Misadventures in Johto

Chapter Two: Not Another Teen Rival!

May tailed Drew as he approached the counter to heal his Roselia.

"May?" Drew turned to his absent-minded friend after Nurse Joy took Roselia's Poke'ball, "Did you get a room yet?"

May's eyes widened in panic, "Oh-no! I need to sign up for the contest!" May ran around in circles and flailed her arms.

"I didn't say anything about the contest!" Drew informed.

"Drew! The contest! What'll I do?!" May yelled in Drew's face.

"Register?"

May blinked, "That's a brilliant idea! C'mon, Drew!" May grabbed Drew's wrist and dragged him out of the Poke'mon Center.

May was completely oblivious to the large sign next to her that pointed in the direction of the Contest Hall.

"I wonder where the Contest Hall is?" May looked around while Drew wondered if it was something in Johto's air that robbed the girl's sanity, "If only there was a sign that showed me where to go..."

... Or cut a portion of her I.Q. points. The sign next to her sweat dropped.

"Drew, look! This sign is sweat dropping! How funny..."

... Or both. The sign face faulted.

"Look, Drew! The sign fell over! How strange..."

... Yep, both.

You're strange, May, Drew thought, I'm worried about you.

"The Contest Hall is over there," Drew pointed at the large building that the sign had previously been pointing at.

"Oh, okay, let's go in!" May ran toward the building in excitement and Drew ran after her.

May soon registered herself and her Poke'mon at the front desk.

"Good luck!" said Vivian.

"Thanks!" May turned to Drew as they headed towards the exit, "Do you need to register?"

"Already have," Drew flicked his hair; a habit known by many fans as the 'Drew Thing'.

May sweat dropped, "Right...," She looked ahead and spotted the young woman she encountered earlier training her Persian. May decided to try to make nice with her. She greeted the teenager as she approached her, "Hi!"

The woman ceased her training and glanced at May and Drew, "Do I know you?"

"We kind of met earlier. I'm May."

"Hmph," Drew 'hmphed' out of jealousy because he wasn't getting any attention from May.

"And this is Drew," At least he got some attention.

The young lady retorted her nose in the air, "I am Tabari Rih Bint Ishtar Adeed, granddaughter of the richest and most powerful man in the world of Poke'mon breeding, Sheik Ali Rih Bint Ishtar Adeed."

"That's nice," May said simply with a huge grin on her face.

Tabari's eye twitched, That's nice?!, she thought angrily, How dare she speak of my superior family name and heritage like that! She will pay!

Little did the small group know that everyone's favorite purple-haired fruit loop and his Poke'mon were watching the scene from behind a rack of surfboards with the cast of 'Full House' painted on them.

"Well, well. If it isn't little May and her stuck-up friend, Drew...," Harley said to himself like he normally does on a regular basis(He once got himself locked up in a lunatic asylum because he had been caught talking to himself. He rehearsed his testimony that he wrote on the walls of his padded room with lipstick that he had to hold in his toes because his arms were bound by a straight jacket. The judge let Harley go after hearing his testimony and after having his whole arm bitten off. The judge was a giant gummi bear).

May had bent over to pet Ramses.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY POKE'MON WITH YOUR FILTHY WET GLOVES!" Tabari screamed at May, causing her to jump up in fright and cling onto Drew.

May's clothes were still wet from being washed down by the random Krabby.

"The nerve!" Tabari turned away from the two children, "Let's continue our training, Ramses."

"Peeeerr," Ramses purred.

May immediately let go of Drew when she realized that she was clinging onto him. They both blushed.

"Yeah... Let's get Roselia," Drew said in order to bread the awkward silence between them.

"You're right, Drew. Let's go eat!" May happily skipped off in a random direction. Drew rolled his eyes and followed her.

Harley stared at Tabari with adoring eyes. He was thrilled to see someone yell like that at May. He sighed happily and turned to his Poke'mon who were concerned about him.

"Oh, my little minions...," he addressed his Poke'mon, "I think I'm in love...!"

His Poke'mon gasped and fainted from shock. Banette had a heart attack and died... until he realized that he was already a ghost Poke'mon and no signs of him even having a heart attack were found.
