Ash waddled away from the Titan's Wrath (a roller coaster name), green. Whereas, May, on the other hand, happily dragged Ash to the next attraction, House Of Horrors.
"Please May, can't you go in alone and I'll gladly wait here?" said Ash, as he cringed at the fake beheaded Blastroise.
"Nonsense, no ride will be as fun with out you!" May said, a cheery smile dancing on her face.
"But, May, you know how I am afraid of th", Ash stopped himself in time, and went red.
But May got his drift as a mischievous grin filled her face,
"Oh, so is the big and strong Ash, afraid of some beheaded and dismembered Pokemon?" she said.
May knew she caught Ash there. If he backs down, he would appear weak to May.
"Waaaaaa? No way, man! Me? afraid? I tried to punch Mewtwo with my bare hands!" Ash boasted, puffing out his chest.
"heh, that's stupidity, not bravery! Now lets go! If we miss this ride, the other is a 45 mins wait away!" she said as she pulled Ash by his arm, attracting glances from the passer bys.
May made Ash sit in the car, despite his protests.
The wooden door before them opened, revealing a dark and ominous cavern, where moans could be heard.
"WOW! Ash, this is so realistic!" May said, her eyes glinting with playfulness.
"yeah, great!" said Ash, trying to hide the fear in his voice.
"This gonna be so awesome!" May said as the train began moving.
Ash groaned and rested his head on the door of the train, "this is gonna be a long ride"
"Well, here we are!" said Max, checking his Pokenav.
"you sure? ALRIGHT! Lets go find Ash and May!" said Brock.
As they began advancing towards the city, a huge explosion took place and sent Brock and Max ten feet into the air and they landed with a sickening thud.
"ooh, my ribs." Groaned Brock as he got up, wincing from the stabbing pain in his torso.
Max adjusted his glasses and looked at the direction in which the explosion had occurred. Where once there had been trees, now stood a huge crater that was steaming heavily, surrounding it was a ranging inferno, engulfing all the trees in the surrounding vicinity. Within moments the blue sky was full of grey swirling mass of smoke and debris.
"err….do you think that its alright if we just take a peek?" said Max, his eye full of enthusiasm.
"……why not….after all what could go wrong?" said Brock as he hesitantly as he began a slow stride towards the scene. Suddenly a vague outline of something or someone could be seen through the smoke.
"STAY BACK!" shouted a deep and commanding voice, that immediately stopped the advance of Brock and Max.
They swiftly looked back, only to come face to face with…..Brendan.
Brendan took out a pokeball and threw it. A muscular and towering Tyranitar appeared.
"well, old friend. Looks like our time to prove our skills is finally here. We will finally be the first human-pokemon team to capture a Deoxys." Grinned Brendan and with a rude shove, pushed Max away and ran towards the scene.
"Well isn't he charming" said Max, glaring at Brendan with pure hatred.
Brock gritted his teeth and grabbed Max's hand and pulled him towards the city.
"Ignore him and anything that has to do with him. Lets go, Max" said Brock.
"finally. Lets go, May" said Ash, bumbling out of carnival, ecstatic that he was finally free of that lame rides.
"whats your problem, Ash." said May. When suddenly it happened,they were hardly half a mile from the carnival when a explosion tore through the ground and propelled Ash and May five foot into the air, Ash landed first followed by May, who was lucky because she landed on Ash.
"owwwww! What the HECK was that" shouted Ash as May landed on him.
May grinned sheepishly and stood up, brushing dirt off her shirt and helped Ash up.
Ash grimaced as he felt his spine ache.
"May we have to get out of here, in case it happens again." Said Ash as he grabbed May's hand and pulled her along. What he did not notice was May's face that turned several shades of red.
After a few minutes of intense running, Ash and May halted. That's when Ash noticed May's face.
"May…..are you ok? You appeared to be a little red. Wait…are you running a fever?!" said Ash. He reached and took May's hand to feel her temperature.
May jerked back her hand and felt her face turn even more red,
"no…….its n-nothing" said May.
Ash did not appear convinced, "If you say so…."
"ASH, MAY!!" shouted a familiar voice from down the road.
Both Ash and May turned to see Max running towards them, a huge grin plastered on his face, followed by Brock.
"Dude, Brock, Max!" shouted back Ash waving his hands frantically, signaling them to hurry.
"Ash, you wont believe what happened! There was this explosion and then-"
"I know Max, it happened here too" said Ash as he gazed at smoke-filled skies surrounding the area. Soon, sirens filled the air.
"And, guess who I met, Brendan!" said Max, a hard look on his face.
"heh, that guy thinks he is so good, I can crush him in an instant" said Ash, his voice dripping with hatred that even surprised May.
"Ash……are you ok? You…err….appear different since you met him." said May, eyeing him.
Ash nervously pulled up his glove to avoid the exposure of the symbol on his arm and said to May, "how so?"
May was about to answer when a voice was heard behind them, that sounded like 100 pure evil.
"Ash….finally……We meet….."
