And I'm back with Chapter Seven!

Chapter Seven: Aerial Assault

Ash was surprised at the speed the other Champions arrived at, most appeared with a flash of light outside the door of Professor Oaks Lab before pushing the door open and walking in silently, so far Cynthia, Lance, Steven and Diathia had all appeared, with a single nod to Professor Oak before walking towards a corner and entering into near silent whispers.

Ash looked over at them before crossing his arms, as the door opened again and a 16 year old walked in, his eyes were golden yellow and his hair jet black as he walked into the room with a measure of calm, "Yo' Professor!" he called as he walked and every head turned to look at him,

"Ethan…" Professor Oak smiled, "You got the message?"

"Yeah, Red left Mt. Silver to fight Team Rocket?" Ethan asked as he stretched, "I got it, and flew straight over…."

"Good, that means the other regional defenders will have go it too" Professor Oak nodded, "But an introduction, Ethan… this is Ash Ketchum, the first and current Champion of the Alola Region, Ash… this is Ethan Gold, Regional Defender and Potential Future Champion of the Johto Region"

Ash nodded and smiled to Ethan who walked over, "Champion of Alola? Congrats, I though only old bores… and Red ever took Championships…" he snickered as Lance looked over and frowned slightly,

"Ethan…" he said by way of a greeting.

"What's a Regional defender?" Ash asked,

"Well… we're a kinda group of trainers that stop world ending catastrophise in our own region, but you can only take the position if you beat the Elite Four and earned the right to be called Champion, I beat Lance and his Elite Four and earned the right to the Title of Champion of Johto… then I took the Champion's Pathway… and faced Red…." Ethan smiled, "I lost… and I realised that as Champion, I should be the strongest, and I wasn't so I turned down the title…"

Ash listened before frowning, about to open his mouth as the door opened again and Ash saw three more people walk in, a women with bushy hair and blue eyes, a younger male with brown bushy hair and brown eyes, that Ash swore he'd seen somewhere before and the third was a male who seemed to be in the middle of the two, he wore a white haired hat that hid his true hair colour but had stormy grey eyes.

"Hilda, Nate, Brendan!" Ethan called as he rushed over to them and smiled as the others greeted him, Ash went through a check list of who was already here, and who was yet to arrive,

Champions, Lance, Steven, Cynthia and Dianthia are here, but Alder isn't…

Regional Guardians, Ethan, Brendan, Hilda and Nate are all here, but Lucas, Blue and Calem aren't….

Frowning he wondered how long it would take for the others to arrive, and also if Red had engaged Team Rocket yet, and if he had, was he still ok?

Shaking his head he looked up at the door as it opened once again, in walked Alder looking as calm as ever as he nodded to the trainers and then walked over to speak to the other Champions, all sending worried looks around the room.

Wondering what was wrong Ash decided to take a step outside and as he did he nearly walked into another trainer, he wore all blue, which matched his eyes as his short blonde hair was tucked neatly under his hat before he smiled, "Excusez-moi" Ash stepped aside as the Kalosian trainer walked inside and smiled as he approached the other trainers, who by now had formed a tight group and were muttering to each other,

Looking up at the sky he frowned before gasping, "Somethings coming!" he called loudly and everyone rushed outside as they saw a shape moving through the clouds before they each made ready, looking up at the sky as the shape flew low enough for Ash to make it out, a Charizard, with three riders on the back…

(In the Sky)

Red scowled as Charizard twisted and flew avoiding their pursuers, as soon as they had risen into the sky on the back of Charizard they'd been set upon, a force of Grunts all using Koffing, Weezing, Zubat or Golbat, so far they'd managed to avoid the slower attacks from the Grunts but it had been close.

Several times he felt an attack ruffle his hair as it flew over his head, Green's arms holding onto him and Blue's onto her as they flew, smirking to himself, he flew down towards Pallet Town, knowing the pursuers would follow as he came close to the ground he gently moved his arms in a swift move which caused Green to let go of him as Charizard spun around, dropping both other trainers to the ground while Charizard flew up to draw fire away from them.

Both other trainers growled as they looked up into the sky and smirked as they both put fingers in their mouths and whistled, with a roar a dozen pokemon burst through barriers around the Oak Lab and rushed to the side of the two trainers, smirking they walked forward.

Blue stood with a Gyarados, Tyranitar, Alakazam, Tauros, Kingdra and around his head flew A Pidgeot while Green had Sylveon, Togekiss, Gardevoir, Ribombee, Azumarill and Mimikyu all crowding around her.

Both smirked as they sent a Pokemon to aid Red, Pidgeot and Togekiss took to the air and cut through the air

"Togekiss, use Aura Sphere!"

"Pidgeot, Use Heatwave!"

Both attacks hit a Pokemon pursuing Red, who flew Charizard down and with bursts of flame, and Dragon Pulses began to tear through the forces with ease, the trio of Pokemon flew in formation as they attacked without mercy for the grunts Pokemon.

The force of Pokemon flew away from the trio as they headed towards the ground and Red leapt off as he stood next to Blue and Green as the clouds cleared and they saw a larger group of grunts with their Pokemon, even more than had chased them.

The trio frowned before looking at one another and nodding, each withdrawing a armband from their pocket and attaching it to their wrist as they looked up and took a breath,

"Beyond Evolution!" Both Green and Blue called as they (and Red) raise the arm with the band on it, "Mega Evolve!"

In a flash of light energy waves shot from the three trainers, and hit Charizard, Pidgeot and Gardevoir and within seconds the energy formed a large sphere around each of them and after a few seconds the lights died down and the three Mega Pokemon flew there, Mega Charizard X, Mega Pidgeot and Mega Gardevoir.

The three Pokemon leapt into the air Gardevoir sent a wave of Psychic energy was fired at the oncoming Golbats, while Pidgeot flew around and hit Koffings with Air Slash, Razor Wind and Twisters as it flew and Charizard took to the sky and with one massive burst of flame hit a Weezing as it released some of its gas and caused a massive explosion that lit up the entire sky, as Alakazam Used its Psychic energy to block the flames from damaging Pallet Town.

As the battle in the sky continued the three became aware of being watched and all turned to face the Champions, Guardians and Professor Oak rushing to their side. They froze as they saw the Pallet Trio standing calmly together and turned around to watch them, each having a Pokemon ready to defend themselves if needed

Professor Oak stepped forward as he looked at the three of them, "Si je rêve, ne me réveille jamais ... si je suis réveillé, ne me laisse jamais rêver"

Ash blinked as he recognised Kalosian and the trio smirked, as Blue replied, "alors ne rêve plus Gramps"

The professor smiled widely and pulled the trio into a large hug and laughed, "I always knew you'd be back!" he laughed, "And just in time"

The trio stepped back and nodded as they looked up to the sky battle which was nearing its end, the trio's Pokemon were overwhelming Team Rockets as they pushed them back, after a few more minutes of battling, the Grunts were in full retreat as they trio recalled all of their Pokemon, except for Red's Pikachu, Blue's Kingdra and Greens Sylveon.

"Good to see you again" Cynthia said as she walked forward, Red nodded his agreement and then looked around as more figure rushed to catch up with them, Lucas, Red mused, the Regional Guardian of Sinnoh, looking around it seemed the emergency provisions had to have been activated early.

Internally sighing about how much extra danger this would put people in he shook his head, and allowed his mind to connect to Blue and Green's via the power of Espeon. We should be heading out soon, Team Rocket could use Jirachi at any time, we need to stop them as soon as possible.

Both nodded in agreement before rounding on the group, "We don't have long to be social, Team Rocket has managed to capture Jirachi" Blue called, everyone remained silent, "So we're going to take the fight to them, release Jirachi and if there is time, Arrest Giovanni"

"Where's their base?" Ethan asked, his voice urgent and worried,

"They were in Celadon City" Green replied, "But I believe they will have moved to a different place now, one of their other bases…"

Viridian Red replied calmly to their mental link, Under the Gym

"We believe they are under the Gym in Viridian City…" Blue added, "Where Giovanni used to be the Gym Leader"

"Then what are we waiting for?" Alder asked, "Let us go!"

Everyone nodded and rushed past the trio, Ash stood there with the Trio before the four joined the back of the group, rushing as they headed to Viridian City, and to battle…

And that will be Chapter Seven done!

Hope you enjoyed
