Chapter 1

"Pikachu, VOLT TACKLE!" a confident voice yelled.

"Pika pika pika…..PIKA PIKA PIKACHUU"

There was a boom in the area. Wallace's milotic fainted from the power of the electric mouse. Pikachu, still stood up, panting and absorbing the recoil damage from the volt tackle it just did. The crowd cheered and Pikachu ran to its owner. The owner let the little mouse climb up on his shoulder and they did a victory dance and pose. The owner, Ash Ketchum, had messy jet black hair with a red and black cap with a green pokeball symbol.

Wallace, the hoenn champion bowed down with respect and announced, "I now announce you as 'HOENN'S NEW CHAMPION'!" They shook hands and Ash gestured to Wallace. Wallace gave a confused look but bent down to hover his ear to ash's mouth. Wallace nodded and said, "Mr Ash Ketchum, Hoenn's champion, decided that he would now travel to new regions starting fresh. He would like me to be substituting for his title, until he returns."

Ash turned and smiled to the audience. The girls screamed with heart shaped eyes. At the camera he winked and the girls watching on tv screamed at home because they couldn't afford to be at the area. A certain someone was particularly watching him and her eyes were of awe, respect, and sadness. Her name was May Maple. A simple and normally peppy girl who wore a tight red shirt with biker shorts and a white skirt topped off with a red bandana with a white pokeball symbol. Her eyes were sapphire blue and had light coffee colored brown hair.

May's point of view

"He's so cute and handsome. I wonder what region he's going next. He started in Kanto, then Hoenn…Is he going to Johto, Sinnoh, or maybe Unova? Rumors said that he's thinking of going to Johto." I sighed.

"May, bed time!" my mom called out. I puffed a heavier sigh and said, "After I call Dawn!"

I ran to my computer and video called Dawn. A blunette picked up and had a confused look on her face because it was past her bedtime too.

"Hey May, whats up?" she asked.

"Dawn, did you see Ash Ketchum battle Wallace? The Wallace, the top pokemon co-ordinator and Champion of Hoenn?" I asked.

Dawn chuckled and said, "Of course! Are you still having that little crush on Ash? You know he's a celebrity right? And girls are probably fangirling and attacking him. He's gonna be a dead man ahahah."

"I know, I know. I'm gonna visit you in Sinnoh and let's begin a pokemon journey together yeah? " I said, rather irritated.

"May, you aren't thinking of stalking and following Ash if he chooses to go to Sinnoh right?" Dawn laughed. I turned a beet red.

"No! He's probably not going to Sinnoh anyways because it has weird pokemon there." I teased. Dawn shot a glare at me. I backed off and not daring to go any further because who knows what Dawn would do if I make fun of her home region.

"Well, either way, did you know that Ash only likes pokemon trainers and not pokemon co-ordinators? And that he likes the color blue? It was rumored that he dated Misty, the Cerulean Gym leader from Kanto, his home region. They went out for like 2 weeks or something but she called it off because she needed to focus on being gym leader at Cerulean and he chose to move on to go to Hoenn." Dawn said.

My heart dropped. I like red, im a pokemon co-ordinator, and I'm just a simple girl. I'm not rich, nor smart, nor famous. My face saddened and Dawn noticed.

"Oh but no need to worry! I'm sure those rumors could be fake!" my best friend said as she tried to cheer me up. I sighed.

"Ok, well it's like 11 right now. You should go to sleep. Sorry for bothering you. I'll come over tomorrow. Bye!" I faked a smile and hung up. I changed into my pajamas and threw myself on the bed. Falling asleep and dreaming about him….

May's dream

I was walking down the Sinnoh path to Twinleaf Town where Dawn lives when a thunderbolt hit the sky. Looking up, I gasped at the power of electricity. Turning to a meowth hot air balloon, I made a confused face. It had a yellow little mouse captured with a man of blue or violet hair, a woman with red long hair that curved, and a little cat from Kanto. A meowth. I squinted and saw the little mouse shocking the capsule as much as it can. My eyes widened as it was Ash's Pikachu.

"CHARIZARD, FLAMETHROWER!" a voice demanded.

A powerful blaze shot up at the hot air balloon and it bursted, Pikachu falling down. I ran to the hot air balloon to catch Pikachu. He fell in my arms and I held him close. As the hot air balloon collapsed and fell, smoke covered the air. I ducked and covered my head.

"Team rocket's blasting off again! –ding-"

"Hey thanks for catching my Pikachu." I looked up and saw the handsomest face in the whole pokemon world. I stood up.

"U-um y-yeah nn-n-no problem. I'm May Maple, from Petalburg city in Hoenn." I stuttered. I blushed and turned a tomato red.

"I'm Ash from Pallet Town!" He smiled but then said cutely, "So…can I have my Pikachu back?"

I snapped out of thought and quickly handed Pikachu back. I blushed and said, "You're the Hoenn champion…I saw you on tv! You were umm a-amazing!"

He laughed and said, "yeah that was something. The whole world probably saw that battle. Wallace is really something."

I nodded and said, "Ok, my friend is probably wondering where I am. I should go." I turned and started walking toward the road again.

"Hey May, since you saved my Pikachu, how about I invite you and your friend to go get some dinner tonight?" Ash called out.

I turned and smiled. "Sur-"

Dream abruptly ends~

RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING

I shook my head and shot a death look at my alarm clock. I slammed it hard. How dare it interrupt my dream with Ash!

I got up and showered, changed into my normal red clothing with a bandana. I took my yellow fanny pack and clipped it on my waist. I made sure my pokeballs were in there just in case if someone tried to mug me. I ran downstairs and said, "Mom, im gonna go with Dawn for a little short journey in Sinnoh okay?

My mom gave me a strange look but agreed. She knew I was a big girl and I could take care of myself. I even went on a journey by myself but I had to stop shortly because my dad said I had to go home and take care of the gym while he was visiting a friend. Besides, Dawn and I always slept over and stayed for a week or so. Sometimes even a month! I took my bike and sped out the garage.

Off to Sinnoh!

-Pokemon unbeatable theme song plays- lololol

I sighed and saw the Starly chirp. I took a short boat ride there. Dashing off when the boat arrived at Sinnoh, I kept peddling to the nearest town, Twinleaf, aka my destination.

I saw a little cute house and place my bike near the gate. I knocked on the door and a older blunette opened the door. She smiled and said, "Hi May! Dawn's getting eating breakfast right now. Please come in and make yourself at home."

"Thanks Johanna!" I smiled and walked in.

"Hi May!" Dawn greeted and then continued eating her eggs and bacon. I sat down next to her and said "Good morning Dawn. Are you ready to start today's journey?

"Yup! Lets go as soon as I finish breakfast and get my bag. It's all set." She replied.

She finished a couple minutes after and we started blabbing about where to go. Just when we walked out of her house, there were 2 people and a meowth running for their lives with a capsule that absorbed electricity with a Pikachu inside it. They cackled and ran.

"Team Rocket come back!"

I thought, "That voice…it cant be!" My eyes widened as he ran after Team Rocket. He puffed and stopped at Dawn's house. He said, "Look I'm sorry but I need to borrow your bike for a while ok? I'll give it back to you."

He hopped on my bike and sped. I screamed, "Hey that's my bike! Come back here!"

Dawn said, "Come on, let's go after them!" I nodded and we ran after Ash who had a distance between us.
