After Ash and Alice are finished filming, they go back to the gym and find that Bonnie barely wins against Elline, as the both of them shake their hands together. Ash says, "How is the battle?"

Diantha says, "Perfect. How is the movie filming?"

"Also amazing." Alice says. "But it seems like we're missing someone."

The Champions and the Chosen trainers realize that the traitors are gone, as they go search for them, they find that they are sleeping on the seats in the resting room. After waking them up, they don't remember why they are actually there.

"Oh well, I already told you not to go alone, at least you're safe." Ash sighs. "Now I think we should explore around the area before our ship arrives."

The others nod as they separate, but much to Ash and Alice's horror, Serena is now with them. Serena says, "You won't mind if I join you?"

Ash and Alice look at each other, and Ash says, "Sure you can come with us."

Serena gives Alice a smug look, and Alice for once doesn't like it. Serena asks, "So where are you going?"

"We're just going to visit the 'Ash Ketchum' exhibit." Ash says, which causes her to flinch a little. "Ash Ketchum has an exhibit? But isn't he a criminal?"

Alice says, "Just because he is a criminal now, does that mean we have to forget and ignore all his good deeds from the past?"

Serena says, "No, of course, I'm not like that. I mean, before he killed his mother, he is a sweet and great guy. He likes to help everyone he can after all."

When they arrive at the exhibit, Serena is shocked to see a lot of things on display, and at the same time, the others are also watching the exhibit. When they notice the Z Crystal replica, Bonnie asks, "What is this?"

"This is a replica of the Z Crystal that Tapu Koko created for Ash Ketchum." Ash says. "He called it Pikashium-Z."

"But still, to think that there is a display room for Ash Ketchum... I never got to ask you, Red. Do you believe Ash Ketchum killed his mother?" Serena asks.

Ash closes his eyes and says, "To be honest, I don't believe Ash would kill his mother. However, it is true that the evidence is directed to him as the murderer, but I was also thinking if there's something more to it."

"And what do you think there's more to it?" Leon asks.

"Let's see, the witnesses say that the reason why Ash killed his mother is that she asked him to give up his dream after all the failures that he had. Let's assume that this is the truth, why would Ash be angry about the fact that he would try to kill his mother?"

Lillie says, "I have a reason, I knew Ash since I become a trainer, and Ash has been teaching and helping us with Pokemon training. He focused on us so much that he neglect his own improvement. Not to mention there used to be a group called Team Rocket who kept causing trouble for him."

Alice says, "You might be correct about that. But it is not just Team Rocket, there are also other evil people, just like Team Flare from the Kalos Region. This display is for the movie that Red filmed as Ash Ketchum, we were hoping that he would see the movie and show up in front of us and tell us he's innocent. But sadly, he never showed up..."

"But why weren't there any of his travel companions in the movie?" Serena asks.

Ash says, "Simple. If we put either of the travel companions in the story, then we might violate the law for no permission."

"I guess that's fair enough." Lance says.

The traitors hear the news and they all slightly groan a little, so the reason why they aren't included in the movie is because they never give the crew their permission...

Then after watching the display, they also go to the top floor to see Zeraora's Garden. On one of the pillars, there is also a Zap Plate that is surrounded by electricity. Ash also mentioned that they fought the black-cloaked man named Agate to prevent the Zap Plate from being stolen.

After that's done, they head to the Pokeball factory and also the Wild Pokemon area. They also learn that Zapdos will rest in the area, and there is a room where Regieleki is staying.

"So I have to assume there is also a Paradox Machine and an Ultra Beast Statue around here somewhere?" Bonnie asks.

"Yes, the Paradox Machine for Sandy Shocks is over there, while that statue is for Ultra Plant, where Xurkitree is located." Ash says.

"Looks like you guys are having fun here." Elline comes and greets them. Ash asks, "Elline how are you doing?"

"Well, I was just feeding some of the Hisuian Electrode and Voltorb some candies." Elline says. "You know, Pokemon from the Hisui Region can also be found here since the environment here is similar to the ancient Hisui."

"I'm glad that you've done this..." The girl named Akari says. She looks similar to Dawn, but she is wearing a ninja outfit. Ash says, "That reminds me, Akari. I never got to ask how your stay in this modern world is."

"It's fine, I mean, I missed the old ancient Hisui lives, but you and Tox showed me a lot and I'm really grateful." Akari smiles.

"Yeah, Trenor will be really sad if you're not happy about the world we live in." Alice says.

Elline also smiles as she starts to remember how she becomes a gym leader in this town.

(Flashback)

When Alice wants to try out being an actress for a movie, Ash and Alice go for new disguises as Philip and Elizabeth while they enter Pokestar Studios. The script that they're given is called "The Thunder Girl", and the two of them have to play the scientists in the movie. In the film, the male scientist has a daughter: The Thunder Girl herself, and the person who played her role is Elline Zumi, who is also a new face in the studios like both Ash and Alice are.

When they are working together, they have been doing a great job on working acting. Until the Director says to Elline, causing her to flinch. "As expected as the daughter of Diantha. You sure have the same actions as your mother. I am really excited to see how you would act in the next part."

Elline nods and then they take a break, but Ash and Alice can see that she is frowning. Ash says, "I wonder what is that about..."

Alice turns to Ash and says, "Wait, if I remember correctly...the Kalos Champion and the famous movie star, Diantha, was your aunt, right? So does that mean Elline was your Cousin?"

"What?" Ash gasps as he remembers what his father and Diantha told him. Does that mean the Elline in front of them is actually his cousin? Ash decides to check it out using Aura, and he gasps, "I can feel it, she has the Ketchum Aura. She really is my cousin Elline!"

Ash decides to take action as he walks toward Elline. "Elline, what's wrong? Is there something that matters?"

"Oh, hey Phillip, Elizabeth." Elline gives a fake smile. "Well, it is nothing, don't worry about me."

Ash decides to say, "By the way, you really acted very well. I can say that you can be a great actress."

Elline looks at them and says, "You think so? I am very glad you like it. You see...this movie is also my debut, I was quite nervous as well."

"No way, the way that you acted is not like a beginner. You really have some good talents." Alice says, "But there is something I want to ask you. Is it true that you are related to the Kalos Champion Dinatha?"

Elline frowns and says, "Yes, she is my mother. I know that she is a famous actress and also the Champion, but I want to let everyone knows that I want to act because of my interests, not because I want to be in my mother's shadow..."

Ash and Alice look at each other with confusion. Ash says, "And why is that?"

Elline frowns and says, "As you can see, my mother doesn't know that I am acting here in the Pokestar Studios, and I don't intend to let her know. During my childhood, I have a lot of pressure from my peers, they befriend me because they are fans of my mother and hoped that someday they would get to meet her, I was depressed because they didn't really care about me like a true friend does. That's why I vowed I am going to be famous all by myself and not have my mother help me."

"I see." Ash says. "In fact, there is no wrong with wanting something like that. Let me tell you what I think, you don't need to listen to their words, what you should do is be yourself."

Elline looks at them and she smiles a little. "Thank you."

After they chat about the movie filming for a while, Ash says, "Elline, there is something I want to discuss. Is it okay if you come with us after filming?"

Elline is confused, but she nods. Once the filming is over, Elline follows them to the Virbank Complex, Elline asks, "Why are you bringing me here?"

"Because it is the place where people won't find us." Ash then shows his true form, causing her to be shocked.

"Ash...is that you?" Elline gives a sisterly hug as Ash nods. "Yes, Elline. It has been a while."

The two of them share a hug, and Elline asks, "What is going on? Why is the world treating you as a criminal?"

"Let's say that the world was cruel and I was tricked. I'm glad that my Dad told you guys that I'm innocent, and also, call me Red now because I don't want anyone to hear my real name and cause a lot of problems, especially since we're in the Unova Region."

Ash and Alice decide to tell her everything, and Elline is furious and mad about what is going on. "I can't believe it, you're saying that the Kalos Queen also believed in the lies and dumped you?"

"I'm glad that she dumped me, because I found Alice, and she's better than her." Ash says while hugging Alice tighter, causing her to blush.

"Yeah, congratulations on your relationship. I hope to attend your wedding if you don't mind." Elline smirks.

"Don't worry, you'll be invited. In fact, why don't you come with me to our hiding spot?" Ash asks.

"So where were you living? How come nobody was able to find your hiding spot?" Elline asks, worrying for his safety.

"I was at the island where my Dad used to stay. I can take you there if you want?" Ash asks as she agrees.

And after going there, Elline told Diantha about her being an actress and how she wanted to be famous for herself, and Diantha was touched by the truth and she decided to help train Elline more.

(Flashback Ends)

Here is a new chapter, now for the game, there is something I should mention. In one of the residential rooms, you can meet a fisherman and get a Good Rod there, and the food court was similar to the one in Mauville City. I hope you like this chapter.
