Iris looked over at Ash, who was petting his Pikachu with a big smile on his face. "Hey, your butt dialing me!"

"Oh…" Ash replied and pulled out his phone from his chair he was sitting on, but then looked at it with an unamused look. "Okay, you got me."

Iris gave him an annoyed look. "Stop fooling around!" She showed him her xtransceiver that showed that he was calling.

"What? But how?" Ash showed Iris his phone, that showed that he wasn't calling anyone.

Iris looked at his phone with a shocked look. "Could that mean…" The xtransceiver stopped ringing, but she quickly called them back.

"…Hey! It is Iris!" the male on the other side shouted.

Iris gasped. "He sounds and looks exactly like you!"

"What?" Both Ashs questioned.

Cilan came over to see what the commotion was about, and Iris showed who called her. "Who's that?"

"You know who that is!" Iris shouted and gestured to Ashley.

"Hey Cilan!" Red shouted.

Cilan looked between Ashley and Red for a bit, then grinned when he saw who it is. "Wow Iris! You got all the Ashs seeking you!" he teased.

Iris looked away and got red. "G-get serious!" It annoyed her that Cilan has always teases her about liking Ash.

"We had a reason for calling!" a woman's voice snapped.

All three of them looked and saw a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes with an irritated look.

"Who's…?" Iris started.

"Oh!" Cilan looked over to Ashley. "She's the Kalos Queen, Serena! You know her?" Cilan likes to keep up with what's happening around the world and saw news articles that she recently beat Aira and became Kalos Queen.

Ashley smiled. "Yeah. She was someone I met in summer camp when we were young and bumped into her again in Kalos!"

Iris looked over at Ashley with a worried look. "He's smiling… does he like her?" she wondered.

"It's nice to meet you, Serena! We are good friends of Ash that traveled with him though the Unova region!" Cilan saw Iris and smirked. "Of course, Ashley enjoyed spending time with Iris than any other girl, right Ashley?"

Red gave an uncomfortable look when he heard that name.

Ashley looked away with a small blushed. "W-well…"

"I'm certain Red enjoyed being with me the most. He says I'm beautiful and sweet, and that he never forgot the kiss I gave him!"

"Kiss?!" Iris shouted and glared at Ashley.

Cilan gave Ashley a confused look.

Ashley looked away with an uncomfortable look. "Oh yeah… She kissed me, years ago. I forgot."

Serena gave a hurt look.

Iris turned her back on him with an angry look. "Whatever! If you like her, then I DON'T care! Marry her for all I care!" she snapped. "Yeah! Why does it even matter?" she thought to herself.

"I don't want to marry her, Iris. I just see her as a friend…" Ashley stated.

"Alright! Whatever! Don't care! Really!"

Cilan and Ashley starred at her with a concerned look.

"Well… I guess this means we finally found another Ash!" Ashley shouted.

"Actually, they found us…" Cilan stated.

Iris then got an idea. "It seems my number is the same in another dimension!"

"Seems like it," Red said.

"Well, maybe we can call the other Ashs and find them that way!"

Serena gave a confused look. "Will it really work that way?"

Ashley shrugged. "Might as well try it." He dialed his number, but it went to his voicemail.

"Makes sense…" Cilan said. "And when we call your number, we have only reached you. So, ether they have different numbers, or we reach the closest Ash."

Iris frowned. "That means that won't help us…"

"But the good news is that if I have an idea who another Ash could be with, we could call and potentially find one that way!" Red said.

"Yes, that could be helpful! In any case, you two should come to my gym to discuss it further," Cilan said.

"Us three will be right there!" a younger blonde shouted.

Iris and Cilan gave a confused look.

Meanwhile with Red's group:

After introducing Bonnie to Iris and Cilan, they went to Striaton Gym.

Ash looked over at Serena with a concerned look, seeing her with an upset look. "Serena, what's wrong?"

Serena looked away with an uncertain look. "I know this isn't something I should be worried about, and regardless… I want to see the Ash that is from our universe alive and well of course…" Serena looked at him with a pained look. "It's just that, so far… the other Ashs don't seem to see me more than a friend, unlike you." She looked down and away with a frown and narrowed eyes. "Does that mean… that he doesn't like me more than…? Is there someone else in this dimension that he desires?"

Ash and Bonnie looked at her, unsure of the answer.

Serena looked up with a forced smile. "It's okay, though! As long as he's happy…" She looked away as she grabbed her heart. It hurt her so much, thinking that the Ash that meant so much to her and that she believes made her a better woman, would fall for someone else. Serena turned away as tears fell from her face.

Ash walked up and gently wrapped his arms around her. "I don't get how the other mes didn't like you the most, out of all the girls I've meet. Of course, I care about all my friends… but I enjoyed the time I spent with you, the most." He pulled her back and starred her straight in her face. "And if this Ash doesn't feel the same way about you that I do… than he's missing out on a great woman!"

Serena looked at him with a shocked expression, but then smiled and blushed. "Thank you, Ash." Then slowly went in and kissed him.

Ash gave a shocked look with a huge blush on his face.

Bonnie had her hands on her cheeks with a shocked expression. "YES! FINALLY!" she thought to herself.

Serena winked. "Didn't forget about what we discussed earlier!"

Ash laughed. "Right! It was…. as great as I remember!"

Serena laughed with a blush.

They starred at each other for a moment, then realized they needed to get going.

It was nighttime when they arrived at Striaton Gym. They walked in and were greeted by Iris, Cilan and his brothers, and what appeared to be blonde girl.

"Hello there… Have we met before?" Red asked the blonde.

The blonde looked away with an uncomfortable look. "K-kinda…"

"Gezz, you need glasses if you can't recognize yourself!" Iris stated.

A pikachu hopped on Ashley's shoulder.

Red gasped. "What?! Why do you dress me up like that?!" He was really hoping that they were talking to some other person named Ashley when he heard them say that name.

Iris shrugged. "You're such a drama queen. Think it's appropriate for you to look the part."

Serena narrowed her eyes with a confused look, wondering how anyone could like her when they say things like that about him.

"Don't worry! Team Rainbow won't even suspect that I'm Ash," Ashley stated.

"Do you think they'd suspect him of being Ash?" Serena questioned, mentioning Red.

"No! That is a great disguise you got for him!" Cilan exclaimed. "Sit down and tell us everything you know. My brothers and I can get you something to drink."

"Sounds great!" Red said.

They all sat down, and they were brought out some tea that they ordered.

"So…" Ash started the explanation of all that happened.

"So that's why we weren't able to find the Ashs in Hoenn and Kalos that were reported to have seen an Ash there," Cilan said.

Iris gave a confused look. "That doesn't explain what happened to the Ash seen in Sinnoh, though…"

Cilan gave a thoughtful look. "That's true…" He gave a worried look. "We could only hope he found a way to hide himself, and not get caught by someone from Team Rainbow…"

Red beamed. "Well, if he's doing what we all did, then he's looking for a someone that's important to him! And so far, that's been a woman that I'd traveled with though the region!"

Ashley frowned. "Yeah, Dawn… We called her and said she hasn't seen him." He remembered Cilan catching on that Ash might be going to see his previous traveling companions that were girls, and with Iris having her number called her to check.

Red, Bonnie, and Serena gave a surprised look.

"Cynthia secretly looked in the area where it was said he was seen at, and the international police were also looking around to see if they could find anything. I would think he's fine if there was no report of a body found," Cilan explained.

Serena frowned. "So… all of this, and you haven't found a single Ash?"

Iris smirked. "Actually… we have three, counting Ashley of course!"

Bonnie looked around. "Where are the other Ashs?"

Iris irritatingly sighed. "Ash is so stubborn. Both had to go find his friend that they were certain will help and went to try and find them."

"Of course, we got them in disguises with different names… so they should be safe," Cilan explained.

"Hey, did they say who they are looking for? The Ashs here could call them, and we could help get them together with the Ashs looking for them!" Serena said.

The Ashs smiled and said, "yeah, good idea!"
