Chapter 1
The Sevestar Region, renowned for its seven celestial bodies, stands as an enchanting haven that attracts globetrotters from far and wide. It's not just the top-notch services offered by the esteemed RPA Company that entice visitors; the region boasts a staggering 18 gyms, each representing a distinct Pokémon type for challengers to conquer. Beyond the gyms, the allure of contests and showcases holds sway over the hearts of every resident and traveler in the region.
The Elite Four of Sevestar is a force to be reckoned with, distinguished by their mastery of dual Pokémon types, a rarity in the Pokémon world. These elite trainers are globally acclaimed for their prowess, wielding formidable techniques like Mega Evolution, Z Moves, and the awe-inspiring Dynamax phenomenon. They owe their exceptional skills to none other than the region's revered Champion, Ashura Red Satoshi Ketchum, fondly known as Ash Ketchum, who alongside Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, sculpted the very foundation of the Sevestar Region.
At 20 years old, Ash now occupies a serene spot within his office, poring over stacks of job applications from eager candidates vying for positions within the RPA Company. By his side sits Pikachu, his faithful companion, perched on his shoulder and offering silent camaraderie as Ash delves into the paperwork. A warm smile graces Ash's features as he affectionately pets Pikachu, eliciting a delighted squeak of contentment from the electric mouse Pokémon. Meanwhile, a Greninja occupies the room's periphery, engrossed in a televised news report highlighting the disturbing trend of Pokémon poaching in the region, its eyes narrowing in concern at the troubling footage.
Pikachu's voice breaks the solemn silence in the office. "It's been five years since that happened, isn't it?" the electric Pokémon remarks, a touch of melancholy in its tone.
Ash's expression darkens as he recalls the painful memory of betrayal. It was a day etched in his mind—the day he returned to Pallet Town from Uva Academy for Winter Vacation, only to stumble upon a shocking confrontation. Inside his home, voices clashed in a heated argument between his closest friends and his own mother, Delia. Among them were Misty, Brock, May, Dawn, Iris, Cilan, Clemont, Mallow, Kiawe, Sophocles, Lana, and even his rival from Unova, Trip. Their words cut deep as they tried to coerce Delia into persuading Ash to abandon his dreams. Despite Delia's unwavering support for her son, the pressure weighed heavily on her.
The urge to unleash Pikachu's electric power surged within Ash, but he held it back, knowing that violence wouldn't solve anything. Together with Pikachu, he fled to Professor Oak's Lab, seeking solace and counsel from trusted mentors—Professor Oak, Gary, and Tracy. As Ash poured out his heart, anger bubbled within the trio at the injustice of Ash's situation and the betrayal he faced from those he once called friends.
Determined to prove his worth and defy the doubters, Ash implored Professor Oak to gather all his Pokémon so he could embark on a journey of redemption. However, tragedy struck before his plans could fully take shape. A pillar of smoke rose from Ash's home, signaling a devastating fire. Rushing back, dread gnawed at his heart as he feared for his mother's safety.
The scene that awaited him was a nightmare turned reality. Delia lay lifeless, a cruel victim of murder. Ash's world shattered as he beheld the murderers—his former friends, the traitors—fleeing the scene. Their ominous warning echoed in his ears, threatening him with a fate akin to his mother's if he dared to pursue his dreams. Adding to his agony, the authorities arrived, only to find a grim tableau that pointed accusing fingers at Ash. The evidence seemed damning, painting him as his mother's killer.
Overwhelmed by grief and injustice, Ash found himself unable to fight back. Yet, just as despair threatened to consume him, a mysterious light enveloped him, whisking him away from Kanto's turmoil to a remote island, a solitary refuge from the chaos and heartache that had engulfed his life.
"I know... I'm glad there is someone who stands by my side," Ash murmurs, a mix of gratitude and sorrow evident in his voice.
In the depths of his recollection, Ash's salvation from wrongful arrest unveils a divine intervention. It was none other than Arceus, the creator Pokémon, who intervened, rallying all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon in outrage at the false accusations. With their collective might, they shielded Ash from the clutches of injustice, allowing him to forge a new identity and appearance as he sought sanctuary on the secluded shores of Sevestar Island.
As news of the fabricated accusations spread like wildfire across the nine regions, Ash's innocence seemed an elusive truth. Even Professor Oak, renowned for his wisdom and influence, found himself powerless against the weight of false evidence. Among the painful betrayals, Serena's disbelief and condemnation cut deepest, fracturing Ash's heart with the sting of her once-friendship turned cold.
Yet, amidst the darkness, glimmers of loyalty and solidarity emerged. Gary Oak, recognizing the injustice, rallied a band of allies who stood steadfastly by Ash's side. Lillie, Gladion, Paul, Goh, Chloe, Penny, Arven, Nemona, Sawyer, Alain, and even Director Clavell extended their unwavering support, defying the prevailing narrative and standing as beacons of hope in Ash's tumultuous journey.
Director Clavell and Chairwoman Geeta, acknowledging the gravity of Ash's situation, granted him the cover of a false identity and awarded him a degree from Uva Academy, affording him the opportunity to pursue alternative avenues for employment. Under this guise, Ash embarked on a quest to reclaim his honor and prove his worth. He challenged and triumphed over the formidable nine Leagues, showcasing his unmatched skill and resilience. However, he chose not to assume the title of Champion from these regions, a testament to his humility and refusal to let tainted glory define his victories.
As a knock echoes through the office, Ash turns his attention towards the door, his voice composed yet expectant. "You can come in."
Stepping into the room is a woman with striking maroon hair, clad in the distinctive attire of a Pokémon Professor. Perched on her shoulder is an Eevee, a testament to her close bond with Pokémon. This is Chloe Cerise, the esteemed Professor of the Sevestar Region. Initially hesitant when offered the role by Ash after the region's inception, Chloe has since blossomed into a renowned figure, revered not just locally but globally, even eclipsing the legacy of her father.
"Champion Red, there's a letter for you from Mr. Goodshow and Scott," Chloe announces, her tone professional yet warm.
Handing over the letter, Ash scans its contents with furrowed brows, absorbing the message penned by the respected figures:
Dear Red Satoshi,
Congratulations on your region's international acclaim. However, a challenge awaits as Champions and the Kalos Queen plan to send two trainers each to test your Pokémon League. Prepare your Gym Leaders for formidable opponents.
Goodshow.
P.S.: Glad you're safe, Ash. Be wary of the traitors in your midst; keep a level head.
Scott.
"Are they fucking kidding me?" Ash mutters, a hint of anger seeping into his voice. "Testing our own League? Do they think so little of us?"
Chloe's response carries a note of understanding. "I know you're frustrated, Ash. But remember, not all Champions share their sentiment. Like Lillie and Diantha..."
"Four Champions believe I'm guilty...even the Kalos Queen," Ash interrupts, his tone laced with bitterness. "Summon the Elite Four. We need to discuss this immediately."
Recognizing the gravity of the situation and Ash's mounting anger, Chloe nods in agreement, swiftly exiting the office to gather the Elite Four for the urgent meeting, opting not to linger in the tense atmosphere.
"See you tomorrow, Professor," one of the students bids farewell, expressing appreciation for the lecture.
Eve Urup, a striking figure with raven hair and a black dress that exudes an air of mystique, nods in acknowledgment. She watches as her students disperse, their voices fading into the distance as they leave the classroom. Gathering her textbooks, Eve makes her way back to her office, a space adorned with botanical motifs reflecting her expertise as a Grass/Dark Specialist and the esteemed status of being the first member of the Elite Four.
"I'm glad I didn't have to assign any detentions today. A break at home sounds wonderful," Eve murmurs to herself, a hint of weariness in her voice as she arranges the books on her desk.
However, her respite is short-lived as her phone buzzes with an incoming call from Chloe. Reading the message, Eve's expression shifts to one of slight dismay. "Change of plans... we're headed to Silkan City. There goes my extra rest time," she mutters, resigned to the sudden shift in her schedule.
"Geez... can you please calm down for a second? You're scaring everyone here," a bold voice cuts through the tense atmosphere as a boy with vibrant pink hair steps forward bravely, facing down an enraged Dragonite.
"Dodge it, Salamence!" The boy's command is swift and resolute, his demeanor showing a blend of determination and compassion. As Dragon Pulse hurtles towards them, the boy maneuvers skillfully, guiding his Salamence to evade the attack just in time.
With a swift move, the boy conjures a protective shield, deflecting the Dragon Pulse and diffusing the immediate threat. The impact triggers an aura around the Dragonite, its rage subsiding gradually as it feels the calming effect of the shield.
"There, Dragonite. No one is going to harm you now. You can ease your anger," the boy soothes, his hand gently caressing the Dragonite's scales as it rumbles in acknowledgment before departing from the scene, its aggression quelled.
This is Drandon Ryuto, known as a Dragon/Flying specialist and the esteemed second member of the Elite Four. Drandon is part of the legendary Dragon Foursome, renowned as the Defensive Dragon Knight, entrusted with the daunting task of taming even the most formidable and fierce dragons. Expressing gratitude to the onlookers for their understanding, Drandon receives an urgent call that prompts a sigh of resignation.
"Apologies, everyone, but duty calls. I must make my way to Silkan City. For any assistance needed, please contact my sister for now," Drandon announces, mounting his loyal Salamence swiftly before soaring away, his presence leaving a lingering impression of courage and compassion amidst the chaos.
"That was quite a refreshing swim," a raven-haired boy remarks as he strolls back to the sun-kissed beach, clad only in his swim trunks. As he removes his goggles, his visage bears a striking resemblance to Ash's altered appearance. This is Mark Ketchum, also known as Mark Satoshi, a formidable Fighting/Water Type Pokémon user and Ash's second brother. While Ash holds the prestigious title of Champion, Mark manages a flourishing resort nestled in Greeny City within the Sevestar Region.
Settling onto the soft beach sand, Mark lets out a contented sigh. "Nothing like a moment of relaxation to ease the burdens," he murmurs, his eyes drifting to the endless expanse of the sea.
However, the tranquility is short-lived as the familiar ringtone of his brother Ash's call pierces the calm ambiance. Mark's expression shifts, a subtle shadow crossing his features as he mutters under his breath, "And just like the waves, the painful memories come crashing back."
A tense silence hangs in the air as a white-haired girl stands resolute before a terrified man, his pleas for mercy falling on deaf ears. "Please... spare me..." he mutters, desperation etched on his face.
"Why should I spare you?" The girl's voice is cold and unwavering, her eyes narrowing as she confronts the man. "Reports indicate that you've been mistreating Pokémon and evading justice. As an assassin working for the International Police, it is my duty to deliver judgment."
The man's resolve wavers as he attempts to mount a defense, but the girl moves with calculated precision, effortlessly dodging his feeble attack. With a swift motion, she draws a bow and arrow, aiming it directly at his heart. "Enjoy your time in hell," she murmurs, her voice devoid of remorse as she releases the deadly shot.
As the arrow finds its mark and the man's life fades away, the girl exhales heavily, the weight of her duty evident in her eyes. Retrieving her phone, she calmly reports, "The target has been eliminated. You may claim the body."
This girl is Alice Urup, known by her alias Aurora Urup. She is not only the youngest sister of Eve Urup but also a formidable Ice/Ghost Specialist, serving as the final member of the Elite Four. However, her responsibilities extend beyond Pokémon battles; she also holds a covert role as an assassin within the International Police, tasked with dispensing justice to those who elude the law.
As the scene is resolved and the consequences of her actions are dealt with, Alice's phone rings, signaling a call from Ash. Without hesitation, she disappears from the area like a shadow, ready to face whatever challenge or task awaits her next.
Ash gazes fondly at his Pokémon, his team having grown over the years to include a diverse array of companions. Among them are Pokémon once belonging to the traitorous individuals—Dawn's Buneary, Clemont's Chespin, May's Glaceon, Misty's Starmie, and Brock's Crobat. Initially, anger flickers in Ash's eyes at the sight of these Pokémon, reminders of betrayal and past pain. However, after sensing the sincerity and loyalty in their hearts, he decides to keep Buneary by his side, while entrusting the others to his Elite Four, each respecting their respective types.
"We're here, Brother," Eve announces, leading the Elite Four—Mark, Drandon, and Alice—to stand before Ash. Drandon voices their shared concern, "We've heard the news from Chloe. Those individuals are heading our way, right?"
Ash nods gravely. "Yes, we need to tread carefully. In our region, I may hold titles and authority, but beyond these shores, I'm still branded a criminal."
Mark's frustration boils over as he mutters, "It's unjust how they framed you for Mom's death. I never even got to see her after we were torn apart."
"I understand, and we'll seek revenge soon," Ash assures them. "That's why I need you all to prepare. We must be ready to greet them as they arrive on our island."
After Eve, Drandon, and Mark depart to make necessary preparations, Ash turns to Alice, seeking her perspective. "What are your thoughts, Alice?"
Alice's warm smile conveys determination as she responds, "Leave the Kalos Queen to me. I'll make sure she learns the consequences of toying with your emotions."
A mixture of gratitude and affection fills Ash's expression as he looks at his current girlfriend and the Princess of Sevestar. Despite the challenges and shadows of the past, Alice's unwavering support and care serve as a beacon of hope and strength for him.
Hello everyone, this is the new version of Sevestar Prince. There is something I need to clarify in this story. Even though I'm an Amourshipper, I have to apologize that I will be writing a lot of bad things for Serena because of this story, so please, if you're an Amourshipper, read Hisui, Reborn, or Kalos instead of this one. And the pairing will be mainly Ash and Alice pairing, I hope you like this chapter.
