Ash's Paldea Story

Chapter 70 Beads of Ruin

"So today you're going to fight against Team Rocket?" I ask my mom through the Rotom Phone. "Couldn't you pick a better time? I mean, I'm having Final Exams starting tomorrow."

"I'm sorry, Ash... but we can't wait." Delia says to me with a frown. "Besides, you only have one Treasure of Ruin Pokemon left, right?"

"Yeah..." I sigh. "Only the Beads are left. Don't worry. I promise I'll send all four of them to you once we capture the Legendary Pokemon today."

"I'll wait for the good news. It is time for us to end Team Rocket once and for all." Delia says as she ends the call.

Lillie says, "What are we going to do? Nemona, Reisa, Luke, and Drandon can't come with us because they need to study for the final exams..."

"It seems like we're going to do this on our own." I sigh. "Let's go find the stakes."

The first blue stake is in North Province Area One, on top of a hill not far north of the area's Pokemon Center. The second blue stake is on a cliff just above Eri's Fighting Crew Team Star base. It's a little bit northeast of the North Province Area Two Pokemon Center.

We check out one of the tallest mountains above a waterfall near the Firescourge Shrine's location to find the third stake in North Province Area Two. And the fourth stake is inside the remains of a ruin just southeast of the Firescourge Shrine.

The fifth stake is hanging out near a tree on a hilltop overlooking Tagtree Thicket. We can find the sixth stake next to a big tree outside Levincia on a tall cliff.

We head to the cliffs northeast of the Dalizapa Passage Pokemon Center to find the seventh stake on a grassy ledge with trees, and we head northeast over Glaseado Mountain to find the last stake by the coast.

After taking out the last stake, we are going to the Firescourge Shrine to release the final Treasure of Ruin Pokemon. On our way, we are surprised to find Goh, Chloe, Sonia, Hop, and Leon together.

"Ash? Lillie? What are you doing here?" Hop asks. "I thought you guys were at school preparing for final exams."

I say, "As much as I want to, my mother wants me to get the final Treasure of Ruin Pokemon so we can use them to stop Team Rocket."

"Treasure of Ruin Pokemon? What is that?" Chloe asks.

"They are 4 Legendary Pokemon which used to be the treasures until they were tainted by the darkness of humans." Lillie says. "We have three of them already and we're heading to the final one."

"Wait, you two are going to fight the Legendary Pokemon alone?" Goh asks. "At least let us come with you."

"Are you sure? You know what, I think it is fine, you can come along." I say.

We all head to the shrine and I also explain each of the four Treasures.

"So you say that Wo-Chien is made from human grudges possessing the dry leaves, Chien-Pao is made from human hatred possessing the snow, and Ting-Lu is made from human fear possessing rocks and sand." Sonia says.

"And the final one is this one. Chi-Yu... made from human envy possessing the fire." I say as I open the gate, and then the Pokemon just come out with a loud roar.

"So that's Chi-Yu?" Chloe asks.

"Yes, and be prepared, we're going to fight against it." I say.

Leon decides to go with Dragapult, and Hop decides to go with Inteleon to help the battle.

"Ting-Lu! Chien-Pao! Wo-Chien! Come on out!" I say as I send out all three of them, and Chi-Yu just stare at them before using its ability, lowering all of the Special Defenses.
