Hey, guys! I'm back after a little break. I haven't really been doing too much writing, seeing as I've had to get every single video ready that will be uploaded in June. If you're interested, I have two YouTube channels. The main one that I made all the videos for is called JAMES/GOLDENGOBLIN290, and I have a Pokemon channel by the name of POKEGOLD290. Go check them out if you're interested, but, without further or do, let's get to the chapter!


Ash stirred in his sleep, feeling something heavy land on his legs. "W-What?" Ash muttered, groggily opening his eyes only to see Serena's face inches from his; she was still asleep, though.

Ash was jolted awake by the close proximity between him and Serena, remembering that they both had slept together the night before, but still, it was weird for him.

"Pika!" Pikachu shouted, startling Ash slightly. So, it was Pikachu who landed on Ash's legs, waking him up. Not an anvil or anything, although that's what it felt like for Ash.

"Be quiet, Pikachu," Ash said, looking over Serena's shoulder to look at the little, yellow mouse. "Serena's still asleep."

Pikachu grinned, standing up on his two back legs, he lifted up his two front legs, using his fingers to form a heart shape before pointing it at Ash and Serena, making sure that he could see them both in the shape.

"Stop it, Pikachu. We're just friends," Ash told him, slightly blushing at the idea of him and Serena being together as a couple, which, to him at least, didn't seem like a bad idea.

"What's Pikachu saying, Ash?" Serena asked him, opening her eyes to look at Ash, who jumped as soon as she started talking, causing her to giggle slightly afterwards.

"I thought you were asleep!" Ash exclaimed, catching his breath afterwards.

"Well," Serena said, a slight blush appearing on her face. "I was, but I woke up about ten minutes ago, and... I like cuddling with you."

Ash was taken aback by her words, but, looking at her, he could tell she wasn't joking. "Really?"

"Y-Yeah," Serena muttered, shifting her arms slightly, causing Ash to notice that she had them wrapped around his neck, while he had his arms holding onto her back.

"We're in... A weird position, aren't we?" Ash asked her, causing her to look at him, confusion evident on her face as she stared into Ash's eyes.

"What do you mean?" She asked him, for some reason, eager to know the answer.

"Well, you're laying directly on top of me, and we're clinging to each other for dear life!" Ash explained, causing her to giggle at the last part.

"It's comfortable, though," Serena reminded him, causing Ash to nod before he looked over at the clock, noticing that it read seven AM.

"Well, I'm going to have to break this nice moment we've got here," Ash told Serena, who looked confused. "It's seven. We need to get up now if we're going to get to the camp on time!"

Serena looked disappointed. She was enjoying the relaxing moment the two of them had together. So much, in fact, that she didn't want it to end. "No!"

Ash looked her in the eyes, confused as to why she suddenly piped up, attempting to reject the facts. "What do you mean? We have to get up."

"I know," Serena said, starting to get desperate. "I just... Five more minutes? Please."

Ash sighed, knowing he couldn't resist her pleading. "Fine. Five more minutes. No more than that though, all right? We need to get up."

Serena nodded, lowering her head until it was resting on Ash's shoulder, her face buried in the crook of his neck.

Even though Ash was eager to get up and get ready, he was enjoying his time spent with Serena. It was like an angel was clinging to him. That's how Ash thought of it.


Fifty minutes later, Ash and Serena, along with Pikachu, left the hotel, heading towards Professor Sycamore's lab, which they were nearly at, as that was where he wanted them to meet him before he would lead them to the camp.

"Are you excited, Serena?" Ash asked her, to which she nodded, almost shaking due to the mixture of excitement and nervousness, but she kept her cool, not wanting to look odd to any on-lookers.

As the two of them entered the building, their bags, pulling on their shoulders, they were both greeted by Sycamore coming out of a room, a bag of his own on his back, although it didn't look like it was causing him any strain. "Hello, you two," Sycamore said as soon as he noticed them standing there. "Are you ready for the summer camp?"

Ash and Serena nodded in unison, causing Pikachu to laugh lightly, which, in turn, caused Ash and Serena to chuckle, followed by Sycamore. "Well," Professor Sycamore said. "We'll be leaving in a few minutes. I just have to go and help my assistant who will also be coming. She's leaving someone in charge of looking over the lab while we're gone, so she has to make sure that they can be trusted."

"I hope they can," Ash said, earning a nod from Sycamore. "This lab must contain hundreds of Pokemon."

"It does, in fact," Sycamore muttered before smiling at Ash and Serena one last time, leaving the room as he did so, presumably to go and help his assistant.

Serena dropped down onto the couch, who was quickly followed by Ash, who took off his bag, placing it on his lap, Serena copying his actions. "It won't be long now, Serena," Ash told her, who smiled, excited.

"I can't wait!" Serena exclaimed, causing Ash and Pikachu to laugh.

"Well, we don't have long to wait," Ash reminded her, causing her to squeal lightly as a result, making Ash recoil slightly, as the sudden noise startled him.

Serena laughed at Ash's jumpiness along with Pikachu, causing Ash to blush lightly, embarrassed at his reaction. "Sorry," Serena said, only just managing to get the words out through her laughter.

Sighing, Ash shook his head. "It doesn't matter," he told her, hoping that she wouldn't be too apologetic for something she couldn't control.

"I'm just so excited!"

"That's good, seeing as we're going now!" Sycamore told her as he re-entered the room, followed by his assistant.

Ash and Serena stood up smiling, grabbing their bags before they followed Sycamore out of his lab, entering a minibus before the four of them and Pikachu drove off to the camp.


There we go. Done! Another chapter is complete! Again, sorry for the wait, but I've been busy with YouTube. Anyway, leave a review with anything you want in it, as I will approve. Yes, even 'hate.' It's merely constructive criticism, so I'll be happy to hear about what I need to improve. BYE!
