May's POV May Left the Harbour only to come across one person she did not expect- Professor Oak "Hello Professor!" May greeted "Ah May what a surprise to see you here isn't the Grand festival on in Johto shouldn't you be competing?" The Old man Replied May shuddered at the memory of what had happened Flash Back May was running for her life as the Waters were rising out of the sea in a huge wave the size of a small sky-scraper then she saw a life boat with an Abra on it- the last one she bolted for the boat as the wave started to come down she just made it the Abra sensing the danger used Teleport to get out of there just as the colossal wave came crashing onto the land they materialized near by they watched in horror as the island that was The contest central of Johto disappeared beneath the waves she looked around to see Drew, Harley and Solidad in the boat with her she looked again to where the Island was only to sea nothing but ocean. End Flash Back "There was a freak wave and everything was destroyed" May responded rather reluctantly wanting to forget that horrible experience "Oh I'm sorry" the old Professor responded "It's ok you didn't know!" May said trying to be like her old Perky self to calm the old man They then went to the pokémon centre to discuss more- at that very moment her Poketech rang (A/N just in case your wondering her ring tone is the pokémon advanced theme song) "Hello?" she said down the line "Hey May I was just wondering how you were getting along at the Grand festival" the other person said who turned out to be Ash "Oh- um it got cancelled" she replied "Why? What happened May!" Ash sounded down the phone in a worried voice "There was an- accident" she didn't want to worry Ash too much "Where are you now?" He asked "Canalave city" "I'm going straight there!" he called "No Ash please don't go out of your way for me!" she said very guiltily "It's ok I'm going there for my next gym badge anyway!" he said in a cheery tone
Ash's POV
Ash hang up and looked at his companions "We gotta hurry!" he said as he started to leave "Why what's wrong?" Brock said "Yeah what's wrong with May?" Dawn said Startled at the boys change in pace "No time gotta go now!" he called racing along the Road like a Rapidash on Carbos. -(time skip) (A/N Warning this may upset more sensitive readers) As they arrived at Jubilife City what they saw shocked them to their very core. Thousands upon thousands of Refugees are sitting on the roads and path ways of the once bustling City "So this is what May was talking about!" Ash exclaimed glad that his close friend and pupil ended up better than these poor souls. Dawn wept at the sight and Brock just could not believe his eyes "Damn" was all Pikachu could muster- not that anyone could understand him "Come on lets go" Ash said finally getting over the pure shock of what they had saw. They set off reluctant to just brush off what they had just saw and could see around them as they looked around they could see the affects of the catastrophe in the eyes of it's victims Trainer, Coordinator, Breeder and Civilian alike were not spared. They saw trainers comforting their scarred Pokémon or each other Mothers crying over dead children and children crying over dead Pokémon They wept tears for the victims as they went on still making their way to Canalave City trying to keep their guilt at bay they almost managed it until a little girl who was chasing a butterfly fell over in front of them she started to cry- this they could not ignore Ash bent down and helped her up gave the still weeping girl a pat on the head and some words of encouragement and then Brock gave her a loaf of bread and some water and Dawn gave her one of her hair ribbons. The Girl smiled thanked them and skipped off to where ever she came from Feeling good about themselves they carried on till they reached the lake separating them from their destination. (End of upsetting bit) "Now what?" Brock said in despair seeing no way of crossing the vast face of water. At that moment something strange happens- something that happens only in the rarest of occasions-Ash had a good idea. "Hey Brock why not use Croagunk to knock down that tree there the water isn't flowing so we don't nee to worry about it flowing away with us on it-and it's long enough for us to cross!" Ash stated "Good idea Ash-Croagunk Go!" the older teenager replied realising the Blue Toad Pokémon "Croagunk use Poison Jab to knock that tree over!" Brock commanded. And with that the blue sumo toad smashed through the tree with a mighty punch and with a crash the tree landed at the other side "Good work Croagunk return" The teen says returning his pokémon. They set about crossing the log by that I mean a worried Ash ran along the log while the other two followed nervously behind- Dawn almost fell in but Brock saved her at the last minute when they made it to the other side they looked to see Ash entering the City they sighed a huge sigh of fatigue as they knew they would be like this until he found May. Ash ran through the city until he found what he was looking for- The Pokémon Center As he opened the door he bumped into the one person he was hoping to find- May "Hey May are you ok?" he asked his former pupil "I'm ok what are you doing here?" she asked in wonder at how the boy managed to get there so quickly "As soon as I heard from you I was worried stiff about you so I came running!" he stated May was touched that the boy that she looked up to went to such measures to make sure she was alright- but at that very moment Dawn and Brock arrived out of breath and bent over double; ruining the moment. May giggled at the sight guessing that they had tried to keep up with Ash knowing from experience that the best way is to let him race on ahead and go and meet him at the end-not that keeping up with him was a problem for her nor the fact that she wanted to be separated from him either she felt very safe and happy when ever he was about so she like to keep that feeling going for as long as possible. "So you found her*puff* then Ash-*pant* hi May glad to see your*puff* alright*pant*" Panted a fatigued Dawn. "Ah hello Ash what a nice surprise!" beemed a rather familiar voice "Professor Oak!" Ash cheered seeing his old friend
