Voyage Ahead (Sequel to Playboy) An Amourshipping Story

Chapter 1 ~ Starting Off

"Ash!" Dawn exclaims.

"ASH STOP!" Serena says.

"Oh Arceus, chop my legs off right now." Gary mumbles, wiping dripping sweat off of his temples.

Ash laughs, "Stop complaining, guys!"

"Well, I wouldn't be complaining if my legs weren't KILLING ME!" Serena cries out, speeding the pace.

"Don't worry, sensei!" he reassures.

"Remind...me....where're we off to?" Gary says, clearly out of breath.

"The lab!" Ash says, pumping a fist up in determination.

"And...why....is that?" Dawn asks, gasping for air.

"The professors are going to give us some advice for our journey!" Ash says, slowing down.

"But...we.. ? Serena asks confusingly.

"Wow. Can't believe it's summer already." Gary breathes out, taking his water bottle out from his backpack.

Dawn nods in agreement. "Yeah. It seemed like only yesterday."

"Yeah." Ash says. "We kept our promise. Serena will become the Kalos Queen, Dawn, Top Coordinator...and Gary, er...I forgot what you want to be."

Gary facepalms. "For your information, Ashy-Boy, I want to be a professor. Just like Pops!" he exclaims enthusiastically.

"Well, you gotta pay more attention in class if you wanna be someone like Professor Oak." Dawn points out, rubbing Gary's back.

Ash laughs, then spun around to face Serena, his honey-blonde goddess. "What's on that mind of yours, sensei?" He cooed, intertwining his fingers with hers.

"Nah, I'm just...happy."

"Well, if you're happy, show it!" Ash exclaims. "What about, though?"

Serena smiles, tucking her short hair behind her ear. "It's unbelievable that all of us- we're still friends. Not that I thought it was going to last but...the only long-term friend I had was Dawn."

Ash teasingly pouts. "You're not happy that I finally asked you out a couple days before?"

Serena rolls her eyes, punching the raven-haired boy's arm.

"I love you." He says, planting a kiss on Serena's cheek.

Serena felt her heart pound and flutter. Those three words made her want to fly.

"And I, love you." She responds.

Pikachu leaps onto Serena's shoulder, and back on Ash's in a rapid pace, causing the two to laugh at Pikachu's weird, yet adorable behavior.

"Hey! Look! There's the lab! C'mon let's hurry!" Ash says, running with Serena, hands still intertwined.

"AGAIN, with the running!" Gary complains.

"Tell me about it." Dawn mumbles, sprinting after her friends.

"Gary, Ash, Dawn, Serena...you all made it!" Professor Oak exclaims. "And just in time. How're you, my boy?" He asks Gary.

"I'm...fine...Pops...just...a bit....tired..." Gary breathes out.

"Yeah...have you...any idea....how Ash runs? Like he's in a...freaking...MARATHON!" Dawn says, tired to even utter a word.

Professor Oak laughs. "Serena! My beautiful girl, how are you?"

Serena nods. "I'm great, Professor!"

Ash gives Serena a wink before letting go of her hand.

"SO Professor Oak, the advice you want to give us...our Pokémon Journey!" Ash says.

Professor Oak shook his head. "Well Ash, since you already have Pikachu, Hawlucha, and Fletchinder, so you wouldn't happen to not know the basics of catching."

Ash sighs. "But, I want to hear your word of advice anyway."

Professor Oak nods, "Okay. But I must warn you...this going to be similar to one of my lectures from biology."

Gary nods, heading out the door. "Okay, I'm outtie."

Dawn grabs his collar. "Oh, no you're not Mr. IWantToBeAProfessor."

Gary groans. "Okay fine."

Serena pats Ash's back, giving him a small smile. "We're ready, professor. On with the lecture."

A/N:

First chapter! Hooray! I wanted to start on the sequel because it was the only thing that constantly spun around my head ever since I started working on my other book.
