Serena is a Pokémon trainer and Ash's long-lost childhood friend. She remembers Ash from their childhood when the two of them attended the Oak summer camp in Pallet Town. During this time, Serena had fallen and injured her leg; Ash then helped her with her injury, causing Serena to fall in love with him. After seeing Ash on TV, and still having feelings for him, she decided to leave home to reacquaint herself with Ash, and upon doing so, comes along with him on his journey despite having no specified goal (this being the first time ever since Ash himself asked a female friend to join him on his journey). But after experiencing numerous events like the Sycamore summer camp, she learns about Pokémon Showcases from Shauna and decides to become a Pokémon Performer.

Personality[]
Serena is a very nice, kind, flirty, gentle and polite girl, although she was rebellious and disobeyed her mother at the start of her journey. In addition to her kindness, she is very helpful, always concerned about what her friends are doing, especially Ash, and tries her best to keep their spirits up. She also has a passion for fashion and clothes, always searching for the prettiest and most stylish outfits to wear. As a result, she hates getting dirty and being soaked in mud. Much like May, Serena also adores trying out the various popular food spots in cities and towns, especially desserts. However, unlike May, Serena is very modest and demure--at one point in the anime, she almost got injured when she chose to hold her skirt down while falling rather than making a safe landing. She also gets incredibly flustered and embarrassed very easily, especially when someone teases her about her not‐so‐secret crush on Ash. She also easily gets jealous if someone, like Miette, attempts to take Ash away from her.
