A/N: Hello, everyone! I'm back with a new sequel! This takes place after Ash and Serena become Kalos Champion and Kalos Queen, respectfully, because I am incredibly lazy. If you want to know their ages (and other stuff), check my other story. And yes, Misty will be here. I hope you like this one!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Pokemon. :(

Now, onto the first chappie!

Serena gaped at how beautifully simple Pallet Town was. It was the perfect balance of people and nature. Honestly, she felt right at home right away. Clemont and Bonnie were also surprised, due to them living in a city for almost their whole lives. Miette, Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna were going to arrive by bus later in the day.

A warm hand enveloped hers, and immediately, if that was even possible, her happiness increased more. Serena couldn't think of a better life-she had friends, family, Kalos Queendom, and most of all...a boyfriend. Yes, Serena was able to snag her lifelong love and friend, Ash Ketchum. She smiled and leaned on him.

"Pallet Town is so pretty! No wonder you were so eager to get back," she noted. Ash smiled. "That, and the fact that my mom's gonna be hosting a reunion, and all of my friends are gonna be here. Oh, man, Brock is gonna be so pissed." Serena looked up at him. "Who's Brock?" Ash smiled, as if he was looking back fondly. "He was one of my friends who traveled with me through four regions, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Right now, he's training to be a doctor." Serena looked confused. "But why would he be pissed?" Ash grinned. "Brock is a...flirt, I guess. He gets infatuated with all the Nurse Joys, Officer Jennys, and...basically, all pretty girls. He usually gets pulled away by Misty, or Max, or later Croagunk. You remember Misty and Max, right? Ya know, the orange haired girl and the small boy with the glasses."

Serena laughed, but in her mind she repeated the name. So, the girl's name is Misty, huh?

Misty hummed as she walked down the road. She hugged her Azurill tightly. I can't believe I'm going to see Ash again! It's been, what, two years now? I can't wait, especially since I want to confess to him. He's nice, and kind, and even though we fought, well, Brock said we fought like a married couple, right? So we should be destined to be together, right?

Then she realized, with a jolt, Oh, no! I forgot, he didn't just go to Hoenn! What about Sinnoh, Unova, and...Kalos, I think? There are so many girls there! He couldn't have fallen in love with them, right?

She thought back. She and May had become fast friends, and they had kept in contact even after she left Hoenn. She knew that May had a boyfriend, Drew or something. She remembered May talking about Dawn, who seemed to like her childhood friend Kenny. And she vaguely remembered something about a wild girl in Unova, so Ash probably couldn't find a girlfriend there. But Kalos? No one knew what Ash did in Kalos.

Come on, Misty, there are tons of reasons why he'd totally want to date you, right? You're attractive enough, you're both trainers, and...yeah!

Plus, Ash is so dense. Any other girls would totally give up on him. He's free for you.

Misty smiled, and soon Pallet Town was in view.

Ash, here I come.

Serena nervously clutched at Ash's arm as Ash rang the doorbell. What if Ms. Ketchum hates me?

A cheerful, middle-aged brunette opened the door. Her eyes widened and filled with tears. "A-Ash? Is that...you?"

As Serena stepped aside, Ash opened his arms wide. "Hey, Mom. I'm home. For a while, actually."

Delia hugged her son tightly before noticing a pair of siblings and another girl waiting patiently behind him. She smiled and wiped away the residual tears on her cheeks. "And you must be Ash's Kalos friends. Ash's told me all about you guys! Especially you," she said, pointing to Serena. The couple blushed. Delia laughed. "Just teasing, kiddos. Anyways, come on in!"

Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie stepped inside tentatively. Suddenly, something yelled "MIME MIME!" Serena screamed and immediately hid behind Ash, who only chuckled. "Don't worry, Serena. It's just my mom's housekeeper, Mr. Mime. He likes to be called Mimey." A funny-looking Pokemon hopped out from behind Serena. She smiled and patted Mr. Mime's head. "Hi, Mimey." "So, this is Clemont, Bonnie, and my...I mean Serena," Man! Why did you nearly give that away?

Delia noticed how close the two seemed, and decided to press them a little.

"Soooo, Ash, have you been thinking about anyone lately?" Ash immediately said, "Yes!" before his eyes widened, his face flamed into a bright red, and he slapped a hand over his mouth. Delia couldn't take it anymore, and almost fell over laughing. "So who's your giiiiiiiirlfriend?" Bonnie and Clemont both pointed to a now crimson red Serena. Delia laughed. "This just keeps getting better and better."

Ash shrugged while attempting to cool down his bright red face. "Well, um...well, I guess I should probably stick with the boring formalities. Clemont is the Lumiose City Gym Leader," What is it with Ash and gym leaders? Delia thought. "Bonnie's Clemont's little sister, and...Serena is..." He looked at her, and she nodded. "Serena is...well, she's my girlfriend." Delia's eyes widened. "Awww, my little baby is growing up already!" She pinched Ash's cheeks eagerly. "I can't wait to tell your mom!" she said to Serena. Serena straightened. "What-? When did you get my mom's number?" Delia smiled. "Well, Mr. Chattypants here wouldn't stop talking about you, and the name Serena rang a bell. It turns out that Mrs. Yvonne was part of a book group we attended many years ago. We shared numbers, and now our favorite topic is you guys!"

Before Delia could continue fangirling, the doorbell rang. As she ran to get the door, Serena smiled and kissed Ash's cheek. "I like her. Me and your mom are going to be good friends!" She looped her arm around his, and as she leaned her head on his, they smiled contentedly. Suddenly, a cry broke them apart.

"Ash!"

"M...Misty?!"

A/N: OOOH HERE IT COMES! I know you are all dying to get to the next chapter, but sorry guys, not yet...

If Misty sounds uncharacteristically sappy and lovesick, sorry. I'll probably make up some before story later on.

Yours in demigodishness,
