Chapter 10

Ash and Lillie are now arriving at Silkan City. They are greeted by Nate, the representative of the Normal Type Aura Users. Nate bows and says, "Ash, Lillie. You've come."

Ash says, "Nate, about the Infinity Gems and the Natural Energy, have you found any books that are related to it?"

Nate says, "Of course. It's in my study."

Nate brings Ash and Lillie into the house and sees the picture of Nate's family, which consists of four people, Nate's parents, and his sister Rosa. Lillie frowns, "Rosa..."

Nate says, "I miss her a lot. It is really hard to just forget and move on..."

Ash pats his back and he says, "At least she is avenged. She can finally rest in peace."

(Flashback)

Nate and Rosa were living in the Unova Region along with their parents, they have a normal life in Aspertia City. Even though they are Normal Type Aura Users, they keep their identities a secret and they also swear not to use their powers.

Nate and Rosa are at the Aspertia Lookout, Rosa says, "Hey, Nate. I was the winner of the Unova League, and I got a chance to face the Elite Four and eventually the Champion of the region. Do you think I can win against her?"

"Of course, you can." Nate says, "We'll be cheering you on."

And unknown to Nate, this is the last time that he has spoken to his sister. After Rosa leaves for the Pokemon League in Unova, they have never heard of her. However, after a few days, two people knock on the door and Nate's mother opens it. Both of them are wearing hoods.

"May I help you?" Nate's mother asks, but just as the male figure shows the Ketchum Gem, she widens her eyes. "Your identities are exposed, the government is coming here. We need to get you out of Unova as soon as possible."

"What? But how?" Nate's mother asks with confusion.

The other female says, "Just come, we don't have time."

After Nate and his mother get onto the ship. Two of them reveal themselves to be Ash and Lillie. Ash says, "I'm the Grand User, Ash Ketchum. You know me as the devil who defeated the World Champion."

Nate says, "Wow! Ash Ketchum? I'm a fan of yours!"

Nate's mother asks, "Please tell us, how are we exposed? We have been hiding so well in Unova..."

Lillie frowns and says, "Yes, you've hidden so well, but the government is much sneakier."

They show the aura vision and they witness how Rosa is hit by Iris' Haxorus' Tri Attack. She is coughing blood and asks, "Why... you've already beat me in a battle...why are you doing this?"

Iris smirks, "Maybe because you are a filthy devil, an aura user. And as the Champion, it is our duty to kill devils like you. Now die, Hydreigon, Hyper Beam!"

Rosa sees that she has nowhere to run and she is about to die, she closes her eyes and says, "When my mother and my brother heard of my demise, I'm sure they will avenge my death!"

After the Hyper Beam hits her, her body turns into nothing but ashes that flows away. Ash and Lillie are close by, and the memories of Rosa are transferred into their minds and that's why they know what happened.

After the Aura Vision ends, Nate is angry and he yells, "How dare that Champion kill my sister! And she is laughing while doing so!"

He kneels on the ground and says, "Why... why are they doing this to us?"

Ash says, "We're living in a cruel world, we are Aura users, people treat us as devils because of our powers. I was the same when I heard my Mother was killed, that's why we are taking you to the Aura User's paradise: The Sevestar Island."

Nate's mother says, "Thank you for delivering this message to us. We're glad to know that Rosa's death is not in vain..."

After they are taken to the Silkan City where Normal Aura Users were staying, they also find out that Nate's family is actually one of the royalties of the Normal Type Aura Families, thus Nate has been rising to not only a Gym Leader of the Silkan City, but the Normal Type Representative.

(Flashback Ends)

"We killed Iris back in that War Declaration in Wyndon." Ash says. "And that causes a huge loss to the Unova Region."

"It's a good thing that they lose a lot of army in Wyndon that they are not going to fight us within these months. However, that attack causes us to have more enemies than usual." Lillie says.

"That's why we need Nate's help with the Infinity Gems. We need to know the locations of the Natural Aura Energies." Ash says.

Nate says, "The thing is, each of the regions has 18 spots for 18 Natural Energies. And I manage to make a list of it."

After looking at the 162 places, Ash says, "Wow...that's a lot of places... but that will be fine since we don't need to go outside Sevestar Island for each of the gems activations."

Lillie says, "We're just one step closer to our goal. And we're glad to know that."

Nate says, "Ash, Lillie. I know I shouldn't have asked this, but have you and the royalties tried to stop the war in a diplomatic way? I mean, even though we were having wars, there are still innocents out there that don't deserve to die."

Ash sighs and says, "I know what you think is right, and trust me, Lillie and I have been trying to use those online meetings to persuade them. But you know how it goes, only Leon, I mean only he, one person, agrees with our proposition of stop fighting."

"So they insist on having to war, killing innocent people in their own regions? This is quite fucked up if you ask me." Nate says.

"Unlike us, they are just conservative bastards who probably don't even fight in this war. They have been using lies about us being the devils so that their people can try to kill us while staying in their high positions. It is no wonder Leon wants to help us."

"What about the other Champions? They agree to let them do this?" Nate asks.

"They are brainwashed, it's no wonder." Ash shakes his head. "But thank you for the information, Nate. This will definitely help our region."

"Of course, after all, you are our saviors, for my mom and I." Nate smiles.

"That reminds me, you'll be attending the League meeting in RPA Company, right?" Ash asks.

"Of course. Alice is our Ice and Fairy Type Elite Four member, after her death, we have to choose who's the successor, right?" Nate asks.

Lillie says, "The thing is, we've already chosen the successor."

The Gym Leaders and Elite Four members of the Sevestar League aren't the same as the Representatives. Since the League members are usually giving challenges to trainers who want to challenge the league, while representatives are doing the political work in the Sevestar Region.

The Leaders are Nate (Normal), Insey (Bug), Flora (Grass), Felix (Fighting), Reisa (Water), Elline (Electric), Trenor (Ground), David (Steel), Luke (Rock), Helen (Fire), Ariel (Dark), Golly (Ghost), East (Flying), Bryce (Ice), Blade (Poison), Daniel (Psychic), Minami (Fairy), and Lucine (Dragon)

The Elite Four are Eve (Grass/Dark), Drandon (Dragon/Flying), Mark (Fighting/Water), and Alice (Ice/Fairy). However, with Alice's death, they need to pick a new Ice and Fairy Type Elite Four member.

Ash says, "And that's why Lillie will be Alice's successor as the new Elite Four member."

This causes everyone to be surprised. Golly asks, "Are you sure, Lillie? I mean, I thought you didn't like to be a part of the League like Ash..."

Lillie says, "That was in the past, however, Alice is also my best friend, and I want to continue her wishes, which is why I will be taking her role."

Flora says, "Well, the Pokemon you like to use is almost the same as Alice, it is no wonder you are a perfect choice."

"Though I doubt anyone will be able to get to you." Eve chuckles. "We are actually the strongest League in this world, only that people outside this region refuse to admit it."

"That might be a problem. And we are also one of the best battlers in this era." Ash says. "We are also the ones who are going in the front lines. Since our attack in Wyndon, all 8 regions will team up and attack us together. Their estimated time to attack might be in 2 to 3 months."

Daniel says, "Prince Ash, I'm sorry, but as one of the Aura Families who is able to watch the future, I want to say that they will actually come within a month."

"A month?" Ash asks. "Daniel, I know that your visions aren't always wrong, but how come they will attack in just one month?"

Daniel says, "That's because they knew that we might think they would need to prepare for 2 to 3 months. So they want to use it as a sneak attack to catch us off guard."

Felix says, "I guess that makes sense. I mean, if I were in their shoes, I would definitely want to give a sneak attack."

Ash nods, "Very well, that means we need to train harder and we don't want to lose any more comrades on this island. And there is also important news that I need to reveal to you. I have the power to activate the Rumbling."

This causes everyone in the room to gasp in shock. Mark says, "Brother, does that mean you know how to do it?"

Ash says, "Yesterday, I have a meeting with Arceus, one is to ask about the Infinity Gems, and the next one is about the Rumbling. I have all the conditions for doing the Rumbling, if they manage to attack, the rumbling will be able to fight them back and probably also destroy all the other regions outside of Sevestar."

Then they continue to have their usual meeting, and once they are done, Ash and Lillie are now at the president's office in RPA Company. RPA is actually a company set up by Ash and Lillie together, they are doing this because they want Sevestar Island to become a region and they need a lot of services and welfare, as well as economic growth.

Ash sits at the table while Lillie walks in with the secretary outfit, Ash asks, "What's with that outfit?"

Lillie asks, "Why? I'm your secretary, and I have to help you with the business in the region."

"Yeah. But I have to say, you look really sexy in that outfit." Ash says as he stares at Lillie, the outfit consists of a white blouse and a short black skirt, and she is wearing leggings with high heels.

"You think so?" Lillie smirks. "I hope that won't distract you from doing your work. I will give you a reward once you finish with the papers."

Ash pouts a little and says, "Fine, but you've better help me."

Lillie smiles as they start to work together with the papers of the reports.

Here is a new chapter, and as you can see, this chapter basically told the past of Ash and Lillie's friendship with Nate. And I also make some changes with the Sevestar Gym Leaders and Elite Four members because some of them are actually dead in the story, or they are not with the Sevestar League. I hope you like this chapter.
