Hello there and welcome to my first one shot chapter, hope u like it.
Now class I would like you to say hello to our new student" A teacher told her class. "Her name is Serena Yvonne and she is from the region of kalos"
"Kalos?" The whole class asked. "Where is that?"
"It far away from here" the teacher explained. "Very far away from here, indeed"
Then the teacher of the class turned around to face the young classmate.
"Would you mind if you will sit next to...Ash Ketchum, over there?" She asked. Pointing an empty seat next to him.
"Okay Miss" The young blonde girl nodded.
Serena went and sat next to Ash. He was a little 5 year old boy. Shy and hardly talked. People thought he was a mime or a dumb person. A person that can't talk. He had no friends or any siblings and always sat by himself under the huge oak tree. Having someone actually sitting next to him was something he never saw coming.
"Hi!" Serena smiled at the shy boy.
Ash didn't reply but got on with his drawing. Serena was confused why the young five year old boy didn't reply. So she thought to say something else.
"What's your name?" Serena asked.
"My name is Ash" Ash replied but in a small tone of voice.
"Nice to meet you Ash" Serena replied with a smile. "My name is Serena, Hi!" Serena greeted as she opened her lunchbox.
"Umm Hi" Ash replied as he took another bite from his apple.
"Hey do you want something from my lunchbox?" Serena asked Ash.
"Am I allowed to?" Ash asked.
"Of course" Serena smiled. "Friends are allowed to share food"
"Friends? What are friends?"
"Well...umm...I think friends are people that you like and are special that's what My Mom told me, but I forgot most of what she told me" Serena explained as she got her Cadbury chocolate bar and broke it into half. "Here you can have this"
"Thanks...friend" Ash smiled back at his first friend.
So the two ate their food and when the bell rang, the class dismissed. the two best friends hold hands back to class. When they where outside their class the class saw them holding hands and started to accuses them as boyfriend and girlfriend.
"What's that?" Ash asked, while Serena blushed.
The whole class laugh at them. The class was about to tell them until their teacher came out and told Ash and Serena to join the line so they could get inside. It was free time for the whole class. A few people went to the computers and started to play minecraft. some went to the dress up and started to play knights and dragons. Meanwhile Ash and Serena were on their table drawing with crayons.
"Hey what is that?" Serena asked Ash.
"Well I don't know" Ash replied.
"It looks like a yellow mouse" Serena added as she got a red crayons and drew two red circles on both of it's cheeks.
Then Ash got a black crayon and coloured the tips of it's ear. Then they both drew a zig zag tail at the end.
"It looks cute" the young girl said. "It should have a name"
"What about...Pikachu?"
"Pikachu?" Serena said.
"Yeah because my aunty has a mouse that goes chu and it's name is Pika" Ash explained.
"I like it" Serena said.
Serena picked up a black crayon and was going to write Pikachu but was stopped.
"Err, How do you spell Pikachu?" Serena asked her friend. Confused with the spelling.
"I think I know"
Then Ash took the black crayon out of Serena's hand and wrote the name Pikachu down.

The two best friends smiled at each other. They were proud to what they drew together.
"Hey did you draw anything?" Ash asked.
"Yeah I did" Serena said as she lifted her drawing up Ash's face.
Ash pulled down serena's drawing from his face and took her drawing and looked at it. It had a stick figure of Serena and a stick figure of Ash. Serena had a triangle dress with long blonde honey hair while Ash had a yellow top with blue pants and a red cap. Ash got a idea and got a yellow crayon and started to draw something. When he was finish Serena saw it was Pikachu.
"Remember Pikachu is our friend as well" Ash smiled.
"Oh yeah" Serena replied with a smile.
"I had never had such a great time in my whole life. For the first time I could share my talent with someone else. And that someone was my best friend Serena" ash thought and smiled with Serena.
Grey clouds had covered the skies of the school. So the class had to eat inside their class room. The two best friend were having a great time eating their lunch until Gary came. Gary was a bully in Ash's class. He always asked for money or food from other students. He walked up to Ash.
"Oi Ashy boy!" Gary greeted. "What have you go this time"
"Nothing" Ash told Gary.
"How many times do I have to tell you that you always have to have food for me!" Gary went ash and picked him up by the shirt.
"Hey let Ash go" Serena yelled at Gary. "Your hurting my best friend!"
Gary dropped Ash on the ground without care. Then he walked away from the two.
"Your lucky that your girly friend saved you Ashy boy. Next time...you won't be so lucky" Gary said as he walked away from the two.
When Gary was gone Ash got up and sat next to Serena again.
"How could you let him bully you like that?" Serena asked. "That isn't nice what he is doing to you"
"I don't know" Ash replied. "He always act like that to me since I got to this school"
"Well while I'm here that isn't going to happen anymore"
"Thanks a lot...Serena" Ash smiled a weak smile. "I don't know what I could do without you"
The weather wasn't as bright and the rain just kept pouring down. The school had already finish. Ash and Serena where the only one left.
"We are not going to get anywhere in this weather" the young 5 year old blonde complained.
"Actually we are" The young 5 year old Ash replied as he pulled out a red umbrella from his school bag.
"Wow" Serena said in surprise. "That's lucky" Serena smiled. "Now let's go" the young blonde said as she grabbed Ash's other hand and they started to walk home in the rain holding hands.
The two friends walked home holding hands. As they started to walk home the more the rain got heavier and heavier. Soon they reached the young blonde home. The two pushed the big huge black gates. When the young blonde got in she ran into her mansion waving as she went inside. The young 5 year old boy waved as he walked home.
Today was the day he had to get use to having a friend near him.
It was the next day, the rain had stopped and the morning sun shown all over Pallet town. The young boy named Ash ran all the way to his best friend's home. He waited at the gates and waited until he saw his best friend running down the driveway and ready to greet him at the gates. She had her backpack behind her shoulders. When she got to the gates she pulled them towards her direction and walked out closing the gates behind her.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Yeah" She nodded and smiled.
Then Serena notice something. There was a puddle filled with water from the rain. She jumped into the puddle and water splashed everywhere. Some water got on her blue and white checker school dress. Even Ash's white school top and light blue school trousers got wet as well. Instead of getting frustrated about their clothes wet, the two just laughed.
"We better get to class" Ash told Serena after laughing.
"Don't you think the teacher will get us angry?" Serena asked her best friend. Looking at her dress
"Lets just say a car got us wet while we were walking to class"
"Sounds like a plan to me" Serena smiled.
Soon the two ran all the way to their school hoping that they won't be late.
School went on as any school would do. Ash and Serena did their work and at recess and lunch they would both eat under the huge shady oak tree.
Months flew by without the two best friends knowing. It was one autumn afternoon.
the orange leaves had fell from their branches. The two where walking home when they notice something in the old park. The two ran to the object that caught their eyes. It was a tree house. It didn't look too old or brand new. It was high so there was a rope ladder that they had to climb on. Serena was the first time to try it.
She pulled the ladder to make sure it was strong enough. Then she started to climb up the ladder.
"Hey Serena!" Ash called out. "Do you think that is safe to do?" He asked, worried for Serena's safety.
"Does it look like I'm falling yet?" Serena asked.
"No"
"Well it's safe then" Serena replied as she continued to climb up the rope ladder.
Ash just shrugged his shoulders and climb up the rope ladder as well. Soon the two were at the top and where at the tree house itself.
"Wow, you can see the whole neighbourhood from here" Serena said with astonishment, looking around the city of pallet.
"It's really pretty" Ash added as the sunset was starting to develop. "We should come here more often.
"I know" Serena said. "Let's make this our base"
"Our base?" Ash asked in confusion. "What's a base?"
"You don't know?" Serena said in a surprise tone of voice. "Anyway a base is like a cubbyhouse but with stuff inside"
"Oh okay" Ash replied. "Let's come here tomorrow" Ash added.
"Okay" serena said ending with a smile.
Within minutes a sunset was covering the whole of Pallet. The two climbed down from the tree house. When they got to the bottom the two parted ways and made their way home.
Three years had flown by and Ash and Serena were still great buddies. They always hanged around the tree house they found three years ago. The tree house they were in wasn't in it's best condition like three years ago. The rope ladder wasn't as strong and the rope looked like it was about to break.
It was one lazy afternoon and the two were at the tree house once again. Ash was doing his homework when notice Serena was making something out of yellow material.
"What are you making?"
"Do you remember that creature we made back at prep?"
"You mean Pikachu?"
"Yeah"
"What about it?" Ash asked.
"I'm going to make a stuff toy of him" Serena smiled.
"Oh okay then" Ash replied as he went back to his homework.
It was the next day and Ash was at his home resting from piles of overdue homework. He was lying on the couch flicking though channels on TV. Then the phone started to ring. Ash got of the couch and ran to the phone. When he got there he found his mother already picked it up before he could. His mother took off the phone away from her ear and covered the speaker.
"It's for you" His mother told him. "It's your girlfriend Serena"
"MOM" ash said blushing madly while his mother laughed at his reaction.
Ash accepted the phone from his mother and put the phone against his ear.
"Hey Ash" Serena greeted. "Want to come to the tree house with me?" She asked.
"I wish I could Serena but I have soccer practice in a few minutes"
"Oh...okay then" Serena said, little sad. "See you at school tomorrow"
"See...you" Ash said before dropping the phone.
After dropping the phone Ash ran to his room to get dressed into his soccer clothes. Then he was dressed, he ran outside to the soccer training.
After finishing his soccer practise, he went home, but as he entered he saw his mother in tears, but not her, ash saw Serena mother who was crying and started to get confused.
"Why are you guys crying?" Ash asked.
None of them spoke a word. Ash knew that something wasn't right. Then serena's mother replied to Ash.
"My daughter, your best friend... is gone Ash" Grace spoke. "The rope ladder she was climbing on, it b-broke, when she got to the top. She fell and broke her skull on her fall" Grace continue. "S-She's gone Ash"
"No,no,no,No!" The boy yelled. "Your all lying!" Ash said before running away from them.
He could here his own mother calling his name but he didn't care. He wanted to see it for his own eyes. Hoping this was all a dream or yet they were lying. When Ash got to the park he ran to the tree house.
He was horrified, shocked and started to cry. When he got there he saw that most of the rope ladder was broken. And under the ladder was the Pikachu doll she made the other day. Then he remember something three years ago.
Three years ago...
The two best friends where at the school's playground. The two where taking turns on swing. Ash was pushing his best friend on the swing.
"Hey Ash?" Serena asked. "Can I ask you something?"
"What is it Serena" The young five year old boy asked.
"What happen if I died before you?" Serena asked.
Ash grabbed the chains of the swing and stopped them. When they were stopped he turned around and faced her.
"Don't you ever say that!" Ash yelled at her. "I promise that I will never let you die until we turn really old with white hair"
"R-Really ash?" Serena asked her best friend.
"Yep" Ash nodded. "I swear that on my life"
Then Serena got off her swing and gave Ash a hug. Then tears of joy came running down her cheeks.
"I'm so glad that I have a friend like you" Serena cried.
"And I never had a friend like you either" Ash told his best friend, wrapping his arms around her. "Now lets head back home" Ash said as he stopped hugging his best friend. "I bet our parents will be worried about us"
"Yeah" Serena replied as she wiped her tears away. "See you tomorrow at school Ash!" Serena said.
"See you" Ash said as the two started to walk their own ways.
Present
After that Ash picked up the doll. He looked at it. He could still remember the time where they made this creature.
Flashback
"It looks cute" the young blonde said. "It should have a name"
"What about Pikachu?"
"Pikachu?"
"Yeah because my aunty has a mouse that goes chu and it's name is Pika" Ash explained.
"I like it" Serena said.
Present
Then a few tears from the young boy's eyes. He couldn't believe it. His only friend was now gone. He was alive and she was dead. He was here at earth and she was at heaven up in the skies. The the boy collapsed onto his knees.
"Why?" He asked. "WHY ARCEUS, WHY HER? *sniff* She was too nice to die. Like a angel" Ash cried.
time skip
That was ten years ago. I'm eighteen and in my last year of high school. I'm here right here in front of the tree house. Nothing much has changed. the old tree house was still there between the branches. The half broken rope ladder was still hanging. And near her gravestone was a candle and our Pikachu doll. I kneel down and light the candle.
"Serena..." I said under my breath. "I wonder what you would look like right now"
Then I heard a giggle. It sounded like a girl's giggle to my hearing. I looked back and saw it was Serena. It wasn't the Serena I knew ten years ago. She looked like she was the same age as me. She was wearing a white long dress. She was smiling at me. She waved at me and walked away from me into the light. I ran after her but she was gone. Then I saw something on the grass. It was a piece of paper. It had the drawing we made back at prep. It was the Pikachu drawing .Then my memorise of us together back at primary school came back flooding in.
I will never forget them.
My childhood memories. ✌️️? ﾟﾤﾘ
