-1Sorry about the late update. I really hope you like this chapter. It was a while since I updated. I was busy. But here I am again.

Disclaimer: Pokemon would be funnier if I owned it. Why can't I?

----------------------------------------------------------------

Last time on "All fair in Love and Pokemon"

The three read it. It said:

The Grand Festival will be held in a few days. I do not have the ribbons for this but if you don't win and deliver the cup to me, I will show no mercy. I also have another condition for my cousin would want. I will tell you it after the Grand Festival.

The letter was not signed but addressed to Drew.

"I don't know what he wants the cup for, but I think I know who sent it." said Drew.

"Who?" asked Misty and Ash.

"BRENDAN!"

----------------------------------------------------------------

At the Wedding:

"Why would Brendan do that?" asked Misty.

"May told me about the first time they met." said Drew. "That same day was May's dinner with her parents. I was invited so when I got there, I saw him. May told me she got my letter and introduced me to him. He seemed nice. I actually thought of him as a nice guy. When we were leaving, I heard him muttering something but I couldn't hear it."

"May told me she never actually saw him until today." said Misty.

"I saw him too," said Drew. " And I actually heard him this time. He was talking to May. She told him everything. He was heartbroken when he heard we were engaged."

"Let's not jump to conclusions!" said Ash. "For now we need to find May, and I think I have an idea. But first, is Brock here, Misty?"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night, in the back of a van

May had freed herself of her bag, but was still stuck in the back of the van. She sat in the corner, quietly, with a blank expression on her face. Her dress was torn to pieces with her hair dirty and one of her shoes broken. She had remembered it all since the beginning.

Flashback

That same night, 3 hours earlier

May was walking up the stairs when she heard a voice. It was soft and sounded kind. She looked behind her and saw an old lady looking for something in her handbag. May turned back foreword and then heard the lady shriek with horror. She turned around to find the same lady being mugged by a somewhat 19 year old looking boy. May rushed down the stairs to go help the lady.

"Hey," said May tugging the bag away from him. "Stop that." The man wouldn't stop. He just kept on tugging.

"Skitty!" called May. "Use Blizzard." A tiny, pink, cat-like Pokemon jumped out of its poke ball and started to whirl up a blizzard. The blizzard hit the mugger and threw him to the ground. He got up and ran away. May help the old lady to her feet.

"Thank you, Miss." said the old lady. "You seem like a nice girl. Are you here with the wedding?"

"I am." said May. "I was just going to bed." The lady then saw the ring on May's hand.

"I see you will have a wedding of your own soon." said the lady with a grin on her face.

"Yes," said May. "This summer."

"Who is the groom?" asked the lady.

"His name is Drew." She said. "I have known him since I was ten. He used to be my contest rival."

"Good luck." said the old lady as she walking down the hall. May started walking up the stairs again but heard another sound. She looked behind her and saw the mugger. She was about to yell but he put a bag over her and trapped her in it. She struggled to break free, but could not. She was carried into the party room and heard a voice. The mugger was threatening someone to give him the ribbon cup. She heard something about herself so she knew he was threatening Drew. She thought to herself for hope that Drew would save her. She was later thrown into a van and left there. When the van left the hotel, May struggled to get out of the bag. She ruined her dress and ruined her day.

Back to the Present

May stood up and saw her bag. She just looked at it, thinking of her soon-to-be husband, her friends, and most of all her Pokemon. Then she got an idea.

"Blaziken," whispered May. "Use Overheat."

The giant Pokemon started heating up, and let out a huge blast of fire. The attack had no affect on the van.

"Don't you think I'm smart?" said the kidnapper. "I got a van that will not burn or explode in anyway."

"That voice," thought May. "It can't be."

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Wedding Part, 12:00

Ash had spotted Brock adoring all of the girls(as usually.) He called Misty and Drew over to him.

"Hey Brock." said Ash. "Do you have a minute?"

"What is it?" asked Brock.

"Can you help us with this?" said Ash as Drew showed him the note.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Brock had fully looked over the note. He was stunned.

"So this is supposed to be some sort of ransom not saying Drew has to give him some sort of a cup to let May go?" explained Brock.

"Yep." said Misty. "But what kind of cup?"

"I know." said Drew. "It's the ribbon cup."

Stunned, Ash asked "But haven't you been training for that cup all you life, Drew?"

"I know," said Drew. "But May is more special to me."

"But it says here after you give the cup to the guy," said Misty. "There is something else you must do."

"What would it be?" asked Brock. "If Brendan was the kidnapper, what would he want of you?"

"He would want me to call off the wedding." said Drew, in tears.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The van came to a stop at a dark house. The kidnapper pushed May out of the van. Two guards pressed a button and that little house became a tall, scary castle. They then took May by her arms and brought her inside. She saw a figure in a throne-looking chair and was pushed down to the floor. The figure stood up and started walking towards her.

"Well, well, well look who it is." said the man. "How have you been May? Have you kept in touch with your friends?"

"Who are you and what do you want with me?" shouted May in tears.

"You don't remember me, hun?" asked the man. "Maybe this will help!" The man walked up to May and became visible.

"Harley?!"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Misty, Brock, and Ash looked at Drew with a astonished face.

"He won't let you two get married?" said Misty. "But you love May."

"Why would he do that?" asked Ash.

"Because," said Drew, sobbing, "Brendan would set it up that he marries May, not me."

"May would never do that." said Misty. "She wouldn't marry anyone but you."

"I have to choose between her freedom or not." said Drew. "If I choose for her to not marry Brendan, she will never be set free. I care for her freedom before out marriage"

"Drew, love is special," Misty said. "Brendan can't stop you and May's love from burning."

"We don't know even if it was him." said Brock. "And we should go find out."

----------------------------------------------------------------

May couldn't believe her eyes. Standing in front of her was her old rival, Harley."

"Harley, what do you want with me?" asked May.

"What every coordinator wants." said Harley. "The Grand Festival's own Ribbon cup."

"How does that connect to me?" asked May.

"Simple." said Harley. "Drew will be entering the Grand Festival this year. All I had to do is write him a ransom note that if he gives me the cup plus another task, I will set you free to him."

"What is the other task?" asked May.

"He must call off your wedding." said Harley. "And you will marry my cousin."

"Drew would never sacrifice his love for me!" screamed May. "And he would never give up the ribbon cup."

"He must, or you will never see him again." snickered Harley. "Guards, take her to the dungeon." The two guards took her to a dark cell and tossed her in it. She knelt down, sobbing and praying for hope to live.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Brendan was talking on his cell when Ash called him over to the table. He walked over and sat down.

"Brendan, we know you like May." Drew said. "And you are jealous because we are engaged but did you kidnap her?"

"I didn't." Brendan said. "But I know who did.

"Who?"

----------------------------------------------------------------

May felt weak now and suddenly fainted. Harley walked down the stairs and saw the collapsed May. He thought to himself:

"Now, with May apart from Drew, she will not be a pain. If my cousin gets married to her, I can become the top coordinator. And with those two apart, they will be no match for me. I could destroy them both and ruined their chances to become any more powerful then I am."
