TDBigJ's message: Hey guys! It's good to be back with another chapter. I think you'll like this one. This chapter probably will have the most amourshipping up to this point, at least that's what I think. Seeing you guys reading and reviewing my chapters makes my day. I guess this would be a good career path for me. I love being creative and that's one of the reasons I love writing. Entertaining you guys is another reason. This is a big part of my life and is a good stepping stone to starting my career. For the last week, eh, just the same. Writing this, playing Xbox, searching for a job. Don't be afraid when it comes to me searching for a job. When I do get a job that is not going to tear me away from this, oh heavens no! I mean, chapter updates probably wouldn't be weekly but I promise that when that comes around it will be right when a chapter finishes, that I guarantee you! So, with my weekly update here, let's get to the responding of reviews. Do whatever you want with them, I'm easy.
Jack (Guest #1): Maybe. Those two could be possibilities. I'll think about it. A one-shot about those two, I'm iffy on it but it's not definite I'll say no. Thanks for the review!
49ers (Guest #2, to both reviews): I'll make sure it happens and those will be considered. Thanks for the review!
Espeon44: Are they dating? Well, you'll see it that's true. I will try to add new characters. If you have another OC, by then golly, go ahead. I'm all for it! Thanks for the review!
Bryce (Guest #3): I will consider putting those things in. Thanks for the review!
Klay (Guest #4): It might happen. Thanks for the review!
Wolves22 (Guest #5): Glad you liked the chapter! Thanks for the review!
Jaguars5 (Guest #6): On occasions she will. Since they already have girlfriends, they won't dance with each other. Thanks for the review!
Rams30 (Guest #7): Yes. That was an idea I planned for a future chapter, but the guys and girls will be separated doing their own things. Thanks for the review!
Raiders89 (Guest #8): Every couple could have trouble at some point in the story. Thanks for the review!

Warriors30 (Guest #10): Don't worry, you will see Selina. Clemont won't be scared of Ally. Ally isn't that type of character. That most likely will happen. Thanks for the review!
Thunder35 (Guest #11): Dawn could end up meeting them. Thanks for hoping to see me improve, I hope I won't let you guys down. I don't think she would let me own them, I don't want to bother her with that. I'm not sure if I will add him to this story but it could happen. That probably won't happen. Thanks for the review!
Cavaliers23 (Guest #12): That could happen, I'm not quite sure yet. Yes, that might happen. I wouldn't date them in a three way relationship, it'd be pretty weird. Thanks for the review!
Angels27 (Guest #13): I will consider reading that story. That could happen in this story. Thanks for the review!
Mad Ass Dragon: Oh boy, I don't want to send you back to the grave. I want to keep you in your current state. Don't die on me again, please. I couldn't live with myself. Oh, there is one thing I want to run by you. Remember you gave me an OC in the last story, well, I was thinking about putting him within the next few chapters, if it's okay with you. Thanks for the review!
Royals13 (Guest #14): Maybe. That OC, I might give it a shot. Thanks for the review!
Guest #15: Yep. I have high hopes for amourshipping. I just think that the couple has a better chance of happening than any other couple. I'm pretty sure some people would disagree with me, but that's just my opinion. Thanks for the continued support and the review!
Brig nodrm2347: Glad you liked the chapter! I thought them visiting Brock would be a good idea for a chaper. Paul and Miette messing with Ash and Serena's night? To be honest, that would be too predictable and I don't like being predictable. And Ash's battle with Wulfric, I haven't seen that episode yet, I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for the review!
Hoot (Guest #16): That probably won't happen. Thanks for the review!

Raptors10 (Guest #20): I will consider it. Thanks for the review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or it's characters, they belong to Game Freak and Nintendo, and… whoever else.
It was the end of October, and that meant one of three things, that the first school dance of the year was here, known as homecoming. Every student was excited for it and happy that one good thing was near the beginning of the school year. They had made plans for it for the past week, whether it was finding a date, getting an outfit, or getting all their friends together for it, if they were going with their friends that is.
Serena was twirling around in the mirror, making sure her dress looked okay on her. She thought she would switch it up a little from last year at prom. She wore a black short sleeved dress that had a magenta ribbon around the waist. She had no doubt that Ash would like it. She didn't want to get ahead of herself but she was one hundred percent sure Ash would think it looked beautiful on her. She had a feeling that he would dress up in the same tux he wore last year as it was his dad's and he wanted that to be a regular thing. Plus, she thought he looked rather dashing in it.
"What do you think, Fennekin? Too flashy?" Serena asked her Pokemon.
"Fenne." Fennekin replied, shaking her head.
"I just hope Ash likes it. I took a lot of time picking this out. I don't want it to be a waste."
"I think Ash will think you look fine." A voice said from the doorway.
Serena looked at her mom. "I sure hope so."
"Come on honey, he's your boyfriend, he'll probably think it looks nothing short of great on you." Grace said.
Serena smiled. "You're right mom. Let's hope for the best."
"Okay. By the way, he just called, he will be here in fifteen minutes, so be ready by then."
"All right mom."
As soon as her mom left the room to return downstairs, with that warning, Serena finished making herself look presentable for the dance. She grabbed a pair of earrings that were on her dresser and put them in her ears. She then put on a necklace that her mom let her borrow for the night. She didn't have any of her own so her mom out of insistence let her use it for tonight. It was a circle that looked to be like a small case that had loose diamonds on the inside. Serena liked it. It wasn't the best one her mom had but it seemed to compliment her dress nicely and that was all she cared about. She didn't even bother to put makeup on. She actually never really wore it so what was the use? She tried it once and didn't really care for it. Besides, Ash thought she looked better without it, which was one of the nicest comments that he had ever given her, which meant so much to her. Most girls usually looked horrendous without makeup, but to Ash, she could pull it off well, and that means something.
When it came to Ash making himself look spiffy, she thought that he didn't really need to do that. Ash looked cute no matter what he looked like, at least in her opinion. Well, who else's opinion really mattered? Ash could have the worst bed head and still look handsome, he could be wearing the most wrinkled clothes and still look handsome, he could be wearing nothing but his boxers and-
After that last thought, Serena slapped herself upon the side of the head with the palm of her hand.
"Come on, Serena, don't think like that. Yes he may be your boyfriend but don't get carried away. You don't want your hormones to start raging. Remember what mom always says: I'm not ready to be a grandmother yet. So take that into account." Serena thought to herself.
But then she thought of something else, why was she scolding herself? To this extent? She's a human being. She has desires like everyone else. She then had to take a deep breath and recollect herself and think this through again.
"Okay, I don't want to go overboard. I've got to keep it under control. Ease it down, Serena, act like a lady." She continued to think to herself.
Fennekin looked at her trainer. She seemed to be going through a lot of stress at the moment. What was causing it? Was she nervous about homecoming? Did she forget how to dance with Ash? Since it's been so long since they've danced that she's a little nervous to do it again now that they're in a relationship?
Serena sat down on her bed, put her hands on her knees, and looked down at her feet. Fennekin took this opportunity to help comfort her friend and jumped up onto the bed. Serena saw her and grabbed Fennekin with both arms and put her into her lap and started slowly stroking her head.
"Fennekin, I just realized. This will be the first dance I will have with Ash since we became a couple. Now that I will be dancing with him again tonight, I'm a little shaky about it. What if I screw up while I'm dancing with him? You think he'll care?" Serena asked, still looking at the floor while also still petting Fennekin.
Fennekin looked up at Serena and shook her head. Serena took a deep breath and picked Fennekin up and put her in the air so she was looking Fennekin right in the eyes.
"Fennekin, I'm really happy I'm with Ash now, but I still feel a little nervous around him. I mean, not as much as I was before, but a little bit. Will he think differently of me if he notices that? I just wonder if he is the same way." Serena said. Fennekin then gave Serena a serious look. Serena noticed it and wondered why Fennekin was looking at her like that? She didn't look angry but it seemed she was trying to get a point across to her. Serena then realized what Fennekin was trying to tell her.
"I see what you're trying to do Fennekin. I shouldn't be worried. Even if I am, Ash is not one to judge me like that. I know he won't think any less of me. And if he feels the same way, I won't think any less of him." Serena said, a smile crossing her lips.
Fennekin's expression then turned into a happy one as her trainer now took knowledge of what she was doing. She jumped down from Serena's hands and laid back down in her lap. Serena looked down at her Pokemon and smiled, and returned to petting her head.
Man, even Pokemon know how to deal with these feelings.
Meanwhile, over at Ash's house, he was finishing up preparing himself for homecoming. He was wearing the same tux he wore at prom last year: the one that belonged to his dad when he was younger. He had already called Serena's mom to tell her he'd be over there to meet Serena shortly. His mom thought she would add a red corsage to the top of his jacket to add a little more "pizzaz" as she called it to his appearance. Just like last year, he got a corsage for Serena as well. It looked just like his but pink. Pink was one the colors that looked the best on her, in his opinion. He had combed his spikes a little bit and put some gel in it to give it some style. His hair looked the same but had a few minor tweaks with him sprucing it up. Delia looked at her son, and awed at how he looked.
"That tux still looks great on you."
"Well, mom, I've only worn it once." Ash responded.
"It makes you look like a grown man, which I bet Serena wants to see you as." Delia commented.
"I'm pretty sure she wouldn't mind. You know how Serena is when it comes to looks." Ash stated.
"Yeah, I know. But even every girl wants to see her boyfriend become a man at one point."
Ash blushed a little at that statement. "Okay mom, we don't need to go too high like that."
"I'm just saying honey, no matter what the girl's personality is, she likes to see her man be like a man, emotionally, mentally, and physically." Delia explained.
"All right mom, I think I get the point." Ash remarked, trying to shove this conversation to the side.
"Okay, I think I will go over and meet Serena. She's probably waiting for me by now." Ash said and started making his way out of the house, but Delia stopped him with one request.
"Make sure you two take a good picture for me while you're there."
Ash should've seen this coming. "Will do mom. I won't forget." He said and left the house, motioning Pikachu to come with him and closing the door behind him.
For the past ten minutes, Serena had continued to sit on her bed, pondering over what might happen tonight. She didn't know how she felt. Was she excited or nervous? Was she ecstatic or scared? Which one could it be? She just couldn't figure it out.
But she realized that she should have nothing to fear. She knew Ash wouldn't want her to be this way tonight. Since the day she first met him, she learned these types of things from him. He always told her to never show her negative emotions on a constant basis, even in important situations like this. She took a few deep breaths to chill herself down. This helped a little, but some of that fear still resided in her, but she knew she had to be strong, another thing she learned from Ash. She mostly saw Ash in this kind of state so she tried to learn to do it the best way she could.
She got up and took a pink ribbon and scissors from the top of her dresser and sat back down on the bed. She cut a long enough piece off and started tying it around Fennekin's neck. Since Pokemon were allowed at dances she thought she would take Fennekin to this one since she didn't do it at prom last year. Ash had already told her he was bringing Pikachu so she thought she would follow suit. Within a minute she had tied it the way she thought looked best on Fennekin. She picked up Fennekin the same way she did earlier to get a better look at her. It looked great! Fennekin couldn't have looked more adorable.
All of a sudden, she heard the doorbell ring. "Oh man, Ash must be here. Come on Fennekin. Let's go."
She turned the light off and closed the door behind her and walked down the stairs. Once she got down there, she looked to the left and saw Ash talking to her mother.
"Okay, I'm ready." She said, catching her mom's and Ash's attention. Ash walked up to her. Serena was a little nervous still.
"Ash, do I look okay?" She asked.
Ash just looked at her and smiled. "I think you look gorgeous."
Serena blushed. "Thanks. And you look very handsome yourself."
"Thank you. But I'm wearing the same thing I did last year though."
"Ash, it doesn't matter to me what you wear. You would look handsome in anything." Serena commented.
Ash chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Aw, thanks, but that probably isn't true."
"Come on, I'm serious."
Ash put his left hand on her shoulder. He then took the corsage out of the box and put it on the top left of her dress. Ash giggled, which caught Serena's attention.
"What are you laughing about?"
"You can definitely pull that look of well." He answered.
Serena giggled as well. "Are we going to stand here and complement each other, or are we going to get to the dance?"
"Oh, uh, right. Let's go."
The two locked hands as they walked out the door, but before Grace made a request.
"Make sure you two take a nice picture together."
"Okay mom." Serena responded and they walked out the door.
"Hey, my mom said the same thing before I left."
"I guess our mom's think alike."
Once they reached the halfway point, Serena started feeling a little cold. She cuffed both arms with her hands and shivered. Ash noticed that she looked like she was starting to feel chilly.
"Serena, you okay? You look really cold." Ash said.
"It's a bit frosty outside, so it's starting to hit me." Serena replied.
Ash couldn't let her be like this the rest of the way, so he took off his jacket and put it on her to warm her up a bit.
"Here, wear this. You should feel a little warmer." Ash insisted.
"Thanks Ash." She responded.
To help her out a little more, Ash took his right arm and pulled her up onto him, just so his body heat could add to the warmth of the jacket.
"Stay close. Maybe it could help you a bit." He stated.
Serena snuggled up onto him, nuzzling her head into his shoulder, smiling as she did so. He really was a thoughtful individual wasn't he?
Serena looked down at their two Pokemon. They looked fit for the dance. Fennekin had her ribbon that she put on her and Pikachu had a black bow tie that Ash had put on him. Serena thought Pikachu looked really cute with the bow tie, even proving that Pokemon can be classy.
About ten minutes later they reached the gymnasium that was holding homecoming. It was already getting a lot of people. Ash got a text from Dawn that her and Ally were there, and a text from May stating that her and Shadow were there as well, along with their Pokemon. Ash and Serena instructed Pikachu and Fennekin to go do whatever they wanted but to meet back with them once the dance ended. After being told that, the two Pokemon ran off in separate directions. Ash and Serena had seen the table that Dawn and Ally were sitting at and went over to it and sat down.
"Looks like you guys made it." May remarked.
"Have you seen any of the others yet?" Dawn asked.
"Not that I know of." Ash answered. "Did you guys bring any of your Pokemon with you?"
"Yeah, I brought Buneary with me. She really wanted to come. Piplup was pretty happy for it to so I brought him." Dawn answered.
"I brought along Skitty. She seemed pretty ecstatic to come to a dance so I let her come." May answered.
"Pikachu hasn't really been to a dance in a while, so he might have to get used to this again." Ash explained.
"Where is the little guy?" Dawn asked.
"He went off to do his own thing. I told him it would be fine as long as he checked in every so often just to know he's okay." Ash responded.
"I did the same with Buneary. I'm wondering where she is." Dawn stated.
Meanwhile, Pikachu was off, trying to find any of his Pokemon friends that he knew. Due to most of Ash's friends having not shown up yet, he didn't really have that much luck. Suddenly, he saw a familiar face, one that he travelled with in Sinnoh: Buneary. Pikachu ran up to her and tried to get her attention.
"Pika pika." He said, waving his arm in front of him. Buneary turned around and saw Pikachu there. She then started acting nervous when she saw Pikachu and tried to gain her posture. Since she had a crush on Pikachu, she got Butterfrees in her stomach every time she saw him, like when Serena did when she first met Ash.
Buneary blushed. "Buneary." She said, putting one arm around her back and waving the other.
"Pika pi, Pikachu?" Pikachu said, asking how she's been lately.
"Bun bun Buneary." She replied, telling her that she's been great.
"Pika pi?" Pikachu asked, wondering if she'd like to come along with him.
"Buneary!" Buneary shouted, agreeing with him. Realizing how quickly and loudly she replied, she covered her mouth and eyes widened. Pikachu knew what to do in this situation. He went up to her, put his arm around her back and gently started pushing her to come along. As they started walking, Buneary felt queasy, being around her crush was not easy, especially if he was being this nice, but she kept her cool and came along with him anyway. They walked to the table their trainers were sitting at and hopped up onto the table.
"Aww, Pikachu found Buneary. And he looks so cute, wearing a bow tie." Ally commented.
"Do you want to know why Buneary is with Pikachu?" Dawn asked Ally.
"Why?"
Dawn went up to Ally's ear and whispered something to her. "My Buneary has a crush on Pikachu."
Ally gasped. She was surprised that even one of Ash's Pokemon had a female Pokemon that had a crush on him. That was surprising.
So the night progressed and after an hour into the dance, Ash and Serena still didn't have their first dance of the night. The rest of their friends did and most of them had it when they got there. Why didn't they have theirs yet? They were still sitting at the table, with only Clemont and Shauna sitting with them as everyone else was out on the dance floor. Clemont had to go use the men's room and left the table. Shauna was eager to tell Ash and Serena something, so right when Clemont was out of earshot, she leaned over to them.
"Can I tell you guys something?"
They both looked at her. "Sure Shauna, what is it?" Ash asked.
"It's nice to see all of you guys in a relationship. But so far Clemont and I are the only ones that aren't officially a couple yet. I really like him but I'm a little nervous to ask him, but I'm going to be strong. I was thinking maybe… of asking him out." Shauna explained.
"Are you completely sure you want to do that?" Ash asked.
"I'm sure. I don't want us to be just friends anymore, I think I'm ready." She added.
"You know what Shauna, I say you go for it." Serena exclaimed.
"Okay. By the end of the night, I'm going to ask him. I just hope being nervous doesn't hinder me."
"Hey Shauna, don't worry, I think if anyone is going to be nervous, it will be Clemont." Ash added. The three of laughed at the statement.
"I just hope it won't be too much on him." Shauna stated. Immediately, Clemont returned to the trio.
"What are you guys talking about?" Clemont asked.
"Nothing in particular." Shauna answered.
A little bit later, Ash and Serena thought that they should finally get out on the dance floor. Ash got up from his seat and offered his hand to her.
"Serena, would you like to dance?"
"Yes Ash, I would love to." Serena responded, taking Ash's hand and standing up.
The two got out on the dance floor to start their first dance of the night. Ash having remembered what Dawn taught him before prom last year, kept his nerves calm, and put his hand around Serena's waist while she put her arms around his neck. Ash took a deep breath and the two started swaying side to side.
After about a minute, Serena thought she would break the silence between the two of them. "Looks like you remembered what to do."
"Yeah, I haven't really forgotten. I mean, we had our first dance here at prom last year and just because of that I didn't let Dawn's teaching go to waste. I wouldn't want to forget to do this, this is what got us together, right?"
"Right. That was the best night of my life, and I'm hoping this one will fit right up there." She commented.
"Me too. Let's not let anything ruin this night." Ash stated.
"I agree."
The two continued to sway with their dance. Serena put her head and right hand on Ash's chest, remembering she did that on prom night last year. There was no doubt she wanted to make this memory as good as the last, and she didn't know that Ash was thinking the same thing. She saw a few of her friends dancing with each other just like last time. They each looked happy, the same as her and Ash.
After a couple more dances they thought they would take a break. They parted with each other for the meantime since they had something different to do. When Serena walked back to her table, she was stopped by a familiar figure, someone who hadn't really approached her a lot this year, due to obvious reasons, but she didn't look upset, which was odd. That person, you guessed it, happened to be Miette.
"Miette, what do you want?" Serena thought to herself.
"Hey Serena, how has your night been with Ash?" Miette asked.
Meanwhile, Ash was walking towards the men's room, when he too was stopped by a familiar figure. Someone he'd rather not see, and also, because of obvious reasons. It was Paul.
"Paul, what do you want?" Ash thought to himself.
"So Ketchum, what have you been up to lately?" Paul asked.
Over with Serena and Miette, Serena was just looking at Miette with an unsure expression.
"My night with Ash has been great. Why?"
"I just want to see how happy you guys make each other. See what's going on."
"Well, we're really happy being together. I'm thrilled I'm with him." Serena added.
"I know you are, and believe it or not, I'm happy for you guys." Miette stated.
Serena then looked confused. "Huh?"
"I know you got Ash before I did, but I don't want to be a sore loser. I'm glad he makes you happy, and I wish you two the best."
Serena had a look of disbelief and surprise. She didn't expect Miette to be like this since she was in a relationship with Ash, but if she was being nice about it, she guessed she wouldn't be negative about it.
"Okay, well, thanks Miette." Serena said.
Miette smiled. "No problem." Then her smile turned into a smirk. "Besides, I have a boyfriend now myself."
"You do?"
"Yep. You'll be seeing him around school so you'll find out who he is." Miette answered then walked away.
Serena was surprised this encounter with Miette was not a downside. Miette actually accepting defeat and appreciating her being with Ash. Maybe Miette wasn't bad after all.
Meanwhile, with Ash and Paul, Paul just greeted Ash out of the blue. Ash wasn't looking forward to this conversation, but decided to go through with it anyway.
"I'm been fine Paul, you?"
"Just fine. I just wanted to let you know I saw how you did in the Pokemon League this past summer."
Ash had a feeling Paul was going to make some smart ass comment that Ash was still weak, so he prepared himself for the worst.
"Yeah, what about it?" Ash asked.
"I'd never thought I would say this, but you're improving." Paul replied.
Ash raised an eyebrow. "Say what?"
"I didn't really feel comfortable saying it, but I have to admit, you're getting a little better." Paul added.
"I have a hard time believing you, but go on." Ash stated.
"Even though you made it to the final four which is the tied best you've done since you were in the Sinnoh League. But I thought that you did better in your final battle than in Sinnoh that I'm saying you're getting some skill." Paul explained.
Just like Serena, Ash had a look of disbelief and surprise. He didn't expect Paul of all people to be saying this to him, but since he was, he was a little relieved.
"Um, okay, thanks Paul." Ash said, a little unsure if Paul really meant it.
"But just so you know, I'll be travelling in another region next summer. It's called the Alola region and I'm pretty sure you're going to be travelling there too, so I'll be seeing you there. Whenever I see you be ready, I'll still give you a fight, and I want to see how well you have improved." Paul explained.
Ash smiled after what Paul said. "You bet. Just wait for this summer, I won't go easy on you."
Paul turned around, closed his eyes, and smiled. "I won't either. Count on it." After that he walked away.
After both of their encounters with their rivals, Ash and Serena went to find each other so they could continue dancing. Within a minute they found each other.
"Hey, up for another dance?" Ash asked.
"I'd love nothing more." Serena responded. And the two went back on the dance floor and spent the rest of the night in each other's arms.
Later on, after homecoming ended, and the two started heading home. When they came close to their homes, Serena started feeling a little tired and her eyelids started feeling heavy. She opened and closed them many times but she couldn't stay awake and succumbed to her tiredness. Ash noticed her state.
"Serena, you all right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just feeling drowsy."
"You look too tired to continue walking home. I'll carry you the rest of the way."
Serena looked surprised. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Ash answered and picked her up and carried her bridal style the rest of the way home. Serena smiled and rested her head on Ash's shoulder and closed her eyes. Ash looked down at her and smiled and kissed her forehead.
Right when they got to Serena's front doorstep, Ash had a little difficulty opening the door. Luckily, Pikachu and Fennekin worked together to get the door open. Ash carried the sleeping Serena to the stairs when Grace suddenly stopped him.
Grace smiled. "Is she doing okay?"
"Let's just say she had one heck of a night." Ash responded. "She fell asleep on the way home so I carried her the rest of the way. So I'll carry her up to her room then head on home."
"You can stay tonight if you want." Grace insisted.
"You sure? I'll have to call my mom though."
"Don't you worry about that. I'll call her and tell her."
"Okay, thanks Grace." He replied and carried Serena up to her room with Pikachu and Fennekin following close behind. Her door was already open so he carried her over to her bed and gently laid her down. Once she was firmly placed on her bed, Ash kissed her cheek and laid down on the bed next to her, just to make sure she would be okay overnight. He eventually succumbed to drowsiness himself and fell off to sleep, with Pikachu and Fennekin doing as well.
After the night they had, they needed the sleep.
Author's note: There you have it, the homecoming chapter. I think this was my favorite chapter so far. I think it turned out well. But what about you guys? Four chapters in, eleven to go. Things are only getting started. What will happen next for our couple? Well, read this preview and find out.
The final bell rang and it was time to head home. Serena left the classroom before Ash did and made her way to go get Fennekin from the nursery. But within a few second, Ash grabbed her shoulder from behind, causing her to turn around.
"Oh, there you are. Ready to head home? Serena asked.
"Actually, I have to stay after and catch up on some work with Brock, Clemont, and Gary. And I wanted to ask you a favor." Ash explained.
"Sure, what is it?"
"Could you take Pikachu home with you? I'd hate to leave him in that nursery for an hour or two so could you take him home with you, if that's okay?" Ash asked.
"Of course. I'd be more than happy to. I would like to see how Pikachu handles hanging out with me." Serena answered.
"Okay, thanks. I appreciate it." Ash thanked and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll see you a little later okay?"
"Okay."
After that, Ash ran off towards the library, leaving Serena to go fetch both of their best friends. She walked to the nursery to where their Pokemon were held. Once she entered there, she called to Fennekin to come over, which Fennekin did.
"Hey Pikachu…"
"Pika?"
"Ash has to stay after today and he wanted me to take you home. Are you okay with that?" She asked.
"Pika pika." Pikachu replied, nodding his head and ran his way over to her, standing next to her feet.
"You two ready?"
"Pika."
"Fenne."
"All right, let's go."
Author's note: So Ash has to stay after and wants Serena to watch after Pikachu in the meantime. What will Serena and Pikachu do while Ash catches up on his schoolwork? Serena will probably be able to handle it. This is her boyfriends best friend you know. If you want to know for sure, sit tight and wait for the next chapter. Until then…
TDBigJ out!
And the flowers are still standing!
