After getting through Route 201, May, Brendan, and the three Pokemon arrived in Oldale Town. The sun was directly above them, meaning...

"I'm starving!" May groaned, clutching her thin, growling stomach. "Wanna get some lunch?"

"Sure, but its on you!" Brendan teased, snickering.

"It would be anyway," she sighed. "Your broke, remember?"

He just smiled. But then, another growl was heard. It was a lot quieter though.

"Kiiiipppp..." Kips moaned by May's feet. Torchic and Sunny were in the same state, their little stomachs moaning along with themselves.

"I guess I'm not alone," May giggled.

"Yeah. Hey, theres a diner nearby that serves Pokemon and trainers. Wanna go there?"

"Is it expensive?"

Brendan blinked. "No."

"Then lets go! Food, here I come!"

May then marched like a soldier, a fist raised in the air, while her Pokemon followed her. Nearby people were watching her, including Brandon and Torchic, as she marched with Kips hopping, and Sunny crawling towards the small town. Brandon and Torchic just looked at each other before following her. A few watched them too. But among those watching the slightly separated group was one who is familiar to us, but not to them.

They watched the group from their hiding place, a shop's window, having his eyes on the girl wearing green with two small Pokemon following behind her. She was beautiful to someone's eyes, and they wanted to be the boy with the weird white hair following her. They were alone, having only one Pokemon that they weren't borrowing from their boss. They left the shop, disappearing into a group of people.

Meanwhile, May and Brandon arrived at the diner. It was big, but not too big. May was expecting the place to only have a few people, but she was no where near right. Instead, the place was packed, with only a few smaller tables open. It was dark, with people everywhere. There were few windows, and booths aliened the walls. One way to describe it is its loud, crowded, and was a lot like a club, but without alcohol. Kids and teens alike filled the seats, most of them having at least one Pokemon with them. Some had the Pocket Monsters of the area, but many of them had Pokemon May and Brendan had never seen before. One that especially caught May's eye was a little yellow one with pointy ears, a long, lightning bolt shaped tail, and had red cheeks. It was sitting on an older teen girl's shoulder. May, curious, stepped towards the girl while the others looked for a table.

"Hi!" she told the stranger. "I'm just wondering, but what Pokemon is that?"

The girl looked up from her sandwich. "This is sparky," her cool, but cold demeanor replied. "He's a Pikachu. I can't believe you didn't know that."

"You calling me dumb?!" May's temper was taking over. She felt a grip on her shoulder, which pulled her away.

"Don't get yourself in trouble," a voice whispered in her ear. The face backed away. It was Brendan's. "Got it? Not everyone around here's like you. They don't ask complete strangers questions about their Pokemon."

May's face went red. "I..."

"Don't worry about it. C'mon, Kips found a table."

He put his arm around her back, making May both comfortable and uncomfortable, and slightly dragged her towards the corner. A lone table sat, where two cushioned booths sat in front. Kips, Torchic, and Sunny were on the floor, sitting comfortably on a circular rug. Brendan let go of her, and the two sat down. Brendan picked up a menu while May spoke up.

"You know, I expected this place to be a bit quieter, and maybe a bit friendlier..."

"Its not always this way." Brendan's voice was a bit muffled by his menu. "Its usually quieter. You wanna go somewhere else?"

"No, no. Its okay. I don't mind."

But then, a girl's scream was heard. The two looked up near the front to find something quite unusual.

A man wearing a black cloak with a big, shaggy black and gray dog by his side, and a small, green lizard with two curved tails on his shoulder stood at the door. His face was covered with a hood, making impossible to see his face. He had shoulder length blonde hair, and seemed like the kind to watch out for. But there was one thing May noticed other then those things.

He was staring at the back of the room. At THEIR table.

She gulped. It was times like these that she wished she was back in bed.

So, who wants to go to a place like that?! Not me! Anyway, did the stranger sound familiar? If he doesn't, then just wait and see! Also, thanks SilverWolfDreamer, PokemonfanXxX, and Sage Strike2 for the reviews! I love hearing from ya'll!
