Chapter 5

Ash and company returned back to Palette Town, and were welcomed with a homecoming party similar to the one that they received at the end of their Kanto journey. Mr. Mime had prepared all of the food and Ash's mom greeted her son with long, loving hug that Ash thought would never end. Professor Oak was there as well, to ask the three of them how their journey went and how the Johto region was. Oak happily took Ash's Johto Pokedex and was off to the lab. For an unknown reason to Ash, he mentioned that Gary had been on Cinnabar Island for a month now, doing research on the aquatic Pokemon that live near there. Oak returned to his lab and happily looked at all of the new information that he received. For the next couple days Ash and his three friends hung around in Palette, telling Ash's mom about their stories from the region. Two days later Professor Oak came back to the house, telling Ash about the new Hoenn region, filled with new Pokemon, gyms, and the Ever Grande League, a new championship that Ash could win. Ash said he was interested and said he would leave the next day. Brock said that he would join him, but the two of them were heartbroken to realize that Misty would not be able to join them on this journey; she was called back to the Cerulean Gym. She gave the two of them a heartfelt goodbye, saying that she had enjoyed every second of their travels together. She gave both of them a hug and was off, back to Cerulean City, all by herself.

The next day Ash and Brock boarded a ferry that was headed to Littleroot Town, the town that Oak had told them to go to first. There they quickly met Professor Birch, an associate of Oak's, who gave Ash his Hoenn Pokedex. From Littleroot, the two of them were on their way to Odale Town, their first stop on their way to Rustboro City, where the first gym was. On their way to Odale Town Ash and Brock met May, a young 13 year old trainer who was starting out her journey to win every Pokemon Contest in Hoenn. She had long coffee colored hair, navy colored eyes, a tan similar to Ash's, and she wore a red shirt and hat, but had black pants. She was nervous, excited, but most importantly she was ready to learn about Pokemon; after getting acquainted with Brock and Ash she revealed to them that she was the daughter of Professor Birch, a fact that shocked Brock and Ash to their cores. Also accompanying May was her little 9 year old brother Max. He was very short, had a voice that made him sound a little like a nerd, wore big black glasses, and had navy blue hair color. He was also the son of Professor Birch, which shocked Ash and Brock even more since the child looked nothing like him. Despite his young age, Max knew a lot about the world of Pokemon; the reason why he was on the journey with May was so that he could help her out, since she was too nervous to succeed at anything by herself.

The four of them all became friends shortly after meeting and made their way to Odale Town. In Odale Town they all decided to travel together around Hoenn together and to fulfill everyone's goals; Ash would challenge the eight gyms, May would compete in the Pokemon Contests, and Max and Brock would learn more about the Pokemon of the region. The four of them made their way out of Odale Town and headed to Rustboro where Ash challenged the gym and won his first Hoenn badge. From there the four of them traveled around the Hoenn region, getting gym badges and contest ribbons. The four of them were now in Verdanturf Town, where May would enter her second contest. All of them were hanging out in the lobby of the Pokemon Center where the three boys were trying to excite May about her contest.

"You and Torchic can do this, May!" exclaimed Max, rubbing his sister on the back.

"Yeah, May don't sweat it, you're gonna do great!" cheered on Ash.

"Will you guys quiet down?" snapped back May, "all of you guys being loud makes me nervous."

"Oh sorry," whispered Max to annoy May, "you're gonna do really great."

The three of them circled around May, chanting her name and rooting her on; All of this stopped when May heard a familiar voice.

"Well if it isn't May! Long time no see," said the voice. May jumped out of her seat and looked all around her to see where the voice came from. She looked around the shoulder of Brock and saw the source of the voice.

"Brendan!" she exclaimed happily, "I haven't seen you in for ever!"

May rushed over to the boy and wrapped her arms around him to give a hug. Ash, Brock, and Max turned around to look at the stranger. What Ash saw was perhaps to most beautiful boy that he had ever laid eyes on. His heart skipped a beat and he lost all feeling in his head. Ash looked at the new boy from every angle he possibly could. The boy had oak colored hair which he kept underneath a white hat; his eyes were the deepest cerulean blue that Ash had ever seen. He felt that if he looked too long into those eyes that he would lose himself to them forever. The combination of the oak hair and the cerulean eyes was the most pleasing thing that Ash had seen in a while. He could only stare at the rich colors on the boy and blush. The boy also had a tan the level of Ash's; he had been turned bronze from the warm Hoenn sun. This boy also wore a tight red and black shirt and black shorts that wrapped themselves around the muscular physique of the boy. Ash noticed every detail on the boy's body. He couldn't help but stare at the eye candy. May noticed Ash staring at him and snapped her fingers at him.

"Earth to Ash!" May said, "what are you looking at?"

Ash got out of it and looked around at everyone, blushing and rubbing the back of his head.

"Oh, sorry," he chuckled, "just thinking about something."

"Hmm, yeah I'm sure," replied May sarcastically, "well anyway, Brock, Ash, this is my best friend Brendan. We knew each other back in Littleroot for a while."

"Hi nice to meet you guys!" said Brendan introducing himself. He gave a smile to everyone, showing off his ivory colored teeth.

"Nice to meet you," said Brock smiling back at Brendan.

"Nice to meet you too," stated Ash, "my name is Ash. I just turned 14 a week ago and I'm from Kanto originally, but I'm here now to take on the Ever Grande League."

"No way!" started Brendan, "I just turned 14 too, and I challenged the Ever Grande League about a year ago after I started my journey here in Hoenn."

"Haha nice, how did you do?" Ash inquired curiously.

"I placed top 32, so not that good," Brendan answered, rubbing the back of his head, "so May, you finally decided to leave Littleroot, huh?"

May blushed.

"Yeah, I finally got the courage to ask my dad if I could leave, and he said I could if I brought Max to help me," she answered.

"Haha, I bet without Max you wouldn't have made it past Petalburg!" laughed Brendan.

"I agree with that," said Max bluntly.

"Shut up Max, I would've gotten here... eventually," said May.

"So are you challenging gyms like Ash?" Brendan asked.

"No, I'm doing Pokemon Contests. I met Ash and Brock and we all decided to travel together and it seems to have worked out okay," May responded, "hey Brendan, what are you doing today? Maybe you could come and watch me compete?"

"Yeah maybe I should!" started Brendan excitedly, "I was passing through here on my way to Mauville City, but I could stay here and watch you."

"I think you should," stated Ash, who was excited at the chance to see more of Brendan at all.

"The more the merrier," chimed Brock with a smile.

"Haha, okay, okay, I'll do it," Brendan laughed, "what time does it start?"

May paused and looked at the clock on her PokeNav.

"Oh shoot!" she shouted, "the competitors are supposed to be there in five minutes. Brock can tell you when it starts. I need to get there now!"

May rushed out of the Pokemon Center and headed towards the contest hall, leaving the four of them behind. They all couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, May hasn't changed at all," Brendan chuckled.

"Well, the contest starts in half and hour," stated Brock, "what should we do in the meantime?"

"Good question," replied Max.

"I'm kinda hungry," said Brendan, rubbing his belly, "maybe we should get some food?"

"I'll join you," Ash said.

"Well me and Max ate a little while ago," told Brock, "maybe you two go get some food, and me and Max go get some berries from that farm we passed, then we all meet at the contest hall in thirty minutes?"

"Sounds good to me," said Ash, "what about you Brendan?"

"Sounds great to me!" affirmed Brendan with a beaming smile. Ash smiled back and felt warm inside. He loved seeing Brendan smile like that.

Max and Brock left the Pokemon Center first, then Ash and Brendan. Ash and Brendan headed east towards the downtown area to find something to eat. They found a sushi bar and headed in. Both of them got two spicy sushi rolls, discovering that they both had the same taste in sushi. They got a seat outside of the sushi bar to enjoy the weather. It was mid-April and the spring sun was warming up the Hoenn region. There was no breeze and very thin, vanilla colored clouds were placed, seemingly methodically, across the teal sky. To Ash, the faded yellow sun shined a nice light on Brendan. His bronze skin glistened, and there was an irresistible shimmer in Brendan's cerulean eyes. Ash also noticed Brendan's eating habits; he noticed the way that Brendan wrapped his lips around the sliced of sushi. It simultaneously made him chuckle and blush at the same time. Ash enjoyed getting to know Brendan more while the two ate lunch together.

"So what do you think about, May?" asked Brendan curiously, picking up a piece of sushi with his chopsticks.

"She's a great friend... one of the best I have ever made. I'm glad I got to meet her while here," Ash said, "but, there's something about her?"

"Like what?" inquired Brendan whose interest was even more piqued.

"I don't, it's seems like she likes me more than I like her? If that makes sense?"

"So she's into you, but you're not into her?"

"Yeah, I'm not into her... I'm not like that."

Ash choked on his last few words, feeling like he said too much. He looked over at Brendan who had an amused look on his face. Ash had definitely said too much.

"I love May. She means so much to me. When I moved to Littleroot when I was 11 it was a hard time for me. I was new to that town and I learned something about myself that I wasn't ready to share with anyone yet and I didn't really like that part about me. She helped me with that, and now I am okay with who I am. May is my best friend."

"I'm glad she's with me on my journey through Hoenn. She's taught me so much."

Brendan paused the conversation. His eyes playfully looked left, then right, then they fixed themselves on Ash; he gave the crow-haired boy a happy smile.

"What do you say we miss out on May's contest?" asked Brendan.

"What!?" laughed a confused Ash, "you were just saying how much she meant to you."

"Yeah I know," Brendan replied with a smirk, "but I've known May for a while now... I wanna get to know you better, Ash. If that's okay with you?"

Ash's heart began to beat a little faster. He seemingly contemplated the offer, but there was no need to; he already knew what he was going to say.

"That's okay with me," responded Ash with a confident smile. Ash and Brendan both smiled at each other and left the sushi bar. Ash followed after Brendan who confidently walked west, towards the mountains.

"Where are we going?" asked an intrigued Ash.

"We're gonna take a hike, up into the mountains. I know a beautiful spot. When you've been traveling around Hoenn as long as me you discover some nice places to go," retorted Brendan confidently. Ash was beginning to love that about Brendan. How confident he was; it made him feel secure when he was around him.

"Make sure you watch out on the way up there," Brendan added, "there's a lot of extremely aggressive Loudred on the way we are going up."

The two of them made their way out of Verdanturf Town and got on a trail that lead up into the mountains. A little way up the mountains, Ash began struggling with the incline that they faced. Back in Kanto, there wasn't much in the way of mountains that Ash had to face. He was beginning to breath hard and sweat; he felt so embarrassed and out of shape. Brendan turned around and playfully smirked at Ash.

"Do you need to me to carry you up there?" Brendan chuckled. Ash paused and looked at him with an awkward smile. He almost wanted to say yes; he thought that Brendan could definitely do it, and it would give Ash a chance to feel Brendan's physique.

"Nah I think I can make it," said Ash almost satirically. The two of them continued their way up. For all of the struggling that Ash was enduring, he couldn't help but appreciate all of the beauty that surrounded him. The sky was a pleasant baby blue and the exotic trees, a rich viridian color could bountifully be found. Ash continued to enjoy the view the more the two of them climbed up. Eventually Brendan, who had been leading the way, stepped off the path and headed in an area of verdant, green trees.

"Follow me this way, Ash" said Brendan, "we are almost at our destination."

Ash followed and the two of them made their way through through the viridian trees, until a couple minutes later they found a clearing. Brendan and Ash walked out of the dense trees into the middle of the clearing. The clearing was a large cliff that expanded for at least four hundred feet. Ash saw the most beautiful view he had ever seen on that cliff. What he saw was a sweeping, majestic view of the western half of the Hoenn region. He saw in the far off distance Rustboro City and the coastline that the city was seated on. He saw so much verdant green all around him. He could see gigantic flock of flying Pokemon fly south. The yellow sun was now beginning to set, casting a radiant light on the mountain side. Up on this cliff Ash felt at peace for the first time in a long while.

"Pretty nice view, right?" asked Brendan with a smile, peering over at Ash to see the expression on his face.

"Yeah... I've never seen anything like this. It's almost overwhelming," replied Ash somberly.

"I love the Hoenn region. Even after challenging the Ever Grande League I still want to travel Hoenn to find every spot of beauty. This place is truly my home," stated Brendan staring out at the view. The two of them stopped the discourse and took in the full beauty of the view. They soaked in every detail that they laid their eyes on. They moved back away from the edge of the cliff. A minute later Brendan spoke again.

"How do you feel up here?" he asked softly.

"At peace... invincible..." replied Ash. He looked over to Brendan who was smiling lovingly at him. He could feel something rising inside him. "When the wind blows on me I feel incredible, like I can almost do anything."

Brendan kept on smiling. What Ash didn't know was that the same thing was rising inside Brendan too.

"If you feel like you can do anything, what are you gonna do?" Brendan asked. He moved an little closer to Ash.

"I don't know... but I feel something inside me... I don't know what it is."

"I feel something too."

This time Ash moved closer. They were now facing each other and only arm's reach apart.

"I feel amazing up here. I haven't felt like this in a long time," stated Ash.

The two boys looked deep into each other's eyes. They stared long into each other's souls, and looked over their hearts. They felt at one with each other, as if their hearts were beating together; they could feel each other's heat. Brendan tilted his head forward and Ash did the same. Both boys turned their heads and locked lips. Brendan wrapped his arms around Ash's waist, and placed his hands right above Ash's ass. Ash's arms were around Brendan's muscular shoulder blades. The two boys kissed lovingly for several fleeting moments, having their tender tongues dance together in fluid motion. Brendan took his head away from Ash and began removing his shirt. He took it off and showed off to Ash his toned physique that Ash had wanted to see. Brendan took off Ash's hat then his shirt. Brendan eyes Ash's bronze body and his pink nipples. He smiled; Brendan enjoyed what he saw. Ash began kissing Brendan's neck, slowly moving down Brendan's body. Brendan rubbed the back of Ash's head, and closed his eyes.

Ash kissed Brendan's navel and massaged his thighs. Ash pulled his head away and began pulling off Brendan's shorts. The shorts were completely removed and all that was left was Brendan's tight boxer-briefs. Ash noticed the biggest bulge he had ever seen hiding inside Brendan's underwear. The bulge seemed like it was begging to come out; Ash began and nibbling on the outline of the balls. He placed his hand on Brendan's hands and began peeling off the tight underwear. The underwear was off, and Brendan's erection was now exposed. Brendan possessed the largest member that Ash had ever seen at that point. Brendan's erect cock was seven and a half inches. It was a very light tan and was uncircumcised like all boys in the Hoenn region. Brendan's balls hung low and were nearly as big as lemons. Ash could not believe what he was seeing; the mere sight of Brendan's member made his mouth water. Ash had heard that the men and boys in Hoenn had the largest penises in the world, but he didn't believe it until now. Ash pulled back the foreskin, revealing the pink head. He grabbed the member with one hand and placed his moist mouth on the top half of the hard cock.

Ash began bobbing his head back and forth, sliding his mouth on Brendan's dick, trying as hard as he could to take all of it. Ash expertly used his tongue to lick the most sensitive parts of the member. He peered up at Brendan, who tossed his head back, enjoying each time Ash's mouth glided over his warm cock. Brendan rubbed the top of Ash's head with one hand, and with the other he caressed Ash's cheek. The feeling of Brendan's hand on his cheek made Ash feel comforted. After a few more moments Brendan pulled Ash's head off and used his strength to pull Ash off the ground. Ash's legs wrapped around Brendan's torso and his arms were around Brendan's shoulders. Brendan firmly held Ash's body his arms. He used one hand to guide his penis in Ash's tight asshole. Brendan began thrusting his penis up and down, using it to venture deep into untouched parts of Ash's tight hole. The tightness felt amazing to Brendan who couldn't help but begin to moan. Ash's five and a half inch penis was the hardest it had ever been; it felt amazing without Ash even touching it.

"Ah, ah," moaned Ash with glee, "I've never been fucked like this."

"Everyone has to once in their life," Brendan moaned back. Brendan was now beginning to sweat on his chest and his forehead.

Faster and faster Brendan would thrust, hitting Ash's tender g-spot harder than it had ever been. Ash would let out soft moans of pure ecstasy each time his g-spot was hit. Brendan was now balls deep into Ash's tight hole; his cock would slide all the way in and his balls would slap harshly against Ash's ass, letting out a loud sound that no one but them could hear.

"Let me be face down, ass up," begged Ash, "it is my favorite position."

"Mine too," moaned Brendan, who pulled his penis out, and let Ash down on the ground.

Ash got down on his elbows and knees; he tilted his head down, and proceeded to let Brendan do what he needed to do. Brendan used his large hands to split apart Ash's bronze ass cheeks, showing to Brendan Ash's rosy pink hole. He used his hands to guide his seven and half inch member to the hole. Brendan slid in his whole cock into Ash and the crow-haired boy let out a loud, sensual moan. Brendan began to slowly thrust his cock back and forth and placed his hands on Ash's hips, pulling the bronze boy's body closer to him each time he would thrust. Ash grabbed his dick and began to masturbate. Brendan began to fuck Ash's ass faster, closing his eyes and enjoying every thing about Ash. Both boys were nearing their climaxes.

"Ash, I'm gonna cum," groaned Brendan, who was now massaging the area above Ash's ass cheeks.

"Cum inside me," Ash moaned back in reply, "I want to feel it in me!"

Brendan let out a few more thrusts, and then he came, letting out all of his seed in Ash's ass, some of the warm, white seed spilling out and on to the ground. Ash rubbed his hand up and down his cock until he also climaxed, shooting out the most cum he ever had. Six long, string of cum shot out of Ash's penis and fell to the ground. Ash fell to the ground and Brendan found his way next to him and laid down beside him. Ash felt at peace; he felt welcomed next to Brendan. He felt loved.

"I feel amazing," Ash stated, "like I could win the whole Ever Grande League four times over."

"Haha," laughed Brendan, "I would be there to see that. I would be there to cheer you on."

"I haven't felt this at peace in a long time," said Ash. He looked over at Brendan. "Thank you," he said softly and somberly. The two boys got into each other's arms and laid with each other until the sun was nearly gone over the horizon.

Eventually the two boys returned back to the Pokemon Center in Verdanturf Town where they found an angry May pacing around the lobby.

"There you two are!" May snapped, point at the two boys. Both of them gave a small smile at each other. "I thought you two were supposed to be at my contest! What happened to that!"

"Oh sorry, May" started Brendan with playful chuckle, "I thought that I would show Ash around at some nice spots in Hoenn. I think he enjoyed it a lot."

Brendan looked over Ash. Ash's face turned crimson.

"No that's not fair!" exclaimed May, "Brendan you promised to come to my contest. You need to come to one!"

"Well maybe Brendan could travel with us until your next contest, May," Ash said, looking at the two of them, "then he will finally be able to see one. Is that okay with you Brendan?"

Ash looked Brendan with his big, caramel colored eyes. Brendan thought about what Ash had said for a few moments.

"Of course! That sounds awesome!" Brendan exclaimed. Ash had a warm sensation fill him.

The three of them talked together in the lobby for a couple hours, until they all decided to go to bed. Ash was insanely happy that Brendan would travel with them; the next day the five travelers would head out of Verdanturf and up north to the next gym. Ash, completely infatuated with Brendan, began to forget about all his previous heartache. Gary and Palette Town became only a distant memory, that would be hidden away in the back of his mind for a long time; but unfortunately for Ash they would only be hidden, but not completely lost.
