15 War? Fisherman!
Two airwaves strike Aron's body, knocking it back to the ground as it struggles to get back up. A power suddenly locks Aron's body and shakes his mind.
Normally, this level of attack would do nothing, but the pain coursing through its body makes it susceptible. Falling into confusion, Aron rams into the wall of the cavern and knocks itself out.
Seeing this, Roy takes out a friend ball and throws it across the cave. The ball falls onto Aron and sucks it into the ball. After shaking three times the ball finally clicks.
"Ralts bring the ball to me please." Turning his attention, he looks at Zubat fluttering through the air dodging Beldum's Takedowns.
[Ok leave it to me.]
After colliding with the walls a few more times and a couple of Astonishes and Vacuum Waves later, the four Beldum collapse. Taking out four more friend balls, he lobs them towards the four best Beldum.
Catching the ball brought back by Ralts, he clicks it to his belt. At this time, all four balls have successfully caught the Beldum.
After Ralts floats all four balls to his hand he takes another look at the Pawniard fighting each other and the few other Aron.
"If these Beldum weren't here I'd consider catching a Pawniard. It takes four Beldum to evolve into a Metagross, so taking the other two can't help me." Hesitating for a moment, he takes two normal pokeballs and catches the other two Beldum.
With seven new balls attached to his belt, he is starting to run out of room. Turning towards his Pokemon he sees they are in high spirits.
"Let's get out of here guys." Turning around they move back up the tunnel.
"Good job guys, it's a lot easier if we have the type advantage. Aron couldn't even stand up to your Vacuum Wave." Reaching down he pats Riolu's shoulder.
"Rio rio!" Riolu lifts his arms and flexes slightly, copying a pose he saw in a movie.
"Zubat, nice job, without you we couldn't have pulled that off."
"Za za!" Zubat flutters around happily and seems to be smiling, but it's hard to tell.
"With Ditto and Ralts it helped tidy up the situation quickly, now we have new members on our team." Smiling broadly, his good mood is unable to be hidden. Even if he does nothing else, this whole trip is already worth it.
When he thinks of all the new partners he can't help feeling distressed. "There should be more decent pokemon in this Secret Realm, and this one seems like a small one. Those families and organizations that can privately own a large Secret Realm must have good pokemon. I can't take care of them all on my own." Shaking his head he releases a long sigh.
Riolu, Ralts, and Ditto in the shape of Ralts can feel Roy's swaying emotions. Looking at Roy with concern, they don't know what is wrong.
"Let's go back, I want to see what this war is all about." After patting his Pokemon, they begin heading back the way they came.
Following the same path, they notice that the Gligar is gone. Paying it no mind, they continue moving. After walking for a few dozen minutes, a spectacular scene comes into view.
Dozens of Carkol, Graveler, and Boldore are standing in front of a hundred-plus rock and ground Pokemon. A giant Onix nearly forty feet long stands at the forefront of the entire army.
Seeing this Onix reminds Roy of a Totem Pokemon from its sheer size.
"Is this the Onix that's been eating all the metal?" Turning his eyes, he looks at what the rock and ground Pokemon are facing.
On the other side, coming up from the forest are hundreds of bug pokemon. The vibration of their wings sounds like a thunderstorm as they fly forward. Beedrill, Butterfree, Dustox, Beautifly, Vivillon, Leavanny, Ariados, Parasect, and all their pre-evolutions and other bugs.
At the head of the army of bug pokemon is a nearly six-foot-tall Vespiquen surrounded by a cloud of Combee.

Roy and his Pokemon sit back as they see that war is on the verge.
"Vezzzzz!!" A loud buzz fills the battlefield as Vespiquen points forward. A red glow surrounds the Combee and they rush forward without regard.
Onix's body twists to the side and lifts its tail into the air. Slamming it down hard, large stones fly towards the insect army.
With the two leaders launching their attacks, it signals the start of the war.
Each of these boulders is the size of an adult man's head. Seeing the destructive power of a senior pokemon causes Roy's eyes to widen.
A powerful psychic wave erupts on the insect's side and all the boulders pause in the air before being ejected back towards the rock and ground pokemon.
Seeing such a psychic display from bug pokemon lets him know how ridiculously weak his attacks have been.
With the first attack launched, boulders begin flying through the air and signal beams cut through them.
The rock pokemon roll forward, knocking down anything in their way while the ground pokemon try and use any ranged attack they can.
A thick powder soon fills the air as the bugs flap their wings, trying to poison and put to sleep anyone they can. The few bug pokemon good in melee combat like Leavanny, Scyther, Pincer, and Heracross lead the charge.
Vespiquen flies straight towards Onix. Twelve glowing gems appear around her before shooting towards Onix like laser beams.
All twelve lights crash into Onix leaving small pits in his body. "Araaaaaa!" Onix roars towards Vespiquen and gathers an orange light in its mouth.
Shooting it out, it flies directly towards Vespiquen.
Seeing the oncoming attack, she flaps her wings and easily dodges to the side, but at that moment the ball explodes sending shards of rocks flying in all directions like a grenade.
The force sends Vespiquen crashing to the ground in the middle of the battlefield. Before she can get back up, she hears Onix scream again.
Sand begins whirling around her, trapping her on the ground and pelting her with small rocks.
Onix slides towards Vespiquen and slams its tail into the ground. Rocks begin materializing around Onix and shooting towards Vespiquen like bullets.
"Vezzzzz!" Vespiquen screams as she is pelted by the rocks. With her defense, she is able to remain conscience from the assault of a super-effective move but the pain overwhelms her.
A red energy bursts from her body, destroying the sand tomb and enveloping onix.
The energy fades and reveals a scared Vespiquen and Onix that just took a massive Struggle Bug.
Suddenly, small grubs fly from under Vespiquen's skirt and begin healing her at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Raaaaa!" Onix yells as he sees this scene, remembering this is the same reason he lost last time. She has the ability to heal her wounds while he will become more damaged over time. "Raahahaaa!" Onix lifts his head and roars into the sky unwillingly.
Looking back down, he charges at Vespiquen and wraps his body around her to prevent her from lifting off further.
Twelve more jewels appear around Vespiquen and begin pelting Onix once more.
Hearing Onix's roar, the battlefield suddenly changes. The rock pokemon become desperate, pushing themselves into the ranks of the bug pokemon. The ground pokemon tries their best to push the bug pokemon towards the rock.
Roy's brows furrow as he sees this scene. "Have the rock and ground pokemon given up? This strategy seems strange."
"Rio!" Riolu squints its eyes and looks carefully at the battle. This fight has ignited his fighting spirit deep down inside.
All of a sudden, Onix and the rock pokemon begin glowing pure white. Before anyone can respond, Onix explodes, followed by the next pokemon into a serial explosion.
First, a defining noise hits Roy, then the dirt and dust sweeps over them. When he finally regains vision, he sees hundreds of pokemon lying on the ground.
"Gathering all the energy in your body and expelling it all out in a violent attack, Self Destruct and Explosion. Why are you so desperate?" Shaking his head he moves from behind the rock.
"Common guys, let's go see."
"Rio." Riolu jumps ahead and leads the way forward.
Following Riolu, they make their way towards the biggest crater created by Onix. Inside the crater, Onix lies on its side with its eyes closed and Vespiquen next to him. Its outer rocky surface is filled with cracks and Vespiquen looks like grim.
Thinking for a moment, he takes out two friend balls and drops them onto the two. Both are sucked into the ball and it immediately clicks, proving they have no room to struggle.
[Vespiquin carries the Realm Core is it taken?]
Suddenly, the system he thought was dead randomly sounds in his head. [Yes] From the name itself it sounds like a good thing, so he takes it without hesitation.
[Realm Core Acquired, Sub Secret Realm acquired.] Information pours into Roy's head all at once. Taking a deep breath he can't stop the smile from creeping up his face.
"Ralts, please."
[Roy are you ok? Your mood is altering a lot] floating the two pokeballs into Roy's hands she can't help looking at him curiously.
Even Riolu and Ditto looks at Roy curiously.
"I'm fine guys." Looking at his Pokemon worry about him brings a smile to his face. "Zubat you can go back into your Pokeball, I know the sun is bothering you. It's safe now."
"Za za za!" Zubat flutters around when she hears it's safe and can relax.
Taking out her ball, he retracts her inside and clips all three balls to his belt.
Moving towards the pile of knocked out pokemon he can't help feel emotional, some are worse off than others and may never recover.
Looking around he tries to see if there's a pokemon that fits his original needs. After searching he finally found one.

Taking out a regular Pokeball, he taps it on her head. Because she wasn't at the center of an explosion, it shakes a few times before clicking.
Moving around, he finds two more pokemon that fit his next plan.
