Chapter 7

It is a day after Ash and Alice disguise as Dean and Whith, right now they are researching every outfit that has appeared in the diary. Alice says, "I noticed that there are only female clothes in the diary, how about we do some male clothes?"

"Well, maybe Dad didn't want to be a model like your mother, however, I am not my Dad, I will like to try being a model as well." Ash says.

"Are you sure, I mean, if you are following the instructions on the diary, there aren't instructions of how to make male outfits." Alice says with concern.

"You don't need to worry about that, male clothes are much easier than female clothes." Ash says, "I thought you know that since you're from a fashion designer family."

"Our family sells traditional clothes like yukata or kimono, they are both male and female." Alice says.

After spending some time working together, they manage to create a couple of male outfits. Ash wears them on and walks like a gentleman, he asks, "So, Alice. How do I look?"

Alice is just staring at him with a blush, Ash knows that Alice must be wooed by him and he decides to snap out of it. "Alice, if you keep staring I'll just walk away."

"No!" Alice says with a loud voice, causing Ash to get surprised, "I mean, you look good in the clothes."

"I am glad." Ash says as they create some more clothes, some of them are even new for the younger generation.

After creating the clothes, they will put them in the castle's closet. When they find out that they can't put any clothes inside the closet any more, Ash chuckles, "I think that we made a bit too much, don't you think?"

Alice smiles, "Don't worry, we can put them online and then sell them to the others. And we can make money out of it. You have to admit, we will have plenty of fans that are waiting for the return of Dean and Whith."

"Online sales sound pretty great, we can try to do that, but we also need to set up a store for it." Ash says. "Fortunately, there is a store located in Lumiose City. It was the flagship store of D&W. I was surprised that even though it was abandoned, nobody tries to get that store back...not even the government."

"But if you go there, that means you have to show yourself to the crowd, right?" Alice asks in worry. "What if someone recognizes you? I don't want you to get hurt again..."

"Don't worry, as Dean and Whith, we are not Ash and Alice. But if we need more security, we just need to wear these." Ash takes out green cloaks as they wear it. With the help of Mew's teleportation, they arrive at the Lumiose City without anyone noticing. They walk towards the store, and they can see how its sign is a dark color and how it is a little broken.

"So this is the store..." Ash says as they see look into the store dusty models and hangers. It is a good thing that the key was attached inside the diary, so they use the key to open the store, only to find it hard to breathe because of the air.

"Geez, I know this place hasn't open for years, but this sure is dusty." Alice says while coughing at the same time.

"Don't worry. I have a Legendary Pokemon to help me." Ash says as he sends out a Shaymin, who mutters, "What is this place? It seems like it hasn't cleaned before."

"That's why I ask you for help. Can you use Seed Flare?" Ash asks.

"Leave it to Shaymin." Shaymin says as the air inside the store is cleaned, Shaymin says, "Are you grateful for Shaymin?"

"Very grateful, thank you, Shaymin." Ash says as he recalls him. Alice says, "Now how are we going to get the clothes?"

Ash says, "We can use it with this Pokemon's help." Then he sends out Hoopa, who creates the ring to let them transport from the Sevestar Island to the store. It takes them some time to put the clothes back into the store, and once it is done, they decide to open the store tomorrow.

The two of them clean up the other stuff in the store, Ash decides to find some aromas for the store, so he purchases a lot of incense to increase the fragrance in the store. But as he is going back to the store, he notices a Budew injured on the road and much to his anger, no one stops by the see if the Pokemon is okay.

Ash decides to help the Pokemon and he asks, "Hey there, are you okay?"

The Budew looks a little scared of Ash, but Ash just touches the Pokemon, and then it is cured without any injuries. "What did you just do? I'm healed." Budew asks.

"I gave you some of my healing powers so that you can recover. I am an Aura wielder and I can't stand seeing Pokemon hurt." Ash says as she is amazed. "How did you get injured?"

"A Houndour hurt me." Budew says, "And it just left me alone here with no one helping me."

"You don't deserve this, why don't you come with me? I can take you to my place?" Ash says as the Budew nods.

After bringing her back to the clothes shop, Alice notices the Budew and she asks, "Where did that Budew come from?"

"I saved her from being hurt." Ash says. "Budew, this is Alice, she is my girlfriend."

Budew nods and Alice decides to give her a PokePuff, and she likes it because of the taste. "It is a good thing that my sister wants to be a Grass Type Trainer, so I know which PokePuff suits for Grass Type."

"You sure did a good job, Alice." Ash says.

"So Ash, since your Pokemon left you, which means that you didn't have Pokemon, right?" Alice says. "I think that this Budew can be your friend."

Ash asks, "Really?" Budew also nods as she wants to be Ash's Pokemon. Ash hugs the Pokemon tight, and then he captures the Pokemon.

Once the store seems to be ready, Ash turns to Alice, "What do you think?"

"This place is wonderful, even though it is different from my mother's store..." Alice says.

"You're right about that." Ash says. "But right now we should wait for a while so that we can finally open the store. What do you think we should do right now?"

Alice says, "You know, since we are having these disguises, how about we try to capture Pokemon for our disguises?"

"What do you have in mind?" Ash asks.

"Even though I have been training Ice-type Pokemon, the truth is that I want to train more than one type of Pokemon." Alice says. "For our disguises, don't you think maybe Grass-type is a good idea?"

"Traning Grass-type Pokemon...that sounds interesting." Ash says as he looks at Budew, who seems to be interested in the idea. Ash frowns, "Besides Budew, I do have some Grass-type Pokemon back in Professor Oak's lab...I don't know if I can just take them since they were influenced by the Control Clouds..."

"How about we capture new ones instead? Like the Budew you have there." Alice asks. "And that reminds me, please lend me your Pokedex."

Ash nods as he hands over the phone, which is now his Pokedex, and then Alice tries to hack into the data, once it is done, Alice says, "There, now we have created a new location, so that after capturing 6 Pokemon, they'll just send to the ranches in the Sevestar Island instead."

"You're a genius, Alice." Ash says with a smile. "You really are amazing."

Alice blushes and says, "It is nothing, anything for you."


At the same time, Professor Oak was trying to locate Ash by using the Pokedex, but he can't read anything from it. Tracy asks, "How is it, Professor?"

"It is no use. The record of Ash's Pokedex says that the last location is at the river near Viridian City, it was also where Ash jumped into when we were controlled by Team Rocket."

"Do you think it is possible that Ash turned off the GPS location in the Pokedex so that nobody will be able to find out?" Tracy asks.

"I hope that's the case..." Professor Oak says, but at this moment, he notices something on the computer with surprise. "What is going on?"

When both the Professor and the assistant look into the computer, they find that Ash has 14 new captures, but there is no Pokemon sent to the lab, and they can't find out what Pokemon he caught or where the Pokemon was caught.

"14 new captures, that instant?" Tracy asks. "And more importantly, how come the 7th or more Pokemon didn't send to the lab?"

"He must have set up a new transfer location." Professor Oak says, "But without knowing anything, this is a hard job."


Back in the Sevestar Island, Ash and Alice have told Arceus about everything, and he gives them 13 Grass-type eggs for the two of them. After hatching the eggs, there are two Oddish, a Seedot, a Cacnea, a Tropius, a Petilil, a Deerling, a Chespin, a Skiddo, a Morelull, a Bounsweet, a Grookey, and an Applin.

"Cool...all of them are Grass-type Pokemon." Alice says.

"Every one of these Grass-type Pokemon is special." Arceus says. "Raise them with care, and you can be the strongest Grass-type specialists."

"Thank you, Arceus." Ash and Alice bow.

Now with the Pokemon helping them out, they manage to finally open the store: D&W. Once the rolling shutters are rising up, it catches a lot of people's attention, and they can't believe what they are looking at.

"Isn't that D&W? I thought they have closed 15 years ago." One person says.

"Does that mean they're opening again?" Another one says.

And when Alice as Whith opens the door, she notices a lot of people watching her with surprise and shock. "Is that the model Whith?"

"No way! She looks so young! Just like 15 years ago!" Another person says.

Alice looks at Ash, who gives her a nod. Alice smiles and says, "We are the next generation of Dean and Whith and we want to restart the business of what the first generation has left off."

The crowd cheers as they all enter the store, some old customers are happy to see the clothes bring back old memories, and some of them are surprised to see new clothes and even outfits for males. The new customers are attracted by how Dean and Whith look in the costumes and they want to try them out themselves. Business is booming as Ash and Alice are happy about it.

"So this is how our parents feel when they open the clothes store..." Alice says in awe. "I never knew it is wonderful."

"I agree." Ash says.

The Grass-type Pokemon of Ash and Alice are also helping Ash out with the outfits, and that gives Ash the time to come out and greet the other customers. That way, he can learn more about his father from the old customers and try to be more like him. As for the old customers, they are sad to hear how the first Dean died and they have high expectations from his son and the new Whith.

After the day is over, the two of them close the store and Alice says, "It is a success, right? Dean?"

"I agree, Whith." Ash smiles at his girlfriend. "But seeing how popular we are, I think that your mother might be finding out about it. Why don't you use your Double Team and go find her?"

"Are you sure?" Alice asks as Ash nods. Then Alice copies herself and then uses Hoopa to teleport back to Laverre City.


Here is a new chapter, as you can see, Ash and Alice will be having new Pokemon into the team, and mostly from Arceus himself, since I am writing how Ash and Alice work their dreams together. I hope you like this chapter.
