Me, Myself, And May
Chapter 2: Homecoming
Hoped you guys liked the first chapter! Winner of the OC contest is The Shiny Gengar so congrats to you!
P.S. I'm buying two goldfish and naming them Cosmo and Wanda. Then maybe I can own Pokemon.
On with the Story!
(o^-^o)
Sinnoh League
"Wait!"
"What do you mean by that Cynthia, you won the battle! That's Garchomp standing right there! Unless-"
"If your thinking what I think you are, correct. That Garchomp's not mine. Just wait for the dust to clear out."
Suspense was high in the stadium as everyone waited to see what was going on. Sure enough, as the dust cleared, it was not a Gabite on the ground, but another Garchomp.
"But Cynthia, how can you tell the difference?"
"Look at the fin on the one standing. See how it's cut in the center? That means the Garchomp standing has to be a male, and your's is a male right? Because mine certainly isn't!"
"That means..."
"Yes Ash, you're the new Champion!"
Just then the voice of the referee interrupted the conversation between the two. "In a shocking turn of events, it just so happens to be that the Garchomp down belongs to Cynthia! The Green Side is out of Pokemon, which means our winner is the challenger- Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!"
Cheers broke through the crowd, which could be heard even by Deoxys.
Ash jumped up in the air, along with all his other Pokemon. "I just won the Sinnoh League!"
"Charizard!"
"Feraligatr!"
"Pikachu!"
"Sceptile!"
"Glalie!"
"Garchomp!"
Back in the stands, Ash's friends were having a conversation of their own.
Paul smirked and said, "You never fail to amaze me Ketchum."
Dawn shot back, "Told you Paul, no need to worry!"
Paul sweat dropped and said, "Guess you were right. I-"
But Dawn was in a world of her own. "Told you so, told you so, nah-nah-,"
"Just shut up already!"
"Hmph kill-joy. Where's Brock?"
Paul scratched his head and simply said, "I'll let Croagunk answer that one."
Pallet Town
"Hey May, your boyfriend actually won!" That voice came from none other than Max
"For the 10th time, HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" By now, May's face was redder than a Tamato Berry.
"At least not yet. But by the time he's through with me, he'll be head over heals for you." Gary couldn't help but snicker.
"SHUTUP GARY! I WANNA DO IT MYSELF!"
"Not on my watch!" Gary then walked away, leaving May alone with Max.
"Hey Max, Blaziken's not done playing with you." The look on May's face would even scare a Gengar.
Max gulped and quickly said, "Hey look, it's Ash!" May turned around, and Max dashed away, faster than a Ninjask. "See you later Lover Girl!"
"MAX!"
Meanwhile, Professor Oak and Ash's Mom were having a conversation of their own.
"Delia, your boy really did it."
"I'm proud of him. I just hope he actually stays home this time."
"Knowing Ash, he'll be home for a day before heading off."
"I know Sam, I just miss him so much. I wonder if he remembers to change his you-know-whats."
"Well he is 15 now."
But the Professor didn't get a reply. Mrs. Ketchum than remembered the situation she would soon be in. "Food! I need food! See you later Sam!"
As Delia dashed off, Professor Oak couldn't help but think, "Dear Arceus, please help me!"
(o^-^o)
Awards Ceremeony
"Welcome! Welcome!" The booming voice of Mr. Goodshow broke through the cheers and excitement of everyone that stayed after the fight. "Today we have an amazing event. Out previously undefeated Champion, has been defeated today, by our Challenger, Ash Ketchum! Let's have a big cheer for him!'
"Hip, Hip-"
"Hooray!"
"Hip, Hip-"
"Hooray!"
"One more time! Hip, Hip-"
"HOOOORAY!"
"Now I would like to welcome Cynthia, along with the rest of our Elite Four to say some words."
"Thank you Mr. Goodshow. First I would like to say thank you all for coming to this battle. Secondly, this was the most exciting battle of my life. Even though, I lost, this will be a battle I will never forget. Ash is truly an amazing battler, and an even more amazing person. I couldn't thank him enough for all the times he put his life at risk for me and my family at the hands of Team Galactic! Now as I hand the mic off to Aaron, let's have one more cheer!"
"Thanks Cyndy!"
"I told you not to call me that!"
"I believe it's my turn to speak. When I first met Ash, the kid seemed like a total dweeb. Even my beautiful Bug-Type Pokemon didn't like him. But when I found out he knew Cynthia, I took a liking to the kid. Then he taught me to treat all my Pokemon with love and caring. That's what made my dear Beautifly come back to me! Then when I faced him, I knew I was in for the fight of my life! It was fun, and all my Bug-Pokemon showed their true colors! Now I'll hand the mic off to Bertha. See you later!"
"Thank you Aaron. The first thing I said to that adorable child a year ago was to be more observant. I tok down his Torterra with ease, but I could tell his skills increased greatly from my encounter with him. And like Aaron said, I was most impressed by his bond with all this Pokemon. When he came back to fight me again, I could tell he was ready this time. After a tough battle, his Torterra beat my Hippowdon, much to the contrary of what happened a while back. That boy has a great future ahead of him, and now it is my honor to hand the mic of to Flint!"
"That was a red-hot speech Bertha. A while back, my best bud Volkner had no energy in him to battle. Then I met Ash. While my Infernape took down his Pokemon easily, I saw the burning passion in him and knew he could ignite the spark back in Volkner. The battle between those two was hotter than my hair color! Then we met again back in this stadium, and he completely scorched me with his strength! Even Infernape was impressed! That kid will sure as nothing leave a burning path in his trail for as long as he lives. Now last but not least, it's Lucian's turn!"
"Thank you Flint. Like all my fellow companions, I too fought Ash a long time ago. Back then I beat him without the slightest degree of difficulty. I thought that he would be crushed by the loss, but if anything, his enthusiasm shot to new heights! I couldn't even read with his energy radiating. When he came back here, I could tell he was pumped and ready to battle. I thought my Bronzong could save me in that tough spot, but that Buizel of his proved too strong. Now, I believe it's time for Mr. Goodshow to present the Championship Trophy!"
"Let's have a big round of applause for all 5 of our Sinnoh League Members! Now, it is with my great honor and great pleasure to call forth our new Champion, Ash Ketchum!"
The crowd broke into great applause, but Ash didn't come.
"Ash? Ash?"
*Cricket*Cricket*
Just then, a little boy stumbled up to Mr. Goodshow.
"Ash left a while ago! He teleported out of here with three other people."
"That means-"
"Yup! These boring speech was for nothing!"
The whole stadium fell over anime style!
"It appears we have a slight misunderstanding. Ash isn't here, so you can all go home."
Groans rippled through the stadium, and disappointment was in the air.
"Poor author, he had to write all that for nothing!"
Lighting then struck down on Mr. Goodshow. "Never. Break. The. Fourth. Wall."
(o^-^o)
Back In Pallet Town
"Mom, I'm home!"
Professor Oak came to the door and greeted Ash. "Congratulations on your win Ash! But your mom went to get food for the banquet tonight! There's a dance in your honor!"
"Wow! That's awesome!"
Just then, Ash was tackled to the ground. "Welcome home Ash! Good job on winning the Sinnoh League!"
As Ash got up, his face was the color of Flint's afro. "Th-Thank's May. Uhm..can you get off of me now?"
It was May's turn to blush. "Sorry Ash!"
Unfortunately for the couple, Max noticed the scene. "Look like Lover Girl's at it already!"
"Shutup Max!"
Ash, dense as ever, was confused. "What do you mean Lover Girl?"
But before Max could make matters worse, Paul stepped up.
"Come on Ketchum, I still want the rematch."
"Alright Paul, let's do it!"
May was grateful for Paul and said, "Thanks for the save Paul."
"Hmmph. You owe me."
"What are you waiting for Paul! Let's go to the Pokemon Lab to fight."
"Gladly."
(o^-^o)
5 minutes later, everyone was at the Lab, including Delia who had just returned home.
*Crash*
As soon as Ash walked into the field, all of his Pokemon tackled him to welcome him home.
"Hey guys! I wanna play, but not now. I've got a battle to win!"
"Ketchum hurry up."
"I'm coming Paul!"
As Ash got ready, a crowd started forming of Pokemon and people alike.
Brock was the chosen referee. "This will be a one on one battle between Ash and Paul. When either Pokemon is down, the battle will be over. Trainers call your Pokemon!"
"Hold on a second Ashy-Boy." Everyone turned to look at Gary. "Isn't it my job to bring you down after a League? I wanna battle too!"
"Alright Gary, let's make it tag battle. You and Paul verse me and...hmm who do I pick?" Ash looked around at all his choices until he finally decided. "I know! I'll pick the one closest to my heart, so we'll be in sync."
As Ash pointed to May, her heart fluttered.
"Really Ash you mean-"
But Ash was pointing past May.
"Mom, you battle with me!"
May fell over anime style, while every one else sweat dropped.
"But Ash, I don't know how to battle."
"That's fine Mom. I still want you on my side though; to make up for all the times I left."
"That's sweet Ashy. Ok, I'll do it!"
As the 3 trainers and the mom took their places, Brock corrected the rules.
"This will be a two on two battle. Each trainer is allowed one Pokemon. When either side is out of Pokemon, the battle will be over. Trainers, send out your Pokemon!"
"Gliscor, standby for battle."
"Scizor, help me out!"
"Quilava, I choose you!"
"Mimey, let's do this!"
On Paul and Gary's side, there stood to insect like Pokemon. The first was a bat like creature, but it had a stinger resembling a scorpion. This purple Pokemon was known Gliscor. Next to it stood a red, metallic beetle like Pokemon. It spread out its wings and readied its claws for battle. This was Gary's Scizor.
On the Ketchum's side, there stood a blue hedgehog like creature. Its underbelly was creamed colored, and flames shot out of its back, representing spikes. Ash's Quilava was ready to battle. The Pokemon to the right of it was very humanoid. It was mainly pink, and it had blue shoes and two blue hairlike tufts sticking off his head. The clown like Pokemon was known as Mr. Mime.
"The first move goes to Gary and Paul. Begin!"
"Scizor use Bullet Punch on Quilava!"
"Gliscor, X-Scissor on Mr. Mime!"
Both Pokemon shot forward, claws glowing white. As both attacks were about to connect, the other two trainers reacted.
"Quilava, block with Counter Shield!"
"Mimey, Reflect!"
Both Pokemon had their defenses up. Pikachu started break dancing while shooting Flamethrower. Despite how fast Scizor was punching, speed alone was not good enough to break through. A couple feet away, a wall of light protected Mr. Mime from what would be a super effective attack.
"Time to take the offense! Quilava, use Flamethrower, then use Brick Break to knock Scizor into Gliscor!"
A stream of red hot flames formed from the hedgehog's mouth, then shot towards the red beetle. Then a rock shattering punch slammed into Scizor, which sent him soaring towards Gliscor.
"Our turn Mimey! Ice Punch!"
Gliscor, who was not expecting the super effective hit, went flying back into his companion. Both Pokemon lost their flight, but they weren't down for the count.
"Looks like you did do better Ashy-Boy. But that won't bring us down! Iron Defense, than Iron Head!"
Scizor took on a metallic luster, signifying his increase in defense. Then his head turned especially shiny, and he tried to head butt Quilava.
"Quilava! Use Quick Attack to dodge, than Brick Break !"
The powerful head butt almost collided with Quilava, but the Quick Attack gave him the boost he needed to get out of the way. Then the Brick Break collided with Scizor, but no damage was done.
"Scizor, while he's close, Night Slash!"
Scizor wings turned a devious black color, and they sliced Pikachu full power.
"Pikachu, No! Quick, use Inferno!"
"Mimey, use Psychic to boost the strength of his attack!"
"No you don't! Gliscor, X-Scissor!"
"Scizor, you attack to, U-Turn!"
In an instant, chaos broke through. Blue flames grew out of Quilava's back, then they shot towards Scizor at scorching temperatures, which Mr. Mime tried to boost, but was stopped short by a devastating cutting attack to the face. Luckily, the Inferno connected, but it barely grazed Scizor. He turned a yellowish green and tackled Pikachu, effectively knocking him out. But Gary forgot about the side-effects of U-Turn. Scizor went back into his Pokeball and an Umbreon appeared in his place.
Just then, Brock's voice interrupted the battle. "WAIT! Since Gary sent out another Pokemon, he is disqualified from the match. The remaining two Pokemon are Gliscor and Mr. Mime.
"Come on! That's no fair!"
"I did say one Pokemon per trainer right? Now shut up before Paul gets disqualified too."
This angered Paul, who replied in return, "You better do as he says Oak."
As Gary left the field fuming, he and Ash went to the sidelines to watch the remainder of the fight.
"Gliscor, time to end this! Guillotine!"
Gliscor's claws turned white, and he began to approach Mr. Mime.
"Mimey! We need luck for this! Metronome!"
Mr. Mime wiggled his finger, and started glowing white.
Ash realized this as a move no trainer should ever use,
"Thats...Self Destruct!"
Luckily, Brock realized what was going on.
"Marshtomp, help us with your Damp! Stop that explosion!"
Marshtomp made it out just in time to prevent what could've possibly destroyed Pallet Town.
When she realized what was going on, Delia said, "Sorry about that guys! Won't happen again!"
As everyone sweat dropped, she called her next attack. "Metronome, one more time!"
This time, and explosion was not about to happen. But an extraordinary sight did. A crystal formed in the air, and a giant beam of energy shot at Gliscor. At the same time, a deafening roar was heard.
All the spectators were in awe.
"That's-'
"Roar-"
"Of-"
"Time!" Ash finished.
Of course, Gliscor was knocked out.
"Both Pokemon of Gary and Paul are unable to battle! That means the winner of this battle are Ash and his Mom!"
Ash began to cheer, but it was lived short. His mom pulled him over and gave him a tux.
"What's this for?"
"Well for the dance of course!"
"Dance?"
"The town of Pallet decided to throw a party for you in your honor!"
"Now go change! And there's a present in your room for a special someone."
Ash went up to his room and smiled at the present.
"Thanks Mom."
(o^-^o)
Later that night, at the Dance
"Look at all this food!" The voice was made simultaneous by both Ash and May.
The gang sweatdropped.
Gary had a question. "How did you guys not go broke from these two?" He asked Max and Brock.
"Being a Gym Leader has it's benefits."
"Oh." As the teens dug into the food, Gary pulled Max aside.
"Max, by tonight, were gonna make Ash realize he loves May."
"Yuck. Love. How are we gonna do that?"
"Your the DJ right?"
Max nodded.
"Okay just play the song Don't Go Breaking My Heart. The rest will fall into place.
"Sure. Whatever."
The two went back to the table, only to see Ash and May having an eating contest.
Gary sweat dropped and thought, "Typical Ash."
"I ate more!"
"No I did!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
The fighting went on for a good 20 minutes, before Delia took the stage.
"Hello Pallet Town! You all know why you're hear, to welcome out town hero, Ash! Not only did he win the Sinnoh League, he's also the sweetest young man out there! I just hope he changes his you know whats!"
This ensured a laugh from the crowd, while Ash yelled, "MOM!"
"Just joking Ashy! Now, time for the main event, the Dance!"
Suddenly, the hit song, "PokeRap" came on!
Everyone took a shot at saying different lyrics, whole dancing and having the time of their lives.

As the song ended, the residents of Pallet started dancing to all the various themes of the hit show made about Pokemon themselves! Sooner or later, the party was coming to a close, but there was one special song left to play.
Max, the Dj, then said, "Time for our last song here tonight!"
The vibe and energy in the room was restless, and everyone grabbed a partner to dance.
Ash of course went up to May and stuck his hand out. "Can I have this dance?"
May giggled and replied, "Of course!"
As the song came on, Ash slid his arm around May, and she did the same.
"May, there's something I gotta say?"
"And that is?"
Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind
Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Honey when you knocked on my door
I gave you my key
"I don't really know how to say this but.."
"Yes?"
Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart
So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
"But I hope this explains it."
Ash put a necklace around May's neck, which ended in a Manaphy chain.
"Oh Ash, it's beautiful!'
"Open it."
May did, and inside was a picture of the two when they won the Terracotta contest. She was holding back tears of happiness, but Ash took this wrong.
And nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us babe
I think we can make it
So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights
He leaned in and kissed her. As they pulled away, Ash said, "Not so dense as you think I am huh?"
May smiled and said, "No not at all."
So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
As they kissed again, May couldn't help but think, "Told you so Gary. Told you so."
(o^-^o)
