May and I arrived at the Sky Pillar. I remember this building clearly. Having to go up that entire building, even though it was quite easy. It just took a while, and I really didn't like to wait that long. Plus the whole tale of Groudon and Kyogre and Rayquaza didn't really help with my boredom. I have to admit though, getting history lessons with pokemon sounds a lot more interesting than the normal history lessons we get at school. At least it'll be quicker going through the tower this time than it was before. Though I don't see those Ascension guys anywhere. Did we beat them here, or are they already going through the tower?
"Where's Team Ascension? Did we beat them here?" May asked, taking the words right out of my mouth, or thoughts. Either one works.
"Yeah, I was just about to ask the same thing," I replied, "We may have beat them here but we should still hurry. They can catch up any minute now."
"Alright, let's go!" May said, with that look of excitement on her face. That expression brings back so many memories for me, I never thought that I could remember that much from one simple expression, or anything really. We both walk into the Sky Pillar, and I immediately ask May, "Do you by chance know your way around here at all?"
"Not really." She answered.
"Alright, well stick by me then, I guess. It's easy to get through but it actually is possible to get lost, believe it or not."
"I assume you're speaking from experience?" She laughed quietly.
"Yep. I can get myself lost nearly anywhere it seems." I said.
"Yeah, I can tell." She smiled at me, but this was more of a smile in which I know that she's secretly laughing at me. Quite easy to tell, since we've known each other for 4 years now. Also, with me l-actually, I'll save that for later.
"Welp, now I know my way around I guess. So we should probably start climbing the tower."
As we climbed up the tower, we had plenty of things to talk about. Such as, for example, our pokedexes.
"So how many entries do you have?" May asked me.
"Let me check real quick..." I brought out my pokedex and checked. "About 150."
"Hah, I beat you by 10!" May exclaimed. Jeez, what a showoff.
"Oh shush, we still have a long way to go with catching pokemon. There are, what, 700 something of them?"
"Yep! I think we both need to take a trip to the other regions. Maybe then will you actually get more than me!" Yeah, okay. Maybe I should just keep going slow and May will complete the pokedex for me, and I can act like I helped quite a bit with it. Not like I'm gonna tell her that though.
"How do you plan on getting to every other region?" I asked her. "That's gonna cost a lot."
"I can just use the money I got from-woah!" The tile she was under suddenly broke off. May would've fell but I caught her hand just before. I then proceeded to pull her up, like any other person would do, of course.
"Jeez, this place is getting old." I said to sorta lighten the mood. "They might need an architect or something to help repair this place up a bit!"
"Yeah, I guess they do..." She replied. I don't think she got the fact that what I said was supposed lighten the mood, but whatever. "Thanks for, you know, making sure I don't fall." She continued as we both looked at each other. I don't really know why, but we both sorta stood there for a couple of seconds before May broke off the staring contest.
"Alright, we're almost to the top. We should hurry it up." She said.
"...Yeah, we sorta do need to get there." I said. We both climbed the last few ladders, and to the top. When we got there, we saw only 1 single person. Someone with a gray jacket, and normal black pants, which I don't actually see all that often. I assume this is the kid that was being talked about, so I go closer and shout, "Hey, you there!" Probably not the best thing to do, because he got quite scared, as I can see when he turned around.
I can see him more clearly now so I can describe him more to complete the look. All I was really missing was the eye color and hair color(with his hood up), which were both brown, but it's not like I'm ever gonna remember that.
He was silent for a whole 5 seconds, and then asked us "Who... are you two?"
"Umm, I'm Brendan-"
"And I'm May!" She jumped up and said. Huh, she seems very excited for some reason. It's probably from being at the top of the tower.
"Can I ask what you two are doing here?" He asked us.
"Heh heh, it doesn't really matter, does it?" A voice from behind us said. I turned around to see the group of Ascension people, as can be told with the uniforms, with that same man that was on that radio earlier in the front. "After all, we've come to take back what you stole from us."
