A small flying Fletchling lands on top of Serena's head with a letter attach on its leg.
Serena: Oh hey Fletchling, what you have here?
Fletchling: Fletchling!
Serena: A letter from Mom? Let's what it says.
Grace: Serena, when you are coming home from the Professor's lab I need you to pick up a parcel at the postal office at Aquacorde Town. From your mother.
Serena: Thanks for the letter Fletchling.
Fletchling: Fletch!
Serena is now outside of Lumiose City and she is now riding her bike downhill towards to Santalune City.
After two hours of riding her bike to Santalune City and passing through the Santalune Forest and now she arrived to Aquacorde Town which is very close to Vaniville Town.
Serena: Okay here we are Fletchling, just wait out here while I'll be inside to get the parcel.
Fletchling: Fletchling!
Serena enters the post office to pick the parcel that is for her mother, Grace. A famous Rhyhorn racer that travel around the world.
Serena got out of the post office and got back onto her bike with Fletchling standing on her head.
Serena: Okay let's go home Fletchling.

Serena: Okay we are home Fletchling.
Serena placed her bike in the storage room and she enters her home.
Serena: I'm home Mom and Fletchling is with me.
Grace: Welcome home you two and did you pick up the parcel from the post office?
Serena: Here it is.
Grace: Thank you very much dear and you might want to stay and see what's in here. It's from Delia if you remember her.
Serena: Mrs. Ketchum?
Grace: Exactly and she made something for you since she knows that you'll be starting your very own journey really soon.
Grace opens the parcel that comes with a black shirt, red skirt, black socks, black shoes with pink Pokéballs symbols, and a pink hat.
Serena: Wow this outfit is so cute. I really have to thank Mrs. Ketchum is I ever get a chance to talk to her.
Grace: I'm glad that you like it and she actually made it herself.
Serena: I'm going upstairs to put this away for safe keeping till I officially start my journey.
Serena walks up to her room and safely puts away the outfit. Serena's mother calls for her to tell her that her friend is at the front door.
Serena meets her friend who knew since Serena first arrive from Pallet Town to Vaniville Town.
Serena: Oh hey Shauna.
Shauna: Hey how was your trip to the Professor's lab?
Serena: Very interesting.
Shauna: What did you do over there?
Serena: I happen to hear Professor Sycamore talking to a famous poet and researcher name Professor Oak from Pallet.
Shauna: You mean the Professor Oak? The man that wrote "Eevee, the Evolution Solution"?
Serena: Right.
Shauna: Wait were you from Pallet Town before you move here to Vaniville Town.
Serena: Yeah, before I was going to move. I was actually was going to get my starter Pokémon from him when I turn ten but that's when I moved here. I was actually going to pick a Bulbasuar but now that I'm going to start my journey here I might as well pick Fennekin since it looks adorable.
Shauna: I can't wait for use to go to the Professor's lab in four months. I'm most likely to pick Chespin as my starter. Hey we should have a Pokémon battle once we pick up our starters and the Pokédex.
Serena: Sounds like a plan.
Shauna: Great I'll be seeing you tomorrow since I have to go home for dinner.
Serena: Okay and goodbye.
Shauna: Bye!
Shauna left the front lawn and went home while Grace calls Serena to watch something amazing on TV.
Grace: Oh Serena, there is something you like to watch.
Serena: What is this a Pokémon battle?
Grace: It's the Unova League that took place over a month ago and Ash Ketchum is one of the finalist competing in the final rounds.
Serena sat down to watch the battle and Serena was amazed to see Ash using a Reshiram in the finals while the opposing trainer is using a Zekrom.
Serena: Wow he has a Reshiram and the other trainer haves a Zekrom.
Grace: That's right, you know back at the Parfum Palace. There are statues of Reshiram and Zekrom and legend says that both Kalos and Unova has some kind of ancient connection between the two regions.
Serena: What amazing power these two Pokémon have. I wonder how many journeys that Ash have been through already.
Grace: He's been in seven journeys already, first through Kanto, Orange Islands, Johto, Hoeen, Kanto again, Sinnoh, Unova and now he's on a journey through Kanto once more.
Serena: Him and Gary told me that they are going to travel through here but not with each other though. I'm thinking that if I should travel with him and the friends that he told me of. I hope he let me join him.
Grace: Of course he will, you two are best friends since you two were very little.
Serena: Right!
Grace: Well look who won the Unova League and this happens to be his second Pokémon League that he has won.
Serena: Amazing; and what happen to the dragons.
Grace: They turn back into stones which is their dormant form.
Serena: Will they be okay?
Grace: Of course, they are just in dormant for some quite some time.
Serena: Well I'm going to head upstairs and sleep.
Grace: Well goodnight dear.
Serena: Night mother.
Serena headed upstairs to her room and went to bed for the night.
Morning (11:39 a.m.)
It is now morning and Serena is sleeping late as usual. Her mother, Grace is working around the house and she calls Fletchling to wake her up. Fletchling is flying up the stairs then into her room. Fletchling is on Serena and the Tiny Robin Pokémon use Peck on her head to wake up her up.
Serena: OOWWWWWWHH!
Fletchling flew off of her and landed near the window.
Fletchling: Fletchling!
Serena: Why do you always have to peck me hard on the head?
Fletchling: Fletchling!
Serena: Hmmm!
Serena got out of bed and change. Later she goes downstairs for late breakfast.
