Last Chapter…

Alder, Trip, Georgia, and Stephan were in the first floor where they saw the Elites of Johto, Alola, Hoenn, and Paldea. They were happy that Iris was not in the same floor and they talkd with the various trainers to learn about various battle strategies. Currently, Alder, Trip, Georgia, and Stephan were sitting around a roundtable.

Alder said "I feel content that Iris is not in the floor, she brings negativity wherever she is."

Trip asked "Yes, the floor seems peaceful. The world seems so much peaceful, I feel like something bad could happen in the near future as problems usually arise after peaceful times. We must be on the lookout for whether various teams could create problems in the regions."

Lance finished eating food and then Lance noticed Alder was with three young people whon Lance did not know. Alder was Lance's old friend and so Lance rushed to see Alder. Lance soon reached Alder and smiled at him and Alder smiled at him in return.

Lance said "You also lost to a young woman like how I lost to a young woman. Al least she let me to be the Champion in Johto."

Alder remarked "It is Green, right. She seems to be a decent person unlike the current Unovan Champion who does not have any sportsmanship. The current Unovan Champion, Iris, loves to insult trainers when she wins and she has always won her matches."

Lance then went to sit and sat between Trip and Alder. Lance then said "We need to discuss about the Ash clique. They are a group of trainers whose one connection is that they traveled with Ash but none of them behave good to opponents, they in fact insult them, and they engage in all sorts of behavior which Ash would disapprove of."

Trip then said "Yes, they are known as Ash clique for their connection to him but in character, they are the opposite of Ash. They are the ones who were present when Ash died. A few of them were present when Misty died. Their character change occured around the time Ash and Misty died. Their rise to fame also occured around the time Ash and Misty died."

Lance said "You mean to say, Ash and Misty died because of them? Because that is the only thing I can get from this. Ash's and Misty's bodies were never shown." Steven was surprised to hear Trip analyzing the situation so well that he felt like Trip could get the secret which Ash, Misty, Steven, and Cynthia kept among themselves. He knew that he would have to report this to Ash and Misty that Trip was able to analyze and Lance concluded the truth.

Meanwhile, Drew, Harley, Tyson, Morrison, Katie, and Kelly were walking around in the first floor. May had challenged Drew and Harley that they were weaker than her in Pokemon batttling and if they were men, they should take part in the competition. Drew and Harley agreed to the challenge.

Drew was dissaponted due to May defeating him always in the battle round and he wanted to prove his strength. Harley wanted to humiliate May as she was always humiliating him when he was taking part in contests and she happened to take part in the contests.

Harley knew that he would humiliate May before so May is having her revenge on him by doing that but he apologised to May but still May was continuing to humiliate him. Drew and Harley knew that they were insulted by May whenever they lost to her and they disliked that.

Tyson then said "Do you know what connects us? We were rivals to Ash and his connections."

Drew knew that Tyson had a point "Yes, I appreciate the bonds we have made together."

Harley saw Morrison walk rapidly to the buffet, take the plate, and then get the food on the plate and then was eaing the food rapidly. "Look, Morrrison is eating food from the buffet! We need to go and eat, otherwise there would no food left."

Drew, Harley, Tyson, Katie, and Kelly then went rapidly to the buffet, took the plates, and then got the food on the plates. Drew, Harley, Tyson, Morrison, Katie, and Kelly were rapidly eating the food for some time and then they finished eating the food.

Drew, Harley, Tyson, Morrison, Katie, and Kelly then walked and then they saw the famous Gym Leader, former Champion, and Top Coordinator Wallace walk. Drew, Harley, Tyson, Morrison, Katie, and Kelly walked rapidly to Wallace and then reached Wallace.

Drew said "Wallace, could you be a mentor to me? I believe that I can do well in Grand Festivals as I have become a Top Coordinator in one and gome to high ranks in others. I would also like to train under you for the battles." Drew knew that he made sure to compete at a Grand Festival where May and Dawn were not competing and so he won that Grand Festival.

Wallace nodded "Sure, I can be the mentor to you. Alright, I would love to travel with you all so could we travel together?"

Drew then said "Sure, you can come with us! It would be a pleasure to have you travel with us."

Tyson then said "I am also fine with you traveling with us, we all would get to learn a lot by travelling with you."

Steven was investigating the rocks in the volcanic cavern. Steven was investigating the rocks present in the cave and saw that there were many igneous rocks and a few metamorphic rocks. He soon saw Metagross come out of the Pokeball and indicate that Steven sit on it.

Steven then said "Fine, then!"

Metagross then flew rapidly on the ground and then fly and reach the place where there was magma deep under. Steven then was surprised to see Metagross go deep and then Metagross used Psychic and stopped what seemed like a boy from falling.

Steven then grabbed the boy and saw that it was Ash, the trainer who defeated him. He had no ill feelings despite being defeated. Steven was surprised that he fell and then he heard Ash say "Take me to Misty." and Steven nodded and said "First, you are going to a hospital in Slateport City where they provide the best medical facilities. Misty will then be called there."

Ash nodded and then Metagross flew rapidly and reached the cave floor and then flew rapidly in the cave for some time. Metagroos then reached the exit and then flew rapidly for some time and Steven and Ash were resting. Metagross soon reached Slateport City hospital.

Steben then got down and returned Metagross to the Pokeball. Steven entered the hospital and ran rapidly in the hospital. Steven soon reached an ICU room and the doctor saw Steven and Ash who was in a terrible condition. The doctor took Ash rapidly to the ICU room while saying "He has suffered a lot due to the heat and his arm is fractured."

Later...

Cynthia was taking photographs of the murals in Sky Pillar as she was an archaeologist and Sky Pillar had a lot of history. Cynthia then saw Garchomp come out of the Pokeball which was such a rare incident that she was surprised what surpried her even more was Garchomp asking her to sit on it by pointing at it's back.

Cynthia then said "Alright, I will sit on you!" and Cynthia sat on Garchomp.

Cynthia was then surprised to see Garchomp run and then jump from the window while using Dragon Rush. Cynthia did not what had gotten into Garchomp used Sandstorm. Garchomp then went and held a person who shouted on pain from the impact.

Cynthia was shocked "I will make sure that you will be treated." Cynthia then noticed that the person was Misty.

Garchomp soon landed on the water and then placed Misty behind and Cynthia carried Misty. Garchomp then swam in the water for some time. Cynthia looked at Misty who looked to be injured to her due to the impact from the force on landing on Garchomp.

Misty then said "Take me to Ash!"

Cynthia nodded and said "I will, Misty." Garchomp swam for some time and soon Cynthia got a phone call. Cynthia checked the phone call and saw that it was from Steven. Cynthia then accepted the call from Steven.

Steven said "Cynthia, come to Slateport City! Ash is taking treatment due to the heat of the magma."

Cynthia said then "I have saved Misty from the fall. I think both incidents are connected."

Night...

Ash felt fine and he was near Misty whose hands and legs had a major fracture. Ash was sad to see Misty in such a state. Ash and Misty were alone in the ICU room and Ash heard that he could be released in ten days but Misty needed some ninety days for her to be fully cured.

Ash asked "Who were responsible for ding this to you? I will make sure that such a person will get revenge."

Misty said "Brock pushed me from the top of Sky Pillar."

Ash then said "How dare Brock for doing that! He was responsible for my betrayal. It was Dawn and Serena who pushed me to fall in the magma filled cavern."

Misty asked "You mean that famous idol Serena and Top Coordinator Dawn did that! They deserve revenge! But what is the relation between you and those two that they did that?"

Ash answered "They used to travel with me in Sinnoh and Kalos respectively."

Misty realized something "Something is suspicious in how they rose rapidly to fame..."

More often than he would have cared to admit, Ash found himself standing on the roofs of buildings. But it was already taking place. He was first unsure about his decision to avoid everyone after running into all of his old friends, associates, acquaintances, and even adversaries. He had cast a quick glance at Erika helping Flint sober up. He had seen Paul instructing the top Unova players in the game of Pokémon baseball.

Then, while he was climbing, he felt his blood start to boil. The traitors were there conversing with one another. Nearly every single one of them was in Kanto. He would alert his elites as soon as she had the chance. Ash laughed because Max appeared to have grown only a half-foot taller in the past six years. Despite the six-year gap, Dawn didn't appear to have undergone any physical changes, which Ash had to grin at. While he was aware that Iris and Cilan were infatuated with one another and had the potential to become partners, he did not know this for sure until they were holding hands.

But none of that matched to her initial shock at spotting Professor Samuel Oak engaging them in civil conversation. Since this was such a large competition, she attempted to believe that it was just a coincidence that Professor Oak had happened to run into them. This was always a possibility, Ash knew.

But the more he considered it, the more he began to worry that it was real—that Professor Oak was a confirmed traitor. The problem? He had to come up with a technique to demonstrate it. Ash was constantly looking around to see if anyone was not spying. Ash then saw Misty walk to him and she smiled at him. Ash was also seeing the Alolan Elite Four, Mallow, Sophocles, Lana, Kiawe, and Champion Lillie speak nicely with Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet.

Misty said "Iris and Lillie have the protection of Alola and Unova to do as they want. As part of the Pokemon League, Kanto has signed certain treaties that foreigners who commit crimes are exiled to their regions instead of being arrested but if we reveal our stories to the world, they would agree to have them all arrested."

Ash then said "You are right, Ash. I think the Professors were also a part of the betrayal."

Ash and Misty then saw Steven approach them with concern and Ash and Misty were concerned. Steven soon reached Ash and Misty and said "Alder, Trip, Georgia, Stephan were able to get to the truth as Trip analyzed and Lance concluded the truth that they betrayers are responsible for you two's death. Even then they knew that Iris and Lillie would be tough to go against."

Ash said "The more people that would support us, the merrier it is. As a large group, we can confront the betrayers. However, this is my region, and I am going to make sure that each and every betrayer has justice served to them just like how they betrayed us."

Misty then said "We will reveal ourselves."

Misty then said "I am not sure if we will get their motive of betrayal from this, they probably have destroyed all evidence present. Their motive is very important. How did they get so strong after the betrayal? There are so many questions which need answers and we will have to see."

Ash said "Some kind of Mega Stone, Z Crystal, Dynamax Band like power that powers their Pokemon is what I can think of. So their Pokemons are powered by what they carry around. Misty, do you think we should make the competition like no one is able to use Mega Evolution, Z Moves, Dynamax?"

Misty answered "I would like to defeat them at their full power but if they are using such a system, would it be unfair to the other competitors? I think it would be so we need to make a level playing field so Mega Evolution, Z Moves, Dynamax would be banned. The Pokemons and trainers will be inspected before the match as to whether they have items which power their Pokemons."

Ash said "That is a brilliant idea. They may try to smuggle their powering devices as Tera Orbs or have them in Pokeballs so we need to make sure that their Tera Orbs and Pokeballs are inspected as to whether they are normal orbs and Pokeballs or they are powering devices. We would make a rule that anyone with powering devices will be banned."

Present…

Ash vowed to exact revenge on those who had deceived him after he had been duped. He made a heartfelt promise to each and every one of them that they would all suffer. He had every right to be furious with their guts, and he was. There wouldn't be mercy, there wouldn't be second chances, and there wouldn't be forgiveness. The Kanto tournament had one benefit: He had total control over everything.

Nothing happened without Ash being aware of it. He has spies on the lookout for troublemakers all around Kanto. Of course, Ash expressly defined "Troublemakers." If they weren't speaking with Green directly, no spy would follow orders. They wouldn't take it from his Elites, or anybody else but him. However, he would hold the traitors accountable for their actions. He would have her most dependable spy latch onto the bunch of traitors the moment they crossed paths again and wouldn't let up until he ordered it.

"Misty, would you like to attend the party?" Ash asked.

"Not interested right now. I can see the traitors are happily chatting with each other." Misty said as she noticed the group of traitors happily chatting with each other.

"I am going to have my revenge on them." Ash said.

Misty knew what the traitors did and she heard a small part of their discussion and went up to reveal that to Ash but soon, she saw Dawn running and carrying Ash who was unconscious along with the traitors running and they left the house. Afterwards, she herself was betrayed.

"We have traveled many places together and I was happy to have traveled with you." Ash smiled on hearing that from Misty.

"You could have become an Elite Four member in Kanto but you declined. Why?" Ash was curious to know.

"Because I already wanted to be a Champion so I decided to pursue being a Champion." Ash nodded on hearing that.

"I am fine with what you choose, Misty." Misty smiled on hearing that from Ash.

"Ash, Kanto has so many stars visible in the night. It looks like the lights in Kanto make sure that there is less light pollution. It is nice to watch the night sky with you, Ash!" Ash made sure that Alola would have many stars visible in the night sky by regulations on what types of lights could be used in night.

"What I find very beautiful, is you, Misty!" Misty blushed and smiled on hearing that.

Misty then kissed Ash on his lips and they stood there wth Ash placing his hands on Misty's lower back and Misty placing her hands on Ash's shoulders. Ash deepened the kiss and their tongues touched each other and held each other. Ash and Misty were in this position for some time and then parted and Ash and Misty smiled at each other.

"I love kissing you despite me kissing you many times before as I love you and I will continue to love you! You are the most beautiful girl that I have seen." Misty blushed on hearing that.

"I also find you to be the most handsome man. You are a very cool person and I am happy to be with you. As time passed, you seemed more cooler than Gary or Rudy and now, you are much more cooler than them." Ash smiled on hearing that.

"Misty, I can take you on a ride on my Talonflame. Would you like to have a ride?" and Misty nodded and said in a happy voice "Yes, I would love to travel with you on Talonflame in the cool night."

Ash then released Talonflame and then Ash and Misty embarked on Talonflame. Misty then used her arms and held Ash's waist and felt his ripped abs. Ash felt Misty's slim curvy body pressing against him and he smiled.

Ash then said "Talonflame, fly high!" and then Talonflame flew high while Ash and Misty were enjoying the sights of many stars in the sky. There was a cool breeze which felt nice to the skin.

Talonflame continued to fly and Ash then said "Fly to the peak of Mount Silver!" and Talonflame flew in the direction of the tall mountain. Ash and Misty could see the mountain in the horizon and they noticed they were getting closer to the mountain.

Ash and Misty enjoyed the sights of the stars and Ash said "I love this ride. The sky is beautiful and I can experience this with a beautiful woman like you!" and Misty smiled and said to Ash "I also like the view of the stars and traveling with you."

Talonflame continued to fly for some time while Ash and Misty enjoyed the sights of the stars and then Talonflame reached the peak of Mount Silver. Ash and Misty got down from Talonflame and then saw the beautiful sights of the mountains for some time while Ash and Misty held each other hands.

Ash said "Now, we can go to The Party Starter." and Misty said "Yes, I am fine with that." Ash and Misty then embarked on Talonflame who then flew up high and Ash said "Fly rapidly!" and Talonflame flew rapidly while Ash and Misty enjoyed the speed they were moving at and the breeze they felt along with enjoying the view of the stars. Talonflame soon reached The Party Starter and Ash and Misty got down from Talonflame. Ash then said "Talonflame, you were amazing!" andTalonflame smiled. Ash then returned Talonflame to the Pokeball.

"Let us go to Ultra Megalopolis and enjoy time there! What do you think?" Ash wanted Misty's opinion.

"Yes, we can spend quite some time there but when we return, it would be barely some time spent here." Misty knew about the naure of Ulltra Space.

"Alright, Solgaleo, go!" Ash then released Solgaleo from the Pokeball. Solgaleo then created a wormhole and Ash and Misty stepped through the wormhole to reach Ultra Megalopolis. Ash then returned Solgaleo to the Pokeball.

"A place without light other than light generated by heat and electricity. It is amazing to spend time in thhis city. It is sad to hear that they lost light but they have learned to cope with that." Ash nodded to what Misty said.

"Yes, it is like a perpetual night here. You have managed to calm down Necrozma after giving it a lot of power. I was amazed when you managed to tame Necrozma. You used up so many Z-Crystals in the process. How did you get so many Z-Crystals?" Misty was curious about that.

"I got the Aether Foundation to manufacture Z-Crystals from any energy source like Megs Stones, Key Stones, Wishing Stars, Tera Orbs, and a lot were utilized on Necrozma and then Necrozma got it's light back and was then calmed down." Misty nodded.

Ash and Misty then walked in the streets of Ultra Megalopolis and saw peope with pale gray-blue skins walking and they were pale gray-blue due to Necrozma taking up all of the light. People noticed both of them walking and knew that they were visitors.

"Misty, I actually have purchased a home here. We can go there and spend time there. It is a penthouse and I bought it for bot of us as you are my partner." Ash said.

"Yes, we can go there." Misty said.

Ash and Misty walked in the pavement of the road for some time while they were looking at the city which looked beautiful. The people in Ultra Megalopolis looked at them and they knew their ancestors had normal skin color before a few of them tried to steal Necrozma's light. Necrozma was calmed only recently and his light was used to generate electiricity as they no longer needed a lot of light due to adapting to be without light.

"Ash, from where does Ultra Megalopolis get the heat necessary so that their city does not become very cold due to lack of light?" Ash knew that Misty asked a good question.

"Geothermal heat from the interior heats up which was not a sustainable method forever, but could last for a long time but now that Necrozma has got back it's power, they can have power back." Misty got her answer.

"You really are their savior for helping them with Necrozma." Ash knew that.

Ash and Misty walked in the pavement for quite sometime while looking at the beauty of the place or looking at each other and continued to walk. Ash and Misty soon reached the apartment and Ash pressed the button of the elevator and the lift came down and opened.

Ash and Misty then entered in the elevartor and Ash pressed the button for the highest floor and the elevator door closed and Ash and Misty waited in the elevator. The elevator door then opeened and then Ash and Misty left the elevator and walked. Ash then used his card key and opened the door and then Ash and Misty walked inside.

"Wow, your house is beautiful!" Ash nodded on hearing that.

"You can look at my watch which is made to show the real world time. We have quite some time as in the real world, we have barely spent any time." Misty looked at Ash's watch and noticed that.

"Yes, you are right. We can go and sit on the sofa." Ash nodded and Ash and Misty went and sat on the sofa. Misty switched on the television and saw that they also had channels for different issues. Mistty then put the news channel which reported nothing major going on. Misty then switched off the television.

"Do you remember the travels in Paldea near Glaseado?" Ash asked.

"Yes, I do remember." Misty answered.

Flashback

Ash and Misty were traveling in Paldea region for some time together. Misty had her gym trainers battle challengers and her gym trainers were strong. Ash and Misty were in Paldea to train their teams so that their Pokemons become even stronger while growing a closer bond with them.

Ash and Misty were traveling in the mountainous area for some time in the snowstorm with Pikachu sitting on Ash's shoulder and Misty holding Ash's left hand. Ash and Misty knew that it was a sudden snow storm as they did not see news about the snow storm in their phones.

"The snow looks beautiful. It is nice to travel here with you." Ash nodded on hearing that.

"Yes, I love traveling with you. The snow indeed looks beautiful." Ash said.

Ash and Misty continued to walk for some time while enjoying the scenery of the snowy mountains with peaks that looked beautiful and then they reached a narrow passage with the mountain on one side and a cliff on the other side. Ash then released Dragonite and then Ash and Misty embarked on Dragonite.

Dragonite flew along the route and they saw a few sections of the route was breaking due to the excess snow and they were happy that they did not take the risk to walk on them only to fall later. Dragonite continued to fly and then they reached a route which was safe to walk on.

Ash then returned Dragonite to the Pokeball and Ash and Misty walked in the route. Ash and Misty continued to walk in the route for some time and then they reached mountains which had no snow. Ash and Misty walked in the mountainous route and saw that theey were able to see the sea to their left in the horizon.

Ash and Misty continued to walk in the mountains without snow for some time and there was a lot of heavy wind. Ash and Misty knew that they were somewhere between Kalos and Paldea and they could see no Pokemon in sight. Ash and Misty continued to walk for some time in the mountainous route.

Ash and Misty then noticed some Naganadels flying around and also Buzzwoles flying and Pheromosa running while they were able to see a small town in the distance. Ash and Misty then walked for some time and then Ash and Misty reached the town and saw an elderly man.

"We can also see the lack of Pokemons in this town. Why is that so?" Ash asked.

"The Ultra Beasts were much more powerful than the Pokemon and so many Pokemons fleed from this area. A few Pokemon still are present here though but they have to be as strong or stronger than the Ultra Beasts." Ash and Misy nodded to what the elderly man said.

"Now, that you have agreed with the code of conduct, I will be your guide to this small place between Kalos and Paldea." Ash and Misty nodded and then Ash and Misty followed the man.

"Here is the hotel of tthe city! You can have cuisines from various regions here as the cooks are skilled." Ash and Misty saw a hotel which had many seats and tables with some people sitting and eating and also had an Air Conditioned hall in the second floor. Ash and Misty continued to follow the old man and walked on the streets to see various shops that sold various items.

"Here, there is a large supermarket where groceries, stationery, meat, electronic items, and various other things can be bought. The goods here are delivered from various regions." Ash and Misty nodded to what the man said and they continued to walk and they saw more shps that caered to specific things like electronic items, electrical items, stationery, tables, chairs, beds, matresses.

"Here there is a park where the people of he town can enjoy nature. There are no Pokemon in this Park though due to the presence of Ultra Beasts. There is also a fountain in this park." Ash and Misty found the park to be beautiful looking and continued to follow their guide.

"What do you do for a living?" Ash asked.

"I am the mayor of his town and this town is the capital region of this small region between Kalos and Paldea." Ash and Misty nodded.

"It is nice to meet you, mayor." Ash said.

"Yes, it is indeed good to meet you." Misty said.

"That is very good. Let us continue on as I show you the various amenities in my town." Ash and Misty continued to follow the mayor who was their guide.

"Here is the sports park where they can play various sports! There is also an stadium which can host various matches and even battles between trainers. However, as I mentioned you, there are mostly Ultra Beasts used by the trainers." Ash and Misty nodded.

"What do they choose as their starters?" Misty asked.

"They choose between Cosmog and Poipole." the mayor said.

"That is interesting. Cosmog would become Cosmoem and then Solgaleo or Lunala while Poipole would become Naganadel." Ash noted.

"You are right. Naganadel is faster but Lunala and Solgaleo are more powerful. It is a choice that trainers here would have to make unless Poipole or Cosmog or Cosmoem do not want to evolve." Ash and Misty found out the mayor knew about strategy.

"Yes, they need to do their research before choosing a Pokemon. Speed vs Power." the mayor nodded. Ash and Misty continued to follow the mayor who walked in the streets of the town.

"We have now reached the lake. Nihilego live deep in the lake." Ash and Misty looked at the lake which looked beautiful and Pikachu said "Pika!" happily on seeing the lake. Ash and Misty followed the man who walked while also looking at the lake. The place looked beautiful with clear blue sky and the bright sun.

"We have reached the end of the town. Explore this small region to your heart's content."

"Thank You for presenting the town to us!" Ash said.

"Thank You!" Misty said.

"You are welcome." the mayor said.

Ash and Misty then walked in the forest which was in the end of the town and saw Kartanas flying rapidly in the forest. Ash and Misty found the sound the Kartanas made in the forest to be nice and continued to walk with Ash and Misty holding hands with Ash's left hand holding Misty' right hand.

Ash and Misty continued to walk and they saw some beautiful mountains as they walked and it was winter and there was snow on the mountains which made the mountains to look even better. Ash and Misty continued to walk in the forest and noticed that there was a mountain range at the horizon.

Ash and Misty walked in the forest and noticed that in the thicker sections of the forest, there was Buzzwole, and Pheromosa was there on the dry slopes of the mountain above the tree line. Ash and Misty continued to walk and they were happy to be with each other while exploring Paldea and the small region.

"Let us kiss each other?" Ash asked.

"Yes, I also want that!" Misty said.

Ash then pined Misty to a tree and kissed her lips and then their mouths opened and Ash and Misty's tongues touched and Ash and Misty's tongues held each other for some time and then Ash and Misty parted while smiling at each other. Ash then brought the kisses to Misty's right cheek and then down to her jawline, her neck and then her traps and collarbone. Misty was meanwhile kissing Ash's cheeks.

Ash then again kissed Misty on her lips and then their mouths opened and Ash and Misty's tongues touched and Ash and Misty's tongues held each other for some time and then Ash and Misty parted while smiling at each other. Ash then brought the kisses to Misty's left cheek and then down to her jawline, her neck and then her traps and collarbone.

Ash and Misty then lay on the forest floor with Ash on top of Misty and Ash and Misty were kissing and cuddling each other, happy to be with each other. Ash and Misty then smiled and Ash lay on Misty for some time. Ash and Misty then got up from the forest floor.

"That was amazing!" Misty said.

"Yes, it was amazing!" Ash said.

Ash and Misty then walked in the forest for some time and Ash was looking at Misty whom he found to be very beautiful. Msty blushed when she noticed that Ash was looking at her and Ash also blushed on noticing that Misty noticed that he was looking at her.

Ash and Misty continued to walk for some time and Ash held Misty's right hand with his left hand. Ash felt happy to have Misty as his partner with whom he can discuss what he wanted to. Misty was meanwhile happy to have Ash as her partner and found him to be a cool person.

Ash and Misty noticed the mountain range becoming closer to them as they walked and Ash and Misty continued to walk in the direction of the mountain range. Ash and Misty guessed the small region would ned whenthey reached the mountain range.

Ash and Misty saw that they reached a meadow where there were many Naganadels who were flying around. Ash and Misty found it interesting that the Ultra Beasts adapted to the environment and lived there while the people of the town lived with Ultra Beasts and not Pokemon.

"Ash, do you think Ultra Beasts can be considered Pokemons? I mean stronger Pokemons like Dragonite and Salamence are considered Pokemons." Misty wanted to know.

"The Pokedex considers Ultra Beasts to be Pokemons and they indeed resemble Pokemons but they are many in number and are very strong." Ash stated what he knew.

Ash and Misty found Naganadel's sounds while they were flying to be nice to hear and Ash and Misty continued to walk in the meadow. Ash and Misty saw a small pond to the left with clear water and they found the pond to look nice. Ash an dmIsty were walking for some time in the meadow.

Ash and Misty then reached the slope and Ash and Misty trekked up the slope which had a forest. Ash and Misty continued to trek in the forest for some time while they looked at the trees and sky which they found to be beautiful. Ash and Misty then watched the Kartanas flying rapidly in the forest.

"Ash, I find you looking handsome both when you look normal and when you change your hair color and eye color to be Red." Ash was happy to hear that.

Ash and Misty continued to trek in the mountain an then they reached a slope that went down to a valley. Ash and Misty then trekked down the slope for some time and then saw a valley which had a lake in the middle along with a meadow. Ash and Misty ran down the slope and then reached a meadow.

Ash and Misty then ran in the meadow which looked beautiful with the cear blue sky and the bright sun and the clear waer of the lake. Ash and Misty saw that there were no settlements near the lake and the area was devoid of people and even Pokemons.

"I think we have reached the end of the small region where they allow Ultra Beasts as here there no Ultra Beasts or Pokemons and seems like a border area between the Ultra Beast area and the place beyond where there could be Pokemons." Misty nodded on hearing that.

"I had a lot of fun in this adventure with you!" Misty said.

"Yes, I also loved to travel with you!" Ash said.

Present

"Could we go back to our world?" Ash asked.

"Yes, we can go back." Misty answered.

"Alright, Solgaleo, go!" Ash then released Solgaleo from the Pokeball. Solgaleo then created a wormhole and Ash and Misty stepped through the wormhole to reach Ultra Megalopolis. Ash then returned Solgaleo to the Pokeball. Ash pulled out his Pokégear and made a call. A voice might be heard after a brief ringing period.

"Well hey there, boss. What services can we provide?" on the opposite side, a man spoke. Ash made a low sound. "Come to the top of the building and arrive here within one hour, no later. This is essential."

"Boss, of course. We'll arrive there soon." After that sentence, the line was terminated. Ash considered his next move in silence. He was prepared to ask them to do anything, but carrying it out was the tricky part. He had discovered that espionage was never simple and almost always came at a high cost. This was true even for assassins of their calibre.

Misty then said "I am leaving to explore the area more, Ash! You need not worry, no one will identify me!" and Ash then said "Fine, Misty, you can go and explore, I also have an important job." Misty nodded and then walked far to reach the other part of the roof where she was far from Ash and she was looking at the clear sky with stars.

4thFloor… Battlefield…

Iris asked May as the group of traitors were chatting happily with each other "It is the four losers, Trip, Georgia, Stephan, and Alder who are present here, May what do you think of those losers present here for the competition as they should know they would lose?"

May smiled and said "Let them lose, we can get satisfaction from their loss and laugh at them. I invited some six losers, Drew, Harley, Tyson, Morrison, Katie, and Kelly to compete in this competition so that I can get pleasure from them losing and laugh hard. It looks like Wallace is part of the loser group." May saw that Wallace was present with Drew, Harley, Tyson, Morrison, Katie, and Kelly.

Drew heard what May said and then said "Come on Harley, we need to confront May!" and Harley responded with "Yes, we need revenge!". Drew and Harley walked rapidly and then came in front of the group of traitors and May laughed on seeing Drew and Harley.

Drew shouted "You are intoxicated by your victories. Might is not everything, May!" and May was laughing hard on hearing what Drew said to her. May then said, smirking "Strength is everything, Drew! I am strong and my friends are strong so that is why we can acheive our goals!"

Dawn then came to Drew and said "You are a loser coordinator, instead of replying, think of the privilege we gave you to allow you to May. May is right in what she says but you are just too idealistlic by saying strength is not everything and that is verry funny!" Dawn then was laughing at Drew. Harley then remarked "May and Dawn, you have changed to think only strength matters! Next, you would say ends justify the means?".

May then said to Drew and Harley "Listen Drew and Harley, strength is everything and so we have to do anything possible to become stronger. Sticking to idealistic notions will not bring strength, you all are too funny as are too weak to be even a small threat to me! You are just a bunch of jokers!"

Koga was annoyed at seeing May spread her notions around, and then Koga went rapidly and punched May which made her fly across the room and land on the battlefield that had no one. May then saw Goh and Chloe come in between her and Koga and Goh said "You loser! Yes, you, you loser! You are nothing to us!"

Sabrina then said "I can crush you with my Psychic Pokemons!" and Goh smirked "Not before my Pokemons come and destroy you and so such a thing will never happen!". Paul then was furious and sid "You really need to be taken down a peg." and Goh said on hearing that "You are another loser to me. You cannot take me down, I will make you just a part of my winning streak! Why did they come to support you, Drew? Oh yeah, they do fit you: they're equally pitiful and foolish."

Erika then said "Is that for real, Goh? You would just lose to Paul." Goh was then being laughed at hard by the crowd. The very next moment, Erika was slapped hard by Dawn who tried hard to knock her. Chaos followed from there. As panic spread over the battlefield, screams and yells could be heard everywhere.

Rooftop of TPS… About Fifteen Minutes Prior…

Ash discovered himself gazing down at all of the buildings' lights. There didn't appear to be much else to do but wait for his spies to show up. He was silently counting them beneath his breath.

"Ninety-Eight… Ninety-Nine…" He murmured.

"ONE HUNDRED!" A voice cried out.

Ash whirled around and noticed three people standing there. One was significantly shorter than the other, while the other two appeared to be of the same height and gender.

"One Hundred Lights that's quite a lot." The girl said while posing.

"If you're looking to battle we're just as hot!" The man said doing a similar pose.

"To protect the world from devastation."

"To unite our people within our nation!"

"To denounce the evil of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

The girl pointed to the sky. "It's Jessie!"

The man put a blue rose gently under her nose and said quietly. "And James."

The shorter figure said cheerfully. "Annddddd Meowth and that's the name!"

Jessie struck the air. "Putting the traitors down!" James sobbed. "We're the Kanto Spy Agency!" They then collectively leaped and shouted. We're in your face, too! As soon as the song was over, Ash started clapping and laughing out loud. James saluted. "What was that twerp like?"

Ash grinned. "It always gets me," He exclaimed with a smile. "It's nice to see you once more. How's— "Before James could say joyfully, He started. He's doing fantastic, all because of you, twerp! Jessie gave Ash a firm embrace. "It was incredible what you did to improve my performances in Sinnoh!" Missy grinned. I reasoned that you might be able to apply May's strategies even more effectively than He could after witnessing some of them.

Meowth flawlessly performed Ash's secret handshake when He dropped down on one knee. "How are things going, Meowth?"

"Great, you get it? My Pokémon moves have never been more powerful! I appreciate you giving us that instruction, twerp! "He remarked with a smile. Ash gave a single handclap. "I'm happy to hear that you're doing well. I do mean that."

James became grave. "But I don't believe we were invited here only to catch up. What can we do to help, boss?"

Ash made a small smile. Their time of being Rocket's allies has long since passed. On the day Ash won the title, they had left about three years earlier. All of this occurred because Ash wiHed to employ them as spies. He understood that they may be quite helpful given the expertise they had gained from earlier places. But he gave his best spies the respect they earned, unlike Giovanni.

They all received something really unique from Ash. He had recovered Growlie the Growlithe, James' former Pokémon, for him. He later gave James a fire stone, which allowed Growlithe to evolve. It was fascinating and touching to see James reunited with the Pokémon He first encountered. The two were still together when Growlie changed a short while later.

Ash knew that he didn't always require his top spies. When they weren't on missions, He told Jessie and the others to live their lives and paid them handsomely. He gave Jessie insider fighting strategies so He might triumph in competitions in Sinnoh and other places. Although He was known professionally as Jessilina, her admirers referred to her as Jessilina the Great. When Ash had helped her get to where He is now, He had also been moved to tears. James was busy collecting Gym Badges while the group was exploring the Kanto Region.

The last person to receive a gift was Meowth. It was a Meowth Z-Crystal, which made it unique. But it wasn't the case. James and Jessie received Z-Rings from Ash so that Meowth could perform Z-Moves. In order to help Meowth grow stronger, faster, and more powerful, He also took him in for a month and provided him special training sessions against his most formidable Pokémon. Meowth entered somewhat powerful, but he left a powerhouse. Meowth joined in James' gym battles as well as Jessie's competitions, and with their Z-Moves, they were virtually unbeatable.

Overall, Ash was kind to them and they were kind to him. Even though Ash didn't always need their assistance, they were always there as soon as He did. They were his best spies, and he only used them for crucial missions.

"Since the moment you realised I was still alive, you have all been pestering me for the task. You are aware of the mission." Jessie's eyes slightly widened. " You... you mean?" Ash grinned while giving a nod. "Yes, it is time to act to stop the traitors."

James gave a knuckle snap. "It's time. I've been eager to attack them! The tiny Goh twerp has already taken a beating from me twice, but I think I should give it one more go just to be safe."

Ash gave a nod. "James, why don't you spy on Chloe, Goh, and Serena in that case? I suppose it makes sense because those three are so near to one another."

James grimaced. "I observed the Goh twerp trying to grab the Chloe twerpette's behind. I wish I had missed seeing that at all."

Ash turned to face Jessie. " Jessilina the Great" Jessie gave a big grin at the moniker. "The douchebag squad should work, in my opinion. That would be Cilan, Brock, Dawn, and May." Jessie made a remark. "Aren't the other person and the Red-haired twerp a pair as well? Should I look at the four plus one?" Ash gave a nod. "Forgot about the youngster. Do it now."

He gave Meowth a glance. "Okay, Meowth—are you prepared for that? I have the most difficult task for you." Meowth nodded and appeared to be ready. He might believe what He was saying as He said, "You need to study Professor Oak, the rest, and..." "... my mother and Misty's sisters." Meowth's mouth sprang open in shock. "Wow, twerp You can't possibly believe that your mother—"

Ash had a distant expression on her face. "I kept returning to that day, wondering why my mother did not stop what they were doing or mourn me. Why is this and why is that? Why?" He turned to face Meowth. "I have no idea what you'll discover, but anything today is relevant. I don't care if you learn about weaknesses, battle information, or knowledge about the treachery. There is valuable knowledge everywhere."

Jessie gave a nod. "You must be aware of this, twerp. It might take some time."

Meowth gave a nod. "I must travel to Kanto to speak with the twerps' mother." James said at once. "Not too far from there is my Viridian Gym battle!" He gave Meowth a glance. "Perhaps I'll come with you and help you out!" Ash gave a nod. "Take whatsoever action you two desire! But it would be fantastic if you could do everything in a week."

Then He heard a disturbance start below her. What was happening there, exactly? Fearing the worst, Ash turned aside and froze for a second. He spoke as soon as he recovered. He froze when he realised that all three of the former Rocket members had completely left the roof. "Well, the best of luc—" He quietly laughed. 'Same old Rocket,' He reflected.

TPS Fourth Floor… Battlefield…

It was a madhouse on the floor. Being the first of many had merely begun a pattern when Iris delivered the first blow. Paul was frantically striving to stop a furious Koga from tearing Goh to pieces. Goh was being yelled at by Koga. "HUH!? DO YOU WANT TO GO, LITTLE MAN? GOT TO CHANGE YOUR DIAPERS FIRST?"

Goh screamed back while attempting to rush Koga. "Let's Move! Or do you need to first buy extra hair gel?"

Sabrina was presently strangling Dawn on the ground as May and Cilan were both perched on her arms. Erika was still working to recover from the punch May had fired at her. The chaos had turned the party into a battle house, and other people were fighting and punching them other.

"Enough!" said a voice. The space went cold. More than anybody else in the room, all the elites grew noticeably paler in response to the voice because they recognised its owner. With surprised expressions on their faces, the crowd started to part abruptly to make room. A young man was there, facing the throng and standing in front of a doorway. Instead of a dress suit, he was donning his customary red vest and red cap. Everyone could see the brown spikes in his hair. He was dressed in dark jeans and red shoes.

He moved carefully through the crowd, focusing only on one specific conflict. The crowd kept separating for the man. When his father was restraining him, Max whimpered, "Dad... who is that?" However, his father remained silent as he approached Koga and Goh and gave them both a scrutinising look. He then turned to face Sabrina and Erika, both of whom appeared guilty. When He caught Paul's attention, he surrendered by raising his hands.

He spoke at last. I had high expectations for everyone of you. He shook her head and started to go on. Koga bit his lip tensely, and Paul appeared to be at fault. Sabrina refused to look anyone in the eye, and Erika clenched her teeth tightly. Apart than that, everything appeared regular, but of course Goh, being Goh, spoke up. "Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing here?"

The man went cold. He gently muttered as He slowly turned around. "I am merely a trainer." Before Goh could say anything, He continued to walk. "All you do is talk! Nothing but bluster over here, with no supporting evidence! Why in the world should we pay attention to your miserable ass?"

Goh anticipated support from others, but for some reason the man he had just finished battling seemed much more terrified than before. Goh nearly peed himself when he turned around. He was only a few inches away and directly in his direction.

"Let's clarify this now. You ought to be imprisoned in this place along with your pals. You made an attempt to attack someone else by engaging in combat. You could spend that much time behind bars and still make it to the competition. You show off because you fight merely for the purpose of fighting. Instead than trying to break up fights, you start them. You are therefore neither an asset nor a liability. In general... I only have one piece of information." He gave a slow nod before speaking as softly as possible.

"You loser, you." The man's candour with Goh caused everyone to gasp. Naturally, by this time Goh's face was as red as a tomato. Chloe, who had made the decision to stand up for her partner, screamed as he narrowed her eyes. "Hey! Don't speak out! Goh has three times as much training as you do!"

The man grinned. "Nobody cares a flying fuck about your input, looks-for-brains. Get the fuck out of here and go help someone else." The man spun around on him with a finger in his face and anxiety in her eyes as Koga stifled a chuckle. "Keep your trap closed; we have much to talk about afterwards." Koga first became pale, then instantly turned brilliant red.

"You've got it wrong! If you defeat me in a fight, I'll be the first to confess it! If I triumph, you follow suit!" Goh brazenly remarked. This girl was not going to do it, not ever! But to his astonishment, the trainer didn't act in that way. Her eyes nearly had a gleam in them as He spoke. "I agree," He then moved to the side farthest from Goh, who hesitantly picked the side that was closest to him and whose confidence was not as high as it had been only a few moments earlier.

Now everyone had come around the field of combat to witness the one shrimpy man in a suit battle the one man not in a suit. A man had made the decision to ascend the podium and take the role of referee. "There are two competitors engaged in this contest. Obviously one on one, no replacements. Items are not allowed. Please announce your name and title, challengers! "He addressed Goh first, who spoke eloquently as he raised his flag.

He bragged, "Goh, and Future Victor of ther Tournament!" While others scoffed at the boy's assurance, Chloe applauded. Goh overlooked the fact that many of those people watching were probably his rivals.

He lifted his flag to the other challenger, who remained silent, and asked, "And you?" Before yelling again, the referee waited impatiently. "Sir? Could you please say your name?"

The contestant spoke subtly. In response to the challenger's voice, the referee said. "I'm sorry. Can you please say that louder? for the benefit of us all?" The man was silent for a moment before speaking quietly.

"Red... Kanto Champion."

The stunned crowd let out a loud gasp. Goh, on the other hand, was a case. He had previously avoided taking a leak. That was not true at this time. At this time, all of his skin was utterly pale, save for the yellow liquid that was dripping down one of his pant legs. He didn't even twitch. What just happened?

'I know I'm going to enjoy this' Ash pondered as a shady grin covered his face. 'Very enjoyable indeed.'
