A black haired man around the age of 27 was approaching the local bar; he had a lot on his mind, especially after what happened the past few days. he entered the bar, and approached the bar tender.

"What will you be having?" asked the bar tender.

"Just a beer," replied the man.

The bar tender then pulled out a beer bottle, and a cup, and pored the drink into the glass, and handed it to the man.

"Thanks," said the man, as he began to drink the alcohol.

"Ash?" a feminine voice said.

The man turned when he heard his name, to see that a brunette had entered the bar, but this was someone he knew, it was someone he travelled with when he competed in the Hoenn league, and the Kanto Battle Frontier.

"May?" he said.

The young woman nodded, and took a seat next to Ash.

"How have you been doing?" she asked.

Ash looked down at his drink, he didn't want to tell May about his current situation, but he had to get it off his chest.

"Not to good," he said quietly.

"Oh, why is that?" she asked curiously.

"Well," he said quietly "Serena and I have gotten divorced,"

May's face showed only an expression of shock, Ash and Serena were married for only two years, and they seemed pretty happy, what could have caused them to want to separate?

"What happened Ash?" she asked.

Ash looked at May with a blank expression before he spilled.

"Last week, we kind of got into an argument, she was yelling at me, because I came home late, she accused me of cheating on her, but I wasn't, I tried to explain to her that I was late because I had a late challenger, but she just started yelling at me for not spending enough time with her, and I said that she wasn't spending enough time with me either because of her Rhyhorn races,"

May looked at Ash with sympathy, she could never imagine Serena yelling, and at Ash of all people. May remembered when she first met Serena, she would always yap about how much she loved Ash, and that she would always be there for him, May admitted to herself that she was a bit jealous when she and Ash started dating, but May took such a liking to Serena that she set her own feelings aside for Ash and Serena's happiness.

"We didn't talk to each other for the next couple of days, but eventually she came up to me, and said that it would be best if we got a divorce, and when we did, she kicked me out of the house, My house, the house that I paid for, with My money,"

May could tell that Ash was starting to get angry, so she placed a hand on his shoulder to try to calm him down.

"It's ok Ash, you can..." May then tried to think of something to say, until an idea came into her head, but she wasn't Sure if she should go with it

"I can what?" Ash asked.

"You can...stay at my place..." She said nervously.

Ash gave May a questioning look.

"At least until, you get back on your feet," she said.

Ash didn't respond, he just smiled and nodded.

May was questioning he decision, was it really a good idea to let Ash stay at her apartment? after all the guy just got divorced, but May realized that this was probably the best way she could repay him for making her the woman she was today, he supported her, know it was time for her to support him.
