Ash POV

The drive back was very awkward. No one was talking all of us were so quite you could hear a pin drop. Calem kept asking us if something was wrong. We kept telling him that it was nothing and that we were just tired. After the long silent car ride we arrived at the police station to show Officer Jenny.

We got there and gave the newspaper the picture and told them exactly what to say. I noticed that May and Dawn had noticed something was up and went to talk to Misty. I wish I knew what they were talking about. I felt bad about the way that I reacted so suddenly. I was lost in thoughts when I realized that we had arrived at the station at the press conference. I walked out and was about to enter when Calem pulled me aside.

Ash- Calem what's wrong?
Calem- I cant do this. After going to the house and seeing everything, all those memories. It just it doesn't feel real and now I've seen that bastards face. I can't.. I'm going back out there and I'm going to find him.
Ash- Don't worry I'll do it.

I walked towards the door I was so nervous I could feeel my hands shaking. I took a deep breathe and looked at Pikachu's encouraging face. I opened the door trying to look calm as I saw May there standing there explaining that he is a dangerous criminal along with officer Jenny.

May- If you see this man we in courage you to not approach him. He is very dangerous call the police immediately.
Reporter- Why is he so dangerous and why has no one caught him yet?
Officer Jenny- We are working on catching him he has recently escaped form prison.
Prisoner- Does he have anything to do with Serena the current Kalos queen?

Officer Jenny looked at me not sure what to say and I wasn't sure what to say either. I decided that maybe it's better if they don't know.

Ash- All that matters right now is that the public stays alert we need to make sure everyone is safe
Reporter- Why are avoided the question Mr. Ketchum?
Ash- We not sure if he is involved or not...
Reporter- Do you have a deeper connection to this situation?
May- We will be taking no more future questions.

We walked out as we heard the reporters starting to bombard us with questions. I walked out feeling miserable as well. We all got into the cars bu escaping out the back door. We all headed back to the gym to regroup. Where Clemont was still working on his program.

Ash- Hey Clemont hows it going?
Clemont- I still have a lot of work to do I underestimated how long it was going to take.
Calem- Well how long will it take?
Clemont- Not sure maybe one or two days?. But don't worry we're going to find her no matter what.
Dawn- Right. No need to worry..
Ash- Well what do we do know we just can't wait for someone to say something.
May- It's all we can do.
Ash- No we can do so much more I can't just stand here and wait I don't know about you guys but me Pikachu  and Charizard are looking for Serena or something.
Paul- Yeah and I'll look fromthe ground.
Dawn- Really?
Paul- Are you surprised?
Dawn- Uh no not at all in fact I'll go with you.

I got started and rode on Charizard back for the rest of the day. Lost in my thoughts jus thinking. I skipped dinner I only stopped when Charizard got to tired to fly.

Clemont was letting us sleep in the gym and I was thinking about everything swirling around in my head. About the kiss. I should've been thinking about Serena and Lillie I was so confused. I never thought that Misty would ever like me. I thought she saw me as an annoying little brother not someone she fell in love with. I thought that I became less dense after that kiss but I guess I'm still as blind as I was in Kalos. All these thoughts were messing around in my head and I couldn't fall asleep. I looked over at Clemont, Gary and Pikachu saw they were sound asleep. I quietly got up managing not to wake up I walked out of the gym in to a porch that looked over the whole city.

I walked out an just looked at all the beautiful lights. It looked like all of Lumiose city looked like it was glowing, it was so nice just looking at all the beautiful lights forgetting at all my problems. But at the same time I was wondering could Serena even see lights where she is. Or was she stuck alone in the cold empty dark. I heard the door opened and saw Misty come out. And I'm going to be honest I wasn't that happy to see her.

Misty- Hey Ash.
Ash- Misty hey. If you want I can just go..
Misty- No I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to say I'm...
Ash- I'm?
Misty- That I'm sorry about kissing you. It wasn't the time you never showed that you had any feeling for me. You see we were talking about feelings and how lonely you felt and before I knew it I kissed you a-
Ash- It's okay Misty. But I want to make things clear that I like you but just as a friend.
Misty- Yeah I honestly just want to just want to forget about today. What about you?
Ash- I will on one condition.
Misty- Whats that?
Ash- You have to promise me that no matter what happens we will always be friends.
Misty- Of course. So your thinking about Serena right?
Ash- Yeah it's like I want to help her but I don't know how and there's Lillie..
Misty- Wait what happened with Lillie?
Ash- She's missing and her brother wants my help and I can't I mean Serena is in just as much trouble.
Misty- Well your figure it out once you get some sleep.
Ash- Right goodnight..

Serena POV

I woke up again to another terrible day. I woke up they let us train we ate "breakfast". I noticed that they were slowly taking two people at a time into another room and they would come out different. No one else was noticing it because the guards didn't want the prisoners to get distracted. When they came back they had such a dead look in there eyes like they're was nothing left in them like they were empty. It was at lunch that things got super obvious. Kids were walking slowly and were perfectly listening to the guards a little to well for my liking.

Serena- Everyone acting weird today.
Ruby- Yeah your right everytime they come back out. It's really weird somethings up.
Serena- So what do we do?
Ruby- Try to figure it.

Ash POV

I was lying back in bed in the morning with all these thoughts in my head thinking back. I kept trying to figure it out but it just made my head hurt last time I thought this hard I had just lost to Wolfric. I remember what Serena told me that I just had to get moving. Moving that's it!

I woke up changed and ran out just in time for Pikachu to hop onto my shoulder. I ran out and right into the forest. I just started running through the forest I wasn't thinking about anything I was running along with Pikachu and I reached this spot. I was a clearing on top of a cliff I could see all of Lumiose city and could see everything. I sat down and thought that everyone seems so different.

Everyone has there own lives but we're all in the same situation. We all have similar problems. I was thinking about what Paul said and how they would need somewhere private and big and... that's when it hit me!

Ash- That's it Pikachu! Aether paradise Serena is at Aether paradise!!
Pikachu- Pikachu!!! Pika?
Ash- Huh?

I felt a chill up my spine like something was watching us. But I didn't feel nervous or scared it was a familiar feeling like a friend had just returned a very special one.

Ash- Greninja?
