Chapter 4B
Brendan had just gotten up and started moving when he suddenly felt himself get shoved backwards with nobody in front of him. He checked what May was seeing, and realized that May had been knocked over on her side by her friends. He helped May get up, and helped her stay up while she fought. After the fight which she won, the two of them headed off, and Brendan rushed out from behind the lab. Brendan spotted Ethan just as he exited the lab, and waved friendlily. Brendan immediately regretted it, knowing full well that May had just randomly moved her own hand. Ethan casually asked Brendan "So, what're you doing behind the lab?"
Brendan quickly tightened May's muffler with her help, then May answered "Just bonding with Treekip."
"You know Brendan, I wanted to ask. Why did you name him Treekip? I thought for sure it'd be like some pun on Mudkip or its evolutions, or a spoof of your own name. Instead, you gave a name that's more like what you'd give a grass type!"
May quickly said "I honestly don't remember, it just popped into my head and I didn't want to not listen to fate. I probably had the trees on my mind."
Ethan said "Ok..."
The two of them headed forwards on their own journey, and Brendan nodded slightly as if to say that it was safe and to pay attention to her own surroundings. He then muffled himself.
Authors note: I know it's a bit underwhelming, but I couldn't find a single way to add Brendan's starter battle in.
