I am taking another shot at writing stories, for last time I failed

It just takes to long and I am impatient

I will try harder this time not to get too carried away.

I will also try not to make this to short.

I'm going for a One-shot

It probably won't happen that way

Wish me luck….

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon and if I did there would have already been chemistry between these couples. I would also be happy. Here it is. ; )

(I'm also using my grand parent's old computer so blame the computer for any weird mistakes… not me :D )

"And this is why I do not believe that the mythical Pokemon Arceus created the world." May concluded the speech she had written for Prof. Rowen's English and Pokemon Studies class.

"As usual May I have to congratulate you for crafting such a wonderful speech again." Prof. Rowen complemented as usual. May didn't even have to ask; knew she had done a great job.

"Thank you Prof. Rowen I appreciate your admiration." she said ignoring the dirty looks from the rest of the class.

"Yes May. If this had been any other assignment I would have given you a solid A but today…."

"I did it again; another A+" May thought. She may be an amateur coordinator but at least she did decent in school.

"… Today I think I have to give you a B-" Prof. Rowen finished leaving a stunned May standing embarrassed in the front of the classroom.

"I told you she wouldn't pull that speech off." May heard Drew sneer to Dawn, Kenny and Paul back by where she sat. Her cheeks turned the color of a blooming red rose as she spun and fixed a glare at her summertime rival Drew Hayden. Drew was always the one at the back of the class taking up every opportunity he had to criticize May's work. Heck, she bet he didn't actually bet any one of their friends she wouldn't pull off her speech. But yet a small grin appeared on the faces of her friends as laughs escaped their lips.

"Excuse me Prof. Rowen sir," May started, trying to keep the color in her face to a minimum, "Why didn't I get the usual A on this one, did I not follow the rubric or something…?"

"Well, you see May as far as the quality of your writing, it was an excellent paper." Prof. Rowen told her. Of course, May knew this for English was one of her best subjects.

"But I assume you must have forgotten what I said about, 'touchy subjects'" he finished.

As he finished, May remembered him telling them the week before, "Even though it isn't on the rubric, please avoid touchy subjects."

"Dang it." May thought, "I can't remember anything to save my life."

"Thank you P-prof. Rowen sir, I'll be sure to t-try better n-next time." She stuttered as she headed back to her seat.

"Oh great now I get to listen to the king of arrogance rant and rave about his speech until he goes up." She thought. "Well at least I have Dawn. … Gary is a jerk and Paul doesn't care. Misty will defiantly go on and on about punching the teacher after class for not giving me a better grade…." May sighed inwardly as she went to sit down.

"OWW!" May cried as her tail bone hit the tile floor with an 'umph'.

"Oh wow. Queen of klutz is at it again." Drew remarked sarcastically as the class broke out into fits of laughter.

"Drew, you could at least be a gentleman and help May up." Dawn glared at Drew as she bent down to help May up.

"Owww…" May groaned as she sat down in her chair again. "Thank you Dawn." She thanked her friend as she got comfortable again. "And thank YOU Drew for YOUR help." She scowled at Drew.

"Oh come on May is that the best you can come up with?" Drew sneered. "I bet ASH could have thought of something cleverer to say and we all know he's an idiot."

"Couldn't have said it better myself." Gary commented as he turned around to stick his tongue out at Ash.

"Hey wait, Ash is the stupidest kid on earth so…" Gary turned back around rethinking his comment

"Nuh Uh!" May exclaimed, ignoring Gary and responding to Drew's snide remark.

"You know that's not true…" May growled.

"Ya huh." Drew said exasperated. "And besides, I would be more worried about the people giggling about you fall rather than the quality of your come-backs. You can always work on coming up with good ones for when you talk to me instead of singing when you take a shower."

Embarrassed, May quickly scanned the classroom to make sure no one was still laughing. It seemed as the Prof. Rowen had calmed the class down in the midst of Drew's sarcasm spasm. "Sheesh why can't that guy just give a girl a break?" As if on que, Drew started in on how his project was SOOO much better than May's.

"Hey May," Drew leaned and whispered to her, "If you have a little trouble following directions next time, I'm sure my cousin could help you out…."

"Oh… is he actually going to say something worth listening to this time?" May wondered.

"Are you sure… 'cause that would be great…" May whispered back.

Dawn was just about to step in to que May in on what was going to happen, but Prof. Rowen called her up to give her speech. She just hoped May would get it. May could be so dense sometimes...

"Yeah, he's the best one at following directions in his preschool class." Drew smirked.

"Unlike you, probably one of the dumbest people I know. My cousin could defiantly beat you in a game of memory; he would have all the matches before you even realized the game had started." Drew continued, "Poor May, so delusional she can't even eat a bowl of cereal in the morning without coming to school with a wet bra…"

"DREW WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP YOU STUPID JERK! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?"

"May Maple!" Prof. Rowen shouted.

"Uh oh…." May thought she looked up at the front the class. It then hit her that she had just interrupted one of her best friends who was standing at the front of class room with a shocked expression after hearing May's outburst.

"May you just interrupted Dawn's speech. I hope you're ready because you now have after school detention." Prof. Rowen told with a grim expression on his face.

"Hey May! You get to hang out with me today!" Ash shouted out from the back of the class, waving his hands back and forth.

"Mr. Ketchum now is not the time." Prof. Rowen told Ash. In the back of the class, Misty Waterflower was nagging Ash for being immature again.

"May I'm not sure what the problem was but you can discuss it with me after school today." Prof. Rowen told her. "Dawn, I'm sorry but we are now out of time due to May's interruption. I'm afraid you will have to start over again tomorrow."

"That's okay Prof." Dawn said. May saw her lean over to the Prof. and whisper in his ear. He nodded, looked in May's direction. A thoroughly distraught May stood lifeless where she was as the bell rang. She turned to find Drew and of course, he walked casually out of the class as if nothing had happened.

"Come on May, and we can talk." Dawn said, taking May by the hand and leading her out of the classroom.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Misty's voice rang across the classroom. "Let me come to. I can help."

"Misty, I thought the other day you said you weren't good at stuff like this."

"Well, I guess not…." Misty said, obviously disappointed.

"May is having issues right now. I'll talk to her and we'll meet you at-" May interrupted Dawn.

"'Issues' is it? I'm the one having these 'issues'? What about Drew? Why don't we go work out HIS 'issues'" May said, trying to hold back her tears. Why did Drew always make it seem like she had these "issues" when he was the one who couldn't shut up about how much better he was than everyone else? Than HER? May, with her fists balled and her eyes ready to pour buckets, she ran of toward the old courtyard where she knew she could be alone. Maybe she was overreacting but she wouldn't have if stupid Drew had just kept his mouth shut.

"May wait!" Misty and Dawn said in unision. Misty started to chase after but Dawn held her back.

"Just let her be." Dawn said, watching May run down the hall.

"But we know exactly where she will go!" Misty protested. "I want to make sure she's okay."

"Maybe it would be best if we 'talked' to Drew." Dawn suggested. "After all, he IS the only one who can get her to overreact like this."

"Yes Dawn, that sounds like a splendid idea." Misty said balling her fists as they walked off toward the cafeteria.

~Meanwhile in the courtyard~

"Stupid Drew. The second I do something wrong he always has a snide remark to make."

May muttered, drying her eyes. "When we traveled together last summer, he seemed to finally be giving me the respect I deserve. I guess 7 months is all it takes to change a guy…" May said out loud. May remembered how she would have to tolerate his arrogance; how he would always be so selfish… she lived it though…

"…Nah! What am I getting all depressed for! I can deal with him. Besides, it's just his way of communicating I guess!" Although they were not aloud to release their Pokemon during school hours, she pulled out Eevee and clicked the button on her Pokeball. Eevee was the most subtle of her Pokemon and was able to brighten May up with a single happy cry.

"Ee-e-e-vee!" Eevee said as she leaped out of the Pokeball, ready to see what was going on.

"Hi Eevee!" May exclaimed, scooping Eevee up and spending a few cuddle moments with her Pokemon.

"Eevee, that darn Drew is at it again." She told Eevee.

"E-Eevee?" (What happened this time May?)

"Drew was being a jerk and I sorta flipped out… I had also just gotten a B- on the report I was working on all weekend."

"E-e-e-vee. E-e-eevee-e." (Don't forget May that Drew is your rival. He is a pretty serious competitor and he probably wants to break you down for the contests this summer. He is really taking you seriously)

"I guess your right eevee that does make sense… I wish could find another method though."

"E-vee. Eevee-eevee-e" (like I said, he is competitive. He will do what ever is most effective)

"I guess I'll learn to live with it then right eevee?"

"Vee." (Yep)

May heard footsteps coming down the beaten path. She quickly pulled out her Pokeball again and stowed Eevee away.

"Thanks Eevee." May whispered quickly.

"E-eevee-e-vee" (I'm here when you need me)

"May are you out here?" Dawn's voice sounded.

"We talked to Drew! Come here!" Misty yelled.

"I don't really want to know!" May yelled back.

"No, really May Paul came to prove to you that you should want to know" Dawn shouted.

"Not like I came here on my free will…. Paul muttered as Misty and Dawn dragged him around a corner to where May was.

"Obviously not…" May said Misty and Dawn suddenly had big grins on their faces.

"Okay… so where is this 'proof' I need to hear." May said, feeling a little awkward with her friends standing and staring at her the way they were.

"Come on Paul tell her…" Dawn pleaded.

"Alright, alright…. Nope." Paul said, taking the girls' wrists and running away with them.

"What the- PAUL YOU PROMISED!" Dawn shouted

"Since when did I keep promises?" Paul said. And with that their bickering voices evaporated in the air.

"…Wha…" May stood there putting together what had happened. She sat down when on the opposite side of her, on the pillar, there was a sign.

"Huh. I guess people still bother to post things out here. She said, walking up to the sign. As she got closer she saw it read:

The Rain Game

Coming to Goldenrod High on

4/13/11

The "Rain Game" Is Goldenrod High's newest tradition. For the second year in a row, Goldenrod High….

May skipped over the rest to find the details she knew she needed to know.

…With a Partner (must be of opposite sex) you will be given the task of scouring Goldenrod City for clues and items hidden anywhere within the City. The Winning couple will be promoted to King and Queen of the Rain game. See Prof. Rowen or Prof. Birch for more details.

"That sounds fun! I have to tell Misty and Dawn!" with that, she ran off to go find them.

~Drew P.O.V~

Drew knew May come to this spot like she did every time he went a little over the edge. He might have apologized today, for this had been one of the maddest times he'd seen her but he hadn't had time.

He had staged almost everything. Prof. Rowen had actually given May and A+ and May's "detention" was to make sure the Prof would tell her all about the event. As soon as the three girls were distracted, (they had had nothing to do with his plan) He slipped away before May ran to her secret spot and put the poster up on the pillar by her bench.

He had gotten Paul to make Try and make May curious as to what was going on. (Again, Misty and Dawn had had nothing to do with his plans)

He then made sure Ash got detention too so that he could see if Drew's plan was falling into place. He thought it might be more "fun" to try out an elaborate plan for once. This was the only way he could tell her….

Cool stuff huh? Probably not. It is 7 pages long and I hope I don't decide to abandon it like I did with many other stories…. I may not be talented but this is a good way to waste time in the summer.

R&R all that good stuff, you know what to do. This is my quote on quote "first story" on this website that may not be a failure so… I appreciate pointers.

Thank yee
