This choice: May goes to Petalburg City to meet her dad, Norman. • Go Back...Chapter #6Let's meet Norman and Wally. by: Unknown The next morning, May woke up and looked at herself in the mirror in her room at the Pokémon Center. She focused on her hair.
"I've been wearing my hair like this for too long. I need a new look," she said. She took the two large bangs her hair had been in for some time and styled them into pigtails, they kept their general appearance, but May moved them off to the side of her head. "What do you think, Charlie?" She asked her Torchic for advice. Charlie looked up and wondered what May was doing. "Hmm, maybe asking you wasn't such a good idea. I do like this look, though. I'll keep it." As May said this, she took out her bandanna and wrapped it around Charlie's neck. "Now you have a new look too, Charlie."
"Tor tor!" Charlie liked his new accessory. May then tried to get dressed, but the shorts she usually wore under her skirt were getting tight, and May felt uncomfortable in them. She decided to put them in her bag and only wear her skirt.
As she entered Petalburg City, she noticed her father Norman, the city's Gym Leader, walk over to her with a boy about her age with light green hair. "Hi, Dad!" May ran over to her father and hugged him, underestimating her strength.
"May, ugh, I'm happy to see you, but you're hurting me!" "Oh, sorry, Dad! Hee Hee! It's just been a while!" May let go and looked at the boy by Norman. "Oh, sorry, how rude! I'm May!"
"I'm Wally. Your dad's helping me catch a Pokémon," the boy said. "I've had some breathing problems, so I'm going to live in Verdanturf Town with my aunt and uncle to help with that. The clean air there is said to be incredibly healthy. Norman lent me a Zigzagoon so that I can catch a Pokémon to keep me company. Take a look." Wally showed May the Zigzagoon, then another Pokémon. "I just caught this one, a Ralts."
"They're both so cute!" May said. "So, if you have the Ralts, what about the Zigzagoon?" The Zigzagoon then attacked Charlie, who was walking alongside May the whole time. "Aah! Charlie!"
"Oh no! May, have your Torchic battle! It's the best way to stop Zigzagoon!" "Right, Dad. Charlie, Ember!" Charlie shot a burst of fire from his mouth and landed a direct hit on Zigzagoon, who fell to the ground.
"Sorry about that, May," Norman said. "This Zigzagoon's a bit temperamental. Maybe she'll behave better if you take her of her. Charlie seems pretty happy." May looked at the Zigzagoon and decided she'd take care of her for her dad. "Sure thing, Dad. I'll name her... Kerry." Kerry walked over and looked at May. Her look was indifferent, but May knew that Kerry would be a great partner.
"Oh, I have to leave. Thank you for your help, Norman!" Wally said as he went home with Ralts to prepare for his trip. As Norman waved, he noticed May and how much she had grown, figuratively and literally. "May, I'm proud of you for handling that situation so well. I hope to battle you someday soon, but for now, I'd like you to do something."
"Oh, you want me to take the Gym Challenge, Dad?" May asked. "That's right," Norman said. "I'd like you to battle the Gym Leaders of the Hoenn region and collect badges. Once you have four, I'd like to battle you. Once you have eight, you can challenge the Elite Four and the Champion." This sounded fun to May, not as fun as an eating contest, but close. "I'll do it!" she exclaimed.
"Good. The closest Gym is in Rustboro City. The leader, Roxanne, uses the Rock type. You may want to catch a Water or Grass type or wait until Charlie evolves to challenge it, but I know you'll do great."
"Thanks, Dad," May said, hugging Norman again. This one wasn't as hard as the last.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
