Author's Note: We've been waiting for it... All you fans out there have been dreading this day the very moment I posted this story. That's right, this is the end...

*Tries to hold back tears and ignores the deep and crushing pit forming inside the stomach*

What's worst about this story coming into the end, it's only right after the ending of the XY and XY&Z series. Which means, goodbye XY Gang! They are my favorite traveling companions ever! Not only were they all the same age (well, Bonnie's a sort-of exception), they all acted like they're weird. Which is what I love! They're not afraid to be weird since that's whole they are, and they're willing to do anything for each other! Out of all the traveling companions I've seen, never have I seen Ash so close to the XY Gang! They are the best, and I don't care what anyone else says otherwise.

Ahem, sorry. I was suppose to save my big speech at the end of this chapter. Trust me guys, this only gets even more emotional.

Before I do the shotouts, I just want to make my own shotout to Joltie! Joltie, I can't thank you enough for helping me with this story! Who would have thought the two of us, both crazy and eccentric fans and we brought of our two favorite fandoms together to life. Because you and everyone's support, my simple idea became something much more. Thank you, for being my co-partner and one of my best online friends. :)

Also, this chapter if for Steel Heart Alchemist, whose birthday is today! Happy Birthday!

SHOTOUTS-!

Joshua Ketchum: Yep! Although, I think there are some parts that Shaggy didn't want to know about.

Guest: Yeah, Ash is recovering. That's the point, me and Joltie wanted to make this difficult for you guys. ;)

Satoshi-Greninja: Thank you. I really do love that song and I think it kind of fits Ash.

Matt: Well, I mostly based off from what I know about those three. In the logical form, who would risk someone's life by going to find a monster that can do worst? Hmm, nah, his obsession with nets are still the same. You can say Ash taught him a little lesson about nets.

Blaze: Yep! Not to mention Ash got his own revenge. ;)

Lightwing: Oh, they'll celebrate it alright.

Chapter 15

It was all over, the culprit had been arrested and everything was slowly returning back to normal. All of the stolen money had been found around the city, those that Amanda hadn't been found with when the police came to arrest her. Of course, everyone who was hypnotised and arrested concerning the robberies were set free as they were being controlled by a force beyond their own comprehension at the time. The awards ceremony, albeit being held back behind schedule for some time, was planned to continue a week afterwards, to get every act ready for the rescheduling and to perfect their performances and, for one group, it was a chance to make an act from scratch after learning they were going to perform a few days after Amanda's arrest.

"Why do we have to do this?" Clemont asked the Great Dane next to him, adjusting his black tie, the shirt's white collar covered a part of the fabric perfectly so only the knot and the normally seen part could be seen. The top was tucked into his smart black trousers. The only difference in Scooby was the dark orange jacket he was wearing.

"I dunno." Scooby responded with a shrug, not really helping at all. At that moment, the other Mystery Inc. members, minus Shaggy, walked towards him, each looking different than normal. Daphne's hair was pinned up into a bun with a pearl studded headband holding back loose strands of hair. Her purple dress was straight and long, a slit up the side ended at the knees, allowing more freedom to move, her high heeled shoes matched everything, visible only when she stood in certain positions. Fred was wearing a ripped, sleeveless denim jacket with his van printed on the back over a white t-shirt, his ascot still in its normal place. His jeans wear also ripped but had studs on the lining of the pockets. Velma looked the most normal than the others. Her orange jumper was thinner and V-necked, showing a red dress underneath which had a pleated skirt, kind of like her own one. She still wore her knee lengthen socks but her shoes now looked like the ruby slippers that Dorothy wore in the Wizard of OZ.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine when you get on stage." Daphne tried to reassure him, but it wasn't working all that well.

"Big brother has all kinds of performance shyness. Camera shy… stage fright… that isn't gonna work." The group turned to see Serena and Bonnie ready, both of them standing proudly in their new outfits. Bonnie was wearing a green dress, the skirt of it a paler colour than everything else with lines that made it look like a upside down bulb. The dark patches on the body of the dress looked like the ones found on a Bulbasaur. She wore a cute green version of her normal shoes. Serena had a fifties-inspired dress, white in colour, with flame sequin patterns running up the sides. Her short hair was styled into a tiny ponytail with a bright red band and red ballet pumps.

"Ta da! What do you think?" Serena asked, with the reactions being varied throughout. Daphne clapped her hands together with glee whilst the others just simply smiled.

"Great Serena, you two look great." Fred said with a grin. Shaggy jumped out of nowhere, tie dye shirt, headband, baggy trousers, sandals and all.

"Like, who's ready to rock?!" He noticed all of the bewildered/unamused looks he was getting and let out a cough. "Hey, where's Ash?"

"Here." Everyone turned as the two Ketchums walked towards them, Taku in a black tuxedo with a white shirt and red tie whilst his nephew has, for the first time in forever, hat less, wearing a short sleeved denim jacket over a dark grey t-shirt with his normal trousers and shoes however his fingerless gloves had a blue band around them instead of a red one. "Just had a bit of the nerves. I'm sure you'll all do fine, now if you'll excuse me." The millionaire left, as he was the announcer for their group which had been named "Mysteries of Kalos", guess whose inventive idea that was. Hint, their name is Fred.

"You okay?" Serena asked her crush who nodded, Pikachu rubbing into his cheek from his shoulder.

"Yeah, I've just never performed in front of such a huge crowd before." Ash admitted, looking at the ground nervously. "I'm scared, okay?"

"It'll be fine. Trust me; I've had to do what you've done." Velma said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Once you get lost into the music, everything else fades away." Before anyone could say anything, the last award winner walked past them, with the backstage crew asking them to take their places. Oh well, it was time.

Taku walked on stage towards the microphone that he knew his nephew would be standing at in a few moments time, which filled him with pride. He cleared his throat and leaned into the mic.

"Hello everyone, I am extremely happy to introduce the next act onto the stage as they hold a space in my heart. They are the reason this event is still continuing, please welcome onto the stage, Mysteries of Kalos!" He walked off, hearing the cheering ringing in his ears knowing that this was going to be good.

The lights came on to the stage, revealing everyone in their places. Scooby and Clemont were manning the two drum kits with Fred, Velma, Shaggy and Bonnie taking on the electric guitars. Serena was standing behind a normal keyboard whilst Daphne had an electronic one hanging in front of her with a strap. With a deep sigh, Ash leaned closer towards the microphone in the stand, right hand clutching the top as nerves ran through him. The first few chords started on the guitars and immediately, the song was in full swing.

"What's new Scooby Doo?
We're coming after you,
You're gonna solve that mystery.
I see you Scooby Doo,
The trail leads back to you.
What's new Scooby Doo?"

As soon as the first few bars were over, everyone began melting into the song, the nerves vanishing immediately as the audience faded away. Everything was played or sung with more passion, more confidence and more enjoyment with what was happening.

"What's new Scooby Doo?
We're coming after you,
You're gonna solve that mystery.
I see you Scooby Doo,
The trail leads back to you.
What's new Scooby Doo?"

It didn't take a moment to realise that everyone was acting professionally, for their first ever performance. Well, in the children's case that was, the others had performed before as a part of a band. Their bodies were moving to the music, not because they were forcing their bodies to move. The audience were getting extremely involved, the catchy tune and repetitive lyrics with a sweet, soothing voice made ear candy for them to listen too.

"Don't look back, you may find another clue.
The Scooby snacks will be waiting here for you."

An instrumental break was added, the guitar solos starting first causing Fred to release his inner rock god, which was hilarious to watch but not so hilarious to be standing right next to as his yelling could easily burst the eardrums. That solo made way for the two keyboard playing girls with the normal beat having been toned down to hear them, finishing off with an all-out coolness battle on the drums, which surprisingly the gang would have said Clemont might have just won with a slight victory over Scooby.

"What's new Scooby Doo?
We're coming after you,
You're gonna solve that mystery.
I see you Scooby Doo
The trail leads back to you
What's new Scooby Doo?"

Shaggy, for some reason, suddenly dropped his guitar and ran to the edge of the stage, flinging himself off hoping that the standing audience would catch him and send him in a wave over their heads. Maybe it was the hippy clothing or his desperateness for the action but no one went to catch him, causing Shaggy to land on the ground painfully. The Mystery Inc. members winced in pain whilst the children and their Pokémon made concerned yet sympathetic faces as they continued with the performance.

"What's new Scooby Doo?
We're coming after you,
You're gonna solve that mystery.
I see you Scooby Doo
The trail leads back to you
What's new Scooby Doo?"

At the front of the stage, Pikachu and Dedenne were miming rocking out along with the music, both of them air guitaring cutely which must have been a good idea as the audience was loving it, some of the people cooing at the Pokémon whilst others called out to the Pokémon, asking to hire them for performances, which those who weren't focused on moving their mouth singing, aww-ed at.

"Don't look back, you may find another clue.
The Scooby snacks will be waiting here for you."

Some of the more mobile instrument players, excluding Shaggy who had painfully made his way back up on stage and returned to his guitar playing duties, had begun dancing. Serena would incorporate a twirl into her short break whilst Bonnie would jump up and down, even jumping backwards with an extended leg like a true rocker. Daphne would spin around the stage before back to back rocking out with Fred. Velma remained static, just because she'd become to embarrassed if she tried to dance with her guitar.

"What's new Scooby Doo?
We're coming after you,
You're gonna solve that mystery.
I see you Scooby Doo
The trail leads back to you,
What's new Scooby Doo?"

The end was painfully near and no one wanted it to stop. For people who were completely scared about this only a few minutes ago, they had taken to the stage really well, especially Clemont who was head banging in time to the beat. And, as the group continued to perform, they felt a sense of relief that it hadn't been a total failure.

"Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
What's new Scooby Doo?!"

Scooby decided to end with a little drum solo of his own as the audience began clapping loudly, some even yelling and applauding more than any of the other acts. And as everyone stood in shock to their response from those in the seats, one of them was grinning like mad. He pulled all of the others into a hug before they lined up professionally to either bow or curtsey, whichever they wished. As Scooby returned to normal, he grinned and yelled out…

"Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"

Author's Note: Do you guys ever get the feeling that you want to cry, but you can't? That's me! GOD DANGIT EYES! CRY FOR PETE'S SAKE!

Ahem, no one saw anything.

So, this is the end. I just want to say, thank you everyone for supporting me with this. Before I started all of this, I was just a simple girl trying to make it through life and wanted to bring her imagination to life. I would have never imagine this series getting this far without all of you support. What was just an idea became something real, the relationship between Shaggy, Scooby, and the kids became real. And I can't thank you all enough.

And Steel, I just want to say this is not only my birthday gift to you, but my appreciation for everything you've done yo me. It's because of your love for this crossover and using that love to make your own story. If it weren't for you, I would have never gotten the inspiration to continue this series, get the chance to know Joltie, who has become one of my best online friends, and be able to bring smiles to people like you. For that, I can't thank you enough, but I just wanna let you know that you're one of my best online friends, and that is something that means a lot to me. :)

Wow, I really wish I can cry right now. I'm even listening to Miley Cyrus and Emily Osment's song Wherever I Go. If you guys wanna get more emotional, listen to that song. It fits the mood to this story and the ending of the XY Series so well.

Now, this is goodbye. I hope you all enjoyed this, and maybe I will see again in another story.

Bye guys.
