1. Ash's Story (Part 7: Kalos)

Chapter 7

"Now that the Lumiose City Gym is out of the question for now, what should we do now?" Serena asks.

"Of course, we should go to the Cyllage City for my next Gym badge." I say as we continue to walk. But just as they notice the lab, Serena says, "I have an idea! Since we are here in Lumiose City, why don't we go and visit Professor Sycamore?"

"That's a great idea, Serena." David says.

"Also..." She takes out a box and says, "I baked macarons last night! Let's share them with the Professor."

"Oh boy, I can hardly wait!" Bonnie cheers.

When we meet Sina and Dexio again, Dexio asks, "So, how are you and Fennekin getting along?"

Serena says, "She's doing well. Thanks for asking.

"The more you walk around with your Pokémon, the stronger your friendship will become." Dexio says.

Sina says, "You're here to visit the lab, Professor Sycamore has been waiting for your arrival."

When we enter the building, we find the Professor on the third floor. He says, "So you're all traveling together now, eh? Sounds like a great plan!"

"Thanks." We say. Serena then shows the macarons and says, "I baked delicious macarons for everyone!"

"Such a sweet treat!" Professor Sycamore says.

"How nice. I suggest we have a little tea break with those macarons." Sina says.

"I still have a little work to do, so I'll have mine a bit later." Professor Sycamore then leaves for his work.

After Sina and Dexio prepared the tea, we find that the macarons are missing. It turns out that a Chespin is devouring the macarons.

"I knew it was you, Chespin." Dexio says. "Sneaking around again?"

"A Chespin..." I say. "If you wanted macarons, you should have just said so!"

Chespin is wary about us as it tries to use its pointy spikes to hurt me, but I am not worried as Sina says, "I'm sorry. That Chespin is a bit of a prankster."

When I decide to bring the macarons to Professor Sycamore, we find a boy who is helping him out. I say, "It's Alain."

Serena is confused, "Alain?"

Alain turns to me and he flinches before saying, "It's nice to see you again, Ash."

Professor Sycamore says, "Alain has just returned to the lab to help me. You did say that you're looking for him, right?"

I say, "Yeah, Alain. How about a talk?"

Alain nods and we all head to the top floor. I say, "You see, Serena... Alain is also one of my Double Team, just like N."

"Wait, what? How?" Serena is shocked as she looks at me and Alain. Alain says, "It's a long story, the thing is... After what happened to Team Rocket and how my Mom faked her death, let's say that we split again for another purpose... I'm searching for anything about Team Flare."

"Team Flare..." Serena frowns.

I turn to Alain and say, "Since our minds are linked. Alain still hasn't met the boss of Team Flare yet...and that's why I'm going to make a decision."

I take out Charizard's Pokeball, and I say, "You're tasked to help Alain, is that okay for you?"

Charizard roars in agreement as Alain takes the Pokeball. "Thank you, I will definitely need it."

After Alain leaves, we head back to Professor Sycamore and I tell them how Alain has left for a Pokemon journey. Professor Sycamore says, "I see... That's so like Alain."
