"Alright Serena, wait up," I said, meaning to say it in my head.

"You guys love each other way too much," Misty sighed.

"What do you mean? You're worse on time!"

"Whatever."

"Speaking of which, Brendan and I were planning on telling you guys about our relationship after we saved Dawn, but you guys already knew way earlier," Calem chuckled.

"I am your number one supporter, and the person who found out first," I smiled back.

We turned the corner in Magenta Plaza, which made us right in front of Lysandre Cafe.

"Lysandre, it's time to meet your doom."

I watched Ash as he opened the heavy glass doors with ease.

He's grown so much since the beginning of the school year.

He doesn't care that Misty broke up with him anymore, and he'd never do that without growing. Heck, Ash is even Misty's friend!

Though my brother would never realize that. It's his personality, after all. It's what makes him a human being. All humans have their flaws, and being dense is one of Ash's biggest. He probably doesn't even know what dense means!

"Who opened the door?" A rough voice from inside of the cafe yelled. Stupid head, intruding my thoughts.

"I'm Ash Ketchum, and I've come to see Serena and Dawn!"

"Our prisoners? Please, you can't see them. We have to have a Pokémon battle first."

I looked at Ash with concern. These people are adults and thieves, they could have any Pokémon out there.

"You're on," Ash agreed, eyes filled of anger, bravery, and determination.

Like I said earlier, he's grown so much.

"But Ash, he's an adult, he could have way stronger Pokémon than you-"

"Does it look like I care, Misty?" I asked, looking back at them. "My girlfriend and her friend are locked back in this hellhole, so I'm going to get them out!"

"Ash, I didn't mean it like that..." Misty replied.

"I am strong, I'll be fine. Stop worrying about the Pokémon champion," I said, with angry eyes, as I flipped my hat around. "It's battle time."

The worker was at the other side of the bar, so I walked over.

"Sorry if I was offensive," I sighed. "These people just make me super angry."

Not. If you idiots- why am I calling them idiots? They're just helping me. Okay, calm down Ash Ketchum. I have no clue why I'm so angry right now.

"Come on out, Charizard!" The trainer yelled, and I sighed. I thought of Alain.

"I choose you, Greninja!"

"Use Crimson Dive!"

"Dodge, and use Water Shuriken!"

"Greninja dodged the move that would've one shot it, as it went in for a few quick hit water shurikens, all five hitting! 15 x 5 x 2 = 150 people!"

Charizard - 70

Greninja - 130

I smiled at the effects.

"Water Shuriken!"

"Two water shurikens hit Charizard, causing it to feint! The winner of this battle is Ash!"

That was pathetic. I know I'm starting to act like Paul, but seriously, pathetic.

"Oh no! Now he'll figure out that the password is 'open sesame'!"

"Well no duh idiot, you just told me."

A. N.
Shots fired on the Pokémon X/Y games. I love them too! XD

"Oh, shoot. Boss I didn't tell!"

I sighed at the grunt's stupidity. I walked over to the beer crates where a waitress was waiting.

"If you want to get to our base, you have to beat me first," she smiled, breaking all of her waitress clothes. She now had an orange suit on.

"This is the suit of Team Flare!" She then put her right arm above her head, like she was performing a Z-Move or something.

"Now, go Chikorita!"

"This is so stupid," I chuckled. "Go, Infernape!"

"Use Flare Up!" I yelled, giving Chikorita a 400 hit.

"New overkill in history, 340 damage over! Congratulations!" Misty called.

"Thanks, Misty."

"Ugh, fine. This is the switch you need to use to open the door. You need a password, though."

I nodded, as I turned the lever clockwise.

"Serena? What are you doing down here?" I asked, surprised to see her get thrown in the same cell as me.

"They took me too, Dawn," Serena explained. "I feel Ash's presence, though. We'll be out of here soon."

"Okay! You guys need to catch me up on everything. Is carbongame, ego, and amour things yet???" I asked, and Serena looked shocked.

"They all are..."

"YESSSSSS!!!!!!!"
