Now it is time for Ash and Lillie to go outside the world and help out the teams, as well as find the Pokemon for them to capture and recapture. Lillie asks, "So Ash, can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?" Ash asks.

"I want to know how many Pokemon have you captured before they are all killed off in the end?" Lillie asks, and Ash frowns.

"I think it is better if I give you this photo." Ash says as he shows her the 9 photos of all of his Pokemon.

"Starting from Kanto. There is Pikachu, Butterfree, Pidgeot, Bulbasaur, Charizard, Squirtle, Kingler, Muk, Tauros, Mr. Mime, Lapras, Snorlax, Gengar, Dragonite, Hitmonchan, Cubone, Aerodactyl, and Mewtwo. Butterfree, Lapras, and Mewtwo are the only ones who aren't killed because the former two I already released a long ago, and Mewtwo escaped before they could even get to him.

Next is Johto. There is Heracross, Bayleef, Quilava, Totodile, Noctowl, Donphan, Larvitar, Miltank, Crobat, Scizor, Ariados, Skarmory, Ampharos, Delibird, Kingdra, Houndoom, Granbull, and Lugia. Since Legendary Pokemon are strong, they are not easily getting killed, so that's why Lugia isn't killed, Larvitar is back to his mother in Mt. Silver, and Delibird is already away helping me send some letters. But the others are having the same fate.

The third is Hoenn. There is Swellow, Sceptile, Blaziken, Swampert, Corphish, Torkoal, Glalie, Castform, Dustox, Solrock, Ninjask, Shedinja, Metagross, Milotic, Manectric, Salamence, Gardevoir, and Latias. Latias is staying at Altomare, Swampert is back at the swamp protecting the other kin so he wasn't with me, and Shedinja, they haven't found a way to kill him, so he was staying with my sister Golly for now."

"Wait, if you're saying that, then how did your Gengar got killed?" Lillie asks.

"They have created a special light to kill ghosts. Still don't know how they do it, but they killed a handful of my Ghost Type Pokemon." Ash says with anger.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Lillie frowns.

"Don't be. Now where are we? In Sinnoh and probably Hisui, there is Staraptor, Ambipom, Torterra, Infernape, Empoleon, Floatzel, Gliscor, Garchomp, Lucario, Ursaluna, Sneasler, Arcanine, Vespiquen, Basculegion, Rotom, Braviary, Spiritomb, and Enamorus. Some of them didn't get killed by Team Rainbow Rocket, but they are living in the past. Enamorus is still alive but she's somewhere I don't know, and Rotom, you know where he is and what he's doing. Ambipom is with the Ping Pong Master O.

Then there's Unova. There is Unfezant, Oshawott, Pignite, Snivy, Scraggy, Leavanny, Palpitoad, Boldore, Krookodile, Scolipede, Chandelure, Klinklang, Eelektross, Gothitelle, Beartic, Hydreigon, Whimsicott, and Meloetta. Meloetta is with Ridley and the protectors of the Abyssal Ruins; Whimsicott is with the other Cottonee and Whimsicott at the Rainbow Valley, and Klinklang is helping our engineers with some stuff.

Kalos is next. There is Greninja, Chesnaught, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Noivern, Goodra, Furfrou, Dragalge, Tyrantrum, Vivillon, Trevenant, Aegislash, Heliolisk, Meowstic, Aurorus, Malamar, Florges, and Zygarde. The ones that live are Greninja and Squishy, who are cleaning the vines, and Goodra, who is at the swamp."

"Yeah, I think I know those from Kalos and Alola." Lillie frowns, "To think they are also killed off..."

"I know. Now for Alola, there is Rowlet, Lycanroc, Incineroar, Primarina, Naganadel, Melmetal, Silvally, Passimian, Oricorio, Mudsdale, Golisopod, Palossand, Vikavolt, Sandslash, Kommo-o, Persian, Shiinotic, and Solgaleo. Nebby and Naganadel are in the Ultra Space, so they avoid fate, and the other one who avoided fate is Silvally since you know why."

Lillie nods, "Yeah, since it is a gift from the Aether Foundation, it won't be destroyed that easily."

"For Galar, there is Sirfetch'd, Dracovish, Obstagoon, Corviknight, Sandaconda, Coalossal, Frosmoth, Copperajah, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, Toxtricity, Dragapult, Rapidash, Eiscue, Urshifu, Alcremie, and Eternatus. Eternatus is still locked in the Pokeball, Alcremie is staying with Opal and avoided fate, and Urshifu is staying at the Isle of Armor training for revenge.

And finally, Paldea. There is Meowscarada, Skeledirge, Quaquaval, Baxcalibur, Dudunsparce, Annihilape, Kilowattrel, Revavroom, Clodsire, Garganacl, Lokix, Gholdengo, Tikaton, Espathra, Roaring Moon, Kingambit, Iron Valiant, Miraidon. Roaring Moon, Iron Valiant, are back to their timeline while Miraidon is in Aera Zero protecting the machine. And that's all of them."

Lillie says, "You did capture a lot of Pokemon. That's 162 Pokemon you have there."

"You also have a handful of Pokemon as well." Ash says.

"Yeah, I have Delphox, Pangoro, Sylveon, Vulpix, Delcatty, Xatu, Roserade, Flygon, Glimmora, Beautifly, Banette, Gorebyss, Lilligant, Absol, Gallade, Altaria, Boltund, and Magearna." Lillie says. "Some of them helped me either in Contests or finding my father."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. But your 18 Pokemon are still with you and they can provide some help through battling. The Legendary Pokemon and those who are still living are somewhere out there battling my battles and I really wish I can help them..."

"I see." Lillie frowns. "So it's time to bring them back, right?"

"You're right." Ash says as they all head to the Kanto Region.

When they arrive at Pallet Town, Lillie gasps after seeing the town becoming a dead town with no people living and lots of gravestones. "This is..." Lillie can only mutter with horror.

"Yes, all the deaths caused by Team Rainbow Rocket. Thanks to the PLA, this place is now rebuilt as the Pallet Graveyard." Ash shakes his head. "And these right here are my mother's grave, as well as my Pokemon's grave... even Pikachu..."

Ash drops a tear again and Lillie is also shedding tears for Ash. "We're going to avenge those Pokemon. I'm sure of it." Lillie says while hugging Ash from behind.

"Of course." Ash says while wiping his tears. "Lillie, I may have mentioned to you that I'm a criminal because of those governments, but after making Team Celestial Alpha, we've been winning more battles and we also manage to take back half of the regions. In Kanto, Route 4, Route 16, and Route 15 are now the main battle lines because the western part is taken over by Team Celestial Alpha. Orange Islands and Sevii Islands are also our territory as well. But the Gym Leaders in the places where Team Rainbow Rocket are in are acting as spies to make sure that Team Rainbow Rocket doesn't know the involvement of the International Police or PLA. So we're in a safe zone right now."

"But isn't Giovanni the leader of Viridian City?" Lillie asks with a frown.

"He was, but now he couldn't access the gym anymore because we took over the Viridian City." Ash says. "Next is Johto, The main battlefield is now on Route 34, Route 36, and Route 42. We're on the east side and the Whirl Islands is still under their control. In Hoenn, it is a little weird."

"How come?" Lillie asks.

"We're basically in the middle of the Hoenn Region. To our west, the battlefields are Route 102, Route 108, Route 117, Route 112, and Route 113. To our east side, basically, Route 124, 126, and 129 is our battlefield. Team Magma is on the west while Team Aqua is at the ocean route that is east of Lilycove City."

"I see what you mean... that means even Mossdeep and Sootopolis are taken over by Team Aqua..." Lillie frowns.

"In Sinnoh, it is similar but we are on the outside this time. The main battlefields are Route 203, Route 205, Route 215, and Route 213. Team Charge is on the west side while Team Alpha has taken over the east side. The Resort Area is also ours, so that is a bonus for us."

"Okay. I want to ask if the reasons why the big cities are taken is because of the government?" Lillie asks, "I mean, Saffron, Goldenrod, Rustboro, and Hearthome. They are basically the capitals of the regions."

"You are right about that, and there's more." Ash frowns. "In Unova, the battlefield is also weird. Route 9, Route 16, and Route 3, not to mention the side where Virbank and Aspertia are on is also ours."

"That sure is weird, you've basically had a giant territory." Lillie says. "But the capital is Driftveil and Castelia has the most population... they are under Team Rainbow Rocket."

"You're right about that, but we're not giving up." Ash says. "For Kalos, we manage to take over Lumiose City thanks to the help of everyone in Team Celestial Alpha. However, I'm sorry to say this, but Vaniville Town is Serena's hometown, and it is still taken over by Team Rainbow Rocket. The battlefields are in Route 13, Route 4, and Route 22."

"Oh no..." Lillie frowns. "Serena's mother was one of the rebels and I also heard that she was killed in the end after learning about her daughter's demise."

"I know, I've heard about it." Ash says, "In Alola, each of the regions has its own battlefield. Melemele is on Routes 1 and 2, Akala is on Routes 5, 7, and 9, Ula'ula is on Route 12, and Poni Island is in Ancient Poni Path and Poni Wilds."

"I know about this, considering that I always keep on tabs about the war in the Alola Region." Lillie says. "But I also heard that the battle also goes into the Ultra Wormholes as well."

"Yes, most of the Ultra Wormholes are taken over by Team Rainbow Rocket, but we've also taken over some of them." Ash replies. "In Galar, we have the mainland, but they have the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra. They might be able to sneak attack, but we still have a giant army to wipe them out. And finally, in Paldea, it is probably the bad one, Team Star Bases, Glaseado Mountain, Alfornada, Mesagoza, and Medali are ours, other places, Team Rainbow Rocket's territory. All the provinces are warzones."

"I'm sorry to hear that. But our goal is to defeat Team Rainbow Rocket and get back the land they've stolen, right?" Lillie asks.

"If you think about it, it's more like we're the ones who stole the lands because the owners are doing what they want and the people are suffering. We are the revolutionists." Ash says. "Our goal is not only to wipe out Team Rainbow Rocket, but also to disband each of the governments and let it take over by PLA, or rather... RPA."

"RPA?" Lillie asks with confusion.

"Royal Pokemon Association. Mr. Goodshow informs me that after Team Celestial Alpha finishes the work of destroying the evil teams, he's going to retire and make me the new Chairman of the PLA. I think that PLA needs a name change, and some of the policies are a little outdated."

"I see." Lillie nods. "Managing a company sounds fun after all."

"Ash..." Just then, Ash and Lillie flinch as they turn around, they see a familiar Pokemon standing in front of them. Ash can't believe what he's seeing. A Pikachu is standing in front of the grave where Ash's original Pikachu is standing.

"Pi...Pikachu, is that really you?" Ash asks in surprise, and Pikachu rushes to him and tackles him with a hug. The two of them fall to the ground and Ash says, "Pikachu! You're right here! I can't believe it!"

"Ash... I'm so happy. I know I was given a second chance by Xerneas and Yveltal... but I'm happy to see you again." Pikachu says.

Sylveon and Snowy are also shocked to see Pikachu returning, Lillie gasps, "Pikachu!"

Pikachu then jumps off Ash's arms and also jumps into Lillie's giving her a nuzzle. "It's nice to see you again. How did you manage to find us?"

"I will never forget Pallet Town, after I evolved into a Pikachu again, I come all the way here to find you." Pikachu replies.

Sylveon and Snowy rush to Pikachu and they each give him a hug. Pikachu blushes when Sylveon hugs them first, and he also gives Snowy a fatherly hug.

After the small reunion, Pikachu says, "So has any other Pokemon found you just yet?"

"Not yet, you're the first one as always." Ash says, "But I'm sure they're trying to find me as well. They'll never give up until it's over."

Then he takes out a Pokeball and asks, "So what do you say buddy, want to come back to my team?"

Pikachu fist bumps at the Pokeball and is immediately sucked into the Pokeball. Then Ash quickly sends it back out since Pikachu hates Pokeballs. Then the group decides to head back to the nearby base to discuss some plans.

Here is a new chapter, and as you can see, Pikachu is the first one to come back and I've also included more of Ash's Pokemon. Some of their backstories will be mentioned in the future chapters and I hope you like this chapter.
