A start of a new journey.

A/N Hey guys this is my new story based on the pokemon anime. I was inspired to write after seeing how the fandoms reactions to different characters leaving the anime and the fact that the creators decided to give cameos to main characters in the games. This story will have a plot to each character. You will get what I'm saying as the chapters progress. Hope you enjoy it!

A week has past since the young co-ordinator's return to her home city. Petalburg.

For the past two years she along with her younger brother Max, Pokémon breeder Brock and Ash Ketchum had been travelling around the regions of Hoenn and Kanto, competing in contests and raising Pokémon. The past two years would be something she would remember always. In a matter of two days she would be starting a new journey in the region of Johto.

Roaming around the streets of Petalburg, 12 year old May walks back and forth, trying to past the time.

May's POV

Great, I just realized how boring Petalburg really is!. All this walking is making me hungry! And when I'm hungry I'd want to eat and when I eat too much I wouldn't be able to move and when I can't move I'd get bored and when I get bored I'd want to walk. It's a never-ending cycle!

Around me people were going about their everyday life. Some were going to work, the others were grocery shopping and the little children were probably on their way to school. It saddens me to know that they had 'not had the same experience as me. Like travelling for example!

I learned so much from travelling in two years than I would have if I had stayed in Petalburg. I would never have thought of loving Pokémon. I blinked and the realization hit me. I would never have dreamed of loving Pokémon! But now I love them! I can't imagine life without them.. Beautifly, Skitty, Munchlax, Blaziken….

I started to remember the first time I set out to travel when suddenly I was brought out of my deep thinking when suddenly my Poke-Nav rang. I reached out to my brown waist bag that I carried around during my travels and took out the black and tallow device. I looked at the screen and saw that it was my dad who was calling. I pressed the little green button to take the call.

" May?" said my dad. His voice was a little muffed over the Poke'- nav.

" Hey dad what's wrong?" I asked. My dad wouldn't usually call me. He was usually too busy with his gym.

" Nothings wrong sweetie, I just need a favor to ask" Replied my dad.

" A favor? Sure!" Anything to get me out of this boredom.

" Right now I'm in Littleroot town with professor Birch. Your mother has a dawn stone packed for delivery. I need you to come to Littleroot with the dawn stone with professor Birch's son who's at the moment with your mother"

When my dad finished talking I heard him taking a huge breath.

" Sure I'll do it. But wait who's professor Birch's son?" I asked him. I didn't even know he had a son.

" Brendan Birch, he's helping his father with research revolving around the dawn stone. He's here to help deliver it" Said my dad.

" I understand but why do I have to go" I asked. I really didn't understand why I had to go. Not that I'm complaining or anything.

" I just thought it would be easier for you since you are going to leave to Johto in 2 days. You can just board the ship from Littleroot and go straight from here. " Replied My dad.

He did have a point and besides it takes almost 2 days to reach Littleroot by foot and also this defiantly beats doing nothing.

" Ok I'll do it! You can count on me!" I grinned and gave my Dad a thumbs up from the Poke-Nav.

" I knew I could count on you!" Dad smiled and the Poke-Nav disconnected.

I started to walk on the familiar path Max and I use to take from the playground to our house when we were little. Speaking of Max! He'll be starting his journey around Hoenn sometime later this year as he will be 10 soon. At the moment he takes care of dad's Pokémon in the gym.

I reached my house and sure enough two figures were standing in front. One was my mother holding this dawn stone and the other was a boy around my age. I started to get nervous about having to travel with a new person after two years with the same was wearing a white hat that could be mistaken for his hair. Below the hat is outlined with green with a white pokeball sign on it. He was wearing a black shirt with red stripes on it and black pants. He was also wearing a off the shoulder green bag which I assume is where all his pokeballs are.

I quickly fixed my red bandana and went to greet them.

" I assume your father told you what you must do" My mother smiles and I nodded and then looked over at Brendan.

" Hi there I'm May nice to meet you" I reached out my hand for handshake.

Brendan smiled and took my hand. " The name's Brendan"

His friendliness made my previous nervousness go away. After all he will be by travelling partner for the next two days.

" You're the gym leaders kid?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.

He scratched his hat.

" I thought the gym leader's kid would be a guy…"

On second thought I take back the friendliness part. Before I got to reply a voice belonging to non other than brother said.

"I'm also the gym leader's kid" Max walked to our mothers side with a smug look on his face. He pointed at me. " Unlike her I actually plan to take on gym battles and succeed my father!" When he finished saying that, Max had a very determined look on his face.

Brendan smiles at him. ' Good for you! That seems like an excellent goal to keep you motivated once you become a trainer!"

Max grinned at him and blushed. He really likes to be praised. Brendan turned towards me again and said.

" What about you?" What do you do?" Before I got to answer again Max jumped in and said.

" Oh May? She is not into battling! She likes Pokemon contests. You know those cheesy acts to make the attacks look beautiful? He stretched the last part on purpose to mock me. " And you get a ribbon instead of a gym badge"

My brother looked at me all smugged with his hands to his glasses. He's so annoying! How dare he insult contests!.

" For your information young man I made the top 4 in the last grand festival and I have you know that it was'nt easy!" There that'll teach that little Wurmple.

Brendan had a very bemused look on his face as he watched our sibling rivalry unfold. Then he turned to face me.

" If you made it to the top 4 that means you had to battle , am I right?" I nodded.

" Yeah! Contest battles are just as hard as regular battles!' I stuck my tongue out at Max and he did the same. Out mother giggled.

" I guess somethings never change" She handed me the dawn stone. " Here! You hold on to this until the two of you reach Littleroot town"

I said I would and put the dawn stone into my waist pack.

It was late afternoon. After having lunch my mother packed Brendan and I a snack to take on our journey.

" Promise me you'll be careful and don't forget to stop and rest in Oldale town" Said my mom with a worried look on her face.

" Mom don't worry, I'll be fine and besides this isn't my first time travelling" I assured her as Brendan smiled at her.

" Yeah and I've been travelling all the time so there is really no need to worry!" said Brendan with a grin.

My mother smiled at us both. " I'll see you in two days to drop you off at the harbor!"

I hugged my mother and my brother while Brendan shook hands with them. After saying our goodbyes we both walked towards the path that would take us to Littleroot Town. As we walked I wondered what secrets lie in the mysterious dawn stone resting in my waist pack.

Stay tuned.
