Ash heard the door open, and looked at Serena, astonished.

"S-Serena!" Ash said, blushing. She was wearing the exact Fennekin costume that she wore for the PokeVision video.

"What do you think of my second gift?" Serena already knew the answer, but she just wanted to hear it.

He just stared at her with a blank face, and Serena somewhat liked that answer instead, because that meant he was speechless. She kept giggling because he was trying to keep as much eye contact as possible. Serena walked over to him, and he stood up awkwardly. He kept his arms at his side, like he was an military soldier. She got closer to him, and whipped herself back around, and walked away.

"So..." Ash looked around the room, now trying to avoid eye contact. He walked towards her, and looked at her once again. She leaned her back against the wall, getting as far away from him as possible. He closed the gap, and kissed her on the lips. They were making out for a few minutes, before Ash put her hands against the wall above her. Her Fennekin ears fell off, but they didn't really notice.

Serena got control and pushed him on the bed, before they heard the door handle getting fiddled with. Serena jumped on the bed and covered herself in sheets, and Ash stood up and fixed his hair. The door cracked open, and in came a Pokemon.

"Pika?" Pikachu poked his head in, and looked around to see a very nervous Ash.

Ash sighed, "Hi Pikachu..."

"Pika!" He ran over and jumped on his lap.

"Did you enjoy the view?" Ash asked, remembering that Pikachu went out to look at the ocean.

"Pi!" Pikachu nodded, and jumped onto Ash's head.

"I'm glad... " Ash sighed once again.

Pikachu looked at the messy bed, and notice something slowly moving in it. "Pikachu?"

He jumped on the moving object inside, and pounced on it. "Pika! Pika-p!" He playfully followed the moving object, who was now getting tangled in the bed sheets.

"Pikachu!" Ash said, trying to grab his Pokemon.

"P?" Pikachu stopped, and looked questionably at Ash.

"Pikachu!" Serena said happily, she must of enjoyed messing with Pikachu.

"Pika p?" He dug up the covers, revealing Serena's head.

"PIKA!" Pikachu jumped back terrified. He then realized who it was, and scratched the back of his head embarrassed. "P...."

"Haha, sorry I scared you Pikachu!" Serena said, getting out of bed. Pikachu saw her Fennekin costume, raised an eyebrow, and looked up to Ash.

"Uh.." Ash scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Hehe." Serena smiled at the two, winked at Ash, and walked into the bathroom.

Pikachu and Ash sat in awkward silence before Serena came out in her pajamas.

Ash broke the silence, "So, do you want to open my last gift?"

"Sure. I feel a lot better already." She came over and sat next to Ash, and hugged his arm. He reached over with his free arm, and grabbed his gift. It was in a tiny box, wrapped in black paper, with a bright blue ribbon going across. She could hold it in her palm, it was that small. She opened it, and it flipped open. It revealed a gold necklace, with a heart shape at the end. It was a locket. She opened the heart, and revealed a picture of them as little kids, at Professor Oak's lab. She put her hand over her mouth and started to cry. She jumped on Ash and gave him the most loving hug ever. He put one of his hands on her lower back, and his other hand on the back of her head. They were laying on the bed, and Serena had her head on his chest.

"Ash... I didn't know you had a picture of us when we were little kids.." Serena said, sniffling a few times before looking up at him.

"I have had it this whole time. I keep my most prized possessions in my bag. I have kept that picture since Kanto, when I first set off on my journey." Ash also had a few tears in his eyes, probably from all the memories coming in right now. She stood up, and sat at the edge of the bed. She lifted up the back of her hair.

"Here, put it around my neck, I will wear this forever..." Serena said. Ash put the necklace around her, and clipped it in the back. She walked over to the mirror and held it up to see it. "It's beautiful Ash, this locket must of cost a fortune!" The locket was pure gold, Serena could tell it was expensive just by feeling it.

"Nah, before we went on the cruise ship I had my mother send over some money. She knows this relationship is important to me, so she gave it to me without a second thought." Ash said, now standing up. Serena gave him one last hug.

"Thank you..." Serena said quietly into Ash's shoulder.

"Anything for you Serena.. Anything.."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Serena woke up in Ash's arms, him hugging her from behind. She sat there, waiting for him to wake up. She reached up and held her necklace in her fist. Ash.. I love you so..

"Mmm... Serena.. You awake?" Ash said quietly from behind.

"Yeah." She backed up a little into Ash, to get closer. He squeezed a little tighter.

"We will be in Hoenn in a day.. Do you know what it's like there?" Ash asked from behind.

"No idea, I have been in Kalos pretty much my whole life." Serena said.

"Well, it's fun depending on where we are. I'm pretty sure I know where we will be staying. There are a lot of cute markets there, and a really nice beach."

"Sounds fun!" Serena responded enthusiastically.

"You wanna go get breakfast upstairs?" Ash said into Serena's ear.

"Yeah, i'm starving."

Ash started to laugh a little, "That's the first time I have heard you say that."

"Haha. I get hungry too you know." Serena said, while both of them got out of bed and tidied up the bedsheets.

"Yeah I know, just messing with you." Ash said, putting on his t-shirt and jeans. He slipped on his shoes, and then put his Pokeballs on his new belt.

"How do you like it?" Serena asked, looking at him wearing the belt she gave him.

"It's awesome! It fits my new outfit perfectly." Ash said looking down at it.

Serena got her Pokeballs out and started to put the fancy stickers on that Ash gave her. She carefully placed them, right above the button. She placed the fire sticker on Braixen's Pokeball first, and looked at it for a second. A smile grew on her face from the sight of the bright sparkle that now came from the Pokeball. She put the other two on and showed Ash.

"Thank you Ash, they are beautiful! They fit perfectly." Serena gave him a quick hug, and then put the Pokeballs back in her pockets.

"You know what I just realized, we haven't explored any other part of the cruise ship except for the front. There is a lot more to this ship, we should go get one of those big brochures that they have in the stores, I am sure we can find some stuff to do."

"Yeah, let's go do that, but first breakfast."

"Of course." Ash answered, and grabbed her hand and pulled her out the door.

"Pika!" Pikachu jumped on Serena's shoulder.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ash and Serena ordered breakfast, which was going to come to them in a few minutes. Ash and Serena sat at a small two person table, while Pikachu sat on the floor eating his Pokefood.

"Tomorrow we will be in Hoenn, then next up is Alola." Ash said to Serena with his fist pumped.

"I can't wait!" Serena giggled at his fist pump, and looked down at Pikachu. "So what kind of friends did you have there Pikachu?" Even though she asked Pikachu she really directed it at Ash, since you know, Pikachu can't talk.

"Well, there was Sceptile, who was a show off, and a Glalie, he played pranks on us a lot, and I usually ended up frozen. There was Torkoal, who was very emotional, and Corphish, who always dove straight into the battles without thinking, but he was actually really strong, defeating other Pokemon way bigger than him. Last but not least, Swellow. It was super determined, and never gave up till the very end." Ash winked at Serena at the last part.

"All of those Pokemon act a lot like you, except for Glalie. The determination, the strength, and all the other characteristics. They take a lot from you ya' know. You should be proud." Serena said, lightly smiling at her boyfriend.

"Yeah, I am proud of them I guess. Haha." Ash looked around the room, still waiting patiently for their food. "So if you were to go to another region besides Alola or Kalos, where would you go?"

Serena thought for a moment. Where would I want to go... I don't really know any other region besides.. Oh wait! "Kanto, I would love to see Professor Oak again. Do you know if he still does the summer camp?"

"I'm sure he does, he wouldn't stop something that important. It teaches you about Pokemon, and he would never give up on that."

Serena cupped her hands together and leaned forward on the table, listening to Ash. "So what about you?"

"What about me?" Ash raised an eyebrow.

"What region would you like to go to, or go back to?" Serena asked, very curious.

"Oh, right. Uhm." Ash put his hand up to his chin for a second, thinking about the question deeply. "Where would I want to go?" Ash said quietly to himself. He thought about his past journeys. They were fun, but I was missing something important the whole time. He then thought about his future with Serena. "I would go to any region, as long as i'm with you!" Serena smiled, and continued to lean on her hands.

"Here you go.." The waiter came over and placed their plates slowly on the table. Serena leaned back up and put the napkin in her lap. Ash also put the napkin in his lap. I can tell he is trying to be a lot more polite around me. I'm glad. Serena smiled at Ash, and started to eat.

Pikachu crawled under the table and sat in Serena's lap. He curled into a ball, and laid down. Serena looked at Pikachu in her lap. "Chaaaa."

"Hey there," Serena started to pet Pikachu in her lap.

"What's Pikachu doing?" Ash said before putting another piece of food in his mouth.

"Just sitting here," Serena said, pointing down towards her lap.

Ash peeked over the table to see Pikachu. "Haha, that means a lot you know."

"What do you mean?"

"The fact that he didn't come over to me, but instead went to you, is huge." Ash said, putting another piece of food in his mouth once again.

Serena looked at Pikachu. Wow, he must really care about me then.. Pikachu looked up at her, like he read her mind.

"Pika!" Pikachu squeaked. Serena laughed at this, and started eating again.

After they finally finished eating, they started to go over to the stores. Serena held Pikachu by supporting his legs with one arm under him, and another holding his body up to her chest.

"Now where are those brochures..." Ash said looking around. He saw a gift shop and headed in there. Serena followed close behind him with Pikachu. There was a tiny stand with multiple rows of brochures. There was some for Alola, some for Hoenn, and some for the cruise ship. "Ah, there we go."

"Grab all three, those could be helpful." Serena asked him. Ash grabbed all three. He put the Hoenn and Alola one away in his backpack, keeping the cruise ship brochure out. "So, what is there around here..." He skimmed through the pages. He went through the sections where it explained what to do on the front of the boat. He skipped that and went to the section where it showed middle of the boat. He looked at the two pages given to him about it. Serena scooted over to see it as well.

"Oh look! There is a small aquarium room!" Serena pointed to a spot on the brochure. "And it says there will be one of the Alola fish staying in there? That sounds interesting."

"Mhm, let's go!" Ash said, and started to run down the deck.

"Ash!" Serena yelled.

"Yeah?" He stopped and turned around.

"Wrong way." Serena and Pikachu face palmed.

"Oh, right. I knew that," Ash scratched the back of his head, and walked back over to Serena.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ash and Serena walked into the aquarium, to see maybe 10 glass cylinders of water, all holding fish.

"Woah..." Ash and Serena said simultaneously. Pikachu jumped out of Serena's arms and pressed his face against the glass. They looked around in awe, eyes glowing from how beautiful it looked. The seaweed flowed in the water, while tons of small water Pokemon swam inside. Ash looked at Serena, who's eyes were even more blue, and beautiful from the water. Ash stared into her eyes for a second, just enjoying the sight.

Serena wasn't looking at him really, she wasn't paying attention to him, but the fish tanks instead. She finally looked at Ash, who was just staring at her eyes. "Something wrong?"

Ash shook his head, and gained his composure. "Oh, uh, n-no. Your eyes are just-"

"Just what?" Serena put one of her hands on the side of her face, and looked at Ash. This reminded Ash of the time Serena wore the Nurse Joy outfit, she did almost the same exact movement.

Ash smiled, and grabbed Serena's hand, and continued to walk through the aquarium. "Beautiful." He looked at Serena and gave a grin.

Serena blushed, squeezing Ash's hand a bit more, and continued walked around the aquarium. They went up to one of the fish tanks.

"That's a Horsea, and a Remoraid! Wow, they have a Luvdisc as well? This place is awesome!" Ash pointed out every single Pokemon inside, and Serena couldn't help but laugh. He was like a little kid in a gift shop.

"Pika! Pika pika!" Ash heard Pikachu trying to get there attention. He was pointing at one of the fish tanks. They saw a pink fish in it. It seemed like it was all alone, probably so it would get the most attention.

"Wow, this must be the new Alola fish." Ash said, walking up to it.

"What does the sign say about it?" Serena asked.

Ash read the sign that was next to the fish tank. "Let's see, Bruxish; Bruxish emits a strong psychic power from the protuberance on its head." Ash interrupted himself, "Wow, a psychic Pokemon," He continued to read the sign, "It grinds its teeth loudly. When nearby Pokemon hear the sound of Bruxish's teeth gnashing, they sense danger and flee immediately."

"Wow, it sounds dangerous," Serena stated, and looked up towards the water Pokemon, "Looks dangerous too." The Pokemon snapped its teeth a few times, and Serena backed away a little.

"It's okay Serena, it won't attack. It's probably just showing off its power, kind of like Hawlucha." Ash said, trying to calm the slightly frightened Serena.

"Okay.. That makes sense." Serena walked forward again, and got closer to Ash, still slightly worried about it. I do not want to swim with that thing in the water.
