It was an ordinary summer day. A week had passed since Ashelina's transformation. Everything seemed to be fine. Except... When Ashelina phoned her mom Delia and told her that now she was a girl, Delia said that she was ashamed for her son to become a transgender but she said eventually she will try to accept it as long as Ashelina gives birth to some grandchildren for Delia.
Ashelina didn't really care that much about the change as long as she could continue her dream of becoming a Pokemon Master.
As usual, Ashelina did her morning exercise with her pokemon who accepted Ashelina's gender change without any questions. Since Ashelina used to be a boy, she wasn't used to wearing a bra and she was uncomfortable with it so she didn't wear it. She noticed how Serena would sometimes stare at her body. She used to do that before the transformation too, but now, when Ashelina was a girl, she started feeling unfamiliAR emoTIONS fluttering in her heart like butterflies whenever she would engage with Serena in eye contact or direct contact like holding hands or sitting close together.
It was her new pure heart of a girl seeking for romance. Now this is something that really scared Ashelina. When she was a boy, she never felt this way. But now, now everything was completely different. It was as if not only her body changed but her soul as well. As a boy, she never experienced emotions of such quality. She was even somewhat beginning to understand Serena as a girl. She discovered qualities of her personality that she never thought she had. She became much more gentle. She still loved battling, but she now always wanted to make a good impression on people and thus she tried to look pretty.
She was scared about how drastically she was changing so she asked Serena for advice. She sat next to her on the grass after breakfast.
"H-hey, Serena, I need to talk with you."
"Yes?"
"You see, whenever I touch ... your hand (blushes), I feel something strange. I-i never felt like this before. I'm s-sorry, I'm probably acting really strange but-"
Serena put her hand on top of Ashelina's.
Serena smiled sincerely at Ashelina's words and looked her in the eyes.
"Do you like this feeling?"
"..." Ashelina couldn't say anything. Ashelina suddenly blushed even harder, broke the eye contact and looked straight in front of herself, purposefully avoiding Serena's eyes.
Serena, without saying a word, stood up and left Ashelina alone and went to train her own Pokemon.
Ashelina looked at Serena's back as she was leaving her on the grass.
"Serena... just what did you want to say to me?"
