Ash and Pikachu reunite with the others at the base of the temple. Resolving to stop Team Rocket's plans, they assemble a group of their Pokémon: {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}, {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}, {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} and {{AP|Unfezant}} with Pikachu accompanying them. Dragonite flies off without orders from {{an|Iris}}, leaving the others to follow, but the entire group are soon pushed back by a burst of red light from the Reveal Glass. Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus transform into their Therian Formes, and as the light recedes, it briefly surrounds Giovanni's body and fills his eyes as well. Taking control of the ruins' power, Giovanni orders the Forces of Nature into battle. | Ash and Pikachu reunite with the others at the base of the temple.

Dragonite recklessly takes on the [[legendary Pokémon]] ahead of the others, against Iris's pleas. Tornadus and Landorus easily overwhelm Dragonite using {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Stone Edge}}, sending him crashing back to the base of the temple. While he is stunned, Thundurus descends and prepares an immense electrical attack to finish him off.

Iris steps in front of the attack to protect him, but then Pikachu jumps in the way to protect her, absorbing the elctricity from the blast. Iris's act helps her finally begin to connect with Dragonite, and he starts to display a newfound sense of trust in her. He rejoins the battle alongside the others, but they fail to make much headway against the Forces of Nature. | ||
Giovanni commands the Forces of Nature to unleash their true power, causing Meloetta to scream out in pain as the Reveal Glass empowers them further. The eyes of the Forces of Nature become fully red, and they knock all of their opponents into the ocean with a single onslaught of moves. | Giovanni commands the Forces of Nature to unleash their true power, causing Meloetta to scream out in pain as the Reveal Glass empowers them further. The eyes of the Forces of Nature become fully red, and they knock all of their opponents into the ocean with a single onslaught of moves. The Forces of Nature begin to activate their true power, combining their respective abilities to create a portal that freezes Undella Bay and a portion of a nearby city, where [[Officer Jenny]] wonders what is taking place. At the ruins, [[Dr. Zager]] comments to the others that this is what the ancient people fought over: the ability to unleash a neverending wave of natural disasters. | ||
The heroes' Pokémon burst from the ice to continue the battle, while at the same time, Ash reaches the top of the ruins again. He confronts Giovanni, who dismisses his challenge. Jessie and James call forth Woobat and Yamask again, but when Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Electro Ball}} against them, it turns into a gigantic, supercharged version of the move as a result of the excess energy from Thundurus's earlier attack.

Electro Ball ends up obliterating the top of the temple, freeing Meloetta from its restraints and sending Team Rocket and the Reveal Glass flying right off. However, Giovanni gets completely overcome when he accidentally looks into the glass, causing him to scream in pain when the Reveal Glass blasts a beam of light right into his face. | ||
Unfezant recovers Meloetta and brings it to Ash, but Jessie, James and {{MTR}} demand he return it. Giovanni suddenly interrupts them and says they no longer need Meloetta, but as he stands up amidst the rubble, he is shown to have completely red eyes and a glowing symbol from the Abyssal Ruins on his forehead. Ridley, Iris, {{an|Cilan}} and Cynthia arrive, and Ash gives Meloetta to Ridley, but then warns his friends that the battle is not yet over. While the Forces of Nature overwhelm the heroes' Pokémon, Giovanni rises up and shouts that his goal is destruction. This horrifies his subordinates; James tries to remind him that their goal is to conquer, and in response to Meowth's question, Dr. Zager admits that he has no idea what is happening.

This horrifies his subordinates; James tries to remind him that their goal is to conquer, and in response to Meowth's question, Dr. Zager admits that he has no idea what is happening. Giovanni calls the Forces of Nature to his side and commands them to destroy all of Unova. Dr. Zager speculates that losing Meloetta may have caused Giovanni's condition, and Ridley confirms this, explaining that the three legendary Pokémon control the power of nature and Meloetta acts as a balance on that power. With that balance no longer in place, Giovanni's sanity has been consumed by his own ambitions, turning his goals to destruction and chaos. Rejecting this, Jessie, James and Meowth leap toward Giovanni and shove him outside of the area of the temple's influence, releasing him from its control. They help him up, and he wonders what happened, having no recollection of what took place while he was possessed. Dr. Zager tells him they cannot control the legendary Pokémon without Meloetta and recommends they retreat, which Giovanni agrees to. When Ash calls to them and asks where they're going, James merely has Yamask use {{m|Haze}} to provide cover. Team Rocket return to their jet and fly off, with Jessie and James remarking that Pikachu truly is special after all. | ||
The heroes' Pokémon continue fighting the Forces of Nature. Ridley returns the Reveal Glass to its pedestal, tells Meloetta they must stop the rage of Landorus and the others, and asks the Reveal Glass to grant him his wish. The Reveal Glass releases a gentle light that wraps around Meloetta as the [[mythical Pokémon]] begins to sing. Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus calm down and stop fighting, then approach the Reveal Glass, which turns them back to their Incarnate Formes and ends the conflict. | The heroes' Pokémon continue fighting the Forces of Nature.
