HotXbun: Welcome to my collection of Pokémon holiday one shots. The first one will be for the forth of July.

Chapter 1 American Independence Day 2018
Ash's POV
I walked off a ferry.
I was in a town for a fireworks festival.
I was walking to the Pokémon Center...when I bumped into someone!
I looked up...and gasped.
It was May!
"May", I said in shock.
"Ash", May said in shock.
With that we both smiled before hugging each other.
"It's good to see you", I stated when I broke the hug. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here for the fireworks festival", May revealed. "You?"
"Yep", I replied.
"Then let's go together."
"What", I asked in shock.
With that May gave me a piece of paper.
"Here's the address for the place I'm staying", she revealed. "Pick me up at seven."
With that May left leaving me dumbfounded.
The Next Night
I knocked on the door of the room May was staying in.
She opened the door...and my jaw dropped.
She was wearing a Yukata...and looked really pretty in it.
"Ash", May said in concern. "You okay?"
With that I shook myself out of it.
"Yeah", I said. "I'm fine. You just...look really pretty."
This statement made May blush.
"Thanks", she said bashfully.
With that May closed the door.
"So", I started. "I was thinking we could go to dinner before we head to the festival."
"Great idea", May stated before she grabbed my hand. "Let's go."
Ten Minutes Later
May and I were in the restaurant.
"So", I started. "What have you been doing?"
"Actually", May started. "I'm working at a foster home."
"A foster home", I said in shock.
May nodded.
"Meeting Manaphy made me realize how much I like taking care of children."
I smiled at May.
"I think that's great."
This caused May to smile at me.
"So", she started. "What have you been doing?"
"Actually", I started. "I'm a Pokémon Ranger now."
"Really", May asked in shock.
"Yeah", I replied. "But I'm just a rookie at the moment."
"Well", May started. "I think that's great. Does this mean you get to see Jackie?"
"Actually", I started. "He's my mentor."
"Really", May asked. "That's so cool! How is Jackie?"
"Great", I replied. "He's not as young as he used to be, but he's still a great mentor."
"Say hi to him when you see him won't you", May asked.
"I have a better idea", I stated. "Why don't you come with me? We can go and see him together! And you get to see what a Pokémon Ranger base looks like!"
"Am I even allowed to do that", May asked.
"It should be fine", I stated.
"Well...", May said nervously. "If you say so."
One Hour Later
May and I had arrived at the festival.
"Wow", she said in awe. "This is amazing!"
"Sure is", I agreed. "So...what do you wanna do first?"
"You can pick first", May replied.
"Nope", I said. "As the gentleman I will let the lady pick first."
This made May giggle. A giggle that was making me feel warm inside. I didn't know why.
"Okay then", May said. "I'll pick first."
One Hour Later
May and I were sitting on a hill.
"We got a great spot", she said happily.
"Sure did", I agreed.
With that the fireworks went off.
They were beautiful...but to me...May was even more.
Could I...could I be falling for her?
HotXbun: Ooo. Interesting.
As you see...I am leading this up for a sequel. It'll be the next one shot.
