a/n: So for the most part this fanfiction is going to be how I imagine May coming back would be like it. Just keep in mind that it IS fanfiction. I think if it were a real few episodes, it would be a lot less flashier, and May wouldn't know how to do mega evolution, etc.
Aaand this isn't an advanceshipping fanfic, if that's what you thought it was. The biggest advanceshipping you're getting is a hug. xD For real though, this is mostly Contestshipping with some of Amourshipping ( Serena getting jealous wink wink ). So you know, Drew's going to make an appearence since it's contestshipping. And there may or may not be a love triangle between Drew, May, and Clemont later on... ;) ~
Also keep in mind that the characters are all a little older here, except for Bonnie. Bonnie's the perfect age in the anime at the moment so i'm not changing it.
One more thing. If you want to know what the song is like, just search "Watashi Makenai!" on youtube and you'll find it!
"Ladies and gentleman, it's who you've all been waiting for since the start of this live show. This fiery brunette has competed in contests in several regions, including Hoenn, Johto, and Sinnoh. that's right, it's May Maple!"
A rather enthusiastic announcer greeted the crowd, which seemed to be packed with people waiting to see the famous brunette. The announcer then bowed moving out of the way for the main 'attraction.' There wasn't even a second of silence before music started to play.
"Staaaage! On!" A somewhat feminine sounding voice started, the whole stadium going dark before lights pointed to her. The girl had brunette hair that had you wondering how much hair gel she used. Part of her hair was tied up in a pink ribbon. She was wearing a glittery two piece dress. The skirt part of the dress was like a tutu, white the top part was more of a tube part. To go with the tube top, there were white sleeves that looked detached from the top. She also wore pink ribbony heals that wrapped around her ankles. Lastly, there was a scrunchie-looking bracelet on her left wrist with a mega stone attached to it.
While the music played, the brunette struck a pose, adding a wink for added effect. "Minna! I hope you all didn't wait long!" May shouted, the headset on her head echoing her voice so the whole stadium could hear.
"May! May! May!" The whole stadium was cheering for her, clearly excited to hear her sing.
May smiled at the crowd cheering for her. When she was 10 she would never imagined having a life like. "I hope you're all excited to see Blaziken again!" May shouted, before taking off one of the pokeballs on her belt. She then threw it in the air, Blaziken coming out and landing on the stage in a flurry of stars before striking a pose.
It wasn't even a heartbeat before May started to sing the lyrics to the current song playing.
"Raito wo abiruto suicchi ga hairu~" May smiled while singing, winking when a soft "Let's go!" was heard in the background.
"Jishin ga hanbun hanbun wa fuan, kamo~" The crowd started clapping to the beat, Blaziken and May performing twirls as partners, as if there werent even a difference of pokemon and human between the two.
~Meanwhile~
"Come on Ash, we're missing her!" A honey blonde girl whined, dragging ash behind her as they hurried to a stadium entrance. Behind them followed Bonnie and Clemont. Bonnie was whining about her brother being slow as always.
Serena pushed open the door as she let go of Ash, bursting into the hall and then hurrying to the actual stadium area. They could hear the music playing faintly inside the auditorium. "Hurry up you guys!" Serena shouted, before pushing open the door. The music became MUCH much more louder at that point.
"Calm down Serena-" Ash followed after, with Clemont slowly following behind them and Bonnie trying to make her brother go faster.
Ash paused in surprised at the somewhat... familiar sounding voice.
"Wataashi makenai~! Moodo Zenkai!" Ash could of sworn he had heard this song in some form before. Which was completely impossible, because he didn't listen to typical pop songs at all.
"Oh good, we're in time for the special finale!" Serena let out a sigh of relief, glad that she wouldn't miss the most important part of a typical peformance from May.
"Sou karaa wa nai yume nante nai hazu dakara
itsuka naritai touki koodineetaa~" May glanced at Blaziken, nodding at him that it was almost time for the special end.
"Special finale?" Clemont asked tiredly. He was completely out of breath after being forced by Bonnie to go faster.
Serena nodded. "Mmhm! She does this totally amazing thing with Blaziken at the end!" Serena chirped, watching May with stars in her eyes. The blonde clearly admired May, almost like she admired Aria. And that was saying something!
Ash looked at the Blaziken. It really did seem like he knew May. That name sounded so familiar, along with him remembering her voice. He even recognized that Blaziken somewhat.
Music played in the background, but there were no lyrics to sing at the moment. "The last chorus is coming up, minna! You know what that means!" May shouted, and the crowd gave a long cheer. Yup, they knew exactly what that means.
"Blaziken, let's give it your all for our fans!" May shouted, raising her left arm as a light shone. "Mega evolution!"
Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie all gasped in amazement, watching as May's Blaziken transformed into it's mega form. "Blaziken! Overheat!" May yelled, music still playing in the background.
"Blaaaaziken!" Blaziken shouted as it performed overheat, spinning so that it surrounded the two in a firey circle. The two continued to dance for the music afterwards, before May began singing again as if the heat hadn't effected her at all.
"Wataashi makenai~! Honki Moodo Zenkai!" May smiled, performing small twirls and such along with her singing.
"Ahhh, it really is the best!" Serena squealed, almost like a fangirl.
"Wow, this May girl is really amazing. Along with all this perfoming, she can even mega evolve with Blaziken!" Clearly, Clemont was impressed. Bonnie was equally impressed, but tilted her head in confusion. "Doesn't she get tired after all this?" Bonnie asked.
"I know, she's amazing isn't she? I really hope I can get on her level when it comes to endurance at one point in my perfomances!" Serena nodded, agreeing with Bonnie. Ash, meanwhile, was uncharacteristically silent. He was currently wracking his brain for memory of the girl on stage.
"Dakara raibaru wo makenai jibun jishin ni kitto naru..." May ended, performing a small bow as the song continued to play for a few moments longer before ending. Blaziken also returned to his original form. The two could only keep up mega evolution for so long.
May smiled at the sound of cheers for her. She raised her arms, a wide open smile appearing on her face. "Minnaaaa! Thank you so much~!"
"Now I remember!" Ash suddenly shouted admist his silence. The three turned to ash in surprise. "Remember what, Ash?" Serena asked after calming down from surpirse.
"Where I know her from!" Serena blinked...then blinked again...and then blinked once more. Ash knew her!? Had they been in a relationship before? Was he her girlfriend? Did they kiss? Oh gosh, this was killing her and she only just found out!
"Ehhh!? Doesn't that mean you knew someone who was famous!" Bonnie interrupted Serena before she, unfortunately, had the chance to ask Ash HOW he knew May.
Ash rubbed the back of his head in slight nervousness and slight confusion. "Well, she wasn't really... famous when I knew her. She DID perform like this... kind of, but that was only in Hoenn. Then she went to Johto with Drew-"
Drew!? Oh god, please let him be May's boyfriend her something, Serena prayed in her mind.
"And then a year, maybe two, I met her in Sinnoh. She was... kinda famous I guess. But not for stuff like this." Ash said, ending his explained. "It's been, say, 2 or 3 years since then? She must of gotten famous between that time." Ash nodded to himself, thinking that made sense. But he still didn't know how he had gotten famous.
"Plus I remember that song... although not with the music. Just the lyrics. I heard her sing it before." Ash finalized.
'She isung/i to him!? It really is over, they have to of at least KISSED or something! May's singing voice is beautiful afterall, it's impossible not to be attracted to her after hearing it!' Serena thought. Yup... she was definitely overthinking. But that's what you do when you're a girl in love.
"Goodbye everyone!" May's shout interrupted their conversation, and everyone but Serena (who was to busy thinking about Ash's and May's relationship ) looked over at the stage. May had called back her Blaziken and was leaving the stage, waving while doing so.
The crowd, meanwhile, was STILL cheering for her. "Wow, she really gathered a fanbase." Clemont muttered, pushing up his glasses as they mysteriously shined. Bonnie rolled her eyes at her brother. How embarassing.
"Maaaay!" May could hear as she exited backstage. She quickly untied her hair, hurrying into the dressing room. If she didn't hurry, she would NEVER be able to escape her fans. She quickly took of her perfomance outfit, changing into a pair of jeans a purple t-shirt. She then slipped on some red sneakers, tucking her hair under a black cap and finishing the look with fake red glasses. No one would be able to tell it was her! Unless you were a close friend of course.
She exited her room, grabbing her fanny pack and tightening it around her waist. "Thanks for the hard work, May!" She heard has she rounded the corner. Presumably just a staff member, who always thanked her for the hard work. Seriously, no matter which stadium she was always thanked. It was appreciated, but hearing it so many times get's tiring.
She exited through the back door, noting the fans patiently waiting for 'May' to come out. This disguise really came in handy! She let out a small sigh of relief at the fact that there werent too many fans just yet. Any more and she would definitely be recognized.
"May!" May paused in shock at the sound of a voice that seemed familiar. She turned her head in fear, nervously smiling. Wait a minute- that person in the distance looks-
"Ah- crap-" May paused as her cap blew off her hat. Curse you, stupid wind! The fans immediately started to cheer at the sight of her. "H-Hi~" May waved, before running off as her fans took after her.
"Why does this only happen to meeeeeeeeeeeee!?" May cried as she ran.
~ with ash and co~
"May!"
Serena blinked before slapping her hand on Ash's mouth. "Ash, you idiot!" Serena cried, the group watching as the fans recognized her. Serena lowed her hand with a sigh. "What, what i'd do?" Ash blinked, completely oblivious to the situation. Serena facepalmed. "They're gonna recognize her if you just shout her name like that."
"O-oh... well we might as well follow right?" Ash replied with a nervous smile. Serena rolled her eyes, wondering how she had feel in love this at the moment idiot.
