She walked north once more and battles some pokemon.

'I wish I had some pokeballs with me to catch some friends...'

She finally reached Oldale town and saw a lady who looked like she worked in the Pokemart.

"Excuse me, do you work for the Pokemart? " May asked.

"Yes, I do work at the Pokemart. Follow me, its here," She said as she lead May to the Pokemart.

"Um... thank you... do you have any pokeballs for sale?"

"I'm sorry, they were bought by a white haired boy a while ago."

"Oh..." May said quietly

"Here, you seem disappointed" she said as she gave her a potion.

"Thanks" May smiled as the storekeeper left.

'Well, Blaze is still okay so I don't need to go to the pokemon center so I should continue to rout 103... Stupid old man, bought all the pokeballs...'

May continued walking north until she meet the 'Old man'.

"Okay, so it's this one and that one that live on Route 103... Hey, it's May! ...Oh yeah, Dad gave you a pokemon." Brendan said

"Why, you jealous?" May sneered.

"No way! Hey... how come you came to find me if you hate me?" Brendan mocked.

"I was being polite to your dad after all, he gave me Blaze, and so I came!" May answered.

"Since we're here, how about little battle? I'll teach you what being a trainer's about!" Brendan said

"You wish, I'm the champion, remember?" May responded.

The battle started as Brendan sent out Muddy, his Mudkip and May got Blaze.

"Muddy, use tackle!" Brendan ordered.

"Blaze, counter it with scratch!" May commanded.

Blaze scratched Muddy as he slammed into her. They were both damaged.

"Muddy, use tackle again!"

"You too, Blaze, use scratch!"

The two pokemon wounded each other again, leaving them low health.

"Use all your strength to tackle Blaze to finish it off!"

"I know you don't have this attack but tackle it!"

The two pokemon bashed into each other, making each other fall. It was a tie.

"Huh, May, you're not too shabby." Brendan remarked.

"Well, I was the champion, but you did well too, drawing with me." May returned.

"Well, I think I get it. I think I know why my dad has his eye out for you now. Look, your pokemon already likes you even though you just got it. May, I get the feeling that you could befriend any pokemon with ease. We should head back to the lab." Brendan said trying not to get her temper up again. "I'm heading back to my dad's lab now. May, you should hustle back, too." He continued.

"Okay." May answered

"Hey, do you know the way? I can show you..." Brendan started

"Of course I know the way, I'm used to remembering roads so I don't get lost!" May interrupted.

"Well, if you even have any sense of anything, you should know I'm trying to be polite!"

"Ha, you, being polite?" May mocked as she pointed at Brendan

"What's so funny? Huh?"

"If you even have the word 'polite' in your dictionary, the world would end!"

"In the matter of fact, I do. I was being polite. But it seems someone else doesn't have it"

"Humph, you think I don't have it? I am polite unlike someone I know"

"Well, I'm just telling the truth. What's the matter? Can't accept it?"

"It's not that I can't accept it but someone isn't telling the truth."

"I am telling the truth!"

"No, you're not, liar"

"I was!"

"Was not!"

"I was!"

"Was not!"

"I was!"

"Was n-"

"Hey, will you two cut it out? Our town is trying to work and you guys are bothering us," Nurse Joy said.

"It was his/her fault!" They both shouted at the same time.

"Jinx!" they both said again

"So? Personal Jinx!" They said together.

"Will you two stop it?"

"Sorry... but it was his/her fault!" They started

"Was not"

"Was too"

"Don't you two have something better to do than just stand here and argue?"

"Oh, yeah, we have to go back to Dad's lab!"

"They why don't you two run along back to your father's lab?"

"Yes, ma'am" They answered quietly and started walking back while starting another 'was not' and 'was too' arguments.
