pokemon Fighting Dreamers

Back in Alola.

"VIC!" Gloria shouted running to her brother and giving him a hug while he arrived at the port along the rest of Roxie's squad. "I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too!" Victor replied hugging her as well."

"There, you didn't expect us to miss your birthday, now did ya?" Marnie asked while she approached them and patted Gloria's head.

"Well, how has everything been so far?" Victor asked. "All good with Ash?"

"Everything's perfect." Gloria answered. "I swear I've never been happier in my life."

"Well, I'm happy to hear that." Victor answered.

"So you're Gloria, huh?" Rosa asked approaching her as well. "Heh, Vic never stops talking about you. Name's Rosa Whitley, this is my sister Hilda."

"Very nice to meet you." Hilda added. "I've heard you're a very strong trainer, how about we put that to the test?"

"You guys can leave that for later." Roxie said walking in as well. "I'm beaten from that travel, I need to rest, nice to see you, Gloria. Where's Ketchum?"

"He's right behind..." Gloria turned around to see nobody behind her. "Oh, I guess I still outrun them rather easily... He's also still a bit tired from last night."

"Last night?" Victor asked.

"NOTHING!" Gloria shouted with a massive blush.

"Hey, wait, where's Miku?" Marnie asked.

"She said she'd come down in a moment." Hilda answered.

"Yeah, she was checking on something, I think." Rosa added.

"That girl is a little odd, isn't she?" Roxie asked with a smirk.

Meanwhile on the cruise.

"So, uh, Glyph." Miku talked to the Sigilyph. "I just noticed something, uh, I don't think I have a plan."

"What do you mean with plan, your highness?" Glyph asked. "I thought you would simply inform the Chosen One about the kidnapped Genesect."

"Yeah, like, that is the plan, but... Then what?" She asked. "I mean, I already made up this Miku disguise and Cress gave me all this stuff in this bag including this glove, which means I can stay as a human for as long as I want, so, uh, father already told us Ash has been getting many partners, you know? And I can't stop thinking about what Cress said, that apparently they want to 'offer' me as one of his brides."

"Yes, Lady Cresselia informed me of everything when she assigned me to be your helper." Glyph said. "I expected you to be rejoiced by being betrothed to the Chosen One."

"Yeah, I mean, Ash is cute and everything, but... Uh, how do I put this?" Miku wondered placing a finger on her chin. "Oh, right, I'M A POKEMON AND HE'S A HUMAN!"

"Well, there was once a time when Human and Pokemon-"

"Yeah, yeah, I've read the book, that's not the point." Miku interrupted. "Like, Tapu Fini had her life with that human and all, but from what I've heard, she never had the guts to tell him that she was a Pokemon, I'm not sure if I should do the same."

"So you do wish to join the Chosen One's maidens?" Glyph asked.

"I'm not saying I don't, but I imagine it'd be weird for Ash, you know? And even if I just don't tell him, I'm not sure if I can just lie to him for as long as we're together." Miku said. "And adding to that, I don't even know the exact conditions of this body, like, can I... You know, uh, procreate with him?"

"I'm afraid I don't have the answer for that, your highness." Glyph answered.

"I'm honestly afraid to look down there." Miku sighed. "Oh, well, I'll figure out what to do later, for now, I'll just try to act calm when I see him, I don't want him to suspect anything for now, I know it's been a while since we last saw each other, but..." Miku looked overboard down to the port to see Roxie's group still talking with Gloria, until she saw Ash arriving along with Flannery, Korrina, Bea and Meray, the latter two still wearing cheerleader outfits. "Ash..." Miku smiled at him and blushed by his sight. "This is... Different." She said holding her chest. "Different from how I felt with him back then... Is this what it's mean to be human?"

"Do you feel well, your highness?" Glyph asked.

"Yeah... Let's go with him, Glyph!" She shouted before running the port and Glyph followed her.

Down at the port.

"Vic, Marnie, it's been a while." Ash greeted them.

"It sure has, glad Gloria and you seem to be doing fine." Victor answered. "Where are Nessa and the rest though?"

"And your Pikachu?" Marnie asked.

"They're on their way to the mansion." Bea answered. "It's a long story, the point is that our group has gotten a bit too big to simply walk outside like it's nothing."

"I see..." Victor trailed off.

"So you've been busy, Ketchum, huh?" Roxie asked. "I've been keeping in touch with Gloria here, you know? If I remember correctly, there's 11 now."

"13 actually." Ash answered to then point at Flannery and Korrina. "With those two."

"Hello there, folks." Flannery said.

"Nice to meet you." Korrina added slightly embarrassed.

"What are you talking about?" Rosa asked.

"Oh, come on! It's the most obvious thing in the world!" Hilda shouted. "Ugh, nevermind, nice to meet you, Ash, we're the Whitley Sisters, Hilda here, you can call me Unova's ass, I don't mind, and that's Rosa the airhead with big boobs over there."

"Hey!" Rosa complained.

"Anyway, we came here because we wanted to ask you something really important." Hilda said walking to Ash and placing an arm over his shoulders. "Wanna have a threesome with us?"

"Hilda!" Rosa shouted.

"Pfft, chill out, it was a joke." Hilda said to then lick Ash's cheek. "Unless you don't want it to be."

"Cut that off!" Rosa shouted grabbing her sister by her wrist and pulling her away from Ash. "You can't just lick someone like that without permission!"

"My, don't tell me you're jealous, Sis." Hilda told her and Rosa simply pouted with a blush.

"ASH!" Miku shouted running to them and jumped to Ash to give him a hug. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, look at you! You're so tall all of a sudden, I-I mean, you were always tall, at least in comparison to me, that is."

"Do I, uh, know you?" Ash asked.

"Oh, right! " Miku exclaimed taking a few steps back. "Uh, I mean, you could say or you could not, you see, I'm... We met... In Unova!"

"We did?" Ash asked.

"Yeah, we... At the league!" She shouted. "Hehehehe, yeah! I was there in the stands, w-w-when you were walking to the stadium I waved to you."

"Uh... Ok?"

"Sure, Ketchum, this is Miku." Roxie said. "She said she had something important to discuss with you so I brought her along."

"And what would that be?" Ash asked.

"It's, uh, not that big of a deal." Miku answered. "But I'd prefer to tell you in a more private place, if that's okay."

"Well, I guess you can come with us and-" Ash was interrupted by a ring from his Rotom Phone and he pulled it out of his pocket, smiling once he saw who was calling. "Clemont! Hey, nice to-"

"Ash, listen, we don't have time!" He shouted. "I'm not 100% sure of what's going on, but someone attacked us, Alexa is injured and I think Drasna and Malva are in danger!"

"THEY'RE WHAT?!" Flannery shouted before the group heard an explosion and turned around to see black smoke coming from a tall building. "That's the Hotel they're staying at!"

"Then let's move!" Ash shouted running on that direction and being followed by both groups.

A few moments earlier, at Malva and Drasna's room in the Hotel.

"Continuing with the report of the La Sante Prisión of Kalos, the reinforcements have finally arrived." A news anchor explained on the TV, both Tina and Malva were watching, while Drasna had left for a reunion with the other Elite Four Members. "The inmates are all being recaptured, although some seem to have escaped out of reach for the moment, one of those missing was the former head scientist of Team Flare, Xerosic, but he was found dead moments ago, with his body completely mauled with injuries that could've only be dealt by a Pokemon, on another topic, Lumiose City was lucky that their Gym Leader, Clemont Citron, managed to create a dome that protected the City and stopped any criminals from getting inside and taking it over, although the exact cause of the breakout is still being investigated, we'll keep informing as the situation goes on."

"Well, good thing everything seems to be under control now, right?" Tina asked while Malva blankly stared at the TV. "You okay, Mom?"

"Tina... You know the things I did, right?" She asked.

"Uh, yes, Mom told, uh... Miss Drasna already told me all that, about Team Flare and you being in jail." Tina answered.

"And that... Doesn't bother you?" Malva asked. "Aren't you... You know, scared of me? Even a bit?"

"If Miss Drasna forgave you and married you even after all that happened, then I know I have nothing to worry about." Tina answered. "And you've been an awesome mother so far."

"Yeah, once I remembered that I had adopted you." Malva sighed. "I'm really sorry about that again, I know you would've preferred a more normal adoption."

"Well, had it been a 'normal' adoption, we probably wouldn't have met." Tina answered. "We both happened to be on that beach at the same time and it all worked out, didn't it?"

"Heh, I guess." Malva replied giving her a hug. "Who knows what could've happened if you hadn't found me in that beach too, I was too drunk for my own good... And Tina, just you know, out of all the gifts we got in our wedding... You're the best one by far."

"Thanks a lot." She replied hugging her as well. "I'm so glad I found you."

"Me too, kid." Malva said a smile before she suddenly tensed and stood up.

"Mom?" Tina called her and saw Malva looking at her arm, seeing it full of goose bumps.

"No, no, no, no." Malva said holding her head before falling to her knees. "Not her, not now!"

"Mom, what's going on?!" Tina asked.

"Tina, you have to leave!" She suddenly shouted grabbing her by her shoulders.

"What? B-B-But why?!"

"Get out of here!" Malva shouted again.

"I-I can't just leave you!" Tina shouted and the two heard a whistling sound before one of the walls of their room exploded and Emma appeared in scene.

"Malva Moore..." Emma stared at her while the woman stood up and hid Tina behind her. "We need to talk."

Meanwhile at the bottom floor of the hotel.

"Alright, Clemont, what are we dealing with?" Ash asked him.

"Listen, it's a girl wearing a black suit with a helmet that has a glowing letter E in the front, I don't know how, but she can use Pokemon Moves, she knocked out all my Pokemon in one hit and even defeated Squishy in his 10% form rather easily, she disguised as Drasna using an illusion and came to the Gym asking for Malva, she could've killed us, but Alexa saved us and that girl injured her with a Poison Move, we've been trying to treat her with antidotes, but it doesn't seem to be working, as for that girl, we saw some news and it seems like she just killed Xerosic, also it looks like it hurts her to be without her helmet, my advice would be to try and remove it from her, but be careful."

"Got that. Please, take care of Alexa, hopefully this girl will tell us how to treat that poison." Ash said to then look at the group behind him. "Alright, if that girl can fight Pokemon then we won't use them to avoid more collateral damage, Bea, we'll try to fight her with your sword and my shield, we'll focus on protecting Malva and Drasna, but if we can take her down, we'll do it."

"Yes, sir." She answered summoning her sword again.

"I'll also go!" Meray shouted. "P-Please, my aura is not much, but I should be able to help."

"Fine, but I want you to stay behind me, everyone else stays here." Ash said.

"I'm also going!" Flannery shouted. "Those are my aunts and cousin, you idiot!"

"If Flannery's going, I'll also go!" Korrina shouted.

"I'm also going!" Gloria shouted.

"No, you're not!" Victor shouted holding her by her wrist. "You heard him, that girls has frickin superpowers!"

"I'm sorry, Gloria, but that's true." Ash said. "You guys should leave, by the looks of it, that girls seems capable of bringing down the whole building."

"Then we'll help evacuate the hotel!" Rosa exclaimed.

"Oh, come on, this ain't our problem. We just got here." Hilda answered.

"Eh, we can do that much, right, Miku?" Roxie asked to the girl, but saw she wasn't next to her anymore. "Uh, Miku?"

"Let's get going!" Ash shouted running upstairs followed by Bea, Meray, Flannery and Korrina.

"But guyyyys." Gloria complained.

Back with Malva.

"Esse... Emma." Malva said.

"You know my real name? I'm flattered." Emma answered rolling her eyes to then see the TV they were watching, still showing the news of the prison breakout. "I see you've been keeping in touch."

"You... Did that to Xerosic, didn't you?" Malva asked.

"Don't tell me you're surprised." Emma asked to then stare at Tina. "Who's that?"

"... She's... my daughter." Malva answered.

"Ah, right. Drasna and you." Emma said. "Let me guess, she took you out of prison and you've been making up this facade with her."

"That's not true." Malva said. "I really love Drasna, she's... She's more than what I deserve... And this girl is too, Please, just... Don't hurt her."

"...Tell her to leave." Emma said.

"Y-You heard her, Tina." Malva said.

"I'm not going to leave you with her!" Tina shouted.

"Listen, I'm just trying to protect you." Malva told her. "This girl is dangerous."

"But I-"

"Tina, listen, my whole life has been filled with bad decisions, but adopting you wasn't one of them." Malva said. "If protecting you is the last thing I get to do then that's fine by me."

"No!" Tina shouted before standing in front of Malva. "I just got a mother after waiting for my whole life, I'm not gonna lose her! Flame Charge!" She shouted tossing a Poke Ball and her Flareon charged at Emma using the attack, but the girl simply extended her arm and grabbed Flareon by his neck, stopping the attack and releasing a Discharge while Flareon cried in pain until he stopped moving and Emma left him to fall to the floor unconscious before she slowly starting walking to then.

"T-Tina, please leave." Malva said again.

"No!" She shouted before hugging Malva and looking at Emma. "If you want to hurt her, you'll have to get through me!"

"You're saying it as if that would be a challenge." Emma answered to then sigh and stop once she was barely a few steps away from them. "I've had enough problems today, I don't want to hurt another innocent... But your mother isn't that, she knows what she did and I imagine you know too."

"That doesn't matter!" Tina shouted. "She's been making amends! She's a good person now!"

"We'll see how true that is." Emma said. "I suppose you can make yourself an idea of why I killed Xerosic."

"You..." Malva hesitated before sighing. "You wanted him to remove your powers... And he told you that he couldn't do it."

"Smart as always." Emma said. "You know what else he told me? That you, as the second-in-command of Team Flare, could know better than him about that topic."

"Second..." Tina whispered to then look at Malva. "You were Second-in-command? O-Of all those horrible things that happened."

"I-I'm sorry, I-"

"So, what's it gonna be?" Emma asked. "Do you know or not?"

"I... No, I don't." Malva said. "I'd like to tell you that I know or maybe even lie to you and win some time, but... No, what Xerosic did to you can't be fixed, your body structure is permanently altered, there's no way to turn it back to what it was."

"I was afraid you would say something like that." Emma sighed before forming another Poison Sting on her knuckle. "I'll say it one last time, tell your daughter to leave, she doesn't have to see this."

"Tina, please!" Malva shouted.

"NO!" Tina shouted to then look at Emma again. "W-Why do you want to kill her?! If she can't do what you're asking for, then you don't win anything by killing her!"

"I don't care to win anything anymore." Emma answered. "I just need Team Flare to lose. After all you did to me, after all the people you killed and harmed, if you were willing to ruin so many lives, you don't deserve to live yours either."

"... She's right." Malva whispered.

"No, she's not!" Tina shouted. "Mom believed you deserved a second chance! You also have to believe it!"

"Tina... Let me do something good, for once in my life." She whispered before grabbing the girl by her sides, lifting her up and tossing her to a wall.

"I'm here, alright?!" Malva shouted at Emma in tears. "Just do whatever you'll do and go away! Leave my daughter alone!"

"Your call." Emma answered and prepared herself to dash to her.

"Mom!" Tina shouted and was about to run to her again, but the door of the room was suddenly brought down by Ash and Bea entered with their red shield and blue sword in hand.

"Ash, give me a platform!" She shouted.

"On it!" Ash knelt down and placed the shield over his head, letting Bea jump on top of it before pushing her up, sending her through the air as she aimed a slash at Emma, who put her sight on her to prepare a counter with her Poison Sting once Bea fell, but at the same time, Ash ran at her with his shield in front of him and Emma ended up trying to punch through Ash's shield, but this easily withstood the hit and her needles broke upon contact.

"WHAT?!" Emma shouted perplexed before Bea finally fell down, landing a slash on her arm before kicking her away.

"TINA!" Malva shouted running to her and taking her into a hug. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay, I-It's... We're okay." Tina whispered as she trembled.

"You guys!" Flannery shouted entering the room along with Korrina and Meray, taking Malva and Tina in a hug. "A-Are you two okay?!"

"Thanks to your boyfriend, that is." Malva said looking at Ash and Bea while Meray ran to them and stood behind the duo, while Korrina stayed behind with the Moores.

"You... Cut through my suit... And my skin?" Emma asked seeing her arm was bleeding out, but still feeling no pain. "And you blocked my attack... Who are you?"

"For introductions, we're the sword and shield heroes." Bea said.

"I don't believe in heroes." Emma said.

"Then I'm sorry to tell you were quite real." Bea answered before running to her with her sword in hand and was about to land a slash, but Emma suddenly teleported away before appearing behind her and tossing a Flame Burst at her, Bea quickly blocked the attack with her sword, but the explosion still pushed her away and almost made her fall from the hole that Emma left in the wall, but Ash quickly formed a shield that blocked it. Emma grunted at this and then rushed to Ash, but Meray put her hands on his back, transferring yellow aura to him, which Ash then transferred to his shield before tossing it to Emma and creating an explosion that knocked her to the floor.

"Another addition to the introduction, my name is Ash Ketchum." He added. "And I'm a friend of the people you attacked in Lumiose."

"Ketchum... Ah, sure, you're that guy Looker is always talking about." Emma said standing up again. "Another one of the kids who messed with Team Flare."

"You know Looker?" Ash asked.

"I thought I knew him." Emma said. "But a more important question, why are you of all people defending someone from Team Flare after all they did?"

"I happen to believe a lot in second chances." Ash answered.

"Trust me, some people don't deserve that kind of treatment." Emma answered. "Just look at what Team Flare did to me. They tortured me in the hope of creating perfect humans for their perfect world, they gave me these powers, they tore me apart and put me back together over and over, turned into some... some little monster... And now that I confirmed that there's no cure, it's only a matter of time before my body basically dissolves in thin air, but I'm not leaving without taking them all down with me."

"I... Can understand that you're suffering." Ash answered. "But that doesn't give you the right to kill them."

"They controlled me and made me kill innocent people... And you think I don't have the right to do this?" Emma asked. "You're just as bad as them."

"If you just go on a killing spree then you're no better either!" Bea shouted.

"It's not about being better, this is the only thing that's left to do." Emma answered. "From now on, anyone I kill... Will know why I did it." Emma teleported away and both Ash and Bea started looking around.

"She's gonna show up again somewhere, be careful." Ash said.

"That technique she's using..." Meray wondered still behind Ash looking around as well. "Ash, behind us!" She shouted and Ash quickly hugged her and formed a shield behind them right before Emma appeared again and tried to hit them with a Bullet Punch only to be blocked by Ash's shield before disappearing again.

"How did you know?" Ash asked.

"What she's doing isn't exactly teleportation, it's mass transmission." Meray said. "Baraz explained it to me once, her body turns into light before materializing again, but when she does it, it creates a small wind current as her body takes place somewhere else."

"So she needs space to move, right?... That gives me an idea. Tell me where she'll come again." Ash said forming a shield on each hand.

"I'll try..." Meray said looking around. "She's... Above them now!" Meray shouted pointing at Flannery and co.; and Ash quickly formed a shield above their heads as Emma appeared and failed to get through with a Dragon Claw, but before she could disappear again, Ash quickly surrounded her with shields, trapping her in a translucent cube.

"There we go." Ash said moving the the cube to the floor.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Emma shouted trying to break the cube with Dragon Claws, but these had no effect. "Let me go!" Emma tried to teleport away, but she ended up still inside the cube.

"Not until you calm down." Ash said. "Listen, you attacked one my friends with a Poison Move, I need you tell me how to treat her."

"I'm telling you nothing!" Emma shouted. "I'm not helping anyone who's allied with Team Flare!"

"I'm not allied with Team Flare, if you know Looker then you should be aware of that by now." Ash answered. "I'm allied with Malva, who decided to look at herself and make a change, she earned the forgiveness of the woman she loved, married her, got herself a job and adopted an orphan, that's more good than what a lot people can say they've done."

"That doesn't change anything!" Emma shouted. "That won't revive the people Team Flare killed! That won't give me back my life!" She shouted before slamming both fists to the floor and the whole place started to shake.

"What is it now?!" Bea shouted.

"Gloria, how's the evacuation going?" Flannery asked on her Rotom Phone.

"Everyone's outside." Gloria answered while the ground started to shake as well and the whole hotel started to give in. "Y-Y-You guys have to get out of there!"

"We'll never make it out in time!" Korrina said.

"We don't need to. Everyone around me!" Ash said jumping on top of Emma's cube and everyone formed a circle around them, while Ash started casting various shields and used them to form a sphere around them.

"Wait, Flareon!" Tina shouted running to her fainted partner who was still on the floor right as the ceiling gave in.

"Tina!" Malva and Flannery shouted.

"I got her!" Ash shouted jumping out of the sphere before closing it, while Tina picked Flareon up and returned him, before Ash quickly hugged her, forming a smaller sphere around them while the whole hotel started to fall down.

"Everyone back off!" Victor shouted as the crowd that surrounded them all ran away, the hotel kept falling until it hit the ground, kicking up plenty of dust and sending flying several pieces of debris, the debris was about to hit the civilians, but a pink barrier suddenly formed in front of them and protected them.

"Uh, did Ash do that?" Marnie asked.

"That doesn't look like his usual stuff." Gloria answered.

"What the-" Roxie wondered looking around until she spotted Miku raising both her hands in the air. "Aha..."

"What happened to Ash?!" Hilda shouted.

"Look! Over there!" Rosa pointed at the rubble as the dust settled and both spheres were still surrounding the group, but these eventually faded and Ash fell exhausted on Tina's arms, while the rest ran to them, leaving Emma still on the cube.

"Are you guys okay?!" Flannery shouted.

"Y-Yes, we are." Tina stuttered. "Ash saved me."

"Making all those shields really left me exhausted." Ash answered barely standing up.

"But wait, wouldn't that mean-" Bea was interrupted by a breaking glass sound and the group turned around to see Emma escaping from the cube.

"I'm getting tired of this!" Emma shouted.

"That makes two of us." Bea answered pointing her sword at her.

"And I still need you to tell me how to save Alexa." Ash said standing by Bea's side and tried to form a shield, but this faded right away. "Guess I need to recharge."

"Don't worry about it, looks like this will take a while." Bea answered.

"Problem is I don't know how much time Alexa has left." Ash said and Emma dashed to them, Bea ran to her with sword in hand, but before they could reach each other, a blue energy whip suddenly came from behind and wrapped around Emma's neck, stopping her run.

"T-That's an aura attack!" Meray shouted and the group looked further to see Drasna holding the other end of the whip.

"Sorry about the delay, gosh, reunions these days." Drasna said with a smile before using the whip to raise Emma up to the skies to then slam her against the ground before running to the group.

"Mom!" Tina shouted running to hug her along with Malva.

"I-I thought I'd never see you again." Malva said doing her best to not cry while Drasna caressed her cheek. "I-I'm sorry, this is all my fault, that girl is one Team Flare's experiments, we... we really hurt her, she killed Xerosic and s-she came here looking for a cure, but I don't have it."

"I see..." Drasna said before kissing her forehead. "I'll take care of this. Tina, you take care of your Mom." She said before leaving the two alone and walked to Emma while she stood up again.

"Argh! How many more of you people do I have to fight?!" Emma shouted.

"Oh, I'm the only one that matters." Drasna replied. "See, sweetie, you messed with my daughter and my wife, so now, I'm going to FUCK YOU!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Uh... It's 'Fuck you up', Mom." Tina said.

"Wait, what did I say?" Drasna asked.

"Argh!" Emma shouted rushing to her with a Dragon Claw in hand and Drasna quickly formed a Dragon Pulse between her hands and tossed it at her, stopping her run again before forming the whip in her hand again and smack Emma several times with it.

"Miss Drasna, try to take off her helmet!" Ash said.

"I got you, kid!" Drasna replied and formed another whip in her other hand, wrapping it around Emma's helmet and taking it off her before smacking her away with the other whip.

"Give me that!" Emma shouted before a glitch her body and caused her to scream in pain, while Drasna took the helmet to the group with her whips, leaving it on Ash's hands.

"So that's what Clemont meant." Ash said seeing Emma glitch before looking at her helmet. "Let's see if she's willing to talk now." He added walking to her along the rest of the group while Emma continued to glitch on the ground.

"Alright, let's try this again." Ash said to Emma. "I imagine that must hurt a lot."

"Give me back my helmet!" Emma shouted and tried to reach Ash, but Bea stood in front of him and slashed her away with her sword before she was hit by another glitch that left her in the ground.

"Let's assume we don't want to give it to you." Bea said. "What would happen then?"

"I-If you don't, these glitches will become worse, my body will continue to pull itself apart until it can't pull itself together anymore and I'll die!" She shouted.

"Well, that... Sounds pretty bad." Ash said. "But like I told you, I'm a friend of the person you poisoned and I need you to tell me how to cure her."

"I'm not gonna help you!" Emma shouted. "Your friends attacked me first! I don't care if one of them dies!"

"...Well, if that's the case, I'm not gonna give you your helmet." Ash answered.

"Oh, come on, who are you trying to fool?" Emma asked. "You're not gonna let me die, isn't that what heroes are all about?"

"It might be, but this hero has gotten his loved ones in quite some danger lately and I'm honestly getting tired of it." Ash answered placing the helmet on the ground and forming a small shield around his fist that took the shape of a gauntlet. "I'm gonna ask you one more time, tell me how to cure Alexa or I'll destroy your helmet."

"You're not..." Emma grunted as she was interrupted by another glitch. "You're not going to do it. Didn't you hear? I'm gonna die if you destroy my helmet!"

"Yup, I heard." Ash answered. "Which is why I hope this helps you recollect your thoughts." He said before forcefully bringing down his fist and destroying the helmet into several pieces, leaving Emma and most of the group perplexed.

"Y-Y-You..." Emma simply stuttered before screaming as another glitch hit her.

"Well, I take it I have your full attention now." Ash said staring down at her while Emma stopped screaming only for another glitch to hit her. "...Meray, that spell that Baraz and you used to fix Hoopa's lamp, you can use it to fix this helmet, right?"

"Uh, y-yes!" Meray answered. "I'd just need a few minutes!"

"You heard that, didn't you?" Ash asked to Emma. "So if you're really gonna die without your helmet then I suggest you to tell me how to treat the poison."

"I-I..." Emma tried to stand up, but the glitch stopped her and she fell to her knees again, with Ash approaching her and holding her by her wrist while staring at her eye to eye.

"How. Do we save. Alexa?" He asked again.

"I... Only I can do it!" Emma shouted. "I can use Heal Pulse, that's the only way to cure the poison, but I need to be there and I can't teleport so far without my helmet! We'll never get in time!"

"Leave that part to me." Ash said letting go of her and pulling out his Rotom Phone to quickly make a call. "Kimia, I'll send you my location, I need you and Hoopa to get here right now... And please, put on your clothes." He said before cutting the call and quickly making another one. "Clemont, where are you guys right now?"

"We're in Lumiose City Hospital." He answered. "We brought Alexa here as soon as we could and they've been treating her poisoning, but nothing seems to be working."

"Don't worry, I'll be there in a moment." Ash said cutting the call right before a glowing ring portal appeared in front of them, with Kimia and Hoopa walking through it.

"We're here, what do you need?" Kimia asked.

"I need a portal to the Lumiose City Hospital, we have an emergency." He said.

"Consider it done, Ash-Kan!" Hoopa said tossing a ring that instantly opened a portal to the mentioned location.

"Please, m-my helmet." Emma whimpered.

"Oh, right." Meray knelt down next to the pieces of the helmet , she then put her hands in front of her and yellow aura started emerging from them and surrounded the pieces of the helmet, raising them in the air and connecting them with each other. Meray focused as much as she could on the motion, but she then stared at Emma who was still glitching out. "Hmm... Ash, I think I have an idea."

"What is it?" He asked crouching next to Meray and she whispered something to his ear. "Hmm, are you sure?"

"Yes, I don't think she'd be able to do the task you need of her as she is right now, after all." Meray answered and Ash nodded before standing up to then approach Emma and take one of her hands while she was still glitching.

"W-What are you doing?"

"Stand still." Ash said before his body was outlined by red aura that started transferring to Emma's body, causing her glitching to stop.

"What..." Emma pulled back her hand and stood up again, seeing her body outlined by red light. "W-W-What did you do?"

"He shared some of his aura with you." Meray explained. "Most of Aura Users can use and withstand attacks like you do because of their aura, which is what you see Bea, Ash and Drasna are doing, but you don't seem have any aura, which is why your body does that glitch thing, this helmet here, I can tell it projects an energy similar to aura, but it's not the same, that's what stabilize you when you use it, still, that transfer Ash did to you should only last a few minutes."

"I see..." Emma said.

"Now I need you to come with us." Ash said. "We have a deal, don't we?"

"...Of course." Emma nodded.

"I'll also go, in case she tries to do anything." Bea said.

"I'll have the helmet ready for when you return." Meray replied and Ash was the first to walk into the portal, followed by Kimia, Hoopa, Bea and Emma.

"At least the fight is over." Malva said sitting on the floor, while Tina hugged her again and Drasna sat by her side. "I'm really sorry about everything."

"I only hope that the hotel doesn't want to make us pay for all that." Drasna answered with a giggle. "Don't worry, our family is safe, that's all that matters."

"Yeah... but Tina, that was all too reckless." Malva told her. "You should've just left."

"She would've killed you... I wasn't going to lose my Mom." Tina answered. "Besides, it was because I stayed that we got enough time for Ash and Bea to arrive, right?"

"Heh... Guess that's true." Malva answered hugging her along with Drasna. "Thanks for saving me, kiddo."

"That's my cousin alright." Flannery said joining the hug.

"I'm just glad everyone's safe." Korrina said. "I really hope they can save Alexa."

Meanwhile in the Lumiose City Hospital.

"We're here, guys!" Ash shouted walking into the room and saw a panting Alexa laying on bed with the Lumiose siblings by her side.

"ASH!" They siblings shouted as well and rushed to hug him before noticing who was accompanying her friend.

"What's she doing here?!" Bonnie asked pointing at Emma.

"She's here to help." Ash answered.

"Aren't you?" Bea asked behind her and summoning her sword again to point it at Emma's back.

"A deal's a deal." Emma sighed before approaching Alexa, putting herself in front of her injured arm and placing her hands above them, forming a small white sphere that started to extract the poison. "I'd just need a minute or so." She said looking at Ash.

"What... Exactly happened?" Clemont asked.

"To put it short, we had a fight and she agreed to help us for now." Ash answered. "Looks like Team Flare kidnapped her and experimented on her, which is why she can use Pokemon Moves."

"I didn't even know something like that could be possible." Clemont said.

"Wow, I kinda feel bad for her now." Bonnie said staring at Emma. "But still, she... S-She tried to kill us and... But I attacked her first so-"

"Let's not think about that for now." Clemont told her. "Despite everything, it's really good to see you again, Ash."

"Same here, I also wish we could've met again in better conditions." Ash answered. "But it's always nice to see my friends again."

"So you're Clemont and Bonnie, huh?" Bea asked.

"Oh my gosh! You're so-"

"Sorry, but I'm gonna interrupt you right there." Bea said. "Name's Bea and I'm Ash's girlfriend, very nice to meet you, he's told me a lot about you two."

"Bummer." Bonnie said with a pout. "Oh, well, at least if Ash goes around telling other people about us that will increase the chance of finding someone for Clemont... WAIT, YOU GOT A GIRLFRIEND?!" She shouted.

"Heh, yeah, I also processed that sentence for a moment." Clemont said. "I guess we all expected it to be Serena."

"Everyone but me, it seems." Ash sighed.

"Speaking of that, Serena called me a moment ago to see how we were doing." Bonnie added. "She says she's on her way here along with Miette, maybe you'll get to see them, though I'm not sure of what they'll think about you having a girlfriend already."

"Those two already know actually." Ash said.

"What? Really?!" Bonnie shouted.

"It's, uh, a little complicated, I'll explain you in a moment." Ash said. "Right, Kimia is also here and... Uh, Kimia?" Ash asked seeing the girl looking outside the window along with Hoopa.

"Should we be concerned about that?" Kimia said pointing outside and the rest of the group saw the yellow dome surrounding the city.

"Not at all, that's a little invention of mine, you see." Clemont said adjusting his glasses with a smile. "It's a special protection dome for emergency situations, it is designed to not let anyone to get inside the city as long as it's active, but people can still get out."

"My, good thing my rings could bypass it then." Hoopa said.

"And it hasn't exploded so far!" Bonnie said.

"Yeah, thanks." Clemont said. "We activated it because La Sante Prison, which is close to the city, was under attack and the criminals were set free and were trying to get to the city."

"Wow, really?" Ash said. "That sounds pretty dangerous, had I known I would've come sooner to help."

"Don't worry about it, Ash, you were busy with your own things." Clemont said. "It's not like the whole world has to rely on you to save them everytime something bad happens."

"Yeah, you can't be everywhere at once." Bonnie said. "We also missed your Elite Four battles of today because of all this, but we can only assume you won."

"Yup, all the battles were pretty tough, but my Pokemon and I managed to win." Ash said. "Although things complicated a bit afterwards and-"

"Hey, she's waking up." Emma said and the group approached Alexa while she opened up her eyes.

"Ash... What are you doing here?" She asked with a smile without noticing Emma was still working on her injured arm.

"Don't worry about that, everything's gonna be okay." Ash told her.

"I'm glad... I could see you one last time." She whispered. "I feel like I'm leaving already."

"Hey, don't say that, I told you, everything's under control." Ash answered.

"Positive as always, huh?" She asked with a weak giggle. "Can you... Give me your hand?"

"Uh, sure." Ash said holding her free hand before Alexa suddenly pulled him towards her, making him fall on top of her so she could plant a kiss on his lips, leaving the two siblings with their jaws on the floor.

"Eh, it doesn't even surprise me anymore." Bea said.

"I can imagine why that would be the case." Kimia replied while Ash slowly backed off from the woman.

"There, I needed to do that, I've been in love with you since the day we met." Alexa said with a smile. "I know I'm too old for you, but I didn't want to leave... Without telling you."

"It's done." Emma said with a heavy pant as she finished extracting the poison, the orb was now completely purple and she then crushed it with her hands, creating a small smoke screen that quickly dissipated. "S-She's healed."

"...I'm what?" Alexa asked.

"I did my part, now take me-" Emma was interrupted by another sudden glitch and ended up falling to the floor.

"Emma! Here, let me lend you-" Ash tried to approach her, but Emma suddenly pushed him away.

"D-Don't touch me!" She shouted. "This is your fault! This... This..." Emma screamed out loud and tried to get her body to return to normal, but she continued to glitch, she then looked at Ash who was still standing next to her and after clenching her teeth, she ended up offering her hand to him. "P-Please..." She whimpered and Ash held her hand again, transferring aura to her and stabilizing her body, with Emma panting heavily before fainting afterwards.

"Gosh..." Ash muttered before sighing to then pick up the girl and take her in a bridal carry. "How are you feeling, Alexa?"

"Uh, great, I'm... Feeling great." She said checking her arm. "So about-"

"YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ASH?!" Bonnie shouted and Alexa simply blushed embarrassed.

"This has been quite a crazy day, hasn't it?" Clemont asked.

"So, Ash... What exactly are we gonna do with this girl now?" Bea asked while approaching him along with Kimia and Hoopa.

"I'm... Not too sure." Ash answered while he looked at Emma.

Meanwhile in Mt. Coronet, Sinnoh.

"So here we are." Mitsumi said a top of a cliff next to the Interpol Headquarters, with her shiny Infernape by her side, while Mars and Jupiter were behind her, along their Purugly and Stuntank while the three women were wearing their Team Galactic uniforms.

"I promised Lucas I'd never use this uniform again." Mars said.

"And where is he now, huh?" Jupiter asked.

"Shut up, Jupiter." Mitsumi told her. "That's why we're here, to get Dawn and her friends out, to save that Akari and somehow find a way to get Lucas back."

"I still can't believe you convinced me to do this." Jupiter said.

"You know you still owed me one, you became commander because of me." Mitsumi said.

"Yeah, sure." Jupiter rolled her eyes. "Whatever happened to 'that's all in the past'?"

"Speaking of past, what about our three little helpers?" Mars asked. "You managed to convince them as well?"

"Yes, but the deal for now is that they'll only intervene if necessary." Mitsumi replied. "Let's just focus on doing our part for now... Mission Breakout, second attempt... let's do this."

Meanwhile in Wyndon.

After being saved by Roxanne and Lisia, Chloe followed them to where they were staying at and was currently sitting next to a window in the room of a hotel, looking down at the city with her Eevee resting on her lap.

"We already talked with Steven, everything's set for you to come with us." Roxanne said walking to her along with Lisia.

"Yup, all we have to do is wait for tomorrow morning." Lisia added.

"I seriously can't thank you two enough for this." Chloe said. "I mean, you girls are basically helping a criminal, you know that?"

"I'm helping a friend." Roxanne said placing a hand on Chloe's. "What you said to me back when we met really motivated me."

"And a friend of Roxanne, is a friend of mine too." Lisia said. "You girl looked really scared too, there was no way we would just leave you alone."

"Thanks again, really." Chloe answered. "But seriously, after you get me to Alola we should part ways, I don't want you girls to get more involved into this."

"Well, I'm sure Ash will be more qualified to deal with this type of stuff." Lisia said. "But the problem is that both Roxanne and I wanted to talk with him, you see?"

"Oh, really? And what were you going to talk with him?" Chloe asked.

"Well, that topic is a little complicated, but-" Roxanne blushed embarrassed before being interrupted by a knock from the door. "Oh that must be Steven, I'll go." Roxanne quickly went to the door and opened it only to find Goh wearing a butler outfit.

"G-Goh..." Chloe stuttered.

"He's one of those guys!" Lisia said releasing her Altaria and Audino while Roxanne took a few steps back from him and released her Probopass, all this while Goh simply stood still before sighing.

"Chloe..." He said directly staring at her. "Koharu Cerise, we need to talk."
