Hi y'all! This is a fanfiction I wrote a couple of years ago and I was debating if I should publish it or not. So, yeah.

So, this is a Contestshipping with a little of Brunetteshipping. I have to admit, I kind of like the idea of May and Gary together. :3

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Pokémon.

Summary: After nine years of separation, Drew realized that May really is the one for him. And at the most unexpected of times, he met her. But there is one thing. She doesn't remember him at all.

Chapter 1: Unexpected

It has been a stressful day for Drew. As the new head for the Pokémon Contests in Hoenn, he's got the responsibility of organizing the events for all the coordinators around the world, along with the other head from other regions.

Drew has been successful at the age of 18. After being the Top Coordinator at the age of 16, Drew retired from Coordinating and started working for the board of directors of Pokémon Contests and two years later, he was elected as the head for the Hoenn division. He was indeed successful and as others would say, happy and accomplished.

But for him, it's the other way around. Yes, he's in a good life, but in reality, he is miserable, after losing someone so precious to him. It has been nine years.

"Alright, Mr. Hayden, everything is set for the gathering of the coordinators. But then, we still haven't talked to the Events division of Richissime Hotel. The head for their division is still on a business trip when we arrived there. But the secretary there told us that the head is back." Jonathan, his assistant spoke, cutting his train of thoughts. Drew looked at his assistant. "I understand that. I'll just talk to them personally since I'm free today." Drew told him. "Alright sir, I'll see you later and give you updates."

A knock on the door echoed. "Come in." Drew yelled. He knew who it was, from the moment it opened.

"Solidad," he called out. The pink-haired woman smiled at him, and as if it is his cue, Jonathan exited the office. Once the assistant was far from earshot, Solidad spoke. "Tough day, right?" Drew gave her a nod and said, "Always." She gave him a sad smile and said, "Don't worry, she will be back. When you see her at the Coordinators Ball, you tell her what you really feel, okay?"

They had a little chat and later, Drew told his assistant that he's going to Richissime Hotel.

"Good afternoon, Sir, this is Richissime Hotel, what can I do for you?" "I'm looking for the head of the events division." The staff smiled at him. "Why yes, she's here. Please wait for her at the waiting area." She said as she guided Drew on the empty sofa. He looked around the place as he sat. It was beautifully designed and it somehow felt like home.

"Oh really, Lianne? Who's there?" a voice said, making him pause. That voice. His heart started beating so fast. Is that her? When the source of the voice exited on the office door, his eyes widened.

"May?"

NOTE: So what happens when they meet? Tune in! :D
