Narrator : Last time we saw our heroes, Emily learns the true origin of her family, and thanks to Ash's surprise of controlling his aura, things wouldn't be the same again.

Serena also had a surprise of her own, announcing that Ash's old Sinnoh rival, Paul is actually her brother. 

Ash also met Solgaleo and Lunala, the Legendary Pokémon of Aloha Region, wanting him to take care of a Pokémon that could stop Giovanni's plans.   

Can Ash fulfill a promise to the Legendary Pokémon?

Let's find out! 

Anna

We waited for Ash and the others at the Pokémon School. Kiawe said, "It seems they are running late again." 

Gary shrug, "Well, it is Ash. It would be strange for him to be this late." 

Cilan notices them as Bonnie, Serena, Clement , Emily , and Brock arrived with their Pokémon. 

Misty pouts, "Where you guys been? We were searching everywhere all night!" 

Emily seems to sweat at the Water Gym Leader as she said, "I'm totally sorry that we made you all worried. 

It seems a lot of things have been happening so quickly, that we totally took a little detour." 

Max said, "Well, what happened? It couldn't be all that bad." 

Lana said, concurring with the young trainer, "Yeah, I mean it wouldn't be so dangerous in Aloha." 

"Well, about that..." Brock said, nervously. 

I was curious as Ash finally catches up with his Pikachu. "Sorry, I overslept at the Safe house."  

Emily rolls her eyes at her brother's attitude. "That is what you get for not paying attention. " 

"Thanks for the encouragement, Isabella." He groans as Sophocles said, wanting answers, "Don't leave us the suspense, guys!

Tell us what happened!"  

Ash said, "Giovanni escaped from Prison, guys. It seems like Team Rocket's not done with us yet." 

Max exclaimed, "After what Isabella's been though, can these guys take a hint?"

Lana asks, "What you mean? Who's Team Rocket?"

I ask, "Do you want the long version or the short version?"

"Short." 

"Ash had no idea that he and Emily were related, been hunted by Giovanni, who turns out to be their long-lost uncle, who tried to kill Emily in a fire,  got reunited when the Kalos League started, and find out their father is an Aura Guardian who was asleep in a place called Tree of Beginning and now is looking for revenge." Serena explains simply as Lana, Sophocles , and Lillie said, "Oh. "  

Ash touches the piece of Emily's backpack that he had worn for five years ago. I can tell that having to find out that Giovanni isn't just his enemy, but it is also his family relative. 

"That is just perfect. I guess having to relax in Aloha isn't going to be easy." May exclaimed. 

Lana claps her hands, "How about we try something to cheer everyone up for an Pokémon battle ?

Emily, you do want to start the Island Challenge didn't you?"

Emily blinks, "Yeah, I do want to. Why?"

That is when Lana chuckles, "Well, I'll be your opponent , because I'm the Island Trial Captain!" 

Everyone was shocked of that news. 

Ash

Lana is the Island Trial Captain?!? Whoa, I didn't know that. 

Isabella said, "How come you didn't mention it when I got the Z Crystal?" 

Lana rubs her head in total embarrassment, which is total understandable, since I know that one of my old rivals is actually one of the Trial Captains. 

"Well, that is great!" I exclaimed, "This is defiantly what we needed." 

Suddenly, the Pokémon, I decided to name it , "Nebby" came out of my backpack which startles everyone in total surprise!

"Nebby! I thought you were asleep!" I exclaimed as the Physic Pokémon floats in midair. 

The Pokémon laughs, "Seriously, Nebby, come back down here this instant! Geez, you remind me much of my Noivern when he was a Noibat."

The Pokémon finally obeys my command as it fell asleep in my arms. 

Pikachu sighs , "Pikachu." 

Lucario said, "It seems so much like a baby. You would say you act like you're his father." 

"Ash, what is that Pokémon?!?" Emily demands as her Pikachu sniffs him. 

"Uh, I think it's best for you not to know at the moment." I replied as I put Nebby back into my backpack so he can sleep peacefully.

I made a promise to Solgaleo and Lunala that I would take care of Nebby, and if he really is the savior of stopping Giovanni's plans, I have to keep him as a secret from the others. 

I thought in my mind, "How did Emily do it? How she was able to keep her identity as Isabella Satoshi for five years until the Kalos League began?" 

"Ash! Ash!" I turn to see Serena who was touching my hand, "You wanted to keep Nebby save from Giovanni , didn't you?

I can see it in your eyes. I wouldn't tell Emily and the others. " 

I was amazed of Serena of how she can sense what I was feeling. I guess that is one of the things of having the Kalos Queen as your girlfriend.

"Wow, thank you, Ser. It really meant a lot to me. I was entrusted by the legendary Solgaleo and Lunala , the Legendary Pokémon of Aloha, and I really don't want to let them down. It's a big deal." 

"Ash, if they entrusted you with the care of Nebby , I have no doubt you would. You're an incredible Pokémon Trainer, with the power of Aura. 

If you can handle with handling Aura, you can take care of Nebby with no worries. Besides you can't say no, wither it's a Pokémon or not." Serena reassures me. 

I chuckled , "I guess you do have a point. " 

Lana turns to Emily, "How about we do our Trial outside of the Pokémon School, tomorrow evening? 

I would like to battle you under one condition." 

Emily asks, "And what would that be?" 

"You battle as Isabella, your alias. I want to see her in action." 

I ask, "Lana, you sure you want to battle Isabella? She's an tough opponent." 

My sister said, "Deal! I wouldn't mind it at all. It has been a while I battled as Isabella Satoshi. I wouldn't hold anything back." 

Author's note: 

Lana reveals the shocking truth as she reveals she is a Island Trail Captain, and challenges Emily to a Pokémon Trail as Isabella Satoshi. 

Ash , considering of how to keep Nebby under control, not revealing the hidden truth about Solgaleo and Lunala came to him in a dream, entrusting him with full responsibility of taking care of him. 

Can he keep his promise a secret from the others?

How would Isabella and Lana's battle would be like?
