Chapter 1

May sighed. She had been sitting in the back of the moving van for hours. She fingered her red headband, looking down at her lap. She was absolutely bored. She checked her phone, hoping for a message from her father. There was nothing. She sighed as the van finally slowed to a stop. She stretched and stood up, pushing open the doors of the van. She jumped out of the van, and was immediately hugged by her mother.

"May! You're finally here! Was it hard riding in the back of the moving van all the way here?" Her mother asked.

"Not as bad as you crushing me…" Her mother pulled back with a smile.

"Anyway, this is Littleroot Town. What do you think? This is going to be our new home!" May looked around a bit.

"Seems peaceful." She said.

"It is! Oh! You get your own room this time May!" May smiled broadly at this. No more sleeping with her mother.

"Awesome!" May said happily.

"Come on! You have to see the inside." Both females walked into the quaint little house. There were some Machoke walking around and putting away boxes.

"See May? Isn't the inside nice too?" May nodded, looking excitedly at the Pokémon. She couldn't wait until she had one of her own.

"The moving company's Pokémon help with unpacking and cleaning too. They really make moving easy!" A Pokémon came up and May's mother thanked it for its hard work. It and the other Pokémon soon left.

"You should go up and see your new room, May!" She nodded and rushed upstairs. After a few moments of running her fingers over her furniture, she was called downstairs.

"Come look May! Your father is on T.V." May ran down, absolutely ecstatic… Until she realized she missed it. May sighed.

"It looks like we just missed him.. But that reminds me. One of your father's friends lives in town. You should go and see him. His name is Professor Birch. He's just next door." Her mother said.

"Okay Mom." May walked out, still feeling a little sad about missing her father. She walked next door.

"Oh, hello! You must be our new neighbor. If you're looking for my husband, he's out, probably at the lab, but I have a son about your age! Why don't you go say hi?" May nodded, thinking that middle aged women really were pushy. She saw a brown haired boy wearing a stange white hat.

"Pokémon fully restored...Items all packed, and... Y-you... Who are you?" He asked, turning around in surprise as May cleared her throat.

"I'm May, your new neighbor," She said.

"May? Oh, you're the new kid who just moved in next door?! Huh... I didn't know that you'd be a girl. Dad-I mean, Professor Birch-told me you were the kid of a Gym Leader, and I sort of hoped you'd be a guy. My name's Brendan. Well, I guess we are still neighbors, so... Nice to meet you! Let's be friends, okay?" Brendan smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Okay!" She said, glad to have made a new friend already. Moving away from home at sixteen had caused her to worry about her social life.

"Huh? Hey, May... Don't you have any Pokémon? If you want, I can go catch you one. Aw, wait, I forgot... I'm supposed to be going out to help my dad catch some wild Pokémon. Some other time, okay?" He rubbed the back of his neck, looking sheepish. She smiled.

"Okay, if you want." He nodded.

"Well, I've got to go, but I'll see you later!" He grinned and ran off. May left the house, thinking he was nice.

"Okay… I still haven't said hi to the professor yet…" May mumbled to herself. She walked into the lab, only to find that he wasn't there either. With a sigh, she walked out, and she heard a scream coming from the road leading out of town. She hurriedly ran towards the sound. To her surprise, she saw a grown man being chased in circles by a small Poochyena. May held a hand to her mouth to keep from laughing as the man cried out for help. She had never been on this route before, which was apparently Route 101.

"Hey! You over there! Please help me out! In my bag there are some Poké Balls!" He cowered in front of the small creature and May chuckled before reaching into the man's bag. She picked a random one, and threw it. A small blue, four-legged creature appeared. It's fins were blue and it had orange on its cheeks.

The Pokémon began to

"Um… Mudkip! Use… Water Gun?" May had never had a Pokémon before and wasn't sure what to do. A burst of water hit the other Pokémon and it was weakened. Mudkip was strong. The Poochyena ran full force at Mudkip and tackled it.

"Water Gun again!" May called out. She felt more confident now, and as the Poochyena was hit, it fainted. The man sighed in relief.

"That's a relief. I went out into the field to do some research and I was suddenly jumped!" May struggled to keep her composure.

"You saved my hide, so thanks a lot!" The man looked closely at her.

"Oh? You're Norman's daughter, May! I didn't realize it was you! You've grown into a fine young woman!" May blushed at the compliment.

"Th-thank you!" She said.

"I can imagine my boy being flustered around you… If he wasn't so busy trying to help me out. Anyways, this isn't a place for a chat. Come to my lab." He started to walk. May shook her head in wonder.

So this is Professor Birch...
