AmourShipping (Ash x Serena) Thread

Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

So I made this creepypasta (or so I was told it was) as a response to a prompt entitled

What do you think the significance of the handkerchief is?

Well you see, once upon a time Ash wasn't such a good person. He used to be an even wilder child than he already is. The reason for that was because one day he was cutting pokepreschool class (because who needs to be literate or do math? NERDS THATS WHO) and went out as a little kid into the dark and musty forest of route 1. There is a very good reason why the general restrictions for travel is 10 years of age and a starter. There was even a sign on the road saying PEOPLE UNDER TEN WITH NO POKEMON NOT ALLOWED TO CROSS.

But since literacy is FOR NERDS. Ash went on his merry way.

Unlike what the games wanted people to think, route 1 had more to it than a few ledges and patches of tall grass. For one it took longer than 30 seconds to cross, for 2 one could go through the trees. Ash saw a sign with an ursaring on it with the words saying DANGER DO NOT ENTER at a small trail off to the side of the road. As he was marveling at how awesome the pokemon must have been, a wild ratata ran past him into the woods, ash gave up trying to read the sign (BECAUSE READING IS FOR NERDS) and took off running after the ratata.

Because Delia Ketchum was a single mother with no credentials whatsoever she was incapable of getting a real job. Instead she lived off handouts from professor oak while doing odd jobs around Pallet for very little money to feed her son. (This would all change when ash started placing in pokemon leagues years down the line with all his prize money going to her) Her best friend and fellow poor single mother was an underground Rhyhorn racer named Grace. While she practiced her art in at night, during the day she would often babysit Ash and her daughter Serena while Delia scrubbed floors and washed clothes for a living.

Serena was the same age as Ash, but he didn't like her very much. The reason was that she could read which made her a nerd. And ash didn't like nerds. Always pracing around with their books and their pencils. He didn't need any of that because he was going to be a pokemon master. And pokemon masters were cool. And cool people are not nerds.

After school was over, Grace went to pick up the children while Delia was working late cleaning Oak's lab. She found her way over to her daughter and asked, "WHere's Ash?" Turned out Serena had no idea. Gary didn't know either. No one at Pallet Preschool knew where Ash ketchum went. Grace quickly escorted Serena home before retriveing her rhyhorn and leading it around Pallet on foot. The reason for that being Kanto Transportation law #345 section Q article 421. The riding of any pokemon while not on water is strictly prohibibited and will be fined with 15 years in prison if caught. Said draconic law was passed due to large amounts of Graft from the bicicyle shop owner who obtained his wealth with a monopoly on $1,000,000 bicycles.

Meanwhile back on route 1, Ash ran deeper and deeper into the forest until he tripped and fell onto the ground. The Ratata was long gone. There was a growi in the air. Ash of course was not scared. He was going to be a pokemon master after all. And Pokemon masters never got scared because all Pokemon are loving and caring creatures. He crawled on all fours into a clearing and saw a mangled Ursaring corpose lying on the ground. It's head was completely missing with a bloody hole on the top of what remained of its chest. Large bloody scratches bisected the bear all over with bone showing everywhere as the assailant devoured chunks of delicious Pokemon. Ash carefully tried to walk away when he suddenly stepped on one of Ursaring's eyes and slipped. As his head hit the ground all ash could see was stars and before he knew what happend a large weight suddenly landed on Ash's chest, took a great big bite out of Ash's chest and was gone. The last thing he saw before fainting from blood loss was the full moon.

Serena couldn't sleep that night. She could still hear the argument Delia had with Grace when the former returned to find her child missing. Despite Ash always calling her names and stealing her books, she for some strange reason had developed a crush on him. Maybe it was the way he always made her feel smart by failing so hard at school a F would be too generous a grade, or it could be how he looked. Grace should really keep a better handle on her stash of the Rhyders of Rhyhorn Calenders if she didn't want Serena to be corrupted by the images. Serena decided she was going to go look for ash himself. She bought along her lucky handkerchief for luck. With that in hand she apparoached the sign to route 1. Knowing Ash, Serena pressed on. From up high a flock of spearow was circling overhead, getting ready to strike and devour their dinner from the hapless girl with no protection. As the spearow prepared to penetrate Serena with their beaks, a Ghastly howl broke through the air. Serena suddenly had an image of Ash and ran into the trees.

As Serena climbed into the clearing she suddenly felt her blood turn into ice. There was her Ash, down on all fours surrounded by a ring of dead Pokemon snarling like a beast while tearing into the flesh of a Pikachu that may or may not still be alive. While if it was any other thing in the clearing, Serena would have screamed and ran but then she saw Ash's shirt had fallen off from his transformation and aside from some extra fur, looked very much like an 8 year old version of the people from Grace's magazines. Overwhelmed, she ran and hugged Ash as hard as she could, reveling in the feel. Then Ash got his senses back.

THE NEXT MORNING.

Ash woke up and saw the bloodied corpse of Serena on the ground. Suddenly all the events of last night came flooding back. He remembered everything and realized just the full extent of what he did. Ash he cried and begged for forgiveness for what he did Arceus just happened to be floating by. He then dropped a lightning bolt from the sky and then used his powers to resurrect Ash and Serena with their memories wiped. He also took the liberty of killing the infected houndoom who bit Ash. Only problem was Serena didn't land on her feet and endded up scraping her arm, dropping her handkerchief in the process. Ash helped treat her wound, and hand in hand they walked home. As they returned, they saw Grace being arrested for riding a rhyhorn around town. She would eventually break out and move to the region of Kalos where racing was legal. But that's for another time.

Moral of the story.

It's pokemon, all endings are happy.

It's Pokemon
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

That story is actually kind of awesome... in a sarcastic way. Now, if Pokemon actually used this story, I wouldn't be sure to laugh or just be simply stunned. =_=
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

Okay so when are we getting the poll to decide the shipping name? Because this is just ridiculous.
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

Random question, but how do people even come up with official shipping names? On topic, Ash x Serena is awesome. :D
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

We have names for other pairings from the games, why no name for this yet?
Oh we'll, up coming subplot involves her searching for Ash, wonder if shey'll have day dreams about himXD
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

It seriously needs to be Reunionshipping, since no we can't have anything else based off their childhood or interactions to be their shipping names.
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

I know I was talking about voting for AmourShipping earlier, but I decided to go for RougeurShipping, as I didn't see that as an option until now.

Well, one of the simplest ways and quickest is accessible on this very section! You can submit names on this thread, but do check the site to see if it has been taken first. There are other ways, but that one is the easiest.
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

Thanks for the information!
And I agree, AmourShopping suits them the best in my opinion; since the Kalos region is based on France and all.
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

If only people realized how they're disgracing Ash and Serena by picking amourshipping instead of Reunionshipping as the name.
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

Without even reading ideas from other people, AmourShipping was the first thing to come to mind so I voted for that.
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

Hopefully this ship isn't just some red-herring that gets abandoned midway through the saga for something else.

I don't know what they're going to do when the gen ends and Serena is axed, the ship would just be abandoned like pokeshipping was and then be forgotten. The only way this can be avoided is if they pull a Contestshipping scenario where Ash and Serena are written off in the same generation.

They could possibly keep Serena as Ash's girlfriend even after Gen6 ends and have him occasionally call her from time to time after she's left the group.

Or they could have her travel to Gen7 with him.
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

Aaaa, this pairing is too cute!! I'm really interested in seeing where this goes and I really wanna see more scenes with Serena and Ash. I haven't shipped anything in the anime beyond "Oh, that's kinda cute I guess" but I think I could really get into this!
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

I think I've found my new favorite pairing, did any one see the scenes they had together? Gah!
Hurry up Thursday already!
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

Today's episode's scenes were so amazing between those two. Each conversation, even during the battle when it was her voice that got him back into the battle (reminded of my favorite pokeshipping scene), the "to be continued..."

Like ashfangirl22, this may be my new favorite shipping! Is it just me or is the anime getting much more mature and similar to Pokemon Origins in storytelling... :) I really want these two to be canon.
 
Re: The Ash x Serena Thread

We're still early in the series, the ship could have some roadblocks ahead. Mostly if Serena gets a male rival at some point...although she has no concrete goal at this point.

It is rather obvious Serena likes him though. It actually makes you realize that Pearlshipping had people confusing Dawn's sibling like moments with Ash as shipping.....you can tell the real difference between Dawn and Serena and their attitudes toward Ash. I notice a lot of Pearlshippers have moved onto this ship because of it.

I'm not a full fan of this ship yet, but I'm here because I'm intrigued on where it goes.

You are right about that. But I feel that even though Serena obviously likes him, the key point is whether Ash likes her back, otherwise she would just end up joining the ranks of Misty, Melody, Annabel and other girls who had shown an interest in him. The thing is that unless Ash shows any definite response towards her it would just remain a one-sided canon ship like many others. I really want Ash to show some liking towards her though, because this ship seems to be becoming my second-favorite quite rapidly.
