Ash Betrayed (Part - 18)

On the top of the Sacred Mt Silver, stood a 5’7 Man of age 20. On his shoulder stood his partner, his first Pokémons Pikachu. Beside the man stood two of his most powerful Pokémons, Lucario and Greninja

Me: - So to avoid possible confusion which will come in the future, a Pokémon’s name will be preceded by their trainer’s name first or first two letters. For Example, Ash’s Lucario will be addressed as (A) Lucario and Alain’s Lucario will be addressed as (Al) Lucario.

While the four of them stood at the Summit of the Sacred Mountain, keeping a watch on what seem to be the entirety of the Kantonian Plains, Lucario suddenly feels the entry of a foreign Aura………………. An Innocent Aura.

“//A Pidgey is entering our territory, it seems harmless//” (A) Lucario said.

“Let it come, I think I know who is it from!” Ash said with a smile as the Pidgey flew closer and landed on Ash’s hands. The little bird Pokémon had a letter tied to his leg. After getting freed from the Letter, the Pidgey bid farewell to the four of them.

“Let’s read the Letter!” Ash said with a smile as he unfolded the letter and read its contents.

‘Honourable Champion of Kanto!

I, President of League Competition Committee, Charles Goodshow, am honoured to invite to take part in the Semicentennial Grand International Pokémon Tournament Event!

The Event, apart from the Grand Tournament itself, will also host multiple Seminars, Workshops, Coordinators’ Contests, Performers’ Showcases, etc.

The Guestlist consist of the Various Regions Heads of States, Heads of Govt, Champions, Gym Leaders, Elite Fours, Trial Captains, Kahunas High Profile Professors, Performers and Coordinators, and, of courses, over a 1000 distinguished Trainers.

We will await your arrival in the Exhibition in the City of Rota

Charles Goodshow

PS: - Aura Captain, Prince Ash Piece of $h|t Ketchum of Rota! Do you know how much money I spend on finding you location?! You better show up! Also you have two bloody meetings to attend to, one with the other Champions and another with the Kantonian Gym Leaders you dip$h|t! You cannot just win become the Champion and then ghost!’

“Well someone is grumpy,” Ash said reading the letter.

“//Tell me about that//” (A) Greninja said, looking at the letter.

“//Regardless, this can be a good opportunity to get some revenge!!//” (A) Pikachu said.

“You think those bastards will be there?” Ash asked the yellow furball addicted to ketchup.

“//Well, despite the fact that they are terrible, those traitors are have made big names for themselves. I am sure they are invited!//” (A) Pikachu said.

“You are right,” Ash said nodded before looking at the clock.

“Lucario, inform everyone that we are leaving for Indigo Plateau!” Ash sighing, knowing what is to come.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ash stood Infront of the Indigo League Building, the meeting place of Kantonian Gym Leaders with their Elite Four and Champion. He wore his traditional Aura clothes and a Hood which kept his face hidden. Dressed exactly like the day when he defeated Lance and his Elite Four in a Private Match, which made him the Champion of Kanto. This was the first time since that day that he was returning to the building.

“//Today at 4 PM the Isolation Period will end you know, it is 3:30, after the meeting, you could revealing yourself to Misty and Brock//” (A) Pikachu said.

“I know that…………………… It is just…………………… 5 years………………… It has been 5 years since I last saw them, I don’t know how will they react,” Ash said.

“//Come Ash! You know they will be extremely happy! Now stop being a self-pitying idiot like other Ash Betrayal fanfic Ash(s) and get inside!//” Pikachu said before jumping inside’s Ash bag. He had to hide to avoid suspicion.

Ash just sighed and the entered the building, trying not to think what is about to unfold.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Entering the Meeting Room, Ash saw the Gym leaders and Elite Four talking amongst themselves. He cleared his throat, bring all the attention in the room to him.

“Honourable Gym Leaders and Elite Four, kindly take our seats, we will beginning in 5 Minutes!” Ash said as everyone took their positions. They sat at a 13-Seater Big Conference Table. The Sitting order (clock wise) was: -

Ash; Lorelei; Agatha; Brock (Representing Forrest); Misty; Lt Surge; Erika; Janine; Sabrina; Blaine; Vacant (Handled by Lorelei); Koga; Bruno

“Ok,” Ash said as he looked at the Kanto Indigo League Committee.

Me: - Ok So for those who are wondering where the hell is Karen and Will. Here is how the league system works. 1st, one person can be the champion of two Region, but if there is an international aggression between the two regions, he has to give up one of them. 2nd Elite Four members don’t have the same luxury as the Champion. A region’s elite four member can’t be the an Elite four member or Gym Leader in another Region. But! And it is a big But! Kanto and Johto have a unique relationship and if they share a Champion, then one man can serve as an Elite Four Member in both the Kantonian and Johtonian Elite Four, but if the two regions ceased to have a common Champion, the Common Elite Four has to resign from one of the Elite Fours. In Simple Words, before Ash Defeated Lance; Karen, Bruno and Agatha were the common Elite Four. Lorelei was solely for Kanto and Will solely for Johto. But After Lance lost, Karen resigned from the Kantonian Elite Four and Bruno and Agatha resigned from the Johtonian Elite Four. To Fill the Gap of Karen, Koga was promoted by Charles Goodshow. Also, A Gym Leader can’t be an Elite Four at the same type……………………. Larry is an exception because Geeta.

“So, as we all, I hope, know by now that the Semicentennial Grand International Pokémon Tournament Event will take place in 3 months. The Exhibition Match will be held in Rota and no one can predict in what way Mr Goodshow will decide the locations of the next matches. That is why we need to be at our toes! I want to give the responsibility to organized the event to…………………………………… Miss Sabrina!” Ash said as all Members did in a Parliamentary Claps, saying ‘Hear, Hear.’

“I am grateful,” Sabrina said in a cold attitude.

“I was calling out name not just to give you the responsibility, but also to ask you to stop trying to read my mind,” Ash said with a sigh as Sabrina facial expression changed slightly.

“And I am surprise by the fact that you are able ward off by Psychic abilities,” Sabrina said in a calm and collected tone.

Me: - So Psychics are a unique species in this world and have their own secret organization like the Aura Users. Psychics and Aura Users are mostly peaceful with each other but Psychics dislike Aura Users’ connection with Arceus and Aura Users hate Psychics obsession with science. Basically, Faith Vs Science.

“Regardless, Miss, Sabrina, you will be aided by Miss Erika in the organizing of the Event, Do I make myself clear?” Ash asked.

“Yes Sir!” Erika said as Sabrina nodded.

“Very well, also, I have come to conclusion that some changes in membership have to be made!” Ash said as he pulled out a remote and turned on the smart board, which had all the member (Except the champion’s) names along with a score.

“This is a score table, scoring all of your performances. The score is based on decade’s worth of data,” Ash said as everyone looked at the table, in which Bruno was at the bottom and Sabrina at the top.

“According to these, I have come to some conclusions. Number 1! Miss Agatha, I have to ask you to retire from the League,” Ash said as his hooded face looked at Agatha.

“Fair enough,” Agatha said as she got up.

“What! Come on she have being doing Good!” Misty stood up, voicing her Opposition.

“I have to agree with Misty, Miss Agatha scores are fine if you ask me!” Brock added.

“Yeah but that is her total score, if you look at year-wise, you see a gradual degradation,” Ash countered.

“But-!” Misty tried to oppose but Agatha stopped her.

“Don’t worry Child, I want this, do you think if I had opposed this retirement, this boy would have been able to make me?” Agatha said with a grin as Misty gave a sad laugh.

“See all of you at the Exhibition Match! If any of you want to meet me before then, I will probably be in Pallet annoying Samual,” Agatha said as she left.

“Number 2, Lorelei, your performance has been degrading since you have taken over the Viridian Gym, I apologize but I have to ask you to choose one, membership of our Elite Four or Viridian Gym,” Ash said as some members, lead by Misty and Erika voiced their opposition.

“You have put me in a situation which on surface seem hard but in actuality, it is not that hard for me,” Lorelei said as she got up and sat on the vacant seat.

“Are you sure about this,” Ash asked, a little shocked by her decision.

“Dad from Seafoam Islands, Mom from Viridian, I will pick these two places above everything,” Lorelei said as Ash used Aura Vision on her, only to see an Orange Aura, which symbolized Self-confidence.

“Very Well, third thing is-” Before Ash could complete his statement, Bruno interrupted him.

“Just tell me whether I am demoted to a gym Leader or removed completely,” Bruno said in a calm tone.

“From now on you will handle the Saffron Gym,” Ash said as the Committee erupted. Handing the Saffron Gym to Bruno would mean Sabrina is removed from the position.

“Is this a joke! Sabrina is at the top of the board!!!!” Erika said in a tone which was not expected from a soft-spoken maiden.

“Yeah! On what basis you are doing this!!!!” Lorelei too questioned the decision.

“This is Taurus Shit!!!!” Misty cursed.

After 10 minutes of the Female Members shouting at Ash, Janine shouted.

“What is your Taurus shit reasoning!!!” Janine said only to be glared at by her father.

“But Da-” Before Janine could say anything, Koga interrupted.

“No cursing adults,” Koga said in cold tone. His cold tone was enough to make everyone quiet.

“Sorry,” Janine said.

“Everyone done cursing?” Lt Surge asked.

“Why are you fine with this!” Misty questioned.

“And Sabrina, why are you not saying anything!” Erika asked as Sabrina took a sip from her tea cup.

“Please continue what you were saying,” Koga said as looked at the Hooded Figure.

“So I was saying, Bruno will handle the Saffron Gym and Sabrina will join the Elite Four,” Ash said sweat drop. Hearing the Hooded figure’s words, all the girls became embarrassed.

“Wait so you knew he was going to make you Elite Four?” Misty asked looking at Sabrina.

“I am at the top of the score board, it will be a stupid and so clearly self-harming move to remove me,” Sabrina said.

“Regardless! I am so happy for you!” Erika said as she held Sabrina’s hands, making the latter Blush.

“U-U-U—U-Um! Thank You!” Sabrina said as Erika let go of her. Immediately afterward Sabrina exchanged places with Bruno.

“Ok another thing is *Looks at the board and see Misty on the second position* Misty I would like to invite you into Elite Four! Choose a Successor for the Cerulean City!” Ash said in a somewhat excited voice.

“Excuse me what?” Misty said, unable to believe her ears.

“I asked you to join the elite four,” Ash said.

“……………………………………………………………………………… WHAT!!!!!!!” Misty shouted as everyone did a Parliamentary Clap saying ‘Hear, Hear.’

“I-I-I-I-I am not sure whether I am qualified-” Before Misty completed her statement, Brock interrupted.

“Come on Misty! You are on the second Position! Of Course you are Qualified!” Brock said with a smile. Following him, Erika, Lt Surge, Lorelei, Janine and even Sabrina encouraged Misty to take the position.

“Ok!” Misty said, sitting on Lorelei’s previous sit.

“And finally! *Looks at the board again* Lt Surge! Kindly fill the Lady Agatha’s position,” Ash said followed by a Parliamentary clap and everyone saying ‘Hear, Hear.’

“I am grateful!” Lt said as he took his new position.

“Lady Misty and Lt Surge, kindly choose your successors!” Ash said.

“My Sisters, the Sensational Sisters,” Misty said with a sigh.

“I hope they get time from the busy schedule to manage Gym Stuff,” Ash said with a sigh as he looked at Surge.

“Visquez,” Lt Surge said without delay.

“Ok *Looks at the clock, it was 3:55* Well, I think we can end things here and I will meet you all in Ro-” Before Ash could complete his sentence, Blaine interrupted.

“I refuse to go to Rota,” Blaine said coldly.

“Excuse me?” Ash said.

“I refuse to go to the bloody Rotan State,” Blaine said.

“I don’t remember giving you options sir,” Ash said calmly.

“Listen! I went there, I have bow to that bloody queen of theirs and I would rather die than bow to a Monarch!” Blaine said as Ash’s body shook with anger. Suppressing the desire to choke Blaine for talking inappropriately about Ilene.

“Mr Blaine, I respect your Ideology and I will assure you don’t have to meet Queen Ilene in public, but not going to Rota is ridiculous, please understand,” Ash said calmly.

“Very well, but you better remember your words Champion, you don’t want to what will happen when you deceive a Republican Unionist.

“Anyways, everyone except Brock and Misty are dismissed, see you all in Rota,” Ash said as everyone except Misty and Brock left.

“What is it you want to talk about?” Misty asked as Brock nodded.

“Before I talk to you I want to show you something,” Ash said as he looks at the clock and snap his fingers the moment the clock hit 4.

Cliffhanger!

Also I want to ask how much you guys want worldbuilding? Like do you want an explanation for the Ideology of Unionism/Pan Eastern Nationalism or not?

Ash Betrayed (Part - 17)

It had been 2 years since Ash had discovered the truth about his heritage. In these 2 years, Ash had done rigorous training under David to improve his Aura Prowess! A Combination of Meditation, physically exercise and reading the Aura Scriptures called Vedens, which contain in them the stories of Gods. In these two years, he had no only proven David wrong, but even surpassed the expectations of Ilene and Delia. Within 6 Months, Ash was able to understand his Pokémons’ words. Within a year, he was able to use Aura to strengthen his Physical Abilities to unhuman level. Just like his father, Ash was fast enough to beat even the fastest Pokémons in race.

Within 1 and a half year, Ash was able to manifest stable Aura Projections. Ash not only trained himself, but also his Pokémons. He had called back all of his Pokémons (Except Tauroses who were in Ketchum’s farm under Delia care), including the ones who have left him (No Legendary or UB for the time being). Many of them are now fully evolved (Those which have specially refused to evolve will not evolve, other writers may violate their consent, but I will not)

And now, after two years, at the age of 17, Ash was dueling with Multiple Aura Users, with his previous incarnation (Sir Aaron) Staff in his hand, dressed in proper Aura User Attire, he was defeating people left and right in the ‘Aura Duel’ in a building resembling a Roman Stadium (Obviously no killing).

An Aura Duel is a duel in which an Aura User and his three Aura Pokémons fight multiple Aura Users (and their Aura Pokémons) to prove to the entire Aura Society that they are worth of some title. Right Now, Ash was dueling for the Title of ‘Aura Guardian of Kanto’, one of the 12 most prestigious positions in the entire Aura Foundation (This whole thing is being done in secret. Just for y’all information). The 12 Positions and their current holders are

1) Aura Foundation President – Tobias of Sinnoh

2) Aura Captain of Rota – David Adamson of Rota

3) Aura Guardian of Kanto – Vacant (The former Guardian died, why do you think Ash is trying to claim the position)

4) Aura Guardian of Johto – Morty of Ecruteak City

5) Aura Guardian of Hoeen – Wallace of Sootoplis City

6) Aura Guardian of Sinnoh – Prince Riley Irving

7) Aura Guardian of Kitakami – Champion Carmine of Mossui Town

8) Aura Guardian of Unova – Natural Harmonia Gropius

9) Aura Guardian of Kalos – Gurkinn of Shalour City

10) Aura Guardian of Alola – Princess Acerola

11) Aura Guardian of Galar – Bea of Stow-on-Side

12) Aura Guardian of Paldea – Professor Tyme of Montenevera Town

(Note: So Aura Guardian of Rota is separate position which is held by the Queen {or King} of Rota but in all meetings of the Foundation, she is represented by the Aura Captain of Rota, so that title is really just on paper. It is also a title which is not recognized by Rotan Monarchy, thus Ilene will never be addressed with the title ‘Aura Guardian of Rota)

(Note – Please suggest Surnames for these people)

Of the 12 positions, the Positions of Aura Guardians are of equal status and power, with each Aura Guardian having power to deal with Aura Users native to their regions. Aura Captain and President and High power position with Aura President being Above the Aura Captain, according to the Foundation’s constitution. Aura President is elected by Aura Users around the world and thus have power to establish laws regarding their various issues related to the Foundation and Aura Users’ life. Aura Captain is the Military head of the Foundation, having the power to mobilize Aura Users with (In matters of emergencies, without) Aura Guardians’ Permission.

Obviously, the outer world thinks the titles of ‘Aura Guardians’ and ‘Aura President’ merely define who are the regional heads and CEO of the foundation. For the Outer World, ‘Aura Captain’ was merely a symbolic position which, according to precedent, usually exchange hand amongst royalty, a symbol of an old era.

Sadly, the Outer world could never be told the truth, for its own sake, for its own stability.

Sadly, the Outer world could not witness the Great Duel in which Ash Ketchum, Along side his three Aura Pokémons, Mega Evolved Lucario, Ash Greninja and Pikachu.

There are types of Aura Pokémons, they are

1) Animae Pokémons :- They are the type of Aura Pokémons with whom their exist a Soul to Soul relationship. They are bound to be together in every reincarnation. Eg here will be Ash’s and Sir Aaron’s Lucario (s), David’s Glaceon and Ilene’s Mr Rime.

2) Per Cor Pokémons :- They are the type of Aura Pokémons with whom their exist a type of Master-Servant Relationship in which ab Aura User takes interest in a particular Pokémon. Their need not be any prior birth connection but it tends to happens most of time, especially if the Per Cor Pokémon is a legendary. The Pokémon loyally serves his master and the master’s Aura makes him extremely power, sometime temporary change the Pokémon’s physical form even. Eg here will be Ash’s Greninja, Tobias’ Darkrai and Riley’s Absol.

3) Per Vitam Pokémons :- They are the type of Aura Pokémons with whom your connection happens through the natural course of your life. MANY a times, Per Vitam Pokémons become more closer to their masters then Animae Pokémons. Best example is Ash’s Pikachu.

With one final strike, Ash defeated the final opponent. With that, Ash and his three Aura Pokémons had proven, in front of a large number Aura Users of Rota, the Aura Guardians, Aura Captain David, Aura President Tobias, Queen Ilene, the Commander-In-Chiefs of the three armed forces of Rota and the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of Rota, that he was worthy of becoming the Next Aura Guardian of Kanto. Sat next to Ilene was Ash’s extremely proud mother, Delia Ketchum.

“Honourable Aura Users of Rota! The Great Aura Guardians and Aura Captain! Righteous Aura President Tobias! Her Majesty Queen of Rota Ilene! Her Loyal Commander-In-Chiefs and the Great Patriarchs and Matriarchs of Rota!” Ash said as he raised his staff as Pikachu climbs his shoulder. Lucario and Greninja, transforming back into their normal forms, stand next to Ash, grinning about their victory.

“And my dear mother,” Ash said humbly as Delia whipped off her tears, smiling happily.

“By winning this duel, I have proven that I am capable of carrying forward the Legacy of the First Aura Guardian of Kanto, Commander-In-Chief Cyril Surge! And my Great Successor, late Hershel Lawrence!!!” Ash said as Ilene got up from her Throne, proud of her brother.

“Yes Prince Ash of Rota, you have proven yourself by defeating 1000 Aura Users continuously, now, Aura President Tobias give the final decision,” Ilene said as she sat on her Throne and Tobias stood up.

“According to customs created long ago by The first Aura User, Later Master Auren, winning Aura Duels means the person has proven their capacities and thus I declare that Prince-” Before Tobias could complete the sentence, David interrupted.

“I challenge Prince Ash Ketchum of Rota!!!!” David said as he stood up from his seat, pulling out his Sabre. Shocking everyone present.

“Aura Captain of Rota! Sir David Adamson of the Adamite Clan!!!! What are you saying!!!!!” Ilene asked, nearly forgetting the Royal protocol inherited anger.

“Your Highest Majesty, it is the right of every Aura User to challenge another Aura User to a Duel as well the right to enter into an existing Aura Duel, and right now, I am exercising both of those rights,” David said as Jump from the VIP sitting zone and landed in the Battlefield. He snapped his fingers and three Pokémons came out his belt, these were Glaceon (Animae), Machamp (Per Cor) and Steelix (Per Vitam).

“But Sir-” Before Ash could complete his sentence, Ash raised his hand, symbolically ordering his ward to pick up his weapon. Ash Sighed as he tightened his grip on his staff. Lucario and Greninja transformed into their Mega and Ash Greninja forms.

“You know the rules and procedures when two Aura Users take part in an individual ‘Aura Duel’, ready,” David said.

“I! Ash Ketchum/David Adamson! With my Animae Aura Pokémon Lucario/Frost (Daivd's Glaceon), my Per Cor Aura Pokémon Greninja/Baku (David’ Machamp) and my Per Vitam Aura Pokémon Pikachu/Orion (David’s Steelix)! Am ready for this Aura Duel!!” Ash and David said together as all six strike at each other.

Note: There is no switching, a Pokémon of one category has to fight the same category Pokémon. And obviously, the Aura Users are supposed to fight each other.

“//This is some royal BS!!!!!//” Pikachu said as he dodged Orion’s (He is mega Evolved) attacks.

“Language!” Ash said as he block David’s strike with his staff.

“What the hell is he doing!!!!” Ilene said as she hit the armrest of her Throne.

“I am sure he has noble intentions Ilene, Red was David’s Aura Master before his-” Delia paused to whip her tears

“I have complete confidence in his judgement,” Delia said as Ilene Sighed, unable to debate her Aunt.

“This is so unprecedented, isn’t it Granpa,” Korrina, who was sitting next to Gurkinn, said.

“It very much is, I don’t remember any instances of an Aura Master challenging his own pupil,” Gurkinn said as Bea nodded.

“I am aware of Ash’s capabilities, I am sure he will be Victorious,” Bea said.

“But wouldn’t David’s defeat mean Ash will become the next Aura Captain?” Morty asked.

“That is correct,” Riley answered.

“This is not a question on Ash’s capabilities but, if he won, will he be able to handle the pressure of the position?” Tobias said

“I am sure he will,” Riley defended.

“You sure you are not saying that just because he is your family,” Carmine asked

“No champion Carmine, I am saying purely based on Ash’s talents,” Riley said.

“I can’t agree less with Riley in this matter, the boy is brilliant,” Wallace added.

While the high ups were talking, Ash and David were fighting. Ash was playing defensively while David was on the aggressive.

“I don’t get what is the meaning behind this!” Ash said as block another one Swing of David’s Sabre.

“Consider this your final test Prince!” David said as he swing his Sabre at him.

While this was going on, Baku, which had taken the form of a 6 armed beast, was continuously throwing rocks at Ash’s Greninja, who was dodging each one of them.

“//What happened Greninja? Scared of me?//” Balu said as the continued his assault of rocks.

“//One mistake Baku! Your one, single, unmindful Mistake will be your end!!!!//” Greninja said as he used his tongue to catch one of the rocks and throw it back at Baku, who was barely able to dodge.

“//Good one Gren!!!//” Pikachu said as he dodged Orion’s continuous tall slap.

“//Focus on your battle or you will become flatter than a stunfisk//” Lucario said as he and Frost circle each other.

“//Says the ones who are just circling around each other//” Baku said as he threw rocks at Greninja.

“//Don’t misinterpret this Baku!//” Orion said as it continued it’s assault with it’s tall.

While all this was going on, Ash started getting more and more aggressive in his attacks. With on swift move of his staff, Ash hit David hand, disarming him of his Sabre.

“It is over for you sir!” Ash said as he pointed his staff to David, who just smirked and snapped his fingers, which was a signal for Frost to attack Lucario. Frost used ice beam on Lucario, breaking their circle. The sudden commotion attracted Ash’s attention for a moment, which was enough for David to jump behind Ash, grabbing his Sabre along the way, and slashing Ash on the back!

“ARCEUS!!!!!!!” Ash cried in Pain before getting retaking his stance.

“//You @#%@₹//” Lucario said as he went full feral, continuously attacking Frost with Aura spheres, which she was dodging gracefully.

“//That’s all you got big boy?//” Frost said with smirk.

“Lucario!!!” Ash said as he block David’s Spear.

“Lucario, Greninja and Pikachu!!! Clear your mind and focus on your opponents!!!! I want your mind blank” Ash continued as he block another hit.

Ash the three heard that, they looked at each other, sighing for closing their eyes and breathing in and out just for a moment before restarting their action.

“//Hey Orion! Can catch me underground!//” Pikachu said as he dug deep down. Orion had a ‘Is he serious ‘ face as he also went down, but the moment Orion went down, Pikachu came out and stood on his tail.

“//Hey Frost! Where the hell is this Greninja! Also trying tell Orion that his prey is outside//” Baku said as he turned his head, trying to spot Greninja which had turned invisible.

“//Currently in a tight spot Baku!” Frost said as she barely dodged Lucario’s bone rush.

“//This is no good, he continued close distance combat, I will not get the distance require for any Aura move or ice beam//” Frost thought to herself as she dodged.

Suddenly, the ground shook as Orion came out of the ground, jumping on Pikachu, his entire body above the ground. Seeing this, Pikachu just smirked.

“//Neither rocky-Groundy Outer shell nor firmly on the ground, in short, nothing to protect you from my thunderbolt!!!//” Pikachu said with a smirk as his eyes turned yellow and with all his force, he used Thunderbolt on the two crystals of Orion.

“//SON OF A BI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!//” Orion shouted in deep pain before falling on the ground, turning into his normal form.

“Orion the Steelix is down!” Tobias announced as the public cried in Ash’s support.

Note: So everyone knows Mega Steelix has Crystals coming out of it. So My logic is that Steelix’s outer shell is ground like and thus can’t conduct electricity, underneath it is its Steel body. Since both Crystals and Metal are conductors of Electricity, I have come to the conclusion strong thunderbolt should do the treat with Orion.

“//What the hell!!!//” Frost shouted, her eyes leaving Lucario for merely a moment, but that one moment was more than enough for Lucario. The moment Frost eyes came back to Lucario, it was too late. She saw Lucario about to hit her with an Aura Powered Bone Rush.

“Oh shi-//” Frost said before flying across the battlefield.

“Frost the Glaceon is down!” Tobias announced.

“The Prince’s Pokemons have talent,” The Commander-In-Chief of Royal Rotan Army, Moltke Henryson said.

“The Prince himself is not part bad,” The Commander-In-Chief of Royal Rotan Navy, Robert Michealson said.

“I am sure one day he will make a great Aura Captain,” The Commander-In-Chief of Royal Rotan Air Force, Baren Jaidenson, said.

“//Shit shit shit!//” Baku said as he looked around, clearly scared of what is about to happen. Suddenly, He felt something wrap around his foot.

“//Oh shit//” Baku said as he knew what it was, it was Greninja’s tongue. Before he could do anything, Greninja became visible and threw him upwards at the sky, before jumping even higher.

“//THE #%^@//” Baku said as he is tossed upwards. Greninja, after making reasonable vertical distance between himself and Baku, pulled out the biggest Water shuriken he has ever made and threw it on Baku.

“//Well I am dead now!//” Baku said before the water Shuriken hit him, making in crash land on the field.

“BAKU!” David shouted as he took his eyes off Ash just for a moment (Like Animae Pokemon, Like Master)

“Baku the Machamp is out!” Tobias announced as he crowd went wild.

“Shit,” David said as he realized what was about to happen, He immediately turned only to have Ash hit him on his face by the staff, making him disarmed. David, already in a weaken state, closed his eyes. Soon, a blue Aura surrounded it.

“Get ready Prince!!!!” David shouted as an Glaceon shaped Aura entity came out of him, running towards Ash (Just imagine Power Rangers Jungle Fury). Ash, seeing the Glaceon shaped Aura, closed his eyes as a Navy Blue Aura surrounded him. Ash opened his eyes, which had turned navy blue for moment and shouted.

“Our Great Aura Spirit which I had inherited from my ancestors! I call upon you to aid me as you did to my ancestors!!” Ash shouted as a shapeless Aura Entity came out of Ash. With one strike, the shapeless Aura Entity de-manifested the Glaceon shaped Entity before returning back to Ash. David too felt the force of the strike, making him fall. David tried to crawl towards his sword but the moment he was about to grab it, Ash put his foot on David’s hand.

“Shit!” David shouted in pain.

“Give up sir,” Ash said in a cold tone.

“…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Fine,” David said with a sigh.

“David has been defeated!” Tobias announced as the public went wild.

“My hand!” David said as Ash gave him a helping hand to get up.

“You finally did it Ash, you have beaten me,” David said with a smirk.

“That is the first time you are calling me by my name,” Ash said as David grabbed Ash’s hand and raised it.

“All hail Aura Captain of Rota, Prince Ash Ketchum!” David shouted with a smile as everyone followed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“YOU DID BRILLIANT!!!!!” Ilene said as she tightly hugged Ash.

“Thank you, Ilene…………………… But O2!!!!” Ash said as Ilene broke the hug.

“I am sorry I got overexcited,” Ilene said as Ash took a sigh just for a minute before getting tightly hugged by Delia.

“Ash! I am so proud of you!!!!” Delia said as she hugged him tightly.

“MOM O2!!!!!!!” Delia said as she broke the hug.

“Sorry,” Delia said as she broke the hug. While this was going on, David came from the behind.

“Here to give your resignation David?” Ilene said with a sad smile.

“Yes your majesty!” David said with a smile as he handed his paper to her.

“You sure about this?” Ash asked.

“You won fair and square, my duty is over,” David as he bowed to Delia.

“I have kept the seat of your Husband warm mam, for your son to take is back,” David said.

“I am grateful for you to teach Ash,” Delia said with a small Bow.

“Only trying to replay the debt I hold to Master Red,” David said. Ash was about to say something but he was suddenly surrounded by the Military Chiefs and their Subordinates.

“Well they are not leaving for a while,” Ilene said.

“I would have preferred if they had let me bandaged his wound.

“I apologize for that wound Princess Delia,” David said with a bow.

“It was an Aura David, I understand,” Delia said with a smile.

“You sure you want to leave National Servies all together?” Ilene asked.

“Yes, your Majesty, I want to work for my village now, I am sure Mother Rota is more than satisfied with my work,” David said as he looked at Ash talking to the Commanders.

“History tells us that whenever a member of the Ark Dynasty takes the throne of Aura Captain, a great Period of Peace has been followed,” David said as he looked at Ilene.

“I am sure you are happy about the fact that an Annoying thorn is leaving your side and a strong willed, Loyal warrior is taking his place,” David with a smile. Hearing this, Ilene immediately held his hands, making him tomato red.

“Don’t say that! We had our differences but you have always been a valuable asset to Rota and Aura Users!!!” Ilene said before realizing that she was holding David hands. This realization made her tomato as she let go of his hands.

“S-S-S-S-Sorry, I got carried away,” Ilene said, trying to hide her blush through her hairs.

“I-I-I-I-I-I-It is fine your majesty,” David said, using his hat to cover his blush.

“Oh stop it you two,” Delia said with a smile.

“W-W-W—W-W-What do you mean Aunty!” Ilene said, blushing crazy hard.

“Acting like you don’t know it Ilene,” Delia said with a mischievous smile.

“I-I-I-I-I-I will……….. I will have my leave!” David said. Delia tried to stopped him but he got away.

“You know, I always had a feeling that you two might be destined, and it seems I was right,” Delia said with a smirk.

“I-I-It is not like that,” Ilene said, blushing hard.

“Really?” Delia asked, partly knowing the answer.

“Ok I will meet you all afterwards, thank you!” Ash said as the commanders and their subordinates finally left him.

“Finally I free- Where is sir?” Ash asked.

“Oh he left, he had……………… let’s just say his ‘realization’, for lack of a better term,” Delia said as Ilene blushed.

“I see- Ouch!” Ash said as he rubbed his wounded.

“Come on Ash! I will put medicine on your wound!” Delia said as she grabbed her son’s hand.

“Aunty! You should rest! I will put medicine on his wound!” Ilene said as she grabbed Ash’s other hand.

“Ilene, that will not be necessary!” Delia said as she pulled Ash towards herself.

“No Aunty! It is not out of necessary but out of desire to take care of my baby brother!” Ilene said as she pulled Ash towards herself.

“Guys! You are hurting me!” Ash tried to stop the two but to no avail.

“I am his mother and thus I have a fundamental right and duty to take care of him!” Delia said as she pulled Ash towards herself.

“And I am his sister and this I too have a fundamental right and duty to take care of him!” Ilene said as she pulled Ash towards herself.

“And I have a fundamental right of not becoming a tug-of-war rope!!!!” Ash said but his cried was ignored.

At a distance, Pikachu, Greninja and Lucario were just witnessing the entire scene, trying to not laugh

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Ouch!” Ash cried in pain as Delia continued to put medicine on Ash’s wound.

“Just a little more, dear,” Delia said.

Ilene had to back down from the tug-of-war for Ash after her ministers (forcefully) took her away for state duties.

“Hey Mom, so I was using my Aura vision to look at the commanders and their subordinates-” Before Ash could complete his statement, Delia interrupted him.

“Ash, just because you have mastered Aura Vision, that doesn’t mean you should always use it! Your dad used to always use it and that is why he never had many friends, also, isn’t it too taxing on your body?” Delia said with concern.

“I was just making sure they had the best intentions for Rota or not, most did, but there was the occupational nutcase who wanted to kill his boss to take his place, anyways, I was looking at them with Aura Vision, and then I saw David and Ilene, both of their Auras were Pink, which I think represents their romantic love for each other or something,” Ash said nonchalantly, shocking Delia.

“Y—Y-Y-Y-You can’t say things like that this nonchalantly!” Delia said, a little embarrassed.

“I still don’t understand exactly what love is! I thought when Ilene gave me ‘The Talk’, I will understand it, but instead I got scarred for life,” Ash said as Delia sighed.

“*Sigh* Ash……………… I think I need to tell you, Ilene has told you about how babies are made right?” Delia asked.

“And I am still in trauma because of it,” Ash answered.

“Good, I just need to tell you the cutesy emotional stuff! So Ash!” Delia said as she held Ash’s hands.

“Basically! Romantic Love is the love you can feel for some who is not your family! They might or might not be your friends! Heck! There is a chance you were supposed to hate each other but end up in love! That is what happened to me!” Delia said as she went on saying a of of thing in flowery language.

“Mom, you are saying a lot of things which are going over my head! You know what! Just tell me how to identify if I am in love with someone, and I will figure out the rest,” Ash said with a sigh.

“*Smirks* Ok, the easiest way to identify if you are in love with someone is that you always want to be with them, even in your dreams!” Delia said before putting bandage on the wound.

“Think about what I said, Aura Captain Ash Ketchum!” Delia said with a smirk as she left.

“You understood what she said?” Ash asked Pikachu who was chilling on the be.

“//Nope!//” Pikachu said.

“Same here,” Ash said.

“//I still not dense, unlike you,//” Pikachu said.

“Hey!” Ash said.

“Regardless, let’s go to bed,” Ash said as he turned off the lights and went to bed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was bright sunny day! It was Pallet Town, where Ash, an older was culturing the field with his pokemons, suddenly, he felt a warm hand on his shoulder, he turned to see an older Dawn, in a farmer outfit. She kissed Ash on the cheek, both of them saying ‘I love you’ to each other before Dawn took over the tracker for Ash. He then went to the kitchen, where he found an older Serena, who was wearing a nice housewife cook outfit. His body moved on his own as he lifted her by the waist and kissed her on the cheek. Serena just laughs, both saying to each other ‘I love you’. After Ash put her down, Serena giving him a cup of tea and pointed him upwards via her eyes. Ash body again moved on his own as he moved upward to the Ketchum Residence Library, where an older Lillie was doing some research. His body, out of his conscious control, moved to Lillie, putting the tea on the table and kissing Lillie on the forehead. Lillie, who seem to tired, just smiled before both of them said to each other ‘I love you.’ After this, he went to the main hall of the Ketchum residence, where he found a photo of the three girls in bride dress. At the end, he says to himself ‘I love them!’

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ash woke up from the dream the moment he heard the words ‘I love them’, his face was red as a tomato and his heart was beating so fast, he felt he might get a heart attack.

“W-W-W—W-W-W-W—What was that!” Ash shouted to himself. It was so loud that even Pikachu woke up.

“//WHAT HAPPENED! //” Pikachu shouted as he got up and took attacking position.

“//What happened Ash?//” Pikachu asked after finding out nothing was out of place.

“………………………………. Nothing, forget it,” Ash said, his cheek tomato red.

“//You are blushing//” Pikachu said.

“No, I am not!” Ash shouted as Ilene and Delia entered the room.

“Are you ok Ash?” Ilene asked, followed by Delia touching his forehead.

“His temperature seem fine,” Delia said.

“But his cheeks are so red!” Ilene pointed out.

“I am fine mom, Ilene!” Ash said as he got up.

“//I think he had a bad nightmare//” Pikachu told Ilene.

“Pikachu is saying maybe Ash had a bad nightmare,” Ilene informed

“I am fine!” Ash protested against talking about the situation any further.

“No, I know my son and this is not nightmare!” Delia said as she thought for a minute before smirking.

“Did you dream about your future Lover!” Delia said as Ash face went terminally red!

“IT IS NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!” Ash shouted, blush iron red.

“It seems like that,” Ilene said, joining Delia.

“UMMMM!!!!!!!!! Come on Pikachu! Let’s get fresh!” Ash said as he grabbed the yellow furball and left.

“//Hey! At least tell me who did you saw?//” Pikachu said with a smirk

“Just it smart @ss!” Ash said as he left, leaving a Delia and Ilene, laughing.

“Oh Arceus…………………………. Umm,” Ilene said as she stopped Laughing.

“Everything fine?” Delia asked.

“It just……………………. Now his three year long captaincy training will start, one year completely with the army and then two years in isolation………………. I am worried for him,” Ilene said with a sigh.

“Don’t be! He is the son of Aura Captain Red Ketchum, Prince of Rota! I am sure he it up to the challenge!” Delia said with a proud smile.

Finally! Background over! Now I can start with the bloody betrayal arc……………………. Kind of

Ash Betrayed (Part - 16)

Daughter of Late Sir Aaron of the Adamite Clan and Queen Rin Irving I was Crown Princess Jehna, born after her father demised. At the tendering age of 5, she started showing her abilities. She was extremely smart and resourceful. She also started showing early signs of Aura Powers, much to the delight of Queen Rin. At a mere age of 6, various Noble Families, not only in the Eastern Regions, but also in western regions like in Kalos and Galar (Even the many business families of Unova) started sending gifts to her, all with the desire of gaining her hand in marriage. Her Looks, her abilities, her smartness, were even influencing Gods.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(All our in their Pokemon Forms)

“What are you looking at Palkia?” Dialga asked as she entered his regime, wanting to talk to her brother regarding something.

“Oh I was just looking Princess Jehna,” Palkia said with a creepy smile.

“She is 6 for mom’s sake brother, at least spare her!” Dialga said with a disgusted look.

“I am not going to anything right now……………………. But I was thinking! It hasn’t been a long time since we have taken birth as human right?” Palkia said with a smirk.

“I don’t like where you are taking this,” Dialga said with an angry look.

“You don’t get it, regardless, I am soon going to take birth in Javidite Clan Household, so I can win her hand in marriage and then,” Palkia said as he look at Princess Rin playing with her mother.

“You can’t just do that! We are suppose to take birth as Humans only when necessary! Not whenever we want!” Dialga tried to reasoned with her brother.

“Ok Fine Miss Perfect, what do you want from me?” Palkia said with a smirk.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Hall of Origin, everyone were waiting for Palkia so they can begin a meeting on some crucial God-Related Issues.

“Where is he!!!!!” Dialga shouted as she walked in circles.

“I am sure Dad will show up soon Aunt,” Solgaleo said.

“Yeah sure,” Celebi said.

“He is your Uncle Dear,” Dialga said to Celebi.

“Understood Mom,” Celebi said with an angry Nod. Suddenly, A Cosmog came in the Hall holding something.

“What are you doing here little guy?” Lunala said as came near the Cosmog, who gave her a piece of paper.

“What is this?” Lunala said as she read the thing.

“Dad is taking birth in a Javidite Clan Household to marry Princess Rin,” Lunala said in a nonchalant voice.

“WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!” Dialga shouted while Arceus just sighed.

“Well this can’t stop, let’s have this meeting afterwards,” Arceus said as she dismissed her court. Everyone left the court upset about wasted time.

“Mom! This is unacceptable!!!!!!” Dialga shouted,

“Dialga, you know your brother, and he always remains in stress, let him have a break,” Arceus said.

“Mom! He can’t just reincarnate on Earth! It will cause imbalance! I am already angry with him regarding Tauros Shit Horniness!!!! You know how many Human females he fu-” Dialga said before getting interrupted.

“Language,” Arceus said.

“Ahh! Mom! Call him back right now! If something happened, the Arks will be angry with us and you don’t want that, do you?” Dialga said.

“That is why he reincarnated to Earth to properly marry her, if he merely desired her body, he would have waited a few years,” Arceus said as Dialga lower head in defeat.

“Mom, I want permission to take birth on Earth,” Dialga said as Arceus Eyes widen in confusion.

“Now why you?” Arceus asked.

“Now that brother of mine has taken birth on Earth, I might as well go there too to ensure that at least he does something useful there to benefit humanity,” Dialga said.

“Very well dear,” Arceus said as Dialga turned to Celebi.

“Take Care of my work and other Celebis while I am gone, ok Princess?” Dialga said as she patted her eldest child, her eldest daughter’s head.

“Understood Mom,” Celebi said as Dialga disappeared to take birth in a Servile Household of the Rotan Royal Family.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I was a playmate and study partner of Princess Jehna. My parents have gifted me the name ‘Akiko.’ Palkia took birth as the third born of Javidite Prince. Because of my divine abilities, gifted to me my mother, I was born extremely intelligence, while my brother, who was gifted the name Zeus, was born extremely strong. Obviously, we both were awaken and knew of our true existence. Whenever Princess Jehna left us alone, I would try to plan with him what is supposed to the be the goal of this birth, but he was busy flirting with Jehna who, much to my dismay, Enjoyed it,” Dialga said with a sighed as Ash and Ilene sat in front of her. Ilene had called Dialga to tell Ash the story.

“So Palkia, in the form of Zeus, married Princess Jehna and that blood runs in mine and Ilene’s veins?” Ash asked, still unable to believe Arceus blood flows in his veins.

“Well no, Palkia was the father of King Henry, but not of Queen Jessica and Prince Karl, who are your ancestors,” Dialga said with a sighed, knowing what is to come.

“Wait, so who is the father of Grandpa Karl and Grand Aunt Jessica?”” Ash asked.

“Well………………………………… That person is standing in front of You,” Dialga said as Ilene covered her ears, knowing what is to come.

“Oh ok,” Ash said as Ilene uncovered her ears, unable to believe Ash was able to take it so well.

“Ilene you might-” Dialga said as she was interrupted by Ash, whose mind just completed processing the new information.

“WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Ash shouted as he processed the new information but still didn’t comprehend it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: Now that Ash has calmed down, we can come back.

“So……………………. you are our Great Grand Father…………………… right?” Ash was extremely confused about the new development.

“Basically? Yes,” Dialga said.

“But were Biologically female in Akiko form?” Ash asked.

“Technically yes,” Dialga answered.

“So how did you and Prince Jehna……………………….. Like I don’t know the exact process but as much as I know Homosexual Couples can’t make babies…………………. Mom never told me why though,” Ash said.

“Well………………………. Ash you need to understand that I am a goddess……………… made my Arceus for that matter……………….. so I am, for lack of a better term, complete,” Dialga said.

“What do you mean by that?” Ash asked confused.

“I mean…………………. You and Ilene are incomplete, but I am complete,” Dialga tried to explain as Ilene tried to hold her laughter.

“I am sorry what way you are complete?” Ash asked, still confuse.

“*Sigh* Ilene I need you to give him ‘The Talk’ afterwards,” Dialga said.

“I am not corrupting my Innocent Ashy!” Ilene said as she hugged her brother.

“*Sighed* That is why I told Anne separating these two age this age will be a bad idea! Anyways! You have to! My order! Regardless! Coming back to my story, as We three grew up, our capabilities grew, Palkia in Apollo form became the Commander-In-Chief of Rotan Royal Army and I became the Prime Minister, first female PM to brag,” Dialga said with head held high.

“So how did you and Princess Jehna?” Ash asked.

“Well, as Time passed, mine and Jehna’s relationship grew and………………………… Well I am not proud of myself for that but I did find myself falling for Dear Jehna………………… She brilliant, turns out Princess Jehna also liked me,” Dialga said with a smile.

“So how did Princess Jehna and Apollo?” Ash asked.

“Well, you can say Jehna’s talents were not limited to the battlefield and the Court, she was more than capable of handling both me and Apollo and we both really liked her so……………………. I became her left hand and Palkia was her right,” Dialga explained.

“I don’t think I understood anything other than both of you were married to Princess Jehna,” Ash said.

“Yeah Basically,” Dialga said.

“Now I love to tell you stories about Jehna but I don’t have time for that, so I will have my leave, have a good day,” Dialga said as she disappeared.

“And that is why we have the title of ‘Descendent of Arceus’ *Sighed* Only if that title saved us from the Curse,” Ilene said as she looked down. Ash put a hand on her shoulder.

“Ilene, I know you deeply care about me, but we have to understand and face the facts! Ilene, without your support, I will not become a good Aura User! Thus, I want you to forget about the curse and focus complete on the relevant matters of today and future,” Ash said as Ilene eyes flooded and she hugged her brother.

“When did you became so big,” Ilene asked as Ash hugged her back.

One more chapter and then we will take the traditional betrayed formula…………………. Kind of

Ash Betrayed (Part - 15)

The entire City Rota was in full alert, Royal Soldiers searching every corner of the city, of Castle to find Ash (Yet to be titled) Prince of Rota. Ilene was in high stress, she herself was searching for her baby brother. When she came to the dinning room, she find that while all the soldiers were in motion, searching every corner of the room, David was just sitting with his legs on the table, chilling.

"Would you mind helping us find Ash or your delicate feet can't handle it!" Ilene said with an angry express.

"Why can't you accept the guy has ran away, he couldn't handle the pressure. I knew he would soon break, but I didn't knew he will break so soon," David said as Ilene grinder her teeth, wanting him shut up.

"Ashy is not a coward!!!!! My brother is smart and brave!!!! He will never run away from his responsibilities," Ilene said in a thunderous voice.

"*Sigh as he got up and walk to her* Your Majesty, this is not you speaking, this is the sister in you speaking, because even you know that Ash current power level is pathetically weak for someone from the Ark Dynasty, he probably thought he would-" Before David could complete the sentence, Ilene pinned him to the Wall and manifested an Aura sword, hovering just left of David abdomen.

"If you can't help, stay the #₹@& silent but don't say a single word about my baby brother!" Ilene said with the most threatening look possible.

"U-U-U-U-Understood your majesty" David said, his face turning a little red).

"YOUR MAJESTY!!!!!!" A soldier as ge entered.

"Master Ash!!!! He is back, he said he was in the jungle!" The soldier said as Ilene's Aura sword dematerialised.

"He is back!!!!!" Ilene said with a happy voice, doing an instant 180 degree in emotion. After a few minutes, Ash was back in the Castle, being tightly hug by Ilene.

"WHERE WERE YOU!!!!!!" Ilene asked as she hugged him tightly.

"Ilene, I will tell you everything in detail but I want to talk to you in private," Ash said as he broke the hug.

"Private!" Ilene said as all soldiers and servants left, except David.

"David, I said-" Before Ilene could complete, David interrupted.

"I am his master, I have the right to-" David said before stopping and retreating, scared by Ilene's angry look.

"Understood your majesty," David said as he left.

"What is it Ashy?" Ilene asked in a concerned tone.

"*Sighs* I met Dad today," Ash said as Ilene eyes widen and she turned away, as if trying to not to maintain eye contact with Ash.

"Uncle appear to you in his Aura Form? So, he still hasn't reincarnated yet?" Ilene said as she started Arranging plates on the dining table.

"Ilene," Ash said as Ilene covered her ears.

"D-D-D-Don't tell me anything! I don't wanna hear!" Ilene said as Ash sighed.

"This is Mom thing all over again," Ash said.

"//Yeah, it is like the Author is trying to create ground so in future chapters, he can have conflict between Mom and Ilene for you, //" Pikachu said as he was lying on the table lazily.

"*Sigh as he hugged Ilene* Ilene please, We can't ignore the reality," Ash said as Ilene broke down, crying.

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I am sorry Ash............................. I was afraid that if you learned about the truth, you will be the greatly hurt........................... I didn't want to see you hurt," Ilene said as she wiped her tears.

"*Ash sighed as he put his hands on her cheeks* Ilene, I will not say that I was not deeply hurt about the actions of our Ancestors......................... But that is Ancient history......................... And Now I know my time is limited-" Ash said before being interrupted by Ilene.

"Don't dare say that!!!! We-We are finding a way to break that Curse! Nothing will happen to you ok! Nothing will happen to you!!!" Ilene said.

"*sighed* Ilene, that is not possible, you know it....................... The curse has existed for over 10000 years," Ash said as Ilene looked away.

"I-I-I-I-I-I don't understand......................... WE ARE HER KIN!!!! HOW CAN ARCEUS STILL ALLOW US TO BE PUNISHED!!!!!!" Ilene said as she slapped her fist on the table (Waking Pikachu, who screamed in fear, thinking an earthquake came) before realising what she said. Suddenly, she felt Ash hand on her shoulder.

"Ilene, I think the whole 'Descendant of Arceus' title has started to get to you, we are obviously not the actual descendant of Arceus," Ash said with a laugh, but he stopped when Ilene didn't laugh with him.

"You are not laughing Ilene," Ash said in a concerned tone. Ilene just looked away, not wanting to speak about it.

"Ilene don't tell me," Ash said in a shocked and confuse tone.

"Yes Ash................... What you are thinking is correct," Ilene said AS Ash remained quiet.

"WHAT THE FUC-"

Me: Let's go somewhere else, Ash is having.............................................. A breakdown.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dawn was with her Mom Veilstone Department Shore, buying dresses for her next Contest.

"I can't wait for my next contest!" Dawn said.

"I know dear!" Johanna said with a smile.

The mother and daughter duo were carrying a lot of bags, which had in them a lot of accessories and dresses. Dawn was ready to win the Sinnoh's Top Coordinator this Time.

"Zoey better be well prepared this time! I will do my best and become the Sinnoh Top Coordinator!" Dawn said.

"And then Ash's wife," Johanna said with a smirk.

"Shut up Mom!!!!" Dawn said, her face red tomato. Suddenly, she felt something weird, as if some voice was calling her.

"Umm Mom! You take care of this................. I feel like going somewhere," Dawn said.

"Where?" Johanna asked, confused by her daughter's words.

"I don't know," Dawn said as she left the bags with Johanna and walked away.

"I will be in at the Ice shop in the Store," Johanna shouted as Dawn nodded and got out of Johanna's vision.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why am I here?" Dawn said as she came to a dark alley in a bad corner of the city. She tried to understand why she was hear when suddenly, someone pinned her to one of the walls.

"AHH!!!" Dawn said as she was pinned.

"Who the freak are you!!!!!" Dawn said as she looked at the man who had pinned her.

"Aw! Don't mind me Dawn Berlitz, daughter of Johanna Berlitz, maiden name Johanna Diamond, and Late Professor Daniel Berlitz, I just want to know you better," the Man said as Dawn's eyes widen.

"Don't spit out my parents name from your dirty mouth you piece of-" Dawn said as she was about to kick the man on the crotch but he stopped her, without even touching her leg.

"W-W-W-W-W-What! W-W-W-W-W—W-What the freak are you!!!!!" Dawn said as she was unable to move her leg. She wanted to run but her legs were not listening to her.

"Oh Dawn, I know a lot about you, and I just want you to know me a little better" The man said as he brought his head closer to Dawn's neck.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!! HELP!!!!!!!" Dawn said as her eyes flooded.

"No one can listen you her-" Before the man could say or do anything physical with Dawn, he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned to see a girl, about the same age as him

"Stay away from her," The girl said.

"Ahh!!!!!" He said as he let Dawn go, who immediately hid behind the girl who just saved her.

"I was just having a little fun," the man said as he shredded his shoulder. The girl turned to Dawn and bowed a little.

"I apologize for my brother's behaviour," The girl said.

"Y-Y-Y-Y-You don't need to apologize," Dawn said as she bowed a little to her and ran away.

"You always ruin the fun," The man said before getting his foot stomped on by the girl.

"You bastard! At least leave the girl who saved your ass!!!!!" The girl shouted.

"Oh please, if anything, she saved your ass, also it was Ash who did it," The man said.

"You should chill sometimes! Look at me! I am always chill! Always fun," The man said as his sister shouted.

"Your 'fun' this very year has caused enough damage! I lost the count of how many illegitimate bastards of yours took birth this year but I am sure it exceeds 100!!!!!! OVER A 100 THIS ALONE!!!!! DO YOU NOT FEEL SHAME!!!!!!

"Only 100? Damn, last year it was 150, if I want to break my record I should look for more women!" The man said shamelessly.

"You are undebatable! Leave now!!!!" The girl said as her brother snapped his fingers and disappeared.

"*Sighs* We need to deal with his Tauros shit Mom! Or it will be too late!" The girl said as she felt a weird feeling. A Familiar feeling.

"Ilene is calling me," The girl said as she snapped her fingers and disappeared.

Who are these Siblings? In the next Episode!

Ash Betrayed (Part - 14)

"Took you long enough," Said the Blue Figure as Ash eyes widen. He had only seen him in pictures. He had no memory of him. But on seeing him, it felt like he had known for ages. It was

"Dad," Ash said as Pikachu was extremely confused.

"//Wait what? Oh yeah he does look similar to the photo........................... WAIT WASN'T HE DEAD?????????//" Pikachu shouted.

"Well yeah, I am dead Pikachu," Red said with a smile.

"You can understand Pikachu?" Ash asked, still unsured as to how to react to this situation.

"*Nods* Once David complete your training, you will be able to understand them too," Red said as Ash walked towards him. He had many emotions in his mind and thus his body wasn't able to express any of them.

"H-How?" Ash asked as he tried to touch his father, but his hand went through him, he was like sunlight, you could feel him, you could see, but you can't touch him.

"I am not alive Ash, this is my......................... Soul you could say," Red said. His eyes saw the innocent wish to hug his son, but that was not possible.

"How?" Ash asked as he look at Red and his body decided on one emotion............................ Sadness.

"Where were you when Mom needed you?" Ash said as his eyes flooded.

"Son, trust me.................................. If things work like how I desired, I would have been with you two but-" Red said as his eyes flooded as well.

"I can't.............................. I am sorry........................ but I can't," Red said as shook his hand as cool breeze came out of nowhere, drying Ash's tears.

"Don't cry Ash, we Arks are not made to cry, but to force the enemies of Arceus to cry!" Red said.

"Yeah," Ash said as he whip his tears.

"Son, please walk with me........................ I want to talk to you............................. about things which dear Ilene will not tell you," Red said as Ash (Pikachu on his shoulder) and he started walking.

"Ilene is hiding something from me?" Ash asked with curiosity.

"Yeah.......................... In tell you about Ancestor Auren, she left out two things.................................... Two bloody things which still impact our family," Red said as he looked at Ash.

"Can you bear to hear it?" Red asked as Ash nodded.

"Yes Dad," Ash said as Red smiled.

"Proud of you son," Red said with a sigh.

"Ok Ash, there are two things you need to learn about the Battle of Rota......................... The battle between the Clans and Nomads and the Clan Reformists............................. First............................. was the Rotan Massacre,"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was bloody hell. The ground was redder than a Magikarp scales. Prince Henson laid dead in front of Auren, killed by his very hands. Prince Henson was a good man, a people's man. He always cared for his people. He was a strong devotee of Nature. While his Tutelary Deity was Mew, he had a strong desire to learn about various deities which existed in the belief system of the various clans. But he was also a traditionalist. He believed that 'Why all gods are must be respected, we should not leave the gods we follow' It was at this point where conflict arose between Patriarch Henry and Prince Henson. While Prince Henson respected the Nomad Religion, he was opposed to spreading it and conversion. This conflict led to the Clan Reformist Movement.

Now that movement laid dead, its warriors laid dead, its leaders laid death, its men laid dead. Its women and children were now at the mercy of the invaders, trapped in the very fort which was meant to protect them.

"What have I done," Auren thought to himself as he saw his Cousin-In-Law dead, killed by his very owns.............................. His interaction with him prior to the Reformist movement was limited, but all of them were happy memories.

"What shall be the fate of the ladies and children my lord?" Patriarch Adam, weirding a giant spear in his hand, asked.

"I-I-I," Auren said as whip of Prince Henson's blood from his face. Prince Henson's wife and child were in that fort, among the others ladies and children of the movement.

"ORDER THEIR MASSARCE!!!!!!" A loud voice came in Auren's head.

"I-I-I-I-I can't! They are innocent!!!!!" Auren thought, pleading to his mother goddess.

"THEY DARE TO PUT ME ON THE SAME LEVEL AS OTHERS!!!! THIS MUST BE PUNISHED WITH DEATH!!!!!!!" Arceus shouted in his mind.

"I refuse!!!!" Auren said in an angry voice.

"You refuse me! Very well Auren, I will personal order my devotees!!!!!" Arceus said as Auren became confused.

Suddenly, a bright light came out of no where as everyone looked up. It was their Mother Goddess, Arceus! Tearing the very fabric of sky to address her devotees.

"TEARS THESE HERETICS LIMB BY LIMB!!! SLAUGHTER EVERYONE OF THEM!!!!! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT (The R Word) THEM!!!!! I DON'T WANT MY DEVOTEES TOUCHING THESE DIRETY! ILLITERATE! HERETICS!!!!!!!!" Arceus commanded her followers as they, in a union, shouted

"DEUS VULT!!!!!!!" The warriors shouted in a union as they stormed in the fort. Auren saw them running towards the fort. He wanted to stopped them, but by what authority? Why will anyone would listen to him when the one who has installed him to that position is giving the orders. He could only stand still and listen to the screams of women and children, being slaughtered.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret was arranging the graves. Whatever the differences, everyone deserved a proper burial. It was then when see saw her husband, who came back just after going on a 3-hour long meditation. He did that to get away from the slaughter. From the mass killing.

"Are you find beloved?" Margaret asked with concern.

"For the first time, I wasn't able to mediated................................... This never happened before," Auren said to his wife who hugged.

"It is not your fault dear, who can deny's Mother Goddess' orders?" Margaret asked.

"W-Where is Henson's daughter body?" Auren asked as Margaret pointed towards a small body, covered from head to toe with a white blanket. Auren walked towards the body and was about uncover it, but Margaret stopped him.

"Beloved, you will not able to handle it.......................... don't," Margaret said as tears followed from her eyes.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Auren shouted as he left. His entire being was shaking and anger, guilt, regret everything. This massacre, will not be forgotten. Historians can try whatever they like to hide it, change it, it will never be forgetten.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Slaughter of innocent women and children................................ we did that!!!!!" Ash asked in complete shock.

"Much regret...................... Yes........................ truth? Also yes," Red said.

"And Arceus ordered it!!!!!!" Ash asked, to which Red just nodded.

"W-W-Why?" Ash asked.

"It was Arceus desire.......................... She doesn't have issue with the idea of people not worshipping her or if they don't know her, but if you know, and you worship her, she wants you accept her as the supreme goddess! There is no one above her, she is the mother goddess and everyone else is beneath her, you between understand that too dear," Red said.

"I see.................... Understood dad," Ash said.

"Now........................ I must tell you something which might not seem that tragic to you........................... but for your mother and me......................... It is," Red said, much to Ash's confusion.

"I must tell you about Richardian Curse," Red said as tears flooded his eyes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Auren walked along the river............................... He was unsure as to what the hell is supposed to do.................... what the hell he has done by becoming Arceus' Prophet.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of Rapidash's hoofsteps. He turned to see Commander Richard, Commander-In-Chief of Celadon Kingdom. He was also the Father-In-Law of Henson.

"Your Holiness," Richard said as he got off of Rapidash and gave Auren a respectful bow.

"Seeing you here means the war is over.................................. Is my Son-In-Law?" Richard asked with a pleading look, to which Auren just nodded.

"I see," Richard as a single tear escape his eyes.

"I-I-I-I...................................... I am proud of him, he died like a warrior.................... I am proud of him.................... regardless, kindly take me my daughter and granddaughter, I want to take them to Celadon," Richard said in a proud voice, to which Auren just look away.

"Sir, I said kindly take me to my daughter and her child, I desire to take them to my home!" Richard said as Auren continued to look at the ground, tears escape his eyes and watered the grass.

"W-W-Why are you crying......................... What happened to them!" Richard asked as he grab Auren's shoulder.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER AND HER CHILD GREAT PROPHET!!!!! WHAT HAPPENEDTO THEM GREAT CHIEF AUREN!!!!!" Richard asked in a fearful voice as he shook Auren. Auren, gathering all his courage, looked at Richard and shook his head. The message was clear for Richard.

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Richard shouted.

"Your Holiness! You- You can't order a massacre! Please tell me this all is a lie!!!!!!!!!!" Richard said as tears flowed from eyes. Auren just shook his head.

"Y........................................You...................................... You destroyed my family............................... My family has no one................................. My wife gone, my Son-In-Law gone, my daughter gone......................... My granddaughter gone................................. WHO IS GOING TO PUT MY BODY TO FLAMES!!!!!! WHO YOUR HOLINESS!!!! WHO! WHO! WHO!!!!!!" Richard said as he collapsed on the ground, crying.

"Henson was your Cousin-In-Law! His daughter was your niece!!!!!!! Why did you killed them! Why!!!!!!" Richard shouted as he looked at Auren. His tearful eyes took an angry form as the got up and took a handful of water from the river.

"Oh my Tutelary Deity Moltras! Oh Ancestor of all Mew! If I have done any good deeds of honour! Any righteous work! Then! I desire to use all that Karma to Shaap His Holiness! Chief Auren that No men of his Dynasty! Of His linear! Oh his family! Will die a natural death! They all will suffer terrible!!! Brutal deaths!!!! And for all incarnations of Auren! Their deaths will be the most brutalist! Their families will not even get a chance to give their bodies a funeral!!! Let this be true for all men who claims connection of blood or family from Auren!! Through whatever method! Adoption, birth marriage or whatever! Let no man of Auren's dynasty be save from this curse!!!!!!!!!" Richard cursed as he threw water of Auren, who folded his hands while crying.

"I-I-I......................... I accept this curse of your with complete devotee sir!" Auren said as he kneeled in front of Richard.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I see," Ash said as he listen the whole story.

"Two of Chief Reincarnations whom you must be familiar with were King Henry (Completely different from any of the Patriarch Henrys) and Sir Aaron," Red said as he started crying.

"Dad what happened?" Ash asked.

"My dear boy............................. I need to tell you this............................ The current reincarnation of Chief Auren has taken birth................................. He has," Red said crying.

"Who is it dad!" Ash asked.

"It is..................................... Its," Red said as looked at his son.

"It is you son,"

Boom! Also for those who must be wondering "Where is Sir Aaron?" Listen, if Ash is Sir Aaron's reincarnation, how can Aaron's soul still exist in Tree of Beginning? In simple words, Sir Aaron will not be present in this story because he is Ash.

Ash Betrayed (Part - 13)

Giovanni and Matori were sitting on a coach. Mr Mime was looking at them with unwelcoming eyes, much to Matori’s discomfort and Giovanni’s annoyance. Delia was in the Kitchen, resisting the urge to poison the tea.

Delia, much to her dismay and anger, she bring the tea and sits on the Adjacent sofa. Giovanni takes a cup and was about to drink it but Matori stopped him. She took the cup from him and took a slip.

“Matori that is not required-” Before Giovanni could complete the statement, he is interrupted by Matori.

“Sir, you already refused to bring security here, let me just make sure this tea is not-” Matori said before getting interrupted.

“Of Course it is not! Delia is my sister-” Giovanni said before he was interrupted by Delia.

“Nah, she is right, truth be told I really wanted to poison your tea,” Delia said as she took a slip from her cup. Giovanni just facepalmed as he heard his sister words.

“But then I thought, why should I take away my son’s right to avenge his father,” Delia said as her eyes were filled with hatred.

“Oh Arceus this again! Delia! I had nothing to in 5/11!!!!!” Giovanni said as he facepalmed. He knew it was going to be difficult, but he didn’t knew his capacity to handle things will exhaust so quickly.

“Oh yes, you will tell me and I will trust you,” Delia said in a hateful yet calm voice.

“Let me just tell you Giovanni, Your Evils days are numbered,” Delia said as Matori’s patience broke. She stood up and shouted.

“Madam! I done hearing Tauros-shit about our Boss!!!!!! Did you forgot who you called when your house almost became a warzone between your Son and his enemies!!!!!” Matori shouted in an angry voice.

“I think you have forgotten it was you and your dear Giovanni who send those en-” Delia said before getting interrupted by Giovanni.

“Delia, whoever backstab Ash were not send by my orders!!!! I had closed down the Department of Elimination of Interested Person long time ago!” Giovanni said but Delia didn’t believed him.

“Lies! You wanted to hurt my child! Just! J-J-J-Just like you did to my Husband!!!!” Delia said as she sitting on the sofa, crying. Mr Mime immediately came to comfort her.

“Sir, we should leave now,” Matori said as Giovanni nodded. He wanted to spend time with his sister, but it was clear his flesh and blood saw him as nothing but a killer. Before they left, Delia called out Giovanni.

“Listen Giovanni, if I were you, I would spend the time I have doing good deeds, because Once my son training is done, he is coming to avenge his father,” Delia warned as Matori almost lost it. The faithful secretary could knew everything about Giovanni, something to an obsessive level, and even then also she couldn’t keep a track of all the donations he made.

“LISTEN YOU-” Giovanni stopped Matori from shouting at Delia.

“Matori no!” Giovanni said, much to Matori anger.

“Sir she is saying all this about you and you expect me to be quiet!!!! When those little Bastards who betrayed her son were about to turn her house into a battle zone, it was you who she called to stop them!!!!!!!” Matori said as Delia looked away in anger. She didn’t wanted to take his help, but she the emotional and psychological situation of the event was too much for anyone to handle and she was worried Ash or anyone of his true friends would do something which all of them would regret later on. Thus, she called Giovanni to stop his supposed goon.

“It was not for free, I owe Giovanni a favour for it, or should I said I owed him a favour! You should be thankful you are going from my house alive after a cup of tea,” Delia said as Giovanni sighed. Matori wanted to give Delia a piece of her mind, But Giovanni restrained her and the two of them left.

“//If I would have made their Tea, it would have been definitely poisoned.//” Mr Mime said.

“I know Mimey, I know,” Delia said with a sighed.

Ash was focusing trying to mediate. Along him were his fellow mates, students of David. On the Sidelines stood the parents, Guardians and/or extended families of the students. For Ash, of course, was Ilene. (Pikachu was playing with Mew in Tree of Beginning)

“OK all you pieces of #₹%#, you all better manifest Aura or I will personally beat your @$$!!!!!!!!” David shouted as everyone were confused. They all have just started their journey to become Aura users, how were they supposed to manifest Aura.

“Sir, we just started,” One student said while others supported. Ash was thinking. He knew how to do it, but he had done it one time, and that also with the help of a special device. He wasn’t sure how he could manifest Aura.

“Is that so?” David said as he snapped his fingers, and suddenly all Guards present their surrounded the families of the students which, of course, included Ilene, taking all of them hostage.

“What the hell!!!!!” Ash shouted as he and other students became distress by the sight.

“It is up to you, either you manifest Aura or start looking for burial space!!!!!” David said with an evil smirk. Seeing this, some students started running towards him to hit him but he dodged them, broke their backs (Not literally but almost literally). Others, seeing the situation, started trying to apply paper based theory which they study practically. Ash, too was trying to focus to Manifest Aura, trying to remember how Sir Aaron’s Lucario did it.

Some were able to manifest slight waves of Aura before it decayed into nothing, others, were able to to manifest small spheres of Aura, but due to their unstable nature, the sphere blasted on their faces. And then there was Ash, who, with focus and calmness (Foreign concepts to season one Ash) was able to manifest A small Aura Sphere, which he, in anger, threw at David.

David, seeing the Aura Sphere charging toward him , immediately manifested an Aura sword and slice the sphere into two, which landed on opposite direction behind him, blasting the moment they made contact with ground (If you are indian, imagine Rohit Shetty movies, if your are not, see Singham 1)

“*Looks at Ash* I am impressed prince…………………………….. is what I would said if you could have done this trick at the age of 4, for now, I think it was fine,” David said as Ilene just facepalm before looking at the soldiers who took them Hostage.

“Can you see David is done?” Ilene asked.

“Yes your Majesty,” The soldier said.

“So,” Ilene said in a sweet voice.

“So your majesty,” Soldier said, lost in his queen sweet voice.

“Let me and the parents go damnit the act is over,” Ilene said as the soldiers immediately retreated before Apologising for the Act, much to the students and their families confusion.

“Wait what?” Ash asked as he was confused what was happening.

“Ash!” Ilene said as she hugged her cousin

“You did wonderful dear, just like me when I tried to manifest Aura,” Ilene said.

“Except you did it when you were 3,” David interrupted the moment, Much to Ilene’s Annoyance.

“Wait your majesty,” Ash said as he looked around, remembering to address Ilene as your majesty in public.

“What happened Ash?” Ilene asked in a extremely normal tone for someone who was just been taken hostage.

“What the fuc-” Ash said before being interrupted by Ilene

“Language Ash, what will Aunt Delia say if she found out you started cursing under my care,” Ilene said as she put her hand on Ash’s cheek.

“Ash I understand, that entire Hostage must have made you confused. Don’t worry, David has no authority to command Rotan soldiers or other Aura Users to move against me. He does these fake Hostage acts because Aura Manifestation is powered by Strong emotions *Turn to David* I can’t say I support this but this strategy has worked most of the time. Even if it is weak, the Aura manifests and more important, now you know exactly how to apply What you have been studying in Theory,” Ilene said with a sigh as she turned to see Ash eyes flooding.

“ASH!!!!!!” Ilene said as she immediately hug him.

“What happened Ash!!!!” Ilene asked with much concern.

“I-I-I-I-I-I-I don’t know, maybe seeing you become a hostage remained me of the betrayal………………………………….. I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I am sorry,” Ash said as Ilene hugged him tighter.

“Its Ok Ashy, It is ok,” Ilene said as she gave him a motherly hug (Watch out Delia, you have competition). David just sighed and left to talk to other parents and guardians.

----------------------‐--------------------------------------------------

Most Delicious appetizers of Eden, Most Beautiful Jewels of Remus, Most Strongest weapons of Amazonia and Most excellent Cattle of Nazara, accompanied with, of course, great richest. These were the Gifts from the Sinnohian clans to the Nomads, to Auren.

“I am sorry but I fail to understand what are these supposed to be?” Auren asked the Patriarchs (And Matriarch).

“Your Holiness! We Sinnohian tribes believe in the Divinity of Mother Arceus! You are her chosen one! Thus is it our honour to pledge our allegiance to you,” Patriarch Adam, who would later on be called the Loyal, said.

“I am sorry but I don’t think it is appropriate for Clan Leaders to pledge loyalty to an ordinary man,” Auren said with much scepticism.

“Ordinary Man? You are anything but Ordinary my lord! Your are Arceus’ shown man!!! You are our shepherd!!!!!” Patriarch Javid, who would later on be called the Holy, said.

“Still, Ruler pledge loyalty to someone without any political power, seem wrong to me,” Auren said.

“But your majesty,” Patriarch Adam said.

“It seems wrong to me that you haven’t taken the position of Leader of Nomads,” Patriarch Adam said, much to the shock of all the Nomads present there, including Auren.

“What are you saying Patriarch Adam? We Nomads have traditional way of governing ourselves!” Auren said in an angry voice, supported by other Nomads.

“But! My dear Nomads,” Adam said in a loud voice.

“Tell me one, thing, If, Mother Arceus has chosen someone as her chosen representative on earth! Shouldn’t he lead the way of this land? Shouldn’t he be the master of his people?” Adam said as the Nomads started whispering amongst themselves. Suddenly, a voice came in Auren’s head.

“Accept, proclaim yourself and your dynasty as the rightful ruler of the land,” The voice said in Auren head. It was the voice of his mother goddess, Arceus, who resided in Auren’s head after the battle with Henryites.

“I am not doing that!” Auren said to his mother goddess, while he respected her, recently, he started to feel, for Arceus, her devotees were pawns to be used to outsmart and defeat anyone who dare to defy her. Suddenly, a few voices came in support of Adam, much to Auren shock. Soon those few voices became too many for any voice protest to be heard.

“See my lord! My fellow Nomad brothers and sisters want you to take charge!!!!” Adam said. Auren was about protested against it, but his wife, sister of Patriarch Henry, Margaret, stopped him, pulling him to away from the assembly of people.

“Why did you pull me away beloved?” Auren asked angrily.

“To stop you from making a mistake my lord!” Margaret told to her husband in a confident tone.

“If you are telling me to crown myself King of Nomads, that is not possible my love!” Auren said.

“But My lord! Can’t you see that the position of King of Nomads, as well as Master of Adamites, Maryites, Javidites and Joelites can benefit your mission!” Said the Sister of Henry.

“My Lord, your words, your philosophy has moved my core! Has made me to convert to the Nomadic beliefs! But your words will not be enough! You need power! What are you going to go do if they turned against what you are saying! Dear, you right now have the loyalty of the Sinnohian Clans, alliance with my clan and support of majority of Nomads! Such a time will not come again my love! We have to strike the Iron while it is still hot!” Margaret said as Auren thought.

“Your wife is correct Auren! Take the position,” Arceus said in his head.

“Fine,” Auren said as his wife hugged.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“And that is how Auren became Chief of Nomads. Slowly, the words of Auren started to spread, the Sinnohian Clans easily converted to the Nomad Religion, after all, the Nomad religion titled Arceus as the Mother Goddess, Patriarch Henry also easily converted, he desired power and his love for his sister forced him to take this decision………………… Slowly, other Clans also converted, As Auren became more popular, he gain more supporters, and to capitalise on that support, the clans converted to pledge allegiance to Auren,” Ilene said as she patted Ash’s head, which was on her lap. Pikachu laid on Ash’s chest, sleeping.

“So…………………….. they all converted not because some greater goal but because political advantage,” Ash said in a disillusioned voice.

“Yeah Ash, words of Gods can affect Statesmen, but they will always go with the popular trend, even if it goes against their own believes,” Ilene said.

“Not all believed in Auren words thou, and soon, some people started protesting against Auren. This included members of Clans, normal citizens, and even some Nomads who believed Auren betrayed the Nomads,” Ilene said.

“What happened to them?” Ash asked curiously.

“They became an very important part of Rotan history…………………….. they were the first ones to call this Land ‘Rota’, to counter Auren’s effect, they formed their own syncretist religion, which put all Gods on an equal footing,” Ilene said with a sighed.

“How is that different from Auren’s words and Nomad religion?” Ash asked, geninuely confused. He knew Arceus was important for all legendary Pokemons, but he thought that was because she was like a mother to all legendries.

“Very different Ash, very different, Auren’s words and Nomads kept the fact that Arceus was the mother Goddess of all and she was the most important and strongest Legendary…………………. But the ‘Clan Reformist Movement’ believed Arceus was equal in power and status all other Legendaries…………………………… that was unacceptable to Arceus,” Ilene said with a sighed.

“The conflict between them led to the Great Rotan War, with the Nomands and Clans on one side, and the Reformist Movement and King of Kanto on the other, King of Kanto had joined the Reformist because one Henryite Prince who opposed Patriarch Henry’s conversion was married to the daughter of the Commander of the Kingdom of Kanto,” Ilene said as Ash looked at her with a confused eye.

“Wait, I read that Kanto has remained Unified only two times in its entire history, once in medieval times under Emperor Karl the Uniter, and then when the current Kantonian Republic was forged by the Kantonian Republican Army,” Ash asked, confused by the timeline. Ilene just smiled and hugged Ash tightly

“Ahh! My Baby brother is so smart!!!!!” Ilene said in a motherly tone as Ash started suffering for O2 (Just like when Delia hugs him)

“I-I-I-I-Ilene! O2!!!!” Ash said as Ilene let him go.

“Sorry Ashy,” Ilene said with a smile. She sighed as she thought about what was happening. She remember her Mother telling her how she and her younger cousin will do great things together. This was when Delia was expecting Ash and Red was alive. After Red’s death and Delia and Ash departure from Rota, Ilene became lonely. Queen Anne kept her under supervision 24/7. She never got to be a child due to constant safety measures. She rarely got to play with other children. She had expected she that with Ash birth, she will have a playmate, but that failed. But now that Ash is with her, she will not leave a chance for sibling bonding.

“Anyways, you are right Ash! You see, the Rotan Story writers don’t really follow historians. It is universally accepted that the so call ‘King of Kanto’ was probably ruler of some city-state of Northern Kanto, nothing more,” Ilene said with a sighed.

“There is also high chance they never made it to the battlefront, but Storywriters wants underdog victories so, you know,” Ilene said with a smile.

“I see,” Ash said.

“Anyways, so, the fort of the ‘Reformist Movement was actually this land, on which the City of Rota stands. This land was the witness of the final battle, of the-” Ilene suddenly stopped as became upset.

“Are you fine?” Ash asked as Ilene looked at him.

“Oh yeah, no issue, so anyways, obviously, the Clans and Nomads won, the reformists were………………………………. They fought well so to honour them, Auren established the Capital city in this land and named the city and the kingdom ‘Rota’, nothing else happened, Chief Auren became King Auren and ruled the Kingdom for 20 years, afterwards, he was succeeded by his nephew,” Ilene said as she avoided making Eye contact with Ash.

“Ilene, are you hiding something from me?” Ash asked, wanting of an honest answer.

“What? No……………………. No,” Ilene said as she got about.

“Tomorrow, I will tell you about Auren’s Successor, Auren II, he has a pretty neat ancestry,” Ilene said as she left, not making eye contact.

“Weird,” Ash said as he patted Pikachu before going to sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At 4 AM, Ash and Pikachu suddenly woke up, they felt something weird, like something was calling them, the Tree of Origin was calling them. Ash and Pikachu sneaked out of the castle and started running towards the Tree of Beginning.

“I don’t know why are we going to Tree of Beginning, do you know Pikachu?” Ash asked as he ran.

“//Nope, but I having an urge to run as far as possible!//” Pikachu said as he ran. Suddenly, the two stopped, finding the Regis blocking their path.

“Ok Pikachu, get ready!” Ash said as Pikachu took battling position.

“//Oh I was born ready!//” Pikachu said.

The Regis exchanged gazed with each other and Ash before suddenly giving way to Ash and Pikachu.

“Umm…………………. Thank you?” Ash said as he and Pikachu crossed the Regis and started running towards the core of the tree. Suddenly, in mid way, they find the one, the only! Mew!

“//Yo Pikachu, you came back so early- Oh Hey Ash! Been a long time,//” Mew said as she rotated Around Ash.

“Nice to meet you too Mew, I and Pikachu are feeling like we are being pulled by some energy, wanna help us find what is it?” Ash asked as Mew nodded.

“//Oh I know who is calling you! Follow me!//” Mew said as she gesture them to follow her. They follow her to the centre, the core of the Tree of Origin, where Lucario gave his life.

“Still remember that day at the back of my mind,” Ash said as he saw a blue figure near the Aura Crystals……………………. A humanoid figure……………………….. A figure of a Man in traditional Aura Suit.

“No……………………….. It can’t be,” Ash said as the Blue figure turned to see Ash.

“Took you long enough,”

I AM NOT DEAD!!!!!!

I truly do not understand how we're on the mental illness site and there's still people on here that unironically believe that Azula doesn't deserve redemption arc.

Azula is a 14 year old girl who was born in the middle of a war. When she was a kid, she saw her older brother's face get mutilated and then was banish all because he mildly sassed their father. She would later go on to be very reserved and only keep certain people close, these people would later go on to betray her.

Her mental health starts to deteriorate quickly and she even gets scared at the idea of being "treated like Zuko." All of this leads up to the moment when Katara finally beats her and we get this moment

Even Katara feels bad for her.

I just don't understand how anyone can watch this scene and think she doesn't deserve to be redeemed. We are not watching a villain getting their just desserts. We are watching a 14 year old girl weep and scream in agony. She's not mad that she lost, she's terrified of disappointing her father, the only person in the series who supported her (not even Iroh supported her). Even Grey DeLise (Azula's voice actress) mentioned she can't rewatch this scene because of the raw emotion she put into this (and it shows).

Azula is not evil, she's a child and a victim of war.

[krishgupt]

Now I get Azula having a lot of mental issues

But everyone, kindly consider 'The Storm' in which she smirk as her brother got half of his face burned

Even after 1000 years of constant violence, the 12 Clans continue to fight among themselves. The beaches, the lakes were red with blood, the bliss became rotten due to corpses and forest lines started to recede. This brought them in conflict with another force………………. A different force.

While the Clans controlled Villages formed 90% of the total human population in the region which would one day become the Kingdom of Rota, there were other people, who resided not in the grasslands but in Great Forests.

These were the Hunter-Gatherers Horse Riders, Nomads! Sons and daughters of men and women who rejected the notion of clans and left their villages to make a live in the forests and Jungle. These Nomads banded themselves together. While the Clan structure degraded from Elected Bodies to Hereditary inheritance, the Nomadic Society remain relatively democratic. There was no leader. It was a direct Democratic structure. Clans followed a rigid Endogamy structure, the only requirement for marriage among Nomads was love. Exogamy or Endogamy, didn’t mattered (except when it was unreasoble). The Clan society called them Nomadic Clan but the Nomads called themselves People. No social identity. Just People.

While they left their Social Identity, they remain connected with their Religious roots. In Clan Society, due to limited connection and wars, interaction between different religions rarely took place. But, in the Jungles of Rota, home of the Tree of Beginning and the Nomads, Eastern Religious Syncretism was the norm. For the Nomads, worshipping multiple deities was as norm as Rapidash and hunting food with bow and arrow.

Originally, Nomad Society and Clan Society rarely connected. For Clans, the Nomads were too inferior and insignificant to entertain. And members of Nomad society joined said Society to get away from Clan, so the will to interact was, limited.

But with deforestation by the Clan, came conflict. Originally, one of the limited interactions between Clans and Nomads was that Forests will not be cut down the Clan (In return, Nomads would not raid Clan’s food storages during years of less game).

Soon, active conflict began. First it was limited to raiding. But one attack, led by a certain Nomad by the name of Ark. A brilliant strategist, he led the attack of a Henryite Village, successfully not only raiding, but in capturing it.

The Capture of the Henryite Village, by the name of Tudoria, send shockwaves around the clans and even amongst the Nomads. The Nomads were seen as inferior, unhourable who couldn’t manage or organised themselves. The Village was taken back within an year (Ark died in the defence of Tudoria), but the fear that Nomads could actually have the power to takeover a clan village, remained. The Clans temporary stopped all conflicts amongst themselves to deal with the ‘Nomad’ Question. Keyword here being ‘Temporary because Inter-Clan Peace ended almost as soon as it started.

Among the Nomads, the view on Tudoria was mixed. Some considered it as the beginning of the end of the Clan structure and thus celebrated it. Others were sceptical. They feared the capture of a sedentary village by them would inevitably turn them into something similar to the Clan structure, They hated the idea of become similar to something which was rejected by their forefathers. One such sceptic was Ark’s Brother, Auren.

The Defeat of Tudoria created a temporary panic among the Nomads as there was a fear that the Clans would collectively attack them, but the panic went as soon as it came when Clan conflict restarted. While the Clans occupied themselves with their regulars wars, Nomads returned to their normal life, hunting, gathering (occasionally raiding the clans) and restoring forest land which was deforested.

Thou the Nomads returned to their traditional lifestyle, the differences among those who celebrated Tudoria and those who were sceptical remained. This divide was ended by one man, by Auren.

Auren was a simple man yet religious man. He was a devote of the Eastern Syncretism, especially and considered Arceus as his Personal Deity. He was a Good Archer, Orator and administrator. He was one of the Administrator of Tuderia when it was Under Nomadic control. He was also responsible for distributing all gains received from Raids and Hunt. He was also a man of High honour and was well-respected in Nomad Society. The Story of how Auren became High Chief Auren, the Founder of Rota, can be described in this little Prose

Once upon a time

Good Auren napped, for he was tired of the day’s work

He wished dreams of Green World! Of Beautiful Nature

But what he got was a vision

Good Auren saw himself above the clouds

Pure White Cloud under his feet and above him was the mighty blue sky

And In front of him stood his Diety, Mother Arceus.

Good Auren bow to his mother goddess.

He shouted with all devotion

‘Oh Great Goddess! Oh Mother of Mine! By coming to me! You have opened the part to Salvation for me and my next 5 generation!’

Arceus, impressed by his devotion, spoke

‘Oh dear, you devotion to me is rivalled only by your love for your land! I wish to give you a job which will combine these two aspects of yours!’

Hearing this, Good Auren said

‘Oh Great mother! Your word is my command! Your Word is my Command! Anything you say! Is worth more than the lives of all my reincarnation,’

‘Oh Great Son of mine! I order you clean this which you call home! I order you to clean this land of mine from which Life on this planet began! End the Bloodshed of the Clans! And make this land great again! Make this land great again!’

With the words of Arceus in his Heart

Good Auren woke up from his slumber.

Auren started to propaganda the word of Arceus, of the Goal to restore the land ro it’s former glory. While there were some voices of dissent, most, due to the high status which Auren enjoyed, believed his words and lifted their bows for Arceus. Auren sends a humble letter to the Clan nearest to them, Henryites. Auren, In his letter, described how he was chosen by Arceus to restore peace to the land and requested the Henryites to help them in this struggle. Henryites were Kantonians and worshipped Mew. Thus, asking them to join on the name of Arceus severely offended them and the Patriarch of the Henryites, Henry XII, blinded the messenger who had brought the letter, which was considered as a declaration of War.

The Armies of Henryites marched towards the Forest during a rainy day. Their Chariots were pulled by Tauros and for Artillery, they had Blastoises. They laughed as the though of slaughtering the nomads, believing their bows and arrows and rapidashes were useless in the rain. They wore Iron Armour and carried pure steel swords. Soon, the Army of Henryites reached the Edge of the Jungles, where they came face to face with the Army of the Nomads, sitting on their Rapidashes, One hand held the Bridle and the other held bow.

‘Oh Auren! What are you going to do! This rain will weaken your rapidashes’ flames and reduce the strength of your arrows! Your death is inevitable! But I am a generous man! If your people leave that hosh posh tribal religion you follow and accet Mew as your true goddess, as well as hand me that beautiful sister of your as a concubine, and allows us to take whatever we want from the Jungles, I will take my army back,’ Legends say Henry XII shouted this at Auren with a smirk, believing Auren would kneel.

He did kneel, and so his followers, but not to Henryites, but to Arceus. They prey to Arceus for help and of a sudden, help came. The rain vanished like it never came. The wet soil became dry. The hooves of the taurus were stuck to the dry soil, but that was not true for rapidashes, who stood on green grass. It was so hot that the jute bowstring, which was wet as seaweed, became dry and ready to strike. Henryites soldiers felt like they would melt inside their iron armour and their swords were almost impossible to hold. Even the Blastoises struggle with the heat.

At that moment, when the Nomads were organised and ready to strike and the Henryites were unorganised and confused, Auren’s army charged. They controlled their Rapidashes from their foots and fired arrows with a speed which would make a machine gun ashamed. When the Henryite Army attempt to retreat, they were stopped by a regiment of women riders who carried a bridle in one hand and spear in another. Of the 400 soldiers who went to fight against the Nomads, only 200 survived. And all 200 of them were taken as POW by Nomads, including Henry XII himself. The man who dreamt of making Auren’s sister as concubine, had to give his sister to Auren as a ransom for his and his man escape.

As the tale of this mysterious victory spread throughout the land, Auren’s position as communicator of Arceus’ word was established. This cause the Sinnohian clans to balance their choices. Soon, the Sinnohians Clans (Adamites, Joelites, Maryites Javidites) Patriarchs (Matriarch in Maryites) came with the entire armies to the Jungles to meet Auren

And Pledged their allegiances to him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Huh? So now the Sinnohian Clans would work Auren?” Ash asked while laying on his bed. It has been a few days since he and Ilene last talked about their Cultural Heritage. His Aura Training was, according to David, ‘Going fine but still need work if he wants to be called a true Member of the Ark Dynasty.’

“Less work with, and work for, they will have control over their own villages but they will pay a tribute to Auren as well a their armies will fight for Auren,” Ilene explained, Sitting next to Ash.

“Why would they do it? Oh did the word of Arceus about peace and love reached them?” Ash asked Optimistically.

Me: Oh you sweet summer child, if that would have been enough, Rafeh would have been a tourist centre.

“No exactly,” Ilene said as she sighed. For a 15-year-old, Ash did have a lot for optimism.

“Auren was seen as a type of ‘Prophet’, a communicator of Arceus’ word, was enough to make him an admirable figure in the eyes of Arkian (Arceus devotees) Men and Women. Thus, if the Clan Patriarchs and Matriarch could receive his support, their family’s right to rule would get divine legitimacy, thus, they desire Auren’s support,” Ilene said as Ash frown.

“Ah………………………… that seem wrong…………………… there is no way Auren accept it right? Right?” Ash asked but Ilene just sighed.

“Let’s end it here!” Ilene said with a smile as she closed the book.

“Tomorrow is an important day Ash, sleep well, Good night!” Ilene said as she left.

“What do you think Pikachu? Did Great Grand Auren accepted it?” Ash asked to Pikachu.

“//I am a Pokemon and I can’t careless about Human politics Ash, trust me this is just a very old story of really old dudes with nothing to do, don’t think too much about it//,” Pikachu said with close eyes.

“It seems you are sleep talking……………………… Goodnight to Pikachu,” Ash said as he switched off the lights and closed his eyes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ilene was walking to her private chambers when she suddenly changed her path and walked towards the Forbidden Room. The Guards, on seeing her, kneeled and open the door.

“Ensure no one comes in, how much urgent it might be!” Ilene said as she entered and close the door.

(Inside the room)

Ilene walked to the centre of the room and touch the broad, tall Stone Lectern.

“Oh Mother, I call your name! Give me Guidance!” Ilene said in a whisper. Suddenly, a bright white light came in front of Ilene. Ilene immediately kneeled. It was the Alpha and Omega! The Creator and Destructor, Arceus.

“Rise my daughter! Rise,” Arceus said as Ilene followed.

“Mother! I worried about how I am going to tell Ash about our family’s heritage! There is so much bloodshed he doesn’t know about! I am worried for him!” Ilene said as Arceus nodded.

“Don’t worry my child! Be honest! Be brave! Ash has handled tough things before! He can handle these stories as well! I know I have ordered the Arks to cause much bloodshed in my name, but those rivers of bloods are better than the oceans of bloods! Ash will initially be disgusted, angry and sad, but he will jump back, like he always does!” Arceus said as she disappeared. Ilene immediately made a face and kicked the lecturn.

“Will jump back my ass! What does it matter to you! You want your soldier, but I am the one who has promised Aunt Delia that I will take care of him!,” Ilene thought as she left the room

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delia and Mr Mime were cleaning their house. It was sometime now that the house felt this empty. She felt nice when Ash was here, his friends were here, his pokemons were here. But now, it was lonely once again.

“I miss him so much,” Delia said as Mr Mime saw the sad face of his Master and started trying to make her laugh.

“Thank you Mimey, I know you want to help,” Delia said as she patted him. Suddenly, she heard a knock of a door.

“Coming!” Delia said as he left to open the door. Mr Mime doesn’t know why, but he wasn’t feeling good about the person at the door.

“Coming!” Delia said again as she opened the door. But when see saw who was it, her face turn lost her colour and her smile left the world. Her face only had one emotion……………………. Hate.

“Usually, when a brother comes his sister’s house, the sister offers him a cup tea,” ??? said.

Who is ???! Did Auren accepted the Allegiance of the Sinnohian Clans? In the next ep!

Note: I apologize for the terrible Prose and the entire history section. I wrote it on a mobile.

Ash Betrayed (Part - 11)

David didn’t want to accept it, but he had to admit, he may have underestimated Ash. He had ordered all of new students to run for 20 KMs. He knew many of them would collapse by the 5th KM, but he hadn’t expected all of them except one to collapse by the 8th KM. The only one who didn’t collapse from exhaustion and completed the task of 20 KM within 30 Minutes was of course, Ash. 

“*Sighed* Hey Prince!” David called to Ash, who had just finished his run. 

“ Yeah sir?” Ash asked as he waved at the audience, which consisted of Delia, Ilene, Gary, Oak and of course Pikachu. 

“You seem to have a good stamina,” David asks. 

“Sure do, I mean I did travel so many regions on foot,” Ash said with a smile. 

“Don’t get so full of yourself Prince, you are dismissed for today,” David said as Ash left to be with his family. 

“Hmm, need to put more pressure on his running ability, if he has inherited the Great Red’s Aura, he should have the ability,” David thought to himself as he pulled out a small book and wrote something on it. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

“You are leaving!!!!!” Ash shouted as Delia was packing. She was about to leave for Kanto with Oak and Gary.

“Yes Ash, Harvest Season in coming close and I can’t just keep the restaurant close,” Delia said. 

“But Mom! I thought you will be staying here with me,” Ash said with a sad voice. 

“// Yeah, I thought we are finally going to have a family adventure which we were promised in Alola but couldn’t because God knows what writers were thinking, //” Pikachu said.

“*Sighed* Ash, Pikachu, I am sorry but I came with the intention you to leave you under Ilene care………………… I want to be with you but I can’t stay dear……………I-I can’t breath in the Air of Rota, which is filled with my husband’s blood……………….. everything here reminds me of him……………………… of his death. I can’t take you with me and I can’t stay here with you…………………………. Whatever I want is immaterial, I am sorry,” Delia said as she hugged Ash and Pikachu 

“*Teary eyes*” I-I will come back soon,” Ash said as he wiped off his tears.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

No person like to bid farewell to people with he knew. Same was true with Ash and Pikachu. Ash looked at the fancy clock of his fancy room while laying on his fancy bed. It was 12:30 AM Even though everything was fancy, it wasn’t like home. Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door.

“Who will come right now,” Ash thought as he opened the door to see Ilene, in simple clothing.

“Qu-I mean, Ilene? What are you doing cousin?” Ash asked as he saw her holding an album.

“I thought you would like to see some family photos…………………… Also I have to tell you something about our family heritage,” Ilene said with a sighed. She seemed a little uncomfortable.

“Come on in,” Ash said as Ilene entered the room. Both of them sat on the bed as Ilene opened the Album.

“Look at these, they are the only full family photo we have,” Ilene said as she showed a photo to Ash. The photo was so much crowded that it was near impossible to clearly make out anyone. Despite Difficulty, Ash was able to spot himself and Delia. He was also able to spot Red and a younger Ilene, thou not without failed tries. But one person he was not expecting to spot was a younger David.

“D-David? Why is he in the photo?” Ash asked.

“Well, he is part of the Ark family, he was an orphaned boy with Aura powers, so he adopted by our 4th Uncle and Aunt,” Ilene explained.

“I see…………….. God our family is big, how many people are there?” Ash asked.

“Last time I checked, I think the Ark dynasty has around 5000 members.

“5000! Good that is big, I don’t think even pallet town has 5000 people,” Ash said, imagining how big the reunions will be.

“*Smile* Now Ash, there are a few things I should tell you about our Dynasty,” Ilene said.

“Ok, I am all ears,” Ash said attentively.

“*Sighed* Let’s start with the beginning, so you know na that Rota controls 108 villages,” Ilene asked as she pulled out a map which showed the City of Rota and 108 Villages under it.

“So, around 11,000 years ago, Humans first arrived at these lands. Some came from Kanto and Johto in the south, other came from Sinnoh and Kitakami at the north, and rest, who could trace their origin back to Hoenn, came from the ocean on boats.

This land, with rich soils, cool breezes, warm shorelines, giant forests and blue lakes and streams, it was perfect for settling, cultivating, ranching, fishing. Villages soon came up. Some were fishers, other were ranchers. For some, livelihood came from farming, for others, it came via hunting. Originally, these villages communities were small groups of 10, 20 people, but as societies became complex, hierarchies started to come up, then authority.

Originally these were elected, but soon they became blood based. Each village had its own Patriarch, or matriarch in some cases. Only the family or how we call them, clan of the Patriarch or Matriarch had the right to claim the title after the previous one’s death.

As the Patriarchs and Matriarchs established themselves as the rulers of their villages they look outside the borders of their villages. Some for trade, some for alliances and some……………………………… some for wars and conquests. Soon, all Villages started fighting among themselves. Villages which won would take over the defeated ones’ lands, enslaved their people and ra-” Ilene said before stopping herself and looking at Ash.

“And what?” Ash asked curiously.

“I will tell you when you are older,” Ilene said as Ash shrugged, thinking why everyone was withholding information from him due to age.

Audience: Wonder what they did other than enslaving and taking over.

Me: *Sighed* Just look at literally any aftermath of a siege in which the citizenry wasn’t able to evacuated……………………… except you childrens, don’t do please, you are not ready to face the brutal reality of war and why War much be prevented, delayed and stopped at all cost. Anyways, back to the story

“So, things were going on like this for maybe 1000 years. After which, things when on a statement, because no one side was powerful enough to overcome another. There existed an extremely complicated web of alliances and trade and distrust. During this time, there were a total of 108 villages in the entire region. There were in total 12 clans, each controlling 108 villages.

The 12 clans are Adamites, whose capital was Eden; Javidites, whose capital was Nazara; Charlesite, whose capital was Bethleem; Johnites, whose capital was Ager Vaticanus; Joelites, whose capital was Remus; Jamesites, whose capital was Moskva; Peterites, whose capital was Magara; Henryites, whose capital was Zion; Michaelites, whose capital was Palayoor; Maryites, whose capital was Amazonia; Yonaites, whose capital was Lezpa; Jadienites, whose capital was Saki.

All 12 were equal in power, but that didn’t stop the vio-” Before Ilene could complete, a sound of grunt came from somewhere. Ash and Ilene went to the Balcony to see David practicing Swordsmanship in one of the Royal Gardens inside the Castle.

“David is practicing Swordmanship at this hour, Why?” Ash asked.

“Well, look at the moon,” Ilene said with a smile. Ash looked the Sky to see that it was a New Moon Night. With the Moon gone, Stars at the sky and the torches on the ground acted as the sources of light.

“The Adamites tract their roots from Sinnoh and their Lineage consider Darkrai as their Tutelary Deity. Aura Users gain strength from their Tutelary Deities presence and thus David never misses a Chance to train his swordsmanship during New Moon Night,” Ilene said.

“Neat!” Ash said as he shouted.

“Hey David! Mind if I join?” Ash shouted, startling David.

“What?” David asked, looking extremely confused.

“Mind if I join your practice?” Ash shouted with a smile.

“Have you ever even held a sword in your life?” David asked, partly annoyed, partly concerned.

“Nope……………………. Anyways I am coming,” Ash said as he looked at Ilene.

“Can we talk about the family stuff later on, please?” Ash asked with a pleading look. Looking at him, Ilene smiled and closed the album.

“Sure,” Ilene said as Ash smiled and ran away. She looked down at David.

“Hey David! Ensure my baby cousin doesn’t get hurt,” Ilene shouted jokingly.

“If he cut himself, I will not be held responsible,” David said with a sigh. All he wanted was a good Middle Night training session.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

In an Artificial Island lying a part of ocean which was beyond the administrative control of any region, there stood an impressive, imposing building. The Building, at its centre, had one giant letter in red. The Letter was ‘R’, which stood for the Team Rocket. The Biggest Mafia Organisation on the planet. It head, Giovanni Corleone, would usually spend his time having meetings with the heads of his Front Organisations. Whether it was Industries, Agriculture, Service, Pharma, Cinema, Media, Mining, Banking, Parks or the Businesses of Science and Intellectual Work, Team Rocket had front organisations everywhere. Law couldn’t touch them, because for them, Law was like any other Household commodity, that is, buyable.

The Revenue from these Front Organisations, as well as from his Underground Businesses, made Giovanni Bloody rich. Charles Goodshow might officially be the richest man in the Pokemon World, but in reality, it was Giovanni through and through. Charles was not even close to Giovanni’s riches.

Currently, the Richest Man on the planet was standing on a Beach on the backside of the Rocket Headquarters Building. Infront of him was a wood platform on which stood 5 well-built men. These five men are some of the oldest members of Team Rocket, but that does not matter. Team Rocket’s Foundation is its discipline and hierarchy, and undermining that Hierarchy must punished with only three thing to ensure the structure remained stable, and these 3 punishments were death, death, and of course, death!

The 5 Men were handcuffed, with a noose in front of them. A sixth man stood on the right, his face was a face of indifference, he had executed many people in his life before, and he knew there would be people to put to death in the future. An Arkian priest, a Flame Priest, a Sapphire Priest and a Bulian priest read the final prayer of the men. Seeing their death near, one of them shouted in fear.

“Sir! We have devoted our entire lives to Team Rocket! Forgive our mistakes! We were ordered by Madame Boss-” Before the soon-to-be executed man could complete his words, Giovanni interrupted him.

“Madame Boss is dead! I am the present! When I ordered that the department of ‘Elimination of Interested People’ will be closed down, why it was secretly kept opened!” Giovanni shouted in anger.

“Sir! If we would have known that that Ash was Lady Delia-” Before another one of the men could complete, Giovanni interrupted.

“You are not getting the point, it is not just because the personal sabotage and attacks on Ash that angered me! It is that you undermine my authority! When I said people on the ‘List of Interested People’ are to be only spied, not attacked or eliminated, you didn’t listen! I don’t care what my mother said about keeping the department open at all cost! I wanted it closed! But you 5 kept it open! And now you shall face the punishment!” Giovanni said as he turned around and Matori signed the executioner. With a pull of a single lever, all 5’s vision went dark.

“Sir!” Matori said as she brought 10 papers to Giovanni. 5 were checks with insane figures, the rest were Letters of Job Acceptance. Giovanni immediately signed the papers. A check which would last a family 5 for 3 years, as well as a good paying job, based on the person’s ability. This was the policy of Team Rocket! Policy of Mutual Loyalty! An Average Rocket grunt made more than your average doctor teacher. Not only that, Members of the Organisation knew that if something was to happened to them during their live as member, their families will be taken care of by the Organisation. Their families will be given insane amounts, as well as at least one member of their family will be given a job in one of the many Front Organisations of Team Rocket. This not only ensure them that their families will be save, but also the relief that their children will not have to take the same path as them. Because of this, Team Rockets members were extremely loyal. For them, Giovanni was their Arceus, their God!

“Send them immediately, along with the bodies,” Giovanni said with a sighed as he looked at the hanging bodies.

“Any report on who were the ones who sabotage Ash’s Journey?” Giovanni asked.

“No sir, sadly when we raided their hideout, the security protocol deleted everything.

“*Sighed* Very well, tell our technical team to carry on the search,” Giovanni said as Petrel came to him with a paper.

“Gio! Here are the papers you requested,” Petrel said as Giovanni signed the papers. Matori peeped a little at the papers. They were Donation papers. If She knew anything about Giovanni, she could have been sure the Donations wouldn’t be less than 200 Billion.

Charles Goodshow might be officially the Biggest Donor, but in reality, his total donations wouldn’t be even close to the levels of Donations Giovanni would do in a month.

“Thank you, Petrel,” Giovanni said as Petrel left.

“Is the Helicopter ready?” Giovanni asked Matori.

“Are you sure you want to do this Sir? She might not-” Before Matori could complete the sentence, Giovanni put a hand on her shoulder.

“I know what is to come, but it has been more than 15 years since I have seen my sister. I will not wait any longer!” Giovanni said as Matori blushed.

On the sideline, one grunt whispered something to another Grunt.

“I don’t get what exactly is the relationship between Boss and Lady Delia? Wasn’t Boss the one who ordered the 5/11 Attack?” The Grunt whispered lightly but not light enough to escape Giovanni’s ears.

“Who said that?” Giovanni said.

“Who said I ordered the 5/11 attacked? Who dare implied that I made my sister a widow!!!!!” Giovanni shouted before Matori was able to calm him down.

“I-I didn’t ordered attack! This is a statement to everyone hear! Team Rocket had nothing to do in that attack,” Giovanni said as he and Matori left for the Helicopter.

What do you think? Is Giovanni lying or telling the truth?

Ash Betrayed (Part - 10)

The Tree of Beginning! For Centuries it has signal to travellers that their journey to Rota is in its final moments, and that they will soon be able to put it to rest. Even in modern times with digital maps and all, the Tree of Beginning continues to play that role. Give travellers the strength to make a final push to reach Rota.

Currently, it was giving the same strength to Ash, who was on bus going to the oldest Kingdom, not only in northern Kanto, but in the entire Eastern Region. The Kingdom of Rota has been never seen a revolution, nor a Military overtake. It has never been conquered. Except the War between the two clans, The Kingdom of Rota has been at Peace. The Dynasty, established by the Founder of Rota, High Chief Auren, the Ark Dynasty, to this day rules the Throne of Rota, making it the longest ruling Dynasty in the World.

Whether it is the Conquest of Warmonger Emperor Karl, or War of Religion of Hoenn, or bravery  of the 500 Sinnoh Guards in Sacking of Hearthome, or the violent Socialist Revolutions of Kalos or Paldea, or the treacherous Familicide committed by the various kings and princes of Galar, or the Military Coup d’etat done by the Johtonian Military Against the beloved Emperor John XX, better known as John the Martyr, or the War of Independence of Unova, or the ethnic wars of Alola, Rota had seen it all, and even after all that, it stood, firmly and proudly.

The moment the Bus entered the city, it was overtaken by the Rotan Royal Guard, who immediately escorted Ash, Delia, Pikachu and the two men they have brought with them, Oak and Gary.

Professor Oak knew about Delia’s reality for a long time. She had confessed to him everything in her second year in Kanto. As for Gary, he was still not sure what was exactly happening, but he was there regardless to support Ash and Delia.

The Guards immediately escorted the the four of them to Royal Castle, where, after multiple years of separation, Delia would finally meet her favorite niece again.

“Her Majesty will be here shortly Princess Delia and Young Master Ash!!!!!” The Guard said as he left the four of them in a regal room.

“Wait, why did he call Aunt Delia Princess? Wasn’t she the daughter of Madame Boss?” Gary asked, still confused as to who is related to who.

“Red was the Prince of Rota and as his wife, she would be a Princess,” Oak explained. While the Grandfather Grandson duo were talking, Ash, Pikachu (Who sat on Ash’s shoulder) and Delia were in the balcony, looking at the Tree of Beginning.

“It has been ages since I saw this Tree,” Delia said as she wiped her tears, this entire place was filling her mind with Red’s Memories. Suddenly, she clapped and one of the Guards entered.

“Yes your Highness!” The Guard asked.

“Take me to the Memorial of Queen Anne, and then-” Delia wiped her tears.

“Then to Red’s Memorial,” Delia said as Ash held her hand.

“I am coming with you,” Ash said.

“//Hell Yeah, I am not letting you go alone,//” Pikachu said.

“No Ash, you have to be there, Ilene is coming,” Delia said as she was about to leave.

“Her Majesty will be here shortly your Highness, I request you t-” Before The Guard could complete the sentence, Delia interrupted him.

“I know what I am doing sir,” Delia said as she left and the Guard Followed.

After half an hour, a soldier entered the room and shouted

“Now Comes! By The Grace of Mother Arceus! Queen of Rota, Seer of Word of the Goddess, Supreme Commander of Rotan Armed Forces, Chief Bureaucrat of Rota, The Most Righteous and Just Judicial! The Most Reasoned Law Maker! Queen Ilene Irving the V, daughter of Late Queen Anne the VII, Descendent of Arceus!” The Soldier said as he left and Ilene entered.

“//That’s a lot of #$^#^#& titles and I don’t understand or care for any of them,//” Pikachu said as Oak immediately bowed (And forced Gary to do the same). Ash also bowed but was stopped by Ilene.

“Please Ash, we are cousin, it is not required,” Ilene said as she stopped Ash from bowing. She looked at Ash for a second before hugging him, much to Ash’s surprise.

“Ummm? Queen Ilene?” Ash asked, confused by the sudden.

“I-I am sorry,” Queen Ilene break the hug.

“It is just………….. It is nice to have my baby cousin back in Rota after he left so many years ago,” Ilene said with a smile.

“I came here few years ago,” Ash said with a smile.

“Back then I didn’t knew you were my cousin.” Ilene said as she looked around.

“Where is Aunty Delia?” Ilene asked.

“She is-” Before Ash could complete, she stopped him.

“Let me guess, Mom and Uncle Red’s Memorial?” Ilene asked and Ash nodded.

“I thought so……………………. Anyways, Ash, I am really happy to have you here,” Ilene said with a smile.

“I am grateful too Quee-” Before Ash could complete, he was again interrupted by Ilene.

“Just Ilene, at least in private,” Ilene said as nodded.

“If all the formalities are done, can we get to the main point,” a voice came as everyone turned their head to see a man in proper Aura Guardian clothing

Audience: *Gasp* IT IS RILEY-

Me: No it is an OC. Here is a concept art I stole from the internet

“*Sighed* Ash, this is the current Aura Captain of Rota, his name is David Adamson, and he will be your Aura Trainer,” Ilene said as Ash Bowed.

“It is nice meeting you Sir and I am honoured to be your pupil,” Ash said respectfully.

“It is not a nice meeting Prince, also truth be told, you don’t have it in you,” David said as Ash gave a ‘Seriously my dude’ look.

“I think you are underestimating Ash-” Before Professor Oak could complete his sentence, David interrupted him.

“Sir, pardon me for interrupting you. I know you are extremely knowledgeable about Pokemon, but Aura is completely different from anything you have ever seen, so please don’t say I am underestimating anyone, I can see someone’s Aura Capabilities and I know he doesn’t have it,” David said.

“David, if I am not wrong-” Before she could complete, David stopped her.

“Your Majesty, back when I said he has extraordinary Aura capabilities, I meant it as extraordinary compare to the non-Aura Folk, back when I didn’t knew he son of Late Great Red Ketchum! For a Member of the Rota Royal Family, his Aura capabilities are non-existing,” David said in a matter-of-fact voice.

“*Angry Sighed* Well, it doesn’t matter, I am the queen and I order you to train my Cousin,” Ilene said in an angry voice.

“As you say your Majesty,” David said as he looked at Ash.

“Don’t expect any special treatment, actually, don’t expect any treatment Prince,” David said as he left.

“I wasn’t expecting Any,” Ash said but David left before he could complete.

“What an a$$,” Gary said.

“Language Gary,” Oak said.

“//Nah Oak, Gary is right, he is #%#%@$& Ass,//” Pikachu said.

“He is…………….. difficult, I am sorry Ash but he is the best Aura Trainer you can find, thus I made him your Aura Teacher,” Ilene said.

“It is ok Quee- I meant Ilene,” Ash said.

“Anyways, Let go find Aunt Delia, and Professor Oak, I know it is a bit out of nowhere but I was wondering if you could give a guest lecture in Rotan Royal Academy? We were going to formally ask you but I thought since you are here, I might as well as you,” Ilene requested as Ash nodded.

“Sure thing your Majesty,” Oak said.

Delia was standing Infront of Queen Anne’s Memorial. It was square Platform, 4 ft x 4ft x 4ft in size. On Top of the platform laid the Royal Cape of Anne. And on top of the cape were white flowers.

On a Stone Sign near the Platform, it read -:-

Queen Anne Irving VII the Ruralist. Devoted Her Life for the betterment of all 108 Villages of Rota. She enforced Legal Support Price for Agricultural and Pokemon Husbandry Products to ensure every Farmer and Rancher had a basic livable income.

A True Royalist, she reversed almost all the reform brought about her Uncle, King Henry Irving IX the Failed Idealist, most crucial of the included was the restoration of ‘Heil dir im Siegerkranz’ as the Imperial Authem of Rota, as well as bring the office of PM back under Imperial Authority.

She was the Loving Wife of Prime Minister and Commnder-In-Chief of the Army, his excellency Sir William Ark, who passed before her. She was the Dear Mother of Queen Illene Irving V. She was the wonderful daughter of Queen Jassica Irving X the Warrior, who passed before her. She was the wonderful daughter of Patriarch Adam XXX of the Adamite Clan, who passed before her. She was the loyal niece of King Henry Irving IX, who passed before her. She was the 114th Monarch of Rota and 96th Queen of Rota.

The Most Reasoned Law Maker! Queen Anne Irving VII, daughter of Late Queen Jassica Irving X, Descendant of Arceus.

Now Rest In Peace.

Delia kneeled and pressed her forehead again the memorial, which laid on top of the buried ashes of Anne.

“You were right, like always,” Delia said as she bought some flowers from the flower shop nearby and put them on Anne’s cape.

“May you Rest In Peace Annie,” Delia said as she shed a tear.

Delia then walked to a Memorial nearby Anne’s. It was the Memorial of her Husband, Prince Red Ketchum, Aura Captain of Rota. Similar to Queen’s Anne, it was a 4x4x4 platform which was built on top of the Red’s buried Ashes. All the medals Red ever won in his military career, ranging from Foreign honours to Domestic Medals of bravery, all were attached to the top of the Platform. Delia, seeing the memorial, started tearing up. Standing infront of the Memorial, she immediately collapsed on the ground and started crying and hitting the top the platform.

“We had a deal damnit! We had a deal!!! I told you I wanted to go first! I was supposed to go first!!! Why did you cheated! Why did you leave before me!!!!,” Delia cried as she hit the platform. Suddenly, she felt a hand on shoulder. She turned to see it was none other than Ilene.

“Ilene?” Delia asked.

“Been a long time Aunty,” Ilene said with a smile as Delia hugged her.

“Aunty it is ok, calm down,” Ilene said, trying to calm Delia.

“I-I-I don’t…………………………… I miss him so much,” Delia said as she continued to cry. While these two were having there Aunt-Niece bonding moment; Ash, Oak and Gary were standing infront Red Memorial. Ash had no words to speak of……………………… He knew nothing about his dad a few days ago and now he was standing in front o his Memorial. All of this was a little overwhelming. Ash looked at the Stone Signed next to the Platform which briefed about Red’s Life. It read :-

Prince Red Ketchum, Aura Captain of Rota, devoted his life to Rota and the Aura Foundation. He worked Tirelessly along with former Aura Foundation President Juan of Hoenn and current President Tobias of Sinnoh in expanding the Borders of the Aura Foundation. In his tenure of 10 years, the number of Aura Centres went from 79, main concentrated in the Eastern Regions of Kanto and Sinnoh, to over 50000, spread almost evening around the world. Under him, the Aura Foundation started a more active attempt to restore Historical texts regarding the Concept of Aura.

Prince Red Ketchum, Aura Captain of Aura, was a natural in Pokemon Battles, and is one of the Effectum Champions of Kanto. While a brilliant Marksman, Swordsman, Trainer and Military Strategist, he was most well known for Diplomatic and Peace Making.

Other Important International Agreements involved Treaty of Hearthome, which set commitments for each nation to become net zero, Treaty of Mauville, which set a common commitment to share all valuable and essential Medical information and Technology between all regions to ensure no person died of a curable issue due to geopolitical complications.

He died in the 5/11 attack. Thou he himself did not survived; he was successful in evacuating most of the castle. According most sources, he had multiple chances to escape himself, but he left them all and instead focused on saving others. If not for him, the causalities in the 5/11 attack would have been much, much higher.

He was the loving Husband Princess Delia of Kanto. He was the dear father of Young Master Ash Ketchum. He was the wonderful son of Prince Karl, Captain of Royal Rotan Cavalry, who passed before him. He was the wonderful son of Cass, Daughter of Patriarch Javid XXIX of the Javidite Clan, who passed before him. He was the Loyal First Cousin of Queen Anne Irving VII.

Now Rest In Peace

Ash sighed as he read the entire thing. He knows all this is only a fraction of what his father did. Ilene told him that a lot the actual activities of Aura Foundation and the Rotan Monarchs never see the light of the public eye. Suddenly, he feels a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Oak.

“Are you alright?” Oak asked.

“It…………………… It is a lot,” Ash said honestly.

“I know Ash, I know………………….. but you need to be strong for her, for Delia,” Oak said as Ash nodded.

“Here you are Prince,” Ash heard as he sighed and turned to see David.

“Hello David,” Ash said.

“From Sir to David this fast, you will not last a week under my tutorage, regardless, class will start within 10 minutes, either you will there before the class start or find some other Aura Guru,” David as he left.

“I actually #%#^%&^ hate him,” Ash said.

“Gary you gave Ash your swearing habit,” Oak said with a facepalmed.

“//Nah, maybe it is because of me,//” Pikachu said, knowing no one can understand him and he can’t be blamed.

Will Ash Suffer under David’s Tutorage? Will Ash become an Aura Guardian? What do any of the Latin titles I put exactly? Will Pikachu be punished for misbehavior? In the next episode
