Inside the house was pretty nice, but it was laid out a lot like her place, just parallel to it with different furniture. Suddenly, out of nowhere, someone shouted,

"Torchic, ember!"

At once, tiny fireballs flew from somewhere towards May!"

"Eeeep!" she cried as she ducked, letting the fire hit the door.

"Great! Now we set the door on fire!"

May looked up to see a boy her age wearing regular jeans and a white shirt with white colored hair. He had a panicked expression on his face as he ran to the kitchen to get water. May sat on the floor, a bit of a distance from the door, a bewildered expression on her face.

"Oh...my...gosh... he's not cute...he's... gorgeous!" she thought, staring at him. She didn't even notice the tiny Pokemon standing in front of her, watching her with beady little eyes.

"Torchick!" it cried, making May jump. She looked down to see a little orange bird with no arms, chicken feet, and a bundle of feathers on it's head.

"Aaaawww... your so cute!" she exclaimed, reaching her arms out to hug it.

"Tor?" it chirped confusedly. "Torrrrr!" it breathed a bit of fire on her face.

"Hey, what gives!?" she exclaimed, her hands covering her face.

"Um, who are you, and what're you doing in my house?"

May looked up, her face uncovered and blackened, to find herself facing the pretty boy who had tried to set her on fire. She blushed slightly.

"I'm, uh, I'm May. I just moved in." she struggled slightly to let the words leave.

"Why are you in my house?" he stranger asked.

"I, um, came to say hello."

"Oh, uh," the boy rubbed the back of his head, slightly embarrassed, because he thought someone was breaking in. "Hi, I guess. I'm Brenden."

"Brenden? Never heard of someone with that name."

"Yeah, its kinda rare."

"Oh. Well, I'm May, nice to meet you." she stood and pointed to the tiny Pokemon on the floor. "Is this yours?"

"Oh, yeah. This is Torchick. Say hi!" he picked up his Pokemon, but it ignored his inquiry.

"Um..."

"Torchick's, uh, a bit ignorant. He'll get over it." he put the Pokemon down, and it ran up the stairs. "He's always like that."

May nodded back in response. "I wish I had a Pokemon."

"You don't have one?"

May shook her head.

"Well, I would help you catch one, but I have to go help my dad soon."

"Oh, ok."

Brenden walked over towards the stairs. "Torchick! We gotta go help dad! C'mon!" the tiny Pokemon hopped casually down the stairs in no hurry whatsoever.

"What does your dad do?" May asked curiously.

"Oh, he's Littleroot's Pokemon professor."

"Really!?"

"Yup. I gotta go. See ya, May!" he rushed out the blackened door, torchick following shortly behind.

"So he's a professor's kid, huh? Well, I hope I see him again," May thought as she walked out and closed the door behind her. "So, he's not a jerk. He actually seems nice..." her thoughts were interrupted with the sound of someone shouting. May looked over and ran towards the sound of the screams.


So, May has an interest in Brenden... Could this mean something? Only time will tell! :) By the way, its not quite as hard as some people say it is to write more then one story at once. You just gotta take turns. :) By the way, can anybody tell I like smiley faces?? :) But seriously, sorry this chapters short, but the first chapter was originally seven Open Office pages worth! I had to make it shorter! :) I promise the next one will be longer!
