Poke problems

It was a normal day for Ash and friends, traveling around the many regions capturing pokemon. They had all just met up at Mt. Silver. Ash and Brock had left Sinnoh for awhile to catch up on things with friends. They had left Dawn with her mother. Misty had taken off for a month to hang out. Max had finished Kanto and had met up and traveled with May in Johto. May, with currently 4 ribbons, was the one who asked them to come, and wanted them to be there for the Grand Festival which was only weeks away. The final contest just finished and May (of course) had won.

"You did great May!" Max yelled as he ran up to her. She smiled and did thumbs up. The rest of the gang caught up and congratulated her as well.

"You know the Grand Festival is coming up fast. You're gonna have to train really hard" Misty said in a sing-songish voice that made May's eye slightly twitch.

"Yea May, cause you just know that Drew and Harley are gonna be there" Ash said stretching out Drew's name and at the same time eyeing Misty. Ever since the two met up they had been really, REALLY flirty. Each time they were near each other May always felt as though she could puke, because they would be tense with want you could feel the infatuation roll off them. Now, normally that didn't affect May, but ever since she last saw Drew, she found that she wished that Drew and her had the same affections for each other. But sadly, it was only a one-sided love, or so she thought.

"You know what guys, you're right…Really should go train" May was desperately trying not to let her tears come out. The gang mumbled with each other and nodded their agreement. She smiled, but was inwardly cheering thanking the lord that she could get away without…

"Can I come with you May" it was Max….never mind that thought. But how could she say no to him? She fought silently in her head, and finally forced out a small "no". With that she whipped around, trying hard not to turn around and say "never mind…come on". She started to run towards a forest near by not looking back at Max's hurt eyes. While she ran she called out Blazeiken.

"Blaze" its deep voice was comforting to hear. He stopped her from running and looked down at her questioningly. She looked up and smiled.

"Its okay, we're just gonna do some training." Her face betrayed her voice.

"Blaze… bla bla blazeken" he argued with her saying something was up and to tell him. 'How do they know' she thought.

"N-nothings up…really. Come on let's run!" She tried to sound happy, but she was still like a book for him, easily read. They started running on a non-particular course, until they found themselves on a ledge. Below waves lapped a rocky shore, and sent chills up her spine. They were on the complete far side of the summit. She shook her head and ran alongside the ledge. Keeping her distance from its edge, she ran at full speed Blaziken in tow. She was about to try to run faster when something shot out of the bushes creating an explosion at her feet. She yelped and staggered toward a cliff when Blazeiken ran out in front of her and led her away. The bushes rustled and a girl came out. Now on most occasions May would have been flattered by someone looking almost exactly like her other than the fact she changed the colors around. She wore a blue shirt with a black poke ball on it, and a black skirt with blue leggings. Her shoes were blue with black soles, designs, and laces. She had black gloves with blue finger tips, and a blue bandanna with a black poke ball. Her pack was the only thing the same, a lime green hip bag. But that wasn't the part that was currently freaking May out. Her face was an exact model of May's, but had black hair and dark sapphire eyes that looked warm from a distance but were really ice cold and gave you the shivers. Beside her appeared an Umbreon, but instead of crimson eyes they were the same as its masters…an icy dark sapphire. Unbeknownst to the girl had the thoughts of 'who is this freak and why does she look like me?!'

"Are you all right?" the girl's voice was angelic but her look turned it to ice.

"Yea…I'm fine" May was a little scared of the menacing girl before her.

"That's good…By the way, I'm Marina and this is Umbreon" her tone lightened along with her face.

"Bre" Umbreon nodded as if saying 'and you are…?'

"Oh…I'm May and this is Blaziken" she was surprised by the question. "So…what was that blast? Mat asked cautiously.

"Ah… that was Umbreon's shadow ball. I made sure it used its weakest for the very reason you just showed" her eyes seemed to look through her.

"Showed what?" she was confused. I mean really, what did she show?

"You showed what could happen if it were to hit the cliff or a human" her eyes still seemed to see through her.

"You mean almost falling off…?" May was slightly baffled.

"Yes…"her eyes softened as May averted her gaze. She walked over to May and comforted her. May, finally, got the full shock of almost falling to her death. Marina talked to her and eventually May calmed down.

"I have a question…its pretty silly though" May blushed from awkwardness.

"Sure" Marina was glad May was talking again.

"U-um…Are you dressed like me because…you're a…a…a fan?" May was completely unnerved by Marina's "all seeing eyes".

"Why would I be your fan?" Marine was screaming inwardly 'How dare she? Who does she think she is?'

"Well you know I am one of the top coordinators in the world" May couldn't help but smirk. She was expecting Marina to jump on her and start freaking out. That never came. She stopped smirking and looked at Marina. Marina did have a spark of admiration in her eyes.

"So…if you're a "top coordinator", than how many ribbon cups do you have?" Marina knew all about May, so she all ready knew the answer.

"N-no, not yet. But I plan to get one this up coming grand festival. D-do you have any?"

"Me? Well…yes I do. Do you know who I am?"

"No. Should I?" May was curious now. 'Who is this girl?'

"I'd think you should. I am Marina, 12th best trainer in the world" she said proudly.

"12th BEST!!??" May was shocked. I mean, sure Marina looked really tough but not that tough. 'Wow. If Ash found out he would challenge her immediately, but…who would win? Probably Marina.'

"Okay, so if your "12th best" how many ribbon cups do you have?" May was a little skeptical.

"6 of course" May was shocked. 'SIX!!! How did she get six ribbon cups?...never mind.

"So…what other pokemon do you have?" 'Of course Umbreon didn't do it all by itself'

"Well…I have Umbreon, Charizard, Typhlosion, Pigeot, Sceptile, and…I'll tell you the other when the time comes.

"What time?"

"Never mind, forget I said anything." They continued to talk and became closer and closer friends. "Well a good way to…What is that?" They had been in a deep poke block conversation when a Flygon appeared in the sky. It had only been ten minutes since they met, and it surprised Marina that no one noticed the explosion. It was about time. May watched the green dragon carefully, and saw it make a 90o turn, and the turn was heading straight for them. She squinted and saw that on top of the Flygon was a trainer with green hair. It was…

2hott4u: HA! But all you know who it is…and if you don't YOU'RE A NOOB! Just kidding…I could be considered a noob by the more experienced people.lol. This is oro for the record.
