Curse of the Black Rose

Chapter 1

I have decided! I'm going to write a sequel to my first story, Looking Through A Mirror. Thanks for the idea IchigoHatake!

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about I suggest reading "Looking Through A Mirror" before reading this. Just a suggestion. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.

"Drew! We're almost there!" a cheery voice shouted over the loud boat noises and waves, the girl pointed to the tiny speck of land far off in the distance.

Drew grinned and nodded at his girlfriend. The two were on a ferry headed straight to Sinnoh. Drew turned to look at his girlfriend, who was admiring the ripples in the sparkling water. Her long chestnut hair was being gently blown by the sea breezes as her sapphire eyes widened at sight of Wailord.

Drew and May had been dating for almost an entire year now, despite their occasional bickering and rivalry, the two cared for each other deeply.

"Attention all passengers," the captain announced. "We'll be arriving to Sinnoh in five minutes. We hoped you enjoyed your stay."

Drew sat down on the bench with May joining him. He watched as the Wingulls flew around excitedly.

"Remember my first contest?" May asked, eyes sparkling.

Drew smiled, thinking back, "Yeah, you improved so much since then."

-Flashback-

"Good battle, May," Drew acknowledged. May shook her head sadly.

"I lost in the second round," May replied. "At this rate, I'll never catch up to you."

"That's true," Drew nodded thoughtfully. "If you got Torchic to use Ember differently..."

May glared at him. Drew trailed off and sighed.

He put his hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "Just keep trying May, you can always try again next time."

May looked at him, eyes tearing up. A single thornless red rose was thrusted in front of her face.

"I'll beat him in the last round for you, okay?" Drew called over his shoulder, heading off for the last round in the contest.

-Flashback ends-

"Of course! How else would I get to the Hoenn Grand Festival?" May smiled answering him.

"You ended up losing to me though," Drew smirked. May pouted.

"You lost too," May retorted, then sighed. "We get to start all over again now. I can't wait to see what will happen in Sinnoh."

"Same here," Drew agreed. "Only two more days until you've been here for a full year right?"

"Exactly!" May exclaimed. "You can barely tell I came from a totally different world at all!" She paused, thinking deeply. "Since magic is really, does this mean we'll have another magically adventure?"

"Hopefully not," Drew replied. "That's causes either an exciting adventure or a problem."

Suddenly, the ship's horn blew, signaling their arrival to Sinnoh.

A new journey, Drew thought as they headed towards the exit of the ship, hand in hand. New rivals, new contests and new problems to face.

As they left the ship, they passed a sign reading, "Welcome to Floaroma Town". Unknowingly, someone was lurking in the shadows, watching their every move.

They're only slowly getting closer to the problem... This is going to be interesting storyline~!

Wondering who the mysterious person is? That, will be revealed over time, just you wait...

Be prepare to see more Pokemon Contests, action and contestshipping!

Thanks for reading and have a splendid day!
