Uncoordinated

Background info: First off, I don't really like pokemon…I mean, I used to, in the first season and the first few episodes of pokemon advanced….I thought May would be cooler but that was before she became really good friends with Ash…What I'm trying to say is that I don't know much about pokemon anymore and the few episodes I watch are the ones with Drew in it.

Info you should know: I don't remember many advanced pokemon. I only know that Drew has a Roselia and that May has a torchic, skitty, and beautifly. I also don't remember any towns, so please bear with this fic. Also, I made May a lot more…dense, but I think it makes pokemon more fun! It might seem like May bashing, how should I know? I like this May though…

Summary: A gym battle and pokemon contest are happening at the same time at different towns, and both Ash and May want to go. May decides that its best if they part ways, and meets someone familiar along the way.

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own pokemon cuz I don't even like it anymore.

Chapter 1: Bye Ash! Oh yeah, and Brock, and Max…

May just lost her Pokemon Contest, the one where she got overconfident.

She felt bad she lost, but she had to lose sometime!

"So what's next? Where are we going this time?" May asked, ready to get a move on.

Brock answers her, "The next town has a gym—"

"Great, let's go there!" Ash interrupts.

"Let Brock finish!" says May, punching him in the face.

"That hurt…" says Ash, tears streaming down his face.

"Did it? I always knew I was strong!" says May happily.

Brock clears his throat.

"Sorry" says Ash and May in unison.

Brock looks at the map in front of him. "The same distance away from here is another town where a pokemon contest is taking place" says Brock.

"Are there any gyms there?" asks Max.

"No. Oh, and there's some bad news" says Brock.

"What?" asks Ash, May, and Max at once.

"I heard that the gym is going to move soon, so we don't have much time. The contest will end at around the same time. By the time we reach either town, the other one is going to end" says Brock.

"So you're saying…" starts May.

"That one of us is going to have to give it up?" finishes Ash.

"Yup. Sorry guys" says Brock sympathetically.

"No problem! I'll go myself to the contest! This might be your only chance to get to the league, Ash, so I think you'd better get going! Besides, I can't travel with you guys forever, right? Just take care of Max for me, will ya? We can meet back at my house after the Grand Festival and the League competitions are done" says May.

"Are you sure, May? Will you be okay by yourself?"

"I'll be fine!" May scoffed. "Quit worrying!"

"Before you go, take this. It's my old cookbook. You might need it—"

"But won't you---"

"I memorized it by heart."

"Oh" says May. "Thanks!"

"And here…" says Brock, handing her a little pouch. "Here are some ingredients in case

you need to cook something up."

"Thanks Brock! You're the greatest!" May practically beams at Brock. But just as soon as she said that, her expression started to change. "Wait…it's like you knew this was going to happen…"

"Well…" said Brock, looking embarrassed. May starts to walk away, waving, and not looking where she's going.

"Never mind. Thanks again Brock! And take care Max! See ya! And don't tell Mom about this!" She says, now shouting to be heard, still waving.

"Ow! Don't worry, I'm fine!" She tripped, but got up again. A few seconds later, she moans in pain since she's tripped again, and every few seconds she stumbles and falls. Then, five minutes later, still waving, she bumps into a tree. A distant shout of, "I'm

okay!" and May left their field of vision.

Ash and friends have sweat drops going down their heads, and Ash says, "I wonder if she'll be okay…" Then they resume their own journey without her.
