What would have happened if Ash and May didn't meet in petalburgh city? A lot

"Norman, I challenge you to a battle!" Ash said, if he won this badge he would have his fifth Hoenn badge.

"I accept" Norman said as he pulled out a pokeball

"Hi dad!" A girl said as she skipped through the door of the gym. She had brown hair with sapphire eyes and she was wearing a red top, shorts and a bandana

Wow Ash thought she is hot, do I have a chance

"Sorry May, I'm in the middle of a gym match, I'll talk to you later" Norman said as he released his first pokemon, Slakoth.

"Hmm, a slakoth" Brock said "it shouldn't be too hard but I'd watch out, this is a gym match after all"

"don't worry, I know what I'm doing" Ash said confidently as he sent forth grovyle

Hmm, I suppose grovyle is a smart choice, but something about Ash seems a little different, like he's trying to show off Brock thought

The match was short. Ash had won the battle with only his grovyle.

"Great job Ash" Brock said after the battle

"Pfft, it was nothing, anyone with a magikarp could have done it" Ash mocked

He seems a little too cocky Brock thought to himself perhaps it could be that girl. May!

When Brock turned around he saw Ash walking out the door with May

I knew it Brock thought as he headed back to the pokemon center to wait for Ash.

"wow, that was an amazing battle Ash" May said as the two walked in a field near by

"Thanks" Ash replied

Damn he's so cute May thought to herself there's no chance he'll feel the same way about me. He's travelled through three regions, I can't even get my one pokemon to obey me.

Shit she's so hot, I better act fast Ash thought

"So May, do you have any pokemon?" Ash asked

"Yes, I have one. But it doesn't obey me" She admitted

"Don't worry, happened to me the first time I got my Pikachu, you just need time to warm up to it" Ash told her

"thanks, wish I could command pokemon like you do" May said glumly

Now's my chance Ash thought

"It's not hard, you just need to show them that you mean it, show them that you're the boss as well as caring for them" Ash instructed

"How so?" May asked

"Like this" Ash said and leaned forward and gently kissed May and pulled back

"I think I need another demonstration" May teased

"Well if you insist" Ash said before once again the two were kissing for several moments, and the night went on like this.
