No POV

"Come on Pikachu, let's go" Ash said with a smile plastered on his face as he walks out from the front door of his house, ready for school. Pikachu runs up to his trainer and climbs on his free shoulder.

Ash said his goodbye to his mother and completely closes the door, now heading to the bus stop, walking along the quite streets with the sun shining bright in the clear blue sky.

He couldn't help but let out a wide smile after getting back with Serena. He felt as if all his weights have been lifted off and confident is boosted straight up.

When walking to the bus stop, he saw three of his friend and one special person  that was waiting for him.

Ash walked toward his friends as they soon notices his precense, even one person who had a wide smile, that made his heart beat more when seeing it.

"Ash" was all he heard as the girl runs up to Ash and gives him a bear hug that made their bodies warm, feeling each other's warmness. Then they departed and looked at each by giving eye contact and lean their heads, giving a quick peck on a lip and walk back to their friends, hand in hand with smiles.

"Guess who back...back again, eh" Gary said with a smirk, cracking a joke.

The four laughed heartily at his joke on what he was on about. I didn't obviously.

"It's great to see you two back together again" Dawn said. Regaining her posture from laughing.

"Thanks" Ash said with smile. Placing his hand behind the nape, scratching it nervously while Serena blushed.

"I feel happy for you cuz" May replied with a peace sign, two fingers up.

" thanks cuz" Ash said until a smirk crawled up. "What about you and Drew eh" he added.

When he said that, may's face went fully red immediently, she was taken back of what her cousin has just said which came out of nowhere. 

"What, no, I don't like him" she said and looks away, folding her arms crossed against the chest, hiding her blush so no one could see, but it was too little to late.

"Oh come on May, we know you like him" Dawn encouraged.

"I believe with Dawn" Serena added in the conversation.

"Me too" Gary replied with a nod.

"Wait Gary, how did you confess to Misty?" Ash questioned. Puzzled.

Gary laughed and said "Ashy-boy, it was easy. All you have to do is lay it smooth." He says which made a few raised their eyebrows. Confused on what he just said.

May stood for moment then gave up on her thoughts. She slowly turned around and faced at her friends with a blush.

"Y-you think so" she said. playing with her thumbs.

"Of course cuz. Just go and confess to him" Ash said with a confident smile.

May gave a nod with a smile raising on her lips as her confidence was building up. "Thanks guys."

For a couple of minutes of waiting, the bus has finally arrived as the group enter in the transport. Driving off to school on the road.

-------

After a long period of each lesson, it was now time for the next one as the gang step out the classroom having maths for their lesson. Worst they have homework.

They walk along the busy hallway for their next lesson history having enough spare time to get there.

May looked over at Drew who was talking with the guys while walking to  class, she thought from before on what her friend just said at the bus stop, but her gut was saying the opposite no to. So she obviously went with her head, doing it now.

"Hey drew" May said. Stopping in her tracks, waiting for him to come to her, leaving her friends as they carried on walking.

Instantly. Drew looks at may and stops walking with the gang walking ahead just to let them have their own space but still kept on watching them.

"What is it may" Drew questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"C-can we talk outside." She said with a blush which Drew notices it but ignored instead giving a nod only in response.

The two stepped out and exited the building as the gang watched them go out of Sight. However, Dawn had other plans.

"Hey guys, we should go and spy on them" she said. When she said that, the gang also formed smirks.

"Great idea, I'm going" Misty exclaimed as she followed Drew and May out of the building to see what's up, curious to known

"I'm going to, this I gotta see" Gary said as he too followed His girlfriend behind.

Same goes for the whole gang as they too follow behind, swept out of the building without thinking about their lesson.

They scanned around the playground to find where they were until they finally found May and Drew near a bench. They quietly sneak up upon them and hid under a big bush without getting caught and watched the two standing to each other face to face, hearing on what they're saying.

May spoke first, more like a shy way. "So the reason why I, I wanted you to come is because..." she said, playing with her thumbs with a tinge blush formed on her face as nervous swelled.

"Because what, May" Drew softly said as he looks at her, waiting for a reply which he didn't know why 

For a moment of silence. May finally spoke. letting all the words and feeling come out from her mouth.

"W-well, the truth is.... I like you" she blurted out and closed her eyes shut, but still waits for him to reply.

At this, Drew was completely shocked from what she just said. However, He was happy in the inside that she does have the same feeling as he does.

For a second. Drew spoke out while looking at May as a hot blush crawled up on his face.

"I do too"

May heard his words as she immediately opened her eyes and looked up at him with a gapped face until it was changed into a smile with tears coming out from her eyes, crying that he too has the same feeling for her.

The girls were holding on to their sequels while boys just smiling at the scene.

"Y-you do"

"Of course I do" Drew responded. Slowly taking a few small steps, closing up to May as their were centimetres away with their own heads in line, gazing into each other's eyes without taking them off like they were been mesmerised.

May was daydreaming her crushes eyes, she was casted a spell by them until she suddenly leaned forward slowly into his face with no control, just letting her body do the talking. Same goes for Drew, leaning his head as they're eyes were beginning to close shut. feeling excitement adrenaline inside them.

The gang were now getting excited yet happy for the two about to kiss, but Gary just ruined it as he stood up from his hiding position which he was busted for doing it. Just what was on his mind.

"Go on Drew?" He exclaimed, ruining their moment which took a surprise turn.

The two were just inches away from meeting their glistened lips but it now ruined. Simultaneously, both May and Drew looked over to see only Gary which they were shocked but angry in the inside that he was supying, however, the didn't know the rest.

"GARY!" May and Drew shouted in unison with blushes.

It a took a few second on what Gary Just did until he finally realised.

"Gary, what the hell man." Ash said with a mad expression.

"You ruined the moment you idiot" Dawn said.

"Pathetic" Paul muttered.

"What I'm just cheering them on" Gary told in defence. "They were about to kiss"

Ash and the gang were about to tell off Gary. However, they didn't know what was heading straight at them as a loud explosion came near them with no one hurt, sending black smoke across the whole playground including the whole gang. They starting to cough because the smoke was really strong to hold. However. There was a voice that was heard.

"Florges, use sleep powder" said someone which Ash thought quickly of who spoke that.

He looks up with his hand near to his mouth to stop the smoke entering his mouth.

"Calem" he responded in anger. He looked around to find serena but she was no where to be found near him. The smoke was very thick to see through, hard enough to tell.

Later, the black smoke was getting clear as fresh air was taking over around the playground. When it did. The whole gang looked to see if anyone is missing out but one is actually.

"Wait where's Serena" Ash exclaimed in a worried tone.

"All right Sceptile, we got to get stronger, so let's do this" I said in determination that we can.

Sceptile nods in acceptance.

We were at a clear park with no one around us as we were about to start our training routine to get stronger, like I promised.

After my battle with Ash which I lost. I really have improved my skills throughout each day but I'm no where near to his level, so I must carry on and defeat my rival.

When I was about to train, i saw a person carrying someone in the arm from the corner of my eye. I looked over in distance to see a boy who was almost like Ash but in a different way and most of all I saw he was carrying a girl with honey blond hair in his arm. Wait! isn't that Ash's girlfriend and why isn't she not moving, it's almost like she is a sleep.

I quickly returned my Sceptile into its pokeball in silent and hide behind a big tree, taking a peek at the person without getting caught.

In my view. I saw him taking out a pokeball and threw it in the air as it opened up, revealing flying type which was a talonflame. He hooks the girl on talonflames back and climbs on, motioning the bird to fly as it starts to fly in the air, gliding it.

I gotta tell Ash about this or else there will be trouble. I thought.

Until I had plan, i unclipped out a different pokeball from the belt and treat it in the air as it opened fully, and out came salamence, giving a loud respond after it came it.

"Salamence, can you follow them" I pointed to where they have gone. " and don't get caught.

Salamence nods in response and flaps it's big red bat wings. Arising up in the clear air from the ground and flew straight to chase at that guy down south.

Immediately, I speedily ran out from the park and searched for Ash to see if he was nearby.

"Ash she might be near," hearing the words from Dawn saying to me which had no use at all "I'm sure she alright" she added trying to reassure.

"Pika" my buddy responded, trying to lit my mood up.

"How could she be alright Dawn, you know what we heard. It was that Calem, where is he" Gary resorted.

We've been waiting for some minutes without Serena in our group which she was taken by Calem when the smoke was cleared. My mind was going haywire about Serena safety.

"Guys, let's check every where around school, will go in groups. If we find her then meets up outside." Clemont said, receiving nods from the whole gang.

It didn't take long to partner up, I was partnered up with Gary and May While Misty was the girls '' Dawn, Iris and Lillie' and Drew was the boys 'Alain, Paul, cilan and Clemont.'

"Ok, let's go" I said. 

I couldn't take it anymore to wait, so I immediately started to run, running away from the gang to look around the school.

"Ash wait" May called and starts to catch up to me as I heard her footsteps, running behind me.

"Pika" Pikachu did the same.

I didn't stop just carried on to find my love and beat that guy up, wherever he is.

"Serena" I called repeatedly as I looked around to find her outside school with Gary, Pikachu and May following. To my luck, there wasn't any sign of her. My worries were swelling as i muttered her original name under my breath.

"Don't worry Ash, will find her. I'm sure" May said.

"Pika, Pika Pikachu" Pikachu responds, climbing up from the bottom to my free shoulder.

Then I heard a person called my name.

"Ash!" Someone called loud. which sounded someone that recognise before. I looked over my other shoulder to see my rival Sawyer running up to me in a hurry.

"Sawyer, what wrong" I said.

He stops in front of me and takes a few breath, and said "it's...its your girlfriend" he said which made my eyes go wide. Does he know where she is? I thought.

"What, where is she." I questioned in worried.

"I saw her being dragged by someone who had same clothes as you. they went south, it's not really that far. My salamence is following their tail" He said.

A smile rose on my face bringing hope to light.

"Thanks Sawyer" I said and looked at Gary. "Gary let's go. Tell the others to meet outside, ASAP"

"Right" he said. He takes out a phone from his pocket and dialled the numbers fast like there was no tommorow, then puts it near his ear waiting for the call to answer.

"Noivern come on out" I said as I threw a pokeball in the air, it fully opened up and out came a dragon type in front of me.

"Noivern" It cried. 

"Noivern, can you fly us to south" I said as I was received a nod. Then I looked behind me at the whole gang "right guys, let's go" I said and climbed up on noiverns back comfortably in place and taking a hand for Sawyer to climb up with me behind my back and Pikachu sitting in front on my lap, not to fall down.

I looked over to see my friend climbing on flying type Pokemon. Dawn was going with Paul on mercrow. Mays with drew since they both are in a relationship, they were riding on a butterfree. Gary was with Misty.

cilan was going with Iris on dragonite and last but not least was Alain who was going with Lillie and Clemont since they both don't have any flying type pokemon so they are riding on his Charizard instead.

With a nod in determination "ok guys, let's go!" I said. Motioning noivern to fly up in the clear blue skies with the wind blowing at my hair that was covered by my cap in place, keeping my eyes in line to see what's ahead while the whole gang did the same, following me behind.

"Don't worry serena, I'm coming." I muttered to myself.

Serena pov

All I could see was darkness in my eyes. I couldn't know what is happening but I could use my senses at least. The place was wet yet stunk like someone has done a vomit.

Finally, I opened my heavy eyes by lifting them , it was a blurry at first so i blinked a couple of few times to get into focus. When I did, I clearly looked ahead to see a person in front me with bars lined In front and that's were I saw my ex boyfriend with a smirk on his face which I wanted to slap away for good.

"Hey there babe," he said which I really hated being called from that, even from him.

"Don't call me that" I glowered at him with a mad expression.

"Jeez, that was different. When did that came from, but anyways. I'm going now. " he said and begin to walk to swag from my sight before he stopped and looked at me "oh, I'll have fun with that Ketchum boy" he laughs and exited through the swinging door leaving me behind bars.

I hope Ash will be okay, I though to myself without saying, burying my head as my heat and short blond hair covered my face.

---------

In the other room.

A man with a tango beard was watching everything down below his feet as scientist were typing something on a computer screen, until he was interrupted by a door swinging it fully open. He slightly looked over to see his son walking towards him.

A question came to his mind as his son stood beside him.

"So why did you bring that girl." He said and looks ahead, without looking at his son.

Calem only smirked "oh you'll see dad, it's going to be interesting."
