"Why did you do it Drew..." Ash muttered to himself. He walked up to the edge of the peak and knelt inform of a stone slab. Etched in the slab were words Ash had carved with a hammer & a chisel three years ago.

Delia Ketchum

She will forever have a place

in my heart-AK

August 14th, 1973-April 2nd, 2010

Infront of the grave was a withered Dahlia flower, its beautiful crimson petals shriveled and brown. Each petal had water droplets frozen on them, weighing the petals down.

"Mom always loved Dahlia flowers. Did I ever tell you Serena that when my father proposed to my mom that he gave her a bouquet of Dahlia flowers?" Ash asked. He smiled at the memory of the great detail his mother went into describing that moment.

"No Ash I can't say you have. I hope when I'm proposed to I get flowers just like those." She answered putting a hand to her heart.

"Mom once showed me a picture of them. Remember Pilachu? Each of the was a different color, but all o them were equally beautiful, just like she was." Ash said while holding back tears, his lip beginning to quiver.

"Pi" Pikachu said. Pikachu walked up to Ash and nuzzled his face attempting to make Ash happy.

Once Ash composed himself he pulled out another Dahlia flower from his backpack and placed it front of the grave and kissed two of his fingers and put them on the grave.

A few minutes passed and nothing was said. All that was heard was the strong gusts of wind sending snow in all directions. Serena finally decided to break the silence.

"Ash if you don't mind me asking, when will we spread her Ashes?" Serena asked

"Soon Serena. Once I'm think I'm ready to part with them we will goto Pallet Town." Ash said in a serious voice. Pikachu was looking at his friend, his eyes evidently showed that he was worried.

"Brrrrr! It's getting colder by the second! I need to warm up! come on out Fenniken!" Serena said while releasing her first pokemon from its pokeball.

"Fenn, fenn feen, Fennikin!" Cried the little fox like creature.

"Fenniken come here! Warm me up" Serena demanded as she shivered and rapidly rubbed her hands in a futile attempt to warm up.

"Fennnn!" Fenniken yelped as it shot an embed at her face.

"AHHHH! I didn't mean use ember! Oh no my hair it's ruined! It took forever to get it ready this morning!" cried Serena as she collapsed to the ground sticking her head in the snow in order to ease the pain from the burn.

"Umm Serena that's not a good idea." Ash said while shaking his head in disappointment due to his friends childish behavior.

"Pi, pi, pika chu!" Pikachu said while chucking.

Serena pulled her head from the snow, her face was blue, her hair was full of small balls of ice that were mashed into each strand.

"Fenn fenn" Fenniken whimpered as it leapt into Serena's arms. "Feeeen" it cried as it licked her face.

"Oh I can't stay mad at you" Serena said. "Stop that it tickles!" She said while giggling.

"Serena are you ready to go home?" Ash asked with a smirk on his face.

"About time ash! I could really go for some lava cookies right now!" Serena said with a big smile, her eyes sparkling at the idea of the tasty sweet.

Ash took a pokeball from his pocket and threw it in the air yelling "Charizard I chose you!"

As the pokeball opened a large red dragon appeared. It had a long tail with a large flame burning fierce on the end, it stood on two leg as it lifted its head and roared.

It's cry echoed throughout the air, breaking the silence. An Abamasnow in the valley below ran into a crevice in the side of the mountain to hide.

Ash ran up to Charizard and jumped onto its back, Pikachu hopped into Ash's backpack.

"Serena come on! After all your complaining I would think you would be on before me." Ash said laughing our loud.

"Oh I um...ok just let me call Fennikin back into its pokeball" Serena said, her face a light shade of red out of embarrassment in realization they were leaving.

"Fennikin return" Serena said as a red beam of light sucked the little fox pokemon into its pokeball.

Serena then sprinted up to Ash, jumped onto Charizards back wrapping her arms around Ash.

"Serena I know you hate flying so this time I won't have Charizard fly as fast as usual...but still it's gonna be pretty fuckin fast" Ash said with an arrogant smirk on his face.

"Ash oh I really hate y-" Serena started but was cut off but Charizard launching itself into the air and flying at a speed that some would say was impossible for a Charizard.

"ASH KETCHUM I HATE YOU!"

Serena screamed.

"Yea yea tell it to the judge" Ash said rolling his eyes.

Time skip- 4 hours later

As the sun set our heroes could see their home in the horizon. They were almost home.

"There it is Serena. We're almost home" Ash said with a large smile on his face. "All our friends are waiting for us" he said, his face showing the eagerness only matched by a crazed Justin Beiber fangirl.

"Pi Pika chu!" Pikachu cheered, poking its head out of Ash's backpack.

"Nice to be back in Kalos" She whispered.
