Asd, Serena, Professor Oak and Delia are on the grass field of Professor Oak's lab.
"Hello everyone!" shouted Ash.
"Ash... Could you leave that task for Bulbasaur?" asked Professor Oak, smiling nervously.
"Oh yes... I forgot about that..." said Ash, smiling nervously.
"Bulbasaur, could you help us?" asked PRofessor Oak.
Bulbasaur approaches the group.
"Bulba!" said Bulbasaur, hugging Ash and smiling.
"It's good to see you again, Bubasaur!" said Ash, smiling.
Serena is looking with admiration to both Ash and Bulbasaur.
Ash laughs happily.
"So Bulbasaur, could you call everyone here?" asked Ash.
"Bulba!" said Bulbasaur, smiling happily.
"Saur!" said Bulbasaur while using Solar Beam to call all of Ash's Pokémon on Professor Oak's lab.
Little by little Ash's pokémon come by.
Ash greets every pokémon on the lab.
Serena is holding Pichu on her hands.
Eventually, all of Ash's pokémon are in front of them.
"It's good to see every single one of you!" said Ash, holding some of his pokémon.
"Go ahead, Pichu... Talk to everyone!" said Serena, putting Pichu on the ground.
"Pi?" said Pichu, puzzled.
"You're going to have fun! Ash's pokémon are really friendly!" said Serena, smiling.
"Pi..." said Pichu, worried.
Pichu started walking towards Ash's pokémon.
Gible is the first one to walk towards Pichu.
"Pi?" said Pichu, puzzled.
Gibble looks to it.
"Gi?" said Gibble, still looking at it.
Gibble opens his mouth.
"Pi! Pichu!" said Pichu, running away and hiding behind Serena's leg.
"Hey Gibble! That wasn't cool!" said Ash.
"Gibble..." said Gibble, looking to the ground.
"Talonflame, could you help Pichu?" asked Ash.
"Talon!" said Talonflame.
Talonflame walked towards Pichu, who was still hiding behind Serena's leg.
"Flame! Talon..." said Talonflame.
"Pi?" said Pichu, puzzled.
Talonflame turned its back to Pichu.
"Talonflame!" said Talonflame.
Pichu smiles.
"Pichu!" said Pichu, climbing on Talonflame's back.
Talonflame started flying with Pichu on its back.
Pichu is laughing happily on Talonflame's back.
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
"Huh? You want to fly with it?" asked Ash.
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
"Okay... Swellow... Can you help Pikachu?" asked Ash.
Swellow nodded happily.
Pikachu climbed on Swellow's back.
They started flying next to Talonflame and Pichu.
"Pika!" shouted Pikachu.
"Pi?" said Pichu, turning to Pikachu and Swellow.
"Pikachu!" said Pikachu.
"Swe!" said Swellow.
Swellow got closer to Talonflame and Pichu.
"Pika Pi!" said Pikachu.
"Pi?" said Pichu, puzzled.
"Pikachu!" said Pikachu.
"Pichu!" said Pichu, jumping on top of Swellow.
Talonflame went back to the ground.
Swellow continued to fly with both Pikachu and Pichu on its back.
Pichu and Pikachu are seen playing happily on top of Swellow.
Everyone is watching they play with joy.
Serena and Ash are watching with glittering eyes.
"They sure get along pretty well... don't they?" asked Delia to Professor Oak.
"They sure do..." said Professor Oak.
"Just like their trainers..." said Professor Oak.
"How do you know that?" asked Delia.
"They say that a pokémon mirrors its trainer's behaviour, don't they?" said Professor Oak.
"I guess you're right..." said Delia.
"But aren't you the one who is going to take care of Pichu?" asked Delia.
"But I'm not its trainer..." said Professor Oak.
"That makes sense..." said Delia.
Delia and Professor Oak turned to watch Swellow, Pichu and Pikachu having fun flying.
Eventually, Swellow comes back to the ground.
Pichu and Pikachu are smiling happily.
"Did you have fun?" asked Serena.
"Pichu Pi!" said Pichu, smiling happily.
Serena smiles back.
"Thanks Swellow, Pikachu and Talonflame..." said Serena, still smiling.
Swellow, Pikachu and Talonflame smile.
"Serena, why don't you do a short showcase today?" asked Professor Oak.
"What?" asked Serena, turning to Professor Oak.
"Why don't you do a showcase today? Last time you did one and everyone loved it!" said Professor Oak, smiling.
"Oh... I think that would be great!" said Serena, smiling.
"This is my chance to show Ash and the others that I got better..." thought Serena.
"Wait... Serena had been here before?" asked Ash.
Serena blushes.
"I... I... Didn't I meet you in Professor Oak's summer camp!?" said Serena, stuttering and blushing.
"Yes... But you didn't do showcases back then..." said Ash, puzzled.
Serena blushes harder.
"Serena came here for a while to meet your pokémon!" said Professor Oak, smiling.
"She did!?" asked Ash, surprised.
Professor Oak nodded.
Serena blushes harder.
"Why?!" asked Ash, surprised.
"She told me that she wanted to get stronger... And she thought that it would be a good idea to meet your pokémon..." said Professor Oak.
Ash is speechless.
"You really did that?" asked Ash.
Serena blushes harder than ever
"Y... Y... Yes..." said Serena, looking to the ground and still blushing.
Ash is speechless once again.
"So... Why don't you show us how stronger you've got by showing us a showcase of yours?" asked Ash.
Serena smiles.
"I already said that I will do a showcase for you guys!" said Serena, smiling.
Ash smiles back.
"But first... I want you to see my pokémon once again!" said Serena, throwing her pokéballs to the air.
"Pancham!" "Braixen!" "Sylveon!" said Serena's pokémon coming out their pokéballs.
Milotic also comes out of its pokéball.
Ash's Oshawott catches a glimpse of Sylveon and started running towards Serena's Sylveon.
Oshawott is hugging Sylveon happily.
Sylveon is clearly uncomfortable with this.
"Oshawott! You can't do that!" said Ash, pulling Oshawott away from Sylveon.
"He is still the same..." said Serena, unimpressed.
"Osha..." said Oshawott, looking to the ground.
Sylveon sighs in relief.
Oshawott looks up and sees Milotic.
"Osha!" said Oshawott, running towards Milotic.
Oshawott hugs Milotic happily.
Milotic is smiling happily.
"Oshawott! I told you you can't do that!" said Ash, running towards Oshawott.
Milotic uses its tail to hit Ash.
Ash falls on the ground.
"Uh?" said Ash, puzzled.
Serena laughs.
"Here... Let me help you..." said Serena, helping Ash get up and laughing.
Ash blushes.
"Thanks..." said Ash, blushing.
"What do you think about those two?" asked Delia, turning to Professor Oak.
"I think I already told you about pokémon mirroring their Trainer's behaviour... And in this case... Their Trainer's feelings..." said Professor Oak.
Delia smiles.
"What about you?" asked Professor Oak.
"I agree with you..." said Delia.
Both smile.
Both looked back to Ash, Serena, Oshawott and Milotic.
Milotic puts Oshawott on its back and started using Dragon Rush to fly with Oshawott on its back.
Oshawott is loving the ride.
Milotic is smiling happily.
Serena and Ash are looking to Milotic and Oshawott.
"I think I know that Milotic from somewhere..." thought Ash.
Serena and Ash are with glittering eyes.
Serena smiles.
"Milotic! Let's get ready to perform!" said Serena.
Milotic looks to Serena.
"Okay! Give me just a few seconds more!" said Milotic, smiling.
Ash hears this and looks shocked.
"Okay!" said Serena, smiling.
Milotic smiles and keeps flying.
"Did that Milotic just talk!?" asked Ash.
Serena looks shocked.
Professor Oak looks puzzled.
"You heard that!?" asked Serena.
"I didn't hear anything..." said Professor Oak.
"Serena can talk with Milotic through a connection on their hearts..." said Delia.
"Oh..." said Professor Oak.
"So... If Ash can hear that... Does that mean that his heart is connect with Serena's and Milotic's?" asked Professor Oak.
Delia smiles and turns to Ash and Serena.
Professor Oak smiles.
"I heard! But how can your Milotic talk!?" asked Ash, puzzled.
"It told me that it can communicate with me through a connection on our hearts... But I'm not sure why you can hear us..." said Serena.
Ash looks puzzled.
"That means you two have connected hearts!" said Delia, smiling and getting closer to them.
Ash and Serena blush.
Milotic gets down.
"It's good that you're back down, Milotic! Let's get ready for our showcase!" said Serena, laughing nervously and running towards the lab.
Serena's pokémon follow her.
Delia and Professor Oak laugh.
Ash becomes thoughtful.
Ash is thinking about what Delia had told him.
"Serena..." mumbled Ash.
"You're thinking about her, isn't it?" asked Delia.
"What? No!" said Ash, blushing.
"Let's wait for her here!" said Ash, sitting on the grass.
Delia and Professor Oak smile.
Ash keeps thinking about Serena.
