This takes place after the episode Sweet Baby James. After James's pokemon Chimecho is worn out, it needs to stay with James's grandparents. When May's Pokémon Munchlax has a fever she, her friends and brother come to James's grandparents for help as well, James sat up all night that night. Watching over his beloved Pokémon and keeping a watchful eye on the twerps Munchlax, when May came to check up on Munchlax, she had then thought differently of the villain, there was something there that wasn't there before, could it be gratitude? Or could it be something else the teen didn't even think of happening? Also I just want to add, in fan fictions ages can change. Fan fictions are not real life, in this fan fictions Ash, May and some side characters will be 15, Brock will be aged 18, Max is 9, James 19, Jessie 18, and so forward. Towns and cities will be randomly added and will not be in order, the designs of said towns and cities will be changed to how I would like them.
