Pokémon Ash Betrayal [Complete]

Chapter 2

3 Years Later-

In an open area of the Aether Paradise stood a 20–year–old boy with black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a blue sweatshirt, along with dark blue jeans and black finger–less gloves. He also had a red hat with a white rounded Poké Ball design. On his shoulder was sitting one of his strongest Pokémon, Pikachu. This boy was none other than Ash Ketchum, the current Alola Region Champion. He was leaning against a tree at the Conservation Area, watching all of his Pokémon training, playing, or in Snorlax's case – sleeping. He still couldn't believe how much his life had changed ever since the betrayal.

Firstly, and most important thing was that he had found his true love. Two days after arriving in Alola, Ash met his now–girlfriend, Lillie. The moment he saw her, he believed in 'love at first sight'. Ash and Lillie, along with Bonnie and Lyla, have travelled through Alola for a couple of weeks before Ash and Lillie officially became a couple.

Speaking of Lillie, she changed a lot since meeting with Ash. At first, she was shy and scared of touching Pokémon, but only after a few weeks with Ash, she got over her fear and even had her own set of Legendary Pokémon, being Manaphy, Mesprit, Keldeo and Lugia. But her very first Pokémon was an Alolan–Vulpix, which was now an Alolan–Ninetales.

Second, was the new Pokémon he caught in Alola, which were a female Primarina, which Lillie nicknamed 'Mermaid'. He had also caught a Dusk–form Lycanroc, a Zoroark, a Drampa, a Salazzle, a Pallosand and the Ultra Beast, Naganadel. He had some trouble with Lycanroc's behavior for a while after evolving, but during one of his trials, he figured out that Lycanroc was going on a rampage was to boost his power, thus making Lycanroc on of his Alola powerhouses, the other one being Naganadel. Ash also had his team of Legendary Pokémon, with the smaller ones like Meloetta, Douse–Genesect and Latias staying at the Aether Paradise, while the big ones, like Rayquaza, Zekrom and Ho–Oh, along with Lillie's Lugia roamed around the region to assist the Island Guardians in case of an emergency. Ash even put the Eon Duo, Latias and Latios to guard the Paradise in case of intruders. Speaking of his Pokémon, most of them were now fully evolved, like Crawdawnt, Floatzel, Garchomp, Emboar and Scrafty, while others refused to evolve, like Bulbasaur, Bayleef, Quilava, Totodile, who was now a Croconaw, Snivy, Palpitoad, Boldore, and Oshawott, who was now a Dewott.

About a month after becoming the Champion, Ash reunited with two of his old Pokémon, Pidgeot and Lapras, along with two Pokémon he befriended, Larvitar, which was now a Tyranitar, and Haunter, who had become a Gengar. But, that was not all as he had also found Mega–Stones for Charizard, Pidgeot, Gengar, Mewtwo, Heracross, Tyranitar, Sceptile, Glalie, Latias, Garchomp and Lucario.

Third was the fact that he was the Alola champion. As a champion, he had to think of members, which to be part of the Elite Four, and that was pretty easy as during his journey in Alola, Ash met up with some of his old rivals, like Paul, Trip and Alain, so they were part of the Elite Four, but he still needed one more person. Everyone thought that he would choose Gladion, but instead he made the most unpredictable thing by choosing Bonnie. A lot of people were confused, but were proven wrong when Bonnie defeated Trip, Paul and even Alain with her strongest team, consisting of Dedenne, Chesnaught, Squishy, Tyrantrum, Volcarona and Mega–Altaria. Because of those victories, she was not only the strongest Elite Four member in Alola, but also the youngest Elite Four member in the world.

And finally was his new home, the Aether Paradise. After becoming the Champion, Ash, along with his sister, the Elite Four and all of their Pokémon were allowed by Lusamine, Lillie's mother and the President of the Aether Paradise, to live with them. But they weren't the only ones living there. Lillie's brother, Gladion also lived there. At first, he felt a little uneasy with Ash and Lillie being a couple, but after a while, he started to accept Ash as his future brother–in–law. And because of the majority of the Pokémon, the Conservation Area was extended. Now, there was a deserted area for the ground and rock–types with Torterra acting as a peacekeeper, the roof was now higher so the flying–types, especially for the bigger ones like Charizard and Noivern. There was even a cave for the Pokémon that prefer dark places, an area with molten rocks for the fire–types and a small tundra for the ice–types, namely Glalie, Alolan–Sandslash and Lillie's Alolan–Ninetales. The main area was inhabited mainly by the grass and water–types with Goodra acting as a peacekeeper. Currently none of Gladion's Pokémon were there as he was travelling in Kanto challenging the Battle Frontier.

In short, Ash's life couldn't get better.

"Hey, Ash," said a voice. Ash turned to his right and saw a girl with blonde hair and green eyes, wearing a white dress, walking towards him. It was his girlfriend, Lillie.

"What's up, Lillie," asked Ash as he stood up and kissed her on the lips.

"You have a visitor," said Lillie as she gestured behind her to an elderly man with a blue hat, red T–Shirt and green pants.

"Mr. Goodshow," asked Ash, surprised.

"Ash, I told you to call me Charles," said Mr. Goodshow.

"Right, sorry. So what are you doing here," asked Ash.

"I came to talk to about an incoming tournament," said Mr. Goodshow.

"A tournament," asked Ash.

"That's right. It's the Champions' Tournament with hundreds of trainers competing for the title of 'Pokémon Master', and since almost nobody has heard of the Alola Region, I thought I would be a good idea for the tournament to be held here," explained Mr. Goodshow.

"I see," said Ash.

"Do you know a place where the tournament could be held," asked Mr. Goodshow.

"I have no idea," said Ash.

"How about Mount Lanakila," suggested Lillie, and Ash and Mr. Goodshow looked at her. "It's the Champions' Tournament and Mt. Lanakila is the highest peak in Alola."

"You know, that sounds like a pretty good idea. I like it," said Ash.

"Excellent," exclaimed Mr. Goodshow happily. "And I also have the feeling that they will be participating in the tournament."

"Really," asked Ash, knowing fully well who they were, earning a nod from Goodshow. "Well, then I guess the time has come."

"Are you sure they are gonna be there," asked Lillie.

"They will if you want them to be as tomorrow, I'll start sending the letters I have written for the hundreds of chosen trainers," said Mr. Goodshow.

"Yeah, I want them to be there," answered Ash. "When will the tournament start?"

"It depends on when the arena will be ready," said Mr. Goodshow.

"We could use the arena where the Alola League is held," suggested Leaf.

"Sounds good to me," said Ash. "That way we won't have to build another arena,"

"I like that idea, too," said Mr. Goodshow. "In that case, how about for the tournament to be held in 2 weeks? That way everyone will have time to prepare."

"Sounds good to me," said Ash and turned to Lillie. "Lillie, go and tell Trip, Paul, Alain and Bonnie to meet me at the meeting room. I have the feeling they'll want to participate as well, and see if you can contact Gladion."

You got it, honey," said Lillie as she kissed Ash on the cheek and left to find the Elite Four.

"Well, I better be off then. Sending hundreds of letters is gonna take a while," said Mr. Goodshow.

"Okay, it was good seeing you again, Mr. Goodshow," said Ash as he waved goodbye.

"Call me Charles," yelled Mr. Goodshow as he exited the Conservation Area.

Ash watched as Charles stepped on the elevator and when it down, he took a deep breath and exhaled. He turned around and saw all of his Pokémon looking at him curiously.

"Guys, let's show those traitors just how strong we are," said Ash with a smirk and the Pokémon roared in their respective cries.
