May and Emi were soon allowed out of the capsule and they looked around for the boys.

"I hope they're alright." Emi frowned.

"Where are they?" Pikachu wondered.

"I'm not sure, Pikachu, I'm not sure." Emi told the Electric Mouse Pokemon.

"It can't be... No way..." May whispered as she feared the worst.

Emi frowned as she began to pray that Ash and Akito were still alive. Phantom soon came to the water and grabbed Manaphy.

"No, don't!" Emi told the pirate. "Stop it!"

"You'll be coming with me." Phantom smirked as he grabbed Manaphy before swimming away.

"NOOOOOO!" Emi cried out and her cries seemed to alert the Water Pokemon as they came out, looking right at her. "He's getting away with Manaphy!"

The Water Pokemon soon glared and they began to swim after Phantom.

"Are they listening to you?" May asked.

"Looks that way..." Emi replied. "They must have heard my cry and wanted to help."

"As long as you're by my side, I can always find The Temple!" Phantom smirked to Manaphy.

The Water Pokemon soon appeared in front of him.

"Move it!" Phantom glared at them.

The Water Pokemon didn't obey him.

"I said MOVE!" Phantom glared.

The Shark Pokemon known as Sharkpedo began to attack Phantom's ride to make him sink in the water. Once he waded in the water, a Squirtle helped Manaphy to safety while the other Water Pokemon all attacked Phantom until two golden auras came from the water. This had caught everyone's attention. The Water Pokemon continued to attack Phantom until they saw the auras and soon stopped like they could sense something coming. For the evil pirate, this was a brief relief for him. The golden auras soon came out of the water.

"What's that?!" Phantom snapped.

The boys were soon glowing the golden glow and came crashing down towards the pirate.

"Ash! Akito!" May and Emi cheered in relief.

"Missed us?!" Akito glared at Phantom.

Phantom growled as the boys came back which annoyed him.

"Hey, Phantom, we're taking Manaphy back!" Ash glared at the pirate.

"You are? Let's see you try!" Phantom grinned darkly.

Akito glared back at the pirate. Ash and Akito soon chased down Akito and the Water Pokemon began to help as Squirtle soon handed Manaphy back to May and Emi.

"Aw, thanks, little guy." Emi smiled.

"You're welcome!" Squirtle beamed.

"Hey, it's Ash and Akito." Meredith commented.

"And so it shall be, to whoever wears this crown will be King of the Sea," Ship memorized. "And it's true, behold The Sea Crown, it is the touch stone between the People of the Water and the Water Pokemon."

Akito and Ash glared as they continued after Phantom without fear as he tried to get away.

"Codfish..." Akito scoffed since Phantom was being a cowardly pirate a lot like another one he had heard about. "Give up!"

"You'll never catch me!" Phantom glared.

"Where're you goin'?!" Ash challenged.

"Can your friends help?" Emi asked Squirtle.

"Of course we can," Squirtle smiled. "Especially if you say so."

Emi knew this was true.

"Come on, guys." Squirtle told the other Water Pokemon.

They all nodded and they soon helped Ash and Akito chase after Phantom as he tried to escape.

"I like these odds." Akito smirked.

"Comin' at ya!" Kyogore called out as it lifted Phantom into the air as Akito and Ash hovered in the sky.

"Awesome!" Akito smiled.

Phantom soon went flying up to them.

"Gotcha," Akito smirked as he grabbed the pirate into a bear hug even though he was a little kid. "So, you still think I'm just a little kid?" He soon heard something mechanical on the pirate's body. "What's that sound?" he then asked.

"Uh, what sound?" Phantom asked, innocently.

Akito glared before soon ripping off the pirate's clothes.

"Hey, what're you doing, you sea pup?!" Phantom glared.

Akito continued to break apart until he soon saw that the pirate had a mechanical suit of some sorts. "Aha! So this is how you're so strong." He glared.

"Yeah? What's your secret then?" Phantom scoffed.

"Genetics," Akito pounded his own chest proudly. "I'm so much like my father, I even have his strength."

Phantom was soon brought down and was soon tied up by a rope Akito made with his crystal power.

"And I'll just take care of you with that~..." Akito then smirked.

"WHAT KIND OF BOY ARE YOU?!" Phantom snapped.

"My family says I'm very special." Akito smirked to the pirate.

Phantom glared with a growl as this boy seemed to annoy him even more. Akito just smirked.

"You cannot do this to me." Phantom glared.

"OBJECTION!" Akito snapped, quoting his father's lawyer. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say or do can and will be used against you."

Everyone soon arrived.

"Cursed boy and Pokemon..." Phantom growled.

"I said be quiet!" Akito scolded.

"Akito!" Estelle beamed and hugged her twin brother once they reunited. "You did it! You caught Phantom!"

"Yeah, and get this, the reason why he's so strong was just because of a mechanical suit." Akito scoffed.

"Really?" Estelle asked, looking a bit deadpan herself.

"Pathetic..." Akito and Estelle rolled their eyes in unison.

"Pathetic!" A familiar Pokemon voice parroted.

"Casey, you too?!" Phantom complained to his Chatot.

The Chatot named Casey soon landed on Jack's right shoulder.

They soon all came together once the Sea Temple was saved and Phantom was defeated.

"And Manaphy's going too." Ship said softly.

"Hopefully he can." Max whispered.

"Yeah." Melody added.

"I'm sure he will, guys." Lizabeth soothed.

"Me too." Meredith added as Kyle nodded his head.

Akito had a feeling Manaphy would come back to May to say goodbye. Everyone just stared out into the water.

"Thank you, Aunt Athena, for everything... I know we never got to meet, but thank you so much..." Akito prayed as he went to be alone for a moment until he soon saw a familiar Sea Prince coming back. "It means so much to me that you reached out to me when I needed guidance the most when helping Manaphy and the People of the Water, and even The Sea Temple... Gotta go, bye." he then signed off like he was actually talking to his great-aunt before dashing back to the others.

"Manaphy!" May gasped and soon rushed to go see the Water Pokemon one last time.

Manaphy soon jumped into May's arms one last time.

"I'm so proud of you, and all that you've done." May smiled down to the Pokemon.

"Happy!" Manaphy smiled back.

"You won't forget me, will you?" May asked hopefully.

"Love... You... May!" Manaphy soon said.

This surprised May before smiling sadly. "Goodbye... Love you..." she then told the Pokemon.

"Love you, Mama... Love you, May..." Manaphy smiled back before jumping out of her arms and returned to the ocean.

Estelle could understand how May felt now. Emi put her hand on May's shoulder with a sad smile. May looked back at her and the two girls soon shared a quick hug as this was a very touching moment.

"You going to be okay?" Emi asked.

"No, I'm not alright..." May said softly before smiling with bright eyes. "But I will be!"

"He'll always remember you, May." Estelle smiled back.

"A son always remembers his mother." Vincent added.

"So, Jack, would you call this a mission accomplished?" Akito asked the Pokemon Ranger.

"I sure would." Jack nodded.

"Thank you, Manaphy too for the help," Akito then finished his prayer as he bowed his head. "Amen."

Soon enough, it was time for the Fudo cousins to go back home.

"See you next time?" Emi asked.

"I guarantee it." Akito promised her.

"Great." Emi smiled.

Akito and the others soon dove into the water and soon went back to Melody's castle. Emi waved to them and of course, so did the others.

The adults were on the beach by the castle, admiring the ocean as they were able to visit it since the wall was tore down, and where they soon saw that their kids were coming back after their latest adventure.

"We're back." Melody smiled.

"Oh, Melody..." Ariel smiled back. "You stay safe?"

"Yes, Mom." Melody said with a small sigh.

"Honestly?" Mo asked.

"We had a little danger." Estelle admitted.

"Yeah?" Atticus replied. "I bet you kids did."

"Wouldn't be a Pocket Monster adventure if you kids hadn't..." Forte hid a sly smirk.

"This ain't over yet, you twerps!" A voice yelled out.

Akito, Estelle, Felicity, Melody, and Vincent turned around to see Team Rocket as they somehow followed them home and did their motto.

"Hello, Cassidy and Bullwinkle." Cherry smirked.

"It's Butch!" Butch glared.

"How did you guys follow us back here?" Melody glared.

"We have our own special ways of working," Cassidy smirked. "You thought you'd get away with not seeing us, you should think again!"

Eventually, the adults brought out their weapons to protect their children as they looked angry and annoyed with the Team Rocket members who came for their kids. Estelle soon brought out the Ralts twins. Mismagius growled and glared. Teddy looked like he wanted to beat up the Team Rocket members. Vulpix even snarled with Pupitar and Ponyta.

"Aw, I ain't afraid of you, bring it on!" Raticate scoffed.

"Time to do a combo attack." Akito smirked.

"Uh-oh..." The members of Team Rocket gulped.

"It's time to... Kill Cassidy and Bill!" Cherry glared.

"IT'S BUTCH!" Butch snapped at her.

"Oh, Maman, we're not going to kill them, are we?" Felicity asked uneasily.

"Well, at least blast them off." Cherry smirked.

"That we can do." Felicity and her cousins smirked back.

"You're not gonna do that, are you?" Cassidy glared. "You don't even know us!"

"Well, we do know quite a bit from the kids..." Mo replied. "So..."

Everyone soon did a group attack against Team Rocket to get them off of the beach, and where after an explosion from the attacks, Team Rocket was sent flying.

"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" Butch, Cassidy, and Raticate cried out before disappearing within the sky.

"And hope we never see them again." Melody said.

"I doubt it, but we'll see..." Akito replied. "I'm just glad Jessie, James, and Meowth decided that they didn't need Giovanni anymore."

"As am I." Felicity agreed.

"So can we go to Laputa?" Akito asked. "Pleeeeeease?"

"Well... I don't know..." Atticus said. "We don't really have a way to get there..."

"Dang it." Akito groaned.

"I'm sorry, Akito..." Mo frowned.

"Isn't there something in the linen closet back home to help?" Akito asked.

Atticus and Mo looked to each other, unsure of that themselves before looking back to their younger son. A page from his book soon slipped out and fell on the beachy sand.

"Oh, no, a page slipped out!" Akito frowned.

"Alright, bring me your book, and I'll patch it back." Mo soothed.

The page was soon seen as a spell. Mo soon took the page and was about to put it back in the book, but did a double take.

"What is it, Mom?" Estelle asked.

"It's... It's a spell... I never noticed this before." Mo said as she looked at the page.

"Looks like we know how to get to Laputa now." Atticus replied.

"That castle in the sky?" Cherry asked.

"You know too?" Felicity asked her mother.

"I know everything." Cherry smirked slightly.

"Hmm... Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try." Mo said.

"Right, right, we will, but first..." Vincent said.

They soon came inside as they were all a bit hungry after a long journey away from home and the kids sat at their own table while their parents sat at the bigger table to have a quick meal break. Of course, the meal was very delicious.

"Okay, that's better... Now we can focus." Vincent said.

"I can't believe I missed this when I bought the book..." Mo said as she held the spell page for safe-keeping.

"Drell must have hidden it with magic." Atticus replied.

"Jerk..." Cherry mumbled after wiping her mouth.

"So, shall we recite it?" Mo asked.

"It's not dangerous, right?" Eric asked.

"Relax, Eric, we do stuff like this all the time." Atticus assured him.

"It's true." Mo said.

"Well... All right then..." Eric said. "Still a lot to get used to."

"Even after finding out Ariel was a mermaid?" Cherry replied.

"It's just strange." Eric defended.

"Okay, okay." Cherry said.

"Ahem!" Atticus cleared his throat.

"Ah, you're fine." Cherry smirked, ruffling his hair.

Atticus rolled his eyes, straightening out his hair and put his work hat back on.

"Alright, time for some magic." Akito said.

They soon left the dining room and they went to do this.

"Ariel, did you wanna come?" Atticus asked his cousin.

"Oh, I don't know honestly..." Ariel smiled shyly.

"It might be fun." Atticus smiled back.

"Well... Eric, would you like to come?" Ariel asked her husband.

"I suppose I could..." Eric smiled. "Any room for one more?"

"Always." Akito said.

Eric smiled to them.

They soon left the castle and held the spell to send them to the infamous Castle in the Sky. Once they were ready, they recited the spell together.

"'Take us far and wide, to a great adventure on the outside, No need to cause a hassle, take us to The Laputa Castle'." Everyone recited and they soon disappeared in a beam of bright light.

The End
