Ash took deep gasps of breath, it was like as if he had spent a whole year living in a full sized vacum! He had absolutely no air left in him!

"Don't give up till it's over" Ash chanted! It seemed like as if he made this phrase his lucky charm and the phrase that he would say to himself to encourage himself! Well, the lucky charm did work for Ash soon arrived at the Pokemon center safely! 

(Place skip at the Pokemon center)

Ash was preparing to put his Pidgeot back into its ball when: there he saw it! Perhaps one of the most suprising sights he ever saw: Serena, Bonnie and Clemont all sat at a table, looking as if they hadn't taken a single scratch or had passed out! In fact, they looked so healthy that Ash couldn't even tell wether they were real or not! Serena's face was no longer the pale face but a natural coloured reddish white colour that he longed to see!

Bonnie was talking to sqishy and laughing as joyfully as Santa Claus when he rides laughs! She looked like as if she was plotting something with Squishy because they were so close and seemed to be whispering at each other!

Clemont,however, was not at all inflicted with the joyfulness of the others. He sat still, like a rock, and stared mindlessly in front of him! 

Suddenly, Bonnie shouted:

"Look, there's Ash and he's wiggling his bum".

Ash froze. Had they seen him? No, they hadn't! They direction Bonnie was pointing was directly different!

Clemont and Serena looked! What next was probably the most funniest thing Ash would ever see! 

Whilst Clemont and Serena were distracted, Bonnie sectretly put her hands into the pocket and pulled out a.......

Tomato Chechtup! Suddenly, a memory hit Ash like a saw hiting a huge chunk of near unbreakable wood, he remembered pikach's like of eating Chechtup! That mischievous, yet cute little rodent always loved Chechtup and would nearly offer any price for it!

Then Ash remembered that Pikachu, his old friend and first Pokemon, had been captured by team rocket and he was powerless to stop them! Cold, icy tears flew down Ash's eyes and onto his cheeks. He blamed himself. It was because of him, because he wasn't strong enough to defend his own Pokemon.

Then a more motivated thought replaced the sad ones! Ash now wanted to train his Pokemon harder than ever and rescue Pikachu. He first had to rescue Pidgeot. Ash knew that, and that was why he came to the Pokemon center first. He didn't wanted Pidgeot to go to Kalos fainted as he wouldn't be able to see the breath taking sights on the way!

At here, he did another vow!

"I prosmise to god that one day I will teach the traitors a lesson and become a better Pokemon trainer with strong Pokemon that can defend the others! I will get Pikachu back!"

Ash could feel his finger nails digging deeper and deeper into his flesh. He didn't care. It was painful. Pure pain and he wanted pain to help him remember his vow!
