Pokémon High: An Amourshipping Story

Chapter 23: Getting Through

I then visited Pikachu the next day and even Monday morning before school, so I was the first one to school as I waited for my friends

"Your here first?" Shauna asked me

"Your never the first one here" Dawn added

"I just had a lot on my mind and something to do" I answered

"What happened?" Miette asked

"Is it about Tuesday?" Shauna also asked

"No... something happened between me and Ash" I answered with a sad tone

"What happened Serena?" Dawn asked

"Did he hurt you?" Iris then asked suspiciously

"N-No! At least not physically...." I answered

"Well tell us what happened Serena" Shauna said

"We won't judge you!" May added

"You see, Pikachu got badly hurt on Wednesday and Ash blames himself for his injuries. He's been isolating everyone about it and he even told me to go away when I tried talking to him about. I didn't seen or heard from him until Saturday after that, where he completely ignored me when I called out to him!" I explained

"I'm sure he's just going to take time to come around" Dawn said

"Yeah believe us" Iris added

"That's what my mom said, but so far I see no difference!" I replied with annoyance as I crossed my arms and turned my head

"Serena, just give him some time" Miette suggested

"Yeah it's not like he's your boyfriend or anything" Shauna said bluntly

"I-I know he's not! But still!" I responded

"Well here comes the others so quiet down" May whispered

"What's all the fuss about?" Kenny asked

"Something about Calem?" Drew also asked

"No it was about Ash" Shauna answered, bluntly again

"Sh-Shauna!" I complained loudly

"What happened to Ash?" Clemont asked

"I'm sure Gary knows. Hey Gary!" Trevor shouted

We all then turned to see Gary and Fiera stop themselves from walking into the school building and walk over to us

"What's up?" Gary asked

"Yeah we're gonna be late" Fiera added

"What's going on with Ash?" Tierno asked

"I already explained and their story won't be any different!" I said

I then covered my ears and everyone gave me a strange look so I also closed my eyes, although I could still hear

"Anyways, Pikachu got badly injured by two wild Houndoom on Wednesday because we had forgotten our Pokeball's. He was only saved when Neptune, in his normal blue by the way, showed up and got us to a Pokémon center" Gary explained

"Neptune saved him?" Lana asked

"That's right, but that's not the point. Ash has been isolating everyone and everything" Fiera replied

"I haven't seen him in days, he hasn't come out of his room and every time I try he responds like he'll beat me up if I go into his room" Gary added, sounding a little scared
