Okay guys, I am attempting something completely new, and starting a DrewxMay fic. I've no idea where I get these plots and the characters may come of as OCish. Try to bear with me on this; I'm getting reacquainted with my long lost love, Pokémon. There's slight AshxMisty as well, and the characters are all about sixteen except Brock who is almost twenty, and Max, who is twelve.
Disclaimer- Y'all should know this from my stories on Naruto. I do not own Pokémon either.
"Speaking"
What's going on in the story

Pokémon talk
It was a warm starry night in a forest near the city of La Rousse. There was no light shining inside it, but a small fire, where a young teenage girl slept in a sleeping bag with her Eevee. She shifted slightly to face the fire that lay on burning logs a few feet away.
It was growing dim.
She felt the warmth around her body slowly get colder. She woke and pulled out a Pokéball. "Combusken, use flamethrower!" A yellow and orange bird that stood on its two legs, spew flames from its beak at the small fire. The fire grew in size and when the Pokémon was satisfied, it stopped. "Thanks Combusken!" BUSKEN!
"Return!" A red beam surrounded the Pokémon and in a flash it was gone. When the girl started to lie back down she realized her Eevee was missing. "…Eevee? Where are you?" She frantically looked around for it. EEVEE!! Suddenly, it appeared leaping into the worried girl's arms surprising her. "HEY! Ugh, Eevee, don't do that! You scared me!" EE! It nuzzled its face into her body settling against the teen.
Soon after she fell asleep, they had company. And it wasn't friendly company. Two men began to look around her little camp area. One of them raided her food stealing all but most of the Pokémon food she had left, leaving nothing for her to eat. The other took her silverware for some reason. The clumsier one, the one who stole her food accidentally tripped over her backpack, falling to the ground with a loud thump.
The girl awoke to see the men standing there grinning sheepishly at her. She furrowed her brows glaring at them. "…uhm, what are you doing?!" "…what does it look like? Uh, duh…We're stealing from you." The other thief nodded. "…I don't think so! Combusken come on out!" The Pokémon from before emerged from the red and white ball. COMBUSKEN! "Okay Combusken, use Fire Spin!"
She pointed in a direction but since it was dark, she couldn't see. So instead of hitting the thieves, the flames met with trees. "OH NO!! HOLD ON MISTER TREE I'LL SAVE YOU!" She pulled out another Pokéball and throwing it in the air. "Squirtle! Use Water Gun on the trees!" A blue turtle appeared and did as it was told. The trees were saved, burnt only a little. "Whew, okay!" She was relieved and focused on the men. "…okay, I can get them this time! I hope…" The girl squinted trying to see them clearly but only saw shadows. She decided to go for it anyway, but before she called out an attack, someone else did.
"Absol, use Flash!"
Suddenly that area of the forest was illuminated with bright lights. She could see them clearly now. "Attack them already." A voice called out from the same direction the lights came from. "I will! Okay, Combusken, use Fire Spin again!" The Pokémon obeyed orders spewing flames from its beak. The two men were covered in flames as they dropped to the ground throwing the items they were stealing. They rolled in the grass attempting to put out the small fires on their bodies.
"This is pathetic…tired of watching these fools. Absol, use Razor Wind."
A Pokémon left the shadows revealing itself. It looked like a mix of a dog and a cat, with white fur, bluish skin, a long tail, and the distinctive half moon shape that emerged from the right side of its face. It raised its head and then threw it forward, as if it had gotten whiplash on a roller coaster. Bright white half moons flew at the thieves, colliding and blasting them into the midnight sky.
"Good job Absol." ABSOL! Absol ran back up to its owner looking at the person as if it wanted to be petted. Its owner gladly brushed their hand through Absol's ivory fur. Ab-Absol!
"Um…hey, thanks…erm, if you hadn't come out of nowhere with your Absol and helped me like that, they would've probably gotten away with my things…" "Yeah. Of course, it's your fault for being out here. All alone, with out anyone to watch you." The girl took this as seriously offensive. "Excuse me? I can take care of myself thank you very much! I'm not some helpless little girl!"
"…okay. Whatever you say, May." The girl apparently called May was shocked. "…I'm sorry, what'd you call me?!" The other person replied, "…May…that's your name, isn't it?" "…well, yes, but how do you know my name? ARE YOU STALKING ME?!?" The shadowed person laughed. "…I have no purpose for stalking you May. I'm not a stalker/rapist. You should know that, seeing me at all those competitions a few years ago." May grabbed a loose strand of her brunette hair and it twirled on her finger thinking. "Who do I know from the competitions…? Solidad?"
"…do I sound like a girl at all?" The person yelled sounding offended.
"Ehehe, um, no…okay…so it's not Solidad. Um, Harley??"
"DO I SOUND LIKE THAT GAY PURPLE HAIRED FREAK?!" The stranger yelled out again sounding even more offended.
"Um…no. There's only one other person I know…Drew?!"
The person stepped out of the shadows. "Bingo." As Drew exited the shadows May took the opportunity to take in his new appearance. He was taller and had a slight muscular build. His green hair was a little longer and his emerald eyes were the same. His clothing had also changed; for he wore jeans like before except they were a darker shade of blue and a black almost skin tight t-shirt. In May's opinion, all she could think of was the following.
Damn, he looks good…
"…it's impolite to stare, May." The brunette blushed. "Well, I'm sorry; I can't look at one of my old rivals?" Drew made his trademark move, flicking his green locks of hair. "Mm, no I don't think so. So sorry. Not."
May frowned, "I see you're still as arrogant as ever, Drew."
"Yeah, and I see you're still as clumsy and slow." At this point May was already fed up with Drew. She scoffed, "Well, no one asked you! Why are you here anyway?"
"One, I live here, and two I like to take late night walks. Is that a problem?" "…you live in the forest? Haha, I thought you were rich, Drew! And no it isn't."
"…I live in La Rousse City, dummy." Drew snorted.
"…oh, yeah that's right you do." "Yeah, duh."
May still had questions for Drew. "Okay, so then how'd you find me?" "I saw the flames from when you missed while I was walking along with Absol, and I recognized your voice when you ordered Combusken to attack."
"Oh. Was I that loud?" "No not really, actually Absol heard you, and ran in this direction when I noticed the fire on the trees." "…again, oh."
Drew yawned making small talk, "Yeah. So…how've you been? Where are your groupies?" "Oh, Max, Ash, and Brock? Um…actually I don't know. They're around…somewhere…"
"Is that why you're traveling alone then? You shouldn't travel alone, especially since you're a girl."
May screeched, "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?"
"Nothing, I'm just saying, there's some freaks in La Rousse. I don't trust you staying alone. I'll stay for the night to watch you." "…erm, why…? I can take care of myself."
Drew retorted, "Well, apparently not, since you burned trees." "…UGH! YOU'RE SO-UGH!!" "I'm so what now?"
May yelled, "YOU'RE SO FRUSTRATING!"
"Thank you." Drew began to sit down on an old tree stump by the fire. "…wait. You were serious about the watching me thing?" "Have I never been not serious?" "…um, no…?"
"Exactly. So to answer your question, yes I am staying. Are you heading to La Rousse?" "Um, yeah I'm entering the competition there. Are you going to be in it?"
"Of course I will. Okay, so then tomorrow morning, we'll head into La Rousse…and get you a hotel room or something. The competition isn't for another two weeks…you're really early."
May frowned trying to get back in her sleeping bag, "….define early…"
"Seven o'clock."
"WHAT!?! You can't be serious, Drew! It's already one! I cannot run on six hours of sleep! I NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP!!"
Drew rolled his eyes. "…uh huh. Well, when we get you a hotel room, you can sleep then, okay?"
May sighed and nodded lying down in her sleeping bag pulling the pillow closer. Combusken trotted up to May staring at her questioningly. Busken? May opened an eye. "Hmm…? Oh, right…Combusken, return…" The orange and yellow bird disappeared in a flash of light. Eevee leaped into May's arms snuggling with the teenage girl.
Meanwhile, Drew settled himself up against a sleeping Absol near the burning fire. He closed his eyes readying himself for slumber. When he almost had fallen asleep, a voice awakened him.
"Good night, Drew."
"Yeah, night."
Whoo, so, first chapter and May has already met up with the new Drew! Will love blossom in La Rousse? Who knows? Ash, Max, and Brock will appear in the next chapter…I think. I dunno. So there's the first chapter, tell me what you think, don't hesitate to flame! It'll help me to work on my Pokémon writing skills! R&R, thanks for reading my very first Pokémon fic!
