Journey to Johto
By Hanoko
This is my very first fanfic ever, and it's about one of my most favorite couples ever, Haruka and Shuu (May and Drew) from Pocket Monsters (Pokémon)
I don't know how many chapters I'll make.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Pokémon, never will, never have, and don't plan to.
Made by fans, for fans.
Chapter 1: A Surprising Guest
Max and May soon arrived to their home in Petalburg City only to be greeted with a huge hug from their mother, Caroline.
"May! Max! Welcome home!" she exclaimed with joy.
"Let go of me Mom, you're going to break my glasses!" exclaimed Max.
Caroline quickly let go of her two children and went to the living room. May and Max followed her and sat on the couch.
"May, Max? Where are your little friends Ash and Brock?" she questioned.
"Oh, Brock is going back home to Pewter City and Ash is going back to Pallet Town, then to Sinnoh." May replied.
"I see… that's too bad; there was a new recipe I found that I wanted Brock to taste…" Caroline sighed. "Ah, but, aren't you going to go to Sinnoh with Ash?"
"No. I was… well… I was planning on going to Johto…" May paused. "…to participate in contests, it's getting quite big there."
"Oh dear, how long until you leave?"
"Soon, I just came back to drop Max off and I wanted to pick up Beautifly and Skitty as well."
"Will you be able to stay for a few days at least?" Caroline looked hopeful.
"Of course! I just got back; I don't want to leave right away!" May giggled.
"Yay!" Caroline hugged her daughter, tight.
"In that case I must make some preparations… tee hee hee…" she whispered to herself.
"Did you say something?" May questioned.
"Oh no, nothing!" Caroline chuckled nervously.
"Hmm…" May eyed her Mother suspiciously.
"Well, while you two have your girl talk I'm going to go find Dad. Where is he?" Max said.
"He should be in the gym with Kenny." Caroline replied.
Kenny is the gym assistant for the Petalburg gym. He can be a rather weird person, but he's nice. He is rather close with Norman, May and Max's father, and helps out a lot. Norman is the Petalburg gym leader, and is quite famous with the ladies despite being married already.
"Thanks, Mom." Max said.
"Well, I'm going to go prepare lunch, why don't you go take a walk May?" Caroline suggested.
"Sure! I think I'll take Beautifly and Skitty to practice for the contests in Johto!" May seemed excited.
Caroline sighed, even though she just got home all May could think about was contests.
May went to her father's greenhouse to get Beautifly and Skitty; this is where her father's pokémon stay when they're not training or having a gym battle. They naturally welcomed Beautifly and Skitty with open arms into the greenhouse.
"Skitty! Beautifly!" May called out to her pokémon she hadn't seen for the longest time.
As soon as they heard her voice they came rushing. Skitty quickly jumped into May's arms and Beautifly landed on May's head. May was overjoyed to see them again.
"I missed you two so much! Guess what? I have great news!" she had started.
Beautifly and Skitty both looked at each other in unison, confused; then they looked back up to May.
May began to giggle. "We're going to the Johto Region!" she said happily.
Skitty got a huge grin on its face and started chasing its tail while Beautifly started flying about for a few seconds then landed back on May's head.
"So… why don't we take a quick walk to the park and practice a little bit?" May suggested with a smile.
Both of the pokémon agreed and they followed May out of the greenhouse. May walked around town with Beautifly on her head and Skitty next to her easily keeping up. It didn't take long before they arrived at the park and took a small break on the bench.
May stretched. "Mmm! It feels so good to be back in Petalburg!" then she started thinking back to the last time she saw him. Yes, him, her rival, her friend, the one who taught her many things about pokémon contests. The one and only Drew.
"I wonder if Drew is in Johto yet…" May whispered to herself.
She had beat him during the Grand Festival but it wasn't long afterwards that he had appeared again, beating her in battle yet again. That was when he announced to her that he was planning to go to the Johto Region for some more pokémon contests. If he hadn't told her that, who knows if she would've made the decision to go as well. Harley and Solidad were also going to be there as well, but putting them aside, she had been through more with Drew.
Skitty suddenly jumped onto May, who was very deep into her thoughts right now's, lap; startling her.
"Skitty! You surprised me!" May giggled.
That was when she had remembered, practicing!
"Oh right! Well then, let's get started!"
She quickly stood up and ran to a rather empty part of the park.
"Beautifly, use silver wind! Skitty, use blizzard!"
It seemed that Beautifly and Skitty's attacks were the most beautiful thing in the park; that was when May started to remember even more of her past journey.
Back then way before she caught Skitty, Beautifly was her very first contest pokémon, and it was just before her first contest ever… It was when she met Drew for the very first time. He was arrogant, rude, and seemed to be way too full of himself. Beautifly still hadn't mastered it's silver wind back then, May could almost hardly believe how wonderful Beautifly's silver wind is now compared to then.
Back then May was practicing throwing a couple of Frisbees to Beautifly while Beautifly did gust and then May would catch them. She caught two of them, but the third one went flying off… straight into his fingers.
Suddenly a big shock of realization hit May's head.
"What the heck? Why am I thinking about him right now?" she exclaimed.
Everyone in the park suddenly directed their attention towards the girl who had shouted such a loud outburst. Embarrassed, she turned to Beautifly and Skitty and told them time to go home.
May and her pokémon were greeted by her mother who had a really smug look on her face. May had wondered what the face was for; did she do something to the food?
"May! You never told me that you were going to be traveling to Johto WITH Drew!" Caroline teased excitedly.
"Wait, I'm what?" May never mentioned she was going to go to Johto with Drew. Heck, Drew was probably already in Johto! Wasn't he?
That's when she walked into the dining room… her heart almost jumped out of her chest from the shock. There he was, right there, eating the soup her mother had made for lunch that afternoon.
"Hey May." He smirked.
"Y-you! What are you doing here?" she exclaimed.
"I was on my way to Johto until I ran into your friend Ash who said you were also planning to go to Johto." He replied.
"But… that doesn't explain why you're here." She said back.
"I also heard you were planning to travel alone," he started, and then looked up at her. "and since we're both going to Johto I thought we should travel together, so I delayed my departure for a bit longer."
May looked rather shocked, why was he even still back in the Kanto Region? It had been quite awhile since he had told her he was going to Johto, and knowing Drew he should've had left right away. Then she realized she should say something back.
"Oh. Why, did you want to travel with me or something?" she questioned.
Drew's face had a quick flash of embarrassment but it was gone in an instance, to the point May didn't even notice.
"Ah, no, that's not it. I just figured…" he began, then smirked. "…that without your little companion buddies you'd be getting lost all over the place as clumsy as you are!"
May snapped.
"What is that supposed to mean!"
"Exactly as it sounds!" he snickered.
What happened to the Drew who was actually being nice for a change before telling her he was leaving for Johto? Maybe it was just because he assumed that would be the last time he saw her or something.
"Well, maybe I don't WANT to travel with you Mr. Rose!" she snapped.
"Humph." He seemed irritated.
Caroline walked back in.
"Aww, couples quarrel, brings back memories of Norman and me! You know, before we got married." She giggled, enjoying herself.
"Mom!" May blushed with embarrassment. "Sorry about that, Drew."
Drew's face was also a bit red, but gone in a few seconds.
"…No problem." He said in a low voice, trying to cover the embarrassment in his voice.
"So, when do you two plan to leave?" Caroline asked.
"Well, the next boat to Johto isn't leaving for another three days, since the last one left a few hours ago." Drew replied.
"Oh oh! I see! So, where are you staying?" Caroline asked with a hopeful and extremely excited look on her face.
"Uh…" he said with realization that he hadn't thought about that.
May then realized what was going on and looked at her Mom, and began to shake her head slowly.
'No, no Mom!' she thought to herself.
"Why don't you stay here? We have a guestroom you could use." Caroline said.
"Um… sure. I'll take you up on the offer then." He replied wondering why she seems so excited.
"Ah, geez…" May whispered to herself as she walked out of the room.
"What's wrong sweetie?" Caroline asked.
"I have a headache; I think I'm going to go lay down for a bit…" May was exhausted over what happened just now.
Why are Moms so weird?
