A Realistic Amourshipping Story
What's up guys, this is my first Amourshipping fanfic and I hope to make it an enjoyable one while remaining realistic. So yeah this isn't a lemon; I just feel like lemons make the characters seem too...well, out of character for my taste. Anyways, I'm completely new to fanfiction writing, although I have read several fanfictions myself. Aside from a few garbage ones, there were several that I really enjoyed, and they've inspired me to write my own. So here I am, writing a story based on what I think the writers would do if they actually decided to break the recurring standard of anti-romance and make Amourshipping canon. Hope you all like it! Please comment about it after you read, I'm totally open to new ideas and criticism of any sort.
Also, I know how irritating it can be when storys are writtin like dis so I'm assuring you right now that I do my very best to keep grammar or spelling errors to a minimum. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Doubt
It's an early, sunny Spring morning on Route 14. Continuing on their way to Laverre City, our heroes are just waking up to another day in the beautiful Kalos region. Clemont is already up making breakfast for the group, and Ash groggily wakes up to the smell of pancakes in the air.
"All right, pancakes! My favorite!" Ash happily exclaimed as he got out of his sleeping bag. He opened his tent flap and breathed in the fresh air, ready for a new day.
Ash's excited cheers had woken up Serena, who smiled as she lay in her sleeping bag. Classic Ash, she thought. Always lively and high-spirited. And loud. She chuckled a little to herself at that last thought. She could've stayed there for much longer, thinking about all the things she liked about Ash. But the smell of food coaxed her out of her tent.
Still in her Tyrantrum pajamas, Bonnie was already out of bed, brushing Dedenne's fur. "Good morning, sleepyheads!" she shouted at Ash and Serena.
Pikachu, Fletchinder, and Hawlucha all looked up to greet their trainer. Ash had let them sleep outside of their Pokeballs because they were all feeling kind of down after having to say good-bye to Goodra.
"Hey guys, you all sleep well?" Ash smiled.
Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulder and nodded. "Pika pi!" Fletchinder and Hawlucha both nodded as well, spreading their wings wide.
Ash looked around. "Hey, where's Frogadier?"
As if on cue, Frogadier emerged from some bushes nearby, holding a struggling Chespin in its mouth. "Frog." Frogadier dropped Chespin, who was carrying a big box of macarons. Or, more accurately, a big box of a few macaron crumbs. Chespin burped loudly and blushed, scratching his head sheepishly.
Clemont looked up from the frying pan. "Chespin, this is starting to get out of control! I thought I would have taught you better by now. You have to learn to share. On another note, your battling capabilities will be hindered if you gain too much extra weight."
It was hard to tell if Chespin was listening, because it was laying down on its back with a big smile on its face, rubbing its belly.
Clemont sighed and finished up the last few pancakes. Ash and Bonnie had already started eating by the time he sat down, scarfing down the food at an incredibly fast pace.
As they ate, Serena noticed that Ash was looking a bit down. He had been so happy a moment earlier, but now all of a sudden he looked like something was really bothering him. "Um, Ash...is there something wrong?" Serena looked concerned for him, which was not uncommon of her.
Ash looked down a little. "Yeah. I miss Goodra already. I really wish he could have stayed with us. I felt like I had no time with him at all. It seems like just yesterday that he was just a helpless Goomy who shuddered at the sight of Dedenne." Ash's Pokemon all looked down, suddenly less interested in their food. Everyone sat quietly for a minute, thinking about Goodra.
Clemont broke the silence. "Cheer up, Ash, Goodra's where he belongs. And think about it, Goodra would never have gotten to where he is without your help. You really made a difference in his life, and now he can help others just like how you helped him."
Bonnie chimed in, "Yeah, and maybe we'll see him again sometime!"
"De ne ne!" Dedenne added.
Serena wished she had spoken up sooner to support Ash, but the two blonde siblings had pretty much said it all. Sometimes I wish it was just me and Ash, she thought. Then she quickly scolded herself in her mind, wondering how she could ever think something so selfish. She finished up her food.
Ash looked up. "Thanks, guys. You're right. Instead of getting down on myself I should focus on getting stronger. For Goodra!" He punched the air with enthusiasm, Pikachu imitating him, like they always did. The rest of the group smiled.
Under her smile, Serena felt slightly disheartened. Still always so focused on Pokemon, she thought. I wonder if Ash is even capable of thinking about anything else.
The group finished their breakfast and began to clean up their camp. Ash glanced at Serena as they were all packing up their tents. Well she's been awfully quiet lately, he thought. I wonder what's up.
Each trainer recalled their Pokemon back into their Pokeballs and they hit the road. Ash closed his eyes and stretched out his arms. "All right, Laverre City here we come!"
