~With Red, Leaf, Jessie and Spark~

Spark still couldn't believe it. His own mother and girlfriend were attacking them, like they were the enemies. 

Jessie notices her cousin's emotion of the sudden attack by his loved ones. "Spark, are you ok?" She asks him. 

The sixteen year old looked at his cousin in a serious expression, "Does it look I'm ok? I was almost killed by my own mother and girlfriend! 

I don't know what is going on, and it is drives me insane! " 

Red said, "I know it's a lot to deal with, I mean, I kind of get it. If I discovered that my own mother was acting strangely , I couldn't just stand and do nothing." 

Leaf sighs at Red, "That is not encouraging, Red, not by a long shot. I'm sorry, sometimes he gets overboard." 

"Hey! I don't go overboard! " Red said, but knew that Mekhi wanted to see Spark quickly as possible , so he took a deep breath before deciding to drop a major bombshell on him. 

"Spark, there is a reason that your mother and Persia is acting this way, but we can't talk here, they might come back. " 

Jessie asks, "What you mean, that Serena and Persia is not actually doing this on purpose?" 

Leaf pulled Red aside, to talk to him, as she said, "Are you positive of letting Spark see him? It's a big risk." 

"Look, Headmaster Mekhi wants us to help Spark anyway we can, and maybe he can tell us more of our mission with them. I mean, what's the harm?" Red said. 

Leaf was unsure of letting Spark see Mekhi again, but she knew that Red had a point. Red and Leaf knew that Mekhi sent them on a mission , but they don't know the full story. 

"Spark, Jessie, you should come with us to the Sinnoh Region." Red said, which led Spark and Jessie speechless. 

"To the Sinnoh Region? Why we have to travel there?" Spark asks , which Pichu was looking at Red with a caution face. 

The trainers follow Red and Leaf, as they were amazed and awe of the building. 

Jessie asks, "Is this a Pokémon Investigator HQ?"

Leaf said, "Uh, duh. Every Region has one. But this is the main HQ, and we trainers are welcome here." 

Spark said, before entering, "A-Are you sure that we should be here? We should've at least introduce ourselves first!" 

Red and Leaf enter Mekhi's office, as he was looking at the window, "It has been a long time , Spark. I'm glad you're ok." 

Spark's eyes widen as he recongizes the voice. "No way. Giovanni?"

Mekhi gave a friendly smile as he said, "Yeah, it's me, Spark Ketchum. " 

Mekhi's agent places tea for them, "So, you decided to become an Pokémon Investigator Headmaster in the Sinnoh Region? It seems like a big job for you." Spark said to his former enemy.

Mekhi chuckled, "Well, it wasn't that hard to do the paperwork, but I tried my best I can. 

Besides, I have some intel on what happened to your mother and Persia. They have been chosen to be hosts for an Ultra Beast, called Nihilego ." 

Red asks, "Headmaster Mekhi, what's an Ultra Beast? Is it some sort of Pokemon?"

"Yes, but more dangerous than a cloned Pokémon or a legendary Pokémon like Entei, the one that Spark had battled when Ash was under controlled by "The Project Chosen." 

Jessie said, "Awe that's just perfect! I thought that things wouldn't get any worse than having a father-son battle." 

"The Ultra Beast came from a warmhole, called , "The Ultra Warmhole, which is where the Pokémon lives. 

For that reason, the person who wanted to opened it and take over the world by using the Ultra Beasts by force is a woman named Lusamine , leading a team called "Team Rainbow Rocket, or Team RR for short. 

Lusamine also has a daughter name Latifa, but she happens to be your younger sister, Spark. Lusamine took her away, hoping to reviving the Key of Beginning." 

"The Key of Beginning? What's that?" Spark asks, but then Persian spoke up, "It's a hidden power that has been carried out through the Ketchum Family. It's a piece of the Tree of Beginning.

Your grandfather, Richard Ketchum possessed the Key of Beginning since Lady Irene's descendant ruled Cameran Palace. 

Richard died to protect the Key from going into the wrong hands. Delia also possess it, but asks Serena to gave it to the youngest child to protect it.

Lusamine jumped the chance when Serena gave birth to the two of you, she erased the memories that she gave birth to two children, thinking that she raised one . " 

Leaf said, "How horrible, kidnapping really is part of the family." 

Spark stands up, "Stealing my mother is one thing, but erasing her memories of her daughter, my own sister is unacceptable! 

I'm going to rescue them all! Latifa, Mom, and Persia, I'm going to rescue you from Team RR, I'm sure of it!" 

Mekhi, Jessie, Red, and Leaf looked at each other for a bit, but then laughed. 

"There is no doubt about it. You're really are an spitting image of Ash." Jessie said, "You're not alone, Spark. I'm here to rescue them too." 

"So are we. Besides, now we're friends, I'm not going to let you have all the glory." Red smirks as Leaf rolls her eyes at him. 

"Here, I have some updated Pokedex and some Ultra Pokeballs. You'll might need the Pokeball to save Persia and Serena. " 

"Gee, thanks, Giovanni." Jessie said. 

"You can call me Mekhi, that's my real name. " Mekhi said. 

"Ok, Mekhi. Ooh, that's going to be getting used to." Spark said, using Giovanni's real name for the first time. 

The group leaves Mekhi's office as Spark thought back before leaving. 

"You want us to travel to Aloha Region? That's where Gary, James and Meowth are right now!" Jessie said. 

"They might help you on your journey, considering when you tell them about me and everything you've learnt here, it would be a great asset for you of locating Lusamine and possibly save your family and Persia. " 

"I hope that Gary wouldn't be too pissed if he finds out I'm going there." Leaf said , as Jessie asks, "How come? You haven't met Gary Oak before, haven't you?"

She was silent, but as Spark, Jessie and Red seem to know something was up.

The airplane fly over as Spark still couldn't believe that he had a special magical family. 

"Is something bothering you, man?" Red ask. 

"Just thinking. I mean, my world just literally turned upside down. First I reunited with my father for so long, now I found out that I happened to be a big brother to a sister that I never knew existed?

I'm not sure if Dad can handle that. I'm going to lie to him about this." 

"Are you sure that hiding the truth from Ash is a good idea, Spark? I mean , he has the right to know this too." Red said, shocked of his friend's decision.

"Just trust me on this, Red. Ash has been through a lot since finding out he has a son, he'll freak to discover he has a daughter too. " Spark reminds him. 

~With Gary, James and Meowth~

Gary walked with James and Meowth as they travel through the silent streets of Aloha. James looked at Gary as he said, "It's hard to believe that you have a lot of papers to do research on the Alohan Pokémon. " 

The Pokémon Researcher said, "It's not easy, I have to admit that, but with you and Meowth helping me on my research, things should be a breeze." 

James sighs, "I'm still can't believe that Jessie is part of Ash's family! It's quite a shock to me." 

Meowth nodded, concurring with him, "Yeah, but also , Spark had been through a lot too. He's been alone for ten years and Boss kept Ash as an experiment to take over the world, remember?"

Gary sighs, "Don't remind me. I'm still in total shock too. I have known Ash ever since we were kids, I never thought he would have a child." 

The trio sighs as they noticed the Pokémon Guardian, Topo Kopo. 

"Whoa! That's the Deity Pokémon Guardian Topo Kopo! What is it doing here?" James asks. 

"Let's find out!" Gary said. To their surprise, they discover a hole in the sky!

"What is that?" Meowth asks, as they saw Persia and Serena came out of it!

"Madam Lusamine is determined to get Ash's attention. Let's destroy this place." Persia said.

"Persia, Serena!" Gary yells as Persia chuckles, "Oh, some company. How cute. Ursaring, use Earthquake." 

The trio jumped from the attack. "What was that about?!?

"Charizard, use Seismic Toss!" A familiar voice said. 

It was Spark! 

Spark jumped from Charizard's back as he said, "That's enough, Persia! I know what's going on! You have to snap out of it!" 

The girl next to him which made Gary to be in awe said, "Yeah, stop this madness!" 

"Spark, Leaf." Gary said. 

"It's no fun. We'll have our real battle soon." Serena said as Spark and Leaf sigh. 

"Hey! You left me behind? That's uncool, guys!" 

"Jessie, you're here!" Meowth said. 

She pants, "Yeah, but man, Spark, you and Leaf are fast. Red made the hotel reservations at the Pokémon Center, he's waiting." 

"Yeah, sorry. " Spark sweats . He turns to the group, "We need to talk. "

So, Spark explained in full detail of what's going on, as Gary , James and Meowth listened in on Spark's story.

"So, Serena and Persia is being hosted by an Ultra Beast, and Latifa holds The Key of Beginning, and Lusamine erased the connection between Mother and daughter. Sounds like another threat in our Pokémon World again." James sighs.

"I can't believe Giovanni, I mean , Mekhi, works as a Pokémon Investigator now. It seems whatever you said to him that day changed him." Gary said.

"Yeah, took me by surprise too. Although, I have experienced of not knowing the truth before, now it's personal. I'm not going to lose my entire family, not like this." Spark declared. 

"It's not going to be easy , that's a fact. We'll have to figure out a way to defeat Nihilego and save Persia and Serena from being the hosts ." 

"What about Latifa? We have to help her realize that Lusamine isn't her real mother as well. " Leaf points out. 

"Leave that part to me. I'm her older brother. Besides, I would do an absolutely insane idea. " Spark said which left everyone speechless for a moment, but then sigh. 

"Of course you would. You're the spitting image of Ash." Gary said, laughing.  

"Seriously, you guys! You honestly trying to make fun of me right now, because that's not funny!" The sixteen year old trainer blushed furiously. 

But the group knew that the reality seems to be impossible, but they know Ash would try to stop them. 

"Ash doesn't know about all of this, right? Should we tell him?" James asks. 

"No! Not yet! He'll freak out for sure. I want to do this on my own, just don't tell him. Do it for me, promise me you'll not tell him." Spark pleaded. 

The group exchanged looks at each other, as they see the similarity between father and son. 

"All right, Spark. If that is the way you want it, we'll keep it quiet until drastic measures. " Gary said. 

Spark sighs, in total relief, "Thanks. "
