Ash's POV

"Pika, Pika Pi!" Pikachu shouts pointing to a double door on the side of the hallway. 'That must be the Health Centre! We are almost there hang on a bit longer Serena please.' I pleaded still holding Serena in my arms with her head curled up to my chest. "Is this is buddy?" I ask Pikachu making sure this is the right place. "Pikachu." he says while pointing to the golden plated sign right next to the double doors with the words Health Centre engraved into the square sign. 'Thank Arcues I taught Pikachu how to read.' I think to myself knowing that one day it would pay off and it sure did.

I use my back to push open the double doors knowing that Pikachu wouldn't be able to open them for me. We both entre the room filled with posters of Nurse Joy healing Pokémon and other posters that just have good advise to stay healthy on them.

I turn my attention to the desk  at the front of the room and noticed that there was nobody there. "Hello? Nurse? I have a student here you needs help right away." I say hoping that the Nurse didn't go on a lunch break.

"Yep, coming!" I her a soft female voice coming from the next room with the label Service Room  (I don't know it just sounded right :P ) above the door.  I turn my attention back down to Serena who still looked to be in a whole world of pain but was still unconscious in my arms.

"OH MY ARCEUS! WHAT HAPPENED!" I quickly look back up to see Nurse Joy standing outside of the Service Room in complete shock at looking at the injured Serena.

"Serena was getting bullied and she really need help." I explain to her while walking up to her to show Nurse Joy just how bad her situation really was.

"Alright, quickly bring her this way." She says while signalling me to follow her into the Service Room which without hesitation I did. When I walked in the room it was almost like walking into a hospital room except without all the life support equipment.

"Quick, place her on the bed." Nurse Joy ordered while preparing her first aid kit. I quickly walked over to the bed and slowly placed Serena down onto it. While I was putting her down I realised that she had her right hand tightly griping onto my shirt which made me slightly blush. I slowly and carefully made her loosen her grip on my shirt by moving her fingers out of their gripping position so that her arm would fall off me and land right beside her unconscious body.

"Please take a seat, she will be alright she is in safe hands." Says Nurse Joy while giving me a wink. 'She must have seen that I was worried about her and she was trying to comfort me.'  I think to myself as I walk over to seats that are next to wall opposite the bed.

Nurse joy quickly gets to work. She begins by slowly lifting up Serena's shirt revealing her skin and bra. I blush at the sight but I also realise just how thin she is while I turn my head away from her to give her some privacy.

"How did this happen again Mr...?" Nurse Joy asks forcing me to look back at her and Serena. "Ah... Ash, Ask Ketchum. And she was being bullied by a kid named Calem, I think his name was." I respond recalling the battle that I had with Calem and how poorly he treated other and his Pokémon. 'No doubt that his Chestnut is a strong Pokémon, but his Trainer treats him terribly.' I think to myself glad that I didn't loose to a trainer like that.

"Well... Thank you Ash for bringing her to me." She says turning to me and giving me a grateful smile. She then reaches over to the bench a grabs the first aid kit and begins patching up Serena's wounds.

"I'm just about done, just need to clean up her face and then she should be alright." Nurse Joy says which I sign in relief knowing that she is going to be ok. "Pika!" Pikachu says nuzzling my cheek with his.

"Thanks buddy, I couldn't have helped her without you." I say praising Pikachu for his efforts in the battle while I begin to pat the back of his head.

"You and Pikachu a close right?" I hear Nurse Joy ask causing me to look back up at her noticing she has a soft smile on her face.

"Yeah, me and Pikachu have been through everything together, we are best buddies." I say while turning my head back down to Pikachu who was sitting on my lap and continue to pat his head with a smile appearing on my face.

"I can tell. There isn't many if any students who have their Pokémon out during classes. That's how I can tell you and Pikachu are close." Answers Nurse Joy while wiping the blood off Serena's mouth and cleaning her cuts.

"Thanks, but today is my first day so I haven't really gotten to meet many people yet." I add. 'Wow what a weird first day!' I think to myself remembering everything that happened today from being shocked up by Pikachu to meeting Serena and her helping me out to the battle with Calem.

"Alright she's done. She should regain consciousness soon. Do you mind watching over her while I go get my lunch?" Nurse Joy asks while packing away her first aid kit.

"Sure! Thanks a lot for helping her out." I answer while giving her a happy smile.

"Great! Oh, and if she does wake up before I get back make sure to get her to get someone to take her home." She adds while walking out of the door.

"Got it, thanks again." I say waving goodbye to her.

*Growl    

I hear both mine and Pikachu's stomachs growling. 'Right we both haven't had lunch yet.' I relies while sweat dropping and reach into by green and white backpack to see what my Mum had packed for lunch.

I pull out two sandwiches and a bottle of ketchup. 'Don't have to be a genius to know what this is for.' I sweat drop while looking at the bottle of ketchup then looking at Pikachu who had stars in his eye.

I hand Pikachu his sandwich and his bottle of ketchup. "here you go buddy, eat up you deserve it." I say giving Pikachu a small smile. "PIKA!" he says in excitement, taking the bottle and the sandwich and starts to pour ketchup onto his sandwich. 'You have weird taste buds.' I think to myself while taking a bit of my own sandwich.

I couldn't help but glance over to Serena and think to myself 'why would those people want to make fun of you and hurt you? I don't get it? My mind starts to wonder back to how thin she is as I remember at my old school I learnt that some people in depression will try to starve themselves to death. 'Oh, Serena please don't tell me that is you. What have they done to you?' I think to myself in worry. "Don't worry Serena I'm going to help you." I mumble to myself as I continue to wait for her to wake up.
