Chapter 10
After getting into Ash and Alice's room, Ash and Alice explain everything happened in the past, starting from how Team Rocket managed to control everyone in the world to hate Ash, and to how he finds his diary and asks Alice to help him with everything that has been so far. At first Red feels guilty for Delia, if he manages to give Delia the Aura Test, she wouldn't need to do that to Ash, causing him a lot of pain. And for the part about the disguises, Red is surprised that he manages to continue using their disguises that both Valerie and him likes to use, and he is very proud of them to continue what they didn't finish in the past.
And then Ash tells him about the recent events, about how Queen Ilene was perished because of breast cancer and how she passed the throne to Delia, making her the queen while Ash become the prince of the Rota, and how he stopped the Darkest Day and make the Sevestar Island into a Sevestar Region with the help of every Legendary Pokemon in existence. Red sighs as he really wants to see it in his own eyes, but he is really proud.
Ash and Alice also introduce Sarah and Chase to Red, since they are his grandchildren. And Red is surprised to learn that Chase gets the Masho Aura while Sarah gets the Ketchum aura, and just by chatting with them he is liking the two children. And the two of them also like their grandfather as they think that he is an interesting man.
Just then, one guard comes and says, "Prince Ash, Princess Alice, both of your mothers are back at the Rota Kingdom. Now that Mr. Red is here, are you going to tell them about the news?"
Ash and Alice sigh as they know that it is time to show them that Red is back to the world. They are now worried, since they don't know if they will be happy as they bring Red back, or they would be angry as they are abusing the aura powers to revive a dead person. Red assures Ash and Alice that no need to worry, as they go out of the room to confront them.
"Well Ash, Alice. I see you have returned to the kingdom early." Valerie says as Delia says, "Well, are you having lots of fun today?"
"Of course we have, Mother." Ash and Alice says in union. And Delia asks, "Where is Sarah and Chase? Aren't they with you?"
"Well, they are in their rooms with a person taking care of them..." Ash says, much to their confusion. But just as the person comes out while holding hands with Chase and Sarah, Delia and Valerie gasp as they can't believe their eyes.
"Hello, Delia. Valerie." Red says as Delia has mixed feelings, she quickly rushes towards Red and she asks, "Is that really you? Am I dreaming?"
Red smiles and says, "I am pretty sure that it is real. Delia. I hope that it is not a dream since I really want to embrace you again."
"Red...you're back!" Delia squeals in joy as she rests her head on him. "You are finally back..."
Red nods and he gives her a kiss on the cheeks, then he turns to Valerie and he says, "And it is nice to see you again, Valerie."
Valerie can only nod, as she also can't believe that Red is still alive. After the touching reunion, Delia asks, "So how are you alive? And why didn't you tell us? We thought that you were dead..."
"I was dead." Red says with a sad tone, and it causes them to frown, "But it seems like my son and my daughter-in-law manage to find a way to revive me from the dead."
"What?" As Delia and Valerie turn to the two of them, Ash says, "Mother, I am sorry to hide this from you, but according to Arceus, Alice and I are now the Master Rank Aura Users."
"Wait, for real?" Valerie asks in shock. "Master Rank Aura Users...that means you are able to perform moves that only Legendary Pokemon can use...including the moves that are able to revive people from the dead?"
"Yes. We know how you missed Mr. Red, so we decide to bring him back to our world." Alice says.
Delia and Valerie are now worried, as Delia asks, "There is no such thing as a free lunch, what did you lose in exchange to revive Red?"
Red says, "Don't worry, they didn't lose anything, though I lose all my aura powers and I am just like a normal human."
Ash says, "And he can't do the Aura Test as well, since the chances of his success is almost to none since he was revived."
"I see." Valerie sighs, "Is that okay for you? Red? Since you won't be able to use Aura powers."
"Don't worry." Red says. "I have been wanting to be a normal human for a long time."
Delia nods, then she smiles at Red, "Well, it is nice to see you back. I want to ask you a question, Red. Since I am a Queen of the Rota, I want to ask if you want to be the king?"
Red is surprised and he asks, "Are you sure about this? I mean...this is such a big news..."
Valerie and Delia giggle as Red is still acting the same as usual even though it has been a lot of years. And Delia just informs the guards to treat Red as the king as the guards obey without any question. After that, Delia decides to bring Red to her room, while Ash, Alice and Valerie go to call the others for a meeting.
Once Ash and Alice's family are now in the Rota Kingdom, Mark asks, "Brother? What are you calling us here for?"
Minami says, "Yeah, I was just finished my work as a lawyer, this have to be something special..."
Ash says, "Well, it sure is special, since we have some news to tell you."
As Delia comes with Red, the others are surprised to see him, and Trenor asks, "Brother? Who is he? He looks just like you when you disguised to challenge the Leagues..."
"This is our father, Red Ketchum." Ash says, causing the others to get shocked, Golly is the most emotional one as she knows her father as much as Ash do. Golly is the first one to give Red a hug.
"Dad...you're back!" Golly says as Red smiles, "It is good to see you again, Golly."
"So that is your father who was killed by Team Rocket in the past?" Eve asks, "How did you revive him and what happened?"
After telling them about what they learned back in the Sevestar Kingdom, true to say, everyone is shocked, and they are happy that they manage to revive Ash's father back into the world. And then Ash also introduces Mark, Minami, Insey, Trenor, Lillie and Gladion to Red as he tells them that they are his adopted children. Although it feels weird to call Red their father, but Red is also happy that they manage to save those people.
After that, they decide to have a celebration to welcome Red back to the world, as they invite a lot of their friends to celebrate. And Ash and Alice are forced to sing a song for them. Ash decides to start the first verse.
"Many nights we prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hope for a song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
You will when you believe"
Then Alice is the next one to sing the song.
"In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My hearts so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speakin' words
I never thought I'd say
There can be miracles
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill (Mmm)
Who knows what miracles you can achieve? (You can achieve)
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe"
Then they also ask everyone to join in the song as they sing together.
"They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says, help is very near, oh (Oh)
There can be miracles (Miracles)
When you believe (Boy, when you believe, yeah)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill (Hard to kill, oh, yeah)
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve, oh)
When you believe somehow you will (Somehow, somehow, somehow)
Now, you will (I know, I know, know)
You will when you (When you)
Believe
You will when you (You will when you)
Believe
Just believe (Believe)
Just believe
You will when you
Believe
After the song ends, everyone starts to cheer and Red even smiles, he says to Delia, "They sure have great voices."
"Of course, they are in a band for 10 years." Delia says and Red nods, "Not only that, Ash and Alice have been a great pair, don't you think?"
"You are right, my love." Red says with a flirty tone, and it causes Delia to blush as she hasn't done that for a while.
Ash says, "This song is for my father, even though he barely enters my life because of an incident that breaks a lot of people's heart, but I am glad to have him back to our lives once more. I wish that we will be able to cherish all those times and the moments that we spent together and let's hope it will be long-lasting."
The others cheer as Ash and Alice walk down the stairs as they go to the parents. Ash asks, "So how do you like it? Dad?"
Red says, "I am glad to hear your singing voices, you two did a great job on singing a song together."
Alice says, "You know, singing is how we met together as well, don't you agree? Ash?"
"Yeah. I really like your voice, and that is why we are able to achieve everything together." Ash says.
"Well, I don't think what you said is related to my voice though." Alice says with a tease, and Ash says, "Without your voice, I won't be able to meet you, and if I didn't meet you, I won't be able to achieve everything that happens until now."
"That's true." Alice giggles, and Delia turns to Red, "Don't you think that Ash is acting just like you in the past?"
"Well, it sure is true. Seems like he is following my footsteps after all. Well, I am very proud of him." Red says as they continue to enjoy the party.
Here is a new chapter, and this time everyone knows that Ash and Alice revive Red back into the world, though they were expecting that the parents might get angry, but it turns out that it went well in the end. I hope you like this two part chapter and the next one is going to be the time when Ash and the group are with Trenor at the Horse Racing stadium.
