Pokémon Return of Champion Chap 5 Reveal
Ash was the first one to wake up the next morning, and he remembered what happened last night, Guilt washed over him. He remembered that May had told him how badly he missed Ash, how depressed she became, how she didn't even know about the betrayal, and worst of all, she had cut herself, and that broke his heart that she cut herself over him, and that made him feel guilty.
Ash got dressed into a workout attire. Since Ash had left, he has begun working a lot more and gets up early to work out. And went outside to begin working out, He started with a run around town, He then did some pushups and other exercises, finally he was sparring with Lucario. "Something bothering you, Master?" Lucario asked him, sensing his distress.
Ash let out a sigh. "Last night I found out May didn't know or was a part of the betrayal." Ash confessed to Lucario.
Lucario's eyes widened at the revelation. "Really Master?" Lucario asked him.
"Yeah, and she told me she cut herself because of me, and I'm feeling guilty," Ash replied.
"I'm sorry to hear that, Master," Lucario told him.
"It's alright, but do you think I should tell her?" Ash asked Lucario.
"Yeah, I think you should, Master; you don't want to hurt her anymore or feel guilty, do you?" Lucario asked.
Ash smiled. "You're right, Lucario, thanks." He thanked his Pokémon.
"No problem, Master," Lucario replied.
Their sparring session was interrupted by a familiar voice. "Hello Ketchum," The voice said.
Ash didn't need to turn around to know it was, it was his former rival in Sinnoh, Paul. "I don't know what you're talking about," Ash tried to play it off.
"I know it's you, Ketchum," Paul sneered.
Ash turned around and let out a sigh of defeat. "Okay, you caught me; what do you want?" Ash asked him.
"I just saw you here, and I wanted to tell you that I'm on your side," Paul told him.
Ash looked at Paul with a look of shock on his side "You're on my side?" Ash asked with confusion in his voice.
"Yeah, I don't think it was right for the traitors to turn their back on you," Paul said to him.
Ash smiled. "Well, it's good you have on my side." he told him.
Paul smiled back. "Well, at least you have one person on your side," Paul said.
"Well actually, I caught up with May last night, and she told me that she didn't know about the betrayal," Ash told him.
Paul's eye widened. "Wow, how didn't she know?" Paul asked Ash.
"She said that she had a gym leader meeting with her dad, so she arrived late at the party," Ash replied.
"Does she know it's you?" Paul asked another question.
"No, not yet, but I plan on telling her," Ash replied.
The conversation was interrupted by another familiar voice, but it was one Ash didn't want to hear. "Paulie," The voice said.
Ash knew it was one of the traitors and glared at her, and Dawn gave him a hug while Paul glared at her. "I told you not to call me that, and I told you to stay away from me," Paul said coldly.
He shoved Dawn off of him, and her eyes wandered off to Aaron, and she began staring at him in workout attire, and she began to drool over him. Aaron rolled his eyes. Why did this have to happen to him, and why did It have to be one of the traitors? "Who's your hot friend?" Dawn asked, in a seductive tone.
"Not interested," Aaron was quick to reply.
"Aww.. C'mon, don't you want some of this?" Dawn asked in a very seductive tone.
Aaron scoffed and then smirked. "No thank you; I don't date sluts," He said.
Paul held back his laughter, and Dawn glared at Aaron and gave him a slap, before running off. Once she was gone, Ash and Paul busted out in laughter, and after the interaction, Ash said goodbye to Paul and went back to his hotel, to check and see if May was awake yet or not. Once inside in the hotel room, He opened the door to where May was lying, and he saw she was resting. He lingered a few seconds, watching May sleep; she looked so cute and peaceful in her sleep.
He then saw May stirring in her sleep, and he saw her eyes open, and she let out a groan, as her head was throbbing with pain. "Moring sleeping beauty," Aaron joked with her.
May looked rough; her hair was a mess, as she had a bad case of bedhead, and her eyes were still adjusting to being woken up, and she would let out groans of pain. She had a really bad headache, and she couldn't remember a whole lot of last night. "What happened last night?" She asked Aaron.
"You got drunk last night," Aaron replied.
"I didn't do anything embarrassing, did I?" May asked, hesitating, if she had done anything embarrassing last night.
Aaron blushed, and May also blushed. "I did, didn't I?" She asked, while blushing, dreading on what she had done.
Aaron nervously chuckled. "Well, let's just say you get handsy when you're drunk," Aaron said.
May let out another groan. "Sorry" She mumbled an apology.
Aaron let out another chuckle. "It's no problem," He told her.
Aaron then went into the kitchen and got her a cup of water and got Ibuprofen pills to help with the hangover. He handed the cup of water and pills over to her, and she put the pills in her mouth. She quickly gulped down the water, while swallowing the pills. "Feeling better?" Aaron asked her.
"Some" She replied, with a slight headache.
"I take it you don't drink too often?" Aaron asked her.
"Yeah, I haven't gotten drunk in a long time." May replied.
May then realized she didn't have any change of clothes. Aaron looked at her quizzically and asked, "Something wrong?" Aaron asked her, as he seemed to notice her looking for something.
"Umm...I don't have a change of clothes." She replied nervously.
"You can borrow some of my clothes if you would like," He replied.
May blushed a very bright shade of pink. "Are you sure?" May asked, embarrassed that she might have to put on Aaron's clothes, although she didn't mind too much.
"Of course, it's no problem," He replied, and although he didn't seem nervous, he was nervous inside.
"Well...thank you." She stammered embarrassingly, blushing a bright shade of pink.
"Well, I leave you to change," He said while opening the door, but before he left, he said in a teasing manner, "Unless you want me to watch you." With that, he left, leaving a stunned and embarrassed May behind. She took a few seconds to gather herself, as she was in a mess.
May then became hot down there, as she began to think about Aaron watching her undress: "What the hell is wrong with me?" She asked herself, "I never thought of someone like this." She thought to herself, It's true; she hadn't thought of someone in this way before, well she had thought of Ash before.
It took a few more seconds for her to regather herself, as she breathed in and out. She then went to Aaron's closet and began digging through his closet, looking for some of his clothes to wear. She found a black t-shirt and sweatpants. She then undressed and put on the black t-shirt and the pair of sweatpants, and she looked at herself in the mirror. The t-shirt looked oversized on her petite frame, and the sweatpants were baggy on her. "Wow I look pretty cute," She thought to herself while checking herself out in the mirror, and she giggled.
But then a memory replayed in her mind: that time Ash had gotten mad over her taking too long to get ready and then got even more mad when she looked herself in the mirror, and they argued for nearly the whole day. Back then, she was mad at him, but now she looked back and laughed and smiled at the now fond memory, but she also felt some sadness as she missed Ash dearly and she wished she could see him now. She wiped away the tears that had formed in her eyes, looked at the mirror, smiled at herself, and took a deep breath in and out.
She then exited the room and went into the living room, where she saw Aaron sitting on the couch watching TV. She took a seat beside him. Noticing someone sitting down beside him, Aaron turned his head and saw May wearing his clothes, and he blushed, as he thought she looked pretty cute in his clothes. May also blushed as she saw Ash, and she couldn't help but stare at him, as she thought he was pretty attractive. Both of them were staring at each other, but the imitate moment was interrupted by both of their stomachs growling in unison, which caused both of them to nervously chuckle/giggle "Hungry?" Aaron asked her in a teasing manner.
May softly giggled. "Maybe a little," She joked back.
Aaron went over to the counter, grabbed the menu, and handed it over to May. "Look over the menu and order anything you like," Aaron told her.
May smiled at him and began scanning the menu. After a few seconds of looking, she decided what she wanted and told Aaron, and Aaron ordered the food. With both of them getting an assortment of breakfast foods, it took a few minutes for their food to arrive. The person who took the food to them, looked pretty shocked to see only a couple of people order this amount of food.
May and Aaron ate their food as they made small talk, with Ash still noticing that May still matched his appetite for food, As she matched his pace and was eating the same amount of food as he was. Ash always admired May; her love for food matched his own, and that was always a major reason why he loved her so much. After eating their food, Aaron noticed May's mouth was covered in maple syrup from the pancakes, and he couldn't help but chuckle at the cute sight "What?" May asked Aaron, oblivious to the maple syrup that was on her face.
Aaron chuckled again. "You've got some syrup on your face," Aaron replied.
May blushed, embarrassed at the syrup being on her face, and she quickly began to wipe away the syrup on her face. "No need to be embarrassed, May; I actually think it's pretty cute," He said.
This caused May's blush to intensify, and she began to stammer nervously, making Aaron chuckle at her cute antics, but then May suddenly remembered that she hadn't called her brother yet, to let her brother know where she was. She got out of her phone and began calling her brother's number, and after a few rings, Max picked up. "Sis, where the hell have you been?" He scolded her over the phone.
"Sorry, I got drunk last night and Aaron took me back to his hotel," May apologized, with a blush on her face.
May could hear him sniggering over the phone, and she could picture the face he was making over the phone "No like that, Max," She said, embarrassed while still blushing.
Max could only chuckle. "Are you sure?" He asked his sister in a teasing manner, causing her to blush even more.
"I'm sure," She replied.
She then quickly told her brother that she loved him and would see him later, and she hung up, to avoid teasing or embarrassment. After hanging up on her brother, she and Aaron sat on the couch, cuddled up together, and watched a movie. Both blushing heavily, but both of them enjoying the contact with the cuddling. Aaron didn't focus on the movie too much, as it was a romantic movie, but he also had May on his mind, as he thought about ways of revealing himself and he also had some dirty thoughts about and how beautiful and hot she looked, and he would steal glances at her. May was oblivious though, as she was too preoccupied with the movie and honestly found it to be cute.
"Hey Aaron, when I can I talk to Ash?" May asked him, hoping to get a chance to talk with Ash.
Aaron thought this was the perfect time to reveal his true identity to her. "Right now if you want to," Aaron replied with a smirk on his face.
May's eyes lit up, and she began jumping happily. "Really, what's his number?" She asked him with excitement in her voice.
Aaron chuckled. "You don't have to call him," He replied.
May's eyebrows raised in confusion "What do you mean?" She asked.
"He's in front of you, May."
