Me: Yo! I thought I'd make my first fanfic a Hoennshipping/Franticshipping or whatever its Brendan and May.
Satoshi/Ash: Remind me again why I'm not in this story?
Me: Well as I said I wanted to do Brendan and May, since I just happen to finally obtain all frontier symbols in the emerald version. It kindda went in my mind as I was fighting Anabel.
Satoshi/Ash: Sigh, I never get to do anything fun...
Me: Well you could do the disclaimer
Satoshi/Ash: Alright! SatoshiEX does not own pokemon.
Me: Yosh! Ikuzo!
"Milotic is unable to battle! Swampert wins! The Victory goes to Brendan of Littleroot Town!" The judge said in a surprised and excited voice.
(Yes swampert. In my Emerald version, my starter was treeko. But since Brendan is originally intended to have a Swampert I made it like that.)
"I…won…. I won!" Brendan said loudly while jumping up and down.
"I can't believe it…. Oh well, I did my best. Well done Brendan." Wallace said in an impressed tone.
"You were awesome Swampert!" Brendan said proudly to his Swampert as he patted its head and gave it a gold pokeblock "…and so were you guys" He added as he looked at 5 pokeballs in his hands. They were the pokemon that had fainted during the battle but Brendan still congratulated them and looked at them proudly.
Just then the door behind Brendan opened. A girl with brown hair came inside, she wore a sleevless orange shirt with a folded colar, fitting black shorts and a green bandana. She was none other than Brendan's "Rad" Neighbor May. (I used the word "Rad" because that was what was on the Pokenav's matchcall.)
"Hey Brendan, here's some tips before you take on the champion, first….." May started to say but stopped as she saw the two look at her with outmost amazement, though in Brendan's case he was very much happy she was there, he had been eagerly plannning to spend the remainder of his days with May after he won the pokemon league. Even though he usually didn't show it, he had a big crush on May ever since she and he had their 1st battle at route 103. He ofcourse had not told her, the thought of being rejected or being ignored or even avoided by the young brunette broke his heart. So he contented himself with being her friend and always being there for her, though looking at her with all these thoughts about him and her being a couple and traveling around Hoenn mad him blush at the spot.
"Umm… Brendan are you feeling ok, your kindda looki'n a little red" May said, as she was staring at him with worry written on her face.
"Wha-me-I-I'm-uh-great, awesome, spectacular, never been better." He mentally smacked himself for making a fool out of himself infront of the girl he liked.
"Anyways, looks like I was kindda late, the match is over. So who won?" May finally asked.
"You need to ask?" Brendan said in a proud tone and a big grin on his face.
May was stunned, she looked at Brendan straight in the eyes then she looked at Wallace. Wallace who understood perfectly what May was looking for nodded. May who also understood directly and couldn't hold her joy for her friend, flung herself on him hugging him tightly. Brendan was stunned for several seconds; he then made a face as though he had just been bathing in the Lavaridge town hot spring for 12 hours.
"Congratulations! I'm really proud of you Brendan." May said and made a really pretty face at him.
"T-t-t-thanks" Brendan stutered, while doing the best he could to hide the fact he was blushing. May seemed to have spotted this and quickly let go of Brendan, while blushing herself.
Wallace, who seemed to find the atmosphere rather tense, hurriedly went up to the marble steps where the door to the Hall of Fame was. He then shouted "Hey Brendan! I'll just be waiting up here" he winked and walked out of sight.
Brendan and May looked at each other then blushed and turned away. After a minute of silence, May started a conversation.
"Again, congratulations." May said with a smile.
"Thanks" Brendan replied quickly "But I don't deserve all the credit, I should really be thanking everyone I met on my journey, the different trainers who helped me gain experience in battling, the gym leaders who gave me a lot of good advice, my mom, my dad, Steven, everyone…" Brendan then looked at her Sapphire blue eyes, he then added "Especially my pokemon who always kep't believing in me, and of course you." Brendan finally finished, his face starting to heat up again.
"Me?" May asked looking confused
"Yeah you, you were always checking up on me everytime we met up. You gave me a lot of great advice, you always reminded me things I had forgotten to do, you also gave me lots of things that helped in the rough times in my journey, and of course the battles we had that helped sharpen my skills" Brendan explained
"If I remember correctly, everytime we battled I ended up loosing" May reminded him
"Yeah but it still helped me, everytime we battled you were able to push me to my limits allowing me to gain more understanding on how I should fight" Brendan explained to her with a wise look.
"I guess, you could say the battle we had on route 103 helped you get here" May said, starting to giggle.
"Yup, and you could also say that without you I would never have gotten this far" Brendan smiled at her.
May looked at him and started to blush, the smile Brendan made always made her feel so alive. It was as though his smile could cure even a person near death. If only you knew how much you mean to me May thought. She had long since had a crush on Brendan, but she was very much afraid to admit this, what if the friendship she and Brendan shared, the friendship in which May was so happy to have would end up getting torn apart just because of her confessing. No, she definitely wouldn't risk it. She didn't realize tears had been flowing from her eyer for quite sometime now. She was about to whipe them with her glove, but she was cut of by a hand holding her chin and a red handkerchief carefully wiping her tears away. She looked up Brendan was blushing madly while trying to wipe her tearful face.
"There, that's better." Brendan said as he put the handkerchief into May's hand. He then looked at her again to see if he had done good job, fortunately he had done a better job than he thought. She was astoundingly beautiful! Her tearful eyes sparkled and looked at Brendan. Brendan was just about to say something, when he realized his hand was still holding May's hand (when he gave her his handkerchief, he didn't let go) He felt his insides squirm, his face felt like it had just been hit with a flamethrower, May felt likewise. Then asthough an invisible force was pushing him, he started to lean closer to May, May who looked at him coming closer half felt surprise and half felt delight. She closed her eyes and leaned her head a bit closer, ready to except the boy's kiss. Then…..BAM!
The door flew open again, May and Brendan quickly came to their senses and moved away from each other. Although still blushing furiously they turned their heads to see who had just arrived. It was Professor Birch, the person who gave Brendan the pokedex and his 1st pokemon and also May's father. Brendan sighed gratefully that they had moved away from each other really quickly or they would have had to explain themeselves to Prof. Birch.
After 20 min. of congratulations and complements were given to Brendan, he was escorted by Wallace to the Hall of Fame. May wanted to come with him but Wallace told her that only the Champion may enter to the Hall of Fame to have his/her data recorded. This made May a little depressed as it did for Brendan. After his name was recorded, he quickly left and began his journey back to Littleroot town. Though he could easily call out his flygon to fly him home, he wanted to do it on his bike so he could travel a bit more and enjoy the memories he experienced while he journeyed throughout Hoenn.
When the sun was about to set he had reached Mauville city and started slowing down a bit when a familiar brunette caught up with him. May shouted loudly as she sped of "Hey Brendan! Last one to Littleroot is a Slowking!" she smiled cheerfully. "You know I never back down from a challenge!" He then cycled after her as fast as he could while happy to share this moment with the girl of his dreams. By the time they had reached Littleroot town it was already dark, most of the houses had the lights turned of. Brendan's feet felt like they were going to crumble any minute, so did May's, they had both reached Littleroot town at the same time but a great cost on pushing their legs beyond their limits.
"Ow, I'm gonna feel this in the morning" Brendan sighed
"Yeah, maybe challenging you was a bad idea. After all, you ARE the new Hoenn Champion." May smiled.
"Even though I'm the champion I want you to treat me just the same as you did before" Brendan requested her.
"Sure" She made a beautiful smile that was illuminated by the moonlight.
"Well…..I guess I better get going, I have to tell my mom and dad (if he's home) all about my Journey." Brendan said looking at her, almost hoping she would do something to stop him from leaving.
"Oh, ok… I guess I'll see ya later" May said, rather dissapointed.
She was about to leave when Brendan remebered something.
"May, wait!" He shouted, which made a few houses turn on the lights to see who had made the noise.
Brendan rushed to her, though it had just been a little jog but the running shoes made it look like he had just run a 50 mph sprint. "I want to give this to you" He said as he took a small black box out from his bag.
"What is it?" May asked as she took the gift
"Just open it" Brendan said with a big smile on his face.
Inside was a beautiful necklace which was made of a very strong yet smooth string of silk. May guessed that this was from a Beautifly's stringshot but what really caught her eye was a beautiful stone on the necklace, it sparkled as the moonlight was shown on it. It looked like a Ruby and a Sapphire had sticked together to form an almost perfect diamond shape.
"What is this?" May asked Brendan her face full of joy due to the gift.
"I found it when I was at the cave of origin, it was lying on the ground and sparkling, I thought it might be of some use to me in order to stop Groudon and Kyogre but unfortunately I never got to try it because Rayquaza already stopped the battle and since I didn't want to just throw it away I though I'd give it to you. I thought you might like it" Brendan explained and blushed at the last phrase he told her"
May didn't know what to say, even though it was his day because he had become the champion she didn't give him anything, while he gave her something that was almost priceless. Instead of just saying "thank you" she hugged him again and more tightly than when they hugged at the pokemon league. She tarted to cry, tears of joy streamed on her face. Brendan, again taken by surprise hugged her back. After what it seemed like almost an hour, they broke their hug and stared at each other, both smiling and blushing. Then their stomachs growled in unison. They both burst out laughing at themeselves.
"Guess this time we really need to go home" May said while holding her stomach and at the same time putting the nacklace safely in her bag.
"Yeah, can't wait to have mom's home cooking again" Brendan chuckled while putting two hands on his head. "Well see ya May"
But before he could dash to his house, May gave him a kiss on the cheek and winked at him. "Bye-bye" Then she sped of.
Brendan stood on the spot, somehow his Plusle managed to get out of its pokeball. Brendan didn't pay any attention to this he was used to Plusle getting out of its pokeball whenever it felt likeit. But Plusle wasn't used to being ignored by its trainer. He gave Brendan a powerful thunderbolt which brought Brendan out of Lala land and back to earth. Brendan then chased his Pokemon all the way to his house. He then thought to himself "Atleast now I know I have a chance" then he smiled and continued to chase his Plusle planning on what to do tomorrow with the girl he loved.
