Alola League Champion Victory Party![Ended and Archived]

[Ashley✭Ketchum]

OOC: There won't be a battle in this thread  at all. The main focus of this thread is the postponed Victory Party for Ashley. It's just a hang out and relax thread. Yes the six Sailor Guardians that were involved in the final battle with Beryl will have memory leaks and wonder when the heck that happened. 


BIC: Two Months Ago...

Sailor Solaris is facing Queen Beryl/Metalia all alone after her allies have fallen, at least the Sailor Guardians of her Solaris Court, Sailor Titania, and Prince Shigeru. The Moon Kingdom Sailor Guardians, as well as Terrence, Ryuusei, Stephen/Machulk, and Rose were not involved in the Final Battle with Beryl much at all they were cleaning up Stray Youma. It is up to her to take down Queen Beryl/Metallia.  She has switched into her Princess Solaria Form: 

Queen Beryl is upset, all of her Dark Energy was gone because she used it all, she had enough Dark Energy to end Princess Solaria for good.  "Princess Solaria, I will not be humiliated by anymore Sailor Guardians whether they're from the Moon Kingdom or the Solaris Kingdom! I will finish you off once and for all!"

"We will just see about that Beryl I will take you down in honor of my friends that you knocked out! Time for you to say good bye!"

Queen Beryl/Metallia Cackled as she fired her biggest attack that she had ever done knocking Princess Solaria down to her knees.

"I will not give up! Please everybody give me your assistance! Please help me out!"  Princess Solaria Pleaded to the Spirits of her group.  A bright light shined and the Solaris Court Surrounded her on all sides. Even the spirit of her love Prince Shigeru appeared.

"As you wish Princess Solaria!" All the Spirits of her court and Prince Shigeru exclaimed as they all put their hands on her wand.

"Rhea Power!"

"Triton Power!"

"Ganymede Power!"

"Io Power!"

"Solar Prism Power!"

"Titania Power!"

Prince Shigeru smiled and hugged Princess Solaria over her shoulders and around her neck. Several lights surrounded her as Princess Solaria called on her Bronze Crystal and made a wish.

"Please Bronze Crystal grant my friends and me the life of normal girls and give Gare-Bear a normal life too. Please let them remember our friendship and how close we have been over the years. I also wish for everyone in the world to remember me as Ashley and not Ash. I was born a girl and am proud of it! Please make this happen I'm begging you. I also wish for Queen Beryl to finally Rest In Peace for good." Princess Solaria wished.

The Bronze Crystal Responded and granted her wish. From now on she will always be known as Ashley Satoko Ketchum a Young Lady from Pallet Town and nothing else. Though the Galactic Guardians of the Solaris Court would face bouts of DejaVu  whenever they encountered the Moon Kingdom Sailor Guardians. As for the Galactic Enforcers and Galactic Ambassadors, since they weren't involved in the final battle with Queen Beryl, except for Dawn, they remember being Sailor Guardians. Dawn was with Princess Solaria as Sailor Titania during the final battle with Beryl, so she was affected by Princess Solaria's wish. At the moment she is just a normal Pokemon Coordinator just like May and Darcy. Iris, Serena, and Zoey remembered their lives as Sailor Guardians because they weren't involved in the final battle when Princess Solaria made her wish.

The Dark Kingdom was defeated once and for all at last! While the Galactic Guardians and their allies remained close after this battle, any memory of Ashley, Darcy, Duplica, Casey, May, and Dawn being Sailor Guardians and Gary being Prince Shigeru/Silver Rose was forgotten for the time being. However, Ashley and Gary continued to date. The two have had crushes on each other since they born. The beginning of their Pokemon Journeys drove them apart making them rivals, while Ashley's defeat of Gary in the Johto League ended the rivalry. Though the two still love to tease each other.  Ashley and Company still keeps in touch with Usagi and the others because they became friends and promised to remain so no matter what. Especially Makoto and Casey. May continued to maintain contact with Minako, while Minako was careful not to mention anything about the Sailor Guardians.  Ashley and the Solaris Court as well as Dawn and Gary don't remember anything about their battles with Queen Beryl, Queen Metallia, and the Dark Kingdom. However, Teams Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Galactic, Plasma, Flare, and Skull still remained threats, but not to the extent of the Dark Kingdom. As for the Moon Kingdom Sailor Guardians, they were unaffected by Princess Solaria's wish as well. The same can be said about the Non-Sailor Guardian Allies that took part in the final battle with Beryl/Metallia and the Dark Kingdom. They were told by Princess Solaria to retreat while they still could.

Orion and Andromeda, the two Advisers of the Galactic Guardians were in a meeting with Misty and Giselle, Orion is the first to speak up, "well Beryl has been defeated thanks to Ashley's Bronze Crystal, however it came at a cost, Ashley, Darcy, Duplica, Casey, May, and Dawn don't remember being Sailor Guardians, and Gary has no idea he was Silver Rose."  Andromeda, Misty's Azumarril Adviser, continued where Orion left off, "so that means the Gate of Space is inaccessible until such time where  everyone gets their memories restored because of a major threat."


Two months would pass uneventfully, except for the long overdue Alola League Victory Party for Ashley.  Orion, and the Sailor Guardians of the Moon Kingdom as well as Zoey, Serena, and Iris made a pact never to speak of the Dark Kingdom or Sailor Guardian stuff in the company of Ashley, Gary, Darcy, Duplica, Casey, May, and Dawn. Little did Ashley and her Solaris Court as well as Dawn know, that the peace would not last forever, but the peace would last long enough for this victory party. 

[Ashley✭Ketchum]

Present Day...

Ashley was excited, she was finally getting her victory party for winning the Alola League after so long. Though, she couldn't quite put her finger on why it was delayed. She had invited everyone she had met since she got home from Alola. Her friends Misty, Giselle and Tetra thanked her for the invite, but said they couldn't make it. They promised the four of them would hang out sometime. She looked through her e-mail list and came across some names that she wasn't so sure that she knew. Though she knew Usagi and Setsuna somehow, she couldn't figure out how she knew Makoto, Rei, Minako, and Ami. She knew Stephen and Rose though as well as Ryuusei and Terrence. She sent e-mails to everyone she knew. She got an e-mail back from Zoey, Serena and Iris that they couldn't make it because they had to help three people by the name of Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru with errands. They didn't really say why they couldn't make it.

She anxiously awaited replies from everyone else she sent invited to. She knew May, Darcy, Duplica, Casey and Dawn would come, she also knew that Casey would be bringing her Girlfriend Makoto and figured someone would be bringing someone by the name of Ami with them as well. Gary was right there by her side holding her close. For some reason, over the last two months Ashley and Gary had gotten even closer than they had ever been. She was also happy that Gary finally admitted his feelings for her and they had been dating for nearly seven months now.

As Gary and Ashley were cuddling, May, Darcy, Casey, Dawn, and Duplica had arrived.

"Hey guys! What do you think of my outfit?" Ashley asked as she posed. She looked like this: 

"You're very pretty!" May and Company exclaimed as they hugged her.

Gary chuckled and held Ashley close to him, "well I think you are down right beautiful Ashy-Girl."  Gary and Ashley then passionately kiss as they wait for others to arrive. 

Ashley giggled as she returned Gary's kiss. "Tee-hee, thanks Gare-Bear."  Ashley then laid her head on Gary's shoulder 


She didn't know why, but she somehow knew to expect a lot of guests. She made sure Deliah knew about it.  She also couldn't help but wonder if any of her Alola friends were coming as well. It would be kind of a drag if they didn't though, considering that she spent a lot of time with her Alola friends when she was staying in Alola and going to the Pokemon School with everyone.

Casey anxiously awaited her love to arrive along with some of her friends.


OOC: Everybody who wants to take part in this thread. 

[R-F]

The white van came to a screeching halt! Ryuusei emerged and walked around back, he opened the doors and pulled out keg after keg after keg...after keg... of beer. "Refreshments have arrived!"

[sportsnutd]

Makoto and Ami came up and went to see Ashley and everyone.

Ami went inside and said hello to everyone.

Makoto saw Casey and ran to her picking her up with a twirl or two and set her down. "So, where are you guys hiding the champ huh?"

Stephen was close behind smiling to them as he got close...he was...wearing a jacket?? and he looked like he gained some weight but the real truth was that his Eevee, Mimi was in there being as quiet as she could be...

[Ashley✭Ketchum]

Esperina is with Ashley and Gary as her ears twitch along with Umbreon's. "What is it Esperina?" Ashley asked toward her Eevee Evolution."

"Espy!" Runs off toward Stephen followed closely by Gary's Umbreon.

"Esperina/Umbreon get back here!" Ashley and Gary said as they ran off toward where their Eevee Evolutions were.

"Oh hey Stephen," Ashley said with a smile as she ran, then continued glad you could make it to the party. Looks over toward the Beer Kegs that Ryuusei brought, "Ryuusei, you have got to be kidding me! There aren't too many of us that are old enough to drink Beer."

"Calm down Ashy-Girl," Gary said as he held Ashley close, "Ryuusei is just trying to make his contribution."

Ashley sighs contentedly as she calms down and relaxes in Gary's strong arms, "Sorry."

Casey heard Ashley's voice as she was set down, "Mako-Chan, the Champ is right over there." Casey then points to Ashley relaxing in her loves arms with a big smile on her face. Ashley waves at Mako-Chan and Ami, "Hey Mako-Chan, hey Ami-Chan, where are the others?"

Rei then came onto the seen with some Tortilla Chips and Salsa as she spoke up, "Hey Ash, congrats on winning the Alola League, I'm not really sure if Usagi, Minako, and Setsuna are coming. I know that Iris and Hotaru aren't going to be able to make it and I also heard from Serena and Zoey, they won't be able to make it either."

"Oh well, that stinks, but at least Misty:  Giselle:  and Dawn:are here. Duplica and Darcy also came as well."  Ashley said to the group and noticed May's Glaceon also ran over to where Esperina and Umbreon were.

Ashley took notice of this and asked Stephen a question, "Stephen why are all of our Eevee's hovering around you?"

OOC: Anyone

[sportsnutd]

Stephen watched at the Eevee family came running around him and smiled. When Ashley came over and asked him questions he said, "Um...thier saying hello?? ok..ok...maybe I should let the cat out of the jacket..well...the Eevee out!" Stephen unzipped the jacket and an Eevee popped out and shook its fur for a second then looked at the others, "Eevee Eve..." or hello..."Guys...this is Mimi my female Eevee!" Stephen smiled happily as Mimi ran around playing with her brothers and sisters.

Makoto grinned as she held Casey close, "HEY CHAMP!! GREAT JOB OUT THERE!!!"

Ami smiled as well to Ashley and the others and giggled at Stephen as he revealed his new pokemon.

[T.K.]

Having received the invitation Terrence had mulled over going for some time, usually he only went into the city to restock on supplies or stop by for meetings in regards to actual threats to people of the city and the such, purely social events were outside his typical breadth of experience and would be something he'd admit is something he could probably stand to work on. Thus he found himself taking to the rooftops which was probably a somewhat regular sight by this point given this was his usual mode of getting around nowadays, didn't have to deal with pedestrians or traffic not to mention it was good training! He paused for a moment atop a tall office building and rubbed his chin thoughtfully "Now..where were we meeting again?"

With a sigh he shook his head "I've always been awful with directions, but then again my sense of direction seems to have corrected slightly since arriving on this world, before I'd probably be in an entirely different city by this point.." he mused to himself as he remembered where he needed to go and could finally pick up on familiar life signatures and homed in on the gathering celebratory group.

[Ashley✭Ketchum]

After the introduction of Stephen's newest Pokemon had been made, Ashley, Darcy, Duplica, Casey, May, and Dawn had a memory flash as they all six held their heads at once. Their respective symbols flashed for a split second on their foreheads.

"NO, PLEASE, DID THIS REALLY HAPPEN?!" All six of them chimed in shock together, not believing what was flashing through their minds. However, just as fast as their symbols flickered, they vanished just as fast and the six girls were all better.

Gary was having the same type of vision, only it was of him brutally attacking some girl that looked like Ashley all decked out in a Princess Dress with a Bronze Crystal glowing. His symbol flashed, and disappeared just as fast.

"Um what was that?" Gary asked as he held tight to Ashley for dear life.

"You too?" Ashley asked her love, then continued, "what the heck was that? Was it a dream, a vision, or a memory?"

Ashley and Gary just pushed them off as a part of their imagination. None of that actually happened did it? Dawn and the other five girls did the same thing as Ashley and Gary did, they pushed it off as part of their imagination.

"Anyway, let's get this party started!" Ashley exclaimed, she then got more serious, "We have to keep an eye out for Jigglypuff though."


Ashley and company didn't want to get drawn on by Jigglypuff again. That has happened way too many times since their journeys have begun.  Ashley was holding her trophy as she took out five Pokeballs, the Pokeballs of the other five Pokemon that helped her win the Alola League and told Esperina, Charizard, Squirtle, Goodra, and Greninja to go back to into their Pokeballs.  They nodded and Ashley transported them to Professor Oak in the Lab.

Ashley was holding Pikachu in her hands in front of her chest, while Naganadel, Melmetal, Lycanroc(Dusk Form), Incineroar, and Rowlet surround her on all sides.

Ashley giggled and smiled as her team surrounded her. Even Kukui, Burnet, Lillie(*See OOC Note down below), Lana, Mallow, Sophocles, and Kiawe made their way to Pallet Town to congratulate her and join in the festivities. Word travels fast around this world as all the friends and rivals Ashley encountered over the years made their way to Pallet Town because they had received invitations as well. She really wanted to see Usagi, Minako, and the others as well though. It was a bummer they were so busy. She had invited Zoey, Serena, Iris, Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, and Setsuna as well.

OOC: Tag everyone there, most of the characters I mentioned that haven't been played much or at all in this game are just there for the party. Lillie is an NPC at the moment until Cure Waffle comes back from his hiatus. Since I don't know much about what her Powers are as Cure Grace, she will not be using those powers at all until Cure Waffle returns. Anyone can control her and the other characters I mentioned. Ashley has had a lot of rivals over the years and because of the wish she made on the Bronze Crystal, everyone remembers her as Ashley Ketchum, a girl, not as Ash Ketchum, a guy. Just thought I would clear that up for you.

[T.K.]

(Not sure how far Pallet Town would be away from Tokyo so I'm going to use the magic of hand waving to say Terrence eventually finds his way over )

Arriving in pallet town was a bit further of a trek than he was used to on average but Terrence figured at the very least he could come congratulate Ashley on her victory, he had been keeping to himself quite a lot since the girls had their final conflict with Beryl since his particular skill set wasn't in high demand after the attacks sopped and the girl's memories had been sealed. He however took that time to further his own training and chi manipulation skills so if another threat comes up he'd still have his edge.

For now however he was going to a party and had to keep in mind to not make any Senshi related commentary and instead just focus on congratulating! As he finally got within a couple blocks away from the party he slowed his pace and walked the last blocks normally since he didn't wanna cause any surprises, they were normal girls at the moment so he was being paranoid about avoiding jostling memories unaware that it was already happening. As he finally got within comfortable calling distance he finally spoke up "Its been a while, congratulations on your victory Ashley." he said with a friendly smile as he approached offering a nod to the other assorted girls and guys.

[Ashley✭Ketchum]

OOC: Lillie is not available to NPC for this Thread. The other Alola characters are though.

Ashley squealed, "Thank you so much everyone! I worked really hard to win this League! Thanks for all of your support through the years, and thanks for the support that the other that I just met not too long ago gave me in everything I've done since I returned to Kanto. Wait, what have I done anyway? I feel like I just accomplished something else big besides my Alola League Victory. What is going on here?"

Dawn, Darcy, Duplica, Casey, May, and Gary were wondering the same thing. These visions the seven have been having of dying and coming back to life have been disturbing them for quite sometime. This didn't feel well for the seven heroes. Their heads were hurting and they didn't know why. The group of seven was holding their heads as their various symbols glowed brightly on their heads. Orion couldn't take the pain his friends were experiencing anymore. His Crescent Moon Mark appeared on his forehead and he spoke out loud to the group of six girls and one guy. "i'm sorry everybody, but I can't stand seeing all of you in pain anymore!"

"Ashy-Girl did Pikachu just talk?!" Gary asked his love. The others were wondering the same thing.

"He just did." Ashley said with a curiously look in her eyes.

"I'm sorry everyone, but I can't stand seeing my friends like this anymore." Orion said as he sent a beam of golden light into the foreheads of the six girls and one guy. Everything came rushing back, them gaining their powers, them fighting evil, them finding out that Ashley was Princess Solaria and that Gary was Prince Shigeru and that Ashley and Gary were destined to be together like Usagi and Mamoru. Everything. All the visions they've been having were memories, not dreams or visions.

Once the light show died down, everything was crystal clear to them now. They were Guardians of the Earth, the Galaxy and the universe. They were destined to protect the whole Galaxy from threats inside and out. They were the Galactic Guardians. They remembered everything. However, this didn't get Ashley down at all. She really enjoyed getting her memories back. Little did she know that her, her Court, and her other Allies would soon come face to face with a new thread in just a months time.

Ashley hugged Orion tight and smiled at him, "I'm so glad I can talk to you again!"

"Yay, Ash you're back! Thank Arceus!" Orion exclaimed as he nuzzled everyone that just got their memories back, paralyzing everybody but Ashley.

OOC: Everyone.

[sportsnutd]

Stephen watched the whole scene play out and smiled for his friends. "I'm very glad you all have your memories back. I think this will all turn out well this time." When Orion jumped on him, he kindly to the nuzzle as he was paralyzed for a moment and he was smiling making it look silly.

[sportsnutd]

Makoto, Ami, and Stephen smiled happily as the Eevee's played then the saw the others get their memories back. Other then Ashley, Stephen might have been the happiest one there at least since Mimi hatched but for now, he was just enjoying the company.

[R-F]

Ryuusei smirked at Gary's confusion after hearing Orion speak. "Naw, you're just hearing things." He walked over to the open back door of his van. "Why don't we just take a ride, here I got this nice coat for ya!" And pulled out a straight jacket.

When it was finally over, he went behind the yellow pokemon and bent down. "Admit it, you were just sick of sayin' 'Pika Pika' all the time, and didn't want it to be weird when the next time 'that cat' came around, you telling him to 'shove a fishbone up your ass!' Am I right?"

[sportsnutd]

Makoto, Ami, and Stephen went to go sit down and relax a little hopefully after so much had happened so quickly and they wanted to let the others do what they needed to and ask people questions if it was needed...and Stephen thought or maybe knew that it needed.

[T.K.]

Unable to resist laughing as Ryu revealed the beer kegs in his van Terrence waved at him before turning with his brows raising at the moment Orion spoke as he remembered that he shouldn't be doing so just yet considering Ashley hadn't regained her memories as of yet. He hummed thoughtfully was he watched Orion restore the girls memories in what he thought was a somewhat selfish fashion as the children had been enjoying regular life and with these memories restored very likely going to be forced back into danger at some point. He let out a muffled sigh as it seemed like at the very least Ashley and them were not upset at the sudden recovery of memories and were instead thankful even as Ryuusei started to heckle the animal in good nature commenting about finally being able to talk to 'that cat'.

That being said he found himself wandering to the opened van door as he shot Ryuusei a glance "Y'know its a good thing there isn't any law enforcement around here right now..I suspect you'd have to be answering some questions about havin all this booze on hand around minors.." he mused even as he grabbed a cup and poured himself a beer from one of said kegs taking a long sip from it. "..eh I've had better."

[Ashley✭Ketchum]

Ashley smiled at everything that had come into her mind after her and the others memories were restored. She was so happy that most of the people she encountered in the past were here. Paul went over to her and looked her over. He was amazed, last thing he remembered was her still having short hair. He didn't remember her dressing like a guy. He never really thought she was cross dressing. He just thought she didn't really like skirts and stuff. She certainly has changed a lot over time. She even had a boyfriend. He looked toward Ashley and smiled, "So Ash, how hard were the trials in Alola. It must've been hard for you to get through all of them. What else did you do when you were in Alola?"

Ashley smiled toward Paul, he had really mellowed out since their full battle in the Sinnoh League. He seemed much more relaxed than he was the last time she saw Paul in Sinnoh. "You seemed to have mellowed out a little bit Paul. I never ever saw this side of you when we were rivals in Sinnoh."

Paul chuckled, then smiled, "After our battle in the Sinnoh League and the closing ceremonies, I went back home to Veilstone City. Reggie and I had long talk. He taught me to be a bit more relaxed on my training techniques. I realized the error of my ways and didn't take my Pokemon for Granted as much. You really helped me in that area. Thank you so much for helping me."

Ashley giggled and smiled as she turned to Gary and introduced him to Paul, "Gare-Bear, this is my primary Sinnoh Rival, he's from Veilstone City. His name is Paul Shinji. Just like I did with you, I beat him in the Quarterfinals in the Sinnoh League. I finished in the top four in Sinnoh. I kind of took a step back in Unova before making it to the finals in Kalos and finishing in the top two there. You know the rest of my story as far as Alola is concerned."

Gary smiles at his Girlfriend and holds her close, "I sure do Ashy-Girl, I can definitely tell you've improved a lot since our battle in the Johto Silver Conference. So shall we go see how your mom is doing with everything, maybe offer her a helping hand?"

Ashley nods as her and Gary wave goodbye to Paul after exchanging pleasantries with him to see if they could help out any.

**************************************************************************************************************************************

Orion then looks at Ryuusei and then at the rest of the group before jumping up onto his shoulders and whispering in his ears, "I was kind of tired of saying Pika Pika all the time that's for sure, but when I saw Ash and the others in pain from the memories that assaulted them, I had to do something. It was hurting me seeing them like that. I wasn't going to restore their memories until later, but I decided to do so ahead of time. So how have you been?"

**************************************************************************************************************************************

All the Eevee Evolution hung out and played together just having a good old time.

***************************************************************************************************************************************

OOC: Everyone

[sportsnutd]

Stephen was just hanging out in his chair watching everything...

**************************************************************
*in Stephen's mind*

*Whispering voice surrounded by the sound of fire and ambulances*

"SISTER...SISTER...SISTER....Sister...Sis..."
************************************************************************************

Stephen had a distressed look on his face and he stopped smiling for a few moments...


(NOTE: This post is for this thread but at the same time it connects something in Stephen's backstory to another thread. dont be alarmed.)

[Ashley✭Ketchum]

The rest of the party went off without a hitch, Ashley got some great presents and even got several different types of Pokeballs that she could use as she continued her journey. She got all kinds of outfits that she could wear at different times. Her favorite was the one that Lillie had helped her pick out on their shopping trip before they went to Galar last time. Ashley decided that she would definitely visit Galar again and take part in the Champion Cup there. Her and her friends really didn't have much time to enjoy their time in Galar because they were fighting the Dark Kingdom all the time. Hopefully, the next time she and her friends went to Galar, she would actually be able to relax. However something told her that the next time she went to Galar would be even harder to relax than it was before.

OOC: This ends the thread. Thank you very much for those who participated in it! ~Ashley✭Ketchum
