Chapter 2

3rd person POV

The next day, Serena struggled with opening her locker. "Wait was it right left right? or left right left…?" the honey colored hair girl muttered.

A guy came up from behind her and said, "Right left right." He placed his hand over hers as he helped her unlock her locker. Click.

Serena had a slight pink blush on her cheeks. "Oh-oh t-thank you so much."

The guy chuckled as he opened his locker next door to hers. "Aren't you the new girl here?" He asked.

She nodded shyly. Serena took out her hand and the guy shook it. "I'm Calem, nice to meet you."

"Serena." She smiled at him. He had long black hair and wore a dark blue track jacket with black joggers and a red hat and sunglasses perched at the rim. His colors resembled Ash in a way. He carried a black messenger bag with a single strap across his chest.

"I heard you… uhh had an 'accident' with Miette yesterday. I was in line getting my lunch when I saw that happen. You okay though?" Calem asked.

Serena winced and hesitated. "mmm...yeah! i guess. I mean, i really don't care. She was kind of rude to me but like whatever ya know? New girl always gets SOME sort of attention, even if she doesn't want it."

Calem chuckled. "Ahh. well where are you headed?"

"Room 4-B." Serena replied while taking out her books and closing her locker.

"Oh sweet, I'm room 4-A. I'll accompany you there." Calem said. "If you don't mind."

Serena smiled at the boy. "Sure! This is only my second day so I can still get lost."

They started to head to class. Calem politely took her books from Serena's arms and walked with her side by side to class. Serena blushed again as she held her hands behind her back.

From a distance, Ash saw the pair walking to class together. He pouted. "Awh, Serena was supposed to wait for me to walk with her.."

Serena sat down with her friends at lunch. Misty was munching on an apple and May was aggressively indulging her food.

"Oh… my god." Dawn said.

Serena looked up from her food tray and at Dawn. "What Dawn?"

Dawn pointed. "Look. It's the Elite 4."

Serena looked up to see everyone staring at the squad. A tall guy wearing black and purple pants with auburn spiky hair, a blonde boy dressed in a light blue jumpsuit, Calem, and Ash in the middle.

Dawn pointed at the spiky hair guy. "That's Gary Oak. Professor Oak's grandson. He like, invented the pokedex. That blonde one over there? That's Clemont. He's like the smartest kid in the school. That guy next to Ash? Calem. He's more like the lonesome silent type but he's a real sweetheart. And the guy in the middle, you already know. Ash freaking Ketchum. The hottest, most cunning, strongest, and most popular guy in this whole school. Rumor is, that he's friends with the Champion Cynthia and they practice battling like every weekend or something. It's like, amazing you know?"

Serena jawdropped. "Ash? Ketchum? Come to think of it, Ash Ketchum does sound a bit familiar…." Serena thought to herself.

"So what is..like the Elite 4?" Serena asked. "Isn't that term only used for like the ACTUAL elite 4 of the Regions? Like, you know the ones that you battle before the champion?"

Dawn said, "It's like a reference to that. So think of like Celadon High as a region and they're like the Elite 4 of the Region. They're super freaking strong. Amazingly fast. Handsome. Smart. Perfect. Charismatic. Their bond with their pokemon is like no other trainer. Especially Ash. He's ranked #1 in the school for strongest trainer. Calem is second. Gary is third and Clemont is fourth."

Serena looked at Ash in awe. "And..Ash is going out with Miette, rightt? The blue haired girl I accidentally spilled food on yesterday?"

Misty piped in. "yes. but there's a rumor going on that Ash is still in love with his childhood best friend. He never got her name, but apparently they went to summer camp together for only like a week before she had to move or something. No one has heard of her before, and no one knows where she is. That obviously didn't stop Miette from pursuing him though. Miette's like the school''s best baker. She made all the desserts that the kids eat with only her Slurpuff. But she's a spoiled little brat. Annoying attitude. I dont know how Ketchum fell for her."

Iris added, "There's also a rumor going on that Miette is cheating on Ash with this guy named Drew. But there's no evidence."

May said, "Drew is a stupid kid. He's thirsty af. Like, even with all the water pokemon in the world using water gun at him, it still wouldn't be able to quench his thirst. He HAS to make out with at least one girl, like a day. It's disgusting." May rolled her eyes.

Serena thought to herself. "Some girl in summer camp huh…."

The Elite 4 went to sit at their own tables with their own cheerleaders surrounded them.

To Serena, they just looked like normal teenagers who just want their own privacy. Serena quiety ate her lunch.

School ended and Serena started to pack up her things in her backpack. Then, Calem came up to her and said, "Hi Serena." Serena looked up and smiled. "Hi Calem. What's up?"

"Are you going straight home after this?" He asked.

"mmmm yeah but I usually head to the library to study around 6. I can't focus at home because my mom likes to ride her rhyhorn from 4-7. The noise can be kind of distracting for me to do homework." Serena replied.

"Oh awesome because I like to go to the library too! It's super quiet and no one disturbs you. If you want, we can go grab a bite to eat and then head over to the Saffron Library. Is that alright with you?" Calem asked.

"Oh it's totally fine. I would love it if you studied with me. Are we going with just the two of us or is the 'Elite 4' gonna come too?" Serena asked.

Calem laughed. "So apparently everyone calls us the 'Elite 4' now...hahaha. And no it's just gonna be us two."

Serena nodded. "Okay." She smiled and blushed to herself as she walked with Calem out the door.

Some bystanders saw the two and said, "Calem making a move on the new girl huh… and I thought I was getting close with him..."

One girl said, "She's not even pretty lmao."

"Whatever. It's Calem's loss." Another said and walked off.

Serena and Calem walked to a bakery to buy some bread to eat. She took out her wallet to pay for her pastry when Calem beat her to it.

Serena smiled but said, "hey! I wanted to pay for thanking you for holding my books to class this morning."

"Don't worry about it Serena." Calem said with a smile.

The honey haired girl started to blush slightly.

They were back on the road when a pokemon out of the grass appeared. It was a mean looking Gengar. Serena screamed in fright as Calem threw out his pokeball. "Greninja, I need your assistance!"

A dark blue frog appeared out of the pokeball. "Greninja, use quick attack!"

The frog pokemon was lightning fast as it hit the foe. Gengar threw a shadow ball at the frog but it easily dodged the move. "Greninja, great job. Now use hydro pump!" A powerful blast of water came from Greninja's mouth as it hit the Gengar. Gengar used shadow ball again at the blue pokemon. It collided with water pulse and made a big explosion.

The purple Gengar, now terrified of the amazing power Greninja had, fled in fear.

"Greninja, you were wonderful. Thank you buddy." Calem returned his pokemon back in it's pokeball.

"Wow that was amazing Calem! Your Greninja was super strong, super fast, just amazing. I can tell that you two are really close and totally in sync."

Calem chuckled. "Well it took a long time for us to finally agree with each other but yeah I agree with you. Greninja is very reliable and he's gotten me out of tough situations."

"Thank you, once again." Serena smiled at Calem.

Calem looked into Serena's eyes and had a slight red tint on his cheeks. "awh, it was nothing. anything to keep you safe. Well...we're gonna be at Saffron Library in just a couple of minutes. Let's get going."

"Yes...lets." Serena said to herself as she followed Calem.
