Chapter 11: Return to House
After biding farewell to Professor Sycamore, the group of six are now on the road once more. Bonnie asks, "So where should we go next?"
"How about my house?" Ash asks as everyone looks at him in surprise. "It is not far from here."
"Sure, it should be a good thing to find out the place you lived." Clemont says as Ash calls Paris to give them a ride. As he and his car arrives in front of them, Paris comes out and says, "Master Ash, Master Trenor and Master Luke. It is good to see you again."
"You too, Paris." Trenor says.
"You have a butler?" Serena asks in shock.
"Well, yes." Ash says. "I'll explain everything."
After they are on the car, Paris asks, "So Master Ash, how is your journey?"
Ash says, "You don't need to call me master, Paris. I treat all of you as equal. But it is great."
Paris says, "Glad you like it." He looks at the window and says, "And it seems like we have made it."
Serena looks at the window and sees a fenced area with all kinds of habitats. She asks, "Ash, how big is your house?"
Ash says, "Well, it was only a mansion over there, but with the amount of Pokemon in our place."
"You have a mansion? Not just a house?" Clemont says in shock.
"You guys must be very rich." Bonnie says.
"Well, it is thanks to our family." Trenor says.
Once they arrive, Paris goes to park his car as they enter the mansion. But in there, they see Lysandre talking to not only Aurora, but Diantha as well, much to others shock.
"You played a young girl so wonderfully in your debut on the silver screen. Wouldn't you rather remain young and beautiful forever and always play such roles?"
"What a strange question... Why would I want to play the same old roles forever? Youth may be beautiful, but it's not all there is to life. Everything changes. I want to live and change like that, too. So I look forward to playing different roles as I get older." Diantha says.
"You were chosen to be a movie star, correct? Isn't it your duty to be ever beautiful? Everything beautiful should stay that way forever. I would make this world unchanging and eternal so all beauty will last forever. Or I would end the world in an instant so that beauty never fades. I can't stand the thought of the world becoming uglier."
After that, Lysandre excuses himself as he leaves, then Aurora sees them. "Ah, Ash, everyone. Good to see you again.
"Mom." Ash and Trenor hug her, while Luke hugs Diantha.
Serena asks Ash, "Why is the famous actor and the champion of the Kalos, Diantha here?"
Luke says, "Oh, she is my mother."
Diantha says, "So you must be the ones that Ash is traveling with. It is a pleasure to meet you. And Clemont, good to see you again."
"Likewise, Diantha." Clemont says.
Serena and Bonnie introduce themselves, then Bonnie asks, "Does that mean Nate and Luke are your sons?"
"Yes. They want to travel with Ash. And I approve of it." Diantha says. "And Serena, right? It is good to see Ash chosen a great girlfriend."
The two of them blush as Aurora says, "Indeed. Diantha. They really make a good couple."
"Mom!" Ash yells as they laugh. Diantha says, "But Clemont, I have heard reports that you will shock the trainers and send them falling though the top of the tower once they lose or didn't have 4 badges, care to explain?"
Clemont says, "I am sorry, I built a robot, but I programed it wrong and it kicked me out of my gym. It was thanks to Ash and his friends that I got my gym back."
Diantha says, "I will overlook this, but make sure this doesn't happen again."
"Thank you, Diantha." Clemont says.
After showing around the house, they are stunned to see how big it is. They then head outside the garden as every one of the Pokemon rushes towards Ash and gather around them.
"Wow. There are a lot of Pokemon!" Bonnie says in surprise.
"How many are there?" Clemont asks, "And those are yours?"
"Yep. If you want to know the amount, I can say that there are 317 Pokemon." Ash says as the group are looking at him in shock. "Are you serious? You have over 316 Pokemon and how are you going to train them?"
"We have butlers and maids that will help out, not to mention that the place inside here acts like a wild area for these Pokemon to survive and learn." Ash says.
"But how did you capture all the Pokemon?" Bonnie asks in awe at the sight of all the Pokemon in front of them. Ash says, "It is a long story. But first."
He claps as every one of the Pokemon are looking at them. Ash says, "Everyone, this is my girlfriend Serena. I hope you all can treat her nice."
Every one of the Pokemon are stunned to hear that, then all the Pokemon goes to Serena and let her pet them. It feels like they treat Serena as their second trainer.
"They really are great, Ash." Serena says as she gives him a peck on the cheek.
"I know." Ash says as the Pokemon are happy to see Ash having a mate.
As they are now walking around the area, Ash is talking about how he captures all the Pokemon. He said that some Pokemon aren't even his Pokemon to begin with, but because of his actions causes them to leave an expression to him, so he captures it.
"So you was saying that you had 30 Tauros? What happened to the other 29?" Clemont asks.
"Well, I wasn't a good trainer to begin with, that is why I feel guilty to leave the 29 Tauros behind. So I decided to trade them away and some Normal Type Pokemon are traded to me from the Tauros." Ash says. "Like this Raticate, and this Persian, kinda surprised that my uncle Giovanni would trade it for me, Farfetch'd, Dodrio, Lickilicky, Blissey, Ditto, Furret, Girafarig, Dunsparce, Stantler and Miltank, Linoone, Exploud, Spinda, Castform, Kecleon, Bibarel, Lopunny, Purugly, Chatot, Watchog, Stoutland, Audino, Cinccino, Sawsbuck, Bouffalant"
"You sure care about Pokemon a lot that you don't want them to suffer, Ash?" Serena asks as Ash agrees.
Then they see how Pidgeot and Fearow are still fighting, Serena asks, "Why are they fighting? What happened?"
"Well, I wasn't trying to have this Fearow in my team just because of what happened on my first day of my journey. I was a novice at that time and Pikachu refused to listen to me."
"Pikachu refuses to listen to you? Why?" Bonnie asks in surprise.
"He thinks that humans are bad at first, and since he refuses to help me, I decide to capture a Pokemon on my own, and then I throw a rock on that Spearow, causing it to attack us. I tried to save Pikachu, and it is after that we trust each other."
"I don't think throwing a rock to a Spearow is a good idea especially since its anger is hard to control." Clemont says.
"I know, but after I got back at the Kanto League, it tries to attack us again, and that is when I decided to release Pidgeot to the forest in order to stop him. But they are now back into my team I suppose." Ash says.
Then they see how Wigglytuff is singing and the other Pokemon are clapping, Ash says, "Wigglytuff was a Jigglypuff that likes to sing lullaby, and after we got asleep, it likes to draw on our faces."
Trenor says, "It is a good thing that it evolves and learn new songs so that he and his travel companions won't need to be drawn again."
As for the Porygon-Z, he said that it was once hacking into the computers, making red and blue lights that causes a lot of people to get sick. Ash stops him and captures him so that it won't be able to harm another person.
He also reveals that the Ursaring is captured because it was chasing him back in his journey, and the Smeargle was creating graffiti on the walls of a city. Slaking was just blocking the road, Delcatty was caught a cold, Zangoose was fighting against a Seviper, Braviary and Mandibuzz are fighting for attention, whatever reasons there are, the three Kalos natives are surprised to learn Ash remembers all of them and his heroic deeds.
As for Bug Type Pokemon, he said that most of them are befriended in the Viridian Forest back in the Kanto Region, such as Beedrill, who has a colony there with some Vespiquen and Combee, a Parasect that heals him, a Venomoth that he helps by evolving from Venonat, a Scizor that he helps proving innocent to the people that hates it, and a Pinsir that is looking for tree saps in the forest.
There is also Ledian and Ariados, both of them are wandering from the Johto Region and they have nowhere to live, and a Yanmega that he found back in the Bug catching contest, a Forretress that was sleeping back at Azalea Town, a Shuckle who helps him by making berry juices, Beautifly and Dustox that are raised from Wurmple, Masquerain that was found at a lake in Hoenn, Ninjask and Shedinja that he observed from its pre-evolution Nincada, Volbeat and Illumise that love each other back in the Hoenn Region.
He also reveals a Kricketune, who he finds like to play music with Wigglytuff, Wormadam and Mothim, who he found as Burmy and they both dropped on Ash's head back then, Scolipede that he accidentally disturbed its nap, a Crustle that he helps him find the best rock to live, Escavalier and Accelgor that he and his sister helped to evolve, Galvantula that likes Pikachu's electricity, a Durant that is fighting against a Heatmor, and a Volcarona that he found in the Unova Region.
"But Ash, you told us that you just reunited with your siblings a few days ago, how did you manage to travel from one region to another that fast?" Clemont asks, finding it hard to believe that the Pokemon are captured that quick.
"You are right, Clemont." Ash says. "It seems impossible, but it turns out that I had split myself a few years ago, and my other self knew my siblings a long time ago."
"What do you mean by that?" Serena asks in worry. Ash says, "As you can see, you know that I am Arceus, right?"
They all nod as Ash had told them about it one time. "But in truth, I was a normal human when I first started my journey. I didn't have any powers that can make me do what I want, and I was a little stupid back then."
"Ash, don't you dare saying that to yourself." Serena suddenly outbursts, causing him to get surprised. "I am sorry, I want to say is that it is after I came back from Unova that I am complete whole again. But then again, it also gives me a headache."
"How so?" Clemont asks.
"It feels like you had a new memory that is inserted into your mind, you start to doubt which memory is your real one and I felt like I was not myself. It feels good and bad at the same time. Good because I matured, bad because I felt confused."
This causes the group to understand and Serena says, "Ash, don't forget, you have us, I am sure that we will want to help you out no matter what."
Clemont says, "Serena is right. I am sure you can overcome everything."
Ash smiles and thanks them before taking them to his other Pokemon.
Here is a new chapter, and I had Diantha appear early in order to synchronize with the game plot, and I hope you like this chapter as the next one is still introducing the new Pokemon.
