1: Bonds of Amour
The Kalos Region, also known as The Region of Love. One day, Ash was finishing his adventure through Unova, and the next, he finds himself moving to Kalos with his old friend Gary.
There, Ash finds himself reuniting with old frien...
Forsomereason,IhadabadfeelingabouttodaywhenIwokeup.I had only gotten this feeling twice before, and both days ended up being miserable.
"What's wrong Serena?" my mom questioned as I ate my bowl of cereal
"Huh?" I snapped out of my daydream. "Nothing"
"You seem oddly distracted" she said
"I was just thinking about... stuff" I glanced out the kitchen window, where I had a direct view of Ash's house
"Is 'stuff' your keyword for Ash?" my mom teased
Against my will, I blushed. "What? No!"
It's true that I had a crush on Ash when we were younger and at summer camp, and I hadn't forgotten about him in the slightest over the years. But the feelings I had... I'm not so sure about them anymore. Ever time I see him and look into his eyes, my stomach flutters and my heart beats a little faster, but it could be a simple infatuation. He is good looking after all, or at least in my eyes.
"You should probably start heading to school or else you'll be late" my mom suggested
"Right" I agreed, getting up and slinging my backpack on
On the way out the door, I made sure to pick up Fennekin's Pokeball. As normal, Ash and Gary were just making their way out at the same time I was.

"Hey Serena!" Ash called, waving his hand.
I waved back and made my way over. "Hey Ash, Gary. Anything intresting happen yesterday?"
"As a matter of fact, yes" Gary confirmed as we started walking. "After school we went into Lumiose City, and we got to see X and Y walk past each other"
He went on to explain what had happened after that, a boy named Sawyer that they met, and Aria's battle against Y.
"Sounds like a lot of important stuff for less than an hour" I said
"It's like I'm one step closer to finding out who they are" Gary said
"Huh?"
"Gary's made it his new goal to find out who X and Y are" Ash answered
"Good luck then" I told him. "No offense though, much smarter people than you have tried and failed to reveal their identity"
"You know when people say 'no offense' they're about to say something offensive" Gary huffed, crossing his arms and faking annoyance
"She's not wrong though" Ash argued. "I'm sure if people really wanted to know who they were, they would have found out by now"
"It begs the question though. Why do they hide their identity in the first place?" Gary questioned
