32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 127 Elite Four: Laura and Bennett

Back at the other Leagues, the Champions, Professors, and Ash's Travel Companions are watching the battle.

May: That girl is really strong...even though she is so young.

Lance: That girl is Heather Molinar, the Elite Four was given to her by her deceased mother. That's what I've heard. She recently became an orphan because her father committed suicide. And according to my cousin, Ash was actually there to witness the whole thing, and that's why he and his mother promised to adopt her to the family.

Kiawe: To think Ash would witness something like that. No wonder he changed a lot...

Dawn: But isn't Lillie and Serena beside Ash? What are they doing there?

Professor Oak: It is obvious that they are there to cheer on Ash. I guess they have been with Ash ever since the Grandview Station reopened?

Kukui: From what I've heard, they have been helping rebuild the Reborn City ever since it is destroyed by Team Meteor.

Max: So what's the deal with this Team Meteor? Why are they trying to destroy the Reborn Region.

Cynthia: Let's say their goals are Team Flare and Team Galactic combined. They want to use Arceus' Powers to recreate the new world. They won't hesitate to kill as well, I heard that the former Champion was killed by them.

Rowan: (Nods) To achieve their goals, they want the four keys that are scattered, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Amethyst. Delia told me that her family once held the Amethyst, and that's why she and Ash has to flee to Kanto while leaving her husband and the rest of the children there.

Cilan: That sounds really sad...

Kukui: Delia has sent me the documents about the four items. Heather has the Ruby Ring, it was actually an item that was given to Heather's mother as the wedding gift, and because of this gift, Heather lost her mother and her father was forced to work with Team Meteor until Ash exposed him and the whole suicide thing. Team Meteor once had the item, but it was taken and was in Ash's hands for the time being. It was until they get to Ametrine City that he returns to Heather.

Mallow: That really sounds dangerous...(Notices the screen) Ash is going to the next Elite Four now...

Then they decide to stop discussing and watch how Ash walks towards the next Elite Four chamber.

While continuing walking, they find that the weather is rainy, and they seem to be moving upward.

Serena: Are we even inside of a building? I mean, we were just at a cliffside...

Ash: I know this place is weird, but we still have to move forward.

Then after walking for a while, they stop in front of a small house, with Laura standing in front of them.

Laura: Welcome, Ash, to my garden. I believe this encounter has been a long time coming.

Ash: I see you got your Elite Four status back, Laura. Good for you.

Laura: I've heard much about your exploits. And I understand that you were a driving force behind waking me up when I was under Hypno's spell. For this and everything else that you've done for my sisters, you have my eternal gratitude. However, I'm afraid there is one complication, as you may be aware...

At the moment, Bennett also arrives and greets them, Ash is surprised to see his cousin here as well.

Bennett: Well met, Ash.
