Me: Please let me know how to improve in a review.

May: Psyche's Rose does not own Pokemon or the characters in any way

Drew: (sarcastically) If she did May and I would have been married and had 10 kids by now.

Me: That's not entirely true! (whispers) You would've only had 5.

Drew:(sweatdrops) Uh… yeah sure

Me: Anyway, so please

May: Pretty please with a cherry on top

Drew: I'm can't say it.

Me: You can and you WILL!!! (holds up giant mallet)

Drew: Ok, ok, ok…ahem REVIEW!!!

Chapter 1: The New Girl

May's POV

The day I lost my voice was the same day I lost my family. It started out as a normal day. Mom was fixing breakfast. Dad went to work. My brother, Max, and I went to school. But when I came home from dance class that day everything changed. I saw the bodies of my family broken on the floor. A man was there standing over them. Examining them. He looked close to tears. I tried to scream, but I couldn't, so I ran.

When he caught up to me, he held me tight. He told me, "Calm down, I'm here to protect you."

"You liar!" I tried to say, but again nothing came out. I couldn't understand. Why couldn't I talk?

"I can see the experience left your vocal cords useless. Am I right?"

I hesitated, and then nodded slowly.

"Then maybe you should hold still and listen to what I have to say Maybelle Veronica Maple."

I stopped struggling and stared at him. How did he know my full name?

One Year Later

Drew's POV

"Drew, honey, would you mind going next door to see Prof. Sequoia? His daughter just moved in with him. So I thought maybe you should go and make her feel welcome. She about your age." My mom said one night while I was home from my journey.

"I didn't know he had a daughter." I said.

"Well, she's his adoptive daughter really." She said, "So I thought you might like to show her around LaRosse with you pokemon.

Prof. Sequoia's House

When the door opened there stood a beautiful girl about my age. She had shoulder length chocolate brown hair, and eyes the color of sapphires. (AN://you should know the rest, so why should I have to tell you?)

Behind her stood Prof. Sequoia. He was a tall, dark haired man. Wearing a white lab coat.

He smiled and said, "Welcome, Drew. Please come in."

When we were inside and sitting down, he said, "This is my adoptive daughter, May. Her parents died last year and now I'm her legal guardian. So naturally she came to stay with me. Also she's mute a so don't be surprised if she responds to you in sign language."

"If she's a mute then how can she command pokemon?" I wondered.

"Why don't you let May show you", He said. "Go on. Show him May."

May gestured for me to step outside in to the back yard. Then May took out a pokeball. There was a white light and there stood a blaziken. Then took out what looked like a gold whistle. She blew the whistle twice and two ear piercing whistles came out. One short and one long. When the blaziken heard the two whistles, it did a double kick attack to the nearest chair. It fell apart

"So how does she handle double battles?"

May took out another pokeball and a silver bell. There was another white light, and there was an espeon looking like the most innocent thing on the face of the planet.

She blew the whistle three short times and then rang the bell twice. At the exact same time, the blaziken did an ember attack on espeon. I couldn't see why she was having her pokemon attack each other. Then without warning espeon used confusion to stop the attack and made the fireballs of the ember attack look like they were dancing around it.

No One's POV

May ran the bell one more time and espeon used the Morning Sun attack. It glowed like the soft light of a candle while still using confusion to hold Ember in midair. Overall it looked gorgeous. Not that Drew would admit to it. May blew the whistle again and Blaziken used skyupper cut on the seen, which sent sparkles everywhere. Espeon gracefully jumped onto Blaziken's and all three of them bowed.

"May used to be a coordinator before her parents died and now she's thinking of going to the Gemini Region to enter their contests as soon as she finds a partner." The Professor said.

"Why does she need a partner?"

"Because," May signed, "the Gemini Region Contests are double contests, which means that you have to have a partner to enter."

Me: Ahh… It feels good to be finished

Drew: It took you two weeks, three days, and 4 hours and 35 minutes to come up with that thing you call a chapter?

Me: I didn't know you were counting Drew.

May: well I liked it.

Me: thank you May!!! (hugs May)

Drew: May you like everything.

Me: O and by the way I hold all rights to the name Gemini Region

Drew:(sarcastically) Good for you

Me: I'll pretend I didn't hear that last sarcastic bit Drew

May: Like we said before please please review

Me: If I don't at least five reviews by the end of this week I'm discontinuing this story!

May: Go on. Press the little green button. If you don't then she's discontinuing and you don't want to see that, do you? Is it that big of a chore?
