"I've got to get going, too. I just remembered...there's something I want to do..."May said. They stood up.
"O.k. Guess I see you some other time," Ash said.
"Yep...like tomorrow," she said.
"'Bye," Ash said, "I...I love you, May."
"'Bye, and."May said, hugging him, then saying right into his ear, "I love you, too." She gave him a quick kiss and another hug before she left. After she had gone, he called to his mom that he was going to his room then rushed up.
Ash awoke at 6:30 a.m. (to his great disapproval), so he got dressed and was down stairs, ready to go for a walk. Before he touched the doorknob, the phone rang. He walked over and answered it.
'Now who in the world would call at this time in the morning?' "Hello?" he said.
"Hi, it's May!" she answered.
"May I ask why you called at 6:30 in the morning?" he asked.
"No. Meet me at the pokemon center at 7:00, ok?" she asked.
"Sure,"
"See ya in'a bit then."
"'Bye."
"'Bye" After she hung up, he left for his walk.
When he got to the center at 7:00, May was nowhere to be seen. This was odd because she was never late for anything. Ash looked around a bit. She was nowhere.
May walked in the door and snuck up behind him. She hugged him.
"Hi, May," he said.
"Hi." she said, "Come over here." He grabbed hold of her hand before she started running over to one of the tables. Gary and a man Ash had never seen in his life were sitting on one side of the table.
"That's Dad," she said, seeing that Ash had no clue to who he was. They sat down on the side across from Gary and Mr. Oak. Mr. Oak looked a lot like Gary, Ash noticed. Gary was the first to start talking.
"I told Dad about Mom, and he thinks he has a idea."
"What's the idea, Mr. Oak?" Ash asked.
"I have a friend that can do, er, charms that can get rid of or heal any problem or sickness and then some." Mr. Oak replied.
"Where's he live, Dad?" May asked. She put her head on Ash's shoulder, and he put his arms around her. Mr. Oak sighed deeply.
"Goldenrod City," he said.
"What?!" all three teenagers yelled.
"You won't see him until your trip...in how many weeks?" Ash said softly.
"Two," May answered.
"I know," Mr. Oak replied, "but we can use these two weeks to convince her to go to him."
"That'll be hard. She can be pretty stubborn about things." May said sadly.
"I'm sure I can," Mr. Oak said smugly.
"Yeah, sure Dad," May and Gary said together.
"How you getting there? To Goldenrod?" Ash asked.
"Air plane," Gary answered.
"Dad suggested we take an air plane to Saffron, then take the Magnet Train to Goldenrod...but Mom stamped that out. She said its faster to just take a plane to Goldenrod." May said.
"It'd be nice to see Goldenrod again..." Ash said.
"You've been to Goldenrod before?" Mr. Oak asked.
"Yeah. On my pokemon training journey." he stated. Mr. Oak looked at his wristwatch and almost died.
"I'm late for work!" Mr. Oak yelled. He stood up and ran out the door. May picked her head up and frowned.
"He's always late for work these days..." May said. Gary stood up.
"I'm going to head to gramp's lab and get some different pokemon out."
"O.k." they said. Gary left.
"Have you noticed when one person leaves, someone else leaves a moment later?" May asked.
"No, I haven't," Ash said.
"Let's go."
"O.k."
"I've got to get going, too. I just remembered...there's something I want to do..."May said. They stood up.
