Ash

When I came back to the base, I was actually quite nervous as everyone was wondering what happened in Prism Tower.

Bonnie said, "All right, start talking, Ketchum!"

I looked at Greninja for help, since he was the one with me after the explosion of the Aura.

"Ash, just tell them what happened. I'm sure they'll understand."  The Water Pokémon said, trying to cheer me up.

I sighed as I clear my throat to tell them what happened to Greninja and me.

"Ok, it was when I was up in Prism Tower. Lysandre ordered Red to kill me."

Red said, "I'm so sorry, Ash! I didn't know what I was doing! I was-"

"I know. You were controlled by Lysandre. What did he do to you?" I asked my older brother with a curious look, wondering how Lysandre controlled him.

Red had an nervous expression of his face, as if remembering what happened to him was quite terrifying.

"After we had our talk, Lysandre's Pokémon grabbed me and took me to Prism Tower.

He had this machine, and he said it was the same one to mind controlled Zygarde."

We exchanged glances as Red was confused of our silence.

"What? Was it something I've said?" He asks.

Bonnie spoke up, "Unfortunately, yes. Alain, Ash, Clement, Serena and I knew what that machine can do. It did controlled Squishy and Z2, and nearly destroyed the Kalos Region. I can't believe it."

I said, "Neither can I. No wonder Arceus sent me away for five years to become a Pokémon Guardian in the first place."

Dawn asks, "Was it possible that Arceus knew this could happen?" 

Bonnie

Ooh... it's quite spooky that of what happened to Red when Lysandre took him.

"Well, that could explain how you were evil and almost killed Bonnie." Ash recalled, leaving me behind.

Max said, "Ok, now we knew that Lysandre wanted to rebuild the Pokémon World, what happened to you, Ash?"

I was wondering the same thing as everyone else. "Yeah, what did happened?"

Ash sighs, "You know that a Pokémon Guardian has to protect the Pokémon and Trainers, right?"

We nodded, remembering it was Ash's duties as a Pokémon Guardian.

"Well, there is another part I didn't tell you. I also had the power to banish Trainers and their Pokémon, but it contains a lot of my Aura."

We yelled, "What?!?"

He rubbed his head, "Yeah, sorry about that. But if I told you, you guys wouldn't go with it."

Serena said, "I can't believe you had that plan hidden."

"Like I've said, I knew you guys including you, wouldn't approve of it."

"So... you were able to wipe Lysandre and his Pokémon, where did they go?" Max asks.

"Someplace that they couldn't escape from." Ash replies.

"Oh." Dawn replies.

"It took me a while to get all my Aura to get Red back and banish Lysandre."

"Oh, so that explains why you didn't want to say anything back there!" I realized of how smart Ash was.

"Yeah, after that explosion, Greninja and I were in a different place. We had no idea where we are.

Also... someone special seen us in our Journeys, Red." Ash explains.

Red

I was confused of what Ash meant. Someone been watching us? I knew that Delia told Ash to give up his dream of being a Pokémon Master, which I thought was not right to me.

Then it hit me. Was Ash meant what I think it means?

"You met him, didn't you?" I asked, in disbelief.

Ash begins to smile as if I got the answer right.

"Yeah I actually did meet him, he's been watching us the whole time and we didn't realize it." The Guardian replies with a sheepish grin.

Bonnie asks, "What you mean?"

"Our Father. He... um, left us when we were little. We didn't know what happened to him, but Delia told us that he was a Trainer."

"But where is your Dad now?" Max asks.

"He's out there. He told me himself." Ash said.

"You're going back to the Hall of Trainers with Lucario, aren't you?" Serena asks Ash.

Suddenly, Ash laughs.

"What's so funny?" Serena asks, feeling mad.

"I'm not going back to the Hall of Trainers." Ash said. "I'm staying."

"You mean it?!?" Bonnie asks, hoping it would be true.

"Definitely." Ash reassures her.

"Well, this sounds like we should have a special celebration!" I declared as I unleash my Pokémon to join the party.

Ash said, "I'll join you in a moment. I want to be alone with Max here."

We give them some space. It gave me wondering of what they are talking about.
