between Ash and Alain at the Kalos League,

Ash-Greninja faced Mega Charizard once more.

ALAIN: Where's Mairin? ASH: During the finals,

she didn't wanna get in your way.

She asked me not to tell you!

ALAIN: She's always overthinking these things...

ASH: At a time like this, I guess I can ask...

Is Mairin important to you?

are overrunning the city,

and there has been major damage centered around Prism Tower.

Avoid that area during evacuation.

MEOWTH: Something's weird! Hey!

JESSIE: What?

LYSANDRE: To my beloved Kalos region and the entire world:

I am Lysandre.

Team Flare is with me to do my bidding.

CLEMONT: I know him!

LYSANDRE: I have an announcement.

MAIRIN: Lysandre!

LYSANDRE: We are here to remake the world.

Into a place of pure beauty and peace!

ASH/SERENA/CLEMONT/BONNIE: "Who's that Pokémon?"

ASH/SERENA/CLEMONT/BONNIE: "It's Zygarde % Forme!"

LYSANDRE: Team Flare's purpose is to transform our world

into an exquisite example of creation!

LYSANDRE: This Pokémon's name is Zygarde:

a Legendary Pokémon

who will preside over the new order of the Kalos region.

LYSANDRE: So, as leaders of this new order,

we have decided to join forces

with this powerful guardian of creation.

LYSANDRE: Zygarde is angry at the behavior of both people

and Pokémon.

LYSANDRE: The discipline of this world has been lost.

Humanity is out of control. We have forgotten how to share!

LYSANDRE: Without sharing,

people begin to steal from each other.

LYSANDRE: When that happens, there is not enough for anyone!

In order to live in peace without stealing,

we must reduce the number of beings on this planet.

LYSANDRE: Only the chosen ones will move into our bright,

hopeful future!

LYSANDRE: We of Team Flare, along with the fury of Zygarde,

will be the ones who will make that judgment!

LYSANDRE: The new order will do away with the chaos

of the world and bring about the beautiful future we desire!

MAIRIN: But why?

TEAM FLARE GRUNT: Mairin?

We have orders from Lysandre to bring you to him right away.

MAIRIN: So you're the bad guys, too!

TEAM FLARE GRUNT: No.

We are doing all this for the cause of world peace.

MAIRIN: Stop!

MAIRIN: Professor?

SYCAMORE: Forcing anyone to do something against their will

is wrong... I don't like that.

TEAM FLARE GRUNT: Keep out of this!

TEAM FLARE GRUNT: Skorupi, Poison Sting!

SYCAMORE: Garchomp! Dragon Claw!

SKORUPI: [POISON STING MOVE] GARCHOMP: [DRAGON CLAW MOVE]

SYCAMORE: Are you okay?

MAIRIN: I'm fine, thanks to you, Professor.

But what about Alain?

SYCAMORE: You saw him?

MAIRIN: That's right. He was with Ash!

They were talking about Prism Tower.

SYCAMORE: I see...

SYCAMORE: He and Ash may be in grave danger...

SYCAMORE: We need to head there now. Stay close.

MAIRIN: 'Kay. I'm worried, Professor...

about all that stuff Lysandre was saying.

SYCAMORE: Yes. We have to be careful

and find out what's really going on.

XEROSIC: Hello, Alain! Lysandre's waiting...

ALAIN: What about Zygarde? Why did you involve Ash?!

XEROSIC: Lysandre will soon give you all the details.

ALAIN: Lysandre!

LYSANDRE: There you are, Alain.

What do you think? Isn't it exquisite?

LYSANDRE: Thanks to you, the system is complete.

ALAIN: But, wait. It still isn't...

LYSANDRE: The world will be at peace

just as I've been working toward.

B ZYGARDE %: [EFFORT]

LYSANDRE: Isn't it beautiful?

All of the ugliness is slowly disappearing. Behold!

LYSANDRE: You see,

Zygarde represents all of our anger and rage.

ALAIN: You're destroying the city and hurting people.

Is this really what you think world peace is about?

You said you're protecting us!

LYSANDRE: Yes,

I'm protecting the chosen ones only.

ZYGARDE %: [FURIOUS]

ZYGARDE %: What is it?

Aren't you able to hear my voice?

B ZYGARDE %: [IMPERIOUS]

MEGA BLAZIKEN: [BLAZE KICK MOVE]

BLAZIKEN MASK: That was close, young ones!

SERENA/BONNIE: Blaziken Mask!

BLAZIKEN MASK: I'm here now, so all of you can relax!

CLEMONT: Blaziken Mask,

I think the Prism Tower is the source for all this trouble!

CLEMONT: If you can go and help, maybe you can save Lumiose City!

BLAZIKEN MASK: Understood. Leave it to me.

You and the others seek safety!

CLEMONT: Come on! That's where my Gym is!

BONNIE: And Squishy, too!

BLAZIKEN MASK: Stay away! Who knows what I'll find there?

You could be in mortal danger!

BONNIE: But Squishy's my dear little friend!

CLEMONT: And I can't just abandon the Lumiose Gym!

I have precious memories there!

CLEMONT: If I don't do something,

I'll regret it forever!

BONNIE: Come on... SERENA: Let us go, too!

BLAZIKEN MASK: I understand.

I'll allow you to follow behind me.

But if there's any sign of danger,

you have to turn back.

SERENA/CLEMONT/BONNIE/CLEMBOT: Right!

ZYGARDE %: Wake up!

B ZYGARDE/ZYGARDE %: [BATTLING]

CLEMONT: Bonnie?!

BONNIE: It's Squishy...

SERENA: What's wrong?

BONNIE: Squishy's in a lot of pain. We've gotta hurry!

BLAZIKEN MASK: Almost there. Come on!

ALAIN: Lysandre, you said it yourself.

You had to be strong to protect the world.

Is this what you meant by that?

LYSANDRE: You speak of the power to protect.

Just what do you want to protect in the first place?

A tomorrow that is worse than today?

TEAM FLARE GRUNT: All preparations are complete.

LYSANDRE: Excellent.

CLEMONT: This is...horrible!

BONNIE: Where's Squishy?

BLAZIKEN MASK: First we secure the entrance! Use Flamethrower!

MEGA BLAZIKEN: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

BLAZIKEN MASK: Blaziken!

ALIANA: We can't allow that!

CLEMONT: Team Flare!

ALIANA: Sorry, but there's no way you're getting past us.

PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING] LYSANDRE: Hello, Ash.

ASH: Lysandre! Alain!

What's going on? Let us go!

LYSANDRE: Forgive me for your regrettably rough treatment...

but I can't release you.

ASH: Zygarde!

ASH: Alain, what's this about?

LYSANDRE: You see, Ash, you may be one of the chosen ones...

CLEMONT: Well, I think you're the ones who should be leaving!

CLEMONT: The Lumiose Gym is mine!

I have the right to be here!

BRYONY: Oh, puhleeze. ALIANA: Yeah...

SERENA: So Team Flare was behind all of this.

CLEMONT: Yes.

It looks to me like they're up to no good for sure.

BLAZIKEN MASK: The situation here

is more serious than I imagined!

BONNIE: It's Squishy!

ZYGARDE %: [CALLING]

just as Lysandre said that it would.

I will use force!
