Sorry for grammar mistakes.

Aquacorde town

Two days have passed since their visit in Serena's hometown. The sun was barely up. The group headed out the door. Outside the front door of Serena's house were Serena on her feet, but only able to walk short distances, Ash, Bonnie and Clemont and inside the house was Grace. They were saying goodbye to Grace, their hostess, after their little detour.

"Bye mom." Serena said as she hugged her.

Shortly behind her, her there were her companions.

"See you soon and be careful, you're knee isn't fully healed yet. Also know, I'll be watching you're Master showcase on TV. Just now you have my support." Grace had said her farewells and then to the whole group said, "Now, please take care of my daughter, especially you Ash."

"Will do." The Raven haired boy replied.

The Whole group then address Grace, "Bye."

"Make sure you call time to time, Serena." Grace called out when they were at a distance.

They went down the road to Aquadore town, as grace saw them off until they were a speck in the distance and closed the door.

A half an Hour later, The group stopped at the side of the road to get some rest for Serena's injury. It wasn't long after they started walking again.

Aquacorde town, a great town with calm and clear waters. The group got there with ease. No problems at all. No trainer battles, no team rocket, no side distraction.

Getting to the the town, Serena and the other's decided to shopping. Well, the girls forced the guys to agree to that. It was still morning. The sky was bright blue and it was a relaxing day.

First stop was a perfume shop. A lady outside was giving out free spritz of perfume, which attracted the girls to going in there because it was a heavenly order.

Coming out they had boxes which all contained different bottles of the stuff. All were carried by Ash and Clemont. Even Pikachu was forced to carrying a box full of bottles.

The company then went to a clothes shop and coming out the guys load of bags and boxes. It even completely covered both of their faces.

"Please, Serena. Can't move anymore." Ash had said.

"No." Serena said. Smiling deviously.

"Aipom arms activate." Clemont activated his device to lessen their load. "This should lessen what we have to carry in our arms Ash."

"Thanks." Ash had thanked him.

About a half an hour later the group and their pokemon broke for lunch, in a restaurant.

"Hey Ash can we go to Shalour city instead," Serena asked.

Ash responded, "sure, but why?"

Clemont added to the conversation. "You can get a key stone from Korrina to mega evolve you Charizard."

"By the way, when is Charizard going to get here?" Bonnie said.

"I don't know." Ash answered. "I just have a feeling it's gonna be tommorow. Well, I'm going to the bathroom." Ash got up and left his stuff and his pokemon to the group.

After a few minutes Ash returned and saw them near a video phone. When returning, Ash heard a glimpse of the group's conversation. He heard Serena's voice say, "Don't let him find out."

"Don't let who find out?" Ash asked. He looked at the screen and it was black. The Serena hanged up on someone.

"um..." Clemont and Serena were toungue tied. From the two that was fidgeting Bonnie came to the rescue.

"We shouldn't let our dad find out that Clemont was asked out on a date by a pretty girl just now , but he rejected her.." Bonnie answered. "Let me repeat that." She emphasize her statement. "He rejected her!"

Ash was convinced.

"Come on, man." Ash said to Clemont. "You shouldn't be awkward with girls."

"Wha- you're taking Bonnie's side." Clemont responded.

"Me too," Serena added on.

"You guys are ganging up on me," Clemont complained. "Why?"

This topic went on for two hours.

"What do you guys wanna do now? I'm suggesting we could do more shopping." Serena said.

Quickly the Clemont and Ash quickly responded "No."

"I just want to go down the side river and relax for a bit." Ash answered. "After this long day I just want to rest. My arms are tired. I don't even want to train."

"Me too." Clemont added on.

"Fair enough." Serena responded. She diverted her attention to Bonnie. "You want to go sightseeing."

"Yes ma'am?" The little girl answered.

"So we're splitting up." Clemont wanted to clarify.

"Look's like it." Ash announced.

Rarely, the girls finished their meal first and went out to town.

"Bye sweetie." Serena kissed Ash's cheek before going out. "See you in a few hours."

After the girls left Clemont asked Ash, "How are you feeling."

"About what?" Ash questioned him.

"Other than the time with the Lucario thing, you haven't been seperated with Serena."

Ash responded, "I don't know what to feel or what I'm feeling now."

"Understandable, but why do you think she left you without hesitation."

"I don't know." Ash became curious, but not enough to get off this chair due to his tired body.

With Serena and Bonnie, as they were walking down the road.

"You got to work better on lying Serena." Bonnie said. "So does my brother."

The honey colored hair girl said "yeah, you're right."

"So how do feel being seperated with you boyfriend after a long time?" Bonnie asked.

"Well, I read somewhere, that for your relationship to grow you have to give your partner some space." Serena answered.

"That was so corny. Did you get that from a magazine or something?"

"Maybe." Serena said as her face became flushed because of embarrassment and as silently as she can that Bonnie could barely hear.

They went to as many stores as possible and went sightseeing.

After a couple of hours the girls had enough and started heading toward the river, where the guys said they would be. They cut across town. In the crowd someone accidently bumped into Serena.

"Watch where you're going." Serena commented. She then looked at him. It was a person a little taller than Serena. He had a lab coat on with mahogany hair. She only got a glimpse of him from the back. He was familiar to her for some reason.

"I'm sorry miss, I'm already late." The person responded. He went off quickly and disappeared in the crowd.

"That was rude." Bonnie said.

"Let's just go to Ash and Clemont." Serena suggested.

They met up with the guys a few moments later, they were laying down on a shade of a tree.

"What's up." Ash said as the girls came closure to them.

"Nothing, much." Serena answered. "How 'bout you guys?"

"Nothing much. Team rocket came, blasted off away. The same old same old." Clemont had answered. "We also tried to talk to Ash's Noivern, but failed."

"Maybe we'll have better luck when Charizard comes here." Ash added on.

Serena and Bonnie joined the boys relaxing. They took a place in the grass and took a nap and of course Serena took the spot closes to Ash.
