Chapter 20
Ash manages to get all 18 types of the Z Crystals with him, and they are now back to the Kanto Region, Kristen wanted to go with them to the Kanto Region, but because of her mother's orders with other works that she can't go, and it causes the other girls in the group to be relieved as they don't want another girl steal their chances of being with Ash.
"Why did we leave Ash at home again?" May asks as they are now inside the Professor Oak's Lab.
"Easy, remember? Ash volunteers to help his mother in cleaning the house and the farmland behind the house." Brock says.
"But is it just me, or does I think that Ash has been so thoughtful towards his mother? I mean, he used to travel a lot and leaves her at home alone..." Tracy says.
"Maybe it has something to do with Ms. Ketchum's sadness?" Cilan asks, "Since we found that she has been crying a lot of times and Ash is there to comfort her along with Professor Oak and Professor Mohn."
"Or maybe it has something to do with the throne of the Galar Region's royal blood?" Max asks, and it causes the four girls to smile wildly.
They were shocked when Delia invites them to the coronation to the Galar Region's throne, and they heard that Ash didn't know about this as Delia is going to tell him herself. The shocked has turned into glee and bliss, since it is the perfect opportunity to show their feelings towards Ash that even a clueless boy like him would notice their advancement.
Brock notices the smile of the four girls as he sighed, their hearts would be crushed if they learned that Ash is already taken, by someone they didn't even know no less. He also shivers if they knew the whole truth, as it is going to be a hell.
"Not that I could blame Ash for falling for her, she has all the things that the four of them can offer and much, much more." Brock thinks as he is happy for him, as he only met Lillie once and he knows that she was more beautiful and kind towards Ash, and Brock can only respect him or else he might be facing hell from Ash instead. Just by thinking that, he can feel the pain arises again, and he doesn't want it to continue anymore.
Right now Ash is inside the house with Delia as the others are at Professor Oak's Lab training with their Pokemon. Delia gets a letter from the Corviknight as she reads it, and then she turns to Ash and says, "Ash, I have some news that I need to tell you."
Ash finishes cleaning the table and he throws the rag to Mimey and he asks, "What is it? Mom?"
Delia takes a deep breath and says, "Do you remember your Grandfather Alexander Ketchum?"
"I remember him from Grandma Palermo, but I haven't seen him for a long time. Why do you ask?"
Delia frowns, "He is going to retire as the King of the Galar Region and he is going to give me the throne."
This causes him to get surprised, as Pikachu and Arceus are also shocked at the loud voice. "What? Why? And since when did he become a King and what is the Galar Region?"
Delia says, "I know you have a lot of questions. But the Galar Region is close to the Kalos Region with only a sea faraway. And you see, while your father is from the Rota Kingdom, I was actually from the Galar Region and I was raised by my mother in Kalos."
"No way...so there is a new region that I have never traveled before?" Ash asks in shock, but deep down inside, he frowns as he knows about the region, as he is also helping his cousins about the arrest of Chairman Rose. "But you mean that Grandpa is going to retire? Why?"
"Because he is old." Delia frowns. "And his body is weaker day after day. Not only that, the president of the Macro Cosmos, Chairman Rose has been arrested for bringing out the Darkest Day, so that he can't handle the Galar Region anymore."
"I see..." Ash says with a frown, the darkest day was summoned by Team Rocket, who disguises themselves as Rose and Oleana. It pains them to know that with the resources of both RPA and the Macro Cosmos, they still can't find any evidences to prove that Rose is innocent. They also don't have any video footage as well.
"So what are we going to do? Are we going to move there?" Ash asks as she nods. "But what about Dad? Isn't that we staying in Kanto because we feel that he will return?"
Delia sighs and says, "I know. But I really miss him, I don't know what I have done to make him not return..." She is about to form tears and Ash hugs her. He says, "Mom, I am sure that Dad didn't hate you. I think he is afraid that you will be angry at him for leaving us too long."
Delia quickly says, "I won't hate him, he should know about that. I love him so much that I can't bear being angry at him, what if he really is gone..."
"Mom, I am sure that he is still alive, don't worry about it. I believe in my dad." Ash says and he decides to tell this to Dad later. But then after comforting his mother, he decides to tell the news to Professor Oak and Mohn, not to mention Lillie as well.
"So what are we doing again?" Amber asks as she is helping with the Aether Foundation along with her family. Kristen snickers and says, "You have to get used to it, since you won't need to go to that evil group again."
"Yeah, you force me to become their member because I was the only one that couldn't use Aura." Amber mutters, "But at least that I didn't get beaten by a nobody."
"Ash is not a nobody, he is the most handsome and talented trainer that I have ever seen. And it was a tie, I didn't lose."
"Yeah, say that to yourself. I watched that a lot of times and I can't help but feel sorry for you to be beaten by Adam's son." Amber says, but then she freezes as she knows that she accidentally reveal the secret.
"Damn it...Ash and Lillie are going to kill me..." Amber thinks.
"THAT KID IS ADAM'S SON?" The crew are shocked and then Adam and Ruka walk inside. Adam knows that she accidentally spills the beans, so he decides to play with her for a while. He says, "So Amber, you met my son huh? I am curious of how do you meet him?"
Amber notices how Adam is going to save her, so she says, "Let's say that he saved me from ever being a Team Rocket member again and he decides to be my teacher for using Aura."
Kristen yells, "You have him teaching you Aura? And I had to be taught by Mom and you got the most handsome teacher to teach you? Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you!"
"Because I am older than you." Amber says, unfazed at Kristen's voice.
"And why didn't you introduce your son to me? I could have start seducing him when he was younger." Kristen turns to Adam with a glare.
Adam says with a frown, "Because I have not seen him ever since I got here. Not that I know what he is going on now."
"And you are a bad whore..." Amber mutters, but she knows that Lillie didn't tell her about the relationship of her and Ash. But she can't believe that her sister has a crush on Ash as well.
"At least I have descent taste in men." Kristen retorts.
Gladion just mutters, "What is special about him anyways? To make you fall in love with him?"
"Oh please, if you are there, you will know that he is a prince." Kristen says dreamily which causes Amber to look at her in disgust.
Ash is sitting at the hidden spot with Lillie approaching him. Lillie says, "It sure has been days when we get back here."
"I know." Ash says. "Lillie, I have some interesting news to tell you. I am going to be a Prince."
"You already are my prince, Ash." Lillie giggles, "But do you mean that you are actually a royalty?"
"Yeah, turns out my Mom isn't from the Kalos but from Galar. Grandma Palermo is the one that raises her in the Kalos after she left there." Ash says. "And now that Grandpa is sick, which means that my Mom is the one that ascends the throne."
"Wow...That sounds amazing." Lillie says with a smile. "So who else knows about the truth?"
Ash frowns, "About that, I kind of tell those guys about it. And now they are thinking that they want to be my Princesses." This causes Lillie to get angry and she asks, "Can you give me some reasons why I can't kill them?"
"Because you would be put in jail, and I don't want that to happen. Besides, there will be a ball in the Galar Kingdom and I will want you to be my dance partner."
Lillie's stare softens and she smiles, "Sure, I will like to be your dance partner. But if that's going to happen, then does that mean we are going to reveal our secrets?"
Ash says, "I think I should try telling the others about our secrets, because what we are doing might hurting them in the end. Besides, they are suspecting me as I didn't feel like my old self in their opinion and of course I am not my old self because I have you. But I think we should reveal it boldly."
Lillie says, "You're right. Since I notice that Kristen is lusting over you and the earlier she knows the less pain she will receive."
Just then, they hear the phone ring as they groan again, since the only ones that are able to interrupt them is Ash's cousins, especially Elena. Ash answers the call and says, "Elena? Are there something new?"
"Can you tell me what happened? We heard that you and your family are moving to the Galar Region as the new Queen and the new Prince." Elena asks, "Since when are we royalties?"
Ash says, "Wow, I didn't know that Chairman Rose and Uncle Peony didn't tell you guys about it. But our grandfather is the king and he is going to retire, I guess the news of your father's arrest finally gets into his ears and he feels ashamed?"
Elena says, "This is pretty bad...but maybe it would be perfect."
Lillie asks, "How is that?"
"We can use the power of the Royal Blood to obtain the security cameras that are being held by the government, that way we might be able to find any evidence to free our father." Elena says with a smile.
"That sounds like a great plan." Ash says, after talking for a while, they end the call. Then they smile at each other as they kiss together as the sun goes down into the lake.
Here is another chapter, and I decide to have a little crossover with the Galar Story, Ash is the Prince of Galar, the concept is based from that story and I intend to use it here as well. I hope you like it.
