Side-Fic 253: The Prison Riot Pt. 2

Rated TV-14 (DLSV)

Ash: Hey, everybody! The show's about to begin!

Serena: Make sure your room is brightly lit, and don't sit too close to the monitor.

Cynthia: And watch for special guests.

Pikachu: Pika-Pika!


Narrator: In New York City's fight against crime, the dedicated detectives who pursue the most vicious criminals are members of an elite unit known as ACME Crime Net.

Ash: Previously on ACME Crime Net,...

[Clips from the previous side-fic are shown]

[Central Park, Monday, January 2nd, 2017, 10:01am]

[The Legendary Dogs growl]

Eleanor: Kyogre and Groudon!


Serena: Dialga and Palkia!

Clemont: Reshiram and Zekrom!


Ash: They're all over the place!

Alvin: Good thing we've got a lot of Pokémon to ward 'em off. But I need all my Pokémon to take down Hoopa.

Brittany: No problem, Alvin. [tosses five Pokéballs] Blaziken, Serperior, Meganium, Altaria, Tyranitar, back up Seismitoad!

[Out of the Pokéballs come said Pokémon]

Blaziken: Blaziken!

Serperior: Serperior!


Meganium: Meganium!

[Out of the Pokéballs come said Pokémon]

Dewgong: Dewgong!

Poliwrath: Poliwrath!

Swampert: Swampert!

Feraligatr: Feraligatr!

Starmie: Ha!

[Cut to the cockpit of the damaged Turbo Spider]

Hunter: Simon, Theodore, you're trainers, too, right?

Lumen: Send out your Pokémon, too!

Simon: Well, if we can't get the Turbo Spider back on its feet, we can at least make ourselves useful. Open the windshield!

[The windshield opens]

Simon: [tosses six Pokéballs outside] Blastoise, Electivire, Torterra, Excadrill, Braixen, Golem, let's go!

Theodore: [tosses six Pokéballs outside] Venusaur, Frogadier, Sandslash, Weavile, Alakazam, Infernape, I choose you!

Golem: Golem!

Venusaur: Saur!

Frogadier: Frogadier!

Infernape: Infernape!

Simon and Theodore: Go get 'em, guys!

[All of the gang's Pokémon (minus Alvin's) fight the Legendary Pokémon (minus Hoopa)]

Alvin: Okay, Ghetsis. While they keep your army busy, Hoopa's all mine. Right, Cresselia?

Cresselia: [nods] Cress.

Ghetsis: A Psychic-type doesn't stand a chance against my Hoopa. Hoopa, Shadow Ball!

[Hoopa fires Shadow Ball at Cresselia]

Alvin: Protect!

[Cresselia shields itself from Shadow Ball w/said move]

Alvin: Now, use Signal Beam!

[Cresselia fires Signal Beam at Hoopa, hitting it hard]

Ghetsis: Hoopa may be greatly weak against Bug-type moves, but it can still endure. Hoopa, Hyperspace Fury!

[Hoopa repeatedly strikes Cresselia w/Hyperspace Fury]

Alvin: Cheap shot! Cresselia, better take a quick rest. [recalls Cresselia] Return! Good thing my next one has a Bug-type move of its own. [tosses another Pokéball] Chesnaught, I choose you!

[Out of the ball comes his Chesnaught]

Chesnaught: Chesnaught!

Ghetsis: A Fighting-type? Big mistake.

Alvin: We'll see. Chesnaught, Pin Missile!

[Chesnaught fires Pin Missile at Hoopa]

Ghetsis: Hyperspace Hole!

[Hoopa vanishes again, dodging Pin Missile]

Alvin: Chesnaught, use Spiky Shield to defend!

[Chesnaught tries to shield itself w/Spiky Shield, but Hoopa reappears behind it and fires at it, hitting it hard]

Chesnaught: NAUGHT!!

[It faints]

Alvin: Chesnaught!

Jeanette: Wow. Just one move?

[Sceptile fights Suicune; Suicune fires Aurora Beam at Sceptile]

Jeanette: Sceptile, Detect! Then use Leaf Blade!

[Sceptile blocks w/said move, then strikes Suicune w/Leaf Blade; Ninetales and Entei fire Fire Spin at each other]

Eleanor: Swampert, give Raikou a taste of Mud Bomb!

[Swampert fires Mud Bomb at Raikou, who blocks w/Protect, then strikes back w/Quick Attack]

Brittany: Blaziken, jump on Altaria's back!

[Blaziken does so; Altaria flies toward Articuno w/Blaziken in tow]

Brittany: Both of you use Flamethrower on Articuno!

[Blaziken and Altaria fire Flamethrower at Articuno, hitting it; Articuno fires Hurricane at them both, hitting them]

Brittany: Hang in there, you guys! Tyranitar, use Stone Edge on Moltres!

[Tyranitar fires Stone Edge at Moltres, who dodges, then strikes back w/Sky Attack]

Jeanette: I'll back you up, sis! Scizor, use Metal Claw on Articuno, and Typhlosion, use Eruption on all three birds!

[Scizor strikes Articuno w/Metal Claw, then nods at Typhlosion to give him the signal]

Typhlosion: Tyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-- [fires Eruption at all three Legendary Birds] --PHLOSION!!!!!

[All three birds get hit by Eruption hard just as Scizor dodges]

Archie: Prepare to feel the wrath of the mighty Kyogre! Origin Pulse!

[Kyogre fires Origin Pulse at Simon's Pokémon]

Simon: Golem, use Protect!

[Golem blocks Origin Pulse w/said move]

Golem: Golem!

Electivire: [gives a thumbs-up signal] Vire!

Simon: All right, Electivire! Give Kyogre the shock of its life! Thunder!

Electivire: Electiiiiiiii-- [fires Thunder at Kyogre] --VIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!!!!!

Ash: Pikachu, back it up! Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: Pikaaaaaaaaa-- [fires Thunderbolt at Kyogre] --CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

[Suddenly, Groudon jumps in and takes the hit; neither attack has any effect on it]

Ash: Groudon!

Pikachu: Pika!

Electivire: [growls] Electivire...

Maxie: Groudon, destroy them! Precipice Blades!

[Groudon stomps on the ground; lines of stones pop out in a line toward Pikachu and Electivire]

Ash: Greninja, intercept with Water Shuriken!

[Greninja jumps in and fires Water Shuriken at the stones, destroying them]

Ash: All right. If we're gonna beat this crowd of Legendaries, you're gonna hafta power up!

[The outline of his body glows; Greninja becomes surrounded by water and takes on the form of Ash-Greninja]

Tabitha: What the hell is that?!

Shelly: The nerve of that kid! His Greninja looks a lot like its trainer now!

Ash: Go, Greninja! Water Shuriken, full power!

[Greninja fires Water Shuriken at Kyogre and Groudon, hitting them both hard]

Theodore: Venusaur, smack Dialga with Power Whip!

[Venusaur does so successfully]

Simon: Blastoise, use Hydro Pump on Palkia!

[Blastoise fires Hydro Pump at Palkia, hitting it hard]

Colress: Zekrom and Reshiram, take them down!

[Zekrom fires Bolt Strike at Blastoise; Reshiram fires Blue Flare at Venusaur]

Simon: Excadrill, use Drill Run on Zekrom!

Theodore: Frogadier, use Hydro Pump on Reshiram!

[Excadrill and Frogadier strike Zekrom and Reshiram respectively w/said moves, stopping their attacks]

Alvin: You see that, Ghetsis? My friends aren't backing down, and neither am I! [tosses another Pokéball] Charizard, I choose you!

[Out of the ball comes his Charizard; Charizard roars]

Alvin: [puts on his Mega Ring] It's time to go Mega, buddy! Mega Evolution, go!

[His Key Stone does not react, nor does Charizard's Charizardite]

Alvin: What? Something's wrong.

Colress: [reveals the frequency blocker he wears around his wrist] Here's your answer, Alvin.

Alvin: What?! A frequency blocker?! Colress, you big cheat!

Colress: Cheat? I prefer evening out the odds. If we can't have Mega Stones, then you can't have Mega Pokémon.

Alvin: Using Mega Stones isn't against any rules, but that doesn't give you the right to bend them for your own selfish needs!

Ghetsis: Speaking of evening out the odds, our outnumbered Legendaries could use some help. Hoopa, summon backup!

[Hoopa tosses numerous hoops into the air, creating portals; countless more Legendary Pokémon emerge from the portals: The Legendary Titans: Regice, Registeel, and Regirock...]


[Latios,...]


[Latias,...]


[Rayquaza,...]



[Regigigas,...]


[Giratina,...]



[Kyurem,...]


[The Swords of Justice: Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion,...]



[...and the Forces of Nature: Tornadus, Landorus, and Thundurus]


Brittany: Great! Now there's even more of them! [extracts her Mega Necklace] Good thing I've got my Mega Necklace. Blaziken, get ready for Mega Evolution!

[Her Key Stone does not react]

Brittany: Mega Evolution!

[Still no reaction]

Brittany: What's wrong with this thing?! Alvin, my Mega Necklace isn't working!

Alvin: Neither's my Mega Ring! Colress is using a signal blocker to prevent our Key Stones from reacting, and if our Key Stones don't react, neither do the Mega Stones, which means--

Alvin and Brittany: No Mega Evolution!

Brittany: [growls] Dang you, Colress! Blaziken, we'll just have to make the best of things. Blaze Kick! Aim for Latios!

[Blaziken strikes Latios w/Blaze Kick]

Colress: Latios, Luster Purge!

[Latios fires Luster Purge at Blaziken, hitting him]

Brittany: Blaziken! Meganium, use Body Slam!

[Meganium jumps up and is about to slam on Latios, when Latias intercepts with Zen Headbutt]

Brittany: Latias?!

Colress: Latias, Mist Ball!

[Latias fires Mist Ball at Meganium, hitting her]

Brittany: Is this cycle never gonna end?! Tyranitar, Dark Pulse!

[Tyranitar fires Dark Pulse at Latias, hitting her]

Ash: Keep at it, guys! Hold off these Legendaries as long as you can!

[His Pokémon fight Rayquayza, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, save for Pikachu and Greninja, who fight Kyogre and Groudon alongside Simon's Pokémon; Jeanette's Pokémon fight the Swords of Justice; Eleanor's Pokémon fight the Forces of Nature; Serena's Pokémon fight Kyurem; Clemont's Pokémon fight the Legendary Titans, Regigigas, Reshiram, and Zekrom alongside Theodore's Pokémon]

[Cut back to the Turbo Spider's cockpit]

Sparkle: We're gonna need the other machines and the other Kaleido Gladiators, and fast!

Hunter: Right! Cyber Spiders, mobilize!

[Nothing happens]

Corona: Platinum Pardosa!

Aqune: Black Widow!

[Nothing happens]

Hunter: Dad, something's wrong. The other machines aren't responding.

Tyler: I've been running a scan, and whatever blocked the frequency of the Pokédex and the Mega Stones must be blocking the signal you use to summon the other machines. But I'll send the Kaleido Gladiators immediately.

Hunter: Got it. In the meantime, we'll try and get the Turbo Spider back on its feet.

Tyler: Can't be done, Hunter. The Turbo Spider's badly damaged. Dialga and Palkia did a complete number on it.

Hunter: Then what can we do without machines?

Tyler: Well, we can't summon anymore at the nonce, but I've got a plan B.

Hunter: What've you got?

Tyler: It took all holiday season to finally get this down pat, but by now, it should finally work. I've upgraded the Spider Racers to convert to the Super Spider Racers. They're designed to work in conjunction with your Super Mode.

Simon: How do we get them to work?

Tyler: First, disengage the Turbo Spider, then I'll transport the Spider Gems.

Hunter: Roger that, Dad. You heard him, guys. Let's disengage!

[Cut to the Battle Beetle's cockpit w/Deacon Hammond]

Hammond: So long, Spider Riders. FIRE!

[Cut back outside; the Battle Beetle fires its missiles at the Turbo Spider, but the Turbo Spider splits back into the Spider Racers, which evade the missiles]

[Cut to the cockpit of the Navy Navigator]

Shadow: Okay, Mr. Steele. We're ready.

[A Spider Gem (its color matches that of their respective Battle Spider) appears in each Spider Rider's hands]

Tyler: Insert it into the controls where you usually insert your Spider Crystal.

Hunter: Got it. Guys, you got all that?

Corona: Every word of it, baby.

Lumen: Let's put our new Super Spider Racers to work!

Hunter: Sync up, Spider Riders!

[All seven riders insert their Spider Gems into the controls; cut back outside; the Spider Racers transform into the following (each one also has two spider claws in front):
Navy Navigator: From a crossover to a more modernized full-size SUV w/a shark fin
Red Rover: From a mid-size to a full-size SUV w/a tank cannon
Violet Viper: From a convertible to a higher-performance muscle car w/keeled scales
Brown Buggy: From a subcompact to a compact car w/a grappling hook on top
Teal Trailblazer: From a mid-size to a full-size SUV w/three tank cannons on the hood
Ivory Ignition: From a mid-size to a full-size sedan w/flamethrowers on either side
Mini Motor: From a three-door to a five-door hatchback w/water cannons on either side]

Brittany: Alvin, look at the Spider Racers!

[Alvin and Charizard notice the newly-upgraded Super Spider Racers and are amazed]

Alvin: Whoa! They're awesome! Way to go, guys!

Hunter: I give you the Super Spider Racers!

Hammond: Super Spider Racers?!

Ghetsis: Colress, why didn't you use your frequency blocker on those things?!

Colress: I tried already. My frequency blocker can prevent other machines from arriving, but it doesn't work on transformations.

Ghetsis: [growls] Never mind. While Hammond keeps the Spider Riders busy, I've still got a battle to finish. Hoopa, attack Charizard with Shadow Ball!

[Hoopa fires Shadow Ball at Charizard, who dodges]

Alvin: Charizard, Flamethrower!

[Charizard fires Flamethrower at Hoopa, who dodges]

Alvin: Good move, but not good enough, Ghetsis. Charizard, Seismic Toss!

[Charizard grabs Hoopa, then lifts it high up into the air, then spins around toward the ground, and finally tosses Hoopa to the ground; Hoopa hits the ground hard, then gets back on its feet]

Ghetsis: Not quite over yet. Hyperspace Fury!

[Hoopa strikes Charizard repeatedly, but Charizard grabs it by one of its right hands, lifts it up, and slams it to the ground hard]

Alvin: Okay, Charizard! Use Outrage!

[Charizard roars loudly and wildly strikes Hoopa repeatedly w/Outrage]

Ghetsis: How can a Charizard learn Outrage?

Colress: That's no mere Charizard, sir.

Ghetsis: Silence! Hoopa, Hyperspace Hole!

[Hoopa vanishes, then reappears behind Charizard and fires at him, hitting him hard; Charizard furiously strikes it with Outrage again, then becomes confused]

Alvin: Charizard's gonna need a little rest. [recalls Charizard] Charizard, return! [tosses another Pokéball] Gothitelle, I choose you!

[Out of the ball comes his Gothitelle]


Gothitelle: Gothitelle!

Alvin: I know it's been a while since I last used you, Gothitelle, but I really need you right now. Start with Miracle Eye!

[Gothitelle's eyes glow, casting a spell on Hoopa]

Ghetsis: I have no idea what you just did, but that won't save you. Hoopa, Nasty Plot!

[Hoopa powers up w/said move]

Alvin: Gothitelle, Shadow Ball!

[Gothitelle fires Shadow Ball at Hoopa, hitting it]

Ghetsis: No Psychic-type can survive this. Hoopa, Hyperspace Fury!

[Hoopa strikes Gothitelle repeatedly w/Hyperspace Fury; Gothitelle growls]

Alvin: Future Sight!

[Gothitelle's eyes glow]

Ghetsis: That move won't work on Hoopa, considering it's a Dark-type. Hoopa, Hyperspace Hole!

[Hoopa disappears, then reappears behind Gothitelle and fires at her, hitting her; Gothitelle faints]

Alvin: [recalls Gothitelle] Return! Good job, Gothitelle. Hopefully your Future Sight will leave a serious mark on Hoopa. [tosses another Pokéball] I choose you, Simisage!

[Out of the ball comes his Simisage]


Simisage: Simisage!

Alvin: Start things off with Brick Break!

[Simisage strikes Hoopa w/Brick Break]

Ghetsis: Weakling. Hyperspace Hole!

[Hoopa disappears, then reappears behind Simisage, then fires at it; Pansage takes the blast]

Alvin: Simisage, don't give up! Use Leaf Storm!

[Simisage fires Leaf Storm at Hoopa, who dodges]

Ghetsis: Finish it with Hyperspace Fury!

[Hoopa strikes Simisage repeatedly w/said move; Simisage faints]

Alvin: Simisage!

Ghetsis: That's four down, two to go. And the only ones you have left are extremely weakened.

Alvin: So you say. Though you beat Gothitelle earlier, she did leave a little present.

Ghetsis: What?

[A portal appears and fires Future Sight at Hoopa, hitting it hard]

Ghetsis: That was Future Sight! But how could it work against a Dark-type?!

Alvin: Haven't you forgotten about Miracle Eye? It removed Hoopa's immunity to Psychic-type moves.

Ghetsis: [growls] Hoopa is far from finished.

Alvin: And so am I. [tosses another Pokéball] Cresselia, I choose you!

[Out of the ball comes Cresselia]

Cresselia: Cresselia!

Alvin: Psycho Cut!

[Cresselia strikes Hoopa w/Psycho Cut]

Alvin: That's just the beginning. Let's try one more Signal Beam!

[Cresselia fires Signal Beam at Hoopa]

Ghetsis: Hyperspace Hole!

[Hoopa vanishes, dodging the Signal Beam, then reappears behind Cresselia and fires at her, hitting her]

Ghetsis: One more move, and Charizard will be the next to go, and in one move.

Alvin: Not a chance! And this next move will prove it! Cresselia, Lunar Dance!

[Cresselia glows and spins around by the power of the moon, then faints]

Ghetsis: A grave mistake. You must have a death wish.

Alvin: [extracts his last Pokéball; Lunar Dance's remnants power it up] Not exactly. Lunar Dance actually gives the next Pokémon I send out a full recovery. [tosses the ball] Charizard, I choose you!

[Out of the ball comes Charizard, fully re-energized; Charizard roars]

Alvin: And with Hoopa at very low energy, there's no way you'll win! Go, Charizard!

Ghetsis: [growls] Damn you, Seville! Hoopa, attack now!

[Charizard and Hoopa charge at each other and fight]

[Cut back to the fight with the Battle Beetle]

Hunter: All right, Spider Riders! Let's take down this creep!

Other six: Right!

[The Super Spider Racers race toward the Battle Beetle]

Corona: Super Red Rover, Harpoon Cannon!

[The Super Red Rover fires harpoons from its tank cannon at the Battle Beetle, knocking it back]

Aqune: Super Violet Viper, Violet Surge!

[The Super Violet Viper becomes surrounded by violet aura and strikes the Battle Beetle hard]

Lumen: Super Ivory Ignition, Heat Beam!

Sparkle: Super Mini Motor, Freeze Beam!

[The Super Ivory Ignition fires a burning beam at the Battle Beetle; the Super Mini Motor fires a freezing beam at the Battle Beetle; the Battle Beetle takes the hit hard]

Hammond: Too hot, too cold! Damn it all!

Simon: I'd watch that mouth if I were you. Super Brown Buggy, deploy grappling hook!

[The Super Brown Buggy fires its grappling hook, poking a hole in the midsection]

Simon: Theodore!

Theodore: Right! Super Teal Trailblazer, fire icicle torpedoes!

[The Super Teal Trailblazer fires icicle torpedoes at the Battle Beetle, hitting it]

Hunter: Super Navy Navigator, Super Surge!

[The Super Navy Navigator becomes surrounded by blue aura and strikes the Battle Beetle hard]

Hammond: Spider Riders, you'll pay for this!

[All seven Super Spider Racers grab the Battle Beetle by the legs w/their claws and slam it to the ground repeatedly]

Hunter: Dad, does the Super Navy Navigator have a Fighter Mode, too?

Tyler: Try it out, son.

Hunter: Roger. Shadow, let's do this!

Shadow: Super Navy Navigator, convert!

[The Super Navy Navigator converts to a robotic warrior; it is nearly similar to the original, but with the following changes:
The arms and legs resemble Hunter's in Super Spider Rider form
The head has a shark's fin
The torso has a spider symbol]

Voice: Navy Caesar, ready!

Hunter: The Navy Caesar?

Tyler: Thought this new configuration could use a special name of its own. I'm beaming you its new weapon right now.

[The Navy Caesar is given a brand-new weapon: A navy blue broadsword]

Tyler: I call it the Xenon Blade.

Hunter and Shadow: Dad, you rock!

[The Navy Caesar and the Battle Beetle get into combat]

Ghetsis: It won't matter if he wins or loses. He's not essential to my plan. Hoopa, attack Charizard with Shadow Ball!

[Hoopa fires Shadow Ball at Charizard]

Alvin: Dodge it and use Flamethrower!

[Charizard dodges, then fires Flamethrower at Hoopa, hitting it]

Alvin: Bullseye! Now, use Flare Blitz!

[Charizard becomes enveloped in flames and strikes Hoopa w/Flare Blitz, then takes recoil damage]

Alvin: Still think you can beat me?

Ghetsis: I don't think. I know I can beat you! Hoopa, Hyperspace Fury!

[Hoopa strikes Charizard w/Hyperspace Fury; Charizard growls, then fires a full-powered Flamethrower at Hoopa, hitting it]

Saturn: That Charizard's got good initiative.

Jupiter: The kid sure has trained it well. But I doubt Ghetsis will lose that easily.

Mars: Pay attention, you two! Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina are losing, and you're not helping!

[Saturn and Jupiter turn and gasp as they notice said three Legendaries are getting pummelled by Goodra, Hawlucha, and Noivern]

Saturn: No!

Jupiter: You'll pay for this, Ketchum! Dialga, Roar of Time! Aim for Goodra!

[Dialga fires Roar of Time at Goodra]

Ash: Goodra, Dragon Pulse!

[Goodra fires Dragon Pulse at Dialga's Roar of Time, pushing it right back at it; Palkia intercepts and takes the hit instead]

Saturn: Palkia!

Jupiter: It didn't have to protect Dialga. Dialga would've endured. Giratina, give Hawlucha a taste of Shadow Force!

[Giratina vanishes]

Ash: It vanished. Hawlucha, be careful. You never know when Giratina may pop back up.

Hawlucha: Lucha!

Ash: In the meantime, use Flying Press on Dialga!

[Hawlucha leaps up and strikes Dialga w/Flying Press; Dialga hits the ground]

Jupiter: Dialga, no!

Mars: This next move is for Cyrus. Giratina, strike now!

[Giratina reappears behind Hawlucha]

Ash: Hawlucha, look out!

[Hawlucha gets struck by Giratina]

Mars: Now, it's the kid's turn! Were it not for his presence in our encounter back in Sinnoh, Cyrus would still be alive! Rayquayza, Dragon Ascent!

[Rayquayza emerges from the sky and Mega-evolves]


Mars: STRIKE NOW!

[Rayquayza dives toward Ash, who grits his teeth]

Pikachu: Pika-Pi!

Greninja: Ninja!

Bonnie: Oh, no!

Dedenne: Denne!

Clemont: Look out!

[Serena looks on with tears in her eyes]

Serena: ASH!!!

[Suddenly, a familiar figure strikes Rayquayza down w/Dragon Claw; Rayquayza hits the ground and groans]

Mars: What?! Who did that?!

[The figure whose claw struck Rayquayza is revealed to be a Garchomp]


[Garchomp growls]

Ash: Whoa! A Garchomp!

Pikachu: [jumps onto Ash's shoulder] Pika-Pi, Pi-ka-chu?

Ash: I'm okay, Pikachu. Could that Garchomp be Professor Sycamore's?

[Leaping into the scene is none other than...]


Ash: Cynthia!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Cynthia: Ash, are you all right?

Ash: Sure am. Thanks!

[The rest of his group runs up to him]

Serena: Ash, you really had me scared. Are you okay?

Ash: Don't worry, Serena. I'm fine. And it's all thanks to an old friend.

Cynthia: Cynthia, Sinnoh champion.

Bonnie: Hey, I've heard of you.

Clemont: Me, too.

Cynthia: There's more to talk about later. Right now, this Legendary Pokémon outbreak must come to a stop. And don't think I came with just my Garchomp.

[She whistles; entering the scene are more guests: Alain and Mairin]


Ash: Alain!

Serena: Mairin!

Mairin: Hey, you guys! Miss us?

Alain: We got a call from Cynthia asking to meet here.

Ash: It's great to see you guys again after the Kalos League.

Alain: But look who else is here.

[Pokémon champions from other regions enter: Diantha from Kalos,...]


[Alder from Unova,...]


[Steven Stone from Hoenn,...]


[and Lance]


Serena: Wow! Diantha's here!

Ash: And look at all these other Pokémon Champions! Alder of Unova, Steven of Hoenn, and Lance of the Indigo Elite Four! What a turnout!

Pikachu: Pika!

[The Chipettes walk up to Ash's group]

Brittany: [points at Alain] Ash, is this the guy who beat you out in the Kalos League?

Ash: Yep. Alain, Brittany. Brittany, Alain.

Brittany: Pleasure.

[She and Alain shake hands]

Alain: I've heard about you, Brittany. You and the other Chipettes.

DIantha: But we'll talk later. We've got work to do.

Cynthia: Let our your Pokémon, everybody!

Alain: [tosses a Pokéball] Charizard, go!

Mairin: [tosses a Pokéball] Come out, Chespie!

Diantha: Gardevoir!

Alder: Bouffalant!

Steven: Metagross!

Lance: Dragonite!

[Out of the Pokéballs come said Pokémon]


[Alain's Charizard roars]


Chespie: Chespin!


Gardevoir: Gardevoir!


Bouffalant: Bouffalant!


Metagross: Meta!


[Dragonite roars]

Cynthia: You guys help Garchomp out. I've got a gift for Alvin.

Everyone else: Right!

Brittany: You heard her, Blaziken! Lead the way!

Blaziken: Blaziken!

[He and the other Pokémon fight all the Legendaries with all their might]

Serena: Braixen, wait! Come with me.

[Her Braixen follows her as she walks up to Team Galactic]

Mars: What do you want, you little brat?

Serena: Team Galactic, breaking out of prison, causing a massive outbreak of Legendaries, and almost killing poor Ash with Rayquayza-- It's UNFORGIVABLE!!

Braixen: Braixen!

Simon: Looks like Serena's gonna need some help. Braixen, help her out!

[His Braixen joins Serena and her Braixen]

Serena and Simon: Braixen, FIRE BLAST!

[Both Braixen fire Fire Blast at Team Galactic, hitting all three of them hard]

Serena: You really think I'm gonna let you get away with all that?!

Mars: That boyfriend of yours caused the death of our leader!

Simon: [drives his racer to the scene] He deserved it! Cyrus almost destroyed Earth with Dialga and Palkia. He was a monster who cared only about himself. He hired an equally monstrous Pokémon Hunter to do his dirty deeds, knowing her traits. Just look at you three! All your loyalty-- Wasted on hatred and destruction! And even with Cyrus dead, you can never get it back!

Jupiter: I'm afraid the kid is right, Mars. We must fall back.

Saturn: They can't punish us any worse than they already have.

Mars: Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP! Giratina, destroy that Spider Rider with Hyper Beam!

[Giratina fires Hyper Beam at the Super Brown Buggy]

Simon: Braixen, Protect!

[His Braixen shields herself and the racer w/Protect, then suddenly starts to glow]

Serena: Hey, look!

Serena's Braixen: Braixen...

[Simon's Braixen evolves into a Delphox]


Delphox: Delphox!

Saturn: One of those Braixen just evolved into a Delphox!

Mars: That can't be!

Simon: Delphox...

[He looks up Delphox]

Dextette: Delphox, the Fox Pokémon, and the evolved form of Braixen. Using psychic power, it generates a fiery vortex of 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit, incinerating foes swept into this whirl of flame.

Simon: All right, Delphox! Give Giratina a taste of Shadow Ball!

[Delphox fires Shadow Ball at Giratina, hitting it hard]

Simon: Now, finish it off with Fire Blast!

[Delphox fires Fire Blast at full power at Giratina, hitting it; Giratina suffers a burn ailment and roars in pain]

Saturn: Giratina!

Jupiter: It's burning!

Simon: You have the honors, Serena.

Serena: Team Galactic, this is for Ash! Braixen, Flamethrower!

[Braixen fires Flamethrower at Giratina at full power, hitting it hard; Giratina faints and collapses toward Team Galactic]

Saturn: Take cover!

[He and Jupiter grab the dumbfounded Mars and narrowly avoid being slammed upon by the fainted Giratina]

Mars: I... I lost? To a vengeful amateur?

Jupiter: [conks Mars on the head] You're an idiot.

Alvin: All right! That's my bro! Now for Ghetsis! Charizard, Flamethrower again!

[Charizard fires Flamethrower at Hoopa, who dodges, then fires Shadow Ball at Charizard, hitting him]

Ghetsis: Did you really expect an ordinary Pokémon to take on a Legendary?

Alvin: I've beaten a couple of Legendaries before. A Darkrai and a Genesect. They were tough opponents, but I beat them both. Don't think Hoopa will be any better off. Charizard, Flare Blitz!

[Charizard strikes Hoopa w/Flare Blitz, but Hoopa furiously pushes him back]

Ghetsis: Pathetic move! Hoopa, Hyperspace Hole! FULL POWER!

[Hoopa vanishes, then reappears behind Charizard and fires a fully-powered Hyperspace Hole at Charizard, hitting him hard; Charizard hits the ground]

Ghetsis: It's all over, young man. Your Charizard is beaten. Why don't you give in and I'll spare your Charizard?

Alvin: Never! I know a sick man like you would never show mercy towards anyone! If Charizard never gave up against Darkrai, he won't give up against Hoopa!

Cynthia: [walks up to Alvin with a tiny bag] That's the attitude I'd like to hear.

Alvin: Hey, I remember you. You're Cynthia, Sinnoh League champ! What are you doing here?

Cynthia: I have a gift for you, straight from the faraway Alola Region. [hands Alvin the bag] You'll need it for this battle.

[Alvin opens the bag and extracts a Firium-Z attached to a Z-Ring]

Alvin: What is this?

Cynthia: It's a Z-Crystal. Z-Crystals have the power to upgrade certain moves called Z-Moves. The one in your new Z-Ring right now-- It's called the Firium-Z, useful for Fire-type moves. That upgraded Fire-type move is called Inferno Overdrive. But in order for it to work, you and your Pokémon's wishes must join as one. And you must strike the appropriate pose. [does so] Like this. But there's one additional drawback. It can only be used once per match. So use it wisely.

Alvin: [puts on the Z-Ring] Thanks, Cynthia. Hey, Ghetsis! You haven't won yet!

[Charizard starts to feel the essence of the Firium-Z and slowly gets back on his feet]

Ghetsis: Whatever you have in your hand there, Colress will block its frequency without problem.

Colress: Prepare yourself!

[He raises his frequency blocker]

Colress: This battle will end on our terms!

[Suddenly, an Arrow of Hope strikes his frequency blocker, knocking it off his wrist; the blocker hits the ground; the other eight Kaleido Gladiators fly into the scene]

Sora: Don't you know cheaters never prosper?

Alvin: Sora! Everyone!

Cynthia: Friends of yours?

Alvin: Mm-hmm. They're members of Kaleido Stage, and I designed their powers. They're the Kaleido Gladiators.

Cynthia: Amazing.

Colress: What gives?!

Layla: [points at the frequency blocker on the ground] You dare to disadvantage our young friends with this thingamajig? Such a gadget should not even be legal.

[She crushes the blocker to pieces with her right foot]

Colress: NO!

[Brittany's Key Stone starts glowing, as does the Blazikenite; Blaziken Mega-evolves]

Brittany: All right! Colress' device is gone! Blaziken, it's time to go all-out on Regigigas! Use High Jump Kick!

Blaziken: Blaziken!

[He charges at Regigigas and strikes it hard w/High Jump Kick; Regigigas faints]

[Blastoise and Venusaur Mega-evolve, as well]

Simon: Blastoise, use Blizzard on Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus!

[Blastoise fires Blizzard at all three of the Forces of Nature, hitting them all; all three faint]

Simon: Now, use Hydro Pump on Groudon!

[Blastoise fires Hydro Pump at Groudon, hitting it hard; Groudon faints]

Theodore: Venusaur, finish off Kyogre with Frenzy Plant!

Venusaur: Saur!

[He stomps on the ground; roots pop up from underground beneath Kyogre and strike it hard; Kyogre faints; the roots vanish]

[Alain's Charizard Mega-evolves and roars]


Alain: Charizard, finish off the Titans with Blast Burn!

Mairin: Chespie, Pin Missile!

[Alain's Charizard and Chespie fire their moves at all three Legendary Titans, hitting them hard; all three faint]

[Gardevoir Mega-evolves, as well]


Diantha: Gardevoir, take down Kyurem with Moonblast!

[Gardevoir fires Moonblast at Kyurem, hitting it hard; Kyurem faints; Metagross Mega-evolves]

[img]http://nintendonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Shiny_Mega_Metagross_withEffect.png[/img]
Steven: Metagross, use Meteor Mash on Articuno!

[Metagross strikes Articuno w/Meteor Mash; Articuno faints]

Alder: Bouffalant, use Head Charge on Zapdos!

[Bouffalant strikes Zapdos w/Head Charge; Zapdos faints]

Lance: Dragonite, use Hyper Beam on Moltres!

[Dragonite fires Hyper Beam at Moltres, hitting it hard; Moltres faints]

Brittany: Tyranitar, use your own Hyper Beam on Latios!

Jeanette: Scizor, use X-Scissor on Latias!

Eleanor: Swampert, use Hydro Pump on the Swords of Justice!

Cynthia: Garchomp, strike all three of them with Giga Impact!

[All four strike said targets w/said moves]

Theodore: Alakazam, knock Entei out with Focus Punch!

[Alakazam strikes Entei w/Focus Punch; Entei faints]

Simon: Excadrill, strike down Raikou with Drill Run!

[Excadrill does so; Raikou faints]

Simon: Electivire, send Suicune flying with Thunder Punch!

[Electivire strikes Suicune hard w/Thunder Punch; Suicune faints]

Clemont: Now for Zekrom and Reshiram! Heliolisk, use Bulldoze!

[Heliolisk stomps on the ground, sending shockwaves toward Zekrom and Reshiram, hitting them both; Zekrom and Reshiram faint]

Bonnie: Dedenne, there's only one left! Use Nuzzle on Rayquayza!

[Dedenne jumps out of Bonnie's bag and on top of Rayquayza's head, then nuzzles it; Rayquayza gets zapped, then paralyzed; Dedenne jumps onto Bonnie's shoulder]

Bonnie: It's all yours, Ash!

Ash: Thanks, Bonnie! Pikachu, Greninja, time for some teamwork!

[Pikachu and Greninja fly towards Rayquayza, who fires Hyper Beam; Pikachu jumps off Greninja's back and onto Rayquayza's head; Greninja defends itself w/Double Team; Hyper Beam only hits the fake Greninja, leaving only one Greninja: The real one]

Ash: Greninja, use Water Shuriken!

[Greninja fires Water Shuriken at Rayquayza, hitting it hard]

Ash: Okay, Pikachu! End this with Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: Pikaaaaaaaaa-- [zaps Rayquayza a great deal w/Thunderbolt] --CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

[Rayquayza roars and falls to the ground; Pikachu jumps back onto Ash's shoulders]

Ash: Nice job, buddy!

Pikachu: Pika-Pika!

[Rayquayza hits the ground and faints]

Alvin: They did it! Thanks, Gladiators. You're a big help.

[Cut back to Prescott's base]

Prescott: I don't believe it! They beat all the Legendaries! Well, it doesn't matter. They still have Hoopa, and Ghetsis can't lose. In the meantime, Argon, send out a squadron of ArgoStar Fighters to keep those Gladiators busy!

Argon: As you command!

[Cut back to Central Park; ArgoStar Fighters fly into the scene and fire at the ground; the gang narrowly dodges every blast]

Alain: What are those things?!

Brittany: Those are ArgoStar Fighters, Alain. Prescott Vorstein must've sent them! Gladiators, let's take 'em down!

Other eight Gladiators: Right!

Layla: MechaPhoenix!

Sora: MechaSwan!

Brittany: MechaDove!

All three: Deploy now!

[Said three flying machines fly into the scene; their respective Gladiators jump into the cockpits; the flying machines fire back at the ArgoStars]

Ghetsis: Seville, you'll pay for this!

Alvin: Oh, I'll give you your payment, all right. Ready, Charizard?!

[Charizard gets back on his feet and becomes enraged by Blaze; he roars ferociously]

Alvin: It's time for your so-called invincible Hoopa to witness the face of defeat!

Ghetsis: [growls] HYPERSPACE FURY!

[Hoopa charges at Charizard, but Charizard flies up to dodge]

Alvin: Time to see what this new Firium-Z can really do!

[He activates his Z-Ring and strikes the pose for Inferno Overdrive]

Alvin: With every fiber of my being, the zenith of my mind, body, and spirit, like the great Mount Vesuvius, become a raging fire and burn!!

[Charizard roars ferociously]

Alvin: Charizard, it's time to power up your Flare Blitz!

[Charizard strikes the same pose and becomes empowered; he gathers a large ball of fire]

Alvin: INFERNO OVERDRIVE!!!

[Charizard launches the ball of fire at Hoopa with all his might; Hoopa takes the hit, and the ball of fire engulfs in a massive explosion]

Ghetsis: This... can't be!

[All the other escaped convicts look on as the smoke from the explosion clears, leaving a charred Hoopa; Hoopa glares at Charizard and is about to make one last move, when suddenly, it suffers from its burn ailment and slowly faints, then reverts to its original form upon hitting the ground]

Ghetsis: NO!!!!!

Colress: How can this be?! A whole swarm of Legendary Pokémon-- Defeated by pathetic weaklings?!

[Charizard roars and fires a triumphant Flamethrower; Alvin pumps his fist into the air and jumps up]

Alvin: WE DID IT!!

[The gang cheers]

Cynthia: Congratulations, Alvin.

[The defeated Legendaries all get sucked back into the portals; the portals vanish]

[Cut back to the fight between the Navy Caesar and the Battle Beetle; the Caesar slices the Battle Beetle's right arm off w/the Xenon Blade]

Hunter: Your army's defeated, Hammond, and you're next! Xenon Blade!

Hunter and Shadow: FINAL STRIKE!

[The Xenon Blade glows; with one final swing, the Navy Caesar strikes the Battle Beetle hard with it; the Battle Beetle hits the ground hard]

Hammond: Just because my army's down doesn't mean I am! ArgoStars, combine with my Battle Beetle!

[The ArgoStars combine to form a demonic robotic right arm that attaches to the Battle Beetle]

Hammond: Now that he's working for Prescott again, Argon has the power to fuse his ArgoStars with his robots to restore and expand their powers!

[The Battle Beetle gets back on its feet and fires a burst of flames from its new arm at the gang's machines, hitting them]

Hunter: Guys, let's bring the Super Spider Racers together!

Corona: My thoughts exactly, Hunter.

All seven riders: Unite!

Voice: Super Spider Racers, combine!

[The Super Spider Racers combine:
The Super Red Rover transforms into a right arm
The Super Violet Viper transforms into a left arm
The Super Brown Buggy and Super Teal Trailblazer form a right leg
The Super Ivory Ignition and Super Mini Motor form a left leg
The Navy Caesar retracts its arms and legs and joins with the other racers; its head transforms]

Voice: Spider Caesar, ready!

Alvin: [looks up at the Spider Caesar] So cool!

Sora: The Spider Riders have a new machine now?

Layla: It's amazing!

Brittany: Best machine I've seen out of their arsenal.

[The Spider Caesar gains the Xenon Blade and faces the Battle Beetle]

Hammond: You fools! Prescott paid me good money for breaking those PokéPerps out of jail, and after I bought this Battle Beetle from Savage, Prescott was gonna pay me big-time to help 'em bring you down with a mass of Legendary Pokémon, but you guys have to come and take it all away from me!

[The Battle Beetle charges at the Spider Caesar and strikes it, but the Spider Caesar is not even left with so much as a dent]

Alvin: Not even a scratch. Dagger, it's time to go Super!

Dagger: Right!

Alvin: Arachna Super Power!

[He and Dagger combine]

Alvin: Super Spider Rider!

Dagger: Charizard, fly us to the Battle Beetle's cockpit!

[Alvin jumps onto Charizard's back; they soar toward the cockpit in the Battle Beetle's head]

Alvin: Guys, I'm gonna draw Hammond out of the cockpit and leave you to destroy it!

Hunter: Go get him, Alvin!

[Charizard reaches the windshield of the Battle Beetle]

Alvin: Charizard, Flamethrower!

[Charizard fires Flamethrower at the windshield, burning a hole through it; Alvin jumps into the cockpit and faces Hammond]

Hammond: How dare you! You should know better than to barge in without knocking, kid!

Alvin: Deacon Hammond, you're under arrest for arson, assault on ACME Crime Net, aiding an escape, harboring escaped convicts, and endangering the public at large. You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right, anything you say can be used against you. You're already aware of your right to an attorney. Do you have anything to say?

Hammond: Damn you, Seville! [presses the auto-pilot button] Auto-pilot, engage!

Alvin: [his blade appears] Don't think so!

[He impales the controls with his blade, disabling auto-pilot]

Hammond: Red Rapier!

[He whips out his rapier; he and Alvin jump out of the Battle Beetle and land on the ground, then fight w/their weapons]

Alvin: Destroy it now!

[Cut back to Prescott's base]

Prescott: Fool. Argon, take control of that Battle Beetle!

Argon: Easily done, sir.

[His third eye glows; back at Central Park, the Battle Beetle becomes surrounded by demonic aura and fights the Spider Caesar; it fires a blast of flames from its new right arm at the Spider Caesar; the Spider Caesar takes the hit, but not even a scratch is made]

Hunter: How on Earth did that thing move by itself, even though Alvin got its pilot out?

Shadow: Argon must be controlling it!

Corona: But just because he's controlling it doesn't mean it's any stronger than when Hammond controlled it. That last blast didn't even scratch the Spider Caesar.

[Cut to the MechaDove's cockpit]

Brittany: You're right about that, Corona. Gladiators, form the Jet Borg!

Layla and Sora: Roger!

[Outside, the flying machines combine to form the Jet Borg]

Sora, Layla, and Brittany: Photon Magnum!

[The Jet Borg fires a blast of white energy at the Battle Beetle, hitting it]

Sora, Layla, and Brittany: Six-Wing Flash!

[Each of the Jet Borg's wings glow and fire a flash of colorful and powerful energy at the Battle Beetle, hitting it hard]

Sora: It's all yours, Spider Riders!

[Cut to the Spider Caesar's cockpit]

Aqune: Thanks, Sora! Okay, Hunter. Let's finish it off, then help Alvin against Hammond.

Hunter: Right. Xenon Blade!

[Outside, the Xenon Blade glows brightly, as do the Spider Caesar's eyes; the Battle Beetle charges at it]

Hunter: Xenon Blade!

All Spider Riders and Battle Spiders: FINAL STRIKE!!

[The Spider Caesar strikes the Battle Beetle w/the Xenon Blade; the Battle Beetle gets electrocuted, falls to the ground, and an explosion is shown; the Spider Riders jump out of the Spider Caesar's cockpit, then join Alvin]

Alvin: Way to go, guys! Now, let's finish off Hammond!

[He whacks Hammond w/his blade]

Hammond: I paid good money for that Battle Beetle! I'll make you all pay!

[He fires his magma cannons at the Super Spider Riders, but Greninja intercepts w/Water Shuriken, diminishing the magma]

Hammond: Damn it all, Ketchum!

[The rest of the gang (including all nine Gladiators) joins the Spider Riders]

Cynthia: I wouldn't use that language in front of a kid if I were you.

Ash: So you broke Ghetsis and the others out of jail, huh? The Legendary Pokémon outbreak-- It's all on you!

Hammond: No, it wasn't. It was all Prescott's idea. He hired me.

Diantha: But your greed led you to do his bidding.

Alder: Such a thing mustn't go unpunished.

Steven: Are you ready to surrender?

Lance: Or are you willing to be your stubborn old self and fight on?

Hammond: [charges at the gang w/his rapier] DIE, ALL OF YOU!!!

[Suddenly, he stops and groans, dropping his rapier, which vanishes; he collapses]

Alvin: What just happened?

[Mia runs up to Hammond's body and checks for a pulse]

Mia: He's got no pulse!

Venus: My Spider Scope analysis shows his vital signs are flatlining.

Corona: What? You mean--?

Ash: He's... dead?

Venus: Overusing that Demon Gear must've killed him.

Serena: What a way to close my last case-- The prime suspect dying.

Ash: Hey, at least we won.

Serena: Yeah.

Spider Riders: Rider out!

Gladiators: Gladiator out!

[They revert to normal]

[Squad cars enter the scene and apprehend Team Plasma, Galactic, Magma, and Aqua; paramedics take Hammond away in a body bag]

Alain: Well, as far as I'm concerned, Hammond got off easy. I can only imagine how much pain he would've suffered in prison if he lived, even moreso than those guys over there will.

Alvin: That'd better be the last we see of them, anyway. Especiallty Ghetsis. He was such a sick old man.

Ash: Are you kidding, Al? Mars of Team Galactic was a complete witch, avenging her fallen boss, despite his devious actions.

Pikachu: [nods] Pika-Pika.

[Alvin grabs Hoopa's Dusk Ball and recalls Hoopa]

Alvin: We gotta get Hoopa to HQ to recuperate.

Hunter: Let's go, guys.

[Back at Prescott's base, Prescott shuts off the transmission]

Prescott: Rawlings, you impudent fool. All your hard work training Ghetsis and the others was for nothing.

Rawlings: I didn't expect Pokémon League Champions from other regions showing up, sir. But it was Hammond's fault. He broke those guys out, didn't he?

Prescott: But he's dead, and you're all that's left to blame for this failure.

[Unknown to any of them, Owen looks on from his office, then goes back inside and shuts the door]

Owen: Hammond didn't deserve that. Prescott Vorstein, I swear, one day, you'll pay for this.

[ACME Crime Net Cafeteria, 12:11pm]

[The gang and their guests have a party with Greg, Tyler, and the Chief; there is a banner on the wall: "We'll miss you, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie!"]

Greg: Another perp dead at the hands of Prescott Vorstein.

Tyler: I can't believe he created life-threatening Demon Gear.

Chief: Not that he didn't deserve it, but what happened to Hammond was too cruel.

Ash: Yeah, it's a shame. So, what's gonna happen to Hoopa?

Tyler: It's gonna make a full recovery, and we've also confiscated the Prison Bottle from Ghetsis. Its memories of its time with Prescott and the whole encounter today have been erased, and Looker's gonna have it sent back to wherever it came from. And all the Legendary Pokémon Hoopa unleashed-- They have no memories of the battle.

Ash: Good news. That way, Prescott can never get his hands on it again.

Serena: It's too bad the three of us won't be there when you finally catch Prescott.

Clemont: I'm really gonna miss this place.

Bonnie: Me, too.

Sora: You're leaving?

Serena: We'd already put in our papers earlier today, and now that this case is over, we can leave.

Layla: What about Ash?

Ash: I'm staying. I'm not ready to leave yet.

Rosetta: But we really had a lot of fun with you around. Are you sure you wanna go?

Serena: Positive. But you never can tell. We might come back eventually.

Clemont: And just because we're leaving doesn't mean we're not part of ACME anymore.

Bonnie: And we'll always be friends.

Alvin: Anytime you wanna come back, Ash's office has plenty of desk space.

Serena: Thank you, Alvin.

Greg: Now, before I forget, I'd like to propose a toast to our guests for their valiant efforts in the battle against the enemy today. Cynthia, Diantha, Lance, Alder, Steven, Alain, Mairin, thank you for everything. You and all your Pokémon. Cheers.

Everyone else: [raise their glasses] Cheers!

Cynthia: Thank you, Captain Lee.

Greg: At this time, Ash would like to propose another toast for us. Ash?

Ash: [stands up] First off, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, you've been a great credit to ACME Crime Net. We're all gonna miss you while you're gone. You wouldn't be the first of my group to leave us. I remember what I had to go through when Misty, Brock, May, Max, Dawn, Iris, and Cilan left. Serena, I hope your new career in Pokémon Contests goes well. And if you ever happen to meet up with May or Dawn, tell them Ash says hi. Clemont, take good care of the Lumiose Gym, and make sure you and your Pokémon play fair. And, Bonnie, listen your brother.

Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie: Thank you, Ash.

Ash: To my friends from Kalos. We'll miss them a lot.

Pikachu: Pika.

All: [raise their glasses] Cheers!

[Later that evening, Ash's group and their guests are about to leave; Clemont's Aipom Arm carries boxes of belongings from Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie's desks; several SUVs approach; the rest of the gang is there to see them off]

Ash: There's our Ubers. You guys cleaned out your desks?

Clemont: Everything, Ash.

Bonnie: But it was pretty heavy.

Serena: It's been a slice, guys.

[She and Brittany embrace]

Brittany: Take care of yourself, Serena. Tell your mom we said hi.

Serena: Will do, Brittany.

[Simon and Clemont shake hands]

Clemont: If you have any inventions in mind, I'd be happy to exchange some tinkering tips.

Simon: You got it, Clemont.

[Bonnie hugs Theodore]

Bonnie: Be good while we're gone, okay, Theodore?

Theodore: I promise, Bonnie. And by the way, take it easy on this matchmaking thing. You know how your brother gets.

Bonnie: Anything you say.

[Alvin hands Alain, Mairin, and the Pokémon League Champions each an honorary ACME Crime Net badge]

Alvin: Here you go, guys. Honorary ACME Crime Net badges. We could never have solved this case without you.

Alain: Thank you, Alvin. I hope we meet up again soon.

[He and Alvin shake hands]

Cynthia: Remember, Alvin, even though you were able to master your first Z-Crystal, you've still got a lot to learn about them. You and the rest of ACME.

Alvin: I know, Cynthia.

Diantha: But we have faith that you can save the world from Prescott Vorstein.

Alvin: Thanks, Diantha. Until we meet again.

[He shakes hands with each champion, then turns to Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie]

Alvin: I really hate to see you guys go, but I know you have to. Promise me you won't forget us.

Serena: It's a promise, Alvin.

[She and Alvin embrace]

Alvin: Now, go on. Your flight's waiting.

[Ash's group and the guests enter the cars]

Ash: I'll call when we land, okay?

Greg: You got it, Ash.

[The car doors are shut, and the cars take off for JFK; the gang waves goodbye]

[Inside one of the cars, Ash starts to doze off; Pikachu taps him on the shoulder]

Pikachu: Pika-Pi?

Serena: He must be tired after that long battle.

[She notices that Clemont and Bonnie are chattering in the back seats, unable to notice; Serena smiles, then plants a kiss on the sleeping Ash's nose]

Serena: [in her mind] This isn't goodbye. It never will be.

[FINAL NOTE:
Following the death of Deacon Hammond, his case was marked "closed".
The escaped convicts were all remanded without bail and later tried and convicted of the following charges:
Escape in the first degree
Criminal tampering in the first degree
Attempted murder in the first degree
Endangering the welfare of a minor
Reckless endangerment in the first degree
Their Pokémon licenses were permanently revoked, and they were sent back to prison and are serving life sentences without possibility of parole in separate super-maximum security facilities, all denied any contact]


[Clips from the next side-fic are shown]

Argon: I give you our newest demon: Hopperfiend! Half-demon, half-grasshopper!

Hopperfiend: Time to hop to it!

Hunter: Next time on ACME Crime Net: The Spider Caesar.

Corona: Vigilance, dedication, courage! Feels great to say it myself, doesn't it?
