May glares at Drew.

Me (sweat drops): Actually, I was talking to you… Well ANYWAY, moving on, hope you all enjoy the chapter, and now off I run, bye Drew aaaaaah!

Brendan lived with uncle Toby. Uncle Toby had white hair and big bushy white eyebrows. Although lines of age etched his face, his eyes were filled with care and his mouth was always in a smile. He was the manager of the garage that Brendan ran. He had been looking after Brendan since his mum and dad had died. He still remembered that day when he had first saw him…

Flashback

An ambulance whirled past, wheels lifting up a huge sheet of water as the tires squealed on the road. Rain was pouring down as policemen started questioning people about the accident. A boy, not more than 12 or 13, was standing shivering in the rain. His eyes were dim and filled with sadness. As the car had swerved, his mum and dad had stretched in front of him to protect him. He would never forget seeing his parents die, would never forget seeing the light in his mums eyes fade as she tried to say, " I love you…"

Uncle Toby had appeared then, riding on a motorbike, coming to see if his sister and her family were ok. When he heard the news, his eyes had filled with tears, spilling over his cheeks and mixing with the heavy rain. He knew then that his sisters only will would have been for him to take care of her son. He had tried to push away the sadness, to be strong for his nephew, Brendan.

Although Brendan never really got over it- no one would-he still did a very good job of hiding it, and uncle and nephew lived together, each with sadness they hid, hid for each other. Sometimes a glimmer of sadness was seen in his eyes, it was quickly hidden, and of the past neither spoke of, unless they had to.

Apart from uncle Toby, Brendan also lived with his 2 best friends. Kay and Cassandra. Kay and Brendan had been best friends since they were in nursery, and had followed him when Brendan left his old home. Cassandra was Brendan's old girlfriend. This had ensured that whenever May came over, there was always going to be a squabble over some tiny matter, though both girls knew the reason was Brendan. Although Cassandra and Kay were both Brendan's best friends, they were actually quite harsh to each other. Always having arguments, screaming at each and fighting. Brendan found this quite amusing to watch really, and always laughed.

All three were in the best racing team in the Poke world. But being in the team wasn't all that easy. Brendan was the leader and had to make good impressions. Cassandra was looked down on because she was the only girl in the team, though Brendan always looked after her. Kay was always in the shadows of Brendan, though he didn't really mind, as the fan girls annoyed him, and he always laughed as Brendan was nearly torn apart by the fan girls and he got away with out anyone tagging along. The racers weren't allowed to race in unofficial races in case they lost they ruined their rep. But they always had fun, and were always smiling.

Although lately, uncle Toby was always looking depressed. Brendan caught him several times at night checking through documents. He didn't know what they were and he wasn't really bothered.

Brendan lay awake on his bed that night, thinking about May's kiss. It was almost apologetic. Somehow trying to push all her apologies into that kiss. A feel-better kiss, and yet Brendan floated about the house, oblivious to everyone about him, on his face a goofy grin. Kay laughed that his friend had a high fever and was hallucinating. Cassandra simply showed a sour face, her lips pursed together and her eyes flashing. Brendan was sure that even if it was a feel better kiss, it still showed hope, and he wouldn't give up, not that easily.

That was just about what Brendan's life right now, but what about Drews?

Drew was always chased by fan girls for his success in his competitions when he had time for them. He did his moves with amazing grace and nearly always got full marks, though he never moved out of the area he was in and so never battled with anyone else from outside the area. And though he didn't know this, May had improved a lot since he last her. She had trained as hard as she could and had been competing in every region on the planet, winning every ribbon cup she competed for, and winning every contest imaginable. She scored perfect marks in battles, even managed to beat Soledad who was amazed at her skill, made it to the cover of Coordinator Monthly over ten times and was a hit world wide and had amazed everyone except for one person, someone who was convinced of his own skill, and never read Coordinator Monthly, someone who was arrogant and couldn't care less about the newest "it girl", someone called Drew.

When Drew finally made time in his busy life for the meeting with May, he brought along his best pokemon: Roselia, Flygon, Absol, and Masquerain, he also took along his newest pokemon, all of his pokemon except the new one had been with him for the longest and he had taken especially good care of them. He hummed a little tune as he walked out of the door, the breeze blowing in his hair.

May at home decided to take her pokemon along with her. She took Espeon, Squirtle, Blaziken, beautifly and her newest pokemon. Delcatty was currently on holiday at Misty's gym. All of these pokemon were her favourite and most trained pokemon. Just in case Drew wants a battle, She thought as she walked out of the door, brushing out her hair.Funny how they think alike huh?

By the glass apple,

The glass apple sparkled in the sunlight. Sun light dappled through the perfectly cut glass, stretches of sparkling pink and green glowing on the surface of the fountain. Glittering and shimmering like tiny floating fairy lights when the sun shone through. The two met and smiled. After an awkward silence after the usual greetings, May suddenly said, as if reading Drews thoughts. " You know, it's been a long time since we have had a battle, what about one?" Competition flashed in her eyes but Drew merely flicked his hair and smirked, "I doubt that you have improved since last I saw you 9 years ago!" expecting an answer back, he looked up to see a smiling May chuckling, " You may just be in for a shock!" Drew was curious at her answer though he concealed it well by smirking an answer: " We'll see about that!"

The two coordinators stood in their places, they had asked someone to judge for them, this person happened to be Sissian, Vivian's sister. She was filming an episode of "Coordinators on the street" where they went out and found random battling coordinators, she was extremely excited to be judging this. A crowd had gathered to see the two famous coordinators battle, and a lot of them asked for May's autograph. Drew was slightly surprised at this, as May had always been behind him… Or so he thought. Cameramen who had been with Sissian stood filming. It was a battle, which went on until one battler didn't have any pokemon left. A pokemon could only be used in one battle.

" Go Espeon!" May gracefully twirled and let out the cat like pokemon. The crowd gasped in wonder, as Espeon proudly stood with her fur sparking a light pink. The jewel on her head flashed a brilliant sapphire blue, in fact, the exact same shade as Mays eyes in fact. Drew gasped; normal pokemon can turn into shinies? Ah well, I still have my master card, but not right now…

" Go Roselia!" He flicked his hair and let out the beautiful rose pokemon. It smiled and shook its roses and the audience murmered as a calming scent wafted over them.

May and Drew smiled, it was just like the old days, except…

" Go Espeon, use phybeam and shadow ball!" The phybeam enveloped the shadow ball but the shadow ball tore through at the last minute. The air was filled with black and purple sparkles as the double attack hit roselia and Drew gaped, Espeon still knew shadow ball? And since when did May learn to use beauty with power at the same time with a double attack? Since when had she learned to attack so quickly? Questions swirled in a whirlwind in his head. He shook his head. There was no time for that now, he had to think fast.

" Use petal dance and magical leaf!" Drew smiled, he was sure it would make a mark, also, that combination should have won an award as it was beautiful, the petals and leaves forming into tiny roses in the air, something he had taught his Roselia recently.

He looked at May, only to see her grin casually and say: " Use physic and swift!" If he wanted original combinations, then he was going to get a very special combination!

Espeon jumped into the air and shot out a line of glowing stars, and then using physic, she made the stars glow a lovely purple around the edges before making them twirl and turn into each other, trailing tiny little multicoloured stars, amazing the audience which had grown even more.

The tiny stars flew into the audience where they were caught and held closely, or just gazed at upon by many.

The stars hit away the miniature rose flying through the air and carried on going, until Roselia was hit with a direct attack. And yet it still got up, though it was clear with much effort. Drew looked at his poor Roselia and panicked, something he shouldn't have done, "SYNTHESIS ROSELIA!"

Roselia looked weakly up into the sky, reached up with its roses, but only to be cut off as May spoke a fifth move: "Go Espeon, use quick attack." May totally trusted in her espeon and her voice remained calm. Espeon dashed out and hit Roselia full on, Roselia hit the floor with a thud and everyone started cheering. Drew stood up and ran to his Roselia, he rocked her gently and put her back into her poke ball, saying, " you did your best…" He looked at May and said: "How does your espeon know 5 moves?" his voice was hinted with confusion. May looked up from stroking her pokemon. " Oh that? I don't really know! I just did the usual stuff, you know, train them, care for them, and they got stronger and stronger and I found that that no matter how many new moves they learnt, they could still remember the old ones!" Drew was about to respond when Sissian announced that the second match was about to begin if both battlers still had pokemon, The two coordinators nodded, and hurried to their places.

" Go Flygon!" Drew sent out his fabulous Flygon. It beat its wings and everyone was awed. That is apart from May, she had seen Flygon many times before and even waved to it. " Go Blaziken!" Drew looked in amazement at the blaziken he had once known as a combusken. It evolved? May must have been training her pokemon hard!

Drew grimaced, blazikens were hard to beat. But his Flygon could fly which was an advantage.

" Flygon use sandstorm and crunch!" Drew smiled uncertainly, May had really improved. But as he watched the sandstorm spin around the helpless chicken and flygon going in to attack he started to relax. He was Drew after all, he could beat her any day!

And yet May was looking really quite relaxed. " Blaziken, Suly and fire slash!" Drew was very confused. Suly? Fire slash? Maybe May has gone bonkers… And that's when he saw through the sand flying everywhere, Blaziken standing tall with its arms starting to glow white. It used sky uppercut and again and again till it was flying through the air to everyone's amazement. It stopped before Flygon and fire started flaring up along its arms. It used it twice and KO' ed Flygon. Drew was still gaping as he returned Flygon.

Everyone was cheering and even the fan girls were starting to lean towards May.

Drew was getting desperate now, and he glanced at May. She was standing tall and straight, she looked proud and yet made everyone still want to be on her side because she wasn't arrogant. She knew that someone out in that world could still beat her. Drew sighed and was about to shout something to May when Sissian told them that the third battle was to be a double battle if they still had pokemon. Drew grimly nodded and headed to his place. The crowd was now swelling and people were pointing and murmuring.

" Absol, Masquerain, come on out!"

" Beautifly, Squirtle, take the stage!"

Everyone gasped as Absol appeared, its snowy white coat glittering in the sun. Masquerain fluttered its wings and let out a joyful trill as Beautifly was released. Beautifly was happy to see Masquerain but remembered just in time it was a battle, and called out to him to watch out, as it was a battle. Squritle chuckled and spinned around cutely. The two trainers stared into space, each thinking of memories of times of old.

Flashback (Mays)

The stars were shining brightly and Maquerain and Beautifly flew behind the hedge, they trilled and giggled dancing about in the warm summer night. May watched them, wandering where Masquerain had come from, only to have Drew appear, looking perfect as usual, his eyes glowing brightly in the moonlight, but he had to ruin the moment by being arrogant…

Flashback (Drews)

The stars had just come out, twinkling slightly and Masquerain had just run away from training. He had been trying to find Masquerain when he heard him trilling and giggling, a behaviour only found when he met Beautifly, he turned the corner, only to see May sitting on the grass, her hair was shining in the moonlight and her eyes were illuminated, but he had to ruin the moment by being arrogant…

The two coordinators sighed, and turned their focus back to the battle.

" Beautifly, use silver wind and Squirtle use ice beam!" The ice beam and the silver wind mixed into a giant ice tornado, spinning and glittering as the sunlight reflected off the ice. May stared challengingly at Drew only to see him chuckle this time. " Masquerain use bubble and Absol, use razor wind!" The bubbles were sucked into the tornado and yet bubbles were starting to form outside the tornado, covering it, slowing it down, until it ground to a halt. Absol released a Razor wind which sliced it in half, May watched and started to think, she suddenly called out: "Squirtle, use ice beam! And then use double edge!" The great tornado which was chopped in half froze and the floor was covered in ice. May had trained her Squirtle so it wouldn't get hurt while doing double edge and it started to build power as it ran on the ice, going faster and faster. But she gasped in shock as Drew shouted, " Absol, use Darkle slam! (A/N: Yeah, lol, dark tackle body slam lol!) The two attacks speeded up on the ice, both fearing yet neither stopping. Their eyes showed fear and they both hit at the same time, creating a huge dust mushroom cloud. Everyone gasped in shock. As the dust cleared, it revealed Absol and Squirtle fainted lying on the ground.

This was the first time in a long long time that May's pokemon had fainted in a battle. The fan boys of May started growling at Drew, and if glares could kill, he would have been dead over a 100 times in a millisecond. May only smiled sadly, the one person who had to beat her had to be Drew. Maybe some things never change, just like his feelings towards me… Drew's eyes met with Mays as he returned his Absol, Drew was shocked to find her beautiful sapphire eyes filled with tears, although she quickly blinked them away, he still saw them. He tried to focus on the battle that ensued between his Masquerin and Beautifly but he couldn't, he lost and he prepared to send out his last pokemon against Mays last pokemon. Probably Delcatty, he thought, and maybe that was why both trainers were surprised when they both sent out a totally new pokemon which both had just got.

" Go Glaceon!" May twirled, and threw a pokeball.

" Go Leafeon!" Drew threw the poke ball with effortless grace.

Both stared in surprise at each other, even the audience had been shocked into silence, not a murmur to be heard. The two pokemon stared at each other, pink spots had appeared on their cheeks, and Leafeon had flicked his leaf while Glaceon shyly bowed her head.

Flashback (Drews)

He had been walking in the woods when he had seen an injured Eevee, he had decided to care for it until it became better. When it was fully healed, it had refused to leave, and so Drew had got a new pokemon. He took it training in the woods everyday, and one day, while training near a strange mossy rock, Eevee had evolved into a Leafeon. Its head always held high, eyes shining, coat glinting in the sunshine, he had quickly become part of the team, popularity outshining even Roselia. Drew had never taken it to a battle before.

Flashback (Mays)

May had received an egg from a friend. When an eevee hatched from it, she remembered the day when her first eevee had hatched, in fact she even got Espeon to look after it. She took Eevee training everyday in the mountains full of snow, so that it wouldn't be weak to ice attacks. On one of these training days, they were training beside an unusual looking icy rock, when Eevee had suddenly evolved into a Glaceon. It's shy and timid nature, with it's gracefulness and beauty, brought calmness to everyone around it and was soon a part in Mays team, though May had never taken it to a battle before.

The two trainers recovered from their shock and they both said to their pokemon, " Focus!" Glaceon and Leafeon immediately got into a battling stance and a sharpness came into their eyes. As they started battling, they found that the pokemons speed and attacks were equally matched. As each move was deflected by an equally strong attack, Razor leaf hitting icy wind, ice shard meeting quick attack, every attack nimble attack, each returning unharmed but getting more and more tired, soon, only one attack was left that they could use, and May and Drew both knew it.

" Last Resort!" Two voices hesitating and unsure.

The pokemon nodded, it was time to make the final stand. Multicoloured beams of energy started forming around them, growing bigger and bigger until they finally let it go. The beam separated, twirling and spinning, winding around until they met in the middle of the battlefield, neither gave way, on Leafeons face immense concentration showed and Glaceons normally calm face showed too that concentration. Suddenly there was a huge explosion and everyone waited anxiously for the smoke to clear.

As the last wisps of smoke vanished, everyone was left in shock. Both pokemon were standing, they were standing alright- huddled together with eyes wide with fear and shock. Neither thought that their attacks were so powerful and in the instant of the explosion, they had found each other. May was so glad to see her pokemon ok that she ran into the battlefield to hug it. Drew just looked surprised and was standing rooted to the spot. Why do all my pokemon manage to fall in love with Mays? It's like they are mocking how I will never ever manage to get May to like me… The audience had begun to murmur now, and someone began clapping, soon everyone was clapping and the noise was thunderous. The show of the pokemons love had touched the audience and they loved it. May blushed as she stole a glance to Drew. Drew looked at the exact same time, and their eyes met, locked in a gaze of unknown emotions. Maybe it was love? Who knows, only they knew. May turned her head down as she sighed, Drew on the other side of the battlefield bowed his head, hair covering his eyes. Each thinking the same things, they returned their pokemon and signalled to end the match.

May was caught amongst a huge crowd as she signed countless autographs, took endless photos and just smiled and was there.

Drew walked away slowly, his feet taking him to the park. He sat down heavily on a swing, sighing as he did so.

May. Before she came back into my life, I was perfectly happy. Now I am… I am not unhappy, but this feeling, it makes my heart burn.

Hello! I am your little inner child kind of person thingy. I am den den den, Marvo.

Great, just to add to it, I am going cuckoo.

Wha…?

Mad, bonkers, finally cracked, mentally unstable, insane, nuts do you get the point??? I don't even see the point of this conversation…

I am not your imagination Drew!!!!! Honestly, comparing me to that vile creature downstairs… You should be ashamed of your self!

Wha…?

I must dash now Drewsy, tata!

Wait!

Drew's thoughts were interrupted as the swing next to him creaked as it as some called… May sat on it? Drews head snapped up as his gaze was caught with Mays. Sapphire eyes with emerald eyes. Sparks flying in between and yet again it was broken, this time from Drew.

" So why are you here?" He grunted. His voice low and without the usual sarkiness.

May smiled simply. "Just thought I would see how you were". Drew's heart melted into mush when he saw that smile and he managed to somehow answer. " Oh…" It was an answer, if not a very weak one. May started to swing gently. As Drew watched her swing, hair flowing out behind her, still with that simple smile on her face, he thought of how she reminded him of an angel, his angel, an angel whom he would never be able to be with.

" What do you think about usually Drew?" Mays questions broke through his thoughts and he answered, a little uncertainly, "Lots of things I guess, like training, contests, my pokemon, the business…" Mays had turned her head towards him, her eyes looked as if they were glowing softly, on her lips a simple smile, her brown hair caught in the wind. Drew decided. "… And I guess, I think of you…" The last bit was spoken so softly that the wind carried away his words, hiding them with the whistles and noises of the wind.

May didn't hear them, but she said to him quietly, " Hey Drew, where did you get the roses from, all those years ago?" A simple question, and yet, a question that roused memories hidden deep inside them, a simple question, which stirred up all those emotions buried deep inside their hearts, a simple question, which Drew answered equally simply, " Roselia gives them. But I can also make them…" He started rocking in his swing. May looked at him, with the sun coming down behind him, his eyes were brilliant, his hair was soft and on his lips, the usual smirk had gone, leaving behind just a pure smile.

They stayed silent for a while, each thinking different thoughts, not an uncomfortable silence, just a silence, that was broken as May suddenly piped up" Could you make me one? I mean, out of anything?" A childish curiosity was glinting in her eyes. With it came the childish grin and Drew found himself smiling, not smirking but smiling, and heard himself answering, " Sure why not? Do you have a cloth or something in your bag?" May grinned whilst pulling out a bandana, " Decided to bring it just in case I got tired of this hair style!" She handed it to Drew, eyes open expectedly. Drew shrugged casually, "Watch and learn May, watch and learn!" His fingers were a blur as he folded and twisted and pulled until in his hands a perfect red rose lay, petals opened sweetly, the middle closely packed together, looking exactly like a real rose, maybe even better. May squealed with delight, she took it carefully from him, as if any second the rose might vanish and disappear.

Drew checked his watch, deciding that it was time to leave, he smiled at May, " Hey May, I've got to go now, so I'll see you?" Mays eyes showed disappointment when Drew suddenly spoke again, his voice soft and unsure, " Um, May? You want to, uh, you know, uh, go out sometime? Like this Saturday? At the Golden Rose restaurant? At 8 o'clock?" As he blurted out the last few lines, he heard May gasp in surprise? Delight? Shock? " Oh sure I will come!" May was so happy that she hugged him, before suddenly stepping back, her face like a tomato. " See you then?" " Sure." Drew tried hard to hide his blush which luckily wasn't spotted by May. He then walked away, Secretly grinning to himself. May found that later as she was walking home, she was clutching the mysterious coin. Weird she thought but took no furthur notice.

Saturday, At Brendan's shop…

Smoke was curling into the beginning of the night, and something smelt burnt…
