The parents of the OCs who live in the island at the southest from Aether Kingdom will be there too, thanks to Keyblade Misanthrope of Darkness and also with Asperger Hero; their roles will be minor there.


CHAPTER 16

Help and Support

Subspace

Now in the Subspace, Master Xehanort was still recovering after receiving one of the powerful attacks from Megidramon the last time in the wastelands from the Aether Kingdom.

"So, how are you recovering?" Tabuu asked.

"Those old bones are recovering slowly, only what they did was delay the inevitable…" Master Xehanort said.

"I see." Xemnas said.

"So, what could be our next task?" Ansem asked.

"Take the other Organization members, go for Kairi who is a Guardian of Light and a Princess of Heart, if she keeps being alive she would be a potential threat for this universe…" Master Xehanort instructed.

"You're right, that's why Xanoreth had to destroy Kiara in the past, she was a Keyblade Wielder and Princess of Heart in the past, that's why she had to be destroyed." Young Xehanort said, learning about Kiara's existence in the past.

Then the True Organization XIII members departed there, going to finish what Xanoreth started.


Sinnoh Region: Grand Underground

Now in the grand underground of the Sinnoh region, the trainer Shamus was there exploring the underground routes.

"Those boys named Takuya and Aidan, who think they are to humiliate me!? Or that boy named Trip and his Serperior! I will make sure no one beats me like that! Therefore I will catch more Pokémon of the fire type here in the Sinnoh region!" Shamus grumpily said to himself.

Before he could search for them, he watched his Pokéballs to scan them and see their abilities from their Pokémon like Emboar with Reckless, Heatmor with White Smoke, Darmanitan with Zen Mode, Chandelure with Flash Fire, Simisear with Gluttony and Centiskorch with Flash Fire too.

"Not bad abilities, now it's time to add more Pokémon." Shamus said with satisfaction.

And as he explored through here, mainly searching in the volcanic caves where he was able to find wild Pokémon like Ninetales with Drought, Rapidash with Flash Fire, Magmortar with Flame Body, Flareon with Guts, Magcargo with Magma Armor, Houndoom with Early Bird, Camerupt with Anger Point and Torkoal with Shell Armor.

"Those ones are perfect." Shamus said with an evil smirk.


Route 208

The group is now outside after seeing the battles in the tournament.

"Assana, by any chance do you have more family members?" Kibou asked her.

"Yes, I have an uncle named Barto who used to work in the navy then become a marine fisherman, an aunt named Cordelia who is a diver, and two twin cousins named Alon and Coral around the same age as you." Assana replied.

"Now, by any chance in your homeworld is there a bigger company of candies and chocolates?" Buster asked before explaining to the Zodiacs and Elementals. "The one that we know is named Wonka, best candies and chocolates in that world where me, Plucky and Dizzy met Willy Wonka while beating Arthur Slugworth alongside Gerald Prodnose and Felix Fickelgruber."

"They were so despicable, they loved to get rid of the competition, even Slugworth got rid of her own niece to keep the fortune for himself and make the world greedy and abuse poverty!" Plucky bitterly said.

"Dizzy and friends luckily found and discovered the plans to the police and the world was released from those greedy men." Dizzy said.

"Those events are from "Wonka" movie, from Warner Bros just like us and the Tiny Toons." Yakko explained.

"But they didn't adapt the sequel of that novel." Aries replied which made Tiny Toons and Warner siblings shocked because they didn't know that movie is an adaptation plus it has a sequel.

"Wait, wait, wait. Did you say Wonka? That's one of the biggest confectionery companies in our homeworld." Terran said, realizing when Tiny Toons mentioned Wonka

"I love that company's chocolate!" Blake said.

"My cousin Alon usually buys some Wonka candies every month." Assana said

"Seeing Kirby teamed up with Flurry barely gave me a heart attack." Luke told the group.

"Why?" Scorpio asked Luke with other Zodiac Warriors confused about the comment from Digidestined of Bravery

"I think it is because the heart attacks from cuteness overload." Yakko said.

"So, don't you think that Bluebutt could become a villain? Just like the one from your universe, because he could possibly hate Spike, he even showed envy that he didn't appear in the marbled halls but he will never appear because he never did heroic acts and never regret his attitude towards Rarity in the gala." Seth told the Zodiacs and Elementals.

"Possibly, yes, but hardly…" Aries said.

"Hey sis, maybe we could catch some new Pokémon around here." Phoenix A said and Enya nodded.

"Have you tried to have a Flareon in your team?" Max (Pokémon) asked Enya. "Apart from using moves like Alluring Voice and Hyper Voice, the Copycat move will allow Flareon to use Skeledirge's Torch Song too."

"Hmmm that's not a bad choice." Enya replied.

"Now I'm wondering, what kind of Pokémon could I catch too?" Phoenix A wondered.

"Try to catch a Magmar, that Pokémon can use fighting type moves." Max (Pokémon) suggested.

"Okay." Phoenix A said.

"Let's see, Aidan got three new Pokémon, seeing Camerupt using Earth Power, that move attacks with magma like me, I'll see what other fire type Pokémon could use Earth Power too." Corona said before seeing his Multiversal Phone.

"I'll see if there are other faster Pokémon like Cinderace." Aiden said before seeing his Multiversal Phone.

"I wonder what Pokémon could be suitable to be with my Charizard." Cyrus A said as he also went to research.

With Corona, he was able to find Coalossal while even finding a Gigantamax form for that Pokémon and Torkoal with Dough ability and both Pokémon can use Earth Power, Aiden found Heat Rotom being known by using Overheat and with Levitate ability that will save it from super effective moves and with moves like Thunder Wave along with Electro Ball and Hex will make a great combination and with a Paldean Tauros Fire Breed knowing to use Flame Charge for extra speed, with Cyrus A he was able to find Chandelure and the Alolan Marowak who have different flame color from his Charizard, with Phoenix A he found information about Magmar and even about Darmanitan with Sheer Force ability while Enya found information about Flareon and also Pyroar who is able to use sound moves like Noble Roar, Echoed Voice, Roar and Hyper Voice.

"Well, sis, let's see for others ice type Pokémon." Winter said.

"Okay, that's a great idea." Krisi said in agreement with her big brother.

The two ice siblings went to research for Pokémon of ice type, with Winter he was able to find Weavile and Glalie who can Mega Evolve while Krisi found Froslass and Frosmoth knowing that it can use Quiver Dance.

"Let's see, I'm sure there could be suitable Pokémon for Alon and Coral." Assana said as she went to research in the Multiverse Phone too.

The Water Elemental found a blue oarfish-like Pokémon called Huntail, pink mix of snipe eel and siren called Gorebyss, Totodile, Piplup, Clawitzer and Corsola with their evolution lines included.

"I see. Totodile, Huntail and Clawitzer for Alon while Piplup, Gorebyss and Corsola for Coral." Assana said.

"Now speaking of you three, I know the meaning of your names." Kanae said.

"Really?" Sora asked.

"Sora means sky, Riku means land and Kairi means ocean." Kanae replied.

"Due to the meaning of your names, you're destined to stay together." Shinobu added before seeing Sora and Kairi. "Especially you two."

"Hmm…" Sora and Kairi stammered before turning away from each other while blushing.

"Ocean and sky together, that would make sense." Gemini said as the other Zodiac Warriors nodded in agreement.

"How sad that destiny has different plans for them." Vanitas' voice said.

Everyone took their fighting stances being aware of the enemy presence as they turned to see Luxord, Larxene, Marluxia, Xigbar, Dark Riku, Vanitas, Saïx, Vexen, Demyx, Ansem, Xemnas and Young Xehanort, but then Lea managed to hide knowing that they would recognize Lea or Axel as the Organization's traitor and also don't want to attack his friend Isa.

"You again!" Sora said.

"Where's Master Xehanort?" Riku asked.

"It's the boy's fault with his red lizard that the old geezer is resting from his injuries." Larxene said, blaming Takato and Guilmon for injuring Xehanort the last time.

"His fault!?" Cancer angrily asked the Savage Nymph.

"All you've done is delay the inevitable." Ansem added, referring to the last encounter against Xehanort in the wastelands.

"It doesn't matter how you protect your princess, her fate is already sealed." Saïx said, referring to Kairi.

"It's true, no matter your efforts, she is fated to die, those who try to abuse the power to chase hearts around will end up dooming themselves, however such power was taken away." Young Xehanort said, referring to Sora's unobtained Power of Waking.

"This is not Kairi's fate." Virgo said.

"They are right, you or even Xanoreth won't be separate from Sora, my name means ocean while Sora's name means sky!" Kairi told him.

"This is where you're wrong, princess." Young Xehanort said before explaining to her. "Your name means separation, meaning that you're doomed of being separated from Sora, and as you can see, the Realm of Light has always meant to have now eight Princesses of Heart, just two of them are never meant to be Keyblades Wielders."

"Huh!?" Kari couldn't help but gasp.

"Your light was able to face powerful villains which included DanDevimon." Young Xehanort kept explaining. "However, everything Kairi has done was only delaying time for her inevitable death and also by being a Princess of Heart and a Keyblade Wielder, she threatens to throw off the balance of reality."

Said words stunned everyone, even the Aether Team, Zodiac Warriors and Elemental 10 felt tensed but determined to protect Kairi from said inevitable prophetic death as Young Xehanort turned to see Kairi.

"You heard me, you can be one or another, and if you take a path, you're only going to be just one of them, not both." Young Xehanort told her.

"You don't get to tell me what I am and am not!" Kairi shouted as she summoned her Keyblade.

"Her fate is not like that." Aries said.

"She needs to live on her own." Cancer said.

"The destiny of the one who hides that witch named Namine, I don't think so." Larxene said.

Kibou with shiny Pichu and Luxmon were angry as they tried to fight against one of the Organization XIII members until Assana and Shinobu stop them specially Kibou who doesn't has enough experience yet, unless to fight and Organization XIII member:

"Stop there, Kibou." Shinobu told him, with concern but seriously.

"You are not strong enough to fight one of them." Assana said

Kibou couldn't help but nod, knowing that they were right.

"But in that case I'll fight against you because I won't let you talk Namine like that, you mad witch!" Assana told Larxene who felt provoked as she then recomposed herself.

"You against me? Please, your water element will be very vulnerable against my electricity." Larxene told to Assana.

"Well, water could beat electricity if you know the right way." Assana said

"And also I don't think I have forgotten you!" Cancer angrily said as she glared at Larxene.

"And even me!" Lotus added firmly.

"You should mind your business, little girl, if you know what is good for you." Larxene told Lotus.

"Don't you dare to hurt my sister!" Lotus said.

"I don't know what you're planning to do here, but I won't let you take away the happiness from Kairi and Sora!" Shinobu said as she briefly flashbacked when her and Kanae's parents were killed by a demon.

"Shinobu, I won't let you fight alone against her!" Kanae firmly to her little sister while meaning that she will face Larxene too.

"Sisters, I wanna help you two." Kanao said, causing Kanae and Shinobu to smile warmly at their little sister.

"Well, me and Ghostmon will fight against you." Nadia said as she and Ghostmon were ready.

"Okay, maybe you could need Bulucumon and my help too." Nerri said as she and Bulucomon got ready.

"Well, very well, choose your opponents." Xemnas said.

"I would enjoy defeating you!" Sanemi said, willing to face Xemnas.

"Wait, I'll assist you!" Skye said.

"Why are you assisting me, child?" Sanemi asked as he kept serious.

"You are not strong enough to fight Xemnas, so I'll help you in this battle." Skye replied.

"You'll see what I'm made of, Xehanort's nobody." Aries said as he took his sheep fighting pose ready to face Xemnas.

"And also I'll show that my art is applied for battle too!" Pisces said.

"Even our light too." Neil said as his Luxmon nodded in agreement.

"Look at you, you have a heart but you have no emotions, you have the potential to join us." Saïx told Tomioka until Alban, Winter, Krisi, Capricorn, Chikara, Nanairo, Navie, Sangomon Terran and Tetsu interfered.

"We cannot let you away with it!" Winter said.

"He will never join you!" Krisi said.

"If you mess with him, you will have to face us!" Alban coldly told Saïx who just stood there expressionless since a Nobody cannot feel true emotions.

"Tell me, why are you assisting someone who doesn't have feelings?" Saïx asked Alban and referred to Tomioka.

"It's because he just has low esteem after his loved ones are gone!" Assana firmly replied.

"And also just because he cannot express many feelings, that doesn't mean he doesn't have them!" Alban firmly added.

"Huh…?" Giyu gasped quietly but quickly recomposed himself before pulling out his katana and preparing himself.

"Better prepare yourself, Giyu." Capricorn said.

"And we will fight too!" Chikara and Nanairo added.

"You'll see our weapons!" Terran and Tetsu said simultaneously.

"And our powers!" Navie said as his Sangomon nodded in agreement.

"Axel is not here, therefore I would challenge you." Vexen said as he readied his shield while facing Kyojuro.

"Very well, I'll set my heart ablaze for this battle." Kyojuro said as he readied himself.

"Let us help you." Aidan said with his siblings and cousins behind.

"I appreciate your help." Rengoku replied.

"This is the first time I'll use this power." Cyrus said, releasing some blue flame.

"Don't forget us!" Novah and her reddish Coronamon said.

"We'll enter it!" Nicky and her orange Armadillomon said.

"My gauntlets will break the ice and even go through the defense of Vexen." Taurus said.

"My holy fire will melt the ice too." Uriel said as he unleashed his wings.

"I haven't fought a human before, however it is my duty to protect people." Gyomei said as he was preparing his spiked flail and axe.

"Let the game begin." Luxord said as he prepared his cards.

"Well, now you will face me." Aquarius said.

"And us too!" Jupiter and Keith said at the same time.

"Don't forget me." Nixon said as his Floramon nodded.

"We will win this game just like in the first round of the tournament." Nolan said as his yellow Pulsemon nodded in agreement.

"Let's do this!" Shobu said as Yugi became Yami.

"I'll face the zodiac warrior with the scythe along with the girl of pink hair." Marluxia said.

"Let's see who rules with the scythe, yo." Scorpio said as he twirled his scythe.

'Why do I have to face that handsome boy with the pink hair!? He looks too handsome to be one of the bad guys!' Mitsuri said in her thoughts while being stressed.

"If you choose her to fight, you'll fight against me too!" Obanai told Marluxia.

"Me and Gotsumon got this!" Natalie said as her crystal Gotsumon nodded.

"I choose the one with the bow, my sharpshooters have the advantage." Xigbar said.

"We'll see about that, Xigbar." Sagittarius said.

"Well, more together, more merrier." Barrow said, willing to face Xigbar.

"Nice patch, but now you'll face the god of flashiness." Tengen said as he prepared his dual cleavers.

"You'll see me and Vemmon in action!" Nikki said as his Vemmon nodded in agreement.

"I'll fight against the quieter one, younger means easier to beat." Vanitas said as he pointed his Keyblade at Muichiro.

"I guess Muichirou can handle it. If he gets the edge I'll back him up." Aaron thought.

"Now how about darkness vs darkness while kicking your butt too." Noah S said as his black Impmon nodded in agreement.

"Maybe a battle against Vanitas could cheer me up." Nathan S said as Chikurimon nodded in agreement.

"Now prepare to face the great Inosuke Hashibira!" Inosuke said as he pointed his two sawed-katanas at Vanitas.

"Just beware in this battle." Muichiro said.

"Wait, I'll help you too." Makomo said as he joined Muichiro.

"Anata mo watashi no tasuke ga hitsuyo ni narudeshou." Gemini spoke in Japanese which made Muichiro and Makomo have dotted eyes in confusion. "I mean, you're gonna need my help in this battle."

Then Makomo nodded with a soft and innocent smile.

"Why do you ally yourself with that impostor?" Dark Riku asked Blake Pierce who is on the side of the real Riku.

"Well, I'm just gonna, but you're a faker." Blake replied with a moody tone.

"Better get ready, Litten." Riku told his shiny Litten who nodded.

"I fought against demons before and therefore I could fight against impostors too!" Sabito said, willing to fight against Dark Riku.

"I'll choose the wielder of the Sun Breathing." Ansem said.

"I already saw you in Musutafu city, and Sora told me much about you!" Tanjiro said as he prepared his katana.

"A black katana will mean bad luck for you, even when you don't wield that sword, you will be doomed to lose your loved ones again." Ansem told Tanjiro.

"You're wrong about that! And therefore I'll fight against you!" Leo said.

"Now you'll face a Cornerian fighter." Matt Sterling said as he pulled out his lightsaber.

"I waited patiently to face you." Normal said as his cobalt Veemon nodded in agreement.

"At this rate if you keep protecting her from the inevitable, you'll threaten the balance of reality in this universe." Young Xehanort told the leo warrior, still believes that Kairi cannot be a Keyblade Wielder and a Princess of Heart at the same time.

"If Kairi is important for the balance of the universe. We will recreate it." Leo explained.

"Very well, then I'll choose to fight against the Princess of Heart who isn't supposed to exist." Young Xehanort said as he summoned his Keyblade ready to face Kairi who gripped tightly the guard of her Keyblade.

"Calm down, Kairi, me and Libra will assist you." Virgo told Kairi.

"We got your back, darling." Libra added with a kind smile to the red-haired girl.

"And don't forget me!" Sora told her.

Sora's Oshawott and the pink Snivy also nodded reassuringly to Kairi.

"And we'll even join the battle against Young Xehanort." Caleb said.

"You're the one who defines your fate." Aria said.

"And we will add a bit more magic for this battle." Naomi said as her Cutemon nodded in agreement.

"Thank you." Kairi said, feeling calmed.

"Well, I guess I could sit down." Demyx said.

"Oh no you won't, why don't you be a wimp like you fight against the other wimp who looks like you?" Larxene asked Demyx, telling him to fight against Zenitsu.

"But you're a person, I won't fight you!" Zenitsu exclaimed.

"Yeah and even I have a heart." Demyx said.

"The same old trick again, but cannot fool us." Sora said, rolling his eyes.

"Silence, traitor!" Demyx told Sora.

"Now what about us?" Scout asked.

"Well, we cannot sit and watch there, technically we could win against them." Ryoga said.

"You seem to have forgotten that we have troops." Vanitas said.

"Oh, really? You and what army?" Mr. Krabs asked.

*BATTLEFIELD (SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL)*

Then just as the money-loving crab asked, the troops started to appear, Heartless like Neoshadow, Vermilion Samba, Marine Rumba, Gold Beat, Lance Warrior, Armored Knight, Aerial Viking, Surveillance Robot, Nobodies like Dusk, Creeper, Sorcerer, Sniper, Berserker, Dancer, Gambler, Reaper, Ninja and Samurai (now controlled by Vexen), Unversed like Flood, Scrapper, Wild Bruiser, Archraven, Jellyshade, Flowersnake, Spiked Turtletoad, Turtletoad, normal Primids, Scoop Primids, Sword Primids, Boom Primids, Metal Primids, Fire Primids, Ice Primids, Hydro Primids, Electric Primids, Flyer Primids, Rock Primids, Sand Primids, Acid Primids, Vine Primids, Golden Primids, Diamond Primids, Psy-Primids, Light Primids, Dark Primids, Fighter Primids, Phanto Primids, Ninja Primids, Gunner Primids, Dagger Primids, Claw Primids, Archer Primids, Bomber Primids, Medic Primids, Drill Primids, Hammer Primids, Sword and Shield Primids, Ball and Chain or Flail Primids, Laser Primids, Parasol Primids, Spear Primids, Staff Primids, Reaper Primids, Whip Primids and Yo-Yo Primids.

"Until you have to talk." Sandy Cheeks told while glaring at Mr. Krabs.

"Well, we have to fight." SpongeBob said.

"This will be just like fighting against the Syndicate led by Vlad Plasmius." Patrick Star said.

Then everyone got their weapons ready.

"Kirby, you and your siblings know what to do." Tiff told him.

"Poyo!" Kirby nodded.

Kirby then absorbed Leaf's Clefable, Yellow Kirby absorbed Brendan's Raichu, Blue Kirby absorbed, Red Kirby absorbed Ash's Charizard, Green Kirby absorbed May's Venusaur, Purple Kirby absorbed Calem's Gengar, Brown Kirby absorbed Brock's Golem, White Kirby absorbed Mewtwo and Orange Kirby absorbed Barry's Hitmonlee, then after absorbing them the nine Pokémon emerged as stars before returning to their regular forms, the nine Kirbys jumped in the air, the pink one was covered by pink moonlight before appearing with the ears, spiral lock in the forehead and fairy-like wings from Clefable, yellow one was covered by a yellow discharge before appearing with a hat and tail of Raichu, blue one was covered by water before appearing Blastoise's helmet with the two blasters included, green was covered by leaves and poison goops before appearing with a small teal cap with Venusaur's flower included, purple one was covered by a ghostly wind and poisonous wind before appearing with a Gengar's suit, brown one was covered by a big boulder before cracking itself and revealing him with Golem's stony armor, white one was surrounded by a psychic energy before appearing with a teleport now having the ears and tail of Mewtwo and orange one a mask based on Hitmonlee's face appeared before being grabbed and wearing it.

"The nine Kirby copied every Pokémon they absorbed." Meta Knight said.

"It doesn't matter the forms of the numbers, the result will be the same." Saïx said.

"Now Snoozer." Boss told Snoozer who used Yawn and put Zenitsu to sleep, however he started to sleepwalk.

Then they engage the Organization members along with their troops, Larxene dashed while using her knives unleashing electricity towards Assana, Cancer, Lotus with Slurpuff, Shinobu, Kanae, Kanao, Nadia, Ghostmon, Nerri and Bulucomon but they managed to dodge the attacks.

"Swampert, I need you!" Assana said before calling her Swampert. "Use Power-Up Punch and follow with High Horsepower!"

Just as Larxene was going to slash Assana, Swampert interfered while using Power-Up Punch and followed by using High Horsepower, followed by Assana using Aqua Whip, Cancer performing vertical spinning slashes with her claws, Lotus firing a banana gun while her Slurpuff used Energy Ball with both attacks hitting the savage nymph who then retaliated by launching lightning but they barely dodged their attacks until Cancer was pushing her claws against Larxene's knives with both girls pushing at each other, Larxene has a sadistic smirk while Cancer was snarling and baring her teeth.

"Is that all you got, you pinky?" Larxene said.

"You wish!" Cancer said before headbutting Larxene's face.

"You're going to wish you never headbutted me like that!" Larxene replied with a growl, as she felt a drop of blood coming out from her mouth.

Then the savage nymph created two clones of herself before fighting against Cancer as a small payback for the headbutt in her face before Larxene went to face Shinobu with the two of them dashing quickly, Larxene dashed with her usual speed while the Insect Pillar performed Dance of the Centipede: Hundred-Legged Zigzag until she was able to hit Larxene by using Sixfold Thrust.

"So small in comparison with your pillar friends, not even being able to decapitate demons or even Nobodies and keeping a fake smile." Larxene said, taunting Shinobu who was looking tense as she is fighting against Larxene, clearly Shinobu has cross vein marks in her forehead.

"That could be true, but I can poison my enemies and even Seth helped to open my heart!" Shinobu firmly said in retaliation.

Now back in the battle, Larxene went from behind as she tried to slash Shinobu but only to clash with Kanae's katana.

"What!?" Larxene exclaimed.

"No one messes with my sister!" Kanae said with firmness in her voice.

Before Larxene could attack, Kanao performed Sixth Form: Whirling Peach which hit Larxene, followed by Kanae performing Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagomoro, Nadia using Shadow Punch while Ghostmon used Little Plasma and Nerri using Ice Punch while Bulucomon use Ice Smash with each of their attacks hitting the savage nymph.

'I never saw those girls before…!' Larxene said in her thoughts while glaring at Nerri and Nadia.

She dashed but only to clash against Kanao's katana who dodged Larxene's knives before kicking her away.

"Very persistent, aren't you?" Larxene asked, trying to provoke Kanao.

"People in this world are born with emotions, but you've never felt emotions. You're nothing but an empty shell. It's quite comical, it's so stupid. Why did you ever exist?" Kanao asked Larxene.

"Oh, you will pay for this, you putrid child…!" Larxene growled, never feeling that angry despite being a Nobody.

Sanemi, Skye, Aries, Pisces, Neil and his white Luxmon are facing Xemnas who unleashed two ethereal blades from both hands as he tried to slash them but they dodged, then Neil used Aura Sphere while Luxmon used Tiny Knuckle but Xemnas held the attack with his two blades but then Sanemi performed Eighth Form: Primary Gale Slash which hit Xemnas, followed by Skye performing Dual Wingbeat with her fans hitting the former Organization XIII's leader and followed by soaring and performing an aerial bicycle kick against him who then retaliated by firing red lasers but the white Luxmon used Cloud Barrier to block the attack while allowing Neil to use Hand of Fate against him, Pisces swinging and thrusting his magic brush like a sword hitting Xemnas several times, Aries fired from his two guns trying to hit Xemnas who quickly summoned his barrier to block but then Aries was behind him to perform Rekkageki/Blazing Hit which he used fire energy to rapidly punch Xemnas before using a smashing blow with his right fist and followed by performing Jiraishin/Landmine Shock which he used earth energy to deliver a crushing kick upside the head at blinding speed.

"I thought only you use guns to fight." Xemnas said after seeing Aries using two ken'nou-ryu skills.

"Well, I also use martial arts and musical attacks to vary my fighting style." Aries replied.

Saïx swung his claymore trying to hit Tomioka, Alban, Winter, Krisi, Capricorn, Chikara, Nanairo, Navie, Sangomon, Terran and Tetsu but they dodged their attacks, then Chikara and Nanairo called their Meowstic before attacking with Psyshock with both attacks hitting Saïx and followed by Navie and Sangomon using Tsunami and Coral Pressure respectively and hitting the Luna Divider who retaliated by swinging his claymore to send blue firewalls but Winter summoned his own ice wall to block the blue fire which was unable to melt Winter's unbreakable ice, then Krisi used Ice Spinner and followed by using Triple Axel which was performed as bicycle kick hitting Saïx three times, Alban jumping and aerial thrusting his ice spear, Tomioka performing Water Surface Slash, Capricorn performing a Meteor Kick, Terran performing a spin attack with his battle axe and Tetsu spinning his double-edged sword like a propeller to hit the Luna Divider several times and Winter creating a claymore of ice similar to the one of Saïx to bash him several times and removing his berserk state.

"If you were a Nobody, surely you would see it clearly." Saïx told Tomioka who stood there quiet while facing the Luna Divider.

Aidan with Aiden, Corona, Cyrus, Phoenix, Enya, Taurus, Uriel, Novah with her reddish Coronamon, Nicky with his orange Armadillomon, Rengoku and Gyomei are facing Vexen who blew a strong blizzard but the fire of the Adler children prevented from getting frozen along with their teammates too, and then Rengoku and Aidan took the chance to perform Unknowing Fire and Rising Scorching Sun with their attacks hitting Vexen who retaliated by launching spinning snowflakes but Corona summoned three magmatic stone pillars before dropping them to hit Vexen, followed by Aiden performing boost spark attacks while launching flying kicks to hit Vexen several times, Cyrus A tossing blue fireballs, Phoenix A grabbing Vexen from behind to perform a German Suplex against him, Enya using Flame Wheel by performing a cartwheel to hit the ice-shield member, Novah used Pyro Darts while her reddish Coronamon used Holy Shoot, Nicky using Rock Blast while his orange Armadillomon followed by using Diamond Shell and Corona jumped before kicking magma boulders like football.

"Did I meet you before? Your voice sounds quite familiar." Vexen told Corona.

"You're mistaking me with someone else." Corona replied.

Then Nicky used Rock Throw while Novah used Fire Spin but Vexen used his shield to block the attacks until Taurus used his gloves to punch Vexen's shield while going through his defense too and hitting the Organization member too, followed by Uriel tossing holy flames and Gyomei performing Serpentinite Bipolar which strongly hits Vexen.

"But how…!?" Vexen asked.

"My boxing gloves can break through defense easily!" Taurus replied.

Luxord spins and tosses cards at Yami, Shobu Aquarius, Jupiter L, Keith M, Nixon with Floramon and Nolan with his yellow Pulsemon but they dodged, then Aquarius used twin light-daggers to hit the gambler several times, followed by Jupiter L using Thunder Kick, Keith M using Power Whip which he created a whip-shaped green energy to lash Luxord who then turned himself into a card and others two cards appeared, however Aquarius found the card where Luxord was hiding before firing a laser from his device in the right wrist hitting the gambler who came back to his regular form and then Aquarius performed a thrusting knee attack and followed with a kick, followed by Nolan using Electro Web while his yellow Pulsemon uses Minor Impulse and both Nixon and his Floramon using Poison Ivy to lash the gambler, Yami called Silver Fang who attacked with the front claws and Shobu called a tank-like robot named Rothus the Traveler who fired missiles.

"What kind of children are you?" Luxord asked two of Normal's siblings.

"We're Sphere Warriors!" Nolan said as Nixon nodded in agreement.

"With the Duel Master!" Shobu said.

"And the Pharaoh!" Yami said.

Marluxia was teleporting while swinging his scythe but Scorpio along with Mitsuri, Obanai, Natalie and crystal Gotsumon managed to dodge their attacks before Scorpio tossed his scythe like a boomerang which hit the Graceful Assassin before dashing to grab his scythe and performed a forward smash slash hitting Marluxia.

"I don't care if you are handsome! Just like my Hashira title, I will defend the love of Sora and Kairi!" Mitsuri said before jumping and performed Love Pangs which hit Marluxia who then teleported behind Mitsuri trying to slash her.

"Oh no you won't!" Obanai said before performing his technique. "Serpent Breathing, First Form: Winding Serpent Slash!"

He said as he released a singular frontal horizontal slash aimed at the Graceful Assassin in a winding motion while unleashing a white snake which slashed Marluxia, followed by Natalie using Sacred Sword and her crystal Gotsumon using Hardest Punch against Marluxia.

"I will show who rules with the scythe while sending you to oblivion!" Marluxia said.

"Not gonna happen, yo!" Scorpio said.

"I'll teach you to respect your superiors!" Vanitas told the Mist Pillar.

'Impressive, only Kirby copying Charizard and Mewtwo is seen in Super Smash Bros games.' Aries said in his thoughts.

Just when Young Xehanort prepared to stop the time, the shiny Charmander from before appeared by using Dragon Rush and hit Young Xehanort.

"A shiny Charmander!?" Caleb said in surprise.

"Don't interfere…!" Young Xehanort said as he prepared to attack.

But suddenly, black and crimson chains were unleashed to tie the Organization XIII members before being hit by fireballs, followed by ethereal katanas and flaming feathers were sent while hitting the Organization XIII members again and a storm of stars and a barrage of magic rays were sent and hitting them again, then they turned to see Draco, Orobu, Astra, Stella, Jin and Ignis.

"New Keyblade Wielders!" Jupiter L said, seeing their Keyblades.

"Draco, Orobu, Astra, Stella, Jin and Ignis." Caleb said, recognizing them.

"Long time no see, Caleb." Jin told him.

"Impossible!" Ansem exclaimed in shock.

"The old coot didn't tell us that they were more Keyblade Wielders!" Xigbar said.

"Then the old geezer has a lot to explain to us!" Larxene added.

"Me and Ila will be the ones to finish this!" Rei said before rising his Digivice and Ila nodded before doing the same.

The two devices glowed and then Herissmon along with Hackmon started to Digivolve.

Herissmon Digivolve to… Filmon!

Herissmon became a bigger and adult version of himself.

Hackmon Digivolve to… BaoHuckmon!

Haomon became a bigger and adult version of himself too.

"Two new Digimon!" Tai said at his sight and then Izzy used his phone to scan them.

"Filmon, the beast Digimon in the champion level from data attribute, with many large spikes sprouting out of its body, he has sharp red claws that can slice anything, and yellow quills that inject energy into whatever he pierces, his attacks are Lightning Stinger and Crimson Slash. BaoHuckmon, the dinosaur Digimon in the champion level from data attribute, intensifies his sense of combat incomparably and achieves growth mentally, technically, and physically, being a combat expert that aims for the top, continuing his training, accumulating combat experience cultivated through battle with formidable opponents, and digivolving as he battles, with his attacks being Fif Cross, Teen Blade, Blazing Flame and Dragless Spiker." Izzy said as he read the info.

"Who are those two children?" Astra asked.

"They are Rei and Ila, my cousins." Caleb answered.

Tyson K was swinging his ice-steel mace hitting many enemies while Cheryl used Air Cutter with her wind bracelet, Nyaromon and Wanyamon used bubbles before Digivolving.

Wanyamon Digivolve to… Kotemon!

Wanyamon became a purplish blue lizard with kendo armor with a bamboo sword included.

Nyaromon Digivolve to… Tinkermon!

Nyaromon became into a fairy-like Digimon, with green top, dark green shorts, brown gloves, brown shoes and yellow wings, she is around Tinker Bell's size.

"New Digimon…!" Ash said as he used his phone to scan both Digimon. "Tinkermon, the fairy Digimon in the rookie level from virus attribute, a close friend to Petermon, her attacks are Speed Nightmare, Nightmare Pandemic, Fairy Powder and Pit Bomb like Piximon. Kotemon, the fairy Digimon in the rookie level from data attribute, is a Digimon who practices kendo and doesn't reveal his face, his attacks are Hothead, Thunder Kote, Lightning Arrow and Thunder Gauntlet."

"It's time to test my new form! Thunder Kote!" Kotemon said as he performed an electrifying punch against Demyx.

"Pit Bomb!" Tinkermon said as she used the same attack as Piximon, but less powerful, which hit Larxene.

"Lightning Stinger!" Filmon said as he fired crimson lightning to destroy the last enemy troops. "Crimson Slash!"

He then whirled in continuous slashing attacks with both claws to hit the Organization XIII members.

"Fif Cross!" BaoHuckmon slashed the Organization XIII members with his claws. "Blazing Flame!"

BaoHuckmon fired a huge and fast fireball which hit the Organization XIII members while finishing off the battle.

*ENDS*

The Organization XIII members backed up while the heroes are still facing the villains.

"Fine then, keep denying your fate and avoiding your inevitable death, someone at the end will pay the ultimate sacrifice." Young Xehanort spoke directly at Kairi, before he and the other Organization XIII disappeared in the corridor.

However, Caleb turned to the Zodiacs and Elementals while Filmon reverted back to Herissmon and BaoHuckmon to Hackmon.

"Do you know another villain who haunted certain bloodlines through generations?" Caleb asked the Zodiac Warriors and Elemental 10. "It's because about Xanoreth's legacy affected the bloodlines of Kairi and Sora through generations, in an endless torture through separation and apparently Xanoreth wants to separate Sora from Kairi to cause suffering for pleasure."

"Unfortunately no because it's rare for villains to curse a bloodline." Aries replied before explaining. "Well, only one case, Red Rackham, before sinking into the depths of the ocean to his death, he curses Sir Francis and his family out of spite, leading the Haddocks to go through a dark age for the next generations, resulting in Sir Francis having just one known living descendant in the present, despite Sir Francis having 3 sons."

"Oh my…" Leyla said with dread, after hearing that part of cursing of a villain from the past.

"Could my princess of heart's power be a curse? That could explain why I was separated from Sora and maybe in the future the same thing could be destined to happen again." Kairi said, doubting her own power.

"Kairi." Virgo said as she held both Kairi's wrists with her own hands. "Your power isn't a curse, that power helped you to restore Sora when he was a Heartless, but we won't let anything bad happen to you."

"Thank you, Virgo." Kairi said, feeling better.

"Rei, you and Herissmon were incredible." Skye said before kissing him in the cheek.

"Thank you, Skye." Rei replied with a small blush.

"See, now you have your time to shine." Shinobu told reassuringly to Ila.

"Thank you, Shinobu." Ila replied with a happy nod.

"Char." Shiny Charmander said, close to Caleb.

"Well, welcome aboard, little guy." Caleb told the wild shiny Charmander.

"So, what are your names?" Misty asked the three new Keyblade Wielders with their magical animals.

"Name's Draco and he is Orobu." Draco introduced himself and Orobu who gave a soft grunt.

"I'm Astra and she is Stella." Astra introduced herself and Stella who neighed happily.

"My name is Jin and she is Ignis." Jin introduced himself and Ignis gave a soft screech.

After hearing the introductions.

"It's nice to meet you guys. My name is Aries and they are Taurus with his little brother Uriel, and they are Gemini Altair, Cancer with her little sister Lotus, Libra, Virgo, Capricorn with his two siblings Chikara and Nanairo, Sagittarius with his little brother Barrow, Aquarius and Pisces." As Aries introduced himself and the others, Taurus gave a soft nod while putting a hand on Uriel's right shoulder, Gemini wave her hand as greeting, Cancer gave a nod, Lotus put her arms behind her back, Leo gave a light bow, Libra stroke her hair, Virgo nodded with a happy hum, Capricorn kneeled while holding his two siblings close, Sagittarius held his bow, Barrow crossed his arms with a smirk, Aquarius adjusted his glasses and Pisces saved his brush before nodding to the newcomers.

"My name is Aidan and they are Aiden, Corona, Cyrus Adler, Phoenix Adler, Enya, Assana, Skye, Terran, Aaron, Blake Pierce, Alban, Krisi, Winter, Keith Miller, Jupiter Ledger and Tetsu Kagami." As Aidan introduced himself, Aiden gave an eager nod, Corona and Winter crossed their arms with smirks, Phoenix put his right fist in the left side of his collarbone before nodding, Enya nodded while crossing her arms behind her back, Cyrus gave a shy nod, Assana stroke her hair while nodding, Skye nodded with a happy hum, Terran crossed his arms while giving a nod, Aaron put his right arm on Blake's back and putting his right arm on Blake's shoulder as he nodded, Alban crossed his arms behind the back of his head while Krisi flipped her hair, Jupiter put his blaster above his shoulders and Keith with Tetsu held their weapons while nodding to them.

"My name is Caleb and they are my siblings, Sara, Luke, Caeli, my cousins Rei, Ila and Cheryl, my girlfriend Aria with his siblings Seth and Kibou, they are Abelyn, Leyla with her little brother Sammy." As Caleb introduced them, Sara, Aria and Abelyn stroke their hairs with their right hands, Luke gave nod, Rei gave a happy nod, Ila crossed put her arms behind her back while giving a happy him, Seth bowed slightly, Leyla waved her right hand shyly as greeting, Sammy gave a happy nod, Caeli put her arms behind her back innocently while nodding happily, Cheryl just greeted and Kibou stood shiny behind Aria. "And they are shiny Mew, dark blue Veemon, Pulsemon, Dracomon, Floramon, Herissmon, Hackmon, Tinkermon, Lunamon, Coronamon, blueish Luxmon, Pomumon, Loogamon and SnowAgumon."

"Nice to meet you all." Astra said.

Then Ignis screeched softly as she approached Aidan before nuzzling him.

"Nice to meet you, Ignis." Aidan said as he petted the phoenix while Stella neighed while approaching Princess Stella.

"Hi there." Princess Stella said as she petted Astra's unicorn while Orobu grunted softly but startled Fluttershy.

"Don't worry, Orobu it's not bad once you meet him." Draco told her.

"Okay, thank you…" Fluttershy said, a bit shy.

"As you guys can see, we were infiltrated in a villains' reunion and we managed to get this." Jin said before showing the 7 Power Stars.

"It's just like the colors of the Chaos Emeralds." Tails said.

"Great job you guys." Aries said.

"Do the Oracles send you guys to spy on villains?" Capricorn asked.

"We don't know who the Oracles are?" Draco replied.

"Our master felt a dangerous dark presence there and instructed us to go there." Jin said and then some of the team members were shocked when they knew about a Keyblade Master to send them, specially the Zodiac Warriors, Elemental 10, Keyblade Wielders and Aether Team.

"Char…" The wild shiny Charmander said.

"Wanna come with me? Okay." Caleb said before using a Pokéball which successfully caught before turning to see the newcomers. "Okay, you guys can come with us."

With that said, the three new Keyblade Wielders.

"Giyu, it was impressive when we fought against Saïx." Rei told the Water Pillar who just nodded. "I was thinking that we could be friends."

"Please? Also train together?" Assana asked with shimmering eyes.

"Huh…?" Giyu felt dumbfounded before recomposing himself and walking away. "I'll think about it later, but first I must do some things."

"We will follow Tomioka, later we will reach you guys." Rei said as Assana nodded in agreement.

"Wait for me, Rei." Herissmon said as he followed Rei and Assana too who were following Giyu.

Now with the main group, they were walking until they found the same reddish Charmander from before.

"It's a Charmander." Ash said.

"I heard about Charmander, a flame burns on the tip of its tail from birth. It is said that a Charmander dies if the flame ever goes out." Aries explained.

"It dies if its flame goes out!?" Cyrus A. said.

"That's so sad." Enya sadly said.

"Meaning that I must take extra good care of my recently caught Charmander." Caleb said in understanding.

"It's rare to see a reddish Charmander like that one, then I will catch him." Aidan said.

"I don't know. It looks like he's in bad shape." Girl Sora said.

"Yeah, catch him and we'll take it to a Pokémon Center for help." Joe said.

"Good idea. Go for it, big bro." Aiden said.

"Okay then." Aidan said before tossing the Pokéball but then the reddish Charmander knocked the Pokéball away with his tail.

"It looks pretty healthy to me." Genki added.

"Maybe I should use one of my Pokémon to battle him first to weaken him and make him easier to catch." Aidan said.

"Why don't you let me catch it? My water Pokémon would be stronger against Charmander." Misty said.

"But Misty, you have an all water team. It would break your particular Pokémon team balance to have an out of place type." Jupiter L explained to her.

"Don't forget your Gyarados can use Flamethrower and also can learn to use Temper Flare." Sagittarius added before giving a TM Temper Flare to Misty.

"Also hold on a minute! Take a look at the flame on its tail." Brock said as they saw Charmander's tail getting lower.

"It's true. That Charmander's flame is pretty low." Sorrel said.

"There's no way it can still have the strength to battle." Henry said.

"Then how was it able to knock the Pokéball back to Aidan?" Terriermon asked.

"I don't know, but it seems awfully suspicious that a Charmander is just sitting in the middle of the road like this." Sara said.

"I'll try the Pokéball one more time." Aidan said.

"Are you sure it won't have the same result?" Dawn asked.

"Somehow I must bring him for his safety." Aidan said before tossing the Pokéball which hit and successfully caught the reddish Charmander. "It did work?"

Just then, the reddish Charmander breaks out from the Pokéball, and the ball barely bonks Aidan on the head as Corona catches the Pokéball.

"Sure has a lot of spunk." Terran said.

"You mean too stubborn if you ask me." Draco said.

"I still think that it's suspicious for a Charmander to just be sitting here in the middle of the road like this." JP said.

"I think this Charmander has an attitude problem." Zoe Orimoto said.

"No kidding." Zoe Drake added.

"Okay, I'm taking that Charmander to the Pokémon Center whether he likes it or not." Luke said.

"Are you sure, Luke?" Dracomon asked.

"He is not able to recognize his own life and therefore I must bring him." Luke said before grabbing and dragging the reddish Charmander who clung his claws to the rock. "Come on, don't be stubborn, we just want to help you!"

But in answer, the reddish Charmander used Flamethrower and Luke barely avoided the attacks as he released the reddish Charmander.

"That Charmander is very stubborn." Luke said.

"I'll speak with him." Shiny Charmander said before approaching the reddish Charmander. "Hey there, what are you doing? Don't you realize the flame in your tail is pretty low?"

"It doesn't matter, my master told me that he will come back for me and I must be loyal to him." The reddish Charmander told the shiny one from his point of view.

"I see." The shiny Charmander said before going to the group. "He told me that he is waiting for someone."

"You mean it belongs to somebody?" Jeri asked.

"No wonder Sara thought it was suspicious that Charmander was just sitting in the middle of the road." Iida said.

"Yeah, but I'm not exactly sure if whoever Charmander's waiting for is coming by any time soon. I mean, it had to have been out here for a while for his tail flame to get that low." Sara explained.

"All the same, if it's waiting for someone, I think we better leave him. It's probably best if its own trainer takes care of it." Brock suggested.

"I hope its trainer comes back soon." Ash said.

"I don't know, there are chances that his trainer won't come back for his Charmander." Aquarius whispered.

"Are you saying that he won't keep his word!?" Aaron angrily whispered.

"Only there are possibilities." Aquarius whispered calmly.

"In this case, let me handle this." Cyrus said before sending out his Charizard.

Cyrus' Charizard gave a soft growl.

"Charizard, can you help me convince this Charmander?" Cyrus asked as his Charizard saw the stubborn Charmander and nodded.

Cyrus' Charizard approached the reddish Charmander, he gave a growl to come with them however the reddish Charmander.

"Listen, whoever is your trainer, he won't keep his word to come back for you." Aaron told him.

"You better come with us, if you want to live because the flame of your tail is lower." Aidan said.

Then after thinking for a few seconds, he glanced at the flame of his tail before nodding and getting up and following the group.

"Let me help you." Aidan said as he brought the reddish Charmander in his arms.

"That was new." Furrball said.

"Normally we shouldn't force Charmander to come with us if he wants to wait for his trainer, even if a certain irresponsible trainer could leave him to die there." Dot commented.

"But at the same time we saved Charmander." Sorrel said.

"And also learning about showing loyalty to real Pokémon Trainers." Mimi added.

"However I would feel bad for Charmander when the little one realizes the truth." Fluttershy said.


Hearthome City

Eventually the group arrived at the city where Draco, Astra and Jin with their magical animals had to hide somewhere.

"Guys, where are you going?" Luke asked them.

"Sorry, but we're being searched by the police in this world." Draco said.

"Let me handle this." Virgo said as she saw the officer Jenny as she watched briefly the officer's eyes changed a bit.

Then the officer Jenny showed the photos of Draco with Orobu, Astra with Stella and Jin with Ignis to the Zodiacs and Elementals:

"Have you seen these people with their Pokémon? They are thieves." The disguised changeling asked before adding. "The officer Jenny from Hearthome city is already aware of the situation."

"I see, but we didn't see them." Aria replied.

"I would say no." Virgo replied as she cast the reveal spell to make Chrysalis blow up her disguise while Jupiter immediately snatched the photos.

"Impossible! The changelings like me are superior beings than the humans, no human is able to detect me when I am transformed!" Chrysalis said in disbelief.

"My magic can identify when a shapeshifter is transformed." Virgo replied.

"You haven't seen the last of me!" Chrysalis said before taking flight.

"You guys can come out!" Pomumon called them and the newcomers came out.

"Thank you." Astra said.

"No problem." Abelyn said.

"Now I'll tell to the real officer Jenny from here that the previous one was an impostor." Virgo said.


Pokémon Center

After telling the case to the officer Jenny from here, Jin's group was now safe before coming with the heroes where the group came there while having dinner, a dish called oyakodon which is a bowl with rice, chicken strips and an egg yolk visible in the center.

"This is delicious." Jin said.

"Thank you." Cancer said.

"Wow…" Draco said as he was eating.

"Here." Aidan said as he put his right hand on the reddish Charmander passing a bit of energy and then the flame on his tail grew up before glancing at the door. "If I were you, I wouldn't come outside to wait again."

"I have the feeling that this Charmander was abandoned." Pinkie Pie said.

"Don't you think you're exaggerating? If the trainer had arrived in time, he could probably go to this Pokémon Center." Brock said.

Then laughter is soon heard as they saw Damian with a group of trainers.

"Sure got a lot of them."

"For sure!"

"Just look at them! It's a pretty cool collection.

"Way cool!"

"You're the man, Damian."

"Yo! I thought you had a Charmander too."

"Yeah, I had one. But that puny thing was so weak, it couldn't even beat the weakest opponents, he wasn't able to defeat the grass and bug type Pokémon, he even lost against a puny Oddish!" Damian said while the main group heard.

"What!?" Kiawe exclaimed.

"What a jerk!" Tai added.

"Clearly a dimwit." Draco said, referring to Damian.

"It's unforgivable!" Cody growled.

"I don't like his attitude." Misty said.

"Me neither, that is no way for a trainer to talk about his Pokémon." Sammy said.

"That is so mean!" Leyla said, upset.

"Charmander may be weak against water, rock and ground Pokémon, but if their trainers work hard, they can be strong." Brock said.

"Everything could change if my Charmander learns to use Thunder Punch along with Solar Beam, just after evolving to Charizard." Caleb said.

Back with Damian's group.

"So what did you do with the Charmander?" One of the trainers asked.

"Ah, I left it on some rock in the woods." Damian replied.

The main group was shocked.

"He was the one who abandoned him!" Aidan angrily whispered.

"That thing is so stupid! No matter what I do to it, it keeps on following me! I finally got rid of it by promising I'd come back for it. It fell for it! It's probably still there waiting for me!" Damian said before he and his gang laughed.

Even the reddish Charmander felt bad after hearing that information, now realizing that Damian is a dishonest trainer who barely left him to die there.

"I bet its still up there, wagging his tail." One of the trainers with Damian said.

"It'll probably wag it so long, it'll put the flame out." Another trainer with Damian said.

"Yeah, for sure!" Damian said.

Aidan growled as he tried to lunge at Damian but he was held back by Jin.

"Calm down, Aidan. He is not worthy." Jin told him.

"Sorry, but he abandoned him." Aidan said, calmed down.

"Somehow or another Damian will receive his karma when he least expects it." Seth said.

"Yeah." Coronamon nodded in agreement.

"I wonder where Giyu will be Giyu along with Rei, Herissmon and Assana." Sabito said.


Hearthome City

It is a peaceful night there while Rei along with Herissmon and Assana are following Giyu, however the two children are behaving themselves like toddlers.

"Hi Giyu." Rei greeted him. "What are you doing?"

"Giyu, please listen to us, what are you doing?" Assana asked him.

"Are you patrolling? The streets are safe, there aren't demons here or the Subspace troops." Rei added while Assana checked an alley.

"There are no monsters here, what a relief." Assana said.

"Now let's train a bit, even during this night." Rei said.

"Please Giyu, train us, did you hear us?" Assana asked.

Giyu couldn't help but sigh with a sweat-drop and later in a soba restaurant.

"Mr. Giyu." Rei and Assana called him during the dinner.

Back in the streets.

"Mr. Giyu." Rei and Assana called him.

Even in the bathroom from the hotel in Hearthome city where Rei and Giyu are seeing Giyu in the bathtub from the window, who is bothered in a comical way.

"Mr. Giyu." Rei and Assana called him.

Outside the hotel.

"Mr. Giyu!" Rei and Assana called him.

Their voices were heard and Herissmon couldn't help but sigh.

"This is gonna be a long night." Herissmon said.

Now in the hotel, Shinobu has Kibou in the bathtub giving a shower for him while Kanae is doing the same to Caeli, both small children are in the same bathtub while both Kocho sisters are rubbing their tiny bodies with their hands.

"Your hands are so soft…" Kibou giggled while feeling Shinobu's soothing and soft touch from her hands.

"Looks like you're really enjoying your bath." Shinobu couldn't help but giggle at Kibou's cuteness.

"I feel like a babysitter doing this, you really look so innocent." Kanae said.

"Thank you." Caeli said as she held Kanae's right hand which was touching her left cheek.

"You remind me a lot of Kanao when she was younger." Kanae said with joy.

"Now close your eyes." Shinobu told them.

Both small children nodded twice before closing their eyes before the two sisters grabbed buckets with water and dropped the water in the bodies of Kibou and Caeli to clear off the foam from their bodies, and then after rinsing them, both children were wrapped in towels where Shinobu is drying Kibou while Kanae is drying Caeli, only their faces and heads are visible while the rest of their bodies are wrapped with the towels.

"You both look so adorable like this." Shinobu said.

"Heh…" Caeli and Kibou couldn't help but giggle at the compliment.

After being dried, the two toddlers have their pajamas, Kibou is wearing a blue sleeping shirt with blue sleeping pants while Caeli is wearing a pink buttoned pajamas, both of them have their socks from their usual clothes and later Kanae was combing Caeli's hair who was humming happily while Shinobu was seeing the picture of a butsudan in her Multiversal Phone.

'Calm down, it's alright. Mom, dad, help me calm down. Only the immature fail to control their emotions. The immature.' Shinobu said in her thoughts before two crossed veins popped in Shinobu's face despite having her usual smile, but then said thoughts made Sakura Haruno to sneeze knowing that she is still trying to control her emotions.

"Shinobu…" Kibou called her before asking her. "Are you okay? You have two crossed veins in your face."

"It's nothing, Kibou. I was just thinking of my parents. I think seeing Kanae revived was a miracle." Shinobu told him reassuringly.

"Shinobu, also I think reviving my mom along with me was a gift, just like reviving your sister Kanae, because my brother Seth enjoys seeing your caring smile, you're kind and generous, everyone loves you as you really are." Kibou told her.

The Insect Hashira couldn't help but blush with a warm smile.

"Kibou, that was so inspiring and cute at the same time." Shinobu told him, causing him to smile innocently with a small blush.

The Aether Team, Sphere Warriors, Zodiac Warriors, Elemental 10, three Defenders of the Aether Kingdom and some of the Pokémon Trainers couldn't help but smile warmly at that friendship scene, Shinobu used her right hand to caress Kibou's left cheek, he giggled a bit as he grabbed Shinobu's right hand.

"You're so cute, Kibou." Shinobu said with a kind smile but then Kibou yawned cutely. "Someone is getting sleepy."

"But I…" Kibou tried to speak until she shushed him gently.

"Don't speak, you're younger, you need to sleep more." Shinobu said before giving the goodnight kiss on Kibou's forehead who couldn't help but giggle quietly.

Eventually she gave Kibou to Aria's arms and most of the children in the heroes' group gathered around the princess of the Aether Kingdom.

"Aria, do you know what a mother is?" Kanao suddenly asked, knowing that her biological parents didn't show real love to her.

"Well, a mother, a real mother is the most wonderful person in the world. She's the angel voice… that bids you good night, kisses your cheek, whispers: sleep tight." Aria replied before singing to the children.

*YOUR MOTHER AND MINE (PETER PAN)*

"Let's hear her to keep our minds away from the Twisted Childhood Universe version of Peter Pan." Aries told the Zodiacs and Elementals who nodded in understanding.

[Aria]

Your mother and mine...Your mother and mine…

The helping hand that guides you along…

Whether you're right…

Whether you're wrong…

Meanwhile the villains arrived to the windows of the hotel, but then they decided to listen.

[Aria]

Your mother and mine...Your mother and mine…

The children felt the song was powerful because they remembered their love from their mothers.

[Aria]

What makes mothers all that they are…

Might as well ask…

What makes a star…

Outside, the rest of the villains couldn't help but hear the song, even Jessie was missing her mother (Miyamoto). Smee heard the song before lifting his shirt seeing the tattoo of heart with the mother's message on it, then he lowered his shirt before weeping on Captain Hook, but he shushed him.

[Aria]

Ask your heart to tell you her worth…

Your heart will say…

Heaven on Earth…

Serena sees that Kibou was asleep and tucks him in.

[Aria]

Another word…

For divine…

Your mother and mine...

*ENDS*

"Okay, goodnight to everyone." Caleb said while holding Caeli in his arms and tucks her in.

Now outside, the villains turned at each other.

"Let them sleep, it won't be fair to attack them while they are sleeping, especially for the fire boy." Bowser said.

"But why let them sleep?" Muggshot asked.

"I can confirm the boy named Aidan has made multiple troubles to us." Gantu said.

"Through fiery passing and his leadership, I'm sure. Impressive." Bowser said.

"You speak of him with respect as often as you hate him. I do not understand." Hades said.

"Oh, of course I hate that boy! But that doesn't change the fact that he is a formidable adversary. I respect him, but I don't have to like him." Bowser replied.

"You have a great point of view, my friend." Eggman told Bowser. "It seems like me when I refer to Sonic."

Eventually the villains left the heroes to sleep.


Route 208

Meanwhile, Brody instructed his Ditto to transform into many different Pokémon to beat a lot of wilds Pokémon before trapping them into cages, however Brody was remembering their defeats in the past, like being beaten by May with her Blaziken, beaten by Sonic Prime, even when he lost the battle against the heroes in Kamino, later in Odaiba when he and the others framed the Digidestined and also in the Final Fortress of Eggman.

'I never lose, I never lose! Me and Ditto always win! That girl and her Blaziken ruined my reputation as a winner! I will never forgive her! I will never forgive her! I was waiting for her and that girl with her Biyomon to lose in the tournament! This won't stay like this! I refuse to accept this!' Brody said in his thoughts with much hatred and very obsessed, even feeling his own darkness increasing indirectly as he was plunging himself in his own darkness of obsession and hatred.


Hearthome City

Now back in the hotel, Kairi is sleeping close to Kari, however Kairi was sweating with fear as she was sleeping.

"You have no fate to live, even becoming a Keyblade Wielder or fighting against the forces of darkness you are just delaying your inevitable death, you and others from your bloodline will be doomed from being separated from all the beloved people you care and love while the one who deeply loves, him and his bloodline will be sentenced to have eternal suffering." Kairi's heard a voice similar to the ones of Xehanort.

Just then, Kairi awoke from her nightmare with a gasp and she saw that everyone was alright before sighing with relief, however she was still bothered by that nightmare as she tried to sleep. Eventually the next morning, Giyu woke up as he saw Rei, Herissmon and Assana looking at him.

"Erk…" Giyu was caught by surprise.

"Ahh…" Rei and Assana said, still waiting for Giyu.

'Are they going to… keep this up for the rest of my life? If I talk to them, will they stop stalking me?' Giyu asked himself in his thoughts.


Route 208

Now back in the same route where they found the abandoned Charmander, while the main part of the group was training, Rei with his Digimon and Assana are with Giyu.

"Giyu, you were incredible in the tournament and even against the Organization XIII, even Sabito praised you for your potential as a Pillar." Rei said.

"Honestly… I never passed the Final Selection." Giyu finally replied.

"Huh?" Rei and Assana were confused.

"What is the Final Selection?" Herissmon asked.

"It's the trial in Mount Fujikasane. That year, along with a boy whose family had also been killed by demons, a boy with peach-colored hair named Sabito, I took part in the Selection." Giyu explained.

"Let me guess? It is Sabito and you, Giyu." Rei said and Giyu nodded.

"I was 13. We were the same age and all alone in the world. We became fast friends. Sabito had a strong sense of justice… and he had a kind and gentle heart." Giyu explained while flashbacking when Giyu was younger while befriending Sanemi and even when Sabito was revived, he cannot forget how he died. "The only one who died during that year's Selection… was Sabito. He'd killed every demon on that mountain almost single-handedly. Everyone but Sabito passed that Final Selection. I was… wounded by the first demon that attacked me and was in a daze."


Taisho Period: Mount Fujikasane

Giyu flashbacked when he was younger and was covering the wound in his left eye, said the injury was caused by a demon.

"At that moment… It was Sabito who saved me, too." Present Giyu explained through the flashback.

The same demon lunged to attack again.

"Water Breathing, Fourth Form… Striking Tide!" Sabito said as he performed his technique and beheaded the demon.

"Ah…" Young Giyu gasped but then he cringed in pain from the wound and another boy was close to Giyu. "Ugh…"

"Ngh…" Sabito grunted.

"Eek… Ah… Ahhh!" They heard the voice of another voice being held by a horrendous demon with multiple greenish hands, seemingly from a horror movie, the Hand Demon, the same who killed Makomo previously and before killing Sabito.

"Ah…" Young Giyu gasped at the sight of the Hand Demon, Sabito told Giyu to go away with the boy as Sabito went to face the demon of multiple hands.

"Leaving me in the care of another boy, Sabito ran off toward the voice pleading for help. When I came to, the Final Selection was over. It's true that I'd survived for seven days and passed the Selection, but as I'd failed to defeat a single demon and had only been saved by another, could you really say that I'd passed?" Present Giyu explained as the flashback was over.


Sinnoh Region: Route 208

Now back in the present.

"I'm not worthy of being the Water Hashira. And for that matter, I'm not even worthy of standing as an equal with the other Hashira. I'm not like them. Normally, there'd be no place for me in the Demon Slayer Corps. Have the Hashira train you. That would be best. Maybe I'll never manifest a mark. Though it might have happened for Sabito. Just forget about me from now on. You three are only wasting your time." Giyu told them before he walked away and left the three of them behind.

'I'll bet that Giyu thinks he should've been the one to die. I know all too well how that feels. When someone close to you that you wish had outlived you… ends up dying before you instead, and worse, not everyone in the world has proper goodbyes before said people pass away… it leaves you feeling gutted with pain, just like my grandma, Goldstream.' Assana said in her thoughts, feeling bad for Giyu as she manifested some tears when she flashbacked briefly her grandma.

'Sabito was the one who trained Tanjiro on Mt. Sagiri along with Makomo… That was such a strange experience for them, like if their spirits couldn't rest until that demon was decapitated. They were both already long dead, but they helped him and it was a gift to see them revived.' Rei said in his thoughts.

'However, if Sabito went through the Final Selection with Giyu. If he'd lived from the beginning, he would've been the same age as Mr. Giyu, that's amazing… So amazing. He saved everyone during the Selection.' Assana said in her thoughts.

'However, just as Aries said, if Giyu stayed to assist Sabito, he could have died and therefore the story would be completely different.' Rei said in his thoughts.

'But at the same time, if Sabito had a different fate, he would've become such an incredible swordsman and be the Water Pillar or Hashira. That must be part of the reason why Giyu feels he should've been the one to die.' Assana said in her thoughts before still remembering her grandma. 'Even if grandma wasn't killed by a demon, she died from a rare disease. I cannot forget the trauma from those days, years ago, just like the trauma that Giyu had in the past.'

'I remembered when me and Caleb were so small, just when Myotismon attacked our village, I was so small, I couldn't do anything, only Caleb survived, how I wished to follow him.' Rei said tensely in his thoughts.

"Giyu!" Both Assana and Rei called him.

'Ugh, they won't stop for me!' Giyu couldn't help but sigh.

"You aren't the only one who suffered in the past, I suffered like you when my grandma passed away from a rare disease!" Assana responded, but tearfully.

"Huh…!?" Giyu couldn't help but gasp as he turned to see the two, however, he noticed Aria's tearful eyes clearly.

"Giyu, I know how do you feel, you're so traumatized by your past, but you aren't the only one either, just when my village was attacked, I was so small and defenseless, even if reviving human seems against the nature laws, being revived is seems more a gift which means that me and everyone in my homeworld has second chance to live and maybe it could be the same in your homeworld!" Rei explained to Giyu before adding. "Aren't you going to pass on what Sabito entrusted to you?"

Then Giyu held his left hand on the left cheek before having another flashback.


Taisho Period: Mount Sagiri

The flashback returned to the past during the dusk.

"I wish I had died instead of my sister, Tsutako!" Young Giyu shouted but then Sabito slapped him so hard in the left cheek as the younger Giyu fell to the ground. "S-Sabito…!?"

"Don't ever say you should've died again!" Sabito scolded Giyu before angrily explaining to him. "Next time you say it, you and I are through! I won't be your friend anymore! Your big sister, who was supposed to be married the next day, knew what was going to happen when she hid you from the demons to protect you! You, of all people, shouldn't be insulting your sister's memory! Don't you dare die, no matter what! The life that your sister saved for you by sacrificing her own… the future that she entrusted to you… You have to pass those on, too, Giyu!"

After explaining to the younger Giyu, said words encouraged him as Sabito smiled warmly and helped Giyu to stand up.

'It hurts. The shock and pain that I felt when he struck me across the face is coming back to me now so vividly. Why did I forget it? That conversation with Sabito…' Present Giyu said in his thoughts as he remembered when Sabito died, he then had to train harder and eventually he became the Water Pillar, even if it required to change the personality drastically. 'I didn't want to remember it because I wouldn't be able to stop the tears. Remembering made my grief unbearable, and it left me utterly helpless. Big Sis Tsutako… Sabito… Sorry that I'm so immature.'


Sinnoh Region: Route 208

Then now in the present, he remembered Rei's words and then he closed his eyes before remembering Sabito who was revived in this present along with Rengoku and even Makomo, even if they died they received a second chance to live, just like Tanjiro's family, meaning that he could have chances to see Tsutako too, however he must win it first just like Tanjiro did after defeating Akaza with a bit of help or when Aria did the ending blow against Queen Nehelenia, she won her chance to see her mom revived plus a newborn brother and with Shinobu's case, Seth was able to open up her heart from the shadows of the past, the since the prince was able to recognize and respect Aria's relationship with Caleb, now he feels free to follow his heart.

"Rei is known for being loyal to his friends, therefore he didn't leave you as a good friend, now you should do the same for your friends, even the Pillars are your friends too." Herissmon told him.

"Also, you're worthy of being a Hashira, you even created your own breathing technique." Assana added.

"Assana, Rei, even Herissmon. Thank you for supporting me." Giyu told Assana as he has a small smile on his face.

"You're welcome, Giyu. I see you getting better." Assana replied, noticing Giyu's smile.

"Now we should be back with the others." Rei said and Giyu couldn't help but flashback himself when he was younger and appearing on Rei's place while in Assana's place, a girl with black hair tied in a single braid, blue eyes and wearing a red haori appeared on Assana's place, his sister Tsutako appeared there, and now in the present he nodded before following the two children.

Now back with the others, Enya called Skeledirge to use Earth Power against a wild Flareon before tossing the Pokéball which successfully caught Flareon, followed by Phoenix's Emboar using Head Smash against a wild Magmar before catching him with the Pokéball, Corona's Camerupt used Earth Power against a wild Torkoal who has Dough ability, Aiden's Incinerace used Smack Down by kicking the orange energy sphere which hit a wild Rotom to nullify the Levitate's ability and followed by using Scorching Sands which was very effective against Rotom, Winter's Galarian Avalugg used Rock Slide against a male wild Snorunt while Krisi's Vanilluxe used Flash Cannon against a female wild Snorunt, and then all of them tossed their Pokéballs to catch their Pokémon, Corona caught his new Torkoal, Aiden his Rotom, Krisi a female Snorunt and Winter a male Snorunt and with Aidan, who has the reddish Charmander with him, they were training against Kiawe's Turtonator while the Zodiac Warriors and Aether Team was with Ash.

"By any chance, do you still have your 30 Tauros?" Sagittarius asked.

"Yes." Ash said. "The same ones that I caught during a bet against Team Rocket and I won against them as I always did in my journeys."

"Well, those three stooges, no matter what kind of tricks they do, they will always lose." Luke said.

"And also those 30 Tauros were saved before being used as troops for Team Rocket." Caleb said.

"However, it's just a suggestion, because you could trade those 29 Tauros while you will still have just one Tauros, if you want." Furrball said.

"Apart from getting evolved Pokémon only obtained by trading, you could also get new Pokémon and forge new bonds with them." Yakko added.

"I see, I just hope that they could be in safe hands." Ash said.

"Don't worry, there's a special service called Global Wonder Station or GWS in the Sinnoh region, not only compatible with the RotomPhone, but also your Multiversal Phone." Sagittarius said before using his phone to upload GWS and pass it to Ash. "There, now you could get new Pokémon, discover new movesets and even forging new bonds with those traded Pokémon."

"Okay, however I need to say goodbyes to my 29 Tauros." Ash said.

"Okay, I understand." Sagittarius said in understanding.

It took some minutes to call 29 Tauros to say goodbye to them, even the eight main Digidestined joined to say goodbyes to the 29 bulls-like Pokémon.

"You know guys, just when Ash returned back to the Kanto region after visiting the Hoenn region, the 30 Tauros gave him a comical welcome." Misty told the Zodiac Warriors as she flashbacked when the 30 Tauros rammed Ash blasting him to the skies, just like Team Rocket, while Ash's Pikachu couldn't help but sweat-drop at the scene and the flashback ended.

"Okay then, the 29 Tauros are ready to meet new trainers and hopefully they'll be in good hands." Ash said.

And just as he said, Ash used the GWS to send his 29 Tauros there, and eventually his 29 Tauros were traded, a Braviary landed and bowed barely pecking Ash, a Hydreigon roared but accidentally scared Fluttershy, a Bidoof jumped while clapping his forepaws, a Kleavor from Terarium Dome, a Machoke who evolved to Machamp who flexed his muscles, an Alolan Graveler who evolved to the Alolan Golem (a reference when Ash tried to catch an Alolan Geodude but he failed), Arcanine who rammed into Ash before nuzzling him, a Charcadet fistbumped Ash, a Bisharp handshakes Ash, a Paldean Tauros Water Breed met Ash and also befriend the Tauros from Kanto, Lokix jumped before landing on Ash's head, Cetitan bounced into Ash to show his affection at his new trainer, when his trainer got up, Cyclizar bit his new trainer on the head to show his affection, DK felt something familiar with the face of Garganacl, the female Flamigo approached Hawlucha who couldn't help but blush, Klawf despite being a rock type and Crawbrawler despite being a fighting type, both crabs-like Pokémon he befriended easily with Kingler and Crawdaunt, Trumbeak, Fearow and the shiny Corvisquire befriended easily with the flying type Pokémon of Ash, Porygon was circling around Ash along with Beedrill too, Jangmo-o grabbed Ash before giving him a noogie in his head, an Alcremie (caramel swirl with berry sweet) jumped to Ash's arms as he grabbed her, Snivy used Vine Whip to pet Oddish who is a girl like her too, Falinks jumped to nuzzle their new trainer, Spoink jumped excitedly along with Pinkie Pie and the Galarian Slowking nodded to his new trainer.

"Looks like they got used to their new trainer." Girl Sora said, referring to Ash's recently traded and new Pokémon.

"Hey guys!" Assana and Rei called them.

"You arrived in time." Aria said.

"Giyu, are you?" Sabito asked.

"Yes, they helped and supported me." Giyu replied.

"Hey, thank you for supporting Giyu." Sabito told Assana and Rei with Herissmon.

"No problem." Assana said.

"That's what friends are for." Rei said.

"Also, watch this!" Caleb said before calling his shiny Charmander. "Use Thunder Punch!"

Caleb's Charmander nodded before showing his Thunder Punch's demonstration and now back with Aidan versus Kiawe as training.

"Turtonator, use Dragon Tail!" Kiawe instructed and Turtonator prepared to use Dragon Tail.

"Dodge it!" Aidan instructed the reddish Charmander who clearly obeyed the Fire Elemental as he dodged the attack but accidentally Turtonator hit the tree and provoked a swarm of Beedrill.

"Aidan, we gotta run…!" Kiawe said.

"What!? I can handle them." Aidan said.

"Char!" The reddish Charmander said.

"Wanna do this, little guy?" Aidan asked and the reddish Charmander nodded. "Then show me your moves!"

The reddish Charmander turned to face the swarm of Beedrills before charging fire in his mouth and then unleashed a big barrage of fire named Inferno which hit the swarm of Beedrills causing super effective damage to them and then they had to fly away after being hit by such powerful move, and then at the same time Damian was witness of the scene.

"Charmander beat them?" He asked himself in surprise.

The group was surprised after seeing the reddish Charmander using a powerful fire type move.

"That movement was Inferno." Cilan said.

"Normally Inferno has 50% accuracy but has a 100% chance of causing burns to the target." Calamity said as Little Beeper beeped in agreement.

"That was incredible, Charmander." Aidan said as he petted the reddish Charmander.

"Is that Charmander yours?" Assana asked him.

"Not yet, he was abandoned and barely left to die but we rescued Charmander." Aidan explained.

"Even Cyrus' Charizard convinced that stubborn Charmander." Luke added.

"That means Charmander knows we cared." Misty said.

"Charmander, how'd you like to join up with us? I'm afraid your so-called trainer isn't coming back." Aidan offered the reddish Charmander.

"Hey, Chamander. Been looking all over for you." Damian, who appeared from nowhere, said.

"Damian…!" Aries dryly said.

"You again!?" Aidan exclaimed towards Damian

"Tell us what do you want, Damian?" Caleb asked.

"Yeah, you're here to gloat?" Sara asked as she put both hands on her hips.

"I came back for Charmander, just like I promised." Damian said which caused much of the members to gasp in shock, minus Aries along with the Tiny Toons clearly not trusting Damian, for Applejack she could notice dishonesty on Damian and Aaron neither knowing that he and the others heard how Damian abandoned the reddish Charmander.

'Did he really change his heart and mind? I'm not so sure.' Caleb said in his thoughts.

"So, let's go." Damian told the reddish Charmander.

Charmander looks at our heroes, Enya along with Caeli, Fluttershy and Cream couldn't help but stream a few tears from her eyes, and then back to Damian. Confused as to what he should do.

"Be careful, this trainer already abandoned you once before." Koji M told him.

"Think carefully about your decision, little one." Kelsey added to the reddish Charmander.

"Charmander is mine! I'm the one who caught it!" Damian told the group.

"Damian, you bragged about how you abandoned it!" Aidan angrily told him.

"I agree, you and your friends were laughing about how it was out in the storm, nearing death's door!" An upset Sora explained which shocked Damian meaning that they overheard him, but came back to his jerkass attitude.

"So, you were spying on me, and what if I did that?" Damian asked before adding. "It is a good thing I did. That toughened it up! Besides, what's wrong with dumping off a weak Pokémon?"

"That just shows that you don't have any compassion or heart!" An upset Jeri told him.

"Jeri is right! This shows that you are a cold-hearted monster!" An upset Meiko added.

Then the reddish Charmander looks shocked at what Damian said again, hearing that painful truth because he was loyal to a dishonest trainer who barely left him die.

"I knew he would say that." Buster whispered as the other toons nodded in agreement.

"I wasn't gonna come back for it, but now that I've seen what it can do, I'm really glad I ran into you guys." Damian said while the reddish Charmander's look of shock turns into a look of sadness as he realizes that Damian truly never cared for him. "The best thing is, I didn't have to raise it myself."

Then in reaction, most of the members are disgusted, angry, sour and cold glares and hatred at Damian.

"How could you say that at your own Charmander!?" Kiawe demanded like an erupting volcano, because abandoning Charmander like that as he remembered his grandfather's Charizard who is now in his hands, he felt as if Damian was insulting his grandfather's memories after abandoning a Charmander like that knowing that is the first stage of Charizard.

"So, that's how it is with you!?" Sora asked in a very angry tone. "You just leave your Pokémon in the middle of nowhere and leave him for dead all because it's weak!"

"That's terrible!" Misty said with disgust.

"You really are mean!" Verity angrily said as her Piplup nodded in agreement but angry too.

"Raising a Pokémon is the best part of being a trainer!" Brock told Damian.

"You wish! It's the most boring part of the job." Damian scoffed.

"What did you just say!?" Sorrel angrily asked.

"How dare you call yourself a Pokémon trainer!" Brock said.

"You're a fake Pokémon Trainer!" Tai told him.

"You see? He doesn't care about you. He just wants to use you to win matches." Misty told the reddish Charmander.

"He's just a lazy Pokémon Trainer who doesn't deserve you or any other Pokémon at all." Kairi added while speaking to the Charmander.

"Charmander." Aidan called him.

"Charmander." Corona called.

"Charmander." Aiden called.

"Charmander." Cyrus A called.

"Charmander." Phoenix A said.

"Charmander, don't go back with that monster!" Enya Adler and Sakura Avalon told him.

"Charmander, return!" Damian said before throwing Charmander's Pokéball, but then the reddish Charmander got angry before knocking the Pokéball back at Damian's face by the reddish Charmander's tail to the shock of everyone.

"Just in the face…!" Caleb said with satisfaction but then the Pokéball on Damian's face fell as he was very angry.

"That does it! You little ingrate grunt! I'll crush you with every Pokémon I've got!" Damian yelled as he lifted his Pokéball ready to crush the reddish Charmander literally.

"Oh no you won't! Turtonator, use Flamethrower!" Kiawe commanded.

Then Turtonator along with the reddish Charmander, Caleb's one and Cyrus' Charizard used Flamethrower at Damian, then the shiny Mew used Tri Attack, Sora and Rei's Oshawott used Swift, also pink Snivy used Razor Leaf, shiny Pichu used Swift, Riku's shiny Litten used Flamethrower too, Caeli's Popplio used Disarming Voice, Aidan called his Infernape to use Flamethrower against Damian, Aidan's Cinderace along with Corona's Camerupt, Phoenix's Emboar and Enya's Skeledirge used Fire Spin, the shinies Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Chimchar, Tepig and Fennekin used Fire Pledge, shinies Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip, Piplup, Oshawott and Froakie used Water Pledge, shinies Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig, Snivy and Chespin used Grass Pledge, shinies Riolu, Skitty and Meowth used Swift, Grovyle used Dragon Breath, Cancer called Blissey to use Egg Bomb and lastly the Pikachus of Tyson K, Ash and Chase used Thunderbolt with all the attacks hitting Damian who received what really deserves and when they finished, Damian was charred and groaned in pain before saving all his Pokéball and before he could run away, his path was blocked by the Wind Pillar.

"Abandoning and neglecting a pet is something that I won't tolerate." Sanemi said as he cracked his knuckles while having a maniac-like expression, also understanding that the Pokémon are like the pets in his homeworld.

And before he could know, Sanemi punched Damian with an uppercut sending him to the sky.

"MOMMY!" Damian shouted as he was blasted off just like Team Rocket.

"Ooohhhh! That gotta hurt." Aries said.

"He totally deserves that." Aidan said.

"You gave him his punishment, Sanemi." Kanae told him as he hugged him and then Sanemi blushed like a tomato.

The Elemental 10 couldn't help but giggle at the scene.

"Good job, Charmander. You taught him a lesson that Damian won't forget." Aidan said.

"Char." Reddish Charmander said.

"Now welcome aboard." Aidan said before using his Pokéball which successfully caught the reddish Charmander.

Just then the backpacks of Assana and Cameron started to glow and they opened them revealing their eggs.

"Hey guys, the egg is going to hatch!" Assana called the group.

"Mine too!" Cameron said.

"Watch this moment, Caleb." Caleb said to himself.

Everyone gathered around to see the two eggs who were glowing until the eggs cracked and two gray bear cubs-like Pokémon appeared.

"Fuuu…" The two newborn bear cubs-like Pokémon yawned.

The Pokémon Trainers and the Digidestined were amazed.

"It's our first time seeing a Pokémon hatching from an egg." Takato said.

"Just like the Digimon." Bokomon added.

"Who is that Pokémon?" Ash said as he used his Multiversal Phone to scan the bear cubs-like Pokémon.

"Kubfu, the Wushu Pokémon, from fighting type. Kubfu trains hard to perfect its moves to master them while gaining determination which form it takes when it evolves. Also it pulls the long white hair on its head, its fighting spirit heightens and power wells up from the depths of its belly." The Multiversal Phone explained.

"Hi, Kubfu." Assana greeted gently.

"Fu…" Assana's Kubfu said as he grabbed Assana's right pinky finger causing her to giggle.

"Nice to meet you, little one." Assana greeted him gently.

"Hi there, Kubfu." Cameron greeted.

"Fu…!" Cameron's Kubfu said before fistbumping with Cameron.

Well, several things ended up well, the reddish Charmander was saved from his death, Damian got what really deserves for abandoning his Pokémon like that and avoiding his Pokémon Trainer's responsibilities, two new Pokémon hatched from their eggs and also Giyu's heart was healed from the guilt and pain from his past.


Aether Kingdom: Distant Island

Now meanwhile, back with Ky along with Pax, Griff, Nex, Elena, Lucky the White Yoshi, Noel, Luka, Rubyna and Ken are seeing four persons.

"Dad, mom, uncle, aunt." Ky said.

"Lord Fortitudo and Lady Amora." Pax said before he and the others bowed.

"Count Nago and Countess Rachel." Rubyna said before she along with Luka bowed, even Nex bowed to show respect.

Fortitudo is the man with gold hair with two bangs on his shoulders, blue eyes, and is wearing a white and blue robe, Amora woman with long light pink hair, has blue eyes, and is wearing a white and pink dress, the parents of Ky, Count Nago is the man with black hair, blue eyes, wearing blue, white, and gold royal robes, green gem in the center of the robes, a blue cape with a white heart at the back, white glove, and white boots while Countess Rachel is the woman with long light pink hair, blue eyes, and is wearing a white and yellow dress, the uncle and aunt of Ky meaning that they are the parents of Noel, meaning that Amora is Rachel's younger sister.

"Virtus, I have detected a darkness which is slowly increasing in a world far from here." Lord Fortitudo said (VR: Mick Lauer from Yoriichi in Demon Slayer).

"What kind of darkness is it?" Ky/Virtus asked.

"It's darkness which increases due to hatred and obsession." Lady Amora said, with her voice sounding like the one of Kie Kamado (VR: Dorothy Elias-Fahn).

"Now it's time for you all to depart to that world, Caleb and the others could need you along with Draco, Orobu, Astra, Stella, Jin and Ignis." Count Nago said, his voice sounded like the one from Dimitri (VR: Chris Hackney, also from Rauru in LOZ: Tears of the Kingdom).

"Mom, dad, what about here?" Noel asked, feeling unsure to leave this world.

"The Oracles returned, many defenses were installed in every town from this world, meaning that you and your friends now can go to other worlds." Countess Rachel said, her voice sounding like the one of Asuna (VR: Cherami Leigh, also from Sonia in LOZ: Tears of the Kingdom).

"Who the heck are the Oracles?" Ken asked but then Elena elbowed him in the left ribs causing him to grunt in pain and collapsing on his knees.

"Sorry about that." Elena said.

"The Oracles are a group who were here in the Aether Kingdom, four of the heroes who are here in this universe have connection to the Oracles of the World, Hierophant and High Priestess." Lord Fortitudo said, referring to Helios Adler along with Gabriel and Raphael Sternberg.

"So, what do you say guys?" Ky asked the team members.

"Let's do this!" Pax said.

"Okay then!" Griff said.

"Whatever you say." Nex sighed.

"Count me in." Elena said.

"Lucky wants to go too." Lucky said.

"Now I feel ready to go." Noel said.

"I'm going with you too." Luka said.

"Don't keep all the fun either." Rubyna said.

"This is gonna be good!" Ken said.

"It's decided." Ky said before turning to see his family and uncles. "See you!"

"See you too!" Noel said.

"Remember, may your heart be your guiding key." Lord Fortitudo and Count Nago told their respective children.

Ky's group went outside where he summoned his Keyblade which has a blue edge, gold hilt, silver handle, white stars on the edge, blue and white silver chain with a gold crown at the end, the Dawn of Hope, then Ky fired a beam of light which created a portal and everyone run to the portal to the world where Caleb is there.
