Author's note: Hey guys. Thought I'd start another story. Not too long and doesn't connect to any of my other stories. Hope u all enjoy it.
New friend
Ash, Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont were headed to Lumiose city, the site of the Kalos League. On the way there, the group decided to take a break and relax for a bit.
"Hey guys. I'm going for a walk. Be back in a few" Serena says.
"Okay. Just be back for lunch" Clemont replied. Serena nods
"And be careful. Don't know what kind of wild Pokemon are out there" Ash says to his friend. Serena blushes and walks into the forest
In the forest, Serena was thinking about something important; her feelings for Ash. Every since he saved her in the forest when they were little, she had a crush on him. Now they they have travel together for the last couple months, that crush has turned into love. She loved him deeply. But the problem was she was too scared to tell him and Ash was to dense to know himself. What made it worst was their journey was about to end. If she didn't act soon, she would lose him forever. While in her thoughts, Serena hears screaming.
"What was that" Serena starts listening for where the sound was coming from.
"HELP ME. HELP ME" She hears and starts following the sound.
She soon reaches near a cliff and sees what was making the screaming. A black haired girl with Zs on her cheeks, suspicious similar to ash's, and about her age was dangling off the cliff about to fall any second now.
"Oh no. Hang on" She runs toward the girl and helps her up.
"Thank you so much" she says to Serena
"No problem. My name is Serena" Serena replies as she helps the girl off the ground
"I'm Valerie. Nice to meet u Serena" She shakes Serena's hand
"Valerie. Tell me. What were u doing dangling off the edge" Valerie looks embarrassed
"Not like I did it on purpose. I was just walking down here when I suddenly slipped off the edge. Guess that's what I get for walking too close to the edge" She says nervously. Serena laughs
"Come with me. My friends and I are having lunch and we would love for you to join us" Valerie looks very excited
"Anything for the girl that just saved my life" and they walk towards the camp site.
Serena and Valerie arrive and she greets her friends
"Hey Serena. Just in time. Lunch's almost ready. Wait who's the girl" Ash asks
"Guys. This is Valerie. I found her in the forest and invited her for lunch" Serena replied
"Found me? Serena saved me. I fell off the edge of the cliff and almost fell if she didn't save me" Valerie exclaims. The others are surprised
"Wow Serena. You're a hero" Bonnie says with excitement
"Hold on. Serena what were you doing by the cliff? I told you to be careful" Ash says sternly
"Sorry Ash. I heard her scream so I ran over there. If I had been late, she would have fell" Serena replies
"Wow Serena. Sorry for being stern. I'm proud of you" Serena blushes and Valerie notices "Anyways. Valerie. I'm Ash. That's Clemont and Bonnie" The siblings introduce themselves" We would to have you for lunch" Valerie smiles and joins them at the table, sitting next to Serena.
"So Valerie. Where are you from?" Clemont asks
"I'm from Couriway town. I was actually headed to Lumiose City for the Kalos League" Valerie responds
"No kidding. We are going there too. Ash is competing in it" Bonnie says
"Really. Then is it okay if I come with you on the way there" Valerie asks
"Of course. We won't mind. Right Ash?" Serena asks Ash
"I'm okay with it" Valerie smiles
After lunch, Clemont was helping Ash train for the league while Serena, Bonnie, and Valerie were watching. While they were watching, Valerie noticed Serena was particularly looking at Ash while he was battling.
"Hey Bonnie. What's with Serena? Why is Serena constantly looking at Ash and blushing" Valerie whispers
"Isn't it obvious? Serena has a crush on Ash" Bonnie whispers back
"Wait. Really? For how long?" Valerie looks shocked but has a smile on her face
"They met when they were little kids. Ever since then, Serena has had a crush on him. She just hasn't found the confidence to tell him" Bonne replies
"I see" Valerie begins to think
"Don't tell her I told you this" Bonnie warns her. Valerie smiles
"Don't worry I won't" and Valerie walks up to Serena
"Hey Serena. Can we talk?" She asks kindly
Serena smiles "Sure" and they walk to a private place to talk
"What's up" Serena asks
"Serena. Do you have a crush on Ash" Serena asks
"Is it that obvious?" She says nervously
"Yea pretty much" Valerie says while laughing
"Well yes I like no love Ash.. I have since we were kids but I'm too scared to tell him" Serena says very sadly
"Why are you scared" Valerie asks
"I'm scared because Ash is so dense. He doesn't know how I feel" She says
"He won't know till you tell him" Valerie responds
"It's too late now. After the kalos league, Ash will be going home and besides it's not like he likes me back. I rather hold in my feelings then be rejected" Serena says
"Are you sure?" Valerie asks
" Yes. Come let's go back to camp" Serena says
"You go on ahead. I'll join you in a couple minutes" Serena nods and walks back leaving Valerie alone
"You never change. Also was too shy to tell him how you feel. That's why I'm here. I'll help you two become one. I promise you this. Before we get to Lumiose City for the Kalos league, Ash will fall in love with you…..mom" Valerie says out load and walks back to camp
Back at camp, Serena and Bonnie were playing with their Pokemon with Valerie, Clemont was working on his inventions, and Ash continued with his training. While, playing with the Pokemon, Valerie was in deep thoughts
"Even as a kid, dad always focused on training his Pokemon more than anything. Now how do I make him fall in love with mom" She starting thinking until finally getting an idea
"Hey guys. Its getting late, should we get ready for dinner" she asks
"Yea sure. And after dinner, you can share a tent with me and Serena" Bonnie says. Valerie nods
"Great. So should one of us get some wood for the fire" Valerie
"Sure. I'll go out and get some" Serena volunteers
"Oh no. You're not going alone. I'll go with you" Ash says. Serena blushes and nods. While Valerie smiles
"I knew it. Dad would never let mom go off on her own, even as a kid. This proves he loves her" Valeries thinks with excitement
"Okay guys we'll be back" Ash says. The others nod and Ash goes with Serena to get wood
"You knew that was going to happen, didn't you Valerie" Bonnie says. Valerie is shocked
"What. No. How would I have known Ash would go with Serena?" Valerie says nervously
"Yea Bonnie. How would she have known?" Clemont asks his sister
"I told her about Serena's crush and she smiled when Ash said he would go with her to get the wood. She obviously planned it. Didn't you Valerie?" Valerie sighs
"Yes. I did. I guess you guys should know this, but don't tell Ash or Serena" Bonnie and Clemont nod
"Relax we won't. So what do we need to know?"
"I'm from the future" She says. Clemont and Bonnie are shocked
"What? How?" Bonnie asks
"Well this is what happened" She starts "I was at my dad's childhood friend's lab. He took over as Professor after his Grandfather's death. His grandfather, before he died, was studying Dialga and Celebi's ability to travel back in time. Using the research, my dad's friend was able to create a time machine. I had just gotten my first Pokemon and was about to start my journey when I heard about this machine, I went to his lab. He asked me to help test it and I agreed. My parents, though at first against it, let me do it. I traveled 25 years into the past and landed right by the cliff and nearly fell off. Lucky someone I knew from my time saved me. So that's pretty much my story" Clemont and Bonnie are stunned
"Wait. You know Serena in the future" Valerie nods
"Yes. She is my mother" The siblings are more shocked
"WHAT. ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Valerie nods
"Yes. I recognized her instantly when she saved me and I think you can guess who my dad is"
"Ash. Ash is your dad. That explains why you have Zs on your cheeks like Ash. But if Ash and Serena are going to end up together in the future, why are you trying to get them together?" Clemont asks
"That I can't tell you. All I can say is I've traveled back to this time for a reason"
"Well we are okay with that. I always thought Ash and Serena would make a cute couple. Right Clemont?" Bonnie says
"Yes. So what can we do to help" he asks
"Nothing. I have to do this on my own. Hope you understand" Valerie responds. Clemont and Bonnie both reluctantly agree
"Hey guys we are back" Ash and Serena arrive with the wood
"Okay. Come on guys. Let's get ready for dinner" Clemont says and they all start getting ready
"Part one or mission amour complete, time for part two" Valerie thinks
And so Ash and the gang have met a new friend who is here for one goal, get Ash and Serena together. Will she be able to get her future parents together….
Valerie goes into her bag and looks at a picture of her and her parents and smiles

Preview of next chapter
"Hey Ash, I have a question?" Valerie says
"Sure. What's up?" Ash replies
"What are your feelings for Serena?"
"What do you mean my feelings? She is my childhood friend. I feel for her as a friend"
"What if she got hurt? How would you feel?"
"What? If Serena ever got hurt, I would blame myself. I can't see Serena in pain"
"Guess that means you don't just like her as a friend. You are in love with her"
"What. I love Serena"
"Yup. Next time on Pokemon" Valerie starts
"Love is in the air" Ash continues
"Everyone go Pokemon" They both says
