Chp. 1
~Flashback~
"And I will see you again, right?" Said the brunette, holding back tears as she held Ash's hand.
"Yes. I can promise you that May!" Replied Ash, and flicked his raven hair out of his eyes. He smashed his cap down on his head, and let go of Mays hand as the boat left.
"Goodbye!" They both yelled, waving.
~Real time~
"May! How many times have I told you? You just can't be late for things like this!" May recoiled at the harsh, heavy Sinnoh accent as her best friend, Constance yelled at her. They were on holiday in Altomare, and they had both been looking forward to the water race for days, but now was the day, and May had overslept.
"Im sorry, Connie!" May said, as her friend tossed her blonde hair. "Please forgive me. I was dreaming about, y'know, him." May made gestures with her hands to show that this was more important then waking up. Connie rolled her fawn coloured eyes.
"Ahhh, the dude you had a crush on when you were travelling together when you were 12, ummm…. What was his name? Dash?" Now was Mays turn to roll her sea-blue eyes.
"Ash! His name was Ash! And I haven't seen him for 6 years, since we were 13. He left on a boat to go travelling, and last I heard he was in Pallet town." May looked down, and saw she had pulled on her jeans from yesterday, and they had a lovely strawberry milkshake stain down them. May groaned.
"I don't care. Anyway, we should get going. You really wanna participate in this one, don't you?" Connie pulled up her yellow tank top, and glanced at her pokewatch. "Eeep!" she cried. "We need to get going!"
"Wow, you're really lucky! We only had one space left! Now, please write your full name, age and also your pok'emon you will be using on this form." May quickly thanked the nurse Joy, and took the sheet to write on. Her hands were sweaty with running all the way to the sign-up desk, and since it was a hot day, she kept dropping the pen. At last, she had wrote down her name: May Birch, her age: 19 and the pok'emon she would be using: Squirtle.
May handed back the sheet to the nurse joy, and she smiled and gestured to a man leaning up against the shack next to the desk. "This is Carl. He will talk you through what you need to do. If you have any problems, please ask him. Thank you for entering!" May nodded, and turned to the 20-ish tall, tanned man.
"Hey there! Im Carl, as you know, over there" He pointed to a large building, which was split in two "Is the changing rooms, ladies on the left. If you don't have a wetsuit, there are some hung up, just turn right when you get inside, and find your size. Once you're done changing, go over there" he pointed to another large building, to the right of the first one "and there you can get a harness and a boat. There should be different sizes of harness, and one should fit, but if there is none, please come find me, and we will sort something out. Okay?"
May staggered at all of the information that had just been pounded into her head, but smiled and headed off in the direction of the shack. She suddenly remembered Connie had been standing there, and turned to her.
"I'll see you later, okay?" May said. Connie shrugged, and smiled.
"Win it for me, 'Kay?" May rolled her eyes again, and smiled.
"Okay!"
May walked into the changing rooms, turned left, and picked out a size 14 wetsuit. "Dang, I need to lose some weight" she said to herself, patting her stomach. "Too many cakes methinks!" She smiled to herself, but heard a familiar laugh coming from somewhere. She spun round, but saw no one.
"Great." She said. "Now Im hearing things." She quickly got changed into the wetsuit, and checked herself in the mirror. She looked pretty sexy in the black-and-purple suit. "Lets do this!" she said.
May walked over to the second shack, and got out a pokeball. "Come on out, squirtle!" she called, and squirtle came out of the pokeball, and appeared in front of her. "Jeez, I only gave you a bath yesterday, and your already filthy!" she exclaimed, rubbing the dark patch of mud on squirtles turquoise head.
"Squirt- squirt- squirtle…" was her pokemon response. May went to roll her eyes, but stopped, as she realised she was getting into the habit of doing it again. Ash had always scolded her lightly for rolling her eyes, saying it was bitchy. May had started rolling again when she was going out with her childhood friend, Drew, but after she had dumped him, she had not lost the habit.
She quickly found the harness she was looking for, and tried to put it on Squirtle. Squirtle dodged to the left a bit, and May growled.
"Please don't start again!" She said, and tried to put it on him again. Squirtle dodged to the right this time, and when May lunged to grab him, she was greeted by a water gun straight to the face. "Oww!" she cried like a baby. "That hurt!" A short laugh came from behind her. She turned.
"Hey, miss me?" came the voice.
"EEEEEHHHHHH!" came Mays voice.
