Ever since Ash and Serena began dating , well to be summarised Serena was more than happy and as for Ash , same could be said but he had little bit of concerns here and there with Serena having no regard for his privacy and coming anytime in his room and training.

That wasn't exactly comfortable with Ash but he wasn't exactly sure how to tell her in a nice way. So he was quiet but Pikachu knew better. Oh !well things were going good between them nontheless with walking hand to hand to casual peck .

It has been three months since Ash won the Clevan league and became a champion. He had started battling trainers to get higher and higher in ranking and was currently at 978. But still he had a long way to reach in top 300 let alone be no 1.

While Serena had been participating, she lost in final rounds of Pokemon Annual contest . But next time, she was more than determined to win.

Ash woke up groggily in his room and quickly got ready for new day. Serena was already eating at table when he arrived at cafe in Pokemon center.

"Hey Serena. Good morning." Ash waved to her as she waved back. Yes! They were together but not like that much as to sleep together.

"So listén Ash ! I am thinking that today after your battle , we could go on a date at a good restaurant I have seen in this city amd have a whole evening together?" She said blushing at the thought.

"Oh ! Thay sounds great , Serena.But I have to meet a friend to whom I have been interacting for past few weeks through my Pokemobile . So would it be ok if we shifted it a bit for now?" Ash asked eating eggs .

"Ya sure." Serena made a straight face but was disappointed inside. But she didn't want to force Ash ...she was hoping he would ask her out himself naturally but so far , on few dates they went so far were only possible because Serena insisted and asked him to . Otherwise even after Ash had said, he wanted to be with her , he was only interested in food and Pokemon matches. Not that she was complaining to him and ranting it all out to him . No ! That would put both of them in awkward situation .

Ash departed for his match as she pouted and went back to her room to gather her belongings .

"Serena! You have a down face again. Just tell him that you aren't exactly comfortable with it ?" A girl said as she entered her room.

"Sorry Korreina. I guess i just don't want him to feel that I am asking him for too much or ..." Serena began as Korreina looked at her sighing.

(Korreina is yes the same one from kalos region . She recently met the duo and decided to accompany them for a while . Naturally both Serena and Korreina slept in same room.).

"I am just gonna give him some time. I am sure he will think about us too ." Serena giggled gushing at thought. Korreina sighed. If only Ash was that clever as to know social cues , then this wouldn't have been happening for past two weeks.

Korreina decided enough was enough and if Serena wasn't gonna say anything to him, she had a few things to get off her chest.

Ash was quite busy training. Now that he had moved up in his ranks , opponents were only gonna get tougher and tougher and he certainly needed a practice.

He had been in contact with a trainer from different region.

"Hey Ash ! I presume." A blue haired girl with brooch in middle almost like dividing her hair into two came .

"I am glad you were able to make it here . Let's get in with training." Ash smiled as Pikachu climbed up on shoulders eagerly.

Korreina had hard time finding Ash partly because he was so ahead and she didn't Ino exactly where she was supposed to go . Either way , it was evening by the time she found Ash and abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Wait !Ash was with another girl . A blue haired . Hmm . Oh well ! Maybe it is just for training . Korreina gud behind a wall watching them as the girl put arm around Ash and he chuckled.

Korreina was baffled. She hurried back to her room to report to Serena .

"Wait ! Dawn was there. Cuz I could understand her being clingy with Ash even though he has certainly told her he isn't interested.", Serena fumed.

"No ! It wasn't Dawn . I have seen her in your photos. It was completely different girl and Ash seemed to be quite enjoying in her company. I jean she even put arm around him and ..." Korreina stopped herself as Serena's face was getting paler.

"I am sure it is nothing, Serena. They might just be good friends." Korreina nervously consoled her .

"If she was , then why would come out and tell me about her and all this specifically?" Serena crushed a card she was carrying for their date in her hands.

"I am sure Ash of all people isn't cheating on you ." Korreina smirked and instantly regretted as Serena briskly ran from room .

By time she arrived to Ash , the other girl had already left .

"Hi Serena! " Ash said as Pikachu climbed on his shoulders.

"Ash ! We need to have a talk . About our relationship." Serena raised her eyes as Ash gulped at her glare.

As the journey continues.
