Chapter 6: Something Wrong With Him and Something Wrong with Her!

She began crying. Sobbing. Her bottled up emotions finally free. She knelt down on the boat docks. Her tears stained the wood with colorless liquid, and some rolled into the ocean, making little ripples as it went…

Her pokèmon stood behind her, with tears in their eyes as well. They understood how their trainer felt. She lost her first Pokèmon showcase. She was humiliated, sad , fearful. She didn't make it past the first round. It was all because of a ribbon. Just because of one tiny ribbon. Many people didn't vote for her. Some people did, because they might've knew how it felt for something like that to happen.

The girl managed to keep her true feelings to herself just long enough so that she could let them go when she was alone.

The sun was rising, and the trainer's pokèmon just couldn't take it anymore. Just seeing their trainer in her crying state made them miserable.

"Fenn," The girl's Fennekin explained to the girl's other pokémon, Pancham. 'I think we should give her a hug.'

"Pan, pancham!" Pancham agreed. 'Great idea, ready?'

Fennekin flicked her tail three times, and with the third flick of her tail, Pancham and her jumped on their trainer. The trainer yelped in surprise, but stared at them. Directly in their little eyes.

"Oh, you guys." The crying performer sniffed, and hugged her pokèmon in return. The hug lasted for a few minutes, and the three cherished the silence.

"Fennekin, Fena, fennekin.." Fennekin had spoken to her trainer. 'Serena, Pancham and I don't want you to be sad. Are you alright?'

Serena, looked at her partner with wet eyes.

"I know what to do now. I'm not upset." Serena had responded.

Releasing her Pokèmon from her grasp, Serena took her pink backpack off her shoulder, and rummaged through it. Finding her scissors, she pulled them out. Grabbing her hair, she replayed all of the memories that had happened on her journey so far. Only after that could you see what happened.

Long streaks of honey colored hair floated in the sky, and then landed in the ocean. The deep, murky ocean.

Her partners stood at her back, astonished at what she had done. When Serena turned around, her face was bright with pure energy. She knew what she had done. There was no redos. She had started over.

~~Later~~

Everyone looked at Serena. Clemont almost fainted, Bonnie just stood there, just astonished. Ash was emotionless. It was as if he was a stationary statue.

"Serena! What did you do to your hair?!" Bonnie shrieked.

Serena chuckled. She flipped her hair, and giggled again.

"It's time for a change. Don't you think?" She spoke.

She then turned to Ash, and blushed.

"Well, what do you think, Ash?" Serena spoke, with a hint of flirting in her voice.

Ash looked at her again, and shrugged and gave a smile.

"You look nice, Serena! I like your new look!" Ash said.

Smiling on the outside, Serena had said 'thank you', but deep inside, she felt as if a million rocks had tumbled down on her, she was crushed. She was hoping for something more ecstatic, but it looked like that was not meant to be.

Ignoring the negative feeling, Serena put on another smile. She grabbed her backpack off the couch, and began running. She ran out the door and ran onto the sidewalk. Taking everyone by surprise, the rest of the group began running too.

"C'mon, what are we waiting for?!" Serena squealed behind her back as she ran farther ahead.

~~Later~~

The group was walking casually down a farm like road. Ash lagged behind longer than usual, it was as if he were Clemont. Clemont and Ash were murmuring, and Clemont was patting Ash on the back, murmuring something else to him.

The girls then looked behind them and looked at Ash.

"I think we should eavesdrop." Bonnie whispered, "Ash is never like this."

Serena nodded and they stopped walking for a split two seconds, until the boys were their hearing range.

Now eavesdropping on the boy's conversation, the two girls kept quiet.

'Why would Misty break up with me though?" Ash whispered, "I made sure she was always happy. I saw her every time I could, I always sent her letters, I sent her flowers. What else could she want?"

"Honestly Ash, Misty sounds like a jerk to me. There are tons of other girls out there for you." Clemont whispered back, "Who knows, maybe your girl was with you ever since you came to Kalos. You can ditch Misty. So just forget about her. I guess she was never grateful for what you gave her. Only a very special girl will be happy to have you."

The girl's eyes widened. What had they just heard? It was just, mindblowing.

'Ash had a girlfriend?' was all Serena could think of as she and Bonnie walked ahead.
