LETTERS
Dear Serena,
I can't believe I'm finally writing this!
Hope you're doing all great in Hoenn! I'm here in Galar, where fantasies come true you see. It's an amazing region. You know I'm hardly among those who would just stay plopped on their couches after getting done with one journey but will seek other regions, infused with new challenges and adventures. But surely traveling with you, Clemont, and Bonnie in Kalos was a real heartwarming experience. Thrill-ride as I say it! That was a journey of a lifetime for me. It did not just make me stronger as a trainer but as a person. And one of my best moments over there was meeting them. Including you. You are the most hardworking, kind yet strong trainer I've ever seen. It's splendid when it comes to your performance. But most of all, you love working with your Pokémon as they do. And your cherishing smile has the power to wipe off any pain in the world and replace it with compassion and care. I'm already missing that smile.
Then there's Clemont. One of the best human beings I've ever come across. He is a great inventor and has irreplaceable love for his work. He loves what he's doing no matter how it ends up and makes me love and respects him even more. And of course, SCIENCE IS SO AMAZING! He may get most of his stuff blown out, but he dares to get up and push himself. He never plugs away with his gadgets. I see the passion and dedication to the work that he does, or when he introduces us to some of his works. I feel the same way about my battles. This is the reason I always speak highly of him. He is so kind and cooperative as a brother (It would have been hard putting up with Bonnie otherwise haha!) and a heck of a battler. He is one of the best friends I could ever ask for. Most importantly, he always ends up giving me the perfect advice when I need it the most, maybe that's because he cares, hehe, and I love him for that.
Bonnie is always the charm of our gang. A cute yet sneaky young blonde, eyes full of aspiration, is capable of achieving whatever she desires. Her drive for Pokémon (hysteric at times) is what makes her a complete package! I and Pikachu better get ourselves prepared for the day she challenges us to a battle since I know she is doing that as well. Wonder if she still woos random by-standers for Clemont, I bet she does!
But you, Serena, are nothing less than an angel for me. The way you took care of me and helped me get back up on my journey was something I can never be thankful enough for. I'm glad you came with me so that I could witness the way you transformed from an introverted, shy fearful girl to a mesmerizing Pokémon performer and now maybe the princess of Hoenn! Whenever I was in a tricky situation, you were the one to come up with a supreme idea of what to do. You laughed with me on my good days and had always had my back when I was down. I still remember the day when I was down with a fever, you cured me up and fought for me till the end. It was precious. Also, speaking of fever, you may think that I'm making this up, but the bond you and Pikachu share is just as strong as us. Back in that cave with crystal glacial walls, you held my hand and saved me from falling into the abyss of two parallel worlds and remain trapped forever. You gave me life. I owe you a world for that.
You are kind, joyful, caring, lively, cute and surely one of a kind. You are my inspiration (just as you said I am). You improved yourself each day on our journey, and now I admire the girl you've grown into. I still envision that escalator parting us as I waved you goodbye. I felt a jab on my chest to let you go. It was way too painful and nerve-wracking than any of my previous goodbyes. Complicated as well. Maybe because that involved someone special…
I boarded my plane and flew off to Kanto, being unsettled throughout. Not just because I missed the adventure that was over, but because I could not be with you. That was the first time I wished to hug you all day and never let you go. But you had your own dreams, I had my own. I knew, deep inside that, we would meet again, someday. That contemplation makes me get up and work. I miss every bit of you, Serena, I don't know if you feel the same. It hurts me to imagine you in agony and pain, because you, with your honey hairs and gleaming sapphire blue eyes, are what cheers up my soul and wishes me a good morning, every day.
I started feeling different towards you since the day you wore the ribbon I gave you, on your neck, close to your heart, and held it with your hands time and often. I didn't know what the feeling was. And I avoided confronting it. The day you achieved your first princess key and the day you decided to travel to Hoenn, I was beyond proud to see you take a step further in your life. But in the airport when you had to leave, you looked morbid and I was worried sick wondering what might have happened, till you jolted up and secured the distance between us, kissing me. I was dazed, and I know how badly I wished to shout your name and assure you, yet I couldn't but waved you goodbye with beaming happiness. I realized what I felt for you and what it meant to be with you. It all came together, all that uneasy and giddy feelings, lurching stomach had an answer, hearing the word 'thank you' coming out of your wonderful lips, which I say you now Serena,
I LOVE YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL
BEYOND YEARS AND ETERNITY
EVEN AFTER THAT
I'm glad that you chose me since I don't deserve to be with you, the way you do. I'm sorry that I couldn't pick up your hints and I'm sorry it took me so long, but am happy to have received it eventually. You are the one who would make my life just as bright as a star and would keep me happy forever. I'll try to give you everything to keep that smile on your face and would always take care of you, I promise.
Anyways, do read my letter and reply if you feel like it. I guess this is it, but you bet I have more to share. I won the Alola championships and have a new bunch of Pokémons to show you when you come by. I'd ask you to come to Galar whenever you're free. I'd love to see you again. Galar is a great place with vivid traditions to explore and you'll love the region. You bet you will. Go for broke Serena, do have faith in yourself, and chase your dreams. Show the world that you are more than what the world thinks of you.
I'll be cheering you on and on and on…..
Good luck (wish me luck as well, bleh!) and do come here once, I will wait for you….
With love,
Yours truly,
Ash.
AND BAM THAT'S IT! LEMME KNOW IF IT WAS WHAT YOU WANTED IT TO BE!

TILL THEN, LET ME COMPLETE MY HOMEWORK T_T AND ENJOY!
