Hearts Rekindled: An Ash and Serena Tale

chapter 4 : Eternal Skies: A Tale of Legendary Courage

As time passed, both Ash and Serena began to notice something peculiar about the storm that had been raging outside. Suddenly, Nurse Joy rushed into the lab, her coat soaked from the rain, and to her surprise, she found Ash and Serena in the main area.

Nurse Joy: "Are you two both alright?"

Serena: "Yes, we're perfectly fine, thanks to the professor's lab. We're sorry for entering without permission."

Nurse Joy: "Oh, don't worry about that. I'm sure the professor wouldn't mind anyone seeking shelter here in such a storm."

Serena then requested Nurse Joy's assistance in looking after Sylveon, who had fallen ill. Ash and Serena had done their best to care for her, but her condition hadn't improved.Nurse Joy examined Sylveon and expressed concern, as she looked outside the window.Nurse Joy: "This is terrible. So the battle still isn't over."

Confused, Ash and Serena exchanged glances.

Ash: "What battle?"

Nurse Joy proceeded to explain, and as she powered up the lab's screens, they displayed the intense battle between Primal Kyogre and Zygarde.

Serena: "That's Zygarde!" 

Ash: "And that's Kyogre! No wonder this storm has been relentless. It's because of them.

"Nurse Joy: "That's right. The battle has been raging nonstop for two days."Ash decided that he should lend a hand to their old friend Zygarde in its battle against Kyogre.

Serena protested: "No, Ash, you can't! It's too dangerous. Besides, you don't have any Pokémon with you except Pikachu." Although Ash was frustrated, he accepted Serena's concern and sat beside her.

 Serena blushed, realizing they were in the presence of Nurse Joy. Serena whispered: "Ash! We're in front of Nurse Joy!"

Nurse Joy reassured them: "Don't worry. I'm sure Zygarde will manage."

On the TV, a reporter narrated the dire situation of Zygarde battling Kyogre. Suddenly, champions Diantha and Alain appeared on the scene, ready for action.

Alain: "Keystone, respond to my heart! Beyond Evolution, Mega Evolve!"

Diantha: "Mega Evolve!"

The champions' Charizard and Gardevoir underwent Mega Evolution, joining the battle against Kyogre.

Reporter: "Look at that! The champions are here to assist Zygarde."

Alain commanded Charizard to use Flamethrower, and Diantha directed Gardevoir to unleash Dark Pulse. They engaged Kyogre, attempting to wear it down. However, Kyogre retaliated with a powerful Mega Hydro Pump, knocking out both Charizard and Gardevoir. Alain and Diantha returned their Pokémon to their Poké Balls.

Alain: "I'm not out of options yet. Go, Metagross!" But Diantha stopped him, recognizing that their remaining Pokémon weren't suited for this legendary battle.

Diantha: "Don't worry. I have a special Pokémon in mind."

Alain: "You mean..."

Meanwhile, Ash was deeply focused on the live broadcast. Serena, concerned, tried to comfort him and held his hand. Ash felt a unique connection, like a bond between two hearts, and a confident smile crossed his face.

Serena: "What is it, Ash?"

Ash, still smiling: "So, you came after all to help them. No surprise."

Serena and Nurse Joy were baffled.

Reporter: "What a disaster! Kyogre has taken down both of the champions' Pokémon."Suddenly, a massive Water Shuriken soared through the air, striking Kyogre and pushing it back into the sea.
