"SURPRIIIISE!" -

As Ash entered his house he was greeted with a round of applause. This was really unexpected for him. Somebody popped a confetti cracker. A lot of Ash's friends and acquaintances were gathered in the living room on the first floor.

"Congratulations on making it to the finals of the Kalos league! I'm so proud of you, sweetheart! I made calls to all of your friends so you could relax and have a good time." - Delia said as she pulled Ash in for a tight hug.

Everybody's eyes were pinned at Ash. The people who gathered were sitting on various chairs, sofas, etc. They were - : Misty, Brock, Delia, Professor Oak, Gary Oak, May, Max, Dawn, Iris, Cilan, Clemont, Bonnie, Serena, Alain, Mairin, Paul, Trip, Professor Juniper.

"Wow, this is so unexpected! Thank you all for coming. I hope you have fun!" Ash said and joined the party. They were watching a recording of the Kalos League on a TV.

Misty said " Wow you're Greninja is a really cool Water-type Pokemon I should also obtain this Pokemon"

Brock kneeled in front of Serena confessing his love for her. "Oh young beauty your prettiness is as magnificent as the golden sunset". Serena seemed to be embarrassed and freaked out. Dawn pulled Brock away by his ear.

Delia was making sure that everybody had enough food and drinks.

Professor Oak took Ash's Pokeballs with his new Kalos Pokemon and put them in his bag.

Gary Oak was lowkey checking out Serena's body which made her really uncomfortable but Ash, of course, was too dense to notice what was going on. It seemed as if Gary was slightly drunk.

May was consulting Serena about how to be a good Coordinator since that was Serena's new trainer class.

Max was making a smooth move on Bonnie and soon they were really good friends.

Dawn was quietly sitting in the corner observing the situation. Her eyes were locked on Ash. She thought that he had become really handsome. She wanted to tell him something later.

Iris was telling everybody that Ash was like a kid.

Cilan helped Delia out with the cooking, he was a master chef and connoisseur, after all. He said that Ash's battling style in the Kalos league was "spicy al dente" and it had "an explosive bittersweet aroma aftertaste". Ash didn't really catch his reference.

Clemont was completely wasted by alcohol and he was sleeping on the table next to his plate.

Bonnie was exchanging contact info with Max.

Serena was telling May about their adventures.

Alain and Mairin were checking out Ash's trophies and his other personal items. They seemed to be absorbed in each other's company so they paid little attention to other people.

Paul was drunk and he started singing karaoke. Ash was freaked out by Paul's behaviour.

Trip started trash talking everybody after drinking too much around and so he was kicked out for being a partypooper.

Professor Juniper seemed to be taking interest in Paul. She was drunk. She was steadily cuddling up to him and Paul didn't object.

While everybody was occupied with their activities, Serena dragged out Ash to the backyard. They didn't notice how somebody followed them.

"Hey, Serena, so you came to visit me, huh?" Ash said. (Ash felt slightly uncomfortable when he remembered how Serena kissed him at the Kalos airport. He was tired today after the trip to Kanto, Pallet town and he wasn't exactly in the mood for romantic stuff.)

Serena immediately threw herself at Ash, forcing a lip-to-lip kiss on him. Ash didn't know how to react. He was clueless. But he felt hormones boiling up in his blood as Serena's tongue embraced his own tongue letting the saliva flow freely between their mouthes. Serena disconnected her mouth with Ash's and wiped her saliva off Ash's lips with her index finger. Ash's heart was pounding so loud he could hear it in the night silence as he heavily breathed. Serena was smiling with satisfaction in her eyes. Ash looked into her eyes but he couldn't see what she saw. Were Serena's feelings mutual? Serena didn't really seem to understand that neither care about it.

Serena had something important to say.

"Yeah, actually...there's something I want to tell, no , to show you. watch carefully"

Serena's body started glowing in a faint white light. As she closed her eyes, her body and clothes reformed into the appearance of another girl in a green T-shirt and with red hair with two spiky pigtails. Ash was fairly used to witnessing miracles so he wasn't surprised but rather fascinated by the metamorphosis. He recognized the girl as Bianca from Alto Mare City...or ...since she was able to transform...

"~You're Latias!" Ash said in a loud voice.

"Yes", the girl said as she sighed and transformed back into the Serena identity. "I confess my love to you, Ash. Ever since you saved me in Alto Mare my thoughts were completely occupied by the imagery of your tender face. Do you remember how I kissed you at the sea docks? And later I kissed you at the airport. And now. That's three times!... I promised myself that one day I would find you. So I travelled across the Pokemon World searching for you. But as you understand, I couldn't use Bianca's identity - not that she minded - but I wanted to develop my own unique identity. If I were to remain a Pokemon , there would be no future for the two of us -Although I can still transform into the Latias Pokemon form... I know that the human society would have never accepted that. Bianca told me that. So I desired to become the ideal of a human girl. Serena is my own new identity - I didn't copy it from any girl - I developed it myself! Right now my mind is that of a human, can't you see that? I'm a real girl! Not a Pokemon! Not anymore! Now I know what it's like to be a Pokemon Trainer - and this is a life that I love! Ash...p-please, be m-my boyfriend." Serena/Latias(?) lowered her eyes.

"Serena, erm, Latias- uh, I-" Ash said-

"Oh my Arceus..." Somebody interrupted.

They both turned around. Right behind them, near the backyard door - a girl was standing there.

Dawn had seen their whole conversation.

Yeah, yeah I know this is a retcon but I think it's a good one. Serena=Latias, so Amourshipping=Altoshipping (at least in this story). As for slight inconsistencies, let's just forget about them for the sake of drama. Ash already has more than enough girls trying to take advantage of him.

Don't worry, the Grande Betrayal WILL HAPPEN. I'm just trying to make it, more realistic. I'm setting up the harem.

Anyways, how will DAWN react to Serena's double identity?!
