Serena

Serena is a Pokemon Performer and Coordinator, from Vaniville Town, Kalos. While she used to be a travelling companion of Ash's, they parted ways at the end of their Kalos journey, before reuniting at the Pokemon Summer Camp, as members of Team Greninja.

## History

**Pre-Series**

Serena, as a young girl, travelled to Kanto to take part in Professor Oak's Summer Camp. While walking around in the forest, she became scared of a wild Poliwag, causing her to fall over and injure her knee. Luckily, a young Ash Ketchum - who was also at the Summer Camp - discovered her, and wrapped a handkerchief around her wound, promising her it would make her feel better, and to 'not give up until it's over'. Ash helped Serena out of the forest, and they parted ways when Serena returned to the Kalos region at the end of the Summer Camp.

**Pokemon the Series: XY**

Serena was watching TV one day and on the news she saw a brave 10 year old boy who climbed top of Prism Tower in Lumiose to calm down a raging Garchomp, that boy was of course Ash Ketchum. She then went to Lumiose City to give him back the handkerchief he gave to her so long ago. Once she met up with him she gave him some encouraging words to win his Gym battle. He later invited her to join him and his new friends, Clemont and Bonnie, on their journey. On their journey they helped each other out many times. Serena many times showed that she had feelings for Ash, even though he did not realise it. They need up parting ways in Lumuose airport where she ended up kissing him. Serena then travelled to Hoenn to hone her skills and grow as a person.

**Pre-Pokemon Summer Camp**

Serena, after arriving in Hoenn, became a Pokemon Coordinator, competing in Contests with her Pokemon.

At some point, Serena caught a Swablu, who she evolved into an Altaria.

**Pokemon Summer Camp**

Serena arrived at the Pokemon Summer Camp with Miette, where they were split apart during the team selection process. Here, she reunited with Ash, Clemont and Bonnie, and met Ash's friends Goh and Chloe. Serena joined a team with Ash, Goh and Chloe - Team Greninja.

Throughout the Summer Camp, Ash and Serena developed a closer bond, as members of the same team. On Day 10, Serena, Dawn and Chloe began Operation: Ash and Serena, which was their attempt to get Ash and Serena to talk to each other romantically. As a result of this, Ash and Serena went on a private date in the food hall, with Mallow cooking them meals.

Ash and Serena's date was succesful, with the two discussing how they parted ways at the Lumiose Airport, and Serena confessed that she liked him as more than just a friend. Ash was surprised but said he felt close to Serena too, before suggesting that he should arrange another date in the future.

On Day 22, during Team Greninja's performance in the Acting Competition event, Ash broke the script they planned, and instead decided to use the moment to ask Serena to be his girlfriend, mid-performance. Serena happily accepted, making the pair an official couple.

**AmourShipping Mystery Dungeon**

On a normal day, Ash and Serena were spending time together, when suddenly they both passed out. They soon woke up in another world, inhabited by only Pokemon. And, to make things stranger, they had been transformed into Pokemon! Ash was a Pikachu, and Serena was an Eevee!

**Halloween Arc**

Ash and Serena travelled to the Wild Area in Galar. A rampaging Gigantamax Gengar opened a portal to the Ghost World, and dragged them into it. Luckily, they were saved by Allister and his Dusknoir, before they were lost forever.

As Halloween got closer, Ash and Serena returned to Kalos, and decided to take Bonnie trick-or-treating. Ash asked Nebby to be their personal taxi for the day, and Nebby happily obliged. Ash, Serena and Bonnie went trick-or-treating all around the world, on the back of Solgaleo. Along the way, they saw Kiawe, Mimo, Harper, Sarah, May, Max, Dawn, Cynthia, Alain and Mairin.

Ash, Serena, Goh, Chloe, Korrina, Bea and Allister had a Halloween Sleepover, to celebrate the holiday.

Ash and Serena also hosted a Halloween party, inviting Dawn, Goh, Chloe, May, Max, Brock, Tracey, Gary, Paul, Gladion, Lillie, Clemont, Bonnie, Miette and more.

**Christmas Arc**

...

**Confession of Love Arc**

While Ash and Serena were visiting Delia in Pallet Town, Serena got into an argument with Misty, over who would spend time with Ash. She was unsure why she had this emotional response, so she spent time with Ash's mom - Delia - to discuss what was going on. Delia helped Serena realise that her feelings for Ash were becoming deeper and deeper, and that perhaps she was beginning to love him. This helped her understand why she had such a hard time seeing him with Misty, since he was aware of Misty's past feelings toward Ash.

Ash and Serena reunited later that day, with Serena apologising to Ash, for making him and Misty uncomfortable with the argument. Serena then decided to travel to Cerulean City alone, to make peace with Misty, and apologise for their argument.

**Sinnoh Arc**

Ash and Serena decided to travel to Sinnoh, so Serena could participant in the Floaroma Contest, with Dawn and Kenny.

Combee, for a long period of time, we incredibly over-protective towards Serena, and refused to branch out or become more confident, because she always wanted to be around Serena. But over time, Serena and some others - like Ash and Ash's Pidgeot - helped Combee grow, to the point that she became more independent and thus healthier.
