Hello everybody and welcome to chapter two of Reunion in Kalos! All I have to say here is thank you to Phantomwolfies for your positive review last chapter! Enjoy!
"Ash Ketchum?" A pink haired woman dressed like a nurse called looking for a specific person in the Anistar City pokemon center. A boy wearing a light blue jacket that had white lines going down the short sleeves and zip line over a black undershirt, black, fingerless gloves, his backpack had black straps but the backpack itself was a bluish-green, grey trousers, red sneakers with white borders, a red hat with a white half circle and the part that went over his face completely white on the bottom, brown, auburn eyes with zig-zig lines underneath them, scruffy, raven-black hair, slightly tanned skin and energetic attitude stood up and walked to the desk "Your pokemon have made a full recovery!"
"Thanks Nurse Joy!" Ash praised taking the five balls and a yellow mouse with a lightning bolt tail, brown lines on his back, red spots for cheeks, black eyes and pointy ears and a bright smile on his face. The pokemon proceeded to jump onto his trainer's shoulder.
"Pika!" The mouse exclaimed seeming to feel ready to do anything. He seemed to have adapted the same energetic attitude as his trainer.
"Shall we get going to Couriway Town, then?" A boy wearing a light blue jumpsuit that had a bright yellow collar, rolled up sleeves to his wrists, a line down the middle, pockets at each side of his waist, two yellow lines beneath said pockets, rolled up pants that had two more yellow lines, black and white shoes, rounded glasses, blonde hair that went down his neck and had a piece of hair stuck up roughly in the middle of his hair, pale skin and a kind smile on his face asked as he stood up. He put his white backpack that had a grey hand on it and black straps.
"Couriway Town? Where's that, Clemont?" A girl with with short, honey colored hair that barely touched her shoulders and a new reddish-pink fedora, a bright pink dress with a white collar, her gray top underneath, and a red waistcoat with a blue ribbon on her chest that Ash had given her, dark grey stockings, and brown boots asked as she stood up and put on her dark blue backpack.
"It's just after the next route, Serena!" A younger girl, who seemed to be related to Clemont due to them having the same hair and eye color: blonde and blue respectively, replied excitedly. She had an orange hair clip in her hair to hold her side pony-tail. Her hair was similar to her brother's in that it stopped right before her shoulders. She wore a brown, very short sleeved top with a black bow under the neckline, a bright yellow messenger bag with a white button that allowed it to shut, a white, puffy skirt, black shorts and pink shoes. Inside of her bag popped out a creature similar to Pikachu but instead was short, orange skin, reddish cheeks with satellite-like whiskers, large, rounded, black bordered but white on the inside ears, white stomach, one tooth inside of its mouth and a long, cord-like tail.
"That's right Bonnie!" Clemont praised his younger sister making her go slight red due to embarrassment. Ash seemed like he was about to pop with excitement.
"Then let's go then!" Ash exclaimed excitedly jumping slightly into the air fist bumping the air. The other three nodded and they all proceeded to the door.
"Before you go!" Nurse Joy suddenly told them remembering something important. The four turned around with confused looks on their faces "Ash, you got a message from someone named Brock to wait around for an extra day or two. He said that someone's coming over to visit." Clemont, Serena and Bonnie all raised a brow in confusion but Ash smiled and nodded. He wondered who was coming all this way just to see him. It then hit him that he hadn't talked to one of his travel partners for a long time: May. Just thinking about her made him go slightly red. He hadn't realized it when he travelled with her through Hoenn and Kanto again, but once he begun his travels in Sinnoh, he missed her perky attitude and somewhat annoying brother, Max. She always made him smile every day. He missed her…dearly.
"Ash?" Serena suddenly asked snapping the Kanto native out of his thoughts. Serena noticed the light blush on his face and was slightly angered by it "What's wrong and who's Brock?" Ash smiled again before answering.
"Brock's one of my best friends! Myself and him used to travel together a lot! Through Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh!" Ash replied "He was the leader of the Pewter Gym back in Kanto but since he was always travelling, his brother Forrest took over for him." Serena nodded in understanding.
"Do you know who's coming?" She asked again thinking that this was the reason why he was red but to her dismay, Ash shook his head.
"No. Not at all." Ash replied "But…I do have one idea…It could be…Nah, she wouldn't come all this way just to see me!" Serena nodded again but was slightly sceptical at who was coming and who Ash was talking about. Ever since she had met Ash back in Pallet Town when they were younger and were in Professor Oak's Summer Camp, she had always like him…more than a friend. But, to her dismay yet again, Ash never saw the affection that Serena had given him all of this time they had travelled together due to one problem: he was as dense as a rock.
"Guess we're staying here longer than normal, huh?" Clemont joked rubbing the back of his head "Sorry, Ash."
"Why are you apologising?" Ash told him confused "It's not your fault that someone's coming here!" Clemont smiled and nodded at Ash.
"Plus, I'd like to explore Anistar City a lot more!" Serena added happily "The shops, the atmosphere! All of it!" The three nodded again as they went back to their previously booked room and put their bags down only taking their pokeballs with them just in case before going back out of the pokemon center to explore Anistar City.
"Bye Mom! Bye Dad!" May waved using both of her hands from the ship that she was on to her parents as it was sailing away in the Slateport Docks. It would take almost a day to get to the Kalos region, let alone to Anistar City. The boat would dock at Couramine City where May would have to get a train all the way to Anistar City. It wouldn't be until tomorrow night until she could get to her destination.
"Goodbye, sweetie!" They both called back.
"Don't come home until you tell him!" Norman exclaimed causing May to look away hiding her redness but both of her parents knew it was there.
"Good luck!" They both told her still waving. May waved back until the Slateport Docks were out of view.
"They sure know how to embarrass me." May mumbled to herself making only herself hear before going to her room that she would be staying in. She threw herself onto the bed and thought about how she would tell the raven haired boy that she had fallen in love with. Would it be as soon as she got there? Would she wait until the next day? Would it ruin their friendship if he didn't feel the same? She couldn't decide. She only had a week to tell him before she had to leave and go back home again. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep on the bed due to her getting up early and barely sleeping a wink the night before due to her thinking about what she was to do once she met back up with Ash.
Little did she know, he felt the exact same way even if he didn't even realize it...
OK. I know that these chapters are really short, but this story would be over in about five chapters if I were to write these in the same amount of Hoenn Adventures (2000-5000 words per chapter). Stay tuned!
