At the Airport

Goh Pov
I don't know why but I felt that Ash was trying to steal Serena away from me. I was in denial, perhaps I am just being jealous for no reason. I mean Ash did say that they were really close friends, so it was natural that they would hug and stuff. However I didn't like it one bit but kept my feelings aside so I don't act uncool in front of Serena. When we arrived at the airport, the group chose me to go get our tickets. When I went to the counter they gave me four tickets and that's when I realized that they were in a two and two seating. The plane ride would be a perfect time for me to spend some alone time with Serena. I went over to the group and handed them their tickets and made sure I gave Serena with the one which makes her sit next to me. Everything was going a according to plan. Until Ash noticed the seat numbers and ruined my whole plan.

Serena Pov
"Hey Goh, are the seats arranged in a two and two seating?"Ash said. Yes?" Goh answered confused by Ash's question. "And who are you sitting next to?" Ash asked. " Oh, I think with Serena." Goh replied. I realized what he was trying to do, he wanted to spend time with me, ALONE. "I think I should be the one to sit next her. You know since we still have lots to talk about." He said while looking at me while smiling. I nearly had a heart attack, ASH WANTS TO SIT NEXT TO ME! I thought. Goh replied, slightly irritated by Ash,"No I think it's fine, Me and Serena are friends too ya know, we will get along well. You can catch up with her some other time." This confirmed it for me, Goh definitely has a crush on me. Ash kept on insisting but Goh kept on denying. They both looked really irritated by the other. I knew it was my job to do something as they are fighting over me but I didn't know how. I would love to sit next to Ash but I also didn't want to hurt Goh's feeling, I was conflicted. In desperation I looked at the girl named Chloe, hoping she could do something about this problem. Chloe looked at my pleading eyes and sighed. Then she walked over to Goh snatched the ticket from his hand and gave him her's. "There, problem solved. You and Ash sit together and me and Serena will sit together. A boy-boy and girl-girl seating" she said. I was relieved, she just saved my back. This way no one's feelings get hurt.....yet. "But!", They both said at the same time but were cut off by Chloe. "No buts!, I already made the decision." she said. The boys had no choice but shut up and listen to her, she could really control them. I giggled at the thought and was glad she decided to come along with us on this adventure.

On the plane

Ash Pov
We were on the plane and I was sitting next to Goh with Pikachu and my lap. I really wanted to sit next to Serena but I guess it's ok that Chloe is sitting next to her and not Goh. The flight was an 8 hour flight as Kanto and Galar are really far apart. Goh was looking through his Rottom phone's pokedex, probably to see which pokemon he could catch in Galar. I turned around and peeked through the little gap between our seat to see that Chloe and Serena were just chatting with each others. I wanted to stay in that position and stare at Serena the whole flight but I knew that would look really weird not just to her but the people around us as well. So I just turned back around, and stared outside the plane's window with Pikachu. Most of the time it we would only be able to see the blue sky but occasionally we would see a flying type pokemon fly by and it would hype us up. A few hours went by. I was getting bored of starting out the window, when suddenly Goh put down his phone and peeked through the gap between our seats like I did a few hours ago. Then he turned to face me and said with a hidden angry tone in his voice,"Ok their asleep, so mind telling me what your trying to do Ash." I decided to play dumb and say,"I don't know what your talking about Goh?" He looked at me angrily and said,"Don't play dumb, I thought you were gonna be my wingman. Why are you trying to steal Serena's attention!" I smirked and replied,"Well Goh, it's because I love Serena and I have loved her for a long time, way longer than you."."WHAT!?" Goh said, shocked by my sudden confession. "Yup it's true, so you better back off cause she clearly likes me back." I said with a smug face. "Oh ya? Got any proof!" He angrily replied."In fact I do, when we parted ways she gave me a kiss, on the lips showing me that see loves me." I said maintaining my proud smile. Goh was not happy one bit. He looked at me and said,"So what! She has kissed me too you know." I was left in complete shock. She kissed Goh!? My heart shattered into a million pieces. I looked at him and said,"WHEN, WHERE, WHY!?" still in complete shock from what I heard.

A Few Hours Before

Chloe Pov
Serena and I were sitting together on the plane we were minding our own business, neither of us even making eye contact with the other. To be truthful, it was kinda awkward, but that was to be expected. We didn't know much about each other. After a while it looked like Serena couldn't take the awkwardness any more an decided to start a conversation. "So Chloe, how do you know Ash and Goh. Is it because their your dad's research assistants?." I replied,"Well yes and no, I know Ash because he is my dad's research assistant but I have known Goh since childhood, so I guess you could call us childhood friends."."What about you, how do you know Ash?" I asked. She blushed and said,"Well, I know him because he once 'saved' me when we were young. It during a summer camp in Kanto, I was separated from the rest of the group, and ended up injuring my knee when a polywag jumped out of the bushes and scared me. Ash found me and tied a handkerchief around my knee and helped me back to the rest of the group."."What about your experiences with him in the Kalos region? I heard you were a pokemon performancer, what made you come to that decision." I asked her. She thought for a second and then said,"I don't know really, when I first tried to perform it just...clicked. But of course it wasn't that easy. My mom is a famous Rhyhorn racer, and she always wanted me to become a Rhyhorn racer too but I was never really into it. I was scared to tell her I wanted to be a Pokemon performancer because I didn't want to disappoint her but thanks to Ash and two of my other friends who supported my dream. I confronted my mom and told her my real passion. She was upset at first but she supported my decision nethertheless. I did very well in performing and made it till the finals in Kalos but sadly lost to the Kalos Queen. Sadly my journey through Kalos ended soon after that but I went to the Hoenn Region and continued my dream of person to put a smile on peoples and pokemons' faces all around the world." At this point I couldn't help but feel inferior compared to her, 'she could do all the things I couldn't. She found her dream and purpose, she managed to show people that just because her mom was Rhyhorn racer didn't mean she had to be, she believes in herself and has confidence to try new things, she even managed to steal Goh's heart when I couldn't' I thought to myself. Soon after we stopped talking and Serena fell asleep. I looked at my phone and realized we had 4 hours left before we reach Galar. I closed my eyes but moments later heard Goh, who was sitting in the seat in front, say something to Ash with a angry tone in his voice,"Ok their asleep, so mind telling me what your trying to do Ash." Ash replied,"I don't know what your talking about Goh?" Then Goh said,"Don't play dumb, I thought you were gonna be my wingman. Why are you trying to steal Serena's attention!" Ash replied,"Well Goh, it's because I love Serena and I have loved her for a long time, way longer than you."I was right, Ash does like Serena I thought. "WHAT!?" Goh said, shocked by what Ash just said. "Yup it's true, so you better back off cause she clearly likes me back." Ash said. "Oh ya? Got any proof!" Goh angrily replied."In fact I do, when we parted ways she gave me a kiss, on the lips showing me that see loves me." Ash said. But then what Goh said shocked me. He said,"So what! She has kissed me too you know." My heart suddenly shattered, tears were beginning to form on my eyes but I quickly wiped them away. Ash shouted,"WHEN, WHERE, WHY.". Goh replied with a proud voice,"When I saved her, she fell on me and we ended up kissing.". Oh so it wasn't on purpose I thought. But my was heart still hurt."That was just a accidentally then! Mine was the real deal said Ash to Goh. "A kiss is a kiss."Goh replied. Ash was angry at this point and shouted,"No its not you NERD." Goh replied,"Shut up you LOSER." And then began a war of insults which lasted for almost an hour. The rest of the time they just sat there quietly but I could tell they were still mad at each other. Soon the plane landed and Serena woke up. When we got out of the plane Serena noticed the looks Goh and Ash were giving each other. She looked at me for answers. I didn't want to tell her about their argument because I knew she would blame herself so I acted like I didn't know and shrugged my shoulder. I sighed, this is going to be one long trip.

Author's Note
Yay I ruined a perfectly nice and wholesome friendship, I hope you guys are proud of me. And also I hope you guys see why I made Goh and Serena kiss. It was to emotionally break Ash and also Chloe. Why? Cause it makes an interesting story. Anyway this chapter is the longest one I wrote so far. It was a pain to write too, especially repeating the argument between Goh and Ash twice but I hope you guys enjoyed it. That's all, take care and stay safe. BYE👋
