12. The Sevestar Prince Darker Version

Chapter 20

The next day in Oceablue City, Ash and Alice meet up with Reisa as they are practicing their songs. They decide to sing a song related to everyone who thinks that Ash is guilty of killing his mother, with Alice and some of their Pokemon accompanying.

"There's a face that we wear

In the cold light of day -

It's society's mask,

It's society's way,

And the truth is

That it's all a facade!" Ash changes his outfit into the one like a detective using his powers of illusion, while Alice wears the common clothes from the 18th century.

"There's a face that we hide

Till the nighttime appears,

And what's hiding inside,

Behind all of our fears,

Is our true self,

Locked inside the facade!"

Alice decides to join in as the masked figures start to walk past them.

(Duet) "Every day

People, in their own sweet way,

Like to add a coat of paint,

And be what they ain't!" (Ash) "That's how our little -"

(Duet) "Game is played,

Livin' like a masquerade

Actin' a bizarre charade -

While playing the saint!"

Then the shadow figures are gone as Ash keeps singing. "But there's one thing I know,

And I know it for sure:

This disease that we've got

Has got no ready cure!

And I'm certain

Life is terribly hard -

When your life's a facade!"

Then the scene changes into a shadowy town with shadowy figures in masks doing daily jobs like washing clothes, bargaining, and even working.

Alice sings, "Look around you!

I have found

You cannot tell, by lookin' at the surface,

What is lurkin' there beneath it!"

Alice points at one person and says, "See that face!

Now, I'm prepared to bet you,

What you see's not what you get -

'Cause man's a master of deceit !"

Ash and Alice run around the town and sing, "So, what is the sinister secret?

The lie he will tell you is true? -"

Ash opens the door from the inside building with Pikachu sitting on his hair and sings, "It's that each man you meet

In the street

Isn't one man but two!"

The town disappears and then it changes into the castle with a lot of shadowy people walking wearing fancy clothes and jewels.
"Nearly everyone you see -
Like him an' her,
An' you, an' me -
Pretends to be
A pillar of society -
A model for propriety -
Sobriety
An' piety -
Who shudders at the thought
Of notoriety!"
