Amourshipping: A Broken Boy

Chapter 12: Strength Of Two Bonds

"Make sure to not touch any blue item, it will get rid of your invisibility and this place is packed with them Team Rocket tossers" Ash explained to his two friends as Pikachu and Greninja already knew.

"There's nothing to worry we got houdini on our side and he's gonna reck some shit" Gary said patting Ash on the back. Ash gave a tiny smirk seeing the comedy side of Gary kicking in.

"Master, someones approaching we need to move" Greninja said motioning to move away from the caravan they stood near. The moved away from the door and 2 rocket grunts came and knocked on the door. The door opened and revealed a large man in a red suit and a messed up hairline. Gary and calem took notice of the hairline and sniggered.

"What you laughing at?" Ash asked.

"He has some wonky hairline" Gary laughed as did Calem. The grunts turned around and Gary and Calem went dead silent.

"Eh, it must be the wind" The large man said.

"Come in, what do you want to tell me?" The man said as the two grunts entered and closed the door.

"Let's follow them" Ash said creeping up to the vans door. He slowly opened it and looked in to see any sign of the grunts. They were no where to be seen. He indicated for Calem and Gary to follow. They both entered and carefully closed the door not making a noise. "Where are they?" Ash asked.

"I can hear voices through there" Calem pointed to a tiny hallway where murmurs could be heard. They tiptoed towards and into the hallway and at the end of it they could see the figures of the grunts.

"We have 2 pieces of news for you, sir" one of the grunts said.

"Go on tell me" The man in red said.

"The first one is a message from Giovanni, he has asked you to keep an eye out for Ketchum and his gang and especially her" the other grunt pulled out a picture of Serena. Ash grew tensed. "If we take her, Ketchum will follow her and we could lead him into a trap. But Giovanni said his main goal is to be Ash alone, if that fails it's the girl we go after" The grunt finished. Ash had no words to say. Calem and Gary looked towards him also in disbelief.

"What's the second" the fat man said.

"Second one, sir Xerosic, is the Giovanni found..." The grunt was cut off when something fell to the ground. Ash looked around and saw Gary knocked over a cup of coffee.

"let's get out of here, quick" Ash said as he, Gary and Calem sprinted out of the caravan.

"Phew that was close" Calem said.

"Way to close, sorry guys" Gary apologised but Ash didn't reply he was looking back towards the caravan. He saw a familiar figure of his mother. Gary and Calem were confused who that was, as they have no idea what Ash's mother looks like.

"Let's get back to bed before anyone finds out where we've been" Calem said. Ash nodded still looking at the place he saw Delia at. The trio returned to their respective tents. Ash went back in and found Serena awake.

"Ash where have you been"Serena said as she jumped out of her sleeping bag and embraced Ash.

"Sorry, Calem and Gary wanted some tips in training so I went to help them" Ash said trying to reason with Serena.

"But I feel lonely at night and your the only one who really helps me alot. That's why I-I admire your help" Serena said hesitantly.

"Sorry, I'll tell you next time, it's just that I didn't want to wake you up" Ash said.

"I don't mind if it's you Ash, I would do anything for you because I know you'd do it for me" Serena said, ash nodded in response.

"Well let's get to sleep" Ash said. He got in his sleeping bag as did Serena. Ash felt Serena move closer and rest her head on his chest. "Goodnight" Ash said. "Good night" Serena responded before falling to sleep.
