Chapter 11
The Gym Leaders and Elite Four members of the Sevestar League aren't the same as the Representatives. Since the League members are usually giving challenges to trainers who want to challenge the league, while representatives are doing the political work in the Sevestar Region.
The Leaders are Nate (Normal), Insey (Bug), Flora (Grass), Felix (Fighting), Reisa (Water), Elline (Electric), Trenor (Ground), David (Steel), Luke (Rock), Helen (Fire), Ariel (Dark), Golly (Ghost), East (Flying), Bryce (Ice), Blade (Poison), Daniel (Psychic), Minami (Fairy), and Lucine (Dragon)
The Elite Four are Eve (Grass/Dark), Drandon (Dragon/Flying), Mark (Fighting/Water), and Alice (Ice/Fairy). However, with Alice's death, they need to pick a new Ice and Fairy Type Elite Four member.
Ash says, "And that's why Lillie will be Alice's successor as the new Elite Four member."
This causes everyone to be surprised. Golly asks, "Are you sure, Lillie? I mean, I thought you didn't like to be a part of the League like Ash..."
Lillie says, "That was in the past, however, Alice is also my best friend, and I want to continue her wishes, which is why I will be taking her role."
Flora says, "Well, the Pokemon you like to use is almost the same as Alice, it is no wonder you are a perfect choice."
"Though I doubt anyone will be able to get to you." Eve chuckles. "We are actually the strongest League in this world, only that people outside this region refuse to admit it."
"That might be a problem. And we are also one of the best battlers in this era." Ash says. "We are also the ones who are going in the front lines. Since our attack in Wyndon, all 8 regions will team up and attack us together. Their estimated time to attack might be in 2 to 3 months."
Daniel says, "Prince Ash, I'm sorry, but as one of the Aura Families who is able to watch the future, I want to say that they will actually come within a month."
"A month?" Ash asks. "Daniel, I know that your visions aren't always wrong, but how come they will attack in just one month?"
Daniel says, "That's because they knew that we might think they would need to prepare for 2 to 3 months. So they want to use it as a sneak attack to catch us off guard."
Felix says, "I guess that makes sense. I mean, if I were in their shoes, I would definitely want to give a sneak attack."
Ash nods, "Very well, that means we need to train harder and we don't want to lose any more comrades on this island. And there is also important news that I need to reveal to you. I have the power to activate the Rumbling."
This causes everyone in the room except for Ash's siblings to gasp in shock. East says, "Does that mean you know how to do it, Ash?"
Ash says, "Two hours ago, I have a meeting with Arceus, one is to ask about the Infinity Gems, and the next one is about the Rumbling. I have all the conditions for doing the Rumbling, if they manage to attack, the Rumbling will be able to fight them back and probably also destroy all the other regions outside of Sevestar."
Then they continue to have their usual meeting, and once they are done, Ash and Lillie are now at the president's office in RPA Company. RPA is actually a company set up by Ash and Lillie together, they are doing this because they want Sevestar Island to become a region and they need a lot of services and welfare, as well as economic growth.
Ash sits at the table while Lillie walks in with the secretary outfit, Ash asks, "What's with that outfit?"
Lillie asks, "Why? I'm your secretary, and I have to help you with the business in the region."
"Yeah. But I have to say, you look really sexy in that outfit." Ash says as he stares at Lillie, the outfit consists of a white blouse and a short black skirt, and she is wearing leggings with high heels.
"You think so?" Lillie smirks. "I hope that won't distract you from doing your work. I will give you a reward once you finish with the papers."
Ash pouts a little and says, "Fine, but you'd better help me."
Lillie smiles as they start to work together with the papers of the reports.
Back in Gary's lab, every one of Ash's former travel companions is gathered there. Gary is already healed as they are met with Chairman Rose, who is the one that asks for the meeting.
"After investigating the Wyndon Stadium, we find nothing of Leon's body remains. And we also notice that the bombs that are actually from my own company that was stolen." Rose says. "We believe that it is Leon who stole it and has allied with enemy forces of the Sevestar and he escaped on their airship."
This causes everyone to tense up, and Rose continues, "The meeting is supposed to be held a secret, but the devils of Sevestar know the meeting and even attack during the spot. I doubt that Ash Ketchum or his wife can easily sneak in such high security, and not to mention Hop and his family were also missing after the meeting."
Max grits his teeth, "Damn it! He is the strongest trainer and the World Champion, to think he is actually a traitor?"
"Of course, we have no intention to let this end here." Rose says, "Within the next 3 months, the global military alliance will conduct a mopping-up operation against the Sevestar Island."
Misty says, "3 months? Is that how long we have to wait to rescue Goh and Chloe?"
"The chance of winning is slim if we attack Sevestar on our own, considering we lose every battle independently." Rose closes his eyes.
"Ash and Lillie must be thinking the same thing." Gary suddenly says. "That the World's army won't attack immediately after taking such a massive blow. And they probably have something planned during these months. We can't wait for the world's army to get ready. We must attack Sevestar right now." Now everyone looks at Gary with determination.
The next day, Ash and Lillie bring Chloe into a special room, the room is surrounded by mist and Chloe is a little terrified. Chloe says, "What is this place?"
Ash says, "This is the Chamber of Aura. A Chamber that transforms normal humans into an Aura users. And that is going to be your punishment for sneaking into our region."
Chloe pales and asks, "Y-you want me to become an aura user like you..."
Lillie says, "Having aura is not terrible, instead, it is a gift to get close to your Pokemon and understand everything. Leon and his family have changed into aura users like us last night, and so are some of the people we brought into the region. Like Lance, Alder, Geeta, Director Clavell."
Chloe notices the names and she recognizes them as the missing people who were said to be killed by Aura Users. So they are still alive this whole time and they have become aura users? Lillie says, "Lance's family is now Dragon Aura Users, Alder is Bug, Leon is Fire, Geeta is Rock, and Director Clavell is Psychic. They are now living on this island and helping us with the development and military training."
Ash says, "Those who have the sympathy of aura users outside the world are also being killed, and we'll also make sure to bring your parents and do the same as well. The protective shield can't hold much longer and I'm sure that the government is waiting for it to get down so they can kill your parents."
Chloe feels sick after hearing that, she starts to wonder why she doesn't want to be a devil-like them. She takes a breath and says, "I'll do it, if being a devil saves me and my parents, so be it."
Ash and Lillie smile as they leave the room and lock the door, Ash says through the speaker, "Chloe. Your transformation is now beginning, just stay still and wait for the process to be done."
Chloe nods as she closes her eyes, she feels slight pain from the beams hitting her from all sides, but she endures everything until the process is done. When Ash and Lillie enter the room again, Ash helps Chloe up and feels a little zapping just by touching his hands.
"Well, Chloe. Congratulations. You are an Electric Type Aura User now." Ash says.
"Electric Type?" Chloe asks. "What does that mean?"
"It means you basically can use electricity as your attacking weapon. Creating thunderstorms, attacking through electronic devices, and so on." Lillie says.
Chloe nods as she says, "So can I use the powers to save my family now?"
"Of course, and we'll come with you because you aren't trained yet." Ash says.
After the meeting with Rose, Gary is now at Vermilion City as he is worried about Chloe's parents. Goh's parents are already dead and that's why Goh is keen on wanting to eliminate Aura Users for revenge. But just as he arrives at the lab, he notices that the police are destroying everything.
"What is going on here?" Gary asks one of the police members, and the police say, "We've got orders from the government. Since Goh and Chlose have betrayed the Kanto region by going into their ship, their parents will suffer their actions."
Gary widens his eyes and says, "You've got it wrong, Goh wanted to kill the aura users by himself, and Chloe was worried he couldn't do it on his own and that's why they snuck up to that airship."
"That might be true, but they should have informed the Kanto government first." The other police member says. "Although Goh's parents are already dead a year ago, Professor Cerise and his family are still nowhere to be found in this lab."
Gary feels sad after hearing that, but just then, lightning storms occur and the police are fried into pieces, Gary gasps, "What the..."
He rushes outside to see the thunderstorm raining on Vermilion City and the lightning is hitting the police members. And in front of them, Ash Ketchum is standing in front of him.
"Ash?" Gary asks in shock, before turning into anger, "Did you summon the Thunder storm with your aura powers?"
"I'm not the one who summoned the thunderstorm. But I'm here to retrieve Professor Cerise and his family." Ash says.
"As if we will let you take them away." Gary tries to send out Electivire to attack, but Ash says, "So you want to leave them to die in the hands of the corrupted government? I might be heartless, but I'm not that heartless to send those who take care of me to death. I am more than willing to kill you right here, but I'm sure that a month later, you'll be attacking our region and we'll use the Rumbling to stop you."
Gary freezes in shock, "How did you know-"
"Do you think we believe you will attack after 2 or 3 months and lower our guard because of that? That's when you're wrong. But I'll give you a warning: Once I activate the Rumbling, you are on my kill list."
Then after Ash leaves, the storm is gone, and Gary turns around to see that the Cerise Lab has disappeared. He wonders if he should be scared of Ash's warning or not.
Here is a new chapter, and in this chapter, Chloe has become an aura user. And just as they planned, Gary and the others are planning to attack after a month. What is going to happen in the next chapter? I hope you like it.
