So this story is officially six months old! Also its officially if you count the prologue and the special fifty chapters long. The longest I have ever written for really anything. So yeah that's a milestone in of itself. Though I may take a small break for either personal reasons, or for a new project or two. Side project as this is my main focus after all.

Now as per usual I like to give a shout out to the reviewers. So thanks to Amourshipper35, Ri2, bankerrtx01, saptarshiban2003, Anon Omega, Guest, SpiritsOfRhythm, knight7572, and Heracross0122 for your feedback. I also think to thank the readers of the story for your continued support, along with those who fav, and followed the story. Now then let's begin.

Disclaimer: Sadly I'm not Game Freak so I don't own the franchise.


Serena awoke, taking a few minutes to process where she was. She wasn't inside the inner world of herself. A blush formed on her face as she realized two things. First, she was naked with only the covers around her body, and the second was that Ash was with her in the bed as well. Sure she had experienced it just as Serena Y had said, but waking up in the aftermath was something else. 'Good thing I have the pill otherwise.'

Serena started to have a fantasy at these thoughts. Of the two of them with a little girl wanting to be like her father. She bought herself out of this fantasy as something crossed her mind. Serena Y didn't tell Ash about her little plan. Serena glared mentally at herself because of this. 'If you can hear me know we're going to have a talk.'

Ash started to stir awake under her. Serena stopped as Ash opened up his eyes, and still, in a sleep-like, daze he brought her into a kiss. Serena's face deepened before she returned kissed. After a few seconds Ash was finally fully awake a looked at her. "Well, that was one way to wake up."

"Y-yeah it is." Serena pushed aside the whole thing with her other self for now. She had other things to worry about. Looking at the clock she noticed they had at least three hours to get ready for her Showcase. "Ah, do you want the shower first or?"

Ash raised an eyebrow in confusion at this. "Didn't you say we should share the shower together?"

Serena now remembered it. Just before her counterpart fell asleep she had whispered it into Ash's ear with a seductive tone. 'Oh, you have gotta be kidding me.' She knew that she was taking back control. "Actually that was Serena Y."

Ash looked at her before he realized what this meant. In truth, he had kind of forgotten about the different Serena's thing. Serena Y was so similar that he just didn't see anything to make him remember that she was. "Oh, my bad." He blushed in embarrassment.

"W-well," Serena was hesitant at what she was going to do. Yet it wasn't like they hadn't already done it already. Technically it was her other self, but it was still something she experienced. Her heart pounded in her chest as she spoke, "W-we could do it anyway."

Ash looked at her to make sure that this was what she wanted. "You don't have to if you don't want too." He reassured her noticing something of a difference between the two of them.

Serena shook her head at this. The awkwardness of this had passed for her. "Yes, I mean I did say we were going to do it." Technically it might have been the other half of her, but that was still herself. It was still apart of her. 'Besides I think it's my turn for that.' Experiencing it was just not the same as doing it herself.


A hour later the group followed by Shauna, Rosa, and Lysandre were on their way to the Coumarine Showcase Theater. Shauna and Serena walked up front having a small conversation. "So Serena who are you thinking of entering the Showcase with?" She looked over at the Pokemon following with them.

Outside their pokeballs were Braixen, Aegislash, Mismagius, Sylveon, and Absol. The others opted to stay in their pokeballs given how the crowded the city was starting to become, or in Popplio's case because it was nap time. Serena gave Shauna a light laugh at this. "Shauna I'm not going to tell you who I'm using."

"Oh come on you already know who I'm using," Shauna jokily wined as she thought about Serena's choices. "You're using Dragonair right?" Sauna recalled that one of the performers competing this year was rumored to have a shiny Dragonair with her.

Serena did admit having Dragonair or even Milotic compete would give her elegance points. However, just like Milotic with contests, Dragonair didn't want to take part in Pokemon Showcases. Shaking her head Serena responded to Shauna's question, "No Dragonair not one for Showcases," She motioned to Aegislash who floated just behind her. "Just like Aegislash here."

The floating shield and sword didn't seem to pay Shauna any mind. Aegislash was, however, more focused on other things. Absol seemed on high alert which was more than enough to tell him to keep watch for anything amiss. Already he had thought he had spotted a shady yet familiar figure. Though it was for an instant and he didn't want to jump into making a false claim. For all, he knew it could have just been a trick of his eye.

Rosa looked at Ash as he held on to the incubator. "Hey don't mind me asking, where did you and Serena get the egg from?" The young couple and Anabel's faces fell a bit at this. Rosa noticed this and figured she shouldn't have asked it, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked."

"No, it's ok." Serena stopped as she looked at the incubator with a sad look. "Its mother abandoned it when we went to see the Noivern migration." Serena took the incubator from Ash's arms as she held it into her arms with a motherly look. "Me and Ash are going to raise it ourselves."

Serena's declaration brought a smile to both Rosa and Shauna's faces. Lysandre had a chuckle at this. "So, I see you both are taking to be parents a little early than?" He looked at Ash with a stern look on his face, "I don't suppose the two of you have secretly eloped without both me and Grace knowing about it?"

Ash and Serena both turned to him with a deep blush on their faces. Serena had a small fantasy of the two of them running away to become husband and wife before she shook her head. With an annoyed look on her face she glared at her father feeling rather embarrassed, 'Dad!"

Braixen had a giggle at this. The Fox Pokemon didn't want to say it, but she suspected that Serena would try to do so if Ash wanted them too. After all, it wasn't that hard to picture it happening with her. 'Though I do wonder if they would use her last name or Ash's.' If she recalled Kantonians along with their neighbors in Johto had the husband take his wife's last name. 'Ash Yvonne' It sounded a bit weird to her.

Lysandre had a good laugh as he placed his hands on both of their shoulders. "I'm only kidding really," His expression became neutral and soon a bit serious, "Though if you are hoping Laverre City does allow sixteen-year-olds to get married if they have a parental blessing." Lysandre gave them a wink to convey what he was implying to the two of them.

Ash's eye twitched in annoyance at this. Serena, however, could feel something within her telling her to take Ash to Laverre City. She had a good idea who that part was. 'Though me and Ash married…' She blushed at the idea before a question formed in her mind. 'Wait would he be taking my name, or would I be taking his?'

Rosa giggled at the exchange before her. This just caused both Ash and Serena to glare right back at her. "Oh, come on you both can't tell me you aren't thinking about getting married?" The brunette looked at the two of them with a raised eyebrow.

Both of them didn't want to answer back. Of course, they wanted to get married, though Serena knew that Serena Y didn't see it as necessary, they were not ready for that right now. Shauna spoke up to remind everyone what they were doing, "As much fun as talking about their future maybe we still have a Showcase to get too."


"Diancie use Moonblast!" Bonnie yelled out as Diancie formed a ball of fairy energy and tossed it out at Grant's Tyrunt hitting him head-on. Tyrunt stood there for a few moments looking at both Bonnie and Diancie. Finally, Tyrunt fell over unconscious from the battle.

The referee held up their hand calling the match. "Tyrunt is unable to battle! Diancie is the winner! That means the match goes to the challenger Bonnie Volta of Lumiose City!" Both Bonnie and Diancie started to celebrate at this.

On the side, Gallade and Max cheered at this from the sidelines. Grant returned Tyrunt with a sigh before walking up to the two of them. "Well, I shouldn't have expected anything less from the sister of Lumiose Gym Leader." He pulled out the Cliff Badge for her.

Bonnie took it and turned to Diancie and Dedenne with a smile on her face. "Alright, that's three down!" Now both her and Max had three out of the eight badges needed to compete in the Pokemon League.

Max walked up to her as the two gave each other a high looked at his latest two challengers with a smile. "So I take it you both are going to the next gym?" The two young trainers shook their heads.

"No we still have the Cyllage Showcase," Bonnie explained as she motioned to her and Diancie, "We're taking part in it tomorrow."

"Diancie." Diancie was ready to win the second Princess Key with her big sister. They had been practicing for this whenever they could.

Grant had actually forgotten that Cyllage City hosted a Pokemon Showcase each year. It wasn't very popular compared to the other Showcases that happened during this time. Thinking about this he remembered that a Showcase was being held today. "You know if you both want you can watch the Coumarine City Showcase with me." He offered the two of them as he pointed to a tunnel off to the side that had been remade into a door, "I was going to close down the gym in an hour anyway so I can catch the Showcase."

Max turned to Bonnie with a questioning look on his face. The two tried to see if Serena was taking part in a showcase like they had hoped. Yet none of the Showcases going on, or the replies from those from a day ago showed her. "You think we might see Serena?"

"If not then at least we can see who won the Coumarine Showcase." Bonnie was sure that Serena was going to take part in it though. After all, Coumarine was likely the next place for Ash's next gym challenge. However, that didn't mean he was going to Coumarine for all they knew. Bonnie turned to Grant, "Sure if you'll let us we can stay and watch the Showcase with you."


Mismagius looked around as the other performers were getting themselves ready for the Pokemon Showcase. She looked at all the little outfits some were putting on their Pokemon partners. The ghost type turned back as Serena finished putting the last touches on Sylveon's outfit. "There we go." Next to her Popplio tried to adjust her bow back into place.

On the screen, the host for the Coumarine Showcase took on stage. Monsieur Pierre spoke into the microphone as Klefki floated over to him. "Mesdames et Messieurs, I bid you welcome to the Coumarine Showcase!" The sounds of cheers from the audience could be heard from over the screen as the Performers turned too it. "Each of our fine girls will be competing for the chance to win the Coumarine City Princess Key!"

The screen zoomed in showing Klefki with the Coumarine Key around its keyring-like arms. A few of the Performers started to talk amongst themselves at this. "I can't wait to win my second Princess Key." One of them said holding a Princess Key on a keyring to prove her words.

"No way you already won one?" Another Performer around Bonnie's age looked on with amazement and a slight jealousy. Another Performer pulled out a keyring showing that they also had won one.

Mismagius was feeling a bit overwhelmed by this. She looked and saw Sylveon, Braixen, Popplio, and Serena were barely phased by this. Pierre continued with the Performers all turning to the screen as he started to speak about the Theme Performance, "Now our Theme Performance will be a Pokemon Quiz!" The lights showed as three quiz stands popped up just behind him. "Each of our Performers well answers trivia questions, to answer a question, one of their Pokémon must complete a task." He showed a few of the tasks from breaking a boulder to running a race, "The first to answer three questions correctly advances to the second section.'

Some of the Performers started to panic at the idea of having to do a quiz. Some of the more smarter ones took time to laugh at their competitors. Serena thought about who would be the best for the theme part of the Showcase when she turned over to Mismagius. The Magician Pokemon noticed her staring at herself, "What is it?"

"Well, I was thinking of asking if you wanted to take part in the theme performance with me," Serena explained as Mismagius almost jumped, even though she was floating, at this.

Few of the performers noticed this and started to laugh at her choice. A Mismagius wasn't what one thought of when one was going to do things like break stone, run a race, or pull something out of the water. One of the Performers around Seren's age decided to voice their opinion on this choice, "If you wanted to lose why are you even competing?"

Mismagius glared at the girl before Serena stood up and looked at the Performer. "Just because Mismagius is my choice you think we'll going to lose?"

The girls rolled their eyes at her. They didn't think Serena had much of chance if this was all she could say to them. One of them was about to speak when another Performer paused as she recognized her. "Wait, aren't you Serena Yvonne?"

The girls stopped and looked at her before their minds started to realize that she was. The shorter hair had caught them off, but now they could see that it was her. They were competing against the daughter of Lysandre, and a few of them started to feel like they may be at a disadvantage. "Seriously?! Oh, come on she's likely to have been taught by private tutors or something!" One of the Performers started to cry to herself.

Shauna giggled at this. She knew that Serena wasn't taught by private tutors, assuming of course one didn't count Professor Sycamore as one. Actually now Shauna was feeling intimidated by this. Sycamore likely taught her a lot of the questions that the quiz was going to have and then some. 'I wonder though, why did she pick Mismagius to be her partner in the theme performance.'

She could think of some reasons. For one being a shiny made it eye-raising, and it could both float and use Psychic, that much she saw when Mismagius used it to grab something for Serena two days ago.

Braixen for her part turned to the Ghost-type. "So, do you think they would be surprised when you try your phasing trick?" Mismagius turned to her with a curious look on her face at this. "I think you and me both know that's why Serena wanted you along."

Mismagius gave Braixen a nod as she figured that was the case. The truth was Mismagius hoped that it would work out. It took time to focus and whatever challenge they would have to face determined if she or someone else would be better suited. "I won't disappoint."

One of the Showcase workers walked in as she looked at her tablet. "Serena, Shauna, and Missy the three of you are up first." Serena stood up with Mismagius floating next to her. Shauna and one of the performers with a Princess Key to her name, Missy as the lady called joined her as they walked out to the stage.


Serena, Shauna, and Missy each stood in front of their stand with a graduation outfit draped over them. On the side their three Pokemon, Mismagius, Bulbasaur, and Machop respectively. "Si peut avoir votre attention," Pierre spoke to the microphone as the lights focused on him the performers and the Pokemon. "Our first three performers will be competing with only one passing on to the freestyle performance." Behind Monsieur Pierre a large concrete made rock format was lifted on stage before the three Pokemon, "Our performers Pokemon partners will each have to find a ring edged into the rock formation and run back to the starting line in order to answer a question the first to find, and answer three questions will be the winner."

Machop flexed his arms at this. The Fighting-type that this was in the bag. After all, he could break rocks with his fists. "Sorry ladies looks like me and Missy will be winning this."

Bulbasaur rolled her eyes at this. Mismagius focused on the rock formation as she let out a sigh. She readied herself for this hoping to win. "Begin!" Pierre signaled at the pokemon raced towards the boulder.

Machop waited no time his arm glowing as he smashed the rocks with Karate Chop. Bulbasaur let out a barrage of Razor Leaf chipping away at the stone. Mismagius just paused floating at the rock much to the confusion of everyone watching. In the stands, Ash and Anabel watched with a knowing look on their faces. Lysandre looked at the shiny Pokemon was a confused look. "If you don't mind me asking why isn't Mismagius doing anything?"

Anabel pointed to the stage as Lysandre, the rest of the audience, Pierre, and both the two Pokemon and performers that were competing watched as Mismagius phased into the rocks. Pierre spoke into his microphone amazed at seeing such a thing. "Par les légendes! Mismagius phased right through the rocks!"

Mismagius came out blinking as a ring was caught on the top of her hat-shaped head. With a blue glow surrounding her body, it floated off as she raced back to Serena with it. Machop and Bulbasaur pulled themselves from their shook as they picked up the pace both managing to break out a ring of their own. The two raced to the finish line as Mismagius had already passed.

"Serena, what is Eevee's Fairy-type evolution?" Pierre asked reading from the cards.

No sooner had he finished those words did Serena give her answer. "Sylveon."

A dig sound was heard a holographic screen appeared behind the girls with a tally of one behind Serena. Mismagius flew back towards the rock formation as the other two Pokemon made it back the first being Bulbasaur. "Sauna what stone is used to evolve a Kirlia into a Gallade?"

"A Dawn Stone," Shauna replied as a ding sound was heard. The tally behind her going up by one has Bulbasaur raced back.

Machop was the last one to arrive and as such Missy was the last to receive her question. "What does Kyurem represent?" Pierre question caught a lot of the audience off guard themselves.

Despite such an uncommonly asked question, Missy answered it after half a second of thinking. "The absence of Truth and Ideals."

A ding sound was heard as the tally for all three became even. Machop raced off finding Bulbasaur already chipping away at the rocks while Mismagius focused on it. The Superpower Pokemon's fist glowed red as he brought it down with a Focus Punch on the rocks shattering much of it as two rings flew out. Mismagius caught one with Psychic while Machop caught the other. Bulbasaur watched the two of them leaving with disbelieve on her face, "Seriously?!"

Bulbasaur doubled her efforts as both Mismagius and Machop raced back to be first. Machop managed to overtake Mismagius at the last moment. "Missy, what is Gourgeist four sizes?"

"Small Size, Average Size, Large Size, and Super Size," Missy answered receiving a ding and her tally going up to two. Machop wasted no time and raced back to collect another ring as Bulbasaur passed right by.

Pierre flipped to another card for Serena, "Serena how does Sliggoo evolve into Goodra?"

"Sliggoo evolves when it's raining," Serena answered as she received a ding as her score became the same as Missy's.

Mismagius floated off to the rock as Bulbasaur came back with her own ring. Pierre flipped through the cards before asking Shauna her question, "Shauna who is the current Hoenn Champion?"

Shauna had a blank look on her face. "Steven Stone?" A buzzing sound came from her stand as she failed.

"Non, he stepped down a year ago the correct answer is Wallace." Shauna let out a defeated groan at this. Bulbasaur sighed and raced back to the rocks.

Back with the rocks, Machop kept punching away at it finding nothing in the formation he was hitting while Mismagius focused herself. The Ghost-type phased into the rocks yet again as Machop looked on with worry. With his fist glowing red he punched into the rock that Mismagius had entered shattering it apart as the ring went flying out. Mismagius turned aware by the whole thing as Machop jumped to the ring. "At least victory is…"

A blue glow surrounded the ring as it flew past his hands. Mismagius pulled it with her as she floated off to the finish line. "Serena," Pierre looked at the card in his hand, "How does Milotic evolve?"

"Exposure to a Prism Scale," Serena answered having done so herself. A ding sound was heard as Serena's score changed to three.

"Voilà!" Pierre motioned to the honey-haired girl, "Our first finalist is the lovely Serena." The crowd clapped and cheered while both Shauna and Missy let out a defeated sigh.

Shauna turned to Serena with a smile. Even though she had lost there was still other showcases. Missy, however, turned to Serena with her hand held out, "You win some you lose some, it was a pleasure competing against you." Serena took her hand and shook it a smile on her face.


Miette watched on the TV screen as Serena and Mismagius walked off stage. The bluenette had a smile as she watched her win the first event. Malva walked into the room taking notice of what her niece was watching. "The Coumarine Showcase?"

Miette gave her aunt a nod. On the screen, Serena appeared waving to the crowd. Malva paused having recognized the girl. "Wait wasn't She the one you competed against?" She didn't let it slipped that she knew her as Lysandre's daughter.

"Yeah, Serena she's someone I meet years ago," Miette had a slight blush at this and tried to hide it from her aunt.

Malva did catch sight of her blush. She looked at her niece for a few seconds before a mischievous smile formed. "Oh Miette why didn't you tell me you were attracted to girls." Malva teased with a giggle.

Miette blushed heavily at this turning to her aunt with an annoyed look. "I'm not a lesbian through!" Miette wasn't going to deny that she wasn't attracted to girls but that didn't mean she wasn't attracted to the opposite gender. 'Though I do prefer them,'

Malva crossed her arms at this. She felt tempted to call Lysandre about this but shook her head. She knew that his daughter had a boyfriend, 'Though when has a committed relationship mean much to the royal family?'

Until Charles, Harold and Lysandre's father it was not uncommon, or really unlikely to assume the ruler of Kalos had a lover outside their married partner. Just was something that they still had even after many social reforms, the old remnant of the ancient times, as the old saying went. In the last few decades that was no longer the case though that didn't mean it wasn't something, Malva was going to ignore. 'Maybe Serena could think about taking my niece as a concubine?'

Maybe it was a bit far fetched of a thing to ask. Turning her attention back to her niece Malva made up her mind. "Oh, Miette I just got your outfit for the ball ready do you want to take a look at it?"

"Sure, though please don't tell me you got it in red." Miette knew how much her aunt liked the color for their outfits. It's partly why she had to buy her own clothes.


The last group of finalists had been announced and like before Serena was the first to be called up for the freestyle performance. In her arms was Popplio while Mismagius and Sylveon flanked her sides. The three of them had been practicing for this showcase for a few days now and hopefully, that would be enough. "Just to be clear we will be able to fit all of it into our performance?"

Mismagius was having a bit of stage fright. Sure the theme performance was a bit overwhelming but at least it wasn't like this. They were going first and if they didn't make a spectator display it's very likely they would lose. Sylveon wrapped one of her fillers around one of Mismagius extensions to get her to calm down. "You're overthinking it too much." Sylveon gave her a smile as she removed her filler.

Popplio turned over to Mismagius with a joyful look. "Don't worry aunt Mismagius were going to win this don't you worry!"

Popplip's declaration caused a small smile to form on Serena's face. Leave it to her to lift their spirits up. Finally, they were on stage and ready to begin. Mismagius' body glowed as she lifted Popplio into the air. "Sylveon, Fairy Wind! Popplio Bubblebeam!"

Sylveon swirled up a sparkling pink wing into the air while Popplio let loose a stream of bubbles which mixed together with the pink wind. Serena held out her arm as Mismagius tossed Popplio into them. The two twirled around before Mismagius flew into the bubble infused Fairy Wind and let out a Dazzling Gleam the sparkling fairy light blowing the mixed attack into a rain of sparkles.

Mismagius took Popplio into her psychic grip as everyone started to dance in the falling sparkles. Serena helped Sylveon jump up as she let out a Swift into the air above them. Catching Popplio Mismagius turned her head upwards and use out a Shadow Ball hitting the stars. On contact, the Shadow Ball exploded creating the vague shape of a star as it did so.

With that, the four looked on at the crowd as they took a bow. The audience cheered and clapped at the show before them. In the stands, Ash yelled out over the crowd, "Alright Serena, Mismagius, Popplio, and Sylveon!" He would have sat up from his seat though he had the incubator in his lap.

Speaking of the egg Mawile turned to it with a surprised look. Out the corner of her eye, she had thought she noticed a glow coming from the egg. A glowing egg meant that the Pokemon in it was ready to hatch. Pikachu noticed her looking at the egg, "What is it?"

Mawile turned to him and whispered, "I think I saw the egg glow."

Pikachu looked at the egg not seeing a glow from it. If what Mawile said was true then the egg was going to hatch soon. The electric rodent knew that they should ask to see when the egg would hatch. Professional breeders had made numerous lists about that kind of stuff after all. 'Note to self, be sure to ask them about it after the showcase.'


For the next hour and a half each of the girls took the stage showing off their performances. With the last one finished the girls all lined up on the stage. Serena stood firm as the eight other hopefuls stood next to her. With nine in total, the vote would be heavily split. "Now the time has come," Pierre spoke over the microphone as he held up a Glow Caster. "Raise your Glow Caster into the air and cast your vote for our winner."

The lights dimmed as the glow casters were raised overhead. From each nine different colored lights flew off from them and to the performers. Serena stood as the colors came funneling to each performer in an almost equal measure. Finally, after the last one had been counted a sense of tension filled the air between the hopefuls. "The winner of the Coumarine City Showcase is," Pierre motioned to the honey-haired girl, "Serena!"

Serena blinked for a moment making sure she heard that right. She had won the Coumarine City Showcase. The realization kicked in as Pierre walked up to her. Klefki opened its arms and he handed her the Princess Key. Serena took it in her hands and couldn't help but jump in joy. "I did it! I won my first Princess Key!"

The crowd cheered and clapped at this. Serena looked into the crowd after finding Ash waving at her she waved right back. Pierre turned to the crowd before him, "I thank you all for coming to our amazing showcase, and now I bid you all, Au revoir."


Palermo looked on as Serena received her Princess Key. A smile formed on her face at this. With this win, Serena was closer to becoming Kalos Queen. She looked at a tv screen. On it, the muted television showed the murder of Aria's parents. Palermo wanted to laugh as she saw Aria crying on the TV screen. "See Aria," She took a sip of her black coffee, "That's what you get for crossing me."

Rotom flew next to her laughing at this. Watching the tears from her eyes was enjoyable. "My Arceus, I wonder what did Aegislash do?" He didn't want to picture it but he had an idea what a living sword could do to a human body. "You know I remember when her to kill your parents for you."

The incident in question was when she was younger. Around Aria's age to be precise. Her parents wanted her to stop with her dream, they noticed a manipulative streak in her, and a willingness to do anything to win. She was so close too, and yet they got in the way. Aegislash, then a Honedge, decided that his mistress' parents were now a threat. Palermo didn't even visit their funnel or their graves.

Unknown to them someone was overhearing this from the barely open door. Meowth didn't know what was more disturbing to him. The fact, that Palermo murdered Aria's family for a relatively petty reason or the fact that she had a Pokemon that was willing to do it on a whim. He whispered to himself at this, "Seriously? That's messed up even by our standards."

Palermo turned to Rotom as she held onto the Ultra Ball holding Aegislash. She looked over to Rotom as he floated next to her. "So do you think we might have to end her life as well?" If that didn't tell her to back down then she might as well have to.

Meowth looked as Rotom gave his trainer a nod. He pointed at Aegislash "Though I think you should go and let Aegislash end her life to make sure she doesn't get all you know," Rotom started to mimic a crying Aria voice rather poorly as he faked cried, "I'll get you back Palermo for killing my parents."

Palermo understood what he was getting at. The Ultra Ball seemed to wiggle in her hands. Aegislash was in agreement with Rotom it seemed. "You know I'll think about it," She turned back to the monitors, "If she tries anything I don't approve of then we'll see how much Yveltal truly cares for her."

Meowth couldn't hear any more of this. He could handle a lot of things, but not this that was for sure. He almost raced down the hall wondering just how much longer Luther was going to make them stay with this crazy woman.


The sky was starting to turn red overhead as the group stood in front of the building. Shauna turned to Serena looking at the Princess Key hanging from her keychain. "Well, it looks like we each now have one." She pulled out her keychain showing the Princess Key that she had herself. The tan-skinned girl looked at the group, "So where are you all headed next?"

"Well," Ash thought about it turning to Anabel, "Anabel wants to take a look at the Battle Chateau, and after that, we'll be heading back to Lumiose so that I can challenge Clemont again."

Speaking of Lumiose there was something else on Serena's mind. Lumiose City was close to the Villa that her father had given her. Seeing how she was the place's new owner she might as well take a look at it. "Hey while we're in the area how about we take a look at the Villa I now own?"

Lysandre decided that it was his time to speak up, "That reminds me I should get the place furnished best not to walk into an empty home now." The burly man gave his daughter a hug. "When you get to Lumiose call me I'll take you to see the place."

Serena gave her father a nod. A few minutes later both Shauna hand Lysandre had finished their goodbyes as they left the group. Shauna was going to practice for the next showcase, while Lysandre had to get back to his company. This left just left Rosa who finished packing her bag just outside of the Pokemon Center.

The brunette turned to her cousin as she gave her a hug. "It was nice seeing you again," She gave her a wink, "You better win and be Kalos Queen you hear me."

Serena gave her a determined look. Her mind thought back to her conversation with Aria. The redhead girls warning hung heavily in her mind. Yet this only hardened her revolve. The Kalosian native was already set on winning the title and hopefully exposing Palermo while doing so. "You can count on it."

Rosa was going to hold her cousin to it. She then turned her head over to Ash. "Now you take good care of my cousin alright." She then leaned and whispered to the Kanto Native, "Also make sure that she takes the Pill whenever you both do it." Rosa giggled as Ash blushed at this. The brunette waved goodbye as she left the group for her next gym battle.

Pikachu jumped onto his partner's shoulder. "Hey, Ash do you know when the egg will hatch?"

"Why do you ask that?" The raven-haired boy wondered why his best friend was asking this now.

"Mawile thinks she saw the egg glow." Serena pulled out her new Holo Caster in order to check on the time. Her eyes widen in surprise. According to this, the eggs was at least a day or two away from hatching.


Yep Noibat is coming soon. With him, the Kalos team is finally all here, plus the new additions. It will be awhile before we hear back from Rosa but keep in mind that she is here in this story. Also, I may push the second special back one or two chapters. It all deals with how hard or easy it is to make it. Now then let's get on to something else. The questions from the last reviews.

Ri2- Yes Rosa's Mimikyu is related to Jessie's from the anime, Yes they are going to the Villa, and well I think if you're confused you should reread a few chapters back. The Suicune was with Rosa about two (well three with this) chapters ago.

Now I'll cya all next time. Happy Summer by the way.
