McBusted's Pokémon Adventures Part 8 - The Ultra Scramble

 Here is part eight of my fan fiction for two of my favourite boy bands McFly and Busted in their super group McBusted where they continued their tour in the world of Pokémon at the Alola region from the Gen 7 games. McFly and Busted have arrived in the Alola region where they learned about Z-Moves from Lillie. However, Ultra Wormholes has started to appear throughout the region. Enjoy and stay tuned for more. 

The Ultra Scramble

 

Chapter 1: Aloha, Alola!

Two boy bands McFly and Busted together as their supergroup McBusted continued their tour around many Pokémon regions as they arrived in the Alola region; the region known for its tropical islands. The McBusted boys were greeted by the tropical breeze as soon as they stepped into Alola. “They’re pretty hot just like the jungle that I took part in for I’m a Celebrity” said Dougie. “Let’s see who is the king of the jungle here!” said Matt.

During their tour, the McBusted boys admired the many views and weather of Alola including the lush greenery, crystal-clear waters, and warm sunshine. They have caught and raised many new Pokémon including Decidueye for Danny, Kommo-o for Tom, Primarina for James, Lurantis for Charlie, Pyukumuku for Dougie, Golisopod for Matt and Incineroar for Harry. 

Raising and evolving Decidueye has reminded Danny the time when he held an Owl for the McFly Advent Calendar. Dougie got sunburned but he rubbed his sunburn using his Pyukumuku who had sticky mucous on its body which helped to soothe it. “How convenient!” said Dougie.

 They tried many activities and explored different places. Danny and James took part in Mantine Surf, riding on the manta ray-like Pokémon that surfs on the ocean waves. “I’ll reach you to the island!” said Danny. “Catch me if you can!” said James. Gallade, Gardevoir, Decidueye and Primarina were cheering them on. They were both an equal match, showing off different spinning techniques including the Lanturn 360 which involves doing a backflip, front flips and another backflip.

“I have my island experience like just for my Sugar Beach album. You don’t stand a chance!” bragged James. “Oh yeah? I’m tired of people mistaking me for you! For that, I’ll beat you!” boasted Danny just before they both bumped into a school of Tentacool, causing them to fall off from their Mantine. They held onto the Mantine tightly though they both see the funny side of it and laugh with amusement and enjoyment, playfully and affectionately splashing each other.

Tom, Matt and Charlie were exploring in the jungle and found a red panda-like Pokémon named Stufful. “Aw so cute!” said Tom who couldn’t resist it’s cute appearance. “I gotta catch it!” said Matt and tossed his Pokeball at it which made it jump towards their direction. “Aw, come here!” said Charlie with adoration, opening his arms but Stufful swung its arms and hit the nearby trees, causing the branches to fall which knocked down the trio. “Come back!” cried Matt as Stufful made it get away.

As they stood up, Stufful’s evolved form Bewear has unexpectedly made its appearance. It was a rather affectionate, friendly Pokémon that wanted to hug them. But they were wary of its huge appearance whose arms could crush them as shown when the tree branches were shattered by them as it excitedly ran towards them. “Let’s get out of here!” cried Tom and the three ran as fast as they could.

Dougie and Harry were exploring the tallest mountain in Alola Mount Lanakila. They were missing about, throwing snowballs at each other and other Pokémon. However, they got lost. “Well, looks like we’ll be freezing to death for our tour” said Dougie grimy. Luckily for them, an Alolan Ninetales has made its appearance. It rescued them by leading them to the way out. “Fascinating, I believe that this is one of the regional forms of Alola” said Harry. As they were near the mountain base, Harry said to it “Thank you Ninetales, we owe you one!” Dougie however said “Um, according to the Pokedex, the real reason why it guided is because it wants us to hurry up and leave.” This was proven true with Ninetales gave them a cold glare after it left them at the mountain base.

During the night outside of their hotel, Dougie spotted a Mimikyu, a particular ghostly Pokémon whose outfit resembled a Pikachu. “I wonder what’s underneath that Mimikyu?” said Dougie whose curiosity got the better of him. Just before he touched the bottom of its cloak, Tom rushed over to Dougie and quickly dragged him away. “I’ve just read the Pokedexs to not to look underneath its cloak! Honestly, we can’t go anywhere without you causing trouble!” ranted Tom.

 The next day, they met a young girl with long blonde hair and a wide-brimmed hat, holding a small, starry-eyed Pokémon in her arms. “Hi there, my name is Lille” said the girl shyly. “Hi, it’s nice to meet you” said James welcomingly. Danny, always the friendly one, kneels to get a closer look at Nebby. “Whoa, who's this little guy?” he said with curiosity.  “This is Nebby who is a Cosmog. It’s a special kind of Pokémon. I want to help it to grow stronger so I’m travelling with it” explained Lillie. “A Cosmog? I never thought I would see one of those here” said Tom with fascination. “I’m sure you’ll help it to become strong in no time” said Matt giving her his support.

“Thanks” said Lillie with a smile. She then remembered something. “Oh, I was meant to give you all these by Professor Kukui” said Lillie who got out several sparkling crystals for each of them. “Why thanks. Are these our island souvenirs?” asked Dougie. Lillie giggled and said “They are in a way but these are Z-Crystals which allows your Pokémon to perform special moves known as Z-Moves which is unique to Alola.” “A Z-Move huh? I’ll be eager to try them out” said Harry with his competitive spirit fired up.

Lillie added that they are required to perform unique poses to activate Z-Moves. “We shall give them a try!” said Matt. The boys were interested in learning these poses for their Pokémon including for their Gallade and Gardevoir such as Shattered Psyche, All-Out Pummeling and Twinkle Tackle although they all couldn’t quite get the poses right. They either tripped over, got the poses mixed up or forgot which pose to use. “Looks like it’s going to take some time mastering them” said Charlie after he feel flat on his butt. “Giving me more workouts than the ones from Harry’s Get Fit, Get Happy” said James. “Was it to you?!” said Harry with indignity. “It’ll be good if we use this tour to practise them” said Dougie with his innovative thinking.

They were able to get better with their Z-Move posing as they demonstrated to their fans on tour although there are times when they still had some mishaps including one time during their show in Malie City when Danny and Matt tried to perform one of the Z-Moves poses but Danny tripped over on his backside and Matt nearly fell off the stage. But they were saved by their Decidueye holding Danny with its wings and Golisopod  catching Matt with its massive claws. “Thanks there Decidueye!” said Danny. “Yeah, that was a close save” said Matt. Decidueye and Golisopod replied with a chittering sound that sounded like they’re chuckling. “Well you both sure set the stage” said Tom who saw this. Nevertheless, they had fun posing and their audience found it amusing.

But little that they know that their Z-Move training will come in use for what is about to come for the whole of Alola.

 Chapter 2: A troubled family

A distressed Lillie has rushed over to the McBusted who immediately tell that something isn’t right.  “Lillie, what’s wrong?” asked Danny with concern. “It’s Nebby! I need your help!” she cried. “We’ll help you right away!” said Tom. “Anything for a friend!” said James who is ready for action.

Lillie has taken them to Aether Paradise’s Labs which is a large research facility located in the middle of Alola on the ocean, designed to look after injured Pokémon. The McBusted boys helped Lillie to take out the Team Skull and Aether Foundation’s Pokémon as Lillie took them to the lab where Nebby was held hostage.

  Along the way, Lillie told them about her Mother Lusamine who used to be a kind woman until her Father Mohn accidentally fell into an Ultra Wormhole while researching about them. This has caused Lusamine to snap, going to extreme lengths to find a way to open Ultra Wormholes at will to get her husband back which has caused her to become neglectful and abusive to her and her Brother Gladion (including getting them to do the chores perfectly and punishing for any mistakes and not getting them tickets for the McBusted tour because she was busy with her research). This has led Lusamine to find Nebby who planned to use its powers to open Ultra Wormholes. Lillie and Gladion were against it with Lillie hiding Nebby from her but Team Skull’s boss Guzma has managed to get hold of it as requested by Lusamine.

  “Oh boy, it looks like some family drama here” said Dougie wearily. “I’m sorry to have dragged you all into this but I need your help for us to become a family again” said Lillie with guilt. The McBusted boys understood her feelings having no one else but her Brother to turn to. “Don’t worry, we’ll do what we can to help out” said Harry reassuring her. “Yeah, leave it to us!” said Matt. They eventually reached Lusamine’s lab where they found Neddy on a machine that was giving it painful shocks, set by Lusamine.

 “Mother, stop! Can’t you see that your obsession with opening Ultra Wormholes will cause not only harm to Nebby but to the entire Alola region?!” cried the stern-looking boy Gladion who is Lillie’s Brother, using his Type Null and Lycanroc Midnight Form to battle Lusamine’s Salazzle and Froslass. “Obsession? I am doing this to get your Father back! How is this obsession?” said Lusamine mockingly as her Salazzle and Froslass were beating Gladion’s Pokémon with their corrosive Poison-type moves and icy chilled ice-type moves. The McBusted boys used Gallade and Gardevoir to help out Gladion by protecting Type Null and Lyconroc with their Psyblade and Lumina Crash.

 Lusumine noticed that Lillie had brought the McBusted boys. She pretended to act sweet and said “Why Lillie, how nice to bring those boys from McFly and Busted. We’re a huge fan of their music.” The McBusted boys weren’t fooled by their flattery with Charlie asking “Why are you doing this to Nebby? This doesn’t look right. I think your daughter is worried about you.” “You shouldn’t need to worry, I am only borrowing Nebby’s powers to open up those Ultra Wormholes to get our Father back who went missing by those wormholes. My children are being rebellious but I have to open these Ultra Wormholes at any cost. I am a genius Mother after all as you can see with the Pokémon that I have protected for entirety” answered Lusumine with a sinister smile, pointing to the glass chamber that contains Pokémon that she froze with help from her Froslass. The McBusted boys were unnerved by the sight of preserved Pokémon as well Lusumine’s obsessive insanity.

 “This has to stop Mother! I want Father back but what you’re doing is wrong!” yelled Gladion. Lusumine lost her temper and cried “I have worked hard to get your Father back and this is how you repay me? Just wait until he hears how rebellious you both have become you ungrateful brats!” The McBusted boys figured that she had gone too far to be reasoned with so they commanded Gallade and Gardevoir to free Nebby using Psyblade and Lumina Crush. As they rescued Nebby, it evolved into Cosmoem who appeared to be dormant because of its cocoon-like state.

 By this time, many Ultra Wormholes have appeared throughout Alola with otherworldly Pokémon appearing wreaking havoc. “What on earth are those freaks?!” exclaimed Dougie. “They’re Ultra Beasts! This is what you really wanted Mother?!” exclaimed Gladion. “Look, it’s those Ultra Wormholes! Soon we’ll be reunited with my husband” said Lusumine as she was looking at the Wormholes with glee, unsurprisingly too obsessive to comprehend.

 Knowing that there was no point reasoning with his Mother, Gladion escorted everyone to a room where there several blue Pokeballs known as Beast Balls. Gladion said to the McBusted boys, “If Lillie trusts you all, then please, help us to capture these Ultra Beasts so that we can send them back to their world before they could destroy Alola.” “Why of course! We shall call this operation Ultra Beast hunt!” replied James. “Gotta catch them all!” said Danny. 

 Chapter 3: Ultra Beasts Unleashed

 The Ultra Beasts were causing destruction everywhere, damaging people’s houses and destroying Pokémon’s homes. Tom, Danny, James and Lillie have encountered three of them including Nihilego, Buzzwole and Pheromosa at Melemele Island. The Ultra Beasts were tough opponents with the jellyfish like Ultra Beast Nihilego firing its deadly Poison-type moves, Buzzwole which looks like a muscular mosquito using brute force with its big muscles and likes to show them with its poses and Pheromosa which resembles a beautiful cockroach dodging moves with its Speed.

 But the McBusted boys were able to stand a chance against them by using their Pokémon’s Z-Moves to deal lots of damage while mastering their poses. “Now, fire away!” said Danny as his arrow wielding owl Decidueye performed its signature Z-Move Sinister Arrow Raid, shooting out lots of arrows at Buzzwole who wasn’t able to escape from multiple arrows even with its muscles. Danny pulled a goofy face while posing the Z-Move.

 “Time for a symphony!” said James as his singing Sea-Lion Primarina summoned a giant bubble and unleashed it towards Pheromosa who couldn’t escape from it using its signature Z-Move Oceanic Operetta. Once those two Ultra Beasts were down, Danny and James tossed their Beasts Balls at them, successfully capturing them. “And here’s one thing we’re good at!” said James. “I can concur!” cheered Danny as they both held their Beast Balls in triumphant. Their smiles has warmed each other's hearts. 

 Although they celebrated a bit too soon as Nihilego fired its Sludge Bomb towards their Pokémon. Lillie helped out with her Alolan Vulpix nicknamed Snowy which fired its Blizzard at the Sludge Bomb. “I may not be strong but I do my best to help out” said Lillie. “You did a great job there” said Danny thanking her.

 “Now leave it to me!” said Tom who used this chance to unleash the scaly Dragon type Kommo-o’s signature move Clangorous Soulblaze, firing huge purple shockwaves at Nihilego. Tom captured it with his Beast Ball afterwards. “This makes you and me the winners just like with The Voice as Team Tom and Danny!” cheered Danny high-fiving him. That memory has made them blush with affection. “And how about you signing up for a reality TV Show for you to win James? That way, you’ll be in the same league as us” said Tom. “Just you wait until we step into the ring!” replied James.

 On Akala Island, Dougie and Matt have found two Ultra Beasts. One resembled a Christmas Tree with electrical wires known as a Xurkitree and the other one looked like a huge space shuttle and a bamboo shot called Celesteela. Xurkitree fires jolts of electricity from its arms that resemble cables while absorbing electricity from nearby cables. Just when it was about to zap Dougie’s Sea Cumcumber like- Pokémon Pyukumuku, Matt’s Giant Isopod Golisopod struck first by ramming its giant claw using First Impression. “Thanks for the head start!” said Dougie as his Pyukumuku showed its appreciation to by giving Matt a thumbs up by spitting out its organs. Matt finds it charming and cute. “Now let’s turn out the lights!” said Dougie using his Z-Move All-About Pummelling with Pyukumuku pummelling Xurkitree with its fists made out of its organs. This was followed by Pyukumuku using Toxic to weaken Xurkitree.

 Celesteela launches itself into the air and fires projectiles including Flash Cannon from its arms that resemble bamboo storks.  It was about to crash into Dougie and Matt using Heavy Slam but with his quick thinking, Matt unleashed Golisopod’s Z-Move Savage Spinout, using the web to capture Celesteela. Although Celesteela normally resisted the move, it was unable to escape the giant web. “Now let’s crash this thing to the ground!” said Matt who then told his Golisopod to follow up the attack with Liquidation. Dougie admired Matt’s bold bravery that made him to take risks. They both captured the Ultra Beasts in their Beast Balls afterwards.

 Charlie and Harry were at Po Town on Ula’Ula Island where they have found two Ultra Beasts; the tiny blade that looks like an Origami human Kartana and a huge fat dragon with a mouth that looks like a massive portal on the inside Guzzlord. Kartana was chasing Team Skull grunts while slicing the nearby trees and Guzzlord was eating their Shady House. “Don’t just stand there! Help us to get rid of those fiends!” yelled Guzma. “So you’re the Team Skull punks who tried to sneak into our shows and stole Nebby earlier” said Harry cheekily. “That maybe true but that Lusamine has gone completely bonkers...but hey this isn’t a time to chat!” cried Guzma. “Well you all better not cause any more trouble” said Charlie.

 Kartana struck hard and fast like a samurai cutting through its foes which made it difficult to attack it. But Charlie had an idea. He commanded his Orchid-Mantis like Pokémon Lurantis to fire its Leaf Storm towards Kartana’s direction. Although it wouldn’t hurt Kartana that much because it resisted Grass type moves, the leaves helped to distract Kartana who occupied itself cutting through the leaves. “Just right where I wanted you!” said Charlie with his Lurantis slamming into Kartana using Super Power. Having to use both Leaf Storm and Super Power, Lurantis was powered up with its ability Contrary (which would otherwise lower its stats upon using those two moves). “That was smart of you” complemented Harry. “It’s just like coming up with a smash hit!” said Charlie who wrapped it up by using his Z-Move Black Hole Eclipse. Upon activating it, Lurantis traps Kartana into a black hole which explodes on it afterwards.

 “Think it’s up for a challenge?!” said Harry with his wrestling Tiger Incineroar charging up to the Guzzlord, letting out a roar which intimidated Guzzlord. “Not so scary now are you?!” boasted Harry. Guzzlord responded by slamming its claws towards Incineroar using Knock Off. Guzzlord then its jaw towards Incineroar using Crunch but Harry told it to make a getaway using U-Turn. Incineroar leapt from the ground to escape from Guzzlord. “And now, eat this!” called Harry as he activated Incineroar’s signature Z-Move Malicious Moonsault. Charged up with Z Power, Incineroar jumps into the air and lands on Guzzlord with great force, causing a huge explosion.

 Charlie admired Harry’s competitive nature while Harry was impressed with Charlie’s creativity. They both captured Kartana and Guzzlord with their Beast Balls. Guzma gave them his mutual thanks for saving his grunts but told them to stop Lusamine for her own good.

 On Poni Island where everyone regrouped, they found Stakataka which resembled a huge brick and Blacephalon which is a colourful Ultra Beast that looks like a clown.  Gladion helped Busted’s Gardevoir and McFly’s Gallade to fight the respective Ultra Beast with his Type Null. Those two Ultra Beasts were rather strong with Stakataka’s huge defensives (as said by Matt How can we tear down this wall?!”) and Blacephalon tossing its ball-like head that explodes which caused Dougie to fall on Danny who landed flat on his butt. “This is why I hate clowns” cried Dougie dramatically. Lille sends out her Clefairy to help out using Metronome but the move chosen was Splash which did absolutely nothing. “Sorry, it normally chooses powerful moves” said Lille blushing. “Guess that’s randomness for you” said James.

 “I must get stronger to bring my family back!” said Gladion. Responding to his will, Type Null’s helmet has broken off, evolving it to Silvally. Gladion used this chance to toss a disc called a Ground Memory towards Silvally’s disk drive on its head. “And now, shatter them to the ground!” commanded Gladion as his Silvally unleashed its Multi Attack. Being a Ground type move, it was super effective on these two Ultra Beasts. “Now that’s an amazing evolution!” cheered Danny. Gardevoir and Gallade followed up their attacks with their Aura Sphere and Night Slash. Stakataka and Blacephalon were captured afterwards.

 They then found a group of Poipole who were lost as they were wandering about in confusion. They resemble purple bee lava. “We’ll help you to get back to the wormhole” said Tom. They seemed to understand him as they approached the group. However, it’s evolved from Naganadel which looks like a purple wasp dragon has shown up, mistaking them for attacking its Poipole. “Hey! Quit attacking us!” yelled Charlie as Naganadel attacked them by firing its Sludge Bomb from its stinger. Lillie ordered Clefairy to use its Metronome to help them. The move it chose was Explosion which took out the Sludge Bomb but it was knocked out as a result. “Well, that was a bang” said Harry as Lillie returned it to its Pokeball.

 Just as Naganadel was about to fire its Dragon Pulse at them, Cosmoen evolved into Solegleo, the metallic lion-like Pokémon with the power of the sun. “Nebby, you evolved!” said Lillie with astonishment as Solegleo charged in using Sunsteel Strike on Naganadel. “Way a go Nebby!” cheered Danny. They captured Nagandel and the Poipole followed them.

 They arrived at the huge altar known as Altar of the Sunne where a huge Ultra Wormhole is located. “What a huge altar” said Matt with fascination. “This is where Nebby has come from” said Lillie. “We should use this Ultra Wormhole to send those Ultra Beasts back to their home but first, we need to use Nebby’s powers to close the other Ultra Wormholes to make sure that nothing else comes out of them” said Gladion. “That sounds great, we can protect Alola for our fans and Pokémon” said Charlie.

 However, Nebby’s power to open wormholes was depleted due to the experiment that was conducted on it and the energy it used to evolve. “Oh Nebby, if only we can help” said Lillie sadly. All is not lost as the McBusted boys have found a mural on the wall which shows some musical notes. “I think there’s a way we can help to restore Nebby’s powers. The mural said that should the beast that devour the sun or the beast that devours the moon require your aid, then play this tune for our people to pass on; The Harmony of the light” said Tom. “We’re musicians and have helped Pokémon with our music before so we should make it work” said James, eager to give it a go. “Yes, anything to help Nebby!” said Lillie, looking forward to hearing their music.

 The McBusted boys gathered their instruments and played a short but peaceful tune that sounded like a flute playing. This has helped to restore Nebby’s powers to close Ultra Wormholes as said by Danny “Glad to help out. Go for it Nebby.” They released the Ultra Beasts that they have caught into the bigger Ultra Wormhole and escorted the Poipoles back to their home. Just as the Ultra Wormhole was closing, Lusamine has appeared. “Mohn...My Mohn...I have waited to be reunited...I can’t let my hard work be thrown away!...” said Lusamine who was unstable. “Mother, please wait!” cried Lillie as Lusamine was slowly making her way towards the wormhole. “Don’t go any further! You must listen to her!” said Danny backing her up. “Get out of my way! How much longer I have to wait until this day?! You children should know better  to listen to adults! And you pop stars should stay out of our business!” snapped Lusamine, pushing her children and the McBusted Boys out of the way as she went into the wormhole.

 Within seconds however, a terrified Lusamine came out of the wormhole, crying “Everyone...run away...that thing...is a monster!” and a huge, black prism-like Pokémon emerged out of the wormhole. "What on earth is that thing?!" exclaimed Matt. “Is that another one of those Ultra Beasts?!” asked Dougie in awe. “No...it’s Necromza!” answered Gladion in fear. Necromza angrily fired its Proton Geysers everywhere, hitting Nebby. Necromza then proceeded to absorb Nebby, becoming Dusk Mane Necromza and went back to the Ultra Wormhole. “Nebby!” screamed Lillie.

 As a result of light being drawn from Alola, the region became covered in darkness. “Looks like we got ourselves into a bigger mess” said Harry wearily.  “...This is...not what I wanted!” cried Lusamine, horrified at what she had done. The McBusted boys were still determined to save Nebby and the entire Alola region with Danny, full of optimism saying “This isn’t over yet! Let’s go and save Nebby!” “Yeah, we shall be the light!” said James. “But how? That Necromza attacks anything that goes near it” said Lusamine. “But we have to try Mother! It’s the only way we can help Nebby!” said Lillie inspired by the McBusted boy’s encouragement. “She’s right. The whole of Alola will remain dark if we don’t do something” added Gladion. Lusamine smiled and said “Why haven’t you foolish children of mine grown? So brave and kind.” Her children we happy to see their Mother slowly coming back to her senses. The McBusted boys were happy for them too. “Follow our league and let’s get out there!” said Harry as they all entered the Ultra Wormhole.

 Chapter 4: Fight against the Binding One

 The McBusted boys, Lillie and her family have arrived in a strange world in Ultra Space resembling a huge futuristic city known as Ultra Megalopolis. “Are we in the Year 3000?” asked Matt as they looked around with fascination. “Well it’s not underwater” added James. “There’s something about it that brings me back to the days when we made our Super City site” said Dougie.

They then found a man with blond hair who said to them “Oh hello, I didn’t expect to see any visitors here”. Lusamine and her children recognised the man. “...Mohn!” cried Lusamine. “Father!” added Lillie and Gladion with emotion. “...Lusamine! Lillie! Gladion!” said Mohn and they all embraced each other. The McBusted boys were happy to see their family reunited. “Well, never expected our rescue mission to turn out like this” said Charlie smiling. “Times like this makes me think of my family” said Tom with emotion.

Mohn explained that the people from Ultra Megalopolis have helped to look after him, healing his injuries and restoring his memory. He also shared them about Necromza as told by the people, saying that it was known as The Binding One who spread its light energy known as Z-Power throughout Ultra Wormholes and into the Alola region which was used for Z-Moves.  However, it became weakened when the Ultra Megalopolis people tried to control it so that they could recreate the light it shared, resulting in it becoming aggressive and in be in constant pain as it became its black-prism-like shape. “That’s why it wants Solgeleo to restore the light it once had so it must never be released out of this world” explained Mohn. This made Lusamine guilty even further for her actions.

Dusk Mane Necromza made its appearance in front of them who instantly underwent Ultra Burst in a flash of light, becoming its true form Ultra Necromza. “Woah! It’s so binding!” cried Danny who was gobsmacked with this transformation. “We’ll be needing to give everything we got!” said Tom with determination.

Despite the McBusted boys working together, Ultra Necromza was far from an easy opponent who hits fast and hard; dodging Decidueye and Kommo-o’s Spirit Shackle and Clanging Scales and striking them with its Outrage. Incineroar attempted to restrain it using its Darkest Lariat, only for it to get overwhelmed by Ultra Necromza’s sheer strength.  Lurantis and Golisopod tried to ambush it with their Knock Off and First Impression but Ultra Necromza stopped their tracks with its wings using Smart Strike. It also fired Photon Geysers that overpowered Primarina’s Sparking Aria and shattered Reflect and Light Screen set by Pyukumuku. As Ultra Necromza fired its Power Gem, Gallade and Gardevoir used Close Combat and Moonblast to intercept the attacks but they got hit by Photon Geyser.

“This isn’t looking good” said Dougie nervously. “Come on, hang in there!” called Harry. In response, their Pokémon combined their moves as suggested by the McBusted boys including Decidueye and Gallade slashing Ultra Necromza at close range using Leaf Blade and Psyblade when it used Smart Strike, Gardevoir and Primarina combining their Moonblast, Golisopod and Incineroar charging in together with their Aqua Jet and Flare Blitz while it was using Outrage, Lurantis and Kommo-o fighting through its Power Gem with Close Combat and Leaf Storm and Pyukumuku using Counter when Ultra Necromza got near to its allies. Although their teamwork caught Ultra Necromza off guard and dealt a fair amount of damage, it wasn’t enough to defeat it as it fired its Photon Geyser towards the floor near them with a huge blast knocking them down.

“If only we could use our Z-Moves” said Charlie with its power already has been used up. As if it heard them, a part of Nebby within Ultra Necromza was able to temporarily regain control from Necromza who bestowed its light onto their Z Rings. “Thanks Nebby, it’s just what we needed!” said Matt as they noticed that their Z Ring was restored. They decided to use their Psychium Z for their Gallade and Gardevoir.

“You both ready?” asked Danny. “Let’s combine our minds as one!” said James. Gallade and Gardevoir nodded at them as the McBusted boys all together performed their Z Pose, activating their Psychium Z which enables Gallade and Gardevoir to use Shattered Psyche. While Ultra Necromza would normally resist Psychic type moves, the combined minds of the McBusted boys, Gallade and Gardevoir have helped to trap Ultra Necromza. The supernova-like Dragon was then moved by their telekinesis towards their other Pokémon which allowed them to attack it directly. This was enough to overwhelm Ultra Necromza, separating it from Nebby as Solegleo. “Woah! It’s like our combination for our performance!” said Charlie with amazement. “That’s McBusted for you!” said Tom with excitement. Necromza has retreated afterwards.

Nebby created an Ultra Wormhole as an exit. Back in the Altar of the Sunne, Nebby restored the light throughout Alola. “Shining a light for Alola once again” said Danny happily. “For people to sleep with the light on” added Charlie. Just then, a large bat-like Pokémon that resembled the Moon’s crescent Lunala appeared from the portal. It was a friend of Nebby who requested it to return to its world having to worry about it as a friend. Nebby bids its farewell to the group. “Goodbye Nebby and take care” said Lillie with a warm smile, hugging Nebby. “Have fun with Batman” said James as Nebby was reunited with Lunala and went into the Ultra Wormhole.

With Mohn reunited with his family, Lusamine has given her pardon to her children and the McBusted boys. “Both of you were right all along. I was so desperate to get your Father back that I lost my way. But no, I have no excuses for all the pain and damage I’ve caused” said Lusamine with remorse. She vows to spend more time with her children and to help to repair the damage caused by the Ultra Beasts to atone for her actions.

 She then admitted to the McBusted boys that they make a better role model for her children than she would. “Oh please, we’re not perfect. We only did what we needed to do to help out a fan of us” said Tom blushing. “But as long as you are willing to learn and make up for your actions as I have, then I know there is still some good in you” said Matt. “What matters the most is that we’re family again” said Gladion with a smile.

Soon after, the McBusted boys performed one last show at the Battle Royal Dome with Lillie and her family watching the show as their VIP guests. During the show, The McBusted boys performed an extended version of The Harmony of the Light and showed off their Z Move poses, showing that they have mastered them but also for the fun of it. This delighted the audience who recognised them as heroes. Danny has also shown his muscleman poses as inspired by his battle against Buzzwole which amuses the crowd. “Mushy is certainly the champion of the world” said Harry.

As the McBusted boys sang beneath the Alolan stars, they knew that they had not only saved Nebby but also the vast region of Alola. This is like one island vacation that they won’t forget as they waved goodbye to Lillie and her family having to bring them together, making their departure from the Alolan Sun for the next tour in the world of Pokémon which is bound to involve many more adventures yet to come.
