Prologue 14
After Lillie wakes up, she also knows what happened to Team Rocket and Team Plasma, but after hearing Ash's determination of bringing them back to the Darker Dimension, she wants to join in as well, much to Ash's delight.
Aurora is touched by Ash and Lillie's determination, so she decides to give the two much harsher training in the International Police. Ash and Lillie also live in their Kanto's Vacation for the time being, because they are going to start their journey there.
The first place they go is Saffron City. Since their Uncle Giovanni's gym has been taken by the evil version of Giovanni, Sabrina is so angry that she closes herself and changes her children and Giovanni into dolls for safety. And she also has a creepy doll in front of them that has been split from her mind, so Sabrina's father decides to call Aurora for help.
Aurora brings Ash to the gym, as they meet Sabrina's father, who is very happy to see them. "Aurora, you got my call." He says.
"I heard your news...how did it turn out to be like this?" Aurora asks with horror on her face.
"Well...because of Team Rocket...knowing how her husband has an evil version in the world...she is blinded by rage..."
"I will save aunt Sabrina and the others." Ash says in determination. Sabrina's father says, "Ash, I know you want to help, but you are just a kid..."
"I don't care if I am a kid or not, my aunt is in trouble and I want to save her." Ash says.
Aurora says, "Maybe we should give him a chance, he might be able to save Sabrina."
Sabrina's father can only sigh as he takes them to Sabrina. The doll on her lap says to Ash, "You are not a human."
"I am not. I know that you are controlling Aunt Sabrina. I will save her no matter what." Ash says.
"Try if you can." Sabrina takes out Kadabra, Ash changes into Arceus and battles her. Thanks to his Dread Plate, the Psychic moves do not affect him. Ash uses Aerial Ace on Kadabra, but he trips and falls onto the ground, then Sabrina suddenly laughs. Ash notices that when Sabrina is laughing, her darkness will fade away, so instead of battling, he becomes a circus clown and makes some silly faces and acts, the more she laughs, the more she was happy, then the doll controlling her is also gone.
"Ash really did it..." Sabrina's father is shocked.
"Yeah..." Aurora says with a smile. "That is my son after all."
Then after freeing Giovanni, their children Ariel and Surch, they thank Ash for helping their mother, as they are worried about her when they were being dolls.
Ash asks, "Uncle Giovanni. Is it true that your gym is taken by your Dark Dimension counterpart?"
Giovanni frowns, "I think so... and he has created an evil team called Team Rocket..."
"Then we will stop them, just like what we did to Team Terror." Ash vows to him.
Then both Silver and Ariel also agree to save their father from their mess and Giovanni is so touched as he thanks them.
Ash not only has an uncle named Giovanni and an aunt named Diantha, but he also has another uncle and another aunt. One of his aunts is the queen of Rota: Queen Ilene. Aurora was asked to be the queen, but after married Adam in Sevestar, she leaves the kingdom to Ilene.
"Aurora..." Queen Ilene greets her elder sister and says, "You have come."
"Hello, Ilene. You have become a nice queen, haven't you?" Aurora asks with a smile and Queen Ilene also smiles back at her.
"Of course." Ilene says. "Ash and Lillie, it is a long time we've seen each other."
"Your highness..." The 2 of them bow at the queen, even though they are related, it is manners to bow to the one who has a higher status.
"No need to be so formal." Ilene says. "We are a family, just be like the time before Aurora gives me the title."
Lillie asks, "So where are Ridley and Korrina? Are they here as well?"
Ilene says, "Ridley is still in Sinnoh helping Cynthia, while Korrina is with father in Kalos."
"I see." Ash nods as they decide to go to the playroom. As Lillie is a Mew, she has another one of herself in this place as its original form, Mew. Mew likes to play with them and also visits the Tree of Beginning, which is also a place only Ash and Lillie can enter because of blood cells.
In Johto, they would go to Ecruteak City since one of Lillie's uncles, Morty, is living there, Morty's wife is Jasmine, the Olivine Gym Leader, and they have two children, Irena and Shadow. Besides visiting them, they have a house situated in Alto Mare, a place that is filled with water. Palmo brings Ash, Lillie, Reisa, and East there with Aurora's permission.
"Is that a race?" Ash sees the water race poster on the wall.
"Yes, it looks like this year's water race is starting. Do you want to try it?" Palmo asks.
"I would like to."Reisa says. "Me too." Ash nods. East says, "I'll just watch the race."
Lillie says, "And no for me as well. Sylveon, do you want to watch with me?" Sylveon nods at Lillie's request.
They go to the race court with 8 participants racing, after they start, Ash, Reisa, and the other participant take the lead. But unluckily, Ash falls in the water. He quickly gets up, but he gets the last place, it is not until a strange force pulling the string line that makes Ash moves faster to the same place as Reisa.
"How do you get so fast?" Reisa says in shock at the speed Ash is going.
"I don't know." Ash says. "But I guess I am going to win the race."
But unfortunately, Ash goes the wrong way, letting Reisa get the trophy in the end.
After the race, Palmo asks, "Ash, what happened at the race? I mean, not even Totodile will get out of the race track..."
"I don't know. It is like someone is pulling, but not the Totodile." Ash says, and it causes them to be confused.
"Strange." Lillie says. "But don't worry, Ash. You'll win the race next time."
"I hope so." Ash says. And then they go to the museum, they see a girl who is looking at them carefully.
Ash and the others immediately chase her, they head into a garden.
"What is this place?" Ash asks.
"It might be the secret garden where Latias and Latios lived." East says.
Then a Latios and a girl who look like the former one come and they are not happy for intruders. The girl demands, "Who are you? Why are you here in the place?"
Ash says, "We didn't mean any harm, we just followed this girl here."
Then an elderly man comes and says, "Wait, Bianca." He turns to Ash and asks, "Is it true?"
Ash nods. The man bows and says, "I am sorry, my name is Lozeno. It seems like Latias wanted to play with you."
Lillie asks, "Latias?" Then the girl that looks like Bianca turns into Latias.
"Oh, so you also have a human disguise, too?" Ash asks as Latias nuzzles him affectionally, Lillie suddenly feels uneasy as she starts to feel angry all of a sudden.
Reisa notices the face Lillie is making and she teases, "Looks like somebody is jealous."
Lillie pouts, "It is not like that."
Bianca says, "I am sorry for my behavior. I am Bianca. But you said also had a human disguise, what do you mean?"
East says, "Except Reisa and I, everyone here is also Pokemon."
"Wait, you three are Pokemon?" Bianca asks in surprise as she looks at the others.
Ash says, "That is right. Though we like to disguise ourselves as humans so nobody will find out."
Latios suddenly flies around Ash, then he gasps as he quickly says in a panic, "Oh my gosh, Father. Forgive me for not noticing you at first hand."
Ash notices the panic tone and he says, "No need to panic, I won't blame you."
Latias then lets Ash play the swing with her, while Latios is talking to Palmo, who reveals to him that he is Palkia. Not long after, Lillie, East, and Reisa also join the fun.
They play together until Palmo says they need to go back home. This makes Latias a little sad, but Latios comforts her and tells them to come back sooner, to which they agree.
In Hoenn, the place Ash often goes to is Sootopolis City because they sometimes take lessons of contests from their master Juan. After the event in Alto Mare, Adam decides to let Ash blow the Eon Flute, so he can use it to summon Latias and soars through the sky. Ash and Adam find a Mirage Island and they set it as a vacation house in the Hoenn Region and it is also where Ash decides to place all his Pokemon after growing up.
"Dad, are you sure that this island won't be found? I mean...we are basically on Route 124, and people might surf here if they want to go to the Mossdeep City..." Ash asks.
Adam says, "Don't worry about it, son. Mirage Island can move around Hoenn, not even others can access it. It is a good thing that we were lucky to find one here."
"You are right. But what if others find out about this island? What should we do?" Ash asks once more, and Adam chuckles at how paranoid Ash is.
"Maybe I will ask Palmo to set a barrier since he rules space." Adam says, and it causes Ash to sigh in relief.
Adam calls out Gina from the water, she quickly takes Palmo here. After talking about the island's safety problem, he sets up a barrier using his powers. "Now it is finished." Palmo wipes a sweat on his forehead.
Adam said, "Thank you for your help. Now we can be safe here."
"No problem, Dad." Palmo says. "After all, little Ash here needs some space as well."
"Hey! I am not little!" Ash yells at his brother as he laughs. Palmo says, "Compared to us you are little, Ash. You have to admit it somehow."
Ash just pouts as they all leave the island before Aurora gets worried about them being missing.
In the Sinnoh region, they have a vacation house on Mt. Cornet since it is the place near the Hall of Origins. There is a house which is located halfway up the mountain, and it is where Tobias and Cynthia are living along with their children.
When they go there, they also greet Aria, Verity, and Emily. The three of them also likes to play with the family and they all have dreams in Contests or Showcases, as they like to perform.
"By the way, where is Alain?" Ash asks Aria, since every time they come to visit, they didn't get to see him in person.
"Mom wants him to learn about Mega Evolution, so he goes to Kalos to be Professor Sycamore's assistant." Aria replies.
"No way...we missed him again." Lillie frowns.
"By the way." Verity asks, "Ash, which starter do you want to get when you are going on a journey?"
"I don't know. But I really like Charmander, Treecko, and Froakie if you ask me." Ash replies.
"But you will be starting in Kanto, which means that Charmander is the most likely Starter to get." Emily says.
"True, but I can choose to get another one when I arrive in the new region." Ash says as they nod. "After all, it is rules to give newcomers the Starter Pokemon unless you have a Pokemon that is native to that specific region."
"That's true." Lillie says, and then they go playing with Tobias' Darkrai that week until they go back home.
Here is a new chapter, I decided to reveal some of the uncles and cousins that Ash and Lillie have in these two chapters. I hope you like it.
