So I have a question for anybody who plans to stick with this story. Personally I know that battles are a big part of Pokemon, but I am more about the story and plot then the battles and nothing makes me madder then when i notice a new chapter in a story I'm following and as I read it I realize the entire chapter is one battle. So my question is, Do you guys like that? Because, if so I'll put more time into writing battle scenes. However, if you are like me I'll write them out fairly short and sweet. please let me know!

I do not own pokemon.

Chapter 5

Meanwhile on a ship off the coast of Kalos. Kalani had a slight seatdrop at his girlfriends introduction, "Alola, it's wonderful to meet one of Shauna's friends." He said with

a smile. Serena decided to do a once over on this "Kalani" who was dating her best friend. He had a tan complexion with bright blue eyes, he has long dirty blonde hair

that drops down to right below his shoulder is a wild fashion. He's currently wearing a pair of ripped jeans that Serena assumes were picked out by Shauna. He also has

on a tan pair of casual loafers with a black striped button down shirt. He was certainly attractive enough for Shauna but looks aren't everything. Serena decided she

would need to do some investigating to ensure this guy was good enough to date her bestfriend. "Hi Kalani, I'm Serena, it's a pleasure to meet you." Serena said before

returning her attention to Shauna. "So, Shauna we have so much catching up to do! You two go drop your stuff off and I'll find us a table to sit at here on deck!" and

just like that they were gone. Serena did as she said she would and found them a table. As she sat there waiting for her friends she couldn't help but get lost in her

thoughts, "I can't believe Shauna has a boyfriend. I wonder how she did it.. maybe she could give me some tips to help with Ash.." with that thought Serena began

thinking about a certain trainer and his Pikachu and couldn't keep from getting flustered. She popped back to reality as she heard someone sit down in the chair next to

her. "Serena, I can't believe we both ended up on this ship! It has to be fate." Shauna said joyfully to her friend. "I know right?! How did you end getting a cruise? And

where's Kalani?" Serena responded to the brunette. "He's unpacking all of our stuff. He told me to come have fun. He's so stinkin sweet Serena! But anyways I have so

much to tell you. So, while you were off in Hoenn I made another run for Kalos queen! I got a few new pokemon too! Kalani and his pokemon taught me some really

cool dances and stuff that we were able to use as well! We made it all the way to the master class and managed to tie Aria in the finals! A Tie! Can you believe it!"

Shauna said filled with excitement. "You tied Aria?! How does that work?! What did they do?!" Serena started questioning being filled with joy for her friend. "Well they

said this is the first time there has ever been a tie, they weren't sure what to do. So, they named us both Kalos Queens and that next year there would be two Master

class competitions. The first will be a week before the last performance and it will be specifically between me and Aria to decide who will be competing at the second

performance. Either way I'm so excited! I learned so much from watching your performances from last year and keeping up with some of your performances in Hoenn

too! I used everything I learned from you to get to Aria!" Shauna admitted happily. "Well you better win… You better beat Aria, Shauna. When I come back to Kalos I

still plan on being Kalos Queen and I want it to be you vs me in the finals Shauna!" Serena said seriously to her best friend.

Shauna looked slightly shocked before smiling and nodding to her friend. A waitress came by there table and asked if she could get them

anything to drink. They both ordered a Pinap Juice and enjoyed telling each other stories about their journeys. Shauna decided she was going to go back to check on

Kalani and Serena decided she should head in as well but she was going to stay out a little bit longer. As she sat contemplating everything Shauna had told her she

noticed Kalani walking up to her. "Oh hi." Serena said politely to her new "friend?" "Alola" he said laughing. "So, Shauna's told me a lot about you. I'm glad Arceus

brought you two back together again." He said smiling. "Will this be your first time visiting Alola?" he asked next. "Yes, I've always wanted to go. The opportunity just

never presented itself. Have you been?" Serena asked politely. Kalani laughed, "I was born there, it's where I grew up. My family moved there from the Hoenn region a

couple years before I was born." "Really? How did you end up in Kalos then? If you don't mind me asking." Serena responded curiously. "Well you see, in Alola we don't

have a pokemon league, we don't have gyms; however, we do have an island challenge. When I turned 10 my father gave me my first pokemon. Once, I turned 11 me

and my mudkip took on the island challenge. We traveled and made lots of friends, but once we finished all of the trials we didn't want it to end. So, we decided to travel

to Kalos to see how we could compete with the rest of the Regions trainers. When I got there, I just so happened to run into Shauna at a Café in Lumiose City. She was

the prettiest thing I'd ever seen. So I went to the counter and paid for her meal and order for myself and took a seat. When she realized what had happened she wanted

to thank me. I told her she could thank me by going to dinner with me. And everything took off from there." He said with a smile. "When Performing season ended and

I finished up at the Battle Chateau we both had a significant amount of award money and we decided to take a cruise to Alola and I could show her my home." As he

finished Serena could see that he truly did care for her friend. "So, you really do like Shauna don't you?" She asked to confirm her suspicions. "Like is an

understatement." And with that he began to walk off towards the rooms. Serena decided it would probably be a good idea. They would be reaching Alola in the morning

and she would need to be rested. As she drifted off to sleep she couldn't help but smile as she thought about the boy she had come so far to see again. Serena woke up

the next morning and began to pack up her things. As she finally got the last of things packed and ready she began her walk to the deck. As she walked into the sun she

could see the docks as they approached. She moved to the railing to get a closer look and that's when she noticed a certain boy standing on the beach with a Pikachu on

his shoulder looking right at her with a look of pure shock on his face.
