Aftermath
"Ash, do you remember all the memories?" Lillie says, still looking at the unconscious Ash.
"I have never forgot the happy times we have been together. I really don't want it to end quickly..." Lillie says. "Please, wake up, please!"
Lillie can't help but burst out crying, she quickly cries on his body as her hands are on his hands. Just then, a pink light glows as Lillie looks at her hands.
"Heal Pulse..." Lillie says in wide eyes. "I learned Heal Pusle..." She looks at her hands and makes up her mind. "If it will save Ash, then so be it!"
She starts to concentrate her powers on her hand as the pulse starts to shine on Ash. But after 10 minutes, it bounces off as Lillie stands up.
"Let's do it again." Lillie says as she starts to do it, Pikachu and Sylveon are worried, but they couldn't do anything.
"Lillie." Aurora comes in the room, "Is Ash-" She is shocked to see Lillie trying to use Heal Pulse.
"You learned Heal Pulse?" Aurora asks.
Pikachu says, "Lillie is trying to save Ash herself. Queen Aurora."
Aurora nods and says, "Then I should help, too." She also uses her powers to help.
Lillie notices Aurora besides her, she says, "Aurora..."
"I couldn't just let you used up all your power. I'll help too." Aurora says.
Lillie nods as they keep trying to heal Ash. After a few more minutes, Lillie starts to collapse, Aurora says, "Lillie. That is enough. Leave the rest to me."
"No. I won't give up until it is over! I will save my loved! I finance! My future husband!" Lillie yells.
She powers up her pulse as Ash begins to glow, Aurora says, "Lillie. We should stop now. Ash can now use Recover."
As the two women stop, Ash starts to glow white as both of them cover their eyes. As the light fades, Ash starts to slowly open his eyes.
"Ash!" Lillie says excitedly.
Ash turns slightly as he says, "Mother...Lillie...Pikachu...Sylveon..." He tries to sit up, as Aurora helps him.
"How long did I pass out?" Ash asks.
"You have passed out for 3 days." Aurora says. "I am glad that you have waken up."
As Pikachu and Sylveon jump onto the bed as Ash pets them, he asks, "How about Gary and the others? Since their Toxical Perfume..."
Aurora says, "Those 8 have received their punishment from their parents. And besides, they have been hated by the whole school. I think it is enough punishment."
Ash sighs, "I see, so they would be in the situation I was in back at Kalos High."
Lillie says, "Yeah, Ash. You don't need to worry about them anymore."
Ash nods and then frowns, "I am really sorry. I really made all of you worried. I am the worst."
Aurora says, "Ash, don't say that to yourself. We all didn't expect that they will try to poison you."
"But I should be careful." Ash says.
Lillie says, "It is fine, Ash. No one blames you. We really want you to be back."
Ash smiles at them and says, "Thank you. But now I really need to finish the homework. I can't fall behind." He then stands up and Lillie follows him along with Aurora.
"Brother, good to see you back." Mark says as he gives him a bro hug.
"Sorry, I made you guys worried about me." Ash says.
"Don't be, it should be those guys that should apologize to you." Serena says.
"Serena is right. How dare they hurt you." Daniel says.
"At least the school hates them. But now are secret is gone to them." Minami says.
"It is fine." Golly says. "They can't capture all of us since our Pokeballs are hidden in the castle with high security."
Ash turns to look at the bullies, they are being glared by other classmates as they walk around. They want to be angry, but they can't.
"Well, since I now feel better, why don't we go check out the event in our company this night? We have fireworks there." Ash asks.
"Oh, that will be great." Alice says.
"But what about the outing permission?" Eve asks.
"Well, I how about this?" Trenor says as he takes out the paper with Professor Nora and Principal Aurora's signature.
"That is great." Elline says. "You really are quick."
"No problem. But we should wear formal when we are there." Ash says as they nod.
Meanwhile, the bullies hear everything, Misty says, "An event of RPA..."
"So? It is not like we can go." May says.
"But now we knew that weakling is Arceus, and we couldn't capture him since he is captured by his mother." Dawn says.
"And now everyone hates us for what we did. I wonder what is special of him?" Trip asks.
Gary says, "Even Gramps is now respect him instead of me."
Drew says, "We can think about it later. Right now I have another idea."
Paul asks, "And what is it?"
Drew says, "What if we challenge the gyms and then dethrone him from the Champion Position? Then we will get the lost fame."
Iris says, "That is a good idea. We will be the new Champions."
"That is if you are possible to beat us." Ash says as they walk closer.
"How dare you evasdrop us?" Misty asks angrily.
"You should keep your mouth lower, everyone in the classroom can hear you saying to challenge the gyms." Insey says.
"And besides, what makes you think you can pass the first gym?" Nate asks.
"We are stronger than you, that is enough for us to win." Gary says.
"Are you lying? You didn't manage to beat our Pokemon and you say that you are stronger than us?" Emily asks.
"This is really a new level of stupidity." David says as the others laugh. The bullies are now mad, May says, "Oh we will prove that we are better!"
Ash sighs, "Guys, stop laughing." He turns to the group. "Our schools have records of the battling, and your win rate isn't above 30% And we are 70% and higher. This is enough prove for us to show we are better."
As they turn around, Ash says, "I won't stop you for challenging the gyms, but a warning, you better throw away your arrogance and superiorty."
As the group leave the classroom, Lillie asks, "Ash, why are you giving them advice? They aren't worth it."
Ash says, "Even though I hate them, but as a model student, I can't ruin my image by picking on people."
Lillie smiles, "And this is why I love you." She gives him a little kiss.
Here is the new chapter, and Ash is now awake. The next chapter will be a Halloween special chapter.
