***Serena's POV

"Where's Ash?" I ask, as I look out the window.

The orginal Pokedex Holders brought us to a mini mansion in the middle of the woods.

Inside is beautiful, with painting of different adventures, Pokemon and people alike.

"Don't worry about him, he'll be just fine," Crystal says, as she tends my wounds.

"How about Sarah? Is she ok? What about Yellow? I saw Misty was hurt too!"

"She's really hurt. She didn't realize how far she pushed herself until I picked her up, and she just collapsed. She'll be fine though, I'm sure of it. And as for the rest of them, they'll be fine too, they just have to rest," Crystal says, smiling.

"Ok."

I watch Silver and Gold sit in chairs a few feet away from me, whispering. Gold glaces over to me, then quickly looks away.

"Are they talking about me?" I ask.

Crystal rolls her eyes.

"Silver isn't. He's more mature than that. Gold, on the other hand, probably is. He's such a child, but you don't have to worry about him doing or saying anything stupid," Crystal says, putting the last band aid on me.

"Who's such a child?" Gold asks, as he comes over and hugs Crystal from behind. Crystal sighs, then smiles as she places her arms on his.

"You are."

"How? Did you see me take on the whole Pokemon army back there? A child wouldn't be able to do that!"

"Yeah, but May definitely helped," Silver says, walking up and sitting next to me.

"Serena, do you battle?" Gold asks.

"Well, I-"

"She strives to be Kalos Queen," Crystal says.

"I've seen some of your performances. I absolutely love them! You'll forsure win it next year!" Crystal explains with a smile.

I begin to blush.

"Thank you. It really means a lot."

"Whoa. And May is the Princess of Hoenn. So much royalty!" Gold says, letting go of Crystal and sitting next to her.

"Yeah, too bad they're only useful against grunts," Silver says, crossing his arms.

"Says the one who lost against Bryon," I mutter.

Everyone looks at me.

"You wouldn't last a second against him. Sorry if I upset you, but I'm simply stating the facts," Silver says, standing up and walking away.

"That may be true. But if I'm fighting for someone who I really care about, I'll do whatever it takes to make sure they don't end up hurt." I say.

Silver stops for second, then continues walking.

"Don't mind him Serena, he's just grumpy he lost," Gold says.

"Do you want to go check on your friends?" Crystal asks, standing up.

I nod and stand up as well.

"You girls go ahead. I'm going to stay here and make sure Dia and Pearl don't do anything stupid," Gold says, hearing yelling and noises coming from the other side of the hall.

"Dia and Pearl?" I ask, as we walk down the hall.

"Diamond and Pearl. They're the two guys that helped us escape. Platinum is the girl that was with them. She's actually the one who paid for all this," Crystal says as we open a door.

Inside, Sarah, Yellow, and Misty are laying in beds. May is sitting at the foot of Misty's bed, while Green is sitting next against the wall, away from all the beds.

"Have any of them woken up yet?" Crystal asks.

"Sarah was awake briefy, but she went back to sleep. Misty is exhausted, and I don't know what's wrong with Yellow," Green says, rubbing her face. May glaces at me, and smiles.

"Hey Serena," May says, walking up to me and gives me a hug. I hug her back.

"Do we know what happened to Sarah?" I ask.

"Just like everyone else, besides May, she was attacked by a Pokemon affected by Pengen," Crystal says.

"Oh no," May says, her face going pale.

"Luckily, we managed to defeat them, but not without some consequences," Green adds.

I walk over to Yellow and hold her hand.

"Thank you, for everything," I say, as I kiss her forehead. I then walk over to Sarah.

"Don't give up Sarah. You're strong. We both know it. You're a fighter. Keep on fighting."

Then I walk over to Misty.

"I'm sorry for everything you've gone through, but you still have lots to look foward to. So please, wake up."

I walk back to May, and we follow Green and Crystal out of the room.

"Are we having the meeting now?" Green asks Crystal. Crystal shakes her head.

"No, not yet. We're still waiting for a handful of people," Crystal says.

"Alright, then I'm going take a quick nap," Green says, glancing in the room one last time as she walks away.

"Come on guys, I'll show you each your rooms," Crystal says, as she leads us down a hall and take a couple turns. We come across a man hammering wooden letters on a door.

"Diamond!" Crystal yells. Diamond jumps, dropping the hammer on the floor. He quickly begins to blush and drops to pick up the hammer.

"What are you doing?"

"Well, see, Pearl ended up kicking me out of the kitchen and told me to do this favor for him. I only agreed because I thought it was a nice gesture to make our guests feel comfortable," Diamond says, walking over and offering his hand to May.

"I'm Diamond, but you can call me Dia," Dia says.

"I'm May," May answers, shaking her hand.

"And you must be Serena," Dia says, offering his hand. I smile and shake his hand.

"If you two are ever hungry, I'm the one to come to. Now, I gotta head back in the kitchen before Pearl and Gold burn down the house," Dia says, running off.

"He's nice," I say.

"Yeah, but also strange," Crystal says, rubbing her face.

We walk the rest of the hall, and we come across the two doors. One has my named spelled out on it, and the opposite side has May's spelled out.

"Here you girls go. Keys should be in the room. If you need anything, feel free to ask. There's a pool in the basement if you want to relax a bit in the water," Crystal says, smiling.

"Thanks a lot Crystal," I say.

"Yeah, thanks alot." May adds.

"No problem," Crystal says, as she walks off.

"What are you going to do?" I ask May.

"I'm going to bed," May mumbles, opening her door.

"What wrong?" I ask. May stops, and looks at me.

"Ash is a murderer Serena. That's what happened. He did it in front of my eyes, without hesitation. The worst part is, it doesn't change my feelings for him," May says, chuckling a bit.

"I'm in love with a murderer," she says, as she walks in her room and closes her door.

I take a deep breath, and walk in my room.

There's a bed in one corner, with a desk and chair on the opposite end. There's a rolling chair in the middle, and to the left of the entrance there's the bathroom. I throw my bag on the floor and sit on the bed.

"Oh Ash, what am I going to do with you?"

...

***Jason's POV

"Jason!" Ash yells, running down the hall with Dawn in his arms. I take a hard left and follow a white hallway. Alarms are blaring, with lights flashing red.

"I need to get her back! I owe it to her!" I yell, as I look through a glass window. Inside the room, there's a scientist holding a Pokeball. He has a Pengen injection in his other hand.

"Oh no you don't!" I yell, as I back up, and dive into the window, glass shattering and flying everywhere.

The scientist yells and falls back. I quickly get up and kick the scientist, causing him to drop the Pokeball and Pengen. I lift the scientist by by his collar and slam him against the wall.

"Is this Serena's Braixen?" I yell.

The scientist nods slowly, and I drop him to the ground. I grab the Pokeball off the ground, and throw the Pengen against the wall, breaking and spilling everywhere.

"Alright, now I'm ready to go."
