Chapter 47

When Ash and Alice are back at Sevestar Island, what they have seen really shocks them, Drandon and Flora are kissing in front of them. Ash asks, "Flora? Drandon? What are you doing?"

Both of them realize that Ash and Alice are back as they blush really hard while breaking the kiss. Drandon says, "Ash...Alice...I..."

"When did it happen?" Alice asks with a little excited tone. "I mean, Flora. You told me that you weren't interested in a relationship..."

Flora sighs and says, "Well...I admit, I wasn't interested in a relationship until I met Drandon...back when D&W was attacked, he was the one that saved the store."

"Wait, when did this happen? Who attacked the store?" Ash gasps.

Drandon says, "Don't worry about them anymore, the person is already taken away by Officer Jenny. Did you remember that bully you had in high school, Ark?"

Alice pales and asks, "What about him? He attacked the store?"

Drandon says, "He bought an outfit and decided to return it because it was not fit. Flora already gave back the money and he decided to accuse her of not returning the money and trying to use a receipt stolen by another customer to cheat his way through. He probably knew you worked at the store and that's why he tried to destroy it."

Ash asks, "Who is this Ark person?"

Alice says, "He was the main culprit that bullied me back in school. He came from a wealthy family and he always badmouths you, I didn't like the way that he talked, so I countered him and say how amazing you are. At first, he wanted me to date him so that he will overlook the mistake I made, and I refused. And that's the beginning of my bullying."

Ash is angry at this Ark person, he says, "So he's the reason why you had a miserable life... So you say that he was in jail now?"

Flora says, "Yeah, with the evidence gathered by Drandon, I don't think even his family could bail him out now."

Ash says, "Good. I hope he rots in jail in the end. No one can harm my beautiful wife."

Alice blushes, and Flora decides to cut off their romantic moment. "And once we get back to the island, you know what you've seen."

"Did Eve or Lucine know about this?" Ash asks, "About your relationship?"

Flora says, "They don't know yet. We didn't want to be found out this early...but I guess it is our fault that we kinda kiss out in the open like that."

"There is no wrong with doing that when we are in a place that nobody knows." Alice says, "But that means all three of us are in love with someone, right?"

"I don't know about Eve, but I guess both you and I are." Flora shrugs.

"You have no idea, when Alice and I were as Binary and Sylvan, we have seen how Eve always sits next to Gary Oak and how they have been discussing a lot." Ash says.

"Gary Oak? As in Professor Oak's Grandson?" Drandon asks.

"Yeah, he is also my childhood friend who always taunts me every time he can..." Ash says.

"Worse than Iris?" Alice asks.

"You have no idea." Ash says. "It is after the Johto League that he gets better."

"Okay..." Flora says. "So you think Eve might have feelings for Gary Oak?"

"We are not sure, and since both you and Eve are training with Aura, there is no way we can just use it to check her heart." Alice sighs. "And I don't think we can just ask her, because she is not like us, she probably wanted to keep it a secret."

While they are talking, Ash frowns a little, and Drandon notices it and asks, "Ash? What's wrong? You don't seem to be happy..."

"As you know, I have traveled around the regions before Team Rocket happened. I traveled with a lot of girls, and we do have a sibling-like relationship, except for Alice because we are in a relationship...and speaking of sisters...I really miss my sister."

"So you have a sister too?" Drandon asks. "How come we never heard about it?"

"Because she was killed, the same way as my father..." Ash grits his teeth a little, and Drandon seems to be concerned for him. "She was just three years old...she didn't do anything wrong... Team Rocket was targeting my family because my father is the leader's nemesis, while my mom is a traitor from Team Rocket."

"I'm sorry to hear that, but did your mother tell you where her tombstone is?" Drandon asks.

"According to Mom, she is buried on the top floor of the Pokemon Tower in Kanto." Ash says with a frown. "Because she likes Pokemon even though she was just 3 years old."

"So I assume your father was also buried there?" Drandon asks.

"No, my father is buried in the Rota Kingdom. Because he is Queen Ilene's brother, she wants to bury his body in the same garden that he likes to be in when he was little. My mother has tried to let Golly's body be buried there as well, but the old traditional vassals think that my father never married my mother, and they refused to let her buried there." Ash says. "I didn't know that Queen Ilene is my aunt when I traveled to the Hoenn Region along with May, Max, and Brock, and my aunt didn't tell me because those old vassals were still there."

"Okay...that sounds complicating." Drandon says. "But I don't get it, shouldn't your father be the king of Rota if he wasn't killed? Why wasn't your mother the Queen?"

"My Dad doesn't like to be the king." Ash sighs, "Because of it, my aunt Diantha has been banished from the Ketchem family. He could only wait until my grandma and grandpa were gone so that he can officially give the throne to Aunt Ilene."

"I see." Drandon says.

After Alice and Flora finish talking, Alice asks, "Ash, Drandon, what are you guys talking about?"

Ash says, "Oh, Drandon didn't know about my family, so I have to explain to him. You know, about how I had a sister who was killed, an aunt who was the Queen of Rota..."

Alice notices Ash's face and she says, "Okay, you don't need to tell us more about it. We know the pain from your family."

Drandon says, "Indeed. After hearing it, I can tell how Ash is really strong right now..."

Ash says, "My family didn't have to do with my enthusiasm for Pokemon."

A few days later, Ash and Alice are continuing their search for the Dragon Type Pokemon, mostly from the Galar and the Paldea Region. They arrive at the Split Decision Ruins in the Crown Tundra, and Alice says, "So this is where Regidrago is located?"

"Yeah. It's a good thing we have Regigigas with us." Ash says.

After pressing the buttons on the ground, Regidrago appears and Regigigas is using its dots to contact with the Dragon Pokemon, eventually joining Ash and Alice's team.

"Now that's done. I guess we can return to Sevestar Island." Ash says.

"So Ash, may I ask how you met your Dragapult? I mean, he always likes to have you take care of her little Dreepys." Alice says.

"I caught Dragapult as a Drakloak when I was at Lake of Outrage. The Dreepy that was on her head was missing and she put Pikachu on her head. We decided to help him find the Pokemon, and eventually, we found it trapped in a net by Team Rocket. In the end, Drakloak joined my team."

"That's nice." Alice says.

Dragapult: Ability: Clear Body. Moves: Last Resort, U-turn, Phantom Force, Dragon Dance, Dragon Darts, Dragon Rush

Regidrago: Ability: Dragon's Maw. Moves: Explosion, Hyper Beam, Hammer Arm, Dragon Dance, Dragon Energy, Crunch

And after a few days, Alice finally graduates from the school. Alice hugs Ash and says, "I've done it! I got the graduate."

"Congratulations." Ash says. "I'm happy for you."

Valerie says, "Indeed. Now with the degree, you are able to access more jobs that you want."

"But I really like working with my husband." Alice says while clinging to Ash's arm. "And I'm also happy that none of the classmates have bullied me and they all become my friends."

"That's good to hear." Ash says. "So what should we do to celebrate? How about we have a feast?"

"That sounds like a good idea." Alice says.

After hearing the news, everyone congratulates Alice and Helen decides to cook a big meal for everyone. And while they are preparing, Ash and Alice decide to capture the rest of the Dragon Type Pokemon there.

The first one is Cyclizar, which they find in East Province Area One. The Pokemon was surprised to see Koraidon and Miraidon, but he is willing to join their team in the end. Then they also go to Cassaroya Lake and capture a special Tatsugiri which can change forms of its free will, so they capture it and it also becomes good friends with Dondozo.

And at the nearby cave in Glaseado Mountain, they find a Frigibax and captures it. Alice really likes the Pokemon since it is also an Ice Type, and they also train it until it becomes the powerful Baxcalibur.

And the final Pokemon is back in Area Zero, they find a Roaring Moon and capture it. Alice is also surprised to see how it looks like a permanent Mega Salamence.

Cyclizar: Ability: Shed Skin. Moves: Double-Edge, Shed Tail, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Rush, Taunt, Shift Gear

Tatsugiri: Ability: Commander. Moves: Tera Blast (Water), Chilling Water, Muddy Water, Soak, Mirror Coat, Dragon Pulse

Baxcalibur: Ability: Thermal Exchange. Moves: Take Down, Ice Beam, Icicle Crash, Dragon Claw, Glaive Rush, Crunch

Roaring Moon: Ability: Protosynthesis. Moves: Double-Edge, Roost, Dragon Rush, Scale Shot, Night Slash, Throat Chop

After they return to Sevestar Island, everyone is happy to see Alice as they already prepare a huge meal. Eve says, "Congratulations on graduating from school."

"Yeah, since you're already working, that means we can spend more time together with a lot of the projects." Flora says.

"I was with you guys using the Double Team, you know. But you're right. Now that I graduated, it means I can use less energy to use Double Team." Alice says.

Then they decide to celebrate by having karaoke, and the main character of the party, Alice, also sings a lot of songs for them. Drandon says, "We're really lucky to hear the Colors Band without buying tickets."

"You're right about that, but you have to admit that Alice is really good at singing." Mark adds.

Then they also play some games and have some fun, until it is time for the two of them to rest.

The next day, Ash and Alice are now training their Dragon Type Pokemon, and Alice says, "So do you think we're going to use our new disguise?"

"Maybe, I wonder what disguise that we're going to do this time..." Ash says.

Just then, an Abra appears and he sends a letter to both Ash and Alice. Once they take the letters, Ash says, "I wonder what's that about."

"And whose Abra was it?" Alice asks with confusion.

Here is a new chapter, and as you can see, this chapter is just how Ash explains his family and how Drandon and Flora are in a relationship. I hope you like this chapter and who is the one that sends Abra to send them a letter?
