As Ash and May were waiting for Brock and Max there was an akward silence between them. It was only for a few moments until the waitress came with their order.
"So...," Ash started. "Brock and Max are sure taking their time."
"Yeah...," May replied. "Maybe you should check on them?"
"You're right," said Ash as he got up from his seat. "Stay here Pikachu."
Ash got up from his seat and headed to the bathroom which was located near the entrance. As he went in there was nobody.
"Brock? Max?" Ash called out but no response. He then went toward each stall opening them one by one.
Meanwhile...
"Huh." May sighed as she stared out the window. Pikachu who heard her, moved toward to check whether she is alright. "Hey Pikachu."
"Pika pikachu" the yellow mouse responded.
"Pikachu...," May began to gaze into Pikachu's dark eyes. "You've known Ash for a very long time haven't you?"
"Pika?" Pikachu said with his head tilted in confusion.
"Well," May said while playing with her hands. "I mean, you and Ash have been through a lot... and I was wondering if you knew he had someone in his mind... does he?"
"Pika pi!" The mouse exclaimed.
"His mom?" she stared at the pokémon blankly. "No I mean.. does he like someone?"
"Pika?" Pikachu has mistaken. "Pika pi" It had said with disappointment.
"So you don't know?" She sighed. "Well it was worth asking."
She then began to gaze outside the window again and think. Her train of thought was interrupted when Ash came back toward the table running.
"THEY'RE NOT IN THE BATHROOM!" Ash yelled.
May was startled. "What do you mean they're not in the bathroom?!"
"I looked everywhere in the bathroom. Twice!" He exclaimed.
"Are you-"
"Yes I'm sure," Ash said breaking off May's sentence. "I also asked the clerk if they saw them."
"And?" she asked.
"They left" Ash said.
"Why did they leave? And without telling us?" she questioned.
"Dunno..." Ash began to think.
"Well what the heck are we waiting for?" May said bringing Ash back to Earth.
"Well," Ash said. "I was hoping we could finish our meal before looking for them."
"Oh," May then heard hers and Ash's stomach growl. "I can agree to that then."
Both Ash and May began to eat on their breakfast so they could start their search. As they prepared to leave Ash had gone through his bookbag to leave some cash on the table. "Ok let's go," Ash said. "Thanks for the food." He looked at the waitress who was picking up both their plates.
Ash and May dashed through the door.
"My, my," the waitress. "That couple was in a hurry."
"You said it l" The clerk said while counting the money.
Back to Ash, May and Pikachu.
As Ash, May and Pikachu exited the restaurant, Ash stopped and wondered. May aware of this, she looked back at him. "Ash? Hello?"
"I'm just wondering," Ash said. "Where the heck are we going to start?! This is a city. And a huge one!"
All three fell to the floor as soon as they realised the top question: where do they start.
"You're right about that" May responded.
"Pika pi" a disappointed Pikachu said.
"Well," Ash soon got back up. "If we start walking we may stumble on to them." He then extended his hand toward May to pick her up. May slightly blushed. And Pikachu jumped on his trusted trainer's shoulder.
They began walking into the city where more people were to see if the Pokémon Breeder and the boy were there.
Where are you? both Ash and May thought. Is this your idea of a plan? To leave us together? Both the Trainer and the Coordinator blushed at the thought.
Meanwhile
"Hope my sister and Ash are doing ok.." said Max while staring out through a window from a 15 story tall building.
"They're ok Max," a certain tanned man came out from the pantry said. "They just need some time alone together so they could see where they're at in their relationship."
"Fine," Max said while annoyed at the thought. "But do you think this was the only plan we had to go through with?"
"Yup!"
Back to Ash, May and Pikachu.
As Ash and May were walking, a familiar aura from afar town has also entered the city.
"Ouch... ouch... ouch" said a cream colored furred feline.
"Shut up Meowth!" said a woman with long crimson magenta hair.
"Jessie please calm down" said an exhausted periwinkle haired man.
"Why should I, James?" an angry Jessie replied.
"Well," James explained. "Cause I love you and cause we're near the city."
"Fine!" said the displeased woman.
"How 'bout this time we just have a small vacation?" suggested Meowth.
"You know what," said James and Jessie at the exact same time. "You're right!" Finally entering the city.
