Pokémon Journey: Kalos Quest

Hey guys Paradox here and welcome to Chapter 71 and Chapter 28 of the Kalos Quest. This chapter is gonna be different but simple to understand. This will be an OC chapter which means it isn't part of the original anime timetable. Should have a fair amount of words in it but I can't give an exact amount since...well the reason being OC of course. The main purpose of this Chapter is primarily to introduce some of Ash's old Pokémon,get some training done with everyone so it isn't just Ash being the focus here.

Other then that,expect some surprises in this and enjoy the chapters.

P.S: don't kill me on what Pokémon come out in this chapter. Everyone will have a turn eventually.

Chapter 71: Reconciliation

Three days passed since the gang bid Frank and Jean farewell and left Frank's Pikachu estate. Since leaving,the group was told that Frank would have an independent production company so the world could watch his movie. They all hope for the best as they finally parted.

Since then for three days the gang has been on the road walking to Anistar City for Ash's seventh Gym Badge. Every day was waking up,travel,lunch followed by training and the next back on the road until nightfall where then they made Camp for the night. Finally at night on the third day where they finally reached a local Pokémon Center to rest for the night.


The next morning

Out on the battlefield was mid morning as Rene and Serena practiced abit on for Serena's next Showcase while Clemont was tinkering for Serena's Feebas while Bonnie helped him to make sure he didn't blow this one up. (No pun intended)

Drake was on the another part of the field meditating with Sara's Uchigatana in his hands like a monk,sitting criss cross with the sword at an even balance in his hands. He was busy focusing his Aura searching for answers and he hope there was more to this other than the message from Sara...how in the heck Sara managed to send him a message from the beyond much less her sword was so beyond him..."I have faith in my Aura but what else is there?...could there be more to this other then what Sir Aaron told me?" Drake wondered until he disgruntled...he was completely clueless.

"So with the next twirl followed by the sidestep. Braxien and Pancham could do a front flip overhead with Braxien could make this ball of fire with us inside it?" Serena asked. "It's goes like a treat,Palermo hated that idea,but this trick earned me my third and final Princess Key." Rene said. "Did you always have a thing for defiance?" Serena asked. "All Aura Guardians do. But Palermo always said that first rule a performer should follow is Learn Independence which is practically only trusting you and your judgement. I'm sure that's one of the reasons why she wants you away from Ash." Rene said. "Well I wouldn't come this far without him and I wouldn't dare leave him." Serena said.

"Guys I've done it. Check it out." Clemont came over to Serena and Rene show him his latest invention. It was a cross between a pool and an aquarium that was size of a circular pool in someone's backyard. It was black and blue in color with yellow thunderbolts for decoration. The pool looked around six feet deep and had plenty of space for water Pokémon to swim in. (If you're wondering how he's gonna carry that from now on. Well just like the steam engine Clemont calls an oven from the show. That's anime logic.)

"I call it the Water Aquarium Pool For Water Type Pokémon." Clemont said a description rather then a name. "I prefer to call it the Aquatic Marine." Rene said. "Excellent name Rene. See Clemont told you that name you had was too long." Bonnie said. "Regardless Clemont,this looks wonderful." Serena said as she then released Feebas into the pool where it swam around finally for the first time in a while.

"Yup,It's comes with a builder in heater to keep the water at a reasonable temperature. The pools spand at 10 feet in diameter,and along with the heater is also a build in filler to keep the water clean." Clemont explained. "Great Clemont. Now I could get started with Feebas's training." Serena said.

"Alright guys,I'm bac-woah!" Ash ran out the back out only to see the new pool set up. "Wow Science is so amazing." Ash said as Pikachu sat on his shoulder agreed as well. "Yep and it's all thanks to Boy Genius here." Rene patted Clemont on the back. "Okay,so I finally got some of my old Pokémon from Professor Oak. Ready to meet them?" Ash asked. "Wait where's Drake?" Ash stopped and asked. "Over there still meditating." Serena pointed to him across the battlefield.

"He's been like that for like two hours now." Rene said. "That's pretty normal for him." Ash said. "It's... normal but only for us and you think he would finally give it a rest. It's not like he'll find what he'll seek by just doing that." Rene said. "I'm sure he's fine Rene." Said Clemont. "He's been doing nothing but meditating on his free time for three days." Rene argued.

"you think he's wasting his time?" Ash asked. "No...I think he should enjoy the time we have now." Rene said. "You guys know I can hear right. Even from across the field." Drake said. "Nice pool Clemont. We can swim in that right?" Drake asked. "We could,but this pool's primarily use to water Pokémon." Clemont said. "Can't hurt to ask." Drake said.

"Well Ash,who you switch out?" Drake asked. "Everyone expected Pikachu. I already explained to Professor Oak on my plan to switching out my Pokémon and I told him and my Kalos Team to always keep training at the lab,learn from the experience and all. I hope they'll be alright." Ash said. "Don't worry Ash. I'm sure they'll enjoy themselves with a nice game of football with the others." Drake laughed abit.

"I still can't believe they could do that." Ash laughed when Drake told him the news of that day. "Well Ash. Let's see them." Rene jumped in.

Ash nodded and released all five Pokémon out at once. First was a large blue bug Pokémon with a large horn sticking out,Herracross. Next was a grey Pokémon with a long barb tail and bat like features,Gliscor. Then there was an ape Pokémon with a fiery crown on his head,Infernape. Next was a small blue/red Pokémon with large black out eyes and sharp teeth,Gible. Finally the last Pokémon was a small green Pokémon standing proud,Snivy.

All the Pokémon looked to see their trainer,older from the older Pokémon like Herracross and Infernape,and imminently rush and tackle him to the ground. Ash felt less pain then usual from his training but he always felt the love coming from his Pokémon. "Haha,it's great to see you guys too." Ash said as his Pokémon slowly got off but not until Gliscor flew up a bit and then drop back down on Ash's chest,making him groan.

"Gliscor." He said in his old expression to his trainer,with big watery eyes like a puppy. "Haha it's great to see you too Gliscor." Ash petted his head. "See guys I told you I'd pass along the message." Drake reassured. After Gliscor got off,Ash stared at all his old Pokémon ready to explain.

"Well guys...I'm sure you're all wondering why I chose to select this option and the main reason is if there's a chance to win the League here in Kalos,I can't do this alone. Someone once told me this would have to a be a family thing not a group's. Meaning that it's time to start getting you guys involve. Aside from now involving you guys,I should tell you all I'm not things the same as all our other previous adventures. With help and tutorage from Drake,I also decided to train as an Aura Guardian." Ash said as he manifested his Aura thought his hands as his Pokémon awed at it,especially Infernape and Gliscor who were familiar with Ash's hidden gift,now not so hidden.

Which means compared to my old self,I am now faster,stronger,more methodical and more importantly,patience." Ash smiled causing the others to laugh. "So guys...with these new methods. We'll train harder,smarter,and top of that,more complex." Ash said.

"Don't forget,we are in on this too." Drake said as he released Pidgeot,Raichu,Lucario,and Charizard. "Us too." Rene said as she,Serena,and Clemont all release their Pokémon out. "Ha,we also won't be alone on this either. So guys...what do you say?" Ash asked as his Pokémon were already interested. "So are we gonna want to stick around here for awhile?" Drake asked as everyone seem to agree. "Sure we can leave first thing tomorrow morning." Clemont said. "So for now. We train." Drake said. "Actually train Drake. No more of that meditating you've been for days." Rene said leaving Drake to grumble.


Within an hour everyone was training with their Pokémon expect Clemont who was tinkering. Serena and Rene helped with Feebas while exchanging Showcase tips. Ash and Drake trained with their Pokémon individually. Drake had Pidgeot and Charizard spar aerially while Lucario and Raichu sparred on the ground.

Ash had his Pokémon now training with one another. The point would be for Ash to see how far his old Pokémon have come by over time at the lab. First was Gliscor with Pikachu. Next was Snivy against Gible. Then was Herracross against Infernape. After individual training,Ash decided to trying something personal.

"Alright guys let's try a one on one sparing. Infernape you're sparring with me. Everyone watch us ok." Ash said as he and Infernape stood against on another. "I can sense your anxiety Infernape." Ash said as he was right. In Infernape's mind the last thing he wanted to do was intently harm his trainer. "Don't worry about me buddy. With my Aura training I've proven to take more then a punch to take me down." Ash said.

Infernape nodded and rushed Ash to attack with a quick jab but Ash quickly grabbed and struck Infernape in the face with a quick jab of his own. Infernape recovered and began a series of strikes not just with his hands but also his feet like an acrobat. The last kick managed to hit Ash in the shoulder. Ash rebound back with a back handspring then charged at Infernape.

"Don't be afraid to use your moves either buddy." Ash said as Infernape nodded and dashed with Mach Punch. Ash quickly responded by dodging since Infernape Mach Beatdown somehow gotten faster in the past two years. Not being able to hold out much longer,Ash countered by throwing an Aura Punch right into Infernape's Mach Punch to cancel it. At a stalemate Ash and Infernape were panting in a battling stance. "Wow...you gotten faster Infernape." Ash smiled as Infernape felt pride. "Alright guys,Who's next?"

Drake enjoyed the Sudden Death match he and his Pokémon were having. Raichu got out after Lucario pulled a ruse on him. Then Lucario got out next when Drake pulled a stand off and cleverly tripped Lucario,leaving him disgraced. Next was Drake himself when his two Flying Pokémon banged up on them. "That's a surprise event." Lucario said. "Even I lose at some point Lucario." Drake said as Charizard and Pidgeot circled each other in air firing either Flamethrower or Air Slash at each other.

Now Charizard was being chased by Pidgeot as the latter fired multiple Air Slashes. Charizard needed to turn the table as he suddenly stop flapping his wings and dropped. Heading downward Pidgeot continued to fire until Charizard fires back a Flamethrower but Pidgeot avoided it. Landing on ground Charizard looked up to see Pidgeot closing in. Using his wings Charizard forced himself backwards narrowly until Pidgeot was at his level. Charizard then spun forward and then attacked Pidgeot with Dragon Claw hitting him on the wing and causing him to go down. At last Charizard was the victor.

Drake and the others clapped at such a insensitive battle. "Wonderful guys. Great work." Drake said. "Shame. I had my claws on Pidgeot." Lucario said. Charizard grumbled to Lucario to live with it since he couldn't care about his opinion.

Rene and Serena worked with Braxien and Pancham along with Del and Arrow. "Alright watch this. Del use Fire Spin." Del use her wand to summon a ring of fire around then spun her wand in a circular motion. With her Psychic power Del form the fiery rings into a sphere that surrounded the three inside. "Alright Arrow use Razor Wind." Arrow then fired several aerial buzz saws out of the sphere that created holes. "Now Del. Fire Blast. Del fired inside the sphere as streams of fire shot out as the sphere was extending upwards due to the Fire Blast pushing against it. Out of the cone came Rene and Del riding on Arrow's back. "Now back through the fire and use Dazzling Gleam." Arrow flew back down through the tunnel of fire and shined brightly causing the tunnel to discharge,sending thousands of star shaped sparkles into the air.

Serena,Braxien,and Pancham marveled at the display and defilement of logistics that made this performance work. The explosion caused Ash,Drake and Clemont who turn to see the explosion happen. "Wonderful work Rene. I wish I thought of something like that." Serena said. "You will Serena. Something like that I'll teach you and you can put your own spin on it." Rene said until they heard applause coming from inside the Center. By the windows they saw a couple of trainers and little children applauding at what they saw.

"Seem we aren't the only ones who thought we saw a miracle." Drake said as he,Ash and Clemont walked over. "You still got a way of making people happy Rene." Serena said. "Maybe I do but I any sense of reality. I'm still just your teacher." Rene said avoiding the subject. "Say what you want Rene. You still got the grove." Drake said. "I do and thank people for that but that part of my life is over." Rene said.

"Ok,So guys,you wanna have practice battles?" Ash asked. "I'm down for that." Drake joined. "Perfect if Drake's in I'm in too." Rene joined. "I'll battle you Ash then Drake and Rene if you guys want." Clemont suggested. "We're good with that." Drake agreed. "Alright. We got battles to host." Ash said.

First battle involves Ash and Clemont as both trainers stood on opposite ends of the field. "Alright Chespin I choose you." Clemont released the Spiny Nut Pokémon to battle as Chespin smiled in battle stance. "Alright I know just the Pokémon. Snivy I choose you." Ash chose the Grass Snake Pokémon as she stood proud against her opponent.

"Who you look at that. Two Regional Grass type Starter Pokémon against each other." Rene said. "Yep but one think you should know about Ash's Snivy is that she can be tricky." Drake said. "I gotta scan her for it." Serena said as she took out her Pokédex.

"Snivy,the Grass Snake Pokémon,Being exposed to sunlight makes Snivy's movements swifter. It uses vines more adeptly than its hands."


Ash vs. Clemont: one on one

"Let's kick off Chespin. Use Tackle." Chespin rushed his opponent across the field. "Dodge Snivy." Rather then jump out of the way,Snivy stepped aside to avoid Chespin and used one of her vines to trip Chespin,knocking him on his butt.

Chespin then got up and snorted angrily at Snivy. Chespin charged at Snivy again without Clemont's consent. Snivy simply did the same thing as before leaving Chespin on his butt on the ground. Chespin growled and started shouting at Snivy as she stood proud not worrying one bit.

"Uhh Ash?" Clemont asked. "Sorry Clemont,Snivy can be abit...proud." Ash said. "Chespin calm down. Don't give Snivy the satisfaction." Clemont said as Chespin stopped his tantrum. "Snivy let's take this seriously." Ash said. "Alright Chespin use Pin Missle." Chespin then fired several green missiles homing in on Snivy. "Deflect with Leaf Blade." Snivy jumped and blocked the Pin Missiles at every turn.

Looking smirked at her this caused Chespin to growl more. "Don't give up Chespin again with Pin Missle." With a grand push Chespin fired from his heads pin but instead of missles,Chespin fired green glowing seeds that whistled up and back down at Snivy as if they were mortars. Snivy looked up and tried to dodge but the last one struck her body head on.

"Woah...Chespin what was that." Clemont asked as Chespin wondered himself. "Clemont,I think that was Seed Bomb." Ash said. "Really...that..Chespin you just learned Seed Bomb." Clemont said happily as the Spiny Nut Pokémon jumped in glee. "Great job Chespin. So you guys want to continue." Ash asked as Clemont and Chespin nodded.

"Now Chespin. Use Seed Bomb." Chespin fired whistling green bombs at Snivy once again. "Snivy I hope you still remember this trick. Use Attract." Snivy then jumped and then winked seductive that summoned pink hearts that floated to to Chespin. Chespin wondered about the heart until took hold of him,causing him to act lovey dovey to Snivy.

"Chespin,snap out of it." Clemont said as Chespin didn't heed his word. "Alright Snivy. Use Leaf Storm." Snivy then spun around that summon a storm of leaves that engulf Chespin and carried him off like in a hurricane. Chespin then land back on ground dizzy and fainted.

"Chespin is unable to battle. Snivy wins and the match goes to Ash." Drake announced.


"Congratulations Ash and Snivy." Clemont said. "Thanks Clemont And Chespin learned Seed Bomb." Ash said. "True,and that was quite a surprise." Clemont said.

"So Drake. Ready for our battle?" Rene asked. "Yep but don't say I didn't warn you." Drake said. "I've battled people like you before." Rene said. "Personally battling Danthia's Gardevoir doesn't count." Drake glared silly. "That wasn't what I was thinking of." Rene said as they head to the battlefield.

"Alright Del. I choose you." Rene released Delphox to battle. "Okay. Alright Raichu let's rock." Drake release the Mouse Pokémon to battle Delphox. "Ha,very noval." Rene said. "What?" Drake asked. "Fox vs Mouse?" Rene laughed. "That's...I don't have the words." Drake said. "Let's just get this over with." He continued.


Drake vs. Rene: one on one

"Del use Mystical Fire." Delphox summon a ring of Fire that burst out a stream of flames towards the Mouse Pokémon. "Double Team Raichu." Raichu then created multiple copies of itself as the Mystical Fire hit one of the copies instead. "That won't stop us. Fire Ring Del." Delphox launched a Fire Spin but also used it Psychic power to manipulate it into a ring then hurled it at all the copies but the original Raichu.

"Let's go on offense Raichu. Use Thunderbolt." Raichu then fired a power bolt of lightning straight at Delphox. "Use Fire Blast." Del fired a star shaped Blast straight at the Thunderbolt,canceling it out. "Through the smoke Raichu. Get ready." Raichu charged through the dispensing smoke where Del was waiting for him.

"Gotcha. Use Psychic." Del smelled Raichu's scent and managed to restrain him with Psychic engery. Raichu struggled to get free as Delphox rose him up and slammed him back into ground. "Raichu Shock Wave now.!" Raichu looked to see Del in front of him and fired a full electron blast that released him and pushed Del back with damage caused.

"Use Dig." Raichu then dug himself underground to hide. "Run and hide Drake? That's not your style." Rene said. "More like a temporary retreat. I like to see you try that." Drake said. "We'll see,but for now. Del Fire Spin all over the field." Delphox fired a fiery vortex over the field. Drake wondered what Rene was planning until he saw that the whole field was heating up like an oven which means?

"That's crazy. Raichu is getting cooked underground. We need a full electron blast to neutralize the Fire effect" Drake said. "Got it. Raichu use Thunder into the hole where you dug." From an underground hotspot and a thundercloud appeared up top where a powerful bolt rained down into the hole. "Absorb the electricity Raichu and discharge it via Shock Wave." A moment later a bright appeared from the hole until suddenly a Big Bang went up wrecking the whole field in a concussive blast,ceasing Del's attack.

"Now Raichu,Iron Tail Uppercut." Raichu ran across the field where he then use his long tail of steel to strike Delphox right in her jaw with much to force that Del went up in the air along with Raichu. "Now smackdown With Thunder!" Raichu then summoned a powerful bolt from the sky that struck the dazed fox that the bolt of lightning slammed her back to the ground.

Dazed from the blast Del steadily rose up to see Raichu in front of her. "We gotta keep up Del. Use Flamethrower." Del fired a stream of fire from her wand straight at the Mouse. "Use Charge Beam." Raichu fired a beam of electricity straight at the Flamethrower as both attacks tried to overpower each other. "Focus buddy. She maybe able to control fire,but you can control electricity." Drake said via Aura link as Raichu got his idea. Raichu then tried to merge parts of electricity into Delphox's Flamethrower which traveled up the stream and into Delphox's wand.

The attacks seize as Del grunted and struggled to get up. "What? How?" Rene said. "Simple physics. Del may control and manipulate fire but Raichu can do the same thing with lightning. The Charge Beam Raichu shot up also develop a merging effecting to Del's Flamethrower which then traveled up stream into Del's body. Almost similar to how Del could manipulate fire into shapes for your advantage...heh I created Lightning Fire. (I know. How very Natsu of me.)

"Well played,but I'm not done." Rene said. "Maybe you're not but look at Del." Drake said as Rene took a look at Delphox as she shouldn't stay standing due to the paralysis Raichu snuck pass her. "Del can you keep going." Del said yes but her body said otherwise when she collapsed.

"Alright Drake. I concede." Rene said. "And the Mouse outfoxed the Fox." Drake smirked. "Very funny." Rene wasn't assumed. "More like noval." Drake reminded her.


"Incredible Drake. I would've never have thought of that." Clemont said. "It took some time work out the kinks of that trick. One wrong move and it could be disastrous." Drake said. "But how did you know electricity could travel on fire?" Rene said. "Common physics. With the merging of ions and electrons into the fire's structure can send a negative charge up the stream." Clemont explained as everyone gave blank stares.

"Yea...what Clemont just said. It's a neat trick but it only works on Water of course and Fire. Every other Elemental type like Grass,Poison,or Ground would nullify the electrical current." Drake explained. "I see...So what do we do next?" Rene asked. "Rene I could use some help with Feebas." Serena asked as Rene nodded. "I'm gonna get Raichu healed up inside the Center." Drake said. "I'll keep working with my Pokémon." Ash said. "I think I'll help you with that along with some Aura Training for good measure when I come back." Drake said. "Okay let's keep enjoying ourselves." Ash said.


The afternoon came quick as Ash and Drake were just finishing their training for the today as their Pokémon were eating Oran Berries for good work. "See I told you they could handle it." Drake said. "I guess. I sure hope my other Pokémon can enjoy this type of training." Ash said. "Like their trainer Ash. They will besides they want to get stronger like you and they want to win the League." Drake said. "I guess. Well I think I'm gonna go join Clemont and Bonnie in the dining hall." Ash said as he then signaled his Pokémon to come with him.

After leaving,Drake noticed Rene and Serena still working with Feebas and decided to walk to see them. "Any luck?" He asked. "Some but I'll admit the progress is time consuming." Said Serena. "All things take time." Rene told her while Drake thought of something that might help speed things along.

"I think I may have something that could help." He said as he reach into his bag to take something out. Out of his hand and giving to Serena was a small candy in blue wrapping. "Drake? Is that what I think it is?" Rene asked. "A Rare Candy,yes it is." Drake admitted. "What's a Rare Candy?" Serena asked. "A Rare Candy is an item that suppose to help Pokémon get stronger,or even evolve." Rene said.

"But that depends in this case. Did you guys already have Feebas reach the highest level in its Beauty stat?" Drake asked. "I believe we did. Now we just gotta give enough experience for it to evolve." Rene said. "This maybe able to help if you choose to accept." Drake said. Serena thought about it and this may benefit her as she could start training Feebas right away.

"Okay give me it." Serena took it,unwrapped the candy and then toss it into the water. "Serena perhaps we shouldn't do this too hasty." Rene said but the decision was made. Feebas noticed the treat and ate it in a small gulp. The next moment Feebas began to glow brightly as she undergo an extraordinary transformation.

It's body extended greatly to the form of a snake,fin like appendages grew along her head,a pattern set on the lower half of the body form along with a fan like fin at the end of her tail. At last the glow dispersed revealing a long sea snake Pokémon in colorful patterns in beauty and brawn. The three trainers gasped at this as Serena took out her Pokédex to scan it.

"Milotic,the Tender Pokémon,it's said that a glimpse of a Milotic and its beauty will calm any hostile emotions you're feeling."

Wow they said seeming a Milotic evolve before your eyes truly makes any instantly happy. They weren't kidding." Said Rene. "Hi Milotic you evolved." Serena said as Milotic looked at this girl looking happy but then suddenly fired a blast of water right at her face,having her drenched in water. "What the?" "Milotic why did you do that?" Rene asked as Milotic simply turned her head in disgust.

"Milotic why are you like this?" Serena asked in sadness. Milotic turned to see her sad but simply turned its head away again. "O...Kay this may have been a bad idea." Rene said. "Guys...did you try to connect with Feebas on a emotional level?" Drake said as both girls didn't say anything. "You did try to work on connecting and expressions right?" Drake asked again but once again didn't get a response.

"Guys..."Drake sighed as he put his hands on his head as he was very disappointed. "Drake is this bad?" Serena asked. "Well let's see: a sinuous Pokémon just evolve and you haven't yet to emotionally connect with it. Which means she sees you as unworthy,despicable and on top;inferior so that means she won't listen to you or your commands. If I knew you guys hadn't made any sort of connection with Milotic,I wouldn't have given you guys the Rare Candy." Drake said with his voice slightly risen.

"Hey Drake,ease up!" Rene argued. "I'm sorry. Really I am but this is rock bottom." Drake said. "Drake...what do we do now?" Serena said sadly. "*sigh* for now nothing. Milotic won't listen to you today...just return her to her Pokeball. Next time when you guys train her until you guys and I specifically mean you Serena: get her to open up and connect with you on each other's expectations because until then you won't be able to practice Milotic's moves for Showcases." Drake said in a stern look until he chose to walk away to the Center,leaving Rene and Serena to their problems.


That night Ash and Serena rested in their room,laying on the bed together cuddled up when Ash saw the depressed expression on Serena's face. "What's wrong honey." He asked. "Well...I screwed up Ash." Serena said. "Why's that." He asked. "Well...I got Feebas to evolve." Serena said.

"Really? That's great." Ash said. "Yes,until I realized Milotic won't obey my commands." She said. "I know how that's like. Don't worry she'll warm up to you." Ash said. "I hope. Drake wasn't impressed that I hadn't fully connected with Feebas before having her evolve." Serena said. "Oh man. I could just imagine what his response was." Ash voice turned stern.

"He was blunt about it and most importantly he was right. I was impatient and stupid." Serena said. "I'm gonna have a talk with him tomorrow. Babe,you're not stupid. We all make mistakes. Heck when I started out one of my Pokémon was okay at first until he evolved into his next stage and that's by when he started running wild. He evolved again and the disobedience continued but eventually I earned back his loyalty." Ash said.

"How long did that take you?" Serena said. "To be honest...about a year and a half." Ash said. "A year and a half? Ash I don't have that kind of time." "Serena,you're gonna have to. You rush this and it'll be two steps back." Ash said. "*sigh* Okay...I'll work on it." Serena said. "And you'll succeed. You're the sweetest person I know." Ash said as he snuggled her in his arms.

"You and your modesty." Serena said as she peck the corner of his mouth. "You wanna...you know." Ash asked with a smirk. "Hmm...not tonight. We have an early rise in the morning and with Frogadeir and Braxien sleeping peacefully at our feet. I don't want to disturb them." Serena said as she surprised Ash by mounting his lap. "But tomorrow...I'll have a special session just for you." Serena said as she traced his chest. Ash immediately began to blush at what his girlfriend had in store. "Can I get a sneak peak?" Ash asked.

"Haha...now who's impatient." Serena said as she laid back down. "I love you." Serena said as she snuggled tightly to Ash. "I love you too." Ash pecked her lips as they fall to sleep. Tomorrow they're back on the road as the Journey continues.
