(20 Minutes Later)
Ash and Serena are both cuddled with each other on the couch.
"I think we should fight more often." Ash says with a smile.
"Why?" Serena asks with a puzzled expression.
"So that I can cuddle with you more often." Ash says while pressing his face into her neck and kissing it.
"Ash you know you can cuddle with me whenever you want to right." Serena replies.
"I know. But then we won't get this natural feeling of wanting to cuddle." Ash says as he continues to kiss Serena's neck.
Serena giggles in delight. Suddenly a rumbling sound comes from Ash's stomach much to his embarrassment. Both of them look at each other for a moment before laughing.
"Maybe my Ashy needs some lunch before he can cuddle with me properly." Serena says while smirking.
Suddenly Ash's face becomes concerned and he sits up deep in thought.
"What's wrong Ash?" Serena says while sitting upright as well.
"Nothing. Now that you mentioned lunch something is bugging me. Something we were supposed to do but forgot." Ash quietly says.
Both Ash and Serena get immersed in thought when it suddenly hits them both at the same time.
They both look at each other and say in unison "We were supposed to meet Clemont after lunch. We are already half an hour late."
Both Ash and Serena jump out of the couch. They pick up everything needed and bolt out of the apartment.
(Half an hour Later)
"Well we have reached Prism tower. Where is Clemont?" Serena asks Ash.
"If you are looking for my brother he is inside. Apparently one of the gym's electrical systems broke down an hour ago. He told me to wait here for you to tell you that he will be late." Bonnie says while approaching the couple.
"What a relief!" Ash and Serena say in unison.
"So how long is it going to take him?" Serena asks Bonnie.
"An hour at the most." Bonnie replies.
"That's excellent. We can get some food then." Ash says in excitement.
"I know I am starving." Serena replies.
"If you two don't mind may I come as well. I am also feeling kinda hungry." Bonnie says while looking at the couple hopefully.
Ash and Serena both look at each other and then say in unison "Sure."
(1 hour later)
"That was good." Ash says with Pikachu perched on his shoulder.
Serena and Bonnie nod their heads in agreement. As they are walking they see Clemont waiting for them. Upon seeing them Clemont smiles and waves his hand.
"So Clemont ready to go?" Ash asks.
"Yup." Clemont says while putting on his bag pack.
"Alright then let's go to Serena's Limousine. We will get out at the end of Lumiose city and then walk to Cyllage City." Ash replies.
"Hold on a second. I can't leave just yet." Clemont says.
"Why not?" Ash asks Clemont.
"Well the thing is my dad Meyer is coming in 15-20 minutes to pick Bonnie up. When he comes then we can be about our way. In the mean time why not take a personalized tour of Prism Tower."
"That sounds like fun." Serena says.
All four of them agree and go inside Prism tower. They first come to the main door. A computerized voice speaks out "Welcome to the Lumiose Gym. If you wish to challenge the Gym leader for a Gym battle you need at least 4 badges."
Clemont calmly says "Override code Dedenne".
Upon hearing that the door open and a Computerized voice is heard again "Welcome to the Lumiose City Gym."
"Wow. That is so cool. You actually have a security system like that. It's incredible. It reminds me of Volkner's gym back in the Sinnoh region of course this one is even better." Ash says as he stares in marvel at the mechanization inside the Lumiose Gym.
"Volkner huh. I have heard of him. Isn't he a electric type gym leader like me?" Clemont questions Ash.
"Yup. You are right. He is very good friends with Flint of the Sinnoh elite four. He is a very good gym leader. I was actually pushed to the limit while battling him." Ash replies with a smile.
"Interesting." Clemont replies as the group keeps walking.
"Here is the battlefield surrounded by the viewing area." Bonnie says while gesturing to the battlefield.
"Nice." Serena says while continuing to walk.
Soon they see all the parts of the Prism Tower. Both Ash and Serena are quite impressed at the tour. They stop for a cup of tea in the living room. As they are sipping tea and talking Meyer enters the room and gives everyone a smile.
"Dad." Bonnie and Clemont shout as Bonnie leaps out of her chair and crashes into her dad for a hug.
"Hey Bonnie. Hey Dedenne. Hey Clemont. I see you have guests." Meyer say while waving at Ash and Serena.
"Hi I am Ash the KIP Champion." Ash says while bowing.
"Hi I am Serena the Kalos Queen." Serena says while smiling.
"I know who you two are. Clemont has told me all about you two. It is good that you are travelling with my son. It will be a good experience for him." Meyer says while grabbing a cup himself.
"So what do you do Meyer?" Ash asks him.
"Well I run an electronic store and when Clemont is not here I am the Lumiose City Gym Leader." Meyer says while taking a sip.
All 5 of them laugh and talk for about half an hour.
"Alright then. It was good to meet you both Meyer and Bonnie. But we really must be on our way now." Ash says while standing up. Clemont and Serena stand up as well.
All 5 of them get up and walk outside the gym.
"Alright then good luck kids. I hope you kids have fun and learn a lot. Just take care of my little boy. Will you?" Meyer says.
"Of course we will." Ash and Serena reply.
"And don't forget Clemont I will find you a keeper while you are travelling on the journey." Bonnie says with a mischievous smirk.
"Bonnie I have told you to stop doing that a million times." Clemont shouts at the top of his voice going completely red in embarrassment while the four of them laugh their lungs out.
After the 3 of them climb into Serena's Limousine they both wave Bonnie and Meyer goodbye as they drive away.
(After 20 minutes)
The trio are once again on the road walking towards Cyllage City while Harry takes his Limousine to await them at Camphrier town.
"Good to be back on the road. Isn't it Pikachu." Ash says while walking.
"Pika." Pikachu says while agreeing.
Both Serena and Clemont smile at this. They keep walking on their way to Cyllage city gym.
(2 hours Later)
"Why don't we take a break?" Serena says while barely able to stand on her feet.
"Yup. I agree." Clemont says while collapsing on the ground.
"A break is just what we need. Why not set up camp here an call it a night?" Ash says.
"An excellent idea. I will just whip up some food while you two set up the tents." Clemont says while taking out his cooking equipment.
"Alright then let's get to work." Ash says.
(1 hour Later)
"I must say Clemont lovely stew. Goes well with Lumiose City bread. Also the Pokemon also seem to be eating well." Serena says while gesturing to all the Pokemon gorging on their food.
"Thanks no problem." Clemont replies.
"Here I have some Macaroons for desert." Serena says while opening a box and taking out 6 Macaroons with 2 each for the both of them.
"Excellent." Ash and Clemont say after finishing of their Macaroons. Serena smiles as she finishes her 2 macaroons.
Suddenly an explosion takes place in the woods nearby.
"What was that?" Clemont says while getting up.
"Could be trouble we should check it out." Ash says.
Both Serena and Clemont nod while all 3 of them recall all their Pokemon into their Poke-balls and run off towards the source of the explosion to investigate.
