Chapter 4: An Affectionate Reunion

                                    

                                          

Serena Pov
'Clemont told me to come to Prism Tower. I don't know why, but that's the point of a surprise, am I right, Delphox?'
Delphox! said Delphox.
'*chuckles* I wonder what the surprise is.' I said. 'Maybe it could be a party! Or a cake! Or-' I stopped. 'A-Ash...' 'Knock it off, Serena. There's no way they would surprise me with Ash! He's still in Kanto! R-Right?' I stayed silent during the rest of the monorail. 'Oh, hey, that's the same plane I took back here to Kalos! What a coincidence!' After waiting a few minutes for the monorail to arrive, I ran towards the entrance of Prism Tower, until I heard someone calling me. I didn't bother turning around, until...
'Serena!' I couldn't believe what I heard. Was it really him? I turned around, only to see him. Ash. Ash was here.
Ash's Pov
I was running towards Serena, until she turned around. 'She looks...beautiful.' I thought to myself. Serena! Hi! Serena didn't have a reaction. 'Serena-' I felt her arms hugging me.  'A-Ash! I missed you so much! She said while hugging me, trying not to cry. 'I never thought you'd be back! I-' I hugged her back, while running my fingers through her hair.  Why do I feel...whole again? Was Serena actually what I was missing?  I didn't know what to do anymore, so I just hugged her even harder.
Serena's Pov
'W-Wait! Is Ash...doing that? Is this the same Ash? Is he not dense?'  I had so many questions, when I saw a certain lemon-haired boy and his sister walk out of Prism Tower. 'Eee! They're hugging! That's so cute! I ship it.' I heard Bonnie say in the distance. 'Bonnie, what does "ship" even mean? asked Clemont. 'You should know, big brother.' Clemont was confused. Ashy just said 'Huh?' when he heard Bonnie and Clemont talking. We stopped hugging, much to my disappointment. 'Clemont, Bonnie! Hi, guys!' He said. 'Hey, Ash!' said Clemont, while I tried to catch up to them. 
I heard you became Monarch, Ash! Said Bonnie. 'You bet I am!' said my Ashy, in his usual cheery attitude. 'You did?! Congratulations, Ash!' I said. 'Thanks, Serena!' He said, while...blushing? The dense Ash, is blushing? Is this a dream? I thought to myself. I unsurprisingly started to blush too. 'Does Ash... like me? No, no, he's too dense for that. Or...does he?' She was thinking, when a familiar lemon-haired girl came and asked Serena something.
'Hey Serena, are you and Ash a thing?' I became redder than a Tamato Berry. 'NO! WE'RE NOT!' I said. 'If you say so...' said Bonnie. Ash was confused. 'Hey, Serena, what happened to you? You look really red.' He asked, as I was thinking if this is the real Ash. 'Nothing!' I said. 'Are you sure?' He asked. 'Was this...really Ash? Did he finally outgrow his dense shell? I thought to myself. 'Yea! I'm sure!' I said. 'Ok, Serena.' He said. 'Looks like someone isn't dense anymore.' said Bonnie, as we went into Prism Tower. But then I felt something touch my hand. I couldn't believe it. ASH was holding my hand. I tried my best not to blush as we walked deeper into Prism Tower, while holding our hands.
We admired the upgraded Prism Tower, and no, Ash did not stop holding my hands, until he noticed he accidentally held my hand into Prism Tower and let go, looking embarrassed as Bonnie's eyes widened. 'Serena...are you sure you and Ash are not a thing?' I blushed. 'N-No, we're not a thing. Yet.' I specifically said yet more silently so Ash wouldn't hear it. 'So, when are you planning to let him know, Serena? asked Bonnie. Clemont interrupted. 'B-Bonnie, that's none of your business!' Ash's eyes widened. 'What are you guys talking about? I heard my name there.' 'N-NOTHING IMPORTANT!' I said while still blushing harder than before. 
Ash's Pov
What were those three talking about? I knew I heard my name there. I turned around to see we had made it, gazing at the new and improved battlefield. Anything in my mind was deleted, and replaced in exchange for this one question: 'Hey Clemont, you up for a battle?' I asked. 'You bet, Ash.' said Clemont. 'Here they go already...' said both Serena and Bonnie. 'Hey Clembot, could you be the referee?' I asked. 'Affirmative, Ash.' said Clembot. 'This will be a 3 on 3 battle where each trainer uses three Pokémon each. Are you ready?' '3, 2, 1, Battle!' said Clembot. 'Krookodile, come out!' I said. 'Go, Magnezone!' said Clemont. They were ready to battle.
