Train ride of memories part 2

The morning light from the sun seamed through the windows and fell on the faces on Ash and Serena, who both were resting on each other. Slowly they woke up that shone through their eyelids. The sun was shining on them from the horizon.

The couple diverted their attention to the people in front of them. They were the last ones to wake and they saw Bonnie and Leaf conversing. Pikachu was on Bonnie's lap being groomed by her.

The inventor, however, was not there. He was sitting in a separate booth in the same room in the train tinkiring with some machines. He needed some space to work on his inventions.

As Leaf saw her childhood friends waking she commented, "You guys are awfully close." Her phrase was followed by a question, "Sleep well?"

Ash and Serena had a slight flustered face. Each reddened due to the attention they were getting.

"You don't even know." Bonnie added on. "They spent almost every night together for about a week."

"That's cute." Leaf commented. "Your faces are even the same color blush!"

With every comment the two were given the couple blush grew more in color. They were embarrass. Like any human, they felt an emotion which the two was now feeling. They were self conscious and did not want to show affection in a crowd.

It was not until a stewardess came with breakfast and they then change the topic. Clemont soon came to them to eat with his friends.

"Cyllage city will be the next stop of this train." Clemont said as he dined.

Ash was eating faster than usual. He was usually like this when he was excited for something like a upcoming gym match. "I can't wait to get to Shalour city and mega evolve my Charizard." While talking he almost choked on his food. Ash coughed violently.

Serena gave him a glass of water to wash his food down his throat. "Don't eat so fast Sweetie." She gave out a concerned expression on her face towards her boyfriend.

"I'm sorry I worried you." Ash apologized.

Serena replied, "Don't worry about me just drink plenty of water."

Witnessing this Bonnie commented "The're so cute as a couple."

"Now kiss." Leaf said. The couple immediately blushed and embarrassed. They were shy showing affection out in the public, even if it was to their friends.

Clemont was the voice of reason here. "Come on guys leave them alone."

"Thanks Clemont." Ash and Serena thanked him.

The train stopped yet again and this time it was in Cyllage city. Passengers came out and new ones were picked up.

"All aboard," the conductor announced and the train headed to the Ash's group's. destination, Shalour city.

"I'm so pumped." Ash was excited.

The train started moving again after a couple of moments, a stewardess in the train cart. She was going around asking the people aboard the vehicle if they need any help getting comfortable. Each passenger, one by one, the stewardess asked if she could be of any assistance to them.

This went unnoticed by the group until she was close by. She was stopped by a person. This event was noticed throughout the passengers of the train.

Ash heard a voice that resonated with his memory which said, "I need some assistance. Your ever lasting beauty facinated me. Your voice echoes through the heavens. To me you are an angel. Please be mine."

The group quickly diverted towards the scene and saw none other than Ash's old travelling companion, Brock. A friend that has been with him from the beggining of his journey. He had spiky black hair, dark skin, and has a habit of hitting on pretty girls every time he sees one.

There stood a familiar image to Ash. Brock kneeling down on one knee, holding one of the girl's hand with his own hands, and a uncomfortable look towards him from the pretty girl.

"Brock!?" Ash wanted to verify. Ash and Pikachu was more than delighted to see their old friend and travelling companion.

Brock looked towards the person who had just called him and then smiled. "Hey As-." He got cut off mid sentence because of the pain he had been exposed to a poison jabbed performed by his pokemon, Crougnaut, and fell to the floor. The stewardess, who was weirded out, just left the train cart altogether.

Ash quickly got to his side and helped him up. Ash said, "Long time no see. I haven't seen you since Sinnoh."

"Hey it has been that long," Brock replied. "Crougnaut return." A flash of red surrounded the pokemon and was immediately returned to its pokeball.

Ash led him to his group and introduced him to them. "Guys, this is Brock. A friend of mine."

Pikachu as a greeting jumped on Brock's shoulder. Ash let his friends introduced themselves to Brock.

"Nice meeting you, any friend of Ash is a friend of mine." Clemont was the first one to introduce himself to Brock. "My name is Clemont."

"I'm Bonnie." The blond girl spoke up.

Leaf was next. "My name is Leaf, a childhood friend of Ash."

"I'm Serena, Ash's girlfriend," Serena said while tilting her head and then smiling, not because it's common curtesy to smile when meeting new people, but because she liked the ring of the words on her mouth.

Brock stood their shocked, speechless and unable to move. For years he had tried to get a girlfriend and each time ending with rejection and/or being poison jabbed by his pokemon or getting his ear yanked away. He fell into a great state of depression and on the floor. A dark gloomy cloud hovered above his head.

The cloud disappeared when Ash asked about his dream. "So, how did trying to become a pokemon doctor work out."

Brock recovered from his depression. He liked talking about his line of work. He answered gloat fully, "I got my credentials to practice medicine on Pokemon."

"Sweet!" Ash commented.

"Yeah, so you can call me doctor Brock now." Brock gloated and then asked, "So how is becoming a Pokemon Master working out?"

"Really hope I win the League this time." Ash hoped.

"So," Clemont asked, "How's life as a pokemon doctor?"

Brock responded, "It is really fulfilling, helping pokemon who are hurt and sick."

"Brock can you help me with something?" Ash asked him.

Brock answered, "Anything bud."

Ash said, "Remember what happened to Charizard?"

"What about him." Brock questioned.

Ash answered, "When he evolved, he became more rebellious."

"Yeah." Brock remembered. "Why are you telling me this?"

"Well... My Noivern, when he evolved, stopped listening to me, just like Charizard," Ash said. "You are very knowledgeable when it comes to pokemon, do you know why?"

"Well when a pokemon evolves, it changes the structure of the brain if the change is big. Different structure means different personality, and, but rarely, the loss of some memories." Brock answered Ash. "It's most common with dragon types due to their more drastic change in evolution."

Ash kept asking him questions, "Anyway to make him remember?"

"I don't know, but surely you can do it." Brock encouraged him to not lose hope. "You made Charizard remembered."

Ash and Brock took a seat at the booth. Ash sat in the middle of Brock and Serena, who was in the window seat. The others were squeezed on the other side of the booth.

"So, Brock," Ash said to him. "Why are you in the Kalos Region?"

"I went here as a stand in for my dad," Brock replied. "There was a meeting for rock type gym leaders. You know, for the standard difficulty for trainer challenges. Grant the Cyllage rock type gym leader hosted it this year."

"Gym leaders do that?" Serena commented.

"Yeah, even for electric type gyms," Clemont said. "Those meetings are such a drag."

"Definitely." Brock agreed. "Are you one?"

"Yeah, I'm the Lumiose city electric type gym leader," Clemont said.

"Brock stay with us in Shalour city, it'll be fun." The charismatic girl Bonnie urged him to go with them. To her the more the merrier the journey will be.

Brock replied, "Sure, but I can only stay a few more days. I have clients back in Kanto."

"This is gonna be fun." Ash spoke out in joy for his friends are reuniting with him.

A few hours later, completly unknown to the conversating the group the sun setted of the distance. With that the darkness crept through the outside sky until the atmosphere had the color of a dark blue with some stars shinning in the spacious sky.

The train ride was almost done. Few minutes more the group would reach their destination, Shalour city.

For chapters I try to publish it between one week and two days or two weeks. If I extend this expectation Infer that I am really busy or I procrastinated or both.

This has been fan wizard signing off.
