This one struck me in the face, quite literally. I was just lying in bed last night, trying to think of a good song for a songfic because they look nice and there are some which fit certain themes too well. Most of the songs I love aren't really cut out for fanfiction or anything to really do with romance but this one really stands out used the right way, they hit the nail right on the head. So without further ado, I present to you Decision Pending. Oh do check out the song I use here, Learn to Fly. C'est très génial!

I don't own Pokémon or 'Learn to fly'.

DECISION PENDING

'Run and tell all of the angels

This could take all night

Think I need a devil to help me get things right'

May did not know. Should she have left for Johto on her own? Was it the right choice to make? She missed Ash so much, it hurt her heart. A devil indeed could only make things up, considering that she left him just for her rivals in Johto. A bigger than challenge than Sinnoh undoubtedly. What was she to do?

'Hook me up a new revolution

'Cause this one is a lie

We sat around laughing and watched the last one die'

Now that she was here, she knew that following her rivals was arguably the dumbest lie in the books. Old memories tugged her mind as she reminisced the cherished Terracotta Contest. Half a ribbon may not seem like much but to May, this was more valuable than any treasure in the world. A true physical object that could actually show the deep bonds that Ash and she had created. The only entity that remotely held the potential of showing how close they were.

'Now I'm looking to the sky to save me

Looking for a sign of life

Looking for something to help me burn out bright'

May sighed and looked into the vast infiniteness of the skies that went past her day by day. Something to get her out of her misery from losing Ash. The boy who taught her everything she knew about Pokémon. The one who was always by her side, helping her, shielding her and even standing up for her. His fiery passion and desire for adventure allowed May's flame to grow larger and larger till she became a force to reckon with in any Contest or Grand Festival.

'I'm looking for a complication

Looking 'cause I'm tired of lying

Make my way back home when I learn to fly high.'

An opportunity, she realised. That was she was looking for. To go and meet Ash. To hug him, kiss him, hold him so he never let go. The lie was old. She wanted to be raised by the one who took her under his wing and taught her not to be afraid when spreading her wings. He taught her to fly and explore the vast skies beyond.

'I think I'm done nursing the patience

It can wait one night

I'd give it all away if you give me one last try'

She was done waiting, wallowing in her sorrows. She had to strike, while the iron was hot, otherwise he would be taken away forever from her life. She was so desperate; she would have gladly swum across to Sinnoh if someone said that was the only way to get there. All she desired was a chance.

'We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life

Run and tell the angels that everything's alright...'

May remembered the times when he was always there for her. Teasing from Drew, embarrassment from Harley, the loss at the Hoenn Grand Festival…She even recalled the time when he almost died trying to save Manaphy, Pikachu and her from drowning in the Samiya. She felt tears fall from her face onto her hands below. She quickly dried them and composed herself, even though the pain was biting hard on her.

'I'm looking to the sky to save me

Looking for a sign of life

Looking for something to help me burn out bright

I'm looking for a complication'

Looking back at the sky, May recollected something her mother always said: 'Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.' And that was she intended to do. She tried putting on a smile but it immediately dropped, at the memory of the boy who stole her heart.

'Looking 'cause I'm tired of trying

Make my way back home when I learn to fly high.

Make my way back home when I learn to...'

Love. That was the dense, raven-haired wannabe Pokémon master to her to do. Admittedly she was shocked with the realization, but soon came to terms with it. May cried herself to sleep at this feeling of brokenness with just one recurring thought in her mind.

Princess of Hoenn she may be but, she missed her Knight in Shining Armour.

I honestly do not know why I wrote this kind of a fic. The thought of loss, especially to this beautiful couple is just heart-breaking. Nevertheless, I have written this so this must go online.

If you read the lyrics online or heard the song, you may have noticed that I did not use the whole song. This was because it is a little tedious to do so and it just gets boring if I cover the whole song. Yet, if you think I should use the whole song, leave a review, letting me know so that I will use the whole song. Also let me know if you this to be a sequel or want me to make a collection of one shots with The Forsaken included.

So for now, peace out and please R&R!
