Chapter XXIV: The Calming Down Chapter

It's been a while now as May and Brendan was riding on the road with their bikes. They had now entered the heart of Route 111 South, and Brendan was now starting to think about his next badge even though he just got his third (by luck).

"So what's the name of the next town for my badge May," Brendan asked as the two rode their bikes down a little hill in Route 111 South

"Hell if I know," May said. "You have a PokeNav, why don't you just use that," May asked as she tried to turn her bike once more. "Damn, this bike is fast as I don't know what, but it sucks when it comes to turning it," she said while trying to turn it once more.

"Well, my PokeNav's at my side and you have a PokeGear that's on your wrist." Brendan said. "So why don't you just tell me what's the name of my next town," Brendan said.

"Don't be such a lazy bastard, and check it out for yourself," May said.

"Stupid bitch," Brendan whispered from under his breath. All of a sudden, they stopped riding when they encountered two huge boulders.

"Great, now what," May asked while getting off her bike and looking at the big things.

"Well, maybe these are signs from Ho-oh telling us to stop riding for a bit and have some lunch?" Brendan asked hopefully.

"We'll eat later, for now let's just find out how to move these damn thing," May said.

"But I'm hungry," Brendan said.

"Yeah, then you'll eat and get hungry again 20 minutes later," May said. Brendan looked to the ground.

"So…" he said silently.

"Well, how do you suppose we move them," May asked. Brendan got a look of concentration onto his face.

"We could always try by hand." Brendan suggested while walking up to the rock.

"No that's retarded," May said while examining it. "Well, my dad's a professor, so I should have inherited some of his intelligence," May said.

"He's intelligent at Pokemon Research, not physical science you idiot," Brendan said. "Great, so how will we move it?" Brendan asked.

"Well…maybe it's a sign from Lugia saying that we should stop riding for a while and have some lunch," May said while sitting down and smiling.

"That's exactly what I said," Brendan said while getting slightly annoyed.

"No you said Ho-oh," May said. "And besides, everyone knows that Lugia could kick Ho-oh's ass," May said while grinning.

"When Lugia can beat Ho-oh is when I do you in your ass, and that'll be never," Brendan said while grinning. All of a sudden, May backed up her butt in the middle of Brendan's waist. Aka: his special space. "What the hell," Brendan said while backing up but not wanting to.

"There, you did me." May said. "Now Lugia wins!" She yelled in triumph.

"Shut up stupid all you did was put your butt on top of my…" then Brendan purposely cleared his throat.

"So, that still counts, right Jessica?" May asked while looking at Brendan's Pokedex.

"Damn right it does," the Pokedex said. "So Brendan, how does it feel to be partially laid?" she asked.

"Shut it Jessica, we weren't talking to you," Brendan said annoyed.

"Uh, I think I did Mr. Unintelligent," May said. Brendan rolled his eyes, and then decided that arguing with May and his Pokedex was worthless. So Brendan just sat down and decided to start up the picnic. As May set up the blanket and the all of the Pokemon's food and such Brendan cooked up some beef stew (beef chunks, carrots, and potatoes), Fried Rice (along with bits of chicken, onions, and fried eggs), and onigiri. When he completed the food, May and Brendan released their Pokemon.

"Come on out guys," she said while releasing her Pokemon: Swellow, Skitty, Combusken, and Beautifly popped up while going for their food happily.

"You too," said Brendan, as he released his Heracross, Aron, Nuzleaf, Marshtomp, and Slakoth. When they all appeared, everyone started eating their food all merrily and happily. It was even quite calm for the moment, when all of a sudden, a man came out from the distance.

"AHA!" he shouted. "So you're the ones who were on television a few minutes ago," he said.

"We might be," said May and Brendan as they took a bite of their beef stew.

"Well, just to let you two know, I and my happy campers here would like to challenge you guys to a battle," he said. All of a sudden, a small group of kids came, and they all smiled happily at them.

"I'm Carol!"

"I'm Trent!"

"I'm Brice!"

"And I'm the Camp Leader, Larry," he said.

"Well, we'll battle you in a sec; just let us and our Pokemon freshen up some." Said Brendan as he took a bite of fried rice. May and all 9 of the Pokemon agreed.

"Well, we were also wondering if you'd let us share yawl's meal," he said while looking at the food eagerly. May took a chunk of her beef stew, and threw it at the distance.

"Go fetch," she said. All 4 of the camper people went to go fetch the chunk of beef that she threw.

"Stupid shits," said May and Brendan in unison…

May and Brendan battled the 4 hikers (May battled Larry and Trent; Brendan took out Carol and Brice), and in total, they racked in 1936P (Brendan made 1008, May made 928). After the Hikers ran away liking their wombs, May and Brendan packed up, returned all of their Pokemon, and decided to head on out some more. After a short 3 minute walk, they reached a passage, but it was blocked by Team Magma members.

"Halt, who goes there," said one of them waking up.

"Two travelers who need to get there to get to Lavaridge Town," said Brendan.

"Well too bad," he said. "This area is officially in Magma control. Wait…" he said silently. "Are yous guys for the uh…21102," he whispered.

"The what," asked May.

"Never mind," said the other one sleepily. "If you want Lavaridge, you're gonna have to take the cable car up to Fiery Path," he said. "It'll take longer, but you'll still get to Lavaridge," he said.

"Let us in," said May. All of a sudden, one of them pulled out an AK-47.

"Fiery Path it is," said Brendan, as he took her hand, and ran off on his right. It was a silent walk to the Fiery Path, as May was thinking about her folks back home, and Brendan was too distracted on the egg moving so much in his backpack.

"Damn egg," he said. "I should've cooked this thing for breakfast a while ago. There was a shrill gasp in the bushes, and May and Brendan turned their heads sharply to see what happened.

"Dammit," said Brendan holding his neck. "Whiplash," he said. May noticed a patch of blonde hair go back down to the ground when Brendan received his whiplash.

"That Terra girl's still following us," she thought. Then she grinned heavily as she knew what to do now. "Time to tear a weak heart," she thought while turning to Brendan.

"Oh my Kyoge, Brendan, are you okay," said May in an awfully nice tone. Brendan found that weird, but she noted for him to go with it, so he did without a complaint.

"I'm alright," he said as if he survived from a war. "But my neck…"

"You poor thing," she said while sitting down, and placing his head onto her legs. She then began to massage Brendan's neck softly. "Is that better?"

"Yeah…it's pretty soothing," answered Brendan casually, but he still wanted to take advantage of May's sudden kindness. So he still acted weak some, and May continued to rub his neck.

"Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Terra," said May, as she knew that the blonde haired girl behind the bushes was fuming.

"You know, this is really comfy," thought Brendan as he smiled with his eyes closed. After another few minutes of neck rubbing, Brendan declared that he was okay.

"But just to make sure," said May. She then pecked Brendan's neck and cheek. "We have to keep the money holder of the group nice and strong to buy me stuff, right?" she asked. Normally, Brendan would interject something stupid, but this time he shook it off, due to the neck rub.

"Sure, okay," said Brendan.

"Cheap whore," a feminine voice in the bushes said.

"What was that," asked Brendan in confusion.

"Oh, nothing, nothing," said May. They began to walk again, and while Brendan wasn't looking, May flicked her off for a short moment, and then continued to walk with Brendan. More noises in the bushes could be heard…

"I think I'm going to need my flashlight," said Brendan, as he dug into his bag, and pulled out a large yellow flashlight. He flicked it on, and the two of them headed within the cave. After a few minutes walking in, May noticed a few humongous boulders blocking their path West.

"I gave that HM to Combusken early today," said May. "Strength, I think I can have her move the boulders…"

"I think we should just stay north," said Brendan.

"Well, I'm going west, for now," she said while taking out her Combusken. "Use Strength on the Boulders," she said. Combusken charged itself up, jumped into the air, and broke the boulder in one good punch. "Great job, Combusken," she said as the two of them climbed over the remains.

"Brendan, you coming?" she asked.

"It's alright," he said. "I'll just wait for you."

"Suit yourself," said May, as her and Combusken hopped the busted boulder. Brendan sat onto the ground, and pulled out that Travel Shower that May forced him to buy in chapter 10.

"Take me a shower, I didn't do it this morning," he said. He removed his clothes and things, turned the shower on (odd how it didn't need a connected water source for water to come out), and Brendan put on his new Axe Shower gel called "Boost (boost your sexual perception). And just for fun, he even put some in his hair. A pair of eyes was eyeing Brendan so obsessedly, and the voice screamed out: "Brendan, you're mine!!!" shouted the voice.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" shouted Brendan as a figure jumped into the shower with him…

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Alright Combusken," said May. There was a creepy purple Pokemon named Gloom blocking her way to a Leaf Stone that she wanted to pick up. "Use Ember!" she shouted. Combusken shot out little pellets of fire at Gloom, as it was running around in circles on fire. It then fell on to the floor, knocked out. May threw a Pokeball at it, and it became the newest member of May's group.

"I need a nickname for you," she said while picking up the Leaf Stone that Gloom was guarding. "Hm…let's see here…"

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Who the hell are you," said Brendan, pushing the figure out of the travel shower, and closing the curtain on him and his junk.

"It's Terra, you know, the girl from the Battle Tent in Chapter 17…" she said.

"Well…I remember you, but why the hell are you in my shower?!"

"Because that damn girl's gone, and now you're mine!" she said.

"Look, you crazy bitch, at least let me put on some clothes before you start attacking me," he shouted annoyedly.

"I'm sorry, I just can't help myself…" she said.

"Yes you can," said Brendan. "Stop attacking people while their in the shower…

"HEY!!!" shouted May's voice as she jumped over the boulder she destroyed before.

"May, oh Thank God You're Here…"

"Pss…that show sucks," answered May. "Anyway, get the hell away fro him, he's in the damn shower for…wait why're you taking a shower in the middle of a cave?" asked May.

"Just help me out here!" shouted Brendan.

"Right," said May, as she moved over to the girl.

"Stay back," said Terra as she pulled out a Pokeball, and pointed it to May.

"You wanna go with me, again," asked May.

"Bring it, bitch," said Terra. "I chose, Mawile," she said. Suddenly, an odd yellow Pokemon with a black mouth for a head came out.

"I chose my Skitty," said May. The goofy pink cat came out of May's Pokeball, and Brendan decided to get dressed while watching them go at it.

"Mawile, use Crunch!" shouted Terra.

"Skitty, Double Slap!" shouted May. The two Pokemon charged at each other, then Mawile bit its teeth into Skitty, but the Skitty slapped itself out the Crunch, and then smacked Mawile in the face.

"Vice grip!" shouted Terra. Mawile then used its gigantic teeth to have Skitty in a hole.

"SSSSSKKKKKKKIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTY!!!" it shouted in pain.

"Skitty, Growl," said May. Skitty unleashed an eerie growl, which had Mawile let go. "Now use your Double-Edge," she said. Skitty gave an extremely hard tackle onto Mawile, and then it flew back and hit Terra. She returned her Pokemon, and glared at May.

"You won this round," she said while gathering her things. "But next time you won't be so lucky," she said as she ran passed May, and slapped Brendan on the butt as he was putting on his socks (and sadly, if you put on your socks standing up, your butt does quite stick out).

"Oh!" said Brendan as Terra stormed off. When she was completely gone, Brendan finished putting on his clothes, and was annoyed by the sting of his left butt cheek.

"Are you okay," asked May as Brendan emerged from behind the curtain.

"Yeah, just minimal damage on me backside," said Brendan as he stuck his butt out to May. "Wanna kiss it, and make it feel better?" he asked while grinning. Instead, May just slapped the other cheek. "OW!" shouted Brendan.

"You couldn't be a stripper," she said. "All guy strippers can take hard smacks to the butt; they beg their parents to whoop them."

"I'll be too busy being a Pokemon Master," said Brendan confidently.

"Whatever, let's just get out of this cave," she said.

"Agreed," Brendan sighed while packing up the Travel Shower. The two of them smiled as they made their way out of the Fiery Path…

sigh I am so (to the billionth power) SORRY that I have not updated for more than ½ year, but school's a total bitch, and fan fiction's update thingy's being hardheaded as well. So I'll tell you what, as a apology (and gift of gratitude for those who's stuck with this story since the beginning), if there's something you want seen or done in this story, just tell me in a review, and consider it done (except for lemons; making out is a bit more possible). It can be a character from the/another anime who makes a surprise appearance, your own made up character battle one of the main guys (just tell me their physical appearances and Pokemon), or something you want done. Like I said before, I'm SO sorry of the late update, and tell me what you want done in here. Another thing, this chapter was quite boring because it's called "the Calming Down Chapter," but tell me what you think about it, lemme know! Thank you
