The next morning I get up before the others and get ready but when I head down stairs to my shock I see May and my Mum are already awake.
"Oh you guys are awake"
"Morning Ash and yeah me and May woke up about an hour ago"
"You want something to eat" my mum asks me as I come down the stairs.
"Not right now I've got to head over to the lab so I can talk to Gary so I won't be to long"
"I'll come to Ash"May says coming up next to me"
"Sure May I could use your opinion on what Pokemon I should take"
"Mrs Ketchum if Max wakes up before we are back to tell him where we have gone"
And with that we head out off the door and towards the lab
We walk In Silence for awhile but it's nice just having May for company.
"So why you going to talk to Gary" she asks
"Well I'm going to tell him about the Alola region and see if he wants to come and I need to pick the Pokemon that I will be taking with me aswell but I'm really excited for this region"
"Don't you normal leave your Pokemon here and only catch ones there"she says which is right normally but I take some off my old Pokemon they get the chance to go battle again instead off been stuck in the lab all the time.
"Yeah but they deserve the chance to see a new region so I'm bringing them with me"
"That makes sense it has been awhile since they have probably been with so I think that it is a good idea aswell"
I'm glad she thinks it is a good idea aswell but it really is just about who to take with me.
It doesn't take long for us to make it the lad.
"Hey Gary I'm here"
We hear noises come from the other room and in a few seconds Gary comes from round the corner.
It looks straight at May and walks towards her and grabs her hand.
"Names Gary Oak Grandson of Professor Oak and what might your name be"
Seeing that May is speechless I step in.
"Gary knock it off she didn't come here for that and this May one off my best friends and traveling partners."
"Well why didn't she say so" and Gary steps back giving her some space.
"Thanks Ash I wasn't sure what to say to him there"
"No problem sorry about Gary he isn't normally like I guess it must be because your pretty"
She goes bright red in the face "aww thanks Ash you really think so"
"Well yeah loads off people have said"
"You really are dense person" she says before walking past me towards the garden.
"Did I say something wrong there Pikachu I thought she would have liked to know that everyone found her pretty I mean I do aswell but why'd she walk off"
"Pikachu"
He says then shrugs.
Girls really are confusing then I run into the Gardento find May playing with a few off my Pokemon.
"May I'm going to talk to Gary are you okay here"
"Yeah I'll be fine Ash it will give time for my Pokemon to have a little run around"
I walk to wher Gary is.
"Hey Pikachu why don't you keep May company"
He jumps off my shoulder and runs over to May and jumps on her shoulder.
"Hey Gary I need to talk to you about something"
"Is it advice Ashy boy then you have come to the right place then my mam"
He puts his hand in my shoulder which is weird.
"Why would I need advice from you Gary"
He drops to the floor for a second then stands back up .
"Never mind so what's up."
"Well there is this new region called Alola and I was going to travel there with May and I was wondering since it is a new region and your a training professor you would want to come there with us"
He seems to think it over for a minute.
"It does sound like a good idea I'll have to give Tracy a call and see if he can cover the lab for me until my grandfather is back"
"Well you should do that now cause I still need to pick what Pokemon I want to take with me"
He nods his head before running back inside.
I head over to where May is.
"So is he going to be joining us then" she says
"He needs to make a call first to see if someone can cover the lab for him so he can explore this new region"
"Is he going to research the new region"
"Well he might even battle if it is w chance for Gary to make history he won't back down I mean been professor Oaks grandson must cast a big shadow to live up to"
"I know what you mean there been the daughter off the top Gym leader In Hoenn everyone wanted me to do battling like him"
"Well it seems Max has taken that route so someone is following in his footsteps then"
"Yeah he is and is Gary strong I though since he is a researcher he wouldn't have time for battling"
"Gary's tough he had a mega stone aswell but it wasn't to long ago he beat me in a 6-6 battle when I returned to Pallet"
She seems shocked for a moment there.
"If he beat you then he must be a strong trainer then"
"Yeah he is pretty good now I'm going to rematch him again some day and prove I'm the better trainer again"
"Your always so determined Ash so what Pokemon you bringing to Alola"
"Well I've given it some thought and I think I got the team sorted out so Pikachu can you gather the rest off the Pokemon for me"
Pikachu runs off but it doesn't take long before the rest off my Pokemon are all crowded round me.
"Okay as you know all we have been training hard these past few months and trying to get stronger for the next region we go to well now is the time for that .
So the Pokemon that I will be taking with me to this new region Sceptile,Infernape,Greninja,Noctowl,Donphan and finally Pikachu.
The Pokemon that I called out have all stepped forward and I place them in Pokeball beside Pikachu.
"The rest off you will get the chance to battle again I won't let our training go to waste"
They all seemed happy with that so I turn around to May.
"That's a pretty strong team you have there Ash this time I'm sure you'll walk away as champion"
"Thanks May and with how well you have done I'm sure you'll be top coordinator aswell"
We head back inside to find Gary.
"So is Tracy able to cover for you then"
"He can but it won't be for a few days so when do you plan on leaving"
"We planned on going tomorrow but then you won't be able to make as the next ship going there won't be here for two weeks"
"You two go ahead when the next ship comes I'll jump in there and I shouldn't be to hard to find you I just have to follow the gyms"
"Well thanks for training with Gary and if you come to Alola and compete in the league you best bring you strongest Pokemon because I plan to beat you again in front off the world"
"You keep thinking that Ash but you still have a long way to go before you can beat me"
"Looks like you guys can settle this in the league then"May says to us both.
"Yeah I guess we can then"Gary says.
Seeing how we a pretty much done at the lab we decide that it is best for us to head back to my house since we did leave Max there after all.
"You think he will be mad that we left him behind he was a fan off Professor Oak so meeting Gary would have been exciting for him"
"I think he's grown out off that now st best he would have tried to battle Gary to see if he can beat Professor Oaks Grandson"
"It would have been a good battle but no offence to Max I don't think he is ready to take on someone like Gary"
"It rare you praise someone so high he must be that good then"
When we finally reach the house we walk in to find that my mother watching tv.
"Oh you are back Ash is everything ready for you new journey"My mum asks.
"Well it's all ready I mainly went over there to ask if Gary wants to come but he has to stay till Tracey gets back"
"Oh well atleast he will get to travel again I know he enjoys it more then been stuck in there"
"Is Max still in bed miss Ketchum"May says
"Please call me Delia and no Max left not long after you went out he said he was going to travel through Kanto region and is on his way to Brocks gym"after my mom says that she heads into the kitchen probably to make dinner.
"So looks like he has already started his journey then I thought that he would have atleast said goodbye to me before he left"she seems abit sad but I guess she understands.
"Well I'm sure he will do well on this region but is there anything you need to do before tomorrow May"
"No ive got everything I need and since we are both ready then we can rest before we go travelling again"
"Hey Ash I've been wondering since I came back here do you still have your half off this"
I turn to see she had pull out he half off the Terracotta Ribbion.
"Of course I still have mine May it's my good luck charm to when ever I go to a different region I keep it with me"
I pull mine out off my Jacket and place it with her.
"I still can't believe they didn't say anything when you cut the ribbion in half"
"Well it was a draw so it only made sense that we both get half the ribbion each plus now we both have something to remember eachother by no matter how far away we are from each other"
"Well who knew you were such a smooth talker Ash"
She says giving me a wink.
"I thought I always was"
The rest off the day to flee by we had dinner with my mom and May told us more about her adventure and how happy she was when she able to defeat Solidad in the final I told her abit more about mine Ash well so it was always fun to share stories off each off our adventures.
But we needed to get up early so I went to bed getting ready for tomorrow.
"Pikachu one more day and we can begin to make history"
"You think we can win this one buddy"
"Pikachu" he says with a determined look on his face.
"Yeah I do to pal"
The next morning we are on the boat to Alola the start of a new journey.
Okay I wasn't sure what Pokemon to bring with Ash but I've always been a fan off Noctowl so I thought about bringing him along and Donphan is cool so I chose that over Snorlax or Tarous so let me know what you guys think about the team I picked.
