As Ash was lying down on his bed and thinking about his failures as a trainer and as a person to those who are close to him, he heard a bell ring. Ash was not interested in opening the door as he disliked being around people after the incident with Dawn and Serena. Ash heard the door open after some time and he heard his mother say "Misty has come, come to greet her!". Ash was surprised to hear that Misty came as she had her career to pursue instead of visiting a failure like him. Ash then got up from his bed and then left his room. Ash then climbed down the stairs and then reached the hall and saw Misty smile at him and Ash weakly smiled at her.

"Ash, it is so long since we last met! How are you doing?" Misty beamed and said. Ash knew that Misty was an Elite Four and he was a failure of a trainer but he was close only with Misty, Max, and his Alola classmates after the incident and so he would give her an answer.

"I am doing fine." Ash said this while feeling sad for himself.

"Ash, you look sad! Is anything the issue?" Misty asked concerned for Ash as she heard the sad tone of his voice when he answered the question.

"Nothing much! You are an Elite Four member along with Lorelei, Bruno, Giovanni of the megaregion combining Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh and Lance is the Champion of the megaregion. You have so much in your life unlike me." Ash said in a sad tone as he felt bad that he acheived only titles which had very less prestige.

"You can be a Frontier Brain and you are the Champion of Alola and Orange Island! So many young children in Alola look up to you." Misty smiled and said to Ash who nodded while hearing that but he already knew that but he felt those titles were not worth much and he proved to be a loser in the Leagues.

"But those titles do not mean much! I have lost many Pokemon Leagues and so I am a weak trainer." Ash said what he felt about himself as he felt jaded about the competitions as he did not win the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos Leagues.

"My son has such low self esteem! Please make my son to be confident about himself, Misty!" Delia pleaded to Misty who nodded at her and then looked at Ash with concern that he had such low self esteem. Misty was used to Ash who was very confident and bold when he was competing when he was younger in Kanto, Orange Islands, and Johto and to see that Ash has changed so much to have very low self esteem about himself made Misty sad for Ash.

"Yes, Delia, I will help Ash! Ash, I would like to travel with you and I came here to ask to travel with you!" Misty smiled and said to Ash who frowned upon hearing the word travelling. Ash did not want to meet with Dawn or Serena after the incident with them and he disliked travelling for one of the reason that he could encounter Dawn or Serena.

"Misty, an Elite Four member like you does not deserve to travel with a weak trainer like me when you deserve so much more." Ash said as he felt Misty as an Elite Four member deserves so much more than to travel with him who was a failure of a trainer after having lost so many Leagues.

"You deserve so much Ash as you actually are a good person. You are also a strong trainer having managed to com to the top ranks in so many Leagues. We will be travelling." Misty said to Ash who then nodded at Misty who insisted to travel with him and he wanted Misty to not be disappointed and so he agreed to travel with her.

"I will pack your bag, Ash! Misty, for your assistance to me, I thank you a lot!" Delia smiled and said to Misty who smiled back at her happy to see Ash's mother, Delia being happy. Ash's mother, Delia felt sad after seeing her son lose confidence and to see the possibility that Ash could gain confidence made Delia to be happy for her son.

Delia then ran to the stairs and then ran and climbed the stairs. Delia then reached the corridor and Delia then ran and then reached Ash's room. Delia then went and took Ash's bag and then packed the things in Ash's bag like his water bottles, Pokedex, Pokeballs, money and then Delia then left his room. Delia then climbed down the stairs and then reached the hall. Delia then went to Ash with the bag and then gave Ash the bag and Ash took the bag from Delia and said "Thank You!" to Delia who smiled at Ash.

"Goodbye, Mom!" Ash said and Delia smiled.

"Goodbye, Delia!" Misty said and Delia smiled.

"We would go to the Laboratory and take Pikachu." Misty said and Ash nodded. Ash and Misty got up and then went to the door and Misty opened the door and Ash and Misty left the house and then Misty closed the door. Ash and Misty walked and then left the house. Ash and Misty ran to the Laboratory which was down the road while looking at Pallet Town which had blue sky and a bright sun and Ash and Misty soon arrived at the Laboratory and then Ash and Misty ran to the ranch.

Ash and Misty soon reached the ranch and then Pikachu ran and jumped to sit on Misty's shoulder and Misty smiled at Pikachu who smiled back at Misty. Ash and Misty saw Gary approach them and Gary said what Ash felt he would detest "Misty, Ash is a disgrace! Do not go with Ash!"

"Ash is a good person, I will travel with him." Misty said and Ash and Misty ran and then left the ranch and then ran and then left the Laboratory. Ash and Misty ran while looking at Pallet Town which had blue sky and a bright sun and then reached the new port of Pallet Town.

Ash and Misty walked to a sign which said "Obsidian City, Hisui" and Ash was confused as to why there was a ship which would go to Hisui when Hisui no longer exists. Ash then asked Misty "Hisui no longer exists so why is there a ship which would go to Hisui?"

"The Celestica People of Sinnoh decided to have their own region separate from Sinnoh and then established their own cities in Sinnoh while still calling the cities as part of Hisui. We are going there so we can be stronger trainers." Misty said and Ash nodded while they went and then climbed the stairs and boarded the ship. Misty paid money for two tickets and got the tickets.
