Chapter 2 Famiy Reunion
Located in the middle of Hoenn and Alola, there is an island that is as big as a region could be. Ash and his siblings are amazed at how the island looks very ideal. Ash then turns to his mother, who is in her Aurora form. "Mom, so is it true that there is a law in PLA that if anyone challenges all 7 leagues and didn't win any of them, they will have to have their trainer license revoked. So no one has dared to travel all 7 regions and challenge each league?"
Aurora frowns, "Well...at first it is six leagues, but since Alola has his first league, so that changes into seven. As a PLA member myself, I knew this law after all."
Ash is in fury as he wants to punch Goodshow if he has the chance. The siblings are also angry with Ash and Mark says, "What kind of rule is that? Since you are the Kanto Champion, mom, can't you just revoke the law?"
Insey says, "Yeah, mom. Ash has saved the world so many times, surely that it will be no problem, right?"
Aurora says, "This is the hard part. Even we champions don't agree with the law, but Charles Goodshow prefers money over everything. He is the President and he doesn't want to revoke it."
"That old man... I know he is wearing a facade." Minami says with anger.
Delia also arrives at the island, Aurora absorbs the fake body back and sends out every Pokemon Ash owns. Ash says, "Mom, thank you for bringing my Pokemon."
Aurora says, "No problem, I also told Professor Oak about your fake death, he is in the same boat as us, and he also wants me to give you this device."
Ash is confused as he takes the box, he asks, "What is this?"
"This is a portable PC box, with this, you can carry all your Pokemon at once without the PC limit." Aurora says.
"That sounds great, thanks, Mom." Ash says.
Mark, Insey, Minami, and Trenor also send out their Pokemon, they have all the Pokemon that are Fighting, Bug, Fairy, and Ground respectively, but they don't have the Legendary Pokemon or the Mythical Pokemon. Aurora says, "These Pokemon are enough to create a new Region."
This causes the five children to be surprised. Trenor asks, "Wait, we are going to make a new region?"
Aurora says, "Yes. Since we are Arceus, we can create new Pokemon, humans, and even a region that is a paradise. We, I mean all of us and the Pokemon here, and the help from Galar Region which locates a little far away from here, it shouldn't be a problem."
"The Galar Region? What is that?" Ash asks.
"Galar Region is the secret eighth region located near the Kalos Region. Unlike the other regions, there are no Elite 4 there. The league is also sponsored by the Macro Cosmos Company instead of PLA, and they have a secret technique known as the Dynamax. You will learn about that soon. Right now, we should start working on the project."
"But I still think that only us is not enough..." Ash mutters.
Aurora knows what Ash is thinking, and she says, "By the way, I have a surprise for all of you."
She blows the Azure Flute and a portal appears, much to their surprise, 7 people come out of the portal. They recognize the man in front of them and they are surprised.
"Dad!" They all hug their father who is in front of them, and their father smiles as he hugs them. "Everyone, it sure has been a while."
After sharing a hug, Ash asks, "But Dad, how are you still alive? I thought you were killed..."
Aurora says, "Adam is just like you, Ash, since there is one time his license is revoked by Mr. Goodshow, but after faking his death, he has been hiding in this island and the Galar Region. Along with your sister, Golly."
The siblings also notice Golly in present, as they also hug her, Golly is also their sister, which is older than Insey and Trenor but younger than the other three. She was killed due to protecting a Dusknoir from a Poacher, since they were Arceus, they can't be killed that easily.
"But Mom, Dad, who are they?" Ash turns to the other five people in front of them.
Adam says, "They are our adopted children. Everyone, meet Namie, Bea, Allister, Shelia, and Terra. I found them in bad situations, so Aurora and I decided to adopt them. And right now they were also Gym Leaders of the Galar Region."
Namie says, "You must be Ash, Insey, Minami, Mark, and Trenor that Golly told us, right? Finally, we get to meet you guys."
Mark says, "Wait, you were at the Galar Region all this time?"
Golly says, "Yeah, Grandaunt Opal and Dad are the ones who were taking care of me as well as our adopted siblings."
"I see." Ash says, then he notices Allister. "But why are you wearing a mask?"
Golly says, "Don't worry, he is just shy. That's all."
"I see." Minami says. After they are acquainted, they also send out their Pokemon to play. At the same time, they show the other siblings about the process of Dynamax. This causes them to be surprised and in awe at how Pokemon can be giants and how they battle differently. Especially Gigantamax Pokemon that have their unique moves.
Once the Pokemon are playing, Aurora gathers all 11 children and says, "Now let's create this region, shall we?"
Everyone nods in agreement, and then they start the project.
A month after the creation of Sevestar, Ash feels something in his heart that is missing. So he decides to talk to his mother about it. Aurora says, "If that's the problem...I want to ask you, Ash. Do you know what love is?"
Ash says, "If you mean the romantic love, I know. But what does it relate to the question I am asking you?"
Aurora smiles, "It's obvious. The something in your heart that is missing is love, I want to know if you have any romantic feelings for anyone?"
Ash frowns a little and he says, "I don't know...I may have some feelings for my former travel companions, but ever since that happened, and how they sided with Mr. Goodshow...I don't think I can fall in love with them..."
Aurora says, "And what about your childhood friend? I mean that one..."
Ash realizes that his mother is talking about a white-haired angel that he has a crush on when he was little, she has been with Ash ever since he was five, and they are very close until the age of 9, where she has to leave with her family to Kalos.
"You mean Alice...but we haven't met for years, and she probably thought that I was dead..." Ash frowns.
"She doesn't know about your fake death. In fact, their family doesn't know." Aurora says. "How about I bring you there so you can reunite with her?"
Now Ash starts to blush, something that Aurora has been waiting to see for years. Then they decide to leave everything to the others as they head to Kalos. While they are heading there, Ash has been thinking about the time when he meets Alice.
(Flashback)
Ash is wandering in the Viridian Forest, because it is winter, the weather is really cold.
"Stupid Gary...why is he sending me in the snow..."
Just then, he hears a singing voice, and he is attracted to it, so he decides to check out who is singing, only to find a white-haired girl the same age as him.
"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried."
Ash recognizes the song from a famous movie, and he sees that she starts to walk around in the snow.
"Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know"
The girl takes off her gloves and throws them into the air, then she starts to mimic the scene in the movie.
"Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway"
She starts dancing and jumping around the forest. "It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on."
Just then, her hands are glowing as she starts to create an ice castle out of thin air, she didn't realize the fact as she thinks that she is in the dream.
"My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bother me anyway."
After singing, she gets back to the scene and she not only wears a different kind of clothing, she also finds that she is inside a castle.
"What? How?" The girl is shocked as she looks at her hands, and then the castle is also gone, her clothes also return to normal with the gloves on her feet. "How did I do that?"
Ash decides to approach the girl and he says, "What you did is so amazing! The new outfit and the castle are so real..."
The girl is a little shaken at the boy in front of her, she asks, "Who are you?"
"I am sorry. I am Ash, Ash Ketchum. I don't mean to harm you." Ash says as he takes out a warm package. "Here, take this."
The girl is surprised that the boy is offering her something to warm up, she says, "I'm Alice...I came from Kalos and my family decided to stay here for months or years. But because I want to see more Pokemon, I kinda get lost and separated from my family."
"I see, don't worry, I live near here in Pallet Town, I can help you get out." Ash says as he stretches out his hand, Alice looks at the hand with a little blush and she holds it.
"But how are we going to get out here? The snow is getting stronger and we'll have a hard time seeing..." Alice asks with a worried tone.
"I don't know, but that isn't going to stop me. If I want to achieve something, don't give up until it is over." Ash smiles as he takes out the locket and ties it around Alice's neck. "Here, it is a lucky charm, and it looks good on you."
Alice looks at the locket, it is very beautiful in her eyes, and she notices that Ash has one around his neck as well. "Now that we are blessed by the lucky goddess, we can find our way out."
"Um." Alice says with a small smile as they finally reach out of the forest. And since then they have been friends until it is time for her family to leave Kanto.
(Flashback Ends)
"Ash? Are you okay?" Aurora asks in a worry as Ash is spacing off. Ash gets back to his senses and says, "I'm fine, Mom. I was just thinking a lot."
"Well, I was just about to tell you that we are about to arrive at Snowbelle City in Kalos." Aurora says, "It should be soon you're going to meet them again."
Ash nods, he can't wait to see someone who he wants to see again.
Here is a new chapter, and in this chapter, Ash reveals his past with Alice and their first meeting. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be the reunion of Alice's family.
