Just a fun what if senario if Ash was invited to the Indigo Academy and met Liko and Roy, since Ash's last series just ended I thought, Why not?
I'm not saying that "This is how HZ should've been" or that I "fixed Horizons"
This is just a fanfic I m...
Liko, Roy, Ash, and Friede find themselves confronted by Amethio, Zirc, Jessie, James, Meowth, and Onia at Diana's castle, while, unbeknownst to them, the Explorers Admins Onyx and Sango are also on their way to the scene, accompanied by Hamber. Terapagos has locked eyes with Amethio in particular and is crying at him aggressively.
Just then, Diana and her Arcanine enter the room to hold the Explorer and Rocket trio off while her Squawkabilly opens a hidden tunnel for her granddaughter and her friends to use to escape.
Diana: Go on! I'll catch up!
Liko, Ash, Roy, and Friede make their escape
Liko recalls Hatenna just as Rhydon digs through the tunnel ceiling above her, scaring her and forcing the group to run. From Rhydon's digging, Zirc is able to determine that the escape tunnel leads to one of the castle's towers. As such, Amethio orders his henchmen to circle their targets from below, while he strikes from above.
The group climbs the tower
Friede: You three stay here, I'll go up to the top and call Murdock
Ash: I'll go with you
Friede and Ash get to the top, and Friede attempts to call Murdock, However, his phonecall is interrupted by Amethio and Meowth appearing on Amethio's Corviknight and attacking them with Hurricane. To make their way to a more favorable battleground, Friede and Ash jump off the tower and Friede calls out his Charizard mid-fall, landing on the roof below.
Amethio and Meowth land on the same rooftop, Amethio sends out Ceruledge and recalling Corviknight to make the match two-on-two. Ash sends out Applin against Meowth, which he laughs at, Not wanting to trigger Ceruledge's Weak Armor, Friede chooses to keep his distance and attacks with Air Slash and Flamethrower. During the battle, one of Ceruledge's Psycho Cuts strikes the tower, causing rubble to start falling towards Charizard. Friede tells Charizard to use Dragon Claw on the rubble, but Amethio has Ceruledge use Phantom Force, having it dive out of the shadow of one of the pieces of rubble and take the hit from the Dragon Claw before Friede can react, triggering Weak Armor and increasing Ceruledge's Speed. With this advantage, Ceruledge is able to land multiple Night Slashes on Charizard, sending it crashing down to the roof, Applin only knows Astonish, and it doesn't do much to Meowth, and Applin eventually gets scared ans flees back into it's ball.
Despite taking a lot of damage, Charizard is still able to get back up. However, Ceruledge still has the advantage in speed, allowing it to easily dodge Charizard's Flamethrower and hit back with Night Slash. Amethio aims for the finishing blow and tells Ceruledge to start charging for a powered-up Psycho Cut. Just then, though, Friede finally decides to stop holding back and whips out his Tera Orb, Terastallizing his Charizard into a Dark type, rendering Psycho Cut ineffective and allowing Charizard to use a super effective Tera Blast, finally defeating Ceruledge, Ash has Pikachu use Thunderbolt to defeat Meowth.
Liko and Roy are in awe at what they just witnessed, but their moment of awe is cut short when Zirc and James suddenly appear on the staircase behind them. Urged by Roy, he and Liko climb down a ladder to escape, but on the ground level, they're confronted by Onia and Jessie, and Zirc and James fly up behind them on Zirc's Skarmory, surrounding the two children. With no other choice, Liko and Roy start battling the four. Liko's Sprigatito and Hattena make short work of Onia's Golduck and Jessie's Seviper with super effective attacks, prompting Zirc to switch targets and have Rhydon attack Sprigatito. However, Rhydon's Megahorn is disrupted by a super effective Stomping Tantrum from Fuecoco,and Roy's Wattrel defeats James' Caspakid. Before the battle can continue, a loud noise is heard, and Zirc notices a couple wild Pokémon being affected by Salt Cure, indicating the presence of Onyx and his Garganacl.
On the rooftop, a cold wind blows by, which annoys Amethio as he recognizes as it as a sign of Coral's presence. Unexpectedly, the damaged tower starts falling down on them, forcing Ash, Friede, Meowth and Amethio to take flight to avoid being crushed by it. On the courtyard, Zirc, James, Jessie and Onia decide to abandon the confrontation and retreat to avoid getting caught in the crossfire, flying away with their Skarmory moments before Liko and Roy are surrounded by Coral and Sidian. Suddenly, Captain Pikachu dives down from the sky and strikes Coral's Glalie with Thunder Punch, the Rising Volt Tacklers having arrived on the scene with the Brave Olivine. Murdock sends down Orla's Metagross to pick up Liko and Roy while Cap stays behind to confront the two admins. Coral has Glalie use Blizzard, but Cap dodges it, forcing Garganacl to defend itself with Wide Guard. Sidian next commands Garganacl to use Salt Cure, but Cap avoids this attack as well and strikes back with Volt Tackle, which sends Garganacl flying back. Coral recklessly orders Glalie to use Self-Destruct. The violent explosion rocks the courtyard, but Cap manages to escape from it with Friede, Ash and Charizard, while Glalie and Garganacl are defeated. At the same time, Diana emerges from the smoke while riding her Arcanine. The Legendary Pokémon performs a mighty leap and lands straight on Brave Olivine's wing deck, much to everyone's amazement.
As the sun rises over the ruined castle, aboard the Brave Olivine, Diana gives Lucius's memoirs to Liko and encourages her granddaughter to seek out the Six Heroes that once traveled with Lucius: Black Rayquaza, Arboliva, Galarian Moltres, Lapras, Kleavor, and Entei.
