(REVISED)

Chapter 1: Remembering History

(Flashback)

She had gotten lost and separated from the rest of the group while in the woods at a summer camp as a child in Kanto. The trees felt claustrophobic, being so close with their towering trunks in comparison to her small size that she was beginning to get very afraid as the young girl wasn't able to find anyone from her group. Losing her footing, she had fallen to the ground and scraped her knee. This already wasn't going well for her as she never wanted to go to camp in the first place. As she sat on the ground crying for her mother, a boy came out of the bushes ,looking for a pokemon, nearly scaring her to death in the process.

"Poliwag? Where'd you go?Huh?

"MOM, I don't wanna be here!"

She could feel tears start to form in her eyes, remembering that she was all alone in the forest, with no one to help her, although she didn't see him standing not far from her. Seeing her tears, he walked over to her with a confused and concerned look in his tears briefly stopped as her head looked up to see a young boy about her age walking towards her. His amber eyes were shining through the sunlight that was peeking through the foliage. She just kept staring at the boy

Seeing what was wrong with her, he took something out of his pocket and knelt down. It was a tiny piece of blue and white cloth, with a pokeball printed onto one of the corners. The boy wrapped the handkerchief around her injured knee and smiled when he was done. The boy had told her the pain was gone and stood up to see her try and stand. The little girl told him that it still hurt, while still sitting on the ground. She winced in pain as she tried to stand and take a step forward. He was telling her to keep trying, to never give up until the very end. This boy's hand was outstretched so she could lift herself up, all the while, the boy flashing a big, toothy grin. She was able to stand for a second before her knee wobbled a bit and she started to fall, right into his arms. She looked up at him, and saw a goofy grin plastered onto his boy grabbed onto her hand, carefully leading her back to camp. Although he didn't notice this, a small blush formed on the girl's cheeks as this was the beginning of something that would change her life forever.

That was 9 years ago...

. . .

She looked at all of her accomplishments next to her bed, as they were neatly arranged. The princess keys that hung on her wall next to her bed, and the ribbons from her time in Pokemon contests. She went over every detail and looked back on the history of each of them. She shifted her eyes over to the crown and sash that stood in the middle of all the keys and ribbons that read the words 'Kalos Queen'. The honey-blonde smiled as she remembered that exciting day.

(Flashback 3 years)...

"And the winner of the master class finale...and NEW Kalos Queen, SERENA YVONNE!"

Looking up in shock, she couldn't believe what she had just heard, thinking that this might have be a dream. It wasn't, she had finally beaten Aria and gained the title of Kalos Queen. She looked over at her pokemon, whose eyes were wider than the moon with huge smiles across their faces. Tears began to run down her face as she looked back at them, thanking them for all of their hard work over these tough, long months. Serena looked over at Aria and saw a small smile adorn her face. She walked over to her and embraced her in an Ursaring hug.

"Congratulations Serena! You deserve it."

"Thank you Aria. Thank you for everything that you've done for me. "

Serena waved to everyone in the crowd, thanking them for all of their support. She scanned over them once more, hoping to find the people who she was looking for, but to no avail. None of her old friends were showing the same support as the rest of the crowd, because they weren't there. Serena missed her old kalos group when she first started traveling, and she missed them now more than ever since this was huge accomplishment for her. Clemont was not able to make it for obvious reasons, he had duties as the Lumiose City gym leader. His little sister Bonnie, who she considered to be a little sister to her as well, wasn't able to make it. She was on the other side of the region, traveling with her partner Dedenne, trying to become a better trainer than Ash, and a better performer than Serena, but to also find her long-lost friend, Squishy, (also known as Zygarde core A) who, along with Z2 and Greninja, were working hard to get rid of whatever evil was left after the destruction caused by Team Flare in Lumiose City. Shauna, Trevor and Tierno had contacted her last minute and told Serena that they weren't able to make it because they were all traveling to Sinnoh to start a brand new journey, and so Shauna could compete in Pokemon Contests. Her frenemy-turned-best-friend, Miette, would also be traveling with them, but she told Serena beforehand that they would all be cheering her on. Of the faces in the crowd, the only one Serena recognized was her mother's. She seemed to be the one to be cheering her loudest as she was extremely proud of her. The last person she was looking for, the one who she somehow hoped would be there to cheer her on and support her like always, was nowhere to be seen.

At that moment, she wondered if he were in the crowd, would he remember what happened that day? Would he question her reasoning for what she did, or would he be as dense as ever and not ask her about it at all? She really didn't have the time to be thinking about that as it was her moment. Her moment to take in all the hard work throughout her time as a trainer and performer and take in all of the cheers from the crowd, chanting her name.

She told him that she would keep in touch before she boarded the plane, and they did, for a bit until all of her training got in the way and the calls and texts became less frequent, until they became non-existent. After she had won the title of Kalos Queen, she thought that it would be less stressful, but it wasn't. That stress seemed to multiply with the title.

There were so any responsibilities that came with the title, that she began to wonder if Ash would still be waiting for her to call or message him. One day, when she had finished up a press conference, Serena decided to finally call him, hopeful that Ash's voice would be there. Serena dialed the number and it began to ring, she waited patiently to hear a 'Hello' from her raven-haired crush, but all that came from the other end was a voicemail. Serena hung up and quickly dialed again and hoped that he would answer, again the same result and she hung up again. This had been going on for ten minutes until she heard a female voice call her from the door of the conference room.

"Miss Yvonne?" Her assistant asked.

"Yes Mia? What's up?"

"It's time for us to leave and go back to the hotel, we have a busy day tomorrow and you need to be well rested."

"Of course...," Serena looked down at her phone with a frown on her face, while Mia walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Miss Yvonne, I'm sure he's just incredibly busy and will call you back as soon as possible."

A slight smile formed on her face as she stood up, "Yeah, you're right. He's probably catching some rare Pokemon right now. Let's go. Oh, and Mia?"

"Yes Miss Yvonne?"

"Call me Serena, there's no need to be so formal. We're not in front of press or anything. So you don't need to call me that just because of my title. I'm still a normal human being after all. "

"Of course."

"I'm sure he'll call as soon as he can, Ash hasn't forgotten about me has he? Not after everything we've been through?" Serena said to herself as she walked back to her hotel room. Boy was she wrong.

It had been about two years since that talk and she still hadn't lost hope on Ash. Serena knew that she would hear from him soon, and they would catch up on everything that they missed. She did try and contact him, but with all of her duties and training to keep herself in tip-top shape left her exhausted at the end of the day with the only option to crash on her bed. But with whatever free time she had, Serena would always call or text him with the same result, either in a voicemail or him not texting back at all.

With the thought of Ash possibly forgetting her in the back of her mind, Serena began to slowly lose focus on her duties as Kalos Queen. She wouldn't pay full attention at press conferences, during some fan meetups, Serena would ask to be excused to take a break, a faint frown growing on her face. Her Pokemon noticed this quick change in behavior and got extremely worried, as they tried to help any way that they could, but to no avail. It didn't help that Ash, who she thought had forgotten her, never made any attempt to respond to her. What also didn't help was the fact that another season of contestants was coming up as she remembered it was once again time to defend her crown.

. . .

Serena was watching intently from the balcony of the stadium in Gloire City at all of the contestants. To her surprise, there was quite a bit of diversity between all of the hopefuls. Her expression showed excitement and eagerness to see all of the performances and Pokemon. Which made her feel thrilled for the first time in a long time. However, Serena's mood began to change as the showcase went on. She became slightly nervous as this year's competition was pretty stiff, some contestants using techniques that she had never seen before. There was no doubt that Serena was going to have a challenging night ahead of her.

At the end of the night, she was up against a green-haired girl named Sam, who had a Maractus and a Vivillon. Serena had watched her carefully throughout the night and something about her seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Her techniques and the way she was performing were sparking a thought inside the queen's mind.

She had used Maractus' pin missile and Vivillon's signal beam to create a sparkling display of colors in the form of a Vivillon. Along with that, she commanded her Vivillon to use psychic and control the remaining pin missile to surround and swirl around the sparkling Vivillon, all the while flapping its immense wings to send out even more sparkles. The routine went on for a bit longer and once it was finished, the entire crowd was in a frenzy. Everyone was on their feet, cheering and clapping at the display they had just seen. She had to admit that it was a well executed routine, but she had to focus on her performance, on her pokemon, and on keeping her title.

It was her turn to go up on stage and everyone was already cheering, with high hopes that the current Kalos Queen would blow away the competition. Her pokemon were by her side, a Milotic that she caught as a Feebas back in Hoenn, and a Froslass, who she had stumbled upon as a Snorunt while walking in the mountains, also in Hoenn. Her Delphox, Pangoro, and Sylveon were all watching backstage at their trainer about to perform. To say they were nervous was an understatement, as Pangoro stood in front of the screen, biting his claws with sweat dripping from the side of his head. Sylveon came up behind him and tried her best to comfort him.

"Sylveon, Syl, veveon."

At her encouraging words, he slowly calmed down and looked back at the screen to see the performance finally start. Serena started off with her Froslass using attract and telling Milotic to freeze the pink hearts with icy wind to freeze them, followed by Froslass using psychic to make them dance through the air. Serena then commanded Milotic to use dragon pulse while she told Froslass to use dark pulse. The two attacks collided head on creating a wondrous display of purple light. That same light reflecting on the still frozen hearts, resulting in an aurora all began to dance along with the icy hearts making people in the crowd smile and cheer. They finished off the performance by exploding the hearts and letting the small ice shards cascade down onto the crowd, making the entire arena look like a winter wonderland. Everyone stood up to give a standing ovation and Serena let all the cheers drown out her worries on Ash.

. . .

Both Sam and Serena were standing in the middle of the stage, along with Monsieur Pierre and their Pokemon, waiting to hear the results.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, it is time to cast your votes on who is the winner of this year's master class performance. Will it be our current reigning queen, Serena, or will it be our talented newcomer, Samantha?"

While everyone was casting their votes, Serena and Sam had closed their eyes in anxiety to hear who the winner was. Serena was nervous, more so than Sam was. Once again, her thoughts on Ash came flooding back, making her even more nervous than before. She hoped that he would be watching the showcase, wherever he was, cheering and supporting her.

"The results are in...and...the winner...and NEW Kalos Queen! Samantha Meadow!"

They both looked up and looked at each other as Sam stared at Serena in shock, speechless to say the least. Serena's Pokemon backstage were downcast as their trainer wasn't able to win, although they were a bit busy trying to comfort Pangoro, who had started bawling at the news that Serena didn't win. Sylveon and Delphox each gave a weak smile at the screen while patting his back, trying to stop the crying.

They walked towards each other and embraced in a tight hug, tears streaming down each other's cheek. Serena was the first one to speak, although a bit difficult as there were tears staining her eyes.

"Congratulations Sam. You've earned it after all your hard work."

"Thank you so much Serena, I honestly couldn't have done it without my Pokemon, I couldn't have asked for better partners. They have helped me so much throughout all of this and I don't know how I can repay them."

"I'm glad to hear that."

"I also had you as my inspiration, to become just as good of a performer as you. Bonding with my Pokemon, helping them, and helping me become stronger. Taking risks that I never would have thought of taking. To never give until the very end!"

That last sentence hit a chord in Serena's heart as she stared at Sam with wide eyes. She then realized how similar Sam was to him, her attitude, her love for her Pokemon, her same demeanor to never give up, to keep going until the very end. It all reminded her of him. Her mind was flooded once again with the memories of the raven-haired trainer as this moment was almost identical to one that happened long ago. Serena would look up to him and admire him, watching carefully everything he did, his risks, his training, and the time that he took to bond with his pokemon.

She gave back a weak smile and stepped to the side as the were bringing out the crown and placing it on Sam's head. She was a bit upset that she couldn't retain her title, and her Pokemon backstage were for sure devastated that she wasn't able to win, even with all her hard work, but she was proud, of herself and Sam, at the best master class showcase she had seen. Everybody in the crowd was roaring with cheers, clapping until they couldn't anymore. Although, through all the cheers and the clapping, she heard cheers for her as well.

"Thank you Serena!"

This warmed her heart, knowing that she was able to make so many people smile and happy with every single one of her performances. This was also her goal after her loss against Aria so long ago, and she felt that she accomplished it. She wasn't done by far, but she needed to take a much needed break from all the publicity and traveling. It would be bittersweet to leave the performing scene, but it was well needed.

Serena didn't need to worry about any of her duties . She enjoyed the traveling, going through all of Kalos, looking at all of the sights once again, it resurfaced old memories that made her smile. But all of that flying and walking and car riding had left her weary with dark circles around her eyes, making her look like a Pangoro. The very hectic schedule the blonde had also made it challenging for to get a good night's rest. Always practicing her performances kept her from doing the things that she wanted to do, as it gave her very little free time. Her diet had also changed during her time as queen as she had to keep a slim figure for her image. She didn't know how Aria was able to manage with all of this stress. She always had a smile and bright attitude.

With one last wave to the crowd, and Sam, Serena walked offstage, and went back to her normal life.

(Present Day)...

Serena stared at the ceiling in her room, waiting any second to fall asleep. She wasn't able to, not because of the pokemon outside or the fact there was a storm going on, it was because her mind was clouded with thoughts. She was always quick to fall asleep as this never really happened to her before. The only other time she had insomnia was three years ago, when she said goodbye to all her friends, including a certain raven-haired trainer as she left for Hoenn.

Ash Ketchum, the name alone would give her goosebumps whenever she thought of the person who it belonged to. His mere presence would make her nerves go haywire. From the moment they met, she was absolutely head over heels for the guy, and when they reunited three years ago, she couldn't even contain her excitement (or her blushing) at the thought of seeing him again. But during her journey across Kalos, she realized that he would be leaving towards another region and leaving them behind. This depressed her quite a bit because she didn't want to lose him again. She also had a hint of jealousy at the thought of him looking at other girls while in another region, the same jealousy she had whenever Miette flirted with him, or whenever he was retelling some of his past adventures.

She sighed,"I wonder what was going through his mind when that happened. That kiss...ugh..I didn't know what was going through MY mind. I wanted to have just one last special moment with him! One last memory to enjoy! It was in the heat of the moment and, and, I just couldn't control myself or my emotions at the thought of Ash leaving and never coming back and, and...!

During her breakdown, her cheeks had become a shade of deep red at the thought the kiss between him and Ash. She had paused to catch her breath as she started to hyperventilate. Sweat had started to form and fall down her forehead from all the stress. It was a good thing that her pokemon were all in their Pokeballs as they would have started to freak out trying to comfort Serena.

"He's probably moved on and forgotten about me...all because of that stupid kiss! I couldn't even keep my fucking promise to stay in touch! Who knows? He's probably happy with some other girl, or maybe enjoying himself being single in another region, with girls in bikinis everywhere...UGHHH!"

She grabbed a pillow and let out a muffled scream as to not wake up her mother and family. She finally let out her frustrations after holding them in for so long and began to lightly sob. A small pool of tears was beginning to show on her pillow. She realized that after years of not being able to talk to each other, that Ash, the man she had loved and still loves with all her heart, had forgotten about her and went on to live a happy life in a different place, doing who knows what, leaving her, in the past.

"Ash...why didn't I tell you while I had the chance? Sure I showed it, but I still would've told you as well...I guess I was just afraid that if I did tell you after the kiss, it would overwhelm you and make you distance yourself from me. And I guess it did..."

She continued her quiet sobbing while she looked at her phone at the screensaver she had, which was a picture of Ash and herself the day before she left for Hoenn. She caressed her thumb over his picture as she gave a weak smile, not lasting long as tears ran down her cheeks. Her sobbing intensified the longer she looked at the photo as she thought it would be the only time she would be able to see the raven-haired trainer. His toothy grin would always last with her, keeping his memory alive.

Serena put her phone on the nightstand next to her bed and turned to face the other way, the lightning outside casting an occasional white glow across her face, the stormy weather bombarding the house, keeping the atmosphere somber. As her eyes were about to close, a faint ping could be heard from her phone. She muttered to herself wondering who could be messaging her so late at night. The ex-queen thought it could possibly be Mia, as they had gotten close during her reign as queen. But she wasn't in the mood to talk to her right now so she would tell her they would talk later.

As she looked at her phone, her tear-stained eyes widened in shock to see the last thing that she would have thought to see. Four words could be seen on the screen as a lone text, with a name that instantly jolted the honey blonde back from drowsiness. See you soon Serena: Ash.

Her heart instantly started racing a million beats per minute. Serena shook her head and looked back at her phone, re-reading the text that was sent. She sat up and quickly pinched herself to see if it was a dream. It was not, but she slapped herself just to make sure. She held onto her now reddened cheek and laid back down,looking at her phone with a huge smile on her face. Grabbing her pillow once again, she let out a scream, but this time, of joy at the thought of Ash, the man she had loved her entire existence, was coming back into her life.
