(Next Morning)

Ash wakes up as the sunlight can be seen entering the room via the windows. He stretches his arms and yawns to get rid of his lethargy. He turns around to see his naked girlfriend still fast asleep. Ash smiles as he gets out of bed with the intention of doing some early morning training before restarting the journey. He takes a shower and puts on some clothes. When he goes into the living room he sees Pikachu still fast asleep on the couch. He is about to wake Pikachu up when suddenly he notices Serena's phone ringing. He picks up the phone only to see that her mentor Palermo is calling her. Not wanting to wake Serena up he picks up the phone to take a message.

"Hello Serena dear. Good morning." Palermo says.

"Actually Serena is still asleep. This is Ash speaking miss Palermo." Ash replies.

"Oh sorry Ash. I actually needed to talk with Serena a little urgently."

"What about?" Ash asks.

"Oh. The thing is you know that since yesterday's events I and my organization have been attempting to broker an arrangement with the Battle Frontier people to sow the seeds of Pokemon performances in other regions via their esteemed facilities. So today we are all meeting for breakfast at the Plaza hotel to discuss about this future collaboration. As the Kalos Queen and top Performer by default Serena's presence is absolutely mandatory. The breakfast will begin in 1 and a half hour. I will expect her to be present there." Palermo says before pausing for a moment and then saying "Actually I would like you both to be there. It will be better if you are both there. A seasoned battler along with the Kalos Queen sends a better message. Will you please come. I guarantee you won't regret it."

Ash think about this for a moment. Then he says "I have no problem. But don't you think we should take Grace's permission as well."

"Not to worry. I will call Grace after this and then have her message you with her answer." Palermo replies.

"OK then. Serena and I will see you there." Ash replies.

"I look forward to seeing you both. Just don't forget to wear formals." Palermo says moments before the line gets disconnected.

"Well so much for morning training. I guess better go wake Serena up." Ash says while turning around and walking back to their bedroom.

"I can't wait to try the chocolate donuts of the Plaza's bakery. They are just incredible." Serena says.

"If you say so. Though at the rate we are going I guess I should buy a few more suits for formal occasions." Ash replies.

"Sure. We will go shopping after breakfast gets over then we shall have lunch and then back to our journey." Serena says while smiling.

"That sounds perfect. Wait I will just message Clemont about the plan." Ash says while taking out his phone.

(20 Minutes Later)

"Ash Serena it is good to see you two." Scott says while waving to them.

"Thanks Scott." Ash says while taking a seat.

"Young man good to see you here." Brandon says while taking a seat next to Ash.

"Hey Brandon. I didn't get to say this yesterday but good battle with Diantha." Ash replies.

"Thanks. You battled good as well kid. That was some serious battling." Brandon says in a proud tone.
