>Serena VS Milliefui at the poffle contest>Serena doing her pokevision>The Rhyhorn race>Premiers episode>Cyllage gym battle>Serena wanting to stop Korrina VS Blaziken>Mirror worldand all of the summer camp episodes were Serena's development in the first 44 episodes of XY.
If Lillies "development" was all about her family and touching Pokemon, Serena's was about trying new things and about Ash.
Serena's focus and developmental episodes were all much more interesting then Lillies. Lillies whole episode where she learned to touch Pikachu was so boring, uninteresting, and predictable - like all of her episodes - did nothing to help her character grow.
