Dear Guest:

Oblivion Yveltal lol vintrail is a pearlshipping, so i'm sure vintrail will end this fanfic by making ash and dawn a couple. amourshippers be careful, this isn't what you're looking for

True that I'm a pearlshipper, i'm also an amourshiper aldo less than the first one. Besides amour shipping is one-side cannon from Serena. It should be in every title of fics from now on

Tales of the Road

Chapter 1

"C'mon Dawn worry up." A week later, Dawn cured her home-sickness and was ready to depart to Kanto, she was travelling, much to her despair, with Barry boat would part in 20 minutes and Dawn still wasn't in the port.

That same port were 3 years ago she said goodbye to her friends, she would be taking it now to meet new. Aldo her motives were to see and her old friend.

"Sorry Barry, my mom wanted me to do some last-minute task. Should we go?" As Dawn talked, Barry seemed lost, lost in her eyes, he never took time to look at a girl, but Dawn were dressed to good for him not to notice.

She was wearing a blue skirt, longer then her pink one, a yellow shirt that under it had a blue top. She was still using her pink and white hood. She had black, short, stockings and white and blue sneakers. A rather normal attire, but somehow made quite the impression with her blonde friend.

"BARRY!" "AHHH, sorry Dawn didn't saw you there" "Yeah right.." Mumbled Dawn, still after all those years, Barry was a box full of they got on the ship and made their way to the decks, for the health of Dawn they were staying in separate rooms, she wasn't sure she could take another of Barry stares without slapping him. But has every woman, she liked the attention, wich made her mood come to back its usual self.

One soft night passed and soon they would be in Kanto, both of them meet in the deck of the ship. They were talking about what would they do once they reach Kanto. "So and Dawn what will you do once we arrive?" Dawn looked at Barry, who wasn't looking at her but was facing the sea in front of them. "Well, I kinda wanted to see if Ash was home, after that I think i will just tag along and perform in some contest."

"So Dawn, did you get yourself in a ship, after 3 years away from home because you wanted to see Ash?" Dawn was speechless for a moment, she didn't want to admit it but Barry was right, she was doing something crazy, but in her mind it was the logical thing to do, so without hesitation she answered back to Barry. "That's right, is it odd?"

This time was Dawn that wasn't looking at Barry, she was facing the sea like he was before however, her eyes sparkled, like they were transbording with determination, even someone as Barry could see it, doing a small smile, he said to Dawn. "You know what Dawn, I never saw you so determined as you are now."

"Neither I did Barry, neither I did..."

As the boat reached land both of our friends got out and said goodbye to each other, Dawn soon after it found Frederic in a bench talking to a girl with purple hair 'I guess that is his friend' Dawn approached and started talking to them.

"Hi Frederic" "Oh, Hi Dawn, didn't expect you so early, and I told you to call me Fred already." "Okay sorry, and you are?" Dawn said this while giving her hand to shake with the Purple haired girl.

"My name is Casey! I'm Frederic best friend since we meet in Hoenn!" "Nice to meet how did you two meet?" "It's odd..." Fred was saying before being interrupted "It wasn't you silly! I was in tour rooting for my favorite team, the Electrabuzz! But then my Elekid got into trouble with some guys who were trying to rob Fred here came with his Zoroark and beat the hell out of them!"

"Ahh so nice of you saving the lady!" Fred was embarrassed, truth be told he was becoming very found of Casey, and couldn't hide his blush. "Then i said goodbye to my hero and walked with Fred for some time." Dawn saw both of them clinch, however she didn't knew what she was referring to, so she asked. "Sorry, hero?" "YES, he is the pitcher for the Electrabuzz! We meet while he was injured, but I helped him get back on the field and gave back the courage to his Charizard, then we flew over the clouds in his back, it was so romantic" Casey hold her hands imagining her memories over and over again with her face full of happiness.

'I think Fred doesn't like that so much' And he didn't, Dawn was right, Fred hated that Casey was still stuck to that man. Whom, besides being a lot older than her, didn't saw her like that. "Well i hope you guys don't mind me join you, even if it is just for some time." Dawn said this trying to break the ice, what she didn't knew was that what Casey about to say would break it even more.

"Of course not! As a friend of mine said, the more, the merrier!" "Wait, what friend?Who said that to you?" Dawn was stressed, holding Casey hand hoping she would say the name she wanted to hear.

"Well his name was Ash, but why?" Before Dawn could talk Fred responded for her. "Well maybe Casey that is person Dawn is looking for, am I right?" After the original shock Dawn responded to Fred,"Yes, I'm looking for him" responded a Dawn with happy face, "Do you know where he is Casey?" "Sorry Dawn, I don't see Ash for a long time ago."

Dawn was saddened but that didn't stop her cheerful self and told everyone, "Then let's go to see if her mom knows!" Dawn started walking not even knowing the way to Pallet Town wich lead Casey comment "Uau, she really needs to see him, how can someone reach that point?" "How can you talk about that Casey." Responded a smiling Frederic as the two of them started walking to reach Dawn.

Lumiose City:

"c'MON Ash wake up!" Shoutted Clemont, he was rather in a hurry because he wanted to visit his gym and to make sure the robot was handling it fine. "Leave him, yesterday he was training till late." Serena couldn't be mad at him, she was reunited with her childhood hero and nothing, except him barely noticing her, could break the mood.

"Just five more minutes mom..." Said a sleepy Ash while tugging Pikachu, however this was already awake and didn't enjoy being binded by his trainer so he let out a powerful thunderbolt to wake him up.

"AHHHHH, good morning Pikachu. Why is everyone looking to me?" Clemont and Serena were staring at Ash, while Bonnie was still getting ready, however Serena had a smile on her face wich made Ash smile too, but then he looked over to Clemont who had an angry face. "Hey why are you mad?" "Because... we need to go to gym already!" "Well you seem the only one in a hurry, Serena is happy as an Aipom.

Serena couldn't help in blush, even if he noticed something in her it was already a big deal for her, before she could talk Clemont responded to Ash."But she is always happy around.." Serena covered Clemont mouth, honestly everyone had noticed her crush on Ash, the only one who didn't was himself. " AlWAYS HAPPY yes, isn't that right Clemont!" She shotted while stepping on Clemont.

For her surprise Ash wasn't hearing, he was already getting ready.

On the way to the city's gym, Serena tried to go several shops with Ash but he declined all of them claiming that they had to hurry up. Every time he would say this her, she had a look towards Clemont, full of anger but full of sadness to.

This was until she saw a Muffin Shop, she knew Ash didn't have breakfast so she took the opportunity. 'There is no way he is going to say no to this one' "Hey Ash are you hungry?" While holding her hands behind her back, Ash nodded, and at the same time his belly started making sounds. "Pika-Pikachuu" Sighed is partner Pokémon, some things never changed he said."Where can we eat here then?" Then she took the lead and grabbed Ash arm to the shop while making signal to the other that they would be right back.

"So what about them?" "Oh, we meet up with them after we eat." They proceeded to select a muffin each, Ash choose one with chocolate frost and she picked one with Strawberry one. They went outside and sat at a bench looking to the people pass in the streets of Paris, uups Lumiose right. Ash had finished eating, but Serena was just half way, then Ash talked "Hold on, don't move." Then Ash takes out the handkerchief, the same Serena returned to him just days ago and cleaned her mouth, because it a bit of muffin by the side.

"You, you are using it." "What?" Ash looked at his hand, " Oh, yeah, i mean i saw how much it mean of you so I figured out to keep on using it."

For her, it was shook, the boy she desperately tried to hog for attention did something nice for her. 'Maybe this is just as he is.'

Ash then smiled at Serena, she finished eating the muffin and had a big smile across her face, as a big red blushing too. Then they headed to center of Lumiose side by side to meet up with the rest of the gang at the tower.

"Ash why did you risk your life like that?" Asked a curios Serena. "What do you mean? I will do what is possible for my friends, and Pikachu as my first partner I had to do it!" "Wait, does that mean you that often?" "uhm? Well.. a couple of times already yes." Said Ash looking to the floor thinking of his pass memories.

"Every time is something new, you can't get bored." Concluded Ash. Serena was divided, first her crush had become even more amazing that he already as, and second she was kinda of terrified that Ash could've died so many times.

"So and now?" "uhm? Now what" Serena took a deep breath and said, "Are you still up for more of those adventure?" "More than ever, more than ever. Race you the tower!" "Wait, wait Ash, I want to talk more..." She wasn't amused but understood that was just how Ash was.

Inside the gym:

"How could you have me kicked out of your gym and not tell me it was yours!" Positions were shifted now, Ash was the one angry at Clemont for what happened in his first day in Kalos.

"It's odd! The gym is mine and it isn't!" He replied in a hurry leaving everyone confused. "Elaborate please.." Continued Serena, "The gym is being runned over by a machine that I created to train me, but the machine is better than me so it took over the gym until someone defeated it."

Ash took the sidelines and only said "I'm still mad at you." While Clemont tried to figure out a way of controlling the machine unusual behavior. Both he and Bonnie went deeper in the gym leaving Ash and Serena in the stands.

"Does that mean you won't be supporting Clemont?" She asked towards the angry Ash. "Of course I will, I'm just a bit mad, i would never abandon a friend Serena." Serena look at her for a moment till he broke the silence. "You seem to be like that don't you ?"

"Why is that so?" She was confused, but curious too. "Well you started travelling just so you wouldn't abandon your friend from the you even started cheering for me!Now that is a good friend!" Serena was blushing, Ash was especially kind to her, more than in the other day. "Yeah, i guess that's right."

"Look they came back, let us join them." And Ash jumped from his seat and joined his friend, Serena shortly after, thinking about the boy in front her.

'He really is... something isn't he?'
