AMOUR UNION

Life's Greatest Challenge

Once upon the last night of a golden summer, there was a girl and a boy. The girl was named Serena. The boy was named Ash Ketchum. They have met at Professor Oak's Pokémon summer camp when they were little.

Ash helped her out when she injured her leg after being scared by a Poliwag. He told her never to give up until it's over. He walked her back to camp. That's when she began to develop feelings for the boy.

It would only take years for Faith to bring them back together in the Kalos region. Serena has always cheered on for Ash in his Gym Battles. Ash has helped Serena realize her dream. Because of him, Serena has found her life's goal. To become Kalos Queen.

Eventually, she had achieved her goal. As for Ash, he achieved his goal of becoming Pokémon Master by winning the Lumiose conference and defeating Diantha, the Kalos Champion. Before Ash left Kalos, Serena confessed her feelings to him. His response was that he accepted those feelings and felt the same way about her.

For 11 years now, they have been together. But life's greatest challenge of all was still waiting to begin for both of them.

Tonight, was a special night for Ash and Serena. Tonight, they celebrate the 11th anniversary of the start of their relationship. On this very night, Ash felt that it was time for them to take their relationship to the next level. But to do that, he needs to take Serena to the spot where they first met, when they were just kids. He has a surprise for Serena and he's going to need help from his and her Pokemon, in order to make this work.

"Are we there yet, Ash?" Serena complained, as her boyfriend was leading her through a part of a forest in Pallet Town for what felt like hours to her.

"Almost, Serena. Just be patient and we'll be there shortly," said Ash, who was walking in front of the blonde-haired performer.

"Ok," Serena responded, with a nervous tone in her voice. "If you say so."

They walked and walked through the woods for several more minutes; until finally, they've reached their destination.

"We're here!" Ash stated, as he pulled Serena and place her in front of the boy.

Serena looked around and immediately recognized this part of the forest. As soon as she saw that tree, the performer remembered something important from her past.

"Ash, this is where-" Serena started to say before Ash finished her thought.

"Where we first met, as kids."

Serena looked around the area and started to walk over to the spot, where the tree was standing tall.

Serena then asked her boyfriend, "Ash, what are we doing here anyway?"

"We're here because I have a surprise for you, Serena," responded Ash, with a small grin forming on the young trainer's face.

Serena's face was expressing curiosity as she wonders about Ash's surprise.

"Really? What is it?" asked the curious performer.

"Just look up in the sky and you'll see it," Ash answered.

As Serena looked up to the night sky, Ash turned around and activated his walkie talkie and whispered into it.

"You ready, buddy?"

"Pika!" the voice from the walkie talkie exclaimed.

Outside the forest, Ash's best friend, Pikachu, stood in front of a group, which contain most of Ash and Serena's Pokemon. It would seem that they were part of Ash's surprise to Serena. Pikachu was in charge of this operation. It would make sense, especially since Pikachu has been together with Ash, throughout his travels.
