The story begins with Max and May sitting in the dining room on board the ship sailing home, eating Brock's cooking. The dining room seems to fit the almost exact same atmosphere at Max and May's table when it comes to diners. There was some thing suspicious about the diners in the dining room and Max was the only one that seem to half way notice it. There was a strange vibe in the air and Max wasn't fully sure yet what it was. May being the bimbo she some times is, didn't notice any thing out of the ordianry.

MAX: Hey May, you said some thing earlier to Ash that kinda stuck with me.

MAX: You said that if i came with you to Johto on your new quest that you would start to depend on me.

MAY: Yes i did.

MAX: I think you and i both know that that was stretching the truth, sister dear.

MAY: For an 8 year old boy, you're too smart for your own good young man.

MAX: Normally i would hurl an insult right back at you, but not this evening.

MAX: This evening, i'm all business.

MAX: Alright May, you and i are away from Ash and Brock, alone, except for all these strange strangers in this dining room.

MAX: It's time you told me the truth.

MAX: You told Ash and Brock that the reason you don't want me to come to Johto with you is so you won't depend on me, when you and i both know that isn't true.

MAX: I want the truth and don't leave any thing out!

MAY: (talking nervously) Gulp, i don't want, well uh, the thing is, i'll tell you why with out actually saying it out in the open.

MAX: May, why are you having a hard time talking and what do you mean out in the open?

MAX: You can say it with out every one in the room hearing you since we're at the same table.

MAY: That's not what i meant Max and you know it.

MAX: (yelling) STOP BEATING AROUND THE BUSH WOMAN AND SAY WHAT IS ON YOUR MIND!

MAY: (talking and yelling) Max, you're causing A SCENE.

MAX: May, i'm not mad because you won't let me go with you to Johto.

MAX: I just don't like how you're going about doing it and i want to know why already.

MAY: The 2 reasons why i don't want you to come with me is 1: Because i know some thing about you from your past that you don't want me, mom, dad, and the rest of the world to know.

MAY: Finally, 2: Because you're some what clingy, very annoying, and you fail to treat me like a big sister should be treated by her little brother.

MAX: (talking nervously) What do you mean by "I know some thing about you from your past that you don't want me, mom, dad, and the rest of the world to know?"?

MAY: Like i said, i would tell you with out telling you out in the open, meaning that i would not go there into specifics.

MAX: Just what are you blabing about when you say that i don't treat you like a big sister should be treated by her little brother?

MAY: You rarely notice when ever i get new clothes, what things i like to do when i'm not eating, shoping, and training, when ever i need some one to be my human shield when a pokemon is about to attack me, when ever i want some one other than Ash and Brock to talk to me or listen to me when i want to talk, and you don't seem to care some times about my feelings.

MAX: (pretending to snore) Zzzzzzzz!

MAX: Are you done yet?

MAY: Ugh you boys are so insensitive some times.

MAX: I don't know what you think you know about me, but i'll tell you now, it's not true.

MAY: (yelling) DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO WHAT I WAS SAYING ABOUT HOW YOU TREAT ME AND DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT BUSTER!

A stranger and her brother walks up to them.

STRANGER NUMBER 1: Yeah, she is your big sis and you should feel honored that she even talks to you and feeds you.

STRANGER NUMBER 2: Sis, don't get involved and please don't use the same you know what speech you've used on me so many times!

STRANGER NUMBER 1: Oh i will bro and you're going to listen with this glasses wearing geek and nerd.

STRANGER NUMBER 2: Max, dude you better cover your ears.

STRANGER NUMBER 1: (yelling) MAX, MAY IS GOING TO BE YOUR OLDER SISTER FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND YOU'ER STUCK WITH HER, SO DEAL WITH IT AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, YOU SHOULD TALK TO HER MORE, LISTEN TO HER MORE, BUY HER STUFF THAT SHE WANTS, AND WORSHIP THE GROUND SHE WALKS ON.

All THE OTHER FEMALES IN THE DINING ROOM: (yelling) BIG SISTERS RULE AND LITTLE BROTHERS DRULL.

It had finally became clear to Max what the ominous vibe in the dining room was. Most of the dining room tables on the ship had one boy with an older girl. The tables that had these certain guests knew what it's like to be Max and May. Max could feel the tension in the air, after the loud girl gave her speech. Probably because most of the guests were girls with their younger brothers with them.

STRANGER NUMBER 2: Okay sis, it's time i made my voice heard too.

STRANGER NUMBER 1: May, cover your ears because he's better at being rowdy than i am!

STRANGER NUMBER 2: (yelling) MAY, MAX IS YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER, SO I SUGGEST YOU START BUYING HIM STUFF THAT HE WANTS, START LISTENING TO HIM WHEN IT COMES TO POKEMON, AND START BEING NICER TO HIM.

ALL THE OTHER BOYS IN THE DINING ROOM: (yelling) LITTLE BROTHERS RULE AND BIG SISTERS DRULL.

May discovered some thing really fascinating after both speeches. Most of the dining room tables on the ship had one boy with an older girl. The tables that had these certain guests knew what it's like to be Max and May. She could feel the tension in the air after the loud boy gave his speech. Probably because most of the guests were boys with their older sisters with them.

MAX and MAY: (yelling together) FOOD FIGHT.

All the boys in the dining room ran over to the left side of the room and the girls ran over to the right side of the room and began a food war. Oh and what a freaky war it was. Food being thrown in faces, girls having sweet stuff dumped on their hair when ever a boy crossed the imaginary border, boys getting ice dumped in the place where they were really uncomfortable, and tables being turned into shields.

WAITER and WAITRESS: (yelling together) STOP AND CLEAN THIS PLACE UP NOW!

With the food war ending in a tie, with both sides ending up being the loser, the guests stopped flinging food at each other and started cleaning up. The boys' way of cleaning consisted of wiping the food off the walls, floor, and tables with their hands. The girls' method included lots of napkins and a trash can or 2. While cleaning, Max and May were still agruing kinda loudly about needs and wants.

MAX: May, you're not only an xanthippe, you're also the loud mouth of the family.

MAX: Girl, you need to get a grip.

MAY: I still say you should treat me better and that you and i need to find what it is our souls are seeking.

MAX: I know what you mean by "Find what it is our souls are seeking.", but what do you mean by treat you better?

MAY: Well for starters, you could notice when ever i get new clothes, what things i like to do when i'm not eating, shoping, and training, when ever i need some one to be my human shield when a pokemon is about to attack me, when ever i want some one other than Ash and Brock to talk to me or listen to me when i want to talk, and would it kill you to rub my feet every now and then?

MAX: (blushing) Eww, i think i'm going to vomit my guts out.

MAX: (blushing) It probably would kill me.

MAY: As my little brother you should worship the ground i walk on, be my slave, bow at my feet, and obey my every whim.

MAX: (blushing) I don't want to be bound to you like that and there are some freaky things that older sisters should not ask their younger brothers to do for them.

MAY: (talking with an evil smile on her face) Oh, do you mean the last thing i said you should do for me?

MAX: (blushing) I beg of you May to have mercy and to please don't say it!

MAY: (talking with an angry expression on her face) My feet discust you, don't they?

MAX: (yelling and blushing) JUST KEEP WIPING THE FLOOR, DARN IT!

MAY: Max, you and me have travled all over hoenn with Ash and Brock on foot a lot of the time and you never considered how much my feet hurt.

MAY: (yelling) AFTER ALL THE TIMES I'VE PROTECTED YOU WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING, YOU SHOULD TREAT ME LIKE A QUEEN AND RUB MY FEET ANY TIME, DAY OR NIGHT.

MAX: (feeling a little sick) Oh man, i think Brock's food is coming up.

MAY: You should be my slave and serve me.

MAX: No no!

MAX: I'm not touching those big stanky honkers.

MAY: (yelling and talking) HEY WATCH WHAT YOU SAY TO A GIRL and by the way, they are soft and in need of a little boy with soft hands.

MAY: (talking playfully) Know where i can find a little boy with soft hands?

MAX: (blushing) No no!

MAY: (talking playfully) I think you do know.

MAX: No no!

MAX: I'm not touching those big stanky honkers.

MAY: (yelling while taking off her shoes and socks) QUIT CALLING THEM THAT AND TAKE A LOOK AT THEM TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE LIKE!

May puts up her bare feet a foot away from Max's face and he turns a little pale and green.

MAX: (yelling) FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY, SOME ONE HELP ME AND MAY, I BEG OF YOU TO HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL!

MAY: (talking with an evil smile on her face and holding her bare smelly feet a foot away from his face) Does it smell like slavery, my little brother?

MAX: (vomiting loudly and then talking) WAHH WAHH WAHH and there goes Brock's cooking.

MAY: Are my feet really that discusting?

MAX: The devil himself would be tramatized by those big smelly honkers.

MAY: (yelling while putting back on her socks and shoes) KEEP TALKING LIKE THAT AND I MAY STOMP ON YOUR FACE WITH THESE BIG SMELLY HONKERS OF MINE.

MAY: (talking with an ominous look on her face) I'm guessing you wouldn't like that very much, would you, little brother?

MAX: (getting down on his knees) Please accept my humble apology May!

MAY: You're forgiven.

MAX: Now that all of that is over, i think you and i should start out on new quests alone when we get home.

MAY: That's more than fine with me.

MAY: Period!

MAX: I'm glad that you and i both agree that we both need some thing, but can't find it in each other, that we don't need each other, and that we should go our seperate ways to find out what it is our souls truly seek.

MAY: Me too.

After every one finishes cleaning up the dining room, Max and May go to their rooms to go to sleep. While lying in their beds, they think long and hard about what their future holds. Max didn't know what quest he wanted to go on by himself and if his parents would let him. May was sure of her quest and was thinking about how to make her and her pokemon stronger. Finally, both of them fall asleep.

This is one amazing good fan fiction story, if i do say so myself. I hope you all didn't dislike the first chapter because it was so long. It's rare for me to read or write long stories. I like to read and write stories that are short, quick, and to the point. I hope you all liked it and keep reading if you want to know the secret about Max's past. I'll be typing up more chapters about him. This is only the begining. Please type up your reviews about what you thought about this chapter! Stay curious my friends!
