At Plusle's apartment...
Ash's POV
Brendan got a key out and opened the door to a very large apartment.
I sat on the couch and Pikachu sat on my lap.
"Plusle, go and find Serena", I heard Brendan say to her as I looked around the living room. "Distract her for a while, and I'll call you when we're ready to bring her in".
Plusle grabbed the key out of Brendan's hand and put it in her pocket. She then walked out, leaving me, Brendan, and Pikachu the only ones in the apartment.
"Okay, Ash, let's start off with the basics", Brendan said to me while making gestures with his hands.
"If you wanna get a girl, give her something she really likes", he explained while I was starting to doze off.
I finally couldn't take it and stood up. "I was thinking", I said, "That we can have a double date, instead".
Brendan blinked a few times like he had something in his eye and said, "That's not a bad idea, actually".
My stomach started to rumble a little, and I walked to the kitchen cabinet to grab a snack. All there was was Pokepuff and rice balls. I grabbed one of them and started to bite into it.
While I was chewing, I saw Brendan on the phone talking to somebody.
He put it on speaker and said, "Did you find her yet?"
Plusle's voice was coming out of the phone, saying, "Yeah, we were just talking about what she did in Kalos and how she and Ash met".
I started to blush a little, but it was okay since it wasn't a video chat. Just thinking about Serena made my heart pound fast.
"Well, we're ready, okay?" Brendan said.
"Okay", Plusle said and hung up.
Brendan walked into the closet and grabbed two tuxedos, one with a red tie and the other with a blue tie.
He gave the one with the red tie to me and said, "Girls want to see a man with style."
My spine was tingling. Brendan noticed and said, "Don't worry, we wear the same size".
But that wasn't the thing that I was worried about. I was worried if Serena would hate me for lying to her about going to Kanto.
I told that to Brendan and he replied, "You'll make it up to her with this. I bet she really likes you as much as you like her".
"I hope so", I thought.
7:30 PM
Plusle's POV
Me and Serena were at the mall shopping for something to wear for the double date.
Serena picked out a beautiful yellow dress with a rose gold pink trim and belt.
I gave her a blue and pink strapless dress that I thought matched her and personality.
We both paid for the dresses and put them on in the dressing rooms. Serena said, "I wish Ash liked me as much as I do".
"He does like you", I replied to not leave her hanging. "Trust me".
We both walked out of the store and went to the restaurant Brendan told us to go to, Applebeedrill's.
I saw that Ash and Brendan already got us a table. I sat next to Brendan, and Serena sat next to Ash, who looked not so bad in Brendan's attire.
Pikachu was at a different table with Ash and Brendan's Pokemon.
Serena blushed a little, and so did Ash.
Brendan held my hand, and Ash followed his lead. He probably told Ash to do what he did.
"You look so beautiful", Ash said to Serena sort of embarrassed.
Brendan made a hand gesture to Ash, another thing he taught Ash.
Ash looked at Brendan's gesture, which confused me a lot, and Serena directly on the lips. Mission successful.
But that was only before the food arrived. Once it arrived, Serena was in Ash's arms, blushing light red.
I ordered some spicy Pokepuffs, Brendan ordered some fried Magikarp, Ash ordered rice balls, and Serena ate from Ash's plate.
When we all finished while waiting for the check, me and Serena went to the bathroom to have a private talk.
"Thanks for the help", Serena told me happily and hugged me tight.
"No problem, me and Brendan sort of had the same problem when we had our first date", I replied.
