Chapter 21- Good side or bad side… what side am I on?

At the pokemon center:

Alain rushed into the pokemon center that Ash had lead him to, he was hoping Ash told him it was the right one.

"Alain!" Mairon exclaimed as she tackled Alain into a hug. Alain hesitated at first, but then he returned the hug knowing that he cared for Mairon so much.

"How's Chespie?" Alain urgently asked.

"He's over here!" Mairon explained showing Alain into a room where Chespie was in the bed with a green glow. Mairon had been next to Chespie for the last couple of days. She was tired and in tears from the last events.

"Mairon, tell me what happened, how did you get out of Team Draco head quarters? Why did you leave?"

Mairon started to explain everything…

Flashback:

Mairon was in her room at head quarters as always, she was still depressed since Chespie had been taken away. She knew that she would some day leave. She wanted to leave, but she would not until she found the courage to save Chespie and find a way out which was really hard.

That day, Mairon decided go leave the room and scout the area to see what she could find.

After walking for a bit, Mairon found a door to a place that was forbidden to enter. The door had a lock with a pin (4 numbers). "Hey kid, you can't come here!" a grunt shouted at Mairon.

"uhhh, ok," Mairon said and turned the corner, but peeked. After the grunt opened the door with a pin she took note of the numbers through the corner. '7-3-5-9'. Mairon waited until the coast was clear and punched in the numbers to go through the door.

She saw many things that included pictures of a raven haired boy that seemed to be battling with a Lucario against a Lucario. People were trying to study the final move.

"That boy is who we are going to attack, if he wins we will frame him for cheating like we told Alain to decieve him," Lysandre's voice was heard by Mairon who got wide eyed and sprinted and left that part of the forbidden place. 'This is not right' Mairon thought as she ran.

Suddenly, Mairon saw something that made her stop at her tracks. It was a bed and in it was Chespie. It had nothing attached to him and he had a green glow.

Mairon got closer and took Chespie into her arms. Then she darted out the door unnoticed until an alarm went off, but she saw a vent and was able to escape through the vents to the outside of head quarters.

"Chespie, wake up it's me… Chespie?" Mairon started to tear up at the unconscious Chespie and then she sprinted to the pokemon center to get Chespie some medical attention.

"I need to call someone, who can I trust?" Mairon thought.

"so that is what happened Alain, you have to leave them! They are evil they are plotting something after this tournament!" Mairon exclaimed in the end causing Alain to jump in surprise.

"But Ketchum cheated! They told me!" Alain snapped hitting his face in the wall.

"Alain! They said that so you would take your loss as a way to seek revenge and so that you help them in their evil plot!" Mairon snapped back.

Alain was shocked… 'was this true?' Alain hit his fist to the wall and turned to Mairon, "Thank you Mairon, I will take into consideration what you said, in the mean time I have to leave and get ready for tomorrow's match. I will see you later."

"Thank you… Alain," Mairon stated pulling Alain into one last hug that he returned. If he could trust anyone, it was her.

At the hotel room:

"Pika!" Ash's Pikachu exclaimed as he jumped into Ash's shoulder.

"Pikachu!" Serena's Pikachu greeted hopping into Serena's shoulder.

"Jolteon!" Jolteon shouted.

"Sylveon!" Sylveon said with excitement.

"Hey, Pikachu, nice to see you again!" Ash greeted his best friend.

"Haha, you guys keep things living in this room," Dawn stated as she petted Ash's Pikachu. "Ash, your Pikachu is still extremely strong as ever, and Serena's Pikachu looks like it learned from yours Ash!"

"Actually, when I met my Pikachu, it was hurt and found by Ash's Pikachu that helped take care of it, and when we became friends I trained with Ash to get it as strong as it is today!" Serena explained. "Well, Dawn, want to help me make some food?" Serena asked turning to Dawn.

"Sure!" Dawn exclaimed with enthusiasm as the girls ran into the kitchen.

"Haha! While we wait for the food, let's play some call of duty!" Ash shouted.

"You got that right!" Barry exclaimed while grabbing a controller and handing the other to Ash. "Let's kick some butt!"

With the girls in the kitchen:

Serena was cracking some eggs into a bowl, she was going to make some chocolate cake while Dawn was using the stove.

"So… Serena, are you an amourshipper?" Dawn randomly asked.

"Huh? What type of question is that?" Serena replied. She was turning bright red at this point.

"Oh nothing, it is just that he does not seem as dense as he used to," Dawn explained while cooking.

"Hehe, he did mature a bit," Serena replied.

With the boys:

As a couple rounds of the game were finished, Ash and Barry could sense some really good aroma coming from the kitchen.

"Food's ready!" the boys heard Serena's voice calling.

"Barry you better use good manners!" Dawn exclaimed making Barry blush in embarrassment.

"hehe, what kind of relationship do you and Dawn have?" Ash asked in a whisper to Barry.

"None of your business…" Barry replied as both trainers sat down next to each other at the table. The girls then came in with with the food. When the girls served it and sat down across from the boys, the boys startled to gobble the food down.

"Oh boy…" Serena said watching the two boys.

"Serena we have to be on a good appetite or else we won't battle well," Ash replied.

"He's right!" Barry agreed.

"Y'all have not changed one bit!" Dawn said with a ginger smile. "Ash, I see you also started to mature a bit, can you describe what it is like?"

"Off course I can! Thanks to that, I can finally understand why Brock loves Nurse Joy's a lot!" Ash densely explained making Dawn snicker.

"HAHAHAH, wait whoa wait a sec, HAHAHAHA!" Dawn laughed between smile. "Since when did you find nurse joy attractive?"

Ash recalled a memory and legitimately forgot Serena was in front of him listening, "Ever since Serena dressed up as Nurse Joy, I was dazzled by good looking people… You can thank Serena because she's the one that asked me how she lo-..."

Serena had ran to the other room… "Good job Ash you scared her off!" Dawn shouted. "You did not have to embarass her like that!"

"But I was trying to compliment her…" Ash replied as Barry just snickered to stop from laughing and being rude. "I should probably go ta-"

Ash was starting to get up when Serena came into the room… Wearing what you thought she would he wearing: a nurse joy outfit. "So Ash…" Serena blushes slightly, "How do you think I look?"

Barry and Dawn get more surprised at Ash's reaction: "Y-you l-look I mean… you l-look… AMAZING!"

"Whoa Ash, chill bro, she's just dressed up," Barry replied turning to Dawn. "Can I get you one of those? I think I need to see you in a nurse joy outfit to get a man card-... "OWWW!" Barry was just slapped in the head by Dawn.

"Hehe, nice try Barry…" Dawn said with sarcasm.

"MATCHES ARE POSTED!" Night yelled as he opened the door and ran over into the room. "Oh crap, sorry did I ruin a double date? See you later." Night just left and left the four heroes completely stunned.

"I think I will change back now," Serena stated as she went into the other room.

"Uhhhh… k, that just happened… I'M GONNA FINE YOU NIGHT FOR CALLING THIS A DOUBLE DATE!" Barry exclaimed.

"Matches are posted, I wanna see who I am going up against!" Ash exclaimed.

"Dawn, are you still in the tournament?" Serena asked walking into the room.

"No not really, I lost to Paul," Dawn replied.

This statement made Ash go wide eyed… "Paul?"

"Yea, he is stronger now by the way, but he does not abuse pokemon which is amazing!" Barry explained.

"Who is Paul?" Serena asked.

"One of my worst rivals in Sinnoh," Ash started. "We hated each other, we had different philosophies to battle, mine was bond and his was power. He abused his pokemon and never made them happy, I battled him in the league… one of my most intense battles which I won changing him."

"Yea that captures the picture," Barry revealed.

"Wow… that is an amazing story," Serena replied as she turned on the computer to check the matches.

"Ash, I my opponent is Cynthia," Serena revealed which made Barry and Dawn go wide eyed. She was battling another champion.

"Lucky, I have it harder, I am going up against Brandon," Ash explained. "The good thing is that if I play smart I can win! I already know his team!"

"Well I will see you guys tomorrow for your matches!" Barry and Dawn exclaimed as they left the room.

"Ash, are you ok?" Serena asked as she noticed the raven haired strainer started to look zoned out.

"Yea, I know I have to set up this strategy well," Ash explained to the honey blond. "I am going to go to sleep."

"Right ahead of you guys!" Night exclaimsd as he walked in. "Hey Jolteon, nice to see you again!" Night petted his partner.

"Pika!" Pikachu said as he went into his friend's shoulder.

"Hey Pikachu, we are up against Brandon, you ready?" Ash replied.

"Pika!" Pikachu responded. Serena stared as her friends went to sleep. They were not going to lose and neither was she!
