Alright here is chapter 20, with a special arc going down. Now be aware this is going to be my official 'reveal' chapter for Ash and Ruby's relationship to Delia, so the Delia in Remnant arc is non canon now, I will put that on the story later. I own nothing except my ideas and OC's.


Ash was prepping himself, the other teams watched as he darted around his dorm, getting everything ready alongside the other members. "Er...what are you doing"? Jaune asks. "Well, my Mother said I should take a quick trip home, and given we have a free day, I suggested we head over to my world for the day". Ash answers while putting his hat on his head, Pikachu hoping onto his shoulder. "Wait...your going back to your world"? Weiss asks, while Aria tossed a stray bag to George. "Yeah, for a day at least". Ash answers. "Do you think we can go"? Ruby asks. Ash blinks before turning and saw they were all eager. "You guys want to go to my world"? Ash asks. "Yeah! It'll be fun"! Yang cheers. "Plus, I want to see what clothing they have". Coco says while looking at him from under her shades. Ash chuckles. "Alright, get ready, we'll leave in an hour". Ash orders while they nod and leave.

Team GRAAY (Not a misspell), RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY all met at the main courtyard, small bags holding a spare change of clothing, except for Ash who actually lives there. "Alright, like I said we'll be there for a day. Now everyone lock hands". Ash says while holding Ruby's hand. She in turn held Weiss' who continued the chain, until eventually they were all a big circle, with Ash having his other hand free and Pikachu holding onto his shoulder.. "Let's go"! Ash said while holding the stone forward, which glowed a golden light and took them all, to the world of Pokemon.

A light shown at a cliff overlooking Pallet Town, the four team appearing out of it. Ash turned and walked to the edge, seeing his hometown. "We're home buddy, we're home". Ash said with a nostalgic smile. "Let's go, I can't wait to see what this world has to offer". Ryan says with a notebook, eager to learn from Ash's home world. Ash smiled before nodding. "Let's go, we got a lot of ground to cover". Ash said before beginning down the trail to his home, the others following.

While walking down the path, the others noticed Pokemon poking out to glance at them, Ash had ordered them to keep their weapons stashed away, since there is no need for weapons in this world. Ash noticed two familiar faces ahead of him and smirked. Ash gave them the sign to stay quiet and began to sneak forward. By closer examination, the person was a female with navy blue hair, a strange penguin like creature beside her, she was talking to a spiky haired brown haired man, who had squinted eyes.

Ash slowly snuck behind them before tapping the females shoulder, prompting her to turn around, only for Ash to dart to the other side of her, keeping himself out of sight. The squinty eyed man had wide eyes despite his eyes never opening. "Alright! Who's doing-". The girl began, only for Ash to appear in front of her, prompting her to squeal and surprise and leap back. Ash chuckles as the girls face brightened. "Ash"! She cheers before getting up and hugging him, the penguin following her and hugging Ash's leg. "It's good to see you too Dawn, I guess I've been gone for a while". Ash says with a small chuckle. "A while? We missed your birthday, and the only one who can contact you is your Mom". The girl named Dawn says with a frown. Ash chuckles while rubbing his neck. "Good to see you again Ash". The squinty eyed man says with a smile. "Same here Brock". Ash says while giving the man a handshake. "So, who are your friends"? Brock asks, noticing the rather large group of teens. "They are people from the world I came form, I decided to head back for a day and they wanted to tag along". Ash answered. Brock nods before greeting them, Dawn doing the same, and squealing over Coco's fashion sense, the two quickly became fast friends.

Ash had his hands in his pockets, talking with his old friends as they got to know with his new ones. Ash had pulled Brock aside and gave him a warning to cut off his usual 'flirting'. Brock agreed, saying he wouldn't try since he knows they are such close friends. Ash nods before they began to talk over stuff Ash missed. They eventually arrived in Pallet Town, heading to Ash's home. Ash had to bite down his embarrassment when Brock asked about his love life, Ash explained his relationship, and suddenly got a stone cold Brock, who George had to push the way there.

Ash took a deep breath before knocking on the door, and suddenly get enveloped in hug from his Mom. "Ash! Your home"! Delia cheered while hugging her son. Ash chuckles while the others snickered. Delia turned and saw the small group. "Oh, are these friends of yours"? Delia asks. "Yeah meet my Team, Team GRAY, with Aria Foxy, an indirect member. Compiled of me, George Armstrong, Ryan Jenkins, and Yaron Schatten". Ash introduces while they all wave. "And what about the others"? Delia asks. Ruby stepped forward. "I'm Ruby Rose, leader of Team RWBY, with Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long, my sister". Ruby greets before Delia squealed and hugged Ruby.

"So your the Ruby that Ash has telling me about, he was right, you are adorable". Delia says while Ash and Ruby's faces lit up. "Adorable huh"? Yang asks. "I am an honest man, especially when it comes to compliments". Ash said while looking away. Yang and George smirked at that, but watched this unfold, in all its awkward glory. "So, how exactly have you two been doing"? Delia asks. "Mom! I think this conversation should wait until the others have introduced themselves". Ash says with a nervous chuckle. "Oh don't worry, we can wait". Coco says with a smirk. Ash gives the diva a look, one that said 'How could you'?

"Nonsense, I don't want to be a bad host". Delia says while turning to the others. "I am Delia Ketchum, I suppose I stalled that long enough". Delia introduces. Jaune walked forward. "I'm Jaune Arc, Leader of Team JNPR with Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren". Jaune introduces while they wave. Coco walked forward with a smirk. "I admit, I didn't expect such a fighter to have such a laid back life, but I suppose its a bit obvious". Coco says before clearing her throat. "Coco Adel, Leader of Team CFVY, with Velvet Scarlatina, Fox Alistar, and Yatsuhashi Daichi". Coco introduces while they all wave, Velvet a bit more happily.

Ash massaged his forehead as they were all lead inside, most of them sitting on the couches which were present, a couple taking the floor. "I apologize, I didn't expect so many quests". Delia mutters. "It's fine, we are grateful for your hospitality". Yaron interjects. Delia smiled before going into the kitchen, Brock following. Dawn smirked, after hearing about Ash and Ruby, she wanted to hear more. "So Ash, how come you didn't tell me you got a girlfriend"? Dawn asks, getting a grin from Yang. Ash blushed before looking away. "Well, Mom is the only one who I could contact, I would have presumed she told you". Ash answers. "True, but we have been busy for a while, haven't had the time to head back here, me and the others came here cause your Mom told us that your coming back for a day". Dawn said while Ash's eyes widened. "Wait! The others are coming here"? Ash asks. "Yep, they should be here soon". Dawn says before Ash sighs. The door was suddenly knocked on, making Ash flinch. "Speaking of the devils". George says with a smirk. Ash sighed before going to open the door, he opened it and smiled.

To be continued.
