Chapter 2

Reunion

--

May was walking towards a stall with an angry look on her face while Brock and Dawn followed behind.

When Dawn was about to strike a conversation with May to finally break the ten minute walk of silence, Brock immediately covered her mouth and shook his head.

"Now is not the best time to do that Dawn." He whispered to her ear so May couldn't hear them talking.

"Oh…"

Ash, who was trailing behind the two, was rubbing his cheek with a red slap mark present on it as he sighed.

"Why did she have to slap me so hard…" He mumbled to Pikachu who was standing on his shoulders.

The gang went to the stall where May was heading, and she bought four extra large pancakes, and went towards a bench, then she gave two to Brock and Dawn with a smiling face.

Ash, however, was ignored, sighing, he made his way towards a vacant bench and sat on it. Brock and Dawn sat together on a bench and began munching down their pancakes while staring at the two still giving the silent treatment to each other.

May had to sit next to Ash, since there were only two benches, and each bench can only hold up to two persons only.

The next minutes was spent in silence as May had already gobbled down half of her pancake until she looked at Ash staring at the second pancake she was keeping with her with his mouth drooling.

She ignored him, but afterwards the sounds of a grumbling stomach took over as May couldn't ignore his hunger any longer.

"Here, I know you're hungry…" May slowly said while giving the pancake to Ash.

"Huh, Why? Aren't you still mad at me?" Ash stared blankly at her.

"Of course I still am!" May suddenly shouted causing Ash to back off.

"But I can't stay mad at you forever you know…" May calmed down as she tried to smile at him as he blushed lightly.

"So do you forgive me?"

"Of course I forgive you silly." She let out a bigger smile, causing Ash to blush more.

"Man, she's so cute when she does that…" He mumbled to himself as he grabbed the pancake off her hand.

"What was that Ash?" May, however heard his mumbling.

"Oh its nothing really…" Ash tried to defend himself as she glared at him with those devilish eyes.

"Nothing??" May slowly said as she clenched her fists again, as Ash is like having déjà vu all over again.

"Please don't hurt me!" Ash pleaded to her while he covered his face with the pancake,

"I just said that you're cute whenever you smile like that, that's all." Ash suddenly said that without thinking.

He stared at the once steaming hot May who was blushing deeply by that statement, and then she quietly continued eating her pancake.

Ash stared at her for a moment and began eating his, a few more minutes have passed and the gang ate their fill and began walking towards the town square.

"So May, how's Max doing?" Brock asked the brunette coordinator who was leading the way.

"Oh Max, he's at home, since he's turning ten this year, he wants to begin practicing taking care of pokemon with Dad."

"Really? Cool!, I know he'll become a great Pokemon trainer." Ash said causing May and Brock to nod in unison.

"So, May, how many ribbons do you have with you right now?" Dawn asked the brunette coordinator.

"Oh, I have three at the moment."

"Wow, really? Cool! Can I see them?"

"Sure." May then reached for her fanny pack and took out a case, as she opened it, three sparkling ribbons came into view as Dawn's eyes also sparkled by the beauty of these ribbons.

"I got this ribbon from Ekruteak City, this one in Azalea Town, and this one in Mahogany City." She pointed out to the three ribbons.

"Wow, just two more, and you're on your way to another Grand Festival!, piece of cake!" Dawn raised a fist to the air, cheering for May.

"It's not that easy you know, the competition is a lot harder than I thought, thankfully my pokemon were able to push through."

"Oh yeah, I haven't shown you my new and evolved team yet, have I?" She giggled as she threw six pokeballs to the air.

"Blaziken, Wartortle, Skitty, Beautifly, Venusaur, and Glaceon! Come on out!"

The pokeballs opened as her six pokemon appeared to their very eyes.

"Blaaaaaaaze!"

"Wartortle!"

"Nyaa!"

"Saur!"

"Beautifly!"

"Glaceon!"

"Wow, your Squirtle evolved!" Ash was amazed,

"And your Bulbasaur also evolved!" Ash began inspecting the large grass-type pokemon being more amazed than before.

"Wow, so this is Eevee?" Ash knelt down to look at the ice-type of the Eeveelutions as it leapt towards Ash and began licking his cheeks.

"Oh, you still remember me, do you?" Ash chuckled as he patted its head.

"Oh yeah, how about I show you my team!" Ash suggested as he threw five pokeballs to the air!

The five pokeballs opened, and five pokemon appeared in front of them.

"Turtwig!"

"Bui, bui!"

"Staravia!"

"Gligar!"

"Chimchar!"

"Oh yeah, let me show mine too!" Dawn also said as she threw four pokeballs to the air as they opened to reveal her pokemon team.

"Piplup!"

"Pachipa!"

"Buneary!"

"Ambipom!"

"And don't forget me you guys!" Brock told them as he let out his pokemon to join in.

"Sudowoodo!"

"Croagunk!"

"Happiny!"

"Wow, so these are Sinnoh pokemons… They're so cute!" May smiled as she looked at the pokemons staring at them.

Pikachu leapt off Ash's shoulders to join the other pokemons as they greet themselves to May's pokemons.

Buizel, and Croagunk stared at the taller Blaziken as it also stared at them intently, they're pretty much amazed by how strong this pokemon is just by staring at it.

Sudowoodo, Piplup, and Chimchar greet themselves at the humongous Venusaur, who smiled back as the plant on its back produced three vines as it went towards them, it shook its vines, prompting them to happily shake them.

Ambipom, Pachirisu, Wartortle, and Skitty quickly became friends as they chased each other in circles while Skitty eventually ended up chasing its own tail.

Happiny became comfortable on top of Beautifly as it flew around the area while striking a conversation with Gligar and Staravia.

Last but not least, Glaceon slowly approached Pikachu and saying sweet talks to him, Pikachu blushed a little but replied with a smile and patted her shoulders, causing her to blush. Buneary, however, quickly noticed this, and began walking towards Pikachu and asked him to join with the others and began pulling him away.

Pikachu called Glaceon over as she happily followed the two, but as the two pokemon's eyes got into contact, a new rivalry is formed.
