Chapter 8

The Pain she cause him part one

Serena just sat there not knowing what to do, seeing Ash walk away from her hurt her like no one ever had before. In her mind she was reliving everything that just happened, from her walking up to Ash to pikachu attacking her and from Ash telling her to leave him alone, Everything that Serena just experience she wish had never happened. Tears started to form in her eyes trying her best not to let them go only to fail, for the second time since her journey started she cry, she cry even harder then last time since she lost her first performance, but this time she did lose something even more than just some silly performance, she lost her friend, she lost her inspiration, she lost the person she cares about, she lost Ash.

As Serena continue to cry she didn't notice that three people soon started to walk towards her. Two of these people where the ones who Serena left, Clemont and Bonnie the other person was a young girl with a green hat and carrying a chespin, as they came close to Serena the young one of the group soon heard crying coming from the girl on the ground, she soon rush towards her to try and see if she can make her feel better. Bonnie soon reach her and put a hand on Serena shoulder trying her best to comfort her friend "Hey Serena everything is okay now, we were able to defeat the megalith and save Kalos so please stop crying." Bonnie said not knowing the real reason why Serena was crying. "Come on Serena at least put a smile on your face? I know maybe we could…" "I don't want to do anything! All I want to know is why Ash doesn't want to see me?!" Serena scream at Bonnie not caring any more, sure Serena was a calm person never to yell at anyone but right now she didn't care, all she really care about was the reason Ash hated her.

"ohh that why your crying" the young one said she was about to continue but her brother step in "Well why do you think he's upset Serena? Why do you think Ash doesn't want to see you? Ask yourself that question?" Clemont said in a almost wanting to scream at the girl. "Are you really that stupid or are you just putting on a face for us?!" "Clemont please we talked about this, lets just let her speak. You promised Big brother." Bonnie said trying to clam her brother the best that she can.

Serena had no idea what the twins we talking about but one thing was clear to her, Clemont was angry, she never picture Clemont the type of person to be angry at someone not even her. Serena was thinking this but her train of thought was caught off when she heard Clemont speak again. "Well Serena we want a good reason why you just decided to leave us. And go with some random person in a limo? Huh?" Clemont stated crossing his arms waiting for her to respond. Serena was now confused about a few things but one mayor thing that really stick out when Clemont ask was 'How does he know that I went with Parlemo? I didn't even tell anyone?' Serena ask herself. Clemont was now waiting for her response but hadn't gotten one yet as he was about to speak again Serena soon started "How do you guys know I went with Parlemo the last time you saw me? If I remember correctly I was the first person to arrive at the pokemon center?" Serena ask "Well to be honest we didn't know at first, but after you never show we grew worry about you, so we decided to ask around the center if anyone had seen you around. At first no one knew anything, but about half an hour some girl came into the pokemon center and told us that she saw you enter some limousine and drove off." Clemont finish telling Serena what they did that day.

"But you still haven't answer my question." Clemont continue "Where did you go?" Serena knew she had to explain what she been up to for the last five months she knew she had to but she only wish it was with everyone. " Well to tell you what I been doing for the past five months, I been training with a woman named Parlemo. She offered me to become her apprentice so I can have a better chance next year to become Kalos queen. It was only recently that I cut off the whole appreciate teacher partnership with her only for me and try to find you guys. I was on my way to Lumiose city until I saw the megalith heading to Anistar, and we'll you know the rest up till now." Serena finish explaining trying to keep it short for them. Serena soon saw the reaction from the two Clemont had a neutral expression and Bonnie had a confused one " How did you know that we where in Lumiose city?" Bonnie ask wondering how Serena knew "Well I was looking around the channels on TV and soon I saw a broadcast about the Kalos league then I saw that Ash had made it to the finals, so I watched it and saw that he won but then the attack happened." Serena admitted not wanting to lie to them.

Both siblings understood why Serena left but Clemont was still on the fence about Serena, all he wanted was a good explanation of why Serena left, but he only got a few details and after what he has been through he needed to know more. "So that's it? You left us for someone who could help you accomplish your dreams rather than your friends!? Man now I see why Ash is mad at you, that's really selfish of you Serena." Clemont started "Clemont we talked about this, and we both agree that we will hear Serena out once she came back. So please stop." Bonnie said trying to convince her brother to stay calm with Serena. Clemont had it hard trying to stay mad at Serena but with the promise he made to Bonnie it made it even hard to try and keep it. Clemont soon started to calm down but was still upset. As Serena soon saw Clemont calm down she continued "Look I'm sorry for leaving like that but trust me when I say I really try and contact you guys but it was hard. I had no idea if any of you had a phone or if you where on the road not close to any city. So I'm sorry." Serena was now teary-eyed, it was true she didn't mean to leave like that but she did and she regretted it. Bonnie understood so did Clemont as much as he hated it, they never had any way to contact each other if they did get separate or had no idea what would happen if that where to happen.

Seeing their reaction Serena kind off hope that they would accept her apology for what she did, soon Bonnie came close to Serena and have her a hug "Serena welcome back!" Bonnie said cheerfully hugging the girl. Serena was both Shock and Surprise with what was happening she was expecting them to be angry or disappointed with her, but no Bonnie was okay with her. Serena soon turn her head at the direction of her pokemon and saw them being with Clemont pokemon hugging and talking to what she could tell they where welcoming them back. Serena soon turn her head to Clemont and saw that he was also seeing his pokemon interacting with Serena pokemon, he had a smile on his face with in Serena case is a good sign. Serena soon spoke "Clemont? I'm truly sorry for leaving, you think we still be friends?" Serena ask not knowing what his reaction will be, Clemont just sighted and said " As much as I hate your decision on leaving us behind and making us worry about you. I'll be honest with you I still hate it." Clemont said but soon continue "But that doesn't mean that I can't forgive you, so for right now you are clear with me. Also I promise Bonnie that I will hear you out so yea I'm kind of stuck." Clemont joke with the last part but his words where true he did forgive Serena but is not one hundred percent with it

Serena was happy, happy to see that two of her friends have forgiven her for her actions, but yet something still bug her. It was like everything she did was pointless, but she knew why. Why she was feeling like this why she felt bug, yea she made up with her friends but she has yet made up with Ash. Ash the person, no the only person she wanted to be with right now was nowhere near her and what worse is that he was angry at her. Serena soon wanted to confirm something with both siblings but was cut short by the third member that followed them " umm hey I'm Marine nice to meet you Serena." Marine soon spoke getting the attention of the three. Bonnie soon took the opportunity to introduce her to Serena " Oh yea Marine is are new friend she is friends with Alan and we meet her during the Kalos league." Bonnie said cheerfully running to Marine pulling her towards Serena. Serena just smile and extended her hand to shake hands "Hi nice to meet you Marine, I'm Serena really nice to meet you." Marine suspicions where correct as she soon took Serena hand and shake it "I knew it you're the one from the Master class showdown, you where just amazing." Marine said almost like a fan girl that followed Serena whole career.

Serena at hearing the Master class soon became depressed because that's when it all started this whole problem for her. Seeing that Serena had become sad Bonnie took it a pond herself to take Marine to see her pokemon " Hey Marine let's go see Serena pokemon I can see them talking to Clemont pokemon so let's go." Bonnie said pulling on Marine Arm. As soon as they left Clemont turn to Serena only to see tears forming in her eyes not knowing what to do he just put hand on her shoulder and a told her "Hey its alright everyone makes mistakes, just look at me in make inventions that blow up." Clemont said trying to cheer up Serena only to fail but soon Serena said "Clemont be honest with me, how much did I mess up?" "The true or the hidden truth?" Serena just look at him "Right the real truth. Well let me say this but I want you to be honest with me, cause I feel like you own me some answers, ok?" Serena only shook her head in agreement "Do you like Ash?" at hearing this Serena first response would be denied, but seeing that Clemont was serious and didn't wanted to lie to him all she could was shake her head in agreement again. "Well that answers that question, so I'll tell you this you didn't just mess up Serena you really Fucked up." Clemont said not wanting to curse but had to, just to indicate that Serena really messed up.

Serena soon understood what she had done and now she felt even worse but she still need to know why, why was Ash mad and what cause it "why?" that's all Serena could ask. Clemont just clear his throat and continue "Well you got to ask Ash that because I don't know the answer, but I can tell you what we've been through once you left but I must warn you it's a long one?" Clemont question to Serena. Serena didn't care she needed to know why. "Okay well it all started.." "Hey kids lets get out of here and head back to Lumiose!" Clemont father said Getting the attention of Every once. Clemont just turn back to Serena and said " I'll tell you on the road." As Clemont soon started walking towards his dad. Seeing him go Serena soon started to walk too but was looking around seeing if her pokemon where following her, but saw something else he saw Ash talking to Korrina. Serena first response was too walk towards him and apologize but stop herself from going, as she continued to watch Serena soon saw that Korrina agree to something that Ash said and soon started to walk towards her direction. Not knowing what to do she just look down not wanting to make eye contact with Ash but hope that he would talk to her.

Seconds past and nothing happened so Serena soon look up and saw that Ash wasn't their anymore, Surprise by this Serena soon turn around and saw that he walked right pass her. For some reason Serena kept feeling pain for everything that Ash did to her, by not talking or interacting to her was hurting even more. Serena soon continue to walk to the direction of Clemont. As she continued to walk she soon saw that Clemont was talking to Ash not wanting to step in she just waited until they where finish talking. But soon heard something that Ash said that hurt her more "Don't worry I won't be gone long I only need to talk to Gurkkin about mega evolution and then I'll come back, its not like I'm leaving with out saying goodbye to you guys." Ash said with a cheerfully attitude towards Clemont and Bonnie knowing very well that Serena would be listening. And boy was he right.
