Chapter 62

After the Sevestar Region is complete, Ash is now challenging the Galar League, and right now he has completed 8 gym badges, and they are riding the train to Wyndon for the League.

"So what did you guys do for the Bug Type disguises?" Eve asks the two people since they are inside the private car, so nobody will be able to hear them. Ash says, "That's an easy question. The truth is, we have set up a cafe in the Alola Region, it is actually a famous brand 25 years ago. It is called "Honey Cafe."

Alice says, "Good thing we have a fridge, maybe you can have some." Alice takes out the Honey Cakes and everyone shares pieces, and they are delighted by the taste of the food.

"Wow, this cake is so delicious." Reisa says.

"I agree...the honey is going to melt my heart..." Max adds.

Insey says, "I'm glad all of you like it, you see, the disguises also belonged to Dad and Ms. Valerie, they are called Katie and Sector."

Eve says, "So this one is another one of Mom's disguises...but now that I've thought about it, Mom and your Dad never had a disguise for chefs like Morris and Paula, so they just opened a Honey Cafe?"

"That's true." Ash says. "My family has already been there once, and they really like the taste of our new desserts, Insey and Serena would also help us with the store as well."

"Interesting." Helen says. "I was wondering if we can work together to have this recipe in our restaurant as well."

"Maybe, that will also gain more attention from people who wanted to try out our honey cakes." Ash says with a smile.

Then they decide to go to Alola Region and opened the Honey Cafe again, with his status as the Alola Champion and the help of his classmates in Trainer's school, they manage to gather a lot of crowds to come to the cafe and taste the sweet desserts, a lot of people are also happy to have the Honey Cafe back with the new generation, as they chat a lot with Ash and Alice about the process.


A few days later, Ash's Gigantamax Pikachu manages to knock Gigantamax Charizard out of the battle, earning his victory against Leon, the current Galar Champion who only lost to Ash. Leon says, "You know, you are the one and the only person who manages to bring me down from the undefeatable Champion, and also the only person I have ever lost to. Congratulations, Ash."

"Thanks, Leon." Ash says. "I hope this battle shows people from Galar that I DID NOT use any drugs or other enhancements to win against you."

"You gave me a great Champion time, I'm sure those who wronged you must have learned your errors." Leon says.

This time Goodshow decided not to show up as Leon is the one bringing Ash to the Hall of Fame, maybe it is because he knows that Ash is going to win the bet and he decides to accept his fate and leaves the seat vacant.

The reporters have been trying to know what's Ash motive in making a bet with Goodshow, but never once does Ash want to tell them the whole truth. One reporter asks, "So Ash Ketchum, according to your bet 6 years ago, you stated that you'll be taking over PLA if you win seven leagues in a row, may I ask why you're doing this?"

Ash sighs and says, "I know you have been wanting to know my reason for six years, but never once have I had to tell you because of my personal issues. The truth is, I have been spending these nine years converting the place I live in to a region: And we named it the Sevestar Region."

The crowd is surprised, as they never knew Sevestar is a place that actually exists. Ash adds, "Yes, the same Sevestar Island from the movie about what happened to me a lot of years ago. Philip and I are good friends, that's why he got my permission to reveal what actually happened to me in a movie. However, the region is still under final inspection, so I won't be telling you guys where it is just yet."

Then a lot of questions are being asked, and Ash decides to ignore those questions, until one reporter asks, "Ash Ketchum, my question is unrelated to the Sevestar Region/ I want to know, there is only one League left for you to win the bet, are you confident on winning the final one?"

Ash says, "I can answer that question. To be sure, I am not confident. The only league left for me is Kanto, the same region where my Mom is the Champion, and the place I was born and raised. I may have been the World Champion, but I am not undefeatable. And my mother is the proof of that. We never bet for the titles or something with battles, but yet I have never won against her when she is serious."

Back at the stands, Delia is surprised to hear what Ash has said about her, it is true that she manages to win against Ash a lot of times when they're training in Sevestar Island. After the interview is over, Ash and the others are now back at AK151, as they're talking about the plans for the future.


After the Galar League is over, Chloe has brought Ash and Alice to the lab, Ash asks, "Why are you bringing me here?"

"Don't you remember? You promised that you were going to forgive Goh after you beat Leon. And he hasn't even caught a Pokemon before that." Chloe says.

"Are you sure he wanted to do this, or you guys were forcing him to do it? If that's the case, then it wouldn't be why I have Goh doing this." Ash says.

"Of course, he had struggled in the first three days, but after that, he starts to reconsider and even train his Pokemon." Chloe replies.

"I see..." Alice says as they enter the lab, after greeting Professor Cerise and the other lab assistants, they find Goh, who is training his Cinderace with Inteleon. Chloe says, "Goh, I brought Ash here."

"Ash?" Goh turns to face the person, who forced him to stop catching Pokemon ever since they met. He takes a deep breath and asks, "Why are you here?"

"What? We were still partners when we were in this lab, why couldn't I be here?" Ash asks. "I heard from Chloe that you started to train your Pokemon seriously."

"Yeah...I realized what you meant. I also released some of my Pokemon who don't seem to like me a lot, and I have been watching your battles and train them."

"I see..." Ash nods. "Goh, do you know why I never tell you my encounters with Mew in the past?"

"Wait, you have met a Mew before?" Goh asks in surprise.

"Not just one, but two, and both of them almost killed me." Ash says. "Maybe because I don't want you to get killed, that's why I never told you. It is not just Mew, all of the other Legendary Pokemon have dangerous powers."

Alice says, "Ash has told me about these when we were alone, and I can see how Ash has suffered a lot."

"Compared to Team Rocket?" Chloe asks.

Ash sighs, "Team Rocket's Mind Control is the last straw because almost getting killed is not worse than being alone in the world. No offense, Alice, I only met you on the day when Team Rocket is over."

"It's fine, I can tell how much you have suffered back then." Alice says with a loving smile.

"Since we have become friends again...Can I have a request?" Goh asks.

"Spill it out, what is it?" Ash asks.

"Chloe has been telling me about the Sevestar Region that you guys are living in, if it is possible, can I have a look around the region?"

"It won't be possible for a day because the region is too big, but I can bring you to our living place in Otem Town." Ash says.

Goh is a little delighted, and then Alice asks, "So that means you finally truly forgive all of them, right?"

"No, there is also Misty." Ash sighs. "And I don't know if I should forgive her or not."

"Misty is the Cerulean Gym Leader and your travel partner from Kanto and Johto, right? Why don't you forgive her?" Chloe asks.

"Before we met again, she wasn't trying to find me and earned my forgiveness in 8 years, so I kinda snapped at her some months ago. Besides, I didn't ask her to travel with me, she followed me because Pikachu ruined her bike and she couldn't blame the fault on him." Ash says.

"I did remember you telling me about your first meeting about being chased by Spearows on Route 1." Goh says, "So the bike was fried when Pikachu is trying to zap against them?"

"Yeah." Ash says. "Also, I want to camp out in Viridian Forest, but that Misty has to scream all the way in the forest just because of Bug Type Pokemon. And she also insulted by Butterfree as a Caterpie."

"You mean the Butterfree that you got a few months ago?" Alice asks. "Along with the pink one?"

"Yeah, I still remember the face Caterpie is making." Ash says. "And it is not just that, I found an egg at Grandpa Canyon, and when it is about to hatch, Misty just rudely pushed me away, and that's why the baby Pokemon belongs to Misty."

"Isn't that counted as stealing Pokemon?" Chloe asks.

"I have to be the good guy who respects Pokemon's wishes, so I can't do it." Ash says. "Also, do you know the famous scene about how boys were dragged by girls to the shopping mall so that they could help them carry the bags? Misty is also one of them. At least Alice wouldn't ask me to carry the bags, but I don't mind if she wants me to help her out."

Alice smiles and says, "Well, most of the time it is you who wants to carry my bags voluntarily, saying about how heavy they are even though nothing is heavy inside."

"You two are really cute as a couple." Chloe says with a smile, and then she thinks, "I wished Goh was the same as Ash..."

"A lot of people have told me that." Ash chuckles. "We were offended when those reporters talked about how we were just trying to put a public image, but I deeply love Alice."

"I deeply love Ash a lot as well. Without Ash, I would still be the shy and timid girl who wouldn't be able to step outside of my house." Alice says. "And I would also be scared for everything because of how I was bullied in school."

"So that movie about you two was real after all?" Goh asks. "I mean, didn't you guys take part in a movie about what happened when we were under Team Rocket's control?"

"That wasn't us." Ash lied. "They are Philip and Elizabeth two of our good friends who won a lot of awards as an actor and an actress."

"Then they look really like you two." Goh says.

"Anyway, we're heading back to Sevestar Region, if you want to come then we should go, or else we wouldn't be able to get back until dusk." Alice says as she looks at the time. Then they decide to continue the conversation while walking on the road.


Here is a new chapter, and as you can see, Ash and Alice use their final disguises and also rekindle the friendship with Goh. The next chapter will be Misty and I hope you like this chapter.
