Decided to draw Calem and Serena as adults for writing reasons, with a bonus of Calem in isolation to show off the uncontrollable mess he hides under that hat.

It’s a big day for kalos fans, let me ship post as a treat.

I love that pokemon masters keeps hinting and showing a glimpse past calems stoics, showing that he seems to have a thing for serena, which I cannot blame him- she is the human equivalent of a chantilly cake; a soft fluffy balance between sweet and fresh, elegant and sugary. She’s good at what she does and he respects her a lot for it even if he’s prone to self sabotage trying to get on her level (parental issues being raised by tournament veterans)

And it’s not just these moments, this dynamic is deeply embedded into their rivalry and shows in every iteration of their existence. The manga, the games, masters, and maybe even the legends Z game counterparts we will see next year-

in the manga Y (Serena’s counterpart) is the only member of their friend group who didn’t give up on X (Calem’s counterpart) when he shut himself away in a depressive episode, she tried to talk to him everyday, brought him food, and even in her frustration never gave up on him; and ultimately it’s her stubborn support that brings him back out of his shell in the end. In the games they’re bond is so dorky and precious- they tease each other, they bicker, they banter, they’re rivals through and through, but ultimately it boils down to one truth; they are both recklessly protective over one another in the face of team flare, and rivalry turns to teamwork, and they couldn’t have done it without each other.

There’s such a heavy emphasis on the mutual respect they hold, both wanting to better themselves for each other even though the other thinks of them so highly. Calem would utterly worship her if he weren’t so spooked by his own vulnerability, they both have struggles, but they both have a patient understanding of balance to work.

They balance each other. Cheerfully angelic and stoic aloofness, yet they understand each other wordlessly, work with muscle memory coordination, feel each other’s feelings. Much like life and death, happiness is found in balance.

If only they weren’t so oblivious to the way they treat each other like a romance novel.

Serena is the more mature character development on XY e Snowbelle arc I can prove it

I'm putting myself at high risk now but I'm tired of people just taking the phrase alone

EVERYONE WANTED ASH TO COME BACK FROM HIS PLACE, NOT JUST SERENA, EVERYONE WAS WORRIED ABOUT HIM AND SERENA WAS THE ONE WHO TOOK THE MOST INITIATIVE IN TRYING TO HELP

He threw her losses and her emotions in the trash, that's why she exploded. She always holds her head high after a loss and is even more emotionally mature than Ash himself here.

She was on a path of indecision, loss of maturity and confrontation and even at the RISK of not finishing her presentation she gave it her all without measuring the consequences of this. SHE DIDN'T GIVE UP EVEN IN THE WORST OF CONSEQUENCES

She taught her Pokemon that winning isn't everything and having fun is the main thing and that you should always be happy with the performance you at least achieved.

She accepted, raised her head and went all out with each new decline she got up and placed herself on top.

Yes let's talk about "this isn't the Ash I know" so much ok she needed to know about Ash's more vulnerable side

BUT DID HE HAVE TO SAY THAT????

He is bad for three losses, ok, it is understandable up to there, mother mistreating her journey of knowledge WILL NEVER BE

SHE is the one to be forgiven, she is the one to blame herself for what she said, she is the one the show puts as the fault I hate this deeply and people DON'T GET THIS

She took his phrase until the last minute and I will say that this phrase should have been her catchphrase and not said by Ash. (Honestly, I even like the fact that this is a part of their relationship, but part of me wanted it to be just hers)

AU Time \ Serena + Carmine

Broken Promises and Hearts, the AU where everything goes wrong.

After killing Lysandre in battle, Serena turns to Kitakami where a new disaster and evil team has struck, and she meets a new friend.

Can she save another continent?

Clemont: okay, but we’re having salad for dinner

Serena: but Ash said we were having burgers

Clemont: if Ash jumped off a cliff, would you?

Serena: [stares into the abyss]

Clemont: Serena!

Serena: um I mean, it depends

Clemont: don’t jump off a cliff!

Serena: well, I wasn’t planning on it

Clemont: but if Ash jumped you would?

Serena: [stares into the abyss]

Clemont: Serena!

Happy Announcement** Birthday XY!

Satoshi: I'm so glad you got along with my boyfriend!

Serena: Yeah, it was a pleasure to meet Gou. I'm so happy now you two are together!

Satoshi: But I have to ask, what's the baseball bat for?

Serena: I thought this was gonna go differently. Damn Gou and his charm.

I love Calem and Serena because they both have the color palettes of the Kalos Legendaries. But they’re depicted with polar opposite personalities.
