Brock's Memoirs Of His Youth
30th July 1613
Although Ash was extremely against the idea of Kamon and Iris getting married, he was oblivious to the fact that Cilan and Kamon hated each others guts. Ash only thought that Cilan was scared of losing Iris whilst his brother was scared of his father disowning him. Many could wonder who really loves Iris the most. There's no doubt that Iris thinks highly of them both. She promoted them almost as soon as she had met them.
Queen Iris was desperately searching for closure in her life. She couldn't find it in her tradition, in her duties or in her last two husbands. Her and Cilan had began to argue. There was lots of evidence to suggest they were fueled by jealously. Before they were married they couldn't stand being apart, but the further they went in the marriage, the harsher the waves.
Cilan became great friends with a pregnant prostitute named Larxene, who was also a maid to one of Iris' soldiers. Larxene was cute and had the brightest green eyes that could swallow knives and lives. When I saw Cilan having dinner with Larxene, I knew that his demise was crawling behind him. I believe that Cilan is using Larxene to get Iris' attention which was a fatal mistake.
Iris was upset because she wasn't pregnant. She wanted an heir of Cilan's blood so she could prove that her love was real. Kamon and Iris had a real friendship and Cilan couldn't bare to see her with other men. Severe trust issues and paranoia could not be sured with as a baby. If anything it will only make things more complicated. Another person will be trapped in the web. Kamon will fall into the same traps Cilan dived into.
Whatever happened from that point on was going to cause a bad riff. And once again the brothers would find themselves to be sworn enemies. Ash and Kamon had promised to be good to each other after the final battle of Blood's War. I believe that May and Iris would have died that day if wasn't for The Ketchum Brothers.
Perhaps Giovanni Ketchum was not as evil as we are made to believe. Historians fail to acknowledge Giovanni's acts of kindness. Giovanni donated half of his estate to the poor in Kanto. Although he still held onto his belief that pokemon were tools, he had proven to be devoted father and he had been willing to go through hell and back to advance his family.
Everything had been paying off for The Ketchums at this point. Hoenn was one kingdom closer to an empire and Kamon was considered Queen Iris' most trusted adviser. Although there were still many things in the way. Giovanni considered Lord Xemnas' hungry power schemes as a threat to his son's success and happiness and had gathered sufficient evidence to have him arrested and on the verge of execution.
But no one could have predicted what was about to happen next.
