Ash had just stepped off the ferry and felt the breeze of johto hit him in the face. As he was enjoying the breeze something knocked him off his feet.

"oww what did i hit" a girl asked as she pushed herself onto her hands and knees

"that would be me" ash said rubbing the back of his head as he sat up and looked at the girl. She had mousey brown hair which was parted into 2 bangs one at either side of her face with a green bandana tied behined her head to keep the rest of her hair in place. She had saphire blue eyes and was wearing a light orange top with green biker shorts and a cream fanny pack.'wow she's beutiful' was ash's first thought "you ok, you hit me prettu hard"

"oh i'm very sorry you see this is my first time here and i wanted to have a look around then i heard there was a contest so i was ruahing to enter before the sign in closed and ended up hitting you" she explained as quickly as she could, if it wasn't for the year he spent with dawn ash wouldn't have understood a word she just said but he heared every word

"well if you've got to get there quickly shouldn't you get going" ash said while giving her a reasuring smile

The girl looked a bit nervous suddenly before she spoke "well you see in my hurry to get to the contest i didn't find out where it was being held" she said while looking at the floor with a heavy blush covering her face

Ash couldn't help himself he burst out laughing while pikachu began to get up from his fall. After ash calmed down he stood up and offered his hand to the girl "Hi I'm ash" the girl took his hand and stood up with his help but a sharp pain ripped through her ankle

The girl began to fall again but was caught by ash "woah, looks like you sprained your ankle"

"thanks, oh and I'm May" may said giving a weak smile "but it looks like im gonna miss that contest"

Ash smiled warmly at May "not really i can help you get there if you want" ash offered

"im greatful that you offered but i've already caused you too much trouble" may said while trying to stand on her own

"you haven't caused any trouble at all trust me" ash said with a big grin "if you seen half the things that happen around me you'd think this was a warm welcome"

May laughed at Ash's statement before answering him "well aslong as im not causing any trouble for you but do you know where the contest will be held?"

"no but im guessing if there anything like sinoh houen or kanto then they'd be held in a huge stadium and in new bark town theres only one stadium" ash said while taking a pokeball off of his belt and throwing it into the air "go charizard"

May shuddered a bit at the pokemon before her it wasn't the biggest charizard she'd seen but it was deffinetly the strongest

"erm i know its yours any everything but is it safe?" May asked scared incase the dragon tried to eat her.

Ash looked at her for a second then whistled. Soon after charizard landed before him and may

"do you think charla will mind you staying with me for a bit" ash asked. May stiffened up

'great its not even his now if it try's to eat me he can't even stop it' may thought

Ash felt may stiffen up after his question and knew what it was about like he was psycic "relax hes mine" may loosened up a bit at this statment "charla's his girlfreind"

"oh i'm sorry its just he looks like hes really strong and since i was little i always thought strong pokemon where going to eat me" may said with a faint blush

"don't worry he might look menacing but hes quite soft" ash said suddenly a yellow mouse jumped onto ash's shoulder then waved at the large dragon

"chu pika pikachu"

"may this is pikachu my strongest pokemon" ash said while gesturing to the mouse

"hello pikachu im may" may said while smiling

"anyway charizard we need you to take us to new bark stadium" ash said while climbing onto charizards back and holding his hand out for may to grab hold of. Which she did cautiously and ash helped her up but as she was about to sit ash pulled her forward so she was infront of him "its ok charizard can be a bit rough at times and we wouldn't want you falling off "

When charizard was sure they where both ready he took off and darted towards the east as fast as he could. To may the sight was breath taking the sun shone over the forest and roofs of houses. They soon arrived at the stadium and just in time for sign ins
