Chapter 1

-Drew's POV-

I was in the middle of the most important decision of my life right now. My emerald orbs keep glancing back and forth between May and her captor. May's bright sapphire orbs showed fear. She had cuts and bruises all over her. And that's not the worst part, she's poisoned! Either I give him the Lustrous Orb or he kills everyone and he's the only one who has the antidote for May's poisoning! This is so frustrating! I never knew making decisions was hard.

Think Drew think! I have 2 options and there's not much time. It's either:

I give it to him and I can get May back or

I don't give it and kill everyone I know!

I heard May saying, "Drew, hurry up please." Her eyes showing tears. "I don't have much time before this poison overtakes me. Just follow your heart Drew and you will know what to do." May said before slowly closing her eyes due to her horrible condition right now.

May was right; I should just follow my heart and do what's right. But before I continue, let's go back to how all this happened.

-Rewind-

I was sitting down in my favorite café, Café Soleil, enjoying a nice, warm latte. I saw Diantha the Champion walk in. She immediately recognized me since I come here every day. She had her usual black hat and dark shades with her long, black trench coat dress to prevent attention. And usually, she has that small smile on her face but she had a serious face this time.

I wonder what's on her mind.

She took a seat perpendicular to me and removed her shades from her sky blue eyes.

"Look, I have a very important favor to ask of you. Will you do it?" she asked in a serious tone.

"Well, it depends on what it is." I replied.

"I was given the Lustrous Orb from a woman from Sinnoh. She said to give you the orb, protect it at all costs and never let it out of your sight. Can you handle it?"

"It's gonna be hard but I'll do it." I said.

"Here it is." handing me the orb covered by piece of cloth.

I gently placed the orb inside my bag somewhere safe.

"Au revoir for now." Diantha said while leaving her seat behind.

When she left, I saw May with her best friend Dawn enter just when she left. May looked exhausted probably from shopping in Boutique Couture with Dawn.

So I'm in charge of protecting an orb. Might as well tell them because I can't keep a secret this big to myself. Back to my latte then.

-May's POV-

We recently came from Boutique Couture in Vernal Avenue. I was exhausted from 3 hours of shopping with Dawn. So we decided to take a break and went to Café Soleil. We ordered 2 frappucinos and took a seat with Dawn. I saw Drew talking with some lady in a black dress trench coat in her mid 20's. She just left after a while and left Drew with a thoughtful look on his face. Curiosity took over me so we walked towards Drew's direction. He saw us coming. He took a sip of his latte and flipped his fringe.

Time for a little interrogation.

"Hey Drew." I said.

"How much did you hear?" he asked with a cool composure he always had.

"We didn't hear anything. We just got here. What were you talking about with that lady that just left?" I asked in curiosity. He let out a small sigh of relief. That just raised my curiosity more.

"Shopping with Dawn again?" he asked trying to change the subject.

He's not getting away that easy.

"I asked you first. Now answer the question. Don't even bother trying to change the subject. And yes."

"Okay, Okay. You got me. I'll you two in somewhere private. I'm going to Camphrier town. You coming?"

"Yes. We just need to go back to the hotel and grab our stuff. Wait for us?"

"Sure." Was all he said before going back to his hot beverage.

"C'mon Dawn let's go." I said snapping her out of her trance.

"Coming!" Dawn said while picking up her hot drink.

We exited the café, thinking

He better keep his promise.

-Dawn's POV-

We went on our way to Café Soleil and boy shopping was fun as always. We saw Drew just as he was done talking to some woman. May made our presence known with a "Hey Drew."

It's better to not interrupt their little talk so I just stayed silent. I let out small sigh.

Wish I had someone like Drew. He seems like he's always there for her. Maybe I can get someone like him one day.

"C'mon Dawn let's go." May said snapping me from my thoughts.

"Coming!" I replied grabbing my hot drink with me.

-May's POV-

We finally go to the hotel. We quickly grabbed our belongings and went down to the lobby. We found Drew standing there, waiting for us just like he promised.

So he did keep his promise after all.

Drew started to walk away. Maybe I should wait until he tells me on the way. So we just followed him until we got outside. The tension was getting thick so I decided to break it.

"So Drew, spill already." I demanded while still walking.

"Fine." He said.

He explained everything to us from the Lustrous Orb to him protecting it at all costs. Dawn stayed silent the whole time wanting to listen in as well. He finished when we got to Camphrier Town, which is surprisingly not that far from where we just came from.

"We're here!" Dawn cried.

She was right, we were finally here. Maybe something interesting will happen here. I don't know, just a thought.

Woo first story! Just gonna end the chapter here. Also, Drew might be a little OOC and Paul might be coming out in the next chapter. Sorry if I changed POVs too much. Was it good? horrible? Drop a review for thoughts.
