What's up, readers! Welcome to another exciting chapter of this story! Like I said before, this year will have consistent chapters that I'll be making for both this story along with Pallet High and of course here it is! Hope you're ready for this one! Something I forgot to mention in the last chapter, I put a funny characteristic of Serena where every time she laughs very hard, she falls down to the ground. I thought it would be funny to include that and you'll probably be seeing more of that sometime whenever I include it. Please note that I also did that in Chapter 29 as well when she was thinking of Ash's food costumes. Anyways, last time, Ash and friends run into Trevor as they go on an adventure finding Moltres and also learns of Trevor's relationship with Shauna. This time, Serena finds a wild Eevee around the field. How does she befriend it? Read and find out! This is based on the 89th episode of the XY series, "A Frolicking Find in the Flowers!" Enjoy!

Chapter 33: Let's Go Eevee!
April 13, 2014 (12:00 PM) (Days until Ash's Birthday: 11)
Still continuing their way to Anistar City for Ash's 7th gym battle, Ash and friends are walking through a forest with both Ash and Serena holding hands as per usual. Truth be said on Ash's side, whenever he's holding hands with his girlfriend, his heart beats a little faster than usual. He can never stop loving Serena. While walking, the honey blonde got some news to announce as she looked through her phone.
"Ooh, Ashy, looks like we both got stuff to do in Anistar City." Serena said.
"What do you mean?" The raven haired trainer asked in curiousness.
"There's a Pokemon Showcase happening there too!" Serena replied.
"Ooh, wonderful! Looks like we both got to do some recording over there." Ash said.
"Yep..." Serena said but this time she's not feeling as confident as she was before. She gives out a bit of a frown on her face. Bonnie notices this and starts to talk to her. "Something wrong, Serena?"
Serena didn't feel comfortable at first talking of what's concerning her but instead she reluctantly does so anyway seeing as her boyfriend holds her hand still feeling his heart set on her.
"Well...yes." Serena admitted. She gives a bit of a sigh as then she turns over to her boyfriend. "Honestly, I just feel concerned that I need to work more for the upcoming performance. I already have rivals competing against me. Miette, Shauna, Nini, they're all fierce. I know that if I see any of them, I have to work to my hardest."
"You also have a boyfriend who has total confidence in you. They have their own style but you got one too. You're a fierce performer too and I love you for that. Just know I'm rooting for you always, my sweet Serena." Ash said.
Serena giggles and blushes at her boyfriend bringing her up back to her normal self. It's always nice that Ash is there no matter what. He supports Serena here and there for her performances. She couldn't think of a better boyfriend than Ash herself. She also has realization that whenever it's a gym battle or a performance, the couple's confidence in themselves raises up.
As a response for Ash's comments, she closes in to his face and push her lips to her boyfriend's with Ash blushing very heavily. He returns the kiss as per usual with such blissfulness that he's feeling. His heart warms up with the right amount of love he's feeling. It might even burn for every time he falls in love with the honey blonde. He also couldn't think of a better girlfriend than Serena. Every time he kisses Serena, his mind becomes foggy and can only think of his love right in front of him.
After 20 seconds, the couple lets go of their kiss while the yellow-haired siblings feels adored by the heartwarming love they have. "Thanks, Ashy. You deserve that kiss for cheering me up. I love you so much every time you have my back."
"No problem, Serena. I love you too. Just know at your performance, I'll be there with a camera recording you. That also reminds me, I do have also train for my upcoming gym battle too." Ash said.
After a bit of cheering up that Serena needed, the group goes back to their usual walk with Serena resting her head on Ash's shoulders while closing her eyes. The raven-haired trainer blushes again of the sight with his honey blonde girlfriend laying on his shoulder. "Do you want to sleep on my shoulder for the rest of your life, honey?"
"Maybe. I don't want to ever let go of you." Serena responded.
"Well, don't get too comfortable. I'm not always going to be there every time you need to rest." Ash said.
"I don't care. You're all that I needed." Serena said happily.
Ash still has his blushing face while Serena lays her head on his shoulders still. She was staying that way until the group emerges out of the forest finally. Outside of the forest, Ash and friends couldn't believe their eyes at what they're seeing.
Out in the open, it was a beautiful pasture that was filled with the most beautiful flowers that both Ash and Serena couldn't believe they're seeing. Not only that, both of them took a deep breath inhaling the fresh air, and it was true. Love was truly in the air for the both of them.
"Ahhh! The sweet beautiful smells of our love, Ashy." Serena said exhaling the scent that flows through the meadows.
"Yep. It really looks lovely. I know sometime we can date here too." Ash said.
"Maybe even a picnic here. Wouldn't you love that?" Serena asked as then she holds her lover's arm for comfort. Ash once again was blushing heavily of the honey blonde taking care of him. Each of them is there protecting each other no matter what.
Ash then turns his head to his honey blonde girlfriend still with his blushing face activated within him. He knew that Serena is adored by every time he blushes. "I would love that, in fact, why don't we take a break right now? Clemont will make the food, and me and my beautiful honey bun here can make time for each other." Ash said while Serena lets out a high pitched giggle. She couldn't really resist any of Ash's romantic lines. It's quite far for how the almost 14 year old has changed since he started his Kalos journey.
He was dense, yes. But overtime, he somehow gotten over his denseness and fallen in love with Serena. Since then, he has thought about what romantic tips that he should bring. And of course, where's he at right now, mastering the art of serenading his true love.
Closing in, Ash insisted of bringing Serena's lips to his with another kiss while their eyes are closed. Like before, Ash's goal in the relationship was that he didn't want to make it a relationship where he kisses Serena every minute but his heart tells him so.
Bonnie runs ahead from the group with a overprotective Clemont chasing after her. "Bonnie, be careful!" He then stops and looks back at the couple before telling them last thing, "You two have fun!" Running off with a wink, the yellow haired sibling goes after his sister.
Both Ash and Serena giggle at the antics Bonnie has where her brother goes after her.
"Man, Clemont is really protective about his sister." Ash said.
"Well, they are both brother and sister. Clemont's a brother that's older than Bonnie so he was looking out for her as usual." Serena replied.
Oh, I almost forgot!" Ash said as he takes out all of his Pokeballs. "Everyone, out!" Ash's Pokemon are out of their pokeballs seeing the floral meadows in front.
Serena was also reminded thanks to Ash to bring out her Pokemon as well. "Ooh, my Pokemon too!" She throws out both of her Pokemon also seeing the beautiful pasture of different flowers around.
"Alright, everyone! Time to play! Food will be ready soon. Meanwhile, me and Serena are going to have some time to ourselves looking around these meadows, got it?" Ash instructed both of his and Serena's Pokemon.
"Pika Pika!" (Got it, buddy!) Pikachu said.
"Brai Braixen!" (Time to yourselves, huh?) Braixen said teasing with a hint of snickering added. Both Ash and Serena didn't quite get Braixen's teasing but of course, that's some of the Pokemon language they couldn't understand of.
Ash then holds his lover's hand and handles care with it. "My lady?"
Serena blushes furiously as usual with Ash's gesture. She responds by holding his hand and the two walk into their relaxing peace.
Meanwhile, what the four heroes didn't know is that they're not alone. Right above of some sort of cliff, the usual criminal couple, both Jessie and James, are here along with Meowth, of course. Eavesdropping on them with Clemont making some lunch and Bonnie running around the meadows and finally Ash and Serena walking with each other.
"So, they're hanging out with some relaxation in mind." James said.
"Hmmm...sounds like something that we should all do. I don't mind taking a rest." Meowth added.
Jessie hearing this gets her triggered. Despite being the leader of the trio, she usually don't find herself taking some rest with her now boyfriend and also Meowth. Except in the past where she was relaxing in her bikini suits (both black and blue) lying down on a relaxing chair and seeing some peace. To be said, James did happen to keep peering over to his now girlfriend whenever she wears a bikini relaxing. That's one of the reasons why he did happen to have a crush on her. He couldn't resist of how beautiful she looked donning those suits. But, of course, he didn't say anything to her as she also didn't notice of him staring at her suit.
Back to the present, Jessie starts to become enraged per usual turning her head to the boys. "NO REST! I DON'T GIVE A HELL THAT WE SHOULD CALM OUR MINDS DOWN AT SOME PASTURE! NOW I'M GOING TO TRAIN HARD IN ORDER TO BEAT THAT TWERPETTE! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" Jessie's anger was literally in heat for both James and Meowth. Both cowering in fear of Jessie's anger, they responded with an answer that only Jessie can allow: Yes.
15 minutes later...
After a bit of time with the group, they have their own things while they were staying here. Clemont is still making some lunch for the group, also making some tea. Bonnie is running around with Ash's Pikachu while laying down around the fluffy flowers. Ash and Serena are relaxing next to a river spending some couple time with each other. Seeing this as another opportunity for a future date, the couple has another spot on their list to make time with each other.
Ash is witnessing the creation of his girlfriend's masterpiece. Since they sat down, the honey blonde started to make a wreath of flowers to make around her head. She also made one for Ash as well.
"Here, Ashy. Since we have those bracelets, why don't we also wear these wreaths around our heads? After all, you did make us those wooden bracelets when we were at camp. That's how our special friendship begun." Serena said as she puts the flower crown on the raven-haired trainer's head.
Ash was feeling slightly embarrassed by this. Much to his thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a bit of laughter in his conscience that he's wearing a girl's hat outfit. "Thanks, sweetie...but...as much that I love that you made this for me, I can't wear it."
"Why?" Serena asked raising her eyebrows as she gives a pouting look to her boyfriend and stands up with her hands on her hips demanding an answer.
"It looks silly. Pretty much it's something that you would wear." Ash said.
"Ash Ketchum! I am your girlfriend and you will listen to me! You will wear these flower heads just like we wear our bracelets as promised! Do you understand? Because if you don't, I'll break up with you, is that clear?" Serena stated.
Ash was fazed by a moment there of his girlfriend's outburst. Is that really true? She would simply break up with him just like that if he didn't wear the flower hat? It wasn't until a moment later that Serena gives out another response. This time, it's laughter coming out of her mouth. She falls down to the ground as per usual laughing very hard to her joke as then a confused Ash appears.
"I'm sorry, Ashy, I really didn't mean that. I was just messing with you. I could never break up with you like that." Serena said as she calms herself down and sits right back up.
"Wait, really?" Ash asked.
"No! That just be stupid, you dummy! I can give this to Bonnie." Serena said.
"Oh good, thank you! I can't relieve myself for wearing that." Ash said. As he just finish talking, Serena moves closer to his face giving him a more serious face.
"BUT! I will probably make you wear something that I can get from a bouquet. It may not be a female clothing, but we'll see..." Serena said as she gives a mischievous face to Ash. The raven-haired trainer gives out a gulp as response for how serious sometimes the honey blonde can get.
"Where did you learn of being so demanding?" Ash asked.
"Delia. She and I privately talk about you and of course of how demanding she can be if you don't follow her rules." Serena said.
"Of course. Even sometimes that my mom embarrasses me too knowing my secrets." Ash said.
"I know. She told me about them." Serena said.
"WHAT?! You know my secrets?" Ash exclaimed.
"Of course I do! She told me about the time when you were 12 and you still sleep with your Squirtle plush and cuddle it to death." Serena said.
"HONEY!" Ash shouted.
"What? I'm sorry, Ashy. But it's true to what she told me. You're a Squirtle cuddler." Serena snickering a bit of the nickname she gave her boyfriend.
"I hate you now..." Ash said putting his hand into his face.
"Alright then, I won't tell more secrets anymore. Just let me give this to Bonnie and we can continue relaxing here." Serena said as then she gives the flower head to Dedenne. However, Dedenne accidentally knocks the flower crown away from Serena. Both her, Ash, Dedenne, and Pancham makes a run for the speeding flower head.
Rolling down a nearby hill, Pancham speeds up catching to the flower crown. Ash and Serena stop running as they see both Pokemon running towards the flower crown. It was then Pancham was able to catch it with the flower crown having to bounce from a rock nearby.
"Pancham!" (Got it!) Pancham said with the flower crown in hand as then he sees something else nearby. In nearby sight, a Pokemon in brown fur and black eyes is what Pancham has spotted. Dancing on the ledge nearby, the Pokemon sings happily with passion.
Both Ash and Serena walk by catching up with Pancham and Braixen is also here as well being one of Serena's Pokemon as they witness the Pokemon they're seeing.
"What Pokemon is that?" Serena asked.
"Eevee." Ash replied.
"Eevee?" Serena said in question as she takes out her Pokedex and scans the Pokemon. "Eevee, the Evolution Pokemon. A rare Pokemon that adapts to harsh environments by taking on different evolutionary forms."
"It looks so cute! I wonder why that its feet don't look too heavy on the ground." Serena said in curiosity.
It was only a couple minutes that the two lovers and their Pokemon and Bonnie's Dedenne watch Eevee dance so graciously until Clemont calls out for lunch.
"Lunch's ready! Come and get it!" Clemont shouted. As a result, the inventor's shouting causes Eevee to run away with it being startled.
"Wait, no! Come back!" Serena called out but it was too late seeing the Pokemon out of the scene.
"Seriously, Clemont?" Ash thought giving himself a disapproving look on his face. "Come on, let's head back. At least we can have a picnic together."
Serena turns her head back up again with her boyfriend smiling and holding his hand as per usual as they head back to both Clemont and Bonnie.
(12:20 PM)
It was lunch time and the group enjoy eating their food along with some tea as both Ash and Serena explain to what they saw while they were relaxing.
"So Ashy and I had some calm time with each other and we happened to see an Eevee nearby. But it got away when you called us for lunch." Serena said.
"Oh. Well, sorry. Didn't mean to scare off any Pokemon though." Clemont apologized.
"It's okay. That Eevee is so cute! You know, it might be a good Pokemon to use in my team to do performances." Serena said.
"Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we find that Eevee? I mean, it's good at dancing." Ash suggested.
"Yes, Ashy! I want that Eevee! Especially since that mean Gary Oak had one too competing against you." Serena said.
"He's a good rival to be honest." Ash said.
"Well, he did smack talk at you when we were calling him about our relationship and I smack talked to him right back. I can be fierce to anyone who messes with you." Serena said.
"Ummm...you mess with me too." Ash said.
"I do it because I love to and I'm your girlfriend. I'm the man in this relationship, Ashy. You're just an easy tease whenever I feel like it." Serena said.
"Okay, before I become an actual crybaby, let's just find this Eevee. I swear, you're becoming more like that Mirror Serena I met." Ash said.
"Well, I wanted to become a bit more demanding, Ashy. I'm sorry if I somehow become rough on you." Serena said resting her arm around her boyfriend's back.
"It's okay. I love you always." Ash said as he hugs Serena.
"Well, then let's go find that Eevee." Clemont said as he gets up along with the group after finishing their tea and lunch.
As the group leaves, they're being spotted again by Team Rocket once again listening to the conversation that the group had. "So, they're looking for an Eevee? Those things are special. Evolving all into different forms. It's quite unique." James explained.
"Gives me all the right reasons why I should take that Pokemon and add it to my team of wonderful proportions of Pokemon Performance. Nice job, baby!" Jessie said as she gives a high five to him in which he returns.
"Hey! I can dance too! Just watch!" Meowth said. He jumps up and gives a stylish dance wowing anybody. Stars and cheering was that being heard in Meowth's imagination. He was blessed with such love after the performance he shows. However, snapping back to reality, he turns back to both James and Jessie only to find the two making out with each other. Both of their faces was already covered in kisses as their hearts was heating up with each other. Jessie was also letting out some sounds too as well she was unable to resisting James' kissing.
Meowth puts his palms into his face seeing the two rocket lovers kissing their time together. He's even disgusted hearing sounds come out by the two of them as well as he walks away from them.
(12:45 PM)
Ash and friends went off in find for Eevee as they walk around the meadows for a bit. After search was a bit difficult for the team, it was Clemont's time to literally shine his glasses pulling and introducing another invention where it would to be likely a success or a failure. Giving a snicker, Clemont explains his invention.
"Here it is, the Living Thing Finder Mark 2! I thought we encounter another situation like this one!" Clemont said.
"Brother, you always come up with the good names and the right timing to pull out another machine of yours." Bonnie said in a sarcastic manner.
Ignoring the remark his sister made, Clemont adjusts the search to right size of the Pokemon that they're looking for. "I don't care what Bonnie thinks. Science is so amazing!" Ash added.
"Thank you, Ash. Even you're not smart, you're always liking my inventions, at least!" Clemont said.
Ash gives out a laugh as then the machine starts and runs in search for Eevee. The group walks around continuously in search of the wild Eevee. However, the machine incorrectly finds a Vivillion and a Budew.
"Brother, your machine's a dud and of course, I'm gonna know what happens next..." Bonnie said.
"What do you mean?" Clemont asked as then his machine starts to smoke and a few seconds later...BOOM!
"That." Bonnie replies. The whole group is covered in soot once again messing up their hair as well. "I knew this would happen..." Serena said with disappointment.
"Let's just go on different paths." Ash suggested.
"Good idea." Clemont said.
(5:00 PM)
The heroes split in different paths of two with both Ash and Serena in one while the siblings take another path of their own. It was starting to sunset but the group still haven't found Eevee just yet.
Serena's foot start to hurt after walking for a long time. But Ash gives her last chance in order to find it today. "Come on, sweetie, I know your foot and the day's about to end, but just please give this last shot for today?"
The honey blonde had to think about it for a minute until she comes to her decision. "Fine. One more time and that's it! After that, you're getting me foot relievers. I can't deal with the tiring pain!"
"What? I don't have that kind of medicine! How should I know that your foot can go to sleep?" Ash asked.
"Fine! Just massage my feet! Now be quiet and let's find this Eevee before I couldn't walk anymore!" Serena whined.
"You know that I can carry you..." Ash said in a quiet tone before his girlfriend gives him the most serious look she had in this journey.
"One more word, Ashton Ketchum...My feet are not in the mood for any of your romantic tactics!" Serena bickered.
"Alright, fine. I'll be quiet..." Ash said.
"Good. I'm keeping my eye on you." Serena said giving a glaring look at her boyfriend while Ash gulps. What's been making Serena so cranky? Only her foot was hurting and yet she was so much about her walking. Even declining one of Ash's romantic moves as well. They keep walking, however, Ash is not holding on to Serena's hand as then she has her hands on her hips still feeling a bit cranky. To be honest, Ash was feeling quite scared of this side of Serena. He does love her a lot and every single day since they became a couple but this was probably his new nightmare that he's going to feel scared for.
Serena starts to keep walking without a single care in the world trying to find this Eevee. However, Ash stops as he sees what's ahead of him and his girlfriend is going straight for it.
"Uhh...honey?" Ash called.
"What is it?" Serena said with a bit of raise in her voice.
"You might want to watch out..." Ash pointed out.
"Oh yeah? And why should I have to listen to a boyfriend who keeps running his mouth?" Serena said with more bicker.
After that smack attitude Serena has, she hears a sound nearby. Stopping herself, she opens her eyes and turns around to find that same Eevee found at a nearby tree.
"Oh, Eevee!" Serena called out. She waves her hand seeing the Eeveelution Pokemon as then it says something to her. "Eevee! Ee-vee!" (Trainer! Look below!)
"Huh?" Serena said in confusion as then she looks down to her toes and apparently she's at a cliff and of course, she's at a corner of it. "Oh! Crap! I almost fell..." Serena realizes the tone of her voice lately bickering at Ash as then she starts to calm down from the sassiness she had. "Thank you!"
"Eevee!" (You're welcome!) Eevee said as then it hops away from the tree and out of Serena's sight. This time she doesn't go after it for another idea she got in mind. "Why aren't you going after it, honey?" Ash asked as he walks to the side of his girlfriend.
Serena looks her eyes to her boyfriend and holds his hand while she talks back in her sweet manner. "Actually, I have an idea." Ash smiles at the honey blonde knowing she's back to her sweet self that he was falling in love with.
She takes off the flower crown that she was wearing while she was spending time with Ash and lays it down on a nearby rock for Eevee to pick up. "There. I'm sure Eevee will grab it."
Meanwhile, the siblings devise a plan in order to find Eevee. "Okay, Bonnie, watch this. Eevee will come over here as soon as it smells Serena's Pokepuffs. I also put down some heart shaped Pokepuffs too that Serena made only for Pokemon, not for Ash. I know that Ash loves them very much, so she decided to make them only for Ash but also in the flavors that Pokemon like, so it should come here." Clemont explained.
Not much time has passed, but after when the siblings keep walking around for Eevee, it arrives and it was in front of a heart shaped Pokepuff. Bending down, the Eevee sniffs at the Pokepuff and grabs it while Bunnelby speculates. However, as for the siblings along with Luxray and Dedenne, they happen to walk back to the same spot that they were before with Clemont explaining and notices something different...
"Huh, where's the Pokepuff?" Clemont asked.
"Wait, I know what happened! Chespin ate it, couldn't resist of the sweet tastes of it!" Bonnie shouted as she points to the grass type as he gives an accusing face.
"Ches! Chespin Chespin!" (No! It wasn't me, I swear!) Chespin exclaimed as he knew that for once, he wasn't stealing any Pokepuffs this time, while she doesn't understand a lot for Pokemon language, she still doesn't believe Chespin for a second.
"Yeah, keep talking, buster!" Bonnie said. Chespin gives a sad look in his face while knowing for the fact that he didn't steal any Pokepuffs at all.
(9:30 PM)
The group reunites and meet up again mentioning all the stuff that happened while they have separated. It was time for them to go to sleep and wait for the next day to happen. The group goes into their tents but before Ash goes to sleep in his, he walks over to his girlfriend's tent only to find her still awake for a bit.
"Hey." The raven haired trainer greeted. Serena greeted back vice versa saying the same to Ash. He then sits down next to the honey blonde in which she speaks up talking.
"Look, I'm sorry that I was being snappy at you today, Ashy. Honestly, I didn't mean it. Really." Serena apologized.
"Serena, I know that you not that mean to me, but why exactly though?" Ash asked.
"It's just...that...I remember when I was younger...my mom sometimes used to act like I'm talking back to her. Sometimes thinking about it now, it makes me a bit more demanding but I know I'm not my mother. I'm no Rhyhorn racer, I'm a performer." Serena explained to her past self.
"Serena, you're not Grace. You are who you are. You only have a bit of your mom's traits for being arrogant about your feet and being so sassy. That's not the Serena that I love so much. I love you for being so caring and stylish about Pokemon. Even me too! You never stopped loving me and I never did too. Every day, I wake up seeing the beautiful honey blonde girl ready for her day of practice and fun." Ash said.
Serena's eye start to get a bit teary of her boyfriend's words seeing all the true things he says about her. "Keep talking."
Ash laughs and starts to explain more. "Well, your heart shaped Pokepuffs are the most sweetest things I ate. You're the best performer ever that I seen. Finally, your lips taste like the sweetest fruits that I have never tasted before."
Hearing those three things make Serena blush very hardly knowing that all of that is true of what her boyfriend has said. He couldn't resist of the sweet, delightful tastes of her Pokepuffs, he always supported her career as a Performer and every time they kiss, Ash's lips feel more bliss that he has ever felt in his life. As a response, she gives another blissful kiss to Ash as he closes his eyes and let his lips take in another wonderful taste of the honey blonde's lips. After 1 minute has passed, they let go having to breathe for oxygen and to continue their conversation.
"I knew you're the boy that I have fallen for all these years. You're so perfect, Ashy." Serena said.
Ash blushes a bit with a bit of a nervous laugh as he scratches the back of his head. "Well, you know...I do have a bright heart for you, honey."
Serena keeps smiling until she begins out a big yawn with the notice that she must go to sleep. "Well, time for bed. I'll see you in the morning, my handsome trainer."
Before Ash leaves, the only response she gives to Serena before heading back to his tent was that he gives a kiss on Serena's forehead. "Good night, just think that I'll love you as always."
Serena lays down with the thought of her boyfriend as she tries to go to sleep. Ash on the other hand, arriving at his tent, he lays down dreaming of the thoughts of his girlfriend, knowing to himself that he'll never stop loving her. "You're the best girlfriend, Serena. Just keep being yourself."
(2:30 AM)
For the past few hours, Serena has trouble trying to sleep. She did stop her focus on Ash and started to try to get some rest but hasn't been able to get any sleep. She gets a bit frustrated and starts to throw her pillow to the front of the tent. She quiets herself down knowing that everyone else is asleep but she also goes into her mind for some thought. "Ughhh...no sleep. What should I do? Maybe a walk should help...even without my Ashy..."
She gets up from her tent and unzips it as she gets out while still wearing her pink pajamas. Both Pancham and Braixen follow her despite her Pokemon feeling any concern for her. "Sshhh. We don't want to wake anybody up." Serena said quietly. She then looks in front of her eyes realizing that she was in front of Ash's tent. She quietly unzipping the tent slowly as she takes a peek inside of Ash's tent. Inside, Ash sleeps and snores quietly while snuggling with Pikachu. Serena felt adored watching him sleep. She does love it whenever they sleep with each other on the same bed at a Pokemon Center but instead they're sleeping in different tents.
"He's so cute sleeping..." Serena thought. She puts her hand up to her mouth and starts to giggle softly. After that, she zips the tent back up and begins her late night walk near the lake. She's been walking for some time also with her foot not hurting anytime, she finds the same Eevee she was going after at the same place where she almost fell off.
"Eevee's here...I knew it!" Serena thought as she also sees Eevee wearing the flower crown that she left for it to pick up. In speculation, the honey blonde watches Eevee dance around with sparkle and style making her feel such delight seeing that kind of performance.
"That Eevee would be perfect for performances. I would love to be friends with it so that we can all become Kalos Queen. What do you two think?" Serena asked as she turns to her Pokemon.
"Pancham. Pancham Pancham." Pancham said. (Hmmm...That Eevee would be a good addition to our team.)
"Braixen Braixen Braixen." Braixen said. (Wouldn't mind having a bestie with me. Other than Serena, just a Pokemon BFF.)
While she doesn't know a lot of Pokemon language, Serena knows that seeing her Pokemon smile gives it the fact that they have approval on Eevee joining their team. She give out another yawn seeing as she's now feeling tired. "Maybe I'll finally get some sleep..."
Serena walks back to her tent snuggling more comfortable and has no more troubles falling asleep. She felt calm that night after get so picky with Ash. Hopefully no strange attitude comes within the morning.
April 14, 2014 (9:30 AM) Days until Ash's Birthday: 10
Ash wakes up with a loud yawn as he stretches his arms up to a new day he awakes upon. That isn't the only thing wakes up first to though as he opens his eyes up and what was in front of him shocks himself. In front, Serena smiles as she was inside of his tent right in front of him giving him the weirdest smile she has. "Good morning."
Ash skeptically says it back but also feels a bit nervous seeing that she was there seeing him wake up. "How long have you been there?"
"Oh, for only a couple hours. You're so cute whenever you sleep, my Ashy." Serena says as she plays with his chin.
"But why did you have to come into my tent?" Ash asked.
"Well, to make up for being so snappy yesterday, Clemont made some breakfast and I brought 2 plates for us to eat in here. So spend some time with your sweet girlfriend, Ashy." Serena said picking up both plates that has scrambled eggs and sausage.
"I don't mind being with my wonderful dear girlfriend. But do you mind if I can also have some Pokepuffs too?" Ash asked picking up a fork.
Serena laughs at Ash's question. "Breakfast now, then you can have my treats later, okay Ashy?"
Ash smiles while he has a mouthful of scrambled eggs. The young couple continue to eat as they talk to each other with Ash telling Serena another one of his adventures he had at Hoenn. Lately, Ash has been calling the stories he has been telling to his girlfriend, "The Adventuring Travels of Ash Ketchum and his Companion Friends."
35 minutes later...
Breakfast was over for the heroes as they are going to continue to catch the Eevee for Serena. Walking out of Ash's tent, the young Kalos couple are grouping up with Clemont and Bonnie. Ash, on one hand, has some kiss marks around his face and even one on the back of his neck. Serena, on the other, has a satisifying look on her face.
Clemont gets a bit of a surprised look reacting to Ash's face. "Woah, Ash, What happened to you?"
"Serena's the best girlfriend. She asked me what's my lucky number and I said 7 so she gave me seven kisses around my face. I could have lied and said 99." Ash said.
"I'm not giving you that many kisses, Ashy. My lips need to be fresh whenever we kiss. Otherwise, you couldn't be able to taste my fruity lipsticks that I apply on often." Serena said with a giggle.
"Well, looks like I'm not washing this face anytime soon. Those kisses were too delicious for me to taste!" Ash said. Serena laughs hard of what Ash just said. Is she really that good of a kisser?
"Alright, Ashy. I'll give you some good night kisses before we go to sleep, okay? But right now, we need to find Eevee." Serena said as she rubs Ash's cheek.
"Okay, so what's the plan?" Clemont asked.
"I saw Eevee last night and she used the flower crown that I left for her and started dancing. So, my idea is that we need to give Eevee an performance that'll dazzle her face. There's no way she couldn't resist a fiery performance like I could do." Serena explained at the plan.
Both Braixen and Pancham step forward to each side of the honey blonde. She and her Pokemon are ready to perform in order to attract Eevee.
"Alright, Pancham and Braixen, a mixture of Flamethrower and Dark Pulse!" Serena shouted.
Both Pancham and Braixen release their attacks making it of course like Serena said being a fiery combination that'll amaze people. Braixen brings out a wave of fire while Pancham brings out a dark purple wave bringing their attacks together. Meanwhile, while in the bushes, Eevee hears something and looks out from behind. Seeing with her eyes, Eevee is happy having to see Serena's performance strike through.
As a result, Eevee walks out of the bushes and goes straight to Ash and friends.
"Hey, it's Eevee! Your plan worked, sweetie!" Ash said pointing out.
Serena walks to the Eevee and she bends down to talk to the Evolution Pokemon. "Hey, Eevee. My name is Serena. You may or may not know this, but I'm a performer myself. I also have a boyfriend in which he raises my confidence whenever. My dream is to become Kalos Queen. Together, we can become the greatest performers that this region has ever seen! So, what do you say? Can you be the third Pokemon member?" Serena asked hoping for an answer for Eevee.
Just as the Pokemon was about to answer, something comes into the scene and interrupts. A net pulls out catching Eevee inside and along with that a few snickers are heard.
"What the?" Ash questioned. The group looks over to where Eevee is being captured by and by the looks of it, it's no surprise. Team Rocket shows up with devious smile on their faces with their prize.
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"It's Jessie! The Beautiful Red-Hot Girlfriend!"
"And James! The Not-So-Smart Boyfriend!"
"Team Rocket, blast off with not only the bursting love of our hearts but also the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!"
Ash sighs hearing another Team Rocket motto. Although this was kind of a different one now that James and Jessie are a couple, he's still bothered by every time he sees them. "I'm done having to deal with you guys. You just can't stop..."
"Well, whenever there's Pokemon, it's what we can steal!" Jessie said.
"You pretty much steal their precious lives! You can't understand that you can take them away in one swoop every single time!" Ash shouted.
"Hush, little boy. Run back to your twerpish mother!" James taunted.
Ash is now feeling furious haring that remark James made. He curls his hand into a fist. But also Serena stands up and shouts for her boyfriend. "Hey! You don't talk about my Ashy that way!" She looks over to Ash and continues by talking to him.
"So, couple vs. couple?" Serena gestured by holding out her hand to Ash. He smiles in a bright way as he takes Serena's hand and firmly holds it. While the couple hold their hands together before they start battling, their bracelets start to glow. Looking down, both Ash and Serena see the brightness intensity of the glowing bracelets.
"Wait...why are they..." Ash questioned.
"It's glowing bright...it starts to when we hold our hands together..." Serena said.
"Hmmm...I guess it's now realizing of it being a love bracelet." Ash said.
"We'll figure it out later. Right now, It's Ash and Serena time!" Serena shouted as the couple start their battle together.
"You got yourselves into a couple battling. How adorable. Pumpkaboo, out!" Jessie said as she tosses out her Pokeball. James does the same as well taking out his Inkay ready for battle.
"Inkay, use Psybeam!" James commanded.
Inkay releases a wave of psychic energy out towards Pikachu as Ash makes his first move. "Pikachu, Electro Ball!"
Pikachu charges up a big electric ball in which he sends it out towards the Psybeam countering it and hitting Inkay.
"Grrr...sent out a ball huh? Well, here's a ball! Gourgeist, Shadow Ball!" Jessie shouted. Gourgeist builds up a ball filled with dark energy inside shooting and sending it to Braixen in which Serena counters back.
"Not on my watch! Braixen, use Flamethrower!" Serena yelled. Braixen breathes out a large fire in which neutralizes the Shadow Ball that Gourgeist created.
"Tackle, Inkay!" James shouted pointing to Pikachu. Inkay dashes forward to Ash's Pikachu with another counter in mind for the raven haired trainer himself. "Pikachu, Iron Tail!"
Pikachu bolts forward about to slap its tail to Inkay, however, change of plans were made as instead Inkay grabs Pikachu, spins him around and throws him back on the ground.
"Hey!" Ash shouted.
"Heh heh, Foul Play." James said as he gives a smirk.
Doing something about the trapped Eevee, Serena takes action by releasing her. "Pancham, use Stone Edge!"
Pancham creates a bunch of stone pillars in which one of them breaks through and destroys the net freeing Eevee, however, it flies off of the net as Serena gives off a gasp and dashes forward reaching her arms to Eevee. She also lets go of Ash's hand in which the bracelets suddenly stops glowing.
Ash looks down realizing it stops glowing all of a sudden and starts to get confused a bit before putting his focus back into battle.
"Gourgeist, Seed Bomb!" Jessie shouted. Gourgeist shoots out a bunch of seeds in which it heads towards to Eevee where she's still falling. Serena runs forward catching Eevee as she lands into her arms safely. The Seed Bomb misses, however.
"Eevee. Eevee." Eevee said with a smile. (Thanks, Serena.)
Serena smiles back at Eevee as she looks down also noticing her bracelet stopped glowing. "Why did it stop glowing?" Putting her mind back to normal, Serena now looks back seeing that Eevee jumps off of her arms as she starts to run from Team Rocket as they head for Eevee.
"Oh no!" Serena gasped.
Team Rocket still heads to Eevee as they're about to catch it in their repossession but Serena was able to run faster than them and stands in front of Eevee stopping them in their paths. She also holds her hand in front of the criminals. "Far Enough, Team Rocket! You're not getting this Eevee again!"
"Out of our way, twerpette! You're not part of this operation!" Jessie said growling.
"Or?" Serena said with a more serious tone in her voice.
"Or this. Gourgeist, Seed Bomb!" Jessie shouted. Gourgeist once again spits out a bunch of seeds about to head towards Serena and her Pokemon. The honey blonde closes her eyes about to embrace the worst thing being hit by an attack when Eevee jumps out from behind of Serena and starts to attack.
Serena opens her eyes again seeing the Evolution Pokemon ready for attack. "Eevee?"
"Eevee, Eevee Eevee!" Eevee said. (Serena, I got your back!)
Eevee starts attacking using Swift, a move never missing an opponent. Stars shoot out as they were sent to the evil-doers as then Ash makes his usual final attack.
"Okay, Pikachu, you know what to do." Ash said. Pikachu gives an angry look at Team Rocket and gives off his usual attack.
"PIKACHU!" Pikachu screamed as he gives off the electric bolt right at Team Rocket causing an explosion and blasts them off again. (THUNDERBOLT!)
"CRAP! That Eevee would have been perfect for my performances!" Jessie said angrily.
"Well, it could have been worse...I noticed their bracelets were glowing." James said.
"Yeah, wat's up with dat?" Meowth asked in confusion.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"
And off they go...
Serena jumps in happiness seeing that Eevee had saved her from getting wrecked by Team Rocket. "Wow, I can't believe it. Thanks, Eevee."
"Eevee Eevee." Eevee said. (You're Welcome.)
Serena gets herself back to the question she popped out before Team Rocket intervened with the heroes. "So, as I was saying, Eevee...do you want to become my partner and team up to become Kalos Queen?"
Eevee gives off a happy nod as it also answers with the agreement to go along with Serena. "Eevee!" (Yes!)
"Alright then! Into the Pokeball, you go!" Serena said as she takes out an empty Pokeball and throws it at Eevee. Hitting straight at her, Eevee was pulled into the Pokeball as it falls to the ground and starts to shake for a bit.
Serena has one hand grasping at her heart whereas the other is in her mouth hoping to be a successful catch. A moment later, the Pokeball stops rumbling as it indicates a catch. Serena gives off an excited gasp as she picks up the Pokeball.
"Yes! I caught an Eevee!" Serena shouted in excitement with her Pokemon jumping up.
"Pancham!" Pancham said. (Yippee!)
"Braixen!" Briaxen said. (Hooray!)
Smiling at the Pokeball, Serena lets out her newest addition to the team. "Eevee Eevee!" (Hello Serena!)
"You know, it's a good time for everyone to meet Eevee." Ash suggested.
"You're right, Ash. Come on out, everybody!" Clemont said as he takes out his Pokeballs along with Ash doing the same. All of the Pokemon notice Eevee as Ash starts to explain.
"Everyone, this is Eevee. Serena's new Pokemon that she just caught. I hope everyone can be friends with her."
All of the Pokemon gives a happy greeting to Eevee as to her response, Eevee starts to get a bit shy and walks behind Serena's legs. However, Bunnelby jumps forward as he greets Eevee.
"Bunnel." Bunnelby said. (Hello.)
Eevee looks up and starts to get a more social response to Bunnelby while giving off a smile. "Eevee Eevee." (Hello, you seem to be a nice Pokemon.)
Bunnelby gives off a small laugh as a thanks for the compliment. "Bunnelby Bunnel." (Thanks. You're a good Pokemon, too)
"Heh, it looks like they're starting to be friends already. Good job, Serena." Ash said as he walks to his girlfriend as he rests his arm around her back and gives her a kiss on the cheek.
Serena's response was that she gets another heavily blush on her face as she gives thanks to Ash. Applying her pineapple lipstick, she gives in and touch Ash's lips with another blissful kiss that lasted for almost a minute. "You deserve every kiss I give you, Ashy. You deserve to feel every flavor of my lipsticks."
Ash smiles as he looks down to their bracelets again noticing a small faint glow appearing. He was deciding to talk to Serena before bedtime about the bracelets.
(9:30 PM)
Getting close to bedtime, Ash is in his tent wearing his pajamas about to head to Serena's tent as he hears the zipper opening a bit. Ash turns to his attention to the front of the tent seeing his honey blonde girlfriend entering the tent while she's wearing her pink pajamas decorated with hearts around.
"Honey?" Ash asked.
"Hey, Ashy. So I wanted to talk to you about something..." Serena said.
"The bracelets?" Ash asked giving it off as a wild guess.
"Yeah...I'm guessing you noticed too..." Serena responded.
"What was up with that? I mean, once we were holding hands together about to face Team Rocket, they just magically glowed." Ash said.
"Well, you just said it was a love bracelet? You gave them to me for both of us to wear after our one month anniversary. When we put them on, we swore never to take them off as long we're a couple." Serena said.
"I don't know what's up with that, though. I do remember something that the clerk told me about when I purchased those bracelets." Ash said with a realization.
"What's that?" Serena asked.
"He said that those bracelets contained a special quality. He never did mention it was some sort of love bracelet. Maybe he just wanted to surprise me thinking it was a love bracelet." Ash said.
"And I'm guessing whenever we hold hands together with our strength, it recognizes the strong love we have for each other. That's interesting..." Serena said intrigued.
"Well, whatever the bracelet holds, it's true with the right amount of love we have pouring in our hearts. It's 100% and can't be broken up." Ash said.
"We'll always be together, Ashy. I love you so much." Serena said.
"I love you too, my sweet Serena." Ash said as then the couple gets themselves into a hug holding onto each other tight. They didn't want to let go of themselves for a while but after 2 minutes of hugging, they let go of themselves. Ash starts to yawn signaling his tiredness.
"Well, I got to get some sleep. See you tomorrow morning, honey." Ash said.
"Wait! Umm...do you mind if I sleep in your tent for tonight? I already brought my sleeping bag with me and I did happen to see you sleeping last night. I couldn't help, you look so cute." Serena asked.
Ash gives off a strand of blush on his face seeing a bit of surprise for himself that his girlfriend saw him sleeping. Not that big of a surprise though since they do sleep together on the same bed at different Pokemon Centers. "Uh...yeah, sure. Why not?"
"Great! Just let me get it in here." Serena grunted as she tries to pull in her sleeping bag as it fitted barely though Ash's tent.
It only took a minutes for Serena to get settled in to Ash's tent but she's laying down next to Ash while they're holding their hands before going to sleep.
"Good night, Serena."
"Good night, my cute Ashy."
The two give each other a quick kiss before resting until the next morning arrives. Underneath their sheets, their hands hold as their bracelets start to glow again brightly. Fortunately, both Ash and Serena didn't wake up seeing the brightness of their bracelets.
What more can our heroes adventure towards?
End of Chapter! Whew...another long chapter created. I hope I can do this for more chapters in the future. Not being sarcastic, but it is fun writing long chapters though. It just takes time. I hope I can make chapters as long as this one in Pallet High as well. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed! Some more usual Amour moments that I put in along with some Rocketshipping added in as well.
Unfortunately, Pallet High is probably not coming out in the next couple of days as I still haven't completed Chapter 10. You'll get it, don't worry. I did mention more consistent chapters this year so stay tuned for the next chapter.
So, what do you guys think? Did you enjoyed the chapter? Do you like Serena's new addition being an Eevee? Eevee's my favorite normal type considering it evolves into one random type. However, it's only the Alola games where I owned an Eevee. I never played Let's Go Eevee, only that I played the Pikachu version.
Yes, as you read, I put a moment where Serena was acting all sassy towards Ash about her feet hurting. Thought it would be a bit funny for her acting like that to her boyfriend. Sometimes I've seen in the anime where Serena acts a bit arrogant to her mother, especially about her nose as I remembered.
Also, the bracelets. I decided to add it in to make it more romantic to the fact that Ash actually purchased some special bracelets that has qualities of love. I mean, the bracelets do represents their true love for each other so here's another characteristic showing that.
Another thing as well, I did happen to change Team Rocket's motto a bit since now both James and Jessie are a couple. What do you think of it? Thought I give some nicknames for both Jessie and James.
Next Chapter, the group heads up and meet both Shauna and Tierno again. Tierno also gives out some exciting news to the group as well. What could it be?
Finally, I updated my profile to show some future stories that I have in mind once I get either of these projects done. Please take a look for yourselves and see what you like what story should I do in the future.
And there you have it! Make sure to follow, favorite, and review! I'll see you guys next time...Peace!
