Recap from last time:
"Oh…" Damian smirked while looking at Ash and Pikachu. "It is that weak trainer with that stupid Charmander."
"Now you are open to an attack, ice punch!" Beartic swiftly navigated the ice and hit Sceptile with a devastating cold punch to the stomach that knocked the tree frog against the wall behind Ash who only had enough time to look back and see the smoke clearing from a clear dent in the wall and a unconscious Sceptile.
"Sceptile is unable to battle, Beartic wins!" the ref shouted.
"Ice punch!"
"Aboma.. SNOW!" Abomasnow shouted while throwing his fist at the soundwave dragon who then crashed into the wall behind Ash. Noivern did not get up after that.
"Noivern is unable to battle, Abomasnow wins!" the ref declared.
"Frogadier!" Ash shouted as he saw his pokemon hit the wall. Suddenly, Ash's body arched back in pain and fell back into a sitting position in the trainer's box.
"Frogadier is unable to battle so the win goes to Wulfric. The gym leader!" the ref declared.
"Ash, until you are able to trust and rely on your pokemon despite your emotional and spiritual state, you can't win and therefore, I cannot give you a badge."
Serena gripped her ribbon as she saw Ash walk into the darkness of the night and clenched it harder when the door closed and she lost sight of Ash. "Ash," Serena said to herself.
The night was silent from there on out.
A/N: OK guys… I have some explaining to do… I don't know what happened to me, but this is the turning point in the entire story when it comes to the quality of my writing. This is definitely probably the very first chapter that I have written in this much detail and the quality of my writing after this chapter… You will have to see it for yourself to believe it lol!
I hope you liked the recap of the last chapter. This is going to hopefully be one of the most influential chapters in the story. It is a little like XYZ 28, but it has its differences and definitely will probably be more meaningful.
Personally, I feel like if the anime went this route it would have been so much cooler, but the way XYZ 28 was handled in the anime was very inspiring and well done so that is why I am trying to improve upon it.
Again, it will not be perfect, but I will try my best.
I hope you enjoy this chapter :).
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or the song I used ;)
Disclaimer 2 please read: Violence in words and actions, there may not be blood, but it will BE intense and possibly worse than chapter 13 (This is not much of a spoiler, you can already tell this is inevitable). There is also a lot of POV changing.
Chapter 21- Love is Key to Find an Answer Under the Snowy Pines
That night at the pokemon center:
Frogadier could not rest. His trainer's words kept bouncing up and about in his head. 'I Promised we would have become stronger' they said. Frogadier thought about it. What makes something stronger?
"It is love," Olympia's words echoed through Frogadier's mind. Frogadier got up from his bed feeling a little sore from the battle the day prior, but he walked out of the room trying not to make a sound. As soon as he was halfway across the hallway to the door, he noticed a faint blue color flowing from a backpack… Serena's backpack. Frogadier looked and saw that Serena in the corner of the room curled up into a ball and staring out the window while gripping her ribbon. Frogadier made his way to her bag and noticed a disk shaped object begin to glow harder and Frogadier reached for it.
Suddenly, the disk turned to dust and the glowing dust went into Frogadier and made Frogadier's body glow. The glowing then died down and Frogadier looked back at Serena. Serena still was staring out the window like if nothing had happened.
With that, Serena just felt the door and the breeze from outside come in and send a chill up her spine. When she looked back, she saw nothing but the door to the outside shut closed, something that she did not pay attention to since she was too focused on Ash.
Outside in the pines of the forest:
The female Pichu looked down from her tree and noticed that there was a boy sitting in a log. The log was in the middle of the clearing and the night sky was overshadowing this boy. Pichu then blinked as she could have sworn that she saw the boy be replaced with what looked like a Pikachu. Pichu blinked again and then it was the boy again.
"Pichu…" Pichu sighed as she entered her tree again only to notice that there was no more berries left for the rest of the winter. Pichu sighed at that as she looked outwards and into the forest. She knew at that moment that she would not be able to make it alone, she needs someone to help her do something other than just hibernating in the tree.
"CHU PI!" Pichu cried as she jumped from her tree without looking back and hitting the snow below with ease. Pichu then looked forward and began to walk into the forest… In search of someone to be her companion.
The next morning:
"Frogadier too?" Brock asked worryingly as he spoke to Clemont.
Clemont nodded, "Yes, Nurse Joy told me this morning." At that very moment, Bonnie came into the room.
"Hey, where is Ash?" Bonnie asked her brother who was cooking with Brock.
Clemont just sighed and said, "He'll be back don't worry…"
Brock then decided to help, "He will get hungry and come back, don't worry!"
"Pikachu…" Pikachu sighed sadly.
Meanwhile, outside the pokemon center Serena was sitting in a bench completely torn apart over Ash.
Serena POV:
He's not acting like the Ash I know, the Ash I admire, the Ash I adore… the Ash I lo-... ARRGH! What do I do? Can I do anything? What is the way to find this answer?! I look into the forest that have Ash's footsteps. I have to go for him… I need to… my legs start pounding on the snow as I propel myself into the pine forest in front of me…
All I need to do is get to Ash.
Ash POV:
I have been walking around this log for hours now. Ugh, I am so tired I am just sitting here. Strength… If I just had strength. Why am I like this when it comes to strength, why am I the only person that deals with this.
With Frogadier on top of a tree:
Frogadier was looking at his webbed hands with sadness remembering all his battles since Olympia… a big amount of pure losses. Frogadier was the only pokemon to have not evolved fully, was he even strong any more? Frogadier kept questioning his own strength at this point. Frogadier then slammed his webbed arm into the tree he was on and snow fell on top of his head which he picked up and threw out.
Ash POV (this next part is violent so discretion is advised):
What is the answer to this? I need to… no, that won't work. Why do I always have to be the-
"Ash!" a familiar voice enters my ears. I look up and see Serena standing there with a her hand in her blue ribbon. She has her jacket on so at least I did not have to worry about her freezing to death.
I open my mouth and speak to her while holding my cap, "Sorry, I should not have made you worry…" I then looked back down at my feet shadowing my eyes.
Serena POV:
"Ash, you know that if you have a problem you can tell me right?" I tell Ash with my arms out.
At the same time snow started falling around me and Ash, but I ignore it since I am trying to help my crush who is sitting on a log helplessly.
"..."
No response.
"Ash, come on, I know you can tell someone, I am here for you one hundred percent any time, anywhere," I explain from his first response of silence.
"..." Ash is still silent so I figure I have to keep talking.
"You know, once I really goofed up and I-"
"Why should you care about my problems!?" Ash snaps at me while standing up and pumping his fist out at me in an aggressive stance.
"Because… JUST TELL ME ABOUT IT!" I snap back as I feel like daggers have pierced my heart a million times. The snow gets harder and visibility starts to worsen for me. At the same time, my fists clench to the point that my nails are starting to penetrate my skin, which does not hurt me at all since I am intoxicated with adrenaline.
Ash POV:
"Just… leave!... ME… ALONE!" I venomously shout in intervals so Serena can understand what I want.
"What happened to never givi-"
Never give up until the end… Never give up until the end… CAN SHE STOP REPEATING TO ME THE SAME STUPID SH*T I COME UP WITH? "Why should I care about that stupid proverb!? Why do you value such a pathetic saying I made up? Just leave me BE!" I exclaim on instinct and turn my body with my back facing the person that is causing my irritation.
I feel a snowball hit the back of my head like an iron ball. I rub the back of my head of the pain and look back at Serena with gritted teeth. What does she want this time?
"The Ash I know would never give up until the end… Ash stop thinking that way before you do give up!" Serena retaliates back at me warning me. At this point I could barely see her face due to the falling snow, but I had to keep fighting my point of view. I suck that is what I do, Serena just has to admit it.
"YOU'RE wrong!" I shout back. "I don't care what you think of me, i'm just some other stupid trainer to you and everyone else!" That statement came out of stupidity and even I knew that, but the thing is that I don't want to be seen as a winner when I clearly lose. I'm weak gosh dang it!
I don't care what Serena thinks, in no universe would she make me feel any better than I am ri-. I feel another snowball hit me and I could have sworn there was a rock in that snow ball since I felt like something had hit my head harder than usual snow.
I turned around and the next thing I heard was something beyond my comprehension.
Serena POV:
Out of rage, I kneel down and grab some snow not caring that I also scooped up a rock, form it into a ball and chuck it at Ash's head in an attempt to gain his attention.
I am just going to have to admit a huge secret of mine in order to knock some sense into him.
The snow around us is falling harder and harder, every time I see Ash he is starting to fade from my field of vision, but I had to stay strong. No doubt that at this point Ash and I were in a blizzard.
Here goes, my only chance of getting my Ash back...
Knowing it would be painful to me, I opened my mouth and began to expel all of my bottled up emotions from the past and present.
"My father gave up on my mother and me when I was little, I wanted to be able to love someone that I would know would never give up on me… I found that person and he stole my heart…" I say in a calmer voice since my throat started to hurt from the yelling. At the same time, tears streaked down my cheeks. I walk up to Ash and give him a firm slap on the face, one that made my right hand burn with pain, but also caused Ash to grab his cheek in pain and grit his teeth… I just wanted to squash Ash right then and there, but I knew I had not power to do that… "Ash, your father may not love you like mine doesn't love my mother and me... but someone else loves you more than anyone could in many different unexplainable ways…" Ash looks at me confused, but I know what I have to say even if I can't thoroughly admit it without nervousness, still, I felt like I could say anything. "AND I AM THAT… THAT!" The pain turns out to be too much for me to admit my feelings and because of this I throw a snowball and hit Ash in the head thus knocking his over the log in pain. My voice was raspy and my throat burned from all of the yelling, but I had to keep going. "GIVE ME BACK THE ASH THAT STOLE MY HEA-… ARGH!" I run into the blizzard with tears streaking down my cheeks. I just want to run and escape reality… The snow keeps falling on me and I can't see anything, I was sure I was lost.
I just want to run away from the snowy inferno of pain that I am experiencing.
Ash POV:
I am lying on the ground looking up as the snow hits my face. I was still processing the words that Serena gave me. What did she mean by all this? It seems to be impossible to understand. I sigh, what am I supposed to do now? I guess I should just get up and… not give up? Why am I following the proverb I just bashed on…
Why did I bash on her? She didn't deserve this violent behavior. I see nothing in front of me, only snow covering my view.
What is wrong with me? Why am I this way? What should I do?
I think I should keep moving forward.
Bet on it- Nightcore (lyrics changed for sake of fanfic)
I run into the snow not thinking twice as I start to mouth the words to a song I listen to a lot to remind me to never give up, "Everybody's always talking at me, everybody's trying to get in my head…
I wanna listen to my own father talking, but he just betrayed myself instead."
I run up to a hill to try and try to see the most that I can, but I can't see anything… but I CANNOT give up now!
"Did you ever, never get the things that you want?
Did you ever, get on a ride and then want to get off?"
I see a flashback of Serena's snowballs and slap. The pain that stroke me from those hard thrown snowballs and that hard felt slap I experienced that still stings, even right now.
"Did you ever, hurt the ones you should have held close? Did you ever let go? did ever back down?"
I narrow my eyes as I see the snow getting harder and harder around me. I have to run through, I have to find an answer. So I ran through with my vision white through the snow. The wind was strong and my blue scarf kept waving in the wind.
"I'm not gonna stop, that is the way, to give it all I got, that is my plan, 'till I find what I lost, you, no you can
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it"
I find a cave through the snow and walk inside. I feel the cold air from the outside hit my jacket and I reach for Charizard's poke-... I left my pokemon at the pokemon center. What is wrong with me?
I look down at my hands and curl them into a fist. I won't give up now…
"I'm not gonna stop, not gonna stop 'till I break my losing streak.
That's who I am, that is the plan, now I've got to fight.
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, yea.
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it."
I look out into the mouth of the cave and see nothing but a bunch of snow falling down. "It truly is bad out there," I say to myself.
With the gang at the pokemon center:
"Bonnie where are you going?" Clemont shouts as he runs to his sister that is trying to walk into a snowstorm.
Bonnie turns around and faces Brock and Clemont, "I am going to drag Serena and Ash back here, it is too dangerous!"
"Wait, but Bonn-"
"PIKA PI PIKACHU!" Pikachu gets on Bonnie's shoulders and smirks. Pikachu takes out his fist and pumps it to Bonnie to which she smiles. Bonnie took this as the sign and rushes into the blizzard leaving Brock and Clemont in shock.
"Quick grab the backpack!" Brock exclaims as he runs towards his bag. "I have the first aid kit!"
"Right!" Clemont replied while gritting his teeth in worry for his sister. After the duo pack up their belongings to go into harsh weather, the two look at each other and nod while rushing into the blizzard after Bonnie, of course Clemont lagging a little behind making his best effort to find Pikachu and his sister.
With Frogadier (Frogadier POV):
I jumped down from the tree I was on and tried to look forward through the snow. Dang it I have to find Ash… I begin to walk and try to shield myself from the heavy snow and wind that is attempting to blow me away. I am taking small steps forward and I am about to fight the wind and put my foot into the snow again-
"Ninja…" a voice enters my ears and I turn around to see a shining figure… it looked like an apparition since I could see through it. Looking closely, I noticed It looked similar to a Greninja which I recognized from being the evolution of my own species, but it had a large shuriken on its back and some red fins around the facial area, something that intrigued me. The Greninja stuck its webbed hand out and pointed in a certain direction. "Ninja Greninja."
Ash.
"Froga," I reply as I look over to where I am supposed to run. I turn back to the apparition and say, "Frogadier, froga," and bow in respect.
"Ninja," the Greninja smiled under its tongue scarf and walked up to me. The Greninja then put his hand on my chest and turned into bunch of dust. This bright blue glowing dust floated into my chest and made me glow. Suddenly, when everything was absorbed, I felt powerful and strong, like I could do anything with Ash by my side.
I run to the direction I was pointed at and out of the corner of my eye I see a Bidoof about to be squashed by an incoming branch that fell out of one of the trees.
I run up to the falling branch and jump to meet it head on while making a kunai blade that sliced through the branch and protected the Bidoof…
That was when I looked down at my hands and see a dark blue kunai blade… watery yet dark… What is this?
I decided to ignore it and run after Ash.
With Serena:
Serena kept running until her legs gave out and she fell in her knees. It was not physical pain that was killing her, but emotional pain. Serena had ran for some time and had not seen anything significant, only snow. Suddenly, as Serena tried to catch her breath through her running nose because of all the weeping, the snow started to cover up the snow fell at a less powerful pace with the wind, enough for her to see. Suddenly, she looked over to her side and saw a cave. She knew she had to go in there and provide shelter so she walked in...
Only to regret her decision.
Ash looked at Serena enter the cave and shadowed his face in regret. Serena flinched a little in seeing Ash there, but Serena was still holding a grudge.
Ash noticed Serena shiver and opened up his mouth as if to ask if she was cold, but he could not bring himself to move his vocal cords. Ash never felt this much regret before and it was obvious that he wanted to make up for it. Serena sat across from Ash while looking down with her oceanic blue eyes glistening and watery. Ash could not have ever thought of a more beautiful sight than Serena's eyes, but the fact that there was sadness in them killed his heart.
Because he knew he only had himself to blame.
Ash then looked to his left and saw a couple of Caterpie, Zigzagoon, Scatterbug and a lone Pichu. They were extremely cold out in the weather even though it had stopped snowing. Ash then got up towards the mouth of the cave and yelled while signaling the pokemon to come in, "Guys come on! You will be warm here!" Ash then flinched at feeling déjà vu.
Flashback:
"Come on guys, it is warm here!" Ash shouted from a sheltered tree stump. The pokemon ran to Ash's lap and rested there with him as a rainstorm passed.
End Flashback:
Ash recoiled with his mouth opening in awe and his auburn eyes glistening at the memory.
Through a side view of Serena's face, Serena is still looking down at the floor with her fedora shading her eyes, but a small blush and a small smile smile appear after listening to Ash.
"Pichu Pi?" A Pichu that had come into the cave went up to Serena while the others went to Ash. Serena was confused as to why a Pichu was rubbing her leg, but it made her feel connected to the Pichu. She picked up Pichu and put what seemed to be a female Pichu up to her arms. The Pichu rubbed her cheeks against Serena's and Serena smiled as she felt the electricity that came from it.
"You know," a voice finally breaks the silence between the two trainers. "I had an experience similar to this in Pallet Town." Serena looked at Ash who was embracing some pokemon in his lap. "When I went into the forest near Pallet Town I would get totally lost and then I would invite pokemon to the cave where I sheltered myself."
Serena once again shadowed her eyes and smiled. It was nice to be able to embrace pokemon at times of sadness. Even though Serena thought she could make up with Ash right then and now she did not know how to.
"Bedew!" a number of voices echoed throughout the forest and entered Ash and Serena's ears. Ash and Serena gently put the pokemon they were with down and went to check out what the problem was. From the mouth of the cave we saw a Weavile trying to attack some Bedew, four to be exact. The Bedew were trying to shield each other from the incoming night slash.
Ash reacted fast as he went to put himself in the way of the Bedew to shield the attack, but a blue blur passed through Ash's eyes that prevented the attack from coming.
Serena also went out to help.
With the group looking for the trainers:
"Ash where are you?!" Brock shouted.
"Ash, Serena!" Bonnie exclaimed.
Clemont had his Luxray out and turned to him, "Luxray can you sense them?" Luxray made his eyes glow white and looked around the area in search of Ash and Serena, but his eyes did not return anything. Luxray looked at Clemont and shook its head signaling they are not here.
"Maybe they are somewhere else- wait! Look, footprints!" Bonnie shouted.
Pikachu got straight to work and jumped from Bonnie's shoulder. Pikachu then went up to the footprints and sniffed them instantly recognizing the smell. "PIKAPI!" Pikachu shouted and started following the footsteps. The others went after Pikachu at the same time.
With Ash and Serena:
"Frogadier!" Ash shouted as he looked at the blue bipedal frog using a dark blue blade to interact with the purple one from Weavile. The Weavile recoiled back and grew angered. This caused the Weavile to left out a battle cry that caused two more Weavile to appear. "No way…" Ash then took out his pokedex and scanned Frogadier and this was new on there:
Aqua Blade:
Base power 100
Typing: Water/Dark
"Awesome a new move!" Ash exclaimed as Frogadier looked back at Ash and smirked.
Serena grabbed the Bedews and brought them inside the cave, "Stay here, where you will be safe." Pichu looked at Serena with awe and as soon as Serena went out to help Ash, Pichu went after her.
"Double team!" Ash exclaimed as the Weavile charged up three separate ice beams. Frogadier split into many versions of itself and prevented the ice beams from making contact. "Now use water pulse!" Frogadier charged up a sphere of water sphere and hit one of the Weavile that instantly fled from the intensity of the attack. Then, a Weavile came at Frogadier with a night slash and Ash goes for another move being completely in synch with Frogadier, "Use aqua blade!" Serena instantly grew wide eyed remembering what Sampei said. The blades interacted, but the dark blue one dominated and caused the second Weavile to get hit back and run away. The last one came for Ash the same way and Ash commanded another aqua blade to which Frogadier went for only that this time the Weavile charged up an ice beam and fired it at the same time. The ice beam though, was not aimed at Frogadier.
Serena watched as the attack was headed straight for Ash and then saw Pichu jump in front of her and snipe a thundershock to counter the ice beam. The ice beam overpowered though and caused the Pichu to be hit backwards and Serena watched in horror. "PICHU!" she shouted and ran to the falling Pichu and grabbed Pichu in her arms in mid air and front flipped to protect herself from the fall.
The Weavile fled, but the danger was not over. Serena landed in the edge of a cliff with Pichu in her arms. Suddenly, there a loud crack heard and the snow beneath Serena gave way. "AHHH ASH!" Serena shouted.
"SERENA!"
"FROGA!"
Ash and Frogadier both are in shock as they see Serena start to fall down the edge of the cliff with Pichu. The duo quickly run to the edge of the cliff and what happened next made the necessary push to a perfect synchronization.
Ash POV:
"Frogadier, I want to save her," I say in my mind.
"Froga," I hear as Frogadier jumps off the cliff and my eyes start to see through Frogadier's eyes as I see Serena falling with Pichu.
"Dodge right quick! Then grab Serena and decrease your speed!" I command and Frogadier makes a sharp right to avoid any rocks that were in the way. I feel the G-force as I fall and the stress and adrenaline governing my motivation to save Serena. Then Frogadier and I put our hands out, about to grab Serena... when I see that I feel powerful and connected with Frogadier. At the second Frogadier is about to touch Serena, I see the extended blue webbed limbs glow white.
Serena POV:
I was hanging on to Pichu with my eyes closed until I felt a pair of arms comfort me from the G-force I am experiencing. Through my closed eyelids I saw a bright light overcome my black vision of my eye lids…
Then it was over, the light was gone and I felt the pair of arms put me down on the ground safely. I slowly open my eyes to make sure I am alive, but I am greeted with a pokemon. It was larger than Frogadier, but had a tongue scarf… a blue one, and it also had red fins in its head as well as a large shuriken on his back. Instantly, I recognized this pokemon as…
"Ash-Greninja," I say to myself as I see the bipedal pokemon return to a normal Greninja.
The pokemon looks at me and Pichu and says, "Ninja…"
"SERENA!" I hear a voice next to me urgently, it was Ash who had gotten down from the cliff to check on me. Ash instantly embraced me in a hug. "Thank goodness you are ok," Ash told me as I felt heat rise up to my cheeks.
"Wait, that was, it was the legend! The famous Greninja!" I exclaimed in shock still processing the fact of the transforming Greninja.
"What legend?" Ash asks me while still hugging me.
Just ignore the fact you just saw Ash-Greninja.
I just could not help but smile, "Welcome back Ash."
Welcome back person that stole my heart.
Normal POV:
Ash broke the embrace and looked around, "Where is Frogadier?" Ash asked.
Ash then felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to find bipedal blue frog with a scarf like tongue. Ash then knew what happened when he saw his limb glow white in the weird point of view change. "Greninja…" Ash said in awe looking at his newly evolved powerful pokemon. "Look, I know I made you worry and I am sorry." Greninja and Ash then stick out their hands and have a high five.
"HEY! We have been looking all over for you guys!" Bonnie exclaimed while running with Brock.
"PIKAPI!" Pikachu shouted as he ran up Ash's shoulder.
"Finally," Clemont said as he caught up with the group. "Wait, no way! Did Frogadier!"
"It evolved!" Brock exclaimed in awe looking at the stronger frog in front of him.
"Yea, at the best moment too," Ash explained thinking about the recent events.
"Ninja," Greninja interrupted everyone as he pulled out an aqua blade kunai and held it in front of Ash's face. Everyone watched curiously as Ash looked at the dark blue blade in front of him with glistening eyes.
Ash then had a flashback to when he first caught Greninja as a Froakie in Lumiose City. Ash then spoke up as he grabbed the aqua blade with Greninja, "Greninja, I am sorry I was confused about our power, now I believe we can do this… Let's take on this challenge together."
Greninja returned the blade and hugged Ash. A touching and heartwarming scene for the group, more specifically Serena.
Serena then smiled, "We should head back!" the others nodded and then Serena felt a tug on her jacket. It was Pichu and Serena understood all too well what it meant. "Pichu, you want to come along with me?" Serena asked as she held out a pokeball.
"PICHU!" Pichu smiled happily and entered the pokeball which instantly got captured.
"Wow, it is so cute!" Bonnie shouted.
"The family truly is growing," Brock replied as the group started walking back to the pokemon center.
Ash and Greninja were walking with confidence… The would reach this together thanks to everyone that supported them, specially Serena.
"Pika?" Pikachu asked himself as he just saw Serena capture Pichu. Pikachu felt like that Pichu was familiar.
Flashback:
"Pikachu pi pikachu!" a male Pikachu said to a female Pichu that the male Pikachu saved from team Flare grunts.
The female Pichu thanked the male Pikachu and with a slight blush gave the male Pikachu a comforting thundershock making the male Pikachu blush. The female Pichu then ran off leaving the other alone.
End Flashback:
Pikachu recoiled… it was the same Pichu.
Pikachu was a bit relieved that Pichu had not recognized him… yet.
A/N: Alright boys, I am ready and I mean ready for the Ash vs Wulfric rematch.
What did you guys think?
I know, I had to add the Pikamourshipping in the end. This will probably be so adorable between the two. Also, if you are asking why I am shipping a Pichu with a Pikachu… you just wait.
Remember to R & R and I hope to see you guys next time!
