Fan Fiction #2

Chapter 1

Hi everyone, this is LOTOER. If you are wondering why I dropped my last fan fic is because I wasn't happy with the story line, I didn't have a plan on where it was going. I only really started it because I wanted my typing skills to improve, but I actually got into a little bit so I decided to make an actually hobby of mine. I am fully committed to getting this fan fiction done. BUT! I want this fan fic to be different from others. I want it to follow a few rules:

In the author's notes it will not hint or say anything that could happen in the next chapter.

I will not accept suggestions of shipping, Pokémon being or people being bought into the story. (I have a set plan that I intend to follow)

I hate Drew.

I am aloud one or two swear words per chapter.

I am going to put at least one bad joke in each chapter

If you really have a problem about the story and why I choose an option over than another one you can just send me a quick PM and I will happily reply as soon as I see it with a (hopefully) sufficient answer to why I wrote what I wrote.

R&R, have a pleasant read

In the very south of the Kanto Region there was the town of Pallet. Known for its quiet nature and its rolling green hills and glorious autumn afternoons, it was considered as one of the treasures of the region producing some of the most talented trainers to have ever lived. In that town there was a certain house in which Delia Ketchum lived. She usually lived by herself when her son was on his adventures. But she hasn't seen her son for four and a half years. In fact no one has seen her boy in four and a half years.

In a room filled with trophies showing past accolades, posters showing famous trainers and starter Pokémon and pictures with past travelling companions, sat May Mayple. Her long chocolate brown hair was knotted and frayed, her eyes weren't filled with her usual sweetness, but being replaced by dullness and boredom. She sat in her stained pink and purple pajamas even though it was late afternoon. She sat on the window still with her hand supporting her chin as she started out on to the pleasant green hills with the last rays of the afternoon resting on the swaying trees and the superbly green grass. She thought 'I look out this window everyday but it always seems to surprise me on how beautiful Pallet Town is.'

*knock knock*

Not even bothering to respond to the door knocking May just slumped her head knowing that whoever it was would enter anyway.

"May," a sweet voice said "it's such a lovely afternoon come and take a walk with us."

"No." May replied rather bluntly.

"May, you're coming on a walk with us now." This voice said rather ticked off.

"Ugh, Misty you know that I won't talk to anyone and dampen the mood." May replied.

"I don't care May," the red head replied "you are coming with us whether you like it or not! Now get changed we are leaving in five."

"But Misty…" May turned around to see the red head with her hair in signature ponytail on the side with denim shorts ending just below her knees with a purple undershirt and a yellow hoodie on with blue and red runners.

"Look May I know the past four and a half years have been tough for you but remember it has been tough for all of us. Everybody misses him, but we just gotta tough it out until he comes back. We've looked everywhere we could've May and he wasn't there. He will appear when he thinks we don't care anymore or have forgotten him."

This shut May up as she passed Misty without another word to go get her clothes from downstairs to get changed for the walk. As she walked downstairs through the living room she saw Dawn sitting on the couch reading a Contest Weekly magazine. "Oh hey May!" Dawn said brightly "Good to see you out of that room."

May grunted in response.

After getting changed into black biker shorts and a green hoodie with a white undershirt she met Dawn and Misty at the door, Dawn with her red hoodie and black t-shirt with white shorts that end half way up her thighs with black skate shoes.

"I like your outfit May, it's good to see you out of those stained pajamas." Dawn said with a smile.

"They are my favorite pajamas Dawn." May said with a hiss.

This wiped the smile off Dawn's face.

"C'mon Iris is waiting for us outside." Misty said.

As they walked down the garden path to go on their walk, Iris shouted from a nearby tree "hey wait for me!" The purple haired girl shouted with her yellow runners and short frilly purple dress. The group walked down a gravel path making small talk.

"So Dawn are you gonna go compete in Jhoto next season?" Iris asked.

"Well I have thought about it for a while now and I think I am gonna go to Jhoto full time." Dawn said surprising everyone. May was about to make an angry word to Dawn saying that she is needed to stay in Pallet to support Miss Ketchum, but Dawn spoke before she could begin. "I asked Delia about this and she said she fully supported my decision saying I should follow my dream of being a top co-ordinater." May closed her mouth on that note. Ever since he left she has been in Delia's company not even leaving to visit her parents. The only reason why they knew that May was safe was by Max telling them that she was with Delia. She was too afraid of the world now, ever since that happened. But now wasn't the time to think of that.

"OH SHIT!" Dawn shouted.

"Wha-?!" everybody taken back by the sudden outburst.

"I WAS MEANT TO CALL MY MUM ABOUT THAT TODAY SHE IS GONNA BE SO MAD!" Dawn said as she ran back towards the house.

"OMG, THAT REMINDS ME I FORGOT TO FEED GYARADOS, IT"S GONNA BE SO MAD!" Misty shouted as she ran off towards Prof. Oak famous windmill lab.

This left Iris and May alone, with Anime sweat marks down their foreheads. "Well since they are gone I might as well go home." May sighed. "Uh, May please, I wanna go to the beach. Can you come with me please?" Iris asked shyly. May sighed, it's not like she didn't like Iris she just thought she was very weird. "Alright Iris, I'll go with you just this once though." May said half-heartedly.

"Thanks May." Iris said with a smile.

"It's alright."

As May and Iris walked towards the beach in Pallet, May couldn't help to notice a large amount of Pokémon following them or seeing what they were up to. As they got to the white sand beach closed in by maroon cliffs with Krabby's sitting on the cliffs blowing bubbles.

"It's my favorite place in Pallet," Iris said "it's so peaceful, I feel one with nature."

"Axew." Axew said popping its head out of Iris's hair.

"Axew agrees," Iris said "what's yours May, your favorite place in Pallet Town?"

"His room." May said without a second thought.

This took Iris's breath away for a second, then she smiled at May. May looked at her and was about to ask why she was smiling.

"You know May," Iris started "all the Pokémon following us before weren't just doing it for the hell of it. Did Ash ever tell you about all the adventures he had growing up in Pallet Town? He made friends with all these Pokémon, they might not miss him as much as you do, but they miss him." While Iris was saying all of this a Nidoran walked up to May and started to rest in her lap. Taking May by total surprise but proving Iris words even more.

"And by the look of it, they act as if he is coming back, soon." Iris ended.

"Axew."

.o0o.

On an island somewhere off the coast of the mainland of the Hoenn Region…

A Pidgey was flying to an island with a certain message in its beak…

Heh, that was short but I guess I have to start somewhere, that's all I really wanted to cover in this chapter though. Next one will be a bit more exciting.

Singing out LOTOER, peace.

(starting on the next chapter as this one uploads.)
