The last little part in this chapter turns from Brendan's point of view to Normal point of view. I hope you enjoy. :)

I, Snowy The Sky Wolf, do not own Pokémon, or any of it's characters.

The rain was still falling. It hasn't even let up for a bit.

"I recommend that we all seek shelter from this rain so we all don't get sick," Steven says, trying to convince everyone again. But that trick isn't going to work on me.

"Mister Steven, please let me wait for her a little while longer..." I begged.

"Well, alright. It won't be my fault if you get a serious cold, though."

Tsk. If I do get a cold, you wouldn't know how much I'd want May to take care of me.

Flashback

As I exited the large department store of Lilycove City, my eyes were immediately drawn to the sight of May.

"Oh hey, Brendan! Doing some shopping, weren't you?"

"Yeah," I reply. "B-but I wasn't buying dolls or anything!"

"Sure," May jokes, rolling her eyes. "I know you have a Secret Base. You have to show me someday!"

"I plan to," I mention. "So, you here to do some shopping too?"

"No, actually... I'm here to try a contest. A bit of a change, you know?" May explains. "If you want, you can watch..."

Okay, I almost thought that I saw a dash of red on her face. It must've been my imagination...

"S-sure, I'll watch you perform. I wish you luck," I stutter, almost losing my cool.

"Thanks! Let's go!" May smiles.

She ended up winning first place in that Contest Spectacular with her Altaria.

And really, she looked really cute in that pink dress of hers too.

Flashback End

The rain clouds above Sootopolis suddenly exploded into green particles that started falling upon me. ...Was it... Over?

"She actually did it..." Archie mumbles to himself.

If she has finished her task, then why isn't she out here yet? She couldn't have gotten hurt during those tremors... I hope not.

"Where is she? Where's May?" I ask urgently. I couldn't take the anticipation anymore.

"I don't know, Brendan. I'm sure she'll be back soo-" Steven tries to say, but he was interrupted by large doors creaking open.

Wait, what?

Standing at the doors was none other than May herself, completely unscathed.

May laughed, as nothing had happened. "I told you I'd be fine, didn't I?"

My heartbeat started slowing down as I regained a sense of calmness. I'm so glad she's safe...

"Thank you, May. You have saved Hoenn from great danger," Steven says. "However, in more short-term matters... We should probably get dried up."

"Haha, yeah," May chuckles, finally realizing that she and everyone else was soaked with water.

I watched as all the adults walked away, until it was just me and May left. I involuntarily hugged her out of my own free will, which surprised her quite a bit. I hope no one saw that.

"I'm glad that you're safe, May."

"Brendan, you're all wet too. Did you seriously wait for me in that rain?"

"I did," I chuckled. "Everyone will get sick now thanks to me."

"...Thanks to you?"

"Ah, never mind what I said," I pulled away from the hug and took a step back. I really didn't want her to know that I begged all the adults to stay out here for her.

"You know May, I'm glad that I met you. Ever since I met you, I've gotten stronger and more knowledgeable with Pokemon."

But I know I'm not strong enough yet...

"I'm glad I met you too," May says sweetly. "You really did change my point of view on a lot of things."

"I think I'm going to go back to Littleroot. So I can go get another change of clothes," I laugh. "I'll see you tomorrow. Right?"

"Yes," May replies.

"See ya, May!" I ran away from the brunette girl, all while scolding myself on the inside.

I had a chance there! We were both were alone...

I sigh.

Someday, I'll have the courage to truly tell you how I feel.

...

May sighs and crosses her arms in disbelief. "I can't believe boys can be so clueless sometimes!"

She watches Brendan run away from where she stood, almost to the point where she can barely see him anymore.

"I love you too, Brendan."

That's the end of the two planned chapters that I have. I'm thinking of writing a third chapter as well, but it's not certain. Please review if you liked this short fanfiction! Maybe if there's enough good reviews I'll write the third chapter...
