Ok so here's the last short update since I'm grouping these two chapters together, starting chapter 7 things get long…and complicated.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.

"Wow," Ash said as he sat back on his chair. He sipped his soda before continuing. "You did great May!"

"Aww thanks Ash," May blushed.

"That was awesome," Misty exclaimed.

"C'mon guys it wasn't all that."

"But it was," Brock smiled at her, "it really was May." May beamed at everyone.

"Thank you."

"Too bad," Misty said sadly, "you didn't win." May shook her head.

"Well it doesn't matter, it really helped me spot my weaknesses."

"Right, Ivysaur really worked hard," Brock added.

"True," Misty said, "Anyways I thought it was awesome, both of you guys were great." Ash nodded in agreement and Pikachu patted her hand in soothing sympathy. She smiled at Ash and co gratefully.

"I'm glad we came to eat, boy am I hungry!" Ash and May said at the same time. They laughed and bit into their hamburgers.

"Um May?" Brock asked.

"Wha?"

"Where's Max?"

"Uh, oh, he's with Roxanne."

"What?" Ash asked confused.

"Well since he's nine he'll be starting his journey next year, so he thought he would go to Roxanne's class for a bit, you know, to learn the latest, practice a bit."

"I see," Brock said, Ash nodded.

"So anyways, May?" Misty placed her shake down.

"Yeah Misty?"

"Do you know of anyone Ash could talk to about the League here, anyone with information?"

"Um well there's no Pokemon center in town,"

"There isn't?" the Kanto trio asked surprised.

"No, but there is one out near the outskirts of the forest. However I suggest you guys talk to Professor Redwood."

"Who's he?" Ash asked.

"He's the expert on pokemon here in Gantu. He lives in Tiny Pine Town."

"Oh, well sounds like a plan," Ash smiled. "So let's go!" May laughed nervously and didn't get up with them. "What's wrong May?"

"Nothing Ash but…we have to pay the bill, we haven't yet."

"Ahh right!"

"Ash gets so excited," Misty said cheekily, "he'd have forgotten his clothes if his mom hadn't reminded him on his first day of his journey!" He stuck out his tongue at her and she saluted him while crossing her eyes which infuriated him. Brock sweatdropped and tried to steer the conversation in a different direction.

"So…how long have you been here in Gantu, May?"

"Not long."

"So how come you're not starved May? Last I knew you weren't one to cook nor take care of basics." May laughed as she paid for her portion. Misty and Ash stopped fighting and paid as well.

"Well I would be dead bu-"

"Hey May!" Brock and Ash turned shocked and Misty peered interested at the person. May meanwhile, was absolutely thrilled.

Hoorah! Hmm some of you might already know who this is…just go on to read the next chapter to find out who it is.
