Okay, so I dissected the kiss and thought it more oriented toward the future with regard to Serena's overall demeanor. I might have cleared certain lines in my calendar until November 8 and refilled them with new potential reviews of Serena, Kalos, and this upcoming region, and I can promise that you really don't want to know why. I've found Amourshipping a competitor with Advanceshipping in potential for tragedy, in the sense of considerable opposition or even influence by the main villain, Lysandre in this case. Serena doesn't know what other kinds of trouble she and Ash will likely encounter in the future, so her kiss was her fullest attempt yet at making Ash aware of her affection, quite the contrast with Pearlshipping's flow in my overarching scenario thus far. Anyway, how are you?
