Chapter 20

While during the time when Ash and Alice are at the contest circuit in Hoenn, the two of them are also invited by Helen to attend the International Food Festival. They represent Kalos' food and a lot of people are enjoying their food. Although Ash and Alice have to disguise themselves as Morris and Paula to attend it.

And before the festival, Ash and Alice also learn how to drive a ship so that they will be able to go and leave the Sevestar Region without Hoopa's loops. And in the Galar Region, they capture a Chewtle and an Arrokuda at Route 2.

"There's only one more Pokemon that we can get, and it is also an Ice Type." Ash says.

"Really?" Alice is excited, but after realizing that it is actually a Fossil Pokemon, she starts to get concerned. After finding a Fossilized Fish and Fossilized Dino, they revive it into an Arctovish.

"The head looks like the Dracovish that you had... but are you sure this is a real Pokemon?" Alice asks.

"It is real indeed." Ash says.

With the help of Inteleon and Dracovish, all of their new Pokemon evolve into their final forms. Ash also prepares a Max Soup for Drednaw so it can Gigantamax.

Then they head to the Sinnoh Region, they start in Pastoria City, the place where the Great Marsh is. They head east to Route 212 and they find an East Sea Shellos.

"Since there is also a West Sea Shellos, should we also capture it?" Alice asks.

"Sure, we can capture it. It usually stays west of Mt. Coronet." Ash says.

They pick Route 205 because not only they can find Shellos, but they can also capture a Finneon. And by heading to the Grand Underground, they also find a cave known as Fountainspring Cave. They find a wild Piplup there and capture it.

"Now our next place is the Spear Pillar. It's time to meet our old friend Palkia." Ash says.

"Palkia is the one who gave us more space for our Pokemon back in Sevestar Island." Alice says with a nod.

Then they head to Spear Pillar, and after a while, they find Palkia. Who not only joins his team, but also gives Ash the Lustrous Globe. Ash also demonstrates Palkia's origin form, and she is amazed.

After getting back to Sevestar Island, they train all the Water Type Pokemon from Sinnoh and also evolve them into their final form, which also includes Buizel, he also evolves into Floatzel in the end.

A few days later, Ash and Alice receive 3 more eggs. But just after hatching the three of them, they are all surprised to see what's inside. And since the egg steps, the first one hatches before the other two, and it turns out to be a Basculin.

"It's a Basculin?" Alice says, "But it is white striped..."

The Basculin notices Ash and gives him a hug, Ash says, "I remember this Basculin... he's my old friend from the Hisui Region! I'm so glad to see you again!"

Arceus says, "You're correct. I also made sure that this Basculin contains the memory of you, it is not just him, your other 4 friends are the same, only that they are in different areas."

"Thank you so much. I really missed this guy. Although you have to evolve into a Basculegion again..." Ash says, and Basculin assures him that it's fine.

Alice asks, "What's the evolution method for Basculin?"

"He has to take 294 or more recoil damage." Ash says, "The only way to have him do that is by using Wave Crash and Head Smash."

Oshawott is curious and he volunteers to help out, and while the two are training, Oshawott also evolves into Dewott and eventually Samurott, but the Samurott is a Hisuian Form.

"Looks like we got all the Starter Hisuian Forms..." Alice says.

"You're right." Ash says. And after evolving Basculin into Basculegion, Alice is a little concerned because it's a Ghost Type, but they also manage to see the other two eggs hatched.

"Manaphy and Phione!" Ash exclaims in surprise after the two eggs hatched into two Mythical Pokemon. And the two Pokemon also treat Ash and Alice as their parents. Although they also have some problems with them since Manaphy would use Heart Swap on them.

Now the four girls are sitting with each other talking about their future plans. Reisa notices that someone is missing and she asks, "So Alice, where is Ash?"

Helen looks around the living room and she says, "Come to think of it, I didn't see him either. Since you are his girlfriend, Alice, do you know what he is up to now?"

"I am sorry, this time he didn't tell me anything." Alice says. "What if he is keeping something behind my back..."

"Don't worry, Alice. Knowing him, he isn't that kind of person." Flora says as she looks out the window, "He is probably doing something outside."

Just then, they hear the music coming from outside of the castle. They are confused about where the music comes from, so they decide to check it out. Much to their surprise, they see Ash, who is in Jude's disguise, holding a microphone while Pikachu is standing by a speaker that is linked to the smartphone, Ludicolo is standing in front of them while the camera is on top of its head. Milotic is also present as she is sitting on the ground watching them.

"Are you ready guys?" The two Pokemon nod in agreement, Alice asks, "What is he up to?"

Reisa says, "I think he is trying to film a music video..."

As the music starts, Ash takes a deep breath and then he starts to sing.

"I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess
Now, when did you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride."

Flora says, "Wow...that is such a soothing voice..."

"His voice is beautiful...he sure has a talent for singing..." Helen says.

As for Alice, she isn't saying anything as she knows this song too well. It is a duet and she should be singing with him, so she changes into her Aoi form and walks towards him, also having a microphone in her hand.

"A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us, "No"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming"

"A whole new world"Ash is surprised since he wants to film this for Alice as a surprise, but the said person is walking towards him singing the female parts of the song in her Water-type disguise.
"A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you"

Ash can't be angry at her for the fact that his surprise is ruined, her smile at him is sweet and he decides to follow the flow. "Now I'm in a whole new world with you"

"Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world"
"Don't you dare close your eyes"
"A hundred thousand things to see"
"Hold your breath, it gets better"
"I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be""A whole new world"
"Every turn, a surprise"
"With new horizons to pursue"
"Every moment, red-letter"
"I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you"

Ash and Alice are now staring at each other as Ash continues to sing.

"A whole new world"
"A whole new world"
"That's where we'll be"
"That's where we'll be"
"A thrilling chase"
"A wondrous place"
"For you and me"

After that, the two share a kiss as Ludicolo almost forgot to end the recording. It is until Milotic mentions it that Ludicolo gets back to his senses to stop the filming. As for Flora, Helen, and Reisa, they are clapping for them due to the fact that they sing so well, especially with the duet.

"That sure is a nice song." Flora says.

Ash says, "Thanks. So what are you doing here?"

"We are trying to find you, and then we heard the music and we decide to check it out." Reisa says.

"Your voice is really beautiful, and so does Alice." Helen says.

Ash and Alice blush a little and Ash rubs his head sheepishly, "Well, I just wanted to make a surprise for Alice since I want to thank her for the beautiful voice. But since you come to sing with me, I guess it is not so surprising anymore."

Alice smiles and says, "Don't think like that. I think it is really a surprise to me, I just feel like this song is suitable for a duet instead of a solo."

"Maybe you are right." Ash says as he takes the camera from Ludicolo, who can finally dance because of nothing on its head. "Now the last thing is that we need to decorate it so that it can be a great music video."

Reisa says, "You know... since you two have really good voices, why don't you two form a band, and then you guys can be famous around the world."

This causes the two to tense up, and Alice is afraid that people might recognize him and he is going into a breakdown again. "Reisa, do you forget that Ash..."

Ash cuts her off and says, "Sure, why not? You just give us a great idea of how to use Jude and Aoi's disguises."

"Ash?" Alice is surprised that he is willing to do something that is a risk for him to be exposed to the crowd.

"Alice, don't worry about it, just like when we are Dean and Whith, or Morris and Paula, no one will be able to recognize us. Not only that, but the way we met is also because of music, so I think we should give it a try."

"If that's okay with you, then I will be glad to help you as well." Alice smiles. "By the way, I know Flora doesn't have any musical talent, how about you two?"

"Just excluded me in an instant, huh? Alice?" Flora pouts, "But she is right that I have no musical talents..."

Helen says, "Sorry, since I was trained for cooking when I was little, so I don't have any musical talents."

Reisa says, "But not me, my father has given me a lot of instrument training, I know how to play some instruments, but my favorite is the guitar."

"Then it is decided." Ash says, "We can make a band with the three of us, in my father's diary, even though they don't have a disguise, they also show how to play the instruments like Violin, keyboard and also guitar and drums."

"And my dad also taught me a lot about music to play as well. Seems like we really are music-talented." Reisa smiles.

And here we have it, the use of the disguises for Jude and Aoi. I decide to use A Whole New World because it is a duet and I want Ash and Alice to sing it. I hope you like this chapter.
