Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon

"Hmm, was that really an old memory? Oh well, I'll ask May later," I said laying back down on my bed. I look out the window seeing the soft glow of the moonlight through my window. As tried to get back to sleep, I heard a knock at the door. Not wanting to wake up Mom I quietly walked through the darkness the the front door. I opened the door to see that it was Gary. "Sup Ash. Sorry that I woke you up but it's important."

"No its not a problem I was awake anyways. So what's the problem?"

"Well you see there's this date I have with this one girl..." I stopped him right there since I knew what he was going to ask me. "Woa, woa,woa. No this again. No not after what happened with that cheerleader you dated. Misty was about to kill the heck out of me when she saw that it turned into a double date."

"Come on it wasn't that bad you had to admit it went pretty good untill your girlfriend showed up," said Gary smilling at the old high school memories. "Okay, okay, it did go pretty well that I admit but that was because you planed it. And you never told me so I was the dead fish that was bait for that other cheerleader that she brought. But, I am NOT going to do that again,"I closing the door behind me."Come on what will be the worst Misty could do to you? Break up with you? Ha ha ha, trust me Ash. I known you for a 10 years now and Misty longer she wouldn't do such a thing and if she did catch you I'll take full blame this time."

"Here's the thing Gary. Misty broke up with me earlier today," I told him as I sat down on a rocking chair. "What! I mean that's more reason for you to come with me." I stood up and looked away from him. "I'm not sure if I'm ready yet Gary. I'm just not sure. I think it's a bit early for me to get back into the dating game." He put a hand o my shoulder. "I understand, I'll find someone else to go with me then. Haven't seen Tracey in a while I'll go visit him tommorow morning. If you change your mind you got my number. Smell ya later Ash," he said as he got off the porch and into his car. As he drove away I stared to think about everything that had happened today... Well yesterday. Everything from the kiss to the break up. I sat back down on the chair and looked up at the sky. I almost fell asleep right there but a small stray puppy appeared in the middle of the street. It seemed lost and alone. I stared at it for a bit and heard a car in the distance. I got up and ran up to grab the puppy. It got scared and tried to run but I got a hold of it in time. The car passed by us rather quickly.

I brought it into the house and gave it something to eat. It ate like it was its last meal. "Slow that there boy there's plenty for seconds." It finished, yawned, and curled up into a small ball falling asleep. I picked it up not knowing if it was a boy or girl yet. I carried him or her to my room and put him or her on top of a few spare blankets that I found. Sitting next to it I got a better look. It appeared to be a golden retriever, its golden fur durty from being on the streets but glistering in the moonlight from my rooms window. "You and me are alot alike. We both have our life ahead of us but don't know what to do with them. Sigh, I guess that how life is..." I started to dooze off I desided to go to bed.

The next morning I woke up to my mom laughing. I went down stairs to see what was so funny and what I saw was a bit of akward scene for me. The puppy was trying help out with breakfast but ended up with a cloud of flower all over her face. "Oh, Ash where did you find this beautiful girl," she asked me picking her up. "I found her out side the house last night she was lost. So I decided to bring her inside for the night and she's a girl?"

"Well ya she... never mind you don't want to know about this stuff. Anyways can you give her a bath I'm afraid she might have fleas." She handed her to me and started to work on breakfast. "Okay but one question."

"Ya, what is it."

"Can we keep her?"

"Ash I think your old enough for that descision."I nodded and took her to the bathroom. "Alright girl it time for a bath." She stared at me with her head turned. "Don't worry it's going to feel a bit weird but once we're done your going to feel like a new puppy." I said putting her in the tub. She barked as she felt the water touch her body. I grabbed a cup from the kitchen to rinse her with water. She turned around and tried to bite the cup. She stopped after a couple more tries. I grabbed a bottle of shampoo and started to clean her fur which she found soothing. As I took her out to try her she shook the water off her body and proceded to leave the bathroom. I stopped her and dried the rest of her with my towl makeing her fur poof up a bit. I grabbed a brush from the bathroom cabinet and brushed her fur. She liked that and started to lick my face. "That tickles! Tell you what how about I take you to the pet store and get you a leash. To take you around Viridian but first we have to go to the pound to get you apdopted. How does that sound?"

She barked with exitment and ran to the front door. After I got ready we got in my car and headed to the Pallet town pound. Along the way I spotted my slowly walking towards the city. I decided to pull up. "Where you going May," I asked her as I rolled down my window. "No where, just talking a walk. Is that a puppy in the back?"

"Ya I found her yesterday and decided to keep her."

"Oh, my gosh it so cute! What's it's name?"

"She doesn't have one yet still thinking about that."

"So where you going with her?"

"The pound to apdopt her. Want to come?"

"Sure," she said after a bit. She sat in the seat next to me with my future dog in her lap. We were completly silent untill we got there when I broke the silence. "May what are you doing here in Kanto in the first place? I know it's a dumb question but I was just courious."

"Me and Dawn had a big meeting in Viridian and my boss gave us the week off. I'll be leaving Sunday."

"Oh," I said with a bit of sadness in my voice. Knowing it's Tuesday and Sunday will come by fast. "Oh yeah, May I been meaning to ask you. Did we ever go into a candy shop in the past. With someone named Orlando running the shop?"

"Hmmm, now that you mention it we did. It was when we first started dating. Wow, it was a really long time ago. Did you remember that or something?"

"Ya last night."

"Yes may I help you?" The lady in the front said looking up from the computer next to her. I didn't even notice us going into the building. "Huh? Oh, I would like to apdopt this puppy here. I found her out on the street and decided to take her in with me."

"Alright then all then here's some papers for you and bringing them back to me along with the money and you'll be set."

"How much will it be?"

"$15, it will be used for the other animals."

"Oh, okay then," I said sitting next to May. She was sitting with a kid with a Pikachu plush toy and a gameboy. As I was filling out the paper work I couldn't help but jet into May's conversation with the little boy.

"So he is your boyfriend," he said innocently. "For the last time kid, he is not my boyfriend! He's just a old friend that I happens to be a boy. Any thing wrong with that?"

"No, but I see how you look at him. Die already!"

"What are you talking about you had your eyes on that game this entire time."

"Yes that may be true but I know how to multitask really well. I saw that you were making those googling eyes at stop your puppy before she tears the head off my Pikachu," he said pointing at my puppy who was licking the Pickachu's head. "Huh? Oh, sure but that is not true," she said seperating her from the plush toy.

I sat there looking at the only box that wasn't filled in left. Her name think of a name. I look at her she was trying to get out of May's lap to get to the Pickachu toy. I looked at the paper and back at the puppy who broke free and quickly snatched the toy from the boy again. That'sit! I quickly wrote it down whent up to the front desk. I handed the paper work and the money to the lady at the front desk. She typed in a few things and said, "Alright your all set. Have a nice day with your new puppy."

"May, Pickachu, come on lets go," I said with a large smile on my face. They both looked at me . "What do I have something on my face?" Pikachu walked over to me and barked at the boy. "Oh, nothing. Who's Pikachu?"

"My new dog that who."

"Oh." She grabbed her things and headed towards the door. The boy turned off his gameboy walk wolked towards me. "She's a keeper Ash. I hope the best for you two." I blinked. He disapeared, with the pikachu doll left where he was standing. "That was strange right Pikachu?" She looked at me like as if I was crazy. I picked up the doll and head out the building. I got in the car. Pickachu hopped in the back seat. "Ash can you drop me off at my hotel. Dawn called she needs me to go shopping with her."

"Sure I was going to Virdian anyways." I turned on the car and drove dowards the city. "You know that kid back at the pound gives me the creeps" May taking the toy from Pikachu. "What do you mean?" My voice a bit shaky remembering the boy. "I don't know but something about him gives me the creeps. And his eyes, I don't know they just seem... dead." The word echoed in my head. Dead. "I'm sure it was nothing. Probably about what you guys were talking about."

"Wait, your heard that!" Her face getting redder than a tomato. "Not much, but you did let him get to you head a bit."

"No I didn't! He's just crazy little kid that doesn't know what he's talking about!" She crossed her arm and looked away. "I don't know he seemed pretty smart to me." She didn't answer. I sighed and continued to drive.

On my way back I saw Misty putting bags in a car. I didn't bother to stop. I know she would still be mad at me and I didn't want an episode to happen. It was around 16:30 when I got back to my mom's. "Mom I'm home."

"Oh, Ash you should go out and have some fun."

"Huh?" She turned on the TV and the Blu-ray player I got her for her birthday. "Tonight is girls night out and we're going to watch a few romance movies here." I thought about it. Stay here and watch movies I don't under stand or go out? "I'll go out but who's going to take care of Pikachu?"

"Pikachu?"

"My new puppy." She gave a sielent "Oh". "Don't worry she can hang out with us. She is a girl right?"

"Ya,but..." She cut me off pushing me towards the stairs. "Then go make a few calls and see what you can do." She let me go and went towards the kitchen with Pikachu. "Fine." I went up to my room and called Gary. After three rings he picked up. "Hello?"

"Hey Gary. Is it to late to accept that offer?"

"No, actually I was going to call you to see if you changed your mind. You see Tracy turned me down because he said that he was going to help a friend that hit a rough patch."

"Oh, well were are we going anyways?"

"That resturant that you wanted to go since you got here."

"The one by the mall and music store?"

"Ya that one."

"Who are the girls we're going with by the way?"

"Are we curious now? Ha ha, we're going with to ladies named Dawn and May."

"What!"

"Ya do you know them?'

"Know them I... never mind I'll meet you at the restraunt in an hour." I hung up before he could answer back. "Oh, snap this is going to be a long night," I said laying on my bed.
