Chapter 1
May Evans was, to put it in simple words, living a normal life as a normal person. She was mainly known as the girlfriend of Ash Ketchum, the current Pokémon Master. Before becoming the girlfriend of the current Pokémon Master, she was a coordinator aiming to become Top Coordinator. Now, she worked at the Oak's laboratory, being Gary's assistant after quitting coordinating two years ago.
Something that nobody knew, except Lilian Meridian and Solidad, was that on her spare time, she was the "new" coordinator winning ribbons throughout the Kanto region. She has been able to participate under a new name, 'Haruka.' Using different outfits and new (and sometimes her evolved) Pokémon helped her keep her identity a mystery. It was her biggest secret, and she was glad to keep it that way.
However, her secret was on the verge of being exposed by the person she least expected.
Thursday afternoon
May was in Ash's arm watching a scary movie when it was interrupted by a newscast.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have wonderful news that is making coordinating history. We have here the Elite Coordinator, next to Wallace of Hoenn, Drew Shū Hayden!"
The camera shifts to put Drew in the spotlight. Drew's face features are sharper, his bangs almost reaching his eyes. He has on a black long sleeve shirt and dark blue jeans that shows off his toned body, a result of training with his Pokémon.
'He looks different, and taller too… has it been that long since I last saw him?' May thought.
He smiles a cute, small smile, the one he usually gave to May during the times they spent together.
"Just like the Elite Four, the Elite Coordinator is the strongest and most talented coordinator, being above the Top Coordinator. Well Drew, what do you have to say?"
He breathed deeply and started speaking.
"Well first, I have to thank my Pokémon for being next to my side all these years. To Solidad and well… Harley… for pushing and supporting me, and being my worthy rivals."
The camera shifts to Solidad, who waves and smiles, and to Harley, who starts to send kisses to the camera.
The cameraman quickly turns back to Drew. He shakes his head in response to Harley's action but continues on, "I also want to dedicate this last battle to the woman I loved and still love. She pushed me and has been there for me until I lost her two years ago. Haruka, this time, this is for you."
He called out his Roserade, Flygon, and Arcanine. Drew ordered Flygon to use Sand Tomb and his Arcanine to use Flamethrower, the combined attacks creating glass. Then, his Roserade used magical leaf to shape the glass into a rose and used Petal Dance to direct the glass rose to Drew. He grabs it and shows it to the camera, a small blush appearing on his cheeks.
May sat there in shock, her thoughts switching into panic mode.
'Does he knows it's me? But how?'
The more she thought about it, the more obvious it became that he knew it was her. The two person that knew her middle name was Haruka, other than her family, were Lilian and Solidad.
'What if they said something?'
"Sorry ladies, but Mr. Hayden's heart belongs to someone else! Thank you and congratulations on your victory Mr. Hayden. We wish you the best, from all of us here at Cerulean News. Now back to your scheduled programs."
She knew he wouldn't do something that would humiliate him in front of someone, especially in front of millions of people. She was blushing, her face a deep red color once she grasped what he has done. She couldn't believe Drew would declare his love for her in public, for he is not the type of guy to do such things, especially on national television.
Ash didn't take notice and said rather proudly, "He reached his goal, just like me."
May didn't say a word but was just in deep thought throughout the movie, her heart beating rather wildly.
A/N: "Haruka" is her Japanese name and "Shū" is Drew's Japanese name in the anime. Lilian is the host of the Pokémon contests.
Those who have stayed with me throughout this story, remember that "Mary" has been changed to "Haruka" while you continue reading. Like I said before, look at my profile for more information.
