"C'mon Dawn" Ash called. Dawn came up and followed Ash and Cynthia to the Pokémon center. "So Cynthia what are you doing here in Hearthrome City?"

"I was checking out the old ruins near Amity Square" Cynthia answered. "It depicts part of the old legends of Dialga and Palkia."

"Dialga and Palkia" Dawn asked confused.

"They are ancient Legendary Pokémon" Cynthia said. "Palkia has the ability to control space while Dialga has the power to control time. It was said that they have been around since the time before Sinnoh was ever created." They all got to the Pokémon center quickly and Ash handed over their Darkrai and Spiritomb respectively. While waiting Ash and Dawn talked about some random things while Cynthia found herself staring at Ash. Cynthia was then reminded of the conversation with Mr. Goodshow a few months ago.

FLASHBACK

Cynthia along with every other Champion and member of the Elite Four were all gathered on Lily of the Valley Island for some kind of important meeting that was called by Mr. Goodshow. From Johto were Lance, Agatha, Bruno, Will and Lorelei; from Hoenn were Steven, Drake, Glacia, Phoebe, and Sidney; from Sinnoh, were Cynthia, Lucian, Flint, Bertha and Aaron and from Unova were Alder, Marshal, Caitlin, Grimsley and Shauntal.

"I wonder what Mr. Goodshow called us here for" Alder said wandering around the main stadium.

"He hasn't called us all here since Cynthia was made Champion" Lance added. "By the way how's your Garchomp Cynthia?"

"Good Lance, thanks for asking" Cynthia answered "What about your Dragonite?"

"Still as strong as can be" Lance grinned slightly.

Cynthia smiled "Good I hope to battle it one day."

"How's your Dusclops Phoebe" Agatha asked the scantly glad beauty.

"Super" Phoebe grinned "And this time I plan on taking down that Gengar of yours. What about you Shauntal? How's that Chandelure of yours doing?"

"Fine thank you" Shauntal said shyly.

"Phoebe seems as fired up as usual eh Sidney" Grimsley said chuckling slightly.

"You have no idea" Sidney muttered.

"How's your team coming along Marshal" Bruno asked.

"Very good Bruno" Marshal answered. "By the end of the month I should have them as fast as they are strong."

"Mr. Goodshow is here everyone" Steven called out getting their attention. It's true as the little man in charge of the Pokémon League appeared walking into the stadium.

"Good afternoon everyone" Mr. Goodshow greeted "Thank you for all coming here on short notice, especially you five; Alder, Marshal, Caitlin, Grimsley, Shauntal. I know how long the flight from Unova is."

"It's not that bad if you can book an early enough flight" Caitlin said.

Mr. Goodshow laughed "Anyway now that we're all here I'd like to get down to business on why I called you all here. For too long the five regions have been incomplete."

"What do you mean by that Mr. Goodshow" Aaron, the Bug specialist asked.

"I mean I think it's about time we construct an independent Kanto Elite Four and Champion" Mr. Goodshow said making the others look at him in surprise.

"If I recall we never formed one because there have never been any trainers that could qualify for it right" Will asked making Mr. Goodshow nod. "Then that must mean you've found someone who fits the requirements?"

Once again Mr. Goodshow nodded "And if I recall correctly" Drake said gruffly. "The champion is formed first and then he seeks out four worthy trainers that specialize in one type to become members of the Elite Four and of the ones he selects at least three of them had to have been born in the specific Region right?"

"Correct" Mr. Goodshow said.

"And then to fully decide the places the chosen Four will battle each other to determine their rankings and then each of them will battle the current Champion for a right to take his/her place" Agatha finished.

Once again, Mr. Goodshow nodded "Yes."

"And you're telling us you found a person capable of being a Champion of the Kanto Region" Glacia asked.

"Yes I have," Mr. Goodshow said "And it's someone most of you have already met."

"Really" Lance said and then his eyes widened in realization and he gasped slightly.

"I see you've figured it out Lance" Mr. Goodshow smiled "You were always a brilliant child. I'm talking about trainer Ash Ketchum." Every member of the Elite Four Hoenn and Johto's eyes widened along with Lance and Steven's and they all began talking at once. Cynthia, Alder and the rest of the Elite Four just looked confused.

"Um excuse us" Flint said loudly getting their attention "But who is this Ash Ketchum?"

"He sounds like an interesting young man to get all of you talking like this" Bertha added.

"Oh he is" Mr. Goodshow said. "Let me list of his list of achievements. He first competed in the Indigo Conference when he was 10 and made it all the way into the Victory Tournament, but lost in the first round making him one of the Top Sixteen. Then only eleven months later he competed in the Orange Islands competition and the Johto League and ascended all the way to the Finals and won both Tournaments. Then at the age of thirteen he competed in the Hoenn League completion at Ever Grande City. He went through all the qualifying rounds without losing a single Pokémon and in the Victory Tournament during the first three rounds he only had to use three Pokémon maximum, in the Semifinals he only used Four and in the Final Round he only had to use Five Pokémon. Normally using less than Six Pokémon in a tournament is reserved only for Elite Four members and if my memory recalls me correctly he's currently going through Kanto again to complete the Battle Frontier."

Throughout the explanation those who didn't know anything were getting more wide eyed as Mr. Goodshow went on. "Okay hold on a second" Grimsley said once Mr. Goodshow was done. "You're telling us that some thirteen year old managed to accomplish all of this. It sounds rather hard to believe."

"I thought one of you might say that" Mr. Goodshow said. "That's why I had this prepared." Mr. Goodshow indicated to the screen at the top of the Stadium that recorded Ash's battles from the past. All of them then proceeded to watch Ash's battles in the Indigo Plateau, Orange Islands, Johto League and Hoenn League. Those who hadn't seen the battles were wide eyed, not only at the amount of Legendaries, Ash possessed, but also the amount of skill he showed in handling them and how they obeyed him without question.

"Well" Lucian said breaking the silence after the main screen went blank "With his skills he does have championship potential."

"Screw that" Marshal said "He's got skill and a lot of it."

"The only question would be is what his type specialty would be" Lorelei said.

"I've got that covered" Mr. Goodshow said semi-sheepishly "Only I have no idea if any of you will go along with it." Mr. Goodshow then explained the same thing he told Ash to the rest of them and they responded in the same way he thought they would.

"ARE YOU CRAZY" a lot of different voices shouted.

"I figured you'd all say that" Mr. Goodshow deadpanned.

"Well duh" Alder said smacking his forehead "You're talking about someone being a specialist in 'Legendary' Pokémon. There are many different types of Legendaries of different elements and the rules say only two various type specialists at one time."

"And say we even go along with this" Sidney continued "He would be unstoppable if he trained them the right way. Legendaries are near impossible to defeat."

"Don't go over the line Sidney" Steven said. "Legendaries may be more powerful than regular Pokémon, but they are still Pokémon and can be defeated like Pokémon."

"Plus the fact that you saw that in his final match of the Hoenn League and Johto League his legendaries were defeated by very competent trainers" Lance continued.

"I say go for it" Cynthia said causing them to look at her. "What? This just proves how competent he is as a trainer to have so many Legendaries in his possession. He caught them fair and square and he shouldn't be held back because of them being overpowered."

"Finally someone with reason" Mr. Goodshow said relieved "Thank you Cynthia." Cynthia merely smiled.

"He's still too young" Glacia said "No one will respect a mere 13 year old as a Champion."

"I know that" Mr. Goodshow said indignantly. "I didn't plan on making him champion for a few more years. But I ready gave him the title, he refused to be a Champion though."

Lance blink "He doesn't want to be a Champion then what does he want to be then?"

Mr. Goodshow chuckle "Young Ash wishes to be a Pokemon Master"

This cause quite emotion around the room for the older Champions, Cynthia to raise her eyebrow "What so special about a Pokemon Master anyone can become one, once their reach the age of 10 right?"

Lorelei hugged under her chest "Cynthia, you are young and not around our time when Lance and we were young, there was title even higher the Champion title and that title was known as Pokemon Master. A person with Pokemon Master meant that this person could Master any type of Pokemon including Legendaries.

But problem was that there 18 elements for Pokemon and our aura could only have 6 to 7 elements control." Lorelei click and an orb appear in front of her. "This Orb show what aura we have and can use." Lorelei placed her hand on the orb and grew Icy blue then shown her elements. "As you can see my aura elements are Normal which everyone has in their aura, Ice, Water, Fire, Dark and Flying."

Lance spoke as his cross his fingers as a clam shell "And the only person who had ever gain the title and who was Champion of Kanto went missing 7 years ago with no trail behind."

The rest of the younger champion and elite gulped.

The rest of them realized they couldn't find a good way out of this so one by one they agreed with Mr. Goodshow's idea. "Wait a minute" Drake said getting all attention to him. "If we are agreeing to this then young Ash must prove himself as a Champion."

"What do you mean Drake" Steven asked.

"The Champion is responsible for seeking out members of the Elite four when they first start correct" Drake asked. Mr. Goodshow nodded "If young Ash is going to specialize in Legendaries then he should be the one to find all four members of the new Elite Four including a Champion for Kanto and since he will specialize in such a Powerful type then three of the Elite Four and chosen Champion must specialize in a type that has never been used before by any Elite four Member in History. It's only fair."

The others thought about it for a few seconds "Is does sound like a good idea" Shauntal said quietly.

"The specialties that have been used are Fighting, Poison, Ground, Bug, Ghost, Steel, Fire, Water, Psychic, Ice, Dragon and Dark" Aaron listed off. "Which means there are only five types that have never been used; Normal, Flying, Grass, Rock and Electric."

"That's a very slim list" Agatha said quietly.

"I have confidence in Ash" Lance said. "If anyone can accomplish the impossible it would be Ash."

"Well are we all in agreement here" Mr. Goodshow asked. All of them nodded, some of them reluctant to do so. "Then that is all for now. You all may go back to your business and I will contact you all if anything comes up again." Everyone said goodbye to each other and left the arena to go back to their business.

END FLASHBACK

Cynthia's flashback was ended when Nurse Joy called them up to the front. They both walked up and she handed them their Pokeballs "They took quite bit of damage, but they're just fine now" she told them.

"Thank you Nurse Joy" they both said. As they put their Pokeballs away Dawn came running up to them looking quite distraught "Dawn what's wrong" Ash asked.

"You got to see what's on T.V." Dawn said "Hurry." The three of them ran into the lobby to see what was going on. When they got in there they saw everyone looking at a T.V.

"Disaster struck here in Celestic Town" a newsman said. "Just mere moments ago the Museum that housed the Legendary Lustrous Orb was robbed by Team Galactic and the Lustrous Orb was stolen." Everyone gaped in shock at the T.V, especially Cynthia. "Hold on" the newsman said "I've just received word that the Adamant Orb was stolen as well by Team Galactic."

"This is terrible" Ash said. Next to him Cynthia turned and began running out of the center "Cynthia where are you going" Ash called as he and dawn chased after her. They got outside to see Cynthia release her Garchomp "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to stop Team Galactic" Cynthia said climbing on her Garchomp. "With both of those Orbs in their possessions they'll be heading to Lakes Acuity, Valor and Verity to capture the Lake Guardians. Then they'll summon Dialga and Palkia. I must stop them" Cynthia finished as her Garchomp rose into the air and took off at a fast speed.

Ash and Dawn stared for a bit before Ash turned to Dawn, "Hey Dawn" Ash said making her look at him. "Stay here until I get back" he said unclipping the blue Pokeball from his necklace.

"You're going to follow here" Dawn said shocked "That's crazy Ash."

"She's going to be facing Team Galactic all by herself" Ash said enlarging the Pokeball and then releasing Latios. "She's gonna need all the help she can get. Besides no one has better experience with Legendaries then yours truly." Latios rolled his eyes slightly and chuckled dryly inside.

"Just come back safely okay" Dawn said as Ash climbed on Latios.

"No need to worry" Ash said using Dawn's famous line. He gave her a grin before Latios took off into the skies and flew after Cynthia. Since Latios was probably the fastest Pokémon in the air it caught up to Cynthia and her Garchomp pretty easily "Hey Cynthia wait up" Ash shouted over the wind.

Cynthia turned her head as Ash and Latios flew alongside her "Ash what are you doing here" Cynthia asked surprised. "It's dangerous you should go back to Hearthrome City."

"Not a chance" Ash said. "If Team Galactic is trying to summon Dialga and Palkia then you'll need all the backup you can get and besides I've got a lot of experience when it comes to Legendary Pokémon."

Despite the situation Cynthia chuckled a bit "Very well, then let us make haste." Both of them willed their Pokémon to fly faster.

"So where are we heading" Ash asked.

"Mt. Coronet" Cynthia answered. "That's where Team Galactic's main base is rumored to be. Also near Mt. Coronet is Spear Pillar, the only place where Dialga and Palkia can be summoned."

"Man if we don't hurry then it could be too late" Ash said.

"No need to worry about that" Cynthia said. "That's only part of it; they also have to have in possession the three Lake Guardians Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie and each one of them can only be found at Lake Acuity, Lake Valor and Lake Verity."

"So we just wait until they capture them" Ash asked furiously.

"I'm afraid we have no choice" Cynthia said regretfully. Ash grit his teeth and the rest of the trip was continued in silence and soon they touched down at Mt. Coronet and after landing they hid behind the rocks after seeing an opening. They weren't waiting long as a massive ship touched down and a bunch of people walked out of the ship. Most of them were obviously Team Galactic grunts with one man standing out. He had spiky blue hair and a fierce look in his eyes "It's Cyrus" Cynthia gasped.

"Cyrus" Ash asked confused.

"Cyrus is supposed to be a historian researching Sinnoh's myths" Cynthia said scowling heavily "But he's working for Team Galactic."

Then a woman wearing dark clothing wearing goggles with silver hair came walking off of the ship and behind her were three other guys carrying three containers and in them were the petrified Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie. Ash then felt a sudden pain in his head "Ugh" he grunted clutching his head.

"What's wrong" Cynthia asked crouching down next to him.

"It's Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie" Ash groaned clutching his head. "They're crying out for help. They want me to stop them before it's too late."

"Don't worry we will" Cynthia said. She turned and nodded to her Garchomp that was hiding behind her. Ash recovered and nodded at an invisible Latios.

"That was an excellent Job Pokémon Hunter J" Cyrus said. "The money has been transferred to your account. You may go now as soon as you hand us Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie."

"Fine" J said and nodded to her men to hand over the three Lake Guardians.

"Garchomp Draco Meteor now" Cynthia shouted. Garchomp flew into the air and launched the Draco Meteor. It went into the air and then broke into many meteors and dive bombed everyone making them have to take evasive actions.

"Cynthia" Cyrus shouted angrily.

"I trusted you Cyrus" Cynthia glared "And this is who you truly are. I shall show you no mercy. Now Ash."

"Right" Ash said appearing in the air on his Latios. Latios' eyes were glowing "Latios psychic now." The three petrified Pokémon flew out of the henchman's arms and up to Ash who caught them easily.

"No" Cyrus shouted turning his attention to Ash. He turned back to Cynthia to see her jump onto her Garchomp and fly up next to Ash who took the three of them out of the cases.

"Garchomp use Hidden power to restore Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie" Cynthia said. Garchomp did and all three of them glowed and it died down and the three of them were back to normal. The three of them looked around before spotting Ash and Cynthia and then smiled and flew around them happily.

"We did it" Ash cheered.

"No you didn't" Cyrus said. He then held up his hand and there was a red gem sown into his glove. It glowed and then so did Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie. Their eyes turned red, dull and lifeless and then they flew back down to Cyrus. "You won't stop me" Cyrus said. "J there's an extra five hundred in it for you if you do away with these two."

"Deal" J smirked and then released a vicious Salamence and hopped on top of it. J then signaled for her henchmen to attack as well and they released a bunch of Golbat and Magnemite. Ash and Cynthia clenched their teeth knowing that they'd be in for one heck of a fight.

"Evasive action now" Cynthia shouted to Ash. Both of them took off in flight to avoid the Golbat and Magnemite "Garchomp dragon pulse now" Cynthia called. Garchomp formed an emerald ball of energy in its mouth and then launched it at all the Pokémon in reach and nailed four of them.

"Latios help them out with Luster Purge" Ash called. Latios formed its signature attack and then took out more of the Pokémon with its attack. Back on the ground Cyrus was just about to enter the cave when he looked back and saw Cynthia and Ash flying and battling around the area.

"Soon" he whispered to himself turning around and going into the cave.

"Salamence hyper beam now" J called. Salamence fired out a powerful hyper beam towards Ash.

"Latios duck" Ash shouted. Latios flew downward avoiding the attack and went into a dive bomb. Ash looked to his left and saw J flying downward next to him and she had her left arm pointed at him and then a blaster began gathering energy in it. Ash's eyes widened "Latios extreme speed quickly" he shouted.

Latios flew off at a quick speed and avoided the blaster. J flew after Ash and continued firing at him "Don't worry" she shouted at him "If my blaster won't hit you, then Salamence will. Flamethrower now" she shouted. Salamence fired a jet of flames at Latios, who did his best to dodge it.

Cynthia just had Garchomp take down another three Magnemite before flying around and avoiding some thunderbolts before noticing Ash and Latios flailing about avoiding Pokémon Hunter J. "Ash" she said worried. "Garchomp let's go" she said.

Garchomp roared and flew towards Ash to give him some help, but their path was blocked by more Golbat. Garchomp roared in frustration and launched a massive hyper beam to blast them a part.

Latios ducked and did a twisting turn to avoid more attacks, but J was still on their tail. "Latios Ariel Ace let's go" Ash called. J and Salamence just fired their attacks simultaneously, but they missed as Latios flew over them and then appeared behind them and now it was them chasing J. "Tables have turned now eh J" Ash smirked while J scowled at him "Latios dragon breath let's go" Ash called.

Latios fired a chartreuse ball at Salamence and it hit dead on making Salamence cry out in pain. "Salamence flamethrower" J growled. Salamence turned its head and fired a flamethrower at Latios.

"Safeguard quickly" Ash called. Latios' eyes glowed and it formed a protective barrier around him and Ash.

"Keep it up Salamence they can't hold that forever" J smirked as Salamence increased the power of its flamethrower.

"Neither can you" a voice said from behind J. J's eyes widened and she turned in time to see Cynthia and her Garchomp behind her and have Garchomp launch a powerful point blank hyper beam at her enveloping both her and Salamence. "Sorry" Cynthia said "But we can't afford to waste any more time." The hyper beam died down and revealed a very banged up J and Salamence who fell downwards and crashed into the lower mountains below.

With the flamethrower over Ash and Latios appeared looking unscathed, but very hot from the heat of the flames "Thanks for that" Ash said.

"No problem" Cynthia nodded "Now we better finish this quickly." Ash nodded and then both of them went to town with their Pokémon on Team Galactic and J's henchmen. The two dragon Pokémon launched attack after attack at the grunts and their Pokémon. After ten minutes they and their Pokémon were all out cold on the ground while Garchomp and Latios were a little winded, but okay.

"Well that was an unproductive waste of time" Ash grumbled kicking a grunt in the ribs slightly.

"I just called Officer Jenny" Cynthia said putting a phone away. "She'll be here shortly to arrest all of these grunts shortly. We need to get going, while we rushed about defeating these grunts, no doubt Cyrus is busy summoning Dialga and Palkia." Both of them took off into the cave and down the stairs to reach them.

SCENE BREAK

"Quite amazing" the scientist of Team Galactic, named Charon, said "Spear Pillar is still in excellent condition after all these years."

"Mesprit, Azelf, Uxie" Cyrus called "Take your places on the pillar." The three Lake Guardians had no choice, but to obey and they went to the three corners and stood there with their glowing red eyes still blank. The Two Main grunts of Team Galactic then put the Lustrous Orb and the Adamant Orb on the two pillars in the center. "Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie transfer your ancient powers to the Lustrous and Adamant Orbs and using the infinite original powers connect time and space."

The three of them gave a cry and then their bodies glowed and they transferred their energy into the two orbs and they began to glow brightly. "Now fire" Charon said to the other two grunts. They fired a machine and a red beam shot up into the air above the adamant orb "Good" Charon said as they fired another one and it shot above the lustrous orb. The two beams connected into a glowing red circle and energy came rising out of the two orbs into the circles and opened two portals in them. "Amazing" Charon said typing in his laptop "Quite an impressive output of energy."

Cyrus' eyes glowed red briefly "Dialga and Palkia the time has come, now revel yourselves." The crystal on Cyrus' hand glowed and then the two Pokémon appeared in a spectral form. Then the red crystal rings morphed into two large chain crystals to hold them in place.

"Amazing" one of the grunts said "We are witnessing the powers of the original one." Then a blast came from behind them and obliterated the machine next to Charon. The grunts looked shocked as they turned and saw Latios and Garchomp come flying towards them. "Toxicroak go" a grunt with blue hair shouted.

Out came a light blue toad shaped Pokémon, but Latios put a stop to it before it could do anything and smashed it hard on the head with a steel wing attack, Toxicroak groaned weakly and then fell to the ground out cold. The grunts gaped in shock.

"Great job Latios" Ash said appearing along with Cynthia.

Cynthia looked on at Spear Pillar "Dialga, Palkia and the three Lake Guardians" she said quietly. "I've always wanted to meet them, but never like this."

"Cyrus stop" Ash shouted "You have no idea what you're dealing with."

"I've had enough of this little brat" one of the female grunts said "Purugly go" she called sending out a big cat shaped Pokémon.

"Golbat let's go" two more grunts called sending out their Pokémon.

"Latios Luster Purge all of them now" Ash called. Latios charged a massive Luster Purge in his mouth and launched it. It easily enveloped all three Pokémon and they were all launched back towards their owners completely out cold.

"Now's our chance to free the Lake Guardians" Cynthia said. Ash nodded "Garchomp brick break now." Garchomp charged towards Mesprit.

"Latios steel wing" Ash called. Latios' wing glowed as it charged at Azelf. Both attacks connected with the crystals on their heads, but the crystals didn't break at all "What" Ash said shocked.

"How's that possible" Cynthia gasped.

Cyrus laughed "It's easy. Those crystals contain the essence of the original one. No pathetic attacks like those could break them."

"Then I've got no choice" Ash said. He pulled out his Pokedex and pressed a button. Three Pokeballs on his waist then transported away. Ash then turned to the possessed Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie "Forgive me all of you, but it's the only way to set you free." Ash then pulled out three Master Balls and tossed them at all three of them.

"No you fool stop" Cyrus shouted alarmed. The three Pokeballs connected with each one of them and they disappeared and went inside of them with a flash. As the Pokeballs landed on the ground and began shaking Cyrus shouted "No I will not allow them to be captured." The jewel in his hand glowed again, but nothing happened and then the Pokeballs stopped shaking and went still signifying a successful capture. "Why didn't it work" Cyrus said staring at the jewel.

"Because Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie fought you off at the last second with all of the willpower they had left" Ash said picking up the three Pokeballs. "Now that they've been captured you no longer have any control over them at all."

"Which means now you don't have the power to control Dialga and Palkia" Cynthia concluded "Give it up Cyrus." Dialga and Palkia began to fade away without the Lake Guardians to sustain them long enough to take physical form.

"I wouldn't say that" Cyrus smirked and raised his hand with the jewel in it up at them. Then a flash later and Dialga and Palkia took solid form and were trapped by the circles as they turned to chains and trapped them there.

"No way" Ash gasped "They're here, but how?"

"It must be those red chains" Cynthia said also shocked. "Those chains contain the power of the original one and he's using them to control Dialga and Palkia."

"Dialga, ruler of time; Palkia ruler of space" Cyrus shouted towards the two Legendaries "Combine your powers and create a new world."

"Ash get away from there, quickly" Cynthia shouted. Ash made a dash away from the center of Spear Pillar just as Dialga and Palkia launched twin beams from their mouths and they combined together and formed some kind of portal.

"What energy" Ash said shocked feeling the energy coming off of it.

"This is it" Cyrus shouted "Our new world is about to be born. I will finally bring order to this chaos."

"We won't let you" Ash shouted.

"Aim for those chains Ash" Cynthia called "If we can destroy them then we can stoop dDialga and Palkia."

"Got it" Ash called back "Latios use Luster Purge." Latios fired its signature attack at Dialga.

"Garchomp use Draco Meteor" Cynthia said. Garchomp roared and launched an orange ball into the air where it broke apart and began firing many of them at Palkia.

Cyrus' eyes glowed red again "Dialga use Roar of Time, Palkia use Spacial Rend." Dialga roared and shot a massive blue beam of energy form its mouth and fired it at Latios' attack while Palkia's arm glowed pink and then it launched a pink crescent energy blast at Garchomp's Draco Meteor attack. Spacial rend destroyed Draco Meteor, but it was a stand still so neither attack caused damage. Roar of Time, however, was much stronger then Latios' move and it tore through Luster Purge and continued right towards Ash and Latios.

"Ash no" Cynthia cried.

Three flashes later and the Lake Guardians appeared out of their Pokeballs with the crystals on their foreheads shattering and then they all cried out and formed a barrier to protect Ash and Latios. "Mesprit, Azelf, Uxie" Ash said shocked "You protected me."

'Of course' Azelf said telepathically. Its voice sounded like a female 'You saved us so we save you.'

'It's fair game Ash' Mesprit said telepathically. Its voice also sounded female.

'Plus you captured us so it's our duty as your Pokémon to protect you' Uxie finished. Its voice also sounded female.

"Thank you all of you" Ash said gratefully.

The portal was finished and Dialga and Palkia roared "It's done Lord Cyrus" a female grunt said "Let's go to our new world." Dialga and Palkia turned and roared at the two grunts as they tried stepping forward.

"I have no need for people like you in my world" Cyrus said. He had a zombified insane look in his eyes. "This is my world and my world alone. No one will be around to pollute my perfect world."

"I had a feeling this might happen" Charon said nonchalantly. Cyrus began walking towards the portal, but a blast stopped him in his tracks. Ash, the Lake Guardians and Latios appeared in front of the portal blocking it from Cyrus.

"You're not getting away with this Cyrus" Ash said. "Not while we're here to stop you."

"In that case I must eliminate you now" Cyrus said. He raised his hand with the jewel in it, but then a hand cuff was clasped onto his wrist.

"Not today Cyrus" Officer Jenny said. "You're under arrest for stealing the Adamant Orb, Lustrous Orb and for all the other problems Team Galactic has done."

"No" Cyrus shouted as other officers came in and began arresting him along with his grunts. "No my perfect world no" Cyrus cried. "I will not be denied, no" he shouted as the portal got farther out of his reach.

"Good job Ash" Cynthia said walking up to him "I couldn't have done it without you."

"Thanks Cynthia, but it was all thanks to Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie that I was able to accomplish it" Ash said looking at the mentioned trio. The three of them were currently conversing with Latios while flying around him.

"Speaking of those three" Cynthia continued "What are you gonna do with them now that you've caught them?"

"I don't know" Ash said quietly. "I can either release them to go back to their lakes or keep them and have them come with me. I really don't know what to do."

"We'll worry about that later" Cynthia said. "Right now let's free Dialga and Palkia from those chains."

"Right" Ash said. There were some cries behind them and they turned to see Cyrus running towards them with a hand cuff still stuck on his wrist. He was running towards the portal "No Latios Draco Meteor now." Latios glowed orange and launched the attack into the air and it exploded outwards and many meteors began falling onto Cyrus and it launched him back onto the ground. Dialga and Palkia hadn't been given a command in a while and the portal began closing. "Give it up Cyrus you have lost" Ash said.

"No, no, no you will lose" Cyrus shouted. He launched his hand forward and the crystal glowed brighter than ever "Dialga and Palkia my final order is that you destroy these two who have ruined my new world." The crystal then glowed brighter than ever and the crystal on Cyrus' hand shattered along with the rings surrounding Dialga and Palkia.

"Oh not good" Cynthia said. Dialga and Palkia turned and fired their signature attacks at them. Without thinking Ash grabbed Cynthia around the waist and jumped aside and shielded her from the blast.

"Cynthia you okay" Ash managed to grunt out from all the dust.

"I'm fine" Cynthia coughed. She blushed slightly when she realized Ash was on top of her. Ash hopped up quickly and helped her up as well. Cynthia turned to the cops who were recovering from the blasts as well "Everyone get out of here quickly. Dialga and Palkia are out of control now and could attack anyone." Still arresting the prisoners the officers led everyone out of here, but before Cyrus was lead out Cynthia stopped him and glared hatefully at him "I hope your proud of what you've done you fool."

"You destroyed my new world, it's only fair I do the same to you" Cyrus grinned insanely.

"Jenny, make sure he's imprisoned for life" Cynthia said scowling heavily.

"With pleasure" Jenny said leading Cyrus away roughly.

Dialga launched Roar of Time at them again making them half to jump away again. "Garchomp use Dragon Rush" Cynthia called. Garchomp gained a sapphire blue glow around it and charged at Dialga. It hit Dialga dead on and Dialga roared while jumping back and launched Roar of Time again and it hit Garchomp head on making Garchomp shout in public gain and fall to the ground on one knee.

"Latios use Giga Impact on Palkia" Ash called. Latios gained a purple glow around its body and launched itself at Palkia and hit it dead on. Palkia roared and then launched Spacial Rend at Latios. "Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie protect now" Ash called. The three of them appeared in front of Latios and cried out forming a massive barrier in front of Latios to defend him. "Alright now all of you use Psybeam" Ash called.

The red gem on their foreheads glowed and they all launched a psybeam that hit Palkia dead on launching Palkia back where it landed on the ground.

"Garchomp dragon pulse now" Cynthia called. Garchomp launched a green ball of energy at Dialga and it hit dead on making cry out in pain "Now Draco Meteor." Garchomp launched the attack and it hit Dialga head on sending it flying back. "Dialga please snap out of it. I don't want to hurt you."

Dialga roared and then launched Roar of Time again at Cynthia. "Latios Luster Purge and Darkrai Dark Pulse" Ash shouted releasing Darkrai. Both Pokémon fired their attacks and managed to block the Roar of Time from hitting Cynthia or her sea Garchomp.

Ash and the others ran over to Cynthia and for a few seconds they all just stared at Dialga and Palkia who were roaring with rage, "All that anger isn't their fault" Ash said quietly. Right now he was reminded of the incident with the Red Gyarados back in Mahogany Town of the Johto Region.

"I know" Cynthia said "Blame Cyrus for controlling them and forcing them to obey him."

Ash was silent as he stared at them 'Soon, both of you, I'll help to rid you of all of your anger and pain.' "It's time to end this. Darkrai use Dark Void on Palkia and the rest of you use Hypnosis on Dialga." Darkrai launched its signature attack at Palkia and it enveloped the ruler of space and when it disappeared Palkia fell to the ground asleep. Likewise, Dialga could not stand up to four hypnosis attacks from four Legendary Pokémon so it fell asleep as well.

"It's over" Cynthia said quietly. Ash walked up and pulled out two more master balls. He tossed them at Dialga and Palkia and they hit. They opened up and both Pokémon were sucked inside of them. The Pokeballs hit the floor and they twitched and turned for a few seconds before going still, but the button in the center staid red showing they were inactive until Ash made a transfer.

"They'll be okay now" Ash said picking up the two Pokeballs.

SCENE BREAK

They were all above ground now with Officer Jenny and the rest of the cops arresting Team Galactic grunts and all of J's spare men that didn't get away. "I can't thank you two enough" Jenny said to Ash and Cynthia. "Thanks to your help we managed to take down Team Galactic and with minimal damage. I'm most grateful."

"And thanks to you for all of your help" Cynthia said.

"If you'll excuse me I must go and continue my investigation. Take care now" Jenny saluted as she got on her motorcycle and drove away along with the rest of the cops and all of the prisoners.

"I guess this is goodbye for now Cynthia" Ash said.

"So it seems" Cynthia said.

Ash pulled out the Pokeballs containing Dialga and Palkia "Don't worry I'll take good care of them just as you would." Cynthia smiled at Ash "And just like Latios, they'll both be my friends." Ash then turned to the Lake Guardians "I also want to thank you three for all of your help. We couldn't have done it without you." The Lake Guardians smiled at Ash "But I want to know if you three would like to go back to your lakes and rest in peace or would you like to come with me. I'll respect your decision no matter what it is." Ash was then blasted with three water guns making him fall to the ground spluttering while Latios, the Lake Guardians and Cynthia all laughed at him. "What was that for" Ash asked.

'For being silly, silly' Mesprit said telepathically.

'You saved us from Team Galactic and that Pokémon poacher' Azelf continued 'Of course we'd want to come with you.'

'Plus it gets kind of boring staying at the bottom of a lake for many years and it'd be kind of nice to see other places 'Uxie finished. 'Also if the rumors about you and all the Legendaries you captured are true then it's bound to be an exciting adventure.'

Ash smiled "Thank you both" he said "I promise to take care of all three of you." Ash then returned all three of them to their Pokeballs and climbed on top of Latios. "See you next time Cynthia" Ash waved. Latios gave a goodbye coo and they flew out of sight back to Hearthrome City with Cynthia waving goodbye until they were out of sight.

'That Ash is really something special' Cynthia thought. She remembered back to when Ash saved her from Dialga's attack and blushed slightly and put a hand to her rapidly beating heart.

SCENE BREAK

It was near dark when Ash got back to Hearthrome City. Ash had Latios land in an unpopulated area so no one would see them. Ash hopped off of Latios "Thank you my friend" Ash said gratefully "Now take a long rest." Ash returned Latios to his Pokeball and clipped it back onto his necklace. Ash then decided to walk back to the Hotel he and Dawn were staying at.

He got there quickly and walked inside and was greeted by Dawn's face in his making him yelp and almost fall on his butt "Hey Dawn you're still up" Ash asked.

"Well of course I'm still up" Dawn said "I've been waiting for you to come back for over six hours now. Now, come on, tell me what happened." They took a seat on the couch and Ash began recounting his tale of when he and Cynthia got there to when they departed "Whoa that's one heck of a story" Dawn said wide eyed.

"Yeah" Ash said "And ion the end I walked away with a lot more than I thought I would."

"What do you mean" Dawn asked.

Ash pulled out five Pokeballs and placed them on the table in front of them "Me and Cynthia managed to save the Lake Trio, but I had to capture them in order to set them free. Then before Cyrus was dragged off he ordered Dialga and Palkia to kill me and Cynthia." Dawn gasped at this "But we managed to weaken them enough for me to put them asleep with Hypnosis and Dark void. Then I captured them as well."

"So you now have five new Pokémon" Dawn asked.

Ash nodded "I knew I needed to help Dialga and Palkia. They were in so much pain and filled with so much rage. I promised myself to help rid them of their anger and pain before I captured them and I intend to do that." It was really dark outside so the two of them turned in quickly for bed and fell asleep quickly. Before he went to sleep Ash decided he'd battle the Hearthrome city Gym tomorrow and then get to a secluded spot to work with Dialga and Palkia.

SCENE BREAK

A balloon shaped Pokémon was hit hard with an energy attack and launched into the wall where it slid down to the ground with swirls in its eyes. A ref raised a green flag "Drifblim is unable to battle. Azelf is the winner. The victor is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town."

"Good job Azelf" Ash said as Azelf floated back over to Ash smiling and cooing happily.

Fantina walked over to Ash and smiled "That was a good battle Ash" she said with a part French accent. "As proof of your victory here's your Relic Badge." Ash took the badge and thanked Fantina before he and Dawn left the Gym.

"So where are we heading next" Dawn asked.

"First we need a quiet and secluded place" Ash said "Azelf teleport us to the Top of Mt. Coronet." Azelf nodded and its eyes glowed and then Ash and dawn were teleported to the top of Mt. Coronet. The wind was fierce and dawn started shivering until she put a jacket on making her feel slightly better. Living in Kanto, Ash was use to cold so this didn't bother him.

"What are we up here for" Dawn shivered. Ash pulled out the two Pokeballs that had the center glowing red and then he pulled out his Pokedex and pressed a few buttons. The center on the two Pokeballs stopped glowing and two Pokeballs on Ash's waist started glowing.

"I promised I would help Dialga and Palkia and that's what I'm gonna do" Ash told Dawn. "Alright Dialga, Palkia come on out" Ash called tossing the two Pokeballs into the air. Dialga and Palkia appeared in a flash with two loud roars and they both still looked very angry as they glared down at Ash.

"Ash something's telling me this wasn't such a good idea" Dawn said nervously.

Ash ignored her and only focused on the two dragons in front of him. Ash then pulled out another Pokeball and released Uxie. "Uxie" Ash said to the little Pokémon "I need you to help me communicate with Dialga and Palkia to help them calm down."

'Okay' Uxie said telepathically and flew behind Ash and landed on his head. Uxie then glowed briefly and Ash closed his eyes.

'Dialga, Palkia' Ash said telepathically with Uxie's help. Both dragons stopped growling in surprise. 'I mean you no harm' Ash continued. 'The one who summoned you and controlled you is gone.'

'That may be true, but a human still controls us' Palkia hissed back at Ash 'and that human is you.'

'I know, but I would never force you to do something against your will' Ash responded back. 'I only wish to help you two.'

'Help us' Dialga laughed coldly 'Humans have tried that pitiful line before. What makes you any different?'

'Please listen to him Lord Dialga, Lord Palkia' Uxie spoke up.

'Uxie' Palkia said surprised 'You are with this human as well?'

'As are Mesprit and Azelf' Uxie said. 'Please trust me on this one. He is not like other humans; his heart is pure and untainted.'

'It'll take more then you to convince me Uxie' Dialga said.

Uxie turned and nodded to Ash who nodded back. Ash pulled out a Pokeball from his waist and unclipped the one from his necklace "Latios and Darkrai come on out." The Eon Pokémon and the Pitch Black Pokemon appeared in a flash.

'Little Latios is that you' Palkia said surprised. Latios blushed slightly as the others looked at Latios before snickering slightly.

'Hello Lord Palkia it's been a long time' Latios greeted. He gained a tick in his eyes when he heard the others snickering 'Shut it or I'll Luster Purge all of you.' They shut up since they all knew Latios would follow up on his threat.

'Still got that temper I see' Palkia chuckled slightly making Latios blush a bit more. 'How's Little Latias doing?'

'She's fine' Latios responded 'She's also gotten a lot stronger as well. Now, even I can barely stand up to her.'

'It's times like these I enjoy being a dark type' Darkrai said.

'Not when Miracle Eye is used you don't' Latios countered. Darkrai glared at Latios while Latios chuckled quietly.

'If you all are done with your little 'la-di-da' nostalgia can we get on with this' Dialga asked annoyed.

'Right' Uxie said and then told Darkrai and Latios what was going on now.

'I understand' Latios said while Darkrai nodded. 'I beseech you my lords. Ash is different from most humans. He cares for everyone of his Pokémon and never does anything against them nor does he make them do anything they do not wish to do.'

'I agree with Latios' Darkrai said. 'I use to think the same way about humans as you two did, but Ash proved to me that not all humans are scum and if you would give him a chance then you would see it too.' Dialga and Palkia were silent for a few seconds before they turned and nodded.

'One chance' they both said. 'He has one chance to prove himself worthy.'

'I promise you both that I will not abuse this chance you gave me' Ash promised and then bowed to the both of them. Dialga crouched down to Ash's level and stared him in the eye.

'You are one peculiar human' Dialga said 'the future looks bright.'

'Oh please you're only saying that because you're the master of time' Palkia snorted.

'Jealous' Dialga smirked.

Palkia twitched 'I'll show you jealous when I launch you up into outer space and let your float there for all eternity.' Ash and the others began laughing as Dialga and Palkia argued back and forth. But Dialga was right about one thing; the future did indeed look bright.
