Ash's POV

'Not again...' I facepalmed, Lucario, who's right beside me, and Pikachu, who was on my shoulder, grinned and smirked evilly, I gave them death glares.

'Go right ahead master, she needs you.' Lucario smirked, offering a way for me to go through, Pikachu, who's still on my shoulder, continued on grinning.

'Why you-'

'Oh look! She's now in trouble!' Lucario cut me off, still smirking, Pikachu kept nudging my shoulder, forcing me to go ahead and save the girl.

'Ugh, I'm so gonna get you two later.' Veins popped above my head, the two laughed at this.

Then we three spread everywhere, trapping the other three who's gonna hurt the girl.

Serena's POV

"Help..." I murmured. The three, who's right in front of me, kept there stand and protected me from any incoming attacks.

"Sylveon look out!" Another Flamethrower was thrown at Sylveon, thankfully, Sylveon was too quick to dodge this one.

I can't handle all these three big pokemons, I even lost to Dawn, and these? This is gonna be my end.

'Del, delphox!'

'Pancham pan!'

'Sylv, veon!'

The three encouraged me to battle the other three, but I really can't do it, there's no way I can win with these three.

"I-I...I just can't..." Tears ran down on my cheeks, my three Pokemons gave me worried looks.

"Oh, you're seeing this?"

"What a crybaby."

"This is gonna be your end."

The other three laughed maniacally, now, more tears were running down, or I should say, I'm now crying, Sylveon, Pancham, and Delphox, stood around me, protecting me from those three.

"Let's end this, Electivire, Thunderbolt!

"Magmortar, Flamethrower!

"Rhyperior, Stone Edge!"

I heard them shout their respective moves, I glanced at my three Pokemons, for the last time I think, before closing my eyes.

'This is it, this is gonna be my end, this is it, this is gonna be my-'

'BOOM!'

Thick cloud of dust were formed, my three Pokemons have trouble standing there ground, I covered my eyes to prevent dust form entering my eyes...wait...what just happened?!

"Sylveon, Pancham, Delphox, are you okay?!" I shouted, the dust cloud was still there.

'Cham!'

'Veon!'

'Del!'

I sighed in relief as I see Sylveon, Pancham, and Delphox, just okay, removing the dust from there body. But what bugs me is...

"Who saved me?" I asked to no one, Sylveon, Pancham and Delphox, who heard the question, looked around.

A while ago, I can hear someone yell a command, wait, it was clearly a command, because before the explosion, I heard someone yelled Thunderbolt and Aura Sphere, or is it just me?

The three thugs got up with irritated looks, they also looked around, seeing if theirs someone who is also here. But, I can't see anyone, just me and these three stupid idiots.

"Now, who's that bastard who interfered with us!" The man, who looked like there boss with the Rhyperior, shouted with irritated tone.

"He will surely pay for what he did!" Another man, who was on the right of the boss, yelled, still looking around, his Magmortar also did the same.

"Once I find him, I'm gonna rip him into pieces!" The man from the left side said, his Electivire was now very angry.

And what's left...the one who saved me, I still looked around, until...

"Serena!" A feminine voice called out, I turned around, only to see everyone running towards me. The one who called was probably Dawn.

"Are you okay? What happened to you?" May asked, I raised my hand, hoping that will stop her from raining me with questions.

"Hey you! You're gonna pay for what you did! Arcanine let's go!" Gary, tossed a pokeball, revealing his Arcanine, Arcanine barked before doing battle stance.

"Steelix, help us out! Brock also tossed his pokeball, and Steelix came out from it, Steelix roared loudly. I'm thankful that they came in time, if not, maybe that's my end.

"Arcanine, Extremespeed!

"Steelix, use Dig!"

Steelix burrowed itself to the ground, while Arcanine charged at the three in a fast pace, Arcanine hit the three of them, then a moment later, Steelix came out from the ground and also hit the three of them.

"You're gonna regret what you did, Blaziken, come out and use Blaze Kick!" May angrily said before tossing a pokeball, revealing Blaziken.

Blaziken shouted it's name before jumping high in the air, then it's feet suddenly glowed blazing red, before using the move towards the three. Blaziken hit all of them, the three stepped back, injured and tired.

"Get up and use Earthquake!"

"Electivire, Wild Charge!"

"Magmortar, Fire Blast!"

Rhyperior got up and used Earthquake, while Electivire charged further using Wild Charge, Magmortar decided to use a ranged attack and used Fire Blast.

Brock, May and Gary's eyes widened, then they quickly called out.

"Dodge all of you!" The three shouted in unison, Steelix, Arcanine, and Blaziken nodded before dodging all of the attacks(don't ask me how Steelix dodged those attacks XD) We sighed in relief, on the other hand, the other three was now fuming in anger.

"Let's end this one, Serena, would you mind helping me out?" Dawn asked me, she offered her hand at me, I looked at her questioningly.

"Look, I'm really sorry for what happened earlier, can we be friends again? That was just a mock battle, you can still train with us!" Dawn squealed, even though there's a part in my heart that is filled with hatred, I still don't want our friendship to be ruined just because of that.

I nodded at Dawn, then shook her hand, Dawn gave me a thank-you smile, before tossing up a pokeball.

"Empoleon, come out!" Empoleon came out from the pokeball and did battle stance, I looked at Delphox, Delphox understood this and also did battle stance.

"Empoleon, Hydro Pump! Let's end this!"

"Delphox, this is for payback, Mystical Fire!"

We shouted in unison, Empoleon fired Hydro Pump while Delphox used up her Mystical Fire, everytime she uses that move, it's really beautiful to look at.

The attacks hit Magmortar, Electivire, and Rhyperior, they are too slow to dodge, making them eat the attacks, it made a thick cloud of dust.

The dust cloud was gone, and revealed a fainted Magmortar, Electivire and Rhyperior, the three thugs quickly recalled back there Pokemons, before running away, yelling some words like 'you're gonna pay for this!'.

We recalled back our Pokemon, then all of them stared at me, those stares filled with questions and curiosity.

"Why are you here in the first place?" Paul suddenly asked, I sweat-dropped at this.

"T-To have some nice air?" I reasoned out, it's true anyways, I want some fresh air from this forest, because as what I said, this forest is calm and soothing.

"You could've told us! You know there's always trouble anywhere!" May yelled softly at me, I can't help but walk around this forest. I've been here everytime.

"The important thing is, you're okay now." Dawn said, she patted my head, and also gave me a reassuring smile. Everyone also nodded at this. But what intrigues me is...

"How do you guys know that I'm here in the first place? I didn't even tell anyone of you about this place." I asked them, that question made them look at each other, I stared at them curiously.

"The thing is, a Pidgey just suddenly showed up, it was carrying a letter." Brock said.

A letter? What's with that letter? And more importantly, who sent the Pidgey to them?

"It says that you're in trouble, it does even have a map on where you're located, but at first, were not really sure about that, we just followed the map and, here we are." Gary explained.

A letter and a map attached to it...this is now really confusing, first question, who wrote the letter, second, how does this person know where I am?

"Don't you find it mysterious? I mean, he or she was too quick to move, he or she made a letter, then sent it to you guys." I asked them, they nodded in response. The one who wrote the letter really is mysterious.

"But what's really important is that you're fine now, come on, let's go back to the school, you have a lot of lessons to catch up." Dawn said to me.

I nodded in response, then we went back to the school, but what I don't want to forget is, who saved me back then...

Ash's POV

'Sending a Pidgey so that the other will save her, not the real master I know there.' Lucario grinned. Pikachu also agreed at this.

'Can you please stop Lucario.' I groaned at Lucario, the two laughed at this.

'Thank you for your participation Pidgey.' Lucario thanked Pidgey, who was right on my head, I and Pikachu nodded at this, Pidgey chirped before flying away.

'Pidgey really did her role there.' Lucario laughed. Pikachu, being the one who called Pidgey, also nodded.

'I'm glad that everything's fine.' I said to no one. The two agreed at this. 'I wonder what will happen next.'

'Whatever happens next, I'm sure that you will be needed.' Lucario grinned, Pikachu sat on my shoulder, and agreed at this.

'Ugh, can you just...stop.'
