1. Ash's Story (Part 7: Kalos)

Chapter 8

A new day has arrived, and we're now having breakfast at our Normal Mansion. Diantha has already left because of another movie filming, and Clemont asks, "So what are your plans for today?"

David says, "I was thinking about creating a machine, what do you think?"

"That sounds awesome. I can help you if you want." Clemont says.

"If that's the case... Bonnie, how about you and I meet the Pokemon in the ranch?" Elline asks.

"That's awesome." Bonnie says, "So that means Ash and Serena are now alone."

"Don't worry, we can explore the Lumiose City by ourselves." Serena blushes as she asks, "So a date?"

"You can say so." I say.

Serena and I decide to have our small date around Lumiose City. When it is about lunchtime, Serena says, "What do you think if we have lunch in Restaurant Le Nah?"

"That sounds like a good idea." I say with a smile.

Speaking of restaurants, the best thing is that we have to battle with the chefs for the meals. In this restaurant, our entree today is a handpicked salad fresh from the garden, though the chef recommends that we defeat him within two turns to have the best. Thanks to our Pokemon we are able to get right ahead.

The soup is next, and condiments are added with great restraint so that we could truly savor its natural flavor, we had to defeat him within two turns to have the best as well. And for the main course, we have the fish that was caught this morning and has been delicately breaded and pan-fried, also with two turns to defeat the chef.

Serena says, "So far we spent six turns battling. This sure is interesting."

"Yeah. The meal is great. Although this is only in Lumiose City..." I sigh.

After we were done, we paid 3,000 dollars for the meal and also got 15 tiny mushrooms in return. There is also the Coiffure Clips which lets us change our hairstyle, and Café Soleil, a coffee shop that Aunt Diantha really likes to visit. Shutterbug Café is also a cafe with lots of photographers who like to share pictures from their Rotom phone or their cameras, while Café Introversion is a cafe with a lot of introverted people.

On Vernal Avenue, there is the Stone Emporium, which sells all kinds of rare stones; Boutique Couture, which is the best clothing store in Lumiose City; Herboriste, a place where they sell herbs; Café Classe, which is a cafe with a lot of fashion lovers; Friseur Furfrou, a place where stylists can style the Furfrou; and Café Woof, where Furfrou trainers can relax when waiting for the Furfrou styling to be done.

After we finish our exploring on the South Boulevard, we head back to our house and find that everyone is watching on the television. I say, "It's the Pokevisions!"

"Yeah, look at all the promotion videos." Elline says. "That Psyduck is so cute."

"Next, number two!" The announcer says as it then displays a young girl slightly older than Serena along with her Fennekin.

"That is Aria! She is the Kalos Queen. Although I thought she would be the number one." Bonnie says.

"I wonder who surpasses her?" David asks. "Since she and her Fennekin had several top-ranked Pokévision appearances, they made their debut as a pop duo and became famous all over Kalos."

"You know, that's a cute Fennekin." I say. Although I can see Fennekin being jealous. Serena says, "You know what, my Fennekin's just as cute any day."

"For sure, and you're at least as cute as Aria is." Bonnie says.
