::sadly:: Hey... is my 'crush' one-shot that bad? 2 people flamed it and the 'Tristian' person, I TOLD YOU TO SAY THE REASON TO FLAME IT IF YOU FLAME IT SO SAY THE REASON! :::ahem:: anyways, was it 'plot-less' because it was too fast? (Ash had no reason to like May)

May: What do you mean Ash had no reason to like me? There is like 1000000000000000000000000 reasons to like me!

...sure...

May: and you did write that Ash liked my personality by saying that he like me because I was like Misty but the one he really likes is me!

...okay...

May: what? It's true!

Well, Vokteren (I'm updated!), I didn't hurt May in the 'Everything My Heart Desires' Shuu/Drew was the one hurt, not May! And I don't feel like adding Max in this one, I hope you'll understand after reading the later chapters.

LH- You're site is picture-less! And I think Shuu sounds better than Drew... but if people will know who Drew is, I guess I will use Drew...

May: wow, that was long and boring....

::Sigh:: I'm such a boring person with no life, updating 2 days in a row and then skip a day and now today, then 2 one-shot with the 2 updates too...

May: what did you expect? It's you after all!

T.T that's so mean! The whole world hates me!

May: ::sigh:: not again...

T.T Well, thanks for the reviews... and forget the html... it's too complicated to my naïve and simple mind...

They had finally reached Professor Birch's lab. When they went inside, they saw Mrs. Maple talking to Professor Birch.

"Hi Mrs. Maple, hi dad" Brendan greeted

"Hi Professor Birch, hi mom" May said.

"Oh, hi, May and Brendan!" They both returned

"I heard you tied Brendan on your first try. That's excellent! Brendan's been helping with my research for a long time. Brendan has an extensive history as a trainer already. Here, May, I ordered for my research, but I think you should have this pokedex." Professor Birch said as he handed May a pokedex.

"Thank you" May gratefully said.

"The pokedex is a high-tech tool that automatically makes a record of any pokemon you meet or catch. My kid, Brendan, goes everywhere with it. Whenever my kid catches a rare pokemon and records its data in the pokedex, why, Brendan looks for me while I'm out doing field, and shows me." Professor Birch explained.

"Huh... So you got a pokedex, too. Well then, here. I'll give you this." Brendan said as he handed her the pokeballs she wanted earlier.

"You know its more fun to have a whole bunch of pokemon. I'm going to explore all over the place to find different pokemon. If I find any cool pokemon, you bet I'll try to get them with poke balls." He boasted.

"Thanks..." May said.

"Brendan, remember I said that you can start your own journey to become the Pokemon Master soon?"

"Yes" Brendan said excitedly

"Oh yeah, mom, can I start my own journey tomorrow?"

"This is why I'm here, honey" Mrs. Maple smiled with mischief.

'A smile with mischief? Uh-oh.... This can't be good...' The two kids thought

"Well, we were thinking, you two should travel together!" The parents exclaimed together.

"WHAT1?!?!?!?!!?" They answered "with him/her!?!?!?!"

"Yup" wasn't that a great surprise?"

"No..." they both muttered

"Well since May was champion, I thought you can learn a few things from her," Professor Birch explained.

"Yes, and May, you never traveled alone so you would be better off with Brendan!" Mrs. Maple justified.

"..."

"See? I knew you two would be speechless after the surprise!" The parents high-fived.

'-.-;; Parents, can't live with them, can't live without them...' They sighed. 'This is gonna be the worst day of my life... no, the worst year, he/she is going to travel with me! UGH!' The poor kids thought

"And you two will be best friends!" Mrs. Birch squealed

"Hey, you want to have dinner with us tonight?" Professor Birch asked

"Sure, we'd love to" Mrs. Maple answered.

"Oh, joy"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

YAY! I FINALLY GOT TO THE 'TRAVELING' PART-ISH ,

May: ::unenthusiastically:: yay...

May: Rev- I mean, Icy-chan, say it!

May: The R word!

May: it starts with re-

May: -.-;; REV!

OH REVIEW! Well, review!

May: you're helpless...
