As May watched Ashlyn and Alain leave towards Mt. Pyre she felt someone nuzzling her leg, looking down she said that it was Pikachu and Swablu.

"I guess Ashlyn left you to take care of me and Max didn't she," May said as she bent down to pick up both Pokemon

"Don't worry about her, she has someone to protect her at all times" Pikachu said trying to cheer his trainer's younger sister up

"Director?" She heard George greet in surprise

"Hello, George may I speak to ms. May please" he asked making her look up in surprise

"Why would the League Director need me? I'm not a participant of the league" May asked herself as she carried Pikachu and Swablu towards the entrance where she saw George talking to a short man with a large afro

"Ah ms. Maple hello I was wondering if I could borrow a little bit of time" he asked before George guided them to the relaxation area of the gym

"Now ms. Maple I assume that you are aware of the situation in regards to ms. Flannery, correct?"

"Yes sir George told us as much when we arrived at the city" May said as she sat in front of the director

"Yes well, I require your assistance in that particular situation a trainer has found where team Aqua has been keeping ms. Flannery, I was hoping that you could aid them in rescuing her" he said shocking May and George

"Director not to sound disrespectful but I thought uncle Steven and aunt Winona were already doing that" May said confused.

"It seems as though they were led into a different yet no less important operation that needed to be stopped," he said before May opened her mouth but was cut off "Yes I am well aware of how your aunt, uncle, and father may feel towards my request but at least consider request"

"Why me I-I'm not a strong trainer I'm not even competing in the league?" May asked hugging both Pokemon on her lap closer

"Ms. Maple you are a skilled trainer I watched your battle against Gym Leader Gordie of the Galar region and your skillset may be just what we need to allow this mission to succeed and I have the utmost confidence in you," the director said before George walked into the room

"I'm sorry Mr. Director but I will have to ask you to please leave May out of this, you've already asked Ashlyn to gather the orbs which in of itself is a dangerous task I can't let you drag May into another," he said firmly

"I won't be asking if I had thought her incapable of the task George and I believe this is her choice," the director said

"Can't another gym leader or maybe an elite four member help, after all, it's their job to take care of situations like these, not a ten-year-old's?" George said calmly but there was no mistaking the rising anger in his tone "These kids are like my younger siblings I'd be damned if I have to let another one walk into a dangerous situation"

"I'll do it," May said making both men look at her in shock "While I can't say that I'm confident about your choice director and I agree with George I would rather try and save Flannery now because the more time we waste the less likely she's gonna get out of that trap "

"Yes well, then ms. Maple I will teleport you to the rendezvous point and I suggest you prepare your strongest team for this endeavor" the director said before he went outside allowing May to sigh

"Are you sure about this?" George asked his eyes focused on the door but his mind was focused on May

"I want to say yes but to be honest no I just wish I can help in any way I can," May said smiling at Swablu before she stood up and gave her over to George "I know I'm not the strongest trainer and I may not be the best choice but I have to help in any way I can someone's life is in danger, of course, I have to help"
