FuryOfArceus here. Without much talk, here is the second chapter.

CHAPTER 2

Imagine yourself sleeping on the floor with temperature as low as -40 degree Celsius. Even with the heaters in close proximity, you would feel like a freshly prepared Basking Robbins at the same temperature.

"BRRR..."said Ash who was freezing even when the heaters were on. It seemed that all the heat was flowing towards May and not him. May, however noticed this and beckoned him towards her. Ash reluctantly agreed.

"It has been a long time since we met."said Ash.

"Sure has. Even while travelling, there was nobody who could encourage me to do well- Not even Drew could do that."said May.

Drew, his number 1 rival since Gary and Paul with whom he had come to terms after the latter's defeat by Ash in the semifinals. He never liked his attitude and always felt like thrashing him to death whenever he brought a rose for May.

Thrashing to death... The Ketchum boy is jealous, jealous, jealous. A voice started singing to Ash.

Am not. said Ash to the voice.

Ooohhh... Which means that you will allow Drew and May to marry instead of you and the latter? The voice sang in a sarcastic voice.

Never for Arceus ' s sake. May would be in great trouble if it ever happened. I would never forgive myself.said Ash. After a moment, he realised that he was trapped. Great... This proves that I, Ash Ketchum have feelings for my best friend, the most nicest girl on Earth- May Norman Maple 'Haruka'.

So was it too difficult to confess, Ketchum? If you are planning to make a move on her, make it ASAP. Neither I nor you would want Drew to get May, would you?

Never, Never, NEVER. I will tell her tomorrow OK? If I tell her now, she would think that I have just recently broken up with someone and is in desperate need of a girlfriend.

OK. As your wish Ketchum.

When Ash completed his conversation with his 'conscience', as one would call it, he noticed that May was glancing at him anxiously. "Ash, are you OK? You kind of zoned out for a moment."

"Nothing to worry about May. I was remembering our journeys through Hoenn and as far as I recollect, it was the best journey which I ever had with anyone- Cause the Princess of Hoenn was travelling with me."said Ash.

Naturally, May would be embarrassed to hear that title but, for the first time, she felt truly happy."Thanks Ash. You are the best travelling partner I ever had."said May, who felt like she was blushing.

Thanks to lack of lighting, even Ash blushed and he knew that even May was.

"Guess we should sleep now- it's already 12."said Ash reluctantly.

"Yeah."said May.

Both slept close to each other, imaintaining maximum permissible contact for teenagers.

"Good Night Princess."said Ash.

"Same to you, my Pokemon Master. " Said May.

10 kms from Route 1

"It won't take much time to reach Pallet Town and surprise May. Ketchum ' s face would be watchable at that point of time."said ?

And that's the end of Chapter 2. Watch out for the next.

R&R. Peace out.
