Chapter 2 Explanations

Once they bring Lillie and Gladion to the castle in the Sevestar Region, they are surprised to see a region with no war and people living happily. With all the siblings leaving the castle, the only ones there are Ash and Golly.

When Lillie and Gladion are sitting in the living room seats, Ash sits at the side while Golly leaves to feed her Pokemon. Lillie asks, "Ash... where did you take us?"

"This is the Sevestar Region, a region that isn't involved in the war with Team Radiant Alpha and Team Rainbow Rocket." Ash says. "This region is kept a secret so that Team Rainbow Rocket won't try to attack this region just like they did to the other 9 regions. And I'm sorry that I've ignored your calls, Team Radiant Alpha was in a war with Team Rainbow Rocket, so I didn't have the time to answer the calls."

Gladion says, "You do realize we have a lot of questions. If you were the ones who formed Team Radiant Alpha, why would you do such a thing?"

Ash says, "Everything began because of Team Rocket's greed of taking over the world. Did you remember how many times we've managed to stop Team Rocket and the other teams?"

Lillie and Gladion nod and Ash says, "Giovanni, the mastermind of Team Rainbow Rocket, has been targetting my family for so long, he is the one who killed my father. And once he heard that I am still stopping his evil deeds, he gathers some of the evil teams that we'd stopped, and they formed this Team Rainbow Rocket. He is also a strong manipulator, that's why a lot of people are joining their side, including the governments who want nothing but greed to rule the regions however they want."

Ash lowers his head and says, "After my studies in the Paldea Region, I returned home, only to see that Pallet Town was burnt to ashes, my Pokemon were dead after Team Rainbow Rocket killed them all, and I also met my mother, who was shot at the heart by Giovanni. I tried to fight against him, but he managed to get away in the end, and since the Governments were joining them, they accused me of being the one who did the massacre of Pallet Town. And thus, the rest of my Pokemon, including Pikachu, was executed for the crimes. Before I was executed, I was saved by the International Police and the PLA at the last second. Since the execution was in Kalos, the first person I was trying to find is Serena."

"We were also in Kalos as we were talking with Serena as well... but Team Rocket came and killed her."

"I know... in the last second, I inherited Serena's aura, memories, and her Pokemon with the help of Arceus... and that was also the last day when we met." Lillie frowns.

"Serena's death was the last straw... when Arceus told me everything, how the government was corrupted and how the Team Rainbow Rocket was behind everything, all I could feel is rage. I've decided if I am going to stop them, then I'll have to become just like them."

"So that's why you formed Team Alpha..." Lillie frowns.

"I started the team with this place as the location. And when the International Police informed me that I have five more siblings, I was surprised to learn I still have five siblings. But after finding them, I found all of them were suffering, because of the government... and after we saved them, they also learned the news of what happened to Pallet Town. They shared the same hatred as me, so we decided to work together, gathering the 18 teams and forming an organization that can stand against Team Rainbow Rocket."

"But you do realize that the war has caused a lot of innocents to die, right? Some of them were involved in the crossfire..." Lillie says.

"Yes, and it's a shame. Team Rainbow Rocket doesn't even care as long as they reach their goals." Ash says. "They are the ones who attacked first, and we were there to stop them from harming more innocents."

Then he stands up and says, "Lillie, you said you have Serena's memories with you... that means you remember everything Serena did when we were traveling together?"

Lillie's face starts to burn up a little as she remembers every single part of the memory of Ash traveling in Kalos with them. It feels like she's the one experiencing those memories. "Yes... I do..."

Ash says, "I see... and that's enough of me to know the truth." Then he stands up and says, "Now that you know that I'm still alive, I think it's better to send you back to the Aether Foundation. Team Rainbow Rocket won't target your place because they don't know the exact location. So at least you'll be fine."

Gladion sighs, "Ash is right, we'll need to go back to our parents and inform them about this region."

Lillie suddenly says, "Gladion, I'm sorry, but I'm going to stay here with Ash."

"What?" This causes the two boys to be shocked. Ash asks, "What are you thinking, Lillie? You shouldn't stay here with me, right now I'm a dangerous man and you should probably stay away from me..."

"That's why I can't leave you anymore. You've suffered a lot and I want to be by your side to make you better." Lillie says. "Ever since the war happened, I felt that I've been useless... I watched how many people died in the battle... Bonnie, Mallow, Kiawe, Lana, Sophocles... and others... I am not going to stay back down and do nothing. I want to join in the fight. Even if it means joining Team Alpha."

"Lillie, what are you thinking?" Gladion asks in horror. "Brother, you'll go back to our home alone. I'll be staying with Ash."

Just then, for some reason, the temperature starts to get lowered, and Ash notices that Lillie has the power to manipulate aura just like him, although none of them notice. Gladion says, "Okay... okay, I'll tell Mother about it."

Then Ash sighs as he has Golly bring Gladion back to the Aether Foundation. Ash sighs as he turns to Lillie, he says, "Lillie... you do realize that once you come with us, there is no turning back. In the other regions, I'm still a criminal because of those governments. PLA and the International Police risk themselves to help us out and they might be watched as well. Are you sure you can handle this?"

"Of course, I can. I'm not going to abandon you." Lillie says. "That's because... because I love you..."

Ash widens his eyes, he asks, "Lillie... what did you just say?"

"I..." Lillie blushes a little red and says, "Ash... I... you see... I was attracted to you ever since you come to the Alola Region... and those feelings only grew stronger after having Serena's memories..."

Ash widens his eyes as he embraces Lillie, he whispers in her ear, "I... I don't know what to say... I mean, you are very important to me, and I don't want to let you go... is this... love? I don't understand... but I want to be with you, that won't change..."

"Ash..." Lillie embraces Ash and they share a kiss, and eventually, they can't hold it anymore as they head to the bedroom as start to enjoy their bodies together. Snowy and Sylveon decide not to chase after them because they know it is going to be embarrassing in the end.

Back at the Aether Foundation, Golly was also with Gladion. When they enter the office, Mohn asks, "Gladion? Who is this person? And where is Lillie?"

Gladion sighs and says, "Before that, I need everyone to come here, since she knows everything about Team Radiant Alpha."

As everyone gathers in the office, Golly says, "First off, I should introduce myself. My name is Golly Ketchum, I'm the second younger sister of Ash."

"Wait, you're Ash's sister? Ash never mentioned this before..." Clemont says with surprise.

"When we were younger, Team Rocket was already a threat to our family, to protect us, our mother did the hardest thing that also pained her heart. She sent the five of us away from her and Ash so that Team Rocket won't be targeting us." Golly says.

"Since you're Ash's sister, does that mean you know where Ash is?" Chloe asks.

"I know. Before that, I should tell you that Ash is the leader of Radiant Alpha." Golly says, which causes them to widen their eyes in shock. "Hold on... Ash is the leader of Team Radiant Alpha? Why would he do that?"

"The day he graduated from the Paldea Narauva University, he returned home to witness the whole Pallet Town being massacred. That also included his Pokemon, our Mom, Professor Oak, and others. The government not only helped Team Rainbow Rocket, the culprit behind the incident, get away from the mess, but they also framed Ash to be the one who did this. Thus finding an excuse to execute him and his Pokemon. They already eliminated his Pokemon, including Pikachu, but Ash was saved in the last second."

"That's..." Everyone is speechless about the whole incident. Then Gladion continues, "When Ash managed to escape, he tried to find Serena, a girl that Lillie and I were meeting... you all knew that Serena was killed in the end by Team Rainbow Rocket, but the two of us managed to survive..."

"You did tell us that Ash saved you two... and that was also the last time you met Ash..." Dawn says.

"Yes. My brother then eventually left with Arceus as the two of them were on a mission to save me and my other siblings. Ever since we were sent away, we suffered a lot. I was shot and was forced to stay in a hospital for years until I woke up two years ago. While there are some who had been abused, kidnapped, and being experimented on, sold, and also abandoned... Brother Ash saved us, but we also learned about our parents' death. With the rage, we formed Team Radiant Alpha and we declared war on Team Rainbow Rocket and the governments."

"We can understand your reasons, but you do realize that this war made the nine regions suffer, houses are destroyed, ruins are everywhere, and there are even dead bodies and innocent people getting killed. How are you going to deal with those?" Lusamine asks.

"It is true that the war has caused a lot of problems in the end. And of course, we of Team Radiant Alpha have been trying to avoid this as much as possible. However, most of the incidents are caused by Team Rainbow Rocket. They used all you said as our weakness. They ruthlessly destroyed and killed people just so we would show up and fight against them. With the governments backing them up, they try to make us the enemies instead. However, the PLA and the International Police know the truth, and they have been helping us in the shadows."

"So we were right this whole time..." Brock mutters. "And what about Lillie? Where is she right now?"

"She declared her love towards my brother Ash Ketchum and she refuses to leave his side." Golly sighs. "With Ash's persuasion, she would eventually join Team Radiant Alpha and become a key member. Their location is in a region known as the Sevestar Region, it is actually not far from here and it is a region that isn't involved in a war between the two organizations. But secretly, Sevestar Region is a base where Team Radiant Alpha brings war-torn families to live. And they make sure that the region isn't going to be involved in war."

"I see..." Lusamine says. "Since we're still worried if the Aether Foundation will be attacked. If we set the foundation into the region's territorial seas, maybe it would be safe for us?"

"That might work, but can this place move in the first place?" Golly asks.

"Of course it can, we didn't make this base for nothing." Mohn says as they start to move the island towards the Sevestar Region.

Here is a new chapter, and Ash and Golly explain everything about Team Radiant Alpha and what actually happened. I hope you like this chapter.
