62. The Return of Burst Pink


Vermilion City

In Vermilion City, the heroes arrived and they saw Goh, Chloe and Serena injured.

"Goh! Chloe!" Dawn said and she, Gwen, Kevin and Rook ran to Goh and Chloe.

Ash saw Serena and Delphox bloodied and defeated.

"Serena!" Ash shouted.

"Oh no!" Bonnie said as she and other heroes ran to Serena.

"Serena! Wake up!" Ash tries to wake Serena many times but, no avail.

"Is she..." Bonnie said as she cried, hugging her brother Clemont and he comforts her crying sister.

"No... It can't be..." Ben said in shock.

"Tell me, who made a mess?!" Ash asked Goh and Chloe in rage.

"Team Rocket." Goh said in weak voice.

"They have their own Burst Hearts and defeated us." Chloe said.

Ash embraced Serena's bloodied body close to him.

Dojo

In the dojo, Serena is in healing process by the ninjas using the green aura.

"Will Serena be okay?" Ash asked.

"She'll be okay." Aaron said.

"But I have one question, where did Team Rocket got their own Burst Hearts?" Goh asked.

"Yes but we don't know exactly. All I know about the Burst Hearts that Team Rocket possess are the Corrupted Burst Hearts." Azar said.

"Corrupted Burst Hearts?" Clemont asked.

45 years ago (Azar's narration)

"45 years ago... Vitomir has created two Burst Hearts which were violet and magenta ones but when, the two men, greed with power, stole them and you know what happened?

They gone berserk due to the dark energy which the evil feelings the two people developed...

I and my Burst Warriors defeated them and we sealed them away... That's why we call them... the Corrupted Burst Hearts."

Present day

"Sealed away?" Goh asked.

"That's why... powerful but, negative." Clemont said.

"We gotta find Team Rocket and destroy their Burst Hearts! I won't forgive for they've done with Serena!" Ash said, clenching his fists in anger.

"I don't get it. You seem worried about Serena." Kevin said. "Do you like Serena?"

"No! I was just worried about her welfare." Ash said as his cheeks turned red.

"Then why you look at Serena all the time?" Chloe asked.

"Tch! I'm just leaving! Goh, come with me." Ash said and he and Goh went outside.

Outside of the dojo, Ash and Goh were walking.

"Ash, why do we storm out of the dojo?" Goh asked.

"Just to share my feelings." Ash said.

"What feelings?" Goh asked.

"Y'know, I have... feelings for... Serena." Ash said.

"I knew it! Ash likes Serena!" Goh said, loudly.

"Okay, shut up, Red! Not to loud!" Ash said.

"Sorry, and Ash, not use bad language." Goh said. "Well, when did you developed your feelings for that girl?"

"Long story, my friend. When I finished my Kalos journey, Serena kissed me on the lips..." Ash said as his face turned red.

"AAAHHH! Congratulations!" Goh said as he embraced Ash.

"Remember how Chloe kissed you?" Ash asked with a smirk.

Goh blushed.

"Yeah, I admit! I admit!" Goh said. "I had crush... on Chloe."

"I have a crush on Serena. Looks like we are having girlfriends." Ash said and the two laughed.

Suddenly, Ash and Goh heard the people screaming as the Team Rocket in the Burst Forms of Mimikyu and Bewear, wreaking havoc.

"What's that?" Ash asked.

"Team Rocket!" Goh said. "Ash, call everyone!"

"Okay!" Ash said as he took out Rotom Acellular and calls his friends to get over here.

The heroes (excluding Serena) arrived and confronts Team Rocket.

"Team Rocket up to no good!" Clemont said.

"We must stop them before it's too late! It's Burstin' Time!" Chloe said.

"Burst!" Ash, Goh, Chloe, Dawn and Clemont used Burst to combine with Pikachu, Cinderace, Boltund, Lopunny and Quilladin.

Then, they fight off Team Rocket.

In the dojo, Serena had a strange dream.

"You're weak, girl!" The boy bullied little Serena, making her cry.

Serena woke up in worry.

"Are you okay?" Ilma asked as she came in.

"I'm okay but..." Serena said and she gives her Burst Heart to Ilma. "I'm weak to be Burst Warrior!"

"What is it? Tell me your problem." Ilma said.

"I think James was right. I'm weak to save Sylveon. I'm weak in understanding feelings and I'm weak of... being a Burst Warrior!" Serena said as she sobbed.

"No, Serena. You are strong!" Ilma encouraged Serena. "I know you've failed to use Burst with Sylveon, being beaten by Team Rocket and failed to save Sylveon. But does not mean that you are weak!"

"Huh?" Serena wept her tears of sorrow.

"It also happened to me. Before my life as a Burst Warrior, I was unable to beat Aaron and Azar. I maybe weak but I didn't gave up. I was able to defeat Aaron and Azar with my courage and heart." Ilma said.

"You're like me, I was teased by the boy when I was young, calling me 'weak'." Serena said.

"Don't let the words weaken your mind, Serena. You are really strong... in feelings, strength and as a Pink Burst Warrior. Your shared love is not gone! Rise up, Burst Pink!" Ilma said with the words of courage, making Serena shedding her despondent attitude as she stood up.

Meanwhile, the heroes were having a tough fight with Team Rocket.

And, they were beaten with ease.

"You all are weak. We are strong and we will crush you like pancakes! Hahaha!" Jessie said.

"Time to say goodbye..." James said and uses Vacuum Wave against the heroes.

But then, the attack is blocked by Serena having Delphox to use to Light Screen around the heroes to protect them from the attack.

"Serena?!" Swampfire asked.

"You have to run! They are strong!" Goh said.

"I'm not going to run anyway because I'm going to make Team Rocket pay for kidnapping my Sylveon." Serena said and she turns to Team Rocket. "Team Rocket, give me my Sylveon back!"

"A weak girl again?" James asked.

"Hahaha! You can't save your Sylveon! I have it!" Meowth said as he had Sylveon in the cage.

"Oh yeah?! I'll show you!" Serena said and takes out her Burst Heart and holds it.

"Capture!" Serena's Burst Heart emitted the pink light at Sylveon.

"What is she doing?!" Meowth asked.

"Whatever." James said.

"Die!" Jessie uses Shadow Ball at Serena and caused explosion.

"Serena!" The heroes shouted.

"She is gone!" Jessie said and the Team Rocket laughed.

As the smoke is cleared, Serena is revealed to be okay and changed into a Burst Form of Sylveon.

Serena's body and clothes became white with her hands gained pink gloves and boots turned pink, she has a mask that resemble Sylveon with blue coverings, she grew Sylveon ears and tail with two bows on her body: one at the base of her left ear and one on her neck and finally, she gained a pair of ribbon-like feelers from the bows.

The heroes and Team Rocket were shocked to see Serena changed in the Burst Form of Sylveon.

"No way!" Ash said.

"Serena used Burst without combining Sylveon?!" Swampfire asked.

"How's that possible?!" James said.

"She just used Burst without combining?!" Jessie asked.

"Intertwining Sylveon! Burst Pink!" Serena said as the pink explosion occurred from behind.

"I'm mad with that Serena!" Jessie said. "Attack!"

Jessie and James ran to attack Serena.

"Blossoming Palms!" Serena's palms were enveloped with blue energy, rushing towards Team Rocket and touches them on their Burst Hearts, causing an explosion.

Serena's attack resulted the destruction of Team Rocket's Burst Hearts, separating Jessie and James from Mimikyu and Bewear.

"No! Our Burst Hearts!" James shouted.

"Run away or else..." Serena warned and Team Rocket fled along with Meowth and their Pokémon, leaving captive Sylveon behind.

Serena opens the cage and frees Sylveon before it gives her a hug.

"Sylveon! I'm glad you're back!" Serena said. "I feel you're not scared of being combined anymore."

Sylveon happily cried out.

"Alright!" Goh said as the heroes went to Serena.

"You've simply transformed into Sylveon Burst Form with Burst?" Gwen said.

"How did you that?" Ash asked.

"Well, Ilma taught me to use Capture." Serena said. "'Capture' which you can obtain the Burst forms of Pokémon without the need to fuse with them beforehand, in the event that a Pokémon is unwilling to Burst with you."

"No way!" Ben said.

"Burst Hearts have this kind of feature?" Chloe said. "I never knew that..."

"Serena, you look cute." Ash said.

"Aww... Thank you, Ash." Serena said as she blushed.

Kevin's stomach started to growl.

"I'm very hungry!" Kevin said.

"Yeah, after a long fight." Ash said and the heroes laughed.
