Serena (anime): Difference between revisions

==In the anime==

Sometime later, Serena was sent to [[Kanto]] against her will to attend a [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], which was hosted by {{an|Professor Oak}}. One day while at the camp, she got lost in a nearby forest and was startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}, falling over and hurting her knee. She then met [[Ash Ketchum]], who was looking for the same Poliwag, and spotted Serena. Noticing her knee injury, he pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped it around her wounded knee, saying that it was a good-luck charm and that the pain would go away. However, when Serena's knee continued to hurt, Ash told her "Don't give up till it's over" and helped her up, before escorting her out of the forest. Afterward, she returned to Kalos, bringing along the handkerchief and the memory of her meeting with Ash.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====

Later that evening, Serena complained about her earlier practice leaving several scratches on her face. She sat down to watch a news report on an incident that was occurring in [[Lumiose City]]. On the screen, she saw Ash trying to calm down a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} at Prism Tower and recognized Ash as a boy she had known in her childhood. The next day, while feeding Rhyhorn, Serena thought aloud that something interesting was going to happen and that it involved Ash.

In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Serena chose {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, received a [[Pokédex]], and started her journey. Later that day, she continued to travel with Fennekin but didn't want to camp out for the night after seeing some wild {{p|Venipede}}. She was attacked by a wild {{p|Vespiquen}} that she mistook for a person, only for Fennekin to scare Vespiquen away. Afterward, Serena met a [[Nurse Joy]], who told her where to find the nearest Pokémon Center.

In the time since she started traveling alone, Serena became a rising star in [[Hoenn]] and garnered a lot of local attention in [[Lilycove City]]. She also became friends and rivals with Hoenn's top contest idol, [[Lisia]], and helped her to liven up the local Contests.

In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Serena appeared alongside {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and Lisia, watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}}. Soon after, when Pikachu was at the limit of his strength, Serena, May, and Max were shown to be anxious about the state of the battle, each holding on to another for comfort.

Serena seems to have a sisterly bond with {{an|Bonnie}}, as she is shown caring for her similar to the way Clemont does, such as protecting her in dangerous situations, comforting her, and cheering her up when she is sad. She also allows her to help her with various tasks, such as baking and grooming. Serena also gets along pretty well with Clemont, and they are normally seen taking care of the table together during meal times, with Clemont making the main dishes while Serena provides dessert. However, when it comes to his inventions, Serena has shown both a bit of marvel as well as caution, due to the usual result being an explosion. Serena quickly became very good friends with [[Chloe]] after meeting her, and appears to empathize with her after hearing her uncertainness about what goal to pursue in life.

Serena has a love for fashion and [[clothing]]. An early example of this is in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', when she spent time carefully selecting an outfit and was troubled over which of two hats looked best. Serena then asked her mother, who selected a beret. However, she promptly tossed the beret aside and picked up the other hat, saying that whatever her mother did not choose was certain to be the cuter one. She has also expressed excitement about visiting the clothing boutiques in [[Lumiose City]]. In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', she was eager to dress up in many different outfits while making her [[Pokévision]] video. Despite her love for fashion and performances, she rarely displays vanity or over confidence. She usually acts somewhat subdued and humble in both of these areas, though she is not above commenting that she thinks something she has done is "cute," usually when dressing up her Pokémon for a Showcase.

Serena's Pokémon consists of cute and are naturally inclined to Pokémon Performances, such as her {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} and {{TP|Serena|Sylveon}}, who are both great dancers. Also, Serena and her Pokémon are shown to have a tight-knit bond with each other, as she cares for them greatly and likewise. Like {{an|Iris}}, Serena does not have a full party by the end of the series unlike the {{an|Misty|previous}} {{an|May|female}} {{an|Dawn|companions}}. Although she manages to gain her Pokémon's obedience, it took time for Serena to fully utilize {{p|Eevee}} to her potential due to her shyness around others. After the events of ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Serena is able to manage her team effectively.
