Falling For A Master

Chapter-9-The End

So! Here we are! Chapter 9! I am sorry to say that this will be indeed the last chapter :'( I've had such an amazing time writing this story. I hit over 1k reads which was absolutely amazing and I can't thank you all enough! And without further aduo, let's begin!

Serena's P.O.V.
I wake up. It's snowing outside. I look to my left and see the empty spot left just as it had been when I went to sleep. I get up and walk down the stairs. I prepare breakfast and as I sit in front of my cereal my phone buzzes. I look at it. Reminder! Christmas! Ash is home!

I would've been pleased if Ash hadn't told me he wouldn't be home. I sigh as my eyes water a little. I look to the wall on my right and see the picture of our wedding day. We were happy, delightful. Not a care about the future. There was me, in my flowing white dress, veil trailing behind, beaming, Braixen at my side. I was holding Ash's hand. He wore a grey suit, red tie he was also beaming; making the scar across his face more prominent. Pikachu was perched on his shoulder and rose petals swirled around us.

The tears fell and I couldn't hold them back; I didn't want to. All I want is for Ash to be by my side now, to see our child be born. I put a hand to my still small stomach and feel a shaking in my pocket.

Braixen emerges and looks at me. "Braixen?" She asks. "I'm fine." I say trying to sound reassuring, wiping the tears away. She hugs me and I hug her back.

Ash's P.O.V.
"It's come down to this." I say as Giovanni stands bearing over me. You should've given up while you had the chance! Be with you're wife. But, you were never that relaxed person were you kid. You always wanted to be where the action was. And that trait has led you to your death." "Think again!" I snarl as I teleport behind him. He turns and uses flamethower. I can't think fast enough and it hits me on my left cheek. He continues non stop until I burst a water gun at him and he's blasted back. My face is burning and I use recover to no avail.

"Well played Giovanni, but your time is up!" I roar at the twitching body on the ground. I look at the sky and absorb the suns rays into my chest where they burst into Giovanni who was staring at his death. There was an explosion and as the smoke cleared there was only one man standing where before there were two.

Serena's P.O.V.
I say there, looking through old photo albums crying shamelessly. Photos of our school days with our friends, photos of Ash winning the Kalos League and me becoming Kalos Queen, of course those days were well behind us.

I took a sip from a wine glass that stood stationary on a table in front of me. I scrunched up my face. I never liked wine. I looked to the corner where Pikachu lay napping in an arm chair. He was affected as much as I was by Ash leaving, he'd been his closest friend.

Then his head perked up like a reflex. His ears twitched then he cried "Pika-Pi!" He ran with the speed of lighting to the door and knocking the wine and tossing the albums aside I dashed after him. I followed him out the door to where Ash sat on the floor completely drained. He was stroking Pikachu saying "Heya buddy! How've ya been?" Before looking up and seeing me.

There was a smell of singe and sweat from him but it didn't matter. It was the first time in three months I'd seen my husband and I wasn't going to let it slide by. I flung myself onto him and sobbed into his shoulder. "I thought I'd never see you again." I cried. "I told you I'd come back though, didn't I?" I embraced him tighter. "Don't worry i'm never leaving again. Merry Christmas, Serena." I looked up and smiled tearfully into his scared and burned  face. "Merry Christmas, Ash" I said as the snow began to fall.

Well, that's all folks! I really hope you enjoyed and special thanks to every single person who took the time to read this. I love you guys very much and hope to see you all in another story! But, for now, BYEE!!! ~mollsr
