Chapter 10

"So this is Montgame Island?" asked May, as she, Ash, and Pikachu left the Montgame airport.
"Yeah, doesn't it look nice?"
May gasped, "Nice?" She repeated as she fully exited the airport. "Nice?" The island was far more than just nice. It was absolutely beautiful. The sky was blue with no hint of clouds anywhere. The streets were filled with people rather than cars, walking in and out of buildings, stores, houses. Every so often, you would see a taxi speeding up to get its passengers. There was the smell of the ocean in the air and wingulls flying gracefully with the wind, there were times when it looked like they were hovering in mid-air; calling to each other. And the kids! Everywhere you looked there were kids! Instead of in Petalburg, where the kids found it better to sit in front of the TV for hours. These kids were everywhere, running around with their tiny Pokemon at their heels. Many of them were not chaperoned, playing in a group. But what attracted May's attention most were the three huge buildings almost surrounding the island. They stood proudly, protecting the people of the island from the sun's glare. Pokemon Maters sleep here it said in huge letters.
"Do you see that building over there?" asked Ash, pointing towards the smallest of the three buildings to the right.
"Where?" May stared at where she thought Ash was pointing.
"There!" He said, keeping his index finger up in the air.
"I still don't see it." said May with annoyance.
Ash shook his head. "You're blind May, I swear." He took May's right hand and pointed it to where he was talking about.
May stared at it before happily saying, "IT'S BEAUTIFUL!"
"That's where we're sleeping." said Ash.
Pikachu, who had been silent the whole time, jumped off of Ash's shoulder and began running towards the building. "Pi pikachu!" It shouted as if daring May and Ash to run after it.
"Hey!" shouted Ash, letting go of May's hand. "Wait for us!" He picked up his backpack and suitcase before running after Pikachu.
May stared at her hand for sometime before placing it onto her chest. She could feel herself becoming happy, her heart beat racing through her. She was lucky, she knew she was lucky, to have a friend like Ash. "Wait for me!" she shouted excitedly before picking up her own things and chasing after her two friends.
Ash saw her nearing him and laughed. "May! I never knew you could run!"
"Of course I can run!" said May, "it's you who can't!"
"I can run!" said Ash as he slowed down. "I just don't want to."
"Oh right." May laughed. "I think you can't run, I think you haven't been running, or even walking much for that matter, ever since we stopped traveling together!"
"Oh yeah!" said Ash. "I'll race you to the hotel; first one there gets the better bed!"
"You're on!"
The locals of the island stared at the two teenagers raced down the streets. Most of the teenagers there were never seen racing together, if they were ever to run, it would be to get to their training, or meeting with Lance. And if they were ever seen together, it was to go on a date or complain about the training, but mostly for a date. After all Montgame meant sprouting romance in the old language the natives used to speak.
May smiled when she reached the automatic doors of the hotel. "I won!" she said, jumping up and down. "I won! I won!"
Ash came running shortly after May had reached the hotel.
"I won!" she said again. "I get the better bed!"
Ash laughed. "Are you kidding? Pikachu got here way before you."
May looked into the hotel and noticed Pikachu chatting away with a girl inside. The girl had on a baseball cap, yellow jacket, white shirt with black stripes under, and black shorts.
"Since Pikachu got here first, he gets the better bed." continued Ash.
"How many beds are there?" asked May, turning back to Ash.
"Two."
"Two?" May grinned. "And Pikachu gets one of them. What about you, where are you going to sleep?"
"Um… with Pikachu?"
May shook her head. "No, you said whoever got here first got the better bed. So that means you sleep on the floor, because I got second."
"You're wrong May. I said whoever won got the better bed, which means whoever lost got the other bed. Which in this case would be…"
"…Us"
Ash looked at May, and she looked at him. They both thought about what they had just said and then suddenly blushed. May looked down to her feet and Ash pretended that he had an itch at the back of his head.
"Y-you know, I don't remember P-Pikachu being in the race." said May as she continued to look down at her feet.
"Yeah," agreed Ash. "You get the better bed."
"Okay." May looked up at Ash and noticed that he was staring at her too. "We better go inside."
"Yeah," Ash opened the doors for May and entered the hotel after her.
"Ash?"
The raven haired boy turned to his friend. "Yeah?"
"Um… who's that?" asked May, pointing towards the girl inside of the hotel talking with Pikachu.
"Huh?" Ash turned to face the hotel and his expression from clue-less turned to fear in one second. "Aw crap."
"What? What?" May waved her hand in front of Ash's face, but he didn't blink. The only reassurance she had that he was still alive was his breathing.
"I was never here." said Ash, turning the other way. But he was too late because the girl inside had noticed him and began walking out of the hotel. "Ash!" She shouted, giving him a light slap on the back. And Ash, being who he was, fell to the floor.
May and the girl just stared at him, and then looked at each other.
"I didn't think I hit him so hard." said the girl, taking out her hand. "I'm Casey by the way."
May shook the girl's hand and smiled. "May, and I don't think you hit him so hard either, Casey."
Pikachu rushed over to Ash's side to see what was wrong with its master. "Pi pika?"
"I'm alright," said Ash, slowly standing up. Casey and May helped him get onto his feet.
"Ash," Casey smiled. "You know what day today is?"
"Saturday?"
"And the day you're taking me out."
Ash gulped. "B-but I said I'll pay you back."
"Oh, come on!" Casey linked arms with Ash. "I don't care about the money, I care about you."
"But I have to go to training!" said Ash. "It's Lance, I came to training late twice and he said I better not come late again."
"Okay, I'll walk you there."
Ash looked helplessly back at May. Help me he mouthed.
May took a deep breath. "Where are you going Ash?" She asked. "I can't believe you're going away with Casey when you just told me I was the love of your life! I'm never going to forgive you if you cheat on me!"
"Love of your life?" Casey loosened her grip on Ash.
"That's right!" said May, taking Ash's free hand between her own. "You could say… we're sort of an item now."
Casey looked over at Ash and he nodded quickly. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked, letting go of Ash completely.
"Must have slipped my mine," replied Ash.
"He's a nutcase," said May.
"Pika pi." added Pikachu.
Casey took one last look at Ash and May and then forced a smile. "Congratulations, you know, I'm going to be late for training." And with that, she turned around and began walking away.
"I feel guilty," said Ash as soon as Casey was out of ear-shot.
"You're supposed to be." replied May walking into the hotel. All the while, she kept Ash's hand tight between her own, and he seemed not to care. She couldn't help but feel protective of him; it was because she didn't want Casey or any other girl to get in the way of the time Ash and May spent together. And he had taken her with him all the way to Montgame, and that had to mean something. And since it was only them and Pikachu, May wanted to spend as much as time with Ash as she could.
They headed towards the front desk where there sat a lady with pink curly hair that seemed to fall over her face. She was on the phone when Ash, May, and Pikachu reached the desk.
The lady smiled at Ash and placed the phone down. "Hello Mr. Ketchum, how are you today?"
"Fine thanks." Ash reached into his pocket and placed his trainer card onto the table. On it had a picture of him with information like how old he was, what year he became a Pokemon Master, what his height was, what Pokemon he was carrying, and so on.
The lady took it and put it through a scanner. "I have heard that you are doing very well Mr. Ketchum, Mr. Flame(Lance) is very pleased with you. And the elite 4 are very happy with your progress."
Ash blushed, "awe, I'm not doing that well."
"Oh no Mr. Ketchum you're doing very well." The lady smiled and handed Ash back his card. "Mr. Flame would like to speak with you by the way."
"What room should I go to, Lydia?" asked Ash, pushing his trainer card back into his pocket.
Lydia froze and looked up at Ash. "Your usual Mr. Ketchum."
"My usual?" Ash laughed. "What are you talking about? I requested a room with double beds." He pointed towards May.
"Oh Mr. Ketchum, you never requested a two bed room. You never requested anything, so I assumed you were keeping your same room."
"And what's that room?" asked May.
"Mr. Ketchum's room is on the third floor. It has a king sized bed with a view of the ocean. It also has a computer with cable internet, a phone with long distance, and a TV with digital cable."
"That sounds nice." May turned to Ash, "So what's the problem?"
"There's only one bed, where would we sleep?"
"I'll sleep on the bed and you sleep on the floor."
"What? Are you kidding? I'm not sleeping on the floor! I'm usually exhausted after training and I need a good bed to relax on."
"But I'm your guest. And I'm a girl! I'm not sleeping on the floor!"
"Might I suggest sharing it?" asked Lydia.
Both Ash and May glared back at her and shouted. "No!"
"But it's big enough for the both of you," continued Lydia. "And you won't be touching."
The two teenagers looked back at each other and then at Lydia.
"Fine," said May. "But only because I want to sleep on that bed too."
"Same here," said Ash reaching for the room's keys.
"I'll get Benjamin to put your luggage into your room." Lydia smiled. "Have a good stay!"
Ash thanked Lydia and he, May, and Pikachu made their way to the elevator. All the way holding hands.
"If we have to share a bed," said May. "I get the side that's facing the ocean."
"Hey wait!" Ash turned over to May. "That's my favorite side!"
"But I called for it!"
"But I was always sleeping there, even before you came!"
"Oh come on!"
"No, you come on! May, I always had that side!"
"Pi pikachu!" shouted Pikachu, trying to break up the argument.
"I can't believe you're being so stubborn Ash!"
"And I can't believe I actually thought that it was a good idea to bring you!"
"Yeah? Well that makes two of us!" May pulled her hand away from Ash's and looked away from him.
Pikachu sighed and hopped onto Ash's shoulder. "Pika."
Ash frowned and looked over at his room keys; maybe it was all a mistake. He looked over at May; she was busy reading something on the elevator wall. He sighed and looked over at the elevator doors as they reached their floor. "We're here."
"I know."
Ash led May to their room all the while he was thinking about Misty; about the way she had dumped him.
He had come to her gym like he always did on his day off. But this time Misty hadn't greeted him with a hug and kiss, this time she told him to help her feed the Pokemon in the gym. So he did, and after staying silent for sometime, he asked her what was wrong.
"Nothing," she said.
"Oh come on Misty." said Ash following her. "There's something wrong, I know there is."
Misty ignored him and went on to feed her horsie.
"Misty, you can tell me."
"It's just…" Misty placed down the Pokemon food and stared Ash right in the eye. Her own cerulean eyes that used to be warm and bright for Ash were nothing but cold pools of blue. "Why are you always out Ash? How am I supposed to be helpful to you if you're always gone? How are you supposed to be helpful to me if you're always gone?"
Ash chuckled. "I thought we've already been through this Misty, I'm going to keep on my training."
"But you're already a Pokemon Master!" protested Misty. "You don't need to go through all that training Ash."
"Yes I do. I'm still not a Pokemon Master, there's more to it than getting the title, that's way I have to train there."
"I'm sorry Ash, but…"
"But what?"
Misty's hand began to tremble and Ash noticed her eyes began to water. "But if you think that title is better than me, well, I don't think we can do this relationship anymore."
"What are you talking about?" asked Ash as he put his arm around Misty. "You mean so much more to me than a title."
"Then why don't you take some time off and help me? It's been so busy around here and I need all the help I can get."
"B-because I'm busy too. Can't you wait until summer?"
"And if I wait?" asked Misty. "You won't be much help then because my sisters will all be married."
"I'm sorry Misty." apologized Ash. "But I can't do anything about my schedule."
"Just admit it." said Misty standing up. "I'm not as important to you as that title."
"You are as important! More important!"
"I'm sorry Ash." Misty sniffed and faced her back towards Ash. "But we're done."

Ash shook his head, he wasn't supposed to think about Misty. He was supposed to think about his training right now. And about… May. No! Ash shook his head again; he couldn't have both girls swimming around his head. That was crazy, and besides, both girls hated him.
May looked around the room in awe, it looked better than Lydia had explained it. "And this is where you sleep? Every time you go here?"
"Yeah," Ash shrugged. "You get used to it after a while."
May sat down on the bed and to test it, even jumped on it a little. "Oh wow. This bed is great!"
"Pikachu!" Pikachu hopped onto the bed beside May and jumped along with her.
"It's not going to stay great if you jump on it."
May smiled, "I know. Um, listen Ash. You can have the ocean side if you want."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I mean, you deserve it more than me."
"Oh, thanks." Ash smiled too. "I guess that argument was kinda stupid of us."
"Yeah, I'm sorry."
"Me too."
May looked away so Ash decided to look through his backpack for any unnecessary things for him to leave at the hotel. It surprised him though, how quickly the two had made up. And then he thought about how stupid it really would have been if they continued arguing all through out the month. He shrugged the thought out of his head and slipped off his backpack. He was just opening up the zipper when the door was abruptly opened.
"Mr. Ketchum?" came a voice from behind the door. "I am here to give you your luggage."
But Ash couldn't reply because whoever had opened the door so suddenly caused him to be pushed towards the bed. Ash lost his balance and came stumbling towards the bed, towards May. He tried to regain control, stop himself before he caused an accident, when he tried to raise his right foot only for it to stop dead in the air because his left foot was standing on a loose shoelace. This time there was no trying to stop it, Ash just fell forward.
May looked up towards Ash and her mouth literally fell open. And before she could do much of anything to move, Ash was already on top of her. Well, on top of her breasts.
"I'm sorry." A man with dark curly hair poked his head into the room. "Is this a bad time Mr. Ketchum?"
