"And now it is the history of our family." Lillie says. "Our second queen: Elsa Aether. She is a girl with the powers of ice."

Lillie spins her arms around, and snow comes out from it, much to their surprise. "Wait, you don't mean that Fairy Tale is actually the story of your ancestor, right?" Mallow asks.

"Of course." Lillie says. "When the king notices the powers, she decides to make Elsa's parents the king and queen of the Ice Region. However, they were killed during a ship ride, and Elsa becomes the queen. But it was not a good story as people are scared of her powers. They thought of her as a monster with those powers, so the queen fled but accidentally bring the whole Ice Region into the forever winter. Her sister Anna wants to help her, and that's why she goes on a journey to bring her back. However, not only Elsa refuses, but she accidentally freezes her sister's heart, only true love can melt her frozen heart. The queen was also brought back to the region and imprisoned, and the people are going to behead her until her sister saves her in the last second, however, she is completely frozen after that, and it is because of their sibling's true love that Elsa's frozen heart melts and brings the summer back to the region."

"So that means Ice Region isn't always in winter?" Mallow asks. "Because you know, the snow..."

"Of course not." Gladion is the one that replies, much to their surprise. "I think I have some memories back as well. I also remember my father used to tell me this story..."

"And now we have the story of Princess Merida." Mark says. "Merida Honda is not like the princess that we used to know, she likes to battle. At the age of six, she receives a bow and arrow from her father. While venturing into the woods to fetch an arrow, Merida encounters a will-o'-the-wisp. Soon afterward, a huge demonic Urshifu, attacks the family. Merida flees on horseback with her mother, while her father and his men fend off the dark Urshifu, though the fight costs him one of his legs.

Ten years later, the family is chosen by our king to be the rulers of the Fighting Region. And for the sake of it, Merida is going to be betrothed to the son of one of her father's allies. Her mother explains that failure to consent to the betrothal could harm the region, reminding Merida of a legend of a prince whose pride and refusal to follow his father's wishes destroyed his kingdom. The allied clan chieftains and their first-born sons arrive to compete in the Highland games for Merida's hand in marriage. Merida twists the rules, announcing that as her own clan's firstborn she is eligible to compete for her own hand. She easily bests her suitors in an archery contest, shaming the other clans, and after a heated disagreement with her mother, runs away into the forest. Wisps appear, leading her to the hut of an elderly witch. Merida bargains for a spell to change her mother, and the witch gives her an enchanted cake.

When Merida gives her mother the cake, it transforms her into a Water Type Urshifu, unable to speak but still retaining most of her human consciousness. Merida returns to the witch's cottage with her mother, only to find it deserted, and discovers a message from the witch: unless Merida is able to "mend the bond, torn by pride" before the second sunrise, the spell will become permanent. Merida and her mother are led by the wisps to ancient ruins, where they encounter the Dark Urshifu. Realizing that the Dark Urshifu was the prince in the legend, Merida vows that she will not let the same thing happen to her mother, and concludes she needs to repair the family tapestry she deliberately damaged during their argument.

They return to the castle to find the clans on the verge of war. Merida intends to relent and declare herself ready to choose a suitor as tradition demands, but her mother prompts her instead to insist that the firstborns should be allowed to marry in their own time to whomever they choose. The clans agree, breaking tradition but renewing and strengthening their alliance.

Merida sneaks into the tapestry room with her mother, while her father, looking for his wife, finds out she's gone. Her mother, who is losing her humanity, attacks her father, but suddenly regains her composure and flees the castle. Mistaking the Queen for the Dark Urshifu, and thinking it has eaten his wife, the father pursues the bear with the other clans, locking Merida in the castle. Merida escapes with the assistance of her identical triplet brothers, Harris, Hubert, and Hamish, who have also eaten the enchanted cake and are now Kubfus. Merida repairs the tapestry and rides out after her father. Her father and the clans capture her mother, but Merida thwarts them before the real Dark Urshifu arrives. Dark Urshifu battles with the clan warriors and targets Merida, but her mother intercedes, holding off Dark Urshifu and causing him to be crushed by a falling menhir. This releases the spirit of the prince, who silently thanks Merida for freeing him and transforms into a wisp. Merida covers her mother in the repaired tapestry, but she remains a water Urshifu. As the sun rises for the second time, Merida realizes the mistakes she has made and reconciles with her mother, unknowingly fulfilling the true meaning of the witch's message and reversing the spell's effects on her mother and brothers."

"I know this story, this is also an amazing one." Gary says.

"And now for the Poison Region, we have the story of a girl named Cinderella Surudoi." Lillie says. "She has a stepmother and two sisters, who treat her as a slave rather than a normal girl. The same Multitype King decides to hold a ball for his son as the new Poison Region Leader, so the stepmother and two sisters are going to attend the party. However, Cinderella herself doesn't have the dress and the shoes to attend. Instead, they let her continue doing housework while they attend the ball themselves.

Cinderella begins to cry until a godmother appears. She brings her the dresses, the glass slippers, and the famous pumpkin carriage as she attends the ball, however, she has to leave at 12 midnight or else the magic will disappear. And in the ball, the prince manages to see Cinderella and they dance happily together, however, 12 midnight has arrived and Cinderella is forced to leave before everyone suspects it. But when she hastily leaves, she drops a glass slipper, which becomes the key for the prince to find the true identity of the princess he dances with.

After searching every house and every door, they manage to get to Cinderella's house. Knowing that the one who can wear the glass slipper will be the ruler of Poison Region with the prince, the stepsisters want to try it on. But none of them fit the slipper, just as the prince is leaving, he notices Cinderella who is doing housework and asks her to try it on, and eventually, the slipper fits, and the prince brings Cinderella to the castle and she becomes the first queen of the Poison Region."

"Cinderella sure is a great story, although I wonder why it will be the Poison Region?" Serena asks.

"Just because it is Poison Type doesn't mean it's bad." Lillie says.

"For the Ground Region's story, we have Aladdin, our second king of the Ground Region." Trenor says. "Aladdin, an orphaned street urchin in the city of the Ground Region, meets the daughter of the ruler, Princess Jasmine, who has snuck away from her sheltered life in the palace. She wishes to succeed her father as the queen but is instead expected to marry one of her royal suitors. Jafar, the grand vizier, schemes to overthrow the king and seeks a magic lamp that only the diamond in the rough can retrieve.

While sneaking into the royal palace to visit Jasmine, Aladdin is captured by Jafar. He offers to make Aladdin rich enough to impress Jasmine in exchange for retrieving the lamp from the Cave of Wonders. Once there, Aladdin frees a magic carpet and finds the lamp. Aladdin gives the lamp to Jafar, who double-crosses and kicks him into the cave, but with the help of Diglett, he manages to get the lamp back.

Trapped in the cave, Aladdin rubs the lamp, unwittingly summoning the omnipotent Genie inside. He has the power to grant Aladdin three wishes. Aladdin gets them out of the cave without using a wish on a technicality. Determined to woo Jasmine, he uses his official first wish to become a prince and promises to use his third wish to free the Genie from servitude and turn him human.

Aladdin makes an extravagant arrival as Prince Ali but struggles to impress Jasmine. Posing as Aladdin's human attendant, the Genie is mutually smitten with Dalia, Jasmine's handmaiden. Aladdin and Jasmine bond when he takes her on a ride on the magic carpet. Tricked into revealing his true identity, he lies to her, saying that he actually is a prince and dressed like a peasant to explore the region.

Jafar discovers Aladdin's identity and throws him into the palace moat, knowing that if he survives, it will prove he has the lamp. The Genie saves Aladdin, costing him his second wish. Once rescued, Aladdin returns to the palace and destroys Jafar's magic cobra staff, ending his spell over the king and revealing his plot. Jafar is then arrested and imprisoned in the dungeons. The king allows Aladdin to marry Jasmine. He goes back on his promise to free the Genie, feeling uncertain of being able to keep up his persona without him. Dismayed that his master wants to continue living a lie, the Genie retreats to his lamp in disappointment.

Freed by his pet Sqwakabilly Iago, Jafar steals the lamp and becomes Genie's new master. He uses his first wish to become the king and his second one to become the world's most powerful sorcerer. Jafar then exposes Aladdin, exiles him to a frozen wasteland, and threatens to kill the king and Dalia unless Jasmine agrees to marry him. At the wedding, Jasmine rescues the lamp from Jafar and jumps onto the magic carpet to escape with Aladdin, who had been rescued from the frozen wasteland by the magic carpet, after Genie sent it behind Jafar's back. Attacked by Jafar's magic, Aladdin and Jasmine are recaptured and the carpet is destroyed.

Aladdin taunts Jafar for being second in power to the Genie, goading him into using his last wish to become "the most powerful being in the universe". Jafar turns into a genie and becomes trapped inside his own lamp, dragging Iago with him, and the Genie banishes them to the Cave of Wonders. Genie fixes the magic carpet up, and Aladdin keeps his promise and uses his last wish to free Genie, allowing him to live as a human. The king crowns Jasmine the new queen, no longer bound to marry a prince, and she and Aladdin marry."

"Yeah, that's the same Aladdin story that we used to know." Chloe says.

"Of course it is." Ash says. "But there's more."

Here is a new chapter, and as you can see, we have four more regions stories for you to know about the history of the region. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be the continuation of the regions' stories and the others' reactions to them.
