"What did you do to Gladion!" Ash shouted.

"What I have done was all needed to know to get my hands on something that you also have." Giovanni grinned showing off his bracelet to Ash, Lucario, and Gladion.



"Where did you get that Z bracelet!" Ash shouted.

"I'm sorry Ash... His agents got the jump on me and took the bracelet that was meant for a new trainer in Alola." Gladion said as he is losing consciousness.

"Gladion! Gladion!" Ash kept shaking Gladion.



'Ash! we need to get him some help!' Lucario suggested.

"Right! Lucario I'm gonna Mega Evolve you and I want you to take him to Gary." Ash said.

'Understood! Ash be careful...' Lucario said with concern.



"I will. Now go!" Ash said pressing his keystone.

Lucario instantly turned into Mega Lucario and carried Gladion away from Ash and Giovanni.

"Now talk Giovanni!" Ash glaring at Giovanni.

"After some my grunts witnessed your previous battles and the recaps from the tournament, your Z-moves peaked my curiosity. Of course, I already have a keystone myself but seeing the Z bracelet can hold both keystones and Z-Crystals made it very appealing." Giovanni said.

"And how much do you know about Z-moves?" Ash said nervously.

"Not as much as you do since you are indeed the Kahuna Nui of Alola. Though I will eventually know everything until we meet in the finals." Giovanni said.

'sighs mentally. So far he doesn't know all the moves yet aside from the ones I used. I will need to talk to Hala later.' Ash said to himself.

"Though I do want to have a one on one battle with each other displaying our Z-Moves. Do you accept?" Giovanni asked with venom in his eyes.

"Fine! Serperior I choose you! Ash flailed his poke ball releasing the grass/poison Pokémon.

"Gengar go!" Giovanni released his poison ghost Pokémon.

"Ser!" The snake Pokémon whips its tail and smacks the ground. She knew this was no ordinary battle.

"Gar!" The ghost Pokémon sticks its tongue out insulting both Ash and Serperior.

"Gengar Shadow Ball!" Giovanni said nonchalantly.



"Serperior Energy Ball!" Ash yelled.

Both Pokémon charged their respective orbs. The attacks created cracks in the air as they collide creating a small crater in the area.

"My, my. It seems we are very close in terms in power..." Giovanni grinned venomously.

"Please! We're not even trying to go all out!" Ash shouted.

"For once I couldn't agree more. Now Gengar! Use Never-Ending Nightmare!" Giovanni formed a stiff Z-pose.

"Serperior! Use Bloom Doom!" Ash forms his own Z-Pose.

Both Z-moves were fired towards each other. As the attacks made collision with each other the building made a BANG! The area around the trainers and Pokémon destroyed the room.
