Chapter 4: You're weird lookin'!
There was a slam as May put a bottle on Nurse Joy's desk. "Can you heat that for twenty seconds for me, please?" She asked, trying to see over the counter.
Nurse Joy smiled, recognizing the girl as the gym leader's daughter. She took the bottle and complied, heating it up to the exact time. She bended over the counter, making May able to see her, and handed May the bottle. "Our microwave is out of commission. I'm very sorry." She apologized, recognizing the girl. May didn't stay for the apology, though. Nurse Joy watched curiously as she walked back out the door with a dejected look on her face. Her hand was linked with her obviously upset little brother.

Harley and Solidad watched curiously as May and Max walked out of the PokeCenter. "We're never gonna be able to find that Pokemon!" May exclaimed, clearly frustrated as she ruffled her own hair.
"Hey! Hey, Kid!" Solidad exclaimed, running up to them. Harley followed suit. May looked at them curiously. "Are you looking for a pink pokemon?"
The younger girl's head nodded furiously. "Yeah!" She cried, there was a hint of excitement and wonder in her childish eyes as she continued, "Do you know where it is!"
"No." Harley said, "But if you come with us, then we'll join together and find it as a team."
"Sure!" May cried, she then turned to Solidad, "But only if you carry Max! He's startin' to look tired!"
Harley bended down to pick him up, but May was quick to react, pulling Max away from his grip. "Not you!" She cried, hiding behind Solidad, still pulling Max away.
"Why not!" Harley demanded, glaring at the young girl.
"Because you're weird lookin'! Momma says not to talk to 'suspicible' people!" She exclaimed smartly, handing Max to Solidad. Solidad picked him up in her arms and stood up, grabbing May's hand and walking forward.
"Let's just go then, Sugar Cookies!" Harley declared, anger dripping from every word. He walked to catch up, but stopped when he saw May let go of Solidad's hand. She then bolted across the street. Across the street were two young kids. A cold looking young boy with plum colored hair and a glum looking girl with indigo hair. Both looked tired and dissapointed.
May stood in front of the girl with her hand outstretched twords her. She had a bright smile plastered on her face. "My name's May!" She said happily.
The girl with Indigo hair looked up at May and, in an instant, it seemed as if every ounce in her being became peppy and cheerful. "I'm Dawn! I'm looking for a pokemon with this boy here! His name's Paul!" She chirped, looking at the boy beside her. Dawn then turned back to May and shook her hand.
May waved both of her new companions over and introduced them to the newcomers. "We're looking for a pokemon, too. Would you like to come along?" Solidad asked in a soft, mother-like voice.
Dawn then nodded vigorously."Can we Paul?" She cried, whipping her head around to face the expressionless boy."We can find it together!" Paul nodded and Dawn squealed in delight, pumping her fists into the air.
It was then that a loud pickup truck was heard coming down the street. Everyone turned to look, only to hear a shout of a young girl saying "Now!" They watched in amazement as a tan skinned girl hopped gracefully out of the back of the truck, followed by two green haired boys who flopped aimlessly through the air, both landing on their behinds. Both boys groaned as they got up, rubbing their sore spots. The girl, however, laughed and lightly dusted her skirt off. All around the age of five or six.
"Can we do that again! Please, Cilan?" The young girl cried, looking twords the taller of the two boys.
"That was a most disgusting idea in the first place, Iris! I don't think the foul taste will ever leave my mouth!" Cilan shot back, giving her a sort of glare.
Iris pouted and turned around. She then brightened her own spirits. "Hello, Fellow pokemon seekers!" She called twords them. "I'm Iris! This is my friend Cilan!" She gestured twords the boy who was shooting her the glare as he dusted his entire ensamble of an outfit,"And this is Drew!" She pointed to the shorter of the the boys. He had a budew held tightly in his hands. "We're looking for an injured pokemon! Just like you, right?" She then asked.
"Yes." Solidad said, recovering from the young girl's grand entrance first. She then asked, "Would you want to travel with us? It seems that finding this pokemon is important to everyone."
Cilan said, "But of course! We've come all the way from Unova to meet more allies!" He looked at Drew, "We found this young man a few gas stations back and convinced him to stow along with us. We are most excited to have found so many allies!" The three children stood in the view of the setting sun, making them look like mere silhouettes.
"We would be happy for you little cookies to join us!" Harley said, ushering everyone into a group and out of town.
