When everyone is having the Gym battle right now, the traitors decide to head to the Greeny Garden for a mood change. But they are not the only ones in the garden. Golly is also in the garden as she is enjoying the view.

"Dahlia Flowers..." Golly smells the flowers and says, "A flower for wealth, elegance, and love...why do you have to leave us alone...Mom...I miss you..."

Just then, she hears a voice from the staff members, "It's a crime! Someone just picked the flowers from this garden!"

Golly stops mourning as she rushes to the scene, she finds several staff members grabbing Trip's hand, who is holding a bouquet of flowers that he picked. "Destruction of property...this is a crime! I'm going to turn you to the police."

"But sir, I had a good reason to do what I did." Trip yells.

"Really? What is it?" The staff member asks.

"It was too beautiful not to be used as a gift..." Trip looks at the bouquet, but that doesn't seem to help as the staff still tries to drag him to the police station.

"This is bad..." Serena gasps a little. "He's about to get arrested..."

"Why did he pick those flowers in the first place?" Iris mutters to Dawn, who says, "What do you think? He wants to impress Princess Aurora. Hoping she'd go on a date with him. The bouquets here are expensive in the flower shops."

"Please wait for a second." The staff turns to see Golly and bow.

"Ah...Princess Golly. Just look at what this man tries to do, he tries to ruin your family garden." The staff member says while showing the whole thing.

"Oh, my goodness..." Golly gasps with horror.

"It appears things got from bad to worse..." Serena mutters. "The Champion's sister has arrived and the garden was also a property to the Satoshi family in Sevestar..."

"How could you?" Golly cries to Trip. "Leaving so many flowers to waste. You were the one who promised to use up all the flowers."

This causes confusion to the staff and the traitors, as Golly manages to pick some flowers and help Trip make new beautiful bouquets, and she also adds some ribbons to keep the bouquets together. "Those two flowers look pretty together, why can't you see that as well? Don't you think they're beautiful?"

Trip can only nod dumbly, and the staff bows and says, "My apologies, so they are your guests and they've got your permission to pick those flowers?"

"Yes, sir. My brother was really sorry for what happened back in the store, as compensation, he allows them to use those flowers as gifts for their use." Golly says.

After the staff members leave, Golly turns to the group and says, "Now you don't need to worry about everything."

"Thank you for helping us, if I remember, you're one of the Gym Leaders in Sevestar, right? Golly Satoshi, I assume?" Serena asks.

"Yes, and I need to thank you for saying that our flowers are beautiful." Golly says as she looks at the people. "You guys look familiar...Ah, you guys used to be friends with Ash Ketchum until he killed his mother..."

"You know us, and that murderer as well?" Serena asks with surprise.

"I never met him in person myself, however, I am a member of the International Police. 5 years ago, Ash Ketchum is a world-known figure, that's why the incident has been so big that the International Police has to take action." Golly says, "But I assume that's not what you want t talk about right now. So back to business, why would you try to take our flowers?"

"He wants to impress Princess Alice." May says, "Though I don't like her, considering that she took Manaphy away from me. She must have kidnapped her and do something to him."

"And maybe she might have done something to Champion Red as well." Serena frowns a little.

"That sounds very sad..." Golly sighs. "However, about my brother and Manaphy, I can't say for sure if you're right. However, when you guys come to my gym, I'll try my best to help you out."

"Are you sure about that?" Serena asks. "Won't your brother punish you for stealing Pokemon?"

"We're still family. Don't worry about me. Come to think of it, you're technically in enemy territory, so worry about yourselves first. However, I'm sure the strong bonds you share for one another will help you get through anything." Golly says. "Looks like I have to go, so I'll see you soon."

After Golly leaves, the traitors are a little confused about Golly, but she helped them from getting away from trouble, so that means she is nice to them, right?

After the gym match is over, the others also arrive at the Greeny Garden and they decide to split up and search. Ash and Alice are now walking at the Gracidea Fields, which has a lot of Shaymin resting there. They also head to the special green flower grounds and they find the Meadow Plate.

"I still remember we met the vice chief of Team Rainbow here..." Ash says. "That guy named Quartz."

"Yeah. Although he didn't reveal his name first, he just sent Ambrose and Amythest to battle us." Alice says as they are now back at the D&W. Ash says, "I still remember the day when Flora joined D&W."

"Yeah..." Alice nods.

(Flashback)

Flora comes to the D&W in the Kalos and is doing the job interview, Ash and Alice as Dean and Whith are the interviewers. Ash says, "Flora, you're hired."

"Wait, what?" Flora gasps as she can't believe what she is hearing. Ash says, "You have passed two of our tests with flying colors. So we're glad to have you help us out."

Alice says, "You told us that you want everyone to like your clothes, that is also why Dean and I open this store. We will be glad to have you help us design some new clothes."

Flora smiles, "Thank you so much. I promise I won't let you down."

"I already know you won't." Alice smiles and says, "Well, Flora, there is actually something that Dean and I agree to tell you. As you can see, Dean and Whith are actually our disguises. They aren't real."

"Huh?" Flora is confused. "What do you mean by that?"

Ash says, "We go by the name Dean and Whith because they are the first owners of this store. But in real life, we use different names and our true selves."

Ash is the first one to show himself, and Flora can only gasp as she knows that the person is no other than Ash Ketchum, the World Champion. Flora exclaims, "Ash Ketchum!"

"Yes, that is my real name, but please keep it down, I really don't like unwanted attention." Ash says. "In my real life, I am Ash Ketchum, but when I am a Fashion Designer, I am Dean. I may not have a degree just like you, but all of the clothes are made by me and Whith here."

Flora asks, "So...I am working with the famous Ash Ketchum himself? I wonder how Alice is going to hear about this. She is probably going to be so jealous."

"What do you mean by that?" Ash asks.

"I'm sorry, Ash. I have a sister who is a true fan of yours, and because of it, she gets bullied by her classmates to the extent of having to drop out of school." Flora says. "She treats you as her idol, and it will be amazing if she is able to see you in person."

Ash chuckles a little and says, "You see, Flora. Let me tell you some history. This store was originally owned by my father and Whith's mother, and with my father's permission, we decided to reopen it after 15 years."

"I see, but what does it have to do with me?" Flora asks.

"Dean and Whith are our disguises, the first Dean is my father, but do you know who the first Whith is?" Ash asks. "Your mother Valerie, is the first Whith."

"Wait, what? You mean...this store belonged to my mother?" Flora gasps. "She was a famous model before?"

Whith says, "I was surprised when I heard about the news, after all, I would've never thought that my mom would be a model for modern-style clothing."

"Mother?" Flora is now confused, why is Whith calling Valerie her mother? "Um...are we related? Because I don't think I have heard of a fourth sister in our family."

Whith takes off her disguise and says, "We don't have a fourth sister, Flora."

"Alice? You're Whith this whole time?" Flora gasps. "But you...you were shopping with us when we first came to the store..."

"Flora, we are Aura users, we have special powers." Alice says. "The Alice back then is not the real me. Ash, can you please close the store, since we're passed the opening hours."

"Sure." After Ash leaves, Flora asks, "Okay, you have to answer me, how did you meet Ash Ketchum, and how does he convince you to help him reopen this D&W?"

Alice says, "Ash and I have been dating for a month, and we reopen this D&W together. For how we met, let's say that a blizzard made it happen."

Flora remembers how Alice got separated from them in a blizzard until she comes back at night, she can tell that Alice has changed since that day, she wasn't shy and timid like she was before, and that creeps her out. It does help that after a week, her mother has assured them that nothing is wrong with her. Now she finally knows what is going on.

"Why didn't you tell me everything a week ago? Eve and I were worried something happened to you ever since you were not the same shy and timid girl from before." Flora asks.

"Do you remember what happened to Ash before the blizzard came? He was being framed for killing his mother. Ash was hurt and he didn't want to be in public. That's why I have decided to keep our relationship a secret. Right now only you and Mother know. I will tell Dad and Eve when I'm ready, but before that happens, I want you to keep it a secret."

Flora nods, she knows for sure that their whole family believes in Ash's innocence, and they are willing to help Ash out despite risking their jobs and lives.

(Flashback Ends)

Back in the castle, Golly finds everyone as she tells them everything that happened back in the garden. Trenor says, "I don't know why you have to do this..."

"I hate to do this as well, considering they killed our mother. But this will be a part of my revenge." Golly says. "Since my gym is located in Quest Town, the gloomiest place in the world, I'm going to use that to my advantage."

"But according to the schedule, they still need to speed 2 weeks before getting to the gym, are you sure you can do this?" Minami asks.

"Just put faith in me, after all, I have been through death and I know how it feels." Golly says.

Speaking of death, Golly was able to be revived from death, they wanted to do the same thing to their mother, but it turned out that isn't possible, resurrecting from death has a requirement that the dead soul has to have the will to come back to the world. But for some reason, their mother refuses to be resurrected.

Once Ash and Golly are alone, Golly turns to Ash and says, "Did you see any depression from Alice?"

"I had been keeping a close eye on her, and she doesn't seem to be depressed. However, we don't know when it would happen, so I can't lower my guard." Ash says.

"You're right about that..." Golly says.

Here is a new chapter, and Golly's revenge plan is also in motion right now. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be more stuff.
