Chapter 1:
It was nearing the end of an afternoon in Petalburg City at least 4:00 to be exact; it was early in the summer so the sun was still high in the sky. A 15 year old brunette girl with a red bandana and red shirt with biking shorts and a mini skirt to cover them, who we know as May, entered her bedroom after running out on an errand. The room was 15 by 15 feet with a 5 by 6 break away for a small bathroom situated in the top right corner of the room. Caroline was also running out on errands and Max tagged along with her, and Norman was out of town so May was the only one in the house. May let her fanny pack down on her bed and took out a small packet that she had purchased at a music store and went to her closet; other then clothing inside, there stood an Ibanez S5470 Prestige electric guitar with a satin oil finish on a beautifully shaped mahogany body; but it had the second (B) string missing which she had broken a week prior. There were two other guitars inside the closet, a black sunburst Fender Stratocaster with a rosewood fret board, and a Soviet built guitar with the name Aelita-2 that had 3 pickups, a two 3-way selector, and a tremolo system on an oddly shaped body with a blue plastic pick guard. May had been playing a guitar before starting her journey as a Pokémon Coordinator, so she was almost at an expert level; after a few minutes of fumbling to get the string into the Ibanez's locking tremolo and some tuning, she plugged it in to an amplifier began to play a slow rock solo. The phone rang; since May was the only one in the house at the time there was no one else to answer. She put the guitar back on its stand and turned off the amplifier then picked up the phone that was located at her computer desk.
"Hello, who is this?"
The voice of Drew came over the phone. "Hi May."
"Oh hi Drew," she said, "what's going on?"
"Nothing much," Drew replied, "hey, ummm… would you like to go out?"
"You mean like right now?" she asked.
"Yes"
"Well ok," she agreed, "I'll meet you out side the Pokémon center after dinner, uhhh… I'll meet you at 6:00"
"Alright May." Said Drew before hanging up.
A day later, Ash along with Brock came to Petalburg City to visit May since Ash had completed the Sinnoh League and Dawn had left to follow her own path. Ash logged. "I'm glad that I'm able to see May again, it's been a long time since the last time I've seen her but something doesn't seen quite right, she seems to be walking slower then before and it looks like she's staggering at little bit. She also refuses to sit down for some odd reason too. I hope nothing is seriously wrong with her, I'd hate to see her suffer."
Ash and Brock settled themselves down in the family room there they found the opportunity to gossip with Caroline and Max who they haven't seen for the longest time. Max was at the legal age to be a trainer and already was but hadn't started off on his own journey. "So how was the Sinnoh league?" Max asked.
"I was doing great," Ash replied, "until the last round where I was defeated by some trainer with a Garchomp."
"That's too bad." Said Caroline.
"I've just got to keep on training and I'll get better." Added Ash.
Caroline turned around and called out.
"Hey May, why don't you come out and see your friends?"
"I'll be out in a second!"
May emerged from her room still wearing a red shirt, a red bandana, some black biking shorts, and a white skirt. "Hey Ash, what's up Brock?"
"Oh not much," Brock replied, "We just came to visit after Ash completed the Sinnoh league."
"Did he win?" May asked.
"I lost in the last round." Ash repeated.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." She said walking up closer.
"Why don't you sit down and we can talk about what's happened?" Ash suggested.
May looked worried. "Uhhh… no I think I'll stand."
Ash was puzzled. "I insist that you sit down."
"No, no," May said again, "I'm very comfortable standing."
"Ash you don't have to force her to sit down." Brock stated
"I guess so," Ash sighed "sorry May."
"It's alright." She replied sweetly.
Caroline stood up and walked away from the three chatting friends.
"Why don't you go out at walk around the city? Then you two can talk to May about you're adventures." Caroline Suggested.
"Ok mom." May said, and walked over to the front door.
Ash gave May a look; it seemed like she was swaying from side to side she walked. "Where will we be going?" he asked.
"Why would that be important?" May answered, opening the door and stepping out.
Ash was confused but followed on and stepped outside; so did Brock.
"I'll be heading out too, to get some supplies." he said.
"And flirt with random women." May added, jokingly.
Brock glared at May then walked off down to the streets; there wasn't very many people on the streets, at least a minimum of 10 people could be seen.
"I guess Brock doesn't like to talk about it anymore." May observed.
"He's starting to learn to control his actions." Ash added and started his way down the stairs.
May followed after Ash but she still seemed a bit shaky when she walked around.
"May?" Ash asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," May said, "umm…. Do you want to take a walk around the forest?"
Ash smiled. "Sure May." Then he made his way to the forest path.
