(A/N This is my first fan fiction. R&R)
Ash, Brock Max, May, and Pikachu were walking towards Petalburg City, because Ash was on his way to challenge Norman, the Gym Leader and May's dad. At their current location, Ash and the group were a day's walk away from Petalburg City.
"Just one more day until I get to Petalburg City to challenge Norman and win me a Balance Badge." Ash exclaimed.
May and Max were groaning, mainly because of the fact that they were hungry, and it was lunchtime and they had not eaten since breakfast.
May asked Brock, "Can we stop to eat now, it is lunchtime and I am starving? Ash, aren't YOU hungry?
Ash replied, "No, I can keep going on all day and night until we reach the Petalburg Gym." However, ash's stomach had other ideas and rumbled loudly in hunger.
Pikachu agreed, "Pika Pika"
"Alright, guys, according to the map, there is a campground and picnic area near here, so we can stop to eat lunch there," said Brock, the self-designated chef.
Ash, Max, May and Pikachu all sighed in relief, because they could eat soon. Once, the group got to the campground, they cleaned up the place while Brock gave them orders.
"Ash, May and Pikachu, you go look for firewood and water, and Max, you stay with me and help me make the food."
Ash, May and Pikachu then went into the forest, looking for firewood and water.
"May, if we split up, we can find firewood and water much faster, than going at it together. We will meet up at the campgrounds once we find the stuff Brock asked for," says Ash.
May, however was none too thrilled, mainly because she had a growing crush on the raven haired trainer, and she thought this would be a good time to tell Ash her feelings about him. But she agreed with Ash, mainly because splitting up the task would go faster than going at it together. Little did she know that the feeling was mutual with the other trainer.
Ash then released Corphish from his Poké Ball, who he then asked to help May to find some fresh water.
Corphish agreed, "Corphish Cor!"
Corphish took off to the side to look for fresh water and May followed it, while Ash and Pikachu continued on to look and gather more firewood.
