First, I want to say sorry for not updating for such a long time. I was working on another story and then decided to take a little break. That's it I guess...

We ended the previous chapter with the re-arrival of Miette at KIT. She finished her introduction and now, we join the classroom to see what unfolds next!

No one's POV

"Hello, to those of you who don't know me, I'm Miette Poffle!" exclaimed Miette happily as she scanned the classroom.

As she was scanning, her eyes landed on a certain Honey-Blonde. As soon as they made eye contact, Miette immediately snarled. Serena, too, glared back at her. As Miette was looking towards Serena, she caught something in the back ground that caught her eye. It was the wild, messy Raven hair that she was so obsessed with. As she was staring, Prof. Rowan suddenly spoke up.

"Alright Miette, please sit next to Ursula." said Rowan.

Miette looked around to find Ursula. Her eyes immediately lit up as she saw that the desk Ursula was sitting on happened to be on Ash's immediate right... so basically, Miette was sitting behind Serena, but right next to Ash.

Miette then started walking towards her seat. She walked past Serena while glaring at her. Serena just folded her arms, closed her eyes and then looked away. Miette scoffed at her actions and then immediately set her sights on Ash.

Ash was still covering his face, trying not to get noticed by Miette, however, he soon found out that he was unsuccessful.

"Hi Ashy-Boo!" said Miette while extending the 'i'.

Ash completely froze... and so did Serena.

'Ashy-Boo!? What!?' thought Serena while turning around to look at Ash. Dawn too turned around while Gary sat there sniggering, trying to hold his laughter in.

Ash slowly moved his hand away and started talking.

"Oh, I-I didn't notice you there M-m-miette." said Ash, nervously. It was clear that he was terrified of Miette just by his facial expression and body language.

"Of course you didn't. Your eyes were covered by your hands." said Miette while stroking Ash's cheek with the tips of her fingers.

Ash flinched as she did this, while Serena started boiling up with anger and jealousy.

Miette quickly glanced at Serena and then chuckled. 'I was right after all.' said Miette. The then took her seat.

 Ash was still shivering and sweating violently. He was staring straight ahead almost as if he was in a trance.  

"Ashy-boy, you OK?" asked Gary.

Ash just nodded as a response. Gary, along with Serena and Dawn just looked at each other with a puzzled expression on their faces. They looked at Ash a little skeptically, but then shrugged and continued working.

Miette tried getting Ash's attention multiple times during class. Doing things like asking him to explain what the teacher was saying; or asking him to pick up the pen she "accidentally" dropped. Every time Miette said Ash's name, both Ash's and Serena's hearts dropped. It was torture to both Ash and Serena. However, they struggled through the class and thankfully, Miette sat nowhere near Ash during the other 3 lessons.

It was now lunch time, and as always, Ash was the first one to get there. He got his lunch and soon, the rest of the gang joined. Ash was deep in thought while Mallow was looking at Ash sympathetically. The rest of them were confused. IF they knew Ash, they knew that all the food on his plate should have been finished the moment he sat down. It was new to them. Gary and Serena were especially concerned. Gary has been Ash's friend for as long as he could remember and Serena, well..., she liked Ash. Serena was abut to ask Ash about what was wrong, however, Gary beat her to it.

"Alright Ashy-Boy. Speak up." said Gary.

Ash finally lifted his head to see that all eyes were on him.

"Huh? What're you talking about?" asked Ash.

"Ash, this isn't like you. The food is still on your plate. You've barely touched it." said Serena. She was very worried about Ash and the tone of her voice expressed it.

"Oh... it's nothing." said Ash while managing to force a smile.

"Look Ash, we're your friends. We want to help you. Please?" said Misty.

Everybody else nodded at Ash, signifying that they agreed with her.

Ash knew that he had to get it off his chest. He glanced at Mallow. Mallow nodded at Ash while giving him a reassuring smile. Ash sighed and then spoke up.

"It's, well, Miette." said Ash.

As soon as Ash said that, Serena froze. She was now unsure if she wanted to continue hearing what Ash was about to say.

"What about her?" asked Gary.

"Well... I have a history with her..." said Ash while shuddering.

"Wh-what kind of history?" squeaked Serena while gulping. She suspected that Ash and Miette were in a relationship at one point.

"Well... she is kind of obsessed with Ash." said Mallow.

Everybody's attention immediately shifted to Mallow.

"Huh!? What's that supposed to mean!? Does she..." started Dawn, however, stopped talking as she started thinking.

Clemont was deep in thought in the background, however, something clicked in his brain. Clemont had broken out of his dense shell over the last three years.

"Hang on... we encountered Miette multiple times during our journeys... and she used to firt with you a lot Ash, didn't she?" asked Clemont.

"WHAT!?" everybody except Ash and Clemont Shouted out.

"You've met her before!?" asked Drew.

"Y-Yeah... just under 4 years ago... when I started my Kalos journey." said Ash.

"At that time, I didn't know what she was doing. I thought that she was just trying to be friendly... but she kept clinging onto me. We would cross paths very frequently. According to her, it was nothing more than a "coincidence"." said Ash. He then shoved some food into his mouth, chewed, swallowed and then continued.

"I was getting quite uncomfortable with her towards the end of my journey here. I didn't tell her that I would be moving to a new region after Kalos. After the league, I hightailed my way out of here and into Alola. I thought I escaped her... but I was wrong." said Ash. He stopped to eat again.

"A couple of months later, when I was out shopping, I felt someone tapping my shoulder. I turned around to see that Miette was standing behind me. I almost had a heart attack seeing her there. She started hanging out with me a lot more. She seemed like she had changed and I didn't mind being friends with her." said Ash. He finished his food and then continued.

"That was until she started forcing herself onto me. I started getting more and more uncomfortable with her. It became even worse when I found out that the only reason she came to Alola was to hang out with me. I wouldn't mind that if it was someone else but Miette? Nope. To this day, I still don't know how she found out that I was in Alola.

One day, we here having a party in Alola and Miette was very drunk. I was sitting there with a couple of my friends and Miette came out of nowhere and threw herself onto me. She then pinned me down onto the floor and said, and I quite, "I want to be your baby mama!". The smell of alcohol was making me want to throw up. I've never drunk before... maybe that's why?

Holy Shite, that was the most terrified I had ever been. Notice I said "had"... that's because she did something even scarier. I quickly broke out of her grip and ran home. Once I entered, I flopped down onto my bed. I was tired of running away from her. I slept quite peacefully... until I felt something tugging my shirt and my trousers. I tried to ignore it, but it started getting more and more violent. I finally opened my eyes... and what I saw there almost scared me shitless.

Miette was there, almost completely nude. She was undressing me! My shirt was completely off and she was tugging my trousers. I screamed my head off. She put her finger to my lips and the whispered into my ears. "Don't worry Ashy-boo, I won't hurt you."

I was frozen stiff... I didn't know what to do. I tried running away but Miette was holding me down. I should have thrown her off... but I, sort of, didn't want to physically hurt her.

Thankfully, Mallow here, along with a couple of my other Alolan friends, Kiawe and Hau, heard my scream and came running into my room to find Miette holding me down. Mallow threw Miette off of me while Kiawe and Hau sat there laughing. The told me to go on a journey around Alola to avoid Miette... and that's how I started my journey in Alola.

The very next day, I pack my essentials and ran. I later got news that Miette tried to find me but couldn't so she returned to Kalos to try for the Kalos Queen again. I stayed happily in Alola... until I got the news that Miette was returning as an exchange student. I, being the Champion, was quite famous in Alola... so I knew she would find me in no time flat. That's why I decided to contact the league and say that I wouldn't be able ti live in Alola due to personal reasons. They said it was OK and I moved to Kanto. That's where I got the invitation to KIT... and here I am. I didn't knew that she was a student here though..." finished Ash.

No matter how much Miette has annoyed Ash so far, he has managed to keep his cool. He has always denied her as politely as possible.

The boys were all laughing at Ash's story. They found it hilarious how much trouble Miette was giving Ash. The girls just facepalmed, excluding Serena and Mallow. Mallow had experienced it first had, while Serena was furious at Miette. She did all that against Ash's will. She was especially livid due to her sexually harassing Ash... she was slightly jealous too.

Gary then spoke up.

"Ashy-boy, that Miette has been an absolute pain to you." he said while laughing. He soon finished laughing and the continued.

"But in all seriousness, let us know if she causes you anymore trouble. We'll be there to help you." finished Gary.

Ash chuckled.

"Alright, Thanks Gary!" finished Ash.

"Hey Serena? How are you holding up?" asked May.

"Huh?" asked Ash. He was not sure what May meant by that.

"Oh, right... you don't know about it..." said May to Ash.

"Know about what?" asked Ash while looking at Serena.

Serena looked towards her empty tray with eyes full of sorrow.

"Well... since you shared your story, I guess I should share mine too..." said Serena.

"Miette and I have known each other since we were kids." said Serena.

"Kinda like Gary and me?" asked Ash.

"Yeah... sorta. But the relationship were share is nothing like the one between you two." said Serena.

"Huh?" asked Ash. He was quite puzzled right now.

"We have always been rivals... but we've always been bitter. She never likes seeing me be better than her at anything. She always tries to bring me down. This has been happening since we were kids.

In kindergarten, she never let me play with the good toys. She would always hog them and that meant all the kids would go to her and she would let them play with her while she never let me play. That meant I had no friends in kindergarten.

It only got worse over the years. In the early years of school, she started bullying... and that continued for almost a decade. Over time, she became popular and I was the exact opposite. No one really knew me. The only friend I made during that time was with a boy I met in a faraway region... a very long time ago. The only time I was free from her was when she went on her journey around Kalos. I was having a horrible life.

That all changed when I came here though. On the very first day, Miette was bullying me again. That's when Misty came to my help. She pushed Miette away and introduced me to everybody... and I've been so happy ever since then." finished Serena with a smile.

Learning the fact that Miette has been so horrible to Serena angered Ash. He could forgive her for everything that she did to him, however, Ash hated bullies. It has always been wrong to bully someone and there is no excuse for bullying someone.

"Thank you guys for being there for her." said Ash sincerely.

He was honestly very grateful to have friends like them. The fact that they were there for her when Ash couldn't be, relieved Ash.

"No problem Ashy-boy... but you have to make you move now. Tell Serena how you fe-" Gary started, however was cut off by Ash.

"Pikachu..." said Ash while glaring at Gary.

"Pika!" said Pikachu while sparking his cheeks.

Gary immediately gulped and stopped talking.

"Tell me what Ash?" asked Serena.

"Oh... n-nothing important! Just how I fe-fell off the top of Prism Tower." said Ash in a nervous tone while frantically waving his hands in front of him.

"But I already know about it." said Serena.

"See Gary, she already knows about it." said Ash while still glaring at him.

Gary took the hint to play along... and so he did.

"O-oh... y-yeah." said Gary, still terrified of Pikachu's thunderbolt that could strike him if he wasn't careful enough.

On the other side of the school, two individuals were having a conversation concerning Ash and Serena.

"So, you're back? And you're telling me that you like Ash?" asked Calem.

"Yeah... and I saw the way you were looking at Serena during Maths. I know you still want her." said Miette.

"So what if I do?" asked Calem.

"How about I propose something. It will benefit us both. You'll get what you want and I'll get what I want." said Miette while smirking.

Calem is a little dense. He is having difficulty understanding what Miette asking of him.

"What are you talking about?" asked Calem.

Miette face palmed at this.

"All I'm saying is we work together to hatch a plan. That way, you can get Serena and I'll have my Ashy-Boo all for me." said Miette.

"Thanks but I don't need your help. I already have a plan." said Calem. This surprised Miette.

"Y-you do!? What is it!?" asked Miette.

Calem just smirked at this.

"Simple, I'll ask him for a battle." said Calem.

Miette sweat-dropped at this.

"Seriously? What good is that going to do!? And anyway, do you seriously think you can win against Ash!? He is the Alolan Champion." finished Miette.

"I've been training very hard. My pokemon are really strong now and I've asked him for a battle... maybe sometime next week. I am a Kalos Elite 4. If an Elite 4 winds against a Champion... he gets to be the Champion... you see where I'm going with this?" asked Calem.

Miette was still confused.

"Umm... no." said Miette.

It was now Calem's turn to facepalm.

"If I win, Ash loses his title as the Alola Champion. His pride will make him return to Alola to regain his title... leaving Serena all alone in Kalos. You can then go back to Alola for him." finished Calem.

"That might work... but what makes you think you can beat Ash?" asked Miette.

"I believe in my Pokemon." said Calem.

Miette scoffed at this.

"Honestly... you believe in that sort of stuff?" asked Miette.

Calem didn't know what to say. He had learnt everything from watching Ash battle.

"... Um, yeah..." replied Calem.

"Uh, you're hopeless. Let me tell you this. You won't be able to beat Ash as he is right now. We need to weaken him... and I have a plan for that." said Miette.

"So... I'm basically cheating?" asked Calem.

"Yeah... yeah you are." replied Miette.

"NO!!" yelled Calem.

Miette was taken aback by Calem's sudden outburst.

"I gained my title as an Elite 4 by battling fair and square. I will not cheat... ever!" yelled Calem.

"But you don't underst-" Miette started, however, was completely cut off by Calem.

"Oh, I do understand Miette... I'm not cheating and that's the end of that!" said Calem.

Miette sighed knowing that there was no way of making Calem agree with her so she started talking.

"Alright, fine, we're not cheating... but you better make sure that you win!" said Miette.

Calem sighed a breath of relief.

"Don't worry. I'll try my very best and that will give me a chance at victory." said Calem.

"Alright, alright... I need to be somewhere now. You better go train." said Miette as she started walking away.

"Umm... alright, I guess..." said Calem as he started walking away too.

No matter what Miette said, she had no intention of not cheating. She wanted to guarantee a victory for Calem... and that's what she was going to do. She was going to break Ash Ketchum no matter what. She had a beautifully laid out plan in her head... and she was determined to execute if flawlessly. She saw no faults in it. It would definitely break Ash... and it would break Ash's and Serena's budding relationship... All she needed now was the date of Ash and Calem's match.

End of Chapter 17.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I know it doesn't have that many Amour moments, however, I needed to add Miette's back story and I needed to start the conflict somewhere and this is where it starts.

I wonder what Miette's little scheme is... I wonder how successful it will be. Will Calem find out that Miette cheated. How will he react if he does find out. What will happen to Shauna if/when Calem decides to break up with her?

It will all be clear in the remaining chapters.

Thank you so much for reading this. This chapter is a bit shorter than my previous chapters, however, I still hope you enjoyed it.

I'll see you in the next chapter I guess!
