SM101: Difference between revisions

Dia draws on the blackboard and explains the concept of a parallel world. He warns that in the scenario that if aspects of the two worlds mixed, this would lead to the creation of more parallel realities. Ash is confused by the idea, leading Dia to explain what occurred to his world. Dia says that 10 years ago, [[Melemele Island]]'s land was bought up and overdeveloped which led to widespread pollution of the area. Afterwards, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Guzzlord}} arrived and reduced everything to ruins. Dia warns Ash, that choosing the wrong path in his world may result in what has unfolded in the [[Ultra Ruin]]s. The stern warning leaves Ash speechless, and he later goes to a pool of water to reflect on his own world and {{ashcl}}.

   

Seeing Dia's faith despite all the odds, Ash and Pikachu launch into some training. Ash plants a can and has Pikachu aim his {{m|Electroweb}} at it, followed by a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The two attacks land and send the can rolling on the ground. The display only irritates Dia and infuriates Zeraora, who goes on to throw a rock at Pikachu. However, Pikachu manages to shatter the rock into pieces with a Thunderbolt and to Dia’s surprise, Ash claims that Zeraora was simply helping with their training. Ash calls on Zeraora to join them and has Pikachu use Electroweb to bring it down to ground level. A {{pkmn|battle}} begins, and Pikachu uses another Electroweb. Zeraora {{m|slash}}es through the attack and unleashes Plasma Fists. Pikachu counters with Thunderbolt and follows up with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Zeraora manages to evade Pikachu's speed and swats him away with its sharp claw. Even after an assault of attacks by Zeraora, Ash and Pikachu declare that they are not finished yet. Zeraora smiles as Dia smirks, and the training regime continues. Zeraora launches into a Quick Attack to evade Pikachu's Thunderbolts and manages to land a hit on Pikachu. Zeraora approaches with another Quick Attack, but Pikachu manages to track its speed and Thunderbolts Zeraora. As a reward, Zeraora gifts Pikachu a [[Sitrus Berry]]. The present is well received as Pikachu happily polishes off the Sitrus Berry. Dia commends Ash and Pikachu on their partnership, and Ash retorts that Dia and Zeraora are much the same.

The situation seems dire. Guzzlord smashes its way to the group and jumps as it prepares to engulf them. Then, the {{Shiny}} Tapu Koko arrives on the scene and ensnares Guzzlord in electricity. Tapu Koko lets out a [[cry]] that reactivates Dia and Ash's [[Z-Ring]]s. The duo are pleased and have Pikachu and Zeraora perform a double {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}. The two Z-Moves combine into a swirling blue and yellow beam of electricity that overwhelms Guzzlord and pushes the Ultra Beast into the Ultra Wormhole. Afterwards the Ultra Wormhole closes. Dia is left speechless by the achievement as Ash goes on to hug Zeraora to thank it.

Ash and Pikachu return to their world and are greeted by {{Rotom}}. Tapu Koko quickly flies away. Ash rushes to the Pokémon School, leaving Rotom and his Bag behind. He happily greets his friends and apologizes to {{an|Kiawe}} for missing yesterday's battle. However, Kiawe is left confused and despite the amount of time that passed in the alternate world, little to no time appears to have passed in Ash's own world. Ash and Pikachu admire the beauty of Alola from one of the school's balconies while Dia and Zeraora look over the ruins of their world. The Shiny Tapu Koko flies into the sky and brightens the dusty world with a rainbow {{wp|aurora}}; a sign of better things to come.
