Hello readers! I will try to do better with this chapter. I keep trying to think of when I should add a battle, but it never seems like a good time! (frustrated face) Not much else to say, except continue to read, review and pm ideas for future chapters/stories (full credit will be given to you). I will now accept pms for adding YOUR characters to my stories. Just give a name, physical description, and a short background about them.

After about half an hour, Jenny pulled into a Pokémon Center's lot. It was an hour away from any city, in the middle of a forest, so there was little sunlight getting to the ground. Jenny escorted them inside, and pulled the Joy working there aside for a minute. Jenny explained the situation to Joy, then left the center.

After a few minutes of sitting on the couch together, Percy walked up to Joy and asked for a room. "We only have one room left." Said Joy. "Are you sure you're comfortable with sharing a room?"

"Of course I am." Percy replied without even thinking. "At a time like this, she needs someone to be there for her. I need someone to comfort me too."

"Then I'll show you to your room, right this way." Joy replied, her cheerful smiling never leaving her face. Percy nudged May, telling her to follow him.

When they arrived at the room. they took a moment to examine it. It was a medium sized room, with a bunk bed and a queen sized on the end of the wall. The room was painted white, just like their school. In the corner was small tv that sat beside the door.

May began to unpack their things while Percy took a shower. What are we going to do? Percy thought as he began washing his hair. We can't stay at the Pokémon Center forever, and the police would never let minors live alone, especially after their parents have vanished. He decided not to let it bother him, he would bring it up with May later. Percy got dressed, putting on his usual orange shirt, putting a jacket over top. His jeans were black, and he wore sandals, despite it being October.

May quickly took a shower, relived at the feel of hot water touching her skin. She hated cold showers, they made her feel uncomfortable and upset. Does Percy know I like him? May thought to herself as she turned on the water. I've tried to drop obvious flirts. Either he hasn't said anything, or he's just plain dumb. Does Percy like me back? It would be pointless to tell him if he didn't like me, that might hurt our friendship. No, that wouldn't happen. He tried to kiss me. He obviously likes me. Even if he doesn't like me, we'd still be friends.

May got dressed, putting on a white mini-skirt that went a few inches below her knees, and an orange blouse.

May decided she wouldn't let that bother her, she would bring it up with Percy later.

After Percy finished unpacking, the two friends departed to the lobby to see Max, whom had been watched closely by a second Nurse Joy, assuring May was safe and would visit him soon."May! You're ok!" Max hollered with joy. He ran up to his big sister and gave her big hug.

"Who's this?" Max asked turning to Percy. "This is Percy. He's gotten me out of a tough spot more than once before." May was proud to brag about Percy. He was a good person, and was extremely worthy of her love. He just had to share the same feelings for her.

"Oh, I see." Max grinned. "He's you're boyfriend, isn't he?"

May was getting agitated by Max already. "Five seconds of knowing the boy, and you're already giving me crap about him? You're not dad Max!" May fussed at her brother.

"First, you shouldn't use that word to me, I'm you're little brother." Max replied. "Second, since dad's missing, I'm man of the house, and I need to make sure the boy doesn't try anything funny."

"Man of the house, yea right." May mumbled under her breath. "More like toddler of the house."

"I have a name, you know." Even Percy was getting annoyed by Max's attitude. It reminded Percy of Barry. "Excuse me, but I need to make a call." Percy mumbled, stepping out of the room. He dialed Barry's number into a video phone and waited for the ringing to stop.

When it stopped, Barry's image appeared on a screen. He was looking in another direction, talking to someone.

"And then she said to me... Guys! Come here! It's Percy, he's ok!" Barry shouted at the top of his lungs. Percy covered his ears. Even over the phone, Barry was too loud. A few moments later, the screen was crowded with people. There was Ash, Ms. Ketchum, (I would type her real name, but my internet is blocked right now) Gary .

"I know all of you have questions, so I'll answer what I imagine you'd ask." Percy took a deep breath, getting ready to speak.

"Yes, My mom and May's parents are missing, yes we don't know where they are, yes May's with me, yes we're at a Pokémon Center, yes Max is alright, and yes we're ok as well." Percy took a few quick breaths before asking: "Any other questions?"

They all thought for a second, and Gary spoke up. "Nope, I think that covers it."

"Do you have a place to stay? Ms. Ketchum asked. "No, the police refused to let us live without an adult, and I'm fairly certain that Nurse Joy won't let us stay at the Center forever." Percy sighed.

"You could stay with us," Ash offered. "There's a guest bedroom across the hall from mine that we never use. You two could stay there."

Percy turned to May, who had just entered the room. May nodded in approval, grateful for any help their friends would give. "We would appreciate that very much. The nurse said we can stay until we return to school, we will move in then."
"You don't have to stay there that long." Said Ms. Ketchum. "The room is ready for living in, we can pick you up in the morning." She offered. "And besides, you don't even have to stay in school."

"Really?" May asked.

"Yes," Ms. Ketchum continued. "You see, Pokémon League rules state that when a person become ten, they can become a trainer. The league rules also state that when a person turns 14, they must return to school to decide their true path. Not everyone can become a Pokémon master. If the person still wishes to participate in Pokémon League conferences, they can take a battle test after Thanksgiving. If they pass, they can leave school and continue right where they left off before. The same thing for coordinators. As a matter of fact, I think all your friends are taking the test."

"That's great! Percy exclaimed. Percy talked to Barry for a few minutes before he heard a rumbling noise behind him. He turned around and saw May sweatdrop, she was holding her stomach. "Oops, um." She said awkwardly.

"I gotta go. My looks like she's starving." So after saying their goodbyes, Percy took May to the Center's diner to enjoy a nice dinner together.

So that's the end of another chapter. I'm going to be changing my name to fit my pic and closing. Only the toast which got buttered and Hikage Von blitz may refer to me as snugglesthefluffykitten. To the rest of you... I AM POOTIS MAN! And I bid you all adieu!
