Here is the next chapter!

I'm not going to go into a rant about the show or anything. I am unable to do that as I have a condition called Aspergers Syndrome, which is a form of Autism. For those who don't know, Autism is a social disability. People, like me and some of my friends, have trouble going out and socialising. Whether it be on our own or with others, we tend to just stay in the back, not talk and be awkward. My disability is slightly more milder than others as I didn't find out until I was thirteen, diagnosed at ten.

The reason it is milder with me is because I like to socialise with others and will only be in affect is if I'm going to a new place I've never been before on my own, riding certain modes of transport on my own, being in difficult situations or if I am under stress.

So if you know anyone who has this condition, don't treat them as if they are fragile and don't take pity on them (Didn't mean to make that sound harsh or anything). It has happened to me and we don't like it. It affects more than others. Someone I know was bullied in the same school I went to and became mute. When he joined my third college course, he barely spoke and only whispered to people he trusted. He eventually started to speak again but we could hardly hear him and he ended up withdrawing from the course because he felt too pressured from the tutors who kept asking him to speak up (Idiots I know).

Anyway, thanks for listening and I hope you learned something from this...oh! What do you know! I actually did a rant about something! Yay me! Sorry if you didn't enjoy it though. :(

Anyway, here are the ages of Ash and the others. (Not including the traitors)

Ash (18)

May (16)

Dawn (15)

Serena (17)

On with the story!

I don't own pokemon!

Ash and the others had fallen asleep during the flight to Unova. On the way though, they made a stop in Petalburgh in Hoenn so the pokemon could rest and so May could get some of her stuff and tell her parents what happened.

When Norman and Caroline heard what happened from Ash and May, who she explained Max was part of it so she disowned him as her brother for it, Norman was furious while Caroline was none too pleased with her sons behaviour and attitude.

Norman stood up and paced. "How could that no good son of mine do this? After all you did for him! You treated him like he was your own little brother and was a perfect role model for him during your travel here in Hoenn. When he gets back, he is in so much trouble!"

Caroline stood up and stopped her husband from his pacing and ranting. "Norman. Though I'm not happy about Max's behaviour, we can't do anything about it until he gets home. Yes, he will be in trouble for this whole mess, but that will have to wait. Right now, we need to help May get some stuff so she can go stay with Ash for a while"

Norman sighed. He knew his wife was right. After all, when you are married, the wife is always right. Even when it wasn't your fault (Seriously don't understand that). Happy wife, happy life. "Okay, you're right. As always. We'll get some of your clothes May so you'll have enough for a while. As you know, you have a bank card so you can buy new stuff when you need it, but use it responsibly and only when you need it" He turned to Ash.

"Ash, may I speak with you in private?" Confused, Ash nodded and Norman took him to the kitchen, leaving May and the girls in the living room while May's mother went to her room to pack some clothes in a seperate bag.

When Norman closed the door, he turned to Ash. "Listen Ash, I know how you feel about my daughter"

Ash blushed and tried to deny it. "W-what are you talking about sir!? I don't have a crush on May!"

Norman smirked. Gotcha! he thought. "Who said anything about having a crush on her? I probably meant I know you see my daughter as a sister. But now I know the truth"

Ash cringed. Damn it! He got me! I just had to blab about my crush on May! He sighed. There was no point denying it, so he told Norman the truth.

"Truth is Norman, sir. I don't have a crush on May" Norman raised an eyebrow in question but listened as Ash continued. "I'm in love with her. It started as a crush, which happened when we were in the Battle Frontier in Kanto. Over time, it developed into love. But I'm not just in love with her. I'm sure she is my true love. The only girl I will ever love"

Norman smiled at this. Ash was always an honest person so he knew he was telling the truth. "Well then Ash, I hereby give you my permission to date May. If she feels the same way that is. If she does, there is one thing you need to promise me"

Ash gulped but nodded, he knew what Norman was about to say. Every boy who was dating the daughter of a protective father knew what was coming in this situation.

Norman narrowed his eyes at Ash and said "I need you to promise you will never hurt May in any way, shape or form, and will always protect her" Ash nodded. "And, if you get her pregnant, you will take extra care of her and make sure she and the baby are as healthy as can be. Trust me, pregnany is not easy to go through. She will be emotional, demanding and craving wierd foodstuffs. Do you promise Ash?"

Ash paled when Norman brought up the pregnancy, but he quickly nodded and shook Normans hand. "Don't worry sir. I don't plan on having kids for a couple more years yet. And I will never hurt May. She will be my responsibility while she is staying with me. And we'll call whenever we can so you can catch up. Plus, we'll be travelling through Hoenn and Sinnoh again so she and Dawn can enter the next Grand Festivals. And I will support her every step of the way"

Norman nodded, liking the sound of that. They went back into the living room and saw that the girls were all ready to go and saw that May had all her pokemon on her. He figured her mother called professor Birch and told him she was going away for a few years so she needed all her pokemon with her.

Saying goodbye to Norman and Caroline, Ash and the girls jumped back on Charizard and Starapter and was back on their way to Unova. Soon it started to turn dark and they decided to land in Sinnoh in Sunnyshore City. They went to the Pokemon Centre and entered and saw Nurse Joy. She greeted them in her usual way.

"Hello. And welcome to the Sunnyshore Pokemon Centre. I see we have a few returning faces. Hello Ash, Pikachu and Dawn"

Ash and Dawn said hi back while Pikachu gave his usual "Pika!" in reply. Nurse Joy then said hi to Serena and May, who said hi back.

"So what are you five doing here so late at night?" Nurse Joy asked curiously.

Ash answered with "We're on our way to Unova by flying on my pokemon, but we decided to stop here for the night and carry on tomorrow. Is there any rooms available at the moment?"

Nurse Joy looked through her computer, she then smiled and said "Yes. There are three rooms available. All single beds though, two are for single persons while the third is a king sized bed. Is that okay?"

As looked at all the girls. Dawn said "I'm fine with it. But I'll take one of the single beds"

Serena said "I'll take a single bed too. Do you mind sharing with Ash May?"

May blushed but stuttered out a reply. "S-sure. I d-don't mind if A-Ash doesn't m-mind" She pushed her two index fingers together in embarressment.

Ash blushed too. Those girls are so sneaky. They're just trying to get me and May alone so we'll probably end up together. She probably doesn't even like me that way anyway. Ash became saddened after thinking that. "Yeah, sure. I don't mind" He tried to sound casual, but Dawn and Serena could see he was upset about something but didn't try to pry or push into it.

Ash turned back to Nurse Joy and told her "Those three rooms are fine Nurse Joy. We've just made the arrangements between us so we're all good" And he gave her a genuine smile.

She smiled back and handed him three keys, two he gave to Dawn and Serena accordingly. They made their way towards the stairs after bidding Nurse Joy goodnight and went to their rooms. Ash and May bid Dawn and Serena goodnight before going into their own room.

When they entered, they saw the bed was in the middle of the room against the back wall, the bathroom was to the right of them and there was a T.V. in front of the bed.

Ash and May looked at each other, blushed and walked into the room. Ash nervously cleared his throat "So...do you...want to use the bathroom first?" he said slowly and nervously.

May just nodded her head, grabbed some sleeping clothes and went into the bathroom. Ash sighed in relief. He placed his bag at the foot of the bed and took out his sleeping clothes and his sleeping bag. He intended to let May have the bed and him to sleep on the floor. He promised Norman he would take care of May, and that was what he was going to do.

Soon, May got out of the shower and came out in her sleep wear. "You can go in now Ash" He nodded and entered the bathroom with his change of clothes.

May was about to head into bed, but she saw Ash's sleeping bag on the floor. She wondered Why does Ash have his sleeping bag out? Does he intend to sleep on the floor and let me have the bed? That's sweet of him but...I don't mind sharing the bed with him. I'll have to persuade him to share with me. She blushed thinking about this.

She sat on the bed and waited for Ash to come out of the shower. While she was waiting, she started to think about her feelings for Ash. She thought about the day they met, the day he encouraged her to enter her first contest, the times he comforted her when she lost a contest, their travels through Kanto for the Battle Frontier, and the last time they saw each other before she headed off for Johto. She knew that at some point she got a crush on him, but when when they seperated, she realised she was in love with Ash. And she knew why.

Sure he was dense, didn't win every league he entered, but, what she loved about him was his pure heart, his kindness, his love for his friends, family and pokemon, and his determination to never give up. She then realised, she didn't feel just love for him, she felt like she was his true love and he was hers.

But, how was she going to tell him? She can't tell him now, he just got betrayed by the people he loves the most and needed time to heal. For now, she'll keep her feelings a secret and tell him when it's the right time.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the bathroom door opening. She looked up and saw Ash coming out in his sleep wear too. He saw Pikachu curled up at the foot of the bed and smiled at May, and she smiled back. He went over to his sleeping bag and was about to get in, when May stopped him. "Wait Ash"

He looked at May and saw she was fidgeting, she seemed to be nervous. "What is it May?"

May nervously looked him in the eye. "Well, w-why are you sleeping on t-the floor? I don't m-mind if y-you share the b-bed with m-me" She blushed again.

Ash blushed also, he wouldn't mind sharing the bed with May, but, what would her dad say if he found out or what would he do to Ash? "M-May, I wouldn't mind sharing the bed with you either. It's just that, while you are with me, you are my responsibility. So I'm just doing as your dad said and making sure you're taken care of. Even if it means I have to sleep on the floor"

May smiled. "Don't worry Ash. Dad won't find out, unless he placed a recording device on me before we left, which I highly doubt. So...you can sleep in the bed...with me. If you want to that is" Ash looked as if he was about to get into his sleeping bag, which made May a little sad.

Ash saw this and walked to the other side of the bed and got in. May beamed at him and got in too. They lay on their sides, facing each other. They smiled before Ash said "Goodnight May"

Which she replied with "Goodnight Ashy. Sweet dreams" She closed her eyes and drifted off to dream land. What she didn't see when she closed her eyes, was the blush Ash sported when she called him by that nickname.

Why did she call me that? And wow. She's so pretty while sleeping. It's like she's an angel come down from heaven just to see me and be my friend. It would be so easy to kiss her right now... He shook his head at this. Quit it Ash! She probably doesn't feel the same as you! She most likely likes Drew. So stop it with these thoughts!

So he turned over, closed his eyes and fell into a troubled sleep.

Ash's Dream

Ash was walking through the Viridian Forest, on his way home to Pallet Town. Suddenly, he heard something.

Snap!

He turned around and saw all his friends and his mom there, they were all glaring at him. They started to speak to him. Saying one word each.

Dawn "Idiot"

Professor Oak "Worthless"

Gary "Moron"

Serena "Loser"

Delia "Prick"

May "Homo" (Sorry if this offends gay people. I'm not against gays or lesbians or anything, I, myself am bisexual. So again, sorry if that offended you)

Misty "Useless"

Brock "Nobody"

Max "Cheater"

They kept repeating these words at him. He turned around and tried to run away from them, covering his ears so he could stop listening, but the words seemed to be stuck in his head. Getting louder and louder each time. He stopped and looked down.

He saw his beloved Pikachu in front of him, but he was also glaring at him with sparks leaving his cheeks. And, to his surprise, Pikachu talked. But he was shocked when he heard what his oldest buddy had to say.

"You are the worst trainer ever Ash. You don't deserve me and your other pokemon. I knew I made a mistake saving you from that flock of Spearow the first day we met"

Ash was close to tears. This was his greatest fear. His friends, family and his pokemon all turning on him. He knew he didn't win the official leagues like everyone wanted, but he was trying his best. And to hear May, the girl he loved, call him that, that broke his heart.

He saw the sparks start to get bigger on Pikachu's cheeks. He then looked up and saw everyone in front of him, with May behind Pikachu, they were all smirking while they glared at him.

May suddenly ordered "Pikachu, fry him with your full powered Thunderbolt!"

As soon as the electric attack hit, Ash woke up.

He sat up in bed, breathing heavily, tears flowing down his cheeks and covered in a cold sweat.

"Ash?" He heard a tired voice next to him. He looked and saw May was awake with a concerned look on her face. "Ash, what's wrong?"

Ash didn't answer. Instead he said "Nothing May. Just go back to sleep"

But May wasn't having any of it. "Ash, tell me what's bothering you. Please? I'm worried about you. Aren't I one of your best friends?"

Ash sighed. "Yes May, you are. But it was just a horrible dream. Nothing to worry about. So please, go back to sleep" He got out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash the sweat off his body.

May sighed. It's worse than I thought. He's pushing me away. He must of dreamt all of us, even Pikachu, had betrayed him, so he's closing his heart. When we get to Unova, I'll make sure to stay by his side and make sure he gets better. She then went back to sleep.

Ash came back out of the bathroom after his wash and went back into bed. He closed his eyes and tried to think positively. It seemed to work, as he didn't have the same dream for the rest of the night.

Next morning

When Ash and the others woke up, they headed downstairs to breakfast. They entered the cafeteria and ordered their breakfast. They talked for a few minutes, but then they heard the television change to the news and heard the News Reporter say "This just in. Four young people, one boy with a Pikachu and three girls by the names of Ash, Dawn, Serena and May have run away from the Ketchum residence in Pallet Town. They have been missing since yesterday and no one has seen them since. We now go live to Pallet Town with our reporter Sarah Jane Austin (First name that popped into my head). Susan?"

The screen then changed to outside Ash's old home. They could see Misty, Brock, Gary, Professor Oak, Tracy, Max and Delia were outside. Ready to be interviewed. "Thanks Chuck. I'm outside the home of pokemon trainer Ash Ketchum, who ran away from home yesterday with three girls. Gary Oak, Professor Samuel Oak and his assisstant Tracy, say they saw Ash outside the lab after he ran away with all his pokemon on him. They say they tried to stop him and the girls but they ran before flying away on a Charizard and a Starapter. Mrs. Ketchum, can you tell us why Ash and the girls suddenly disappeared yesterday?"

The camera switched to Delia, who told them "Ash was on his way home from the Kalos region after he finished in the top three in the league there. We were all waiting for him and we were going to ask him to give up being a trainer before he gets seriously hurt. We told May, one of the girls who left with him, what we planned to do, but she told us not to. We tried reasoning with her, but she wouldn't let up. But then her brother said some mean things to him, causing him to say he hates us all before he ran away. I was just looking out for him. I'm his mother, why shouldn't I worry? I just wanted him to come home, rest up, give up his journey and find something safer to do"

The reporter then turned to Max and asked "And you are the little brother of the trainer May who ran away with him?"

Max nodded. "And what did you say to Ash that made him run away anyway?"

"I just told him he's a worthless, useless trainer that never wins any leagues. He's caught many pokemon sure, and he's won many battles as well, but he could never beat his rivals until he entered the leagues. And he only finishes at the last hurdle, leaving us all disappointed in him..." He never got to finish as the reporter suddenly said "And what did your sister say to you after said this?"

Max answered with "She disowned me as her brother. Like I care, all she ever did was hit me anyway"

The reporter then shocked him by saying "Wait a second...This just in! It seems Ash and his group arrived in Petalburgh City yesterday and spoke with the parents of Max and May. They say Ash and the others told them what happened, and that they are watching this as we speak. They are also saying that they are forbidding Max from going on his own journey until he is thirteen years old and banning him from entering the Hoenn League until he is fifteen. Sounds harsh but I'm sure the parents have their reasons. Back to you in the studio Chuck" The news then switched back to Chuck in the news room.

Ash and the others were speechless. Delia wanted him to come home, but after what they did, that was never going to happen. Turning away from the T.V., they started to eat their breakfast, which arrived as they were watching the News.

Three hours later

Ash and co have finally arrived in Nuvema Town in the Unova region. Ash lead the girls to the lab of the region professor Aurea Juniper.

When they entered the lab, they saw the professor was talking to a young trainer, who looked as if he was just starting his journey. She handed him the Unova Pokedex and five pokeballs and sent him on his way. When she saw Ash and the others, she immediately went up to them.

"Why hello Ash. Nice to see you again. To what do I owe the pleasure for this rare visit?"

Ash explained what happened in Kanto between him, his friends and his mom. When he finished, Professor Juniper was angry beyond compare.

She suddenly exploded and started to curse very badly. "Those bastards! Wait till I get my hands on those mother fuckers! They will fucking die when I get my fucking hands on them! Their deaths will be slow, so fucking slow they will be begging me to end their miserable fucking lives! I can't believe those arseholes! After all you've done for those those sons of bitches, they stab you in the fucking back!"

After calming down the professor, she calmly told them "Ash, you don't need to worry. I won't tell anyone your whereabouts" Her face suddenly lit up. "I've just had a great idea!"

And there is the second chapter! Hope you enjoyed it! And cliffhanger! MWAHAHAHAHA! Be sure to leave a review.

Hope you enjoyed the longer chapter! I'm hoping to make these chapters around this long, meaning less chapters yes, but more for you to read at once! And remember, there IS swearing in this fic and, very possibly, there WILL be a lemon or two! You have been warned!

See you later everybody!
