Day 7: Final Goodbyes

It is May's final day of her visit & Ash wanted it to be special. So he called Brock in Pewter City to for help. The phone rang to what felt like an eternity, when Brock answered. "Hello?" said Brock. "Hey Brock. How are you doing?" answered Ash. "I'm fine, but bummed about my devastating defeat." he responded. "Brock I want to make May's last day with me special. Can you help?" asked the boy. "I'll be happy to."

MEANWHILE, IN ASH'S ROOM

"These days went by so fast." May thought with sadness. The next day she left to Hoenn to train for the Grand Festival. Ash walked in to hug her with all the passion he could gather. "Packing up so soon?" asked her lover. "Yeah. I have to wake up early tomorrow." she responded. The thought brought a sad expression to their faces. May put her hand on Ash's hand. "Ash I want this day to be special." May said. "I know." Ash responded. She gave him a kiss & Ash gave her the kiss back with all the passion he could. "I love you." he said. "I love you, too" she responded. They continued kissing showing each kiss enjoyed as much as possible.

30 MINUTES LATER

"Nothing better than giving advice to my old friend." said Brock as he knocked the front door. Ash answered it, shook Brock's hand & invited him inside. "Okay let's get down to business. First you have to invite May to a date." said Brock. Ash was surprised by Brocks quickness. "Wasn't I supposed to get some sort of talk about adulthood or something?" asked Ash. "Nah. I'm not your father am I?" responded Brock. "Now let's look through your wardrobe." Brock pulled out everything in his closet throwing it to the floor. "You are gonna clean this up. I feel bad when my mom has to clean up after me." said Ash. "Eureka!" said Brock as he pulled out Ash's tuxedo. "No way. I'm not taking her to a fancy restaurant." said Ash. "You are or you are not getting any help from me." said Brock. "Now the reservations." "No Brock. I'm not making the call!" yelled Ash. "Oh yes you are." countered Brock. The phone rang & rang until someone finally answered. "Good afternoon, how may I help you?"

"Umm… I would like to make a reservation." said Ash nervously. "Okay under what name, sir?"

"Ash Ketchum."

"Ah, Ash Ketchum. Since you are the Champion you get to eat at our restaurant at half price." said the waiter.

"Okay. Can you make it a 7:00 PM?"

"Of course. We'll see you at seven." said the waiter. Ash hung up. "Reservations done." said Ash with confidence. "Good now ask May on that date." said Brock. May was looking through pictures of her & Ash in the past, bringing back good & bad memories. "May?' called Ash. "What is it?" she responded as she wiped away tears. "I was wondering if you would like to go on a date tonight." May went from sadness to joy in an instant. "Thanks Ashy." she said as she ran off to get ready. 'Thanks, Brock.' Ash thought. as he ran off to get ready. They both took showers at the same time, but Ash got out first. he put on his underwear. Then he put on his dress shirt with a sort of rush. Then he put on his pants & tucked the shirt in. He then put on his belt, made his tie, & put on the jacket. He thought about combing his hair, but shook the idea when he imagined himself with combed hair. He put on his cologne & he was ready with 15 minutes to spare.

May took longer but finished just in time. The reason being is the dress was hard to put, even with Delia's help. Then she found Ash waiting for her in the living room couch. 'You look beautiful." he complimented. May blushed & grabbed Ash's hand. May got in the car in which Brock was driving. "To the fancy restaurant please." Ash requested. Brock pulled on his hat & drove. They arrived in 10 minutes. Ash & May got off the car & entered the restaurant. "Well, if it isn't Ash the Champion." said the waiter. "We have a special table for two for you & your date." The waiter led them to a nice table in the center. The couple sat down & the waiter left them menus. "I'll give you time to decide your meals." May looked at the menu. All the meals were too expensive & she didn't want to make Ash waste a lot of money. "Go ahead choose what you want" Ash said. "Are you sure? It's very expensive." "Sure. We get half off our purchase since I'm Champion." May smiled & ordered something she found interesting.

After ordering, May asked Ash about Team Rocket. "They were taken down by Lance & me." he responded. "Really?" asked an amazed May. "It all started when I infiltrated the base." Ash started. He told the whole story & May kept being amazed by each detail. "I took on Giovanni & beat Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, & Giratina. They locked him up in jail & he is still in." Ash ended. "Wow." said May in amazement. "Here's your food Mister & Miss" said the waiter. It looked delicious & warm. "Let's eat this like the people here." suggested Ash. "Okay." agreed May. They ate their food as they talked about adventures they had when they parted ways. "So Max captured Jirachi?" asked Ash surprised. "Yup." she responded. Then Ash told about how he battled Cynthia during a visit & beat her. "And Cynthia is supposed to be the strongest Champion from all regions." commented May finishing her meal. The couple enjoyed the main course. Then they went home. "Thanks Ash for making tonight special." May thanked. Ash blushed & said "No problem May." They undressed & went to bed.

THE FOLLOWING DAY

"Call for passengers to Hoenn." said the captain. "Well Ash, I guess this is it." said May with a sad smile. "Yeah. I had a good time." said Ash. "Good luck in the Grand Festival." "Thanks" she responded giving him a last kiss. Tears swelled in their eyes & they hugged. May got on the ferry & it drifted away to Hoenn. "Bye. I love you!" yelled May blowing Ash a kiss. "I love you too." Ash said. When the ferry disappeared, Ash broke into tears. "I always will love you." he said. May also couldn't help but cry. Ash loved her & she loved him back. "But someday they will meet again, I promise" she said. They both went home with each other in mind.

THE END. THE MOST IMPORTANT CHAPTER IS THE LONGEST. ANYWAY I'M TAKING A BREAK FOR A WHILE, SO LEAVE A REVIEW. ALL FLAMES WILL BE IGNORED.
