The beginning of a new road {Path of the Aura Ranger: Book II}

III Serena's P.O.V

"Reflection Cave, nope! We are not going in there!" Ash said, eyes flashing blue and rapidly turning around to drag us away.

"Wait! What's going on?" I exclaimed very confused.

"Fen-fen!" Fennekin exclaimed, running after me as I was being pulled away by the arm by Ash.

"Viv-vivillon!" My Vivillon also fretted, fluttering around me.

Oh, yes! My Spewpa evolved! Bug-type pokemon matured quickly, just like Max had said. Her wings were of a stunning Meadow Pattern! Just like the one I've fallen in love with. It all happened when I took over the training of my pokemon, they were still being mentored by Charizard and Butterfree from time to time, but I am now pulling my weight as trainer. Which worked out! As I now have a Vivillon! Her wings were a masterpiece of nature's artistry! As I gaze upon my Vivillon's wings, a sense of wonder washes over me. I am reminded of the vastness and diversity of the natural world, and how Pokémon like Vivillon reflect that beauty in their very essence. I know it might be silly, but her wings inspire me to seek beauty in every aspect of life, to appreciate the fleeting moments of joy and to embrace the wonder that lies within the natural world.

"I do not know," Gary replied, from where he was dragging Clemont. Right behind him, Riley had Bonnie and Max, one in each arm, lifting them up and getting them away from the cave. His eyes were also blue. "But if two Aura Guardians are telling you to turn around, you better do it."

"Shouldn't we help or deal with whatever is in there?" Max protested.

"He is right! We have The Saint with us!" Bonnie pouted, looking more adorable than usual.

As ridiculous as the situation was, I still giggled when Max blushed, stealing glances at Bonnie.

"Ash would never risk any of you, he will send a team to deal with it later," Riley assured them. "Now, stay still, we have a Pokemon Summer Camp to attend!"

That's right, Professor Sycamore invited us all to the seaside Pokemon Summer Camp of his, it will be a week-long event and Max was excited because the Porfessor might have a clue as to where find the Key Stone he needs to Mega Evolve Gallade. Bonnie, Max, Clemont, and I were joining part of the event. Ash, Gary, and Riley were going to give some lessons and oversee that everything goes well. We were greeted by the camp's custodian, Madame Catherine, Professor Sycamore, and his assistant Sophie.

"I am so glad you've all made it!" Professor Sycamore beamed, eyes widening even more, if that was even possible, when he saw he Mega Stone Gallade was carrying. "Is that a galladite?"

"Yes! We got it from Mega Island!" Max told him proud of their achievement. "He used his psychic powers to sense its location!"

"It did? That's incredible!" Professor Sycamore got even more excited.

"Professor!" Sophie choughed.

"I'm sorry," Professor Sycamore laughed sheepishly. "Bonnie, Max, Clemont, and Serene you will be assigned to the Froakie cabin, therefore you will be Team Froakie. Ash, Riley, and Gary, you will be staying with us and the rest of the supervisors. Max, we will talk more about it later!"

"Yes!" Max agreed readily, eyes sparkling with excitement.

Tha cabin luckily was nice and we all rapidly picked our beds. It kind of reminded me of the summer I met Ash... and Gary. I really need to stop thinking about back then. I know nothing will ever happen out of my crush. Not that we stayed in the cabin for long. The moment Max noticed a Squirtle and Conkeldurr battling outside, he rushed out to watch them fight. I was quite impressed at Squirtle's mobility. The Squirtle's Trainer then showed off his "dance" methods of battling, much to the dismay of his opponent. Squirtle used his dance techniques to quickly dodge Conkeldurr's attacks, and soon defeated Conkeldurr with Skull Bash.
