KNOCK, KNOCK the loud thumps came from outside. May got up from her songs and went to the door as Max trailed behind her.

May opened the door to reveal a boy around her age. He was a head taller than her and had black spiky hair that turned to silver at the top. He had emerald eyes and a large grin spread across his face.

"Brendan…" May said, trying to suppress the aggravation she felt.

"Hey May!" he said in a very cocky voice.

"What do you want?" May said rolling her eyes and walking back inside as Brendan followed. Max watched the two he knew how much his sister disliked the boy and knew this wasn't going to end well.

"I thought that since we were going to be married that atleast I'd take you out on a date first." Brendan said as he sat on a chair, he had an air of superiority about him.

"We're NOT getting MARRIED, Brendan." May said trying to keep her voice steady as she had begun shaking in anger now.

"Oh puh – leaze, and exactly who's going to be able to keep this dump running? Your Dad? Or Max? when he becomes of age? My father is a Professor, and he is very much needed in this fast growing world of ours May. Your father is just a second class bum, and wont be here much longer, and then who's going to take care of you?" Brendan said as he smirked.

"How dare you speak of my father that way you slimy little toad!!!!!" May screamed as she got up. Immediately Brendan got out of his comfortable position.

May grabbed some books and other objects and started throwing it at Brendan who backed out of the house.

"Oh, here could you do me a favor and take out the garbage for me honey??!?!?!" May spat as she threw the garbage basket at Brendan.

"Why you ungrateful little thing! Do you know how many women would love to marry me??!!?!? I'll see to it that you marry me or no one else!" Brendan said storming off as his many fan girls followed behind him with hearts in their eyes.

"What a jerk!" May said as she closed the shades of the window after watching Brendan storm off with his fan girls fluttering behind him.

"Calm down May." Max said trying to calm his sister down. May looked at her brother and sighed,

"I guess I should clean this mess I made, huh?" she said with a sad smile.

"I'll help!" Max said happily as he began to pick up the various items that were thrown at their guest and place them back in their original places.

"Ok, now that everything is finished want me to make some dinner?" May asked as they put away the last of the items.

"Uh…I'd rather not take a chance at your cooking May." Max said making a face remembering the last time he tried one of his sister's cookings.

"Hey! I can cook pretty well you know!" May said as she pouted and walked off to the kitchen and her brother following behind, to make sure she didn't burn anything.

Norman had just passed the outskirts of Petalburg City and should have entered La Rousse City by now.

"Hmm…something is wrong here, I should have seen La Rousse City by now. Oh no! I went around didn't I? Great just great, now I have to go back." Norman said as he looked ahead of him. There was two paths to choose from, on one side everything looked bright and happy, but on the other it was snow covered and dark, scary looking.

"Let's go this way Rapidash." Norman said, urging his pokemon toward the dark and scary looking place. It took sometime before Rapidash went that way, as it was scared of how everything looked.

The two went on for a while, and then suddenly they were surrounded by pack of Mightyena.

"Might!" they roared as they saw their prey. Becoming frightened Rapidash reared itself and Norman fell to the ground losing his grip. He tried to calm the frantic pokemon but to no avail. Soon, Rapidash had jolted and ran frightened, and Norman not knowing what to do ran as the Mightyena chased after him.

Norman finally came upon a mansion and rattled the large gate that obstructed his path. After sometime, he was finally able to open the gate and entered into the court of the mansion. Closing the rusting gates just as the snarling jaws of the large dog like pokemon came at him.

After regaining himself off the floor, Norman walked into the mansion. He slowly opened the door and called out into the emptiness.

"Hello? Is anyone here? I was attacked by a bunch of Mightyena and I ran here, so if I could just use your phone and maybe stay here for the night…Hello?" Norman said before realizing he was talking into an empty vacuum.

Reaching for a candle near by, Norman searched the rest of the castle with the dimly lit candle. He soon came upon what seemed as the family room, it had a fire place that radiated with heat as the fire had been set.

Finding a couch Norman sat himself upon it, making himself comfortable. Pairs of eyes stared out at the man, who was now beginning to feel uncomfortable. Suddenly a rustling was heard and the little pairs of eyes looked frightened.

"WHO ARE YOU!!?!?!!?!" a mighty voice roared as large green figure with glowing red eyes appeared in front of Norman, who was paralyzed with fear.

"Rosa- rei!" came a pleading voice, but the large figure in front of him would have none of it,

"WHO ARE YOU I SAID!!!" the voice boomed again.

"I-I- I'm the gym leader of the Petalburg Gym, I got attacked by Mightyena and sought refuge here." Norman said stuttering.

The pair of eyes looked dangerous, there was anger within them. The figure grabbed the man by the collar and looked him in the eyes.

"You're not welcomed here." The voice said in a dangerous whisper.

"Well- th- then –I – I'll b- be lee—leaving now." Norman said as he backed away as soon as the creature let him go.

"NO! YOU HAVE TRASPASSED, AND FOR THAT YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!" the voice boomed again as it swiftly went behind Norman and grabbed him. The creature went to the dungeon and locked him up.

MEANWHILE….

Rapidash, frightened as it was went to the only place it knew to be safe. It had been early morning by the time it had reached Petalburg City. Rapidash looked up as it saw the roof top of the Petalburg Gym.
