Ash yelled and ran to May, but the machine exploded before he could even get close to her. Enveloped into a red tint, the surroundings quaked and trees started to snap, revealing their roots.
Everyone stared with disbelief in their eyes when the explosion enveloped May and the brunette couldn't even scream for help. The shock wave sent Ash to his back, but he couldn't lay on his back, not now, not in this situation.
"MAY!" Everybody screamed, but the two loudest were Ash and Max who knew May better than anybody else.
As quickly the explosion appeared as quickly, it disappeared, revealing the pure chaos. Trees were uprooted, stones were thrown out of their positions, the grass was burned and the giant machine wasn't there anymore.
Between the whole chaos, the group spotted May. She just laid on her side, not moving. The clothes of her were torn and burned while her skin showed some bruises.
Everybody stood there in silence before Max stormed to his sister and Misty and Dawn clasped her hands in front of their faces, refusing to believe this scene.
Max shook his sister, but she didn't move or react.
"May, come on! That's not funny!! ... "Max shook her with all of his might, but her face expression didn't change at all. "Please .... May .. You can't just .... Come on May! ... please ... I need you .."
Max voice cracked at the end of his pleading and his sobbing became louder. It couldn't be, it just couldn't be. This had to be a nightmare, it has to be. This was just another useless attempt of Team Rocket, wasn't it? They had defeated them hundred times, why should it end different this time?
Max couldn't hold it any longer and he cried the hardest he could. This day should be their reunion, but it turned into a freaking nightmare.
Misty's eyes watered up before she fell to her knees, she couldn't deny that she didn't like May as of late but that was too much.
Soon everybody gave up to their emotions, not making any attempt to stop their tears. Even Gary and Tracey who didn't know May that good couldn't suppress their tears when they saw the boy who tried to wake up his sister. But she wouldn't wake up ..
Ash's eyes watered up to an extend he never experienced before and he felt a sharp pain in his heart that let him wish to scream all over the place. He fell to his knees and punched the ground with all of his might, ignoring the pain within his fists that was nothing compared to his emotional pain.
He rammed his head into the ground, trying to wake up, because it was a nightmare. Damn it, he wished it was a nightmare, but he didn't wake up and the first blood dropped from his head.
Why did it had to happen? Why was it had to be her? Why couldn't he help her? He was the goddamn champion ... and what did it get him? Nothing, he couldn't even save his best friend.
It should be him. If someone had to be it, it should be him and not her.
"And it will be me ..." Ash said weakly, resting his head on the ground and sobbing.
....
Brock wiped some tears away. It was time that he as the oldest should comfort the younger ones. He wasn't over it, hell no, he won't be ever over it. It's just that someone had to start with the comfort, but Brock's leg didn't move. They shivered, not allowing a movement from him.
Max was still with his sister, refusing to accept the situation that was obvious. His sister won't come back, she just won't. It was a thought that couldn't leave his head, regardless he didn't want to admit it. How can you admit that a person so close to you like your sister won't come back?
