"Wow! Ash that was some good training you done" Serena said. She saw Greninja jump from the top of the waterfall and smash through a rock that was based on the ground. Out of nowhere a log fell from the sky.

"Ash look out" Serena said. Ash looked up and saw the log heading straight towards him. He jumped out the way just missing contact with the log. The log hit the ground with great force causing a lot of dust to swirl around the air. Once the dust settled Serena was about to go to Ash.

"Ash, are you alri.." Serena looked in the direction where Ash had jumped but he was not there. "Ash, where are you?" Serena shouted out but no reply came. A twig snapped, Serena turned her head in that direction. Nothing could be seen. Her head turned back. She jumped and saw Dave.

"Well, we meet again ey? Want to finish our session" Dave said emphasising the last word. He slowly made his way to Serena. She kept backing up until she reached the trunk of a tree. She stepped in between two of the roots of the tree and got herself stuck which brought a smile on Dave's face.

"You've just made it much more easier for me darling" Dave said as he caressed her face. "Your meant to be gone, why are you back" Serena said frightened. "I came back for you darling. Your sweetness brought me back" Dave said with a malevolent smile beaming across his face. He grabbed Serena's chest and his other hand slowly made it lower onto Serena's body.

"ASH!!!" Serena screamed. She yanked herself in fear. She tried grabbing Ash and getting closer to him but his body wasn't there. "Ash?" Serena looked to her side but only saw Kaylin. Serena was sweating as hell. She got out of bed and rushed out in search of Ash.

Meanwhile Ash was with his trusty Pokémon by a lake near the hut they were taking refuge in.

"Greninja do you think you can heal the wound" Ash pointed to the place where had been stabbed. "I can but it will leave a scar for lifetime" Greninja replied. "I guess I'll have to live with it" Ash said looking at the scar through the rivers reflection. Greninja closed his eyes and touched the wound. Ash didn't flinch but could feel pain souring through his veins. After a few seconds Greninja took his hands off the wound. It revealed a scar going across his waist.

Ash sighed at it knowing it would bring back memories of the day on when it all happened. He then looked at his reflection in the river. He stared at his own face, and few seconds he could see his face getting wrinkly. He touched his face but didn't feel the wrinkles. His eyes became red and face became more decayed. It took resemblance of Alfred. Ash lost all control of his mind as he stared into the devilish eyes.

"Come on Ash, come this way you'll like it down here" Alfred said in the reflection. Ash's eyes became blank and he slowly walked towards the river.

"Master what are you doing?" Greninja said. Ash didn't listen and kept walking slowly towards the river. He was about to fall in but Serena came and hugged him.

"Ash there you are, I was looking all over for you" Serena said during the embrace. Ash seized the control of his mind and returned to his normal self. He looked at river and saw Alfred's face disappear.

"Um, why do you look so scared" Ash asked. Serena then remembered the dream and tightened her grip on Ash. "Please I don't want to talk about it" Serena said frantically. "Okay okay then calm down" Ash said stroking her hair trying to ease her to calmness. "Well let's go back every one should be awake" Serena said getting up. "You go I'll join you in a bit" Ash. "No no no, your coming with me, I'm not being left alone again" Serena said frantically and grabbed Ash's hand. "Okay fine, I'm coming" Ash said a little curious at her actions. Serena held on to Ash's hand the whole way. "Do you want to keep my jacket" Ash said. "Oh don't worry I have spare clothes in my bag so I'll give it when I change" Serena said. She till held onto Ash's hand the whole way not letting go.

"Well Serena go change, I'll wait out here" Ash said. "No your coming in, and besides I don't mind you are my boyfriend" Serena said taking his hand and dragging him back in the room. "Are you sure your comfortable with me coming in with you" Ash said blushing. "Yes I always feel comfortable with you anywhere but you'll have to look away when I change" Serena said sternly. "I wasn't planning to anyway" Ash said sweatdropping. He walked over and sat by Kaylin who was sound asleep. He was stroking her gently as Serena changed on the other side.

"Wonder what will happen to you in the future" Ash said looking at Kaylin. But suddenly her face was becoming wrinkled and her eyes shot open. Her eyes were red. "Hello Ash, miss me?" Ash heard Alfred's voice coming through Kaylin. Ash started shaking his head and started sweating. He felt taps on his shoulder and saw Serena with a worried face. He snapped out of the vision and looked at Serena.

"I called your name 5 times, what happened?" Serena asked. Ash looked at Kaylin who was still sleeping peacefully. "I.. Don't know" Ash responded, Serena didn't convinced but decided to leave it for another time. Ash was still staring at Kaylin. "What's happening to me?" Ash thought in his head.

"Well go get everyone and tell them to get ready to leave" Ash said. Serena quickly held onto Ash. "No I'll wait for you and then we'll both go" Serena said. "Um okay" Ash said confused. Ash nudged Kaylin slightly so she could be woken up. She slowly opened her eyes and sat up in bed. "Good morning honey, well we are going to leave now so why don't you get fresh and wait in the hall for us, kay?" Ash said sweetly to Kaylin. The little girl nodded and went to the bathroom.

After a few minutes she came back out and went to the living room and sat on the couch. Ash told Pikachu and Greninja to keep her company.

Ash went to everyones rooms held on to by Serena the whole way. They soon joined Kaylin downstairs for their breakfast. "Ash can I still hold your hand, please" Serena pleaded. "Are you sure your okay Serena?" Ash said. Serena nodded. "Okay fine you can hold my hand and also we have to tell them about us now" Ash said indicating they were a couple. "Oh yeah right!" Serena said.

"Um guys we have to tell you something" Ash said nervously. Serena grabbed his hand. The group all turned to Ash and Serena for the announcement. "We are a couple" Serena said joyfully showing their hand in hand. Everyone had smiled on their face but for Miette and Tierno.

"I need to step my game up instantly" They both thought in their mind.

"Wow finally you guys are together" Dawn said. "You guys make the perfect family with Kaylin" May fangirled and squealed. "You took your time didn't you" Gary said putting his arm around Ash. "Whats that meant to mean" Ash said confused. "Oblivious ass" Gary whispered. "Huh?" Ash said with an angry face. "Nothing" Gary said throwing his arms in front of him. "Thats what I thought" Ash said.

Everyone else sweatdropped at the two trainers arguing. "Well let's finish breakfast so we can leave" Red said. With that the group started to eat their food. Serena still held onto Ash's hand which was starting to confuse Ash even more. "Well we'll see how it plans out" Ash said in his mind.

They all ate comfortably and at theirs own pace. Ash was finished with his food and was about to throw away his rubbish. "Can you wait for me please" Serena tightened her grip onto Ash. "Okay?" Ash said. They both got up and threw their rubbish away.

"Guys we'll wait outside so meet us there" Ash said. Everyone nodded and Serena grabbed onto Ash's hand. After seconds of that Kaylin joined them outside. They sat on the front porch with Serena resting her head on Ash's shoulder and Kaylin sitting on her lap.

"I really want us to stay together forever" Serena said. "Yeah you guys ar the best" Kaylin said. "Well I did promise we'd be together forever" Ash said. Serena kissed him on the cheek, it earned a blush from Ash and a giggle from Kaylin.

Back with the gang inside who were just finishing up. "Hey doesn't Serena seem a bit edgy to you guys?" Misty said. "Yeah she seems to be clinging onto Ash most of the time" Shauna said. "I wouldn't blame her after yesterday" Blue said. "Yeah it was not a place where anyone would want to be" Red said. He got up and indicated for the group to follow. They then met Ash, Serena and Kaylin outside and we're about to set off.

"We'll head straight for the pier that is on the outskirts of Kalos" Red said. "Why a pier won't we just fly across to Sinnoh?" Trevor said. "We could easily be caught and the air space is being watched because of Team Rockets aim to fine Yvelta" Blue said.

"How are we travelling across then?" Ash said. "I have a submarine that we will travel by, the journey could take 5-7 days" Red said. "Okay thats fine, at least we could be away from danger" Trevor said.

"Well we will be flying there so release any flying types that you have" Red said.

Ash released a charizard as did Red and Trevor. Gary let out his pidgeot and Calem let out his talonflame. Paul released his staraptor.

Ash, Serena and Kaylin were travelling on Ash's charizard. Shauna trevor and Tierno were on the other Charizard. Red, Blue, Bonnie, Clemont and Brock traveled on Red's Charizard. Dawn, May and Paul traveled on Staraptor and Miette, Calem and Misty on talonflame.

"Are you guys set to go" Red said. Everyone nodded. Red took of first leading the group in the direction of the submarine. He was followed by the rest soon after their take off into the sky.

"Sir, should we attack them, they look very vulnerable" A grunt said to Giovanni. "No, Red is with them so we cannot yet attack. Once Red leaves then we attack but for now we hold" Giovanni said.

After a few seconds a grunt came rushing in. He ran to Giovanni looking desperate and eager to share his information. "Sir we have tracked and found Palkia" The grunt said. "Oh, thats great. Get it under our control" Giovanni said. The grunt nodded and went to the opening where he told the person on the other side to come in. Soon several grunts came in with a large trolley. In the centre there was a fainted Palkia lying hopelessly.

"Great now activate the machine and get mewtwo to come here as well, I have changed my plans" Giovanni said with an evil smile. The grunts put Palkia in a large container with a rod pointing from the roof. A red beam soon emerged from the rod hitting Palkia, causing it to howl in pain and discomfort. Red aura could be seen flying around it. It soon stood up on its feet. As the dust settled it revealed a Palkia with red eyes.

"Excellent! Palkia you will now listen to the commands of Team Rocket and obey all things I say. Mewtwo will be your guide in explaining our scheme" Giovanni said. Palkia growled with an angry face. Soon Mewtwo entered the frame.

"You called for me master" Mewtwo said. "Yes indeed, I would like you to tell Palkia to chase this boy and bring him to me alive or dead his choice" Giovanni said holding a picture of Ash. Mewtwo nodded and went to Palkia. Mewtwo and Palkia were heard conversing in Pokémon terms with few growls here and there. Soon Mewtwo turned back to Giovanni to explain the results.

"He would like to Kill" Mewtwo said. Giovanni had a huge smirk on his face and pointed for him to go and start his chase of Ash Ketchum.

Palkia broke through the roof and soared in the direction of the ocean in which the gang were headed in.
