Yet again, this is another re-upload.

I haven't got much to say here, except, I hope you like it!

May sat up and stretched her arms, yawning. She hadn't slept much the night before, thinking about Drew and Harley. It was strange, because she was having nightmares... Things she couldn't explain. In her mind, it looked like the shadow of a boy, but then, he just disappeared, and she's falling... Falling forever...

May shuddered from thinking about it and sat up from her make-do bed. It was a good job she got on a ferry with rooms, because the journey across the sea was extremely long. With one more stretch and yawn,she went into the bathroom to get ready. Mom had made me a new outfit for Sinnoh, but something told me to wear my old Hoenn outfit, so I did. I looked at myself in the mirror, it only fit because my Mom had made one that looked just the same, as I had expected she had done.. Well, May didn't care, because she actually though it looked pretty good. She tied her red bandanna around her silky brunette hair and stepped carefully out of the room and shut the door behind her. Stepping to the deck, she could see only two people, One with purple hair, or was it blue...? There was also a girl, her pink/red hair swung around her back, making May wonder how she kept it up like that. She guessed they were about Eighteen. They looked fishy, as they wore white suits, with a big R on the front. The girl had a very short skirt on, it didn't look very good on her.

"Jessie, where is Meowth?" The lavender haired boy asked. So now May knew the girl was called Jessie. She was being nosy, listening in.

"He's being lazy as usual, you go try to wake him. Last time I did he scratched my face." She rubbed her face, "My beautiful face!" and she covered her face with her right arm, as if crying. May giggled and looked over the rails. It was a hot day, the sun beat down on her face, causing me to squint. In the distance, something was appearing... Land! "Sinnoh!" She screamed a little too loudly and leaned over, getting a closer look. She could see the port, and a huge building, most likely the Pokémon Centre. Looking to her left, she could see the two others were just as excited as me.

"Time to catch us a Pikachu!" Jessie shouted and punched the air. But surely if they wanted a Pikachu, Kanto would be the best place? May shook her head, they seemed mad to her.

The ship stopped by the port, and she ran off and looked around. Sinnoh's buildings were the same as everywhere else, but there was something magical about this place. May ran in the direction of the Pokémon centre, but stopped herself. What was the point? She wanted to take part in her first contest as soon as possible!

...

He woke up and rubbed his eyes, it seems Ash had fallen asleep in a chair...

What had happened again?

Then it all came flooding back to him. He and Brock had brought Dawn back to the Pokémon Centre after she fainted. Everything she had said kept repeating in his head. He looked to my right. Dawn was lying in the hospital bed, sleeping peacefully. She had one hand placed on her chest, which was raising up and down slowly. Ash took hold her hand. "Please be okay Dawn." Heshut my eyes and held her one hand his two. He wasn't scared about her biting his hand any more, he just wanted her to be okay.

He heard giggling from behind him, so he looked over to the door. Brock was standing by it, wiggling his eyebrows and whistling. "Bastard, this isn't the time!" I growled, and his face fell.

"Where am I?" They both jumped at the sound of Dawn's voice. Partly because Ash was happy she was okay, and also because he was still holding her hand. She was looking at where her hand and his had been. She looked slowly up at Ash, a look of worry plastered on her face.

"Dawn, are you okay?" He asked cautiously.

"I feel fine... What happened?" Dawn sat up and looked around, noticing Brock and Pikachu at the other side of the room, she smiled. Ash grabbed this chance. Seeing her sitting up, he wrapped his arms around her, embracing her in a warm hug. He couldn't see, but he could tell Brock was smiling, and Dawn was blushing.

...

"How many times will I pass this building?" May screamed as the big skyscraper appeared once more. It was just a poketch company building, but she hated seeing it now. It seemed she had been walking in a circle for more than an hour, and now she was sick. She collapsed to my knees and sighed. Things couldn't get much worse, she was alone and if she got into trouble, nobody would be there to help her.

"Can I help you?" She jumped up and twirled around. A boy, around the same age as May loomed over her. He looked quite intimidating. He had dark purple hair and he was giving her a dirty look. May stood up and stepped back a bit, not sure whether she could trust this boy or not.

"I'm not going to hurt you or anything." The boy held out his hand for her. "Paul's the name." He smiled, almost looking evil. He wasn't made for smiling. Still, she took his hand and shook it.

"My name is May. Nice to meet you."

"You're lost, aren't you?" She hated to admit it, but he had hit the nail on the head. She just nodded, ashamed, in reply. "Hey, it's okay, this city is a big place, let me show you where the gym is."

"Oh, I'm not here for a gym battle, I want to participate in a contest here." May corrected him.

"Sorry May, but the contest was yesterday, the next one is in Pastoria Town, but I'm going there anyway, if you want to come..." She thought about this for a while, after all, she had just met the guy. He seemed nice enough, but what if he wasn't as nice as he seemed?

"How about we go get some ice cream first, and get to know each other better?"

"Sounds good to me." Paul shrugged, and they walked off side by side to the ice cream parlour.

"What was that for?" Dawn asked. Ash scratched the back of his head with his hand.

"I'm just glad you're okay, that's all." He answered quite nervously. Brock was grinning, and Ash wished he would get out.

"Can I leave now? I'm fine." Dawn stood up, and I gave her an uncertain look. "I'm fine, no need to worry!" She winked.

"I'm not sure you're ready, missy." They all jumped at the new voice. It was Nurse Joy.

"What do you mean not ready?" Dawn posed "It was just me having a bad moment."

"It wasn't just a bad moment, we think... We think it may have been a Pokémon using you to communicate with your friends. Ash told me what you said, it seems to me, it might have been Dialga."

"WHAT?" Pikachu's trainer shouted, making the mouse pokemon jump off his shoulder. It couldn't of been Dialga! Why would Dialga want to communicate with Ash? Then, he noticed it. Dawn's face had gone horribly pale again, her eyes were red, and she was standing deadly stiff. "No no no..." He pleaded and grabbed her arms and shook her. "Dawn? Fight it off!" He screamed at her, but she pushed him back, with such force. No one had ever seen her this strong. With a flick of her hand, the window was smashed into pieces.

"Dawn, you have to fight it off, we know you're strong enough!" Brock tried the same approach, but Dawn jumped out of the window and ran away.

"Celestic Town is the next destination." Dawn shouted and laughed as she ran. Ash's head hurt bad, this was all confusing him, and why did she want to go to Celestic Town so much? Brock was already running after Dawn, and Ash set off himself, soon catching up. He hated to admit it, but he was scared. What if Dawn got worse? It was bad enough losing Misty..."

"She's getting too weak now..." It was Dawn's voice this time. She tried to run again, but collapsed once more, this time on the floor.

"Dawn!" Ash and Brock shouted in unison as hey ran over to her.

...

"Dawn!" They heard the screaming nearby and May looked over, but Paul didn't look at all.

"Who was that Paul? Don't you think we should go help?" She asked, tugging at his arm a little.

"It's just a bunch of pathetic losers, they do this EVERY day." He sighed.

"They get in trouble every day?" Hmm. They kept walking, and soon were sitting in the parlour with their ice creams. Usually she would eat really messily, and eat a lot for a girl her age, but today she tried to be more lady-like. She didn't want Paul to think she had no manners. Nobody said anything for a while, until she spoke up.

"So, you go to gyms and battle, right?"

"Yeah. Most of them have been easy so far, the next one should be a piece of cake." Wow. Confident Guy... "And you do contests?" He added.

"Yes, I've competed in the Johto, Kanto and Hoenn Grand Festival. Once, I came second." May boasted happily.

"Nice, shame you lost though." Paul said between licks.

"So... You knew those guys out there, the ones that were screaming " She changed the subject, in fear of accidentally telling him something she didn't mean to.

"Yes. But to be honest, I wish I didn't. Bunch of losers. Especially the boy. Pathetic." Paul scowled.

"What did they ever do to you?" She asked, a bit annoyed at his attitude.

"They're just annoying and Pathetic, plus, who cares if Dawn get's hurt. At least maybe the boy will shut up..."

"Wha...?"

"It's quite obvious he likes her, so if she gets hurt, he might shut up." And that was it. May stood up and left, her nose in the air. "May wait, where are you going?" Paul shouted back, but she didn't answer. She certainly didn't want to be his friend, if he was secretly going to think that about her. Hmph. She decided she wanted to meet Dawn, so she went back to the area where we had heard the screaming, but it was protected with police banners.

The floor was covered, in a purple goo-like substance, a girls body lay beside it, but not inside it. She had dark blue hair, with a few light higlights. May couldn't see the colour of her eyes, because she had them shut. She wore a small black and pink dress, with a vest underneath. Her face was perfect, no spots, no dark circles under her eyes, just a clear face. One building, a rather large skyscraper, had a huge TV, broadcasting the news.

"Police are struck dumb after the disappearance of a fifteen year old boy, yet to be named. It is said that the boy was attacked by his girlfriend, and strange liquid appeared all over the ground, absorbing in bins, lamp-posts, and him." The TV reporter announced. May heard several people gasp, some stepped back. Is that really what happened there? She looked at the girl again, an older boy was now leaning over her. He looked foreign, and his hair was spiked up, and brown.

Suddenly, the girl shot up. May moved back too this time, she didn't want be attacked too...

"Ash?" She looked up and saw the older boy, he smiled weakly at her, but she pushed him away. Nurse Joy tried to step it, but Officer Jenny pulled her back. "ASH? Where is he Brock? Where?" She panicked. Her eyes were wide, and now May could see they were aqua, like her hair.

"Dawn. Calm down." So she was Dawn? She took a few deep breaths and asked once again where he was. "When you were... not yourself, you attacked him, and he disappeared. Into the floor..." Brock pointed to to the purple sticky liquid on the floor. Dawns face was a picture. Shock and disbelief must have taken over, as she fell to the floor crying. Muttering that it was all her fault. May began walking to her. She stepped over the banner, but nobody said anything.

"Dawn?" I held out my hand to help her up. She looked up, her eyes red and puffy. Her face turned from shock to anger.

"May." She scowled.

How did she know her name?
