~ I don't own Pokemon or ANY of the characters!

Plus, this is my first story, so it's not going to be super great.


Chapter One

"Leaf, May, Max." Started Caroline. "You're father has had a fantastic promotion! So.. We're moving.. To Kanto.."

"WHAT?!" Screamed three astonished kids. May was the first to speak. "But mom.. We have a life here! I have a boyfriend, I have friends!"

"Sweetie, I know moving when sixteen can be hard, especially when you have friends. But sometimes we need to make sacrifices." Said Norman, trying to reason with his daughter.

May was about to protest, but Leaf beat her to it. "But you two don't understand! Do you know how much it's going to hurt to say goodbye to friends who you've known for almost ten years! It's not fair.. Especially for May, she and Brandon have been together for nearly 3 months!"

May nodded in agreement as Max shifted his glasses. "Well... I guess moving to a new region won't be so bad. Think about it, Kanto isn't overly warm like Hoenn, Kanto does have the best apprenticeships into going to be a scientist.." May swatted Max over the head, causing his glasses to fall off his head. "Stop thinking about yourself, Max!"

"I'm thinking about MY self? Wake up air head, you're the one who doesn't want dad to have this promotion just so you can stay here with your boyfriend, whose hat looks like his hair!"

May was about to argue back but Norman had enough of arguing between the two. So Caroline had sent each to their rooms to think about the move some more.


May's POV.

As soon as me and Leaf got to our roof, I broke. What am I going to tell Brandon? HOW am I going to tell him? I can't just move! This is absurd. Luckily, I had Leaf to calm me.

"May, even though we are probably going to move to Kanto, it won't all be bad.. We could come back to Hoenn over the summer break! Or Christmas at some point. Plus, after we graduate, we can move back here and you and Brandon will eventually marry and give aunt Leaf some babies!" I had to giggle at the last part, Leaf was always going on about how cute mine and Brandon's children will be like.

I smiled as she wiped my warm tears away. "I guess.. And.. I suppose we should actually be happy for dad about his promotion, huh? If he urns it down, he may never get the opportunity again."

"You're right. And dad is right as well. Sometimes we do have to take sacrifices, no matter how much it pains us to do so." Said Leaf. "Besides, it's a week until we have to move, so in reality, you have plenty of time to tell Brandon, as well as that. I for one suggest, after we have dinner."

I nodded in agreement, I needed Brandon to know and if I wait to long it will just hurt more.. Maybe he will be happy? Sad? Angry? Fuck.

I already know he isn't as interested in me as he was at the beginning of the relationship. So I don't know how he will respond.

Besides, it's less than likely a long term relationship would work with us.


Leaf's POV

I felt bad for May, she was going is leaving behind one of the most important person she has in her heart. Brandon. (Although, I disliked him very much. - Cocky bastard. I respect her decisions though.) I don't know how she can trust him though, Brandon could be nice, but only when May is around. Besides, when me and May plus the group go out to places, he either flirts with other girls, or brings home their phone numbers. I don't know what May sees in him.

Also, I am 99.9% that he kissed Isabelle Von Fischer. After a week when he and May started to date! Man whore.

So, as I said we left the house straight after dinner and went straight to Petalburg park, where me and May told everyone to meet us.

As we walked we could see the sunset. God it was beautiful in Hoenn. Although, could it look like this in other regions? Probably. We all do share the same sun, I guess.

Of course as soon as we met up with everyone, I went over to Brandon and kicked him off the swing. "It's rude to keep a lady standing."

I smiled, while he glared as put on his white-haired-hat thing back onto his head.. And walked straight over to May..


No one's POV

May had cleared her throat but as soon as she was about to speak Brandon went to kiss her, but she had recoiled from his touch.

"Brandon, please. This is important."

Brandon stared at her in disbelief, but shrugged. "And what is it you want to say, babe?"

May sighed, and Leaf looked down at the ground uncomfortably. "We're moving to Kanto." The said in unison. Quick and straight to the point.

Stacey, a girl who had died her hair pink blinked in surprised. "You - You're what?!"

"Moving. To Kanto." Said May, again. "Trust me, it was a big surprise for us too.."

Brandon stumbled backwards a bit, but regained his posture and took May's hands. "May, what will happen with us?" May only shrugged..

"To be honest Brandon, I'm not so sure. Maybe we could try long-term, the if that doesn't work out.." May trailed off her words at the end of

her sentence, not even wanting to suggest that they break up, although, an image flashed into her head that got her really ticked her off...

"But May.." Before Brandon could even say anymore May snatched her hands away, walked straight over to Leaf and grabbed her by the

arm and walked straight out of the park.


May's POV

"What the hell was that, May!?" Shouted Leaf. I should have known that she would be pissed that we didn't give our proper goodbyes, but we have a

week right?

"Leaf, you know I love you, but please shut up and let me do the talking."

Leaf stayed silent like I told her to do. "Think about it Leaf. If we go to Kanto we will probably have a great future a head of us. Great schools, jobs.. People. I know that you are probably thinking 'May, the fuck you talking about? We can have all that here.' But truth be told, I don't want to be here. A fresh start, a clean slate to start the school year. No one will no us and think about Max, he wants the scientist apprenticeship so bad, plus dad has his promotion as well as mom meeting new people. For once, let's do something for them. Let's sacrifice our lives here and do everybody a favor by going."

I could see Leaf's peachy lips turn into a grin. I knew how much going back to Kanto meant to her. I brushed my fingers against my bag and put a strand of loose hair behind my ear. "Time to tell mom and dad our decision." I flashed Leaf a grin and she giggled, letting her dark chocolate-brown hair down, from it's previous pony tail.


As soon as we got home we went straight into the living room and I stood in front of the television. "Mom, dad. I know I was being selfish

earlier. So, when me and Leaf were walking home from the park, we were talking, well - Me mostly, because I told her to shut up... But

anyways, we're happy for you dad, and we think that you should take this opportunity. You may never get this promotion again."

Mom and dad looked up at me and Leaf, and to me, boy did they look surprised at my small outburst. "Are you sure honey? Positive?

Because I only want what is best for you. All of you." I nodded.

"Besides, I guess traveling won't be so bad and it will be nice to get out of Hoenn for a while."

I could see my dads mouth curve into a smile. "That's it settled then. We're moving to Kanto!"


Leaf's POV.

I am actually proud of May. She was so worried about leaving Brandon behind, but then something inside of her snapped when we were at

the park. I'm not stupid. I know when something is up with my sister, even if I am adopted.

I zoned in out of my thoughts, in time for dad shouting that we were going to Kanto! In all honesty, (and between me and you!) I couldn't wait to go back. You see, I was raised in Kanto, before my mom died of cancer, I was only five then. I had no other living

relatives. Luckily, Caroline and Norman had known my mom and decided to adopt me, instead of me going to an orphanage and then

waiting for total strangers to adopt me. Anyways, going back to Kanto, should be great!

Grinning to myself, I grabbed May and brought her into the kitchen, where she went straight to the freezer and grabbed a box of

chocolate ice-cream. I grabbed two spoons and sat down at the table. I waited until May opened the box, before saying anything.


May's POV.

Ice-cream. The perfect healing food, especially when there is gooey chocolate. Just because I looked happy on the outside, doesn't mean I was on the inside..

"May." I looked up at Leaf, she seemed so serious. I hated it when she was like this.

I took a big chunk of ice-cream and put it into my mouth, letting it savor as it melted Mmmm. "Wesh?" That came out perfectly, huh?

I seen that Leaf looked exasperated, so I quickly tried to swallow the ice-cream, without giving myself a brain freeze. God I hate them.

"At the park. Why did you have to walk off like that?" Ah.. I thought she would have asked that.

I only shrugged. "Leaf, me and Brandon know for a fact that we're not going to last. Long term relationships hardly work, unless the couple

are truly dedicated to each other." I sighed and poked at the ice-cream. "Besides, everyone knows he has the hots for the girl who came her

from Johto.. What's her name, again?" I scratched my head trying to think about the girls name.."OH! Kimberly West." I huffed, trying not to

care.

Leaf just looked at me. "Can I be honest with you?" I nodded. "I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to hurt you.. But. Ugh, God

kill me now.. I seen him the other week.. In the nearby restaurant, with a girl. They were snogging and then.. You remember when we went to

the water park over Spring break? Well, when you and Lucy went to get drinks. He groped one girls ass, an slapped the others.. I'm so sorry I

never told you before. You just really liked him!" I know Leaf would never really want to hurt me... But why wait until now to tell me?

"Leaf, I really wished you told me before. And if you were one of friends who just told me after all this time, I probably would have bitch slapped you by now! But you're my sister, adopted or not. I love you." I slowly reached over and hugged her. "Besides, we can have a new

start in Kanto, yeah? Forget all the asses here, and think about who we'll meet there!" I forced a smile, and continued to eat the ice-cream.

This week was going to be a long one.
