Do I love Her?

The Very Long and Tiring Day

After spending his days endlessly training, Ash has been spending all of his mornings in front of the television screen waiting for any kind of update about the official sign up date, and location of the pokemon league. Clemont was there beside him, tinkering with his gadgets, and Bonnie was there playing with dedenne...

Ash has been watching the news for twenty minutes now, and the only information he got from the reporter on the screen was about a sale on pokeballs, and a terrible flu that's been going around the region.

"... And that's everything for today..." The reporter concluded before giving a quick summary of what she just talked about for the last hour.

"Awww man..." Ash sighed before reaching for the remote control to turn off the TV.

"Pika Pika..." Pikachu shared its disappointment with its trainer.

"On the bright side... you didn't catch that cold she's been talking about." Clemont said screwing a nail into the side of his latest invention.

"Yeah colds are yucky!" Bonnie agreed with her brother, laying on her stomach on one of the couches, tickling dedenne's belly.

"Nenene~"

"Yeah... I guess you guys are right..." Ash said, scratching his head. He was happy about all the small things that was currently making his life feel awesome, but hearing anything about the league would make his life even more awesome.

"Yeah...you're...pretty...lucky..." They heard Serena's voice sound from behind them. It sounded weak, and nasally. The trio turned their heads in sync to see Serena, getting a grip of the doorway, her eyes barely open and her face flushed.

"Serena, are you okay?" Ash said with an immense amount of worry. He hurried over to the girl whose legs were trembling from her lack of strength, "I think you should go back to bed..." He grimaced before lending his arm out to her for support.

She stared at the raven haired boy's arm that was right in front of her, beckoning for her to hold onto it, "Yeah...no... I'm fine... I think I just..." She grazed the surface of his skin with her fingers just before falling to the ground, falling into a state of unconsciousness.

"Serena!?" Ash kneeled down wrapping his arms around her to pick her up from the cold tiled floor.

"Pika Pika!"

"Serena!" Bonnie, and Clemont yelled out in sync, rushing over to her and Ash's side.

"She's burning up..." Clemont said, kneeling on the ground beside Ash, feeling her forehead with the back of his hand.

"Big brother, how about those extra pills we got when Ash was sick!?" Bonnie suggested, squeezing Serena's hand. She was very much worried about her friend.

"Oh right! I'll go check my bag!" Clemont said, hurriedly walking over to his knapsack, digging through all the pockets.

"I'll bring her back to her bed." Ash said lifting up Serena, giving her a piggyback to their sleeping quarters.

Pikachu followed behind Ash before jumping onto the bed, moving the sheets aside. Ash gently placed the ill girl back into her bed before placing the blankets on top of her. He stared at the girl who seemed to be fast asleep. Serena helped me when I was sick... I should be helping her this time... Ash made a fist determined to nurse the girl back to health.

"Oh no!" Ash heard Clemont say out loud in distress.

He and Pikachu ran back to the seating area to see a bunch of Clemont's gadget's and gizmos scattered around the area, "What's wrong?" He asked picking up a wrench from the floor.
