Chapter 9
Brock, Tracey and Max arrived back in May's cell area to find Ash asleep in his wheelchair and May on her cell bed, also fast asleep, but they could see a large bruise on her arm.
"Wonder what happened to her." Tracey said.
"No idea. We'll ask them later." Brock said. Ash started to stir as he heard their voices.
"Huh? You're back already?" He yawned.
"It has been about 6hrs since we left." Tracey said.
"Oh, right." Ash said, looking at his watch. "It has."
"What I want to know is why May has got that absolutely huge bruise on her arm!" Max said. Ash sighed.
"I had to pretend to punish her when Giovanni came in." Ash sighed.
"Say what?! And you actually hit her?!"
"There was already a bruise; I just accidentally made it larger. Believe me I didn't want to hurt her." Ash said.
Max sighed. Then May started to stir.
"Oh man my head." She groaned. "I have a really bad headache." She sat up and yawned. "Oh, hi guys."
"Hi May." Tracey and Brock said.
"Hi sis," Max said.
'Beep.' Some one was coming in.
"We have some bread and water for the girl." Robby said, walking in with a tray. He handed it to Ash. "You go in Andy."
"'Kay." Ash said, He went in and handed her the plate before coming out.
"Did you give her that monster bruise?"
"Yeah. She was insulting me."
"Good one." Robby said.
"Thanks. She knows not to insult me now." Ash said.
"Well, Brendan and Tom you can go to your old rooms, Maxwell, room no. 888 and Andy you have to stay on this shift all night." Robby said. "C'mon Maxwell, I'll show you where yours is." Thee four walked out, leaving Ash on his own with May, "Oh yeah, your food should come soon Andy!"
"Thanks!" Ash called back. The door locked. "May, I'll give you some of mine too ok?"
"O-ok." May said.
"Hey, are you ok?" Ash asked.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine. I just don't wanna be stuck here much longer." May whispered. "Last time when we tried to save Pikachu, like you heard, we were here 5 whole months, if we're here for that long this time I'll be givin' birth in this cold cell."
"Don't worry May, I might not remember how to escape but Brock and Tracey do. We'll all get outta here." Ash smiled.
"Food for Ketull!" Someone called form outside the door.
"Comin!" Ash wheeled himself over and took the large plateful of food. "Gees how much food man?"
"Well your appetite is huge; you ate us out last time you were here." The grunt laughed, "Well, cya."
"Cya." Ash locked the door and wheeled over to May, passing her a bowl of ramen through the bars. "I heard you love 'em." He smiled.
"Thanks Ash." May smiled. Ash opened the bars so they could talk properly. "D'you mind if I have some of that cola?"
"Of course you can, here." Ash said, handing her the can. May gladly took it and had a sip before handing back to him. After he took it she quickly kissed his cheek, causing him to blush and her to sit back a bit.
"T-thanks for the d-drink A-Ash." She stuttered. Ash just nodded, sitting there completely frozen and with a blush that could put a tomato berry to shame. May handed him the empty bowl of ramen and moved back into the cell, shutting the bars and lying on her wall cot facing away from him. 'Why'd I do that? I know I love him and we're a couple, but were kinda on hold with that whilst he has amnesia, he even said he didn't feel comfortable with kisses yet, but that wasn't on the lips… oh man, this is so confusing!'
Ash was still sitting there frozen in time. Slowly he raised his one hand and touched the cheek May had kissed. He laughed slightly and smiled.
"I should've know, she must love me so much that she couldn't help herself but kiss me." He smiled, but his face dropped. "Too bad I can't do the same. She's a great girl."
May heard the whole of his comment and found herself blushing. Ash lay back in his wheelchair; he looked out for the window and saw it was dark.
"Well, it's dark now, night May." He said.
"G'night Ash." May muttered. Ash smiled and lay back.
"Sweet dreams."

The next day…
Ash yawned and opened his eyes; he looked into May's cell and saw her asleep on the wall cot facing him.
"She looks so peaceful." He smiled. "I wonder what she's dreaming about."
"Ashy? Come into my room for a sec, I need to tell you something." May muttered. Ash smiled, she was obviously talking in her sleep.
"May? C'mon wake up, I don't need to here you sleep talkin'" Ash chuckled. May stirred slightly and looked at him.
"Huh? Where am I- oh yeah, I'm in TR base. Hi Ash." She said.
"Hi May. How you feeling?"
"Ok, still have a damn headache."
"Well, I think breakfast is coming soon, you'll probably be given the same as last night, but you can have some of whatever I get." Ash smiled. May smiled back at him and thanked him again.
"Oh, and about last night, I'm sorry for kissing you." She apologized.
"Hey, I don't mind, it was only on the cheek. Besides, I knew you'd end up kissing me at some point, you really love me a lot and I can tell that." Ash smiled. May came over to the bars.
"Open the bar-…" she started.
"Hey Ketull! Food for you!" A grunt called from outside.
"Coming!" Ash called. He wheeled over and took the again large plate of food. "You have the girl's bread 'n' water?"
"Giovanni said only one meal a day for her. Cya." The grunt walked off, Ash shut and locked the door, growling.
"Ash? What's wrong and where's the bread and water?" May asked.
"Giovanni ordered them to only give you a 'meal' at night." Ash growled. May smiled at him weakly.
"Well, you did say you were gonna give me some anyway, right?" she said. Ash smiled at her.
"Of course May." He said. He wheeled over to her and handed her a bacon sandwich. "Take anything you want. If someone comes in I'll pretend you were stealing it and yell, there's no way I'm hitting you this time."
"Ok Ash." She said, taking a huge bite.
"You must be really hungry!" Ash laughed.
"I always am." May giggled. Ash smiled and handed her a can. "Thank you." Yet again she kissed his cheek but this time they just stayed where they were and continued eating, though Ash had a light tinge of red on his cheeks.
"I hate being in here."

Brock, Tracey and Max were wandering around the base, waiting for a mission. Brock heard something in his earpiece and sighed.
"Mission time. We need to find and take a strong Milotic." He explained,
"C'mon, lets head out." Tracey said. They walked out and took the high-tech scooters to the location where strong Milotic hid.
"Ok, so we use a master ball but transfer it into a normal ball." Brock said.
"Right." The other two nodded. They scanned every Milotic they saw with a Pokè Level and soon found one that was level 89.
"Go master ball!" Max shouted throwing the purple ball. The Milotic was of course captured and they immediately transferred it to a normal Pokè ball."
"Lets take it back to Giovanni, today's gonna be a long one."
