Grass and Forest
Ash and Alice are now at the school, the camp for today is the Grass Type. Flora and Geo have already arrived at the place, and eventually, Rina also comes, but she is wearing a mask and Ash asks, "Are you feeling alright? Rina?"
Rina says, "I am fine, you don't need to worry."
Geo asks, "Wait, what happened to her? Why is she feeling sick?"
Ash sighs as he knows that Rina is Geo's girlfriend, being in the same class as Rina, Alice says, "You see, yesterday, one of our bullies have been putting toxic inside of her lunch. It is a good thing that she is being healed properly yesterday afternoon, so she is still able to come with us."
Flora says, "How could they do that? What is their problem?"
"I know that one of the bullies, Mallow, is a Grass Type specialist, and she is jealous that she wasn't able to come here. And she might be good at cooking, so it is why she tried to do that to Rina, as she is the fourth place in the Grass Type Class."
"Surely she is in detention, right?" Geo asks with anger.
"Of course." Alice says, "Now we should head to the Eterna Forest in Sinnoh Region."
After they arrive there, they notice a mansion and Ash says, "This is the place where I was living."
"But isn't that the Old Chateau? I thought that place is haunted..." Rina asks while coughing at the same time.
"You're right, it was haunted. But after I lived inside this place, I make construction at the place and now I can tell you that there are no ghosts around there."
Once they get inside, they are in awe at the sight of how luxurious the house is. Alice says, "Right now this house might be the most luxurious house you had..."
"I know what you mean." Ash says, "This is one of the first houses that I had."
After putting their things inside the house, Ash says, "Since there is some time before we begin our class start, how about we head inside the mansion so I can talk about myself to you guys?"
Flora says, "That sure is great. I have to know the current you if I want my sister to marry you."
"Sister Flora!" Alice blushes after that comment, and Rina isn't feeling well. Ash takes her to his bed so she can rest there, and Geo is staying by her side to make sure she is okay.
"If something happened, remember to call me, Geo. I will give you some medicine." Ash says as Geo says, "Don't worry, I am not going to make my girlfriend worse."
After Ash, Alice and Flora leave the room, Flora notices a big door and she asks, "Ash? What is that door over there?"
"Oh, do you want to see it?" Ash opens the door with the key, and then they are surprised to see a lot of clothes, both male and female clothes inside. Alice and Flora look at Ash with weird expressions, Alice says, "I never know you are a clothes collector..."
Ash doesn't say anything and Flora says, "Come to think of it, those are the clothes from the store known as D&W..."
"Wait, are you serious? I really like the clothes from the store! And I heard that a lot of fans say that if our store is the queen of the traditional clothes store, then this store is the king of the modern clothing store." Alice says, "Ash, are you a fan of their works?"
Ash says, "Well, you can say so?"
Flora notices Santa's outfit for the girls and she gasps, "No way! That is the outfit that is a limited edition from Christmas a year ago! I wanted to buy it, but it is sold easily and the owner didn't make more than that."
Alice asks, "How did you manage to get this outfit? I also notice that a lot of clothes are actually the limited editions of the clothes store..."
Ash sighs and he says, "To tell you the truth..." Ash says as he takes them to a place where they can see machines and an unfinished dress. "What the?" Flora and Alice are confused until Ash takes the unfinished dress and adds some things to it, making it finished and Flora looks at the dress in surprise. "Wait, does that mean all of those clothes there are made by yourself?"
Ash nods and Alice says, "You can sew clothes? Why didn't you tell me about it?"
Ash frowns a little and says, "I am sorry, but you never asked."
"Right." Alice says sarcastically. "But what is your relationship with the D&W? How are you able to get their methods to make clothes?"
Ash says, "Will you believe me that D&W is actually owned by myself?"
Alice and Flora widen their eyes in shock, and Flora asks, "Are you going to tell us that not only you have owned an RPA Company, but you also owned a clothes store that is famous all around the world for the modern version of the world?"
Ash nods, and Alice says, "Now I get why you want to make this a secret. This is really exaggerating! I mean...just how much money did you earn from doing all these kinds of business?"
"I don't know. I just want people to be happy...did I surprise you?" Ash asks.
"Of course you did. Just think about the fact that WE are friends with the Owner of D&W! That is really shocking to us and we almost get a heart attack." Flora says.
Ash says, "Okay...maybe it sure is really exaggerating."
Alice asks, "But why did you form D&W and sew clothes? If judging by the appearance, you don't seem like the type to do such things."
Ash says, "Let me say that I remember you guys, and before the betrayal happened, I did go to your mother's gym." This causes them to widen their eyes. "Your mother recognizes me back then and she did teach me how to sew and design clothes after the Gym battle."
"Wait, for real?" Alice asks, "But why didn't we see you back then?"
"Maybe it is because of the fact that we are at the Boarding school before we come to this region for High School?" Flora asks, and then they nod in realization.
"Anyways, after that, I decide to make some clothes and then I decide to make this brand. D&W is because of the fact that my name as a designer is called Dean Petra. And for W..." Ash sighs, "Maybe it is just me, but during these years, I have been searching for models to promote my clothes by taking pictures or going on stages with my clothes...I have some friends who will help me, but with the careers, they are not the perfect ones that I seek."
"Who?" Flora and Alice ask in curiosity, and Ash shows them, two people, one is Dawn Berlitz, who is a Top Coordinator from the Sinnoh Region, and Serena, the current Kalos Queen who won against Aria for the title in the Showcases.
"How did you know these two people?" Alice asks. "They are pretty famous..."
"They were my traveling companions from the Sinnoh and Kalos Region. Dawn is like a sister to me as we did help each other with the contests. As for Serena, I admit, we did date together when we are in the Kalos Region."
"Wait, you have dated her?" Flora asks and she notices Alice being jealous. Ash says, "Yeah. Since she is from Kalos and she reminds me a lot of you, as she was my childhood friend from the Kanto Region. We broke up in the end due to the fact that she is the Kalos Queen and the fact that she knows that she can't compare to you. Alice. But we are on good terms and we are still friends."
"I see." Alice says.
"It is then that I finally found someone that is the perfect model. Her name is Whith Moodle." Ash says, "The way that she dedicates herself to the modeling world...she is the perfect one that I seek. And because of her, we changed the name to D&W."
"Whith Moodle, huh?" Flora smirks as she turns to Alice. "I wonder who is under that disguise..."
Alice blushes and says, "So what if Whith Moodle is my disguise? I didn't know Dean was Ash back then..."
"But I know that you're Whith, that's why I did say that you're the perfect one." Ash says, even though with the monotone tone.
Alice blushes and says, "Let's just find Geo and Rina."
After getting back to find the two of them, they decide to talk to them while Rina is still staying on the bed. Geo wants to be a Garden Designer, while Rina wants to be a flower arranger, so Ash and Alice decide to teach them some ways to do it.
Once Rina is feeling a little better, it is already lunchtime and they decide to have lunch. Once they are done, they go to the battlefield as Ash sends out his Pokemon: Venusaur, Meganium, Sceptile, Tropius, Roserade, Shaymin, Hisuian Lilligant, Gogoat, Tsareena, and Flapple, while Alice sends out her Pokemon: Vileplume, Hisuian Electrode, Celebi, Cacturne, Cherrim, Serperior, Sawsbuck, Chesnaught, Shiinotic, and Rillaboom.
"Wow, are those your Pokemon?" Flora asks, "Those Grass Type sure looks great."
Ash says, "Indeed. As you can see, Venusaur, Meganium, and Sceptile are actually my first Pokemons, before the whole thing happened."
The others know what Ash is telling about and they decide to change the topic, Geo asks, "So is this the Sceptile that once beaten a Darkrai in the past?"
"Yeah. He is one of my strongest Pokemon, and it is also capable of Mega Evolution." Ash says as he turns to Serperior, who slithers towards Ash and nuzzles at him. "I'm sorry, Serperior...because of me, you had to suffer..."
Alice says, "Ever since Serperior is killed, I had help from a Legendary Pokemon to revive Serperior, or Snivy at that time."
"That's nice to hear." Flora says. "But did you know that it was Ash's Pokemon?"
"Well, I saved a lot of Pokemon, and Ash's Pokemon is one of them. It is just that I didn't know that they belonged to Ash until a few days ago." Alice says.
"And both of you have Shaymin and Celebi as well." Rina says, "They are rare to find in the wild."
"Ash should be grateful for Shaymin." Shaymin says proudly, and the others are surprised to find Shaymin talking normally, but Ash is groaning at Shaymin's antics.
After training, they decide to teach them some Grass Type things that aren't listed in the textbooks. Once they are done, Ash asks, "So what do you think of the Grass Type lessons for today?"
Flora says, "Grass Type Pokemon sure are vast and they really are great in some ways."
Geo says, "Indeed. Some Pokemon were dangerous, but some of them are actually friendly, I am glad that we are friends with them."
Rina says, "Seeing all those Grass Type Pokemon, I feel like my illness is getting better just by learning a lot from them."
"That's good to know." Alice says, and then they head back to school as Ash and Alice are going to give a report to Aurora.
Here is a new chapter, and this marks the end of the Grass Type, and I did some references to Dawn and Serena in this story. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be about Ash's store and how Alice becomes a model.
