"Serena? When did you come here?" Ash asked.

"I landed in Kanto yesterday, so I decided I visit here, surprised?" Serena replied.

"Yeah, oh and also this is my little brother Cobalt!" Ash said introducing his little brother.

"Hey there Cobalt, I am Serena, I travelled with your brother in Kalos!" Serena said, she put her hand out for the raven-haired kid to shake.

"Yea, Big Bro told me about you, you did showcases in Kalos right?" Cobalt asked shaking her hand as Serena nodded.

"But Serena weren't you in Hoenn trying out contests?" Ash asked the blue-eyed girl.

"I was in Hoenn for contests, but then after the Grand Festival, Palermo called me, "Serena replied, "She said that Kanto is now hosting Pokemon showcases so I should try them!"

"Oh, so you'll be travelling in Kanto?" Ash asked to which Serena nodded, "Also you said Grand Festival so did you win it?"

"Well... No, " the blue-eyed girl said, "Though contests are a lot similar it still was a bit different due to involvement of battles, so I ended up in 4th position. But what about you what have you been doing for the year?"

"Oh, I was in Alola! I went there for a vacation but then I studied in a college there and then later challenged the league!" Ash replied, "This time, I won!"

"That's great!" Serena said smiling. They too talked for some more time while Cobalt helped out Delia in making dinner.

After a while all four had dinner. On the dinner table, Ash and Serena both told Delia and Cobalt about how they met in the Summer camp. It didn't take Delia much time to figure out about Serena's crush on Ash.

Then Ash asked, "So Serena when are your the showcases starting?"

"It will start by next month or the month after I guess, "Serena replied.

"So what are you gonna do for that time?" Ash asked again.

"I am gonna stay in Kanto, Palermo told me to stay in Kanto to train saying she will come to check my progress. She is really keen on seeing me as the Kanto queen, "Serena replied.

"So where are you gonna stay for that while?" Delia asked Serena.

"Uh... The Pokemon Centre in Viridian City, my luggage is there for now" Serena replied.

"Uh-uh, " Delia said, "Since you are a good friend of Ash you can stay in our house, we have a guest room free."

"I don't want to be a burden on you, " Serena replied. "You won't be a burden, we would be more than happy if you stay here!" Delia said. After a bit more persuading by Delia, Serena accepted her offer.

"Brilliant, Ash you will go with Serena tomorrow to get her luggage!" Delia said to which Ash nodded.

After some more talking all four decided to was time to sleep. Ash and Cobalt both went to there room. Delia let Serena borrow her clothes for the night.

--Next Day--

Next morning Ash and Serena both set off on Ash's Charizard to get her stuff from Viridian City Pokemon Centre. After a brief stop in Viridian City, the two headed back to Pallet Town on the fire-flying types back.

When they landed in front of there house they saw Cobalt going somewhere with a bag slung on his shoulders. Ash asked, "Hey Cob where are you going?"

"Huh?" Cobalt looked at Ash, surprised to see him suddenly appear, "Oh, today is the last practical exam in school! I am going for that!"

"What kind of practical exam?" Ash asked. "Its a Pokemon hunt we have to find some Pokemon in the Pallet Woods!"
