Drew lost track of how long they had been walking, but he believes it was well over 6 hours. He looked at May. She walked slowly behind him, with a sleeping Pikachu on her shoulder.
"Lets take a break," He said.
"Finally," May sighed, sitting down.
Drew sat next to her, yawning. He was sick of walking, sick of not getting anywhere, and so sick of his companion complaining.
Pikachu sat in between them saying "Pika." (Translation: Keep this G rated please)
They glared at him.
"Pikachu!" May shouted.
"Pika? Pika!" (Translation: What? I just don't want to have a furless brother/sister)
May punched the top of his head. "Shut. Up. Please." She said.
"Sick minded Pikachu!" Drew said, glaring at the rat.
"Pikachu, Pika, Pika!" (Translation: Prove me wrong. You're a boy. A BOY!!!)
"So are you," Drew argued.
"Pika!" (Translation: I'm a Pokemon. There's a difference.)
"Not much of a difference," Drew said.
"Pika, Pika." (Translation: I don't trust you.)
Drew snatched the flashlight Pikachu was holding. "Where were you on the night of June 1st 2004?" Drew asked him.
"Pika." (Translation: In Kanto. What's it to you?)
"What were you doing?" He looked at the mouse.
"Pikachu." (Translation: Eating grass. I didn't commit a crime)
"Drew, why are you interrogating my Pikachu?" May asked.
"Because it's fun," He replied.
"Pika." (Translation: I should eat your hair, grass head.)
Drew glared at him again. Pikachu gave Drew a 'I'm innocent' look. Drew sighed.
"I'm tired." May said, resting her head on Drew's shoulder.
"Me too," He yawned.
He looked at the yellow mouse. "What?" He asked.
"Pika," Pikachu said, pointing a finger at him.
"Are you accusing me of something?"
Pikachu shook his head, and laughed. May was completely asleep. Pikachu was thinking, and Drew was leaning against a rock. 'Why am I so furry? Why are my thoughts yellow? Why am I yellow? Too many question!' Pikachu thought, looking at his trainer. 'Where am I suppose to sleep? On grass heads head!' Pikachu jumped on Drew's head and made himself comfortable.
"Do you mind?" Drew asked, annoyed.
"Pika!" (Translation: Yes I do. Good night.)
"Whatever," Drew replied, leaning his head on May's head.
(Somewhere in the darkness)
"They'll never stop the destruction. The fear," A voice said.
"If they make it that far," A second voice said.
"Have faith in people for once," the first voice shouted.
"No. I want a cookie," The second voice said.
"Dog cookie?" The first voice asked.
"Chocolate cookie!" The second voice shouted.
"We're not suppose to eat chocolate!" The first voice growled.
"Come on lets find our brother," The second voice said.
"Who knew he could cause all this," The first voice said, impressed.
(Back to May and Drew. Morning!)
"What happened to the umbrella?" Drew asked, yawning.
"Pika," The mouse bounced. (Translation: It fell)
"That explains why I'm all wet," May said, rubbing her eyes.
"Hi, May, Drew! What are you guys doing here?" A strange girl voice shouted.
"Huh? Harley? I thought you were a girl…," May said, scratching her head.
"That's ok, huh. How have you been?" The 'guy' asked.
"Fine. Just fine," May said, steeping backwards because Harley's face was really close to hers.
"Personal space," Drew said, pulling Harley away from May.
"I can breath again," May announced.
"Hi, Drew. Have you told her yet?" Harley asked.
"That you're a crazy idiot? Yes I have," Drew said, smirking.
"Don't touch me, jerk," Harley shouted, "You're ruining my sleeve."
"Why should I care?" Drew asked.
"Do something useful and go away!" Harley said.
"Say it don't spay it," Drew said walking away.
Harley walked up to May and grabbed her hands.
"So, Hun? How long have you been traveling alone with a boy? Do your parents know?" Harley asked.
"I've been traveling with him since two days ago. I'm not sure if my parents know or care," May said, trying to move away.
"Drew shouldn't have left, Hun," Harley said, with a creepy smile.
"W-why?" May asked, shaking.
"You'll see," Harley smiled.
(With Drew)
"Harley annoys me to no end," Drew said, walking angrily towards the umbrella.
"Pika, Pika!" (Translation: Was it safe to leave May alone back there?)
"She'll be fine. Look for food while I get the umbrella," Drew commanded.
"Pika," Pikachu saluted him. (Translation: Yes Ma'am.)
"Just go!" Drew yelled.
Pikachu ran towards an apple tree, while Drew walked over to the umbrella. Before he could pick it up, he heard a voice.
"You made a mistake, Drew," The voice said, laughing.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Drew asked, forgetting the umbrella.
"We know more then you think," a second voice said.
"What kind of mistake?" Drew asked.
"Should we tell him?" The second voice asked.
"It won't affect him if we don't. Just his little friend," the first voice said.
"This has something to do with May, doesn't it?" Drew asked.
"Look, he's not as dumb as we thought," The first voice said, while the other laughed.
"Will you just tell me what's going on?!" Drew shouted, annoyed.
"No," The second voice said.
"That purple haired guy is bad new," The first voice said.
"Exactly. But you knew that," The second voice said, wisely.
"Harley? What could he do?" Drew asked.
"Anything he wants," The first voice said.
"Think about it. Anything," The second voice added.
Drew thought for a moment. 'Anything?' His eyes widened and he sprinted back towards May, forgetting the umbrella.
Pikachu walked back towards Drew with a few apples.
"Come on Pikachu," Drew shouted.
Pikachu was confused. 'Why does he sound so urgent? Where is the umbrella?' Pikachu ran as fast as he could on two legs to Drew.
When Drew got back to where he left May, she wasn't there.
"This is your girl, right?" A black haired girl said, walking out from behind a tree. May followed close behind her.
"May," Drew said, running over to her.
"I'm guessing that's a yes," The girl said.
"Uh," was all Drew said.
"Drew, this is Anny." May said, introducing the black haired girl.
Anny wore a gray long sleeve sweater with a hood, blue jeans, and a pink bracelet. She had ice blue eyes, and long black hair. She was about a year older then May.
"Hi," She said, "I'm 15. You?" She asked Drew.
"I'm 15 too." Drew replied, "May's 14."
"I can speak for myself," May said angrily.
"Whatever," Drew replied.
"Why is everyone older then me?" May asked.
"It's the way things work." Drew said. "What happened here?"
The road was torn with what looked like huge spikes. Grass was ripped out of the ground, rocks were sliced in half, while trees were knocked over.
"That Harley guy did this," Anny replied.
"Anny saved me," May said.
'I'll never leave May's side again,' Drew thought, angry that he left in the first place.
"May tells me you're heading to Crystal forest," Anny said. "Can I come? I want to know why it's so quiet there."
"It's fine by me," May said. "Drew?"
"Whatever," He said.
"Is he always like that?" Anny asked May.
"Pretty much," She replied.
"Can I come too," Harley shouted. "Please?"
"Fine, but Stay away from May," Drew said.
"But we're best friends," Harley cried.
"I don't care," Drew said.
Pikachu gave everyone an apple. May ate hers really fast. Gaining looks from everyone but Harley.
"Does she always eat like that?" Anny asked.
"Yeah. I'm surprised she hasn't choked yet," Drew replied.
A bus appeared in the distance. It stopped right next to them. The doors swung open, revealing a bus driver and an empty bus.
"Would you like a ride?" The bus driver asked.
"That would be lovely, Hun," Harley said, walking into the bus. The bus driver seemed a bit disturbed by Harley, but he let him in anyways.
"That would be great," Anny said.
"Yeah, thinks," May said. The two girls sat in the back of the bus.
"What about you, young man?" The bus driver asked Drew.
'An empty bus seems suspicious, but I won't leave May…' Drew thought, shaking his head.
"Sure," He replied, walking in and sitting in the seat in front of May and Anny.
When the bus started moving, Drew was instantly bored. He looked out the window not able to see anything because of the rain. Harley was reading some kind of girly magazine. The girls were talking, while Pikachu was on the floor playing with a blue ball.
The bus driver took a sharp turn, causing chaos in the bus. Drew hit the window with a 'bang'. Harley fell onto the floor and rolled under the seat. His magazine was thrown into the front of the bus. Pikachu's ball hit Drew in the head, causing him to yelp in pain. Pikachu wasn't so lucky. He got thrown into the window, tossed into a poll, then hit the roof of the bus. He fell to the ground with a loud 'thud'. Anny and May's heads smacked into each other. Then they were thrown in opposite directions. Anny rolled over and fell next to Harley, while May landed on top of Drew.
"Sorry about that, kids," The bus driver smiled a creepy smile.
Pikachu squealed in pain, while struggling to get. He ended up tripping over his tail and hitting his head. Decided it was less painful to stay on the floor, Pikachu sighed and lie still.
Harley stood up while his bones popped. He walked to the front of the bus to pick up his magazine. He gave the bus driver an 'are you crazy' look, then returned to his seat with his magazine.
Anny sat herself up, looking around dazed. The only thing she remembered was almost smashing into Harley's big head. She stood up and immediately wished she hadn't. She decided to go back to her original seat in the back of the bus. Not really caring, she put her feet on the top of Harley's seat and began to hum a tune.
May tried to pull herself off of Drew. When she tried, she ended up falling on him again. She saw his face get pale. She decided to roll off of him. She accidentally rolled off the seat in the process . She landed on the cold, hard floor. Groaning, she struggled to get up, then decided to sit with Drew.
Drew was in unimaginable pain. May had caused his back to crack, and his arm to move out of place. His leg was twisted in a weird and painful way under the seat. His head was stuck to the cloth on the seat. When he pulled away from it all color drained from his face. He bit his lip to keep himself from crying out in pain.
May saw this and instantly felt guilty. She tried to comfort him by hugging him. He felt a lot better, but he'd never say that. When May let go of him, he tried to move his arm back into place.
May glared at the bus driver. He stopped the bus, causing everyone to hit the seat in front of them.
"You may not go to that forest," The bus driver said in a cold voice.
"Why not?" May asked innocently.
"So no one will no the truth. Now get going," He said, pulling out a gun.
"Where do we go?" Anny said, slightly shocked.
'I knew there was something strange about this bus and its driver,' Drew thought standing up. He pushed May behind him, and walked to the where Anny and Harley were.
"Get out of the bus in a single file line, or be shot," the bus driver said, coldly.
Harley walked out of the bus like nothing was happening. Anny was shaking a bit. Drew now pushed May in front of him so she won't be in the bus with its driver. She carried Pikachu out of the bus. Drew was the last to exit, but before he could leave the bus, its driver stopped him.
"You know, don't you?" The bus driver asked him.
"Yes, I guess I do," Drew said.
"Really?" The man asked, a bit scared. He pressed the gun against Drew's head. "You're lying."
"No. You killed Suicune," Drew said, anger burning in his emerald eyes.
