Chapter 26: Goodbye 5th Generation, Farewell to all
Air rushed past Jason out the torn hallway as Regigigas and Metagross worked together to seal off the newly made exit. Regigigas used it immense strength to bend the steel of the hallways inward and make the hole smaller while Metagross did the same. Jason crouched down in a nook to avoid being sucked out into space and suffer a horrifying death. He was feeling light headed, but the air pressure inside the Space Station was slowly stabilizing so he knew he’d make it. Then he heard footsteps and saw two creatures approaching. One with a body made of lava and the other made of clear blue liquid.
Jason (thinking): Oh no, Xero’s prototype Pokèmon. Volcanoid and Liquoid. What now?
Meanwhile, back at the Life Force chamber all the other trainers on board tried to continue their battle with Xero. The Space Station had lost all its electrical power so all the lights had turned off. Since the window didn’t have the sun anywhere in view it was pitch black inside the chamber. The only light they had came from the screens of their PRi’s and cell phones.
Shade: “Luxray, come on out and use Flash!” In the pitch black darkness the bright flash from the Luxray’s summon nearly blinded anyone who looked directly at it.
Luxray: “Lux. Lux-raaaaaaaaaayyyy!” Luxray glowed white and then light expanded from Luxray’s body and it generated enough light for everyone to see the lower level of the chamber but the ceiling was still dark. Luxray’s Flash probably had the range of a common street light.
Chase: “Didn’t think an emo guy like you Shade would carry a Pokèmon that knows Flash.”
Shade: “Shut up.” Everyone heard Salamance and Nidoking cry out. They all looked out and saw that they were avoiding more energy blasts from Arceus X’s Judgement attack. The 13 remaining plates were all glowing and firing even more Judgement spheres.
Gwen: “I need some cover boys. Gardevoir, use Thunderbolt on all of the plates!”
Chase: “Nidoking, use Sludge Bomb!”
Lucas: “Gallade, Psycho Cut!”
Shade: “Darkrai, use Dark Pulse!”
AJ: “Salamance, Draco Meteor!” The boys’ Pokémon teamed up and fired an array of sludge blobs, orange and blue meteors, blades of psychic energy, and a stream of dark energy to intercept all of the 13 Judgment spheres. Then Gardevoir floated toward Arceus X who was still in the ???-type form. Gardevoir looked at the ugly lime green arches attached to Arceus’ body and the 13 remaining plates. Then its body sparked with electricity and it let loose the Thunderbolt.
Arceus X: “Ah, you pests. I… cannot…” The Splash and Sky plates cracked as Arceus X tried to fight off its pain. “…lose to you like this.” Suddenly Lucas’ Gallade appeared on Arceus’ back with its left blade arm glowing green. Gallade had its eyes locked onto the cracked Splash Plate.
Lucas: “Let him have it Gallade! Use Leaf Blade!” Gallade jumped up and then swung its left arm down diagonally and it cut right through the Splash Plate. The two pieces of the plate then cracked apart even more and then shattered. Gallade Teleported away before Arceus X had a chance to try to attack it.
Arceus X: “Oh, this can’t be happening.” Suddenly the ugly colors of the ???-type form began to fade and for a second, everyone saw Arceus’ normal colors return and then changed back to the ???-type form.
Vik: “Scizor, X-Scissor on the Meadow Plate!”
Chase: “Nidoking, team up with Scizor and use Fire Blast on the same Plate!” Arceus X looked up and saw a Shiny Scizor flying at it with its claws glowing with a bright green light while a Nidoking behing it had an opened mouth with flames bursting out. Arceus X then formed pink and purple energy swirls around Nidoking.
Arceus X: “You fools haven’t won yet! Spacial Rend!” Scizor managed to fly in and slice the Meadow Plate, leaving two huge slanted clacked in the plate along with the other cracks from the Sludge Bomb attack earlier. However, just before Nidoking unleashed its Fire Blast it was consumed by the Spacial Rend and disappeared in the swirl of energy. Scizor then floated above Arceus X and the remaining 12 plates and looked around wondering where Nidoking went. Krystal’s shiny Lucario seemed to sense something and then used Extreme Speed to move quickly through space, grab Scizor, and then pull it away as a portal from Spacial Rend appeared with Fire Blast coming out. The Fire Blast would’ve hit Scizor if Lucario hadn’t rescued it.
Vik: “Dude, that was a close call. Thanks Krystal and Lucario.” Krystal just brushed her bangs to one side and gave Vik a thumbs up while Chatot spoke for her.
Chatot: “You’re welcome Rick.”
Gwen: “Gardevoir, use Psychic to take control of Nidoking’s Fire Blast and send it towards the plates.” Gwen’s Gardevoir used its psychic powers to freeze the Fire Blast and then split it into three fireballs. The fireballs then flew and struck the Icicle, Meadow, and Insect plates. Arceus X graoned and then stared straight at Gardevoir.
Arceus X: “No chance! You hear me? You all have NO CHANCE TO WIN!” After yelling at Gardevoir Arceus X used the Dread Plate to change into its Dark Type form and fired five balls of Judgment. The five black energy balls flew at high speeds and hit Gardevoir with explosive results.
Gwen: “Gardevoir, no!” Gardevoir fell and hit the space station. The space station itself was floating downward and away from the battle.
Shade: “That slime ball. Picking on Gardevoir’s weakness is absurd. Darkrai, fire an Ice Beam at the Draco Plate!” Shade’s shiny Darkrai flew in and charged blue energy in its hands. Then Arceus X looked on and saw it coming. Then it used the cracked fist plate to change into the fighting form.
Arceus X: “No mercy, Shade.”
Shade: “Just the way I like it.” Suddenly Vik’s shiny Scizor flew in with white energy streaks around its body.
Arceus X: “Aerial Ace?” Scizor charged at high speed into the Fist plate and shattered it. Arceus X lost his concentration and reverted back into Arceus’ normal form. Then Darkrai fired the Ice Beam from its hands and shot the Draco Plate. Arceus X seemed to tumble over and slumped in the air. His forelegs stretched out in the vastness of space and the remaining nine plates began to fade. Inside the space station the trainers began cheering for their Pokémon.
Brad: “Alright. This is working. Skarmory Brave Bird on the Insect Plate!”
Vik: “Scizor, team up and use Aerial Ace on the Meadow Plate!” Scizor was floating above Arceus X from using the last Aerial Ace. It dived down toward the Meadow plate with the white energy streaks surrounding it again. Brad’s shiny Skarmory then flew in with a blue fiery aura surrounding it. Both closed in on Arceus X and its plates.
Arceus X: “This same tactic again. You trainers need better strategy.” With that Arceus X used Spacial Rend. Scizor and Skarmory were swallowed up into the swirl of pink and purple energy.
Brad: “Be on guard people. They could appear anywhere.” At that moment Gardevoir and Salamance, who were resting on the cold steel walls outside the space station looked up and saw a spark of energy. Then it expanded and Skarmory and Scizor tumbled out of it while losing control of their attacks. They hit the space station and the worst happened; they tore open a hole in the steel wall with their attacks. Vik and Krystal had to run before Skarmory and Scizor crashed onto the floor near all the trainers. Air began being sucked out of the room like a vacuum.
Lucas: “We’re losing air! We’re gonna die!”
Chase: “No we won’t. We gotta plug up that hole!”
Lucas: “How?!”
Gwen: “Quick Chase and Lucas, release your 5th generation Pokémon now!” Chase and Lucas looked at each other but then Gwen had to yell louder at them. “JUST DO IT BOYS!” Chase and Lucas nodded and did as Gwen asked.
Lucas: “Smojinn, I chose you.”
Chase: “Come on out Golquake!” Lucas’ purple genie pokemon and Chase’s Golquake appeared. Golquake was still breathing heavily from all the fatigue from its previous battle.
Gwen: “Now Gardevoir, use Psychic to lift Golquake and cover the hole. Hurry before our air supply runs out!” Gardevoir Teleported into the room and stood next to Gwen. Then its eyes glowed blue and Golquake was lifted into the air and then hovered near the hole in the wall. Golquake was more then twice the size of the hole but it still covered it with its curved shell.
Chase: “I get it. Golquake has a steel shell. We’re going to use Smojinn’s fire attacks to weld Golquake’s shell into the wall and preserve our air supply.” Gwen nodded.
Gwen: “Yes but I’m afraid Golquake may not be able to be recalled into your PRi ever again Chase.” Chase gasped in shock. In the short time he’s had Golquake he wasn’t sure if he was willing to release it. As Golquake was set into the hole air could be heard hissing through the tiny spaces.
Arceus X: “Desperate to survive are we? Well I’ll finish you off here and now!”
AJ: “Not so fast! Salamance use Hydro Pump on the Flame Plate!” Salamance launched a jet stream of water from its mouth and skillfully hit the Flame Plate, causing it to gain double the cracks from it received from Nidoking’s Earthquake.
Gwen: “OK Lucas, now have Smojinn use that Fire Wall attack to weld Golquake in place.”
Lucas: “You heard her Smojinn. Do it!” Smojinn lit its hands on fire and then projected a wall of flame and pushed it onto Golquake. Golquake cried out in pain.
Chase: “Hang in there Golquake. You’ve got to hang on for the rest of the team!” Golquake continued to cry out in pain. It began thrashing about with its limbs. Smojinn then got hit with one of Golquake’s claws, which was as big as its face. Smojinn was knocked down to the ground.
Lucas: “Give it everything you got Smojinn! Fire Wall!” Smojinn listened to Lucas and then lit its entire body on fire. Everyone gasped in awe as they saw Smojinn turn from purple to red. Then the genie Pokémon floated to Golquake and it infused its burning body with Golquake. Suddenly Golquake stopped and just froze there not moving or crying out. Smojinn’s body seemed to be fading and then Golquake closed its eyes. The steel wall behind them turned red hot but it done it. Smojinn welded Golquake’s shell to the wall and stopped the air from escaping. Golquake also seemed to have the silver on its body fading and the gold bands around the ankles of its limbs and claws also seem to be fading.
Amy: “Are they… dying?”
Lucas: “No way.”
AJ: “That is just… bizarre.” Chase and Lucas looked at their PRi screens and saw that Smojinn’s and Golquake’s HP bars and status have disappeared.
Gwen: “Smojinn must have used up all of its life force energy to drain Golquake’s. It looks like the result was too much for either of them.” Gardevoir looked on in awe. Scizor and Skarmory cried out in sorrow as well. Chase tilted his head down.
Chase: “Goodbye Golquake.” Lucas placed his left hand on his heart as he closed his eyes.
Lucas: “Thanks Smojinn.”
Arceus X: “How bittersweet.” Everyone looked up and saw Arceus X with ten cracked plates. It seemed that he had recovered some energy and was ready for the next round of battles. “Those were prototype Pokémon anyway. It’s not like they’ll make it into Pokémon Black and White Versions.”
Gwen: “Gardevoir, Teleport and then use Shadow Ball on the Mind Plate.”
Brad: “Take Scizor and Skarmory with you!” Gardevoir, Scizor, and Skarmory teleported our of the room and then they reappeared on Arceus X’s back. Gardevoir then summoned a blast of shadow energy and damaged the Mind Plate.
Arceus X: “Gardevoir, you’re mine!” Gardevoir looked to its right and saw a light green Judgment sphere hit it. It came from the Insect Plate.
Vik & Brad: “Counter Arceus X now!” Skarmory and Scizor flew in with Brave Bird and Aerial Ace.
Arceus X: “Oh no you don’t.” Suddenly Arceus X felt a surge of energy flow through him and he was unable to move. “What?” Arceus X looked up and saw Gallade with its eyes glowing white. It was using Disable to freeze him. Gallade smiled as it watch Scizor smash the Insect plate and Skarmory’s Brave Bird impacting the Meadow Plate causing a fragment of it to break off. Arceus X then used the Flame Plate to summon another Judgement Sphere.
Vik: “Scizor, heads up!” Scizor reacted too slow! The fireball hit Scizor and exploded on impact with flames and smoke.
Chase: “Quick Nidoking, use Stone Edge on the Flame Plate.” Nidoking generated shards of rock and then fired them at the Flame Plate. The plate shattered to tiny pieces and Arceus X cried out in pain. Suddenly Arceus X glowed pink for a moment as he seemed to struggle to stay in the Transformed Arceus.
Gwen: “It’s working just like Jason said. He’s losing his ability to hold the Transformation.”
AJ: “Salamance, another Hydro Pump! This time aim for the Stone Plate!” Salamance’s Hydro Pump shot across the space between it and Arceus X. Arceus saw the attack coming and tried to dodge it, but instead the Hydro Pump hit the Earth Plate.
Shade: “Darkrai, Ice Beam on the Earth Plate!”
Lucas: “Gallade, Leaf Blade!” Darkrai flew in close range to Arceus X and fired another Ice Beam from its hands. The Earth plate gain a massive crack that stretched diagonally from one corner to another. Then Gallade Teleported near the Earth Plate with its left blade arm glowing green. Gallade hit the plate and made it shatter to even tinier fragments. The trainers cheered as Arceus X groaned and glowed pink again. Only five Plates remained! The celebration cut short as Brad knelt down.
Brad: “Hey, anyone else feeling light headed.” Suddenly everyone feel quiet.
Chase: “Now that you mention it, yeah, I’m feeling tired and a little weak.”
Shade: “Our oxygen supply must be reaching its limit.”
Gwen: “Gardevoir, return over here.” Gwen’s Gardevoir did as it was told and Teleported to Gwen’s side.
Amy: “So what do you have in mind?”
Gwen: “We need to evacuate and return to Earth. Gardevoir and I are done. There are no more plates we can hit with our attacks. We’ll take you home one by one.”
Chase: “We don’t live here.”
Jason: “But I have a PRi capable of summoning Celebi!” Everyone was surprised to see Jason.
Shade: “What a surprise. You’re still alive?”
Jason: “Those two Pokémon Xero released, Liquoid and Volcanoid appeared and did something unexpected. They repaired the Space Station by fusing their two bodies and creating a stone barrier to block the air from escaping. Then Regigigas and Metagrosss sealed the hallway and the two Pokémon were sucked out into space. I have a feeling we’ll never see those Pokémon ever again.”
Chase: “Wow, so did you reprogram our PRi’s so that we can summon our legendary Pokémon?” Jason held out another PRi.
Jason: “I have Xero’s PRi right here and his is reprogrammed to digitize a Celebi from the games. I never wanted you and your friends to have the PRi’s in the first place Chase. You are the one who ruined my Team Chaos Operation in the past so why should I help you? On the other hand, Xero is our true enemy. So since the enemy of my enemy is my friend I’ll gladly send you and your friends home after Xero is finished.”
Chase: “So be it. Nidoking, use Stone Edge on the Insect Plate!” Nidoking fired more stone shards at Arceus X. Then it was joined by Scizor flying in with its claws glowing light green.
Vik: “Ready Scizor? X-Scissor on the Meadow Plate!” The stone shards smashed into the Insect Plate and it shattered. Then Scizor sliced the severly cracked Meadow Plate it was sliced apart into four triangles and then disintegrated. Arceus X’s body began to fade and one of the yellow arches attatched to its body turned into the pink blob form of Ditto. Arceus X had only had five plates remaining but its power was already fading.
Arceus X: “Err… I refuse… to lose like this. I have all the power… I have all the abilities… I have the ultimate attacks…”
Chase: “But you’ll always lose…”
Vik: “… to us because true Pokémon power…”
AJ: “… comes from friendship…”
Lucas: “… and faith in each other.” Arceus X chuckled.
Arceus X: “I could care less about your friendship!” Arceus X transformed into its Dark Type. Then it fired seven spheres of Judgement. Nidoking and Salamance were hit and sent flying and crashing into the space station. Lucario, Gallade, and Darkrai skillfully dodged the other attacks.
Gwen: “We’re leaving. Krystal shall we go?” Krystal nodded and then signaled her Lucario to return. Gardevoir used Teleport to bring it back.
Chatot: “Do we have to leave? Chatot wanted to get back at Xero for the last battle.”
Lucas: “You mean with Giratina Origin Forme?” Chatot screamed and then ducked under Luxray who was still using Flash to illuminate the room. Krystal had to walk over and pick up Chatot by his black metronome shaped tail. She then recalled her Lucario into her PRi.
Gwen: “Relax Chatot. When we get home you can have a snack.” Chatot then flapped his wings with excitement.
Chatot: “Ooh, is it sweet n’ sour Poffin time again?”
Chase, Lucas, & AJ: “NO!” Gwen and Krystal chuckled.
Gwen: “Good luck with the rest of battle boys. Gardevoir, Teleport!”
Chase: “Thanks for your help Krystal. Nice knowing you.”
Chase: “So long Chase Kisser!” Chase was about to correct Chatot on his last name but Chatot, its trainer, Gardevoir, and Gwen disappeared at that moment. Lucas smirked at hearing Chatot’s last joke.
Chase: “Good riddance.” Then Chase heard his Nidoking roar and saw that it was still trying to avoid Arceus’ attacks.
Shade: “Darkrai, use Dark Void!” Dark Void formed black energy balls that swallowed up the Judgment spheres. It was the first time anyone saw Darkrai use its signature attack defensively.
Jason: “Five plates left; the Dread, Stone, Draco, Sky, and Icicle Plates.”
Chase: “Let’s smash ‘em up!”
Arceus X: “Do you really think you’ll destroy my remaining plates like you have done the others? Roar of Time!” Arceus X let out a stream of crystal blue energy that hit Nidoking and Darkrai. The two Pokémon became frozen in time and stopped moving.
Jason: “Freezing their Pokémon, clever Xero.”
Arceus X: “I thank you for teaching me that trick with your Dialga Jason.”
Vik: “Too bad you left yourself wide open! Scizor use X-Scissor on the Dread Plate!”
Brad: “Skarmory, use Steel Wing on the Icicle Plate!” Once again Skarmory and Scizor tag teamed Arceus X and swiftly flew by and smashed their designated plates. The two plates were destroyed on impact from the attacks. Suddenly Gwen and Gardevoir reappeared in the Space Station.
Gwen: “Jason, you’re next!” Jason nodded.
Jason: “I’ll wait with Celebi back down on Earth for you and your friends Chase. My way of saying thanks and good riddance once you’ve all returned from this battle.” Chase could tell Jason was still holding a grudge against him, but he nodded and Gwen, Gardevoir, and Jason disappeared. Then he looked back at Nidoking and Darkrai, who were still frozen from Roar of Time’s effect. After Scizor and Skarmory flew away from Arceus X and his three remaining plates Slamance flew in with Gallade riding on its back. Both of Gallade’s arms were glowing green this time.
Lucas: “Show Xero who’s boss! Leaf Blade attack!” Gallade jumped up from Salamace’s back who were now flying beneath Arceus X’s body where the stone plate was. Gallade slashed the plate and multiple scracks appeared from where Gallade hit it. Then it Teleported away as Salamance blasted the Stone Plate with Hydro Pump. It cracked even more, but still held together. Arceus X then fired a Judgement sphere from that plate and it hit Salamance really hard.
Lucas: “No! Come on we’re so close!” Just then Gwen and Gardevoir reappeared and she placed her hand on Shade’s shoulder.
Gwen: “Time to go.”
Shade: “Not yet! I still have a score to settle with Xero!” Gwen looked and saw that Luxray’s flash was growing dimmer and that his Darkari was frozen in time.
Gwen: “You don’t look like you’re in a position to battle. Besides, let Chase and his friends handle this.”
Shade: “Like they could. Besides, Darkrai has Ice Beam which we need to destroy the Sky and Draco Plates.”
AJ: “Hey Shade, no worries. Watch this. Salamance, use Hidden Power!” Salamance’s body glowed with blue energy and then formed energy balls orbiting it. Then Salamance roared and sent the Hidden Power attack at both the Sky and Draco Plates. The two plates shattered and Arceus X yelled in pain once again. The other yellow arch attatched to his body turned pink. He began to look more and more like a Ditto instead of an Arceus.
Gwen: “See? They can handle it. All that’s left is the Stone Plate.”
Shade: “Fine. Keep up the
good work Chase.” With that Shade, Dakrai, Gardevoir, and Gwen disappeared, but Luxray remained and kept the Flash attack going. Chase and his friends looked at the white and pink Arceus with just the cracked stone plate remaining.
Chase: “You’re finished Xero! One attack is all it’ll take to defeat you.” Arceus X looked toward Chase and his friends and chuckled evilly.
Arceus X: “Is that what you believe?”
Brad: “We’ll prove it to you right now. Skarmory, use Steel Wing!” Brad’s Skarmory flew in with its wings glowing.
Arceus X: “I maybe down for the count but I’m taking you and your friends with me Chase Fisher!” With that Arceus began to create two energy spheres.
Lucas: “What’s he doing?”
Brad: “Skarmory, faster!” Brad’s Skarmory couldn’t fly any faster. Then Arceus X formed two heads of our clear energy. They were Dialga and Palkia’s heads and they roared. Was Arceus X bringing the legendary Pokémon to life? Brad’s Skarmory was just a few yards away from the final plate.
Arceus X: “Well played Chase, Lucas, AJ, and Vik. However I say we call this overall game a draw.” Skarmory finally hit and shattered the Stone Plate with Steel Wing but it was too late. “Roar of Time! Spacial Rend!” The Dialga and Palkia heads fired the two attack and they were both aimed at the Space Station!
Arceus X then screamed in pain from losing the last plate. His entire body glowed pink but since Roar of Time and Spacial Rend were heading to the Space Station no one saw what happened to Xero after losing his grip on the Arceus Transformation. The Dialga and Palkia heads also disappeared. All Chase and the others saw were the stream of crystal energy and swirl of purple and pink energy heading straight for them. Everyone felt their hearts pumping rapidly, telling them that they were facing their certain deaths.
Chase (thinking): You gotta be kidding me! We were so close!
AJ (thinking): I always hated Team Chaos and everyone involved in it!
Vik (thinking): I never got to date a girl!
Brad (thinking): So much for a rescue mission.
Amy (thinking): Where’s Gwen when we need her?
Lucas: “GALLADE HEEEEEEEEEEELP!” The two attacks hit the space station. Everyone who was inside it didin’t feel any pain. They didin’t feel anything. It was all over in a flash.
Back down on Earth Gwen and Gardevoir were at the ruins of Team Chaos’ old base. They were with Shade, Krystal, and Jason. They were preparing to Teleport and rescue Chase and the other when suddenly they looked up to the sky and saw a bright flash of light followed by yellow flames.
Jason: “The Space Station! Xero must’ve destroyed it!” Gardevoir had its eyes closed and Gwen looked at it.
Gwen: “Can you sense any of the Pokemon belonging to Lucas and his friends?” After thirty seconds Gardevoir looked at Gwen and then shook its head.
Chatot: “They’re dead.” Krystal yanked one of Chatot’s green tail feathers for Chatot’s lack of faith. Gwen collapsed to the ground and covered her face with her hands.
Gwen: “Oh no. They lost our battle against Xero. We’ve lost them.” Shade walked over to Gwen and got her back up to her feet. He then looked Gwen in the eyes.
Shade: “That pest Lucas was your grandfather from the past, right? Well if you’re still standing here then I guess he and his friends still survived.” Gwen wiped a tear from her face. It was the first time she had seen Shade act so sentimental.
Gwen: “Thank you Shade.” Then she kissed him on his cheek. “Now I just wish I knew what happened up there.”
Jason: “I don’t know and I don’t care.”
Chatot: “So is Team Chaos finished?” Krystal stood there with Chatot sitting on her shoulder. Then she kicked a glass shard from the Battle Simulation room’s ceiling.
Jason: “Afraid so. Xero got his desire after all. Team Chaos is now finished forever.” Jason then began walking away.
Shade: “Well I guess it’s back to the runaway lifestyle for me.”
Gwen: “Why? You could stay with me. After all I still care about you Matthew and unlike you I graduated High School.” Gwen kept her eyes locked on Shade’s hoping he’d say yes.
Shade: “Fine, but please keep calling me Shade… for now.” Gwen smiled. Then she looked up at the night sky.
Gwen: “Thanks everyone, and farewell.” Up in the vastness of space there was scrap metal and debris from the Space Station’s explosion. Nothing from the Pokémon Battle was left behind at all, not even the pink blob of a Ditto’s body. When the final plate shattered Xero lost all control over Arceus’ body and powers. He didin’t revert into his Ditto form either. Jason and the other remaining members of Team Chaos never saw or heard of Xero ever again.

Thanks for reading. Will I continue on with this Fan Fic series? Well I guess I'll wait and see. It kinda depends on what feedback I get. Till then speculate, comment, rant all you want.
