Summary: Gasping for air in this world of hate, it was then when I realized my fate.
Alrighty well, this is suppose to be the sequel to one of my stories called May I? but seeing as I'm in no mood to post it (because its not one of my er . . . greatest stories heh), I might as well post the sequel seeing as I like this story better.
Seeing as the summary doesn't explain a lot, I'll just give ya what you need to know to understand this story. Basically, Brendan rescues May from the clutches of Maxie the Team Magma Leader and they become boyfriend and girlfriend but Maxie escapes and is out on revenge on Brendan. But possibly not in the way you think. But yeah, enjoy please! ^_^
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The boy smiled as he laced fingers with the girl. The strong scent of roses filled the air, creating a tranquil and romantic enviornment for the two lovers as they laid down on their backs. Cuddling, the boy and girl felt the warm wind cover them like a blanket. But even with the girl of his dreams in his arms, the boy couldn't help but worry. Worried about what the future about has in store for them, worried for where his life was going and worried mainly for the girl.
Because even with this pretty little picture painted outside, he could feel terror trying to bubble its way out . . .
"Brendan? Brendan are you with us? Speak Bread Head, speak . . ."
Brendan Birch, Pok?mon Champion in the making, snapped out of his daydream and glared at his companion.
"Must you do that?" he snapped, annoyed.
"Sorry, but you were spacing out on me," May Maple replied as she smiled innocently. "Art thou remember thy meeting today?"
"Okay, okay, no need to talk all . . . Shakespear on me," the white-haired trainer groaned. "I don't see why we need to be here, I'm sure Walter can plan a surprise party by himself!"
We find the trainers in the town of Verdanturf on a fine summer's afternoon outside Wally Wood's house. Wally was no where to be found at the moment so the two trainers decided to kick back and relax in the sweet smelling grass for awhile.
"Oh come on Brendan, don't you want to help plan a surprise party for Wanda, Wally's cousin?" May questioned as she sat up and played with Brendan's snowy-white hair.
"Seeing as we don't really know her, why not!" Brendan retorted sarcastically.
"Brendan . . ."
"Okay, fine, I'll help the little pip-squeak out seeing as we're probably the only friends he's got."
"Ha, don't flatter yourself Birch, I have more friends than you can count," a voice from behind them piped up.
"So that's like . . . five?" Brendan sat up and turned his head. "Nice to see ya again Wallace."
"You do know you just made fun of yourself right?" Wally remarked. "Oh, and nice to see you too Brandon. Very nice."
Despite the fact that the two boy trainers helped each other out during the Team Magma fiasco, that doesn't mean that they're still rivals.
"Knock it out you two." May rolled her eyes as the two boys rivarily.
"But we haven't even started arguing yet!" Brendan whined.
"Trust me, if you guys do, I don't think you'll ever stop," May stated dully. "Anyways, about this surprise party for your cousin Wally . . ."
". . . Hmm? Oh! Oh yeah!" Wally cut off the glare contest between him and the white-haired trainer and smiled at May. "As you guys know from the Viv-gram I sent you, Wanda's birthday is coming up. I want to surprise her with a party-"
"Hence the words 'surprise party,' " Brendan interrupted.
"-because she helped me teach me the basic of Pokemon even though she, like my aunt, wouldn't let me go out on a journey," Wally finished as he sat down Indian-style in front of Brendan and May. "So, will you guys help me?"
"We do have to train for the Hoenn League though," Brendan remarked, trying to get out of party planning.
"That's in like a month Brendan," May remarked. "I'll help and if you were my boyfriend B Boy, you would too!" she glared playfully at Brendan.
"Dammit! She got me with that 'if you were my boyfriend' line again!" Brendan groaned, slapping a hand on his forehead. "Okay, fine I'll do it, but not for you Wall Leak, but for my one true love, May!" he reached over and sat May down in his lap.
May giggled and laid her head on Brendan's shoulder.
"Your cuteness disgusts me sometimes," Wally rolled his eyes. "But thanks for helping! I guess . . ." The green-haired trainer pulled out a notebook from his backpack. "Okay, so we're going to need invitations for guests, figure out who Wanda knows so we can give those invitations to them, get party decorations, get a cater or whatever their called, and this whole mess of crap! So. . . who wants to be in charge of any of these? I've got food!"
"I'll get the guest list!" May shouted.
"Then that leaves Brendan with party decorations!" Wally noted, scribbling it down on his notebook. "It'll be easy for him to blow up the balloons since he's already an air head."
"I'm only right here ya know!" Brendan complained.
"Oh, do you want me to say that louder then?"
"Okay, let's get to it then, we only have two weeks!" May jumped out of Brendan's lap. "I'll be going around town so see ya guys later!" and with that, the girl trainer walked up to the nearest house and entered.
"Great, I'm stuck with the loser," Brendan groaned as he stood up. "Let's go to Mauville then that way we can get rid of each other faster."
"For once in my life, I agree with you," Wally stated. "Besides that entire PMS May thing."
"****. Straight."
---
"Okay Birch, we've only got a few hours before we've gotta meet up with May in a few hours before it gets dark," Wally stated, checking the time on his watch. "So when your done with everything, meet at my house alright?"
Brendan nodded, "Okay."
And with that, the two boy trainers took off in different directions.
"Where to get party supplies, where to get party supplies?" Brendan repeated out loud. "Rydel's Bike Shop? No. The Casino? No. The Mauville Gym. I doubt it. Hmm . . ."
The white-haired trainer looked around as he past a secluded part of Mauville. The area was cast with cloud's shadows, creating a dark and haunted look. Worn down, second-rate shops covered mostly the area and old newspapers littered the already dirty ground.
"Hmm, funny, I don't remember ever going into this part of town before," Brendan murmured. "Its like it just . . . reappeared out of no where. That's just freaky . . ."
The boy trainer walked down an alleyway when a movement from the corner of his eye caught his attention. Curious, Brendan walked down the alleyway, a lump of fear growing in his throat.
"Curse my curiosity!" Brendan muttered to himself. "Wow, that made me sound . . . old. Or something along those lines anyways."
"I've been waiting for you Mr. Birch. . ." a voice muttered from around the corner.
"So?" Brendan replied absentmindedly. He slapped a hand on his mouth soon after.
'Crap, now I'm going to get killed because I was sarcastic!' Brendan thought. 'What a way to end your life . . . ****, even I'm sarcastic in my mind . . .'
The voice though only laughed, surprising Brendan. "Mr. Birch . . . it has been awhile since I've last seen you hasn't it?"
"I wouldn't know seeing as I can't see you myself," Brendan replied cooly.
"How idiotic of me, not letting you see me!" the voice laughed as he stepped out into the shadows. He simpered. "Remember me now Brendan my boy?"
"Maxie!" Brendan growled. "What are you . . . how the hell . . . I'm calling the police!" The boy trainer flicked out his Pok?Nav only to get it knocked out of his hand and stomped on by the former Team Magma Leader.
"You wouldn't dare call the police on your deal pal Maxie would you?" Maxie laughed mockingly.
"Well I can't now seeing as my Pok?Nav is busted!" Brendan retaliated sharply. "What the hell are you doing back here? I thought you would be dead by now! Or at least dirty. . ." he noted, noticing that Maxie was rather clean for being on the run for three months.
"Ha, you underestimate me Brendan, surely you would know that I, leader of the infamous Team Magma, would have several tricks up my sleeves to stay alive and be on the run from those annoying pests called policemen."
"I . . . er . . .hmm . . ."
Maxie only smirked in return. "Now, have you heard of this Wally Wood character? I'm pretty sure you have . . ."
"What about him?" Brendan questioned.
"Now I want you to think back. Back around a few months ago . . . to around the annual Pokemon fair here in Mauville City . . ." Maxie trailed off. "Do you remember Brendan?"
Brendan smiled, remembering the first time he kissed May. "Yeah, yeah I do," he stated, a goofy grin forming on his face.
"Now, can you tell me what happened when you crashed into the building during the fair's formal dance?"
Brendan immediately frowned. "Well, we crashed into the building, I fainted I guess because I remember I was laying down in May's lap and then we went outside and we er . . . we um-"
"Tell me, who battled against me that one fateful night?" Maxie demanded.
Brendan blinked twice. "Wally Wood?" he answered hesitantly.
"Very good Birch!" Maxie spat. "Its good to know you're paying attention. Now, I don't like this kid, probably as worse than you do. And do you know why I hate this kid Birch?"
"Because he . . . defeated you?"
"Exactly! He defeated me! This puny, green-haired trainer defeated me in front of hundreds of people! Do you know how embarrassing that is to be defeated by him?!"
"I wouldn't actually," Brendan replied cooly.
Maxie only growled as he paced back and forth. "No, if it weren't for him, the world could of been at my mercy! But yet, he somehow defeated me with that stupid Gardevoir of his! If only . . . if only-" The former Team Magma Leader stopped walking and smirked at Brendan. "Yes . . . yes, that could work!"
"Do I dare ask what will work?" Brendan inquired.
"How much do you hate this Wally character?"
"Enough to despise him but not enough to kill him."
"Well, that's too bad."
"Oh? And why is that?"
"Because I want you to kill him for me."
"Ah, we all wish for things that we know are never, EVER going to come true don't we," Brendan, about to walk away, was pinned down by the neck by Maxie.
"You don't get a choice if you want to or not," Maxie glared coldly into the white-haired trainer's eyes.
"And if I refuse?" Brendan retorted, glaring at the former Team Magma Leader.
"If you refuse?" Maxie raised an eyebrow. "The thought hasn't crossed my mind! Surely I would think that you would happily kill your rival."
"You're dead wrong then!" Brendan barked.
"Dead wrong, how ironic!" Maxie laughed.
"Why can't you do it! You're the one that hates the boy with your heart and soul!" Brendan stated. "That is, if you have a heart or soul . . ."
"I don't like getting my hands . . . dirty without having a reason of doing so,"
Maxie retaliated. "Kill Wally for me, you stay alive."
"I'd rather die than kill my someone!"
"Ah, you didn't let me finish," Maxie waved a finger at him. "Kill Wally for me, you stay alive. But if you don't you two both wind up dead. Is that clear enough?"
Brendan growled but stayed silent.
"Good! Now let me make this harder for you. If you don't kill Wally, you die, he dies and a person close to your heart dies as well. Now, who is this person close to your heart you ask?"
Brendan glared daggers at the Magma Leader, his fists clenching together in hatred.
"This person would be your loving girlfriend. That's right! May Maple!"
"You hurt one hair on her head and I swear I will-"
"What?" Maxie interrupted. "Kill me?" He laughed mockingly.
"Evil little bas-"
"I would watch that tongue of yours Mr. Birch, you never know when its going to get you into trouble. Be glad that I'm giving you choices you brat!"
"Well, lucky me then!" Brendan retorted sardonically.
Maxie only smirked and walked into the fog. "Two weeks Mr. Birch, two weeks." And with that, he disappeared yet his words kept repeating in Brendan's ears.
"Somehow," Brendan started, "I don't think those words are going to be leaving me anytime soon . . ."
---
"So how did things go?" May asked as she spotted the two boy trainers down the road.
"Great!" Wally replied cheerfully, showing May two bags filled with food. "Snack stuff, the usual crap at parties. How did things go for you Bread Head?"
"Hmm . . . what?" Brendan was dazed off. "Oh, uh yeah, things went great, I got streamers and I ordered balloons in advance and . . . yeah."
May looked at him worriedly. "Are you okay B Boy, you look kind of tired." She placed a hand on Brendan's forehead, checking for a fever.
"Yeah, its getting pretty late and I've been kinda tired from shopping," Brendan lied, daring not to tell May his little "talk" with Maxie.
"Oh . . . if you're sure then." May took her hand of Brendan's forehead but couldn't help but look at him concernedly still.
"It is getting late," Wally agreed with Brendan, noting the full moon. "Let's go inside, my aunt and uncle must be worried." The green-haired trainer took out his house key and unlocked the door, finding only the kitchen lights on. "Shh everyone," Wally warned. "Okay, I'm going to be sleeping in my room while you two can have the living room. I don't care who gets the couch but no making any . . . gross noises alright?"
"What do you take us for?" May asked, bewildered by what Wally said.
"Hey, you'll never know what I meant by 'gross noises,' " Wally remarked. "It could be perverted or not, its all up to you!" He smirked. "Good night!" Wally entered his room and shut the door behind him.
"I call couch!" May laughed as she ran past the white-haired boy and jumped onto the couch.
"Whatever . . ." Brendan sighed as he walked over and laid his sleeping bag on the floor next to where the girl trainer was sleeping.
"Hmm? We usually argue about who gets the couch or bed or whatever," May pointed out. She eyed her boyfriend worriedly. "What's wrong B Boy?"
"Nothing," Brendan remarked as he got into his sleeping bag and closed his eyes.
"Are you sure Brendan?" May asked again as she unrolled her sleeping bag on the couch.
"Its NOTHING May, don't worry it," Brendan replied through clenched teeth
"Seriously Brendan," May replied, "are you-"
"I said it was NOTHING!" Brendan snapped, finally losing his cool with the girl trainer.
May stayed quiet and laid down in her sleeping bag. "I love you B Boy . . ." she stated quietly.
Brendan licked his lips and sighed. ". . . I love you too May."
---
The white-haired trainer tossed and turned in his sleep, Maxie's words haunting him in his dreams. Annoyed, he sat up and ran a hair through his hair.
"Latios, what am I going to do?" he whispered to himself.
Pushing his sleeping bag away from him, the boy trainer stood up and walked over to the kitchen. Paranoid, Brendan turned around every few seconds as he pulled out a drawer. Finding nothing but spoons, he slammed it shut, frustrated.
"One of these drawers must have a knife!" Brendan complained, opening another drawer.
Luckily - or unfortunately depending on which side you?re on - Brendan found a knife in the next drawer, its sleek silver blade glinting in the moonlight. Pulling it out, he sighed as he looked at his reflection in the rather sharp kitchen knife. Was he willing to kill his friend in order to save his other friend not to mention girlfriend? How strong was his love for her anyways?
The white-haired trainer turned around and stared at May's sleeping form. It was at that very moment when he realized that he would do anything for her.
Brendan took in a deep breath as he walked over to Wally's room with a knife in hand. Slowly, he placed a hand on the doorknob and turned it . . .
