A Day at the RPA Part 1

Ash looks at the time on his watch, seeing the time and he sighs, "Well, it is about noon. Time does past by very quick..."

"You're right. We did a lot of things in the morning." Lillie says, "But I think we should try doing something else."

"So what are we going to do now?" Jullie asks, and the others are sharing the same confusion.

"How about we go have lunch at the RPA? It has been a while since we eat together." Eve says. "Since we all have duties to do, it would be better if we hang out in these days."

"I agree." Lillie says. "Brother, guys, do you want to come with us to RPA?"

"RPA is Ash's company, right?" Dawn asks. "But we don't know anything about it..."

"Don't worry, as you can see, RPA is the best company in the seven Southern Regions. It will be a shame if you didn't go there." David says.

"My brother is right you know." Elline says. "The main Department store and the headquarters of the company is located at Silkan City, we just need to get past Route 1 and we could see it in front of us."

"Sure. Let's go check it out." Mallow says as they prepare their items and go there.


Unknown to Ash and the others, a glow appears in front of the castle as the traitors appear once more.

"It is a good thing my Gallade learns how to Teleport." Max says as he recalls his Pokemon.

"Yeah. It saves us a lot of time and money." Misty says with a fury that is related to the sudden teleportation.

Then they see Ash and his friends walk on the road and chatting, and they are surprised to see how many people are there. Iris asks, "Who are those people?"

Brock looks at his book and says, "They are the Gym Leaders of Sevestar Region. They are also said to be the strongest gym leaders in the world."

"Seriously? That is because they haven't battle us yet." Misty says arrogantly, but when she notices Reisa, who is talking to Dawn, she is furious. "And that bitch is there as well!"

"Yeah, not only that, that Elline who banned us from getting an invitation is also there as well!" Bonnie says in anger as well. They decide to follow them to know what they are up to.


After walking to couple minutes, they are now at the front of the RPA company. Gladion and the ones who don't know about this company are shocked to see how big it is, and Serena says, "It looks just like a department store."

"Of course." Ash smiles. "After lunch, we can go have some fun inside. There are clothes store, jewelry stores and some other great places to go."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go inside." Flora says as they all head inside the store, and once they get inside, the traitors also arrive and Brock says, "So this is the company Ash owned..."

"It sure is big, just how many money did he use on this kind of thing?" Cilan says as they head inside.


As the group head to the restaurant, a Waitress comes and bows at them. She says, "President Ash, President Lillie. It is an honor to have you here."

"Give us a private suite so it can hold 30 people." Lillie says. "Us Gym Leaders and Elite 4 are having a meeting some we really need some place that won't be bothering us."

"Yes. President. Please follow me." Then they go with the waitress. Gladion says, "Wait, Lillie? You are also the President? I thought it is only Ash's company..."

"Then you are wrong." Lillie says. "Ash and I are the Co-Presidents, not to mention Mother has also been helping out a lot with this company, the Aether Foundation is also one of the sponsors."

Once they all take a seat, they look at the menu and Dawn says, "Wow, there are a lot of food to choose."

"They all look delicious, I don't know which one I should choose." Sophocles says while his mouth is watering.

Reisa says, "It is common for the first time that you don't know what to choose, since the food here is as good as a five star restaurant."

Minami says, "And besides, Brother is the one who designs the food."

"Well, we did manage to try out back at the Kanto Region, as he hold a feast so that the PLA and the RPA can have a meeting." Serena says.

The traitors are having a table near their suite, Iris looks at the menu and says, "What the hell? All of the food is designed by Ash? And how was he able to cook that well?"

"Yeah. I still can't believe this restaurant is owned by him." May says.

Mallow asks, "But when can Ash cook? I remember that the last time I asked Ash for help in my family's restaurant, he had been ruining the kitchen and making some dishes that aren't edible..."

Trenor says, "Well, the Ash you know is actually a disguise that is meant to keep his own identity safe. But I think that Brother didn't think much when splitting himself, and that self didn't know how to cook. But in truth, brother is a good cook and he has been taught under Uncle Seibold and Mother."

"You mean the Kalos Elite 4 Seibold?" Serena asks. "I almost forgot that you are related to him..."

"If you didn't know, he is our father." Elline says. "And I think it is obvious that family takes care of family. So teaching him how to cook is what we Ketchums need to learn."

Kiawe asks, "So how big is the Ketchum Family? I noticed that 5 of the Champions are related to you, it must be very big, right?"

Ash says, "The Ketchum Family is one of the two most influential families in the world as the next one is the Aether Family. RPA and the Aether Foundation are the two most influential companies and it is a pleasure to have them both in our two families."

Gladion says, "Seriously? Out family is that big? How come I never know about that?"

"Maybe because mother tends to hide it from you ever since our father was gone..." Lillie frowns. "But just so you know, without the Ketchum Family, there will be no Showcases as well as Contests. Mega Evolution as well as the Legendaries weren't going to be common in the world."

Dawn says, "I know Aurora and Wallace, the two famous Top Coordinators, are related to you. But wow..."

The traitors are listening as Misty says, "The most influential family, huh?"

"No wonder he is being this respected." Clemont says.

"Yeah, and being like a spoiled brat getting everything he wanted..." Max mutters.

Once the food arrives, they start to eat the delicious meal. They also chat on the way about stuff. Ash says, "So Reisa, how is the Water Show going back at your aquarium?"

Reisa says, "It is great. And thanks to you, the Aquarium is a great tourist attraction in Oceablu City. And it sure is a great idea to let people get close to the Water Pokemon."

Lana says, "I heard that you are going to have a cooperation with the Waterflower sisters a week later, right? Since the performance has been so famous that they managed to call you?"

"Of course, and I accept only in one condition." Reisa says. "And they assure me that there will be no Misty that will interrupt our performance, so I agreed as we have been discussing about the performance."

Misty hears it and her eyes twitches, she says, "Those guys...they planned this without my knowledge..."

Sophocles asks, "Elline, you are the Electric Gym Leader, how is Elmososha Town look like?"

"It is like the Mauville City, a Building like town." Elline says. "It has 10 floors and there is one floor made for the movie studios. Mr. Tom Wood is also one of the directors here."

"I see." Dawn says. "I like his movies. Especially the movie Dragon Slayer, the prince and the princess acted so great and I heard that they were the youngest people that gains the Golden Awards."

Ash and Lillie blush a little and then Golly says, "Well, you are flattering in front of the actor and actress after all."

"Wait, what?" The Alola group, Serena and Dawn are surprised.

"Yeah. I acted the Prince while Lillie is the princess." Ash says. "And my Sylveon evolves when we are filming."

Sylveon nods and she jumps into Ash's lap, Ash also pats the Pokemon as she nuzzles him. Serena says, "No wonder this Sylveon looks so familiar, it was the same Sylveon that managed to catch people's hearts."

"Yeah." Gary says. "Not to mention it was also the best Pokemon in the year until Greninja was taken the title..."

Mallow asks, "And I heard that there is a resort that is similar to the Hano Grand Resort also in this region. Is it true?"

Mark says, "The FS Resort. It is located in the bay at the Greeny City. In fact, Hano Grand Resort and FS Resort has been working together for a long time since they are both Ketchum's heritage."

"Our Champion, Kahili, is related to you, right?" Lana asks.

"Yep. And she is my mom." Reisa says. "In fact, of all the Champions in the regions, the only ones that aren't related to Ketchums and Aether are Lance and Alder."

Serena says, "Seriously? That is quite surprising. Just how did you guys gain a lot of power?"

"Well, basically we Ketchums never give up until it is over. And we manage to push ourselves to limits." Ash says.

Kiawe asks, "So Alice, is it true that the League is located on the icy mountain like Alola?"

"Yes. On Mount Iceat which is the southern-most mountain in the region." Alice says. "Though it is not as cold as my region, but it is good enough for the league to take place."

Drandon says, "Indeed. one has to overcome any obstacles in the way if they want to become a champion. Besides, a true champion doesn't fear anything, not even losing is something to be fear of."

"Wow." Lana says. "That is quite knowledgeable..."

Ash says, "For example, like someone who is afraid of Ice Types or Fairy Types, they don't deserve to be a Dragon Master. A true Dragon master should not fear any type and train the Dragon Pokemon fully to the max. Not only that, they are able to find ways to beat both Ice Type and Fairy Type Pokemon."

Iris hears it and she is furious, "I can't believe that he is insulting me! How dare he..."

"Calm down. Iris." May says, not wanting them to be exposed.

Dawn is confused and she asks, "Why are you mentioning Dragon Types since there are other types to say?"

"Oh, well, I was just thinking the time when I was back at the Dragon Village in the Unova Region before I take on the league. Lillie and I have been training under Drayden for weeks to take on the Dragon Master test." Ash says.

"I remember. He asked us to use Sylveon and Beartic as we need to use Dragons to fight them." Lillie says. "It was tough since Dragons are weak to those Pokemon."

"So you past the test?" Sophocles asks.

"Why of course, we also gained the title of the Dragon Prince and Dragon Princess from the Village Elder herself. And we still use the titles to help those in need."

At the traitors group, Iris is now fuming. "I can't believe he past the test first! He is only a kid and how much did he know about dragons anyway?"

Bonnie sighs, "I start to regret stay here. It is like they are indirectly insulting us..."


Here is a new chapter. The RPA will be divided into two parts, the schedule is the wedding and then the first lemon. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
