Hey, guys! I'm back again with another chapter! It's not long after I posted the last one. In fact, I'm writing this directly after posting the last chapter. Yes, that is the exact same thing that started off the last chapter. Anyway, let's get straight to the chapter!


After Ash ran again, managing to beat his previous time by two seconds, some of the other campers went too, then Serena threw her hand up after Ash telling her that it wasn't too bad, and was actually really fun, the adrenaline rush especially.

"Okay, Serena's up now!" Sycamore announced as Serena made her way over to the starting line. She had analysed the paths the other people took and had already figured out her route.

"Go!"

Serena ran forwards, up the ramp before climbing up a ledge, running on top of the block before having to balance her way across the top of a thin wall, jumping off halfway onto a slanted piece of concrete, sliding down before continuing to run. Only moments later, she was climbing up the second to last wall, and after she stood up, she jumped over to another ledge, dropping off the end and onto another block, one of the ones Ash jumped on previously. She dropped the rest of the way and ran, grabbing onto a rope and pulling herself up the ramp that was almost vertical with it, before pushing across and onto the top of the last wall, sliding down and running to the finish, completely out of breath. She couldn't believe Ash was completely fine after doing it before.

"Serena, that was very good. Your time was forty seconds. Would you like to do it again?" Sycamore asked her, to which Serena shook her head vigorously, unable to talk through her short, fast breaths.

Sycamore nodded before Serena went to sit down again. She sat down next to Ash, who laughed a little at her state. "Want a drink?" He asked her, holding up his bottle of water, to which Serena nodded, gratefully taking the bottle and taking two big sips, not realising that she just indirectly kissed Ash, as he had taken a swig from the same bottle while she was doing the course.

"T-Thanks," Serena blurted out, still slightly out of breath, handing the bottle back to Ash, who smiled as he took it. He had realised that she had indirectly kissed him, but he didn't care. He had actually kissed her! On the cheek, but still!


The next two hours passed by quickly. Everyone who was willing to do the courses had done the first two, with everyone else not participating watching intently.

"Well, it's time for lunch, everyone!" Sycamore announced, watching as the campers stood up and entered the caféteria for lunch.

Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie greedily nommed their food, taking no time to finish before they left the room, heading back to their cabin to relax for the rest of the hour.

"So, Ash," Clemont started, looking over at him from his bed. "How are you so quick?"

"What?" Ash asked, looking back at him, a look of confusion etched onto his face.

"The obstacle courses! How are you so quick at getting through them?" Clemont exclaimed, desperate to know the answer.

"I've just got a load of experience. Nothing else!" Ash said, getting slightly annoyed.

"Oh, come on! That's not the only reason, I can tell!" Serena exclaimed, getting off her bed and heading over to Ash, pulling him up before turning around to face her, Clemont and Bonnie.

"What are you doing?" Ash asked her, confused.

"Now, let's see what's under here," Serena murmured, giggling a little before pulling up Ash's shirt, revealing his abs.

"W-What are you doing?!" Ash exclaimed, pulling his shirt back down quickly before pushing Serena onto her bed.

Serena giggled again along with Bonnie while Clemont was slightly confused as to what happened.

Ash, not really caring about what happened, started to laugh too, causing Clemont to start laughing as well.


Five hours later, everyone participating in the obstacle courses had gone through the first four, meaning that there was only one left.

"So! Who's going to participate in this one?" Sycamore asked, pointing at the obstacle course which looked like a death trap. Sycamore, knowing that only the most athletic people at the camp would have enough energy to keep going, had designed the last course to be the most difficult, with the lowest ledges being ten foot high, and the highest being around twenty.

Everyone was silent. Everyone apart from one raven-haired trainer.

"Yeah, I'll do it," Ash said, not knowing why half the camp gasped or why Serena suddenly grabbed him and hugged him tighter than ever.

"Okay, but, Ash. Do you realise that there is a serious risk of getting hurt, or, dare I say it, death?" Sycamore asked him, to which Ash nodded, causing Serena to tighten her grip, even more, much to Ash's distaste.

Sycamore sighed. "Go on, then."

Serena begrudgingly let go of Ash, telling him to be careful before he made his way over to the starting line.

"Three! Two! One! Go!"

Ash ran forward, vaulting over a thin block before kicking off a wall straight after it, grabbing onto the top and pulling himself up before jumping and grabbing onto a metal bar that was suspended in mid-air by two massive walls. Swinging back and forth a few times, Ash proceeded to let go, sending himself flying towards the top of another block which he landed on, quickly sliding down the slanted edge on the other side before kicking off, launching himself mid-slide and onto another ledge which he had the option of sliding past, but decided not to as this route would save him some time. He ran before jumping off the end, landing on the top of a bar which he quickly jumped off, landing on a block a few feet lower, using the standard parkour roll to absorb the impact when he landed. Finally, he slid down the last slanted piece of concrete and ran across the finish line.

Everyone let out a deep breath when Ash finished, unscathed. Some people, mainly Serena, feared that he would slip or miscalculate a jump and smash his head into the concrete, but, luckily, that didn't happen. Even Sycamore seemed shaken.

"Well done, Ash!" Sycamore exclaimed, grabbing his wrist and holding his arm in the air. "You got through that in thirty seconds!"

The crowd applauded and cheered, causing Ash to blush a little at the massively positive response to his skills.


A few hours later, all of the campers were asleep. Serena had demanded that she would be sleeping with Ash after the chance of losing him. In fact, she clung to him as if she was going to die if she let go.

"I'm staying with you tonight!" Serena exclaimed, grabbing onto Ash's arm and clinging to it.

"Why?" Ash asked, already knowing the answer.

"You could've died today! And I don't want you to die..."

They stood out in the cold, dark, silent night for a few minutes, Serena sobbing into Ash's chest.

"Okay," Ash said eventually, breaking the silence before leading her into the cabin and to bed.


There we go! The fifth day is done! Only one more day of activities and then the last day will be random things. Well, that's what I think it will be now. I might get a better idea when I come to write that part of the story. Anyway, leave a review with anything you want in it, as I will approve. Yes, even 'hate.' It's merely constructive criticism, so I'll be happy to hear about what I need to improve. BYE!
