I caught the first glimpse of honey blonde when my heart broke out in a rapid race, reaching out for hers. Then I caught her cerulean blue eyes and my heart ran at dizzying speed. Last I noticed the blue ribbon tying her hair in a braid, causing my heart to stop dead and faint.

My eyes roamed her new outfit. Light shades of pink and red. Tight white jeans with a rose pink sleeveless shirt tucked into them. No hat, but there was red sweater tied around her waist. White sneakers with pink accents with small red stripes. So many designs that make her even more beautiful.

Serena. The most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

My eyes locked with hers, my heart thumping.

Serena

Kaden march through the door unannounced as always. Pulling out his badge he sprouted the same nonsense he has ever since we've been in his captivity. For rehabilitation. The Department assigned him to us hoping that he would change our views of Ash.

That was three years ago.

I sigh to myself as I follow after him as a baton is pressed to my back. I walk inside, head down.

"That guy looks serious...."

"Isn't he the guy who helped arrest Ash Ketchum's associates 3 years ago?"

The words I hate hearing are said yet again. Every time the Department had a suspicion someone supported Ash they sent Kaden to arrest them.

My eyes glanced up to find glowing blue eyes. I was startled at the luminosity of them, they shone in the darkness.

I unconsciously made my way over, my hand slowly reaching up to touch the eyes' owner's cheek. However, someone grabbed my wrist before I could.

"Don't touch him!" A girl, about five or six years younger than me proclaimed.

Her words caught everyone's attention and the air turn thick with tension. "Excuse me, but that Serena Yvonne, the criminal associate of Ash Ketchum." Kaden snorted. "You don't want to be touching her."

"Don't talk about Serena like that!" Bonnie snapped. "She is the most kind-hearted person, she would never commit a crime."

"Back away from them girl!" A bartender yelled at me. "Don't taint their presence with your contaminated mind."

"I know who you are." The glowing eyes man spoke. His voice was familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. "I voted for you during the Master's Class performance."

The girl holding my wrist immediately let go, as if his words were an unspoken command. She looked down. "You're Serena Yvonne? Ah- Don't lie."

"Y-yes, I am Serena..."

She raised her head, eyes shining. "Oh my Arceus! I am your absolute biggest fan!" The men around her chuckled. "I loved it when you just shouted one sentence and the entire performance started like that!" She snapped her fingers.

"Calm down Rosarade." The boy with red hair laughed. "Don't overwhelm the poor thing."

She puffed out her cheeks. "As if you're one to talk! If Gary Oak were here you'd never leave him alone!"

"Ah, is the life of a celebrity!"

Wide eyed, the boy ran his eyes over the group until they landed on Gary Oak himself. He disappeared before reappearing right in front of Gary. "Gary? Gary Oak?"

"That's me! The famous Gary-"

"Mother-fncking!" Someone cut in.

"Oak..." He glared around the room.

The boy squealed. Squealed. "I love your work!" He blabbered. "Especially about the part where you wrote that Zoroark-" he then continued on to a long rant about Gary's books about Pokémon. Gary's chest puffed out with pride with every word. "However, you did get one thing wrong..."

Gary deflated. "What?"

"Zoroark are actually very social creatures, they tend to roam in packs unless there is a trainer nearby." He stated. "There are some solitary ones though, but they generally tend to spend time around others in dense forests that trainers avoid."

Gary was clearly speechless and Misty laughed at his expression before asking, "How do you know this?"

He grinned. "First off, my name's Trainer! Pokémon member of the Pika Gang!"

There were confused murmurs all around. This was obviously new information.

"What's the Pika Gang?" May spoke up for the first time.

The group I was standing near stood up.

"That would be us." The blue eyed teen spoke. I stared at them, trying to remember where I had seen some of them before. The blue eyed teen had a similar outfit to Ash's but not really.

"Ritchie?" Brock questioned.

The guy in question, a brunette, shook his head. "Nope! Name's Supporter."

"I'm Rocker." The blonde mohawk dude said casually.

"I am Leader." The blue eyed teen offered.

"They're the strongest team in Alola! No, the world!" The bartender exclaimed.

"Strongest huh?" Kaden muttered to himself. "Well, since no one is telling me who Ash's Ketchum's supporters are, I guess I can battle you."

"What's the catch?" Leader's eyes flashed.

"You reveal who the supporters are and who you guys are is you lose. Your real names."

"If I win?"

"I will release all the people in my captivity."

My heart beat rapidly, this wasn't the first time he's made this bet, but he always wins. He challenges the leader of a strong team to a battle, defeats them and then humiliates them. Before arresting them.

"Huh. How many people are under your care?"

"All of these people and about 30 others."

"I agree to your deal."

I startled at that. Normally he had to embarrass or taunt them before they agreed. I looked at Kaden and walked back to my group.

"But!" Leader moved towards the battle field. "Serena has to preform for us if I win." I froze. Me. Preform.

"Agreed." Kaden stood in the trainer's box, releasing a Pokémon. "Show him our power."

"Flareon!" The small, shiny orange fox-like Pokémon barked.

"The Aura chose you, Bulbasaur!" Leader threw his Pokeball high in the air.

Leader

I studied my opponent. "Excuse me, what's you're name?"

"My name is Kaden." He looked at me, a question in his eyes.

"I wasn't talking to you."

"Huh?" I moved my glaze down to Flareon.

"What's your name?" I asked. "I certainly don't want to call you Flareon."

"Me?" She stared at me in disbelief. "Are you talking to me?"

Bud stared at her in exasperation. "Yes you. He can understand us."

"He can?" Flareon stared at me. "Well, could you tell Master that I love him and I'm glad he's my trainer?"

"Sure, but what is your name?"

"My name is Silv."  She smiled. "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. My name is Leader." I grinned. "Before you ask, yes, that is not my real name." I looked up at Kaden. "Silv, that's the name of your partner, told me to tell you that she loves you and she's glad you're her trainer." I smile. "I like you already."

He glanced down at his partner. "Thank you Silv. I like that you're my partner too."

"Both trainers ready?" We nod. "Battle begin!"
