Hey guys, Jeff here.

Sorry for the lack of stories for the past few days; but I now present to you this story called Opposites Attract, Eventually.

This is a story with the mix of my two favourite ships - Mirramourshipping/Amourshipping.
I find this an interesting mix and has given me a sort of challenge as to how I would tackle this topics and how I could incorporate it into one story...

Key (to get rid of confusion between characters):

Mirrored Characters (e.g. Mirror Ash = Ash)

Real Characters (e.g. Real Ash = Ash)

Anyways, let's get to reading...

Ash ran inside a cave with his precious mouse Pokémon resting on his shoulder entitled 'Reflection Cave', as the sign states from the outside. He had left his travelling companions behind; he had just left them for good. He couldn't take them anymore, especially how they treat him all the time, every single day. He couldn't forget the amount of times that Serena, Clemont and Bonnie teased him, the amount of embarrassment, pain and suffering he had to go through every single day; hence he decided to travel alone from now on.

Ash sat inside the Reflection Cave, looked straight at the wall that was in front of him. He stared at the wall, which gave off his reflection, near the entrance of the cave. He was not particularly in focus at all, lost in thought. So many thoughts were surrounding him, clouding his mind…

In front of him, he saw Serena; but it wasn't really her. More like a memory, that played out on the wall, a hallucination if you will. He remembered the memories of them when they were younger, the memories when they first met, the memories of when they travelled together, the memories of their good times as well as their bad times, the memories when they were together...

Ash felt his heart ache. He wanted her back, he wanted her next to him at this very moment, and he wanted her next to him when he needed her the most. They didn't have to talk to one another; they didn't even have to be close to each other, just as long as she was with him, at least present at the same time and place. But no. He had sent her away, and locked himself away. He just wanted to be left alone for a few minutes with Pikachu by his side – he just wanted some peace and quiet.

His mind was totally focused on one thing and one thing only. He was focused on the relationship he had with Serena…

(Flashback Starts)

"Fennekin, use Flamethrower!" Serena commanded Fennekin – who was keen for Serena to give an order to attack.

"Froakie, use Water Pulse." Ash said calmly and quietly without any confidence to his shy and sly Froakie.

At this point, Fennekin breathe out fire from its mouth and Froakie charged up a ball of water in its hands. Fennekin used Flamethrower and Froakie used Water Pulse. Both attacks hit each other and collided with each other causing an explosion; however Fennekin used another Flamethrower attack out of nowhere and had a direct hit on Froakie, which made Froakie faint and hence ending the battle.

"Froakie is unable to battle; therefore Fennekin is the winner!" Clemont announced.

"You two battled excellently well! What a great battle!" Bonnie expressed her gratitude with the battle that was presented before their eyes.

"Hey Serena, I thought this was for fun. You said that you won't take this seriously." Ash complained as calm as he can to his girlfriend, as he began to tear up. The battle between Ash and Serena was supposed to be a friendly battle, a battle between the two lovers (as Clemont described it) – as they just wanted to have some fun whilst Clemont prepared lunch with the help of Bonnie – however Ash didn't anticipate that Serena being this serious about this, but that was one of the characteristics that he liked about her that gave him confidence in his gym battles.

"You're not gonna cry again, are you Ash?" Serena teased Ash. Serena always teased Ash about his timid and unconfident personality, which is what Serena liked about him – as she can get to tease him whenever she wanted.

"N-no…" Ash stuttered as tears poured down from his eyes; annoyed now with Serena's arrogant teasing.

"Here we go, again! Look here guys, its cry-baby Ash!" Serena yelled so that everyone heard and made Clemont and Bonnie giggle a bit.

"Why are you so mean to me all the time?" Ash said as he wiped his tears off his eyes and turned to face Serena.

"I'm just joking around, Ashy." Serena said as she felt regret and guilt to what she had done towards her boyfriend, which made chuckle a bit – as Ash liked it when Serena uses that nickname to call him, as he find it quite cute sometimes.

"I know…" Ash said as he saw Serena coming towards him – who was looking down towards the ground, showing her guilt and how she regrets her actions towards her boyfriend.

"I think that you were a bit mean to Ash, Serena…" Clemont suggested with serenity.

"I would agree with you there, brother dear." Bonnie said; showing her faith and confidence of her big brother's predictions and theories.

At this point, Serena came up to Ash from where she was standing to where he was and gave him a huge hug. She then wrapped her arms around Ash's neck and closed the gap between them. They then both closed their eyes as their lips touched each other. The passionate kiss that they shared with each other lasted for about a few seconds, perhaps a minute, but they didn't mind at all. They both wanted to stay like this forever; but before that, Ash broke the kiss – which made Serena pout with disappointment and annoyance (as she was enjoying that certain moment that they were having).

"An interesting occurrence, wouldn't you say so brother dear?" Bonnie mentioned as she looked at her big brother, who was just staring at Ash and Serena.

"What was that for?" Ash asked as he broke their kiss and scratched the back of his head.

"Well, it's to say that I'm sorry." Serena replied as she looked at Ash directly in his eyes before raising her voice a bit, "So, don't cry again!"

"Please stop, it's so frustrating when you tease me all the time." Ash responded as he was starting to lose patience with his girlfriend.

"Well, I just don't want a boyfriend that's not man enough and cries all the time!" Serena said as she criticised Ash for his behaviour and attitude to the whole situation.

"If you don't want me as you're boyfriend, then I'll gladly leave!" Ash yelled back, which was unexpected as Ash would normally take the quiet and calm approach rather than taking the loud and brash approach to resolve an argument between him and Serena.

"That's fine by me! I don't even care anyway about you anymore!" Serena shouted back at Ash to release her frustration and anger on Ash.

"I don't want a girlfriend that always teases me and makes fun of me all the time!" Ash yelled in response before looking at Clemont and Bonnie and saying, "I will also start travelling alone!" before running off into the distance.

"I suppose we're breaking up then!" Serena yelled at the top of her voice to make Ash hear what she had to say; but Ash just continued to run away from the group (trying to not look back) and this just suggested to Serena that his answer was a 'yes'.

"Wow, that escalated quickly. What a mess!" Clemont suggested as he continued to prepare lunch for what's left of their group.

"I could not agree with you more, brother dear." Bonnie said as she nodded her head with complete agreement.

(Flashback Ends)

As the flashback which appeared in his mind ended, he immediately tried on getting rid of that past memory, the memory that will haunt him for the rest of the day or even for the rest of his life.

Ash then looked at Pikachu – who was taking a nap for some reason – and just asked him, "Why do I feel so empty inside, Pikachu? I feel like there's just something missing."

"Pika-pika." "You just want Serena back, probably." Pikachu said as he rubbed his eyes with his tiny yellow paws, as he had just woken up from his nap.

"What do you mean, buddy?" Ash asked confusingly.

As Ash said this, Pikachu charged its Iron Tail attack, jumped up towards the ceiling and slammed the attack on Ash's face, hitting him directly. Pikachu then said, "Pika-pika! Pikachu-pika!" "How can you be this dense?! Serena was you're girlfriend, so that's why you want her back!"

At this point in time, Ash felt regret and guilt. He couldn't erase the fact that he had left his girlfriend behind, even though he actually loved her. He regretted on leaving Serena and ending their relationship with one another. He couldn't withstand the fact that he was now all alone again, just like before. He remembered how Serena made his life more exciting, more adventurous. He also remembered how he got confidence and determination from Serena – seeing improvements on his gym battles. He just cannot let go of Serena like this…

"Thanks Pikachu. That really helped." Ash said with gratitude as he patted his partner on the head, showing his appreciation for what Pikachu had done. He made Ash realise that he needed Serena more than anything else; however what he wanted was for her to change – for her to stop teasing him or making fun of him – before they go back together.

As Ash rubbed where Pikachu hit him with its rather powerful Iron Tail attack, he noticed something moving on the wall in front of him. Ash stares at the wall for a brief moment before he was saw the mirrored wall revealing another dimension with another Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie. He stepped into the portal that had just appeared in front of his eyes and stepped into this unknown world which had revealed itself.

Well guys, that was Chapter 1 for you all!

I do apologize that this chapter is a bit short, but I promise that the next ones will be longer...

I must say, this has been an interesting chapter to write as I didn't know how I would make this work; but I finally did it in the end! :)

I predict this story to be at least 8 chapters long, so it will be as long as my other stories!

During me writing this story, I urge you all to review (at least) every single chapter and put your thoughts about it - as I would appreciate that!

Anyways, I'll see you all in the next chapter!

See ya! Have a great day!
