This chapter's set later on. I don't own Brendan, May, Ash, Sakura, or
Pikachu. I own nothing from Pokemon. I do have Ruby, Sapphire, Crystal,
Silver, Gold, Yellow, and Blue though.
Three Months Later.
"Misty, I'm telling you, you should at least think about going back to Trovita! Didn't Rudy tell you that you could stay there whenever you wanted?" Sakura yelled.
Misty crossed her arms over her chest.
"NO!" Misty screamed.
Sakura stepped away from the volatile Misty.
"Well, then, you could always go back with As-" Sakura began.
Misty turned and interrupted. Her face was eleven shades of red and her eyes were narrow slits. Sakura felt very small and very scared.
"DON'T MENTION THAT NAME! And, by the way, NO!" Misty shrieked.
Misty stormed off. Sakura followed patiently.
"Well, you could go to your sisters," Sakura suggested.
Misty shot her a dark glare and kept walking.
"I don't need them! I can do this on my own!" Misty screeched.
Sakura stopped walking.
"Misty! You're only thirteen!" Sakura reminded.
Brendan appeared before them.
"You know, Goldenrod's ahead. Its a big city. You could easily get lost in it," Brendan suggested.
Misty turned and smiled at him.
"Thanks! That's a great idea! You are the best person ever! Hey, do you have any food on you? I'm starved!" Misty said happily.
Brendan gave Sakura a perplexed look. She mouthed that'd she'd explain later and Brendan nodded confusedly. He reached in his pocket and handed Misty a candy bar, which she devoured in all of two seconds. Sakura leaned over and whispered something in Brendan's ear.
Brendan fell over in shock. Misty, however, was throwing up on the roadside, so she didn't notice. Sakura ran over to tend to Misty, who had moved down to a stream hidden by the trees. Brendan got up and saw a familiar figure before him.
"May?"
May smiled, kissed him on both cheeks, and hugged him very tightly.
"Hey, Brendan. Haven't seen you much lately," May responded, stepping back from the hug.
Brendan smiled.
"Yeah. I've been traveling with two girls lately. You?" Brendan replied.
May smirked.
"Two guys. So.Uh, you dating one of them?" May replied nervously.
Brendan shook his head and Ash came running down the trail, out of breath.
"May? You here? MAY! Look, I'm sorry for being such a-Hi, I'm Ash, who are you?" Ash hollered, not noticing Brendan and May for a while.
Brendan looked at Ash. He had seen him in one of Misty's pictures and was about to pounce on him when Sakura appeared.
"Hey, Brendan, do you have any food? She's hungry now," Sakura said, not noticing Ash or May.
"Sakura?" Ash said confusedly.
Sakura swallowed.
"Oh, hi Ash. So, Brendan, you have anything?" Sakura said nervously.
Brendan shook his head.
"Sakura, what's the use? She'll just throw it up again," Brendan said cynically.
Ash and May were both perplexed and Sakura glared at Brendan.
"So, uh, Sakura, you talked to Misty lately?" Ash asked curiously.
May rolled her eyes, which Ash failed to notice.
"Um, yeah," Sakura said quietly.
Ash's eyes lit up and May pouted.
"Really? Did she mention where she went?" Ash asked desperately.
Sakura shook her head no furiously. Brendan communicated with his eyes to her. Sakura gave him a look.
"Uh, I've got to be going, my friend's not exactly feeling well right now," Sakura said, before quickly jetting off.
Ash looked perplexedly at May. Brendan smirked.
"Hey, May, want to battle me?" Brendan asked.
May's eyes lit up.
"You bet!" May grinned.
Brendan pulled out a pokéball, as did May.
"Go Marshtomp/Combusken!" The trainers said at the same time.
"Combusken, use Flamethrower!" May yelled.
Brendan smirked.
"Marshtomp, use Hydro Pump!" Brendan yelled back.
Combusken's Flamethrower hit Marshtomp's Hydro Pump and a steamy mist covered the trail. Brendan and May waited for the mist to clear. Ash watched interestedly and Pikachu bounded down the trail. Pikachu sniffed the air and the fog cleared.
"Pikachupi?! Pikapi, pi pi ka chu Pikachupi! Pikaka Pikachupi!" Pikachu chattered restlessly.
Ash obviously understood, which confused Brendan and May.
"What's Pikachu saying, Ash?" May piped up.
Ash smiled a strained smile and patted Pikachu's head.
"Pikachu apparently smells an old friend of mine. But that's impossible," Ash said sadly.
Pikachu glared at Ash.
"Pipi kachu pi ka chuchu Pikachupi! Pikachupi chu pi kakaka chu. Pikapi chu kachupi pi pi ka chu chu CHU!" Pikachu yelled, cheeks sparking.
This time Brendan asked.
"What did Pikachu say?" Brendan asked curiously.
Ash frowned.
"Pikachu said that it smells like Misty. Pikachu said that she smelled different, but it was still her. And finally, Pikachu said that if I wasn't so busy being so obliviously dense that I would be standing in front of her right now," Ash translated.
Brendan and May's eyes widened and they looked at each other. Pikachu raced into the bushes and Ash followed it. Sakura, however, saw him coming and frantically warned Misty to run. Brendan looked to May pleading.
"Do something," Brendan whispered.
May looked at him quizzically.
"You so owe me for this!" May hissed.
May swallowed.
"ASH!" May screamed.
Ash stopped running and turned around. He looked at her confusedly and Brendan rubbed her shoulder reassuringly. Ash turned to leave.
"I LOVE YOU!" May shrieked.
Ash blanched and Brandon motioned for Sakura and Misty to run to Ecruteak. Wordlessly they complied. Brendan bit his lip and looked nervously at a highly worried May. Ash turned around.
"WHAT?" Ash squealed.
Brendan turned to May, thinking quickly.
"Oh! I love you too, May!" Brendan said cheerfully.
May gaped at him, but complied and hugged him.
"Nice save," May whispered.
"Don't I know it!" Brendan mumbled.
Ash sighed and went back in the forest. Brendan looked at May.
"You could come with us, you know. I'm sure that Misty and Sakura wouldn't mind," Brendan mumbled.
May smiled and shook her head.
"Really, Brendan, I'd love to be with other girls and my best friend. But, you know, Ash needs a level-headed female in his life much more than you do. Besides, if this gig falls through, there's always Wally," May teased.
Brendan scowled and ran to Ecruteak.
"You've always got me, April. Anyways, I've got to run. It's a long journey to Goldenrod. Bye!" Brendan said, barely loud enough for May to hear.
Brendan left and May shook her head, waiting patiently for Ash's return.
