This book is part of a series. If you have not read the first book, then you won't understand what's going on here at ALL. Please go read 'Not Everyone is a Steal-Type' before continuing. It can be found on this account. (There's also a reading list dedicated to this series.) __________ They failed... Ash failed. Ash and Goh were unable to summon Zacian and Zamazenta, which resulted in his research partner getting eaten. Goh no longer exists. He never existed, apparently. Time went backwards, making it so Ash just entered Alola. That's a long time to go back! That means Riolu has yet to hatch, the Alola League has yet to happen, and Ash hasn't even obtained his Alolan Pokemon... meaning Dragonite, Gengar, and Galarian Farfetch'd are not his. Also, only a select few of Ash's friends ended up remembering the events, two of them being his Alolan Parents and all their Pokémon. Now in such a position, Ash feels lost... as if he cannot do anything. Despite all this, a new face comes into his life. A being who happens to be more powerful then Arceus, yet didn't even know it until recently. Ash learns the truth behind his world and the events that were meant to be.

This is the first book in an ongoing series of mine. You can continue reading the series either by checking out my page or the Reading List dedicated to this series. __________ As Goh was trying to catch a Pokémon in the water (after Ash tied with Bea), Ash got an announcement that The World Coronation Series will be put on hold until further notice. This caused the two to be at the lab a little more often then normal. Goh notices Professor Cerise is acting a little secretive, and decided to investigate without Ash knowing. What he finds out will turn his life upside down... and it's up to Ash and many of his old companions to stop whatever Goh learned! The series continues in 'Take an Extra Step, GOH the Extra Mile (The Prologue)' - https://www.wattpad.com/story/243816798-take-an-extra-step-goh-the-extra-mile ___ This story begins right at the end of the episode "Satoshi VS Saito! Overcome Octopus Hold!" (English Name: Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!) - Otherwise known as Episode 39. This was also written AND FINISHED before the Darkest Day Arc aired IN JAPAN. (Finished before Riolu and Raboot evolved.) ___ Book Cover Updated: 3/4/2023 (Mostly to reflect that it's no longer a betrayal series)

15 innocent Pokemon are transferred into a mysterious and abandoned mansion where they discover that no matter what they do, they cannot escape. An unknown Braixen introduces them to the unfamiliar location, and soon enough, they find out there is indeed a way to escape...under one condition: murder. One would have to commit murder and get away with it. Along with trials, drama, romance, and desperate situations, how will any of them find a way to escape?
