Pokemon X & Y Reimagined

Chapter 15: The Bond of the Aurora! Amaura and Serena!

The sun radiated across the western coast of Kalos, gleaming over the rocky cliffs and white sand beaches of Ambrette town. Bonnie and Clemont's eyes glistened as they took in the beauty. Bunnelby, Chespin, and Dedenne did much the same. Their long journey across the Kalos countryside now brining them to this paradise. However, not all in their group saw it that way. Bonnie puffed up her cheeks and Clemont sweat dropped as they looked back at Ash and Serena. Ash remained locked in his ever-increasing training regiments since unlocking his aura. He and his pokemon had been up since dawn and showed no signs of slowing down even as sweat drenched their bodies.

Serena and Fennekin proved no better. They also got up early, spending hours on end conditioning and practicing different routines. Both looked just as sweaty as Ash and his team, but likewise had fiery determination to continue.

"They sure are passionate, aren't they."

"More like obsessed!" Bonnie huffed out some smoke and charged over to them. "Enough!"

Ash, Serena, and their pokemon jumped. Bonnie crossed her arms with a furious expression.

"You two need to take a break, we're in paradise and all you can focus on is training. You still have time before your next gym battle, and you have plenty of time before your first showcase!" Bonnie cut off their arguments before either could speak. Both trainers sweat dropped before looking back at themselves.

"Maybe Bonnie's right. I haven't been here since I was a kid. I forgot how beautiful it is." Serena beamed as she took in the coastline and soon Ash joined in.

"Hai. Let's take a break guys." Ash's team nodded and looked out at the beach with enticed looks, all except Riolu who pouted that their training was over. After a quick shower, Serena and Bonnie went to changing room near the beach. The young woman's face turned pink as she held a towel over herself while looking in the mirror. It certainly was not the first time she had been to the beach, but it was the first time Ash would see her in a bathing suit. She was terrified of what he might think of her. Fennekin nudged her with a reassuring look and Bonnie grinned from behind.

"Hmm, Serena nis nervous. As expected. Still, this is a perfect opportunity to enact Operation Amourshipping. The beach offered so many possibilities for such things, and she would miss none of them. Bonnie concealed herself with an innocent smile and took Serena by the hand.

"Come on, Serena, the others are waiting for us!"

Serena found herself led outside, but still clutched the towel over her body. Once outside they saw many beachgoers and their pokemon already enjoying themselves. However, nothing could prepare her for what happened next. Clemont and Ash revealed themselves from the men's changing room. Both wore swim trunks and Serena noticed Clemont had changed since they met. His daily training with Ash had shaped him into a more athletic build. As for Ash himself. Despite seeing him shirtless before, Serena went bright red at the sight of his refined figure.

"There you guys are, let's find a good spot." Ash waved them over but Serena's legs did not move. She opened her mouth to speak, however, Bonnie acted first. With Dedenne's help, she grabbed Serena's towel and pulled it away. Before the young woman even realized what happened, Dedenne jolted her in the back with a little electricity that made Serena stumble forward into Ash's arms. Now it was Ash that went scarlet. He saw Serena's elegant figure within a red bikini, but he was not prepared for her to land in his arms. Both their hearts races as they remained locked in the bashful embrace for what felt like hours.

Pikachu chuckled and did nothing to break up the scene while Bonnie and Dedenne snickered. Clemont, meanwhile, backed up, unable to speak. Fennekin finally broke them up as she forced herself between her trainer and Ash, growling at him. For the first time, Bonnie was truly cross with the cute little fire fox, but the job was already done.
