This is the next chapter. Enjoy 😄

Sorry for Grammer errors.

Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon. If I did I would have Serena confess already to Ash.

Chapter 14: The Reveal

As Ash held up the Charizardite Y stone, the siblings looked at it with Awe.

After moments of silence and staring at the ball shaped stone, Clemont finally said something. "Ash, Isn't that a mega stone."

"Yup," Ash replied.

"For what pokemon is that?" Bonnie asked.

"It's for my Charizard," Ash answered, as he put it back in his pocket.

"You have a Charizard?" The siblings questioned the Raven haired.

"Yup, It's at proffesor Oak's lab," Ash replied.

"Guys lets keep going ok." Ash suggested as he picked up Serena with one arm under her legs and the other supporting her back.

Serena's face still blushed even after the many times she got held by him. It never got old to her. She liked being carried like this. Serena liked how she got swept off the ground... Especially by him.

They then went on the continued on the road. They stopped a couple times to give Clemont some rest, but in a few hours they made it into a cliff.

Below it, was a Forrest and from afar, you could see Vanville town, Serena's hometown.

"Did we take a wrong turn somewhere," Clemont asked.

"Well... No," Serena said checking her MapNav. "If we go straight, we can get to Vanville town in just a couple of hours."

"How are we gonna get down?" Bonnie asked.

No one knew and no one replied. They all just shrugged.

"Let's make camp for now," Serena suggested. "We'll think about it tomorrow."

"Yeah, okay, The sun is setting right now anyway." Ash agreed. "I'll set up the tents."

"I'll help you," Clemont said.

"Who's going to cook the food?" Serena asked. "Do you want me to do it?"

"No, just rest," Clemont answered. "Bonnie will do it."

"Bonnie?" SatoSere asked.

"Yeah, She's pretty good," Clemont said. "She even cooked breakfast this morning."

"Okay then," The Raven haired trainer replied. "But, you better cook alot. Me and Serena kind of forgot about Lunch."

"Sure thing," Bonnie responded.

"Lets go," Ash said.

Clemont then set up the retractable table and chairs. After that, Ash placed Serena on a chair so she could rest. When that was done, Bonnie gave a passed out Pikachu to Serena, so the pokemon wouldn't get in the way of her cooking. Then the guys set up the tents and Bonnie went to cook.

While setting up the tent.

"Hey Ash," Clemont said.

"What's up?" Ash asked.

"Are you and Serena dating?" Clemont asked casually.

"Whaa!" Ash exclaimed.

"Don't try to hide it," Clemont said. "You guys seemed closer the past few days."

"Were we that obvious?" Ash asked.

"To me Yes. If it were you in my position, you would probably wouldn't not notice."

"Does Bonnie know?" Ash asked.

"Nope," Clemont answered, thinking back to their talk while searching for their friends.

Flashback~

"Hey Bonnie did you find them?" Clemont asked her sister as they met up from separate searches.

"No," Bonnie answered.

"I'm worried," Clemont said.

"Dont worry," Bonnie replied, "Serena probably already found him and are probably just enjoying their alone time right now. They are so obvious."

"Yup," Clemont agreed. "You know what?"

"What?" Bonnie asked.

"I'm gonna ask them if they're dating."

"Why?" Bonnie questioned him, "you're going to ruin my fun."

"Ok, then Find something else to do in this journey," Clemont replied.

"What if I stop asking girls to marry you for a week," Bonnie bargained. "Don't let them know I know."

"You got yourself a deal," The inventor said as he shook on it with her sister.

FlashBack End.

"So Bonnie doesn't know," Ash repeated.

"She doesn't know," Clemont replied.

"Okay, Then I think we are done setting up the tents," Ash said.

"Yeah we are." Clemont doing the last few touches on the structure of the tent.

"I'm gonna help Bonnie with cooking," Clemont said walking away.

"I'll go to Serena," Ash announced.

"Bye," Clemont said while walking away.

"Okay," Ash shouted so Clemont could hear from afar.

Ash headed towards Serena. At first sight upon her, he quickly felt his heart beating faster. In his eyes, she was the most Beautiful girl in the world.

Serena was just grooming a still sleeping Pikachu in her lap the whole time. That was when Ash approached her.

"Hey Serena," Ash said walking towards her.

"Hey Ash," she replied.

"Is your knee better?" Ash asked.

"No," She answered. "It hurts."

"Don't worry I'll cast a spell on it." Ash said playfully.

Ash, as if he were casting a spell, made hand gestures around her knee and said the phrase that he said during their first meeting, "feel better, feel better right away."

"That's so sweet. You remembered it!" Serena exclaimed.

"Well not right away," Ash replied, scratching the back of his head, "Sorry."

"I already forgiven you," Serena mentioned.

"Well I still feel guilty," Ash remarked.

"Don't be." Serena hugged her boyfriend.

"What's up lovebirds," Bonnie said, from behind Ash suprising the happy couple.

They quickly pulled back, from their hug and their face reddened.

"H-how long have you been there," Serena stammered.

"Just got here," Bonnie replied. "I'm here to put the food on the table." The couple then took notice of the big pot of food.

"Isn't that what we had two nights ago," Ash remarked.

"Yup," Bonnie said putting the pot on the table. "Brother finnally gave me the recipe."

Clemont then arrived with Bowls utensils. "She instead of making it."

"Hey guys," He announced as he walked over to them. Serena, Bonnie and Ash greeted him back and helped Clemont set the table.

After doing that, Ash suggested to feed the pokemon now.

All agreed and everybody released their pokemon from their pokeballs. The only pokemon they didn't release is Noivern. It was Clemont's idea not to release him yet after what happened.

They all ate Dinner. The Pokemon on the floor and the people at the table.

"This is really great Bonnie," Ash commented as he ate at a incredibly fast rate.

"Yeah, Bonnie," Serena said. Like Ash, Serena forgot to eat Lunch so she ate a little bit faster than normal.

"Looks like you guys have the same taste." Bonnie replied. "Another reason why you guys are perfect for each other."

Upon hearing this, they almost choked due to the shock they got from Bonnie's words. *cough*

"Water?" Clemont offered handing each of them a water bottle.

"T-thanks," they both said as they accepted it. They then gulped it down.

"Um..." Ash said changing, the topic, "Since I got a mega stone, instead of going to Lavvere city, can we go to Shalour city. I could get a key stone from Korrina's grandfather and there's still a beach there if you guys still want to have a beach day."

"Sure." The group agreed. finishing their meal, they returned all of their pokemon, except Pikachu, who was in Ash's shoulder.

After that they released Noivern. It had no strenght and was very hungry. It behaved, but relunctantly. It ate very slowly, keeping one eye on the humans. Clearly not trusting them. When finishing, The dragon type Pokemon tried to escape.

At the last moment, Ash returned him to its pokeball. "Why Noivern."

"It will take some time." Clemont said, "for you guys to restart your bond."

"Yeah," Serena added to the conversation.

"Let's just get some sleep," Bonnie suggested.

One by one they had a shower. Serena was first. The group helped her in and left her with her business. While she did, the rest of the group did the dishes and packed the table.

After finishing up her shower, she quickly dress inside Clemont's invention and called out to her friends. The three friends helped her get out and quickly placed her in one of the chairs. She was given a sleeping Pikachu to groom so she wouldn't get bored.

After everyone was done, Clemont packd up his portable shower and the group met up outside their tents, With Serena being carried by Ash bridal style.

"Ok I'm just gonna put Serena in your tent now," Ash said as he was going towards Bonnie's tent. He was completely stopped by Bonnie's hand.

"Wait," Bonnie demanded. "I think Serena should sleep next to Ash."

"W-what!" Ash and Serena exclaimed as both blushed furiously.

"I think Serena wants to be with Ash tonight," Bonnie said with a sly grin.

"W-well... I... Uh-," Serena stammered.

"Plus, you guys already slept next to each other the whole time we went on the road from Snowbelle city," Bonnie interrupted. "I think Serena feels more comfortable around you.

"I... uh...," Serena said as the couple realize that they were together every night for the last five days.

"Clemont let's go to sleep," Bonnie ordered his brother as she went in her tent.

"Comming," Clemont replied as he grabbed his sleeping bag from the other tent.

The inventor, then faced the couple. "Guys, a word of advice, just tell Bonnie already." After that he left them and followed his sister in the tent and zipped it up, leaving Serena confused.

After him leaving Serena asked Ash a question. "What was that?"

"Did I not mention it to you," Ash responded, casually, "He already knows we are dating."

"You are so forgetful, Ash Ketchum," Serena said.

"Well, there is one thing I will never forget," Ash replied.

"What's that?"

"You, ever again." Ash answered. She blushed after hearing his answer.

They quickly went inside their tent. They put the sleeping Pikachu off to side of the tent.

Then Serena realized something. "Ash I accidently left my sleeping bag in The other tent."

In the other tent Bonnie was arguing with her brother.

"Bonnie you should give Serena her sleeping bag," Clemont said.

"Fine, If she sent Ash to get it then I'll give it to her, but if she doesn't pass by it stays here," Bonnie replied.

"Why do you want to keep it here anyway," Clemont asked.

"Because, I want them to get closer, literally. Serena will have no choice but to share a sleeping bag with Ash. Also I want to use it as a pillow," Bonnie answered.

"Fine, if they won't show up to get it, then we won't give it."

Back at Serena and Ash's tent.

"If you want I'll get it," Ash offered.

"No, They're probably Asleep right now," Serena declined. "I wouldn't want to disturb them.

"You can have mine then," Ash offered.

"Um... No," Serena replied.

"Then, what do you wanna do about this?" Ash asked.

"Uh... W-we could... Um share it." Serena suggested, nervously blushing.

"Okay," Ash agreed, slightly nervous.

They got in. It was kind of tight, but they both liked the closeness. Ash's arms were wrapped around Serena's waist and Serena's head was on Ash's chest.

"Good night," Ash said.

"Good night to you too," She relies as she gave him a quick peck on the check and then quickly fell asleep with her head resting at his chest.

Just before Dawn, Ash woke up. He then noticed Serena next to him and remembered what happened last night.

He then got out of the sleeping bag, very cautiously. Trying very hard not to wake up Serena. It didn't work.

Just before his foot got out Serena grabbed onto his ankle.

"Where you going?" Serena asked.

"I'm gonna watch the sunrise," Ash replied. "I sometimes do when I wake up early. You wanna come with."

"Ok," She responded removing her hand from him. "Could you carry me. My Knee still pretty hurts."

"For you," Ash said, "anything."

Now at the edge of the cliff. Serena casually slipped her into Ash's hand. She then rested her head in his shoulders. Everything was perfect for her.

They gazed upon The horizon. Few minutes later a bright light was coming out of it. It slowly engulf the land with its light. The sun, the source of this light, quickly ascended to the sky.

"It's beautiful," Serena remarked.

"Not as beautiful as you," Ash replied. Their eyes met.

They continued to look into each other's eyes and they leaned in closer, their lips touched. For what seemed like an eternity a second.

After pulling back they, Ash got up and helped Serena back into tent. After giving her some privacy to change, he too change outside.

Serena then cooked breakfast for everyone, with assistance from Ash. While they were doing that, the siblings and Pikachu woke up. Clemont took over the cooking so Serena could rest her knee, while Bonnie and Ash Set up the table and chairs.

"Did Serena sleep well?" Bonnie said with a sly expression. "Especially that close to you."

"What do you mean," Ash replied, with a slight blush appearing on his face.

"you know," Bonnie responded, "Since I had Serena's sleeping bag, I assume you guys shared one."

"Um..." The Raven haired trainer responded. "yeah, she slept well."

"You guys loved every minute of it."

"Uhhh."

"Did you guys make out."

"N-no."

"Come on don't lie to me."

"Okay we're done setting up the tables, I'm gonna head towards Serena," Ash said, trying to get away from this awkwardness, only to fail because Bonnie decided to tag along.

Bonnie kept teasing the two even when Serena was there and even asthey kept eating with Clemont their at the group. Ash and Serena pondered on Clemont's words last night and announced, "We're dating," To the whole group, except Noivern for obvious reasons.

"I knew it," Bonnie remarked. "So how did you guys get together."

"Well it was like this," They told their story. (Go to chapter 6 and 7 to see how they got together)

"That's so cute," Bonnie voiced her opinion

"I agree." Clemont agreed with her sister.

"Thanks," the couple answered in unision.

"So when are you guys gonna get married," Bonnie blurted out.

There faces turned Crimson and almost choked on their food a second time. *cough*

"W-we are to young to think of that," Ash replied. While Serena sat there quietly, daydreaming about their fated day.

"If you say so," Bonnie said.

The group finish eating and returned all their pokemon to their pokeballs, except Pikachu.

Ash then released Noivern. It went smoothly. The dragon type pokemon, didn't try to leave, but still kept an eye out of the humans. The Pokemon, after finishing eating. Was returned.

They packed up everything, cleaned the dishes and tried to solve how to get down.

"Hey guys," Clemont said, "I think we could use my Aipom arm to get down. I think it's long enough to get down, but one of us has to stay here and hold my backpack.

"I'll do it." Ash volunteered.

"But, how will you get down?" Serena asked.

"I could the backpack down and then guys use it to get me down." He answered.

First Clemont got down the mountainside, to test if his invention was long enough to reach the bottom. It wasn't. There was four feet left.

The arm let go and made him fall to the ground.

"Oww," he said as he fell.

Now it was Serena's turn. When she got dropped Clemont caught her to cushion the that, Bonnie went down with Pikachu. Then lastly it was Ash's turn.

He dropped down the backpack onto the ground. When it did, it got damaged.

"Ash," Clemont Shouted, "Um... The machine broke."

"No biggie," Ash shouted back, "I'll climb down."

"Be careful," Serena shouted.

"Okay," Ash replied, "I will."

He Climb down in cation. Careful getting his footing correct every step. The group When he reach He reach the ground with out any casualties. The group of friends let out a sigh of relief.

"Grant's rock climbing wall was harder to climb," Ash commented. (Referring to episode xy:25 in the anime)

"Here, please take her," Clemont said struggling to lift Serena and trying to hand her to Ash. "She's heavy."

Serena, upon hearing that comment, took offense and smacked him in the head really hard.

"Oww," Clemont said upon contact with Serena's hand.

Ash then got Serena from Clemont and saying, "You shouldn't have said that."

"I'm sorry Serena," Clemont apologized, but she just ignored him.

"Come on, He's just incredibly weak Serena," Bonnie stated.

"Yeah, I guess that's true, Bonnie," Serena replied. "Fine you are forgiven."

"Thanks Bonnie... I guess," Clemont said.

They then continued their journey in the woods.

Until Next time. Review, comment or whatever. 😄
