CHAPTER 1

Long Time No See

--

It was a sunny morning, as three friends waited at the harbor of --town as they waited for a special friend to come.

A girl with a white beanie covering her head and had blue hair reaching to her back, she wore a sleeveless black shirt and a white shirt underneath. She had a pink mini-skirt reaching only above her knees and matching boots as well, finally she wore a red scarf around her neck.

"So, can you guys tell me more about her?"

She turned to her friend who was about an inch taller than her.

The boy wore a red-black cap with a half-pokeball design, he had black hair standing out to the sides, he wore a black shirt with a yellow V-design in the middle and white sleeves. He also wore light blue baggy jeans and black and blue sneakers.

"Well, she's a great coordinator just like you Dawn and – "

He was cut off when he heard the voice of a pokemon on his shoulders.

"Pika, Pikachu!" A Yellow mouse pokemon called the attention of the three as it pointed towards a figure coming out.

"Beautifly!" A Butterfly pokemon shouted as it came towards Ash and landed on its head.

"Hey, it's a Beautifly!, and its looks so familiar…" The taller man said while staring at the Beautifly.

He had spiky dark brown hair, eyes that seems to be closed always; he had tan skin and wore a dark-brown and red-orange vest and dark khaki pants. He looked like the big brother of the group.

"Isn't this May's Beautifly, Brock?" The trainer grabbed Beautifly from his head inspected.

"You're right, Ash " Brock patted Beautifly as it squealed happily.

"Hey! You guys! Ash! Brock!" Suddenly a loud voice that sounds so familiar came from the ocean as well as the three looked to see what was calling them.

They saw a boat, and at the deck of the boat, was a figure waving at them.

It was May all right, but now she wore a different outfit, instead of the red bandana she always wore before, it was now green, and her red shirt before now turned to a long sleeveless orange shirt that reached to her thighs, her fanny pack is now green and sneakers that now match her new outfit, however, she still kept her black and white gloves.

But the best of all, she still had that beautiful and cheerful smile on her face, much to Ash's delight of course.

As the boat stopped at the port, everyone was pretty excited as they are waiting to see May up close as they waited for all the passengers to get off.

Finally there she was, but now she was carrying shopping bags with her… Typical May, always quite a shopper is she.

May walked towards the group, but due to Ash's excitement, he ran quickly towards May and hugged her tightly as May blushed deeply but also confused.

"I miss you so much May." Ash said while still hugging her.

"Uhh… yeah Ash, I miss you too." She slowly lifted her arms to hug him back while still carrying the bags.

Ash released the hug afterwards and began rubbing his eyes.

"Ash, are you crying?"

"No, I just… have something in my eye."

She giggled at him as Pikachu jumped from his master's head to May's arms,

"Aww, I miss you too Pikachu." She said while rubbing his head with her cheeks.

May released the hug and Pikachu climbed to her head and is now lying comfortably. She then looked at Brock and Dawn and proceeded to meet up with them.

"Hey, Brock, good to see you again." She smiled at the older man who had been like an older brother to her.

She looked at the blue-haired coordinator and smiled,

"You must be Dawn, nice to meet you."

"Wow, Ash told me all about you, you're a coordinator like I am, and you competed at the Grand Festival too, "

Dawn suddenly grabbed her hands and began swinging them up and down with sparkling eyes as May stood blankly at her sudden outburst.

"I can't believe I'm meeting a great and famous coordinator like you in person!"

May only blushed in embarrassment by her remarks.

Dawn finally released the handshake and pointed her finger on her chin, looking as if she's thinking about something.

"Ash also told me that you're sweet, caring, and a very trustworthy friend!"

Ash and May looked down and blushed deeply at that statement.

"A-A-Ash … told you that?" She slowly asked her.

"Of course, and oh yeah, he also told me that you had a younger brother, what's his name again?,

Dawn scratched her head while she's having a brainstorm.

"Was it Mark? Mack? Mackie?... Muk?"

"No, it's Max!" May said while faking a laugh at her wild guesses.

"Oh, I almost forgot, he also told me that you always pick a fight with your brother, and also you were a glutton."

Ash, who was behind May, who also heard that statement, made weird poses like waving his head and his hands sideways, and moved his arm around his neck as it if were slitting his throat, as he tried to tell Dawn not to say that word. Dawn, however, didn't notice any of that.

"G-G-Glutton?" May was dumbstruck by that word, as her head looked down and she clenched her fists.

"Yeah, he always tells me that you eat like a Snorlax that hasn't eaten for days." Dawn said with a happy expression on her face, not noticing a red aura coming out from May's body.

"ASH! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A GLUTTON!"

May screamed as she looked behind to find Ash, but only saw Brock pointing at something behind her, she turned around again to see Ash already hightailing out of the port.

"ASH! COME BACK HERE!"

She dropped her shopping bags on the floor and began to chase the trainer running for his life.
