Chapter 1: Arriving in Kalos.
It was 9:00PM in Lumiose City. The streets were lit and full of people looking at the shops, talking and playing with their Pokémon. A black limo drove down North Boulevard towards the Hotel Richissime, a 5-star hotel that was hailed as the best in the entire region. As the limo stopped in front of the entrance, paparazzi began swarming towards it, the flashing lights and clicking of cameras filling the air as the chauffeur opened the passenger door. After opening the door he bowed to the young man who exited the vehicle, only to nearly be knocked over as the paparazzi closed in even further to the young man, overwhelming him with questions.
"Mr Champion, what is it like to be back in Kalos?"
"What are you planning on doing in this beautiful region?"
"Can we get a statement from the Pikachu? I've never seen one!"
"What Pokémon do you intend on bringing to the main event tomorrow?"
The young man staggered backwards. He still wasn't used to having this much attention. He just wanted to get into the hotel and unwind as soon as possible.
"Ok! Ok! Please make way, I want to go to bed!" the young man replied, causing a brief moment of laughter before the onslaught of questions began again.
He took this opportunity to make a run for it, passing through the front doors and making a break for the reception desk.
"I have a reservation under the name 'Ash Ketchum'! Please hurry, I don't want to deal with them!" the young man asked frantically, looking over his shoulder as the paparazzi tried to get into the hotel, but were stopped by the doormen.
"Pika Pikachu!" seconded his yellow, furry partner Pokémon who was sitting securely on the young man's shoulder.
"Of course, Mr Ketchum" the receptionist replied as he quickly searched his database for the man's name.
"Here we are! Ash Ketchum! Room 127, floor 5". The man then turned around and picked out the key to Room 127 and then handed it to Ash, who was eager to just get up to his room and relax for a little while.
"Your bags will be upstairs shortly. We hope you enjoy your stay, Mr Alola Champion".
"Thank you very much!" shouted Ash, who was already over at the elevator, pressing the button for floor 5 as quickly as he could, nervously looking around for a paparazzi ambush.
Once the elevator arrived, Ash stepped in and finally took a sigh of relief along with his partner Pikachu, slumping back against the wall as he finally felt his body loosen up. It had been non-stop since he arrived at Lumiose City airport and he was finally happy to just relax for a while.
"Being champion can be pretty tiring, right Pikachu?" Ash asked his furry friend who had fallen onto the now 18-year-old trainer's lap, not responding due to exhaustion.
Just 5 months prior, Ash had become the Champion of Alola following the first Alola League where he almost lost to Guzma in the final, managing to secure the win in a heated final battle between Ash's Lycanroc and Guzma's Golisopod. After winning, he was crowned as Alola's first champion by Professor Kukui, the Alola League's head organiser, which was followed by a victory parade, press work and some more time spent in Alola with Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet. After this, Ash returned home to Pallet Town for a while, training with his Pokémon and attending a Parade through downtown Pallet (which had expanded massively since he originally left at the age of 10).
Ash got to see all of his old Pokémon again, reunite his former rival Gary Oak who couldn't have been prouder of his friend's achievements, but still proclaimed that he could beat him in a battle, despite being out of practice. He also got to see his Mother and mentor Professor Oak again, who were both crying tears of joy over Ash's success.
He had spent the last few months in Kanto, training at Professor Oak's Lab, occasionally doing interviews with talk shows and magazines. In this time, he got to meet with some of his former travelling companions, such as Brock (who was now a fully-qualified Pokémon Doctor), Misty (who was still responsible for the Cerulean City Gym and was still working towards becoming a Water Pokémon Master) Tracey (who was still helping out at Professor Oak's Lab) and Max (who had come to Kanto on his own Pokémon journey).
After a few months in Kanto, Ash agreed to return to Kalos for a friendly 6v6 Pokémon battle with the Kalos Champion Diantha, which would be taking place the next day. He was really looking forward to the battle (he was especially excited to battle her Mega-Gardevoir), but there was another reason Ash wanted to come back to Kalos. Serena.
Ash's real motive for returning to Kalos was to see Serena again, the beautiful Pokémon performer who travelled with him during his first time in Kalos. She had returned from her travels in Hoenn a few months prior to settle down for a bit before travelling again, renting an apartment in Lumiose City. Ash saw this is as the golden opportunity to see Serena again.
Ash and Serena hadn't seen each other since they kissed at Lumiose Airport when the left each other at 16. During his time in Alola, Ash developed a huge crush on Serena, knowing for certain that she liked him back. Ash had been following Serena on social media for quite a while now and had been regularly messaging her during his time in Alola, sharing pictures of their experiences in Hoenn and Alola with each other at least once a week.
Ash departed from the elevator with Pikachu at the fifth floor and quickly found his room. It had a king-sized bed, a mini-bar, a balcony and a 50-inch TV. All of Ash's luggage had been brought up. "This place isn't 5-stars for nothing" Ash thought as a lowered himself onto the edge of the bed, noticing Pikachu dive straight for the mini-bar.
"Hey buddy! I know the stuff in there is free but don't go nuts, ok?" Ash called as Pikachu started to help himself to a bottle of ketchup.
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu responded in a nonchalant fashion, beginning to consume the ketchup at break neck speed.
"Typical" Ash chuckled as he pulled out his phone and opened the messaging app, tapping on Serena's name and writing;
"Hey Serena! I'm booked into the hotel now, I'm in Room 127 on the fifth floor. I hope you can come tonight, I can't wait to see you again".
Ash sent the message and began to eagerly await her reply, turning on the TV and eating a banana from the mini-bar to ease the wait while Pikachu continued to snack on ketchup.
About half a mile away, a woman with honey-blonde hair smiled at her phone and composed a text;
"I'm on my way now. Will be about 10 minutes. Can't wait to see you x"
She then stood up and exited her apartment, running down the street towards North Boulevard.
"We will finally be reunited Ash" Serena thought excitedly with tears in her eyes. "I can finally see my love again".
A/N: (11/7/2019) So, how was that? I know Ash actually winning a League is completely incomprehensible but bear with me here! I have high hopes for this story and I have everything planned out, so be on the lookout for a new chapter in the next week!
Please leave a review! All feedback in appreciated!
See you in the next chapter!
