(Normal POV)

It was the next morning for Ash and his friends and they were already on the road. The night before Ash learned that the closes gym for him to go to would be the one in Coumarine City. But not only Ash was exited to get to Coumarine City Serena also learned the night before that the first showcase for her would also be held in the same city.

But since the group had a lot of time before anything would happen in Coumarine City they all agreed to go and register themselves for a week at professor Sycamore's annual Pokémon summer camp. They all wanted the experience to meet new people, try new things, and learn even more about Pokémon.

So to get there they decided to take a short cut.

"How much longer until we get to the camp?" Bonnie asked.

"We still have a ways to go" Clemont said. "But if we take the shortcut through Reflection Cave we will make great time."

"Hey Clemont, why is it even called Reflection Cave?" Ash asked.

"Well, inside the caves there are these glass like structures that runes along the side of the cave. It is so clear that it can actually act like a mirror and you can see your reflection. So hence the name reflection cave."

"That's pretty amazing" Ash said. "I can't wait to see it."

"There is something else about the cave that I should mention. But ................ I can't remember exactly what it is" Clemont said. "Oh well, I'm sure that I will remember what it is sooner or later."

The group continued down the path for about 20 minutes until they reached what they believe is the mouth of the cave.

"Here we are" Clemont said. "Once we get through the end of the cave we should be very close to where professor Sycamore's summer camp will be."

"It's not......... dark, is it?" Serena asked.

"Don't worry, it is pretty well lit. I don't think you will have to worry about that" Clemont said.

"Why, you need Ash you hold your hand again" Bonnie smirked.

"Wh-what!?!?" Serena exclaimed blushing. "No I..... I mean I........"

"I think you will be fine Serena" Ash said. "But if you want you can stay close to me if that will make you feel any better."

"Ohhh.... Uh.... Ok" she said with her face still red.

*sigh* "Oh Serena........ if only you could just tell him" Bonnie thought.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The group where now walking through cave and they were only half way through. They have been walking for 10 minutes and the group has already seen many crystal like mirrors along the wall of the cave. Even Bonnie stopped a couple of times just to look at herself because she thinks she looks soooooooooooo cute.

"How about this one? Don't you think I look even cuter in this mirror?" Bonnie said standing in front of another mirror.

"I told you already, you look exactly the same the last time you asked" Clemont said.

"Yeah but........... I think I look cuter in this mirror" she said giving a cheeky grin. "What do you think Serena?"

Serena though Bonnie was a bit annoying that she kelp asking but..... decided just to go along with it just for fun. "Oh yes Bonnie, you look sooooooooooooo much cuter in this one" she said sarcastically.

"See........." Bonnie said to Clemont. Clemont just sighed as he didn't say anything and continued walking.

"Why must my sister be so much of a hand full?" he thought

The group continued walking through the cave until Bonnie saw another crystal mirror that looked a bit different from the other ones. Bonnie thought of another way to mess with Serena and this was the perfect time to do it.

"Hey Serena stand in front of this one" Bonnie said. Serena didn't really think much of it and frankly didn't want to ask Bonnie what she's up to. Serena stood in from the mirror and took a good look at herself.

"What do you think Serena? Don't you think you look pretty in this one" Bonnie asked.

"Uh.... I guess I do" Serena said.

"I think so too. HEY ASH..... Don't you think Serena looks pretty in this one?" Bonnie said.

Serena's face suddenly turned red. "HUH??? BONNIE!!!!!!!!"

Ash just looked at Serena then her flection and then back at Serena.

"You know what, I think you do look good in this one" Ash said. Serena blushed even more, if that is even possible, then before.

"Oh uh.... Thanks" she said softly.

"Only trying to help" Bonnie thought. They continued walking again but then there was a sudden flash in one of the mirrors that Pikachu noticed.

"Pika?" Pikachu said as he alerted his trainer.

"What's up Pikachu?" Ash asked. Pikachu pointed toward one of the mirrors he saw the flash and everyone else turned their heads and looked at it. "I don't see anything, do you Clemont?"

"Nothing?" Clemont said. "It just must be your imagination."

Pikachu was so certain that he saw something so he continued looking from Ash's shoulder. A minute later Pikachu saw the flash from the mirror again but like last time no one else noticed. Instead of trying to point it out to the group Pikachu jumped off of Ash's shoulder and ran towards the flash.

"Huh..... Pikachu? Where are you going." Ash said. Pikachu didn't answer instead continued running down the cave where he saw the flash. "Hey wait up."

Ash started chasing Pikachu down the cave leaving Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie behind.

"ASH....." Serena yelled. "Wait for us." The three of them started to run after Ash.

Pikachu was still running straight towards where he saw the flash while Ash was close behind him. Both Ash and Pikachu where running so fast that the rest of the group lost sight of them.

Ash was right behind Pikachu when the electric mouse Pokémon finally stopped as he was staring at a different looking mirror compared to the other ones.

"There you are Pikachu. Why did you run off like that?" Ash asked. Pikachu still didn't say anything, instead he continued staring at the mirror until he finally saw what he was certain he saw the first time.

The flash.

"Pika Pikachu" he said staring at the mirror as it started to glow.

"Huh?...... Pikachu what is that?" Ash said. The mirror continued to glow until it looked as though something in the mirror was forming. Ash was now staring at the mirror Pikachu was staring at until what was forming in the mirror was done forming. Ash took a good like at what formed in the mirror and saw his own reflection. However his reflection did something Ash didn't even do.

It spoke.

"There you are Pikachu" the reflection said as he reached out his hands and actually went through the glass and was sticking out towards Pikachu.

"What the......." Ash said. The hands finally reached Pikachu as the reflection grabbed Pikachu with both of his hands and retreaded back into the mirror. "Hey...... that's my Pikachu." He yelled.

Pikachu was still shocked on what was happening and was confused at the same time so he didn't know how to react. Ash on the other hand wasted no time to react as he reached out to try to grab ahold of Pikachu again and pull him back. However, Ash had little luck as he couldn't keep his balance and ended up falling forwards.

Ash continued falling until he actually fell through the glass along with Pikachu and whatever that reflection thing was that took Pikachu. When he finally fell through, the light from the mirror started to dim until it stopped glowing and just became a normal mirror like the rest in the cave.

Just after that happened Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie just came to the room where Ash and Pikachu just was as they stopped in confusion and looked around.

"Where did they go?" Bonnie asked. "I thought I heard their voices here."

"They couldn't have gotten far, let's try that way" Clemont said. The three of them went down one path trying to find out where Ash has gotten to.

"Ash... where are you?" Serena thought worriedly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Who are you and why..........." Ash started until he almost fell over on the sight of someone that looked exactly. "You...... you look just like me."

"What......" the look alike said. "I don't look like you, you exactly like me. And what where you doing with my Pikachu?"

"YOUR PIKACHU?!?!" Ash exclaimed. "Just who do you think you are?"

"Me?" the look alike said. "I'm Ash Ketchum, the trainer of that Pikachu. So who do you think you are trying to take my Pokémon?"

Ash was just shocked on what the boy just said. Did he just say he was Ash Ketchum? There is no way he is the one and only Ash Ketchum in the world.

"Your Ash Ketchum?" Ash said. "That impossible, I'm the only Ash Ketchum in this world. Now tell me who you really are or I..............."

"ASH........" Someone yelled. "Where the heck are you now?"

The two Ashs and Pikachu turned their heads to where they heard the voice and both realized that the voice belonged to Serena.

Before the real Ash could react the mirror Ash quickly grabbed Pikachu and started running towards the voice. "I'm coming Serena."

"Hey..... Get back here with my Pikachu!" Ash yelled as he ran after him. After a minute of running the mirror Ash finally made it out of the cave with Pikachu in his hands and the real Ash right behind them.

Outside of the cave the rest of the group was waiting for Ash since they were looking for him hours.

"There you are you cry baby, have you find your Pikachu yet" The mirror Serena yelled. "Do you know how long we been............" she stopped mid-sentence as she noticed there another person behind Ash that looked exactly like him. "What the....... Who the heck are you and why do you look just like Ash."

"Huh....." Ash said in confusion. "Serena, it's me.... Ash. And what is with the attitude? That is really unlike you."

"How....... How do you know my name?...... Never mind that but let me make one thing clear" the mirror Serena said. "The only Ash I know is that little cry baby in front of you. I never met anyone else that looked just like him so tell me who you really are and why do you look just like the Ash I know."

"Brother dear..... does Ash have a twin that he didn't tell us about?" Mirror Bonnie asked.

"That could be a possibility." Mirror Clemont said.

Ash just stood there dumbfounded from what Serena just said. Since when was she ever this rude or called anyone a cry baby.

"I...... uh....... Honestly. I don't know what to tell you" Ash said. The mirror Serena just gave a frustrated looked and turned her head towards the Ash she knows.

"Ash you better not be trying to pull some kind of prank on me so you better tell me right who the heck is this guy."

"I........." Mirror Ash stammered still a bit scared of Serena's tone. "I really don't know who this guy is, all I know is that he stole my Pikachu and was claiming that he was me. I don't know what's going on?"

"What!!!" Ash exclaimed. "I did not steal anyone's Pokémon. If anything, you're the one who took Pikachu right off of my shoulders."

"I was just taking back what is mine you thief" Mirror Ash exclaimed.

"He is not your Pikachu!!!" Ash yelled.

"Enough!!!!!!" Clemont yelled. "Both of you claim that that particular Pikachu is your Pokémon so.......... Let him decide who he belongs to."

"Oh what a great idea Clemont" Mirror Bonnie said. "You always come up with the best idea."

"Whatever, let's just move on from this already" Mirror Serena murmured. Both Ashs nodded as mirror Ash placed Pikachu down as he and the regular Ash walked about 10 paces away from Pikachu and started calling out to him.

"Well........" Mirror Ash said. "Come on and come over here already." Pikachu was a little hesitant when that Ash said that. That is not really the way the Ash he knows acts.

"Come on buddy, you know between us who is the Ash you know" Ash said.

Pikachu smiled when he said that, at that point he knew who the real Ash. First reason being that he called him buddy and second reason being that Pikachu noticed a slight difference between the two. The Ash he knew was a little darker in tone then the other Ash and that was the Ash he always knew. Pikachu ran towards Ash and up onto his left shoulder.

"There you go buddy, I knew you would recognize me" Ash said.

"What?....." mirror Ash said. "Pikachu..... How could you?......."

"Ash, I don't think that is your Pikachu" mirror Clemont said. "Whoever this look alike is, that Pikachu must really belong to him."

"So..... that really is his Pikachu" mirror Ash said. *sigh* "I guess that me Pikachu is still missing."

"Ohhh.......... What a shame" mirror Bonnie said.

"Ok now that that is out of the way....." mirror Serena said. "I want to know right now WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!?!?!"

"Like I said I really don't know" Ash said. "All I did was look at a mirror in that cave, then what I thought was my reflection reach out towards Pikachu, and I think I actually fell through the mirror and well......... here I am."

"Wait..... Did you say you fell through a mirror in that cave?" mirror Clemont asked.

"Yeah?.......... Why?" Ash asked.

"I think I know what is happening here" mirror Clemont said. "You see, there is a legend about the cave that both of you were in. According to legend, the mirrors inside that cave is said to be a gateway like portal to different alternate dimension."

"Alternate dimensions?" Ash said.

"Yes, so my guess is the 'reflection' you saw was the Ash I know and he was the one that pulled you and your Pikachu through the mirror and into our dimension" He explained.

"Your dimension?" Ash said. "So......... does that mean........ I'm in a different dimension."

"In a way" mirror Clemont said. "This universe is probably the same as your dimension but with only a couple of notable differences."

"I........ uhh......"Ash started. In truth, he is too shocked to say anything. He then took a good look around himself and did noticed there were somethings different than what he was used to. "Now that you mention it, you guys do seem different than the Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie I know."

"Us different?!?!" mirror Serena explained. "Let's get one thing straight here, I am the only me around here and anyone who say is me is not me, GOT IT.................. Wait......................... WHAT DID I JUST SAY!!!"

Ash just stood there and sweatdropped. "Yep..... She is definitely different than the Serena I know."

"Remember Serena, he is from a different dimension." Mirror Clemont said. "So if there a counterpart of the Ash we know then there must be a dimensional counter part of us as well."

"Ohhhh......... that is sooooooooo cool" mirror Bonnie said. "Hey..... different dimension Ash. What is my counterpart like? Is she just as pretty and sweet as me?"

"Uh...... I guess" Ash said. "Although you do seem a little more........... Formal than the Bonnie I know."

"Really........... Wow........... That is soooooooooo interesting."

"Ok so blah blah blah, so you're in a dimension now, moving on!!!" mirror Serena interrupted. "So if you are a trainer, mind having a battle with me."

"You want to battle me? What for?" Ash asked.

"Well, the only person I really battle with is the Ash I know but.......... He's not the best at Pokémon battles. You however, if you are different than the Ash I know than you must have some skills as a trainer. So what do you say? I been looking for a challenge."

"You want a challenge huh......" Ash said. He then turned his head and gave a confident look. "If it's a battle you want, it's a battle you will get."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The group was now at a different location from where they were just were, put still close to the cave. Mirror Serena stood on one side of an open plain while Ash was on the other side. Mirror Clemont, Bonnie, and Ash stood by the side to watch.

"Ohhhh........ This is so exciting" mirror Bonnie said. "I never seen Serena so excited to battle someone before. You might want to watch carefully Ash, you might learn something."

"I hope so........" mirror Ash said. "How is he so confident?"

"Ok Fennekin, it's time to battle" mirror Serena said as she threw Fennekin's Pokéball. Fennekin appeared outside of her Pokéball standing in a battle position.

"Fennekin huh..... well in that case" Ash said as he reached for one is his Pokéballs. "Froakie I choose you." Froakie emerged from his Pokéball as he quickly assisted the situation and got ready to battle.

"A Froakie? Why would you put yourself in a disadvantage like that?" mirror Serena said.

"Disadvantage? What are you talking about?" Ash asked.

"Didn't you knows that water types are weak against fire types" she said. Ash just stood there sweatdropping.

"Uh....... Not from where I'm from" He said. *sigh* "Man this different dimension stuff is so confusing."

*Sigh* "Whatever let's just battle, Fennekin use Flamethrower." Fennekin charged up the flames in her mouth and then shot it straight towards Froakie.

"Dodge and use Water Pules" Ash said. Froakie jumped up and over the flamethrower and then formed a ball of water in his hands. He threw the water ball at Fennekin as it caused an explosion.

"Phew....... Come on Ash. I told you water type moves are not strong against my Fennekin" mirror Serena said. However, then the dust cleared it revealed that Fennekin was down and looked very hurt from the attack. "Huh.... What the......... how did that do a lot of damage?"

"Uhh....... I guess since Froakie is not from this dimension your rules don't apply to him" Ash said.

*Grrrrrrr* "Lucky break I guess. Ok Fennekin use Hidden Power" Fennekin charged up three different energy balls from her mouth and shot them straight towards Froakie.

"Dodge with Double Team" Ash said. Froakie then made multiple copies if himself as they started to surround Fennekin. The hidden power collided with one of the copies leaving the real Froakie still hidden among the copies.

"Flamethrower on all of them" mirror Serena said. Fennekin shot out a jet stream of fire from her mouth and one by one the copies where vanishing.

"Froakie use Cut" Ash said. Froakie got out of the framethrower and started to cut towards Fennekin with cut.

"Intercepted with Scratch" mirror Serena said. Fennekin rushed towards Froakie with her claws out. Fennekin and Froakie collided mid-air with Scratch and Cut connecting. Both Pokémon where pushing with all of their might, however Froake had just enough strength to overpower Fennekin and pushed Fennekin back and down to the ground.

"Fennekin!" mirror Serena yelled.

"Finish it with Water Pulse" Ash said. Froakie charged up another water ball in his hands and threw it at Fennekin and created a huge explosion. When the dust cleared it revealed Fennekin lying on his back with swirly eyes.

"Looks like Froakie won" mirror Clemont said. Serena returned her Fennekin and walked up to Ash as Ash did the same to Froakie.

"The Ash I know would never have beaten me with his Froakie, I never seen any water type beat my Fennekin before" mirror Serena said.

"Well...... from where I am from water types are actually strong against fire types. I guess it would be opposite here." Ash said.

Mirror Ash was amazed on how Ash battle and how he was confident and calm during the battle. If it is one thing he knows that he lacks it would be confidents. Ash noticed that he had a different look on his face as mirror Ash looked down and ashamed as his skills as a trainer. He walked over to him and asked...

"Something bothering you?"

"I.... uhh...." He said. "It's just the way I saw you battle, you had so much confidence and skill during the battle and won with a Pokémon that would have normally lost under normal circumstances. How do you do it?"

"With a lot of training I guess."

"Not that... How are you so confident when you battle? That is something I never seem to find when I battle."

Ash thought for a moment to find an answer to that.

"Simple, he naturally have confidence since he is the opposite of you while you are always complaining and crying when you lose a battle. No wonder Pikachu ran away from you" mirror Serena said.

"SERENA!!! That was an unnecessary thing to say" Clemont said.

"No......." mirror Ash said. "She's right, Pikachu probably have finally gave up on me being his trainer and left me. I don't deserve to be his trainer."

"What!?!? Don't be ridiculous" Ash exclaimed. "If you had Pikachu as long as I had mine than there is no way Pikachu could have just given up on you."

"How.... How do you know that?" he asked.

"Our Pikachus may be opposite from each other but they must also have some similarities was well. And it there is one thing my Pikachu has that your Pikachu must have is loyalty" Ash said. "Trust me, Pikachu couldn't have just run away from you, he must of had a very good reason."

"You..... You really think so?"

"I know so, isn't that right Pikachu?" Ash said turning to Pikachu.

"Pika Pikachu" he said nodding. Mirror Ash started to smile a bit from Ash's words.

"Thanks Ash, I needed to hear that" he said.

"Awwww......... An Ash to Ash heart conversation. I never thought I would see anything like this" mirror Bonnie said. She was then nudged hard in the side by mirror Serena. "Oww..."

"Don't ruin the moment" mirror Serena said.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After their conversation had ended Ash volunteered to help the group look for mirror Ash's Pikachu so they spited up into groups. Both Ashs decided to look together in one area while mirror Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie looked in another area. Both Ashs where walking towards an open field neither of them saying anything to each other. After 10 minutes of walking mirror Ash decided to break the silence.

"So.......... Can I ask you something?" mirror Ash asked. "It is kind of personal so I hope you don't mind."

"I don't mind. I am another version of you after all" Ash said chuckling a bit. "What do you want to know?"

"I........ uh...... well...... was..... uhhh......" mirror Ash stammered.

"Slow down Ash, take your time and calm down" Ash said. Mirror Ash then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He then opened his eyes as he calmed down.

"Sorry, I just feel a bit award asking you this" mirror Ash said. "I was just wondering.... How is your relationship with your Serena?"

Ash was caught off guard by the question. That is a very odd thing to ask.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well.... Since you are more confident than me I was just wondering how things are between you two." He said.

"Uh..... Things are fine..... I guess...." Ash said. "But what does me having confidence have to do with it?"

"I mean, I figured you have told her by now how you feel about her" mirror Ash said.

"How I feel about her?...... What are you talking about?" Ash asked. Mirror Ash just looked at him shocked that he had no idea what he was taking about. He then realized that he didn't understand what he means about the question and ignored it.

"Oh... never mind" he said. "I was just asking because....... Uh...... Before I tell you, can you keep a secret?"

"Yes I can" Ash asked. "What is it?"

"Well..... I...... uh....... Sort or........ Like Serena" mirror Ash said. Ash stood there kind of shocked on what he just said, but didn't so much emotion but instead an intrigued look.

"You .... You do?" Ash said.

"Yeah......." He said weakly. "I have liked her for some time know but I never got the courage to tell her how I feel."

"Really..."Ash said. "Tell me. What about her do you like?"

"Well...... I guess because she is always confident like you, she is independent, strong, pretty, and even though she can be mean sometimes I find that attractive."

"Huh, I see" Ash said. "Well.... I don't know a lot about relationships, but I have a feeling that if you could tell her what you said to me about her you would be more confident around her and would make things easier for you to tell her.

"Do you really think that would work?" mirror Ash said.

"I can't really say, like I said I don't know a lot about relationships" Ash said. "But do that and something good is bound to happen."

Mirror Ash though for a moment on what Ash had said, he then gave a smile as he now had a confident look. "Thanks Ash, I need some encouragement." He said. He then chuckled for a bit upon realizing something.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing... just that fact that I am getting great advice from someone that happens to be another version of me" mirror Ash said. "Man..... My life is so weird."

The two laughed for a bit and continued walking in search for mirror Ash's Pikachu. They been walking for another 15 minutes until they heard something in the bushes.

"Did you hear that?" Ash asked.

"Yeah, that got to be Pikachu" mirror Ash said. They both tip toed towards the bushes and kneeled down so they won't be seen. They both peeked through the bush and found what they have been looking for. "Pikachu, there you are."

The mirror Ash's Pikachu was sitting on his butt licking what appeared to be a packed of ketchup. Mirror Ash came out of the bushes to picked up Pikachu and hug him at the same time.

"Pika pika pi pika" mirror Pikachu said. Saying it was about he found him and that he been here for hours waiting for him.

"I'm glad I found you, I should have known that you were just looking for more ketchup packets."

"Ketchup packets?" Ash asked. "What are you talking about?"

"Well.... My Pikachu really likes ketchup. So whenever he gets a scent of ketchup while we are in the forest he goes out and looks for them. I must have forgotten that he probably was just look for ketchup" Mirror Ash said.

"Wait a minute" Ash said sounding very confused. "Do you mean to tell me that your Pikachu ran on his own into the wood just because he spotted the scent of ketchup and went to get some? And also, what are a bunch of ketchup packets just lying in the middle of the forest anyways?"

"What.... Don't you have ketchup packets just lying around in your forest?" mirror Ash said.

"NO...... none at all" Ash said. Mirror Ash just tilted his head as he gave a somewhat surprised look.

"You don't....... huh...... no offence but your dimension sounds very strange"

Ash just stood there sweatdropping from what mirror Ash just said. Since when finding ketchup packets in a forest normal. "My dimension strange?" he thought. "I just can't wait to go home."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ash and his Pikachu where now back at the cave they entered the dimension from standing in front of the same mirror they entered from. Mirror Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie were also there so they can see him off.

"Well... I guess this it" Ash said. "It was very....... Interesting to meet you."

"Same for us you" mirror Clemont said. "Take care of yourself."

"I will" Ash said. "Also Ash, remember what I told you. Have more confidence."

"I will, and thank you again for helping me find Pikachu." Mirror Ash said.

"No problem, anyways I got to go. Have fun on your guys' journey."

"You too Ash and keep battling the way you battle" mirror Serena said.

"Goodbye Ash, and say hello to your Bonnie for me" mirror Bonnie said.

"Will do." And this that Ash and Pikachu turned to face the mirror as Ash reached one hand towards the mirror. First his hand went through the mirror, then his arm, and finally his entire body. Soon enough Ash had finally gonethrough the mirror leaving the other mirror counterparts standing there in awe.

"He was a very interesting person" mirror Clemont said.

"Yeah....... Hey Clemont, did you know that you can't find ketchup packets in any forest in his dimension" mirror Ash said.

"You can't........... Man.......... His dimension is strange" he said.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"ASH.........ASH........ WHERE ARE YOU!!!!" Serena yelled as she was looking for him inside the cave with Clemont and Bonnie close behind. They have been looking for Ash for 7 hours now and still couldn't find any sign of him. "Ash......... Where can you be."

"Serena maybe we should move on without him" Clemont said. "Knowing Ash, he would want us to go on ahead so he will catch up eventually and......................."

"WE ARE NOT LEAVING WITH OUT HIM" Serena yelled. "We can't just leave him after he just somehow disappeared. We have to.........."

"GUYS.............." Someone yelled. "Over here."

Serena and the others turned their head quickly to where they heard the sound of the voice. They then saw someone running towards them as they quickly identify who the person was.

"ASH!!!" Serena yelled as she ran full sprint towards him

"Hey guys, sorry for disappearing like that I was just........." he was quickly interrupted Serena who just about tackled Ash with a big hug but not hard enough to make him fall over. "Woe....... Serena."

"There you are, do you know how long we have been looking for you?" Serena said. "I been worried sick, please don't ever disappear like that again."

Ash felt...... toughed. By what Serena said. Was she really that worried for him? Sure he just despaired into another dimension without his friends knowing, but still........

"I'm sorry Serena, something just........ happened when I was following Pikachu" Ash said returning the hug.

"What exactly happened to you Ash?" Clemont asked. "We couldn't find any trace of you."

"Well I........." Ash started before he stopped himself. "You know what, that is a story for another time. For now let's just get back on track to the camp and I promise I will tell you everything later."

"Sounds like a plan" Bonnie said. The four of them where have now made it to the other side of the cave and was closer to getting to the summer camp. As they were walking Ash began to think of what the mirror Ash had said to him back in the other dimension.

"So if other dimension Ash has a crush on his Serena, could it be possible that Serena has a crush on..........." Ash then turned to Serena with a wondering look. "Nah........ I am probably just over thinking it" he thought.

So there you have it, I hope that was an entertaining chapter for you guys. And before I end it I need to explain some things.

Yes I know that reflection cave is before Shalour City but in my story it is after. Or they could be back tracking I don't know. Point is it does not matter.

Also for the personalities of the mirror characters it is this. Serena is rude, Bonnie is formal, Ash is timid, and Clemont is ........ well ..... I didn't get that far but that is not important. Also mirror Ash may be timid but he is not oblivious like regular Ash so that is why he was asking Ash the questions.

Lastly, the ketchup packets in the forest is a reference to Pikachu's love for ketchup and I thought it would be fun to add that. Yes I know you can't just find packets of ketchup in the woods but it is a different dimension we are talking about and I thought it would be funny to add that.

Also I will be busy with school for a while so I won't be able to write this story much but I am not going to stop trying. Just don't expect me to update any time soon.

So until then then like, comment, question, and so on.
