DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POKEMON! –Sigh-
7 Years Ago
All it took was courage and bravery for Brendan Birch to win the heart of young May Maple, or so it seems. It happened a long time ago. May and Brendan knew each other since kids. He was six and she was four. He took care of her and taught her everything there is about Pokemon even though she was terrified about Pokemon. And he always gave her candy. Everything was fine until one day; they were playing tag when May fell into a bush filled with thorns and twisted her ankle. And to make matters worse, she had woken a huge Salamence. The angered creature roared at May who couldn't make a run for it. She started crying in fear when it was about to use Dragon Flame. Brendan who froze for a few seconds pushed the heavy Salamence, [And it was heavy mind you] tackling it to the floor. The Salamence gave Brendan a big scratch before fleeing. May who only could watch helplessly from the sidelines was confused and scared. She didn't understand why Brendan saved her life risking his own and was worried if he was okay. Brendan hobbled to May.
"Are you okay, May? Did it hurt you?"
"No Brendan, I'm fine. But you're face! It's bleeding!"
"May, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I should hav-"
On that moment, Brendan passed out on her lap leaving May screaming for help. Hours later, Norman and Caroline went searching for May, only to find her cuddling near the pale Brendan to keep him warm. Both of them survived. [Obviously] From that day onwards, they were inseparable. Thing were looking good. He always took care of her and made sure she arrived home safely Caroline and Norman were grateful that May had her own Guardian Angel looking out for her. In fact, her parents were so grateful that he could come for dinner everyday if he wanted to. One day, May and Brendan met under a Cherry Blossom tree.
"I love you, May"
"You do? Umm... I-I love y-you too. I always loved you"
"You did?"
"Y-yea. Hey Brendan, promise me something will you?"
"Sure, anything at all."
"Promise you will never leave me."
"I promise May" His smile spread across his face made her blush.
"Oh wait here for a second!"
Brendan dashed into his house for a few minutes and came back panting.
"Let's get married!" [It's a kid thing and not a real marriage thingy, kays]
"Huh?"
"May, will you marry me?"
"Yea, Ok!" May stared at Brendan who searched his pockets anxiously and finally pulled out a silver ring with a plastic sapphire gem in the middle. He slipped it on her left hand's second last finger.
"Good! So that now, you know that I will never ever leave you."
Everyday was perfect. May could depend on Brendan to protect her from strong Pokemon and bullies. Until a dark rainy day when Brendan turned ten. He was finally ten but May was eight. Brendan could start travelling with a clique and start contests and earning badges. But the thing was, Brendan had to leave May. When he told her the news, she cried and cried. She clanged on his arm begging and pleading for him not to leave her. On that sad day, he remembered crying too but he already took his town map and starter Pokemon, Mudkip.
"Why do you have to go? Please don't leave me, Brendan! You promised me!" She waved her hand in front of him only for him to see she still had the ring on her finger.
"I-I-I'm so sorry May May."
"Don't be sorry! Just don't leave me!"
"May, I promised the guys we'd start hunting for cool Pokemon."
"I-I'll be alone. No one will play with me."
"You have Max-" he was cut off when he noticed the brunette tearing up
"Don't cry May May. Please don't cry! Ok, I'll make you a deal. You study up on Pokemon and how to catch them and stuff, once you're ten, you can join my clique and we will be together forever."
'Umm. Okay but since you couldn't keep your previous promise, I want another one."
"Sure May, Anything you want."
"Until we meet again, you must promise me. Promise me you won't forget me and that you will still love me."
"I promise and this time, I swear on my grave that I will keep it."
With that, he hugged her and waved goodbye. He felt his heart break into a million pieces and May watched him till he was no longer visible.
Present
"Why do you have to be such a jerk?"
"Why do you have to be so dense?"
"You asshol-"
"Okay! Enough! You guys always fight! ALWAYS! Can you guys just give it a rest already?"
May and her chartreuse rival were at it again. They always quarreled with each other but they had a crush on each other as well. Their usual bickering gave Solidad and Harley a migraine once again.
"Just admit I'm better than you and then you can have your stupid badge back!"
"No Way Grass Head! Besides, what did I do to you for you to start torturing me like this?"
"Yea Drew, just give it back so we all can have some peace. Look, even Harley is at his happy place."
"Not until this poor excuse of a Coordinator admits she's not worth this badge!"
"Drewsie, my head hurts. Can you just give May her badge please."
"She didn't earn it because she used Solidad's Pokemon! It's cheating! She's a bad no terrible coordinator!" From that moment, he turned to see a teary eyed brunette Coord.
"All my Pokemon were unwell and I had to earn it because it was the last contest before the festival. I'm sorry if I angered you, Drew. You won't have to see me again if you hate me so much."
After realizing what he said he broke down. "Oh May… I'm Sorr-" But it was too late. May had dashed out of the hotel and into the busy streets. She could hear Drew calling her name and it was getting louder and louder. Hey eyes filled with salty water and she couldn't see a thing.
BANG!
"Oh my god. I'm so sorry, sir."
"May? This that you?" [Guess who?]
May looked at the silver headed boy. "Do I know you?" were the only word that slipped out of her lips.
"Hey May, you broke your own promise." Chuckled the boy "Maybe you can't recognize me because of my hat."
The boy pulled off his hat thought to be his silver hair and revealed a jet black hair with a huge scar on the left side of his head.
"Brendan?"
"How long has it been May May?"
