(Next Day)
Ash and Serena are walking back to take their place in the VIP Box when suddenly Ash spots a girl with a tomboyish attire and ginger orange hair.
"Wait a minute. That couldn't be could it?" Ash says to himself as he tries to get a closer look at the girl.
"Could be who Ash?" Serena asks.
"Yes. It's her. Misty!" Ash yells as he runs of while dragging Serena along as well.
"Ash !" Misty exclaims on hearing the voice, turning around and smiling.
"Misty I missed you so much. How are you ?" Ash says before giving her a quick hug.
"I missed you too Ash. Brock told me that you had become the KIP Champion but he refused to give anymore details. He said he wanted it to be a surprise." Misty says.
"Oh speaking of surprises. Misty meet Serena my girlfriend. Serena this is Misty she is the current Cerulean City Gym leader and a student at the Kanto School of Pokemon. She traveled with me " Ash says before getting cutoff by Serena.
"Through Kanto, Orange islands and Johto. I remember you telling me. Hi I am Serena, the Kalos Queen and Ash's girlfriend." Serena says while shaking Misty's hand.
"You are very pretty. Congrats Ash on finding yourself a keeper. I for one didn't think you had it in you." Misty says causing Ash to turn red in embarrassment and Serena to giggle.
"Well I would love to talk but I need to get to the stadium for my match up." Misty says.
"Don't worry. We are going there as well. See you later Misty." Serena says as the 2 wave Misty goodbye as she runs off.
"Well let's get as well. Shall we?" Serena says.
"Yup let's go. But tell me regarding Mrs. Lusamine's request do you think Dragon Emperor will agree?" Ash asks as the two resume walking.
"Don't know but I am inclined to think he might if we persuade him. But for now let's focus on getting to the finals shall we." Serena says.

"Best of luck trainers. Your match ups will be displayed on the screens in 30 seconds. All battles will be 3 on 3 with no substitution and only 1 unknown Pokemon allowed. Best of luck." Diantha says as the competitors see their faces being shuffled continuously only to come to a sudden stop. Every one looks at their pairings. Ash is paired with some random student from Opelucid Unova Academy while Serena has been paired with Misty.
"Best of luck Ash." Serena says as she leaves for her battle with Misty.
(10 Minutes Later)
"Best of luck Serena. May the best trainer win. I warn you though that I am one of the toughest gym leaders in the Kanto region. Don't underestimate me." Misty remarks.
"Only time will tell how tough you really are Misty." Serena replies back in a cool voice.
"Are the challengers ready?" Referee asks to which both nod.
"I will choose first. Go Starmie." Misty says while tossing a Poke-ball.
"In that case I shall go with Rhyhorn." Serena says while tossing her Poke-ball.
"A Rock and Ground type against my water type Starmie? You don't know much about the importance of type match up do you?" Misty says.
Serena internally smirks for she knows Misty has taken the bait.
