A/N…May: (yes May) Hello?? Hi, have you seen Ash?
Me: (bursts in looking exhausted) MAY!! Sorry readers, she's been running everywhere looking for him.
May: (confused) Where am I?
Me: (exasperated) You're at the beginning of a story girl! My readers can hear you!
May: (slightly worried) Uh Oh, am I in trouble?
Me: (sighing) Well I guess I'll let it slide for now. You can stay if you behave and do what I tell you, OK?!
May: (teasing a little) Yes father. (Giggles)
Me: (groaning) To think I promised to look after her while she's here. Anyway the story is Advanceshipping (please don't flame the couple). R&R and enjoy the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon.
Prologue
It had been more than a month since he disappeared, and still May wouldn't give up hope that she would find the one she loved most.
Ash Ketchum, Pokémon master in training, had never been seen since the night his deepest fear was realized.
The two had been keeping a secret relationship ever since the events at the temple of the sea.
They loved and cared about each other dearly, and had promised to marry each other when the time was right.
But something terrible had happened, May was slightly lonely with another person to travel with ever since the old gang broke up, and another guy had his eyes on her.
Drew has had a crush on May for a long time and had been charming her a little while in Hoenn.
In Johto, he began traveling with her, making romantic advances occasionally.
May agreed to let Drew date her after a while, even though her heart wasn't in it.
She was constantly telling herself that it wasn't anything serious and that she would soon be back with Ash, her one true love.
However Ash had been keeping himself in line.
Admittedly he had an easier time than May because he always traveled with their good friend Brock, an excellent mentor in these kinds of things and much akin to an older brother.
This helped him resist the new girl he traveled with, Dawn, who had had a crush on him for a long time.
She had tried very hard to gain his attraction, but he never showed her anything more than a strong friendship.
He was always looking forward to his little chats with May, cherishing her above all else, always waiting eagerly for the time when they could be together again.
But everything came apart when he was watching a broadcast of her latest contest.
May had won against the winner of last years Grand Festival in a regular contest.
She and her fans were estatic and celebrating vigorously, Ash couldn't even describe the pleasure he was feeling at the center.
Until, in the excitement, Drew rushed forward from the sidelines and hugged her tight on camera.
May, caught in the adrenalin rush of victory had returned his hug happily, not remembering until later, in the Pokémon center she was staying at, that Ash had promised to watch this contest and most likely had seen everything.
He had never missed one yet.
She immediately tried to call him, but Brock told her Ash was nowhere to be found, ever since last night while they were eating.
The next day, she received chilling news, Ash's Pokémon and traveling supplies had been found, covered in tear stains, deep in the woods.
When Team Rocket attacked that day, Brock stopped them and gave them one of his best meals in exchange for what Ash's pokemon knew.
Meowth translated that Ash had released his pokemon, told them to tell May he hoped she was happy with Drew, and had disappeared into thin air with a strange man.
There was quite a bit a bit of confusion until May stepped forward and explained everything,
Drew understood, and agreed to help May and her friends find Ash.
They had been searching over a month, to no avail.
All May wanted was to find Ash, apologize for cheating, and beg him to take her back.
Now she fears she will never get to do so.
However there is hope for her.
Near Ash's house where May is currently staying, two of her old friends have finally figured out were Ash went.
For now your only clue is that pokemon are unnative to that area...
A/N… Me: Well the category spoils it doesn't it?
Her friends are popular and excellent authors here on who will be revealed next chapter.
As you can see I myself promised to take care of the little rascal here until they get back from an important errand.
May: (indignant) Rascal?! How have I disturbed your life here?
Me: (sarcastic) Well lets see, I noticed someone who had trapped herself in the basement, there seems to be a blur as big as a young girl haunting the house, someone ate my food that was supposed to last another two weeks, and someone happened to barge in on this story!
May: (trying to look innocent and cute) I wonder who it could be?
Me: (loud groan) Whatever, i'll find a use for her. I'll also show myself in the the story later. Until next time, Bye!
May: Bye!
