Once Gladion and Lillie are back at their living place of the camp, the traitors rush inside with furious face. They grab Lillie by her clothes and Misty yells, "How dare you say that to the others, now they hate us because of your actions."

"Then you shouldn't do that in the first place." Lillie says with a smirk. "My mother is already dead, what are you going to threaten me of? I have nothing to given you threaten."

The others also rush in as they hear the commotion going on. Sycamore says, "Put Lillie down. Right now it doesn't matter what did you do to Ash and the others, right now we are in the same boat and we have to live through this nightmare."

Kukui says, "I agree. You don't want to add more crime for killing Lillie, right?"

The traitors can only grit their teeth as they let go of Lillie. Alain says, "I can't believe it...all of it happened is because what they did to Ash."

Lillie says, "Ash is the chosen one, which is why he is kind a Legendary Magnet."

Gladion says, "Ash is also one of the kind. And from what happened to him, it will be without a doubt that he might join Team Alpha, but that is if he is alive."

Tierno turns to Shauna, he asks, "What do you think about it?"

Shauna says, "I am now worried about Serena more...it is true that she did a mistake of cheating on Ash...but she didn't want to do this, she was hypnotized, that was what Lillie said, right?"

Sawyer says, "Yeah. But let's think about it, if Ash is what Gladion said like that, then I doubt that he will forgive Serena of what she had done."

"And how do you know about that?" Tierno asks.

Lillie says, "I had read a lot of books, and I find that a lot of break ups are because of what they saw, whether the reason it is. Because it carved into its heart and there is no way to forget about it unless he wants to."

The others are sighing and Trevor says, "Love sure is confusing."

Once everyone is now asleep, Lillie walks out of the room as she walks out of the camp, but Gladion follows her and he asks, "I was thinking about what you said to me back then. You really are a part of Team Alpha and Ash is a part of it, right?"

Lillie says, "It is true. I am a part of Team Alpha. Ash came to my house and told me everything, because with the help of Celebi, he knew that I was forced to betray him."

"But why did you even do that in the first place?" Gladion asks, Lillie frowns and says, "Because of Mother."

"Mother?" Gladion is surprised, as he knew that their mother was perished from an accident. Lillie says, "Yeah, Mother was gone because of the Ultra Beast attack, according to Wicke, it was a lab error. But that isn't true, only I know the true reason."

"What do you mean?" Gladion asks.

Lillie gave a weak smile and then she starts to cry, "She could have saved herself, but she stayed there, I shouldn't tell her about what they threatened me. She blames herself for being a burden for me and you. She thinks that it is better that she is gone to end our suffer...but that is doing the opposite."

Gladion gasps as he kneels down on the floor. "Not only dad...but mom as well...why didn't you tell me about this?"

"How could I do it? What if you were like Mother?" Lillie says. "Ash learned the truth, and I realized that it was just like what he said, humans aren't to be trusted anymore. I agree to join them, but I volunteer to be as a spy for them."

Gladion then says, "So you must know where Ash is, right? Are you going to tell him about what happened?"

"I am going to tell him about that, but that isn't going to change a thing." Lillie says as she takes out the phone.

At the other side of the Johto Region, Ash ends the call from Lillie and he turns to his siblings, "According to our spy, it seems like the others learned the truth of those traitors and my past."

"What are you going to do about it?" Insey asks.

"Well, now they were in a conflict. It will be easier to break them apart." Mark says. "Lillie is sure doing a great job."

Ash nods and he stands up from his seat, as he is going to the door, Minami asks, "So are you going to Serena again?"

Ash says, "I am." And then he leaves. Once he arrives at the room, he opens it and sees that Serena turns away from him, Ash wanted to feel pity for her, but he can't.

Ash looks at his diary and says, "Judging by the way my diary is, I assume that you've read it. Right?"

Serena turns a little and says, "What if I did? What are you going to do about it?"

Ash says, "I don't mind if you read it, I want you to read it after all. Now that you know my past, do you think I would let you go back to be hypnotized again? Do you think I would send you back to them so that you can stop me?"

Ash raises his hand and says, "As you can see, I have all the Legendary Pokemon by my side and I could kill them whenever I want."

"You are not the Ash I knew...you are a monster..." Serena mutters. Ash says, "Yes, I am a Monster, but that doesn't mean you aren't a monster as well. A heartless monster who cheat on people."

Ash turns to a vase and says, "Just like this beautiful rose, if you just look at it, it is beautiful, but if you touch it, you may have injured from the thorns. And what you did is no different from it. You are beautiful, but you still inflict me pain."

"Just stop talking." Serena tries to cover her ears, but Ash just forcefully grabs her hand. "Why are you torturing me?" Serena yells at him with tears in her eyes. "I didn't mean to say those words...You just said so yourself. I was being hypnotized!"

"And why should I care about that? It is your fault that you are hypnotized." This causes Serena to gasp, "How can you say that..."

Ash just turns around and says, "Have you ever thought about it, what if Miette and I kissed each other in front of you? How are you going to feel after witnessing that? Will you just think that I was controlled or will you think that I really cheat on you?"

"I..." Serena doesn't know how to answer, she starts to imagine Ash's words.

Ash says, "Exactly. All you care is what you saw, you don't care about the reason behind it. I was just doing the same of what you would do. Though it will never happen, I don't even like Miette after all."

Serena ponders his words and she knows what Ash is feeling, she says, "I am really sorry..."

"It is too late. I am now walking in a dark path, and no one is going to stop me. But I have a proposal for you." He opens his arms and says, "Join Team Alpha, and I will consider keeping you alive."

"I will not join in a killer group." Serena spats. Ash shrugs and says, "I know that it was your reaction. After all, some of my siblings hated you for doing that to me after all, they want to kill you for what you did to me, but I am not as heartless as them."

He turns around and faces her, he says, "But I am warning you, I had a spy in your so called camp, when she thinks that it is time, she will call me and my friends, then we will destroy them and there won't be any survivors."

"You are going to kill even Paul, Alain, Trip or other else? They didn't do anything wrong." Serena yells. "They didn't take your Pokemon, they didn't kill Pikachu, and they didn't even burn down your house and leave you to nothing. Why can't you just punish those guys only and leave the others out of it?"

"Don't make me laugh, all the people are guilty, let me ask you, do you think that being a Champion of the region is a good thing? They have to help out everyone in the region and even listen to the needs of everyone else. Just like being a god, do you think that I could be what people of dreaming of? Getting everything I want?"

Serena doesn't know how to answer as Ash says, "No, I had to watch every sin of people and it hurt, but I won't perish, which means I am going to suffer by watching it. Humans are selfish beings, I believed in myself that not all humans are bad. But what would that lead me? My mother of my mortal self being killed, my Pokemon being stolen and abused, some of them even died, just like Pikachu..."

He then turns around and faces Serena again, and this time Serena is watching Ash. "If you still have the love for me, then give up this meaningless struggle."

"You said to me, Don't give up until it is over, and you want me to give up now?" Serena asks.

"I did say that. But in the end, it can only fuel ones heart, it isn't a weapon and it won't be working in such dire situations." Ash says. "Now I am going to lock you up again, if you change your mind, then feel free to tell me." And then he leaves the room.

At the same time, Insey is inside Gary's room, with the help of Dialga, she showed Gary all the truth and Gary can't believe in his eyes. Insey says, "You see, you refused to join us, but that is all pointless. All they care is greed, and you can't deny it."

Gary clicks his tongue and she says, "But we are different, we really care about you. We aren't blinded by them."

Insey sits besides him and says, "I had been looking after you ever since we were little."

"Little? Do we know each other?" Gary asks.

"Just as I thought." Insey frowns, "After all, no one would ever want to get near the Bug Witch."

"Bug witch...wait, you don't mean that you were that Insey?" Gary asks in shock.

"Now you remembered." Insey smiles at him. "As you can see, I didn't have any powers, all were lies made by Professor Oak. Just because I am Ash's sister."

"But why?" Gary asks.

"As you can see, your grandfather has been fearing our family, and he wanted to get rid of us. And it is the reason why you didn't remember all 5 of us except of Ash."

Gary frowns a little and then he remembers everything. He is mad at himself of being lied to. Insey says, "But don't worry, I am not going to blame you because of what your father did. All I ask is to join us. You won't have to suffer if you join us."

Gary thinks for a while and then he sighs, he gives her a determined look and says, "I'll join."

And here is another new chapter. Gary has given in to the group, but Serena is still struggling, when will she stop struggling and what will happen next?
