Chapter 20

Ash manages to get all 18 types of Z Crystals with him and now they are back at the Kanto Region. Ash is inside the house with Delia while the others are going to Professor Oak's Lab.

Delia walks into the room and then she says, "Ash, I have some news that I need to tell you."

Ash asks, "What is it? Mom?"

Delia takes a deep breath and says, "Do you remember your Grandfather Alexander Ketchum?" Ash nods and she frowns, "He is going to retire as the King of the Galar Region and he is going to give me the throne."

This causes him to get surprised. "What? Why? And since when did he become a King and what is the Galar Region?"

Delia says, "I know you have a lot of questions. But the Galar Region is close to the Kalos Region with only a sea faraway. And you see, while your father is from the Rota Kingdom, I was actually from the Galar Region and I was raised by my mother in Kalos."

"No way...so there is a new region that I have never traveled before?" Ash asks in shock. "But you mean that Grandpa is going to retire? Why?"

"Because he is old." Delia frowns. "And his body is weaker day after day. Not only that, the president of the Macro Cosmos, Chairman Rose has been arrested for bringing out the Darkest Day, so that he can't handle the Galar Region anymore."

"I see..." Ash says, since he doesn't know what the Darkest Day mean, and he knows about Chairman Rose since he is his uncle, but him being arrested is what he can't believe.

"So what are we going to do? Are we going to move there?" Ash asks as she nods. "But what about Dad? Isn't that we staying in Kanto because we feel that he will return?"

Delia sighs and says, "I know. But I really miss him. I don't know what I have done to make him not return..." She is about to form tears and Ash hugs her. He says, "Mom, I am sure that Dad didn't hate you. I think he is afraid that you will be angry at him for leaving us too long."

Delia frowns and says, "I won't hate him, he should know about that. I love him so much that I can't bear being angry at him."

Ash nods and he decides to tell this to Dad later. But then after comforting his mother, he decides to tell the news to Professor Oak and Mohn, not to mention Lillie as well.


"So what are we doing again?" Amber asks as she is helping with the Aether Foundation along with her family. Kristen snickers and says, "You have to get used to it, since you won't need to go to that evil group again."

"Yeah, you force me to become their member because I was the only one that couldn't use Aura." Amber mutters, "But at least that I didn't get beaten by a nobody."

"Ash is not a nobody. He is the most handsome and talented trainer that I have ever seen. And it was a tie."

"Yeah, say that to yourself. I watched that a lot of times and I can't help but feel sorry for you to be beaten by Adam's son." Amber says, but then she freezes as she knows that she accidentally reveal the secret.

"Damn it...Ash and Lillie are going to kill me..." Amber thinks.

"THAT KID IS ADAM'S SON?" The crew are shocked and then Adam and Ruka walk inside. Adam says, "So Amber, you met my son huh? I am curious of how do you meet him?"

Amber says, "Let's say that he saved me from ever being a Team Rocket member again and he decides to be my teacher for using Aura."

Kristen yells, "You have him teaching you Aura? And I had to be taught by Mom and you got the most handsome teacher to teach you? Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you!"

"Because I am older than you." Amber says.

"And why didn't you introduce your son to me? I could have start seducing him when he was younger." Kristen says.

Adam says with a frown, "Because I have not seen him ever since I got here. Not that I know what he is going on now."

"And you are a bad whore..." Amber mutters, but she knows that Lillie didn't tell her about the relationship of her and Ash. But she can't believe that her sister has a crush on Ash as well.

"At least I have descent taste in men." Kristen retorts.

Gladion just mutters, "What is special about him anyways? To make you fall in love with him?"

"Oh please, if you are there, you will know that he is a prince." Kristen says dreamily which causes Amber to look at her in disgust.


Ash is sitting at the hidden spot with Lillie approaching him. Lillie says, "It sure has been days when we get back here."

"I know." Ash says. "Lillie, I have some interesting news to tell you. I am going to be a Prince."

"You already are my prince, Ash." Lillie giggles, "But do you mean that you are actually a royalty?"

"Yeah, turns out my Mom isn't from the Kalos but from Galar. Grandma Palermo is the one that raises her in the Kalos after she left there." Ash says. "And now that Grandpa is sick, which means that my Mom is the one that ascends the throne."

"Wow...That sounds amazing." Lillie says with a smile. "So who else knows about the truth?"

Ash frowns, "About that, I kinda tell those guys about it. And now they are thinking that they want to be my Princesses." This causes Lillie to get angry and she asks, "Can you give me some reasons why I can't kill them?"

"Because you would be put in jail, and I don't want that to happen. Besides, there will be a ball in the Galar Kingdom and I will want you to be my dance partner."

Lillie's stare softens and she smiles, "Sure, I will like to be your dance partner. But if that's going to happen, then does that mean we are going to reveal our secrets?"

Ash says, "I think I should try telling the others about our secrets, because what we are doing might hurting them in the end. Besides, they are suspecting me as I didn't feel like my old self in their opinion and of course I am not my old self because I have you. But I think we should reveal it boldly."

Lillie says, "You're right. Since I notice that Kristen is lusting over you and the earlier she knows the less pain she will receive."

Then they smile at each other as they kiss together as the sun goes down into the lake.


Here is another chapter, and I decide to have a little crossover with the Galar Story, Ash is the Prince of Galar, the concept is based from that story and I intend to use it here as well. I hope you like it.
