"Oh," Ash says after a moment. "I don't think I've introduced you two."
Goh looked between the two people in front of him—Ash now moving his hand to point at the woman.
"This is Serena—we used to travel together!" He adds, giving a wide smile as he drops his hand. Serena gives her own soft smile as she shuts her eyes in a happy expression.
Goh nods at her, now feeling the urge to run away and never come back. "I'm Goh."
Serena nods back, opening her eyes as she places her hands behind her. Ash looses his eye-to-eye smile to turn to Serena.
Her Sylveon, Goh notes was hiding behind her legs, moves over to Ash and wraps its ribbons around his legs, letting out soft purrs. Serena makes an embarrassed noise at this, heat rushing up to her cheeks.
"Sorry," She says after a moment, moving her hands to remove the ribbons around the boys legs. "Guess she misses you!"
Ash laughs at that, saying it was 'No worry,' as the Slyveon continues with its motion of rubbing its face against his upper thigh. Serena moves to place her hands on Ash's shoulder after successfully removing the ribbons around the boys legs, moving more into his space to start a new conversation. Ash engages with the conversation, oblivious to the sudden loss of space between the two.
Goh swears he could hear his eye twitch in disbelief.
Although he can barley hear their conversation with how his thoughts are running wild with how close the woman made herself be, Goh steps up with his Canderace making a confused noise at the sudden boldness.
"We should get going." Goh voices with a strained smile, making Serena look at him and back away from Ash in slow steps.
Ash makes a face at this, raising an eyebrow. "Going where?" He questions, raising a hand to scratch at the back of his head in confusion. He doesn't remember making any plans for the night, considering that the sun was setting behind them. His original plan was to just get some sleep with his Pikachu and Goh—not in the same bed, of course.
"If you guys are busy, I won't stop you." Serena adds after a moment of silence, putting one of her hands on her hip. Her Sylveon lets out a small 'Syl!' before going back behind Serena. She gives the pokemon a soft look before looking back at the two men.
Ash, still being confused, gets interrupted mid thought by Goh's hand pulling on his forearm, making him be pulled into the man's direction.
"Yup yup, we gotta get going—" Goh emphasizes, pulling Ash along, who is still confused as he's being tugged. Pikachu makes a soft, confused 'Pi?' as it stays on top of Ash's hat, going along with the tugging due to gravity. The pokemon looks between the other man and his pokemon, which just earns the yellow creature a shrug from the tall rabbit.
With his brain finally catching up with his eyes, it clicks in Ash's head on why Goh wants them gone so bad. He lets out a oh sound as Goh turns around fully, continuing to drag Ash.
Serena lets out a small laugh, also having noticed Goh's sudden burst of jealousy. Feeling the need to feed the fire for pure entertainment—and to bully Ash a little bit—she decides to grab Ash's arm that Goh was currently not pulling on, and made herself lean in to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"You have my number," she mentions after the light peck. "Call me anytime."
She lets go of the boys arm, now choosing to wave and walk in the opposite direction, opting to ignore the horrified look on Goh.
"Have a safe night, boys!" She yells as shes more further away, her Slyveon tracking behind her, letting out quiet laughs amongst themself.
Ash waves back, smiling wide as a small blush spread across his cheeks. Although he wasn't the brightest when it came to affection, he definitely noticed the bruising hold Goh now had on him as he continued his tug along the road.
