In My Dream
This is my third Hoennshipping fanfiction, I am really growing to like this shipping more and more. Even better than I like Quest and Mangaquestshipping. This isn't a one-shot, nor a two shot, but a fanfiction that will have many chapters. Before I continue, I'll put up the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or any of these places. I do own the story, however.
Please don't flame me if you think this story sucks or whatnot. Constructive criticism is welcome, though; it'll help me improve my story. Enjoy!
May, the 13-year-old brunette daughter of the Petalburg City Gym Leader Norman, tossed and turned uncomfortably in her bed. Her eyes were closed in a painful way, and her mouth was slightly open as if she were hurt. Her fists were tightly clenched underneath her blanket, and her hair was slightly messy from all her movement. She silently gritted her teeth in reaction to something she was dreaming of, and her hands flew to her covers, pulling them up higher.
Minutes went by, and May stayed in the same position. But soon, her mouth suddenly closed, and her whole face relaxed. Her fists unclenched, and she smiled slightly, as if something wonderful had happened. Her eyes flew open, revealing beautiful sapphire blue irises. Her thoughts immediately went to the dream she just had, and the memory dashed through her mind as she curled up under her covers once more…
Dream Flashback
May sat contently under the sunshine-lit meadow, with bunches of beautiful flowers growing in patches here and there. The flowers sparkled with the summer sunshine, and their scent flowed through the meadow, as sweet as the essence of a Vileplume's petals or a dash of the Gym Leader Erika's perfume. There was a pond in front of the young brunette, with wild lotuses popping their petals up over the surface. The pond water glistened in the sunlight, and May watched as a Goldeen suddenly leapt out, performing a trick in midair.
Impressed by the stunt, she began clapping, encouraging the fish to do more. It continued to leap out, spinning and doing fancy acts to get more applause. May laughed and continued clapping, oblivious to the young boy who had come up to sit next to her and watch the Goldeen do tricks too.
The boy was about 14, with snow white hair that gleamed in the sunshine, and a red and black headband to keep his hair out of his eyes. His irises were a strange color of ruby red, and he had on a sweatshirt and sweatpants which also had the colors of Hoenn Pride, red and black, sometimes with yellow.
The boy opened his mouth to speak.
"That Goldeen sure loves to impress people, don't you think?" he asked May.
May turned her head, only to realize the boy that was sitting next to her was actually there. Her eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly replied back so she wouldn't be considered rude.
"Oh, um…yes!" she answered hastily. But this one is talented. Vain, too, I guess…"
The boy continued to stare at the flipping and flopping Goldeen, who was trying to regain May's attention. He then got up.
"Well, I have to get going now," he said, picking up his knapsack he had put on the ground. "It was nice talking to you."
He walked off, and May shrugged. She didn't care what this boy was up to, because she didn't even know who he was. She resumed watching the Goldeen, becoming quite amused at the Pokemon's talents.
May sat contently watching the fish Pokemon for what seemed hours on end, not even a little bit bored at the Pokemon's endless tricks and fancy acts. But soon, she knew it was time for her to head back home. She got up and turned around, only to see two men in red capes with hoods and a helicopter behind her.
May jumped back in surprise, and managed to sputter out a, "W-who are you?" She backed away in fear, wondering what these men wanted from her.
The two men smiled, and one stepped forward for a "friendly" introduction.
"My name is Hank, and this is Tabitha," the man explained, holding a hand out. "We're the Fire Heads Trio of Team Magma. Our goal is to awaken the legendary Pokemon Groudon to make earth completely land."
His partner, Tabitha, as he called him, nudged him impatiently. "We're supposed to get her, remember?" he asked.
Hank nodded, and approached May. She backed away. He flung a rope out at her, tying both of her hands together, and he pulled her along towards the helicopter.
May, more frightened than ever, screamed and kicked the dirt as Hank struggled to pull her. He motioned for Tabitha to come and help, and he reluctantly agreed, murmuring something under his breath.
Tears poured out of May's sapphire blue eyes, and she cried as she was dragged along. Hank and Tabitha merely ignored her, knowing that it was their duty and job to obey their boss' strict and clear orders. The brunette girl kept on flailing and kicking, but it was no use, as they continued to pull her along towards the helicopter.
Oh, I should've just stayed home with Mom and Dad, May thought sorrowfully. Instead of just going out and about so early in the morning…Then I wouldn't be in the situation I'm in right now!
As these thoughts came to her mind, May began crying even harder. She stopped kicking, and simply allowed herself to be dragged along, towards death or not, she didn't know.
"Sir, we're back with the girl you requested to be caught, May Maple!" Hank reported. He and Tabitha released their grips on May, and the girl collapsed onto the ground. Maxie, the Team Magma leader, raised an eyebrow at the sight of her tear-stained face.
"Are you sure this is the right one?" he asked suspiciously, getting up from his seat. He eyed Hank and Tabitha.
The two Fire Heads nodded nervously, exchanging glances. Tabitha glanced at May and gave her a small glare.
"Yes, sir, this is the one you were looking for," Hank replied calmly. May Maple from Petalburg City, daughter of the Petalburg Gym Leader Norman, precisely."
Maxie approached the trembling May, observing her to make sure his sub-coordinates weren't lying. After a few moments, he finally accepted the fact.
"Good job, boys…" he muttered. By the way, where did Courtney go? I thought I sent her to go along with you two."
"Oh, that…" Tabitha blushed. Well, um, she, kind of…"
"Kind of what?" Maxie demanded.
Hank nudged Tabitha nervously, but Tabitha just kept looking at him with an unsure look. Maxie put his hands on his hips.
"How many times to I have to tell you?" he sighed. No one slacks off on Team Magma. If I issue an order to specific team members, every one of those members must do their part of the job! That's why we're called, "Team" Magma! We work as a team! Our team will fall apart without teamwork! You know why Team Aqua is making so much progress? Because they work together and don't slack off! I want our team to be like that! You hear me? Go get Courtney and tell her to do her job!"
"Y-yes sir!" Hank and Tabitha said, relieved, in unison.
"But what about this girl here?" Tabitha asked, turning to leave.
"I'll take care of her," Maxie said firmly. You guys go get Courtney and get your work done."
"Yes sir!"
The two Fire Heads left the room, and Maxie glanced at May, who was still trembling in fear.
"What should I do with you…?" he grumbled. He turned to face the doorway.
"Selse! Rura! Come take this girl to the dungeons!" he called.
Two female Magma members came rushing into the room. They bowed their heads slightly as respect to Maxie, and then proceeded to take May.
"Just throw her in one of the free cells," Maxie growled. I'll deal with her later." He sat down to do some paperwork.
"Yes, sir!" the women answered, and grabbed May, one hand on each of her shoulders. May squealed at the sudden pressure that was put upon her shoulders, and the Magma women began to escort her towards the dungeons.
"Wait," Maxie said, standing up.
Selse, May, and Rura turned. "Yes, is there anything else, sir?" Selse asked.
"Don't hurt her," he added. He sat back down, and picked up his pen again. The sound of scribbling was heard for a few seconds, until Selse and Rura pushed May along towards the cells.
The two Magma women threw May into the first free cell they could find in the dungeon. Rura shut the door of the cell and Selse locked it. They walked off, leaving May alone until Maxie could personally deal with her.
She began to cry again, and the sound of weeping echoed in the large, empty rooms of the dungeon. She thought about what was going to happen to her, and if this was the last thing she'd see until she died.
A shadowy figure appeared in a dark corner of the cell. May jumped and backed away into her corner in fear. She expected it to be another Magma member or person who was trapped inside the cell too, but she was completely surprised when the figure turned out to be the boy she had seen earlier!
He took off his hood and Magma suit to reveal snow white hair and clothes of Hoenn pride. May gasped at the sight, wondering if she'd be safe with this boy.
"W-who are you?" she whispered, careful not to be heard by Magma members who could be eavesdropping.
"Brendan Birch," the boy explained. I'm here to help you escape."
May was struck dumb for a few moments.
"You're really Brendan Birch?" she asked softly. The son of Professor Birch of Littleroot Town? But…how did you know I was here? And how do you know me?"
Brendan smiled. He inched closer to her.
"Of course everyone knows May Maple, the daughter of the Petalburg City Gym Leader," he said, grinning. "But…how I knew you were here or how I got here isn't important now. What's important that we can escape."
"How?" came the reply from May.
Brendan pulled out a Poke Ball and released a Mudkip.
"You do have a Pokemon, don't you?" he asked, eyeing the balls clipped to her belt.
"Right, why didn't I think of that?" May exclaimed softly, letting out a Torchic.
The two Pokemon looked at their trainers, ready for commands.
"Torchic, Mudkip…"
End Dream Flashback
May smiled, and almost pitied herself for waking up in such an exciting dream. She wondered if this "Brendan Birch" boy really existed. Curling up back under her covers, she decided that she would investigate on the matter when light struck her windowsill…
