1. Ash's Story (Part 0: Prologue)

Chapter 2

Three more years pass in a whirlwind of love and growth, as Aurora and Adam welcome three additional blessings into their expanding family: Mark, Trenor, and Insey. Insey and Trenor, born as twins, share an unbreakable bond, while Mark, though older than the twins, still falls within the tender embrace of youth, nestled between the older twins, Ash and Golly.

As Aurora rests with the weight of her pregnancy, Adam and Team Alpha embark on a monumental task: the official recognition of the Sevestar Region. Navigating the bureaucratic labyrinth of the Pokemon League Authority proves to be a formidable challenge, the sheer incredulity of a new region emerging seemingly out of thin air presenting a formidable obstacle. Yet, through meticulous documentation and unwavering determination, they overcome every hurdle, their efforts validated by thorough inspection and the scrutiny of the media.

Four years later, Aurora and Adam make the momentous decision to introduce Ash and Golly to the world beyond their secluded island sanctuary. With Mark, Insey, and Trenor entrusted to the care of Gina, Palmer, and Dia, respectively, they set forth on a journey back to the heart of Team Alpha, nestled within the familiar embrace of Pallet Town. As they arrive, a throng of well-wishers gathers, eager to catch a glimpse of the legendary duo.

"Welcome back, Adam, Aurora," greets Professor Samuel Oak, a stalwart ally and key member of Team Alpha. "I see you've brought along your little ones, Ash and Golly."

Aurora beams with pride as she introduces her children to the venerable Professor. "Yes, Professor. Ash, Golly, meet Professor Oak. He's renowned as the Pokemon Professor, with knowledge as vast as the ocean."

Ash and Golly greet the Professor with wide-eyed wonder, their youthful curiosity piqued by the prospect of meeting such a renowned figure. Professor Oak's warm smile reflects genuine admiration as he observes the familial resemblance between the children and their parents.

"Both of them truly carry your features," he remarks, his voice tinged with affection. "As much as I'd love to chat further, I'm sure there are many eager faces awaiting your arrival inside."

As the jubilant atmosphere of Team Alpha's reunion fills the air, laughter and camaraderie abruptly give way to tension and fear as the shadow of Team Rocket falls upon them like a dark omen. The sudden intrusion shatters the fragile peace, leaving chaos in its wake.

Giovanni, the sinister mastermind behind Team Rocket, strides confidently into their midst, his presence a menacing reminder of past conflicts and unresolved vendettas.

"I hope I'm not late for the party, am I?" Giovanni's voice drips with malice, his eyes gleaming with cruel amusement.

Aurora's defiance blazes like a beacon in the face of danger. "You... Just how many times do I need to tell you that I'm not your slave anymore?" Her words are a defiant retort, a testament to her unwavering resolve. "I found my real family, and Team Alpha is my real home!"

Adam's gaze hardens as he addresses his comrades, his voice edged with steel. "You shouldn't have known the location of our base as well. There's likely a spy within Team Alpha." With a swift glance towards Lusamine, he issues a directive. "Lusamine, help me take care of Ash and Golly, and keep an eye out for potential spies working for Team Rocket."

Lusamine nods solemnly, her maternal instinct kicking into gear as she leads Ash and Golly to the safety of the basement, shielding them from the impending storm.

In the dim confines of the basement, Ash's innocent voice breaks the tense silence. "Where are Mom and Dad? Who is that man outside?"

"He's a bad guy," Lusamine explains gently, her voice a soothing balm amidst the chaos. "Your Mom and Dad are trying to chase them away so they can't hurt us." Her words carry a promise of protection, a vow to safeguard the innocence of youth amidst the turmoil of conflict.
