[Serena’s POV]

I was at home helping mom with the household when we heard loud noise from the outside, like something flying at high speed. It was followed by a loud draconic roar. I recognised the sound as Ash’s Charizard. I looked out of the window and saw him flying towards somewhere really fast. I wonder what’s the hurry? Possibly another rescue mission. I’ll ask Ash when I meet him today.

I went back to helping mom with her work. After about two hours we were all done and free, so I decided to watch some TV. My mom also joined me, we flicked through channels to find something interesting when we reached the news channels and a headline caught my eye.

‘Charicific Valley under attack’

I stopped as I continued to listen to the reporter. My mom being uncertain of me at first since I don’t really watch news, was now fixated on the screen. The news showed how the whole valley of Charizard known as the Charicific valley was being attacked by a criminal group. There were Helicopters and Charizard everywhere. The attackers were capturing all the Charizard. They weren’t even caring if the charizard lost an arm or two as they threw heavy metal nets and tased them with electric darts. The scene was horrifying to look at, blood and fire everywhere.

“Earlier this morning several team Flare helicopters reached the Charicific valley in Kanto and started attacking and capturing the Charizard. Not only that Charizard from all over the world have been acting weird. According to Professors and researchers, Charizard have the ability to communicate from miles away but they can communicate with each other regardless of distance. The Charizard around the globe had been feeling unease from sensing the danger their home is in right now.” the news reporter said, I watched it with my hand over my mouth. It was so horrible. Suddenly I remembered Ash’s Charizard. He was in a hurry this morning, was he going to Kanto?!

I was worried now, I dialed Ash’s telephone but no one picked up. This meant they weren’t home. I asked mom if I could go meet him now and she let me. I was about to leave the house when she called again. When I reached the living room, she pointed at the TV. The news had changed to a different place and was now showing the Lumiose city. The reporter had a few trainers behind her as she questioned them.

“We have just received knowledge about the attack in the Charicific valley and how the Charizards there are being Captured by the team Flare. Moreover there had been sightings of the legendary charizard flying over the Kalos region in the direction of Kanto. The trainers behind me have caught footage of the charizard flying at very high speed towards kanto. Here are the videos found from around the city people caught on their phones.”

Then the screen changed and went on showing different videos of Ash’s Charizard flying over the buildings really fast. The scene then changed back to the reporter.

“We had a news helicopter waiting at the nearby Island which recorded the Charizard’s flight outside the land. The Charizard has been flying constantly for almost two hours now. Stay with us for more information from kanto and the Legendary Charizard.”

The screen kept playing the videos from the valley and Charizard’s flight. I stood there with my eyes wide and a horrified expression. This was so bad…

I turned back and made a quick way to the door and started running towards Ash’s house. Tears had started falling from my eyes, I was worried for Charizard. The death of Pidgeot kept playing in my mind over and over again. I was scared, what if Chairzard died as well… Ash will be devastated. I can’t bear to see him like that…

My legs were killing me now, I have never been athletic, and even though I perform my legs aren’t for running for so long. At this point I wished I had a flying type pokemon. As soon as I thought of that I was again reminded of Pidgeot and Charizard. Why was this happening…?
