Chapter 13
There is an incident with Giratina and Shaymin, Ash, Dawn, and Brock are helping them by going to the Gracidea Fields and also stopping a scientist named Zero from taking over the Distortion World. After the incident is over, Shaymin secretly gives Ash a Pokeball and says, "Once I finish my job, I promise I will return to you, Ash."
Only Ash can hear it because of the aura, while Brock and Dawn can't. Giratina also nods at Ash before leaving. Dawn asks, "I wonder where they are going?"
"Who knows. Maybe somewhere for them to relax." Ash says, and he knows that Sevestar Island is a perfect place for them to relax.
After getting to Sevestar Island this weekend, Lillie says, "I thought Regigigas was sleeping at Snowpoint Temple...and you need Regirock, Regice, and Registeel to wake it up. So how did he appear in Ten'i Village?"
"Maybe he senses the glacier coming." Ash says. "As for Giratina, thank you for helping us fight the cyborg, so we can deliver the final blow."
Giratina roars at Ash and Lillie before nodding. "Giratina is said to live in a world on the reverse side of ours. It appears in an ancient cemetery, which is Turnback Cave." Lillie says while holding a yellow object that was given by Giratina, "And I guess this is the Griseous Core. Which changes Giratina's form."
"I wonder if Dialga and Palkia have the orbs to change their forms as well." Ash says.
By mentioning the names of Dialga and Palkia, Giratina is roaring in anger, Ash understands it might be because of the fight that causes the Distortion World to be polluted. Arceus also tries to calm Giratina down by telling him that it's his fault.
"By the way, Arceus, aren't you and Giratina enemies in the past? You did banish him for violence, right?" Ash asks.
"It is true that I've done that, however...there are some times I really regret what I've done." Arceus says in a sad tone.
Giratina floats toward Arceus and gives her a slight nuzzle, as they are showing affection for each other. Ash and Lillie can understand what they're saying, and they can't believe that they are flirting with each other.
"I guess we should leave the two of them alone." Ash says with a blush, and Lillie nods.
After defeating the third gym in Vilestone City, Ash finally gets to see the villain in Sinnoh: Team Galactic, for the first time. They are trying to steal the meteorites, but Ash and the others manage to stop them. They also get to encounter J again, this time she's aiming for a Riolu that is capable of learning Aura Sphere.
Right now Ash is at Lake Valor, and he is having a call with Lillie. "So you met Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader and also the founder of Wallace Cup? That's amazing."
"I know, and I tried the Contest, not as Red but myself, but I lost in the end." Ash sighs.
"It's fine, that just makes your disguise easier." Lillie nods. "That Hoenn Girl will leave once this is over, right?"
"You mean May? Don't worry, once the Wallace Cup is done, she will be heading back to Johto for her own Contests." Ash says, "By the way, should we meet tomorrow? There is something that I want to tell you as well."
"Of course. I can't wait to see you again." Lillie smiles as they end the call.
The next day, Ash and Lillie are meeting up again, Ash also tells Arceus about his meeting with Azelf.
"So you seem to see the spirit of Azelf back in Lake Valor?" Arceus asks after the next day on Sevestar Island. Ash says, "Yeah. I wonder if it is related to Team Galactic."
"Maybe." Lillie says, "We really don't know anything about them after all..."
For Sinnoh's Poison Pokemon, Ash and Lillie capture a Croagunk, a Roselia, a Stunky, and a Skorupi at the Great Marsh, evolving them into a Toxicroak, a Roserade, a Skuntank, and a Drapion. They are also delighted since they don't need to actually search for a lot of places to capture all four Pokemon in the end.
While searching underwater, they find a Manaphy egg, by hatching it, the newborn Manaphy treats Ash and Lillie as its parents. "Manaphy is so cute." Lillie says.
"I know." Ash says with a smile, "Just try not to get hit by Heart Swap from this little dude."
"By the way, that Hoenn girl, May, also hatches a Manaphy egg back at Samiya, right?" Lillie asks. "Are you sure you're not going to confuse this one with that Manaphy?"
"How would I confuse with that one?" Ash says while giving Lillie and Manaphy a hug. "This one is special to both of us." Lillie smiles as she accepts the embrace.
For Galar's Psychic Type Pokemon, they find an Indeedee that can help them with healing Pokemon; a Galarian Slowpoke at the Isle of Armor which evolves into a Galarian Slowking after using the Galarica Wreath; an Orbeetle caught inside one of the Max Raid Dens; and a Hatterene that evolves from Hatenna at the Motostoke Outskirts. With Arceus's help, they also change Mr. Mime into a Galarian Form, and Mr. Mime evolves into a Mr. Rime. Despite the tap dancing, he still likes to help Delia with the housework.
Back with the others, Ash gets to see the Blaze ability that Chimchar is using, but he can't control himself, which causes some problems. They also manage to meet Gary and they try to help Gligar with his fear and evolve him into a Gliscor. Then they also attend Professor Rowan's Summer Camp. Ash might be able to disguise himself with expressions, but deep down inside, he feels sorrow and pain while attending the Summer Camp, because it reminds him of someone who was killed at a young age.
After the summer camp is over, Ash and his group also meet up with more Team Galactic members and they get away with the Lustrous Orb. After that incident, Ash decides to call Lillie and tell her the bad news.
"Thanks to those Team Rocket idiots, they made Team Galactic get away with the Lustrous Orb. Now Team Galactic have both of the orbs in their possession." Ash says bitterly.
"This is no good, what should we do then?" Lillie continues to ask.
"Arceus told us to wait as we can't do anything since we don't know where their base is." Ash says. "I really hope that you were with me when fighting against those people, maybe we have a better chance."
"But we have to keep our relationship a secret." Lillie says with a slight frown.
"You're right." Ash says, "I'll see you next weekend. Love."
"See you then, love." Lillie says.
For the next Pokemon capturing for the secret couple, they decide to find Bug and Ghost Type Pokemon. They find a Burmy and evolve it into a Wormadam at Route 228 so it can have a Sandy Cloak. By traveling through time, they get a Black Argurite and use it to evolve Scyther into a Kleavor. They find a Drifloon at the Valley Windworks and capture it, evolving it into a Drifblim. They also capture a Misdreavus and use the Dusk Stone to make it a Mismagius, and the same Dusknoir that Ash finds at the Summer Camp. Back in past, Ash also helps a girl who turns out to be one of Spiritomb's souls and captures it.
For the Ground Pokemon in Galar, they capture a Silicobra and evolve it into a Sandaconda at Route 6. For the Steel Type Pokemon in Galar, they capture a Cufant at Bridge Field and evolve it into a Copperajah, they also help Cinderace's former friends to stop a pack of Galarian Meowth and Perrserker, capturing the boss in the end. And also a Duraludon near South Lake Miloch. For the Fighting Pokemon in Galar, Ash challenges a Galarian Farfetch'd to a battle and capture it in the end, it evolves into a Sirfetch'd after battling a trainer's Gallade.
For the fourth gym, Ash challenges Allister to the battle, and he also helps him with Gengar's Dynamax problem. By finding three Max Mushrooms, Gengar can use Gigantamax.
They also find another Team Rocket's base underneath Mauville City, a place known as New Mauville. This time the cyborg is a man named Blitz, and the mechanical parts are full of magnets, devices, and so on.
"I have to guess this guy is an Electric Type..." Ash says.
"Just because you have that Pikachu doesn't mean you can beat me with ease." Blitz says, "Though I have to admit that Pikachu is a great specimen for the team."
"You're not taking it from me!" Ash yells as he fires the Bolt Strike, paralyzing both Ash and Lillie at the same time. Then it goes for Electro Drift, but Ash quickly sends out Gliscor to block the attack.
"Gliscor, use Earth Power!" Ash yells, but the attack is canceled by Fusion Bolt. Lillie goes for the Aura Sphere using the Gloves of Fighting with the help of Chimchar, but the attack is also canceled by Plasma Fists.
"Take this! This is the end!" Blitz tries to go for the Wildbolt Storm, but the attack causes the ceiling on top of Blitz to crash into the ground and much to their horror, Blitz is dead.
"Looks like this time the cyborg digs his own grave." Lillie says.
"But still, we're just lucky..." Ash says, "Pikachu, can you help us get some paralysis heals?"
Pikachu nods as he looks into Ash's backpack, spraying the heals on Ash and Lillie so they can walk again. While the International Police is getting rid of the bodies and arrest the Team Rocket members, Ash also picks up the file about this Cyborg.
Blitz. Age:38. Born: Hoenn. He likes to use Rotom to play pranks on others. After the Rotom is taken away, he swears revenge and joins Team Rocket to get his Rotom back. After joining Team Rocket, he becomes one of the testers of the Cyborgs. His typing and code name are "Electric" He also absorbs the power of the Legendary and Mythical Pokemon of Electric Type for Team Rocket. The Weakness of the Cyborg is the attacks from above.
"Well, we don't know if he gets his Rotom back by doing evil things for Team Rocket, but whatever... I think we can use this place for our living place as well."
"You're right." Lillie says as they start to work on the place, making the place livable for both of them. They also get permission from Wattson to use the space of the area so that people won't bother them.
"This is the picture from Kaito before his demise." A Team Rocket grunt presents a photo of Ash and Lillie to Giovanni. "They are the ones who have been eliminating our bases, and they manage to destroy 7 of them right now."
Giovanni says, "You've done well. Now you can leave."
After the grunt leaves, Giovanni looks at the picture and says, "Ash Ketchum and Lillie Aether... One is Delia's son, and the other one is the daughter of the president of the Aether Foundation? That's interesting..."
He rubs the fur of Persian and says, "Maybe it will be better if we visit one of the bases and see them in action..."
Here is a new chapter, after the seventh base, they finally gain Giovanni's attention. Right now Ash and Lillie are also capturing a lot of Pokemon in their team and I hope you like this chapter.
