Episode 43:

The rock tendrils raced towards them, and Serena grabbed Manon and Bonnie and wrapped them in a tight embrace. The weed snagged her waist and Manon grabbed her wrist. "Manon, Bonnie! Let go!" She pleaded. "My Pokemon will keep you safe." Pancham tugged at Bonnie's skirt. "Pan pan cham!"

Suddenly, more tendrils grabbed Bonnie, Manon and Serena's Pokemon, lifting them into the air and next to the other trainers who had been caught.

"Let us go!" Serena yelled, and the wrap tightened. She heard a crack, and gave a cry of pain. "Braixen!" Her fire type starter cried in fear that it's trainer had been injured. Ash faltered. "Serena!" he yelled. "I'm fine!" She yelled, biting her lip against the pain and yelping as the tendril moved her farther. She could only watch and hope as Ash and Alain made their way in. The others struggled as the weeds only squeezed them tighter.

Then, there was an explosion, as Charizard carried Ash, Alain and the Pokemon to safety with Chespin. Then, the rock tendrils released and they fell towards the ground, the trainer's Pokemon catching them as they fell. Charizard had grabbed Manon and Bonnie as well as Pancham and Sylveon. Serena yelled as the ground came closer, and closer.

Her eyes were closed tight, preparing for the impact that never came. Instead, she felt the soft whistle of a breeze. "Serena? Are you alright?" Her eyes fluttered open to see Ash's worried face staring back at her. "Yes, I'm fine." she said. Charizard grumbled as Ash hopped off, carrying Serena. He let her down and Serena gave an audible gasp as her injuries were jostled by the landing. Gingerly putting her foot down, then the other. A spike of pain shot up her leg and she crumpled, giving a shout. Ash quickly kneeled down beside her.

"What's wrong?" he asked, worried. "I think I broke my leg." She gritted her teeth in an attempt to stand up. "Let me help." Ash lifted her off the ground, and his strength caught her in a tight embrace, her face nuzzled in his shoulder. Her mind flashed back to the day at summer camp.

Ash blushed furiously.

Supporting her with his shoulder, Serena limped with the help of Ash, back over to the others. Ash turned to see Greninja landing next to his, holding Braixen and letting her down gently.

They turned to see the stone statue, commanding their Pokemon to fire upon it. A ball of pure white energy struck the massive beast and it went flying. Then, it rose, eye glowing red with hatred. A man laughed.

"Lysandre." Alain hissed.

He pressed a button and aimed for the group, who frantically scattered for cover. Ash, however, was still standing. "Ash! Get out of there!" Serena yelled. The red beam raced towards him, and then someone yelled and jumped in front of him. There was a flash, and when Serena uncovered her eyes she saw Ash was perfectly fine aside from some bruises. Then Fayre gave a cry. "Alexis!"
