Cress' Point of View

Continuing on our way to find Team
Rocket's whereabout, Cilan found a clue at a narrow corner and Stunfisk successfully grabbed the clue...

Cilan then took hold of a piece of crumpled paper and said,"They're heading for The Nacrene Museum. Lenora was here as well as Hawes so there's no one to guard the museum."

"hmm.."Serena then walked back and forth and said,"As far as I know, Team rocket has this secret basement under the museum. I'm pretty sure that is their lab in Nacrene City."

"Wow that's so awesome Serena!"Ash said... Ash complimenting Serena made Cilan's face turned red and heat up...

Ugh.. Ash if you continued doing that Cilan would really kill both you and Serena.

As I was pondering and listening to their conversation, Chili tapped my shoulder and said,"It's almost 3 am.. No one is at the gym to watch over for the guests if they woke up.. I have to head back."

"But Chili.."I replied, saddened by his response.

"Cress, they need you here... You and (Y/N) will be the one to stop Cilan if ever he lost his fuse... The people in Striaton Gym needs me... Okay?"Chili smiled at me and ran away without Cilan and the others noticing.

"Just give me a call!"I shouted.

Chili then nodded and disappeared into the darkness...

"Where's Chili?"(Y/N) then walked towards me as she scans the surrounding for Chili.

"He went back to Striaton Gym to look over the people in there. You guys didn't even notice.."I sighed and looked away.

(Y/N) then hold my cheeks and pinch it... (Y/N).. Stop you're making me blush..

No seriously please..

"Don't be sad.. I'm here for you if ever no one is there to cheer you up."She smiled at me...

Cress stop... Calm down.. Cress..

Be.. Peaceful.. Remain.. Peaceful... She's so.. Beautiful..

(Y/N) then removed his hands from my cheeks as Cilan approaches us and said,"Where's Chili?"

Serena and Ash followed behind Cilan,"Yeah, we're gonna go to Nacrene city now." Ash said.

"He left to watch over Striaton Gym."I replied.

"Oh.. That's too bad.."Serena commented. "But that's okay, we still are a large group so we can still manage to fulfill our mission to save the pokemons right?"

We all nodded except for Cilan who seems to be zoning out.

"Let's continue."Cilan muttered as we left the Abandoned Train station and headed for Nacrene City.

My phone then started to ring, revealing that the caller was Chili.

"Hey Chili! What's going on now?"I asked.

"Everyone seems to be awake. I just tried calming them down and served them foods to refresh theirselves. Just called to say that everything's going alright here. Anyway! Careful over there!"Chili said in a fast, and almost hardly understandable way.

"Okay thanks! Best wishes!"Chili then hung up as Cilan turned to me.

"What did he say?"He asked.

"He said that everything was fine back at the gym. Everyone was awake and calm though."I smiled and took a bottle of water from my backpack.

Cilan's Point of View

While walking, I kept on glancing on Ash who seems to be enjoying Serena's company...

What do I have to say anyway? She's a girl and Ash deserves to be loved by someone that was really meant for him...

But what am I thinking?... I shouldn't give up... I should fight for the person I love! We're partners now so what does Serena have that I do not?!

She's a girl...

Ugh stop it! I do not care wether she's a girl or not! What I know is that Ash chooses me over her so that's why we're partners!...

Ash just chooses you because Serena's not around..

Who is that thing talking to me?! I hate this..

You don't recognize me?

I do not! Plus how can you hear what I'm saying on my head?!

Heyyy! I'm Yamask! Why have you forgotten!

Yamask? But why are you speaking to me and annoying me! Stop doing this to me.. You know i'm already downcast but you're still saying those words to me.

I'm just telling you the truth..

Truth or not just speak to me when I'm alright and ready to talk okay?! I'm not in the mood...

If you say so...

Then I noticed that Yamask's presence was gone..

Finally..

Until..

"Cilan! Heyyyy!!"Ash was calling me.. I was zoning out all throughout my conversation with Yamask?

"Wh..what is it?"I turned to him and smiled like I heard nothing and everything was inadequately fine..

"I thought you have gone deaf.. I was wondering if you have a chocolate with you. Serena said she wanted one.."Serena again..

"(Y/N) have some chocolates. Go ask her."I replied, voice shaking and unable to think straight...

Why is he doing this to me?...

Ash then runs towards (Y/N), taking the Chocolate from her and giving it to Serena happily...

Serena smiled back but it fades away the moment she noticed that I was staring at her...

I then started to felt bad.. Ash is really happy with Serena around...

I think I should really let him g... G...

No...

I shouldn't...

I have to fight for him because if you love a person you'll set him—

you'll fight for him!

Yeah! I'll fight for him!...

I wish..
