Tryst with Destiny: The Beginning of the End (Main Story)

11 : A Watery Showdown Part - I

(Next Morning)

Serena wakes up and stretches her arms while yawning. She then smiles and turns to face Ash. However, Ash is not there to her surprise.

"Where did he go?" Serena says out loud while getting out of bed. She puts on her slippers and goes out of the bedroom.

"Ash where are you?" Serena calls out but no response comes.

"Braixen Braix," Braixen says.

"Oh, good morning to you Braixen," Serena says while petting her evolved starter Pokemon.

"Do you know where Ash is?" Serena asks Braixen.

"Braixen" Braixen says while nodding.

"Alright lead the way," Serena says.

Braixen leads Serena out of the building to a clearing next to the lake in the campus of KIP. There Serena sees Ash training with Pikachu, Charizard, Torterra and some other Pokemon she doesn't recognize.

Serena walks over towards them. Suddenly out of nowhere a Noctowl comes and sits on her shoulder making her jump. After a while, she calms down and realizes that Noctowl is only displaying its affection. She pets Noctowl and laughs.

"That's no small feat getting Noctowl to get so comfortable with you Serena," Ash walks towards her while wiping his sweat with his towel.

"Hi Ash. I see you left early to train for your match. I am sorry I didn't mean to interrupt," Serena quickly says.

"Nonsense. How can you ever be a hindrance Sere?" Ash says before gulping down all the water from his water bottle.

Serena meanwhile is in a daze, she can't help but stare at his toned body and biceps. She starts to blush uncontrollably at his sweaty smoking hot body and gets lost in her thoughts.

"Now that I think of it, you haven't met my Pokemon. Have you?" Ash says which jerks Serena back into reality.

"No. I haven't as a matter of fact," Serena says before saunters her way over to Ash.

Ash takes Serena's hand and announces, "Hey guys, this is Serena. She is my girlfriend."

Charizard grins at Ash and lets loose a flamethrower at his head.

"Thought that might happen," Ash blankly comments before falling on the floor with a soot-covered face and swirly eyes.

Serena looks in shock as Ash gets up, cleans itself, walks over to Charizard and then proceeds to hug him.

"Oh, don't worry Serena. That is my Charizard's way of showing affection. Come here. Don't be afraid. He might look intimidating at first but he is quite gentle."

Serena hesitatingly walks over to Charizard but after an encouraging look from Ash slowly raises her hands and then pets Charizard. Charizard blushes while Serena smiles at him and immediately starts to tickle her by licking her face. Ash's jaw drops as all his Pokemon join Charizard as they lick and tickle Serena. Serena laughs hysterically as she fails to have them stop by repeatedly telling them to stop.

'Amazing. I have been with them longer than anyone. She's just met them, but I guess nothing like a pretty lady to make them all forget that.' Ash thinks as he watches Serena laugh like uncontrollably.

"All right! That is enough. The only one who gets to tickle Serena like that is me," Ash says while recalling everyone to their Poke balls.

"Ash. What did you say, just now?" Serena says while smirking.
