(< > Is the translation of pokemon's speech , [ ] is the pokedex and bold are thoughts)

Our heroes arrives at Petalburg Woods, deciding to stop for a lunch break, this time, Brock's cooking.

"I was hoping to have more of Ash's cooking." Max said, Ash chimes in with "Don't worry, Brock's a good cook too."

"I hope so." May replies, to which Max agrees with.

Ash goes somewhere else to train, May goes to stop him, but Brock holds her back.

"He prefers to train on his own." He said, May nods in understanding, going back to her Torchic.

During training, Ash catches a Whismur, Shroomish, and Wingull, all shiny, who were abandoned by their clans for being different.

Before catching them, he said to them "It's okay, I'm different too. Everyone's different in their own way."

Ash then scans his new friends.

[Whismur, the Whisper Pokemon.

Pikachu and the others agreed with this and trained up the new pokemon a bit until Brock called for lunch.

The three seemed scared, but Ash said "No need to worry, they're my friends. They'll be more than happy to have you along."

After an hour of hard training, new introductions, they enjoy lunch and sharing stories.

Max was scrolling through his Poke Nav, seeing a pokemon contest broadcast and he and May watches the Rustboro contest together, seeing a Beautifly and it's trainer win with ease.

May was clearly starstruck by pokemon contests and the Beautifly.

"Oh how I'd love a Beautifly." She said, and Ash explains Wurmple can evolve into either Silcoon or Cascoon, to which Silcoon evolves into Beautifly.

"Alright! Time for me to get either a Wurmple or Silcoon! Either way, I'm getting a Beautifly!" She shouts, very determined.

They then hear yelling from further away.

Ash was nervous about it, but Pikachu nuzzles him to signal things would be okay.

They go to see not one, not two, but three trainers abandoning their injured pokemon, two a full team of six and the other a single pokemon. Ash wanted to punch them, Brock stopped and reasoned with him by saying "Ash, the pokemon need our help."

Ash agrees and they run to the pokemon, healing up the pokemon with potions and berries.
Max handled a Treecko, Surskit and Ralts, May a Wurmple and Swablu, Brock a Lotad and Mudkip, and Ash handling the most, a Surskit, Poochyena, Bagon, Beldum, Feebas, and Nincada.

The pokemon were lonely, Wurmple even being cruelly criticized by her trainer for wanting to be in pokemon contests instead of having gym battles.

Then an Officer Jenny goes to them, asking if they seen three trainers, showing them a picture of the trainers that just abandoned the pokemon.

Ash explains everything and the officer nods and thanks them, inspects the pokemon and tells them that they can keep the pokemon if that's what they wish.

The pokemon clearly wants to be with them and no one objected, everyone getting the pokemon they helped with their wounds.

Ash explains even though Max doesn't have a license yet, it's not unheard of or illegal to keep pokemon, even in pokeballs, as long as they don't do offical battles or contests with them until he gets a proper pokemon trainer license.

(Anyone that has a problem with that type of law should really take a look at the trainers you can battle in the games. Some are preschoolers. I think this is allowed.)

Max was excited to have his own pokemon, especially a Treecko since he said to his sister before that he wants a Treecko as his first pokemon.

Now he got his wish, along with a Ralts and a Surskit. Brocks let's Max keep three empty pokeballs for him to properly catch them with, to which he did.

Ash scans his new pokemon.

May was cooing over her Torchic and her new pokemon, Wurmple and Swablu, telling them that she was gonna be a contest coordinator, to which Wurmple was excited for.

Ash and Brock smiles at this
And although May has a LOT to learn, she's definitely doing something right. And that is caring about her pokemon as if they were family.

After all of the crazy shenanigans, our heroes are back to going to Rustboro.
As the journey continues.
