Chapter 11

"Silent thoughts"

The two flare grunts disguised as Far'Fetched shipping workers had finished picking up all the debris in the road and we're ready to go when all of a sudden a familiar face in a white suit emerged from the forest. It wasn't long after the other 4 grunts also came out of the woods behind him.

"Administrator!" the one man yelled as he approached the vehicle. "I take it you took care of those brats then?" he added as the admin walked up to them and chuckled making him breathe a sigh of relief. "No on the contrary my friend" he began causing them both to raise an eyebrow. "That single young man and his four pokemon dispatched all my grunts and then led me on a wild goose chase through these woods." the two disguised workers were at loss right now. "It was most impressive, I clearly underestimated his skills and his mind." "I would never had thought he'd be bold enough to jump off a waterfall with that girl still under the effects of your stun spore. They truly trust each other with the other one's life, its a rare quality my friends these days..to find someone you trust completely like that.." the admin then tilted his head up into the sky lost in thought.

"we have to go after them!" One of the grunts yelled "Yeah we can still stop them!" another yelled as the group began to rally itself for another attack. The admin simply shook his head and smiled. "Its too late my friends, they're already back in Starview Town by now. I'm sure Officer Jenny already knows what happened and has deputies patrolling the streets by now." "No my friends this operation is over, time to pull out our undercover agents and regroup."

Both of the disguised workers lowered their heads in shame at the admin's words. One of them eventually spoke up. "We failed you administrator. Our deepest apologies." he said weakly. The admin turned to the men to speak but before he could the other disguised worker spoke up. "We both volunteer to go into Starview Town and eliminate them! Even if we get caught the message will be sent that no one messes with Team Flare and gets away with it!"

"Gentlemen come now" the admin said calmly "that would be pointless, we're not looking to make a name for ourselves...yet." "But sir surely they're gonna tell the police about us and.." "And what?" the administrator interrupted. "They tell the police and what? Nothing. She has nothing, she can do nothing" the admin said with an evil smile.

The grunts all smiled after hearing the admin's words. He words were true, no one had even heard of Team Flare up until this point. Even if the young trainers told Officer Jenny about them the very most she could do is put out a warning about them. They still held all the cards at this point in time.

"Tonight was merely a setback" the admin said addressing all of the men now. "We'll regroup underground for now and grow our forces there." "But what about the boy and girl sir?" one grunt asked. "That young man in an exceptional trainer I have no doubts our paths will cross again. When that time comes we'll get our chance at retribution." he said drawing a small cheer from his men. "For now sent out call sign forty four to all agents in the field." "We'll meet again young man I assure you" he smiled to himself..

Officer Jenny took another sip of her coffee and sighed as she once again stared out the window of the Starview Police station. Some would say she really drew a winner when she was assigned this town. However for her sometimes, alright nearly all the time it was just plain boring.

Starview Town was the picture of a model town. Clean streets, great people and practically zero crime to speak of. Sometimes she wondered why this town even required a police force. Most nights like tonight she would just send the deputies home and catch the occasional nap during the night shift. Her trusty companion Manectric would alert her of any trouble on the off chance it happened.

It was about Two thirty in the morning when Jenny had once again dozed off into another nap. She dreamt of fighting crime in the big city and getting as much praise as some of her other cousins had received throughout the kalos region. All of sudden a nudge at her leg awoke and she saw Manectric there poking at her with its snout.

"hmmpph...what is it Manectric?" she said with a yawn as the discharge pokemon motioned for her to look at the window. Jenny pulled herself up and looked out the window and gasped. Walking into the town was young man who looked to be in his mid teens flanked by four pokemon at his side. In his arms she saw he also carried a young woman who also appeared to be in her mid teens. The two humans and pokemon looked like they had been through a terrible ordeal.

Jenny threw her hat on and raced out of the police station with Manectric by her side towards the two humans, upon reaching them she could see the young man had injuries and the young woman looked like she couldn't stand even to save her life. "What happened to you two?!" Jenny shouted as she placed a hand on the young man's shoulder who looked up at her with concern.

"Serena was kidnapped on the strip tonight." he said drawing a wide eyed look of shock from Jenny. "WHAT KIDNAPPED!?" she yelled as she looked down at the honey blonde in the young mans arms who had both a look or worry and sadness on her face. "Please she needs a doctor right away" the young man said "her attackers sprayed her with large amount of stun spore. I was able to give her a small amount of Cheri berries but she still needs help." "what about you uhh..young man sorry I didn't get your name. Those look like some pretty bad burns on your arm and back." Jenny said causing the honey blonde in young mans arms look to turn even more sour.

"I'm Ash Ketchum from pallet town, and don't worry about me I'll be fine Serena needs the help more than I do right now." He said as looked down to the girl in his arms giving her an "I'm okay" look. The performer relaxed and smiled and rested back into to his shoulder. "They must be an item." Jenny mused as she turned towards the pokemon center. "I'll call the town doctor right now, I'll have her meet you at the pokemon center!" Jenny said as she turned to run into the police station. "One more thing" Ash said causing Jenny to turn back around. "There's chance that her attackers are coming here after us, I'd be careful." he said drawing a smile Jenny. "Don't worry Ash my deputies and I can handle that you get your girlfriend to the pokemon center!" she said with a wink and ran inside.

Ash stood there for second as the word Jenny just used had taken him back a little. "Girlfriend..." he thought to himself. Sure he told Serena he loved her, he just hadn't even given any thought to that until now. "Ash is something wrong?" a sweet voice said bringing him back to his senses. He looked down at Serena and smiled. "No...everything is fine" he said with a smile as he carried Serena towards the pokemon center.

The doors swung open to pokemon center to reveal...nothing. The place was a ghost town and Nurse Joy wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Maybe she's asleep.." Ash muttered as all of a sudden footsteps could be heard from the hall leading up to the desk. It wasn't Nurse Joy but her trusted companion Wigglytuff. "Wiggly?" it said with a confused look on its face. Clearly it wasn't used to people entering the center at this hour. "Wigglytuff can you get Nurse Joy? Serena needs help right now.." he said as he looked down at the honey blonde in his arms. Wigglytuff spotted the girl and gasped before turning and scampering down the hall as fast as it could.

About a minute later Nurse Joy emerged rubbing an eye and yawning. "Oh my goodness what happened to you two?!" she cried as she ran up to get a closer look at Serena. "It's a long story, short of it is that Serena was kidnapped and sprayed with a large amount of stun spore. She needs a doctor right away Officer Jenny said she would be sending one over." "Dr. Silverwind isn't here yet but I assume she's be here shortly." Nurse Joy said "In the meantime let's get her into the ICU so she there for when Dr. Silverwind does arrive."

No sooner had Nurse Joy spoken the words, Wigglytuff appeared with a stretcher and pushed it up to Ash. He gently laid Serena down on the stretcher and turned to his pokemon. "You all were incredible tonight. I can take it from here why don't you get some well deserved sleep." he said as he returned the three to pokeballs and then handed them and Pikachu to Wigglytuff. "If you don't mind Wigglytuff?" he said drawing a smile from Wigglytuff. "Wiggly!" it said with a smile as it walked down the hallway with his pokemon. "Pika" Pikachu said weakly as it waved to Ash. "Goodnight buddy sleep well and thanks for everything." Ash said as he waved back.

With that done Ash turned towards the doors of the pokemon center. "I'm gonna go check with Officer Jenny and make sure everything is okay." Ash said as he began to walk towards the door. He didn't get far as a hand weakly grabbed his causing him to stop and turn around in surprise. He then saw Serena looking up at him pleading eyes. "Please don't go.." she said as a couple tears made their way down her face. "Don't leave me here please Ash." The sight of her face was just about enough to break Ash's heart. After musing about for a second he realized that Jenny could handle things outside and this is where he really needed to be right now.

Ash took his hand and wiped the tears from her face before kissing her on the cheek. "I'll never leave you Serena, Jenny can handle things outside. I'll stay right here with you" drawing a look of relief and joy from the performer. "Thank you" she said as Nurse Joy began to push the stretcher down the hallway. Ash walked along side the stretcher holding Serena's hand the entire way to the ICU.

The ICU wasn't the largest seeing as it was a small pokemon center but needless to say it would serve it purpose. Serena couldn't even fit on the table, she have to stay on the stretcher while she recieved her treatment from Dr. Silverwind, as soon as she got there...

"Hello are you all in here?" a sweet voice said from out in the hallway. "Yes we're in here Doctor!" Nurse Joy responded from the ICU. Moments later a woman in her late twenties walked in the room. She had beautiful long dark brown hair and eyes that we're a stunning silver. If Ash wasn't so in love with Serena he may have had to pick his jaw up off the floor. "Hello I'm Dr. Amanda Silverwind, its a pleasure to meet you both." she said with a sweet a smile drawing both a look of a shock from Ash and Serena. "Your the d-doctor?!" Ash stammered out. "Yes I've been here for about a year now since I graduated medical school, I love it here in Starview Town." she said drawing a simple nod from Ash. "Well I'm Ash and this is Serena."

"So what seems to be the issue Miss?" she said as she walked over Serena and began to look her over. For some reason Ash felt complied to speak for Serena. "She was kidnapped by a group of thugs tonight who sprayed her with stun spore." Ash began. "Oh that's awful!" said looking down at Serena with both a look of shock and worry. "I was able to give her some Cheri berries after I found her but I think she more help than what I was able to give her.." the trainer continued as Dr. Silverwind listened on. "Also she almost drowned on the way back here..." Ash said in a mumbled tone. He hated bringing up that incident again but he would go to any length to make sure Serena received the best care possible. "She lost consciousness for almost a minute and stopped breathing. I was able to revive her but I just wanna make sure she's okay." Ash finished looking at Serena with a sad smile.

"Don't worry Ash I promise I'll give Serena the best care possible, she's really lucky to have a boyfriend like you who is so concerned about her." she said with a sweet smile causing both Ash and Serena to blush. They still had some getting used to those titles. "Ash also has burns on his body!" Serena said drawing a look from Ash. "Its ok Serena I'll be fine let Dr. Silverwind treat you for now, your the priority." Dr. Silverwind smiled at the two's banter. "Oh yeah definitely a new couple the concern they have for each other is adorable." "Please call me Amanda" the doctor said sweetly. "And don't worry Serena I promise I'll be sure to look over Ash's burns as soon as I get you treated okay?" Serena smiled sadly and looked over at Ash. "Okay."

"Good, now Ash why don't you down the hall quick and take a shower and get yourself cleaned up while I check out Serena? I'm sure a hot shower would do yo wonders right now." "Yeah sounds like a great idea Doct...er I mean Amanda." he said with a chuckle as stood up from the stool next to Serena's stretcher. As soon as he rose he saw the expression on Serena's face begin to sadden and immediately cupped her face with his hand. "Don't worry I'm just going to grab a quick shower, I promise Amanda and Nurse Joy won't let anything happen to you." he said as he kissed on the forehead and smiled at her. "Okay please hurry back" was all the honey blonde sad with a sad smile as Ash turned and walked out the door towards the bathroom.

"He really means a lot to you doesn't he?" asked Amanda drawing a sad smile and a couple tears from Serena. "I thought I would never see him again tonight, but somehow against all the odds he saved me." Serena said with a tearful grin as even Amanda couldn't help but get a small tear in her eye from watching Serena. "I'm sure he's thinking the same thing right now" Amanda said as they both looked to the doorway Ash had walked through.

Ash turned the water on and stepped into the shower letting the hot water run down his body. Although the burns on his body made the hot water sting at times he still found it very soothing. Serena was on his mind the entire walk down the hallway and into the shower, but at this moment in time and perhaps the first time tonight in the shower his mind and thoughts were truly silent...
