Day 2

Red was disstressed that Serena had no romantic interests in him at all. But seeing how she looked at Ash, made him feel wierdly happy. He wanted to help her be happy. He truely loved her with all his heart. He vowed that day that he would do anything to pair her up with Ash and see her happy in the end. He knew it wouldn't work out between Serena and him, but a guy could dream couldn't he? Besides, if she found out his secret...

Meanwhile, Clemont wanted so badly to get Ash and Serena together. Serena had major feelings for him, and he found those signs evident from the beginning. But, Ash Ketchum being the most dense person in the universe when it came to romance, was completly clueless. So Clemont, being an inventor, came up with several ideas to help thier romance. The first of which he was going to put in action when they came to shelter. And that time was now, as a winter storm was brewing and a lonley rickety old cabin stood awaiting in the harsh cold.

Day 2 (Nightime)

Clemont had deciced that the time to uveil his invention, which was a grey cube as big as his head that was sitting on a table while Clemont tinkered with it, was when everybody was bored. That time was now, Bonnie and Korrina looked extremely bored and were sitting and petting Dedenne. Serena however had snagged a spot next to Ash on the couch in front of fireplace, She looked like she wanted to cuddle up to him and avoid the vicious cold air that was blowing on her left side. But, she, of course, didn't have the guts to tell him, and Ash being the densest person on Earth didn't help. Red had said he was going to chop some more firewood. Clemont asked the question, "Is everbody bored?" Clemont got a quiet "yeah" out of everybody. Clemont asked, "Do you guys wanna play a GAME!" Clemont got an enthusiastic, "YEAH!" from everybody except Serena, who was waiting to see what Ash did, and when she saw Ash was doing it she gave a less enthusiastic "Yeah..." Clemont started with the usual, "Well then, THE FUTURE IS NOW THANKS TO SCIENCE!, Clemontic Gear on! Presenting...THE Crush-o-matic! It's a trivia game that you can't stop playing! You just press a button for an answer!" Serena looked a bit skeptical. "Where are the answers coming from?" she asked. Clemont responded with, "A control master (someone who knows all and can control the very reality that they are in by pressing a button on a remote control) is providing all the answers. Clemont started the machine up. A start/quit menu came up in a holographic screen. Clemont clicked START. "Here we go..." Ash said, in a suprisingly dramatic tone for playing a game. Serena muttered, "I gotta bad feeling about this..."

Red may have told them that he was going to chop firewood, but he wasn't really. Going somewhere where there was water was his was of relieving stress. His emotions were balled up like Serena's and he needed her help to unravel them. He sat down on the dirt that seperated the forest route from the beach and thought. He was just thinking about whether to trust Ash or not, I mean he was in Red's way of becoming Serena's boyfriend, but Serena didn't like him that way, at least YET. Red sent out his Sceptile, Root, to chop some wood and had his Ampharos, Spark comfort him. He knew, that if Serena knew of his secret, she might tell Ash. Red let out the rest of his team, Ronin the Lucario, Newton the Charizard, Donnatello the Blastoise and Troggie the Venusaur. He questioned his team. "Ugh... what am I doing..." he said. He took out a black television remote with thousands of other buttons on it, and pushed a random button and interlocked arms and touched his pokemon. He smiled as he teleported out of the area with a blue light.

Gary Oak was honestly reconsidering his life decisions. He stood at the border of Kalos with his Blastoise. Blastoisinite in his hand, but with no Mega Ring. He sighed. Mabye Ash was right, mabye he had gone out of hand. But, the Johto League was the last straw. Ash's Charizard bested his Blastoise. Gary would have his vengance. Gary slowly walked into Lysandre Cafe. Having arrived in Kalos via ship, he had met a nice girl by the name of Lucy and she said she was going to some pokemon center. She was a retired "Team Flare" member. She told him how powerful Team Flare was and what they were going to do. Gary walked to the back of the empty cafe and pushed a red cabinet to the side and walked down the stairs to find a man named Lysandre who was putting his pokemon through an intense training session on hot lava rocks. "We will be powerful enough to beat the champion Diantha!" cackled Lysandre. That was when Lysandre recalled his pokemon, a Gyarados. Gary saw a keystone in the man's orange glove. Gary was taken over by greed and knocked over Lysandre, made sure he passed out and took all of his stuff including his clothes. When he put on the glass visor, a smirk appeared appeared on his face as the visor flashed. "Smell ya Later, Ashy-Boy, I'm coming for you!"
