Ash's Story (Part 4: Kanto and Unova)

Chapter 3

When we are on our way to the Battle Frontier, Misty joins us for a while as we are heading to Cerulean City. We decide to stop by at our Rock Manor, and while staying there, Max is eager to see a Cleffa.

But much to our dismay, Team Rocket comes again with their robot and they try to take our Pokemon, but after the robot breaks, it causes Emerald, Misty, Max, and Pikachu to get separated from us. When we find them again, we see them trying to fight Team Rocket and Cleffa, Clefable, and Clefairy all gather to use Metronome to send them flying. Then we decided to watch the moon dance from the Fairy Type Pokemon before heading back to our Rock Manor.

After bidding farewell to Misty, we are now at the borderline of the Rota Kingdom. "Welcome to the Kingdom of Rota." I say.

"Look at all the people around here..." May says. "They are all wearing old-fashioned clothes. I wonder if we can have any..."

"Don't worry, once we arrive at our Fighting Manor, you'll be able to dress up in the old-fashioned costume." I say.

"Where is the Fighting Manor?" When Max asks, Reisa says, "It is closer than you think. Look!"

As we see the Cameron Palace, May asks, "You're kidding... You mean that castle is your Fighting Manor?"

Emerald says, "Interesting, isn't it?"

When we enter the palace, instead of meeting my aunt Ilene, we ask the maids and butlers to take us to the costume room. May asks, "We can pick from any of these?"

"Of course." I say. Then Pikachu, Meowsie, and Absol seem to notice something as I come with the costume of my ancestor Sir Aaron. Then we also decide to dress up the three Pokemon.

"They all look good on you three!" Serena says.

Reisa says, "It seems that the tournament is about to start soon, let's go."

Then we all rush to the battlefield, and Aunt Ilene, the ruler of the palace along with her maid Jenny and her Pokémon Mime Jr., steps out to the royal box seat to officially begin the tournament.

"The Queen looks so pretty..." May says.

"If you don't know, she's Ash's aunt and the youngest sister of Ash's Dad, Adam Ketchum." Serena says.

"So that means she's an Arceus as well?" Max asks.

"Nope. Only Mr. Ketchum is an Arceus." Reisa says.

The matches are quite easy for me, and I eventually win the whole tournament without having to worry about everything. My final opponent has a Weavile, and the person is wearing a knight costume that is covered by a helmet.

"We did it!" I cheer with my Pikachu, who wins the match for me, but I am surprised to find my Mew also there, disguising herself as an Aipom to congratulate Pikachu. The person takes off the helmet and says, "You and Pikachu are the best partners, aren't you?"

"Wait, you're a girl?" I gasp. "My name is Kidd. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Ash." I say. Then after she leaves, I grab the Mew in his Aipom form and ask, "What are you doing here, Mew?"

"I've come here to play, of course." Mew replies to me.

Then we get to the ball and I finally get to meet Aunt Ilene. She says, "Well, as expected from you to win the match, Ash. It sure has been a while since we last met."

"It sure is, Aunt Ilene." I say, then she takes out the scepter and says, "This is the Hero's scepter that belonged to our ancestor Aaron. Now it is your turn to hold this scepter."

I nod as I take the staff, but just when I touch it, I can hear a voice, "Why?"

"Did you say something?" I ask my maid Jenny, who shakes her head.
