"You... love him?" Ash's voice cracked.
Serena looked away, guilt flashing across her face. "Ash... you've always been kind, and you've always tried your best. But... you're not strong enough. You're always chasing your dream, but never reaching it. I... I can't keep waiting."
Those words stabbed deeper than any blade. Pikachu growled in anger, but Ash put a trembling hand on his partner to stop him.
"I thought..." Ash whispered, his voice shaking. "I thought we were in this together."
Serena bit her lip, tears threatening to fall. "I'm sorry, Ash. But I need someone who's already strong... someone who can protect me, who can actually stand at the top. You're still just... dreaming."
Her words echoed like poison in his ears. Ash turned away, his eyes burning, but no tears fell. Not yet.
That night, as he left Lumiose City behind, his heart had hardened. For the first time in his life, Ash didn't just want to be the very best-he needed to be. Not for fun, not for adventure, not even for his friends.
He wanted to prove Serena wrong.
He wanted revenge.
And so began his journey-not as the boy chasing dreams, but as the man who would crush them. His eyes set on the Pokémon Masters Tournament, the first one to ever occur, the place where only the strongest survived, the place where the strongest will be born.
This time, Ash swore he wouldn't lose.
This time, he would stand at the top.
And when he did... Serena would see what she had thrown away.

Happy Married Life
A Love Rekindled Through Time They met once in the golden dawn of childhood, A memory long buried beneath the weight of years, But fate, ever a quiet artist, painted their paths to cross again- And when they did, the world seemed to pause in awe. Now, in the hush of morning light, Ash and Serena wake to laughter shared in whispers, Coffee steam dancing between stolen glances, Hearts beating in harmony like a melody once forgotten, now remembered. Ash-the warrior with the soul of fire, Serena-the dreamer with the heart of grace. He finds peace in her soft-spoken smiles, She finds strength in his unwavering embrace. Their days are stitched with gentle routines- Pikachu curled by the hearth, Poképuffs in the oven, Training sessions followed by tangled fingers and stargazing on the porch. Sometimes, the silence between them says more than a thousand words. Sometimes, her fingers brush his scars, And he kisses her knuckles-each one a promise. No grand declarations, no burning need to prove- Just two souls who have already wandered the world, And found home not in a place, But in each other.Complete

The Stars of Our Future (Amourshipping)
"You can't leave me, Ash!" Serena exclaims, grasping on his soaked jacket. Ash smiles, and brings her chin up to his face. They admire each other's faces. For just one, last time. He carefully, yet gently, removes from her grasp, and takes of his jacket. "Here Serena, to remember me by." Serena takes his jacket, and brings it to her closely. He grabs her hands, and takes one last glimpse of her ocean-blue eyes. And with that, he ran off. Tears streaming down his face. It has been 3 years since they've seen one another. Will they confess their love for each other by then? Or will it be too late? ----- DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POKÉMON. ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS.Complete

Opposites Attract
[Highest ranked #1 in Amourshipping] "Everyone have their own love story, they just need a little push to get it going." There's Serena Yvonne, the top student in Pokémon High. Known as "Miss Perfect" by every student around the school. Responsible, modest, reliable-she was basically everyone's' ideal role model. She has everything someone could ever want. But she's missing something. Something important. Love, perhaps? Then there's Ash Ketchum, well known as the school's heart throb. His careless, nonchalant, river-like personality lets him get away with almost anything. Despite being chased by girls everyday, Ash only thinks of romance as an entertainment and has no intention of getting serious with it. Realistically speaking, the two doesn't have much to say to each other. And the percentage of the two falling in love with each other is a close zero, but this is where fate comes in. And as they all say... Opposites attract! --------------------------------- Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon or any of the characters in this story ---------------------------------Complete
