Chapter - 13



"WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT ASHY BOO'S PLACE!!!" Gary shouted as he saw Serena open the door, Even Salvia was quite surprised to see The beautiful honey blonde, that's  when realisation hit her hard, She was a die-hard fan of Pokemon Performances and Coordinating so she just squealed and pushed Gary to the side before going to Serena and telling her that she was a big fan and whatnot, "Do you know her Sal?" Gary asked his girlfriend, she nodded frantically before smacking him on the head and saying, "How come you don't know her Gare-Bear" in An angry tone, Gary gulped As Ash came down the stairs to his rescue. For now.






He was wearing a grey suit with a teal tie and a white shirt paired with Black shoes, he had their bags, one having his own and the other having Serena's he had their keys around his index finger, "Oh Gary you made it? Finally! I thought you guys flight was late or something" Ash said as he made it to the driveway and kept their bags in the back seat of their car, he then made his way back to everyone, "Right, You two haven't met her, Meet Serena Yvonne, My girlfriend," Ash said casually, Gary and Salvia's mouths hit the ground at that, To think Mr dense head would be living with such a beauty.






It took them a while but they made themselves comfortable and then Ash and Serena Left for school, Gary wanted to Checkup on Ash's Pokemon and so he did just that with Salvia's help, Of course, the Pokemon who knew Gary and Salvia also helped, Ash had taken Axew, Dragonite, Aagron, corvisquire & levanny with him and Serena had Milotic, Altaria and Sylveon with her, They reached school, the day was pretty calm and quiet, During recess, Ash was talking to Serena in the staff room having some coffee when the office assistant made his way into the staff room and called Ash and Serena to the principal's office, they slowly made their way to the room and knocked on the door,




"Good Morning Mr Matthew" Ash greeted, "Good morning to you two too, but let's get straight to the point, I want you to take up the responsibility of taking the kids to the School trip" He said, "Um Sir, I can't do that" Ash said with a sigh, Mr Matthews raised an eyebrow at this, How could he deny orders from the principal of the school he's working at, "What Do you mean by 'you can't do that', Mr Ketchum," He asked again but Serena also had to say something, "I can't come too" But, they could tell that Mr Matthews was getting irritated, "What we mean to say is, We can set everything up but we can't take them there one the day of the matches, I can after the first day but ash can't" Serena clarified, "Very well, I hope you plan everything out well, I'll ask Some other teacher to take them," Mr Matthews said with a sigh before signalling the two teachers to leave his room.




6 months later,




As strong of a woman Serena was, Ash's accident did affect her. A lot. He was reckless but he was always a safe driver, Faith had other ideas for the Ketchum, He was coming home from reporting this month's activities of Team Yell, The highway per usual had the evening traffic, people rushing to go home, He was sitting in the car listening to music, Cursing along at 70mph, Suddenly his phone rang, He looked down for a second, to connect his phone to the car's system, Nobody saw it coming, As how the police said, A drunken guy Driving on the wrong side of the road, T-boned Ash's car, the  last thing he heard was Serena screaming as he blacked out,






Being An Aura Guardian helped only so much in recovery, He woke up after some time with just a broken Left Arm, He was admitted at the General Hospital, but was almost immediately transferred to Rota, Serena only cared about A few things in the world And Ash topped that list, So when She heard the accident happen, she Immediately blamed it on herself for calling him, She Called Her mom and Delia, who in turn Called Ilene, who freaked out, And almost instant All three of them Were at Rota, with Ash.






Lance also freaked out and Jumped on his Dragonite flying himself to Rota almost immediately, Lance was a man of secrets and one of those was who Ash's father was,  Richard Ketchum was the strongest Champion during his reign, He gave up the position to devote himself to the Well being of the world, He was at MT Cornett and He had asked only one thing and that was to keep His wife and Son safe, Of course, Richard got the first-hand experience of seeing his son in Sinnoh, With the Arceus debacle and knew that his kid was a tuff nut to crack, So Anything happening to Ash would Bring Richard to him no matter what he was doing and Richard was close to finding Team Rockets bases,






Richard And Giovanni were buddies, the best of buddies at that, But Giovanni changed for worse, the reason being greed, Richard was better than Gio, but he never bothered about it. Until his father came into his life, Don Sakaki was the leader of the massive criminal organisation and stayed away from Gio and his mothers' life, but one day he killed his mom to gain access to her properties across Kanto When Gio was at his darkest His father came into the picture and turned him into the monster that he is today leading the same criminal organisation.






So right now Ash's health was Lances Top priority always, That was three Months Ago and Now Ash's hand was perfectly fine, Any normal person would have to have the plaster on his hand for almost 15 weeks, but Ash's aura infused body took only nine, Right now Ash was with Serena for their 6 month anniversary, Serena felt responsible for Ash's accident despite Ash telling her again and again that she wasn't, so she did literally everything or him, to such an extent that she forgot about taking care of herself, If ash tried to anything she would rush over like a rampaging torus and shout at him,






Ash thought that it was cute, but it needed to stop, Ash was capable enough to care of himself, All Serena needed to give him some company, and that wasn't possible when she was running around making things easier for Ash, She even Took leave from the school For the initial 2 weeks, when she didn't need to do it.








But right now none of that was in either of their minds, Right now it was just pure comfort in each other, After dinner, they vent outside the valley brought down Ash's new car, A Bentley Bentayga, Ilene said she would Cancel his license if he didn't drive something that was deemed safe enough for a prince and the only thing Ash found interesting in that list was this Bentley, they drove in comfortable silence, Serena was feeling especially giddy tonight It had been way too long without them going on dates and dinners, But she was on cloud nine tonight, They already decided that they were gonna be lazing around tomorrow, It was Sunday and it had been a while since they had a lazy day.




They reached home and.......things happened......things that were responsible for Serena not being able to move at all the next day leading to Ash doing all the house chores






Over the past three months, a lot had happened, Ash had to go into Full champion mode, A lot of people feared that Mode, Ash as a champion was full-on deadly, Ruthless, Cunning and Powerful, Serena had never seen this side of Ash's Pokemon, They were really sweet usually but when On the battlefield they were Like their trainer, The look in their eyes showed no mercy, They looked at their foes soul, And this attitude rubbed onto The baby Axew who is now a Mighty Haxorus who can easily tower down any Pokemon, Ash also caught a few Pokemon like A shiny sylveon and an Espeon who were there on MT Silver, He also caught back Naganadel for teaching the kids about Ultra beasts, Serena caught a Little Alolan Vulpix one weekend when they left to Alola.






Serena Actually had to go for a few master class events in Kalos as well, Eventually, The ultra guardians found out that She wasn't Selena but The Serena Yvonne, Kalos Queen, It happened when They caught Ash and Serena flirting With their guard let down, Of course, all of them got a decent punishment for Spying and not giving them privacy and that too during breaks, Ash And Serena to them were like Parents and SO unlike Parents, cool, strong, understanding and Helping, Yes Ash may be ruthless on the field but he teaches them well, The kids actually say that he could actually keep up to the status of a champion, Which Also They found out in a similar way to Serena's Kalos Queen Reveal, Kiawe and Some of the other guys were too shocked at the revelation and wanted a battle, Where they got their asses handed out, Serena scolded Ash for the battle was overkill, But she knew he could nothing about it.






This brings us to today, Monday the school Field trip to The Galar Gold mines, Serena was wearing a pair of black leggings and a white T-shirt, while Ash was wearing Silver pants and a Black Shirt, His sleeves Rolled up as he helped the students, Serena was technically ogling at him, he looked Hot, In all honest Serena was still not able to walk all that well she was still Wobbling around a bit, In all honest Ash was feeling bad, But Serena Didn't care if she had to bear with the pain for the pleasure that she gets then so be it.






Her Daydreaming was ended when She saw Lillie in her exploration outfit, As how mallow had dubbed, Standing with Mallow and Dawn, Who was giggling, "What is it, girls?" She asked, "Oh we're about to ask you about this fossil, But you were busy ogling at your husband," She said, her face went red, as she squealed, "What! No! He's not my fiancée! I mean I'd like that-" she was Curt of by heavy laughter from the three teens, 'I'll get you all next time' she thought as she turned her head away pouting, Just Then Ash called up all the Teams who found some fossils around the mine, Or at least what they thought was fossils, most of them ended up as just coal, Hence the name Galar Coal Mine, The couple didn't understand the use of a field trip to A mine, but...um teenage education...is something people don't really care that much about,
Neither do they care about it...to be honest.




IN A DIFFERENT PART OF THE WORLD WITH SIR LANCE.




Lance was usually a cool person but right now cool was not what he was, His trouble was Richard Ketchum, Who finally found out the location of  all the team rocket bases in Kanto,






Celadon City, Game centre, underground. Mahagony Town, under the tower of all things, Sevii Islands, And finally the main HQ in between Pallet Town and Viridian City is well hidden in between the Fauna, All this was good, but now they needed to get Ash Back from Galar for The Mission, Ash was not one to take credit for things he does but sure as hell almost all team rocket related activities were taken out by Ash. Richard was again asked to scout out all the Team Aqua and Team Magma bases in Hoenn






Lance was running around the G-Men HQ from place to place and office to office, Getting everything ready before calling in the Heads, Paul Shinji was an assassin and he was on the list to be called, Currently On vacation in Sinnoh after Assassinating A Criminal assassin in Alola, A man of few words, works on order and will do anything for the G-Men, Second on the list was Clemont Citron, The teams head of communications, Given a Laptop he can and will hack into anything, Although not the most athletic still packs a punch, courtesy of his Girlfriend and The gym leader of Shalour City Gym, Korrina. Next was Dr Brock Harrison, Head of the medical team, The gym leader turned Breeder & Doctor was A master of healing both Pokemon and people, He also has a keen eye and nothing gets past him, next was the Trio,






James, Jessie and Meowth, Ex-Team Rocket members brought out by Ash, Followed him around throughout his years as a travelling trainer, And now own a Luxury Food chain across the 8 regions, But they never forgot their grounds, The company, The Trio, Co-owned By Ash and The Trio, Ash owns 20% of shares of the company which directly goes to charity, 10 per cent goes to the Education of Trainers across The lands, 5 per cent goes into the PLA, The Trio being official Sponsors and 5 per cent goes into the employees' fund to help any employee of theirs in case of emergencies, finally Alain, Commander of the G-Men elite forces, He leads in any and all group operations of the G-Men Elite Forces. Final on the list was General Ash Ketchum.






A few hours later,






"Paul and Alain, I want you both to get the Elite Forces into direct training until the missions are over, This is an important set of missions and I don't want any slacking off. Understand" Lance commands, "Sir, yes sir," said Paul and Alain, with a salute before Turning around and walking out of the door, Lance then turned his attention to Clement and Brock, "You two also get some training done, We don't know what to expect when we get their bases one by one" Said Lance, The duo nodded, Clemont then Asked, "What about General Ketchum ?" He asked, "he'll Be here to train the Elite Forces but he won't be a part of the missions unless it's an emergency at least till the sevii islands and Their head base" Lance paused and sighed, "Plus he's having the time of his life with his Girlfriend, To be honest, they should just marry each other *sigh*" Clemont was shocked and Brock was chuckling, Brock has already seen Serena, Clemont was not lucky enough to meet his girlfriend, Of course, he would know who she is if he just Googled it up, "That's for sure," Brock said and chuckled, Clemont had a fierce look of determination to find out about this if it was the last thing he did.






Ketchum's Residence, A few days later.






"Listen, Serena, I'll be back in a couple of weeks.....Don't cry please" Ash said to the sobbing Serena at his chest, Ash was at the Airport, The plane was ready to take off to Kanto, His luggage was all loaded in, "Listen, Serena...if you cry like this then I won't feel like going, and I know you would want anyone getting hurt out of Team Rockets doings....right?" He asked, She finally stopped sobbing and pushed her lips onto his, kissing him passionately and soon enough it was a full-blown make-out session, After About 5 minutes they heard a cough, Embarrassed Ash and Serena pulled away, Hilda was standing next to Serena, "Hilda please Take care of her" Ash asked his friend, "Oh I'm not letting my best friends Fiancée getting hurt at all. Promise" Hilda said, Ash and Hilda were like best friends she was also Part of the G-Men but if the Unovan Branch, They were under the same command for a few years, She was A Major and Was about to switch with Ash on the Team Yell Debacle, She was also the substitute teacher for Ash, 'Lance does do his paperwork right?' Ash thought, cringing at the thought of paperwork, he didn't have assistants for anything except paperwork.






"Bye Sere," Ash said with a final hug and a quick peck on her lips before going over to board the plane. Serena waved one last time before Sighing and Walking back to The exit and handing over the keys to her Ghost to Hilda, who grinned and Sat in the car, Serena figured as much that it was a mistake and she's was never giving the keys to Hilda when she was with her.




'It was going to be a few long weeks......' thought Serena as She sat in her car looking out of the window.
