Good and Bad Reunion
"How can they do that?" A boy drops a tear while he is sitting on the bed of his room in the Sevestar Region. The boy is Ash Ketchum, he is a trainer who just comes back from his journey in the Alola Region. After winning the Alola League, he comes back to Kanto, only to find that some of his Pokemon are being taken away by those who he called friends and rivals.
When he comes to the lab, he finds the group of nine people, Gary Oak, Misty Waterflower, Clemont, Kiawe, May Maple, Trip, Mallow, Brock, and Iris. After knowing that he becomes the new Champion of the Alola Region, their greed has blinded their eyes as they go to the lab, injured Professor Oak and Tracy, and doing whatever they want to the Pokemon, those who have fought back are either heavily wounded by their own weapons, or even being killed. Some who are not that brave are forced to be their Pokemon, and they are crying as they feel like they have failed Ash.
When Ash finds out the truth, he is now angry and that is when his aura is awakened. He manages to pick all the Pokemon that the traitors haven't gotten their hands on, such as Charizard, Snorlax, Noctowl, Heracross, Donphan, Sceptile, Glalie, Infernape, Gible, Oshawott, Leavanny, Boldore, Krookodile, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Noivern, Rowlet, Lycanroc, and Melmetal. The traitors try to get their hands on the Pokemon, but they are stopped since a woman is leading five trainers to stop them. Ash says, "You all have made a mistake, you think you can just take my Pokemon away from me without facing the consequences?"
The woman turns out to be the Kanto Champion, Aurora, as she says, "We have called the police, and they will be here to arrest all of you for abusing, robbery, and even murder."
The group of nine are terrified as they run away, the others are trying to chase after them, but Aurora stops them as calming Ash down is their priority. Right now Ash's aura is overflowed, Aurora has to take out an Azure Flute and blows the Oracion to calm him down. At the same time, the other five are teleporting Ash's Pokemon to a place where those people will never find them.
"Ash, are you fine now?" Aurora asks her son, and Ash says, "I...mother...what...how about my Pokemon?"
A girl says, "The Pokemon that you saved are now at our home."
"Minami...Golly...Insey...Trenor...Mark...you guys have come..." Ash says with a nod.
"Sorry that we are late, we could have helped you save more of your Pokemon..." Trenor says.
Ash frowns, knowing that his Pokemon might be either killed or being treated as slaves for those traitors. Aurora says, "Since this is not a good place to talk, let's go back to the Sevestar Region."
The others nod as they teleport there with their Pokemon, after that day, the police have been going all over the world to capture the murderers with Aurora's demand, but they are nowhere in sight. As for Ash, he has been working hard to heal his Pokemon day and night. And with his mother's help, they manage to summon Arceus to help them with the process of healing, as well as to control Ash's aura from overflowing because of those sad memories.
After the Pokemon are now healed, Aurora and Arceus are by Ash's side. Aurora says, "Ash, I have bad news to tell you, the police couldn't find the ones that stole your Pokemon. They probably have gone under disguises and escape the law."
"Just great..." Ash says, now unable to laugh sarcastically. "Looks like fate really likes to mess with me."
Arceus says, "Ash. I am as mad as you, but that won't be the way to solve any problem. We have also found out that some of your true friends are mad at what happened to you and they have been trying to find you."
Aurora says, "Like Max, Dawn, Cilan, Bonnie, Serena, Lana, Sophocles, Lillie, even others like Ritchie, Paul, Alain, and Gladion are worried about you as well. Though they didn't know anything about this Sevestar Region, that's why they couldn't find you."
"I see...it is a good thing that I still have some people who trust my abilities as a Champion of Alola." Ash frowns. "But they don't know about Sevestar Region, which is why they won't be finding us here..."
"So are you going to meet them?" Aurora asks, and Ash says, "Tell them to meet me at Professor Oak's Lab. I will like to talk with them."
The others nod as they head towards Professor Oak's Lab. Once they get there, they find that the others are there waiting for Ash. While waiting for Ash to arrive, the others are conversing and Max says, "I can't believe my sister will do such a thing! How dare she do that to Ash?"
Bonnie says, "Clemont as well, he is not my brother anymore."
Cilan says, "Calm down, you two. We are not sure if Ash is still alive..."
"But some of his Pokemon are killed, that is the facts..." Tracy says as he looks at the messy lab while having bandages.
Professor Oak says, "Indeed, I thought I taught Gary better...but I was wrong."
Just then, the bright light glows, and Ash comes with 6 people behind him. "Ash!" The females are worried for Ash as they rush to him, hugging him. Ash says, "It is good to see you again, though it will be great if it wasn't for being like this..."
"We heard what Misty and the others have done to you...I can't believe that they will go this far..." Lillie says.
"I know...I didn't know about it as well." Ash frowns.
"By the way, who are the others behind you?" Lana asks, and Ash says, "They are my family. Mark, Minami, Golly, Trenor, and Insey."
Minami says, "It is nice to meet all of you. Thank you for taking care of our brother during the journeys."
"Okay..." Cilan says, "I don't know that you have siblings, Ash. Why didn't you tell us when we are traveling?"
"Well, we have promised to keep a secret because of my mother." Ash says while rubbing his head.
Delia says, "Indeed. Kanto is not the region where we were from. We are from the Otem Town of the Sevestar Region."
"Otem Town? Sevestar? How come we didn't hear of this place before?" Max asks.
"It is a special region where Pokemon and humans are treated as equals. It was only a small island, but with my mother and our help. It was given the title of Region a few months ago." Ash says.
"That's why we decide to keep this project a secret. Brother is not only traveling to become a Pokemon Master, but he has been giving us info on all the journeys so that we can create an ideal region with the help of Pokemon, Legendary, Mythical, and even Ultra Beasts are included."
"That sounds amazing." Bonnie says. "Can we go there?"
"Well, it is not finished yet. But I promise that we will take you there once the region is complete." Ash says. "By the way, I heard that those criminals are still on the loose, right?"
"That's true, but there are some goods that are from this: like they have been kicked out of their positions as gym leaders or other occupations that they had."
"And Dad also disowned May for good." Max says. "So does Clemont." Bonnie adds.
"I see...but they could still sell my Pokemon for their money...that is still a problem." Ash says. "They took all 30 of my Tauros, who knows how much profit can be done with them."
"Ash...I know you are worried about your Pokemon..." Professor Oak says. "And it is my fault. I could have been more careful..."
"You have done pretty well, Professor. I don't blame you." Ash says with a sad smile.
"So Ash, what are you going to do after that?" Lillie asks, and Ash says, "First of all, I will need to find suitable trainers as the gym leaders or Elite 4 of the Sevestar Region. Because I finally become the Champion of Alola, I can now find what I think are suitable trainers."
"That sounds amazing." Dawn says. "We can help you find some trainers as well."
"That will be nice." Ash says. "And second...I think I want to find someone that is special for me."
"Special for you?" This causes them to be surprised, and Serena is having a frown. "What do you mean by that?" Bonnie asks.
Mark says, "You see...Brother has someone special in his heart ever since he comes back from the Kalos Region when he was 5 years old. To show that he doesn't forget about her love, he gave her a locket."
Ash says, "It is the same locket like this one." Ash shows the locket in his neck. "It is a treasure from my family."
"So can you tell us about the girl?" Serena asks, and Ash notices jealousy and heartbreak in her tone. Ash says, "She is, in my eyes, an angel from heaven. When I meet her, she was lost in the woods with the cold and unforgiving blizzard. But her spirit of never giving up has been deeply carved into my heart. Even though we were together for a week, I couldn't believe that we have to separate. We loved each other so much that we couldn't bear leaving, and that is why I gave her the locket. I want her to remember me and we could continue to be like that again."
The others are in awe at the story, and Bonnie asks, "Is this why you have been acting dense around the girls when we are traveling? Because you already loved her?"
Ash nods and says, "I thought that if I act like I didn't know what is love...maybe some people will give up...I don't want to break anyone's heart after telling the truth. I just don't want to see anyone crying because I rejected their love."
Lillie says, "Wow Ash...that is thoughtful..."
"So have you met her again? You said that she was from Kalos, right?" Serena asks, now knowing why Ash isn't responding towards her love for him.
"I didn't meet her, but I met her parents, though." Ash says, causing them to be surprised. Bonnie says, "Her parents? You have met them and you didn't tell us?"
Ash says, "I didn't say anything because according to her mother, she has forgotten about my name and how I looked like, but she still remembers our promise and she has been waiting for me."
"I see...can you tell us the name of the person that captured your heart?" Cilan asks.
"Well...I..." Deep down, Ash knows the name of the girl, but he decides to act that he forgets her name. "I forgot..."
"Same old Ash..." Dawn says, "Why am I not surprised."
"Trust me, we have been trying to ask the same thing, but we didn't get an answer." Golly sighs.
"Since you come all the way to Kanto, how about having dinner at our house?" Delia asks, "We can talk about some more."
The others nod as they go with Delia, or Aurora, to their house.
This story is actually an alternative prologue of the RPA High Darker Version. Why did I make it an alternative? That is because Ash's siblings will know what Ash is doing in this story, unlike in the RPA Darker Version. And Ash will meet Alice before they even go to the High School.
