I have been very lazy about updating this! Sorry! But here it is! Chapter 4!

Chapter 4

"Hey, why don't you two just travel together?" Professor Birch suggested.

"Huh?" Both teenagers blinked, looking at the man.

"Well, you're both traveling and filling the Pokédex, so I just thought it would be more efficient…" He trailed off as the the teens glared at him.

"That would defeat the purpose of the challenge!" May pouted.

"Well, you don't need to challenge each other anyway!" The professor exclaimed, acting more childish as he got more frustrated. May sighed, gripping Brendan's hand.

"Let's go then," She said.

"Why am I the only one who doesn't get to say anything about the situation," He grumbled, but he let May drag him away.

He smiled as May began humming as they walked, her hand still locked with his.

"Route 101! Again!" She exclaimed as they exited the small town.

"You just moved here. I can't believe you left the same day." May shrugged.

"Well, it's kind of a boring town anyway... No offense, you being born here after all..." She laughed off his glare. She seemed like a really happy-go-lucky person. Not that he minded. Better than being stuck with a grumpy person. That would not be fun.

"Hey, hey! Brendan! Look! A tail!" She let go of his hands, beginning to wander to the tall grass. The grass went all the way up to her chest. There was a small patch of grass where a tail was sticking up. She tiptoed over to the tail until she was close enough to see what it was. It was a Poochyena. She smiled letting out Mudkip. The bright light startled the little dog Pokémon and it immediately launched itself at Mudkip.

"Dodge it and use Water Gun!" Mudkip happily obliged jumping away and shooting the other Pokèmon in midair. It cried out, and launched itself in a tackle. There was no time for Mudkip to dodge.

"Hit it with another Water Gun!" The wild Pokèmon staggered. She grinned. The perfect moment. She threw a Poké Ball, and it hit the head of the surprised Poochyena. A white light surrounded it and it was in the Poké Ball. After it wiggled a few times, there was a soft click. She had caught it. May ran back happily to Brendan.

"I caught it!" She smiled happily. Mudkip looked as happy as his Trainer. May rubbed the Poké Ball against her cheek. It felt so warm. She smiled. Her first real catch. Brendan rolled his eyes, and he squeezed her soft hand.

"Congratulations," He said. She giggled, looking down at her new Pokémon.

"Thank you!" She took his hand again, beginning to walk again. They encountered more Pokémon as they walked, but they were weak, and fainted quickly. By the time they got to Route 103, May was yawning.

"It wasn't this tiring the first time..." She grumbled, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"That's because we had a lot of battles along the way. You want to stop for now?" He asked. She nodded. Her eyes were half closed already.

"But I... Didn't think I'd be camping out at night... I'm not prepared..." She said sheepishly.

"I have two sleeping bags," He said. She smiled tiredly.

"Good. I'll take one please." Brendan chuckled.

"You're cuter than I am." May blushed.

"O-oh... Thanks." She pulled away and watched as he set up their sleeping bags at the base of a tree trunk. He slid into one, and she got into the other. She was asleep immediately. He laughed as she began to snore.

"Goodnight May..." He smiled at her before falling asleep as well.

May's dream was pleasant. But embarrassing. May realized that it was a dream right away. This was because when she opened her eyes, she was in Brendan's arms. He had gotten flustered. He was so cute. She enjoyed teasing him.

But then he started acting like such a flirt. Calling her beautiful and playing with her hair. Saying the way she talked was cute. It was strange to say the least. The real Brendan was too dorky to be able to say those things. And to be honest, she like him better. He was great the way he was.

Hi there! Please R&R! I'll see you next chapter!
