Zygarde walked over to the unconscious pikachu, frowning
"Why won't you wake up?!" Ashchu yelled, tears streaming out of his eyes as he shook his brother's body back and forth
"I don't know" Xerneas said, having turned into a pink ball of energy "No matter what I try, I can't heal him"
"I know what's wrong" Zygarde said slowly, transforming into his human form "His aura is being slowly destroyed"
"What?" Bolt asked
"When Missing Number grabbed him, he tried to rip is aura out, since he wasn't to fully do it, his aura was poisoned" Zygarde explained, kneeling next Ash "It's dying slowly, and Ash along with it"
"Can you help him?" Ashchu said, sniffling. Zygarde nodded and put his hand over Ash's head, glowing green, before removing it quickly
"Oh this is going to be hard..." he whispered, before placing his hand back on the pikachu's body and closed his eyes. Ashchu removed his paws from his brother as he was surrounded by a green glow
"Ash... please wake up..." Ashchu whispered as Bolt walked over to him, putting his paw on the younger pikachu's shoulder
"He'll be fine" Bolt said shakingly "Right?" Zygarde sighted and looked at them worriedly
"...Lil...Bro..." Ash whispered weakly, Ashchu running right next to his brother
"Don't talk Ash" Zygarde said, focusing more energy into him "There's only one way to save him"
"What!?" both Bolt and Ashchu yelled
"Turn him human" Zygarde said
"You can do that?" Bolt asked
"Yes" Zygarde said "The aura of his pokemon body is dying, but if I transform him back to his original human form, then his aura would be reset and healed"
"Then do it already!" Ashchu said, tears flying out of his eyes, the legendary nodded and placed both his hands on Ash body
"I recommend closing your eyes" Zygarde said, closing his eyes as Ash was surrounded by a bright white light. Zygarde looked at the two other legendary pokemon "Guys, go and see how their friends are" the two balls of light instantly flew down the side of the side of the mountain, heading to the entrance of the base bellow, he looked back at Ash as his body glowed even brighter "Here we go..."

Ash gasped as he opened his eyes, gripping the ground as he caught his breath
"Your awake" Zygarde said "How do you feel?"
"Can't feel anything bellow my chin" Ash said
"Expected as much, don't worry that will pass soon" Zygarde said "Ash..."
"Pika!" Ash heard someone say, interrupting Zygarde as the face of his little brother peeked over his vision
"Hey lil bro" Ash said, smiling "Why did you say 'Pika'?" he manged to regain the feeling on the rest of his body, he reached over to his brother and saw his arm. His human arm "What the heck!
"Sorry Ash" Zygarde said "I had to"
"You had to?!" Ash yelled, sitting up, realizing he was dressed in the clothes he was wearing before he transformed "Why?!"
"If didn't do it, you would have died, Missing Number poisoned your aura." Zygarde explained calmly "Plus your brother told me to do it"
"You did?" Ash asked his little brother, who nodded Ash sighted and turned to Zygarde "I'm sorry for screaming at you, but... How am I going to be a good older brother if I can't understand him.."
"I think I can do something about that" Zygarde said, walking over to Ashchu "Okay, lift your head a bit" Ashchu nodded, lifting his head as the legendary placed his hand on his throat as it glowed green
"What did you do?" Ashchu asked, quickly covering his mouth in surprise "Did- did I just speak english?" he looked at Zygarde with large beaming eyes, hugging his legs "Thank you thank you!"
"Don't mention it little guy" Zygarde said, turning towards Bolt "Okay your turn"
"Pikachu pika chupi" Bolt said, shaking his head
"You sure?" Zygarde asked, Bolt nodded
"Why don't you want to do it Bolt?" Ashchu asked
"Pikachu chu pikapika chup pikahchu" Bolt explained
"What did you say?" Ash asked, a slightly irritated look on his face for not being able to understand his friend anymore
"He said that he wouldn't feel normal speaking english" Zygarde translated "Plus, if you two could be partners for that long, he doesn't need to able to speak english with you"
"Yeah" Ash said "I'm not sure about being a trainer anymore. I mean, do I really make my pokemon forget their past?"
"Wait what?" Zygarde asked "Where did you get the idea that pokeballs did that?"
"I got caught by Lewis... And I forgot everything, and when Bolt got caught by Oak, the same thing happened"
"Did those pokeballs have some kind of symbol on them?" Zygarde asked, Ash nodded "Then I know why. Those are old pokeballs models"
"Old models?" Ash asked
"Yes, those haven't been manufactured in years, my guess is Oak kept that one lying around without knowing the side effects. And Lewis probably used it to mess with you and your friends" Zygarde explained
"So, non of the pokemon that I caught have forgotten anything?" Ash asked
"Of course they didn't Ash" Ashchu said "Remember Squirtle?"
"Oh yeah, your right" Ash said, smacking his forehead
"Ready to head down?" Zygarde asked, Ash and the two pikachu nodded

The entrance to the old Cipher base was swarming with police officers arresting the remaining Cipher troops, no one noticed the two glowing lights flying down. Officer Jenny found Max, May, Brock, GAry and Nubtup near the door to the building
"There you are" Jenny said, walking up to them "What happened in there?"
"I don't know how to describe it" May said, as Max held Brock back from Jenny "A big creature came out from a large stone door" the two lights came down behind them, before the two were able to say something, a bright flash of green light drew the attention of everyone
"What is that?" Max asked, shielding their eyes as Zygarde, Ash, Bolt and Ashchu appeared
"ASH?!" all of them said in surprise, Gary and Nubtup just stared at them in surprise
"Hi guys" Ash said, Ashchu jumping on his shoulders. All of them smiled at them, another officer walked up to Jenny
"Give me a minute kids" Jenny said, turning to the officer
"Ash, your back to normal. How?" May asked
"I turned him back, he would have died otherwise" Zygarde explained
"Ashchu are you taking this well?" Max asked the pikachu
"Course I am" Ashchu said beaming, making everyone gasp
"Did you speak?" Brock asked shocked
"Yep" Ashchu said, a big smile on his face, Gary shook his head and grinned
"EEvee vee eev (Don't get cocky)" he said putting his paw on Ashchu's shoulder
"Hehe, I wont, don't worry" Ashchu giggled
"Plume Vileplume... (Oh brother...)" Nubtup said
"So, you two" Zygarde said, pointing at Gary and Nubtup "Ready to turn back?" the two pokemon looked at each other, as if they were having a mental conversation, after a minute they looked back at Zygarde and shook their heads "Your choice"
"You guys want to stay like that?" Max asked, Gary nodded
"Well, before that I think you should have these back" Zygarde said, handing Gary six pokeballs
"Eev... eevee vee (My... My pokemon)" Gary said, staring at the pokeballs in his paws "Eevee vee..? (Where did...?)
"I find them?" Zygarde finished "The storage room was right next to where they were holding me"
"Well, looks like you've got everything covered" officer Jenny said, walking towards them "Come on kids, I have get you home fast" they all nodded, following her to the chopper, exept for Zygarde
"Your not coming?" Ash asked, the legendary shook his head
"I have to go somewhere else, don't worry. I'll see you again" Zygarde said before a flash of green light surrounded him when the light died down, Zygarde was gone
"Come on Ash!" Ashchu yelled from the helicopter
"Comming!" he said running towards them

After two hours on the helicopter, they touched down at Pallet Town
"Jenny" May asked "Are you sure that you caught all of them?"
"More or less, we got Brody, I got a message from the clean up team that they caught Douglas inside. Only thing truly unacounted for is Lewis' body" the chopper's door opened "If I get anything else, well inform you" the kids nodded as they got off the copter
"Ash, Ashchu!" they heard a female voice yell, as Deliah ran up to her sons and hugged them "Ash your human again"
"Yeah" Ash said "And Ashchu can speak english"
"Good to see you again mom" the little pikachu said, jumping on his mother's shoulder
"Facinating" Oak said walking up towards the two "Well, the cure I tried to make failed so if Gary wants to turn back.."
"He dosen't" Ashchu said, looking at Gary with a grin
"If that's your choice Gary, then I respect it" Oak said, smiling "So, are you going to go back to your journey Ash?"
"Yeah, I do actually." Ash said, before turning to his little brother "Do you want to come with us lil bro?"
"Actually, I'd like to stay here" Ashchu said
"You sure?" Ash asked, the pikachu nodded in response "Alright, Gary you better look after him" the eevee nodded
"You better stay the night though" Deliah said, petting Ashchu's head, the kids nodded and walked towards Ash's house
"Vile vilelume pume vile vileplume? (Are you sure you want to stay?)" Nubtup asked the pikachu
"Yeah I am" Ashchu said "Come on" he said as he ran towards his house, his two friends right behind him.

Back at Cipher old base, two officers looked around the old cavern, the gaint rock wall holding behind the lava
"Sit still scumbag" one of the officers said, pushing Doug to the side of the room "Find anything?" he asked the other officer
"Apart from his pokeballs, no" the other officer said, lifting a bog rock from the ground "Does Jenny really think were going to find his body? He got buried in half ton of rubble and then lava erupted on the other side of that rock wall. I really doubt there's anything left of the guy" the first officer shrugged before they heard a couple of rocks fall of a big pile in the corner
"What was that?" the first officer asked, the second got up and walked up to it
"It's nothin- Argh!" the officer gasped as a arm erupted from the pile of rocks and grasped his throat "Agh, what is happening?" the fist started glowing, spreading across the officers body until the man collapsed into a pile of ashes
"Steve!" the other officer yelled as the pile of rocks collapsed, reaviling Lewis, his trenchcoat torn and burnt, but no actall damage on his skin at all "Agh!" the officer screamed, pulling out his taser and shooting it at Lewis. The trenchcoat wearing man paid no attention to the two bits of metal poking out of his body or the electricity coursing throught it he simply grasped the officer's wrist, making him collapse into dust
"Le-Lewis?" Doug asked quietly as the man in front of him muttered to himself
"As soon as I reagin my strength Ketchum, I'll show you suffering ike you've never seen before"
"Lewis is that you?" Doug asked a little louder, the man turned to face him
"No" he said as he took off his sunglasses, revealing two blank glowing eyes "I am Missing Number the Lord of Chaos!"
