They sped... as fast as light... but certainly still keeping quiet to a certain extent. It was too dangerous colliding with Kartana straight in... as it could potentially end up badly... and Buzzwole wasn't very used to flying in the void, much less carrying Ash in it, and after a few wobbles at the start, they were finally gaining speed. To make things even worst... there were more ultra beasts than previously thought... and each warp holes only seemed to expand, as time, space and reality were treated apart between an epic raging battle of the three pokemon in the other side of the field. Giratina was mainly being teamed on, but sometimes Dialga would "accidentally" hit Palkia and Palkia would them hit back.

They were very engaged not to notice the rapidly increasing warp hole sizes and also more of them. Even worst, more ultra beasts seemed to be coming in and eventually Ash had to scrap his plans for the shortest possible route, and take a long one, hoping to appear behind Pikachu and his other friends to pick them up before they could obliterated-quickly by the rapidly forceful assaults from the ultra beasts. They were only playing with Pikachu right now, and they were waiting for the three pokemon: Giratina, Palkia and Dialga to finish their battle so the winner could be easily defeated and taken hostage... this might end up with some great rewards from their master so they didn't complain and only pretended to be fighting Pikachu at the moment.

After around a minute of flying, which was actually a slow flight since they were in danger of rocks that floated randomly and rapidly throughout void, some of them a shattered part of the three fighting Pokemon's powers, some random attacks from ultra beasts which seemed to have noticed them but fortunately kept quiet as they didn't seem to think or get suspicious of him being Ash, or that it wasn't usual for a Buzzwole to have a rider.

They finally arrived about 50 meters behind Pikachu, wanting to build up momentum for a high speed to be able to get Pikachu and of course... well...hopeful able to get her as well... Ash could feel his heart bleeding right now, literally. Ash regretted taking her into the void dimension... but in fact he came here chasing her... and he was definitely sure she'd go back into a coma like state if he didn't find a way to get her out of this... and Pikachu was getting bullied by countless other ultra beasts.

Ash took al deep breath. If he didn't do it now, it was far from too late... because well... they probably didn't want to kill Pikachu but it was defiantly to late for a chance to save anything... and so he went.

Buzzwole started jerking forward at first, then slowly increasing its speed till it was about going as quickly as a normal car... then a train... a plane... and then, he had reach Pikachu.

Kartana, who was about to order for the ultra beasts to surround Pikachu and bring him down, capturing it and then perhaps finding a way to mess around with it, was taken by shock. He had only seen a radiant red flash of light, and a figure grabbing Pikachu extremely quickly... an ultra beast... and wait... the ultra beast had a rider? Kartana had been aware of the ultra beasts prescience when it flew behind Pikachu, but he thought that perhaps it was only of his ultra beasts who had decided to go the back and suprise it from behind, it was unaware of any other ultra beasts in the dimension, after all. The rider seemed to attempt to snatch down as well, trying to lift the other human of the rock, but failed to do so. Even though Kartana wasn't able to see the rider, he knew who it was.

Ash, meanwhile had somehow caught Pikachu and was about to reach for... what Kartana would have described as "another human being", when he found that in fact, he couldn't do so. Somehow, they were blurring past everything, and directly into Kartana, smashing it and knocking it back. This certainly enraged Kartana, who immediately retaliated with its own attacks, slamming Buzzwole directly on the wings, making it falter for a second, but continued going. Unfortunately, his seemed to have damaged Buzzwole to some extent and Ash had to land on a nearby piece of rock a few hundreds of meters away!

Kartana, who made a choice to attempt to communicate with Buzzwole calling it a traitor and ordering attacks on it, did not give chase, as it was too shocked itself and the surrounding ultra beasts were too. Ash had somehow evaded their detection and bursted out at the last second! Yet, he was still no match for what Kartana had in mind, for Kartana knew that Ash had one more person who he had failed to rescue... looking down at the ground, the ultra beast smiled.

"Ash..." the ultra beast spoke in a flitter of metallic noises... "you will be punished for what you have done... I still have her... and you will not rescue her... you will die to me! There will be no escape, you cannot exit from one of the warp holes, nor from anything else, and you will watch her die slowly..." it said in something that Ash roughly translated.

Ash, meanwhile knew it was pointless going for another attempt, after all, things like this were only to be done once, because it was not going to work if he did it again. The element of darkness was once his friend,the element of anonymity was once what had shield him and so did the element of suprise, now he had none and therefore it was pointless. Going there was essentially handing himself to the ultra beasts and then being sent. He knew that he could try to fight them, but it was not much use...

Somehow, deep in his heart, he felt bad, drowned from a voice that kept encouraging him, his mind fuzzy and glitched, unable to focus... somehow he had failed her again... somehow he had always failed her... somehow he knew that she was feeling the same... somehow he knew that he couldn't do it again, but yet he had to... if he didn't, he would die and so would everything else... he believed he had knowledge... he knew about how he was once in the past present and future... only a couple of minutes ago... he was in the future... and yet now, the present lay across him dull and dark... somehow he wished he had stayed in the future, not knowing, not caring and thus their was no stress or fear.

Now, though he had to focus on the present, forget the past and not think about what was going to happen... for the present was in need. The three fighting pokemon, who were very close to where he was, were not very careful or what attacks they were using, and some of them had somehow started to chip away at his rock... the rock he was standing on. He felt drowned... the void suffocating him... but he still had to go on... because if he didn't survive, then no one would. He had to get the three fighting Pokemon to help, or else or humanity is dead...

It was not easy communicating with the three, especially when they were on the midst of a gigantic battle, and he knew that if he had tried to stop them, he would die. Pikachu slept in Ash's lap, quiet and unmoving, cold but still alive. Ash couldn't help but to think of... he was cut of by a pinch in his shoulder... it was Buzzwole warning him that Giratina had somehow been thrown towards him and was clearly in rage, immediately throwing back a barrage of attacks that struck both other pokemon, sending them spinning back, smoke rising from their bodies as well...

Before long, Ash found himself in a shadow silhouette, Giratina's was literally hovering above him, and Ash knew that it was now or never, he had to speak and communicate with it, calm it down, he had done it before and was going to do it again with the three, but this time it was different, they were in a much bigger rage than before, and fuelling it was an energy so intense with light that it was unreadable, was uncertain! And of course, Ash knew that Giratina naturally fuelled back to attack, and normally it was unusual for it to be able to fight the other two without losing, but this time it was in its own dimension, the shadow realm and it was its home, and it had its advantages here, already, the void was slowly regenerating him, slowly healing it up, a treatment that most others wouldn't receive... and yet of course... Ash knew that if he didn't find a way to calm the three done and find out what was going on, he was doomed... and them, Kartana decided to hit back... and this time strong, preparing for a bloodied show of death and despair over Ash, knowing that it was close to achieving its goal.

Yet, of course it lacked something that Ash knew, it lacked what it believed in, it lacked hope. Ash, knew something that no one knew, and he knew that perhaps it was this piece of informationt that he could use right now... right now... here, in this place, he could use it... and he was going to use it right now!
