Chapter 45
A few months later since Ash forgave Clemont and Bonnie, Ash has been challenging the rest of the gyms, starting with Alice's parents, who really give Ash a hard time, but lose to him in the end, and then the Elite Four, eventually David and Elline's parents, Seibold and Diantha.
Diantha is having a Mega Gardevoir on the field, while Ash has Greninja in its Ash-Greninja form. Ash yells, "Greninja! Finish with Night Slash!"
Greninja charges at Gardevoir, who is now helplessly on the ground because of the previous Water Shuriken attack. And then Greninja defeats Gardevoir in the end.
"Gardevoir is unable to battle..." The referee and the crowd are shocked, but Diantha doesn't seem to be that surprised. She smiles and says, "Well done, Ash. You and Ash-Greninja really improve a lot. I lost so badly against him."
"You are not bad as well." Ash says as they shake hands with each other.
Goodshow frowns a little as it is Ash's third consecutive win. Four more, and his place in the PLA is not going to continue. Still, Goodshow has to do his work by taking him to the Hall of fame to register.
Once it is done, Alice rushes to Ash and they share a hug, Alice says, "You did it! You are now the Champion of Four Regions!"
"I couldn't have done it without your cheering." Ash says.
"So what is your next region?" Elline asks, still feeling a little sad that Ash beat his mother.
"I was thinking about heading to Johto next." Ash says. "After all, there is something that I have some business I want to do with Lance."
"International Police business, I assume?" Golly asks, "After all, G-men was a part of the International Police that serves the Government."
"Yeah." Ash sighs. "But we also have some good news, the movie: Love from the Darkness is going to be on air this night."
"Awesome! I can't wait to see that movie." David says. "I mean, we did see how you film some of the parts."
"Then let's head back to Sevestar Island. Alexander and Relena are going to build an outdoor movie theater right now." Ash says with a chuckle as they all head back to Sevestar Island.
When they manage to build a small outdoor movie theater, Helen also brings in some movie snacks that are homemade, and every one of them is sitting on the blankets that are on the ground.
"So this film can tell what happened when we're under Team Rocket's control..." Lillie says.
"Yeah, but there are some things that are not that real..." Ash says with a little frown.
When the movie starts, they can see how Ash is running from everyone who is booing him and throwing things at him. Ash also sings a song during the cutscene and the haters and the booers suddenly become back dancers, and some of the memories cut into the song as well.
"Of course, those aren't real. I wouldn't be able to sing a song while being chased by the crowd." Ash chuckles.
"But don't the crew feel that your voice is the same as Jude's voice?" Reisa asks.
"Well, they did feel it similar, but they didn't say anything about it." Ash replies.
After the song, Ash looks up at the clouds and then the river, then he turns around to see the haters charging at him, without any doubt, he jumps into the water like that.
"Those facial features...the betrayed look...they look really real..." Serena says. "How were you feeling when you're feeling this part?"
"Those bad memories are haunting me, it was like I'm experiencing the same thing happening again..." Ash sighs.
Alice says, "Me too. Though it has been a while since I was a shy and timid girl...Ash really changed me a lot."
Then they see how Alice was depressed in school as she is also singing a song, but everyone is ignoring her, and some of the extras are trying to beat Alice up. Of course, it is not real, it is all for the movie.
And when the scene changes to the part where Ash and Alice met, Alice also sings the song and does the same as what happened when they first met. Eve says, "So that was what happened during the blizzard..."
"But did you use a real Articuno for the film?" Bryce asks. "I mean, it was a Legendary Pokemon, and so is Arceus."
"Of course not, if I use them, then it will expose to them the fact that I'm Ash and she's Alice." Ash says. "Even though Director An really wants us to use them, she understands we need to keep a secret."
And when they get into the Team Rocket part, they are surprised to see how Alice and Ash are freeing Pokemon and also having them attack Team Rocket grunts, and how Alice has her Pokemon freeze the grunts in ice.
"Back then your dream was to become an Ice-type master, but now you have been trying to do every other type as well." Flora says.
"Yeah. And here it is...the part where Giovanni and Ash have an aura battle." Alice says as they see how the battle goes.
"They really make an effort with the CGI and other animations. That looks so real." Helen comments.
"Well, to make the effect, we have to ask Diantha for help, she understands we can't reveal ourselves and she offers to show some of the aura moves." Ash says.
When they see Giovanni revealing the whole truth of Control Cloud, they can also see how broken Ash feels when the truth is revealed. And much to their horror, they see how Giovanni aims the gun at Ash, aiming at his head.
"NOOOOO!" Alice in the scene screams in horror as she stops in front of the kneeling Ash. Her hands are outward as they start to form a pink glow, and then the Psychic Ring appears in front of both of them.
"Psychic Ring?!" Giovanni in the scene gasps as the bullet goes through the ring, and the ring appears behind him and the bullet is still going. It then shoots through Giovanni's chest as he widens his eyes in horror before falling limp. With Giovanni being dead, the machine that contains the dark aura also stops moving. Without the dark aura, the control cloud starts to disperse as everyone in the world is starting to return back to normal.
"So this is how you killed Team Rocket's boss?" Eve gasps. "Now that sure is horrifying."
"I know..." Alice says, but blushes after seeing how she kisses Ash on the lips to calm him down, and how she realizes she killed a person and cries on Ash's shoulder.
"Now starting from this is going to be original..." Ash says as they see in the movie, Ash and Alice are back at Sevestar Island.
(Movie Scene)
"Alice, are you alright?" Ash asks with concern, but Alice just mutters, "Leave me alone...I killed a person...I..."
"Alice, you didn't mean to do it. You were trying to protect me, your powers make it backfired, so it is basically he killed himself." Ash says.
"You don't know anything!" Alice yells with a glare, "I have been trying to put up with all the beatings and all the suffering I got...but now I have killed a person...that makes me no better than them...I really don't want to be like them...I really don't deserve to be loved..."
Ash says, "You're wrong, Alice. Your family loves you, your Pokemon loves you, and..." Ash takes a breath and he says, "Even I love you."
Alice just looks at him and she says, "You don't need to lie to me. Why would you love a person like me? You are a World Champion, and I am just a nobody."
Ash sighs as he knew where this is going about, he takes a deep breath and sings, "You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
Fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight."
Alice knows what he is doing and she decides to go in the flow.
"You think it's easy
You think I don't want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all
No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight."
"All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible (it's not impossible)
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours."
Ash says, "You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide."
Alice says, "But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied."
Ash says, "Why are you in denial after I showed my love towards you? I only want you."
Alice cries on the ground, "I am scared...my life was a mess...I really don't want to be hurt again..."
Ash gives her a kiss on the lips, Alice tries to struggle, but she failed. After that, Ash says, "You are my savior, my hero. You aren't a nobody. If your hands are tied, I will untie it."
Alice stares into his eyes and says, "Ash...I am sorry...I don't know what come over me..."
"It is fine, you are scared." Ash smiles. "But I already made my decision. And that is you."
"Me..." Alice mutters as Ash wraps his arm over her. "Only me..."
(Movie Scene ends)
Everyone is squealing at the scene, and Nate says, "Even though I made this part with my style, you two really acted well in this."
Alice is blushing red and says, "I guess so...but I never thought it would be like this..."
Ash says, "But that sure is something that people wanted to see."
The others nod in agreement as they continue to finish the movie.
Here is a new chapter, and this was the result of the movie that Ash and Alice filmed about themselves. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be another OC included.
