Chapter 3
"Come on Mom! Hurry! We are getting late for the match !"
"Yes honey, I am ready."
Ash and his mom have reached the Galar region and are heading towards a world coronation series match.
But as always, Ash overslept and was late. That's a classic Ash thing to do.
But they did reach towards the end of the final round.
"Duraludon is unable to battle. Leon's Charizard wins. So, the winner of the match is Leon!"
Leon, the current monarch, is as strong as ever. Ash stood there in awe. He had just found a new idol! And before he knew, he was in front of a school.
He noticed a girl and a boy bickering over something. And again, he got reminded of her.
"Ash, I know you are not feeling good right now. I know how it feels to lose when you have tried so hard for a single match. Believe me. I have been at that place. But know that you can talk to me about anything anywhere and at anytime. I get how you—", Serena said in her calming sweet voice, but was interrupted halfway by Ash.
"You think you get me? NO, YOU DON'T. YOU CAN NEVER GET ME! YOU CAN NEVER GET HOW I FEEL! JUST GO AWAY. I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU!", Ash shouted at her, regretting as soon as the careless words spilled from his mouth. He had always been the impatient and immature one when something didn't go his way. He was quite thoughtful this time but he lost his cool again.
Feeling ashamed, he didn't want to look at her disappointed face so he turned his back. Soon, he felt something cold hitting his back. Annoyed, he faced towards Serena again. But a snowball hit face again. Serena looked mad, a thing quite unlike her.
She started shouting, her voice cracked with the overwhelming emotions "YOU ARE NOT THE ASH I KNOW. THE ASH I KNOW NEVER FEELS THIS DISAPPOINTED AFTER LOSING A MATCH. HE LEARNS FROM HIS MISTAKES AND WORKS HARDER TO MAKE A STRONGER COMEBACK THAN THE LAST TIME. YOU ARE NOT THAT ASH! I WANT MY ASH BACK!"
Before he could say anything, she was gone. Her words hit him hard. But he kept wondering one thing, "Her Ash?"
But they later made up and their friendship, as they liked to call it, grew even stronger.
Thinking about this bittersweet incident, Ash's lips were soon curling into a smile.
"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?!", two voices shouted simultaneously.
Ash snapped out of his memories of her and explained, "No I wasn't laughing at you both. What are your names by the way?" he tried to change the subject.
"Goh" "Chloe", both of their voices were in sync again.
Ash grinned and said, "You both must be really good friends to be that in sync."
"NO WAY!", again in sync.
Ash laughed and said, "Sure! I am Ash from Pallet town. Nice to meet you both"
That was the start of a new friendship. Ash wanted to be stronger and he had a new dream, to battle Leon. Goh's dream was to catch every kind of pokemons, including Mew. And Chloe, the daughter of the famous Professor Cerise, was yet to find her dream and her own pokemon. Together they started a new adventure. Ash and Goh also started working for Professor Cerise as research fellows after a fateful encounter with the legendary pokemon, Lugia. Professor Cerise, impressed with the fact that they not only befriended the pokemon, but also the fact that Ash could understand its feelings, decided to make them his acquaintances. And Chloe, walked beside them, always supportive and occasionally bickering with her childhood friend.
Ash and Goh however soon found themselves with new pokemons in their teams. Goh's first pokemon was a cute and loyal Scorbunny who loved him more than any pokemon would. He went on catching every pokemon he could lay his eyes on, his Scorbunny always helping him. Ash's first pokemon in his new journey was a Dragonair, who evolved into a Dragonite in order to save him. Dragonite was Ash's most loving pokemon as well, who hugged anyone he could find. Needless to say, every pokemons of Ash and Goh loved Dragonite for his warm hugs. Ash also befriended an abandoned Gengar who joined him, a Galarian Farfetch'd, a Dracovish and an egg who later hatched into a Riolu and with whom Ash shared aura bond. It was quite obvious that Riolu was going to be one of the strongest in his team. Goh meanwhile befriended and caught several pokemons and his Scorbunny evolved to a Raboot, who wasn't as affectionate as before. Chloe ended up with a new partner too! An Eevee who was unable to evolve, due to her unstable DNA. Together Eevee and Chloe understood each other and grew stronger. The journey was going on with Ash winning steadily towards his new destination. Although he had come so far,
A part of him still thought about her.
And he was still striving to be the Ash she would be proud of. Her Ash.
