Adamant and Lustrous Orbs

A police airplane was delivering the Adamant Orb to Celestic Town. The plane was then suddenly attacked by a swarm of Golbat and a Toxicroak appeared from a helicopter flying directly over the plane. It was Saturn's Toxicroak. Team Galactic attacked the plane to steal the Adamant Orb.
Meanwhile...
Dawn and Brock were packing up in the Pokemon Center to get ready to leave Celestic Town.
"Okay, everything is all set." Brock said. 
He had just finished packing his backpack.
"Then I'll go get Ash and Tomo." Dawn said.
They were outside with their Pokemon. Yesterday's Pokemon contest, especially Dawn's battle with Lila, gave Ash an idea of what to do when they go up against Fantina. Pikachu was spinning while releasing electricity, creating a electric wall around himself.
"This is great." Tomo said.
"With this, the Hearthome Gym badge will be ours Tomo." Ash said.
Dawn then approached them.
"Time for us to go." She told the brothers.
"Can you wait a little bit longer, Dawn?" Ash asked. "I've come up with an idea how my Pokemon can counter Fantina's attacks. Remember when Ambipom created a shield of stars with Swift in the Pokemon contest. Well that was able to hit Delcatty even when it used Substitute. So I thought maybe doing something like that would be able to fight back against Fantina's Pokemon after they use a move."
"Oh I see. That's a great idea." Dawn said. 
She remembered the shield of stars too. Brock liked the idea as well.
"I must say though Ash." Brock said. "You have used defensive moves in battles in the past."
"I know I have Brock." Ash said. "But Fantina's ghost type Pokemon's moves are trickier then the ones we've seen in the past. Not to mention Fantina's Drifblim defeated all of my Pokemon without breaking a sweat."
"Good point." Brock agreed.
So the gang wasn't going to leave just yet.
When the gang got back to the Pokemon Center, they saw the news on TV. The news was about the theft on the police's plane and the TV reporter spoke about Team Galactic.
"Team Galactic is up to no good again?" Ash asked.
The news went on talking about the Adamant Orb being stolen as it was making it's way to Celestic Town for study at the historical research center. It also mentioned that Team Galactic successfully stole two meteorites from Veilstone City. Then the news talked about the Lustrous Orb. 
"I have a bad feeling about this." Ash said.
He was sure Team Galactic would go after the Lustrous Orb next as he knew it was connected to Palkia.
"This is serious." Nurse Joy said. "And the champion of Sinnoh is returning to Celestic Town soon."
"Cynthia lives in Celestic Town and her grandmother is in charge of the historical research center." She explained.
Ash turned to the others.
"We better go to the historical research center ourselves." He said. "I think Team Galactic will go after the Lustrous Orb next and Cynthia might need help."
The others agreed with Ash.
What no one knew was that Team Rocket was listening to the conversation as well. 
"Team Galactic really does remind me of Team Magma and Team Aqua when they went after those Red and Blue Orbs." James said. "Those Lustrous and Adamant Orbs must be important to whatever Team Galactic is up to."
"James bring out our police outfits. We are going undercover." Jessie said.
The trio wanted to find out what was going on with Team Galactic.
Meanwhile...
The gang arrived at the historical research center. Police were everywhere because of what happened with Team Galactic. Cynthia was there too and she noticed the gang.
"Well happy to see you again." Cynthia said.
"Hi Cynthia, it's been a while." Ash said.
The others were happy to see Cynthia as well. She introduced the gang to her grandmother Professor Carolina.
What they didn't know was that Team Galactic was spying on the historical research center. Saturn spotted the gang through his binoculars. He warned the other Team Galactic members about them and told them to be ready for backup; he had a feeling they would get in his way like they did before.
Meanwhile...
Prof. Carolina was talking to the gang.
"I've heard so much about you kids from Cynthia." Carolina said. "Especially you, Ash and the rivals you've made." 
"Tell me Ash, have you battled Paul?" Cynthia asked.
"A while back but the end result was him forfeiting." Ash answered.
"Well, then." Carolina said. "I don't suppose you think you can beat my granddaughter?"
"Honestly no. I battled a member of the Kanto Elite Four and quickly lost. So there's no way I can defeat a member of the Elite Four, let alone a champion."
Carolina smiled.
"Ah, such honesty." She said.
Cynthia liked his honesty as well.
"It's good to see honest people." A voice said.
The voice belonged to a blue-haired man wearing a tracksuit. His name was Cyrus and he was a rich businessman who made most of the buildings and libraries throughout Sinnoh. Cynthia and Professor Carolina felt honored to meet Cyrus and he felt the same. Cyrus had heard about the Adamant Orb theft and was worried about the Lustrous Orb. Cynthia and Carolina nodded.
Meanwhile...
Jessie and James were walking up to the historical research center. They were wearing their police officer disguises. Meowth was pretending to be their guard Pokemon.
"Remember Meowth, no talking or you'll blow our cover." James whispered.
"I know that already." Meowth whispered back.
They walked up to some policemen and Jessie and James told them they were backup reporting for duty. The policemen let them through; they were completely fooled by Team Rocket's disguise.
Carolina and Cynthia were leading Cyrus and the gang through the library of the historical research center. It was a big library with shelves of books about research and history everywhere. Then they came to a room which held a stone plaque picture of Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit on the wall.
"It's the Lake Guardians Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit." Ash said.
"You're right." Dawn said.
"You kids know about the Lake Guardians?" Carolina asked.
"Yes, thanks to my book on legendary Pokemon." Ash said.
He showed his book to Carolina.
"Ash and I have kinda seen Azelf and Mesprit too." Dawn said. 
Ash and Dawn informed them of their encounters with Mesprit's spirit and Azelf's spirit at Lake Verity and Lake Valor. Cyrus, Cynthia and Carolina couldn't believe what Ash and Dawn just said. 
"I have never heard of anyone seeing the Lake Guardians." Cynthia said.
"Neither of us have seen Uxie though because we haven't been to Lake Acuity near Snowpoint City yet." Dawn said.
"Seeing as you two have seen Azelf and Mesprit I believe you will see Uxie." Cynthia said.
Brock noticed a picture of a sun on the plaque.
"What is that?" He asked.
"Research says that's either the Adamant or Lustrous Orb." Cynthia explained.
"You guys should probably see the Lustrous Orb." Cyrus suggested after Ash and Dawn had seen Azelf and Mesprit.
Carolina agreed to the idea.
By that time, Jessie, James and Meowth had come to a chamber where two policemen and a Growlithe were guarding the door. The Lustrous Orb was behind the door.
"Your shift is complete, dismissed." James said. He, Jessie and Meowth were going to guard the orb.
The two policemen and Growlithe then left.
"So the Lustrous Orb is behind here, huh?" Jessie asked.
"And there's no sign of Team Galactic yet." James said.
"They'll turn up." Meowth said confidently.
At that moment Cyrus, Cynthia, Carolina and the gang appeared with Officer Jenny.
"Has anything happened?" Officer Jenny asked Jessie and James.
"No." James replied.
Ash saw through their disguises right away.
'I have no idea why Team Rocket is here, but they're the least of my concerns.' He thought.
Right now he wanted to focus on the Lustrous Orb.
Carolina opened the door with her access card and hand scan. There lying in a glass case was the Lustrous Orb. It was like a big, round pearl. 
"Wow, what a magnificent item." Dawn said, amazed with it's beauty.
"It's beauty is timeless." Cyrus sighed, liking the sight of the orb.
Jessie, James and Meowth were also amazed with it's beauty.
"Tell us what you feel about this orb." Cyrus said.
"Well to tell you the truth." Ash confessed. "It's certainly magnificent to see a precious treasure connected to a legendary Pokemon. I've seen treasures like this before."
"Ah, it's good to see someone that understands his magnificence." Cyrus said.
"Cyrus studies the myths of space and time as well as Dialga and Palkia just like Cynthia." Carolina explained.
"You see the Sinnoh Region is said to have originated with Mt. Coronet." Cyrus said. "Try imagining the beginning of the world. A time of no war and paradise of peace."
"There you go again Cyrus." Carolina said.
"He's always been obsessed with peace." She explained.
Ash started feeling uncomfortable around Cyrus. He could feel insanity emanating from him and began to dislike him.
Suddenly there were loud bangs outside and everyone felt the ground shake. This was courtesy of Team Galactic; they planted explosives at the ancient ruins and set them off. There was a red-haired woman issuing orders to the grunts. She was another commander named Mars. The police warned Officer Jenny about them. 
"There's a swarm of Golbat at the ruins." They told her.
"Team Galactic is here!" Ash shouted. "Tomo, Dawn let's prepare our strongest Pokemon."
While they switched their Pokemon around, Officer Jenny issued orders to her men for each section of the building and ruins. Carolina tried to close the door of the chamber again, but the lock wouldn't work; Team Galactic hacked the historical research center's security system and now the security guards couldn't control it.
"We'll have to relocate the Lustrous Orb." Cynthia said.
"We're gonna help protect it." Ash added.
He released his Lucario. 
Officer Jenny was grateful for their assistance.
"You help too." Jessie and James complied with her order.
Ash wasn't fond of Jessie and James disguised as police officers, but dealing with Team Galactic was more important.
There was more trouble outside. Three of Team Galactic's helicopters arrived at the building and Commander Saturn and some grunts exited the helicopters. The police and their Growlithe got ready to fight. One Galactic grunt threw a white ball, which produced a bright light, at the police. Thanks to the distraction Saturn and his grunts landed on the roof and he had his Toxicroak out.
Back inside the building
Officer Jenny and the group moved the Lustrous Orb on a trolley for safety. Then Brock's Croagunk came out of it's Poke Ball. 
"Croagunk, what are you doing out of your Poke Ball?" Brock asked.
Croagunk didn't answer. Instead, he walked along a corridor. 
"Go ahead." Brock told Officer Jenny as he followed Croagunk.
The group was coming up to the entrance of the building when they ran into Commander Saturn and his grunts along with their Golbat.
"Saturn!" Ash shouted.
"How about handing the Lustrous Orb over?" Saturn asked.
"Fat chance." Ash argued. "The orb's not going anywhere."
"The destruction of the ruins was a diversion tactic to weaken our defenses." Cynthia said.
Saturn smirked.
"My Bronzor put the security guards to sleep and Toxicroak is dealing with the police." He explained.
Just then Brock and his Croagunk ran into Toxicroak; he had sensed it and wanted payback for the last time they encountered each other.
"Team Galactic's plan is going off without a hitch." Saturn boasted.
To Ash, this was like the time he and the others had to protect the Red and Blue Orbs from Team Magma and Aqua. Pikachu, Lucario, Piplup and Growlithe got ready to fight.
"Bronzor, Hypnosis." Saturn ordered.
Cynthia released her Garchomp and it easily knocked Bronzor out with Brick Break. Saturn returned Bronzor.
"Get the Lustrous Orb out of here." She told Officer Jenny.
She and the gang were going to deal with Team Galactic.
But before Officer Jenny could leave with Cyrus, Carolina, Jessie, James and the orbs, Mars and her grunts along with their Golbat appeared and blocked their exit.
"Reunion complete." Mars said.
"We're surrounded." Officer Jenny said.
"Get ready guys." Ash told the others.
"More Galactic goons." Jessie whispered to James and Meowth.
"We should try to wiggle our way out of this." James whispered back.
Suddenly Croagunk came crashing through a window in the roof and onto the ground. Then Toxicroak came in and knocked Croagunk out with Poison Jab. Brock looked on helplessly as he watched. 
"We don't really have any desire for violence." Saturn said. "So just hand the Lustrous Orb over and we'll leave."
"Not on your life!" Cynthia shouted, taking out another Poke Ball. "You're not taking any of Sinnoh's treasures."
The Lustrous Orb started a war between the gang and Team Galactic.
Cynthia released her Gastrodon and it knocked all the Golbat back with Stone Edge.
"Wow, that was cool." Tomo said.
Dawn looked Gastrodon up on her Pokedex.
"Gastrodon, the Sea Slug Pokemon and the evolved form of Shellos. It has a pliable body without any bones. If any part of it's body is torn off, it grows right back."
"Get out of our way." Carolina ordered.
Team Galactic refused to do so. 
"Go, Shellos." Tomo called.
"Come on out Pachirisu." Dawn called.
Mars sent out a Purugly.
"Use Shadow Ball." She ordered.
"Dark Pulse." Saturn ordered.
Pikachu countered with Thunderbolt and Lucario countered with Aura Sphere. The Golbat used Air Slash, but Piplup retaliated with Bubble Beam. Pachirisu and Growlithe also retaliated with Discharge and Flamethrower. Shellos, Garchomp and Gastrodon also went on the attack with Water Pulse, Dragon Claw and Muddy Water. Smoke flew everywhere as a result.
'Lucario.' Ash spoke telepathically. 'Use your aura to see where Toxicroak is.' 
Lucario did as he was told.
'I see it, father.' Lucario replied telepathically.
'Good.' Ash said. 'I'm going to have Pikachu use Volt Tackle. Cover him in case Toxicroak. You're also a steel type so Toxicroak's poison type moves won't be effective.'
'I understand.' Lucario said.
"Dawn, Tomo I'm breaking through this. Cover me." Ash said.
Dawn and Tomo had their Pokemon attack the Golbat.
"Pikachu, Volt Tackle." He ordered.
Saturn saw Pikachu coming.
"Stop it." He ordered.
Toxicroak prepared to use Poison Jab, but as Ash had planned, Lucario jumped in and took the attack. As he was also a steel type the attack didn't do a thing.
"Good work Lucario." Ash said.
While all this was happening Team Rocket decided to leave. James took the Lustrous Orb out of the container and the trio started sneaking towards a window.
Officer Jenny took notice of this.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
Team Rocket stopped and removed their disguises.
"I thought that was you Team Rocket." Ash said.
"Team Rocket?" Cynthia asked.
Tomo sighed.
"They're a criminal organization from the Kanto region that steals Pokemon and causes trouble." He said. "These three are rather pathetic as they continue to follow us and end up being defeated."
Team Rocket wasn't happy about being called pathetic.
"Don't you worry. We're really here to keep the orb for ourselves." James said. "But I suggest you don't follow us as we take our leave."
"Yeah especially you Team Galactic." Meowth said. "As this orb thingy seems to be really important to you, it would be terrible if it was broken."
Meowth got out his sharp claws and James held the orb over him.
"Now I suggest you let us leave in peace or I'll leave a big scratch on the orb." He pointed a claw at the orb.
"Surely you're smart enough to understand us." Jessie said.
Team Rocket made their getaway.
Team Galactic and their Golbat also left to pursue Team Rocket.
The gang also wanted to go after Team Rocket to get the Lustrous Orb back, but they had to take Croagunk to the Pokemon Center.
"Leave the rest to us." Officer Jenny told them.
Then she left.
Just then Brock showed up. Dawn handed Croagunk to him and he gently held Croagunk in his arms. Cynthia sent her Garchomp to look for Team Rocket and Ash sent his Staravia out for the same reason. Cyrus blamed himself for this disaster because he really wanted to see the Lustrous Orb. Carolina thought this was her fault because they had to carry the orb in a case.
Meanwhile
"The Lustrous Orb was taken by another group." A woman with purple hair listened to what she was hearing.
Her name was Jupiter and she was one of Team Galactic's commanders. 
"Now that they have foolishly let Team Rocket escape with the orb, it's our turn to take care of things." Jupiter told her grunts.
"Yes ma'am, we'll use the Spear Key to track them down." A grunt said.
The grunt opened up a suitcase and revealed the Spear Key. The Spear Key floated out of the suitcase and acted like a compass to point in the direction Team Rocket went.
Back at the Pokemon Center
Nurse Joy was giving Brock medicine he could hand to Croagunk. It was lying on a hospital bed; he was upset over his defeat, so Brock tended to him to put him at ease. Ash was checking over Lucario to see if he was okay.
"You did very well out there Lucario." Ash said, rubbing his head.
"Hey Ash." Dawn asked. "What do you think Team Rocket will do with the Lustrous Orb?'
"Well they weren't lying when they said they would keep the Lustrous Orb for themselves. Who knows what they'll do." Ash said. "Let's just hope they haven't left town yet."
Out in the city, the police were everywhere, keeping a eye out for Team Rocket. They were hiding in a alleyway, they hadn't left Celestic Town yet. James's Carnivine was holding onto the Lustrous Orb.
"Okay so this orb is clearly important to Team Galactic, whatever the reason is." Jessie said.
"Remember how the Red and Blue Orbs were important to Team Magma and Aqua because they needed them for Kyogre and Groudon?" Meowth asked. "What if this is the same scenario?"
"Could be, but what is the Lustrous Orb for?" Jessie questioned.
"We need to dig more info up on this." Meowth said.
Team Rocket didn't want to take it back to Giovanni; they wanted to know what Team Galactic was planning.
"Yes, but what should we do here?" James asked. "The place is crawling with police and there's no way for us to escape without being seen."
Jessie peeked over a wall and saw the Celestic ruins, deciding they should go there for the time being. What they didn't know was they had been found by Team Galactic's Golbat and Ash's Staravia.
Back at the Pokemon Center
The gang was talking to Cynthia.
"I don't know why, but I'm scared." Dawn admitted. "What is this new world Team Galactic keeps talking about? And what are they trying to do?"
"You're not going to like what you're about to hear, but Brock, Tomo and I understand what they're up to." Ash said. 
"Team Galactic intends to destroy this world and recreate it as their own." Tomo added.
"We know this as a fact because Team Aqua and Magma had the same goal when we encountered them in Hoenn." Brock continued.
They shared everything they knew about Team Aqua and Magma, the Red and Blue Orbs, and their intent to control Kyogre and Groudon.
"Cynthia, the Adamant and Lustrous Orbs are connected to Dialga and Palkia, aren't they?" Ash asked.
"Yes, that's right." Cynthia answered.
"This means they intend to summon and control Dialga and Palkia to destroy and recreate the world." Ash said.
"As much as I don't want to, I believe it as well." Cynthia responded.
"But if Team Galactic is after Dialga and Palkia then what can we do?" Dawn asked.
Ash thought about the situation. Before he could say anything, his Staravia flew over to them. Everyone ran out of the Pokemon Center.
"You found Team Rocket Staravia?" Ash asked.
Staravia cooed yes.
"Show us the way." He said.
At the same time
Cyrus and Carolina were heading to the ruins to inspect the damage. A lot of pillars had been destroyed and there was a big hole in the roof. There was a mosaic of the three lake guardians that was undamaged much to Carolina's relief. Suddenly Cyrus and Carolina felt someone in the ruins with them. 
"Who's there?" Carolina asked.
"Come out or I will use force to bring you out!" Cyrus demanded.
Team Rocket stepped out from behind a pillar.
"You're a forceful one." Jessie said. 
"Team Rocket, is it not?" Cyrus asked.
"You're a smart one." James said. "But that won't help you beat us."
Meanwhile
Cynthia and the gang followed Staravia to her car. Staravia and Garchomp were flying alongside it and Lucario was running alongside it. 
"Are we going to the research center?" Dawn asked.
"Either that or to the ruins." Cynthia answered.
"Fly over head." She ordered her Garchomp to make sure Team Rocket didn't go anywhere.
"Pikachu, Lucario go with Garchomp." Ash ordered.
"You too Growlithe." Tomo ordered.
Piplup wanted to help too so he jumped onto Staravia's back.
"We're counting on all of you and be careful." Ash said.
The Pokemon nodded in understanding.
Back at the ruins
Mars and her grunts charged into them. She used her Bronzor to put the police to sleep.
"Team Galactic!" Jessie gasped.
"Why are you here?!" James demanded.
"How did you know?!" Meowth gasped.
Mars smirked.
"Golbat was following you." She informed the trio.
"We don't stop until we get what we want." Mars said. "You bringing the Lustrous Orb here saved us a lot of trouble."
Team Rocket became angry.
"Purugly, Body Slam. Bronzor, Hypnosis." She ordered.
Jessie and James were about to each grab a Poke Ball to fight back, but they didn't need to do anything. Cynthia's Garchomp had arrived along with Pikachu, Lucario, Staravia, Growlithe and Piplup. Garchomp then slammed into Bronzor and Purugly, knocking them out. 
"You can't do that to my Pokemon!" Mars angrily shouted.
Cynthia and the gang arrived a second later. Jessie quickly released her Purugly, Weavile, Vespiquen and Arbok. James quickly released his Roserade, Skuntank, Weezing and Victreebel.
"You've given us no choice." Jessie said. "As this Lustrous Orb seems to be important to all of you, you shouldn't give us trouble and let us pass."
"Yeah, otherwise this orb will be destroyed." Meowth said, making another threat.
Carnivine showed the orb in it's mouth to everyone. 
"Team Rocket isn't joking." Ash whispered to the others. "They really will destroy the orb if we don't do as we're told."
"What will we do Cynthia?" Dawn asked, whispering.
Team Galactic didn't know what to do at this point.
"Don't you realize how important the Lustrous Orb is, you idiots!" Cyrus angrily shouted. 
He showed them the plaque on the wall.
"You fools don't know that the Adamant and Lustrous Orb bring great power to Dialga and Palkia." He said. "But it is when the powers of these orbs are combined with the three lake guardians that their full power emerges. To put it simply to you fools the three guardians and the two orbs will gloriously bring forth nothing less then legends."
He began to laugh.
The gang didn't like the way Cyrus spoke and neither did Cynthia. Ash and Lucario felt insanity emanating from Cyrus.
"Cyrus, calm down." Carolina said.
"Don't you see!" He shouted. "If we don't make these fools understand, they will shatter the orb. I refuse to let the Lustrous Orb be destroyed! I'm sorry to be so upset, but when the stakes are this high our strongest weapon is the truth! Now listen well the Adamant Orb is Dialga and the Lustrous Orb is Palkia, The two orbs will bring them to this world!" 
Team Rocket was left shocked by his outbursts, but they didn't back down.
Just then, a big swarm of Golbat swooped into the ruins and surrounded Team Rocket, the gang, Cynthia, Carolina and Cyrus.
"I've had enough!" Ash shouted.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt. Lucario, use Thunder Punch." Pikachu shocked some of the Golbat with a lightning bolt while Lucario punched them with a electrified fist. 
"Alright Piplup, use Bubble Beam." Dawn said.
"Use Flamethrower, Growlithe." Tomo said.
Piplup blew a series of bubbles and Growlithe unleashed a stream of fire from his mouth at some more Golbat.
"Garchom Dragon Claw let's go." Cynthia said.
Garchomp struck some Golbat with Dragon Claw, but there was no end to the big swarm.
Suddenly Jupiter's Skuntank jumped into the ruins and on top of Carnivine's head. The Lustrous Orb came out it's mouth and Skuntank caught it.
"Hey, where did that Skuntank come from?!" Jessie demanded.
"It's ruining our plan!" Meowth shouted.
Meowth got his claws ready to attack, but Skuntank used a very powerful Hyper Beam to send Team Rocket and all their Pokemon blasting off. Skuntank quickly gave the Lustrous Orb to Jupiter.
"Well done, my dear Skuntank." She said, rubbing it's cheek and holding the Lustrous Orb.
"The backup plan was successful." Jupiter spoke into a microphone.
Cynthia, Carolina and the gang noticed the Lustrous Orb was gone after all the Golbat flew away. They all ran outside the ruins to try and get it back, but it was too late. Team Galactic was gone and they took the Lustrous Orb with them.
In a forest outside Celestic Town
Jessie, James and Meowth recovered from the attack.
"Grr wait till I see Team Galactic again, I'll show them!" Jessie growled.
"I can't help but wonder what that big-mouthed man said." James said. "About the Adamant and Lustrous Orbs bringing Dialga and Palkia to this world."
"That means Team Galactic's after those two Pokemon." Jessie said. 
"But can Team Galactic control those Pokemon though?" Meowth asked. "Team Aqua and Magma failed to control Kyogre and Groudon and I remember what Dialga and Palkia were like in Alamos Town." 
Jessie and James wondered that too.
At the Pokemon Center
"The Lustrous Orb was taken by Team Galactic." Carolina told Officer Jenny.
Everyone was feeling down after their failure to keep the Lustrous Orb safe.
"I wish I could have been more help." Cyrus said.
"We blew it big time." Tomo sighed.
"No you all did great, remember that." Cyrus said.
He then left the Pokemon Center.
Ash looked at Cyrus as he left; he still felt something about him wasn't right. Cynthia and Carolina stared at him as well; they could also tell something was off about Cyrus.
After Cyrus left, Ash turned to Cynthia.
"Cynthia, a word?" He spoke.
"What is it, Ash?" She asked, noticing his serious expression.
"After you and Carolina are done talking to Officer Jenny, we need to speak in private." He answered.
Cynthia could feel he wanted to tell her something very important and so did Carolina. A moment later, Officer Jenny left the Pokemon Center to head back to the police station.
"Okay Ash, what do you have to say?" Carolina asked.
"Well it's clear as crystal that Team Galactic is after Dialga and Palkia so they could use their powers to destroy and recreate the world." Ash said. "I've come to the decision we need to ask for Giratina's help."
"When Team Aqua and Magma unleashed the super-ancient Pokemon Groudon and Kyogre, I used the Jade Orb to summon Rayquaza and stop them." He told Cynthia, Carolina and Dawn.
"But Ash." Dawn said, not liking the idea. 
"You have any better ideas to deal with Dialga and Palkia after Team Galactic summons them?" He questioned.
"I agree with your idea." Cynthia added. "I also believe Giratina's our only hope to save the world."
"Me too." Carolina continued. "Giratina might be said to be violent, but it's still a member of the creation trio. Ash, can I count on you to ask Giratina to help us?"
"Of course." Ash nodded. "But before I do anything. Cynthia, Carolina, do not let anyone know about this, even your employees that we're asking for Giratina's help. After today's events no one needs to know about this plan to avoid Team Galactic finding out about it." 
"We understand." They agreed not to say a thing.
Ash didn't want Cyrus knowing about this because he didn't trust him. Cynthia and Carolina didn't either.
Ash took out his Master Ball.
"He has a Mewtwo. Mewtwo was the one who called for Rayquaza's help." Brock explained.
Cynthia, Carolina and Dawn were surprised.
"We must be quiet now because Ash is going to talk to Mewtwo telepathically." Tomo said.
Everyone kept quiet as Ash concentrated on the Master Ball.
'Mewtwo, can you hear me. I need your help.' He said.
Mewtwo was flying over Mt. Coronet when he heard Ash's voice.
'What's wrong Ash?' He asked. 
'Team Galactic took the Adamant and Lustrous Orbs.' Ash answered. 
'They're going after Dialga and Palkia, which is why we need to ask for Giratina's help.' He added.
'Where does Giratina live?' Mewtwo asked.
He recalled the issue with the super-ancient Pokemon.
'Giratina lives in another dimension. So do Dialga and Palkia.' Ash answered. 'So what you need to do is head to Solaceon Town and enter the Solaceon Ruins. Unown live there, so you'll need to ask for their help to enter Giratina's dimension. Be careful, Giratina hates those that enter it's territory.' 
'I understand.' Mewtwo said. 
The connection then ended.
"Okay, Mewtwo's going to head to Giratina's dimension to ask for it's help in our place." Ash told the others.
"Let's hope Mewtwo is successful." Cynthia said.
The others hoped so as well.
The next day
The gang prepared to leave Celestic Town for Hearthome City.
"Ash is going to face the Hearthome Gym." They told Cynthia.
"You're going to be busy." Nurse Joy noted her upcoming title battles.
"You have challengers who want to replace you as the Sinnoh Champion Cynthia?" Ash asked.
"I do." Cynthia said. "It's not going to be easy trying to live normally after this."
"Even though we still need to deal with Team Galactic, you still have lives to live." She reminded them.
The gang nodded in understanding especially Ash, Tomo and Brock after all the crazy things they experienced in the past.
After everything that happened yesterday; the gang knew they had to be on their guard the next time Team Galactic struck.
Meanwhile
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were placing the Lustrous Orb in the ship, next to the Adamant Orb. Just then Cyrus came in; it turns out he was the boss of Team Galactic. 
"Cyrus, sir. Sorry." He greeted him, apologizing for what happened. 
He wasn't happy about what happened at the historical research center and ruins. 
"Azelf and Mesprit have been spotted." Cyrus told the three, surprising them.
"Preparations for summoning the lake guardians have been made, but capturing them." He said. 
"I'll call the Pokemon hunter right away." Jupiter said.
Team Galactic planned to have Hunter J capture the lake guardians for them. 
"The Ironworks confirmed that the experiments with the Veilstone meteorites we stole were successful and project Red Chain is ready to commence." Mars told Cyrus.
Team Galactic was clearly doing a lot of other things involving their plan.
"The birth of a new, pure world is soon to be upon us all." Cyrus said. "Dialga, Palkia ring forth your awesome power."
He started to laugh like a lunatic; he was definitely insane.
