Ash and Serena: A Love Story
Hey guys! This is going to be my first story and I hope you guys really enjoy this I got the idea for it and just felt the urge to write it and I hope you guys enjoy and I appreciate any tips or corrections. I don't own any part of the Pokémon franchise.
It was just another day for 16-year-old Ash Ketchum. He is on his way to Coumarine City for his fourth gym battle, along with his friends Clemont and Bonnie. The trio has decided to take a short break before they reach their destination. Clemont was preparing dinner, while Bonnie was grooming Bunnelby and Chespin. Ash, no surprise was training. As Bonnie watched Ash try to perfect a complex maneuver with Frogadier, she decided to look at her brothers Kalos Guide Book. She began mindlessly flipping through the pages, until something caught her eye.
"…. What's this?". "What is it Bonnie?" Clemont asked. "Look at this!" she said, thrusting the booklet at her older sibling. Clemont took the book and readjusted his glasses. "… A Pokémon Showcase?" he asked. "Yea! Doesn't it look like fun? And there's one happening in Coumarine City in two days!" The more the lemon haired girl talked, the more excited she became, to the point where she couldn't stand still anymore and started hopping from foot to foot. "Do you think we can go to it Clemont? Please? It looks like a lot of fun!" Clemont began to think. "We should have to ask Ash too. After all, he is the reason we're going to Coumarine City in the first place." "Okay! I'll go ask him!" she said leaving her brother to go get Ash.
Ash was busy trying to perfect a special combo using Frogadiers Water Pulse and his Cut. Just as he finished running through the exercise, Bonnie ran up and started yanking on his sleeve. "Hey Ash! Do you think we could go to a Pokémon Showcase in Coumarine city?" she asked excitedly. The raven haired trainer got a confused look on his face as he looked at the energetic young girl before him. "What's a Pokémon Showcase?" he asked.
Bonnie began to explain the basics of a Showcase to her thick headed companion. "In a Showcase, a trainer and Pokémon compete in various trials that can be anything from styling to baking to trivia, and if they pass the initial 'theme' round, then they go on to the freestyle round. In the freestyle, trainers and their Pokémon try to amaze the crowd with their unique routines, mixing dancing with the Pokémon's abilities to create amazing performances that take your breath away!... at least that's what the guide book said." She finished. Ash scratched his cheek and looked thoughtful. Just as Bonnie thought she was going to explode with anxiety, Ash looked at her and smiled. "Sure! Why not?" Bonnie leaped into the air and cheered, then immediately ran back to tell Clemont her good news.
Ash smiled. Though he would usually have gone straight to the gym upon reaching the city, Bonnie had simply wanted to go to this Showcase so bad, he just couldn't say no. He smiled again as he watched the two lemon haired sibling speak and then as the younger one went back to her grooming. He was happy to have them traveling with him. They were incredibly helpful and full of energy, and no matter what they would back him up in every case. They deserved to do something they wanted to do, even if it meant delaying his gym battle.
After another half hour of training Clemont finally announced that he had finished dinner. After everyone had eaten their fill, they all began preparing for bed, excited by the prospect of arriving at Coumarine city tomorrow and then by the Showcase they would be going to see. Little did one raven haired boy know, that going to this showcase, would change his life forever.
