AN: HA! That's right! I'm an Amourshipper! This came out new.. Welp, I'll leave you guys to read. Oh, and review! It warms my soul..

PROLOGUE

For the first time, Ash Ketchum felt empty.

Felt...nothing.

Like a part of his soul had been ripped apart from him. But he had no idea what. It was natural, he guessed.

The raven haired boy was an adult now. Yet, he lay in his bed immaturishly like a child.

Six regions.

He traveled across six regions, his electric partner always by his side.

The last had been Alola. Nice place.

But only one region had managed to stand out:

Kalos.

He was amazed at Mega Evolution, for one thing. But with his Kalos Starter, he managed to surpass that with Bond Phenomenon. There was no doubt that Pikachu would be able to do what Greninja can...if he was a Raichu. But no. The electric mouse was perfect the way he was.

His other Kalosian pokemon were great too. Hawlucha, Noivern, Goodra, and Talonflame. They were now in Professor Oak's coral, just a few ways from where he was now.

In addition, he had rivals who actually respected him, especially Alain, even though the latter won against him in the league.

Another thing, he had awesome travel partners. Clemont was slow, yes. But he filled his stomach with delicious food. And he was the reason for his fifth Kalos Gym Badge, after all. Then there was Bonnie, Clemont's sister. A cheerful little girl who managed to make a LEGENDARY pokemon faint with a few tickles.

Then...

..Serena.

Ash unconciously touched his left cheek. Right where she kissed him.

No one but his mother had ever kissed him. And with Serena, he felt like it was one of the most special kisses he had ever recieved.

Only Pikachu knew, but he cried that night. Ash thought he was crazy for crying for nothing. He knew it wasn't his Kalos League loss. That was definitely a battle that needed no tears. He couldn't understand clearly, but he was sure he was crying for a person..

"What's wrong, Trainer?"

His head turned to meet the concerned eyes of a Pikachu. After a long time, he had finally mastered his sensitivity to aura, succsesfully allowing him to understand each and every pokemon.

He smiled and mived to scratch Pikachu's ears, which the latter found relaxing.

"I'm fine, buddy."

His mind drifted off once more, feeling empty again.

..Then he beamed at a curious mouse.

"Pikachu, we're going to Kalos."
