Pokémon: The Adventures of Ash and May

Chapter 1: Return to Hoenn

After his journey through Sinnoh was complete, Ash and Brock said their goodbyes to Dawn and got on the next ship out of the region.

" I always hate having to say goodbye to a friend," said Ash.

" Yeah, especially a girl like Dawn, I always thought she was cute with her shining blue eyes and hair as blue as the waters of Cerulean City," said Brock.

" Uh, that's a little disturbing Brock," said Ash.

" I'm sorry, are we heading back to Kanto?" asked Brock.

" Nope, we're going to the region where the most beautiful girl lives," said Ash as he began to blush.

" Uh Ash, Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy are in every region, who else is there? " said Brock unknowingly.

" I'll give you a hint, she has eyes as blue as the ocean, beautiful brown hair, the personality and body of a goddess, and she has an annoying, nerdy little brother," said Ash.

" No way, I never knew that you had romantic feelings for May! High five! Get it in!" shouted Brock at the top of his lungs.

" Shut the hell up Brock, you're scaring everyone on this ship including me!" yelled Ash.

" Pika Pika!" yelled the yellow electric mouse from Ash's arms.

On the horizon, Ash and Brock saw the waterfalls of Ever Grande City and the shipyards of Slateport City. The heroic duo was back in Hoenn, the land of the world's most beautiful Pokémon Coordinator. Ash's heart started to beat very fast. The last time he was with May, he didn't have the guts to ask her to be his girlfriend and he considered that to be the worst mistake he made in his life. He couldn't wait to see May again and this time he was going to make a move on her.

Brock, Ash, and Pikachu disembarked the ship at Slateport City and immediately went to the nearby Pokémon Center. Ash remembered the wild Pokémon in Hoenn were no pushovers and he wanted all of his Pokémon to rest before he began his long journey to Petalburg City in search for May. Little did he know, Ash didn't need to search far.

"Ash!" yelled a beautiful 13 year old girl from the Pokémon Center door. Ash immediately recognized the voice and turned around already blushing.

"May! Long time no see!" said Ash.

" What are you doing back in Hoenn?" she asked.

" Well out of all the regions I visited, this is by far my favorite," responded Ash.

" Where are you headed Ash? I would love to travel with you and Brock again if you want me too," said May.

" I would love it if you join us May," said Ash.

Ash wanted to spill his heart out there to her right now but he knew there was a time and a place for everything, Professor Oak usually gave him that advice. Brock, who went to flirt with Nurse Joy, came back and saw May and Ash standing together in the lobby.

" Aw, what a picture perfect couple you two would make," said Brock slyly.

" Shut up Brock or I'll trade your Sudowoodo for a Rattata," whispered Ash.

" It's nice to see you again May. Still a Pokémon coordinator I see?" asked Brock

" Of course! Still single I see?" asked May with a sarcastic grin.

Brock began to sob quietly.

" Where to Ash?", asked May.

" Well I want to have a rematch with all the gym leaders so first I want to travel to Petalburg City and challenge your Dad," responded Ash.

" Sounds great, I haven't seen my family in a while," said May.

" Pika Pikachu," added Pikachu.

The heroic trio then left and headed north towards Route 110 en route to Petalburg City.
