Richie went to sleep with large thoughts of kissing the girl next to him. They both fell asleep at about the same time. His Sparky lay next to Ash's in a blue thunderbolt sleeping bag like Pikachu's yellow one. He wished the girl goodnight and fell asleep.

He awoke in a bed covered with a white sheet like a hotel. He didn't recall being moved. He got up and looked around this new setting. A red and white pokeball lay next to the bed. He released it. A confused Torchick came out. Upon seeing him it looked more confused. He turned to take off his pajamas. He found out why Torchick was confused. He was that beautiful girl, he was May.

He meditated this as he took a shower in her room. If I'm May in the past is she me in the past as well? He went stumbling in her backpack to find her clothes. He did and with ease as he stared at her doing her hair and makeup every morning he looked even more like May. He decided to call his cell.

May awoke to a phone ringing loudly and a pikachu with unkempt fur tugging at her bag. 'Only Sparky' May thought. She picked up the phone.

"May?" Asked her voice.

"Yes?" She asked suddenly aware of her surroundings. She nearly fainted. "Is that you Richie?"

"Yeah, it appears we switched bodies and are now at the same time Ash became a trainer."

"So you're me." May asked fairly confused.

"Yes, uh, May where am I?" He said amazed at the softness of his voice.

"Far Western Johto. Where am I?"

"Celedon City. Is Sparky there?"

"Yeah," She said looking at Sparky jump into the backpack, "he seems to remember the past slash future. Is Torchick ok?" She said worried as she nuzzled the messy fur.

"The same." He said as the bird was hopping from one knee to the other.

"We should try to meet up." May said, "So we try to get back."

"Yeah, go to this old mansion on the outskirts of Fuchsia City. With my butterfree."

"Richie, from what this looks like you got Sparky only a day ago and no butterfree."

"Why?"

"You know he hates pokeballs and plus he isn't carrying his sweet and sour sauce. Crazy mouse." May said picking up a pokeball broken from the inside.

"Oh." He said fondly remembering how Sparky usually carried a bottle of the orange mixture which he and Pikachu fought over whose sauce was better.

"What the?" May said as a butterfree, charmander, and the rest of Richie's pokemon walked into her camp. They remember too? "Richie, I'll take you up on the offer."

"Ok, I'll ask later. Get there asap. I'm leaving now on you bike." Richie said in questionable tone.

"Don't break it or I may pull a Misty." May joked.

"K," he said smiling with a note of worry, "the race starts now." He hung up. May captured all of Richie's pokemon and then released and explained. She held onto butterfree's back and flew and a painfully dazzling speed and seemed to teleport when Butterfree concentrated.

She was hovering over a mansion when she saw herself pedal up with a broken bicycle. She landed and smiled.

"Richie? Who did you get here so fast?" May asked very confused as she saw a very weary Torchick.

"Well, I found out why no know uses a Torchick propelling system." He said with an embarrassed giggle. May sweatdroped.

"You're telling me you traveled over 5000 miles in three hours?"

"Was I supposed to know a compressed fireblast would have such a backwards momentum? The worst part was the flying." May slapped herself.

"What?"

_____part two concluded

ok i really like Richie and may. them and duplica are my favorite characters. pretty short this time huh? also i know May is a new trainer when she meets ash but let's say she didn't battle until then. note why am i telling you this? next part soon.

three things one: the thunderbolt sleeping bag was created by Togepretty in Mater of the Unexpected
second: who has a old mansion near fuchsia city? hmm.
third: the sweet and sour sauce was my play on pikachu's addiction to ketchup.
