Third person's POV

Ash dragged the honey-blonde girl to his room and forced her to sit down on the sofa...

"Serena..." The Aura Guardian began. "I think you know what I wanna talk about?"

Serena was only quietly staring upwards at Ash, who was standing above her.

"Don't look at me like I'm stupid! You really think I'm that dumb?" Ash raised his voice a bit.

"I revealed my biggest secret to you! So now... I'll ask you a question and I wanna hear a truth from you! I don't want to do this, but if you lie to me, I'd be forced to use this!" The Aura Guardian angrily yelled and activated his Aura.

"And trust me when I say that I can get into your head and see your every little secret the embarrassing way! And not only secret, but every bit of your knowledge, your every dream, ambition, and even your memories you have!" Ash created blue fires in both of his hands.

"O-Okay, okay... what do you want to know?" Visibly scared Serena said, trying to put some distance between her and the angry Aura Guardian.

"Do you work for Team Rocket?" Ash asked right away.

"Huh...?!" Serena's eyes widened when she heard Ash's question. "W-What are you talking about...?"

"DON'T PLAY DUMB AND ANSWER!" Ash yelled and clenched his fist. "Did you really think that I wouldn't investigate the shady orphanage you come from?! I know how much 1+1 is, Serena! I know that back in the park when you screamed for my help, you only pretended to be attacked to confirm whether I'm still in Kalos or not!" Ash said and Serena gulped and closed her eyes.

"I know that you got kidnapped by your colleagues as an act... You put up an act only to lure me away so your other colleagues can kill Gary! You have Gary's blood on your hands and don't say you don't!" Ash was absolutely furious.

That was too much for the young girl who started crying...

"I-I didn't know t-they wanted... they wanted to k-kill him... okay?" Serena, who was sobbing hardly reacted to the accusation of killing Gary.

"I t-thought they'd k-knock him out or... or kidnap h-him! I d-didn't know they'd k-kill h-him..." Serena was trying to wipe out her tears, but they just kept flowing.

After a while she gave up on trying to stop crying and started weeping even more... She even slid down from the sofa to the floor.

"Ash... A-Ash... help m-me... You have t-to help me... p-please!" Crying Serena suddenly said.

The Aura Guardian panicked a bit, not knowing why the girl suddenly started pleading for help.

"What's wrong...?" He asked, and crouched down so doesn't stand above Serena, trying to stop intimidating her.

The honey-blond girl suddenly hugged Ash, and started speaking...

"It's true... You're right... I was trained by Team Rocket and... and forced to join their ranks... but I haven't told them anything about you or the others! I swear! They acted mainly based on the info they already knew! They have a vague idea about all the guardians, but I haven't told them anything! Ever since I saw you, I mean the Aura Guardian, during the Prism Tower incident, I'm trying to quit Team Rocket! But boss keeps rejecting my resignation, saying that I know too much!" Serena said with her head buried in Ash's shoulder.

Ash then remembered something...

"Serena... what's your code name in Team Rocket?" Ash wondered, remembering one of the memories he saw in Misty's mind.
