HotXbun: Will get to see a Pokémon Center in this chapter (hence the name of the chapter).

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or Avatar The Last Airbender. But I do own 'Follow Your Heart' and 'How Max Met Jirachi.'

Chapter 8 The Pokémon Center [My Journey With You Extra: This was the original title for the last chapter.]

May's POV

Ten Minutes Later

Ash and I were running through some ruins.

"Dang it", I yelled. "Where is the Pokémon Center?!"

"I don't know", Ash replied.

Suddenly...I heard something.

I turned my head...and saw a man.

I quickly ran up to him.

"Excuse me", I asked getting his attention. "Can you please tell me where the Pokémon Center is? My Torchic is badly hurt!"

"But of course", the man replied before pointing to a hill. "It's just behind that hill over there."

"Thank you so much", I said before I faced Ash. "Let's go Ash!"

Ten Minutes Later

Nice Joy walked up to me.

"Is Torchic okay", I asked desperately.

"She's just fine", Nurse Joy revealed. "She's just resting at the back." [My Journey With You Extra: Phew!]

"Oh thank goodness", I stated. "Thank you so much!"

"You're very welcome", Nurse Joy said before leaving.

At that point I couldn't keep it in anymore. I just let the tears start falling out.

"May", Ash asked in concern. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong", I asked angrily. "What's wrong is that I got my Torchic hurt!"

"It was your first catch May", Ash pointed out. "You think this was bad. My first catch resulted in a whole flock of Spearow attacking me!"

"Really", I asked.

"Really", Ash replied. "But you know what? Something good came out of it. Pikachu defended and in that moment I knew that we'd be best friends forever!"

"Pika", Pikachu said before nuzzling again Ash's head.

I smiled before wiping my tears.

"Thank you Ash", I thanked. "Sorry I'm being such a baby."

Ash smiled at me before putting his hand on my shoulder.

Once again...this motion made my heart race. [My Journey With You Extra: Read the last chapter to see what May is talking about.]

"All trainers face troubles on their journeys", Ash stated. "But we can get through it if we work together." [My Journey With You Extra: Cheesy Ash. Very cheesy.]

I smiled at Ash before nodding.

"Well", he started. "I need to go call someone."

"Who?"

Five Minutes Later

Ash and I were at the call booth.

An elderly man appeared on the screen.

"Hi Professor Oak", Ash greeted.

"Ash my boy", the man (who I know knew was named Professor Oak) said. "It's good to here from you. How are you liking Hoenn?"

"It's great", Ash replied. "Anyway, there's somebody I want you to meet."

With that Ash ushered me towards the screen.

"This is my new travel companion May", he revealed.

"May", Professor Oak said. "Lovely to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too", I stated. "And you know what? I think I've see my brother watch you on tv before."

"Well then", Professor Oak started. "Your brother has good taste."

Ash and I laughed at this.

"Well now", Professor Oak started. "I must get going. But good luck to you both."

HotXbun: Thank goodness that Torchic is alright.

Challenge: Tell me what you think will happen next.

My Answer: Tell me what you think will happen next.

My Answer: If you've watched Pokémon Advanced then you'll know. If not, then you'll have to wait and see.
