Hello everyone! I'm back with an Amourshipping Fanfiction. First of all, I will address the AmourHaters - Thou shalt not pass! If you're here to troll people who just want to read the fanfiction, I plan to completely dismember your statements and then block you, so everyone can enjoy reading the reviews, so, have fun with that.

To the rest of you - this story will be based on a 3rd 1st person, basically meaning it will be an overview of everyone, but focusing on one person in particular. In this chapter it will be Serena. I may do 1st person accounts should I think the fanfic needs it, but we'll see how it goes.

The idea of this is to put Ash and Serena through a series o events that I would completely put them through if I actually had writers power in the series, and Amour reactions to it. I'll also be bringing in a couple if OC's, and a couple of Ash's Pokemon, like the few who had very little screen time (So that's pretty much Palpitoad defiantly coming up)

If you're still with me, and still liking the description, then without further ado, lets begin!

Another glorious day in the Kalos region saw Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie on their journeys to Ash's next gym battle. However, no matter how wonderful the weather is, it always takes its toll on travellers, so an exhausted Ash and company decided to take a quick lunch break.

"Man, it's hot." Ash said, his upper body laying out on a fold up table. Clemont had often gone on to Ash about how that would only make him hotter, due to surface area and other scientific words, but it had fallen on deaf ears.

"It is unusually warm for this time of year." Clemont commented.

During their breaks, Serena had often found herself watching Ash. She felt her heart throb, and her face go red when she did so. The only person she had really been honest to was herself. She had a massive crush in Ash, and only she knew. She hadn't even told her one and only Pokemon, Fennekin.

Everything about Ash amazed her. His bravery had been shown to her before she even recognised him, when she watched him rescue a Garchomp, and threw himself to almost certain doom by jumping off the Lumiose tower to save Pikachu.

Outside of that, he was kind and gentle too, showing his love for his Pokemon friends. He was always happy to teach Serena the ways of things, like when he taught her how to fish.

Plus, he had aged well since she saw him when they were kids... Serena blushed. She shouldn't be thinking such things right now, surely someone would notice if she went red. She shook off her blush and looked back to Ash.

Ash was waiting for Clemont to finish cooking, and had struck up a conversation with him, regarding the Pokemon he caught on previous journeys.

"You're seriously telling me," Clemont asked, amused "you caught 30 Tarous by accident?"

Ash sweatdropped, scratched the back of his head and chuckled "Yeah. Long story short, there was a safari park in Kanto, and whenever I made tried to make a catch, a Tarous just jumped in the way."

Clemont laughed. "I'd have to see it to believe it."

"In that case." Ash said, reaching into his backpack, producing a large book. it had a big brown cover on it. "Take a look then."

Clemont stepped away from his cooking to see what was in the book Ash had pulled out. Inside was an alinement of photos, one of which showed all of Ash's Tarous in their herd.

Clemont was amazed, though still amused "Wow. I guess seeing is believing. You took these?"

"No, not me. Well, a few, but lots of them were just matter of circumstance, really. I think it's nice, just having a few memories with me like this."

"Bonnie, Serena, come look at these!" Clemont called, waving them over to see.

Bonnie and Serena walked over, seeing the pictures Ash had in his book.

"Lots of Tarous!" Bonnie yelled, excited. "They're so cute!"

"Those are all Ash's." Clemont said, as if he had figured that out on his own.

"You caught a whole herd of Tarous?" Serena asked, amazed. Not only were Tarous not exactly the most common Pokemon in Kalos, catching one was often reported as difficult, and here was Ash, with a whole here of them!

"Long story." Ash smiled, whilst sweat dropping. "Well, as long as I'm showing off, here, have a look at this one."

He turned his book to the final page that had photos. It had the picture Ash had had taken of him and all his Pokemon after returning from Unova. To the side of the photo were pictures of Squrtile and Primape, the only two Pokemon Ash owned who weren't in the picture.

The reaction by his companions was mainly one of shock. There were so many Pokemon, of species that very few resided in the Kalos region. They seemed to tell their own stories, and showed off just how much Ash had traveled.

Bonnie's eyes sparkled, and she giggled.

"A-Are these all your Pokemon?" Clemont asked, tripping up on a few of his words.

"Each and every one of 'em. " Ash said with a big grin "The Squirtle and Primeape are mine too" Ash said, pointing to the pictures to the side. "They just don't live at the Lab."

"There are so many Pokemon here it's unbelievable!" Serena said.

"What Pokemon is this?" Bonnie asked, pointing at a few of Ash Pokemon.

"That's my Oshawatt. He was a piece of work" Ash said, laughing at the memories of various antics Oshawatt had gotten up to.

"I've never seen that Pokemon before." Serena said, pointing at another species.

"That's my Gliscor. " Ash replied. "He really had a problem with flying before he evolved from a Gligar. And even then, he liked to land on my head." He rubbed the back of his neck, remembering Gliscors habit of crushing him.

Clemont seemed to be scanning the photo "Don't you have any other electric type Pokemon?"

"'Fraid not. I always bring Pikachu along, so I haven't had a reason to catch any other electric types." Ash said, explaining his reasoning to Clemont. "Pikachu's my only electric type."

Clemont sighed "That's disappointing. I would have liked to see another regions electric types. Not that there's anything wrong with you, Pikachu!"

"Pika Pika Chu." Pikachu sighed, sweat-dropping.

During dinner, Bonnie kept repeatedly asking Ash to tell her which species of Pokemon were, as she kept looking at all the photos all through their meal.

"That's Heracross." Ash said, answering the 10th question in a row. "It's a bug and fighting type. He's the first Pokemon I caught in Johto."

"Coooooooool!" Bonnie squealed.

"Bonnie, I think Ash has answered enough questions for tonight." Clemont said.

"Honestly, its no problem, Clemont." Ash said. Really though, he hadn't gotten much chance to eat, and he was starving. There was little worse than having food in front of you and not being able to eat it.

"I wanna look at Ash's Pokemon some more!" Bonnie squealed.

"I could flip through it with her in our tent before we go to sleep, if you don't mind, Ash" Serena suggested, so that Ash would finally be able to eat some of his food, and Bonnie would get to see the Pokemon as well. It was a win-win.

"That's fine with me." Ash said with a smile, causing Serena to blush lightly. Ash immediately began to eat, at last. It was a bit cooler than everyone else's had been, but at this point, Ash didn't care.

"Yippieeee!" Bonnie cheered, throwing her hands into the air, and almost falling off her seat.

"Careful." Clemont chipped in, raising an eyebrow towards Bonnie.

Before long, the moon had come up, and everyone had decided to get ready to sleep.

"'Kay, Hawlucha, return." Ash said, recalling his Pokemon into it's Pokeball. After doing so, he picked up his Photo album and went over to Serena. "Here, you said you were going to flip through it with Bonnie, right?"

Serena looked inside her and Bonnies tent. She saw Bonnie already asleep, next to Dedenne, snoring away. "I think Bonnie's already asleep." Serena chuckled. "But, if you don't mind, um, could I still look through it?"

"Sure thing." Ash said, handing over the book with a smile.

Again, Serena found herself blushing, taking ahold of the book. "Thanks."

"Oh, and thanks for offering to show Bonnie the photos during dinner. I don't think I'd have been able to eat at all if you hadn't." Ash said with a laugh.

"N-No worries!" Serena said with a blush.

"Well, I'll be seeing you tomorrow, then." Ash said with a yawn, before residing to his tent.

Serena smiled to herself. He usually had so much energy during the day, and then, after all his training, when night had come, it's like he powered down and went into sleep mode.

Serena then retreated to her own tent, changed into her night cloths, and sat in her sleeping bag, sleepy, and opened the photo album of Ash's.

She was amazed at how Ash had aged during his travels. According to the photos dates, which were the same time Ash was in Kanto, he looked so different. Different clothes, different hairstyle, even his facial features had changed, but it was still her Ash.

Her ash?

Serena went dark red. She didn't remember when he went from being just Ash to 'Her Ash', but when she thought if it, an image of Ash and her as a married couple crept into her mind.

She tried to shake the images from her head. Her feelings for him had only grown over time.

She returned to flicking through the pages. There were a lot of pictures of when he had caught a new Pokemon, or won a gym badge.

"That's just like him." She smiled to herself. "Pokemon battling on the brain."

She spent a lot of time looking through the photos, until she had reached the final picture, the same one Ash showed them at dinner. She then looked at her electronics for the time.

Yikes! Late!

Well, she was going to be tired tomorrow.

Just as she went to put the book down, she noticed a few pictures hanging out from between the pages. Had she missed a few, or had Ash just not put them in properly?

She opened the book again, to find some pictures she had missed after all.

Pictures of girls.

Serena just stared at them, for she didn't know how long. She just stared at the strangers she had never, and probably would never meet. There was one with Brown hair, and another with blue hair, wearing a white hat, with a Piplup in her arms. Now that she thought about it, Ash had mentioned something about a Piplup before, hadn't he? She felt a sadness pierce her heart.

Were one of these his... Girlfriend?

No, surely that couldn't be possible. If that were the case, wouldn't they still be traveling with him? And Ash would have mentioned her at least once, right?

That didn't help ease the pain though. Even though she was convinced that none of these girls could be his girlfriend... Why wasn't there one of her?

"I mean..." Serena said, talking quietly to herself. "It's not like I've seen him with a camera... But..." She looked into her bag, located by her bedside, pulling out her precious picture that had been taken while Korrina was still with them. "... Ash has a copy of this, doesn't he... Why didn't he put this in?.. It's not as though he could keep that in his pockets the whole time..."

Serena decided to put the book down and go to sleep. She knew there was no real reason to drive herself insane about this. Still, as she laid there, trying to fall asleep, she found these thoughts circling her mind, tormenting her.

Did she actually have a chance at all? She thought of everything that she had tried to do to tell him. Her most notable moment had been her in that Fennekin cosplay. That had at least sparked a reaction from Ash, albeit be him staring at her wearing about half as much as she normally would, but it was something.

Now though, she wondered it that had been a wasted effort. The girls in those photos seemed to like Ash as much as she did. It was obvious to someone who wasn't so oblivious. Then again, this was Ash. Serena didn't like to think like that, but it was true. He wasn't stupid, by any means. But he wasn't very perceptive, that much was a given. But there was something about the girls In those photos that she lacked. It was confidence. They all looked so confident in themselves, something which Serena had little of. Evidently though, it was obvious none of them had had the confidence to tell Ash how they felt about him.

"So." Serena said with a sigh. "I'll just have to be the first one to have that confidence... Oh lord, help me". It was far easier said than done.

"I love Ash." Serena said, blushing to herself. "I just love him so much... I can't stand it..."

The next morning, during breakfast, Serena pondered over what she had seen in the photo album. She knew she needed to get the bravery to tell Ash how she felt before she lost her chance forever.

But finding that bravery was hard. She remembered all the hints she had dropped him since she had seen him again. If Ash had a least picked up one of them, that would make everything so much easier. But that hadn't happened quite yet.

Maybe it would be easier to just try talking with him, and see what happens from there?

"Man, this is delicious, Clemont." Ash said, while he was stuff stuffing himself with food.

"Hawl! Hawlucha!" Ash's Hawlucha said, agreeing with his trainer.

"Looks like Hawlucha agrees with you" Serena said, smiling.

"Well, with food like this, I'd be surprised if anyone disagreed." Ash smiled back. "Thanks, Clemont."

"You really are too kind." Clemont laughed.

After breakfast, Ash decided to train with Hawlucha, since they were still getting used to one another.

"Alright Hawlucha, Use Karate Chop, and aim for that X mark on that tree, lets go!" Ash commanded.

"Haw!" Ash's Pokemon responded, and, using its incredible speed and power, leapt towards its target, striking it head on, landing a perfect hit.

"Way to go, Hawlucha! Keep that up and no one'll be able to stop you!" Ash said, congratulating his Pokemon on its perfect attack.

Serena wandered up behind Ash, clutching the photo album that she was going to return to him. She stopped for a while, watching Ash train. Though he had only caught Hawlucha recently, the two of them were getting along great. That was partly down to Ash's amazing ability to get to know any Pokemon on their level, and treat them as friends and equals. Just another thing to add into the list of things that Ash did well, and Serena admired about him.

"Ash?" Serena said, walking up to him holding the album in her hands.

"Huh? Oh, hey Serena." Ash said. He then knelt down so he was on the same height level as Pikachu and Hawlucha. "Take a quick break, guys."

His Pokemon ran off, underneath the shade of the trees, to cool down as Ash and Serena spoke. "What's up, Serena?"

Serena held up the book. "I just wanted to give this back to you."

Ash took a hold of the book. "Thanks Serena. Was it all it was cracked up to be?"

Serena nodded "Yeah. It was really interesting seeing you when you first started traveling. You've changed a lot since you began your journey."

"I guess I have." Ash smiled.

"And it looks like you made a lot of friends." Serena said casually.

"Yeah, I have." Ash said.

Serena felt her heart quicken as she spoke her next few words. "A lot of friends who are girls... Are they..."

Ash stared at Serena for a few seconds before the message she was getting at finally clicked in. To Serena's surprise, Ash seemed to go a darkish pink colour. "N-No, no way! I don't have a girlfriend!"

To be honest, Serena was surprised Ash understood what she was going for at all. She half expected to have to spell it out to him. Serena felt a wave of relief wash over her.

"I'm kind of... Dense, with stuff like that." Ash admitted, scratching his cheek, a habit he had when he was nervous.

'You don't say?' Serena thought. "At least you're honest." She said aloud with a giggle and smile.

"Uh, W-Why do you ask?" Ash asked. For the first time in her memory, Serena was seeing Ash stutter and trip up on his words.

"Oh, just curious." She replied, trying to casually shrug off his question, though she was, in fact, crimson.

"I see..." Ash said, the redness in his face residing. He really WAS dense.

"So, how's the training going?" Serena asked, attempting to make conversation.

"Great! Pikachu and Hawlucha are looking tougher then ever!" Ash said, pumping his fist into the open air around him. "That next gym badge is mine!"

"Someone's fired up." Serena commented.

"Oh, yeah I am!" Ash said, with a wide grin in his face. "I'm on a hot streak! I'll take on anyone!"

Serena sighed with a smile. Confident as always.

"Hawlucha seems to be settling in well." Serena commented.

"Yeah. I'm glad. Hawlucha is a great Pokemon to have on the team." Ash said. Looking past him, Serena was certain she saw Hawlucha grin.

"Say, Serena." Ash said. "How'd you like to meet some of the Pokemon in those photos?"

Serena was a bit shocked and blushed lightly. She didn't expect Ash to ask her, specifically. Usually he'd ask the whole group. "I'd love to." She replied, with a smile.
