Chapter 19M
May was taken aback. The last thing she expected was for a man to attempt to kidnap her, or whatever this was. The man in black sighed, saying "Look, I don't want to do this either. But please, make this easy on me and neither of us will get hurt much." He then stepped forward tentatively, and tossed out a pokeball, summoning a Machop.
Reacting quickly, May chose the Treekips. She held out three fingers, to do Leafage.
"Alright, Chop, Low Kick."
The Machop nodded, and swiftly brought (M)Treekip to his knees. As he fired a Leafage in return, a purple hue came over (M)Treekip's forehead.

(M)Treekip ran up to May, and she used the Antidote discreetly. With that, the battle resumed.

The Machop used Low Kick, dealing another strike, but then collapsed, swirls in his eyes.
"Well, now I have a reason not to bring you. Bye, Miss." said the man, before pulling out his pokeball.
"Chop, return!" with that, the man in black retreated.
Authors note: I think I'm 2 weeks late, but oh well there was March Break
