32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 101 Glass Workstation

After Bennett locks Ash and Hardy in the elevator, Hardy tries to slam on the door.

Hardy: Hey, what gives?! Get back here and fight! (After several slams) Tch, the door's sealed. Figures they'd try somethin' like... Oh, stuff it. Not again-

Ash quickly covers the nose and Pikachu is hiding under Ash's hat. They know that sleepiness is happening again.

Ash: I'm sorry, Hardy. I'll come back for you, I promise.

Ash tries to climb out of the place, and for some reason, he hears the sound of a Glaceon, Ash looks up and finds a hidden passage, and once they get in, they see the Glaceon.

Ash: You're ZEL's Glaceon...

The Glaceon nods as she asks Ash to follow her, much to his confusion. After following the Pokemon, Ash realizes that he manages to get into the Glass Workstation. And when they follow the Glaceon, it uses Ice Beam to freeze the broken path, much to his surprise.

Ash: Are you trying to help us? But why?

Ash then remembers how he destroyed the Magnezone, and Zero said that Eve and Lumi aren't inside him, he thinks that maybe Eve and Lumi manage to get their own bodies back and is trying to help him? But he doesn't know until he finds out the truth himself. After climbing down the stairs, Ash also spots a healing machine and a PC, so he quickly switches his team to the best ones so that he can continue forward.

When they move forward, Ash can see the hot molten lava in a tank, and Glaceon uses Frost Breath to create a path for them to walk past, and then they hear Team Meteor yelling to capture the Glaceon. It seems to work as they manage to trap the Glaceon into a room.

Meteor: And stay in there, you damn ice rat!

Ash: Leave that Glaceon alone!

Meteor: (Notices Ash) You again! Oh no, no, no! Absolutely not! We've had enough trouble with that damn Glaceon running around all over the place- no way am I dealing with you right now! You just stay out until we've finished dealing with this vermin!

And he just walks into the door and locks it, but Ash realizes that they are in a glass station, and he uses Rock Smash to get him inside and fight the grunts. After defeating them, Glaceon also freezes them in ice so that they can't stop them. Then Glaceon decides to follow Ash.

Ash: Sure, I won't mind you following me, but where can we go?

Then Glaceon shows him the path as they get to another room, and they hear a noise.

?: Shut UP, you damn mutt. Seriously, the other one is still out there? Quite a fiesty one, to say the least.

?: Well, don't just stand there, go catch it! This might be our chance!

Ash realizes that there is another Eeveelution that belonged to Eve or Lumi that is on the run, and a grunt comes outside and notices him.

Meteor: Oh. It's you? Has anyone ever told you that you're not a Glaceon?

Ash: I don't think so?

Meteor: Well, guess what.

Then Ash has to defeat the grunt in order to access the room, but after defeating the grunt, he just locks the door before Ash can break-in. Fortunately, they manage to hear a voice of an Espeon, and the boxes that blocked the room are moved so Ash can use Rock Smash on it. After defeating the grunt, they find the Espeon in the cage. The meteor grunt says that the key is in another room, so Ash and Glaceon have to find the key. Fortunately, the key is actually in the room which is close to the room they're in, only Glaceon can't walk back up to the second floor to help him. After defeating the grunt, they manage to get the key and saved the Espeon.
