Chapter 2

I woke up to a loud shriek followed by a cry for help. I Lazliy up with eyes half shut to see a harmles wurmple on May's sleeping bag.

"Ca-Ca-Carmine!" May yelled struggling to get out of her bag with her injured ankle.

"May" I said as I knelt and placed my hand on her shoulder. May that's just a little wurmple he can't hurt you" I turn my attention towards the Wurmple. " right little guy?" He wriggled his arms around in joy as I picked him up.

"That things gross" Maye said with a look of grimis on her face.

"What's wrong" I placed the warm pool directly in front of her face "he's adorable!" Wurmple drooled a little bit.

"Eww..." May looked as if she was about to cry. I carried the wurmple over to a nearby tree and allowed him to latch onto it and wander off.

"Is your ankle any better?" I asked.

"Kinda" she replied. " I hurts but I am sure I can walk now." We rolled up our sleeping bags and we're ready to move again.

" so where are we headed?" May asked.

"Rustbo" I replied.

" what?, but Rustbo is almost 3 towns away not counting routes and the forest?!" She out raged.

" we don't have a choice, if we do You get caught and y'all go home"

" but if we don't train will fall behind!" She argued.

"And if we stop to train we won't get anywhere because they'll catch up to us and take you away!"

" Who the hell said you had to take care of me!"

"Well...um " I didn't know what to say other than I just wanted a friend.

"Just leave me alone I'll take care of myself" she grabbed her things and started walking away.

"I'm sorry..." she keep walking away turned for a second and look back, Half heartedly wave and bye. I picked up my bag and slung it on my back and throughout bro. Bro shock his head as if he was to get water off of his body, stretched out and yawned.

" sorry, bro but would you mind walking with me." He jumped onto my shoulder and got comfortable. " so pro guess were on our own." Bro gave a reassuring smile and nod it as if to tell me we'll be fine. after traveling for sometime we reach the town of oldale." Well this isn't too exciting" looking around realizing this wasn't too different from Little Root.

" hey!" I turned to see who had yelled, a girl with short brown hair and thick glasses was pointing at me.

"Um...Hi?" I said nervously.

" don't you "um" me, you're a Pokémon Ahtrainer right?!"

" um... yes?"

"I challenge you to a battle!""

"Ah... Okay"

The odd girl jump back and threw out a zigzagoon. The zigzagoon snarled at bro then zigzagged back to its Trainor.

"ready to do this bro?"

Bro proceeded to leap off of my shoulder onto the ground on his hind legs.

"Zigzagoon use headbutt!" The girl shouted the zigzagoon slammed into a bra with it had knocking him down.

"Bro, get up and use absorb!"

Bro pushed himself up with his tail grabbing zigzag given and striking a hit.

"Zigzagoon hit back with tackle!" Zigzagoon charged at bro.

" bro! Use pound and throw it back" bro clotheslined zigzagoon smacking it back to its trainer with his tail. Zigzagoon Le passed out at its trainers feet.

" this is an over , jerk" The brown haired girl said as she returned her Pokémon she then turned and ran off to most likely a center.

" well, nice job bro" bro jumped back to my side ready to leave again. " wonder where May ran off too..." bro looked at me with his right round raised as if to say give me a 'are you serious' look. " what? I am worried. What if she gets caught." Bro didn't seem concerned with Mays well-being. However, I was deeply concerned.

I had no idea why I cared so much about this girl I just met. " bro we have to find her" bro gave a sigh "Bro we let her get caught, her journey well and before she even starts. But, where to look… she couldn't have gotten far. "

" are you looking for someone?" A voice said.

"Hello?" I called out looking around for its source.

" down here" it called I looked down to see a ralts staring at me with a grin.

"D-did you just talk!" I yelled I surprise.

" no, I'm speaking telepathically as of right now you're standing in the middle of town yelling at some poor little ralts" I looked around to see if anyone was staring at me, not a soul. " ha ha made you look" ralts chuckled.

" jerk…" I commented.

" hey, watch it I thought you needed help with something"

"Yeah I am looking for a girl named may "

"Hum… That way "she pointed at a tree.

"That's a tree "I said.

"I know dummy, behind that tree"

"May?" I called out, Maye came out of the spot ralts pointed out. She gave me a look, then glared at ralts.

" sell out" She said to ralts, it she giggled at may.

"Is this ralts yours? " I asked May.

" no, but it's been following me since I walked off, finally got rid of it but, found you "

"What were you doing over there anyway? "

She briefly looked left and right then pulled me into the trees as ralts scooted along wit us.

"This cop noticed me in a missing poster and tried to catch me "

I gave her a stern look.

" I know, I know you told me so"

"Does that mean you wanna come along again? " I asked her.

" yeah, sorry I got mad earlier it's just. I have these temperamental issues and… "

I cut her off.

" it's OK, I get it"

" so why had to rustbo?" May questioned.

"That's simple, the farther out you go the lower the chances of being recognized "

Ralts interrupted.

" apparently ralts has the same idea " I said after giving ralts a silent glare.

"Well, sounds good I guess " May said.

Ralts tugged on my pant leg to get my attention.

" I wish to come with you " ralts said.

"Well, all right then but, do you have a name?" I said.

"My name is Roku" She answered

"Well then, welcome to the team " I handed Roku a poke ball and she pressed the button, absorbing her into it.

"Why is it that easy?! " May exclaimed.

"What do you mean? "

"I mean I just lost 10 polka balls trying to catch my new skitty and that ralts just asked "

"Skitty can't talk " I said.

"Oh" she realized my point "well, still "

"We should really get moving" I suggested.

"Right, ah we kind a need supplies " May said with a sigh.

" all right stay here and I'll head into town. "

After a good half hour of walking around I arrived at the poke Mart. I only got some essentials such as super potions, and adults, paralysis heal, some berries etc. as I checked out to my horror the local news came on with me and may his face plastered on the screen reading "run aways. " The newscaster made up the story of us being "on "a modern-day Romeo and Juliet! "Two teenage lovers ran away from Little Root on their way to sinnoh. If you have any idea of their whereabouts please call the number below" The cashier turned to the monitor. " hey you look a lot like him " the cashier suspiciously modern. I had to think of a way out fast.

" well, that's my brother "

" oh, really what's your name? " The cashier stared me down like a serviper.

" Tom, Tom Lasky" I said mentallypunching myself.

"Huh, well I hope you find your brother Tom "

"Yeah, ah me too" I quickly grabbed my things rushing casually out the door. I came back to the woods to find me placing bows in her skittys ears.

" so apparently they're after me too"

"What?! Why?!" May asked.

" apparently we are runaway lovers..."

"Are you serious!" She exclaimed

" yeah embarrassing right? " May blushed

" come on let's get going!" Maye said as she returned skitty to its ball.

"Which way? "She asked

"Northwest we want to avoid petalburg at all cost. "

" why is that? "

"My father is the gym later there. "
