Hi everyone, this is my very first fanfic for this site, I have been a member for a while but I decided it was time for me to write my own story about Pokémon.
Read, review, and of course, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon at all
Within Attraction
Chapter 1
The day was rainy, the only sound filling the air was that made by the raindrops falling onto the ground, not even wild Pokémon could be heard, this made a beautiful portrait since the sun was still shining, not being afraid of the rain.
The beautiful picture didn't pass unadvertised for a group of travelers caught by the rain, hiding desperately under the trees. A young raven-haired boy was boring, since he liked to keep moving and nonstop, complaining about the rain not finishing soon, of course, not everyone shared the same idea; a young brunette girl was awed by the beautiful scenario in front of her eyes, the effect of the weak sunrays passing through the raindrops created the most impressive display of colors, which was even enough to make the toughest man smile.
The other two members of the "team" were admiring the spectacle too. A boy around his twenties and a kid were enjoying the rain. The three of them were so busy trying to see everything in front of their eyes that they just completely ignored the complaints from certain trainer.
The fact of HIM being ignored by his friends made the trainer feel frustrated, but there was nothing he could do other than waiting for the rain to stop, for his fortune and others' misfortune, the rain was slowly fading and the beautiful colors were leaving with it.
While the young Pokémon lover called Ash was busy with his inner struggle about losing time because of a "stupid" colored rain, a certain coordinator that responded by the name of May was in her own business, with her mind full of ideas that popped-up every instant. Many things were circling her mind at the time, things like her clothing not being fashionable enough, her next contest, the perfect recipe for poké-blocks and even about this night's dinner, but there was one thing that appeared constantly, distracting her from her other ideas, ASH.
-Wow, it would be so nice to be alone with him in moments like this, forget about my brother or Brock, I just want to spend some more time with Ash, talk to him, laugh with him and enjoy our time together but, it's not only a selfish desire, I need that time to really know what is this thing I've been feeling lately, to discover why his face appears so constantly in my dreams, in my thoughts. –The girl said to herself
That was the real problem for the girl, the contests didn't seem so important for her right now, confusion, curiosity and a little of fear were like needles hurting her heart each second passed.
But the funny thing was that the cause for all her troubles and doubts was completely unaware of the girl's dilemma he was oblivious of the situation and was only worried for his next destination on his apparently never-ending travel to become a master of Pokémon.
-At last, this rain is over, we can finally continue or travel, the Pokémon master wannabe said.
-You are impossible right? –The coordinator said- cant´ you just rest a little and enjoy the sight with us? You just witnessed a very rare spectacle and did nothing but complain like a little kid.
A very serious look was firing from the girl's eyes; this made our favorite trainer flinch a little, but opted to defend his point in his usual nonchalant way.
-What? I'm not saying that was not beautiful or rare but you lady are missing the point here, we are not traveling for fun or for the joy of meeting new places, we are here because we have dreams to accomplish, and the faster we get to gyms and contest halls the faster we get them.
-Yes we have dreams and those dreams are the reason for us to travel bu,t you can't just act like a kid wanting to go to the toy store, patience is very important sir without it you are not getting anything and more important we lost only like an hour and what did you want? To get soaking wet by the rain and then catch a cold? You are like a little kid like Max!
She was furious, for some reason she was getting this kind of "anger attacks" very often and the victim was commonly Ash.
-Calm down a little May you are making a situation of this, it's not that important you know –Ash stated.
-What in the world did you just say?, you said we were wasting your precious time a moment ago and now you say it's not very important? I had enough of you and your dumb nonchalant attitude!
Yes, our hero just committed a mistake like making May angry…again.
-May! -Her little brother yelled- yes you are right Ash is a bit pushy sometimes but you are just -acting like crazy, calm.
-Yes May relax a little, there is no real reason to be mad at Ash he is just impatient that's all, he was not trying to be rude or anything –at last, the older and wisest member of the team spoke, bringing the so wanted peace they were craving for.
-Sorry May I didn't mean to upset you I know I can be like this sometimes but it's not on purpose, c'mon May.
The naïve trainer didn't know exactly what to say but it seemed to work pretty well, at least for the moment, they knew a return of angry May in a close future was very possible.
Hours passed since the incident, they set up their camp around a little fire and were waiting for Brock to cook his delicious after-rain soup, yes, he had a special soup for rainy days like this one. Max was just drawing on the soil with a branch he found but the couple we are interested in was having a little I'm-sorry-for-being-like-this talk.
-Wow I can be very annoying at times right? –the brunette coordinator said with a little sadness in her tone.
-Don't worry May, we all have times when we just want everyone to leave us alone, it's normal – The boy said with his now comforting voice.
-But I was so rude and and…
-C'mon May, we are friends, even the best friends have moments like this, there is nothing to be worried about, look I'm not mad at you or anything.
-But I just yelled at you like crazy, even called you little kid, I feel so bad will you forgive me?
-How many times I have to tell you, there is nothing to be sorry or worried about, is very normal to have an argue with your friends, and don't feel guilty, I was the one who started it all in first place.
-Really? Is it ok now?
-Completely! Friends again?
-Totally!
That way the problem was gone as fast as it came, but that didn't mean the girl's inner turbulence was over, every time the trainer talked to her in his comforting manner and offered his trademark smile, she felt like… well she didn't know it for sure but she surely wanted to know what it was.
-Come on guys, let's eat my delicious soup for rainy days it will make us great since it's kind of cold out here –the almost a professional chef said.
-Yay! –everyone yelled in unison
After a delicious meal they decided to go to sleep, there was not much to do in the middle of the forest at night so, that seemed like the best option. But our young coordinator didn't feel like sleeping right now.
-What can I do? Every time I see him in the yes, every time he talks to me, every time he comforts me and supports me I feel this weird feeling inside my chest I hurts but feels good at the same time, am I going insane? Am I just sick? Or is it…..
The idea struck her like a bullet, she just decided to stop thinking about the boy and tried to go to sleep, thing that would be easier to say than actually do.
But she was not the only one having a little of insomnia, the Pokémon trainer was having an inner talk with himself about certain brunette girl.
-What's wrong with her? She's been so sensitive these days but she won't tell me, maybe it is very personal or embarrassing for her to say, would it be that thing, how was it called? PSM, MSP, SPM mmm, or maybe she is in trouble, TROUBLE?, what if she's being threatened by some bully? Mmm, what if Drew said something that really hurt her? That little arrogant lizard when I see him he is going to know… but what if is something bigger? What if she is being chased by this international gang of delinquents for a secret she has to keep? I have to do something, maybe that secret…what could it be? The ultimate guide to train Pokémon?, A secret to be the best coordinator ever?, Or even greater, what if she holds the secret for human race survival or world's fate? Damn it could be everything.
It seems like our hero just lost sense and started a storm from a glass of water.
After an insomnia night, May and Ash just were like zombies, the only thing missing was that hunger for human flesh or the urge for brains, but nothing fresh water and a toothbrush couldn't fix.
-Hehe, bad night? –the trainer asked
-Horrible, -the girl answered- I couldn't sleep at all, my mind was so busy thinking about this thing that, when I realized, the sun was starting to rise.
-Tell me, I had a very similar situation here, those ideas came like storm in my mind, I didn't sleep at all.
The two friends laughed since they found funny the fact they stayed the night awake thinking, what they didn't know is that they were thinking of each other, yet.
-So May, anything important came at night?
-Maybe, I'm not sure but it was very helpful, my head has been a mess these days; I just don't know what else to do.
-Hey, same here, I've been thinking of this problem of a friend of mine, I just don't know what to do about it.
A friend of his? Is he worried about me? Wow, but wait, I'm not his only friend, but he has seen me acting different lately… - a million ideas came from the girl's mind but fur her fortune, her guesses were right.
Since it was very early in the morning they kept on talking for a couple of hours, until they fell asleep together, it was a pretty picture of both and made their traveling companions smile at the sight.
Hope you liked it, next part coming as soon as possible, Review!
