Don't Give Up... Until The End - An Amourshipping Story

Chapter 11

Serena's POV

My eyes slowly opened as I heard the chirps of Fletchlings and Pidgeys. I could tell that it was morning now so I shifted my gaze around a little. I was a bit confused at first as I didn't recognise my surroundings but soon remembered what happened last night. It bought a smile to my face. As I started moving around a little, I realised that my head was lying on something rather soft. I slowly got up and looked at what I was lying at and I immediately blushed a deep shade of pink. I don't know how, but it seems like my head fell of Ash's shoulder and landed on his thighs sometime during the night. Thankfully, Ash was still asleep so he didn't have the chance to experience that awkward situation. Pikachu was curled up into a ball next to Ash too while Ash was still sleeping upright just like last night.

I got up onto my feet and didn't feel as weak as yesterday. I could do with some food, but other than that, everything else seemed to be fine. I looked around the cave and found that the walls were relatively high and there wasn't anything other than rocks and a bit of moss inside the cave itself. There was a bit of yellow light seeping in through entrance of the cave which meant that the sun had only recently risen and since it was Autumn, that means that it was probably around 6:30 - 7:00 in the morning. As I was pondering that, I felt something rub against my leg.

"Chaaaa~"

I looked down to see Pikachu looking up at me giving me a smile. I picked him up gently and cradled him like a baby.

"Good Morning to you too, Pikachu!" I said giving him a smile.

He got off of my arms and climbed up to my shoulder and nuzzled his cheek against mine. I couldn't help but smile at the gesture.

He then jumped off my shoulder and poked my leg while pointing at Ash. He then gave me a mischevious grin. I started to panic a little.

'What? Does Pikachu know too!?'

But, to my relief, he ran towards Ash and stood about a meter away from him. I was intrigued but what Pikachu was doing so I just stood there and watched.

He then started sparking his cheeks, said "Pikaaaa" and then jumped around 3 feet into the air.

"Oh, no..." I said to myself as I guessed what was coming next. Why would Pikachu even shock Ash? And sure enough...

"CHUUUUUUUU!!!"

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH PIKACHU!!" screamed Ash as he himself jumped 3 feet into the air because of the sudden shock.

Pikachu just sat there sniggering at Ash's pain while I made my way towards Ash.

"OH MY ARCEUS ASH! Are you okay?"

He then looked at me and smiled. He was just shocked by, probably, the strongest Pikachu in the world and he just smiles?

"I'm fine Serena. Don't worry. I'm used to it." he then gave me a sheepish grin.

I was a bit confused by Ash's reply.

"Wh-What do you mean?" 

"Oh, well, you see, Pikachu is like my alarm clock. He always wakes up at the exact same time and always shocks me at 7 in the morning."

I raised an eyebrow and continued.

"So... that's Pikachu's way of waking you up?"

He then nods.

I couldn't help but giggle at the relationship between the two. Even though they are trainer and Pokemon, they act like the best of friends.

I then started walking towards the entrance/exit of the cave. I walked outside and what I saw took my breath away.
