'Ash how does this one look?' Serena said posing in a red dress. Ash looked up and almost fell over. Her beauty made Ash blush red as a tomato. 'This one is the best of the bunch' Ash said. Serena blushed and hugged Ash, 'Aww, I knew you'd had the right taste' Serena said. Ash smiled and pulled away. 'Anytime?' He said doing a gesture with his hat. Serena went off to pay for the dress, while Ash sat down.

He started looking around before he felt a pair of eyes watching him. He swivelled his head right round and saw two men walk off. They both wore red suits, which made Ash think. 'I've seen them before' Ash said. Pikachu hopped onto his shoulder trying to look where he was looking at. 'Pikachu?' Pikachu said confused as he just saw a women in her bikini. The lady turned to Ash and started scowling at him. Ash walked quickly away and into a dark corridor.

'Where are we?' Ash looked around but couldn't see anything. He then heard muffled voices coming from a cabin. The door was slightly ajar letting out some light into the corridor. Ash pressed up against the wall and listened closely.

'Sir, are you sure that the boy has the power?' A man, who sounded young said. 'Yes he does' A man elder said. Ash recognised the voice and peeped through the tiny gap. He saw Lysandre and the two grunts from earlier standing up. 'But why do we need that power?' One of the grunts said. Lysandre turned away from the cabin window and looked at the grunt, making him cower.

'Thats synchronisation is an ancient power. It was the strongest of the bunch. It's a rare gift' Lynsadre said, 'you saw the boy, he didn't need a key stone for it.' Lysandre said. The grunts looked at each other confused. 'How will that help us?' The other grunts asked. 'Oh don't worry, I have it all planned' Lysandre said. He was about to explain the plan when Ash felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Max standing there.

'Hey A...' Max started speaking but Ash desperately covered his mouth. Their was silence. Footsteps were heard approaching the door quick and fast. Lysnadre walked out and saw an empty corridor, 'bloody kids' he grunted and slammed the door shut causing an echo.

Ash came out of the shadows and let go of Max's mouth. 'Wha-' Max started. 'Shhh, cmon' Ash said and dragged him back to the main deck. 'Ash what were you doing?' Max asked. Ash was sweating crazily after what he had just heard. 'Ash?' Max said. Ash snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the young boy. 'Oh sorry, what?' Ash said wiping of his sweat. 'Nothing?' Max said looking at him suspiciously.

They both walked in silence until they were back with Serena, Clemont and Bonnie. 'Where did you two go? We were so worried' Serena said slightly angry. 'Sorry I had to take him to the toilet' Ash said. He looked over to Max hoping he would go with the flow. Max thought about it first and decided to go with it, 'yeah it was a nice and relaxing feeling' Max said. Ash mouthed a thank you. Max shrugged in reply. 'Well that's nice, anyway I got you and Bonnie cookies!' Serena said. Max and Bonnie jumped in excitement and grabbed the packet. 'Why don't you guys run along over there for a while' Clemont said. The kids instantly ran off, with no time to waste.

Mean while the two teens turned to Ash suspiciously, 'where did you go' Serena eyed him. Ash started to sweat nervously knowing he was busted. 'Yeah we caught the bluff.' Clemont said. Ash sighed, 'alright fine' he started explaining what he over heard in the conversation between Lysandre and the two grunts.

'You didn't get caught?' Serena asked. Ash shook his head causing the teens to breathe a sigh of relief, 'but they know I'm here' Ash added. They both looked at him in fear. 'What!?' They exclaimed. 'They saw me earlier, and I sorta followed them' Ash said scratching the back of his head.

'Now what? You'll have to stay hidden' Serena said, sounding unenthusiastic at that idea. 'No need, we're arriving soon' Clemont pointed at the island as to which they were approaching. 'Well we better get our stuff' Ash said. The duo nodded and followed him back to their cabin.

'We hope you had a pleasant ride!' The women announced through a microphone as everyone left the ferry which was docked up on the islands edge. 'This beach is beautiful' Serena said twirling around in the sand.

Ash felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around. He saw Miette standing there with a tint of pink on her cheek. 'You still didn't say sorry' She said. Ash looked confused, 'sorry what?' Ash replied. 'When you stared at me' Miette said eying Serena. Serena felt anger rise up in he chest. She grabbed Ash's hand.

'Yo-you two are.. A thing?' Miette said with a lump in her throat. The couple nodded happily to the dismay of Miette, 'well I'm happy for you guys' she said. She walked up to Serena. 'Well see you at the show cases.' She whispered slyly and walked off. Serena sighed as she walked off, 'why does she look mad' Ash asked. 'Maybe because you looked at her, dense boy' Serena giggled and started walking towards a taxi stand. 'Hey, I didn't mean to stare at her' Ash said walking after Serena.

'This is why I don't want a girlfriend' Max said. The two siblings looked at him with raised eyebrows, 'what!?' Max said blushing furiously. 'Dense as well' Bonnie said grabbing his hand and running after Serena and Ash. Clemont stood there, 'now I'm the lonely one' he said. He looked around and saw girls staring at him. He freaked out and ran towards the others faster than ever before.

'Woah Clemont whats up?' Ash said patting the gym leaders back as he panted heavily. 'Nothing' he managed to say. 'Well let's jump in and head to our hotel' Ash said. The gang sat in the taxi which was specially designed for their hotel.

They had a nice decent ride as they looked at view of the Island. It was getting dusk already making the scenery even better. 'Isn't this beautiful' Serena said resting on Ash's chest. 'Yeah it sure is' Ash said. The taxi parked up in front of a hotel which had a giant Greninja cut out with a large Shuriken on it's back. 'Strange..' Ash said looking at the statue.

'Well enjoy your stay!' The driver said and drove off. The gang grabbed their luggage and headed inside the hotel. It was a large and spacious lobby, like a 5 star hotel. 'Wow Ash this is sooo amazing' Bonnie said  and jumping onto a leather couch. 'You wait here while I get the keys' Ash said. The others sat down with Bonnie while Ash walked to the counter.

He saw a Shuriken in the ceiling letting a stream of water land into the fountain beneath it. Ash felt a tug in his gut and stopped walking. His attention was forced towards the fountain and saw a figure disparate in the water. The feeling disappeared and Ash looked confused. 'That looked like my...' Ash thought.

'Hello how may I help you!' The employee said looking at Ash. Ash turned to the lady, 'Oh yes, I was booked in at this hotel' Ash spoke but turned back to the fountain. 'Okay, what is your name?' The lady asked. Ash still had his gaze on the fountain but nothing happened. 'Aaron Nakamura' Ash said and looked at the lady. She nodded and started typing on her computer.

'Very well, fourth floor. Room 414' The lady said and handed a key to Ash. Ash thanked her and started walking away. The feeling returned and his gaze shot at the fountain once again. The figure was standing there. Ash was about to stop but felt a large thump on his head. He looked forward and saw that he had bumped into a girl. She was scrambling around for her books. Ash helped her pick them up and apologised, 'Sorry,' Ash said he saw a name tag on her chest, 'Rachel' Ash added. 'Its okay, and thanks' Rachel blushed before walking off. Ash scratched his head and turned to the fountain again but nothing to was there. He just shrugged and walked off.

'This is so big' Bonnie said looking at the room blushing. It had an upstairs as well, Bonnie and Max instantly ran upstairs to explore. 'This is some room' Clemont whistled and started to look around. 'Wow, I would definitely live here' Serena said with sparkles in her eyes.

'Well go get you rooms and Clemont if you don't mind can you make dinner?' Ash asked. 'Anytime Ash!' Clemont winked before running upstairs. Ash and Serena followed him upstairs and saw three bedrooms on the floor. Clemont and Bonnie had taken one while Max took the other.

'Well this is ours' Serena said walking into the room. Sparkles returned in her eyes and did a fan girl scream. 'Wow this room is kawaii,' She said and jumped onto the bed. 'Well I sure would love to get used to it' Ash said.

He walked over to the cupboard and opened it. It was half filled with, PokéBalls, a pokédex and trainer equipments. In the other half it was full of dresses and make up. Ash looked confused. He saw a not under a master ball. He picked it up;

Dear Ash,

Well I hope you find these equipments necessary at the right time, make sure to use them well! Also I have put a note under your girlfriends dresses saying you got them for her, so thank me later and don't worry you can take the credit. By the way can't wait to see you battle!

Red

Ash finished reading the letter looking confused as hell, 'who is Red?' Ash asked himself. He then contemplated on telling Serena but she already spotted the dresses and rushed over. 'Wow! So beautiful dresses' She said picking some of them out. She them found a note under one of them and picked it up. She started scanning through it, occasionally looking at Ash.

Once she finished a huge blush engulfed her face, 'Ash you got these for me?' she said happily. Ash stood their frozen. He didn't know what to do. He then felt Serena wrap her arms around Ash and give him several pecks on the cheeks. 'Your the best Ash!' She said.

After their hugging was done, they all headed downstairs to check out the remaining places. Ash spotted a sheet of paper, which read;

'Guys looks like we have some activities to do before the tournament begins' Ash said. He handed the sheet to Serena whose eyes lit up at the poké vision competition. She then handed it to Clemont who acknowledged at these and handed it back to Ash, 'So we have a month, this will be good training' Clemont said. Ash nodded balling his fist in front of him. 'I will work hard all the way!' Ash said. 'Count me in!' Serena said. 'Me too' Clemont said. Ash looked at the duo, 'well tomorrow we start with Serena and your pokévision' Ash said.

'I have so many dresses to choose from! Ash your helping me!' Serena said and dragged Ash to their room.
