So here is number three of four options in the poll, and there is one more before there is a first look at every option. So far, All-Stars is getting the most attention, critically speaking, but the poll tells me that the Amourshipping Alola Rewrite, which is what this is, is in the lead, with the Pokeshipping Alola Rewrite in second and jack crap for All-Stars and The Road To Gold Trilogy. Either way, the Road To Gold Trilogy seems unlikely right now. But here is Option 3, The Pokémon Amourshipping Alola Rewrite, or "Ash And Serena Say Alola To Alola!"

Ash Ketchum and Serena Yvonne arrived in Pallet Town, where they arrived at Ash Ketchum's house. There, Serena got reacquainted with Delia, and they soon went to Professor Oak's Laboratory.
"Ash!" Three people that came up to Ash and Serena said. One girl and two boys.
"Tracey! Daisy! Gary!" Ash said, with his arms wide open.
"How have you been?" Gary Oak asked.
"Well, could be better, but I could be worse." Ash said.
"Could be better? How? You have a cute gal standing right next to you, who looks eerily familiar..." Gary said as Ash started to blush at the sound of hearing Gary compliment Serena on her beauty.
"Gary Oak?" Serena correctly guessed.
"And she knows my name. Hey, you're not related to anybody named Desiree, are you?"
"No."
"Okay, just checking, I almost thought I was morgue meat!"
"I'm Serena Yvonne. I'm from Vaniville Town in Kalos." She announced to everyone politely.
"Nice to meet you, Serena!" Tracey spoke up.
"Pleased to make your acquaintance!" Serena responded.
"Kalos? Great job, Ashy!" Gary said, playfully punching Ash in the arm.
"Gary, what the hell?"
"Whoops, I mean, nice to meet you! I'm-"
"Gary Oak. I know who you are." Serena repeated again, remembering when Ash and Gary fought over who was gonna be Serena's friend. "Daisy, long time no see! Don't know you, though..." She said, pointing to Tracey.
"I'm Tracey Sketchit! The assistant to the great Professor Oak!"
"Long time, no see... Serena... I got nothing." Gary said, throwing his hands up in surrender.
"Gary! This was Straw Hat Girl! The girl that you and Ash used to fight over like dogs!" Daisy said, smacking Gary upside his head.
"Oh. You tore up the band, Yoko!" Gary said.
"Don't worry, he was a jerk before we met you, Serena!"
"Still her little white knight, huh Ashy?"
"Whoa, whoa! Wait a minute!"
An old, hoarse, but soft voice said as that voice was accompanied by an old man with graying hair, and lab coat, over a purple polo shirt, and khaki pants, who came running out from his lab.
"Everybody was getting along fine! What happened?"
"He started it!" Ash and Gary said, pointing at each other.
"You two haven't changed a bit. Oh! And who might you be?"
"I'm Serena Yvonne! I'm from Vaniville Town in-"
"In Kalos! Ah, Serena! How you've grown! Do you remember who I am?"
"Yes sir, you are Professor Samuel Oak, their grandfather, and the benefactor of the Pallet Town Summer PokéCamp!"
"Well, there's some trivia not many know about me! Ash, have you been taking care of this young lady?"
"Of course..." Ash said, trying to hide his seriously blushing cheeks.
"Pika!"
"Oh, and hello Pikachu!"
"Pika Pi!"
"I'm doing great! And everyone else is waiting in the back!"
"Oh, great! Let's go!"
"Who's everyone?"
"You'll see!"
"Char!"
"Snor..."
"Bulba!"
"Kokee!"
"Oh no, what now!"
"You guys! Calm down!"
Various Pokémon cry out at Ash's Return, and the Herd of Tauros that belong to Ash come charging at Ash.
"Oh shit!" Ash said as he waits for the trampling, but out of nowhere, a Pidgeot swipes Ash out of the sky. It's no ordinary Pidgeot, as it is his own Pidgeot from his Kanto travels, which is said to be bigger than other Pidgeot.
"Pidgeot! Is that you?"
"Pidgeo!"
"Hey! Long time, no see!"
"Pidg! Pidgeo!"
"Oh, nothing! Up to the same thing since '97!"
"Pidgeo! Pidg! Pidgeo!"
"The Spearow and Pidgeotto made peace? That's great! Tell me, is there another Pidgeot in that flock?"
"Pidgeo!"
"Awesome! Do you want to come with me to Professor Oak's Lab?"
"Pidgeo!"
"Let's go!"
"My Arceus! Ash, are you okay?" Serena ran up to Ash and said.
"I'm alright! My Pidgeot saved me!"
"This is your Pidgeot?"
"The same Pidgeotto that did all of Charizard's work in the old days? He's fuge!"
"Fuge?"
"Freaking Huge!"
"He's bigger than I remember!"
"Well then, maybe Pidgeot can get reacquainted with everyone here, while I tell you and Serena about a task I would like for you both to do for me as well as a potential idea for your next destination!" Professor Oak said, leading Ash and Serena to his office and Gary, Daisy, and Tracey to their own devices.
"Now then, I've received an e-mail from my former student, Professor Kukui of the Alola region, who now runs a Pokémon School alongside my brother, Samson Oak." Professor Oak started. "He tells me of a power that is similar to Mega Evolution, but with attacks as opposed to the Pokémon's stats." Oak put out a blurry picture of a white bracelet with a rhombus shaped gem on it. "They call it a Z-Ring. And while they understand how they are made, and from what, they aren't sure why they are made, why they do what they do, or when it started. I was asked to take all the attention away from Mega Evolution, as there are already two established professors and two teams of scientists on the job, but Kukui is understaffed and overworked, considering he also runs the Pokémon School, and while his fiancée, Professor Burnet, is also doing all she can to gather info on Z-Rings, she also has her hands full with her own work, of which Kukui has not disclosed with me, and is also expecting a boy. They have no one to scout for them, and Samson suggested to contact me, and here we are." Oak said, as he leaned back with his hands in a "here we are" motion. "I'll be sending Gary to Kalos and Daisy to Hoenn to shed some light on Mega Evolution, but I don't think they will be much help there, seeing as they know just as much as I do on that front. And Tracey is just as clueless, but he'll checking up on the GS Ball in Azalea Town. So, Ash, as a favor for me, would you and Serena go to Alola, to discover more about Z-Rings?" Oak said as Ash and Serena prepared to speak.
"You got it Professor!" Ash said with a not so subtle hint at excitement.
"Anything for you, sir!" Serena said with the same excitement.
"Now contrary to popular belief, there is something in this for you and Serena: I hear Aria Dionne is attempting to introduce Performing to Alola, and will be collaborating with a local who is fascinated with Kalosian Performing. As for you Ash, they used to have a series of trials, that was exclusive to the natives of Alola, however with the arrival of the current Alolan Champion, this rule was discarded, and now anyone can take part in the the Trials Of The Tapus."
"Whoa!"
"Would you look at that? Another chance against Aria? I thought I was through!"
"Well then, since you'll be going to Alola, and you'll need information on the Pokémon that live there, I am honored to be the one to suggest that you and Serena be the first to use the latest in Pokémon Encyclopedia Technology, the greatest thing since the Pokedex in 1994!" Oak said as he pulled out two gauntlet sized screens with a Mega Ring attached to each and a solar panel on the side. "It's called a Nanodex! But when these working prototypes were made, Z-Rings weren't a part of the final schematic, but will be able to be integrated as an optional add-on, so you can see Professor Burnet about it. In addition to that, it merges the best of a Pokédex and a Pokégear, and its variants, into one device. These will become a necessity. We are developing a healing app for the Nanodex, which is intended as an Emergency Use only application, only necessary for when you aren't close to civilization. And it can store up to Three Thousand Pokémon."
"He's at a loss for w-"
"SCIENCE IS SO AMAZING!"
"Oh, Clemont would be heartbroken."
Then Ash proceeded to insert all of his Pokémon/Poké Balls into his Nanodex, and Serena did the same. They could summon their Pokémon to come out as they did before, but they had to hold up their Nanodexes in a flexing position instead, for it to simulate a Poké Ball opening. Pikachu stayed out for obvious reasons, but his Poké Ball went in as well.
"Well, now that you're all set, I take it you'll be heading for Alola in the morning?"
"Why not now?" Ash said as Serena nudged him then pointed out to the window.
"Wha? How long did we take?"
"You have a lot of Pokémon, Ash."
"Ok, fair enough."
"So where will you stay Serena?"
"She can stay with me! If you don't mind, of course..."
"It doesn't matter if I mind, the question is, does your mother mind? Call her right quick, and use the Nanodex! I want to see it in action!"
"How do I call?"
"Oh wait. Okay put your finger there, both of you on your Nanodexes. Doesn't matter which finger."
"Ow!" Both Ash and Serena said as they both got poked in the finger, and a blood sample was taken to link their Nanodexes to each other.
"There, now only you can use them, and you have unlocked more than the Pokémon Storage System. The Comm Function is that green phone button."
Ash touched the button on the screen, and dialed in Delia's Pokégear number.
"Yes?"
"Mom, it's me, Ash!"
"Oh hey Ash! Finally have a Pokégear, do ya?"
"Long story about that, but Serena needs a place to stay for tonight."
"Well if you're asking if she can stay with us, the answer is yes!"
"You read my mind, mom! Thanks!"
"No problem, sweetie!"
"We'll be home in a jif!"
"See ya here!"
"Bye!" Ash said as Delia's face disappeared and the screen said CALL ENDED in big red letters.
"Well then, it is settled, Serena, you can stay with me and my mother tonight, and we will leave to Alola tomorrow!"
"Great! Thanks!" Serena said as she grabbed Ash into a hug. Ash, unsure of what else to do, hugged her back, albeit slowly and cautiously.
"Uh..." Serena said as soon as she let go of Ash. "Sorry, I got a bit excited."
"You shoulda seen me when I heard the news!"
"It's getting late. We had all better get home before we get to a point of no rest!"
"Right, good night everyone!" Ash and Serena said.
"Good night you two!" Professor Oak, Gary, Daisy and Tracey said.
"He has no idea." Tracey said.
"She is head over heels for him." Daisy said.
"My boy is becoming a man. A little slower than I would have thought, but nonetheless." Gary said.
"Whoa, Pikachu, we're going on another adventure!" Ash said to Pikachu in solitude in his room, in his bed, so enthusiastic about the whole thing that he laid awake. Serena got the guest room, so she was not out on the couch. "But do you know why this adventure will be special?"
"Pika pi?"
"That's right! Serena is coming too!"
"Pika? Chuu Pika!"
"I don't like her that way. I mean she's nice, and she's cute, but I always feel so nervous around her!"
"Pika."
"Why would you say that?" Ash shouted as he fell of off his bed.
"Pika Pi?" Pikachu asked with his ears back.
"No thanks to you. No ketchup for all of tomorrow."
"Pika..." The yellow rodent said as it's ears drooped.
"It's just a day, so don't get too down."
"Pika."
"Night, Pikachu." Ash said as he lay awake, not even bothering to get back on his bed. 'Things are surely gonna be different now.' Ash thought to himself as he zoned out and eventually fell asleep.
And that is it for that! I am excited for all equally, but I feel like this one will garner the most support. Only time will tell! Till then, keep voting on, and as always, review your opinion on the story, and take care, MAAAAN!
