Max's Happy Day

Today the gang took a break in a Pokemon Center. Tomo was checking his Growlithe, Electabuzz, Magmar, Jynx, Natu and Beldum. Brock was checking out if he had any emails from Lucy. Ash teased Brock a little about it; he found out Brock and Lucy had a crush on each other and were now boyfriend and girlfriend. May was thinking about what Pokemon she would use in the next Pokemon contest. As for Max, well he was thinking about wanting to catch new Pokemon for himself; he hadn't captured any new Pokemon since Zangoose. And since Ash, Tomo, Brock and May have obtained new Pokemon, he started to feel it wasn't fair.
So he decided to go find and catch new Pokemon for himself. He told the others that he wanted to catch a new Pokemon for himself and left the Pokemon Center. May thought she should go with him to keep him safe, but the boys told her not to.
"Max will be okay May." Brock said. "He's got Pokemon with him to keep him safe, so there's no need to worry."
"And besides May." Ash added. "Max will go on his own journey once he turns ten, so catching a Pokemon on his own will be a valuable experience for him until he does become a real trainer." 
May agreed with them. Just then Nurse Joy told May there was a phone call for her from Petalburg City.
"I hope nothing is wrong back home." May said.
She went over to the phone to answer it.
Meanwhile...
Max was looking for Pokemon and he had Whismur and Ralts with him.
"Keep an eye and ear open you two." Max told his Pokemon. "You can never tell when wild Pokemon will appear."
Suddenly some bushes started to rustle and then a Rattata and Raticate came out.
"Hey Rattata and Raticate, I can catch two Pokemon instead of one." Max said.
He ordered Ralts to use Confusion and Rattata and Whismur to use Stomp on Raticate. Ralts' Confusion held Rattata in the air and then made it crash into the ground and Whismur stomped on Raticate's head. 
"Finish this with Magical Leaf Ralts." Ralts fired Magical Leaf at Rattata and Raticate, injuring the two.
Max then threw two empty Poke Balls and Rattata and Raticate were soon caught. Max cheered and jumped for joy as did Ralts and Whismur. 
"Let's go back to the others and tell them about our capture." Max told his Pokemon.
Max ran back to the Pokemon Center and told the others that he captured Rattata and Raticate. 
"Good for you Max, you captured two Pokemon in one day." Ash said.
May walked over to Max.
"Hey Max." She said. "I just got a phone call from mom and something has happened with your Snorlax."
"What?" Max asked. "What's wrong, is she sick?"
"No, nothing like that." May said. "It's just, well your Snorlax has adopted two Munchlax as her own kids. Mom explained that the two wild Munchlax got in dad's greenhouse and Snorlax found them and looked after them as if they were her own. So mom and dad want to know if you want to have the Munchlax."
"Of course I do." Max said. "There's no way I'm letting this chance to have my own Munchlax pass me by."
Max immediately called his parents and told them that he wanted to keep the two Munchlax. Caroline and Norman accepted his decision and said they would look after the Munchlax until he and May returned home.
So today was a happy day for Max because he had finally obtained new Pokemon like the others.
