No POV

After an intensive battle between Ash and Alain. The gym has now come to an end as students heading out through the doors going to their next lesson. The gang came out and waited for Ash and Alain to arrive. For a couple of minutes they finally came out and saw them.

"Hey guys" Ash called out with Alain walking beside him towards them.

"Ashy-boy, another victory for the school champion" Gary praises with a smile. well knowing that his friend would win.

Ash laughs " Thanks Gary"

"So cuz, how did you two met" May questioned, which made the gang want to know how they did, wanting the answer from him.

"ash smiled and looked at Alain then back "well, for the time, me and Alain met at the battlefield and that's when we had a battle, but i lost so we ended out separate way. until we met again, but this time i won the match."

"so did you battle with Greninja" Misty spoke.

Ash nods "yep, we just kept battling, and that's all." he finished.

The gang nod in understand but Alain was looking at Ash. He was right that they battle every time but there was still more to be revealed. He didn't know why he told them short,was it because it was secret? why didn't he tell them more.

While they were talking,  Alain saw a glimpse of a girl, which was Mairin, who was completely staring at him which she notices and scurried away across the hallway. Alain wanted to go after her but he had to wait, maybe he will see her next class and they can start to talk to each other, get to more.

After their talk they went to their next lesson which was history with Mr Ramos.

................................

After a boring lesson, they now go to the cafeteria, sitting down the table with Alain as they now ask question towards him. He sweat dropped on how much he's getting like 'his charizard' and 'how did he get the mega evolution stone', so he answered each question which didn't take that long. 

There was still a smile on Dawn face as she glances at Serena then Ash, thinking of a plan to get them to together while Gary does the same, he wanted them to get to together with Dawn. however, Ash is dense as a rock so they have to work together otherwise it will all go wrong for both of them.

Until an idea popped into Dawn's head and respond.

"Hey Ash." she called.

"Yeah" he said and turned to look at her.

"I've been thinking, do you want to come to mall with me and Serena, you can also bring Gary over" she said with a smile but inside it was plan, a perfect one.

Ash thought about it for moment, there was nothing to do at home since his mothers is at job and his Pokemon may need gifts for their hard work. He glanced over at Gary who had unsure expression well he does hate going to mall so it's no big deal, then looked at Serena whose face was full of blush. Which he ignored it?

He looked at Dawn with a goofy smile "OK"

"Great" She chirps. making her plan come to action.

The bell rang across the area with students stood up from their seat and head out of the cafeteria, going into to their lesson.

.............................

After a great yet boring lessons.  Ash, Gary, Dawn and Serena head out the school gate and went straight to the mall. Which was all Dawn's idea anyway while Gary was talking to her at back with Ash and Serena at the front.

Serena had a blush face walking beside Ash who looked around the area of lumiose city seeing the view sight.

Gary begins to talk "why do we have to go to the mall"

Dawn shook her head. "er, excuse me. We are not they are"

Gary was confused at first but then realised what she meant. Knowing that he's not going to all, which he should that Arceus for that.

They walk through the street and arrived at the mall. Ash and Serena head inside with Dawn and Gary. Although, they have to escape at the right time in order for them to have the perfect date for themselves.

...........................

Throughout the time when you're having fun. The girls went shopping buying clothes for themselves while the boys were carrying their stuff which was really painful going around the mall. Ten times. they went different cloth shop and try out to wait for them to finish then  buying product.

Ash and Gary were picking up most of the bag. Serena and dawn were carrying some which was not a lot than the boys.

Dawn walked slower to arrive beside Gary as Ash walks beside Serena.

"Come on" Dawn mumbled, sneakily walking out, trying not to get the attention for both Ash and Serena.

Gary nods in understand and walks away with Dawn, out of sight from the two.

Serena was daydreaming around the mall looking at fashion and fountains until moving her head to see Ash beside, then looked behind to see neither dawn nor Gary. A sudden thought popped in her mind. Since the two were now gone, it was only her and Ash left.

A blush was formed on her face. She was alone with him like a date, well it's a dream come true for her.

Ash now looks at Serena, seeing she had a red face "hey Serena why are you blushing"

Serena completely heard this and shrieked a little with a fright jump, she quickly turned around,  hiding her full red face, not letting Ash to see it. Which he was now confused. But ignored it as they were now near to the exit of the mall.

They head out and on to the park, where night was dark and the full moon was glowing at the dark, it was wasn't that bright from the day. There was some pokemon hiding behind the bush while others went running around by going into somewhere where they would sleep peacefully.

Ash and Serena were beginning to walk in the park but they were being watched by two people which are Dawn and Gary, they're plan was now working, well Dawn plan.

"Yes my plan is working" Dawn said in enthusiasm as she sees Ash and Serena walking beside. But there was one final part she has to do, which was the confession for the love, she wanted Serena to confess but Ash is dense so he she has to make it better in order his friend not to get heartbroken.

Gary knew Ash from the start thinking the same, if this goes on when they confess. Then both of them will be ashamed, so they went out and start making a another scheme for the two.

With Ash and Serena, they were now heading out of the park. However Serena had one mind up her sleeve. Since both of them are alone. She wanted to confess her crush right now but....she is afraid of rejection. She know he's dense, well technically, she was shocked that he knows blushing which was unusual.

Although, Ash too has been thinking throughout the day, he wasn't thinking about Serena....it was that girl he met at summer camp where he first had a crush. He didn't who it was or even knows her.

Ash wanted to find out but too late, she went away from kanto which made him sad and heartbroken. After some years, he waited for her to come back but there was no sign. There were other girls that confessed their love but he rejected them, wasn't their type of interest because there was someone on his mind that he really loved.

Ash does remember the girl had blue eyes, pale skin and long honey blond hair which is exactly the same as Serena, but now her hair is shorter. Unusual, he wanted to know why the girl left kanto and why didn't she come back? Thoughts were beginning to run through his mind when suddenly there was soft voice that made his thoughts break.

"Ash" the person called out.

Ash stop[ed in his tracks, ending the line of exiting the park. He whirled around and saw Serena who too stopped, in a couple of meters away from each other. There was a long silent with wind blow lightly at the trees which didn't made a sound at all, also Pokemon were inside their homes or bushes going to sleep for the night.

Ash's auburn eyes were gazing at Serena who had her head down, covering the face from the shadow hat. He didn't know why she was acting like this. Did he made her cry?. But then her head moves straight up, facing directly her sapphire eyes to him.

"Ash i wanted to say that...." she paused for a quick second, taking a deep breath giving out the love and need "i love you" she confessed.

Those words floated and echoed in Ash's head and ears. His auburn eyes were widened in shocked. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, Serena confessing her love. Why did she confess? He was about to say no... but instead. couldn't get his mouth to speak up; it was like his throat was blocking all the words and body was freezing as an ice.

On the other hand. Dawn and Gary heard the confession as they now see the scene in front of their eyes,watching the romance take place.

Gary knew Ash is dense but was surprise that he didn't say one word, although he still felt that this will get wrong and end up in wrong situation while Dawn was looking suspiciously at the two, desperately waiting for the reply from Ash who was now opening up his mouth then closed it shut.

He didn't know what to say, his mind was blank like a piece of paper. What could he say? He was now in a crossroad between his crush since childhood and Serena who has now confessed her love.

"Ash" Serena said, breaking his thought.

Ash looked at her, giving out a smile, when suddenly a memory flooded inside him. Revealing him helping an injured girl up from the muddied ground. When he first took a glimpse, she was more like Serena. With realisation, he finally realised that the girl, he helped since summer camp and the one he had his first crush...was Serena.

"what shall i do" Serena thought with decision going through her mind as she looks at the daydreaming Ash. "should i go....no that would be rude....but he won't realise"

She slowly starts walking up to him, ignoring the questions from her head and leans forward for the kiss while tip toeing up, closing her sapphire eyes shut by tilting the head for a better angle with soft pink lips glistened, her sweet scent breath was hitching out with a beating heart.

There was nothing that can stop them? nothing can get in their way and nothing to interrupt... until.

Ash broke from his thoughts, getting back to reality and instantly saw Serena leaning in for the kiss towards the lips, he was shocked at first of why she is moving her head close, feeling her breath which didn't smelt bad at all, it almost smelt like mint. Soon, He gently placed one finger on her soft lips making her pause from leaning in. 

Serena slowly opened her eyes to see Ash looking into hers, she didn't know why he had stopped, was it because he didn't the kiss? However the next 3 words struck her.

"I love you" he murmured under his warm breath that breathed away from his mouth. 

Serena sea-blue eyes were wide opened in surprise. Ash slowly puts his arm down and now leans forward as he connects the lips into a loving but romantic kiss, feeling the overwhelm surrounding with pain and fear washing it wave away.

Serena was blushing madly from the unexpected but soon gives out the love that she always wanted from the start, and that was her crush's kiss. she too felt overwhelmed, with her fears from Calem were disappearing, now revealing the love of Ash, replacing his jar of hearts onto hers.

Dawn and Gary saw the scene. Bright smiles where on their face as they saw the couple finally confessed their feeling. Dawn was happy for her friend while Gary was too, that his friend was out from his dense shell.

When they departed the kiss, they gently touched their forehead, looking into each other eyes. Ash knew her eyes were from his childhood crush so he began to speak up, beating Serena from opening her mouth.

"Serena, i didn't first realise that you were the girl that i saved you but...now that you're here. I want to say this before you left at summer camp. I want to say that i...love you too. When i first met you camp. You were cute than any girls that i have met and you will always be my girl from the start till the end, and i want you Serena Yvonne, will you be my. Girlfriend" he confessed soothingly.

Serena was shocked with happiness swelling in. she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Tears were overflowing her making it drip down to the ground before making a non-sound splash. She gave a node.

"Yes" those floated word went into Ash's ears.

He smiled widely, achieving that he had finally found his love and gives another kiss to Serena as they both make out under the glowing moonlight making it a perfect view of a romantic scene.

After a minute, they was clap sound from the background almost like an applause.

Serena and Ash stopped kissing and looked over the shoulder to see their friend having smiles on the faces.

"Good job Ashy-boy" he said, giving an old pat on Ash's shoulder even Dawn who was now squealing like a fan girl. 

"You two are adorable and it's romantic" she commented. Causing both Ash and Serena's cheeks to blush in embarrassment and soon realise that they were being watched.

"You were watching!" Serena exclaimed her blush was rising all over her face.

"Of course we were, why we wouldn't miss a romantic amour scene" Dawn said with a cheeky smile.

"Good job Ashy-boy, never knew you broke out that dense shell of yours" Gary said.

Ash looked at him in confusion "huh, I'm not dense"

Gary signed "never mind, but hey if you need help with lady stuff. Ask me. Mr Gary freaking oakster." he said.

The three sweat dropped of his reaction but soon ignored as they now head out of the park with Ash and Serena holding hand while Dawn and Gary were talking to each other in front. successfully making them a couple.

They finally arrived at their houses, both waved goodbye to each other with smiles and head inside their own homes.

Serena was really happy that she is in a relationship with her childhood hero and crush. Even Ash, finding out Serena was her childhood dream girl and now he's her boyfriend.

Both of the couple were now excited for tomorrow, wanting to tell to other people.

But will their relationship last for long or be broken by someone else?
