(1 week 5 days Later)

Grace, Delia, Diantha and Cynthia are sipping tea. Over the past week the four of them have got quite close to one another.

"So how is Serena doing? I hear the Master Class is in 2 days time." Diantha asks.

"She is doing fine. The analysts are saying that she has never looked better based on her past 3 exhibition performances that she has given since she left. Palermo was telling me yesterday how impressed she was by the amount of maturity Serena has displayed in the past 2 weeks." Grace says.

"Well that's nice." Cynthia says with a smile.

"I can't wait to see her again. We have our flight tomorrow to Couriway Town for the master class. All of you are coming as well." Grace says.

"Yes we are. It will be good to see Serena doing a performance. I am sure it will be lovely for my first proper performance." Delia says. Grace nods on hearing that and gives a broad smile. Suddenly the 4 of them hear a huge roar.

"What was that?" The four say in unison as they get up and look at each other.

"Could be trouble." Cynthia says.

"Let's check it out." Diantha says while running towards the door. Upon reaching outside they see a guard running towards them in a panicked state.

"What happened?" Diantha asks.

"Don't know Champion. Out of nowhere a huge winged orange colored Pokemon started swooping down and giving of huge roars." Guard says. Suddenly they hear the roar again. All 5 of them turn to see a huge ferocious Charizard coming down towards the ground.

"Wait I know that Charizard." Cynthia says. Suddenly it hits all of them.

"Ash." Delia shouts as she runs towards the Charizard. Charizard finally lands on the ground and then Ash who was till now hidden from their line of sight gets down. He pats Charizard and then return it to it's Poke-ball. The moment he turns he gets tackled to the ground by an emotional Delia.

"Mom C-Can't B-Breathe." Ash chokes out as Delia refuses to let go. When his head starts to turn blue Grace comes to his rescue.

After Ash recovers his normal skin tone Delia shouts at the top of her voice "Where the hell were you? Did you know I have been worried sick about you. Why didn't you call me?"

Ash, Grace, Diantha and Cynthia wince at the volume at which Delia is shouting. Ash stands in silence as Delia continues shouting at him. Many people come to enjoy the sight only to be sent scurrying away from a stern look from Diantha.

Everyone is breathing a sign of relief as Delia has shouted all she can and is now panting rendering her unable to shout further.

"Mom. Relax. Why don't we talk inside after getting you a glass of water." Ash says while taking Delia's hand and walking. The others follow suit.

A few moments later Delia says "Alright Ash. Better start talking. Where were you?"

"I thought Serena already told you. I was in the Hoenn region with the Dragon Emperor." Ash replies as he puts his sleeping Pikachu on the couch.

"And what were you doing in the Hoenn region. Something regarding your Charizard?" Cynthia asks.

"Yes. Dragon Emperor was helping me train along with my Charizard." Ash replies.

"And let me guess. He has told you not to tell us expressively." Diantha says.
