Prologue


It's been one week since the Kalos League ends. Clemont and Bonnie decided to go home. They said, they will meet up at the airport to say goodbye.

So, Ash and Serena staying at the Pokemon Centre in Lumois City.

After dinner, Serena sitting on the bed in deep thoughts.

Serena started her journey with Ash, after seeing him on live TV trying to save a mind-controlled Garchomp on top of the Luminose City gym.

Serena remembers him, the boy who helps her years ago at Professor Oak's Pokemon summer camp.

After met him again, Serena realized a completely new feeling, something different, she never has this feeling, before. She discovered that this feeling is love.

She was glad that Ash asked her to travel along with him.

Ash is leaving Kalos, she still hasn't confessed her feelings.

Serena thought today she would confess her love for him just like every other day. But the pain of being rejected always stopped her.

Every night talking to herself, trying to finds a way of confession. Yet the heart always lost a war against her head.

Serena was confused. She doesn't know if this is her mistake, for not have the courage to tell the boy she loves about her feelings, or it's Ash's mistake, for not being able to notice Serena's behavior around him, the way she blush, the way she talks to him, the way she look in his eyes.

"Why he is so dense!" Serena shouted in frustration.

Serena POV

I sighed.

"Tomorrow, Ash is leaving." I thought.

"If I don't tell him how I feel, I might never get the chance," I said to myself.

I made her way to Ash's room and sit on the bed next to Pikachu.

"Pika," Pikachu squeaked.

"I'm going to miss you and Ash," I whispered.

"Pika!"

Ash arrived in his room.

"So, you are leaving tomorrow?"

"Yeah,"

"What's your next journey?"

"Well, I haven't decided yet," Ash said and sat on the bed. "Where are you going, next?"

"I am going to the Hoenn Region and take part in the Pokemon Contest."

Ash nods his head.

"I am sure you will do great."

"Thank you for asking me to travel with you," I smiled

"It's was so great that we traveled together," Ash said.

"Pika," Pikachu said.

Serena smiled.

"Good night, see you in the morning," I said.

"Good night, Serena," Ash said.

Next Day

Serena POV

We arrived at the airport, to go our separate ways.

"Well, I guess it's time."

"Your flight to Hoenn is first," Clemont said, snapping me back to reality.

"Why not we called all the Pokemon so they could all say goodbye to each other," Bonnie suggested.

"That's a great idea, Bonnie." Ash smiled.

I nod my head.

"I choose you!" Ash shouted and called all of his Pokemon.

"Let's go!" I called my Pokemon.

After 5 minutes

All the Pokemon say goodbye to each other.

"Flight to Hoenn is boarding soon," The announcer said.

"Clemont, Bonnie...thank you so much," Serena said.

"Ash..." I walk towards Ash.

Ash looks at me.

I took out a box that is wrapped in gift paper.

"Ash, I wanted to give this to you."

I smiled and gives the gift box to Ash who happily accepts it.

"Consider is our parting gift. I wish we will meet again in the future." I said.

"Yeah, we will meet again," Ash said.

"Really!"

"Of course, Serena you are a great friend." Ash smiled.

"Thank you," I blushed.

"Make sure to visit us sometimes," Bonnie said with tears falling from her eyes.

"Yeah, Bonnie."

"So, this is it," Clemont said.

"Yeah, goodbye," Serena said with tears in her eyes.

"Goodbyes are not forever are not the end. They simply mean, I'll miss you, until we meet again." Ash said.

I smiled and nod my head.

Everyone walk towards the escalator to say bye to me.

"Ash thanks for asking me to travel with you, it was so much fun." I smiled and put my hand on my heart.

"Uh, welcome Serena."

"See you again!" I said as I walk into the escalator.

I give one last look at them.

Ash walks forward and waves his hand.

Halfway across the escalator, I stopped and turned towards Ash, with the biggest smile on my face.

"Hey, Ash one more thing!"

I started running into the escalator.

I didn't know what I was doing.

I leaned close to Ash and kissed him on the lips. Time stopped at the moment.

The kiss lasted for nearly 2 seconds.

l look at Ash, as the escalator started to take me further away.

"We will Meet Again!" I yelled.

A big smile on my face and I was blushing.

Ash nodded his head and waved his hand.

"I hope he does not think I am weird." I thought.

"I can't believe I did it," I whispered.

"I kissed him."

Serena POV

As I looked out of the window, I could see Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie waving me off as they got smaller and smaller until I could no longer see them.

This was it. My new journey is officially started. After 1 hour of flight, it was started to get dark.

The sun has set, and the majority of the passengers were asleep. I am still thinking about Ash...

"We Will Meet Again." Serena thought.

Soon, the plane landed in Hoenn Region. I step outside of the Airport.

"This is a new beginning. I can't wait to travel to the Hoenn region." I thought.

"Hoenn Region, here I am!" I shouted.

After One year

At Slateport Contest Hall

Hoenn Grand Festival

"Sylveon, Moon Blast!" Sylveon let out a huge cry and drew on the power of the moon. She released it in a huge pink beam at Glaceon.

Only 30 seconds to go to decide the winner. Their points are equal now, if Sylveon and Glaceon took another hit, that Pokemon would fall.

"Glaceon! Jump up and use Swift!" May didn't waste any more time to call her counter attack

Glaceon jumped up and twitched her tail, sending the golden stars at the pink beam exploding dozens of colors around Glaceon. Her blue fur and her pale blue eyes reflected the light and its glow with millions of colors. Glaceon front flipped to the ground and landed gracefully. Finally, the clock struck 0.

Serena's remaining points disappeared, and Serena sighed.

"Winner is May who made it to the final!"

Serena lowered her head.

"I lose once again. I train so hard but..." Serena thought.

"That was an amazing battle, Serena," May said with a big smile on her face.

After one hour

"The winner of the Hoenn Grand Festival is May!!" Lillian announced.

Serena shook May's hand smiled. "Congratulations! May!"

"Thanks, Serena!!" May shouted in excitement and bring Serena into a hug.

"So, where are you going to travel next?" Serena asked May.

"I didn't decide yet I am thinking about taking a break." May smiled.

"What about you?"

"I am going back to Kalos," Serena replied.

"Okay, and good luck with your dream," May said. "Goodbye!"

May wave her hand as Serena watched her best friend walks away.

Serena sighed, "My Hoenn journey is over, I wonder what my next journey will be."

After her journey to Hoenn, She returned home and was greeted by her mom.

Grace immediately hugs her for a minute.

"Serena welcome back! How was your journey?"

"It was a great mom. I had so much fun."

"That's great!"

"Fletch Fletchling!" Fletchling fly around and sat on Serena's head. "Nice to meet you too, Fletchling."

Next day

Hearing the news that Serena came back from Hoenn. Shauna and Miette came to meet her and congratulate her.

Right now they were sitting in Serena's room.

"Congratulations! Serena," Shauna shouted.

"You did great at your first Pokemon Contest. We watch the contest on the T.V." Miette said.

"Really?" Serena asked in shock.

Serena remembered her talk with Palermo.

"You did pretty well on your first contest."

"Thanks, I think I am ready to challenge Aria again." Serena smiled.

Flashback

"No, you are not ready!" Palermo said rudely.

"W-what do you mean?" Serena whispered.

"You did great but not good enough, you lose at the Semi finale," Palermo looked straight into her eyes and asked one question. "You don't want to lose against Aria once again, do you?"

Serena clenched her fist, "Of course, not."

Palermo smiled, "That's what I like to hear! But there is so much you need to learn,"

Palermo said nothing for a moment.

"Before challenging Aria for the title of Kalos Queen."

End of flashback

"Serena, what are you thinking?"

"It's just my talk with Palermo yesterday, she said that I am not ready to face Aria again."

"Maybe...she is right. Why not you take part in the contest again." Shauna suggested.

- - - - -

Serena thought for a moment and said, "Maybe that's a great idea."

"And I have good news for you." Miette smiled.

"What good news?"

"The Pokemon contest will start in two weeks in the Kanto Region," Miette said and shows her tablet which showing the Pokemon Contest schedules from all the region.

"Yup, I am decided that I am going to Kanto to take part in the contest," Serena announced.

"If you go there then you will able to meet Ash again." Miette winked.
