Recap: Jessie and James are now on a regular Pokémon Journey! That's really all what happened in Chapter 9.
Important: You guys have to pretend that Ash already has his 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Gym badges because of story progression. I know I'm being very lazy right now. Can you guys forgive me? So anyway, on with the story!
Pokémon Center
"The battle between Ash and Iris will begin!" said Cilan.
"Remind me why I have to battle you?" Ash asked.
"Well it's gonna help you later on." Iris replied.
"In what way?!" Ash shot back.
"Just listen to me" Iris yelled.
And the two bickered and bickered.
"Ya know, it's kinda hard to believe that you two are a couple" Cilan said while sweatdropping.
"Fine. Fine. We can battle." Ash said.
"Finally," Iris sighed.
"Under one condition!" Ash said sharply.
"What"
"The loser has to sleep outside today!" Ash said.
"That's not that bad" Iris said.
"That's what you say. The forecast predicts heavy rain tonight!"
"That's not fair" Iris said.
Cilan who has been through this horrible conversation had enough.
"That's it!" He exclaimed. "Since I'm the referee I say the loser has too sleep outside an that's that!"
Ash and Iris were dead silent after being yelled at...
By Cilan.
"Okay so let the battle begin" Cilan said back to being calm.
"Excadrill Go!"
"Sceptile Go!"
"Sceptile?! Ash you never had a Sceptile!" Iris yelled.
"Well I had a feeling this day may be coming so I put together the best team I could think of." Ash said proudly.
"Can you tell me your team?" Iris said.
"Sceptile, Charizard, Infernape, Krookodile, Greninja, and of course Pikachu!"
"Pika Pika" Pikachu said in the side lines.
"Well anyways Excadrill use Metal Claw!" Iris said.
"Sceptile intercept with Leaf Blade!" Ash said with enthusiasm.
Excadrill attacked with its metal claws to attack Sceptile but Sceptile was too quick and attack with a strong Leaf Blade knocking out Excadrill.
"Yeah one down five more to go!" Ash said.
"Heh. This is gonna be a long battle.
The battle raged on but Ash totally destroyed Iris because he had basically the best team he could have. Along in the middle a girl with blonde hair came to inspect the battle. Cilan can to noticed this.
"Hello and who are you?" Cilan said.
"Well you'll find out soon enough!" She replied.
At the same time, Ash's Charizard defeated Iris's Dragonite.
"Charizard wins meaning Ash has won the battle!" Cilan said.
"Yes! We did it!" Ash exclaimed.
"Aww man. Oh well it was good practice for later." Iris said.
Just then Ash turned around and saw the blonde-haired girl.
"Hey Ash!" The blonde said expecting a reply.
But no reply came.
"Ash. I said hi" the blonde continued.
"Excuse me but do I know you." Ash question.
"Stop playing with me Ash" the girl replied.
Ash was looking confused.
"Come on Ash!" She said. She pulled out a photo.
"Do you remember these two?" She questioned.
"Of course! That's Clemont and Bonnie!" Ash said.
"So, you don't remember me." The blonde.
"I honestly don't" Ash said.
"Dang it Ash! I'm Serena!" Serena said.
Ash still looked confused.
"The performer" she continued.
Ash still confused.
"The one who cut her hair. The one with the Braxian. The one who was at summer camp with you." The blonde continued.
Suddenly Ash didn't look confused.
"Oh you!" Ash remembered.
"Yes me" Serena said calming down.
"Iris, Cilan meet Serena and vise versa." Ash said.
"Ash has told me a lot about you two" Serena said.
"And Ash has told not much about you" Iris muttered.
"What brings you here?" Cilan asked.
"Well I was watching TV on Hoenn and saw Ash battling gym leaders and wanted to visit" Serena said.
"Stalker" Iris said under her breath.
For some reason, Iris had a hated Serena but she couldn't figure out why.
Later
The four was having lunch silently until Serena said something.
"So, Ash, you remember what I did when I left for the plane" Serena asked. (AceZackary: Spoilers will be ahead so I demand you to watch Pokémon XYZ Episode 47 right now if you haven't watched it yet.)
'What?' Iris thought.
"No, not really" Ash said.
"Dang it" Serena said under her breath.
It went silent again.
"I need to go get something" Serena said out of the blue and she left.
'That girl is up to something' Iris thought 'Better follow'
Serena went to her bag and was getting out something.
"Ahem" Iris said.
"Uhh what do you want" Serena asked kind of obnoxiously.
"I know you're up to something" Iris said.
"I need go to the woods" Serena said quickly.
Iris followed her.
In fact everywhere Serena went Iris follow behind.
They went so far that the two got to a cliff.
Serena eventually got angry
"You want to know what I did with Ash?! Well I kiss them kiss him at the airport!" Serena blurted out.
Iris looks shocked.
"But", Serena continued, "it looks like Ash forgot about the kiss. But I still have a shot at him!"
Iris had a smirk on her face.
"Well you're too late" Iris continued. "The boy you've been chasing after is my boyfriend!"
Serena hesitated.
"You're lying" Serena said.
"Ask him yourself!" Iris said.
"You dirty stupid hairy liar!" Serena yelled.
Suddenly Iris remembered where she saw Serena before.
Pokémon School, Aspertia City, Southwestern Unova
10 years ago
Iris was running.
Running from who?
You'll find out.
Eventually she was trapped.
"What you going to do Hairy?" A young blonde girl said.
"Leave me alone Serena" said Iris.
"No. Now get out of our school!" Serena yelled.
"But. But my daddy sent me here" Iris said weakly.
"I don't care! We don't need people like you here ruining our school reputation." Serena said bitterly.
Serena started kicked Iris everywhere it hurts.
"Please STOP!" Iris cried.
Present Day
"YOU!" Iris yelled.
"Now how long did it take you to figure out who I am?" Serena said with a smirk.
Iris said nothing.
"Well you're too late!" Serena said. In a quick rush, Serena pushed Iris off the cliff.
"What! Nooo!" Iris said helplessly as she fell. She felt weak, mad, but most of all.
Scared.
"Pull yourself together!" She said. "Go Dragonite!"
"Draa" Dragonite said.
"Save me!" Iris yelled.
Iris flew up on Dragonite to the land only to surprise Serena left the scene.
Deep in the Woods
"How is your work doing?" said a mysterious voice.
"All good boss, although the purple haired one, Irish or whatever her name is is on on to me." Serena said.
"Should I send over help." said the voice.
"No Giovanni. I don't need the freakish talking cat. I'm good." Serena replied.
"Okay. But if this plan fails..." Giovanni warned.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm toast." Serena finished.
Serena dropped the video call.
"Those fools wouldn't see what hit 'em."
