Chapter 2: Meeting May: The Beginning of a New Journey!
A young girl wearing a red and black shirt with what looked like a white shirt underneath, black cycling shorts, shoes and socks of similar colours and a red and white Poke' ball bandana began cycling down the dusty slope towards Prof. Birch's Poke'mon Lab.
"I can't believe it!" May thought smiling to herself "Today is the day, I finally get my first Poke'mon!"
May's bike slowly began to gain speed as it neared the bottom of the slope, and as May snapped out of her daydream about receiving her first Poke'mon and beginning her journey, she found that her bike was heading directly into a tree and tried to swerve but was too late and she crashed head on into the tree.
Sitting up, May rubbed her head forcefully. The pain caused by the impact of the tree, had been more than she'd expected. May glanced over at the brand new red bike that was lying discarded on the path. At least her bike wasn't ruined. she walked over to it, and picking the bike up, decided to push it along to Prof. Birch's Lab. Besides it wasn't far from where she was now and she didn't plan on crashing into anything else!
"Pika-chuuu!!" called the young voice of a boy with spiky black hair named Ash Ketchum, as he climbed a near-by tree in hope of any sign of Pikachu.
His best friend and his only travelling companion at the moment had fallen ill since arriving in Hoenn, due to the fault of Team Rocket. Ash and the Hoenn Region's Poke'mon Professor had attempted to try and cure Pikachu, but this had only aggravated the small yellow Poke'mon, causing Pikachu to escape from the Professor's Lab and run off. Ash and the Professor pursuing after him.
Stopping suddenly May blinked a little confused as she came face to face with Prof. Birch's assistant, whom was blocking the entrance into the Lab.
"W-where's Professor Birch!?" May asked somewhat puzzled
The assistant smiled a little.
"You must be May!" he said frowning a little, as May nodded "Oh, I knew this was bound to happen!"
"Huh? what was bound to happen?!" May continued getting slightly hysterical
"Something important came up and Prof. Birch felt he had to tend to it right away, and he's taken all the Starter Poke'mon with him, so I'm afraid you'll just have to wait.."
"Wait!" May cried, "I don't have time for all this! I'm going to go look for him!"
"May, no!" The assistant called after her as May bolted into the grassy area beyond the Lab "It's far too dangerous without a Poke'mon!!"
Nothing was going to ruin her day, May knew that for sure. Today had to be perfect. After all it would be her first day as a Poke'mon Trainer, and that was something she'd been looking forward to for a while now.
"Heh.Heh, nice Poochyena'.I'm sorry for waking you up like that, I-it was an accident, p-please j-just leave me alone!"
Prof. Birch got up slowly, carefully eyeing the three dog-like Poke'mon growling angrily in front of him. He really didn't want to be here, if only he'd watched where he was going and not tripped and fell off that stupid cliff, causing the Poochyena' to awake. Casting a quick glance to his left Prof. Birch noticed a low hanging tree, if he risked it he could probably climb the tree, putting him on safer ground away from the growling Poochyena'. Not waiting another second, he ran for his life, the Poochyena' in hot pursuit, grabbing the tree and swinging himself onto it's trunk where he made his way higher up towards the tree top.
May walked brusquely along the small path leading towards the cliff edge. She stopped, bending down when she came to the small leather satchel lying upon the ground. It was open and contained some sort of important looking notes and three Poke' ball's which were in danger of falling out of the bag.
"Hello! you down there, a little help please!"
May looked up in the direction she'd thought she heard the voice come from and saw none other than Prof. Birch at the top of a near by tree.
"Professor!" May asked confused as to way he was positioned in the tree like that.
"Yes, that's me! Listen I want you to help me." He smiled kindly "See those Poke' ball's just, there?" Prof. Birch gestured to the bag "Just choose any one of them!"
May looked more puzzled than ever, but took the first Poke' ball that came to her hand and threw it into the air. A small blue poke'mon with fins appeared in front of her.
"Mudkip!" it squeaked happily
"Uhh." May stood there glancing at the Poke'mon, remaining confused at what Professor Birch actually wanted her to do.
"Tell it to use its Water Gun attack, May!"
May's puzzled expression turned into a grin, she was finally getting to battle with a Poke'mon, just like a Poke'mon Trainer!
"Ok, Mudkip use your Water Gu-"
May was cut short as Mudkip leapt forward and aimed its attack straight in her face.
"Grrr.Not me!" she told the small Poke'mon sternly, as the water from her, what was once neat and tidy, brown hair and clothes began to drip onto the grass below her.
"Aahh!"
Startled May turned around as the loud snapping of a tree branch filled the air and Prof. Birch landed on the harsh ground below the cliff back to were the angry Poochyena' still prowled.
May bit her lip and ran towards the cliff edge, followed by Mudkip. Watching as the Professor backed against the rocky wall. Not taking a moment to hesitate, May knew she had to try again.
"Mudkip!" she turned to the small blue Poke'mon "Aim your Water Gun down there!" she pointed to the three Poochyena
Surprisingly Mudkip aimed its attack straight at the three Poke'mon just as May had ordered.
May grinned as Professor Birch made his way back up the cliff.
"Thanks May!" he smiled, as he returned Mudkip to it's Poke'ball and went to collect his bag.
"Um.what were you doing out here, Professor?" she asked, smiling sweetly
"Oh." he started, looking at May "I, uh..I.uh." the Professor clasped a hand over his mouth "I was supposed to be helping that young boy, Ash look for his Pikachu!!"
The Professor broke into a run, May grabbing her bike and following close behind.
"No, Pikachu!" Ash yelled as he watched his small yellow friend leap over the edge of a high cliff.
Ash bolting after the Poke'mon, leapt off the cliff's edge also without thinking, his mind concentrated on saving his best friend. Tumbling down Ash quickly caught hold of a weak looking branch sticking out of the cliff and swiftly caught Pikachu, whom had came down only seconds after him. Pikachu sank his sharp teeth into Ash's hand
"Oww! Pikachu!" Ash winced in pain as Pikachu let off small sparks, threatening to shock his trainer.
"Ash, are you all right?!"
Ash looked up to see the friendly face of Prof. Birch
"I think so-oww!" Ash winced as Pikachu bit him forcefully
"Here." said Prof. Birch, throwing Ash a rope, as Ash caught it and made his way up the steep cliff, pulled by the Professor and May, whom had discarded her bike a few feet away from where she was now.
Ash stopped at the cliff top pausing for breath and Pikachu gave him a friendly lick on the cheek.
"Pikachu!" Ash smiled, hugging the small yellow Poke'mon "I guess you're feeling better."
"Chu."
The happy mood was broken as an evil laugh sounded from behind them, followed by loud thundering footsteps.
The three turned around.
"To protect the World from Devastation!"
"Team Rocket!!" Ash called annoyed at their appearance
"That's right, and we're here to steal Pikachu!" Meowth piped up
Ash took a step back and nearly tripped over May who was directly behind him.
"You'll never take Pikachu!" Ash continued sternly, unaware of May's frowning from behind him
"Just shut up Twerp and let us continue our motto!" Jessie said, anger rising in her voice "We're not that well known in the Hoenn Region yet!, we have to achieve our fame someway."
Ash however completely ignored this and ordered Pikachu to use it's Thunderbolt attack on Team Rocket, but was caught in the Robot's grasp, in which Team Rocket were operating, as it leapt forward. Jessie laughed as Pikachu tried to shock the machine.
"Your attacks won't work, Pikachu" Meowth grinned, "This robot was designed to absorb electrical attacks!" Jessie fiddled with the controls, so that Pikachu's electricity would be absorbed, but failed, pressing all the wrong buttons and healing Pikachu instead.
"Pika!..." the small yellow Poke'mon cried out in joy at having it's health replenished, as it emitted several large sparks in every direction, frying May's bike in the process.
"Jessie!" James cried "The machine's battery seems to be..um..Overheating."
Before Jessie could reply the whole Robot exploded sending Team Rocket flying and the faint voices of: "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" were heard.
"My..my..BIKE!!" came May's wailing as she turned slowly to Ash and Prof. Birch "it-it's completely ruined!!"
Ash sweat dropped, as did the Professor Birch.
"Oh, forget it!," May said slightly annoyed "we all should be heading back to the Lab now anyway, I still have to get my starter Poke'mon, remember?" her emotions changing quickly as she smiled sweetly at Prof. Birch, desperate for a new Poke'mon
"I guess your right May," the Professor said agreeing, as he looked up at the darkening sky "Besides it's getting late, you won't mind waiting until tomorrow to get your Poke'mon, will you May?" May shook her head "good, and your welcome to stay at the Lab tonight by the way.."
Ash and May both nodded at this and then the three set off toward the Poke'mon Lab.
"Thanks, for helping me and Pikachu get back up that cliff safely, um."
May smiled at Ash, forgetting for the moment about her broken bike.
"It's May, and you're welcome!"
"Oh," Ash extended his hand "I'm Ash"
"Well, it's nice to meet you Ash!" May shook his hand
Finally arriving at the Lab, Prof. Birch showed Ash and May where they'd be sleeping. The two thanked the Professor and went to their rooms. Once in her room, May took off her beige waist bag and lay it on the bed, she then decided to go and check on Ash, she wasn't sure why but she just put it down to her boredom. Reaching Ash's door, she hesitated before opening it as quietly as possible and found Ash, with his cap off, sleeping, and Pikachu beside him, also asleep. Standing there watching the two for a while.
"Good Luck, on your Poke'mon Journey..Ash." she whispered, smiling, before slowly closing the door behind her, and heading back to her own room to get some rest.
After being treated to a nice Breakfast, Ash and May were led to Prof Birch's Lab room, were he kept his starter Poke'mon. The Professor took out three Poke' ball's each containing the three starter Poke'mon. Releasing each Poke'mon for May to choose, he calmly waited for her decision.
"Wow, look at that cool Poke'mon!" Ash said a little over excited, pointing at the green gecko-like Poke'mon
The Professor gave a small laugh.
"That's Treeko, Ash, it's a Grass Type"
May didn't much like the look of that Poke'mon, it looked a little scary to her. Next up was Mudkip, "No, way!" May thought taking a small step backwards and remembering that this Poke'mon had trouble listening to her before. May looked down as a small orange chick-like Poke'mon pecked her leg in a friendly way.
"Aww! It's so cute!" May said grinning, as she picked the tiny Poke'mon up and Ash smiled.
"This is definitely the Poke'mon, I want!" May smiled, hugging the small Poke'mon gently.
"Great!" the Professor replied, "So you've chosen Torchic!"
May nodded happily, as she was handed six Poke' ball's and a Poke'dex.
Later that day Ash and May we're ready to leave and go their separate ways.
"Um.Good Luck becoming a Poke'mon Trainer! May" Ash smiled
"Oh, my intentions aren't really on becoming a Poke'mon Trainer," she gave a small smile "but thanks, anyway"
May looked around her and gave a small sigh.
"It'll be ever so lonely, travelling all alone." she said, her back turned to Ash "It might've not been so bad if I had my bike..but your Pikachu destroyed it."
Ash sweat dropped and gave a nervous laugh from behind May.
"Anyway," May continued ignoring Ash's laugh "what do you plan to do when you leave here?"
"Uh.well, I.uh, I guess I'll collect Gym Badges and enter the Hoenn League!"
"I know!" May smiled as she turned around and laid her hands upon Ash's shoulders "You, can travel with me on my Poke'mon Journey!!" she said ecstatically, her brown hair still swinging madly from when she'd turned to face Ash so suddenly, as her blue eyes seemed to sparkle.
"Um.ok...." Ash gave her a small smile, a little surprised by her actions
"Yes!" May grinned as she punched the air happily
Ash's puzzled look was back in place, but faded quickly as the time to leave came. The two waved goodbye to the Professor and his assistant and set off to explore the land of Hoenn as the sun shone brightly above them.
The Red-headed Gym Leader laughed "Do you like that, Horsea!"
The small sea-horse, Poke'mon uttered it's name happily as it swam to the surface in hope of more food.
Misty sprinkled some more Poke'mon food into the Aquatic Poke'mon Tank. She was lucky that she even had this Gym; it had nearly been closed down by the Poke'mon Authorities because of its lack of anyone being there to run it. Misty blamed that on her sisters, if they hadn't left the Gym so soon. She sighed and wished her sisters had realized how much hurt they'd caused by forcing her to part ways with her best friends' like that, it was just so unfair!
Misty suddenly looked up, from her flood of thoughts.
Someone was repeatedly thumping on the Gym doors or that's what it sounded like to her.
"Ok, ok.I'm coming!" she called out hoping that it wasn't another challenger
Walking slowly towards the doors, she stopped and took a deep breath, hesitating slightly before opening them. Another thump hit the door and Misty jumped back in shock, but her shock soon turned to anger at this person's rudeness, surely all that banging wasn't needed. Pulling the doors open and ready to have a real go at who ever was behind the doors, Misty stopped all of a sudden.
"Tracey!?.. Wh-what are you doing here?!"
