May's POV
I looked at my father and knew he was making a huge mistake. How could he take in a complete stranger who has used his Pokémon to steal money from innocent people? He could rob our family for all we know!
"You… you want to get to know… me?" Ash said. I had to admit he was slightly cute but he was a criminal!
"Yes. He does." I answered for my father and looked over to him. He shot me a look that said 'drop the attitude… now' and looked to Ash and smiled again. He nodded and agreed to me.
"We don't plan on telling my wife, Caroline and my son, Max of the mistakes you have made… May and I would like to give you a clean slate." My father said and smiled to Ash.
"I don't want to give you a clean slate but my father is going to make me give you one."
"Well… Thank you very much." He looked down. I couldn't see his face but he had a tint of sadness in his voice.
"What's wrong?" I asked. "You sound slightly sad."
"Oh," he lifted his head and flashed a flirty smile at me. "I'm fine. I'm just surprised…"
I nodded my head and ignored the smile he sent me, even though I did think that it was cute… "How about we head home?" my father asked interrupting my thoughts.
"What are we going to tell Max and Mom?" I asked. "Oh, we found this guy off the street and decided we would bring him home and just make him feel like family?"
"No. We will tell her that…" My father stopped not knowing.
"We could tell your wife that I told you about how I was having lots of trouble training my Pokémon and asked for your help but told you about how my father abandoned my mother and I when I was young and how my mother is now very ill and we don't have much money for food so I sent out looking for a job and you offered one."
My father and I looked at the young man with large eyes. "Did you just slightly tell us why you're a criminal?"
Ash flinched at the word. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that…"
"Well at least the sorry has some truth…" My father rubbed his chin. "We can have you feed and take care of the Pokémon at the gym as the 'job'" A smile was on Ash's face and my father's.
"Thank you very much." Ash looked to my father. "Both of you." He looked to me then smiled a sweet smile. I didn't want to admit but Ash was attractive. I never thought that I would think someone of his
nature would be 'cute'.
"Shall we go?" My father asked and Ash and I nodded. We all started to walk out of the door when I remembered Pikachu and Eevee.
"One second!" I shouted and ran back to the room all three of us were in. "Eevee! Pikachu!" I saw the two Pokémon run towards me and Eevee jumped on my shoulder. Pikachu followed her lead and I walked out of the room to see Ash waiting for me. I looked to him and saw him look and smile largely at Pikachu.
"Hey! There he is!" Ash walked over to me and scratched under Pikachu's chin. He started to coo and I looked around to see my father nowhere in sight. "He left to inform your mother of my arrival before I walk in the door. He said to just walk with you and that we should get to know each other."
I nodded. "Well, how about we walk?" He nodded his head and opened the gym doors for me. "Thank you. So how about you start?"
"Well, when I was 2 my father left my mother and I. I remember that every day after he left I would walk into by my mother's room to hear her crying and it made me cry. I felt it was my fault. As I got older, my mother and I started to have money problems but it wasn't as bad as it is now. I had finally turned 10 and I had gone to go and get my first Pokémon which was Pikachu. We didn't get along at first but now we do… I started to notice that girls thought Pikachu was adorable so I started to use him and my Chimchar to get money… I sleep with girls and then leave the next morning with all the money they had on them and then I tried to use Pikachu on you but I guess there was something different about you that he enjoyed. I can see it though. There is something that is different about you then all the other girls I have seen that I enjoy too…" he looked down with a pink blush on his face.
I looked at Ash and felt so bad that I had judged him. He really did have feelings and he was just trying to help his mother. "What about you?"
"Well, my father has always been the gym leader and him and my mother expected me to go on my Pokémon journey as a trainer and take over but I didn't. When I turned 10 I got Eevee. I went on my journey as a coordinator and I always kept this Eevee as an Eevee but I caught another Eevee that evolved in to a Flareon and a Vulpix that evolved into Ninetails. I come home a lot and I traveled with my brother and Brock until Max turned 10 and then I traveled alone…"
Ash nodded and smiled. I looked up to see that we were almost at my home… I pointed. "There it is."
"Whoa. This is pretty big…" I nodded.
"Wait until you see the inside…"
