It has been six months since Team Rocket and Team Galactic formed an alliance and took over the world. And now Ash Ketchum has died trying to protect his friends. This caused the ultimate loss for our planet. And now, everyone is at the will of the alliance, until someone decides to stop them. This is what May Maple thought.
May sat in her room, mourning over one of her best friend's death.
'Its been six months and I'm still crying,' she thought.
"May, supper's ready," her mom, Caroline, called.
"I'll be down in a minute," she called back, getting off her bed.
She made her way downstairs to the kitchen and to her seat.
"Are you alright dear?" her mom asked, looking concerned.
"I'll be fine, its just..." she paused, remembering Ash and all the great times they had together. She then burst into tears.
"Norman, Max, I'm going to go talk with May," she said,"Come on dear," she told May.
May followed, brushing away the rest of her tears. Caroline lead her daughter to her room. She opened the door sat her down on the bed and she then followed suit.
"May, do you mind telling me what's wrong?" she asked her daughter.
"It's just that I-I miss H-him," she said between sobs.
"Him?" Caroline asked confused a bit.
"Ash," she said softly, in an almost whisper. She knew to just say his name would result in pain for her.
"Honey, we all miss him and there's nothing we can do about it," she replied, still very concerned for her daughter.
"I-I guess you're right," May said wiping away her tears.
"You come down when you want, ok sweetie," she told her.
"Ok," May responded.
May's mom left and she sat and thought. After an hour or so thinking, she made her way downstairs. But instead of the kitchen, she went to the living room and sat on the couch. She found the remote to the TV and flipped through the channels. Eventually, she fell asleep, deep in thought on the day Ash risked his life to save the rest of their's. Her dreams were also of that day.They were in a stone, veil building. A pokemon battlefield was in the center of the room they were in. Ash was on the side closest to her, Brock, Max, and Dawn.Giovanni was on the other side. The two wer having a fierce battle.
"Go!" Ash shouted.
"No, Ash we won't leave you!"Brock shouted back.
"Go now, I'll finish him!" he yelled, glaring at Giovanni.
"You won't lay a scratch on me!"Giovanni yelled from across the field.
"We'll see about that," Ash said.
"Come on, May, we have to go," Brock said, grabbing her arm,"Ash can handle it."
"No, no I can't,"she protested.She fought back, but it was no use.They got out of the building and after getting near few hundred feet away, they heard an explosion. May turned to see it was the building that had exploded.
"No," she whispered.
After a few minutes and no sign of Ash, she began to sob, and sp did Dawn. Brock and Max looked greatly shocked.
"I'm sure he made it out," he kept reasurring himself.
Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy, and backup arrived Brock was to shocked to flirt and May just hoped they would find Ash. Afer an hour of searching, they found no one. Not Giovanni or Ash.She then awoke to her mother's voice.
"May," her mother whispered," May, there's someone at the door for you."
"Who?" she asked, not knowing who would even come this late.
"I'm not really sure," she answered.
May then got up and walked to the door, since she had fallen asleep in her every-day clothes. She opened the door and a hooded figure stood before her. All she could see was some black hair and his blue-jeans. Her mother had come along and stood behind her.
"Who are you?" May asked the hooded man.
" I believe you already know me if you can remember, May," he answered.
She noticed something familiar about the voice, but couldn't put her finger on it.
She then asked,"Ho do you know my name?"
"Like I said, we've met before," he answered,"Oh, I forgot," he said, pulling something from his pocket. He held it up to her and then said,"Maybe this will jog you're memory."He was holdin a half-ribbon. The metal on it was gold and the ribbon was red with a white line to the side.
Immedeatily May knew who it was.
"Ash," she whispered.
He pulled down his hood and Ash Ketchum stood before her. She ran up to him and hugged him tightly. At first he was a bit shocked, but soon returned the hug.
"Ash I missed you so much," she said crying tears of joy.
"I missed you too, May," he said,smiling.
May eventually let go and then asked,"But how di..."
Ash cut her off," I'll explain later, but one answer to that question would be this: I can't leave my friends behind, no matter what."
"Ok, but what happened that caused you not to see any of us after six months?" she questioned.
"Well, all of Team Rocket and Galactic are looking for me just incase I'm alive, so its pretty hard to get around," he answered.
May then realized they had been outside the whole time. She then asked," You want to come in, I doubt mom will mind?" " And I think Max would love it if you stayed, that way he'd be able to ask you millions of questions in the morning."
"Mom you don't mind do you?" she asked, not turning to face her mother.
"Mom?" she repeated, turning around to see her mother wasn't there.
"Uh,May?" Ash looked uncertain, yet smiling.
"Yes, Ash?"
"Look down," he answered.
She did so, and there on the ground behind her, asleep, was her mom. After seeing her, she sighed. "Great," she said with sarcasim.
"I'll carry her to her room," Ash volunteered,"You'll just need to show me were her room is," he said, picking her up.
"You sure?" she asked.
"Positive," he answered simply.
"Alright, if you say so,"she said,"Her room is this way,"she told him, beginning to lead him to her mom and dad's room.She lead him down the hall by the stairs,and to the first door on the right.She opened it and they went in.Inside, Ash got a glimpse of the room. Across the room was a king-sized bed for two, with Norman fast asleep on the right side. And on either side of the bed was a nightstand, each having a few photos on them. May then pulled back the white and blue striped comforter and the two of them lied Caroline down on the left side of the bed.The two then left without a sound.
Once Ash closed the door, she whispered,"Follow me,"and started out of the hall. She took him out the hall, up the stairs, and into the second door on the left. Once inside, Ash could see the roiom completely. It had a single bed with a teal-blue comforter. On the left side of the bed, was awood-finished nightstand with three drawers. On top of the nightstand was a lamp. The lamp was like a post, with leaves carved into it. The shade of it was pyramid-like, with four sides. On the opposite wall of the bed was a small table with a medium-sized TV on top of it. On the wall to the right was a door leading to the closet, and a wood-finished dresser beside it.
"This is the guest room," May told him,"You can stay here for now."
"Thanks, May," he said.
May smiled and said," No problem, Ash."
She then went to her room after they said their goodnights. May lied in bed, trying hard to sleep, but could not. She felt something wasn't right. She then thought she might know what to do. She got up from her bed and went out the door. She then went to Ash's room. She quietly opened the door and poked her head inside.
"Ash, are you awake?" she asked into the darkness.
"Yeah," he answered from where the bed was," I couldn't sleep.
"Me neither," she said," Well, I came to ask, d-do you mind if we share the bed?" she asked. Ashe looked shocked, as if he were suddenly twenty years older all of a sudden." Just for tonight," May added quickly slightly blushing by now.
"I-I don't mind, but wouldn't your parents be suspicious or something like that?" he asked.
"I doubt it," she answered," Worst case scenario: Max walks in while we're still asleep and finds us in the same bed," she smiled, holding a giggle wanting to escape her mouth.
"Yeah," Ash chuckled," I can jist imagine him getting a camera for the occasion."
They were both now laughing. Eventually, they stopped and May moved toward the bed, while Ash moved over. May lied down, and her head ended up on his arm, which was still draped across her pillow.
"Sorry," she said, sitting up.
"Its fine," he said," I don't mind."
"O-ok," she stammered, lying back down on his arm, blushing. After lying down for a few minutes, May found lying on Ash's arm was rather... comfortable. Soon, she heard soft snores coming from Ash. She looked at him.
'He looks so peaceful,' she thought. She then put her other arm over his black t-shirt, and eventually fell asleep herself. Her dreams this time, were going to be peaceful and joyful.
