the bottle flew while Serena was scared, "Oh no, don't let it break again…"

Thinking quickly, Ash ran and jumped after the bottle. Caught it and immediately tried to resist the Shadow taking him over shouting, "Enough Shadow! Stop it!"

Hoopa and Pikachu went over concerned as the former asked, "Ashkan?"

With one last yell and flare of power, Ash was taken over by the Shadow. Turning to Hoopa, the possessed boy demanded, "Disappear! Now!"

"Ash no!" Optimus cried out seeing Ash like this.

"It is over! Disappear! AWAY! I am real Hoopa! Hoopa will remain!" The possessed boy shouted glaring angrily at the real Hoopa.

"Shadow needs help! Shadow and Hoopa are same Pokémon. That's what Ashkan said." Hoopa told it, surprising the Maximals. Apparently, they were not given the full story about the Shadow and Hoopa.

Shadow then shouted, "Go Away! We not the same! You weak! I am strong! I am real! You are fake!"

Ratitrap then complained, "Oh boy… Sigmund Froid would have a field day with dis…"

Only to be hit by Cotton-Buns.

Getting an idea of what was going on, Optimus spoke, "Shadow, please understand you two aren't meant to be enemies, you're both part of Hoopa, the same whole."

Optimus then said, "If you need to take a host, then take me. Ash's but a boy with a bright future ahead of him. Don't take that away from him!"

Everyone stared when they heard Optimus willing to let himself be controlled by the Shadow for Ash's sake.

"No! I am TRUE Hoopa! Other disappear! EVERYONE IN HOOPA PATH DISAPPEAR!" Hoopa shouted, not caring about the offer it was given by the Slaking Maximal before it.

Optimus wasn't sure what to do, he wanted to help Ash, but this evil… this anger… was making him run out of options how to do so.

Hoopa got between Optimus and its Shadow as it spoke, "Hoopa will tell our story now! Don't interrupt!"

Energy began to come out of Hoopa and flow towards the possessed Ash as Hoopa spoke, "We were powerful. But we not understand before. But everyone helped Hoopa understand. Everyone waits. For us to be like before. Let Hoopa show Shadow Hoopa's life with everyone."

Shadow then saw an image in its minds, memories of the Real Hoopa while it was confined and living with Ghris. The seeds becoming full grown plants. Life in Arche Valley. The fun times it had with both Baraz and Meray. When it, Meray, and Baraz returning home and are greeted by the very elderly Ghris who came to greet them.

They could see surprise in Ash's face as Hoopa asked, "Come on, are you surprised? Shadow can have fun life, too!"

The Prison Bottle began to light up while the anger began to decrease, while Hoopa said, "Shadow… let Hoopa and you be whole. Hoopa waited for you to come back."

The light grew so powerful until it shot up into the sky and faded. As the light cane sprinkling down like snow. Everyone hurried to Ash. Optimus was the first to speak, "Ash?"

Ash opened his eyes and turned to his friends. Ash smiled as he told Hoopa, "I heard it. Your voice."

"Both of your voices." Ash said looking at Optimus. The Maximal leader stared in surprise by this. Turning his attention back to Hoopa, Ash said, "I also saw everything you showed the Shadow. And I think you were able to reach it."

Meray and Rhynox turned to Baraz who, sensing within the Bottle, smiled and assured them, "The anger within has faded."

That news made everyone happy while Meray conveyed, "Oh Ash, thank you."

Ash laughed seeing this while Pikachu went on the boy's shoulder happy to see it was over.

"Where… am I?" an aged voice asked telepathically, Ash recognized it as Kyurem regained consciousness.

The other Legendary Pokémon that were controlled by the Shadow regained consciousness as well while they stared surprised to not be in their respective domains or homes.

Hoopa laughed to itself while everyone else was stunned to see so many legendary Pokémon before them, especially Clemont. Turning to the mischief Pokémon, Ash asked, "So what did they say?"

Lugia and Mewtwo remained silent as they felt it was best for the smaller, confined, Pokémon to say it.

"They said they were surprised!" Hoopa told him. Mega Latios, Latias, Rayquaza, and Mewtwo all reverted to their original forms as they approached the group of Legendary Pokémon, as did Lugia. The Maximals all transformed into their Poké Modes to avoid suspicion when they heard the people inside the tower coming out to check if the battle was over.

Baraz was not able to believe it and asked, "Could it be… those two, Hoopa and Shadow, summoned all of them?"

Bonnie was jumping excitedly to seeing such a large number of legendary Pokémon. The Maximals stared in surprise at being in the presence of so many Legendary Pokémon now that the battle appeared to be over.

(And there you have it, the Battle of the legendary Pokémon have ended with Shadow reuniting with its lighter half! And now the Some of the Strongest Pokémon in the history of their world are free of the dark influence of Shadow Hoopa. But is this the end or does it lead to something so much worse?

Find out in the next in the next chapter of "Poké Wars: A ring Across Time & Space".

P.S. I would also like to point out that there is a new story online that I've consulted with Blaze Productions on, especially as to help with what I still believe to be Pokemon's "Rival" Digimon and Super Sentai's Counterpart Kamen Rider, "Digi Rider Seiga", and - like Blaze - I've added some templates for any who are interested in making an OC version of the Rider's civilian form and his allies. Please take a look and (if interested) make an OC for the story.)
