Chapter One- Thriple the Harley
It was early morning. Six o' clock to be exact. And what a surprise that the only person up was May! Who would've ever thought that she could wake up this early?
As it goes, May was going to register for the Celedon City contest. But at this hour, who would be awake? A certain green haired co-ordinator, thats who.
May went to the contest hall so that she could be the first to register in an hour. She happend to see Drew was staying at the pokemon center, so she didn't just want to be one of the first ones to sign up. She wanted to be THE first.
" This'll show Drew," May muttered.
" What'll show me?" said a voice.
" Ahhh! Drew? What are you doing here?" May asked turning around.
" I'm waiting for the hall to open so I can register," Drew said. " What are you doing here? Surely you can't be waiting to register this early," Drew said.
" Why not"
" Because you're not the most organized person I know. So what are you doing her"
" I am here to register for the contest!" May cried.
" Really? Well what a surprise," Drew said.
" I'm going to be first," May said confidentaly.
" First after me," Drew said.
" What"
" Well I got here first, so its only fair that I get to sign up first," Drew said.
" Not if I get in line first," May said, standing right in front of the desk.
" Actually, you're bound to get hungry soon, because usually, people eat at this time," Drew said. " Then, I'll be first in line, while you get some food. You'll probably go to the vending machine," Drew said.
" What about you?" May asked.
" I've already eatan. But you're not smart enough to do that, now are you"
" Even if I do get hungry, I won't move until I'VE REGISTERED," May yelled the last words.
" Well, seeing how weak you are, not only in pokemon contests, but also in strength on your own, you'll faint if you don't eat," Drew said.
" Thats what you think," May said. She actually could stay without food for more than an hour. She remebered a time she yelled at her mother. As punishment, her dad made sure that she didn't get any dinner until she apologized, which took quite a while because she was really mad at her mom.
" Really? Well, okay, but we'll just have to see," Drew said. Un fortunatly, niether of them were first.
When the contest hall opened, the lady at the counter, named Zoe told them that regisration was going on for two days, some thing they knew. She also told them that regisration started yesterday.
" What? You mean today is the second day of registering?" May cried.
" Yup. But only one girl and one boy, a girl named Carol, and a boy named Doug signed up yesterday. May did an anmie style fall, which got Drew the third sign up.
' Hey, thats not fair!" May cried.
" If you want to be fourth, then I suggest you sign up now, before someone else takes your place," Drew said smugly.
May quickly signed up and followed Drew outside.
" Why, may I ask, are you following me?" Drew asked.
May had a good come back this time. " No you may not ask," she said. " Hey isn't that...Harley!" she cried.
" What, Harley? No way, not agian," Drew said.
" Well then, shall we go see what he's up to this time?" May asked, sighing.
" Why not?" Drew said, sighing as well. They wlaked into the contest hall.
" Hey Harley," May said.
" Well, well, well, look who's here, y firneds May and Drew," Harley said.
" Yeah right. What are you planning this time? And don't give me that 'Oh May, I've changed, I'm totally devoted to helping you win' routine," May said.
" But I have changed," Harley said. "Not completly, but I've changed. Harley signed up fifth for the contest and then May and Drew followed him outside.
" So, care to tell us what you're up to?" Drew asked.
"No I don't actually," Harley said.
" Hey, thats my comeback to Drew...sorta!" May siad
" Whatever. Anyway, if you must know, I'm no longer after you May. Or you Drew. Or any of you're pokemon. I'm after everyone else in the town. So that weather they're in the contest or not, they'll only be three people left! Then, I can win," Harley said.
" Wait, what exactly are you trying to do?" asked Drew.
" And what makes you think you can get away with it"
" And how come you're so sure you'll win against us"
" And"
" Well Drew, it looks like you ran out of questions. But do you really think I'm going to tell you all of that?" Harley said.
He walked.
" Well, I don't know why I'm asking you this, but do you want to do some undercover work?" Drew asked.
May nodded. Let me go wake up the others, they can help too," May said.
" Okay, I'll come with you, you might need help. I mean who wants to wake up to you first thing in the morning?" Drew said, smirking.
" They'd want to wake up to me more than you," May said.
They argued all the way back to the pokemon center, and they got loudest when they reached May's room. She opened the door and woke up Ash, Brock, and Max, and Misty, who was traveling with them, and told them what had happend. They said they would help. The minute they got outside, both Max and Drew regretted going woth May.
" Its time for another exciting episode of 'May's Expedition'!" she said.
Ash, Misty and Brock smiled.
Max said, " Oh no, not that agin. When will you quit"
Drew said, " Why did I ever ask you to do this"
" Lets concentrate on Harley here," Ash said. " We should split up and search for him. We cna decide what to do then," he said.
" Can we have cool code names and stuff?" asked Max.
" Now who's the crazy one?" May teased.
" Actually, that's not a bad idea," Misty said.
" We could keep in touch with walkie talkies," Ash said.
" Cool!" May said.
" What is this, a game or something? I din't really mean undercover work!" Drew cried, bored with their silliness. ' Besides, we don't have walkie talkies"
" Sure we do, I have them," Ash said, as he took out three.
" Why do you have those?" Misty asked.
" Because...well..." Ash said, embarrassed.
" Nevermind, forget I asked, I do not want to know!" Misty said.
" Lets rotate groups," Brock said. " I'll go with Ash first, Misty and May, Drew and Max. Then, me May, Max and Misty, Ash and Drew. Last we'll have Ash and Misty, me and Max, and May and Drew, no complaints"
"I don't think we'll need to rotate that many times, but whatever. May and I will check..." Misty started.
" At the mall!" May cried.
" No, we'll check downtown, away from the mall," Misty said.
" Brock and I can go checjk at the pokemon center and the contest hall," Ash said.
" Then, since I guess we're all checking in big places. Drew and I will ave to go the mall. Why am I with him?" Max said.
" I don't want to be witha a kid either you know," Drew said.
Not wanting to answer, Misty, May, Ash, and Brock ran away to check in their places.
" How immature," Drew muttered, walking ahead ogf Max, going towards the mall.
With Misty and May
" Okay, so what should we do if we see Harley?' May asked.
" Well, Ash would probably want to battle the answer out of him, and Drew might try to demand it. I guess we should do both. We should confront him. We should battle him, and demand the answer when he loses, after the battle is over," Misty said.
" And if we don't win"
" Of course we'll win," Misty said confidentaly.
" Win what?" asked a voice.
" Harley!" May said.
" Hey, aren't you that redhead who just joined May's little group?" Harley asked.
" Yes I am, and we challenge you to a double battle. If we win, then you have to tell us what you're planning to do to the people of this town," Misty said.
" Okay, but prepare to lose," Harley said.
With Ash and Brock
" When we find Harley, lets forget about the confronting. Lets bttle him!" Ash suggested.
" Okay, we'll make it a double battle," Brock agreed.
" Make what a double battle?" a voice asked.
" Harley!" Ash cried.
" We want you to tell us what you are going to do to the townspeople. If you double battle us, and you lose, you'll have to tell us," Brock said.
" Okay, but you're going down," Harley said.
Here's Max and Drew
" So what approach are we going to use with Harley? I just turned ten, andI've got two pokemon, a Ralts and a Treeko, so if you want to battle..." Max started.
" No, we're going to be direct and just ask him. We'll do whatever it takes to get the answer out of him," Drew said.
" Get what answer out of who?" asked a voice.
" Harley!" Max said, with out having to turn around.
Drew and Max did turn around then. Drew said, " We want to get an answer out of you about what you're plannign with the contest and the townspeople"
" Okay, you can try, but you won't get an answer out of me," Harley said.
All three groups on walkie talkies
" We found him...Harley," Misty, Ash and Max said.
" What, but we found him!" May, Brock and Drew said.
