Pidgey:Pidgeeeeeeey!!!

A pidgey tries to hit Mask with a Tackle but he dodges the attack and grabs the pidgey by its head before slamming him onto a tree as he then teleports and reappears behind three Pidgeotto's grabbing hold of all three before throwing each one of them to different directions

Mask:Alright now the only ones left are the—

One the two Pidgeot's shouts as he tries to surprise attack Mask with a Brave Bird but Mask turns around in time and stops the Pidgeot before it could land the hit

Ash:Nice try but not fast enough

Pidgeot:Geoooot!!

The other Pidgeot tried to get him with an Aerial Ace but Mask decide to put the two against each other and jumps over the pidgeot who tried to get him with Brave bird while still holding onto him before letting go and making him go directly at the other pidgeot as the impact of the two creates a small explosion that makes both of them faint

Mask: *sighs* That all? I was actually enjoying myself right now? did you guys also have fun?

Mask turns to other fainted pidgey's and Pidgeotto's

Mask:Yeah I'm sure you did

Kleavor: *appears in front of Mask* Klea

Mask:Ah! my old friend welcome back how are our targets doing?

Kleavor:Kleavor Klea Kleavor

Mask:Hmmmm is that so *takes out a pokeball and returns Kleavor* I'll handle the rest from here pal but don't worry you'll be back soon I promise *puts his pokeball away and starts walking away from the fainted Pokemon as he teleports away

"BURBLE!!!"

The sound of Babbles, Ripples and Trickles is heard from an area in the forest as we are first presented to the tall trees that can be seen all over the forest and some bushes that stand beside it but as we move away from them and into an open area that can be hit by the sun we find a white, frothy cascade of water falling into a plunge pool that being a called a water fall

"Poli! Poli!"

"Poliwhirl!"

"Poli! Po Po Po Po"

"Wrath! Poliwrath! Poli!"

"Politoed!"

Politoed, Poliwag, Pokiwhirl and Poliwrath

Near this waterfall was a group of all the Poli's evolutions in which they were having a party of some kind where Politoed was showing them a dance while the other Poli's watch happily and cheer for Politoed but you could also see some Poliwag's in the water having fun and laughing, Poliwhirl's were mostly sotting by enjoying the dance or talking amongst one another and lastly you have Poliwrath who seemed to be like the only one that was in the evolution which meant he was the leader of this group

Politoed:Politoed Politoed Poli Poli Poli!

Poliwag:PoPoPo Poliwag

Poliwag:Poli Po Poliwag

Poliwhirl:Whirl! Poliwhirl

Poliwag:Poli PoPo

Poliwhirl:Poli Poliwhirl *spots something in the sky* Poli?

Politoed:Politoed Politoe *stop dancing and like Poliwhirl spots something in the sky* Politoed? *points at what he sees* Politoed!

Poliwrath:Poli?

Poliwag:Poliwag?

All of the Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Politoed and Poliwrath look up to see something smoking and falling down towards where they are and as it got closer the group was able to get a clear view of what this was and to their surprise it was a Pidgeot and not just any Pidgeot but Ash's Pidgeot who's left wing was smoking and damaged but while she had that problem there was another which was the fact that both Ash and Pikachu were knock out and would not wake up so now she's holding onto both of them in her back has they fall

Taking a look back she sees that they are still both unconscious and when she looks forward again her eyes widen when she see that she's heading straight towards trees that are near a waterfall and with one of her wings injured she can't make a move to survive this fall so she does the unthinkable and use the move Twister to change the hold she has on Ash and Pikachu and while this was risky she was able to spin in the air to both keep Ash and Pikachu in the air long enough for her to turn around and then catch them with her wings as she then curls up into a ball and uses herself as a shield to protect Ash and Pikachu from all the tree branches that hit her back before appearing above the pool of water the Poli's are

Poliwrath:Poliwrath!

Politoed/Poliwhirls/Poliwag:Poli!!

Politoed and Poliwhirls all fire a hydro pump while the Poliwags fire a water pulse and together they hit Pidgeot not to harm her but to slow down her descend down towards where they are

Poliwrath:Poliiiii! *starts running towards the pool of water with an Ice Punch* Wrath!

Poliwrath using Ice Punch punches a spot that was below where Pidgeot was going to land and makes an ice platform for her to land into

Poliwrath: *looks at two Poliwhirls* Poliwrath!

Poliwhirls: *both nod* Poli!

Both Poliwhirls use Aqua Jet to dash straight towards Pidgeot and catch her with their hands before slowly descending down to the ice platform with her

Poliwrath:Po Po Po Poli!

Commanding them to let her go the Poliwhirls release Pidgeot and she lands safely onto the ice platform

Pokémon Translate time (been awhile since I've done this)

Once Pidgeot was safely placed on the ice platform one of her wings fell to the side which revealed Ash and Pikachu

Poliwhirl:A human? and Pikachu?

Poliwhirl:Was Pidgeot trying to protect them from the fall?

Poliwrath:If she was it would seem that she is quite loyal to her master

Politoed:We should try to wake her up we might get answers as to why this happen?

Poliwrath:Yes that was my next coarse of action *approaches Pidgeot and starts shaking her* Hey! wake up, Pidgeot wake up!, Pidgeot can you hear me? Pidgeot!

In Pidgeot's point of view she couldn't see anything all that was presented to her now was but a black void of nothingness

???:Ake up

Pidgeot:Hu-Huh?

???:Ot wake up

Pidgeot:Huh?

???:Pidgeot!

Pidgeot: *eyes open* Huh!?

Pidgeot had opened her eyes and the first thing she sees is a Poliwrath, two Poliwags and Politoed looking at her worriedly and calmly

Pidgeot:Hu-Huh? where-where am I?

Politoed:Don't worry miss your safe now and so is your master and Pikachu

Pidgeot:M-My master and Pikachu? *realizes what it meant* Ash!!

Pidgeot looks at where she had placed Ash and Pikachu and sighs in relief seeing that they are safe but sadly still unconscious

Pidgeot:Thank Arceus that they are safe

Poliwrath:You care about them?

Pidgeot:Yes they are like family to me

Poliwrath:I see but are you okay? that was quite the fall you had experienced there

Pidgeot:I-I've felt worse *slowly starts to get back up* but I can't stop now I must return Ash and Pikachu home so the others could help me protect him

Politoed:Wow there friend easy there you took quite the tumble when you got here you should first take rest before flying away

Pidgeot:I'm sorry but I have no time to rest when there's a malicious man after my friend here

Poli's:What!?

Pidgeot:Please help me out of the water so I may continue my journey back to my friends home and receive help from his other Pokémon

Poliwrath:Hmm alright but maybe you should also receive help from the Pokémon he may have now

Pidgeot:Yes! that would most certainly help try and see if you can find a pokeball on him they still be on his belt has that's where he normally keeps them

Politoed: *nods* Alright

Politoed volunteers to search and fortunately he was able to quickly spot and grab one of the other pokeballs Ash had on him as he grabs it and throws it in the air bringing out whatever maybe inside

Coming out of the blue light of the pokeball is a humanoid looking one revealing itself to be the Aura Pokemon

Lucario

Lucario:Alright what's seems to be the prob— *sees the group of Poli's, injured Pidgeot and unconscious Ash and Pikachu* what the! Ash! Pikachu! *goes straight towards the two to see if they are okay* who-who did this?

Pidgeot:A malicious man wielding a strong Pokémon and strange abilities which almost ended Pikachu's life

Lucario:What!? *stands up and looks at Pidgeot determined* where is this man!? I'll show him why he shouldn't hurt my friends!

Pidgeot:I do not know but we must hurry to his home to receive help from his other Pokémon as this man did not show the rest of it's team

Lucario:Tsk! that won't stop me

Pidgeot:I may not but Ash's has suffered a lot in only a short amount of time it seems so we must make sure he and Pikachu are safe first before anything

Lucario:I see. . . . . . who are you anyways?

Pidgeot:I'm Ash's Pidgeot you?

Lucario:Lucario

Pidgeot:Well then Lucario help get out friend home safe

Lucario:You got it *looks at the Poli's* can you help me get her out of water

Poliwrath:We were going to help even if you didn't ask

Lucario: *nods* Thank you

Poliwrath: *looks at his group* Alright everyone let's help them out

With that Lucario and the Poli's together were able to get Pidgeot out of the water and into land where she and Lucario split off the Poli's and start to now make their way through the forest where they pass trees, bushes and sone boulders and rocks

Pidgeot: *stretches her wings a bit* Alright I've gain back my strength I should have enough energy to fly us to either his home or the professors lab

Lucario:Are you sure? with his injured you are is it wise for you to fly again?

Pidgeot:I would take it slow if there wasn't a malicious man after our friend

Lucario:I understand

Pidgeot:Then if you understand get on my back and make sure those two don't fall off

Lucario:Roger that

Doing has he was told Lucario gets on Pidgeot and organizes Ash and Pikachu so they could have a safe flight and ones everything was set Pidgeot had spread her wings and taken flight

Pokémon translate end

Back in Ash's house

In Ash's house we find at the front door of the house a Pokémon that's cleaning the floor with a broom and this Pokémon is the mime Pokémon

Mr.Mime

Mr.Mime: *humming* Mime mime mime mime mime mime mime

Pidgeot:PIDGEOT!!!

Mr.Mime:Mime?

Mr.Mime stops his cleaning and looks out into the distance to spot Pidgeot making its way towards them so seeing it as if it was trying to say hello Mr.Mime smiles and waves back

Mr.Mime:Mr.Mime! Mime!

Pidgeot:PIDGEOT!

Lucario:LUCA!

Mr.Mime:Mr.Mime?

After more inspection Mr.Mime could see Lucario on Pidgeot's back holding onto an unconscious Ash and Pikachu making his eyes widen in shock as he quickly drops the broom and makes his way inside the house

Mr.:Mime! Mr.Mime! Mime!

Entering the room she finds Misty and Dawn on the coach ignoring each other and Brock and Delia where coming out the kitchen with aprons

Delia:Mimey what's wrong?

Mr.Mime:Mr.Mime! *motions them to follow him* Mr.Mime!

Delia:Mimey?

Brock:I think it's telling us to follow him outside?

Misty:What could be so important that his telling us to go outside?

Delia: *approached her Pokémon* He looks to be scared and also worried Mimey what's wrong? what did you see?

"THUD!"

Dawn:I think that answers the question

Brock:Let's go

Everyone goes outside and finds Pidgeot breathing heavily while Lucario safely and slowly got the unconscious Ash and Pikachu off her back

The group:Ash! Pikachu!

Delia:My baby!

They all ran towards them to make sure that they were okay

Time Skip

We find Ash in a dark purple void that was all around him and while he could still move there was nothing for him to reach here

Ash:W-Where am I? *looks at his surroundings* Pikachu! Pidgeot! where are you!!

No one responds

Ash:Just where am I? and why am I here?

"Weak"

Ash:Huh? who said that!?

"Worthless"

"Disappointing"

Ash:Wa-Wait I know that voice

"Pathetic"

Ash:Nononononono leave me alone!

From the dark purple void a smiling sinister face appears in front of Ash

"You will always be this things don't forget that brat!"

Ash:Why won't you just leave me!!

"Weak, Worthless, Disappointing and Pathetic don't forget this words brat! BECAUSE THOSE WILL BE THE ONLY ONES YOU'll EVER REMEMBER!!!"

The sinister face's eyes and mouth began to glow red as it approached Ash while slowly opening its mouth and all that could be heard was but the boy's scream

Ash:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!! *opens his eyes*AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!

"ASH!"

Ash was in a panic and it seemed like he was going to fall off the bad and start trashing his surroundings but he was stopped by Brock and another male individual that was in the room

Ash:HAAAAYHH! RAAAAH! HAAAAAA!!

Brock:Ash calm down!

???:Please calm down Ash there's no reason to panic!!

Ash:HAAAAAAAA!

???:Boys! hold him still!

Another male individual comes and injects something on Ash's neck as after a few wrestles from him he soon calms down and goes back to sleep as the one who injected him places the needle on table close to where Ash was placed and sighs

Professor Oak

P.Oak:Ash my boy what could have happened to you out there on your way home?

Tracey

Tracey:I think that's the question we all want the answer Professor but the only ones who know of what happened are Pikachu and Pidgeot and we can't exactly communicate with them

Misty:Where are those two by the way shouldn't they still be resting after all they seemed to be the ones who took most of the damage returning here

Brock:Their outside talking to rest of Ash's Pokémon all but one it seems *turns to corner and sees Lucario in a meditating position* Lucario remains here by Ash's side

Misty:He's probably worried like the rest of them making sure that whatever happened doesn't happen again

Brock:Yeah

Tracey:But that's the thing "what happened"

Dawn: *looks at Ash with a worried expression* It just doesn't make sense he was so happy and cheerful after his battle with Leon *clenches her fist and tears start building up* I should have returned to pallet town with him this all my fault

Tracey: *tries to comfort her* Come Dawn don't say that

Misty: *places her hand on his shoulder* His right you couldn't have known this would happen so don't blame yourself for this girl

Dawn and Misty hug each other and while they did Misty took a glance at Ash and tears could also be building up from her eyes as she worries for the state her friend is in

Misty: *mind* Oh Ash please wake up normally and come back to us please

Delia: *stands beside the bed of her son and roughens his hair* Oh my baby boy please be okay

P.Oak:Don't worry Delia Ash will be fine all that we can just hope now is that he wakes up to his old self

Delia:I hope that what's happens I don't like to see him in this type of states it-it hurts my heart seeing my boy be like this

P.Oak: *places a hand on her shoulder* I know

Lucario opens one of his eyes and see the state everyone's in making let out a sad sigh as he too like Dawn feels guilty with what happened

Lucario: *mind* (How could I let this happen even from that reached thing so here I should have sensed that he was in danger! so why is that while he was slowly being humiliated and mentally being damaged I remained resting in that Arceus forsaken thing!)

???: *in Lucario's mind* (Lucario can you hear me!)

Lucario: *mind* (Huh? Is that you!? Gre—)

???: *in Lucario's mind* (Listen to me! you must quickly wake up Ash! he is in danger right now and "he" is almost there!)

Lucario: *mind* ("He"? are you talking about—)

???: *in Lucario's mind* (There's no time to explain! use your aura to make Ash wake up! now!)

Lucario: *mind* (On it!)

Lucario in the real world opens his eyes and dashes towards Ash getting everyone's attention

Dawn:Lucario?

Lucario goes on the bed and incases his right hand with aura

Brock:Wait Lucario! what are you doing!

Lucario:Luca!

Lucario thrust his arm forward and palm Ash's chest with aura which in an instant makes Ash's eyes open wide and gasp for air

Ash: *gasp!* Lu-Lucario?

Lucario: *smiles* Lucario! *hugs Ash*

Ash is a bit a slow but soon hugs his friend back and ones their hug finished he receives a bone crushing hug from his mother

Delia:My baby boy! your okay!

Ash:Do-Don't worry mom I'm-I'm fine

After that hug he got off the bed and got double hugged by Misty and Dawn who let out their tears after seeing that he was fine

Ash:Um guys?

Dawn: *with tears* Just shut up and let us hug you you big idiot

Misty: *with tears* Yeah! you had us worried you know

Ash:Um-m *smiles and hugs back* sorry for making you worried then I-I'll try not to make you worry again

After that hug he got a quick hug from Brock and Tracey who shared the same worries as the others and then came Oak who placed a hand on the boy's shoulder

P.Oak:Ash my boy! it is good to see you in good spirits please try not scare us like that again got it?

Ash:I-I'll try Professor but after what happened today things might have to change

P.Oak:Hmm? what do you mean by that Ash?

Ash:It-It's just that *he tries to remember but the thought of what happen quickly makes Ash's eyes widen and fall to his knees*

Everyone:Ash!

Lucario acts fast and goes to help Ash  back to his feet while looking at his master with a worried look that is shared with everyone else has the next person ti go help Ash was his mother

Delia:Ash dear what's going on? who did this to you and the others?

Ash:It's a man! a man wearing a mask * tears start to appear fast and start falling fast* he-he came out of nowhere and challenged me to battle but what we had wasn't a battle *looks at his mother with horrified and sad eyes* it was torture he hurt Dragonite and he almost made Pikachu disappear!

Everyone's eyes soon widen after hearing this but when came to Oak his eyes narrowed

P.Oak:Ash does the man that you battles have like a purple lighting bolt mark  on the right side of his mask

Ash:Ye-Yes! that's him!

Tracey:Do you know who Ash is talking about Professor?

P.Oak:Yes I do know who this is but not personally more like informationally

Dawn:What do you mean?

P.Oak:Before the Ultra class tournament and two months after Ash had won the Alola league four strong trainers were reported to have gone through torturous battles like Ash

Everyone:Huh? / What? / who could have done this?

P.Oak:Two of this people were strong trainers while the other three are well known individuals such as Bruno, Drake, Lance

Brock:Did you just say Lance the champion?

Misty:And Elite four members Bruno and Drake!?

P.Oak:Yes

Delia:Then why did he challenge Ash!? what could he want from him or what did my baby do to deserve this kind of treatment from such a man!

P.Oak:I do not know but the fact is that Ash escape and he's in one piece

Ash:No

The room grew silent the second Ash spoke because the thing is that he didn't have a cheerful tone when he said that he actually spoke in a more lifeless and monotone voice

Ash:His after me and he won't stop until. . . . . our battle is over

Lucario:Lucario?

Dawn:A-Ash

Misty:Ash?

Brock: *mind* What did that guy do to you Ash?

Ash:. . . . . . . . Professor Oak is there a way for me to have all my Pokémon with me without having the limitations of only having six?

P.Oak:Why do you ask?

Ash:His after me and he'll do anything to make sure I battle him so to keep you guys safe and keep my Pokémon safe with me I want to take all with me somewhere where he won't find us

Everyone:What!?

Misty:Are you insane!?

Dawn:What do you mean Ash!?

Delia:Ash! Please don't say stuff like that! I don't want to see you get hurt so stay!

Ash:Mom I don't want to see you or anyone I care about getting hurt I almost Pikachu because of him *hugs his mom* I ding want to lose you

Delia:Ash

Ash:Please mom

Delia:. . . . . . . Alright just make sure you'll come back to me

Ash:I will *looks at Oak*

P.Oak:Gather your Pokémon in their pokeballs and wait for me outside

Ash:Right *looks at Lucario* let's go

Lucario: *nods* Luca

P.Oak:Tracey get the pokeballs

Tracey:O-On it

Ash goes outside and is greeted by his Pokémon who are happy to see him and while he was also happy he had to be serious now and so he explained what was happening and his plans which shocked them but they understood and once Tracey came out with the pokeballs Ash had quickly started returning each and every one of them into their pokeballs and he was about to be done has only seven Pokémon remained

Brock:I'm going with you!

Ash:You can't Brock *looks at his friend* I'm not putting any of you at risk

Brock:You'll need someone to cook and to heal your Pokémon so let me come with you!

Misty and Dawn:Us too!

Ash:Guys *returns another pokeball before lowering down his arm* I'm sorry but this time I'm going to do things on my own and thanks to you Brock I've been able to cook and to heal better my Pokémon not at your level but it should be enough

Brock:Ash. . . . . . . your like a brother to me like you I don't want to see you getting hurt we don't want to see the same thing happening to you

Ash:Thank you Brock but *smiles at his bro* I'm serious about this

Brock could see the worry and the determination Ash had so even though it was painful for him he nodded his head accepting Ash's requested at the girl's dismay

P.Oak: *Comes out of the door* Ash take this *passes something to Ash*

Ash: *grabs it* What is this?

P.Oak:I call it the "master dex" thanks to your journeys and the help of some comrade professors I've created a pokedex that holds information of all Pokémon and can give accesses to a trainer to bring has many Pokémon has he would want

Ash:In-Incredible *smiles at the professor* You've really outdone yourself this time professor!

P.Oak: *smiles* I only show the best

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

This moment would have been wholesome if an all to familiar whistle did not appear the whistle itself made Ash's eyes widen, send shivers down his spine, make a lot of his small hairs stand up and even made his leg start shaking a bit

Ash:No

Pikachu: *knows what going on so he tries to get Ash back to his senses* Pika Pi Pikachu Pika Pikachu!

Ash:Ri-Right *wipes the sweat of his forehead* I can't let him get me

Brock:What is this whistle

Misty: *looks at Ash* Ash is this him?

Ash:. . . . . . .

Dawn:Ash?

Ash:All if you go back inside *narrows his eyes* his only after me *looks back at them* so please don't deny my request

Dawn: *worried* Ash

Brock:. . . . . . Everyone go back inside we'll intervene if things become worse or bad for him

Ash: *nods* Alright

Oak, Misty, Dawn, Brock and Tracey all head back inside the lab as when they did Ash turned towards the forest as the whistle slowly began to become louder and a figure could slowly be seen coming out of forest

Ash:Are you guys ready

Pikachu: *jumps off his shoulder and stands in front of him* Pikaa!

Lucario: *gets in his stance* Lucario!

"Sceptile!"

"Infernape!"

"Krokodile!"

Charizard

Charizard: *roar!* CHAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!

Charizard let's our a mighty roar which could be felt everywhere in the area as shockwaves were launched off him but that doesn't stop the whistling it only ignites a new flame that appears behind a figure

"ARCANINE!!"

The whistling stops and Mask is now in full view with a dark flaming figure standing right behind him as he stares menacingly at Ash

Mask:You know I wasn't really expecting this from you *puts his hands in his pockets* go up and run away with all your Pokémon for what? you know I'll still be after you so why waste my precious time

Ash:Shut it! I won't allow you to hurt the ones I love!

Mask:Hmph! if that's how your going to be than hope those Pokémon you left their for me are strong enough for Kleavor

Charizard:CHAAAAAAARRR!

Sceptile:Sceptile!

Krokodile:Krookodile!

Lucario:Luca! Lucario!

Infernape:Infernape!

Pikachu:Pika! Pikachu!

Mask:Well aren't you all just lovely and Pikachu! got to see you bud! how the rips?

Pikachu:Pikaaaaa

Ash:Ggrrrrr I won't let you do as you please with them but that doesn't mean I wont let you follow us after we leave

Mask: *chuckles* My dear friend you just don't get do you? I not letting you leave and that's final *grabs three pokeballs* isn't that right Arcanine?

The flames stop and big figure jumps over Mask and lands in front of him revealing itself to be Arcanine but it wasn't a regular one this one was much different

Arcanine (Hisuian)

Arcanine(H):Arca!

Ash:An Arcanine? but it look so different from the ones with've seen

Mask:Surprises don't end there brat let me bring out three more of my friends!

Mask threw in the air two other odd looking pokeballs and a normal pokeball which opened and out of their blue lights one familiar Pokémon appeared

Kleavor:Kleavooooor!!!

Ash:Kleavor

Pikachu: *glares* Pika

Kleavor stood besides Arcanine's left while to his right the other Pokémon that appeared from their blue lights were also new ones as one was a tall feline figure with three sharp claws

"Sneasler"

And to Sneasler's right was Pokémon that had the resemblance of knight

"Ceruledge!"

Ash:What are those Pokémon? *takes out the master dex and aims it the four opponents*

Ash looks at the screen which scans all four of the Pokémon but out of all of them it was only able to appear the information of one of the Pokémon and that was Ceruledge while the others were unknown

Ash:What? I thought the professor said it had all known Pokémon information

Back in the house we find said Professor having the same shocked expression as Ash in both the appearance of this Pokémon and the master dex not having information about them but we soon go back out and see Ash press the image of Ceruledge that was on the screen

Master Dex:Ceruledge the fire blades Pokémon, a ghost and fire type Pokémon, Ceruledge dons an old set of armor steeped in grudges and wields blades made of fire and ghost energy. In battle, these blades transform into great swords to increase Ceruledge's power. Cuts from these great swords leave wounds from which life energy will flow.

Ash:I would be amazed if he wasn't the one using it *puts the master dex away*

Mask:You done with your research brat? because I'm just about to start this!

After he said that right on cue all four of his Pokémon charged forward without even given an order as we see Kleavor charge forward with X scissor, Arcanine with Head Smash, Sneasler with Quick Attack and Ceruledge with Butter Blade

Ash: *mind* He didn't even call out a move! *out loud* Pikachu use Iron tail and Krokodile use Dragon Claw on Kleavor! Charizard Dragon Tail I'm Arcanine! Sceptile leaf blade and Infernape Match punch on that one with claws and Lucario use aura sphere!

Laying down all the commands both side Pokémon's charge at one another which es h having a different collision than the other

Kleavor X Scissor clashes with Pikachu's Iron tail and Krokodile's dragon claw

Charizard tail collided with Arcanine head as the two enter a battle of dominance

Sceptile tries to slice Sneasler with Leaf Blade but she slides under the blade and then dodges Infernape's Match Punch before charging at both of them with Quick Attack landing the hit and sending them both backwards to the ground

Lucario fires an aura sphere at Ceruledge but it cuts through the attack with Butter Blade and then charges at Lucario with the same attack

Ash:Dodge it and use Bullet Punch!

Lucario barely misses the flaming sword and then lunges at Ceruledge with bunch of hits using Bullet Punch before throwing one powerful punch to the face which make Ceruledge stumble backwards before getting his footing

Mask:So that's how you want to play huh *mind* Ceruledge use Astonish

Ceruledge: *nods* Ceru *his surroundings start to get darker* Ceru Ceruledge Ceru Ceru Ceru

Lucario: *surroundings start to get darker and he starts hearing Ceruledge voice taunting him* Luca? Lucario! Luca!

Ceruledge using Astonish mimics his voice to appear all over Lucario making him hear him his taunts, laughs and harsh words as he slowly approaches and lands a flaming slash at Lucario who stumbles back grunting from the hit and out of panic starts launching punches and kicks all around him

Ash:Lucario!

Mask: *mind* Keep up the Astonish *turns to Kleavor* now Kleavor quit playing with your prey push them away and use Stone Axe

Kleavor nods his head and uses his strength to push Pikachu and Krokodile back with X Scissor succeeding in the move has both were pushed ten feet away from him giving him enough space to dash straight at Krokodile with Stone Axe

Ash:Oh no Krokodile! use Crunch to catch the Axe!

Krokodile appears energy like teeth in front of him which surprisingly works as he bites down on his axe which only flinches Kleavor who goes to use his second axe for the attack

Ash:Pikachu! use Iron tail again to protect Krokodile!

Pikachu:Pika!

Pikachu lunges straight upwards and blocks the second axe with Iron Tail holding his ground Pikachu stays in that position

Ash: *turns to the Sceptile and Infernape* Sceptile Quick Attack! Infernape use Dig!

Mask: *mind* Dodge the Sceptile's attack and wait for the Infernape to rise from the ground

Sceptile dashes at Sneasler with Quick Attack and Infernape goes straight underground and starts digging straight towards where Sneasler is as Sceptiles tries the land the hit on Sneasler it dodges the attack but Sceptile was able to bounce back using his tail and heads straight towards Sneasler while Infernape appears from behind and goes to surprise punch her from behind

Mask:Take'em!

Surprise by this Ash witnesses Sceptile land the Quick Attack and Infernape land his punch on the back of Sneasler head

Mask: *mind* Now use counter!

Sneasler in incased in a purple aura that surrounds her completely as it takes quick attack to elbow Infernape in the gut begird slashing him with its claws and then goes to Sceptile as it kicks it in the shin before slashing him with both of her claws sending him back like Infernape

Mask: *mind* Now use Dire Poinson on Sceptile *looks at Arcanine* push him back and use Rock Throw

Sneasler smirks as she dashes at Sceptile with her claws now glowing with a poisonous color

Ash:Sceptile use Leaf Blade and counter it's claws!

Sceptile summons his blades and was able to block one of Sneasler's claws but unfortunately he could not block the second one which gets him earning him a purple color on his face meaning his was poisoned

Ash:Sceptile no!

Sceptile  falls to his knees feeling poisoned as he looks up weakly at Sneasler who's just looking down at him with a smirk while it licks the poison of one his claws

Sneasler: *giggles* Sne-e-e-easler

Sceptile:Scep! *tries to stand up but can't* tile

Ash:Infernape Flare Blitz!

Infernape was able to get back into the fight and charges at Sneasler with Flare Blitz trying to get a hit in by surprise but the planned failed ash Sneasler dodge the attack with Quick Attack and which leads to I get ape hitting Sceptile with Flare Blitz making it faint and before Infernape could even react he gets hit by Dire Poison as well before getting hit by bunch of slashes and kicks from Sneasler's close combat and Ash didn't see that as Ash's view changed direction when he heard something crash ti the ground he sees Charizard in the ground while Arcanine jumped in the air and fired a barrage of Rocks at Charizard using Rock Throw

Ash:Charizard!

Mask:Let's wrap it up!

He hears another thud and sees Lucario fall to the ground defeated by Ceruledge who stands victoriously in front of him

Ash:Lucario!

Kleavor having enough tosses Pikachu aside and hits Krokodile with Stone Axe on his back making the crocodile let him go before getting uppercut by the axe he was biting on and then getting hit by a strong X scissor that takes him down and as for Pikachu he lands on the ground and is shocked to see his friend already out as for Charizard he had enough and fires a flamethrower at Arcanine which does make the dog stop his attack and move away from him allowing him to stand up again

Ash:Charizard dodge!

Charizard heard his trainer's voice to late as before he could even do anything all four Pokémon of Mask attacked at ones with Kleavor starting off with landing a Stone Axe on both his shoulders making Charizard falls to his knees, Sneasler goes next and lands a double slash with Dire Poison at Charizard turning him poison, Arcanine later goes in and lands a head smash on Charizard's stomach pushing back so that Ceruledge jumps in the air and dashed straight at him with Butter Blade before appearing in front of the dragon has if he went straight through Charizard

Ash:Charizard! *watches as Charizard slowly falls to the side now knock out and defeated* nonononono

Mask:Just like that this battle has not brought anymore satisfaction how disappointing

Mask walks towards where Ash is which was where Charizard had fainted in front of the four Pokémon that took it down while being protected by Pikachu who had sparks in his cheeks while looking at the four Pokémon

Mask:You know when I saw that you showed different Pokémon that are not your own I really had hopes that you would bring me an actual battle now especially a Pokémon battle Royal style but I guess *right hand starts glowing purple* we can't all have everything has they say

Ash's friends and mom: *open the door and run out* Ash!

A sphere of some kind slowly appeared in Mask's  hands but before he could do anything

???: *telepathic* Leave him!

Something aimed at Mask interrupts his next move has he is forced to dodge an incoming shadow ball and Flash Cannon by teleporting alerting his Pokémon who appear in front of him as he reappears but something else appears but not in front of Mask but in front of Ash

Ash:Huh? *sees a familiar face* is that you?

Mask:Phew! that was close one *takes his other hand out his pocket* so I have a question? WHO'S THE IDIOT THAT DID THAT!!!?

"ROAR!"

"Us"

From the smoke two beings could be seen standing in front of Ash

Solgaleo or Nebby

Mewtwo

Mask:Aaah Mewtwo and Solgaleo while this is the first time I encounter Solgaleo it has been awhile Mewtwo how's the cave? *dodges an incoming water Shuriken* okay who is this time!

Another Pokémon lands in front of Ash and this one he shared a good bond with

Ash:is that?

Greninja

Greninja:Ja! *launches a water Shuriken*

Mask:Will-O-Wisp

Ceruledge counters the water Shuriken with it's Will-O-Wisp making sure that it hasn't reach any of them

Ash:Greninja

Greninja: *turns to Ash and nods* Nin ja

Mewtwo:Ash return the Pokémon that have been defeated and go with Greninja and Solgaleo they will take you somewhere safe

Ash:Mewtwo

Mewtwo: *turns to Ash and speaks through telepathy* Hurry I will hold him off

Mewtwo turns away from Ash and charges at the five opponents that were after him firing a shadow ball straight at them

Mask:You've got to be kidding me! *stops Mewtwo's shadow ball and charges at him* make sure he doesn't escape!

Mask and Mewtwo clash with one another while the other four Pokémon charge at where Ash was which was returning his last three Pokémon which were Sceptile, Infernape and Lucario

Ash: *puts the four Pokémon that are charging at them* Watch out!

Greninja, Pikachu and Solgaleo turn around and see them approaching so they quickly got into fighting stance but before they could charge Mewtwo appeared in front of them and stopped them using psychic begird pushing them all away

Mewtwo: *telepathic* Go now! * blocks Mask's kick* while you still have time! *fires a shadow ball*

Mask: *dodges the attack by teleporting* Dammit!

Ash on the other hand returns all his Pokémon and he, Pikachu and Greninja get on Solgaleo as he quickly takes off flying

Ash: *pats pats and looks back to see his family and friends looking at him waving at him saying "goodbye" and to "take care" and "to be careful" meaning that they understood his reasons* Don't worry everyone I'll return and next time we meet I'll be much stronger and I'll defeat you Mask!

Pikachu:Pika! Pi!

Greninja:Grenin Ja!

Solgaleo roars in agreement as a portal appears in front of the group only that it wants an ultra portal no this portal was different this had an unusual golden light to it but that didn't stop the group from going in before it closing after they were fully in

Mask: *sees them go* Tsk! this isn't like her to do something like that

Mewtwo: *telepathic* She has her reason just like she has her reason of giving you that curse

Mask:A curse that I'll remove! after I'm done with her!

Mewtwo: *telepathic* We'll see but she did also send me to give you a message

Mask:Ohhohoho! a message? And what does this message tell might I ask?

Mewtwo:She says that you should leave the boy for five years so that he could train and get stronger to give you the challenge that you want

Mask:Hmmm? so she's telling me to leave him alone Huh? well *takes four pokeballs and returns all four Pokémon* I don't see why I should decline this if he'll get strong then I'll leave him be but know that the second those five years end *puts the four pokeballs away* I'm going after him

Mewtwo: *nods* She understands

Mask:Good *turns around and starts walking away* until we meet again failed experiment *teleports away*

Mewtwo grit his teeth hearing that but he decides to ignore the comment and teleport away and while Delia tried to stop both of them from leaving it was to late as both Ash, Mask and Mewtwo have disappeared and Arceus knows where could all of them be at this point now
