You Are The Only One. Ash, May, Max, Brock, and Pikachu were on their way to get to the boat that would take them to Mossdeep city. When Max spotted something. “Hey what’s that?” The others looked at what Max was pointing at and they saw a Misty. “Misty? What are you doing here?” Ash asked sounding confused and excited at the same time. “I was just hoping to find you guys.” They all said their hellos. May wasn’t all too thrilled about seeing Misty again. “Hey May!” “Hey Misty! How’ve you been?” “Pretty good. I just gave away more cascade badges.” “Great.” May took the fake smile off her face and asked Ash if they should just go to the pokemon center. “Well there’s a park we can go camping in instead.” “Oh okay.” They all walked to the park and began setting up camp. Soon they were all sitting by a fire. Ash was in the middle of both May and Misty. May had a whole bunch of thoughts rushing through her head. ‘Maybe I should just tell him the truth. I should just come out and say, “Ash I like you more than a friend.” Nah. That’d be too weird. I have to wait for the right moment. But what about Misty? It’s obvious that she likes Ash. She’s always flirting with him and he doesn’t even notice! I guess maybe there’s only one thing to do.’ May got out a small notebook and began writing something quickly. Then she mustered up some courage and got Ash’s attention.. “Ash?” He turned around. “Yeah May?” She took a deep breath and hugged Ash. He smiled a little and gave her a little hug in return. But he was still confused. May could see the jealousy in Misty’s eyes. “What was that for May?” “You’ll find out soon enough.” She got up and asked Max to come help her with something. She dragged him into the woods. “What do you want me to help you with May?” “Max. When you go back to that campsite, I want you to-” “Wait. What about you?” “Just let me finish. When you go back to that campsite, give this note to Ash. Ask him to read it loud. Please Max you’ll be doing me a big favor.” “Okay I’ll do it. But what about you?” “Max I need you to understand that I’m not going back.” “You’re just gonna leave? Why?” Tears started to fill May’s eyes. “You’ll understand soon enough.” She gave her brother a hug and took off into the woods. She felt bad for just abandoning everybody, but she felt that she just had to do it. Max walked back to the campsite and walked over to Ash. Tears had filled his eyes as well. “Max what’s wrong and where’s May?” “Ash. Just read this aloud.” Ash got up and went over to where Brock and Max were sitting. He began reading the note. “Dear Ash, Max, and Brock, This is very hard to write. I need you to understand every part of it. You are probably wondering where I am right now. Well I’m leaving. Brock- You are a very nice person. I’ll miss your smiling face, your cooking, and your sense of humor. Maybe I’ll see you again someday. I just don’t know when. Goodbye. Max- Since you’re my little brother, I’ll see you sometime at home. Have fun on your adventure with Ash and Brock. Goodbye. Ash- Out of all the people in our traveling group, I’m going to miss you the most. You treated me as if I was family. You never gave up on me or got angry with me when I goofed up in a pokemon battle. You encouraged me saying that I can become a contest Co-ordinator. And we even argued a few times like siblings. I love you from the bottom of my heart and I never want to lose you. Of course now I’m leaving and I’ll probably never see you again. I hope you achieve your goal of becoming Pokemon Master and I hope you’ll never have another friend like me because I’ll NEVER meet anyone as nice and as sweet and as innocent as you. Goodbye. I’ll miss you all. Love Always, May.” Now both Ash and Brock started to tear up. Ash turned his head and began crying. His hat was covering his eyes, but you could still see the tears streaming down his cheeks. Misty walked up to him. She had a small smile on her face. “Cheer up Ash. I know May’s gone but you can travel with me again. Ash? Ash look at me!” “No! I don’t want to travel with anyone else anymore!” Ash ran away into the woods and started screaming May’s name between sobs. Pikachu began running after him. Max, Brock and Misty could hear him screaming all the way from the campsite. “MAY!! MAY WHERE ARE YOU!?” Ash got on his hands and knees catching some breath. Pikachu came over to him and began licking his arm. Ash didn’t say anything. He just stayed there and let tears drip down his face. A while, later he picked Pikachu up and walked over to a tree. He sat down, his back against it. He held Pikachu close to him and began sobbing again. It started raining, which got Ash and Pikachu all wet. “Why Pikachu? Why did she leave? Why’d she have to go!?!” “Pika, Pikachu Pi.” (I don’t know Ash.) Ash dried his tears and sat beside the tree, holding Pikachu against him. Soon, he heard unfamiliar sobbing. He got up and walked a little while and then he saw May sitting by a tree sobbing. “May?” May turned around. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as well. “Ash? Why? Were you the one shouting my name?” Ash nodded his head. He still had tears dripping down his face as well. He put Pikachu down and walked over to May and sat beside her. “Why’d ya leave?” “Because. I had to.” “Why’d ya have to?” “Because things haven’t been to easy. Now with Misty here, she’ll just keep flirting with you and I’ll be left in the dust.” “Oh. I never noticed that.” “Well open your eyes. It’s really obvious that she likes you.” “I feel pretty dumb.” “It’s no reason to feel dumb.” “It kind of is.” “And why is that?” Ash turned around to face May and looked deep into her eyes. “Promise me, that you’ll never leave again. Please, I just couldn’t stand to lose you.” “I swear. I’ll never run away again.” Ash pulled May into his arms and whispered thank you over and over again. This time, tears of joy began running down both their faces. Pikachu rolled his eyes and ran over to the both of them. “Pika Pi Pikachu!” (Just kiss her Ash! After all, you do like her!) “Pikachu!” “Pika, Pika.” (You know you wanna!) “Pikachu! Please.” Pikachu rolled his eyes again. “Pikachu Pika Pi!” (JUST ADMIT IT KETCHUM!) “Fine! You win Pikachu.” Ash took a deep breath. And mumbled something under his breath. “Pika Pikachu?” (What was that?) “I said that I…I like you May!” “Pika Pi. Pikachu?” (Much better. Now May?) “I like you too.” “Pika Pi….” (Now Ash. What do you do now?) Ash turned red with embarrassment. “Pikachu. Please stop it!” “Pika, Pika!” (You kiss of course!) “Pikachu!” “Pi…!!” (Ash…!!) “Pikachu. You can’t just well….. kiss somebody automatically. You have to wait for the right moment.” “Ash. This is the right moment. At least I think it is.” May said. Ash smiled. “You’re right May.” They both leaned in closer until their lips met. Neither of them wanted to let go. The rain stopped, and they all went back to the camp site where they dried off told everyone the great news. Of course Misty didn’t think it was too great. She was pretty furious. But this is my story! I don’t have to make Misty happy for them. (lol) The End. Okay. I know this story isn’t an Ash and Misty romance story but hey someone has to write a few stories between Ash and May. Of course I do because I like Ash and May love. No offence to Misty or any Ash and Misty shippers of course but in my opinion, Ash and May make a better couple. ^_~
