Petalburg city, Hoenn Region 12:05 AM

May Maple was riding her bike through the city, she had just finished re-challenging the Hoenn Grand Festival, and this time she won. she was carrying the cup in the basket of her new green bike, which was given to her by her rival Drew as a congratulations present. She was wearing a blue bandanna, a turquoise black collared shirt, a black skirt, and blue biking shoes.

She had a large smile on her face as she biked home, her parents told her over the video phone that they were going out to eat to celebrate her victory.

'these are going to be the best days of my life' she thought, she was nearing the gym, and her smiled enlarged. She stopped her bike and quickly ran into her house. she knocked.

"Mom! Dad! I'm home" she said happily…there was no answer.

She turned the nob of the door, and surprisingly it was open, she passed through it and entered the living room.

"Hey guys, I'm ho-" May stopped when she saw something that would change her life forever , tears flowed down her cheeks

"N-no" she struggled to say as she covered her mouth with her two hands

"M-mom….d-dad….Max!" she cried as she fell to her knees.

Petalburg Hospital, 3:45 PM

May sat quietly with red eyes in a small waiting room, a doctor entered the room.

May quickly stood upend looked at the doctor "W-well?"

The doctor sighed and shook his head, causing May to gasp and tears fell down her cheek once again.

The doctor put a hand on her shoulder "I'm sorry, there wast anything we could do, they lost to much blood.

That had only made her cry more.

"I'm sorry," the doctor said simply as he walked out of the room.

May quietly sat back down and cried into her hands 'this is the worst day of my life'

Five days later, Petalburg Pokemon Center,8:57 PM

May laid on the bottom bunk in silence, her back facing way from the wall as she quietly sobbed. she had been like this ever since, 'who could have done this?' she thought "why would someone do this?" she asked.

"What am I going to do?" she said wile sobbing. over the past few days, the police had started to investigate the case, and the officer Jenny told May that it would be best if she stopped traveling for a while and find a place to stay, since the murder might be targeting her as well. But there was a problem, May didn't know were to go, She had no other family besides her parents and Max.

suddenly the poke balls sitting on the table beside the bed opened revealing Blaziken, Munchlax, Beutifly, Glaceon, Delcatty, and Wartortle.

at the sound of the poke balls opening, May turned around in her bed and saw her loyal Pokemon .

"Hey guys," she said as she sat up and wiped her tears

"Munch" said Munchlax sadly as it sat on the bed and looked at its trainer

May smiled at the normal type and rubbed its head. Over these days May's pokemon would release themselves from their balls to comfort their trainer.

May sighed "What am I going to do guys? I cant stay in this Pokemon center forever,"

The Pokemon all looked at each other and muttered a few words to each other and turned back to May.

"Any ideas?" she asked

all of them shook their heads, but then Beutifly and Glaceon had ideas pop in their head simultaneously.

May saw the expression on Glaceon and Beutifly's faces and asked "What's up you two? got any ideas?"

Glaceon and Beutifly ran/flew to May's fanny pack, and began to rummage through it.

"Hey! What are you guys doing" she exclaimed

Glaceon and Beutifly then removed their heads from May's fanny pack and ran back to her.

"What is up with you tw-" May stopped talking when Beutifly dropped a red rose in her lap and Glaceon dropped a half ribbon.

May looked down at the two items in her lap and back at the two Pokemon staring at her intensely.

"You guys think i should ask one of them?" she asked the two

The ice type and bug type nodded.

May looked back down at her lap and picked up the rose with her right hand, and the half ribbon with her left. she stared at the two items, the rose was given to her by Drew along with the bike, and the ribbon was something she shared with her former traveling companion Ash, when they tied in a contest in terracotta town and split it. she looked at both items carefully, the ribbon was still shinning when she held it up in the light, the rose however was beginning to die

Petalburg city Pokemon Center, 9:01 PM

May sat at the video phone in silence, with the phone being held to her ear with the rings starting.

After a few rings the screen then showed a woman with brown eyes, and short brown hair, she was wearing her gardening cloths, she looked at May with a smile.

"Why hello May!" she said cheerfully "How have you been doing?"

May frowned "Not so well Mrs. Ketchum,"

"Is something wrong?" Delia asked

May looked down at her lap and felt the inedible tears begin.

"May, what happened?" Delia asked with concern

May looked at Delia with watery eyes "M-My parents…They were killed a few days ago,"

Delia gasped and looked at the teenage girl with sadness "I'm so sorry May,"

"The police said that I couldn't travel since the killer might come after me next, they said I would have to find a place to stay," May said as she teared up "And I don't really have any other family so…I was wondering if…if"

"May," Delia said suddenly "You don't have to say it, you are welcome to come stay with us,"

"R-really?"

Delia smiled "Of course, any friend of Ash is practically family in my book,"

May's tears of sadness turned into tears of joy "Oh, thank you Mrs. Ketchum! you have no idea how much this means to me!"

"Its no problem, besides it would be nice to have some more company while Ash is away,"

"Ash isn't home yet?" May asked

"No, he's out in the Kalos region, although he is currently in the Confrence, so he should be home in couple of days,"

"Oh, ok" said May, slightly disappointed

"So when will you be coming?" asked Delia

"Um, I'll be taking the fairy so probably tomorrow night,"

"Ok May, stay safe, I'll bet there at the dock to greet you,"

"Alright, thank you so much Mrs. Ketchum,"

"Oh May please call me Delia"

May smiled "Ok, thank you Delia"
