"Hey are you guys done talking?" Gary asked.

"Yes we just ended our conversation and we are ready to go" Misty replied.

"Thank God" Ash mumbled under his breath.

"You saying something Ash?" Anabel asked.

"Nope" Ash answered.

"Okay so you guys just wait here we go and grab our stuff" Serena said.

"Alright but come quickly because we don't have much time" Ash replied.

"Yeah we will be back before you know it" May said.

And then they head upstairs to grab their stuff and came back after 15 minutes.

"We will be back before you know it huh?" Paul says clearly annoyed.

"We came back in just 5 minutes" May replied.

"IN 5 MINUTES ARE YOU KIDDING YOURSELF YOU GUYS TOOK 35 MINUTES TO GRAB YOUR STUFF AND COME BACK DOWNSTAIRS" Trio of boys yelled in unison.

Girls checks their watch and realized that boys were right they really took 35 minutes to just grab their stuff.

"S-sorry" All of the girls apologized.

"It's okay but please don't do it again" Ash said.

"Okay" All of the girls said in unison.

"So who will go with whom?" Dawn asks.

"Paul with Dawn, Misty with Gary, Anabel and May and finally Me and Serena" Ash explains.

"Is it okay with everyone?" Ash asks.

"Y-yeah" Everyone except for Ash said.

"So what are we waiting for let's go" Paul said and everyone head outside.

"Ash please slow down" Serena yelled.

"Okay if you said so Charizard please slow down" Ash said.

"T-thanks that's a lot better" Serena exclaimed.

"Serena look down" Ash said.

"Why?" Serena Asked.

"Just do it" Ash replied.

"Okay" Serena said and looked down only to be amazed by the beauty she was witnessing.

"Like it?" Ash asked.

"Like it i loved it" Serena said in amazement.

"Glad you like it" Ash said.

"Thanks Ash" Serena said.

"No problem Sere" Ash replied.

"Liking your ride Dawn?" Paul asked.

"I am loving it thanks Paul" Dawn replied.

"It's a pleasure Dee-Dee" Paul said.

"Don't call me that" Dawn said and pouts.

"Why not? Dee-Dee" Paul said.

"Because i don't like it" Dawn exclaimed.

"You don't like to be called Dee-Dee?" Paul asked.

"Yes i don't like to be called Dee-Dee" Dawn answered.

"Then i guess i should stop calling you Dee-Dee" Paul said.

"Yeah you better should stop calling me that" Dawn replied.

"Well then from now on i would never call you Dee-Dee" Paul said.

"Good" Dawn replied.

"I love it you sure do take care of your Pokemons" Misty replied.

"Yeah they are my life so i gave them extra attention" Gary exclaimed.

"I didn't knew that you love your Pokemons so much" Misty said.

"You don't know me do you?" Gary replied.

"I thought that i know you but i guess i was wrong but that only makes me more curious to find out who you really are" Misty exclaimed.

"Good luck finding out that" Gary replied.

"Thank you" Misty said with a smile.

"You are welcome carrots" Gary said also with a smile.

"Don't call me carrots 'Oak-Tree' or you will be dead because i will hit you so hard with my mallet" Misty replied.

"I am sorry i will never call you carrots" Gary said.

"Good" Misty replied.

"May please take care of Starraptor" Anabel said.

"Yes i would thank you" May replied and leaved to meet Drew in Saffron City.

"Thank God she is gone" Anabel mumbles under his breath.

"Anabel" A voice called her from behind.

"Finally you decided to show up i was waiting for you" Anabel replied to the owner of the voice.

"I'm sorry i lost my way" A boy replied.

"It's alright but you know what you have to do right?" Anabel asks.

"Yes i know what i have to do" Boy replied.

"Good so tell me how you know Serena and Ash?" Anabel asks.

"Well you see i used to live in Pallet town too and Ash was my best friend but our whole family had to move and when we move i was 3 years old so i don't remember much and when we move to Vaniville Town in Kalos region i became friend with Serena but we again moved to Sinnoh 4 years ago" Boy answered.

"And why are you doing this?" Anabel asks.

"I have my reasons" he replied.

"Okay so let's go" Anabel said.

"Okay" he replied and they leave to meet with the gang in Celadon city.

"Is everyone here?" Ash asks.

"Nope Anabel hasn't arrived yet" Misty replied.

"If she doesn't came in 5 minutes we are going" Ash said.

"Alright" Everyone except for Ash said in unison.

After waiting for her Anabel arrived with his 'Friend'.

"Finally you decided to bless us with your presence" Gary said sarcastically.

"You must be honored" Anabel replied.

"Believe me i am" Gary replied back sarcastically.

"And who is your friend?" Ash asks.

"I'm sorry i totally forget to introduce him his name is C-" Anabel couldn't finish her sentence.

"Calem" Serena yelled and runs towards him and tackled him into a hug.

"Sere pie" Calem said. (How is this nickname? xD)

"How are you Calem? i haven't seen you in ages" Serena said.

"I am great as always 'Sere Pie' how you've been?" Calem asked.

"Never been more good" Serena replied.

"So will you introduce your friends?" Calem asked.

"Sure" Serena replied.

"This is Misty,May,Gary,Dawn,Paul and finally Ash" Serena points to everyone.

  "Hello everyone i am Calem nice to meet you all" Calem said.

"Nice to meet you too Calem" Everyone said in unison.

And then Calem walks towards Ash and says something in his ear.

"Remember me Ashly?" Calem asked.

"N-no" Ash replied.

"I am disappointed Ashly i expected better from you" Calem said.

"I-i am sorry i don't remember you tell me who you are" Ash said.

"Remember a boy you used to play with when you were 3 years old? Remember a boy who used to protect you when Gary hits you?" Calem asked.

"Yeah i remember a boy but he moved to Kalos" Ash replied.

"I am that boy" Calmed said.

"I am sorry for not remembering you" Ash apologized.

"It's alright it was 11 years ago" Calem replied.

"Can we go inside? i am starving" Gary said.

Everyone nods and head inside the Restaurant.

"Table for 8 please" Ash said to waiter.

"Right this way sir" Waiter said pointing towards the table.

After getting their table they took their places Ash was sitting with Serena, Misty with Gary, Paul with Dawn and Anabel with Calem.

"So Serena by the way you hug Calem it looks like both of you are really close" Dawn said.

"Yeah we are really close" Serena said.
