It was three days before the trip to Goldenrod. Mrs. Oak was packing and cleaning the house. Mr. Oak was double-checking their tickets. Gary was getting the stuff he was taking together. May, on the other hand, had gotten ready early.
She was lying on her bed thinking. Penny was watching her owner.
"I want Ash to come." May whinnied, "We're going to be gone for two weeks!"
"Pika Pik. \Call him." Penny said. May looked at her.
"O.k." She rushed down stairs to the phone. She pushed in Ash's number. Mrs. Ketchum answered.
"Hello, May." she said brightly.
"Hi, Mrs. Ketchum. Is Ash there?" May asked.
"Yes, I'll get him..." she left.
"Hi, May." Ash was there.
"Hi, Ash. I got to ask you something."
"Shoot."
"You want to come to Goldenrod with us?"
"Sure, I guess." he shrugged.
"Ask your father!" Mrs. Oak yelled over to May.
"Alright Mom! DAD!" she yelled.
"WHAT?!" he yelled in reply.
"Can you please come over here? I'll yell my self hoarse if this keeps up!" Mr. Oak walked over.
"What is it?" he asked. She said something to him.
"WHAT?! WHY'D YOU ASK ME NOW?!" he yelled. He looked ready to faint.
"I just thought of it a few minutes ago," she said.
"Well, I guess...ask his mother...if she says yes, I'll try to get another ticket to Goldenrod." he sighed. He looked at the screen of the phone (videophone). "What I don't do for you two."
Ash smiled. "Not my idea, sir."
Mr. Oak smiled. "Well, at least when she got herself a boyfriend, he's polite to people...so I don't really mind...much"
"Ash, you should go ask your mom if you can come." May said.
"No need, she's right here."
"He can go if he wants." Mrs. Ketchum said.
"I want to go!" Ash said quickly.
"Better go see about that ticket then!" Mr. Oak said. He walked off.
"Two weeks in Goldenrod!" May said cheerfully.
"How many tickets are there now?" Ash asked.
"Five," May said.
"What happened to Anne?" Ash asked.
"She lives in Saffron. She left yesterday." May replied.
"UNBELIEVABLE!" Mr. Oak yelled.
"What's the matter, Dad?" Gary asked coming into the room.
"We were the last people to buy tickets for the plane...and there is still ten seats left on the plane!" May was shocked by that announcement.
"Yes...Yes...Yes! Just make sure to get his as close to ours as possible? Oh! WHAT!? Where?" Mr. Oak looked surprised.
"THANK YOU!" Mr. Oak said, he hung up, "DONE! Got his ticket ready."
"You better start getting ready..."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye,"
Three Days Later
"Every one here? Ash? May? Gary?"
"Yes," the three said.
"Wonderful. Everyone ready? Got you stuff?"
"Yes," they said again.
"Great! Here's your plane tickets..." He handed them each one of the tickets. Ash looked at his.
"Follow me!" Mr. Oak yelled. They walked to the plane gate together. The lady beside the doorway talked to Mr. Oak and he nodded.
"You have to show this nice lady your tickets," he said. Him and Mrs. Oak showed theirs and walked to the side. May, Ash, and Gary showed her theirs. She nodded. They walked through the doorway to the plane.
When they were on the plane Mr. Oak walked them half the way down the plane, then turned to them. He looked at Ash and whispered to him, "I made sure to get you next to May." Then in a louder voice so all of them could hear, "O.K! Let's get you lot in your seats!" He got May and Ash in their seats, then Gary. After he and Mrs. Oak had sat down, from a speaker someone said, "Ooookey! It's time to fly! Please sit down as we are about to leave the termanal!"
They felt a jerk forward, which meant the plane was moving. May looked out the window. "We're on the run-way," she said. Ash nodded.
The plane lifted up off the ground. "Okay! We'll be in Goldenrod City in two hours! Right now it is 11:30 a.m.!" rang the speaker.
May unzipped her bag and brought out a laptop. She turned it on. Ash leaned over to see the screen, his eyes wide with curiosity and interest. On the screen were about a million icons. "This is the desktop," May said. She clicked on an icon that looked like a poke' dex with the mouse. It was labeled 'Pokemon Dictionary.'
A new screen appeared. There was a giant poke ball with little ones around it. One was labeled 'Look up PKMN', another 'Add PKMN', another 'Delete PKMN', and the last 'Update PKMN.' May clicked on 'Add PKMN.' The screen changed to what looked like a form.
"Let's see...Pokemon name, Electrode...type, Electric...information..." she said aloud as she typed. Ash helped her when she needed it...if he could. They did that half way through the plane trip.
She saved and put the laptop away. They talked the rest of the way. "What do you want to do when we get to Goldenrod?" May asked.
"Um, we could go get lunch then after that go try and get you that Pichu?" Ash asked. May shrugged.
"Sounds good to me," she said. Soon they arrived in Goldenrod.
