I'm grateful for my mom. Whenever I have a problem, she is always there for me, even though we don't see eye to eye from time to time. That talk we had made me understand my relationship with Ash is unhealthy. And our love have to be shown through our hearts and not our legs; even if its exciting. But it doesn't change the fact I still love Ash.

I want this relationship to work, but how can we get pass this? My heart and my mind are going back and forth right now. My heart saying I should forgive Ash and rekindle the relationship, while my mind is telling me to end things now before it gets any worst. While driving back to my house, I realized I still have questions that have remain unanswered. Depending how Ash responds will determine where we go from here.

Speaking of Ash, his blue GT-R is parked right outside my house. I pulled up to my driveway and parked. Before I step out the car, I took a few breaths and got ready for the confrontation.

"Ash," I called out, closing the door behind me. "I know you're in here. I need to talk to you."

I hear footsteps coming from the staircase. Here comes Ash walking down the steps, carrying his suitcase and Pikachu on top of his left shoulder.

"What are you doing with that suitcase?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"I've checked myself into a motel for tonight," Ash answered. "I just think its best to give you some space."

Oh so its bad enough Ash banged Miette behind my back, but now he's not even man enough to face me? Ash knows good and damn well that he has to answer to me. And he's not leaving anywhere until I get the answers I'm looking for.

'So you're leaving?" I asked him. But Ash didn't respond and just stared at me with this empty look on his face. Hey, its not my fault he's unfaithful. Ash continued walking towards the door, but I am not about to let him get away from me that easily. I manage to walk pass him and stop at the front of the door, blocking Ash from going anywhere.

"You're not going anywhere," I snapped.

"Serena...'

"Don't 'Serena' me, Ash Ketchum. I have a few questions and you will answer them today; even if it takes all night."

Ash knew he wasn't getting away scot free. That is the only reason why he's trying to run from me now. Ash Ketchum, we are about settle this once and for all.

XXXXXXXXXX

"So what do you want to know?" Ash asked, sitting across from me in the living room.

"Well for starters, when did you and Miette first having sex?" I responded.

"Aftee my battle with Bonnie. But I can explain."

'I'm listening."

"We were both getting our pokemon checked at the pokemon center when Miette came to us. She asked for our help test tasting some new flavors for S&M. Bonnie couldn't, so I volunteered."

"And then what?"

"We went over to her place." I looked strong on the outside, but I'm fighting the urge to breakdown on the inside. Ash has been to her house? "I test tasted some of her recipes... and then..."

"Then what? What?"

"Uhh..."

"Ash, what is it that you're telling me?"

I sat there waiting for an answer. He shook his head a few times before finally opening his mouth.

"Next thing I know, she went to the back and came out with nothing but an apron on."

"Okay?'

"No. She really came out with just an apron."

My eyes widen. I'm starting to piece this puzzle together. "She was naked?"

He nodded. "She got my clothes off and started pouring whipped cream on my body, licking it off, and one thing led to another we had sex."

So far so good, but there's still more to this story. "Okay," I responded. "That was two days ago. Have you and Miette fucked after that?"

"Umm..." Ash's hesitation is all I needed after that question. I had to blink my eyes a few times at once just to keep tears from coming down my face.

"Ash?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"Yesterday when we were at the park."

I held nothing back after that. I got up and attacked Ash while he was still seated.

"SERENA, STOP!!" He yelled trying to restrain me.

"LET ME GO!!" I cried back. "GET...YOUR...HANDS...OFF...OF ME!!" Out of frustration, I ended up grabbing his crotch.

"AHHHH!!"

Finally Ash let me go. I walked all over the front floor, from the kitchen to the living room, trying to figure out my next move.

"How could you do that to me?" I cried.

"I'm sorry, Serena. I really am"

"At the beginning of the week, I finally find the courage to confess my love for you after all this time and I thought you felt the same."

"I do. I love you, Serena."

"Then why would you backstab me like that?"

"Its not that I plan for this to happen. Miette seduced me."

"Really? That's your excuse? Are you serious?" I'm standing here looking at this man and I'm trying to figure out who is he. Because This is not the Ash I know. This Ash is selfish, sex crazed, and out of his mind. "Is this the excuse you give to all the other girls you fucked?"

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

"You have been screwing girls all over region to region before you and I started dating."

"That is none of your business. And why are you worried about some flings I had in the past?"

"Because I find out that my boyfriend for the past few days is nothing but a fuckboy who enjoys having sex with random girls."

"Look...what do you want me to do to fix this? How can I make things right?"

I thought by having this conversation, it would help me get the answers I'm looking for. But now I'm wondering if this relationship is even worth repairing. Ash already proved to me he doesn't care about my feelings. This is a toxic relationship, just like my mother pointed out when we was at the Rhyhorn farm the other day. I'm so frustrated that I almost forgot about this scandal.

"Serena," Ash called out my name again. "From the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry."

He walks up towards me, making an attempt to comfort me. But I continue to push him away.

"Get away from me," I hollered. "I'm serious, Ash. Don't touch me."

But I just couldn't fight him anymore and ended up crying on his shoulder. As crazy as it may sound to some people, I still love this man. You cant just break up with someone you know throughout your life.

"I'm so sorry, Serena. I really am".

"Sorry doesn't make it better, Ash. You have to show me."

"Well I'm not gonna let some girl ruin what I have right now. What can I do to fix us? Just name it and I'll do it."

Okay. Now this is the Ash I know and love. Maybe there is a future for this relationship. But I'm still not 100% convince. It took me a minute, but I finally found the one thing Ash can show me how serious he is with us.

"A pokemon battle," I answered.

"Huh?"

"You heard me. I want to have a pokemon battle."

"But what's a battle going to accomplished?"

"I have my reasons. Reasons I dont want to share at the moment."

"But..."

"It will be a one-on-one battle. Pikachu vs. Delphox. The winner will be decided when one side's pokemon is unable to battle. We'll have it tomorrow morning before you fly back to Kanto."

"Wait a minute, Serena..."

"But until then, fill free to sleep in the guest room tonight."

I've been having issues with Wattpad lately so I was unable to added screenshots I wanted to include on here. The last chapter --- Chapter 22 --- will be published sometime today because I want to work on Ash and Serena's battle. Stay tuned for it.

What will happen in this battle? Can Ash make up for his mistake? Who will win? And what's the real reason behind Serena's request?
