A/N: Here is the mini sequel for May's Journey. I had hoped to get this up two days ago but a "nice" little virus completely destroyed all progress with this. Due to that issue this is a bit underdeveloped. Well anyway, this is mostly for fun and for Brendan and May moments. I'll do a more serious send off for these characters after I'm done with this sequel.
Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon and I certainly have no idea what goes on at airports.
Synchronicity of Hearts
Chapter 1 That was one crazy Shiftry
My name is May. May Sapphire. I am a pokemon trainer. Well… I'm actually more than that. My pokemon and I were crowned the new Champions of Hoenn a couple of months ago. Being a Champion is actually easier than it sounds. Steven told me that I have two choices. I could stay at the Pokemon League and wait for challengers, or I could just go off and do whatever I want since it's really rare for a trainer to get passed the first Elite four member. Of course I went with the second option. If they wanted to find the strongest trainer in Hoenn, they'd have to go look for me or hope I'm there when they beat Drake. These days I just relax with my pokemon and my awesome boyfriend, Brendan. What are we doing at the moment? Well Brendan and I are being dropped off at the air port. My grandparents called and said they wanted to give me a nice gift for my 16th birthday. Yep, I just turned 16 today. My grandparents gift was plane tickets back to Johto. Not much of a gift since I'd rather go just about anywhere else in the world… but its fine. It will give me a chance to visit my grandparents and get some nice quality time with Brendan.
"This will be a great trip. I'll get to finally see where you grew up." Brendan said as he grabbed May's luggage.
He's carrying my things without needing me to ask. He's the best boyfriend ever!, May thought happily. She tried to not show how happy she was over the small things and just continued the conversation. "Be careful to not jinx us. It would be terrible if we were jinxed right before we got on a plane."
"We'll be fine." Brendan said. "What could possibly happen to the Champion of Hoenn? As long as you have your pokemon, you are unstoppable."
"Oh yeah? What about that time with the creep?" May pointed out.
Brendan paused for a moment.
Ah yes, the incident we usually try to avoid talking about. Normally it was too painful to bring up. Though for some reason I had to use that as an example. After all, even with my pokemon I'm not invincible.
Brendan smiled for a moment and started walking again. "Oh, you mean that time when you professed your love for me?"
He's the worst boyfriend ever! May thought in anger. "That was not a… oh never mind. I don't feel like arguing with you right now." She followed Brendan through the airport in silence. Even if it was technically true, May didn't like it when Brendan played with her like that.
"May, are you angry?" His only answer was silence. "May?" Once again, he didn't get an answer. I guess I should let her cool off. Brendan thought.
They made their way through the airport and Brendan was relieved of the luggage. They eventually sat down and were just waiting to board the plane. May still hadn't said a word to Brendan in all that time. It was probably a good thing that pokemon weren't allowed outside of their pokeballs in the airport. May would have brought out Arcanine to teach her boyfriend a lesson.
Brendan couldn't take the silence anymore. "May! Come on, May. I don't want you to be upset on your birthday."
May sighed before saying, "Okay fine, I'll talk to you. I'm not even surprised. You tease me all of the time."
"Exactly." Brendan said. "It's one of the things that makes us such a good couple."
"Whatever you say, Mr. 'I'm going to dye my hair white' of all colors."
Brendan patted her head on top of the new bandana on her head. "That's strange coming from Miss 'I'm going to let a pokemon steal my bandana.'"
My bandana? Oh yes that's right. I'm wearing a new outfit. My mom got me a green bandana to replace the stolen red one. My red and green outfit isn't too bad. Brendan is even wearing a matching outfit to mine. Even so… I will get my original bandana back!
"That doesn't count! That couldn't be helped. You chose to dye your hair." May said.
"Okay fine, if you don't like it then I'll dye it black-"
"No!" May suddenly interrupted. A few people in the airport started to stare. She put a hand over her mouth. I can't believe I just shouted like that.
"What's with the strong reaction?" Brendan asked.
May took her hand from over her mouth and answered, "Oh nothing at all." He must never know I'm a little attracted by his hair.
May and Brendan continued talking for a while. Time quickly passed and they were in the plane and up in the sky before they knew it. May felt right at home because of her love for heights.
Brendan started to notice that the once sunny clear day turned into a storm. "Wasn't it sunny a few minutes ago?"
"I guess." May replied, "Maybe its because we're so high up."
"The weather shouldn't change this drastically." A flash of lightning brought Brendan's attention to the wing of the plane. It was really dark out.
"Man you have to relax. Don't turn into some hysterical person that thinks they see someone outside of the plane." May said.
There was another flash and Brendan noticed a pair of eyes for a moment. "Um… May?"
"What?"
"I just saw something outside." Brendan said full of dread.
May sighed and said, "You have to be joking." She pointed outside. "Look, there isn't anything there."
"Yeah you can't see anything now since its dark, but if you-" There was another a flash of light. May looked out and nothing was there. "Well… it probably moved."
"I'm sure it did. Hey, why don't you just take a nap? You're probably just tired." May suggested.
"I'm telling you, there is something on the plane! I'm not talking nonsense!" Brendan shouted. A few people stared at him.
"Shush! You are starting to freak people out." May whispered to him. "Listen to me. There is nothing there." Brendan was starting to scare her.
Suddenly a pokemon burst through one of the doors on the plane. No one had time to think as a Shiftry jumped through the plane. A strong force of wind was swirling throughout the plane and everyone knew they were in grave danger of being sucked out of the plane. Shifrty quickly took control of the wind inside of the plane to protect himself from falling out. That pokemon may have lessened the force of wind, but it was still strong enough that everyone was in danger. Carry on bags, food, and even some people were swirling around the plane as the pokemon kept walking. Shiftry stopped in front of May and used a strong gust against her.
Brendan grabbed her while yelling, "What is your problem?"
The clearly insane pokemon ignored that. May held on to Brendan as she tried to not get swept away. Then she noticed that her bag had gotten loose in all the confusion. She reached for it, but Shiftry blew another strong gust of wind. Her bag snapped and all of her items and pokeballs fell to the ground. Within seconds her pokemon were sucked towards the hole in the plane and then outside.
My pokemon! They wont be able to come back! May thought. Then she did the only thing she could think of. "Flygon, Arcanine, Grumpig, Lapras, Kyogre, Miltank! Come out!"
Brendan quickly released Houndoom, "Houndoom! Get the other pokemon!" Houndoom dug his claws into the floor for a second before he was sucked out with the others. "Oops I probably shouldn't have done that."
May heard the distinctive sound of all of her pokemon be released and didn't like that at all. "I have to help them!"
Brendan stopped her and said, "We can't do anything right now!"
The seven pokeballs that returned to them weren't much of a consolation since they were empty.
A team of Swinub appeared to patch the plane, so Shiftry jumped out before they would attack. The Swinub used a combination of mud and ice attacks to close the opening. However, the damage has been done.
The plane landed shortly after that incident. Only a few passengers were injured or lost their carry on luggage. Though May and Brendan were the only ones that lost some pokemon. They walked through the airport to pick up their only luggage that didn't get sucked out of the plane.
May didn't really say anything, but Brendan knew she was upset. All of her pokemon were ripped away from her and they didn't even have the safety of their pokeballs to prevent harm in such a fall. Brendan was a little upset as well since his Houndoom ended up falling too because of him not thinking clearly. Honestly, how can anyone really think clearly in a situation like that. That was so insane. I thought we were going to die. Brendan thought. He looked outside the window nearby and noticed the storm was nearly over. It was only a matter of time until the sun came out.
May sighed for what Brendan counted as the eighth time. She still didn't say anything. However, she was thinking a lot. Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid-
Brendan felt he had a good idea of what she was thinking, so he decided to make light of the situation. "That was one crazy Shiftry."
"No kidding." May dryly said.
Well at the very least, he got her to talk again.
