Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon nor the pictures used, but only the storyline.

This cover was made for me by LillianDuncan. Loyalty shall be broken. Bonds shall be severed. Love shall be denied. Or so it seems. Join Ash as he embarks on a dangerous journey through the Alola region unlike one he's ever experienced before. His mission? To free his loved one from the darkness. I do not own Pokemon and their characters. (If I did, Ash wouldn't be ten years old for over twenty years, and he wouldn't be dense as a rock. And Greninja and Serena would still be with him.) I do own this story, though.

Continuation of Pokémon XYZ where Ash decided to return to the Kalos region to see his friends, especially one of them, Serena, after the kiss in the airport.
