"Ash get up, we have to go" Serena said shouting so Ash could wake up. Ash gave no response and continued snoring. Pikachu then came in the tent, already knowing what to do. Pikachu's cheeks began to erupt with sparks and releases a thunderbolt. It hit Ash causing him to jump in shock and get out of bed. "Alright, alright I'm up" Ash said. "Well atleast somethings haven't changed" Serena said sighing as well, "everyone is waiting so hurry up" Serena said and walked out of the tent.

After a few minutes Ash got his stuff ready and packed his tent away. He made his way to the group who were waiting for him at the reflection cave. "Jeez Ash, never knew I would wake up before you, I'm taking this as a compliment to myself " Gary said surprised at Ash and himself, to be honest. "Haha very funny, and by the way I have not had enough sleep so maybe that's why okay" Ash said defending himself. "Whatever" Gary replied. "Are you both done, because I want to go" Misty said annoyed. The two boys nodded and led their groups into the cave.

Kaylin grabbed Serena's hand for comfort as she was quite scared of her experience she had before in the cave. "I'm scared those bad people might come" Kaylin said holding Serena's hand. "It's okay sweetie, Ash and I as well as the others are here for you so don't panic" Serena said reassuring the little kid. "Okie dokie mommy" Kaylin said. Serena blushed when she said mommy realising it meant that Ash and her were married, unofficially.

Everyone else smiled at the scene but Tierno and Miette, who cringed their pants of at the scene. "I need to make my move fast" They both thought in their head. Miette walked over to Ash while Tierno walked over to Serena and Kaylin. "Hey Ash can I hold your hand, I'm kinda scared" Miette said. "Uh why you asking me all of a sudden" Ash replied. "Umm, I felt more worried here than before some um hehe yeah" Miette said unconvincingly. "Whatever, it's not that bad just keep calm and you'll be fine" Ash replied. Miette was furious inside as her attempt failed. "I need to try harder" She thought and continued walking with Shauna.

"Hey Serena, you seem a little worried" Tierno said. "Well, I've never been fond of caves before, so yes I am a bit nervous" Serena replied. "Oh well in that case would you like me to hold..." Tierno was cut off. "Mommy can we go to daddy, I want to talk to Pikachu and Greninja" Kaylin said dragging Serena to Ash, who was talking to his Pokémon. "My hand.." Tierno finished off his sentence to the air as he saw Serena reach Ash. "God dammit, I'll need more chances" Tierno said frustrated. He went to trevor and started to talk with him to get his mind of Serena for a bit.

"Hey Daddy! Can I hold Pikachu?" Kaylin pleaded. Pikachu instantly jumped out and into Kaylin's arms as she let go of Serena's hand. Ash and Serena giggled at the cuteness of Pikachu and Kaylin having fun. "Aren't they just cute" Serena said to Ash. "Yeah like you.. I mean yeah they are really cute" Ash said quickly hoping Serena wouldn't notice. Serena acted as if she did not notice but did and blushed, did he really say that!? Serena squealed in her head.

Suddenly a small explosion could be heard up ahead of the group causing them to halt.

"What was that" May said holding dawn in fear, as Dawn was doing the same.

"Oh don't worry it must be rocks falling" Tierno said. "I don't know what you heard but it sounded much louder than rocks" Misty said to Tierno who just shrugged. Ash stopped as he sensed something up ahead. This caused everyone else to stop in their tracks. Ash's eyes went blue. Everyone was surprised at what he was doing. Ash scanned the area and saw two bodies through the tunnel in front with two flying types.

"There are grunts through there" Ash said pointing at the opening in front of the group. "How do you know?" Paul asked. "I used x-ray vision" Ash replied making everyone's mouths drop. "I told you he was houdini" Gary said using the situation at his advantage. Everyone rolled their eyes at the comment knowing the stupidity that always comes out of Gary.

"Anyway we'll have to get rid of them first to get to geosenge town, so let's not waste time" Ash said walking ahead with his two Pokémon.

"Mommy I'm scared more now" Kaylin said hugging Serena. "Let's go to Ash, then we'll definitely be safe" Serena said taking Kaylin to Ash.

Everyone else looked on at the close bonds that had just started between the trio.

"They really make a good couple" May said looking on. "Yeah I wish I had someone like Ash" Misty said. "Yeah, if I was a girl I would have asked him out by now" Gary said causing everyone to look at him. "Keep dreaming, he's Serena's" Calem said laughing. "Well I'm just saying she's lucky, also the guy is like houdini so she is extra lucky" Gary said, making everyone sweat drop.

"Enough talking now let's go before we get lost" Misty said grabbing Gary's ears and virtually dragging him forward. Then the rest followed the angry Misty and the rather misfortunate Gary.

With Ash, Serena and Kaylin; "Daddy please beat those baddies" Kaylin said. "Don't worry, we got this" Ash said. "Um Ash can I hold your hand, I'm kinda scared" Serena said blushing. "Sure, you don't need to Ask by the way" Ash said winking causing Serena to blush even more. Serena grabbed Ash's hand and then grabbed Kaylin's hand again and walked on with the group behind them awwing at them (mainly the girls, would be weird if the boys done it XD).

•••••

"Talonflame any sightings of the boy?" A grunt asked. Talonflame shook its head. The grunt banged his fist in frustration. "Use flamethrower on that big rock" The grunt said. Talonflame rushed towards the rock with fire enveloping its body. It made heavy contact making the sound seem like an explosion.

"Oi John do you think we'll find that little girl here?" The grunt said to the other grunt who's name was John.

"Chances are very slim, David. But let's hope they pop out" John shouted across to David. As soon as he finished speaking Ash, Serena and Kaylin's bodies came into view for the two grunts. They recognised them immediately.

"Speak of the devil, they just popped out" David said in awe looking at John who was trying to show of at his prediction.

"You two again!?" Ash shouted seeing the two grunts. Serena's grip tightened on Ash's hand. "You know them?" She enquired. "They are the ones who were chasing Kaylin and the ones I stopped" Ash explained. Serena looked at Kaylin who had no hidden behind her legs away from the grunts.

"Well if it isn't the boy who took our little girl away. We want her back" John said with a vicious tone. "No she is not yours" Serena shouted back to the grunts. "Looks like we can make double our wages with her as well. Her beauty will help our special man in work won't she?" David said to John. "Oh yes, she will definitely help with us" John said looking at her. Fear struck in Serena at Johns look. She went behind Ash and held onto his back.

"Gone to your boyfriend you slag" John said. The two grunts started laughing. Something in Ash clicked. Pure rage was biding inside his body. His eyes were going pure red. "No one insults Serena!" He shouted in a really deep voice. Ash's were red, no glimpse of any whiteness or comfort in his eyes as his fists were clenched tightly revealing loads of veins. Serena looked in shock as she had never seen Ash so angry.

"Pikachu use thunderbolt on all of them" Ash said in his deep voice. Pikachu obeyed and released a powerful thunderbolt causing the grunts to fly backwards and their talonflames to faint and fall to the ground. Ash was breathing heavily in anger.

"Thunderbolt bolt agai.." Ash stopped and half choked before falling on his knees. A thing happened when mega evolved Pokémon return to their normal form but for Ash instead of blue it was red aura.

(You know when that thing happens when a Pokemon returns to its normal form mega evolution the blue thing that goes around the Pokemon, thats what basically happened to Ash. Sorry for the bad explanation).

"Ash are you okay?" Serena said as she grabbed him by the shoulders. Ash opened his eyes and was glad to see Serena. "Oh thank god you two are okay" Ash said hugging Serena and Kaylin, but causing Serena to blush really hard.

"Ye-yeah I'm fine and so is Kaylin but what happened" Serena asked pulling away from the hug as did Kaylin.

"When he called you, you know what, something snapped and I don't know what happened from then" Ash said. Everyone look confused as they did not know what had happened as well.

"Let's just get to Geosenge and rest up there, more members could be lurking here" Brock said. The group nodded and this time Brock led the group out with Ash at the back with Serena and Kaylin.

"Daddy saved us again. He's a real superhero"Kaylin said making Serena and Ash chuckle. "I don't think I'm a superhero, I'm just Ash" Ash replied. "Well you are our superhero" Serena said winking making Ash blush a bit. Luckily for him Serena took no notice of the blush. "Well let's catch up to them" Serena said as she and Kaylin ran up ahead to Shauna and the others. Ash was about to but was stopped.

"Ash, you are not in the state to carry on. You need to take a 2-3 day rest" Arceus said through the Jewel. "Why, I feel perfectly fine" Ash lied. "You can't fool m Ash, I know what happened earlier. If it keeps happening it will use your energy and will interfere with your journey" Arceus said. "What do you mean?" Ash said not understanding. "Every time you feel anger, you don't seem the same. You change into a different and more darker person. The longer that happens it will make you angrier by the day" Arceus said. "But I'm perfectly fine" Ash shouted. "See that is what I meant, unnecessary anger released. Look just take a rest and make sure no danger gets to you. I'll let you know when I find out what's happening to you" Arceus said before leaving the Jewel.

"He's right master, you don't act the way you normally do" Greninja said. "Pika Pikachu" Pikachu agreed with Greninja. "Alright fine I'll take a rest" Ash said. He walked faster to catch up with the group.

•••••

"Hey where's Ash?" Clemont asked noticing Ash wasn't with Serena and Kaylin.

"Oh yeah, we told him to come" Serena said looking around.

"Don't tell me he's lost" Misty said annoyed. Just as she said that Ash came into view of the group. The group sweatdropped as he walked towards them.

"What took you so long" Misty said annoyed. "I dropped something so I had to find it" Ash lied. "You need to be careful cause I have no patience" Misty said before going back to Dawn and May.

"The exit is not to far, in fact here it is" Brock said pointing at the end of the cave which revealed an exit believe it or not. The group made their way out with caution as they expected the city to be filled with Rocket or Flare members. Surprisingly the city looked rather empty which shocked everyone in the group.

"Ash did you take Geosenge's army down?" Gary asked. "I do not recall coming here" Ash said. "Then that means we might have someone on our side" Miette said getting everyone's hopes up.

The group walked further but were stopped by a flamethrower that hit just in front of them. A mega evolved Charizard and two hooded figures with landed on the ground in front of them. The man got of his Charizard and took Ash by the collar. His other partner came behind him and watched.

"Who are you guys and what is your business in this town" The man said in Ash's face. "Nothing, we are just a bunch of weary travellers" Ash said. "A lie!" The man shouted and threw Ash to the ground. "You guys are spies for Team Rocket aren't you" The man said.

"Me work for Team Rocket. Are you out of your bloody mind. No way will I work for those people" Ash stood up and shouted at the man. "Why should I trust you. Blue check them" The man said. The other figure went up to Serena and was about to check her. Serena stood in fear.

"Pikachu electroball" Ash said in anger. Pikachu released an electro ball which hit the foot of the figure causing it to stumble backwards and fall to the ground. "No one touches Serena" Ash said in anger. Serena went and hid behind Ash. "Calm down we were just checking if you are rocket members" The man said. "As I have said before me working for Team Rocket is never happening. Also if we were rocket members we would have attacked you right now" Ash said. "Yeah daddy is right he saved me from the bad people" Kaylin said. The man looked at the girl and recognised her.

"Your the girl who was taken by Team rocket" the man said as he made his way to the girl. Ash saw what he was doing and stood in front of Kaylin causing the man to stop.

"What's your business with her" Ash said making it clear he's not letting anyone near her. "You really do have a brave soul, young one. I'm part of the PokeNation. The group that can stop evil" The man said taking the cloak of his body. He was wearing a red cap with a red jacket and black trousers. Everyone went wideyed.

"So you must have been the one to take down Geosenge's army" Bonnie said. "Yes we were, oh and my name is Red, Red Ketchum"  Red said. "And I'm his assistant, Blue" the female said. Everyone else introduced themselves but Ash who looked at the floor.

"And who are you?" Red asked Ash who was looking sadly at the ground. "My name is Ash, Ash Ketchum" Ash said sadly. Red went wideyed at his name. Everyone was shocked at the realisation of the scene.

"Son?"
