Chapter 20 Overcasting in Wild Area

As they reach the restaurant, they see Chairman Rose, Oleana and, much to their surprise, Delia and Sonia are also there as well.

"Mother?" Ash is surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Hello to you, Ash, and to you guys as well." Delia says.

Rose says, "Indeed. Let's celebrate your recent victory, we saw the gym match and you guys sure are something."

"Thanks." Gloria says, as she is surprised that the Chairman says that to them.

Sonia says, "And it is nice to see you again, Elena. You sure have your father's looks."

Elena sighs, "It is nothing. So you are invited as well?"

"Yeah." As they take a seat, they have their orders. Delia says, "Hulbury is a seafood town."

Rose says, "Indeed. If one is going to eat here, the obvious choice is the local cuisine. Everything on the menu is delicious."

Elena asks Sonia, "By the way, how is Professor Magnolia getting on?"

Sonia says, "She is doing fine."

Rose says, "I am in debt of her. She was the one who figured out how to unleash the power of Wishing Stars and use that power to Dynamax Pokemon. We would never have been able to create Dynamax Bands without her."

"Indeed." Alice says. "Our bands are from her as well."

Sonia sighs and says, "She was saying that there's still so much we don't know about Dynamaxing. It's causing her some worry. She even made me take a Power Spot Detector with me when I started traveling..."

"A Power Spot Detector." Rose says. "That's the device that allow me to discover the Power Spots. Locations that emit Galar particles and allow Pokemon to Dynamax!"

Delia sighs, "I don't like hearing that Professor Magnolia is so worried, though. If only there were something I could do..."

"Mother...you are not the only one." Ash says. "We all are worried as well."

Rose says, "Delia, you have such a fine Prince."

"Why thank you." Delia says as she sips on a cup of Water. Rose turns back to Sonia, "Sonia, it may be good for you to visit the vault in Hammerlocke. I believe the key to unlocking the secrets of the Dynamax phenomenon lies in the history preserved there."

"Understood, Chairman. I will arrange a meeting with Ms. Sonia." Oleana says as she leaves.

After the lunch is ended, Oleana comes and says, "Chairman, it is time for you to leave now."

"But I've hardly had a chance to speak with Ash and his friends." Rose says. "It's regrettable, but I suppose it can't be helped. If something needs to get done, there's no time like present, after all."

Elena says, "Indeed. Dad and I have to leave now, in any case, we bid you farewell."

"See you." Ash says as he involuntarily gives her a hug, causing the girls to get a little jealous and Elena to blush a little, then she leaves with Rose and Oleana.

"Does he think he's doing me a favor?" Sonia sighs.

Delia says to the girl. "It is right that the vault would be a good place to look for info on the legends. But..."

"But what?" Lillie asks.

"Nothing." Delia says. "By the way, you got the Water Badge, yeah?"

Sonia says, "Defeating Nessa's no small feet. Nessa is a good friend. Perhaps I should drop in on her."

After Sonia leaves, Delia asks, "So Ash, Gloria, you two are going to Wedgehurst for the Normal Gym Badge, right? Then I suggest that you can take the Flying Taxi or the Train back."

"We will get on the train, Mother. Since we want to go to the wild area for Pokemon catching."

"I see. I bid you all good luck." Delia says as they bid farewell.


Now they are back to the Wild Area, Ash and the group are separated as they go capture new Pokemon. Dawn finds a Chinchou swimming around the lake, she says, "A Chinchou, Pachirisu, I choose you."

As she sends out the Pokemon, it immediately uses Discharge, but it doesn't have any effect. Ash says, "It's ability is Volt Absorb, it has no effect when using electric moves."

"I see." Dawn says, "Then use Super Fang." Pachirisu bites the Pokemon, causing it not to be able to escape, and then Dawn captures the Pokemon easily. "Nice one, Dawn." Gloria says.

"Yeah, the Volt Absorb might be powerful if it goes with Pachirisu." Dawn says with a smile. And then, Ash and Serena are walking as they notice a Gardevoir tending a Gallade with the Heal Pulse, but the power isn't enough. So Ash says, "Let us help you."

The two Pokemon notice that the prince is approaching as they bow, then Ash helps them tending the injuries and after that, they are fully healed. "Now you are free to leave now."

The two Pokemon look at each other and then they use Telepathy to tell them that they want to go with them.

"Sure, you can come with us." Ash says with a smile as they join the group. Serena notices that there are two sparkling glows on the ground and she gasps, "Look, Ash."

Ash sees it and gasps, "No way...that a Water Stone and a Leaf Stone. With these you can evolve your Lombre and Nuzleaf."

You're right." Serena says as she sends out the two Pokemon, they touch the stone and evolve, Serena smiles, "Now I have more possibilities to perform."

"Good for you." Ash says to her. Then he notices something, "And there is a Shiny Stone as well. I should give it to Gloria so that she can evolve her Minccino."

"Good idea." Serena says as they go find her, who has been training with her Minccino. Gloria hears the news and she immediately gives the stone to Minccino, and Minccino evolves into Cinccino in the end.

Dawn has been training with Budew at the same area, and Dawn's encouragement as well as cheer causing the Pokemon to evolve. "A Roselia...now you are going to be one step closer to Roserade."

"All you need is a Shiny Stone over there." Alice says to her as they see the stone on the ground. "Wow, what's going on here? Where did this stone come from?"

"I have no idea." Alice says. "But it will work."

Then Dawn evolves her Roselia into Roserade, and she likes it a lot.

Lillie also finds a Fire Stone and then she gives it to Ash, but then the two Vulpix wag their tails at their trainers. Ash says, "You guys want to evolve?"

Lillie is surprised, "Snowy? But what makes you change?"

"I want to be stronger, that's why." Snowy barks as Ash translates to her, then they agree to use the Fire and Ice Stone together, causing them to evolve.

After evolving Vulpix into Ninetales, Ash goes to find Alice. "Alice, there you are." Ash and the group see that Alice has set out a camp and a pot with food inside. "What are you doing?" Dawn says. "It smells good."

"I am making Curry." Alice says. "And besides, I have set a camp so we can have some rest here."

"That is nice of you." Ash says. "It sure is getting dark, we must get some rest after all."

"And I will like to try some of your curry." Gloria cheers as they start to help her and end the day with the camping.


Once Delia comes back to the castle after the talking with Professor Sonia, a guard tells her, "Your highness, they are coming here."

"They?" Delia asks, but then she gasps as she sees the traitors' ship is about to arrive at Wedgehurst. Delia thinks, "Oh no...although I asked the regions to enforces the harbors, but they are coming here this soon? This is bad...especially since Ash's third gym is going to be fighting with Namie..."

Adam walks towards her and asks, "What are we going to do now that they are approaching?"

"I will call Namie about this, and then we are going to protect Ash no matter what." Delia says as Adam nods.


Now here is a new chapter, and the traitors are going to arrive at the Galar Region. The next chapter will be the Normal Type date, but who will Ash be dating? And will the traitors interrupt it?
