Ash POV

"Clemont" I called out in distance.  watching him coming out from the ict room and closed it behind him as he completely came out revealing himself.

I didn't know what happened to his face, which had bruises and spit blood. It seems like he had a tough fight with someone, but he doesn't actually fight, who could he have fought him? This is wrong.

He caught my attention and looked at me with his bare hand placed on his forehead. His legs were trembling like a whobbly jelly and begins to lose support. Luckily, Alain grabs him in time before running at him and holds him in balance as me and Gary arrive in front, getting a clear view.

I observed closely to see big bruises were on his cheeks bone. Which I guess is broken or maybe his jaw if I'm wrong.

Clemont eyes were beginning to close as if he was leaving this earth. I need to know who caused this to him, possibly this connects to Serena of why she is crying.

I squat down to his level and tap repeatedly on his cheeks for attention, gazing still at his injured face.

"Clemont! Hey" I responded, tapping his non-bruised cheek repeatedly while Alain holds him in balance, not to let him fall to the ground.

"pika" pikachu said on my shoulder in concerern

Clemont's eyes were closed for a second like he was fainting then slowly opened them to stare at me with his cracked glasses positioned sideway from his eyes. un-placed.

"Ash" he croakily said and closed his eyes again.

"Hey Clemont, who did this" I respond tapping his cheeks repeatedly to wake him up, but it looks like he was fainting for real.

"Ash, we need to take him to nurse department" Gary said.

Alain nod at me, agreeing in this situation.

I looked at them, giving a nod in answer and took Clemont from Alain's arms. Pikachu leaps out from my shoulder as i holding Clemont by placing his arm around my neck in balance, not to let him fall over and start walking with him in a steady pace traveling towards nurses department leaving Gary and Alain going to their own lesson.

I glanced at Clemont who was now fainted again in my holding.

I didn't know what happened to him but something was not right. After our basketball game. Students were giving me a glare, Serena was crying and now Clemont badly hurt. Although it seemed like somebody must have forced him to do something. Clemont wasn't into stuff like this so it must have.

But who?

I looked ahead to see some students walking past me by giving a glare as they walk off while some were talking in their secret conversation. I couldn't make out what they were saying so I ignored my surrounding and carried on walking with Clemont around me as I held him. he wasn't that heavy so it was enough for my strength to hold on.

Finally, we reached at nurses department. I opened the door by twisting the knob and entered inside completly. Nurse looked at me for second then at Clemont with shocked face.

"Oh my, what happened to this boy," she remarked and walks towards us, examining Clemont features.

"I don't know" I said glancing at Clemont then at nurse joy "but please can you help him."

Nurse gave an affirmative answer "Put him in bed while I go get the bandages" she replied and scurry off from my sight through a open door getting the aid kit.

At this, I walked over to a bed and placed Clemont gently on it, laying him flat resting his body.

Then I took a comfy chair beside me and sat down, looking at Clemont as he lies restlessly on bed with eyes closed, breathing through his nostrills.

Pikachu climbs on bed next to him and sits down on it's bottom.

"What happened to you" was all I could say. sitting down on chair waiting for nurse to arrive with bandages, but I wonder what happened to Serena. I hope she alright.

Gary POV

Me and Alain were going to our lesson, walking past each student in our way down hallway.

We arrived in class which was maths. Entering inside through a opened wooden door and sat down in our chairs. Paul and Drew were coming in class since they couldn't find any sight of the girls.

I hope Misty is alright. I thought.

However, I still felt a grudge of why people gave a look on Ashy-boy, he didn't do anything bad plus we have been away in basketball through entire lunch. So why did they do that and why the girls are not in our sight in class beside Clemont getting beat up.

Something strange is going on like we are living in some sort another dimension. Which I don't want to be in, anyways I need to find out what has been happening after our game.

Me and Alain looked at board when Drew and Paul came through the door walking to their seat behind us, sitting down in their seats facing at us. I turned around in my seat to face them.

"Have you seen the girls?" I questioned.

Drew shook his head "no, but a girl did told me she did see one."

A slight hope was rising "you did." facing at them, paying attention to their story with the teacher looking at the computer screen.

With a nod "yeah, she said there one was this girl running away, crying outside with another girl with her," he described.

"Were they there," I said, mentioning about the others.

Drew shook again in no for a response "Nope, me and Paul went outside but they weren't there, we checked the whole playground but," giving a shrug "nothing."

I lean back from them. This was getting nonsense, first students, second Serena and now Clemont. This makes no sense at all and were are the girls by any chance, have they gone to Serena.

As we were about to begin. A door swung fully opened interrupting our class. I looked at up to see Misty, May and Iris entering the classroom and head towards their seat beside us, I took a glance to see Misty was mad as ever while May was curios but I don't know what Iris expression was.

As they took their seat. I began to whisper to Misty, not to get teachers attention who was starting the lesson.

"Hey Misty, where did you go and where's Dawn and Serena?" I questioned in a low tone but loud enough for her to hear.

Misty looked at me with narrowed eye brows, giving me an anger expression with a mad vibe coming my way.

"Well, ask that to Ash" she muttered and faced straight ahead, paying attention to class.

I put on a puzzled looked of the mention of my friends name so I began to speak more. I don't know why my crush spoke about him but I need more information for what he's done.

"What do you mean Ashy-boy?"

She immediately looked at me, away from the board. "Well, he cheated on Serena" she said.

My eyes went curios as I completly stared at her as she promptly looks at the board. Me and the guys started to get suspicious. 

"Wait, Ash cheating, but he didn't cheat. He was with us at basketball,"

"See that, i told you Misty" May said going to my opinion for Ash's right side.

Misty was about to speak up until the teacher spoke out.

"I can hear you back there and pay attention or all of you get detention," Mr Rowan whitebeard said facing at the bored as he writes numbers with his back facing at us.

Me, guys and the girls heeded. Starting to scribbling down our notes and concentrate in class. But I couldn't of what Misty told me about out Ash, I wonder what he's doing with Clemont right now.

Ash POV

I glanced at Clemont lying on bed as I stand near a open door and swept out, swinging it open and closed behind, shutting it quietly not to wake his peacefully sleep.

I waited for like an hour while nurse was putting on bandages even plasters on his face. He was in no control so I had to help her place them on.

Now, I need to find who caused this to Clemont and where is Serena, I hope Gary and my friends have found her.

I was walking towards my class with pikachu sitting on my shoulder, but in the corner of my auburn eyes caught a sight of something..... or someone down hallway coming through a corner.

I looked straight ahead over my shoulder to see someone that made me smile widely and relief coming off my shoulders like weights have been lifted. I went past my class and walk to my love with confident booting up.

"Serena" I called out, walking towards her with a glued signiture smile.

She was walking with her head down then looked up showing her face which changed into anger for some reason.

I stared closely at her face as we became close. There was a tear sliding down her cheeks from red eyes. The girl was right, she has been crying, but why did sere cry? i don't like seeing her like this.

"Sere what happened" I replied with my arms wide open wanting her to come to my arms going for a bear hug. Pikachu jumps out from my shoulder and lands gracefully on ground as he looks at me walking to Serena.

There was no word from her while she walks towards me in quicker pace with an anger expression as overflowing tears sliding out.

We were now inches. My arms remained open.

Going for a hug but what happened next made my life shattered into million pieces. My girl... my love was no more, she wasn't going for a hug but instead the opposite.

We finally came near in inches. She swings her arm upward and slaps firmly on my z-marks cheek causing my head to pull back from impact with a loud sound across hallway.....
