After Ash returned to Pallet Town from the Kalos Region, he was planning to go back and visit Serena. It had been a few months since he was travelling. He had a picture in his hand. Pikachu clearly knew what it was.

"Pika pi?" Pikachu looked at the picture.

"I think I'll be going back there." Ash replied.

Pikachu was quite surprised that he would return to a region that he already went to before. Ash had never done that before.

"Ash! Come downstairs for breakfast" said Delia, his mum.

Ash went downstairs and sat on the dining table.

Something was very unusual. There was a very beautiful piece of glassware shaped like a serving stand for cakes. And there were stacks of Poképuffs on top of it.

"Help yourself" Delia said.

As usual, Ash would stuff himself. But he wondered, his mum had never baked him Poképuffs before.

He bit one of the Poképuffs. It had a very familiar sweet taste. It tasted amazing. Pikachu immediately buried into the stack of Poképuffs.

"Did you make these?" Ash asked his mum.

"There is someone outside waiting for you" Delia replied.

It was an unexpected reply, since she did not answer his question. Ash went outside. There wasn't anyone there.

Suddenly, a Sylveon grabbed his hand and pulled him and Pikachu a long way until he reached a meadow with a pond. It was beautiful, and the pond was like a shining mirror. He was pretty much far away from his house by now.

The Sylveon suddenly danced in the meadow without any reason. Then Pikachu noticed that the way Sylveon danced was like Serena's Sylveon.

Ash went nearer to the pond. Until he saw Serena, sitting next to the pond, wearing a crown of flowers. Serena had changed. Her hair was longer than before, tied up. She looked a lot more… beautiful, Ash thought.

Serena ran up to Ash

"Ash!" she exclaimed

"Serena!" Ash yelled back

And when Serena was close enough with Ash. She stopped, and then she leaped forward and hugged Ash. She had been longing to do this for a long time. Ash hugged her back, blushing even when he knew Serena had already kissed him. They hugged continuously for a few minutes and then Serena pulled back.

"I missed you" Serena held Ash's hands

"Uh… I didn't expect this"

His face was still red.

Serena smiled at him and hugged him again. Ash didn't mind Serena hugging him. He cherished the embrace. Then he pulled back and asked:

"Was it you who baked the Poképuffs?"

"Yeah, you guessed it?"

"I was quite sure it was you"

Ash walked Serena back to his house. Delia welcomed them.

"So you found her!" Delia was smiling.

"Who?" Ash sarcastically asked.

Serena didn't say anything. She just smiled.

"Your Kalos Queen, of course!" Delia replied.

Ash went dark red. Serena chuckled.

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you two" Delia said, laughing.

Delia went back to the kitchen.

Ash quickly took Serena to his room. Serena found the room cosy. It was small, but it was good enough for Ash. Serena saw a picture of all his friends in Kalos. There was Clemont, Bonnie, Shauna, Sawyer, Tierno, Miette, Korrina, Trevor and all their Pokemon. Especially Greninja and Goodra, which Ash missed them much.

And there was a small album, full of pictures of his moments in Kalos. At the end of the album there was a picture of Serena and Aria together, with Aria's autograph on the bottom corner. Serena gasped.

"Where did you get this from?" Serena asked

"Aria gave this to me. I was supposed to give it to you, but you see…" Ash looked away.

"Yeah…?"

Ash didn't say anything.

"It's okay if you keep it, I just want to know why you did" Serena held his hands.

Ash looked at her and finally admit.

"You looked so beautiful in this picture, so I kept it."

Serena hugged Ash, who was sitting on his bed.

"Thank you for that" Serena was smiling.'

Ash hugged her back. He was used to it already.

Then Serena took out a picture from a small pink book of hers. It was a picture of Ash and Alain battling. Alain wrote a small message behind the picture.

Ash took the picture and turned it to the back. It read:

"Hey Ash, you were a pretty tough challenge. Come back to Kalos another time if you can try to defeat me sometime, from Alain."

"I kept it for the same reason, Ash" Serena said.

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu was quite amused as he was in the picture.

Pikachu was full from eating Poképuffs. Ash and Serena smiled.

This is the end of the Chapter. Come back for the next one.
