"We leave this message for the extraterrestrials.
We know not how, or why, it will come.
Your life is limited, with no place here.
It shall be reversed, and then,
The world shall be re-inherited by Pokemon."

-Pokemon Sages' Prophecy

In her attempt she is put on trial by a group of Pokemon Sages, rulers of the underworld, but this leads to her finding a conspiracy between the Electric and Steel sages to bring about a prophecy that Pokemon would rule over Pokeworld once more, even though sages are not supposed to mess with the outside world.

Story

Chapter 1: The Pokemon Inheritance

Part 28-1: The Dominating Prophecy

Medulla begins to feel down in her lab, as all her recent plans have failed on her, usually exploding in her face. She tries to think of a new plan when she overhears on the news of a new temple found in the Ruins of Alph. She forms a plan to go there and fabricate a message that names her as the chosen ruler of Pokeworld.

Part 28-2: Kanto James

Medulla arrives at the Ruins of Alph and traps the archeologists there in their cabin so she could get into the ruins without them finding her. She then enters the ruins and is knocked about by a flurry of traps until she passes out in a room.

Part 28-3: The Pokemon Inherit

Medulla awakes and hurries to carve in her prophecy, but instead finding another prophecizing that Pokemon would re-inherit Pokeworld. About that time the archeologists show up and she hides; they find the prophecy, but it gives her an idea and she leaves. Returning to her lab, she notes that Pokemon is both the plural and singular form of the word.

Chapter 2: The Pokemon Ruler

Part 28-4: The Prophecy Revealed

The archeologists present their findings at a presentation in Saffron City. After some questions from reporters are answered, Medulla interrupts the conference and claims that the true message was that she would rule the planet, not Pokemon in general.

Part 28-5: Differing Voices

Over the next week the recent event creates a buzz throughout Pokeworld until a small riot erupts in Goldenrod City. At this point the Pokeworld Defensive Forces issues a statement to try and calm the tension. Meanwhile, Medulla appears on the talk show Late Show with Davie Numberm'n, where she goes into her past and decries Team Rocket. Giovanni gets wind of this, and declares they need to capture Medulla so she would stop besmirching their name.

Part 28-6: Kidnapped!

As Medulla walked home in the winter snow, Some Rocket Grunt emerged from the shadows to capture her. Some Rocket Grunt attacks her with his Murkrow, Trapinch and Spinarak, but during the battle the PDF arrived to take out Medulla. The soldiers and Some Rocket Grunt end up distracting one another and Medulla escapes to her lab, only to be caught in a burlap sack. A Sleep Powder then incapacitates her.

Chapter 3: The Pokemon Sages

Part 28-7: Welcome to Olympus Cave

Medulla awakes in a cave and sees a Yanmega and Vileplume (the ones who kidnapped her), along with a Haunter. They call the cave Olympus Cave, and a Mew appears to tell Medulla she is on trial for misusing a prophecy of the Pokemon Sages. 12 sages appear, one for each Pokemon type except Fighting; as soon as roll call is completed, Laggle, a Gallade, arrives late.

Part 28-8: Medulla's Trial

Medulla's trial begins, but Medulla demands on what grounds they have to put her on trial. They explain that they are the Pokemon Sages, rulers of the underworld and the ones to keep the world in balance, and Medulla's use of the prophecy has put the world off-balance, something that breaks Pokemon Sage code. Medulla claims that she did not know of the code, and if she had she would not have broken it; furthermore, she believes it her right, duty, and destiny to someday rule Pokeworld.

The sages point out Medulla's actions have caused tensions to rise between humans and Pokemon; Medulla makes the case that she must ascend to power to bring humans under control, but the sages point out that Medulla caused further chaos (and still broke the code.) Finally they take a vote, each sage speaking their decision out loud. By the time they get to Mew a majority has already been made, but the final vote is six for not guilty and eleven for guilty. Medulla is declared guilty, and by a 14-3 margin she is placed in custody of Churzle, a Raichu and the electric sage. The sages then disperse and leave her to Churzle.

Part 28-9: The Prophecy Fulfiller

Churzle leads Medulla through a tunnel in Olympus Cave and he explains that he wants her to make a machine he was building work, something that can teleport people between the various underworlds. The Steel Devil appears and they explain (in song form) that the two of them wish to fulfill the prophecy with Medulla's help, by releasing the Pokemon from the underworld back onto Pokeworld, the realm of the living.

Although the rules state sages are not to mess with prophecies or Pokeworld, Churzle admits he's tired of the rules and wants to free Pokemon. The Steel Devil tells Medulla she can join them and be regarded as heroes and the leaders of the new Pokemon-ruled world. Medulla says she fixed the machine during the song, but Churzle and the Steel Devil betray her. She tries to take back the machine but it activates and hits her, sending her away and leaving the two sages to begin their plan.

Chapter 4: An Abnormal Day

Part 28-10: In the Wrong Death

With Medulla out of the way, Churzle and the Steel Devil return to their respective underworlds to rally the Pokemon there. Meanwhile, Medulla appears in the Normal-type underworld. She meets a Meowth who is suspicious of her, as non-Normal-types were not supposed to appear there. He leads her to a building and locks her in.

Part 28-11: A Test of Sorts

Medulla finds herself in a room with a Regigigas who labels her as an intruder, and forces a quiz onto her; if she fails, she will perish. She gets every question right until the final one (asking about Donald Duck's uncles), causing the Regigigas to pound her with a Mega Punch. A Buneary hears the commotion outside and opens the door, allowing Medulla to escape. She then confronts the Meowth, Meouroguard, and they begin to fight when Wuggles appears to stop them.

Part 28-12: Traveling Across Deaths

Wuggles brings Medulla to her temple, a house carved from a tree, and Medulla explains to him what Churzle and the Steel Devil were planning. Wuggles shows Medulla that he has a portal to the Fire-type Underworld, as each underworld has two portals to others in a loop. The Steel-type Underworld portal is closed, though, and he forgot the code to open it, so Medulla agrees to go through the Fire and Water-type underworlds to reach Churzle in the Electric-type Underworld.

Regi Quiz 98

"QUESTION 1: YOU ARE A BULBASAUR! YOU ENTER A FIGHT AGAINST A WEEDLE! DO YOU USE VINE WHIP, POISONPOWDER, GROWTH, OR SYNTHESIS!?”
“All four of those attacks are at a disadvantage. Vine Whip is exceedingly weak against a Weedle, Poisonpowder would not affect it, Growth increases Special Attack, but as Vine Whip is a physical attack, it is useless, and Synthesis depends on the Bulbasaur's hit points. In the end, Vine Whip is the only true choice.”

"QUESTION 2: WHAT IS THE AVERAGE WEIGHT OF A STANTLER!?”
“Seventy-one point two one four zero zero two zero nine.”
“...ENGLISH SYSTEM PLEASE!”
“One hundred fifty-seven pounds.”

"QUESTION 3: WHAT POKEMON EVOLVE VIA A MOON STONE!?”
“Skitty, Clefairy, Nidorina, Nidorino, and Jigglypuff.”

"QUESTION 4: NAME THE NEXT 5 PRIME NUMBERS AFTER 37!?”
“41, 43, 47, 53, and 59."

"QUESTION 5: WHAT DOES DEFENSTRATION MEAN!?”
“The act of ejecting out a window.”

"QUESTION 6: WHAT POKEMON LEARNS AEROBLAST!?”
“Lugia, or a Smeargle after using Sketch.”

"QUESTION 7: WHAT IS 6076 DIVIDED BY 62!?”
“Ninety-eight.”

"FINAL QUESTION: WHO ARE DONALD DUCK'S TWO UNCLES?”
Although the correct answer is Scrooge McDuck and Ludwig Von Drake, Medulla did not get the question right.

Trivia

The title of this story is a reference to a phrase from a Bible proverb, which was then used as the title of a play: Inherit the Wind.
The original prophecy is a reference to Sub's stuff about humans being wiped out and leading to Yoki Yoki or something.
Davie Numberm'n is a parody of David Letterman, with the name being a joke on what Duth calls FF sometimes, "Numberm'n."
Medulla makes reference to meeting "another one of [Team Rocket's] experiments," Danny. She says she "was most likely their only success."
Another Steel Devil appeared in Pokemon Platinum 3, this one a Heatran. Because the Steel Devil is destroyed in this story, and the Heatran that appeared was of the future, it's possible that the Metagross Steel Devil is later replaced with a Heatran one.
