The next morning/POV: Ashlie
I woke up and saw Serena on the balcony crying, so I went to see what was wrong.
"Hey, you okay Serena?" I asked, "You seem upset..." She looked at me and sighed.
"It's just...I loved your male self Ash..." Serena cried, "I really loved him..."
"Hey, he's still apart of me!" I exclaimed, "I'm just, not really my selves anymore...I know how it feels to be heartbroken Serena, I dealt with it, a lot!" I sat next to her in the spare chair next to her.
"I mean, she's not wrong!" Chuster exclaimed, but I reminded him she can't hear him, "Oh, whoops!"
"You still mean a lot to me Ash, or Ashlie..." Serena sighed, "I don't know if I can forgive myself for letting them make me do that..."
"Hey, you kept my three Kalos Pokemon who were forced, so that's a sign to show you care!" I exclaimed, "Besides, I'm still Ash, I just lost the ability to love other girls..."
(OUCH! SEE?! ASH IS STILL BAD AT WORD CHOICE!)
"You're not helping Ashlie!" We heard Goomba groan, "It really doesn't help!"
"You're not helping either Goomba..." I sighed, "Anyways, why are you up?"
"I heard the sobbing of the honey blonde!" He groaned, and I facepalmed, "Okay, bad choice of words, anyways, the others left to have the Kanto Champion and Reborn Champion battle at Indigo Plateau. Aurora asked me to watch you two while they were gone, so, you two are stuck with me! So, what do you want to do?"
"Well, first, I want to know what happened with the epic explosion!" I stated, and he sighed and told us the story.
So, as it turns out, the MissingNo took control of my old male self, and killed both my families with a blade, while Chuster's old selves and my old female self were spared by Gladion pushing them off the platform. They met Goomba who helped them, Goh, and Chloe to try and save Ash. However, the rest of the world, minus Goomba's friends, had framed me for doing it. And he killed all of my former friends, Goomba's friends, all of Goomba's Pokemon except Rai and Spiky, and the Legendary Pokemon! They eventually trapped MissingNo, and entered Ash's mind, and there, they had to deal with visions of mirror worlds that never happened that he and the rest of the gang saw in their nightmares. Goomba, Lillie, Pikachu, and Snowy had to turn the Ash in those nightmares to dust by reducing his HP to Zero each time, after 8 times, they managed to wake Ash up, but when he woke up, Lillie could barely stand, and Ash was confused a lot because his memories of the dreams were erased when he turned to dust, so Goomba told my old male self what happened, and he was devastated, and hugged Lillie.
"Two days after the tragedy ended, Ash was still grieving, and he kept blaming himself, and Lillie, Pikachu, and Snowy were just wishing they could not have Ash like this." Goomba stated, "With the little magic left in Celebi's soul, which is somehow still there even after death, I made a SAVE Point appear, so I could RESET and prevent the whole situation together, by stopping Team Rocket from kidnapping Ash. What I did NOT know was that some people were losing hope in Ash. And then, we know the betrayal happened..." We all looked down in sorrow.
"So, I guess that now with MissingNo gone, this is final..." I sighed, and he nodded, the pulled out a yellow star thing, "Huh?"
"To make sure no one else RESETS, me, Chara, Asriel, Frisk, and Jessica all decided to destroy the SAVE POINT once and for all!" He grunted, "It's a flawed plan, but MissingNo only came into reality when the first RESET was made, and every RESET made MissingNo stronger, even just CONTINUES did the same thing! So, we decided to destroy the SAVE POINT once and for all!" He sent it up, and blasted it with three Aura Spheres, and it was shattered to a million pieces!
"So, I'm glad this is final..." I sighed, "Well, guess the rest of our lives are ahead of us! What to do now?"
"How about we go shopping?" Serena suggested, "I think you could use more clothes to fit your personality!"
"That's a good idea!" I exclaimed, "It's been a while since I got new clothes!"
"Yeah!" Goomba stated, "I think Professor Oak and Gary will be willing to give us a ride to Vermilion City, and maybe we can have Chloe and Goh join us!"
"YAY!" I squealed.
On the ride to Vermilion City/ POV: Serena
"So, you can use Aura to give yourself a disguise?" I asked, and Ashlie nodded, then glowed for a few seconds.
"Hey Serena, you like it?" Ashlie giggled, and I was shocked, "Um, is it too confusing for you?"
"Yeah..." I sighed, "Sorry..."
"It's fine!" She giggled.
Later/POV: Goomba
We made it to Vermilion City, and Serena seems to be doing well!
"So, um, how did the Hoenn Contests go Serena?" Ashlie asked Serena, who said it went well.
"Okay, I'll let you girls go shopping for a bit!" I stated, "I'm going to see if I can battle some people!"
"Okay Goomba!" The two girls giggled, then they rushed off into a clothes store, I sighed and left to the newly built training gym.
POV: Ashlie
We were walking around the shop, and we saw Max and Bonnie hanging out, oh no...
"Why them..." Chuster sighed.
"Well if it isn't Serena!" Bonnie exclaimed, "What's up?"
"Um, nothing much..." Serena sighed, "Just trying to get over something..."
"Oh, this is, um, Ashlie?" Serena stated, "She's new to Kanto!"
"Oh, I see!" Bonnie stated, "She's cute!" Ashlie blushed.
"T-thanks..." I sighed, "Um, I should introduce myself, I-I'm A-Ashlie, and this is C-Chuster!"
"Nice name!" Max stated, "I'm Max, and this is Bonnie!"
"Nice to m-meet you..." I sighed, "Well, um, we're here to get some clothes!"
"Okay, you want to come?" Bonnie stated, I looked in her heart and Max's, and turns out they were forced as well?! How many people have flipping forced the others?!
"So um, I feel like you look upset, can you tell me what's wrong?" I asked, and Max sighed.
"We were forced to betray our best friend, Ash Ketchum!" Bonnie sighed, "Me, Misty, Ash's Squirtle, Ash's Lycanroc, and Ash's Snorlax were all forced to kill him..."
"Wait, you guys too?" I gasped, and they seemed confused, "Guys, I'M Ash!"
"W-wait, ASH?!" They gasped, "Ash, what happened?!"
"Well, my souls got fused together!" I groaned, "Anyways, I may not be my male self, but it's still Ash and Lillie!"
"Oh man, Ash..." Max gasped, and he hugged me, "I'm so sorry you suffered that..."
"It's no big deal!" I sighed, "Now, I guess I can give you guys a second chance, but don't waste it!" They nodded.
"We won't...so, what should we call you now?" Bonnie asked.
"Like I said, call me Ashlie, because it's my two former names combined." I stated, "Is that okay?" They nodded, and we headed to get something to eat!
Meanwhile at Indigo Plateau/ POV: Dusk
I'm going to battle Aurora for the first time, I'm gonna get wrecked, she managed to draw with Leon's Charizard with her own!
"This battle will be three on three!" The Rotom Drone shouted, "Substitutions are allowed! The battle is over when either side's three Pokemon are unable to continue!" I need to be careful here, Aurora is currently 3rd Place, and the winner will be in 2nd!
"Okay, Mega Man!" I shouted, sending out my Noivern.
"Mimey!" Aurora shouted, "I choose you!"
"Hurricane!" I ordered, but Mimey dodged, "Shoot!"
"Use Focus Punch!" Aurora shouted, and it dealt a lot of damage.
"Again, we can do this!" I shouted, and this time, it hit, and confused Mimey, "Alright!"
"Use Dazzling Gleam!" Aurora shouted, Mega Man dodged it, but Mimey managed to deal damage by slamming Mega Man to the ground.
"Alright, use Dragon Pulse!" I shouted, and I think Aurora was shocked when the Dragon Pulse made a giant dust cloud, "Now, use that dust and use Hurricane!" Not only did our Hurricane do damage, but it also should be harder to see because it acts like Sand Attack as well.
"Okay, Mimey, return for now!" Aurora exclaimed, and I was confused, "I'll let you get back into the fight later, just rest up for now Mimey..."
Mega Man, can you go on?" I asked, and Mega Man nodded.
"I'm not done yet!" Mega Man exclaimed, and I smirked.
"Okay, I'm staying in!" I shouted, "Who's next?" She looked at the Pokeball in her hand, and since most of her Pokemon are in either Great, Ultra, or Heal Balls, I knew who this was.
"Charla, come out my faithful partner!" Aurora shouted. (Don't be mad if I got this wrong!)
"Okay, let's keep our guard up!" I sighed, "We know what they're capable of!"
Meanwhile, in the void/POV: ???
Man, the Reborn Champion has gotten stronger these days...huh...even after Giratina told me he was in a coma for a few weeks, he's still super strong...I may be the only Reborn Gym Leader that isn't in the World Coronation Series, but still, I have my own perks...
(Gee, I wonder who the heck this is...)
"You know what? F*** this s*** I'm out!" I grunted.
"You're ruder that Asgore, and Flowey when his SOUL was still missing Shade!" Gaster sighed, "Even after gaining your respect, you still act like this!"
"I mean, he has a point, plus, you get to LEAVE the void by will!" Giratina exclaimed, "Gaster on the other hand, only gets to leave exactly 14 days a year!" (Reverse Quarantine Cliche)
"Yeah yeah, I get it!" I groaned, "Geez!" I decided to leave then.
Back in the Kanto Region/POV: Aurora
"Mega Evolve!" I shouted.
TO BE CONTINUED...
