Wasted Opportunity

Chapter 5 :The Journey Back (Ending)

Ash ran after for her mom's car after Delia forgotten to give Ash's cellphone back.

"Mom wait up!" Ash said between inhalations panting heavily.

Delia took a glimpse at the car's rear mirror and spotted Ash chasing after her. Delia instantly stomped on the brakes and the car came to a screeching stop.

Delia stayed still for a moment and waited for Ash to catch up. Ash finally catches up with Delia's car and Delia rolled up the windows.

"What is it Ash?" Delia asked impatiently. Ash showed his hand in front of her and said.

"Mom, where's my phone I need it back please." Delia scratched her head and said.

"Oops silly me, here you go" Delia said apologizing handing the phone back to Ash. Ash then left without saying a word, not even a meek thank-you. "He ran just for his phone!?" Delia assumed unbelievably.

In the meantime Ash was trying to trail what her mom did with his phone. "I know she said she was calling somebody, let's see here" Ash thought as he accessed the call history from his phone.

To his surprise the latest call made was for Serena. "Why would she even call her; they've never even met" Ash wondered for a moment.

"I'll just confront mom later; I don't want to call Serena and she might think of me as gossiper-Gah! Why do I always try to act nice around her?" "I guess my love for her causes me to be this way" Ash thought hard for a while and decided to shrug off his thoughts and focus his thoughts on training his Pokémons.

He ran back to his house and called out to the professor, "Professor Oak could you come with me to your lab; I really want to see my previous Pokémons again and I have decided to train them in order for them to become stronger."

Professor Oak replied with a happy tone, "Sure Ash but should you wash the dishes first before you do anything else" Ash looked at the rather messy table and sighed heavily, "Ahhh, do I have to?"

Professor Oak nodded.

"Fine! But you owe me a solid Professor" Ash said angrily as he grabbed the empty plates from the table, "Mom did cook a lot today It's going to take me a long time to freaking wash these damn dishes" Ash thought, annoyed as he flipped open the handle of the water faucet and grabbed the sponge as he proceeded.

3 hours later....

Ash was done for his training today; he decided that he would challenge Diantha again and he would make sure he would win but he still has a long way to go.

He already has his plan on mind he would use Charizard against Diantha's Gourgeist, his Krookodile against her Tyrantrum, his Pikachu against her Hawlucha, his Greninja against her Aurorus, his Glalie against her Goodra, and finally his Muk against her Gardevoir. He already had this planned, he chose carefully so he can have more type advantages against Diantha. He was so excited but he knew it wasn't going to be easy.

Ash ran back to the house, he spotted his mom on the kitchen.

Delia called out to him, "Ash! Did you do the dishes" she says with a surprised look.

"Yes, oh I almost forgot why did you call Serena on my phone?" Ash asks with a suspicious look.

"Uhh, did I?" Delia lied failingly.

"Yes! It's in my call history! Why would you even call her you never even met her? Mom?" Ash said curiously.

As much as Delia wanted to lie she knew that Ash needs somebody that will take care of him, she wanted the Ketchum family to continue so she decided to tell the truth.
