"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence"-Helen Keller
Leaving off at Primum village, Ash, Serena, and Tessa are in the village plaza shopping area which isn't as big as a mall, but is technically a small department store. The girls were looking at the clothings as they were looking for an outfit for Serena. Ash on the other hand, was sitting outside of the store uninterested as he was thinking on the battle that happened with Zack and Kuroda. That battle sparked something inside of him that was lost three years ago. Ash took out Greninja's pokeball and looked at it reminiscing on what happened three years ago.
Flashback
Ash and Pikachu just got off the plane as they are back in Kanto from Kalos. Ash was very happy on his latest achievement in the pokemon league as he got second place which was the highest he manage to get in his journey to be a Pokemon Master.
"Well, Pikachu, we are home!" Ash exclaimed happily as he and Pikachu walked down the path towards Pallet Town.
"Pika!" Pikachu responded with a happy look on his face as he hopped along.
As the two walked down the path to their home, the two talked about their past journeys with old friends. As they got to the part when the two first met, they had reached their home. Ash opened the door and was surprised to see his old friends from every region that he travelled with in the room alongside his mother.
"Uh...hello?" Ash said smiling.
Everybody in the room didn't smile as they gave him a look of disappointment with a few giving a nervous look to him, Ash caught onto this and became serious.
"Okay, why are you all here," Ash said suspiciously.
Everybody looked at each other before Drew nodded to May who stepped in front of the group.
"Ash there is something we need to tell you," May said sternly.
Ash kept quiet as he felt like something bad was gonna come out next.
"You see, you have been losing at every league you battled in, and well...everyone here agrees on it as well," May continued.
Ash looked at the others and saw some of them were glaring at him, Pikachu soon also caught on and tiny sparks started to appear on his cheeks.
"It's time you quit, no more leagues, otherwise we will have to erase you," May said and with that, she sent out Blaziken to back up her point.
Ash looked at the entire gang with his eyes flickering blue once in a while as he kept his emotions in check.
"Right, and did you guys even thought about all the things I did to HELP you?" Ash said angrily.
Everyone but Ash sent out their pokemon as they were ready to stop Ash from trying anything.
"Ash, give it up, you are weak, just admit it, battling isn't your type," Misty said with a huff.
"Shut it Misty, you tomboy bitch," Ash gritted his teeth as he cussed for the first time.
"Ash Ketchum! No using that language in this…"
"Shut it 'Mom' you are siding with them and that makes you no longer my mother!" Ash yelled.
"Good, because I adopted a new son to replace you," Delia gestured a boy that is almost like ash but is wearing a tracksuit and doesn't have z marks on his cheeks and is a bit taller than him.
"Well, well, so you're Ash Ketchum, your 'friends' told me all about you, I thought you were weak and what they said actually makes me wonder if you are even worth being Delia's son," The boy said.
"Who are you," Ash snarled.
"The name's Calem, used to have the last name Xavier but now it is Calem Ketchum," The boy bowed.
"See Ash, your own mother even agrees, but if you agree with us then maybe we will spare you," May said.
"Never!" Ash yelled and Pikachu readied himself for a tough fight as his body sparked with electricity.
"Put your way, everyone kill him!" Misty yelled.
Just as things were turning sour, an explosion filled the room blowing up the house in two as the traitors and Ash were blinded by the smoke filled area. Ash then felt hands wrapped around him as they carried him away from the place along with Pikachu.
"What the, mph!" Ash's mouth got covered as a hand was placed over his mouth.
"Quiet Ash, this is our only chance so don't blow it," a familiar voice hissed in his ear.
The group that was carrying Ash away soon were in the forest nearby and were now covered by the dense foliage. The person placed Ash down behind a tree as Ash looked up to see who were the culprits.
"Brock, Paul, Trip, Cilan, Bonnie, Clemont...Serena," Ash said a bit awed as his saviors were some of his friends that were in the house.
"What is this, why did you help me when you guys were with them!" Ash yelled at them making them nervous.
"Well, for starters, let's try to lower our tone, also take this pokeball, Sycamore sent it to Gary telling him to give it to you saying the pokemon sensed something wasn't right," Brock said lowly as he handed the pokeball to Ash.
Pikachu was in Serena's arms as Pikachu looked at everyone who helped and gave a sad look.
"thanks , now explain," Ash asked sternly as he stood up.
"Okay, it started when you finished up the Kalo's league, most of the guys were fed up with your losing streak and wanted you to quit, but everyone here didn't agree, then it came to a threat and a plot to kill you on the spot if we didn't agree, So when you came back and everyone got tensed for battle, I took the chance to use Forretress to use self-destruction and had Paul and Trip get you out of there while Serena grabs Pikachu, and here we are," Brock explained in a low tone.
Ash looked at everybody around him and looked down at the ground with tears in his eyes as he tried to hold them back.
"Ash…" Serena muttered worriedly as she took a step forward only for him to raise a hand up.
"It's good...guess there is only one thing left for me to do," Ash said as he looked into the Forest.
"What is it," Trip asked.
"Do any of you have a piece of paper?" Ash asked.
Reality
"Ash, Ash!" a voice called out.
"Wait what, huh?" Ash looked up frantically and confused before his eyes came onto Serena and he almost had a nosebleed.
Serena was wearing a light pink top with a brand new Cardigan over her shoulders and was wearing a knee length light red skirt with black leggings and her brown boots which were somehow cleaned up and are brand new.
"Um, uh," Ash stuttered.
"How you like it?" Serena asked.
"Yeah Ash, how you think Serena looks?" Tessa asked smirking at the nervous teenager.
"It...looks...um,you look pretty," Ash said blushing.
"R-really," Serena said shyly.
"Y-yeah, you do," Ash said scratching the back of his head.
"Well then, it is official, now to look for Ash's outfit!" Tessa said as she grabbed Serena and Ash's hands and dragged them back into the store.
The three were looking around for an outfit for Ash in the men's section of the store. Serena was looking around for an outfit when suddenly a blue and purple cloud puff popped out.
"Pew Pew!"
"AAAHHH!" Serena cried as she felled backwards onto her bottom.
"Serena you okay!?" Ash cried out as he ran over.
Tessa followed Ash from beind but soon stopped in surprise as she noticed the blue and purple cloud puff.
"N-nebby?!" Tessa yelped.
"Pew Pew!"
The wierd Pokemon known as Nebby floated over to Tessa as it landed into her arms.
"Wait...I thought she was looking after you," Tessa said.
"Pew?"
"Oh Arceus, where did you left her this ti…"
"Nebby! Where are you!" a girl's voice cried out.
Tessa turned around and noticed a pale skin girl with a sailor type white t-shirt and a white skirt along with white socks and sneakers with green emerald eyes and her blonde hair tied to a ponytail looking around the plaza worriedly. Tessa turned to Ash and Serena as Ash was helping Serena stand up.
"You two go ahead and find Ash's outfit, go over to the medical center when your done," Tessa said as she ran out the store not waiting for an answer.
Ash and Serena looked at each other to Tessa and back before shrugging it off and continuing their search.
Tessa
"Pew Pew!"
The girl turned towards the voice and noticed Tessa and Nebby running towards her.
"Sis?! What are you doing here?" the girl asked.
"Okay, we are half-sisters and I should be asking that question to you Lillie," Tessa said as Nebby floated next to her.
"Nebby teleported off as I was heading to the battlefield after I heard someone saying that the two best battlers were gonna battle one another, and also, I am older than you," Lillie pouted.
"Yeah, yeah, just an age older than me, but really, Nebby teleported away after hearing about that battle?" Tessa said curiously as she gently picked Nebby from the air and hugged it.
"Yeah….but who were the battlers anyway, I know Zack was one but who was the other?" Lillie asked.
Tessa smirked as she was expecting the question and decided to have a little fun.
"Hm, let's have you guess, it starts with a K and he has been away for five years," Tessa slowly said but Lillie didn't get it.
"Um, can you give me more information,"
"Okay, the person also has a Pichu and you met him when we were both in trouble with the Aethor Paradise," Tessa smirked but Lillie still didn't get it.
"Who was it, I'm sorry I was trying to forget about that time," Lillie said now a bit annoyed.
*sigh* " Fine, it's your Crush," Tessa said closing her eyes with a little smirk as she knew she hit the home run button.
"Wait, Kuroda is back!" Lillie exlcaimed.
"Wow, took you long enough to remember your crush," Tessa teased.
"H-he is not my crush, how many I have to tell you Tessa!" Lillie exclaimed frantically as she was blushing.
Tessa snickered as she decided to tease a little more.
"Why are you blushing then?" Tessa smirked.
"...mmmmm...:" Lillie was lost of words as she turned around and covered her face to hide her blush.
"Haha, got you Lillie, come on lighten up, he is older than you, so having a crush on him is pointless, besides, he is more of an older brother like Zack is to us," Tessa said as she kept one hand on Nebby and the other on Lillie's shoulder.
"Um..okay," Lillie muttered as she put her hands down from her face.
"See," Tessa smiled.
"Um, out of curiosity, where is Zack and Kuroda?" Lillie asked as the two half-sisters stood up.
"Last time I remembered, Zack was carrying Kuroda to the Medical Center because of some after effect of some kind of battling magic dingy ma jiggy that Kuroda did during that battle," Tessa said.
"What! Is he okay?" Lillie asked worriedly.
"your crush is fine," Tessa said.
"He's not my!"
"Yeah, yeah, I get it, come on, I told some people to meet me over there anyway so let's go to the Medical Center to see if the two boys are there," Tessa said to Lillie.
"Um, okay," Lillie said.
With that, the two half-sisters walked down the path of the village plaza towards the Medical Center. As the two walked in silence Tessa just realized something.
"Oh crud, I forgot to give them the directions!"
Watching Tessa and Lillie behind a building
"Finally, I have found you Tessa, and this time, I am sure to remember to challenge you," a girl snickered from behind the building.
An Espeon jumped onto her shoulder to look around the corner as well as the two kept watch and followed Tessa and Lillie from a safe distance towards the Medical Center.
Store
"Well, do you like the new outfit?" Serena asked Ash.
Ash was wearing a black pokeball symbol hat with a white and dark blue striped shirt with black shorts and along with blue sneakers(aka male protagonist clothing). Ash looked around him and at the mirror before smiling and nodded to Serena.
"Yeah, it seems like a good fit," Ash said.
Serena smiled and clapped her hands together with satisfactory as the two bought the clothes with the money that they had when they ran away, along with that, Ash bought a new backpack as well to replace his old one.
"Okay, now that's done, we have to meet Tessa at the Medical Center," Serena said as Ash walked out the store putting on the backpack.
"Where is the store anyway?" Ash asked as he and Serena looked down the streets confused due to the lack of signs.
"I guess we better start asking," Serena suggested and the two walked over to the nearest person for directions.
