They are both sensitive and considerate - Ash and Serena can be mindful of each other, as well as those around them. One example is in XY022, when Ash notices that Serena looks confused and asks her what's wrong, which leads to Serena saying that she's never fished before. Ash then teaches Serena how to fish. Another example is in XY090, when Serena looks down and clenches her fist during the tag battle, which Ash notices and says Serena's name in worry. In XY103, Serena tucks Bonnie to bed after Bonnie got worried about losing Squishy. This leads to Serena understanding why Bonnie got upset, and showing empathy towards Bonnie's fears of losing Squishy. In XY109, Serena notices that her Sylveon is upset, understanding it's frustration due to Serena's previous mistakes in her performances, and comforts it by saying to enjoy its dance and have fun on stage. In XY118, Serena gives Ash a water bottle after Ash trained with his Greninja, with Serena being considerate of how exhausted Ash got from the training. There's also XY138, where Ash can sense Serena's uneasiness, and offers to battle her to help clear her head, then gives her advice to cheer her up. Overall, both Ash and Serena are pure hearted individuals with honest motivations. They stay honest with each other and their friends, they hear each other out, they feel strongly about their emotions, and their empathy for those around them is powerful.
