"I should teach you how to skate." "What? Why?" "Because if you're going to be my sidekick, you gotta be able to skate with me." Ash and Korrina are birds of a feather. They understand one another. They feel the same feelings. Yet where Korrina races forward, Ash can only walk behind. She can slow down, but she can't stay forever. This is how she left. A short, non-canon side story exploring Korrina's reasons for splitting from the group. Reading up to chapter 12 of "Pokémon XY: Trying Something New" is recommended, but not necessary to enjoy this fic. #Shalourshipping
