Bonus Chapter Part 4
(Clair)
Clair: (Puts the handcuff on the poacher's hands) You are now under arrest.
Ash and Clair are now at Labradorra City as they arrest another poacher in the area. Ever since Lin's battle, Ash has had the International Police offer Clair a position in the ranks, and they have been doing well as partners for crimes.
Ash: (After seeing the helicopter leaves with the poacher) I guess this is the last poacher that we need to find in this area.
Ash is now wearing a Dragon-type outfit as he remembers the time when he goes back to Johto, he also eventually confesses to Clair and she is also a part of the harem. Lance was first surprised when he heard the news, and they have the battle to prove that Ash is worthy for Clair.
Clair: I agree. I can see why my cousin Lance likes to do this kind of stuff.
Ash: By the way, what are you going to do next after this is done?
Clair: It is a good thing that I'm in Labradorra City, Saphira wants to ask me for a rematch at her gym.
Ash: Again? I can see that you two are now going along together for a while.
Clair: Can't blame us because we both specialize in Dragon-Types. But Saphira is actually on another level compared to me. Especially since the Dragon's Den Field gives her a lot of advantages.
Ash: Well, I hope that maybe she can hold back on you for once to let you win.
Clair sighs as they bid farewell while Ash has to go back to the Reborn City.
(Delia)
Ash: I can't believe I've agreed to come back to this place...
Ash mutters as both he and Delia are now back in the Kanto Region's house. But this time, Noel, Anna, Heather, and even Lin are with them.
Anna: So this is where you have been staying during these years! It is so cool.
Lin: A little shabby, but nice.
Ash: We don't need a big house since we only have two people to stay in. (Looks out the window) And that place is Professor Oak's Lab.
Heather: The same Professor that forces you to give up your dream, right?
Ash: I'm already over that. I mean, he just doesn't want me to get hurt because of the Legendaries.
Lin: Are those legendaries stronger than the ones I created with puppy?
Ash: Much stronger, that's why they are not catchable compared to the ones WE created.
Noel: (Sighs) I still can't believe you would try to adopt her into our family...
Delia: She just wants to be loved, that's why we are giving her a home.
Heather: I don't know what your deal is, but my only deal with her is the fact that she slammed me into the tree back before my birth father is still there.
Lin: C'mon, I had to do the edgy villain role.
Ash: Anyway. Since they are also coming to this house, I want you guys to behave in front of them.
Ash's former traveling companions, Ash has already forgiven all of them and being friends with them again, but he was still wary of them because who knows that they might be doing it again.
(Elias)
Elias: Do tell me if I can get you anything else.
Ash is now sitting at the Night Club with Elias making some beverages for him to drink. At the same time, Adrienn also comes into the bar.
Elias: Mx. Flores, would you care to join us?
Adrienn: Ah, why not? (Walks to the seat beside Ash) I can spare a few minutes at the least.
Elias: What can I get you this evening?
Adrienn: Something light, please. I prefer to have my wits within arm's reach.
Elias: For our esteemed vice-director, perhaps a rose wine, with a strawberry accent and pea flower flourish. (Puts the glass on the table) Shall I put it on the rocks?
Adrienn: If you would, please.
Elias: (Pours the liquor into the glass before giving it to Adrienn) It is yours to enjoy.
Adrienn: Much appreciated~ When we first met, I wouldn't exactly have taken you for the bartending type. How did you get into something like this?
Elias: It is, perhaps, an expected answer. My former master bade me learn the basics, that I might better serve him in the realm of leisure too ...That is what I had thought before, but I cannot help but believe now, perhaps he requested this not for his service, but that in partaking of my craft, I might lower my own inhibitions. I might find the closeness I falsely believed I was barred from. Vinum et amici laetificant cor. It is too late for him to see it now, but I believe he may have been right. As a humble servant left in this world, I suppose I simply have faith that it is so, and that a moderate knowledge and practice of mixing might go the mile to brightening another's day. (Turns to Ash) It is especially so, should that be the time of my Lord.
Adrienn: ...Ah, you do know that Ash isn't actually an Arceus, right? That was just a rumor Julia started. Ash has even dealt with the actual Arceus by now...
Ash hasn't told Adrienn about him actually being Arceus after the battle with Lin, but he decides to keep it a secret that only a few of them know. He is also happy for Elias as he is trying to do better with his skills and also his relationship with Luna. A lot of the people are still worry about Elias considering that he was close to Solaris, who was the leader of Team Meteor until Lin took over, but Ash knows about Elias' past and he understands that he's trying to change himself.
Elias: I am aware of both of these things, in fact. But I ask, what difference does it make? For some, the Lord is in the sky. Others, in the heart. For an old man past his prime with little left but the time to find peace, I find the Lord in the bonds and triumphs shared in close company. We find God in our friends that we might have each other to cherish. It is here in these moments that we know we are not alone, sola fide. What more can faith ask for?
Adrienn: An English translation, perhaps...
Elias: Ahah. Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur. That is the way of things, after all.
(Eve)
Eve: This is the girl you told me about?
Eve is now a doctor as they are both at the Jasper Ward Pokemon Center, Ash brings a girl so that Eve can take care of her.
Lass: Oh, hi! Are you the nurse?
Ash: She is actually the doctor.
Lass: Oh! (Surprised) At your age?
Eve: It's in progress. But if you really want your problem fixed, I'm the best person for the job. The clinic knows that too. Now, how can I help you?
Lass: Er, so... To get right to it, back when the lake was still pretty filthy, my Ducklett ran into it, and when I tried to rescue him, I ended up falling in too. (Ducklett jumps onto the table) Just for a second! But I swallowed some of the murk, and, well, I've had a recurring cough since. It comes and goes, but... My friends finally convinced me to see someone about it. Do you know how hard it is to find a good Doctor in this region? And especially with the insurance situation! There was one guy who was offering off-market pharmaceuticals, but apparently, he's gone now. And every other search just turns up some old psychiatrist who went missing. Anyway, I've been concerned, because my Ducklett- (Notices that the Ducklett is now on the table) Huh? Hey, get - come here!
The lass holds the Ducklett in her arms, as she doesn't want it to get away.
Lass: Just, sometimes he sounds a little hoarse too.
Eve: Well, I'm sure we can do something. I'll have you both follow me upstairs. Say, how does your Ducklett feel about Shaymin?
Lass: (Surprised) Shaymin?! You have one here?
Eve: (Brings the Patient to the office) No. Not just one.
Ash smiles at Eve, since the whole Team Meteor and other stuff, Lumi is finally cured of her sickness and Eve decides to be the doctor in the end, she also has the 4 Shaymin from the Idyll of Penanceance to help her out, since the Seed Flare and the new PULSE really helps a lot of patients. She is also dating Zero, and Lumi is supporting their relationship.
(Fern)
Ace Trainer: Man, I was so sure this was gonna be the time, too!
Fern: You fought well. Don't be too hard on yourself. Decidueye, return.
Ash and Fern are now at the Neoteric Isle, and Fern is having a challenger there.
Ace Trainer: It was going great- how did I still wipe?!
Fern: Hey. Easy there. Rather than just freaking out over it, let's think about what you can do better. Firstly, to be fair to you, I got a lucky crit in. More importantly, though, that was a strong showing at the start. I can tell you really took what I said last time about creating pressure from the outset to heart. Without time to set screens, I was really sweating this time, at least at first. And honestly? I was hoping you'd pull it off! You've worked hard- you deserve that badge any day now. But I wouldn't be worth my salt even as the newest Leader if I just let you have it. Nah, you lost your momentum because you hard switched into your Fire-Type rather than just sacking your initial sweeper. That's your only direct resist, so the switch damage meant I knew I could just trickshot with Sucker Punch and then sweep. You've gotta have a plan to deal with each of your opponents' 'Mons, and know when to let go to make it happen.
Ace Trainer: Right, that's only reasonable...
Fern: Chin up. Each time we've fought has been closer. I really thought you had it this time. But on the next fight, I bet this badge is as good as yours. Don't you give up before then, got it?
Ace Trainer: Yeah... You're right. Next time for sure!
Fern: I'm looking forward to it. Now go take care of your partners.
Ace Trainer: You bet! (Leaves)
Since Florinia decides to resign her position as the Grass-Type Gym Leader, Fern was the reserved Grass Leader, a lot of people are worried about his attitude before, but Ash has had faith in his ever since Lin's battle, and he has been doing a good job as it.
Fern: I'd say I've settled in well enough. I'm lucky that Nia wanted to move on. What do you think? This feels good. Even when I lose- No, especially when I lose... That one, right there? I can't wait to see the look on her face when she finally wins. And it's gonna be the same for me too, you know? That is when I finally come for your Champion title!
Ash: Sure, but don't think it'll be that easy.
And this is another new bonus chapter, one thing I am going to say is that I'm not going to add Ash's former travel companions in this since I already have 45 of them in mind. And with this chapter, there are only 25 left. I hope you like this chapter.
