3rd chapter, I forgot to update here...
Meanwhile, in the guest room of the Ketchum residence, a blue-haired coordinator got up instantly as she heard a noise. ”What happened?” she asked herself as she put on some slippers and opened the room door to the upper floor of the Ketchum residence. She was wearing a yellow and orange zip-up PJs. As she opened the door, she almost crashed into someone.
“Sorry, Dawn!” Mrs. Ketchum said, trying to excuse herself. She was wearing a white apron above a pink shirt and a blue skirt. Her brown eyes were showing worry in a way never seen before.
“No need to worry, Mrs. Ketchum!” The blue-haired coordinator said, trying to calm Ash’s mother.
“Are you hurt, dear?” Delia asked the visitor, checking the girl’s head and body for any kind of injuries.
“No, I’m not. Why did you ask?”
“Didn’t you hear the scream?” Delia questioned, intrigued.
“Yes, I did. In fact, that’s how I woke up.”Dawn explained.
“Okay, if it wasn’t you, and it wasn’t me, then… ASH!” Delia screamed, fearing for the well-being of her son.
Both Dawn and Delia ran straight to Ash’s room, worried about their travelling companion and son, respectively. They were shocked when they opened the door of Ash’s room: Ash was found lying unconscious on the floor, with Pikachu by his side, trying to wake his trainer.
The women kneeled almost immediately near Ash, on a desperate attempt to wake the boy, who did not move.
“Ash, please be fine.” Dawn, whose eyes were in the verge of tears, said, resting her head on Ash’s chest.
Delia noticed this and wrote a mental note to talk to Dawn about what she had just seen.
Suddenly, Ash woke up. As he opened his eyes, he saw his mother and his current traveling companion kneeled by his side.
“Ouch. Now I know what a toast feels like…”
These words acted as a spring on the women’s heads as they heard the boy that was lying on the ground.
“ASH!” Both Ash’s mother and the blue-haired coordinator said as they heard the Pallet trainer.
“That’s my name, don’t wear it out.” Ash said with a weak smile on his face.
“Don’t ever do that again, you hear me, young man?” Delia scolded her son.
“You heard mom, didn’t you, buddy?” The raven haired trainer asked his Pikachu, whose eyes were in the verge of tears for turning his trainer into a human toast.
“Pika pi, pikachu pika pika chu” Pikachu said as he realized he had just “toasted” his trainer.
“Don’t worry, Pikachu. I am fine.” Ash smiled, stroking the electric-type’s fur. “If I were you, I would have done the same thing. Plus, I deserved it!”
“Pika Pikachu!” The Pokémon retorted, knowing that kind of actions shouldn’t go unpunished.
“Pikachu, I won’t punish you because I deserved it. And on top of that, you will always be my best friend, no matter how many thunderbolts you unleash upon me.” Ash smiled to his best friend.
“Okay, Ash, why don’t you have a shower? You certainly need it…” Delia asked, her voice making it sound more as a command than a question.
“Yeah, I do.” Ash replied as he tried to stand up. Since his legs were still recovering from the Thunderbolt that caused all that trouble, he couldn’t rise to his feet.
“Guys, can you help me?” Ash got both hands on the air, pleading the women for help. “I can’t get myself up…”
“Sure thing, Ash!” His current travelling companion accepted the request being made by the Pallet trainer.
Seems to me that this is the moment to test my theory, Delia thought with a smirk. She took her son’s left hand as the coordinator from the Sinnoh region took his right hand. The eyes of Ash’s mother were glued to Dawn’s face as if she was waiting for a reaction from the coordinator.
After a while, Ash went to the bathroom to take his shower. The women were talking animatedly in the kitchen, while they made breakfast for the group of three.
“Dawn, can I ask you something?” Delia asked after a while. “Sorry if you take this the wrong way but, do you have feelings for Ash?”
“Yes, I do.” Dawn replied, turning around for a while to face the mother and then returning to her slight occupation.
“Do you love my Ash?!” Ash’s mother inquired again, this time with her eyes watering from happiness by hearing what any mother wants to hear.
“You could say so.” the coordinator, once again, replied, this time not facing Delia.
“Oh, this is just too cute! My Ash and his first girlfriend!” Delia embraced the coordinator form Sinnoh, the kind of hugs she usually gives her son. At the sound of the word “girlfriend”, Dawn spoke up. “What? Girlfriend? No way!”
“But didn’t you say you loved Ash?” Delia questioned, a hint of disappointment in her voice.
“I do love Ash, as a sister can love her brother.” Dawn answered, slightly annoyed at the trainer’s mother.
“I’m so sorry, Dawn! I didn’t mean to do that!” Delia apologized, for saying what she said about the girl. “It’s just that, sometimes, my motherly side takes over and I find myself making this kind of questions. When you become a mother you will understand what I mean…”
“It’s okay.” The coordinator acknowledged. “No need to worry!” She added her catchphrase.
“But I think you don’t need to be disappointed anymore…”
“Why do you say that?” the mother queried, intrigued at the girl’s remark.
“While we were in Sinnoh, Ash kept talking about this girl named May. Every time a subject, any subject at all, was brought up in a conversation, he managed to find a way to revert the topic back to her. And, one day, something happened…”
--Flashback--
A new day is born and our heroes are starting to get up as they continue their journey to the Pokémon League Conference in the Sinnoh region. The thin beams of light emitted by the sun turned the color of the sky from the darkest brim of black into a painting of orange and yellow.
--Dream--
Ash was standing in field full of grass; every green sprout was shaken by the wind. Not too far from Ash were two human-sized figures, one male and one female. The male held the female near, as if they were cared deeply for each other.
“They seem to be good friends.” Ash thought.
The male one had green hair, was wearing a black t-shirt with a purple jacket on top of it. His lower body was covered by a pair of green pants.
“That guy looks like Drew.” Ash pondered, looking at the young man. “Looks like he loves that girl a lot. Good for him.” The trainer from Pallet acknowledged, with a smile on his face.
But when the couple before him turned around, his smile vanished. The girl that was with Drew wore a red blouse, a small white skirt with black shorts underneath, and had white and black gloves. Ash knew who this girl was.
“No, it can’t be! No way…” Ash’s whispered with disbelief as he watched Drew and the girl getting their faces closer to each other.
“May! Stop it! I love you, May!” Ash tried to scream, but his voice never left his throat.
As May and Drew kissed, a shattering sound ran past Ash’s eardrums, in direction to his brain. Ash fell to his knees and opened his left hand to reveal a golden object, tied with a pink bow. But, to Ash’s surprise, the object was shattered, and the bow was torn.
He had nothing else to live for.
--End Dream--
Ash sprang awake, his heart beating like a drum in his chest. Tears were falling from his eyes. He reached into his pocket and took out the golden object that had been shattered in his dream. It was a connection with the girl he loved, and that, in his nightmare, was in the arms of Drew.
“May…” he whispered, “please be okay…”
He collected his belongings and ran away into a nearby forest to spend some time alone. But, little did Ash know, Dawn had watched the whole thing.
Not much later, Dawn woke up, with her usual bed head. This time, the solution was easy. A simple brush and her hair became perfect again (at least, by her standards). She got out of her tent, and noticed Brock was up already.
“Morning, Brock.” Dawn acknowledged her friend.
“Morning, Dawn.” Brock acknowledged his friend in return. “Have you seen Ash?”
“Yeah, he got up earlier from a nightmare and is in the woods to gather his thoughts.” Dawn answered, packing her stuff.
“Nightmare?” Brock wondered, while he was cooking breakfast. “Did he say anything to you? Anything at all?”
“No, he didn’t, but after waking up, he grabbed what looked like half of a contest ribbon. Do you know what it is?” Dawn replied with a question of her own.
“Love crisis. Did he say a name after he woke up, although I know who she is?”
“Love? Is Ash growing up before our eyes, Brock?” Dawn, inquired, mocking. ”Actually, he did. Mary, if memory serves me right…” Dawn recounted what she heard hours ago.
“Was the name May?” Brock corrected the young coordinator.
“Yeah, that’s it! How did you know?” Dawn queried her older friend.
“May is a coordinator that Ash helped during his journeys on the Hoenn region.” At first, it was all rainbows and butterflies, but then Drew came into the equation…”
“Drew?” Dawn was confused. “Who is he?”
“Drew is a coordinator May has met in her first contest in Hoenn. He was always putting her down. But, on the other hand, at the end of her contests, he always gave her a rose. After the Ever Grande Conference, I could see Ash was torn apart, because May had to go home to Petalburg. But, when he arrived home, Prof. Birch decided to drop by and brought along Max.
“Max?” Dawn queried.
“Yes, May’s little brother. He is about your age by now…”
“Really?” Dawn asked with smirk on her face, while she tapped her chin with her finger.
“Yeah. Anyway, on the next day, May arrived at Pallet Town without even knowing there would be contests in the Kanto region. When she was told that, she accepted right away, and when Ash told her about his Battle Frontier challenge, it became even better. But by the end of Ash’s Battle Frontier challenge, Drew told May that he would be going to Johto to compete in the contest circuit there. In our last day together, May revealed that she was going to Johto too. Ash knew Drew would be there too. The last contest May entered, Ash entered as well, and they ended up as winners, so Ash had his Sceptile cut the ribbon you saw in two halves. I guess Ash has been in love with May ever since they went swimming with Manaphy.” Brock filled his friends’ gaps.
“I guess I should go talk to him.” Dawn spoke up after a few moments of silence.
“Go ahead, try your luck.” Brock shrugged.
Dawn finished up her breakfast then went over to the forest to find and talk to Ash.
Ash was sitting near a clearing. He had mud on his clothes. On his left hand, he tightly held the same golden object from his dream.
“May,” he said in a teary voice, his eyes watering. “Come back! Come back so I might tell you that I love you.”
“Ash!” He heard a soft voice calling for him.
“May?” Ash got up, calling for the girl, making sure it was her.
Suddenly, Dawn appeared from the forest.
“Oh, here you are!” Dawn said, smiling at the trainer. Then she saw the ribbon he was holding.”Hey, Ash, is that a contest ribbon?”
“Yes, it is. It is one of my most treasured possessions.”
“Is it? Why?” Dawn asked, although she already knew the answer./I
“I don’t want to talk about it, okay?” Ash said, looking away from the girl.
“Love crisis?” Dawn knew she was right.
“I said I didn’t want to talk about it!” Ash yelled at the girl. His conscience then beat the crap out of him. “Sorry, Dawn. I didn’t mean to yell at you. You have the right to know. Yes, it is a love crisis. There is this girl named May, that I met on my journeys on the Hoenn region. We have been through so much, until that Drew showed up.” Ash explained in a teary voice.
“Drew? What did he do?” Once again, Dawn knew the answer.
“He kept giving May these roses, and now she’s with him in Johto…” The trainer cracked, tears finally falling from his eyes.
Poor Ash, he really loves May, whosoever she is.The blue-haired coordinator thought.
“Is there any way I can help?” Dawn asked all of a sudden, trying to comfort the trainer.
“I don’t think so, but when you can, you will notice.” Ash assured her. “Thanks, Dawn.”
“Why?” She asked, confused.
“You are the sister I never had.” Ash explained her.
“I can say the same thing about you… ” The coordinator said, smiling.
“Please, let’s keep the events that happened here between you and me.”
--End Flashback--
“My Ash, crying about a girl? That’s something I didn’t think I’d see or hear about…” Delia confessed, sobbing slightly.
“Yeah, me too, But, Mrs. Ketchum, please don’t tell this to anyone. He made me swear I would keep that under my hat, or beanie, whatever.” Dawn pleaded the mother.
“Don’t worry, honey. Your secret’s safe with me.” Delia assured the coordinator.
What do you think of it?

Chapter 3: Once Upon a Time

“Pika Pikachu!” The Pokémon retorted, knowing that kind of actions shouldn’t go unpunished.
“Pikachu, I won’t punish you because I deserved it. And on top of that, you will always be my best friend, no matter how many thunderbolts you unleash upon me.” Ash smiled to his best friend.
