It's one-sided amour, Serena's crush is an explicit part of her character throughout this and it's an important part of her motivation. Ash, however, is dealing with repressed emotional issues, and romance just isn't possible for him right now. You can consider it canon they get together later on, but for now, it's just a lot of moments you'll enjoy ^-^
