Chapter 1
It was a bright, sunny day on Melemele Island in the Alola region. It is here that we find Ash Ketchum, aspiring Pokemon Master, and his friends celebrating the wedding of their teacher, Professor Kukui and Burnet. The ceremony had just concluded, though in a rather comedic way, with Burnet's Munchlax tackling Samson Oak in order to give him a big kiss on the cheek. The action caused everyone in attendance to start laughing, including the newlyweds.
After a moment of laughing, the two join hands and kissed each other, earning an applause from the crowd.
"Ah, it is soooo romantic!" Mallow said, her eyes practically looking like hearts.
"I know right? I knew those two were perfect for each other!" Lillie added.
"We all did, ever since the slumber party!" Lana decided to add as well.
"I guess things are going to be quite a bit different in Kukui's place now, right Ash?" Kiawe asked, looking over to his friend. What he saw was something he wasn't exactly expecting. Ash was just looking at Kukui and Burnet, and while he was smiling, he seemed so… sad?
"Ash?" Sophocles, who also noticed the strange look on his friend's face, asked.
This seemed to catch Ash's attention, as he looked over to his friends, who were now all giving him worried looks.
"Huh? What's up?" Ash asked.
"Are you alright? You seem kinda upset." Kiawe asked.
"Yeah, it isn't like you at all. Honestly, I would of thought that you would be really happy right now!" Lillie added.
"Oh, right, sorry. Just thinking about some things." Ash responded.
"Are you worried that things may become weird in the house now that Kukui is married?" Kiawe asked.
"Are you worried that Kukui may become too busy to teach us now?" Mallow also asked.
"Are you worried that Munchlax may eat all of the food in the house and there will never be enough for you?" Sophocles asked, earning a look from his classmates. "What? You know that is something he would be worried about!"
"I'm not worried about anything guys, honest. I am just... thinking of a friend of mine." Ash said.
"A friend of yours?" Lillie asked.
"Yeah, we traveled through Kalos together. I'm just wondering how she is doing right now." Ash said.
When Mallow heard the word "She" a thought crossed her head.
'Is it possible that…'
She immediately shook that thought out of her head though. This was Ash they were talking about after all.
"Ok… what made you think of her exactly?" Kiawe asked, slightly curious.
Before Ash could answer though, he noticed Lusamine, Wicke and… Faba? They were motioning him and the rest of the group over, as if there was something they wanted to talk to them about. Forgetting completely about Kiawe's question, the group went over to see what they wanted.
Later that night
Ash was standing out on the porch of Kukui's house, looking up to the starry sky. It was a very exciting day, between the wedding, the reception, Lusamine's request, and finally seeing Solgaleo again.
Ash then reached into his pocket, and took out a handkerchief. He looked at it for a brief moment, and then looked back up to the starry sky.
"PikaPi…" Pikachu said, worried about his best friend.
Ash smiled, then crouched down and rubbed his partner's head.
"Don't worry Pikachu, I am fine." Ash said. He then turned back and looked back at the sky.
'I really miss you… Serena.'
This, is the story of how two friends manage to reunite, and have a change in their relationship that will last the rest of their lives.
End Of Chapter 1.
And here it is! The mysterious ship that I have been teasing towards the end of the story I finished the other day! Yes, it is Amourshipping from the Pokemon Series! I fell in love with this ship almost immediately. I loved the interactions between the two, I loved the idea behind it, with Serena being a friend of Ash's from his childhood, and I honestly found it to be incredibly cute! And you know how much I love cute ships.
I will try and update this story often, but I can't make any promises. After all, Christmas is coming up! Also, if you are a fan of my IzuOcha stories (My Hero Academia), then don't worry, I am going to also be working on those at the same time, and will probs try to alternate between the two. I did promise that I would finish them after all.
Anyways, I gave a couple of hints about the ship I was going to write for, so I am going to quickly explain them.
French: Amour is French for Love, and Kalos, which is Serena's home region, as well as where the two of them traveled together, is based on France.
Handkerchief: Pretty much the thing that allowed the two of them to reunite in Kalos.
It is from a series that I am sure that absolutely everyone has at least heard of before: … Do I need to explain this one? I mean really, everyone has heard of Pokemon before… right?
Anyways, I hope that you all enjoyed Chapter 1, and I will see you soon for Chapter 2.
