Prologue
"Where exactly are we going?" asked Max. May and Max were on their way home after their long journey with Ash and Brock in the Hoenn region.
"There's a contest in this next town, and I want to enter!" May answered.
"But you just got to the top eight in the Grand Festival!" Max whined "why do you want to enter another contest?"
"Oh Max," May sighed "You're such a spoiled sport."
"Don't you think we should at least take a break?" Max asked "We've been walking, excuse me, running ever since we left Ash and Brock."
"I guess your right," May mumbled. Max then fell over on his back, exhausted.
"Hey May?" he asked
"Yah Max?"
"Do you have any idea where we are?"
"Not really…this map says we are just about to enter a wood on the outskirts of Rockwood Town…that's where their holding the contest, pretty weird name huh?" May commented that the name of the town was odd only when Max started to snicker, all she cared about was the contest anyway.
"But the map also says…oh…" May looked a bit worried about something.
"What?" Max gave her a puzzled look.
"After these woods, there's a mountain, and we have to walk across some ledges to get around it. The map tells which paths are best but…"
"But what, Are you scared May? To tell you the truth I'm not surprised."
Both May and Max turned their heads to see Drew with his familiar smirk on his face. He was walking up the hill to where May and Max sat.
"No I'm not, for your information Drew!" May shouted "I just happen to be thinking it might be hard for Max to walk across." May and Drew both glared at each other, Drew was now right next to them.
"So Drew," asked Max "what are you doing here?"
"Heading for the contest, and I assume you're doing the same?"
"Oh of course, you're not rude to my little brother, but I'm an exception." May huffed. Drew pretended not to hear.
"I say your both crazy," Max said "you just finished the Grand Festival and you're already heading for a contest?!"
"Yup" May and Drew both answered.
Max sighed "I guess I'm not getting out of this one…"
"Didn't we pass that tree already?" May asked
"How can you tell, they all look the same!" Drew yelled, annoyed.
"Maybe she's right," Max complained "I don't think we'll ever get out of here." He looked at May and Drew who were still glaring at each other "Will you two at least try to get along once?" he whined
"No!" they both shouted.
Max sighed and looked at his pokenav "well, the map is wrong, this stupid thing isn't working, and it's getting late. I say we stop and camp out."
"Fine with me," May answered. Drew didn't say anything.
