Surprise surprise, I bet ya'll weren't expecting this. Anyway this is a chapter that i wrote a while back for a friend since she enjoyed the story and wanted to see something a bit more "mature". This chapter is mainly written for the lols and not to be taken completely seriously. I do allude to some possible future stories in this chapter so maybe keep an eye out. Hope you enjoy this chapter. Oh and before I forget, this takes place roughly 1-2 years after the end of chapter 25.
Extra Chapter: The Good Old Switcheroo
May was slowly opening her eyes to reveal the scene of the brightly colored sunset sky along with the calming sound of sea waves. She let out a long breath before remembering what had happened just before her nap. She remembered how Brendan had given her his card for access to the ship's private area, so she wouldn't have to be surrounded by hundreds of other people bathing in the same pool, but instead enjoy a somewhat more relaxing atmosphere with fewer people.
Brendan had told her he had some business to take care of, so he would meet up with her later.
May was quite surprised when she had entered the private area. Unlike the public area, this area was one where only passengers that paid a ridiculous amount of money could access. In Brendan's case however, he was given access of the area as an apology for not being able to book a larger more luxurious room as he had to book last minute, and all the great rooms were gone. That and the fact that he was quite influential in Hoenn helped to give him access.
It had already been about two weeks since Brendan had invited May to visit Sinnoh with him. He told her that he was planning on challenging the Battle Frontier in Sinnoh and when he told May that the event known as the Wallace Cup would be taking place soon, May was more than happy to go along with him.
She was shocked when he saw him after so many months of not seeing each other. Sure, she had seen him before on television and magazines, but seeing him in person was completely different.
For one, she noticed that he had matured rather well. He was no longer that little neighbor of her's that she grew up with when they were kids. She also noticed how he basically towered over her. At one point in their childhood, May had been the one that was leading in height, but at some point, Brendan began to pull ahead of her. At first it was just by a few centimeters, but now it was almost by a foot. Her head barely reached over his shoulders now!
She remembered how she had almost lost her breath when she saw his face in person. To say he was good looking would be an understatement. No wonder the recent Hoenn Monthly poll for "Most Attractive Men in Hoenn" ranked him in second. The only other person who was considered better looking was Steven Stone and as much as she hated to say it, the poll was correct. No one could compete with Steven.
The only reason why she knew such information about that position was because her rival Drew had been flaunting the magazine to show that he made it onto the list as well. May had pulled the magazine out of his hands to see for herself and when she flipped the pages to see the higher rankings, she was surprised to see her childhood neighbor there. She had called him up to congratulate him and he had acted pretty embarrassed about it.
She had also noticed through his clothing, as Brendan was wearing nice fitted clothing that day, how he was well toned and fit. Not that she was staring or anything.
Brendan had noticed the many changes May had undergone through her teen years as well. He noticed how she had more feminine like traits like for example her curves. The stick like figure he knew as a kid had been replaced with a petite yet curvy body. He, much to his amusement, also noticed that May hadn't grown that much in height since the last time they had met.
He would sometimes tease her by calling her "shorty" and she would fire back her own comeback claiming he was some sort of giant even though he was just below six feet in height. That one-inch kind of bugged him sometimes.
There was however one area of her body that no matter how hard he tried not to stare, his eyes always wondered to it. He of course was talking about how her breasts had grown and he thought they were the perfect size. Not too small, but also not huge. He also couldn't deny that her face had grown really cute and attractive as well.
There were also many things that didn't change. One of those things was the pair's ravenous eating habits. May remembered how Brendan had taken her to eat the day they had confessed and how they had almost been kicked out because they had eaten all the food in the restaurant, just like the time after their graduation ceremony where they were kicked out for eating all the buffet's food. There was still the fact that May was unable to pull a legitimate win against her boyfriend when it came to eating.
There was also the fact that Brendan still cracked a lot of jokes and teased May like before. May remembered how her eyes had nearly bulged when they had received the bill for their meal.
"Bren-Bren-Brendan we can't pay for this! We don't have that kind of money."
"May calm down. I got this is all covered," he responded in a reassuring voice. May's nerves were slightly calmed before noticing that mischievous smirk appear on the boy's face. That smirk never meant anything good.
"How do you have this covered?" she asked quizzically.
"Well May, when they're not looking we make a run for it," he whispered in a serious tone. He was leaning in front of the table with a hand pressed to the side of face.
"What you can't be serious!" she whispered harshly back. She couldn't fathom the idea of running out, especially after all the food they had eaten. It was against her principles.
She noticed how his expression softened before a smile crossed his face. She knew immediately that he was joking.
"Like I said May I got this covered," he reassured. He quickly pulled out his trainer card out his wallet and set it on top of the receipt where the waiter could pick it up.
"Wait you're paying? How much money do you have?" May asked, shocked that he would be cover all their meal expenses.
"Well May you would be surprised how much being the champion of a region pays. That and all the tv appearances I've made and all the clothing brands that want me to wear their clothes. All of those pay surprisingly well. Who knows, maybe I could rival the Diamond family," he joked.
From what Brendan had told her, the Diamond family was a family that held great wealth and power in the Sinnoh region. He had told her how the family had a very long history that some claimed could be tracked back to the very founding of Sinnoh. He had also told her how one of the members, Lucas Diamond, held the position of Sinnoh's champion for a short while before he resigned to focus on his research and family business. Sometimes he would tell May how they had both met in what May called a 'Nerd Convention' and they had stayed in touch since. He told her how the two had traveled together in Kanto to challenge the Battle Frontier. Sometimes he would talk about how they would sometimes have a full six on six battle when the opportunity brought itself up, and it always ended in a draw. They both seemed to be equal when it came to pokemon battling.
When May asked Brendan if Lucas was like those snobby, arrogant people that are common in television shows, Brendan told her that Lucas was pretty much the opposite.
"Well May, this may come as a shock, but the guy told me how he was fortunate to be born into such wealth, that he always wanted to make a change for those that are less fortunate. He is like a saint."
"Huh, that's actually quite refreshing to hear, I guess I'm so used to the ones you see in television."
"It's not just him May, but it appears his entire family as well. You can look up history books where it says that they helped to build Sinnoh's infrastructure and lead the way for industrialization and are still doing it to this day. Apparently, they've been doing it for the past 200 years."
"You know I've never really been the best when it comes to books, and didn't you say they had a much longer history?"
"Just like old times huh," he teased which caused the girl to stick her tongue out at him. After a moment Brendan said, "well, Lucas did tell me that his family had a much longer history, but he would rather stay silent about events before then."
Not much was said after that. Brendan wanted to know more, but he knew it wasn't the best idea to have the other boy explain more of his family when it wasn't his business. After all it may had been bad, and it would be better to stay hidden.
May also began to recall how there was a certain water type the boy owned that always seemed to dislike her. When the water type first saw her, he didn't hesitate to immediately send a hydro pump to her face just like old times. She never understood as to why the mudkip line never seemed to like her. She had been hoping that this certain water type would have grown out of that annoying habit once he evolved, but even now as a swampert, the pokemon still seemed to dislike her for some reason.
May wasn't done thinking back when a hand ran through her hair. She had almost completely forgotten of what she was doing before she began her flashback. She realized that she was still laying on her boyfriend's chest as they were sleeping together on a deck chair.
Many of the patrons had already left, leaving just the two of them alone. The area consisted of a large pool, along with a large jacuzzi. There were also waiters ready to serve the people within the area along with lines of deckchairs for the patrons and umbrellas.
May was still dressed in her swimsuit while Brendan was in his. Well actually he hadn't removed his shirt since he had fallen asleep once he had gotten to the area, much to May's dismay.
Was it bad that she wanted to see her boyfriend shirtless? He had told her how easily he would fall asleep now. He told her how his current position as champion as well as training his pokemon, television show appearances, interviews and father's research would always keep him busy and make him exhausted, so he was glad that he was able to take a much-needed vacation. He was glad that Steven and Wallace were more than happy to cover for his absence in Hoenn.
Well more so Steven.
Now that she thought about, she had kind of seen him shirtless recently. It happened when Brendan was sleeping, and his shirt was slightly lifted which gave the young brunette a small peak at his stomach. It was a small peek, but it was enough to cause a mad blush to appear on her face. She mentally debated about whether she should pull his shirt to get a better view before ultimately deciding that it was not the best idea. After all, what would his reaction be?
Of course, all of this happened before they confessed so it would have been more awkward.
She remembered how she had laid herself to sleep by his side and was taken by surprise when he pulled her closer to him by using his arms. She had her head buried on his chest while his arms were wrapped around her. She was completely shocked at first, but she relaxed as she took in his warmth and smell. He still had that familiar smell of apples and cinnamon, but she had detected a faint trace of cologne. Her own arms had made their way to wrap themselves around him and she fell into a peaceful sleep that night. Falling asleep to the steady sound of his heartbeat.
Brendan had woken up the following morning feeling warm and oddly comfortable. He glanced down to see that May was wrapped around his arms, while her own arms were wrapped around him. A mad blush overtook his face noticing their close proximity. He specially noticed how a certain pair of female organs were pushing up against him and the smell of vanilla coming from the girl.
Seeing her peaceful face was enough to convince him to not disturb her. Actually, he was quite glad he had fallen asleep on the bed last night.
Due to the size of the room, the boy had agreed to sleep on the couch while May took the bed. He was met with some opposition at first, but he was eventually able to convince the girl to take the bed.
Last night however was different. He had returned to his room feeling utterly exhausted after he and his pokemon had hit the gym. He also trained alongside his pokemon to make sure that he was in great physical shape. He wasn't a bodybuilder or anything, but he was quite fit from both his traveling and training.
Last night he arrived at the room covered in sweat and exhausted. After a quick bath with constant arguing with Skipper about him not being able to fit in the tub anymore (Skipper often bathed with Brendan when he was a mudkip, but now that he's a swampert his body is too big to fit in the bathtub along with Brendan comfortably), the boy had decided to have a quick meal before calling it a day. And by quick meal, he meant about six large pizzas.
His eyes were beginning to droop shortly after his meal that he instinctively laid down on the bed. May hadn't returned yet so he was sure it was fine before sleep took its toll on the boy.
He had been sleeping quite a lot lately.
He noticed that May was beginning to wake up and was immediately starting to make explanations for their positions. What happened however was the complete opposite that had expected.
He had expected her to be mad, but instead she told him how much she enjoyed sleeping together with him. It wasn't long before May pushed her face towards Brendan and they both shared their first kiss. They had finally confessed the feelings that they had been feeling for years.
Later that same day, May called her mom to tell her what had happened.
"So mom," she began. A bright smile was aligned on her face as she was speaking. "Brendan and I are officially a couple now, and we slept together last night."
There was a soft moment of silence between the two before May heard what she thought was two squeals come from the other line. It sounded like there was a pair of high school girls present on the other line.
"Don't you think you're too young… but never mind. So, May how was it? Did you enjoy it? How did it feel? You guys used protection, right?" she was bombarded by her mother.
May suddenly realized that her choice of words earlier were probably not the best. She was quick to defend herself through the mad blush that was growing on her face.
"Mom it wasn't like that! We didn't do that! We just cuddled in the same bed that's all!"
Over at Brendan's side (who had called his father to tell him about it), Professor Birch asked, "you guys used protection right?"
"Dad! It wasn't like that. We just... you know cuddled!"
Back at the deck chair, Brendan was slowly running his hands to May's hair as he was waking up as well. After a second, he removed his hands and stretched out. He noticed that the sun was beginning to set and that May looked like she had been awake as well.
After a loud yawn he asked, "so May, wanna grab something to eat? My treat."
May was all too happy to take his offer up as she gave him a nod along with a smile. The pair stood up from the deck chair and stretched their limbs out.
May was quick to dress back into clothing that wasn't as revealing as she threw on a pair of jean shorts and a green t-shirt over her swimsuit.
Brendan stretched out for another minute as he put on his sunglasses and baseball cap back on. From what he had told May, he said that it helped disguise him better, although there was still that one rabid fan that was able to recognize him despite his disguises.
The two made their way out of the area and into one of the many restaurants that the ship had. Since they didn't feel like changing out of their clothes they had both agreed to visit one of the less fancier places that didn't require its guests to follow a strict dress code.
They had made their way back to their room after their meal and sat down on the long couch to watch some of the television programs that the ship offered. They had both changed out of their swimming gear and into their usual pajamas.
May sported a simple green tank top along with red pajama pants. Brendan sported his usual sleeping attire of a black t-shirt and black shorts. They huddled closer together watching a movie about star crossed lovers who met while onboard the world's biggest steam liner at the time. Unfortunately, due the ship hitting an iceberg in the northern sea and lack of safety regulations regarding water pokemon, the ship sunk leaving vast amounts of people to die in the frigid waters.
May could hear sniffles as the movie had reached its conclusion. Honestly Brendan could sometimes get so emotional when it came to movies. He was also a huge scaredy cat.
"You alright there Brendan?" she sarcastically asked.
"Sniff… sniff, May it's just so sad. He died at the end and I know both of them could of fit in that door."
"How would you know," she asked. "If you ask me it looks like that door couldn't support their weight."
"I know because I know the leading actor when we met in Sinnoh and he visited Hoenn recently, and even he said that he and the actress both got on the door after shooting and they both perfectly floated. He told me that the script had him die so he couldn't get on the door."
His sniffles had nearly calmed down.
"Wait you didn't tell me he came to Hoenn?" May exclaimed. She jumped and pushed her face in front of Brendan's, so she was staring him down. "Why didn't you introduce me?" she asked demandingly.
"Calm down May jeez," Brendan responded. He placed his hands to the side of his face akin to surrender under the brunette's questioning glance. After a moment he said, "honestly May, I think you go a bit insane when celebrities are mentioned."
"I do not!" she exclaimed. She crossed her arms and turned to face away from him.
Brendan raised an eyebrow, clearly remembering all the posters, albums, t-shirts, light sticks, and other fan stuff she had.
"Fine," he sighed.
"So anything you wanna know about him?" He asked.
May turned to face him, eyes glowing with questions. "How does he look in real life? Does he look like in the movie?"
"Well May just between you and me, he looks way better in person and he's actually really tall and he's just two years older than us."
"Is that all?"
"Actually he has a very nice behind," Brendan joked. He had been doing circular hand motions to illustrate his point.
May didn't know if Brendan was being serious or not, but before she could ask another question, Brendan interrupted her.
"He's actually a great battler as well. We both had a full six on six battle which ended in a draw," he sighed. "Come on May, it's late. We should be getting some shut eye."
"Oh come on, tell me more," she pleaded.
"Some other time May, hey maybe I'll introduce you sometime," he suggested.
"You will? Oh my gosh thanks," May exclaimed. She pushed herself closer to Brendan where the two embraced each other and gradually welcomed the embrace of sleep.
Unfortunately for them, a certain physic type pokemon popped out of the boy's waist once they was fully asleep and she thought he would play a prank on the couple.
Brendan was slowly opening his eyes the following morning. He glanced at the digital clock situated on the bedside table, taking in the time. It was rather early as the room hadn't been permeated by the sun's rays yet.
He slowly pushed himself off the couch and onto his feet. Suddenly he felt really strange. For some reason he felt a lot shorter and he felt like there was something sitting on his chest. He ignored the sensation for the time being and headed towards the kitchen.
That's weird, he thought. Were the drawers always this high up? He was still groggy, so his mind wasn't fully aware of what was going on.
He was able to see his reflection as he passed by the microwave and let out a loud shocked shout that immediately filled the room.
He noticed that for some reason the reflection was reflecting the image of May instead of his own. He suddenly began touching his face and slapping himself to see if it all had been just a dream.
"Jeez Brendan why must you always wake up so early," the boy heard his voice say as he saw his body entering the kitchen.
Suddenly both their expressions froze, and the pair pointed fingers at each other.
"What are you doing in my body!?" they both yelled.
"May is that you in my body?"
"Brendan is that you?" she asked as well. After a nod from the opposite body, May continued. "If it really is you then tell me something that we did when we were growing up. Something only Brendan would know."
A smirk crossed the boy in May's body as he began, "May when we were five you-" he never got to finish as a pair of hands clasped over his mouth.
"Yep that's definitely you." May managed through her embarrassment.
"Now to see if you're actually May," Brendan said. "Release Skipper from his pokeball."
"Wait you don't mean?" she asked hesitantly.
"Just do it May."
"Fine," she responded back rather hesitantly. May reached down to her boyfriend's waist where she picked out the pokeball of a certain water she disliked.
The large pokemon quickly materialized in the room and stared at the two before sending a hydro pump which struck May (in Brendan's body) straight in the face as always.
May saw the figure of her own body laughing uncontrollably on the floor and the water type had made its way to stand next to his trainer. Or rather stand next to the mind of his trainer rather than body.
"It seems Skipper just knows when you're around and that we switched bodies," he barely managed through his laughter and gave the water type a pat on the head.
May was meanwhile fuming with anger that even though she was in her boyfriend's body, the water type knew that it wasn't really him inside but her, and like always, greeted her by spraying her in the face with a water attack.
"So how did this happen?" May asked after she was done drying herself.
"I think I have a pretty good idea on how it happened," he began. He pointed at May and told her to release Freya (Brendan's gardevoir) from her pokeball.
The pokemon quickly materialized in front of the pair and it looked like she was struggling to hold back her laughter. May had no idea what was going on, but Brendan did as he and the pokemon ensued in a vicious stare down.
May could only watch from the sidelines as the two seemed to be communicating telepathically.
"Huh? What do you mean you used up too much energy and can't change us back?" Brendan asked the pokemon.
After a couple more seconds of staring each other down, Brendan sighed. "May looks like we will be stuck in each other's bodies for the rest of day. Freya here thought it would be a good idea to switch our minds while we slept, and she won't be able to change us back until tonight."
"Why would she think it would be a good idea?" May asked, giving the pokemon a quizzical look.
"She thought it would be a good prank for us," he said drily.
Suddenly a look of horror took the gardevoir's face as Brendan kept staring at her. It seemed that Brendan was perhaps threatening her.
"But how was she able to do that?" May inquired, this entire situation seemed unreal to her.
"Well May… psychic powers are pretty mysterious. You can say they have the ability to manipulate many things around them whether they are physical or not. In this case Freya decided to manipulate our minds for the exchange to happen."
"Huh… but don't you have a metagross as well? Don't you think he could change us back? After all he is a physic type."
"May, as much faith as I have in Titan (short for Titanium), we are still working in mastering his physic abilities, so at the moment he's not at the same level as let's say Freya, so I'm not sure he would be able to have the same level as control as her."
"Oh," May could only say back disappointingly.
"Oh well might as well make the best out of the situation," May heard the boy say. After a moment she noticed how his head or rather her head looked down to see her breasts.
"Brendan you better not," she threatened.
"Why not?" he fired back. "I've always wanted to know how it felt," he said nonchalantly. His hands or rather her hands had made their way onto the chest area where he began groping them. He felt that they were soft and bouncy.
May was shocked that her boyfriend would have been so honest in that matter, but she wasn't about to take this laying down. She was going to do something she wanted to do ever since she saw Brendan again.
May lifted the shirt off her boyfriend so she could glance at Brendan's body. Just like she suspected, he was well built, and his stomach and chest felt really firm as she rubbed her hands against his torso. Much to her surprise, Brendan hardly seemed to be paying attention to her act of perversion as he was stuck in his own act.
"Brendan it doesn't bother you that I'm doing this?" she asked, hoping to get some sort of reaction from him.
"Nah, as long as you keep your hands above the waist I have no problem," he responded back nonchalantly.
Now that he had mentioned it, May felt that there was a strange feeling coming from between the legs. She felt like there was a brand-new organ placed there. She didn't know how to describe it.
"Brendan what is this that I'm feeling between my legs? It wasn't' there before," she asked. She knew what it was, but she just wanted to make sure.
"May, what you're feeling in between the legs are the male reproductive organs, surely you've heard of them before right?"
She had seen the organs back when they had attended school as the books showed a couple pictures of both pairs. She was just shocked that she was maybe the first girl to ever know what it feels like to ever have that set of organs.
"In my case May, I feel like there's a complete lack of something between my legs," he said.
She stuck her tongue out at him while he kept groping the breasts. He stopped after another minute and he suggested that they get changed and have some breakfast. May was more than happy to oblige as she picked up the discarded shirt from earlier off the ground and placed it back on.
"May why don't you get changed first?" Brendan asked. May eyed him for second, wary that maybe he wanted to begin taking more acts of perversion while he was inside her body, but he promised that he wouldn't do any of the sort. They both agreed they wouldn't remove each other's underwear as well.
May had initially grabbed her bag before she was stopped by Brendan who handed her his bag. "I don't think your clothes will fit my body," he teased.
"Shut up," May fired through her embarrassment. She couldn't believe that she had made such a simple mistake.
As May was staring at herself in the restroom she made sure to not remove the boy's boxers as that would be a complete invasion of privacy. Sure, they were a couple now, but that didn't mean that she had the right to see his naked body without his permission. Even though part of her really wanted to. She had to constantly remind herself about the promise they had made a few moments ago.
She began rummaging through his green turtle shell bag shocked that he carried so much clothes with him. He carried the basic trainer goods such as medicines, snacks, and camping equipment, but he also carried a large amount of clothes as well. Anything from a simple swimsuit to full on formal wear. Some of the clothes he carried reminded May of the clothes she had seen male idols wear.
Heck he carried way more clothes than May did, and she remembered that he was a somewhat well-known clothing model back in Hoenn. She remembered how many clothing stores in Hoenn wanted to use his young image to sell their clothes, so they had hired Brendan to model some of their clothes for them and he would receive the clothes he modeled as a thank you as well as large amounts of money. As she kept rummaging through all the clothes, she realized that maybe picking out an outfit would prove to be more challenging that she thought.
She began rummaging through the wide assortment of pants, shorts, shirts, vests, ties, shoes, and heck she even tried on some of the coats, scarves and snow caps he had as well. Brendan had told her that the ship would be docking in Snowpoint City for a week, so he bought clothes for the city.
Even if it was midsummer, Snowpoint City was well known for having snow year-round so May needed to make sure to buy some winter clothes unless she wanted to freeze like a popsicle.
After about maybe three hundred different clothing combinations, she ended up picking out a pair of blue jeans, a long sleeved white shirt, a black zorua t-shirt she placed over the white shirt, and a pair of boots. She felt just… well like a guy. After looking at the mirror a couple more times and striking a couple poses, May decided that the outfit was satisfactory. She soon exited the bathroom, to see the figure of her body laying down the sofa with a bag of clothes laying on the small coffee table.
"Finally," he said. He paused for a moment as he stared at May or rather at himself. "Hey I look good," he gleamed.
May offered him a small smile before Brendan had made his way to bathroom. He stripped down just to the girl's bra and underwear as he didn't want to invade her privacy even though he really wanted to see her naked body.
Since May had taken so long in the bathroom, Brendan had done quite a bit to pass the time. For example, Brendan made his way to a clothing store where he bought what he thought would be something cute for May. It's not to say he didn't want to wear May's usual green and orange traveling outfit, but he wanted to try something different on. He bought something that he was curious about wearing for quite a while and now that he was in a female body, the opportunity was perfect.
After about ten minutes he finished putting the finishing touches on the outfit. He looked at himself in the mirror and thought about how cute May looked. Hopefully she would like this outfit as much as he did.
The bathroom door clicked open which snapped May's attention away from watching the television. Her mouth had nearly dropped as she saw the wardrobe change Brendan had performed.
Her body was wearing a long sleeved white button up shirt placed below a navy-blue sleeveless jumper with white borders. She noticed how the short blue plaid skirt perfectly complimented the jumper as well as the red bowtie that hung at the hem of the shirt. She also noticed that her body was wearing a pair of white knee length socks with black stripes near the top and black dress shoes. If anything, the outfit reminded her of when she had attended school.
"Bren-Brendan where did you get those clothes?"
"You were taking so long in the restroom that I decided to do a little shopping," he smiled. "So, what do you think? Cute right?" He asked, taking multiple poses to model for May.
"Yeah, it's cute," she admitted. "Wait does that mean you didn't want to wear my traveling outfit?" she asked slightly annoyed.
"I had no problem with it. It's just that I've always wanted to wear a school girl uniform and I finally know what it's like." He said with a cheeky grin.
May nodded, recalling the times when she had attended school with Brendan. Their school had a strict dress code that dictated that students had to wear certain school approved attire or be sent home. May eyed by how short the skirt was. If she had worn her skirt that low when going to school, she would have definitely caught the eyes of male students but also be sent home. Since they weren't in school anymore, Brendan had taken the liberty to add more femininity to the outfit and honestly, he was able to pull it off quite well… maybe even better than May.
"By the way, while you were in the restroom, I also took the liberty of feeding all of our pokemon," Brendan said a moment later taking May's mind away from the outfit.
"Did they attack you?" she asked, hoping for a yes. Maybe that would be her payback for all the times Skipper sprayed her in the face and that one time Drake (Brendan's salamence) bit her hand.
"Nah not really," he shrugged.
"Blaziken actually hugged me," he snickered.
"Gee I wonder why he didn't attack you like Skipper does to me," May thought out loud.
"It's because I've raised him since he was an egg." Brendan answered.
After a couple minutes of talking with each other, the pair decided to head out to grab breakfast as both of their stomachs were now growling. Before exiting the room however, Brendan grabbed his baseball cap and sunglasses that he handed them to May so they wouldn't be recognized. She placed the items on and made their way to a restaurant.
May finally knew as to why Brendan always defeated her when it came to eating challenges. The boy was simply much bigger than her and therefore his body took more food than hers. She was utterly surprised when she had eaten more than twice of what she would have normally eaten when she was in her own body.
Seriously is this boy like a bottomless vacuum cleaner? She thought as she ate another plate of food.
"Hah looks like I finally win this one Brendan," she said triumphantly.
"Yeah right May, you're inside my body so I should get the win," he argued.
The two continued bickering for the next couple of minutes as to who should get the win. The other patrons of the place looked on as if they thought the pair was insane. Eventually the waiter was able to break their dispute as he handed the pair the bill. May or rather Brendan inside her body, pulled out his wallet and placed his trainer card on the receipt to pay for their meal.
"Brendan shouldn't I be paying? After all I am the guy here?" she teased.
"Yeah yeah. May we both know you don't have that kind of cash on you," he teased back.
"I guess you're right," May sighed.
After leaving the restaurant the pair had decided to try the many forms of leisure and entertainment the ship offered. Their first stop was to see the performance of a pair of an Idols known as Yancy and Curtis. They were both performing at the theatre with raving fans already there when the brunette pair arrived.
Their second stop involved seeing some of the performances that some of the coordinators on board would put on for everyone to see. May wanted to join in, but she was unsure as she wasn't in her body at the moment. Brendan gave her his approval and gave her permission to use his pokemon.
May had released Freya and Mimi (Brendan's milotic) and the three created a brilliant display of water and physic power that left the audience in awe.
Freya and Mimi were Brendan's best contest pokemon. He didn't enter contests that much, but when he did he always used either one of them to dazzle the audience. All his other pokemon weren't exactly into contests, but they had also entered a couple as well. Brendan never got enough ribbons to participate in a Grand Festival like May had since he mainly entered contest when he was in town and they just happened to be going on. At the moment he only had three ribbons compared to the third-teen May had.
After a rather long lunch and another debate on who should get the win for eating the most food, the pair headed to their third stop.
Their third stop involved visiting the ship's arcade that hosted a wide variety of games for the passengers to play.
Like always, May proved that she was utterly terrible at video games while Brendan pulled a win against her on every game they played. May was utterly confused as to why she was so horrible at these games. Some of them weren't even that hard, yet she always lost. She had even lost at the dance games since she couldn't get her coordination right while in Brendan's body. Brendan on the other hand looked like he was a pro as he danced like he had fully adjusted to being in the girl's body. If anything, it looked like he enjoyed being her body maybe a bit too much. He had even kicked the shoes off so he could dance more comfortably.
"Cheater," she muttered when Brendan pulled another win against her. And how is he even nailing all those girl group dances? I didn't know my hips could even move like that.
The words to the song he was currently dancing to rang in her ears. She couldn't understand much of it, say for the small parts she time he was dancing a pretty simple dance as opposed to earlier.
'I'm like TT, Just like TT
Tell me that you'll be my baby'
Maybe I should dance to those boy groups next. I saw Cal dancing to them all the time, Brendan thought as he continued dancing away earning him an audience of male fans that cheered him on.
As the sun was beginning to set the pair decided to see the sunset together. The two sat close together on a bench admiring the vastness of the sea and the setting sun.
"Brendan?" May asked. Brendan turned his head away from the ocean to face May or rather face his face.
"Yeah?" he asked after a moment.
"What if we never change back to our bodies?" May asked uneasily.
"Umm… I honestly don't know May, maybe we would just have to learn to live as our new selves."
"But aren't you afraid that we may not be able to change."
"A little bit, but I have faith in Freya. Even though she can be mischievous and cheeky sometimes, she never goes back on her promises, so I'm sure she will be able to change us back."
May managed a nod as she went back to look at the sea. "I actually wouldn't mind staying in your body," she admitted.
"Neither would I," Brendan responded.
They smiled at each other for another moment and began to slowly reach for a kiss. The kiss was interrupted when a certain physic type popped out of her pokeball to greet them.
"Oh, so you're finally ready Freya?" Brendan asked.
The gardevoir nodded and began making a sphere of physic energy around her hands. Brendan and May's minds went numb for a minute and their eyes closed. When their eyes opened, they saw that the procedure had been successful in returning their bodies. They each gave each other a smile before grabbing each other in a tight hug.
"Thanks Freya," they both said in unison. The gardevoir curtsied before Brendan spoke again.
"But next time you pull something like that again, you're gonna get it," Brendan threatened.
The pokemon managed a nod before returning to her pokeball.
He turned to look at May before speaking,"May," Brendan began. "There's actually something that I would like to give you."
"What is it?" she asked. Bright mirth was dancing in her eyes excited as to what Brendan would give her.
"Look inside the jumper," Brendan told her.
May looked inside to reveal the shape of a small red box that she was surprised she hadn't noticed until now.
"Open it May," Brendan urged her.
She lifted the lid off the box to reveal the shape of a silver bracelet similar to the one that May had seen Brendan wearing on occasion. In the center of the bracelet laid a small rainbow-colored stone with the shape of what looked like a DNA in the center. Next to the smaller stone laid a large cream-colored stone with a similar DNA shape to the other stone, but instead had a red and black pattern.
"That May is a key stone and a Blazikenite. They help a pokemon to achieve mega evolution. Steven gave me a couple of key stones along with a couple of mega stones as well. I decided to give you these since I already have my own stones and since I don't have a Blaziken, I would also like you to have the Blazikenite since I gave the other stones to Skipper and Zen (Brendan's sceptile)."
May was utterly taken aback at his words. She had heard about mega evolution before and how it was extremely rare and only a small number of trainers could do it and now she was getting the opportunity to try it as well. She was at a complete loss for words.
She set the box down and quickly grabbed her boyfriend into a tight hug.
"Thank you, Brendan, thank you very much. I can't even begin to say what this means to me."
"Hey, it was no problem," he said. A smile had taken hold of his face and they both began to slowly lean in for a kiss.
Their lips met to the brilliant light of the sunset that day.
AN: so I hope you enjoyed that little more "mature" chapter. I was debating about posting it much earlier as a oneshot, but it would have not made much sense give that the previous story was still in writing and that maybe I would be spoiling, so I just decided to wait until the end to add it. Oh and if you got confused, Brendan and May changed bodies halfway through and they change back at the end.
May's team is like the anime and I mentioned a couple of Brendan's pokemon here. Hope you enjoyed and hope to see you again in the future.
