Chapter 7

First Impressions

"Thanks for the hospitality Mrs. Maple!" Ash said waving off.

"See you later mom!" I yell in the same direction.

"Bye kids! Be safe! Don't anything happen to May!" We both sweat drop.

"Just nod a wave." I whisper.

As soon as we were out of shouting distance we started talking.

"Hey May? Can I ask you something?" he started.

"That depends, what is it?" I say curiously. "Where does it all go?" he asked with a slight chuckle.

"Huh?" I say confused.

"The food, where does it all go?" he asked looking at my stomach.

"I could ask you the same thing." I say poking his.

"I guess that's true, but I've never met anyone who could eat as much as me." he said scratching his head.

"Me neither." I confessed with a chuckle."So, how do you like it in Hoenn so far?" I started this time.

"Well, my first day wasn't so good." he admitted.

"What happened?" I asked as we walked past the city limits. He proceeded to tell me about this group called 'Team Rocket' and how they're always trying to steal his Pikachu. They attack him on his way to Hoenn, resulting in the little guy becoming extremely ill. Thankfully, everything turned out all right and they were sent careening away into the sky.

"They've been following me ever since I started my journey." he said angrily.

"And they haven't managed to catch anything? Wow what a bunch of losers." I snorted, quite unladylike.

"I just can't believe they followed me here." he said.

"Have you ever tried a restraining order?" I ask.

"Hmm? I never thought about tha-!" he yelled falling into a hole. I looked down.

"Hey, are you okay?" I yell down.

"Define okay." he mumbled. I heard rustling in the bushwa, then two people and a pokemon jumped out. One of them was a woman with long, strange, red hair and the other was a man with short, strange, blue hair. Who were these clowns?

"Prepare for trouble, with the same old joke…" yelled the red-haired woman.

"…Make it double, you've got no hope…" said the blue-haired man.

"…To protect the world from devastation…" getting bored.

"…To unite all people within our nation…" yawning.

"…To denounce the evils of truth and love…" getting drowsy.

"…To extend our reach to the stars above…" yawning again.

"…Jesse…" closing

"…James…" eyes

"…Team Rocket Blasts off at the speed of light…" sleeping.

"…Surrender now or prepare to fight…" snoring.

"…Meowth, dat's right!" nose bubble.

"What the heck? She's asleep!" Jesse yelled.

"Wait a second, that's not the twerpette. And where's the tall twerp?" James asked confused.

"Who cares! Where's dat Pikachu?" asked the cat pokemon.

At the moment I woke up, unaware of my surroundings.

"Who are you?" I ask looking at the strangers.

"Must we do our introduction again?" the red haired woman screamed.

"No need." I heard a voice say. I turn around to see Ash out of the hole. "These are the crooks I was telling you about, Team Rocket. That's Jesse with the red hair, James in blue, and Meowth, the talking pokemon." he easily pointed them out.

"Thanks for the intro twerp, we'll just be taking your Pikachu now!" Jesse laughed. "No way! I'm not letting you get Pikachu!" Ash yelled.

"How do ya like dis?" Meowth said holding out a smoke machine.

"What's going on?" I cough.

"They're using the smoke as a distraction." I heard Ash say.

"Ash where are you?" I begin to look, then something lifted me off the ground. "Hey! What's going on?" I yelled in protest. I begin to inhale too much smoke and then it all went black.

When I opened my eyes I found out that I was tied up hanging from a branch on a tree. I opened my mouth to tell somebody off, but there was a cloth tied over it. I sighed angrily. Looking down I saw those three goons conversing, so I listened in.

"I can't believe you mistook Pikachu for the twerpette!" Jesse yelled.

"It was dark and I couldn't tell what the net was grabbing." James confessed nervously. "Look da twoip is coming back so we'll get Pikachu den." Meowth concluded.

"Right!" the two humans agreed.

'Where the heck is Ash?' I said to myself.

"Psst." I heard. "Psst. May? Are you okay?" I spot Ash in the bushes.

'As if I can answer.' I thought. "I'm going to get you down okay?" I nodded.

"What's that noise?" Jesse asked.

"Go check it out Meowth. It might be the twerp."

'Oh no!' I watched as Meowth got closer to where Ash was.

"Now!"

"PI-KA-CHU!"

I then saw a lot of electricity and sparks coming from the bush, and Meowth toppling over.

"Wow." I said, lifting the cloth from my mouth (don't ask me how).

"Go Pikachu, up the tree." Ash commanded. I watched as good as I could as the Pikachu climbed the tree to where I was. "Oh no. What are you doing? Don't bite that or I'll fall!" I scream. He continued to bite through the rope until—SNAP!

"Ah!" I shrieked as I got closer to the ground. I closed my eyes in fear. Although my life wasn't flashing before my eyes, I would've enjoyed a movie on this drop.

When I couldn't feel the wind in my face anyone more, I opened my eyes and I saw Ash looking down on me.

"You okay?" he said as he slowly put me down.

"Define okay." I said with a laugh. He laughed back, started to untie me. "Thanks." I said, looking back at him. I noticed his eyes, they were auburn. Then I blushed at the thought of him being so close. But the moment was interrupted by Team Idiot trying to take Pikachu again. And at the sight of them I got really mad.

"Where do you people get off?" I yelled, now standing up. At my sudden outburst, everyone is surprised.

"You losers practically ruined my day by kidnapping me and you're still at it? Somebody's going to pay dearly. Go Torchic!" I released my fire chicken. "Use ember!" I command.

"Tor-chic chic chic!" she released little bursts of fire, effectively charring them until I was satisfied.

"Nice Job May, I'll take it from here. Pikachu thunderbolt em'!" Ash said.

"PI-KA-CHU!" Thunderbolts coursed through their bodies, creating an explosion, sending them flying.

"Looks like Team Rockets blasting off again!" They disappeared in a flash of light.

"So that's Team Rocket huh? They made a bad first impression on me." I said.

"Yeah, I saw that. I've never seen you so mad before. Better get used to it cause they're going to be following us all the time." He said with a laugh.

"I don't see how it's funny. Anyway, let's get going okay?" I say walking off with my hands on my hips. "

Sure, whatever."

With that we continued our way to Rustboro City, the first Gym. Who knows what else will happen during that time. It's a new place with new possibilities we might even meet somebody new

Kris: Ok so this was a decently sized chapter don't you think?

AJ: Yeah and Team Rocket was in it!

Mikey: There's still nothing exciting about them.

Kris: He has a point. Move along to chapter eight! I think It has something to do with either berries or Brendan.

Brendan: Me!

Kris: Haha yeah—wait, what are you doing here?

Mikey&AJ: Clearly trolling.

All: Thanks for reading!
