Ash the Iron Trainer

by Mar 'Darry' Darren

It was a freak storm. One that separated Ash from Misty and Brock but not with Pikachu. And yet Ash was able to find an entire new region and be reunited with a friend that he never thought he will see again. With four young Pokémon found in a crate as eggs, Ash will take this new region and in the future, Kanto with skill and Mega Evolution!

Previously on Ash the Iron Trainer,

Afterwards, Ash looked up to see the Skiddo and Abra happily playing with his other Pokémon with Pikachu and Froakie watching over like parents keeping an eye on their children in a sandbox. Ash just chuckled that the latter two are the most mature Pokémon on his team while the others are still childish out of battle and hardcore fighters in battle.

"They are so cute!" Ash was slightly stirred from his thoughts to see Serena having her own fun with her own Pokémon. She actually had a 'Horde Encounter' as it was called that had both a Plusle among the Minun. With her Fennekin and Furfou she had caught previously, she was able to catch one of the Minun and the sole Plusle to complete the pairing. "I just can't stop hugging them!"

Ash sighed, he never remembered being like that. Pokémon aren't dolls or pets, they are companions and they long to get stronger with the help of the trainer. "I am sure but did you feed them yet? Pikachu and I have already feed our team." Ash said to get Serena's attention and she froze with a shiver up her spine.

"W-well…" Serena trailed off with the glance of Ash and Pikachu as stiff as solid steel making her nervous. "I…I just thought…"

"What do you want to do Serena? They are three things you can be." Ash said, he had a lot learned from the professor in order to catch up on how advanced Kalos is in comparison to Kanto. "You can be a trainer and battle the Gym Leaders in hopes of challenging the Elite Four and the Champion. You can also be a breeder and raise Pokémon from birth to be fully evolved. Or you can be a coordinator and try out the Pokémon Show Casing. Choose."

Serena just sat there, releasing her grip enough to let her Pokémon free and join Ash's. "I…" She hesitated, an understandable factor since this is going to set the rest of her life straight. Once she made her decision, it will hard to back down from if she realized that she had chosen the wrong choice. Ash didn't care what she wanted to do, he will be there and see Serena pull through and make it to the top.

"I want to be a breeder!" Serena yelled like a child who was pressured into making a choice which didn't amuse Ash or Pikachu one bit. "I mean it, I just want to take care of Pokémon and learn how they grow!" Serena saw their expressions and didn't give them time to speak their opinions on it yet.

"You sound a lot like a girl who found herself following me on my journey and also a lot like a gym leader who hated his job and wanted to see the world as well." Ash said and Serena found no words to reply with. "I am not substituting them with you. I just want a companion who is an actual friend, not on my journey for their own benefit. It hurts Serena and you will not like it." Ash then acted like he had been doing all this with Pokémon for years.

Serena found herself feeling pity for Ash. She had to agree, friends never need to list benefits to be friends. Being one's friend is its own reward.

She then got bold after gathering up all her courage for this single action. Serena lowered her head and rested it on Ash's shoulder, hoping it will get his attention or at least make sure he can hear her with a head filled to the brim with all that thick thinking. "Ash? I am still your friend right? I had to live my life thinking I will never see you again. I don't want that type of life again." Serena whispered, hoping that only Ash was able to hear that.

She then noticed that the raven haired trainer turned into her direction. "I am not going anywhere Serena. I had to go to bed thinking that you never wanted to be friends with me for months until I was able to cope and move on enough to start training Pokémon." Ash said honestly, saying that he had a similar life to this blonde girl. "I just want to do it again because ever since I first met Misty, the first female trainer and gym leader I ever met, I got off to a bad start and impression. I don't want to look at you and think that you are no different than the girl who slapped him on the face for saving Pikachu from a horde of Spearow, stalked me about a bike or stole an egg from me saying that as a kid that I am the worst possible candidate for a trainer and a parent." Ash explained in a sad tone that made anyone around him feel pity and sympathy for the poor boy. "Please Serena, please don't be like Misty. I don't want to think of girls like her."

"Oh Ash!" Serena lost any and all shyness and dove into Ash's arms. "I understand Ash. I promise and I will keep it not matter what! I will never give up until the end!" To anyone's ears, those were just words but not to Ash. To him, it was a sign that he had left a very good impression on a girl who wanted nothing but to love Pokémon and travel together like the friends they wanted to become.

Later,

They were very busy with their Pokémon. Abra had finally evolved into Kadabra and learned Confusion upon evolution; Ash then scanned his newly evolved Pokémon.

{Kadabra, a Psychic Pokémon. The evolved form of Abra. It employs powerful telekinetic attacks.}

Kadabra is a primarily yellow, humanoid Pokémon. It has two large, pointed ears on top of its head, a red star on its forehead, and wide cheeks leading down to a thin snout. Its eyes are deep-set and narrow. Extending from its snout are two mustache-like tufts of fur, with males having longer mustaches than females. Kadabra's torso is segmented with bulky shoulders, a thick, brown chest, and a small abdomen marked by three red, wavy lines. Attached to the Pokémon's abdomen is a large, thick tail encircled with a brown band near its base. Its arms are thin with brown elbows, and end in three-fingered hands with white claws. Its legs have prominent knees and large, three-toed feet, also ending in white claws. Kadabra is always seen carrying a silver spoon, which amplifies its telekinetic powers. It is able to bend its spoon to use Kinesis, its signature move.

Kadabra emits alpha waves strong enough to induce headaches, and can even cause clocks to run backwards, machines to malfunction, and delicate devices to cease functioning altogether. When it has a headache, the alpha waves become unusual. Kadabra can double the amplitude of its alpha waves when holding its spoon, and can increase it even further by closing its eyes. The waves increase further in strength the more danger Kadabra faces. All of Kadabra's brain cells work in unison while it uses its powers. Kadabra lives in urban areas.

Ash then taught Kadabra Disable which literally disables the last move the target uses for the remainder of a battle, Psybeam which does damage and can confuse the target and Miracle Eye, a new one and the only Psychic type move that the dark types and allow them to be hit by other Psychic type attacks.

Fletching had also evolved, into Fletchinder and learned Ember, the most basic Fire Type attack after Flail whose attack power depends on much health Fletchinder has left and Agility which increases Fletchinder's speed by a large margin.

{Fletchinder, the Ember Pokémon, and the evolved form of Fletchling. Fletchinder flies faster and faster as the flame sac on its stomach gradually heats up.}

Fletchinder is an avian Pokémon with predominantly orange and black plumage. It has a sharp, black beak and a small, pointed crest atop its head. Its black eyes have yellow, mask-like marks extending from the back. It upper side is reddish-orange and its belly is gray, with a flame pattern marking the boundary on the breast. Its pointed wings are black with yellow tips and undersides. Its legs are also black, with sharp talons with two toes forward and one back. Its long black tail feathers are marked with two white "v"-shapes. The tail ends in two points and has another feather sticking out of the base on each side, giving the impression of the fletching on the end of an arrow.

Fletchinder has a flame sac in its belly. As its internal fire gradually heats up, it can fly at increasingly faster speeds. Fletchinder is known to hunt by igniting tall grass and swooping down on prey that attempt to escape the blaze.

Froakie had evolved into Frogadier and learned Water Pulse and Smokescreen after Quick Attack and Lick.

{Frogadier, the Bubble Frog Pokémon, and the evolved form of Froakie. Frogadier's speed is unmatched. It can climb a tower over 2,000 feet tall in one minute.}

Frogadier is a dark blue frog-like Pokémon with a light blue underside. Its eyes have yellow sclera, and it has a white bubble scarf. It has dark blue hands and toes, and white circular fingers. Frogadier is a nimble and swift Pokémon; it can scale a tower exceeding 2,000 feet in one minute, and it can throw bubble-coated pebbles at targets up to 100 feet away. It can confound opponents by leaping about ceilings or into trees.

Finally, Ledyba had evolved into Ledian. When she did, Ledian learned Light Screen, Reflect which both increase Special Defense and Regular Defense respectfully, Safeguard which temporary block any status aliments such as a burn or confusion and Mach Punch which always goes first unless the target knows another similar move like Quick Attack and has the higher speed.

{Ledian, the Five Star Pokémon. The evolved form of Ledyba. The spots on the Ledian's back are said to respond to the stars in the night sky.}

Ledian is a large, mostly red, ladybug-like Pokémon. It has two black antennae, a black neck, and a black spot in the center of its forehead. A female Ledian's antennae are shorter than those of a male. Its two eyes are large, blue, and slanted. It has four black arms with white hands clenched into fists. Its two legs are similar to its arms, but end with large red feet. Its back is red with large black spots, and the undersides of the elytra are yellow. It has a single pair of clear wings that can be folded underneath the elytra.

Ledian sleeps in forests in the daytime inside a big leaf. When the stars flicker in the night sky, Ledian flutters about, scattering a glowing powder. The star patterns on its back grow larger or smaller depending on the number of stars in the night sky. It uses starlight as energy.

Since it was too soon for the others to evolve, the rest of Ash's Pokémon learned moves themselves; Pikachu learned the new moves of Play Nice, Electro Ball, Thunder Wave and Nuzzle; Honedge learned Autotomize and Shadow Sneak, its first Ghost type move; Pawniard learned Scary Face that diminishes a target's speed; Mawile learned Baton Pass which shares any stat boost with another Pokémon the trainer wishes to send out next; Durant learned Metal Claw, its first Steel type attack move; and Skiddo learned Razor Leaf that covers a lot of area, Leech Seed, that steals a target's heath for the user to receive and Take Down which can harm the user a slight margin when used.

Meanwhile, Serena had a field day when her Pokémon started to evolve. Fennekin became Braixen while learning Flame Charge which increases the user's speed every time it is used, Psybeam and Fire Spin that can trap the target is a constant fresh fire which deals slight damage as along as the user is still fighting. She scanned it as well after learning to take Ash's example,

{Braixen, the Fox Pokémon and the evolved form of Fennekin. To defeat its opponent, Braixen combines the flame from the twig in its tail with its fiery breath, creating a massive Fire Spin.}

Braixen is a bipedal, fox-like Pokémon. While the majority of its fur is yellow, it has black legs, white arms, face and neck, and a dark orange tail tip. The fur on its cheeks is longer, and a small mane of white fur covers its shoulders and chest. Long, wavy tufts of dark orange fur grow out of its large ears, and its eyes and small nose match this fur in color. Above its legs, the fur sweeps out to either side. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw. Braixen always keeps a stick in its tail, which it sets alight using its bushy tail fur. The flame from the lit twig is used for both attack and communication.

Also she managed to get her Furfrou to learn Bite and Odor Sleuth. Her Plusle & Minun all learned Electro Ball from Pikachu and Copycat on their own. All these were to help Serena get some experience as a breeder since Ash was her teacher, giving her everything he ever got out of Brock before arriving in Kanto.

"I have got to slow down before there are too many to play with at once!" Serena said playfully while trying not to sound like she is regretting capturing so many Pokémon. She had been so busy learning about breeding and teaching moves that she never gave her Pokémon any time to just kick it back and play instead.

"If you can't then you can allow your Pokémon to play with each other." Ash suggested and pointed his thumb towards his own Pokémon since they are practically close playmates right from the start. Serena nodded and pretty soon, her new Pokémon were happily playing along until a loud sound emerged in the air, so strong that that is rocked the earth and caused everyone, trainer of Pokémon, to crunch down and hold their ears in pain.

"What was that!?" Ash spoke for the all the thoughts in everyone's heads. It was going to be something big to make that large racket and another to note is that it didn't sound man made at all, completely natural like a deeply sleeping bear. And it all came from a certain direction, of a town that was on the way to Cyllage City.

When they finally got to the next town, under the name of Camphrier Town, it happened again and the trainers plus Pokémon had to brace for an earthquake or something in other to spare their ears. "It is definitely coming from inside this city."

As soon as they entered the sound came at them even louder than before, the telltale sign of the source getting closer. And it was sticking out like a sore thumb, under some kind of cover that kept it in the shadow made by the structure.

It was a huge, bipedal, dark blue-green Pokémon with a cream-colored face, belly, and feet. Its body is composed of mostly its belly, where most of its fat reserves accumulate. Its head is large, with small, pointed ears and two pointed teeth protruding from its lower jaw. It has large, hind feet with three claws and a circular brown paw pad, and its arms and five fore claws are short.

"That Pokémon is huge alright but what is it?" Serena said and took out her Pokédex and had her turn at scanning.

{Snorlax, the Sleeping Pokémon. Snorlax becomes much too lazy to lift even a finger when it has a full belly, which then makes it safe to bounce upon.} It told both Ash and Serena as they scanned for more about this normal type Pokémon. Apparently, Snorlax is often found in mountains and forests. It wakes up only to eat and seldom for exercises. It is not a picky eater, as its strong stomach allows it to eat even moldy food without feeling any ill effects. When hungry, it is not satisfied until it consumes 900 pounds of food. Snorlax is docile enough to let children and small Pokémon bounce on its large stomach.

"It is a Snorlax alright but why is a wild one doing in the middle of the town?" Ash asked and then saw a resident nearby. Unfortunately, no matter what Ash tried to say, she just won't respond. Only when she noticed that he was looking at her, did she take out earplugs.

"Sorry about that. We all wear one of these because…" She said before that same loud racket that was definitely deep snoring rocked their ears again. "Of Snorlax's snoring. But it shouldn't be sleeping at this time of year."

Ash used one of his fingers to try and correct the sound follow in his ear, "Why? Snorlax usually sleep more than they eat."

"Sure." She nodded before getting serious. "But at this time, Snorlax just eats. It eats up our fields and it should have done that day or else we can't have another good harvest." Now that was confusing to the two trainers and Pikachu.

"Shouldn't that be in the reverse? How can a Snorlax not eating everything in your fields prevent you from another harvest?" Serena took a turn at asking the question. The woman nodded,

"That makes sense to you but not here in Camphrier Town. The soil needs to be turned up and around so that our fields can be used again. That is when Snorlax comes in." She then turned to the Normal type that took a break from snoring as of the moment. "When Snorlax wakes up, it eats up what is left of out harvest and by doing that, it tills the soil again before going back up to the mountains. But it is not waking up unless our king plays the Poké Flute."

"What Poké Flute?"

"The Poké Flute is capable of awakening any Pokémon, including Snorlax." The woman explained. "Our king owns one and every year, he is to use it to wake up Snorlax and do the tradition but that was to be done a week ago." Now that explained everything to the trainers plus one free bound Pokémon.

"Can we met up with your king? We can't just let this go on." Ash asked and the woman nodded showing just how desperate she was to get rid of Snorlax's snoring, reflected on everyone else in the town. She then, with the help of everyone else who saw the visitors and figured out based on her behavior, pointed the way to the castle that stood on the highest point of the area. No doubt to allow the residents to get a bird's eye view of the town.

It took a while to follow the directions but under an hour, the trainers and Pokémon had reached the castle and instantly met with the king or in batter terms of his title, a lord. After demanding that the king will use the flute to end his people's suffering, they learned the rest of the story. "You let a princess from a palace take the flute from you!? You are the lord of the town!"

The said ruler, shorter than Ash himself, just sighed. "Young man, you have no idea who this girl is. She is Princess Allie, she was raised to believe that she can act on her own. She believes that she makes the rules no matter where she was. I couldn't stop her from taking the flute and she said that it was too pretty to belong to me." He explained, so desperate and humble that he couldn't scold Ash for being so disrespectful to him. "What am I going to do, she will ruin us if we did demand the flute back. Princess Allie will never give up what she liked."

"But you are not giving up are you?" Ash said, making the town lord face him. "If you are not willing to do something, then I will do it." Ash said, knowing that his usual demur to this type of things are definitely going to get him inches close to a large pot of hot water.

Later on the route to the Parfum Palace, home of this estranged Princess Allie, Ash and Serena have encountered more Pokémon. Excluding the wild Honedge since Ash had already scanned his.

{Oddish, the Weed Pokémon. This Pokémon is typically found roaming the forest, scattering pollen as it walks around.}

Oddish resembles a blue plant bulb with a round body, beady red eyes, and oval, foot-like roots. Five large, green leaves sprout from its head. As demonstrated in the anime, these leaves are prehensile and can be used to scale vertical surfaces and catch light objects.

Known by the scientific name Oddium Wanderus, Oddish lives in grasslands and forests. A nocturnal Pokémon, Oddish buries its sensitive body in the ground during the day to avoid the sun and fool predators. If its leaves are pulled in this state, it will respond by shrieking horribly. It starts to move when its leaves begin absorbing moonlight, which it uses to grow. Oddish will wander up to 1000 feet during the night to scatter its seeds and find a nutrient-rich patch of soil in which to plant itself. The more fertile the earth, the glossier its leaves will be. It is thought that its feet become like tree roots while planted.

{Sentret, the Scout Pokémon. Sentret is able to see great distances by rising up on its tail. When it spots an enemy, or any kind of danger, it emits a loud, shrill cry as a warning.}

Sentret is a small, furry Pokémon with a big round body, stubby arms, and two small feet. Its fur is light brown, and it has a tail with dark brown stripes that it uses to stand on to see if there is danger nearby. It has long dark brown ears, a white ring on its belly, and white paw pads. While it is capable of standing on its hind legs, it usually moves on all four. Sentret behaves very nervously and cautiously, apparently fearing for its life. It will not sleep alone, and usually sleeps while another of its kind watches for danger. When one sees a predator, it warns the rest in its pack, and they all flee. Sentret can most commonly be found in grasslands.

{Nincada, the Trainee Pokémon. Nincada lives most of its life inside the earth and uses its sharp claws to tap into tree roots extracting nutrients and moisture.}

Nincada is a small, whitish insectoid Pokémon. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. The antennae are used to sense its surroundings, as it is virtually blind. Its eyes are black with green iris-like rings inside. Its hind legs are white and the forelegs are brown, and it has small, green wings on its back. It lives underground and builds its nest at the roots of trees. It uses its sharp claws to carve the roots of trees and absorb moisture and nutrients. It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it.

{Kecleon, the Color Swap Pokémon. Kecleon is able to blend into its surroundings by changing the color of its body.}

Kecleon is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon that is usually green, but a purplish variant has been seen in the anime and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. Regardless of its main body color, the remaining markings will be the same. On either sides of its head are yellow frills, which are connected by lines to its yellow lips and rings around its eyes. There are small ridges on its shoulders and a red zigzag stripe around its midsection. The hands and feet have three short digits each, and it has yellow soles. It also has a long skinny tail that is usually curled tightly in a spiral.

Kecleon changes the colors of its body for camouflage or to show emotion. However, it is unable to change the color of its red stripe. With the camouflage making it appear almost invisible, it can sneak up on prey and ensnare them with its long pink tongue. It lives in forests.

{Espurr, the Restraint Pokémon. Espurr's psychic energy can travel hundreds of feet, blasting everything around it.}

Espurr is a small, bipedal, feline Pokémon. Its fur is mussed and a pale grey color with the exception of its ears—which are cream-rimmed—and its paws, which have short cream socks. It has wide, annular lilac eyes with darker purple pupils. It has a small, triangular nose and tiny mouth. It has a small, fluffy, slightly curled tail. Its ears, quite large in proportion to its body, are folded- beneath them are two ring-shaped buff-colored organs. These organs emit Espurr's intense psychic powers, and said power would leak out were the ears not sheltering the organs. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw. Espurr are solitary in the wild; they act on their own and each values its independence.

{Venipede, the Centipede Pokémon. Venipede explores its surroundings by sensing vibrations in the air with feelers on its head and tail.}

Venipede is an insectoid Pokémon with a pronounced hump on the upper portion of its body. Its thorax and head are mainly magenta with black markings that consist of rings on its shoulders, a band around each antenna, and an upside-down 'Y' on its neck. A prominent ridge leading down to a pointed tip splits the top half of its head, and its lower jaw is black. It has round, heavy-lidded eyes that bulge away from the head slightly. Venipede's dark green abdomen is segmented, and it has four pairs of stubby black legs. Two short feelers banded with black extend from its hindquarters, which it uses in addition to its antennae to explore its surroundings and detect prey by sensing air vibrations. Venipede is brutally aggressive, and its bite injects a poison strong enough to paralyze large bird Pokémon.

Serena decided to catch one of these Pokémon that came from the bushes on the main route,

{Audino, the Hearing Pokémon. Audino has incredibly sensitive hearing, using its ears like radar to pick up even the faintest sounds.}

Audino is a bipedal, pink-and-cream Pokémon with oval, blue eyes. The top of its head, its back, and arms are pink, while the lower half of its face, body, ears are cream-colored, as well as its front and fingers. The patterning of pink and cream on its chest resembles a jacket. There are three digits on its hands and two on its feet. It has a puffy, white tuft for a tail. Audino has floppy ears with thin, curled extensions on the underside. It can use these ears as radars, and it has an incredible hearing ability. The feelers on its ears act like stethoscopes in that it can feel the beat of another Pokémon's heart, to assess the Pokémon's feelings and overall physical condition. The feelers are also able to determine when an Egg is close to hatching. Audino is also the only known Pokémon to know Secret Power naturally by leveling up.

Finally, they reached the Parfum Palace. It was definitely a palace compared to the castle at Camphrier Town. The entire place was filled to the brim with bushes that were hedged to resemble objects like in the magazines and these were all about Pokémon. Ignoring all that, they just wanted to find this Princess and demand for the Poké Flute.

Unfortunately, when they did happen upon the said princess who was shorter than the lord of Camphrier Town, things took a turn for the worst. Allie refused to hand over the flute, saying that it was hers and that the lord was 'too fat and too bland' to own it. She couldn't care less about how the residents of Camphrier Town had to await for a poor harvest because Snorlax can't be awaken.

She then saw Ash's Pikachu and finally made a deal with the trainers. She will face Ash's Pikachu in a Pokémon battle with these stakes; if she won, Ash will have to give up his Pikachu to her and if she lost, she will give over the flute. But when Pikachu landed a Thunderbolt which frizzles and ruined Allie's Furforu's fur, she called off the match to fix it. But when Ash protested, it was revealed that Allie was never going to give up the flute in the first place. She secretly had the real stakes in reverse sot hat she only gave up the flute is Ash lost and that Ash will have to give up his Pikachu if he won.

As Serena and Pikachu grew red from all this unfairness, Allie called Ash stupid for believing and trusting her and laughed at how she supposedly had it all in her favor. But she never counted on something like this,

"In that case, I won't say sorry." Ash then said which confused everyone present and including the spoiled princess.

"Oh? And for what? For throwing away your Pokémon in your stupid attempt to get my flute?" The princess said in her usual arrogant tone until some screams came from within her palace followed by some glass breaking.

Turning around, everyone but Ash was surprised to see a window broken and two Pokémon soaring from within. A Ledian and a Fletchinder! And in their arms and claws was a flute, a flute with a Pokéball on the end piece! That was the Poké Flute!

"What is the meaning of this!?" The princess demanded. Serena also wanted to know what was going on and turned to see Ash smirking as he extended his arm to take the flute from his flying Pokémon whom settled on his shoulders.

"Good work you two." Ash said and took out a couple small treats that his Pokémon happily nibbled on. "And don't you dare call me a cheater. After you broke your promise all because you are a princess, I figured that one bad turn deserves another. And after what the king of Camphrier told us, I figured that you will try something like this to get at my Pokémon." Ash said and as he begun to turn and walk off the battlefield, he said something that froze the princess and her maids on the spot like garden statues. "Feel free to chase after me but that will give the Pokémon in your bushes the prefect chance of getting inside your palace."

And to put the finishing touches, Ash pointed to the wild Ledyba, Ledian, Butterfree, Pidgey, Sentret, Beedrill and Fletching from the outside forest and from within the palace gardens entering via the broken window. Meanwhile the Venipede, Zigzagoon, Gulpin, Nincada, and Oddish were entering the door that was left open for some reason. "AIEEEE! MY PALACE!" The princess shrieked at the sight and begun ordering her staff and servants to stop the Pokémon from entering and ruining his palace.

This, of course, made her forget about Ash and his Pikachu and even the Poké Flute. The trainers and Pokémon just showed themselves out of the gardens, having enough of the horrible and self-centered designs. They just made their way to Camphrier Town and returned the Poké Flute to the king who played it for the Snorlax to till the fields and garden soil for another year's harvest.

They got a king's farewell from the town since the trainers can't afford to stay in town too long. They needed to get back on the road but no before seeing that the Parfum Palace was probably still filled with wild Pokémon as Ash and Serena could still see them flooding out of their bushes and treetops in that direction. They practically hear the screams of the spoiled princess who seemed to could only do so much while trying to get all the wild Pokémon out of her home. I guess that when they do good things for others, good karma is bound to happen after all.

End of Chapter 6

*Sorry it took so long but I had a hard time adjusting to a week with exams since there is barely over an hour between. So I had to study for both exams like they are on the same day. I just hope I did well enough because I worry that if I do the wrong thing, I might lose everything I got down. I am sure that you all have this kind of week sometime in your lives. I just hope it will be slower once I am finally done with these troublesome exams. Thank you for all your support!*
