Return of the defeated (on hold)

/Part 12/

May's cheeks flushed at the comment, "Thank you Ash, I appreciate the compliment." She gently kissed his cheek and went over to her bed. She picked Glaceon up and set her on her lap and lightly scratched her ears with a happy smile on her face

Ash stood to go get cleaned up for the night lightly touching the place May kissed his cheek. Once he was changed we walked out and seen May laying down fighting to stay awake. He chuckled lightly and he walked over and gently placed her blankets over her.

"Get some sleep May, we've had a big day. I'll see you in the morning. Sleep tight and have sweet dreams. I love you."

"Ash I love you too." she replied as lifted her head and they softly kissed each other letting their emotions be felt through it. "Goodnight Ash."

Ash laid on his bed happy and excited for whatever adventures May and him would share as a couple. Pikachu jumped up next to Ash's head and curled up having said goodnight to Glaceon who cuddled up with May.

He cast a sleepy glance at his best friend and thought 'Its about time Ash, I knew you could figure it out eventually.' Lucario and Meowth shared smile at the happiness of their trainer and friends before settling in for the night.

The next morning May was the first to wake up, she could feel the slight chill coming from Glaceon. She stroked her faithful ice type, as she let her eyes clear and wander around the room until they rested on Ash as he slept. She was amazed that even asleep he could make her heart flutter and burn with passion. May stood up stretching as she did, letting a groan out at the same time. Hearing May's movements, Ash's eyes slowly opened he was greeted with the sight of seeing May's exposed firm stomach. He tore his gaze away and looked at her face and smiled.

"Good morning beautiful." Ash said with a sleepy voice. "Did you sleep good May?"

"Yes I did, how about you Ash?" she asked as she softly kissed his forehead.

"I did May." He replied as he kissed her hand, as she head to the bathroom to clean up for the morning.

Once May was finished up, Ash went and got changed for their exercise routine. Once they got outside, they did a brief warm up, they started out on a light jog. Lucario and Meowth followed behind the pair while Pikachu was to the side of Ash and Glaceon was to the side of May. After about forty five minutes of jogging the group returned to the Pokemon Center and made their way to the training fields. They released all their pokemon and began a light training session, after the battle from the previous day they wanted everyone to take it easy. Ash approached his pokemon and watched how his Ralts was getting along with his other pokemon. Ash had sent Noivern back the lab while May sent her Sawsbuck back so they could keep their Ralts with them with them for a little bit.

"Sceptile," Ash approached his fully evolved Hoenn starter, "Are you up to battle today after yesterday? I know you're strong I just don't want you to injure yourself."

"Scep sceptile (You doubt me)?"He said playfully hitting Ash upside his head.

Ash chuckled at his pokemon,"Of coarse I don't, I'm just asking your opinion. If you say you're good then it's time to get the rest of the team ready." Ash recalled his pokemon minus Pikachu and Lucario and told May he was going to change his team around. Before returning the young Ralts Ash explained what he was doing and as soon as the battle was over he'd bring him back. A few minutes after he went into the center May called her pokemon back as well so they could head to the gym. As Nurse Joy handed back her pokemon Ash came around the corner clipping the poke ball to his belt. The couple went back to their room and got cleaned up before heading out.
