Chapter 4
It takes two months for Ash and Lillie to travel around the region and meet up with the other representatives. There are a lot of aura families, but those with the same type of aura have to pick a family to be the representatives of the royal family. And the only way to choose the family being the representative is by the Legendary or Mythical Pokemon's will. Lillie is blessed by Articuno, Kyurem, and Glastrier, which is why she is the representative.
There are a number of 18 representatives, whose names are Nate Grey (Normal), Felix Honda (Fighting), Aera Nagi (Flying), Blade Surudoi (Poison), Earnest Shirona (Ground), Radium Iwara (Rock), Surch Slater (Bug), Shade Kageyama (Ghost), Luke Stone (Steel), Helen Gravy (Fire), Reisa Mikuri (Water), Jane Rose (Grass), Elline Volt (Electric), Daniel Tulip (Psychic), Lillie Aether (Ice), Lucine Shaga (Dragon), Terry Turner (Dark), and Flora Mache (Fairy). All 18 of them have the highest power to make a difference in the Sevestar Region, and they also trust Ash's family and vice versa.
While traveling around the region, it turns out that Arceus has gathered all of the Chosen Pokemon that Ash and Lillie met during their journeys and offer them to capture those Pokemon without having to go through another region. After capturing those Pokemon, they are also in their evolved form. Ash also obtained all of the mega stones, Z Crystals, and Gigantamax so that they can be the strongest. To prove their strength, Ash also battles all the gym leaders and the Elite Four of the region and wins against them. Not all the Leaders are representatives, some of them are also Ash's own siblings. But they are amazed at Ash's strength and Ash eventually becomes the new Champion.
Outside of the Sevestar Region, ever since Ash was exposed as the Aura User, the PLA has taken action to find every hidden aura user in the world. It turns out that some of the leaders are also aura users. Like Steven, Wallace, Cynthia, Diantha, and even some Gym Leaders and Elite Four members. Fortunately, Adam manages to save all of them and now they're resting in the Sevestar Region along with the other Aura Users. The whole world is in rage as they attack the Sevestar Region by sending battleships, but none of them are able to survive the iron defense of Sevestar Island.
As for Ash's former companions, they blame themselves to be ignorant of who Ash really is, and it broke Ash as his travel companions just throw away their friendship like that. But he doesn't care anymore. He now has a great wife and true friends and siblings who stay by his side, and he swears to make sure they pay for what they've done.
Now 4 months has passed since Ash's wedding with Lillie, Ash is standing on his balcony as he stares at the sea and the Pokemon roaming in his place.
"Ash?" Ash turns to see his princess, who is showing concern. "Are you thinking about that day again?"
"I can't help it, Lillie." Ash replies. "It has been 6 months since my Mom was killed and I lost everything..."
"You didn't lose anything, you still have your father and us..." Lillie says. "But you're right about it...what did we do to deserve the hatred from the other regions?"
Ash frowns, remembering how he and his Pokemon are leading the army of the Aura Users to block an invasion from the Hoenn Region a week ago. They lost a lot of people and they are also recovering.
Ash clenches his fist and says, "Because of what our ancestors did, aura guardians are treated as devils. And because of our powers, they are terrified that we will unleash our rage and destroy them, so they decide to get rid of us first..."
"But this is so messed up..." Lillie says with tears in her eyes. Ash frowns and he can only hug her.
"I know..." Ash frowns. "But I don't care about what they think anymore. They are just losing their armies when they try to attack us for no reason. How about we think of something else? What is Snowy doing?"
"Snowy is staying with Pikachu, they are training so that they can help us fight the next enemy." Lillie says. "I just hope there is a way to stop this war and bloodshed..."
"Me too..." Ash says. "I tried contacting the newer Champions and Mr. Goodshow for a peace talk, but they aren't buying it. In their eyes, we need to be eliminated no matter what."
"And what about our human friends?" Lillie asks. "Can't they do anything?"
Ash shakes his head, signaling that all hope for them is lost. At the same time, Ash's younger sister, Golly, walks into the room and says, "Brother, Lillie. Father called us for a meeting."
"We'll be there, Golly." Ash says as the two of them follow her to the conference room inside the castle. In the room, there are Tobias, Mark, Minami, Insey, Trenor, and Gladion. Ash and Lillie sit next to Golly and Gladion as Adam says, "Now let's start the meeting. Tobias, if you may."
Tobias says, "Yesterday, the invasion from the Hoenn Region has finally finished, we have a total of 237 Humans and Pokemon killed in the process."
"We really can't afford to lose more Pokemon and aura guardians..." Mark grits his teeth.
"And our enemies aren't just using Pokemon, they also use us Aura Guardians as slaves to fight for them as well...they don't even care that they've died in the process..." Tobias continues to say in a gloomy voice. "They brainwash those Aura users to let them think that their ancestors are evil and they are going to pay for their sins by helping them fight..."
Adam sighs, "That just proves that the fight is going to get harder and harder." He turns to Ash and asks, "And what about the peace talks with the other Champions?"
Ash replies, "None of the Champions or Mr. Goodshow wants to have peace talks with us. All they want is our elimination, each of them is stating how they are humiliated to lose to me in the World Championships, and how they will destroy and kill me."
"So that's how they think..." Adam shakes his head.
Insey raises her hand and says, "Father, we have Legendary Pokemon on our side, why can't we just use them to eliminate our enemies?"
Adam glares at his daughter and says, "Because of our ancestors, it is the whole world turning against us. Eliminating all the enemies means that we will have to do genocide, not just the people who wronged us, but also innocent Pokemon and aura users as well."
Lillie says, "People hate us because they don't know us, and they refuse to learn about us as well. To them, we are monsters and devils with crazy powers."
Minami says sarcastically, "Way to state the obvious. That doesn't help us stop the invasion all this time. I'm tired of fighting them when all they do is attack and kill."
While the meeting continues, Ash is thinking about the past, the talks with his mother, traveling the world without being treated as an aura user, and how he manages to defeat all the gyms and some of the Leagues. Everything feels like a dream, and he is lamenting the fact that he has to be awake.
Once the meeting is over, Adam has Ash and Lillie stay in the meeting room as Ash asks, "Father, what's the matter?"
"Ash, Lillie." Adam says with a tired tone. "I want to be honest with me, do you enjoy being sent to the front lines and killing our enemies just because they attacked first?"
"Of course not." Ash says. "But we have to do this. I lost Mom and I don't want to lose anyone as well..."
Adam nods and says, "I really miss your mother a lot, without her, I won't be the king I am right now. You don't know how much I really want to leave this island and destroy all of our enemies by activating "The Rumbling." But doing so only fuels more hatred between us and the 9 regions."
Lillie says, "Isn't there any way to stop the war starting from 2000 years ago?"
Adam says, "I really wish there is, that's why you're important in this, Ash, Lillie. Because you are the ones who managed to travel in the 9 regions and come back here safely."
"I guess that's true." Ash says. "What if we start to go outside Sevestar Island again? I mean, maybe we can find a way to stop the whole war outside of Sevestar."
Adam knows that Ash isn't the type of person who will rather be confined to a region and not go anywhere. He says, "Do you think you will be able to come back here alive after leaving this region?"
"We don't know, but I won't give up until it is over." Ash says.
"And if Ash wants to go, I also want to go. I am not going to leave Ash after how those traitors betray him." Lillie says.
Adam nods and Ash and Lillie manage to sneak outside of the region once more for their spying mission. And after 6 more months of traveling while not being searched, they are back and reveal the big news.
"So you say that the current World Monarch Leon Dande wants to help us?" Nate, the Normal Representative, asks. "Are you sure he can be trusted? After all, he is the World Champion and he killed a lot of us as well!"
Elline, the representative of the Electric Type Aura Users, says, "I agree, who knows what he is planning, considering he nearly gave our prince Ash Ketchum a lot of trouble!"
Adam says, "And because Ash is the only one who defeated him, which is why he decides to negotiate without the knowledge of the Galar Region's people. He also shares information about the Infinity Gems and the upcoming announcement of war."
"But the Infinity Gems are just a myth!" The representative of the Water Aura Users, Reisa, says, "We are not sure if they have the power to change the world."
"And we could just have Ash do the Rumbling." Flora, the representative of the Fairy Aura Users, replies.
Ash says, "Father, a few days ago, Arceus has come into my dream and he told me about the responsibilities of the Grand Guardians. The rumbling will only activate if I manage to meet every single Pokemon in the world, that includes Legendary Pokemon and Mythical Pokemon. And it is true that I can just do the Rumbling, but can we at first observe the plan of using the Infinity Gems? Besides, our major problem is the upcoming announcement."
"And what does Leon plan to do?" Adam asks.
"Leon also informs us that Goodshow has decided to set the bombs in the seats meant for politicians and then frame us to be the ones killing them. That way, the world will unite and attack us together." Ash says.
This causes everyone to be in a rage, and they all decide to play in their cards and refuse to be the ones being attacked. Ash and Lillie also return to the Galar Region as they prepare for the upcoming attack.
Lillie says, "So Ash, what are we going to do first?"
"There's someone I'm going to meet first before we play into their attack." Ash replies.
Here is a new chapter, and in this chapter, Ash and Lillie hear the plans of Goodshow, and the Aura Users refuse to be the ones who was being attacked. What is going to happen in the next chapter? I hope you like this chapter.
