XY102: Difference between revisions

Ash and {{ashfr}} arrive outside [[Terminus Cave]] based on [[Sawyer]]'s recommendation where {{an|Bonnie}} tells [[Squishy]] that they have arrived. Squishy pops up out of Bonnie's bag to look. As they head inside, {{TRT}} are spying on them wondering why they are going inside but decide to go in to try and catch {{AP|Pikachu}} as they head inside. Inside the cave, {{an|Serena}} says that she heard the mine was abandoned years ago but is now home to {{pkmn2|wild}} Pokémon which attracts a lot of trainers. Bonnie is excited to see a {{p|Ariados}}, {{p|Lairon}} and {{p|Shuckle}} as Ash notices that it is just like Sawyer said. Squishy jumps out of Bonnie's bag and goes down a passageway where Bonnie follows with {{an|Clemont}} followed by Ash, Serena and Pikachu. As Squishy hurries off, Bonnie calls at Squishy to wait and when Squishy does, Bonnie asks Squishy if it is looking for something as Serena calls out {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} to light up the area using her flame which Braixen does. Clemont also decides to light things up and uses his Clemontic gear to increase the light level in the cave. As they crawl along a passageway, Squishy looks around nervously. Later they arrive in a cavern and after climbing down, Clemont asks if they could have taken an easier path. Continuing on their way, Serena notes that they have come far, Clemont becomes tired as Squishy heads to a gap in the floor before looking back at the group before going down the gap, Bonnie goes to follow but Clemont stops her saying it is dangerous as Bonnie tries to pull free. Looking down, Serena sees no way for them to get down there but Bonnie says they have to catch up as Ash brings out {{AP|Noibat}} to use its ultrasonic wave to find an easier way of getting down as Clemont brings {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}} out to assist with its X-Ray vision. Noibat and Luxray find a passageway for them to take and they follow it. Once they leave, Team Rocket appear with {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} providing some light as {{MTR}} wonders how far they will go, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] follow them. Squishy arrives at a cavern with water and looks around worried, unaware of a tracking device attached to a stalactite. Outside the cave in a van, two {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s have picked up movement from the tracker and discover that Squishy has returned. They contact [[Xerosic]] and let him know about Squishy as inside, Squishy reaches the water's edge and dives in and regains energy as Luxray having found Squishy leads the others along a different path. Squishy starts to contact [[Z2]] through telepathy to see how it is and Z2 replies back unaware that the Team Flare Grunts have detected their conversations. Having picked up Z2's location, Xerosic goes to find it along with [[Mable]] and [[Aliana]] as Aliana notes how foolish it was to give away its location. Squishy tells Z2 that it is fine but Z2 must flee from its current location at once as Ash and the others arrive. Bonnie is relieved to have found Squishy and goes over to Squishy only for Squishy to disappear.

Team Rocket are still spying on them as they wonder what is going on. Outside [[Bryony]] arrives and meets up with [[Celosia]] and after complaining about Bryony being late, they head inside after Squishy. Back in the cavern, the group are calling out to Squishy with no result as Clemont and Ash check on Luxray and Noibat. Serena thinks that Squishy may not be here any more but Bonnie says Squishy is here and Ash agrees and walks further into the water and calls out to Squishy. Squishy watches from a stalactite as Ash and Bonnie are attacked by a {{m|Pin Missile}} as they are confronted by Team Flare and {{DL|Celosia|Drapion}} who orders them not to move. As Pikachu gets ready to battle, Drapion fires a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} which Celosia calls a warning with the next attack being a lost worse. Celosia and Bryony do a scout for Squishy and find it on the stalactite as Celosia fires a beam at Squishy who falls into the water having missed being hit. Celosia and Bryony continue to fire at Squishy as Team Rocket wonder what they are shooting at as Meowth guesses it is Squishy. Ash and the others can only watch on as a beam finally hits Squishy forcing it out of the water, having been subdued. As Bonnie goes to help Squishy, Ash pulls her out of the way of another Sludge Bomb. Clemont and Serena decide the time has come to battle as the Team Flare Grunts send out {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Skorupi}}. Ash has Noibat use {{m|Supersonic}} on Drapion before using {{m|Tackle}} as Bryony orders an {{m|Iron Head}} from {{DL|Bryony|Bisharp}} which hits Noibat, sending it flying into a stalactite as Bryony orders Bisharp to use {{m|Metal Sound}} as Celosia orders a Grunt to catch Squishy which the Grunt goes to do but is stopped by a {{m|Seed Bomb}} as Team Rocket appear on the scene and recite their motto. Team Flare aren't fazed by this, much to Team Rocket's annoyance as James tells them to stop insulting their intelligence as Team Flare have no idea what they are on about as Ash brings out {{AP|Greninja}} and orders Greninja to free Squishy from Team Rocket which Greninja does easily as Celosia orders a {{m|Cross Poison}} from Drapion which Greninja dodges as Bryony has Bisharp attack with {{m|Stone Edge}} which Greninja just manages to dodge as Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} as Serena calls for Braixen to use {{m|Flamethrower}} and Clemont calls for Luxray to use {{m|Swift}} as the Team Flare Grunts call their Pokémon to use {{m|Dark Pulse}} which blocks all the attacks, creating a lot of smoke as Greninja returns Squishy to Bonnie. Celosia tells them that Squishy is a lot more than it seems and that it belongs to Team Flare before Bryony tells her to stop as Team Rocket thank them for filling them in before ordering Drapion to use Sludge Bomb which creates a lot of smoke, allowing Bryony to approach Ash and friends and orders them to hand Squishy over which they refuse and get ready to attack as Bonnie says that she will protect Squishy from them.

Team Flare tells them this leaves them little choice but Squishy starts to glow, much to the surprise of everyone as Squishy starts to gather {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Cell}} from the cave. Everyone watches as Squishy transforms into its 10% Forme which leads Clemont to guess that this is some sort of evolution as Celosia checks with Bryony who confirms that this is what she saw before as Squishy uses {{m|Land's Wrath}} to send Team Rocket and Team Flare flying as Bonnie peers through the rocks, trying to see Squishy. Ash is surprised at how much power that Squishy has as Bryony and Celosia recover from the attack as Bonnie calls out to Squishy, only for Squishy to leave but Celosia and Bryony send out {{DL|Celosia|Manectric}} and {{DL|Bryony|Liepard}} to chase after Squishy as Ash orders Greninja and Pikachu to stop them which they do, allowing Squishy to get away as Bryony orders Liepard to use {{m|Shadow Claw}} as Ash has Greninja counter with {{m|Cut}} as Celosia orders Manectric to use Thunderbolt which hits Greninja, sending it flying as Ash orders Pikachu to attack with {{m|Iron Tail}} which hits Manectric. Ash checks on Greninja as Celosia and Bryony start to approach as Bonnie, Clemont, Serena, Luxray and Braixen. Bryony isn't pleased with their interference and tells them to get out of the way as Greninja gets up, still able to battle as they start to power up, allowing Greninja to change into [[Bond Phenomenon|Ash-Greninja]] as Ash orders Greninja to use {{m|Water Shuriken}} which Celosia orders Manectric to counter with {{m|Shock Wave}} before going after Greninja and hitting it, which causes Ash some pain before ordering Greninja to use Cut, which sends Manectric flying as Bryony orders another Shadow Claw from Liepard which Ash counters by ordering Greninja to use {{m|Aerial Ace}} which sends Liepard flying as Greninja returns to normal, leaving Ash and Greninja exhausted as Celosia and Bryony know they can't keep this up and has Manectric use {{m|Flash}} which blinds everyone as Team Rocket decide to go back to the drawing board. Once Flash subsides, Ash and the others discover that Team Flare have left as outside, Squishy returns to its Core Forme before disappearing. Clemont, Bonnie and Serena check on Ash who is OK as Clemont notes that it was the same as what [[XY100|happened]] at [[Ninja Village]] as Ash mentions it was like he became Greninja as Bonnie becomes concerned about where Squishy is. Outside, Celosia and Bryony receive a report that Squishy hasn't been located as Celosia can't believe that it got away but Bryony is certain that it hasn't gone far before noticing Ash and his friends leaving Terminus Cave and note that they have a special relationship with Squishy and they should keep an eye of them which they agree before being confronted by Team Rocket who tells them that Ash and his friends are their concern and not to get in their way as the world belongs to {{an|Giovanni}} and Team Rocket before leaving which Celosia and Bryony find a joke.

Ash and his friends are calling for Squishy but can't find it as Ash notes that if Squishy got away from Team Flare, it is probably hiding somewhere as Clemont wonders if Squishy is remaining hidden so it doesn't cause them any more trouble but Bonnie says that Squishy protected them and that it is their friend so must be waiting somewhere for them and vows to find Squishy, unaware that nearby, an invisible Squishy is watching them. At their base, [[Lysandre]] and [[Xerosic]] watch the footage showing Squishy having merged with its cells which makes it better able to move as Xerosic notes it will require much more study and they have yet to see the true power for Squishy as Lysandre inquires over Z2 but they are in the process of finding it but it will only be a matter of time.
