Finding Him: Book One: Hoenn

Winning

"Alright, Greninja! Finish Gardevoir off with a Water Shurikren!" Ash yelled loudly at the ninja Pokèmon, then pumped his fist in the air.
"Greninja, jaaa!!" Greninja cryed out as it formed a blue liquid water Shurikren from almost what seemed to be thin air.
"Gardevoir! Dodge it, quick!" Diantha exclaimed at her Pokémon that was pretty much pinned to the ground from damage. But It was to late, the water Shurikren was already on its designated course just bustling across the entire dusty field.
When the water Shurikren made impact, a cloud of smoke was in the way. Once the smoke disappeared, the whole crowd of strangers became shocked that Gardevoir was actually trying it's hardest to deflect the water Shurikren by using moon blast.
"Gardevoir! Release it!" Diantha ordered.
So, the moon blast successfuly deflected the Water Shurikren, Causing it to explode in the middle of the battle field along with the moon blast. Then, another dust cloud surrounded and enveloped the whole field.
The dust cloud went away.
"Gardevoir is unable to battle! Which means the match goes to Greninja! Making Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town of the Kanto region, the new Kalos champion!" The ref shouted.
"We, we, we did it!" Ash exclaimed to his partner, Pikachu.

23 minutes later...

Once Ash was outside the stadium, a massive ruck of interviewers, presses, newscasters, etc., surrounded Ash.
But a voice really stood out over the commotion.
"Ash!" It was Serena.
I carelessly bustled through the crowd of people.
Then, I saw the lumiose twins, and a short honey blonde haired pokémon performer.
"Ash! You did it!" Serena exclaimed while being obviously overjoyed "You won the league!"
She jumped towards me, where I grabbed her waist and spun her around in a sort of hug.
While I spun her a couple times, I noticed a light tinge of red and pink on her cheeks.
Is she getting sick?
I set her down on the ground.
"Hey, Ash?" Bonnie asked "Where are you going next?"
Ash was getting nervous, but knew that he had to tell them sometime.
"I'm going back to Kanto." Ash confessed followed by a light sigh.
"Wait, to Kanto?! Why?!" Bonnie whined.
"I still have other regions to explore. Also, my mom. I can't keep her alone with her and Mr. Mime." Ash sighed again.
"Oh." Clemont said.
Ash and Serena went to the pokémon center to get packed up. Luckily, Ash was already ready.
"Hey, Pikachu? Do you think I should...? You know, tell her...?"
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu palumped it's stubby little arms in the air as it cheered
"I don't know...I'm afraid she'll reject me..."
"Pika, Pikachu, pi pi, chu??"
"Wait, hints, what hints? Not sure if Serena even dripped any?"
Pikachu facepalmed.

In Serena's room

I hope Ash has a second plane ticket, or at least enough money for me to afford one... Wait, I know! Serena thought as she reached for her Holo-Caster, then dialed her mom's number.
"Yes, Serena?" Grace asked her daughter.
"Is it OK if you lend me some money to afford a plane ticket to Kanto?" I asked, hoping she would say yes.
"Kanto? Two questions, why do you want to go to Kanto? Two, What's at Kanto?"
"Well, Ash is finished with his journey here in Kalos. And Ash is going to Kanto, I want to go with him.
