Hello again, guys! Calem's plan was screwed in the last chapter. Nothing much to say, so yeah! Read on!

Things didn't go very well. To Calem's surprise, Serena didn't turn back or hate Ash (well, just a bit). He didn't expect that Serena would even suspect him!

He was now truly angry. What'll he do? He broke Serena's trust even more, lowering the chances of him getting her. Only thing coming into his mind was using brute force.

'Stupid Miette! This is all her fault!'

Speaking of Miette.

She left the Pokemon Center. She regretted everything she did, from seducing Ash to the last part. She hurt her friend.

'Stupid me.'

Ash and Serena walked back to the Pokemon Center, holding hands. They have forgiven each other already, but of course, there was still a small spark of anger in Serena's heart. But nevermind.

The sight of holding hands infuriated Calem even more, who was watching from a distance. Getting his seventh badge was no longer his priority.

They didn't notice him creeping up from behind, readying for an attack until they heard a voice;

"Absol, use Dark Pulse full power on Ash!"

Ash pushed Serena aside, taking the attack.

"Serena, run!"

"But A-"

"Just go!"

Serena nodded and headed faster. She was planning to call Officer Jenny when she got back.

Poor Ash. Pikachu was still asleep, so he was alone. Calem kept on using attacks on him.

"Calem, s-stop..." Ash pleaded helplessly, nearing the point where he'd faint.

"THIS IS FOR STEALING SERENA! ABSOL, CRUNCH!" he ordered the Disaster Pokemon.

Absol managed to bite our raven haired trainer, causing him to faint. At that moment also, arrived Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie, as well as Officer Jenny, all with their Pokemon ready to attack.

"Serena, no need to do this," he tried to reason.

"What? You almost killed Ash!" she said with a tear running down her cheek.

"Ash! wake up!"

But Ash wouldn't budge.

"Calem, surrender now!" Officer Jenny told the boy. "Or we will attack."

"Attack me then!" he said. But the look on his face worried Serena; he went crazy. Eyes were near to being all white, and his nerves were popping.

"Absol, use Crunch!" Calem ordered his Pokemon again.

"Chespin, use Pin Missile!"

"Dedenne, use Nuzzle!"

"Manectric, use Thundershock!"

the trainers (Officer Jenny included) ordered their attack, with Pikachu who used Iron Tail, causing Absol to faint.

"You're down, Calem. Surrender!"

but Calem still refused. Pulling out a knife, he ran towards Ash and Serena and tried to stab Ash. Serena blocked the attack, making Calem stab her near the chest.

Realizing what he had done, he pulled the knife. He looked in horror as the girl he wanted fainted on top of his rival.

"That's it! Use Thunderwave on the boy!" the blue green haired officer commanded his Pokemon.

It hit Calem, causing him to be paralyzed.

Clemont and Bonnie stared their in horror. Their two friends were now all bloddy when the ambulance arrived.

Ash regained consciousness, but wasn't able to move. That's when he noticed a girl was beside her, lifeless.

Heartbeat.

Heartbeat.

He layed their motionlessly. He had no ideawgo this girl was, or the lemon blonde siblings sitting beside him. He didn't know who he was even.

'Who... am I?'

Oh... that's depressing. Ash lost his memory thanks to the jerk that Calem is. This will be a very long story thanks to this chapter, so that's a good thing? You may be asking where Miette is. I don't know where to put her as of now, so she'll be out for a while. Regarding Calem, he'll still be part of the story. Anyways, I hope you liked this story so far! No negative feedback yet, so that's good. I appreciate all of you to those who review every single chapter as it motivates me to write even more. So with that said, I hope to see you in the next chapter!
