Chapter 2: Crazy


     It had been two weeks since May had left and the Birches were
worrying about Brendan. Ever since she had left, he had quit his
training and locked himself in his room. 

     He continuously looked at pictures of the two of them. Pictures of
the duo in wacky poses, pictures of May standing with her Pokemon,
pictures of May battling. He missed her and he was going crazy without
her.

     Every time he breathed in, he could smell her hair. Every time when
their was silence, Brendan could hear May's voice. 

     One day while Brendan was looking at a picture of May standing with
her Torchic on her shoulder (that Torchic was now a Blaziken), his
Poke'Gear rang. He thought about how dare the caller interrupt his
reminscing time and picked up. "Hello?" He answered, extremely cross.

     "Brendan, it's May," said the caller. Brendan instantly broke into
a smile. It was May!! The girl who he had been obsessed with ever since
she had left him all alone. 

    "Hi May!!" he answered cheerfully. He couldn't believe it was May.
He hadn't heard from her since the day she left. 

     "Hey!! I miss you, Bread Head!" Brendan smiled at May's nickname
for him. It felt great to hear her voice again. 

     "I miss you too! Where do you live?" May giggled. It felt wonderful
to hear Brendan say that he missed her. Her life hadn't been the same
without him. 

     "I live in Goldenrod. B-Boy, this place is like Lilycove, except
it's bigger. It has a huge department store, but it doesn't have the
dolls. It a it's own casino, but it doesn' have Roulette. It has a card
flip instead. And it offers Pokemon as prizes instead of dolls!! We have
a train here that goes to Kanto and back whenever we want to go! We have
a bike shop, but it's not as great as Rydel's. So what's been up with
you?" Brendan didn't want to answer her.

     "I've been..." Brendan paused. He couldn't tell her how miserable
his life was without her. "I've been okay. What about you? Made any new
friends?" 

     "Yeah, I have. I'm friends with the city gym leader. Her name's
Whitney. I'm also starting to get to know the Ecruteak leader. His name
is Morty!" Brendan felt a twinge of jealousy. He didn't want her to "get
to know" other guys. 

     "That's great, May!" he said, sounding a lot more excited than he
actually felt. "Are you training there?" 

     "Well, actually, I'm in school. Earl's Pokemon Academy. There are
even gym leaders from Kanto that come here! I don't believe that Kanto
has a school so the ones that are in school come here! I feel so
ordinary compared to them." May sighed and Brendan wanted to tell her
that he didn't think she was ordinary at all.

     "Awesome. I used to go to the Trainer's School in Rustbaro. I only
went for about a year though." He hated that school. God, how he hated
that school. Almost more than he hated Wally.

     "Hey, B-Boy, I got a question for you. Do you want to visit me in
Johto for a couple weeks?" Brendan couldn't believe what she said. Of
course he wanted to! More than anything else!!

     "Sure!" he said, not faking his enthusiasm. He couldn't wait!!
Because then he'd be able to see May again...

     "We'll make arrangements next time I call, okay? I got to go.
Whitney's going to let me battle  challenger in her gym!" Brendan
blinked. 

     "Okay. Bye, May! Talk to you later!" Brendan was sad to see her go.
He loved talking to her.

     "Bye Bread Head!" May said and then she hung up.

     Brendan sat with the Poke'Gear in his hands for what seemed like
forever and then he finally said, "I love you, May." But she was long
gone.
