Hey There, Everyone! Welcome...Er...Welcome Back? At Least, I'd Hope I Have Returning Readers! I'm Back With The Final Phase Of The ULTIMATE QUEST VERSE. Yes. Final. This Is The Last Major Phase I Will Be Writing For This ULTIMATE QUEST VERSE, Cleaning Up Every Loose Plot Thread I Have Introduced Throughout The Series. I Feel It'll Be A Very Wild Ride For All Of Us, And Hopefully An Emotional One. But That's Beside The Point! This Isn't The Space For Me To Ramble On; That's Below!
People use to say, Vaniville town is always warm. It can always make you happy even if you are not a Kalosian. For a stand-alone town, a small and quaint with townhouse-like dwellings and surrounded by grassy, flowery plains. If one didn't know any better, they'd say it was truly in the middle of nowhere, given its lack of proximity to other Kalosian cities and towns.
But guess what? The ambiance around here never fails to keep your mood delighted.
Unless it is raining. When the environment abruptly turns around. The gleeful town suddenly turns gloomy, so its people.
It's been two days since Serena last saw the sun, now it's continuously raining. But she didn't even care much, like the rainy sky; her heart was gloomier than ever,
It was still raining... While resting her forehead on the glass of the window, she just kept watching the rainfalls; tears often welled up in her eyes... Often.
Sometimes it crumbled; sometimes they just rolled down from her eyes. Even though she tried to believe she had no amount of water left in her eyes to cry more, the teardrops just made her wrong, and it made her even more sad.
He was gone; she still just couldn't believe he was gone. She really hoped Ash would return all of a sudden, burst into her room, and would take her into his arms, confessing his love for her, once and for all.
That didn't happen.
Didn't he love her now? Most ridiculously and ironically he still did, and that was the thing that hurt her the most, he left her cause he Loved her, to keep her from harms away, to keep her safe, while taking all the dangers on his shoulder alone. Damn!
But would he ever understand that Serena would happily embrace a life for him? Even if that was for a shorter period. Rather than spending a shallow life without her beloved one, which was dreadful, a life without Ash seemed a nightmare for her, yet she just got poured into that.
Serena just wanted her Ash back, no matter what. She wanted her love back, and if death was her fate then she wanted to die in her beloved one's arms. That's it.
Knock! Knock!!
"Serena ... Open up the door!" Miette asked knocking on the door.
"Go away ......"
"Serena, this is too much... You have taken nothing in last two days... You will get sick!"
"I am fine, just go away."
"Serena... Are you sure you don't want to open the door? Especially when Ash is standing behind me, just arrived to apologize to you."
It took seconds for Serena to reach the door and open, then get disappointed.
Miette was standing there holding a tray with foods, but no sign of Ash.
"You suck Miette..." Serena said in sore tone going back to her bed.
"Well, well... Looks like my boy Serena can also use some languages" Miette replied smirking.
"Go away."
Miette placed the tray on the bedside table, then sat beside Serena quietly, stroking her hair calmly; Serena had buried her face in her pillow, so that Miette won't see that she was still crying.
"Look Serena, I know things have been harder for you, really really hard, but you just can't give up here, not like this?" Miette said to her.
Serena kept quiet.
"Knowing the fact that, he still loves you... Still cares for you, but under the impression of that stupid God Arceus, he had to leave you," Miette said, causing Serena to whimper into her pillow.
"Let me inform you one thing Serena, Ash is going to attend his first elite four trials in Alola, pretty soon,"
"Really?"
Serena finally looked up from her pillow, with a teary face.
"Yeap... And you know what happens when Ash attends any battle in depressed mode, especially without you... Don't you know that?" Miette's smirk grew larger.
Thousand miles away from Vaniville town of Kalos, in Akala island of Alola, there was also raining. In the way of Heahea City and Paniola Town, A gentle touch of nature was quite abundant, and the rain just made the environment more alluring. That way, Ash was walking throughout the whole morning, even after the rain started, he didn't care much. Pikachu took shelter in his backpack, while Ash just kept walking, silently and carelessly.
It was hard to guess what he was thinking. What was in his mind? From the day of his departure from his beloved one, the boy from pallet town turned grave cold and inexpressible. The rain just made it worse, but perhaps it helped to hide his tears if he was silently crying.
The girl he left loved him more than he could ever love himself. She cared for him, stood with him, guided him and supported him everywhere, whenever he needed it or not. She was the one who reminded him the mantra of never giving up... SHE LOVED HIM.
And what did he do in return? He left her out of nowhere, not once but twice! That beautiful angel who brought love in his life, he just ditched her heartlessly, and to suffer endlessly, was it wrong to identify him as the biggest jerkhead in the history of Pokémon world? Ash didn't know, but Ash probably would have agreed with that title.
Right now he didn't even care about anything about the outside world. He had his mission, once he collected all the Mega Plates of Arceus, he would leave this human society for good, far away from Serena, far away from friends, that is for the good, the more he stays near to her, more she gets hurt. Ash should leave Serena once and for all this time, so that she can finally move on and find someone far more better than him.
"PIKKA!" His faithful yellow buddy called up in concern from his backpack. Ever since Ash left Serena, he looked more fallen than ever, that trademark Ash Ketchum bright luster and smile was gone from Ash's face, he barely even talked to anyone, even with his closest friend, Pikachu. That concerned him.
"PIKKA?" Pikachu called up from the backpack.
Ash was silent.
"Pika-pika!" Pikachu called up again.
Still no answer.
"Pika-cchuu!!"
Silence.
"PIIII-KAAAA-CHUUUUUUU!"
A thundershock from Pikachu finally brought Ash back to reality, and it was when he looked back to his backpack.
"Pikachu! Are you all right buddy?"
"Pikapi!"
"Hold on a second, let me get you under a tree."
Ash quickly got under a dry place of a tree and opened his backpack. His faithful yellow buddy almost flew out.
"Pikapii! Pikacchu."
"Is there anything wrong buddy? Are you getting cold?"
"Pika-pika... piikacchu..."
"I am fine Pikachu."
"Piiika-piikacchu!"
"Why are you bringing that topic up again Pikachu? You saw I left her, in front of you."
"Pikapiiiii –pika-pikacchuu,"
Ash just didn't answer, perhaps he didn't want to, he just quietly sat under the tree where the portion was still dry, and sat there quietly for some time. Then he murmured,
"I shall never get back to her, ever again, so that she can finally move on, and be happy."
"Piika!" His yellow buddy whispered in utter shock.
Silently Ash grabbed his backpack, picked up all his Poke balls, and threw them all at once,
"Rowaaar"
"Gren-ninja"
"Pidgeooo-t"
"In-fernape"
"Luka-hh"
Charizard, Greninja, Pidgeot, Infernape, Lucario, five old Pokémon of Ash appeared in front of him, even in full rain they didn't look bothered, they knew the atmosphere was far more sullen than they could even imagine, their master was sad, and they were there to support.
"Tell me something guys, am I the most horrible person in the world?"
"Gren..?"
"Rowar...!"
"She loved me more than anything in this world. She cared for me like a keeper, cheered me whenever I needed that. She gave me the power to never giving up, and you know what I just did? I left her..."
Silence... All of them could only harbor that.
"And this wasn't the first time. I left her earlier too, making her cry over and over again, and that angel just keeps loving me no matter what... I just keep causing her to suffer, so tell me guys, am not I the most horrible person in the world?"
"Rowaaar..!"
"Gren- Greninja!"
"Pidgeoo...!"
"In-fer..."
"Luka-hh"
"Pika-pika."
All Pokémons of Ash replied in negative sense, but that didn't bother Ash. He just kept sitting there silently, until a drop of tear slowly rolled from his eyes.
That was the moment when Arceus appeared.
