I am so sorry for those who are following and thought it was a new chapter i did some heavy revising, fixed up some errors, added some words that had become ghosts and i changed one thing and that was Serena's hair, i decided to keep with the original color since the character is Serena rather than an OC, but in a way she might be OCish... i don't know... i'm honestly going by the pokemon game Serena rather than the show Serena... but don't worry I'm almost done with the next chapter! And for future references cause I won't mention it again.. I don't own Pokemon or the characters sorry!
It has only be three days since Serena has moved in. The sun was just barely rising with the light gently peeking in through the window. Serena laid curled up in her sheets with a soft snore as she dreamed of being surrounded by pokemon. When all of a sudden a painful jab landed against her stomach which instantly woke her up to the sight of Flecthling staring at her with an innocent expression.
She grumbled a bit before slowly getting up pressing a finger against the bird's beak with a gentle smile, "Good morning to you too."
Flecthling cawed at her before flying downstairs. She leaned over to the side of the bed and contemplating for a second on getting out but finally relented as she rose up out of bed and stretched her arms in the air looking around her purple room before making her way to her dresser to get dressed.
Within seconds she stood in front of a mirror wearing her black and red dress with black books and a matching red hat. She turned a little in the mirror to make sure everything was okay before smiling and turning around to make her way downstairs.
Once downstairs her mother instantly ran to her, "Morning, Serena! Did you sleep well?"
"Yes!" You smiled softly in reply.
Your mother smiled the same before she let out a sigh and stared at you with sad eyes, "I guess it's about time you got going. Your neighbors are here as well why don't you go say hello to them."
Without a second door you opened the front door to only be met with a boy and girl who instantly turned to you each welcoming you to Vaniville Town. The boy's name was Calem and the girl was Shauna.
Shauna, whom you could instantly well was the preppy and loud one, beamed brightly as she bent over a little, "Guess what!" She didn't even give you time to answer before speaking back up excitedly, "We came to get you!"
Serena titled her head trying to figure out what the girl was talking about but then Calem spoke up, "The renowned Professor Sycamore lives here in the Kalos region. I heard he has a task for five kids, including us. But I'm surprised he knows who you are. You did just move to Vaniville, after all."
Serena could clearly say that there was one good reason that the Professor would know and that was mainly because her mom was a famous Ryhorn racer. But Serena just smiled and shrugged, while also curious to what the Professor would want with her.
Shauna then spoke up, "We'll wait for you in the next town over! And you know what?! We're going to get... a Pokémon!"
Serena's eyes instantly widen at this. Her first pokemon. After so long she was finally going to get her first pokemon that she can proudly call her own. She couldn't help the excitement that was building up she couldn't wait to see her new pokemon and wondering what it could be or what type it was or if it could even evolve.
Instantly Calem and Shauna ran off to the next town. Within seconds Serena was following them trying to keep in her excitement as she wore a big smile on herfeatures.
When she arrived into the town she saw Calem and Shauna sitting next to two other guys. Slowly Serena went over to them sitting in the chair next to Calem. Calem introduced Serena to the other two in which she found out that the big guy was Tierno and the guy was Trevor. She smiled softly to them before they started to get into a debate on what her nickname will be. Lady S, Li'l S, or S-kins. She was honestly not a fan of any of them so she decided to pick her own and allowed them to call her Sery like the kids back into Sinnoh did when they wanted to play with her.
"Ok! Let's meet our pokemon!" Shauna shouted as she squelled cutely.
Tierno laughed before holding out a bag with three pokeballs in it. Their choices were Fennekin, a fire type; or Chespin, grass type; or Froakie, water type. Serena looked between the three thinking which type will fit her best but finally she picked the one in the middle. The little fire fox. A smile appeared on her face as she held the pokeball in her hands. Her first pokemon...
She looked up to see Shauna choose Chespin and Calem choose Froakie.
Next Trevor handed them each a pokedex the real reason they were being sent out on a journey. Then Tierno gave her a letter that she had to give to her smile she replied with a thank you before standing up and heading out of town.
Before she could make it outside the arch of the town, Shauna stopped her and demanded a battle. Serena was already looking forward to her first battle and already sent out Fennekin in which Fennekin appeared with its cute little sound as it swayed from side to side gently. Shauna did a little twirl before excitedly sending out Chespin. Fennekin crouched down narrowing her eyes at her opponent.
"Fennekin use ember!" Serena shouted as she stood behind Fennekin.
Fennekin's ears drew back as she opened her mouth to reach a fire ball at Chespin immediately hitting it and causing it kneel over from how effective it was. Shauna pouted while throwing her hands down before pointing at Fennekin yelling at Chespin to use tackle. It was a direct hit but Fennekin just shook it off before giving a foxy grin as she began charging at Chespin with Shauna giving the order to use Ember once more. It was another direct hit that led Chespin to faint which cause Shauna to drop to her knees. Fennekin mewled her happiness at winning her battle before leaping toward Serena and jumping into her arms with Serena cooing the small fox while rubbing her cheek against Fennekin. Serena looked into Fennekin eyes and smiled brightly while rubbing her ears gently.
"You did a great job." Serena spoke softly which Fennekin mewled back.
Serena placed Fennekin back down and Shauna came up to her healing Fennekin and giving her congratulations to Serena.
Serena nooded to Shauna before waving as she turned back to go home with Fennekin walking beside her each step of the way.
Soon enough Serena stood in front of her house. She glanced down at Fennekin whom looked at her with a tilt of her head. She bent down to pat Fennekin's head before opening the door to the house allowing the little fox to enter before she did. Just as she entered her mother came to her and was immediately astonished by the little fox that sat on the floor looking up at her.
"Oh! You got your own pokemon! Congratulations!" Serena's mother beamed a smile.
"Thanks." Then Serena remembered the reason she came back. She dug through her bag and found the envelope and handing it to her mother, "It's for you."
"Huh? A letter for me?" Her mother peered at the letter looking from the back to the front. "It says it's from somebody named Sycamore. What could it be? A love letter?"
At this you sweat dropped and shrugged.
Serena's mother opened the letter and started reading the contents, "Wow, what lovely handwriting... Hmm, oh a request... oh, now I see! Serena!"
Serena instantly jumped at being suddenly called upon she replied nervously, "Y-yes...?"
"We've barely unpacked, and all kinds of exciting things are happening! OK! Let's get you and Fennekin ready for your journey!"
Serena watched her energetic mother leave upstairs before shortly coming down with a bag, "Here you are, Serena. I even packed a change of clothes. My, what an unexpected turn of events! It's just like a sudden last burst of speed from a racer in a Rhyhorn race! You made friends! You met your Pokémon! And now you get to take a lap around Kalos! Oh, and don't forget this!" She spoke up catching her breath as she handed Serena a map.
Serena looked at her bag then at the map before placing the map in her bag. She took a deep breath before looking at her mother one last time. Who knows when she will see her again. She remembered all the laps they shared and the times they sat outside with her Rhyhorn teasing each other about anything and everything. She smiled at her mom before hugging her mom tightly. She felt her mom's arms wrap around her and hugging her tightly as well.
"Good luck, little one." Her mom spoke trying to keep her voice even.
Serena looked up at her mom before nodding and breaking the embrace to open the door with Fennekin at her feet. She turned to look at her mother one last time and grinned, "Just you wait! When I return you won't even recognize me!" With that she stormed out and instantly began running to the next town with Fennekin in tow.
Serena's mom stood in front of the door with a sad smile, "That's what I'm afraid of..."
Serena all the way to Route 2 and stood in front of the entrance looking at the area ahead of her. The moment she steps out is the moment her journey begins. Soon wild pokemon will jump out and she will have to battle them. She clenched her hands into fist but she wasn't afraid. No. Her blue eyes drifted to Fennekin who looked up at her and mewled cutely. She had Fennekin with her and together nothing can stop them.
She took one last before charging and instantly coming face to face with a wild Pidgey. The Pidgey glared at the duo before swooping down to tackle Fennekin, but Fennekin quickly dodge and retaliated with an ember that burned some of Pidgey's feathers. But Pidgey kept fighting back and went for another tackle which hit Fennekin. Fennekin brushed off the attack before leaping up and tackling Pidgey. This led the battle to end with Fennekin winning. Serena cooed at Fennekin on a job well done before they continue walking down the path coming face to face with new pokemon and some old ones, but Serena was fine. Her and Fennekin were a great match and they kept pushing onward never backing down.
After a while Serena and Fennekin returned to Aquacorde town to heal Fennekin even though Fennekin seemed to be able to go on forever Serena just thought to just go ahead and head back to heal before continuing. She was actually surprised with the progress being made so far. Fennekin seemed to be growing stronger with each battle and growing more confident. Their teamwork was in sync it was like nothing could come between them. She looked down at Fennekin after getting all healed already heading back to Route 2. She smiled at Fennekin before continuing on.
This time before they could go on they were met with the sights of Shauna and Calem. Serena waved at them before joining them in their discussion.
"Come learn how to catch Pokémon with me!" Shauna exclaimed happily with a slight jump.
Calem nodded before walking into the grass to show them how to catch pokemon.
Serena looked on with a tilt to her head. She already knew how to catch them but she thought she will just humor them after all she was in no rush. Her and Fennekin were having the time of their lives just walking around enjoying the scenery. Fennekin especially loved wiggling her ears to all the new sounds she could hear.
After Calem caught the little fletchling they all separated onto their own journey. Serena remained on Route 2 a little while longer bonding with Fennekin, after a while they moved on to Santalune Forest and was immediately confronted by Shauna who wished to travel with Serena for the duration of the forest. Serena allowed her but this mean she had to get to the other side of the forest, she took her time. Her and Fennekin even forgot that Shauna was following them as they traveled through ever thick and thin inch of the forest enjoying the new competition and battling whichever trainer they came across, but finally they came to the end meeting up with Calem, Trevor, and Tierno. With one step that exited the forest together as some memorable moment.
They stood at the exit discussing what ifs and what nows. Calem seemed set on going to the gym to obtain a badge and becoming the best trainer ever, Tierno wanted to catch more pokemon for some dance routine, and Trevor was set on filling out every inch of the pokedex, as for Shuana she wasn't sure it seems she just wanted to find cute pokemon to play with.
Serena didn't really care much for filling the pokedex or even obtaining gym badges. She was content with herself as long as she had Fennekin by her side, but there was a pokemon she had her eyes set on. She remembered an old couple bringing a pokemon Litleo, a pokemon from Kalos whom she instantly fell in love with, and fortunately for Serena she knew just where to find one.
So she separated from the group and continued on Route 3 exploring ever inch with Fennekin by her side. Fennekin was growing stronger and even learned how to do flame charge. They then ventured into the two of Santalune and instantly went to the pokemon center to heal Fennekin as a simple precaution. Serena walked around the town admiring the beauty of it as well as talking to a few people within the town. She even came across a roller skater girl who was more then willing to give her a pair of roller skates if Serena beat her. Which she did and now it was if Serena was drifting on clouds as she moved around the town. But now for the real reason for coming here.
Without a second thought she drifted to Route 22. The old couple said that was where they met Litleo so this should be the right place to have her own Litleo. Yet after awhile she was starting to lose faith, and she wouldn't even let Fennekin participate in battle because Fennekin was starting to get one hit K.O.s and she didn't want that to happen to Litleo so they had been fleeing from battle. But right when her and Fennekin were going to leave Serena heard a little cry. Instantly she turned around to come face to face with a Litleo who seemed to hold a cocky expression. Serena smiled as she quickly told Fennekin to use 'Scratch'. Fennekin instantly charged but Litleo was quick and moved out of the way. There was a certain gleam in Litleo's eyes as it stared at its new competition. Without even a second passing Litleo charged using 'Tackle' which knocked Fennekin to the ground, but Fennekin stood back up with a growl before acting on its own to use 'Scratch' which landed this time causing Litleo to shake its head from the slight pain. Serena didn't even wait a second before pulling out a Great Ball that she received form a kind kid in Santalune and threw it at Litleo. It felt like forever as she watched the ball move form side to side before it finally stopped and Serena couldn't help but jump in the air with a grin. After that little short burst of excitement she immediately picked up Fennekin in which Fennekin replied with a surprised squeak as Serena dashed back into Santalune and immediately to the poke center to heal her pokemon. After that was done she went back outside and into Route 3 to train her new pokemon. She withdraw Litleo from the pokeball. Litleo looked around confused before looking up at Serena then at Fennekin who had her head tilted to the side. Litleo tail instantly started wagging before she let out a cute little mewl that had Serena squealing with delight.
"Okay, Litleo. Let's get you trained up, and also get to know each other better and I know just where to start." Serena spoke as she began walking though Route 3 with the destination of Route 2 in mind. She looked behind her to see Fennekin and Litleo following her. Litleo kept trying to get Fennekin to play with her on the way to their destination, and Fennekin will indulge in Litleo's playful burst but Fennekin was more serious in nature and it seemed if Litleo got an upper hand in their play fights then her ego will just seem to burst. Serena giggled at this before finally making it to Route 2. She planned on bonding with Litleo here much as she did with Fennekin. With that said the training officially begun and the poor little Pidgey was the first prey.
After a while, Serena along with her pokemon made it back to Santalune. Her blue eyes drifted back to Litleo. She felt Litleo has finally caught with Fennekin. And for poor Fennekin, Litleo has just been pestering to play in which Fennekin will get so annoyed and end up trying to burn Litleo to little ashes, but of course Litleo only took this as an act of playing. Serena giggled before going to the pokecenter to get her pokemon all recharged. She made it to the gym and stared at the building wondering if she should do it or train some more. Her eyes went over to Route 22 that stood next to it. If she remembered correctly there were still some trainers there that she hasn't faced yet. Without much of a guess her little group traveled to Route 22.
Serena was now at her last battle facing an Azumarill with Litleo. Litleo seemed more focus on playing with the little Azumarill, and Serena didn't much mind. She found it amusing but when she looked at Fennekin, Fennekin seemed to want to participate.
With a nod to herself, Serena turned back to Litleo, "Time to finish this, Litleo!"
Litleo mewled with glee as it stood ready to attack.
"Use headbutt!"
With that being said Litleo quickly charged at the Azumarill gaining speed before colliding its head against its small body causing Azumarill to fly back from the source. All it took was one hit at the little mouse pokemon was down.
"Good job, Litleo." Serena smiled at Litleo as the small lion pokemon made its way over to Serena to only receive a pat on the head.
The trainer, a young lass, pouted as she stared at the pokeball of Azumarill. She then turned back to Serena before pulling out another pokemon, "Go Marill!"
Serena looked up and then back down at Litleo, "Why don't you sit this one out and let Fennekin go." Litleo mewled at her before sitting beside Serena's feet. Fennekin instantly jumped in front of Serena with her little yellow twitching with glee ready for the battle. Serena didn't care that Marill was a water type and that she was a major type disadvantage. She didn't mind, because she had full faith in Fennekin. Unfortunately, it seems the other trainer was becoming cocky as she kept saying she could beat Serena now. Serena just shrugged before pointing at Marill, "Fennekin! Use Scratch!"
Fennekin charged at the Marill with surprising speed and brought its claws down on Marill. Marill rolled back with its little hands trying to soothe the pain from the scratch marks. Fennekin just grinned a foxy grin before pouncing on the poor mouse pokemon. Marill instantly moved out of the way and ran a few feet away from the little fox pokemon. Fennekin leaned down on its haunches before something amazing happened. A bright light formed around Fennekin's body and seemed to grow larger after a few seconds. Soon enough the bright light disappeared and there before Serena stood her Fennekin, no, her Braixen. Serena could not believe her eyes that the pokemon she received had no evolved into a Braixen. Serena stared at Braixen before smiling and pointing toward Marill.
"Fen... Braixen use scratch." And with that the battle was over. Serena didn't pay much to the defeated trainer as she instantly ran toward Braixen hugging the fox pokemon tightly, "You evolved!" Braixen cried with delight as it hugged her trainer back.
After a few minutes Serena stood up and looked down at her Braixen and Litleo who looked up at her expectantly. "What do ya say in challenging the gym now." They both cried their response which Serena took as a yes as all three headed back to the gym.
When they entered the gym they were told that all the pokemon were bug type, in which Serena did not have to worry at all, and moments later Serena walked out with the Bug Badge. She looked down at her pokemon with a grin as they headed to the pokemon center to heal up before heading off to Route 4. Here they relaxed because the route was really pretty. With that Serena laid in the flower beds and let Braixen and Litleo run around but kept a watchful eye on them. Braixen seemed more interested in the flowers as she pet the petals before picking up one and giving slight sniff. Litleo rolled around in the flowers which earned a glare from Braixen, but Litleo didn't mind. She was more playful which made Serena realize that she is going to have to find another playful pokemon for Litleo to play with otherwise Braixen will end up exploding. Serena looked up at the sky to see the sun has finally start to set. She took this as a sign to go. She called out to Braixen and Litleo whom instantly ran back her. Serena bent over and pat them both on the head before telling them they have to hurry to the next town so they have somewhere to rest for the night.
But before Serena could head onto the next town, something caught her attention. She stared into the flower bed to see a lone pink tail stick out from the flowers. Silently she crept forward and came face to face with a little skitty whom looked up at her with a tilt of its head. Suddenly Litleo tackled the Skitty and the both of them ended up rolling around in the grass much to the sorrow of Braixen who stared at the poor flowers. Serena blinked a few times watching the two cat pokemon play with each other, when finally she figured it out. Her prayers were answered! A pokemon that can keep Litleo busy. Litleo seemed to of heard it's master silent command and leapt away from the kitten pokemon and stood battle ready. The young Skitty tilted her head to the side before finally realizing what was going on. Skitty knelt down on its haunches readying itself for the upcoming attack.
"Litleo, use tackle!" Serena spoke up.
Litleo instantly charged at Skitty only for Skitty to move out of the way which caused Litleo to ram the tree that stood behind Skitty. Litleo shook its head trying to get rid of dizziness before turning its gaze back to the kitten who stared at her with a grin. Skitty then charged at Litleo ready to tackled it but Litleo moved out of the way and turned around to hit Skitty with a tackle which seemed to do quite a bit of damage as the little pokemon tried to get back up slowly. Skitty was about to attack again when something seemed to catch its eye. It's attention was completely diverted from Litleo and seemed more focus in something behind it. Suddenly Skitty attacked. But it wasn't at Litleo... It was it's own tail. Serena couldn't help but giggle before bringing it at a pokeball and throwing it at the kitten. Soon enough the ball stopped moving and Serena bent down to pick up, letting Skitty come out of the pokeball. Serena then bent down and gave it potion since she didn't feel like going back to Santalune. Skitty mewled happily before she started chasing Litleo around Serena. Braixen just sighed at the antics before walking up to Serena and standing to her right. Serena smiled at Braixen and pat her head, "You ready to go."
Braixen let out a mewl while closing its eyes at the pet.
With that the group continued on with Serena making sure that Litleo and Skitty were still following them which they seemed to be doing just fine as they continued to play with each other.
Just as Serena was about to enter the next town she was stopped by two people who stood at the entrance talking to each other. The boy with short blonde hair was the first to speak as he turned to Serena, "Hello there! Have you ever heard of a Pokémon called Flabebe?" Serena nodded as she handed her pokedex to him, "Oh! I see. It's registered in your Pokedex! That's what I would expect from one of the professor's handpicked Pokémon Trainers!"
The other girl with violet hair spoke up, "Flabebe is - now brace yourself-a fairy-type Pokémon!"
"Fairy type is a new Pokémon type that was suddenly introduced..."
The woman caught off the boy, "This turned the entire type-matchup system on its head! And we've been battling Fairy-type Pokémon against other types of Pokémon at Professor Sycamore's request. My name's Sina! It's a beautiful name for a beautiful lady!"
"I'm Dexio."
Serena nodded her head in greeting, "I'm Serena."
Dexio nodded back before talking, "Two years ago, Professor Sycamore entrusted me with a Pokedex. You could call me a Pokémon-voyage veteran."
"If you'd like, I'll show you the way to the lab. So, come along now!" Sina said as she grabbed Serena and started showing her the way. Serena couldn't even get to admire the sights of Lumiose City before being ushered into what Serena guessed was the Professor's lab. As soon as Serena entered, Sina waved bye to her as she exited. Serena blinked a few times as she stared at the lobby of the lab. Her eyes drifted toward the elevator before looking down at her pokemon whom were all looking around nervously. Serena smiled as she bent over a little, "It's okay everyone, I'm here." Instantly they all relaxed and Serena headed for the elevator, entering in and pressing the '3'. The doors quickly closed and soon enough she was on the top floor and was instantly greeted by a young man with messy black hair, "Fantastic! You're here! Come this way, won't you?"
Serena cocked her head to the side in bewilderment before finally moving her feet toward where the man went.
"Many thanks for coming all the way from Vaniville Town! I'm Professor Sycamore! It's a pleasure to finally meet you!" The professor said with a smile, and Serena couldn't help but think that he was the only one excited about this meeting, "how is your Pokémon journey going so far? Have you met many different Pokémon?" Serena nodded her head, "Fantastic! Let me have a quick look at your Pokedex and see! Hmm... So you've seen 37 kinds of Pokémon in Central Kalos, then. Oh ho! The pages are getting filled in. It's starting to look good! Well now, you DO have a certain je ne sais quoi(A/N: pleasant quality that is hard to describe)! I have a good feeling about you! At first, I was thinking of choosing only one person from a town when I was deciding who to give a Pokémon to. In Vaniville Town, it was going to be the child of a Veteran Trainer I know. About then, I learned that the Rhyhorn racer Grace and her daughter were moving her." Serena silently let out a sigh, of course it was because of her mother, but the Professor kept talking like nothing was going on, "Here in the Kalos region, you're far away from everything you used to know... That really hit me right here... Then it hit me-I should give you a Pokémon and have you travel around Kalos!"
Suddenly a voice interrupted the Professor, "Hi, Professor! It's Shauna."
Shauna and Calem soon came into the room, Calem spoke up, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Fantastic!" Serena could help but wonder if that was the Professor's favorite word, "Now, let's all have a Pokémon battle!" He then turned to me, "You opponent shall be me!"
Serena looked down at Braixen whom looked up at her and reached up and pat her hand. Serena grinned before looking back at the Professor and nodding.
"Shall we start the battle?" Professor Sycamore said with a smile. Serena nodded. With that the professor grinned, "Just so you know, I'm not that tough!"
Serena wasn't sure how she was suppose to take that statement but she just shrugged before looking down at Braixen, "You first?" Braixen mewled before standing in front of Serena ready for her opponent.
Sycamore sent out Bulbasaur first.
"Braixen, flame charge!" Instantly fire formed around Braixen before she charged at Bulbasaur. As soon as the flames cleared Braixen was still standing without a scratch but Bulbasaur was out. Sycamore instantly sent out Squirtle. Serena called Braixen back to her and looked down at Skitty smilling at her. Skitty mewled with glee as she instantly enter the battle with tail swishing side to side with glee.
"Skitty, use Sing!" Skitty soft mewls seemed to reverberate into a beautiful melody that instantly made Squirtle fall asleep. Sycamore seemed at a lost on what to do and tried to tell Squirtle to wake up but it was not use. Serena grinned before telling Skitty to use tackle as much as she can. Skitty complied with the request and charged at the turtle attacking it from all sides before it was clear to see that Squirtle was done. Skitty mewled its accomplishment before trotting over to Serena and sitting on her haunches beside her.
Next Sycamore sent out Charmander, in which Serena let Litleo join the battle. Litleo cocked her head to the side as she stared at Charmander before leaning down on her haunches ready to attack. With that Serena told Litleo to use headbutt, and just that one hit was enough to knock down Charmander. The battle was over before it even started. Serena bent down and patted each of their heads telling them good job before standing back up to see Sycamore with his head down and letting out a sigh.
Suddenly he shot up, "I think I've figured it out!"
Shauna was the first to speak as she scratched her head, "Figured what out?"
Sycamore looked at Serena, "Serena! You are an interesting Pokémon Trainer indeed! It'd be fantastic if you took another Pokémon with you! Here Pick one!"
"Eh?" Serena spoke up as she stared at the three pokeballs. She was going to be given another pokemon. She stared at each one and looked at the one in the middle. Charmander... It seems her team was going to be mostly of fire types, but she couldn't help it. She loves the fire type pokemon. So without further a do she picked out Charmander and instantly brought the little pokemon out. The little Charmander looked around confused before looking up at Serena then toward Sycamore. Serena bent down toward Charmander with Braixen, Skitty, and Litleo poking their heads out from behind her.
"Hello, Charmander. I'm Serena." Serena smiled at the pokemon.
Charmander looked at Serena and watched her smile causing the little pokemon to smile as well as it cried out to her. Serena giggled before patting its head and standing back up to look at the professor.
"Well since you chose Charmander, I'll give you this." The professor spoke as he handed her a stone that was brightly colored, "It's called a Mega Stone, and it just for Charmander only." This caused Serena to look at Charmander whom looked at her with a tilt of its head.
Suddenly Teirno and Trevor came in. Sycamore smiled as he looked at them all, "Good, so now that we're all here, I'd like to say a few words. Be the best Trainer you can be!" This led Serena to sweat dropped as she gave the professor a confused look, "At the same time, remember to have fun traveling with your Pokémon! Also, I want to ask for your help in solving the Kalos region's biggest Pokémon mystery: the secret and potential of Mega Evolution, a new kind of Evolution that occurs in battle! That's why I gave you that Mega Stone just now. It's an important clue!"
Trevor immediately asked about the Pokedex which the Professor told him if that what the "best trainer" meant to him then he should go do that.
"Mega evolution..." Serena mumbled as she stared down at the Charzardite Y.
"If you're investigating Mega Evolution, why don't you check out Camphrier Town? That town has a lot of history-you might find a hint there! Now listen. If you visit man different places to complete the Pokedex, you probably see Pokémon with many ways of living and meet people with many ways of thinking. First, accept the ways of living and thinking that sometimes conflict with your own. And think about what's really important-this will truly broaden your horizons."
Serena just shrugged not really having a particular goal. She looked down at her four pokemon whom looked up at her expectantly. "How about we go find a place to stay the night at?" She received a chorus of happy cries in which she took as a yes as she headed out of the room in hopes of finding some type of hotel. She went down to the lobby to only find Sina talking to a man with red hair. She couldnt' help herself as she eavesdropped on the conversation.
"So, I will be able to meet them soon, then." The man spoke.
Sina nodded, "Yes."
The man looked up at the ceiling lost in thought, "The people chosen by the professor... I wonder what potential they have."
Sina looked over at Serena and looked astonished to see her, "Oh, here's one of them now... That's Serena. Serena, come here a sec!"
Serena bit her lip nervously before making her way over to them instantly her eyes drifted toward the unknown man and she wasn't sure how she was suppose to handle his staring. Even just being near him seemed to set her off.
The man was the first to speak, "Oh! You received a Pokedex from the professor then... How wonderful! That is a wonderful thing, indeed. You are one of the chosen ones. I am Lysandre. I've tried to learn as much about Pokémon as I can to help build a brighter future. Professor Sycamore has taught me so much. Oh, I see you have a Holo Caster! Knowledge is power, after all. Put it to good use. Now listen! It is vital that this world become a better place. And the people and Pokémon chosen to make the world better must work tirelessly to achieve this goal. Well, I'll be off. Please give Professor Sycamore my best." He said toward Sina at the end. "My desire... it is for a more beautiful world!"
Serena watched him go before her gaze drifted to Sina whom began speaking, "Still... I wonder what kind of beautiful world Lysandre desires... In this great big Kalos region, there are many different Pokémon. I hope getting a Pokedex gives you a chance to learn about them."
Serena looked back to the door where Lysandre left. Everything he said was bothering her. It seems like there was something he wasn't saying, and there probably was. Serena let out a sigh before shaking her head. First thing first was trying to get a room to sleep in for the night, because she was thoroughly exhausted from all the traveling and she was pretty sure her Pokémon were as well.
But before she could leave she was stopped by a group of her friends. It seems everyone was set on trying to stop her from sleeping. She turned toward them to only have Shauna say she wanted to check something out and quickly dashed off.
Calem stepped up to her, "There's something I want to talk to you about. I'll wait for you in Café Soleil, neighbor!"
But before he could leave, Serena shot out and grabbed his arm, "How about in the morning?"
"Eh?"
"I'm tired and all I want to do is rest, so can we please meet in the morning." Serena practically begged and her pokemon that surrounded her also cried out toward Calem.
Calem blinked a few times before looking down at the pokemon and then back at Serena, "Um, I guess?"
Serena mentally cheered and said her goodbyes to Trevor and Tierno as they each headed into separate destinations. Serena first stopped by the hair stylist. She loved listening to the hair stylist talk about this and that while she played with Serena's hair which was lulling the young girl to a peaceful rest. She had thought about changing her hair color but finally decided that she really loved her honey color locks. Instead, she had the hair stylist style it into beautiful wavy curls that would wrap around her body just right. Serena paid the hair stylist before leaving the building, and now for the next destination... sleep.
Serena headed down Vernal Avenue, remembering that a family friend owned a café and was more than willing to provide a room if needed. She soon found herself at Café Classe and immediately went inside to only be greeted by Fiona the owner.
"Serena, darling!" Fiona smiled as she made her way over to Serena, "It is so good to see. How is you mother?"
Serena smiled, "She is doing well. I was wondering if I could take you up on that room?"
"Of course! Of course, but I must ask of a favor." Fiona said as she placed her hands together and bending over causing some of her brown locks to escape her bun, "Could you please help me with the café in the morning, my employee quit on me, and I have business to take care of elsewhere."
Serena though about if for a minute. She said she will meet Calem in the morning but she figured that it would be fine to if she arrived a little bit late, after a moment of deciding she agreed to Fiona's request. She will make it up to Calem later, but right now bed was certainly calling her name.
Serena sat on the bed in the guest room and looked down at her Braixen, Litleo, Skitty, and Charmander whom were already curled up into a ball sleeping peacefully. Serena smiled as she took off her hat placing it on the night stand before falling on her back not even caring that she was still in her dress. She kicked off her boots before lifting her legs on to bed and maneuvering her body so the covers were finally on top of her. She glanced one last time at her pokemon before letting out a soft sigh and closing her blue eyes to get the much needed sleep.
