32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 82 Agate Circus Gym Battle 2

Ash, Serena, and Lillie are now outside of Fiore Mansion, and they find Titania holding her hand at the rock with a frown.

Titania: I'm so fucking tired of this. You know, it's one thing that she found out about my facade and tried to off herself. But I was actually glad to have that shackle lifted off of me. And now, everything that we just went through has been completely voided by her losing her memory. And I'm stuck again.

Ash: Then what are you going to do about it?

Titania: (Slams her fists into the rocks again) I can't keep living this lie, but I'm not about to let her kill herself twice. I'll figure something out. In the meantime, I'm leaving. (Takes out the 1 Sapphire Bracelet) I'm taking the Bracelet as far away from here as I can. If Meteor wants them, they'll have to come and get them. And believe me, they'll regret it if they try.

Then she sends out Skarmory and leaves them alone.

Serena: So what are you going to do now?

Ash: I guess what we can do right now is to continue what I haven't finished...by the way, do you want to go to the circus?

Lillie: That sounds fun, maybe it will enlighten the mood.

After getting to Agate Circus, Serena and Lillie are in awe at the stands and the other things, and Ash decides to bring them into the Big Top Arena.

Lillie: So this is the famous Big Top Arena...

Ash: Yeah, let's get in here.

When they get to the staff room, they find Samson there.

Samson: Oh, Ash. Hey. Who are the ladies?

Ash: My friends, they are Serena and Lillie. This is Samson, the circus strongman, and the Fighting Gym Leader.

Serena and Lillie are surprised since the man looks bulky and strong.

Samson: Wish I had news for you, but I don't. (Opens the computer) No matter how many times we check, we still can't find Terra.

Ciel: (Walks into the room) Oh, greetings, Ash!

Serena and Lillie also notice the girl, and her outfit is really dazzling.

Ciel: I trust you were able to take care of your friends? That would be more than we could say.

Ash: Yeah. But things happened. By the way, about Terra...

Samson: Not so sure we can call Terra a friend at this point.

Ciel: The point was less the "friend", and more the looming threat that you may have deleted her outright. And then what! We'd have to resign ourselves to being the Agate Ace Doublet! That's not nearly as attractive-sounding!

Samson: Hey, if you don't like the sound of that, we could always be the Agate Ace Couple.

Ciel: Please, that didn't work out for you before. What makes you think it'll work now?

Samson: My rugged good looks and dazzling charm.

Ciel: (Rolls her eyes) Right. Tell you what, figure out how to un-delete Terra, and then we'll talk.

Samson: That's a steep price. I've finally been able to get decent sleep since she's been gone.

Ciel: Oh, you were that busy with her? And you have the audacity to ask me out right after she vanishes... Tsk, tsk.
