Ash was sent to the hospital after saving a girl named Serena. Waking up from unconsciousness, He saw his mother crying in tears seeing her son in the hospital in his first day at school.
"Mom? I'm fine." said Ash.
"Ms. Ketchum? Could you please come with me outside?" the doctor said to his mother.
After a few minutes, a nurse came in with a blonde girl with her.
"Thanks Nurse." says Serena.
"No problem." says the nurse.
"Ash? You okay?" asked Serena.
"Serena? Yeah I'm doing fine." said Ash. "Why are you crying Serena?" Ash added.
"It's all my fault, I should've been watching where I was going. It's because of me you're here." Serena cried.
"Serena..." said Ash trying to make her stop crying. "It's not your fault. Come on, stop crying."
"I was right about you. You're really kind, ever since the time I first met you. It was your first day in our school and on your way home, you got injured because of me." said Serena. "When are you getting released?" asked Serena.
"With these injuries? Probably a couple of days or so..." said Ash.
"Cheer up, at least my injuries weren't that major." Ash added.
"I have to go home, take care Ash." said Serena as she waves at Ash to say goodbye.
Ash was finally released from the hospital after four days. His mom picked him up from the hospital. On their way back to their house, Ash's mom asked Ash.
"How are your injuries Ash? Does it still hurt?"
"Don't worry Mom, I'll be fine" said Ash.
"By the way, a girl named Serena was visiting the house almost everyday asking if you were released. Is she your girlfriend?" said Ash's mom.
"There's no way a guy like me would be in a relationship with the most popular girl in school." said Ash.
"Hmm? It sure looked like she has a crush on you when she was visiting." Ash's Mom added.
The next day, Ash was able to go to school again. When he arrived in his classroom, all his classmates were gathering over to Ash telling him how heroic of him to save Serena.
"Guys! Stop bugging Ash! He just got released." said Serena. "Welcome Back Ash!" said Serena.
The teacher stepped in and greeted Ash "Why Ash, how are your injuries? I hope you'll be able to catch up."
"I'm fine Ms. Cynthia, thanks for asking." said Ash.
In the middle of class, he saw a girl outside waving at him. He didn't know who she was. She was making gestures telling Ash to meet her after school at the school entrance which Ash was able to understand.
"Ash, there's somethi-" said Serena as she was cut off by Ash.
"Sorry Serena, I have to go. See you tomorrow!" said Ash.
Following what the girl he saw waving at him told him to meet with her, he saw the girl waiting at the school entrance.
"Uhm, were you the one waving at me earlier?" asked Ash.
"Ash, don't you remember me?" asked the girl while she hugged Ash.
"Uhhh, What are you doing? Wait a minute? Misty?! Misty! It is you!" said Ash meeting his old childhood friend.
"It's been a long time Ash, I heard you transferred here and got injured saving the student council president." said Misty.
"You did?" said Ash.
After a couple of hours talking about what had happened to them. We go to Serena's house.
"Serena! Dinners ready!" said Serena's mom, Grace.
No response from her daughter.
"Serena!" called her mother again.
Having no response, her mother went to her room to find her crying.
Back to Ash and Misty.
"Hey Ash, Do you have a girlfriend yet? You should have, I mean your so handsome!" said Misty.
"Listen Misty, You have a boyfriend don't you? Why are you flirting with me?" asked Ash.
"We broke up... two months ago." said Misty.
"Oh, sorry to hear that, still don't flirt with me, I'm your childhood friend right?" said Ash.
"Say... Ash, would you please go ou-" said Misty before she was cut off by Ash's phone.
"Hold on Misty, Hello?" said Ash as he answered the phone. It was a number he wasn't familiar with.
"Hello? Is this Ash Ketchum?" asked a woman in the phone.
"You are speaking with him." said Ash.
"Oh good, I'm Serena's mother, could you please come pay Serena a visit if its not a bother?" asked Serena's mother on Ash's phone.
"What's the problem?" asked Ash.
"I have no idea at all, I just came up to her room seeing her crying in tears while saying the name Ash. So I took her phone and I saw a name in her contacts similar to the name she was repeatedly saying." said Grace.
"I'll come right over." said Ash. "Sorry Misty, I have to go, let's do this again sometime." Ash added.
"Sure..." sighed Misty.
Walking over to Serena's house, he saw her mother outside waiting for him.
"You must be Ash, Nice to meet you. Serena's upstairs still crying." said Grace.
"I'll go right ahead." said Ash.
Going to Serena's Room, he saw Serena crying.
"Serena? What's wrong?" asked Ash.
"Ash? Is that you?" asked Serena. "Oh Ash, I'm so sorry about the incident, I wanted to apologize and thank you about what you did that day."
"Is that all? Then why are you crying? You know I already told you that you shouldn't worry about me, I mean, yeah I got injured but I did it to save you, even if I didn't know you, I would've still saved you because that's who I am." said Ash.
"Listen, I have to go, I still have go home or my mom will get angry at me." said Ash.
"Wait!" said Serena. Serena then hugs Ash and whispered to him "Thank you again Ash."
