Narrator: Ash and serena finally confessed their feelings to each other, and decided to take a little break from traveling.

But they had no idea what was going to happen, and it was just the beginning of their new adventure.

PALLET TOWN,
KANTO REGION

3rd Person POV,

Ash was very confused as to what was going on. He had a million thoughts going through his mind, but he knew that something was off, because none of his old friends looked their usual self. They didn't even acknowledge his achievements in Kalos league, or neither congratulated him. He knew that something bad was going to happen. He was sure, because for some reason, he couldn't read their auras. They were blurred somehow, and that, alerted Pikachu. He was ready to attack if anybody tried to harm his best friend, his girlfriend and their friends.

Ash decided to introduce his kalosiasn friends to his old friends. He said,

" Guys, these are my new friends, clemont, the lumiose city gym leader and his little sister, Bonnie. And this is my lovely girlfriend, serena. "

He was smiling at her while he said that. His friends immediately nodded to each other.

Ash read Serena's aura and could see that she was concerned about him. He wondered why. He motioned her to come and stand beside him, which she did, in a protective way that didn't go unnoticed by the rest. They narrowed their eyes at her and frowned. Serena, meanwhile, was glaring daggers at them. The rest were also trying to protect each other's back, as if they knew they were gonna be attacked any second. Finally, after a long time, Misty had decided to speak. She looked at the group behind her, and asked,

" Anybody wants to lead?"

They shook their heads and she nodded back. She turned back to ash and said, bluntly.

" Ash, we believe that it's about time you stop trying to be a Pokemon master. "

Ash couldn't believe what he just heard. He was taken aback. He asked,

" What do you mean?" I'm afraid I don't understand you here. "

Misty looked like she was gonna have a seizure. Taking another deep breath, she said,

" We want you to give up on your dream to become a Pokemon master. "

Ash was shocked. So we're the rest of them, but serena, she looked as though she had expected something like this. She was looking murderous.

" How dare you? How dare you try to make him give up on his dream, you bitch?"

She yelled at Misty. She was looking quite enraged. Never, in their journey through kalos he had seen her this angry. She was shaking with rage. Ash used his aura and somehow managed to calm her down. He smiled at her, and she winked at him. This didn't go unnoticed by the traitors, and Misty once more, said

" Think about this ash. You have never won, not officially. Think about serena, ash. No girl wants to be with a loser. "

Serena, who had calmed down, was back in her rage mode. Her hand went for braixen's pokeball, but ash stopped her just in time. She looked at him, and immediately smirked, which was something she rarely did. The traitors saw it, and yelled in unison
