Ash Ketchum and Serena Yvonne, and the deathly hallows (Discontinued)

Chapter 6: Life under the rule of Giovanni

Ash's POV

I woke up to hear a soft humming of a music and sound of water.

I stirred and looked around. Serena wasn't beside, which led to a conclusion that, she is taking a shower.

But what if she isn't?

Maybe a little look in the shower will tell me the answer. 

Come on... A little peek won't hurt...

I tiptoed over to the bathroom doors. I placed my fingers on the doorknob. Just as I was about to turn it, the door flew open and there stood Serena, wrapped in her bath towel. 

She blinked at me.

''Were you...?''

''Er... nonono..''

I walked away casually as though nothing had happened at all. I changed into a fresh pair of clothes as I was very lazy to take a shower. 

...

I decided to change my clothes after Serena told me that Giovanni would be able to capture us very easily if we wore our usual clothes.

So, I decided to wear a hoodie, take off my cap, wore a pair of black sneakers.

Serena tucked her hair under a beige colour fedora, put on a pair of coloured, degree-less contact lenses (her eyesight was back to normal, so she need not wear those with degree), a black tank top and a pink skirt, and a pair of red sneakers. 

I didn't even recognise her for a second, after she changed her style. I have to admit, she still looks stylish after her make over.

Serena and I decided to head out to Jack, a bartender in Kanto, who was also a friend of Dumbledore.

We headed out, turned right once we were out of the building. The shops and stalls that lined the streets looked completely normal, but the people walking on the streets weren't. They had their heads down and walking away quickly. Nobody exactly stopped to talk. It looks as if... the world has became cold-hearted.

As we continue walking down the street in silence, my gaze fell to the other side of street.

A group of 8 soldiers were marching, they have the letter 'R' printed at the side of the uniforms. They randomly stopped people and asked for their identification card.

I watched as they stopped an old lady in her tracks. When she couldn't produce her identification card, they threw her bag of fruits and gave her a couple of kicks, and laughed at her before leaving her alone to pick up her fruits in pain. I walked away and gestured Serena to follow as I noticed a group of soldiers heading our way. If they were to see our identification card, they will know who we are, capture us, and chop off our heads, and that's the end of the Kalos region. I can even imagine the headlines of the newspaper the next day. 'Prince and Princess of Kalos executed yesterday, over 200,000 people witnessed the execution'

Thinking about it just gives me shivers. I am married to Serena, I need to protect her.

I turned to look at Serena, who seemed much happier and more alive as compared to yesterday. She gave me a smile of encouragement and I returned it. 

But that smile didn't last for long, as from the opposite direction, came another group of soldiers. We hastily turned around but we realised soldiers were heading for us from 4 direction. I motioned Serena to keep her head down and walk normally. We left no choice but to hope that they won't check us. 

We walked past them silently. Maybe it was easy after all.

''Hey you two, identity cards''

I sweatdropped. Serena gulped.

I turned around to see a burly sized soldier standing in front of us.

I shakily took out my identification card. Serena followed suit.

He took a look and smiled. I saw him move his hand silently to pull out two cards. 

''They are in order, take them''

I looked at him in disbelief. He then winked at me before handing me and Serena an extra identification card, turned around and joined his troop, who was waiting for him a few feet away.

We immediately looked away and and walked towards the bar which was not far away. Once we were inside, we spoke to the bartender, who gave us a piece of paper and a packet of take-away food. After we received them, we immediately headed back to the house, where the clerk at the desk greeted us. 

...

I sat at the sofa and flipped through the channels. There wasn't much to watch to be honest. Just full of Giovanni propaganda.

I turned it off and studied the piece of paper Jack gave us. It said:

Dear Ashton and Sarah,

Here is a two cards, 
given by a friend,
Use them.
Here is the food,
Eat them.
Here is your house,
find it in the bag,
Use it.
Regards,
Friend

I understood what it meant. 

Serena came next to me and studied the paper. She nodded.

In case you still have doubts, here is what it means. 

The identification cards given by the soldier was a person who opposed Giovanni and worked as a spy, gave us fake identity cards, as our names re-named to Ashton and Sarah, the food will be delivered to our home for every meal, the 'food' he packed for us at the bar was actually a tent, with basic services such as water, food supply, a bathroom, tables, chairs, a bed. Seems impossible right? But hey, you heard it right.

I guess this will be all that will help us get to the horcruxes, undercover. Of course, with the help of Serena.

She smiled at me. I took a look at the beautiful face of her's and got hooked on by it. I tucked her hair behind her ears and slowly inched to her face. Our lips met and I bit her upper lip while she bit my lower lip. We continued for about 1 minute until we pulled apart and breathed for air.

She smiled at me once more and leaned against my body.

''Ashy?''

''Hmmm?''

''I love you..''

''Love you too..''

''You will never leave me right?''

''I... promise.. What about you?''

''I think I will''

She gave me a little peck and snoozed under the warmth of my body. I grew a little drowsy soon after and laid on her head, before dozing off into wonderland, under the world in crisis.

To be continued...

================================================================================

I... did rush it a little... I got to admit... But... after all, this chapter is to tell you guys about life under the rule of Giovanni. What do you expect? Of course the title does seem a little boring... Like chapter titles you see in History textbooks...

So, vote if you liked my creation? Comment on how I can improve since I do not have much experience. Thanks for reading, and.. sayonara!
