Romance | Tennis | Identity Reveal | Drama | Slow Burn

What if Serena never knew Ash-not even as kids?
That single change reshaped everything.

After failing her first Showcase and losing her sense of purpose, Serena decides to carve her own destiny. With only boys allowed into Kalos Technical Sports Academy-the path to becoming a top tennis champion-she disguises herself as Lucas to claim her place on the court.

Ash Ketchum, now seventeen, still dreams of being the very best Pokémon Master. But alongside that, he's testing himself as a tennis player-balancing both ambitions while chasing new challenges. When he's paired with "Lucas" as a doubles partner, their chemistry on the court is undeniable. Off the court, Ash begins to wrestle with unexpected feelings for his mysterious partner... never realizing it's Serena, the very person his heart was always meant for.

But shadows stir beyond the courts. Red's desperate quest to save their father ties to a hidden force, and distortions ripple through reality-linking Ash and Serena to memories of their former XY selves. As rivals, friends, and old companions return, their journey becomes more than just tennis. It becomes a story of disguise, destiny, and love that refuses to be forgotten.

He was chasing greatness. She was chasing her dream.
In this AU, they never met... so why do their hearts remember?

On the court, they're unstoppable. Off the court, her disguise hides the truth.
Every déjà vu whispers a love that shouldn't exist.

She only wanted victory. He was the one who made her believe in love.
Yet their souls remember a bond from another life.
