This is my first fanfic ever, but I have read a lot and am willing to give it a shot. This is a story about Ash and May, so that makes me an advanceshipper. Oh and I can't forget this: DISCLAIMER, I do not own Pokemon, or any characters within it.
Just a little insight to the story before it starts, first off this story starts with Ash, May, and Brock walking together through a forest. Second this story takes place while Ash is in Hoenn, and not in Sinnoh, and third Max is not present in this story.
The story takes place after May has won her newest contest ribbon just two days ago. During the contest May had trouble advancing to the finals, and thought that she couldn't win,but then Ash came backstage and gave her a big confidence boost. May was able to win the final round, but after leaving the contest hall she was unusually quiet. It is two days later that the story starts.
Edit(8/9/08): this entire story has been re-written into a format that complies with FF's rules.
Chapter 1
"Man, it feels as though we've been walking through this forest for days without stopping!" Ash groaned.
Brock withheld a snicker, "You're right Ash, we should find some place to stop and rest for the night. But first we have to find a good place to camp."
Pikachu was happily riding on Ash's shoulder and happened to glance off to the side. "Pika Pi Chu!" (Look over there!) He exclaimed.
Pikachu pointed its finger off to the side of the path. Seeing this Ash, May, and Brock turned to look and saw a large clearing behind a few trees.
"Alright! We can finally stop for the night!" Ash said eagerly and hurried over, his two friends following.
After navigating into the clearing Ash goes out to look for firewood, while May and Brock set up camp. While they were setting up, Brock decided to try and speak with May.
"May, are you alright? You've been pretty quiet for the past few days." Brock asked gently.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine. I've just had a lot on my mind that's all." May replies quietly as she sits down on a small log.
"Care to talk about it?" Brosk asks as he sits down next to her.
May sighs a little, "Well there's this guy that I know, and I kinda have feelings for him. The only problem is that I don't know how to tell him, or if he even has feelings for me."
Brock grins to himself, knowing that May was talking about Ash. He also knew that Ash liked her back since he (Ash) mentioned that he liked a certain brown-haired, blue-eyed girl during the contest, while May was on stage.
"Whoever it is, I'm guessing that he probably likes you back." He says reassuringly
May sighs again while her Eevee jumps into her lap. She starts petting her while gazing up at the sky.
