Author's Note: I have been informed by a kind reviewer that Celebi has no gender. Opps. Well, it looks kind of feminine. So "it" is going to be a "she" now.

Meowth was the first to rise from slumber. "Hey James, I'm hungry. Make some breakfast." No one answered him. "James!" He franticly searched the room for Jessie and James. "GUYS?" Meowth ran upstairs to the bedrooms. No one was there either. "I'm all alone…. What happened to everybody?" He sniffled. He noticed Pikachu sleeping and Ash's pokeballs on the nightstand. However, he was too traumatized to care. "I hope they're all right." He fought to keep the tears at bay.

In the bubble, Brock was the first to wake up. 'Whoa, ok. This is weird. I'm in a freaky bubble, and everyone else is here too. Maybe I'm dreaming,' Brock thought. He slapped himself. Nope, he was awake. He shook Ash, who was snoring next to him.

"Happy-snappy Pikachu," Ash mumbled groggily. He sat up and wiped his eyes. "OMIGOD WE'RE IN A STRANGE FLOATING BUBBLE ABOVE THE OCEAN AND EVERYONE IS WITH US!" Ash screamed at the top of his lungs. Everyone else bolted up.

"What strange floating bubble?" asked Jessie. She and James looked down.

"Oh, that strange floating bubble…" James finished. They both looked at each other and yelled in terror.

"What the heck are we doing here? I mean, we were just in Cerulean City and now we're floating in a bubble above the ocean? Why does this crap happen to me?" May asked. Suddenly, a small green pokemon floated down from a could.

"Hello everybody; isn't the ocean a beautiful scene?" Celebi greeted them. Everyone's jaw dropped in disbelief. "You are all wondering what you are doing here." She paused. "I am here to take all of you on a journey through time, because I want all of you to understand each other. No one here can honestly say that they know much about everyone else's childhood and problems. Some of you are also making judgments before you know all the facts. I'm here to fix that. I will show all of you your pasts and futures." The group began to whisper amongst each other. Celebi sighed, and then asked, "Can we start now?" All six of them shut up. Celebi smiled. "The first past that we will view is the past of May." She waved her hand. A light shone ahead of them. The bubble (with Celebi flying besides it) zipped into the portal.

The light cleared, and they saw May's mother and father in a hospital. May had just been born, and was cradled in her mother's arms. Norman had a sour expression on his face. "Oh Norman, don't be so stubborn! I'm sure she'll love pokemon and be a good gym leader after you've retired," May's mother spoke cheerfully to her husband. He still looked disappointed.

"I wanted my first child to be a boy. Boys love pokemon on a whole different level than girls." Norman muttered wistfully. His wife gave him an extremely cold look.

"Stop being a sexist pig, Norman. She is our child, and will be just as capable as any boy." She spat. Norman left the room in a huff. She looked lovingly down upon May. "Don't worry my love, he will learn to accept you soon enough." The scene went black.

"Oh my god, I didn't realize my dad thought that," May said to herself. She poked the bubble in anger. It didn't pop. Ash patted her back to comfort her.

The bubble zoomed ahead again. May was about four in this memory. She was doing a silly dance with a Vigaroth. "Yay, I love to twirl!" May giggled. Her parents were watching without her noticing.

"Do you believe me now, Norman? Look how happy she is with your pokemon," May's mother gestured towardstheir daughter. Norman nodded nonchalantly.

"I guess," he mumbled. He put an arm about his wife. "I guess you're right." They both continued to watch their daughter play.

"Well, I'm happy he changed his mind," May said after that scene went away. She was still feeling kind of sad about the fact that her dad didn't like her at first. Ash put his arm around her shoulders. May was so bummed that she didn't notice.

The bubble sped ahead again. May was about six this time. She and her family were in a hospital again. Max was in his mother's arms. Both parents looked extremely pleased. "Isn't he cute May?' Her mother cooed.

"Yes," replied May. "Can I hold him?"

"Of course," May's mother looked proud as she spoke. May held her brother close to her small body.

"I'm going to be the best big sister in the world!" May squealed. Her parents just smiled. May returned her brother to her mom. The scene faded.

Zooming ahead, they see May when she is about ten. She and her father are standing on opposite sides of the Petalburg gym. "May, you are old enough to get a trainer's license. I want you to go to Littleroot to see Professor Birch." Norman told his child.

"Why should I, dad? I don't want to train pokemon. I'd rather travel the world," May retorted. Norman fumed in anger.

"Pokemon are the greatest things on this Earth! If you are any child of mine, you will see Professor Birch. Don't you want to be a gym leader like me? When I retire, by birthright, this gym is yours to run." Norman explained. All May could do was stare in shock. Norman continued. "If you do not get a pokemon by the time you're 15, I'm not giving the gym to you. I'll give it to Max." May was in tears.

"Who wants this crummy, old gym anyways!" May yelled through tears. She ran out of the gym and into her room. The scene changes to May when she is about 14. They see her riding her bike to Petalburg to get her first pokemon. The bubble stops moving.

"The rest, all of you (except Misty) should know. She meets up with Ash and Brock and travels with them. Eventually, she ends up here. If you want more details, ask her later." Celebi explained. "Any questions, anyone?"

"Yes," said May. "How come you know more about our pasts than we do?"

"It's quite simple, May," Celebi replied. "I can travel through time and look upon past events. Humans can't do that."

"This thing is really starting to creep me out," Jessie whispered to James.

"I heard that, Jessie," Celebi shot a look at her. "Are you ready for the next person's past?" She asked. Everyone looked at each other and nodded simultaneously. "Good," she chirped. "The next person's past we will view is…….."
