In a long spring day which was now turned into summer term.

A bright sun was shining the day in the kanto region of pallet. We now go to a big stadium where cheers were roared loud that people could here outside the building. There were stores selling items to customers and Pokemon were showboating their tricks. which got some attention.

Inside the stadium, there was a full packed of crowds cheering at the battlefield, however, it wasn't the cheers that we are hearing. It was actually the boos that was heard around the stadium. The reason was on the battlefield where a challenger was having the time of his life as he commanded his grass type for the win.

He swiped his free arm through the air like he was meeting victory and flashed a smile "go snivy, use leaf storm."

His words commanded loud to the midget grass type as it jumps up giving a speedily whirl by forming a big tornado with green leaves and shoots it at the big looking crocodile with glasses. Isn't that strange.

On the other side of the battlefield. There was trainer standing still as he watches the attack coming towards the Pokemon, instead his Pokemon. There were boos alerting in both of his ears from the crowd which he didn't bother to hear them, just ignored what's around him. He tried to open his mouth but words wouldn't come out. It wasn't even his day to begin with, that he was losing 3-0 to a Random trainer, more like a beginner.

"Pika" a yellow mouse exclaimed, trying to get his trainer to watch but to it's use, it failed to seek attention. 

The leaf storm made a clean hit at the crocodile as it flew in the air with its body layed flat, giving out a pain in response and lands immensely at the dusted ground with swirls in its eyes.

"Krokoroack is unable to battle, snivy wins" the referee spoke out as the challenger was celebrating with his Pokemon.

More boos were heard around the stadium as they were now chucking items at the pitch, aimlessly at the boy who was down to 3-0 with only 3 Pokemon left in his belt.

He unclips the empty capsule sphere in his belt and lift with it in mute. Returning with a straight red shooting beam at the fainted krokorock in its pokeball before giving a smile.

"You did great" was all he said and placed the pokeball back to its belt.

"Pika!" The mouse responded with a mad formed on its yellow pouch face. It was about to give a electric shock to him but held it inside.

"I don't believe it, the challenger is beating the champion 3-0, can Ash Ketchum make a remarkable comeback, or will he lose his title" the commentator spoke in his microphone with a sweat dropped from the forehead, watching clearly at the battle go on in his view.

A smile rose from Ash lips when hearing the commentator and the fans boos. He didn't felt of battling but it was getting into him. It wasn't his Pokemon or his style of tactics, it was one thing. One thing he was missing most in his life since the time he left the region of love. Kalos.

He could help but let out a smile of his memories flashing back into his head when he remembers that girl. His childhood friend, but not just any friend. It was his sweetheart.

He misses that warm gentle smile of hers that would brightens his day and gives motivation for him to battle and win for her.

He misses her swiftly grace hair that smelt strawberry through his nostrils and her soft skin that felt as if she was a feathery pillow when he fell down at the time when he was ill and she caught him in her care free arms. 

He also misses those eyes. Those ocean blue eyes that would give reflection to him. He thought they were absolutely beautiful to watch, he could watch them for like days, weeks, months or even year or maybe eternity. Oh how he misses them dearly.

And last but not least, her lips. Those soft brushing lips that he would plant his on to her. He misses those and wishes he would go back and do it again meeting her one last time. 

This was his reason and she was his purpose. He didn't have the motivation to battle because he was lost.....without her. 

Ash felt empty with a lost of heart without this girl. 

He couldn't carry on the battle which was taking place. Where was her cheers that he could hear far away. Where is she watching that he could see, and where is she. 

Nothing

Nothing at all. No where to be seen.

He couldn't carry on, not like this. Not in battle.

He looked straight up to see the challenger giving out cheers to the fans which they roared at him with names as if they were going to his side for the win. 

Ash smiled once more then turned into a sad one. Pikachu notices his trainers expression in concerned.

"Pika pika" the yellow mouse responded, standing up in two legs and looks up at his long time trainer.

Ash heard his responded and looks down, giving a gently warm smile but it was either a fake one or real.

"I'm fine Pikachu." He replied and gives a nod "let's win this battle"

Pikachu smiled at his trainer respond. Although, it still felt concerned for the battle which they were down to 3-0 with Ash having 3 un-fainted pokemon left in his belt. How is he going to win? Does he need motivation or form a new planned tactic.

On the other side, outside of the stadium. A girl was running fast to the building with heave of breath coming out from her mouth whilst running, dragging her legs as fast as she can with Her short shoulder length honey blond hair was bouncing up and down.

She ran past the security guards without knowing the tress passer was entering the stadium.

She climbs up the stairs. Finally she reached to the top and enters through the white lightened door. As she did. She blinked a couple of times to get a better view and looks around to her left shoulder to right, scanning the packed crowd inside the stadium in their seat with some standing up to get a better view.

She finished looking and looks below at the battlefield. When she did, her heart was racing and blush was forming on her pale cheeks with a excitement smile rose on her lips as her blue eyes were growing.

She wasn't gazing at the challenge nor watching the battle go on. It was the boy she was looking at. Ash Ketchum. 

She looks at him for moment then at the board, to her eyes. He was losing at a remarkable 3-0. She couldn't Believe what she seeing. The boy she likes and love is losing. She didn't remember him losing at this rate since the day she watched at the kalos league where he lost against a trainer in their last Pokemon.

A verge of roar was filled inside of her. She was about to shout loud to him but there was loud roars coming from the crowd. She watched Ash for second who was completely mute without moving.

Soon, She looks around of her surrounding and found an empty seat next to her. She sat down comfortably and watches the battle go on

On the battle field.

Ash looks down at his trusted partner by giving a smile. " Pikachu, do you want to battle"

Pikachu thought for a moment and accepted his trainers offer "Pika!" It responded

"Okay then" he replied. He points his fore finger at the battle "Pikachu, I choose you"

Instantly, Pikachu leaps into the battlefield, in to a battle stance with a determined face spreading in his pouch face.

"Pika Pika" Pikachu respond with yellow Electric sparks forming from its small wheeled-shaped red cheeks.

A smile was formed on the challenger face "so you think your Pikachu can defeat my snivy. Will see about that. Snivy let's use vine whip"

Snivy immediately formed a quick flash from its coller as a green lined string comes out from it. jumps up in the air and shoots its string at Pikachu who was getting ready to hear its trainer call.

"Pikachu, dodge it" Ash commands loud.

Pikachu instantly dodges the attack but then a counter was heard.

"Not so fast, snivy use leaf storm and finish this off" the challenger shouted.

When Pikachu dodged the attack. Snivy pulls its string back to its coller and spins around with a tornado coming from the tail and shoots leaves with it, heading straight at Pikachu.

"Pika" Pikachu exclaimed

Ash didn't have to counter or to react as the attack made a direct hit at his trusted partner buddy, with black smoked formed into the clear air. Soon, a yellow mouse flew in the air and lands hard on the ground. 

"Pikachu" Ash exclaimed. He really was losing this match and this one was the worst of all, seeing himself losing 3-0 up.

He watches Pikachu get up but to it's avail it fell back Down, but it was giving up without a fight, trying not to faint for his trainers sake. 

The girl was watching in a worry. It wasn't the battle, it was Ash. She knew all of his battle tactic but this was not her type. She knew what he was like of battling, its almost like he was getting into the same situation from before where he lost again the snowbell city gym leader, getting all depressed and remembers the time of their first argument with each other but soon changed.

She changed him back the way he was. She was the one who made the real Ash Ketchum come back.

As she watch this. She wanted to shout out to him, which is exactly she was going to do.

She immediately but quickly stood up from her seat and placed her bare curve hands near to her mouth to give a clear respond, taking a deep breath and shouted out of her lungs. With each words coming out from the throat. Remembers the first word he said when they met.

"Don't give up until it's over" she shouted loud that made her voice echoed through out the whole stadium getting the alerts from other citizens.

They looks over their shoulder to see a the girl shouting at the battlefield. However, not at it. But to a person which it rang in his ears.

Ash follows the sound that came from the stand. He looks up but the sun shine so bright that made his eyes blind with a slight glimpse of a shadowed person. He puts his fingerless hand above the eyebrows to get a better view so he could see the person who shouted.

To his mixed emotions with shock, surprise and happiness as his heart was drumming the beats. His hazel eyes was looking at a girl at the stands standing up in her seat. It wasn't just an ordinary girl, it was her that he was dreading the most see.

The girl saw Ash getting the attention from the shout. When he did, she gives a heart warming smile at him.

Ash was taken back with a surprised eyes. He loves to see that smile and watching her coming to the battle made his confident shooting above the stars.

A smile was also formed on his lips as it began to open up, for it to speak out.

"Serena" he breathed the word with eyes lighting up.

Serena looks at Ash and gives a determined smile with a wink even a blush formed on her cheeks.

"Man, she looks even more cuter than before." He spoke in his own mind that gave out million of adjectives words.

Oh how he must that. Ash was completely daydreaming at her face without knowing what going on the battlefield until he heard the challengers voice been spoken out which gave him the alert of attention.

"Nows are chance, snivy use leaf storm and finish this off."

Snivy heard its own trainers commands.  The grass type jumps in the air once more and speedily spins around its midget thin body, creating a big tornado with leaves formed and shoots the attack straight at Pikachu who was lying on ground, completely unaware that the attack was heading towards the yellow mouse.

Ash saw this coming. "Pikachu dodge, quick" he shouted in concern.

However, Pikachu was not moving one bit as the attack was coming closer, was this end?

The raven boy tried to overcome this situation giving his brain time to think until it switched open. He gave smile and points up, swiping his arm through the clear air.

"Pikachu use iron tail, hit at the ground" he commanded

Pikachu heard his words and knew what was his plan. A glow shined at the zig zag tail creating a clean iron and smashes it at the ground, giving a massive boost up with a jump in the air, dodging the incoming attack as it misses the target.

The challenger was baffled " what! how" he said.

Ash ignored his words "Pikachu, finish it with thunder bolt" he commanded the signature move which was his favourite to use.

The yellow mouse smiled that his old self is back. Sparks were formed around the body and shoots a full powerful zap at the grass type.

The challenger was about to speak up but to it's use he didn't have time to say it as the attack was directly hitted at the grass type. Black smoke was formed around with snivy jumping out from it with swirled eyes.

The crowd went from boos to cheers as they see a comeback battle. Even Serena was happy to get the old Ash back just in time.

"Snivy is unable to battle, Pikachu wins" the referee motioned his flags at Ash.

The crowd began to cheer loud across the whole stadium watching their kanto champion coming back.

Ash adjust his hat and face a smile. "Now I'm back. Baby" he said with a fist pump.

The challenger was now getting scared. He returned his fainted Pokemon into its pokeball and clips on to its belt then brings out his next Pokemon onto the battlefield.

"Let's go mr. Mine" he said as he threw the pokeball at the battlefield with a grunt.

The pokeball flew in the air then it fully opened as a flash poured out from it, revealing a Pokemon.

"Mime" it responded

Ash wanted to laught but he held it inside. Now, he immediately commanded the attack without letting the challenger take a chance from speaking.

"Pikachu use thunderbolt" Ash shouted.

Pikachu jumps up from the ground and in to air. It let's its body flat realising all the electric powered within and curves up like a ball, shooting out a zap of electricity as it heads straight at mr. mime who had no response from its trainer.

The bolt made a clean hit with smoke erupting in the air. When it ended, there was mr mine lying mutely on the ground with swirled rolled eyes.

"Mr.mime is unable to battle, Pikachu wins." Referee spoke.

The crowd were beginning cheer louder than ever as their champion was making a comeback from 3-0 to 3-2. It even made Serena happy that they are getting to see the real Ash. She wanted to stand up and cheer along but held within because she had something plan when he wins. which she is defiantly sure he was going to.

The challenger returned his Pokemon who did not land a single attack. He clips on to its belt and takes out another Pokemon.

"Charmeleon, let's go" he shouted as he threw the pokeball in the air.

The capsule opened up and out came fire type Pokemon with sharp teeth and a tail with a flame at the end.

"Char" it responded with a loud cry.

Ash smiled. "So a charmeleon eh. Hmm, Pikachu return" he said.

Pikachu looks back at his trainer. Standing still for a moment and folllows it's own trainer command. He crawled up to its trainer with a expression that it wants to battle more.

Ash kneels down to its buddy level and pets the yellow mouse. " I know you want to battle buddy" he replied. He stops petting Pikachu for a second as he stood facing towards the battlefield with a smile formed on his lips "but there's is someone else that would love to battle." He said.

Pikachu was confused at firsts. It cocked its head to the side. Thinking for moment until he knew the answer as a smile rose, giving each side of its cheeks rise up. From one to another.

Ash takes out the pokeball from his belt and throws it in the air like a baseball player.

"Let's go my friend. Charizard I choose you" he said.

The pokeball fully opens and out came a massive orange dragon with its tail that was bigger than a charmeleon. It was actually the final formed.

Charizard looks around until his eyes set at charmeleon who was now getting scared seeing the scared looking dragon in front. A smirk was formed on Charizard lips, showing sharp white teeths.

"Let's not waste time Charizard, use flame thrower" Ash said, turning his hand into a fist like he was squeezing a plain certain rock.

Charizard folded his arms and breath out a big fiery flamethrower from it mouth which it made a clean hit at charmeleon letting out a scream of pain. It lands hard on the ground with swirl eyes.

"Charmeleon is unable to battle. Charizard wins"

Crowd began to cheer more as the score was moving up with the champion drawing.

(Time skip)

After a intensive battle which was easy for the champion. Ash has easily defeated his opponents Pokemon's with 6-3.

He used Pikachu and Charizard even his syncronised partner Greninja which the crowd loved the two when they syncronised together.

Now, he looks ahead of him at the battlefield to see his Greninja had easily defeated a monferno after giving a clean cut in its synch form.

The fire type monkey flew in the air and lands immensely on the ground, with its eyes turned in swirls.

the referee raises his flags up then towards Ash "monferno is unable to battle, Greninja is the winner which means the match goes to our still remaining champion. Ash Ketchum. " he exclaimed.

The crowd stood from their seats and gave an round of applause to the champion after winning a comeback match. They were really mad that he was not playing like his usual self but that now changed by a girl.

Actually. With the girl which was Serena. She stood from her seat and begins to walk out before giving a gentle smile at Ash on the battlefield.

Luckily. Ash saw a glimpse of Serena hair as she was exiting the stadium. Leaving him behind. There was no time to waste.

He thanked to his challenger and returned Greninja to its pokeball after turning back into its original form. Without to spare. He immediately starts to run out of the building with Pikachu following behind, catching up to his trainer.

Ash was filled with memories of the time they had together from childhood till the end of Thier long journey in Kalos.

He remembers when he saved her, not just once but twice at the summer camp at kalos. Where he manages to grab her hand before falling off the cliff.

he even remembers their first date which he was completely dence before but now he is not, he has changed into a different person after getting a sweet yet fantasy kiss from the girl he loves the most.

He saw a white light ahead of him while running towards it. he runs out the stadium and stops in his tracks. scanning around his surrounding to find Serena as he starts to shout her original name.

"Serena!" He called.

There was no voice just silent through the air, so he called again.

"Serena" he called again.

Still there was nothing, only silent with wind blowing the trees leaves and dust were waving after wave.

A worried face plastered upon the raven boy. What if she has left, or was it his imagination. There were question filled in his head. Was it her...or not?

He looks down for a moment then up in the clear blue sky, letting one small tear run down smoothly on his z-mark cheeks.

"I miss you" he mumbled under his breath.

Throughout his days, he couldn't live without her. Every time he battled, all he thought about was Serena. Every time he hears the crowd chanting his name, all he wanted was to hear that one voice from her.

However, without realising, there was a person silently sneaking behind Ash, coming towards him with a smile glued on her face.

Pikachus long ears alert when he hearing the faint footsteps coming close. The mouse whirled around its small body to the person up close and to its disbelief, it was actually Serena.

Pikachu wanted to exclaim but held it within for later, knowing the situation so it crawls to the other side, watching Serena come close to Ash.

Ash was completely unaware until he felt a tap on the shoulder. He gives a mental sign. thinking it was fan who wants an autograph.

He whirls around as he was about to speak out, but the words didn't came.

Ash expression went from neutral to shock to see the person in front. Who was beginning to lean close.

Eyes were meeting. Nose brushing as they went past, and finally their lips were finally planted. Feeling each others soft wet lips which it was pretty blissful indeed...for each other.
