Ash: Something special?... What could that be?
Oak: You'll find out soon enough, but for now you must prepare for your years ahead as you'll attend Sycamore High while meeting new people.
Ash: Yay... Can't wait to work with others. Especially since I struggled with Iris calling me a kid every five seconds.
Pikachu: Pika рі...
Slouching back into his wooden chair, Ash folded his arms thinking about what the future inside Sycamore High would bring for him and his Pokemon until his daydreaming was interrupted by a soft gentle voice.
Delia: Dear?
Ash: Yes mum? What is it?
Delia: I've made you some new clothes for when we arrive in Kalos. I've made multiple copies of the outfit, so you'll never run out!
Ash: Wow mum! They look awesome, thank you!
Ash was given a black shirt just like his night shirt along with a blue jacket to put over which had a small white semi circle at the top. The outfit also came with light blue trousers followed by red and black trainers. He also received a red and white hat marked by a white arch. Finally finishing the puzzle was his basic black finger less gloves with red elastic fabric at the bottom which would wrap around his wrist.
Oak: When will your official moving day be?
Delia: Tomorrow will be our last full day here in Pallet town, and we plan to leave around twelve.
Oak: A day and a half it seems. Ash make sure to keep me updated on your progress in Kalos.
Ash: I'll try not to forget Professor.
Gary: Oh one last thing Ash. Have you heard what Kalos is famous for?
Ash: No?... What is it famous for?
Gary: It's known as the region of love, so maybe you'll finally find a girlfriend.
Ash: GARY!
Gary: Jeez... Calm down Ashy boy. Take it like a man because you look embarrassed with that bright red face of yours.
Instead of attacking of Gary with a few punches, Ash slumped back into the wooden chair as his face gradually returned back to its pale state. After everyone had devoured the food from their plates and helped Delia wash up. Professor Oak, Tracey and Gary left leaving Ash with a gift of thoughts about someone.
Ash: Hey mum?
Delia: What is it dear?
Ash: Do you have any photos of me or just in general of Professor Oak's summer camp from ten years ago?
Delia: Yes! In fact I have many of them tucked away inside an album!
Ash: Would it be alright If I could take a look at them?
Delia: I don't see why not. Let me go fetch them from my bedroom for you.
A few minutes later Delia returned downstairs handing over a dusty old album with a brown case covering it.
Ash: Thank you mum! You don't mind if they take this to my room do you?
Delia: Be my guest. I have no quarrels with it.
Ash: Thanks again mum! Pikachu, lets head to bed!
Pikachu: Pika!
Ash and Pikachu dashed upstairs for the third time already today, then jumped into bed leaving their lampshade on for a source of light allowing them to see each photograph clearly.
Ash: Where is she?... She must be in here somewhere.
Pikachu: Pika?
The electric mouse watched his trainer flick through the pages of the album creating a small cloud of dust proving how old the album was. It wasn't long until Pikachu eventually fell asleep. However, his nap was quickly provoked as Ash shouted in relief as he found a group photo of all the campers who attended the event.
Ash hovered his index finger above the photo scanning each and every individual in the picture until he recognised a face peering over a tall child's shoulder at the back. Next to the young girl the Kantonian noticed his baby like face emitting a rather large grin which wasn't a surprise.
The young girl was around the age of six when the photo was taken, she had bright sparkly blue eyes, long hazel hair and a elegant smile showing off her bright white teeth. Seeing her face again brought a smile upon Ash's face, but he wanted to remember her name.
Not being able to find it on the photo, Ash flicked to the back of the album to find a very long list of names which happened to be all the kids that attended the camp. Once again he allowed his finger to scan through each name until he read one which stood out for him.
Ash: Serena Yvonne... That must be her name!
