The Unbreakable Bond: A Pokemon XYZ continuation (Amourshipping)

[S2E03] The Journeys Begin

Around 10 Years after the events of the final battle between Ash and Lucifer. In front of Ash's house, Pallet Town. 9 PM.

A portal opened up in front of Ash's house. The portal flickered, before Ash, Spark, and Zossie stepped out of it.

Ash grabbed the hood of his cape off his head, and looked at the entrance to his house. "Home, at last." He smilingly stated. Ash's hair and beard had overgrown a bit and the strands of his hair were rough and unkempt.

"It's been what? 7 years?" Spark said, checking his PokeGear. He looked more mature, since he was in his 20s now.

Zossie stretched a bit. "The distortion world shenanigans made time go by so fast." She said. Zossie was wearing a modified version of her normal Ultra Recon Squad armor. She had a more mature vibe going on too, looking almost the same as Soliera now.

"Come on, let's go inside." Ash said. "Serena and the kids are gonna be surprised." He said as he walked straight towards the door, and entered. Spark and Zossie followed.

Moments earlier, inside the House.

Serena, Anna, and Zenith were in the lounge area. Zenith was playing a Pokemon game on the TV, while Serena and Anna sat together. 

Both Anna and Zenith had grown up - They had just recently turned 10 years old. 

"Keep going--" Serena said, while holding Anna's hands and looking into her eyes gently. "You can do it for longer-!" 

Anna's face showed visible discomfort, as the marks on her cheeks glowed. She was practicing use of her inherited powers which allowed her to switch to any other typing - necessary to be able to hear and speak since her Cosmic typing stopped sound.

"A-Agh-!" Anna cried, as she stopped using her powers. Her cheek marks stopped glowing as well.

"Good girl!" Serena exclaimed, as she hugged Anna. "You can maintain change for longer now!" She added. 

Anna smiled, as she wiped off her tears. After a moment, she looked down.

Serena tapped Anna's shoulder, and asked her 'what happened' in sign language. 

Anna signed back. 'I miss Papa'

Serena sighed, and then hugged Anna. "I miss him too."

Suddenly, the entrance door unlocked itself, and swung open. 

Ash entered the house, and looked at everyone inside. "Papa's home."

Anna's eyes widened, and cheeks glowed as she screamed with all her might. "PAPA!" 

---

Moments later, everyone was seated on the couches. Anna was already asleep in Ash's lap, while Spark and Zossie just went to sleep seated straight up. Zenith went straight to his room to sleep too. 

The only ones awake in the house were Ash and Serena now.

Serena placed some Tea, and sat right next to Ash. She gently hugged him from the side. "Feels good to have you back."

"Good to be back." Ash replied, leaning a bit towards Serena as well. "Sorry for taking so long. Was a huge mess to clean."

"Don't be sorry." Serena replied, snuggling closer to Ash. "You were successful in your mission, right?"

"Yeah." Ash replied. "We saved a whole Dimension's worth of people from suffering. Dimension 66 and the Distortion world too."

"Then it was all worth it." Serena said smilingly, as she gave Ash a little peck on his cheek. She tried wrapping her arms around Ash's, but got blocked by Anna.
