Chapter 27
Ash and Lillie have finished chatting with Delia and Adam about the match, and then they are asked by Elena to attend the Gym Leader meeting, because Ash is the one that manages to beat Leon and now with the match a few hours ago, Lillie also beat Leon in some way.
Once they arrive at the Battle Tower, a place where they are holding a meeting, they find that the Gym Leaders, Elena, Leon, and Sonia are already there waiting for them. Once Ash and Lillie take their seats, Nessa decides to be the first one to say, "You know, the match with the two of you against Leon and Elena is very interesting. It sure is exciting to see that kind of match again."
"Indeed, you two are really strong, we really need to catch up to you if we want to defeat both of you some time." Raihan says.
"If you never give up until it is over, I am sure that you can beat us someday. We have been training hard ever since the beginning of my journey, back then I was just an amateur who wasn't able to beat anyone with Pikachu."
"Very modest indeed." Sonia says, "No wonder Chairman Rose would like to endorse you to the match. But I think Elena has called us here for some reason, right?"
Elena says, "Of course, I am sure that a lot of you remember that a year ago, our father Chairman Rose has been arrested for bringing out the Darkest Day, right?"
"Of course, I remember that Dynamax Pokemon are running wild in our stadiums, and only Spikemuth wasn't affected." Bede says as he stares at Marnie, who shrugs and says, "Can't blame me since we don't have that big of a gym to perform Dynamax."
"Now there is no need to fight." Ash says as he stops the two of them, Elena continues, "But being the children of Chairman Rose, we don't believe that he would do such thing, so along with Ash and Lillie, we have been investigating this for a while, and it turns out that our father and his secretary wasn't even in Hammerlocke Labs, to begin with."
"You mean that old bloke was innocent this whole time?" Peony asks, and Ash frowns, since his uncle Peony hasn't forgiven his grandparents for showing affection more to Rose and his mother.
"Of course, Uncle Peony." Lillie says, "Using the resources of RPA company and Macro Cosmos Company, we finally get to see who the imposters are."
As the other gym leaders are looking at them with surprise, one of the Electric Type Gym Leader, Boltera, says, "And who might be the imposters that would ruin our beloved Chairman Rose?"
"That will be the evil criminal group known as Team Rocket. If you don't know, there are two people in this particular group, Jessie and James. Both of them have been stalking me in hopes of stealing my Pikachu for their boss."
"I think I have heard of it." Leon says, "Those two people are nothing more than idiots who will never give up doing something annoying."
"Yeah, and they were able to disguise themselves so that we won't be noticing them. It turns out that they are asked by Giovanni to pretend as Chairman Rose and Oleana to create the Darkest Day, the reason behind it is because they want to capture Eternatus to make Team Rocket strong."
"HOW...DARE...THEY..." Allister says with a growl, and some gym leaders are shivering at the tone Allister gives out.
Bea says, "Calm down, Allister. We are as angry as you. Seeing our father being arrested like that..."
"But you said about the proof, may I ask where is it?" Sonia asks as Elena takes out two pictures. "We have been searching for many security cameras and we have been trying to make those pictures clear and understanding, eventually after days of hard work, we finally get to see these pictures."
"Not to mention, they were also present when we managed to capture the Eternatus." Ash says, "They try to steal the Pokeball, but we manage to blast them away and get the Pokeball back. Eternatus is still here."
Ash takes out the Pokeball that contains the Eternatus, and Melony asks, "Is it dangerous for you to keep holding the Darkest Day like that?"
"Don't worry, Eternatus is not hostile towards us because of our Mythical friend." Ash says, "But now that is not the main focus."
"Indeed, what are we going to do to save Dad from the jail? I don't think that it is enough evidence to prove that Dad is innocent." Sandy says.
"That is why we are having this meeting." Elena says. "Team Rocket has been creating bases throughout the regions, due to those two people that keep stalking my cousin. It will be a matter of time they would get into the Galar Region to set up their bases as well."
"We can't let that happen. Galar is our home and we are not going to let evil likes like them ruin it." Kabu says as the others nod in agreement.
At the same time, Jessie and James are on top of the roof as they are eavesdropping on their conversation, "Did we hear it right, the Gym Leaders of Galar are going to destroy us Team Rocket..." James says with a little fearful tone.
"I don't care about that, how dare they call me an idiot. No one calls me that and gets away with it!" Jessie growls in anger.
"Quiet, it seems that the former Champion is going to say something." Meowth says as they keep listening.
Leon says, "So Ash, you know that those three are stalking you, right? Does that mean they are probably here in this building?"
Ash says, "It might be a possibility, after all, knowing them, they are still trying to find any chance to take my Pikachu away. And they might be hearing about our conversation as well."
This causes the Galar Region to be in a ruckus, and the trio who is hearing this is also shocked that the twerp knows that they are here.
"Maybe after this meeting, they might be telling their boss about what we have said throughout the meeting, which will be a disadvantage for us. But as long as they aren't able to communicate with their boss, everything will be fine for us."
"And how are you going to do that, since we are not sure where they are hiding." Avery asks while folding his arms.
"We have only said about destroying Team Rocket, but we haven't said how. They are not going to hear our plans, and because Gabena has done something first."
While Team Rocket is listening to their conversation, what they don't know is that Gabena is hiding behind them as after a short amount of time, the Future Sight has been activated and Team Rocket is blasting off again.
As they hear the explosion, Klara says, "Wh-what was that?"
"Gabena seems to find where they are hiding and she blasts them off again, so we don't need to worry about them hearing our plans." Ash says.
"Now before they come back, let's quickly discuss our plan." Ash says as they start to talk about what they are going to do in order to counter Team Rocket, once it is done, nobody has objections to the plan, but before that, they all go back to their gyms as they are going to train some more. And for Ash and Lillie, they just go back to their friends and things aren't going to end well for them.
After what seems to be an annoying afternoon being with Ash's travel companions in the past as well as Lillie's cousins, Ash and Lillie are now in Ash's room and Lillie groans, "I can't believe that our friends can be that frustrating."
"I agree with you, but you just beat Misty, May, Dawn and Iris' Pokemon with ease. I've never thought that you could be so ruthless in Pokemon Battles, though." Ash says with a playful chuckle.
"Yeah, about that. Are you sure that they've traveled with you during your journeys? Because I would expect them to at least be good enough to give us a challenge." Lillie says and it causes Ash to chuckle a little.
"Come on now, Love. You have overpowered them in every aspect and you have better Pokemon than theirs, I mean...we have better Pokemon than theirs since we share our Pokemon." Ash says as Lillie chuckles at the statement. "But still, I am sorry that they are a bit rude to you."
"Are you sure it is only a bit?" Lillie raises an eyebrow and Ash sighs with a little bit of shame, "You get the point, but I never thought that they would act like that towards you."
Ash remembers that the girls have been glaring at Lillie and he could hear them insulting her, if it weren't for the fact that he is a prince of Galar and he has to behave in front of the crowd, they were already being hit by the Aura Weapons that Ash has been training hard with. "I am sorry for the behavior."
"It's fine. In fact, it is better than those guys who have been trying to hit on me." Lillie says as Ash remembers how he kicked some male trainer's butts because they are trying to flirt at Lillie.
"They are lucky that they have a heart pulse right now. I really don't like those lustful eyes that are hitting on you and I can't believe that you are able to stop me from breaking their necks." Ash says.
"That's because you are a prince, your uncle is in jail and I don't want you to as well." Lillie says.
Ash smiles as he pins Lillie onto the bed and he starts to kiss at her neck, causing her to moan a little. "But did you notice that Amber is acting weirdly when she is close to Gary? I mean...she usually doesn't act like that."
"I see what you mean." Lillie says. "Since they weren't able to hurt us, so they take their frustrations on Gary instead, but Amber is the one that protects him and she also threatens them as well. I think she might have fallen in love with Gary."
"Then we must find a way to hook them up." Ash chuckles as he starts to take off Lillie's shirt. "So what are you planning to do to Team Rocket?" Lillie asks as she is enjoying the pleasure that Ash is nibbling her neck. Ash sucks a little and then says, "I will think about it tomorrow. Right now I am going to have some fun."
"The same fun that those girls won't be able to get." Lillie says as she also gets Ash's shirt off. Then they start to touch each other as Ash is now ravishing her breast and then his fingers go towards her skirt.
At the same time when Ash and Lillie are making out, Misty and the others are still angry at the fact that Lillie is the one that takes Ash's heart, they are now thinking about how to get Ash away from the bitch and makes him theirs. But it won't be easy since they know that Lillie is also capable of doing those weapons like things and they don't want to get hurt from that.
Now this is the start of the arc that is about the war against Team Rocket. Ash and Lillie are gathering help from the Galar Region's Gym Leaders to fight them. I hope you like it.
