32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 126 Elite Four: Heather

Delia is now back Kanto, it has been almost a year since she goes back, but just as she is about to step into the doorway, they are surprised to see the former travel companions and Professor Oak waiting for them.

Delia: What is the meaning of this?

Professor Oak: Delia, you're finally back. Where have you been this whole time?

Delia: I have been the League Manager of the Reborn League since the last one died.

Misty: Does that mean Ash is in the Reborn Region?

Delia: (Glares) And why do you care about this? You all try to force him to give up his dream.

The former traitors are sad as they know what she implies, and they are actually feeling guilty.

Professor Oak: Delia, the truth is, we have been sorry for what we were thinking, we're here just because we wanted to see if Ash would return to his own house so we could apologize.

Delia: Ash is not returning to Kanto, because he has the Reborn League Challenge to go. From what I've heard, he is challenging the Elite Four.

Max: You mean Ash has won all those hard Gyms in the Reborn Region? He get all 18 badges?

Delia: Too bad you weren't able to see what's going on. Besides, Ash is not the same Ash you knew. Ever since what happened when he stayed there, he has completely changed a person. If that's what you want to know, then please excuse me since I'm not here for a long stay. I have to go back to Reborn so that I can do the documents with Ash's Elite Four battle.

Then Delia walks into the house without seeing them, and the others can only frown as they can't believe what happened to Ash, but they aren't going to give up just yet, and they decide to call the other League Champions and Professors to tell them about the news.

Fortunately, they get to the conference hall so that they can see Ash's battle against the Elite Four of Reborn, since the League Challenges are usually broadcast wide to the whole world.

Lance: So Ash is now challenging the Reborn League.

Cynthia: I heard that the Champion has changed because the last one was dead. Though I wonder if Ash can beat this league as well.

Goodshow: He can do it, this child is special, and he has to do it since he is one of the people who stopped Team Meteor according to the League there.

The others can only watch as they hope Ash can win the whole League.

When Ash, Serena, and Lillie enter the League Building

Lillie: (Notices Ash's concern) Feeling nervous?

Ash: Yeah...I have to win this, not just for everyone, but for myself as well. I have to defeat Lin so she won't be terrorizing the others.

Serena: If anyone has a chance to beat her, it should be you. We're going to cheer you on.

After walking through the gates that are like the Badge Inspection gates, the three of them walk towards the first room, which is filled with cliffs and rocks, and from above, Heather flies down with her Salamence.

Heather: HEY! I was wondering when you were gonna show up already. Geez! You have any idea how long I've been waiting up here? I'll give you a hint- it's almost forever. Anna said I had to be here for something "soon" but then it still took so long!
