In Hoenn...
"I can't believe I have to go all the way back here for six Pokemon!" Ash said angrily. It was early in the morning, four in the morning to be exact. On his way to the ring, he walked past Amelia sleeping on Silver's shoulder in front of a lake that was getting filled with light from the sunrise. Espeon and Umbreon were sleeping on their laps.
"Hmm...if Silver and Amelia are here, then Serena and May must not be far behind."
He went to the Pokemon Center, and, sure enough, found Serena sleeping. He smiled and sat next to her. He placed a quick kiss on her cheek and she began to stir. She opened her eyes and saw Ash staring at her.
"Ash?"
"Good morning."
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to catch Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, and the forces of Nature trio."
"Oh...how'd you find me?"
"Silver and Amelia were outside."
Shocked, Serena jumped up and looked out the window to see Silver and Amelia still asleep. She smirked and Ash read her mind.
"Let's leave them be."
"Aww...but it'll be fun!"
"If we fell asleep at a romantic destination such as that, would you want someone pulling pranks on us?"
"I guess not..."
"Anyway, I came here to ask you if you wanted to come with me. Maybe you can catch a legendary or two while you're there!"
Serena broke out into a nervous sweat.
"We're actually going to battle them?!"
"How else do we catch them?"
Serena stayed silent.
"Come on! It's something you can scratch off of your bucket list."
"Okay...but I get to choose which one I catch."
"Deal."
Serena left May a note, explaining to her where she went and woke Amelia and Silver.
"Oh...hi, Serena. How long were we out here?"
"If you left at midnight, about four hours."
The two blushed.
"Anyway, I'm going with Ash to possibly catch a legendary. Can I meet you in Sootopolis City?"
"Sure, why not-WAIT, YOU'RE GOING TO CATCH A LEGENDARY?!"
Serena smiled, jumped onto the back of Gyarados, and flew off.
After Serena left, Amelia wrote a note to May, explaining where they're going, and how they'll meet in Sootopolis City. Afterwards, Amelia, Espeon, Silver, and Umbreon left.
At Fabled Cave...
Serena and Ash had summoned Reshiram and Zekrom, and were in the middle of an intense battle, both with thirty Ultra Balls to use.
"ASH! WHICH ONE DO I CATCH?!"
"That's your choice! Dodge, Pikachu! Serena, when you think you've figured out who you want, throw as many Ultra Balls as you want!"
Serena listened and continued to battle Reshiram. She was using her newly caught Milotic and used Ice Beam to weaken it, until finally, she threw Ultra Balls. On her 15th one, she caught it.
"I CAUGHT IT!"
"Me too! Nice job!"
Just as she caught Reshiram, Ash had just caught Zekrom.
"Now what?"
"We're not done yet."
Just then, the air became increasingly colder, and Kyurem appeared.
"If you want, Serena, you can try to catch it."
"I think I'll watch."
She backed away with her Milotic as she witnessed Ash's Pikachu miss Iron Tail after Iron Tail to weaken Kyurem.
Back in Route 116...
The group of four continued on the route, not with a specific destination in mind.
"You never told me about why you were sabotaging Serena."
"You didn't say which girl was your reason for coming here. But I guess I can tell you. You see, I was actually recruited by Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket. He was banding with the leaders of the evil organizations across the world to take out Ash."
"What do you mean, take out Ash?"
She slid her finger across her throat.
"I mean, take OUT Ash."
Silver gasped, knowing that his dad was actually serious about this.
"But why did you agree to it? You're too nice for that! Plus, you'll ruin any chances of performing again if you get caught!"
"I know, but..."
"But what?"
She looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"If I didn't do this, he would take Espeon!"
Silver still had a stern face on while hearing this and hugged Amelia.
"If I ever meet him, I'm gonna have some words with him."
"Thanks, but I doubt that'll change."
"Well, I hope you think about changing your mind. If you think that your reputation is more important than the life of the champion being at stake, I won't stop you from going through with this. But don't forget, you'll have to deal with losing everything dear to you. Maybe even Espeon."
She stayed silent.
"I hope you think about it."
Umbreon walked with Espeon, listening to the entire conversation.
"Espeon, are you ok?"
"To tell you the truth, I would feel much better when Amelia says that she told Giovanni that she quit."
"I understand fully why she's doing this. If it were Silver, I'd go through with it too."
"..."
"I'm sure she'll do the right thing, for her sake and yours."
"Thank you, Umbreon."
In a Pokemon Center...
"Ok, so that should complete the Unova Pokedex. Thanks for your help in both catching them and trading with me, Serena. You should keep the legendaries you caught; you earned it."
"Thanks, but next time, I highly suggest we don't fly headfirst into a lighting cloud."
"Oh, sorry about that."
"No worries. It was kind of fun, though."
"Thanks! Do you want to come with me to see me beat Iris?"
"I can't. I promised to meet Amelia and May in Sootopolis City so we can get advice from Wallace on how to beat Lisia."
"I understand. I can drop you off there, if you want."
She held up a Poke Ball that had Tornadus inside.
"I think I can manage."
They shared a kiss, and Ash headed back to Unova. There, he actually conquered the Elite Four without losing a single Pokemon. Then, with a Unova-style team, besides Pikachu, they climbed a staircase that led to Iris.
"Well, if it isn't Champion Ash. Let's cut the jokes short and get into the battle."
"That's what I want to hear."
In Kanto...
"Giovanni, what happens if Silver persuades Amelia to not sabotage Serena?"
"Well, Cyrus, let me tell you, I'd be extremely disappointed in my son. In fact, if that's what it comes to...he's not going to like what comes next."
