32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 141 Radomus Return

Now they are back at the Night Club, with Ash, Serena, and Lillie together this time. Seacrest is the one standing in front of the counter and he has something for the Champion.

Seacrest: Greetings, Champion! The others are out monitoring for more Anomaly reports, but we've got one thing on the docket as is. According to a recent report, Vanhanen Castle might be haunted! Weren't you only just deployed there?

Ash: That's my Father's Castle! What do you mean it's haunted? We just got there and nothing bad happened.

Seacrest: And yet we've gotten an anonymous tip that some kind of Anomaly or legendary has sprung up residence within its halls again. A pale, ghostly shape billows through its halls, all but vanishing once seen. Near the arena, they said. Will you investigate?

Ash: I'm definitely going to investigate.

Seacrest: No better fellow for it! Godspeed you, champion. To the Vanhanen Arena!

After leaving the Night Club, the two girls are concerned for Ash.

Lillie: Do you think your father is back?

Serena: If that's the case, it will be good news, right?

Ash: We don't know, but we have to check it out as soon as possible.

After calling his mother, the four of them head to the Vanhanen Castle's Arena, and in the middle of the Arena, Gardevoir is standing there.

Delia: Gardevoir?

Gardevoir: lIGHTS! cAMERA! dRAMA!

Just then, the green portal appears again and Ash knows that it is Lin.

Lin: You really have to learn to stop taking anonymous tips. It's me every time. Just like everything else~ Me, me, me, me~ Just kidding~ But speaking of me, you got my gift before, right? Did you liiiiiiiiike it?

Ash: If you're talking about Samson, then I'm not...

Lin: I was really hoping you'd like it. I just thought- I was thinking- maybe you have the wrong idea of me. I mean, you might think I'm the villain here- and I GUESS that's true. But only because I wrote the story that way! I mean, c'mon, aren't villain characters always more fun? At least when they're not all "Power is all that matters. Fall before me!" You gotta understand, talking in that body was kinda hard; I had to keep it short and sweet! Well, by 'sweet' I mean 'intimidating' but you seem like enough of a battered wife to confuse the two. Anyway, nonono, you don't get it- because if anyone's to blame, you know who it is, right? The person who caused all of this... everything from the moment you arrived in this region...IT WAS ANNA!

Delia: You're lying! My daughter would never do this!

Lin: I just wanted to have fun! Well, you think about it. For a while. In the meantime, I brought you another present. And today's present- is buy one get one free!

Much to their surprise, they see Radomus appearing in front of them, but only he is glowing dark just like Samson.

Lin: You might just have to dust it off a bit first. My room is packed with this weird cosmic energy, and it seems to have an effect on people. It's, uhhhhhh... well, you'll see. But see, I even saved her daddy. Anna didn't do that, did she? I'll stop talking to myself now, but put on a good show for us! After all, we're always watching~

Then the portal leaves, and Ash and the others are taking deep breaths as they see the action between Gardevoir and Radomus.

Gardevoir: mASTER, iT'S sO gOOD tO sEE yOU aT lAST!
