Together again
I do not own Pokémon
In this story Ash and May are fourteen.
Ash has returned from another one of his leagues. Once again, he didn't win but come pretty close. Now he was at home, resting up a bit before trying the indigo league again. He sat on the couch in the living room watching TV while Pikachu slept on his lap he rubbed his buddy behind the ears as he slept. After a while he too dozed off, so he didn't notice when a soft knock was heard on the door to his house. Delia opened it. Before her stood a girl with brown hair, blue eyes and a green bandana.
"Hi. Is this the Ketchum residence?" she asked shyly.
"Yes. Are you one of Ash's friends?"
"Yes. I was one of his travel companions",
"Oh so you must be May. Ash has told me all about you",
May blushed slightly.
"He has?"
"Yeah. He said that you're kind and sweet and that you make him laugh",
May's blush intensified.
"That's a surprise", she said softly. Surprised to find out he was more observant than she thought.
"I'm sorry?" asked Delia.
"Oh nothing. May I come in?"
"Of course dear", said the women and stepped aside allowing the girl to enter their home.
May looked forward and saw her old friend asleep on the couch. It was nice to see him unwind for once. She approached him hovered over him.
"Rise and shine lazybones…" she said cheerfully. Ash snorted in his sleep.
"Five more minutes Mom…" he muttered.
"Really? Would your mom do this?" she asked and leaned forward to place a small kiss on his cheek. As soon her lips touched his face Ash's eyes zapped open. He looked at her in shock as she giggled.
"Hi Ash", she said cheerfully.
"May, what are you doing here?" he asked, dumbfounded by her appearance.
"Well thanks for the welcome party…" she said sarcastically. Ash shook his head.
"I'm sorry I'm just a little surprised that's all. It's good to see you", he said and brought her into a hug. She returned the sentiment.
"It's good to see you too Ash", she said and sat down beside him.
"How've you been?" she asked.
"I've been alright. I just came back from the Kalos league",
"Did you win?"
"Almost",
"What do you mean almost?"
"I was the runner up",
"The runner up? That's fantastic! That's my friend!" she cheered.
Ash chuckled.
"Thanks for the cheering May. I'll win it next time",
"I'm sure you will. I have faith in you. Always have", she said and smiled. He smiled too.
"So what brings you to Kanto May?" he asked and she blushed. She played with her fingers nervously.
"Well, I heard you wanted to try the indigo league again and I heard they have coordinator contests so I thought I'd team up with you again", she said shyly.
Ash smiled.
"You mean you want to travel again?"
May blushed and nodded.
"Yes",
"I'd love to", said Ash.
"You would?"
"Of course I would. How could I pass up an opportunity to travel with you again? You're my best friend",
She smiled broadly and looked at him.
"What?" he asked.
"Oh I was just thinking, about how nice you are…" he said and he smiled too.
After a long silence May spoke.
"You want to go get some ice cream? My treat" she said and he smiled again.
"Sure", he said and got up and they left Ash's house and on towards the local ice cream parlor where they enjoyed some ice cold beverages and vanilla ice cream. That night May slept in Ash's house (in a separate room), knowing that tomorrow they would be together again on a quest. Only this time, they will be alone…
To be continued…
So I think for once I will combine adventure with the romance in this one so we'll see where it goes. Anyway I hope you like it.
Reviews are most welcome…
