Meanwhile on the inside...
Akito tossed a rubber ball back and forth against the wall as he waited with Pupitar and the other Pokemon and people who had been held hostage. "Ugh, this is so boring!" he then groaned.
"Can't we bust out of here, Dad?" Pupitar asked. "No one's gonna know we're even here!"
The Rock Pokemon was then corrected as the entrance was opened.
"Finally." Akito said in relief.
Rayquaza's snarl was heard as it soon came toward Deoxys just like before.
"Was that...?" Charity gulped.
Absol snarled as he soon stalked forward so that he could protect Charity.
"Rayquaza is back." Deoxys glared.
"If he wants you, he'll have company waiting to keep him busy." Teddy glared back in response.
"Oh, you shouldn't have to do that," Deoxys replied. "This is my battle."
"No, Deoxys, you're our friend, and we help our friends." Teddy stated firmly.
"All of us." Vulpix added.
"Together." Mismagius nodded firmly.
"Alright." Deoxys said.
"Yes!" The Pokemon cheered together.'
"Don't worry, Deoxys, you won't be disappointed." Teddy smiled in determination and bravery.
"Teddy, you look so brave." Estelle smiled.
"Thanks, Mama." Teddy smiled back.
"Now, let's get going." Mismagius smiled.
The Pokemon then came to help Deoxys.
"I'm so proud of my little Teddy~" Estelle gushed happily.
Everyone that was held hostage was soon set free.
Estelle looked around everyone before pouting as she looked back. "Kito...?"
No one else came out at first. Estelle soon bowed her head with a tear rolling down her cheek as she closed her eyes and walked off in sadness.
"Estelle...?" Akito's voice asked.
Estelle lifted her head up before turning back with a gasp and she ran to her twin brother to hug him. "AKITO!"
"Akito!" Emi smiled.
"Hey, girls." Akito smiled back.
"Ooh, you have bags under your eyes." Estelle commented.
"I was so bored!" Akito replied. "There wasn't anything to do, but just sit and wait! It was like living in The Stone Age or 1994 or something!"
"And all Dad did was throw that ball on the wall over and over and over." Pupitar said.
"Like I said, The Stone Age or 1994..." Akito groaned. "I felt like my brain was gonna melt from boredom, but I kept hoping and praying you guys would come soon!"
"Oh, Akito, I was so worried." Emi cooed.
"You should have seen how angry Emi looked." Vincent said.
"Emi got angry?" Akito asked nervously.
"I thought maybe Deoxys did something horrible to you." Emi replied.
"No, he didn't." Akito said.
"Oh, I'm just glad you're okay, even if you were bored to tears." Emi soothed him.
"You sure are a sight for sore eyes." Akito smiled.
"Is that Jessie, James, and Meowth?" Estelle asked once she saw the three ex-Team Rocket members.
"Who's dere?" Meowth asked. "Do they got food?"
"It is you guys!" Emi said before going toward the three Ex-Team Rocket members.
"Oh, hello, Emi, darling." Jessie smiled weakly.
"Yikes! Are you three okay?" Vincent asked.
"We've been in here for a while..." Meowth groaned.
"Meowth thought he smelled food, so we came with him, but as you can see, we've had worse luck than working for Giovanni." James added.
"Whoa." Emi said.
"We're so good to see you twerp-I mean, guys!" Meowth smiled. "Sorry, still tryin' to get used to that."
"Well, I for one am having a better time since I've been able to bond with little Molly who looks up to me like a cool aunt." Jessie smirked.
"And I see that your behavior hasn't changed." Emi smirked back.
"Hmph." Jessie pouted.
They soon all made it out and went to help Deoxys go up against Rayquaza.
"That Pokemon reminds me of Shenron from Dragon Ball Z." Akito commented.
"Right?!" Vincent agreed with his brother.
Teddy began to use Bulldozer against Rayquaza along with Strength.
"Whoa!" The others looked surprise.
"Leave my family alone, you big bully!" Teddy growled as he seemed to glow at first.
"Is Teddy about to do what I think he's going to do?" Estelle wondered.
Everyone looked in suspense in shock.
"I did it!" Teddy beamed.
The Pokemon all high-fived the Teddiursa.
Teddy smiled until he yelped as he glowed again and was suddenly risen into the air like when Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo were finally getting their cutie marks after so long, only, this was not happening, it was something else very important and special. He was now growing bigger while glowing.
"W-What's happening?!" Tory asked.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say that Teddy was evolving." Emi replied, and of course, she was right.
There was soon a huge glow and Teddy slowly came back down.
In the place of the shy little Teddiursa was a huge Ursaring who stood up and looked around before facing Estelle who had wide eyes. "Mama... It's me..." he then gently told his mother, sounding like Prince Adam when he was turned back into a human in front of Belle.
Estelle gave the bear Pokemon a look before looking into his eyes and hugging him with delight. "It is you!"
"How did he evolve?" Vincent asked.
"Well, Teddy has grown a bit this adventure," Estelle told her eldest brother. "He seemed so determined and ready."
"Nobody messes with my friends and family." Teddy glared while folding his claws.
"Wow." Vulpix smiled.
"Oh, Teddy, I'm so proud of you!" Estelle beamed as she hugged her now fully grown Ursaring.
Teddy smiled and hugged her back which made several of the others go 'aww'.
"Thank you all so much for your help, I will never forget this." Deoxys told the others since Rayquaza wasn't a problem for him anymore.
"No problem." Akito said.
"It was my pleasure too, Deoxys," Tory smiled. "I guess I've underestimated Pokemon."
"So, you'll be friends with them now?" Mismagius asked hopefully.
"I believe I shall." Tory smiled as he hugged Plussle and Minun.
"Now, we just have to hatch the other Deoxys before anything else happens." Akito said.
"Please." Deoxys replied.
"We can't force a Pokemon Egg to hatch!" Gloriosa said before pausing since she didn't know anything about Pokemon prior to this adventure. "...Can we?"
"I think this time, we can." Vincent said.
"I have a gut feeling that we can." Emi agreed with them.
"All right, let's do it then." Gloriosa replied.
They soon got back to the lab.
"Well, here goes nothing, I guess..." Emi took a deep breath. "We're gonna hatch a Deoxys egg..."
"Yep." Akito nodded.
"Oh, I don't know if I can do this." Emi said.
"I know you can, Emi," Ash encouraged. "You're my sister."
"Not really according to you..." Emi pouted.
"Family is family, whether blood or not," Ash told her. "And I know you can do this, because you're also destined to become The Pokemon Princess."
"Well, okay." Emi said.
Ash smiled to her and so did Pikachu. Emi began to concentrate and where electricity came from her hands.
"Whoa!" The others gasped slightly.
The electricity then zapped all around before shocking and absorbing the Deoxys egg, and where it was now glowing.
"Did I do it?" Emi asked.
"I'm pretty sure you did, Emi." Akito smiled to his beloved.
Luckily, he was right, and soon enough, another Deoxys had been born.
"Deoxys?" Emi smiled.
The new Deoxys soon came out and came toward her.
"Hi..." Emi smiled to the robotic Pokemon. "Welcome to LaRousse City."
"I believe a friend is waiting for you." Akito said.
The Deoxys looked around. Emi and Akito nodded as they showed this Deoxys to the other Deoxys, and where both of them were happy to see each other.
"Aww~" Everyone awed at this as it was quite cute and heartwarming to see.
"Nothing could ruin this moment." Akito smiled.
"No, it can't, especially with my plans." Drell's voice said before appearing.
Everyone then saw the warlock. Akito came up to him.
"Ah, ah, don't you dare tackle me, Akito Fudo!" Drell replied as he stopped him. "So much like your father, whether strength or intelligence. Your parents will be home soon too with gifts for you all, but I have my own surprise."
"You do?" The kids asked.
"Yes," Drell replied. "You'll be going on much more Pokemon adventures."
"Tell us something we don't know." Felicity stated.
"You don't understand, you'll be going on many more in the future, and sooner than before," Drell replied. "I hate to spoil anything, but you'll need help on your next adventure which will include a Pokemon by the name of Lucario."
"Lucario?!" Akito smiled.
"I'll now take questions," Drell smirked at the excitement. "Akito?"
"When do we meet Lucario?" Akito smiled.
"In your next Pokemon journey which, I have decided, should be real soon," Drell replied. "Also, after a while, you won't see Max and May so much anymore and will then meet someone new."
"Like when Misty left?" Vincent frowned.
"Like when Misty left." Drell nodded.
"Aww..." Charity frowned.
"I know, it's a tough price to pay, but fear not, Princess Charity, you shall see more of Max." Drell promised.
"Okay." Charity smiled softly.
"Who'll be the next friend we meet then after May and Max?" Felicity asked.
"I believe her name was Dawn." Drell scratched his head, trying to remember.
"That sounds nice." Estelle said.
"I'm sure you'll like her," Drell replied. "...She seems a bit nicer than Misty."
"Hey, Misty was nice!" Estelle glared. "She was like a big sister to me!"
"Yikes!" Drell yelped. "Okay, okay, sorry!"
"Lucario..." Akito sighed. "I can't wait..."
However though, it was time for the kids to go back home with Gloriosa and Timber.
Estelle looked around before looking out the window and gasped as a horn honked. "Mom and Dad are back!"
"How time flies." Vincent said.
Atticus and Mo smiled as they soon came home to their kids and had gifts for them all. Atticus gasped and soon took the kids behind him.
"Dad!" The Fudo siblings yelped.
"Stand back, kids, there's a wild bear in the house." Atticus warned them as he saw Teddy was now an Ursaring.
"No, Dad, Teddy evolved into an Ursaring." Estelle corrected.
"Teddy...?" Atticus asked.
Teddy stood over Atticus and soon licked his face.
"Huh... I guess it is Teddy..." Atticus smiled wearily. "Um, how did he evolve?"
"He evolved while we were in LaRousse City." Timber said.
"So you kids did go there..." Mo replied. "We'll have to share our adventures over dinner tomorrow."
The kids smiled to their parents.
"For Estelle, a Twinkle Toes DVD." Atticus smiled as he handed a ballerina DVD to his daughter.
"Oh, Daddy, thank you!" Estelle beamed.
"We had a feeling you would love it." Mo smiled.
"And Akito, this is for you," Atticus smiled as he brought out a DVD about an anime called Yu Yu Hakusho. "A DVD about a Spirit Detective!"
"Cool." Akito smiled back.
"And, an odd request from Vincent..." Mo said before taking out the final DVD. "Piglet's Big Movie."
"Awesome!" Vincent smiled.
Gloriosa and Timber looked at Mo.
"He told me he wanted the new Winnie the Pooh movie..." Mo shrugged.
"That's... Uh, interesting..." Timber said.
"Awesome, Hundred Acre Wood gets new neighbors!" Vincent smiled about his DVD copy. "Kanga and Roo!"
Vincent's medallion from the first adventure he had with Winnie the Pooh seemed to flash as it meant he would be in for another adventure with Pooh and his friends again very soon, but that was a story for another time.
The End
