Epsilon:
Mutant Misty isn't going to show up again in this fic. I'm bringing her back in the sequel.
Morpher251:
You're right on the money. If you've seen Digimon, you'd know Apocalymon can use attacks from any Digimon that has ever existed. That's because he's made from dead Digimon. Mephistomon is basically an incomplete Apocalymon that was finished using Pokemon data.
Also, are you still writing your fics? I want to see how they end.
AnT:
No, my sequel isn't taking place in Coliseum.

Chapter 22: The Last Son of Apocalymon
The titanic battle between Mephistomon, Giant Pikachu, War Greymon, and Metal Garurumon continued. Each attack produced a thunderous explosion that could be heard for miles around. Mephistomon cupped his hands together and fired Shadow Ball at Giant Pikachu. In response, Ash ordered the firing of a Thunderbolt which cancelled out the Shadow Ball attack. Mephistomon dodged War Greymon's Brave Tornado and prepared for his counter.
Darkness oozed from Mephistomon's body and formed the torso of massive demonic creature. This creature had a central head and two monstrous worm-like maws for shoulders. Tai and Matt recognized the face of the central head as belonging to Myotismon. The vampiric Myotismon was one of the Digidestined's greatest foes. They concluded that this new Digimon was some sort of alternate Digivolutionary form for Myotismon that they had not seen yet.
"Screaming Darkness!" called Mephistomon.
A wave of darkness gushed out of the maws of the unknown Myotismon. Pikachu, War Greymon, and Metal Garurumon scattered and managed to dodge that attack. Mephistomon came in with a flying Hi Jump Kick which caught Pikachu in the face and flattened him. The demon oozed darkness once again, turning it into the head of a massive sea serpent, Metal Seadramon. Using its attack, River of Power, Mephistomon shot the Digimon out of the sky with coherent beams of energy.
As Pikachu recovered, Mephistomon used the Double Team ability and produced ten false copies of himself. The Electric mouse was caught dumbfounded and couldn't tell which was real. "Pika? (Huh?)"
"I know one of them is real but which one?" asked Ash.
Metal Garurumon scanned around. Despite the images appearing real, his sensors were not fooled. "Pikachu, over there on the right!"
Ash's sight locked onto the real Mephistomon. "Pikachu, Thunder!"
Pikachu gave Mephistomon a great zap with his electricity and caused him severe pain. The attack broke his concentration and caused his false images to vanish, leaving the real Mephistomon behind. War Greymon tossed a Terra Force but to his surprise, Mephistomon surrounded himself with an aura of azure light. Though the energy ball struck him and exploded, the demon withstood the attack without suffering any harm.
"A force field?" asked War Greymon.
"He's using the Protect Pokemon ability to defend himself," corrected Ash.
"How do we break through it?" asked Tai.
"Just keep hitting him," instructed Ash. "Protect breaks down if you're hit too many times."
"Okay guys, did you hear that?" asked Matt.
"Yeah!" replied War Greymon.
War Greymon led with his Brave Tornado and drilled into Mephistomon's Protect field as hard as he could. The sheer force of the attack knocked the demon back, but the shield remained intact. Pikachu followed with a Quick Attack, hitting Mephistomon with all the force of a speeding truck. The demon's protective shield collapsed and he was dazed by the hit. Metal Garurumon finished the job by spraying a blast of ice which encased Mephistomon in a block of ice.
"Yeah!" cried Tai.
"Great work everybody!" congratulated Matt.
After a burst of power, Mephistomon shattered his icy prison. "Grrr... You guys are beginning to annoy me! It's time to end this game! Mephistomon, Mega Digivolve to..."
A cloud of darkness wrapped around Mephistomon and vanished. He had undergone startling metamorphosis. The demon had become an unholy centaur-like Digimon of unfathomable size. This demonic creature had violet fur on its horse-like parts. His torso had lifeless grey skin and a horned worm-like head. On his crotch was a grotesque inhuman mouth which opened and closed of its own volition. He flapped his great mauve wings, generating hurricane force winds that threw Ash, Tai, and Matt onto their backs.
"Galfmon!"
"Pika! (Look at the size of that thing!)" exclaimed Pikachu. Indeed, Galfmon was a giant even to Giant Pikachu. Galfmon looked as tall as Ash did when Pikachu was at his normal size.
"Whoa, that's the biggest Digimon I've ever seen!" commented Ash as he tried to scan Galfmon.
====================Digimon Analyzer====================

****************************************
"Phoenixmon!" cried Sora in anguish.
The great phoenix crashed into the ground, raising a huge cloud of dust. After the air cleared, it revealed Phoenixmon lying on the ground motionless. Grand Kuwagamon clamped his mandibles around her body and began to crush her between them. Phoenixmon flapped her wings to gain height and break Grand Kuwagamon's vice-like grip. Despite her best efforts, the insect Digimon's mandibles were too strong.
"Phoenixmon, don't give up!" cheered Sora.
Phoenixmon continued to take to the skies to break free. Though Grand Kuwagamon's mandibles held onto her tight, she managed to lift him a metre off the ground. As she continued to rise, Grand Kuwagamon mirrored her movements to keep her between his mandibles. The insect Digimon renew his attempts to crush her and the pain radiated throughout Phoenixmon's body. As a desperate move, she attempted a Starlight Explosion.
Phoenixmon fanned her widely wings open and released immense amounts of Holy energy. The Starlight Explosion was painful to look at and Sora had to avert her gaze. Since this attack was made at point blank range, Grand Kuwagamon had no chance of escaping. The explosion instantly consumed the insect Digimon and blasted him to pieces. Grand Kuwagamon's remains tumbled to the ground and crumbled into data.
"Yeah! Great job, Phoenixmon!" cheered Sora.
"Thanks Sora!" replied Phoenixmon. "Hop on my back. We're going to help the others!"
Meanwhile, the heroes were struggling against the Orcs and the Demi Lich. These powerhouses were immensely strong as well as resistant to the heroes' attacks. The Demi Lich rammed itself into Machamp's body, knocking the Superpower Pokemon onto his back. The Demi Lich turned to Mega Kabuterimon and blew out Dragonbreath, a jet of emerald green flame. The electric beetle braced himself for the hit but its great force put him on his back. Using this as a diversion Brock decided to substitute Machamp out and replace him with Golbat.
"Golbat, use Wing attack!"
The bat Pokemon spread its wings and made a swooping dive at the Demi Lich. Golbat slapped its wing against his target, nearly knocking the hovering Alakazam skull upside down. The Demi Lich was angered by this intrusion, turned around, and cast a beam of crimson light from his eye sockets. Golbat began to fly around in circles in a daze and unaware of his surroundings. Brock concluded that Golbat had been struck by a Confuse Ray and withdrew him to allow him time to regain his bearings.
The great sword bearing Orc cuffed Arbok with the handle of his weapon, knocking him into the ground. "These guys are strong!" commented Jessie.
Meowth took the Orc's punch on the chin and was hurtled into the ground before Jessie and James. "Owwwww..." groaned Meowth. "Being blasted off by Pikachu actually feels good compared to this..."
The Great Sword Orc exhaled a gust of Icy Wind which trapped Weezing in a chunk of ice. "Weezing!" cried James. "You better not have hurt him, or I'll..."
"...Or you'll do what?" snarled the Great Sword Orc.
"Nothing..." replied James meekly. The Great Sword Orc made a great overhead chop at James who skittered away before the blade hit.
"I don't think we can beat these guys!" admitted a worried Mimi, as she watched an Orc freeze Lillymon within a block of ice.
Torchic exhaled a jet of fire at the Battleaxe Orc but this only made him angry rather than cause any actual damage. The Orc grabbed the Chick Pokemon and punted her into May's arms. "Oh Torchic, are you okay?"
"Tor... chic..." groaned May's Pokemon.
"I'm sorry," said May, as she retreated from the battle.
"Man, how do we beat these guys?" wondered Joe out loud. "None of our attacks keep them down for long!"
The Mace Orc bashed Whitney's Clefairy into the ground and raised his mace in preparation for the death blow. Zudomon stepped in and tossed his hammer, scoring a hit on the Orc's exposed ribs. Whitney took this opportunity to recall Clefairy and send out Miltank. The Piloswine mutant recoiled in pain from the hammer's blow and glared threateningly at Zudomon. The walrus warrior caught his returning hammer and smashed it into the ground to shoot a wave of yellow energy forward.
The Mace Orc struck the wave with his mace, which dissipated it harmlessly. The Mace Orc promptly smashed his weapon into the ground, causing an Earthquake which floored Zudomon. Just as Zudomon's opponent was about to finish him off, a jet of flame flared at the Mace Orc and burned it to a crisp. All of that remained of the Orc's body was black charcoal. Zudomon looked up to see Phoenixmon come down and drop Sora off.
"Sora, you're here!" remarked the walrus warrior.
"Uhuh, and I'm just in time too!" observed Sora.
The Great Sword Orc turned his attention back to Weezing, who was still trapped in a prison of ice. The Orc raised his sword high for power but as it swung it downward, the blade only cut the surface of the ice. Something or someone snatched the Orc by the shoulders and pulled him into the air. The Orc looked up to see that it was the golden bird, Phoenixmon, who thwarted his attempted to finish off Weezing. After gaining great height, Phoenixmon released the Orc, and he landed onto the ground with a thud.
Jessie felt the boost of morale that came with the felling of the two Orcs. "We might win this one after all!"
Phoenixmon thawed Lillymon and Weezing out of their icy prisons their partners' gratitude. Afterwards, she snatched the Battleaxe Orc and flew off to battle him away from the crowd. The battle lines redrew themselves with May being forced to sit out since her only Pokemon, Torchic, had been injured. Whitney and Zudomon joined Gary and Ritchie against the Hammer Orc, while Lillymon helped Tracey and Casey against the Spear Orc. With only the Demi Lich left, Team Rocket decided to reinforce that battle.
The battle turned in favour of the heroes since they could now concentrate more force on fewer opponents. Zudomon smashed his hammer against the ground, sending a wave of energy at the Hammer Orc. The attack scored an excellent hit on the Orc's chest which wounded him severely. Whitney's Miltank picked up speed in a Rollout and smacked the Orc in that very same spot. Gary's Magmar and Ritchie's Charmeleon, Zippo, dealt the finishing blow with Flamethrowers which reduced the Orc into charcoal.
As Tracey's Marill and Casey's Bayleef preoccupied the Spear Orc, Lillymon silently moved behind him. She took aim and fired her Flower Cannon, hitting the Orc in the back of the head. The Piloswine Mutant was stunned momentarily as it stumbled forward, but this was all that Marill and Bayleef needed to win. Marill knocked the Orc back with Water Gun as Bayleef riddled his body with Razor Leaves. The Spear Orc gave out and collapsed onto the ground.
The Demi Lich flattened Mega Kabuterimon with a Shadow Ball. However, the Alakazam skull was caught off guard when Brock's Onix Pokemon clamped on with his jaws. Onix would not let go at all, despite the Demi Lich's struggles to break free. Arbok began to Bite him, Weezing tossed Sludge, and Meowth clawed away with Fury Swipes. Team Rocket enjoyed themselves as they took free shots on their helpless victim. Mega Kabuterimon recovered and others scattered as the electric beetle blasted the Demi Lich to pieces with Horn Buster.
****************************************
Tai was concerned. "No! Our attacks have no effect!"
"Let me try!" demanded Ash. "Pikachu, Thunder!"
Pikachu called forth deadly bolts of lighting from the sky to zap Galfmon. The demonic centaur flinched in pain to Matt's surprise. "You hurt him?"
"How?" asked Tai.
"I think it's because Pikachu's electricity has Holy power in it," suggested Ash. "I don't think we can hurt him anymore unless we use Holy attacks..."
"War Greymon, Digivolve to Omnimon!" cried Tai. "You can't hurt him unless you use Holy power!"
"You too, Metal Garurumon!"
War Greymon nodded knowingly. "War Greymon..." War Greymon body turned to smoke, leaving only his helmet behind.
"Metal Garurumon..." Metal Garurumon's body did the same, and only his lupine helmet remained.
"DNA Digivolve to..."
Metal Garurumon and War Greymon's heads became the hands of the arms that extended from them. A nimbus of radiant golden light formed between the arms, taking on the shape of a humanoid body. The light subsided and revealed a humanoid figure with clawed feet. It was clad in pearly white metal armour and a crimson cape. In one motion, this new Digimon slashed with the blade in its War Greymon arm and fired a blast with the cannon in its Metal Garurumon arm.
"Omnimon!"
====================Digimon Analyzer====================
Name: Omnimon
Attribute: Vaccine
Level: Mega
Attacks: Transcendent Sword, Supreme Cannon
The hopes and dreams of people around the world brought this holy knight Digimon into existence. He is the bane of all evil and unholy Digimon and few of them can match his strength.
Galfmon oozed darkness out of his body in preparation to use a Digimon attack. The inky darkness coalesced into a demonic sorcerer in crimson robes. Upon the cry of "Evil Inferno," the image of the sorcerer expelled vast amounts of hellish flames from his hands. The flames pursued both Pikachu and Omnimon as though they had a life of their own. Omnimon darted into the sky to escape while Pikachu ran away with the help of the Agility Pokemon ability.
Once Omnimon had reached a safe distance, he braced his Supreme Cannon and fired a massive burst of Holy energy. The demonic centaur took the hit full force once again, and was stunned. Pikachu summoned a divinely empowered lightning bolt from the heavens which strike Galfmon and paralyze him momentarily. Omnimon swooped in and made a great slash across Galfmon's chest which sent him into the ground.
Though Galfmon was severely wounded by that combination, he was still not willing to quit. "I will not be beaten by the likes of you!"
After a brief struggle, Galfmon returned to his feet. He held out his three pronged claws and released a powerful Hyper Beam. The attack caught Omnimon in the chest and hurtled him backwards. To help his ally, Pikachu leapt onto the demonic centaur's back and bit into him hard. This heroic act caused Galfmon's concentration to break, as well as his beam. He screamed in pain and began bucking about randomly to throw Pikachu off. Eventually, Galfmon grabbed the little pest and clawed him.
The blow caught Pikachu's bracer and broke it in two. "Pikachu!" cried Ash.
The bracer snapped off Pikachu's arm and the Electric mouse began to feel as though he was sinking. Galfmon grew bigger by the second, but it was actually Pikachu who was shrinking. "Pika... (Uh-oh...)"
Pikachu attempted to zap him with a Thunderbolt to no avail. Galfmon simply chuckled smugly. "Ha ha ha! Just as I thought; you're nothing without Anubismon's bracer!"
"Ash, get Pikachu out of there! He can't do anything against Galfmon without that bracer!" warned Tai.
Galfmon attempted to stomp Pikachu flat but the electric mouse was too quick. Failing that, the demonic centaur used his Dead Scream technique; the ability to generate damaging sonic waves by screaming loudly. Galfmon's bellowing scream ruptured the ground behind Pikachu as he fled from as fast as he could. Omnimon intervened and slashed at Galfmon, breaking the demonic centaur's attack. Ash ran up and snatched Pikachu out of harm's way.
"Are you okay?" asked Ash.
"Pika! (Yeah, I'm fine!)" replied Pikachu.
"Without that bracer, Pikachu can't harm Galfmon. Leave the battle to us," said Matt.
Before Ash could answer, the remains of the bracer began to glow with vibrant golden light. The light blinded Galfmon completely. "What's going on?"
Elsewhere, Angewomon and Magna Angemon continued their fight with the reanimated corpses of the Legendary Birds. They were formidable opponents made even more so by their undead state. This new power didn't without a price; it gave them a weakness to Holy powers they did not have in the past. Unfortunately for them, the two angel Digimon were masters of Holy power. Each hit the angels scored on the Birds caused an excruciating, burning pain.
The bracer's light consumed the world and blinded the Birds as well. "That light!" noticed Kari.
"Where's it coming from?" wondered TK.
Whereas the light was painful to the Birds, it was empowering to the angels. The power surged within Magna Angemon and propelled him to new heights of power. "Magna Angemon, Mega Digivolve to..."
Magna Angemon released feathers as white as those of a dove. Golden light surrounded his body and formed brilliant silvery armour marked by golden holy emblems, and blue joint guards. Magna Angemon's mitre vanished in a burst of golden light, revealing the face of a handsome blond man with long hair. This light coalesced into a blue face mask with a gold cross on it. Ten wings of gold formed on the new Digimon's back as he stood at attention and radiated iridescent light.
"Seraphimon!"
The light made Angewomon's strength surge and propelled her to a new Digivolutionary level. "Angewomon, Mega Digivolve to..."
Angewomon crisscrossed her hands and gazed at the brilliant sun above her. Her helmet rose ever higher towards the sun to reveal the face of a beautiful blonde woman. She became surrounded by an aura of pink light as she transformed into a dragon. This dragon was a cat-like creature with pink fluffy fur. She was a majestic, saintly creature with ten pink angelic wings. The dragon flew in a circle and exhaled a blast of radiant golden flame.
"Magnadramon!"
"They Digivolved!" exclaimed Kari.
"...To Mega!" finished TK.
====================Digimon Analyzer====================
Name: Seraphimon
Attribute: Vaccine
Level: Mega
Attacks: Seven Heavens, Testament
This exalted Digimon stands as the highest of all angel Digimon. With his divine powers of light, no evil will escape the wrath of the Sovereigns.
====================Digimon Analyzer====================
Name: Magnadramon
Attribute: Vaccine
Level: Mega
Attacks: Holy Flame, Apocalypse
This saintly dragon was born of goodness and divine grace. She fights the forces of evil with ferocity befitting of dragon kind.
Magnadramon intercepted Undead Zapdos' electric blast with her golden fiery breath. The Holy Flame and the lightning cancelled each other out on collision explosively. Magnadramon suddenly emerged from the smoke and rammed into Undead Zapdos headfirst. Upon recovering, Undead Zapdos arced lightning from his mouth, but Magnadramon casually raised a barrier of light to defend herself. Magnadramon countered with a burst of Holy Flame which scorched Zapdos and granted the peace of death to him.
TK, Kari, Seraphimon, and Magnadramon rushed to reinforce their brothers' battle against Galfmon. "Tai! We're here!" cried Kari.
"We beat the Birds and Magna Angemon and Angewomon Digivolved!" informed TK.
"Alright!" cheered Matt.
"How did it happen?" asked Tai.
"We saw this bright golden light right and then it happened," noted Kari.
"It must be the bracer then," suspected Ash.
"Whatever it was, it worked in our favour," said TK. "Get him you guys!" The three Holy Digimon, Omnimon, Seraphimon, and Magnadramon surrounded Galfmon and prepared for their attack.
****************************************
"Okay guys, fan out and surround the area," ordered Surge over the Army Ant's radio. "When I give the signal, begin the attack."
The Liberator forces obeyed and took various positions around the bunker's area. The rebels made sure to cover each side so there was nowhere to escape. Each soldier and Pokemon took cover behind anything they could find and watched the bunker. Surge gave the command to attack. A Dragonite fired a Hyper Beam which blew an automated guns to pieces. The enemy soldiers were caught off guard and opened fire as they scrambled for cover. Pandemonium had descended on the bunker.
"Kenji, we're going in. Get ready!" warned Surge.
"Aye, Lieutenant!" replied Kenji.
The Army Ant marched into position and opened fire. Kenji's bullets chewed up a nearby automated cannon. The machine gunners opened fire on the Army Ant but its armour was too strong to penetrate. Their bullets simply ricocheted off the Army Ant's body harmlessly. Kenji swivelled the gun and unleashed a torrent of bullets at one of the machine gunners. The soldier panicked and ducked behind his sandbags for safety.
"This is for my father!" stated Kenji, as he downed one of the machine gunners with his bullets.
The battle was already underway on the outside, but was just beginning in the bunker. Several Ground type Pokemon tunnelled deep into the ground and came upon a steel plate. They had reached the bunker. The Liberator trainers released several Fire type Pokemon as others prepared to shoot whoever lurked on the other side. The Fire Pokemon applied fire to the plate and melted through it after a few seconds. The Liberators stormed inside.
The teams swept through the bunker with speed and efficiency, gunning down any enemy soldier who got in their way. The Liberators eventually found a room containing an unassuming man and several bodyguards. They had this group surrounded on all sides. The man identified himself as Kanto's President and voluntarily surrendered. They group handed their weapons over and raised their arms. The Liberators captured the rest of Kanto's ruling elite and led them out of the bunker.
Somewhere in Saffron, Team Rocket began to vacate their operations. They loaded all of their equipment into trucks as Giovanni packed his documents in his suitcases. The Team Rocket leader hopped into his limousine. "Step on it!"
The limo and trucks pulled out of a garage and entered the streets of Saffron. The Liberators' had initiated their coup and the fighting had begun. Sporadic bangs from gunfire ripped through the air from the direction of the Presidential Mansion. They people were scared and cowered in their abodes while waiting for the violence to end. A beam of coherent cut through the sky and a brilliant plume of flame burst into the sky.
Giovanni watched the battle behind him as his limo sped away. Team Rocket reached its destination, the Saffron airport. Giovanni boarded his personal plane and stroked his Persian while he waited for take off. The leader of Team Rocket looked outside and watched his underlings load equipment into several cargo planes. Feeling famished, Giovanni ordered a meal from his stewardess. The jet took to the skies for parts unknown and disappeared behind the fog of war.
The rebels captured the building swiftly and made the event known to the world. The Liberators made their victory know to the world. "We, the Liberators of Kanto, have taken the Presidential Mansion. We hereby announce our surrender to the Hoenn Alliance."
****************************************
Galfmon blew a chilling Blizzard at Magnadramon, covering her body with a thick coating of snow and ice. The demonic centaur turned to Omnimon, created Giga Cannons from the darkness that oozed from his body, and gunned the Holy Knight down. Seraphimon fired a Seven Heavens in response, but Galfmon hid behind the protective aura of the Protect Pokemon ability. The demonic centaur gathered darkness for a Shadow Ball that knocked Seraphimon out of the sky.
Tai was surprised at how much damage Galfmon could take. "Man, we pounded this guy with tons of Holy attacks! How can he still be alive?"
TK was wondering the same thing until his eyes caught sight of the Stone of Darkness. "I think we were going about this the wrong way. We keep trying to beat Galfmon by attacking him. Instead of attacking him, what if we attack his Stone of Doom instead?"
"I get it!" replied Matt. "He gets his power from the Stone of Darkness. If we get rid of it, he's done for."
"Let Omnimon take care of it," said Tai. "The rest of you concentrate on Galfmon."
The others agreed to the plan. Seraphimon and Magnadramon picked themselves off the ground and charged at Galfmon with renewed vigour. Seraphimon struck Galfmon down with a Seven Heavens that exploded with the force of a tactical nuclear strike. Magnadramon came in fast and roasted the fallen Galfmon with Holy Flame. Under the cover of his friends' diversion, Omnimon retreated from the main battle and positioned himself behind the Stone of Darkness.
He took a clean shot at the Stone and demolished a huge chunk of it. To his surprise, the darkness in the area coalesced and reformed the section he destroyed. "What gives?" wondered Matt.
Omnimon fired again, this time with all the power he could muster. The Supreme Cannon's shot punched an even larger crater, but the mountain returned to normal soon after. "It's no good!"
"Hey guys!" called Sora from the back of Phoenixmon. The others had come as reinforcements after defeating the Demi Lich and the Orcs.
"Sora, you're just in time. We need help to destroy the Stone of Darkness," requested Matt.
"It keeps repairing itself if we try to destroy it. We have to hit it so fast so it won't have time to recover," informed Ash. "Pokeballs go!"
In a flash of crimson light, Ash's Cyndaquil, Chikorita, Totodile, Noctowl, and Heracross appeared and began to demolish the mountain. The others joined in and quickly established a pattern. Zudomon ripped sections of the Stone off while Grass Pokemon used Razor Leaf to slice off sections of the mountain. Nearby, the Fire Pokemon bathed their droppings in fire to destroy them. Machamp tore a boulder of the obsidian Stone of Doom material and tossed it into the flames.
The group was gaining ground and gradually wearing the mountain away. Galfmon used his Black Requiem and hummed a grim song. His notes bathed Seraphimon and Magnadramon in auras of darkness which wracked their bodies with pain and caused them to collapse. He suddenly felt his power being eroded as the heroes chipped away at the Stone of Darkness. He promptly charged at them and interrupted their operation. The heroes scattered as Galfmon bombed the area with repeated Shadow Balls.
Phoenixmon pecked Galfmon in the face, ending his assault on the heroes. Seraphimon rejoined the battle and invoked a Testament. A column descended from the sky and flattened Galfmon in a massive explosion. Magnadramon swooped in and bathed the fallen centaur with roaring Holy Flame. They kept the pressure on and Galfmon pinned onto the ground. His body was wracked by pain and he was unable to continue his attack on the heroes.
"Take care of the Stone of Darkness. We'll keep him pinned down," said Seraphimon.
The heroes returned their attention onto the mountain and picked up the pace to make up for lost time. After what felt like an eternity, the heroes wiped out the last vestiges of the Stone of Darkness. "NOOOOOO!" cried Galfmon. "DAMN YOU ALL!"
"Everybody, let's put him away for good!" called Omnimon.
The Pokemon and Ultimate Digimon all turned their ire onto Galfmon and pelted him with their attacks. Without the Stone of Darkness, Galfmon's power was drastically reduced. This was worsened by the fact that he was fatigued fighting the Megas. Pain coursed through Galfmon's body as the Pokemon and the Ultimate Digimon maintained the pressure. Phoenixmon and Magnadramon bathed the Son of Apocalymon with an endless torrent of fiery breath as Seraphimon bombarded him with Testament.
As the coup de grace, Omnimon took aim with his Supreme Cannon and fired a single, powerful shot. It struck its target and triggered a massive explosion which tore through Galfmon. The Son of Apocalymon screamed as he was annihilated by the heroes. Once the smoke cleared, all that remained was a huge smouldering crater. The darkness over the land lifted to reveal the bright, warm afternoon sun. The heroes cheered for the war was over and the Pokemon World was free at last. Galfmon, the last Son of Apocalymon, was no more.
"We did it!" cheered Ash. "Wahoo!"
"Pika, Pika! (Hip, hip, hooray!)" echoed Pikachu.
May was elated. "We did it! I can't believe we did it!"
Word of the heroes' victory spread like wildfire through the ranks of the Liberators. They too, had a won a victory by pulling off a successful coup which overthrew Mephistomon's repressive regime. Later on, a massive victory parade was held in cities across Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto. The people cheered with a boisterousness matching that of the dawn of a new year. The confetti rained down on the heroes' float as they passed by rows of elated Saffron citizens. The party lasted until late in the night. Fireworks burst in the starry sky as the sign of victory.
During the festival, Gennai appeared to the heroes. "Great work guys! You did it!"
"Gennai, what was that bracer you gave to me?" asked Ash.
"When Galfmon broke it, it gave off this light which made Angewomon and Magna Angemon Digivolve..." informed Kari.
"That bracer was Anubimon's, as I've already told you. He put a magic spell on so that if it was ever broken, it would transfer its power to your Digimon and enable them to Digivolve to Mega," replied Gennai.
"Tell Anubismon I said 'thanks,'" requested Ash. "That bracer was a big help against Mephistomon."
"I will," promised Gennai. "Enjoy the celebration everybody, you've earned it. I have some business to take care of, so bye for now!" Gennai and the heroes waved goodbye to each other as he disappeared in a nimbus of iridescent light.
****************************************
Datamon cursed himself for listening to his superior's orders. "Damn, I knew I shouldn't have sent those Digimon out. What was I thinking? Now I'm trapped in this dump!"
Datamon started fires on nearby torches and took one with him for lighting. He scanned around, not recognizing the purpose or significance of this place. As he scanned the rooms, his scanners indicated that this ruin was more than a thousand years old. From the design, it appeared to be a temple or some other place of worship. As he combed deeper, he came across a hoard of gold and jewels. His jaw dropped as he beheld the mountains of coins and jewels.
There were enough riches there to make Datamon a millionaire. He would never have to worry about funds for his research ever again. As he wandered around the room admiring the treasure, an earthquake struck the place and knocked him onto his back. Datamon gathered as much gold as he could carry and fled the treasure chamber. As he neared the ruins' entrance, the roof above it caved in. He had been sealed inside the ruins forever.
Datamon dropped to his knees out of despair. He was rich beyond his wildest dreams, but it was worthless to him as long as he was trapped in the ruins. His spirit was broken and he moped back to the treasure room. He eventually wandered into a second chamber behind the treasure room. He had missed this room in his haste escape with the gold. At the centre of this room was a pedestal on which a large, black metal coin rested. There was the image of a wizard's face on the coin.
It looked like a rare and valuable antique. "Ah, what use is this? It can't get me out of here," thought Datamon, as he held the coin.
"Ah, but that's where you're wrong!" replied an unknown, but shady voice.
Datamon was shocked, as the voice came unexpectedly. "Who are you? Where are you? Show yourself!"
"I'm in the coin, moron!" replied the voice sarcastically. Datamon looked at the coin to find that the wizard's face was moving on its own as it spoke! "It seems your trapped just like I am, Datamon..."
"So what's it to you?" asked Datamon defiantly.
"I am a very astute and wealthy businessman, if I do say so myself. I would like to make a deal with you," replied the coin.
"...And just what is this deal?" asked Datamon.
"Both of us want to be free, so why don't we help each other? You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours. I know you are a consummate scientist. If you can free me from this coin, I can give you all the money you need for your research."
"How do I free you from this coin?"
"All you need to do is to melt it down and I'll be free."
"How? There's nothing hot enough to do that here!"
"Don't worry about that. I'll show you a way soon enough. So, do we have a deal?" asked the voice.
"Very well, it's a deal."
The End?
