When the group arrives at Silkan City, it is just a normal city with a lot of people and Pokemon passing by, but in the middle of the city, there is a giant building in front of them. Ash says, "This is the famous RPA Company. In this region, RPA is the biggest conglomerate in this region. All the brands from other regions need to have a deal with us before selling their products here. We also have a lot of services."

"So how much money do you earn with the enterprise?" Steven decides to ask.

"I am not sure, maybe millions or more." Ash says, "We usually give a lot of payment to our employees, after all, RPA stands for Royal Pokemon Association."

A lot of people hear the prince and they have greed in their eyes, especially Iris, May, Dawn, and Trip. Lillie and Bonnie notice them and they can only show their face with disgust.

"Now this is not just an ordinary department store in Lilycove or the one in Unova Route 9. However, we also have a membership card for the department store. And newcomers will only get 2 stickers." Ash says as he gives the others each a membership card, with only access to the first floor and the top floor.

"There are a total of 11 floors. You can only access to the first floor and the top floor. If you want to access the other floors, you will have to collect the stickers."

"And where can we get the stickers?" Nemona asks.

"They are scattered around the region, you'll have to find them yourselves. Now we'll give you access to the top floor since that's where the Library is at. The library also serves as our Normal Type Gym, that's why it is why you'll be given the sticker immediately after you bring the card." Ash says as they all head into the elevator and head to the top floor, where the library is at.

"So how strong is Nate?" Selene asks, and Ash says, "He is usually the first choice for the beginners, however, he can also be strong if you have more than 1 badge."

After getting out of the elevator, everyone is surprised to see how many books there are on the shelf. Nate is sitting at the counter typing on his computer, he notices Ash and the others and he says, "Ah, Champion Red, Princess Aurora. Welcome."

"Hello, Nate. Are you ready for the test?" Ash asks.

"Of course, but just let me finish some words." Nate says as he continues to type on his computer. Cynthia asks, "Are you perhaps writing a new novel?"

"Exactly." Nate says. "The truth is, I got paid by a customer to make a story. He gave me a full summary, all I need to do is to expand it into a novel."

"What kind of story are you writing?" Brandon asks. "Can you tell us the full summary?"

"If I tell you right now, it won't be fun to read anymore." Nate stands up and says, "But since you're here, I might as well stop writing and have the battles that you wanted. So who is going to battle me?"

"That will be me." Leaf stands in front of him and says, "I'm Leaf Green from Viridian City, I was chosen by our Champion Adam to battle you."

"It will be my pleasure." Nate says as he walks towards a bookshelf, by putting a book into the shelf, the shelves are moving and a giant field appears, with glass walls rising from the ground and covering the field.

"Does your gym really need to make such a big deal?" Dawn asks.

"Those glasses are made with David's help. We're in a library after all, so some people who are reading need silence. That's why with the walls, we won't be disturbing the other people who want to read."

"That sounds amazing if you ask me." Lyra says.

As Nate and Leaf have their battle, the traitors decide to look into Nate's computer, hoping to find something useful for them. They manage to find the paragraph that Nate is writing.

"Dad!" The small princess kneels at the king, who has been stabbed by a sword in the chest. The princess glares at the duke and says, "How could you do this, Duke Roberts?"

"It is simple, I want the power to rule the country." The Duke says as the knights rush into the castle. "Arrest her! She's the one who killed the king!"

The princess widens her eyes as the knights start to surround the princess. "What's the meaning of this? I am not the one who killed my father!"

"Do you think they would listen to your excuses? I saw everything with my own eyes. Take her to the dungeon!" The Duke smirks as the princess is dragged away by the knights, her screams of letting go fell deaf their ears, and all she can hear are the Duke's laugh at her misery.

The traitors are widening their eyes in shock, the story is similar to what they've done to Ash five years ago. But Ash isn't here in this region, right? There is no way people could've known what they'd done to frame him.

At the same time, Ash and Alice are meeting Adam behind one of the bookshelves, with Lillie, Gary, and Alain agreeing to keep an eye on the others.

"So I see the plan is still in motion?" Adam asks Ash, who nods and says, "Yes, Father."

Adam is secretly Ash, Mark, Minami, Golly, Trenor, and Insey's birth father, after the news of Delia's death and how the news talks about Ash being the murderer, he is flying in rage as he manages to seek out his son in the Rota Kingdom. After confirming that the traitors are the ones who killed Delia, Adam plays a huge role in contacting other leaders who believe that Ash is innocent, such as Wallace, Winoa, Diantha, Wikstrom, Lance, and the other well-known League members.

He is also the one who manages to reveal everything to the International Police, and they promise to give Ash a trial once his new identity is exposed. Ash also joins the International Police as an assassin, which helps by covering his identity, and it is also why they manage to get Team Rainbow arrested in the end.

Alice notices the traitors' paled faces after seeing the paragraph from Nate, she says, "Nate's new story is about the rise of the framed Princess. Judging by their looks, they must have seen the part when they tried to frame the princess for killing the king."

Ash says, "So Dad, did you manage to persuade more allies? Or did your last name get found out?"

Adam chuckles a little and says, "Nobody outside the region knows my last name, you don't need to worry about that. And the truth is, Mark has contacted me that Max is now having a deep conversation with his father, I'm assuming that Norman's heart is swaying since he is confused as to who is right. May, or Max?"

"So what are you going to do with him? He sided with May and the others?" Alice asks.

"I am not going to forgive everyone who thinks of me as a criminal. I lost my Mom, one of the best females in the world that loves me." Ash says. "She won't die in vain, and she will be avenged."

Adam says, "We're feeling the same way, I think we've already talked too much, it's time to go back to the others."

Ash and Alice nod as they watch the gym battle, the traitors are also back from searching Nate's computer, it is a good thing they didn't try to delete anything on the computer, but they've not found anything related to Red or Aurora on the computer.

Leaf is down to her Eevee while Nate has Regigigas on the field, the traitors realize that Nate has a Legendary Pokemon and they are shocked.

"Regigigas, use Crush Grip." Nate says, and Regigigas goes for the attack to knock the Eevee out. After that, the Rotom referee says, "Eevee is unable to battle, Regigigas is the winner, which means the victory goes to Nate."

Leaf sighs, "I guess I lost the battle...you're really strong."

"You are not bad yourself." Nate says.

"So how did you manage to get yourself a Regigigas? It is such an amazing Pokemon." Cynthia asks.

"Here in the Sevestar Region, Legendary Pokemon are treated as wild Pokemon in some of the areas, if you're lucky, you'll be able to encounter a wild one and even capture it."

"Seriously? We can find a Legendary Pokemon in the wild just like that?" Hop asks.

"Our region is not a paradise for nothing. However, that doesn't mean you can immediately become a strong trainer." Ash says. "For example, you might be able to encounter a Meloetta in the wild, first of all, their capture rate is as low as a Beldum. That might be able to get solved if you have plenty of Master Balls, which are not easy to find or acquire. Even if you have it, the Legendary Pokemon or Mythical Pokemon's level is pretty weak, maybe it will still lose to a wild Alolan Raticate since Raticate can go for a Dark move to deal damage to a Psychic-type like Meloetta. That, however, can be solved if you train your Pokemon really hard, like Nate's Regigigas."

"I see..." Gladion says. "So this is what we know as 'there's no such thing as a free lunch.'"

Alice says, "Exactly. Since your goal today to challenge the Normal Type Gym is finished, as the co-president of the RPA Company, we'll let you use our services in the department store without the need for stickers. However, after today, we'll be back with the rules."

As everyone leaves, Nate walks to Ash and Alice. Nate says, "So they saw it, right?"

"Yeah. You didn't put anything else in your computer, right?" Ash asks.

"Of course not. I made sure that nothing important is on the computer. As for secret files, they are already recorded in this USB. I only leave the page with my unfinished story on it."

"That's good. By the way, you did have a nice battle, how about having your sister give your Pokemon messages?" Ash suggests.

"That will be nice. But if she's not in the store, I suppose I can have your messages instead?" Nate asks Alice, who sighs. "Maybe. After all, I was the one who made her famous."

At the same time, Serena finds May and Dawn, she asks, "Where have you two been? You had missed the amazing battle."

May says, "Sorry about that, we have some things that we need to find in the library."

"But I guess we didn't find anything important for us, so how about we go somewhere else?" Dawn asks.

Serena sighs and says, "Of course, by the way, I heard that you guys are kicked out of the hotel, what's wrong with that?"

May and Dawn frown and May says, "We dropped our keys on the road and we couldn't find it, I guess we are much luckier that we didn't need to compensate for it..."

"But that means we can't enter the hotel again as we manage to book some rooms in the Pokemon Center." Dawn says.

"Geez..." Serena rolls her eyes as she also notices Ash and Alice leave. For some reason, she is really jealous of Alice being close to Ash.

And I'll end the chapter right here, as you can see, Adam is really Ash's father, and for the sake of his identity and other things, their meeting has to be private. In each of the gym challenges, Ash and Alice will be planning to do something to the traitors, but whether they are still trying to go is up to them.
