A/N Here is a mini sequel for May's Journey. This is mostly for fun and to show off the pokemon. I'll do a more serious send off for these characters after I'm done with this sequel.

Chapter 1 Why did I have to end up with you?
"Houndoom! Get the other pokemon!" Was the last thing I heard my trainer say before I was sucked out of a plane. Thanks again, Brendan. As if my life didn't suck enough. Houndoom thought as he fell out of the plane.
May's pokemon suddenly popped out of their pokeballs. Arcanine, Lapras, Miltank, Flygon, Grumpig, and even Kyogre were released into a huge storm. All of them were confused and weren't sure why they were falling.
A huge gust of wind blew all of them far away from each other. They were scattered throughout Johto and they all prepared for the impact.
Lapras and Kyogre both managed to land in water safely. Lapras sputtered for a few moments from the shock and looked around. No one she knew was in sight. She ducked underwater and hoped the storm would pass soon.
Flygon's attempts and flying through the storm were in vain. He barely managed to glide close enough to a tree branch and grab it. He held on with all his might so that he wouldn't get swept away again.
Grumpig and Miltank were tossed in the same direction. Grumpig tried to grab Miltank's hoof, but the wind picked up again and they were blown in different directions. Of course, Miltank was unhappy with being separated from him. She didn't even bother worrying about the fact that she was falling.
Arcanine had made sure he bit down on Houndoom's tail to keep from losing him too. Houndoom yelped in pain and they both managed to land in some bushes. The bushes didn't provide much cushioning so the impact actually knocked Houndoom out. Arcanine held on and did everything in his power to not let them get swept away.
It didn't take long before the storm suddenly died down. The once harsh weather was reduced to a gentle rain. Lapras surfaced and was finally able to take in her surroundings. "What is this place?" She wondered aloud. She could see plenty of water and wild plants on the shore. I don't see anyone. May, the other pokemon… no one at all! Lapras didn't like it. She was completely alone. Then I'll just find them! "Anyone there?" Lapras swam around in circles for a few seconds before calling out again.
A sudden noise startled her. Someone was clearly hiding from her. Lapras noticed some grass move and quickly shot an ice beam in that direction. She heard an, "Ow! Why are you attacking me?" Then a Rattata walked in her line of sight.
"Sorry but no one answered me. You could have been trying to attack me." Lapras explained. "Why didn't you say something?"
"Because you are a giant creature that suddenly showed up after a big storm. You are obviously dangerous since you attack before even thinking to ask questions!" Rattata yelled. "And of course there are many pokemon in this area. They just choose to not show themselves to a trigger happy stranger like you!"
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. Now can you hurry and tell me if you've seen my friends?"
Rattata sighed for a moment before answering, "I would he happy to help you hurry and get out of here before you hurt someone else. Unfortunately, I didn't see any other strange pokemon in this area."
"Oh…" Lapras looked down at her reflection in the water. Where could they be? Where should I start looking for them? She looked back over to Rattata. She noticed he was cleaning his whiskers from bits of ice. "Hey, can you help me find them?"
Rattata paused his cleaning. There is no way I'm sticking around that giant! "Uh no I can't. Unlike you, I can only travel on land. Please go ahead and find them on your own. I wish you luck!" Yeah… hurry and find your friends and stay away from me!
"Oh fine." Lapras huffed and started to swim away. "Annoying little Sandshrew."
"I'm a Rattata!" I don't look anything like a Sandshrew!
"Whatever! Same thing!"
Meanwhile… Grumpig was off on his own. He survived the fall quite well. I'm so glad I have psychic powers and a spring-like tail. Grumpig had to blast tree branches out of his way, and then use his tail as a way to lessen the impact from the fall. Maybe Flygon is unharmed as well. Although I'm sure the others had trouble I hope they are okay. Grumpig thought.
He glanced around the area and noticed he had landed in a garden. Grumpig was surrounded by flowers. Only a few of them were damaged from the storm. Hmm… was the storm worse around the plane? I suppose that makes sense since we were up high. Well anyway, I better try to find everyone. "May! Arcanine, Flygon, Lapras! Mil-!" He stopped himself from shouting her name. "Wait a moment. I'm separated from Miltank." He paused for a moment and then laughed. "I won't have to be harassed! I'm going to enjoy this!" Grumpig started to skip in a random direction. He wouldn't yell for anyone. His plan was to just look for everyone and hope that he didn't run into Miltank first. Grumpig did a little twirl and hummed as he searched.
Grumpig wasn't right about Flygon having an easier time. Flygon ended up battered and bruised in the tree he managed to hold on to. He used up all of his energy to keep from falling off in the storm. Flygon looked down. Yep, I'm very high up. He unlatched his claws from the tree tried to stretch them. My claws are sore and my wings are hurt from trying to fly in the storm. There is no way I can get down from this tree.
"Hello!" Flygon shouted. "Can anyone help me get down?" His only answer was a sudden wind blowing against him. He felt himself starting to lose balance. "Uh oh."
The gust knocked him backwards and off of the branch he was standing on. Flygon quickly grabbed on with one claw to save himself. He winced from the pain in his claw. I can't… hold on. Flygon tried to bring up his other arm, but he couldn't before his claw gave way.
"Ahh!" He shouted before he hit the ground with a thud. A few leaves fell from the tree from the shockwave. Flygon had landed with his stomach to the ground. He tried to get up, but that whole ordeal made him too tired. Flygon flopped back down to the ground. "I guess I'll just… stay here for a while." Everyone… where are you?
The rain finally stopped and Miltank sighed in relief. She was in an unknown city. Its lucky that I landed in this trash pile. Its oddly soft. Miltank stood in the middle of a large supply of trash backs that would be picked up later. She shook off some water and hoped that the stinky trash smell would go with it.
She hopped down from the pile and started walking to the edge of the city. It looks like no one else is here. I better go find everyone. Miltank smiled and said, "First I have to go find Grumpig." Miltank had high hopes for everyone. She just knew that everyone was okay. Kyogre was probably enjoying his temporary freedom while everyone else would try to find each other. I can't wait for May and everyone else to be reunited. I'll do my best to make that happen! She thought.
Arcanine and Houndoom hadn't moved from their spot in the bushes. Houndoom had been knocked out for a while. Arcanine stepped out and looked up at the sky. The weather is starting to clear up. Good thing it is since I wasn't sure how much longer I could take the rain. It would be a pain to try to drag Houndoom with me to shelter anyway.
Houndoom had landed on his back. His legs were up straight in a very awkward position. If someone walked by, they'd probably think he was dead.
Arcanine gently pushed Houndoom over to the side. Houndoom's entire body fell to the side and out of the bushes. "Hey!" Arcanine yelled. "Wake up! We have to go find everyone!"
Houndoom groaned in pain and stood up. "What happened?"
"I think we fell from the plane. It looks like most of us are separated." Arcanine answered.
"Oh yeah! I remember now! I was brought out to somehow get you guys. That idiot made it so I ended up in danger too." Houndoom said angrily.
"It doesn't matter what happened in the past. Right now we need to find everyone. Lets go. I'm sure we can track their scents."
Houndoom's foul mood seemed to have lifted. Arcanine had high hopes until Houndoom said, "Wait… we're separated. That means I can run away!" He laughed before continuing, "Go find them yourself. I'm staying as far away from that boy as possible. Good luck finding them and staying far away from me!" Houndoom began to walk away.
Arcanine was not okay with that. He jumped in Houndoom's path. "I'm not going to let you run away. You will stay with me and look for everyone."
Houndoom was getting annoyed. "Oh please, there is no need for me to stick around you. The only ties we have is the fact that your trainer is dating mine. You don't even care about Brendan. Now move!" He started to growl.
Arcanine growled right back at him. "You can't bluff your way out of this situation. We both know I'm much stronger and faster than you. If you gave Brendan a chance then you may have had a chance against me. We need to stick together."
"I refuse to work with you!" Houndoom made a quick dash to the left. He only got a few feet away before a paw had him pinned to the ground by the back of his neck. "Let me go! I just want to be free!"
Did he forget I'm a Champion of Hoenn? I've had way more training. Catching him is too easy. "No way. You aren't considering how everyone would feel if you left."
Houndoom gave up. "Why? Why did I have to end up with you?" He felt Arcanine take his paw off of his neck. Houndoom stood up and faced his captor.
"I think its good that things ended up this way. I should be able to safely bring you back to Brendan. In return, you can help me get back to May and the others." Arcanine said.
"Whatever… I'll just try to enjoy my time away from that human as much as possible." And look for any possible chance to get away from you. Houndoom thought.
These seven pokemon were all off on their own personal journey. Kyogre and Houndoom were somewhat content with the separation. However, the rest hoped that their paths would eventually intertwine with their friends.
