Ash ran through the thick trees, his mind only set on clemont and finding him. Pikachu set on his heartstrings like a rope, tugging. Not only did ash lose his boyfriend, but his lifelong pal. It was too much for him to bare. His vision soon became blurred with salty tears
Clemont sat on a park bench in which he thought was in lumious city. He sighed heavily and hugged his knees. Bonnie was missing and he swore to his father that he'd protect her. His head flooded with that of self-hatred. He wanted ash. He wanted his sister. He wanted everyone he cares about. Just as he was about to cry, something leaped onto his head. Something with mini paws and claws. Something with a flat zig-zag tail. Something-that was a pikachu. But not just any pikachu, ash's pikachu. Pikachu squealed with joy as he hugged clemont's blonde hair
Ash reached what looks like a building. A building in the middle of a forest? It was quite run down and it's walls looked burned. There was rubble everywhere. He couldn't help but feel eerie as he cautiously approached an enterance. The gates were sparking electric, they looked heavily damaged to the point they're not even gates anymore. The place looked exploded and destroyed beyond belief. Tanks outside where charred and one was leaking Some thing odd looking.
A groan-like roar was heard from inside. Ash froze. Run. Explore. He was parylized with fear but his body ached with curiosity. The roar occurred again yet louder. He could see a feint outline of a creature approach from the inside.
Out of the shadows, a pyroar limped out. It looked pained. It let out it's groan again before falling just meters away from ash. Ash looked around. He saw noone. He then looked up. He saw a sign. The sign was hard to make out what it said which made him more afraid. But it was a pokemon in need. He treads carefully through the gate and pet's the pyroar's head. The pokemon looks up at ash with an aggitated yet pained look. As of it wanted to attack. But it allowed ash to help it.
Ash hoisted the injured pyroar onto his shoulders and clutched onto it's back tightly. Ash took one last quick glance around at his sorroundings before struggling the pained pokemon away. He figured that if there was a building there, there had to be civilisation nearby. He had no idea where he was going but he headed in the same direction, his determination fueled by the thought of clemont and helping the injured pokemon resting on his back. Soon he could see a break in the trees, a light at the end of the vegitated tunnel. Ash moved quicker, his movements swift. He slithers his way through the trees.
The light of the sun was blinding. People walking around, finding their families and having friendly discussions. He finally made it, and the city was bustling with people. But no sign of clemont. It took a while for ash's eyes to adjust to the new light. While they did, he took a deep breath and reassured the Pyroar, telling it that it'll be okay. Ash then took off again. He dodged people and pokemon wondering the shattered streets
Clemont held pikachu close to his chest. His tattered mechanic uniform was becoming uncomfortable for him. He looked up at the sky, the sun was low, but it wasn't sunset. Clemont deeply inhaled to yawn. While clemont yawned, pikachu's ears twitched. Pikachu looked in a certain direction and leaped off clemont's lap only to start running in that direction
"Pikachu! Wait!!" Clemont yelled after his lover's partner.
Clemont hastily rose before 'running' after pikachu
Where could pikachu be taking him? To ash, perhaps. Or maybe a very new person.
