Author's Note
A short little story inspired by the picture above. If you're offended by the idea of Ash and Serena together, or the Pokémon anime as a whole, turn back now. Criticism is welcome.

Ash stood there, a grin on his face. He held Serena in his arms.
"Did something happen?" Clemont said.
They chuckled.
"What's so funny?"
"Ash?"
His grin widened. "We're getting married."
"Married?!"
"Nah. We're just going out," she said.
"Oh. Well, congratulations, I guess."
"Thanks."
"And in celebration, we'll be eating out. To Ichiraku!"
"Not in this universe, love."
"Oh. To the tent then."
She shrieked as he picked her up and threw her over his shoulders.
"A-Ash!"
He smiled. "Oh, Clemont. Here." He tossed him his PokéBalls. "Bonnie's with Pikachu. When he comes back, tell him I went to the market."
"Yeah, sure thing, but—"

Clemont watched as they ran inside, Serena's flustered face buried in her hands. He sighed and sat on the ground. I wonder if Lilia's still available.
A blast of aura shot out of the tent.
