Ok, guys, this is Sonic the Saiyan, with something very special.

I got the permission, I got the permission from Legendary Mew, to republish his story Time Can't Heal Every Pain on my profile! This was quite the old Pokemon story, that was deleted a while back, while not the best, was one of my favorites. So, first things first.

Not my story in the slightest. The only part of it I own are these first author's notes, and he has requested that I remove all of his author's notes from the story. I got it from an old archive that managed to hold it after it was deleted. I do have permission to do this, as of today, so if there is a problem, I have the allowance for it.

The story is incomplete, and while I found it to be a very great read, you may disagree, which is fine. This is just so you know what you are getting into. I also have no plans to continue his story from where it left off. This is simply me getting it back out there so it can still be read.

That is all.

Everyone looked forward to this day, a day where all friends would finally meet again and nobody expected that someone would miss it. They decided this reunion after Ash's victory in the Sinnoh league, but even if Ash had lost, they would have come together. However, with Ash's victory they had one more reason to enjoy this moment together.

Twinleaf town was chosen as their meeting spot, not just, because it was Dawn's hometown, but to give all of Ash's former travel companions the possibility to pay a visit to the Sinnoh region. Everybody was relieved to hear that no one had to decline the offer.

Then the day finally arrived, the day that would bring them closer together, therefore it wasn't surprising that everybody woke up very early.

"Hey Brock!" Dawn waved happily in front of her house, spotting the first guest.

"Hey Dawn, how are you doing? Am I the first?" Brock greeted the blunette, entering the small front garden of the house.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking and yes, you're the first one." Dawn smiled at Brock who then turned around.

Both of them looked at the point were heaven and earth met, looking straight to the road that leads every traveler to Twinleaf town. Appearing from out the distance were two Kanto natives, however, both seemed to have a heated conversation.

Brock sighed, shaking his head before he let out a small chuckle. Dawn instead only knew one from those two approaching figures.

"Brock? I know that's Gary there, but who is that girl that almost chokes him?" Dawn asked curiously.

"Oh, right, I forgot. That redhead there is Misty and she can be a hothead as well." He responded.

"I wonder why they travel together." Dawn wondered aloud, tilting her head to get another perspective from this scene. "It's almost like they try to hide something from each other."

"Stop imagine things that have no chance to be real Dawn." Brock patted Dawn on her back, almost pushing her to the ground. "Sorry for that. You should know that both Gary and Misty are complete Egomaniacs, no way that they could show passion for each other."

"If you say so." Dawn replied, seemingly not convinced.

When Gary and Misty came closer to the blunette's house, Dawn could hear what they were actually fighting about..

"You can't tell me that Ash invited you, there's absolutely no way." Misty shouted at the male brunette.

"Why should your opinion matter?" The researcher said in his typical mocking voice.

At the garden fence it became even worse when the redhead pushed the Oak' family member, so that he tumbled backwards before he fell over the fence, landing on his neck. While Brock and Dawn laughed in the background, Misty just looked over the fence to admire her 'work'.

"**OUCH** … What's wrong with you? " Gary rubbed the back of his head, gazing at the fiery redhead.

"What's wrong with me?! You act like a jerk and that's what you get for it!" She replied harshly.

It was time to close this 'chapter' and Brock started to separate these two brawlers, however, he was smart enough not to come between the fronts of them.

"Hey Misty! Hey Gary!" The rock-type gym leader caught the attention of the two trainers and only now they realized that they already arrived at there destination. Within a second, every tension between these two seemed to be vanished, improving the all-around atmosphere.

"Brock!" The redhead hugged her longtime traveling companion.

"Oh well … another gym leader." Gary sat on the grass, sighing.

"I'm glad to see you, too, Gary, I guess." Brock chuckled nervously and Misty giggled slightly before she turned to Dawn and Brock knew that he had to introduce them to each other.

"Misty, that's Dawn. Dawn, that's Misty." Brock pointed to Dawn and Misty respectively.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you! I heard that you're a pretty good coordinator." Misty noted.

"Thank you, it's nice to meet you, too. Brock and Ash told me a lot about you." Dawn smiled at a newfound friend.

Both were shaking hands, making the first meeting official while Gary just scratched his head. Unlike Misty, he knew Dawn from one of his Sinnoh expeditions, remembering her obsession with his grandpa's poems.

"Hello Gary." Dawn waved slightly, receiving just a simple nod from the Pokémon researcher.

Brock, the leader of the current squad, looked around, waiting for the last guests to arrive. In the end they should be to eight, leaving four guests that didn't arrived yet. However, the three people around him let him remember some good old memories.

"That's just leave Tracey, Max, May and Ash on the list." Brock announced before he looked at his watch.

"I can't still believe that this amateur actually won the Sinnoh league." Gary shook his head. "I guess that the Sinnoh league is the easiest one after all."

Misty immediately pulled out her mallet and hit Gary on his head with it, leaving a smoking spot on his head. Brock wasn't surprised at all, however, Dawn didn't know how to react to this scene.

"Relax Dawn, that's normal and it happened to Ash quiet often when he still traveled with me and Misty." Brock smiled weakly.

The blunette shrugged it off and looked again to the horizon. It was beautiful around this time in Sinnoh and the weather couldn't be better for their reunion. If only the rest of the group were already here.

"Hey, I think there they are." Misty pointed to the opposite direction of the street where she and Gary arrived some minutes ago.

"Oh boy …" Brock sweatdropped when he saw two familiar faces that approached their current location really fast.

The two trainers were a girl with orange clothes, black biking shorts and a green bandana while the second person was a raven-haired boy with a base cap, blue jeans, finger-less gloves and a black and yellow sweatshirt.

Both were running as if they were followed by a herd of wild Tauros, but the only two who cause a stir where the two figures. Shoulder on shoulder, they tried to shake off their 'rival', however, it didn't seem that someone had a major advantage so far and in a few seconds they would have to be satisfied with a tie.

A few meters before the garden gate, May tried to pull Ash by his arm, so he would loose his focus, however, the Sinnoh league champion tripped over his own foot and fell to the ground with May still clinging to Ash's arm.

Due to the fact that he fell faster than she did, Ash twisted in mid-air and landed on his back right in front of the house of Dawn. Not able to hold her own balance, May fell right on top of Ash and their lips met for a few seconds, much to the 'delight' of the on looking four other guests. Both of them weren't able to withdrew from their current position, however, they blushed heavily.

"That's sure is interesting …" Gary noted, leaning over the fence and watching the two lovebirds.

"That's so cute!" Dawn clasped her hands together, looking at the pair.

Brock was envy, but not because of May, but rather the fact that Ash kissed a girl before him. It wasn't possible, however, to read Misty's expression who just stood there with her mouth wide open and disbelief in her eyes.

Realizing what they are doing, May pushed herself away from Ash, but not without giving him a slap across the face. With a face as red as a Charmander, the brunette wiped off the dust from her clothes while Ash, with a face as red as May's, still was on the ground, rubbing his cheek.

"What was that for?" Ash sat up, looking at the princess of Hoenn.

"You shouldn't just steal the first kiss of a girl!" May said, trying to sound angry but she failed at doing so.

"If I remember correctly, it was you who clang to my arm." The raven-haired boy mentioned.

"Now it's my fault? Every normal person would have just slowed down, but you clumsy creature fell down." The brunette put her hands on her hips, arguing with the champion.

"And you …"

"You're so cute, even if you are arguing." Dawn squealed, interrupting the discussion between the two.

May and Ash stopped their argument, blushing like crazy and May pulled her bandana down to cover her face while Ash did the same with his hat.

"Ashy, I see that you use your new found popularity for the right things …" Gary started to laugh before receiving a slap from Misty to the back of his head.

Right in time, Glaceon and Pikachu arrived at the scene, taking the attention from their trainers. Both Pokémon panted heavily, admiring the speed of their trainers for once.

"Nice to see you again, May, Ash." Brock stepped out of the garden, extending his hand for a handshake.

"Oh well … It seems that our little race was for nothing .." Ash scratched his head after he accepted the handshake. "Actually we thought that we were going to be the firsts."

Brock, Pikachu, Glaceon and Gary laughed about Ash's childish character, although he was the champion of the region's league at the moment.

"Did you arrange to meet? Originally I thought that May would come from Hoenn while Ash would come right away from his meeting with Cynthia." Brock questioned.

"Actually we didn't find each other …" Ash started.

" … but these two found each other, so it just happened." May finished for Ash and pointed to the two Pokémon.

"It's interesting that they have such a strong bond …" Brock wondered.

"Where's your brother May?" Misty found her composure again, hoping that nobody would mention the kiss.

"He should …." May turned around, but there was no sign of Max. " .. It seemed that they couldn't keep up with us."

"They?" Dawn was slightly confused by that.

"Yes, we met Tracey on our way and I assume that Max and he will come soon." The Hoenn coordinator explained, placing her forefinger on her chin.

Indeed, Max and Tracey soon appeared on the way, walking in a rather calm manner. Max didn't change much since his Kanto journey and Tracey looked like always, wearing his green shirt and red headband.

"Sis, you really make it difficult to keep up with you." Max said to his sister, but the brunette was just happy that her brother didn't see the 'accident'.

"Come one, you should finally be used to that speed of me and Ash …" May teased her brother a bit.

Max just rolled his eyes while Tracey greeted everyone of the group, although the greetings with Gary were always not the best ones. Everyone was finally here and that meant that the reunion party could start, with all of the events of course.

"Do you mind if we go into the house?" Dawn broke some minutes of silence.

Nobody seemed to mind and everyone from the three different regions entered the Twinleaf town house.

Dawn's house or her mother's house in this case wasn't very special, but it looked similar to the Ketchum residence in Kanto. Within minutes, everyone put his bag into the corner of the floor, being relieved to get rid of that additional weight.

Much to Misty's dislike, Ash and May were almost every single second side by side and it became difficult to think that they didn't make it intentional.

As on a clue Dawn's mother Johanna entered the living room, excited to see some of Dawn's friend. Mrs. Berlitz smiled when she saw all the friendly faces, although she had a strange feeling when she spotted Gary, however, he was an invited guest after all.

"Who's hungry?" Johanna asked casually before two stomachs started to growl like a Groudon.

"Does that answer your question?" Brock asked rhetorical while everyone laughed at May and Ash, excepting Misty who seemed to be in a huff.

Johanna just waved with her hand, motioning to her guests that they should follow her into the kitchen. Inside the room was a table with nine seats and everybody was eager to get a seat near the food, however, Misty seemed to want something else near her.

It was an oblong table and Johanna sat at the front of it, so she could bring the food to the table and leaving the table without disturbing any of her guests.

On the right side of the table sat in this order Max, Dawn, May and Ash while on the other side of the table were Tracey, Brock, Misty and Gary. According to Misty's expression, she wasn't very pleased to sit next to Gary and that May was next to Ash didn't help her either.

Soon everybody had his plate in front of him and nobody disliked the food that was cooked by Dawn' mum. Like usual, more plates were needed for May and Ash, but they didn't need longer to finish their meals though.

"Who wants desserts?" Johanna asked hopefully.

Besides Misty and Tracey, everyone hold up their hands, signaling that they wish to taste the excellent dessert of Mrs. Berlitz.

Misty instead poked onto her plate, scratching it with her pork every time she heard May giggle about one of Ash's jokes. The two boys next two her were either stupid or had an obsession with nurse Joys. She knew that something was going on between May and Ash, but Misty wouldn't go down without a fight.

"So Ash, how was your meeting with Cynthia?" Dawn asked randomly into the round.

"Well, at first she talked with me about the battles I had during the league and that she was impressed how I turned an almost-defeat into a victory." Ash gulped his dessert, eating it with one bite so he could continue his explanation. "Then she invited me to a dinner, so we could talk about my upcoming battles against the Top 4."

"WAIT!" Misty interrupted harshly. "This CYNTHIA asked you out?"

"Asked out?" The champion answered confused. "It was just a diner at a restaurant and we had a great time. We talked a lot about Pokémon and stuff."

"What …. For stuff?" This question came from May who seemed to have a worried face expression and her eyes slightly watered up, but she suppressed some tears.

"I don't really know anymore." The raven-haired boy scratched his head.

Tracey listened very carefully, being amazed to hear about champions from other regions and Max did it as well. Being in a huff, Gary didn't make any attempts to hide his jealousy.

The table turned into some sort of food when Brock started to bite the wood while crying and the rock-type gym leader couldn't believe that Ash could actually have a chance with Cynthia. Life was so cruel with Brock.

"How can't you remember?" Misty almost jumped over the table to choke Ash, but somehow she could control her anger. "You had a GOD DAMNED DATE with a champion!"

"Date? You must be crazy Misty." Ash chuckled slightly, imagining Cynthia as some sort of closer person to him.

"Do you like …. her?" May hesitated to ask that question, because it hurt her in her soul.

"If I didn't like her I would have to hate her, so I think, yeah, I like her." Ash answered without any hesitation.

Everybody sweatdropped at Ash's typical dense answer, but May looked rather sad at that answer. Misty, however, was red with anger after she learned that Ash not only had his first kiss with another girl, but also his first date.

She didn't even looked when she rammed her pork into the table, missing Gary's hand only by a few inches.

"WHOOAAA … What's your problem?" Gary shouted at Misty, but the redhead just ignored him.

"Is something wrong Misty?" Brock asked, wondering if Misty still had her crush on Ash.

"Everyyythinnnnng iisss just fiiiinneee!" Misty grunted before she left the table, pretending to go to the bathroom.

Confused by these actions, Dawn thought it was time to spend some time together, because this should be the best day ever. After some minutes, Ash was finally ready and May wasn't hungry anymore after she heard the 'story'.

"It was delicious, Mrs. Berlitz!" Ash patted his stomach, leaning backwards in his chair.

"I have to agree, I'm sure I couldn't do it any better myself." Brock complimented the talented cook and the woman was slightly embarrassed that her cooking skills received such fondness.

"It was nothing. Really!" Johanna blushed slightly and she started to make the dishes.

The woman left the table and entered the kitchen, cleaning up the dishes. This left Max, Brock, Gary, Dawn, Ash, Tracey and May in the dining room and nobody knew so well, what they should do now.

"Do you have some suggestions what we could do today?" Dawn asked happily.

"WHAT?" Gary answered a bit harsh. "You didn't plan anything?"

"Calm down, boy! I'm sure we find something to do in no time." Tracey tried to talk normal with the obvious unhappy researcher, but it only had minor success.

"I thought I was supposed to be the kid here …" Max chuckled a bit, looking at the researcher who behaved like a baby at times.

"Trust us, Gary! We know how we can spent our time with funny things and I'm sure it can harm you very much." Brock stood up, leaving the table to ask Johanna if she needed help with the kitchen work.

"Dawn?" Max asked with a wide grin. "Could I use your computer? There's something that I have to check out."

"Uh .. I don't see why not." The blunette stood up and pushed her chair closer to the table. "Come on."

The two individuals with blue hair left the dinner room before they hurried into Dawn's room where Max could search for the information he wanted. Tracey also looked for some work to do, being used to help at Oak's help, he searched for some tasks. Only three left at the table, but very soon, Gary's mobile phone started to ring. The researcher risked a quick look at the device before he dashed to the outside, answering the call. Seven of nine people were out of the room, only leaving May and Ash inside the four walls.

"Ash? .." May thought it would be a good time to talk with Ash about a particular 'accident' that happened not long ago.

"What's up?" Ash smiled, seemingly not knowing what this conversation would be about.

"Well … the accident in front of the house … "

"Don't worry, May. I won't tell Max anything about this, because I'm sure he wouldn't spare me if I did." The Sinnoh league champion explained, breaking the tension.

The brunette sighed slightly in relief, but a slight tint of red appeared on her cheeks. In front of the other people, she had slapped Ash, but this was just an attempt to hide her true feelings. However, she needed to know if her mentor felt the same and it was the perfect opportunity and who could know if she gets another chance.

"Were you .. Uh .. disgusted by it?" May started slow, but if Ash didn't like the kiss, she would knew that he wasn't interested in her.

"By the kiss?" Ash asked surprised and May nodded. "Uh … oh well .."

It was an uneasy situation for the champion, but the girl next to him wouldn't let him go without receiving an answer.

"I felt a … bit .. Uncomfortable … you know …" Ash explained, however May's eyes widened at that. "Not because of you … no no no … I was afraid that you would hate me … I know that you didn't want your first kiss like that … or with me."

May listened with big ears, absorbing every word Ash said and it wasn't the feared indirect rejection. However, it wasn't a confession either, helping May not so much.

"I don't mind the way it happened …" May blabbed out, not realizing what she actually said. It shouldn't look like as if she wanted it to happen that way.

"So …" Ash tried to force her to continue. " … so you mind with whom it was then?"

That was a death trap for May. What should she say right now? If she told him that she mind than her chances with him would shrunk to a minimum, but if she tells him that she didn't mind than it was almost like a confession.

"Uh … oh well .." At the moment, May just hoped that someone entered the room, freeing her from that awkward situation.

Happily, for her she was saved by non other than her little brother who entered the room with a wide smile on his face. The perfect opportunity to change the subject.

"Hey Max, why are you smiling like that?"

"I just looked for my grades in my last test and guess, I have an A+!" The youngest Maple stated proudly, however, it didn't surprise anyone, because Max always had a big knowledge about Pokémon and everything that was connected with them.

"That's just fine." May patted her brother on the shoulder, breaking up the conversation with Ash who wasn't quiet sure what she tried to hide.

"That means that you have enough knowledge, but now you need some practical training as well." Ash thought for some seconds. "What do you think May? Should we ask the others to do a small tournament?"

"What do you mean by that?" The coordinator asked confused.

"Just a little tournament among us, so Max can learn something from the best." The champion put his fist into the air.

"It sounds fun, but where should we battle? It isn't so as Twinleaf town has the best battlegrounds, unlike Petalburg." The brunette informed her 'mentor', who returned to his head-scratching behavior.

"I know an empty filed, not far away from here."

Everyone in the room looked to Dawn, who just entered the room, seemingly eavesdropping for several minutes so far. May got a terrified look on her face, realizing that the blunette could have heard her little conversation with Ash and it wasn't possible that Dawn was as dense as Ash.

Dawn winked at May who just turned red, however, Ash didn't notice, because he started his own conversation with Max, who still bragged about his grade. The best way to make it undone would be to accept Dawn's suggestion and leave the house as soon as everybody was here again.

"Do you know what Dawn?" May forced a smile. "It's a beautiful idea, why don't you get the others, so we can start?"

"Okay May, but we'll talk about it later." Dawn left the room in search for Gary, Tracey and Misty.

The situation was extremely uncomfortable for the Hoenn coordinator.

"I assume that a little tournament would be the perfect way to continue a 'perfect day'." Ash emphasized the two last words to embarrass May even more.

'Just wait a little longer …' May murmured under her breath, swearing that she would tell Ash sooner or later, today.

The Twinleaf town native informed everyone about their unofficial tournament, even Gary. Much to her surprise nobody seemed to mind and that although Misty and Gary didn't had the best time so far.

Dawn's secret' place laid 5 minutes away from her house, near the forest. It was surround by several trees, making it the perfect spot to do their battles.

"Does someone has a good idea what rules we should use?" Ash started the first conversation in several minutes, realizing that Misty was in a huff and Gary just didn't suit well with the all-around situation.

"I think we should do a tag battle tournament!" Dawn shouted, taking everyone by surprise.

"How did you get that idea, Dawn?" Tracey asked puzzled.

"We're eight people, that would make four teams and I'm sure that we could borrow Max one or two Pokémon from us, didn't sound that funny?"

Everybody thought about that suggestion.

"How do we decide who teams up with you?" Gary said his first words in almost half an hour.

"Shouldn't be a problem to decide that on our own, right?" Dawn said casually.

"I want to team up with Ash, it's almost an eternity since we last did." May blurted out, but that was exactly what Dawn planned. However, there was someone else who would love to team with Ash and the redhead wouldn't back down with ease.

"It would be better if Ash teams up with me, May." Misty put her hands on her hips, claiming her 'partner'.

"Why?" May asked harshly. "Ash and I have a similar style and that's just perfect for the tournament." The brunette stepped in front of Misty.

"So what?" Misty stomped onto the ground. "I can't remember that someone appointed you to 'Mrs. Chosen One'."

"Chosen One?" May asked puzzled, not knowing Ash's status among the legendary Pokémon. "Ash, what is that supposed to mean?"

"It's a long story, but can't we just start with the tournament?" Ash asked desperately.

"Only if I team up with Ash!" Misty still demanded that she would be Ash's partner, maybe even in more than one way.

The little argument was interrupted by two Pokémon who had a great time when they chased another. Looking at the odd couple, Misty was furious that even May's and Ash's Pokémon came along very well, but that didn't have to mean that the trainers had to do so as well.

"I think that Glaceon and Pikachu want that May and Ash team up, so we shouldn't ruin their wish." Dawn seemed to support everything that happened between the two.

"It's fine with me." Brock tried to organize some things now. "May and Ash will team up, I will team up with Max, Tracey and Dawn are partners and Misty and Gary will tag also."

"WHAT?" Gary and Misty yelled out at the same time, both of them not agreeing with that decision.

"Come on it won't be that …."

"PIKA/GLA!"

The 'idyll' was cut short through to two huge screams from the two Pokémon, forcing everyone to look for the reason of it. Two metal hands grabbed the ice-type and electro-type, pulling them to a large box before they were trapped inside of it.

"Damn it!" Ash should have known that the day wouldn't end without an appearance from those idiots.

From out of the forest appeared a robot with the form of a Blastoise, leading Gary to frown a bit.

On top of the giant machine appeared three figures that stalked the trainers for years and it started every time with that same stupid motto of them.

"Make you ready for trouble." A pink haired woman almost sang.

"Make it double." The man next to her finish the first rhyme, but they couldn't go any further.

"SHUT UP!" The combined shouting of the group interrupted the patented motto of Team Rocket.

" ….." Jesse and James couldn't believe that these 'teens' allowed themselves to talk with them like that.

"Give us our Pokémon back!" May and Ash yelled in chorus.

"Did we ever?" Team Rocket asked a rhetorical question, not getting it why these twerps always thought that they would return the Pokémon without a fight.

"Okay, that don't leave us any other choice then!" Ash released a Pokéball from his belt, maximizing it.

The champion of the Sinnoh region threw the ball wide into the air, making clear that the called Pokémon would come out in the air. The sphere opened and revealed a large, orange Pokémon that flew majestic through the air.

"Ash? Since when do have you gotten your Charizard back?" May was amazed that the Kanto native had one of his strongest Pokémon with him.

"Do you really believe that Charizard would miss a chance to face the Top Four in a few days?" Ash smiled, making May blush a bit.

"I guess not .." The brunette replied in embarrassment.

"Do you think I'll surrender all the honor to you, Ashy-boy?" Gary called his own Blastoise to confront the 'fake' one. The giant turtle really looked stronger than the last time Ash saw him, but he never expected that Gary would become weak only because he was a researcher now.

"Wow, a Blastoise!" Max couldn't suppress his curiosity, looking at the fully evolved Pokémon with wide eyes.

"These little twerps want to fight against us." The cat-Pokémon Meowth looked down from the robot's head. "However, this time we put all our money into this monstrous machine."

The cat pushed a button on his remote controller, leading the giant Blastoise to lower his canons. Out of the pipes came two nets that flew into the direction of the two Kanto starters, but they wouldn't go down like that.

"Charizard, use Flamethrower!" Ash ordered his long-time Pokémon.

"Blastoise, use ice beam!" The researcher knew how he could destroy a net and the ice beam would do its job.

The Flamethrower burned the net while the ice beam froze it, forcing it to fall to the ground where it broke into millions of splinters. It was obvious that this act of Team Rocket would turn out into their umpteenth failure.

"Meowth? Didn't you say that the net was fireproof?" Jesse yelled to the cat who was responsible with the purchase of their machines

"Whatz your problem? I wanted to buy a fireproof one, but you intended to buy two and we didn't have enough money to buy two of them!" Team Rocket started to argue among them.

Ash and Gary nodded to each other, knowing what the other one was thinking. It was rare to see the two Pallet town trainer with same idea, but every time they teamed up it would turn into one of the most fatal combinations.

"Use Overheat on the head!" The champion pointed to the place where Team Rocket was arguing.

"Use Hyper beam on the same spot!" Gary copied Ash's movement and the two Pokémon started their most powerful attacks, shooting them at Team Rocket. The two attacks fused into one, making it even more dangerous before it hit the mecha-Blastoise head.

The other trainers and boys, including Misty, Dawn, Brock, Max and Tracey smirked, knowing what would come next. On top of the giant robot occurred a mediocre explosion, not enough to kill someone, but enough to blast the Rocket's away.

"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" The three individuals seemed to have a patent on that catchphrase as well. Team Rocket disappeared within the sky, leaving only the lower body of their machine there. It was time to free Pikachu and Glaceon from their 'dungeon'.

"I'll get them!" May ran to the gigantic machine, approaching it before Ash or anyone could say something.

However, the attacks on the head caused a chain reaction and the machine was about to explode, frightening everyone who saw it. Being at a lose of words, Ash tried to ran after May, fearing the worst if he didn't do anything.

"MAY! NO! …" Ash yelled with all of his might, but …. It was too late.
