Hello and welcome to the tenth chapter of the story, I'm sorry that it's a little short but I don't have so much time to finish it on.

But now the only thing that's left to say is....

R&R

Enjoy the chapter!


"Why do you look so strange big brother?" The little girl asked the older boy, confused. "Are you sick?"

"What?" The trainer with the rodent on his shoulder asked, puzzled. "Why would I be sick?"

"You have a strange look on your face!" She stated stubbornly as she rode on his back towards the hotel. "Do you feel weird?"

"Weren't you supposed to be tired?" Ash asked, annoyed his sister. "Aren't you...."

He was interrupted as he heard the little girl snore softly as she rested her head on his back, Ash looked at Pikachu, the rodent made a sign in front of him that mean that his sister wasn't faking.

The trainer sighed, Amelia was getting more and more heavy as the time passed by, and she always loved to ride on his back. He shivered at the thought of the possibility of Amelia's and Misty's wrath when he had to tell them a few years later that he wasn't able to carry his sister like this anymore.

"Did you enjoy yourself tonight, Pikachu?" He decided to break his thoughts and ask his pokemon. "You seemed to have rather a lot of fun when I came to pick you up."

"Pika!" The little rodent nodded happily. Pikachu had been playing with the other pokemon when Ash came and told him that it was time to go, he had especially fun to play with May's Blaziken. But when he played with the other pokemon he felt some sort of tension in the air, like they suspected him and the others for lying to them of who they were.

"Pika-Pikachu." The rodent looked at his master with a tilted head. "Pika?"

"We didn't lie to them!" Ash defended himself. "We just haven't told them the full story yet."

"Pikachu!" The rodent hit him lightly on top if the boy's head.

"Ouch!" He fake-pouted and rubbed the spot with his left hand as he put more support to his right to hold his sister on his back. "Fine, I will tell her tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"

"Pika..." The pokemon nodded as he placed himself in a more comfortable position on his master's shoulder as they saw the hotel appear in the horizon.

"But you got to admit one thing...." The trainer smirked a hidden smirk. "That Slaking almost got you!"

"Pika!" The pokemon retorted. "Pikachu! Pika pi! Pika pi chu!" Pikachu jumped down from his master's shoulder and began to run towards the doors, leaving Ash and Amelia behind him.

"Hey! Wait up!" Ash shouted silently as he began to run with the girl still on his back, he had really hurt Pikachu's pride this time.


At the Petalburg gym, inside the house...


May still stood and gazed out from the window, it was like she was trying to catch another sight of the two people that had recently walked away from her house. The brunette sighed, she knew that she wouldn't see them again tonight. She also didn't like the fact that she had promised to tell Dawn about everything that transpired in school, it wasn't something she wanted to do of her own free will, but a promise is a promise.

She decided to walk down towards the gym and pick up her shoes that she had dropped as she hugged her boyfriend after his battle....

"Boyfriend...." May smiled, she loved that word over anything else right now.

She silently walked down the stairs, and looked around. She could hear somebody taking care of the dishes in the kitchen and guessed that it was her mother. May silently sneaked passed the kitchen, she didn't want to talk with her mother right now, and continued towards the gym.

Moments later and she was there. She had always liked how the greenhouse looked at the night, it looked so beautiful and peaceful. She saw her shoes lying in the middle of the battlefield and walked towards them, she bent down and picked them up as she brushed away some of the dirt that had been left on them.

"I was wondering when you were going to pick them up!" She jumped terrified at the sudden outburst and looked around quickly with a shoe in each hand. She relaxed a little as she saw her father's apologetic smile, but it then turned into a frown.

"Have you been here all the time?"

"I've been cleaning up the gym." He defended himself with a slight laugh. "That boy really knows how to destroy a battlefield!"

"It was your Slaking!" May defended Ash with a glare at her father. "His Pikachu didn't do any damage to the field!"

"About the battle..." Her father frowned a little. "I couldn't help but notice that my usual support was one man short... or should I say girl..."

"I... I..." May didn't know what to say, had her father hear as she rooted for Ash?

But to her immense confusion; Norman laughed a true and hearty laughter. She watched with an even more confused look as he came up to her and hugged her.

"May..." He ceased his laughter. "You know what this reminded me about?"

"No..." She tried to think of another time she had cheered for anyone except her dad.

"It reminds me about after my first battle with your mother's father, the only difference is that both me and your mother were confronted by her father." He smiled weakly at the moment. "It's nothing wrong to cheer for the one you love, and I mean love that reaches beyond the family!"

"So, you don't have anything against the fact that Ash and I are a couple now?" May asked, her mind filled with hope. "You won't be angry or hurt him?"

"As long as you are happy and he treats you well, then I won't do a thing!" He laughed and patted his daughter at the back. "You have my full support!"

"Thanks dad!" She squealed and hugged her father, she had forgotten that she held her shoes and that the high-heels were poking into his back. Norman winced a little at the pain first but then smiled lovingly and responded his oldest child's hug. They broke that embrace after a half minute.

"Get to bed now, May." He smiled. "You have had a long day."

"Yeah..." The brunette yawned and walked out from the greenhouse with the shoes in her hand, she didn't hear anything in the kitchen anymore and figured out that her mother had probably already gone to bed. She sneaked quietly up the stairs and towards her room. On the way, she saw that her brother's room was open and decided to take a peak.

She saw her little brother sleep in there with a peaceful look on his face, May suddenly remembered her makeup set that she had in her room and pondered the idea for a short moment. But when she saw the look on her brother's sleeping face she came to think about what had happened a few hours prior, how Ash had calmed her down and how Amelia had stood up for her.

May smiled as she closed her brother's door after she whispered a silent 'Good night' to him.


The next morning 06:30...


May groaned in her bed as she tried to get some more sleep, but her mother wouldn't let her.

"May, get up this instance!" She yelled at her, annoyed. "It's your own fault that you were up so late last night!"

"But I'm too tired..." The young brunette groaned and hid her face in her pillow. "Can't I just skip school today?"

She immediately regretted her words, she looked up from the pillow and shivered a little at the sight of her mother's face.

"You... want... to... skip... school....?" She whispered with a hoarse voice. "Don't you care about your...."

"I'm up!" May quickly said and took a big jump out of her bed to run to the bathroom, she didn't want to hear her mother's lecture about how her future would be ruined if she skipped one class.

May washed her up fast, it only took 50 minutes, and then she changed into her clothes that Ash had first seen her in. She quickly ran down towards the kitchen to get something to eat, she was happy when she saw that nobody was down here.

She quickly ate up her breakfast and left the dishes on the table, she thought that somebody else could clean them up. Then the young brunette ran out of the door.

Half a minute later, she came into her house again, ran up the stairs, pass her mother, into her room, picked up her fanny pack and pokeballs, ran down the stairs, looked at the clock on the wall, gasped at how much it was, raised her speed, ran out of the door and shut it with a great 'bang'.

Caroline sighed as she came out to the kitchen after had watched her oldest child get herself ready for school, she always forgot something and then had to run after it again. She was just like her father...


At the Petalburg hotel, in room 53.... 11:30...


"Wake up!" Ash mumbled and cursed the person that was trying to get him up. "It's getting late!"

"Late for what...?" The trainer asked both tired and annoyed. "We're not booked for anything Amelia, and we haven't got an appointment or something like that..."

"But I'm hungry!"

"Ask Pikachu to make you something then..."

"Pikachuu...." He heard a muffled noise and felt something turn around on his stomach.

"Okay then..." He yawned after he had seen the tired, little mouse. "Give me an hour..."

"Now!" She whined and climbed up in Ash's bed, she then crawled over the trainer and his pokemon and braced her feet against the wall. She started to push Ash from the bed with all her might as she used the wall for support, slowly she felt him sliding away towards the edge on the bed until...

'Thump!'

"Ouch!" The trainer rubbed his head as he sat on the floor with his pokemon beside him and glared at the girl. "What was that for?"

"I'm hungry!"

He sighed, he knew that it already was a lost battle.

"Fine..." He mumbled. "I'm going to make you something to eat..."

He put his pants on and then made the little girl something to eat.

After Amelia, Ash and his pokemon had eaten ,they decided what they should do today.

"I want to stay here aaaaall day!" The little girl chirped happily and started to jump up and down. "Then I can play with Chuie! And Charrie! And Nummy! And Otty! And Toisy! And Apey! And then..."

"Calm down sis!" Ash had to shout to get her attention. She looked at him with a puzzled look as he gulped a little, he didn't like her reaction. "I think that I will go and look around in the town today, we will be going home tomorrow and it's something that I need to clear up here first."

"But..." The little girl started, she tried to think of some sort of solution. "No play?"

"Sorry sis." He smiled apology. "But I need to get some important things done today, is that alright with you?"

"But I don't want to go out!" The little girl whined as she felt her eyes water up. "I want to play!"

"But I need my pokemon today Amelia." He sighed, it was exactly this reaction that he had expected to get from her. "I don't know what else I could do."

Then an idea suddenly struck him.

"Amelia..." He tried to approach her slowly with his words as he looked at her with hopeful eyes.

"Y-yes..." The little girl sobbed and looked at him with tearful eyes.

"What would you say about spending the day here with Nurse Joy?" He prayed that it would work.

"Nurse Joy?"

"Yes. You know, she's the nice woman in the reception."

"Would she play with me?"

"It has never hurt to ask, has it?" He told her with a comforting smile. "What do you say?"

"Oki doki!" She started to laugh and then she took up the rodent from the table and started to drag her brother towards the door. "I wanna play now!"

"Calm down Amelia!" He laughed with relief that it had worked. "I just need to take a shower before I go to town."

Ash walked towards the bathroom after he had made Amelia to promise not to do something to Pikachu that he wouldn't approve of.

After 20 minutes they were heading towards the lobby, Ash was hoping that Nurse Joy would agree on taking care of the little girl for the day. He was hoping that the nurse didn't know about the little girl's playful nature and mood.

He saw the cheerful woman down at the desk, sorting out some paperwork. It was only the three of them in the lobby... come to think of it, Ash had never seen anyone else except for them down here.

"Hi Nurse Joy!" He smiled as he walked towards the desk. "How ya being?"

"Mr. Ketchum!" The nurse smiled. "I've been good, thank you. What can I do for you?"

"First off, call me Ash... not Mr. Ketchum, not Master Ketchum, not Master Ash, just Ash." He laughed slightly, embarrassed. "Second, I was wondering if you could be so nice as to take care of my little sister for the day?"

"Of course I can!" Joy smiled, but the smile soon faded a little. "But are you sure that she wants to be taken care by somebody she barely knows?"

"Look for yourself..." The trainer sweat-dropped and pointed towards the desk.

Nurse Joy turned around and saw the little girl play with some pencils that she had found in a really cute way. When Amelia saw that the nurse looked at her she only smiled adorable and waved at her with a little laughter.

"Is it okay with you?" Ash asked for the second time. "I would really appreciate if you could have her here for the day."

"There's no problem at all!" The nurse smiled warmly as she looked at the girl. "Such a cute thing can't do too much damage!"

"You have no idea..." Ash thought as he inwardly sweat-dropped, but outside he just smiled and said. "Then I'll be picking her up later, see ya!"

"Bye bye!" The two females yelled and waved behind him.


Ash had been walking in the town for some hours now, he had to admit that he never thought that it would feel this good to not be recognized as the leader of The Kanto Elite Four.

But then he sighed, in a few days this would all be over and if it came out that he had been here on vacation, he would soon be famous and recognized by everyone here too. He shook his head, he never knew that being one of the Elite Four was such an important job, he never knew that you never could relax... if you weren't with the one you loved...

The thought of May made his body heat up and think about visiting her at school, but then he came to remember that May had spoken about her crazy classmate that idolized him or something like that. He didn't want May to know who he was from anyone but himself and he knew that May had to find out sooner or later, that's why he was going to tell her as soon as he saw her.

He looked around, he was in the middle of town now. It was filled with shops and everything a crazy shopaholic could dream of. But Ash wasn't a shopaholic, he didn't even like shopping. The trainer shivered at the thought of entering the stores and just walked right pass them, right towards the town's gym where he knew a girl that had a special place in his heart would be.

He frowned slightly at the name of the sign that was placed at the corner of the way.

"'Norman Street'..." Ash thought. "Something tells me that he's rather well known in this neighbourhood..."

The trainer hadn't been able to see the sign before, the second time was because it was too dark and the first time was because Amelia had wanted to play a game with Ash that she had named 'Blind Big Brother'.

Ash saw the big gym in the distance and raised his speed slightly, he didn't know why though. May had told him that she would be home in about an hour or something like that, but Ash wanted to meet May's parents and brother a little too, he liked her whole family.

Ash reached into his pocket and picked out the photograph May had taken of them, he almost worshiped it and he hadn't let Amelia hold it at all because he didn't want to risk it getting stained or ruined.

Suddenly, Ash saw a girl around his age walk towards her house, he instantly recognized the beauty as May Maple. Ash raised his speed a little more, but then he frowned a bit by her walking style, it seemed like something was wrong with her today. He shrugged it off and began to run slightly faster towards her.

"May!" He shouted after her with a smile as his heart pounded with both fatigue and the thought of his girlfriend.


At the Petalburg Pokemon School... 08:11


May sighed in relief as she saw her school at end of the road she was running on, she slowed her movement down as she knew that school didn't start for another nine minutes.

Several people were walking beside her, towards the same destination. She saw trainers, coordinators and breeders. Normally she would despise the trainers that walked at her side and in front of her, but she didn't do that anymore, she hadn't felt that since a very special raven haired trainer changed her view on them.

She walked through the school-gate and headed towards her class, it was time for 'Pokemon Care', it was overall a class for breeders where you groomed your pokemon and tried to discover their inner beauty.

She walked inside the building and looked around for her friends, until she remembered that Dawn didn't have this class, it was only Drew that she wanted to talk to so she walked towards him and sat down beside him.

"Hi Drew!" She smiled a bubbly smile that could compete with Dawn's. "How's it going?"

"Bad..." The grass haired boy sighed. "Life's too cruel!"

"What's wrong?" The brunette asked her friend worriedly. "Is it Harley?"

He nodded and started to fiddle with his pen that lay on the desk in front of him.

"Mind talking about it?"

He sighed and looked at her with a hurt expression.

"No."

"Did you tell him how you feel?" May refused to let the subject drop. "Did he reject you?"

"I don't wanna talk about it..." He mumbled and crossed his arms as he glared towards the floor. "Leave it, okay?"

"Did he..." May was interrupted by her friend.

"He was together with Paul! OK!? Happy?!" Drew shouted with all his might, the whole room was staring at them but he didn't care. "He asked me just to be friends with him! So leave it!!"

"I'm..." May didn't know what she should say. "I'm sorry."

"Yeah, yeah..." He mumbled embarrassed, he was now aware of the attention they had got and tried to ignore the curious looks he was receiving. "Let's not talk about it anymore."

"But you're hurt!" May stated and didn't want to let the subject go so easily. "You can't just let it go so easily!"

"He doesn't want me!" Drew growled as he glared at the brunette, the ones around them were hoping for a little argument between the two close friends.

"You're too good for him!" May spoke truthfully, she had never seen the big deal with Harley, she had always thought that Harley had some kind of unhealthy fetish for pokemon. "You'll find something better!"

"I guess you're right..." Drew sighed. "So... has anything good happened you then?"

May giggled a bit at Drew's lame attempt to get some information out of her.

"Drew..." her giggled had turned into a laughter. "If you want to know what happened between Ash and me, I can say that we're a couple now!"

The two humans started to... squeal? and ignored the looks they got from the others in the class, that was until the teacher told them to shut up and then divided them into pairs to groom a grass pokemon.

Drew and May got paired up and had to groom an Oddish, May smiled a little as she groomed the pokemon that she found absolutely adorable.

"I don't even know what he looks like!" Drew suddenly burst out as he accidentally pulled one of the leafs on the pokemon's head and made it cry out in pain. "You haven't let us see him yet!"

"Well, I'm sorry but..." May interrupted herself as she came to think on the picture she had in her fanny pack.

She took it out and looked at it with a smile until she handed it to Drew. The 'male' coordinator took it and examined it for some time, he felt a little jealous that they looked at each other in a way that he wanted to look at the love of his life.

"He doesn't look too bad..." He suddenly mumbled and handed back the picture to May. "Not bad at all..."

"Don't get any ideas." May warned him sweetly, but at the same time with a deadly and threatening undertone. "He's mine!"

"I was only saying!" Drew defended himself, annoyed. "Geez May, what's your problem?"

"That we're going to get left behind if you don't start cleaning the dirt between its leafs!" She scolded him a bit as she made a gesture towards the little pokemon that was waiting patiently. "I'll tell you everything, let's just get this pokemon groomed."

The two started to take care of the little, plant pokemon as May told him about her evening with Ash. Drew was really impressed when May told him about the battle Ash had with her father, Drew had battled Norman some times and always lost to him. She told him about her boyfriend's little sister and how she treated her brother and then how sweet she was and everything.

The class continued without May and Drew noticing it until the bell rang and students began to leave the room, they quickly gathered their things together and walked towards the next class.

They were a little surprised to see that Dawn wasn't in the 'Pokemon History'-class, but then they found out that her mother had reported her to be a little late for the school for an unknown reason.

Drew and May continued to whisper to each other about the last night as they were half listening to the teacher that was talking about some kind of prophecy that happened in Johto some time ago that May didn't really believe in, she found it hard to believe that an 11 year old boy had been able to stop three legendary birds and then ride on the back of a Lugia.

"When are you going to meet him again?" The grass haired male asked his friend. "Can I come too?"

"I don't know..." May seemed to hesitate, Ash had never told her what he thought about homosexuals, she didn't want to either ruin her friendship with Drew or her relationship with Ash. But she remembered that he hadn't frowned or anything as she told him about Dawn and Drew and that must've been a sign for that he didn't mind them! "Maybe..." Was her only answer.

The male just shrugged and continued to listen at the teacher that now was talking about some kind of pokemon that only awoke every 1000 years.

May now counted the minutes until the lesson was over, she was a little excited to see Dawn and tell her about her evening with Ash.

When the bell rang for the end of this lesson she quickly ran out and hoped to find her friend at the school gates, she was right.

"May!" She heard her friend yell as she too started to run to greet her best friend. "It's great to see you!"

"You too Dawn!" May laughed and hugged the blue haired girl. "I and Ash are together now!"

"That's great!!" Dawn squealed and started to jump up and down, getting some attention from the boys that we passing by. Dawn quickly hugged her friend May and the two of them started to jump together.

"Tell me everything!" She then demanded as she and May had calmed down.

The brunette nodded and started to tell her the whole story. She told her about the embarrassing conversation between her father and Ash, about Amelia's little disappearance in her house, about how Ash had escorted her to the table, she told her about how Amelia and Max had returned to the table and the discussion at it.

May took a pause for air as she saw her friend wait excited for the next part of the story. She smiled and started to tell her that her father had challenged Ash to a battle and that Ash wiped the floor with him, she then told her about how Ash and her walked up towards her room and then how Max and Amelia interrupted them... In other words, she told her everything that had happened that night.

"That's so romantic!" Dawn squealed happily for her friend. "Can I see the picture?!"

"Yeah!" May nodded with her face beaming and looked through her fanny pack.

"You will grow tired about it..." They heard Drew mumble from behind. "May has been talking non-stop about how 'great' he is and how they are going to get married and have five children and..."

"I did NOT say that!" The brunette growled in both anger and embarrassment. "Just shut up and look at the picture again!"

She finally found it and handed it to Dawn that took it eagerly and started to examine it.

May could see the little smile on Dawn's face, but then the smile disappeared and her eyes grew huge, she could then see the colour disappear on her face as she collapsed onto the ground, she had fainted.

"Dawn!" May and Drew shouted and ran towards their friend, they lifted her up and quickly carried her towards the school nurse.

They lead her through the door that was the door to the teacher's dormitory, they quickly knocked on the closest door and heard somebody approach it. The door opened and revealed a woman in her forties with pink hair and a soft face.

"Nurse Joy!" They shouted in unison. "Our friend just fainted!"

"Calm down children." She told them in a calm voice. "Let's take her inside and see how she'd feeling."

Drew and May nodded and carried the blue haired girl inside the room and laid her on a couch that was placed against the wall under the window.

"Tell me what happened." Joy said as she started to examine the girl on the couch.

May began to tell her everything that had happened, everything from that they had seen her and until she fainted.

When she was done the nurse smiled comforting.

"She's just in shock, she will be back to perfect health in just a few minutes!"

"That's good to hear." Drew nodded as he looked at his friend with slight worry. "I wonder what made her pass out..."

May had also thought about it, was it something with Ash? Had he done something bad to Dawn a while ago that she remembered? Had he hurt her or something like that before? She didn't have time to think more as they saw the girl in the couch move and look around.

"Where...." Dawn looked around with a confused look. "Where am I?"

"You're at the school nurse Dawn." May quickly walked up to her friend. "You fainted."

"But why did you do that?" Drew joined the conversation and walked up to her. "Was it about the picture?"

May looked at the picture that Dawn still held in her hand, Dawn noticed it and handed the photo to May.

"May..." Dawn began in amazement. "Why didn't you tell us that you're together with Master Ash?"

"Who?" May asked puzzled, why would she call Ash for 'Master Ash'?

"The boy on the picture!" She almost shouted.

"That's Ash, he isn't a master or something like that." May shook her head.

"He hasn't told you who he is?" Dawn asked with big eyes.

"His name is Ash and he's from Kanto and is a trainer!" May stated stubbornly. "What are you saying?"

"I just got to show you something!" The bluenette shrieked and started to look through her backpack that she was still wearing, she finally found some kind of magazine and took it out and handed it to May. "Look at the front!"

May looked at the magazine and frowned a bit, there was a boy on the picture standing on the battlefield with a Pikachu in front of him. The boy was wearing some sort of black cloak with a black hood and it looked like he was battling. His black hair....

The brunette gasped in shock as she saw that the boy on the front page was none other than Ash, her Ash. The pokemon in front of him was Pikachu and she quickly recognized the rest of his features. She felt like fainting as she saw the headlines

"The Leader of The Kanto Elite Four is still undefeated after three years, who will win his title and heart?"

"What..." She tried to say, but the only question that she was able to say was. "Why does it stand 'and heart' here?"

"You don't know?" The blue haired girl gasped. "He has been ranked the hottest guy in Kanto two times already! Every girl dreams of him, and he dates the really important and..." Dawn knew that she had gone too far.

"He... dates... important people?" May whispered as she felt a tear come down from her cheek, what was she then? Was she just some kind of entertainment on his holiday? She looked at the picture that portrayed Ash and May, was he only pretending to like her? Was he going to leave her as soon as his vacation was over?

She did the only thing she had in mind right now, she tore the picture into pieces and threw it on the floor.

Her friends gasped at her action.

"May..." Dawn tried to reach her friend. "Are you OK?"

The brunette didn't respond, instead she ran with such a speed that her legs barely could handle. She ran out of the building, out of the school, she wanted to run out of the town and region, she just wanted to be alone.

After some minutes her legs couldn't carry her speed and she started to walk towards her house with tears flowing down her face, her head was hanging down as she didn't have the strength to lift it up.

"May!"

The brunette stopped at the sound of the voice of the peeson that she didn't want to meet right now, she didn't quite look up but she could hear his steps come closer and closer.

"It's nice to see you again!" Ash smiled, but he suddenly halted himself from hugging her as she didn't seemed to give him any response. "Is something wrong?"

"Why would anything be wrong...?" He heard a very silent and depressed voice, but he didn't take too much notice of it and thought that it had probably just gone wrong on some test or something like that.

"I just want to say..." He seemed to hesitate and could feel the brunette listen closely. "I'm leaving tomorrow with Amelia and want to say that..."

It suddenly snapped into May, she looked straight into his eyes and saw Ash back away a little as he saw the tears flow down her red and puffy eyes.

"And what?" She whispered loudly but harshly. "Tell me that you're the leader of The Kanto Elite Four? Tell me that I just was some kind of entertainment? Tell me that you're sorry but can't we just be friends? Laugh right into my face?"

"May..." Ash was dumbfound, he knew that May would figure out who he was sooner or later, but never like this. "You don't understand..."

"I don't understand WHAT?!?!" May shouted with all her might. "THAT YOU JUST LIED TO ME? THAT I'M JUST SOME KIND OF ENTERTAINMENT?!"

"Please..." Ash could feel his own tears build up a little. "Listen..."

"I WILL NOT LISTEN TO YOU!!" May cried as her tears covered the most of her sight. "I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU, I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!"

She walked up to him and slapped him with all her might, Ash was taken back and backed away as he rubbed the sore cheek.

"Let me explain..."

"I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM YOU!!" May cried like she was three years old, she was ashamed of herself but she didn't care, she didn't care about anything anymore.

"But..."

"I don't want to talk with you anymore..." May didn't even try to stop the tears fall down her face anymore. "I don't wanna see you anymore... I hate you..." She whispered the last words, but it was loud enough for Ash to hear.

She turned around and started to walk towards her house, she didn't even turn back once to look at the boy.

Ash got down on his knees, why was he so stupid? Couldn't he foreseen that this would happen?! He punched the ground with all his power and swore that he could feel something break.

The little rodent looked in sadness and fear at its master, he had never seen Ash like this before and he didn't know if he was ever going back to normal. But one thing he did know: Something was broken inside his trainer, something was broken and it would take a lot to repair it...

End of chapter 10


That was surely a short relationship :/

I've to admit that I was planning to end this story here, I always wanted to write a story with a sad ending, but I'm not so sure now...

If I get enough reviews I might continue to write this one and maybe make it end in advanceshipping ;)

It's better to review later than never and I'll maybe be seeing you in the next chapter!

R&R!
