Before I start, just want to say some stuff:

Amourshipping is canon, Ash x Serena is confirmed, and just the level of adult themes they tried sneaking into these seasons of the anime have knocked the show to whole new levels of amazing.

The Kalos anime could have been even more legendary if it only fully pursued such a route, but alas, it could never be.

Nonetheless, I was really inspired by the show and a Youtuber who introduced me to the whole official Amourshipping deal.

Seeing the community so thrilled by Amour, I thought I'd write a fanfic, of what everyone was hoping for when they saw Serena's crush on Ash.

So here it is: Their non-canon, adult-themed adventures through Alola together.

In this, I'll be doing my best to keep it aligned with the Sun and Moon anime, just with my own twists to make it a bit more original - along with Serena of course ;)

We start on the day before the flights out of Kalos that Serena and Ash take. This is the point where it becomes non-canonical; Everything before is exactly the same.

Also want to note that while Ash, Serena, and Clemont are canonically ten years old in the show, they look way too tall and each have way too much emotion for a 10-year-old. I mean Ash is literally halfway to ripped, I don't know what to tell you. Because of this, I have dubbed them all 16 years of age, except Bonnie, who remains the same.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or anything in relation to it other than this.

Pokemon! Amazing creatures that glide in the clouds, swim in the oceans, and inhabit the land. In this world, People and Pokemon live in harmony. Some befriend Pokemon for battle and performance, while others simply live with Pokemon.

And now, we come to this young man, Ash Ketchum, who hails from Pallet Town. He is about to begin a brand-new journey.

You see, for the past few years, Ash had been traveling through the various regions with friends and his closest friend Pikachu, on the path to becoming a Pokemon Master. Now, his journey through the infamous Kalos region was coming to a close, and his current group of adventuring buddies were getting ready to pursue their separate paths. There's Clemont, a Gym Leader and inventor, as well as his little sister Bonnie. And Serena, a Pokemon Performer, whom had known Ash even before his travels with Pikachu.

Ash wakes up groggily in Clemont's Lumiose City apartment, greeting Pikachu with a tired 'hey buddy'. He rolls over, as if only to get more comfortable and fall asleep once again, when he smells something amazing rolling in from the kitchen.

"So, big brother, when Ash and Serena leave, what are we gonna do?", exclaimed a worried Bonnie.

Clemont was cooking breakfast for everyone in the kitchen, which he'd gotten quite good at doing in his own house.

"Oh, don't worry. I'll have plenty of important work for you at the gym," Clemont answered. "I've invented a new way for challengers to go through my Gym, and I think you are gonna love your role."

"Really?! What is it? Please tell me, big bro?"

"Well, I was thinking like a sort of game show, with you as the host. Challengers would have to guess the Pokemon-"

He was interrupted by the slamming of a door. Clemont and Bonnie turned and saw a gleaming and joyful Ash and Pikachu, drooling at the sight of delicious breakfast spread.

"What is that amazing smell?! Oh man, that looks good." Ash excitedly yelled as he ran up to the stove to see Clemont carefully crafting a sugary golden mass to perfection. Pikachu scurried to greet the other Pokemon.

"It's called french toast," Clemont explained. "It's my first time making it, but it's a very old Lumiose breakfast that's supposed to taste real great!"

"Wow, food is so amazing!" Ash gleamed.

"What's all the ruckus in here?" Serena asked exhaustively as she sat down at the table, still rubbing her eyes. "Oh, that does smell good. Can't wait, I'm starving!"

"Yeah, me too," Ash agreed.

Serena blushed a bit after seeing Ash in his sleepwear, like usual. Of course, she knew her harbored feelings for him - which have been quite obvious for quite literally the entire time they've known one another - wouldn't be something he'd understand, especially if he hasn't already.

"Here you are, everyone," Clemont said as he placed the plates down. "And for the Pokemon, I used the leftovers of the original mixture to make some especially shaped pancakes, each to look like themselves!"

"This looks great, doesn't it buddy?" Ash exclaimed, and Pikachu nodded in agreement with a piece of a Pancake Pikachu ear hanging from his mouth. Clemont returned from the kitchen with a bottle of syrup, and sat down.

"Time to dig in!" everyone shouted in unison.

"So, Serena, what's next for you?", Clemont asked between forkfuls.

"Huh? For me?" Serena was caught off guard. She hadn't really thought about it too much yet.

"You could come along with me, if you want." Ash said with a chuckle.

Serena's face turned red at the thought. Just him…..and me?

"Well, I still have to talk to Palermo about her contest training." Serena replied quickly, before she could think of it any more. "I still have my dream to accomplish after all."

"Don't worry, I know you'll do great," Ash reassured her. "Whatever you end up deciding!"

"Yeah! Thanks!" Serena nodded, but was smiling through her worries regardless.

"I don't believe it. Why on earth would you reject my training? You did dream to be Kalos Queen, correct?" Palermo asked.

Serena was at the nearby Pokemon Center, returning a call for training with none other than Palermo herself.

"Yes ma'am, but that was a year ago. And thanks to my journey, I know now that beauty comes from a lot of different places. And I want to bring out that beauty everywhere I can." Serena replied.

"I don't believe I understand."

A sweat broke down Serena's neck.

"Ahaha, um well, you see…"

Serena put a serious face on, and firmly explained to Palermo what she had decided.

"Someone once told me that I could give people smiles wherever I went. Now, I want to keep doing that, but I can't here in Kalos. I've discovered everything I can here. I want to bring smiles to new places, to new regions."

"I see." Palermo nodded slowly.

Silence fell on both ends of the call.

"Then, may I suggest the Hoenn Region? The Pokemon Contests there are a close relative of performances," Palermo added.

"Hoenn…" In spite of her own determination to continue her true passion, Serena found the very name rang empty. She nearly gasped after realizing her failure to conjure a response to Palermo. "Uh, thank you very much!" Serena bowed hastily.

"We'll be in touch." Palermo chuckled as she ended the call.

The Hoenn Region, I've heard all about it before. Serena thought to herself, walking back over to Clemont's from the Center. Mom wanted to move there originally, but she'd always said that Hoenn was without real culture, full of pretentious Contestants and the spoiled families of businessmen. She always said Sinnoh was the 'better version', whatever that means. Despite the suggestion coming from possibly an even bigger mentor figure, Serena somehow felt her mother may potentially be right in this case. But more importantly:

If Ash hasn't explored Sinnoh, or even somewhere like Hoenn, maybe he'll come with me! He'd love taking down the league there! A whole new region for us both to explore...She giggled to herself.

"Hey Serena!" Ash called from the entrance. Serena snapped to meet his eyes.

"Come on, Clemont's almost finished with dinner!"

She picked up her pace, clearly with some pep in her step now. "Coming!"

"Let's eat!" everyone said in unison once again.

"Ash, what did Alexa want? It seemed important."

Serena quickly averted her attention to Clemont and Ash's conversation, and soon found her hope twisted and beaten back.

"Oh yeah, it was about Professor Oak," He explained. "He wants me to come home ASAP and deliver an egg to another region for him."

Ugh, fuck! Of course he does!

"Why does it have to be you?" Serena asked. Everyone turned at her small outburst, and she turned bashful and explained. "It's just...we're still really far from Kanto, can't he get someone else?"

"He takes care of all my Pokemon I've caught that I can't carry with me in my pocket," He replied with a chuckle. "In return, he sometimes asks me to do stuff for him. Pretty basic arrangement, but I've got to hold up my end. I don't mind though, because I get to go to a brand new region!" He exclaimed, placing his fist over his heart. Pikachu cried out in excitement as well, excessively pumped for the adventure to come.

"Oo, what's it called Ash, what's it called?!" asked a cheerful Bonnie.

"The Aloha region?"

"Ash, I think you mean 'Alola'," Clemont corrected.

Everyone at the table was laughing, struggling to contain themselves over another classic Ash remark.

Everyone except Serena, that is.

Later that evening, Serena lay in bed next to Bonnie, tears falling across her pillow.

Who am I kidding? Ash is already going somewhere else, and he has to for Professor Oak. I can't get in his way. I mean, I knew he was eventually going to move on, but now that I've actually heard it...

Serena got up, careful not to disturb Bonnie, and snuck downstairs. I just need to clear my head, get my mind off of this.

Mindful of her patterned sweatpants and a clear presence of cleavage in her sports bra, she grabbed her large ski coat on her way out the door. She walked along the streets, attempting to distract herself of the young couples littered among the streets, and thought the lack of traffic was really quite abnormal - until she saw the time through a store window.

2:42 AM.

It really is quite late, but I can't sleep knowing... I'll wake up tomorrow... And Ash will be gone.

She arrived at Prism Tower, and stared at the glistening lights for a while.

Much to her own dismay, Serena still found herself thinking of tomorrow - of Ash. She wondered how maybe, just maybe, things might have been different between them. She knew how much she'd grown over the course of her journey, her confidence and skill miles ahead of what she had believed to ever be possible. Her mind began to open a rabbit hole of thoughts Serena had locked away in favor of a friendship with Ash. Could she have told him earlier? Had a real relationship with Ash? What would that even look like?

….how far would we go?

Her thought was cut short.

"Serena?" asked a familiar voice.

Serena spun, and recognized Ash right away.

"Oh, uh, h-hi Ash." She stammered. "W-what are you doing here?"

I am real glad I revised this.

Let me know if you enjoyed! Review, Fav, whatever, I'd just love to hear what you guys think.

I'll be writing as many more chapters as I can before I lose interest in fanfics again, so see you guys soon.
