Naughty Love Chapter 10

"You've done so well!" the black haired boy exclaimed as he hugged his beloved Pikachu.
"Pika pika!" the little yellow mouse smiled happily.

"You did well yourself, Ash! I saw some amazing combinations." Brock added whilst retiring his own Pokémon. The trainer and breeder had just finished an intensive training on the big field next to the resort. All combinations and moves went great, so they both decided to relax during the rest of the day.

"Where are the others?" Brock was concerned. They hadn't seen them since breakfast.

"I don't know." Pikachu jumped on his hat and looked around curiously.
"Pika!" His tiny yellow paw pointed towards a girl sitting at the side of the training field.

"Is that May?" Brock wondered
"I can't see it either, she's too far. I will take a look, okay?" Ash proposed. Brock nodded.
"I'm going to the resort to search Dawn and Drew."The breeder walked away as Ash walked towards this girl he hoped was May.

As the young trainer, accompanied by his Pikachu, approached the girl, he already thought about the delicious meal they were about to have and about the awesome contest coming up. He couldn't wait to show everyone his own moves and combinations. He didn't expect to win though; Drew, May and Dawn were much more experienced and they also had some awesome combinations. He now was close to the girl who was clearly May and waved.

"May! Come here!"

The brunette was sitting on the ground with her arms around her legs, looking at the ground. When Ash called her, she looked up shortly, but then looked back down.

"Why isn't she coming?" he wondered as he ran further towards her. He then saw May sobbing and became really worried. Since May was still not paying attention to him, he placed himself on the ground next to May and looked at her attentively.

"May? What's wrong?"

"… Nothing. I'm okay," The brunette sighed as she tried to hold back her sobs.

"Come on, you can tell me", he insisted.

"You won't understand, Ash…"
"I can try."
"Um… I guess. So um…" A little silence fell.
"I have sort of a crush on Drew, you might already have noticed…" she continued.
"Really? I didn't notice at all , actually…" both Pikachu and May rolled their eyes.
"I saw Harley today and he told me he saw Drew with another girl…"
"So…?"
"They were hugging, Ash…" May said as she sobbed again.
"Oh…" The boy didn't know what to say. He just gave May a tissue as Pikachu jumped on her lap to comfort her. After they had sit in silence next to each other, Ash spoke:
"Drew always looked like a sort of player to me…"
The brunette looked up curiously.
"You know, players are really good at manipulating girls' feelings… Sometimes these girls think that they are in love, but in reality they're just charmed and they like the attention they get. So they don't really love him."
" I guess that could be right… Heck, when did you get this mature, Ash?"

"I'm not, Brock told me that", Ash grinned as he thought about the 'serious talk' he recently had with Brock.

"He also told me there are plenty of waterpokémon in the sea", he continued.
"Brock sure did a great job", the brunette chuckled.
"I'm sure you will find a guy that really loves you and cares about you, May. You deserve it. Everything will be all right!" Ash smiled as he put his hand on May's shoulder and looked deep into her eyes. The way he acted really made her speechless. His chocolate brown eyes were full of enthusiasm, but also showed so much worry, that she couldn't do anything but smile.
