max sat, watching ash battle. Pikachu was doing well. may really did suck at battling. that's why she does contests.
max sighed, and he stood up, turning toward Brock.
"hey Brock. I'm bored. can we go explore?" max asked, giving his attention on Brock, who was making food.
"sorry max, we are all busy. maybe go find someone to play with. maybe Pikachu? or Smitty?" Brock gave a grin.
max eyed Pikachu, and turned to Brock again. "uh. they are battling right now." he said, pointing toward ash.
"well sorry max. we can't play right now. go explore!" Brock said, giving a look at the forest.
"fine. i will..." max took a step towards the forest, and took one last look back at the others.
