As Ash and the crew ported, they were surprised when May and Max were waiting. "Hi Ash!" May said, running up to Ash and giving him a tight hug. "How's Sinnoh?"
"It's been great, we've met a lot of friends on the way," Ash replied, giving a quick glance to Dawn.
"That's great-"
"Hey Ash" Max said cutting May off. "How've you been?" With that, May shoved Max to the unforgiving concrete floor. He ended up with a bleeding knee and bended glasses, May didn't even take a second look and went straight back to Ash.
"Sorry Ash, he's an annoying brat."
"No, it's ok" Ash replied hesitantly. He actually felt bad for Max, he meant no harm.
"Hi May," Dawn came in now.
"Hi Dawn, so how's Pikachu Ash? Did it learn anything new?" May said, once again ignoring everyone but Ash.
"Yeah, it learned volt tackle,"
"That's great. All right crew, let's head on over to the hotel and settle down." May said.
For Ash, it was dejavu all over again, except this time, it was with May. Dawn was staying as far away as possible from May; she was starting to hate her guts. She just wanted to give May a good lesson and shove her to the ground like May did to Max, who was still trying to recover with Brock.
After about a good half an hour of walking, they arrived at the hotel. Everybody got there own room, Brock, May and Max, Dawn, and Ash. But it wasn't long until both May and Dawn walked up to Ash's room in unison.
"Where are you going?" Dawn asked May.
"I'd like to know the same." May said with an attitude.
"Well excuse me but that's none of you're business," Dawn replied, firing back.
Since Dawn knew where May was headed, she had no mercy. In one swift movement, she kicked May in the gut. After May had doubled over in pain, Dawn slapped her across the face. She opened Ash's hotel room door in May's face, and walked in.
