Ash quickly catches up to Jaern, who is standing on top of the tower, he says, "I see you have followed me..." He turns around and faces him. "And only you, huh? Which means that the others are facing East."
"So?" Ash asks. "You are going to use me when I am alone to summon Rayquaza?"
"There is no need for it." He says as he takes out a machine. "I already have East's energy as my fuel. After all, I know he will lose to those six trainers."
Ash says, "So it means that you were just using him as your puppet."
"I'd love to change my mind and save him, but I can't. Since I made a promise, and a strong ruler keeps his promises." He turns around again. "In my mind's eye, I see a region filled with love. It's a far-off, almost unachievable dream. Death on the way to that goal is a triviality. His sacrifice is not in vain, especially now that I can use him to summon Rayquaza." He raises the machine as he walks closer, as well as Ash, who is glaring at him.
Then they see a crystal in front of them, and Arceus, who is invisible, gasps. "The Jewel of Life..."
"Arceus, you lost your Jewel of life again?" Ash whispers to her.
"No, at first I gave it to your father...but..." Arceus says.
"It's a beautiful crystal, isn't it? I don't know where it came from. It's been in the possession of the First Augur for as long as I can remember. Even after a year of research and experimentation, I am still no closer to finding out. On the other hand, though, I've learned some very interesting things about what this crystal is capable of."
He turns to Ash, "Any kind of magic-based action, such as a spell or a Pokemon attack, requires two things: Focus, and energy. The energy is the power source for the attack or spell, and the focus is what directs it to do something. For example, a Fire-type Pokemon may be able to blow blasts of fire at a foe. However, if they run out of power points, they can't. In this case, the focus would be the Pokemon using the move, and the PP is a measure of energy left. Make sense?"
"So?" Ash asks with an uninterested tone.
"As near as I can tell, this crystal is a limitless source of energy. It contains the power of a thousand suns- maybe more."
"So it is this power that my dad was able to protect the region and defeat cult after cult." Ash realizes.
"Everyone said that his Pokemon were incredibly strong...it is because they had the energy to use, well, incredible attacks. Now it is my turn to put this great gift to good use. Now, I use the energy of my servant, East, to summon the mightiest of beasts! Come forth! Rayquaza, herald of the skies! You will be my focus! I will use your abilities to harness my limitless energy!"
Suddenly, the winds start blowing and then a roar can be heard, then Rayquaza appears in front of them, much to their shock.
"Rayquaza?" Ash gasps, he can't believe that Jaern manages to summon the Legendary Pokemon that rules the skies.
"At last, Rayquaza...Finally, we stand united, you and I. Together, the world can be ours...you will be my focus! You will harness my limitless energy, and under our leadership, we will create a utopia! There will be no crime or hatred! No war or revolution! Only a perfect, peaceful society...and I will be its king!"
Rayquaza isn't listening to Jaern, he is focusing on Arceus. "You idiot, what are you doing here?" Arceus asks in a tone like a parent is scolding a child, and Rayquaza knows that his mother needs some explanation.
"I am sorry, mother. But my Chosen and I have a plan. I am going to spy on this traitor."
"Spying?" Arceus raises her eyebrow. "You are going to pretend to be his Pokemon?"
