First of all, I am gonna make an announcement that I am gonna make a SPECIAL PART for ash and serena's meet and it is going to be longer than any of my other parts of this story. I had not started writing it yet, but it is in planning.
Secondly this part totally focuses on Ketchum family. I know scenes of serena are very less but in further parts i will make it up for them .
Kamencj :
Nice to have another chapter! and glad to hear about Pikachu and Sylveon. I know that Sylveon never showed interest in Pikachu in the anime, but screw it! it's a ship idea i love and i want to see it! lso THANK you for not going the stupid LOVE TRIANGLE or EVIL Calem route. getting sick and tired of that stupid trope. Also, i will admit that another ship idea that comes from this is Serena's Braixen/Delphox being in a relationship with Ash's Greninja. if you decidd to put it in, great! if not, also great! just keep writing this food story man!
First of all thanks for your comment.
About Pikachu and Sylveon, then the ship was of course going to be there since it's my favourite as well along with the ship of Greninja and Delphox/Braixen. So both these ships are confirmed for the story.
The love triangle track with Calem is very common in almost all the amourshipping stories, even I was bored reading them so had to do something to change it.
YamiChaos27 :
Well... Definitely not the direction I was expecting, but not an unwelcome one. For a story advertised as a non-dense Ash Amour shipping story taking place after Unova, I never would've guessed Rota would get involved, let alone Ash being the prince.
Also wasn't expecting Squirtle-now-Blastoise and Primape to return as well as Haunter-now-Gengar, and a few new Pokemon for Ash. Wonder what purpose they'll serve. And I wasn't expecting Riolu to be the same one he met in Sinnoh.
Also interesting way to set up Ash and Serena's reunion. Thought they'd reunite in Kalos, but a Royal Party in Rota seems like a good spin.
First of all thanks for your lovely comments.
First of all talking about the Rota track, even before I started writing this story, I decided to make it a royal one. I tried my best to not let anyone know until now that the story is going to be a royal one to make it filled with interest and suspense.
One of the reason for the return of Pokemon was that, we never get to see these pokemon returning back to Ash after their training like we see with his Charizard. Not to forget, I am sure almost all the readers would be interested to see the return of Ash's previous pokemon.
And about reunion in a Royal Party makes the story unique, that's why went that way. And I am happy that my readers liked that.

Whoa! This is a awesome and exciting chapter! Please keep writing.
Thank you for reading my story and for your kind review.
Cipherdragonite :
Say for when ash gets to kalos after saving professor sycamore's garchomp he rewards ash with a Pokémon egg containing ash's canon noivern.
Noivern is such a awesome Pokémon a combination of a bat and dragon I was happy ash owns one it's awesome moment is ash's noibat evolving into noivern saving hawlucha battling zapdos drawing to sawyer's salamence but the producers along with the writers didn't give ash's noivern more screen time or give it moves that could help it.
So having ash get his canon noivern early by professor sycamore so he could gain battling experience, screen time for noivern develop noivern and hawlucha bond.
First of all thank you for reading my story. Now coming to Ash getting Noibat, that should be left in suspense, but I assure you that Ash would get Noibat early on and would have awesome performance and his own shining time.
Ch - 5
Ketchum Family Time
In Rota ( Evening Time )
Ash is waiting impatiently for his sisters in the living room with the rest of the family . He is getting irritated now.
"When will they reach mom?", asked an impatient Ash.
"Mom, Dad, Aunt, we are here," two unknown people said as they entered the hall.
When the voice was heard, they all looked in that direction and saw two girls standing there.
The first girl, who looked a bit older than Ash, was tall and slim with pale peach skin and dark blue eyes. She had very dark brown hair tied in two large sock buns above her ears with two long locks hanging loose to her waist and shorter locks on either side of her face. She was wearing a pink and white visor on her head, as well as a salmon pink tank top tied with a bow around her neck like a bikini top under a white quarter-length slim-fit top with ice blue sleeves and a fully salmon pink semi-Poké Ball printed on the chest area. On her bottom half, she wore frilly flared mustard yellow shorts over black lycra leggings with salmon pink socks. Her hi-top shoes were ice blue and white with mustard yellow laces. She was carrying a large salmon pink and white handbag with a black strap over her shoulder.
They both came, and the elder one hugged Delia while the younger one hugged Red. Then the younger one hugged Delia and the elder one hugged Red. After that, they both hugged Illene together. It was at that time they saw a raven-haired boy with Pikachu on his shoulders who somewhat looked like their dad standing there. Not knowing who he was, they decided to ask their parents.
" Mom, Dad, who is he? " asked a curious Leaf.
" Yes, mom, and why does he look familiar? I know him, and I've seen him somewhere," Rosa asked suspiciously.
"Now that you've said sis, I do find him familiar, but I can't remember," said Leaf.
"Girls, there is a secret that we had kept from you both," said Red.
"What secret, dad?" Rosa asked confusingly.
While pointing to Ash, Delia said, "Well, you see he is Ash, your brother."
"Whatttt??????? " Both Rosa and Leaf shouted at the same time.
"Yes, girls, Ash is younger than you, Rosa, and elder than Leaf," said Delia.
"I had a little brother all this time, and you never told me. Why?" Rosa asked with some anger in her voice.
"Rosa, you know, due to security reasons, you have to live separately from your mom, and you were only able to meet her once a year." Said Red
" Yes, Dad. But what does it have to do with keeping this a secret from us that we have a brother? " Rosa asked as her anger grew with each passing second.
Then Red tells Rosa and Leaf the same things that he told Ash in the previous chapter.
"I am so happy that I have a big brother," Leaf said excitedly.
"And I am happy that I have two sisters," Ash also responded with an excited tone.
Just when Ash completed his line, he was hugged tightly by Leaf. Rosa also joined the hug. Their parents were happy to see the reunion of their children. After they parted from the hug, Pikachu jumped into Leaf's arms.
"Who is this cutie?" Leaf asked in her curious yet excitement-filled tone.
"Well, he is my best buddy, Pikachu, my very first Pokémon," replied Ash.
"Wow, Ash! You got yourself a Pikachu as your starter," Rosa said in an impressed tone. To which Ash replied, "Yes."
Leaf and Rosa petted Pikachu, to which he cooed happily.
"Brother, but Pikachu isn't the starter Pokémon of Kanto," asked Leaf curiously.
"Well, the story is pretty embarrassing, but I'll tell you later," Ash replied nervously.
"Mom, Dad, this is wrong. Big brother knew about us, but we didn't know about him," Leaf asked suddenly.
" Leaf, Ash also got to know about you two this morning," replied Delia.
Then she tells them what happened at Ketchum residence and in the morning. To which both Rosa and Leaf nod their heads, understanding the situation.
"Ok, now you three go and wash your hands and meet us at the dining table," ordered Delia in her strict tone. To which all her children responded with agreement. But a common thought was roaming in all her children's heads which was their love for food.
Three of them, along with Pikachu, came back after washing their hands and are now sitting at the dining table with other family members for dinner. All of them were enjoying it, as this was the first time the whole family was eating together. They were talking, teasing, and pulling each other's legs.
While having dinner, Red asked, "Rosa, I wanted to ask something."
"What, dad? " Rosa asked curiously.
"Well, I gave you the task to find out about the trainers who were responsible for stopping Team Aqua, Team Magma, Team Galactic, Team Plasma, and gave Team Rocket a run for their money. So, did you find anything? " Asked Red.
Hearing this, Ash choked on his food while Rosa gave him a sly smile. Everyone was looking at him except Rosa, as if asking what happened.
"Why are you searching for those trainers, Dad?" Ash asked nervously.
"Well, Ash, I want them to join the International Police, as they've already been a big help in stopping those evil teams," replied Red.
"Why are you searching, Dad? As far as I know, neither you nor Rosa is in the police," asked Ash curiously.
" Ash, I think I forgot to tell you what work I do. " Red said nervously.
"Oh, yes, now I remember you didn't tell me," answered Ash.
" Ash, do you know who the current world champion is? " Red questioned nervously.
"I don't know, Dad. Although I tried to know, I failed every time. It seems like, due to security reasons, only his close ones know his name. But why did you ask? ", Replied Ash, thinking about it.
"Actually, Ash, you are sitting with the world champion," said Rosa.
"What? " Shouted Ash in a surprised manner.
" Yes, brother, our dad is the current world champion," Leaf said with a proud tone.
Ash and Pikachu were just shocked; they didn't know how to respond. After 10 minutes, they came back to their senses.
" Dad, you are the world champion and you didn't even bother to tell me, " Ash yelled furiously.
" Sorry, Ash, I just forgot to tell you this, and even you didn't ask. "
"You kept so many secrets from me. Is there anything now that I don't know?" Ash asked with raised eyebrows.
" Yes, just one more thing, " Answered Red.
"And what is that?", Ash asked, still with raised eyebrows and gesturing him to continue.
"You see, I am also the head of international police, which also means that I am the head of security for all regions, from Kanto to Galar," said Red, looking nervously at Ash.
Hearing Red, Ash was so shocked that Delia and Red called Ash, but he didn't respond as he didn't know how to respond. He is the son of a king, an aura guardian, a world champion, and the head of international police.
"I think big brother is too shocked to respond," said Leaf.
{ Leave that to me }, said Pikachu, which of course only Red understood.
Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Ash, which was enough for him to get out of his shocked state.
"Pikachu, what was that for?" Ash yelled.
{Everyone was calling you, but you were not able to respond due to your shocked state, so I had to do something}, replied Pikachu.
"You know what, I will get revenge on you for this," Ash said angrily.
"What will you do?" asked a smirking Pikachu.
"Ok, so you're not getting any ketchup for this whole month," Ash replied, in the same tone as Pikachu.
{How dare you take my first love away from me}, Pikachu said angrily.
"And what about you keep on using thunderbolts on me?" said Ash.
"I only do it when it is necessary," replied Pikachu.
Ash and Pikachu were bickering while others, except Delia, were looking at them with amused expressions, as they had never seen a human and a Pokémon bicker like that.
"Both of them act like brothers, don't you think?" said Rosa in an amused tone.
" Yes, it seems like instead of us they are siblings. And they both look so cute while bickering, " Replied Leaf, giggling at both of them.
" I will not spare you, Pikachu," said Ash.
You will not be able to catch me, so don't even talk about sparing, Pikachu said as if challenging Ash.
" You wait, " replied Ash.
Saying so, both started running in the Dining Hall, where Pikachu was being chased by Ash. While Delia was just shaking her head while thinking, they both started again.
While others were not able to make it, they should think about them. Should they admire their bond or be strict about their table manners or just enjoy the show with popcorn?
While playing, or one can say while chasing, they both fell on the floor laughing maniacally.
"You know what, Pikachu, you've gotten faster than before," said Ash in a playful tone while laughing.
{Tell me something I don't know}, Pikachu said with a smug look.
" Now please, Pikachu, don't get cocky like Gary. One Gary is enough in my life," said Ash.
{Fine}, replied Pikachu.
"Ash, if you're both done, then come here and complete your dinner," Delia said in her strict motherly tone.
Hearing his mother's voice, he looked towards his family members, who, except for Delia, were still looking at both of them with amused expressions. Realizing what they were doing, both Ash and Pikachu were embarrassed and sat back at their seats.
"Hey, sorry for that," said Ash nervously while scratching his cheek lightly.
{Yes, I am sorry for what my trainer did}, said Pikachu, as if apologizing for his trainer's mistake.
"Pikachu", Yelled Ash.
{Sorry, I was just joking}, replied Pikachu.
"You know what, Ash, I've seen the bond of many people and Pokémon with each other. But the way you two behave, it's clear that you both have a unique bond that nobody can have," said Red in an impressed tone.
Both Ash and Pikachu looked towards each other and smiled.
"Now back to the point. As I was asking you, Rosa, did you get to know about those trainers?" said Red.
Hearing that Red was back, Ash began sweating, although except for Pikachu, nobody noticed.
" Yes, Dad. So firstly, it was a single trainer who was responsible for stopping all those evil teams. He, with the help of his Pokémon and friends, was able to achieve this," said Rosa.
" It's interesting for a single trainer to stop five evil teams. It's not a simple feat, so did you get to know anything else about this trainer, like his name or anything else? "
" Dad, I was not able to find his name, but I did get to know that the trainer is from the Kanto region and is usually seen with blue clothes and a red cap, " Rosa replied.
"Anything else?" asked a curious Red.
" Yes, one more thing he always had a Pikachu on his shoulders," Rosa said with a sly smile while looking at both Ash and Pikachu.
After hearing all the information, it didn't take long for everyone to find out that Ash was the trainer who was responsible for stopping all those evil teams.
"Ash, tell us the truth. Were you responsible for this?" asked Red in a calm tone.
" Wh ... why d...do y...you thi...think I wa...was re...respo...responsible for a...all of thi...this ", Ash asked nervously.
"If it wasn't, why are you getting nervous?" Delia said with some anger in her voice, along with care for her child.
"And secondly, what features Rosa said about the trainer match you perfectly," said Red.
" Yes, big bro and you are from Kanto, " said Leaf.
"And I made all your clothes, which were blue, and bought you red caps with them," Delia said with anger in her voice.
"And you have a Pikachu on your shoulder," Rosa said in a matter-of-fact tone.
" Fine, I am the trainer who stopped all those evil teams with the help of my Pokémon and friends," Ash finally answered.
"And you didn't even tell your parents about this? ", Yelled Delia.
"I knew you would be angry, that's why," Ash said while trying to remain calm and not get scared from his mother's tone.
{After knowing that you stopped all those evil teams, they are getting angry, then think what would happen if they got to know that you had died many times while trying to save people and Pokémon}, Pikachu said to Ash, which only Ash and Red understood.
"At this time, I should be happy that people can't understand what Pokémon are saying; otherwise, I was gone for sure," thought Ash.
"Pikachu, what are you telling is the truth?" asked Red.
"I think I spoke too soon," thought Ash.
"Did you understand what Pikachu said?" asked Ash curiously.
"Of course, being an Aura Guardian, I can understand what Pokémon are saying," replied Red.
"I'm gone now," thought Ash.
"Dear, what did Pikachu say?" asked Delia.
" Dad, please don't tell mom what happened, otherwise you'll all be attending my funeral in the evening, " thought Ash.
" Nothing much Delia Pikachu was just saying how he helped Ash to stop all those evil teams," said Red, as if saying nothing important.
" Aww, Pikachu, you are such a sweetie; you always help Ash," said Delia in her sweet tone.
{Thank you}, Pikachu said smirkingly while looking towards Ash.
"After dinner, meet me in the garden; I want to talk to you about something important," said Red.
"I think Dad is calling me to give a lecture on what Pikachu said," thought Ash.
"Ok, Dad," replied Ash, knowing he couldn't escape.
After dinner, Ash, with Pikachu on his shoulder, walked towards the garden with Red, while the others retreated to their rooms.
"Now tell me how many times you died exactly and then got alive again," asked Red.
" Five times I think, " Ash replied nervously.
" So, you died 5 times? " asked Red.
{Yes, and one of them was here in Rota}, answered Pikachu.
"Can't Pikachu be quiet for some time?" thought Ash.
"Ash, mind explaining what happened?" asked Red.
So Ash told his dad about all his adventures, which he hadn't told before, like meeting legendary creatures (Mew, Mewtwo, Moltrass, Articuno, Zapdos, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Latias, Latios, Regice, Regirock, Registeel, Regigigas, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Manaphy, Phione, Cresselia, Darkrai, Shaymin, Victini, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Thundurus, Landorus, Tornadus, Zekrom, Reshiram, Kyurem, Keldeo, Meloetta, and Arceus) and stopping evil teams.
Red was surprised that his son had met all the mythical and legendary creatures from Kanto to Unova.
" Ash, I wanted to ask you something else as well," said Red.
"What is it, Dad?", asked Ash.
"You are my son, Ash; I can see that something is still making you sad. I know you miss Serena, but there is something else that is making you sad, and I think I know what it is," said Red.
" When you told me yesterday how you lost in five leagues, I saw sadness in your eyes. Do you want to talk about it? " said Red in his fatherly tone.
Ash was surprised that his dad was able to find out that after losing five leagues, he was getting demotivated.
"You are right, Dad. I just couldn't figure out what it was that I lacked, which resulted in my defeat in the leagues," said Ash sadly.
"Yesterday, you told me about your leagues, but the truth is I watched every league in which you competed," said Red.
This again came as a surprise to both Ash and Pikachu, especially Ash. He was happy that his dad watched his league matches.
" So could you please tell me, Dad, what did I do wrong? " asked Ash, hoping for a yes.
"Sure, son," replied Red.
Ash smiled at his dad; he was happy to spend time with him, as well as to know what he lacked to win a league.
"First of all, in the Indigo League, you were somewhat overconfident, and despite knowing that Charizard doesn't listen to you, you used him in battle. Even if your other Pokémon weren't that strong at that time, you still had a chance to defeat Ritchie." Said Red.
" You are right dad ", said Ash while paying attention to his dad's words.
"In Johto, you lacked knowledge of Pokémon from other regions and didn't use your Pokémon's abilities properly."
"In Hoenn, you helped your Pikachu master iron tail, which is effective on rock and ground types. In the same way, you could have helped your other Pokémon master moves that would be effective in case of type disadvantages, like rockslide and dragon breath for Sceptile, thunder punch and shadow claw for Charizard, etc. to help with type disadvantages. You also didn't use your previous Pokémon in the Hoenn league," explained Red.
"But dad, if I use my previous Pokémon in the league, it wouldn't be fair for my Pokémon that I caught in that region," said Ash.
"Ash, it's totally fair. Think of it like this: You used your Hoenn Pokémon in your gym battles and are using only them in your league battle. What about your other Pokémon that are at Professor Oak's lab? Wouldn't they want to battle alongside you? By only using Pokémon that you caught in Hoenn, it makes it unfair for all your other Pokémon," explained Red, which got Ash to think about his decisions.
"In Sinnoh, I can say that you could have won if it wasn't for Tobias, but still, you didn't teach moves to your Pokémon, which would have been useful against type disadvantages," said Red.
"In Unova, you were acting overconfident again and somewhat childlike. Since you reached top 4 in Sinnoh, you believed you would be able to reach top 4 in Unova as well," said Red.
" Coming to think about it, I never thought anything at all about what you told me today," said Ash while thinking.
"Don't worry, Ash. Now try to improve yourself, and I know you will win your next league for sure. But remember not to get overconfident," said Red.
"Sure, and thanks, Dad," said Ash.
"No need to thank me, Ash. I know you can win for sure. Now go to sleep, otherwise your mom will blame me for keeping you up late at night," joked Red.
Red, Ash, and Pikachu all laughed at that, then went to their respective rooms. When Ash reached his room, he saw Rosa and Leaf there talking with each other. He was curious to know what they were doing in his room at that hour.
" Rosa, Leaf, what are you both doing here at this time? " asked a curious Ash.
Both of them smiled and replied in a sisterly tone, "We've come here to get to know our brother better."
Ash and Pikachu were first surprised, but then nodded, as Ash wanted to know more about his sister, so all four of them, including Pikachu, sat on Ash's bed.
"Ok, who is going to start first?" asked Rosa.
" I know, brother. Why don't you start by telling us how you got Pikachu as your starter? " asked an excited Leaf.
"Well, this is kind of embarrassing," replied Ash.
"Don't worry; everyone has some embarrassing moments in their life," said Rosa.
"Oh well, then here it goes," Ash said.
(Italics and underlined will be the flashback and normal lines will represent the present time and flashback will be from 3rd person's Pov)
Ash Ketchum a ten-year-old boy was watching a match between Nidoran and Onix at 11pm. When his mother barged into the room and told him to sleep as the next day, he is going to start his journey after receiving his first Pokémon from Professor Oak.
" Seriously, brother, you were watching TV until 11. You should sleep early," said Leaf.
" See who is saying this to me. If you don't know Leaf, it is 11:30 right now, so what are you doing by waking at this time? " asked Ash in a teasing tone.
" You caught me there ", said Leaf while sticking out her tongue.
"And what are you saying about Ash, who got late for getting his starter, because if I remember correctly, a certain someone was also late, but since she is the princess, she got the Pokémon she wanted," said Rosa in a teasing tone.
"Hey, this is wrong. You are teaming with each other to tease me," said Leaf with a cute pout.
"You look so cute with a pout," Ash and Rosa said as they both pulled one of her cheeks.
" Stop it, both of you," Leaf said while laughing with some pain.
As Ash and Rosa left Leaf's cheek, they all started laughing.
"Ok brother, you continue your story," said Leaf after she stopped laughing.
He went to sleep but by mistake broke his alarm clock while dreaming and slamming it into the wall and thereby waking up by its sound. He saw that he was late for picking his starter, so he ran to Professor's Lab in his night clothes where he runs into his rival and Professor Oak's grandson, Gary Oak.
"Now this is something that I have to ask as well: You seriously went to Professor's lab in your PJs," said a surprised Rosa.
Ash gave a nervous laugh while others chuckled at his antics.
Gary proceeds to taunt Ash for arriving late, and brags about having already received his first Pokémon. When Ash enters Professor Oak's lab to receive his Pokémon, he is told that all three starter Pokémon have already been taken. Ash pleads for any Pokémon, and Oak replies that he still has one left.
"I bet it was Pikachu," said Leaf excitedly, to which Ash just nodded.
"And that Gary seems like a jerk to me," said Rosa.
"He was, but now we are friends," said Ash.
"That Gary sounds kind of cute," thought Leaf.
Ash does not care and receives the Pokémon, which turns out to be the electric - type Pokémon Pikachu. Ash thinks that it is cute, but it gives him an electric shock when he picks it up to hug it. Oak gives Ash a Poke Dex and six Poke balls before he heads out on his journey to become the greatest Pokémon trainer of all time.
"Wow, what a rocking start!" said Rosa sarcastically, while Ash and Pikachu only gave nervous laughs.
Pikachu was feeling sad for shocking Ash at that time. Seeing Pikachu's expressions, Ash could tell what he was thinking. So, he said while petting Pikachu on his head, "Hey Pikachu, you don't have to feel sad; it wasn't your fault at all."
Pikachu just hugged Ash, then jumped on his shoulders, nuzzled his face, and made Ash laugh. Meanwhile, Rosa and Leaf admired their bond. After some time, Ash continued.
Ash soon comes to realize that Pikachu refuses to go inside his Poké Ball and prefers his independence. As Ash carries the reluctant Pikachu, he hopes that they can be friends, but Pikachu acts aloof and openly shows his distrust of Ash.
" So, Pikachu never liked to go in his Poke ball, " asked Rosa surprisingly.
" Yes, Pikachu hated Poke balls from the start, " replied Ash.
"But you know what, brother, it's still hard to believe that Pikachu didn't trust you at first. If anyone saw you two, they would say the same thing: that you two actually act like brothers," said Leaf.
"We have been through a lot, and it's just due to that our bond is stronger than ever," said Ash with a smile on his face, and continued with the story.
Just then, the two stumble upon a Pidgey in the wild, and Ash unsuccessfully tries to catch it by throwing a Poké Ball. Ash uses his Pokédex and finds out that in order to catch a Pokémon, a trainer must first use their Pokémon to battle it, thereby weakening it, to be caught by a Poké Ball.
" You should have known, that to catch a Pokémon you have to weaken it first ", said Rosa.
"Well, I was a rookie after all," said Ash.
With Pikachu being uncooperative, Ash tries to fight the Pidgey himself, but is easily beaten, which greatly amuses Pikachu. The Pidgey escapes and Ash finds a Rattata rummaging through his pack. He chases the Pokémon off as he hears cooing behind him. He turns to see several Pidgey gathered in the tall grass. Frustrated, Ash throws a rock at what he believes is the Pidgey.
" Brother, you should not throw rocks at Pokémon," said Leaf.
"I still regret that decision, Leaf, and I did such a thing only on that day," said Ash with his head down, regretting his actions.
However, it turns out to be a Spearow, which starts attacking after Ash threw a rock at it. Pikachu shocks Spearow, and in the process alerts a whole flock. The angered Spearow flock gives chase and eventually catches up and attacks Pikachu.
"Oh, my! You two were attacked by a flock of Spearow, it's very dangerous to escape them," said Rosa in a scared tone.
"Don't worry, sis; we're both fine," replied Ash.
Ash quickly grabs Pikachu and dives to a waterfall in order to escape from the flock of Spearow, and the two are fished out down river by a young Orange-haired girl, who tells Ash to take the injured Pikachu to the Pokémon Centre in Viridian City. Seeing the Spearow flock approaching, Ash escapes with Pikachu, taking the girl's bike.
Ash pedals quickly toward Viridian City, with the flock of Spearow following behind him. Ash loses control of the bike and collapses, crashing down a hill. Realizing Pikachu's condition is critical, Ash pleads him to go inside his Poké Ball so that Ash can protect him from the approaching Spearow.
"You risked your life to save Pikachu, now I know why he trusts you so much," said Leaf, while Rosa nodded in agreement.
Pikachu, after seeing how much Ash cares for him, performs a powerful Thunder Attack which drives the Spearow away, but also destroys the girl's bike. As the rain clouds part, Ash carries Pikachu into Viridian City, and Pikachu licks Ash's cheeks showing that he trusts in him now.
"Wow, the first day of your journey was actually very adventurous, and I bet if anyone made a film on it, then it would be a blockbuster," said Leaf, in a joking manner.
"Thanks, Leaf," said Ash and Pikachu.
"I must say I, too, don't think anyone else's first day of Pokémon journey would include adventure, suspense, thrill, and many more aspects," said Rosa while supporting Leaf.
"Thank you both of you; now it's your turn to tell me about your adventures," said Ash.
This way they exchanged stories about their journeys while Ash excluded the part of him meeting mythical and legendary creatures. Suddenly Leaf asked something which resulted in Ash coughing and Pikachu laughing, "Brother, you've traveled five different regions and met so many people, so have you found a sister-in-law for us?"
{He found your sister-in-law when he was just six} Pikachu said in between his laughs, although Ash was the only one who understood.
Seeing the reaction of Ash and Pikachu, Rosa and Leaf understood that he actually liked someone. They smirked, and Rosa asked teasingly, "You know what, Leaf? I think our brother has actually found our sister-in-law. Can't you see the evident blush on his face?"
Hearing Rosa, Ash blushed more while Leaf said, "Oh come on, brother, tell us."
" Fine, " said Ash. Both the girls were actually more excited than they were while hearing about Ash's journey. Ash then told them what he had told Pikachu. Both the girls squealed so loudly that Delia came barging into the room.
"What are you four doing at this time of night? I had told you to sleep, not talk," asked Delia angrily.
"Sorry, mom, we were just talking with our brother to get to know him better," replied Leaf.
"You could have done that in the morning," said Delia.
" Sorry, mom, " all three children replied.
After getting a good scolding from Delia, they all went to sleep while thinking about something. Ash was thinking that it would have been awesome if Serena could have been there with him for tomorrow. While the girls were thinking about how their future sister-in-law looked like. They thought to ask Ash in the morning if he could show them her photograph.
