Story
Prologue: The End of the Beginning of the End
Part 9-1: Haunting the Past
Centuries ago, on Mt. Coronet, an Umbreon named Brenleno and his Rotom assistant named Tento were making a potion. The potion would supposedly give Brenleno eternal life, and according to a death clock he had, he would die soon. The potion, however, created a dark Mew that gave eternal life "in the afterlife". It flew up and blasted Mt. Coronet, destroying a good portion of it and killing Brenleno and Tento.
In the present time, Top was singing badly when Topper tried to stop him. Topper's Platinum Shroom rang, and he engaged in defenestration (using Top). He answered his PS, and on the other side was Rening, who was sensing an evil presence. Rening wanted them to come down and help him investigate, so they got ready to head to the Pokeworld.
Chapter 1: I'M SO EMOTIONAL!
Part 9-2: Verily Doth Evil Cometh
When they arrived in Twinleaf Town, they saw Professor Rowan with Rening. After learning they still didn't know what the problem was, a time machine fell down on Topper and Tig IX came out. After introductions, they had lunch. Lunch was interrupted by an explosion to the northwest, and everyone rushed there. Meanwhile, at Lake Verity, Mesprit was being kidnapped by Cassidy and Butch of Team Rocket! The group got there, but they managed to escape while some other Rocket Grunts attacked them.
Part 9-3: Rocket Battle 1
The heroes fought against a Crobat, Venomoth, Abomasnow, Aerodactyl and Lairon. Once they were defeated, they hurried to Lake Valor.
Chapter 2: Prepare for Trouble...
Part 9-4: Some Anime Title! Blaarg!
The action randomly switched to Ash, Brock and Dawn of the anime. And they were traveling when Jessie, James and Meowth appeared. After their motto, they were defeated and went blasting off again. When they crashed elsewhere, however, they saw some other Rocket members apparently waiting for Cassidy and Butch to arrive. They were late, though, so Jessie, James and Meowth went to try and kidnap it instead.
Part 9-5: Will They Succeed?
Team Rocket's first attempt sent them blasting off again, but the second time they used Wobbuffet to knock Azelf's attack back at it, immobilizing it. They then placed it in a capsule, and brought it to the other members. Just then, Cassidy and Butch appeared; they started arguing when the heroes arrived, but Team Rocket got away with Azelf and more grunts appeared to fight.
Part 9-6: Rocket Battle 2
The heroes fought against some Rocket's Electrode, Shiftry, Tentacruel, Gallade, and Skarmory. They then rushed north to try and stop them from kidnapping Uxie.
Chapter 3: Knowledge is Power
Part 9-7: Make it Quintuple!
At the Team Rocket Office Building, Jessie, James and Meowth encountered Butch and Cassidy and began arguing again when the door they were near opened up and Giovanni spoke to them, only in the distorted version of the early days of the anime. Giovanni told the five of them to work together to get Uxie, then told them to leave. Meanwhile, the heroes were making their way to Lake Acuity as fast as they could; when they arrived, though, they were too late, as they had Uxie, and prepared to fight them.
Part 9-8: Rocket Battle 3
The heroes began to fight against Jessie, James, Cassidy and Butch's Pokemon, and although it seemed like the heroes were winning, Butch had Shuckle use Sandstorm so that they could escape. Luckily, they had put a tracking device on them so they could follow them. Meanwhile, at the Team Rocket Base, Giovanni now had Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf...
Chapter 4: The Space-Time Continuum
Part 9-9: BOSS GIOVANNI would like to battle!
The heroes burst through a door into a room, only to find it was a broom closet, many of which they had found. Top began to get annoyed and opened another door, expecting another broom closet, and then closed it. In fact, it had Giovanni with Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf inside! Topper quickly kicked open the door, and they headed inside. Giovanni sent out a Nidoking, Kingler, Houndoom and Tyranitar. Before they had even finished the battle, Giovanni finished making a red chain and began to escape; they quickly ended the fight and freed Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf, then went after Giovanni.
Part 9-10: The New Master of Time and Space
At the Spear Pillar, Giovanni had just brought forth Dialga and Palkia when the heroes arrived and Tron paralyzed him. Giovanni shouted something about not needing this weakling anymore, and revealed to be Nocktor having possessed Giovanni! It was also revealed that Nocktor and absorbed Giratina and its abilities, and began fighting the heroes. During the fight, however, Nocktor realized he was wasting his time and grabbed Diagla and Palkia with his hands; he then absorbed them and their power; he then formed a hole in space that he went through. Stuffwell said that if left unchecked, the hole could destroy the world, and Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf went over to try and hold it down. The heroes then went through the hole to try and go after Nocktor.
Chapter 5: Future Shock
Part 9-11: Tron’s Game
When the heroes landed, they found themselves in an alley. Scorch couldn't figure out when or where they were, but then a Sandslash appeared trying to shoo them away. They learned the Sandslash was Tig VI, and was in fact the story's Tig's Great Grandfather. Tron was also there, but now a Magnezone. They learned they were in the year 3000, and Tig VI introduced them to his co-workers. Once that was done, they got back on track looking for Nocktor, and learned that a Haunter had been seen recently flying into space.
Unfortunately, there was a fuel shotage, so the only way to get into space was to enter a tournament hosted by Hedolax, the grand prize of which was Ho-Oh Fire Fuel. They signed up under Team Star Direct, and went off to fight against Team Yafor, led by Bobino XX's dark side, Yafor XX. At least three of his fighters were Chinese.
Part 9-12: Okay, So The Last Name Was Misleading. Big Deal.
Team Star Direct fought against Team Yafor, defeating them, after which they fought against The Steel Devil, a Heatran. During the fight, The Steel Devil turned it into a song, but was still defeated in the end.
Part 9-13: Obliteration
The final challenger was a massive Steelix named the Obliterator, a war game Steelix. Although it seemed unbeatable, Mawlee snuck below the arena and found her old martial arts instructor, Gonk, controlling it. She began to fight him, and in the end, managed to destroy his control panel controlling the Obliterator, and Team Star Direct won. With that, they got the Ho-Oh Fire Fuel. Unfortunately, Top dropped it, caught the story on fire, and next thing anyone knew they were flying on a giant Ho-Oh through space.
Meanwhile, on the Dimbus, Zap Brannchu was wondering what planet to attack next when he saw Mawlee on a giant Ho-Oh coming their way. Just then, however, the ship began to be rocked by explosions; they were under attack by Nocktor! The heroes came into the ship and encountered Nocktor, who yelled at them and escaped through a portal. The heroes jumped through, leaving the future characters behind.

Character Introductions
- THE HEROES
Group of Heroes Th— - GIOVANNI
Dark Leader of Team Rocket - OBLITERATOR
War Game Steelix
Beta Elements
The story's plot had a complete overhaul from the original; originally, there was no time travel or dimensional travel, and instead, when The Yoshi Bodyguards got to the Pokeworld they would have blacked out, and after coming to, they'd have all turned into Pokemon except for those who were already Pokemon, who would have turned into creatures from Star World. Beldam and Marilyn were planned to appear as well, working for Nocktor for some reason, as well as Bloo, who was now a part of The Shadow Sirens. The plot involved Nocktor being able to control Pokemon, which was why the YBs were turned into Pokemon. Ironically enough, the Shadow Sirens would appear in Unity of the Shadows, which occured at the exact same time as this one.
Trivia
- Although Chapter five was the first time Top, Oshy and Topper were signed up under a team name, Top would later come up with their official team name as Team TOT in Chapter ten.
Connections to Other Stories
- The story finishes the Pokemon Platinum Story Arc, the first story of which, ironically, had nothing to do with this story.
- Sneen previously had died in Icy Heart of Darkness! The Final Story of Sneen! Despite the name of said story, he returned in this one was sort of an honoring of him, sort of a one-final-appearance sort of thing.
- The final chapter was a crossover with The 1576 Kingdom Novel.
