Hey guys, Jeff here!

So guys, this is a new chapter and I must say, I'm surprised that this story is going on well already, even though it has only been one chapter and I wouldn't have done it without you all with your continuous support :D

Without further ado, let's get to reading...


Serena, who was on her way to her new school, the new school that she is actually looking forward to, since she is actually starting anew once again, felt happy, no, very happy. This feeling is somewhat different this morning, since it's something that she hasn't felt for a long time, remembering what happened in her previous school, which she couldn't forget no matter how hard she tried, and also what happened so far. No matter what the costs are, she could not wait to get to her new school, to learn and study, but what's most important to her, to gain new friends.

As Serena gladly walked to the school, she paid some attention at least to her surroundings as she walked by, since she hasn't got a good memory of the town just yet, as she has just got here and just new to the place itself. Oh how she wished for someone to be here for her, someone who actually knows the place around her, at least just to escort her as she walked to her new school, but then again she remembered that she needed to be independent of herself, how she needed to work things out for herself, since it was said to her before that she should stop depending on people that much, since she has done it all the time.

Interestingly for Serena, the town actually looks a lot better than her old town. There are more shops, buildings, and all that kinds of stuff, which a normal town supposedly have, as her old town only had a couple of houses and that's kind of it, unless you go to the next town, which is a lot bigger, but still not as big as this. Also, Serena noticed that the town is actually a lot busier than the old one. She noticed that this town actually contained a lot of people, well more than her old town, whereby you see the same people every time you walk around, since there weren't enough people there in a way. Serena wondered, thought about how you could be lost in this town if you're not careful or not paying much attention…

Not to a surprise to herself, this is the point when she actually got lost, since she was too busy looking around the whole town, and forgot which direction she was actually heading towards her new school as well as where her home actually is. With her own knowledge, the only thing that she remembered that could help her find her way was that her home is sort of surrounded by fields, filled with greenery, and that the school is sort of in the same area, but also she remembered that in the middle of it was the town itself, which wasn't really important and not really precise enough information to go with as a lead.

'Oh, what do I do? What do I do?!' Serena panicked in her head. 'I am definitely lost now! How could I have been so stupid!? Why wasn't I paying attention to where I was going?'

Serena scratched her head. 'Well, I suppose I can't just stand here and do nothing… I mean, I have to do something to sort out the mess I have made with myself.'

Serena sighed. 'What do I do though? I have nothing to help me find my way, but wait…'

At that moment, an idea popped onto Serena's head, like she remembered something important and valuable that she had. She went quickly to the nearest bench that she could fine and placed her bag on it. As she placed down her bag onto the bench, she then opened her bag to have a peek inside, to see if she has got the thing that could potentially solve her problems. Shuffling her hand through her pink backpack, she finally grabbed hold of what she was looking for. Her pink tablet, her trusty and handy pink tablet that she has treasured so much and has mostly put her out of her own mess before.

Serena sighed with relief. 'Oh, glad I've found it, now I can find my way.'

As she thought about this, she opened her tablet, revealing the split screen that it has a function. Pressing the button at the side to turn on the tablet, a notification then popped up on the two screens, displaying a sort of message, more specifically a warning. The warning says, 'Warning: Low Battery. Please plug into charger immediately.' which is something that she doesn't want to see right about now.

Serena face palmed herself. She was thinking how she could have been so stupid about this.

At that moment, she closed her tablet and then placed it inside her back pack once again, after taking it out just a few moments ago. She remembered now that she forgot to charge her tablet before actually heading out, since she used it last night before she slept. To be honest, this was her own fault in the first place, she just forgot to charge it and now look, she is suffering from her mistakes in a way, when she needed it the most, she then doesn't have what she wanted, which made things even more problematic, since she now didn't have any options of how to find her way.

Serena then picked up her back pack and then placed it gently on her back. She then went over to a town map, which was being displayed by a glass case just across the square. Looking for where she was at this point, she scanned through the whole map first and took the time to find out where the school actually was. After a few minutes, she then spotted where the location of the school is in the map and then took a little more time to find where she was currently.

Serena mumbled to herself, complaining about the distance that she had to walk in order to get to the school, not only that, she knew that if she walked this distance, she is going to be late, and that is kind of an embarrassing thing for her, since it was her first day to that school after all, so it would be kind of awkward walking in late with everyone just looking at her with disappointment, which she didn't want to think about anymore. All she wanted to thing about was how she was going to get there quick enough that she isn't going to be late, which is either she is going to run or do something else…

"You look lost." A girl approached Serena quite cautiously. "Mind if I help you out?"

At that moment, Serena jumped a bit, startled at who just spoke to her. She didn't really expect anyone to be behind her, but then she immediately looked at who actually asked her that question. Upon turning around, Serena saw this girl standing in front of her. Serena immediately looked at her, recognised that she had brown eyes and hair, and that she was about the same age as Serena as well as the same height. Looking at her clothes, Serena then saw that she was wearing a mix of red and white outfit, which Serena thought suited her in a way.

The girl smiled. "Hey, sorry to scare you like that. So, as I said, you look like you're a bit lost, am I right?"

Serena nodded. "Yeah… um… I was wondering if you could help me out…"

"Of course I can! I know this town like it's the back of my hand!" The girl responded. "Oh yeah, the name's Lyra by the way."

Serena smiled. "Oh, thanks Lyra. The name is Serena."

"So, where would you want to get to?" Lyra asked politely.

"Well, I want to get to the high school here?" Serena immediately responded. "Do you think you could point where the way might be?"

Lyra nodded. "Actually Serena, I would be glad to take you there myself."

"Oh, I don't want to bother you that much, so there's no need for you to personally take me there." Serena explained shyly.

Lyra smiled. "No, no. It's not a bother at all, since I go to that school anyway."

Serena smiled. "Really? You would do that?"

"But we have to hurry if we don't want to late, since school will start in fifteen minutes." Lyra mentioned. "But don't worry; I have a short-cut."

Serena smiled. "All right then, let's go."

At that point, Serena and Lyra then set off to the school, with Serena definitely following Lyra, since Lyra knew where to go with that shortcut of hers. Serena felt kind of comfortable around her, since she recognised that she could trust Lyra, not just as a person, but also like a friend, as she was trying to help out her even though they had just met. Serena thinks that she already made a friend…

Interestingly, the short-cut that they were taking was not what Serena was expecting. Normally, Serena understood what a short cut was and how it's kind of hidden or something along those lines, but then they were walking in a standard path that normally seen in anywhere of her old town. To be honest, they were walking along in a standard path right now with kind of nice scenery around them whilst they were on the way to the school.

Lyra looked back at Serena. "Hey Serena, can I just ask, are you new to this school?"

Serena smiled. "Oh, yeah I am. It's going to be my first day today."

"Really? Oh, that's great!" Lyra replied quite happily. "It's been a while since we have a transferee."

Serena smiled. "Yeah, I just moved house just a few days ago, and now I'm joining your school."

Lyra smiled. "I'm actually happy about having a new person to our school. Just you wait, you'll meet a lot of people when we get to school, so you're gonna make new friends here! Definitely!"

"Yeah… friends…" Serena muttered, almost silent. "They're great…"

Lyra raised her eyebrow quizzically. "Hey Serena, what's wrong? Why do you look so down all of a sudden?"

Serena shook your head. "Oh, nothing's wrong Lyra. Don't worry about it."

"What is it, Serena?" Lyra spoke with concern. "What's bothering you?"

Serena looked down. "Well… I… I~"

Lyra smiled. "You know what Serena, don't worry about it. I feel bad asking you about that. Just forget about the whole thing and move on, since I don't want to make you feel bad like that."

Serena smiled. "Thanks for your concern, Lyra. You're right about just forgetting the whole thing, since it was going to bother me."

Lyra smiled. "Don't worry about it, Serena. I'm doing this, since I'm your friend."

To be honest, this was the point where Serena actually felt better about herself, since she hasn't really trusted anyone for a while, since that incident happened to her in her old school. She couldn't believe how someone, who was actually just someone who Serena met and then just helping her, now is concern about her and then about how she was now her friend.

This really touched Serena's heart, since Serena had a terrible past and then now something has happened to her, something that is not against her, something that she has not experienced before. She has gained something, she has gained a friend. Lyra. She was going to remember that name, especially when she gets to the school.

Lyra turned to look at Serena. "Hey Serena, look at what's up ahead. It's Pokémon High."

As they walked towards the school again, they then see the school, the school where a new start will happen for Serena.

'Well, this is going to be a new start for me.' Serena thought. 'But, it's already started.'
