Roses are red

Violets are blue

Roxie fell in love with a girl

So Drew, STFU!

Kunichwa! This is my first story that I've published. It is basically about Drew's Roserade (whom we will call Roxanne, or Roxie for short), and how she falls in love with another female Roserade, much to Drew's dismay. It's rated T for language, pokemon homosexuality, and other stuff yet to be known.

And a little note: I've changed all the characters' ages to 15, because I think 10 is waaay too young to start an adventure. So, we're going to pretend they've been 15 this whole time. And another thing, this story has mild contestshipping, not a lot though so contestshippers, if you're looking for a DrewxMay story, this isn't it. And for those of you who hate contestshipping, I'm sorry, but bear with me.

Unfortunately, I do not own Pokemon. :(

/Roses Are Red/

Chapter 1

The Apple Falls Far from the Tree

If you asked her, Roxanne would told you that she did a beautiful job in her combination. She started off with Sunny Day, the strong sun becoming fiercer than ever, and launched a powerful Hyper Beam up towards the sun. The sun's light created glitters in the Hyper Beam and as the beam changed direction and came back to the earth, she created a shield by Protect, creating an umbrella covering. The beam showered its glitters down like rain in a marvelous sight. It was beautiful; it was perfect.

At least in her opinion.

"Horrible," Drew said as she finished. "It won't do."

But of course, everything she did was horrible. "But I think I really nailed it this time, Drew!" the Roserade exclaimed in protest. "I'm pretty sure I did a good job."

"No. There's not enough glitters in the beam. The sun wasn't strong enough. The shield looking like a messy blob. It's all wrong!" He sighed. "Dammit, we're never going to win the contest at this rate." He pressed his hair back with his hand and glared at the pokemon. "Again. And this time do it right."

Yeah, sure, let's do that. As if she hadn't been doing it right the whole time.

For the twenty-second time that day (yes, she has been counting), she produced what she thought was the perfect combination. The perfect move for the Eterna City Contest. It was beautiful, dazzling: the crowd will go wild with this! But no, a certain bastard thought it was a piece of crap and she had to do it over and over and over and over…

After she finished her Protect, she stumbled a little, feeling weak. The shield wavered and the beam struck her. She gasped and collapsed on the floor, twitching. Drew simply stared at her. "Don't tell me you're tired already."

We've been out here for hours! She thought angrily, but didn't reply.

Drew groaned. "Fine. I guess we can't do anything about it." He grabbed one of her arms and pulled her up. "Come on, let's go to the PokeCenter."

They marched out of the empty park and toward a building with a big red roof. Roxanne smiled. It was like her sanctuary, that place. The building provided relief every time she nearly dies doing Drew's impossible demands. They entered the building and Drew quickly approached Nurse Joy, telling her how Roxanne was tired. The Roserade just rocked back and forth on her "feet," staring sullenly at the ground. She glanced up as the door opened to see who had arrived and smiled. "Hey, Drew, Maple twelve o' clock."

Drew glanced up at the brunette girl that walked into it. He smirked, flipped his hair back as if trying a pathetic attempt at looking sexy, and approached her. "Let me guess: you're entering the Eterna City Contest, aren't you?"

The girl glanced at him and glared. She had shoulder-length brown hair and dark blue eyes. A red bandana was fixed on her head and she wore a red jacket, white skirt, dark blue shorts, and white and blue gloves. A yellow fanny pack wrapped itself around her waist. "Yeah, what's it to you?"

"Really, May, you should just leave before you cause brain damage to the audience with your stupid performance."

"What you said?!"

Here we go again.

"Why not tell it to my face?!"

"I just said it to your face. Are you really as stupid as you look?"

"Well, I'll have you know that I caught a lot of great pokemon! They'll blow you away, you'll see!"

"Just don't blow me away with your incessant screaming." Drew put his fingers in his ears. "Can you try to keep it down, May? But of course that is even a challenge for you."

She opened her mouth and pouted. "Fine," she said in a quieter voice. "See? That's not a challenge for me."

"Really? You would've thought the opposite."

"Just watch, Drew, I'm going to beat you in tomorrow's contest!"

"Didn't I tell you to keep it down?"May let out a frustrated cry and turned away, walking quickly down the hall. Drew snickered as he watched her leave. Then he paused. "Shit, it's tomorrow."

No shit, Einstein, Roxanne wanted to say but kept her mouth shut. She nodded solemnly.

He let out a frustrated sigh. "Fine. We just have to get up this morning to practice. And this time, make it right." He turned toward the infirmary wing of the PokeCenter. "Come on, Roxie."

And a blur of events followed the next morning. She remembered sleeping safely inside her pokeball until she was pulled out of it and into the real world. Rushing through breakfast, she was pushed into the park and forced to do the combination for what seemed to be a thousand times. Then, she was hurried through her little break and snack as they arrived hastily to the Contest Hall. Checked in and then hurried toward the back room to get ready.

Drew summoned two more pokemon. "Alright, here's the deal," he said, facing Roxanne, his Absol Robek, and his new pokemon, a Froslass named Analie. "Roxie, we're going to introduce ourselves with that combination we've been practicing; get it right. Robek, we'll be fighting in the second stage, and Analie, you're my secret pokemon and we'll beat whoever's competing us in the third stage, got it?"

They all nodded determined. I will make him proud, Roxanne thought. How many times had she thought that and that never came true? Although she refused to admit it, she knew that Drew was a hard person to please, but still she was desperate for his approval.

"Alright, I'm going to go check out the competition. All of you, don't get into any trouble." He left them there, sneaking into another room. The three pokemon all glanced at each other.

Robek frowned. "I feel sorry for ya, Rox; he's probably going to yell at you after you 'didn't get the move right.'"

"Yeah, I only know him for a few weeks now, but already I'm hoping not to ever be the first pokemon," Analie nodded. "Good luck, you need it."

Thank you, that makes me feel so much better, Roxanne thought. She smiled nonetheless. "I'm sure we'll be fine; we've been practicing it all day yesterday and this morning. He's going to be proud, just watch it." Her eyes sparkled in determination.

The absol and froslass glanced at each other and burst out laughing. "That's a good one, Rox!" Robek hooted, tears rolling down his face.

"I never heard anything funnier!" Analie added, suddenly dropping to the tile floor and rolling all over.

Roxanne's cheeks flustered. "It's not funny! It's true!"

"Yeah, sure," Robek said, brushing the tears away. He grinned. "We'll see about that."

Burn in Hell.

She glanced at the clock, realizing the contest was going to begin in five minutes, and wondered what she ever did to piss off "The Asshole Upstairs."
