A/N: Here's chapter 4 of My Life. I just wanted to add this in before the weekend, but I'll have more up next week.

"Yes Odale Town. We're here!" I say to myself and Pikachu. I then heard someone call me from behind.

"Wait up!"

Oh yeah. How could I forget May? I thought she stopped following us at the first sight of her first wild pokemon. I chuckle to myself inwardly and wait for her to catch up.

"Finally, I made it to you" She says gasping for breath.

I turn my back to her and start to walk again. She starts to panic that I'm already taking off and starts to run towards me, so she can walk with me.

"Don't you think it's better, if we walked together?" She asked me.

"Okay, fine" I say giving in.

Ash introducing title: Friendships last forever!

May and I walk in the town, looking for a Pokemon Center. Well, at least she was. I wasn't very concerned, since we haven't even battled yet. Still, she wanted to go drop off our stuff, and go sight-seeing with me, alone. I asked her why I couldn't bring Pikachu, but she said we better not. Whatever. I just want to get this over with.

"Yes! Finally found the Pokemon Center" She exclaimed. I just laugh nervously and we ask Nurse Joy to watch our stuff and Pokemon. We exit out and May asks me a question.

"So where do you wanna go?" She asks me.

What? She doesn't have a planned schedule? What's up with that?

"You mean you don't have anything planned?" I ask her. She blushes and I sigh. "I guess I can always go to the Pokemon Mart"

"Okay!" She grabs my arm and pulls me over to the Pokemon Mart. Great. Just great.

We reach the Mart, and she looks for little small things to buy. I look for some useful things for me to buy. However, I have no money. I look around for May, asking if she has any money. She doesn't. Great. I go to the back of the store picking all the items that I wanted. I know I promised my mom I wouldn't do this anymore, but, I needed to.

I jack the items.

Few minutes later, I picked up my things and Pikachu, and try to rush out of the town as soon as possible. I eavesdrop on some people that they were talking about a criminal robbing the Pokemon Mart. They're already after me. I make it to the exit of the town and I see an unsurprising guest. May.

May looks at me with red puffy eyes. Apparently she had been crying. I feel guilty for 2 different things. One for stealing. And two for ditching a friend.

"Ash why?" she asks me, stepping closer to me.

"I had to May. I had no money" I answer.

"No. Why did you leave me?" She asks again. This time she starts to cry.

No please don't cry. "I didn't mean to". I don't have anything else to say but one more thing. "I'm sorry"

She looks up at me, and starts to smile. She runs up to me and starts to hug me. This time I feel sorry for her.

"I'm sorry May. You can't travel with me anymore"

She looks at me again with teary eyes. "Why not?"

"The police are after me. Like I said before. I'm not a guy to hang around with. I'm dangerous." I don't know why I'm protecting her. I never knew that I would. I never really cared for anyone, except for my mom and Pikachu. How come I care for her now?

"I'm sorry May" I leave, making her let go of me. Pikachu frowns sadly at May. May then starts to run after me. I start to sprint off and I hide in the woods. She looks for me calling out my name. I sigh and continue on.

However, I didn't get far. I was stopped by a group of shady characters. They told me they had a gun, so I stepped out. I didn't know it was that serious until I saw them holding a girl hostage. May!

"Let her go!" I yell at them but they just laugh at me. They let May go and she hid behind me in fear. "Pikachu. No matter what protect May"

I turn back to look at the shady characters again. "Okay. What do you want!?"

"You!" The leader simply replied and he walked up to the middle of his gang. "You are wanted and the reward is $50,000,000. You're pretty worth it, kid."

"No way!" I start to get mad at them. I then turn to May and Pikachu. "Pikachu, get May out of here as soon as you can. Now!"

"No Ash! I won't leave you." May says to me, but I get angrier.

"Go! Now! Before it's too late. I don't want you getting hurt" I yell at them again. This time they both leave and I turn back to the gang's leader.

"Ha! You have no one to protect you now!" The leader yells at me and laughs. However, I just snicker.

"Doesn't matter. I've been in tighter situations than this" I pull out a small bomb from my back pack. "You see here. I got this bomb here. And if you guys make one move. I'll launch it right here. Right now!"

They get frighten at this and start to back away.

"Good" I start to back away too and I keep the bomb close to me. "See ya!" I sprint off back into the woods. I then hear them chasing after me. Shit! What am I gonna do now!? I make it to the edge of the cliff and I sweat drop. The gang had finally caught up with me and they start to get their guns out.

"Now you're surrounded. Just give up kid. And we'll make this easier for you" The leader says, aiming his gun on me.

"Heh. Never" I launch the bomb at the gang and they start to panic. I can barely make it out, but I could've sworn I saw bodies fly all over the place. They were all dead. "Ha! Pwned! I owned you guys for sure"

I cheer and I do my victory pose, but suddenly the cliff starts to shake. I scream in fear as the cliff below breaks before me. This is the end. I close my eyes waiting for the impact but something grabs my arm. I look up to see what is happening, but I see someone once again who I never suspected. May!

She pulls me up onto the cliff and she starts hugging me again.

"Oh Ash. I thought you were gonna fall" she mumbles in my shirt.

"Why'd you come back?" I ask her.

She blushes and responds. "Well, that's what friends are for. They help each other out. Even in the worst conditions"

She thought of me as my friend? I never knew. "Thanks May. I never knew I was considered your friend"

She blushes again. "Of course you are. You're more than my friend"

More than your friend? Hmm.

"By the way, where's Pikachu?" I ask, trying to change the subject.

"Pokemon Center. C'mon Ash lets head back" She offers me her hand and I accept. We walk together back to the Pokemon Center, hand to hand.

~

We head back to the center and pick up our stuff. We journey together to Petalberg City and May continuously gets nervous.

"What's wrong?" I ask her, trying to be more as a friend than a stranger.

"Oh nothing" she says to me and I just shrug it off.

A/N: That's chapter 4. I'll update soon. Probably next week or something.
