Chapter 35 Kalos league begins.
Summary: Ash, Serena and Dawn arrive at the Kalos league, finding out how the brackets work for them.
Ash, Serena and Dawn walked up to the main entrance of the Kalos league, the number of people walking around was too much for the two trainers to digest and the hard work that Ash and Serena had endured had brought them to this competition, "hey look that's a Torterra," Ash pointed to the large green pokemon native to the Sinnoh Region.
"And that is a Charizard," Serena pointed at the large orange winged pokemon. The two trainer's showing their excitement started to realise that register for the league.
Ash glanced of his left shoulder to see Dawn was dawdling with her Piplup in her arms, "come on Dawn, we need to register," Ash called over to his friend, he ran off, but before he could enter the building a man with short purple hair exited the building, "Paul, glad to see that you made it," Ash cheerfully told his friend.
"You asked me to come here, why?" Paul enquired coldly.
Ash started to chuckle nervously, scratching the back of his head, "Hey Dawn, Serena and I are going to go inside please wait outside for a moment," Ash instructed the bluenette.
Dawn walked up to the building, she looked up and glared at the purple haired trainer, "Paul," Dawn hissed at the man.
'This is just great, this is why Ash requested that I show up,' Paul complained to himself, the two people turned away from one another not wanting to even make eye contact, "so you followed him again," Paul hissed at the bluenette.
Meanwhile in the registration Ash and Serena were waiting in the queue, "so Ash, not too long now, and we will be competing against one another," Serena noted the obvious to Ash, the long line moved slowly letting Ash and Serena move slowly.
"Are you nervous?" Ash asked his girlfriend calmly.
Serena looked around to see the multitude of trainers partaking in the tournament, "yeah a little," replying with a sense of hesitation.
"That's alright, everyone around the world will be watching us," Ash chuckled.
"E-e…everyone?" Serena stuttered as her face grew a little paler.
'Oh dude, she is so nervous,' Ash thought while grabbing Serena's right hand, "hey as one of my friends usually says, no need to worry," Ash assured the blonde haired trainer with a joyous smile, he pushed Serena to the front of the line allowing her to make the final registrations, "come on Serena, you made it this far," Ash encouraged his girlfriend, he grabbed Serena's hand which contained the badge case holding all the gym badges that she had won throughout her journey in the Kalos region.
'I am so nervous now, why did he have to say everyone is going to watch me battle, what if I make a fool of myself?' Serena thought, her badge case was scanned, Ash let go of her hand and took to the front to let his badge case get scanned next, "you have done this many times before?" Serena whispered while turning to find that Paul and Dawn were standing outside not even making eye contact, "um Ash, those two don't like each other right?" Serena asked the trainer.
"Oh man this is going to be more difficult than expected," Ash turned to see his friends ignoring one another.
"More difficult? You intend to get those two together?" Serena enquired, Ash nodded in reply forcing Serena to let out a sigh, "you're a real handful Ash," Serena replied with a sense of sarcasm.
Ash and Serena started to walk towards the front entrance, with the people completing their registrations, "alright, alright, you caught me out, I got Paul here to hopefully try to win Dawn over, if this fails, I going to hate what might happen when we go to Hoenn," Ash painfully replied, imagining the result of him trying his best to get his friends together, he shuddered at the possibility that Dawn might end up renewing the rivalry with Serena.
"But if this succeeds than that means that Dawn will be happy, wow Ash, you have a lot of work on your hands, I thought I was feeling the pressure of being here and having everybody in the world watching me, but you…" Serena burst out into laughter as she pointed at her boyfriend, "If you fail here," Serena tried her best to string together a sentence.
"I know, I know, I am not in a good position," Ash admitted while approaching his two friends. 'damn, I hate when she is right,' Ash pouted as he waved at his friends with a fake smile. "Alright you two, we are going to get our apartment," Ash announced with a nervous tone.
"Fine, just as long as Paul isn't in the same building," Dawn stated while the group watched Paul walking away from the trio.
Serena walked up to Ash, "nice start Ash," Serena whispered with a hint of sass.
"Oh do shut up," Ash snapped back.
Serena smiled at the trainer knowing what it would mean if he couldn't get Paul and Dawn even talking, 'this could be more entertaining than anticipated,' Serena thought to herself as she walked ahead with Dawn, "come on Dawn, let's find some souvenirs," Serena suggested to her friend.
"Alright Serena, let's see what this place has to offer," Dawn acknowledged, happy to walk with her friend.
Ash looked down at his partner pokemon unable to even smile, "you know buddy, I think Serena might be right, I might of bitten off more than I can chew, but I don't see Serena helping, or maybe she knows what I am doing isn't the right thing to do," Ash said with a shake of his head, he walked towards the trainer village while even looking around for his former rival, who was nowhere to be seen, 'is what I'm doing right?' Ash wondered to himself while thinking of the positive of having Paul and Dawn going out.
Ash walked into the village to find that many trainers were getting ready for the final competiton, "you know buddy, this league is going to be really good," Ash whispered, Pikachu nodded knowing that this completion might be the toughest they have faced yet, Ash scanned the area until his noticed three familiar people, "I thought those three were heading to Hoenn," Ash mouthed in shock.
"He Trevor, Tierno, look over there it's Ash," Shauna announced happily, she rushed over to the trainer and raised her hand for a high five.
'Great that is usually reserved for Dawn,' Ash thought while slapping the hand of Shauna in reply, "I thought you three were heading off to Hoenn," Ash stated in amazement.
"Yeah these two wanted to see you and Serena compete against one another, from what the brackets show, it seems like the only way you two can battle against one another is in the Grand Final," Shauna stated while pointing the main arena's large screen, Ash spotted the brackets that he was in, "wow, I am number one hundred and twenty seven, Serena is number two," Ash replied with even more excitement than ever.
"I am hoping Serena wipes the floor with you," Shauna stated with great confidence.
Ash chuckled at the confidence of the teen and ruffled up her hair, "that's cute, but I have every intention to win this league," Ash replied with equal confidence. Ash walked passed the trio and towards the apartment he had set his eyes on, "you three watch Serena battle, it seems like I will be battling at the same time she does," Ash stated while walking away from the friends.
"Right!" the trio yelled out in unison, watching their friend running off to get the room.
"What you have to be kidding me, there is only one apartment left and it only has two rooms," Ash complained as he looked at the floor plan of the room.
Serena and Dawn walked into the building hearing Ash complained about the apartment that he was being offered, "what's the matter?" Serena asked her boyfriend as gently as possible.
"There is only one apartment with two rooms available," Ash replied with a grimace.
"Yeah so what, Dawn can have one of the rooms, you and I can share one of the rooms," Serena suggested with a broad smile, she approached Ash and leaned into whisper into his right ear; "it isn't like your plan is going to succeed anyway." Serena looked up to the person offering the apartment, "we accept the offer," Serena told the man with a broad smile.
'Great, it seems like I will be sharing my bed with my rival,' Ash complained with a sigh.
"Nothing wrong with that Ashy, we are a couple after all," Serena informed Ash as she pushed her backpack into his arms, she rushed towards the elevator to head to the room.
Dawn approached the trainer and tapped him on the left shoulder, Ash turned to see Dawn with her hands on her hips, seemingly very displeased with him, "Serena told me what you were planning on doing, I am not happy about," Dawn confessed her anger towards Ash.
"Sorry Dawn," Ash replied quietly, "I shouldn't have thought of doing that without your permission," Ash apologized to his friend.
"No problem, maybe it would be best if I make my choices, I am an adult after all," Dawn forgave the trainer as she walked over to the elevator with Ash looking up at the brackets yet again.
"I still think I shouldhelp Dawn out, I am her best friend after all," Ash said before being shocked by his partner pokemon, "alright I will stay out of it," Ash promised his powerful yellow mouse. He walked to the elevator to get the night's sleep he had been waiting for, 'I wonder where is Paul, I haven't seen him since a few hours ago,' Ash noticed the lack of presence of his former rival.
"Hurry up Ash!" Serena called for Ash to move faster.
(The next Day)
Serena stood at one end of the battlefield the crowd were screaming as the opposing combatant entered the arena, a male trainer with short brown hair, wearing a red shirt and blue jeans, "let the first battle commence, this battle will be a two on two battle," the referee announced to the two trainer.
"Klefki, time to battle," the young man called out a silver pokemon with keys on the ring and a small face at the top of the ring.
"Pikachu, I choose you," Serena called for her first pokemon of the battle. The crowd grew ever louder as the two trainers awaited for the ref to begin the battle, 'here goes nothing,' Serena gulped as the crowd began to drown out her thoughts.
"Let the battle begin," the referee signified for the first battle to start.
The crowd grew silent with anticipation, the two trainers waited for the other to make a move, while their respective pokemon stod in the middle of the battlefield waiting for the commands from their respective trainers. Serena took a quick glance to the left and noticed that Ash wasn't there, but sitting in the crowd was her friends from Vaniville Town, 'glad they could make it,' Serena thought before returning her attention to the battle.
"Alright Klefki, start this battle with Dazzling Gleam," the opposing trainer announced the first attack of the battle, a powerful wave of light appeared pulsing towards Serena's Pikachu.
"Pikachu, use your tail to jump into the air," Serena called for her pokemon to evade the attack, using her tail, the electric mouse catapulted herself into the air.
"Now that there is no chance of dodging, Klefki attack with Foul Play," the opposing trainer announced the next attack on Serena's Pikachu.
'My Pikachu's ability is static,' Serena thought to herself, the blonde haired trainer kept her cool, "Pikachu, take the attack, but use Play Nice, to lower Klefki's attack," Serena instructed her pokemon to counter the opposing pokemon. Pikachu put on a cute appearance causing the opposing pokemon to grow nervous.
The key ring pokemon slammed into the electric mouse, dealing a small amount of damage to Serena's pokemon, Klefki hovered over the battlefield with arches of lightning surrounding the fairy type pokemon, "she let my Klefki hit her Pikachu," the man stated with shock, before noticing the determined expression of the Vaniville native.
"My turn to attack," Serena professed with growing confidence, "Pikachu attack with Thunderbolt," Serena ordered her Pikachu to counter attack. The electric mouse charged up for a devastating attack.
"Quick Klefki, use Mirror Shot," the opposing trainer called for the next attack.
"Hold the attack back, then dodge Klefki's attack," Serena issued her command, the electric mouse ran to the side as the key ring pokemon charged up a silver ball of energy, "now use Double Team," Serena called out, much to the shock of her opponent the electric mouse, who was still holding back the energy for the incoming attack.
"No way, what am I supposed to do now?" the young man asked himself in awe at Serena's battle style, he started to panic as one of the doubles took the hit, "that wasn't it," Serena's opponent gasped in shock.
"Volt Tackle," Serena quietly issued her command, the electric mouse charged towards the fairy type pokemon hitting it with a vicious tackling attack knocking it to the ground, "now end this with Thunderbolt," Serena called for the next attack of the round. Pikachu, leapt into the air unleashing a powerful blast of electricity which still surrounded Serena's pokemon.
"Klefki!" the opponent yelled out for his pokemon, taking a powerful shot from the blinding bolt of electricity.
After the attack cleared up, the referee raised the flag towards Serena giving her the first round, Pikachu now reeling from the effects of a vicious Volt Tackle, awaited the next pokemon to appear from the trainer, "Klefki, you did well," the young trainer stated with great pride, he pulled out his second and last pokeball for the battle against Serena, "Sceptile, it's show time," the man called for a larger bipedal pokemon with a leafy green tail and two arm blades.
"A grass type pokemon," Serena muttered quickly.
The referee called for the next round of the battle to begin, "Sceptile attack with Leaf Blade," the young man announced the first attack of a new round.
"Pikachu, use Double Team," Serena ordered her pokemon. Before the electric mouse could separate to form a double team the forest pokemon rushed at the opposing pokemon, slashing at the electric mouse with his arm blades sending Pikachu flying towards Serena, "no way that was fast," Serena gasped in horror as her pokemon slowly got to her feet, before collapsing yet again, "in one hit," Serena stated as the referee announced the winner of the quick round.
"So how do you like my strongest pokemon? It was given to me by a friend of mine in Hoenn," the young trainer informed the Kalos native.
"It is strong, but maybe you should take a closer look at your pokemon, hitting my Pikachu was a mistake," Serena called back her pokemon and preparing to call out her next pokemon, "this one should be more than a match for your Sceptile, Blaziken I choose you," Serena called out her final pokemon for the battle.
"Let the battle begin," the official announced calmly.
"Speed is the key, Sceptile start this battle with Slam," Serena's opponent announced an attack to start the round against the fire type pokemon.
"Blaziken, stand your ground, then attack with Blaze Kick," Serena instructed her powerful pokemon, standing his ground the fire type waited for the grass type to slam his tail down on him, the blaze pokemon's foot started to get engulfed in flames, kicking the grass type causing the two attacks to collide. The two pokemon slid back from the force of the powerful attacks.
The opposing trainer gritted his teeth knowing that not much was done in that small excahnage, "my Sceptile is still faster!" the frustrated foe announced.
'You would like to think that, my Blaziken has the Speed Boost ability, not even my starter pokemon is as strong as Blaziken,' Serena watched the growing frustrations of the opposing trainer.
"Attack with Leaf Blade," the male trainer announced the next attack, the forest pokemon ran towards Serena's pokemon with blinding speed, the only thing that was visible was the green blades that protruded from the grass types arms.
"Evade it now," Serena barked out her instructions to her fire type pokemon. Blaziken jumped to the left barely evading the attack, landing in front of Serena the wrists of the fire type pokemon were surrounded in flames.
It was then that the male trainer noticed a glowing gem around the neck of the fire type, "she can Mega-Evolve Blaziken," the man whispered in shock, but was still in awe at the speed that was shown by the opposing pokemon, "Blaziken is also getting faster," he whispered as his pokemon prepared for the next attack, "Blaziken, evade the attack again," Serena commanded her pokemon with a confident tone.
Before the Leaf Blade made contact Blaziken performed a backflip to dodge the powerful attack, easily dodging the attack, "what's going on?" the opposing trainer asked in shock.
"Just wait a little longer Blaziken," Serena informed her powerful teammate.
The other trainer started to get impatient with Serena's defensive strategy, but also failed to notice the exhaustion in his pokemon, "Sceptile attack now with Solar Beam," the foe impatiently issued his command.
Serena's eyes glinted for a moment, knowing that it was the time to counter attack against the powerful foe, "Blaziken, now is the time, use Flare Blitz!" Serena ordered her blaze pokemon to attack recklessly.
Serena's pokemon ran towards the grass type pokemon at full speed, glowing with a blue flaming aura, the forest pokemon's nods on his back started to gather energy from the sun, and getting ready to fire the attack, but before Sceptile could unleash the powerful beam at the charging fire type, he was overwhelmed by the speed of Blaziken.
"End this battle Blaziken!" Serena yelled out energetically. The fire type started kicking and punching the grass type, using flaming feet and claws to injure the opponent, after a quick flurry of attacks the forest pokemon was sent flying towards the wall, unable to battle against Serena and her pokemon.
"Sceptile is unable to battle, the winner of this round is Serena from Vaniville Town," the referee announced quickly raising and pointing the green flag towards Serena. The roar of the crowd erupted while Serena looked around, in awe at the sheer volume that was being heard inside the arena.
Serena walked towards her defeated foe and extended her hand to thank him for the battle, "that was a great battle," Serena confessed to the trainer.
"Yeah, I guess, I have a lot to learn, like why Blaziken was getting faster," the young man stated with a smile, he shook Serena's hand and turned towards the entrance.
Serena turned towards the roaring crowd and waved at them, it was in that instant that she knew that Ash might be battling against his first foe, she ran out of the arena and towards the exit, 'I hope I can get there in time,' She thought to herself as she ran out of the arena hoping to get a glimpse of Ash battling.
Meanwhile in the colosseum across the street Ash was in the middle of the arena with his first pokemon beaten by a powerful trainer, Ash smirked knowing that he was going to have a difficult time dealing with this foe, "Pikachu, this battle is all yours," Ash informed his starter pokemon, the electric mouse leapt into the battlefield getting ready to face the powerful white pokemon who had knocked out his Pyroar, "that Swanna isn't all bad," Ash stated while glaring at the man with red hair and wearing a tuxedo.
"Swanna, attack with Brave Bird," the man called for the first attack of the round.
"Pikachu dodge the attack," Ash barked out his command, his partner pokemon waited for the last second to dodge the attack, the electric mouse jumped back as the flying type crashed into the ground after not being able to regain control, "now buddy attack with Thunderbolt," Ash barked out his command.
"Swanna!" the man called out in horror, watching his pokemon reeling from the devastating miss, he watched Pikachu hurl a powerful blast of electricity at his pokemon, making contact and knocking out his first pokemon with just one hit.
Ash watched his opponent recall his pokemon and waited for his foe to bring out the next one, Ash watched the man call out a brown pokemon with metal claws and hood, "oh man, this is going to be trouble," Ash slowly told himself seeing the ground type pokemon letting out a roar, "Excadrill," Ash chuckled.
"You will not win that easily," the opposing trainer informed Ash with a confident smirk.
Ash scratched the back of his head wondering what he was going to do in this round, Pikachu his only pokemon left in this two on two battle, "well I better think of something," Ash laughed at the situation he was in.
"Excadrill end this with Horn Drill," the opposing trainer instructed his pokemon quickly.
"Pikachu evade the attack now," Ash ordered his pokemon without a second thought, 'I need to wait for an opening,' Ash thought to himself as he watch his starter pokemon dodge the powerful attack, 'I cannot use electric attacks, my Iron Tail will not cause much damage and Quick Attack isn't strong enough to deal a lot of damage,' Ash started to think about a way to win this battle.
"Use Bulldoze now," the trainer opposite Ash called for the next attack.
"Pikachu, evade once again," Ash instructed his pokemon to defend, "Pikachu, use Quick Attack," Ash called for a fast counter, his Pikachu charged in and hit the opposing pokemon with a powerful tackle, "now jump out of the way before it gets the chance to counter attack," Ash gave out his instructions, the opposing ground type was then commanded to use Horn Drill, in the nick of time Pikachu leapt out of the way yet again barely evading the attack.
Dawn was watching in horror as the trainer she promised to cheer in this tournament was having a difficult time in the battle, "come on Ash, you can do it!" Dawn cheered her friend on as loud as she could possibly muster.
"Hit and run, man I hate that tactic," Ash whispered to himself while the opposing pokemon charged in with its claws glowing ready to slash down on his partner pokemon, "Metal Claw," Ash whispered immediately recognising the attack, "Pikachu dodge again," Ash called for the defensive move, Pikachu jumped back barely dodging the slashing attack, "now use Iron Tail combined with Quick Attack," Ash gave out another command, his partner pokemon charged in with his tail glowing and stiffening.
"Now use Horn Drill," the opposing trainer called for the next attack.
"Pikachu use you Iron Tail to jump into the air," Ash quickly panicked in his next instruction, Pikachu flipped and used his tail to catapult himself into the air, easily dodging another attempt of a Horn Drill, "this is becoming a real pain," Ash hissed in frustration, his Pikachu still in the air, "Iron Tail yet again, combine it with Quick Attack," Ash commanded his pokemon to counter attack.
"Use Metal Claw," Ash's foe called for the next attack.
Pikachu's tail started to glow again, spinning around as the opposing pokemon's claws started glowing, the two pokemon's attacks collided in the air, with the momentum gathered by Quick Attack Pikachu was able to send the opposing pokemon crashing into the ground with incredible force.
Serena walked into the arena to see Ash struggling in his first battle against the trainer, "oh wow, is Ash still battling?" Serena asked herself as she spotted Pikachu standing while the opposing Excadrill got back up and got ready to continue the battle against Ash's Pikachu, "oh no Ash's Pikachu has a severe disadvantage," Serena gasped in shock as she started to realise that her and Ash might not even battle in the final, "come on Ash you can win this!" Serena did her best to cheer Ash on.
"That's what I am trying to do," Ash whispered, grinding his teeth together while trying to figure out what to do next, "all these hit and run attacks is taking its toll on Pikachu, but then again they are also taking their toll on Excadrill," Ash proclaimed while the two pokemon were staring at one another panting. Ash knew that this situation was going to get worse if he did nothing, but before he was about to give up he noticed a bright spark of electricity coiling around the opposing pokemon, "oh right Static," Ash commented. A smile graced his lips as his hopes of winning were restored.
"Metal Claw again," the opposing trainer barked out his command.
"Pikachu use Thunderbolt to raise some dust," Ash called out to his partner pokemon.
Ash's opponent let out a confident laugh, seeing the electric attack disperse from the electric mouse, "there is no point in that move," the young man stated but not noticing that there was a plan in play. As the dust cleared up Excadrill and his trainer noticed that Pikachu had vanished, "what, so it was a diversion," he said with a frown, trying to search for the electric type pokemon.
"Alright buddy end this with Iron Tail and Quick Attack combo," Ash called out to his Pikachu.
Pikachu who was in the air rushed downwards with his tail glowing white, slashed down with all the momentum he could muster knocking down the Sub terrene pokemon much to the shock of the crowd and the trainers watching the battle, "no way, did my Excadrill just get beaten by a Pikachu?" the opposing trainer asked himself in shock at what had happened.
"Yes we won!" Ash jumped for joy, his partner pokemon leapt into his hands happy to earn the tough victory, "I guess we were pretty lucky," Ash admitted to his partner pokemon, he walked slowly towards his foe as the crowd continued to cheer loudly.
The opponent approached Ash with a proud smile, "that was a great battle," he stated while extending his left hand out to Ash.
"Yeah thanks," Ash replied, shaking his opponent's hand.
The two trainers turned away and walked back to the rest rooms, Ash spotted Serena walking up to him, "that was close," Serena stated while nodding at her boyfriend.
"Yeah, well we better head back to our apartment, to get ready for tomorrow, from what the organisers said, we will be battling two battles," Ash informed his girlfriend, trying his best to supress his excitement for the competition.
"So we will be battling at the same time tomorrow," Serena said with a frown, Ash nodded and walked passed Serena who stared at her rival with a determined expression, 'I cannot wait to battle you in the grand final,' Serena reminded herself still maintaining the determined face.
(Three Hours later)
Ash, Serena and Dawn were sitting at the table having dinner, "wow Serena, you're a great cook, you certainly will make the perfect wife for Ash," Dawn blurted out, causing Serena to blush heavily at the compliment that her friend was making towards her, Dawn turned her attention to Serena and noticed the blush on Serena, "wow Serena, you certainly got flustered really fast," Dawn teased her friend.
"Shut up, I um…. This is embarrassing," Serena replied embarrassed by her friend's tone, she turned away to avoid the scrutiny of Dawn, 'of course I want to be Ash's wife, wait I am not ready yet,' Serena thought to herself as she took a quick glance over her shoulder, "I am…. Going to get some dessert," Serena said while running towards the cooking area.
Ash watched Serena hiding her blush, "you know Dawn, this is nothing to do with you," Ash replied to Dawn.
"Oh right, says the person trying to force two of his friends to go out with one another," Dawn replied, waving her hand, playfully smiling at her best friend. Dawn turned her gaze to Serena and with a more serious expression, letting out a sigh, "so when are you going to ask her?" Dawn asked her friend.
"Not yet, we are planning on traveling the world first," Ash professed to the bluenette.
"I see, well I will be aiming to become Serena's best friend, in fact, I will be traveling with you to help Serena become a better coordinator, you can help her train in battles," Dawn explained her goal to Ash before hearing Serena walking into the dining area with bowls of dessert, they immediately stopped the conversation knowing how much it would make Serena blush, "this looks amazing Serena," Dawn complimented her friend happily taking the spoon and digging into the dessert that was given to her.
"Yeah this is amazing Serena," Ash decreed after swallowing the first spoonful of food.
The trio sat at the table happily eating the dessert while the groups pokemon enjoyed the food, "so Ash, have you decided what pokemon you will use tomorrow? You have a maximum of four choices," Serena enquired, wondering how Ash was going to get through the next days' worth of competition.
"Yeah, I have a few surprises tomorrow," Ash replied, picking up his empty bowl and heading toward the kitchen to clean the dishes up, 'at least they are getting along a little better,' Ash thought to himself, 'better not think of it, they might end up fighting again,' Ash reminded himself while feeling his left pocket for the box that he bought a while ago, 'it's decided I will wait until our travels are over,' Ash resolved. He continued the clean up and thought about Dawn's intentions in this next stage in their journeys, 'me the Elite Four challenge, Serena wants to compete in the Pokemon Leagues and Contests, Dawn will most likely be her rival as well,' Ash continued his thought about the future travels.
The first battles of the Kalos league have ended in success, the next day of battling is on its way as Ash and Serena continue on their respective path to battle one another. And Ash's plan to get two of his friends has shown the first signs of failure, will he continue to push through with it? Or will he give up.
Next up chapter 36: Day 2, the path to the finals
In the next Amourshipping story the plan is that Ash will be his mirror version while I will have Serena being a tsundere to Ash, but that is coming up later on down the track.
It has also come to my attention that some want to have sequel, I don't know guys, not sure whether to go through with it or not.
