~Chapter 9~


Ash and his group

Ash and his friends were in the Alohan airport as Brandon stretches out his arms from the plane, "Finally! I never thought that we would actually made it here." 

Brock said, "We can't actually celebrate yet. We still have a mission to accomplish here. Serena, Latifa and Persia are our top probity, remember?

Ash remain silent, due to what he had learnt in the Sinnoh Region, as Dawn notices it. "Hey, it's going to be fine, you'll see. 

Latifa and Spark are your children after all. They can handle themselves." 

"But I was supposed to be a father who protects his own children. When I first met Spark, he treated me like I was a total stranger who barged into his life. He was all alone." 

"But he never gave up, when he found out about you being his father, Ash. He was a trainer with pure determination. When I first battle him, I can see the similar fiery in eyes, to go further than ever to get the job done." Lucario said, smiling at the memory of meeting the ten year old trainer.  

Arron nods, with cheering his cousin up, "Yeah, so don't give in yet, Ash. Spark wouldn't like it if you gave up so easily." 

The Pokémon master chuckles at his cousin's words of wisdom, as he looks around of the people with their Pokémon partners. 

Max said, "Spark and his group would be anywhere by now. He must've been here longer and found some answers to Nihilego's whereabouts." 

Bonnie shivers, "I still can't believe that Serena and Persia were forced to be hosts to Nihilego. It sounds so evil."

"Yeah, talk about downright scary. I didn't like it one bit. C'mon. Let's get going." Misty said, as they went to find Spark and the others.  


~With Spark and the others~

Jessie and Red were focusing on their battle against Nihilego. "Groggiest , use Seed Bomb!" 

Red said, "Espeon, use Hyper Beam!" 

Both Pokémon were pure enthusiasm, as Jessie sweats, "Man, Red, I have to admit, your Espeon is very trained . You're a great trainer." 

Red bows, "Well, thanks for the compliment, Jessie. It's still hard to believe for me that you're related to Ash Ketchum, and you basically followed him around in his Pokémon Journeys throughout the regions. It's truly incredible." 

Jessie said, sweating, "Oh, you did your homework on me, huh? Yeah, come to think of it, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that Ash and I are truly related. I guess I got his stubbornness side." 

"Yeah, we might have to let Ash know where we are in this point." A voice said, which the trainers turned from their battle to see Spark and Pichu . 

"Hey, Spark, Pichu. What's going on?" Red asks. 

"Yeah, what you mean by your dad coming? Does he know about-" Jessie asks curiously as the sixteen year old nodded. 

"Yeah, well, you might want to take a seat. " 

He told them about how Ash and others stormed into Mekhi's office, and how Max finally hacked the files on the Ultra Beasts, and Max's warning about the time limit of how long the Ultra Beast can last in Aloha.

"Three moons? That's reassuring." Red said, felt a little bit discomfort of the news. 

"With the Audrain Powers , no less. It seems like this mission wouldn't be any less easier than a Gym battle." Jessie said, putting her hands to her hips. 

"Well, I'm off. " The sixteen year old said, which makes the trainers curious of what he is thinking. 

"I wonder we should follow him. " Red said. 

"Nah, I think he wants us to focus more on the battle ahead, besides, we have to let him rescue Latifa . His plan is simply insane. " 

"Yeah, it is insane, but this is Spark we're talking about here. We can't interfere with it. He'll not be able to do it." 

"Yeah, you're right, Red. But I still think we should've been part of his plan to save his little sister. 

Latifa is my cousin too, I can't bear to loose her either. "

Red said, "You wouldn't loose Latifa or Spark. They're strong, just like you. Your bond will never be broken." 

Spark was walking through the forest alone, with Pichu. The electric Pokémon looks at his partner, "You feeling ok, Spark?" 

"I really hope we can master the Z-move. No one in Aloha never seen it . " 

"We can and we will succeed. Besides, with Ash's help, you might pulled this off." Pichu smirks at the sixteen year old trainer as he pouts, "Gee, thanks for the advice. Let's just try to find the Pokémon guardian before Team RR and Lusamine finds us." 

The sixteen year old trainer walks with his partner in tow, as he shivers at his surroundings. 

"Talk about creepy. It's no wonder that Asther Paradise is so enormous and also of having my sister and her partner live here, it's hard to believe it." 

Suddenly, Pichu jumps in defensive mode, as Spark looks to see it was his younger sister that he had heard much about. 

"Latifa! " He said, as she glares at the trainer, "How you enter here, Vileplume, use Dazzling Gleam!" 

"Pichu, dodge it, and use Thunderbolt!" 

Spark thought back , when he talk to Jessie and Red, "Wait, you really thinking charging into the lab is worth it?"

"I had to, when it comes with it, Latifa and I have to battle each other. It's just like when Ash was under Mekhi's control with "Project Chosen." 

Jessie steps up , as she said, "Spark, that 's insane! You barely survived that when Ash was under Mekhi's control. He even had a legendary Pokemon by his side, remember?" 

"I know. But it's the only way that Latifa will realize that she's on the wrong side all this time, and I want to save my sister anyway I can. Do you remember what Ash's motto is?"

" ' Don't give up until it's over.' " Jessie said, "But Spark, it's completely dangerous. We will help!" 

"No, you have to focus on rescuing my mother and Persia from the Ultra Beasts and you have Team RR to deal with. 

Leave this to me, guys. I'll be fine, trust me." 

Red said, "Just come back safely, both of you." 

"Hey, I'm a Ketchum. How bad can it be?" Spark said, trying to reassure the trainers. 

Both of the trainers fought with all their might, as brother and sister were sweating from the battle. 

"Latifa, you have to listen to me! Lusamine isn't your real mother, Serena is! And I'm your older brother!" Spark said, as Steph said, "You're lying! Lusamine is my mother! She raised me!" 

Pichu looks at his trainer, "She's so stubborn! How we could make her see the truth, Spark?"

"I'm not giving up that easily. I saved Dad when he was under the evil influence of "Project Chosen, and now... I'm going to save my sister, no matter how long it takes." He replied back to his best friend.

The Ketchum siblings' battle rages on as the building surrounds them were crumbling.


Ash and his group

As Ash and the others rush to find Spark, to their greatest surprise, they see Jessie along with a boy they never seen before was struggling against Team RR.

Ash tossed up his Pokeball, "Greninja, use Water Shurikan!" The water pokemon appears as it did some damage to the pokemon as Jessie smiles at the Pokemon. 

"About time you arrived! What took you so long!" Jessie pouts at her cousin as Ash sweats , "I'm sorry! We didn't know where you and your group were. " 

Jessie rolls her eyes at her cousin, as the boy looks at Ash and his company in an amazing way.

"Oh, right, this is your first time meeting Ash, isn't? Well, this is my cousin, Ash Ketchum. Ash, this is Red. He's been helping us alongside Leaf, James, Meowth and Gary."  

Ash's eyes widen by the name of his rival was there in Aloha. "Wait, Gary's here too?!?" 

"Yeah. It totally surprised us too." Red said, "So, I guess you're wondering where Spark is right now right?"

Max stratches his head, "Isn't Spark with you guys, since he's the one who travelled to Aloha to rescue Serena and Persia, right?" 

Jessie and Red exchanged looks at one other, as Red said, "Well, thing is..." 

The gang was shocked of what Jessie and Red explained of Spark's risky and dangerous attempt of rescuing Latifa. 

"Isn't that completely dangerous? I know that Spark means well, but I'm not exactly thrilled about that plan of his." Brandon said.

Jessie nods, concurring, "That's what I said to him, but you know Spark. Once he has an idea, he goes for it, no matter what. He's the spitting image of Ash after all." 

"Gee, thanks." Ash mumbles, of that comment.

"We should find them quickly before Lusamine sends Serena and Persia after them." May suggested as Max said, "Wait! I know that Spark can pull it off of saving Latifa on his own, and our top priority right now is stopping Team RR right now. " 

Ash sighs, "I hope you're right, Max." 

Max sighs in total relief of not telling Ash and the others about the deadline of the Ultra Beast can stay as Jessie whispers into his ear, "Keeping the three moons deadline a secret huh? That's a good move. Ash and the others would freak out." 

"I know. As I know Ash, if he finds out about that little detail, he would charge immediately without giving a second thought or a chance to think things through. I hope that Spark's battle isn't tougher than ours right now." Max said, hoping that Steph and Spark can work it out as a team.

As the team defeats Team RR, Ash pants sweats, as if he wasn't expected of so many enemies he had to defeat. 

"Man, I never thought that wouldn't end. " He said. Red shrugs, "It could've been worse. I mean, things are wild here in Aloha." 

As they looked at the massive island, Bonnie said, "I say that we split up into teams of 4. We have to find Serena and Persia and free them. " 

"Bonnie, I don't like it, it's too risky!" Clement said, worried about his sister, but the trainer said, "Clement, the Ultra Beast is hosting our friends, and we have to stop Lusamine's plot for good. That way, Spark will be happy for once." 

The Lumoise City Gym leader heisant but Ash said, "Bonnie will be fine, she can handle this along with Dedenne and Squishy by her side. I believe in her." 

"And I'll assist her." Max said, "I'm a trainer too. I'll protect her." 


Latifa and Spark

Spark and Latifa continue their battle as Spark knew that they have to end their battle at some point. 

As Spark sweats, he looked up to see a piece of the building come forward as Latifa fall backwards as she and Vileplume was falling! 

"Latifa!  Charizard, I choose you!" He yells, as he tossed up the Pokeball into the air, as Charizard appears as he jumps into his Pokemon's back, as Latifa screaming, "Help!" 

She looks up as Spark said, "Latifa! Take my hand, now!" 

She whimpers as she reaches Spark's hand as he held his sister close as Charizard lands to a safe place. 

Spark said, "Latifa, it's ok, you can open your eyes." 

She opens it, as Spark looks at her bruises . 

"I'll heal you up right now, just stay still." He uses the audurian powers as she was amazed by the aura, as Spark sighs in total relief. 

As Latifa was amazed, her eyes completely changed from anger to disbelief. 

"Why would you risk your life for me? " She asks. 

Spark said, "Because, we're siblings, Latifa. You are my sister, and we can overcome things together, all the bad memories and good ones. We'll make an incredible team." 

He went towards her as he embraces her with a hug. She never felt an hug like this before as then she felt the aura of Spark. 

Through it, she seen the truth . The ultimate truth that Spark was right all along, she saw her father and brother fighting against one other, and saw how Spark was determined of keeping his family and friends safe from harm, no matter what the consequence was.

She tugs her older brother's vest as Spark ask, "Latifa?"

"I.. I.. believe you now. I'm so sorry, so sorry that you have to go through "Project Chosen " all alone, and you risked your life to save Dad. I'm not worthy of being your sister!" She said, as Spark pulled her from the tug. 

"Latifa! Don't say that! I am really glad you're my sister! I'm just glad that I was able to see the real you this time." 

She smiles but then she gasp, "We have to hurry. The Ultra Wormhole... it's about to reopen again as we speak!" 

"Seriously?!? I thought the Ultra Wormhole doesn't come within three moons!" Spark said, in disbelief. 

"Well, the wormhole comes and goes as it pleases. That's why Lusamine opened it in the first place. We have to find Mother and Persia immediately." 

"Then why we standing here for? Let's get going! You know this place since childhood, so lead the way, sis!" Spark said.

The Ketchum siblings raced off to find their mother and Persia as soon they could. 

As the siblings continue to find their mother, they bumped into Bonnie, Jessie and Max.

"Bonnie, Max, Jessie?" Spark asks.

"Spark Ketchum, you big idiot! I can't honestly believe you would actually decided to storm into Asther Paradise on your own, without any of us helping you out. Geez, you're unbelievable." 

Latifa  looks at her older brother, "Was that true, Spark? You decided to come on your own without any plan at all?"

"Well, with using a Z-move attempt yeah. " He sweats as Steph notices the black Z-ring on his left wrist. 

"How you obtain a Z-ring?!? Lusamine never gave me one, that's not fair." She pouts, that her brother gets the good advantages while she been in Aloha her entire life.

"Well, aside from that, you're still going to try to attempt the 1,0000 Volt aren't you?" Jessie asks as Bonnie, Max and Latifa looked confused of the question.

"Well, if Pichu and I can get to the Ultra Beast as soon as possible, and I can't master the Z-move without the ditey Guardian, Tako Koko's help ." 

"The Pokemon Ditey, Tako Koko? Spark, that's nuts! No one in Aloha has seen the Pokemon Legendary Pokemon in years! You really think you can actually get in touch with him, after it been away for so long?" Latifa asks. 

"It's worth a shot, sis. No need to worry." Spark reassures his younger sister as Bonnie sweats, "You really had to say Dawn's catchphrase , haven't you?" 

Spark said, turning serious, "Guys, the wormhole is coming. Latifa said that we don't have much time before our mother and Persia be teleported to the Ultra Dimension." 

"But I thought that-" Max said, tracking the whereabouts in his poke gear but Latifa said, "We have no time if we just standing here! I know the lab inside and out. You have to put faith in me, please." 

Bonnie leans to Spark, "She's not going to double-cross us, is she?"

"No! She means it, and she's my sister for crying out loud! C'mon, I believe in her." Spark said, "As long she has the Key of Beginning inside of her, this would be a singe." 

Bonnie sighs, "Fine. Let's go." 

Spark sighs a total relief, but how long would it would last before confronting Lusamine and stop her insane and dangerous attempt to destroy the people he cares about?
