Chapter 101: Let's Go! (****) Play the original pokemon theme, full version (XXX) Zyuranger opening full, 2:58 to finish.
Emergency services kept working in Malie city in the aftermath of the battle.
Red came out of the Gorma palace with Lillie in his arms.
Guzmo and the other Gorma had all departed, the Gorma palace dissolving into nothing behind them.
Reduka still towered over the city, he kept looking down at the people and pokemon below.
The other Zyurangers had left his head and tried to speak with him.
"Reduka." Ash said, but there was no response.
Reduka began to ascend to heaven , his wings spread out before he vanished into the clouds.
In his place Daizyujin, Dragon Caesar, and King Brachion returned.
Daizyujin looked at himself.
"I , I don't understand. We were, we are Reduka." He said.
"Geez does this make me the son of God?" GoZyuJin asked before Dragon Caesar nudged him back a bit.
Red and Lillie arrived, Lillie looking up at King Brachion.
The titan like Guardian beast lowered his colossal head to her.
"Nebby, I don't know if you're still in there. But, I'm going to miss you." She said tearing up a little as she hugged his head.
"Is it finally over?" Hau asked.
"Dai-Satan is destroyed for now. But so long as there is darkness and hatred inside the hearts of man and pokemon some of his power will exist."
"I saw Guzmo and the others vanish, I don't know where they went. But Shadam still had part of the Jewel of life." Lillie said.
"Let's not think about that right now. We're alive, Lusamine is gone, he Gorma are in shambles, and we won." Gary said.
"Where's Ash?" Serena asked seeing he was missing.
Ash , Pikachu, and Greninja were looking around the city when they finally saw Felix still in his armor staring out at the ocean.
"Father."
Felix slowly turned and saw them, his helmet retracted as he looked at his sword before dropping it.
"Father, have I earned the right to be called that."
Greninja wasted no time and nearly tackled Felix into the water as he embraced him.
Ash came over as well before he and Felix stared at each other.
Felix was about to speak again when Ash nearly knocked Greninja away. He hugged Felix so hard that he cracked his back.
Pikachu was on Ash's shoulder and felt the tears come down his face.
Felix put his arms back around Ash.
Pikachu and Greninja backed off and watched the two.
After the guardian beasts departed, the ranger teams met up together in a large hotel penthouse that Daniel and the other champions rented out.
A various bottles of alcohol were set out on the table with all of them holding up glasses.
"To victory!" Daniel said as they toasted before drinking.
All of the ranger teams began socializing, Serena and Moon bombarding Diantha with fangirl questions.
"So all of the regional champions are rangers now?" Gary asked.
"There's power in every region, you just need to know where to look." Daniel said.
"So does that mean when one of us becomes champion of Alola we join you Dairangers?" Ash asked.
"Possibly. There's still the matter of your battle, would I be presumptuous to assume you'd be ready tomorrow?" Daniel asked.
Ash and Gary smile.
"We're ready."
"Lance, it's such an honor to meet you, you've always been such an inspiration." Zach said as Lance sweat dropped.
"Always nice to meet a Dekaranger."
"Uhh, this modern stuff is so weak , I wish I had some Zyutribe alcohol." Cana said.
Felix looked at Ash as he stood beside Kal, Greninja, Nanu, Olivia, and Allow.
"Look at him, he's all grown up, without me."
Kal put his hand on his shoulder.
"He's more of you than maybe even yourself. We should have killed that bastard Otrin a long time ago." Kal said.
"I should have married his mother when I had the chance."
"If you had, then Red wouldn't be here." Nanu said.
"Still, I wronged Delia."
Kal and Allow both nodded at each other.
"Well, about that."
"Felix." He heard in a soft voice, slowly turning to see Delia standing there.
"Delia."
Ash saw his parents together and smiled, Serena coming up beside him and kissing his cheek.
"You must be happy."
"Estatic really. Even if I am back down to six pokemon."
"Six?"
"I gave Greninja back to my father."
"You did?" Serena said sounding surprised.
"He was my father's pokemon first, and now he's back. It only seems right."
"Right before your final battle, even with Ash-Greninja."
Ash took a deep breath.
"It's not like I was excited about it, but Greninja wanted to go back with him."
"I suppose it was for the best then."
"My family is whole again." Ash said, Pikachu climbing onto his shoulder.
Gladion and Moon met with Kruger, Swan and Mewtwo, meeting Amber.
The party continuing into the night as Gary and Mallow stood outside together on the balcony looking at the stars.
"It's hard to believe it might be over. Two years of fighting finally done…..Do you think it truly is over?" Gary asked.
"I don't know, you can never really know."
"I suppose not, it's like Daizyujin said, as long as there are people in this world, evil can still exist."
"Even if it does, that doesn't stop people from being good."
"Who would have thought after one battle of my life, the next day I'd have another one….Do you think I can beat Ash?"
Mallow seemed surprised by this.
"What? What do you mean, you always talk with such confidence. That there's no way you'll lose to him. That you're the rightful champion."
"I don't know if I ever really believed that, or if I was putting on a show for myself. Ash is the most powerful of us. I won't deny it anymore. But I wonder if that's also true about him as a trainer."
"Hey." Mallow said grabbing his chin.
"You're thinking about this the wrong way, you've worked just as hard as him. Whatever happens out there, you have nothing to be ashamed of."
"Maybe you're right. But in any case, it would be nice to think this is the start of a new part of my life. No more fighting Gorma, being in a new pokemon league, and other things."
"Other things?" Mallow asked in interest.
Gary took out a pokeball, one Mallow hadn't seen before.
"Hey what's that pokeball?"
Gary smiled, quickly checking to see if there were alone.
"My secret weapon. A pokemon I've been raising in secret since we were back at school, one even the others don't know about. One I've been training for this exact battle. An ace I hid up my sleeve to catch Ash off guard."
"Wow, that's quite a long term plan."
"Would you like to meet them?" Gary said letting the pokemon out.
"Hello, I'm….." She said before noticing something in its hands.
Mallow took it and saw it was a white gold ring with a white diamond in the center.
"Garyyyyy!"
Gary looked nervous as he put his hand on the back of his head.
"I'm not really good at this stuff, so if you could just say yes to end this uncomfortable-" Mallow nearly tackled him into the ground as she wrapped her arms around his body, kissing him passionately.
The next day, the groups were at the base of Mount Lanakila.
"So this is where the Alolan league is going to be based?" Gary asked.
"At the summit yes, a proper stadium has jus been completed and is ready for a league. Now all the the league need's is a champion."
Hau noticed a massive amount of people heading into gondola and elevators on the side of the mountain.
"Why are all these people here?"
"I'd assume they want to see the match between two Zyurangers in which one would become champion." Red said.
"Good point."
"I hope that a lot of people come, the Alolan league's stadium was paid for by contributions from the other leagues. Money we'd like back." Lance said.
"Oh shut it Lance, we all know Daniel fronted way more money for it than you." Steven said as Lance sweat dropped.
"Alola may not have as many people in it as Kanto or the other regions, but it has plenty of tourists, the league here will do well. " Daniel said.
They entered two elevators of their own.
The lifts began to go up the side of the mountain towards the peak.
"We're pretty high up." Lillie said nervously.
As they reached the summit area they stopped at an interior area where a few personal were waiting.
"Mr. Rian, we've been waiting for you, this way."
They were lead through a series of hallways inside the mountain with glowing blue crystals on the walls lighting up the interior. The walkways lighting up in the center path with chrome edges and rail guards.
"This will be the primary path when construction is complete."
"It's beautiful." Serena said.
"We have our own lights in case they go out, but the crystals naturally light the interior, I thought it gave it a nice natural feel." Daniel said.
"Natural feel." Cynthia said looking at Daniel.
"What, doesn't it."
"In any case this way to the stadium." They entered another set of lifts , Daniel taking Ash and Gary into one while Cynthia lead the others into the second.
"Cynthia will take you to your seats, I'll be taking you two to the battlefield, where I'll be officiating."
"You're officiating!?"
Daniel nodded.
"Do your best Ash." Serena said hugging him.
"I believe in you." Mallow said hugging Gary.
Ash turned to his parents.
"Go out there and do your best." Delia said.
"Never give up until the end."
Greninja approached Ash and gave him a final fist bump before leaving with the others.
Gary turned to him as the doors shut.
"You're really not battling with Greninja?"
"He's my dad's pokemon."
"I remember training with him and your father. Seeing Felix back is, well significant to me. I wouldn't be where I am today without him."
"Are you trying to psyche me out?" Gary asked.
"Of course not, I'm impartial with you two. I just want the better trainer to win."
Ash and Gary felt their hearts race as the elevator reached the top. They saw themselves on massive blue pokeball shaped battlefield surrounded by a stadium with thousands of seats, all of them filled. There were also some gaps that allowed them to see the rest of Ula'Ula island below them.
In a private box area , the groups waited for there match to start.
"This is so exciting." Ilima said.
"We didn't miss it did we?!" They heard before turning to see two more people.
"A Daisy and Professor Oak."
"Daisy, wait you're Gary's sister!" Mallow said.
Daisy nodded as she came over.
"We heard about the match and there was no way we'd miss it."
"I have also come to pay my respects to Samson, where was he buried?" Oak asked.
Serena and the others sweat dropped, remembering how Daizyujin took his body.
Mallow stood beside Daisy as they looked down at the battlefield.
"Gary's told me a lot about you." Daisy said.
"Really."
"You must be a special girl to him."
"Well I am his finance." Mallow said smiling showing her ring.
"Wait what!?" Lillie, Serena, and Moon screamed over Daisy, nearly knocking her out of the way.
"You two are getting married!"
"When did he propose!?"
"Where is it happening!?"
Red sweat dropped.
"Oh geez now Lillie's going to be on me to do the same."
"Is that a problem?" Gladion asked.
"Why don't we ask Moon." Gladion sweat dropped and stopped talking.
"Hey look." Ilima said before they noticed Daizyujin, Dragon Caesar, and GoZyuJin were all standing around the mountain watching.
"You guys came too."
"Duh, like we're going to miss this match!"
"Didn't we talk about the manner in which you speak." Daizyujin said.
"Come on pops, chill out."
"Stop talking like that!"
Dragon Caesar laughing a little as he watched the two argue.
Down on the battlefield Ash and Gary faced Daniel.
"This will be a six on six battle, no substitutions, the first one to knock out all of their opponent's pokemon will be the winner."
"Six." Ash said believing Gary only had five.
"No problem." Gary said revealing six pokeballs to Ash's surprise.
"Head to your corners, and may the true champion win." Daniel said before they both went to one side.
The audience watched closely as they did.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to the newly built Lanakila stadium. In the future this will be the sight of the Alolan pokemon league. But before the league can be made, we need a champion. One of these young men will become the champion of the Alola region."
The audience was in an uproar of excitement before Daniel turned back to the two.
(*****)"Begin!"
Ash and Gary took out their first pokeballs, staring at each other intensely, with Pikachu still on Ash's shoulder.
They hurled the pokeballs forward as the groups, and audience watched closely to see who they chose.
Salazzle came out of Gary's pokeball, giving her usual sly look and pose.
At the same time Infernape came out of Ash's pokeball, pounding his chest.
"The first matchup will be Salazzle against Infernape, Salazzle having a slight advantage." The commentator said.
"Salazzle use smog." Salazzle opened her mouth and began to fill the battlefield with poison gas, Infernape backing up.
"Infernape your flame body might ignite that gas, stay back." Ash said as Infernape backed away. Ash considered using a fire attack to ignite it from a safe distance, but there was too much and it was too close, unless.
"Flame wheel into the air!"
Infernape covered himself in fire and rolled into the air, the fire ignited the smog and exploded, but the force of the explosion carried Infernape into the air safely.
"Dragon Rage."
Salazzle opened her mouth and blasted Infernape who was still in mid air, the blast knocking him down as Ash and Pikachu watched in concern.
"Great shot Salazzle. Gary said as Salazzle gave her usual proud expression.
"Infernape use Flame wheel!" Infernape covered himself in more fire before rolling Salazzle.
"He's using the same move twice? Something's up. Use Smog." Salazzle unleashed more poison gas around the battlefield, the fire hitting it.
"Dragon Rage!".
"Jump!" Infernape leapt out of his own ball of fire and dove hard to the side as a massive explosion filled the area, Salazzle's Dragon Rage missing completely.
"Flare Blitz!"
Infernape roared as he covered himself in fire before leaping at Salazzle , unleashing a fury of fast strikes using Dragon Martial arts Ash taught him.
"Smog!" Gary shouted, Salazzle opening her mouth and letting out more smog before it exploded and forced both pokemon back.
Serena and Mallow both watched very closely as they saw the two pokemon get up.
Ash noticed Infernape began coughing.
"Oh no!"
Pikachu realized he must have been poisoned by the Smog.
"Yes!" Gary said.
"Use Venoshock!"
"Dodge it!" Ash shouted as Infernape leapt to the side avoiding it. However, as he did the poison began to hit him again. Infernape puking on the ground.
Ash sweat dropped.
"So much for the special health food I gave him this morning." Pikachu sweat dropping as well.
"Dragon Rage!"
"Dodge it!"
Infernape once again dodged the attack, but he was feeling dizzier and dizzier as the poison kept affecting him.
"Venoshock!"
"Salazzle!" Salazzle shouted as she blasted Infernape right in the chest, knocking him onto his back.
"Infernape!"
"Pikachu!"
Serena clasped her hand in concern as Mallow looked excited.
"Is this the first knockout folks?"
Daniel looked closer , but Infernape leapt back up, shouting as he pounded his chest.
"It looks like Infernape isn't going down so easily."
"Dragon rage one more time."
"Slide!" Infernape slid on the ground under the Dragon rage, much to Salazzle and Gary's surprise.
"Earthquake!"
"Ape!"
Infernape slammed the ground hard, causing the battlefield to shake, Salazzle looking afraid before she was hit by the full force of the ground attack.
"Salazzle!"
Infernape puked again from the poison, but saw Salazzle on her side with swirly eyes.
"Salazzle is unable to battle." Daniel said.
"Yes!" Serena shouted as Mallow looked determined.
"It's just one pokemon."
"Great work Infernape."
"Pikachu!"
Felix smiled seeing this.
"That's the way a pokemon fights."
Greninja smiled as well nodding.
"Salazzle return, alright a rough start. But nobody wins without hardship, go Umbreon!" Gary shouted as the black fox came out.
"Gary has chosen his Umbreon, Ash can't substitute his poisoned Infernape though."
"Umbreon huh,Infernape use Flame wheel!"
Infernape covered himself in fire and rolled, the fire keeping the poison at bay and making him feel slightly better.
"Confuse ray."
"Close your eyes!" Ash shouted.
Umbreon leapt clean over the fire as Infernape tried to turn, but stumbled out, his fatigue made it hard to keep his eyes closed intentionally and Umbreon hit him with confuse ray, Infernape stumbling around even more.
"Assurance." Umbreon leapt forward and hit Infernape hard in the chest, knocking him back.
"Feint attack."
Umbreon appeared behind him and hit Infernape again, this time Infernape landing on the ground with his face in the floor.
"Infernape is unable to battle."
Ash grit his teeth.
"And it's evened out just like that." Mallow said.
"For now." Serena said defensively.
"Infernape return, you got us started, now we'll finish it." Ash said taking out his next pokeball.
"I choose you Lycanroc!"
Lycanroc howled as he came out and faced Umbreon.
"Confuse ray!"
"Lycanroc close your eyes!"
Lycanroc did so and the confuse ray had no effect.
"Use your smell and hearing." Ash said knowing Confuse ray could be used any time.
"Feint attack."
Lycanroc tried to smell where Umbreon was coming from, but was hit from behind.
"It seems Lycanroc is in serious trouble with confuse ray keeping him blind."
"Lycanroc use Stone edge all around you!"
Lycanroc smashed his paws into the ground and came up with dozens of spiked rocks before unleashing them all around the battlefield.
"Umbreon dodge it." Umbreon moved very swirly, Lycanroc stilton able to aim right with his eyes closed.
Ash looked frustrated.
"Feint attack." Umbreon hit Lycanroc from behind again.
"It seems Umbreon has Lycanroc on the ropes, can this wolf come back."
"Lycanroc use Howl!"
"Roc!" Lycanroc howled, his power raising.
"Use Feint attack."
"Smell for him!"
Lycanroc smelled closer as Umbreon got closer.
"Crunch!"
Lycanroc snapped his jaws around Umbreon , snarling as he did so.
Serena looked relieved for a moment.
"Screech!"
Umbreon unleashed a piercing screech into Lycanroc as he was bit by the wolf.
"Assurance!"
Umbreon hit Lycanroc's face and knocked him onto his back with swirly eyes.
"Lycanroc is unable to battle!" Daniel shouted.
Serena gasped seeing this, Mallow looking more excited.
"Geez Gary's up now." Hau said.
"Wait who are you rooting for?" Red asked.
"Well Gary was my roommate."
"Ha ha! Awesome Umbreon!" Gary shouted.
"Lycanroc return, rest up."
"Is this the best the great Dragon Ranger can do?" Gary said.
Ash reached for his next pokeball.
"You want to see the Dragon, I'll show him to you. I choose you Kommo-o!"
The ground shook as the colossal dragon landed in front of Ash.
"Grauuu!" Kommo-o roared.
"Ash has chosen his Kommo-o, things might get interesting now."
"Confuse ray!"
"Close your eyes."
Kommo-o closed his eyes as the confuse ray took no effect on him.
"Feint attack."
"Outrage!" Umbreon tried to hit Kommo-o from behind, but Kommo-o roared as he unleashed a hurricane of Dragon energy around him , the storm engulfed Umbreon, actually lifting him up into the air before crashing in front of Gary.
Gary sweat dropped seing Umbreon unconscious.
"Well that was, fast."
"Umbreon is unable to battle."
Kommo-o roared.
"Umbreon return, you got two, now to get the rest. If dragon boy wants a fight I'll give him one. Go Salamence!"
Salamence roared as he flew out over Gary.
"Now things are getting interesting, we're going to have a dance of dragons."
"Salamence vs Kommo-o , this will be great." Hau said.
"Ash is a Dragon master, he won't lose." Serena said.
"We'll see." Mallow said.
"What do you think Kal, you're the dragon expert?" Nanu asked.
"I've seen both these two in battle, it could go either way."
"Salamence use Dragon claw and fly!"
"Dragon claw!"
The two dragons clashed with each other, Kommo-o knocking Salamence back before he flew up and over him.
"Too bad Kommo-o can't fly."
"The higher up Salamence goes, the farther he'll fall. Use Outrage!"
Kommo-o roared as he unleashed a storm of dragon energy into the air at him.
However, Salamence moved with surprising agility , avoiding each strike.
"Dragon Tail!"
"Iron Defense!" Salamence came down and tried to slam his tail into Kommo-o, but he covered his body in metal armor and absorbed the attack, despite the effectiveness.
"Dragon Claw!"
"Fly!" Kommo-o tried to slash Salamence but he flew up into the air again.
"Dragon Tail"
"Clanging scales!" Kommo-o's scales began to clatter together as Kommo-o moved his body and glowed.
When Salamence came down , Kommo-o knocked his tail away and hit Salamence with his clanging scales.
Salamence tumbled on the ground , shaking his head as Kommo-o charged at him.
"Dragon claw!"
Both dragons clashed , Salamence staying on the ground this time as they tried to overpower each other.
Kommo-o managed to push Salamence back, but their claws were still locked together. Because Salemence was quadrupedal and stood on his back legs, Kommo-o had better leverage and eventually forced Salamence onto his side.
"Dragon claw."
"Fly." Salamence flew back up before it could be slashed.
"Come down and use Dragon Tail!"
"Iron Defense!" Kommo-o covered himself in metal again, but after bing hit, Salamence shifted his position.
"Dragon claw!" Salamence slashed Kommo-o twice, getting right into his face as Gary watched intensely.
"Outrage!"
"Grauuuu!" Kommo-o roared before blasting Salamence right in the face.
Salamence slashed Kommo-o again before a final blast hit him.
Both pokemon fell forward and landed on their stomachs with swirly eyes.
"Both pokemon are unable to battle."
"Amazing, the two dragons have both been knocked out."
"It's tied" Mallow said.
"And the battle is half over." Serena said.
"The next matchup could be decisive." Red said.
"Salamence return, you took down his Kommo-o beating the Dragon's dragon will shake him up."
"Kommo-o return, you fought well enough."
Both reached for their next pokeball.
"Go Bastiodon!"
"I choose you Tyrantrum!"
The two dinosaur pokemon shook the ground again as they came out.
"Tyrantrum against Bastiodon." Serena said.
"Their respective Guardian beasts." Mallow said.
"What? Tyrantrum is my Guardian beast!" Red said defensively.
"Wasn't Ash his first choice?" Kiawe said as Red crossed his arms.
"Well, technically."
"And wasn't it his father's Guardian beast." Hau said.
"Tyrantrum chose to stay with me!"
"But didn't Ash have Dragon Caesar then."
Red gave a crestfallen look , Lillie patting his back.
"Don't let them make you think that way, Tyrantrum knows you're worthy. You've spent more time with him then Ash ever did. Besides Ash found someone new, and quite frankly better suited for him." Daizyujin said as Dragon Caesar roared, cheering on Tyrantrum, his student.
"Looks like we have a clash of the titans here folks."
"Iron defense."
"Head smash!"
"Iron head!"
Bastiodon covered himself in a lot of metal before Tyrantrum lowered his head and the two clashed. Both growled as they tried to push the other back, being covered in metal and having a lower center of gravity, Bastiodon was able to push Tyrantrum back.
"Heavy slam!"
"Earthquake!"
Tyrantrum smashed his foot into the ground causing the entire mountain to shake as Bastiodon was knocked onto his side.
"Great job Tyrantrum use Crunch!"
"Ancient power!"
"Dragon claw!" Tyrantrum slashed away each of the incoming rocks before Bastiodon got back up.
"Heavy slam!"
Bastiodon slammed his body into Tyrantrum, forcing him back , Tyrantrum stumbling.
"Iron Head!"
"Crunch to the right!"
Tyrantrum charged forward, Dragon Caesar watching closely as the two were about to clash, when Tyrantrum moved slightly to the right. He quickly shifted his body using his right leg and was able to snap his jaws around Bastiodon's neck from behind his head.
Gary watched in horror as Tyrantrum lifted Bastiodon up before tossing him onto his side.
"Head smash!"
"Grouuuu!" Tyrantrum roared as he smashed his head into Bastiodon's underside.
"Bastiodon!" Gary shouted as he saw him land on his back with swirly eyes.
"Bastiodon is unable to battle."
The crowd was getting very excited as Tyrantrum roared in victory.
"Yes you got him Tyrantrum!"
"Pika Pikachu!"
"He did it! Just two pokemon left." Serena said, Mallow watching closely.
"I hear he wants to make that Tyrantrum a Guardian beast." Kal said.
"Does he, well Daniel's Charizard became one if I'm not mistaken." Felix said.
"How is it you trained his Charizard to become a Guardian beast but your Greninja didn't?" Allow asked.
"Who knows."
"Bastiodon return, the Bastioranger's Bastiodon losing. I should be ashamed of myself. Still I have my powerhouse. Go Primarina!"
Primarina came out and looked up at Tyrantrum.
"Primarina, Gary's first pokemon. She won't go down easy." Moon said.
"You bet she won't." Mallow said.
"Tyrantrum use!"
"Sing."
Primarina began a soft song as Tyrantrum looked drowsy , then fell face first into the ground fast asleep.
Ash and Pikachu sweat dropping.
"Moonblast!"
Primarina unleashed a blast of fairy energy into Tyrantrum , knocking him onto his side before his eyes opened and were swirly.
"Tyrantrum is unable to battle."
"And now we're even, for now." Gary said.
"Tyrantrum return, you got us ahead again. Alright I choose you Tauros !"
"Mooahh!" Tauros huffed as he came out.
"Tauros huh, shouldn't be a problem. Use Sing!"
"Horn attack!"
Tauros moved very fast, slamming his horns into Primarina and forcing her back before she could sing.
"Zen Headbutt!"
"Moahh!"
"Moon blast!" Primarina tried to blast Tauros but he blew through the fairy energy and hit her again.
"Disarming voice!" Primarina let out a soft voice that lowered Tauros's attack greatly.
"Hydro pump!"
Primarina blasted Tauros and forced him back, but Ash wasn't done yet.
"Work up and Horn attack!"
Tauros huffed as he raised his attack power and began slowly pushing through the water.
Gary smiled.
"Sing."
Primarina sang through the water, Tauros getting drowsy before he fell asleep.
Ash was horrified seeing this.
"Hydro pump."
Primarina picked Tauros up with her jet of water.
"Moon blast." Primarina unleashed a blast into Tauros, forcing him higher into the air before Tauros hit the ground.
"Tauros is unable to battle."
"Amazing folks! Gary is just one pokemon away from becoming the first Alolan champion."
Mallow had a look of anticipation as Serena tried to remain calm.
"Just one more." Gary said excited.
"Tauros return." Ash turned to Pikachu.
"It's all up to you now Pikachu. One way or another, let's go for broke."
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu leapt off Ash's shoulder and stood in front of him, sparking his cheeks.
"Ash has now brought out his last pokemon. It all rides on his Pikachu."
Many in the audience were watching in interest.
"Isn't that the Pikachu he always carries around on his shoulder?"
"I wonder if he's any good."
"Pikachu." Gary said with interest.
"Sing!"
"Agility!"
Pikachu moved so fast that he was in Primarina's face before she could open for mouth.
"Thunder!"
"Pika chu!" Pikachu shouted blasting Primarina with electricity.
Primarina's head hit the ground with swirly eyes.
"Primarina is unable to battle."
"Yes!" Serena shouted.
"It's all down to one final pokemon each folks!"
"Wait, Gary doesn't have a sixth pokemon." Hau said.
"Yes he does." Mallow said smiling.
"What?" Serena asked.
"Primarina return, hmp. Well Ash somehow I knew it would come to this, a long time ago, me, you, and your Pikachu. Unfortunately for you two , I've been preparing for this day. I've been raising a pokemon in secret, one meant specifically to fight Pikachu."
Ash wasn't sure what kind of Pokemon Gary had, maybe a ground type. No, Gary knew Pikachu could beat any pokemon that had an advantage over him and he knew it. This was something else.
Gary held his pokeball tight.
"Go Raichu!"
Ash and Pikachu's eyes widened as they saw an Alolan Raichu come out , hovering on his tail.
"Raichu!?" Serena shouted.
"Raichu!?" Red shouted.
"Raichu!?" Ash shouted as Pikachu also looked nervous.
"This is amazing folks, it seems this is the ace Gary held up his sleeve. It all comes down to this."
"Pikachu Agility!"
PIkachu began sprinting forward so fast that he could barely be seen.
"Double team." Gary's Raichu made dozens of copies that all flew around in the air over Pikachu.
"Thunder!"
"Pika chu!" Pikachu shouted as he unleashed a blast of lightning over him.
"Iron tail!" Pikachu caught his own lightning with his tail before reflecting it around the field, hitting as many of the copies as he could.
"Quick attack."
The real Raichu flew down and moved incredibly fast across the field. Ash was surprised at how fast the Raichu was, Pikachu ,however, still had his agility and avoided each strike.
"Psychic!"
"Slam!"
Raichu's eyes glowed as he caught Pikachu and held him in place, Ash nervously sweating as Pikachu did the same.
Raichu and Gary smiled as Pikachu was smashed into the ground.
"Pikachu use agility."
"Double team!"
The Raichu made more copies of himself that flew all around the air over Pikachu.
"Thunder!"
"Thunderbolt!"
All of the Raichu's began blasting lightning at Pikachu who had to move fast to avoid them.
Ash looked more nervous now.
Serena as well.
"Use Psychic!"
"Volt tackle!"
"Pika chu!" Pikachu shouted as he covered himself in electricity and charged through all of the spurting electricity around him, the electricity was absorbed by Pikachu, so much excess that even the psychic couldn't contain him.
"Oh shit." Gary said before Pikachu slammed into his Raichu and knocked him onto the ground.
"Whew." Serena said as Mallow grit her teeth.
"It seems evolution isn't everything as Ash's Pikachu is keeping up with the raichu."
"That boy has a special bond with his Pikachu, it reminds me of a trainer I know." Kal said as Felix and Greninja watched closely.
"Quick attack!"
"Agility!"
Raichu and Pikachu began another speed clash, Pikachu avoiding each of Raichu's strikes while also keeping a distance in case us used Psychic.
However, Raichu made a sharp turn on his tail board and then leapt over to where Pikachu was with surprising agility.
"Psychic! This ends now!"
Raichu held onto Pikachu with Psychic and held him strong, Raichu slamming Pikachu hard into the ground.
"Thunderbolt!"
"Rai chu!" Raichu shouted as he filled Pikachu with electricity.
"Agility!"
"Psychic!"
Before Pikachu could even move he was picked up again and smashed hard into the ground.
"Quick attack!"
Raichu slammed into Pikachu one more time.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu landed in front of Ash on his stomach.
"Pikachu!" Serena said.
"Hurry Gary!" Mallow shouted.
"Don't let him react, use psychic!" Gary shouted as Pikachu tried to get up.
Felix, Kal, and Dragon Caesar all looked closely at Ash and Pikachu.
Ash closed his eyes, Pikachu getting up as the psychic came around him.
Dragon Caesar and the other guardians saw it, Ash and Pikachu's aura coming together.
"And so, it's done. Ash-Pikachu is born."
Pikachu glowed green with electricity and energy surging around him , Ash's aura forced the Psychic away as Gary looked confused.
"What the Hell?"
The audience was just as confused, Ninetales as out as well, watching closely as they saw Pikachu begin to transform.
As Ash and Pikachu's aura synched completely, Pikachu's new form was seen. He had dragon like scales around his body that were yellow and black , his body having a more dragon like shape to it, but still clearly being a Pikachu, he had claws on his hands and feet and fangs.
"Pika chu!"
"Folks I have just pissed my pants."
Felix and Greninja gave proud looks seeing this as the others were in disbelief.
"How!? It's not fair!" Gary shouted.
"Raichu use Psychic!"
"Pikachu volt tackle!" Ash-Pikachu broke out of the second psychic and charged forward with electricity around him.
"Dodge it!"
Raichu flew over Ash-Pikachu, but he stopped and reversed himself, leaping high into the air and slamming Raichu into the ground.
"Double team and Thunderbolt!" Raichu made dozens of copies of himself that all unleashed electricity at Ash-Pikachu.
"Dragon Rush!"
"Pika chu!" Ash-Pikachu covering himself in dragon energy before smashing through all the electricity and copies before slamming into Raichu himself.
"Rai!" Raichu landed on the ground with swirly eyes.
"Raichu is unable to battle, the winner is Ash Ketchum."
The audience unleashed an uproar of applause as Ash and Pikachu tried to take in what just happened. They had won, they were the Alolan champions.
Ash didn't say anything, Ash-Pikachu simply turned and ran into his arms.
Serena let out an unrecognizable shout of excitement.
Gary's head lowering as he returned Raichu.
"And so, it is what it is." Gary raised his head to see Ash in front of him, extending his hand out.
Gary gave a slight smile as he shook Ash's hand back.
Later that night, Ash stood in the center of the battlefield with Gary, Kal, Olivia, and Hala around him.
"Introducing your Alolan elite four, Gary, Kal, Olivia, and Hala." The audience applauded greatly. Lance, Cynthia, Steven, Alder, and Diantha standing with Daniel in front of Ash.
"Now the very first Alolan region champion, Ash Ketchum!"
Ash and his six pokemon around them took in the applause, and the weight of the moment. The guardian beasts around them as well. Unknown to him, even some Gorma had arrived in secret to watch. All of Alola come together.
Several months later Delia and Felix sat in the front row of a church in Lumiose city. With them on the right side of the church was Kal, professor Oak, Satoshi and his family, Ilima, Kiawe, and his family. Daniel and Cynthia were there as well.
On the left side was Grace with Lana, Tyler and Aria, Lana, Tina, Allow, Olivia, and Nanu with his daughter beside him.
Ash stood up at the alter in a tuxedo, Pikachu on his shoulder, with Red beside him, Gary beside Red, and Hau beside him.
On the other side was Lillie, Moon, and Mallow.
A priest stood in the center as music began to play, the guests got up and turned as they saw Alex in his kalos army officer's service dress. He was holding Serena's arm as she wore a white wedding dress with her veil over her face.
They reached the alter where Alex removed Serena's veil before giving her a kiss on the cheek.
He went beside Grace as Serena stepped up by Ash.
The priest began to run through the homily. Everyone in get joy watching this.
Serena and Ash looking into each other's eyes before the priest asked for the rings.
Red reached into his jacket and took out the rings before handing them to Ash and Serena.
The two put on each other's rings before saying their vows.
"I hereby pronounce you still husband and wife, you may kiss your bride."
Ash and Serena kissed, their guests applauding.
Epilog
It was late in the morning at the Meelee island pokemon academy and several students were waiting in their seats.
Sitting near the front was a young man perhaps 18 with a Pikachu on his shoulder. He had spiky raven black hair , slightly tanned skin, and blue eyes.
Near him was a girl perhaps 16 years old with long raven black hair, the same skin tone, and brown eyes.
In her lap was an alolan Vulpix.
Not far from them was another young woman with short blonde hair and green eyes. She had a Type Null beside her seat.
In the seat behind her was a young man with short black hair and grayish eyes, a Torracat beside him.
In the front row was a young man with much more tanned skin, grey eyes and brown hair with a Midday Lycanroc beside him.
There was also a young man with spike brown hair, tanned skin like Hau, and green eyes with an Electrabuzz beside him.
Finally in the middle of the room was a young man with shorter spiky light brown hair, and green eyes with a Charmander beside him.
Next to him was a young man with tanned skin, brown hair, and light grey eyes. Beside him was a Yungoos.
Also in that row was a young man with dark skin, red and black hair with blue eyes with a small Cubone beside him.
A young woman with long green hair , tanned skin, and blackish eyes and a Formantis beside her.
There was also a young woman with silvery hair, tanned skin, and brown eyes.
A young man with a shaved head, lighter skin, and green eyes. The last student being a young woman with short green hair and grey eyes.
All of the students were talking with each other before the one with the Cubone saw something.
"Hey Kaili you're dad's coming."
A man in his mid thirties came in with a Decidueye beside him.
"Alola students."
"Alola Professor."
"Time for roll call, Kaili."
"Here."
"Jason."
"Here."
"Delia."
"Here."
"Samson."
"Here."
"Kanoa."
"Here."
"Kalino."
"Here."
"Andrew"
"Here."
"Mon."
"Here."
"Sandra."
"Here."
"Lani"
"Here."
"Lahela."
"Here."
"Leimomi."
"Here."
"Lokelani."
"Here."
"Lopaka."
"Here."
"Good, we can begin our lesson."
"Professor?" One of the students asked.
"Yes Lokelani?"
"Are we still doing training after class."
"Yes Lokelani."
She sighed.
"Come on , where's your sense of duty." Mon said in a mocking tone.
"Shut up."
Elsewhere on Akala island at an Aether corporation hospital several people were watching from the other side of glass.
Standing with them was a woman in her mid thirties with long blonde hair and green eyes. She was watching closely as on the other side several men and women in surgery gear stood around a woman the other woman's age with shorter black hair and silvery blue eyes.
She was doing very intricate work with the other doctors carefully assisting her and giving her equipment.
She took a deep breath before turning to another doctor and nodded as he cut off the anesthesia.
The doctor picked up a small Eevee with stitching around his right front leg.
The Eeveee's eyes slowly opened.
"Eevee."
One of the people in the room had a camera running.
"Alright Eevee try to move your leg for me."
The Eevee slowly moved his leg around, the doctor carefully placing the Eevee on the ground. Everyone watched closely before the Eevee began walking around.
"It worked, the first successful reattachment of a pokemon's lost limb." A series of applause broke out.
"Dr. Aether you're a genius."
Dr. Aether looked through the glass at the other woman who had an excited look.
Elsewhere on the same island, a man in his thirties was in a recording studio with a guitar in hand.
He was singing as several people worked on the other side of the room.
"And good, that sounded great Gladion."
Gladion set the guitar down, looking at it.
In Malie city, at a theater like building, several people watched in anticipation as the curtains raised.
Standing on the on the stage was a woman in her early to mid thirties with long honey blonde hair and blue eyes. Beside her was an alolan ninetales.
Music began to play as the two slowly danced together.
Inside another stadium, a man in his thirties with spiky brown hair and light brown eyes.
In front of him was a Mega Charizard Y that battled an Alolan Golem, the Charizard Y blasting the electricity from the Golem away before snatching him in his arms and flew the pokemon into the air before hurling the Golem into the ground.
After doing so the Golem was knocked out , the Charizard Y landing on him and roaring.
Elsewhere on top of Mount Lanakila two men in their thirties were battling a man and a woman in the stadium.
One had spiked brown hair and blackish eyes while the other had spiky raven black hair and brown eyes, with a dragon like Pikachu on his shoulder.
In front of them were two dinosaurs, A Tyrantrum and a Bastiodon. Both dinosaurs were far larger and looked different than their regular counterparts. The Bastiodon had a more triceratopsian body , its head more of a triangular frill and had two horns on the sides of the center of its face, more spikes on the top its body and less on the sides.
The Tyrantrum had more feathers around its head and neck, as well as dragon like features as well, a more dragon like head and claws with spikes areas on the tails, legs, and around the back of the neck.
Both of them far larger than any normal Tyrantrum or Bastion. They were facing a dark skinned woman with long purple hair who had a Haxorus, and a man with lighter skin, brown hair, and brown eyes with a Zekrom in front of him.
The Haxorus and Bastiodon clashed, both trying to overpower the other before the Bastiodon easily lifted the Haxorus off his feet and smashed him hard into the ground.
The Zekrom tried to unleash outrage, but the Tyrantrum charged forward with Dragon Rush and smashed through each burst before hitting the Zekrom and smashed him into the ground.
"It's over, Elite four member Gary Oak and Alolan Champion Ash Ketchum have defended the honor of the Alolan league against Unova champion Hilbert and elite four member Iris." The audience applauding.
After the match the two entered a back area where Kal, Olivia, and Kiawie were waiting.
"Great work you two, that ought to keep those jerks from Unova quite for a while." Olivia said.
"Next time we have a battle like this It's my turn to go." Kiawe said.
"Really Kiawe, is the newest member of the elite four trying to make a name for himself." Gary said.
"Hell yeah." Kiawe said confidently.
"Gary!" They heard, turning to see Mallow enter the room. With her were seven kids of various ages, three girls and four boys.
All of the children nearly tackled Gary to the ground as they swarmed him.
"I still can't believe you guys us eight grandkids Mallow." Olivia said smiling.
"Don't look at me, Gary did half the work." She said smiling.
"Speaking of families, we have that lunch today." Ash said.
"Oh right, we don't want to be late." Kal said.
The Alolan elite four and champion departed the mountain before heading down to Malie city.
They came to a restaurant with an area marked off for them alone.
Several people were waiting for them, Serena, Moon, Gladion, Red, Ilima, Tina, Cana, Red, Lillie, Felix , Delia and a young man, perhaps 15 years old. He looked almost exactly like Ash only younger.
"We were wondering when you'd all get here." Felix said.
"Sorry, the elevators were running a little slow." Ash said.
"I still don't see why I had to go to mom's performance instead of your battle." The teenager said.
"Because Alex, Miette had her daughter there. I wasn't going childless." Serena said smiling as the boy rolled his eyes.
"Where's Hau with the rest of the kids?" Delia asked.
"He said they were on their way." Cana said.
"Alola!" They heard, turning to see Hau with all of his student and Kukui.
"There they are." Moon said before they each came around the table, sitting by there parents.
"I hope you're training our children well enough Hau." Gary said.
"You're welcome to help me any time Gary."
"Ehh with eight kids and elite four duty, I don't have the time."
"Of course you don't dad." Samson said.
"That's no excuse, I expect you to be the best in your class, and in other matters." Gary said to his son.
"Gary." Mallow said putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Besides we know who the best is." Jason said , his Pikachu smiling as it sat on his shoulder.
Serena shook her head smiling.
"Were dad and Gary like that growing up?" Delia asked her mother.
"You have no idea sweetheart."
Moments later three figures appeared in front of them from thin air.
"Geez Tom., are you Gorma always fashionably late?" Cana asked.
Guzmo stood before them with Tom and a gorma young woman both in human form with brown eyes and hair.
"Don't look at me, Cynthia and Gorma XV here held us up." Tom said.
"My wife and I had to visit a physician." Guzmo said as Cynthia smiled with her eyes closed.
"We're expecting!"
"Really!"
Cynthia nodded.
"I suppose there needs to be a Gorma XVI." Ash said.
"Aether paradise is much nicer than the old Gorma palace, thanks again for giving it to us." Guzmo said to Lillie who nodded.
Moments later the ground shook after they heard four explosions.
They looked over and saw a Magmortar, Kangaskhan, Palossand, and Lickitongue esk Gorma grow massive.
"Zyutribe filth your reckoning has finally come!" They shouted.
"It seems Shadam is still at it." Red said.
"Will that bastard just give it up already." Guzmo said.
"I suppose the Zyurangers and Kyoryugers better do something." Ash said.
(XXXX)The students gave confident smiles as they got up.
The young woman with the Formantis , the silver haired girl, the shaved boy, the short green haired girl, the boy with the Cubone and the boy with the Yungoos all taking out spirit batteries.
The rest taking out bucklers and aura changers.
"Brave in!"
"Dino Buckler!"
"Kyoryu Silver Lopaka!"
"Deathryuger Kalino!"
"Kyoryu grey Kanoa!"
"Kyoryu Violet Lokelani!
"Kyoryu turquoise Lahela!"
"Kyoryu cyan Leimomi!"
"Kyoruger!"
"Tyrannoranger Andrew!"
"Aeroranger Mon!"
"Mammoranger Samson!"
"Bastioranger Kaili!"
"Aeroranger Delia!"
"Dragon ranger Jason!"
"Kibaranger Sandra!"
"Dinosaur Squad, Zyuranger!"
The ground shook as the Guardian beasts came out and transformed into their Mega evolved forms as well as Ultra forms. GoZyuJin also coming out.
The four massive Gorma turned to see Mega Daizyujin , Dragon Caesar, GoZyuJin, and Won Chimera.
Ash , Gary , and Red looked up before looking at bucklers of their own.
Serena put her hand on Ash's hand before he looked at her.
"Let them handle it."
Ash looked back up, Alex looking up with envy.
"Let's go!" Andrew shouted.
GoZyuJin danced around the Pallossand, knocking back each of his strikes before kicking him back and blasting him with firework energy blasts.
Won Chimera slashed back the Lickitongue gorma's tongues before grabbing one and pulling him close before slashing across his stomach and flipping him onto his back.
Mega Dragon Caesar knocked the Kangaskhan's arms back with his claws before smashing his tail into her head. He lunged forward, slashing her two more times before breathing dragon fire into the gorma.
Mega Daizyujin slashed the Magmortar Gorma back with his double ended sword, the Gorma tried to blast them with magma, but Mega Daizyujin quickly bent a wave of water into the magma and then into the Gorma forcing him onto the ground as the four Gorma tried to form up.
The four guardians formed up as Mega Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar put their arms together before they combined into Ultimate Daizyujin.
"Empire attack!"
"Ka-me-ha-me-ha!" Ultimate Daizyujin roared as the sphere of elements formed in his hands before coming out and splitting into four separate spheres that hit the four Gorma, destroying them.
The group sat below, watching their children as they finished the four Gorma.
Inside Ultimate Daizyujin the Zyurangers gave each other hi fives and excited chants.
Author's note
A hundred and one chapters, and she's finally done, my last Amourshipping fanfic, at least with Amourshipping as the main focus, it's almost kind of sad, but it has to be my last, I can only do so many of them.
I did have a lot of fun making this story, I had more inspiration that my last story, I felt as good as I did writing X and Y Ash's beginning.
Ash is Alola's champion and has Ash-Pikachu,
Serena is a top performer
Gary is in the elite four with Kiawe,
Moon works as a doctor at Aether
Gladion is a singer
Hau a professor and mentor to the new Zyurangers,
and Red is at the top of his game in the AAA
Even if they didn't get the peace they hoped for they did get some peace with Guzmo
But thus is the nature of the world, conflict can never truly vanish
