Me, Myself, and May

Chapter 3: Travel Complications

Thanks for the positive reviews! This chapter might be a bit boring- it's gonna be the usual "arriving in a new region blah blah blah"- with a twist of course(:

Still don't own Pokemon. Frown:(

On with the story!

(o^-^o)

Ketchum Residence- Morning after the Dance

"Tor-Chicka-Chicka-Chick!"

The call of the chicken like Pokemon signified the gang of morning, and each member was already doing their own thing.

Brock and Delia were up bright and early, making breakfast. Dawn was doing her hair for the start of the journey. Ash of course, was still asleep. Max had gone back to Hoenn to start his own journey. And out in the back, Paul was deciding who to take with him to Unova. Gary, was deciding if he wanted to stay home, or head off to Unova with Ash. After some mental deliberation, he said to no one in particular, "I'm going! For her..."

"What was that Gary?" The voice belonged to Dawn.

"Nothing. Just talking to yourself."

"Oh that's cool."

"Yeah." As Dawn walked away, Gary face palmed himself. "Smooth Gary, smooth."

Meanwhile, May hadn't slept at all last night.

"Just think Glaceon, I get to travel with Ash again!"

"Glace!"

"And you'll get to hangout with a certain someone too."

Glaceon's face turned so red, she could've passed for a Flareon.

"Sorry Glaceon. But he likes you too! I just know it!"

"Breakfast is ready!"

Brock's voice rang through the house, and everyone was there. Even Ash.

"Morning May." He walked up behind May and hugged her.

She giggled and said back, "I thought you were sleeping."

"Two words. Break Fast."

Everyone took their spots and filled their plates with food of all kinds. There were Belgian Waffles, pancakes, eggs, ham, bacon, muffins- anything you could think of.

"Thanks Mom. Food. Tastes. Gulp. Great." As Ash spoke between gulps, food flew from his mouth.

"Thanks Ashy. But you really shouldn't talk with your mouth full. You do have a girlfriend now.

"I. Don't. Gulp. Mind Mrs. Ketchum." The table sweat dropped and chuckled at her remark.

5 Minutes of awkward silence later, Ash began to talk.

"May and Dawn, I know you too are coming with me. Paul too. How bout you Gary?"

"I'm coming too!"

"Wow, really? But what happened to becoming a Pokemon researcher?"

"I can do that in Unova. And I can't let you get better than me, right Ashy-boy?"

"I already am."

"If I'm not mistaken, Scizor took down Quilava."

"That was luck. But I'm still better."

Gary took a stand, and Ash followed suit.

"Am not!"

"Am to!"

"Am not!"

"Am to!"

"AM NOT!"

"AM TOO!"

"WILL BOTH OF YOU SHUT IT!" The two boys wouldn't dare stand up to the older woman's wrath.

"Now that that's over, what Pokemon will you all be taking with you."

"Pikachu!"

"I'm bringing Blaziken, Wartotle, and Glaceon."

"Pachirisu, Piplup, and Togekiss for me."

"Blastoise, Arcanine, and Electrivire."

"Torterra, Magmortar, and Drapion."

"And you Brock."

"I won't come this time. My family needs me."

Ash showed the most worry. "But.. who will cook now?"

The crowd fell over, and once more when May said, "Ramen everyday!"

(o^-^o)

One Hour Later, at the Airport

"Bye Mom! I'll be sure to call as soon as we get there."

"That's great Honey. Oh, and May?"

"Yes?"

"Make sure he changes his-"

"MOM ENOUGH WITH THAT!" He slammed the phone down before May could answer.

"The Next flight for Unova will be departing in 20 minutes."

Paul, being the most serious of the group, was the first to take action.

"Let's go. We can't miss the flight."

"No need to worry Paul! We'll make it in time."

Suddenly, Dawn got an unwanted response to her sentence.

Prepare for trouble!

Make it double!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all peoples within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!

Surrender now, or prepare to fight!

Meowth! That's right

"Team Rocket, what are you doing here?"

"Twerp, we want the Pikachu!" Jessie and James then sent out Yamnega and Carnivine.

"Pikachu, I choose you!"

"Blaziken, take the stage!"

"Torterra, stand by for battle!"

"Blastosie, help me out!"

"Togekiss, spotlight!"

The 5 Pokemon appeared in front of the trainers, eager to fight.

"Volt Tackle!"

"Over Heat!"

"Hydro Pump!"

"Solar Beam!"

"Sky Attack!'

In a blur, the 5 Pokemon released their combination attack. Pikachu jumped on top of Togekiss while she was charging her Sky Attack, and the two became enveloped in a blinding yellow and blue aura. Meanwhile, the three starter Pokemon shot out a green beam of energy, a red-hot flame, and a roaring blast of water which combined into a swirling beam of power. Pikachu and Togekiss rushed into the light, and the power overwhelmed the insect and the fly-trapper. Through the explosion, the finishing command could be heard.

"Water Pulse!"

"Air Cutter!"

"Energy Ball!"

"Blast Burn!"

The four spheres of energy formed at the Pokemon's mouths, then shot toward the center where they combined into a beautiful aurora-like ball.

"Pikachu! Send it flying with Iron Tail!"

The silver tail slammed into the ball, and it shot forward at lightning speed.

"Team Rocket's blasting off again!"

That was the last call for the flight to Unova. The next plane will be leaving in two days.

"No! We missed the flight." Ash stomped his foot down in anger, and May tried to calm him down.

"Ash, don't be angry! We just have to leave a little later, that's all."

"It's not that, it's just Team Rocket always messes everything up. Dear Arceus, why!"

"Gengar, teleport!"

A light surrounded the five trainers, and when they reopened their eyes, they found that they were no longer in Kanto. Instead, they at the Nuvema Town Pokemon Lab.

Gary was the first to notice where he was. "This means we must be in-"

But he was cut short buy a piercing scream from May. "Where's Ash!"

(o^-^o)

Ash and Pikachu opened their eyes, and saw that they were no longer in the airport either. In fact, all they saw was...orange.

"Pikachu, where are we?"

"Let me answer that for you, Sinnoh Chamipon." A shady figure jumped down and landed in front of the duo.

"Who are you!"

"Patience, Ash."

"Tell me now!"

"Find then. But first you must best me in a Pokemon battle. Minun, battle formation!"

Ash turned his hat back and grinned. "No one can beat me! Pikachu, I choose you!"

"Pika!"

"Now use Iron Tail!" Pikachu's tail started to glow that familiar silver color, and it slammed into Minun. "Yes direct hit!"

"Not so fast. Now, Copy Cat, followed by fake tears!" Minun's own tail slammed into Piakchu, and he went flying. As he got up, he saw Minun crying, and he couldn't help but smile.

"But how did that hap-"

Ash didn't get to finish his sentence.

"Now, Swift!" The stars collided with Pikachu, and sent him flying back into Ash's arms.

"Pikachu, no! We can't keep our guard down, use a Volt Tackle, charged with Thunderbolt, and Quick Attack! Run in circles!"

Pikachu flashed with yellow energy, and then the aura radiated with the power of 7 million volts. He then started racing around the area, creating rings around the arena.

"Now, Quick Attack behind Minun, and use Iron Tail to smash him into the rings."

"Thunder Wave!"

Minun shot out a weak blue jolt at Pikachu, but it didn't stop him. The iron-hard tail smashed into the rabbit like Pokemon, and it went flying into the rings of electricity.

In the ensuring explosion, Minun flew up in the air, but it wasn't down for the count.

"Wild Charge! Use the gravity to your advantage!"

Minun became surrounded with blue sparks, and he shot down to Earth like a speeding bullet.

"Pikachu, dodge that!"

Pikachu tried to move, but he was felling the effects of the Thunder Wave.

"No! In that case, use Volt Tackle!"

Pikachu jumped into the air, and he became charged with yellow electricity. The two attacks collided, and they met with the sound of the thunder clap.

Ash took this to his advantage. "Thunder, full power! Be gone with this thunderclap!"

A giant bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and dropped on Minun, knocking it out.

"We did it Pikachu!"

"Impressive, Ash Ketchum. We shall meet again."

"Wait who-" Ash was cut short by the same flash of light, and he was back in the airport again.

"What just happened.."

(o^-^o)

Unova

"Dang it Ash, pick up your XTransceiver!" Dawn, who usually told people no need to worry, was now one of the most worried.

"Ketchum, where are you!" Paul was now frustrated that he didn't bring Honchcrow with him.

"Ashy-Boy, come out!" Gary tried looking for his cousin with no avail.

May however, was in tears. She refused to believe Ash was missing. "It can't be...Ash this isn't funny! Please come back!"

"Don't worry May, we'll find him." Gary reassured.

Just then, a middle aged woman and 2 trainers came out.

The first to talk was the older woman. She had light brown hair, and sparkling green eyes.

"My name is Professor Juniper. What are you 4 doing out here?"

Paul was the one who had the ability to speak. "We're looking for our friend, Ash Ketchum. We got teleported here, but he didn't appear with us."

He got a reply from a boy wearing an orange jacker. He had dirty blonde hair and cool grey eyes. "You mean Ash, as in the Champion of Sinnoh?"

"The one and only."

The next girl reminded the teens of Barry. She had blonde hair, and randomly blurted out, "Where is he!"

Juniper sweat dropped and replied, "If they knew they wouldn't be out here screaming."

"Oh.."

"All of you come inside. I have an idea how to find him."

May was ecstatic. "Really? How!"

"Just follow me. But I need to make a phone call first."

She then mumbled a few words, which the gang could barely make out, but sounded like "Mist, Ralph, and Sky."

"Great, thanks." She turned back to the teenagers. "Come with me."

(o^-^o)

Kanto

"No! Why isn't my XTransceiver working!" His train of thought was interrupted by a girl with magenta hair.

"Ash Ketchum?"

"That's me."

"Fantastic. Follow me."

"But...who are you?"

"I'll explain in the plane. Come on."

"Plane...that means!"

"Yes. I'm taking you to Unova."

"Alright!"

"Pika!"

(o^-^o)

In the Air

After a long silence, Ash spoke.

"So who are you?"

"My name is Skyla. I got a call from Professor Juniper, saying your friends are looking for you."

"My friends! Are they okay?"

"They're doing fine. The question is, what happened to you?"

Ash started to describe his encounter with the mysterious boy, but was cut short by a fire strike.

"What was that!" They looked outside the window, and saw swirling white clouds. But in the midst, they saw a beautiful, white dragon-like Pokemon.

Skyla knew who it was. "Reshi-"

Ash's Pokedex cut her short.

"Reshiram, the Vast White Pokemon. This Pokémon appears in legends. It sends flames into the air from its tail, burning up everything around it. When Reshiram's tail flares, the heat energy moves the atmosphere and changes the world's weather."

"That..that's amazing."

Skyla was confused by it though. "But..why would it just attack us like that?"

She was answered by a giant thunderbolt. On the other side of the window, black clouds covered another Pokemon.

"Zekrom, the Deep Black Pokemon. This Pokémon appears in legends. In its tail, it has a giant generator that creates electricity. Concealing itself in lightning clouds, it flies throughout the Unova region. It creates electricity in its tail.

"Ash, they're angry!"

"I can tell, but why!"

"Galactic Bomb!"

Before they knew it, they plane was sent crashing into the water. It spiraled like a football and landed in the vast ocean beneath it.

Luckily, the two trainers were Ok. Even more luckier, they landed in the shore of Nuvema Town.

"Ash!" May tackled Ash into a huge bearhug. "Don't you ever scare me like that again!" She started crying into Ash's chest, and he comforted her.

"I'm Ok. Don't worry."

"Professor Juniper and the rest of the gang came running out. "What happened! Skyla, are you Ok!"

"I'm fine Professor. But, it was the strangest thing. We saw Reshiram and Zekrom, they we were sent crashing into the ocean."

"What! Ok, come inside. We need to talk."

Inside, they realized the boy and girl were Trip and Bianca respectively, and Skyla was the Gym Leader of Mistralton City. The two described everything that happened since the teleportation, until they were interrupted by a certain mouse.

(No, I did not forget Pikachu.)

"Pikaaaa!" Pikachu did not look normal. He had a white wing on one side, and a black wing on the other. Instead of ears, he had two generators on his head, one flashing red, the other flashing blue.

"What happened buddy!"

The door opened. "I think I can explain."

"Dad!"

Cedric, Professor Juniper's father, started to talk. "It seems Pikachu has been infused with the power of the two dragons. I don't know how it happened, but that does not matter. Yes, he may be powerful, but unstable too. We have to reverse it, now!"

"But, how?" The crew was confused.

"We use the lab machinery here. But to do it I need two things. One, can be easily obtained. The other...not so much."

Ash yelled at the top of his lungs. "HOW! What do we need!"

"The essence of Kyurem, and...Cola."

May spoke up. "So the Cola's the hard part right?"

"Actully, yes. I have a glacier made by Kyurem right here."

"And what about the Cola?" Gary asked.

"It is vital for the procedure."

Trip spoke up. "I have one right here! But you'll have to battle me for it. How about a tag battle versus Bianca, the Professor, and I? But you'll have to fight with that weak looking girl right there, and purple hair."

"You'll regret calling her weak! But first, let me get a Pokemon."

5 Minutes Later

(o^-^o)

Cedric was the referee. "This will be a triple battle, no substitutions! The challengers will get the first pick, with Ash getting the first attack!"

Trip, Bianca, and Juniper sent out their Pokemon.

"Servine!"

"Emboar!"

"Oshawatt!"

It was now Ash, Paul, and May's turn.

"Squirtle!"

"Blaziken!"

"Torterra!"

It was a starter battle. On one side, there stood a pig, snake, and otter. 2 turtles and a chicken stood on the other side.

"Hydro Pump on Emboar!" Squirtle retracted into shell and water spiraled out of him.

"Torterra! Use Frenzy Plant to shoot him forward!" Vines grabbed Squirtle, and whipped him in the air in circles before tossing him at maximum velocity.

"Emboar, catch him with Hammer Arm and toss him back into Torterra!" Unbelievably, the Pokemon caught him and he shot back faster than a Ninjask at the immobile tortoise.

"Blaziken, use Blaze Kick to send him flying back to Servine!"

In a blur, the chicken dashed towards Torterra, leg on fire. He then shot off a blistering round house kick to to deflect him back to the snake like Pokemon.

"Quick, use Iron Tail!" The tail of the snake slammed the poor turtle back into Torterra.

"Ketchum, do you trust me!"

"For sure!"

"Torterra, eat Squirtle!"

Ash fell over and said, "What are you doing?"

Paul smirked, and said, "Trust me."

Meanwhile, the two fire starters were having a duel of their own.

"High Jump Kick!" Blaziken jumped high in the air and shot like a meteor into Emboar. He went flying back, but wasn't down for the count.

"Flare Blitz!"

"Brave Bird!"

One Pokemon was glowing red, the other blue. When they collided and the dust cleared out, the pig was glowing red.

Bianca smiled, "Perfect. Fire Blast!"

A scorching star of fire shot a Blaziken, further boosted by Blaze. It hit dead on, but now Blaziken was glowing the same fiery aura.

"Mega Blaze Kick!"

"Burning Arm Thrust!"

The two warriors locked into combat and they kicked and punched for what seemed like hours.

"Now Torterra, Energy Ball!"

Squirtle shot out of Torterra's mouth, and he was covered in green flames, while still shooting water. The lightning fast attack collided head on with Oshawatt, and both were soon glowing blue.

The trainer and Professor said in unison, "Torrent!"

At the same time, Servine was slicing Torterra with razor sharp Leaf Blades.

"Torterra, use Leaf Storm!"

Leaves surrounded the two grass Pokemon, and Servine was shot back. But like the other 4, their abilities have both been activated.

"Time to end this! Servine, Solar Beam!"

"Fire Blast!"

"Hydro Pump! Triple Finish!"

The 3 Pokemon lined up and shot their respective elemental attacks. The beam of energy shot at the three trainers, but they weren't gonna do down without a fight.

"Wood Hammer!"

"Flare Blitz!"

"Aqua Jet!"

The two fully evolved started charged around the beam and collided into the Unova starters, sending them flying towards the sky.

Squirtle shot straight into the beam, and use the power of it to his advantage. Once again, he had the power of the three elements, and he pierced the three Pokemon with unbelievable power. The 4 Pokemon fell out of the air and only one was left.

"Wartotle!"

"Squirtle! You evolved."

Just then something hit Ash in the face. "Tale the Cola Champion." Trip shrugged and left.

"Wait Trip! Thanks for the battle!" Bianca ran off after Trip.

"Hmph, sore loser." Paul was mad.

"Oh please Paul. You used to be like that," May teased.

Cedric then took the Cola and drank it.

"That's refreshing! On with the operation!" Everybody fell over, and Ash was angry.

"YOU DRANK IT?"

"Told you it was vital. I was parched!"

The gang sweat dropped, but were met with an earthquake.

"PIKA CHU!"

Pikachu had grown giant sized, and was now flying straight towards the ocean.

Cedric was scared, and said, "We have to stop it!"

Suddenly, 7 Birds appeared in front of everyone.

"Staraptor!"

"Braviary!"

"Honchcrow!"

"Togekiss!"

"Tranquill!"

"Fearow!"

"Swellow!"

Ash paired with Staraptor, Cedric with Braviary, Paul with Honchcrow, Dawn with Togekiss, Professor Juniper with Tranquill, Gary with Fearow, and May with Swellow.

"Off to Narnia!" Ash exclaimed.

Everybody fell off their birds and as they climbed back on, Ash said, "Sorry! Always wanted to say that!"

The birds took off to the sky, and they flew at the giant mouse in the sky.

(o^-^o)

When they reached Pikachu, it was not a pretty sight. He was white and black, had wings huger than himself, and was contorted into an awkward shape.

"Pika!" Flames and bolts shot off in every direction, barely missing the group of 7.

Ash immediately yelled at Cedric, "How can we stop it?"

He tossed the empty Cola can at Ash, then gave him a piece of ice.

"You need to put the ice berg in his mouth!"

"What's the can for!"

"Distract him!"

"Ok! Cover for me guys!"

"Pikachu, I need you to listen to me!" Ash was slowly inching towards Pikachu.

"Please, snap out of it! Remember all the times we had together! When we first met, and you kept shocking me! But we pulled through, and defeated that flock of Spearow! When we defeated Brock! Remember when you almost left? Pikachu, please!"

Pikachu was still attacking, but not as much as before!

"Pikachu, all the battles we went through together. All the conferences! When we won the Battle Frontier! Beating the Orange Islands! Please fight it!"

Ash was now only a foot away from Pikachu.

"Pikachu...I love you!"

Finally, the ice berg was popped into his mouth. The changes were immediate, and he morphed back into the adorable mouse he used to be. But...he couldn't fly. He dive bombed towards the water, and Ash followed suit. He jumped off Staraptor and caught Pikachu, and landed in the water.

"Pikachu, you're back!"

"Pika!"

(o^-^o)

Whew! That wasn't as boring as I thought it would be! Sorry about the slow update, school has been really busy lately...lots of review and work! Luckily, my JV season with Lax will be ending soon, and I'll have more time to write. Sorry if it was short, but Review and Enjoy!

Until next time~ Let it be
