People are shipping this already? Anime fans... oh well, can I join? Usually in every new generation of the Pokemon anime, I end up shipping Ash with the new female protagonist. So, I'm liking this. Plus Serena looks adorable x3
I wonder how their interactions will play out when the show airs. Also, just to comment on this, if Clemont and Bonnie are gonna be the other traveling companions, I kinda like the idea of a bunch of young kids traveling around, without a older-brother like figure, such as Brock or Cilan. It just seems interesting. Oh my gosh, then who's gonna cook for them? I want to say Bonnie but that'll sound weird. xP
To answer how Ash and Serena would meet, there was that speculation the Ash knew her before, but since X and Y are adding new modes of transportation I was think something along the lines of Pikachu burning the bike. He could burn her roller skates... or even her Gogoat!
