Thanks for the people who support this story by; favouring, following and the best of all, reviewing. And the answer for the question of the previous chapter is : Manaphy.

PokStarTardis - Thanks for reviewing, though your answer is way off.

TheDisguisedFairy - You have answered the right answer. And thanks for the support of the story, and the reason why Officer Jenny didn't check was because she figured May could have hid somewhere. I have watch the movie and I figured, why not make a story about what would happen after the movie. And I've gotten this idea, since May and Manaphy had created a bond, then I might as well create one story about it.

Nightraze - I seem to know what you mean. Most of the stories on the category involves romance, but where is the stories which involves adventure? I mean, there are a few, but most of them are either discontinued or maybe just plain boring. No offence. And did you actually answered the question to it? Or am I a little clueless. (I'm a little dense sometimes.)

Guest - You have answered the right answer. And yeah, if you know a lot about pokemon games, movies and the series, then it will be a piece of cake. Thanks for the support.

Anyway, I will be updating one or two chapters daily, or maybe once in a while since I have other stories that needs to be done. And I also have my school stuff, which is kinda frustrating. Now, on with the story...


Chapter 2 : The Rise of a Queen

~Mays P.O.V.~

My head hurts after that incident. I can't believed that I actually drown in the sea thanks to those idiots who framed me. But still, I feel different, like I'm lying in some sort of bed that is very soft. And I also smell the scent of the sea, which I can't hear any waves from the sea. And what's more, I think I'm not dead yet caused I can still feel my hands and my legs.

As I opened my eyes, I can't believe what I''m seeing. Apart from still being alive, I was in a bedroom, like a king would have. And what's more, as I looked outside the window, I noticed that there were pokemon swimming around in the ocean. I think I'm paranoid caused I might be underwater. But the placed seem so familiar, its like I've been here before. But where? Right as I was about to get off of my bed, I noticed that my Skitty was actually laying beside me, curled up. I smiled as it looked so adorable. I noticed my bad on the side table before grabbing it. I took a look inside to make sure everything was still there. I felt relief as everything was still there before taking out the pokeballs.

As I got off the bed, I noticed a pokemon was standing by the door. The pokemon had two antennas and flippers. As I approached it, the pokemon then came out of the shadow before I realised what pokemon was it. "Manaphy?" I asked as the pokemon jumped into my arms.

"Mana, happy," it said to me. I felt really happy seeing him again.

"Oh, Manaphy, I missed you so much. But how did I get back to the temple?" I asked as I let go of Manaphy.

"Mana," it said before it used its antenna to show how'd it got me to the underwater temple. We were engulfed in a pink light before we headed back to the past.

I can't believed what am I seeing. The boat, the pokemons around us, the boat above on the sea and even the voices of the pokemon. And whats more, I can't believed that I'm seeing me, trying to free myself from under the beam. Then I heard the familiar voice before I blacked out. "Manaphy, did you really saved me?" I asked as me and the pokemon went closer to the sinking boat. The pokemon nodded as the Manaphy in the past tried to look for helped.

The Manaphy in the past called out a few pokemons to help me from under the beam. I saw that the Sharpedos were lifting up the support beam before Manaphy pulled me out. I can't believe that Manaphy managed to pull me out without any problem. After Manaphy pulled the past me out from the beam, it called out another pokemon. I saw that it was Wailmer approaching the boat. I also noticed that the Manaphy in the past was trying to save me by covering me in a pink light. I looked at the Manaphy beside me, wondering what was going.

The Manaphy beside me used it antennas to touch me on the head before I too was engulfed in the pink light. I then realised that it was some sort of an air bubble, which then I hugged Manaphy becaused it went to save me. Then I continued to watch the flashback. I was laying on the Wailmer's back while Manaphy swam beside me. We followed them through the sea when the past Manaphy and me disappeared from view. I realised that the temple was closed by, which then I figured out what happens next. We later went through the barrier that covered the whole temple. I saw that Manaphy later called out a half dozen of Corphish to carry me into the temple.

I knew where they were heading as I looked at the Manaphy beside me. I nodded my head, stating that its time to head back. Manaphy then use its antennas to send us back to the present.

As we reached back, I went to carry Manaphy in my arms. "Oh Manaphy, you really did saved me from drowning. I'm so happy to be with you," I said as tears were now flowing down my cheeks.

"Mana?" Manaphy asked, concerned on why am I crying. I just shook my head as Manaphy went to hug me, which I returned.


~Normal P.O.V.~

Back in Petalburg City, Ash, Pikachu, Dawn and Brock had finally reached the harbour. Ash noticed that there were police everywhere, as he wondered what was going. But he couldn't forget what had happened that night, when he failed to save May from the sinking boat. He wanted to save her, but he can't as the explosion pulled them apart. Dawn then took noticed of Officer Jenny commanding the other policemen. "Officer Jenny! What's going on?" Ash asked as they approached them. Brock then went to his lovey-dovey around Jenny, but Dawn later dragged him away. Jenny just sighed before she went to answer Ash's question.

"Well, you see. A girl stole three Master Ball from the Pokestore last night," Officer Jenny explained.

"Who?" Ash asked as his pikachu emerged from behind.

"..."

"Well," Ash stated, wondering why was Jenny hesitated on answering him.

"The girl is...May..." Jenny stated quietly. But not quiet enough as Ash could hear what she said.

"You're kidding, right?" Ash asked.

"No Ash, I'm serious. May was caught in the video camera of the store," Jenny stated before taking out a video cam from her pocket. She then showed it to Ash about the video.

Ash was shocked as the video does showed who really did stole the pokeballs. The green bandana, the red colour clothes, the bag and the hair style. No doubt that it was May, but Ash knew something was up as he took a closer looked. The height and the way she walked doesn't showed any relation to the May he knew. And even he took noticed of the eye colour. Ash knew that the video showing wasn't the real May. "Erm... Officer Jenny. I think that's not the real May," Ash stated.

"Ash, I know you want to save your friend from being banned, but I think the evidence show it..." before Jenny could finished his sentence, Ash looked away like he didn't listened.

"I don't think you need to ban her anymore," Ash stated.

"And why is that?" Jenny asked, with her eyebrow raised.

"Because last night, we found her on a ship," Ash stated, still looking away.

"Where?" Jenny asked as she was about to call a team to follow the boat that May was on.

"Can I ask you something first?" Ash asked.

"What kind of question?" Jenny stated, wondering why did Ash changed the subject.

"Do you have a submarine?" Ash asked, which Jenny caught the question unexpected.

"Huh?" Jenny stated.

"I asked, do you have any submarine that we can use?" Ash asked again.

"I don't think we do. Why'd you asked?" Jenny stated.

"Well, you see. It was night time when me and my friends wanted to visit May after the contest. And on our way there, one of the sailors spotted a ship that's sinking," Ash started before he closed his eyes, remembering what had happened last night.

"Go on," Jenny encourage him.

"Then, the ship had an explosion. I went to check on the ship to see anyone was there. As I arrived, the ship was almost fully sunk. I quickly went into the ship before realising that there was one person on board..." Ash then stopped again, clenching his fist.

"And?" Jenny pushed on.

"And when I tried to save her as she was stuck under a beam, another explosion erupted, which caused me to rise back to the surface. I couldn't save her as the ship she was on sunk to the deep ocean. I felt really upset about myself for not saving her, especially she's my friend," Ash stated as tears was now forming in his eyes.

"If you said that it was a 'she', then that could means... no, are you serious?" Jenny stated, not believing that she just heard.

"Yes, the person I couldn't save was May. I think she drown in the sea after running away," Ash stated as a shadow was now covering his eyes.

"I don't know what to say, let alone inform May's family as their daughter was now lost," Jenny stated. She later called off the search for the girl in the city before ordering them to rent a submarine to look for a sunken ship.

"C'mon Ash, we better head to the Gym to tell Norman what had happened," Jenny stated as they headed to the gym located in the middle of the city. Along the way, Ash caught sight of May's new bike locked up against a pole. He then went towards the bike before placing his hand on the handlebar.

"Hey, can we take this bike with us?" Ash asked.

"Who's bike does it belong to?" Jenny asked as she inspected the bike.

"It belongs to May," Ash explained as Jenny stared at it with her eyes widely opened.

"Wait a minute. If her bike's here, then that means..." Jenny stated before she took noticed of the food stall nearby. She quickly headed towards it, as the owner of the stall was there serving meals to his customers.

"What's wrong, Jenny?" Ash asked as he followed Jenny.

"Excuse me sir. I'm Officer Jenny and I would like to ask you a few questions," Jenny stated.

"Sure, what is it?" the owner asked.

"Do you happen to remember this girl from last night?" Jenny asked as she showed the owner a picture of May.

"Yeah. I saw her last night. She went to park her bike there before coming here to buy a snack. After she paid up, there was an explosion over there," the owner stated as he pointed towards the source of the explosion, where the pokestore was.

"And do you know anything else?" Jenny asked.

"Well, yeah. I saw two people with a pokemon running towards the power station. I also noticed that they had a bag similar to the girl I saw last night," the owner explained.

"Can you describe the two suspects and the pokemon," Jenny asked.

"I can't see their face, but their pokemon looks like a cat that can walk on two legs," the owner stated. "Oh, and they have an 'R' letter on their shirts."

"Team Rocket! I knew something was up," Ash said out loud suddenly.

"So, it was those guys again. When will they ever stop," Jenny stated before she continued to ask questions about last night incident.

"One last question, did you happened to see any pokeballs that the suspects carried?" Jenny asked.

"Well, I can't say I see anything else, but I do believe that I took a glimpes of something circular on one of the figure's hands. But with the lack of light, I can't really tell," the owner stated.

"Thanks for your cooperation," Jenny stated before she and Ash left the food stall. They then headed to the bike, wondering whether Jenny had made a mistake.

"Jenny, do you now believe what I was trying to tell you about? That wasn't the real May, that was one of Team Rocket trying to ruin May's life," Ash explained.

"And I think I know how we can clear this up," Jenny stated as she took noticed of another camera at one of the stalls. It was pointing at the bike and the stall, which was a great evidence. Jenny took out his pokedex before connecting it to the camera.

After a while, the screen showed a video of last night event. "Hey, that's May!" Ash stated. Jenny nodded before they continued to watch the whole video of last night event. In the video, May locked his bike up before buying herself a snack at the food stall that Jenny and Ash were at before. Before May could take a bite, an explosion had erupted behind a building. The video showed that May was heading towards the source of the explosion, which Jenny felt really bad about capturing the wrong person.

"So, what can we do now?" Jenny asked as she kept her pokedex. "Now that May was actually innocent, how am I going to explain to her father that she actually isn't here anymore," Jenny stated, which Ash felt really sad about what happened.

"We need to tell them, Officer Jenny, no matter what, we still have to," Ash stated as Jenny nodded. They then headed towards the gym to tell Norman about the bad news of their daughter.


Back in the temple, May was exploring the temple with Manaply. "I still can't believe that I'm back in the temple," May stated before her stomach began to growl. "And I still can't believe that I skip dinner last night."

"Mana," Manaphy stated as it showed May to a dinner hall.

"Wow..." May was amazed at the beauty of the hall. "Its beautiful." She then saw that Manaphy was showing her the table filled with all kinds of berries. "All of those berries looks so yummy," May stated before randomly taking a berry. She took a bite before realising what kind of berry was it. It was sweet firstly, but after a while, it had a really sour taste.

"Yummy!" May stated before taking another berry.

"Mana," Manaphy called out as it wants May to follow it. May quickly follow the pokemon through a hallway before realising that she was now in the sea crown's hall. She remembered the time went Ash saved them from the incident. May wondered why did Manaphy brought her here went the crown began to glow. May then was engulfed in a gold light, like went she and the others managed to save the temple before. But this time, she felt something different as the light grew even brigther, which engulfed the whole hall.

When the light had died down, May noticed that there was something on her head. She went to touch it before reaking it down. She was surprised that it was a crown, for a queen. May doesn't understood what it meant before something click. "Wait? I'm the queen of the sea now?" May asked.

"Mana," Manaphy stated as it jumped into the arms of May.

"Oh Manaphy, I'm so happy. Now that I have no where to go except to Ash and the others, I might stay here," May stated before placing Manaphy down. "Alright, time to celebrate," May said as she took out her pokeballs. Her pokemon later emerged from their pokeballs. "C'mon guys, lets have some fun," May said as they exited the hall, before it was locked up like it haven't been opened before.


On one of an island, a man in the shadows was hiding. He had a beard with a pirates hat and his right hand man was beside him. "There are two men in this world, one is that they might give up and the other would never give up on their goal. I know which one I am, as I want that sea crown even if it takes me a long time to find it," the figure said.

"Right you are," his right hand man stated.
