I just got some of my first reviews! I love them, so make more! I know I sound ridiculous…but oh well! Anyways, here is the long waited chapter 4!
Not having a Pokemon belt, May carried the pokeball containing her new Torchic in her hands. Not that she had any objection, as May was so pleased at herself she just couldn't help looking at it from time to time. "Shoot. I got to get home, or mom will start worrying." She said, suddenly realizing how long she was gone. She ran with all her speed to Littleroot, and arrived to see that all the lights were out, and that the sky was dark. "Shoot! I'm so busted!" but as she ran to her house, she bumped full on onto something, and fell flat on her face. "Why don't you watch it, punk!" she cried, rubbing her forehead. She was so used to all of the shady characters in the Underground Path in Goldenrod. Her mom never let her go there, but May went on anyways. When someone tried to pick a fight, she'd punch, kick, bite, and over all fight like a savage. So when she came home, she'd be covered with bruises, sores, and cuts. And as you probably guessed, her mom wasn't exactly happy about that. The thing, which now proved to be a person, didn't answer, but picked off something off the floor in a hurry. As the person got up to leave, she curiously snatched its arm, and its face turned to her. Her mouth fell, and her eyes became wide. Next to her was Brendan. Brendan seemed equally shocked. "What? Let go of me!" he said, jerking his arm away from her. "What are you doing here!" she cried. He swiftly clamped his hand over her mouth. She let out a muffled cry. "Keep it down. To answer your rather nosy question, I am running away from home." May started commenting on how she wasn't nosey but stopped. "Why?" she said instead. He sighed, and rolled his eyes. "Haven't I told you? My dad! He wants me to become a trainer at his gym!" he laughed. "He's lost his mind! I would rather throw my Mudkip in infested dirt!" May stared guiltily at the ground. Brendan sniffed and stormed ahead to Route 101.
May blinked, still on the floor. Suddenly, the door of May's house, which was right in front of her, slammed open. Her mom stood in the doorway, her eyes filled with fury, her curly brown hair wild. May swallowed. This was her 'I'm really mad' look, as May liked to call it. Mrs. Birch was first to break the heated silence. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! I-I WAS WORRIED…SICK ABOUT YOU!" she hollered.
"But…"
"NO BUTS! YOU BETTER HAVE A DECENT EXCUSE, YOUNG LADY!"
May suddenly got a rather silly idea. Behind her back, she snatched one of the many flowers that grew across the town, and said blankly. "I…uh…was out looking for a flower to give you…" her face was turning pink. Mrs. Birch's expression softened. "Why, thank you! That's quite a pretty one, too! Now, now, go on in inside." She made a hand motion for May to follow, and May breathed a sigh of relief. "Sit down." She ordered May, motioning to one of the chairs at the table inside. May obeyed. Mrs. Birch intertwined her fingers and rested her head on them. "Now, May, I'd like to talk to you about the future." She started. "Oh boy" she thought sarcastically. "Well, your father and I have decided you will work full-time at the Lab." May cried, "What! You better be paying me well for this!" Mrs. Birch sighed. "Well, May. You won't be paid, but at least you'll have a reputation here for being a clever little girl!" May's nostrils flared with anger. Her fists were clenched, and they trembled in fury. Angry tears welled up in her eyes. She gave one last heated glare at her mom, and stormed upstairs to her room. She collapsed on the bed, sobbing angry tears. She buried her head in her pillow, and wiped away her tears. She then remembered Brendan, going off on his own, with only a small shoulder bag. Surely his parents didn't know about this. An idea popped in her head. She yanked open of the many boxes around her room open, and just as she had planned, found some pokeballs, potions, and antidotes. She smiled, her dad's fieldwork tools. She took as many of the items as she could fit in her yellow pack, one that she had found lying around. She wrapped the pack around her hips, and took a long, strong rope from the same box she had found the items in. She hesitated, asking herself if this was really what she wanted to do. A nagging voice inside her said, "Don't do it! You'll starve! You have no shelter, no food, nothing!" the voice was shattered by a cool, confident voice who said, "You know you want to do it. Isn't it time for a break?" May decided to follow the confident voice. So she spun the rope in the air a little, to get her target. She flung the rope powerfully out the window, and straddled it between her legs. Bracing herself, she slid down the rope, out of her house, and into the darkness, and the many adventures that awaited her.
