After receiving the map from Madra , the trio had once again set out on their Quest but the temperament was more or less hostile among them .

Serena had never been madder than she was now at Ash and it was all thanks to Rihana, but the duo didn't know that .

Rihana couldn't help though but feel guilt for what she was doing. She was no different from a jealous girl screwing the whole team and it was really quite immature on her part. She sighed. Alright! She could do one thing .

She wouldn't resort to such deceptions again at least . She can't help clinging close to Ash if she could but would try her hardest to respect the boundary between them . She was also not sure that what exactly brought such sudden change upon her. Was it Ash who looked very upset and she didn't like seeing him like this or Serena , whose face showed clear signs of being hurt like a branch of fragile tree ..

Whatever it was , she had decided on that .

"Look! Serena! It was an accident. We just made up few days ago . Don't throw all that way because of this....", Ash said as Serena continued pouting.

"Fine ! If you don't forgive me , then I. .uhm... wouldn't tell you new nickname I came up with for you ." Ash sighed folding his hands as Serena's ears perked up like ears of bunny .

Really? Ash ! He came up with a nickname for her . Oh ! That is so adorable...wait ! No ! He is just trying to trick her.  Yeah ! She won't fall for this bait . Serena thought internally .

"Tell her Rihana , I have right?" Ash looked at Rihana pleadingly as she cursed herself and nodded.

Serena had no choice but to accept. Surely Rihana wouldn't be supporting him too in his fabrication.

"Fine! But I will decide on how good it will be ..." She pouted.

"Oh! I don't know. I mean maybe you would deny any nickname I come up with in your demeanour right now , Velvetos.." Ash smiled .

Rihana looked at him frozen.  What the.

"Ash ! Please tell me that I heard you incorrectly. Are you sure that is nickname?" Rihana asked him as Serena glared at Ash .

"Hey ! You are supposed to support me!" Ash looked at her .

"I am sorry but as a girl, I don't find that nickname in any manner adorable or even a nickname so I doubt that Serena would..." Rihana began as Serena wrapped her arms around Ash bringing him closer.

"Oh ! It is just like you ." She chuckled .

"I give up . Never mind ." Rihana sighed to herself as she saw her laughing .

"Don't you get it , Rihana ? It is velvet plus Pokemon name ending" Serena asked her .

"Am I supposed to get that reference because I regret to inform you that I don't ?" She crossed her arms .

"Well ! Velvet is my fav colour and Ash loves Pokemon. So it is like combination of both of our likings ." Serena said blushing. Ash breathed a sigh of relief. Oh ! Lucky him that Serena overthinks ..

"Well ! I am glad that you two made up so now where are we going?" She asked.

"Sunnytown. It is not far so we will be there by tomorrow if we keep going at same pace.  Anyway! I wanted to show you guys something that I bought from the town ." Ash put his bag down as both girls leaned on him curiously.

A square digital board appeared .

"Umm...is it new mobile?" Serena asked.

"No! I mean ...it is like that but. Let me just show you ..here! Pick a Pokemon out of this list ." Ash told them as both looked at each other confused.

"Alright! Raichu for me ." Serena said.

"Swallow for me. " Rihana said..

"Let's go with Raichu." Ash said as Rihana pouted.

Ash clicked a few buttons as a tremor was felt in ground.

Barely few seconds passed until they started to hear rustling among the bushes and Raichu jumped out.

"What the ...how did you do that ?" Serena asked as Rihana brought out her Blazikien to catch Raichu.

"Basically this device acts like gos and presents all the Pokemon present in vicinity . Then when some Pokemon is clicked, it sends out a radio wave which transmits "to come here" as a frequency into the air passing through each of the particle until it dominates the cerebral cortex of that Pokemon dragging it to where we are as fast as it can or that is what the guy from whom I bought told me ." He finished.

"Wow ! This thing is awesome...we don't even have to find Pokemon. They can just come here and we can then fight them and catch them." Rihana remarked as Blazikien dodged Raichu's thunderbolt attack .

"Yeah ! But once they reach us, the Pokemon is free to run away and do what they want . Also we can't use it for second time on that  same Pokemon. So we only got one shot and we gotta make it count." Ash explained as Rihana and Serena nodded.

"Don't worry. This catch is all mine " Rihana bit her lips.

Somewhere else

"The preparations are complete. In coming weeks , the world will see a reckoning it cannot ignore. Very very soon." A guy laughed sitting on his chair

"Of course. Team Heiwa will conquer the world." Soldiers bowed their head in defiance as the man looked pleased at accomplishing such a task .

"What is our next step !" A girl asked him.

"Next step ...well party . After all , we are all ready now , aren't we?"He chuckled .

As the journey continues
