Thank you for everything you do

The big party

"Wow I can't believe you guys are all here!" Ash exclaimed happily

"Of course we are" Brock said giving Ash a smile

"We wouldn't want to leave such an achievement without celebration" Misty said as she pointed to the backyard of Ash's house

Ash walked outside and saw his pokémon waiting for him with his Kalos league trophy in front of them. Ash looked back at his friends who all were smiling and being really happy for him. Ash walked to his pokémon and was given one massive hug.

"I need to make a sketch of this as fast as possible!" Tracey said taking out his notepad

"Of course you do..." Misty murmured to herself

Gary, Misty, Brock and Serena walked towards Ash who was still getting hugged by his pokémon. Ash was laughing while he held his trophy and his pokémon were happy that Ash was finally able to win. His pokémon finally separated from him and Ash saw Serena's hand extend towards him. Serena helped Ash get up and they stood around the table.

"You guys... this is amazing" Ash said with a genuine smile

"Well, we wanted to give you a good party" Gary told Ash putting his hand on his shoulder

"And we wanted to hang out with you after so long!" Brock exclaimed with a smile

"Thank you, this means a lot" Ash said looking at all of his friends

Delia then came outside and told everyone to get inside because it was getting cold out there. Everyone got inside and sat down in the living room to have a chat. Professor Oak stayed with Delia in the kitchen and Mimey stayed with them while Pikachu jumped on Ash's shoulder. All the pokémon stayed outside to rest while the party continued inside.

"So did you guys actually meet up to watch my win?" Ash asked looking at Misty, Brock and Tracey

"We did!" Misty replied

"And it was quite the heated battle" Tracey admired

"That Greninja was very cool" Brock said smiling

"He really was" Ash said turning to look at his Greninja outside who was surrounded by his other strong pokémon and they all looked to be having fun hanging around

Misty looked at Serena who was sitting next to Ash and seemed to lean very close to him which she thought was a bit weird since she still had no idea that they were together.

"So, you are Serena, right? You were one of Ash's friends from Kalos?" Misty said looking at Serena who was sitting beside her

"Well about that friendship thing-" Gary began to say but was suddenly stopped by Ash and he gave Brock a look so that he wouldn't say anything

"Yes, I am" Serena responded to Misty

"Well, it's nice to meet you!" Misty said smiling at Serena who returned it with a smile of her own

Misty turned to Ash who was looking at Serena with dreamy eyes and decided to ask Serena something

"Hey why are you and Ash so close? Is there something going on?" Misty whispered to Serena with a slight bit of anticipation on her voice as if she were anxious to know if her suspicions were true

"Well, uh we are..." Serena began to whisper turning a little red

"Sere are you ok?" Ash asked looking at Serena who just turned around quickly to him with her face getting even more red
