Chapter twenty one

Too close for comfort

"We have to hurry!" Amelia called out in panic as she raced ahead of Ash and May.

"Amelia wait!" Ash called out as he chased after his younger sister with May tagging along.

All three ran down the hallway until they arrived at where they heard the sound of the gunshot. They all saw Lucas holding a gun right in front of the boss of team cyclone. On the floor was the boss of team cyclone. He was shaking in fear. Lucas had just missed him by just one centimetre from his head. Lucas was in shock as well that he had just shot a gun and nearly killed his own boss.

"Lucas stop!" Amelia called out as she ran and hugged her older brother by his back. "Don't shoot." Amelia cried as tears ran down her face.

Ash ran to Lucas and grabbed the gun out of his hand and threw it away.

"What were you doing?!" Ash yelled in anger. "Did you know you were about to kill a person?!"

"A..A…" Lucas said as he was still in shock.

"Let's go already." Amelia cried. "Before anything else happens."

Ash just stormed off with May by his side. Soon Amelia and Lucas joined and left the room.

*~*~*~*

All of the three hoped onto their pokemon and soon flew off heading to Mossdeep. Ash was angry at his older brother just like last time. May was behind him as she wrapped her arms around his chest. Lucas was showing them the way to Mossdeep while Ash and Amelia were flying side by side.

"I'm sorry." Lucas said.

"Sorry isn't going to fix what you got us in. You even involved May into this." Ash replied in angry. "Your just like dad. A cold hearted criminal."

Lucas stopped which made Ash and Amelia stop their pokemon. Lucas quickly turned around to face his brother.

"What did you say?!" Lucas yelled.

"A cold hearted criminal!" Ash yelled like he didn't't care.

"I will never be dad!" Lucas yelled back.

"Too late Lucas!" Ash yelled. "First you join a criminal origination that isn't dad's then you steal pokemon then steal important documents. Then you do something so bad that you involve me, Amelia and now May! And now you were about to kill a person. How bad can you get Lucas?!"

"Stop it." May said as she cuddled Ash even more. "This isn't helping."

"Please stop." Amelia added.

"I'm not stopping until the words I'm saying is getting thought that thick skull of our brother Amelia!" Ash called out. "What has gone in that head of yours?"

"I'm doing what is right Ash!" Lucas yelled back.

"You call that right?" Ash said. "I don't think so. Oh why did you have to be like dad Lucas?" Ash sighed.

"Dad is a good person Ash." Amelia said. "We just didn't have enough time to spend with him."

"Good?" Ash called back. "We had to leave home because of him. Our lives were ruined. You had to go and live with Auntie while Mom and I went to live in Pallet while Lucas over here was in his Johto journeys."

"STOP IT!" May yelled.

All of them stopped and became silent quickly.

"We all know we all have our problems but blaming on each other isn't going to help. Why can't we just talk this without yelling, without blaming each other?." May said.

"Yeah your right." Ash said as his voice dropped from yelling to normal. "But let's head to Mossdeep to meet up with Brock and Max." Ash told everyone.

"Yeah let's go and meet up with them." Amelia said.

All of them flew to Mossdeep without saying a word.

*~*~*~*

It was late in Mossdeep. Ash, Amelia and Lucas had arrived at sunset. Pikachu was lit up with happiness when he saw his old master again. Max was glad to see his older sister back. Everyone was glad that everybody was back in tip top shape.

As the moon's reflection shown like a diamond on the sea May sat by the beach as she watched the sea touch the sandy beach. She heard footsteps coming towards her. She turned to her left and saw it was Ash.

"Ash?" May asked. "What are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't't I ask that question?" Ash replied as he took a seat next to May. "Anyway you about that kiss back there. Well I have been thinking."

"What are you thinking about?" May asked as she sifted herself closer to Ash.

"Well…" Ash said with a blush on his face. "I umm really like you May." Ash said as he slowly moved his hand on top of May's.

May blushed red straight away. She didn't't know Ash would actually have feelings to any girl like her.

"Well Ash I..I… I like you too." May replied with a smile. "I really do."

The two just smiled at each other. They had just said something that was buried in their hearts for a long time and where glad they had said it. May couldn't help it but to hug Ash with joy.

"I'm really happy Ash." May told Ash.

"So am I." Ash replied as he wrapped his arms around May.

Meanwhile two people where watching from a bush not far from the two lovers.

"I don't think this is a good idea Amelia." Lucas whispered.

"Pika pi." Pikachu added.

"What's so bad peeking at our brother's love life?" Amelia whispered back.

"Well may I suggest that you would be in hospital in the next few weeks and Ash will never trust you again."

"Well I guess your right. Ash still hates you remember?"

"Well I do understand why he hates me so much. Now come on. Let's leave these two alone Amelia."

Amelia just looked at her older brother as he hugged his girlfriend in his arms. A smile soon grew on her face.

"I'm glad that he is finally happy." Amelia whispered before joining Lucas and Pikachu.

Meanwhile Ash and May finally got stopped hugging and got off the beach holding hands. With a smile on both of their faces. Finally happy with each other.

"Ash?" May asked.

"What is it?"

"Are you ready for the next battle frontier brain here in Mossdeep?"

"Of course!" Ash replied with determination. "I never refuse a battle."

"Of course." May giggled. "I should of known."
