1. Ash's Story (Part 7: Kalos)

Chapter 53

We continue to battle Lysandre's Mega Gyarados since it is the only one left, and after we defeat it, I say, "It appears that the fighting instinct you've spoken of is a thing of the past!"

"It's all over, Lysandre!" Serena says.

Lysandre says, "All your petty talk... it will never extinguish my dream!" Much to our surprise, Lysandre is now walking to the edge of the Prism Tower. He opens his arms and says, "I'm still committed to recreating this world!"

When he's about to fall, I have Greninja try to save him, but it's too late as he falls. We are shocked at what happened. Seibold asks, "Does that mean he's gone forever?"

"I don't think so... we thought the same thing back at Geosenge Town... but he comes out alive to create this mess..." I say.

That's when Serena gets a call from Alice. "Alice? Where are you guys now?"

"We're at the other Lysandre Labs. And we just rescued Chespie!" Alice says. "Professor Sycamore and Steven Stone are here with us at the lab as well!"

I say, "Mairin! Are you there?"

"I'm here. With Chespie!" Mairin says. "Are you okay? Ash?"

"I'm fine. How are you?" I ask.

"I'm fine. Chespie's safe, too!" Mairin says.

"So Ash, Serena, what's your location?" Eve asks.

"We're at the top of Prism Tower." I say.

"Could I ask you to go to the Gym? It's Clemont and David..." We are confused by what Flora says, and we decide to rush to check on Clemont.

After we get there, we find Clemont and David kneeling on the ground, after seeing Clembot's body, we gasp and Serena covers her mouth with horror. "What happened, Clemont?"

"Clembot did it all..." David mutters.

"Can Clembot be fixed?" I ask.

"I'll do my best." Clemont lowers his head with a frown. "I've not been of any use so far..."

Just then, Alice calls again, and she says, "Guys! It's an emergency!"

Professor Sycamore says, "The Giant Rock at Lysandre Labs absorbed Chespie!"

"Absorbed? What do you mean absorbed?" I ask.

"The giant rock is on the move somewhere... I don't know where. I'm sending you our coordinates. Get here fast and bring Blaziken Mask! We're going to keep track of its movements and analyze as we can."

"Guys, please be careful." Alice says.

"We will." Serena says. Then Clemont stands back up and David asks, "Clemont?"

"I'm all right. The battle isn't over just yet."

As we take on the helicopter provided by the League with the Elite Four, also having the Blaziken Mask, Elline, and Bonnie, also with two Zygarde Cores in her hands. We learn from Professor Sycamore, "Listen, everyone. I want to tell you what I know about the Giant Rock. When we scanned it, we discovered that it was a giant mass of energy. A mass of energy that strongly resembles Zygarde's. In addition, we picked up Chespie's vital signs from within its core."

Steven says, "And, we found and retrieved Chespie's records located in the lab's database. According to those records, an accident caused Chespie to absorb some of Zygarde's energy. We think that the giant rock absorbed Chespie in order to obtain that energy."

"But now, the Giant Rock is in search of its next energy source." Then we gasp as we notice that it is going to the Anistar City Sundial. "The sundial is a giant crystal said to have come from space. We know that the energy it contains is the very same energy that Pokemon emit when they're experiencing Mega Evolution."
