A blinding light enveloped Squirtle's entire being.

The three Trainers all shut their eyes for the split second since the light had taken place.

Then came their astounded murmurs:

"Is Squirtle…?" May asked.

"Yes…," Robbie answered in an almost inaudible voice.

"Squirtle's"—Stephen paused, then continued—"evolving!"

(Note to readers: I'd always wondered what happened to May's Squirtle—it seemed that it was left unexplained; she left the Battle Frontierseason with a Squirtle, then when she returned in the Battle Dimension season, Squirtle had already evolved into a Wartortle. So, I just guessed how and where Squirtle evolved.)

After the light was gone, the three opened their eyes just in time to see, not a Squirtle, but a newly-evolved Wartortle!

"Squirtle—I mean, Wartortle! You evolved!" May squealed with excitement.

Wartortle grinned.

May looked away from her Pokémon just in time to see Hariyama about to close in on another attack on Wartortle.

"Not this time!" May said. "Wartortle, use Ice beam!"

Wartortle unleashed an icy zap straight from its mouth and managed to freeze Hariyama on the legs.

"Great!" Stephen hissed in excitement.

Immediately, May went on straight to her next. "Blaziken, use Peck!"

Using the power of its beak, Blaziken pecked on and on to Hariyama. And, since it happened to be a Flying type move, it affected Hariyama far more than any of the attacks earlier; he fell back.

May jumped up with joy, and saw Skitty get up as well, recovering from the early blow.

"Great—this is going out better! Now, Skitty"—she looked to see Medicham finally thaw out from the ice and quickly changed the direction of the path of her attack command—"use Doubleslap on Medicham!"

Right away, the Kitten Pokémon jumped toward Medicham and slapped its tail repetitively at Medicham.

"Blaziken, use Sky Uppercut on Medicham; Wartortle, use Rapid Spin on Hariyama!"

Pumped up and tense, Blaziken launched a massive uppercut on Hariyama while Wartortle withdrew itself into its shell and rammed toward Medicham.

Exhausted from the constant stream of blows, the two Fighting type Pokémon finally fainted.

"It's finally over," Robbie whispered.

"Yeah, thank goodness," Stephen agreed.

"Yay," May cheered.

After some short minutes of waiting in the ship's clinic, the three Trainers were there with their Pokémon.

"Now, Hariyama, Medicham was only being defensive—it's not his fault he mistook your trip for an attack," Stephen scolded to his Pokémon.

"And you, Medicham—you shouldn't be so quick to judge; Hariyama didn't mean it," Robbie said sternly to his Pokémon.

Hariyama and Medicham made mumbled noises of apology to their Trainers. Then they faced each other and made noises that clearly sounded like an apology to each other.

"Good, looks like that's all sorted out," May said in the relief that it was finally over.

"Thanks, May, for helping us out," Stephen said, grateful.

"No problem," May said, smiling. "After all, it was worth it—Squirtle managed to evolve!"

"Yeah, I guess it was worth it," Robbie agreed. "By the way, you're off to the Johto region, too since you're off in this ship?"

"Yep, I'm off to enter the Johto Pokémon Contests and enter the Grand Festival!"

"Well, good luck on your Johto adventures and your up and coming Pokémon Contests, May."

"Thanks!"

The ship blew out a horn that indicated that it was getting closer to the Johto region. May looked toward the forming figure on the sea, all of her Pokémon with lit-up grins that were just as vital as hers was.

"There's the Johto region, guys!"

All her Pokémon made noises of excitement.

"Johto, here we come!"

Finally, the ship stopped by Johto's port, and laid its anchor in the water.

And as soon as the ship opened its doors and put down the stairs, May, together with all her Pokémon, went out, anticipating their new adventure in a new region.

-The End-

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Seriously, people, stop wondering if this is the end of the story. I'm pretty much sure you can understand the "The End" written. What were you guys expecting? That I'd, what, narrate May's Johto experiences? The story is called "May's Journey to Johto" and NOT "May's Johto Journey."

Believe me, those are two very different things. -_-

It's called "May's Journey to Johto" because it talks about what May will do before and on her way to the Johto region. If I were gonna make a story about May on her new Johto journey, then I should've called it "May's Johto Journey" instead.

I hope that will make it clear to you guys.
