Prologue 9
Ash and the group are now at the third section, which is the Kalos Section. They go greet Professor Sycamore, and he also greets them.
"Hello everyone. My name is Professor Sycamore, I will be teaching you Kalos today." He takes out 3 Pokeballs and appears a Chespin, a Fennekin, and a Froakie.
"These will be the starters of Kalos, due to what is going on this afternoon, I have to go through the next part already."
The others are confused as Professor Sycamore takes out the Kalos map and gives them 20 badges, wanting them to put the badges on it.
"This looks like an Electric-type badge… where was it?" Lillie asks.
"Lumiose City, the biggest city in Kalos, is also a romantic city for lovers." Ash says.
"Yeah, thanks to this city, Kalos is the No.1 of the romantic regions." Mark says.
Lillie says, "It sounds like a fun place."
Gladion takes the pink badge and asks, "What is this one?"
"Oh, the Fairy Badge, it is in Laverie City. Its gym leader is also a famous clothes designer, she also had a powerful Sylveon." Eevee perks her ears when hearing this. "And the gym leader is also our aunt with three of the children are here with us."
"Seriously?" Serena is surprised. "Valerie is your aunt?"
"She is blood-related to my mom." Mark says.
Eevee jumps up and down in front of Ash, Ash holds her in his hands, "You want to be a Sylveon, girl?" Eevee nods and nuzzles at Ash.
"Hey, it tickles." Ash laughs, making Pikachu a little jealous.
"So how do we evolve Eevee into Sylveon?" Lillie asks.
"Well, I heard that learning Fairy moves and high affection towards its trainer could help." Serena says. Eevee immediately gives her Baby-Doll eyes.
"Um… that is a Fairy move, so now I have to work with affection." Ash says.
"By the way, mega evolution is indeed originated from Kalos?" Gladion asks.
"Yes. There is evidence, like the Tower of Mastery, it is a place where everyone can learn Mega evolution, my grandfather is also there. Shalour City is where we can get the Rumble Badge." Mark says.
"Not only that, but there is also a sundial with the same energy in Anistar City, the badge is Psychic Badge." Serena says.
After putting all 20 badges on the map, they give Professor Sycamore a look, they get 10 points. They also quickly talk about the Kalos Pokemon, which makes the group even more confused than ever. Before lunch, they play a game called Hoopa ring throw, they have to throw the rings to the cans and earn points, they got 8 points. The last one they do is finding hidden Zygarde cells, Professor Sycamore spreads 10 fake green Zygarde cells in the forest, they find them all in a record of time, which makes them get 10 points.
"Hey Ash." Professor Sycamore calls him.
"Yes, Professor?" Ash asks in confusion.
"I noticed that you have a Key Stone on your wrist."
Ash looks at his Mega Ring and smiles, "Yeah, I got it recently from my grandfather, he lives in Kalos."
"I see, if you have any Megas you want to know, you can also ask me." Professor Sycamore says.
"Thanks, Professor." Ash nods.
After lunch, they see that Diantha is already there. Ash asks, "Aunt Diantha, so why are we rushing the whole event?"
As the others are talking to Diantha causally, the one who is shocked is Serena. She asks, "Wait, how come you are talking to the Kalos Champion so causally?"
Mark says, "Diantha is also our aunt, she is my mother's younger sister."
"So you must be Serena. It is nice to meet you." Diantha says.
"I am your fan! You are a famous actress, almost everyone in our town knows you." Serena says.
"Okay, enough praising, at first I wanted to teach you some Contest moves, but I have a favor to ask you. If you do it pretty well, you can get 60 points in the end." Diantha says.
"What we will do is to film a movie named 'The Dragon Slayer'." Professor Sycamore says.
Ash and the others are shocked. Serena asks, "You mean… We will film a movie with you?"
Diantha says, "Yes. But I won't be the main character. We will be as side characters, but you five will be the main ones."
"What?!" They are shocked as they can't believe what they are hearing.
Sycamore says, "Yes, the prince, the princess, the witch, the sword maker, and a king. The film will also be sent to Pokestar Studios. You can be a star there."
"Okay, let's get started, shall we?" Diantha asks as she takes out five scripts and gives them to the five.
Ash exclaims, "I am role playing the prince? That's cool."
Lillie says, "I got the princess, does that mean..." Lillie starts to blush as she is thinking about being Ash's princess.
Serena says, "Wow, I am playing the villain, that is interesting."
Gladion asks, "So where are we filming?"
Diantha asks, "Good question, we bought some Pokemon and equipment from Pokestar Studios, follow me."
They follow Professor Sycamore and Diantha to the filming place, they are shocked by the field and the workers there.
"Hello, Diantha." A man comes to them. "Everyone, this is Mr. Wood, he is the director from Pokestar Studios."
Everyone greets him, Mr. Wood says, "Okay, kids, this is your first time filming a movie, so this afternoon we will be starting our first part."
They nod and start preparing. Once they arrive at the open field, Serena says, "I still can't believe that we are actually filming a movie."
Mark says, " Yeah, we can't screw this up. we don't have parts in the first scene, so it is Ash and Lillie."
"Yeah." Serena shrugs.
They have tried to memorize their lines and even try out a lot of costumes and items needed for the movie, they are really amazed at how the actors and actresses are filming. Mr. Wood also lets Eevee play with Ash as his teammate, to which she agrees.
And after 2 days, they are going for the final part. Mr. Wood yells, "3, 2, 1. Action!"
"I already slaughtered all of your dragons, now give back the princess!" Ash says as he walks towards Serena.
"Why should I? I am not losing yet! I still have another wild card!" Serena yells. The witch started to cast a spell, she turned into a Mega Salamence.
"No way!" Ash steps back in one foot.
"Hahaha! Do you think you can defeat me? You are foolish." She blasts a flamethrower, the prince uses the shield to protect him.
"Eevee! Use Swift!" Ash commands, and Eevee does it, but it doesn't really damage her.
"That is your full power? It tickles." Serena says with a laugh.
Ash says, "Damn it, she is different from the dragons before."
"I'll show you my true power!" Salamence uses Dragon Rage, it hits Eevee, causing her to fall.
"Eevee! Stay strong!" Salamence starts to use Dragon Rush, Ash quickly jumps in front of Eevee and uses his sword to block the attack, but due to the attack being overpowered, his sword flies and lands few centimeters away.
"Even the most powerful sword of yours, Dragon Slayer can't do anything. Now fall to your demise!"
"Prince Ash!" Princess yells when the Dragon Rage strikes again. Ash doesn't run, he just watches helplessly when the blue fire comes. Just then, Eevee comes in and starts to evolve.
"Is this?" Director Wood says in surprise as well as Gladion and Mark, "Yes, it is evolving. But we originally planned to have a Sylveon to get inside the screen...Looks like we don't need to."
Sylveon endures the attack, Ash says, "Sylveon! You evolved!"
Then she nods and fires a Moonblast, causing the dragon to step back. "What? How did you manage to…"
Then Ash says, "Sylveon, you keep attack the dragon, I will get my sword back!"
She nods and keeps attacking, the dragon is starting to lose.
"There is no way I will lose! I am supposed to win!" She starts to do an Outrage, Ash quickly says, "I won't give up until it is over!" He slashes through the dragon.
"Cut!" The director says, "That will be it for today. Thank you for this act."
Ash sits down and pants. Sylveon uses her ribbons to wrap around Ash.
"You really did evolve. I am proud of you." Ash hugs the Pokemon.
Professor Sycamore says, "Indeed, although we originally wanted to put a Sylveon, this is really a surprise."
Diantha says, "Ash, you and your Sylveon really are special." Ash blushes at this.
Before the day is over, Diantha teaches them the contest moves that she learned from Aurora, and she also notices that Ash has the potential to become the top Coordinator just like her sister.
"Well, you guys did a good job, the film is ready." Mr. Wood says after several hours of editing. Everyone went to watch it, they are proud of themselves.
"How is it, Diantha?" Professor Sycamore asks.
"For beginners, this is a spectacular movie. I think they should get 60 points." Diantha says and Sycamore nods.
After watching, Mr. Wood says, "When the blue-ray is ready, I will send one each to your home. Thank you for acting this film."
"No problem." The children are really happy about this.
Back at home, Aurora asks, "Hey Ash, Mark, how was Diantha's class?"
"Better than ever. Mark, we should tell them now." Ash says, and Mark agrees. They explain what they did, and all of the family members are shocked.
"You are lucky! Filming a movie with Aunt Diantha and the Pokestar Studios is a lot of people's dream!" Emma says.
"Yeah. I am envious." Eve says.
"Well, maybe we can see the glorious movie you two are in someday." Aurora laughs.
"I agree. We have born two little stars." Adam laughs. Everyone laughs at the statement.
Then Ash and his group go to the Hoenn section in the lab, but they don't see Professor Birch there, much to their confusion.
"Where is he?" Gladion asks.
"I don't know." Ash looks around the place. Then they hear someone yells, "Somebody! Help me!"
They quickly run towards the sound and see a Professor being chased by 3 Mightyenas. "Hey, you five! There are 3 Pokemon in my bag! Use them to help me!"
Ash quickly takes out Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip from his bag, they defeat the 3 Mightyenas. "Thank you for helping me, that is 10 points for you." He recalls 3 Pokemon. "Huh? Those are your Pokemon, Professor?"
"Yes. My name is Professor Birch from Hoenn Region. I heard from the other Professors that you got a high score in their section. I am looking forward to helping you."
After the introduction, Professor Birch asks them to take care of the 3 starters before the section end.
"Hoenn has more water than land, compare to others except for Alola. And now we have a challenge for you four." He takes out the giant map and the 20 badges.
"Most of our activities are the same, can you put the badges in the right spot?" Professor Birch asks, and they nod.
They look at the map, Lillie says, "There is so much water in this region."
Serena says, "Yes. But I kind of like it. It looks like a perfect place for vacations."
Ash says, "I will go first, this is the Stone Badge, it is in the city where the Devon Corp. is, Rustboro City."
"Devon Corp. ?" Serena asks.
"Most of our technology is made there, the champion we will meet is also the son of the president." Lillie says.
"Yeah, one of the campers here, Luke, is actually his son." Gladion says.
"You sure have a lot of friends." Serena says.
Ash then takes out the Rain Badge. "Serena, do you know which one this is?"
"It looks like Rain, so is it this one?" She points at the city covered in rocks.
"Yes, Stootoplis. The gym leader there is Uncle Wallace." Mark says.
"The Top Coordinator Wallace is your uncle? I thought he is a top coordinator since he has the Wallace Cup all over the world." Serena gasps.
"He is not related to our family, but he and our mother are friends." Ash says. "His daughter Reisa and his son East are also here in the summer camp."
"I guess this looks like a feather, where is it?" Lillie asks as she picks up the badge.
"Oh, put it right here." Ash says as he points at the forest.
"But that is a forest." Serena says.
"Well, Fortree City is located in a forest, it is one of the places who used tree houses." Mark says. "And the gym leader is Steven's wife, Winona."
After putting the rest of the badge, Mark picks the final one. "Now that leaves only one. The Dynamic Badge. It is right here."
"But that is a building?" Gladion asks.
Ash says, "Oh, Mauville City is kind of like Elmashosa Town in Sevestar, the building is actually the city."
Gladion shrugs, "Well, that makes sense."
Professor Birch sees the picture, he says, "All are correct, you guys are great. That is a 10 score for you."
"Thanks Professor." The children nod.
In the afternoon, Professor Birch prepares a machine with 3 Pokemon on it. He says, "Okay, you know the legendary Pokemon, the weather trio, right?"
"That will be Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza, Kyogre and Groudon can Primal Reverse while Rayquaza can Mega Evolve." Lillie says.
"Yes, this machine was made to analyze the power of the weather trio. They could cause some serious weather problems when fighting each other. Your challenge will be filling these four tubes with the same amount of water." Professor Birch says as he shows the tubes, with one of them empty and another one over the cross line.
"If you press the Kyogre button, it can pour the water, Groudon is the heat, and Rayquaza will be the stop mode. Now let's begin."
The five of them work together to do the challenge, due to being heavy, they are eventually worn out.
"That is 5 minutes and 10 seconds. You beat the last group's record, but you didn't get within 5 minutes, so 9 points for you." Although they aren't happy, they think that it was enough.
Then, they are racing around the forest with 2 machines that look like Latios and Latias. Ash, Gladion, and Lillie go first with Latias, they get 4:37. Serena and Mark use Latios, they are a little slower since they head the wrong way, but they still get 4:57. So Professor Birch gives them 9 points.
They arrive at the Hoenn section, and Professor Birch is talking to a person that Ash and Mark know very well.
"Uncle Steven!" Ash and Mark greet the Champion.
"Hello Ash, Mark, Lillie, and Gladion. It just like yesterday when I see you guys are inseparable children." Steven says.
After Serena introduces herself, she whispers to Lillie, "Wow, he is handsome."
"Yeah. And smart as well." Lillie says.
Steven says, "Okay, now the greetings are done, please follow me."
He takes them to an area where there is a lake, a maze a cave, and a garden.
"Wow, I don't know there is a place like this." Ash says.
"This is an artificial place, as you can see. I am a stone collector, I love to find stones, mega stones particularly. I hid 18 marbles that looked like mega stones here, you have 3 days to find them all. Not only that, you have to guess which one is it."
"Sure."
Ash and the group go to the garden first, they are amazed by the beauty and the colors. They found a Sceptilite, a Venusaurite, a Herracrossite, an Altariasite and a Beedrillite.
"Wow, these are really tricky." Lillie says. "Just think about it, they are very well hidden. I can see why he had to prepare for a day."
The next day, they all bring their swimsuits and went diving underwater, they find a Sharpedoite, a Slowbronite, a Gyaradosite, a Blastoisite, and a Swampertite. Ash, Mark, and Gladion also have a swimming race after finding them.
For the next place, they head inside the cave, they find a Gengarite, a Steelixite, a Tyranitarite, and a Banettite.
"It is a good thing I have the flashlight." Ash says.
"But still, it really is dark inside." Lillie says.
"How about we play the shadow game?" Serena asks.
"You are on." Ash replies. They start to make shadows with their hands, Gladion wins the most points.
Ash says with a tired tone, "Man, you are good at this."
Gladion is feeling the same way as he says, "You are not bad, either."
And finally, they go into the maze and found Pidgeotite, a Lucarionite, a Charizardite Y, and an Abomasnowite.
"So you found 18 of them, you did a great job." Steven compliments.
Professor Birch says, "Your score in this Hoenn is 96. Well done. Not only you did well on Steven's test, you also enjoyed yourselves." Ash and his friends thank him and cheered happily.
Before leaving, Lillie asks, "Ash, do you think we can win the camp?"
"Win or lose, it doesn't matter, what matters is we had fun." Ash says.
"You are right, we should have more fun next day." Lillie nods.
Wow, I finished this chapter. I let the heroes act in the film, and Eevee evolves into Sylveon just like before. I hope you like this chapter.
