Chapter 61

When Ash and the others go back to Pallet Town, they are immediately recognized by the others. Everyone is happy to see Ash returning home, but they are frightened to see Insey with him. Delia is also there as she greets them. Before they can talk about it, they hear a person says, "Why is the Bug Witch with Ash Ketchum?" "Is she going to hurt us?" "She is a bad luck bringer! We're doomed!"

Delia notices Insey with them and she is frowning a lot, she asks, "Ash? Is that Insey? Where did you find her?"

"We found her in the forest." Ash says. "Insey here has done nothing wrong, she is indeed extraordinary since she could befriend Bug Type Pokemon, but she never wanted to harm everyone. But yet, she has to be called the Bug Witch by everyone else. I can't tolerate it and that's why we are going to help her investigate the whole thing."

"Insey? Is that you?" Insey's blood boils as she glares at the woman and the man walking toward her. They are Insey's parents, and from what she told them, they are poachers. Insey says, "Well if it isn't Mom and Dad. What brings you here?"

"Weren't you being banished from entering Pallet Town? How did you get in?" Ash and the others can see that behind their mask of happiness, they are angry to see her here again.

"I have the World Champion helped me." Insey says. "And you're not my parents anymore. You have disowned me and accused me of being the evil Bug Witch who tries to terrorize Pallet Town!"

"Insey, I am sorry, we aren't thinking right, we..." The man says.

"Save your sorries, I have to live alone because of you guys! Right now Ash Ketchum has some business to do with me and leave us alone." Insey says.

The woman gets angry and says, "Is that how you talk to your parents? Where are your manners?"

"Why would I show my manners to you two?" Insey says with a cold tone. "You guys are poachers!"

Everyone gasps at what Insey said, the man and the woman in front of her are actually poachers, Ash says, "And Insey came to us so we can file an arrest on you two."

Both poachers are shocked as they are now furious. The man says, "Then you're coming with us no matter what!"

He tries to grab her arm, but Minami quickly jumps in and slashes the arm away. Minami says, "If you want to get her, then you should go past us."

Golly says, "Indeed. As members of the International Police, you two are under arrest for illegal hunting."

The whole ruckus causes Gary, Tracy, and Professor Oak to also come out of the lab as well. Professor Oak asks, "What's going on here?"

Gary looks in the direction and he says, "Is that Ash? And he seems to be fighting two people with others..."

And after a while, they see police cars arrive and the police also assist Ash and the others to hold the poachers down. Both of them are screaming as they are dragged inside.

"Insey, are you alright?" Ash asks after seeing the police cars drive away. "They didn't hurt you, did they?"

"No, I'm fine. Thank you for arresting them, I really want to see them rot in hell." Insey says with a small smile.

"Your birth parents are really mean." Alice sighs. "I mean, accusing you to be the evil Bug Witch? Who in the right mind would do that?"

Ash says, "Speaking of which, so what about our offer?"

Insey smiles and says, "With what happened today, I feel really secure with you guys around. I want to be a part of your family."

Ash smiles as he turns to his mother and says, "Then she will be your new mother, is that okay with you?"

Insey smiles as Delia hugs her new child, and Golly says, "Well, because of the arrest of those poachers, I'll be leaving to do some testimonies and confessions in Insey's place."

Ash and the others nod as Golly leaves, but then they hear a voice, "So what is going on here?"

They turn to see Professor Oak, Tracy, and Gary. Ash sighs and says, "Professor. It is nice to see you again."

"So it really is you, Ashy Boy." Gary tries to do his usual smirk, but the pressure from Ash causes him to stop immediately as he yells, "Stop calling me that name. I don't like it."

After calming a little, he says, "But it is good to see you again, Gary, and you too, Tracy."

"Ash, where have you been during these years? Your Pokedex has been turned off and your Pokemon were suddenly gone missing..."

"They were by my side." Ash says. "You don't need to worry about it. However, I turned off my Pokedex after I fell into the river at that time. And I have changed my Pokemon Transfer location so that they can stay with me in my hideout."

"We know what happened and we knew what we've said. I know what I said hurt you the most, but I didn't want you to be in despair because of the continuous loss."

"Indeed. Ashy Boy, it is true that I was jealous of you, so I did want to get rid of you, but now I realized that you are my best friend, having you gone feels not right." Gary sighs.

"I don't know what I've said...but whatever it is, I'm really sorry about it." Tracy sighs.

"Don't worry, Tracy, you were actually back at Professor Oak's lab, so we never got to talk." Ash says. "It has been 9 years since that happened, and I really don't want to hold any more grudges. So I'll forgive you all. By the way, Professor. I haven't introduced you to my girlfriend, Alice, right?"

"We have heard a lot from you, some of them from the movie." Professor Oak says, "It is nice to meet you."

"Well, besides Gary, since he is dating my sister, it is nice to meet you." Alice says as she shakes hands with Professor Oak and Tracy.

"Actually...we broke up a year ago and we haven't talked since." Gary frowns, "She told me that she had a heart attack and she didn't want to drag me down with this."

"Oh, about that, her heart attack is actually healed with the help of Doctor Gus." Ash says. "But she didn't tell you about it?"

Gary is surprised and he shakes his head with slight anger, "Is it true? She is fine? Why didn't she call me and tell me the news?"

"I don't know." Alice frowns, "But now that I thought about it... when I was asking her about your relationship, she has been avoiding the topic for a lot..."

Ash says, "Maybe you should try to contact her and see if your relationship can be healed. After all, you broke up because she was afraid of her heart attack."

Gary nods as he leaves since he wants to talk to Eve alone. As for Professor Oak, he says, "So how are you doing, Ash? I heard that you made a bet with Mr. Goodshow for the PLA and right now you have won 5 Leagues in a row. I want to know why you want to take the PLA?"

Ash says, "Simple, I was a little unsatisfied with the welfare in PLA, and with the International Police's help, we have found some corruption inside. And finally, we are creating our own Sevestar Region and we wish not to be put under PLA's control."

"Hold on, you're creating a region?" Tracy asks. "So that is where you were hiding? The Sevestar Island?"

"You're right, we are going to make it into a Sevestar Region." Ash says. "We have already found 17 gym leaders and 4 Elite four members, but we are missing a Bug-Type one."

"You don't need to worry about that. I'm a Bug-type specialist." Insey says. "I would like to help out as well."

"I see, Minami told you everything." Ash says with a smile, "I'm glad you're willing to help out."

"Hold on, you mean 18 gym leaders? But isn't the official gym amount 8?" Tracy asks.

"That's why I want to take over PLA." Ash sighs. "All of the Gym Leaders and Elite Four will be trained by me. And they get to create their own place for the gym."

"That sounds ideal. And I assume you also found your regional Professor?" Oak asks.

"Yes, Professor Eve is going to help us out." Ash says as he smiles at Alice, who smiles back. Then Ash realizes something, and he says, "That reminds me, we have to go back to the Sevestar Island so we can give an Aura Test to Insey."

"Aura Test?" Insey is confused, and after a short explanation, Insey wants to try it out even though it might kill her. After that, they bid farewell to Professor Oak and Tracy, and they head back to Sevestar Island. As for Chloe, she wants to come with them as she wants to see the island where Ash is staying.


When Ash is giving Insey the test, Alice heads into the room and she finds Eve hugging her mother with joy. Alice asks, "Am I missing something? Wait, is Sister Eve crying?"

Eve notices Alice as she stops crying, Valerie says, "Well, Eve just had a call with Gary Oak. Both of them decide to rekindle their relationship ever since it ended a year ago because of Eve's heart attack."

"I assume you have played a part in this?" Eve asks.

"Well, he did ask me about you. Since he is really depressed when we met." Alice sighs. "Anyway, we have some news, Ash is now having another family member as he is doing the aura test."

"Really? Does that mean the new person is a Bug-type user? The only one we haven't found?" Eve asks.

"Yes. She was also called the Bug Witch." Alice chuckles a little as they head outside, only to see Insey looking like Minami and Golly, and how she gets a Pheromosa from Arceus along with Butterfree, Heracross, Centiskorch, Forretress, and Araquanid.

"Now since you're a part of our group, I present you this, the Pendant with the Key Stone, you can use it with your Heracross." Ash says.

"Thank you, Brother Ash." Insey smiles.

While the others get to know Insey, Ash also asks Arceus to give him some Bug Type Pokemon, and then they pick Butterfree, Venomoth, Pinsir, Ariados, Scizor, Ninjask, Volbeat, Illumise, Vespiquen, Yanmega, Leavanny, Crustle, Accelgor, Vivillon, Araquanid, Golisopod, Frosmoth, Kleavor, and a Genesect and a Buzzwole.

After the meet and greet, Ash has Insey create her own town for her gym, and she also created another forest which is close to the Emerald Jungle that Flora created, she named it Bugger Forest, and the town is actually created between both forests. Because Insey lived in the wild after being disowned by her birth parents, she liked the tree houses and she made the town as primitive as it can be.

"Looks like the region is finally complete." Ash says, "I can't wait to look around our progress."

"Me too." Alice says. "But first, you have a Galar League to win."


Here is a new chapter, and as you can see, Ash and Alice get Insey into the team and the whole Sevestar Region is complete. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be their Bug Type disguises.
