Hey Guys just to let you know this is my first story so it might be a little cheesy...

I don't own pokemon sadly.

May's expedition alone

1 chapter alone

May a girl with an ambition to be a top-coordinator was making her way back to her home town in Petalburg city.

She had said goodbye to her old traveling partners Ash and Brock. Ash stated he would start traveling in Sinnoh again with Brock and a girl named Dawn.

Her three rivals Drew, Solidad and Harley, decided that they all wanted to go to the Johto Regions and she decided to go as well. May told Max, her younger brother, that she wanted to travel through Johto all by herself with depending on him too much. She would have to ask her mom and dad first though.

Can I talk to you guys for a minute?" asked May.

"Sure, honey what is it?" asked her mother Caroline.

"I was wondering if I could go to the Johto Regions without Max." she closed her eyes imaging how her parents would take it.

After a slight pause Caroline, her mom, started "Well if you want to go there no way I could stop you." She opened one eye a flicker of hope in her eye was forming.

"Absolutely not" said her father the gym leader of the Petalburg gym.

May could feel her spirits dropping at an alarming rate.

"Why not honey? It would be a great experience" said Caroline. Norman, the Petalburg city gym leader and her father, looked from Caroline to May and sighed.

"Wouldn't it be better to take Max along?" asked her father.

"I want to go alone dad without Max's help" she stated firmly.

"Wouldn't it be a little dangerous?" asked Norman.

"Dad I'm not a little girl anymore and I can take care of myself. I also have my own pokemon to protect me." "Well……" looking from May to Caroline he knew he was beaten.

"Fine but be careful!"

"YES!! I mean… thank you father." May ran to her room smiling brightly and closed the door. A squeal could be heard from her room. I'll leave first thing tomorrow' thought May smiling as she was packing her new white backpack.

She woke up at seven thirty sharp. 'Uhh... I hate getting up this early' she thought.

She examined her old outfit carefully. It was old and worn out. 'Time for a change she thought.' She abandoned her usual red t shirt and blue shorts for a white tank top with small pink pokadots on the side and a red mini skirt with small gray pokadots coming from the bottom of her skirt. She still had her usual bandanna except she changed the color to light gray color. Lastly she threw on a short sweater with a hood. Satisfied she gathered up her pokemon eevee, and beautifly after eating breakfast and saying bye to Max, rushed out the door leaving petalburg city with a happy smile on her face.

Of course being her usual self she had not idea how to get to New Bark town the first stop to on her Johto journey.

She had to ask around a lot but she finally got on a boat the second before it was about to leave.

She blushed with embarrassment saying sorry to the captain for being so late and showed him her ticket. She stopped and panted taking in deep breaths.

'Man...I should of asked Max before I left' thought May. 'Anyways I'm here and that's all that matters.' She thought happily.

She could feel the salty ocean breeze on her face and felt relaxed by it. Without realizing it her mind drifted to what kind of adventures she would have in Johto and what new pokemon she would catch. Then she started thinking about Drew, her green haired rival, she silently thanked him for helping her on her pokemon journey.

'He could be a real jerk at times but he can be sweet when he wants to be I guess. She chuckled to herself thinking of his grass green hair and that smirk on his handsome face……."WHAT?!?!?" She may have shouted it a bit too loud other people were giving her weird looks.

' I got to stop doing that I can't believe I was thinking that I don't even like him were just rivals and if I'm lucky friends' she sighed quietly and closed her eyes enjoying the refreshing splash of the sea until she felt someone tap her shoulder...
