Apoligies for the delay of this fourth chapter. I haven't had much of a chance to write. But when writing this story, if I take long to update, I haven't forgotten. Too many stories on this website don't get finished, and I don't want mine to be the same.

Anyway, now we're at the moment you've all been waiting for; where May finally comes into the story - and where the problem occurs.

Not too far away, a certain brown-haired girl, dressed in a red blouse, white skirt, blue shorts and a red bandanna, was racing quickly through the falling snow, accompanied by her younger brother.

May had recieved Delia's invition the day before, and happily accepted. She was excited about going to a party and seeing her friends again. But most of all, she was looking forward to seeing Ash. She had missed him so badly since she had left him, and had spent her months regretting it.

And now that she had been given an invitation to go to a party at his house, she now had the opportunity to be reunited with him and confess her feelings - even if he didn't feel the same way about her. She had to tell him.

But right now, May was running late. She had spent most of the day looking for a suitable Christmas present for him. After finally managing to find something, she had raced to the dock - only to find she had missed the ship she was to catch to the Kanto region. Thankfully, another one was due, but not only didn't it arrive until another few hours, it missed the tides and was delayed. It was very late to leave, and it was dark by the time it reached the Kanto region. When May got off the ship, she met Max, who had taken a ship from Petalburg to Kanto. Once May had arrived, he had proceeded to complain about her being so late.

And now, they were hurrying along together towards Pallet. They were trying their best to keep warm, as they weren't wearing any Winter clothes. They hadn't expected snow in Kanto.

"Hurry, Max," said May impatiently. "We gotta get there quickly! I can't wait to see Ash again"

"I'm hurrying," panted Max wearily. "But you seem really enthusiastic about seeing Ash for some reason!"

"Don't you wanna see your old friend again?!"

"Well, yeah! But if I didn't know any better - I'd say you had a crush on him!"

For a moment, May silently panicked, fearing that Max had worked out the biggest secret of her life. She was about to deny it - but she knew if she did, that she would only prove Max right, and he would proceed to tease her. But she still didn't want to admit to him.

So May just decided not to answer to what he said and carry on making their way to Pallet.

They were almost there, when the wind suddenly started to blow more fiercely, turning the snowfall from a beautiful white Christmas scene into a teerible blizzard. May and Max struggled along, snowflakes blowing into their faces, making it hard to see.

"C'mom, Max!" May cried. "We have to get to Pallet and out of this blizzard.

Then suddenly, a beam of light shot out of one of May's Poké Balls, and out came Skitty. May and Max stopped running immediately. May picked up her Poké Ball to recall Skitty, when the kitten Pokémon suddenly darted off in one direction. She was chasing after a Rattata, having picked up its scent as soon as she had come out. The Rattata ran as fast as it could, and Skitty happily set chase.

"Skitty! Come back!" May called, and quickly chased after her, followed by Max.

Skitty chased the Rattata into a small cave, on top of which was a large pile of snow. May followed them inside, while Max stayed outside. Thankfully, the inside of the cave led to nowhere but a dead end. May caught up with Skitty, who was about to pounce on the Rattata and picked her up. "Back in your Poké Ball, Skitty." The little kitten Pokémon returned to her Poké Ball.

Then suddenly, from above the cave, there was a rumbling noise. "May! Get out quick!" called Max.

The Rattata sensed the danger and ran out of the opening to the cave. May started to run towards the opening, but she wasn't quick enough.

The pile of snow on top of the cave had been blown over by the strong wind, and it suddenly fell in front of the entrance, causing a large pile up. Max gasped, and stood back so as not to get caught in it. Inside the cave, May watched in horror as the only way out of the cave started to quickly get blocked.

When the avalanche finally stopped, Max saw that the pile of snow that had formed had blocked the entrance, and he was horrified at this, knowing his sister was still inside. He ran up to pile. "May! Are you alright?! Can you hear me?!"

"Max!" Came a muffled reply. "I'm okay! I'm just trapped! Can you get me out?!"

Max tried to dig at the snow with his hands, but it was much too thick. "No, May, I can't! What should I do?!"

"Go on to Ash's house. Tell him to come and get me out. If anyone can help me, he can!"

"Right away!" And with that, Max rushed on to Pallet to tell Ash. Inside the cave, May was half hopeful and half afraid. Hopeful, because she hoped the boy she loved would come to save her and they would be together again, but afraid, because she didn't know whether she's see the light of day again, let alone the boy she loved.

So May finds herself trapped in a cave and needs Ash to save her. What a way for them to be reunited. Will it be successful though?

By the way, I just want to point out that the reason I decided to have May in her Advanced Generation clothes is because I always preferred them to her Emerald clothes. Heh!
