Wow.
Thing is, I was fixing my stories and since this was my very first uploaded fanfic it goes first right? Right. Then I started reading them because I felt so accomplished.
Turns out I doubled the first chapter. I overwrote the second chapter "Misty, Dawn and Paul incoming" with the same first chapter "Meeting Drew"
I tried finding the file for the second chapter in my computer but I wasn't able to so I have to repeat it all over again…
Anyway, Pokemon does not belong to me~

May's POV
"Hey guys! It's the battle tower!" Ash exclaimed running toward the large building ahead of us.
"We can see that." Said Drew in response.
Just as we were at the entrance of the dome a familiar figure emerged from the door. "Misty!" every one shouted excluding Drew.
"Hi! It's been such a long time! How are you?" asked Misty her Togepi still in her arms.
"We're cool, but what are you doing here?" Ash asked obviously hogging all the attention from his former companion.
"Well, all the gym leaders from the four regions were called for an emergency meeting with the director at the battle tower it just finished, I was on my way home but well, here I am." She said smiling.
Ash smiled "Well we –"
"We were going to eat before going to go the battle tower and battle… right Ash?" Brock interrupted giving Ash an it's-been-a-long-time-Misty-do-you-wanna-hang-out look.
Ash immediately understood "Yeah, do you want to come with us, for lunch maybe?" he laughed, scratching the back of his neck.
"Sure thing!" Misty smiled walking along with Ash.
I looked at Drew then at Max who we're also looking at me. "I think we're invisible." I said jokingly. They agreed though, nodding at the same time.

Brock's POV
After lunch we headed straight to the research laboratory where we helped Deoxys recover – also where I met Rebecca – but I noticed something fishy about Ash and Misty also May and Drew during the time we we're eating.
I don't know they're all lovey-dovey? No, it's like even though they all just met each other today again, it's like they've been communicating for past few months without seeing each other.
I placed a finger under my chin. "Hey, what are you thinking about Brock?" I heard Max ask.
"Nothing much." I grinned at him, I looked ahead to see Ash and Misty walking normally with each other and May and Drew bickering non-stop. I shook away my thoughts as we reached our destination.
We entered the silent laboratory. We saw Plusle and Minun as we walked in deeper into the lab. Pikachu talked to them, I guessed he was asking where Tori was.
"Is someone there?" we heard someone say from the other side of the room. It was Tori, his hair a bit shorter but you can tell he grew taller. "Ash? Max? Is that you guys?" he asked again walking toward us.
"Yeah Tori!" Max exclaimed.
"Hey guys! It's been such a long time!" he said, Plusle and Minun jumped on his shoulders.
"We knew you'd be here, we we're on our way to the Battle Tower so we thought we'd stop by." I said
"I see, the Battle Tower. Hey Ash. I think I'm ready now, I challenge you into a tagged team battle." Tori smirked.
"Tagged team? Who's going to be your partner Tori?" asked Max.
"You Max." he grinned.
"Really? I never thought I'd get to battle Ash!" Max said happily he ran to his bag and readied his pokeballs.
"Okay but who's going to be my partner?" cried Ash.
"I can be –" Misty said but was interrupted by a voice from behind.
"Me." A tall figure came out of the dark. He had long purple hair and had a scary look on his face.
"Paul." May said. In an instant I saw Drew glare at the new guy.
"Paul?" Ash shouted "What are you doing here?"
"Working."
"Oh so you guys also know each other? Paul here is helping my dad for some outdoor research." Tori explained.
Ash sighed then looked up at Paul "Okay. Let's go."
"Nn."

May's POV
I sat beside Misty while we were on the bleachers I noticed she looked depressed about something. "Misty? What's wrong?" I asked.
She gave me a weak smile then shook her head. "Nah, don't mind me I'm just being the usual emotional Misty that I am."
"Is this because you weren't paired up with Ash for the battle?" I knew I figured it out the moment she suddenly stood up protesting that it wasn't the case.
"Excuse me! Can you please give me some space? Thank you." I moved a bit then turned to the bearer of the voice. I had to wait for my eyes to adjust to the darkness of the stadium before I could tell who it was. "Dawn? Is that you?"
"Yes it's me who do you think –" she said as she was fixing the plastic of her popcorn then paused to look at me. "May? May!" she cried grabbing me for a tight hug.
'That's four for us here in LaRousse' I thought, hugging Dawn back.
"It's so nice to see you! Who are you with?" she asked.
"Oh. The four of them down there, Brock, Drew and Misty." I enumerated. Dawn looked over at each one of the names I said then waved her hand.
"Everyone this is Dawn." I smiled.
"Hi Dawn, I'm Misty." She smiled reaching out her hand for dawn to shake it.
"Hi Dawn! Nice to see you again!" Brock said grinning
"Ah yes, she's the novice who beat you at the Wallace Cup contest." Drew smirked.
"Hey! May was good okay? She did her best it was by luck that I won against her!" Dawn shouted shooting up from her seat.
"Dawn, sit down, it's okay" I pulled her down. "Don't make ruckus."
"Sorry May, it was because someone was insulting you!" Dawn said obnoxiously saying the line for Drew to hear.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm used to it." I smiled.
"What? Why?"
"He always does that. And I told you, I'm used to it. The trick is to make a good comeback." I gave her a wink.
"Well. I don't like him." She crossed her arms over her chest and faced forward to the battle.
"If I told you he gives me roses will you forgive him?" I whispered.
"Roses?" Dawn shouted again.
"Will you stop shouting Dawn? Technically. okay?" I covered her mouth while she panted. I turned my head to Drew's direction, he who had an eyebrow raised.
"Okay I forgive him." She smiled like a maniac.
I sighed then turned to Misty who was watching the battle with utmost attention. "Mist, what's the –"
"Challengers Max and Tori wins!" The emcee announced. I clapped my hands so hard, my palms became red.
When the four of them went back up the bleachers Ash and Paul were exchanging blames.
For instance: "It's your fault Pikachu tripped." Or "Is it my fault that your Pokemons are just plain stupid?" And "Don't call my Pokemons stupid you—"
Yup. Good thing Brock stopped them. I hugged Max and Tori at the same time "I'm so proud of you two."
"Thanks May. Max was very cool." Tori said blushing.
"No. Tori had it already from the first attack." Max said giving Tori a high five.
"You guys were awesome! You did great beating that Paul." Dawn winked at the two.
"Alright. Should we all head to the hotel now?" Brock asked.
"Hey. Don't bother you can stay over my house." Drew said joining the circle.
"Will that be okay? We're quite a number." Asked Ash.
"Yeah."
"Okay. How about Tori, Misty, Paul and Dawn?" Ash asked again.
"I have to go straight home" Tori replied smiling.
"No hotel fees? I'll go of course!" Dawn grinned.
"If it's free I'll join you guys." Misty said. Everyone nodded then looked at Paul. He stared ahead and shrugged.
"Fine." He said finally.
"It's decided! Let's go!" Ash exclaimed.
"Hey guys! I thought of something to do while we're at it." Brock said joining him was a very suspicious grin.
"What is it Brock?" Dawn asked
"We play a game. Truth or Dare without the Dare part." He said, his smile growing wider.
That's it, I changed some parts from what was written before but I didn't change the plot. I hope you guys like it!
My way of writing has changed in the years that passed by I hope you can catch up~
