The treads on Serena's shoes dug into the grassy soil and propelled her into a spinning jump. She twirled round and round three times and passed beside Pancham in mid-air as he performed a mirror of her jump. She landed forcefully on her feet and immediately let out an enthusiastic shout as she turned towards Delphox. She extended her arm and flourished her hand in the direction of her Pokémon, turning all attention to the fire type. Pancham did the same and then Sylveon made her jump.

The fairy type cried out and jumped high into the air, using her ribbons to send pink sparks in all directions. Sylveon unfolded her body, Delphox moved to catch her and… the two Pokémon awkwardly crashed into each other before tumbling to the ground.

Serena felt all energy leave her. Her shoulders and arms slumped. Her face fell and her lips trembled. They'd been at this for over two hours. She'd made change after change to the routine yet it always ended in failure. She'd wracked her brain but had come up with nothing. No matter what she did, it always ended in disaster.

Sylveon let out a sharp cry and quickly moved to get off of Delphox. As she did so, she stepped on the proud, fire type's face. Sparks flew from Delphox's fur and the larger Pokémon rose to her feet, looking plenty angry. Fairy and fire faced each other and sent furious glares towards each other. Pancham shouted at them a few times but they paid him no heed.

"Hey, that's enough!" Serena said with an edge to her voice.

All three Pokémon froze in place and turned their heads toward Serena. The girl from Vaniville Town swallowed and had to force herself to not cry. She felt much like how her Pokémon were behaving; at her wits' end.

"Look, I know this has been really frustrating," she said, her voice cracking with emotion. "I really didn't think it would go like this, but we've got to keep it together."

Delphox and Sylveon exchanged subtle glares and while Serena stood with her lips trembling and hands shaking.

"We've done this before! We've won before!" She sniffed back tears. "And we're gonna win again," she managed in a warbling voice. "We just have to practice a bit more, okay!"

All three of her Pokémon looked disheartened and disinterested. Serena felt like sobbing but she couldn't in front of her Pokémon.

"But that can wait until tomorrow," she said in a trembling voice. "Let's just go inside and get some rest."

Her Pokémon remained downcast and Serena slowly moved so she was standing beside them. She reached down to rub Pancham's head; she ran her fingers through Delphox's fur and she petted the slender back of Sylveon. When she was done showing her Pokémon affection she gestured toward the path leading back to Fleurrh City. Without a word, the four of them began the trek back to town.


I couldn't even stand to make eye-contact with Delphox as we trotted into the hotel room. Today's practice had been a disaster and it was all her fault! As Serena shut the door and let out a big sigh, I didn't need my ribbons to feel arrogance radiating off of Delphox. It was so terrible what her attitude was causing!

I watched as Serena let out another big sigh and walked to the center of the room. She undid the bun of hair behind her head and let her golden locks fall, waterfall-like, behind her head. Her hair had grown to the point that it was now nearly down to her waist. It was a beautiful sight! It was too bad that the girl attached to all that hair looked so utterly miserable.

Serena turned to face us and put on a tense smile. "The showcase is in two days," she said in a reassuring voice. "Let's all get some rest and we'll train hard tomorrow!"

To my right, Pancham mumbled some hopeless words. To my left, Delphox grumbled something I couldn't make out. I knew it was directed at me, though! That unbearable bit‑

"Come here," Serena breathed in an emotional voice.

My thoughts were interrupted as Serena suddenly engulfed all of us in a warm hug. She pulled us close and nuzzled against us.

"I love you all so much!" she whispered. "I'm so sorry I'm letting you all down‑" her voice broke and she couldn't finish her sentence. She sniffed back tears and kept hugging us. Pancham did his best to return the hug with his short arms. All of us waited until Serena cleared her throat and pulled away. The golden haired girl wiped at her eyes and sighed.

"I'll, uh, do your brushing later," she mumbled. "I just need to think about a few things first."

Silence greeted Serena's words. None of us had anything to say. After several long seconds of this, Serena smiled faintly and stepped forward.

"Come on, go in the other room and have some fun," she said in a somewhat playful voice. She shooed us toward the neighboring room and stood in the doorway, smiling at us.

"Just relax for tonight," she said quietly. "Tomorrow will be a better day."

With that, Serena slowly closed the door and we were alone with each other. The room featured a sofa, a television a couple of chairs and a dresser. One of Serena's suitcases was sitting in a corner but none of this mattered. Delphox piped up and made one of her usual snide comments blaming me for what had happened today.

I whirled around on the fox-like demon and growled angrily. Ever since we'd left Kanto, things had only gotten worse and worse. Serena was sad, Pancham was distraught and I was furious. Not only that, my poor Glaceon had to be worried sick about me. All of this was Delphox's fault!

Without hesitation I tore into Delphox, informing her that it was her sloppy form which had caused the mistakes during practice. If she'd only listened to Serena's instructions, all of the problems today could have been avoided.

To the side, Pancham started shouting for us to stop. He said that we were bringing down Serena's entire career and making her look incompetent.

Delphox snorted and glowered at me. She barked a few comments and told Pancham that it was me who was to blame for the issues in our performances. She said that I was too much of a showoff and was always trying to do too much during the performance rather than getting the moves right.

I pawed at the carpet and yelled that Delphox should shut her long-nosed face unless she wanted me to beat her down like I had the previous week. Delphox's eyes narrowed and she barred her teeth. The previous week, one of our arguments had escalated to the point that we'd snuck outside and engaged in an unfriendly battle. I was the far superior combatant and I'd immensely enjoyed delivering attack after attack into her snobbish face. Despite the thrashing she'd received, I could see that she wanted a rematch. I hoped she would challenge me. I'd be happy to go again!

Delphox huffed and called me a female Pokémon of the night. I growled and reminded her how shallow and empty her life was. She growled, I growled. Then, the demon fox jolted abruptly, letting out a sudden cry of surprise and pain before she fell forward and crashed, face-first, into the carpet.

I stared at my enemy, unsure what to make of this. Then, I suddenly heard Pancham cry out and felt something hard slam into my posterior. Pain and shock exploded in my rump right before my face plowed into the carpet, just inches from Delphox's. I groaned and writhed as my backside began to smart with pain. One of my eyes tracked over to Delphox's face and I saw she was looking back at me. I started to open my mouth, when Pancham yelled at both of us to shut up, using language neither of us had ever heard leave his mouth.

The profane command caused both of us to look toward our teammate in surprise. It suddenly occurred to me that the sharp impact I'd felt from behind had been Pancham's foot. He'd no doubt done the same to Delphox. I felt some indignation over being kicked in the backside, but Pancham didn't give me a chance to voice it.

The tiny panda pounded a fist into an open palm and, with brow furrowed, started tearing into Delphox. I smiled as he said she was a disgrace of a Pokémon and that Serena would have been much better off picking Chespin or Froakie. Delphox squeaked in shock and opened her mouth but Pancham kept going. He reamed her over being so petty and undermining the performances by not working as a team. I felt vindication as Pancham rebuked her for calling me such terrible names and causing such discord. Finally, justice was being done!

I looked at Delphox with an expression of triumph. Then, Pancham started in on me!

My head snapped around as he raked me over the coals for being so focused on my potential mate that I forgot about supporting Serena. I gasped in shock and started to reply but, just like with Delphox, he kept going. He told me that I had to be the worst Sylveon to ever evolve because I'd completely forgotten about Serena's feelings and wishes. He said that I'd gotten so caught up in my pointless rivalry with Delphox that I'd become a cancer to the entire team. He said that I was more toxic than a Muk and that if Glaceon knew how I'd been acting, he'd go looking for a different mate.

The words skewered my heart and left me shaken like never before. Deep, deep down, I knew he was right. I knew everything he'd just said was right. But… I hated Delphox so much… There was no way I was going to just roll over and start pretending like all was well.

I glanced to the side at my rival and saw she was doing the same. We eyed each other for a few seconds before Pancham resumed speaking.

The little panda barked that we were some of the worst Pokémon a trainer had ever suffered the misfortune of traveling with. He reminded us that Serena was doing this entire Kalos trip for us; that she'd put her entire life on hold and stepped away from the man she loved so that she could fulfill that old promise she'd made to all of them. He said that our selfishness made him sick and that Serena would probably be better off if she released us and found new partners. We were nothing but deadweight holding her back!

My legs felt weak as Pancham finished speaking. I suddenly realized that I really had forgotten about Serena's feelings. Me! A Sylveon of all Pokémon! I'd forgotten about my trainer's feelings! How had this happened?!

I heard Delphox let out a mournful moan and silence suddenly descended on the room. I stared down at the carpet and tried to keep tears from forming in my eyes. Seconds ticked by, and suddenly all of us heard muffled sobs, faintly coming from the next room. Serena was crying again and all of us knew why. It was because we'd screwed up her performances. We'd sent her into this downward spiral of failure. We'd caused her to feel so low that, a few days ago, she'd gone out to drink with her friends. We'd been so focused on hating each other that we'd hurt her deeply.

I gasped and tears started to flow from my eyes. I tried hard but a whimpering wail escaped my throat as guilt overwhelmed me. Serena, my trainer, the human I loved more than any other had suffered because of me! I collapsed to my belly and sobbed into the carpet, just like Serena was sobbing in the next room.

Beside me, Delphox fell to her knees and wept as well. Tears fell from her eyes and dripped down to the carpet. She wrapped her arms around her body and whined in agony as she dealt with the same magnitude of guilt I was feeling. Except, surely she felt worse… She'd done so much more than I had, after all…

Time passed, we cried and Pancham stood, unmoving, with arms folded and stern expression fixed to his face. Slowly, I rose to my feet and sniffed away the last of my tears. I felt terrible, but I was ready to make things right with Serena. Delphox stood up as well and wiped at her face. We shared a glance but quickly looked away from each other. Both of us were ready to finally work together. We would restore Serena's name as one of the top performers in the world. She was our trainer and our friend. We'd do whatever it would take!

Pancham scowled at both of us and grumbled aloud. He rocked side-to-side and told us that we needed to apologize to each other and be a team again.

My eyes widened and I glanced at Delphox. She did the same and we shared a stare of barely veiled loathing. We were ready to do whatever it took for Serena…. just not this!

Silence reigned once more and Serena's sobbing became audible yet again. Pancham didn't budge and kept his scowl fixed on his face. Delphox's face contorted into a look of awkward discomfort and she shifted her gaze down to the floor. I looked away as well and wrestled with my feelings. Pancham's demand that I apologize to Delphox was the right thing to do, but I simply hated her so much. So many hurtful words had been said. So many jabs, snickers and laughs had been uttered. I wanted her to pay for everything she'd done. How could I say I was‑

Delphox abruptly coughed out words of apology and my jaw fell open in shock. I stared at her gritted teeth and tear-filled eyes and watched her mouth trembled. A second later, she repeated her apology, this time with sincerity.

A massive lump formed in my throat and tears started to flow from my eyes. I garbled a few words and nearly choked as my lungs started to spasm. With great effort, I croaked out an apology, just as Delphox had a moment earlier. The fire type appeared shocked just as I had been. I swallowed down some tears and repeated that I was sorry that I'd hurt her and behaved badly.

The two of us shared a long stare and suddenly our rivalry of the past few months seemed so utterly petty and ridiculous. Why had we let this happen? Why had we been so stupid and selfish? Why had we let our silly disagreement hurt Serena?

I started to bawl as did Delphox. We lunged towards each other and embraced. I wrapped my ribbons around her and she wrapped her arms about me. Tears, cries and blubbering ensued. To the side, Pancham let out a deep sigh of relief.


The tears had mostly stopped flowing and Serena's sobs had all but ended. She took long and slow breaths as she lay on her side atop her bed. She hugged one of the pillows to her chest for comfort, wishing things were different. Once, she'd loved competing and performing; now, she was starting to dread taking the stage.

She lay alone with her sorrow for several minutes before her phone suddenly rang. Serena reached up, grabbed her phone from the nightstand and almost burst into tears once again when she saw it was Ash! She quickly tapped the device to accept the call and let out a shuddering wheeze as she spoke to the man she loved so much.

"Ash!" she rasped, trying hard to keep from blubbering.

There was a moment's hesitation before the man in Kanto replied. "Hey," he said. Another pause and then he continued. "Is everything okay?" he asked, sounding concerned.

Serena's mouth trembled and she pulled the pillow tight to her chest. "No!" she whimpered in an emotional voice.

There was another pause. "What's wrong?" he asked gently.

Some more tears flowed from Serena's eyes and she replied in a broken, pitchy voice. "I just can't get anything to work!" she whined. "Every move I tell my Pokémon to do goes wrong!"

Ash made a sympathetic noise. "Sorry," he said in a downcast voice.

A single sob shook Serena and she struggled to keep from crying. "I don't know what's wrong," she breathed. "I just keep messing up!"

"Hey," Ash said in a kind tone. "You're really good at showcases. I know you'll figure it out. Don't be so hard on yourself."

Serena's lips curled up into an agonized expression and her heart felt like it was about to shatter. "I just got done practicing again," she bawled. "It still didn't work!" Her last words trailed off as she started to sob again. "I'm just terrible!"

Ash let out a sympathetic sigh and replied in a warm tone. "Serena, you're not terrible. You won the Hoenn championships, remember!"

Serena tried to form a reply but all she could manage was a series of extremely sad whines and squeaks. The sound of Serena's sorrow hung in the air for several seconds before Ash spoke in a stern voice.

"Okay, look! You're gonna have to pull yourself together," he said.

Serena let out a pitiful and surprised whimper. Ash usually didn't say things like that. A second passed, and her man continued.

"Or I'm gonna have to come over there and sock you with a snowball!"

In an instant, dozens of memories flashed through Serena's mind. She remembered the tough loss at Snowbelle gym for Ash; his brooding and isolation. She remembered chasing him down and trying to encourage him before ultimately getting yelled at. She'd then delivered an angry barrage of snowballs to the man she loved; quite possibly the boldest thing she'd ever done aside from kissing Ash at the airport.

The timing of Ash's comment was perfect. The sorrow inside Serena's chest evaporated as she felt her love for her man ignite within her. She choked out one final sob and then began to laugh. She cried and she laughed and Ash started to laugh along with her. Finally, she simply laughed.

With tears of sadness and mirth wetting her face, Serena's body slowly shook as she sniggered and giggled. She took a few wheezing breaths and finally stilled her body.

"I love you, Ash Ketchum!" she said with all the sincerity and warmth in the world.

Ash chuckled and Serena could sense him smiling through the phone. "I love you too," he replied in a voice which made Serena yearn to be back in Kanto and within his embrace. Serena took several long breaths and finally spoke.

"I'm really sorry about all this Ash," she said, her voice full of regret.

"What do you mean," he replied.

Serena sighed and spoke in a frustrated tone. "I mean, I'm just wasting my time here in Kalos while you're working hard taking care of things."

"You're not wasting your time."

"Yeah I am! I've messed up every showcase I've been in. I've spent almost two months doing nothing!"

Ash huffed and spoke in a candid tone. "Look, Serena, I want you to achieve your dream. I know it's not gonna be easy and it's probably gonna take a while, but I'll wait as long‑"

"But I don't want you to have to wait!" Serena exclaimed, cutting him off.

Silence ensued and Serena curled up on the bed, holding the phone close to her mouth and ear. "You've already waited long enough," she breathed in an emotional voice. She paused for a couple of heartbeats and whispered her next words. "We've waited long enough."

More silence followed before Serena continued.

"I've been thinking about this Ash," she sighed. "If I don't do well in this next showcase, I'm just gonna come back home."

Ash grunted in surprise. "Uh, back home!" he said.

"Yeah."

Ash made an uncertain sound before speaking. "Don't give up, Serena. You're so close to‑"

"To what, Ash?! she said sharply. Going to another showcase, and then another one after that?!"

"Uh," Ash replied.

Serena fought back some hot tears and continued. "And then what, I get to be Kalos queen and stay over here for who knows how long…"

Her angry words hung in the air and Serena immediately felt bad for having said them. Ash didn't deserve to have her ranting at him. He was just trying to help in whatever way he could. She let out a deep sigh and spoke in an ironic tone.

"Boy this really is Snowbelle with the roles reversed, isn't it?"

Ash chuckled and a moment later she joined in. He giggled mischievously and spoke in a humorous voice.

"You know, they're saying we might get some snow here soon. I could save a snowball for when you get back!"

Serena sniggered and then laughed. It felt really good to laugh and she decided to leave her worries about showcases beside. She just wanted to talk to Ash, now.

"Well, you better save a whole bunch," she breathed in a low voice. "It's gonna take more than one snowball to stop me from coming after you!"

"Uh, oh!" he said with a humorous chuckle.

Serena sensed that Ash hadn't quite picked up on the intention of her comment. She playfully bit the tip of her tongue and hummed erotically.

"Oh, I guarantee you'll be saying a lot more than 'uh oh' when I get back there!"

Serena waited several seconds and heard Ash chuckle in a low voice. She smiled and giggled excitedly. It was time for some fun! It had been way too long since she'd had fun with Ash!

"Okay," Ash sniggered. "Are you in a mood again?!" he asked cautiously.

Serena sniggered. "Definitely," she breathed. "First a bad mood and now a good mood!"

Ash sniggered and replied in a humorous voice. "You haven't been out clubbing again, right?"

Serena snorted and chuckled as she covered her face out of embarrassment. She was never going to live that night down. She was just glad barely anything embarrassing had happened to her.

"Nope! That was a one-time deal!" she said with exaggerated intensity.

Ash chuckled and replied in a sexy voice. "So, what do you want to do?!"

Serena felt a single, small tingle ripple within her lower regions. She considered being subtle and playful. She immediately disregarded that idea.

"Where are you Ash?" she asked playfully. "The kids aren't there, right?"

Ash chuckled. "I'm back at the reserve," he replied. "I got back earlier today. Kiawe, and the girls are doing a great job! They all went to bed a little while ago."

Serena smiled broadly and felt her excitement increase. "So, are you in your room right now?" she asked in a teasing voice.

Ash chuckled. "Yes."

"And are you all alone?" she breathed.

"Yes."

Serena inhaled and slowly blew out a hot breath. "Are you on your bed?"

Ash sniggered. "Yes."

Serena felt another tingle wriggle within her. She breathed and let out a feminine sigh.

"I wish I was there with you, Ash!"

"I wish you were too," he replied.

Serena felt her skin begin to flush. "Are you sure?" she said with an audible grin.

Ash let out a curious hum and Serena replied in a supremely sultry voice.

"Cause if I was there, by the time I got done with you, you'd feel like a Miltank on a farm that's way behind on deliveries!"

"Huh?" Ash responded in a befuddled voice.

Serena sniggered naughtily. She'd hoped that Ash wouldn't get her reference. With her loins starting to tingle, Serena licked her lips and spoke words dripping with sexual longing.

"I'm saying that I'd milk you dry, Ash Ketchum, and then keep going!"

Even though it was impossible, Serena swore she could hear Ash's eyes widen. She giggled in a sexy manner and heard Ash start to chuckle.

"Really?" he asked.

Serena grinned and put her lips right next to her phone. "All… night… long…" she whispered.

Ash started to snigger. "You think you could last on top all night…"

Serena shifted her legs and wiggled her lower half as her body's desires awakened. "I know I could, Ash!"

"But what if I wanted to be on top?"

Serena grinned. "Well, we could always take turns!"

For several seconds, only the heavy breathing of the two separated lovers came over their phones. Then, to Serena's delight, Ash spoke some teasing words.

"I'm really going to enjoy being on top of you, Serena!" he whispered.

An excited tingle raced up Serena's spine. She chuckled and responded with a sexy phrase of her own.

"And I'm going to love having your big… thing… all the way inside me!"

Ash chuckled. "And I'm gonna enjoy sliding all the way inside you!"

Serena inhaled sharply as her loins quivered. She let out a slow, sensual grunt and slid her right hand downward to quiet the yearning between her legs.

"I thought you wanted to squeeze my boobs before you got to my… other… bits," she whispered erotically.

Ash paused for a moment. "I do," he replied in a saucy tone. "I told you what I want to do…"

Serena smiled gleefully. "I remember!" she chirped.

Silence hung in the air and then Ash's voice sounded. "So, do you want to show them to me?"

"Huh?" Serena chirped.

Ash chuckled tensely. "You know, on the phone!"

Serena's mouth partially fell open in shock. She could hardly believe the request. For so long, Ash had been hesitant to do anything sensual. She'd prodded, cajoled and practically begged him to do more. Now, to her surprise and delight, he finally had. It's too bad they were on the phone. Had they been together, in person, her top would already be on the floor…

"Oh, Ash!" Serena breathed, in a voice dripping with desire. "You, naughty, naughty boy!"

Ash chuckled and Serena giggled. After a few tense seconds, he spoke again.

"So, what do you say?"

Serena chewed on her lower lip as conflict raged inside her. She had no hesitation over showing Ash her bust. However, she wanted the moment to be special. She wanted it to be memorable; something they could talk about and giggle over for years to come. It would be a simple matter to start a video call and then put on a show of removing her clothing. However, it was all so impersonal… Plus, she still didn't like the idea of filming herself topless and broadcasting it. What if someone else somehow saw it…

"Uhhhh, I don't know, Ash," she agonized.

"Umm, really?" he said in a surprised tone.

Serena clinched her teeth and grimaced. She hated to disappoint Ash, but after the kid's interruption of their video call some time ago, she'd finally decided to not record herself doing any sexy things. Internally, she promised to make it up to Ash when they finally met in person.

"Yeah," she said uncomfortably. "I don't really want to do that over the phone."

Serena waited long seconds for Ash's reply.

"Uh, okay," he mumbled.

"Sorry," she said sincerely. "If we were together, I‑"

"Yeah, yeah, I get it!" Ash said quickly, in a friendly tone. "I… just figured… after what you said last time…"

"Huh?" Serena grunted in confusion.

Ash hesitated for a moment. "Never mind," he mumbled.

Serena genuinely felt bad. Ash had wanted to do something sexy and she'd shut him down. What a strange reversal of their usual roles this was! She spent a moment thinking and a grin quickly spread across her face.

Serena drew in a breath and let her hot exhalation wash all over the phone. "Ash," she spoke in a sexy voice.

"Yeah," he replied quickly.

"Are you feeling lonely?" she sang.

She listened to her man chuckle and heard him speak in a sultry voice. "I'm very lonely."

Serena let out a sensual, feminine sigh and arched her back. She flared her legs and stretched her lower half in anticipation of what she hoped was about to unfold.

"Well, I can't milk you dry, Ash," she said in a teasing voice. "But, I can help you not feel so lonely!"

Ash chuckled some more. "And how would you do that?" he asked.

Serena couldn't stop grinning. With a gleeful giggle, she reached down and used her right hand to slip her skirt free of her legs.

"I just took my skirt off, Ash!" she whispered into the phone. A few moments passed and some rustling of fabric sounded before Serena tossed aside another garment. "Now I just took off my top!"

Ash was starting to giggle excitedly so Serena paused her actions for a moment. "Have you already started Ash?!" she asked in a playful, feminine tone.

Ash chuckled. "Yeah," he said in a mildly embarrassed voice.

Serena felt a hot rush of emotions bloom inside her body. She'd done quite a few sexy things with Ash, but never anything quite like this. With a grin on her face, she briefly used her right hand to join Ash in keeping the loneliness at bay. Her face scrunched up as pleasure washed over her and she allowed the phone to broadcast a pair of her sensual gasps.

"Sounds like you're enjoying yourself!" Ash said.

Serena giggled and squirmed atop the mattress. "Sounds like you are too!"

Ash chuckled. "Yeah, I am," he replied. He laughed abruptly and paused for a moment before continuing. "In fact, you could say that I'm a Pokémon master-bater!" he said playfully.

Serena snorted and laughed but quickly tried to get her voice under control. "What, no, Ash!" she said, trying not to chuckle. "That's terrible!"

"Uhhh?" Ash answered in befuddlement.

Serena cleared her throat and made an effort not to laugh despite her finding his comment pretty funny. "Don't call yourself that! That's awful!"

Seconds passed and Ash made a few uncertain noises before finally replying in an agreeable tone. "Okay, uhhh… sure!"

Serena shook her head in amusement and whispered seductively into the phone. "I really hope we can get back together so we can do this for real!"

"Yeah, me too!" Ash answered.

Serena shifted her position slightly and reached behind her back. "I want you to be, Ash Ketchum, the man who makes me shout and scream; not a Pokémon master-bater."

Ash laughed ironically but didn't say anything. A moment later, Serena flicked her wrist and another bit of her clothing went flying.

"Ahhhh!" she exhaled in relief. "I always love taking off my bra after a long day!"

"Oh!" Ash replied suddenly.

Serena giggled and used her right hand to massage her newly freed mounds of flesh. How she wished it was Ash doing this instead of her! She sighed happily and listened to Ash chuckle excitedly.

"Hey, Ash," Serena breathed.

"Yeah."

Serena chortled and blushed. She could hardly believe she was doing this.

"You wanna know how to really drive a girl crazy?"

"Sure!"

A feminine squeal of embarrassment escaped her lips before Serena continued with her sultry statement. "After you do a little bit with your fingers, start using your tongue!"

A series of excited laughs came over the phone. It took a few seconds before Ash could properly speak and Serena put the time to good use!

"On which part?" Ash asked.

Serena giggled. "Either one!"

Ash sniggered a few times before he replied in a bashful tone. "Good to know!" he said.

Serena continued giggling as she wiggled her hips and maneuvered her legs. She tossed aside another garment and spoke in her phone.

"Well, that's, that," she stated.

"What's that?" Ash replied.

Serena hummed seductively. "Guess what I am now, Ash," she breathed.

"Uhhh."

Serena tried to wait, but she immediately started giggling from excited anticipation. "Naked!" she announced gleefully.

Ash chuckled repeatedly and Serena felt her excitement only increase. With nothing impeding her access, she moved her right hand downward and continued the work she'd begun earlier. A few seconds later, her legs started to writhe and her stomach to roll.

"Oh, Ash!" Serena rasped in an astonished voice. "I love it when you kiss me… and touch me!"

Several hot breaths sounded over the phone as they each attended to themselves and basked in lovely enjoyment. After a dozen seconds, Ash spoke up in a distracted voice.

"I really love holding you, Serena. I like feeling your hair; listening to you giggle when I touch you!"

Serena hummed erotically. "You really like teasing that you're gonna touch my boobs!" she gasped.

Ash chuckled in agreement. "Yeah! I love how excited you get! You make those little squeaks when I get close!"

Serena moaned as a tingling, shiver lanced through her body. She writhed and twisted as she edged ever closer to her destination.

"I wish you'd touched them, Ash!" she whined, barely keeping a cry of pleasure contained within herself. "I kept hoping you would!"

Ash giggled. "You really want me to…"

Serena smiled and hummed while biting her lower lip. "I want you to squeeze them, really slowly!" she said, desperation tingeing her voice.

Ash chuckled and both of them spent a moment breathing heavily and imagining exactly what would happen if they weren't separated by countless miles.

Ash giggled and spoke in a low voice. "You know what I'd like to do?" he asked.

"What!" Serena replied sharply between gasps.

Ash made a manly noise and continued. "I'd like to come up behind you, wrap my arms around your waist and then reach up and grab your boobs!"

Serena's eyes went wide as her man's words flowed into her ears and took root in her brain. In that moment, she swore she could feel his arms around her and his fingers teasing the soft flesh of her bosom. She whined and moaned as small spasms start to trigger within her.

"I really want you to do that!" she wailed in a frantic voice.

Ash hummed in a voice which made Serena's body ache for his presence. "I'm gonna do a lot more than that, Serena!" he breathed.

Serena's breath came in short, quick bursts. She whined and squeaked as her body perched on the edge of a magnificent, feminine celebration.

"Tell me what else you'd do to me, Ash?" she begged in a desperate, warbling voice.

Ash did exactly that, in a low, sexy tone which made Serena's ears tingle and her body quiver. The golden haired girl slowly writhed and secured her phone into the crook of her left shoulder so she could have both hands free. Her right hand remained low but her left went high and attended to the elastic flesh which longed for Ash's fingertips.

Sharp gasps and erotic hums escaped Serena's mouth. Her legs seemingly moved on their own as her body reached the limits of sensual stimulation. Then, with an astonished gasp, Serena no longer felt lonely!

Normally, Serena made every effort to contain herself and keep any vocalization of her elation to a minimum. This time, she did no such thing. As her body was rocked with wondrous sensations, she allowed every gasp, every moan and every whine to burst forth from her mouth and pour into her phone. She wheezed and babbled nearly incoherent things about Ash as her muscles pulsed and shivered. As a final, large shudder shook her body, there was no doubt; this had been the best one ever! The girl from Vaniville Town blew out a ragged breath and fell limp atop the bed.

Serena slowly drew in breath after breath as her body finished resolving the most amazing thing a woman could experience. She felt drained of all energy and yet so very fulfilled emotionally. It was a strange paradox of sensations, one she savored enjoying.

Serena suddenly heard Ash's voice sound over the phone. It was distant and distracted, like his attention was elsewhere.

"Ahhh, Serena!" he groaned. A moment later, Serena heard a manly grunt and a gasp. Another grunt followed and Serena felt raunchy excitement fill her being as she listened to what was going on. She nuzzled up against her phone and hummed erotically, drinking in every sound and letting her imagination run wild! Seconds passed and she heard Ash finally sigh just like she had.

Serena grinned from ear-to-ear. "So, how was yours?!" she whispered coyly.

Ash chuckled. "Probably not as good as yours was," he quipped. "You sounded out-of-control!"

Serena giggled naughtily and squirmed atop the mattress. "For a second, I was!" she replied.

Both of them snickered and let their breath tickle their phones. They hummed and sighed as their heart rates slowed and their bodies calmed down. Finally, Serena was the one break the silence.

"I can't wait till I'm back home, Ash!" she said in an emotional whisper. "I really miss you!"

Ash chuckled. "Well, if it will make you feel better, we can do this whenever you're feeling lonely."

Serena grinned and sniggered. She'd really enjoyed their intimate interaction, but now that her arousal and intense feelings were dissipating, she was again feeling lonely. She was tired of being in Kalos. She wanted to be back in Kanto with Ash.

"I don't think we'll have to do this again, Ash," she sighed. "I've got the next showcase in a few days and then I'll probably be coming home."

Ash was silent for a moment. When he spoke, his voice sounded concerned and sad.

"Why are you gonna come home?"

"Cause I'm not gonna win, Ash," Serena sighed in a resigned voice. "It's probably just gonna be another disaster."

Ash made an unhappy noise and then spoke in a, encouraging tone. "You're not giving up, are you?"

Serena sighed again. "No…. I just," she sighed again. "I'm ready to come home," she said in a small voice.

"Hey," Ash chirped. "Don't give up until it's over, okay!"

Serena chortled and smiled as warm feelings bloomed inside her chest. She really loved Ash.

"Yeah, yeah," she sighed. "I won't. I just don't think this is gonna go well."

Ash's voice became more upbeat. "Well, I think it will go better!" he said.

Serena chuckled. "And why do you say that?"

Ash sniggered. "Cause if you lose again, I'm gonna come over there and smack you with a snowball!"

Serena giggled in amusement but suddenly became silent as her eyes widened in excitement. She took a ragged breath and whispered into the phone.

"So, if I lose, you promise that you'll come over here and see me?"

Ash giggled again. "Yeah, sure."

Serena grinned and continued speaking in a low voice. "No, I mean, do you really, really promise that you'll come over here!"

Ash hesitated for a moment. "Uhh, yeah," he said.

Serena blew out a hot breath and felt desire resurface inside her. "Well, you're making losing really attractive all of a sudden, Ash!" she said in a sultry voice.

Ash made a series of uncertain sounds. "Uh, wait?!" he grunted.

Serena hummed seductively. "So, here's how it's going to go," she began. "If I lose my showcase, you're gonna come over here and we're going to spend a couple of days together." Serena purposefully let out a feminine sigh before she continued. "While you're here, we're gonna do all the things we've ever wanted to do to each other!"

Silence greeted Serena's statement. She smiled and imagined a wide-eyed Ash staring into space.

"Uh, okay!" Ash finally grunted.

Serena sniggered and suddenly felt a very strange mix of feelings. She wanted to win her next showcase for her Pokémon, but she also desperately wanted to lose so she could have a magical couple of days with Ash. Deep down, she knew what this was. This was going to be her last showcase ever and the start of her life with Ash. After they shared a bed, she'd simply go back home with him to Kanto. There'd be no more traveling and competing, she was ready to come home. That was the life she wanted now. It was the end of an era and the start of something new and wonderful. The loss was sure to sting but the sex afterward would more than make up for it! Serena let out another sigh and felt a single tear roll down her cheek as she mourned the end of her showcase career.

"I still hope you win," Ash added abruptly.

Serena sniggered. "Thanks Ash," she chirped.

Silence reigned again as they listened to each other breathing. Serena finally spoke up in a naughty, teasing voice.

"Hey, Ash," she began.

"Huh," he grunted.

Grinning broadly, Serena continued. "Don't make yourself not feel lonely the next few days, okay."

"Uh," Ash replied.

Serena sniggered. "When you show up, I want you to have plenty of love for me to milk out of you!"

"Uhhh!" Ash replied.

Serena sniggered again and pressed her lips up against the phone. "Good night, Ash," she whispered.

"Uh, goodnight!" he responded.

Serena made some kissing sounds with her lips and then ended the call. The girl from Vaniville Town sighed happily and set her phone aside. She lay on the bed for several long moments before she sat up and looked around the room. The excitement from earlier had completely faded and she suddenly felt chilly and somewhat embarrassed.

With a nervous laugh, Serena awkwardly slid off the bed, using her left arm to cover her bust even though there was no one else in the room. She quickly made her way to her dresser and recovered her pajamas. As she slipped on the warm garment, she giggled and shook her head. Love sure made people do crazy things. In a few days, she and Ash would get to find out just how crazy they could be together…
