Authors note: All Pokemon are at the same evolution stage

10 Years into the future…

Ching, Ching, Ching

At the Pokémon center, Serena was inserting silver coins with a Magikarp's on them into the payphone. Her appearance had barely changed. Her small fox Pokémon was sitting at the bench napping. The old-fashioned phone was ringing as Serena closed the door to the booth so no one could hear her conversation. She sighed to herself. For the past years, her life was amazing, yet she was so lonely. She was known for her PokeVision Videos and she had a love for cooking. Right now she was in Lumiose city. Suddenly, someone picked up the phone.

"Hi mom. How are you?" a girl on the other end said.

"Hi sweetie. I just want you to know that I'm going to be a little late tonight" Serena told her.

"Oh. We barely have any time to see each other though"

"I know, but I'll find some time. Bye"

"Bye mom"

Serena put the phone back. She opened the door and walked out of the phone booth. She woke Fennekin up and walked out of the Pokémon center. She had a daughter. Her name was Cocoa. Although she didn't have a last name since her father died. Serena didn't marry Ash though. When he left for his journey, she didn't get the chance to tell him. She moved on and married someone else. After that, she never once thought of Ash. Cocoa was named for her long, dark brown hair as dark as cocoa beans. She always wore a beautiful, white flower in her hair and had crystal blue eyes as clear as the ocean. Her usual look would be short, brown jeans and a light green t-shirt decorated with a green leaf design. In other words, she dressed up to be closer to nature. Serena was having trouble supporting them both. Without a second parent or sibling, Cocoa was very lonely. Serena walked for a few miles outside. She had moved to Lumiose city and worked at her own bakery shop. Each and every day she had the pleasure of giving valued customers sweet and delicious desserts. Like every other day, it was always the same until today. Inside her shop, it had the sweet scent of gingerbread. The shop was decorated with little cookies on the walls. The display cases were filled with freshly baked treats. Serena was rolling out cookie dough when two familiar looking customers came in. The bell on the door chimed letting Serena know someone was there. A tall, blonde boy with glasses was wiping his shoes on the mat. He had a light blue outfit and a white backpack. His younger sister was full with energy as always. She had blonde hair as well. She had barely changed. Even though she was older, she had stayed around the same height and hair style. A little Dedenne was napping quietly in her pouch. Serena was filled with joy as she hugged both of them.

"Clemont, Bonnie, It's been so long. How've you been doing?" Serena exclaimed happily.

Clemont and Bonnie stared at each other with a shocked expression. For a bit, they thought she was a stranger but then realized it was Serena. Shock melted into joy as they hugged her back. The three of them were back together, once again.

"Serena, I didn't know you owned this bakery?" Bonnie said in awe.

"I do. I moved to here with my daughter a few years ago" Serena explained.

"Clemont and I work at the Lumiose city gym. Ever since Clembot broke down and our journey ended, we've decided to take back the business and go back to the gym. We barely have any time off so when we heard of the sweets here, we decided to take some time off. We didn't expect to see you here"

"You know, maybe we could have a little reunion at my place later. We could have dinner and catch up. Are you guys free?"

Bonnie looked at Clemont for an answer. Clemont smiled.

"We love to stop by. We could use a break for a while. It's always so busy at the gym" Clemont said as he accepted her offer. "I could bring Chespin and Bunnelby over and we could have fun just like old times"

"Speaking of old times, Fennekin, could you come over here" Serena called.

Fennekin walked over to the two blonde trainers. Clemont and Bonnie were over joyed to see her. Clemont reached into his scientific pack and pulled out a purple potion. He handed it to Serena who had a strange look on her face.

"I see you still have a love for inventing" Serena said.

"Here, try this. It lets your Pokémon talk" Clemont explained to her.

Serena told Fennekin to drink it. Fennekin drank the potion slowly. It had a sweet taste of Oran berries and a bitter after taste. She wiped her mouth and opened her mouth to speak.

"Love the drink, hate the after taste" Fennekin said.

Serena was astonished. It took ten years, but an invention made by Clemont worked perfectly. She hugged Fennekin in her arms and put her back on the couch in the break room so she could go back to sleep.

"Anyway, what can I get for you? It's on me" Serena told them.

"We'll just have a small piece of cake each and that's all" Clemont ordered.

Serena took two pieces of cake and carefully placed it in a to-go box. She gave it to Clemont along with a house address and they walked out the store. The bell chimed as the door closed behind them. As Serena cleaned the counter top with a rag, she hummed a catchy tune.

Clemont and Bonnie were walking back to the gym located inside the prism tower. The tower reached up to the sky and touched the white, puffy clouds. They opened the door and walked into a room with a lot of circuits and electrical wires. The computer let them into the battle field where they sat at the sidebar. Bonnie looked up to her brother.

"I can't believe Serena lives in Lumiose city now" Bonnie said.

"This is just like the old days" Clemont said with a smile. "C'mon Bonnie, let's find Chespin and Bunnelby and get ready for dinner"

"On it" Bonnie said and she rushed to find the two Pokeballs. Of course, Clemont had given them the potion that Fennekin had so now they could speak as well.

Later that night at Serena's house….

Serena took out her key and unlocked the door to find her daughter watching the plants in the backyard grows. The backyard had flower beds along the sides of the wooden fences along with cobblestone pathways. The thing that Cocoa loved the most was the apple tree in the center. The sun was setting over the Horizon as Serena called Cocoa to come inside. Cocoa set the table in the kitchen quietly.

"Remember your manners at dinner when our guest arrive" Serena ordered.

Cocoa laughed.

"Mom, I'm ten years old. I know how to behave. What do you think of my center piece? I picked them outside"

Serena looked over to find red roses in a silver vase. Her daughter really did have a love for plants. Not only that but she loved helping Pokémon. In the backyard, her only companion that she talked to was a Skiddo. Each day, she would give him apples that she picked from the tree. She really was one with nature.

"I love it" Serena told her.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it mom"

Cocoa opened the door to find Clemont and Bonnie.

"You must be my mom's friends. She told me so much about you"

"And I'm guessing you're her daughter" Clemont said.

"Uh-huh. My name's Cocoa"

"I'm Clemont and this is Bonnie"

"Come right this way"

They all sat at the dinner table as Serena brought out steaming vegetables and homemade pasta. Cocoa finished early so Clemont let her play with his Pokémon for a while in the living room.

"Wow! They can talk. I wish Skiddo could do that"

"Wish granted" Clemont said as he pulled out another potion.

Cocoa ran into the backyard and played with the Pokémon in the grass. Now that the three of them were alone again, they talked about what had happened in their lives.

"Where's her father?" Bonnie asked.

"She doesn't have one. She did but he passed away because of a heart-attack"

"Oh"

"So, what have you guys been doing?"

"Just many gym battles. I wonder what happened to Ash though?"

Serena didn't remember Ash much until now.

"I think he's back in Pallet town. I can call Prof. Oak and we could have a little get together"

"That sounds great!"

Serena went to the phone and dialed. Soon, a familiar voice talked from the other end.

"Hello?" Ash called.
