Pokémon Journey: Kalos Quest

Hey guys Paradox here and wel Chapter 79 and Chapter 36 of the Kalos Quest. So I am back from trip, and it wasn't a vacation but of a personal trip I had to do. Now then, here is an OC of my own creation of Ash and Serena second date. Figure one date went good so why not have another? Plus it'll be excellent for all you Amourshippers out there. Of course it'll focus on Ash and Serena while also referring to past and future events. So enjoy.

Chapter 79: A Moment in Eternity

As the group finally made it to the Anistar Performance Hall, Serena and Shauna rushed inside to sign in. Meanwhile the rest of the group stuck around outside trying their breath. "Whew..we...we made it." Tierno huffed. "No kidding. We were cutting it pretty close." Ash said as he took deep breaths. "It's okay, it's okay. Easy now." Trevor helped Clemont breath in and out. "Is Clemont okay?" Drake asked. "Yea...I'm..I'm just." Clemont muttered until he fell back and fainted.

"Oh heck." Rene said as she saw Clemont fall. "Here, sit him up, get oxygen in him and when comes to, have him drink this." Drake said as he gave Trevor a Fresh Water. "Hey guys." Everyone turns to see Serena and Shauna returning from registration. "Are you guys in?" Bonnie asked. "Yep and at the last second too." Shauna said. "That's a relief." Drake said. "So...what should we do now?" Tierno asked. "Well I need to head back to the Pokémon Center to practice some more." Shauna said. "I agree, me too but only until three o'clock." Serena said. "What's happening at three?" Shauna asked. "Oh only just for me and Ash to have our second date." Serena said as she and Ash put each other's arms around each other.

"Ohh! That's so cute! Could I come along?" Shauna asked with puppy eyes. "It's just us Shauna. Overwise it wouldn't be a date." Ash explained. "Man Ash's is so lucky to be dating someone as beautiful as Serena." Tierno said with some drool in his mouth. "Haha, keep dreaming you." Rene said as Tierno broke off from his faze.

Everyone figured to walk back to the Pokémon Center to enjoy the rest of their day. During the walk, the brothers Ketchum walked by side secluded from everyone. "So do you still have it?" Drake asked Ash. Ash nodded and took out a small black jewelry box. "It's right here." Ash said. "You still remember the technique I taught you?" Drake asked. "Of course I do. I do plan on doing it right in from of her to make it extra special." Ash said as he remembered just yesterday some time after Serena and Shauna left to practice, Ash and Drake flew into town to a nearest jewelry store. Ash figured to bring Drake along since gift bearing isn't his strongest suit in a relationship or anyway for the matter. Afterwards Drake figure to teach Ash a certain Aura trick that he once used to store memorabilia in a time flower. "Serena's gonna love it."

Back at the Pokémon Center, Serena and Shauna practice their routines with each other. "So...this is your second date with Ash." Shauna asked. "Yea? What of it?" Asked Serena. "It's just I thought you guys had more then two." Shauna said. "Shauna, most of our time spent on the road getting the next place." Serena explained. "I know but still." Shauna said as Serena only shrugged off her question. Nervous of the next question, Shauna continued to poke further of Serena's relationship.

"So um...how long have you guys been...um...you know?" Shauna asked. "What do you mean?" Serena asked. "Well..you know." Shauna figure to do the sign of intercourse with her hands. Serena immediately felt her eyes widen and reacted. "NO,no,no. It never happened! Even if it did, I wouldn't tell you of it!" Serena darted in front of Shauna.

"Sorry..I just figured that you were half nude." "So what!? You assume that!? My relationship with Ash is my own. You shouldn't have barged into our room like that. And since I can't do nothing about it. You. Will. Never. Speak. Of. It. Again." Serena threaten. Shauna quiver under her gaze and immediately nodded like a frightened child. "Good." Serena said as she retreated.

An awkward moment passed and Shauna tried again. "It's just that I thought, you know Ash being this awesome, handsome, strong trainer that he is,and he was also half naked, I assume that he must've been...you know...good." Shauna said as Serena glared angrily and said nothing other then walked away from Shauna.

The clock struck three as Ash was waiting in the lobby until Serena came out. "Hey Sweetheart." Ash said happily. "Ready to go Babe?" Serena asked. "I've been ready for ten minutes." Ash said. "You can't blame me to look perfect today of all days." Serena said as she showed herself off to her boyfriend. "You are perfect to me everyday. Always." Ash said with love as the happy couple took each other in their arms and shared a passionate kiss.

"There's you guys are." Rene said as she and Drake came. "You guys will care for our Pokémon?" Ash asked. "Don't worry. They'll be alright with us. Go have fun." Drake said. "I figure as much. No doubt even Frogadeir and Delphox will enjoy their night as well?" Rene asked. "Probably. They are mates for life as we are." Serena said. "Well..we should probably get going." Ash said. "Right,have fun guys." Drake said as Ash and Serena left the Center.

On the sidewalk, Ash and Serena decided what to do first. "So what is first of your plan Sweetie?" Serena asked. "I figure a nice time at the nearby park. Followed by some sightseeing, a nice dinner at a nice restaurant and ending it with a nice nighttime scroll." Ash said. "Oooh, So you did plan everything out." Serena giggled. "I'm just full of surprises am I?" Ash boasted.

Back at the Pokémon Center, the others figure it was time to feed the Pokémon. Rene made sure to also feed them the Poké puffs Serena left for them. Serena made sure to make plenty so that the Pokémon could even get seconds, maybe thirds even. "Alright guys. Come get a Poke Puff." Bonnie invited the Pokémon. Everyone managed to receive just one for now. Eating alone, Eevee enjoyed her trainer's Poke Puff as Pikachu figured Eevee could some company. Eevee looked up to the Electric Mouse but didn't wavered only blushed red that her crush stood in front of her. Acting on instinct, Pikachu decided to give Eevee his poke puff just as the latter finished hers.

Surprised by the gesture, Eevee happily took it with glee and ate it. She then come to Pikachu and cuddle its body with his. Eevee purred with delight, Pikachu's fur was as soft as silk but what matters to her most was the sound of Pikachu's heart beating faster then normal as she continues to snuggle Pikachu's body. Pikachu was dumbstruck, for the first time he didn't know what to do in this situation. He looked over to Frogadeir and Delphox who were feeding each other's poke puff to each other while snuggling their bodies to each other. Figuring to follow his instincts, Pikachu purred back, snuggling his body to Eevee. Rene looked to see the happy Pokémon couples and started to think that love was in the air.

Meanwhile in the park, Ash and Serena sat at a park bench with their arms around each other. "I wish we could always stay like this." Serena said as she leans on Ash's shoulder. "You and me both." Ash smiled as he leans on Serena's head. Serena looked around to see an elderly couple feeding breadcrumbs to Fletchling. "Ash...what do you think our future will be like?" Serena asked. "What do you mean?" Ash wondered. "Our future. Like where are we gonna be in like...ten years." Serena said. "Well, how do you see us in that time?" Ash asked.

"Well...by then we would be married, nice big house, and two little boys and two little girls." Serena said. "Not bad for a start. I'm surprised we could've had more then four." Ash joked. "Maybe we do. But I do indeed want us together forever, raising a family." Serena said. "You know I'm of a live in the moment kinda guy,but you're right...eventually I too desire that life." Ash said chuckled. "You know the other night I had a dream." Ash said.

"Do tell." Serena said. "I was in an all white scene. I couldn't see my body or move. Then right in front of me running was a kid, a boy around four, five. He was running until he hugged this woman. I think the woman was his mother, she was absolutely beautiful, golden honey hair that went to her shoulders, an elegant all white dress." Ash said. "Sounds like an angel." Serena said. "That was it because that angel was you sweetheart. You were around lates twenties. You...wow...really beautiful. And the boy turned towards me and he had dark hair with a shade of light, your eyes, your nose, your smile. That's when I knew that was an older you...hugging our son." Ash said.

"Wow Ash...that seems magical." Serena shed some tears. "It almost was. Like it was real." Ash said as he and Serena enjoyed their time in the park. Afterwards, Serena wanted to go window shopping hence not actual shopping which Ash felt relief. Inside town, Serena and ash walked hand in hand looking at various items stores were offering. Serena would often marvel at beautiful dresses hanging outside windows of clothing outlets. "Wow, this store even has some Valerie's personal clothing line." Serena said outside a certain store. "If you want we could go in." Ash said. Serena immediately couldn't wait and drag Ash into the store with her.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Bonnie played catch with most of the Pokémon on the field, Shauna was grooming her Pokémon, Tierno was rehearsing his dancing routine, Trevor was looking over his photo collection. At the same time, the duo Pokémon couple were still together since lunch. Frogadeir and Delphox overlooked the others playing while Pikachu and Eevee were cuddled up taking a nap. Being new to this whole...pre-relationship thing, Pikachu figure to follow Eevee's instincts and decisions just to make her happy. Figuring that everything was all good, Drake and Rene sat outside the battlefield.

"So...since I haven't brought it up in awhile. Why don't you try calling Dinatha?" Rene played. "And I thought you would forget about it. I told you that Dinatha is always busy." Drake said. "Sooner or later. You'll gonna have to do so eventually." Rene said. "No I don't. What about you?" Drake asked. "What about me." Asked Rene. "Surely for a former Kalos Queen and successful model. You must've had many, many suitors." Drake smirked. "There were some, but you know me. I was on a tight leash and had to keep up appearances." Rene said. "So all work and no play makes a very dull Queen." Drake said causing Rene to laugh.

"But it seems different with Aria on the throne." Drake said. "That's because Aria is different with nothing to lose. I've had a chance to read her performance profile. She's an only child with two loving parents who supported her entire performance career. The rest is just what I expected." Rene said. "So a normal girl with skill." Drake said. "Exactly, who knows maybe Palermo is being abit nicer now so Aria doesn't run out like I did." Rene said. "Don't you miss the life though?" Drake asked. "Gods no, that crown took Mara away from me. That old hag stole my life from me...I'll be damned to let her do that someone else." Rene said. "You'll prove it though. If Serena wins the whole thing." Drake said. "She's like Mara though, when we were younger. She's like a sister to me. If Serena does win the Master Class, I could shove that glory down Palermo's throat and watch the dust come out." Rene smirked.

Night came and despite going through six more clothing stores, Serena didn't buy anything but tried out the fit of clothing with Ash's opinion on them. Ash didn't think it would end but it did and with their dinner reservation coming up. They decided to make their way to the restaurant Ash picked out. It wasn't too fancy to where you have to dress formal nor was it expensive.

A waitress welcome and gave the couple a booth as the couple figured what to order. Ash ordered chicken while Serena got smoke salmon. Digging into their food, the happy began the small talk. "So how's your salmon?" Ash asked. "Real smokey, but they caught the favor in the right place. Your Chicken?" Serena asked. "Nice and tender." Ash smiled.

"So..you still have a plan for tomorrow." Ash asked. "It's still the same. I'll use Pancham for the Theme Performance. Then I'll use Delphox and Milotic for the Freestyle Performance." Serena said. "That does seem the plan concept. But there is simply the matter of the kind of Theme Performance will take place." Ash mention. "It's meant to surprise contestants. Don't worry honey, I'll get pass the first round." Serena reassured which brought a smile to Ash. "So how's your routine? I could imagine people would seem sketchy for a performer to use two Pokémon that are completely opposite to one another." Ash said.

"Let them be then. Rene taught me of how complete opposites can bring surprises to an audience." Serena said. "Believe me, I know how that feels." Ash said. "Trust me Ash. I got something plan for tomorrow." Serena said. "You'll also be competing against Shauna. That hasn't happened since Coumarine City." Ash said. "I know. She'll be my biggest challenge. If I come through this, it'll prove how far I've came. Plus there'll be a side of payback for barging into our room this morning." Serena said. "I'm sure she didn't mean to without reason. You would've been late if she didn't do that." Ash said. "Ash, she thought we had sex last night,and wanted to know everything." Serena whispered. "Well...that's new of her. On the bright side if it was Miette, it would've been nonstop questions about it even for me." Ash said but Serena didn't waver from the question. "Don't let it bother you. I'm sure Shauna now knows not to ask about it. You need to focus on tomorrow though." Ash said as Serena finally agreed on that.

After dinner, Ash and Serena took a night time stroll heading back to the Pokémon Center. Along the way they stopped in the middle of a bridge over a river when Serena saw how the moonlight reflected on the water. "Wow, It's so beautiful." Serena said. "Yea it is." Ash agreed with something pondering in his mind. "Should I do it now? Is now a good time?...oh screw it Ash. Just do it!"

"Serena." Ash called while Serena turns to him. "Ash, I have to admit. This night tops off our last date." Serena said. "Well you make it the best for me." Ash said. "That's why I still have a surprise in store. Close your eyes." Ash said. "Come on Ash. I can't handle the wait." Serena pouted. "You'll like this I swear. Now come on." Ash said until Serena sighed and closed her eyes. Ash then took the time get on one knee and present the small black box in his hand.

"Okay, you can look now." Ash called as Serena looked to see her boyfriend on one knee which took her breath away. In his hands, she focus on what was a jewelry box that brought tears to Serena's eyes. "Ash, What is this?" Serena's voice cracked. "Open it and find out." Ash said. Serena obeyed and took the box and opened it. Inside was a small necklace with a encrusted box style chain. The jewel hanging was a cut blue sapphire framed into a heart shaped pendent encrusted with small diamonds around it.

"Ash..I.I don't know what to say." Serena felt the tears sliding down her face. "That's not even the best part. Watch this." Ash took the necklace in hand as Serena watch what Ash had plan. Channeling his Aura, Ash manifested his Aura to his hand and manipulated the engery to merge into the sapphire. Serena gasped as she saw the sapphire glowed bright blue until it dimmed to where only a semi transparent blue light danced inside the gem.

"Ash, what did you do?" Serena asked. "I reverse a bit of my Aura into the sapphire. Drake taught me the tick. Now a part of me will always be with you." Ash said as he gesture for permission to put the necklace around her neck. Serena accepted and allowed Ash to clasped the necklace around her neck. Serena deemed it a perfect fit and looked into the sapphire to see the speck of her boyfriend's aura dancing inside. "Ash...I really don't know what to say." Serena cried. "You don't have to say anything. You don't have to prove anything. I love you Serena for who you are, and I always will." Ash said. Serena cried until emotion took her and pushed her lips into Ash's giving a passionate almost lustful kiss.

Walking into the Pokémon Center, the happy couple noticed that everyone left the battlefield and figured to check the dining hall. They weren't there either and figured they retreated to their rooms for the night. With that, Ash and Serena went to their room for the night. As they walk in, their Pokémon welcome them back. "Hey everyone. Did you guys enjoyed your day?" Ash asked as the Pokémon nodded. "So I imagine everyone must be tired tonight. We should tuck in since tomorrow guys, it's time to get serious." Serena said, referring to her Pokémon. Ash and Serena returned their Pokémon minus Frogadeir,Delphox,Pikachu and Eevee. "So I imagine you guys enjoyed your dates as well." Ash asked as the water and fire Pokémon nodded. "Eevee did you enjoy your day with Pikachu?" Serena asked as Eevee immediately nodded.

"You really like him do you?" Serena asked as Eevee shyly nodded. "I'm sure Pikachu feels the same way." Serena said as she figured to get ready for bed. Finally the lights where out and the couples were sound asleep in the room. Before going to bed, Ash and Serena made sure to be clothed in their pjs in case something like the previous morning gets repeated. Now tomorrow will Serena's Showcase comes and hopefully her second Princess Key as the Journey continues.
