Ashlyn and the gang were arriving at LaRousse City by a monorail. Brock was looking at LaRousse City in the guidebook and it said that LaRousse City was the most advanced technologic city in all of Hoenn. On the way there, they ran into Drew. When asked why he was here. He told them that he was visiting his hometown for a little bit. Apparently, Ashlyn and May's coordinator rival Drew lived in LaRousse City.
"It's going to be great to see what your hometown looks like, Drew." May said.
"Well let's just say that you might be impressed by it, May." Drew commented.
=========================
As soon as the gang got off the monorail and entered the city, a cube shaped robot welcomed them. Then it took their photos for citizenship I.D. This was a rule in LaRousse City; everyone in LaRousse City had to have a passport for security and other things. The robot explained that the gang had to keep their passports at all times and that could be used for shopping and other things. May wasn't too happy with her passport photo because she was surprised by the sudden camera, that she didn't have the chance to do a perfect smile.
"I am so not keeping this for a souvenir." she grumbled.
"It could be worse." Max commented.
==========================
There were lots of things to do and see in LaRousse City. But the thing that they wanted to do first was go to the battle tower. The battle tower was a building in LaRousse City where trainers could battle each other, and Ashlyn and Alain wanted to battle there.
"Where is the battle tower, Drew?" Ashlyn asked.
As soon as she said that, she and Tesla suddenly ended up being moved by some travelators. Ashlyn quickly used her psychic powers and landed near Alain and the others. Ashlyn and Tesla let out sighs of relief.
"That was a close one." Ashlyn commented.
"Well you got to be careful on those travelators." Drew warned.
"They can be a bit tricky." said a male voice.
The voice belonged to a brown-haired boy whose name was Rafe. With him were his two young twin sisters, Audrey and Kathryn, and their friends Rebecca and Sid. Audrey had a Masquerain, Kathryn had a Surskit, Rebecca had a Metagross and Sid had a Blastoise.
Brock was about to flirt with her, but Max grabbed his ear before he got the chance.
The gang and Drew introduced themselves.
"Hey, you're kinda cute." Sid complimented May.
"Uh, 'kinda'?" May sweat-dropped.
Drew sweat-dropped as well.
Max's glasses shined, "And kinda crazy too."
"By the way, we're trying to get to the Battle Tower. Do you know where it is?" Ashlyn asked.
"What a coincidence, we are heading there too," Rafe said, "Come with us and we'll lead you lot there."
Ashlyn and Alain were happy to know that someone knew the way to the battle tower.
=============================
When they reached the Battle Tower, Ashlyn and Alain were trying to find the registration area for the battle tower, while May, Max, Drew and Brock looked for the stands. The battle tower was a big building, and it was much like a huge shopping mall. Ashlyn, Alain and Tesla had no idea where they were supposed to go and ended up at a library.
Just then they noticed someone coming out of the library. Ashlyn recognized the boy as Tory.
"Excuse me, could you tell us where the registration area is?" Alain asked.
But Tory ran away from them as soon as he saw them.
"Was it something I said?" Alain asked, in confusion.
"It wasn't us he was running away from, he was running from Tesla," Ashlyn answered, "I sense that boy has got a nasty case of Poképhobia."
"Poor kid. I wonder how he got it." Alain commented.
"Yeah," Ashlyn nodded, "Well I guess we have to find someone else then."
Sure enough they found a woman who knew the way. Thanks to the woman, Ashlyn and Alain found the entrance way to the battle tower. They had to get by a travelator and an escalator to get to the battle arena, but they soon made it.
"Ready, Alain?" Ashlyn asked.
"Ready, Ashlyn." Alain answered.
This battle was a tag team battle. Ashlyn and Alain's opponents were Rafe and Sid. May, Max, Drew and Brock were in the seats with Audrey and Kathryn.
"Blaziken, let's go!" Rafe sent out his Blaziken.
"Gyarados, let's go!" Alain sent out his Gyarados.
"Tesla, come on out!" Ashlyn sent out her Raichu.
"Blastoise, I choose you!" Sid sent out his Blastoise.
"Blaziken, use Blaze Kick!" Blaziken made fire come out from its foot when it was ready to kick Tesla.
"Gyarados, defend Tesla with Water Gun!"
Blaziken's fiery foot got hit by the water gun attack and Blaziken got pushed onto the floor.
"Blastoise, Rapid Spin on Gyarados!" Blastoise headed towards Gyarados.
"Tesla, Iron Tail on Blastoise!"
"Gyarados, use Iron Tail too!"
Gyarados struck Blastoise while it was still spinning in the shell. It was like a game of hockey with Gyarados and Tesla as the sticks and Blastoise as the puck. Blastoise also hit Blaziken after it got hit by Tesla.
"Okay together now, Ashlyn." Alain said.
"Oh yeah." Ashlyn grinned.
"Tesla, Thunder!" Ashlyn ordered.
"Gyarados, Hydro Pump!" Alain commanded.
Blastoise and Blaziken both got hit by Hydro Pump first and then they got struck by the Thunder attack. After that they fainted, making Ashlyn and Alain the winner of the match. Ashlyn and Alain high fived each other and then thanked their Pokémon, the audience cheered for them from the stadiums.
================================
When the battle was over, Ashlyn and Alain exited the battle arena. Then at that moment they saw Tory again.
"Hi there." Ashlyn greeted.
But Tory ran away from her as soon as he saw Tesla.
"His fear of Pokémon is a real serious one." Alain commented.
"Indeed it is." A female voice agreed.
The two turned at the voice and saw a woman. Ashlyn recognized her as Yuko.
============================
Yuko invited the gang and Drew for a drink at a café and then she explained to them about the stampede incident that Tory had with Spheals, Sealeos and Walreins four years ago.
"Before then Tory really loved Pokémon, and his father, Prof Lund, and I still think he does. But because of that accident, Tory has been afraid of them ever since; he's even afraid to go near them and touch them." Yuko explained.
"I can understand that," Ashlyn understood, "a Pokémon stampede can be very frightening, so it's no wonder Tory has Poképhobia."
"Prof. Lund and I really want to help Tory overcome his fear of Pokémon, but we don't know what we can do." Yuko admitted.
Ashlyn had an idea. "Maybe we can help Tory overcome his fear of Pokémon," she suggested, "I mean since we're Pokémon trainers, we can show Tory that not all Pokémon are scary."
The others liked that idea and so did Yuko.
"We must take it slowly and gently with Tory though." Brock reminded them.
So the gang decided to help Tory and Yuko thanked them for wanting to help.
===============================
At that time Tory was walking around the park of LaRousse City. He was still feeling a bit jittery from seeing Tesla as well as feeling ashamed of being so scared of Pokémon. Just then a Plusle came up to Tory; it's partner Minun had got stuck in an automatic rubbish bin. Automatic rubbish bins were other machines that LaRousse City had. Tory was hesitant to help Minun at first because of his fear, but he hated seeing it in trouble, so he helped get it out. Plusle and Minun were grateful to Tory and they wanted to hug him, but Tory ran away in fear. Plusle and Minun were confused by Tory but they went off to play somewhere else.
==============================
Right then Tory entered a greenhouse garden and he was calling out to someone. This someone was more of a something really; it was a green wisp.
"I met some Pokémon trainers and some Pokémon today," Tory said to the green wisp, "and I also helped out a Plusle and Minun, but as usual I was scared of them."
"Hey who are you talking too?" Alain asked.
Ashlyn and Alain had found Tory first and had followed him to the greenhouse.
"Who are you talking to?" Ashlyn asked.
"It's none of your business. Leave me alone!" Tory ordered and ran out of the greenhouse.
It was clear to Ashlyn and Alain that Tory didn't like being around Pokémon trainers because of Pokémon. But the two weren't willing to give up yet. They got out of the greenhouse and followed after Tory.
"Come on Tory, we just want to speak to you!" Ashlyn called out.
"Go away!" Tory shouted, in surprise.
Ashlyn started to get a bit cross and Tesla went in front of Tory, which made Tory stop in his tracks.
"We understand that you are scared of Pokémon," Ashlyn explained, a bit crossly, "but that doesn't mean you can be rude to us!"
"Easy Ashlyn." Alain said, placing his hand on her head, calming her down.
Just then May, Max and Brock turned up. Brock invited Tory to have some lunch with them at the park, and Tory reluctantly agreed.
==============================
Brock had made a cheese fondue and cut up lots of slices of bread to eat it with.
Next Brock made a lot of Pokémon food for Tesla and the others. At that moment some wild Pokémon turned up; a Seedot a few Shroomish and a few Zigzagoon, and Brock gave them some food.
"Do you want to know how I met Tesla?" Ashlyn suggested.
"How?" Tory asked, curious.
"I met Tesla when I was very little. Poor thing was malnourished and beat up. I took her to Prof. Oak, a Pokémon professor, to help her. As I took care of her, we bonded. Once she was healed, I had asked my mom if I could keep her, and my mom said 'yes'. We've been together ever since." Ashlyn explained.
"Wow. That's amazing." Tory commented, "There's something I curious about Tesla."
"What's that?" Ashlyn asked.
"Why is she smaller than the other Raichu?" Tory questioned.
"Truth be told, she's actually a runt." Ashlyn answered.
"Really?" Tory asked.
"Yeah. I believe that's what makes her so special." Ashlyn replied.
"Wow." Tory awed at that.
Tesla went up to Tory so that he could pet them. Tory tried to move his hand but pulled it back.
"I'm sorry." he apologized to the gang and ran off again.
Ashlyn sighed, "This is going to be harder than we thought."
"No kidding." Alain agreed as he rubbed his temple.
"I'm sure he'll come round to us." Brock assured.
Just then Max noticed something; it was a Munchlax eating the cheese fondue and bread.
"Hey! A Munchlax!" Max beamed.
"Oh-oh, Munchlax loves to eat as much as it's evolved form, Snorlax." Brock informed, who knew that Munchlax was the pre-evolved form of Snorlax.
"Well I guess it's doing what it loves," May commented, "Hey you! That was our lunch!"
May ran towards Munchlax, but it jumped high in the air and landed with on the ground while standing up. It scratched its side and walked off.
"Wow." The gang said in unison.
Just then Plusle and Minun showed up and Tesla shared her food with them.
===============================
That night the gang, Drew, Rafe, Audrey, Kathryn, Rebecca and Sid were staying the night at a Pokémon center, when they noticed the aurora light.
"There's that light in the sky again!" Max said.
Everyone was awed by the beauty of the aurora light. Elena knew that it's Deoxys, trying to find its friend at the moment.
"Amazing." Alain awed.
"It's beautiful." May commented.
Rebecca, who seemed to be a computer nerd, was studying the aurora light on her laptop. "But that's impossible." She said.
"What is?" Kathryn asked.
"That's called an 'aurora'. But it can only be seen at the North and South Poles, not anywhere else. Strange." Rebecca informed.
"Well then I guess we're lucky to be able to see it here, right?" May guessed.
"I guess I have to agree with you." Drew admitted.
Sid stood next to May, "The same kind of luck that you and me together, right May?" He asked.
May sweat-dropped, "Not sure what kind of luck was." She commented.
Ashlyn, Alain, Max and Drew sweat-dropped at that.
"Great, another Brock." Ashlyn muttered.
"One is already enough." Alain added.
"Yeah." Max agreed.
Brock got right in front of Rebecca's computer, "Hi beautiful. If you're looking for a real phenomenon, stop looking in your computer and spend some time with me!" He pleaded.
Then Max grabbed his ear and pulled him away, "Okay, you leave her alone! That's a phenomenon." He ordered.
Audrey and Kathyrn giggled at the scene.
"Ashlyn, is something wrong?" Alain asked.
"I'm sensing a psychic energy from that light," Ashlyn replied, "and I feel that it's saying something."
"I wonder what it could be." Alain commented.
Just then Rafe came up to Ashlyn and Alain.
"You two were quite impressive in our battle today," Rafe complimented the two, "I would like to battle you two again, but this time I'll win."
"We'll see about that." Ashlyn said, accepting the battle offer.
"Uh, hello?" A male voice called out.
Everyone turned to the voice and saw Tory standing at the door.
"Tory? What are you doing here?" Ashlyn questioned.
"I brought some cookies. Yuko and I made them for all of you." Tory said as he opened up a basket of Pokémon cookies.
"Wow." Audrey, Kathryn, and Max awed.
"Cool Pokémon cookies." Max commented.
"Cute." Audrey added.
"Yummy." Kathryn added.
==========================
Everyone decided to spend the rest of the evening in the park with their Pokémon and Tory, before it was time for bed. Rafe sent out his Blaziken, Audrey and Kathryn sent out Surskit and Masquerain and Sid sent out his Blastoise. Ashlyn sent out Finn, Percy, Kazuki, Helia, Miku, Shula, Lela, Talos, Damini, and Alta. Alain sent out Electrike, Grovyle, Torkoal, Salamence, Blaziken and Lairon. May sent out Combusken, Swablu, Beautifly, Skitty, Bulbasaur and Marill. Max sent out Loudred, Mightyena, Zigzagoon, Shuppet, Spinda and Castform. Brock sent out Marshtomp, Forretress, Lombre and Loudred. Everyone had a great time together in the park; playing on the swings, slides and climbing frames and of course playing chase with each other. Even Tory was enjoying himself.
===============================
Later on, Alain, Tory and Ashlyn were having a talk with each other. Tory explained to Ashlyn and Alain that since he was afraid of Pokémon, he was afraid to get close to Pokémon trainers and other kids who owned and liked Pokémon. "So I've never really had any friends to hang out with like today."
Ashlyn felt really sorry for Tory now. "I understand that Pokémon stampede you got caught in was scary, because I've seen and gotten caught in a Pokémon stampede too." She stated.
"But your incident happened four years ago. And it's natural for Pokémon to act like that when they've been scared or threatened. I know it's hard to overcome a fear, but not all Pokémon are scary." Alain stated.
"Believe us." Ashlyn added.
Tory started to feel that he had found a friend in Alain and Ashlyn. Tesla tried to get close to Tory, but Tory was still too scared to touch Tesla.
Ashlyn went over to Tory and held his hand, "There's no rush, Tory." She assured him.
Alain placed his right hand on Tory's head, "Take your time."
Tory let out a sigh, "Thanks, Ashlyn, Alain." He thanked the two.
=============================
The next day Tory brought everyone to greenhouse garden. A security bot asked for a passport for identification; it was the security bots' job to be on the lookout for trouble and bad people. Tory explained that his dad's lab was nearby which is why lots of security bots were around. Tory called out to the green wisp again and introduced it to everyone. Rebecca was amazed with this and recorded it on her laptop at once. The others were amazed by this as well.
"What is it?" Sid asked.
"It's gorgeous." May beamed.
"Is this a Pokémon?" Audrey asked.
"Nothing that I've seen." Max replied.
"Wow." Drew awed.
"Well this little guy has always been here for me whenever I call for it." Tory explained.
"Interesting." Alain observed.
The wisp floated over to Ashlyn and Tesla. 'I feel a psychic energy from this thing. It feels like a psychic Pokémon. You're Deoxys, aren't you?'
===============================
Later on in the greenhouse, the gang heard an alarm going off.
"Sounds like an emergency is going on." Drew said.
"We better go, it sounds serious." Brock suggested.
Everyone agreed and they headed for the door. But when Tory tried to use his passport to open it, it wouldn't work.
"What's wrong?" Alain asked.
"I don't know, but something is." Tory replied.
"The power must be malfunctioning because of this emergency that's going on." Rafe guessed.
"Tory, do you know your father's phone number? Maybe we can call him and he'll tell us what's going on." Ashlyn asked.
"Sure." Tory replied and Alain handed his Holo Caster to Tory and dialed the phone.
A few seconds later, Prof. Lund answered the phone, "[Tory? Is that you? Where are you?]" He questioned.
"Me and some friends are at the greenhouse. We're unable to get out," Tory informed, "Do you know what's going on?"
"[I'm afraid that it's really bad, Tory.]" Prof. Lund replied, grimly.
"What do you mean?" Tory questioned, worried.
"[Deoxys has appeared in the city.]" Prof. Lund answered.
"Deoxys?" Alain asked, surprised.
"[Yes, it's creating clones of itself and taking people. But we don't know why it's doing all this.]" Prof. Lund informed.
Suddenly they heard a loud roar on the other side of the caster.
"Dad, what was that?" Tory asked, scared.
"[Rayquaza's here as well. For some strange reason, Deoxys has placed a force field around the city. Rayquaza seems determined to break down it down.]" Prof. Lund replied.
"Rayquaza?!" Rebecca gasped.
"Why's Rayquaza here?" Drew asked, shocked.
"[Prof. Lund, the power's going out!]" Yuko gasped.
Suddenly the Holo Caster turned off. Tory stared at the holo caster for a moment and handed the caster back to Alain.
"Tory, do you know another way out of here?" Ashlyn asked.
"Yeah, I do. There's an emergency underground passage that we can take." Tory replied.
"Alright, lead the way." Ashlyn said.
=========================
Tory led the group through the passage. Luckily, they ran into Yuko who stayed behind. She led them to Prof. Lund's lab where Prof. Lund was waiting.
He spotted Tory and they hugged, both relieved that they were both okay.
"Thank goodness you're alright." Prof. Lund said with relief.
"Prof. Lund, Yuko, what is going on?" May asked.
"Because of the force field that Deoxys has created, it's impossible to get in or out of LaRousse City, and that the power was down so nothing worked including the phones." Prof. Lund explained.
"They switched to back up generators, but all systems are still down. Even the Pokéball managing system isn't functioning." Rebecca said as she tried to open her Pokéball, but it didn't.
The others tried, but with no luck.
"What's the deal with Deoxys?" Ashlyn asked.
"Deoxys?" May asked.
Ashlyn knew Deoxys was a Pokémon that lived in outer space and its ability to change its forms. But she also knew why Deoxys was here in LaRousse City.
"Deoxys is a Pokémon from outer space." Yuko replied.
"What?" Max gasped.
"Outer space?!" Sid gasped.
"Four years ago, a meteorite came and struck the North Pole and located inside of it was a completely unknown Pokémon." Yuko explained.
"I gave Deoxys that name," Prof. Lund added, "Almost immediately, Rayquaza appeared from the O-Zone and attacked Deoxys."
"I remember reading that Rayquaza hates it when anyone or anything invades its territory, so it's obvious that Rayquaza attacked Deoxys because it wound up in its territory." Ashlyn said.
"So Rayquaza must be carrying a grudge of some sort." Alain guessed.
"What happened to Deoxys?" May asked.
"Deoxys vanished deep into the sea." Yuko replied.
"I don't get it. How can it be the same Deoxys?" Brock questioned.
"After its defeat, Deoxys must have slowly regenerated itself these past four years." Prof. Lund answered.
"Regenerating?" Rebecca asked.
"That's right. Deoxys has astounding regenerative powers." Yuko replied.
"And ever since that time we've been studying Deoxys." Prof. Lund added.
"This sounds more like science fiction. This is something I would love to research." Rebecca commented.
Suddenly there was a noise coming from an air vent of the building. Everyone feared that it was Deoxys trying to get in, so Ashlyn and Alain ran over to the vent to see what it was. But it wasn't Deoxys; it was just Plusle, Minun and Munchlax.
"It's Plusle and Minun!" Tory gasped.
"And Munchlax!" Max beamed.
"We're so glad that you're alright." Kathryn smiled.
"Well I'm not happy about Munchlax." May grumbled.
"You're still going to hang on to that, aren't ya'?" Max muttered.
Plusle and Minun were happy to see Tory again, but as usual Tory was afraid of them.
===========================
By now it was very dark and everyone was getting hungry. So there were three things to sort out; one, figure out what Deoxys was up to, two, figure out where everyone, who Deoxys took, were being kept and three gather up food and water. Rebecca, Sid and Rafe decided to find out where the Deoxys clones took everyone while Ashlyn, Alain, Tory and Brock decided to go find food and water. May, Drew, Max, Audrey and Kathryn stayed in the lab with Yuko and Prof. Lund for safety.
Ashlyn, Alain, Tory and Brock found a hotdog vendor machine, but without the power they couldn't use the passport to get any. Just then Tesla used Thunder Shock and the machine turned on with hotdogs coming out like crazy. Suddenly, two Deoxys clones showed up.
"Run!" Brock shouted.
He, Ashlyn, Alain and Tory dropped the hotdogs they gathered and started to run away. Just then Plusle and Minun turned up and used Thunderbolt to distract the clones; they had been worried about Tory. The Deoxys clones grabbed onto Plusle and Minun to carry them away. Ashlyn, Alain and Tesla managed to save Plusle, but Minun got carried away. Ashlyn, Alain, Brock, Tory, Plusle and Tesla ran away again, and they got to safety by hiding in a storage room.
They let out sighs of relief.
"We're safe." Brock said.
"For now." Alain added.
Tory turned to the saddened Plusle, "Oh Plusle, it's all my fault. I should have..." He tried to reach out to Plusle who had tears in the corner of its eyes. But he pulled it back, "I'm sorry."
Tesla walked over to Plusle and rubbed its back, giving it comfort. Ashlyn and Alain stared Tory and Plusle with sadness. They knew that Tory was beating himself up pretty hard for Minun being captured because he couldn't do anything to help it.
"Ashlyn, Alain, look what I just found." Brock said.
The two walked over to Brock and saw boxes of bottles of fresh water and packets of food.
"Let's take these back to the others." Brock decided.
"Lets." Alain agreed.
"And let's hope this time the Deoxys clones don't bother us." Ashlyn added.
=========================
When everyone got back to the lab everyone had something to eat and got some sleep, Prof. Lund and Yuko looked at the recordings of Deoxys that Rebecca had made on her laptop. Suddenly the peace was disturbed; the Deoxys clones had turned up and everyone woke up.
"Follow me, everyone." Prof. Luna instructed.
Everyone followed after Prof. Lund and Yuko who led them downstairs which was an underground lab.
"We'll be safe in the underground lab for the time being." Yuko assured them once they all reached the underground lab.
===============================
Inside the underground lab, the group saw the green meteorite in the glass tube. Prof. Lund and Yuko explained that at the North Pole four years ago two meteorites crashed to earth. Also that the green meteorite was actually a part of another Deoxys.
"I remember seeing in my Pokémon book that Deoxys has a crystal in the middle of its chest." Ashlyn informed.
"But their crystals are really purple and this one is green." Alain added.
"That's correct." Yuko confirmed.
"Ever since that incident four years ago, we've been trying to regenerate the other Deoxys as well as study it." Prof. Lund stated.
Just then the green wisp, Tory's friend, appeared from the crystal.
"What?" Yuko blinked in shock.
"Tory, that's your friend." Ashlyn smiled.
"Wait a sec, then that means that Tory's friend..." May trailed off.
Rebecca nodded, "That's right. It's Deoxys." She confirmed.
"Unbelievable." Prof. Lund with wide eyes.
"That also means that you've been friends with a Pokémon all this time without even knowing it, Tory." Alain commented.
"Wow." Tory awed at the green wisp.
Rebecca looked up on her laptop of the light waves from the green wisp and the aurora from Deoxys, "That's it! It all makes sense." She confirmed.
"What makes sense?" Sid asked.
Rebecca showed them the light waves from Tory's friend and the aurora that covered LaRousse City.
"They're the same." Brock concluded.
"I reckon that using aurora is how Deoxys communicate with each other." Rebecca theorized.
"You know when we saw the purple aurora the other night, I felt that it was saying something." Ashlyn commented.
"I think so too. Hold on, let me check something," Rebecca said. She found that the two lights were saying something; the green light said 'friend' and the purple light said 'where are you?'
"Then the answer to all this is simple; if we regenerate the Deoxys here, then it and the other Deoxys will find each other and then they will go home again." Ashlyn explained.
"Yes we have to regenerate it," Tory agreed, "I can't stand these two being separate from each other anymore."
"We could, but we don't have any power to do it." Prof. Lund pointed out.
"Then we need to go to where the windmills are to get them going again." Rebecca said.
"And we also need to head to the dome where the people are being held captive." Rafe added.
Everyone agreed on a plan; Ashlyn, Alain, Tory, and Rafe would head off for the dome, and the others would head off for the windmills, Prof. Lund and Yuko would stay behind to get the machines ready.
============================
After the planning, everyone including Munchlax and Plusle headed off for their destinations at once. But then they ran into Deoxys. Ashlyn tried calling out to Deoxys saying that they knew that it was trying to find its friend, but it wouldn't listen and started multiplying again. Rafe and his Blaziken fought off the clones, while everyone else continued to run. But then the clones surrounded and captured Rafe and Blaziken.
============================
Meanwhile Rayquaza, who had been fighting the force field to get in, had managed to break through the force field with Hyper Beam and it entered the city. When Rayquaza and Deoxys saw each other, the fight was soon on. The group saw Rayquaza too, which made Ashlyn and Alain amazed, but this wasn't the time to do anything about it. Ashlyn, Alain, Tory, Tesla and Plusle headed for the dome while the others headed for the windmills.
===========================
At the dome, Rafe was trying to see if he could open the dome up from the inside, but he still needed electricity for it. Just then Ashlyn, Alain and Tory turned up. Rafe saw then from a window and told them to have Tesla and Plusle use their electricity on the outside. While Tesla and Plusle used thunder shock on the outside, Minun used its thunderbolt on the inside. Thanks to the electricity Rafe got the dorm open and everyone got out at once. Plusle and Minun were happy to be together again and so was Tory.
"Thanks Ashlyn, Alain." Rafe thanked the two.
Rafe then told everyone that they had to get to the windmills to get the power back on and everyone agreed to help. Ashlyn, Alain, Tesla and Tory left with Plusle and Minun to get back to the lab.
==================================
At the windmills Brock and Rebecca got into the control rooms to get ready to set them up. Just then Rafe and everyone else from the dome turned up. Everyone got to work at once to get the windmills to create power. The humans pulled on some ropes from two of the windmills to get them going, water Pokémon used water gun on some, and the flying Pokémon used their wings. Metagross used psychic and Blaziken jumped on the propellers of a windmill. Jessie, James and Meowth helped out too by using pedal power to get a windmill running.
============================
At the labs there was power going on, which showed Ashlyn, Alain, Tory, Prof. Lund and Yuko that the others succeeded. Prof. Lund and Yuko got the machines on to help the other Deoxys regenerate, and Tory turned on the laser, but they still didn't have enough power.
"Okay, Tesla, Plusle, Minun, use your Thunder Shock now." Ashlyn ordered.
Thanks to the Pokémon the machines got full power and they succeeded of regenerating the second Deoxys. Ashlyn, Alain, Tory, Prof. Lund and Yuko were delighted that Deoxys was regenerated at last and Deoxys was grateful.
"Deoxys, let's go find your friend." Tory declared.
Deoxys used psychic on Ashlyn, Alain, Tory and Tesla and soon they were flying out of the lab and across the city.
===========================
Everyone at the windmills saw the Deoxys and they stopped turning the windmills now.
============================
Meanwhile the purple Deoxys and Rayquaza were fighting each other like crazy. Rayquaza kept on firing Hyper Beam and Deoxys was firing psychic boost while in attack form. Rayquaza managed to grab Deoxys and crash it onto the ground. Because of that Deoxys force field broke completely and then the wind blew through the city again. Deoxys fought back with Night Shade and it made Rayquaza crash to the ground. It was about to use Psychic Boost again, but then the green Deoxys turned up and protected Rayquaza with Protect. The purple Deoxys realized it was its friend and stopped fighting at once. The two Deoxys were happy to see each other again and lit up their auroras at once. Ashlyn, Alain and Tory saw the situation and they were happy to know that the Deoxys had found each other at last. Everyone at the windmills, Prof. Lund and Yuko at the labs saw the green and purple aurora lights and they were happy too. The reunion was then interrupted; Rayquaza started fighting the two Deoxys again.
"Oh no, Rayquaza is still angry." Ashlyn said.
"What can we do?" Tory asked.
The two Deoxys fought back with Night Shade and they carried Ashlyn, Alain and Tory off towards the ground for safety. At that moment, the security bots had started seeing the trouble. As the power was now back on all the machines in the city were working again including the security bots. Then more trouble came; the security bots started going into overdrive mode and were acting crazy. The bots started fighting Rayquaza as they knew that Rayquaza was the threat. Rayquaza tried to fight back but there were too many of them for it to fight. The two Deoxys saw Rayquaza was in trouble, went into defensive mode and tried to protect Rayquaza. Seeing what the two Deoxys were doing made Rayquaza realize that they weren't its enemies at all.
Ashlyn, Alain and Tory saw what was going on and tried to avoid being hit by the bots. At that time Plusle and Minun turned up to help. They looked over to where Rayquaza and the two Deoxys were and they were soon buried underneath the block robots.
"Rayquaza." Ashlyn said.
"Deoxys." Tory said.
"We better get back to Prof. Lund and Yuko." Alain decided.
Suddenly a big TV screen on a building turned on and Prof Lund began talking, "[Tory, can you hear me?]"
"Dad?" Tory asked.
"[You must listen to me very carefully. As you can see, all of the block robots are malfunctioning. The chief robot which controls all other block robots should near you. We no longer have power over that robot from the booth, understood? So here's what you have to do and need you to be brave.]" Prof. Lund instructed, "[Tory, do you have your passport? You must present your passport to the chief robot. Then everything should unlock, but only for a brief moment. That should allow us just enough time regain control and shut down the security system. Block robots are surrounding the Battle Tower, making any approach by us impossible. Son, the fate of our town in your hands. I know we can count on you-]"
The block slammed into the TV screen, breaking off Prof. Lund. Alain pulled Ashlyn and Tory close to him, protecting them from the falling glass.
"Let's do it, guys." Ashlyn declared.
"I'm with you, Ashlyn." Alain agreed.
Tory nodded in agreement.
The chief security, which face was now red instead of blue, bot was near the battle tower, not far from where Ashlyn, Alain and Tory were standing. The three jumped onto a hotdog vendor, which got caught with the security bots. Inside the machine was Munchlax eating the hotdogs; it got separated from the others some time ago and had been sheltering in the machine.
"Munchlax?" Alain asked.
Munchlax fell out of the vendor and onto the bots, but then it glowed and evolved into Snorlax. Ashlyn and Alain used Snorlax as a step to get to a tower that was near to the chief security box. Soon enough Snorlax was buried underneath the bots. Tory stayed on the vendor.
"Ashlyn! Alain! Are you okay?" Tory called.
"Don't worry, we're fine!" Alain shouted.
"We'll take care of the rest!" Ashlyn yelled.
There were some bots near the security bot and Ashlyn, Alain and Tesla used them as steppingstones to get to the chief bot. As soon as Alain got hold of the chief bot, Ashlyn jumped over and grabbed his hand. He helped pull her up and wrapped her arms around his neck. She took out her passport and used it to disengage the bots. A few seconds later, all of the bots turned off and stopped going crazy.
Tory was happy to see that the plan worked. Suddenly the Plusle and Minun fell of the bots they were standing on and Tory jumped off to help them. He didn't let his fear stop him from helping Plusle and Minun this time.
"Tory!" Ashlyn and Alain shouted, horrified.
Ashlyn was about to grab a Pokéball, but then the two Deoxys emerged from the bots and helped Tory, Plusle and Minun. Ashlyn, Alain, and Tesla were relieved at that.
Then they used Psychic to have Ashlyn, Alain and Tesla fly with them as well. Rayquaza emerged from the bots as well, but this time it was at peace with the Deoxys at last. Rayquaza went back to its home in space and the two Deoxys took Ashlyn, Alain and Tory to the plaza. Brock, Max, May, Drew, Sid, Rebecca, Rafe, Audrey and Kathryn were already at the plaza and they were happy to see that Ashlyn, Alain and Tory were okay.
At that moment Prof Lund and Yuko arrived.
"Tory!" Prof. Lund shouted.
"Dad!" Tory shouted and ran towards his dad.
The two hugged, relieved once more that they were both alright.
"I'm so happy you're safe." Prof. Lund said, happily.
"But I'm only okay cause of my friends." Tory said.
At that moment, Plusle and Minun jumped onto Tory's shoulder and began nuzzling like crazy. Tory chuckled at their affections. He wasn't afraid of them anymore. This meant that Tory was finally over his fear of Pokémon. Prof Lund and Yuko were happy to see that and so was the group.
"Ashlyn, Alain, thank you. If it weren't for you two, I never would have become friends with Plusle and Minun." Tory thanked the two trainers.
"No Tory, you got over your Poképhobia yourself." Ashlyn smiled.
"We can see that you'll be a great Pokémon trainer with Plusle and Minun at your side." Alain added.
Everyone agreed with that.
At that moment the two Deoxys started showing off their green and purple auroras again. This meant that it was time for them to go back into space. Tory understood what was happening.
"Goodbye. I'll miss you, Deoxys." Tory said, smiling sadly.
Then the two Deoxys flew higher into the sky, back into space.
"I wonder where they're going." Tory pondered.
Alain shrugged, "Who knows?"
"But wherever they're going, they'll always have each other." Ashlyn stated.
"Raichu." Tesla agreed.
"By the way, what happened to Munchlax?" Max asked.
"Oddly enough, Munchlax evolved into Snorlax. I spotted it sleeping on top of some bots." Ashlyn explained.
"I don't think that Snorlax should stay here, otherwise it would take all of the food from all the food vendors here." Brock advised.
"Then I am going to catch it because I have always wanted my own Snorlax!" Max declared.
"But we can't take it with us, it'll keep eating all of our food." May complained.
Ashlyn had an idea, "Max could still catch Snorlax, but send it to Prof Oak's lab. Prof Oak is takin care of my Snorlax, Totoro, at his lab, so he would gladly take care of Max's Snorlax there."
So Max ran over the bots to where Snorlax was and captured it in a Pokéball, which made Max happy indeed.
==============================
After that, the gang decided it was time for them to leave LaRousse City. Rafe, Audrey, Kathryn, Sid, Rebecca and Drew decided it was time to leave too. Prof Lund, Yuko and Tory saw them all off at the monorail station and thanked them for everything.
"You take care of Plusle and Minun, Tory." Ashlyn requested.
"I will Ashlyn and thanks again and goodbye." Tory said.
=============================
Then the group all left LaRousse City, happy to know that LaRousse City was safe again. Rafe, Audrey and Kathryn got off on the first stop, Sid on the second and Rebecca on the third, Drew on the fourth; while the gang continued on to get back on their journey.
