Chapter 9: Delta Scyther

After Ash and his travel companions leave the Suntouched City to the Suntouched Exitway, N also heads back to the Timeless hideout located in the base of the Crystal Caves of the Amphitrite City. There, Red is the one that is waiting for him as N nods at him.

"So N, how is my counterpart of this world? We got the call that you found him in the Suntouched City."

"He is doing a good job defeating my student and successor Orion and gets the first badge." N says with a smile. "But then, Taen and Kyurem appears there and he is coming for Reshiram."

"Taen? As in the traitor Taen? What is he doing there?" Red raises his eyebrow.

"Ever since he betrayed us and joined the Perfection Cult, he has been finding me and Damon for the two dragons."

"I see. But you and Damon are going to retire and the dragons are going to be Orion and Carlita's." Red says, "Then again, if he doesn't know about it, then it won't be a problem."

"I suppose." N sighs. "Just why Taen would betray us? He was Delia's student and why is he doing this?"

Red says, "We have no idea, but I have a feeling that all of the questions we be answered very soon. If my other self, Ash Ketchum, is destined to defeat all the cults, then it may be a chance that they will face off against each other."

"And what should we do when it all happened?" N asks, but Red says, "I don't know. N, right now you should take a rest, and you can tell the others about Ash's situation."

"Thanks, Red." After N leaves the room, Red quickly takes out a phone and then calls a person. "Hello there, you have done a great job."

"Why thank you, Red. But are you sure it is wise to do that?" The person on the other side of the phone asks.

"First of all, your father is the leader and it will be better that you stay with your family for a while. Second, the Elite 4 of this region are also cultists and you are the only one we can turn to to gather information about them." Red says with a smile. "Now please continue to spy for us. Taen..."

"My pleasure." The other side of the phone, Taen smiles. Then after he takes out the phone. He turns to Kyruem. "My friend, we have more job to do." Kyreum just nods in agreement.


As N returns to the training room, he sees Dawn, Serena and Bonnie are training with Professor Kukui and Burnet. All of them are using their respective Legendary Pokemon and N just looks at them with a smile.

"N, you are back?" Kukui asks as they stop the training. "How is Orion doing?"

"He is doing a great job, and it will be no doubt that he will be a great successor." N says. "By the way, I have some news to tell you."

"What is it?" Bonnie asks in confusion.

"I found Ash, and he was at the Suntouched City having his first gym badge." N says, much to the surprise of the group in the room.

The people in the room are delighted to hear about him and Dawn asks, "How is he? Is he fine?"

N says, "Well, he still has his passion for battling when he is battling for his first gym. But when I ask him about the betrayal...all I can feel is anger, and sadness."

Bonnie frowns and says, "Is there anything we can help him?"

N says, "I am not sure about that, but all I know is that his current travel companions are helping him." N says with a frown.

"Who are his current travel companions?" Serena asks, wanting to know if her first crush is fine.

"There is his sister, Nora, she was chosen by Celebi." N says. "Ash has a sister? I don't think he has mentioned it to us." Bonnie asks.

"Apparently, because of Adam being an Augur, Delia has to separate Ash and Nora in an early age. But now they are reunited, and she has been helping him out." N says. "And there is also Emily, she was chosen by Marshadow."

"So there are two Chosens in the group?" Kukui asks.

"Actually, there are two more. And you know them really well, Kukui. They are Lillie and Gladion."

"What? You mean those two are also chosen?" Burnet asks in shock. "This is very surprising considering who those two are."

"You know them?" Dawn asks. "And who are they?"

"Well, Lillie and Gladion are siblings, they are from the Aether family, which is known for the Aether Foundation. Gladion is the one who defeated Ash in the Alola League, he has an artificial Arceus like Pokemon known as Silvally. And for Lillie, she was my student as well as my assistant, at first, she is afraid of touching Pokemon. But it is after Ash comes to Alola that he manages to help her conquering her fear." Kukui says.

"Wait a second, if the betrayal happened, did you see those two there?" Burnet asks, and the three of them shake their heads. "So they are the ones that didn't show up in Pallet Town..." This causes them to be relieved.

But the three former traitors aren't happy at the news as N says, "When I mentioned about the betrayal, Lillie is the one that comforts Ash the most. She is able to calm Ash down when he was about to explode with anger. If I need to guess, she might have feelings for Ash."

The news causes Serena to feel pain in her heart, she asks, "How close is she with Ash? Professor?"

Kukui thinks for a second, and then he says, "When Lillie got her first Pokemon, it is Ash that helps her due to the fact she has a phobia. Lillie also lost her memory for a while and it is Ash that helps her regain all of it. And when their mother is kidnapped, it is thanks to Ash's help that she is saved."

"Come to think of it...they really are much closer than the others." Burnet says. "I also remembered that at our wedding, they also dance together for a while."

Serena breaks down a little as she has never danced with Ash because of the time...Dawn decides to change the topic as she asks, "So will Ash forgive us?"

N asks, "I have asked him about it. And he decides to forgive you and Bonnie."

"But what about Serena?" Bonnie asks. "Why don't you mention her?"

"I am afraid that it is not possible..." N sighs, "He said that of all the people who betrayed him, Serena hurt him the most, since Ash really did have feelings for her."

Serena feels her heart breaks and cries, "Why did I say that...what was wrong with me..."

"Serena..." Bonnie looks at her in sadness.

"How could I be so selfish..." Serena sobs. "Now I don't have a chance..."

"So why did you tell him that in the first place?" Kukui says. "If you love him, then you shouldn't tell him about that..."

Bonnie says, "Serena was being hypnotized! One of the traitors, the one with the glasses, he uses Gallade to hypnotize her..."

This causes the others to gasp, Dawn asks, "So that is why your brother threatened you? Because you saw that?"

Bonnie nods, and then they decide to comfort Serena first.


As for Ash and his group, they have bought the Instant Lapras to cross the Suntouched Exitway, they also train in Route 3, where Nora's Zubat evolves into Golbat. And Lillie also captures a Dewgong with Ash's help. The two are getting much closer than they think.

And finally, they arrive in Metchi Town, but what they have seen is a total mess. Snow are piling everywhere and the buildings are destroyed.

"What is going on here?" Ash says in shock.

"This town looks really messy..." Nora says. "Why?"

They quickly rush to the Pokemon Center, only to see a lot of injured Pokemon. Lillie asks, "Nurse Joy, what seems to be the problem?"

"You see...we have a really serious problem...a Delta Scyther appears in this town, all the trainers are here to catch that Pokemon, but they are seriously injured..."

"A Delta Scyther?" Lillie asks in surprise. "I wonder what typing is that?"

Nora says, "From the ice we saw outside, it must be Ice Type...we have to find it or else he will keep destroying."

They nod as they quickly rush out the center, and much to their surprise, they are seeing the blue Scyther using Slash on the Day Care Center's board.

"There it is!" Emily yells as they quickly charge towards the Pokemon. Delta Scyther sees a Delta Pikachu, he is surprised and then he tries to use Pursuit, but Pikachu uses Fairy Wind, which gives him a lot of damage.

"So Fairy Type moves are super effective?" Ash thinks, but then as Pikachu uses Aerial Ace, he also sees that Scyther falls down to its knees.

"I see...it is Ice and Fighting Type." Ash says. "Pikachu's moves are super effective against him."

"Good, but now Scyther is kinda injured now..." Lillie says as she feels worry for the Scyther. "If only we know what he is saying..."

"I can help you with that." They hear Arceus's voice, then all of them glow yellow and they can hear Pokemon voices.

"You see to be strong..." Scyther says while kneeling down.

"Why do you attack innocent people?" Pikachu asks.

"Innocent? They are far from innocent!" He yells. "They made me like this!"

Gladion says, "The way to become Delta Pokemon is not only the power of nature, but also human experiments."

Ash nods and walks towards Scyther. "Scyther. You have to stop this. It is true there are humans that are evil, but it is our job to stop them. So you need to stop them."

Scyther tries to retort, but then he somehow sees Arceus' shadow in him, he then finally collapse. Ash says, "Lillie, guys, we need to heal him." He then takes out the Pokeball and captures him, then they rush into Pokemon Center and heal him.

"You were really good at this." Nurse Joy says. "How did you manage to stop him?"

Ash says, "You see...I also have a Delta Pikachu, his typing is super effective against him."

"I see..." Nurse Joy says. "But why did he go on a rampage?"

"He was a normal Scyther, but some humans do experiments on him." Ash says.

"I see. Then we need to heal him." Nurse Joy says as she and Ash goes into the room to heal him. The reason Ash goes inside is because Scyther somehow only listen to Ash.

After Scyther is healed, he still has trust problems with the other humans, so Ash decides to keep him for the safety of others. And much to their surprise, Scyther also opens up to his group, since he can feels the Legendary inside them.

"So now we can hear what our Pokemon is saying..." Emily says.

"What didn't you tell Arceus to give us this ability before?" Nora asks.

"I don't know." Ash sighs. Then he looks at the Information.

Delta Scyther: The Ice Cleaver Pokemon: Ice and Fighting Type. Its scythes are immensely sharp but also very fragile, and can easily be shattered when hit from the side.

"I am starting to get convinced that the prophecy was about you instead or me." Nora says. "I wish I were able to read it, that way I can know for sure. Since you managed to persuade a fierce Scyther."

"I know." Ash says as they leave the town.


Here is a new chapter, and Ash captures another new Delta Pokemon. I hope you like it and the next chapter will be another new Delta Pokemon.
