A couple of more howls wandered before it went completely silent. Not a sound was heard. No Pokemon chatting, no wind rustling the leaves of trees, not even the footsteps of the coming Mightyena.
"...Ash... Don't you think it's a little too... quiet...?" May gradually hid her face under her Torchics feathers.
"yea... " ash looked down towards May to see if she was all right. To his surprise she was. Out in the distance ash heard a little crack. "May over there..." he moved his finger in the direction of the noise that was just heard and then moved it up to his lips. That movement indicated May to keep quiet, which she did.
A few trees in front of them she managed to catch the movement of a big bush. 'bushes can't move by themselves so they must be over there.' She was correct.
Milliseconds later the pack of about 10 Mightyena jumped out of the bush. 'I've got to keep quiet' she moved her hand over to her mouth to keep herself silent.
The Mightyena worked together to try and find the evil trainers that destroyed their home. Half of the Mightyena put their snouts to the ground and tried to sniff out the two friends while the others used their keen eye sight to see if they could spot them. The ones who were using their noses approached the tree they were in and started growling violently. They put themselves into what looked like an attacking position and started gathering up their strength.
'It looks as if they are about to use take down on the tree!' Ash looked at the black and grey Pokemon that resembled K-9s. ' I've got to do something before they knock us out of it! ' He had to think of a way to get them away from their "hide-out". ' oh I got it!' There was a chesto berry the right next to May.
"psst! May! "Ash whispered loud enough for his friend to hear. " Quick, grab that chesto berry, and throw it to the east as far away as you can!"
" um...ok I'll try!" May set Torchic on her far left so she could have enough space to fling it. She stood up and lost her balance a bit. The berry was right in front of her. All she had to do was reach. 'Come on May you can do it!' She grabbed onto the trunk so she would fall off of the tree. 'A little...more...' the tips of her fingers grazed the blue colored berry. 'Come on!' She reached some more, almost falling off of the tree, and finally grasped the berry. "Yes!"
"Great job May! Now throw it before they take down this tree! "The huge plant shuddered as it received the impact of the attack. May threw the berry and made it fly in the air. The Mightyena had stooped attacking because the chesto berry had caught the eyes of them. They chased after it and disappeared into the forest. You could hear the growls, howls, and yelps of the Mightyena fighting over the fruit.
"Yeah we did it!" May grabbed a hold of her Torchic and ash's Pikachu and gave them a big bear hug.
"PIKA-PI!" Pikachu smiled and licked her face.
"TORCHIC!" it flapped its wings with joy.
May saw some more chesto berries being thrown in the same direction to the one she threw. She knew that it was probably ash's doing and looked to where he was standing. "Ash what are you doing?"
"Well I don't think just One chesto berry will keep them away from us. " it seemed as if he had taking every berry from that one tree. He had about 5 chesto berries left in his hands. "Almost done... and... there!" A smile ran across his face. " I'm pretty sure that those berries will keep the Mightyena out of our hands!"
"Yeah I agree! We should get out of the tree now and start looking for dry wood for the camp fire." Before climbing down she took out a little red, black, and white ball. "Torchic, return." He chick pokemon cried its name out before glowing and disappearing into its pokeball. As she slowly made her way down the tree, she hopped she wouldn't slip on a branch and fall off. "Ok I'm off the tree now; you can start climbing down Ash!" She said this with her hands around her mouth to project her voice.
"Ok May I'll be down in a minute!" His statement was correct. He tripped the first time he set his right foot on the thick branch that was under him. His reaction to sudden slip up was to grab onto a branch. But he failed to do so due to the slickness of his black gloves. That send him tumbling down. It felt like millions of needles were poking his face and arms when he made contact with the thin yet sharp branches as gravity pulled him down. It left scratches all around his body but he could bare the pain. "OUCH! May move!" Ash shouted at his friend who was removing some leaves from her coffee brown hair.
"huh? Wha-" She turned her head up in time to only see her partner's upper torso. "EEKK!"
He was now on top of May and inches from her face.
"Thanks for braking my fall." a smile spread on his face.
"Uh...um..." Blood started rushing to her cheeks and making her feel all warm inside. She hoped ash hadn't see her blushing , but determined by how far away they were from one another it was probably really noticeable." yeah...um...no problem A-Ash."
"Huh... your face is..red? " He moved his hands towards her cheeks and rubbed them gently and softly. "Weird...you don't have a fever..." after checking her cheeks he adjusted her bandana to where his palm could cover her whole forehead. Confusion filled the boy for he did not know what was going on.
"y-yeah I'm fine.." She wiggled to break free of the awkward position they were in; she succeeded. As she smoothed out her clothes with her left hand, her right arm reached out to Ash.
"Thanks M- "The young pokemon trainer reached out to grab her hand but winced as he stood up. Pain shot up his leg right leg, making him fall down and wince again, this time louder than before. Pikachu had heard his best friend and stopped chewing on the chesto berry and climbed down. Ash grabbed his ankle to try and stop the pain but he regretted what he had done for the pain had grown. "May, I think I sprained my ankle…" He pulled himself to the trunk of the tree to check his foot. Pikachu walked over to him and tugged on his jacket. "Pika-Pi…?" The yellow mouse's eyes looked at Ash's face with worry. "Yah Pikachu I'll be fine, it's just a little injury that's all." Ash reassured him with a smile.
May sat down, also with a worried look on her face, right next to her injured friend's pokemon. "Here let me help." She folded his pants up to his knee so it would be easier to remove his shoes. "I need to take off your sneaker because sooner or later your foot will swell. " His shoe laces were untied and loosened a bit. As she slowly slipped off his shoe and sock he slightly screamed. The girl murmured to herself as she looked through her fanny pack. "Well I guess you're gonna have to walk like that." She zipped up her pack and stood up with her hands on her hips and a smile on her face. Her hand yet again reached out to aid her friend who happily grabbed it and appreciated the help. "ok….slowly now…" Ash rose up and rested his right arm on Mays shoulder; she did the same. " Let's go back to camp and get you all fixed, k." Pikachu then jumped on his buddy's head.
"No, we can't." He let go of May, stood up on his own and faced her. He was wobbling but at least he could stand.
"ASH KETCHUM WE NEED TO GET YOU FIXED NOW!" She slapped Ash's shoulder, almost making him topple over, and made a fist.
Ash regained his balance and spoke. "We have to get wood for the fire or we will freeze at night."
" Yah but," She looked down at Ash's wounded ankle, " your ankle, it's all messed up….but I guess you're right." Her eyes moved from his ankle to his hand. She then grabbed a hold of it and put it where it was before. A gentle breeze came along and rubbed up against her face and made her hair dance in the air. "Come on lets go Mr. Injured."
