"Alright Sceptile!" Ash cheered.

"You won't keep winning, no matter who you throw out I refuse to stop now!" Ghetsis proclaimed. "Now come out Drapion, use Poison Fang!"

"Sceptile use Dragon Claw!" Ash called out.

Sceptile rushed at Drapion, his arm getting crunched down on by Drapion's poison laced fangs before he could strike in retaliation.

"Sceptile use Quick Attack!"

"Drapion use X-Scissor!"

Sceptile rushed forward at Drapion only to get sliced across his body by the poison types pincers, sending him tumbling backwards.

"Sceptile use Night Slash!"

"Drapion use your own Night Slash!"

Drapion and Sceptile slashed at one another with incredible speed and force, both knocking against each other.

"I'm confused, clearly Sceptile isn't the best option, so why does Ash keep him out with this many heavy hitters on hand?" Rosa asked honestly.

"Because he doesn't know how many heavy hitters Ghetsis has." Elliot realized. "It's safer to chip away at Drapion's energy with Sceptile and then switch into someone else for the win than to switch right away."

"It's a risky strategy all things considered, but with the lead Ash has, he can take that kind of risk." Hugh mentioned.

"Sceptile use Leaf Blade!"

"Drapion use X-Scissor!"

Sceptile extended both blades on his arms, slashing at and countering against the pincers of Drapion, the four slices clashing in the center.

"Now Drapion use Poison Fang!"

Drapion extended his neck and head forward, chomping down on Sceptile's head, causing the grass type to drop down in defeat.

"Sceptile return!" Ash called out. "Now come on out Gliscor!"

"That's an interesting one." Hugh admitted.

"Gliscor use Giga Impact!"

"Drapion use Poison Fang!"

Gliscor leapt into the air, slamming down on Drapion and bouncing back into the air, avoiding Drapion's fangs.

"Glad to see you haven't forgotten your sky battle training!" Ash cheered. "Now use Stone Edge!"

"Drapion counter with Night Slash!"

Drapion sliced his tail back and forth, slicing through the stones being launched at them, easily avoiding the attack.

"Gliscor get in there and use Fire Fang!"

"Drapion Poison Fang now!"

Drapion and Gliscor launched at each other, baring their fangs before biting down on each other's tails, causing both to flinch in the recoil.

"Scorpion bat versus scorpion, well scorpion." Elliot said in surprise at the even matchup.

"Gliscor now while they're stuck, use Stone Edge!" Ash called out.

"Drapion get out of there with Night Slash!"

Drapion slashed their tail across Gliscor's body as stones jutted out from the ground, forcing the two Pokemon apart.

"Gliscor use X-Scissor!"

"Drapion counter with your own X-Scissor!"

Gliscor swooped down, slicing his claws against Drapion's own before flying back up.

"Come on Gliscor this guy has nothing on Paul's Drapion, show them true sky mastery with another Giga Impact!" Ash called out.

"Drapion stop them with a Night Slash into the ground!"

Gliscor dove head first straight at Drapion only for the poison-type stinger tail to slam Gliscor into the ground with great force.

"Who's Paul?" Rosa wondered.

"Guy from Sinnoh, apparently Ash had a lot of trouble with him." Hugh added, watching as Gliscor struggled to get up.

"Ash, come in, nod if you can hear me!" Virgil said over the comms.

Ash nodded, whilst grabbing Gliscor's Pokeball.

"Look just keep him occupied a bit longer, we have international police close to getting here." Virgil said.

"Okay, Gliscor return, you were great." Ash said, recalling the ground and flying type. "Heracross come on out!"

"Another bug, how futile." Ghetsis aid. "Drapion use Poison Fang!"

"Heracross use Mega Horn!" Ash called out.

Heracross rushed forward, his horn slamming into Drapion, knocking the wind out of the poison type as he shoved them back across the field.

"Drapion get up and use Earthquake!"

"Don't let up Heracross! Use Focus Punch!"

Heracross focused his energy, coming in for a landing before striking a powerful blow into Drapion once more causing the poison type to finally fall to the ground in defeat.

"Drapion return. Cofagrigus show them we still mean buisness." Ghetsis said, sending the ghost type back out.

"Round two, Heracross use Mega Horn!" Ash called out.

"Cofagrigus use Psychic!"

Heracross flew forward, his horn jamming in between the two doors of Cofagrigus before the bug type was thrown back by a psychic force.

"Heracross switch out! Pikachu we need some more power, use Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu switched back in, giving Heracross a break before he sent out a bolt of electricity against the ghost type.

"Cofagrigus use Toxic!"

"Pikachu dodge it with Quick Attack!"

Pikachu sped away from the poisonous attack, moving across the field with great speed.

"Pikachu use Iron Tail!"

"Cofagrigus use Shadow Ball!"

Pikachu readied his tail, leaping at Cofagrigus as he was hit by a ball of shadowy force, knocking him backwards.

"Pikachu use another Thunderbolt!"

"Cofagrigus use Shadow Ball!"

Pikachu landed back on all four paws, quickly firing off a bolt of electricity at Cofagrigus, destroying the oncoming shadow ball and covering the ghost types physical form in sparks, causing them to shudder and fall to the ground.

"Cofagrigus return! Bisharp end them!" Ghetsis demanded.

"Come on, even you have to know we've beaten the stronger version of that already." Ash said cockily. "Pikachu use Charge Beam!"

Pikachu fired a beam of static electricity from his paws, striking into Bisharp's horn as the dark type rushed at him.

"Bisharp use Stone Edge!"

Bisharp slid across the field, digging one of his arm's blades into the ground, a wall of stones jutting out from the ground as he went, sending Pikachu flying into the air.

"Bisharp use Metal Burst!"

Bisharp spun on spot, clanging his blades together, shattering the jutting stones and launching them at Pikachu with Intense force, sending Pikachu tumbling back.

"Pikachu get out of there with Quick Attack!" Ash called out.

Pikachu rolled to a landing, running across the field back towards Ash to avoid Bisharp once more.

"Bisharp use Night Slash!"

"Snorlax take point!" Ash called out, the heavy weighted Pokemon Slamming onto the field with Bisharp's attack doing little other than bouncing off of his gut. "Now use Ice Punch!"

Snorlax reared his fist back, sending a single freezing punch right into Bisharp, sending them skidding back.

"Bisharp use X Scissor!"

"Snorlax counter with Hyper Beam!"

Snorlax opened his mouth wide, sending out a powerful blast of energy at the rushing Bisharp, engulfing the steel type in it.

"Bisharp use Stone Edge!"

Bisharp slammed both of their arm blades into the ground, sending cracks with sharp stones jutting out of them right at Snorlax, knocking the normal type onto his back as he was still recharging.

"Snorlax use Mega Punch!"

"Bisharp use Night Slash!"

Snorlax pushed himself back up, getting struck right back down by Bisharp.

"Alright, we tried, thanks for the distraction Snorlax. Heracross finish them!" Ash said, switching the Pokemon out instantly.

"Bisharp use Stone Edge!"

"Heracross use Focus Punch!"

Bisharp slammed their blades into the ground once more, stones jutting out of the ground, even managing to reach and catch up to Heracross, breaking his focus.

"Heracross try another Focus Punch!" Ash called out.

"Use Stone Edge!"

Bisharp tried to release their blades, getting stuck in the torn up arena just for a long enough moment to allow Heracross to land his punch right into Bisharp, sending the steel type tumbling backwards.

"Heracross keep it up with Mega Horn!"

"Bisharp get up and use Metal Burst!"

Bisharp stumbled to a stop, pushing themself back up only for Heracross to rush right at him, slamming his horn into one of the few weak points in their armor, sending them crashing into a wall.

"Enough! I refuse to lose to someone as pointless as you! You were not chosen by a dragon, the only reason I was here was for one of you to send out their dragon for fulfilling my own purposes! Hydreigon get back out here!"

"Ghetsis no!" Ash said in shock as the already fainted pseudo legendary was forced to re-enter the battle.

"Hydreigon use Dragon Rush!"

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Ash called out quickly.

Pikachu ran across the field, flipping off of Heracross's horn into the air, sending a bolt of electricity raining down on Hydreigon, stopping their attack from reaching Heracross or Ash.

"Hydreigon I command you! Get to them and fight!" Ghetsis called out, causing Hydreigon to turn towards the villain. "What are you doing! I am your master obey me and attack!" Ghetsis called out, as Hydreigon turned all three of it's head in agreement firing on their trainer, sending him tossed back.

"Okay, we might have a problem now." Ash said, only for Hydreigon to take off into the sky flying away.

"Coward!" Ghetsis said, bloody and battered.

"I wouldn't say that, he's the smart one, knowing when to quit." A man said, walking up with an army of officers. "Ghetsis Gropius you are officially under arrest for extortion, trafficking, and attempting to overthrow the government."

"Looker, am I glad to see you." Ash said, with a sigh of relief.

"It's been a while Ash." Looker said, placing cuffs on Ghetsis as his Croagunk took the villain away. "We've already got out agents across the region arresting any of the attacking members, we were filled in that some members truly believed in helping Pokemon without the idea of using them for nefarious purposes."

"So what will happen to them?" Ash asked, looking over to where N was.

"It will go on a case by case basis, but if you say he's good, I will take your word for him." Looker admitted.

"Yeah, he was misguided, but he really does only want whats best for the Pokemon, he only entered all of this because I pushed him to." Ash admitted.

"Very well, and let me be the first to say, congrats on your win." Looker commented, as he and the rest of the international Police gathered the remaining members of Team Plasma.

Authors Notes

Yes, I know it has been a long time, my schedule has gotten worse since the last chapter, but I finally had the urge and time to sit down and write/type a few chapters, hopefully we won't have another long break like this for a bit.
