Hey Guys, I'm back with another chapter. well enjoy. AND R&R

"No! Not Her!" Ash exclaimed as a look of dread appeared on his face.

"Who is this 'she', Ash?" May asked with a deceptively sweet smile on her face, also making sure to put extra emphasis on the word 'she'.

"Ughhhh….. Well, ummm….. You see…"

"She is his ex-girlfriend." Yelena interrupted. At those words May had both her hands on her hips and shot a glare at the boy.

Ash had no choice but to run before May decided to push the subject any further. He quickly fled from the scene without looking back, with Pikachu just managing to hang onto his shoulders.

Ash kept running, even when he was gasping for breath, he still kept going. He finally slowed to a jog and then to a walk, he was winded, his legs ached, his stomach cramped, but none of that distracted him from his current thoughts. He had his mind stuck on her.

Oh how he hated her. She came to him looking for help, she wanted him, she wanted this, she wanted that and he went out of his way to get it, and what was it all for? Nothing.

"Hate is such a strong word. She wasn't all bad, remember that day when you were sick and she stayed with you the entire day at the hospital." Ash reasoned with himself as he sat down against an old birch tree.

Flashback…..

"You know you don't have to stay with me." Ash reminded his girlfriend, as he lay in bed with a thermometer in his mouth.

"What kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't stay with my Ashy while he was sick?" She asked with a sweet smile, as she sat in a chair next to his bed.

"Bu-"

"No buts mister!" She scolded him as she inched her face closer to his, with a light pink blush on her face.

"Bu-"

He quickly shut himself up as he saw her face inching closer to his. He let out a quick "Ooh" before moving his face closer to hers.

As their lips touched, she gently took his face in her hands and pulled him closer, her lips felt so soft against his and the sensation he was feeling was incomparable to anything he had ever experienced in his life.

A single tear fell from his eye as he thought back to what had happened in the past.

"She was my first love, but that wasn't the case with her, I was not her first true love, she had many other 'true loves' before me". He said to himself, making sure to say "true loves" with as much sarcasm as he could.

"Pika PikaPi!" Pikachu told his trainer as he cooed comfortingly to his trainer.

You're Right! Thanks Pikachu! Who needs Rey?" He said to his loyal companion as he softly patted Pikachu on the head.

"Pika!" Pikachu cooed contentedly, enjoying the pat as well as happy that his master was feeling better.

"Alright Pikachu, I think we should head back now."

"Ash Wait!" May called out to him as he ran off. Now furious, she rounded on Yelena, "What did you do?" She demanded, her hands were on her hips, and her face was red.

"Nothing!" Yelena responded, putting her hands up in front of her.

Things were starting to get out of control as May fired questions at the poor girl, each making less sense than the last.

Since Ash was gone, Brock decided to be the 'man', he held onto May's arms, and dragged her to the bench and forced her to sit and cool down. He then motioned for everyone else to join them.

"Okay Yelena, please tell us everything that you know. Who exactly is Ash's ex-girlfriend?" Brock asked in a calm tone.

"Well…. I think I'll start from the beginning. I met her around four years ago, when I was just starting my journey." She said as everyone listened intently, May however was fighting the urge to ask more questions but was silenced by a look from Brock.

"She seemed nice at first, so I traveled with her. She was nice to me and always looked out for me, she was like my big sister and I loved her as such… that is, until she showed me her true personality." Yelena trailed off as she recalled memories from all those years ago.

"She had a ditto, which she would use to transform into anything she wanted, so she would always be able to get what she wanted. What I realised much later is that she is cunning, quick witted and also one sweet talker. After she convinced me to lend her a fair chunk of my money, she split the moment I fell asleep that night. It took me a long time in battling trainers and gym leaders just to get back the amount that I had lent to her, and let me tell you, it was quite a substantial amount."

"A year later, I met her once again. She apologised to me for running off and she gave me back all the money that she took from me and we became friends again. However, it was around that time that she couldn't stop talking about her boyfriend Ash, about how he was so sweet and such and that had a Pikachu.

Obviously, I never got to meet him then, but she would tell me so much about him that even I thought that I actually knew the guy.

Well shortly after that, we went our separate ways. I went to Hoenn to start a new journey while she went to Johto. A couple months later, she called me about how she and Ash broke up, and how she was now with another boy named Aden whom also happened to have a Pikachu as well. And that was the last I had ever heard from her." Yelena finished, as she tried to catch her breath from the long explanation.

As Ash started to walk back to where he left everybody, he tried to think of a good excuse to explain his fleeing.

" 'I saw a Pokémon run by?' Nah even they wouldn't believe that. He was cut off from his musings as he saw his friends sitting on a bench. There was an awkward silence between them as he slowly walked towards them. He knew what they were going to ask, but lady luck chose that time to smile on him.

"Hey where's Dawn?" He asked trying to avoid impeding barrage of questions.

They all looked around as they too realized that Dawn was not amongst them.

"Where is she?" They all asked each other. Ash knew it was wrong to be happy that someone is missing but he couldn't help but grin as the fan-girl was not about, at least for a little while anyway.

But at that moment, Dawn wasn't feeling happy... she was still held captive, and it wasn't a dream. The masked man still was moving his way towards her.

Her heart felt as if it would jump out of her ribcage at any moment. She closed her eyes tightly as he reached down towards her, but just as he was about to touch her...

"Hey You! What are you doing?" On hearing this Dawn's eyes popped open. She turned in the direction of the voice and he eyes widened in shock as she saw...
