Pidgey:Pidgeeeeeeey!!!
A pidgey tries to hit Mask with a Tackle but he dodges the attack and grabs the pidgey by its head before slamming him onto a tree as he then teleports and reappears behind three Pidgeotto's grabbing hold of all three before throwing each one of them to different directions
Mask:Alright now the only ones left are the—
One the two Pidgeot's shouts as he tries to surprise attack Mask with a Brave Bird but Mask turns around in time and stops the Pidgeot before it could land the hit
Ash:Nice try but not fast enough
Pidgeot:Geoooot!!
The other Pidgeot tried to get him with an Aerial Ace but Mask decide to put the two against each other and jumps over the pidgeot who tried to get him with Brave bird while still holding onto him before letting go and making him go directly at the other pidgeot as the impact of the two creates a small explosion that makes both of them faint
Mask: *sighs* That all? I was actually enjoying myself right now? did you guys also have fun?
Mask turns to other fainted pidgey's and Pidgeotto's
Mask:Yeah I'm sure you did
Kleavor: *appears in front of Mask* Klea
Mask:Ah! my old friend welcome back how are our targets doing?
Kleavor:Kleavor Klea Kleavor
Mask:Hmmmm is that so *takes out a pokeball and returns Kleavor* I'll handle the rest from here pal but don't worry you'll be back soon I promise *puts his pokeball away and starts walking away from the fainted Pokemon as he teleports away

"BURBLE!!!"
The sound of Babbles, Ripples and Trickles is heard from an area in the forest as we are first presented to the tall trees that can be seen all over the forest and some bushes that stand beside it but as we move away from them and into an open area that can be hit by the sun we find a white, frothy cascade of water falling into a plunge pool that being a called a water fall
"Poli! Poli!"
"Poliwhirl!"
"Poli! Po Po Po Po"
"Wrath! Poliwrath! Poli!"
"Politoed!"
Politoed, Poliwag, Pokiwhirl and Poliwrath
Near this waterfall was a group of all the Poli's evolutions in which they were having a party of some kind where Politoed was showing them a dance while the other Poli's watch happily and cheer for Politoed but you could also see some Poliwag's in the water having fun and laughing, Poliwhirl's were mostly sotting by enjoying the dance or talking amongst one another and lastly you have Poliwrath who seemed to be like the only one that was in the evolution which meant he was the leader of this group
Politoed:Politoed Politoed Poli Poli Poli!
Poliwag:PoPoPo Poliwag
Poliwag:Poli Po Poliwag
Poliwhirl:Whirl! Poliwhirl
Poliwag:Poli PoPo
Poliwhirl:Poli Poliwhirl *spots something in the sky* Poli?
Politoed:Politoed Politoe *stop dancing and like Poliwhirl spots something in the sky* Politoed? *points at what he sees* Politoed!
Poliwrath:Poli?
Poliwag:Poliwag?
All of the Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Politoed and Poliwrath look up to see something smoking and falling down towards where they are and as it got closer the group was able to get a clear view of what this was and to their surprise it was a Pidgeot and not just any Pidgeot but Ash's Pidgeot who's left wing was smoking and damaged but while she had that problem there was another which was the fact that both Ash and Pikachu were knock out and would not wake up so now she's holding onto both of them in her back has they fall
Taking a look back she sees that they are still both unconscious and when she looks forward again her eyes widen when she see that she's heading straight towards trees that are near a waterfall and with one of her wings injured she can't make a move to survive this fall so she does the unthinkable and use the move Twister to change the hold she has on Ash and Pikachu and while this was risky she was able to spin in the air to both keep Ash and Pikachu in the air long enough for her to turn around and then catch them with her wings as she then curls up into a ball and uses herself as a shield to protect Ash and Pikachu from all the tree branches that hit her back before appearing above the pool of water the Poli's are
Poliwrath:Poliwrath!
Politoed/Poliwhirls/Poliwag:Poli!!
Politoed and Poliwhirls all fire a hydro pump while the Poliwags fire a water pulse and together they hit Pidgeot not to harm her but to slow down her descend down towards where they are
Poliwrath:Poliiiii! *starts running towards the pool of water with an Ice Punch* Wrath!
Poliwrath using Ice Punch punches a spot that was below where Pidgeot was going to land and makes an ice platform for her to land into
Poliwrath: *looks at two Poliwhirls* Poliwrath!
Poliwhirls: *both nod* Poli!
Both Poliwhirls use Aqua Jet to dash straight towards Pidgeot and catch her with their hands before slowly descending down to the ice platform with her
Poliwrath:Po Po Po Poli!
Commanding them to let her go the Poliwhirls release Pidgeot and she lands safely onto the ice platform
Pokémon Translate time (been awhile since I've done this)
Once Pidgeot was safely placed on the ice platform one of her wings fell to the side which revealed Ash and Pikachu
Poliwhirl:A human? and Pikachu?
Poliwhirl:Was Pidgeot trying to protect them from the fall?
Poliwrath:If she was it would seem that she is quite loyal to her master
Politoed:We should try to wake her up we might get answers as to why this happen?
Poliwrath:Yes that was my next coarse of action *approaches Pidgeot and starts shaking her* Hey! wake up, Pidgeot wake up!, Pidgeot can you hear me? Pidgeot!
In Pidgeot's point of view she couldn't see anything all that was presented to her now was but a black void of nothingness
???:Ake up
Pidgeot:Hu-Huh?
???:Ot wake up
Pidgeot:Huh?
???:Pidgeot!
Pidgeot: *eyes open* Huh!?
Pidgeot had opened her eyes and the first thing she sees is a Poliwrath, two Poliwags and Politoed looking at her worriedly and calmly
Pidgeot:Hu-Huh? where-where am I?
Politoed:Don't worry miss your safe now and so is your master and Pikachu
Pidgeot:M-My master and Pikachu? *realizes what it meant* Ash!!
Pidgeot looks at where she had placed Ash and Pikachu and sighs in relief seeing that they are safe but sadly still unconscious
Pidgeot:Thank Arceus that they are safe
Poliwrath:You care about them?
Pidgeot:Yes they are like family to me
Poliwrath:I see but are you okay? that was quite the fall you had experienced there
Pidgeot:I-I've felt worse *slowly starts to get back up* but I can't stop now I must return Ash and Pikachu home so the others could help me protect him
Politoed:Wow there friend easy there you took quite the tumble when you got here you should first take rest before flying away
Pidgeot:I'm sorry but I have no time to rest when there's a malicious man after my friend here
Poli's:What!?
Pidgeot:Please help me out of the water so I may continue my journey back to my friends home and receive help from his other Pokémon
Poliwrath:Hmm alright but maybe you should also receive help from the Pokémon he may have now
Pidgeot:Yes! that would most certainly help try and see if you can find a pokeball on him they still be on his belt has that's where he normally keeps them
Politoed: *nods* Alright
Politoed volunteers to search and fortunately he was able to quickly spot and grab one of the other pokeballs Ash had on him as he grabs it and throws it in the air bringing out whatever maybe inside
Coming out of the blue light of the pokeball is a humanoid looking one revealing itself to be the Aura Pokemon
Lucario
Lucario:Alright what's seems to be the prob— *sees the group of Poli's, injured Pidgeot and unconscious Ash and Pikachu* what the! Ash! Pikachu! *goes straight towards the two to see if they are okay* who-who did this?
Pidgeot:A malicious man wielding a strong Pokémon and strange abilities which almost ended Pikachu's life
Lucario:What!? *stands up and looks at Pidgeot determined* where is this man!? I'll show him why he shouldn't hurt my friends!
Pidgeot:I do not know but we must hurry to his home to receive help from his other Pokémon as this man did not show the rest of it's team
Lucario:Tsk! that won't stop me
Pidgeot:I may not but Ash's has suffered a lot in only a short amount of time it seems so we must make sure he and Pikachu are safe first before anything
Lucario:I see. . . . . . who are you anyways?
Pidgeot:I'm Ash's Pidgeot you?
Lucario:Lucario
Pidgeot:Well then Lucario help get out friend home safe
Lucario:You got it *looks at the Poli's* can you help me get her out of water
Poliwrath:We were going to help even if you didn't ask
Lucario: *nods* Thank you
Poliwrath: *looks at his group* Alright everyone let's help them out
With that Lucario and the Poli's together were able to get Pidgeot out of the water and into land where she and Lucario split off the Poli's and start to now make their way through the forest where they pass trees, bushes and sone boulders and rocks
Pidgeot: *stretches her wings a bit* Alright I've gain back my strength I should have enough energy to fly us to either his home or the professors lab
Lucario:Are you sure? with his injured you are is it wise for you to fly again?
Pidgeot:I would take it slow if there wasn't a malicious man after our friend
Lucario:I understand
Pidgeot:Then if you understand get on my back and make sure those two don't fall off
Lucario:Roger that
Doing has he was told Lucario gets on Pidgeot and organizes Ash and Pikachu so they could have a safe flight and ones everything was set Pidgeot had spread her wings and taken flight
Pokémon translate end
Back in Ash's house
In Ash's house we find at the front door of the house a Pokémon that's cleaning the floor with a broom and this Pokémon is the mime Pokémon
Mr.Mime
Mr.Mime: *humming* Mime mime mime mime mime mime mime
Pidgeot:PIDGEOT!!!
Mr.Mime:Mime?
Mr.Mime stops his cleaning and looks out into the distance to spot Pidgeot making its way towards them so seeing it as if it was trying to say hello Mr.Mime smiles and waves back
Mr.Mime:Mr.Mime! Mime!
Pidgeot:PIDGEOT!
Lucario:LUCA!
Mr.Mime:Mr.Mime?
After more inspection Mr.Mime could see Lucario on Pidgeot's back holding onto an unconscious Ash and Pikachu making his eyes widen in shock as he quickly drops the broom and makes his way inside the house
Mr.:Mime! Mr.Mime! Mime!
Entering the room she finds Misty and Dawn on the coach ignoring each other and Brock and Delia where coming out the kitchen with aprons
Delia:Mimey what's wrong?
Mr.Mime:Mr.Mime! *motions them to follow him* Mr.Mime!
Delia:Mimey?
Brock:I think it's telling us to follow him outside?
Misty:What could be so important that his telling us to go outside?
Delia: *approached her Pokémon* He looks to be scared and also worried Mimey what's wrong? what did you see?
"THUD!"
Dawn:I think that answers the question
Brock:Let's go
Everyone goes outside and finds Pidgeot breathing heavily while Lucario safely and slowly got the unconscious Ash and Pikachu off her back
The group:Ash! Pikachu!
Delia:My baby!
They all ran towards them to make sure that they were okay
Time Skip
We find Ash in a dark purple void that was all around him and while he could still move there was nothing for him to reach here
Ash:W-Where am I? *looks at his surroundings* Pikachu! Pidgeot! where are you!!
No one responds
Ash:Just where am I? and why am I here?
"Weak"
Ash:Huh? who said that!?
"Worthless"
"Disappointing"
Ash:Wa-Wait I know that voice
"Pathetic"
Ash:Nononononono leave me alone!
From the dark purple void a smiling sinister face appears in front of Ash
"You will always be this things don't forget that brat!"
Ash:Why won't you just leave me!!
"Weak, Worthless, Disappointing and Pathetic don't forget this words brat! BECAUSE THOSE WILL BE THE ONLY ONES YOU'll EVER REMEMBER!!!"
The sinister face's eyes and mouth began to glow red as it approached Ash while slowly opening its mouth and all that could be heard was but the boy's scream
Ash:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!! *opens his eyes*AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!
"ASH!"
Ash was in a panic and it seemed like he was going to fall off the bad and start trashing his surroundings but he was stopped by Brock and another male individual that was in the room
Ash:HAAAAYHH! RAAAAH! HAAAAAA!!
Brock:Ash calm down!
???:Please calm down Ash there's no reason to panic!!
Ash:HAAAAAAAA!
???:Boys! hold him still!
Another male individual comes and injects something on Ash's neck as after a few wrestles from him he soon calms down and goes back to sleep as the one who injected him places the needle on table close to where Ash was placed and sighs
Professor Oak
P.Oak:Ash my boy what could have happened to you out there on your way home?
Tracey
Tracey:I think that's the question we all want the answer Professor but the only ones who know of what happened are Pikachu and Pidgeot and we can't exactly communicate with them
Misty:Where are those two by the way shouldn't they still be resting after all they seemed to be the ones who took most of the damage returning here
Brock:Their outside talking to rest of Ash's Pokémon all but one it seems *turns to corner and sees Lucario in a meditating position* Lucario remains here by Ash's side
Misty:He's probably worried like the rest of them making sure that whatever happened doesn't happen again
Brock:Yeah
Tracey:But that's the thing "what happened"
Dawn: *looks at Ash with a worried expression* It just doesn't make sense he was so happy and cheerful after his battle with Leon *clenches her fist and tears start building up* I should have returned to pallet town with him this all my fault
Tracey: *tries to comfort her* Come Dawn don't say that
Misty: *places her hand on his shoulder* His right you couldn't have known this would happen so don't blame yourself for this girl
Dawn and Misty hug each other and while they did Misty took a glance at Ash and tears could also be building up from her eyes as she worries for the state her friend is in
Misty: *mind* Oh Ash please wake up normally and come back to us please
Delia: *stands beside the bed of her son and roughens his hair* Oh my baby boy please be okay
P.Oak:Don't worry Delia Ash will be fine all that we can just hope now is that he wakes up to his old self
Delia:I hope that what's happens I don't like to see him in this type of states it-it hurts my heart seeing my boy be like this
P.Oak: *places a hand on her shoulder* I know
Lucario opens one of his eyes and see the state everyone's in making let out a sad sigh as he too like Dawn feels guilty with what happened
Lucario: *mind* (How could I let this happen even from that reached thing so here I should have sensed that he was in danger! so why is that while he was slowly being humiliated and mentally being damaged I remained resting in that Arceus forsaken thing!)
???: *in Lucario's mind* (Lucario can you hear me!)
Lucario: *mind* (Huh? Is that you!? Gre—)
???: *in Lucario's mind* (Listen to me! you must quickly wake up Ash! he is in danger right now and "he" is almost there!)
Lucario: *mind* ("He"? are you talking about—)
???: *in Lucario's mind* (There's no time to explain! use your aura to make Ash wake up! now!)
Lucario: *mind* (On it!)
Lucario in the real world opens his eyes and dashes towards Ash getting everyone's attention
Dawn:Lucario?
Lucario goes on the bed and incases his right hand with aura
Brock:Wait Lucario! what are you doing!
Lucario:Luca!
Lucario thrust his arm forward and palm Ash's chest with aura which in an instant makes Ash's eyes open wide and gasp for air
Ash: *gasp!* Lu-Lucario?
Lucario: *smiles* Lucario! *hugs Ash*
Ash is a bit a slow but soon hugs his friend back and ones their hug finished he receives a bone crushing hug from his mother
Delia:My baby boy! your okay!
Ash:Do-Don't worry mom I'm-I'm fine
After that hug he got off the bed and got double hugged by Misty and Dawn who let out their tears after seeing that he was fine
Ash:Um guys?
Dawn: *with tears* Just shut up and let us hug you you big idiot
Misty: *with tears* Yeah! you had us worried you know
Ash:Um-m *smiles and hugs back* sorry for making you worried then I-I'll try not to make you worry again
After that hug he got a quick hug from Brock and Tracey who shared the same worries as the others and then came Oak who placed a hand on the boy's shoulder
P.Oak:Ash my boy! it is good to see you in good spirits please try not scare us like that again got it?
Ash:I-I'll try Professor but after what happened today things might have to change
P.Oak:Hmm? what do you mean by that Ash?
Ash:It-It's just that *he tries to remember but the thought of what happen quickly makes Ash's eyes widen and fall to his knees*
Everyone:Ash!
Lucario acts fast and goes to help Ash back to his feet while looking at his master with a worried look that is shared with everyone else has the next person ti go help Ash was his mother
Delia:Ash dear what's going on? who did this to you and the others?
Ash:It's a man! a man wearing a mask * tears start to appear fast and start falling fast* he-he came out of nowhere and challenged me to battle but what we had wasn't a battle *looks at his mother with horrified and sad eyes* it was torture he hurt Dragonite and he almost made Pikachu disappear!
Everyone's eyes soon widen after hearing this but when came to Oak his eyes narrowed
P.Oak:Ash does the man that you battles have like a purple lighting bolt mark on the right side of his mask
Ash:Ye-Yes! that's him!
Tracey:Do you know who Ash is talking about Professor?
P.Oak:Yes I do know who this is but not personally more like informationally
Dawn:What do you mean?
P.Oak:Before the Ultra class tournament and two months after Ash had won the Alola league four strong trainers were reported to have gone through torturous battles like Ash
Everyone:Huh? / What? / who could have done this?
P.Oak:Two of this people were strong trainers while the other three are well known individuals such as Bruno, Drake, Lance
Brock:Did you just say Lance the champion?
Misty:And Elite four members Bruno and Drake!?
P.Oak:Yes
Delia:Then why did he challenge Ash!? what could he want from him or what did my baby do to deserve this kind of treatment from such a man!
P.Oak:I do not know but the fact is that Ash escape and he's in one piece
Ash:No
The room grew silent the second Ash spoke because the thing is that he didn't have a cheerful tone when he said that he actually spoke in a more lifeless and monotone voice
Ash:His after me and he won't stop until. . . . . our battle is over
Lucario:Lucario?
Dawn:A-Ash
Misty:Ash?
Brock: *mind* What did that guy do to you Ash?
Ash:. . . . . . . . Professor Oak is there a way for me to have all my Pokémon with me without having the limitations of only having six?
P.Oak:Why do you ask?
Ash:His after me and he'll do anything to make sure I battle him so to keep you guys safe and keep my Pokémon safe with me I want to take all with me somewhere where he won't find us
Everyone:What!?
Misty:Are you insane!?
Dawn:What do you mean Ash!?
Delia:Ash! Please don't say stuff like that! I don't want to see you get hurt so stay!
Ash:Mom I don't want to see you or anyone I care about getting hurt I almost Pikachu because of him *hugs his mom* I ding want to lose you
Delia:Ash
Ash:Please mom
Delia:. . . . . . . Alright just make sure you'll come back to me
Ash:I will *looks at Oak*
P.Oak:Gather your Pokémon in their pokeballs and wait for me outside
Ash:Right *looks at Lucario* let's go
Lucario: *nods* Luca
P.Oak:Tracey get the pokeballs
Tracey:O-On it
Ash goes outside and is greeted by his Pokémon who are happy to see him and while he was also happy he had to be serious now and so he explained what was happening and his plans which shocked them but they understood and once Tracey came out with the pokeballs Ash had quickly started returning each and every one of them into their pokeballs and he was about to be done has only seven Pokémon remained
Brock:I'm going with you!
Ash:You can't Brock *looks at his friend* I'm not putting any of you at risk
Brock:You'll need someone to cook and to heal your Pokémon so let me come with you!
Misty and Dawn:Us too!
Ash:Guys *returns another pokeball before lowering down his arm* I'm sorry but this time I'm going to do things on my own and thanks to you Brock I've been able to cook and to heal better my Pokémon not at your level but it should be enough
Brock:Ash. . . . . . . your like a brother to me like you I don't want to see you getting hurt we don't want to see the same thing happening to you
Ash:Thank you Brock but *smiles at his bro* I'm serious about this
Brock could see the worry and the determination Ash had so even though it was painful for him he nodded his head accepting Ash's requested at the girl's dismay
P.Oak: *Comes out of the door* Ash take this *passes something to Ash*
Ash: *grabs it* What is this?
P.Oak:I call it the "master dex" thanks to your journeys and the help of some comrade professors I've created a pokedex that holds information of all Pokémon and can give accesses to a trainer to bring has many Pokémon has he would want
Ash:In-Incredible *smiles at the professor* You've really outdone yourself this time professor!
P.Oak: *smiles* I only show the best
This moment would have been wholesome if an all to familiar whistle did not appear the whistle itself made Ash's eyes widen, send shivers down his spine, make a lot of his small hairs stand up and even made his leg start shaking a bit
Ash:No
Pikachu: *knows what going on so he tries to get Ash back to his senses* Pika Pi Pikachu Pika Pikachu!
Ash:Ri-Right *wipes the sweat of his forehead* I can't let him get me
Brock:What is this whistle
Misty: *looks at Ash* Ash is this him?
Ash:. . . . . . .
Dawn:Ash?
Ash:All if you go back inside *narrows his eyes* his only after me *looks back at them* so please don't deny my request
Dawn: *worried* Ash
Brock:. . . . . . Everyone go back inside we'll intervene if things become worse or bad for him
Ash: *nods* Alright
Oak, Misty, Dawn, Brock and Tracey all head back inside the lab as when they did Ash turned towards the forest as the whistle slowly began to become louder and a figure could slowly be seen coming out of forest
Ash:Are you guys ready
Pikachu: *jumps off his shoulder and stands in front of him* Pikaa!
Lucario: *gets in his stance* Lucario!
"Sceptile!"
"Infernape!"
"Krokodile!"
Charizard
Charizard: *roar!* CHAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!
Charizard let's our a mighty roar which could be felt everywhere in the area as shockwaves were launched off him but that doesn't stop the whistling it only ignites a new flame that appears behind a figure
"ARCANINE!!"
The whistling stops and Mask is now in full view with a dark flaming figure standing right behind him as he stares menacingly at Ash
Mask:You know I wasn't really expecting this from you *puts his hands in his pockets* go up and run away with all your Pokémon for what? you know I'll still be after you so why waste my precious time
Ash:Shut it! I won't allow you to hurt the ones I love!
Mask:Hmph! if that's how your going to be than hope those Pokémon you left their for me are strong enough for Kleavor
Charizard:CHAAAAAAARRR!
Sceptile:Sceptile!
Krokodile:Krookodile!
Lucario:Luca! Lucario!
Infernape:Infernape!
Pikachu:Pika! Pikachu!
Mask:Well aren't you all just lovely and Pikachu! got to see you bud! how the rips?
Pikachu:Pikaaaaa
Ash:Ggrrrrr I won't let you do as you please with them but that doesn't mean I wont let you follow us after we leave
Mask: *chuckles* My dear friend you just don't get do you? I not letting you leave and that's final *grabs three pokeballs* isn't that right Arcanine?
The flames stop and big figure jumps over Mask and lands in front of him revealing itself to be Arcanine but it wasn't a regular one this one was much different
Arcanine (Hisuian)
Arcanine(H):Arca!
Ash:An Arcanine? but it look so different from the ones with've seen
Mask:Surprises don't end there brat let me bring out three more of my friends!
Mask threw in the air two other odd looking pokeballs and a normal pokeball which opened and out of their blue lights one familiar Pokémon appeared
Kleavor:Kleavooooor!!!
Ash:Kleavor
Pikachu: *glares* Pika
Kleavor stood besides Arcanine's left while to his right the other Pokémon that appeared from their blue lights were also new ones as one was a tall feline figure with three sharp claws
"Sneasler"
And to Sneasler's right was Pokémon that had the resemblance of knight
"Ceruledge!"
Ash:What are those Pokémon? *takes out the master dex and aims it the four opponents*
Ash looks at the screen which scans all four of the Pokémon but out of all of them it was only able to appear the information of one of the Pokémon and that was Ceruledge while the others were unknown
Ash:What? I thought the professor said it had all known Pokémon information
Back in the house we find said Professor having the same shocked expression as Ash in both the appearance of this Pokémon and the master dex not having information about them but we soon go back out and see Ash press the image of Ceruledge that was on the screen
Master Dex:Ceruledge the fire blades Pokémon, a ghost and fire type Pokémon, Ceruledge dons an old set of armor steeped in grudges and wields blades made of fire and ghost energy. In battle, these blades transform into great swords to increase Ceruledge's power. Cuts from these great swords leave wounds from which life energy will flow.
Ash:I would be amazed if he wasn't the one using it *puts the master dex away*
Mask:You done with your research brat? because I'm just about to start this!
After he said that right on cue all four of his Pokémon charged forward without even given an order as we see Kleavor charge forward with X scissor, Arcanine with Head Smash, Sneasler with Quick Attack and Ceruledge with Butter Blade
Ash: *mind* He didn't even call out a move! *out loud* Pikachu use Iron tail and Krokodile use Dragon Claw on Kleavor! Charizard Dragon Tail I'm Arcanine! Sceptile leaf blade and Infernape Match punch on that one with claws and Lucario use aura sphere!
Laying down all the commands both side Pokémon's charge at one another which es h having a different collision than the other
Kleavor X Scissor clashes with Pikachu's Iron tail and Krokodile's dragon claw
Charizard tail collided with Arcanine head as the two enter a battle of dominance
Sceptile tries to slice Sneasler with Leaf Blade but she slides under the blade and then dodges Infernape's Match Punch before charging at both of them with Quick Attack landing the hit and sending them both backwards to the ground
Lucario fires an aura sphere at Ceruledge but it cuts through the attack with Butter Blade and then charges at Lucario with the same attack
Ash:Dodge it and use Bullet Punch!
Lucario barely misses the flaming sword and then lunges at Ceruledge with bunch of hits using Bullet Punch before throwing one powerful punch to the face which make Ceruledge stumble backwards before getting his footing
Mask:So that's how you want to play huh *mind* Ceruledge use Astonish
Ceruledge: *nods* Ceru *his surroundings start to get darker* Ceru Ceruledge Ceru Ceru Ceru
Lucario: *surroundings start to get darker and he starts hearing Ceruledge voice taunting him* Luca? Lucario! Luca!
Ceruledge using Astonish mimics his voice to appear all over Lucario making him hear him his taunts, laughs and harsh words as he slowly approaches and lands a flaming slash at Lucario who stumbles back grunting from the hit and out of panic starts launching punches and kicks all around him
Ash:Lucario!
Mask: *mind* Keep up the Astonish *turns to Kleavor* now Kleavor quit playing with your prey push them away and use Stone Axe
Kleavor nods his head and uses his strength to push Pikachu and Krokodile back with X Scissor succeeding in the move has both were pushed ten feet away from him giving him enough space to dash straight at Krokodile with Stone Axe
Ash:Oh no Krokodile! use Crunch to catch the Axe!
Krokodile appears energy like teeth in front of him which surprisingly works as he bites down on his axe which only flinches Kleavor who goes to use his second axe for the attack
Ash:Pikachu! use Iron tail again to protect Krokodile!
Pikachu:Pika!
Pikachu lunges straight upwards and blocks the second axe with Iron Tail holding his ground Pikachu stays in that position
Ash: *turns to the Sceptile and Infernape* Sceptile Quick Attack! Infernape use Dig!
Mask: *mind* Dodge the Sceptile's attack and wait for the Infernape to rise from the ground
Sceptile dashes at Sneasler with Quick Attack and Infernape goes straight underground and starts digging straight towards where Sneasler is as Sceptiles tries the land the hit on Sneasler it dodges the attack but Sceptile was able to bounce back using his tail and heads straight towards Sneasler while Infernape appears from behind and goes to surprise punch her from behind
Mask:Take'em!
Surprise by this Ash witnesses Sceptile land the Quick Attack and Infernape land his punch on the back of Sneasler head
Mask: *mind* Now use counter!
Sneasler in incased in a purple aura that surrounds her completely as it takes quick attack to elbow Infernape in the gut begird slashing him with its claws and then goes to Sceptile as it kicks it in the shin before slashing him with both of her claws sending him back like Infernape
Mask: *mind* Now use Dire Poinson on Sceptile *looks at Arcanine* push him back and use Rock Throw
Sneasler smirks as she dashes at Sceptile with her claws now glowing with a poisonous color
Ash:Sceptile use Leaf Blade and counter it's claws!
Sceptile summons his blades and was able to block one of Sneasler's claws but unfortunately he could not block the second one which gets him earning him a purple color on his face meaning his was poisoned
Ash:Sceptile no!
Sceptile falls to his knees feeling poisoned as he looks up weakly at Sneasler who's just looking down at him with a smirk while it licks the poison of one his claws
Sneasler: *giggles* Sne-e-e-easler
Sceptile:Scep! *tries to stand up but can't* tile
Ash:Infernape Flare Blitz!
Infernape was able to get back into the fight and charges at Sneasler with Flare Blitz trying to get a hit in by surprise but the planned failed ash Sneasler dodge the attack with Quick Attack and which leads to I get ape hitting Sceptile with Flare Blitz making it faint and before Infernape could even react he gets hit by Dire Poison as well before getting hit by bunch of slashes and kicks from Sneasler's close combat and Ash didn't see that as Ash's view changed direction when he heard something crash ti the ground he sees Charizard in the ground while Arcanine jumped in the air and fired a barrage of Rocks at Charizard using Rock Throw
Ash:Charizard!
Mask:Let's wrap it up!
He hears another thud and sees Lucario fall to the ground defeated by Ceruledge who stands victoriously in front of him
Ash:Lucario!
Kleavor having enough tosses Pikachu aside and hits Krokodile with Stone Axe on his back making the crocodile let him go before getting uppercut by the axe he was biting on and then getting hit by a strong X scissor that takes him down and as for Pikachu he lands on the ground and is shocked to see his friend already out as for Charizard he had enough and fires a flamethrower at Arcanine which does make the dog stop his attack and move away from him allowing him to stand up again
Ash:Charizard dodge!
Charizard heard his trainer's voice to late as before he could even do anything all four Pokémon of Mask attacked at ones with Kleavor starting off with landing a Stone Axe on both his shoulders making Charizard falls to his knees, Sneasler goes next and lands a double slash with Dire Poison at Charizard turning him poison, Arcanine later goes in and lands a head smash on Charizard's stomach pushing back so that Ceruledge jumps in the air and dashed straight at him with Butter Blade before appearing in front of the dragon has if he went straight through Charizard
Ash:Charizard! *watches as Charizard slowly falls to the side now knock out and defeated* nonononono
Mask:Just like that this battle has not brought anymore satisfaction how disappointing
Mask walks towards where Ash is which was where Charizard had fainted in front of the four Pokémon that took it down while being protected by Pikachu who had sparks in his cheeks while looking at the four Pokémon
Mask:You know when I saw that you showed different Pokémon that are not your own I really had hopes that you would bring me an actual battle now especially a Pokémon battle Royal style but I guess *right hand starts glowing purple* we can't all have everything has they say
Ash's friends and mom: *open the door and run out* Ash!
A sphere of some kind slowly appeared in Mask's hands but before he could do anything
???: *telepathic* Leave him!
Something aimed at Mask interrupts his next move has he is forced to dodge an incoming shadow ball and Flash Cannon by teleporting alerting his Pokémon who appear in front of him as he reappears but something else appears but not in front of Mask but in front of Ash
Ash:Huh? *sees a familiar face* is that you?
Mask:Phew! that was close one *takes his other hand out his pocket* so I have a question? WHO'S THE IDIOT THAT DID THAT!!!?
"ROAR!"
"Us"
From the smoke two beings could be seen standing in front of Ash
Solgaleo or Nebby
Mewtwo
Mask:Aaah Mewtwo and Solgaleo while this is the first time I encounter Solgaleo it has been awhile Mewtwo how's the cave? *dodges an incoming water Shuriken* okay who is this time!
Another Pokémon lands in front of Ash and this one he shared a good bond with
Ash:is that?
Greninja
Greninja:Ja! *launches a water Shuriken*
Mask:Will-O-Wisp
Ceruledge counters the water Shuriken with it's Will-O-Wisp making sure that it hasn't reach any of them
Ash:Greninja
Greninja: *turns to Ash and nods* Nin ja
Mewtwo:Ash return the Pokémon that have been defeated and go with Greninja and Solgaleo they will take you somewhere safe
Ash:Mewtwo
Mewtwo: *turns to Ash and speaks through telepathy* Hurry I will hold him off
Mewtwo turns away from Ash and charges at the five opponents that were after him firing a shadow ball straight at them
Mask:You've got to be kidding me! *stops Mewtwo's shadow ball and charges at him* make sure he doesn't escape!
Mask and Mewtwo clash with one another while the other four Pokémon charge at where Ash was which was returning his last three Pokémon which were Sceptile, Infernape and Lucario
Ash: *puts the four Pokémon that are charging at them* Watch out!
Greninja, Pikachu and Solgaleo turn around and see them approaching so they quickly got into fighting stance but before they could charge Mewtwo appeared in front of them and stopped them using psychic begird pushing them all away
Mewtwo: *telepathic* Go now! * blocks Mask's kick* while you still have time! *fires a shadow ball*
Mask: *dodges the attack by teleporting* Dammit!
Ash on the other hand returns all his Pokémon and he, Pikachu and Greninja get on Solgaleo as he quickly takes off flying
Ash: *pats pats and looks back to see his family and friends looking at him waving at him saying "goodbye" and to "take care" and "to be careful" meaning that they understood his reasons* Don't worry everyone I'll return and next time we meet I'll be much stronger and I'll defeat you Mask!
Pikachu:Pika! Pi!
Greninja:Grenin Ja!
Solgaleo roars in agreement as a portal appears in front of the group only that it wants an ultra portal no this portal was different this had an unusual golden light to it but that didn't stop the group from going in before it closing after they were fully in
Mask: *sees them go* Tsk! this isn't like her to do something like that
Mewtwo: *telepathic* She has her reason just like she has her reason of giving you that curse
Mask:A curse that I'll remove! after I'm done with her!
Mewtwo: *telepathic* We'll see but she did also send me to give you a message
Mask:Ohhohoho! a message? And what does this message tell might I ask?
Mewtwo:She says that you should leave the boy for five years so that he could train and get stronger to give you the challenge that you want
Mask:Hmmm? so she's telling me to leave him alone Huh? well *takes four pokeballs and returns all four Pokémon* I don't see why I should decline this if he'll get strong then I'll leave him be but know that the second those five years end *puts the four pokeballs away* I'm going after him
Mewtwo: *nods* She understands
Mask:Good *turns around and starts walking away* until we meet again failed experiment *teleports away*
Mewtwo grit his teeth hearing that but he decides to ignore the comment and teleport away and while Delia tried to stop both of them from leaving it was to late as both Ash, Mask and Mewtwo have disappeared and Arceus knows where could all of them be at this point now
