Chapter 7: Good Acquaintances
"So, where are we going to… Ash?" Serena asked as she looked over to her new 'boyfriend'.
"Sushi High Roller," Ash said with a straight face.
"Isn't that restaurant extremely expensive?" Serena questioned Ash.
"It is, but I can afford it."
"How come?"
"I'll talk to you about it once we get there," Ash said with a smile.
"Here we are, milady," Ash said when they got there as he smirked at Serena causing her to blush furiously. "It's okay, there is no need to be nervous," Ash said in attempt to calm her down.
"I-it's just, how would they react when they see the Kalos Queen with a random stranger?" Serena said.
"I almost forgot, you became the Kalos Queen a few months ago, and also, who are you calling a random stranger?" Ash chuckled a little, as they headed to the restaurant.
"Name, sir?" the reservationist asked when they approached the front desk.
"Satoshi. Red Satoshi."
"Right this way sir," the reservationist said as she led the two to their table. Ash could here whispers as the couple passed by. "Here you are sir."
"Thank you," Ash told the woman as the two sat across from one another. "Remember, I am Red," Ash whispered to Serena.
"Alright, anyways where is Raichu?" Serena asked Ash as she saw him glance at her.
"I asked Brock to take care of him," Ash answered as he looked at the menu. "Anyways, you said you wanted to know how I managed to afford going to a restaurant like this?"
Serena nodded, looking through the menu. "You see," Ash started to say, "I catch Pokémon for other people."
"You mean like Hunter J?" Serena asked, having heard from Dawn stories about the Pokémon bounty hunter.
"No- I mean yes- what I mean is besides capturing Pokémon against their own will, I ask them, and if they agree, I capture them," Ash explained as a waitress approached them.
"Would you like to order now?" the waitress asked the two, as Ash saw three figures, one of them being a Meowth enter, looking around. Serena also noticed them.
"I'll take whatever Serena will have," Ash told the waitress, "Serena stay here."
Serena was confused of why Ash did not want her help. Serena just sighed and began to order.
With Ash…
"Any news of what Giovanni is up to?" Ash asked the trio as they walked outside. The trio nodded in response, handing Ash some pictures.
"Here, they've been talking about something called 'Project: Missingno'. Meowth explained. "We caught these images from a few hours ago. We were going to meet you in your apartment, but you weren't there, so we just tracked you through your phone."
"And we see you are… A little busy," James and Jessie teased.
"Ha, ha, very funny guys," Ash replied rolling his eyes. "I'm just glad you guys aren't part of them anymore."
"They have taken all this too far," Meowth answered, with Jessie and James nodding their heads.
"Well, I'll see you guys again soon!" Ash said as he went back to his table with Serena.
"What was that about?" Serena asked as Ash approached their table. "Why did Team Rocket come?"
"You see, they work alongside me," Ash explained while rubbing the back of his head. "They quit Team Rocket once they found out I was dead, thinking that they've gone too far."
"Oh," Serena muttered.
"How about we go back to our… date?"
"Okay."
One Hour Later…
"Thanks for the wonderful night, Ash," Serena thanked her new boyfriend.
"Anything for you," Ash responded as she gave Serena one final kiss and walked to the hotel.
I apologize for the short chapter; I have been extremely busy that I did not find time to work on the story. I have started a story based on "Hoopa and the Clash of Legends". Thanks for the support!
