"Use fire spin!" May ordered. It used it. The Articuno wavered left and right, ready to fall.
"Go Penny!" After Penny came out she used thunder automatically. The Articuno had took enough, it fainted.
"Good job of that Articuno. You gonna catch it?" a boy asked. He walked up and looked at it.
"No. I don't want it," she said.
"I'll catch it then," he said.
"No way!" May yelled. He looked up.
"Who made you queen of the world?" he asked sarcastically.
"No one. I'm not letting anyone catch it!" she said sternly.
"You are such a idiot, did you know that? If you weren't such a pathetic excuse for a human I'd be insulted. Here's a tip for ya: You catch pokemon! Got that?" Ash balled up his fist in fury.
"Sure, whatever. This is one time that isn't happening, though." May said hotly.
"Shut up, you...you...you idiot! You are just a stupid. Little. Girl!" he yelled. Ash snapped. He walked up to the boy and punched him. He stumbled back, surprised by Ash's action. When he recovered he walked up to Ash and glared at him.
"What was that for, kid?" he asked.
"Would you shut up and leave her alone?!" Ash yelled.
"No, and you know what kid? You just made the biggest mistake of your small life!" he yelled. He punched Ash back. He fell to the ground, but got right back up. He punched the boy in the jaw, again. May stood, watching the two of them, paralyzed in fear.
That strange boy looked at Ash, not knowing what to do. Ash kept his eyes on him, making sure to be ready for whatever would happen. Both of them looked at each other for a few seconds before any one did any thing else.
Ash got a hard blow in the stomach. He doubled over, groaning in pain. May stifled a small cry. It went on somewhat like that until...
"What is going on here?!" Mrs. Ketchum had returned. The boy said, "This kid started it, and that's the truth!"
"No. I. Didn't." Ash said, "That's. A. Lie!"
He tried to stand up straight, but didn't get too far in succeeding. May ran over and helped him to get straight in standing, him still in pain from the hit.
"I don't want to know who started it. I want to know why it was started," she said. The boy looked at Ash.
"Seeya, kid! You tell her! You started it!" the boy bolted. Mrs. Ketchum was frowning slightly. "Come on, let's get you in the house..." She shepherded May and Ash into the house. Right when they were in the house and the door was shut, May started telling Mrs. Ketchum what had happened. Mrs. Ketchum smiled.
"Well! It looks like Ash here finally stood up for someone. in particular" Ash looked at her.
"MOM!" he yelled.
"Didn't say anything!" she said walking into the kitchen. They looked at each other.
"HI!" someone yelled. They looked to their left. A girl of the age of 13 with black hair was standing there.
"Hi, Anne," mumbled May. Ash looked at May, then Anne.
"Who is she?" Ash asked. He still looked like he was in pain, but not as much.
"Her cousin," the girl answered. May went and sat down on the couch
"What do you want, Anne?" May asked. Ash went and sat down next to
May, but still looking at Anne.
"Nothing!" she yelled. Then she, for some reason that no one will ever know, blurted out, "Do you like each other?" They stared at her.
"Now why would you ask that?" May asked. Anne shrugged.
"Dunno, just did. Because it looks like you do..." she said. Ash shifted uncomfortably. He didn't want to answer that. May said something, but not too clearly. They looked at her confused.
"I said that...that...I..." She looked clearly as uncomfortable with this question as Ash felt. May screwed up all of her courage and said loudly, "I LIKE HIM!" Anne went wide-eyed.
"Ooookeeeey...what's your name?" Anne turned to Ash.
"My name is Ashton Satoshi Ketchum." he responded, "Every one calls me 'Ash,' though."
"Okay, Ash, what's your answer to my first question?" she asked. He knew that was coming.
"Well, I...um..."He couldn't answer.
"Well?" Anne demanded.
"Is this important to you?!" Ash asked roughly. Anne nodded. He sighed deeply. "Fine! I'll tell you..." he said, "...I like her..." Anne smirked.
"Now how rare is this, eh? Two people who like each other and they didn't even know it!" Anne yelled. May frowned slightly.
"What's this to you?" she asked.
"Dunno, just wanted to know..." Anne shrugged. May looked ready to kill her. Anne snapped her fingers.
"I know! Why don't you two just kiss or something?" Anne suggested.
"What?" they yelled.
"Huh? What? You don't know what kissing is?" Anne asked.
"We know what it is!"
"So? What's the problem? Anne asked.
"We. Are. Thirteen, Anne!" May yelled.
"So? Why do you care if you're thirteen or twenty-five? I'll bet a Pikachu that you want to!"
"Will you please shut up?" Ash groaned.
"No, not unless you kiss her!" Anne yelled. Ash sighed. He then, to his surprise, kissed May. Anne and May were both shocked.
After the shock wore off (10 seconds), May didn't seem to mind. Anne smirked at Pikachu, who was sitting at her feet. "It worked..." she whispered.
"What worked?" Anne pointed to the two of them. Pikachu pulled a face in disgust. "Yuck! Mushy stuff!"
Anne was getting annoyed. It been five minutes and the two still hadn't broken apart yet. "Pikachu? Can you do me a favor?" Anne whispered.
"Maybe."
"Thunder shock them, okay? I'm thinking they're holding this long to annoy me..."
"Right. I want it to stop!" It started to get ready to use thunder shock. Finally, the two of them broke apart. Ash looked at Pikachu.
"Don't you dare thunder shock us!" he yelled. Pikachu stopped.
"She asked me to do it!" Ash looked at Anne.
"You asked Pikachu to thunder shock us?" Ash asked. Anne nodded.
"I...er...better get going!" Anne yelled, "Bye!" She left quickly.
May shook her head. "Weird." she muttered. Ash looked at her.
"What's weird?"
"What Anne just did.and what YOU just did."
"Oh," Ash said, going bright red.
"Use fire spin!" May ordered. It used it. The Articuno wavered left and right, ready to fall.
"Go Penny!" After Penny came out she used thunder automatically. The Articuno had took enough, it fainted.
"Good job of that Articuno. You gonna catch it?" a boy asked. He walked up and looked at it.
