Words from the author: Hey, I'm back with another chapter! One review's enough to keep me going! Really, it was nice of the reviewer, who's going to get a HUGE mention at the end of the chapter!

Dedication: Again, this is dedicated to Ale and her newly named Minun, Voltie! Cheers!

Addition to Disclaimer: I do not own Spongebob Squarepants, but a plushie would be nice! So I don't know his word, "speckleborfed" either! Do you want to know what I do own? I own—the idea to make May a Toffee! I mean the name, not the food! I'm sure the ideas will 'come' to me while I write this! Seriously, I don't plan this AT ALL! I'm in a good mood today…Oh, while I was writing, I came up with something else that should be in here! I made Leila's name up, I have no clue if she has a real name or not. She's really a minor character in the game…

Chapter Two: Goodbyes

It was time for Brendan to start his very own pokemon adventures. At least, that was what his mom said. Brendan was eating a sundae at 'tea time' and his mom desperately wanted him out of the house. Especially since he ate the last sundae they brought with them…To be honest, there was no place to buy ice cream in Littleroot town.

Before Brendan's mom kicked him out of the house, she had a brilliant idea. First off, though, she does have a name. It's Leila, although she keeps it a secret. She likes being referred to as 'Brendan's mom'. Anyway, Leila's idea was that she would give Brendan a pair of 'running shoes'. She figured that he would get away from the house FASTER, leaving her time to mourn her beloved sundae. The last sundae, mind.

Leila gave Brendan some instructions, and then used the paper as a napkin. Brendan thought that she was crying because he was about to leave, but she was really crying for the sundae. Maybe she was also crying because she didn't hide it well enough.

Indeed, Leila knew that Brendan loved ice-cream almost as much as her! She hid it behind some vegetables thinking that Brendan would never look there. Little did she know, Brendan was craving spinach since they moved. When he saw the ice-cream, he abandoned his spinach-craze and ate the sundae instead. It was filled with chocolaty goodness, and since he and his mother hated the cherry on top, there were nuts there instead. It was truly delicious.

Before Brendan ran out of the house with his running shoes, he grabbed a big backpack and filled it with all kinds of food…When he left, Leila cried louder. Brendan felt glad that he had such a loving mother. On the other hand, Leila was cursing under her breath because all the good food was gone.

----------------------Scene change!

May was getting ready to leave the house. She knew that Professor Toffee would never be able to function on his own, so that's why she did most of the research. She went out to see the wild pokemon. She inserted the data into the computer. She was mostly responsible for his fame. The only thing her dad did was making sure the lab was clean…and decorates it with pictures of toffees from around the world…

Since Brendan was also leaving town today, she decided that maybe they could travel together for a spell. She didn't have any friends except for a certain wild poochyena, and thought that this could be her lucky break.

May ran to the town entrance where everyone else gathered to see Brendan off. Wow, he only came yesterday and he's already this popular!, she thought. Then she groaned. I've been living here forever and no one sees me like that! Honestly, only my parents were at my birthday party! Nevertheless, May put on a nice smile and walked up to Brendan.

"Hello again." She said calmly, seething with jealousy inside.

"That smile is so fake." said Brendan, smiling a genuine one. "See, a real smile is like this! You keep twitching."

May was mildly surprised. "It's not fake! THIS is a real smile!" May smiled wider.

"Let's have Caramel prove it then!" argued Brendan, releasing his Mudkip.

"I was thinking more of a milk chocolate toffee today…caramel is more for a Thursday." said the Professor, who was also standing at the entrance.

Everyone ignored that poor, misunderstood man…

At any rate, Brendan told Caramel, "Hey, which of us has a better smile? Me or...uh…what's your name again?"

"It's May. Pleased to meet you, Caramel." May was slowly getting angrier, since Brendan forgot her name and they're having a silly contest on whose smile is fake.

Caramel nodded to May, and then proceeded on picking which of them had a nicer smile. Caramel walked over to May.

"What? Speckleborf, I refuse to believe that! My smile is much better!" said Brendan angrily.

"No, mine was, and your sweet pokemon proved it." said May, grinning at the Mudkip.

"I'm leaving. I can't believe Caramel chose you!" Brendan started to walk off when the professor stopped him.

"Wait, you can't leave without the Tofeedex! And these special Toffee drops!"

"What are those?" asked Brendan.

"The Toffeedex is a special machine that I designed myself. It beeps whenever you're near a toffee source, and then explains the flavor and how much they cost. All you have to do is turn it on, and change the toffee every few weeks. Toffees work like batteries for the Toffeedex, so all you have to do is insert it in the slot there" Professor Toffee pointed to a spot on the Toffeedex. "Also, Toffee drops are like lemon drops. They're an easier way to enjoy toffees anytime and anywhere, and most pokemon love it!"

Brendan accepted the Toffee equipment and thanked the Professor repeatedly. The Professor blushed, and stepped back, leaving the entrance clear for Brendan once again.

"Wait!" said May. It was her turn to step in front of Brendan. "You need proper equipment too!"

Brendan groaned. He was already getting bored of May. She was ruining the Toffee moment. "Are you sure you're related?"

"Unfortunately, yes. Anyway, here's a Pokedex. It'll help you find pokemon and explain what they are."

"Sounds like they copied the idea from the Toffeedex." commented Brendan.

"They did not! Well, here are also five pokeballs!" said May, handing him the balls and the Pokedex.

Brendan took the balls and the Pokedex and stuffed them into his overstuffed bag.

"You had better be happy! I paid my own money for that stuff because my dad wouldn't buy them himself!" screamed May.

"They're a waste of money, how many times do I have to tell you?" Professor Toffee screamed back. "They copied off of my Toffeedex!"

"The Pokedex came first!" screamed May, before rolling her eyes.

Brendan popped a toffee drop in his mouth. "If you ask me, the Toffeedex is much more original."

"This is a family matter. Don't interfere." said May coldly.

"Interfere? Me?" Brendan grabbed a chair and sat down. He took a bag of popped popcorn out of his bag and started to eat.

"May I interest you in toffee-flavored popcorn?" asked the Professor, who had begun to ignore May.

"Toffee-flavored popcorn? Wow, you can do anything with toffee!" replied an amazed Brendan. "Of course! I must have at least two packs of that!"

"I can do better than that, my dear boy. I'll give you three!" Professor Toffee pulled out three packs out of nowhere. "You will go far, lad, I know it!"

Brendan put his unfinished bag of popcorn away.

"I'm still here! How could you just ignore me like this?" demanded May, who had lost her cool attitude.

"Oh, who are you?" asked Brendan.

May began to sweat. "I'm May, pleased to meet you."

"Hello May! It's my pleasure!"

May groaned. I definitely don't want to travel with him!, she thought.

"Hey, do you want to travel with me till we get to the next town?" asked Brendan.

"Just until there then. I have to run an errand for my dad, so I'm going that way anyway."

Suddenly, Professor Toffee was holding up two flags with Brendan and Caramel's faces on them. "Pokemon fight, pokemon fight!" he chanted.

May's eyes lit up. "Yes, a pokemon fight! How could I forget? Go, Treeko!"

"Now? But I'm behind schedule! I'll never finish the trail mix in time for dinner…"

"Just take out Caramel! Again!" said May, who realized that Brendan did take Caramel out but returned it without her knowing.

"Fine…Go, Caramel! Make it quick, or we won't be able to have our snacks before dinner!"

That was enough for a pep talk. Caramel looked truly confident. "Make the first attack! 'Tackle'!"

"Dodge and pound, Treeko!"

"Don't let it dodge!"

Caramel succeeded in tackling the Treeko, and Treeko pounded the Mudkip.

"'Tackle'"

"'Pound'"

"'Tackle'"

"'Pound'"

After a few moments of this, Brendan began to get bored. "Use 'tackle', and put all your hungry thoughts into it!"

Caramel did so, and Treeko fainted.

"Y-you won…Congratulations…" said May, who was sorely disappointed.

"Thank you! I am the best! Well, I'm leaving now, you coming?" asked Brendan.

Everyone at the town entrance said goodbye to Brendan. Then they glanced at May and hastily said 'Bye' to her as well.

Brendan then turned to May. "Who are you again?"

End of Chapter Two

Here's my number one, and only, reviewer for this story! I'd like to award Twisted Alyx for good sportsmanship and fun…ness! Here's my reply to her review!

To Twisted Alyx: You can tell this is my first shipping story huh? Nope, I don't believe in love at first sight, so I won't do that to you! I'm also not really following the game plot, and just writing random things and hoping it makes sense. And I really mean the hoping part! I'm glad you liked the professor, I like him too! He's my toffee-based hero! Anyway, I can't believe that I keep making the same grammar mistakes in every one of my stories! It's always with the tenses, what is wrong with me? Ah well, it comes with being so…me-ish…haha, let's go with that! Maybe they'll be some romance soon…I'll have to see, I'm not much of a romantic. I agree with you, it's more fun when it's Brendan as the main character! I read some fics too, with Brendan and May, and they were mostly centered on May! How did you know he had a short attention span? I was putting more of his character into this chapter! You must be…psychic!

Did I really make you laugh? I didn't think the first one was too funny…this one isn't either…Maybe I'll get started on the real fun soon! Just wait, I'll have much more random ideas next time!

I would love to email you! You can email me too! I'll get back to you on that! Oh, and thanks for reviewing, you really made my day when I first saw it! Thanks again, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

And to complete my Reviewer spotlight, here's the actual review for everyone to marvel at!

Ooh, yay! Hoenshippy! I love the Hoenshippy!

...Ahem I mean...

Well, as you can probably tell... I LURVE Brendan and May and I will be your eternal advocate with this fic. In other words, DON'T HESITATE TO EMAIL ME:wink: Just kidding. Well, you can if you want to, but... Whatever. Review time.

Overall, it wasn't bad. You made me laugh out loud and make the people at school look at me like I'm crazy... which I am, of course. Woohoo.

You did make some grammar mistakes, like "Brendan was really looking forward to his new house, because he heard that there was a professor living in the town, so maybe he'll get a pokemon." It should be "so maybe HE'D get a pokemon." Just watch out with verb forms: make sure you don't mix past tense with present tense. Other than that, grammar looks fine.

I like Professor Toffee though. Mweeheehee. He's so cool and insane-like. I also LOVE that you have Brendan as the main character instead of May. Oh fun, and Brendan evidently has a short attention span. He just isn't a fun character unless he's dumb as a doornob, don't you agree? Hee hee.

I also see you've managed to warp the typical begining scene for most Hoennshippies... Kay... Pretty funny, nice and zany, but PLEASE don't stick to the ruby/sapphire game plot to the T, PLEASE! I can't tell you how much I hate it. (You aren't yet, don't worry! I'm warning, not reprimanding.) Everybody with ruby or sapphire already knows that plot, and most of those people are the Hoennshippers who will read this.

Oh, and one other piece of advice: make sure Brendan and May don't do that "love at first sight" thing. Think realistically about relationships and your romance fics will soar. ;)

That's all for now. Take care, and keep writting! (This is interesting so far!)

Luv,
Twisted Alyx
