Chapter 2: The Heroes meet

A year later…..

Hoenn Region, Slateport City

Dawn and Garrett, over the course of a year, had grown very close and started dating.

Garrett and Dawn got off the Ferry and into the wonderful Slateport City.

"DAWN!" shouted someone.

Garrett grabbed Dawn's hand, thinking the worst was about to happen. What alerted him was a brunette girl with a red outfit and a red bandanna that was running towards them. Garrett was about to go into a defensive position when Dawn grabbed his hand.

"Garrett, it's ok; it's just my friend May, she won't hurt me" said Dawn.

Garrett glanced in May's direction, then back at Dawn and relaxed a little.

"Ok, if you say so" said Garrett before he gave Dawn a quick kiss on the forehead.

Dawn blushed and ran over to May.

"May! It's been so long" said Dawn as she hugged her friend.

"It's good to see you again" said May, she then noticed Garrett.

"Dawn, there's a weird guy eyeballing us" May whispered.

"I heard that" said Garrett as he walked over.

"May, this weird guy is my boyfriend; his name's Garrett" said Dawn as she wrapped her arms around Garrett's right arm.

"Garrett, this is my friend May Maple, she's from Petalburg City" explained Dawn.

"Any relation to Norman Maple?" asked Garrett.

"Yeah, he's my dad"

"Wow, gym leader's daughter, must have had a rough time living up to people's expectations" said Garrett.

"Well sort of, I didn't want to follow my father's footsteps, I wanted to become a Pokémon Coordinator" said May.

"So you're just like Dawn, wanting to win Ribbons and compete in the Grand Festivals?"

"Yeah"

"So May, is Ash with you?" asked Dawn with a little smirk.

May's face turned scarlet at the mention of Ash.

"No, I'm waiting for him and Red to arrive from Kalos" said May.

"Wait, Red and Ash? Are you talking about Red and Ash Ketchum? The twin brothers that have taken the Pokémon Leagues by storm?" asked Garrett.

"Yeah, what about it?" Asked May.

"I've always wanted to meet them, heard they were really strong" said Garrett.

"Who do you have with you?" Dawn whispered to Garrett.

"Electivire, as usual, Dragonite, Typhlosion, Staraptor, Absol and, Gallade" Garrett whispered back.

"Well then, Ash and Red might be in for a little challenge" Dawn whispered before kissing Garrett on the cheek and then laying her head on his shoulder.

"Let's go sit down by the ferry gate, the next ship from Kalos is going to arrive in a few minutes" said Garrett.

They quickly walked over to the area where the ferry from Kalos was supposed to dock. They found a bench and sat down on it. Dawn laid her head on Garrett's shoulder while he laid his head on top of hers.

May looked at them and sighed, "I wish Ash and I were like that"

May looked up and thought she saw something in the water and walked over to the edge of the pier. A single tentacle shot out and latched onto her arm, pulling her towards the unknown creature. May let out a quick scream before going under. Dawn and Garrett shot up from the bench and ran over to where May had been.

"Does it only work with Pokémon you have?" asked Dawn.

"It works better that way" said Garrett as he took his backpack, jacket, and Pokéballs off. He picked up one and threw it into the air, "Dragonite I need you!"

Dragonite appeared in a flash before his trainer.

"Dragonite follow me" said Garrett as his eyes changed to match Dragonite's.

"Nite" said Dragonite.

Garrett dived into the water and Dragonite followed him.

Dawn could only watch as they went under.

Under the water Garrett spotted May being pulled away by a Tentacruel.

Garrett swam after the Tentacruel, Dragonite following.

Tentacruel turned and saw it was being pursued. He fired its Poison sting at them.

Garrett and Dragonite let loose their Dragon Pulse and destroyed the Poison sting. The attack had also hit Tentacruel, releasing May.

The Tentacruel went after her but Dragonite tackled it and they started having an underwater brawl.

Garrett grabbed May and swam to the surface. As they broke the surface of the water May started coughing up water. Garrett heard a loud horn and saw the ferry from Kalos. He focused and sprouted his Dragonite wings.

May looked at the wings with surprise and fear.

Garrett took off and landed on the deck of the ferry and retracted his wings.

"May!" shouted someone behind Garrett.

Garrett turned only to get slugged in the face by a raven haired boy, who ran over to May.

The boy glared at Garrett, "What did you do to her?"

"Nothing, she was dragged underwater by a Tentacruel, My Dragonite is fighting it now" said Garrett.

The water next to the boat exploded as Tentacruel surfaced along with Dragonite, continuing their brawl.

Garrett ran and jumped off the boat and landed on the Tentacruel.

"OK YOU RUINED DAWN'S DAY! NOW LIGHTS OUT!" shouted Garrett before he slammed a Thunder punch into Tentacruel's head.

The Pokémon fell over with swirly eyes.

"Thank Arceus that's over" said Garrett as he hopped on Dragonite, who flew back to Slateport City and landed next to Dawn.

"WHERE'S MAY?" asked a worried Dawn.

"Don't worry, she's on the ferry coming here" said Garrett before he fell backwards from exhaustion.

Dawn caught him and laid his head on her lap.

Dawn kissed Garrett on the head and whispered, "My hero"

Garrett smiled and so did Dawn as they sat on the pier waiting for the Ferry to arrive.

So what did you all think? Good Right? Well I wanted Ash to show that he wasn't dense anymore… So he showed feelings for May when she was hurt a little bit…. There might be more later on…. So read and review…

Clank out.
