![]() Pokémon is nothing if not consistent, even at the expense of Ash's character. If she were to appear, the subject of that kiss would need to be addressed. Pokémon Journeys is all about wish fulfillment, and what greater wish-fulfillment could there be than bringing back the girl who gave Ash his first kiss? Unfortunately, that famous kiss is precisely why Serena will likely never return to the series. That the series would opt to bring Dawn back a second time before bringing Serena back once doesn't bode well for the chances of it ever happening. At the time of writing, Dawn has just made her grand re-return to the series, having already come back once before during Ash's Unova campaign. Many classic characters, like Gary Oak, have already had cameos, so it makes sense that fans are clamoring for Serena's - long overdue - return. Pokémon Journeys is basically the franchise's victory lap. Considering how popular Serena is, and how popular her relationship with Ash is, it seems like it would be a no-brainer for the show to bring her back. Serena truly respects and admires Ash for who he is, and the two have a strong bond. Their friendship has never featured any of the childish antagonism that his friendship with Misty is famous for. Interestingly, Serena is the only one of all the girls Ash has ever traveled with that he personally invited along. ![]() RELATED: Pokémon Still Hasn't Explained One of Its Biggest Mysteries ![]() This leaves Serena as Ash's only traveling companion who has reappeared at all since her journey with Ash ended. Max, Cilan, Clemont and Bonnie have never rejoined Ash, but they've appeared as cameos or in special episodes set after they've parted ways with him. May returned in Sinnoh and Pokémon Journeys has seen the return of Iris, Dawn and the entire Alola gang. Misty and Brock have made several reappearances, and even Tracey pops up now and again. Pokémon takes advantage of its longevity by occasionally bringing back Ash's former traveling companions to temporarily join him on his current journey. However, Pokémon fans learned the hard way that they should be careful what they wish for - this moment is directly responsible for Serena's continued absence from the series. Amourshippers, fans who suspected and hoped for a romantic relationship between Ash and Serena, were indisputably vindicated by the surprisingly heartfelt moment. Pokémon fans around the world rejoiced after Serena gave Ash his first kiss when she said goodbye at the end of the anime's Kalos adventures. ![]()
