Return of the defeated (on hold)

/Part 7/

"Thank you for the warning, and we'll see you around." Ash said back waving as they turned the corner of the trail disappearing into the woods. The group continued walking for a few hours trading stories and training tips when May seen a strange pokemon come out of the bushes a head of them. "Ash what pokemon is that?" May asked quietly hoping not to scare it away.

"Its a Sewaddle, they're from Unova but they've been spreading out more now that regions have better trade paths." he explained. "Your pokedex should be updated and have to info on it if you want to know more."

"Thats right Professor Oak gave us both the new model." May pulling out her pokedex and scaning the Sewaddle.

Sewaddle, the Sewing Pokémon. Sewaddle hides from its enemies by covering its head with a hood made from a leaf, and is known to eat its leafy clothing when food is scarce.

"Sounds like a good pokemon and helpful for contest. I'm gonna catch it." she said pulling out Minccino's pokeball. "Minccino take the stage." the pokeball released a bright white light that died down revealing the brown colored pokemon. "Minccion use Swift with Thunder Wave." She called out. Minccino swung her tail releasing a shower of golden stars which mixed with the weak electricity causing them to spark and crakle. The attack hit Sewaddle who tried to dodge with String Shotbut both attacks have a zero chance of missing. The power of Swift sent the sewing pokemon across the ground, as it stood up noticable static electricty crackled over its body showing paraylsis. Knowing she had a shot, May threw a pokeball at Sewaddle, the ball bounced off the pokemon's head sucking it in with a red light. The Pokeball landed on the ground shaking three times before dinging signaling she had caught Sewaddle, May ran to collecet her new pokemon. As she shrunk the Pokeball it transfered itself back to the lab with her other pokemon.

"Congradulations May that was a great combo idea using two unavoidable moves like that." He said as he patted her shoulder.

"Thank you Ash that means a lot." May replyed while turning her head slightly hiding her blush.

They began walking once more seeing the sun slowing moving towards the horizon line. After a few hundred yards they came upon a section of the path that was completly destroyed.

"Looks like a pokemon battle happened here, and not too long ago seeing as how its still smoking." Ash said as he examined the damage. "I'm willing to bet its the Beedrill and Pinsir fighting for teritory. We better hurry so we don't get caught in a fight." As he took May's hand leading her through the wreckage. They silently hurried through woods until an explosin knocked them off their feet and throwing debri over them and dust into the air

"What was that?" May asked coughing through the dust.

"Its the Beedrill, its a huge swarm of them and they are really pissed." he said as he called out his pokemon, May stood up and doing the same. As soon as all their pokemon came out the swarm of Bedrill atracked with out mercy, they began calling out counter attacks and dogdes while trying to move down the path. While May was calling out her pokemon she didn't notice the Poison Sting and Sludge Bomb attacks coming at her back. Ash looking around the battle, seen the attacks out of the corner his eye, he dove towards May taking them full force. He cried out as he felt all the needles and poison impact his skin, May turned and saw him fall to the ground.

"Ash!" May cried out.

Grunting as he pushed himself to his knees, "We need to end this." he said in a pained voice, "Typholsin Overheat, Pidgeot Air Slash, Butterfree Silver wind, Tyranitar and Heracross Hyperbeam, Lucario Aura Sphere, Eevee Swift, Pikachu Thunder!" All of the pokemon launched their attacks together creating a blinding white beam that crashed into the Beedrill knocking them out or sending them flying into the trees. "Good job everyone, that should by us some time." Ash went to stand up but the poison took effect and he started to pass out.

May rushed to Ash as he began to fall foward catching him before he face planted into the ground. With Lucario's help they move a good distance down the path to setup camp and heal everyone's injuries. She spent the next few hours tending to everyone and giving Ash some Petcha berry with Lucario's help once more. As night began to fall she made a simple dinner, fed the pokemon and kept checking on Ash seeing that he was doing better made her smile. She put a blanket over him kissing his forehead lightly whispering good night to him. After the eventful day and adrenilne rush sleep quickly took her, while they slept Lucarion kept watch over the camp for the night.

The next morning Ash groaned as he opened his eyes, feeling the pains from the day before. He looked around his surroundings seeing that the sun was above the horizon already and all of May's and his pokemon were eating breakfast. His gaze fell upon May who was currently cooking over the fire, he couldn't help but think of how beautiful she looked in the morning sun shining off her hair. Hearing Ash's groan May looked up to see him slowly sitting up, she moved over to him helping him to an upright position. "Ash how are you feeling?" she asked worryingly.

"I'm alright May, I've been through worse." he replied with a small grin.

"Well good," she said as she slapped him upside the head "Don't do anything stupid like that again Ash, you had me so worried." He rubbed his head gingerly looking at May seeing the worry in her eyes.

"I'm sorry May, but I couldn't let you get hurt. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if it would've happened to you. I care too much about you to see anything happen to you or anyone else I care about." he said while grasping her hands in his, as he spoke their faces slowly moved closer together. When he finished talking they realized how close they were and quickly backed up with blushes covering both their faces.

Trying to ease the tension they felt Ash asked, "May how did we get here, I don't remember anything after the last attack from the pokemon?" May went on to explain how Lucario helped her move him and that the other pokemon helped find berries and over things they'd need for the night. He looked at her and couldn't help but smile and pull her into a tight hug, "Thank you May." he said gently next to her ear causing a shiver to run down her spine. She pulled out of his arms reluctantly, returning to the breakfast she had started while hiding her blush.

"Are you feeling ok to travel Ash?" May asked finally getting her face back to her normal color.

"I'm fine to go May," he said while jumping up and down while waving his arms around "I've been through worse than that." May raised an eyebrow questionably at him.

"Miss Maple I will vouch for Master Ash, he may have been injured yesterday but he has been far more injured by is own doing though." Lucario chimed in with a smirk.

"Hey they weren't all my fault some were freak accidents and don't call me master." Ash shot back to his aura partner. Lucario just shook his head with a smirk as he went back to his breakfast with the other pokemon.

May giggled at the exchange "At least I know someone was taking care of you and keeping you in line while you were away." she said then suddenly smacked him upside the head again, "That's still for leaving, you're going to get many of those from a lot other people as well. You had so many of us worried when you left." As a small tear formed in the corner of her eye, Ash gently reached out and wiped it away.

"Hey now no need to cry May, I'm here for good and I'm not leaving again." She smiled at him knowing he was telling the truth and she also knew that even of she tried she wouldn't leave his side again. After they ate their breakfast and cleaned up the campsite, they started back down the path. After walking for a few hours they finally reached the edge of the forest and stood on a hill over looking Pewter City sight of Ash's first battle on his new journey and home of May's first contest. They looked at each other with confidence in their eyes and continued into the town knowing that they were going to give it their all.
