[Present Day, The Huge Hall in the Aether Hideout]

"Ash!" Lawrence yelled, while shielding himself from Mewtwo's repeated Attacks. "Go! NOW! We'll be fine!" He added.

Lucifer's red Solgaleo landed next to Giovanni, before he got off of it.

"You--- I believe you failed the assignment---" Giovanni said to Lucifer, looking at Lusamine's unconscious body lying in the distance.

"I'm still on my job---" Lucifer replied, as he got ready to attack.

"LUCIFER!" Ash yelled. "You tried to kill Serena! You're gonna pay!" He added, angrily.

"You're DEAD MEAT!" Lucifer yelled, as he raised his arm towards Ash and shot a whole focused beam of red Arrows.

A few Arrows hit Nebby, making it scream loudly before it collapsed to the ground.

"And now---" Future Serena said, standing still as she waited for something.

Right before the remaining red Arrows reached Ash--- Suddenly, A huge Golden-colored Ring formed in front of Ash. A huge Pink-Colored Diamond emerged from the ring, which absorbed all of the arrows in it before disappearing.

"Huh?" Ash and Serena said, as they got up on their feet. Ash had Serena still in his arms. The Golden ring hovered in the air, and then shrunk in size to reveal a familiar face on the ring's opposite end.

"You will not hurt my friends!" Princess Diancie said, as she looked at Lucifer in an angry manner.

"It's Diancie!" Bonnie said with stars in her eyes as soon as she saw her old friend.

"What---? How---? What is that ring---?" Ash said, as he looked at the small golden ring hover in the air and then travel behind everyone.

Suddenly---

"Eheheheh!" A familiar voice came from behind Ash and the rest.

Everyone turned around, and looked at Hoopa hovering behind them, in it's confined form.

"Ash-kan! Were you surprised?" Hoopa said, giggling.

"Ah! It's Hoopa!" Ash said in a surprised manner. "How did Hoopa get here?" Serena said in a surprised manner as well.

"It must be Clemont and the others who told them---!" Serena said with widened eyes.

"What?! A Hoopa? What's that?!" Lucifer said in confusion, since he hadn't met Hoopa in his dimension. "Agh-- Whatever! Solgaleo! Use Zen Headbutt!" He added, ordering his Red Solgaleo.

Lucifer's red Solgaleo roared, as it's body glowed. It charged straight towards everyone.

"And to complete the trio---" Future Serena said, as she stood still.

Suddenly, High above in the air.

A voice came as something hurled straight down to earth at breakneck speed. It seemed to be like an orb covered with a veil of water.

The orb stopped glowing, as it's water veil split and revealed what was inside.

"Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!" Volcanion said as he used his launchers to steer himself straight towards Lucifer's Red Solgaleo.

*BOOM*

The ground trembled, as a small crater got formed from Volcanion's hit on Solgaleo.

Solgaleo got launched away and hit Lucifer. Lucifer got smacked away and smashed into the wall behind them. Lucifer's Red Solgaleo was out cold.

"What is that--- Pokemon---?" Giovanni said in a surprised manner, looking at the raw power of Volcanion.

"Save the act for the Circus, ya lousy dimwit!" Volcanion said, as he used his launchers to fly out of the crater and then slowly land on the ground next to Ash and the rest. "Thought you could start the party without me? I can blast em' all by my own!" Volcanion said to Hoopa and Diancie, getting ready to attack.

"You guys---" Ash said, looking at the three Pokemon.

"Eheheheh! Ash-Kan! Hoopa and friends handle bad guy! You go become Aura Mister!" Hoopa said to Ash.

"Wh-What?" Ash said, surprised.

"What do you mean?" Serena said.

"What is even happening?" Lillie said in a puzzled manner. Gladion just looked on silently, trying to connect the dots.

"We're here to help!" Diancie said.

Lucifer got back up on his feet, after taking a big blow.

"You think that a few Pokemon can defeat me---? Mewtwo! Use Swift!" Giovanni was saying, when Suddenly---

*Flash*

"Bi!" Celebi exclaimed, as she finished using her powers. Misty, May, Max, and Clemont got revealed as the flash ended. They were joined by some Pokemon Ash knew.

Mewtwo launched a series of stars aimed right towards everyone, when suddenly---

"Goood-Ra!" Goodra exclaimed as he shot a multicolored dragon-shaped energy straight towards Mewtwo's Swift attack, canceling it out completely.

"Ah! It's Goodra!" Ash said with a wide open mouth, looking towards his left where Goodra walked up and stood.

"Goodra-Gooo!" Goodra said to Ash in a cheerful manner.

Towards Ash's right---

"Prime-Ape-PRIME!" Primeape exclaimed, as he quickly came and stood beside his Trainer.

"AH! Primeape! You're here too!" Ash said in a surprised manner, looking at the Pokemon he had in training for nearly 7 years.

"Geeengar-- Geng!" Gengar exclaimed as it came and stood beside Ash as well.

"Wait--- Gengar---? Are you---?" Ash said in a surprised manner.

"Yeah, Ash---" Misty said from behind. "It's the Haunter you left with Sabrina at the Saffron City Gym all those years ago--- It wanted to come back to you!" She added.

"You're-- All here---" Ash said, looking at all of his Pokemon friends.

"Ash!" Future Serena said. "You have to go now!" She added, pointing at the portal she had opened up.

"But I wanted to Ask--" Serena was saying, when Suddenly---

"Just go already! We know the whole deal! Clemont told us everything!" Volcanion said, as he aimed his launchers towards Ash and Serena, launching a slow beam of water and blowing them away into the Portal.

Pikachu walked up to the portal, and looked back at everyone. "Pika-Pika!" He said, before running into the portal as it closed.

"Remember it like yesterday." Future Serena said in a lame manner.

Lawrence and Riley also joined everyone, looking at Lucifer and Giovanni in the distance. "Just a few moments--- They'll be back any moment---" Lawrence said in a serious manner, standing along with Volcanion, Hoopa, Diancie, Goodra, Primeape, and Gengar.

...

...

"Bi?" Celebi suddenly said, as she felt a call. 

"Biii----!" Celebi exclaimed, as her body glowed, followed by a flash as she left the time-period.

"Where'd Celebi go?" Clemont asked.

"Sir Aaron must've been calling it! Focus on the matter at hand now!" Lawrence said to Clemont.

...

...

...

Suddenly---

A Portal formed behind everyone, and Ash & Serena jumped out of it before it closed. They were both wearing the same formal clothing they were in while dancing together in the past. They had their bags strapped to their backs. Pikachu was on Ash's shoulder.

"Hey guys! It's been a while!" Ash said, waving to everyone as they turned around and looked at him and Serena.

"It's been seconds" Future Serena said. "Welp, I know what happens next, so--- see ya!" She added. She then quickly opened a portal and jumped in it before it closed.

"Arghh---! You're not gonna beat me even after running away in time!!!" Lucifer yelled at Ash, while holding his stomach in a bit of pain.

Lawrence walked towards Ash and Serena. "You two ready?" He asked the two.

"Ready" Ash and Serena replied, as Ash's eyes glowed Blue, while Serena's eyes glowed Pink.

"Go! Greninja! I Choose you!" Ash said, taking out a Pokeball and throwing it up in the air.

"Nin-Ja!" Greninja exclaimed, coming out of his Pokeball and standing in front of Ash and Serena, ready to battle.

"Delphox! Go!" Serena said, taking out a Pokeball and throwing it up in the air.

"Delll-Phox!" Delphox exclaimed, as she came out of her Pokeball and stood in front of Serena, ready to battle.

Ash took a deep breath, and got ready. "Greninja! Let's power it up!" He said, as he and Greninja both formed fists.

A Huge vortex of water formed around Greninja's body, as he transformed into his Ash-Greninja form.

"Nin------JA!" Greninja exclaimed, as the vortex of water split and went inside his back, forming a huge Water Shuriken.

"Let's do this" Ash said to Serena, who nodded back with a smile.

"Greninja! Water Shuriken!" Ash said, raising his arm like Greninja who pulled out the huge Water Shuriken on his back and threw it straight towards Mewtwo.

"Delphox! Mystical Fire!" Serena said..

"Deel-phox!" Delphox exclaimed, as she waved her arm in a circle with her wand and formed a circle of red-orange fire in front of herself. Delphox then released a red-orange stream of fire from its mouth aimed straight at Mewtwo.

*Beep Beep*

Mewtwo's armor beeped, as the RKS System got confused and struggled to decide Mewtwo's secondary Type.

*BOOM*

Dust formed and cleared, revealing Mewtwo had still taken zero damage.

"That's it!" Lawrence said in realization. "Everyone! Attack at the same time! We can overload the RKS System that way!" He added, ordering all of the Pokemon.

"Right!" Everyone replied, nodding their heads.

"That won't WORK!" Giovanni yelled.

"Luxray! I need your help! Use Swift!" Clemont said, throwing a Pokeball and calling out Luxray. "Luxx--RAY!" Luxray exclaimed, as he came out of his Pokeball and shot a set of stars from his tail.

"Staryu! Come out and use Water Gun!" Misty exclaimed, throwing a Pokeball in the air. "HA!" Staryu exclaimed as it came out of it's Pokeball and shot a beam of water from it's top limb.

"Blaziken! Come out and use Focus Blast!" May said, throwing a Pokeball. "Blll-AZIKEN!" Blaziken exclaimed as it came out of it's Pokeball and put it's hands together, forming a yellow orb between them. It then launched the orb away at Mewtwo.

"Sceptile! Go! Use Leaf Storm!" Max said, throwing a Pokeball and calling out his Sceptile. "Sccceee-PTILE!" Sceptile exclaimed as it came out of it's Pokeball, with it's tail aimed at Mewtwo as it shot a vortex of glowing leaves and air.

"Spooky! Use Shadow Ball!" Bonnie said. "Spoo--KY!" Spooky exclaimed, forming a shadowy blob of darkness in front of his mouth and launching it straight towards Mewtwo.

"Lucario! Aura Sphere!" Riley said. "RrrA!" Lucario exclaimed, as he formed a blue ball of Aura in between his paws and launched it.

"Lycanroc! Rock Throw!" Gladion said. "Lyyycaa-ROC!" Lycanroc exclaimed, forming boulders of rock from his mane and launching them.

"Get some Steam Eruption!" Volcanion said, aiming his cannons towards Mewtwo and launching a high-pressured beam of hot steam.

"Hoopa use Psybeam!" Hoopa exclaimed, powering up and launching a blue-colored beam of energy.

"Diamond Storm!" Diancie said, putting her hands together as she formed rocks between them and launched them straight towards Mewtwo.

"Solgaleo! Flash Cannon!" Lawrence said. "Laaa-Leeo--*Roar*" Solgaleo exclaimed, powering up and launching a silver colored full-power beam from his mane aimed directly towards Mewtwo.

"Gooo-DRA!" Goodra exclaimed, firing a multicolored Dragon-shaped energy towards Mewtwo.

"Geen---GAR!" Gengar exclaimed as he formed a dark purple orb of energy in his hands. He then fired a beam of dark purple circles from the orb aimed directly at Mewtwo.

"PRIIMEE--APE!" Primeape exclaimed as he puts his hands together and formed a sparking light yellow orb of energy in between them. He then hurled the yellow orb at Mewtwo.

"Delphox! Mystical Fire!" Serena said. "Deeel--Phox!" Delphox exclaimed, forming an orange-red circle from her wand and then firing a red-orange stream of fire.

"And Greninja! Water Shuriken!" Ash said, as Greninja grabbed the Huge Water Shuriken on his back and launched it straight towards Mewtwo.

*Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep*

Mewtwo's Armor started beeping repeatedly, as it changed Mewtwo's secondary typing every split-second to avoid taking damage from the wide range of attacks it was detecting.

"Mewtwo! Dodge them all!" Giovanni said, squinting his eyes.

Mewtwo quickly hovered around and dodged all of the attacks at the last split-second.

"Ahahaah!" Giovanni laughed. "You cannot match the power and Greatness of Mewtwo! Never!" He said, pointing at Everyone.

Lillie's Nebby got back up now, and hovered in front of Lillie.

"Nebby! uh-- attack!" Lillie said, ordering Nebby. "Lunaa-a-a-a-a!!!" Nebby exclaimed, as she raised her two wings and formed a perfect circle. The circle then glowed light blue, releasing a high-powered beam of energy aimed directly at Mewtwo.  

*Beep*

*BOOM*

Dust formed and cleared, revealing Mewtwo slammed to the wall behind him.

"WHAT?! HOW can it do damage?! That wasn't Super-Effective!" Giovanni yelled. "Mewtwo! Use Recover NOW!" He yelled.

"What just---" Lawrence said, confused.

Suddenly, Nebby's body changed form after using it's Moongeist Beam attack.

"What the---" Giovanni said, looking at Nebby in the distance.

"That's the full Moon phase of Lunala! She used a Moongeist Beam attack!" Lawrence said. 

"Of course!" Clemont instantly said. "If only Super-Effective moves are supposed to do damage, it means that Mewtwo somehow has the Wonder Guard ability!" He added.

"What?!" Lawrence said. "Shouda known. That might explain the hit doing damage." He added, getting ready. "Ash! Use a Z-move! Those can't be stopped by Wonder guard!" He said.

Ash looked at Lawrence, and nodded. He quickly grabbed the cuff on his wrist and unbuttoned it, revealing his black Z-Ring. 

"Full Throttle, Greninja!" Ash exclaimed, crossing his arms and activating the Dragonium-Z fitted on his Z-Ring.

Ash raised his arms over his right shoulder, forming a claw. He then stuck it forwards, and opened it wide as orange Z-Energy came out of his body and went inside Greninja's body.

"Greninja! Let it RIP! Devastating DRAKE!" Ash exclaimed, as Greninja grabbed the Water Shuriken from his back, and spun it upwards on it's axis. The Shuriken changed color to green and became a Dragon Shuriken. All of Greninja's Z-Energy got absorbed by the Dragon Shuriken, causing it to glow purple.

"NINN---JA!" Greninja exclaimed, throwing the Powered up Shuriken towards Mewtwo. The Shuriken morphed mid-air, turning into a blob and then into a huge Purple Dragon that went straight towards Mewtwo while roaring loudly and flapping it's wings.

"Mewtwo! Use Protect!" Giovanni exclaimed.

*BOOM*

Dust formed and cleared, revealing Mewtwo holding his hand straight ahead and with barely any damage.

"Now! Recover!" Giovanni exclaimed.

Mewtwo's body glowed, clearing the few marks it had on it and recovered his health completely.

"Agh--- it's no use---" Ash said, grinding his teeth in frustration. 

"Mewtwo is unstoppable! And since I have such a Pokemon in my command, I am a LIVING GOD!" Giovanni exclaimed.

"That's where you're wrong" Ash said, as he stepped ahead of everyone. His eyes started to glow blue. "Greninja! Let's do this! Suit up!" He added, as he smashed his blue glowing fists together.

"Nin-Ja!" Greninja exclaimed, as he also smashed his fists at the same time, causing both Ash and Greninja's bodies to form a set of glowing blue Samurai Armor.

"WHAT?!" Lucifer exclaimed in a surprised manner. 

"The Hell is THAT?!" Giovanni exclaimed in a surprised manner.

"WHAT?! This is incredible!" Clemont said, looking at Ash and Greninja in their additionally powered up form.

"What" "How" Everyone else said, and so did the Legendary Pokemon Diancie, Volcanion, and Hoopa.

"Nice!" Lawrence exclaimed, forming a fist. "So it was the Samurai Warrior Shizo that responded to you, ha?!" He added.

"It was all three, Dad" Ash replied, looking straight towards Mewtwo with glowing blue eyes.

"Wait. All three?" Riley said in a surprised manner.

"Yep." Ash replied, pumped up and ready to go.

"Doesn't matter if it was all three of them!" Lucifer exclaimed. "That Gimmicky Armor is probably gonna make you slow!" He added.

"Not a problem" Ash replied. "Now you see us---" He added, as his and Greninja's bodies started fading into thin air. "Now you don't" He added, as him and Greninja went completely invisible.

"AH!" Lucifer exclaimed, as his eyes glowed red. He looked around, and couldn't see Ash's or Greninja's Auras. 

"What trickery is this?!" Giovanni exclaimed.

"The power of the Ninja Warrior Kanzo is with me." Ash's voice came. "Now! Greninja! Night Slash! Let's go!" His voice added.

*Ash-Greninja Theme Plays*

"Nin-JA!" Greninja's voice exclaimed.

"Huh?" Everyone said, looking around and not seeing anything.

"Haha! That's my kid!" Lawrence said, chuckling.

*BOOM*

Mewtwo got slashed hard, getting blasted away. He hit the wall behind Giovanni and Lucifer, forming a crater.

"Aggh--! Ultra Beasts!" Lucifer exclaimed. "ATTACK!" He yelled as he threw Five Beast Balls in the air, releasing them.

"Buzzzz---wole!" The first Ultra Beast in Lucifer's possession: Buzzwole exclaimed, coming out of it's Beast Ball and standing in front of Lucifer.

"xxxxx-urkt---TREee!" The next Ultra Beast, Xurkitree exclaimed as it came out of it's Beast ball and stood in front of Lucifer.

"ccceeeel-Lesteeelaaaa---!" The next Ultra Beast, Celesteela exclaimed as it came out of the Beast Ball and stood in front of Lucifer.

"Karkakar--Taaana!" The Next Ultra Beast, a Kartana exclaimed as it came out of it's Beast Ball.

"Guzz-Looord---!" The Final Ultra Beast, a Guzzlord exclaimed as it came out of it's Beast Ball.

Lucifer then threw the last Master Ball and called out his Necrozma.

"NnecrooZma!" Necrozma exclaimed, coming out of it's Pokeball.

"ATTACK! I WANT BLOOD!" Lucifer yelled. He was holding his stomach in pain.

The Five Ultra Beasts and Necrozma nodded and charged straight towards the other Pokemon, with their bodies glowing.

Buzzwole, the Bug/Fighting-type Ultra Beast sprinted straight towards Volcanion, with it's arm powered up and glowing yellow as it used a Thunder Punch attack.

"Bring it on, ya pathetic excuse of a Pokemon!" Volcanion exclaimed, as he aimed his launchers straight towards Buzzwole.

*BOOM*

"Xxxur-Kitttree!" The Electric-Type Ultra Beast Xurkitree exclaimed as it went straight towards Hoopa while aiming it's tentacle-like body to go in for a wrap attack.

"Hehhehe! Hoopa Ghost-type!" Hoopa exclaimed, as he easily went right through the Xurkitree's tentacles, making it slam into the wall behind him. "Hehehehe! You suck at Pokemon Battle! :P " Hoopa said to the Ultra beast, while sticking his tongue out.

"Now Hoopa use Hyperspace hole!" Hoopa exclaimed, as he opened up a dark hole under his body and went in it. The same dark hole appeared under the downed Xurkitree, from which Hoopa came out with a glowing fist, smashing it into the Ultra Beast's body.

*BOOM*

"Celesssteeeelaaaa-----!" The Steel/Flying-type Ultra Beast exclaimed as it contracted it's huge towering limbs and went straight towards Diancie, with it's body glowing with a yellow outline as it used a Heavy Slam attack.

"Diamond Storm!" Diancie exclaimed, raising her arms and forming a huge pile of Diamonds in front of her.

*BOOM*

"AaaaH!" Diancie yelled, as she got blasted away and hit the wall behind her. 

Serena quickly heard Diancie and looked at the Celesteela cornering Diancie. "Delphox! Use Flamethrower on that Ultra Beast! Quick!" She said while pointing at the Celesteela.

"Deel-PHOX!" Delphox exclaimed as she swung her wand around and then launched a stream of flames aimed directly at the Celesteela, causing it to get blasted away at the side and away from Diancie. It hit Ernest's busted car, and caused a leak in the fuel tank.

*BOOM*

"AH!" Everyone said as they covered their faces from the explosion in Ernest's car. The Ultra beast was welded to the molten aluminium and had spirals in it's eyes.

"Thank you, Serena!" Diancie said.

"You're welcome!" Serena replied.

"Behind you!" Bonnie exclaimed, pointing behind Serena.

"AH!" Serena said as she quickly turned around and spotted a Kartana, the Grass/Steel type Ultra Beast headed towards her with a green glowing Leaf Blade.

"Delphox! Mystical Fire!" Serena exclaimed.

"deel-PHOX!"

*BOOM*

The Ultra Beast took the 4x Super effective damage and fell towards the ground, with spirals in it's eyes.

"Guess you owe me one!" Bonnie said to Serena.

Serena looked at the tired and energy depleted Squishy in her hands. "Quick! Give Squishy to me!" Serena said, running towards Bonnie.

Bonnie handed Squishy to Serena. "What are you gonna do to it?" She asked.

"Just watch" Serena replied, as her eyes and hands glowed pink. The glow also formed on Squishy's body.

"Aura---" Bonnie said, surprised. "No Fair! I wanna use Aura too!" She added.

Suddenly---

"Woooolololololololololooooo----!!!!" Squishy exclaimed as his body completely filled up with energy, causing him to call all Zygarde Cells in nearly half of the Alola Region towards him.

"AH!" Bonnie said, as Serena placed Squishy near her feet. 

"Now we're even!" Serena said, as she and Delphox ran off and started attacking Mewtwo who was still dodging and deflecting attacks.

"Wolololololoooo----!!!!" Squishy's call intensified, as the Zygarde cells shot straight towards him, causing him to transform into his 50% Snake-like form.

"AH!" Bonnie exclaimed, as Squishy morphed while being placed under her, causing her to sit on top of it's serpent head.

Everyone suddenly stopped battling, and looked at the power of Zygarde before their eyes.

"WHAT?!" Lucifer exclaimed, looking at Squishy.

"All right, Squishy! You're in your 50% form!" Bonnie said, looking around herself. "Now! Use Thousand Arrows on Lucifer! A taste of his own Medicine!" Bonnie exclaimed, ordering Squishy while sitting on it's head as if it were her pet.

Squishy slightly nodded his head, as his body glowed with a green color. It launched a barrage of Green-glowing Arrows aimed straight at Lucifer.

Lucifer looked at the Thousand Arrows attack headed towards him.

"Ah-- shit" Lucifer said, as he raised his arms upwards, forming a glowing red shield of Aura.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Dust cleared, revealing Lucifer lying on the ground and unconscious.

"All right! Way to go Bonnie!" Ash's voice came out of nowhere, since he was still invisible. "Ninja!" Greninja's voice followed.

"Guzzzz---loordd----!" The Large Dark/Dragon type Ultra Beast Guzzlord exclaimed as it headed straight towards Goodra.

"PRIME-APE!" Primeape exclaimed, jumping out of nowhere and standing beside Goodra. 

"GenGAR!" Gengar exclaimed, joining the two.

"All right, you three!" Ash's voice said. "Goodra! Use Dragon Pulse! Primeape! Focus Blast! Gengar! Sludge Bomb!" He added, ordering the Trio of Pokemon.

"GOO--DRA!" Goodra exclaimed, forming a multicolored Dragon-Shaped energy in front of his mouth and shooting it towards the Ultra Beast.

"PRIMEee---APE!" Primeape exclaimed, putting his hands together and forming a yellow orb of energy, and then launching it.

"Geeeng---AR!" Gengar exclaimed, spitting out a huge blob of poison from his mouth, aimed towards the Ultra Beast.

The three attacks hit the Guzzlord at the same time.

*BOOM*

Dust formed and cleared, revealing Guzzlord lying on the ground, with spirals in it's eyes.

"ALL right! Way to go, Team!" Ash's voice said.

Ash then went back towards Mewtwo, who was being attacked by Lawrence's Solgaleo, Riley's Lucario, Gladion's Lycanroc, Serena's Delphox, and Lillie's Nebby.

"Greninja! Water Shuriken!"

"Solgaleo! Flash Cannon!"

"Lucario! Aura Sphere!"

"Lycanroc! Stone EDGE!"

"Nebby! Moongeist Beam!" 

"Luxray! Discharge!"

"Blaziken! Focus Blast!"

"Sceptile! Leaf Storm!"

"Staryu! Water Gun!"

"Delphox! Mystical Fire!

*Beep Beep Beep Beep*

*BOOM*

"Mewtwo! Recover!" Giovanni said.

"Quick! Aerial Ace!" Ash's voice came.

*Beep*

*BOOM*

"Mewtwo! Psystrike!" Giovanni exclaimed, as Mewtwo formed a blob of Psychic energy right above his head and threw it straight towards Lawrence.

*BOOM*

"DAD!" Ash's voice came.

Dust cleared, revealing Lawrence protecting himself under an Aura Shield.

"Your old Man's still got it, kid" Lawrence exclaimed, forming an Aura Sphere between his hands and launching it towards Mewtwo.

*Beep* 

*BOOM*

"Greninja! Get up close! Water Shuriken!" Ash's voice came.

"Solgaleo! Flash Cannon!" Lawrence exclaimed.

*BOOM*

Mewtwo got blasted away, and hit the wall behind Giovanni.

"Mewtwo! Get up and use Recover!" Giovanni yelled.

"Ah!" Ash exclaimed, as his eyes opened wide as he sensed something at the exact time Greninja got close to Mewtwo.

"Ash! What happened?" Serena asked, looking around since she couldn't see Ash.

"Mewtwo--- His Aura--- It's fighting the machines--- He has Memories--- strong emotional memories--- but they've been blocked---" Ash voice said.

"What do we do then?" Serena asked.

"Just keep him busy!" Ash's voice came.

"All right!" Serena replied, in a determined tone. "Everyone! With me! Attack!" She added, pointing straight towards Mewtwo.

"Squishy! Thousand Arrows!" Bonnie said, pointing towards Mewtwo.

"Solgaleo! Flash Cannon!" Lawrence exclaimed.

"Lucario! Dragon Pulse!" Riley yelled.

"Lycanroc! Stone Edge!" Gladion said.

"Nebby! Moongeist Beam!" Lillie said.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Mewtwo got blasted away, making him hit the wall and then drop to the ground.

"Use Recover!" Giovanni yelled.

Right before Mewtwo used Recover, an Invisible Ash got close to Mewtwo and aimed the palms of his hands towards his head, while closing his eyes. He scanned the Memories and then shot a small blue orb towards Mewtwo's head that went in it and got absorbed.

"Done!" Ash's voice exclaimed, as he successfully restored some of Mewtwo's memories.

Suddenly, Lucifer got back up. He looked at almost all of his Ultra Beasts defeated. "I know your weakness, Ash!" He exclaimed, as he quickly raised his arm towards Serena. Numerous red Arrows formed around his arm, and then shot straight towards Serena.

"SERENA! Look out!" Ash's voice exclaimed, while looking at Serena as suddenly he stopped focusing his powers and got visible in plain sight along with Greninja.

"Huh? AH!" Serena said, as she quickly looked at the oncoming arrows.

Ash quickly smashed his fist on the ground. "Ninja leaf shroud!" He exclaimed, as a vortex of wind and leaves formed under Serena's feet and teleported her straight in Ash's arms.

*Whoosh* 

"Ninja leaf shroud---?! All of this is too hard for my mind to calculate!" Clemont said, looking on. 

"Serena! You shouldn't get scared so quickly!" Ash said in a worried manner, looking at Serena in his arms bridal-style.

"I know you're always there for me--- just like now--- why would I be scared---?" Serena said, looking into Ash's eyes in a dearly fashion.

"SON! Not to cockblock you, but we're kinda in the middle of something!" Lawrence exclaimed, while constantly forming Aura Spheres in his hands and attacking any Ultra Beast that came his way.

"Uh! Yea!" Ash said, as Serena quickly got down on her feet and stood straight. 

"YOU'RE GONNA DIE!" Lucifer exclaimed, as he aimed his arm towards Ash and launched a whole barrage of red-colored arrows towards Serena.

Ash quickly stepped in front of Serena, with a serious expression on his face.

(In Ash's head) "Aura--- Is with me---" Ash said, as time started moving slowly for him. Everything around him went in slow-motion.

Ash raised his arms ahead of him, forming a blue Aura Shield. He looked straight at Lucifer in a serious manner, remembering how Lucifer was able to Murder Serena because Ash's own shield was too weak to stop one Arrow. But this time, it was a whole barrage of arrows.

Ash closed his eyes. (In Ash's thoughts) "The Eldest Warrior--- Knight Hanzo's shielding powers--- His Aura--- is with me---" He said, opening his eyes. 

The palms of Ash's hands glowed with an intense blue color, causing the Shield to grow thicker, and larger.

Time went back to normal speed.

*BOOM*

Dust formed, as the Arrows exploded on contact.

"NO!" Lawrence yelled, as he looked at the spot where Ash was standing. There was dust everywhere.

"HAHAHA!" Lucifer yelled. "What a pathetic excuse for a wielder of Aura! Thinks that the Warriors and their techniques are the greatest just because they were the first ones to wield Aura? HA! Pitiful!" He added.

Suddenly---

The dust cleared, revealing Ash standing still in front of Serena. His Shield was still up, and as bright as ever.

"The first one matters---" Ash said to Lucifer. "Name the Fourth Person to walk on the Moon, Lucifer---" He added. 

"What da---?" Lucifer said in a surprised manner, looking at Ash still having his Shield up.

"People remember the first person--- because they have the will and courage to do IT!" Ash exclaimed, sticking one hand ahead of him and the other behind it, as a glowing blue Bow and Arrow formed in his hands.

"You could've broken the shield if all of your arrows hit the same spot. You suck at aiming, Lucifer--- because you don't know the proper technique of launching Aura arrows" Ash said, with his aim at Lucifer's chest.

"You don't know SHIT ABOUT AURA!!!" Lucifer yelled.

Ash looked straight ahead of him, his sights set on Lucifer's chest. He started thinking about how Lucifer's arrow hit Serena in the chest. His sights were on the chest as well. This was his moment.

"Bye-bye" Ash said, launching the arrow straight at Lucifer's chest.

"HA!" Lucifer exclaimed, as he quickly raised his arms and formed a glowing red shield of Aura.

Suddenly---

Ash's Aura Arrow pierced through Lucifer's red Shield, and went straight into his chest.

"AGh!" Lucifer said, as he lowered his arms, and looked at his chest. His expression turned blank.

"That was for Serena" Ash said in a serious manner, lowering his arms as the glowing bow disappeared. Lucifer fell to the ground lifelessly.

Everyone looked at everything going on with shock.

Suddenly---

Mewtwo's body shook, as his emotions got more and more powerful. He started resisting the control of the Armor Even more now since he had so many powerful emotions.

[Inside Mewtwo's head]

"Huh?" Mewtwo said, looking around. All he could see was complete darkness. He wasn't wearing the Armor in this dream/vision at all.  

"I---can't control myself--- what is going on---?" Mewtwo asked himself. "How is this possible---? I trusted only a few humans--- humans that I know would never do such a thing to me--- yet I ended up like this again---?" He added.

Suddenly---

*FLASH*

"AH!" Mewtwo exclaimed, as his memories jogged up. He started remembering things.

*Flashback start*

"Thank you for caring about me" A Little girl, AmberTwo said. "and don't cry, Mewtwo--- you should be happy! You're alive---- and life is wonderful---" 

Echo: "Life is wonderful--- life is wonderful--- life is wonderful---"

Mewtwo lowered his head, as he started shedding tears. "These Tears--- what good are they---? Please Amber! Come back! Don't go please! Amber----!" He said while crying.

Numerous voices started coming.

*Sirens*

"Doctor! Mewtwo's brainwaves are out of control!" A Feminine voice said.

"It's getting too upset!" Dr. Fuji voice said. "It mustn't remember this! Administer the serum! Do it immediately!" His voice added.

"I'll try a 100 units" The Feminine voice replied.

*Sirens*

"10--20--30--40--50--60--70--80--90-- One hundred---" The Feminine voice said.

"What's happening? Is it working?" Dr. Fuji asked.

"It's brainwaves are going back to normal--- everything seems okay, Doctor--" The Feminine voice replied.

"Nothing is okay--- My Amber is gone forever--- Only Mewtwo survives---" Dr. Fuji said.

...

...

...

*Flashback end*

"Amber!" Mewtwo exclaimed. "No!" He added, with widening eyes.

"Amber--- died because of--- Giovanni's experiment on me---?" Mewtwo said to himself, remembering everything.

"My mission--- to protect all Pokemon from evil Humans--- Is--- useless if I cannot control myself---" Mewtwo added, looking around as he started seeing in real life. He was continuously attacking and dodging attacks from the Pokemon of Ash and his friends, taking orders from Giovanni.  

"Amber----" Mewtwo said, as tears formed in his eyes.

[Back to real-life]

Mewtwo kept attacking and dodging, obeying Giovanni's orders. Every time he took a hit and fell due to the RKS System overloading, Giovanni just ordered him to use Recover and get back to full power.

Suddenly---

As Mewtwo dealt with the emotions in his mind, his physical self also started shedding tears under the thick Metal Armor.

*Zzz*

"Huh?" Giovanni said, as he looked at Mewtwo's Armor suddenly emit sparks of electricity.

"Yes!" Ash said, looking on.

"What's happening, Son?" Lawrence asked Ash.

"Mewtwo had some seriously emotional Memories that were forgotten--- I made him remember one of the strongest he had. He's crying right now, causing a short in the armor on his face--- It's a very dark Memory from his past---" Ash replied, looking on.

"What?!" Giovanni said in a surprised manner. "No! Mewtwo! Use Psystrike!" He added.

Mewtwo raised his arms up, as he started forming a huge blob of Psychic energy above his head.

*ZZzzz*

Suddenly, a small puff of smoke rose from Mewtwo's Armor, before the glow on the Armor stopped. The Armor was disabled now.

"Huh?" Ash said, looking on. "I thought there was gonna be an explosion or something" He added.

"You can thank me for that" A Female voice came from behind.

Everyone turned around, and looked at the source. It was Mars, holding a small remote control device in her hand while standing alongside Ernest.

"Dude--- this system is like--- so outdated---! It was so easy to interfere with it and disable it!" Ernest said.

*Zzzz*

Mewtwo stopped moving, as his Armor no longer forced him to do anything. 

*zzzzzzzzzz*

The Armor started shorting, and then snapped. The Main part that was fitted on Mewtwo's head fell off, followed by the rest of the parts.

"Hmm---?" Mewtwo said, as he opened his eyes and looked at Ash and the rest. "I can move freely---?" He asked himself, looking at his hand which was now under his command.

"Yeah, Mewtwo! You're back!" Ash said, forming a fist.

"Back---? Where was I?" Mewtwo asked.

"Giovanni had you under control with that Machine that just came off of you!" Clemont said.

"Huh?" Mewtwo said, as his eyes widened. "Giovanni?" He added, as he turned around and looked at Giovanni standing behind him.

"Hm?" Giovanni said, sweat-dropping. 

"You--- You are the reason why Amber died---" Mewtwo said to Giovanni. "You funded the Doctor's research--- You are the reason she died--- and lived--- and died again--- You are the reason she had to go through all of that---!" He added, getting closer to Giovanni with a glowing body.

"D-D-D-Don't you dare come CLOSER! You were created to Serve ME! You are a Pokemon that I ALONE WILL CONTROL!" He yelled at Mewtwo.

"You betrayed my trust--- You hurt innocent Pokemon--- and sold them to the highest bidder--- You spared zero expense in attempting to capture and enslave me--- You will not do any of that--- You--- will be stopped--- You--- will--- DIE!" Mewtwo yelled, as his whole body started glowing blue, as he raised his arms and formed a giant blob of Psychic Energy above it.

"No, Mewtwo! Don't Kill him!" Riley exclaimed. "The International Police will handle it! We will bring him to Justice!" He added.

"Sorry, Riley--- but this dirtbag doesn't deserve a fair TRIAL---!!!" Mewtwo replied, as he looked at Giovanni and quickly threw the Giant Psystrike Blob on him.

"AH! Shield yourself!" Lawrence yelled.

Ash, Serena, Riley, and Lawrence raised their arms, forming a huge shield in front of them that protected all of the Pokemon and People present in the spot.

*BOOM*

Dust kicked off and cleared, revealing the wall of the Hideout behind Giovanni missing, and the Alolan waters visible in the distance as Mewtwo even blasted a chunk off of the Aether Island.

"What the---?" Lawrence said, as he lowered his arms. Everyone else did the same, looking on with a shocked expression as the shield they formed disappeared.

"Where's Mewtwo? Where's Giovanni?" Ash said in confusion. 

Suddenly---

Mewtwo came hovering lower from the blown ceiling, holding Giovanni's unconscious body in his hand. There was a bit of blood coming out of Giovanni's mouth. Mewtwo released Giovanni, making him drop to the ground lifelessly.

"This is for Amber--- and every Pokemon you hurt---" Mewtwo said to Giovanni's unconscious body. He then turned his head towards Riley. "I didn't kill him. Get him away from my sights--- or I will---" He said to Riley.

Riley nodded his head. "Thank you, Mewtwo" He said, and walked ahead. Lawrence, Ash, and Serena followed.

Riley came up to Giovanni's unconscious body, and pulled out a pair of handcuffs. "You have the right to remain--- unconscious I guess---" Riley said to Giovanni, putting his hands towards his back and firmly locking them in place.

Ash, Serena, and Lawrence walked up to Lucifer's body.

"I admire your bravery, Son" Lawrence said to Ash. "He sure pissed you off big time that you sent an Arrow through his chest." He added.

"He sent an arrow through Serena's chest. All he got back was a counter-attack" Ash said, looking at Lucifer's body which had a hole in the middle.

Suddenly---

Lucifer's whole body glowed with a red Aura, healing him in the process. The hole in his chest suddenly patched itself up, completely closing.

"aaAh--!" Lucifer exclaimed in pain, as he regained consciousness.

"AH!" Everyone exclaimed in a surprised manner, looking at Lucifer healing himself.

"Ahahhh---ha-h-ahhh--- What---? Surprised?" Lucifer said, as he held his chest in pain and got back up. 

Ash quickly got alert, widening his footing. He then focused his powers, and smashed his fists and unsheathed a glowing blue Katana. "Try one thing and you'll taste it" Ash said in a serious manner, looking at Lucifer.

"So that's what you've got--- hmm---?" Lucifer said, looking at Ash. "Powers of the Grace of the Ninja--- Armor of the Samurai--- and weapons and shields of the Knight---? You'll pay for this--- You've made a huge mistake today----" He added. He then quickly raised his arm to his side, opening up a portal. 

"Wait! Don't let him---" Lawrence exclaimed, while Lucifer jumped into the portal before it closed. "---run away--" He added, looking at the portal close.

Riley walked up to Ash and the rest. "Looks like we're one guy short" He said. 

"Eh--- we'll catch him---" Lawrence said.

"His Aura was extremely weak though---" Serena said.

"Yeah" Ash said.

"It'll be a while till we see Lucifer pop up again. A few months to say the least" Lawrence said.

"I like the sound of that---" Ash said.

"Let's just get this base back to where it came from--- It's an evidence goldmine" Lawrence said, looking around.

"Can't we go around Alola? Since we're already here and I'm gonna come back here today" Ash said to Lawrence.

"Huh? Today?" Lawrence asked.

"Yeah--- My holidays are actually over, so--- I should probably get to school now" Ash said.

"That's nice, but that would be a selfish use of these powers--- These powers are meant to do good. Not teleport and save transportation costs---" Lawrence said. "If I did that, I might piss off Arceus. And Arceus is someone you should never try to piss off. Ever." He added.

"Oh-- gotcha---" Ash said.

"Let's go back home" Lawrence said as his body glowed with a blue outline. He walked towards the center of the place, and started using his powers.

"AAAGHHH!!!!" Lawrence exclaimed, as his body started hovering.

The ground shook, as the sky up above shifted colors from blue to purple and then back to blue.

The sights of the Alolan waters also disappeared, and got replaced with the soil of the Viridian Forest.

The ground stabilized, as Lawrence's body stopped glowing. He fell to his knees, completely depleted of energy.

"Dad!" Ash said, as he grabbed Lawrence before he collapsed.

"I-I'm okay---" Lawrence replied, as he took deep breaths.

"Serena! Do something!" Ash said to Serena.

Serena nodded, and quickly aimed her arms towards Lawrence. Her eyes and body glowed with a pink aura, as she started healing Lawrence's body which also glowed pink in response.

"Whoa---" Bonnie said, looking on as she saw Serena heal Lawrence in a matter of seconds.

"Aghhh-- thank you---" Lawrence said, as his voice stabilized and he got back up on his feet.

"What now---?" Ash asked, looking at his army of Pokemon.

"Em--- uh--- Let's just get out of here for now--- Looker and his Team can take care of this base" Riley said, looking at Giovanni and then at his PokeGear. He sent the coordinates to Looker.

A few Moments later, outside the Hideout. The Viridian Forest. 

"You do realize that one right doesn't make up for all the wrong you've done--- correct?" Riley said to Mars, as he handcuffed her. 

Mars didn't say anything, and kept silent.

"You have the right to remain silent. As you wish." Riley said, locking the handcuffs in place.

"Where's she gonna go?" Ash asked.

"Prison. Where she belongs" Riley replied.

"H-Hold on" Lawrence said.

"Huh?" Riley and Mars said.

"Mars--- You have a few months worth of prison time left, don't you?" Lawrence asked.

"Yeah--- why?" Mars replied.

"Complete your Prison time, and come to the Viridian City HQ. You have a badge waiting for you" Lawrence said. "Looker will take care of your hearing. One right doesn't make up for every wrong ever, but what you did to help us can't go unnoticed either" He added.

"Th-Thank you--- Detective" Mars replied, lowering her head.

Lillie and Gladion walked up to Mars. 

"So--- you're our cousin--- huh?" Lillie asked while sweat-dropping.

"Yes---" Mars replied.

"Feels weird. To suddenly have family." Gladion said.

"You have two more though--- My little brother Silver and Stepbrother Calem" Mars said to Lillie and Gladion.

"Where are they? I wanna meet them!" Lillie said in an uplift manner.

"Um--- I really have no clue---" Mars replied.

"Oh well--- wait--- Is Silver that red-haired guy? The one with a Mega-Evolving Feraligatr?" Lillie asked.

"Yea--- He competed in the Indigo League that just finished" Mars said. "Why, have you met him?" She asked.

Lillie made a straight face, stunned. "Yes. Shoulda known he was my cousin all that time---" She said, with her eyes completely in shock.

"Hey--- didn't Lillie say a day ago that she found Sliver hot? She was saying --MMM-mmm-!!!" Bonnie asked Serena, but got her mouth covered in response.

*Everyone laughs*

Gladion chuckled. "To think you almost went down that route---" He said, covering his mouth.

"Brother! Not you too!" Lillie said, completely embarrassed.

"Dude---" Ernest said to Mars. "I'll come visit ya! I'll sneak some buds too so we can smoke together!" He added.

"Let's just get outta here!" Lawrence said, as he looked up in the sky.

A noise of a helicopter came, that located everyone.

..

..

..

Moments later--- Viridian City. Outside International Police HQ.

"Well, dudes--- I gotta go now. Nice meeting you" Ernest said.

"You're leaving already?" Clemont said.

"Dude--- I'm out of buds. I smoked em' all with Mars when we made that remote" Ernest said. "A sober Ernest is a mad scientist. You don't need that, Dude---" He added.

"Don't get caught buying from illegal sources, kid" Riley said to Ernest.

"Dude--- my weed guy is like--- totally professional--- he even gives discounts if the stuff isn't FDA approved for human consumption. Totally cool dude if you ask me." Ernest said.

"That's exactly what--- never mind--- just go. Come by later and we'll talk about your car." Riley said, shaking his head.

"Nah nah-- I don't need a car from a government--- You guys tap everything--- not my style, dude. I need cash" Ernest said.

"Fine--- whatever--- just come by later instead of ranting online about how the government is conspiring against you. Okay?" Riley said.

"Okay, Sure detective--- All right, bye dudes!" Ernest said, as he left.

Everyone waved bye to Ernest.

"What about my Pokemon, Dad?" Ash asked Lawrence, while looking at Goodra, Primeape, and Gengar.

"Goodra was here just to lend a hand--- although the rest of the two are returning to you" Lawrence said. "How about I keep these two, and return Goodra to it's home in Kalos?" He asked.

"Keep them?" Ash asked.

"Well, they can be a great asset to our operation. I have an assigned mission to the Andes Mountains along with Looker's team. These two will be a great addition to my team. And you're gonna leave them at Oak's lab anyways, right?" Lawrence said.

"Y-Yeah---" Ash replied.

"Then it's settled!" Lawrence said, looking at Primeape and Gengar. "You two okay with it?" He asked the two Pokemon.

Primeape and Gengar looked at Ash's smiling face, who nodded.

"Geng-Geng!" "Prime-APE!" The two Pokemon said, nodding their heads.

"Welcome aboard the International Police, then! I believe you will enjoy working with us" Lawrence said to the two Pokemon. He then looked towards the gate, and signaled another Detective.

The Detective came running. "Yes sir!" He said to Lawrence, saluting him.

"Take these two Pokemon. I want them healed, and in tip-top shape in order to take assignments." Lawrence said to the Detective.

"Yes Sir!" The detective said to Lawrence. 

"Goodbye, you two. Thanks for the assist" Ash said, as he hugged Primeape and Gengar. "We'll meet again when I come back from Alola, okay?" He said to the two. 

"Prime-Ape!" "Geng-Geng!" The two Pokemon replied while nodding, before turning around and walking into the International Police HQ building with the Detective.

"Well, glad that's taken care of" Lawrence said.

"Mom is gonna be all right--- right?" Lillie asked Ash.

"Yeah don't worry." Ash replied. "I wiped all of her memories from the day she found your Dad Professor Mohn's research papers on Ultra Beasts. She'll think she was in a coma all this time" He added.

"Oh-- great---" Lillie said, as she looked at her side as International Police Officials put a still unconscious Lusamine inside a van. She was lying on a stretcher. Gladion was with her.

"I'll book the tickets for you two. See you later" Gladion said to Lillie and Ash, as he closed the van's door from the inside. The Van drove away. 

"You know it wasn't easy to convince everyone to let Lusamine go without consequence. They were salty about the Ultra Beasts she released in Alola. You owe me one." Lawrence said.

"S-Sure, Mr. Ketchum---" Lillie replied.

"That's Colonel Ketchum to you--- or Detective--- whichever you like--" Lawrence said.

"Colonel?" Ash said, raising his eyebrow.

"Ehh--- it's a story for another time, kiddo" Lawrence said.

"Well, Ash---" Serena said to Ash, as she looked at a Limo stop right next to her on the street.

"Yeah?" Ash asked.

"I have to go for an hour---" Serena said.

"An hour? Where?" Ash asked.

"Compulsory medical check-ups--- they need medical reports in order to move forwards with the contract deals--- they can't wait." Serena said.

"Oh-- well then see you at the Airport!" Ash said in a cheerful manner.

"Hm!" Serena said, nodding her head. She then leaned up towards Ash and gave him a small peck on the lips.

"See you later, everyone!" Serena said, as she turned around and entered the limo.

"Goodbye!" Everyone said, as the limo drove off.

"Well, you kids have fun--- We've got some work to do" Lawrence said, looking at Riley and then at Goodra.

"Uh-- sure, Dad--- See you later?" Ash said.

"This is gonna take a while--- So it's a goodbye!" Lawrence said, as he walked forwards and hugged Ash. "Try not to show off with those powers, 'kay? They easily grab unwanted attention." He said to Ash.

"Sure, Dad" Ash replied.

Lawrence leaned forwards, and towards Ash's ears. "Between you and me, try to stay in contact with Serena--- you don't wanna lose such a nice girl like her. I need a daughter-in-law like her." He said, making Ash instantly start blushing.

"Dad--!" Ash said, embarrassed.

"Ahaha!" Lawrence chuckled. "Okay, then--- time to go for us---" He said.

"Okay--- goodbye, Goodra--- Thanks a lot!" Ash said to Goodra.

"Gooo-Goodra! Gooo!" Goodra said, as he hugged Ash.

"Ohh--- Goodra--- you're too much!" Ash said, as Goodra rubbed his face against Ash's before releasing him.

"Okay then-- Bye!" Lawrence said, as he raised his arm and opened up a portal. 

"Goodbye, Ash" Riley said to Ash, as he entered the Portal. Lawrence and Goodra followed, before the portal closed. 

"Hoopa, Volcanion, and Diancie left as well---" Ash said, thinking. "Man--- any idea what to do in the meantime?" He asked everyone.

"Uh--- I have a friend coming over to meet me. You're gonna like him!" Clemont said, while texting someone on his PokeGear.

"Who's that?" Bonnie asked.

"It's that guy--- In Lumiose City--- remember?" Clemont said.

"Oh-- yeah! I'm excited to meet him again!" Bonnie said. "You'll like him, Ash!" She said.

"Really? Well, we'll see about that" Ash said. "Brock's coming over as well--- Along with Mom and Mrs. Yvonne. They'll be here any moment." He added.

"Brock?" Clemont said. 

"Oh, he's Ash's very old super-best friend, big brother! You'll like him! He and Misty traveled with Ash the first time through Kanto and Johto!" Bonnie said.

"Oh--- I guess it'd be great to meet him. He's the Doctor friend, correct?" Clemont asked.

"Yeah!" Bonnie replied.

"Let's go somewhere we can sit in the meantime" May said.

Everyone nodded, and walked away.

A Few moments later---

Everyone: Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, Misty, May, Max, and Lillie were sitting at a table outside a cafe.

"Hey Ash--- who are you texting?" Lillie asked.

"Oh-- It's Brock--- I'm texting him our location." Ash replied.

*Beep*

"Oh" Clemont said, looking into his PokeGear. "He's here. I'll go get him" He added, getting up from his seat and running away.

A few moments later---

Clemont was walking, and looking around as he searched for his friend. Suddenly, he bumped into someone.

"Oh! Sorry!" Clemont said in an instant, looking at the person he just accidentally bumped into.

"No problem!" The Other person, Brock replied. 

Clemont was about to walk away, when Brock spoke up. "Hey! Mister! Could you tell me where Cafe Latias is?" He asked Clemont.

"Cafe Latias? It's just around the corner over there" Clemont said, pointing behind him. He had just come from that same cafe.

"Oh, thank you" Brock replied, when Suddenly---

"Hey! Love Connoisseur! Gym Leader!" A voice came from Clemont and Brock's side.

"Huh?" Clemont and Brock both looked at the source of the voice, which was their friend Cilan.

"oh! Cilan! You're here!" Clemont said, looking at Cilan.

"Wait-- you know this guy?" Brock asked Clemont.

"Yes! We've met before!" Clemont said to Brock.

"I've met him before too" Brock said.

"Oh, what a Tasty coincidence!" Cilan said, as he walked up to Clemont and Brock. "As if it was the strings of fate that made us meet here on this wonderful day! *deep inhale* Ahh---" He added, placing his one hand on his chest and the other high up in the air while smiling and closing his eyes.

"Y-Yeah---" Clemont and Brock said, sweat-dropping.

"Do you two know each other?" Cilan asked Clemont and Brock.

"Uh-- no--- He was just asking about the cafe we were going to" Clemont said.

"I'm meeting up with some friends there" Brock said. "You?" He asked Cilan and Clemont.

"What a coincidence!" Clemont said. "We were going there as well!" He added.

"Why don't we go together?" Brock said.

"Wow! A wonderful idea indeed!" Cilan said.

The Three walked back towards the cafe.

...

...

Over at the cafe---

Everyone were talking to each other, having drinks when suddenly Ash spotted Clemont, Brock, and Cilan walking up.

"Oh hey!" Ash said, as he got up from his seat. "Wait. Cilan?! Brock! Great to see you guys again! I didn't know that This was your friend, Clemont!" He added.

Brock, Clemont, and Cilan looked at each other, with popped open eyes.

"WHAT?!" The three said to each other. "HOW DO YOU KNOW ASH?!" they said at the same time while pointing towards each other. "WAIT! You KNOW ASH TOO!? HOW DO YOU KNOW ASH?!" They added, shifting and pointing their fingers at each other.

A few moments later---

Everyone was seated.

"So that's how you know---" Clemont said.

"Such a weird coincidence--- who would've thought we had a mutual friend all this time---" Brock said to Cilan.

"So Cilan--- why are you here in Kanto?" Ash asked.

"I've developed a new taste! Pokemon Showcases! I'm here to learn everything there is about Pokemon Showcases as they kick off the first season of rookie class showcases in a matter of days!" Cilan said.

"So let me guess---" Bonnie said. "You wanna be a Showcase connoisseur?" She asked Cilan.

"Correct answer!" Cilan replied, raising his hand up in the air, while closing his eyes. "Pokemon Showcases not only make their performers and Pokemon show their beauty, but they also make them show their style, elegance, intelligence, strategy, and much much more! It's a Tasty buffet blessed to us by the lord himself! It relaxes and warms my heart!" He added, dozing off.

"He sure acts the same" Bonnie said, sweat-dropping.

"Y-Yeaaa---" Everyone said, sweat-dropping intensely.

"So Ash! You're really close to the Kanto Queen, Correct?" Cilan asked Ash with stars in his eyes.

"Uh--- yeah---" Ash replied.

Cilan took a deep breath. "The fragrance of love is in the air! A recipe for dance, romance, dating, marriage, procreation!" He said, smiling with closed eyes.

Everyone's expressions turned blank, with popped open eyes. 

"This got weird real quick" May said, chuckling a bit.

*Everyone laughs*

Moments later---

*Beep*

Lillie quickly took out her PokeGear, and looked in it. It was a message from Gladion, with the details on the tickets.

"Ash! There isn't much time!" Lillie said.

"Wait what?" Ash replied. 

"The tickets! Our flight is just 30 minutes away!" Lillie said.

"WHAT!" Ash exclaimed, getting up on his feet. 

"I'll go get your Mom and Mrs. Yvonne, Ash! They said they're shopping nearby!" Brock said. "We'll meet you at the airport!" He added before running away.

"Let's hurry!" May said, as she also got up on her feet.

Moments later, inside the airport---

Ash was at the side, all alone with nobody around but his Pokemon Team: Greninja, Lucario, Pidgeot, Pikachu, and Charizard.

"Thank you, guys--- You're the reason why I won the Indigo league---" Ash said to his Pokemon. "But I guess it's time to say goodbye for now." He added as Pikachu came forwards and jumped up his shoulder.

Greninja, Pidgeot, and Charizard nodded, but Lucario just had crossed arms and was looking down.

"What happened, Lucario?" Ash asked. Lucario didn't respond at all. "I'll be back, Lucario. I promise. I'm not abandoning you." He said. Lucario didn't respond again.

"You know what---" Ash said, as he opened the palm of his hand and focused his powers. 

Ash's hand glowed, and then short waves of blue Aura started to come out of it, going upwards. The waves solidified, and formed a small Blue-colored Figurine of a Lucario.

"Here you go, Buddy" Ash said, as he handed the figurine to Lucario, much to his surprise. He then took out the wooden figurine of a Riolu that Lucario's deceased carer made.

"I want you to keep these with you. Whenever you miss me, just place your paw on this figurine and you'll be able to talk to my heart--- no matter where I am" Ash said. "Same for the rest of you---" He added, while looking at the rest of his Pokemon.

Lucario looked at the Lucario Figurine made from Aura Crystals in his hand and the Riolu Figurine made of Wood in his other hand. He formed a tear in his eye, and then quickly hugged Ash tightly.

"Ow! Buddy--- I'm glad that you like it--- but--- you have a sharp--- thing on your--- chest---" Ash said while resisting the pain, as Lucario hugged him tightly. He then released him.

"You know what---" Ash said, as he raised his arm ahead of his Pokemon. "Let's make a Promise" He added. All of his Pokemon hopped ahead and placed their arm/limb/wing/claw/paw on Ash's hand.

"When I come back from Alola, let's train hard so we can take on the Elite Four and go for the Title of the Indigo Elite Champion. What do you say?" Ash asked his Pokemon.

All of the Pokemon nodded in a serious and determined manner.

"Together. By working together, we'll become unstoppable, and one day, we'll all be standing tall, together as we get our names stamped in the Indigo Plateau Hall of Fame. Is that right? You with me?!" Ash said.

"Nin-Ja!" "Pidgeot!" "Grr--!" "Rrraah!" "Pi-Pikachu!" The Pokemon replied, nodding as they all raised their limbs up high, making this promise to each other.

Ash aimed all of his Pokemon's Pokeballs at them and called them back. He then turned towards a videophone next to him, where Professor Oak was visible. 

Moments later---

The last Pokeball glowed inside the booth and got sent back to the professor, and another Pokeball came in that exact spot.

Ash picked up the Pokeball, and looked at it. He then turned his sights on-screen at the Professor. "I've got Rowlet's Pokeball, Professor!" He said.

"And I've got Greninja's Pokeball as well!" Professor Oak replied. "Don't worry at all! I'll take good care of all of your Pokemon till you come back from the Alola region! They'll be fighting fit to take on the Elite Four!" He added.

"Thanks a lot, Professor! Bye!" Ash said, as he terminated the call. He then walked back towards his friends.

Over at everyone---

"You're going too?" Bonnie said to Max.

"Uh-- yeah---" Max replied, scratching his head. "May's gonna compete in the contests and uh-- I think I should cheer her on" He added.

"oh--" Bonnie replied.

"Okay, Bonnie--- I've got our tickets too!" Clemont said, as he came and joined.

"What?! We're going so soon?" Bonnie said.

"Well, everybody's leaving--- and I don't think it's a good idea to leave my gym in Clembot's care for this long without routine maintenance." Clemont replied.

"Okay---" Bonnie replied, lowering her head.

"What about you, Lillie?" Clemont asked.

"Mom's been boarded in a special seat--- It worked out surprisingly easy with all the International Police agents along them" Lillie said.

Ash walked up to everyone. "I'm ready as well" He said.

"Then let's board the plane--- the gates are already open" Lillie said.

"Y-You go on ahead--- I still haven't said my goodbye to Serena" Ash said.

"Wonder how long those medicals take" Clemont said.

Speakers: "This is a boarding call for Latias Airways flight H72 to Hoenn--- Check-ins are open."

"Looks like we're out" May said, raising her head and listening to the announcement.

"Well, good luck with the contest season, May!" Bonnie said.

"Thank you, Bonnie!" May said. "Thanks, everyone. It's been great meeting up and getting to know you all" She said to everyone.

"Same here" "Yeah" Everyone replied.

Brock came running, along with Ash's mom Delia and Serena's Mom Grace.

"Ash! My little Pokemon Master!" Delia said as she ran and gave Ash a hug.

"Mom!" Ash said, as he looked at Delia.

"You could've come home, you know?" Delia said.

"I'm sorry, Mom--- Today's the last day of my holiday--- Principal Oak wouldn't be happy if I skipped any more classes than I already have" Ash said.

"*sigh* It's okay, Ash---" Delia replied.

"Uh--- Ash---?" Grace said, looking around. "Where's Serena?" She asked in a worried manner.

"Oh--- Mrs Yvonne--- Serena was called for a medical check-up at the Medical center" Ash said.

"I really wish I could chat with everyone, but I can't wait any longer! I'll see you later!" Grace said, as she ran off outside.

Speakers: "This is the final boarding call for flight Latias H72 en-route to Hoenn. Please Check-in immediately"

May walked up to the boarding gate, and started getting her bag checked-in. Max didn't go.

"Everything all right, Max?" Bonnie asked.

"I-I actually got something for you---" Max said, as he took off his bag and opened it.

"Huh?" Everyone said, looking on.

Max took out a huge cardboard box from it. "I--got this for your Blastoise--- and you--" He said, as his cheeks lit up a little.

Bonnie took the box, as her cheeks lit up a little as well. 

"Open it" Max said. Bonnie opened the box, and looked inside of it. "It's a fold-able metal frame--- for your Blastoise's Megastone--- you told me that you were always worried it might fall out of his ear sometime--- so I thought this might help you with that" He added as Bonnie took out a Metal Frame that looked like it would fit on Blastoise's head like a crown.

"And---" Max said, as Bonnie's eyes widened. It was a silver bracelet, with a hole in it for her Keystone. "A Mega Bracelet--- " He added.

Everyone looked on in silence, as they saw the two 'fourth wheels' turn into first and second wheels in a situation.

Bonnie put the stuff back in the box, and closed it. "Th-Thank you" She said as her cheeks lit up.

"You're welcome--" Max replied, and turned around. He went towards the booth where May was standing and got his bag checked in as well.

The two Brother and Sister looked at the group and waved goodbye. May got up on the escalator, which took her up high. Max stood still, and looked on. He then turned around, and was about to step forwards--- when suddenly---

"WAIT!" Clemont's voice came.

"Huh?" Everyone said in a surprised manner.

Clemont quickly rushed towards Max and knelt in front of him. "Max! You're a keeper! Will you take care of my little sister for me?" He said, with an evil grin on his face while looking back at Bonnie.

"WHAT?!" Bonnie exclaimed in shock as she ran straight towards Clemont. 

"Wait. what?" Max said in a surprised manner.

"I-It was just a joke!" Bonnie said, blushing intensely. "Big Brother! This is so embarrassing!" She added while looking up at Clemont who was getting back up on his feet.

"And now you know what it feels like when you do it." Clemont said, adjusting his glasses. He then dusted his clothes and went back, leaving Max and Bonnie alone.

"What was that all about---?" Max asked Bonnie.

"It-It- was nothing!" Bonnie replied, blushing intensely.

Brock quickly took out his PokeGear and turned on the camera. He started recording. "Owww-- sneaky sneaky" Cilan said to Brock, looking at him starting his recording. 

"Oh--- so it was nothing---" Max said, lowering his head. "Bye then--- see ya--- maybe--" He added, as he turned around.

"Wait!" Bonnie said, as she quickly grabbed Max's arm from behind.

"Huh?" Max said, as he turned back and looked at Bonnie.

"I wanted to say that---" Bonnie said, blushing.

"Say what?" Max replied.

Bonnie was going to say something, but then she just quickly leaned forwards and---

Ash, Clemont, Lillie, Brock, and Misty had popped open eyes and reddened faces as they saw what just happened. Delia and Cilan looked on in awe.

"Aww---" Cilan said. "A Tasty goodbye! Literally!" He added, placing his hand on his chest.

Max stepped back, and looked at Bonnie's blushing face as the escalator took him upwards.

"Thank you for everything! Bye! Hope to see you again, Max!" Bonnie exclaimed, as she blushed intensely and waved goodbye to Max.

Max closed his eyes, and placed his hand on his cheek while smiling. He sighed and then-- "Thanks, Bonnie! Hope to see you again sometime! I'll visit Kalos! Make sure you visit Hoenn!" He exclaimed, waving his arm goodbye.

Everyone looked on, as Max walked off the escalator and left, disappearing into the boarding area. Bonnie looked at the box in her hand, and then smiled as she turned around and looked at everyone.

Brock quickly came running towards Bonnie, and then leaned in front of her. 

"Please accept me as your student, Ma'am!" Brock exclaimed. "With your knowledge and expertise in the subject matter, I might actually find love! All hail lord Bonnie" He added in a silly manner when suddenly---

*Pop*

"Crooo---GUNK!" Croagunk exclaimed as he used a poison Jab attack on Brock's crotch, causing him to fall towards the ground. 

"Not-- again--- agh---" Brock said while lying on the ground, shaking as Croagunk dragged Brock away.

*Everyone laughs*

Many moments later---

Speakers: "This is a boarding call for Flight Latias H71 en-route to the Alola Region. The gates will remain open for a few more minutes. Please check-in if you haven't already."

"It's time, Ash--" Lillie said. 

"No--- Serena hasn't come yet--- She'll be here any second now!" Ash said, looking towards the main entrance of the Airport. He then looked at his PokeGear, where he had sent countless messages to Serena but got no reply. "You go on ahead--- I'll come at the last minute." 

"Oh--- okay---" Lillie said, as she went forwards and got her stuff checked in. She came back moments later. "Okay, goodbye everyone! Thanks for everything!" She said.

"Goodbye" Everyone said.

"See you! Thanks for the help and the PokeGear, Clemont! I'll cherish it thoroughly!" Lillie said to Clemont.

"Y-You're welcome, Lillie" Clemont said, as his cheeks lit up a little. 

"See you soon, right?" Lillie said to Ash. Ash nodded.

"Bye!" Lillie said to everyone else as she stepped on the escalator.

Clemont walked ahead, looking up as Lillie rose and got higher and higher. She then reached the top and left.

"AHAAH!" Bonnie laughed, pointing at Clemont.

"Huh?" Clemont said, as he turned around and looked at Bonnie.

"You thought she'd come back and kiss you on the lips? Hahaha!" Bonnie laughed openly. "Only Serena can pull that off!" She added.

"Uh---" Clemont said, as his cheeks lit up with embarrassment. "Uh-- NO! We're friends! That's about it!" He exclaimed.

"You're so hopeless, big brother! Looks like I do need to find a keeper for you!" Bonnie exclaimed.

Everyone except Ash laughed. Ash had his sights set at the gate.

Speakers: "Final call for Flight H73 en-route to Kalos. Please check-in at terminal 3."

"Looks like we're going too--- " Clemont said. "It was nice meeting you again" He said to Cilan and then turned towards Ash.

Ash and Clemont looked at each other, and fist-bumped each other.

Ash turned back towards the gate, still waiting for Serena.

(In Ash's thoughts) "Where have you gone, Serena?" Ash said in his thoughts, looking at the gate.

Over at Serena---

Serena walked out of a room, holding a file she had wrapped in her arms as she hugged it while blushing intensely.

Producer Palermo's Assistance Stacey was there, waiting out in the hallways. "Miss Serena!" She said, as she approached her. "Did the tests go well?" She asked.

"Y-Yes---" Serena replied.

"Your PokeGear has been getting countless messages, Miss" Stacey said, handing the PokeGear to Serena.

"Huh?" Serena said, as she took her PokeGear and looked in it. Her eyes opened wide, as she read the text from Ash that he was about to board the plane. 

"I need to go! I'll be back soon!" Serena exclaimed, as she quickly ran towards the exit of the medical center.

*Music start*

Serena ran out of the medical center, and looked around. She quickly ran and crossed the road.

*Screech Screech*

voices from car drivers: "Ey! Look where you're going!"

"Sorry! It's an emergency!" Serena said, before continuing to sprint straight towards the Airport as fast as she could. 

Grace spotted Serena at the other side of the road, but Serena didn't spot her. "Serena!" She said, but to no avail.

In our never ending journey
The road has split apart
A chapter closes in a story
A finish to a start
And even though it feels like the end, my friend

Pedestrians: "Hey, isn't that the Kanto Queen?"

You know it's only the beginning
It's the beginning...

Serena continued running and making her way towards the Airport. (In Serena's thoughts) "Please wait, Ash!"  

Together we'll make a promise
To never forget it all
We've only scratched the surface
Of worlds we'll come to know
Together moving forward
Even though we're far apart
So safe and sound inside our hearts
We keep our word until we are together once again

Speakers in Airport: "This is the final boarding call for flight Latias H71 en-route to Alola. Please check in immediately."

Ash handed his bag at the check-in counter. He then sighed in a downed manner.

And if you hear me in a raindrop
I'm not that far away
You can see in your reflection
Another side of me
And even though we say goodbye, goodbye
We will never be alone
No we're not alone...

Brock: "Go, Ash. We'll tell her everything. Don't worry."

Delia: "Goodbye, Pokemon Master!"

Together we'll make a promise
To never forget it all
We've only scratched the surface
Of worlds we'll come to know

Security guard: "Sir--- please step forwards"

Together moving forward
Even though we're far apart
So safe and sound inside our hearts
We keep our word until we are together once again

"Guess she got busy--- She is the Queen after all---" "pi-kaa" Ash & Pikachu said, before turning around and stepping on the escalator.

So goodbye to you
And everything we went through
We made it to the ending and
The other side of the moon
Goodbye to you
We'll hold on to the memories
Of the good times

Serena runs into the airport, and looks at everyone remaining standing there. She looks up at a TV screen. 

TV Screen: Flight H71  - Latias Airways - Viridian City to Melemele Island - Departed - 30 seconds ago.

"NO!" Serena said, before rushing outside. She then looked up in the air, and dropped the medical report file she was holding. She could see the exact plane Ash was inside.

"Goodbye, Ash" She said, looking at the Plane.

Together we'll make a promise
To never forget it all
We've only scratched the surface
Of worlds we'll come to know
Together moving forward
Even though we're far apart
So safe and sound inside our hearts
It's all inside our hearts

Together we'll make a promise
to never for... (fade out)

*Song End*

*Bird Pokemon cawing*

*wind breeze*

Misty and Brock walked up to Serena from behind.

"Everything okay, Serena?" Brock asked.

"What's this?" Misty said, as she picked up the medical report file and opened it. "Hmm--- normal-- normal--- normal--- Uh---" She said, reading the health check-ups through the file when she suddenly stopped reading. She was in complete shock.

"What happened?" Brock asked, as he looked at the file. He read through it, and then stopped at the same spot.

"Serena--- does he know?" Brock asked with a serious expression.

"No" Serena replied. "Please don't tell him--- now that he's gone---" She added.

"No? But why?" Misty asked.

"He might feel guilty for leaving--- I can't stop him from doing something he loves so much." Serena replied, looking on at the plane in the air get smaller and smaller as it left the region.

"Don't worry--- we understand" Brock said in a serious tone, taking the file from Misty's hands and closing it.

(In Serena's thoughts) "Sir Aaron once quoted--- If you truly love something, let it go--- If you truly deserve it, it'll come back. And that's why, I'll wait for you, Ash--- I mean--- we'll wait for you--- Both of us---" Serena said in her thoughts, as she looked down at her belly and placed her hand on it. 

"See you again, Ash" Serena said, looking back up in the sky as the soft breeze blew on her face.

Over a Month later---

Ash and Serena were texting each other on their PokeGears.

Ash:  I don't get it--- what surprise do you mean?

Serena: You'll know when you get home  ^_^

Ash: Huh? What kind is it? At least give me a hint! 

Serena: No spoilers! :P

Ash: Okay then! Just can't wait to get back home and see you again! It feels way longer than the training in the past even though it's much shorter!

Serena: When are you coming back home, though? When is your flight?

Ash: No spoilers! :P

Serena: Ha-Ha-- very funny---

Ash: Well, I still have graduation day tomorrow. So a day is the bare minimum!

Serena: I really wish I had the time to come see you getting graduated ;_; Being an Actress and Performer at the same time takes out a lot of energy and time.

Ash: Ninja Heal technique! :P *Woosh!*

Serena: I feel so much better now! :P But I'll feel much better when I see you! <3

Ash: Don't worry, once I come back, you can see me all day and night!

Serena: Looking forward to it! Goodnight! <3

Ash: Goodnight! <3

--------------------------------

Days later---

Ash looked outside the window, as the Kanto Region appeared on the Horizon.

"Ready, buddy? We're finally going to be back home!" Ash said to Pikachu.

"Pi-Pikachu!" Pikachu said in a cheerful manner.

"Wonder what Serena will think when I surprise her this way" Ash said, looking at his PokeGear which was filled with old chats between the two.

...

...

Many moments later---

"Pallet town! Finally!" Ash said, before running ahead and straight towards his house.

"We're home!" Ash said, as he entered his house and closed the door behind him.

"Pika-Pika!" Pikachu said.

The baby breath flowers bloomed up outside, as the Moonlight shone on Pallet town.

.....

*Freeze Frame*

Narrator: "And so, another chapter ends as Ash completes his Journey through Kanto and Alola! What happens next? Find out! As the Journey continues!"
