At eight years old, Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town awakens his Aura in a violent burst while protecting a girl named Serena at a Pokémon Camp. Though no one else believes her tale, Serena never forgets what she saw. Soon after, Ash is taken by the surviving Aura Guardians, leaving behind his family and friend to undergo a decade of brutal training. Now eighteen, Ash returns to the world as a hardened warrior-scholar, bearing scars from trials of fire, blood, and spirit. Gifted a Riolu descended from his Lucario mentors, he dreams not only of protecting the world but of becoming a true Pokémon Master. Seeking the girl who once believed in him, Ash journeys to reunite with Serena, who has become a gifted Pokémon Coordinator. Together, they begin an epic journey across every known region-from the forests of Kanto to the deserts of Orre, the contested kingdoms of Ransei, and the luminous wilds of Alola. But Ash is not the only one chosen by Aura. A fallen Guardian, twisted by hatred and despair, rises as his dark reflection-an enemy who believes Pokémon should serve humanity, not live beside them.

Growing up with little money and even fewer opportunities, he never expected to become a Pokémon Trainer, let alone attend one of the most prestigious colleges in Kalos.

[Sequel to 'Pokemon School' by SawyerKamiya] Ash and Serena, a pair once closer than anyone could imagine now find themselves miles apart. One bad year, one false accusation, one slip up was all it took for everything to change. At the helm of the chaos: Calem. Careless, selfish and the reason it all fell apart. But things in Kalos are changing. As Ash faces new challenges, he can't help but think about the past and wonder if there's still a future with Serena. Even if they can't go back to the way things were, maybe they can still move forward. Even as just friends, it's worth trying. Because if there's one thing Ash never does, it's give up.

Ash had always been dense, it was well known. Of course as cared for all his friends which were on his journeys and supported them, that of course included his childhood friend Serena. He made sure she knew that he supported her in every possible way he could. But during her final show, her performance changed something in him. Suddenly Ash had a new set of emotions he couldn't understand, will Ash be able to figure out what was going through his head before it is too late? Credits to the amazing artist who made the cover.
