Chapter 63: Date and Travel

Ash and Lillie arrive at Sonata Hills, Lillie mutters, "This is the place where I got corrupted..."

"Yeah, after you leave, Reukra asks Taen to travel with us, and he is going to make the viral for you to return to normal."

"I see...and I heard from Taen that he managed to reunited with his mother back then and how he was pretended to betray the Timeless..." Lillie says.

"Yeah." Ash says. "Now let's continue forward, should we?"

Lillie nods as they go towards Route 10. But unknown to them, the traitors are following them and Brock says, "They are going on foot for now..."

"I wonder what they are up to this time..." Max mutters as they continue forward.


Then they arrive at the Maelstrom 9, Ash says, "Below this place is the base of the Abyssal Cult. And it is then that we learned the truth. The Abyssal Cult is not aiming for the Kyogre or Lugia. They want to summon an army of seas to rule the world. Not only that, Audrey had Arceus' crystal and I am forced to battle her."

"And I knew what happened...Malde and I were there and we took the Crystal that held Kyogre in place, causing Kyogre to return back to normal. But...I attacked you at that time as well..." Lillie says as tears start to form. "I am really sorry...Ash, for hurting you..."

Ash hugs Lillie and says, "It's fine, at least you are return to normal." Then they go to the Kepler City as they go meet Anastasia. Anastasia greets them and says, "Hello, Ash, Lillie. What do I owe you two?"

"We are just visiting the region since Lillie was controlled back then."

"I see." Anastasia says. "Lillie, I have made a Alolan Ninetales Armor, why don't you try it out?"

"Really? Let me see." As Lillie sends out Snowy, then she wears the armor and it becomes much stronger. "That's so amazing."

"I know." Anastasia says. "After all, these are easy to make."

Outside, the traitors are watching and Clemont says, "I must get that armor so I can study it..."

"But are you sure that she will try to reveal her secrets for you?" Oak asks.

But as Ash and Lillie are out, then Clemont goes to talk with Anastasia. After introducing himself, Anastasia says, "So you are the Lumiose City Gym Leader in Kalos. I heard that you are also an inventor, but your machines are kinda exploding every time."

This causes him to get embarrassed and then he asks if he can study the armors. Of course Anastasia refuses, she says, "This work is already fallen into the wrong hands before, so I am not going to reveal the secret. Though you can buy the armor yourself, but I am pretty sure that you could study it on your own, but you won't be able to duplicate."

This causes him to sigh and then he purchases one Flygon Armor to check it out. Then they quickly put it away and follow Ash and the others.


"So you mean that Reshiram and Zekrom were taken at Anastasia's workshop, but you guys managed to retrieve it?" Lillie asks.

"Yeah, it is another story to tell after all." Ash sighs. "And we are in Nasca Town, this place has a Safari Zone to capture Pokemon. And I found my Zoroark here as he helped me learn the truth of what the Cult of Darkrai leader Persephone wants."

"Revenge, right?" Lillie says. "I heard it from Persephone and Zenith themselves."

"Yeah. Over there is Murk Forest. Follow me tight." Ash says as she nod. But when they get inside, they see a lot of Pokemon living there and Ash says, "Well, this place sure is lively."

"I know." Just then, they hear a scream, causing Lillie to jump and hugs Ash tight. "What's that sound?"

Ash knows that the traitors are following them and he says, "Don't worry, Lillie. It is just one of those traitors who were following us, she was afraid of bugs."

"Wait, they followed us?" Lillie asks in shock.

"Yeah. But don't worry. As long as I am here, they won't be able to do anything." Lillie smiles back as Ash continues his story. "And then we were captured by a Delta Metagross, who tried to eat us as we were his preys."

"What?" Lillie is taken aback. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah." Ash says. "But don't worry. Arceus saved us and I captured him..."

"Speaking of Arceus and Giratina...I really missed them..." Lillie says with a frown.

"Yeah." Ash frowns as well. "But right now we are the current ones, so we must fulfill their wishes."

"You're right." Lillie says with a nod. As they continue the road, the traitors are behind and Iris says, "What a kid, you are afraid of Bug Types?"

"Says the girl who is afraid of Ice Types." Misty roars back.

"Quiet, we almost got seen." Oak says as they continue to follow them.


"This is Hekate Town." Ash says. "We were thinking about how we didn't encounter Infernal Cult back then, and then we found them here. When we found Zachary and Zenith, they were talking to each other about the prophecy that the fake Oracle foretold. But then Zachary betrayed Zenith and he was a member of Timeless after all."

"I know, he is your brother after all. By the way, I am glad that Serena and him are now dating." Lillie says.

"Yeah. I was worried about Serena, since she was threatened to say those to me...and then her heart was broken because of them...how ironic."

"I know." Lillie sighs. In Selene City, Ash says, "This place...it is where I fought Persephone for the first time. We both use Mega Zoroark, but I won in the end. Then Diana and Tobias told us everything about their family."

"I see." Lillie says. "And that is the Dragon Ruins, right?"

"Yeah, the place where Reukra tried to combine all the Tao Dragons into one, but he failed at that time since we don't know anything about the original name of the dragon. But I suggest that we shouldn't take too long to be here."

"Why?" Lillie asks.

"Because I know for someone who claims to be a Dragon Master would try to stay at the ruins as much as possible because of the place full with Dragon Types."

"I see..." As Ash and Lillie run, May says, "They are getting away!"

"But I want to find a dragon in this ruins!" Iris whines.

"We can do that later." Kiawe says as they chase them.


"This is Oranos Town, after this town will be the Amphitrite City, and then you know the rest."

"I see. But what is special about this place?" Lillie asks.

"You see, when we got there, Zachary was suddenly a famous person and we also saw an impostor on the stage over there. He tried to use you as a reason to give everyone a viral, which causes them to be controlled. Zenith was the one who did that. And he tried to stop us here, but he failed and we didn't get him."

"That is so mean. But at least he is good now." Lillie says.

Once they go to the Amphitrite City, Lillie hugs Ash and says, "Thank you, Ash. For showing me around the missing parts of this region."

"But we still have Mount. Rose." Ash says. "So it is not actually finished."

"But I don't wanna climb the mountain. So tell me once we are back in our hideout." Lillie gives a cute face on Ash as Ash is sweating.

"Okay." Ash says as he looks around, after seeing how the traitors aren't here, they quickly jump into the pool made by Giratina's portal and leave. The traitors are mad that they lose Ash and Lillie, so they decide to search the area for now.


Though this date is not an actual date for Ash and Lillie, since Lillie asks Ash to take her around the cities and towns that were missing. But I hope you like this chapter.
