"Well, if we want this town to become famous, relying on my popularity alone won't be enough," Ash said calmly. "It needs its own defining characteristics."
"I've already thought of names as well. The island will be called Fantasy Island. The town itself will be Maple Leaf Town, and the forest on the opposite side will be known as Dream Forest."
With that, Ash announced the names he had prepared.
This small island—still unknown to the world—would one day become a legendary place where Pokémon and humans truly coexisted in harmony.
"Master," Serion Draconis said after a brief pause, nodding respectfully. "These plans already involve the interests of several major families. I believe you'll need to personally step forward and negotiate—especially with the Joy family."
As Ash's chief steward, Serion understood his responsibilities better than anyone.
"I'll leave that to you," Ash replied with a nod. "For now, I'll focus on completing the island's infrastructure. The negotiations can be handled a few days before Fantasy Island officially opens."
Ash was fully aware of the situation.
Even with his current influence, he couldn't act recklessly. While he wasn't afraid of backlash, he understood that public perception changes quickly—and becoming a prominent figure always came with a price.
In truth, most of the technological developments weren't particularly shocking on their own.
The real problem lay with the medical products.
The new pharmaceuticals would completely overturn the existing market, placing the Joy family—who had long monopolized medical supplies—under enormous pressure. If negotiations failed, the Joy family would suffer devastating losses.
Yet Ash had no intention of wiping them out.
After all, Nurse Joy existed in every region. People were used to seeing her the moment they entered a Pokémon Center. That deeply ingrained trust wasn't something that could be replaced overnight.

Storage Scroll Technology
The Storage Scrolls were priced according to internal space and allowed items to be sealed and carried with ease.
Ash didn't introduce every technological product in detail.
Still, once this information reached the other major families, it caused an immediate uproar. Every family wanted a share of the profits. After all, neither the Draconis family nor the Oak family could possibly monopolize everything.
As previously mentioned, the Kanto Region was vast. Each of the eight major families controlled its own territory. Anyone wishing to sell products within those regions would need to pay a corresponding share.
After reviewing the information, every major family gave the same response:
They would arrive at Fantasy Island three days before its official opening.
Storage Scroll Details
Ash had already begun mass-producing the Storage Scrolls.
Originally, they required chakra to store and retrieve items. However, Ash had refined the process. Now, all that was needed was to touch the central sealing rune to activate it.
To retrieve items, the user simply opened the scroll and placed their palm on the rune for identity verification—functionally similar to fingerprint authentication, though far more secure.
Each scroll was bound to a single user and could not be transferred.
Although it appeared that the rune merely scanned the palm, it actually absorbed a trace of mental energy. Without this connection, the scroll could not be used at all.
The scrolls available for sale came in four sizes:
50 cubic meters
100 cubic meters
150 cubic meters
200 cubic meters
Meanwhile, 300-cubic-meter scrolls were reserved by Ash as exclusive gifts.
Other than Ash himself, no one could access another person's scroll—unless they forcibly captured the owner and compelled them to press their hand against the rune.
In terms of security, the Storage Scrolls were nearly flawless.
For the major families, this technology was irresistible. Their only concern was how to store their most precious items. After all, nearly every family already maintained secret vaults and hidden chambers for safeguarding their treasures.
One week later—three days before Fantasy Island officially opened—the entire island had been fully renovated.
The town's facilities were complete, orderly, and spotless. Although there were no residents yet, the Dream Forest on the other side of the island was already teeming with life. Countless Pokémon lived within it, coexisting peacefully, all drawn there instinctively—as if guided by dreams themselves.
Although the primeval forest covered an enormous area and could theoretically accommodate nearly one million Pokémon, and the town itself was capable of housing over one million people, Ash had no intention of filling it to capacity.
For now, his plan was to settle around one hundred thousand residents.
Cleanliness, order, and efficient management were his priorities—at least at this stage.
That day, the eight Heads of the major Kanto families arrived on Fantasy Island, accompanied by the Heads of the Joy family and the Jenny family, as well as Machiran, the president of the Eastern Alliance.
The moment they stepped onto the island, they were stunned.
The wooden architecture, the fresh air saturated with vitality, and the natural harmony between land and life made the place feel less like a commercial hub and more like a paradise suited for retirement.
In the conference hall atop the wooden tower, Ash welcomed them personally.
"Grandfathers, welcome to Fantasy Island," Ash said with a smile. "Please, take a seat."
Once everyone had settled, Samuel Oak rose first and began introducing the attending elders and family heads to Ash.
"It's safe to say that all of you are already aware," Ash said calmly after the introductions, "that although only five types of medicine are being introduced this time, their effects—and the profits they represent—should already be very clear."
"There's no need for concealment."
"Once these pharmaceuticals enter the market, the impact will be enormous. Even the medicines I released earlier will be rendered obsolete—except for a few specialized remedies similar to Full Restore Capsules."
"But those cannot be mass-produced, which limits their commercial value."
Ash's voice remained steady as he laid out the reality.
After everyone had fully understood the situation, he finally revealed the true purpose of the meeting.
"This gathering," Ash said, "is to discuss how the pharmaceutical profits will be distributed."
The room fell silent.
Every person present understood that this decision would reshape the medical and economic structure of Kanto.
