-Chapter One-

IT WAS ON SNOOZE THIS WHOLE TIME!?

May's POV

LITTLEROOT TOWN

A town that can't be shaded any hue.

Johto to Hoenn. Dad was the new gym leader of Petalburg.

I was headed for Littleroot town. A new place and a fresh start. New town. New house. New people. New Pokemon. New adventure!

My eyes had gotten so used to the dark that when the early morning light struck me, I could've sworn I had gone blind. The van's doors opened and a whole new world was ready to take on. However it was a very tough ride! I glanced outside at the lush grass and colorful flowers. This would definitely be something to remember. Mom was already out and unpacking, whereas I was still looking around from the back of the van. I took a deep breath and stepped outside. New adventure...

I took yet another moment to take it all in. The grass, the trees, the flowers, the air and the whole atmosphere. It was out of this world! "May!" Mom called. "Come on in, the house is amazing!" she laughed.

"Coming, Mom," I said, nodding.

MAY'S HOUSE

I hurried into my new house, and just like Mom had told me: amazing! "Wow," I muttered quietly to myself.

"This is our new place. Whilst your father is at the gym, I'll be relaxing here," she laughed quietly. "And as for you," she said, making her way towards me. She smiled and kissed me on my forehead.

I giggled.

"You'll be out conquering the world! Pokemon await you, honey!"

"Yeah! And I'll be Hoenn's best Pokemon Trainer! No, I'll be the world's best Pokemon Trainer!" I laughed.

"But you've gotta beat your old man first," Mom laughed, pulling away. "Your father sure is a toughie!"

I smiled. "But I'm sure I'll will!" I said, my hands on my hips.

"Oh May, you are so much like your Dad when he was little," Mom laughed quietly.

I laughed. " I guess we Pokemon fans are all alike!"

"So, where are our boxes? Shouldn't we be unpacking?" I asked.

"Right there!" Mom pointed to the doors as two strong muscular creatures entered.

"Oh wow!" I said. "My first Pokemon sighting in Hoenn!"

"Yep. Machoke movers. Brilliant, huh?" Mom said.

I nodded my head, watching in amazement as the two Machokes carried in our boxes.

"May sweetie, why don't you go and say hello to our neighbors whilst these guys do there job?"

"Huh?" I turned around to Mom. "We have new neighbors as well?"

"Yep. It's your fathers friend. Professor Birch and his wife. They even have a child about your age... uhh... what's the name?" she muttered to herself.

"Great! New people!" I said enthusiastically.

Brendan's POV

BRENDAN'S ROOM

Ugh! My alarm had gone off like 20 times already! I thought I could've sworn I turned it off an hour ago! I literally had no other choice. I had to actually wake up. What a pain. I tossed around in bed and got a hold of the alarm clock. "WHAT!? IT WAS ON SNOOZE THIS WHOLE TIME!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" I exclaimed, almost falling out of the sheets. No, I didn't almost fall out, I did. I hit the floor, face-down. Wow. Nice going, Brendan. Nice start to the day...

I yawned loudly, finally turning off the alarm for good. I placed it back onto my desk, stretching my arms whilst I did. "Good morning Littleroot," I mumbled. Then it struck me. "NEW PEOPLE!" I yelled, darting up off the ground. I fixed my sheets and made my bed, falling a few times during the process. I picked up my various Pokemon stuffed animals scattered across the floor, stuffing them in a cupboard to keep them hidden(I could not be seen playing with stuffed animals like a little girl). I stacked a few cushions by the side of my room and closed all my drawers, stuffing in pretty much anything else I found lying around on the ground. "Phew! My room is at least partially clean," I muttered.

New people were moving in this morning, and I knew that they'd come visit us. I couldn't be seen living in a dump like my room. Yes, my room was a dump. Anyone who saw me like that would think I was a tramp. Especiallllllllly if it was a girl. I wouldn't be much of a man if I had Pokemon dolls lying around... he he he... AGHHHH! I'M STILL IN MY PJ'S! NOOOOOOOOO!

May's POV

PROFESSOR'S BIRCH'S HOUSE

I took a deep breath. "Good first impression, May. This is Dad's friend we're talking about," I mumbled to myself. I inhaled once more as I knocked on the door of the house. Professor Birch. He's like father of Pokemon knowledge! I can't screw this one up!

I waited for a moment however there was no answer. Oh no, were they ignoring me or something!? NOOO! TERRIBL- Calm down, May. Just chill. They wouldn't do that! I knocked once more and that time someone answered.

"Come in, the door's open," A lady's voice called from the inside.

I entered the house to see a middle-aged lady with brown hair tied up into a bun standing by her television, a phone in her hand. "Oh, why hello! You must be the new girl from next door! You're family just moved in, am I correct?"

I nodded my head. "Yes. My father is Norman, Petalburg gym leader. It's a pleasure to meet you," I said with a smile. PHEW! I'M DOING GOOD!

"Oh what a polite little sweatheart!" she laughed. "I'm terribly sorry for not answering the door. My husband just called."

"Professor Birch?" I asked.

"Yes. He's always out and about on the fields, gathering Pokemon information."

"That's amazing!" I gasped in awe.

"Are you a Pokemon fan as well?" she asked.

"Of course I am!" I said. "I love Pokemon!"

She laughed quietly. "You're just like our son! You should go up and meet him. I'm sure he'll be eager to meet someone as enthusiastic as you."

"Really? Okay," I said, already making my way.

"It was nice to meet you," she called from down the stairs.

"You too," I said, smiling.

AGH! BOY! GREAT! IT'S A BOY! WHY A BOY? I'M SUCH A KLUTZ WHEN IT COMES TO SPEAKING TO BOYS! UGH! I'M GONNA MESS THIS UP! I MUST'VE SEEMED SO CALM AND COLLECTED TO HER, BUT TO HIM I'LL BE A TOTAL IDIOT! I CAN JUST TELL! NOOOOO!

Sorry. Excuse my stupidity. Brace yourself, May!

I finally reached the boy's bedroom door up the stairs. The door was painted a dark blue with loads of pictures of Pokemon stuck all around it. A Pikachu, Raichu and Pichu poster was hung up at the very top, surrounded by a few Pokeball ornaments. I guess he really did like Pokemon as much as I always did. What did I expect from the son of a Pokemon professor?

I took yet another deep breath and knocked on the door. "Huh? Who is it?" a deep voice asked from behind the door.

"Oh-uh-um-I-I'm the new girl from next door. I just moved in," I muttered like an idiot.

"Oh, it's you. Come in," he said, charming me by just his voice... what?

I opened the door and entered reluctantly. "Umm..." I mumbled, stepping forward. "Hell-" I froze in only a second at the sight of the boys face...

Perfect. That's all I could say. Just perfect. I didn't know what was so amazing about it, he was just... woah... His cute white hat of some sort perfectly fit around his brown hair, dark enough to be mistaken for black. His eyes were hard to define. A grayish-bluey-brown at the looks of it. But that was what made them sparkle in a way... What was happening? What was this feeling? I-I-I-couldn't explain...

"H-hello," I managed.

"Hey, I'm Brendan," he introduced, bouncing up off his seat. Brendan... what an amazing name... He shook my hand, smiling widely. Just his touch made me-was it-blush? I think... "You're Norman's daughter, huh?"

I nodded. "Yeah," I said. I didn't know what to do next...

"Umm... what's your name?"

"Oh yeah right! My name! Ha ha ha!" I laughed like an idiot again. "My name is May. It's nice to meet you," I said, smiling. Phew. I was regaining my cool. "Guess we both have Pokemon lover dads," I laughed.

"Yep. Dad's always researching about tons of different Pokemon," Brendan said as he sighed.

"You okay?" I said, tilting my head a little to see his face again.

"Huh?" he snapped out of his daze. "Yup. I'm good. It's just I barely get time to be around him..."

"I know what you mean," I muttered. "When Dad's at work I almost never get to talk with him. We're pretty alike," I laughed.

He smiled at me and his face lit up.

"And I heard you love Pokemon," I said to continue the conversation. "And I can tell because of your awesome room!" I laughed, looking to see many more posters and merchandise.

"Love them! I mean, I still haven't got any of my own..."

"Me neither," I muttered. "But when I do own some of my own, I swear I'll be the best Pokemon Trainer there ever was!" I laughed.

Brendan smiled. "Anyways, I was just going to head out to catch up with my Dad since I have nothing better to do. Wanna come along?" he asked.

I froze still. He's inviting me to go with him!? WHAT!? "Oh-uh-um-sure, I'd love to come along," I said.

"Great! Let's go, then!"

Brendan's POV

May... that was a pretty name... it just made me feel weird... different in some way... a good way... I didn't know what that meant... Light brown hair and shining blue eyes... perfect... I shook off the thought. May and I made our way out of the house, waving goodbye to Mom as we left. She had taken a liking towards May... was that good? Meh.

We finally got out into the warm and...uh... airy air of Littleroot Town. I don't know, okay. "So, Route 101?" May asked.

I nodded my head. "Perfect for doing fieldwork."

May's POV

ROUTE 101

Perfect for doing fieldwork.

My first time out of Littleroot on foot. This would be an adventure... Brendan and I made our way out of the town to see a mad wild Pokemon chasing some man. "WHAT THE PIKA IS GOING ON!?" Brendan exclaimed.

"Is that..." I muttered.

"DAD!?" Brendan yelled in horror.

"Professor Birch!" I rushed over to help him but the wild Pokemon was blocking my way. "Hey! Get out of my way!" I commanded. The Pokemon didn't listen.

"That's a Poochyena, right?" Brendan asked, still freaking out.

"Yes! Help me! Grab one of those Pokeballs from my bag!" Professor Birch yelled.

I nodded immediately. "Don't worry, Professor!"

"Yeah, Dad! I'll help you out too!" Brendan said, nodding his head. He ran up to his fathers bag.

"Uhhh..." he muttered, taking a look at the Pokeballs.

"We gotta be quick," I said, picking up the first Pokeball I saw, whilst Brendan still sat, thinking about which Pokemon to choose. "Brendan!" I called.

He looked up. "H-huh? Oh, right!" he grabbed a Pokeball from the bag.

I nodded my head. "Alright, come on..." I whispered, and out came a... chick!? A red and orange chick with yellow wings? Must've been fire type... I couldn't complain at this Pokemon, I had to work with what I had. "Okay! Let's go!"

"Pokeball, go!" Brendan called, and out from his Pokeball came a small blue fish Pokemon? "Let's go, May!" he called.

I nodded.

"Hmm... use..." I froze. "A move?" I laughed sheepishly. "I don't know this Pokemon's moves!" I complained.

"Ember!" cried professor Birch.

I nodded. "Use Ember!" I commanded.

"And use Water Gun!" Brendan yelled. "Yep. I've done my research," he said proudly.

The chick and fish Pokemon both landed there attack on the wild Poochyena, but he fought back with a bite, which was much stronger than any of our moves. "Come on! Again! Ember!" I called. The Pokemon screeched in fury as it let out another burst of fire, this time much more powerful. I laughed, smiling. "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Come on, you as well! If this is gonna work out, we're the best Pokemon Team ever, right?" Brendan told his Pokemon, jealous of my Pokemon's utter awesomeness! His Pokemon nodded, blasting out another splash onto the ground. "Yes! Now, aim it at the Poochyena! Same time as and them!" he commanded.

"Oh, what an idiot! I laughed.

"Hey hey, what did you say?" Brendan asked furiously.

"Water puts out fire, why are you landing your attack at the same time as me?" I asked.

"I-oh-oh yeah... I TOTALLY KNEW THAT!" he said, folding his arms.

I giggled quietly as I continued to help out my Pokemon.

The battle finally came to an end after a while the wild Poochyena backed off. "Dad!" Brendan yelled, running up to his father.

"Professor Birch!" I called afterwards.

"You okay?" Brendan asked.

"Yup. I'm fine thanks to you," he said, sitting up straight. "Thank you so much for helping me!" He continued to thank as he dusted off his clothing. I stood up, giving Professor Birch a hand. "Oh, how polite," he said as he stood up. "Thank you."

"No problem," I said, smiling.

"Are you Norman's little girl?" he asked.

I nodded. "Yeah. I'm May," I introduced.

"Well it is very nice to meet you. Your father is quite an excellent man when it comes to Pokemon," he laughed. "Anyways, in thanks for saving me, I'll let you two keep theese Pokemon," he said.

"Seriously!?" we exclaimed in unison.

"Awesome!" I cheered as my Pokemon jumped into my hands. I giggled quietly as I petted its head. It was actually pretty cute!

"Great!" Brendan said, picking up his Pokemon as well.

"That's Mudkip," Professor Birch said. "And that," he turned to me. "Is Torchic."

"Torchic?" I mumbled. "What an adorable name!" I giggled.

"Torchic sticks with its Trainer, following behind with unsteady steps. This Pokemon breathes fire of over 1,800 degrees F, including fireballs that leave the foe scorched black," Professor Birch informed. "The fin on Mudkip's head acts as highly sensitive radar. Using this fin to sense movements of water and air, this Pokemon can determine what is taking place around it without using its eyes," he continued, turning to Mudkip and Brendan.

"Wow!" I said in a daze as I examined my Pokemon. "This is amazing!"

"And I suppose you'll be starting your Pokemon journey," Professor Birch said.

I nodded my head. "Of course I am! Brendan?" I asked, turning towards the boy.

"You bet I am!" He shouted, holding Mudkip's Pokeball up in the air.

"Than I better give you two some Pokemon Trainer tips, right?" Professor Birch asked.

We nodded. "Great! You two should pack up for your journey first, however. Meet me on Route 103."

"Yes, Professor. And thank you! I can't wait for my journey to begin!" I laughed happily.

Brendan's POV

LITTLEROOT TOWN

A town that can't be shaded any hue.

May and I made out way back to Littleroot together, admiring our Mudkip and Torchic the whole way. "So, we're actually doing this..." May mumbled. "MY POKEMON ADVENTURE IS BEGINNING!" she exclaimed.

I nodded and smiled. "Yep! And... uhh... May," I turned to May and froze. "Let's make it a promise, okay..."

"Huh?" she asked.

"We always have to be at the top. We have to promise that we'll be the best Pokemon trainers the world has ever seen, right?"

She nodded, giggling quietly. "Of course."

"Okay, so, let's get packing for our journey, right?" I said.

"Yeah! And I've gotta let my Mom know about all this! Dad's gonna be super excited for me!" May laughed.

I nodded my head. "I'll see you in a bit, kay?"

"Sure. Meet you at Route 103."

BRENDAN'S HOUSE

I entered my house, Mudkip in my hands. "This is it, Mudkip. Home,"I whispered. Mom stood by the door and immediately gasped at the sight of Mudkip in my hands.

"Brendan, who's this?" she asked, petting his tiny head.

"Mom, this is Mudkip! Dad gave me him! I'm going to start my Pokemon journey!" I announced.

"Honey, that's amazing!" she kneeled down a little and kissed my forehead. I rubbed it off and laughed.

"Mom!" I complained.

"Oh, my little sweetie's all grown up now, huh?" she said.

I nodded. "Now I'll be out exploring the world with my Pokemon!"

"And I know you'll always be safe with your Pokemon at your side. Good luck sweetheart!"

I smiled. "Anyways, I gotta go pack before I get going!" I remembered.

"Alright, hurry upstairs now, honey," Mom said, her smile still remaining.

I rushed up the stairs and hurriedly entered my room. I tossed my bag on my bed and held Mudkip and his Pokeball tight in my hand. "Let's do this, Mudkip! We're going to be the best team there ever was!" I laughed.

"Bloop bloop blooo!" Mudkip exclaimed, jumping up and down in my hands.

I placed him down onto the large bed besides his Pokeball and my bag. "Yep... let's do this!"

May's POV

MAY'S HOUSE

I made my way into my house, clutching onto Torchic as I did. "Mom? You there?" I asked.

"Oh hello honey. Wh-oh!" she exclaimed at the sight of the cute little Pokemon.

"This is Torchic, Mom! I'm going on a Pokemon adventure! Professor Birch gave him to me!"

"Huh-oh-wow! Only 20 minutes away from home and your already starting your Pokemon journey! How wonderful!"

"I think I'm leaving today... I'll miss you!"

"Oh, sweetie, I'll miss you too. I'll always be with you. I'm rooting for you all the way!" she laughed, kissing my head.

I smiled. "I'll be upstairs, kay?"

"Alright then, May."

As I went upstairs, the excitement continued to grow. I placed Torchic down onto my bed, kneeling down to his level. "Torchic buddy, this is the start of something new. We're gonna make it count, right?"

Torchic chirped happily.

"Let's get packing!"

ROUTE 103

Beautiful coastlines perfect for fishing enthusiasts.

Route 103. Beautiful was the only thing I could say. This whole place was beautiful! I held Torchic tightly in my hand, I found it better than keeping him in his Pokeball the whole time. I found Brendan finally, and he was doing the same with his Mudkip. "Hey, Brendan," I said, waving.

"May! There you are! My Dad's waiting!" he called.

I rushed up to them, petting Torchic along the way. "I'm here!"

"Great! Let's begin!" Professor Birch began.

After a few tips and tricks and wild Pokemon battles, Professor Birch was finally finished. "And that's basically it! The Pokemon world awaits you!"

"Thank you, Professor. I guess we should be going, right?" I asked.

"NO!" Brendan shouted.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Slow your roll, what is it!?" I said, calming him down.

"C-can I..." he froze still.

"Brendan?" I said, waving my hand in front of his face.

"I want to battle you!" he announced.

"Battle!?" I said, jumping up a little.

"A battle!" Professor Birch announced. "Let it begin!"

Brendan's POV

My first Pokemon battle with a real trainer! Against May! "Go! Mudkip!" I yelled as Mudkip jumped forward.

May smiled. "Let's go! I choose you, Torchic!" Torchic jumped forward, chirping in anticipation.

"May, you do know that Mudkip is a water type, right?" Dad chimed in. "He'll crush a fire type like Torchic!"

"Not on my watch!" May laughed. Wow... her enthusiasm really was entertaining...

"Enough chat!" I said.

She nodded. "Right! Torchic, Flamethrower!" she commanded.

"You found out Torchic's moves, eh?" Dad asked, clearly impressed.

She nodded. "I did my research," she laughed.

Torchic ran forward, a huge burst of flames shooting out of him, much stronger than the Ember move he used earlier.

"Mudkip! Avoid it! Use Scald, quick!" I yelled, Mudkip shooting boiling hot water out of his mouth.

"Whoa! Quick, avoid it, Torchic!" May said, her eyes widening. Torchic tried to avoid the attack, however Mudkip wouldn't quit spraying out water. Torchic fell to it's feet, whimpering. "Torchic! Come on!" May shouted. "We can't quit now!" Torchic nodded, chirping loudly with all its strength. "Use Scratch!"

Torchic leapt forward, landing his attack on Mudkip. Mudkip fell to the ground. "No! Mudkip! Get up, come on!"

"Again, Torchic! Scratch!" May commanded. Torchic continued to scratch at Mudkip, getting stronger every time. Eventually, Mudkip had no more strength to battle...

"And Mudkip is unable to battle!" Dad announced. "May is the winner!" he cheered.

"Yes! Great work, Torchic!" May laughed joyfully.

"Oh no... well done for trying, Mudkip!" I congratulated, picking up the injured little guy.

"How spectacular! On the first try as well! May you are a very talented girl!" Dad said, smiling.

"Oh, thank you, Professor," May said, grinning widely. "Great battle, Brendan! I hope we can do it again soon!" she giggled.

I smiled. "You sure are talented. Great battle. I'll always remember it!"

She nodded her head. "I will too! And this pond... it's rather beautiful, don't you think?" May turned around slowly to a small glistening pond, surrounded by lush grass and dazzling flowers. Pokemon flew and scurried around it like it was there home... it was beautiful... "A moment to remember, don't ya think?" she said.

I nodded. "Yeah... I'll remember this for sure..." I mumbled, lost in a daze...

No doubt about it now. I'm certain of it... I like this girl... and nothing can change that now...

May's POV

A battle never to forget! "Alright, shall we go back to my lab? You need some key items for becoming a trainer!" Professor Birch asked.

I nodded. "Yeah! I can't wait to begin!"

LITTLEROOT TOWN

A town that can't be shaded any hue.

Brendan, his dad and I arrived back at Littleroot. Professor Birch led us to his Pokemon Lab.

PROFESSOR BIRCH'S POKEMON LAB

Just as I expected, when I entered, I was in shock! It was awesome! There was super high-tech gadgets lying around and pictures of unseen Pokemon everywhere! It was amazing! "Wow, Professor, this is amazing!" I muttered, twirling around to admire everything around me.

"This is where my resarch takes place," he said. "Brendan loves being nosy with my work, however!" he chuckled.

Brendan laughed sheepishly. "He he... what are you saying? He he he..."

I giggled.

"Anyways, I would like to give you two something," Professor Birch said, leading us to his desk...

"Here," he said, handing us some weird red devices.

"WOAH!" Brendan exclaimed, examining his device.

"Uhh... what are theese, Professor?" I asked.

"You don't know, May?" Brendan asked.

I laughed nervously. "He he... not really..."

"May, this is a Pokedex. It is used to record the different information of Pokemon all over the world! You can use it to catch 'em all!" he laughed.

"Catch them all! Yeah!" I giggled.

"But you need something else in order to catch all those Pokemon," Professor Birch mumbled. "Lemme see..." He searched around in one of the drawers beside him. "Ah! Found it!" He picked up a few Pokeballs from his desk drawer.

"Pokeballs!" I said as he handed me a bunch.

"Thanks, Dad," Brendan said, inspecting the Pokeballs.

"Oh, and of course the DexNav! This will help you analyse the Pokemon in the area. And the Pokemon hiding in the wild," Professor explained, handing us yet another item.

"Thanks again," we laughed in unison.

"No problem you two. With theese, you're sure to become great trainers!"

"And I will!" Brendan laughed.

"And me too!" I added, smiling. "We both will! It's a promise!"

Brendan nodded. "Promise!"

"And I guess that's it... you two are ready to start your journey!"

"And... should we..." Brendan whispered.

"We'll go together!" I said.

He smiled. "Yeah! Because... we're friends now, right?"

"Right." I smiled at him. "We're friends now..."

Everything was packed. Brendan was waiting for me at the entrance to Littleroot. Mom was cheering me on. Mr and Miss Birch were waving goodbye. Torchic was flaming up.

This was going to be an adventure to remember... a new adventure...

And that's Chapter One for you! I hope that you enjoyed it! And there shall be more where that came from! May and Brendannn! I would really appreciate reviews, pllleeeaasse! See ya in the next chapter! Byeeee! ;D
