CHAPTER 2 Yay! Hello everybody! Thanks for the review Saiyan Legend! I don't have much to say... except: Please excuse the phoniness! If I owned pokemon, May would be gone and Misty would still be here, duh. "And that ends your tour of this house. Enjoy your stay!" Delia left May to unpack her things. "You are now free to move about the country," Ash joked. "So which bedroom did you choose?" he asked. "The red one, with the private bathroom and a lock on the door," she answered. "Good," he said, "because we think the other one has an insect infestation! The other day I was stung be a Beedrill! Owww! My arm still hurts now!" He showed her a Band-Aid on his left arm. "Eeew!" May squirmed. To make miniscule matters worse, Misty'd had more than her share of traumatic experiences with Bug Pokemon. The more Satoshi and Kasumi were alike, the more likely Ash would choose Kasumi over her, May Birch. * * * "Hello there. Thank you for calling Brock the Love Doctor. I don't seem to be home right now. But if you're a beautiful woman looking for a groom, or someone who needs the assistance of a professional Love Doctor, please leave your message after the romantic music." Misty sweatdropped. "What is the world coming to?" Kasumi went back to analyzing solutions. She could write a direct, no-nonsense letter or email, although she knew the latter of which could be hacked and it couldn't be romantic enough anyway… She sighed and started again. * * * "Kids, ten minutes until dinner!" "Yeah, whatever…" Ash and May were sprawled out over the numerous couches and loveseats positioned in the Ketchum family room. The two were watching Channel 47 News. "It is way too hot!" Ash said. "And so humid!" "I'm gonna explode!" May said, going with the flow. "I wouldn't be talking if I were you! At least you have air conditioning in your room! I've got to convince Mom to buy a central air conditioner before the house melts!" he moaned. All of a sudden, a news alert popped up on the screen. May read it with increasing worry in her voice. "Forest fire destroys greenhouse and gym, people stuck inside or dead… 12 Petalburg Lane? That's my house!" she shouted. "We have to go help them!" * * * That's it! I'll submit the next couple chapters soon enough, so yah!
