Hello everyone, this is Raychiu, and I'm bringing you the epilogue of the story Ash's Ceolis Story. Though the main story is underwritten, I will like all of you to read that story before reading this one. I am not going to include every travel companion from Ash's journey into this story, as it is too much.
Chapter 1 Meeting Old Friends
Max, Dawn, Cilan, Bonnie, Mallow, Kiawe, Goh, and Chloe are taking the boat to the Ceolis Region, as their old friend, Ash Ketchum, and his girlfriend, Lillie, are inviting them to come. Everyone is happy for Ash to become the new Ceolis Champion, but because of some work or other stuff, they can't come, leaving only the eight of them to come to visit.
Dawn: According to Ash, we are going to meet him at a place called Virima Hotel.
Cilan: As a Hotel Connosseiur myself, I heard that it is one of the two best hotels in the Ceolis Region. It will be an honor to stay in such a place.
Max: Still don't know what you're talking about, but I can't wait to see Ash again.
Mallow: Though it is surprising to know that Ash and Lillie are dating...I mean, they are close back in Alola...
Then they continue to talk a while until they finally arrive at Virima City, they can find the Virima Hotel as the tallest building in the town, so they enter the place as go to the reception desk.
Receptionist: Welcome to Virima City Hotel, may I help you?
Chloe: (Takes out the invitation) We are invited by the Champion Ash Ketchum to come to this hotel, may I ask which room is he in?
Receptionist: Ah, you mean our Champion Ash Ketchum, he is right in the first room on the second floor, should I call him?
Chloe: Please do, tell him that his friends have come.
As the receptionist calls Ash from his room, the group are now talking to themselves once again.
Bonnie: It sure has been a while since we see him...I wonder how he looks right now?
Goh: Definitely something won't change. I mean, he might still be the same Ash, you know.
Dawn: I totally agree.
After a while, Ash Ketchum comes down with Serena. And Pikachu is walking with Snowy as they find the group of eight sitting at the sofa.
Ash: (Greets everyone) Hey everyone. How have you been?
Group: Ash! (Some of them rush to hug him, while some of them give him a shake. As for Lillie, Kiawe and Mallow are the ones who greet her.)
Lillie: Hello, everyone. It sure has been a while. (Bows to everyone in the room.)
Max: We have heard the news, congratulations on winning the Ceolis League, I heard that it has been a hard time, right?
Ash: It might be hard, but we enjoy it a lot. Everyone in the Ceolis Region is nice and friendly, and they are also strong as well.
Cilan: We heard that there are 18 gyms in this region. To be able to defeat all of them is no small feet.
Mallow: (Turns to Lillie and asks) And I heard that you two have been dating? How does it happen?
Lillie: (Having a faint blush) What do you mean by that?
Mallow: Come on, you know what I mean, how did you and Ash confess with each other?
Lillie: Well, we have been traveling for a while, having dates, and even doing stuff. But Ash and I have been scared to ask each other. It is until we were given the Luxury Suite in the Underwater Hotel that we finally confess to each other.
Dawn: Confessing underwater sounds romantic. Good for you.
Ash: (Looks around and asks) So there are only 8 of you?
Bonnie: Serena has some Kalos Queen duties, and Clemont has to stay in Lumiose City Gym, so only I come.
Max: And same goes to my sister, who has contest duties, and for those who can't come as well.
Ash: (Giving a little frown) I see...I was hoping we can have a reunion.'
Just then, Ash's stomach growls, and they give an embarrassing laugh.
Kiawe: Looks like you being a heavy eater doesn't change, huh? Ash?
Ash: I know, how about we talk in the restaurant? It is right over there.
The others nod as they go to the restaurant and they sit with each other. But just when Ash is about to order some food, the phone besides the desk rings, and the waitor answers it.
Waiter: Champion Ash, it is for you.
Ash: (Confused) For me? I wonder who is it. (Takes the phone from the waiter.)
?: Congratulations! You're the 999999999th caller!
Ash: (Confused) What do you mean 999999999th caller?
?: Just kidding, I haven't been keeping count. Thanks for calling anyway! (Ends the phone call)
Ash: What is going on? (He tries to dial the same phone number again with the help of the waiter.)
?: Congratulations! You're the – wait, you're the same caller from before! Did you really enjoy our conversation enough to call again? Or are you just bored and doing prank calls like me? That'd be hilarious if we're prank-calling each other! Have fun with whatever you're doing! (Ends the phone call)
Ash is starting to get annoyed at the phone call, and he decides to do it again to know what this prank-caller is doing. So without a doubt, he calls the same caller again.
?: Let me guess, the same person? Who are you, anyway? You can call me Z!"
Ash: (Annoyed) Z, right? I am the Champion of this region, Ash Ketchum. Just what are you doing with these prank calls?
Z: Wait, you're THE Ash? The new Ceolis League Champion?! I can't believe I didn't recognize you! But I guess the phone static distorts everyone's voices. I've been your fan ever since I saw you on TV!
Ash: (His anger suddenly leaves and now not knowing what to say) Um...thanks?
Z: Look, I'm going to be honest here. My full name is Zeraora, and I'm a Pokémon.
Ash is surprised as he knows what a Zeraora is, it is a Mythical Pokemon that is Electric Type, and he met twice, with one being in Fura City, and the other one being in the Ultra Ruins where he met its trainer named Dia.
Zeraora: I'm an Electric-type, and I can send electric signals to communicate through phones. I can even travel through the wires to reach you! I'd be honored if I could come along with you!
Just then, the phone suddenly moves on its own, causing everyone, including Lillie and the others, to be surprised. And then, a Zeraora just jumps out of the phone, appearing in front of Ash.
Max: Isn't that the Mythical Pokemon Zeraora? What is he doing here?
Bonnie: I don't know...but it is the first time I've seen one.
Ash is a little surprised as it is Zeraora, but he just takes out a Pokeball and captures it.
Goh: Did Ash just seriously capture a Zeraora?
Cilan: That sure is something like an aftertaste...
After Ash finishes the order, he returns to the table, still trying to process what has happened.
Lillie: So you somehow get another new Legendary Pokemon?
Ash: (Nods at his girlfriend) I know...I don't know how it happened...
Chloe: What do you mean by another? How many Legendary Pokemon and Mythical Pokemon did you have?
Ash: (Thinks for a while) Since Lillie and I share a Pokedex, I think we have some of them. I know that we have all the Ultra Beasts as they have been coming to us on our journey, and we got a Deoxys when we are about to go outer space...
Max: Wait, outer space? You have been to outer space?
Ash: Well, we went to Planet Disco, since that is where my Dad is..."
Goh: What? Is your dad even a human?
Ash: No, he is a Sea Star, his name is Ceolis, and the region is named after him.
Dawn: What is a Sea Star?
Lillie: It's complicated, but Ash is one of them, as they bear a star-shaped mark.
Goh: Since when we are talking about this, I still want to know what other Legendary Pokemon did you get?
Ash: (Sighs as Goh never changes) Well, and we did have a party on Planet Disco, with Palkia being the DJ.
Mallow: (Confused) Palkia being the DJ? Why do I feel something weird from that?
Lillie: It sure is weird if you think about it, but we also have that Palkia after Ash battled his father at the end of the party.
Ash: And that's it.
After talking a while, their meals come to the table, and when they are eating, Ash and Lillie mostly ask them about the others in the other regions except for Ceolis Region. Then Max is thinking something and he decides to ask Ash.
Max: Hey, Ash. What is the reason you call us here? Is it because you want to talk with us?
Ash: (Acting a little hurt) If I was just going to talk to you, why can't I just use something like Line meeting on the Internet? I call you here is because I want to show you around the whole Ceolis Region, just like the old times when we travel around the region together.
Bonnie: That sounds like a good idea! I mean, I want to see those who have helped you become the Champion.
Lillie: (Smiles at Bonnie) I'm sure you can, and they'll be happy to see you as well.
Kiawe: (Realize something) That reminds me, where is your brother? Lillie? I thought you came with him to this region...
Lillie: You mean Gladion? Oh, he is with his girlfriend around the region. Maybe we can meet them if we continue to travel.
Mallow: Gladion has a girlfriend? What a surprise.
Ash: (Shrugs) Gladion is dating my younger sister, Emily. They have been traveling together for a long time.
Max: Ash, you didn't tell me you have a sister.
Ash: My mom didn't tell me until I won the Monarch in the World Coronation Series. Speaking of which, my Mom also moves to South Virima City, which is really close to where we are. Maybe we can show you our house as well.
Dawn: That will be nice. I mean, this region sounds very interesting after all.
After they finish the meal, Ash and Lillie are showing around the hotel, and they are now at the Training Room.
Ash: There are actually three of the Training Rooms here in Ceolis, one being in this Virima Hotel, one being in Olidroll Police Station, and the final one being in Underwater Hotel. You can train your EVs here and you can also capture some Pokemon.
Lillie: And we did capture some of the Pokemon when we are training there. So maybe you can do that.
Goh: That sounds like fun, maybe I'll try to capture some Ceolis Pokemon as well.
Chloe: (Sighs) Typical Goh...
The others laugh and they continue to look around the hotel, until they finish, they go outside and now trying to explore Virima City.
And here is the first chapter, and as you can see, Ash and Lillie invite some of their friends to the Ceolis Region, and not to mention Ash captures a Zeraora with surprise and confusion. I did the same thing when I do that. For this story update, I will say that it will be after Ceolis Story updates the chapter(s) of that specific location in Ceolis Story. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be exploring the Virima City.
