As hints and evidence for ships are mostly speculation, this page may contain personal points of view.

AmourShipping(Japanese: サトセレ SatoSere) is the belief that Ash and Serena belong in a romantic relationship. The name AmourShipping comes from the word amour which is French for "love". The name was chosen because the XY series, like the XY games, are set in the Kalos region which is based off of France. The pairing is becoming popular because Serena and Ash met inPallet Town when they were young children at a summer camp prior to the beginning of the series, and Serena apparently has a crush on him. This makes some of the fandom believe that AmourShipping will become canon.

Anime evidence

Serena's hints

When Serena saw Ash on TV jumping of the Prism Tower, she acts in a some what scared/worried way, although this is shown, she could be just worrying for a person in danger, for the TV camera never shows Ash's face until he is safely on the ground. After rescuing his Pikachu in the Lumiose Tower from a rampaging Garchomp, Serena noticed that this could be the same boy that she saw when she was a child, she was shown looking at the TV while saying "that boy, no it couldn't be". At the end of the episode, she tells her Rhyhorn that something exciting is going to happen that could involve Ash, the scene is then followed up with her having a flashback of Ash as a young boy.
Upon arriving at Professor Sycamore's laboratory, and before choosing her starter Pokémon, Serena tells him that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes light up when Sycamore identifies him as 'Ash'.
When Serena was walking down the steps in the city, she thought that she can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees her, this is then followed with her having a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm as if he was offering a hand, this flashback causes her to blush a little.
When she saw Ash battling, she is really happy to finally see him while he is battling Viola, that she was about to go talk to him not realising she was going to interrupt the battle, Alex then invites her to come watch from the side lines, witch she happily agrees to.
While Ash was battling, she seems really impressed while watching him, Ash then said something that triggered a memory for Serena, she yet again has another flashback of a young Ash saying the similar comment that Ash said in the battle.
Serena was sad when Ash lost the battle, she attempted to speak to him, only to have him run past he without noticing her, most likely concentrating on his injured Pokemon.
After Serena returns Ash's backpack, she asks a question to him while blushing a little, but was interrupted by the chime of the Pokemon Center bell.
When Ash was on the ground from the intense training, Serena walks up to Ash and hands him a towel to clean up. The episode then end with her asking him if he remembers her.
In this episode, after she asks Ash if he remembers her, she mentioned that they met in Summer Camp in Pallet Town. Also, through the entire Gym battle she was cheering for Ash to win way more than Clemont and Bonnie did. She is shown shouting out encouraging words, this seemed to cause Ash to come up with an idea, this shows that Serena's encouragement helps Ash when his in tight situations.
When the group was having dinner, Serena is shown glancing at Ash while he was eating.

Ash's hints

When Ash meets Serena, he happily thanks Serena for returning his backpack to him, and apologises for not seeing her while he was battling.
Ash thanks her when Serena gives a towel after the previous training with Alexa..
When Serena asked Ash if he remembers her, he has a puzzled look, he then apologises to her that he didn't remember her being at the Summer Camp.
When Ash wins the Gym Battle, he thanks all of his friends for helping in defeating Viola, including Serena, even though she hasn't even directly took part in the training.
At the end of the episode, Ash asked Serena what she is going to do now, this show's that he is interested in what Serena's goals are.
