At the Isles, Leon and the Destiny Trio finished a mass recall and were down to the Poipole that was playing around with Pilikia. The youngster finished a lesson about what makes Poipole a special pokemon even compared to the rest of the Ultra Beasts. "Poipoles instinctively follow the example of Naganadel, whether they know why or not. Only by learning a move they have deep with in, will they evolve into this specimen."

Sora caught an interest in learning more. "What kind of move triggers that?" Leon was glad of that question. "One of the more handy of moves, dragon pulse." Sora ohed. "So he needs to learn that to become a dragon? Cool." Leon finished up with that lesson. "It requires some teaching and patience to figure it out, but it is worth it."

Kairi tapped a finger to the side of Sora's cranium. "Figuring out that you had the potential all along and prove that those who doubted you were in the wrong." Sora closed his eyes in pride as Riku watched the play match and admit. "Sora's kind of a genius where it counts." He turned to the adventurous Princess. ""Where is the cave and how are we going to get in there?"

Kairi had a look on the horizon to the west of the island and south of the mainland, finding a hint of a mountainous island. "It's over there, through an underwater tunnel." Leon readied to unpack something with Kilokilo as aid while Sora readied a particular spell. "Then we're going to need this to dive in there. Everyone, open your mouths."

Leon pulled out a set of black scuba gear and found a way to save himself the uncomfortable procedure. "That's not needed for me, Alola has nothing but ocean and my Daddy works there so often that it's common to be equipped with this." Kilokilo used her psychic power to hold the boy up and position the scuba suit to where he and his wrist bands could slip in place. He made sure he was snug and zipped up, he strapped his pokeballs across a belt and brought out a breathing mask and an oxygen pack. The whole moment was mesmerizing to say the least, up to where Leon finished putting on the gear, petted his partner and called her back. He readied Mahi Mahi's ball for easy access and had him sprint over to the water, the youngster gave a turn to the teenagers and signaled eagerly with a muffled. "Ready to dive into the deepest end of the sea!"

The teenagers were impressed and Sora admitted. "Kid's prepared." He focused on a spell he learned from a distant friend and conjured three bubbles. Kairi opened her mouth as Riku shrugged and did the same, the trio of breathing bubbles made a float into the wind pipes as Leon went to the shore and climbed on Mahi Mahi's back. Kairi sent out Azu and Seafang to join in the dip, the brute looked to the horizon, had a cartoonish smile and turned to the crew with a bark. "Ar!" (Hop aboard me 'arties!)

The boys obliged and hanged on by the fins as Kairi held to Azu's back and started a kick. The Princess thought of something, while she looked upon the keystone. She conjured her blade and had it give a matching shine. "Leon, that thing you and Mahi Mahi have, it's mega evolution, isn't it?"

The boy is surprised and noticed a Keystone with in the blade. "How did you get that?" He ignored the thought and answered. "It is! If you're thinking what I'm thinking, let's get some momentum from Sea Fang and bring out that latent power." He explained. "Sea Fang might have an ability known as speed boost, if used before mega evolution... he's coming at a higher speed than a mega Swampert in the water. Once we get moving, we'll be at the island in a matter of seconds."

Azu second the notion. (Yeah, Sea Fang had to slow down for us. Which is why I've learned to jet as well.) Leon whistled and had Mahi Mahi lead the swim, Sea Fang built up a jet and gave the older boys a moment to realize what they've agreed to. The boy and Princess shined their stones, Leon advised. "Hold on tight, because we're making a current!"

GLIMMER!

The brutish duo's stones reacted to the keystones that were raised to the air, flowing energy into their bodies and causing them to transform. Seafang into his pointy, scared form and Mahi Mahi into a hulking mass with his back fins extending into something with jets and his wrists swelling. The Swampert roared out. (FINALLY!) He and Sea Fang gave each other a look of a challenge and caused bubbles to form on their backs. The older boys sensed that tension and held a grip, Leon turned to the ultra beasts and waved. "If you spot anything, come over and try to let us know!" Pilikia gave a nod and watched the water types let loose a tidal splash, jetting into the water and splashing the two beasts silly. Azu let loose a jet with her tail and followed behind.

The sensation was like riding on a high powered ski boat, with Leon smiling under his breathing mask and turning to see the boys having their mouths pulled by the speed, they were starting to smile. Salt water constantly dripped at the face at the endless thrill while Kairi had a look at the island getting closer and closer. They were heading right towards it and the trainers gave a sharp single.

"Slow down!"

The water types turned off their jets and let themselves drift to a slow, while Azu kept an even pace. Kairi let go and had Azu dive down to scout while the girl was feeling the adrenaline leave. "We should try that again!" Sora was all for that while Riku was regaining his breath. "On...only if we got to!" The trainers gave a shine to power their partners down as the squad leader asked. "Do you remember where that Chamber is?" The Princess shook her head. "Only that it's there. We had to warp out of danger and split off to random areas before we could group up. We didn't lay out enough grounds for that map. But, we know certain places and that the chamber is right before a tunnel to the heart of the maze."

She let out Shooter and let Crinoid latch onto a rock, the Cradily realized where he is, turned his neck around to see the mountain and smile. (I heard that, I think I can lay out enough as we go along.) Sea Fang swam by to let the barnacle on, the sage asked. (You all lead, I'll direct!) Sea Fang grunted and sank into the water, with Mahi Mahi diving down and leading the follow, deeper and deeper to the sea floor until they found a cave way to go in. With an sense of normalcy, the exploration felt a little dull, knowing there wasn't any enemies popping out of the shadows. Crinoid had the lay out near flawless until they reached a chamber of three separate paths. The Barnacle echo'd. (Alright, that's as far as I've come before using that warp seed.)

The band stopped and Crinoid looked over to the two boys. (I got into a bad crowd of those monsters and a sea dude that wasn't himself at the time. So I had to eat a warp seed and pray to the Guardian of the Sea that I ended up far away from there.) He shifted his eyes to Kairi. (You and Azu had the same idea too?) Kairi nodded and pointed to a random direction. Speaking out in a muffled bubble. "We're kind of blind now, until we find something familiar."

She and Crinoid picked the right, the Barnacle remembered. (There's a few sandy chambers that can lead to the surface, some have pretty distinct corals too.) Sea Fang asked with his stomach feeling peckish. (One of them patches have a star tree?) Crinoid shrugged. (Never checked.) The band followed along and Riku conjured Way to Dawn and channeled an orange marker light. Should they find themselves going in a circle, they'll know. Most of the cave was of simple turns with multiple laid out paths, giving Riku an idea for the more complex directions, to lay out a different color to match where it will lead to.

Right, upward and a turn to the left. They've entered a curved chamber with sand going up to the surface and a collection of sea shells that had a light shine down upon them. Sea Fang recalled being there and floated to a narrow exit, looking like a window to the outside world. (Now this is familiar.) He pointed to the end of the curve. (There isn't much on that end I'm afraid. It was smart to make matching marker lights.)

Kairi noticed light shining down in a glimmer and looked above to find surface. "It was, you didn't bother checking up here because you wouldn't have been able to run from the danger." Shooter looked above. (No and that storm was that dangerous.) He and the girl ascended to have a look at a sand pocket and a stunning open roof cavern, showing vegetation that went well with the crack in the sky. Kairi was captivated by the view and Shooter sank down to call to the others.

The view was quite the captivating piece and Riku had a vision of a tropical mansion. "We can make a secret club house out here, if we can find enough caves." Sora was all for that idea as Leon imagined. "A secret base that's hidden in the middle of nowhere." He smiled slyly to the trouble makers. "You can be alone in here for hours and not get bored." I

t's tempting, Riku crawled to the sand and had a standing for a better view of the small ledges. He gave a tap with his blade and caused a ripple of light before ordering. "The rest of you, stay here. Seafang was acting like he saw something something like this, you remember anything he might have picked up?" Kairi recalled. "He was munching on one of the fruits we shared. So a paopu tree's got to be close by." Seafang looked above and shorted out water. (We found a short cut?) Riku thought about that. (If all it does is make us more lost, then we have a way to get back to the path. I'll be right back."

Glimmer!

He made a fast flow across the ledges in a zig zag pattern, reaching the top of the mountain in the span of a few seconds and having a good view of what to explore. Him disappearing out of site was a sign he found something of note. Glimmer! Glimmer! The rift of light opened up and let the boy through, who pointed thus thumb back. "Found something more interesting. There's a tunnel that can take us down. Could be a walk way." The band were impressed and Seafang tilt side ways. (Way through the land?)

Riku pointed to him and the Clawitzer. "You and Shooter should wait in the balls while the others come along on foot. They understood as Crinoid hopped off to the sand and startled crawling, Kairi called the more sea bound farers back. "Once we find more water, we'll let you back out." Pew! Crinoid stepped into the light and vanished, Azu and Mahi Mahi followed along with the humans right beside them. In that glimmer, they found themselves on top of the island, overlooking most of the sea. They looked around to have a view of the island they journeyed out of while Crinoid focused on a hole leading to a slope of rocks to climb upon. (Well, what do you know.) He wiggled towards it as Azu noticed and had a peak. The two of them hopped downward and out of site, the Destiny Trio climbed in while Leon and Mahi Mahi entered with caution. Sliding into a small chamber with water going into the tunnel.

Mahi Mahi took his turn to carry Crinoid and dived in through a spiral, bringing them a sandy chamber that lead straight into a tunnel that Crinoid recognized. (There it is!) He looked to the other route. (I found myself at a two way route to a coral den when I took the other way to here and dropped on to that tunnel.) Mahi Mahi hmmed as the others caught up, leading to a way that Kairi recognized, looking right to a wide opening and looking left to see a path she traveled in. "We're on the right path boys, and Azu." She pointed to the wide area. "Over there was a where he fought that Sea Witch and dropped a bomb on the Eidolon." then to the other path. "And over there is that chamber with the braille wall." Sora gave where it was due to the one who thought of the idea. "Good eye, Riku!" The older boy was charmed. "I didn't think that was going to work nearly as well."

Kairi let Seafang and Shooter out to show the familiar grounds and lead onward, towards a wide empty area a chamber ahead. The Seafarers looked up to the dark surface and ascended to the sealed chamber, with a ledge going to the wall. Dip! The boys splashed their heads out of the water and spotted the ledge, Kairi swam towards it. "We're finally here." She climbed up and flipped to her rear. "Does this look something that would show up on it's own?" Riku was next to reach the ledge and shook his head of the water. "Doubt it!" Sora remembered seeing a familiar report as he leaped up. "Ken showed us something like this!"

Kairi felt her inner other observing. "That, he did. But it was on a whole different world." Leon was the last to get on, pulling his face mask off. "That doesn't make any sense." Namine felt to correct the boy. "We didn't tell you this, but it does if you known that the worlds use to be one ages ago. Before a terrible war happened and caused the land to scatter into many." The two approached in a sync and placed their fingers on the dots. "Was this here before the split?"

Leon felt his brain short circuit and went for a phone, safe and dry in his bag. "My head is starting to hurt. Dex, would you translate this?" The Dex flew out eager and gave a scan, showing an braille alphabet while decoding the letters. The boy looked above the writing to find a symbol above. A lining of seven dots in a + formation. The horizontal pattern were two dots longer than the vertical. He recognized it as the Dex finished his task and showed it to the boy. "For eternity, the two sides will clash, always taking advantage over one another for supremacy of the land."

It is a confusing riddle, to say the least. Riku tapped his foot. "Two sides? Light and Darkness?" It's one answer that made sense. "Can't have one without the other." Leon hmmed. "Both sides are able to beat each other, but why?" Kairi had a realization. "Because one side has a strength over the other. And vice versa." That gave an idea to the aspiring adventurer. "I think I got it." He let out Pueo and looked over to Seafang. "Sharpedo's are water and dark." then back to his starter. "and Decidueye is a grass and ghost type." Kairi put together the elemental advantage. "Water is absorbed by the plants, but how does the other types come in?"

Riku felt a chill thinking about it. "Because what is darkness able to do to your spirit?" Leon raised a hand. "Or think of like this, Ghost pokemon are tied to the super natural. Using the shadows to get their way, casting hexes and using negative energy that will hit you in the being. Dark types, however are more about fighting dirty. Hitting you when your not looking, using their teeth if they can and beating you up with a gang." Riku's chill wasn't going away. "Cheating to get their way, letting loose some aggress...ion." Leon nodded. "Exactly! Only five known dark type moves use any powers. Dark pulse, snarl, night daze, infernal wrath and the one I've heard from Mommy, ruination."

He explained the more common of the moves. "Dark pulse and infernal wrath are powered by thinking dark thoughts and smashing your opponent to the ground with them. So, what will happen to all the ghosts when they meet someone that isn't scared of their tricks and have a bone to pick with them?" Crinoid whistled as Azu answered. (They'll get beaten back to the after life!)

Sora felt that was about right and recalled moments where he met people he would rather bash into the ground. "Yep!" Sea Fang plopped to the door as Pueo took a step and hooted in good will. While they were waiting for something to happen, Leon took the time to ask. "So what's all this talk about Darkness anyways?" Sora pointed a thumb back where they came from. "It's the stuff the Heartless are made from. All that negative and spooky stuff you talked about. We've had to bring down a guy who was trying to wreck our worlds with it." Kairi blew in frustration. "It's the cause of all the problems we had to go through and we've figured out that it was like that because people kept trying to use it."

The boy ohed and counted the blessing that he kept Pō hidden. "So it's not talked about fondly and I got to watch what I say because people will get the wrong idea and attack any ghost or dark types that end up in the wrong neighborhood?" Crumble! Crumble!

Suddenly, the wall began to crumble down, Sora confessed to a mixed feeling. "We know someone who has to hold onto the power that's been in his heart for a long time and he's done nothing but help us when we needed it." Riku remembered the sheer terror for that friend. "Once it was found out that his heart held the power of a Shade Lord, he had a giant bulls eye painted on him and the Seekers of Darkness would not leave him alone. I think the kids still trying to figure out that he survived all that without losing himself."

Leon cringed at what that person might have gone through. "Eek! "Nature's just running it's course and people tried to exploit that?" He sighed in pity. "He and those pokemon can't help with what they are. It isn't fair to treat them any differently just because they don't act the same as everyone else." Kairi was distracted by the wall revealing a door way and agreed. "My Lil' Bro kept to the Light that surrounded him and made it into a bright star in his Heart. Becoming a bit more than a dark heart. Sea Fang chose to be Azu's friend and followed her and the others through a lot of adventures."

Leon felt that heartening. "And he became your friend. Pueo wasn't much different once he evolved into a Decidueye and most of the time, the ghosts are lonely and are trying to make friends in their own way. I think there's a entry on a particular pokemon that you might want to read one day." He called Mahi Mahi back and took the lead on the newly formed passage. "But first, this was a door way to somewhere and I think I know what it is."

He pointed to the + pattern and had Rotom take a picture, it jumped and showed the teenagers it matched with an identical pattern with the color of yellow. Leon smiled and pressed his hands together. "Sealed beyond a dotted door, a giant made from one of the elements of the land, slumbers. Crafted by and in the image of a Colossus, were titans of Rock, Ice, Metal, Electrons and Focused Crystals. The people knew not what they are, or who they are and sealed them away out of fear. Until a trainer with a more knowing heart, stumbled upon their tomb and awaken them. Wishing to show them the world they are apart of. I think we found one of those doors."

The Dex showed the face to be that of a golem of crystalized blue ice. It's body was that of an ice berg, it's arms were of giant gems. It's fingers matching in shape. It's legs looking like cones of solid ice and it's back had gems sticking out." It looked unlike any living thing the teenagers have seen from these pokemon and Sora lost his breath. "What are we about to meet?!" The Rotom showed a log. "Regice: The Iceburg Pokemon: Ice Type. This Pokémon's body is made of solid ice. It's said that Regice was born beneath thick ice in the ice age. With cold air that can reach temperatures as low as −328 degrees Fahrenheit, Regice instantly freezes any creature that approaches it." Leon continued his mystical tale. "This is one the legendary titans. Why is he here, I don't know. But this is a power that's beyond what a rookie trainer's able to fight."

He clapped his hands and closed his eyes nervously. "If we're going to capture him and figure out this mystery. We're going to need a plan." Riku groaned. "Come on, we fought things like him all the time!" Kairi gasped. "But if we beat him up after he's awaken, he'll get the wrong idea. Azu and the Seafarers could help us tire him out." She readied a fast call back while Leon called back his. "Since our lady has more experience fighting alongside pokemon and has discovered this chamber first." Sora understood. "Then this is her challenge! We'll just make sure no one butts in."

The girl left Azu out and took over the lead. "Once we have Regice come with us, we'll be able to uncover the rest of this mystery." The band entered and quickly felt a chill, Riku caught a stench of something and picked up the pace. "Something's going on in here!" The band hurried into a wide chamber with something on the other end, being cloaked in dark power, by a horned, yellow eyed totem. Leon froze in surprise as the Destiny Trio recognized what the totem is doing, stood together and brought about their blades, rushing at the thing at once, shattering it with one blow and causing the essence to fly away and coagulated into a Corrupter. The heartless pulsed the trio away and aimed it's claw, causing the pulsating mass to open, revealing something that caused Leon's eyes to twitch. It has the shape of the suspected Titan, Regice yet things were off. It's blue, crystal like body was of pure black, with an outer layer of frosty white and it's face glowed an + pattern of red dots that had white cores.

It glowed a black aura and the Rotom Phone flashed an exclamation mark.

"A Shadow Pokemon!"

Leon's heart skipped a beat and went for his pocket, Sora turned around to see that horrified look. "Leon, what's happened to Regice?" The boy gave the sound of a heavy breath. "That thing's done something to his heart! We need to get him away from it, now!"

Regice's eyes glowed bright red and flashed in a pattern, repeating a phrase over and over. It charged an orb of black ice and fired at the four, Sora and Riku rolled towards the Corrupter as Leon, Kairi and a charging Azu were face to face with the ice golem. The Corrupter looked upon Leon and raised hands to call upon black electrical spiked pillars, the boy ducked and rolled forward as Regice focused on the busy teenage boys and charged a dark storm. Leon tensed and tossed a ball. "Oh no you don't! K'ui, wide guard and charge!"

POP!

The Crabrawler was sent out and saw the titan spin a blast, he leaped after it and flexed a barrier that caused the energy to deflect wide, Azu sprinted after the Regice and kept it busy with play rough while the Princess guessed. "There's a change of plans?" Leon puffed his cheeks. "Mostly; you, me, Azu and K'ui will keep Regice busy and catch him!" The Corrupter tried to fire a spell and was giving a spear charge by Sora. "The other two are better equipped to deal with the monster!" Riku glimmered in morning light and made a light dash to the flank of the creature before giving a battle cry and cleaving in.

Regice stepped back and fired a dark lightning bolt at the Azumarril, sending her rolling back in a twitch. Kairi cringed. "Azu!" Leon gave a fast toss to let out Kilokilo, who was showing a stoic frown and an aura of gleam. "I'll explain later, after we catch this Regice! Kilokilo, cover for Azu and give Regice a nuzzle! K'ui, drain punch!" The Crabominable leaped after the ice titan and gave a square punch to the side, sending it into a spin. Kairi gave Azu a fast heal and woke her up. "You heard him, let's get him!" Azu rolled to her feet, conjured a light screen and joined with Kairi to rush at the Regice and lock it into a rough combo. The Corrupter interrupted that with a raised spike pillar that sent them and the Titan a ways, it followed with another spell and Sora used the chance to flow to that platform and spark in light. "Over here, freak!"

PEW!

He charged at the heartless and shoved it to a far corner of the chamber before cleaving wide and giving Riku an opening for a purple flame blast. Kilokilo floated to the side of the pillar and tackled the recovering titan, sending out a fast spark that left it paralyzed and screeching. Kairi had a clap and asked the youngster. "Hey, what exactly is this pokemon weak too that won't put him in bad shape?" Leon watched K'ui rush after the titan and advised. "Regice is sturdy in either the defense or special defense, but he's very slow and his physical defense is weaker in comparison. He's also an ice type, they have a lot of weakness and a fighting move is one of them. Does Shooter know aura sphere?" Kairi gasped as Azu gave Regice a round of play rough and was blasted away in ice, she gave a fast switch. "Azu, come back!" Fling! "Shooter, we need your help!" Pop! Shooter was let out and saw a whole chamber going into chaos, he aimed at the titan that smacked away K'ui and Kilokilo, giving off a great glow before blasting it and gaining attention.

Regice hovered mid air and blitz in a surprising burst of speed. The humans and Clawitzer went out of the way and watched the titan twitch in place. The Corrupter looked busy at the moment, but will be a nuisance if allowed to attack again.

Glimmer!

Leon caught something in the corner of his eye, a light of crystal, shining against the darkness. He signaled fast. "K'ui, Kilokilo, cover me!" The pokemon were on it as the Corrupter sensed something amiss and caught it's grip on a wall, sinking into the ground to avoid a double light slash from the boys. Sora noticed Leon hurrying to a cluster of crystal as Riku watched a shadow noticing the boy sprinting after it. They had a heart skip a beat and flew to intercept. Leon turned to get a view of a strange shadow and side stepped around a raised pillar, the Corrupter followed with a fast spillage of a demonic tide to stop the boy.

GLIMMER!

Ryryryyyy! BLAST! Stellar light flew out of the crystal and blasted the tide back into shadows, Leon reached the cluster and searched fast. "Come on, there's got to be-" He looked at the cluster and found it reflecting at an image, of the dream ball in his belt. The boy reached for it without hesitation and turned fast at the Corrupter that tried to get a flank at the astonished boys. "Pō, we need your help!" The voice cracked, hoping the group understands. Fling! BURST!

Out of the ball came a mist of dreams and the terrifying in person, Galarian Moltres that flew to battle, the crystal cluster fired a star at the heartless and forced it to retreat as the bird was shaking himself and looked to the humans in a rough one. He turned to a corrupted Regice in a black aura and squawked. (WHAT?!) The Regice turned at the Moltres and fired a dark beam, Leon ordered. "Dodge that" the Moltres did so "and help the guys out! You'll know what to do!"

The bird looked over to a duo that were taking a step back and saw a dark entity making for a back attack. He gave it a glare and fired a flamethrower, sending it flying backwards. He followed with an ascent to the ceiling and cawed. (YOU DID THIS?!)

His aura turned dark red and he roared out to blast the Corrupter, smashing it into the earth and giving Sora a moment to catch his breath, he charged at the heartless for a follow up as Riku picked up the scent of the rage and give a battle cry, warping in a pillar and ganging up on the exposed foe. Kairi saw that as a chance to have Shooter fire at the Regice and follow with a barrage of stars, K'ui closed in on the golem for a wide guard protect as Kilokilo giggled, half turned her head to her trainer and point her true hand at the crystal.

Leon turned to a crystal giving off a glow and reached for it, grabbing onto a hexagonal shape and in a flash, making the cluster burst out into something the boy has a grip on. Leon turned to the Corrupter that was in a losing battle and tossed, the cluster looked something a kin to a disk, condensing into the thickness of a turtle shell. The Corrupter sank into the ground and burst into a cluster of tentacles, not aware of the sudden shine that closed in and let loose a rapid spin. In a flicker, the disk revealed a form of a indigo crystal turtle, with fur covering the hands and head and a stream of fur for a tail, resembling that of blue glowing feathers. The shell was something of an otherworldly shine, having symbols taking on shifting shapes, in the center was a crystal fitting the fur.

He gave a cry to the infuriated Moltres and burst a glimmer of light upon him, Pō was astonished by the burst and was encased in a crystal of fiery red. The crystal shattered into a scatter of reflections to the great bird that has a medal symbolizing flames. It gave off an inferno as Pō used that chance to scorch the Corrupter and leave it at the mercy of the boys, he turned to the Regice that crackled itself into a shock of an aura and made a charge for it. Regice gave a blitz for the bird and sent him into a spin, landing on the other side of the chamber and aiming at Kairi and Leon. The Princess and her pistol shrimp disappeared in a glimmer and appeared around the golem, blasting fast and disappearing to do it all over again. Leon gave a roll to dodge the blast of dark ice and commanded. "Finish that Corrupter off and we can focus on rescuing Regice, it's getting desperate!"

The Moltres ascended high as the strange turtle rolled up and spin side ways, resembling something angelic as the boys stood side by side and leaped high to reach the bird. They sprouted glorious wings that let loose a glow of stars that complimented the aura of wrath, the turtle floated before them and gave off a burst that resembles a sun going super nova, the dark fire washed over the Corrupter as the stellar light vaporized it to nothing.

The boys landed in a back flip towards a youngster catching up as the Moltres flew down to his fellow pokemon and faced the titan in a losing battle. The turtle turned to shield the Princess and her companion, right as they unleashed an aura blast and back flipped. Leon readied a timer ball and Riku signaled he wait. "Hold it!" The Regice let loose another crackle of dark power, the surroundings gave off a purplish red mist. Riku tensed. "That thing's not letting him stop! Leon, we got a moment before something happens, what is happening to Regice?"

Leon readied to answer as the mist turned into bolts of energy and rushed at the golem, he eeked. "The thing that was planted there, it was getting into the confines of Regice's heart and was sealing it away from the rest of his psyche. Replacing what's in there with so much anger and violence that it's going to attack everyone around it unless we keep him in a ball." Sora nearly stepped back in surprise. "That's what a Shadow Pokemon is!? It's a pokemon that had it's heart stolen?" Leon nodded. "And now that we took out the controller, Regice is acting on his own. But the surroundings got caked in with a phenomenon I've heard about. Dynamax!" RUMBLE! The Regice began to grow and cause the cave to break apart. "He's growing big!" He gave a fast order. "Kilokilo, cover Riku and focus on paralyzing Regice again! K'ui, once Sora gives that hit, we'll give Regice a little Z Power! Pō, get ready with nasty plot and use that tera boosted flamethrower when it's right!"

CRUMBLE!

The Regice's growth reached a burst, smashing it to the head of the chamber and breaking it away, dark power flew out to scatter the rest into the surrounding sea and cloak the sky in a black storm.

Kilokilo and K'ui went to their positions as Shooter bubbled in terror, Kairi looked at the turtle that kept that radiant glow and thought of something. "Hey, cover us if Regice tries anything!" The turtle closed his eyes and let loose a pulse of crystallizing water, washing over the battle wounds as the golem looked down upon the adventurers and gave off a deep rumble of a tundra. Aiming both hands at the band and firing a blast of dark power, the Turtle curled up into a shield and let loose a crystal barrier, taking the blunt of the blast that flew up to the sky and caused it to rain white. Pelting both human and pokemon alike. Riku was ready to lead a frontal assault when in the blink of an eye, a heat wave blasted the Regice from above, Pilikia made for a fast rescue as the Poipole kept close by and hid. The older boy had an idea. "Poipole fighting this guy head on is a bad idea, just cheer for us with that helping hand, we can use the boost!"

The Poipole was on it and gave a cheer to the Naganadel that readied a frontal barrage, the Turtle gave a gleam of that strange power and caused him to crystalize into a purple hue, having a medal with the symbol of poison. Leon had a change of plan and looked over to the Hatterene. "Pilikia, help Riku get to a higher ground!" The Naganadel let the older boy jump on and ascend as Sora and K'ui gave a charge to the Regice's leg, striking as one to distract it while Pō had a thought of violence and flapped out power. Kairi and Shooter kept side to side, disappeared into light once more and went for the face to unleash that barrage.

Riku focused and unleashed a barrage of light projectiles as Pilikia let loose a mighty sludge bomb. The Regice spun a dark storm to shake the lot off and was given an intense blast of fire from Pō while Kilokilo gave a sneaky nuzzle of paralysis. Sora back flipped to gain even grounds as Leon shined his Z Power Ring and switched a firium z for a fightinium z. "Alright, this can shut him down! Give me one second!"

The teenager hovered mid air, channeled light from his blade and fired a burst that turned into many beams, pelting the Regice and giving Leon time to place the crystal in and cross his arms. He punched the air and radiated light. "Huya! Huya! Huya!" He punched forward and channeled that light to the Crabominable, the Regice halted it's movement and beeped mad as Leon ordered. "All out Pummeling!" The Crabominable bellowed and threw a fist of energy. "Pummel!" The another. "Pummel!" Then another, punching more rapidly with Leon. The youngster threw a particular one and screamed out with his partner, smashing a giant fist that crashed into the Regice and shoved it through the wall.

BURST! RIPPLE!

The Dynamax power burst and Regice trembled, shrinking down to normal size and keeping a hover in a last attempt to attack. Kairi saw Leon was about to fall and took a timer ball, giving a hearty throw and screaming. "HIYA!" Fling! Tap! The ball gave a roll and landed on the side. Shake... shake... shake... click!

With that, the Regice was captured. Leon fell to his knees and looked on in disbelief, Pō and Pilikia's crystal power glimmered away as they and the ground bound pokemon notice their partner falling and hurried to him. The Turtle gave a glimmer and disappeared in mystery as Shooter looked relieved to be alive. (That was havoc!) Kairi blew out, picked up the ball and looked over to the tired out boys. Riku was trying to make sense of the mysterious turtle as Sora hurried to get Leon up. "Hey, are you okay? That was a lot?"

The youngster put a hand to his chest. "Yeah, yeah! I just used a lot of Z Power right at the moment. Now we got to figure out how we're going to help Regice." Riku was out of his trance and barked. "Hold it! Where did you learn about that?!" Leon looked to an aura not too different from the Moltres that closed his eyes in a cringe. He reached for the bird's head and nuzzled him. "It's okay, it's okay."

He looked the oldest boy, more determined. "We need to get back to the Island, I'll tell you there." Kairi looked to the duo and then to the Hatterene gasped to an idea. "It's what those people did to Kilokilo and Pō, wasn't it?"

Leon closed his eyes and nodded, he tilt his head to the Hatterene and asked. "And the most important thing to help him, that I know of, isn't around. But we might still have a way. All that talk about hearts and those keys gave me an idea."

At the Train Station in Twilight Town.

The group felt refreshed after a hearty refreshment and Xion saw the Twilight Town Trio take off with the task at hand. Ken and Daphne looked up to the Solgaleo, holding the Wayfinders on his back. The boy with the sock hand asked the girl once more. "So you're saying this guy is made up of the light used to travel between worlds and could make for a faster Gummi ship in a pinch?"

Daphne waved a hand like it was a theory. "It's a good guess for the worlds that are close by. There's a ton of places in Ultra Space, from the Wilds, to any of the worlds an Ultra Beast would live in and even parallel worlds where you meet very similar people. I don't know if it gets that crazy, but I think if someone syncs their minds with him, he'll pin point that world in no time."

Aqua imagined. "For all we know, we'll be ahead of you guys if something's going on. You'll know if a crisis is afoot." Xion hurried back as Ken vowed. "And we'll be fast, even without a ride!"

The Master counted on that and tapped the back of Solgaleo's head, the lion glowed a third eye as the keybearer aimed high, they burst open a glimmering keyhole. Ven was about to cheer at something astounding as Terra was mentally blown away. Aqua commanded. "Now, to Traverse!" The lion leaped to the rift and rushed through, leaving it to close behind. Toot! Toot!

Ken signaled. "Alright, let's handle the slowest part of this!" He, Oshawott and the ladies hurried to the station and got on board the train. They gathered for a seat and waited for the normally speedy route through a particular world. Daphne thought to spend time by asking the strange boy. "So, are you excited to have some partners with ya? The way you handled Cyclizar was nothing short of sweet."

Ken shrugged. "Can't just leave these guys to fend for themselves. But what they pulled is pretty amazing. It just so happens that any range combat is my specialty. Short range, long range and if someone's at my face, I can get back into that position in no time." He smirked to the confident Oshawott. "Which happens to be what this guy is good for."

Xion blushed to the boy. "And having a couple of kids like that around will help keep you from being a soldier." Daphne hmmed. "I've heard that a war happened. You were in the front lines or something?" Ken cringed. "I kept wandering of and getting myself into big enough things that the fate of the worlds were in my hands. I went into a space ship full of crazy people and dudes you'd call monsters, had to fend for myself when getting an important item away from the enemy, got into too many narrow corners than I want to count and all of it, while the Dark Seekers saw me as a weak link to twist around."

Xion admitted for him. "It got really bad once the war reached the peak and a demon used his body and skills to kick start the end point." Ken nodded. "All the more, Miss and Ven rescued a friend who was body and heart jacked for ten years. You never heard this. I've been trying to get some normalcy for a couple days and thought to help Terra out. We've expected that crook to come around and make trouble, him or this witch, but not this soon." He smiled wide. "Thanks for messing him up."

The Oshawott was amazed by the feats and Daphne closed her eyes and nodded her head. "It's not a problem. With some luck, those friends of yours might help make the trip more of a camping kind than a mission." The train started to move and zip through the place between space. Ken asked his fellow keybearer. "I've heard right and you found a Voltorb that looked and acted like that dream buddy we've met. Do you think it's Volty?"

Xion sighed. "I know it's him, but he's just doing such a bad job at hiding it. Having four pokemon at the ready feels really nice." She explained to the young girl. "Dreams work a little differently to where there's someone living on that side. A brother of mine works over there with Rabbit that helps monitor them. It might make more sense once you see the Kings Town." Daphne wasn't complaining. "It's no wonder if you were that quick to make friends with the pokemon if it's what I think it is."

Tooot!

The Train made it's fast stop to a town under construction, Daphne had a peak at the steam punk works and the castle in the center, seeing relatively normal people. "Hmm. This isn't that town."

Ken shook his head. "Nope, but it's my home town, use to be called Radiant Garden... before the crook and his buddy ruined it all." Xion admitted. "Ken lets me stay over at his moms when I'm not at Master Aqua's place." The boy hesitated to speak more. "There is a few strange ones who come from time to time, but most of them take it to the town we're heading in. There's a wizard here that helps us a ton and that would have been a first clue for you." He looked out the window again and saw nothing was off. "I also think that might be the reason this is going to be town number 3 in this clean up gig. The people here are use to that and might be handling most of the pokemon right now. We just can't go out there and look right now."

Daphne imagined. "I'll also say, at the best of luck, the wormhole won't drop anything at all and close up on it's own. It could be the luckiest around here." Jingle! There was a sound of a coin and the four looked to the door, swearing there was someone that came in. The door made it's close and the train readied to take off. Ken relaxed and asked the young girl. "If there's any trouble in the next town, the one I grew up in, that would be a good que that Miss and the others are at the spot too. The moment we see that, we're getting our speedsters out and book it. Is this Wawae guy going to be as big an impressive as you're making it sound?"

Daphne showed her teeth. "Only as amazing as a legendary pokemon ought to be. He's also built for charging right at em, I hope Cyclizar's packing it too." She had her Rotom give a scan and showed it. Ken saw the words. "Rapid spin, taunt, breaking swipe and knock off? With that kind of speed?" He winked to the girl. "Yeah, we're totally going to ram that trouble head first, aren't we?"

Xion waved a promise. "When you got me and Oshawott, all you got to do is drive and fly shot gun." She aimed a finger and made a cute pew pew while the boy inhaled through his nose and breathed out smoke to make a point. Daphne's eyes widen and she stepped out of the seat. "Woah, woah, woah! How the heck do you do that?" Ken answered proudly. "Old Pyromancy that draws upon the body as the catalyst. There have been people who were scared of me, most of the time it's their own fault." Oshawott shook his head. (And I thought I'm with a normal one.)

Daphne took a deep breath and had a bit of a craze in her gaze. "I'll bet that's a reason that crook kept far, far away from the town. Once you get some cred, you'll be the biggest baddest dude for miles on end." She crossed her arms in glee and earned a laugh, right as the train went into the space in between. Ken let Oshawott on his back and lead a formation to the door. The train darkened from the outside of the world it entered, one in perpetual starlight. Daphne was taken aback and had a look at the architecture resembling a particular region at night. "Woah, night bound Galar! This going to a ride."

The girl noticed something going on with the lamp posts and lights, flickering on and off rapidly. "Hoo boy, does this town have a power plant? Because if it does, you and Oshawott might want to be careful." From the times exploring Traverse, Ken and Xion have seen one at the back corner of at the far east of the green house. The black haired girl guessed. "We have some electric pokemon that headed over to a place to call home?" Ken tilt his head to her. "Not a bad on thing on paper, this Town is meant to have a home for anyone who doesn't have a place to go. But-" Daphne finished. "a lot of electrical pokemon, feed off of electricity. Enough of them at a power plant will cause mass black outs by themselves."

Ken declared. "And if we have something like what Ven described, we're going to be for a lot worse. This speeds up the plan, the moment we step out, we're going to bring our rides. Daphne, you need a saddle or anything?" The girl shook her head. "Not needed with this suit. But thank you for the kind offer."

The door slid open and the three stepped out to find the black outs bringing things into complete chaos. Ken sent out Cyclizar, who was completely astonished of the sights. The boy called upon Night Sky and had it transform into a biker set. "Ride form! GO!"

The Cyclizar positioned into that stand as Oshawott noticed two ladies keeping a stand against the growing havoc. One is a blonde woman with light green eyes, two strands of hair standing up like antennas, a blue, well kept shirt and a pair of black pants. Having a small fuzzy, yellow, blue eyed tick on her head. The other was a orange haired woman with green eyes, two pig tails tried down, a white dress with black ribbons and a plump, pink, cat eared fairy with a curled tail and butterfly like wings. Ken felt a strange spike of darkness and watched the ladies keep back to back, the blonde woman sent out a spikey, electrical, yellow and green keyblade, the orange head sent out a blade very resembling Nightsky, if without the darker details. The tick gave off a jolt of electricity as the fairy wiggled her fingers in a dance. The blonde woman warned her company. "Be careful Litzy, we got something coming!"

Ken tapped his gauntlet to armor up as Daphne whistled. "Hey, is this black out recent?" The orange haired woman turned to the noise and realized just by looking at the two pokemon. "Hey look at that Elery, the other places are having this problem too!" Elery turned fast and almost leaped. "Wha-" She recognized Xion and the boy armoring himself up. "You guys?!" She squinted her eyes at the strange one. "And who's this kid?"

Daphne showed a fast ball and opened it, unleashing an orange, spike feathered, flightless bird with a long black beak. He gave a great caw as Ken introduced. "Elrena, Litzia, this is Daphne and I think her ride, Wawae!" He showed the nervous looking Oshawott and the anxious Cyclizar. "Oshawott and Cyclizar are with me, we're going to head straight to the Power Plant and take care of the pokemon causing that. Daphne's one of the few people who's been telling us what the heck is going on."

Daphne waved and guessed. "And I don't think those electric types are the only ones making noise. Keep Joltik and Clefairy with you, they'll be a real help!" SPARK! PEW! At a sudden, lamp post glowed dark in electricity and shot a bolt at the girl. Xion flowed in the way and deflected the blast, sending it flying back as an electrical horned heartless that burst into loose wires.

Then came more of them. Ken sat on Cyclizar and put his left hand on the handle, while using his right hand to conjure a fire ball. Daphne kept to the rear flank and watched Oshawott get on the boys back and ready his shell. "Wawae, smash these monsters with a thunderous kick!" Xion gave a twirl and sent out the bouncy Voltorb. "Come on Volty, let's break this wave!"

Elrena appreciated the variety and rushed at a pack in lighting speed, the Joltik cleaned on and made the noise of a struggling bug to dim down the intensity. Wawae crackled in power, leaped high in the air and crashed upon part of the rear as a bolt as Volty followed with a fast energy ball. Litzia conjured fast stars as Clefairy let loose a disarming voice to disrupt the flank blocking the way to the green house. Ken hurled a swirling fire ball at the flank and made an explosion as Oshawott sliced a straggler with an air slash. He tapped Cyclizar's hip. "CHARGE EM!" The lizard gave a sprint after the flank and Ken conjured a fan of flames. "And breaking swipe!"

The Cyclizar gave a forward swipe and spun, giving Ken momentum to slash through, Oshawott was getting dizzy and spat water as a loose projectile. Xion lowered herself like a wolf and sprinted to the rear flank, smashing a conductor in the skull and slashing wide to clear as many in one sweep. Volty tossed a seed at a straggler keeping far, it sprouted into vines and sapped bit by bit. Wawae rushed at it and kicked it to the ground with fire before back flipping and cawing for a challenge. (Is this the most it can do? Pathetic!) Daphne tossed out a heal ball and cheered. "Ola'ola, give a quivering dance and dazzle, dazzle, dazzle!" Out came a Ribombee that was confused by the town, saw the heartless outbreak and flew to the sky with a glimmer, turning into a cluster of light orbs that bombarded the swarm. It wasn't long until the ways were clear, but the lights were still in complete havoc.

Elrena spotted a rear wave of regular shadows and called. "Incoming!" She looked to the boy about to toss a fire ball like one a basketball. "I think we got this, guess Joltik and Clefairy can be a help!" The Clefairy waddled over by her as Litizia gave a flip and wiggled a finger, becoming the center of attention along with the Clefairy. "Bet you all can't catch me!"

Daphne had Wawae come to her. "We'll work out the details later, Wawae, we got a big fight over at the Power Plant, I need to get on you!" The bird leaped to her and lowered himself so the girl can jump on. Xion picked up Volty and made a leap to Ken and Cyclizar, the boy scooted forward to fit her and the Voltorb gave a green glow of menace. The Zapdos hurried by the lizard as Xion asked. "We'll take care of the source, just hold on for a while longer!"

Ken cooled his hand and grabbed onto the handles. "We ride!" The steeds zipped down the path at a record speed, leaving the ladies to face the dark forces. Elrena looked up to the timid Joltix and gave her a finger pet on the head. "These punks got nothing on us!" The Joltik gave a buzz and a crackle as Litiza was keen on what she observed. "Laury's going to get his answers once he wakes up from that skunk attack! Now, a one, two, three, four.

At the other side of the Town.

Ripple! RWOAR!

A keyhole of light burst above the street way and let forth the Lion of the Sunne, he gained a sense of his surroundings and found a scuffle by a power plant. A woman and her griffon, fighting against an outbreak of electrical heartless. Along side her was a purple, hippo like alien with pink palms, a pink face and a white lab coat. He was accompanied by two creatures of blue and yellow, the scientist and the blue fur alien were firing blasters at the foes while the yellow creature crackled in lightning and zipped through a cluster, cackling like a madman.

The band were protecting a small band of creatures, an orange mouse with a lightning bolt at the tip of a long tail, a yellow corgi and a yellow lizard that was fighting back with a hyper voice. The lion landed close by and brought the attention of the woman in a suit of armor. "Well, I'll be."

Aqua was the first to jump off, getting over the rush for that sense of duty, followed by Ven, who looked like he gone into a ride that's sensation could only be felt once. Then Terra who was shaking off the rush. Aqua hurried to the general as the man of the group was picking up a stink within the facility. "Mayor Wanda, what's going on?" Stalwing gave a particular heartless a brutal peck as the woman point her thumb to the flickering, out of control lights. "Somethings infected the Power Plant and is turning every street light and housing into a hazard zone! If we can pluck that thing out of there, we can fix things back up again."

The scientist turned to her, showing four eyes where two should be. "Easier said than done, Governor." He stepped in between a Wire Sprite and the skittish orange mouse and shot the heartless with his laser gun.

The yellow lizard wiggled by the blue, koala like alien with four arms and tossed mud to make a marker. Ven recognized him first. "Stitch, what are you doing over here?" Stitch turned in surprise. "Ven?!"

PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW!

Terra recognize the scientist and drew his blade. "You!" The alien gasped with renewed hope. "Are my ears deceiving me?" He had a second look and laughed jolly, nearly wanting to go over and embrace him had there not been a crisis afoot. "Ah, Big Man with Keyblade! It's been too long!" PEW! He apologized after firing at the swarm. "Warm welcome later!" Aqua recalled a name. "Dr. Jumba? What are you of all people-" Solgaleo charged up in his celestial power, leaped to the air and made a dive at the cluster, obliterating them in sun light and rolling away to keep guard of a duo of pokemon that were scared out of their mind. Jumba was amazed by the blast. "Hahahahaha! Now that's a blast of destructive solar power!"

Wanda spoke fast. "We only got a few moments before more of them come out in stronger numbers. Would any of you care to ask him what he's been doing around here?" Aqua reported gladly. "Mayor Wanda, Dr. Jumba was last seen as a prisoner by a Galactic Federation for the kind of experiments he conducts." She had a look at what she recognizes as a timid Raichu, a defensive Yamper and a defensive Helioptile. "And I think I know where this is going."

Jumba called to the electrical creature, resembling a kind of lizard with sparkling antenna's. "221 and I, laid low after long awaited parole. We found town, recently being colonized and made our way in." He pointed over to the sky. "Found big holes dumping specimens that would be useful for an experiment." Ven guessed by the electric types. "and these guys were making a home at a power plant when you found them?"

The Power Plant pulsated and the door slithered in dark vines as Jumba went in a hurry. "They and 221 share same properties and will cause unimaginable chaos with all this electricity. This big guy, with two wire tails, can absorb electricity and enhance his agility!" Ven figured out the rest. "But before you could even start, some totem showed up and caused all this to happen?"

Stitch grunted to that and the Professor nodded to him. "Then 626 found his way here right as conductor erected itself from earth. Big guy smashed it and it loose black energy, he called for an evacuation. So to speak." Ven cringed and readied a ball. "He's still in there!"

The tentacles crackled electricity and the boy let out the Porygon right as Solgaleo glowed in psychic power and unleashed a blast to clear the growth. Pop! Terra heard a noise from his belt and looked down to find Teddiursa seeing the chaos, she cringed and made a brave dash to it, the man flinched and made a bull rush. Aqua let out Stantler and jumped on. "Well, that's all the talk time we have!" She conjured Stormfall and ordered. "Charge!" Stantler galloped in with her as Porygon beeped and made a strange slide to danger, Ven asked the blue alien. "Want to come along?" The alien blabbered a yes and curled up into a ball to roll in as Jumba and 221 made a sprint. "No one takes electrical specimens but me!" Wanda signaled. "Stalwing and I will keep these little ones safe!" She ordered the rash Helioptile. "Let the experts handle the dangerous part!" The lizard turned to give a whine as Ven and Stitch followed the Porygon in.

With in a power plant that is choking in dark vines, Teddiursa made that sprint and found a cluster on an upper ledge in the far lobby room, blocking a door way she readied her claws in determination as the cluster shoot out. The bear comically, fumbled left.

CLEAVE!

Terra rushed in and brought about a bronze blade resembling a claymore, flipping over and cleaving the branch to where it was severed in one blow. Teddiursa gave a cheer as the grown up ordered. "Stay behind me and don't attack without my call!" The bear hurried eagerly as a deer rushed in with a combo of psychic energy and crystal magic, ripping into the cluttered bramble and making it splinter. Porygon floated in and unfliped to analyze the danger. Giving off a glow and converting itself into an electric type. (Defensive type, recommended.)

The branch cluster sank roots into the side and caused brambles to erupt at the side, raising up to bring about a swarm of shadows. Fling! ZAP! A jolt of electricity rushed into the right cluster and unleashed a discharge of chaos, while blasters fired at the left. "This is my testing site!" PEW! PEW! "MINE!"

A blue fur ball barred at the left flank and uncured, Stitch spun in a carefree dance and use his laser guns to cause mass damage. Ven entered last and quickly spotted the branch cluster making for the intruders, he leaped over and gave wind fast cuts, for each mid air back flip, Porygon followed with a trusty ice beam.

Teddiursa saw a cluster and pointed onward. (There's the big one! If we take it out we can push back!) Aqua noticed and ordered her partner. "Stantler, give it a leer and those two can mess it up!"

The deer gave it a glare as Terra made a glide for the center, the vines punched forward and forced the grown up into a brawl as Teddiursa hurried and leaped in between the vines. She lunged at it and engage in close combat, breaking it apart and causing the vines Ven and Porygon were dealing with to fall limp and dissolve into darkness. The bear readied her claws and followed with a fury swipe, causing the vines blocking Terra out to weaken enough to get slashed through. The man aimed his blade and fired boulders in a bombardment, Teddiursa made a run for it as Aqua hurried forward and spun her blade to form crystal missiles at the center.

Ven glowed his blade in divine light and zipped for a slash, bringing the surrounding debris to a complete collapse. Porygon swooped down to Stitch and let him have a ride before tackling the center in foul play and giving the alien the chance to grab the root,yanked it off and toss it over. Ven back flipped and dived down to impale the cluster and make it burst into light.

At that sudden, a swarm of horned shadows crawled in and readied tentacles while a hall way of thickening vines opened. Suddenly, a rev like cry was heard from behind, Aqua turned half way to find a Cyclizar galloping. With two youngsters at the back, Ken noticed the passage is big enough to fit two steeds. "Over there, we got to squeeze in, but the force ought to do it!" ZIP!

Right by the Cyclizar was the Galarian Zapdos, sprinting with crackling power and making a sharp leap. Ken tapped his legs at the lizards hip and have him make a great leap as a way to catch up. Daphne kept to the back of Wawae and signaled he wait. "As soon as they get here, let's get a little brave!" The Zapdos stomped his foot in preparation as the Cyclizar landed over the ledge and kept the sprint. Wawae let loose a gust of air and charged as Ken swiped a hand repeatedly, tossing fire balls in rapid succession. Xion and Oshawot kept to the great guard and unleashed slashes of light and air to keep the side vines from trying anything.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! LEAP!

Cyclizar and Wawae leaped over a ledge at the end of the hall way and made a slide of a halt towards a room with what is clearly a generator, finding a Corrupter pulsating in power and chaining up a man sized yellow yeti with black electrical looking stripes, two tesla bulb antennas and two black tails resembling open wires. The entity looked at the band sadistically and shot the chains around the creature that was screaming and struggling. Thud! Daphne readied a ball. "Oh boy, an Electivire!" Xion guessed. "Stronger pokemon than we're ready for?"

Daphne tilt her head side ways. "For your pokemon, yeah." She gave a toss to let out a green lizard with a fern for a tail and yellow seeds on his back. "Let's go Mo'o, we got something ugly!"

The Lizard stood up relaxed as the entity had an expression of hate, the Electivire got up fast and sparked his fists to give it a punch, only for the dark chains to wrap around his chest and form a lock resembling a horned face. Purple power pulsed around the Electivire and made him scream out, the Corrupter aimed a hand and caused the electric type to lunge after the group. Wawae and Cyclizar made the jump, the bird and Sceptile kept around the electric type as Cyclizar was close by the entity. Daphne tapped a bracelet and caused a reaction to a necklace the Sceptile was wearing. "Let's keep this fight away from the key kids!" She raised it high unleashed a mighty power. "Mega evolve into the lightning rod lizard! Mega Sceptile!"

Energy flowed into the Sceptile and made him transform, having longer wrist leaves, a longer tail resembling a harpoon ferns growing around the shoulders. The Corrupter gave the order to the darkening Electivire and forced him to fire a bolt at the Zapdos, Sceptile kept in the way and absorbed the bolt. Daphne smiled wide and pointed side ways to the entity, the Sceptile aimed his tail at the Corrupter and fired the fern harpoon, it burst into a leaf storm that swallowed it up and sliced it. Impressing Ken to say the least, Xion jumped off and lunged after the heartless, giving it mighty cleave that hurled it to the shadows.

It disappeared and caused a pool to open up and burst tide of lesser heartless. Ken hurled a fire ball at the cluster and with a twitch of his hand, caused the flames to turn into smaller fire balls that pelted the tide to a more manageable size. The Corrupter appeared behind the boy and made a claw swipe, Cyclizar turned fast to make a dodge as Xion felt the presence and turned around, she gave the fast order. "Volty, paralyze it!" She tossed a sparkly Voltorb that made contact with the creatures head and let loose a humble, if crippling shock. Oshawott took the chance for an air slash and force the creature into an intense flinch.

Ken reached to grab the Corrupter by the head and show a spark of fire. Grip! With the head in the grip, Ken closed his eyes and unleashed a point blank explosion that caused the entity to reel back and cover it's face. "Break it!"

Cyclizar gave a fast breaking swipe and sprinted away fast, Volty fired a fast energy ball as Oshawott squirted a fast water gun in combo. The Corrupter was pushed back from the repeated blasts and tried to make an escape and the Electrivire was forced into a blitz at the keybearers, only to be intercepted by Wawae, who gave a firm kick to push him into a flip. Xion crouched low and flowed to the Cyclizar, taking a light step before lunging at the heartless and cleaving it in two. The Electivire made an attempt to yank the chain off and it radiated a horrific glow, he stomped and wailed as Daphne wasn't sure on what to do. "That thing's still on him, how are we going to get it off without hurting him."

Ken jumped off of the Cyclizar and called the biker gear back into Night Sky. He gave a look to the lock with a keyhole and pointed. "That! If we unlock the bindings, he'll stop!" Xion flipped and turned while Volty gave a fast roll to the Electivire, the girl gasped. "Got it covered! Volty, leech seed!"

The Voltorb fired out from a hole on his head as Ken sprinted after Electivire and gave a light, if glimmering, blow, the foe aimed his tails and fired a point blank zap. Ken puffed smoke and appeared behind the pokemon in a dodge, allowing the seed to collide and sprout plants that sapped away. The electric type forced out a black aura and blew a mighty storm that sent Ken flying, unaware of something dropping down from a ceiling. A purple goblin with gem eyes and a ruby, sapphire and emerald on her back. She wore a crown of a particular stone and had a wide smile, she dropped down at the Electivire's face and gave a fake out clap, Xion saw that as her chance and sprinted close. She aimed her blade at the pokemon's chest and caused a light to shine into the darkness, she gave a turn and caused the bindings to unlock, freeing Electivire from the spell and making him fall to his knees.

The dark aura lessened and the generator began to burst a spark, Daphne cringed. "Crud, this thing needs to be turned off for a bit!" She looked up to find rails and the one at the right leading to a switch. "There's one!"

She sprinted at a ladder that was raised up and saw a Magneton descend down, using his magnets to pull the ladder to an easy grip. Daphne was careful about her fingers and called. "Hurl me up!"

The Magneton ascended to give the ladder a rise and Daphne used the force to leap up to the rail. She pushed up and sprinted to the switch, grabbing it and pushing down. The generator turned off and caused the outside world to dim. Daphne gave it a wait and powered Mo'o down as the Sableye used the darkness as a way to make a quick getaway. Daphne felt the air cool and pulled the plug back on. Causing the area to light up and the generator to work fine.

The girl smiled wide at a successful mission and waved to the Magneton. "Thanks for the help there! That Generator was going to blow if it wasn't turned off soon." The magnetic machine gave a beep and flew off to a window, Xion raised a finger in suspicion and remembered her lesson on shiny pokemon.

Ken smirked to the squad, especially at Cyclizar and Oshawott. "That's one problem solved, nice aim guys!" Cyclizar wagged his tail happily as Oshawott scratched the back of his head. (Shucks, all we did was follow to that movement.) At that moment, the Wayfinders, their pokemon, Jumba and the two aliens arrived to see the aftermath and of a fight that broke loose. Jumba gasped and hurried to the Electivire. "Vire Wire!"

The Electivire was coming through and pushed himself up to his hands and knees, Jumba helped him get up to his rear. "What has that thing done to you?" The sparkly lizard zipped around the Electivire to have a check around as Daphne climbed down and had the ladder fall to drop her to solid ground. "Is the town lighting up like normal? We had to run over so many of those monsters to get here."

Aqua reported fast. "We saw everything go black for a few minutes before the lights flickered on. Wanda came in and told us things are turning back on. Ven asked the journeymen. "Was that heartless trying to attack Electivire or something?" Daphne nodded. "Yeah, using chains to make him fight like something under a condition that's pretty confidential. Using a chain to try and lock away any control Electivire would have and setting him off in a rampage." Ven gasped. "Locking his heart away?"

Daphne cringed. "Eek! I thought I said it right! But yeah, the two key kids were able to break that chain before Electivire turned into a full Shadow Pokemon." Wawae gave a glare at where the Corrupter was and scoffed before going over to the Electivire and perching by him. Terra and Teddiursa looked to each other in surprise, the grown up waved a hand. "Hold on, a what now?"

Daphne put her hands to her hips, faced forward and raised a brow. "Something that can only be done when a scumbag wants to turn a pokemon into a weapon and don't care how badly they have to hurt it to get what they want. Now we really got to figure this out before another one of those things show up again."

Porygon tilt it's head and looked eye to eye with Stitch as Ven called for a time out. "Is this the time or place to be talking about that?" Daphne crossed her arms. "Nope! We need to start somewhere for any pokemon that isn't around this spot." She turned to Jumba and the Electivire. "But it looks like the towns people around here are able to get the right idea and show they care. We need to talk with who ever is in charge and set up a program. There's a spot over at the green house that gives me an idea."

Xion brought in a report. "Two ladies we know were fighting with some wild pokemon when we got here. Elrena and Litzia were with a... Joltik and Clefairy." Ken figured. "I guess they might have figured those pokemon out and took them in, this town is kind of like that."

Aqua laughed to her students and waved a hand. "That's good to hear, but we need to bring that scientist over to Wanda first. He didn't come here with good intentions, even if he did help us and the pokemon that were around here."

Ken stopped still in complete confusion as Xion had the idea and approached. Jumba was content and asked. "I over heard little girl's proposal. What idea is she planning?" The teenager shrugged. "She hasn't told us, but I think she's having the right idea. Are you willing to help us out?" Jumba shrugged. "Eh, now that I'm caught red handed, I'll be thinking of plan to lighten big trouble."
