Joe west: sure thing. I can use one, Barry screwed up with the timeline again.
Oliverqueen01: I know, but ya let's get go get coffee and on to the story!
Chapter 1: Wait. I'm going where?!
It's been 12 years since the attack by Team Flare in Kalos. The damage would have been more severe if not for a young man and his friends. After they saved the region and became recognized as heroes, the boy left for his home leaving his friends behind after a tearful departure. Days becomes months, months became years with no contact until fate decided to intervene for one of the boy's friends today.
"And cut! Okay that should do it for today. Wonderful work everyone." A woman with honey hair wearing a red dress said happily to everyone around her.
Everyone cheered as she went to her dressing room to relax from her long day of performances. She plopped down on the couch and opened her phone to find 3 text messages.
"Serena don't forget, Bonnie's birthday is tomorrow. She'd really like it if you don't forget please."
-Clemont
She chuckled as she read the next message.
"Girl. You were amazing last week at the concert. Keep reminding them why you were Kalos Queen once."
-Shauna
Serena smiled at the message and went to the next one which had her eyes wide open.
"Come to my office on thursday morning. I need to talk to you."
-Palmero
"Talk to me? About what? I wonder."
Serena locked her phone as she closed her eyes for a quick nap and flashbacked to her memories of 12 years ago.
Flashback:
"So this is it then..." Serena said sadly
"Ya, I guess." the boy in turn said sadly
The two stood in silence before the boy started to walk away. Serena knew she wasn't ready to say goodbye to him, not again after seeing him come to Kalos since the summer camp they were at when they were children.
"Serena... if you don't let go I can't..." The boy began
The boy turned around to find Serena in tears. He knew for the past few days that she looked like she was holding something in from herself, but now it was out in the open for him to see. He wiped her tears and talked to her.
"Is this why you've been silent the whole way here?" He asked
Serena nodded before she spoke.
"I- DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE. NOT AGAIN! I JUST GOT YOU BACK AFTER SO MANY YEARS AND NOW YOUR LEAVING AGAIN. I KNOW IT'S TO GO HOME BUT I-"
The boy pulled her into a hug and rubbed her back gently as she cried into his blue shirt.
"I know, but I promise one day we'll meet again."
Serena sniffled as she stopped crying and wiped her tears.
"Promise?" she asked in between sniffles.
"Promise."
The boy then gave her one last hug as he and his pokemon went to the departure gate to board the plane back to his home region. Serena stayed there until the plane took off and was no longer visible.
"Goodbye... Ash."
End of Flashback
Serena then opened her eyes, stretched and then slipped into her other clothes, which consisted of a pair of brown boots, blue jeans, a pink tanktop with a white jacket, a pair of black rimmed glasses and a pink fedora hat.
"All this to hide from the paparazzi." Serena thought to herself
Serena sighed as she walked out the dressing room. When Serena had called Palmero the day after Ash had left Kalos to train under the Old woman she never would have imagined the press would have a field day learning that she was going to be the new apprentice to Palmero and 6 long years after all the pain, struggles and teachings from Palmero. Serena had become the new Kalos Queen replacing Aria.
"Time sure does fly."
Serena got into her red convertible and drove home. She pulled into a house with a green roof and an assortment of flowers in the front of her house. She pulled into her garage and got of her car taking her belongings. She then closed it and headed inside her house. Serena didnt have much in her house, there was a large complete kitchen, a living room with a big screen tv and 3 bedrooms. Serena placed her keys on the counter washed her hands, grabbed a bowl of leftover pasta she had made the other day, heated it up and sat on her couch with the tv on.
"Tomorrow the weather will be a high 25 degrees, dress accordingly." The weather man said in a very monotone voice.
Serena then turned off the tv, put her dish in the sink and went to bed.
The next morning...
Serena got up early and took a shower. Today was Bonnie's birthday and she didn't want to disappoint the girl by not being there. After an hour of deciding what to wear Serena finally settled on a black jeans, white sleeveless shirt and brown heels combo. She straightened her hair which now was at her shoulders and wore no makeup. She then got in her car and drove to Lumiose city.
After a hours drive filled with traffic Serena came into Lumiose city and headed in to the nearest gift shop to pick up a gift for Bonnie. After she picked out the gift she drove straight to Lumiose Tower.
"Boy does this place bring back memories."
Serena smiled to herself as she entered the tower and headed upstairs. When she got upstairs she quietly sneaked behind Bonnie and tapped the girl on the shoulder.
"Serena! You made it!" the girl yelled in excitement.
"Yes, I did. Happy 20th birthday Bonnie!"
The two girls hugged as Bonnie was happy that Serena was infront of her. Serena then took a good look at Bonnie. Bonnie had grew tall as her and was very beautiful, she was wearing a black shirt with blue jeans with a pair of black flats and various jewellery. Her hair had grown to mid way her back.
"Where's your brother?" Serena asked as she looked around
"Right here." A voice answered
Clemont entered the room and shocked Serena as well. Gone were the large glasses and one piece jumpsuit he wore when he was with Serena on their journey with Ash, now in front of Serena was a different Clemont. He was wearing a light blue jacket and pants combo with a pair of white runners and his hair was noticeably shorter with the one strand from the top still sticking out. He went over to Serena and hugged her.
"It's been too long." Clemont said as he broke the hug.
"It has been."
"So Bonnie, are we waiting for anyone else?" Serena asked
"Just Daddy." Bonnie answered.
And on cue Meyer entered the room as he greeted the three young people in the room. Meyer looked the exact the same just a few wrinkles here and there and the matter of the grey hair on his head and face. After a while of chitchat the 4 of them began to eat dinner and then came time for the cake.
Clemont brought out the cake that was in the shape of Dedenne and stuck the candle on the stomach. Clemont kissed Bonnie on the forehead and told her happy birthday as she blew out her candles and made her wish.
"So what did you wish for?" Clemont asked
"Not telling, it's a secret." Bonnie teased winking one eye.
Everyone laughed and then came the opening of the gifts. Clemont handed Bonnie a small blue box with a red ribbon on it. Bonnie ripped opened the box and inside was a white designer purse with a gold trim.
"I know you've wanted that for a while, so yesterday while you were out I went over to Boutique Couture and got this for you." Clemont said very modestly as he rubbed the back of his head.
Bonnie thanked Clemont and hugged him. Serena looked on at the siblings, when they were younger Bonnie and Clemont fought sometimes like cats and dogs but at the end of the day she knew that they loved each other and nothing on earth would change that.
Meyer was next as he handed Bonnie a small white box with a yellow ribbon on it. She opened it to find a charm bracelet with a Pokeball, Dedenne and both Zygarde cores on it.
Bonnie teared up instantly at the sight of the Zygarde cores, she remembered when the red core suddenly appeared in her bag one day and was in shock when it revealed itself to the legendary pokemon. She also remembered when the cores left to return to Terminus Cave to live out the rest of it's days peacefully.
"Happy Birthday Bonnie." Meyer said to Bonnie proudly.
Bonnie hugged her father and cried into his jumpsuit a little. Once she recovered she wiped her tears and came to Serena's gift. She opened the round pink box with a black ribbon on it to find a large sunhat with a bright yellow ribbon running around the top of the hat.
"Wow this is really cute Serena thank you very much."
"You are like my little sister Bonnie, so think nothing of it." Serena said with a smile.
The two girls hugged quickly and then broke apart. The rest of the night was spent talking about various things such as Clemont's inventions (Which surprisingly didn't blow up any more.) Meyer's shop who was now ran by Clembot (Who was rebuilt after the Team Flare attack), Bonnie's new career as a Pokemon Teacher at the local school and Serena's time training under Palmero and becoming Kalos Queen.
After a long while of chit chat everyone returned to their respective houses and rested for the night. Serena's mind weighed heavily as tomorrow she was to report to Palmero about something that she had no idea about yet.
Thursday Morning...
Serena held a coffee in hand as she entered the building where Palmero's office was located. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses on her face, a green sleeveless shirt, a long white skirt with matching heels and a white hat. She then came face to face with Aria the former Kalos Queen who was wearing a white shirt with a black skirt and blue tie. On her hands were fingerless gloves and black heels on her feet.
"She called you here too?" Serena asked as she hugged Aria
"Ya, did she tell you anything?" Aria asked Serena as she broke the hug.
"No just that we needed to come here." Serena answered.
Serena sighed as she knocked on the door and the voice behind the door to come in.
When they stepped in they found Palmero on the phone with someone. She motioned for the girls to sit down. They both looked at the old woman as they sat, she was in her usual red scarf, long blackish-blueish coat and large moon earrings dangling from her ears. When she was done Palmero put down the phone and spoke to them.
"So your both wondering what I called you here for?" Palmero began
"Whatever it is... we didn't do it." Aria joked.
Palmero smiled at Aria's attempt at a joke.
"No, your not in trouble at all. Actually I called the both of you here because an idea came to me a while ago and I need your help with it."
"What is it?" Serena asked
"Well, for a while now I've been thinking about the Pokemon Showcases, I want to spread them out to the other regions. But as you know In my old age I can barely go anywhere now so I want you two to go and talk to the officials there to convince them and set everything up." Palmero explained to them.
"That actually sounds like a good idea. I think the only thing that remains now who is going where." Aria stated.
Palmero chuckled as she pulled two envelopes from out of her large brown desk at the other end of the room. She then handed one to Serena and the other to Aria.
"Okay, these envelopes contain a plane ticket to where you're going. Do not open them until you leave here. You are dismissed." Palmero told them.
Serena and Aria thanked the old woman and promptly left her office.
"So, wanna go first?" Serena asked Aria
Aria nodded as she opened her envelope and read the contents inside of it.
"It says I'm going to some place called Unova. I think that's the place where Meloetta is rumoured to be from." Aria said dreamily.
"Lucky." Serena teased
Aria giggled and then spoke.
"Okay, open yours and let's see if your going too." Aria teased back.
Serena nodded as she tore opened the envelope and read the contents in it. When she looked at the place she was going she turned red and fainted. Aria quickly caught her and rattled Serena to no avail. She then looked at the ticket for herself to see why Serena had fainted.
It read:
Ms. Serena Yoshida
Departure date: Saturday July 7th 2028
Return date: TBD 2028
Destination: Kanto
"Oh boy that means..." Aria thought to herself.
Meanwhile...
On the far side of the earth in the Kanto region, A young man age 28 dressed with a red hat, black shirt, blue jeans and red boots is at a river with a yellow mouse and a blue frog. The three of them were in the grass staring up in the sky when they saw the legendary pokemon Ho-oh fly by them.
"Pika-pi!" the yellow mouse creature said excitedly.
"Ya, I see it too Ho-oh flew by us again huh Pikachu?" the man asked.
"Pi."
"Greninja?" the blue frog asked.
"Oh right, you see Greninja years ago before we met and I started on my journey Pikachu and I saw Ho-Oh fly by us. Now that we've seen him again it means something is coming and I wonder what it is this time." the man explained to the frog.
Little did the man, the mouse or the frog know what or rather who was coming.
