The Badlands. The Storm King's Castle. Late Afternoon.
At last, they had arrived at the Storm King's Castle. Here to rescue Twilight Sparkle, retrieve the two stolen crystals and stop the Storm King. And at this rate, they had to be as efficient and quick as possible since the Storm King has grown even stronger. The Storm King has already affected the land in various ways, creating new terrain in his own image.
Twilight Sparkle and Tempest Shadow were currently with the Storm King in his throne room, with Twilight being drained of her magic, only having a little Rift Magic at her disposal. But that little amount could still do something.
"Alright then. Have it your way, Tempest." The Storm King decided to take Tempest Shadow out of the equation next. Clearly, she was of no use to him anymore, especially since he revealed the truth to her. He would never restore her horn even after all that work she did for him, much to Twilight's dismay. He aimed his staff at Tempest Shadow specifically, still needing Twilight Sparkle around. But Tempest was now expendable.
"Wait, I'm still in here!" Grubber, who was currently in the throne room, was hoping that the Storm King would refrain from firing until he was out of the room. But it was too late for that. The Storm King was already too focused on Tempest Shadow and this explosion was about to leave behind some wide damage without a doubt.
Quickly, Twilight would push Tempest out of the way with a blast of Rift Magic right as the beam was unleashed. The beam flew into the throne room after missing Tempest. The outburst from the room exploding sent debris flying along with a shockwave that pushed the two ponies away. Grubber made a run for it as he was sent hurling through the air once the throne room took a heavy blow.
"Twilight! Your Pokemon!" Tempest Shadow shouted, throwing out the Poke Balls she had stolen from Twilight earlier. It was high time she got them back.
"Thanks!" Twilight caught them. And immediately, she would throw them herself, unleashing the two Pokemon who were within. Absol and Togekiss. Two red rays of light flew out, showing the Disaster Pokemon and Jubilee Pokemon.
"Absol!"
"Togekiss!"
"Eugh, what are those?!" The Storm King said, taken aback by ABsol and Togekiss' appearance. He then noticed Absol, who shared slight similarities with him, mainly due to the colour scheme. "Oh, but I like the look of that one. Reminds me of myself. Too bad I'll have to blast it too!"
"Absol, quick! Use Night Slash!" Twilight shouted. Her main target was none other than the Staff itself. She figured that if the staff breaks, that would solve every problem that the Storm King had made.
"Ab...Sol!" Absol understood what needed to be done. By targeting the staff, he would light up his horn, gathering the power of the dark during this late sunset afternoon. The Storm King, however, protected himself, using the power of Zekrom as an explosive wave of lightning shot out. Absol cut through the lightning, only for it to launch him thanks to the explosions."Ab!"
"Togekiss, use Dazzling Gleam!"
"Toge...!" As Absol slid on the ground, recovering from the explosion, Togekiss went next, spinning her body while summoning a sphere of Fairy Magic. And out of that sphere, multiple rainbow rays were shot out, all going for the Staff of Sacanas.
In response, the Storm King held out the staff, spinning it with one hand. He was showing off, yawning while twirling the staff which had Reshiram's Flames around it. And this proved to be an effective way of defending himself as the rays were knocked aside and even burned away.
Some of the rays were sent right back at Togekiss too as they were enveloped in flames to give them extra power. Togekiss was then hit by her own attacks which were cloaked in flames, knocking her out of the sky. The Storm King wheezed, taunting Twilight's team after successfully pushing them away, ruining their first attacks. It was very clear that getting that staff away from him was not going to be easy.
"Sneasler! Noivern! Get that staff!" Tempest Shadow would soon assist Twilight Sparkle, throwing two Poke Balls that brought out Sneasler and Noivern. And once out, they knew what they needed to do. "Boomburst!"
"Noi...Vern!" From its ears, the soundwave Pokemon emitted a powerful blast of sound that gained visible form, blowing away the rubble that had formed up here.
"Lah-lah-lah! I can't hear you over the Thunder!" By using Zekrom's Electricity, not only did he overpower the sound Boomburst made, but he also fought back against the soundwave. The soundwave was broken apart by the Thunder as Noivern was also struck by the blast, crying out.
"Dire Claw!"
"Night Slash!"
"Snea!" Together, Sneasler and Absol would try and get in close, going for their own respective slashes. The Storm King would then use Zygarde's power, shooting it at the floor. Before Absol and Sneasler knew it, the floor of the castle balcony was elevated, summoning a huge chunk of rock that would intercept Absol and Sneasler's movements. The two were hit in the chest by the rising rocks, interrupting their attacks. These rocks would also elevate the Storm King, bringing him to a higher height as he continued to laugh at his enemies.
"This is no big deal! I can always redecorate!" He boasted after creating a massive chunk of rock that he stood on top of. Getting to that staff was rather difficult as the Storm King was also making sure to keep his distance. Twilight's suspicions about destroying the staff to fix everything were starting to be confirmed but the main problem was getting to the staff. With all of that power, the Storm King was very versatile. "I don't mind breaking down my castle at all!"
"Pika...Chuuuu!" Suddenly, a crash of thunder fell down on the Storm King from above. The Storm King was hit with 100,000 volts of lightning. And the one responsible for that was Pikachu. And who else would be next to Pikachu's side than Ash himself?
The Storm King's eyes rolled before he retrieved his sense, surprised that he was hit from this high above. He at least expected Celestia, Luna or even the Twin Dragons to be the ones to do it. But it was Pikachu as Ash was also seen, dropping from above. The one to bring him up here was none other than Pinkie Pie's Mew. Carrying them with Psychic, Mew had also brought Espeon, Cinccino and Ninetales along, reuniting them with their trainer.
"Mew!"
"You all!" Twilight said with glee after Ash and Pikachu landed. And with Mew here, that obviously meant that the rest of her friends were making it to the top despite the Storm King's height.
"Twilight! Are you alright?!" Ash said while sliding down the huge chunk of rock that the Storm King had made.
"Pika!"
"Esp!" Espeon would fly into the hooves of Twilight, reuniting with her beloved Trainer. Mew made sure to place them all down or rather, place the Pokemon of Twilight down. Ash and Pikachu had a different approach entirely.
"I am! Just...don't attack Tempest, please!" Twilight shouted.
"Hm?" Ash uttered as that was definitely on his mind since Tempest Shadow was the one to kidnap her. But while sliding down the rock, the Storm King made it so that the rock would shoot out pillars, attempting to knock him and Pikachu off. The rest of Twilight's friends were still down on the streets of the Storm King's territory, dealing with the Storm Creatures.
Ash would continue sliding to avoid these incoming pillars that flew out aggressively. Before any more of them could show up, Ash and Pikachu jumped off the huge chunk of rock, eventually landing on the floor next to Twilight and Tempest.
"What about Zygarde?!" Twilight asked.
"Zygarde's dealing with the damage the Storm King just did. Plus, there's something Zygarde's gotta do without any interruptions." Ash explained as Zygarde was currently up to something while also trying to heal what the Storm King has done to the surrounding area. As for what it was up to without needing any interruptions, that was yet to be seen or explained at all, but Twilight could only assume that it was a good thing.
"This is getting out of hand. Like I said before, this ends now!" The Storm King exclaimed, raising his staff into the air as he saw how wild this starting to get. Refusing to let it escalate from here, he would unleash plenty of power from his staff, shooting a beam into the air. Once again, he was about to greatly alter the landscape.
And the effects were already starting to show. Below everyone, the ground started to split open, interrupting the battles happening down there. Pheromosa was kicking her way through some of the Storm Creatures, assisted by Milotic's Hydro Pump. The powerful kicks of the Lissome Pokemon plus a grand stream of water were truly devastating as the Hydro Pump would also target the large chunk of rock the Storm King had made.
Sceptile had used Frenzy Plant, summoning these large roots to either smack or restrain the Storm Creatures. He was backed up by the Golurk, who would muscle their way through the Storm Creatures who were plentiful here at the Storm King's Castle. Audino would be the one to heal those injured in any way, using Heal Pulse to do so while Fluttershy tended to them.
Goh's Cinderace would jump on the heads of Storm Creatures, causing some of them fall to down just from the sheer leg strength it was exhibiting. For the Storm Creatures, it was nothing but brute force when it came to dealing with them. Simple but straightforward.
However, very soon, they would notice how the ground was cracking. Rarity gasped as she would stumble and wobble with the ground below her opening up. On top of that, the corrupted energy of Zygarde was within it, only adding to that intensity. Those who battled on the ground were met with this ground-shaking event, interrupting their actions. The same went for the Storm Creatures who were not exempt from their own ruler's power. This was something that affected everyone after all. However, those in the air were completely fine, exempt from this issue and there were quite a lot of them. But they would have to get close to the issue to save their friends who were struggling to stay stable while the ground was coming apart, creating chasms and large gaps as Fire and Lightning would start violently flying out.
"Hold on!" Rainbow Dash swooped in, saving Rarity from an incoming burst of lightning in the nick of time. Rainbow Dash's tail was clipped by the lightning, receiving a burn. She yelped, seeing her tail smoking from the clip. She feared what would happen if the lightning actually got her.
Pheromosa tried running as fast as she could, but someone as fast as her was unable to find any balance whatsoever. Milotic had to slither so she was already at a disadvantage here. Fluttershy took flight, hovering over the air to avoid the cracks, but thanks to the Fire and Lightning, very soon, those in the air wouldn't be safe.
The Golurk were struck by rising flames, immune to the lightning but not the flames. They would cry out after receiving a vicious burn that was strong enough to even bypass their Ground-Type. These were the flames of Reshiram after all, who was said to hold the most powerful Fire out of any Pokemon out there. Zekrom's Lightning was also said to be the strongest Lightning any Pokemon could generate and the way it tore through the atmosphere was backing it up greatly.
Sceptile grabbed onto Applejack, quickly using his vines to fly over to the castle to avoid the failing ground below. But along the way, the lightning and fire would fly up, nearly catching the Forest Pokemon. The Frenzy Plants he made have already been absolutely demolished by the Fire and Lightning so if either struck him, it would spell trouble.
All the while, the laughter of the Storm King could be heard. Another batch of Fire and Lightning would keep flying out of the cracks as some of them were going straight for Celaeno, who was on the back of her Pidgeot at the moment, holding her sword out. She looked down as her body was being coloured by an orange and blue energy while also heating up just from being near these elements.
But intercepting an incoming stream of Fire and Lightning, were the ones who originally possessed it. Reshiram and Zekrom appeared, unleashing their own Fire and Lightning at the ones the Storm King had generated. They clashed with these opposing yet similar elements right as they were about to reach Celaeno.
Reshiram and Zekrom would be the ones to put a stop to these destructive elements that are originally theirs. They were certainly strong enough to do so.
"Reshiram, use Fusion Flare on that spiral of flames!" Celestia bellowed as Reshiram used Fusion Flare on a spiral of flames that tore open the ground, leaving a large hole behind. This spiral was approaching Pinkie Pie who was backed against the wall. But thankfully, the unforgiving flames had been taken about by welcoming flames, saving Pinkie Pie who let out a great sigh of relief unlike any other she's done so far.
"Zekrom, use Bolt Strike!"Zekrom crashed right into a lightning storm with Bolt Strike, encasing himself in an equally powerful storm of electricity to match its power. Because of those two crystals, whatever the Storm King did was considered to be comparable to a Legendary Pokemon.
What Zygarde was currently doing was using its power on the various altered lands that it could see. But it wasn't alone in this endeavour. Helping heal the land were Celestia, Luna plus the Sea Temple. And underneath them all were the Hippogriffs. By using the Pearl, they assisted Zygarde in repairing the land as this damage would affect the sea as well. In fact, it already has.
The pearl could be seen glowing underneath, just below Zygarde. The way it was giving it power was by sending wisps into its body, boosting the Order Pokemon. The Samiyans showed up, still staying at sea despite the fierce water tornado that the Storm King had summoned. And to help Zygarde, they were using the power of the Sea Temple Crystals. Way more than what the Storm King currently had. They stayed away from the battle, opting to help Zygarde instead.
"Yeesh. Glad I'm not involved with that," Capper said as this whole time, he was in the Grand Equestria, not fond of getting involved with this roughhousing. He and his Pokemon witnessed everything that has happened so far during this battle. Risen landscapes, elemental events, massive Dragons and more. It was all rather perplexing to the eyes.
"Share it all with Zygarde," Alo said while the crystals were flowing next to the Order Pokemon. "With the crystals, we can repair what was been lost."
Zygarde did indeed appreciate the help from the Sea Temple residents. There were plenty of unfamiliar faces here. The only faces it knew were that of Ash and Pikachu and that was about it. No one else. But the fact that many of them were friends of Ash, Zygarde could put its full trust into all of them.
The Tundra that the Storm King made was being reversed, returning to what it used to be. Another part of the Sea. The ice was melting away, reverting as water to make the process easier. There were other locations that needed more than just melting to stop them. All the while, Zygarde was gaining power. By doing this, Zygarde grew in strength and it wasn't from the Sea Temple Crystals. It was Zygarde's own power. Or rather, its ability.
Back at the Storm King's Castle, the Storm King still stood at the top of this huge chunk of rock just to appear above them all. And he certainly seemed powerful right now. With so much power, it was easy to see why he had to be stopped at once. But it was mainly the staff they had to worry about.
"I'm almost on top of the world here!" He boasted once more. "And the best part is that Ash came right to me! Too bad for you, Tempest!" With his shout, he would whip up a storm of lightning that would strike at his own castle. Ash held onto his hat during the fierce thunderstorms happening around the castle.
"Ash. All we need to do is deal with that staff." Twilight said. "That's all that matters. I don't know where the two crystals are but we can worry about that later.
"The staff? Got it? In that case...Cut!" Ash raised his arm, giving out a command. But the Storm King expected Pikachu to be the one who pulled it off. However, Pikachu simply stood there, doing nothing. This confused the Storm King as he was unsure as to who Ash was speaking to.
But that was answered instantly once the Storm King heard someone else descending from above. He looked up to see none other than Greninja making an entrance. By forming two kunais of energy, Greninja was going straight for the staff. The Storm King staffed once Greninja came down, barely avoiding it by running out of the way. Greninja only ended up hitting the air.
"Oh, you almost got me!" The Storm King gasped. "Almost..."
"Man! I was for sure he was gonna be caught off guard!" Ash hit his fist into his palm. "But we've got other ways. And that's by charging right at you."
"Your Greninja?" Twilight gasped, amazed to see Greninja here again. This place was now most definitely crowded. The Storm King looked behind him, hearing the sound of his destructive work being reversed. Zygarde was healing the ecosystem, having enough time to do so.
Previously, Zygarde was just pursuing the Storm King, aiming to take out the source of the problem and then handle healing the world. But with Ash and his friends here, Zygarde could leave it to them while it heals the world. The Storm King knew he would have to rebuild what Zygarde was remaking after this and he wasn't about to let Ash, Twilight and even Tempest stop him.
"Let's go, Greninja! Full Power!" At that moment, Ash would take the opportunity to go all out with Greninja, making the Storm King's ears perk up for a moment.
"Greninjaaaa!" Together, they wound unify their spirits as a pillar of water shot down on Greninja. Ash and Greninja screamed together as Tempest Shadow shielded her eyes from this sudden phenomenon. It was none other than the Bond Phenomenon of course.
And emerging from the pillar of water was Ash-Greninja. In this form, Greninja's skin turns a lighter shade of blue, while his face gains red stripes and his cheeks and side fins turn black, changing shape to resemble Ash. The Storm King blinked for a moment, unsure of what just happened, but he wasn't about to let it bother him.
"Pssh. Whatever!" The Storm King laughed before using his staff once more. Zekrom's Lightning flew out once more.
"Cut!"
"Grenin!" Once more, those weapons of energy formed in Greninja's hands as he would slash them at the lightning. And in this form, his strength had been heightened. The lightning had been cut through by Greninja, blowing up right afterwards. But the explosion did not send Greninja flying.
"Pikachu, use Quick Attack! Greninja, Aerial Ace!"
"Pika!"Together, Pikachu and Greninja took off, moving at confounding speeds. Pikachu had the edge, moving ahead of Greninja and appearing in front of the Storm King. He smacked right into the staff, being the first to hit it at last. The Storm King yelped before using the power of the staff to summon a pulse of fire which would knock Pikachu away.
"Ja!" Following up from Pikachu's attack was Greninja who would also target the staff, attempting to kick it right at the top. Protecting himself and the staff, the Storm King used the power of the Sea Temple Crystals to form a light shield. Greninja's leg struck into the shield, trying to push through it with all of his might. Ash was doing the same, synchronizing his movements with the Storm King.
"Dazzling Gleam! Dark Pulse!"
Assisting Ash-Greninja in breaking through that shield was a double Dazzling Gleam from Espeon and Togekiss. Together, they would unleash a storm of rainbows that bombarded the shield. Adding to that was Absol's Dark Pulse, which went in contrast with the Dazzling Gleam but shared just as much power as it. These rainbows and darkness, combined with Ash-Greninja's Aerial Ace, shattered the shield, making the Storm King stumble back.
"Sneasler, use Close Combat!"
"Iron Tail, Pikachu!"
"Ninetales, use Flare Blitz! Minccy, Tri Attack!" Another string of attacks were incoming as the group would not stop for a moment. It started with Cinccno using Tri Attack, sending the three elements towards the Storm King. However, those elements were quickly cancelled out once the Storm King summoned both Fire and Lightning. Just those two were enough to take out Tri Attack, even destroying the third sphere.
Rushing through the smoke of elements Pikachu and Sneasler, getting up close and personal with the Storm King. That is until the Storm King used Zygarde's power to form a chunk of rock, shielding himself. Pikachu's Iron Tail and Sneasler's Close Combat smashed the rocks in front of them as they were not slowing down for anything right now. More and more rock formations were formed, forcing Pikachu and Sneasler to smash their way through them just to reach the Storm King.
Ninetales cloaked himself in a fierce blaze of fire before launching himself off the ground. He became a flaming comet, breaking through the rest of the rocks that the Storm King made. The Storm King would quickly shoot out a stream of lightning, trying to stop Ninetales in his tracks. The lightning met with the Flare Blitz, initiating a clash. Ninetales growled, trying his best to break through.
But it was at that moment that the Storm King had used the little bit of Rift Magic he managed to gain. And by using it, he would summon a tornado from underneath the balcony floor. The tornado would lift Ninetales up, ending his Flare Blitz as it was large enough to cover his whole body.
And with this tornado suddenly appearing, Ash and the others felt the pressures as they were inbound to being lifted from the floor as well. Cinccino was already leaving the floor thanks to her small body. The same went for Pikachu.
The Storm King laughed, immune to the tornado that he had just summoned. Twilight tried holding onto something but the balcony at this point was ruined, having no handles to grab onto. It was only the large chunk of rock that the Storm King stood on. But making sure she wouldn't be sent flying was Absol along with Togekiss. But that would be difficult with this powerful tornado appearing.
But this was more than just some tornado. The Storm King added Fire and Lightning to it, making it stronger than before and far more destructive. It could now burn and fry, shooting out lightning bolts in random directions with all of this rapid spinning.
"Ash! Twilight!" Pinkie Pie bellowed, looking up at the powerful tornado. All of their friends watched the scuffle on the castle and how things were just escalating. The Fire Lightning Tornado would absolutely destroy the balcony, making the large chunk of earth fall. But not before grabbing some massive rubble, adding one more element to it.
The lightning and fire would scorch the earth with intense heat while also picking others off the ground. The Storm Creatures were being lifted up as even the Golurk, who were in the air, were being pulled over by the Tornado. The ground of the Storm King's territory was at its lowest right now, filled with wide chasms that were brimming with Zygarde's corrupted energy.
The Tornado would then reach the clouds, swirling them around and imbuing the Fire and Lightning. The clouds would then shoot out fire and lightning, hitting the lands near and far, bringing about an unusual weather. The Storm King was truly whipping up a fierce storm, living up to his name.
Tempest Shadow was grabbed by Noivern, who was also struggling to keep its balance in the air. The Storm King made himself fly by using the power of the crystals, laughing at everything struggling. To him, victory had already been decided.
"Water Shuriken! Thunderbolt!"
"Use Shadow Ball, Eve!"
"Pikaaa...Chuuuu!" Together, Pikachu, Espeon and Ash-Greninja worked together to break apart this tornado if they could. Pikachu unleashed a strong blast of 100,000 volts, followed by Espeon releasing an orb of shadows. As for Greninja, by syncing with Ash, he grabbed the shuriken on its back, throwing it. The shuriken would suddenly turn red before growing in size.
Together, their attacks struck the Tornado of Elements, trying to destroy it before it causes any more damage. Water Shuriken had cut the Tornado in half while Thunderbolt and Shadow destroyed what remained of it. However, while they succeeded in destroying the tornado, the clouds above were still holding those elements and the balcony was no more. The ground was still in shambles, having large chasms, making this entire area one big hazard.
Ash and the others started falling from high up with Noivern and Togekiss having lost their balance thanks to the tornado. The Storm King taunted them by pulling one of his eyes down, revelling in this. Ash dug into his pockets, searching for Dragonite's Poke Ball as quickly as he could before the worst could happen. But just then, catching them from falling were none other than Gardevoir and Darkrai. Gardevoir caught Ash, Pikachu and Greninja with Psychic while Darkrai managed to control the shadows, catching Tempest, Twilight and all of their Pokemon.
"You won't make it out of this one next!" The Storm King refused to let them get the chance to make a comeback, using more of the staff's power. He aimed it downwards which was a greater risk than anything else that he's done. This much power on the ground was bound to cause catastrophic damage.
"Pikachu, Makeshift Volt Tackle! Greninja, Aerial Ace!" Ash thrust his fist into the air while being levitated by Gardevoir.
"Absol, use Giga Impact! Ninetales, Flare Blitz! Togekiss, Sky Attack!"
Another combination of moves would be unleashed. And every single one of them would be direct attacks. Gardevoir was already expecting a massive outburst from this, so with her signal, she had Celestia formed a shield around the others, preparing for the worst. Pikachu and his friends were then launched into the air by Gardevoir's Psychic. Gardevoir gave them the best boost possible while Darkrai also used his shadows to shove some of them forward.
A flash of energy would go off once many of these attacks were brought into the fray. The Storm King's attack encountered this combination, making a rupturing shockwave that shattered all the windows in the Storm King's Castle. The skies lit up thanks to this clash as the end result was a tie. None of the attacks managed to go through at all. However, what did end up happening was a great outburst that Gardevoir already predicted. Everyone braced themselves as this outburst went far, tearing apart the rest of the Storm King's Castle.
The shields Celestia made for everyone here were effective as she even shielded the Storm Creatures, not wanting anyone to suffer this much damage. Everything went white for a moment before returning to normal, showing the outcome of such an outburst.
Ash and the others were soon dropped to the ground with some of them hitting it hard. They were now close to the destructive ground which was raging with the elements. Even the Storm King had taken some damage as he had landed on the huge chunk of rock that dropped back on the ground. Reshiram and Zekrom had also cushioned the blow for many others, taking massive damage. But for these two mighty Dragons, they were still standing, even if they grunted for a while, having smoke exuding out of their bodies.
"Oh, man..." Ash groaned while standing back up with Greninja. "D-Did it work?"
"Pikachu...?"
As Ash wondered that, the Storm King held onto his head as his hands were still on the staff. But even though he still had the staff, it was very clear that he had taken major damage. He was not indestructible, even with the staff and its power.
"Oh, that smarts..." The Storm King grumbled while getting back up. "But you're still a bit off, Equestria. You can't get the job done at all. And you're too late to stop the damage I've done to the world."
"It's not too late. It never is." Ash begged to differ, standing alongside his Pikachu and Greninja. Twilight, who was still weak after having so much of her magic taken away, was soon helped up by Espeon. But it was clear she needed immediate healing, unable to handle any more of this.
In response to this great disturbance to the world, Zygarde's eyes flashed green. It had gathered enough power. Its main ability was finally active. And that ability was Power Construct. Backed up by the Sea Temple, it could finally go beyond what it currently was. Beyond 50%.
Many green lights would fly out of the Order Pokemon's body, flying into the air. They would then descend back into Zygarde, but this was with the intent of changing his form into something else. This whole time, it had been using 50% of what he was capable of. Now, it was time to add 50% more to reach its peak. A green pillar that broke through the skies, erasing the Fire and Lightning that the Storm King added into the clouds, returning them to how they were. And emerging from it was Zygarde's true form.
Zygarde Complete Forme had a large, humanoid body with a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's body. There were several flat protrusions around its head and triangular protrusions around its neck. These protrusions create a crown shape. It certainly looked like a rather royal figure once it showed up. Each shoulder has two serpentine wings protruding from it. The wings all have an undulating pattern and a hexagon near the tip. Blue on the right side and red on the left.
There were multiple white protrusions on its body, three on each hand acting as claws, one on each knee, and one and the front of each foot. Across its chest is a thin, zigzagging opening that fades between five colours: red, orange, white, cyan, and blue. The chest was open, revealing five cores of each colour. Above this opening were two large green, hexagonal marks. And after making an appearance, Zygarde took flight, letting everyone witness its true form.
"W-What is that?!" The Storm King said, absolutely flabbergasted. That did not look like the Zygarde he saw before. It had the same colour scheme but it looked like a completely new Pokemon. Rainbow Dash just had to take her Pokedex out for this.
"Zygarde. The Order Pokemon. Complete Forme. This is Zygarde’s form at times when it uses its overwhelming power to suppress those who endanger the ecosystem. It has enough power to overwhelm even Xerneas or Yveltal."
"That thing's stronger than Xerneas and Yveltal?!" Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped.
"I can see it..." Rarity nodded. She was not arguing with it. Just looking at Zygarde was enough to tell everyone how powerful it is. This was a Top Tier Titan in the Pokemon World, being the Guardian of the Ecosystem and everything.
Now at the peak of its power, Complete Forme Zygarde was about to distribute immense punishment to the Storm King. And that was by using Core Enforcer. In response, the Storm King would try matching Zygarde's power, however, he still had 50%. Not enough to handle Zygarde's full power as everyone already knew how this was going to end.
"Bah! You don't scare me!" Feeling extra confident, the Storm King used everything the staff had to offer. All the power he has ever gathered was unleashed in one powerful blast. It was certainly pretty to look at but absolutely destructive. And the same can be said for Zygarde's Core Enforcer.
Zygarde Complete Forme opens the mouth on its chest and forms an orb of energy in front of it. It then fires a beam of multicoloured energy from the orb, planning to end this once and for all. It was already at its best so there was no point in prolonging this as the beam would form a light green Z-shape. A beam so loud it ripped the sound barrier, causing a sonic boom with green colours flying everywhere.
"Now's our chance! Thunderbolt! Water Shuriken!" Ash took this time to attack the Storm King's staff while had the chance, making sure it was never fired again.
"Pika...Chuuu!" While the Storm King shot out his attack, Pikachu and Greninja took action. A smaller shuriken was thrown this time, flying alongside Pikachu's Thunderbolt. And right as the Storm King's beam was about to meet with Zygarde's Core Enforcer, it fizzled out instantly.
This was thanks to Thunderbolt and Water Shuirken knocking the staff out of his hands. The Storm King gasped once he realized what had just happened. He then turned his head to face Ash and his Pokemon but the second he did so, Core Enforcer had landed. The Storm King was completely engulfed by the beam, as the ground would be drawn with a Z-Shape. Afterwards, it would explode, ending with flair.
The Staff rolled on the ground as the body of the Storm King was still there. However, his body had been turned to stone. And not in the same way that Yveltal turns others to stone. He was still alive. But right now, he was completely petrified, out of commission and unable to move.
Zygarde would then lower its massive arms, doing what needed to be done at last. Everyone looked over in wonder as the fierce skies would simmer down. The energy that was brimming in the chasms would also die down, bringing silence to the area for a moment.
But even though everything was silent, it was clear that the Storm King had been defeated. And with the King defeated, that was always the main deciding factor for a battle. Tempest Shadow couldn't believe it all. At that moment, everything she had said to Twilight prior had been thrown out of the window. She witnessed the extent of friendship and what it can do. Having friends from all across the world, whether they were average citizens or even Legends could bring something wonderful. And it showed.
As the journey continues.
Chapter 213 End.
