"Mom, I'm home!" Ash shouted, closing the front door behind him and Pikachu jumped from his shoulder to the floor.

Ash had just returned home from his journey to Kalos and the memories of it still swirled fresh in his head. He couldn’t wait to get to tell his mom about them.

Delia Ketchum came into the hallway and smiled when she saw her son. She came to Ash and hugged this tightly. "It's wonderful to have you home again," she said, and Ash exclaimed, "Mom, let go, you strangle me!"

Delia let go of her son from her hug, laughing. She then squatted and scratched Pikachu, who sits on the floor, behind his ear. "Nice to see you Pikachu too," she said with a smile and Pikachu said happily, "Pikachu!"

Delia got up and watched as Ash tried to straighten his hair in it very unsuccessfully and then said, "So, Ash, are you hungry? I know it's pretty late, but maybe it doesn't hurt so much now"

Ash opened his mouth to answer, but his stomach handled it by growling on his behalf. "So it is," Delia said with a smile. "Come to the kitchen and I'll make something to eat"

"So, Ash, what was your trip to Kalos like?" Delia asked as she made herself tea.

"Awesome!" exclaimed Ash's mouth full of food and continued, "I met many great people and the Kalos League was awesome, even though I didn't win it." Pikachu agreed, exclaiming while eating satisfying ketchup from a ketchup bottle: "Pika!"

Suddenly, Ash remembered a fresh memory of the very end of his journey from the airport. The memory of a honey-blond girl running towards him on an escalator.. and... The memory gave Ash a strange feeling he didn't recognize, a special warmth in his chest that really felt pretty nice and he felt a strange warmth in his cheeks when he thought of the memory and the honey-blond girl. Am I going to sick, he thought and Pikachu looked at his trainer with concern when this had suddenly gone silent.

"That's nice to hear," Delia said with a smile as she spins her tea with a spoon and sat down at the table opposite Ash. She noticed that Ash had gone strangely quiet and she asked, a little worried, "Ash, is something wrong?"

Ash didn't answer right away. He suddenly didn’t get Serena away from his head and the girl and especially her last act spun in his mind. Ash felt the heat on his cheeks grow as he thought about it.

"Actually.. yeah, there's something that bothers me," he said slowly, wondering why Serena's thinking made him feel that way. Delia listened with interest.

Ash's blushing had not gone unnoticed by her. "Oh, I see," she said, drinking some tea. "Would it be that this 'something' is someone important to you, maybe some girl and you don't get her in your mind?"

Ash looked up at his mother in amazement. "How did you guess?" he asked in wonder and Delia smiled. "I am your mother and mothers know everything," she explained smiling mysteriously. She watched as her son nodded slowly and thought Ash clearly had some feelings for this girl. "Would you like to tell me something about her?"

Pikachu saw it best at this point to leave Ash and this mother of two and he took his bottle of ketchup and ran upstairs to Ash's room, where Ash then later found him asleep and curled up next to an empty bottle of ketchup.

"Sure. Her name is Serena and she's an awesome person! She's a Pokemon Performer and she's awesome in it! (Ash quickly explained to his mom what the performing was) She was really close to winning the Kalos Queen Aria and becoming the Kalos Queen herself. She also likes to bake and she knows how to make really good macarons and Pokepuffs! She also likes fashion and clothes and shopping and she also knows how to sew really well! Her favorite color is pink and she has three Pokemon, Braixen, Pancham, and Sylveon and she loves them really much. And she's also a very good Pokemon battler"
