Chapter 3 Start Exploring

Back at Kanto Region, Professor Oak and the others are waiting for Ash to return, but he hasn't come.

Misty: Where is he? Why isn't he here yet?

Dawn: That's impossible! He should have come back here.

At the same time, Tracy rushes back to the lab with a horrified expression.

Tracy: Professor! All of Ash's Pokemon are missing!

May: All of them are gone?!

Professor Oak ran to the computer and tries to find them, and just like what Tracy said, all of them are gone.

Serena: You don't think Ash... (Decides not to finish the sentence)

Brock: (Looks at Serena with a dangerous look, causing her to shiver a little) Ash took them?

Oak: That's impossible, Ash would've rung me and asked for them.

Max: Then where are they?

Oak: I don't know, but I'm going to the police and report this.

After everyone leaves, Serena is now kneeling on the ground, tears start to burst from her eyes, as she doesn't want to betray Ash like that. Ash is the person she loved and she doesn't want this to happen, but she is too weak to fight back. She just hoped that Ash didn't know her betrayal and hoped that he is somewhere safe.


In the Alola Region, Lillie and Gladion are now at their house, they have heard what happened to Ash and they are furious. But when they turn on the news, they are horrified at what happened.

Reporter: The train to Reborn Region has been destroyed, and the authorities are trying to find the culprit behind all of this, and with that, the region is locked down...

Lillie burst into tears after hearing what happened, she knows Ash is on that train and the same train explodes. Gladion quickly comforts her by pulling her into a hug.

Lillie: Why does it have to happen to Ash? This is not fair.

Gladion: Lillie, the police are trying to find the culprit, but that doesn't mean Ash is dead. His name is not on the list, maybe he is alive somewhere.

Lillie: I hope you're right... I don't want my best friend to be dead like that...

Gladion sighs, he knows about Lillie's feelings for Ash, and he also wants Ash to be safe so that he can have a battle with him in the future.


Back in Reborn City, Ash is looking at the polluted water. He can't believe that the water is dirty and the region is a mess. But just as he sits on the bench to think about things, time freezes again.

Arceus: I see you finally made it to Reborn.

Ash: (Notices Arceus standing in front of him) Arceus, why do you want me to come to this region, I mean, I almost got killed by a train explosion. How am I supposed to find your offspring in this region?

Arceus: I know you can, that's what we believe. To save my offspring, I want you to also capture as many Pokemon in Reborn as you can, they will be helping you on your journey.

Ash: Won't I have too much Pokemon to take care of?

Arceus: Why yes. But don't worry, it is not just your mother, I will also help her out. After all, I was the one that revived your mother from her death.

Ash: (Widens his eyes) Wait, what? Death? My mom was killed?

Arceus: That's not my story to tell. You'll have to wait for some time for her to tell you the whole truth.

Ash can only sigh as Arceus leaves again, he still has a lot of questions that need to be answered, but right now, he has to capture as many Pokemon as he can to help out.

They notice some thugs harassing a Pachirisu, wanting it to jump into the water, Ash frowns as he decides to stop them before Pachirisu is hurt, after defeating them with ease, Pachirisu decides to join their team.

Ash's New Pokemon in Opal Ward: Pachirisu (Event) Combee, Pineco, Spearow (Headbutt) Bidoof, Ekans, Meowth, Patrat, Pidgey, Rattata, Spinarak

Ash: Okay, that's ten Pokemon. I wonder what would Arceus want to do with them...

Ash continues to walk until he reaches Lower Peridot Ward, the place where the Train Station exploded. He noticed a man looking at him, and he starts to feel uncomfortable. Turns out that the man wants 150 Poke dollars so that he can survive in the place. Ash, being rich as he is the Alolan Champion, decides not to argue and gives him 150, the man is thankful as he steps aside from the route, letting Ash in.

There is one empty house with an Espurr inside, and Ash decides to feed the Pokemon with PokeSnax, in the end, Espurr decides to join their team. They also spot a Teddiursa on the streets as they have to chase after it. After that's done, Teddiursa decides to fight them, only to lose and be captured by Ash. They also find a nearby dumpster shaking lightly, after opening it, they find a Gulpin inside. And another house has a wild Whismur.

He looks around the area until he finds a yellow building with a gym sign on it.

Ash: I guess this is the gym...It's called Neo-Circuit Power Plant- A Silph Co. Service.

He also notices the words below the sign, "Neo-Circuit is such a LAME name! I officially retitle this place the Electro-Dazzle Happy Boom-Time House of Cheer!"

Ash: Definitely Julia's work.

As he knocks on the door, nobody is answering, he spots a note on the door as he reads it.

Ash: "Julia. Do consider curbing your soporific tendencies before agreeing to rendezvous during your 'naptime'. Nonetheless, we will continue searching for the culprit. Assist immediately." I guess we can't go to the gym right now, Pikachu.

Pikachu frowns but nods as they decide to explore the place for more. They notice a gift box behind the gym as they pick it up, and they decide to find the owner as he enters one of the houses. He finds an old man who is panicking.

Man: Hrmm... I appear to have misplaced a present I got for my grandson. This is most unfortunate... (Notices Ash) Trainer, should you happen to find it, I shall see to it that you are showered with presents in return.

Ash: (Takes out the box) Is it this one?

Man: Wait! That Gift Box you have that- that one right there?! Could it be- it is! Give it here at once!

Ash hands over the gift box, and the man opens it with a relieved smile.

Man: You've found it and I am saved! Three cheers for the hero of the day! No, better! As promised, you shall be showered with no small number of presents! Here they come...!

Just then, the man takes out a Poke Ball and gives it to Ash, causing him to stare at the man with surprise.

Man: ...What? It can use Present endlessly! Don't you dare act disappointed! I've filled my end of the promise!

Ash: Okay, so I just got a Delibird...

Man: Say, do you want to know what was in the Gift Box? Well- I'll tell you, but it must be a secret from all.

Ash is now curious about what's inside the gift box, so he promises not to spill the beans.

Man: All right... Listen carefully. The truth is... Inside the box... Was...The magic of friendship!

Ash and Pikachu give him a look that says, "Seriously"

Man: Incredible, isn't it? I'm only kidding. It was a $70,000 dollar watch.

Ash decides to leave the man alone since it is not something important. In another house, they see a boy and a granny with a sick Skitty.

Granny: GRANDMA: My grandson is stuck on the idea of healing Skitty himself. If we only took it to a Center it would be just fine, but he's so stubborn. If we could give him an Oran Berry or something, that might even be enough...

Ash: I have an Oran Berry, I don't know if it can help you. (Hands over the berry to the granny)

Granny: Oh, thank you, generous Trainer. (Turns to her grandson) All right, if you want to heal Skitty yourself, try using this.

Boy: (Looks at the berry) This? Okay.

The boy takes the Oran Berry and asks Skitty to eat it, and after that, Skitty manages to recover.

Skitty: Ski-ski-ski-Skitty! (Run around)

Granny: There you go. It's all better, and thanks to you!

Boy: Yay!

Granny: But I think it's best we let Skitty go now. Raising a Pokémon is a lot of responsibility, and it may be a bit early for you yet.

Boy: (Insists) No, grandma! I can do it!

Granny: Taking care of other living things means putting their needs before your own. It was okay this time, but in the future, you really must take injured Pokémon into a Center for care regardless of your personal desires.

Boy: (Lowers his head) Okay, maybe you're right... But if we let Skitty go wild, it could get hurt again!

Granny: (Sighs) Oh, for heaven's sake... (Turns to Ash) Tell me, Trainer, would you be able to adopt this Skitty, and keep it out of trouble for my boy?

Ash: Sure, we can help it out.

Granny: (Smiles) Bless you, Trainer.

Boy: (Demands) You'd better take good care of it!

Granny: What he means to say is, thank you very much.

Ash: No problem.

And in another house, there is also a girl with a sick Kricketot.

Girl: My Kricketot hasn't been doing well at all lately...It's so lethargic. I don't know what to do, so I called someone to help.

?: Um...Hello? Oh, oh!

Ash and Pikachu see a girl with purple hair walking into the room, and Ash feels like the girl looks like Bugsy the gym leader in Johto.

Girl: Are you Shelly?

Shelly: That's me. It's nice to meet you! Um... Is this the Pokémon you told me about?

Girl: (Nods) It's my Kricketot. It really hasn't been feeling well.

Shelly: Okay... Poor thing. Um, I know Bug Pokémon pretty well, so... Let me take a look?

The girl named Shelly looks at the Kricketot, and she nods, knowing the problem.

Shelly: Oh...Ummm, well, the good news is that your Kricketot isn't sick! But, it is really lonely. I know how that goes, too. Does it get out much?

Girl: (Lowers her head) No... I get pretty busy and can't take care of it as much as I should.

Shelly: I think that's the problem... Um... It would be best for Kricketot if it was with an active Trainer...

Girl: I see... If it's what's best for Kricketot, then...(Turns to Ash) Excuse me, would you be willing to look after Kricketot?

Ash: But don't you want it?

Girl: I want to, but if it's going to suffer, I shouldn't keep it, and you look like a bright Trainer. Will you keep Kricketot for me?

Ash nods as he decides to take Kricketot with him, the other girl Shelly is also sighing in relief.

Girl: Thank you. Please take good care of Kricketot for me.

Shelly: I think it'll be just fine then! I guess I should get back to my Gym, though. I can't be away too long, hehe.

Ash realizes that the girl in front of him is a gym leader, but she looks very young compared to him, so it doesn't make a lot of scene.

Shelly: Um... Bye! It was nice to meet both of you! Feel free to stop by my Gym whenever you'd like!

After she leaves, Ash also leaves the house and sighs.

Ash: This place really is bad for Pokemon to stay, I mean, look at how many sick Pokemon we caught...

Pikachu nods in agreement, and they decide to have a rest in the Pokemon Center to think about the next place to go.

Ash's New Pokemon in Lower Peridot Ward: Espurr, Teddiursa, Gulpin, Whismur, Delibird, Skitty, Kricketot (Event)
