The doctor is dispatched to the army, the corrupted officer is dismissed and never employed again, and Dox is executed for the crimes that he did. Sine's ghost can finally rest in peace after that."

"I think I've heard of this tale. How fitting for Dox to pay for his crimes." Gary says.

"Now we have the Dragon Type story: The Dragon Slayer." Ash says. "Because of the harmony with Dragon Type Pokemon, our ancestor has already chosen the King and the queen. They have a princess named Giselle who lives happily with her parents. She has a crush on a Dragon Tamer named Ash, however, he is just a nobody, and noble bloods like the queen and the king refuses to let them see each other. Instead, the king decides to force a marriage to his daughter with the princes of the other regions, and she rejects them all. Suddenly, a witch riding on the Hydreigon comes and grabs the princess, saying that their dragon is hungry for the princess' meat.

The kingdom has asked every prince to save Giselle, but all the princes are too frightened to go face the Dragon Witch. So the kingdom has fallen into depression. Ash, who isn't allowed to go to the castle to meet Giselle, hears the news of the princess' kidnap, he vows to bring her back, so he left the castle and heads toward the Dragon's den. On the way to the den, he meets an Eevee, who is injured and being chased by villagers. Ash comes and tells them to back off and gets away, even though he gets a beating, he knows how to be patient. Eevee then thanks Ash for saving her, so she joins Ash to save Giselle. Then, they meet the sword maker, he asks where are they going, and they say that they are saving the princess. The Sword maker then asks a question. How is he going to save the princess without a weapon? Ash then asks about the weapon, the sword maker then takes out all 5 swords, telling him if he is the Dragon Slayer, he can pick the right sword.

After Ash takes the right sword, he goes to the den. The witch has gathered an army of dragons to try to stop Ash, but all of them fail. Ash and Eevee reach the room where the princess and the witch are, he demands the witch release Giselle. The witch refuses and changes herself into a Mega Salamence. It has a fight with Ash and knocks his sword out. Just then, Eevee evolves into Sylveon, which starts to win against Salamence. And Ash uses the Sword to kill the dragon, ending the witch's life. He rescued the Princess and takes her back to her castle. The King and the Queen are sorry for their mistakes and have Ash marry Giselle, and Ash is the second ruler of the Dragon Region."

"How do you feel having the same name as the second Dragon King in the story?" Gary asks.

"I wonder if my mother gives me the name because of him." Ash shrugs.

"And now we have the Dark Region's story. The first king is Hansel Turner, he has a sister named Gretel Turner. Both of them are the young children of a poor woodcutter. When a famine settles over the land, the woodcutter's second wife tells the woodcutter to take the children into the woods and leave them there to fend for themselves, so that she and her husband do not starve to death. The woodcutter opposes the plan, but his wife claims that maybe a stranger will take the children in and provide for them, which the woodcutter and she simply cannot do. With the scheme seemingly justified, the woodcutter reluctantly is forced to submit to it. They are unaware that in the children's bedroom, Hansel and Gretel have overheard them. After the parents have gone to bed, Hansel sneaks out of the house and gathers as many white pebbles as he can, then returns to his room, reassuring Gretel that God will not forsake them.

The next day, the family walks deep into the woods and Hansel lays a trail of white pebbles. After their parents abandon them, the children wait for the moon to rise and then follow the pebbles back home. They return home safely, much to their stepmother's rage. Once again, provisions become scarce and the stepmother angrily orders her husband to take the children further into the woods and leave them there. Hansel and Gretel attempt to gather more pebbles, but find the front door locked.

The following morning, the family treks into the woods. Hansel takes a slice of bread and leaves a trail of bread crumbs for them to follow to return back home. However, after they are once again abandoned, they find that the Murkrows have eaten the crumbs and they are lost in the woods. After days of wandering, they follow a Bombirdier to a clearing in the woods and discover a large cottage built of gingerbread, cookies, cakes, and candy, with window panes of clear sugar. Hungry and tired, the children begin to eat on the rooftop of the house, when the door opens and a very old woman emerges and lures the children inside with the promise of soft beds and delicious food. They enter without realizing that their hostess is a bloodthirsty witch who built the gingerbread house to waylay children to cook and eat them.

The next morning, the witch locks Hansel in an iron cage in the garden and forces Gretel into becoming a slave. The witch feeds Hansel regularly to fatten him up but serves Gretel nothing but crab shells. The witch then tries to touch Hansel's finger to see how fat he has become, but Hansel cleverly offers a thin bone he found in the cage. As the witch's eyes are too weak to notice the deception, she is fooled into thinking Hansel is still too thin to eat. After weeks of this, the witch grows impatient and decides to eat Hansel, be he fat or lean.

She prepares the oven for Hansel but decides she is hungry enough to eat Gretel, too. She coaxes Gretel to the open oven and asks her to lean over in front of it to see if the fire is hot enough. Gretel, sensing the witch's intent, pretends she does not understand what the witch means. Infuriated, the witch demonstrates, and Gretel instantly shoves her into the hot oven, slams, and bolts the door shut, and leaves the ungodly witch to be burned in ashes. Gretel frees Hansel from the cage and the pair discover a vase full of treasure, including precious stones. Putting the jewels into their clothing, the children set off for home. A swan ferries them across an expanse of water, and at home, they find only their father; his wife has died from an unknown cause. Their father had spent all his days lamenting the loss of his children and is delighted to see them safe and sound. With the witch's wealth, they all live happily ever after. Our ancestor finds them and also make them the royalty of the Dark Region. But sadly, their descendants have become evil... until recently." Golly frowns.

"Yeah, I think we've heard about it from Terry." Gladion says.

"And now we have the Steel Region's story. Like the Dragon one, the Steel one is also chosen early, but the story comes from the second. Princess Turandot will marry only a suitor who can answer three secret riddles, and a lot of them fail in the end. However, there comes a man who manages to answer all of the riddles with ease, but the princess is stubborn and she refuses, so the prince decides to give her a riddle instead. If she can find out his name before dawn, he will drop the marriage proposal.

The Princess wants everyone to search for the man's name, and eventually, they find the maid of the man's house, who serves his blind father. They torture her to get his name, but she refuses and also states that she has a cold heart. After the death of the maid, people start to pity her, and the man decides to kiss the princess, who finally realizes that she loves him and tells her his name, and Turandot accepts the marriage proposal and they become the next rulers of the Steel Region."

"That sure is amazing." Chloe says. "But what about the Fairy Region? Since it is already full of Fairies."

"It will be the Little Red Riding Hood of course." Minami says, which causes them to get surprised.

"For real? How did she become the queen?" Serena asks.

"She likes to help others and she has a kind heart, that's why our ancestor decides to pick her. However, her story is famous when she is younger and not as a queen yet." Ash says.

"Okay... we know that she brings food to her sick grandmother's house, and she meets a Zoroark on the way, and the Zoroark decides to eat the grandmother and disguise himself using the Illusion, and once he also eats the Little Red Riding Hood, he sleeps and is noticed by a hunter, who comes into the house and save both of them from the stomach. Then they put rocks inside the stomach instead so that the wolf eventually drowns in the lake." Gary says.

"That's correct. And now you know the history of the United Region." Ash says.

"Yeah... it's so weird but also enjoyable." Dawn adds.

And here is the end of the history parts, I hope you like this chapter.
