It had been several hours since may had fallen asleep in ash's arms and he had to carry her back to the pokecentre. He was now sitting in the same room as last night but now with a new inhabitant, a small tan fox with a white tipped tail and collar. She was currently chasing pikachu with her tail wafting through the air
Ash was in a chair near Mays bed, his arms crossed and head leaning to the right on his shoulder and his chest raising and falling in a steady way
"Eevee? Eev eevee vee" the small fox called as she ran,it was Pikachus turn to chase her. As pikachu raced after her eevee jumped on to Mays bed and May herself
"Orff, eevee I was having such a peaceful sleep did you have to wake me up" may asked with a twinge of annoyance as she sat up clutching her stomach
When Mays eyes finally adjusted to the light in the room she put her hand inside her pocket and pulled out a pokénav to look at the time. On the screen of the device the small digital clock in the top right hand corner read 06:27 pm, 8 hours after she had went to look for ash
"Wow I've been asleep for that long, wait how did I get here I thought I fell asleep in..." she stopped mid sentence and blushed at what she had done again.
Then when she thought about where she did fall asleep a thought came to her and she began looking around the room until she set her eyes to the left of her and found what she was looking for "there you are" she said quietly so she didn't wake him up
Pikachu had now stopped chasing eevee because he had her backed into a corner and was slowly approaching her "pika...Chu" he said mischievously
"Vui" eevee said in a cute and mock timid way which caught pikachu off guard enough for eevee to escape by jumping over him before turning around with her small pink tongue out in a attempt to tease him
When pikachu he didn't notice eevee because he was watching May watch his trainer
While may was watching ash she was thinking about what happened earlier and yesterday
'Can people actually be this kind' she thought ' I mean i've met kind people but not to this extent
While she was thinking pikachu and eevee had walked over to there respective trainers and lay down next to them, pikachu was on the floor curled up next to ash's feet and eevee wiggled her way onto Mays lap and the later was now stroking her fur
'Its almost unbelievable, yesterday I knocked him over then later on he lost sleep because of my stupid fear of thunder' may thought while cursing herself 'then today I wrongly accused him of taking advantage, and through all them things he helps me get to my contest, comforts me when I was scared and battled a tyranitar to help me'
While she thought about the events of the yesterday and today she didn't notice her Pokemon had fallen asleep. She was snapped back to reality when her stomach growled, she then looked at the clock which read 05:57pm
"Wow, no wonder I'm hungry its nearly 6 o'clock" she said before moving eevee from her lap and onto her pillow, she then stood up and walked towards the door
She took one glance back and said "I'll pick you something up while I'm out" before walking out the room
1 hour later may was returning with some take away food and a few tins of Pokemon food. As she walked through the lobby of the pokecentre nurse joy walked up to her with a smile
"Oh I'm so glad your OK miss maple" nurse joy said then her smile faultered "when that boy brought you through with all your injured Pokemon I got so worried"
"Thanks for your concern but I'm fine thanks to ash" may said smiling "if he wasn't there that tyranitar would have got me as well"
"Well thank goodness he was there but he must be a very good trainer" nurse joy stated while tapping her chin with her index finger "you see the Pokemon in that forest give the elite four a challange so they often come here to train"
"I think luck was on ash's side today otherwise you'd be implying ash I stronger than the elite four" may said and began laughing at how silly it sounded 'A 17 year old being stronger than the elite four is impossible'
And with that thought may said her goodbyes after getting her Pokemon back from recovery then made her way back to her room
As she opened the door eevee ran out and up onto her shoulder
"Vee, eev eevee vee" the small fox cooed as she rubbed up against her master
"Eevee you know I can't understand you" may said while laughing
"She said she's happy to see you and where have you been" a voice said from inside the room
When may fully opened the door ash was topless and had a towel over his head, he was drying his hair with it. When he felt the chill that came from the door he turned to face it
May was astonished at how toned he was for a 17 year old, he wasn't completely buffed to the point where he looked like a machamp but was toned enough to tell he kept himself in shape
When ash noticed may frozen in the door way he quickly found his top and put it on
"Heh' sorry about that I just got out the shower" he said rubbing the back of his head. When she closed the door she noticed his bed was finally made his bags where packed and pikachu was...missing
"Where's pikachu?"she asked
"Well I woke up and you wasn't here so I sent him to find you but it looks like I should of kept him here" ash replied then walked over to his bag to put his towel back
"Why did you send him to find me I left eevee so I thought it would be obvious I would come back" she asked with curiosity visible on her face
"Well I needed you back here because I'm leaving soon and poor eevee would be left here alone" he said while smiling, he then drew his sweat shirt over his top and placed his cap over his hair.
"Your leaving now?" May was really disappointed at this she was hoping to get to talk to him more "but its 7 o'clock and pikachus not back"
Ash chuckled a bit before he answered "well I've got to get going but your more than welcome to join me"
"Well can I atleased think about it over night?" May asked not wanting to make the disition right now
Ash thought about it for a while then came to a answer "OK but I wont be in here tonight" ash said
"Why not did you get a room" may asked
"No I just don't wanna be called a pervert again" ash joked but then returned normal again "plus I was meant to be leaving tonight so I was gonna camp in the forest"
May was hurt by his earlier statement but his later statement shocked her "why would you go back to that place" she asked not wanting to hear the answer
Ash's smile grew and he grabbed her wrist and pulled her out the door out the pokecentre and towards the forest where that monstrous tyranitar lived. May was trying to resist going near it but was futile as ash pulled her along. She closed her eyes as she approached but after 4 minutes of walking with her eyes closed ash stopped pulling her
"Hey May open your eyes or you're gonna miss it" ash said
When he spoke me made a crack in her right eye to see what he was talking about and what she saw was the most beautiful sight she'd seen in a while. Thousands of volbeat and illumiss's where dancing around a small lake which had 3 milotics singing in the middle and around the edge where mother Pokemon rocking there baby's to sleep
"There you are" ash said to a larvitar running around a tree "shouldn't you be going asleep"
When the larvitar heard ash speak it stopped what it was doing and turned to look at him, then the ground started shaking in a way that felt like foot steps
"What's that" may asked as a dark figure appeared in some bush's then another next to it
"Trouble" ash said as he stepped in front of may and larvitar ran behind ash and latched onto his leg
When the figure emerged it revealed itself to be the tyranitar from earlier and a really strong looking armaldo
"Tyranitar!" It roared when noticed ash, which made may hide behind ash and clinging onto his sweatshirt
Ash was as calm as he could be at that moment he had to be because he had to protect may and larvitar
"Come on out, torterra and staraptor" ash yelled as he threw two pokeballs into the air
Out of the first came a large green tortoise with rocks pertruding from its shell and also a tree
And out of the second came a a large black and white bird with a red comb over and a orange beak
"Terra" the tortoise screamed
"Raptor" the bird screeched while spreading its wings
"OK we'll have to finish this quick guys" Ash shouted and the two Pokemon took there positions, torterra was a few meters in front of ash and may, and staraptor flew in circles above.
"Ash, what are we going to do?" may asked in a shaky voice, she was now right behind him tightly holding onto his sweatshirt
"I'm scared, I just want to go back to the Pokecentre" she said now with tears in her eyes and burying her head into the small of his back.
Ash stood frozen when he felt how scared may was she was literally shaking and he knew she was crying because he could feel his back getting wet
"May, you can go back to the Pokémon centre if you want" ash said in a soft voice so he didn't scare her "I'll get charizard to fly you back, but I can't leave yet not while larvitars in danger and he told me about these two" ash now indicated to his opponents
"They've been hurting his mother for no reason, and chase him when ever either of them see him" ash continued but he now had anger building in his voice and may could feel him tense a bit "and if they catch him they hurt him"
Ash was now shaking with rage now and may held on a bit tighter to try to calm him down
"I didn't know this was the same tyranitar as the one larvitar was talking about before, but by the way he's behaving I know it is now" ash now loosened up and bent down to larvitars level, may let go so he didn't pull her over.
Ash was looking at larvitar who had his eyes tightly closed. "Larvitar" ash said to get his attention, and it worked because larvitar opened his left eye a tiny bit so he only saw ash "remember the promise I made you this morning"
Larvitar opened both his eyes now and nodded "that I would make sure the two bullies who hurt your mom pay for it" again larvitar nodded "well I'm about to fulfill that promise right now"
When he finished he stood up and may didn't grab hold of his top instead she stepped to the side to give him some room
"Ash, make them pay" may said with more confidence, ash gave her a thumbs up and turned to the two monstors
As ash turned staraptor stopped circling above and torterra assumed his battle stance.
Tyranitar was first to attack as it shot a dark pulse at torterra and Armaldo used water pulse on staraptor.
Staraptor dodged the water pulse but torterra just took his attack and behaved like nothing happened now it was staraptors turn and as ordered by ash it swooped up into the air before hurling itself back down engulfed in a orange flame but just before hitting the earth levelled itself out and orange switched to blue before landing a direct hit with a super effective brave bird.
Torterra was just staying still and the tyranitar took advantage of this and ran towards him ready to use a Mega punch. As tyranitar got closer Mays fear grew again and with every inch grew more and more until..."now torterra"ash shouted and when he did torterra charged using rock climb and sent tyranitar hurling through the air much like infernape did except tyranitar stopped at the second tree it hit.
May was shocked, not only had ash beat this tyranitar with a Pokemon at a type disadvantage but also with a Pokemon slower than it. "Erm, ash?" May said to get the boys attention, and it worked because ash turned his head slightly to the right so he could see her
"Yeah, what's up May?" Ash asked but kept an eye on the battle. The tyranitar was picking its self off the ground using the tree as support and the Armaldo was firing multiple water pulses at staraptor but missing every time
"I was wondering, how strong are you?" May asked, ash turned his head back to the battle before he spoke again
"Well I'm not weak" he said without telling the truth but not lying either
May didn't get why he was secretive about how strong he was but accepted his answer, even if it wasn't a full answer.
When may finally stopped thinking about how strong ash was she looked back to the battle and was shocked by the sight, the tyranitar and armaldo had scratches and bruises all over there body's and where both breathing very heavily. But may was even more shocked by the condition of ash's Pokemon, apart from a few small bruises from recoil both his Pokemon where in perfect health.
She stepped forward to get a better look but first looked at ash who looked depressed
"Can't you guys stay down" he said with sadness in his voice "you're already at your limit and to take any more would be idiotic"
When ash spoke to the Pokemon they seemed to lower there guard before they dropped to the ground with swirly eyes
"Thank goodness" may said before sighing when may was about to leave ash walked over to the two monstrous Pokemon
"You fought really well" he said while petting the tyranitar's snout"and I hope you learned a lesson here"
When may realised ash wasn't following her she turned to face his direction and once again he shocked her, ash was petting the two monsters
After 30 seconds of him petting them they began to wake up, and may took a step back but ash stayed by the two Pokemon and staraptor landed in the tree on torterra's back, and torterra began walking towards ash.
"You two really are strong" ash said as tyranitar stood up and armaldo was close behind "after all that damage you still stand up"
Tyranitar bowed its head, signifying he appreciation for the compliment. Armaldo turned away and let out a humph noise
"I would love to battle you some other time" ash said as he held out his right hand, tyranitar eyes started to burn with passion when he heard of a rematch and armaldo turned to face him with equal amount of passion "I take it that a yes"
Suddenly tyranitar picked ash up and began laughing and armaldo hugged ash as well, may heard ash start laughing and started laughing herself.
"Larv?" Larvitar asked still hiding but now behind
"I almost forgot" ash said, and got the two to put him down "come here larvitar"
Larvitar didn't want to walk to the two Pokemon who haunt his nightmares but did so anyway trusting ash
"You two have been picking on a friend of mine" ash said as he picked larvitar up " and you also hurt his mother"
When ash turned around larvitar hid his face. Tyranitar looked sheepishly to the side and armaldo looked at the ground.
"Now he a very close friend of mine and I want you to apologize to him" ash said with a serious look which may thought looked alien on him
Tyranitar finally looked back to ash with a sorry look in his eyes. Larvitar didn't look at the two afraid they'd hurt him
What larvitar didn't expect was a mechanical arm to grab hold of him and start to pull him away
"Larvitar!" He yelled as tears welled up in his eyes but he suddenly stopped with a jolt
When larvitar looked behind him he saw tyranitar looking extremely angry holding onto the bar with all his might and slowly pulling him back to ash
"Tyranitar!" It roared making a few hoothoot's and noctowl fly from the tree's, suddenly armaldo came with the same expression as tyranitar.
"ARMALDO!" Armaldo roared as he hit the bar and snapped it in two, when this happened tyranitar fell backwards but kept larvitar in the air.
When tyranitar loosened the arm off larvitar tyranitar stood up with larvitar in his arms.
Then a huge mecha stepped out of the tree line "do you know how much that arm cost, it wasn't cheap you know" a girls voice said
But tyranitar and armaldo weren't interested they were busy charging there hyperbeams.
"Tyyyyraaaaaaaniiiiiiitar!" "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmaldo!" They roared in unison and firing two extraordinary hyper beams hurled towards the robot
"Wa-wa-wait we didn't even introduce" the girl said but was unable to finish her sentence because the twin attacks hit home and blasted the robot into the sky "our selves"
Larvitar on the other hand had buried his face into tyranitar and refused to move even a tiny bit, tyranitar finally looked down at larvitar with the same sorry eyes as before.
"Larvitar I think you should at leased say thank you to them for saving you" ash said with a smile
When larvitar heard ash's voice behind him he looked up to see who saved him
"Larvi" he said when he seen tyranitar, may walked up to ash and stood next him.
"Hey ash you seem to understand them, what are they saying?" May asked watching tyranitar saying something to larvitar
"Larvitar asked him why he saved him and tyranitar is saying its because he's already caused so much pain to him and his mother that he doesn't want any more pain sorrow or anguish to come larvitars way" ash said watching the scene with a smile
"How did you change tyranitar so quickly just by battling him?" May asked more herself than ash
"I don't know" ash said now looking at the now dark sky "hey tyranitar can you and armaldo take larvitar home"
Tyranitar looked at Armaldo and Armaldo nodded with a smile then Tyranitar nodded and agreed.
"I've got a feeling them two are going to take really good care of larvitar" ash said smiling "anyway I should get you back the pokemon center"
"Well I could camp with you if you don't mind" may said while looking at the floor "I mean its a beautiful night and the volbeat and illumiss are coming back"
Ash's smile widened "well lets go get your stuff then" ash said as he began walking toward the Pokemon center.
