Chapter 1 – Friends right?
"MAY! NO!" I screamed, Skarmory beside me flapped its wings eager for me to get atop.
She had gone to the sky pillar, and had unexpectedly befriended Rayquaza and used mega evolution to stop the meteor, but now she plummeted to the earth, an endless sea of doom below her, Yes the aqua suit was capable of anything, but that was the suit! Her body would melt inside and the force of hitting the water would defiantly kill her, above her raged a battle between the sky serpent and the alien life form Deoxys. "SWELLOW! CATCH HER!" Brendan himself had noticed the falling May and he shook me "WHAT ARE YOU DOING STEVEN! SEND SKARMORY OUT" He pleaded. I shook myself out of the trance and nodded to Skarmory who set off at double the speed of Swellow. We couldn't do anything else, we had sent the fastest members of our team to try to catch her – but we had to hope for her.
"BRENDAN!" A voice cried from behind us, it was Professor Birch "Thank goodness you are alright! - where's May?" He asked uncertainly. Brendan sunk to his knees, tears streaming down his face and he pointed towards the ocean. I turned around again to see a humongous splash that has arose from the impact. My eyes widened "The ocean" Brendan replied now looking at the ground. Norman and June ; May's parents ran out from behind Prof. birch who he himself had frozen. "All okay then Birch?" Norman questioned – he saw our faces and followed my eyes to the Ocean. He backed away "No… No" he started to whisper the smile dropping from his face. June looked at him concerned "Hunny?" She asked him.
May Sapphire was dead.
A few weeks later they had sent out a body retrieval team, mainly because the fight between the two ledgendaries had only settled down by then. But they came back empty handed, Either both the body and the aqua suit had burned up from the drop through the atmosphere or the currents had drifted the body somewhere far far away. She did however have a memorial service – one that the entire of Hoenn had come too. Myself an the elite four stood at the front along with her parents and Brendan's family. Zinna too was here with her Whismur but she has concealed herself away from all the commotion. Even Archie and Maxie has showed up with their most trusted partners Matt and Shelly among others.
The most terrifying thing was that everyone was silent – the entire of Hoenn was silent. Not a single baby cried, not a single person weeped because they were being strong for their saviour. "May Sapphire was a charming girl" I has barely noticed my father go up to the podium. But his voice rung out throughout the church. Rustboro had never been so crowded "I may not have known her long enough to tell you much about her – but she was one of the most bravest trainers to ever set foot in Hoenn" he continued "She took the risk and saved the world from this meteorite but at the cost of her own life" he finished before stepping down from the podium. He walked towards me and put his hand on my shoulder "My boy, now is the time to express your feelings you knew May better then anybody but her parents – and they Are too distraught to speak so please…."My father mr Stone asked me.
"May was the most extraordinary trainer that I had ever met; she met me in a cave on Dewford – she was delivering a message to me from my father. But even before I had battles with her I could sense her bond with her Mudkip" I begun I felt every pair of eyes now glued to me "The next time I met her was when she had travelled over to east Hoenn, where she fought alongside me against team aqua to protect Latios and Latias it was there that Latias joined her and I gave her the mega bracelet, her team was strong, A Gallade; A Gardevoir,A Swampert,A Bagon,Pikachu and Metang" I explained "She had somehow managed to obtain this white beauty as a Beldum and had grown a bond with it, afterwords we met fighting team aqua and finally she reached me at the Pokemon league – she had caught the ledgendary pokemon Kyogre, but trusted her pokemon and did not use the kyogre at all" I took a deep breath, I had never been good at speeches…
"She fought me and won and it was then that I knew I had watched this.. The bond between Pokemon and person I had watched it grow between May and her pokemon" I finished.
"May was truly an amazing girl and a saviour to all, now may we have our minute of silence in her favour" I asked politely siting back in my seat next to Wallace. The silence echoed in the church and I thought about my adventure with the girl.
The girl I had loved, the bane of my existence, the once thing that had been ripped out of my soul and torn into pieces – my love May Sapphire.
