Tryst with Destiny: The Beginning of the End (Main Story)

39 : Busted - I

(After the Battle is Over)

"My my. That was quite the battle." Diantha says while walking towards Ash and Serena.

"Thanks Diantha." they say in unison.

"I was most impressed by how you lured Paul into a trap by making him think he had an advantage with that Attract move on Ursaring." Cynthia says. Serena gives a curt bow on hearing that.

"Most impressive team work. You outclassed them both. Looks like your journey has really paid off." Sycamore says causing Ash and Serena to blush very faintly.

"Ash tell me how did Pikachu use Psychic attacks like Psybeam?" Oak asks with a tone of inquisitiveness.

"Of Course it can use Psychic attacks. After all Pikachu is a Psychic type Pokemon. Just because it is is a recess." Ash says when suddenly Serena flashes her eyes in a warning way. Cynthia and Diantha however notice this and they become more suspicious.

"I mean that Pokemon can use moves which are different from their types right. It's all a matter of training them in the correct way." Ash hastily says correcting himself.

"I see." Sycamore says in an unconvinced manner.

"Anyway Ash, me and my mom are going out to celebrate. So we will talk tomorrow. Do you mind?" Serena says while taking Ash by his arm and walking away.

Diantha considers asking them a little more but decides against it. She puts on a smile and says "Of course. Now go enjoy yourselves. You have earned it."

"Thanks Diantha." Ash and Serena say before hightailing it out of there.

As soon as they leave Diantha says to Cynthia "Did you notice the way Serena flashed her eyes when Ash was talking about Pikachu's Psychic attacks?"

"I did. You are right. He was about to say something which he wasn't supposed to say. She stopped him. Now I am sure they are hiding something." Cynthia replies.

"But what? Is the question. Come we shall talk inside my office." Diantha says while leaving as Cynthia, Oak and Sycamore follow suit.

(10 Minutes Later)

Ash and Serena enter their room. They check every corner for anybody being present. Then they lock the door and go into the bedroom and lock it too.

"Ash what were you thinking telling them about Pikachu being a Recessive Psychic Pokemon. Remember they are not supposed to know about Dominant and Recessive Pokemon types. Did you forget what Dragon Emperor told us regarding keeping it secret?" Serena says.

"I am sorry Serena. I just forgot." Ash says.

"Well good thing I was there to ensure you didn't screw it up. By the way I have been meaning to ask what errand did you run before the match?" Serena says while collapsing on a chair with a thud.

"Oh nothing. Just won the Voltage Badge from Clemont is all. So at what time does your mom have her reservation at Le Cirque?" Ash asks.

"In 2 hours why?" Serena replies.

"Good then we can have some fun time." Ash says while putting his hand inside her dress. However Serena gives it a little whack.

"Hey what was that for?" Ash says.

"Don't forget we need to feed our Pokemon too. First we shall do that then you get to have your fun time." Serena says while getting up. Ash grumbles in protest but soon follows suit.

(In Diantha's Office)

"Well let us examine what we know." Diantha says.

"First we have Serena who is a Pokemon performer and not a serious battler becoming an extremely powerful and competent trainer in as little as 3 months." Cynthia says.
