Hello readers, this is my first ever story so I'm a little nervous. Throughout the chapters I will share some things about me, one thing is that like all of you I love fanfiction, I fanboy the hell out of it. I will try to update once every week and I will never go over 2 weeks without updating unless something serious happens which I will inform everyone beforehand. I hope you all enjoy and please leave a review so I can know how to further improve my writing, and any questions you may have, I'll do my best to answer all of them but I will read everyone.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or any form of it nothing related to it at all just a guy wishing this is how the real anime would happen

Ash P.O.V.

I woke up to feel pikachu moving on my lap and someone on my shoulder, it was Serena. Over the past few months of traveling with her, Clemont, and Bonnie, I've felt as if we've grown together as a family, one that I don't want to leave when I head off to my next region. Looking down at Serena this is the first time I've really seen her as something other than a friend. I've never felt anything romantically towards another girl hell, I've only seen them as one of the guys really, but Serena, she's special.

We're on a train heading back to the Kanto region because the Kalos league is over. Although I didn't win, I finished in the highest I ever have the final 2, we lost to Alain, we were able to take down 3 of his pokemon but man were they strong. I'm proud of all my pokemon and I'm glad that I'm one step closer to achieving my dream, but for now i thought we all deserved a little time off.

We're about 2 hours from pallet town and I'm the only one up, I'd feel bad to move Serena from the position she is in so I'm just going to sit here and wait.

"Ash you okay?" Clemont asked

Clemont was a great friend and worthy challenge for my fourth gym badge, in all honesty he probably gave me my second hardest gym battle other than Wulfric, I'm happy that I asked him to face me for my 4th gym badge rather than clembot.

"Yeah I'm fine, why do you ask" I responded

"well you've been staring at Serena this entire time and you look like you've been doing some deep thinking. Got something on your mind?"

This caught me off guard, Clemont always seemed to care for people when they were upset or something but he's never outright asked someone about their problem.

"Actually yeah I do." I paused for a second to think about how I should word what I was about to say, and I wanted to check if Serena was still asleep so i moved my shoulder up and down slightly, she didn't budge, good.

"I've come to feel like you guys are family to me, the only person who I've felt this close to was Brock, he's traveled with me since the beginning and has kind of been a father figure for me, everyone whom I've traveled with over the years has found a special place in my heart. You guys will always be there in my heart and I don't want to leave you guys when I go off to my next region, so I've decided on two options that I'll tell Bonnie and Serena later on. Either you guys are coming with me to the Alola Region or I'm going to stay in the Kalos Region with you guys because I don't want to leave you guys, especially Serena, I don't want to hear your choice now if you want to go with me or not, I want to enjoy this time off with you guys and then get a response."

I looked at Clemont, it was obvious that he was processing what I just said to him

"Well Ash I'm very happy that you see us as family and that you want us to continue traveling with you, I just don't know if I'll have the time, eventually I do need to return to my role as gym leader. But I have one question for you, why did you specifically say you didn't want to leave Serena?"

Crap I knew I messed up, well I can't hide it might as well tell him. "The reason I said I didn't want to leave her is I'm starting to develop feelings for her, the only problem is I don't know how she feels about me. Although if I look back at all the times she was near me or anytime Miette happened to be near me she would either blush a lot or get jealous so I feel like I may have a shot, It's a matter of timing and place, I want it to be special for her."

I looked down towards Serena still sleeping peacefully. I looked back up at Clemont to see him giving me a grin that seemed to say finally.

"What's with the grin?" I asked just as Bonnie happened to walk in

"Oh it's nothing" Clemont responded "I'll tell you later"

I shrugged it off as if it was nothing and decided to just listen to some music until we got back to Pallet Town, I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep.

Serena P.O.V.

I woke up to feel my head on something other then a pillow, it was hard, but at the same time, comfortable.

I looked up to see Ash sleeping with earbuds in and realized that I had been sleeping on his shoulder. I blushed so hard knowing that I had probably been sleeping on his shoulder for a few hours now, and I know I fell asleep before he did so it's quite possible that he felt me on his shoulder and decided not to move me.

I looked up to see Clemont and Bonnie awake and talking about how most of his inventions blew up and laughing at the fact of me blushing

"What's so funny?" I asked with a shaky voice and my face still red hot

"Oh nothing…" Bonnie started. I knew were she was going with this. "Just the fact that you woke up and immediately began to blush redder than a tomato because of the situation you're in right now."

She giggled a lot, at this point its obvious to almost everyone but Ash the feelings I have for him, sooner or later he'll realize my feelings for him.

"Okay look can we not talk about this Bonnie, I know it's obvious to everyone but it's just a matter of time." I said

"Hey that's almost exactly what Ash said to me earlier while you were sleeping." Clemont blurted out.

"Huh?" by the look on his face he must of said something he wasn't supposed to or said something he shouldn't have. "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked

"Uh n-nothing…. Look I'd love to tell you, but it's not my place to tell you, that has to come from him." He pointed to Ash as he said that, clearly something went on between Ash and Clemont, probably about me, but like Clemont said he can't be the one to tell me, so I can't pry for information.

"Okay?" I shrugged it off as if it was nothing even though it wasn't I decided we should change the topic since Ash could wake up at any moment and it would be quite awkward for him to find out about my feelings as well as the conversation Bonnie, Clemont and I were just having. "Anyway how far away from Pallet town are we?"

"About 15 minutes." Ash had just woken up, "I just texted my mom to let her know when we'd be showing up at the house. She also told me that there was no need to stay in a hotel and spend money, there is plenty of room in the house for you guys to stay the summer."

"YAY, ooh Ash, when we get back to Pallet Town, can you take me to the Professor's lab to see all your pokemon?" Bonnie asked with excitement, she never ceased to amaze me with how much positive energy she had even in the dark times.

"Of course Bonnie, I can't wait to spend the summer with you guys just hanging out and not worrying about anything, it's going to be great." Ash said

He was right, it was going to be fun just to hang around and not have to worry about showcases or Ash having to worry about gym battles, what would be even better, would be if Ash were to realize my feelings for him, that is my main goal this summer, good thing it's a long one.

A/N: There will be other characters in this story, but I didn't feel like putting every single one because that would take forever. Hope you enjoyed :)
