Chapter 44 Teleporting Mess

After leaving the Belrose Mansion, Ash goes back to Reborn City as he has to do some things before heading towards Spinel Town. Before that, he goes to the Tanzan Mountain and Tanzan Cove to capture some Pokemon first.

Ash's New Pokemon in Tanzan Cove: Audino, Oricorio, Poliwhirl, Ribombee (Grass)

Ash's New Pokemon in Tanzan Mountain: Solrock (Event) Alolan Geodude (Cave)

He returns the House Key to the Move Relearner so that he can have his Pokemon relearn some moves, then he goes back to the Peridot Ward to fish out some Pokemon in the lake.

Ash's New Capture in Lower Peridot Ward: Tentacool (Fishing)

In Magma Gang's Hideout, Ash finds a Houndour and adds it to the team, because it is hungry and he feeds it with PokeSnax.

Ash's New Capture in North Obsidia Ward: Houndour (Event)

And when Ash walks into Byxbysion Wasteland's Wall, he enters a small area and finds Kiki's grave, but the next part causes Ash to shiver. Kiki is seemingly standing in front of him in front of a grave.

Kiki: Ash...Hello, Ash...

Ash: Kiki? Is that you? (Thinks) What is going on, is she a ghost right now?

Kiki: (Angry) Why? Why did you let me die? You defeated Solaris... But still, you let him kill me. Why did you kill me?

Ash: I didn't mean to kill you! You have to believe me!

Kiki: Death is...cold...painful...lonely... You feel the wind across your face, the warmth of your own body... You feel all the light of life and then, all of a sudden, darkness. The world slips away. Even your mind, your memories. You hear your heart stop beating. You feel your blood freeze. You try to cry, but you don't have tears to do so. You try to scream, but you no longer have a voice. Why would you do that to me? Was I so cruel to you? Did you loathe me? Did you cheer my disease onward? Were you just waiting for me to rot to peck at my corpse?

Ash: I didn't! You have to trust me!

Kiki: You will suffer as I have suffered!

As Kiki's soul charges toward Ash, Ash decides to block the attack by sending out Snorlax, and the ghost can't attack him.

Ash: Kiki! You have to calm down! This isn't you, you told me that revenge isn't anything! So please, don't let anger consume you!

Kiki: (Sighs) What a pity. It would have been such fun, too. But you would not be deceived.

Kiki's soul disappears as it turns out to be a Misdreavus, who is giggling. Ash sighs as he has the Misdreavus join his team.

Ash's New Capture in Wasteland Wall: Misdreavus (Event)

And he also finds a Squirtle in one of the fountains and also captures it, since it reminds him of his own Squirtle who is working with the police in Kanto.

Ash's New Capture in Byxbysion Wasteland: Squirtle (Event)


Ash is now at Chrysolia Forest, and all he does is walk and capture Pokemon, but for him, it seems like the forest doesn't end as he gets lost in the place already.

Ash's New Capture in Chrysolia Forest: Comfey, Deerling, Minccino, Toucannon (Grass) Chatot (Headbutt)

Ash: Damn it...did I just walk towards here a few minutes ago? Where is Spinel Town and why do I think we're running in circles?

Pikachu is also frustrated at the whole area being confusing, but Ash manages to find a train and he manages to find an egg inside. So he picks it up, and he also meets a scientist who gives him a Field Note for Grassy Terrain.

As they continue to look around the place, he finds himself inside a heated cave with hot springs. He also finds some Pokemon inside and captures them.

Ash's New Capture in Chrysolia Springs: Simisear (Cave) Clauncher (Fishing)

Ash: Geez...this place sure is hot, I think it is not where we should go right now.

Pikachu nods as they get out of the cave and find another path. After searching for a while, he finds another cave.

Ash: I hope this is the cave where we're supposed to go...

But much to Ash's horror, the cave itself is also a maze, and there are also some Pokemon living inside.

Ash's New Capture in Lost Railcave: Smeargle, Swinub (Cave)

When he goes around the cave, Ash is now frustrated as the cave has been a maze as well.

Ash: What is going on in this place? First, the forest is a maze, and now this railcave is a maze as well!

He is about to lose patience until he finds a lost Pokeball at the dead end. It is an Eevee, and Ash decides to take it with him so that the Eevee will have a home.

After a while of walking in the forest, he finally realizes that some of the trees are teleported away, then he realizes something.

Ash: I see...the trees are mysteriously teleported away...and that's why I feel like I have been here for hours...

Then after some walking, he finally gets to Spinel Town, but some of the things are vanishing and reappearing in different places, much to Ash's surprise.

Ash: What is going on with the town...no matter, I have to go to the Poke Mart...

But just as Ash walks towards the Poke Mart, it just disappears in front of him.

Ash: You gotta be kidding me, where did the Poke Mart go?

As he continues, he also spots a Museum, and Ash realizes that this is the place where fossils are restored, and he manages to restore some of the Fossils in his pocket to have some new Pokemon.

Ash's New Pokemon in Spinel Town: Shieldon, Tirtouga, Anorith, Kabuto, Omanyte, Lileep, Cranidos, Archen (Fossil)

After a while, Ash finally spots the Poke Mart on top of a balcony of a mansion. Ash notices that there is a gym sign at the mansion.

Ash: Wait, this is the gym?

At the same time, a boy walks out of the house. The boy has black and red hair, and he is wearing a dark orange shirt and brown trousers.

?: Luna?! (Looks at Ash) Oh, you're not Luna. Excuse me, I was supposed to investigate the source of a loud noise.

Ash: You mean the Poke Mart on top of the house?

?: (Looks up) That would do it. (Calls inside) Mother, the PokéMart seems to have appeared on top of the house.

?: Say what?

A woman walks out of the house, Ash gasps as the woman looks just like her mother, only that her hair has two colors light blue and pink.

?: ...So it has. That explains why we couldn't get the balcony door open. (Turns to Ash) Hello, who might you be? My name is Serra. I suppose I'm this town's Gym Leader now.

Ash: My name is Ash Ketchum, and this is my buddy Pikachu. We are here for the Poke Mart...

But just as Ash says his name, the woman widens her eyes.

Serra: Wait, your last name is Ketchum?

Ash: Well, I heard from my mom that I was supposed to go with my father's last name, Vanhanen. But I'm going with my mother's last name right now.

Serra gasps, which means the boy in front of her is Zina's son, and tears start to form in her eyes. Ash and Serra's son seem to be confused as to why Serra is acting weird.

Serra: (Wipers her tears) As for the shop... Well, I guess it lives there now. Why don't you come inside? You too, Bennett.

Both boys nod as they enter the room, and Ash is confused as to what is going to happen.


Here is a new chapter, and as you can see, Ash has to go through a lot of maze to get to Spinel Town, and I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be family revelations.
