Prologue
"Hey! You over there!"
May, a long haired brunette, looked up to see a young woman with long brown hair and a pale yellow shirt and skirt to match it hovering right above her. "Is it true you are going out with the Drew Royale?" Today, May was wearing the same outfit she always wore: a red blouse with a white mini skirt and blue shorts. Her signature bandanna with the white Pokéball logo was tied neatly around her hair. Her red shoes had a yellow stripe that stretched around the outside of the shoe and a white strap partially hid her black socks.
Wait, Rhonda from Sinnoh? Why is she in Johto? "N-n-nooo! Of course not! He's just my best friend!"
"Oh come on! You're gonna have to do better than that to—" Rhonda was interrupted by a whack in the head as the pudgy man (who could use a diet) let go of the heavy microphone.
"You! I'm gonna make you pay!" Rhonda roared. Everyone sweatdropped.
"Uh… Rhonda, we're still rolling." The cameraman said.
"Oh! We'll stop for a short commercial break." Rhonda feigned a smile.
"Umm…Rhonda? Why are you here in Johto when you're working for Sinnoh Now!" May questioned.
"I was just checking on the world's hottest coordinating couple!" Rhonda replied with a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Wh-wh-what?" May stuttered. She paused for a moment to regain her composure but ended up exploding, "HE'S JUST A GOOD FRIEND!" After that, Rhonda backed away still unconvinced since May was blushing furiously.
A short distance away, a shadowy figure watched as May hurried back into the school yard after lunch with her white and black gloves clenched in fists.
May heard a crackle in the bushes and turned her head. Stealthily, the shadow slipped away.
Suddenly, a loud noise broke her thoughts. Oh no! It's the bell! I'm so late! She shrugged off what she saw in the shadows. It must be my eyes playing tricks. But she just couldn't convince herself.
In one corner of the school yard, Rhonda was looking depressed.
"Well, that was a disappointment! I came all the way from Sinnoh for nothing!" Rhonda complained. The cameraman and the pudgy man decided to ignore as she prepared herself for the end of the commercial break. "I know! We'll just have to catch them in the act!" She cackled evilly.
The cameraman and the pudgy man shrugged to each other as the pudgy man let go of the microphone again.
May: Well, that was embarassing.
Me: Whatevs. This could be so much more interesting.
May: Hey! I'm trying here! By the way, was I really hallucinating?
Me: You'll find out soon enough!
