"There you go. You're lucky that you're my brother, or else I could have charged you lots of money." Rosa says with a tired tone after trying to give a message to a fricking Regigigas.

"And I'm grateful to have a stylist like you in the family." Nate says.

Rosa turns to Ash and Alice as she asks, "So what are your next plans?"

Ash says, "I just had a talk with my father, and I think I am going to tell my siblings about what he's said. After all, for his sake of not being recognized, we can only meet on secret occasions. Especially since the whole incident regarding our mother's demise..."

Nate says, "That sounds sad. But I hope you're fine with it."

Ash and Alice then leave the salon on the fifth floor, they sigh as they see a lot of people visiting the store. They set up a lot of services and there are some gifted Pokemon they can get if they have the stickers.

(Notice, if this is a game, on the second floor there is a girl who wants to trade Kangaskhan for a Rhydon, and probably the only way to get the Kangaskhan other than breeding)

Like the Honey Cafe, the main store is in the next town: Resout Town, but if they attend a special battling contest, the winner will be given a Miltank if winning. On the ninth floor, there is a special weather observation center for observing weather, mostly researching Castform and their weather conditions. (Gift Castform in the game)

There is also a lab on the fifth floor, which also researches the creation of Pokemon. There is a computer and if you insert a data chip there, a Porygon might appear. And the researchers are also trying to create their own Type: Null. All they need is some parts required for it. And finally, in front of the store, there is a Cyclizar parking spot. By purchasing an amount of money, they can have a Cyclizar.

Their own office room is located on the seventh floor, and both Ash and Alice are meeting Goodshow. Ash says, "I'm surprised that you're doing this to us... giving us the PLA Company so that you can retire. Didn't you forget that in other people's eyes, I'm a criminal who killed my mother?"

Goodshow says, "And as I mentioned, I know you for years and I know you aren't a person who would kill your own mother just because of a disagreement. Besides, the RPA Company is also booming in business."

"You're right. But the only problem is that half of the Champions are against me because of how they believe in the lies about me killing my mother. They claim to have evidence of 12 witnesses after all, it's a good thing that the International Police is on our side..." Ash says.

"So the time that we reveal the news of your retirement is after Ash is exposed, right?" Alice asks.

"Yes, and I'll be waiting for the day to come." Then Goodshow leaves the room, with Ash limping onto his sofa and mutters, "I can't believe that went well... to think we'll be able to manage the Leagues in the future..."

"Yeah. But only if you're exposed. And right now we are still gathering the evidence and having this tour." Alice says.

Bonnie and Lillie are now walking on the eighth floor where evolution stones are purchased, they see a girl evolving her Eevee by using the Shiny Stone.

"So that is an Eeveon?" Bonnie asks. "That is so cool."

"Eeveon is able to adapt itself easily to its surroundings, always having a trick up its sleeves for every situation." Lillie says. "The ability of this Pokemon is either Defiant or Protean, while the hidden ability is Adaptability."

"Protean sounds like a strong ability, I only know that Greninja, Kecleon, and Meowscarada can have it." Bonnie says.

"There you are." The two females notice Ash and Alice approaching. Lillie says, "Brother Red, what are you doing here?"

"Seeing how you are doing. I'm sure that the killers haven't bothered you?" Ash asks.

"They used to bother me, but after I was adopted into your family, they seldom did it because they don't want to get on your bad side. After all, you won all 9 Leagues." Lillie says.

"That's true. How about we have dinner in Helen's Kitchen?" Ash asks. "It's on me."

"That's so nice!" Bonnie cheers, "How about we invite Nate and Rosa with us?"

"That is great." Alice says as they all head to the restaurant for dinner.

(Flashback)

Nate and Rosa used to live in Aspertia City, they were also students from the Pokemon Academy which also serves as the gym. Their family has a secret: They used to be members of Team Plasma. When Team Plasma was split into two groups, there is the White Knights and the Black Pirates. The White Knights believe in the goal of liberation and Lord N is their leader, while the Black Pirates want to rule over the world and Ghetsis is their leader.

After the first time, Reshiram killed 5 of the Seven Sages and injure most of the people, the white knights have been disbanded and all go to hide, while the Black Knights still continued with Team Plasma's evil doings until Ash and his group stopped them.

"Brother... I wonder... since we're staying here, does that mean we should forget the past and pretend that we don't know about Pokemon?" Rosa asks with a frown.

"This is the best we can do." Nate says. "After Lord N and a trainer named Ash Ketchum stopped Team Plasma, it is better for us to start a new life."

"But I heard that Ash Ketchum is wanted because he killed his mother..." Rosa says. "They say there are 12 witnesses who saw that."

"You're right, but there is something fishy there... I mean, I don't believe Ash killed his mother. One of the witnesses is our Unova Champion, for some reason I really don't like her."

"Me too..." Rosa says.

After a few days, they are ambushed by the poachers, and their Pokemon are taken.

"Please, that is my Lillipup!" Rosa cries as she begs the poachers, but it falls on deaf ears as the Poacher puts the Lillipup and the Pidove into the van.

"Now we should scram." The first poacher says as the second one tries to go off.

"Stop and give our Pokemon back!" Nate yells, but in vain.

"Porygon-Z, Sharpen." Just then, the Pokemon breaks the tire of the truck, causing the two Pokemon to fall as well as the poachers.

"Pidove!" "Lillipup!" The two Pokemon hug their trainers after they are released.

"Who did it?" The second Poacher yells as Ash and Alice appear in front of them, but due to them wearing cloaks, nobody recognizes them.

"We did this, you should be punished for your actions." Ash says.

"And who might you be?" The first Poacher asks.

"It doesn't matter who we are, we despise scum like you." Alice says as she takes out the Pokeball, "Avalugg, freeze them before Officer Jenny arrives."

Then the Pokemon freezes them as they are trapped in ice, Ash walks towards the siblings and asks, "Are you guys okay?"

The siblings don't know why, they think that the man has no hostility, so they nod. After the poachers are sent to Officer Jenny, the couple decides to leave before Nate and Rosa call out to them.

"Can we come as well?" Rosa asks.

"Huh? Why?" Ash asks.

"We think that you are cool, to be able to help us..." Nate says.

Ash and Alice look at each other, then Ash says, "Sure. By the way." He takes off his hood as well as Alice, and then the siblings are surprised.

"That face...are you perhaps Ash Ketchum? The World Champion and the one who saved Unova from the former Team Plasma?" Rosa asks in shock. "I am your biggest fan!"

"Not so loud please." Ash shushes the girl, noticing that Officer Jenny isn't looking at him. He says, "To answer your question, yes, I am. I didn't know that the news have spread this wild..."

"We saw the news, how you were able to destroy Team Plasma and Team Flare, even Team Skull as well." Nate says.

"But we don't know why, you have been labeled as a criminal who killed your mother." Rosa frowns. "And we for once don't believe in that nonsense."

Ash smiles and says, "Well...um...I don't think I have ever asked your names."

"I am Nate and this is my sister Rosa." The boy says. "We are from Aspertia City and we are also students there."

"Okay, Nate. Rosa. Thanks for standing by my side. It is true, I was being framed, those twelve witnesses are the real killers of my mother, the only problem is the evidence is not good for me, so all I can do is hide and gather evidence without them noticing." Ash says.

"And half of the League Champions are against Ash as well, including the Kalos Queen. But fortunately, there is a new region for us to stay in, and we don't need to worry about being our true selves there." Alice says.

"A new region?! Can we come as well?" Rosa asks.

"I don't see why not." Ash smiles.

After showing them around the new Sevestar Region, Ash invites the two of them to join in the development as gym leaders. Ash also knows about their past as Team Plasma members, but he doesn't mind since they changed. After graduation, Nate and Rosa are staying in the region. Nate becomes the best novelist with the first book being "Love in the Darkness." A story about a boy named Ark and a girl named Alice defeating an evil team known as Team Jet and fall in love. While Rosa becomes a stylist and with Ash and Alice's disguises: Reukra and Namie, they are famous around the world for styling Pokemon.

(Flashback Ends)

"The food is always great here in Helen's Kitchen. Chef Morris has really outdone himself." Nate says.

"You really eat a lot after a gym battle, brother. This is such a bad habit." Rosa sighs.

"It's fine. I already said that I pay for the bill. That reminds me, you two have rejoined Team Plasma with N and Colress. How was it doing now?" Ash asks.

"It's doing a great job, we are helping a lot of abused Pokemon and giving them to new trainers who show love and care." Nate says.

"I see. That sure is some good news." Lillie says while looking at Pikachu, Eeveon, and Snowy playing ball together at the small playground.

They notice that the traitors are entering the restaurant, and they decide to finish their meal in silence so that they won't see them. They also hear their conversation, and since Serena is with the group, they don't talk much about the incident related to Ash, much to their relief. They are talking about the wealth of the RPA and how the facilities are suited for them.

Rosa says, "Just ignore them. Let them have this talk. They will have to know that after today, they're not going to get into the department store again unless they have the stickers."

"And I don't think they'll be getting some because of their attitudes." Nate says as they slightly chuckle.

Here is a new chapter, and what's with the Darker Version without the plot of the Lighter Version? I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be the road to the next gym.

Ash's Eeveon: Ability: Protean. Moves: Slack Off, Tail Slap, Thrash, Earth Power, Agility, Charm
