Chapter 44
Everyone is shocked at the revelation of what Ash has said. David asks, "Did I forget to mention that? By the way, long time no see, bro."
"Likewise, David. How are you doing these days?" Ash asks.
"Trying to do better with my inventions." David smiles.
Clemont asks, "Hold on, David, you and Ash are cousins? How come I have never heard about this information from both of you before?"
Ash sighs, "We haven't met for a long time until my aunt brought him to our island a few months ago."
"Island? What are you talking about?" Bonnie asks.
Elline says, "What he means is our Sevestar Island. Ash and Alice are now having a project of creating their own region, that's why he has been gathering students, so he can train them to become the future gym leaders and Elite Four members."
David says, "Both Elline and I are invited, as we will become Steel and Electric Gym Leaders in the region. Elline's gym is on an artificial island outside of the region, and mine is actually in the middle of the region."
Alice says, "Because you want to make a Lumiose City in our region, and trust me, that is very tiring."
"Indeed, I just want my own version of Mauville City." Elline chuckles.
Bonnie sighs, "Okay, my head is going to explode. So you mean Ash is now creating a region, with David and Elline, as well as all of you guys play a part in it as Gym Leaders or Elite Four?"
"Except for Serena, as she is not interested in both, and Alice is going to be the Champion along with Ash." Mark adds.
"But how is that even possible? I mean...to find an unknown island and then convert it into a region?" Clemont asks. "With scientific facts, without population and time that is more than a decade, a city wouldn't even be formed..."
"Of course we know about this. That's why we have all the Legendary Pokemon helping us." Ash says, "And I mean every single one of them."
"Even Squishy?" Bonnie asks. Serena says, "Even Squishy."
"Maybe we can show you around sometime. By the way, David, how about a full battle right here right now?" Ash asks.
"You're on." David says.
Alice says, "You do your battle, I'm going to train Pokemon."
"I'll come with you." Elline says.
"Hold on, don't you two want to see the results of the battle?" Clemont asks in confusion.
"There is no need, we already know the conclusion." Alice says.
"Because, unlike you guys, we are skilled aura users." Elline says.
After they leave, Mark says, "What they said was right, though I just want to stay here because of Serena."
"How sweet of you." Serena says with a smile.
In the private training ground at David and Elline's house, Alice is now sending out all the Steel Type Pokemon: Alolan Sandslash, Alolan Dugtrio, Forretress, Steelix, Aggron, Metagross, Empoleon, Magnezone, Probopass, Escavalier, Ferrothorn, Klinklang, Galarian Stunfisk, Bisharp, Aegislash, Klefki, Perrserker, Copperajah, and the Legendary or Mythical: Melmetal and Solgaleo.
Elline says, "How many Pokemon did you and Ash have? I mean, you guys have 10 Pokemon each for a type."
"If you count like that, we are going to have 360 species of Pokemon in the end." Alice says. "But don't worry, we love every one of the Pokemon, and every one of the Pokemon respect us."
"That is true." Elline says. "I have seen them back in the Sevestar Island, and they all did a good job working together with training or other things."
"I guess you're right." Alice says. "By the way, since we are training Steel-type Pokemon, maybe we should train it with my Relena disguise."
"That's a good idea. After all, it looks more suitable for training these Pokemon." Elline adds.
Back with Ash and the others, David's Copperajah, Aegislash, Steelix, Jirachi, Probopass, and Alolan Dugtrio are knocked out by Ash's Pikachu and Charizard alone. David says, "No wonder you are the World Champion, I guess you've not lost a battle since that incident, right?"
"Yeah." Ash sighs. "I was just wanting to win all the other leagues so that I can finally take over the PLA."
"Hold on." Bonnie asks, "Ash? We saw the news about how you made a bet with Mr. Goodshow. Is it true that you're betting your World Champion title for his PLA? Why do you want PLA so badly?"
"Three reasons." Ash says. "1, I want to make it a company where everyone can have more welfare than it is right now. 2, I want to use its power to make our island into an official region. And finally, I just dislike Mr. Goodshow still being the president and I want him down."
"Why do you want him down from the seat?" Clemont asks, only to shiver at Ash's cold glare. "Nobody messes my family and gets away with it, even if he is under Team Rocket's control."
David says, "Ash, calm down. You don't really need to be angry at that..."
"Yeah. Sorry about that." Ash says, "I guess I'll go find Alice now."
"We'll come with you." Serena and Mark also leave with Ash. Now Clemont, Bonnie, and David are alone and Clemont asks, "What does Ash mean Mr. Goodshow hurt your family?"
David sighs as he unbuttons the top bottom of his shirt, and he reveals a scar almost at the neck. The siblings gasp in surprise at the huge scars. Bonnie asks, "What happened?"
"Let's say that we are aura users, so we won't be affected by Team Rocket's control. My mother is a Champion, and Team Rocket didn't want Ash to get any help. So that's why Mr. Goodshow came to our house, hold the knife onto me and my sister's neck, we could've been dead if my mom didn't give in."
"No wonder he hates Goodshow..." Clemont frowns, "Hold on, your mother is Diantha? Diantha is Ash's aunt?"
"Of course." David says. "Let's say our mother suffered before we were even born, that's why she never revealed to Ash about her being his aunt. And we just got reunited a few years ago."
"I see." Bonnie says. "I think we should also find Ash as well. Where are they?"
David says, "They are at my house. It is not far from here."
When they arrive at the place, they see everyone else except for Ash and Alice, instead, the ones staying with them are two people who have white hair. "Alexander and Relena?! Is that really you?!"
Clemont suddenly becomes a fanboy as he rushes toward the two people. The boy says, "Clemont, relax, it is me, Ash, and my girlfriend Alice."
As they change back, Bonnie asks, "How did you two do that? I mean, you changed into two different people..."
"We have something called Aura Disguise." Alice says. "It is actually something we really like to do. We disguise ourselves into different people so that we can do anything we want."
"The problem is that we can only disguise ourselves as people who aren't actually existing, meaning I can't disguise as Alice or vice versa." Ash says.
"But how did you disguise yourselves as Alexander and Relena? They are two famous inventors of the world and they are also my idols when it comes to inventing things that are amazing." Clemont says.
"I think you're talking about my Dad and Alice' Mom." Ash chuckles a little. "I mean, they are the first Alexander and Relena. We are just using their disguises to keep their legacy going on."
"Hold on, you mean Valerie was Relena?" Serena asks. "I never thought she would be an inventor since she is a famous fashion designer."
"That is very shocking to know..." Bonnie adds.
"Ever since uncle Red was killed, I guess she didn't want to do anything except for fashion designing." David sighs. "But as you can see, Alexander and Relena have asked me to take part in the Invention Duo, and now we are the Invention Trio."
"You're so lucky." Clemont says. "Though with my skills right now. I don't think I can join you guys..."
Just then, they hear the sound of the helicopter, and they rush outside to find the famous director An Lin coming out of the helicopter to greet them. Ash and Alice quickly change themselves into Philip and Elizabeth as they greet her.
"Did Ash and Alice seriously change into another disguise already?" Bonnie asks in confusion.
"This is Philip and Elizabeth. Both of them are Ash and Alice's Electric-type disguises. And they are actors." Serena says.
"How many disguises do they have right now?" Clemont asks.
Mark says, "Right now they have 12 disguises."
Clemont and Bonnie are shocked to learn the news, and they decide to see what Ash and Alice are doing. Just then, the two of them change back into Ash and Alice.
"No matter how many times we've filmed, your disguise as Ash and Alice never cease to amaze me." An says.
"We're flattered." Alice says.
Clemont asks Elline, "Can't the director see through their disguises? I mean...they don't need to disguise themselves as Ash and Alice for movie filming, right?"
"The director knows the disguise, but the other people, like the crew, don't know." Elline replies. "So she has to act with them so that their disguises won't be exposed."
"I see." Bonnie says, "But what kind of movie are they filming?"
David takes out a book and says, "Here, Love from the Darkness. It is basically a story about Ash and Alice's first meeting, as well as what happened when everyone is under Team Rocket's control."
"There is actually a book about this?" Clemont gasps in shock. "I mean, how come I have never heard about this book?"
"Maybe because you have been staying at your house with your inventions for too long. This book has been a bestseller a lot of years ago when it was just published."
"The author of the book is a person called Nate, I assume he is also one of Ash and Alice's students?" Clemont asks.
"Yes, he is our Normal-type Gym Leader in training." Mark says.
"But I want to know, when did Ash and Alice become famous actors?" Bonnie asks as she sees how Ash and Alice are asking some questions to the director about the script.
"Their first movie is the Thunder Girl, they are asked by another famous director named Tom Wood to be in the movie." David says. "Of course, it is also my sister's debut movie."
"Brother!" Elline blushes a little and Bonnie asks, "Wait, you're also an actress? I mean, your mother is a famous actress, are you going to be like her?"
Elline frowns a little and David coughs, "Bonnie, Elline doesn't like how people treat her because of our Mom. She wants to act because she enjoys it, not because of our family."
"I'm sorry." Bonnie frowns, and Elline sighs, "Don't worry. At least I managed to have a long talk with my mother about this."
"I have watched the movie Thunder Girl, so I assume that the two scientists are actually Ash and Alice?" Clemont asks.
"You're right." Mark says as they continue to watch them filming a movie.
Here is a new chapter, and as you can see, Ash and Alice reveal David's relationship with them and also their Steel Type Pokemon, along with disguises and David's Team. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be the movie filming and also the rest of the gym challenge.
