HoennShipping! They don't get enough love... However, it's obvious they like each other in the game. Especially of NPC Brendan acts around May. :D Hahaha, like that one time he calls you, claiming he saw Rayquaza, then before hanging up, he says "I wish you were here..." When I first saw that, I was like "FLIRITING IN POKEMON?"

Rated Teen-ish for Brendan's thoughts.

Ah. But these guys are cute. :D In this case, Brendan is my player, thus my team.

Hoenn: Sick Days

Brendan's POV

After becoming a champion, there wasn't much else to do. I declined the title of becoming the new Elite four leader. I didn't want that stress, you know? I'm only seventeen. I haven't seen and done everything Hoenn offers. I hadn't even explored Johto, my homeland. I was thinking about going to Orre, a nearby desert region in need of some trainers to get rid of crime.

All my Pokemon were were unbeatable. However, we still trainer. Who knows when the best trainer ever might come knocking at your door? I was walking along Route One Hundred and Nineteen, rebattling some old challengers. Of course, I won the battles easily. As I walked down the pathway, I found myself quite lonely. I released my Manectric, Flynn. Flynn was a bulky Manectric and differed from others. He had jet-black fur instead of the usual bright azure blue. He had the usual, bright yellow mane like all Manectrics do.

Flynn had a long, pink scar running down his pale blue eye. He had gotten in a bad fight with a Salamence and had gotten a bad looking scar. As for me, I wore a cloud-white beanie that covered my jet black hair. I wore a red and black sports shirt with dark gray sweatpants. I also attired of green and black sweatbands and red fingerless gloves.

Everything seemed so nonchalant. Everything expect the gloomy clouds above. Flynn had used Rain Dance earlier, but the rain went away quick. Obviously a storm was coming soon. Still, Flynn and I walked through the mighty wind, looking for more challengers. "Hey buddy, I've been thinking..." I said to Flynn, making him stare at me with pale eyes. "We should take on the Battle Frontier..." Flynn excitedly barked. I smirked and laughed a little. "Alright. In that case, let's get Raul and..."

I looked over to see Flynn wagged his tail excitedly and staring with an aflutter expression at something in the distance. "Flynn? What are you...?" I looked at where he was looking. "Oh." I noticed what he was looking at. May... May was a close friend of mine. You could say we're best friends. May was wearing her usual outfit; black sport pants with a red top that had white Pokeball designs on it. She also attired of red sneakers, green and black sweatbands similar to mine, and white gloves with black tips. Her hair was a soft brown and reached her shoulders in a curvy manner. She had bangs covered some of her left eye.

At the time, her sapphire eyes were closed. She was sleeping under a tree. Whatever sunlight there was, it was shining brightly on her. I took a long gaze at her with a cheesy grin, enjoying being able to see the girl. I could hear her light snores. "That's actually kinda cute... Wait, what?" I blushed at my own thoughts. All of the sudden, Flynn growled lowly. I looked over to see him staring up to the cloudy sky.

I then felt a raindrop tumble abruptly onto my nose. I held my hand out, feeling the raindrops multiply at a rapid rate, making it result in a sudden downpour. I looked over at May, who was still asleep. "Gah!" I quickly returned Flynn so he wouldn't have to go through the rain like me. I then dashed over to May, kneeling at her side. "May!" No budge, movement, or anything. I pushed her around, wanting her to wake up. She only moaned tiredly, ignoring my protest. I started to think quickly. I did have a secret base nearby... An arm coiled around her thighs as another coiled around her shoulders. I lifted her up, quite surprised at how light the girl was.

I started dashing down the path. I look to see that my rival was still unaware of the rain pouring down on us. After making my way through the tall grass, I was finally at my secret base. I dashed inside, finally out of the frigid breeze. May was shivering hard now and I could feel that her body was becoming icy to touch. I looked at the fissure-print carpet that had multiple cushions. Normally when I was there and stayed the night or taking a nap, I would sleep there. I placed May down on the carpet, propping her head up on a cushion.

I quickly got out my emerald green bag after settling her down. I settled it on the ground next to her, pulling out a black blanket. I put it over her, which made her shivers stop. I sighed in relief, smiling at the sound of hearing her faint snores again. I then pulled out a towel, taking my beanie off and letting it dry. I dried off the rest of my body, then putting the towel out to dry. I then recalled Flynn, asking him to use Flamethrower on a bundle of firewood I always had in the base. I then sat down next to Flynn.

I stared at May who was still sleeping. I held up one knee, leaning my elbow against it. She did look angelic; the way her beautiful hair rested on her shoulder, the way she was snuggled up on the pillow... I heard Flynn snicker. "Ectric, tric..." Flynn spoke in his language. I pretty sure it translated somewhere along the lines of "Why are you staring at her, perv?" I grunted, having the wanting of gripping something in the angst I was in. "She's beautiful, Flynn..." I sighed warmly. I looked over at Flynn. He gave me eyes the size of a Voltorb (maybe even Electrodes...), quite surprised at my straight-forward comment.

I all the sudden heard a groan coming from May. I looked over to see her sitting up, rubbing her eyes whilst doing so. My heart skipped a beat... "That was just too cute..." She then looked around with curious, bright blue eyes. She failed to notice me, oddly. "Where...?" She mused before looking over to see me. Her eyes became similar to what Flynn's looked like a few minutes ago. She gripped onto the blanket and held up to her chest, almost as if I just saw her naked (well, come to think of it, the rain had made her clothes look tighter...).

"Brendan?" She squealed in surprise. I smirked at her as I then stood up. "Hey May." Flynn, however, was the first to get to her. He nudged her on the chest, making her giggle. "Manec! Manectri!" He cried in his language. My fist became white as I clutched them. Flynn was making me jealous as he nudged her. My hormones made me wish that I was in his spot. I felt my neck warm up at the thought. I was tempted to yell at him to come back but then I thought about it again. I didn't want to look like a bad trainer and/or frighten May.

"Hey buddy! Oh... I missed you too, honey!" She happily giggled. I nervelessly walked over. I knelled down to her level, sitting on a nearby cushion. Flynn lied down next to me, his tail wagging the whole time. May then gave me a concern and curious look with her sapphire blue eyes; the eyes that always sent knifes into my heart. I will always have a weak spot for the girl... "What... What happened? The last thing I-I can remember is..." Before she could finish, I finished the sentence for her. "Falling asleep next to a tree?" She nodded in agreement. "Um yes and... wait, h-how did you know?" She asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Because Flynn and I happened to find you before it started pouring. So I took you here to my secret base." I explained, making her nod. She then sniffed a runny nose... Wait, was her nose stuffy before? "Wait... S-So you carried me here?" She asked, still bit curious. "No, my Swalot flew us here..." I spoke with a high level of sarcasm. "... No. How else would I?" I commented. I saw a blush creep over her face. I loved teasing my rival... "Oh... well then... I-ah... ah... ACHOO!" She sneezed. I had never heard her sneeze but dang... it was pretty cute.

She took a deep breath. "Oh goodness. I'm freezing..." She started to rub her arms, searching for warmth. After she said that, my mind started rolling a movie called Brendan's Fantasies.

The Theater of Brendan's Mind...

"Oh goodness. I'm freezing..." My rival started to rub her arms, shivering as she did. Quickly, I grabbed Flynn's Pokeball, abruptly returning him. I didn't want him interrupting the actions I was about to make..."Hey why did you... ?" May protested. Before she could say more, I pushed my rival to the ground, pinning her beneath me. I locked her legs, making it an unavailable option to knee me. I then pinned her wrist above her head as l laughed villainously and seductively.

"B-B-Br-Brendan?" Her face was redder than a Groundon, showing she was flustered. She squirmed around in my grip. My face leaned closer in, letting my sultry breath tickle her face. "You say you're freezing? I certainly know how to warm you up, baby." I purred flirtatiously...

"Ah... ACHOO!" May's sneeze brought me back to reality. I looked back up to see May rubbing her runny nose. She actually was cold, her skin becoming pale to prove so... I knew I should of place her next to the fire... She then settled her head down on a green cushion, staring with cloudy eyes into the fire. "I'm freezing and... I-I don't feel too well..." She kvetched. "Brendan, can... can ah... ah—ACHOO!" She sneezed yet again. I then couldn't take it anymore. I crawled over, then looking down at May. I placed a hand on her forehead. Her forehead was burning, almost hot enough to make me take my hand back.

"You have a fever, May..." I grumbled. I got up, starting to pace back and forth. "She did this to herself... Why?" I thought maddened. "May... May, be more freaking careful." I partically spat at her. I heard Flynn whimper; since he evidently knew what it was like when I was mad. "You know, if I haven't of come, you being a heavy sleeper, would probably be in a state of hypothermia by now!" I snapped at her. "Brendan..." She mused, but I merely ignored her. "Or imagine if a pervert was walking on the path and saw you; unprotected and vulnerable! Or what if a wild Pokemon..." I severely huffy and angered. I never had snapped at her at all until that moment.

May inhibit me another time. "Brendan, please! Stop worrying... I'm fin—ACHOO!" Her sneeze interrupted her sentence. I clutched my fist, making my knuckles white. "No you're not! You can't even talk without sneezing!" Maybe I actually was taking it hard on her... She gaped her mouth to say something but quickly closed it. She had nothing to say, though. She snuggled into the blanket, seeking warmth. "I'm c-cold..." She mused (yet again) through the blanket that was covering her mouth. I breathed slowly, growing sick of hearing her say that.

"That's it." I mumbled grouchily. In confusion, May gave a questioning expression. "Huh...?" I stomped over to her. I then made my way to laying down beside her, sharing the blanket with her. I flipped her over by her waist, bringing her close so I could feel her heart beating against me, feeling it aflutter.. She was unresponsive—her face completely red and her sapphire eyes wide. I bashfully fondled her waist; ignoring the own redness on my face and neck. "Bren...?" May barely whispered before I held her tepid, feverish body closer.

"Just... shush. I'm trying to make you warm, May." I hissed under my breath, ignoring the pacing of my heart. She nodded as my whole body began to tingle... She didn't respond, she only snuggled closer. I could've sworn I heard Flynn chuckling, but I ignored him. "I can just get Blaziken and..." She stopped her speaking, spacing out a bit. "Oh crap... He's with dad..." Thank God... That Blaziken would throw glares at me every time we saw each other. He really did hate me for the flirt teases of mine...

"By the way, May... You're staying here till you get better." I commandingly said. I felt her body tense up. "B-But...! I need to help dad and you need to continue training..." She tried to make excuses so she wouldn't have to endure my flirting. "Your dad has... what? Three assistants? I think he'll be okay. And me? I don't need training. I'm the strongest trainer in Hoenn." I pointed out. She sighed in surrender.

Yay! Shorter than the last one, sadly... I'm probably going to do another HoennShipping next (that will have a bit of a RocksmashShipping twist. :3). I hope you guys liked this one!
