A man stood in front of the Black Dragon. He looked up at the dragon. "You have passed my trial, thus, you get the Black Dragon Armor," the dragon said.
"But, what was the trial?" he asked.
"When you answered my question, you passed," it replied.
"What do you mean?" he asked, "I don't understand."
"You'll understand soon enough," the dragon said, as everything went black. A few seconds later, everything reappeared, except now he was in front of the White Dragon.
"You have finally got the shield, helmet, and armor? It is time you became the Dragonmaster." the dragon gave him Althena's Sword.
The Dragon Armor suddenly appeared on him. The helmet formed on his head and the shield materialized in front of him. He took hold of the shield in one hand, and the sword in the other.
"You are now the Dragonmaster of the Goddess Althena," the dragon roared.
"Now, it is time that I." he started.
Everything faded into blackness.

May turned over, and opened her eyes. She looked at the sword that was leaning against the wall, the dim light glinting off the blade. 'What...' she thought, 'Oh!'
She rolled over, and looked at the young man sleeping soundly next to her. Sighing, she looked at the ceiling. 'Ash isn't bothered, month after month, with something that means nothing.'
After spending several minutes looking at the shadows on the ceiling and walls, May went back to sleep.
"Good morning!" Nimbus said, when Cirrus and Heather walked in.
"Is May up yet?" Cirrus asked. Nimbus shook her head.
"No, not yet," she replied. Sitting down, Heather shook her head slowly, putting her cup on the table.
"What's that sound?" Heather inquired.
"What sound?" Nimbus asked.
"Like water is on," Heather said. They all listened for a few seconds.
"Either, someone is in the bathroom, or this house is haunted," Nimbus laughed.
"It's off now," Cirrus said.
"Wake up! It's 9 already!" Ash opened the bedroom door, and walked in. He walked over to the bed
"So what.?" May turned over, her head pushing into the pillow. "Leave me alone!"
"No! Get up, before I make you get up, ya kitten!"
"Kitten? How do you think of these things?" May turned back over, and looked at Ash. "First dolphin, then kitten.what's next?"
"You're reminding me of a kitten-not wanting to get up when it is sleeping," Ash said.
"I have a feeling that there's more to it then that?" May asked.
"Yeah.no matter what kittens do, they always look cute somehow." He ran a hand through her hair. "I don't know why, but I slept better last night, then any other night within the last few months."
"Ash, is something wrong?" she asked.
"No, of course not! Why would there be?" he asked, sitting up sharply.
"Well, it's the way you said that." May looked at him.
"Um," Ash shook his head, "You would think I'm insane if I told you."
"Nah, come on!" May said.
"Alright! I want to try to become the Protector of the Goddess Althena."
"In other words, the Dragonmaster?"
"Yeah."
"Ash, do you know how dangerous that is?" May asked. Ash nodded.
"But I really want to do it. I thought being in the Pokemon League in Kanto, and becoming Pokemon Master would be exciting, but compared to that, it's just like any other job-BORING!" Ash whined.
"Um, that would mean going to Burg, because the White Dragon Cave is there too," May mused, "are you sure?"
"Positive!" Ash said, nodding. May sat up next to him.
"But being in the...league...is a whole lot different from this!" she said.
"How so?"
"Ash, you could be killed! This isn't where you can try 20 times if you don't succeed.you only get one chance at it!" she told him.
"So? It'll be hard, of course, but it's something that I want to do, and I know I can do it!" he said. May shook her head, and smiled.
"Way too much confidence!" she laughed. Ash stood up, and looked at her.
"Is that a compliment, or an insult?" Ash questioned.
"Your choice!" May said. He laughed. She stood up next to him, and kissed him. When she had changed, they went downstairs.
