"So where is Aurora? Why isn't she with you?" Cynthia asks after seeing Lillie being the one with Ash. Ash says, "Aurora is sick and is forced to lie on the bed due to some health problems. I notice that there are also a few of you sick as well."

Dawn, May, and Iris are not with the group and Serena is the one frowning since both of her chosen people are now sick and unable to move. She still thinks that Aurora might have done something, but she doesn't have any evidence and she is frustrated.

"And to make up for it, my sister Lillie will be helping me with this one instead." Ash says. Lillie smiles a little and says, "It's a pleasure to be the one helping Red. I promise I will do my best."

Then they all head back to the interior of Mt. Fortana and go through the other exit. They reach Route 7 and are surprised to see a lot of lava pits and a temple in front of them.

"This is the Regiflame Temple. Regiflame's emergence from pools of magma is said to be blinding due to its core glowing with extreme heat. It has the signature ability Lava Armor, it is similar to Water Absorb but boosts the Special Attack instead of healing. It has a signature move called Magma Meteor. He spins its body to shoot magma at the opponent, it can attack with wide range."

"Okay... that's a little terrifying." Leon says with a sweatdrop.

After arriving at Fiero City, everyone is delighted to see a hot spring building and a restaurant called Helen's Kitchen. Ash and Lillie show them the pit where Heatran may summon if they have the Magma Stone and the hot spring where Volcanion might appear if bringing a box of donuts. And there is also a Paradox Machine for Volcarona to Iron Moth, and a Beast Ball Statue for Ultra Carnival, which is for Blacephalon.

While the others are having a hot spring, Gladion, Lillie, and Ash are now inside Helen's Kitchen for the reservation and cooking. Helen asks, "So Ash, have you told the Champions about the Starter Quest Stations?"

"You mean the stations for quests to capture Starter Pokemon? I haven't told them about it because I don't think it is necessary. But it is also great if they want to capture the Starter Pokemon from other regions." Ash says while finishing decorating the plate.

(Note: For the other region's starter Pokemon, they will be event Pokemon and their events have been carefully planned)

Lillie takes a box of macaroons and says, "By the way, Helen. Was Victini stealing macaroons again?"

"You've gotta be kidding me... looks like we're going to make another batch..." Helen mutters. "But what is the revenge plan for those murderers?"

"I'm sorry, Lillie. I will need to use your allergy, is that fine?" Ash asks.

"You mean white peppers?" Lillie mutters after noticing the white peppers. "I guess for your revenge plan... it's okay..."

Gladion says, "We'll be by your side to make sure that the traitors get what they deserve."

Ash nods until they hear another crashing sound, they turn to see Pikachu and Snowy breaking the bottle of ketchup. Ash says, "Really? You two?"

"Thanks to Pikachu... Snowy is about to become a ketchup addict..." Lillie sighs. "And I'm sorry that another ketchup bottle is broken..."

Helen says, "It's fine. I guess the others are finished having their own hot spring."

Then Ash and Lillie invite all of them to Helen's Kitchen for lunch, and while they are having it, Helen and Alain are battling as the middle of the restaurant becomes a giant battlefield. Helen wins in the end even though Alain's Mega Charizard X is giving her a hard time.

"So how do you like the food?" Ash asks. "Helen here is not only a great chef, but she is also an S-Class Connoisseur and everyone in the region really likes her for her skills."

"An S-Class? Then if you don't mind, may I have a cooking showdown with you?" Cilan immediately asks for the battle, Ash knows that he doesn't like someone better than him when it comes to connoisseur work. And he also takes the bait.

Helen says, "Sure I can have a cook-off with you. As a chef, I will provide you with the kitchen stuff and we'll see whose recipe is the best."

Cilan nods as they all head inside the kitchen, with Rotom Phone filming the whole scene, they are making sure that there is not going to be another Mallow incident. Their theme is Leek, and Helen decides to go with her own specialty: Roasted Farfetch'd. While Cilan decided to make a grilled Tauros steak with leek and onion. Ash, Lillie, and Serena are the judges because Serena doubts that Lillie will choose Helen because of her own personal reasons. They also give them the list of allergy foods, but Cilan ignores it, much to Ash and Lillie's delight.

In the end, when the dishes are complete, they all have a taste. Serena has to admit that Helen's cooking is delicious. But when they try Cilan's food, Lillie suddenly falls to the ground while breathing heavily.

"Lillie!" Gladion and Ash are the ones rushing to her. Ash asks, "Lillie, are you okay?"

"My body... is so hot..." Lillie mutters with a pained face.

Gladion yells at Cilan, "What did you put in your dish? Did you seriously put white peppers in it?"

Cilan gulps a little as he realizes he did because he wants to extend the flavor. Ash roars, "Didn't we give you the list of allergies? Why did you ignore it? Just because Lillie believes in Ash's innocence, did you really need to shut her up because of it?"

"I- No, that's not..." Cilan mutters and the other trainers are showing disappointment. Even the other traitors can't help Cilan with this one. And because of Lillie's allergy, Ash and Gladion are able to quickly get back to Otem Town and have her lie on the bed and rest. Fortunately that Lillie already have the medicine, so it doesn't seem to be that horrible.

(Flashback)

Ash says, "Well, all of that working makes me hungry. I think I will like to have something good to eat..."

"Me too. I think there is a restaurant nearby called Helen's Kitchen." Alice says, "It serves a lot of food and there is even a child cook that is the greatest attention to all in the restaurant a few years ago. Even though she is currently the same age as us right now, her food is still good."

Ash and Alice finally arrive at Helen's Kitchen, but they stop as they notice the shutter doors and a sign saying "Closed". Alice checks her phone and says, "Oh man...I thought we could have eaten at the famous restaurant."

She shows the website to Ash, who is surprised to learn that the store is out of business. Ash says, "When did this happen? I mean...this is so sudden..."

"Looks like we should eat somewhere else instead..." Alice sighs.

They notice a girl with honey blonde hair on the bench just across the street staring at the two, and she is the same age as both Ash and Alice. They notice the tears on her face and Ash asks, "Excuse me, is there something wrong?"

The girl says, "It's about Helen's Kitchen...I heard your conversation, you just knew that the restaurant was out of business, right?"

"Yeah...are you sad because you won't be able to eat at this restaurant anymore?" Alice assumes, and the girl shakes her head, "No, that's not it..."

"What do you mean that's not it?" Ash asks in confusion.

The girl sighs and she says, "I should introduce myself, I am Helen Gravy. You probably heard of me as the main chef of this restaurant."

"Wait, you were the famous child chef of the world?" Alice asks in surprise. "But why were you crying here and what really happened to the restaurant?"

"Ever since I won the cooking competition to become the famous child chef, my father gave me this restaurant as a birthday present. Since then, our restaurant has had a lot of customers all around the world just wanting to try my cooking. My father was not a chef, he is a food supplier. And he got himself killed in an accident a few days ago while trying to supply the ingredients for our restaurant." Helen frowns. "After that day, things are getting downhill, inflation of ingredients, other chefs leaving, and the pay rent is due..."

Ash and Alice look at each other, they can't help but feel sad for the girl. Helen continues, "I don't have money to start another business, and there are more aspiring child chefs around the world. I am not a child and I couldn't get back to being one, it's just like I am some sort of expired product..."

Ash says, "Well, you don't need to worry about that. We can help you get back to the restaurant if you want to."

"Huh?" Helen is surprised. "But I am just a stranger to you, why do you want to help me?"

"We can't see someone that suffers." Alice says. "I don't think we have introduced ourselves. You can call us Morris and Paula.

Ash says, "We like to make food, but we didn't have cooking licenses..."

Helen looks at them and she asks, "So you two like cooking, is that true?"

Ash and Alice nod and Helen sighs, "Having a cooking license is not that hard, if you have cooked for years, that is. The main problem is how you're going to get my restaurant back?"

Ash contacts the landlord and asks for payment from the restaurant, and much to Helen's surprise, Ash and Alice have enough money to let Helen get back to the restaurant. Then they also manage to do some dishes for Helen to try out, and she really likes what they made.

"It seems like we can learn all those dishes together." Helen says. "Morris, Paula, can you help me with the restaurant? With the three of us working together, we can make our restaurant boom."

Ash and Alice look at each other and they use their aura to communicate, and after they nod at each other, Alice says, "Well, sure. But before that, can you promise to keep a secret?"

"A secret? What kind of secret? If it is a good secret, then you can trust me to keep it." Helen says.

Seeing how Helen is being honest, Ash says, "You see, Morris and Paula aren't our real names. In fact, we are having disguises."

"What do you mean by that?" Helen is a little confused. Alice says, "Well, my real name is Alice Urup, and Morris' real name is Ash Ketchum."

The girl widens her eyes and says, "Ash Ketchum? The World Champion who is also the hero of Kalos? The one who has a special Greninja and stops Team Flare from attacking the region? That was you the whole time?"

Ash shows his true form and Helen is surprised to see the real deal. Helen of course asks about the murder of his mother, and he also tells him how he is framed and the real murderers are the witnesses who plot the whole thing together. Helen is furious about what they have done, and she promises to keep it a secret. After a while, she is also friends with the other siblings and she becomes the Gym Leader of the new Sevestar Region while helping them out.

Here is a new chapter, and we have another chapter and this time the Fire Type is complete. I also have to mention that after the gym battle, you will be meeting Luke in the restaurant and he will give you the HM for Surf. I hope you like this chapter.
