Chapter 5 Justice and Explanations
Those who don't know about the United Region are confused as they don't know what to say about in the meeting. Ash has been talking to the Professors and the Champions about Samuel Oak's punishment. And they are talking with the princes and princesses about the regional problems as well as the good news, such as Dark Region changing their ways from evil. The traitors are trying to listen to what they are saying, but they are as confused as the rest are since they don't know what Ash and the others are talking about.
"Now that's done, I will need to go with Mother to the International Police headquarters." Ash says as Aurora nods. "It's time to give out the punishment for Samuel Oak."
Aurora nods as they both leave and head towards the place. As they get there, they immediately called upon Professor Oak. Once he arrives at the interrogating room, he is just thinking, "How could I let this happen...when did that Ash Ketchum become the head of International Police..."
As the door opens, they find Ashlie and Aurora walking inside.
"You are...the world champion Ashlie..and Kanto Champion Aurora..." Professor Oak is shocked. "What are you doing here?"
"It is obvious, we are here to see the famous Professor Oak, but it is quite ironic that you are now arrested in the cell." Aurora shakes her head.
"It was a mistake! I didn't do anything at all! Please help me get out of here!" He says desperately.
"Didn't do anything? Then why did you try to frame Ash? It is because of him that the world is now in peace, he is our hero." Ashlie asks.
Professor Oak says, "Well...I...he hasn't grown up even though he helps save the world a lot of times, he has been slacking and the Pokemon World doesn't need someone who doesn't try to achieve anything."
Ashlie asks, "And saving the world doesn't achieve anything? As he says, due to that, he is the head of the International Police, and I know that some important figures, like Anabel, Looker, and even Lance are taken orders from him. Is winning the league the only way to achieve anything?"
Professor Oak says, "Well...That's not...but..." He doesn't know how to reply.
Aurora says, "Professor, I want you to tell the truth. Deep down inside, you didn't think Ash was what you said like that, right? You were blackmailed by others, is that right?"
Professor Oak widens his eyes and he realizes that Aurora knows the whole truth. He sighs and says, "I can't tell you that."
"You don't need to tell us." Ashlie shakes her head. "Ash has been investigating your case. Some people are greedy with his Pokemon, and they threaten to ruin all your hard work, the lab, your theories, and so on."
Professor Oak sighs and says, "I can't fool you, right? I had no other choice since I was outnumbered..."
Ashlie says, "But Samuel, even if I ask Ash to release you, the fact that you have betrayed the crowd's trust is hard to repair. You could have been attacked in the streets or being booed wherever you go. Besides, you know us as Aurora and Ashlie, but in fact, they are just disguises."
"Wh-What do you mean?" Professor Oak says.
Ashlie says, "You said that Ash is slacking, but are you sure you know the real Ash?"
"What?" Oak asks in surprise as Ashlie brings out an iPad and the Pokedex from his jacket. He presses the Pokedex and it says, "This Pokedex belongs to Ashura Red Satoshi Ketchum. Achievements: Eight League Champions, Eight Grand Festival winners. Head of the International Police, President of the RPA company..."
After hearing all the achievements of what he did, Professor Oak is in disbelief, "Ash? You are Ashlie? But why are you a girl and you look so much like Lillie..."
Ashlie sighs, "Even though I am mad that you try to make some excuses like I kidnapped Lillie, the girl I loved the most, but during a small accident, Lillie and I are forced to merge. When we were split, I have been treating Lillie well, and you even asked her brother to tear us apart. I am sure that you don't like to see families torn apart right?"
Aurora shakes her head and says, "To think you would do this to my son, this is unforgivable."
Oak says, "Then you are Delia? Why did you disguise yourselves? If you have told us then I wouldn't be doing this to you!"
Ashlie says, "You said that I haven't grown up, it is all a facade that I made since I don't want anyone to know that I am the Prince of the United Region."
Oak looks at them with shock, "United Region? You are from there?"
"My mother is the ruler of the United Region even though they have been split into 19 small regions." Ashlie says. "Before we come here, we had a meeting with the Professors and the Champions about your punishment. Even though you are blackmailed, framing is not tolerable. We have decided to force your retirement since you have been in old age, you may be able to keep your Pokemon, but you can't enter any League-associated business, such as challenging gyms or other things."
Oak sighs and says, "I guess this is reasonable. Considering that I did what I didn't want to do the most. And that way I won't have to worried about being blackmailed again."
Ashlie turns around to the guards and they try to take Professor Oak, before he is pulled away, Ashlie asks, "Any last words? Professor? I think I shouldn't call you that consider your title has been taken. I should say...Samuel?"
Professor Oak tries to think, as he remembers his enthusiasm as well as how he showed him the Pokedex. He lowers his head and says, "Yes. I am sorry to doubt you." Then he is taken away.
Ash changes back to his normal self, and then he starts to form tears as Aurora places her hand on her shoulder.
"Ash, are you fine?" Aurora asks.
"Why? Of all the people, why does he have to do this to us?" Ash cries. "It hurts to know since Professor Oak is like a grandfather to me."
Aurora hugs him and says, "I know, Ash. But things aren't going to be the way it was, we need to move on."
Ash nods and they head back to the house, on the road, the paparazzi are asking about Professor Oak's punishment. Ash has already stopped his crying and he responds to them with everything he knows.
Back at the house, the Champions and the Professors have already left, while the others are still there and the princes and the princesses are walking towards Ash, they have seen the news of Professor Oak's punishment, and they know how it is hard for them to accept it.
"Those people sure are evil..." Reisa comments. "To think they would blackmail Professor Oak to do such things..."
"I know...all they want is my Pokemon, that's why they do it. They are blinded by greed and they will do anything to get what they want, but that will change."
"What do you mean by that?" Helen asks, and Ash turns to Luke, "Luke, I want to ask, did you manage to switch the bank account?"
"Of course, Ash. We manage to lock the bank account and then switch it to another one so that those people won't have the money." Luke nods.
"What do you mean by that?" Mallow asks in confusion, and Ash points in the direction where the traitors are hiding, much to their surprise. "Daniel, if you may."
The traitors are surprised as they see Daniel sending out an Alakazam, and its eyes start to glow, Max knows the light and he yells, "No please wait..."
Everyone except Dawn is teleported away. Dawn looks around and says, "Hey, where did everyone go?"
"Don't worry, they are teleported somewhere far away, but knowing them, they could have teleported themselves back if they have a Psychic Type Pokemon."
"But Why didn't you also teleport her as well?" Mallow asks with a little anger voice, as it is one of the traitors that threatened them.
"Well, before the betrayal happens, the traitors have been financially hurting her family if she doesn't want to comply." Lillie says.
"With the RPA, we have managed to switch all the money in the bank account to another bank so the traitors can't access it." Mark says.
"Thank you guys for helping me..." Dawn says with tears in her eyes.
"No problem." Ash says as he gives her a brotherly hug. "And that will be all the people that are blackmailed, since we are done here, how about we go back to the United Region?"
The others nod as the princes and princesses leave with their own helicopters, except for Lillie and Gladion, as they want to go with Ash and the others.
"I wonder what the United Region will be like." Kiawe says, and then Ash and Lillie join in the conversation.
"You'll know once we arrive there." Ash says. "And here is our private jet."
They see a plane landing at the lab, Ash and his friends walk towards there and see a man come out.
"Your highness." The man, who seems to be the pilot, bows at Aurora.
"No need to be formal. And thank you for your arrival, our friends and I will be taking the plane back to the United Region."
"Of course. Please come aboard." The pilot says.
When they get inside the plane, they are stunned at the sight inside. Gladion says, "Wow, this is bigger and fancier than our Aether's."
Serena says, "Are we really riding on this plane?"
Trenor says, "Of course, being the most influential family in the world, it barely leaves a dent in our banks."
"Wow..." Dawn says in awe.
Once the plane takes off, it takes them 9 hours to arrive at the United Region. From the window, the group is stunned to see the wide variety of Pokemon in the skies. They also notice that the United Region is quite big, and they are usually separated by rivers or walls. They are heading to the center of the region, which is the multitype region.
"We're here at the Multitype Region, and the plane will be arriving at our castle." Ash says.
"A Castle?" Serena asks. "Are you serious about that?"
"We are serious." Mark says.
Once they land at the Multitype Region. They step out of the plane and look around the surroundings, they can see on one side, a lot of Pokemon are roaming around in the wild, and on the other side, they can see that people and Pokemon living in harmony in the cities.
"Wow, this is really big." Lana looks around the fields, Lillie says, "Yes. It sure is."
They walk a long way to the castle, once they head inside, they feel like they become royalty. Ash turns to his siblings and asks, "So I want to ask about the invitations, are they sent out?"
Insey says, "You bet, brother. We have sent all the invitations to your wedding, a majority of the people will like to come and watch your wedding."
Mallow asks, "How many people are you inviting?"
"Since it is a big event, I would invite the gym leaders and the Elite 4, champion and my rivals. But not the traitors..." Ash says the last words darkly.
"I see..." Serena says with a sigh.
And I'll stop this chapter here since I want to skip fast forward to the regions exploring. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be the plans of the wedding and the start of the exploring.
