Previously in Pokemon Chaos and Order...

Our heroes came face-to-face with the mastermind behind the hostile takeover of the Ultra Beasts, Lusamine. After her expositing to our heroes about her plan, she tried to attack the group but was foiled by Red.

Keldeo then went to face Kyurem and defeat it once and for all, while Lusamine was able to kidnap Serena and leave the whole group unconscious.

.......................................................................

Ash, Nate, Dawn, Red, Gary, Leaf, Kevin, Lillie, Jessie, James, Meowth and all their Pokemon were lying on the ground next to a Pokemon Center, unconscious. Ash seems to be in worse condition than the rest, considering the fact that he was electrocuted instead of hypnotized.

"You musn't give up now..." a male voice told Ash, whose face began to twitch. "She needs you now more than ever..." a female voice spoke too. Ash then shot his eyes open. "SERENA!" He cried in horror.

"Relax Ash! You must control yourself!" The male spoke again, causing Ash to hold his head, as it was hurting. "What the...?" He murmured, still not completely awake. "We promised you that we will be there when you passed our test..." the female said as she knelt down in front of him. "And we are keeping that promise!"

Ash's vision finally stopped blurring and he could clearly see that the people in front of him were the same people who talked to him and Serena when they were in an underground cave beneath the Desert Resort (All the way back in Chapter 11).

"I remember you two!" Ash said. "Who exactly are you?" He asked. The two sighed and stood up. "I am Prince Jan!" Said the man. "Greatest warrior of my time and son-in law of King AZ!" "I am Princess Aila!" Said the female. "Princess of the ancient Kalosian Empire and biological daughter of King AZ!"

Ash's eyes widened. "Wait wait wait wait wait!" He said rapidly. "You two are the couple from that legend I read in Unown?!" He asked. "We are..." said Jan. "And we are here today to assist with your problem!" Aila replied. "Just like we promised..."

"I have so many questions... but I don't have time right now!" Ash said. "We know..." Aila said. "We need to wake up your friends! Can your Meowstic help?" Jan asked. "I'm afraid not my love..." she said. "Only male Meowstic can learn the move we are in need of..."

"Then perhaps I can be of some assistance..." the three heard a male, raspy voice coming from behind them. The man was unnaturally tall with long, white hair. He was wearing a black trench coat, a green scarf and an orange beanie.

"FATHER!" Aila snapped at the man, as she and Jan went to their battle positions. The man smiled a sad smile. "It's been 3,000 years my daughter..." he said. "I do not blame you for not forgiving me yet... what I did was unforgivable and inexcusable. I let my grief blind my judgment as king, and I will not allow another human being to make a genocide as big as the one I'm responsible for, just for some irrational selfish desires!"

"What is it you want?" Jan asked, lowering his guard a little. "I wish to help you..." he said as a Pokemon flew from behind him.

Jan and Aila gasped. "Floette..." Jan said. "You've forgiven him...?" Aila asked. The Pokemon, a Floette, nodded with a smile. AZ smiled. "Misty Terrain..." he said. Floette nodded before lifting her flower above her head. The flower releases a thick light blue and pink mist, which Floette then sprays on the sleeping heroes, creating a terrain of mist.

Slowly but surely, they all began to wake up. "What's going on...?" Leaf asked as she sat up. "What's going on is that they took Serena!" Ash exclaimed. "WHAT?!" "PIKA?!" Nate and Pikachu exclaimed in shock.

Ash then turned his cap around, the visor facing his back. "Okay listen up!" He said. "There's an army of monsters escaping from holes in the sky, hellbent on whipping out all life on Earth! Other then that, one of us is being held wherever and going through Arceus-knows what! I’ve heard lots of stories from my brother about how they saved the world multiple times, and today is no different. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you came from, what you were or what you became at one time or another. We’re going to save the world and bring Serena back safely!"

Nate was the first one to stand up. "I cannot agree with you more!" He said. "My sister is in danger! And we need to save her!" One by one, everyone stood up. They then raised their fists in the air, showing that they are not afraid.

"How intriguing..." the group heard a voice. It was familiar to some and unfamiliar to others, but when they turned around, it was unmistakable that the voice belonged to Ghetsis and Natalie, who were standing on to of the arena where the Vertress Conference took place.

"You are just ignorant children and old people who don't know their time has past!" He exclaimed. "You have no idea about the greatness of Lusamine's plan! She will finally bring peace to the world!"

"You sure do talk a whole lot but you're not making any sense at all!" Gary shouted. "Watch your tongue, boy!" Ghetsis said before tapping on the roof of the arena twice with his cane. The arena then broke apart, revealing a giant castle.

"How did they do that...?" Kevin asked. "No clue!" Ash replied. "But we're gonna stop 'em!" He continued. As soon as Ash finished his sentence Ghetsis' Bisharp appeared behind them. Bisharp readied its Guillotine attack and charged at our heroes.

Suddenly, an Excadrill comes out of the ground. Excadrill then put its arms up to its head and forms its body into a drill. It then jumps into the air and rotates its body while charging at Bisharp, stabbing Bisharp with its drill-like body.

Our heroes turn around slowly, unsure of what just happened. But a voice that filled them with hope spoke up before any of them could ask any questions. "Not bad at all lil' Whipper Snappers!" It was Clay.

"You're Driftveil's..." Natalie murmured. "CRUSH HIM!" Ghetsis commanded while throwing a Pokeball forward and releasing a Hydreigon. Hydreigon then begins to charge at Clay.

Clay smirked. "Ya know, it ain't just me..." he said. Suddenly, a Garbodor dropped in out of nowhere. Garbodor puts its hands together, and a silver light starts sparkling between them. The light then turns into a black bag of garbage outlined in purple, which Garbodor hurls at Hydreigon. It explodes on impact, sending pieces of glowing purple garbage flying.

"So sorry..." a female voice said as she walked over next to Garbodor with her guitar. "We all decided to stop by..." said Roxie. The group then heard a galloping sound. When they turned around, they saw a Zebstrika running over to them, with someone on its back.

The Zebstrika stopped and shot a yellow and blue bold of lightning, surrounded by purple rings, from its horn at Hydreigon. The person on Zebstrika's back got down. "Ignoring something of this magnitude?" She said. "Don't you know that will be a horrible thing for us, Gym Leaders to do..." Elesa said while messing with her hair.

Bisharp then began to get up, but a Leavanny jumps over in front of it. Leavanny glows a faint greenish yellow. Numerous green and yellow balls appear and float around it as a larger ball forms between its antenna and it fires a green and yellow beam of energy at Bisharp.

Leavanny's Trainer then walked next to it. "You see we must do everything that we can, for the sake of every person and Pokemon as well..." Burgh said as him and Leavanny bowed, as if in the middle of a concert.

Hydreigon readied another attack when suddenly a Beartic jumped over, together with its Trainer. Beartic pulls back one of its arms and then a blue icy aura surrounds the hand on that arm. Beartic then punches Hydreigon, defeating it instantly. "You will not escape justice that easily!" Brycen said.

Ghetsis' face was one of pure rage as he called forth another Pokemon, a Drapion. Before Ghetsis could give out an attack, a Swanna came flying in. The inside of Swanna's beak glows light blue and it takes in a deep breath. It then releases multiple light blue and orange bubbles from its beak at Drapion. The Swanna then lands next to its Trainer.

"Unova's skies will be safe with me!" Exclaimed Skyla. Before Drapion could recover, a Pansage and an Axew also came dropping in from nowhere. Pansage opens its mouth and fires multiple glowing green seeds from its mouth that explode on impact with Drapion.

Simultaneously, Axew creates a light purple orb of energy inside of its stomach. It then fires a powerful fiery orb of purple and orange energy in the shape of a dragon at Drapion, knocking it out. Cilan, Iris and Drayden then walk up. "I can certainly sympathize with some of what you say..." Drayden said. "But I cannot ever forgive the way... YOU REJECT EVERYTHING ELSE!" He barked.

Ghetsis gritted his teeth before grinning. "It appears that I'm defeated..." he said, shocking his daughter. "But you have not yet won!" He exclaimed. "Inside this fortress are the 5 other Leaders of Team Rainbow Rocket. You must defeat them to achieve any sort of victory..."

Nate looked angry. "If you're going to get in there, I'm going with you!" He told the Gym Leaders. "Serena's my sister, and I don't want anything bad happening to her. But from my resume of battling I don't think I'm fit to tackle Lusamine head on..."

"We're coming with you!" James and Meowth said as Jessie nodded. Ash then returned some of his Pokemon to their Pokeballs. "Here..." he said as he handed Talonflame's, Bulbasaur's, Squirtle's and Snorlax' Pokeballs to Jessie and James. "You need as much help as possible..." he said.

Nate and the Rocket Trio nodded before rushing inside the castle with the Gym Leaders. "DAWN!" A voice came from somewhere behind them. They turned around and saw...

"Barry?!" Dawn said in shock. "What are you doing here?!" "I was about to enter the Vertress Conference, when I realized I was a bit too late..." he explained. "I was going to fine someone when those creatures came flying in from everywhere AND nowhere! So I... became worried about you and came to find you..."

Dawn blushed. "You... were worried... about ME...?!" She said in shock. "I was, but now I see you're okay!" Barry replied. "Did they do something with the place?" He asked while looking at the castle. "This is a big part of the reason why the creatures are here..." Dawn said.

"Then I'm going in!" Barry said with overconfidence as he started to prance in. "WAIT!" Dawn grabbed his wrist. "What is it Dawn?" He asked her. "It's too dangerous for you to go alone!" She cried out. "You're way behind the group who went in. So I'm coming with you!"

"No way Dawn!" Barry exclaimed. "If it's too dangerous for ME here, then it's too dangerous for you too! Now let me go before I fine y..." Barry was interrupted by a shock to everyone. Dawn had kissed Barry one the lips. It took him a moment to get over the shock, but he eventually kissed her back.

(I know Dawn is the one who seems shocked but it's the best pic I could find...)

The two eventually parted due to lack of air and blushed. "I'm not leaving you alone Barry..." Dawn said in passionate tone. "Do you understand why?" "I do now..." Barry replied. "So you can fine me however you want later but right now we have a mission!" She said before Barry nodded.

The two of them ran inside the castle, leaving the others to ponder what the Reverse World just happened. "Well that was..." Gary started. "Random?" Red said. "Out of place?" Leaf said. "Uncomfortable?" Lillie said. "Weird?" Kevin said. "All of the above?" Ash said.

"Guys!" Multiple voices cried out at once. Those voices belonging to May, Max, Drew, Clemont, Korrina, Bonnie, Trevor, Tierno, Shauna, Aria, Sawyer, Miette, Trip, Amber, Ellie, Star and Marco (inform me if I've missed someone...).

"What's going on?!" Trip asked. "And where's Serena?" Ellie asked. "And who are they...?" Marco asked, pointing at Jan, Aila and AZ. "Long story with these three..." Ash said. "A crisis is what's going on now and Serena's been taken by one of those creatures that came out of these holes in space!" He explained.

"Then I think we might be of some assistance..." yet ANOTHER voice said. YET AGAIN, our heroes turned around. They saw Grace, Ash's mother, Delia, Prof. Oak and two new people. One of them was a dark-skinned man with spiky brown hair and eyes that appear to be closed. The other was a ginger-haired girl with greenish-blue eyes.

"BROCK?! MISTY?!" Ash exclaims in shock. "You know them?" Star asks. "They're two Gym Leaders from Kanto..." Red explained. "And they travelled with me, Leaf and Ash throughout Kanto..."

"What are you doing here?" Gary asks. "We can't let you have the fun all to yourselves Oak-Tree!" Misty teases him, which causes him to blush. "What Gary meant to ask was, how on Earth did you know about what was going on?" Ash asks.

"When you told Prof. Oak you wanted your old Pokemon back, he had a suspicion that you were battling in the League..." Brock explained. ""Apparently I was correct..." Prof. Oak said. "We came here to watch you in the League, but we were a tad too late..." Delia said.

"So might as well help you out with the crisis..." Misty said. "I would usually refuse a Helping Hand from the same girl who slapped me when we first met..." Ash began. "But with the threat level we're facing, I'm open for any and all help!"

"Which is why I'm here!" Grace said. "A camera crew captured what happened to my baby-girl LIVE on TV, so I had to come here and save her!" She continued. "So I see we're big enough to count as an army..." Ash said.

"I think we should split up..." Ash said. "A large group is already in the castle taking care of big problems, so we need to figure out who does what..." Red stepped up. "I'm coming with you!" He said. "Brothers look out for each-other!" Ash nodded. "In this case I'm coming too!" Leaf said, a slight blush on her face.

"Count me, Gladion and Kevin in too!" Lillie said. "That's right! Lusamine is Lillie's and Gladion's mom! We'll be happy to help!" Kevin replied and Gladion nodded. "I'll take it that you'll be coming too Grace..." Ash wondered.

"Absolutely Ash!" Grace exclaimed. "I'm not leaving Serena! Not after everything that's happened to her!" Ash nodded and turned over to the rest of the group. "The rest of you save as many people as possible and defeat as many of these Ultra Beasts as you can!" Ash said.

"Who made you the boss?!" Tierno barked. "Huh?" Ash said, confused. "You're putting yourself in charge just so that Serena will like you!" Ellie said, her eyes glowing red. "For the love of... TIERNO!" Trevor tried to reason with Tierno, but he just swatted Trevor away, causing him to fall into Shauna's arms, as she was ready to catch him.

"Listen to me Ash!" Tierno said in a threatening tone. "Your status as Champion doesn't scare me! The only reason you're Champion is because you never battled ME! So here's what's gonna happen; you're gonna leave me in charge, because deep down you know Serena doesn't like youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Tierno's Ludicolo has hit Tierno with its Thunder Punch, just to shut him up.

"THAT'S how I was acting...?" Trip whispered to Miette. She nodded. "Well I was pathetic..." "Don't feel bad, I was probably like this too..." Miette whispers back. "At least I'm not the one receiving this treatment..." Brock joked.

Ash cleared his throat. "Uh... any other questions...?" Ash tried to sound intimidating and confident, but he just came out as confuses and scared. Despite that, everybody shook their heads and spread out all around the city leaving Ash's small group behind.

"So now the question rises..." Ash said. "How do we open up an Ultra Wormhole?"

BOOM!

An Ultra Wormhole opened up right next to them. "This is probably one way..." Kevin said jokingly. Out of the Ultra Wormhole came a creature that looked like it was folded with Origami into the shape of a being made of swords.

"I'm counting on you!" Red exclaimed as he threw a Pokeball forward, releasing his Charizard. "FIRE BLAST!" Red commanded. Charizard takes in a deep breath and releases a ball of light blue fire from its mouth. The ball of fire then turns into a 大-shaped flame that is fired at the Ultra Beast.

With swift movements, the beast jumped out of the way of Charizard's Fire Blast. Before it could retaliate with an attack of its own it was hit by a blast of gold-rose colored fire, which knocks it out in one hit. The group looked up and saw what fired the attack.

It was an avian Pokemon resembling a phoenix and a peacock. Its feathers are predominantly gold and red, with yellow tail-feathers, a white underside, and green feathers at the tip of its wings. It had a green stripe on its neck, a yellow beak, black rings around its red eyes, and a feathered, yellow crest on its head. Its wings are prismatic, causing it to trail a rainbow behind it. It has darkly colored feet and legs with four toes and long talons.

"Ash Ketchum..." it spoke telepathically. "I choose you..."

.......................................................................

Hey guys! Infinityalbi10 here! Well... we're almost done with the book. I remember that when I first started to write this, I wrote 5 Chapters as drafts and then published all 5 at once when they were done. And now I must wonder... would you like me to do the same with the last 5 Chapters (Chapter 60 is an epilogue of sorts)?

Would you like to wait a week (at most) and have all the last 5 Chapters ready at once, or have 5 Chapters individually published? Let me know in the comments...

Anyways, here's the summary for the next Chapter (as always):

Ash and his friends have come face-to-face with the Legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh, the Rainbow Guardian. Ho-Oh said it has chosen Ash for something, and this will help him save Serena.

Meanwhile Nate, Dawn, Barry, the Rocket Trio and the Gym Leaders head deeper into the Castle and face the leaders of Team RR. Little do they know, they might bite down on a little more that they can chew...

What has Ash been chosen to be? Will our heroes be able to rescue Serena? What of Keldeo? Will it be able to defeat Kyurem without Ash's help?

Find out next time... AS THE CRISIS CONTINUES!

Thanks for reading! 😊
