Chapter 83 Back to Reborn

Inside of a building, Ace walks to a computer and he has made a decision, he has promised Taka that he is going to get rid of Lin from Team Meteor.

Ace: Let's waste no time. Solaris should return any moment, and it is best the message reaches him before he has more decisions to make.

Then he starts to type on the computer so that Solaris can read it.

"Dearest friend and commander of the stars, Before I properly begin, I would like to iterate that I am keenly aware it is not my station to question your judgments. Indeed, I hope you will kindly recall my steadfast and loyal servitude to the family throughout these long several years. It is thus in mind of my prior fidelity that I urge you consider my words here not as a slight of your judgment, but as a caution of due and earned respect. If left unchecked, Lin will undo the family we've worked so tirelessly to hold together. She believes her unfailing effectuality grants her immunity, and I fear she may soon be correct. She has made no small number of motions against our own behind the curtain for some while already. She only grows bolder with the passage of time, most recently going so far as to threaten the life of your own son. She has no respect for all that the little prince is- both your heir, and our hope for the greater future. In fact, I believe his removal would suit her quite directly. The family and its history are the core of our team. Should the lineage falter, then I ask, what still gives you full control and rights beyond the shadow of a legacy? How many of our former friends still remain loyal even now? How many are simply beside us to further their own selfish goals? I beg you to take action and excise Lin from the organization before she taints it any further. With desperation and hope, ~Your ever-faithful fool, Nashira"

Ace: And with that, Send~

But much to his surprise, the room starts to lock up, and the computer screens start to flash the words GAME OVER on Ace.

Ace: W-what is-

Just then, the whole room went black, and nobody can hear a scream from the magician.


Ash, Serena, and Lillie are back at Opal Ward, and Ash can't believe what he has seen, the whole city has become clean, there aren't any cracks, gloomy skies, and seas, it is just like a place where people will want to visit.

Ash: Wow, all of you guys did this? This is amazing.

Serena: Yeah, do you like it?

Ash: Of course...this is really reborn...

When they get into the Grand Hall, he is delighted to find Delia and Ame.

Delia: Ash! You're back!

Ash: Hello again, Mom. And Ame, too.

Ame: Hello, but just a second, please. (Turns back to the counter) Sorry, as I was about to say, please inform Bennett that we accept. He certainly did famously during the trial battle, but something feels weird about the situation. Maybe I'm just hung up on Laura's resignation. But the letter she sent was handwritten, signed, and unquestionably hers...

Ash is confused, Laura wrote a resignation letter? But she said that she was fired, and all this time Ash has been wondering if this is Elias' doing.

Ame: Well, whatever. You can take care of the rest for me, right? Did you get his types?

Secretary: Yes. I'll register and notify him.

Ame: Thank you. (Turns back to Ash) All right. I've got a couple of other things to take care of, but I could use your help. The most important thing is... Well, before I explain, I should bring everyone here. This might take all of us. Adrienn, Victoria, and DJ Arclight are taking care of various things around the city. I'm not exactly sure where they are right now, But you know them, right? You can probably guess where to start. Just tell them to come back here when you find them. I'll be waiting.

Delia: And since you're doing it, why not try to look around the new place for some more? It will be relaxing for you.

Ash: That will be nice. (Turns to Serena and Lillie) How about we all look around the area together?

Serena: That would be great.

In Lower Peridot Ward, Ash is looking around the place in awe, and he also captures a Pokemon in the area. He also greets Mr. Seacrest, and he tells them that one of the workers lost the mulch, so Ash has to find them for him.

Ash's New Pokemon in Lower Peridot Ward: Galvantula (Grass)

Ash: Wow...this place is a Market?

Serena: Why yes, this was the Mosswater Industrial, but now it is Mosswater Market.

Ash: It brings back a lot of memories, I was with Julia and Rini to battle Team Meteor for the first time here...

Then he also greets the woman that gave him the Igglybuff, and Ash returns the Wigglytuff to the woman and in return, she gives him a Luke Incense and a Pixie Plate. And as he continues to go inside, they find the Blackstream Factory becomes Blackstream Shelter. When they check inside, Ash finds Randall, the same person that saved him in Subseven Sanctum, and he tells them that he lost his keys, so Ash decides to help him find the keys.

When Ash goes to Jasper Ward, they are greeted by a girl who has been waiting for them.

Ash: Wait, aren't you Mars? From Team Galactic?

Mars: (Lowers her head) Former. I left that organization a lot of months ago. I came with the others since I want to see you again.

Ash: See me? But wouldn't you hate me because I was the one who has been trying to stop your team's plan...

Mars: The truth is, I was very angry because we worked so hard, but after staying in jail, I have been kinda attracted to you and you were the reason why I have the willpower to stay there until my time is over.

Ash: I see...I'm glad I'm able to help you, and I guess you were found by Serena and the others to help rebuilding the Reborn City?

Mars: Yes. I'm helping with the Jasper Ward, I'll show you around.

Then with Mars showing them around, Ash is surprised to see the Pokemon Center is a hospital in the Reborn Region, and he also finds a woman who lost her ring and wants Ash to find it for her. As for Malchous Forest Park, Ash notices the former gym has become a berry field, and he is delighted to taste one of the berries and finds how fresh they are.

Mars: And that's everything in the Jasper Ward.

Ash: Thanks, Mars, so what are you going to do then?

Mars: I'll wait for you guys at home, since I don't really have a home in Sinnoh, so it would be better if I stay with you guys.

Ash: Sure you're welcome.

Then they share a hug before Mars leaves, and then they go to the Beryl Ward.

Lillie: I was the one that looks over Beryl Ward, but there are some invisible Kecleon's in the way, but never mind them. I also like the library, who will think that a Gothitelle is a librarian in the ward?

Ash: I know. I also helped her with cleaning the mess and that's why she gave me one of the Gothita.

Serena: And that bridge is also famous since you can see the whole Tourmaline Desert right there.

Ash: The truth is...that bridge is where Corey fell off...it is really sad. Speaking of which, I have this Silver Key and maybe I should try using it in his gym...there must be a way in, right?

Then they get into the Beryl Ward Gym, and they are now looking around at the area.

Lillie: So this was the home of the Elite Four member, the same one that you adopted as a sister?

Ash: Yeah. (Notices the secret room and a diary) I think I should read this...

"For Heather, By the time you read this, you will be strong. I was not raised to be strong. I was raised to be naive, and I suffered for it. I shall not make this same mistake with you. Reality is cruel. This, I learned the hard way. This, you have grown to learn from the second you were born. I told you long ago how she passed. I did not mention who was responsible for it. Team Meteor sought to cleanse the city and restore it to its former heritage- a holy site. To this end, they take no prisoners. I was forced to join their ranks, but I did so to sabotage them. Specifically, I sought the head of the man who killed your mother. He was after an artifact I foolishly bestowed upon her. He saw her life as a small price to pay for it. I will see to it that he pays what's due in his own blood. If you will join me, I will have you. It is your right as her daughter. The man ended her life in poison. When I discovered her IV was laced, I struck out. One of the few things I can still take pride in is that man's scream as he pulled the syringe from his bleeding eye. He lived, but his wound is a mark on his life. Since then, I coveted the venom that ended Elena's life. From it, I have made poisons to corrupt. Poisons to control. And poisons to deliver retribution upon the guilty. My beautiful daughter, I could not be more proud of you for inheriting all of her friends, her strengths, and her passions. Someday, we will settle this together."

Ash: Wow...so this is Corey's life...it is sad...

Lillie: I have heard from Ms. Ketchum about this person, he was a former Gym Leader, right?

Ash: Yeah. I battled him and trust me, it is not that easy.

After getting outside, they go to the Beryl Cemetery, and they find Victoria kneeling in front of Kiki's Grave.

Victoria: Oh! (Hugs Ash) Ash, are you really back? I've heard about a lot of things happening up in Carnelia, and I was really worried! But of course, you're just fine. You always are, right?

Ash: Yeah. A lot of things happened. How about you?

Victoria: We always are. I was just saying "Hello." "It's been a while." And... "Did you find the peace you were looking for?"

Ash: I think this city finally has.

Victoria: I wish I could say the same. Trying to take over the Academy has been...Well, they're not shoes I'm capable of filling. It's never going to be the same without her, but then it's thanks to her sacrifice that it even still exists. So I've been thinking, how can the place continue to grow? It turns out the answer wasn't to tear ourselves away from Reborn City as we did before, but to give ourselves to it. Many of our students have been very involved in helping bring everything together here. But, that's just the answer I found. If she were still here- Well, if she were still in charge, I think her answer would have been different. I'm sorry, I'm just going off about things like always.

Ash: It's fine. By the way, Ame wants to meet us for some reason.

Ame: So Ame is looking for me? I wonder if she has another project for the students. All right, I'll go meet her soon. Thank you for telling me. For now, I just want another moment here. Um, Ash? (Blushes) Well, It's good to see you again.

Ash smiles, and Serena and Lillie can also tell that this girl might be also one of the harems as well, and they might be able to get along well.


And here is a new chapter, as you can see, Ace is now gone, and you'll not be seeing him until the postgame. And I have to write everything you can do in the new Reborn City first before getting back to Meteor business. I hope you like this chapter.
