Previously-
"Hey man, thanks for that free-bee the other night. I owe you one." Barney said.
"I'm glad you said that," Ash said as he lowered his hood.
Now-
"No! Keep looking!"
The six beat up Pokemon continued to look, shifting through rubble looking for one who had protected them and their master. 10 minutes past until the police came and dragged the emotionally unstable man out of the ruble where he broke down and started crying. His Pokemon weren't much better and only Gyarados had ever seen him cry before. They slowly walked over to him giving up all hope of finding their savior.
"Sir, listen to me please. Can you tell me what happened?" Officer Jenny asked. When she didn't get a response she slowly grabbed his Pokemon's balls and returned them for him. The Pokemon didn't fight as they knew this was to help there Master. Then Jenny helped him get into the sidecar of her motorcycle. Then she let out her Growlithe and they both quickly looked for anyone else that needed her help. Growlithe smell a few humans and a few Pokemon but he knew they were gone so he stayed quiet. When they were done jenny returned Growlithe and got on her Bike to drive to the Poke center. The ride was quiet as she was in shock at the damage done to a structure of that size. As they got farther from the destroyed Building the man calmed down and wiped his eyes. When they arrived he got up and walked up the counter. All eyes were on him as some of them recognized him and were shocked to see him like this. Most people felt he deserved it while others know that no one deserves something this devastating. Once he reached the counter he handed his Pokemon to Nurse Joy and he nodded his thanks before walking toward Officer Jenny who led him to a room in the back.
"What's your name," Jenny said trying to start a conversation.
"Barney… I think I can tell the story but please stay quiet until I'm finished." he said with a wavering voice, and when Jenny nodded he continued, "My… My friend needs someone else to come to help him protect what he loves as he angered some Flare grunts and decided to end the organization so there would be no one to attack him. So, we went to their base-the large pile of rubble, and we charged right ahead. We continued on until we reached the main room where he took down the leader. But, in the commotion of the battle, neither of us saw him reach and hit the self-destruct button when he knew he would lose. Once we found out we both returned our Pokemon and ran to the get out of there. We were almost clear as we could see the stairs to get to the main floor where the exit was, but then the bomb when off and he shoved me out of a window next to us. I went through the window and then fell about ten feet. The next minute was a little blurry but when I got up I saw that the building had collapsed inward." He paused. I immediately started looked with my Pokemon until you showed up. You have to Promise you won't tell anyone what happened."
"Okay I won't without your permission but I will have to report that your friend died." Jenny paused as she waited for him to nod. After a moment he nodded. "What was your friend's name?" she almost whispered.
Barney braced himself and choked out, "My friend… was Ash Ketchum."
Ever so slowly Serena woke up from a dreamless sleep, the first in a long time as she had nothing more to fear knowing that Ash would take care of her and nothing to dream of as Ash had reciprocated her love and no dream was better than that for her. She opened her eyes to find herself in Ash's tent. She looked around but he wasn't in the tent. Serena thought nothing of it although she had hoped to wake up to find herself in his strong and safe arms. 'Must be outside.' Then proceeded to walk out of the tent to find that Bonnie was already awake and even seemed to be waiting for something.
"Finally! Your guys are awake. So… how was last night? Well, other than being attacked. You know what I mean." Bonnie continued as she failed to see the look of confusion of Serena's face.
'Maybe he is getting water, or something else.' Serena thought. "Bonnie? How long have you been waiting out here?"
"Ever since the sun rose. Why?" Bonnie asked.
Serena looked at the sky and saw the sun was already halfway up the sky. "Ash isn't with me Bonnie," Serena said wondering where he could be.
"What do you mean. You were with him. He was with you." Bonnie said trying to process then not being with each other especially after what happened last night.
"I was with him when I fell asleep, but when I woke up and he wasn't there. And if you haven't seen him then where could he had gone?" Serena asked.
Bonnie was shocked. She didn't think that Ash would leave Serena alone after what happened last night. She then wondered around their campsite to see if she could see Ash. Then she when and sat by the fire pit. She sighed. Ash never leaves like this. She then looked up and saw an envelope in-between two of the rocks surrounding the fire pit. Slowly she reaches for the letter and pulled it out from between the rocks. It was a normal letter sized envelope with a kind of scratchy writing on it. It was Ash's handwriting. "Serena?" Bonnie said in wonder and slight fear. Serena heard this and walked over to Bonnie who just stood and handed her the letter with one word scratched on the front.
Serena
Serena gulped as she reached for the letter with her name on it. She then proceeded to grab it as lightly as she could as if it was a glass egg that could break at any time. She took the letter and sat by the fire pit as she prepared herself for whatever the letter could say. Suddenly a thought popped into her head. What if he was rejecting her as he just got caught up in the moment last night and said something he didn't mean. She shook her head as Ash never says something he doesn't mean. But the fear only receded and refused to disappear completely. There was only one way to make it disappear completely but it also was a to confirm that ridiculous thought. She took a deep breath and then another. She breathed in and opened the letter with uncertainty and a certain lack of precision that she normally had left the top of the envelope all jagged with one tear continuing down from top and continuing down until it went right through the r in her name and then took a sharp turn to the right causing the end part to separate from the Ser part of her name. The torn envelope then fell to into the fire pit as Serena slowly unfolded the un-perfect trifold of the letter. Then she began to read. As she read her first reaction was a sigh of relief, but then it turned to confusion as she continued reading. After reading it a few times she carefully folded it and set it on their folding table that Clemont made and started to pick up camp. Bonnie watched all of this with curiosity, and when Serena set the letter down she carefully picked it up and began to read what Ash had written.
Serena, My love,
I care about you more than I have ever cared about anyone or anything, including Pokemon. I am sorry that I had to leave, but there is one unfinished thing that I must do before I can continue. I promise that I will keep you safe and that we will be together forever when we meet again. I want you to continue to the next town with Bonnie.
I love you,
Ash
Bonnie put the letter back down and then started helping Serena pick up camp. When they finished Serena carefully pick up the letter and then the torn envelope and put them in her bag where they wouldn't get bent and then the two girls proceeded on there way toward the next town.
The trip was quite as all Serena cared about was the next city. And Bonnie didn't know what to say. When they arrive then went straight to the Pokemon Center.
"Hello. Nurse Joy? Do you know anything about someone named Ash Ketchum." Serena asked. Quickly enough and with a tone that almost made it almost rude. Nurse Joy smiled and listened though until she heard the name. She tried to keep calm but that didn't stop her face from paling and her mouth to start twitching.
"I do. You should head back to York city and meet someone named Barney. He knows about Ash." and with that, she walked into the back room before losing her composure.
Serena and Bonnie look at each other and Bonnie sighed, "Can we at least have lunch first before we head back?" Serena nodded and they went searching for a restaurant because Serena would burn the food in this state.
The trip back was just as quiet. Bonnie did her best to stay strong but was fading fast. They walked over a hill and saw the city in the sunset. Serena started to walk faster and Bonnie was struggling to keep up. She wanted to find out what happened to Ash but he was big enough to take care of himself, right? After ten minutes they arrived at the bar where they saw Barney last time. Bonnie immediately went and ordered food while Serna walked straight to the back corner where a blonde man was drinking quietly. When she sat down across from him he looked up and recognized her. His head dropped. "He had me help him take down team Flare's main base, but he saved me instead of himself." Then he left a confused Serena.
Serena tried to process this, but couldn't wrap her mind around it.
"Man these burgers are really good!" Bonnie said as she sat down and started on her second burger. When she saw Serena though, she stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" Serena looked at Bonnie with tears in her eyes. "I think Ash is dead." And with that, she broke down. Causing others to wonder 'what was wrong with her, then again Barney did just leave her there.'
