"You... love him?" Ash's voice cracked. Serena looked away, guilt flashing across her face. "Ash... you've always been kind, and you've always tried your best. But... you're not strong enough. You're always chasing your dream, but never reaching it. I... I can't keep waiting." Those words stabbed deeper than any blade. Pikachu growled in anger, but Ash put a trembling hand on his partner to stop him. "I thought..." Ash whispered, his voice shaking. "I thought we were in this together." Serena bit her lip, tears threatening to fall. "I'm sorry, Ash. But I need someone who's already strong... someone who can protect me, who can actually stand at the top. You're still just... dreaming." Her words echoed like poison in his ears. Ash turned away, his eyes burning, but no tears fell. Not yet. That night, as he left Lumiose City behind, his heart had hardened. For the first time in his life, Ash didn't just want to be the very best-he needed to be. Not for fun, not for adventure, not even for his friends. He wanted to prove Serena wrong. He wanted revenge. And so began his journey-not as the boy chasing dreams, but as the man who would crush them. His eyes set on the Pokémon Masters Tournament, the first one to ever occur, the place where only the strongest survived, the place where the strongest will be born. This time, Ash swore he wouldn't lose. This time, he would stand at the top. And when he did... Serena would see what she had thrown away.

She knows he ain't just good at rodeo - the way he rides horses is nothing compared to his easy smile. With his cowboy hat tipped low and belt buckle gleaming, Draven's got charm for days. But there's a bigger, rougher cowboy in town - Rhett. His dad. The one who really knows how to tie a rope-and tie her heart in knots. She tries to play it safe, but when that hat lands on her head and his hands get close, all the rules go out the window. It's a wild ride full of lies, lines crossed, and burning temptation. She's learning that cowboy rules don't always apply when the heart's involved-especially when the wrong cowboy knows exactly how to ride her wild.
