Ch.72

Professor Kukui came back to his home, where we explained what was happening. Then he and his wife quickly started up their equipment and ran some tests of the islands. There were three readings they found where they could all appear or each individually appear. One at the Ruins of Life, one at the Ruins of Hope, and one at the Ruins of Abundance. 

"Which one has the strongest signature?" I ask since that might be the one that Necrozma is appearing from. 

"They all appear equal… I'm sorry, we're not sure where they are going to appear," Professor Kukui says while looking at their equipment. 

I then closed my eyes and felt the energies around the islands. After a few moments, I felt the strongest actually appear in front of the Aether Paradise. Aether Paradise is a very large floating structure that serves as an artificial island located in the middle of the Alola region, near Akala Island. It was created by the Aether Foundation to serve as a base for their research.

"Call Aether Paradise and tell them they are about to be attacked by an ancient and powerful Pokémon," I say to the two Professors before running outside and bringing Yveltal out to fly me there. 

Yveltal quickly flies there covering the short distance in seconds, I then jump off of them landing on the platform of Aether Paradise. I then brought out Milotic who landed in the ocean, along with Gardevoir standing next to me and Annihilape in my shadow as usual. Right after my team appeared, a rift was ripped open using immense psychic power, and appearing was Necrozma. 

Necrozma is a vaguely humanoid Pokémon whose body appears to be constructed out of black crystalline material. The large protrusion attached to its head is its tail, which has a row of three large spikes along the top and is white in the back with a dark gray symbol resembling a star in the center. Its face is a prism-like object known as the brain prism, which possesses a collection of multicolored shapes that resemble eyes. While absorbing light, this brain prism glows white. Its thin arms have disproportionately large hands with three claws. Jutting out of the back of each hand is a whitish crystal that darkens toward the tip, and each elbow has a hook-like spike. Two large spikes jut from each shoulder and there is a row of smaller spikes along each side of its body. Its feet have three hook-like toes each.

As soon as Necrozma appeared it let out a screech of anger due to it possibly being locked away for so long. The strength of Necrozma appeared to be equal to Yveltal and the two Pokémon made eye contact before charging at one another. However, Yveltal was the perfect counter to Necrozma. 

Just as Yveltal and Necrozma begin their clash, Solgaleo and Lunala appear. Then Necrozma commands them to help in attacking Yveltal, quickly turning the tables. However, I have Milotic and Gardevoir join in to assist Yveltal. The battle becomes a stalemate, so I have Annihilape join as well. 

As my four team members are fighting together to subdue the three legendary Pokémon, I feel a presence appear behind me. That if not for my recent spike in power, I would have not sensed it before. I quickly form an invisible shield around me much like the move Protect. 

I turn to see a Pokémon that resembles a jellyfish. The bell is semi-translucent and encircled with several white, star-shaped markings. The wavy rim of the bell flares outward and is bright blue. Its tentacles appear gelatinous and give it a vaguely humanoid shape. Several tentacles mesh together forming the appearance of a cape or long hair, while four shorter tentacles resemble shorter hair and arms. Two long tentacles make up the legs of the human shape.

The Pokémon which I now recognize as Nihilego, tried to attach itself to me to control me. However, I was able to stop it in time instead Nihilego quickly began to run away seeing it fail its attempt. I decided to use my powers to lock Nihilego in place keeping it from moving as I focused back on the battle before me. 

Then I see Necrozma hiding behind both Solgaleo and Lunala who are now worse for ware looking very injured. Necrozma then releases an exploding light outward of itself and a second after the light appeared, Necrozma changed into its Ultra form. 

Ultra Necrozma is a colossal dragon mostly composed of pure light energy that it had stored from a great energy source, such as Solgaleo or Lunala, before its transformation. This body of light is supported by a sort of skeleton made from the various pieces of Necrozma's crystalline body; these pieces take on a golden glow from the light, but they return to black without it. Its head is surrounded by several spikes and a pair of small wings, which causes it to resemble an eight-pointed star; there is also a small, lighter eight-pointed star on the back of its head. Its face is armored and has multicolored heterochromatic eyes; the left eye is primarily red, while the right is mainly blue. It has two pairs of wings: one around its shoulders and one around its hips. While the wings themselves are made of light, the arm portions are made of their former legs and shoulders, respectively. Its former arms now cover its lower legs, and what was once its tail covers its chest. Finally, it has a long tail with a row of spikes along the top.

Necrozma is at its full power in this form, radiating energy that has all sorts of effects on living beings and even nature itself. Its body temperature exceeds 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,540 degrees Celsius); anything that it touches will melt from the extreme heat. It can fire laser beams from every part of its body, and these lasers can reach over 18 miles away, burning through everything in its path. While swinging its four wings around, Ultra Necrozma uses its superheated claws to tear its opponents to shreds. In this form, it is known as the 'blinding one' due to its brilliant appearance. 

'Shit!' I think feeling it now surpasses even Yveltal in power in this form. 

Also at this point, I can see the people inside the building looking on in awe. While some appear to be filming this. I then bring out Mamoswine and Leo to join as well, though they can only do so much from this distance and because we are over an ocean. 

"We need to take down the others first, Yveltal, Annihilape, keep Necrozma distracted as long as you can. Everyone else focus on taking down Solgaleo and Lunala," I shout as Annihilape jumps onto Yveltal's back to help fight Necrozma. 

Leo squares up with Solgaleo as both roar in challenge to one another. Both appear to be equal in power, however, Leo has the upper hand in type effectiveness. Leo then runs on the water, using his speed to keep himself from sinking. 

As Leo is fighting Solgaleo, everyone else is focused on Lunala. The battle feels like hours since all this chaos is happening. Then finally Leo brings down Solgaleo having only suffered a bit of damage. Then Leo rushes over to assist Yveltal and Annihilape who are now decently injured, Annihilape more than Yveltal. 

I toss out a Poké ball to temporarily catch Solgaleo, who I will release afterward. Since I don't necessarily want on my team, plus they are symbols of this region people would be very upset if I took them. And after releasing them, we might become friendly for them to help me later if I need them. 

The Poké ball shakes a few times, looking like it is going to break, but ends up capturing Solgaleo. Unlike the games or anime, if a Pokémon goes unconscious you're guaranteed to be able to catch them regardless of the type of Poké ball you use. Then a few seconds after Solgaleo fell, Lunala fell next, with me sending a Poké ball for them as well. 

Now my whole team focused on Necrozma, who was being slowly pushed back by the combined efforts of my team. Yveltal acts as the tank, with Leo and Annihilape acting as the front-line fighters. Mamoswine, Milotic, and Gardevoir the support. After a few more minutes, Necrozma's ultra form slowly dimmed before collapsing into itself. 

Then Necrozma's normal form appeared while looking ready to collapse. However, my team stopped at my command since I wanted to talk with Necrozma first. Necrozma looked at me with tired and angry eyes while their body had cracks all over them. 

"I didn't want to fight to begin with… I only wanted to talk. Though we should do that somewhere else," I say seeing the people all watching from the windows. 

Necrozma narrows their eyes before nodding their head slowly. I then withdrew my team except for Yveltal who I fly on the back of and Annihilape who goes back into my shadow. I also toss a Poké ball at Nihilego catching it before we leave. 

We fly away from the man-made floating island, to a small island that is uninhabited a few dozen miles south of us. There we land with Necrozma landing heavily looking ready to collapse. I already healed up my team bringing them all back out, before walking over to Necrozma and healing them as my team was ready to attack them at a moment's notice. 

"Thank you…" Necrozma says to me with a voice that sounds like a robot with an AI voice. 

"I apologize for attacking right away… after seeing you and Yveltal, I assumed you were there to relock me in that dimension which took me centuries to break out of," Necrozma says to me as I dismiss his apology. 

"It's fine, I can understand the misunderstanding… Though I wanted to speak to you about having been trapped," I say to them as Necrozma looks at me with narrowed eyes again. 

"What about it?" Necrozma says giving me a hard look. 

"How do you feel about Arceus and Giratina?" I say to them as their eyes widen hearing me. 

"I see… you are marked by Giratina… Hahahahaha!" Necrozma says to me with piercing eyes before laughing in that horrible-sounding voice. 

"Yes… we are allies. Are you interested in joining our plan?" I say as Necrozma goes silent for a few moments. 

"Let me speak with Giratina, please," Necrozma says and I nod my head connecting the two by using my mind as a bridge between them. 

'What makes you think you can defeat Arceus this time?' Necrozma says to Giratina when they connect. 

'My allies this time are much more capable than last time. Plus we already have a few of the others on our side now… With you and the two others we will be that much closer to winning,' Giratina says while Necrozma goes quiet for a bit. 

'Very well, I will join your cause. It was because of Arceus's last champion I was locked away anyway. Revenge would be nice,' Necrozma says with an excited voice now. 

'Good, then give something to my friend to call upon you when the time comes. Oh and give him something for his Gardevoir to break into our ranks,' Giratina says as the connection breaks and Necrozma looks much happier now thinking about the revenge I assume. 

"This will be a very exciting few years… I will have to go in hiding though since Arceus will be looking this way soon. Careful you don't catch their eye yet and take this," Necrozma says to me and then breaks off a piece of their body before handing it to me along with a small crystal they made of pure light. 

"This will allow Gardevoir, to increase her potential to become a true fighter in the war to come. And that crystal for you to call on my help any time," Necrozma says before quickly ripping open another portal and disappearing inside it.
