Chapter #4Who's That? - May by: Triple   You turned around to see a girl standing a few metres away from you, wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and a pair of dark blue cycle shorts. Her short, brown hair was partially covered by a red and white bandana and her eyes sparkled with excitement. She seemed friendly enough and you decided to approach her.
"Hi there!" you said, holding out your hand to shake hers.
She took it in hers and gave it a firm squeeze. "I'm May," she introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you!" you replied back, before you exchanged your own name, "So what brings you out here?"
May shrugged, "I just wanted to get some fresh air after being stuck inside for so long. You would not believe how boring it can get when you're cooped up in a room all day!"
You laughed at that, "Yeah, I can imagine. There's nothing like taking in the great ocean view up here. So, uh, what do you think of this boat ride so far?"
"It's pretty nice," May nodded, "But we've still got a ways to go. Once we reach Slateport City, I'll have to head back to Littleroot Town to help my dad with work."
"...Your family lives in Hoenn?"
"Yeah, they do!" she exclaimed, her face lighting up with joy, "My dad owns a small laboratory over there. He researches Pokémon habitats so he's usually outside on the field just about every other day. He promised me that he'll be home when I eventually arrive back home."
"Oh cool!" you said, "That sounds like an interesting job!"
"Yeah, it really is," May nodded, "He's always telling me to keep my eyes open for any new species of Pokémon he might discover."
It wasn't long until the two of you started walking along the ship deck together, chatting about various things as you made your way towards one of the large windows facing forward towards the open sea and the horizon beyond. However, every few seconds, you couldn't help but stare at the red and yellow shoes, imagining her black socked feet suffocating inside them. You couldn't stop yourself from wondering if she would let you play with them, too.
Eventually, you reached the edge of the deck and stood there, gazing out over the endless expanse of water below.
