Ash and the others stare into the fake Arceus, and they gulp as if it is emitting a lot of power.

El: Aduro, Creo, Iudex... Mei Divinitus! We will silence all heretics! Let judgment rain down upon thee!

Ash gulps as he has to battle the Pokemon or else it is going to use Judgement on them. Ash notices that the Crystal Caverns are boosting the power of Judgement, and he has Lycanroc to block the attack.

Ash: Lycanroc! Use Stone Edge!

Lycanroc fires the attack and the stones are charging at Arceus, however, the Arceus doesn't seem to take a lot of damage and it goes for Focus Blast, knocking the Lycanroc out of the battle.

Ash: No way...(Recalls Lycanroc and goes for Infernape) Infernape, use Mach Punch!

The Fighting-Type attack seems to be doing a lot of work, but Arceus rains Judgement again, and Infernape takes the hit as it is struggling. Even though it activates the Blaze, Flare Blitz manages to hit the fake god, but it goes for Shadow Ball, knocking out the Pokemon in the end.

Ash decides to switch into Sceptile, after using Leaf Storm to damage the Pokemon, it uses Recover to recover its health, and it goes for another Judgement to defeat the fake Arceus. Krookodile is next, and it goes for Dragon Claw to attack Arceus, but the Arceus defeats it with Focus Blast. Charizard is next, and Ash has high hopes for the Pokemon as he has Charizard go for Fire Spin, continuously dealing damage, but Arceus still holds on and defeats Charizard in the end.

Ash: Even Charizard can't beat it? Pikachu! You're my last hope.

Pikachu charges forward and he can only hope Pikachu can dodge the upcoming attacks, but after dodging Judgement, Focus Blast, and even Shadow Balls, Pikachu is getting tired and it gets hit by the Judgement.

Ash: (Sees Pikachu in pain) Pikachu, please, you have to do this...

El: Finish them already.

When Arceus goes for another Judgement, just then, Pikachu seems to be glowing in bright light, much to everyone's confusion.

Arceus: Ash...can you hear me?

Ash: Arceus? Is that you?

Arceus: I admit that I gave this man the light that he deserves, but he has been using it the wrong way. I'm giving your Pikachu power so you can defeat the faker. (Glows and Ash's Z Crystal starts to glow.)

Ash: Arceus, I won't let your effort be in vain. I will stop him.

After the light dies down, Pikachu struggles to get back up after missing the Judgement.

Ash: Pikachu, let's do this together! (Does the Z Pose) This is our full power! 100000000 Volt Gigavolt!

Pikachu jumps into the air and charges rainbow-colored electricity, and with the boost from Arceus' powers, Pikachu fires the attack at the fake Arceus, causing it to lose all its power immediately and return to being a Ditto.

El: (Stares at his fainted Ditto) Thou defiest me; thou defiest the Lord.

Ash: Just because we have both opinions doesn't mean I defiest the Lord. But rather, the Lord gave my Pikachu the power to stop you!

El: Ridiculous. As but a false idol, it cannot hope to mimic the true Lord's power. (Tries to leave, but find himself being surrounded by Radomus, Cain, and Adrienn)
