Ok, so, I realize that last chapter was short, so hopefully this one makes up for it? Please? :)
Serena woke up with a start, loud thunder was booming all around, and the rain hadn't let up one bit.
Ash had fallen asleep, and she still lay against him. She was still drowsy, and she fell back asleep with Ash.
Her mind closed with a single thought.
'I can't believe I'm actually sleeping with Ash.'
Pikachu was huddled in his own cave, not that far from the other one, but there was no way he could know, ever since he was separated, he had been running, non stop, he missed his trainer, a lot.
But Pikachu was tired from running, and he to fell asleep in the cave, thinking of Ash.
The storm had ended in the morning, but the grass was wet, and the trees were dripping, the morning sunlight was shining through the trees. The eerie mist was gone, and Ash could see the edge of the forest.
Serena woke up while ash was trying to get up without waking her up.
"Ash?" She asked drowsily.
Before Ash could answer, a yellow mouse Pokémon tackled him violently and accidentally electrocuted him.
"Pikachu!" Ash hugged his Pokémon tightly.
Serena was up now and out of the cave, her short hair was scruffed up from sleeping weird.
"Ash, look, it's the edge of the forest." She pointed to the end of the forest.
"Good, let's get out of here!" Ash welcomed the feeling of Pikachu on his should, he missed it a lot. He began to walk towards the exit.
"Um Ash, we aren't out yet." Serena held out her hand.
"You know you can just ask Serena." Ash took her hand with a smile.
"Now let's get Braixen to a pokécenter"
The two traveled quickly to the nearest pokemon center, as soon as they left the woods Serena used her phone, as there was no service inside. A text message on the main screen caught her eye, from Miette, but she didn't have time for that.
"There should be one over that hill, about half a mile." She pointed towards the hill.
They never stopped holding hands till they got to the center.
Ash gave Pikachu to nurse Joy and Serena handed her Braixen's pokéball.
"I'll see what I can do you two" Nurse Joy told them as her Chancey wheeled the cart into the back room.
The duo sat down, close together, Serena rested her head on Ash's shoulder.
"I hope Braixen is alright." Her voice was filled with worry and guilt.
Ash intertwined his fingers with Serena's, trying to comfort her.
"It's going to be ok, just don't give up till it's over." He said.
This got a smile and a light chuckle from Serena. She tilted her head up and kissed Ash on his cheek.
"Thank you Ash."
"This damage is severe, there is only one place I know of that could do this much, the forest." Nurse Joy was used to receiving injured pokemon from the nearby supposedly haunted woods, but nothing has ever been this bad.
"Chancy..."
Team Rocket peered in through the window.
"Looks like dat Braixen is badly hurt." Meowth told his team.
"Maybe we should forgo our devious ways while the festival is in session." James suggested. He pulled out a pamphlet.
"Looks like there is going to be free food!"
"Yum yum!" The team spoke all at once.
Ok, I said it was going to be longer than 420, and it is, your welcome :)
