Description (from twitter post):

30周年おめでとうございます！

たくさんの思い出とワクワクをありがとう！ 30年分の感謝と、これから先への大きな期待を込めて🌙* :ﾟ

Happy 30th anniversary!

I'm starting to get mad at the comfortable way some haters tend to act with Amourshipping

Just annoying having to put up with certain people acting as if WE HAVE TO JUST SIT AND ACCEPT what our ship is called

Toxic

Slander

Stalker

Yandere

Worst ship in the franchise

""""Reconnected"""" the plot with Ash and Serena's actions towards each other (things that were literally ACCEPTED, discussed and APPROVED by the OML for Ash's childhood)

HONESTLY, flip that on your ship for a moment YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE YOUR FAVORITE CALLED THAT FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Respect generates RESPECT if you are not respecting HOW TO COMPLAIN that people are aggressive? You are giving a HORRIBLE response to anyone who likes a character and wants to act like the angel of situation? OH FUCK YOU

"And you guys?" Ash asked as he looked at Lillie, Dawn and Serena.

"I am staying!" Dawn, Lillie and Serena said together, clearly and loudly, enough to make even Ash take a step back.

"I-I am grateful guys," Ash said as he lowers his head to hide his eyes tearing up. Delia immediately goes to Ash and Hugs him.

"We are all here for Ash," Delia said as she kissed Ash's Forehead.

"Anyways, it getting late, everyone fresh up, I need to schedule who will sleep where," Delia said as Ash wiped off his tears.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After some planning, it was decided that all the Guys + Pikachu were sleeping in Ash's room and all the Girls were sleeping in Delia's room.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Delia's room, Delia and the girls were talking to each other.

"I am extremely grateful to you all for being with Ash," Delia said as she wiped off her tears.

"Mam please, Ash was always there for us, why shouldn't we be there for him?" Misty asked with a smile.

"Yeah! He also helped us realized our dream, without him, Arceus knows where we would have been," Mallow said as Lana nodded.

"He is like second a second big brother!" Bonnie, who was sitting on Serena's lap, said.

"Yeah..................... without him, I don't know where I would have been," Serena said, thinking about Ash.

"Without him, I probably never would have been able to touch pokemons," Lillie said, equally lost in thoughts about Ash.

"I knew what I had to do, but Ash showed me new ways of doing it," Dawn said, as lost as Serena and Lillie.

"*Cough Cough*" Misty said, bring the three back into reality.

"W-What?" Dawn asked as the three girls were blushing.

"Never did I ever thought Ash would be able to pull girls," Misty said with teasing eyes.

"W-What!" Serena said, blushing hard.

"I-I don't know what are you taking about," Lillie said as she turned her head, hiding her blushing.

"Lillie, just stop, we all know your crush on Ash," Lana said as Mallow nodded, turning Lillie absolute bright red.

"And Dawn, Brock told me about you and yeah, the way you behaved towards Ash, it is clear you like him," Misty said with a teasing voice, turning Dawn red.

"That traitor," Dawn said to herself.

"And Serena," Bonnie said.

"Bonnie please don't," Serena said, blushing red hot.

"Well let's just say I can tell lots of things but I digress and will just confirmed this, Serena likes Ash a lot!" Bonnie said as she jumped from Serena's lap and went to Delia's.

"Bonnie!" Serena said in an embarrassed tone.

"So that is why there is so much tension in these three's triangle," Misty said in a teasing voice.

"Ahh! I leaving!" Dawn said as she left.

"Same here!" Lillie said as she also left.

"Count me in!" Serena said as she also left.

"My Arceus, despite the tension, they are very much united," Misty said.

"Mam, you are really quiet in this matter," Bonnie asked.

"I don't know what to say, but I can clearly see in their eyes that they like him.................. And I will happy to have anyone of the them as my Daughter-In-Law," Delia said with a smile.

"Well for you to have a Daughter-In-Law, Ash need to break that denseness of his," Bonnie said in a matter-of-fact voice.

"I do wonder who will he choose, I hope its Serena since I love their couple," Bonnie said in a exciting voice.

"Well, he may no-" Misty said before getting interrupted by Delia.

"Bonnie, I think it is time to sleep," Delia said.

"But I want to talk!" Bonnie protested.

"Your brother said to put you to bed by 11, and it is pass 11," Delia said as she put Bonnie to bed and wrap her by a Blanket.

"Good night dear," Delia said.

"Good night Bonnie," Misty, Lana and Mallow said.

"Good night, everyone," Bonnie said as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Misty," Delia said as she looked at the former with disapproving eyes.

"What? She will have to learn that Polygamy is legal one day," Misty said in a joking voice.

"Not on Akala Island, if you tried Polygamy there, you will lose your residence there," Mallow said.

"It is fine on Ula'ula and Poni Islands though," Lana added.

"What about Melemele?" Misty asked curiously.

"They don't have codified Law for marriage so it differs from city to city and town to town," Mallow answered.

"Seems confusing to me," Misty said.

"Hey, these agreements stopped a war," Lana said.

"I mean, Polygamy is on the downtrend worldwide anyways, so it doesn't matter," Mallow said.

"I was just saying Kantonian law still has Polygamy legal so Ash could in theory marry all of them," Misty said.

"First let his denseness break," Bonnie, still eyes closed, said.

"BONNIE!!!!" Delia shouted as she facepalmed.

Lillie was standing against the railed Veranda of Ketchum's residence when she was joined by Dawn and Serena.

"Hey," Dawn said.

"Hello," Serena greeted

"Oh, hello, what can I do for you two?" Lillie asked.

"One question, do you like like Ash or just admire him, please be honest," Dawn asked.

"First you two tell," Lillie countered.

"*Sighs* So, at the beginning, I merely admired him. He seemed like a cool person and I thought befriending him will be mutually beneficial. He can help with his experience and I could help him navigate Sinnoh. Then there were two events, one was with Kenny and the other was with Paul, this was before he stopped being an Ass........................... I will not go in detail but those events, made me realized..................... that maybe what I feel for Ash more than just mere friendship and admiration.............................. After our journey was over, I visited my Mom and talked to her........................ see made me realized that........................... this was love," Dawn with a smile.

"For me, it is bit different, so I met Ash for the first time in summer camp, we became good friends there but gradually became distanced. But when Ash came to Kalos and I saw him on the TV, trying to save Prof Sycamore's Garchomp, I remember that old friend. I had always admired Ash for his bravery, but our journey together..................................... Made me appreciate every small thing about him, his kindness, his love for his pokemons and comrades, everything and................................. before I knew it, I had fallen for him," Serena said, of course leaving out 'The Airport incident.'

"*Sighs* Truth be told, my experience with Ash is similar to you Dawn. I met him in the Pokemon School and there was connection, with him trying his best to help deal with my phobia. He also helped unite our disunited family.................................... And........................ he saved Mom........................ for which I am forever indebt of him................................. soon, during the League, when Ash was battling brother, I realized I wanted Ash to win, not brother......................... At that time I realized I like him. I probably would have confessed before leaving if Gladion would have interrupted me," Lillie said.

"*Sigh* Well, its seems that all three of us truly love him, and we are not mistaken admiration with love," Dawn said as the other two nodded.

"Guys..................... I love Ash and truly want to be with him................... But I don't want to enforce myself on him............... he should be free to choose whoever he wants," Serena said.

"I agree with you.................................... *Sighs* Guys, let's do this, our priority should be to break his denseness.................. after that, it is his choice to choose who he wants to be with," Dawn said.

"So you are saying we work together to break his denseness, with the fact that only one of us could be with him?" Lillie asked.

"Yeah," Dawn said, half expecting Lillie and Serena to reject it.

"I can work with it," Lillie said.

"Same here," Serena said.

"I am happy to see Ash's happiness is our first priority," Dawn said.

"Always," Lillie said.

"This will not be an easy task, I mean I kissed him one time he is still as dense as always," Serena said absent mindedly before realizing what she said and immediately covered mouth.

"You did what?" Dawn and Lillie asked.

"It was an on the moment thing?" Serena tries to justify her actions.

"Ok she is out," Dawn said as Lillie nodded.

"Oh come on!" Serena said.

The Bois were talking, most about Pokemon battles, emotions and Parents.

"Hey, guys.................... I will say this again, I am grateful for you to stand with in this time of need," Ash said.

"Ashy boy I will literally punch if you said grateful again," Gary said with a laugh.

"Umm Ash, I noticed there aren't any pictures of your father, why is that?" Clemont asked, to which Ash just shrug.

"I never saw him, he died before my birth," Ash said in a matter-of-fact voice.

"Oh...................... I am sorry," Clemont said as he lowers his head.

"Oh no! It is not an issue, I never really missed........................... Mom was always there for me.............................. She is both my mother and father," Ash said with a smile. Suddenly he noticed Brock was very quiet and his eyes were a little teary.

"Brock, are you ok?" Ash asked.

"Huh? O-Oh yeah............... I-I am fine," Brock said.

"Brock, what happened?" Ash asked.

"I-It is just.............................. You only have your mother, but she........................ she is there for you every moment! She stood with you, she stands with you, and she will continue to stand with you........................... and I? I have both of my parents and they............. They are literally the worst parents in the history of parents! They don't give a shit about their children! They only care when it is profitable to them!" Brock said as he wiped off his tears.

"Brock-" Ash said before being interrupted by Brock.

"No Ash, I am not sad........................... I have accepted that those scumbags are useless and we can't change it, Anyways! Good night everyone," Brock said with a smile as he switch off the lights.
