Chapter 4

Sick Serena

"Serena!" the group shouted, as they saw plummeting down on the road unexpected, As they were walking. With the exception of Pikachu who said, "Pika."(t: Oh no!)

Ash picked her up, bridal style, and then feeling her forehead, while saying, "Guys, she's burning up."

"Bonnie check Serena's MapNav for any Hospitals nearby." Clemont said as Bonnie got into Serena's backpack, got her tablet and checked.

"The closest hospital is about about two day's of travel away," Bonnie checked.

"Ok then, let's make camp here since the center's to far away," Clemont suggested, "Ash, Bonnie set up the tents while I'll be diagnosing the problem." Ash and Bonnie agreed.

Ash then gave Serena to Clemont saying, "take care of her," in a concerned tone.

"Don't worry it's probably just a fever, she just needs some rest," Clemont said.

"Ok," Ash said still worried about her, then setting up a tent with Bonnie. They hurried and took only a couple of minutes setting it up. Clemont then put Serena down inside of it.

Clemont examined her for a bit and finnally asked, "Ash can you get a bucket, fill it with water from a river and get a towel while your at it."

"Ok then I'll be going," Ash said as he grapped a bucket from Clemont stuff, gave Pikachu to him and headed down to a river they passed through a little bit less than an hour ago. He ran as quick as he could. It took him about less than hour to go there and back. He then got a towel from his own backpack and gave Clemont the things he asked for.

He got the towel, soaked it in water from the bucket and dabbed it on her forehead, to stimulate the sweat to help her body cool. "Okay then now," Clemont said, "Bonnie help her change from her outfit right now to her Pajamas. I read somewhere that wearing loose, comfortable clothes will help your body relax and help improve air circulation to help her stay cool. Ash, pikachu and I will of coarse get out." The guys then got out zipping the tent behind them.

"Ash," Clemont said, when they were outside the tent, "How are you feeling about Serena's State."

Ash replied , "I'm worried for her. She could have just said that she wasn't feeling well., but she pushed herself to far."

Clemont asked, "How about what you feel for Serena?"

Ash blushed. "W-what are y-you talking about."

"I know you, and you like her," Clemont explained while adjusting his glasses, "when you were talking with Pikachu you said that you like her that way. Like what way Ash?"

"Pikachu pika,"(He loves her) Pikachu said, but Clemont didn't not understanding what he said.

"Um... I meant I like her as a... a friend," Ash said with his face turning a darker shade of red.

"Yeah, right," Clemont said in a sarcastic tone, " Anyway, I'm gonna make some soup for dinner. I'll be back," Clemont then walked away. Pikachu walked away with him for an unknown reason.

A few minutes past by. Bonnie finishing changing Serena into her pajamas and yelled out for Ash to hear, "Ok, I'm done if guys wanna come in you can."

"Ok, then I'm coming in," Ash proclaimed as he zipped open the tent and went inside.

"Hey Ash," Serena said in a sickly tone as she saw Ash. Serena was sitting upright, leaning against a side of the tent, looking in bad shape.

"Why is she awake, Bonnie?" Ash asked.

"She woke up when I tried to change her out of her regular clothes, Into her pajamas." Bonnie answered.

"Where's my brother?" The little girl asked.

"He's making dinner," Ash then spoke softly to Serena, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah." Serena answered.*cough*sneeze*

"Serena just lay down and get some rest," Ash said, while now holding her hand and she followed his words, while blushing.

"Hey guys dinner's ready," the group heard Clemont outside saying, "And Ash, Wake up Serena." Serena then tried to get up, But both Ash and Bonnie stopped her.

"Stop Serena, I'll get you guys a dinner, just rest there, also if you guys want I'll fed your pokemon." Bonnie said as she got all their pokeballs that Serena and Ash gave to her and left the tent.

"Ash." Serena said almost crying, "sorry I'm such a bother. I'm slowing down the whole group down."

"Serena," Ash replied, "You're not a bother. Remember what I said when I invited you to go on a journey with us."

Serena shook her head meaning no.

"I said that we could help each other if we journey together."

"When did I ever helped you?" Serena asked.

"More than you think," He answered, "You give me inspiration through my battles, you baked me the tastiest sweets, you thought me how to race a ryhorn and the List goes on Serena." As he kept complimenting her, her face became more red, "Your so helpful to me that I think I may have fa-." Ash got cut of by Bonnie barging in the tent holding a tray having Two bowls of Pecha Berry Soup with two spoons. Ash was relieved because he was about to tell his feelings to her my saying the words,"fallen in love with you," while Serena was upset because she didn't hear the last of his sentence but she could only guess that he was about to tell her he likes her.

Serena sat upright with the assistance of Ash while thinking to herself."He's so sweet and caring." Ash got their bowls and spoons from Bonnie. Bonnie then left.

"Hey Serena, are you strong enough to hold the spoon on your own?" Ash asked with Serena replying shaking her head no. She lied, she did have the strength to do it. "Fine then here," Ash had said getting Serena's spoon got some of her soup and fed her. She Blushed.

Serena then asked. "aren't you gonna eat?"

"Not until you finish your bowl," Ash replied As he kept feeding her. Her face just became more reddened at his words, but Ash took no notice to this.

When she finished her Bowl, Ash grabbed his bowl, chugged down all the soup down in an instance and put down his bowl next to hers, at the floor of the tent. Ash then held her Hand, which made her blushed even further and than said, with a worried expression, "Do feel any better."

She smiled and answered. "Thanks to you."

"You should get some sleep." Ash suggested.

"No, stay with me." Serena said like a child.

"I'll stay with you, until you sleep."

"Ok," she replied, laid down and drifted to sleep, while not letting go of Ash's hand. After realizing he was stuck and can't let go, he accepted it and accidently fell asleep next to her. Not knowing that Serena gave a little grin when he laid down.

Bonnie, Pikachu and Clemont came by to the tent only to see their friends falling asleep together holding each other's hand. Bonnie was the first of the three to voice their opinions, "Oh it's so cute!" She said it out loud, but not loud enough to disturbed the to in their sleep.

"Shush Bonnie," Clemont ordered, quietly, "You might wake them up."

"Ok brother," Bonnie whispered.

"Looks like we'll be in the same tent tonight," Clemont said, "you to Pikachu if you want."

"Pi" The Pokemon said nodding meaning, "yes."

"I guess we're stuck with the dishes." Clemont complained.

"Hey Bonnie can you get their bowls," Clemont whispered to her, " and let's do the dishes tonight."

"Ok Brother," she replied and carefully got their bowls and utensils, carefully not disturbing the two in their Slumber giving it to Clemont.

"Ok guys, let's go," Clemont said as he used a device to clean the dishes, which surprisingly worked while Bonnie and Pikachu set up the another tent. After all of that was done they went to sleep.

Morning

Serena woked up finding Ash face to face her and she sat up and got back while her face was reddening. She then thought about last night and realized that she was alright. She wasn't sick anymore. Serena put her right hand across the side of Ash's face, said "thanks," and gave a peck on his forehead. She grabbed her backpack and changed to her regular clothes and hoping Ash wouldn't find her like this.

After she change she went outside and walked up stretching her arms. She then thought to herself. "Looks like I'm the first one up, guess I'll make breakfast." After that she walked inside the Tent Bonnie and Clemont were sleeping at, got into Clemont stuff and got his cooking supplies. She then cooked breakfast.

Ash woke up about a half a hour later after Serena got up. He realized she was gone. He quickly panicked inside the tent and decided to look outside for her Only to see Serena cooking breakfast. When Serena saw Ash getting out the tent She waved to him.

"Serena, you okay, you shouldn't push yourself to hard," Ash said in a worried tone.

"Stop worrying, Ash, I'm fine," She replied then twirling around. "See."

"Fine then," Ash said.

The events that transpired last night came in her thoughts. "Ash, t-thanks for staying with m-me," She mumbled blushing, putting her head down.

"Yeah, Well, I just couldn't get out of your grip," Ash replied, nervously, scratching the back of his head.

"Yeah," Serena giggling.

Afterward, Two figures stepped out of the other Tent reaveling Bonnie and Clemont."

"Serena, are you all better?" Bonnie asked.

"Yeah," Serena answered. "Thanks to you guys and that Pecha berry soup Clemont."

"Yo, Clemont, where's Pikachu?" Ash asked.

"In the tent, sleeping still and here's your pokemon," Clemont answered as he gave Serena and Ash their Pokemon.

"K, then, I'll go check on Pikachu." Ash proclaimed as he walked to Clemont's tent.

"Ash, I'll call you when breakfast is ready," Serena shouted.

He replied, "Okay," from afar.

"Soooo," Bonnie said in a teasing tone, "Give me the details, Serena, what happened between you to last." To her comment, She blushed heavily.

"N-nothing Bonnie," She replied shyly.

"Sure nothing happened," Clemont and Bonnie both said in a sarcastic tone.

"I'll help you make breakfast, Serena," Clemont announced," and Bonnie you could with Deddene." He then took Pokeball and released the Pokemon.

Meanwhile at Clemont's tent.

"Hey Buddy," Ash exclaimed, waking Pikachu up.

"Pi pikachu," Pikachu said. (T: hey Ash)

"Hey by the way, Last night. Why did you go with Clemont." Ash questioned.

"pika Pikachu," Pikachu responded. (T:I felt you were gonna have a moment with Serena.)

"wha-what," Ash replied with a blush in his face.

"pika pika pika pikachu," Ash's pokemon said. (T: Look like I was right, since you guys fell asleep with your hand intertwining.)

"Moving along, You ready for a day of training?" Ash asked.

"pika pika Pikachu pi, *yawn*" Pikachu answered. (T: Can we not train today, I'm feeling lazy)

"Sure," Ash, "we could do whatever you want."

"pi pi pika pi pika," Pikachu said back. (T: Well what I want is for you to tell what happened between You and Serena did last night)

"What the," Ash said getting cut of guard, but still impress that Pikachu used his words against him. "Fine, do you really want to Know," Pika nodded meaning yes and Ash told him what transpired last night, "We didn't really do anything, we just talked."

"pika pi," the Lightning pokemon said. (T: What did you talk about.)

"She was just getting sad because she was slowing us down and I just cheered her up. One of the moments I almost told her I loved her."

"Pi Pi," The Pokemon said with a shock. (T: What!)

"Well I was cheering her up by saying all of the things that she has done for me all these moments I was with her and then I was going to confess, but luckily Bonnie came in with our meals and interrupted me mid-sentence."

"Pika pi Pi." (T: You guys were getting so close getting together.)

"I'll tell her when the moments right. I mean that she was sick and emotionally vulnerable. I didn't want to abuse her feelings."

"pikachu," (T:good you probably done the right thing)

"Ash," A voice said outside across the tent, "Breakfast is ready. Also, Pikachu, if your awake, I have a bottle of ketchup."This made the two ran outside and get their meal.

Afterwards they ate breakfast and talked about travel plans. They came into a conclusion to keep traveling that day. They packed up and left moving and a few miles later someone *sneeze*
