'The battle is on, Lysandre!' Ash had his gaze fixed on Lysandre as he shouted his words. Ash and Greninja fought the lasers and the grip which had them held up in the sky. The water around them increased causing winds to fly about. 'This is absolutely marvellous!' Lysandre was intrigued at what he saw. The others just had their eyes fixed on the scene, all awestruck. The water engulfed all the Pokémon which were captured and broke the capture balls which were secured on their arms and legs.

Greninja broke free from the enveloped water. He landed on the ground the with the jet of water coming out of its back. The water disappeared and turned into a shuriken. Ash's Pokémon landed on the ground harmlessly. However Ash had lost control of his landing. 'Ash! Oh no!' Serena shouted as his body fell to the ground. There was an abrupt flash in the sky which blinded the scene. 'What's going on!' Max shouted as he covered his eyes. Serena tried glancing at Ash's direction but couldn't see. The flash stayed for a further ten seconds before it died down.

Serena instantly looked into the direction where Ash was falling hoping for miracle. 'Thank God!' Serena breathed a sigh of relied as she saw him on Dialga's back. 'You can let me down, thanks buddy!' Ash smiled and patted the legendary. 'No problem master' Dialga replied. It descended to the higher ledge and set Ash next to his Pokémon. When he stood up her felt his knees buckle and was about to fall to his knees but for Alain.

'Ash.. Are you okay?' Alain asked as helped him up, 'thanks to you my eyes are open!' Alain added. 'Alain!' Ash said happily. 'Lets take down the leader!' Alain said with determination. 'Thats the spirit!' Ash replied. 'Charizard, I choose you!' Alain threw his PokéBall and released his faithful fire type. 'Well leader! I'll show you how strong I am by protecting what I love. I'll show by taking you down!' Alain balled his fists in front of him.

'Unbelievable! That single beam was enough for me to control Zygarde, and for you it is not enough! A unique specimen but it's unfortunate that I have to get rid of you and him as now you are not needed' Lysandre chuckled. 'You can't decide who to choose to live! No one can!' Ash shouted. 'What do YOU know?' Lysandre said, 'you've never experienced the true hardness of the world' Lysandre said.

'I was once a helping hand back in the day..'

Flashback..

'Please help us!' A man shouted, he looked desperate and injured. Lysandre examined him and then turned to Xerosic. 'Go get the truck' he said. Xerosic nodded and ran off down the path. A few minutes later a truck wheeled down the path and stopped behind Lysandre.

'Get in' Lysandre kindly said to the man. The man thanked him and went into the truck. He was treated and cured of his injuries during the travel. 'Who are you?' Lysandre asked keen on the man. 'Samuel Ketchum, how about yourselves' he asked. 'I'm Lysandre the boss of team flare and those are my clients' He replied pointing at everyone in the truck.

'Team Flare?' Samuel looked confused. 'We are a team that are planning for the greatness of the world. To create a peaceful and strong empire for us and the people' Lysandre said with fire in his eyes. 'Well good luck with your goal' Samuel replied.

The journey lasted for about ten minutes when they reached a city. It was a horrible sight. Cars were crashed. Buildings were collapsed. Injured bodies sprawled across the floor. 'What happened here?' Lysandre seemed bemused at the sight and turned to Samuel. 'A deadly siege from The Rocket gang' Samuel replied. When he said the word 'rocket' Lysandre's face grew evil and dark.

'But why in Kanto?' Aliana aksed, she is one of the grunts. 'Apparently there was a sighting of Arceus but he is our saint so we fought back' Samuel said. The truck stopped in the middle of town. A huge crowd gathered in front of them as all the civilians came with hopeful faces. When Samuel stepped out he was bombarded with questions.

'Did you find help?'

'Is there food?'

'Will they help us?' 

Samuel ignored them as his wife and Pokémons approached him. 'Samuel thank god!' His wife said. Then his Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder while his Charizard stood tall next to him. 'Well glad to see you guys doing alright' Samuel smiled and kissed his wife. 'Nice family you have your self' Lysandre said but had a quizzical face.

'Thanks!' Samuel said. Lysandre then stood on the roof of the truck. 'Hello people of Kanto! I am here to provide a helping hand as you are in need of one. I advise you to take refuge and we will come to you with supplies' Lysandre announced. There were half hearted cheers from the crowd who seemed impatient. They then dispersed into broken houses/buildings.

End of Flashback.

'They took my help for granted and kept demanding things like they were the ones that owned me' Lysandre grew angry and balled his fists. 'They were lucky to have your grand father.. Otherwise I would have ended them myself. Foolish humans! Only make demands!' Lysandre shouted. 'If my grandfather did it so can I!' Ash said.

'Well we'll see about that,' Lysandre said. 'Gyrados, Zekrom and Zygarde  burn them to Ashes!' Lysandre shouted and threw his two PokéBalls while Zygarde shuffled it's way to the scene. The trio Pokémon appeared from their PokéBalls and roared in anger. 'Zekrom?' Alain was amazed that the legendary of Unova stood before them. 'Never underestimate the power of Team Flare!' Lysandre said.

'It doesn't matter who we face! Are you ready guys!' Ash shouted. All of his Pokémon replied with battle cries. 'Charizard we'll show them real fire power! Surpass evolution, mega evolve!' Alain shouted and held up his wrist. The roof glowed as the kanto starter mega evolved in to Zard X. 'Hmph.. Gyrados mega evolve as well' Lysandre casually said and held up his hand. The place gloomed once more as another Pokémon surpassed the final stage of normal evolution.

'Drapion grab her!' Celosia shouted from the elevator. The drapion headed straight for Serena. Ash turned and saw the rushing Pokémon. His anger boiled in his body. 'Dialga roar of time!' Ash shouted in anger, his eyes turned red. Dialga roared and let out a huge beam and stopped the drapion from moving.

'Thanks Ash but I'll take it from here!' Serena shouted. 'Delphox I choose you!' Serena shouted. Delphox came out of her PokéBall and stood in battle stance. 'We'll she's got back up!' Bryony came from behind as well as Aliana and 3 more grunts came. 'Well so has she!' Everyone turned to the lift and Clemont  and professor oak stood there.

'In fact more!' Misty shouted. 'Gyrados your up!' She released her Gyrados. 'Count us in!' Dawn and May both shouted. 'Blaziken fire power! Lets go!' May exclaimed. 'Empoleon, spot light!' Dawn twirled on the spot and released the sinnoh region starter. 'Roselia lets get em' Drew casually said and released the grass type.

'You better take care of them! I have better things to deal with,' Lynsadre turned towards Ash and Alain. 'You leave me no choice!' He shouted. 'Charizard come out! Mega evolve' Red shouted. His charizard mega evolved into Zard Y. 'Red? What?' Delia asked confused. 'Look I'll help the boys! You help them, okay?' He said and gave her a kiss. He then flew up to the ledge where the main battle was held. 'I can do this, Latios I choose you!' Delia shouted and threw her PokéBall and revealed Latios.

'You have a Latios?' Ash exclaimed. 'Long story! But let's get the show on the road.

'I thought you went with those kids? Darkria use thunderbolt!' Achille shouted. Darkria got a successful hit on Rayquaza but the legendary flew around like it received nothing. 'No I did not feel right to tag along them' Diantha said. 'Its not time to talk let's kick some ass, Garchamp use dragon claw!' Cynthia shouted. Garchomp destroyed one of the grunts Mightyena but more and more kept coming.

'Come on Blastoise get up and use hydro pump!' Gary said desperately but Palkia dodged the attack. 'Cover him electivire and use thunderbolt!' Paul said rather angrily. The attack skimmed it's wing but the legendary still flew around before releasing a spacial rend. 'Use rapid spin and send it back!' Gary took a gamble. Blastoise hugged it self back into its shell and spun around rapidly. The spacial rend bounced of the it's shell and deflected back at Palkia. Palkia took it into the stomach. 'Wow that was.. Not pathetic' Paul said. 'Blastoise hydro pump!' Gary shouted. Blastoise released the jets of water from its canons and hit palkia.

'Electivire add more and use thunderbolt!' Paul said. 'Blastoise you too! Hydro pump again!' Gary shouted. The two moves combined and formed an electrical water current. Palkia hovered in the sky unable to move. However to its great fortune, Giritina recovered and blocked the two moves with dragon breath.

'What the FUCK!' Gary and Paul both shouted in frustration. Girantina smirked at the duos reaction. 'Go back and fight diantha and don't interfere with Palkia!' Gary shouted angrily. Girantina had a sad expression and flew back in front of the two champions. 'Jeez, oh for balls sake!' Gary said as Palkia attacked his Blastoise. 'Come on get up!' Gary said desperately.

Palkia then flew off as Blastoise stood back up. Gary looked confused but then saw the on rushing hoard of Mightyena's. 'Calem I thought you had them!' Gary said. 'There are too many!' Calem said annoyed. 'Paul let's help, Blastoise rapid spin!' Gary said. His blastoise span around and crashed into the huge crowd. Some of the Pokémons went flying away. 'Electivire use thunder punch' Paul said calmly. The fist of his Pokémon was enveloped in thunder and started to punch the other third of the pack. 'Lets add, Chestnaught use vine whip!' Calem commanded. Chestnaught releases vines from its shoulder and smacked against more of the Pokémon's.

'Come on lads we need more! Blastoise use hydro pump and rapid spin together!' Gary said with fiery eyes. Blastoise huddled inside its shell once more but it's cannons were visible. It started spinning and spraying water all around clearing their area. 'Electivire thunder punch on the ground!' Paul said. His pokemon punched the ground and the electricity streamed forward and shocked more of the pack cleaning his area. 'Oh yes, chest naught use leaf storm!' Calem said. A huge leaf storm spawned in front of him and knocked back more of the pack and cleaning his area but next to them the PokeNation was bombarded with more of them.

'Honestly I think we are better than them!' Gary pointed the PokeNation army. 'Yeah we make a good trio!' Calem said looking at the other two. 'I have to admit you guys are pretty strong' Paul said but didn't give eye contact. Just then Palkia came back and hovered in front of them. It looked more refreshed and healed.

'Well the gay pink boy is back' Gary smirked trying to unnerve the Pokémon. 'Hahah good one!' Calem creased. Palkia then released a spacial rend at Calem but Gary intervened with Blastoise, 'use dragon tail and knock it down!' Gary shouted. Blastoise's tail illuminated and smacked the spacial rend into the ground. 'GCP stick together!' Gary shouted.

'GCP?' Paul asked. 'Oh, Gary, Calem and Paul. The greatest trio.' Gary explained to Paul. 'Well let's show him the greatness and knock him back to space!' Paul replied. 'YEAH!'

'Delphox use flame thrower on that drapion!' Serena commanded. Delphox opened its mouth and released fire energy which got a direct hit on Drapion. 'No way! Drapion use thunder fang!' Celosia shouted. Drapion lunged at Delphox with its electrified teeth. 'Dodge it and use willow o'wisp' Serena shouted. Delphox jumped over Drapion and landed behind it. It then grabbed it's stick and released a blue flame at Drapion. 'Block it with X Scissor!' Celosia said desperately. Drapion swivelled and crossed its 'arms' into an X and sent the move. The two attacks collided and making an explosion happen between them.

'Blaziken use close combat!' May commanded. 'Empoleon use water gun!' Dawn shouted. Blaziken sped towards Scyther while Empoleon released water from its mouth. 'Scyther use X Scissor as well!' Bryony shouted. The Scyther managed to block the water gun but received fatal blows from Blaziken. 'Scyther use double team and quick attack!' Bryony shouted. Scyther made copies of it self and started sprinting at the two Pokémon. 'Blaziken use blast burn!' May shouted. The flames on blaziken grew as it smashed the ground. It destroyed the copied but the Scyther managed to attack Empoleon. 'Oh no Empoleon use hydro pump!' Dawn commanded. Empoleon got up and hit the Scyther with large amount of water energy released from its mouth. 'Alright!' May and dawn high five each other.

'Gyrados let's join the party, use Dragon pulse!' Misty called her attack. 'Machamp dodge and use mach punch!' Aliana called out. Her Machamp side stepped the dragon pulse and sped at Gyrados. It lunged at the water and dragon type and punched it in the neck. However Gyrados just smirked at Machamp. 'Use water gun!' Misty yelled. Gyrados looked down at the Machamp and engulfed it in water. 'Machamp get up and use Close combat!' Aliana seemed pissed. It spat out water from its mouth and started punching Gyrados several times. Gyrados looked shaky from the punches. 'Carry on and use thunder punch' Aliana smirked. Once the punch made contact Gyrados, the water and dragon type screamed in pain. Aliana smirked at Misty, 'over confident hone' Aliana teased. 'Gyrados come on!'

Lysandre smirked, 'your friends are useless against qualified Team Flare members.' 'Oh yeah well they will show you what they are capable of! Alain said angrily. Mairin was holding onto him in fear. 'Well your just as hopeless as well' Lysandre smirked at Alain. 'You will regret those words' Ash said. 'Greninja use Cut! Pikachu use thunder bolt!'
