     "Serena's been gone for a while." Clemont nervously says. Bonnie, with a worried expression, nods in agreement. Ash slams his phone down on the coffee table. "She's not answering her phone either. Let's go find her."

-----

     Ash, Bonnie and Clemont, began running down the streets, looking for any sign of Serena. "Serena!" Ash shouts, as Clemont does the same. Bonnie gasps, tugging at Ash's and Clemont's sleeves. "Look." She points at 2 figures. 2 figures that seemed awfully familiar. Ash came closer to get a good look at them, and saw Serena, with Calem hovering above her. Beating her out of consciousness. He ran, as did Bonnie and Clemont. He saw Serena reach her hand for him, but Calem brutally slapped it away.

     The sight of Serena getting hurt made him want to cry. "Serena!" Ash called out. This got Calem's attention. He harshly dropped Serena down, and turned to Ash, Bonnie and Clemont. Clemont clenches his fist. "Damn it Calem!" he shouts. "What did you do?" Calem chuckles. "What did you think I just did? I just beat the crap out of her." Bonnie steps forward, "But why?"  she screams, holding back her tears. Calem flails his arms around. "She broke up with me, midget. I had to get her back." Bonnie grits her teeth, "By ABUSING HER!? Why you..." Bonnie lunges, only to be stopped by Clemont. "Ash!" Ash turns his eyes away from Serena, and turns to Clemont. "We'll hold off Calem. Go get Serena." Ash frantically runs to Serena, holding her in his arms. He fights his tears back, "Serena! Remember, don't give up till the very end!" He hugs her, and pecks her forehead. Calem however, had no interest in battling Clemont and Bonnie. He turns his attention to Ash and Serena, jealousy raging through his body. "Come out Greninja!" he yells. Ash had his eyes focused on Serena, and calmed down as she began to wake up. "A-ash? What happened?" Ash shakes his head, as he releases her hands from the handcuffs, and began to help her up. "There's no time, We need to get out of here." Serena eyes widened, and looked at Calem. Her hand gripping Ash's. Calem runs his hand through his hair, pointing at Ash and Serena. "If I can't have her, neither can you, Ash! Greninja! Use night slash on Serena!" Greninja comes forward, was Serena closes her eyes, waiting for the impact. A figure shadows above her, she opens her eyes, as Ash falls to the ground, lifeless.

    Serena falls next to Ash, as she let her tears fall from her fragile face. "Oh Ash." Bonnie runs over to Serena, and lays 3 pokéballs in her hand. Serena wipes her tears away, and looks at Bonnie. "Thank you." she whispers. Bonnie nods, as she takes Dedenne out from it's pokéball. "Dedenne, use thunderbolt on Calem!" Clemont takes Bunnelby out as well, "Bunnelby, use Stone Edge on Calem!" he shouts.

     Serena takes Braixen, Pancham, and Sylveon out of their pokéballs.  "Braixen! Use psybeam! Pancham, use iron fist, and Sylveon, use moonblast!" she shouts. All 5 Pokémon take a strike on Calem and Greninja. A cloud of smoke appears, and as it dissipates, reveals a lifeless Calem and Greninja. But no one cares about him at the moment. Their only concern was their beloved, dense, Ash.

     Serena kneels down to Ash, and desperately tries to feel his pulse - nothing. Clemont lays his head on his chest, tears streaming down his face. He turns to Serena, and Bonnie, and embraces them into a hug. "I'm so sorry, Serena." Clemont whispers. Serena gently pushes away from the hug, and places both her hands on Ash's cold, dead face. Bonnie places a hand on Serena's shoulder. "We'll leave you alone. Clemont nods, "We'll tell Officer Jenny what happened." Bonnie backhugs Serena, whispering, "Be strong, Ash would've wanted that." She releases from Serena, and walks away with Clemont.

     She places her forehead on Ash's, "This isn't a goodbye." she whispers.

(Author's Note: So Ash dies. Wasn't expecting that, huh? xD But don't worry, this ISNT the end ;) ~Lia)
