The group stayed at the Pokecenter for the night, but they all couldn't sleep for some reason. Maybe it was from the tension for tomorrow? For Ash's final battle in the league? It could be that..right?

Bonnie and Clemont decided to have some sibling bonding time while the other two did something else separately. Ash was just eating food while Serena felt stargazing that night.

So she did and looked up at the beautiful and calming night sky, she felt relaxed and tired all of a sudden. Was it because of the relaxing atmosphere? Was it because if the night sky? Who knows, she just felt somewhat tired.

Her eyes slowly closed and the next minute she fell asleep under the clear sky.

Meanwhile with Ash

He couldn't put his finger into it, but he felt a sudden urge to go outside and stargaze. He couldn't shook the feeling off, so he walked outside to see Serena leaning on the wall of the center sleeping peacefully and quite relaxed.

A smile curved on his lips from the adorable sight, he knew that she have been practicing non stop for the master class even though she lost she didn't give up and continued to practice for the next showcase.

She sat beside her to keep her warm, and honestly it was just an excuse for him to get closer to Serena literally.

He pokes her cheek causing the sleeping performing to cutely mumble in her sleep. Ash chuckles and continues to poke her cheek until she mumbled something that Ash would never thought would hear till' the day he would die.

"I love you Ash..."

Ash felt happy in the same time confuse. Not because he was confuse if he likes her or not, he loves her as much as she loves him as a matter of fact but was just to scared for rejection. He was confuse if what she said was true.

But nonetheless he still wanted to stay there with her. She was warm despite having no sleeve to keep her warm, she was like a fire type. Warm no matter what the situation is. Burning immensely during the night and warm and determined to light up the ones who are down in the day.

He carefully wraps his arm around her waist to not wake her up, but little did he know that Serena wasn't fully asleep yet and was frantically screaming in joy in her mind.

He closes his eyes and instantly went to sleep, after a couple of minutes Serena opens her eyes to look at the sleeping trainer.

Did he feel the same way for her? It could be possible after all he practically did hug her to keep her warm.

Or was she just hoping for the best?

She didn't care what he felt tonight, she was just happy that he was there beside her. She was happy that he decided to come out and be there with her even though she was half asleep only to wake up from the sudden arm wrapping around her waist.

She looked up at the stars and smiled whispering "We Are Stars My Dear Ashy" she decided to risk it and pecks him on the cheek. A big blush formed on her cheeks as she pulled back and look back at the night sky.

It felt perfect

Just the two of them

Under the night sky.
