Okay this is my first story, it's about Ash journey in Hoenn. While traveling in Hoenn something new happens for him, a new feeling shows up. What is this strange feeling, is it love? Ash and May's relationship develops to something more as the Hoenn Journey goes on. Advanceshipping all the way!

Disclaimer~ I do not own pokemon.

Ash layed down on the ground and started to star up at the sky. It was a beautiful day. His best friend pikachu was sitting next to him. Brock was cooking lunch and May.. well she was doing those kinds of stuff, she always do.. No one knew where Max was. No one cared either for that matter. It was really relaxing to have that kid out way.

"Hmm, I wonder where May is..." he thought. Is she still fixing her hair and all that other girl stuff? He really had no clue of what took her so long... He really had no clue about girls in general come to think of it. He had been to obsessed and occupied with his dream of becoming a pokemon master. He'd just found that he gets that fuzzy while when he's alone with May.

He chuckled to himself, remembering the time he and May had gotten to a fight because of it. He had complained about how she always was taking her time with uneccesary stuff in his opinon. Gosh, that girl could yell! She sure gave him a lecture about boy and girl stuff that day.. They didn't talk with each other for hours.. well it did end well in the end..

He didn't know what to think of her. Sure she was his friend and companion, but she was different from Brock and Max somehow. Ash just couldn't put his finger on how she was different from them..

He caught himself thinking of her personality. She was girly,cheerful and carefree. A big difference compared to the tomboy Misty. May was different. He liked her in so many ways, he wasn't quite sure if he liked her as a friend, sister or something more THAT other way... this was a new feeling for him something he'd never felt before. May acted different to him than to Brock and other guys. She was nicer to him and she would occiasionally flash him a smile.

"Pika pi?"

He was interrupted in his thoughs by a worried Pikachu.

"Oh, I'm okay buddy, don't worry" Ash said with a smile.

Pikachu nodded and ran away to the beach quickly followed by Ash other pokemon.

Wow that was fast, he sure didn't take his time.. Ash thought slightly amused for himself.

Today was the day the gang had decided to stop to relax and wear of the fatigue on a beach. Just so they could relax and replenish their strenght. His pokemon really deserved a day off. They had worked so hard lately. Especially in that match against Norman. He stood victorius in the end but it was a close call. Grovayle had saved the day.

"Heeyy Ash! I need your help, come here!" May shouted suddenly.

Ash heart started to beat faster, gosh that girl could scream!

"I'm comming!" he replied as he ran over to her tent as fast as he could.

She was currently putting sun lotion on her body.

"Sorry to ask but can you put some on my back?" May asked modestly with a weird smile. "I just can't reach some parts.."

Ash's face became deep red. Was she actually asking him to but lotion on her back? Was this a dream? He pinched his arm... no it wasn't. Come to think of it.. what was the big deal anyway? Just puting lotion on each others back-was completly nomal for friends, wasn't it?

"S-sure" he said laughing nervously. Why didn't she ask Max like she usually would? Ahh yeah that kid was gone...

May turned around so her back was facing ash. Ash quickly put on the sun lotion on her back. He wanted to be done with it as quickly as possible. His hands got warm and sweaty when they touched May's soft skin. He was sure that she was feeling disgusted by his warm and sweaty hands.

"Thanks Ash," May said with a smile.

"You're welcome, May" he replied smiling with a small blush. It was so small that he didn't even notice it himself.

He looked at May. She was wearing a green one piece swimsuit. It actually matched his shorts. Even a guy like him with no fashion sense at all could see that. And to the weird thing, May was the one who had bought his shorts...

"Your turn to put it on me now,"

"Sure, just turn around!" May put on the lotion without hesitation. He guessed that she was used to it.. she did have a younger brother.

Ash couldn't avoid to notice that May's hand weren't sweaty at all... they just felt soft and warm.

"Well I'm off for a swim, see you!" she said with a wink as she sprinted off to the beach.

Ash looked after her. In what way did he like her? Was it as friends? Siblings? Or as lovers? One thing was sure... he did feel different about her good or bad only Mewtwo knows.

He ran after her with a goofy smile, the day was full of opportunities.

"Hey Ash!"

The voice came from behind. It sounded like a child. Who could it be? Ash slowly turned around with a big sigh.

"Yes, Max?" Ash asked with a slightly annoyed voice.

Of all the times he could have showed up.. it just had to be now.

Max took a deep breath before he answeared.

"Are you hitting on my sister?"

"N-no" Ash replied with a big blush. "Why are you asking?"

Damn! Did it seem like he was? Was it that obvious? More importantly...did she thought so as well?

"Yeah sure" Max said as he flinged his head. "You're lying even a kid like me can tell!"

That kid was too smart for his own good, with his matter of fact attitude and his nerdy behaviour. Ash sometimes thought about what could have happened between him and May if Max wasn't there. He was a real pain in the ass. And he still wasn't sure if he really did like May.

"Oh shut it!" Ash replied slightly annoyed as he turned around and walked away.

Gawd i hate that kid!

Ash went into his tent to changes to his swimming shorts. May wasn't alone when he finally arrived on the beach. She was having a siblings quarrel with Max.

"He's not!" she yelled at him.

"Yes, he is!" Max shouted back as he splashed water at her.

May giggled and splashed back.

"Fine maybe just MAYBE he is..."

Ash was getting really curious now.

"Who is what?" he asked curiously.

"N-nothing..." May quickly replied as her cheeks tuned red, Ash was of course too much of a fool to notice that. But he did see the smug in Max's face when he looked back and forth on the teens.

Yeah sure Ash thought skepticly. Why was Max smuging if it was nothing?

"Okay..." Ash said unsure of what to say.

He took a quick dive in the cold water. He could see something red nearby.. oh it was just a magikarp.

He sighed as he surfaced.

"MAX!"

Max was smirked while slowly backing away from his sister.

"Yes, Ash do have a crush on you!" he shouted stubbornly as he swam up and run away.

"MAAAAX!" both May and Ash shouted as they ran after him.

"You coward! Come back and fight like a man!" Ash shouted after him. He was surpised that Max had gotten the nerve to shout out something like that.

"I'm a kid you moron!"

"May, please allow me to kill Max!" Ash begged.

"Sure you can do that, AFTER I'm done with him!" she replied with clenched teeth. "What's wrong with that brother of mine! Saying that you have a crush on me...isn't he silly?"

"Yes, very silly indeed" Ash replied with a nevous laugh. He noticed that May was looking away.

Max was still far ahead of them, they started to run faster so they could catch up with him.
