First Journey

They left the hotel and the Indigo Plateau behind and headed off towards Viridian city. Ash and May walked side by side holding hands with Pikachu on Ash's left shoulder and Eevee on May's right so she can then be close to Pikachu. They soon arrived in Viridian city but they didn't stay there long as they walked up through the city to Viridian forest and towards Pewter city. "Ash when can we stop for lunch? I'm hungry" May moaned as she was getting hungry. Just then Ash's stomach growled and he stated simply, "Now" So the two of the stopped in the forest and began to eat the sandwiches Brock and Delia had made for them.

With lunch eaten Eevee had returned to her Poké ball and they soon arrived in Pewter city but continued on to Mount moon. By the time they reached mount moon it was getting dark so they found a clearing and began to set up camp. Ash began by putting the tents up while May began making a fire for them to cook on and to keep warm by. May had soon set the fire up and sat on a nearby log. As Ash grabbed a pan to get some water with Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and bounded into May's lap, curled up and fell asleep.

"Looks like he's going to stay with you May" Ash stated.

"Yep ah well he's sleeping now" May laughed.

"Ok I'm off to get the water be back soon" Ash said as he left while May was still petting him.

Ash was soon on his way back from the stream Ash saw a giant mechanical hand fly from team rocket's balloon and grab Pikachu right out of May's lap. Out of shock May couldn't react. Ash on the other hand placed the pan on the ground managing not to spill any and then ran after team rocket and tried to jump up onto the mechanical hand but peaked just short of it and fell to the ground.

Ash cooked dinner managing to hold his tears back. He also managed to hold back the tears as they ate dinner and while they were cleaning up.

Sitting by the fire with no Pikachu seemed strange to Ash as Pikachu was always curled up next to him but tonight he wasn't there but he kept looking down. Noticing this May couldn't help but feel it was her fault and said, "Ash I'm sorry I should have done something"

"May it wasn't your fault you were in shock I should have been quicker" Ash said and with that the tears which he had managed to hold back for most of the night came flying out like waterfalls. May pulled Ash into a hug as she tried to comfort him. Trying to comfort him she said, "Pikachu will be fine, we'll find him don't worry, we'll find him"

"Thanks May, I needed that" Ash said pulling away from the hug.

A while later the fire burnt itself out and the two of them went to bed. After about an hour Ash woke to find he was in a forest but he wasn't alone, May, Pikachu and Drew were there. May and Drew where holding hands and Pikachu was on May's shoulder the three of them started walking away from Ash.

Before turning around May stated, "Ash you are worthless, you couldn't even save Pikachu from team rocket so how are you going to defend me from anyone."

Ash tried to go after them but for some reason the closer he got they seemed to always be a big distance ahead of him. Ash stopped and called out, "No please don't go please don't leave me"

Outside of his nightmare Ash was getting restless tossing and turning every which way. Ash was also calling out, "No please don't go, please don't leave me".

Woken up by the sounds of Ash's calling, May sighed to herself understandingly, "Oh Ash" Knowing she couldn't let him suffer from this nightmare she crawled out her tent and went into his to wake him up.

When she arrived May tried to shake Ash awake but it didn't work. She then tried to softly call his name but that didn't work either, so she moved to her final resort and she kissed him. Ash woke up instantly as he was feeling something on his lips but nothing was happening in the dream for this to happen.

Before Ash had time to say anything May swiftly said, "Ash you had a nightmare"

"Oh so you're not leaving me for Drew" Ash asked.

"No I would never do that why do you ask anyway"

"Well in my nightmare you were holding hands with Drew with Pikachu on your shoulder and you started walking away from me after you said I was worthless due to the fact I couldn't save Pikachu from team rocket." Ash explained as he began crying again.

Once again May pulled Ash into a hug and comforted him again saying, "Ash you should know Pikachu would never leave you especially after everything you have been through together as for me I love you"

Ash sat up and yawned. May saw him yawn and ordered, "Right back to bed you" With Ash sleeping once again May got her sleeping bag from her tent and brought it into Ash's tent and slept by his side in case he had another nightmare but the rest of the night was peaceful.

Ash awoke next morning by the smell of food hitting his nostrils. Ash sat up got dressed and went outside to see May cooking breakfast. "Morning Ash" she smiled when she saw him.

"Morning May" Ash greeted back but still not with his 100% happy voice.

Once they had eaten what May had cooked and packed up they set off in the direction in which the balloon took off in.

It didn't take long for them to find the hideout as Team rocket noticed them, grabbed and tied them up and put them either end of a room in the hideout with Pikachu in a cage in the middle of the room. Once team rocket had left the room and were on the phone May put her plan into action, she released Eevee and got Eevee to chew through the ropes that her arms were tied up in. Once Eevee had done so May untied her legs, returned Eevee and quietly got up. Once she was up she headed over to Ash quickly kissed him and then untied him. Ash whispered to May, "Wait by the door" Which she did. Ash then crept over to Pikachu's cage and said, "Let's get you out of there" And opened the cage. Pikachu then hopped onto Ash's shoulder and they met May over by the door and they left.

They began to walk down the hill as it started to get dark luckily up ahead in front of them was a cave. Ash began to find fire wood while May began to set the sleeping bags. As Ash was making his way back to the cave Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and ran off deep into the cave. As she saw this May called out to him, "Don't go too far Pikachu"

"He'll be fine May he can look after himself" Ash said calmly. Ash also took the chance of telling May his idea for getting Pikachu and Eevee together, "Well my idea May is to slowly get them together by having them travelling side by side and go from there as it will also strengthen our bond"

Soon Pikachu came running back to the humans and Cried out, "Pika Pi Pikachu Pika Pi Pika"

"Ok buddy slow down and lead the way" Ash said calmly as he followed Pikachu further into the cave. As they reached what Pikachu had found Ash gasped he then ran back to get May and pack up their bits.

"May quickly come and check this out" Ash cried as he got close to her. May got up and quickly followed Ash further into the cave as they reached the object again May gasped, "Wow a hot spring"

"So May how about we go grab our stuff and bring it down here by the hot spring" Ash suggested.

"Yeah I like that idea Ash" May replied so the two of them ran up to where they had originally set up camp grabbed the sleeping bags and cooking gear and ran back down to the hot spring and where Pikachu was waiting for them. May began to cook dinner once fire had been lit. Pikachu had jumped into the hot spring and began to relax while Ash laid down next to where May was and fell asleep.

Half an Hour later Ash was woken up by May calling him. "Hey May what's up?" Ash asked.

"Dinners ready"

"Oh ok"

Ash sat up and May passed him a plate full of food. "Thanks May" Ash said as he took the plate of food and began to eat it.

Once they had eaten dinner and washed up Ash and Pikachu jumped into the hot Spring. May asked, "Ash, Pikachu could you turn round while I get changed and NO peeping"

Ash and Pikachu did as they were asked and turned around and neither of them looked until May said, "OK guys you can turn round again" a few minutes later. When they turned round May was in the hot spring along with Eevee. The four of them played and bathed in the hot spring for a while before May started to get tired so the four of them went to sleep.

During the night May woke up and was spooked by a howling noise that was coming from around them so she woke Ash up.

"Ash" She called until he woke up, once he was awake she asked, "Can I sleep with you as there's a howling noise in the cave"

"It's probably the wind"

"But it's cold too"

"Ok open up your sleeping bag"

So May did so. Ash also opened his out so Ash's sleeping bag was on the bottom then Ash and May laid on top of it with Pikachu and Eevee in between them and May's sleeping bag went over the top of them.

Next morning Ash woke up first so he started breakfast for the four of them. The smell soon made its way round the cave to May who woke up along with Pikachu and Eevee. May got up and sat next to Ash who at the moment in time was busy making sure the breakfast wasn't burnt. When Ash wasn't busy May grabbed hold of Ash's face and kissed him good morning. Once May had kissed him he plated up her breakfast sorted out Pikachu and Eevee's breakfast and then plated up the rest for himself and ate it himself. Once he, May, Pikachu and Eevee had eaten up he washed up put out the fire packed up and the four of them headed back down the hill and headed towards Cerulean city.

A few hours later they arrived in Cerulean city. When they got there they went to the Pokémon center where they rung Professor Oak.

"Hello Ash and May I was wondering when you would ring, How was the prom?" Professor Oak asked.

"It was great Professor" They excitedly informed together.

"Good I'm glad to hear it apparently according to your mother Ash something happened what was it?"

"May and I are in a relationship" Ash stated proudly.

"Nice, well done to both of you, both of you have certainly picked someone who will take care of you, now what can I do for you two?" Oak asked.

"Could you send us our Pokémon Professor" they asked.

"Of course who would you like?"

"Could you send me: Blaziken, Glaceon, Wortortle, Munchlax and Beautifly?" May asked and Professor Oak sent them through the transporter. Once they had arrived May thanked Professor Oak and Ash began his list, "Professor could you send me: Infernape, Sceptile, Corphish, Swellow and Snorlax?" Ash asked.

Professor Oak placed them all into the transporter and they all arrived. Ash thanked Professor and disconnected the call. The two of them then had lunch in the Pokémon center before head south towards Saffron city.

On the route to Saffron City May and Ash walked hand in hand as they had done since they left the ball. Pikachu was on Ash's left shoulder as always while Eevee stayed in her Poké ball.

"So Ash do you think we will have to camp out tonight?" May asked.

"No I don't think so May, babe as we should reach Saffron City by sundown" Ash replied.

The Sun soon began to set. "Oh no, it's getting dark" May exclaimed.

"Not to worry look there's Saffron city" Ash stated.

When they reached Saffron city Pokémon center it was dark. They walked up to nurse joy and asked for a room, Nurse Joy took them up to a room. The two pair dropped off their belongings, May brought Eevee out of her Poke ball and the two trainers headed down for dinner.

For dinner Ash ate Chicken, vegetables and potato while May had Chicken and rice, Pikachu had a bottle of ketchup and Eevee ate the Pokémon food that May set up for her.

"Hey Ash" May began

"Yeah"

"Can you remember the first time we stayed in a Pokémon center together just the two of us?" Upon hearing this and begin forgotten Pikachu stopped licking the top of the bottle of ketchup he had and stared across at May.

"You mean three of us May" Ash added, "Pikachu was there as well"

"Yeah sorry Pikachu" May apologized. Pikachu calmed down and began licking his ketchup bottle again.

"Yes of course I do, you were just beginning your Pokémon journey with your newly acquired Torchic only when you tried to battle an Azuril with it we ran into a Maril and Azumaril as well and the three of them used Water gun on Torchic so Pikachu and I had to jump in and scare them away by using Thunderbolt. We then rushed here so Torchic could be restored." Ash replied, "Plus when I tried to find out about the new Petalburg gym you pulled me away because you were 'starved'"

Both Ash and May laughed at the last bit of Ash's sentence.

"Don't forget we also had our first encounter with Team Magma that night too and I found out how clever Pikachu was" May added.

With dinner eaten and stomachs full Ash, May, Pikachu and Eevee all headed back upstairs to hopefully get some sleep before the last part of the long trip to Vermillion city.

Just as they were going to sleep there was a loud bang. The two trainers woke with a start.

"What was that?" May asked.

"I don't know better go have a look" Ash replied as he began to run out the door with Pikachu on his shoulder.

They both rushed downstairs and found Team rocket in there balloon sucking up all the Poké balls in the centers storage section.

"What now!" Ash called up to team rocket.

"Prepare for trouble, and make it double, to protect the world from devastation, to unite all peoples with in our nation, to denounce the evils of truth and love, to extend our reach to the stars above, Jessie, James, Team rocket blast off at the speed of light, surrender now or prepare to fight, Meowth that's right, Wobbuffet, Mime, Mime, Mime." Team rocket stated as they went through their motto.

"Ash they have all of the Pokémon that are being treated in the Pokémon center" May exclaimed.

"And we are going to have Pikachu just to sweeten things off" Meowth said.0

Meowth turned the mighty sucking machine towards Pikachu and he was sucked off Ash's shoulder into the crate below team rockets balloon basket.

"You managed to steal Pikachu once but it's not happening again!" Ash cried up at team rocket then grabbing a Poké ball from his belt he called, "Go Infernape" A large ape like creature with a brownish-red colour body and tail, with sections of white fur on its chest, heard and legs with fire burning from its head, blue fingers and toes. It also had two gold chest rings in place of a chest plate along with swirls-patterned gold shoulder and knee pads and wrist bands.

"Infernape" He cried as he appeared I a flash of white light.

"GO Blaziken" May cried throwing a Poké ball. A Red bipedal Pokémon with beige feathers at the back of its head which extended down that surround its chest and abdomen. It had yellow markings like fire beginning at its feet rising to just below its knees. Its lower arms and claws were grey.

"Blaziken" he cried as he appeared in a flash of white light.

"Alright let's go Double flamethrower both of you" Ash and May called out.

Both Pokémon used their flamethrower attack and hit the bottom of the crate.

"Water Pokémon" Ash stated to May, "GO Corphish" throwing his poke ball. A small Orange Lobster like creature with six small thin legs and two large pincers at the front. The top half of its body was Orange while the underside of its body and its pincers were cream. On its head were saucer like eyes with dot like pupils. On the very top of its head it had three spikes. It also had a short lobster like tail.

"GO Wortortle" May cried throwing her poke ball. A bipedal, indigo blue creature two sharp teeth protruding for its upper jaw with three clawed fingers on each hand and three pointed toes on each foot. A very light blue, almost white, fur covering it's ears and tail. All of this was protruding from a Shell which had a pale yellow underside with a white trim separating it from the darker brown upper side. Its brown eyes glared at team rocket.

"Wortortle use Water gun" May cried.

As the attack hit the bottom of the crate the crate began to crack.

"Ash it's cracking" May stated.

"Right Sceptile leaf blade" Ash called to Sceptile. A Green Lizard like creature appeared it had two crests in its head which was connected to the body by a long neck. Its yellow eyes were semi-circular in shape. It had a red lower jaw and a red belt like band across its waist. There was also a thin stripe across its chest in a v like shape at bottom of its neck. Along its back where six seeds. It had a palm tree like tail. Near its wrists were two leaves which stuck out. On its hand it had three sharp claws which would allow it to climb. Sceptile jumped and his two leaves that are on the end of his arms grew and curved round, they also glowed a very light green as Sceptile charged up his attack.

Sceptile hit the crack and it cracked even more.

"Time to finish this from the inside, Buddy use Iron tail" Ash called out.

"CHUU Pika" Pikachu cried as he used an iron tail but it did nothing.

"Ok fine, Sceptile throw Corphish"

"Cor" Corphish cried with shock.

"But Ash you know Corphish doesn't like flying." May said as she tried to stop him but it was too late.

"COrphiiiishhh" Corphish cried as he was sent hurtling through the air claw and legs waving like crazy.

"Corphish use crab hammer on the crate" Ash cried.

As Corphish got close to the crate he struck it with cab hammer and was sent flying down towards the ground the other side crying, "Corphish"

Ash returned Corphish just in time as he was about to hit the floor.

The crack on the bottom of the crate opened up and the crate snapped, all the Poké balls fell to the floor and Pikachu was able to jump into Ash's arms.

"Why does nothing ever go our way?" James cried as he watched their haul fall to the floor.

"Because of the Twerps always mess thing up" Jessie stated, "Go Seviper" A serpentine like creature that was mostly black, but had several markings on its body. It had yellow hexagon markings that run from its head to its tail, and various purple scar-like marks. It had elongated red fangs that protrude from its upper jaw and fierce red eyes. Its tail is partially red and has a blade-like shape.

"GO Carnivine" James cried. A creature that looked like a Venus Fly trap, with circular eyes and small pupils. It had red and green vines attached to the end of its yellow and green-spotted stem. It had leaves for arms, and appeared to have three leafy fingers, and as usual Carnivine bit James on the head. James managed to get Carnivine off and was ready to battle.

"Ok Infernape use Flare blitz on Carnivine" Ash cried. Infernape launched his attack and struck dead on Carnivine was unable to battle.

"Wortortle use Bubble and Blaziken use Fire Spin on Seviper" May cried.

"Seviper counter it with Haze" Jessie cried.

"Now use Poison tail of Wortortle, Seviper" Jessie cried.

"Wortortle dodge and use Aqua tail" May cried. Wortortle jumped left and powered up Aqua tail and launched it at Seviper. Seviper was hit but not taken out.

"Follow up with Blaze kick Blaziken" May cried.

Blaziken jumped and as he fell blaze kick activated smashing straight in to Seviper, Seviper was unable to battle.

"I think somebody needs a bath" May teased.

"Don't look at me" Ash retorted.

"I meant them not you" May laughed.

"Oh right, ok, Go Corphish"

"Cor" Corphish said looking around to make sure he was on the floor. Once he found he was he let out a big sigh of relief.

"Alright Corphish Bubble beam" Ash cried.

"Wortortle use Aqua tail" May cried.

Both Pokémon launched their attacks and hit team rocket. They were now soaked.

"Hey what do you think you're trying to do to my hair?" Jessie screamed.

"Oh I'm sorry let me fix that by drying it for you, Blaziken Flamethrower" May said.

Team rocket were now as dry as a bone.

"Are you trying to give me split ends?!" Jessie screamed.

"OH I'm sorry allow me to fix that, Wortortle aqua tail"

Team rocket were soaked again.

Dripping wet James cried, "Make up your mind!"

Before it went any further Ash stepped in, "May I think that's enough, buddy quick attack followed up by Iron tail"

Pikachu ran forward using quick attack and then launched Team rocket into the air with Iron tail.

"Now time to finish this Thunderbolt"

"Pika Chuuu" Pikachu cried as he launched an almighty thunderbolt.

Time rocket were thrown further away and blasted off shouting, "Looks like team rocket's blasting off again!"

With the battle over Ash and May went back off up to bed and slept for the rest of the night.

Early next morning Ash and May woke up and had breakfast in the canteen. With breakfast eaten they thanked Nurse Joy and head south towards Vermillion city to catch the ferry to Littleroot town.

When they arrived in Vermillion city they headed to the Pokémon center to have everyone rested from the night before. With the Pokémon healed and restored they headed off towards the port. As they arrived at the port Ash and May headed to buy their ferry tickets.

"Good Morning and how can I help you?" the ticket sales woman asked.

"One ticket to Hoenn please?" Ash asked.

"Certainly" she said handing Ash his ticket.

May stepped up to the desk and asked, "One ticket to Hoenn please?" handing over what money she had.

"I'm sorry but this isn't enough for the ticket" the Sale woman stated.

"It's ok May take your money back I'll get it for you." Ash stated. As he handed over the amount the ticket cost.

"The boat leaves at noon" the sales woman stated.

"Ok and thank you" the two friends said.

As they walked down the dock towards the ferry May said, "Thanks Ash"

"No worries" he replied.

They got onto the boat and got to a cabin which they were given by the sales woman. The placed most of their belongings in it and then headed off towards the canteen on the boat to have lunch, while the boat left for Hoenn.

Once they got food and sat down May asked, "Ash how long do you think it will take to get to Hoenn?"

"At most two day's" he replied.

"Well if we have to days together on the boat we may as well make the most of it." She stated.

Ash just looked at May confused.

"I was thinking we can do some training" May explained.

"Well I was thinking on relaxing on the boat but then train when we hit Hoenn and then again on Sinnoh" Ash stated.

May looked disappointed and explained, "Well I want to train Eevee up a bit before we go to Sinnoh."

"Ok I'll tell you what let's relax today and train tomorrow, how does that sound?" Ash suggested giving in.

"Yay" May squealed with excitement.

"Right now we have had lunch let's go and relax by the pool and maybe go for a swim in the pool" Ash said getting up from the table.

The two of them headed back towards the cabin to get changed and then headed off the pool. Pikachu was still on Ash's shoulder while May had come out and joined them on May's shoulder.

Out by the pool May and sat in a chair beside the pool trying not to get too while Ash and Pikachu made a massive splash as they jumped into the pool. The splash that they made hit May and Eevee who cried out, "Ash!"

"Yes May sweetie"

"Did you have to make such a big splash when you hit the water babe?"

"Sorry but now your wet you may as well join us in the pool"

"Yeah I might as well as I'm in my bathing suit" May replied and jumped in landing right next to Ash covering him in the splash she made while Eevee jumped in and covered Pikachu with a splash of her own.

"Hey" Ash called soaking wet.

"That's me getting my own back" May said as she swam towards him, when she reached him she kissed him on the cheek.

Ash blushed and went under water to try and hide it from May but she saw it and grabbed his foot as he went down and his head resurfaced. He requested she let go of his foot which she did.

After a while of playing in the pool with the Pokémon they got out, dried off and headed back to the cabin to properly dry off and get dressed ready for dinner in the canteen.

May was ready but Ash hadn't got changed.

"What's up babe?" May asked.

"I'm going to have a shower you go on I'll meet you in the canteen." Ash said.

"Ok" May replied and left the room. Ash went and had his shower came back got dressed and headed to the canteen with Pikachu on his shoulder.

When he arrived in the canteen he looked around for May but couldn't find her anywhere.

"Over here Ash!" May called waving her arms franticly so he would see her. Ash suddenly looked in front of him and the sound of her voice and saw her waving her arms. He nodded so she would stop waving and headed towards her.

He set Pikachu down next to her and Eevee before heading off to get his food. Ash came back minutes later with a plate of chips, jelly filed doughnuts and an Oran berry flavored muffin.

"Well the chips and jelly filled doughnuts are obvious but who's the Oran berry flavored muffin for Ash?" May asked

"Pikachu of course, I'm not going to eat and let him starve" Ash stated.

"That's the Ash I know and love, always putting others and Pokémon before himself" she said to herself.

"Ash I was wondering do you think you could tell Eevee and I some stories of your travels?" May asked.

"Why yes of course babe, but which stories would you like to hear?" Ash replied.

May picked out some of his travels some she had heard before but she wanted to hear them again. As they sat there and on their way back to the cabin and as they were trying to sleep Ash and Pikachu told the stories, the last adventure was like a bedtime story.

Next day they woke up, got dressed and had breakfast and decided to do some training on deck. They reached the field and May sent Eevee out while Ash sent out Corphish.

"Corphish" Corphish cried as he appeared.

"Ok Corphish I know you won't like what I'm about to say but let's lighten the attacks as we don't want to harm Eevee do we."

"Corphish" stated raising one claw to salute Ash.

"Right let's start things off, Light bubble beam"

Corphish began the attack but it was much lighter than usual.

"Eevee counter that with Shadow ball" May cried.

Eevee launched he shadow ball right at the bubble beam and hit a direct hit causing a small explosion as they collided.

Team rocket who were hiding around the corner in crew member disguise watched Ash and May practice battle putting their plan together. "Right here is the plan we tell the twerps that they are only allowed one Pokémon on deck and tell him to give us Pikachu" Meowth explained. "Sounds like a plan" James replied. "Then we'll give it to the boss and get big promotions" Jessie exclaimed. With the plan finalized they then emerged.

James stated, "One Pokémon per trainer allowed on deck"

Jessie picked up, "So just pass us your Pikachu and we shall take care of it"

"We weren't told of this were we May" Ash asked while Pikachu sat on the floor facing the battlefield and Eevee. As May and Ash had a conversation about it team rocket grabbed for Pikachu by, his closest available area to them, his tail. As they grabbed his tail Pikachu let out a massive thunderbolt attack nearly hitting Ash but it made Team rockets costumes fly off.

May pointed and Ash turned round and then May ran up to Ash as they cried, "Team Rocket"

"Pikachu" Pikachu cried.

"Eevee return" May said holding Eevee's Poké ball. Then throwing another one she called, "Go Blaziken"

"Corphish let's do it"

"Go Seviper" Jessie cried throwing a Poké ball.

"Go Carnivine" James cried and as usual he got bit on the head. "OW not me the twerps" he cried as he got him off.

"Seviper use poison tail on Corphish" Jessie cried.

"Corphish block it with harden and then vice grip." Ash retorted.

"Blaziken use flamethrower."

"Carnivine use bullet seed to counter it."

As Seviper closed in on Corphish he raised his defense and then as Seviper's tail came round he grabbed in and didn't let go.

"Seviper get it off with Haze" Jessie cried.

Seviper used Haze and Corphish let go.

"Now Seviper Poison fang"

Seviper launched at Seviper with fangs glowing purple with poison only instead of hitting her original target because of the Haze she went straight into Ash's arm and bite it unleashing a powerful poison into it. Ash fell to the floor immediately. After seeing that Ash had fell and saw Seviper nearby May soon put it together and was fuming, "How dare you poison my boyfriend" she screamed at team rocket.

"Uh oh" James and Meowth gulped as they had seen May like this before and knew what the ending was going to be.

"Blaziken use Overheat on Carnivine and then Blaze kick on Seviper" May cried.

Launching the Overheat attack Carnivine didn't have any time to dodge and was unable to continue. Then with Carnivine out Blaziken jumped and smashed his blazing foot into Seviper's head knocking her out to.

Pikachu who was also fuming at team rocket for poisoning his trainer unleashed a massively powerful thunderbolt attack on them without being given an order from Ash or May which caused team rocket to blast off crying, "Looks like team rockets blasting off again."

With the battle over May returned Corphish and asked Blaziken to carry Ash to the cabin as he was too heavy for her to carry herself.

Once in the cabin Blaziken laid Ash down on his bed and was thanked by May and then returned to his Poké ball. Pikachu jumped up onto the bed and curled up beside Ash hoping he would be ok while May knelt down beside Ash's bed and cried herself to sleep repeating, "Ash I'm so sorry"

Hours later Ash awoke and found Pikachu curled up beside him and May sleeping knelt on the floor. He thought it was rather uncomfortable and got out of bed and carefully picked her up and placed her in her own bed before tucking her in. he kissed her on the forehead before he went out for some air as he was feeling hot and sweaty.

Upon arriving outside he could see it was still light and found the air quite cooling and the sounds of the waves crashing rather relaxing but the fact the poison was still in his body sent a chill down his spine. He didn't have a clue as to what he could do but he knew one person who could so Ash decided to ring Brock who was still in Kanto.

Ash stood on the phone waiting for about five minutes before Brock picked up and sleepily greeted, "Hi Ash"

"Sorry if I woke you brock but I need your help" Ash stated.

"What's up?" Brock asked.

"Well…" Ash began and explained the whole thing to Brock on the phone, "So what can I do?" he finally asked.

"Well Ash what you need is a Pecha berry, I think for a human you should need about two for it to have any effect but I'm not sure if it will do anything much but I can only say that it will defiantly slow the poisons effect down." Brock explained.

"Thanks Brock" Ash said. Ash went back to the cabin and looked through his bag and found two Pecha berries and ate them. They tasted sweet.

May awoke to the sound of eating and asked, "Ash babe you up" May squealed with excitement and ran over to him and wrapped her arms around him. This woke Pikachu up who squealed with excitement too and ran and jumped into his arms as May had let go. Once everything had calmed down May asked, "What are you doing?"

"Well I am doing as Brock said and eating two Pecha berries to slow down the poison." He explained.

"OK" May said and went back to sleep.

Ash climbed back into bed and fell to sleep himself.
