So I'm just wondering what everybody think about the story so far. This is my first time writting and If you have any tips or complaints I'm open ears. So please feel free to leave a review! I do not own Pokemon
Chapter 7
"Hello Serena, I see you've made it safely to Alola." Palermo acknowledged as she look at her pupil. "Yes Ma'am! It's so pretty here!" Serena said honestly. "Yes it is. Enjoy
your vacation Serena, you did well in Hoenn you've eaned it. Be ready to resume our training though." Palermo told the young honey blonde. "Well you see Palermo… the
thing is… I was calling to talk to you about some things." Serena said nervously. Palermo's eyes narrowed at that, "Well go on, I'm listening." "Well.. on the ship ride here I
ran into Shauna.. Why didn't you tell me she tied Aria?" Serena asked with hint of aggravation in her tone. "Because you aren't competing for the title of Kalos Queen at the
moment. I needed you to focus on your training. You also were prepping for the Hoenn Grand Festival, I didn't want you regretting your decisions before such an important
contest." Palermo said honestly. "All the same, I should have been told so I could support my friend, but that's not what I really need to talk to you about. You see I've
decided I'm going to be staying in Alola to train and travel for a little while. I wanted to let you know." Serena said with more confidence then she thought she could muster.
"Oh Serena… How do you ever plan to be Kalos Queen if you don't start getting serious? You need to decide what it is you want, this is not a goal you can accomplish by half
doing it. I hope this isn't because of that boy again" Palermo said seriously. "Well you see its ju-" was all Serena could say before Ash had enough, "Hey! Serena is an
amazing performer already, She won the Hoenn Grand Festival didn't she? Obviously she can handle herself, if it helps I'll promise to help her practice and make sure she's
staying committed! There are so many amazing pokemon here in Alola! I know Serena can find some wonderful performers to help her fulfill her dream! Just give her a
chance!" Ash exclaimed doing his best to defend his friend. "Hmmmm.." She muttered at she looked at the boy. She realized then that maybe Serena wasn't chasing a fairy
tale after all. If this boy felt the same Palermo couldn't get in the way. "You've convinced me.. Serena has my blessing to stay in Alola. But I expect you to call me regularly
with updates on your training, and as Ash stated earlier I expect a full team of wonderful Alolan performers. As for you Ash, I'm holding you to your promise. You will help
Serena to reach her full potential." Palermo said expressionless. "Yes ma'am! Serena will be a queen for sure!" Ash said filled with his usual enthusiasm. Palermo let out a
hint of a smile before biding them farewell. "…Thank you Ash." Serena said before wrapping the boy in a bear hug. She had a few stray tears falling down her cheek. "Of
course Serena. I'll always defend you! But Serena.. why are you crying?" he asked honestly as he placed his hands on her shoulders pushing her back so he can look her in
the eyes. Serena smiled, "Oh Ash! These are tears of joy. I get to travel with you again! I've been on my own for a while now and I forgot what it's like to have someone
stand up for you.. You just.. really made me happy." Serena said with a grin from ear to ear. And for just a moment they sat and stared into each others eyes before they
were interrupted by a seriously upset Pikachu whom had just accidentally licked his ice cream to hard and knocked it out of the cone and onto the floor. "it's okay Pikachu! I
have a surprise for you!" Serena said with a smile. "pika?!" The yellow ball of joy replied, "What kind of surprise Serena?" Ash asked as his own curiosities peaked. "Well you
see Ash I made a few new friends back in Hoenn! But I only brought one of them here with me. Come on out!" Serena said as she tossed a pokeball from her belt. As it
opened Ash and Pikachu both looked on in shock as a female Pikachu revealed herself. She had a bright pink bow tied around her right ear. "A pikach?!" Ash said instantly
filled with excitement. "Ya! I started really missing you and Pikachu on my journey. Right around that time I ran into this one." Serena said smiling. Ash's Pikachu ran to his
new friend "Pika pi!" Pikachu said introducing itself. Serena's Pikachu looked a combination of nervous and excited. She started to reply, "P-Pikachu." She said softly
turningher tail to meet his. Serena and Ash smiled looking at the scene. "We better hurry and get back to the group!" Ash said in realization. "Oh! You're right Ash!"
Serena exclaimed as they both hurried out the door with their own respective Pikachu perched on their shoulders.
"It's about time you to got back." Gary said slightly irritated at having to wait so long. "Ya! I thought you two might have gotten lost in a room or something." Shauna said
jokingly, causing Serena to turn a slight pink while the entire concept flew over Ash's head. "Oh my gosh look! How Cute!" Shauna screamed pointing at the two
Pikachu. everyone turned to look and noticed the nervous female pikchu on Serena's shoulder reaching her tail out to try to grab Ash's pikachu. Everyone got a kick out
of that, "I guess pokemon really are like their trainers." Shauna once again hinted Serena blushed. "Okay Pikachu(F) you need to get back in your pokeball for now. Don't
worry you'll be able to come back out and see everybody again later.' Serena said returning he pokemon."Alright, alright. Stop teasing them guys, lets head out now, I'm
getting hungry." Kalani said with a laugh. At that moment every ones stomachs began to growl and they all laughed before making way to their destination.
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Kalani called out as his mother appeared in the door. "Kal! You're home! She cried joyfully engulfing the boy in a hug. "Hey mom.. can you let
go so I can introduce you to my friends?" He went onto introduce his friends one by one before pushing Shauna up front to his mother and introducing her as his
girlfriend. "Oh my gosh, you are so pretty!" She squealed while looking at Shauna. "Ya, she is. Were going to find Dad!" Kalani said quickly grabbing Shauna's hand and
taking off out the back door. "That boy.. If he would set his priorities he would be the best trainer ever..." She mumbled" "What do you mean?" Serena asked. "Ya is
Kalani really that good of a trainer." Ash added, with a resounding response from Pikachu. "When Kalani graduated the pokemon School he was 11. He immediately took
off to take the Island Challenge, I was worried so I sent my husband's brother with him. Kalani's uncle is strong and wise, I knew he could take care of my son. Sure
enough, Kalani beat the Island Challenge in record time.. It was amazing to see how much he'd changed though. That brash and headstrong little kid was all of a sudden
the spitting image of his Uncle, personality wise at least. Then he told me he was going to be taking the Hoenn League on and I was so happy, He would be going to my
home and seeing my world. However, he insisted that his Uncle be the one to tag along and so I agreed… But it was while he was there that everything got… Difficult…
You see Kalani collected all eight gym badges, then his Uncle asked him what his purpose in doing all of this was. My son said that he wanted to prove Alolan battlers
were the best and that no other Region could compete. This led to a disagreement between the two.. Kalani told his Uncle to leave the Hoenn region. It broke their
relationship apart. Kalani managed to win the Hoenn League that year by himself. He challenged the elite four and defeated them one by one. Then he got to the
Champion. We watched online as Steven tore his team apart.. I don't know what happened after that.. but Kalani didn't come home after his loss. He didn't tell us
where he was going or anything.. He just told us he was going to find himself and that he would come home when he did…" She said as a tear began to form..
"Anyways why don't I make you kids some tea and malasadas." She said disappearing into the kitchen. Suddenly Kalani reemerged and Kalani was there with a peculiar
looking ape pokemon with a.. is that a coconut on its head.. ? "Come on out everyone and meet my Dad! Oh and Ash, it's time for our battle!" Kalani said with a look of
confidence.
Okay guy's so I'm trying to figure out what i want to do to differentiate between the two Pikachu. I can either A- keep specifying which one I'm talking about. B- Start typing Pikachu(M) or Pikachu(F) when they are together. Or C- find a nickname for Serenas. Any help would be appreciated! Feel free to comment potential nicknames for a female pikachu if you support that option.
