32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 188 Tao Helix Part 2

Ash, Luna, Yancy, and Taka are now facing the new Anomalies, as they send out Mega Manectric, Mega Salamence, Mew, Shaymin Skye Form, 2 Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Hoopa Unbound, Magearna, and both White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. After defeating all of them, the Anomalies are gone and they flee with three doors appearing.

Taka: ...Is that it? She's not actually gone, right? She's totally unrecognizable from the old Lin, but even that one would just fall asleep randomly... Maybe it's some kind of limitation on the power she can use? Well, whatever the case, thanks for helping me out. I hope I was able to keep up a bit better than the last time we paired up. (Turns to Luna) You told me, "You look better with a fire in your eyes." I have to admit I felt better too. But I'm not interested in the kind of fire that's used only to destroy. I... want to be the kind of fire that people can enjoy. Sit down, warm your hands... Have some small reprieve from this world of cold. I hope I can offer you that warmth too, if you'll have it.

Ash: That will be nice.

Taka: Ah, well, let me start by healing your team. (Heals the groups' teams) I think you're up to bat now. Those legends belong to you, even if they don't know it yet.

Ash and the others nod as they head to each door and capture every single one of the Legendary inside.

Ash's New Capture in New World Helix: Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem (Event)

Taka: Got 'em all? I'd expect nothing less from the Champion. If we're all done, let's get out of here. I may be just a guy, but I've been thinking I'm a pretty lucky one. Or something worse.

Lin: (Appears) Oh, that's my cue! So, you'll all remember this one, right? God they were SUCH a pain way back whenever. But, y'know, it'd be a shame to just kill them, right? Everyone else is just SO boring. But, you know, being out here sure seems to have some unfortunate side-effects, so they might be a little... you know. Idk why I'm fine. Get on my level? You try and have people over for fun little sleepovers and then the next thing you know they're covered in black depresso goop. Just like middle school, I guess. Anyway, fix it!

Just then, a person appears in front of them, and Ash, Luna, and Taka are shocked to see that the person is Ace, with Umbral Energy.

Ace: Ah, It is So goOd to Be oUt On the StagE agAiN~

Taka: A-Ace? I- It's great to see you again. What happened to you before?

Ace: SoMe mAnneR of maGiC mOst foUl to Be sUrE, BuT faR be iT for mE to expLaiN anOther pErforMer's TriCkS. No, nO. RiGht Now, tHIs is My sHoW. AnD I cOuldN't havE asked for A bettEr auDieNcE.

Just then, Taka disappears from their sight, much to their surprise.
