Sorry for late update.

Anyways let's come to reviews


DylanGreninja :

Excellent Chapter

Thank you for your kind review.


YamiChaos27 :

Minor spelling correction: It Moltres, not Moltrass.

Yeesh! Suddenly finding out that his own father is essentially the biggest man in the world in more ways than one, I don't blame Ash for being shocked into silence.

Still, you'd think the head of the international police who has kept tabs on his own son's league runs would've been better informed about said son's victory over the evil teams. Heck, wasn't Looker involved in the Galactic incident?

Red lecturing Ash on his 'somewhat' overconfidence in his first league. Boy did Ash's first regional journey show how overconfident and not to mention HOLY unprepared he was! He clearly had no idea what he was doing, like he hadn't studied anything about Pokemon training whatsoever. You can argue that only half of his Kanto badges were earned 100% legitimately, while the other half was not. The Boulder Badge was basically given to him out of pity, the Cascade and Rainbow Badges had their battles interrupted by Team Rocket and Ash was given them for his heroic deeds instead of the battles(and the less said about the perfume nonsense the better), and his Marsh Badge was given to him on a technicality(what with Psychic types being so overpowered back then making it near impossible for a rank amateur like Ash was to stand a chance). Adding his cocky and immature attitude, the lack of actual onscreen training, and the way his first league run ended, suffice to say, an embarrassing start to his career indeed.

And don't get me started on his Unova journey where, after how well he did in Sinnoh, he felt like he took two steps backwards, making downright rookie mistakes that he should've been above by that point(a certain fiasco at the electric type gym comes to mind)! At the beginning, his Pikachu somehow lost to a straight-out-of-the-gate newbie trainer and his rookie Snivy(yes Pikachu was electrically de-powered by the encounter with Zekrom, but even still that handicap should not have been an issue for a team with as much experience as them against a team that was literally just starting out). And in my opinion, Unova gave Ash his most embarrassing league loss against arguably an even bigger idiot than him(I mean not only did the opponent keep throwing out Pokemon with a major type disadvantage, but he was stupid enough to bring only five pokemon to a six-on-six battle, how did Ash lose to this moron!?)!

Ahem...sorry for ranting...

Anyway looking forward to the next chapter! And especially that upcoming reunion!

First of all thanks for the review, and sorry for the spelling mistake might have been a typing error.

Red maybe the head of International Police but we can't deny that due to security reasons the name of persons saving the world is never revealed to any member of the International Police except the one who had worked him, no one know about his real name. So when Looker worked with Ash in Sinnoh and Unova, he only said that a trainer did these things but never revealed his name due to security purposes. As who knows if there is a mole in the international police.

Now coming to Ash's Kanto journey then you are right he was holy overconfident and unprepared and most of his Kanto Badges were not earned in a right way. I will try to see what can I do about that in my story.

Coming to Ash's Unova Journey, then I don't have words to tell how shit that league was. So let's just not start talks about that otherwise we all will continue complaining and they will never end.

Hope you would like the reunion in this part.

Royalfighter95 :

Will we see ash come up new ideas for his Pokémon like these that know rock slide or stone could be used as barrier to shield themselves from coming attacks, these that know ice punch or ice beam to form a ice wall to shield themselves or reflect the attack back at them, and these that know hyper voice, supersonic or screech could be use to halve the attack so it would dual less damage to them.

Well first of all thanks for the review.

Nowcoming to your question, so yes Ash would come up with such new ideas in battles.


Ch - 6

Special Part

In Kalos

" Serena Yvonne, since childhood you were the only girl who captured my heart. We have been dating for years now. Would you give me a chance to marry you? ", asked Ash while sitting on one leg, with a red velvet box containing a beautiful diamond ring.

"Yes, Ash, I would love to marry you. I have only loved you and will only marry you. " Serena replied in a happy tone.

Ash slid the ring onto her finger, then stood up and kissed her, which she responded to with equal passion.

Suddenly Serena felt as if something hit her head, so she opened her eyes only to see that

THIS WAS ALL A DREAM

Serena was annoyed because she was forced to wake up and, most importantly, was not even able to complete her dream because of her mother's Fletchling.

"Fletchling", Serena screamed angrily. Fletchling giggled and made her way out of the room. Serena huffed at her.

After doing her morning routine, Serena made her way downstairs and asked her mother, "Why do you have to wake me up every day? "

" Because without her using peck , you do not wake up from your beauty sleep , now come and have your breakfast we are leaving in an hour " , Grace answered .

" Ok, mom, but where is dad? " Serena asked, looking around the house.

" Don't worry, he is just on a call and would be here any minute; so you just focus on your breakfast, " Grace ordered her daughter.

Serena agreed and started eating her breakfast with her mother. Soon, their father joined them. They talked with each other for a while and then left the house to go to the airport, where they would take a flight to Rota.

When they reached the airport, John went to check the flight while Serena and Grace saw some people trying to attack two Pokémon. Seeing them attacking innocent Pokémon, it was like Ash's soul came into Serena's body as she stood in front of those Pokémon to stop them from attacking.

" Hey girl, get away from our way; we have to punish these Pokémon for stealing our food. ", one man said.

"No, even if they stole your food, you can't hit them until I am here, " Serena said with full confidence and courage in her voice, which surprised her mother.

"Just stop, and don't try to save them; they deserve punishment, " said another man.

" If you want, I would pay for the food they stole, but you won't touch these Pokémon ", Serena said, to which both the Pokémon looked at her in awe, as to how a random girl is trying to protect them.

" If you'd pay for the food, then we'll spare them, " said the first man.

So Serena paid for the food that the two Pokémon stole, after receiving money, both of those men left, while Serena turned towards the Pokémon and knelt in front of them.

" Hey, don't worry, they won't hurt you now. You both are safe, but try not to steal again. Okay? " said Serena with her beautiful smile.

Both Pokémon looked down after hearing what Serena said, which she noticed and asked, "Hey, why don't you both come with me if you don't have any problems with it? "

Both Pokémon looked at her with stars in their eyes and nodded in yes while hugging the honey-blonde girl with a smile on their faces. Serena then took out two empty Pokéballs and caught them in it, then after releasing, scanned her Pokédex to know more about her new Pokémon.


Pancham

The playful Pokémon , fighting type. Wanting to make sure it's taken seriously, Pancham's always giving others a glare. But if it's not focusing , it ends up smiling. It chooses a Pangoro as its master and then imitates its master's actions. This is how it learns to battle and hunt for prey.

" Aww , you both are so cute , wait I have something for you too " , Serena said while taking out a basket from her bag which contained poke puffs. She gave one to each Pokémon. Both Pokémon liked it a lot and thanked their new trainer for giving them food.

While this was happening, Grace was seeing her daughter with a loving smile. She knew that her daughter got this confidence after meeting Ash. She only wished that Ash returned her feelings.

After a while, Serena returned her Pokémon and went back to where her mother was standing. At the same time, John returned and asked, "Something happened? " To which Grace told him how Serena caught two Pokémon. John was impressed with his daughter because she bravely stood in front of those people to protect the Pokémon.

" I am proud of you, Serena ", said John in a proud tone. To which Serena thanked him. John then took both Grace and Serena to the place where their plane was standing. Both of them were amazed to see the plane but were also confused that, except them, nobody was present there.

"Dad, why isn't there anyone else here except us?" Serena asked curiously.

" Because this is a private jet and it was sent by my friend to pick us up " , John said .

Serena and Grace were amazed and excited as they were going to sit in a private jet for the first time . After going inside, all of them got seated and started their journey to Rota, which is of 7 hours . They don't have to worry about getting dressed for the party as they have their own bedroom in the plane and could change there before exiting .


Rota (in morning)

" Serena Yvonne , since childhood you were the only girl who captured my heart , we have been dating for years now , would you give me a chance to marry you " , asked Ash while sitting on one leg and proposing with a red velvet box containing a beautiful diamond ring .

"Yes, yes, yes, Ash, I would love to marry you; I have only loved you and will only marry you, " replied Serena in a happy tone.

Ash slid the ring onto her finger, then stood up and kissed her, which she responded to with equal passion.

Suddenly, Ash felt as if something was sitting on his shoulders. After separating from the kiss, he looked around and saw Serena was not there; Pikachu was sitting on his shoulders.

" Hey, Pikachu, what are you doing here? " asked a confused Ash. He didn't know where Serena went, as she was with him a minute ago. Pikachu didn't reply; instead, it shocked Ash with a thunderbolt.

Ash screamed and opened his eyes only to realize this was just a dream. He sighed sadly and just got up to do his morning chores. Pikachu was surprised that Ash didn't do his usual screaming thing that he did. Knowing his best friend very well, Pikachu knew something was up with him.

After Ash returned with his usual Unova clothes, Pikachu decided to ask him.

{What happened to you, Ash? Why are you so sad? }, asked Pikachu.

" Nothing much, pikachu. I just dreamed of Serena again. " replied Ash.

{But you had her dreams before, so what happened today? } asked Pikachu.

" I don't know, but I miss her a lot today, but along with it, there is a feeling that I am not able to figure out. " , said Ash.

{What kind of feeling?}, Pikachu asked curiously.

" I don't know, but it's giving me some kind of happiness, like something big is about to happen today, which will bring a positive change in our lives. " said Ash.

{Ok so why don't we go for breakfast now? You're royalty now, so you should be on time now.} said Pikachu.

"Yes, you are right, let's go, " said Ash.

"Come fast, I wanna eat my ketchup, " said Pikachu while bolting towards the dining hall, where his family was seated. Ash shook his head, seeing his buddy's love for ketchup, and reached there as well.

Whole family had a hearty breakfast which contained Chile Relleno , Lansat berry cheese quiche , pancakes , fried egg and starf berry toast with some pinap juice and razz berry smoothie.

After breakfast Illene said , " Your pokemon had arrived from the lab so you can call them out in the back garden where all your pokemon can roam freely " .

" Okay, Aunt Illene, " Ash replied.

" Brother, we wanna see your Pokémon. Can we come too? " asked an excited Leaf.

"Sure, and why don't you all come so you can meet them? " asked Ash.

All agreed and came to the back garden where Ash is going to release his Pokémon.

" Okay, so first of all, my Kanto Pokémon. But since there are a lot of them, it would take time. " Ash said, putting the box he was carrying, which contained his Pokéballs, on the ground.

Ash first grabbed 7 Pokeballs and threw them in the air, revealing Pidgeot, Bulbasaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Muk, Kingler, and Snorlax. All of them gave their respective cries and greeted their trainer in their own special way. Pidgeot gave a nod, Bulbasaur jumped into his arms, Charizard used a Flamethrower, Blastoise used a gentle Bubble Beam, Muk gave him a bone-crushing hug, Kingler shook hands (or in his case, claws), while Snorlax just happily waved his hands.

Rosa and Leaf were astonished to see all the Kanto starters while Red was observing the Pidgeot, which was much larger than any other normal Pidgeot.

" Wow, Ash, you have all the Kanto starters! " said Rosa in an impressed tone.

" Brother, you have a Bulbasaur as well, " Leaf asked excitedly.

" Hey Leaf, why did you say that? " , asked Ash .

" Because Bulbasaur was my starter as well " , Leaf replied to which Ash nodded .

"All your Pokémon are so cute, " said Leaf. All Pokémon nodded their heads in appreciation except Charizard, who was growling, saying, {From which angle am I cute?} Ash was able to calm down Charizard by saying something.

Then Ash grabbed another nine pokeballs, revealing Primeape, Gengar, Tyrogue, Abra, and his five Eevee's, who gave their respective cries after coming out. Primeape took Ash's hat from his head, Gengar swirled around him while laughing, Tyrogue just nodded, Abra teleported himself and sat on Ash's head, and all five Eevee's (2 males and 3 females) hugged their trainer.

All were surprised to see these Pokémon, especially Delia, so she asked, "Ash, I don't remember you having these Pokémon. "

"Yes, Ash, you've never used any of them in any league, " added Red.

"Yes, actually, I caught these Pokémon yesterday morning, " replied Ash.

" You were able to catch these nine Pokémon yesterday, " Rosa said in a surprised tone.

Ash then explained all the events that happened at the lab, to which everyone nodded in understanding.

" Aww, your Eevee's are so cute " , said Rosa .

All nodded and grabbed six pokeballs each and released the pokemon. With a bright light, thirty Tauros emerged who started to run towards Ash but luckily Bulbasaur used Vine Whip and saved Ash from getting crushed. All except Delia were surprised to see that Ash had thirty Tauros.

" What the hell , how do you have 30 Tauros, brother ", Leaf asked.

" It's a story for another time " , replied Ash, to which Leaf huffed in annoyance.

" Seeing that Ash had 30 Tauros, he can easily open a Tauros farm " , thought Red, Rosa and Leaf .

" Well that's it for Kanto Pokémon, now it's time for my Johto team " , said Ash and grabbed six Poké Balls and released the Pokémon revealing Heracross, Bayleef, Quilava, Totodile, Noctowl, and Donphan. After giving their respective cries, Heracross sucked Ash's head with his cap still on his head, Bayleef tackled him, Quilava jumped into his arms to be petted by him, Totodile bit his head, Noctowl just rotated his head 90 degrees, and Donphan used Rollout on him.

His family members, except Delia, were intrigued by the way Ash's pokemon showed affection towards him.

" I'm impressed; you have the Johto starter trio, too, " said Rosa.

" And a shiny Noctowl as well " , added Leaf.

After thanking them for the praise, Ash said, "Now it's time for Hoenn's Pokémon. " Saying this, he grabbed five Poké Balls, releasing a Swellow, Sceptile, Corphish, Torkoal, and Glalie.

Swellow greeted Ash by sitting on his shoulders, Sceptile nodded his head towards his trainer then put the twig in his mouth and went to greet Charizard, Corphish tackled Ash as well, Torkoal released black smoke which resulted in Ash's face getting black while Glalie froze Ash, which was melted by Torkoal's flamethrower on him.

Rosa and Leaf were watching the Pokémon with interest when suddenly Red asked something that shocked both of them. "Ash, your Sceptile is the one who defeated a Darkrai in the Sinnoh League, right?" he said.

" YOUR SCEPTILE DEFEATED A DARKRAI " , yelled Rosa and Leaf .

" Hey it's not that big of a deal " , Ash replied.

" HOW " , asked Rosa and Leaf .

" Because Ash's Charizard had defeated an Articuno while his Pikachu had defeated a Regice and had tied with a Latios " , said Red .

"WHAT", Rosa and Leaf yelled again.

"Umm, yes, " Ash replied nervously.

" I can't believe brother, your Pikachu defeated a Regice and tied with a Latios" , said Leaf in a shocked tone .

" And your Charizard defeated an Articuno " , added Rosa in a shocked tone as well .

" HOW " , asked Rosa and Leaf in unison .

" Well, I will tell you later. First, let me release my other Pokémon as well. " Replied Ash, to which both of them nodded, while Red and Delia chuckled at their interaction.

Ash then again grabbed six pokeballs and released a Staraptor , Torterra , Infernape , Buizel , Gliscor and Gible . After giving their respective cries, Staraptor sat on Ash's shoulder just like Swellow , Torterra nodded his head happily , Infernape fist-bumped with Ash , Gliscor stuck his tongue out with one eye closed and flew towards Ash and hugged him while Gible jumped on Ash's head and started biting him .

Others were watching their interactions. Rosa and Leaf were thinking how many more cool and unique Pokémon their brother had.

" Your Gliscor looks so cute, brother, closing one eye and sticking out his tongue, " said Leaf, to which Ash just laughed.

" I must say, Ash, your Sinnoh team looks strong, " said Rosa.

" All of my Pokémon are strong, Rosa, " Ash said while smiling at his Pokémon, to which they all smiled back. The strong bond between Ash and his Pokémon was easily sensed by the rest of the people.

" Okay, now for my Unova team, " Ash said, grabbing nine pokeballs and releasing Unfezant, Oshawatt, Pignite, Snivy, Scraggy, Leavanny, Palpitoad, Boldore, and Krookodile. All of them gave their respective cries and greeted their trainer in their own unique ways. Unfezant, like every other regional bird, greeted Ash by sitting on his shoulders. Oshawatt greeted Ash by making a cute face. Pignite greeted Ash by flexing his muscles. Snivy just nodded while keeping her both hands at the beginning of her tail. Scraggy used headbutt on Ash. Leavanny just elegantly nodded. Palpitoad gave his laugh. Boldore hugged Ash, while Krookodile nodded his head.

" Wow, brother! You have so many Pokémon! " said Leaf in excitement after seeing a variety of Pokémon.

"Actually, Leaf, there is just one Pokémon left, " said Ash.

" One more , huh " , said Leaf.

Ash nodded and released the last Pokémon from his Pokéball, which was a Riolu. The Riolu nodded its head towards Ash as a sign of greeting.

" Wow, a Riolu! " said Rosa.

" Yes I caught him the day before yesterday " , said Ash .

" Well, Ash would be useful in your aura training as well, " said Red.

Ash nodded and turned towards his Pokémon and said, "Guys, I want you all to meet other members of my family."

" You already know my mom, this is my dad, " Ash said, pointing towards his father. All his Pokemon gave their greetings, looking towards Red as if saying "Hello."

" And you know what? He's the current World Champion, an Aura Guardian, and the head of police for all regions from Kanto to Galar. " Ash said excitedly.

His Pokémon like him had stars in their eyes, knowing that their trainer's dad is the World Champion, which means exciting battles. Red chuckled, seeing that Ash's Pokémon behave like him and get more excited with the thought of battle when their opponent is tough.

" This is my elder sister Rosa , she is a Pokémon trainer like me and came top 4 in Unova " , Ash said, pointing towards Rosa . Ash's Pokémon were excited to see their fellow Pokémon from Unova . All of Ash's Pokémon then greeted their trainer's elder sister .

" Hello everyone, nice to meet you " , said Rosa in a calm manner .

" This is my younger sister Leaf , she is a coordinator " , said Ash, pointing towards Leaf. All his pokemon except Charizard then greeted Leaf by giving their usual cries.

{ How can she think of me as cute? } , Charizard muttered in a low voice which was heard by some Pokémon who giggled.

" Hey Ash, let's battle. I wanna see how strong you are. " said Rosa.

" You're on " , Ash said with excitement.

" How does one on one sound " , asked Rosa .

" I am fine with it " , replied Ash in excitement of having a battle.

"Okay, children, you can have a battle, but remember we have a ceremony and party in the evening, so be ready on time. Especially you, Ash and Leaf, be prepared." Delia said in a strict tone.

"Okay, mom, we will, " replied Ash and Leaf at the same time.

" Ok, enjoy then I am going to look after the decorations now " , said Delia .

After Delia left, Red said, "If children you don't mind, I wanna be the referee of the battle. "

Both of them nodded and then stood on their respective sides, while Leaf made her way to the side to watch the battle.

" This would be a one-on-one match between Rosa and Ash. Both sides are allowed to use only one Pokémon, so no substitutions. When either side's Pokémon cannot continue, the battle will end. BEGIN, " said Red. To which both Rosa and Ash called out their Pokémon at the same time.

Battle Start

" Lilligant battle time," said Rosa while bringing her Pokémon out of the Poké Ball.

Lilligant gracefully stepped onto the field, her vibrant green petals swaying in the breeze.

"Bayleef, I choose you!" Ash said, while Bayleef stood before him with her snout high, showing her confidence in herself and her trainer.

Both Ash and Rosa then took out their pokedex to know more about their opponent's Pokémon.

"Lilligant, the flowering Pokémon. Grass type. The fragrance of the garland on its head has a relaxing effect, but taking care of it is very difficult.", Ash's Pokédex said.

"Bayleef, the leaf Pokémon. Grass type. The buds around its neck give off a spicy aroma that perks people up.," Rosa's PokéDex said.

" Well, we both have chosen grass types, Ash, but I am going to win this," said Rosa with a competitive smile.

" Sure, but in your dreams, I will be the one who will win this." Ash replied in his usual confident tone.

"Both Ash and Rosa had chosen grass-type Pokémon, which means neither of them has an advantage or disadvantage. However, Ash has competed in five leagues, while Rosa has only competed in one, so Ash clearly has more experience. But Rosa has observed all my battles, as well as those of my elite four and many strong trainers, so this match could go either way ", Red thought.

"We are going to take the first move, Ash. Lilligant, use Petal Dance." Rosa said to which Lilligant released some pink petals that were moving towards Bayleef.

Before the attack could reach Bayleef, Ash ordered, "Use your Razor Leaf to counter Petal Dance."

Bayleef followed Ash's orders and used her Razor Leaf, which collided with Lilligant's Petal Dance. Rosa gritted her teeth and ordered, "Smart move, Ash, but let's see if you can handle our next attack. Lilligant, use Magical Leaf."

Lilligant used a move called Magical Leaf, which was able to hit Bayleef, although it wasn't very effective since Bayleef is also a grass type. After seeing Bayleef hit, Ash shouted, "Are you alright, Bayleef?" to which she replied in her language, "Yes." Ash decided to go on the offensive now. He said, "Let's try your new move, Energy Ball, Bayleef." She obliged.

"Lilligant, use your Energy Ball to counter!" Rosa said. After listening to Rosa, Lilligant was able to counter Bayleef's Energy Ball with her own.

Both Ash and Bayleaf looked at each other and knew that it wasn't going to be an easy match, as all their attacks were being countered.

" Just give up, Ash. You can't win against me, " Rosa said with a grin on her face.

"Me give up? No way! I never give up until it's over," Ash said confidently and ordered Bayleef to use Energy Ball once again.

" Going with the same move, then we will do the same, Lilligant use your Energy Ball, " Rosa said, which Lilligant followed.

But this time, the collision of two energy balls created some smoke. Seeing this, Ash put his plan into action: "Bayleef, use Vine Whip to hold Lilligant upside down," Ash said quietly so that only Bayleef could hear.

While Rosa and Liligant waited for the smoke to clear, they saw two vines coming towards them. Before they could counter, the vines grabbed Liligant in an upside-down position—Liligant's head pointing downwards and legs towards the sky—along with it, she was facing towards Rosa so she couldn't even use her attacks.

"Bayleef, now's our chance to use solar beam on Lilligant." Ash ordered, and after charging, Bayleef used Solar Beam on Lilligant.

"Lilligant, try to break through," Rosa yelled desperately, but before she could finish, Solar Beam hit Lilligant, causing damage and throwing her a distance, which resulted in her flower getting covered in mud. Lilligant was now focusing on removing the dirt from her flower instead of the battle.

"Bayleef, use Headbutt while she is still distracted," Ash ordered, as Bayleef attacked Lilligant with her headbutt, providing more damage since Lilligant has low defense.

Lilligant was now getting angry at Bayleef for getting her flower dirty.

"Don't worry, Lilligant, I'll clean your flower, but let's focus on the battle now. Use Giga Drain and then use Seed Bomb." Rosa ordered.

Before Ash or Bayleef could react, Lilligant used Giga drain on Bayleef, after recovering some of her health following with Seed Bomb.

Both attacks were direct hits, and both Pokémon were exhausted from the attacking and dodging. Both trainers knew that the match was coming to its end, so they decided to finish it quickly before their Pokémon run out of steam.

"Lilligant, use Sleep Powder," Rosa ordered confidently.

While Lilligant used Sleep Powder, Ash told Bayleef to jump using Vine Whip and then use Body Slam. By jumping, Bayleef was saved from coming in contact with the sleep powder and was now going to use Body Slam on Lilligant.

"Lilligant, use your Magical Leaf quickly!" Rosa ordered, her voice tinged with urgency.

Both attacks collided, and there was smoke everywhere; no one could see what happened. After a few seconds, when the smoke faded away, they could see both Pokémon standing, panting heavily. Both Pokémon, looking towards each other, nodded their heads and then fell unconscious at the same time.

Battle End

"Both Pokémon are unable to continue, so this match is a draw," Red declared with a calm face, but from inside, he was happy to see his son and daughter's battle from his very own eyes. Although he had seen their battles on TV, seeing them battle in front of him made him feel proud of all his children.

Both Rosa and Ash looked in disbelief as neither of them won but shook away that thought , they quickly made their way towards their Pokemon to help and thank them for the battle .

"Bayleef, you battled incredibly; I am proud of you," Ash said while petting her head.

"Lilligant, you battled amazingly as well, now take a rest," Rosa said while returning Lilligant back to its Poké Ball and then started walking towards Ash who was still talking to Bayleef.

"Bayleef, I will make sure to give you your favorite food today," Ash said in his usual happy tone. Bayleef nodded excitedly while rubbing her head against Ash's. Suddenly, she was enveloped in a bright blue light. She began to grow bigger, and when the light subsided, Ash could see that instead of his Bayleef, there stood a bigger yet familiar Pokémon—a "Meganium."

"Bayleef, you evolved!" Ash said with excitement while hugging his newly evolved Meganium. Although Meganium was surprised by the evolution, she was still happy knowing it wouldn't reduce her trainer's love for her.

While others were surprised as well to see Bayleef evolve right after the match ended.

Ash then took out his Pokédex to know more about his newly evolved Pokémon.


Meganium

" Congratulations, Ash, on your Bayleef's evolution. I must say, you were stronger than I thought," Rosa said, sounding impressed.

" You were quite a challenge yourself, but the next time we battle, the results will not be the same, as I am going to win." , Ash said with his usual toothy grin, which could steal any girl's heart.

"Big Sis and Big brother, you both were so cool in the battle," Leaf said with her usual excited tone.

"Thank you, Leaf," Rosa and Ash replied at the same time.

" I must say, as well, it was a good battle, both of you, " , Red said while walking towards them .

While they were talking, a servant came to them. "Your majesty, Mrs. Palermo has arrived," he informed Red, bowing in front of him.

"Ok, children, let's go and greet our guests," Red said to his children, to which all three nodded and followed Red towards the hall.

When they reached there, they saw Delia and Illene with an older woman.

Red greeted her and told his children to come forward so that he could introduce them to each other.

"This is Palermo, your grandmother, i.e., your mother's mother," Red said, pointing to the old woman. The kids were shocked because they didn't even know they had a grandmother.

"This is Rosa, our eldest daughter," Red said, pointing to her.

"This is Ash, our only son and will also be the future King of Rota," Red said, pointing towards Ash, who was embarrassed as he was still not used to the fact that he is going to be King one day.

"This is our youngest daughter, Leaf." Red said, pointing to her.

" You both had such wonderful children," Palermo said to Red and Delia, then turned towards the children. "You three, come on, and give your old grandmother a hug."

The children happily hugged her and then turned to their parents, "Why are you hiding so many things from us?" All three of them yelled at them at the same time.

"Sorry, kids, but like we said before, it was all for your safety," Delia said as they calmed down a bit.

" Grandma, we all are very happy to finally meet you. As some people here are very good at keeping secrets from their own children," Ash said, while eyeing towards his parents, who saw this but behaved like they didn't know anything what he is saying.

Palermo saw this and chuckled, "Well, I'm also happy to finally meet you three, but I have a question for you three."

"What is it, grandma?" asked Ketchum's children.

"Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?" Palermo asked with a sly smile. To which three of them started choking, while Red, Delia, and Pikachu were laughing, and Illene was confused.

" Grandma " , Rosa, Ash and Leaf yelled at the same time while one can see clearly that among them, Ash was a blushing mess.

" Oh, don't worry, I got the answer," Palermo said and then turned towards Ash and asked, "So, who is this lucky girl?"

"Since I returned from Unova, my secret of being in love with Serena is getting revealed to one or another person," thought Ash.

Having no other choice, Ash explained all the incidents from meeting her in Kanto to their goodbye. Palermo felt sad for her grandson and said, "Ash, I can see in your eyes how much you love her. So don't worry. Your love for her will become the bridge that will bring you too close."

Ash hugged his grandmother again and thanked her for her kind words.

"Ash, if you have her photo, then I want to see it," Palermo said, while Rosa and Leaf were thanking their grandmother, as it was due to her that they would be able to see their future sister-in-law's photo.

"Yes, Grandma, I have her photo," Ash said, and took out an old locket that seemed to be taken care of with love.

It was a silver pendant in the shape of a heart. On the heart it was written "SereAshy".

Palermo, Rosa, Leaf, Red, Delia, and Pikachu were surprised to see the locket, and even more so to see what was written on it.

"Ashy and Sere, don't you think you two were too romantic for someone of that age?" Rosa teased, but she was happy to see that someone loves her brother so much.

"Well, what can I say?" Ash replied, blushing.

"Come on, brother, now open the locket so that we can see her picture," Leaf insisted.

Ash then opened the locket as everyone looked at the picture. It was a picture of Ash and Serena lying on the grass, with Serena kissing Ash's cheeks.

All can see how much happy both Ash and Serena are with each other.

" Wow, brother, she is so cute and beautiful, and, moreover, she gave you a kiss on the cheeks, huh?" Leaf said teasingly.

"You are right, Leaf, she is so cute and beautiful," Ash said, looking at Serena's picture. He was so lost in the picture that he didn't get that Leaf was trying to tease him.

"Seems like he got lost in her picture," Palermo said, chuckling at her grand son's antics.

"Yes, Grandma, Ash is so lost in her picture, only Arceus knows what will happen when she's in front of him," Rosa said, looking at her brother who was lovingly looking at the photo in the locket.

"Come on, Rosa and Leaf, bring your brother back to this real world," Delia said to her daughters.

Both Rosa and Leaf nodded and went to each side of Ash and yelled, "Look, brother! Serena is coming here from the door!".

Hearing Rosa and Leaf, Ash came back from his Serena world and started looking here and there in search of Serena but alas! He couldn't find her. That's when he heard his sister's laughter and got to know that they were joking.

"Why did you make a joke of this?" Ash said in an upset tone, as he had momentarily thought his wait for Serena was finally over, thanks to Rosa and Leaf.

Sensing Ash's tone, everyone realized that this had made Ash sad. So Rosa and Leaf apologized to their brother, and although it took some time, after 20 minutes, Ash was able to forgive them.

After spending an hour with his family, Ash went to train his Pokémon, the way his dad told him to.

With Ash and his pokemon

"Ok, so I had a talk with my dad last night, and he told me what I was lacking to win a league. So, first of all, we will work on new moves for everyone, which would be effective if we face a type disadvantage in battle." Ash said, and all his Pokémon gave their respective cries as if saying they were ready for it.

"Ok, so are you all ready for training?" asked Ash, to which all the Pokémon said, "Yes."

"Ok, guys, good work. I think that's enough for today; now you all can go and rest." Ash said proudly, seeing how determined his Pokémon were while training. In fact, he had to stop some of his Pokémon from overdoing it.

All Pokémon were happy as they were able to learn new moves. Although some of them were still struggling, with their trainer by their side, they could learn it very soon.

After his Pokémon left to take a rest, Ash, with Pikachu on his shoulders, decided to go back into the palace before his mom would send someone to call him.

When Ash reached inside, he could see four unknown people sitting there with his family members, talking like friends. First was a man with blonde hair, second was a woman with the same hair colour. As both of them were of his parent's age, Ash guessed them to be a couple. He then noticed the other two who also had blonde hair. One was a boy who was slightly older than the girl, and he guessed them to be the children of the couple. As he walked nearer to them, he saw that now everyone's attention was on him.

"Ash, you are on the correct time. Meet my friend Mohn Aether, his wife Lusamine Aether, and their two children, Lillie and Gladion Aether. They have come for today's party from the Alola region." Red said while gesturing towards the four unknown figures.

"And this is my son Ash," Red added.

"It's nice to meet you," Ash said in a polite manner.

"It's nice to meet you as well, Ash", Mohn replied.

While they were talking, Ash could feel someone gazing at him continuously. Staring from the corner of his eyes, Ash saw that Lillie was continuously staring at him with a slight blush on her face, which made him a bit uncomfortable. Pikachu also noticed the same and snickered at his trainer.

{ If Ash wasn't in love with Serena, I'm sure he would have a harem of Arceus knows how many girls }, Pikachu thought.

"Oh no, not another girl. I act dense so that nobody will fall in love with me, as I am already in love with Serena. But still, I don't know why the number of girls having crushes on me keeps on increasing. First, it was Misty, then Melody, Macy, May, Anabel, Dawn, Angie, and now Lillie. I am tired of it, and it would be better if I would stay away from her." Thought Ash.

"Ash, what are you thinking? We've been calling you for some time now." Delia asked with concern.

"Nothing much, Mom. I'm just tired, so I was just thinking of taking some rest. If you all don't mind, though," Ash said politely, although in his mind he was just thinking one thing: "Please let me go."

"Sure, Ash, you've been training for a long time, so take proper rest. I don't want you to get sick before the party," Delia said after understanding what was happening.

"Thanks, Mom," Ash said as he walked away, feeling a sigh of relief.

"Oh my gosh, he is so cute. I am going to ask him for a dance at the party. Since he does not have a girlfriend, he cannot refuse me." Lillie thought while blushing.

Gladion saw this and wanted to have a talk with Ash, as he knows Lillie will not listen to anything he would say. While Delia decided to talk to Ash, as she saw that Ash was sad when he walked away.

" If you all will excuse me, I forgot to tell Ash about some rituals that are to be done before the party so please excuse me I have to talk to him right now." , Delia said.

Everyone nodded, seeing this was necessary, so she walked away. Gladion, seeing this as a perfect time, went to talk to Ash.

"Can I roam around the place, Mr. Ketchum?" Gladion asked politely.

"Sure, and why don't you take Lillie with you as well?" Red said, not knowing what was going on.

"No, Mr. Ketchum, I would rather sit here," Lillie said as she decided to impress Red, Rosa, and Leaf in order to get close to Ash.

Red nodded, after which Gladion pretended to be wandering but went behind Delia to find out where Ash's room was.

Delia reached Ash's room and knocked, while Gladion followed her and hid behind a pillar.

When Ash opened the door, he saw his mother standing there, so he asked her to come in. When both of them got themselves seated on the couch in Ash's room, Gladion quickly came close to the door of Ash's room.

"Ash, I can see that you're sad. Is it something to do with the crush that Lillie has on you?" Delia asked, while Gladion was surprised that they knew about it.

Taking a deep breath, Ash answered, "Yes, Mom, you know I can never return her feelings because I already love someone else from childhood. Except for Serena, I had never seen a girl in that way. Heck, I even pretended to be dense so that nobody would fall for me, but as you can see, already eight girls, including Lillie, have a crush on me. I can't directly go and refuse them because I don't even know where Serena is."

"Ash, I know that even though you haven't seen Serena for years, you still love her. And like your grandma said, have trust in your love; if your love for her is true, she would return to you no matter what happens." Delia said while caressing her son's hair.

While listening to what Ash and Delia said, Gladion knew he couldn't talk to Ash about Lillie because he was already suffering. So he decided it was best if he tried to convince Lillie. While thinking about how to convince Lillie, Gladion made his way to the garden.

Meanwhile, after talking to her mother, Ash felt a lot better than before. Ash thanked her and Delia told him to rest for a while now, while she walked towards the hall where others were still chatting.

Time skip to one hour before the ritual and party :

Ash and all his family members, along with the Aether family except Lillie, were ready. She had decided to put extra efforts to impress Ash. All the others were sitting in the hall waiting for someone, about whom everyone except the kids knew.

"Mom - Dad for whom are we waiting now?" Ash and Leaf asked impatiently.

"Our friends from Kanto and Kalos are coming over, and we are waiting for them," Red said with a smile.

" And don't worry, Ash, you would be happy to see them as well," Delia added.

"Who might they be?" Ash thought.

When four figures entered the hall, Ash was shocked to see them, especially one person. Even that person was surprised to see Ash there.

"Gary", Ash said with shocked expressions.

"Ashy-Boy", Gary said in a shocked tone as well.

"Hey, don't call me with that name," Ash said to Gary.

"What would you do if I didn't?" Gary said with a grin on his face.

"Oh, nothing, Oak Tree," Ash said, matching Gary's grin.

"Hey, stop calling me 'Oak Tree'!" Gary yelled with annoyance.

"Ok, children, stop fighting; it's not the time for that," Professor Oak said, tired from the boys' quarreling.

Both Ash and Gary nodded and looked towards each other as if saying, "We will continue this later."

"Hey Professor, it's nice to see you again," Ash said happily.

"Ash, my boy, I'm happy to see you as well," Professor Oak replied.

"Ash, it's nice to see you again," two unknown figures said.

" It's nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Oak", Ash said politely.

"Ash, please don't call me Mr. Oak; call me Blue. Hearing that makes me feel old." Blue said.

" But you are already getting old " , Gary said in a low voice, which was heard by Ash, and he giggled.

"Gary, it's nice to see how much you have grown," Red said.

"Yes, children grow up so fast; it seems like yesterday when Gary was just a small baby in my arms," Yellow, Gary's mom, said, which made Gary slightly embarrassed.

"Gary, I think you should meet my sisters as well," Ash said.

"Wait, you have sisters?" Gary asked, sounding surprised.

"Yes," Ash said, pointing to Rosa, "This is my older sister, Rosa, and she's also a trainer." Then, pointing to Leaf, Ash said, "This is my little sister, Leaf."

Gary was momentarily lost in Leaf's beauty but quickly composed himself and greeted them. Leaf also had a slight blush on her face after seeing Gary, which was noticed by Rosa, who had a teasing smirk on her face.

"So, Ash, I see you were also invited to the crowning of the new prince," Gary said with a smug look, which soon converted into confusion as everyone but him laughed.

"Why are you all laughing? I didn't joke.", Gary asked, still being confused.

"Well, Gary, Ash is the one who is going to be crowned as the Prince of Rota," Blue said.

"WHAT", Gary yelled in shock. He couldn't believe that among all the people, Ash is the one who is going to be crowned as the prince.

Then Ash explained to Gary about all the things that Red had explained to him the previous day, except the fact that his father is the world champion and head of the international police. Gary was more shocked but was also happy for his rival turned friend.

" Hey Gary, when did your parents return?" Ash asked.

"Well, it all happened this morning," Gary said.

Flashback

In morning at Oak Laboratory

"Gramps, Why did you call me so urgently? I was busy researching some fossils in Sinnoh," Gary said while entering the lab without seeing what was happening.

"How are you, Gary?", Yellow asked.

Gary was surprised to hear the voice. When he looked in the direction of the voice, he was surprised to see his parents standing there.

"Mom Dad, when did you guys come?" Gary asked.

"Oh, we arrived yesterday at night," Blue replied.

" You know it's been years since you last came to see me " , Gary said .

"Sorry, son, we have important work," Blue answered.

" But don't worry, now we're gonna spend some time with you," Yellow said while hugging her son.

"Yes, and also, we are invited to Rota today to see the crowning of the new prince." Blue said.

"Wow, so we're going to meet royalty," Gary asked.

"Yes, son, now let's talk for a while and then we can get ready and leave in a while," Yellow said.

Flashback End

"So that's what happened," Gary said.

"Wow, my dad also returned the day before yesterday," Ash said.

While all of them were exchanging stories, Lillie came towards them. She tried to gain Ash's attention but he didn't even glance towards her. Pikachu saw how irritated his trainer was getting and decided on a plan. Pikachu suddenly jumped from Ash's shoulders and ran towards the backyard. Ash thought something was wrong and so he ran behind him. Everyone sensed that Pikachu might have sensed something and so they also ran behind him.

"Pikachu, stop! What happened? Why are you running?" Ash said while running after Pikachu.

When they reached the backyard where Ash's Pokémon were relaxing, Ash bumped into a girl. The girl was about to fall when Ash caught her waist to stop her fall, and she automatically put her hands on his shoulders. Both were lost in each other, it was like the whole world around them had faded, and only the two of them were there.

[Well, you must have guessed that the girl is none other than Serena.]

Ketchum's, Oak's, Aether's, and Yvonne's all reached there and now were looking at both of them. All of Ash's Pokémon were also looking at the two, even Pikachu had stopped running and was now looking at his trainer who was looking lost in the honey-blonde-haired girl. All of them except Lillie were looking at them with awe while she was burning with jealousy seeing an unknown girl in Ash's arms.

After they didn't move for another ten minutes, Lillie had enough, so she faked a cough to bring them back, but it was like they weren't even bothered by it. Gary and Ash's Pokémon were looking at the scene with wide eyes, as they had never seen Ash lost in a girl.

All were about to do something when in shock, Oshawatt got stumbled with Scraggy, and both of them fell down.

The sound of the fall was enough to bring them back. Ash helped the girl (Serena) stand properly. Both were now looking at each other in the eyes and said at the same time.

"Ash", Serena said in a surprised tone.

"Serena", Ash said in the same tone as Serena.

"I missed you," both again said at the same time and hugged each other, not wanting to let the other go.

[ So this is that Serena girl about whom Ash was telling me , Pikachu thought .

"So this is our future sister-in-law," Rosa and Leaf thought at the same time.

Meanwhile, Lillie was burning with jealousy even more after seeing that Ash hugged that girl named Serena.

" Why is Ash hugging her, I should be the one in her place," Lillie said with anger.

"Ash, I still can't believe that you are in front of my eyes," Serena said with tears of joy in her eyes.

"Me too, it still feels like it's nothing but a mere dream I've had millions of times," Ash said with tears of joy.

After separating from the hug, they both looked towards each other, noticing the changes that had come in the other since they had grown up.

"You know what you look beautiful in this dress", Ash complimented.

"Aww, thank you, Ash! You look handsome too!" Serena said while blushing.

Hearing Serena's compliment, it was Ash's turn to blush, which was quite an amusing scene for Ash's Pokémon.

"I would hate to interrupt your reunion, but I think we can talk inside now," Red said.

Both Ash and Serena looked towards the voice and saw the whole family, except Lillie, looking at them with teasing smirks.

" It seems I have to bear more teasings now " , Ash thought .

"Oh Arceus, now mom won't let me go without teasing," Serena thought.

Both Ash and Serena nodded and went inside with all the others, where everyone was introduced to each other and were also told about Ash being a prince (which was a shock for Serena) and that Red was the one who invited Serena's family, to which both Ash and Serena were very thankful. While the introduction session was going on, our love birds were looking at each other with the corner of their eyes, which was noticed by all except Lillie, who couldn't see Ash with another girl, so she made up an excuse and went to her room.

"Ash and Serena, we still have half an hour before the party, so if you both want, you can catch up with each other." Delia said.

Both Ash and Serena were thankful for this chance, so they nodded and left for a walk.
