Chapter 11: Friday aka day of reveals.

Friday afternoon, after school. Everyone has gone their separate ways expect for Dawn who was waiting at the place for Mick to show up It was a house unfamiliar to her with a large window infront. After 20 minutes He showed up and waited along with her.

"So what did you mean, bring back the old Leonard and speaking of him where is he?" Dawn asked impatiently.

Mick remained silent and stayed staring at the sight infront of him. Dawn on the other hand was getting impatient. She was almost ready to call Ash and the others to come until she saw Leonard through the window from the bush that she and Mick were hiding in so that Leonard couldn't see either of them.

What she saw shocked her. There was a girl about her age with long brown hair and green eyes wearing a black top and skirt. Dawn figured it was his sister. But what she saw next shocked her. She saw an older woman with black hair with some streaks of grey in them using a cane trying to walk to the couch with both Leonard and his sister helping her to sit. Dawn started to cry and then turned to Mick who then started to speak.

"You wonder why I brought you here to see this? I'll answer everything now." He answered in a stoic voice.

He took a deep breathe and began his tale.

"Leonard and I have known each other ever since grade school. Back then we were just two guys who did the most juvenile things we could think of to get in trouble and for a while it worked. We then soon realized that we were meant to be more than pranksters or delinquents. So we made a pact to each other that we would become better people and help the people of this planet somehow. But that all changed one night."

"What night?" Dawn asked in between tears

"The night his father came back into his life."

He paused a for a minute and then continued.

"Lewis Sonoda or as I like to call him the man who made my best friend change into who he is today. To say his father had a drinking problem would be an understatement. He had an addiction, an addiction so bad that he nearly took Leonard and Lisa's mother away from them. Leonard luckily was able to get away and call the cops to get Lewis arrested. But after that night Diana their mother was told that she would never be able to walk again, Lisa has scars on her neck from the abuse of that night and Leonard... who's trying day and night to make ends meet for his family changed. Whatever innocence he had left in him from that night was gone. He turned into the cold, arrogant, self-centred person who you see today."

Dawn cried, she knew looking at Leonard that he was hiding something but she wasn't excepting to be this cruel or sad.

"So why ask me to help? Your his best friend, shouldn't you try to help him?" She yelled at him

Mick grunted and showed her his arm as he answered her.

"I tried, but he won't listen. We fought and he broke my arm once, so trying again would be hazardous to my health. Then I noticed something the other day at the prom meeting the way you were looking at him, and when he met up with me after the two of you had your little accident in the hallway he smiled for the first time in a long time and not one of those sarcastic smiles."

"So what are you asking me to do Mick?" Dawn said as she was wiping her tears.

"I want you to help him find his heart again, make him whole and show him that the stigma of that night doesn't need to keep following him. I know if you do that the old him will be back and better than before all this happened." Mick admitted to her.

Dawn took a minute to consider her options. True Leonard was a handsome boy but what if she was getting played. What if everything was a plan to humiliate her just because of her crush on him? It would be the end of her. Then again she thought what possible reason would Mick have to bring her here and lie?

"Okay Mick, I'm in but I'm warning you If this was all a plan to humiliate me infront everyone I love and care about then all my friends will be coming after you and make you and Leonard wish you were both never born." She warned him.

"Ooh feisty, I like it. Yes I understand what will happen if you think we're making the whole thing up." He repiled.

Dawn then shook his hand and left the area, leaving Mick alone in his thoughts.

"Look Arceus or whoever you are responsible for creating both people and pokemon. I don't ask a lot from you, you and I have never had the best of terms relationship but I come to you now in my hour of need please let this plan be successful all I want is to see my best friend be back to the way he was before he changed."

Mick took one last look in the window and started the walk back to his house whistling a tune to a song he knew from his youth.


Tommy was at home on his ps3 playing his favourite game: Tales of Symphonia. He liked it because one of the main characters named Genis reminded him a lot of himself. He liked that he could do magic and took risks when he had to but most of all the bond of friendship between the other 7 playable characters and Genis is what made Tommy like Genis more than them. He was about to face the final boss when he heard a knock on his door.

"Come in" he told the person behind the door.

The door opened to reveal his mother.

"Sorry to bother you honey, I know you said you didn't want to be disturbed."

"It's okay mom, what's up? Is it the stove again?" he teased her.

"No, not this time gosh break the grill one time and both of you keep laughing about it, Anyway there's actually someone waiting outside for you." She answered him.

"Who?" He asked curiously

"A girl."

"A girl? Umm okay tell them I'll be out in a minute." He answered.

His mom nodded and closed his door. He saved the game and turned off his ps3 vowing next time to finally defeat the final boss. He got up and put on a white t-shirt and went outside. He wondered who it was though. He remembered that all of the girls said they were busy so it couldn't possible be them. As he went to open the door he saw his mother watching TV. He then opened the door to see the person in question.

"Jesse! What are you doing here? Actually better question how did you find where I live?"

Jesse paused for a second and then pulled out a thick black case from her pocket and handed it to Tommy. Tommy smacked himself in the face after he realized what it was infront of him.

"My sunglasses! I've been looking all over for these, where did you find them?"

"I'll tell you on one condition: let's go to the park."

Tommy nervously agreed and grabbed his coat and headed to the park with Jesse. Once there they sat on the park bench looking at two children playing in the sandbox. They were looking at them until Tommy broke the silence.

"You still haven't answered my questions."

Jesse smiled sheepishly.

"Well which question first?"

"Lets start with my glasses, where were did you find them?"

"Well I was in the office helping Mr. Oak set up for the council meeting last week, We finished early and he told me to organize the lost and found. As you know whatever items aren't claimed at the end of the month are donated to charity. So there I was cleaning it and the case dropped on my foot. I opened it and Mr. Oak walked by and told me that they were yours and I should return it to you."

"Heh, well I guess that answers that question. So how did you find where I live?"

"Your Dad, I went by the restaurant to see if you were there but then he told me you were at home with your mom. He also assumed that I was your girlfriend, so he gave me the address and well here we are now."

Tommy chuckled and mumbled idiot under his breath so Jesse couldn't hear him. She then spoke again.

"So, since I've answered your questions can you answer one for me?" Jesse asked

"Sure, as long as it isn't why does the stove keep breaking when my mom uses it because I don't know where to even begin to answer that question." He joked

The two of them laughed before Jesse regained her composure and resumed to asking her question.

"Why did you lie to your friends about having a date today? And before you ask how I know it was because I overheard you and Gary talking when I was coming out of the bathroom."

Tommy looked at the ground and answered.

"Promise me you won't laugh." He asked her

Jesse nodded as Tommy took a deep breathe and spoke.

"I actually had a date today with someone, but at the last moment she messaged me saying that she had to cancel due to something important and when I ask if she could reschedule it for another time she said she couldn't and then we had to move guys night to Tuesday and I didn't feel like playing with the others so I lied and said I was busy today." He admitted as he looked at the ground.

Jesse moved closer to Tommy and wrapped him her arms around him surprising him and caused him to blush a little.

"Know what I think? I think that whoever that girl was doesn't know what kind of special guy you are if she didn't want to go on a date with you then it's her loss, If it was me I would give you a chance." She said sweetly as she put her head on his shoulder.

Tommy was a bit taken back at what Jesse had just said to him and how she was acting. True he thought she was cute but for a moment the way she was talking sounded like that if she liked him. He wouldn't bother asking her now, they just sat in the park until the sun was starting to set and then walked back to Tommy's house.


May was at a restaurant with Selina on their date as payment for saving Selina that night in the park. They were having a good time getting to know each other.

"So tell me about your family." May asked.

"I have a sister Ally, but she's away at boarding school. She's studying to become a film director. She really likes movies so that's why she's studying that. Then there's my brother Stephen. He's at pilot school studying to become a pilot. I'm the youngest who still lives with mom who you met that night. She's an interior designer, and my dad is a businessman, but what about your family?" Selina asked.

"My little brother Max is annoying twat but I love him nonetheless, My Dad is a former gym leader turned regular guy and my mom is a concierge at a hotel in Viridian City."

"Sounds fun, Can I meet them one day so I can thank them for giving birth to you?"

"Sure, just name the time and date and I can make it happen."

The two of them smiled at each other and continued talking about various things such as their favourite colour, song, movie, things that siblings did that annoyed them the most etc... Finally the end of the night came and they arrived at Selina's door.

"I had a really nice time tonight." May said with a smile.

"Me too, thanks." Selina repiled.

May smiled at Selina and walked off before Selina called to her.

"You forgot one thing."

Selina kissed May on the cheek and then headed inside her house leaving a very giddy May who skipped down the street on her way home.


Brock was at home watching TV after finally putting all of his brothers and sisters to bed. As he was sitting there watching there was a knock on the door.

"Mom and Dad aren't coming back until next week so who could it be at this hour?"

He got up and opened the door to reveal the person behind it.

"Well hello there... Lucy."

Lucy was an old acquaintance of Brock. They had met when he and Ash, May and Max were challenging the Kanto Battle frontier brains. Surprisingly she was the only girl who didn't reject Brock's advances. She was wearing a purple shirt and pants combo.

"What are you doing here this late?" he asked suspiciously.

"I got locked out of my apartment because my roommate is too heavily drunk from the party we went to and I forgot my key. Then I remembered that you lived around here and thought you would be home."

"So you need a place to stay tonight?"

"If you please" she asked with a pleading look.

"Alright, but you've got to get out of here by morning or else I'll be in trouble."

Lucy giggled and agreed to Brock's request as He let her inside. Tonight would be a very interesting night in the life of one Brock Takeshi.


Drew was at the movie theatre with his co-worker from work Amanda. Amanda was a Pink haired green eyed girl who had a unique fashion sense. She wore a blue shirt skirt combo with blue shoes. Once the movie ended they headed to the ice cream stand in the park. After they ate their Ice Cream they sat on the bench and talked.

"That movie was very cheesy, No offence." she told him

"Sorry, thought you were into those romantic comedies like every other girl I know."

Amanda pushed Drew to the grass and then looked over him in a very awkward position while grabbing his collar playfully.

"Remember one thing Drew, I love a good romance movie and Rom-Com like any other girl but that doesn't mean I want to see it all the time, maybe sometimes I want to see an action flick. Your just lucky I think your cute."

Drew smiled

"So does this mean I get another date?"

Amanda kissed drew on his lips shocking in him to glee.

"Does that answer your question?"

"I think I might need one more to be sure."

The two of them proceeded to kiss each other some more before they went home.


Serena sat infront of her desk combing her hair, when her laptop went off. It was a video call request from Clemont. She accepted the request and wait for the camera to load. Once it loaded all her Kalos friends said hi unison and immediately started to pound her with questions. Once they all calmed down they spoke.

"So what's Kanto like?" asked Calem.

"It's just as beautiful as Kalos, there's wild pokemon everywhere and the sky at night is so clear that you could see every star."

"That sounds so cool, so did you make any new friends over there yet or are we still shy as a bunneary?" asked Shauna.

Serena blushed before she answered.

"I made some, 3 girls and 5 guys. They're all very nice and friendly. One of them is in fact a former gym leader from Pewter city and another one is the grandson of this regions Pokemon Professor, one of the girls is the daughter of a former gym leader from Hoenn and she's a lesbian." Serena explained.

"You sure made some interesting friends, what are their names?" asked Clemont

"Brock Takeshi, Gary Oak, May Miniami, Dawn Hikari, Drew Hirata, Leaf Kitani, Tommy Michiba and the boy who brought them all together: Ash Ketchum."

"Well look at you hanging out with Kanto royalty somewhat, but in all seriousness we're all happy for you." Tierno joked

Serena smiled at them and thanked them.

"So enough about me, how's everyone over there?"

"Well, Professor Sycamore has gone out of Kalos to some far away region because he learnt that mega evolution is possible over there, but he sends his regards." Clemont explained.

"That's good for him, I hope he finds more pokemon that could mega evolve. But what about you guys? Clemont's letter said that somethings happened to all of you."

Calem turned to Clemont with a glare on his face.

"You didn't... did you?"

"Well that's my cue to leave now, just remember Serena. THE FUTURE IS NOW THANKS TO SCIENCE! AH AH!"

Clemont bolted off in a hurry as Calem started to chase after him. Shauna, Trevor, Tierno and Serena sweat dropped at the antics of their friends. Serena then resumed her conversation with the three remaining in front of the screen.

"So Tierno, I heard some Kalos bigwig scouted you at Le Wow when you were there with the others celebrating the completion of Trevor's Pokedex. Congratulations by the way Trevor I'm glad you've achieved your dream."

"Thank you." both Trevor and Tierno said in unison.

A loud crashing noise was heard before Tierno spoke. It was the sound of Clemont and Calem both crashing into a wall and falling on the ground. The boys sighed as they said goodbye to check on Clemont and Calem who at that point probably had a concussion. This left Serena and Shauna alone to talk.

"So you and Clemont huh?" Serena teased.

Shauna blushed a little

"Ya, it's a bit strange considering how different we are but I love him just the same. He's trying and I'm trying to make it work, So I can't ask for anything more than that."

"Ya, I'm happy for you guys. I'm sure Bonnie continues to tease him about it seeing as her goal got achieved."

"Ya Bonnie is being her usual self, except once she forced us together she ramped up the whole romance factor to 11."

They both laughed. They knew that Bonnie was a mischievous but loveable little girl and that she was only looking our for Clemont's best interests despite her age.

"So what about you? Find any cute boys?"

Serena blushed and answered.

"Ya, the first boy I met here. Ash Ketchum."

"Oooh spill all the details, I wanna know."

"Well I met him the day I started at school, the principal handpicked him to show me around and ever since then we've been close."

"Sounds like you've fallen for him."

"Ya I have fallen for him, he's just so amazing, positive, friendly, athletic and has a never give up attitude, But I don't think he feels the same way."

"Just give him time, I mean it took Clemont time to give us a chance and considering how dense he was about the whole concept of romance and even with Calem and Evelyn then I'm sure you'll get your happily ever after with Ash."

"You know, you should write a motivational book."

"Nah, I'll leave books to Professor Sycamore and Trevor, If I wrote a book it'd probably just be filled with really random suggestions."

The two of them laughed before another crash was heard. This time it was Trevor and Tierno on the floor with Clemont and Calem still on the floor. Shauna looked over and sighed.

"I better go, If I don't get these goofs off the floor then they'll be there all night and complain tomorrow about how I left them on the floor. See ya Girl."

Serena said goodbye and exited the call. She then proceed to lie on her bed and look up at the ceiling, thinking back to what Shauna had just told her.

"Happily ever after with Ash huh."


Ash and Gary were skipping rocks at the pond. Gary had gotten in trouble with Leaf to which Ash was laughing at him.

"So what exactly happened that she's so mad at you?" asked Ash laughing

"It's her time of the month and she's all moody. All I said to her was you know should stop eating or else you'll get fat and well she attempted to throw Eevee's pokeball at me and I bolted at like a Dragonite using extreme speed with her yelling GARY MOTHERF****ING OAK I WILL KILL YOU!" Gary said whimpering.

"You idiot, I may be dense but unlike you I know what not to call a girl when she's going through her time of the month." Ash joked

The two of them laughed, True at one point they were rivals who wanted nothing more to prove who was superior to the other but after the last battle they had in Johto they became good friends with a friendly rivalry now.

"So Mr. I can treat a girl right, what's the deal between you and Serena?" Gary asked

"What do you mean the deal between me and Serena? We're just good friends that's all, nothing more than that." Ash answered

"Ah-huh." Gary said mindlessly

"What?"

"Nothing, just answer me one thing I promise I won't tell anyone and by anyone I mean just Leaf cause you know she'll bug the hell out of me if I don't let her in on this in fear of my life right now."

"What?"

"How do you feel about Serena?"

Ash thought about it for a while before he answered.

"She's cute for starters, friendly she made friends with us easily and accepted us for faults and all, she's also very fashionable I think her closet might out rival my mom's closet and above all else the fact that Pikachu didn't thunderbolt her at all unlike what he did to May, Dawn, Tommy and Drew means that he likes her just as much as he likes them now."

Gary nodded as he listen to Ash's answer. Ash was like his younger brother so he knew Ash very well and only wants the best for him. He also knew when Ash was lying to him, this was one of those times because Gary knew that the way that Ash was describing his feelings could be summed up in one phrase that Ash himself wasn't even aware of yet:

He loved Serena.


Oliverqueen01- I said this chapter would be special didn't I? So there you have it the Leonard and Mick back-story. Some elements I pulled from the Captain Cold origin story and added a little twist to it. As you can see all Mick wants is for Leonard to be back to normal and thinks Dawn is the woman for the job. Tommy and Jesse look like they're falling for each other, May and Drew were on dates, Brock's past caught up with him in the form of Lucy who has appeared and Finally our favourite people. I'll admit i had a lot of fun writing the Lumiose gang scene just something about it felt good. Gary's probably going to do something big to make it up to leaf and Ash well he's starting to change somewhat. Anyway next chapter it's finally Halloween time. But enough of me babbling time for reviews/questions.

Reviews/questions

Klay (guest) – As you can see I made her Drew's potential interest, so we'll see where things go from there.

Espeon44- As you can see I've mentioned her family, whether they show up in person is something I will think about. Aria will not be in this story, maybe a future story, but for now it's just Selina and her mom.

Mixt Number XV- Of course, i'll answer anything about this story and other things just not what's the meaning of life LOL. So am I a Sokai or Sori fan? I'll say this Sori only works as a bromance to me. Hope that answers your question.

Random guest- As you can see I'm pairing her with a guy. Maybe a future story I will have the inverse where May's with a guy and Dawn's with a girl.

Amour guest- Yes yes, keep up the amourshipping stuff and all that good jazz. I will don't worry about that :p

Engel2092- Yes flashpoint confirmed. He saved Nora this time because he felt grief after seeing the Garrick be his dad's doppelganger and I'm meh on the costume. To answer your question that was decided when chapter 7 was being written I needed something out of character for may and I felt that was it. Also no it's still season 2 :p

Ooobserver- Ya like I said a lot of coffee during exams = that LOL. Ya it will be interesting to see once Tommy and Brock learn of it. The guys will have their hands full once they know of Ash's feelings.

Anyways that does it for this chapter along with reviews/questions Remember if you liked this, favourite, follow and review and if you want share it with people you know who will like it.

Until next Thursday :)
