Chapter 14: The Lonely Girl

                                    

                                          
"Reflection Cave; When two worlds come together" Clemont said, looking at the cave uphead. "What exactly is the reflection cave?" May asked. Clemonts glasses became foggy and he had a huge grin, as if he saw that booty😜, "It's a cave which holds an alleged portal to a parallel universe to ours, so there could be us on the other side" Clemont explained to the group. "However there is some important information but I just can't remember it" Clemont said trying to think. "Well that's great isn't it scientist boy" Gary said causing a few giggles around the group.
                          
"Let's set up a camp for tonight, and get started tomorrow" Brock said. Everyone nodded and set up their tents. Soon they came to a campfire, which was made by Charizard, and started chatting while eating their food.
                          
"So Ash can you do the synchro evolution thing with Charizard?" Trevor asked as he was fascinated by the beasts presence. 
                          
"I don't actually know, we've never tried but my Charizard is still really powerful" Ash replied. "You and Greninja seemed to be on another level back in Shalour, especially that Water Shuriken" Gary said.
                          
Ash remembered the encounter, vividly as he was in an unstable state at the time. He could recall the rather polished and bigger Shuriken which knocked out Team Flare in one hit. 
                          
"Our bond gets stronger by the minute, we put more and more force which gets the best out of us and the important thing is to never give up till the end" Ash said. Serena blushed at the phrase as she recalled the memory when her hero saved her in the forest back in Pallet towns summer camp.
                          
Flashback
                          
"Where is everybody" A young Serena said looking around the forest. She continued to walk, frightened, by the trees which massively overshadowed her. There then was a rustle in a near by bush. Serena had clenched all of her muscles as she expected some kind of Ghost. 
                          
A poliwag jumped out causing Serena to stumble backwards. As she did, she tripped over a trees root causing her to fall down and graze her knee. 
                          
"MOMMY!" Serena shouted with streams of tears rolling down her soft and young cheeks. Again there was a rustle but seemed more bigger and with more force. Serena closed her eyes in fear as the rustling came to a halt.
                          
"Poliwag?" Serena heard a boys voice call out for the Poliwag which ran away. The boy came out the bushes and spotted Serena on the floor crying. He rushed over to her.
                          
"Are you okay, why are you crying?" The young boy asked. Serena looked up and gazed into the boys raven eyes.
                          
"I fell and I hurt my knee and I can't get up" Serena said still whimpering. The boy pulled out a handkerchief and tied it around her knee tightly.
                          
"Pain Pain Go away, leave this girl alone" The boy said as he waved his hands around her knee. Serena tried to get up but winced in pain.
                          
"Ow, I can't get up still" Serena said with her sobs dying down. The boy  put out his hand for support.
                          
"Don't give up till it's over, kay?" The boy said. Serena slowly reached out to grab his arm. Ash abruptly grabbed it forcing Serena to jerk forward and embrace Ash in a hug. Serena quickly pulled away, even though she liked it. 
                          
"By the way my name is Ash, what is yours?" Ash said with a toothy grin.
                          
"M-my names Serena" Serena replied still holding Ash's hand. "That's a beautiful name" Ash replied. Serena blushed at his words. "Well let's go back to camp we don't want to be late for dinner" Ash said licking his lips. With hand in hand they both walked off in the direction of their camp.
                          
End of Flashback
                          
"Always my hero" Serena thought as she daydreamed about the scene.
                          
"Serena!" Ash said waving his hands in front of her face. Serena instantly snapped out of her daydream and back to reality.
