Chapter 3

Ash's journey through Hoenn is amusing, he has two new travel companions as well as an old friend who decides to travel with him again. There are May, who wants to be a Coordinator, Max, her brother who isn't a trainer yet, and finally Brock, his first travel companion who is also the Pewter Gym Leader.

Every Sunday, Ash and Lillie will meet each other secretly without the others spotting them. And during the time they are together, they have been sewing some clothes, cooking some food, or even dance with each other. They all have a wonderful time together while Arceus and Pikachu watching them happily.

But the constant disappearance is noticed by May, Max and Brock. Since he always disappears in Sundays and when he came back, he has a smile on his face that looks really creepy to them. Until it is after the Sootopolis Gym, May says, "I think we should find out what he is doing in Sundays, since this is very weird."

"Are you sure it is a good idea?" Max asks as they start to stalk their friend once Sunday arrives.

"Quiet, Max. He would hear you." May says.

"You two should shut up, here comes Ash." Brock says as they see how Ash is talking to Pikachu. "What is he saying?" May asks.

"I don't know, we can't hear anything since he is too far from our hearing range." Brock says.

"I still don't think it is a good idea, if Ash catches us then we will be doomed." Max says.

"Ash will catch us if you continue talking like that." May scolds him.

"Brock, how did she talked to us into this?" Max whispers to him.

"Well, Ash has been disappearing every Sunday, and May and I want to know what As has been doing those times that makes him so happy." Brock says.

"This is not going to end well." Max sighs.

"Shut up, Max, or you are the one that is not going to end well." May threatens again.

"Brock, please talks some sense into her." Max begs Brock, but Brock just says, "Sorry Max, but I am curious as well."

"You two are hopeless, what Ash does every time he disappears is his business, not ours." Max says angrily.

"But we are his friends and we have the right to know what he's doing." May retorts.

"We don't have the right, you just have a creepy crush on Ash." Max says with a devious smile, and it causes May trying to strangle her brother.

"Just please be quiet." Brock pleads, but then Ash says, "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt over there."

As Pikachu did, then the bush is gone as three people are revealed, Ash suddenly turns into a dark face that even scares the Gyarados.

"We can explain...Ash..." May says while sweating.

"Why are you following me?" Ash asks in a cold voice that even makes Glalie shiver.

"Well, we are just curious, since you always disappear every Sundays." Ash glares at Max since he is the one that says it. "Don't look at me like that, it is May's idea."

"Is that so?" Ash turns to May, who is cowering in fear. "Do not follow me." Ash says in an emotionless tone as Pikachu also agrees. May was about to cry, but she can't because she is scared. Brock tries to calm the situation and says, "Easy there, Ash. We're just worried about you, that's all. Since you were different now compared to Johto."

"It is true that I am different from now, but that doesn't mean that you can invade my privacy. Now don't worry about me and stop getting into my business." Ash says as he tries to leave, but Brock grabs his hand and says, "Ash, this isn't you. Why are you so worked up with this? Is it because of the upcoming League?"

"It has nothing to do with it." Ash says. "Then why are you hiding it from us?" Brock tries to pry some more, and it is getting on Ash's nerves.

Suddenly, Ash easily lets go of his arm and then much to his surprise, he shoots out a blast that causes Brock to fall down. "Brock..." May and Max are shocked, but Ash just yells, "NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER BOTHER ME AGAIN. WHAT I AM DOING IS MY BUSINESS AND MY BUSINESS ALONE, AM I CLEAR?"

The others just nod in fear, including Brock, then Ash leaves with Pikachu, without seeing them again. "Arceus, what did I just do to him...I know that I am angry that they do this...but I never meant to hurt him..."

Arceus says, "That was your Aura. You see, you are special, but I can't tell you more until later."

"How much later?" Ash asks.

"You'll wait and see." Arceus says. After meeting Lillie, he cries in her arms as he told her that he accidentally injured his best friend Brock. Lillie comforts him and then doing some stuff to make him feel better. And it works, just then, Lillie shows Ash an egg, much to his surprise.

"Where did you get that egg?" Ash asks.

"Adam gave it to me." Lillie smiles, "I have been trying to hatch it after I told them how I get cured of my fear."

"I see." Ash says. "And what do you think is in the egg?"

"I don't know. But I am going to call her Snowy, since it is white and it has flowers that looks like Snowflakes." Lillie says with a smile. "And I was wondering if you can be a dad for this egg here?"

Ash says, "Of course, it is my pleasure. I can show you how to hatch it if you want to."

Lillie smiles back, as they have nothing to do, they suddenly see a helicopter coming towards them. "What was that?"

"That is the Macro Cosmos Company's Logo...what is it doing here?" Ash asks in surprise.

But just as the helicopter arrives in front of them, a man walks out of it and he says, "You sure are hard to find."

Ash gasps as the one in front of him is no other than his uncle Chairman Rose. "Uncle Rose...is that really you?" Ash feels a little emotional as he hugs his uncle, much to others' surprise.

"Ash? You know him and what is going on here?" Lillie asks in confusion.

"Lillie, this is my uncle from my mother's side, he is also the head of the biggest cooperation in Galar Region." He turns to Rose and asks, "But how do you find me here and what are you doing here?"

Rose smiles and says, "I saw your winning of the Johto League, so I contacted Delia and she said that you are going to compete in the Hoenn League. So I decide to use my sources to find you. And I see you have a girlfriend."

"I know, her name is Lillie Aether. But we tend to keep our relationship a secret even to our families. We just don't want to get too much problems once the news spread out." Ash says with a little beg.

Rose says, "But that would be easier for the upcoming task. Ash, Lillie. I have an offer for you."

"What is it?" Ash asks, and he gives them each an endorsement. "These are the endorsements from our Champion Leon. He gave me two of them so that they can enter the Galar League. Now that you two are here, I wish that you two can partake the league over there once your Hoenn League is completed."

"Is that so? Uncle?" Ash says, "Why can't we do it now? I am sure that we are able to go there."

"That's because our league is different from the other leagues, if you want to enter the Galar League, you have to attend the open ceremony in the Motostoke City. Which won't be happening until a month later." Rose says. "But I am sure you will attend it, right?"

"We will try our best." Ash and Lillie say in union, and Rose smiles, "Good, now that my work here is done, I should be heading back to my office."

Once the Chairman leaves, Arceus says, "So you got an endorsement to the Galar League, that sure is wonderful news."

"I know." Ash says, "And I can't wait to see what Galar has to offer when it is done."

"But we still have our work to do, so if we have to go there, we can only do it in Sunday..." Lillie frowns.

Arceus says, "That won't be a problem. I am sure that I can Teleport you to the Galar Region if you want." Arceus says as the two of them thank the Alpha Pokemon. "But in return, I want you to do something for me."

"And what is it? Arceus?" Ash asks.

"I want you to tell me everything about a Company and how it works." Arceus says.

Ash and Lillie look at each other and they giggle a little. "Sure, it is not a big deal." Ash says.

"But something tells me that there are more..." Lillie mutters.

After the explanation, Arceus requests them to make a company on their own, which causes them to get pale. "But establishing a company is not an easy walk in the park. It needs a lot of money, staff and even the grounds, not to mention that we keep our relationship a secret, how are we going to do it without the others noticing us as the presidents?"

"You don't need to worry about that, remember who I am? I can help you with it. But you'll have to do the easy part on your own." Arceus says.

"Now I think I am going to regret this..." Lillie frowns, but Ash says, "Don't worry, Lillie. We will like to have a great challenge." Ash says back.


The two of them are thinking of how the company will go and the possible places to establish, not to mention about the type of company they are going to set up. All of them are brainstorming and it is until an hour that the two of them are exhausted. But the way that both of them are talking will make others seem like they are a happy couple who are thinking of raising a family.

Happy times left very quick as Ash decides to go back to others while Lillie is going back to Aether Foundation.

Once they are back, Ash is being glared by Brock, but Ash just smiles and says, "Brock, I am sorry, since I didn't know what happened to me."

This causes confusion to the others and then Brock asks, "You didn't know how you attacked me?"

Ash shakes his head and says, "I was just angry that you tried to invade my privacy, but I never once tried to hurt you guys. I don't understand...but it seems like I have some special powers inside me."

Max says, "You mean, just like those superheroes we saw in those comic books?"

Ash says, "Maybe, but still. I know that you are curious of what I was doing in Sundays, but people have privacy and you guys won't want me to invade yours as well, right? So please understand."

The three people can only sigh and reluctantly agree, but they aren't going to let it go, but by thinking what Ash would do to them with his new powers, then they are shivering.


Here is a new chapter, and this time I made some interesting stuff, Ash didn't know about Aura until he arrives at the Rota Kingdom. But I still hope you like this chapter.
