Chapter one: Beach party fun

May's POV

Stupid Drew! Why does he always have to be so cocky? He annoys me to death! Thinking he's soooo cool and the best in the world. UGH! Why does he always have to mess with me? Dawn and Misty always say that he teases me because he's in love with me but, like that would ever happen.

We were currently at the beach celebrating nothing in particular. We decided to rent a beach house for three days just to get rid of all the stress school has put us through and try to relax and have fun at our stay at the beach.

Well… I guess we are celebrating something… last week I turned fifteen and we were going to celebrate it but on that very special day it just had to rain so we had to cancel the party and move it to next weekend, which is now, and come to the beach to celebrate it.

My parents told me to invite friends that were close to me or have at least met my parents once because we were going to have sort of like a camping trip at the beach and we needed their parents' permission to stay here with their kids and stuff.

Well, back to the topic: Drew. I'm mad at him right now. For what reason, you ask? Because my parents thought he was one of my 'best pals' and invited him over to my party, not because I didn't want him to come… don't think of it like that! it's just every time he comes there's just something bad bound to happen and I don't want anything ruining my party right now.

Soooo right now I'm angered by him because we had an argument about who is the best coordinator and stuff along the lines of that. he had said some pretty harsh things, which he stated was the truth, such as, -'You only won all those contests because your Pokémon worked hard for it and you still had a lot of work to do before you can beat me, May.' – or something like that.

We had all our Pokémon out, letting them enjoy the sun or the nice, cool water that most of them were playing in. My Beautifly was enjoying the beautiful flowers that Dawn had brought to help decorate along-side the beach.

Glaceon was enjoying the water as much as everyone else. She was jumping in the water smiling and splashing water at other Pokémon and people. My smile grew even wider. Glaceon seemed to be a little down in the dumps the whole week, due to the loss of a contest against Drew, but now I was happy she was having fun again.

Sadly, Skitty was left at professor Birch's lab as well as Wartortle, Venusaur, Blaziken( cause it didn't want o get wet) and Munchlax.

The Pokémon that I had brought with me were Beautifly and Glaceon – and two new Pokémon I caught in Sinnoh- Cherrim and a Gardevoir –and one on Mt. coronet- Dratini. Yeah, a Dratini, shocker I know.

Cherrim, as you may or may not already know, Cherrim's bud opens when there is strong sun shine. Her yellow body was sparkling in the blazing heat of the sun. Cherrim was flying near Beautifly, enjoying the release of negative energy.

Gardevoir was helping Misty with the serving of drinks and food. She is such a helpful Pokémon. Misty was smiling as she gave Gardevoir a tray full of cool drinks and other refreshments.

And Dratini was also shyly swimming next to Glaceon. Dratini was my newest edition to my team so she isn't really used to be near so many different Pokémon at one time, but I think she's making new friends. I found Dratini when Glaceon ran into Mt. Coronet and found Dratini there out of the water really sick.

Ever since then, Glaceon and Dratini have been really close o each other. Glaceon is like an older sister to Dratini. I really love that they are getting along so well.

Everyone also had their Pokémon out of their poke balls and I'm not going to take the time to explain were all of them are because that would take an eternity. I can safely say that most of them are either eating or in the water.

I noticed Dawn running to me with her Piplup running close behind her. "Hey May! Have you my backpack? I've been trying to find it for a while but I've looked everywhere and haven't found it yet. I think Kenny might have hidden it to get me back for pushing him in to the water." She scratched the back of her head sheepishly at that last part.

"No, I haven't seen your backpack Dawn. Have you checked inside? You put it there when you went to get your pokeblocks." She looked baffled then she blushed.

"I guess I forgot where I put it… Hehehe… oops. And pushed Kenny into the water again when I thought he had it. Better go say sorry!" she ran off to the other side of the beach.

You're probably asking yourself- 'why isn't she swimming yet or something?'- well, I'll tell you that only crazy people would think of swimming at this time *cough* Ash *cough* it was way too early to be swimming now without getting a major sunburn.

I walked towards the cabin where we'll be staying for three days. When I got inside I noticed it was strangely quiet. I just shrugged it off and walked into the kitchen where I had stored a special medication Nurse Joy had given me for Dratini.

The poor Pokémon had thrown itself out of the water due to the large amount of oil that was dumped into the lake. Dratini had to take it twice a day to make sure the symptoms would completely wear off. I was about to run outside when I heard a Roserade walk in looking around. I recognized it instantly: Drew's Roserade.

"Rose? (May?)" Roserade said as she turned to me.

"Roserade? Where's Drew? Why aren't you with him?" that was weird. Those two are always together.

Roserade shrugged and was about to respond when a person with silver hair came bouncing down the stairs and almost crashed into Roserade if I hadn't pulled her out of the way. I looked back at the guy who had almost ripped over the carpet and was now trying to regain his balance.

"Hey! Aren't you going to apologize? You shouldn't have run down like that you could've-" I had been cut off when he put his hand over my mouth and pushed me into a nearby closet. The first word that entered my mind was: RAIPEST!

I slapped his hand away from me and was about to yell at him when I recognized him. "Brendan?" I whispered, "What are you doing here? Why did you push me in here? How did you get here?" he looked at me then smiled cheerfully.

"You haven't changed May. Still asking a bunch of questions like always." I stifled a giggle. He looked at me weirdly and looked in a mirror that was hanging in the closet. His hair was all messed up and he had pieces of grass in his hair. He was about to start laughing when we heard a muffled sound.

"Roserade! Roser rose! (Hey! Get off me!)" Roserade was under us struggling to get up.

"sorry Roserade!" I apologized and quickly got off her.

"Rose… (it's okay)" she glared at Brendan and was about to say something when there were footsteps nearing the closet.

"Brendan! Where the Hell are you?" yelled a familiar voice.

Brendan stiffened and put a finger to his lips, signaling for us to be quiet. Roserade must have not seen him because she cried out a shrill "Roserade!" and there we heard the footsteps come running this way.

Brendan tensed as the door opened. Roserade looked pleased with herself and Brendan and I screamed as soon as the sunshine lit the small closet.

"Brendan! There you are! And you too Roserade! Huh? May?" Drew opened the door and stared at us in a weird way. I had my hands covering my eyes and Brendan had me in front of him using me as a human shield.

Brendan smiled awkwardly, "Uh… hey Drew what's up…" Drew glared at him and reached for my arm. "May, everyone's looking for you. Better hurry and go. They said something about Dratini…"

"OH NOOOOO!" I forgot about Dratini! If I don't get to Dratini on time, she might pass out! Hang in there Dratini!

I pushed Drew out of the way and ran through the kitchen and straight to the railing of the beach house. I saw everyone crowding around Dratini. Friends and some random people who were just passing by. I panicked even more. I didn't want to waste time going down he stairs so I leaned against the railing and jumped off.

"Whoa! Hey May! That was dangerous!" Brendan said jumping off also.

I didn't turn back I just kept running. I had to help Dratini! I couldn't let her get knocked out right now! Not when she was just recovering!

I pushed my way between the crowed with people giving me nasty glares but I ignored them all. When I finally reached hem I saw something I did not expect. There sitting on a rock was- "Manaphy?" the said Pokémon looked at me and smiled.

"May! Love you! Love you!" he looked as if he wanted to bounce into my arms but in his arms he had my Dratini. Drew and Brendan stood behind me with everyone else with their mouth open. Ash came near us to see what all the commotion was about and he grinned when he Saw Manaphy.

"Mana! Mana mana!" Manaphy cried with joy of seeing his 'mother' and her friend. May ran over to Manaphy with tears in her eyes. "Manaphy!" I didn't care if I was getting wet or not I wanted to see how my Dratini was doing. Manaphy's eyes shifted to Dratini and the prince gave her a smile and let May come closer.

Meanwhile, Everyone circled Ash, Max and Brock asking how they were able to meet the 'Prince of the Sea' Ash chuckled lightly and began explaining everything to them from Jack the ranger to the end where he and May helped save the day.

Everyone turned to Manaphy and smiled at Manaphy while he stared back curiously, but ignored hem and began swimming circles around me while I gave Dratini the medication. I laughed when Dratini instantly got up and joined Manaphy in the water. Glaceon swam up and joined in on the fun too.

I just stood there and laughed. There was something fishy about the water they were swimming around. I noticed something move around the water that wasn't the three small blue forms that were swimming around me. I kept my eyes open for any trouble.

The water reached my chin but I was keeping a close eye on my two Pokémon and Manaphy. Suddenly I was pulled underwater and I almost screamed but when I looked at my captor, I just smiled. Brendan. He had already changed or he was wearing his swimming trunks under his clothes because he must have changed really fast to be in them now and not a few minutes ago.

I looked at myself and noticed that I was still in my sundress I had on earlier I blushed knowing that it would stick to my frame very tightly but right now I had to go up for air like the non-water Pokémon I was.

I looked at Brendan, his Pokémon were out and playing with mine and the other Pokémon. I blushed when I caught him staring at my chest which revealed my undergarments beneath my sundress. I shoved his head down in the water and he childishly started making bubbles.

I swam back to shore and ran to the cabin to change. Once I was done I walked back to the beach with a two piece bikini that was red and the top part had a little gold hoop in the front that the strings go through to tie them. I jumped into the water and swam down deep until I saw what I was looking for – or rather what I felt was wrong- there was a Tentacruel not so far from the other Pokémon

It was watching them so intensely that it didn't even notice me staring at it. I began to lose air so I swam up and sucked in a big breath of fresh air. Everyone was staring at me and I didn't exactly know why. Dawn's eyes widened and her mouth hug open. Misty was trying to tell me something but I couldn't understand her.

Ash was incredibly pale and the rest of my friends looked similar to Dawn. "What?" I asked wanting to be informed on what they were staring at. Max signaled for me to turn around and when I did I saw the Tentacruel staring at me with its freaky eyes and I was about to swim back to everyone else when I felt it wrap one of its tentacles around my waist and lift me up into the air.

"MAY!"

"Mana!"

" Beauti fly fly!"

"Cherrim!"

"Glace!"

And other calls were heard throughout the beach as my friends witnessed me being lifted up by the glaring Pokemon. I came face to face with my old childhood friend that once was good but now worked for a gang that kidnapped Pokémon and their trainers and what he had in his hands shocked me. I didn't even know how he managed to get them all so quickly. All my Pokémon were in cages above the Tentacruel and next to him… but he also had a dear Pokémon to me… he had … Manaphy.

"Nice to see you again May. Now I suggest you come peacefully before your Pokémon start crying for mercy." He smirked as I glared at him…

'Erick… why…?'
