Hello friends! Thanks to all the people who reviewed my other story (all 2 of you). I will update that in a

few days.

Since that story was Ash/May, I decided to make a Brendan/May. And this is it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.

"Brendan Birch is defeated! May Maple is the new Hoenn champion!"

Those words were heard over and over again in Brendan's head. He walked down the road to his

house, which seemed to be getting longer and longer as he walked. He couldn't believe it. Just two hours

ago, he had been the Hoenn league champion. Then, an hour later, all of his fame and glory had been

snatched from him like falling leaves snatched out of the air. May had crushed him, beat him without

ever trying. She had humiliated him so badly, he didn't know if he would ever battle again. But the fact

that he had lost didn't bother him that much. It was the fact that the one person in the world he truly

cared about would do something like that to him. He was now the laughingstock of the town.

Everywhere he went he was no longer known as "the guy who was champion for a while", but "the guy

who got his ass kicked by May"

Brendan had no idea May could be so cruel. In their time together, he had come to know her as a

sweet caring girl who liked Pokemon. But after the battle, he knew their relationship would never be the

same. Even his family mocked him, now that everyone else did too. He had nowhere else to go.

He walked up the stairs to his room, trying to blink away tears as he heard his mom call him.

"Hey loser, dinner is in ten minutes"

With that remark, he ran to his room and jumped onto his bed, sobbing into his pillow. His first

Pokemon, Swampert, popped out of its Pokeball, trying to comfort its trainer.

"It's not your fault, Swampert" Brendan said, still sniffing. "I just don't know how she could do

this to me."

Swampert nodded.

"She was my best friend. My only friend, even. I loved her, and she humiliated me like a peace

of trash!"

Swampert nodded.

"Now look at me. I'm a loser, a miserable failure. Not even my family likes me. I can imagine

what May's feeling right now."

Another nod.

"I've got nothing left for me here, so I might as well..." he trailed off as his dad entered the

room.

"Hey loser, dinner's ready, and...what are you doing?" his dad asked as Brendan walked out

onto the balcony, looking up at the stars.

"I won't be coming for dinner, dad" Brendan said quietly.

"Why not?" his dad asked, confused.

"Dad, if you see May, tell her congratulations from me, that I wanted to say goodbye, and that I love her." Brendan said.

His dad nodded, still confused, as he walked out the door.

"Maybe my place is elsewhere." Brendan said softly, as Mr. Birch closed the door.

MEANWHILE:

"Congratulations, May!" Everyone at the Maple residence was laughing and drinking as May's

victory was celebrated.

"Thank you everyone!" May said, a great smile on her face. "Brendan Birch never stood a

chance!"

"May honey, I'm happy for you, but don't you think you were a little harsh on Brendan during

the battle?" May's mom asked.

"Mom!" May said, annoyed.

"Well at least go explain to him why you did what you did."

"Fine" May slipped out the door when no one was looking, and headed next door to the Birch

residence.

Brendan's dad opened the door. "Hi Mr. Birch. Is Brendan there?" May asked.

Mr. Birch's face fell. "May, come with me" he said sternly, and lead her into Brendan's room.

"Is Brendan in here?" May asked.

"He was" Brendan's father said sadly.

"Well, where is he now?" May asked, annoyed. She was missing her party!

"Look out on the balcony" Mr. Birch instructed.

May headed over to the balcony, and looked down. She gasped.

"Brendan" she said.

"I had no idea he was really going to do it" Mr. Birch said.

"Brendan" she repeated, shocked.

"He wanted me to tell you congratulations, goodbye, and that he loves you"

At the last three words that came out of Mr. Birch's mouth, May collapsed to the ground,

sobbing.

Two years later, May is still the champion. She has not lost once. Everyday, after her battles, she

visits Brendan's grave. There, she cries for him, praying to get another chance, to right the wrongs she

did, and to say sorry to Brendan Birch, the only person she ever loved.
