Chapter 2 Introducing the Family
The plane arrives at the Lumiose City Airport after a long ride from the Kanto Region. Ash is the first one to step outside the plane, with Pikachu hopping on his shoulder.
"We finally arrive at Kalos Region!" Ash yells out, causing the Fletchlings to fly from the trees.
The other siblings along with Aurora come out of the plane as well, and Minami says, "Someone is excited."
"Of course. Being in a new region means that I get to explore some more." Ash says.
Before the Ketchum family and Alexa head inside the building, Ash sees a shadow looming over him, it jumps behinds him and then heads off quickly.
"What is that..." Ash asks in confusion until they hear Aurora's voice. "Ash, hurry up."
"Coming! Mom!" Ash says as he rushes to them.
When they see Alexa just hanging up the phone, Insey asks, "So how is it?"
"I am sorry, since my sister isn't at the gym right now." Alexa replies.
"Aww man..." Ash says with a groan. "I really want to have my battle."
"Don't worry, there is also a gym in Lumiose City." Aurora says. "We can go there once we finished moving."
"Okay. Mom." Ash says.
After Alexa parts ways with them, they see a butler at the gate of the port as he bows to Aurora and others.
"Mistress Aurora." The man says.
"Good to see you again, Paris." Aurora says. "Now please take us to our place."
"Yes. Your highness." Paris says as they take them in the car.
In the car, Golly asks, "We have your own Lumiose? Not to mention that we have a butler as well?"
Aurora says, "Well, Paris is our housekeeper and our main butler. I called him here so that he can take us to our house."
Paris says, "And it is nice to see all of you, young masters and young mistresses."
After a long ride, Ash looks at the window and sees a big mansion as well as a big field grounds."
"Wow...this is much bigger than our house..." Mark is speechless as he also sees the house.
"No way...that is the new mansion we are living?" Minami says as she also has her face stick to the window.
Aurora laughs and says, "Of course, you'll be very surprised."
After they leave the car and head inside the mansion, the 6 children are amazed at how fancy it is inside. Paris also introduces them the workers in the house, and they greet each other.
Ash also sends out all the Pokemon he owned, and they are also amazed at how big the place is as well as the environment.
"This is perfect." Golly says. "We can see all the Pokemon living here without any problem."
"I know." Insey says.
Aurora claps and says, "Children. Not long after, most of our family members will come and greet us. Be sure to behave well when they come."
The six nods as they go to prepare. 20 minutes later, the doorbell rings as Aurora goes to open the door.
"Mother! Father!" Aurora says as she greets them. She also gives the two old adults a hug.
"Hello there, Aurora. I see you decided to take your children here." The man says.
"Of course, since I guess it is time." Aurora says as she calls out her children.
"Children, they are your grandparents, Gurkinn and Palermo. Gurkinn is a Mega Evolution Guru while Palermo is the founder of Showcases." Aurora says.
"It is nice to meet you." The six say in union.
"My my, they are really polite. Aurora, you have wonderful children." Palermo says, causing them to blush.
As they sit down, Gurkinn says, "You must be the eldest, Ash, right? I have heard your achievements, you are a really great trainer."
"Thanks, Grandpa." Ash says.
"I have a present for you." He takes out a glove and it has a key stone embed on it.
"A Key Stone?" Ash says as everyone looks amazed.
"Yes. With this you can mega evolve some of your Pokemon." Gurkinn says.
"Thank you so much." Ash says as he puts the gloves on.
Palermo says, "And I wonder...since you guys are Arceus, I want to know if you can change your gender on your free will?"
"Change Gender?" Insey asks.
"We aren't taught about that." Golly says.
"Why do you ask about it? Grandma?" Trenor asks.
"Oh, since Aurora likes to do this as pranks, so I am wondering if you are the same as her." Palermo says.
"Mother!" Aurora says quite embarrassed.
"And the other reason is that I am wondering if you want to do Showcases and Contests?"
Ash says, "I have partaken contests before. And it is Wallace that tells me that I have potential."
Gurkinn laughs, "I guess great minds think alike, huh?"
Just then, another doorbell rings as Aurora opens the door, Palermo and Gurkinn also goes towards the door, too. Much to Ash and others' shock. The one comes out from the helicopter is no other than Giovanni, the Team Rocket Boss.
"Hi Mom, hi Dad." Giovanni says as he gives them a hug.
"It has been a while, Giovanni." Gurkinn says. "Although I hear that you and Team Rocket has been doing evil stuff…"
Giovanni lowers his head, "I know. I am sorry…"
Aurora says, "Don't be. You are doing this for our sake. And I am thankful that you have given my son a challenge."
Giovanni nods, then he turns to Ash, "Hello there, Ash. Although our meeting wasn't quite a good one last time."
Ash says, "I know. But you should have been jail..."
Aurora says, "The International Police only arrested the people there, but not him, since I asked him to give you tough challenges in the 5 regions."
Ash is shocked, but he understands quickly. Minami asks, "So you are our uncle?"
Giovanni nods as Persian comes and purrs at Insey, Insey smiles and rubs its fur.
As they are at the seats, Ash says, "So those 3 are still targeting your Pokemon?"
"Yes, can't you just tell them to stop? They are really annoying." Ash says.
"I wish I could, but what's the fun without it?" Giovanni says with a slight chuckle.
"Maybe your uncle is right, and you are enjoying to see them blast off, too." Trenor says.
Ash frowns and says, "But it gets annoying sometimes."
The next family members that come to the house is the Laverre Gym Leader Valerie and Snowbelle Gym Leader Wulfric.
"You are Valerie! The famous Fashion Designer!" Minami says. "I love your clothes."
Valerie says with a smile, "Why thank you, Minami."
Aurora says, "Valerie is my sister. Like us, she can listen to Pokemon's voices."
"Wow." Mark says.
The family introduce their 3 daughters. Alice, a Pokemon performer who likes Ice Type Pokemon, Eve, who has passed the test to become a Professor, and Flora, like her mother, she likes to design clothes.
The fourth to come is Olympia, the Anistar City Gym Leader, along with Lucian, the Sinnoh Elite 4 member.
"Ash, it has been a while since I last saw you." Lucian says.
"Lucian? Are we related?" Ash asks.
Valerie says, "You see, Lucian is our eldest brother, and only he gets the Psychic Powers from our mother."
Minami asks, "So our grandmother is a Psychic?"
"You can say so." Wulfric says.
Olympia says, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Ash. Don't worry about your future. You will become a success if you keep moving on."
Lucian says, "Indeed, Ash. We will stand by your side."
"Thanks, that means a lot." Ash says.
Then their children come outside, Ash is shocked to see one familiar purple haired girl.
"Anabel?" Ash says in shock.
"Ash, everyone. It is nice to see you again." Anabel says.
"So we are related?" Mark asks in shock.
"Yeah, although I just know it before getting here a few minutes ago." Anabel says.
Anabel also introduces her twin brother, Daniel to others. Daniel has been a good help with her in the International Police.
The fifth family comes as Ash notices that it is Wallace.
Wallace says, "Ash, it is nice to see you again."
Ash says, "Wallace? You are also in our family?"
Aurora says, "Wallace is my brother, and we both like to participate in contests since we are in your age."
Wallace says, "Indeed, those were the good times. Ash. Although I am sorry that I couldn't tell you about our relationship when we were at Lake Valor."
Ash nods as he introduces his family, East, a golfer and a sky trainer. And Reisa, a good singer and also a Coordinator in training.
The next family that comes to Ash's house is Diantha and Seibold. The Kalos Champion and the strongest Elite 4 member in Kalos.
Aurora says, "Diantha, it is so good to see you again."
Diantha says, "Indeed, sister."
"Diantha the movie star? You are related to us?" Insey says. "I always love your movies!"
"Why thank you. Sister Aurora has been a help to us." Diantha smiles.
"And you are Seibold, the S Class Connoisseur and a 5 Star Chef!" Mark says.
"I see you know us well even though we hide the fact that we are a same family."
Diantha and Seibold also introduce their children, The first one is Luke, a boy who likes to see the beauty of a person's heart. David, an Inventor who likes to invent useful items, Elline, a girl who is dreaming to be like her mother, an Actress, and finally, Nate, a boy who loves to read books.
The sixth family arrives and Ash almost get a heart attack after seeing the people coming out. The first one is Tobias and Cynthia, both of them greet Palermo and Gurkinn, then they greet the others.
"Ash, it is so great to see you again." Tobias says.
"Indeed. I remember we last meet is in Undella Town?" Cynthia says.
"I don't know both of you are related to me…" Ash says surprised.
Aurora says, "Tobias is my brother, and since I am an Arceus, it was me who gives him the Darkrai and Latios that you faced."
"Indeed. And I am sorry for your loss at the Sinnoh League, since your mother asked me to test you. You were great to defeat two of the Legendaries."
Ash is a little taken aback at this, but as their children come out of the helicopter.
"Ash. It is so great to see you again." The girl says.
"Verity, nice to see you too. You too, Piplup." Ash says.
As Golly sees the second girl, she says, "You are the Kalos Queen! Aria!"
Aria says, "It is nice to meet you, and it is thanks to grandma that I can become the Kalos Queen."
"Wow..." Trenor says. Then they also introduce Tox, a doctor in training.
The last family comes and appeared from it is Steven and Winnoa. Of course, everyone is shocked to see them.
"Hello Ash, nice to see you again." Steven says.
"You two are also members of our family?" Insey asks in shock.
"Yes. Insey." Aurora says, "Winnoa is my youngest sister."
Winoa says, "We heard that Aurora shows you the truth. So we come as Sister invited us."
Then they introduce their children, first is Lisia, who is training under Wallace as a Top Coordinator, and Helen, a girl who is obsessed with lava, and Drandon, a Dragon Type Pokemon breeder.
"So is that all of them?" Ash asks.
"Well, we can't find where Alain is, and Korrina is still outside trying to battle trainers." Gurkinn says.
"I see." Golly says.
"So Ash, I wonder, do you want to participate Showcases and Contests?" Palermo asks.
Ash is taken aback. He says, "I could do contests, but Showcase… isn't that limited for girls?"
Aurora says, "Well, since you are Arceus, you can change your appearance to a girl without using wigs. And trust me, being in both genders are fun."
Ash says, "I'll try." He then closes his eyes and concentrating, then standing in front of them is a raven haired girl with a long hair that goes to her shoulder. His pants changes to a skirt and she wears black socks that goes to her tights.
"Oh, my Ash. You look astonishing." Aurora says.
Ash uses a female voice and asks, "Do I look weird?"
Nate says, "You look so great and beautiful."
Tox says, "Indeed. I almost get myself fooled."
Alice says, "I am getting jealous..."
Ash blushes and quickly changes back. Aria says, "I am looking forward to have a showcase with you in that form."
Ash says, "Thanks. Grandma. I will participate showcases."
"That will be great." Palermo says.
"So Ash, is all your Pokemon outside?" Diantha asks.
"Yes." As they are outside, they are amazed to see a lot of Pokemon there, Ash also introduces the family to others.
Meanwhile, the trio has been watching from the trees, Jessie says, "We finally found where the twerp lives."
"And a big mansion, too. I never know he is rich." James says.
"Wait, is that the boss?" Meowth says in shock as well as the other 2.
"It is the boss, I thought that he is in jail..." Jessie says.
"How did he get out and why is he getting along with them?" James asks.
"And that Persian is here, too! Getting along with the Twerps' rare Pokemon." Meowth says.
"Maybe that is not the boss, our boss is supposed to be evil." Jessie says as they nod.
After playing with the Pokemon, they all get inside the house. Diantha says, "So you are going to take part at the League, too? Seeing that you have a lot of new Pokemon."
"Yes. Aunt Diantha. I am going to win it." Ash says with determination.
"I like your spirit." Wulfric says. "But don't think we will be easy on you."
"The greater the challenge, the better we can do." Ash says as Pikachu nods.
Reisa asks, "Can we also travel with you?"
"Huh?" Ash asks.
Alice says, "We can travel with you for a short time so we can learn each other."
Eve asks, "Please?"
"Why not?" Ash says. "But traveling in a group of 20 or more people is kind of weird."
"Don't worry, we can decide who will travel between the distance of the gyms." Mark says as everyone agrees his plans. Then they all start to make a plan until they leave the house and bid farewell.
Here is the second chapter. And it concludes the relatives of Ash and his family. The next chapter will be the Episode 1 I have been waiting to write. Ash will compete in Showcases and Contests as well, and I hope you are excited.
