Epilogue
"Sylveon is unable to battle, Glaceon is the winner, which means the match goes for Alice."
After the loss, Serena walks to Alice and says, "You really are strong."
"You're not bad as well." Alice says as they shake hands. Serena says, "I'm really sorry for everything that happened a few weeks ago. I just hope that you and Ash will be able to forgive me one day."
"Maybe one day." Alice says. "Ash and I've thought a while, and we decided to invite you to our wedding."
Serena is surprised at what she's heard, Ash and Alice are inviting her to the wedding, she accepts the invitation with tears and thanks her.
And for Ash, he is facing his father as his Greninja is battling Addam's Charizard, in the end, Charizard is defeated by Greninja's Mega Shuriken, and Ash is delighted that he wins against his father.
"You have surpassed me, Ash." Adam says, "I'm glad you have been training really hard for this battle."
"I couldn't have done it without the help of my Pokemon. Thank you, Dad." Ash says.
"And with that, the League inspection is done, the Sevestar League really is the strongest league, and for your cooperation, we will be giving you 10000000 dollars." Goodshow says to Ash.
"That sure is a lot of money, thank you." Ash says with a smile.
Timeskip to a few days after, Ash and Alice are now wearing wedding outfits, with Ash wearing a tux while Alice wearing a gown. Ash says, "Alice, ever since I met you all those years ago, I have grown to like you more and more. I am honored to be your husband for life."
"Ash, you helped me even in my weakest moments, you never give up on hope and try everything to make me happy. I am willing to be your wife for the rest of our lives."
Then the two of them share a kiss, and it causes everyone to cheer in delight. Ash and Alice stare into their eyes after the kiss, as the Sevestar Prince and Sevestar Princess, the two of them know that they have a bright future ahead of them.
And here is the epilogue. Now I'm glad that I finally finish the story considering how many rewrites I have tried to do for this one. If anyone else doesn't know, this is actually my first Ash and Alice pairing story.
When I come into Fanfiction or Wattpad, I intend to write stories with AshxLillie pairing or AshxSerena pairing. I made a lot of OCs, and it is then a person sent me a Private Message that asks me if I should pair Ash with one of my OCs, that's when I decide to go with AshxAlice stories. The reason why I'm going to do this is that Lillie and Serena have been appearing in games and Anime, and it would be hard to change their personalities because of what the readers already have in their minds. But Alice is my OC, and I can just make her the way I want.
After rewriting, I have been contemplating if I should make this one Darker Version instead, but I decided to against it considering that Ash didn't have dark thoughts as he did in the Darker Version. And the 18 gyms as well as the Elite Four having 2 types are based on a fangame that I played a lot: Pokemon Reborn. And I didn't write a lot of battles in the story because to me, it is hard to write a new battle considering that my other fics have battles.
And this is all I want to say through this fanfic, I hope you like this story, and please comment and review it as possible. And by thanking you guys to finish this story, I decided to give you some under-rewriting parts that were deleted:
(Alice's revenge on the traitors)
"Kyurem, Glaciate!" Alice yells as the Pokemon freezes all six Pokemon, causing them to faint instantly. A lot of people are also standing there in shock, as they can't believe that Kyurem just defeated six Pokemon in a one-hit KO.
The bullies lead by Ark are also stunned at their fainted Pokemon, Tokui yells, "Hey, this is not fair! You shouldn't have used a Legendary Pokemon on us!
"Yeah, how are we supposed to beat a Legendary Pokemon? We want a rematch." Ella says as the six of them are starting to protest to Alice.
"That is not my problem. I have warned you about my strength, but you decide to ignore it and treat me as a useless kid back in school." Alice says.
"Besides, you are in my castle grounds, as the princess of the Rota Kingdom, she has been holding back on you guys. Now leave and don't bother her again." Ash decides to help Alice out and now the six of them are looking at Ash with fury in their eyes.
"We will not leave until we get what we want, don't even think that you can be all so mighty when you are the prince of this kingdom." Ark says, and Ash feels angry as to how dare the boy talk back to him like that.
"Besides, Alice was only a spoiled brat that hides behind the prince's shadow, without the prince, she is nothing." Belle says, and Alice lowers her head, showing an emotionless expression.
"Don't you dare say that to Alice!" Ash yells as the people of the kingdom are now backing him up, except for the traitors. But Alice says, "No, Ash. This is my problem and I am going to deal with it."
"And how are you going to do it, spoiled princess?" Ella asks.
Alice snaps her fingers, and then everyone can hear a song playing as Alice starts to sing a song.
"Here comes a wave
Meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand
Left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder."
"Oh no, she is singing again..." Hakano says with annoyance on her face.
"Yeah...she has a bad voice, how is that supposed to scare us?" Belle says.
"But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down.
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless."
Just then, Alice suddenly uses the move Sandstorm, much to everyone's shock since they don't know how she does it. Ash also notices the Sandstorm and he mutters, "Let it go with the Snowstorm, and now Speechless with the Sandstorm...she is becoming this strong..."
Written in stone
Every rule, every word
Centuries-old and unbending
Stay in your place
Better seen and not heard
But now that story is ending
'Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless"
The sand has caused the six bullies to be stuck, as they struggle to get out of the sand tomb, but in vain. Alice isn't going to save them as she continues to sing and dance. Everyone in the area is either try to hide back into their houses or stunned at the beauty of her voice and movements, and Ash is the one that admires the most.
"Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Hear the echoes saying I
Won't be silenced
Though you want to see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless"
Once the song ends, the storm also stops, and all she gets is applauds from the townspeople except the six bullies and the traitors. The bullies are now out of the sand as they glare at Alice, but Alice doesn't seem to be fazed and she just says, "I'll tell you again, leave, and I won't be silenced by you guys. You gave me nothing but pain, I will endure it more when you try to do it to me again."
As the others try to move forward, Ark stops them and says, "No, what we should get rid of is not Alice, it is the prince that makes her like that. Let's go and think of a way to stop the prince."
The others nod in agreement as they give them curses before they leave. Alice sighs in relief and sits down on the ground. Ash says, "Alice, are you alright?"
"I am fine." Alice says. "It is just that I can't believe that they will come here to annoy me..."
"That man who seems to be the leader, is he the Ark that you told me about a few days ago?" Ash asks, and Alice nods. "Yeah, and the others are the ones that gave me pain back in school that I dropped out of."
"So why are they coming back for you? Don't tell me that my nightmare is going to become real..." Ash mutters.
"No, I only love you and I will never love a bully and a pig just like him." Alice says. "I think we need to inform our families about this situation so that we will come up a way to counter them."
"You're right." Ash says as they quickly leave the square, but they didn't see that the traitors have something planned as they are going to find those people.
(Alice believes Ash did the crime)
Ash says, "Alice, you said that you knew I am innocent, but why are you turning the tides this time? What have I ever done to you?"
"What are you talking about? Ash? You are a criminal, and I don't like Criminals...maybe it is a mistake to be your princess...since I don't love you...this is a goodbye." Then she leaves.
"No...Alice..." Ash yells as he is taken to the court, then he is sentenced to life imprisonment, and then he is inside a dark and cold jail with nothing but walls. And much to his shock, the walls have a light that shows what Alice is doing, she is being happy with a man he doesn't know and his heart breaks.
Ash cries and cries, then he starts to sing a song to express his sadness.
"I could hardly believe it
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From that look upon your face, I see it's true.
So tell me all about it
Tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
Oh, tell me one thing more before I go"
The walls start to break and then the images of Alice being with the man floods around him like a moat, Ash is being trapped, but he doesn't seem to care as he sings.
"Tell me how am I supposed to live without you?
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you?
And how am I supposed to carry on?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone"
The images have disappear, and Ash decides to move forward, but he trips on a rock that was made by his memories of his travels, and he tries to stand back up, but he fails as he can only sing.
"I'm too proud for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day
We'd be so much more than friends"
"I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming
Oh, even now it's more than I can take"
Ash then sees pictures of Serena and then Alice together with him in front of the wall, but when he tries to reach it, a cage appears and then the pictures are trapped inside.
"Tell me how am supposed to live without you?
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you?
And how am I supposed to carry on?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone"
Ash laughs out loud and says, "Serena... even Alice...why do I always break their heart? Why do they love me at first, but then decide to throw me away like trash? Why?"
He kneels down and sobs, "Is it wrong for me to love? Why? Why should I have to suffer this nightmare? Why would I have to be a target for what I haven't done?"
At the same time, the song is getting emotional as Ash's roaring can be heard in it.
"Now I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming
Oh, now that your dream has come true
Tell me how am supposed to live without you?
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you?
And how am I supposed to carry on?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone"
After the song ends, Ash is now lying on the ground as he seems not to care about anything from before, as if in this dream, he is not the prince that everyone loves, instead, he is a criminal that everyone hates.
(The next morning after Ash and Alice sleep together)
The morning has risen as Ash and Alice are still sleeping. Eve, who is always the morning person due to the fact that she is dreaming to be a Professor, walks past Alice's room in order to go to the kitchen, but as the door is unlocked, Eve notices that Ash and Alice are sleeping in the same bed. Just by the scene, she is very excited and shocked, she quickly rushes into Flora's room and shakes her.
"Flora, wake up, you have to see this." Eve says, but Flora just yawns and says, "Five more minutes, Eve..."
Eve pouts as she decides to drag her by her pajamas to make her stand up, and then she drags her arm as they run towards Alice's room. Flora just mutters, "I swear you need to have a good reason for interrupting my beauty sleep..."
"I do, just hurry up." Eve says as they finally get to Alice's room. Flora asks with a still sleepy voice, "Why are we here in Alice's room?"
As Eve opens Flora's eyes, she notices Ash and Alice are cuddling in their sleep, this causes her to widen her eyes in shock. But then she notices that both of them are wearing pajamas, so they sigh in relief as they aren't ready to become aunts.
"No fair...Alice gets Ash as her teddy bear." Flora says with a laugh. "But they look so cute together..."
"Seriously, we really need to hook the two up together." Eve says as she takes out the smartphone and takes a photo, but the sound causes the two of them to awake, so she quickly hides it back into her pocket.
Ash and Alice are yawning as they notice the two girls, Alice mutters, "Eve? Flora? What are you doing in my room?"
Flora says, "The best question is, what are you and Ash doing in your room this whole night?"
Ash and Alice notice that they are cuddling each other and they quickly back away, both of them are blushing red like tomatoes. "I am sorry, Ash..."
"No, I think...I really enjoyed it...but please trust us, we didn't do anything..."
"Oh, don't worry." Eve says. "We aren't jealous and you two are cute together."
As Ash hears it, he frowns again. Alice notices it and she realizes the reason why Ash is like this. She quickly says, "Eve, can you please drop the topic? Ash is being dumped by the girl he loved and he has yet to recover."
Eve realizes her mistake and she quickly says in a panic tone. "Oh my gosh, Ash. I am really sorry, I didn't mean to..."
"No, it is fine." Ash says. "I am glad that the three of you still trust me after everyone betrayed me. Not to mention, I am going to contact my father so that you three can come to the place where I am living."
Eve and Flora decide to leave the two alone as Eve is going to the kitchen to have breakfast while Flora goes to her room to dress up. As for Ash and Alice, Alice is dressing up in the bathroom as she doesn't want Ash to have his perverted mind. While Ash is sitting at the bed waiting for her.
And those are the three scenes that I decided to give you all, thank you for reading this story.
