After winning the showcase, Serena headed off to her apartment alongside Sylveon, Pancham, and Delphox. "Home Sweet Home!" she exclaimed as she entered.

*yawns* "Ohhhh, I'm so drained after the showcase," she said as she plopped down on her bed. "Maybe I should take a bath," Serena mused just as she heard a knock on the door.

"Who's knocking?" Serena wondered aloud as she looked through the peephole.

"HEY SERENA, IT'S ME, ASH! OPEN UP", " PIKA PIKA!" came Ash's enthusiastic voice, accompanied by Pikachu's cheerful cries. They were waiting on the other side of the door.

"Oh, it's you two! Come in," Serena said with a smile as she opened the door.

"So, what are you two up to?" Serena asked, curious.

"We immediately headed to your flat," Ash explained.

And as Serena layed on her bed, Pikachu couldn't help but join her.

"Aww, come here, you," Serena cooed as she hugged Pikachu, who had snuggled up beside her.

Just as Serena settled back on her bed, a sudden loud rumble of thunder shook the room, making them all jump. Ash grinned mischievously and said, "Looks like my stomach's providing some unexpected sound effects today!"

Serena burst into laughter, and even Pikachu seemed to find the thunderous stomach roar amusing.

Oh Ash, only if I got a penny every time your stomach growled, said Serena with tears of laughter.

Then you wouldn't need the showcase prize, Replied Ash in a joking way.

That's for sure, now we don't I make something for us to eat! Replied Serena.

Oh man! That would be great.

But first let me change my clothes,, I've got a surprise I'm sure Pikachu will love, Said Serena as she winked at Pikachu who got excited.

And Ta Da! said Serena as she changed into a cute Pikachu hoddie.

As Ash looked at Serena his heart raced as he saw the one he deeply cares about, dressed in his partner themed hoddie, Ash couldn't cope with that kind of cuteness as he passed out

OH NO ASHHH! Said Serena worried as well as Pikachu.

Serena's idea seemed to surprise Ash more than it was intended for Pikachu, as it appears that there were some miscalculations.

As Serena and Pikachu came to check on him. Moments later Ash opens his eyes only for him to see Serena up close in her hoddie, as Ash blushed, he was lost for words.

Oh you, you had me worried there. Hmph! Don't you ever do that again, said Serena as she faced away from his face, a little blush started to rose.

Ah, sorry about that, I didn't know what happened back there, said Ash.
