-Chapter Two-

OH GREAT IT LOOKS HORRIBLE DOESN'T IT!?

May's POV

LITTLEROOT TOWN

A town that can't be shaded any hue.

THIS. WAS. IT! I WAS GOING TO START MY POKEMON JOURNEYYYY! I was super psyched! And... I was also going with Brendan... which made me feel really strange again... that weird feeling... but I just shook it off.

Mom, Professor Birch and his wife stood in the heart of Littleroot. They waved goodbye as we took our last steps in the town. "Bye Mom!" I called, smiling.

"Good luck, sweetie!" she called back.

"See ya, Dad, Mom," Brendan said, waving.

"Have fun," they said in perfect unison.

Brendan and I immediately looked back at each other. "Shall we?" he asked.

I nodded. "We shall!" I giggled.

And with that, we left Littleroot... to start a new adventure...

Brendan's POV

ROUTE 101

Perfect for doing fieldwork.

May and I went through Route 101 like a breeze, until hell appeared...

"So, yeah, then the little guy used his Pikachu and totally destroyed that big buff guy," May explained as we walked, her Torchic sitting in her arms. She was seriously so interested about one of those Pokemon movies! Sooooo interested. It was entertaining to watch her explain about a battling Pikachu, however. She made little movements as she spoke as if she was doing the action, really drawing me in... how could I resist her!? SERIOUSLY! Anyway, enough of me in a trance.

"And then what?" I asked.

"Well, the guy totally backed away and the little dude was all like 'YEAAAH! YA WANNA PIECE O' DIS!?'" she shouted like some maniac.

"What the Krabby? He said that!"

"Of course he did. Little guys always are more tough than they seem! That's like the total obvious!"

I laughed. "Yeah sure."

"So, then the Pikachu went all wild and started attack-" May froze in the middle of her sentence. "Oh no..." she whispered.

"Wha-" I turned around as well to see a large horde of Zigzagoon! "Aggghhh! A whole horde!"

May held up her Pokedex at the Pokemon. "Zigzagoon restlessly wanders everywhere at all times. This Pokemon does so because it is very curious. It becomes interested in anything that it happens to see. the Pokedex informed. "They must've saw us all of a sudden and become curious! They want to battle! We can't run. Let's do this!" May said, clenching her fists. "Torchic! I choose you!" she yelled, her Torchic jumping up.

I nodded. "Alright..." I said unsurely. "Mudkip! Go!" I shouted, and in a flash, Mudkip was ready to battle.

"Torchic! Flamethrower!" she commanded. "Quick!"

The Zigzagoons dodged the attack all at once, as if they were phychic.

"Huh? No! Torchic, again!"

Torchic did as she commanded, however he was unsuccessful.

"They keep of avoiding the attack!" she moaned.

"Let me try," I said. "Mudkip! Rock Throw!" Mudkip tried to do as I said, but his attack was avoided. "It's no use! What do we do? Run?"

"We can't. They'll catch us," May said. "Little guys always are more tough than they seem!" she laughed.

"We gotta keep battling! Water Gun!" The Zigzagoons blocked the attack, and instead landed a Take Down on him. ONE-HIT KO! WHAT!? "Mudkip!" I yelled, rushing to pick him up. "Maybe he needs more training," I muttered.

May nodded. "Don't worry. I'll try Torchic. Ember!" Torchic blasted out a small amount of fire on the Zigzagoon, however they didn't take much damage. "At least they didn't avoid it. Ember! Again!" she shouted. Torchic did what she said but it still wasn't enough. He fainted over another Take Down. "No no no no no! Torchic!" she cried. She picked up her injured Pokemon. "Please! Stop! I can't fight anymore!" she shouted. The Zigzagoons understood and stopped immediately. "We need help!"

"The Pokemon Centre," I said, nodding my head. "There should be one in the next city. They can heal our Pokemon."

"Okay. Let's go then! Rush!"

OLDALE TOWN

Where things start off scarce.

We finally arrived in the peaceful Oldale Town, and May couldn't think about anything else except her Torchic. "We need to help Torchic and Mudkip," I said. "But where's the Pokemon Centre?"

"Hmm?" she looked around. "Ah! There!" she said. "The red roof, right?"

I nodded. "Come on, quick!"

OLDALE TOWN'S POKEMON CENTRE

May and I rushed into the Pokemon Centre, holding Mudkip and Torchic in our arms. It was very warm and friendly. The perfect place for a trainer. "Help!" I called as I ran up to a pink-haired nurse lady. "Our Mudkip and our Torchic."

She nodded. "Don't worry, I'll get right to work," she said, her small pink Pokemon taking away Torchic and Mudkip on small Pokemon beds. "Your Pokemon will be just fine," she laughed, smiling.

Torchic and Mudkip were totally fine, however the needed to rest a while at the back of the centre. May and I relaxed at the front on one of the cosy tables whilst we waited. May looked so laid back... her hands were folded behind her head and she was stretching out her legs... she looked really... just amazing as always... "So, are you two new to becoming trainers?" the nurse asked, the pink Pokemon by her side.

I nodded. "We just started our journey," I said.

"And we got a little sidetracked," May laughed.

"Well, I'm Nurse Joy! It's nice to meet you!" she introduced with a wave. "And this is Chansey!"

May brought out her Pokedex and focused it on the Chansey. "Chansey lays nutritionally excellent eggs on an everyday basis. The eggs are so delicious, they are easily and eagerly devoured by even those people who have lost their appetite," the Pokedex informed.

"Awesome! A Chansey! Nice to meet ya, bud!" May laughed as she petted the egg Pokemon.

"Thanks for helping out our Pokemon," I thanked.

"No problem. It's what I do! Just come here whenever your Pokemon are in trouble. Chansey and I will always help you out!"

"Thank you," I said.

"Anyway, I'll leave you two alone now. I'm sure a happy young couple w-"

"No no no no no no! We're not a couple!" May said, waving her hands about... however I stood silent... was I going red!? PLEASE SAY I WASN'T!

Nurse Joy laughed. "Oh right, sorry, sorry. You just look so cute together!" she giggled.

May sunk down into her chair, looking down at the table.

"Alright, I'll be going. Good bye you two," she said as she walked away, her Chansey following her.

"Oh he he..." I laughed nervously. "What a joker..."I mumbled. What!? It was the best I could come up with!

After only a bit, Torchic and Mudkip were feeling just fine again! "Torchic!" May giggled as Torchic chirped joyfully.

"Mudkip!" I laughed as Mudkip released a cry of hapiness.

"I know what we should do!" May announced. "In honour of us starting our Pokemon journey, let's feast!"

"Cool! Food! Boy am I starving!" I cheered.

"I heard that this place actually serves great food and a sleeping inn for trainers!"

"Great! Let's start!"

May's POV

OH MY GOOOOOD! NURSE JOY JUST CALLED US A COUPLE!? WHAT THE HECK!? I ACTED LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT IN FRONT OF BRENDAN! WHAT IS HAPPENING!? AND WHY WAS I... BLUUUSSHIINNNGG!? I'M DEAAADD!

Anyways. Back to real life.

Brendan and I ordered some food from the Pokemon Centre and it was aammmaaazing! Who knew that they'd have such wonderful food! "This food is amazing," I said as I sipped some of my soda.

"I know. I cannot get enough," he mumbled as he ate. "Anyway," he said, looking up at me. "You never finished telling me about that Pokemon movie, you know?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, the movie! Right! There's still something left to the story!" I remembered, passing Torchic some Pokemon food. "Well, after that, the little guy went on to becoming the strongest Pokemon Trainer there ever lived! He was amazing! Unstopabble! And in the end..." my voice grew quieter... "The boy finally got to...uh... be with... the love of his life..." I whispered, playing around with my fork. I looked down at the table, and again, blushing...

"He got what he wanted, right? That'll be for us too," Brendan said, smiling. I looked up to him. His look was comforting in a way.

"Right!" I said. "We'll be the best trainers ever!

He laughed quietly. "Of course we will."

Night soon came, and Brendan and I didn't want to continue our journey in the dark. We decided to stay at the Pokemon inn (the Pokemon Centre had everything!) with Torchic and Mudkip. They gave us a small, yet cosy, room with two beds opposite each other, drawers to keep our things, a large comfy carpet and a big window with beautiful scenery. It was great for staying overnight!

"This place sure is cosy," Brendan said, tossing his bag on the chest of draws. He placed down Mudkip of the comfy carpet, and I did the same with Torchic. As the two played I placed down my things. "So, whaddya wanna do?" I asked.

"Hmm..." he said, yawning loudly... his yawn was really entertaining...

"You tired?" I asked.

"Yeah, a little," he said, stretching out his arms. I hit the light switch.

"Good! I'm bushed!" I laughed, falling back onto the bed. "It's been a long day."

Brendan nodded. "You can say that again. I mean, I started my Pokemon journey! Today was legendary!" he exclaimed.

"Legendary!" I giggled.

"And..." he whispered. Everything suddenly went silent. "I met you today..." he said. "Life changing..."

I froze... and again... I went red... could this mean... I still didn't understand this feeling I had... "Yeah..." I whispered. "Meeting you was life changing..."

Brendan laughed quietly. "For sure!" He turned around to look at me and his eyes shimmered even brighter than before. "Thanks, May..."

"Huh? Thanks?" I asked, turning around also.

"For just being with me, ya know?"

"No problem," I laughed. "Hey, Torchic," I called the cute little chick over. Torchic jumped up onto my bed, chirping. "Let's get to sleep." Torchic nodded and shuffled his way into my arms. I giggled.

"Yeah, you too, Mudkip," Brendan said. Mudkip jumped up and started to relax on the bed. "Good night, May."

I smiled. "Good night, Brendan."

Brendan's POV

Morning soon arrived. I had a brilliant sleep. And it looked like Mudkip did too! He jumped up and down on the bed, eager to get on the road. I laughed. "Morning, Mudkip. May still isn't up, though," I said. Just saying her name made me feel like I was on top of the world! Mudkip jumped up in the air once more. "Wake her up?" He nodded. "Okay," I muttered.

I threw off the covers and stood up. Mudkip stood up, making the bed somehow (how could his little legs do such a thing?). I slid in front of the rooms mirror. "Alrighty," I mumbled. "Clothes," I dusted off my clothing. "Check! Hair," I took a look at my hair. "NOT CHECK! NOOOOOT CHECK!" I exclaimed. "My hair is a mess!" I heard a weird snigger coming from behind me. Mudkip. "What? I'm just seeing if I look good for the adventure, that's all. People can't see me looking like this," I said, pointing at my horrible hair. Mudkip gave me a 'I know what this is all about' look... and that looked kinda scared me... "What!?" I sighed. "Fine. I wanna look good in front of May, okay?" Mudkip laughed even louder. I turned to May and Torchic in bed. PHEW! They were still sleep- I froze... May... she looked amazing... even more amazing than always... not sure how that was possible, considering how amazing she already looked... Her hair was untied and all over the place, her eyes were shut, her eyelashes long and uhh... I didn't understand... It was just... I liked... everything about her... I shook my head.

After fixing my dumb hair (yes, I was not wearing my hat as I slept – amazing!), I walked over to May and Torchic. I knelt down to her. "May, wake up," I whispered. She turned around a bit in her bed, Torchic still lying in her arms. Her face was literally right next to mine now... riiigghhhtt next to mine... it wasn't uncomfortable, however... it was really nice in a way... BUT I COULDN'T JUST SIT THERE FOREVER! "May?" Her eyes slolwy opened.

"Hmm? Oh, good morn-"

May's POV

BRENDAN WAS NOT WEARING A HAT! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I'M SO INTERESTED IN IT IT'S JUST REALLY... UHH... I MEAN I HAVEN'T EVEN KNOWN HIM FOR LONG AND JUST THE SIGHT OF HIS HAIR IS SOOOOOOOOO... I DON'T KNOW... help me pls... I have a mental issue I believe...

Brendan's POV

"May?" I repeated.

"Oh-uh-yeah... sorry, uhh... weird dream..." she muttered quietly.

I smiled. "Morning!"

"Good morning, Brendan. And you, Torchic!" she giggled and Torchic jumped up and onto her chest. "What is it, Torchic?"

Torchic chirped loudly, pointing over to me.

"Brendan?"

Torchic jumped onto my head. "What the Ponyta?" I mumbled. "Uhh... Torchic?"

May giggled. "I think Torchic is talking about your hair," she said, sitting up straight as she removed her blanket... now she looked even more... uhh... was it, attractive?

"My hair? OH GREAT IT LOOKS HORRIBLE DOESN'T IT!?"

May laughed again. "No! It looks... nice..." she said. SHE SAID MY HAIR WAS NICE... "In a good way, of course! I haven't seen you without your hat before."

"Oh-uh-thanks, I think..."

"I mean, I like it..." she muttered as she stood up. "Really like it..."

I froze... what was I supposed to do then? "Oh-uh-anyway," I mumbled, trying to move the conversation off of me. "Let's get some breakfast and then we'll head out, kay?"

"Sure," she said. "One second." She sat at a small desk as she fixed her hair... who knew watching a girl tie up some hair was so entertaining? "There. Done."

"Great, let's go, I'm starving!"

May's POV

Brendan and I, along with Torchic and Mudkip, left our room to go and get breakfast from the centre. After we ordered we found a spare table. I sat down opposite Brendan. "So," I said, picking up a plate. "Where are we planning to go next?"

"Well, I was thinking we'd head on to Route 102, then we'd get to Petalburg," Brendan explained as he waved around a fork.

"Yeah! Then I'll get to see Dad!" I laughed. I was super excited to tell him about my Pokemon Journey!

"Yes! I admire Leader Norman!" I laughed quietly.

"I can't wait!"

Brendan's POV

Our breakfast arrived and I couldn't wait to dig in. Whilst we ate, May explained about one of those old Pokemon movies again, and again it was very entertaining! "So, they wanted to find the ancient Pokemon!" she explained.

"Ancient Pokemon?" I asked, sipping some orange juice.

"Yep. Ancient! Everyone was searching for the ruins, however nobody could find them," she continued to explain.

"And then what happened!?" I questioned, eager to find out more.

"Well then the movie ended on a cliffhanger. I haven't watched Part 2 yet," she said.

"Ugh! Oh my Ditto!" I exlaimed.

She laughed. "You know, many Ancient Pokemon used to exsist."

"I wanna catch an Ancient Pokemon!"

"Don't we all?" she giggled.

It was around the time that we had to get going, and I couldn't wait. The Pokemon Journey so far was awesome, and we were only just beginning! May and I gathered up all our things so that we could leave. "You ready?" she asked.

I nodded. "Come on, Mudkip," I called. Mudkip jumped up onto my head. I laughed. "Alright, Mudkip, let's go."

"And Torchic," May said as the cute little chick jumped into her arms. She held onto him and smiled. "Yep. Let's go."

OLDALE TOWN

Where things start off scarce.

May's POV

Brendan and I left the centre to leave Oldale, until Brendan saw the Poke Mart. "Oooh! Shop! We gotta stock up!" Brendan said.

"Yeah, because we are sooo rich right now!" I said in a sarcastic tone.

"Hmm... you're rig-" Brendan was interrupted by a tall, brown-haired man wearing a blue and orange apron with a white Pokeball symbol in the centre.

"Oh, why hello," the man said. "I suppose you two are new trainers, am I correct?"

Brendan nodded. "We're from Littleroot Town."

"Well then, since I'm on break now I might as well introduce you! This is the Poke Mart, as you may know," he pointed to the blue-roofed shop. "And here you go," he handed over a few more Pokeballs. "Pokeballs for the journey. And theese," he handed over some small purple thingies. "Those are Potions. If your Pokemon are in trouble and you are far from a Pokemon Centre, just spray some."

"Oh, thanks sir," Brendan said. He winked back at me. "Fortunate things do happen to poor guys, too," he whispered, laughing.

I giggled. "Right, right," I whispered back. "Thank you, sir."

"No problem. Find us in the blue roof," he said. "Have a great journey."

"Thanks. See ya!" Brendan called, walking off. I ran up to him, waving back to the Poke Mart man.

"Route 102?"

He nodded.

ROUTE 102

Perfect area for trainers in need of wild Pokemon battles.

Route 102 was normal. Quite short for a trainer to travel, however there was a problem. Again.

"So Roxanne is the gym leader i-" Brendan explained, yet again, he got interrupted by somebody!

"Hey! You two!" a young teenagers voice said called from behind us.

We turned to see two teenagers, one boy and one girl, standing next to each other, arms linked. "Huh? What is it?" I asked.

"Come on, you don't know!?" the brown-haired boy wearing a green and white Luvdisc shirt said.

"Know what?" Brendan asked.

"When two or more trainers eyes meet, it is their destiny to battle! Pokemon rules!" the brown-haired girl wearing the same t-shirt in red and white said.

"Uhh..." Brendan mumbled.

"Battle! Of course!" I laughed, nodding at Torchic. "Come on, Brendan!"

Brendan looked down for a second. "Alright!" he exclaimed, clenching his fists. Mudkip jumped beside him.

"Yay! I'm Lily," the girl pointed to herself. "And this is my boyfriend Drake," she pointed to the boy."

"Aww! That's so cute!" I said.

She giggled "Couple against couple!" Lily cheered.

"We're not a couple!" we said in unison. I gulped as my face turned a deep shade of red again...

"Awww! You two look so cute together, though!" Lily sighed.

"Come on, Lily!" Drake said. "Let's use to power of loooooove to defeat these newbie trainers!"

She nodded. "Yeah! Let's go! Two on two?"

"Yep. May the best trainers win!" I said.

"Go! Torchic!" I yelled as Torchic jumped forward.

"Mudkip! I choose you!" Brendan exclaimed, his Mudkip ready to attack.

"Hmmph! Come on! Numel!" Lily shouted, her Numel appearing from her Pokeball.

"Seedot, go," Drake said calmly as his Seedot appeared.

I held up my Pokedex at the two Pokemon. "Seedot attaches itself to a tree branch using the top of its head. It sucks moisture from the tree while hanging off the branch. The more water it drinks, the glossier this Pokemon's body becomes. Numel is extremely dull witted, it doesn't notice being hit. However, it cannot stand hunger for even a second. This Pokemon's body is a seething cauldron of boiling magma." I laughed quietly. Dull witted? "Brendan! Go for the fire-type!" I said. "I'll go for the grass-type. Super effective!

"Right." Brendan nodded.

"Hmmph! They found our weakness!" Lily said.

"We can still win this!" Drake exclaimed.

"Seedot, use Rock Smash! On the Torchic! Fire-type!" Drake nodded his head.

"No! Use Ember!" I shouted. Torchic shot a blast of fire at the Seedot, pushing him back a little, however, he wasn't giving up. He hurled huge rocks at Torchic, pushing him down to the ground. "Come on, Torchic!" I said, hoping Torchic would get up again. Luckily, he was able to.

"Don't worry May. Mudkip, use Dive against the Numel!" Brendan shouted.

"Numel, Flame Charge!" Lily commanded, however Numel's attack missed as Mudkip was down underwater. Mudkip bursted up from the water right underneath the opposing Numel, damaging him quite badly. Numel forced himself up.

"Torchic, Overheat!" I exclaimed. Torchic gathered his energy, burning in flames for quite a while, until he released his rage onto the Seedot. How could such a small, cute guy be sooooo tough!? The Seedot had no energy left to battle.

"Oh no, Seedot!" Drake sighed, returning the injured Pokemon to its Pokeball.

"Nice going, May!" Brendan said with a smile.

I smiled back. "Thanks."

"Don't worry sweetie! I'll make sure looooovvvee defeats these guys!" Lily giggled.

Drake nodded. "Yeah!"

"Numel, use Flamethrower!" Lily commanded.

"Mudkip, Hydro Pump! Give it your all!" A burst of water shot out of Mudkip, stronger than anything else that he had ever done! Numel fell to the ground, moaning loudly.

"Yeah!" Brendan and I cheered in unison as we did a small fist bump.

"Aww! We looosst!" Lily exclaimed. "Thanks for battling, though. I'm glad you didn't take it easy on us!" she said.

I smiled. "That's what trainers do, right, Brendan?"

He nodded. "Right."

"Alright, we gotta get going to Petalburg!" I remembered.

Brendan jumped up. "Oh yeah. I wanna meet your dad as soon as possible! I literally worship him! Thanks you two," he called, turning around already.

"See ya," they said in unison.

PETALBURG CITY

Where people mingle with nature.

Brendan and I finally were able to make it out of Route 102. Petalburg City. A whiff of salt was always in the air in this city that was skirted by the ocean shore. "We're here!" Brendan cheered.

"Yeah! Hmm? You hear that?" I mumbled, turning around to see a young boy outside the Petalburg Gym beside someone else I couldn't make out.

"Isn't that Norman, your dad?"

"Yeah, that's my dad!"

"Alright sir, I promise I'll work harder next time! And when my Pokemon are ready, I'll come and challenge you gym again!" the young boy said, clenching a fist.

Dad nodded. "Yeah. I'll be anticipating the next time we get to battle. Just come back when you're ready."

"Thank you, sir!" the kid scurried away, leaving Dad alone outside the gym.

"Dad!" I called. Dad turned around.

"May? Oh, May!" he said with a smile. I ran up to him, Brendan following me.

"Hi Dad!"

"Hey sweetie, what are you doing here?" he asked curiously.

"Big news: I've started my Pokemon Journey!" I announced doing jazz-hands.

"Wow! That's wonderful! I've always wanted to see the day my little girl went off into the world," he laughed.

"Professor Birch gave me a Pokemon! Torchic!" I said, Torchic jumping forward.

"Aww, what an adorable little guy!" he said as he stroked Torchic's head. "Wait a second, aren't you Professor Birch's son?" Dad questioned, turning towards Brendan.

He nodded. "Yes, sir. I love your gym, sir. I literally worship the way you battle, sir. Seriously, sir. You're awesome, sir. It's an honor to meet you, sir. I'm Brendan, sir. This is my Mudkip, si-"

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, calm down, little guy!" he laughed.

"Dad, this is Brendan. We're going on our journey together!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Brendan," Dad said.

"No no, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Brendan laughed. " I love your gym, sir. I literally worship you, sir. Seriously, si-"

"I think we've covered this already," I giggled.

"Oh yeah, right."

"You're a very nice boy. I'm glad May's going to be travelling with you.

WHOOO! LEADER NORMAN THINKS I'M NICCEE WHOOO!" Brendan shouted.

I laughed. "Brendan, calm down."

"So, are you two a couple now?" Dad asked. AGAIN!? OHH MYYY GOOODDD!

"No no no no no, we're not, Dad," I said, my face turning red again... and the weird feeling!

"Oh, sorry! I just- never mind," he muttered. "Anyways, I'm glad to know you're finally on your journey. I know you'll be amazing!"

"Thanks, Dad," I said. "Soooo, can I challenge your gym now!?"

"Oh no, slow down, May. You two have only just begun, I can't let you battle me just yet. My Pokemon are a bit too strong for you now."

I sighed. "Aww. Fine, I'll come back later when I'm stronger, okay?"

"Yeah. I'll be looking forward to your battle."

All of a sudden there was a sudden swish of a door and a young green-haired boy approached the gym. "Leader Norman!" the boy called. "Can I ask you something?"

"Who's this?" Brendan whispered.
