Yay, an update!

May: This story is so messed up! I mean come one they threw my uniform in the pool!

Drew: Shut up you took me with you.

Me: That's cause you wanted to save her so you grabbed her hand.

Drew:…..so?...

Me: Ugh…I do not own Pokémon

Not Easy

"So Marina do you have anything planned today?" I asked as we walked down the hall. It's been a good month since my whole pool incident and I haven't seen Drew or his band of jerks ever since. Thank God too. Despite all that Drew has been occupying my mind….he tried to save me….however he did a horrible job, he still tried to save me and I had to admit…I miss him.

"Me and Lil Miss have to head to performance classes." Marina said happily as she gripped her books tightly. "And after that we're gonna watch a battle between Drew and …Jimmy." Marina seems to always take a pause before mentioning Jimmy's name. I have to say Jimmy is a cute guy and that would give Marina a good reason to like him….but she would never because him, like Drew, is just a big jerk.

"Hmm, I have nothing better to do so I'll come watch the battle too! At what time?" I said as we approached our classroom. Marina stopped at the door as she thought for a second.

"About 3, so you'll have enough time to head home and change." Marina explained nodding as we entered the class. As always the teacher was nowhere to be found but I was surprised to found Drew leaning back in his chair with his friends surrounding him. He had skipped class for so long that I forgot that he was even in my homeroom.

I stared at the back of his head….just staring; I don't know why I was so fascinated with just the back of his head but for some reason I feel rather glad that he came to class. Something fluttered up in my chest like a swarm of wild Butterfrees.

"May?" I snapped out of my daze and looked to Marina who was tapping her foot in an impatient manner. I guess I zoned out. I smiled awkwardly at her, she just rolled her eyes and we sat at our seats. The door opened and I was surprised to see a teacher was actually here and she was carrying a medium sized box. She set it on the desk at the front of the class and proceeded to write on the board. I watched as she stepped aside for us to read what she had written.

Class Championship Battles tomorrow

I was rather confused, what were championship battles?

"Okay students as you know every year we hold our school class battles," the teacher said adjusting her glasses. She looked down on the roster she had in her hands than back to the class. "For the few of you who are not familiar with the event, it is a day when we are supposed to participate in Pokémon battles. All the students participate and whichever class wins the most battles are put at top rank for the year and earn a weeklong trip to the shore."

I was overjoyed with excitement. I've always wanted to go to LaRousse shore; it's said to be one of the best beaches in the entire region of Hoenn. This is the perfect opportunity. I've been training for contest battles so I've gotten into the skill of beating my opponents in less than five minutes.

"Considering this is class 1-G, you must be backing down already." The teacher said. I was rather confused once again…what did she mean. "I'll just leave the class t-shirts here anyway." She said before exiting the room.

"Wha? What is she talking about? What did she mean by backing down?" I asked Marina frantically. Who would want to back down on a chance to go to the shore and everyone loves a good battle! They're so fun to participate in!

"May, this class has refused to participate in the battles since sixth grade. We never won even though we have the strongest battlers in the school in this very class." Marina said. I tilted my head rather stunned. Who could possibly be the best battlers in this room? Class 1-G is a bunch of slackers!

"Who are you talking about?" I asked looking around the room to see if I could find anyone that looked remotely strong in the field of Pokémon battles. Marina sighed and turned my head to Drew and his friends. I looked past them still looking for the so called best. "Marina I don't see anyone all I see is Drew and the others."

"It's them!" She exclaimed. I shook my head in disbelief and laughed mockingly at her. She must be insane. That group of boys is the stupidest lot I ever met in my entire life and she claims them as the best, well if she's right than I'm a Mew.

"No way Marina…them? They are the biggest idiots that a girl could ever meet. I bet my life they couldn't win a battle." I stated in a matter-of-fact tone. She laughed lightly.

"I really hope you don't mean that." She said getting up and gesturing me to follow her to the computer in the back of the room. I followed her then she went onto a specific record holder and scrolled until she found something it was a picture of Brendan.

"Brendan Jacobs, top ranker in the Amber league six time winner and battle frontier conqueror." Marina read. My eyes bugged out and she scrolled up again and there was a picture of Paul. "Paul Shinji, top ranker of the Sinnoh League, seven time champion claimed status as a Pokémon master and former gym leader."

"Are you serious!?" I shrieked. She nodded and scrolled up again.

"Jimmy Kento, top ranker in the Chronicle league, six time winner and battle instructor for local children facilities." Marina sighed dreamily. I glanced at her and I could have sworn I saw her blush! She scrolled up again. "Ash Ketchum, Orange, Kanto, and Johto league top ranker, eleven time champion, frontier brain, Pokémon master, and he's a gym leader."

"Wow, I thought Ash was the stupidest out of all of them but he's actually the best." I commented rather surprised. Ash is sort of an idiot….

"Oh just wait till you see Drew's record, unlike his buddies he found a passion for coordinating but he has tried gym battles before. He is an eight time top coordinator, six time champion in some of the minor leagues, six time top ranker, he has been offered a place in the elite four as did Ash but they both turned down the offer. Ever since Drew has left coordinating to come to school he has been undefeated in all the battles he's ever participated in. That's why the battle between him and Jimmy is so big, they never battled before."

"That's so impressive! Why don't they want to be in the championships? It's an easy win! Oh and by the way call me Mew from now on." I exclaimed. Marina shrugged.

"They're boys May, they're known to slack off. To them it's un-cool or something. If I could I would participate but….we can't go up against all the other classes in the school just the two of us."

She had a good point and that point is what drove me to stomp my way to the front of the class and grab the box of class t-shirts and drop them right on Drew's desk. The class fell silent as I glared at him in the eye.

"Well what a pleasure, you're back to get on my last nerve cause you didn't finish the job?" He asked smirking in an evil way. Paul, Brendan, Ash and Jimmy surrounded me but I kept my fear down and tried not to feel or look intimidated.

"We are going to participate in those battles….as a class!" I said simply. He laughed lightly closing his eyes and I could hear others snicker as well. I was shrinking on the inside and I just wanted to walk away but I can't back down….I promised I would make school fun and not just for me…for all of us.

"Are you serious?" Jimmy laughed. I flushed in embarrassment but held my ground.

"100 percent! You guys are the best! Why are you hiding your talent?" I turned and looked at each one of them. "Jimmy is a battle instructor, Paul is a Pokémon master, Ash is a frontier brain, Brendan is a six time champ and Drew….you won the grand festival eight times…do you know how many times I wished I could at least travel to participate in contests and become a top coordinator at least once?"

My eyes connected with his and I put on the best desperate look I could. He stared at me blankly before finally sighing.

"Okay princess, we'll play along and participate." He finally said. Half the class gasped in shock.

"Drew, are you serious?!" Paul exclaimed. Drew simply nodded with a smirk. I smiled happily. However a stream of confusion overwhelmed me. Since when did he call me princess?

"This is so great! This'll give us a chance to become a real class that can actually work together!" I said as my eyes sparkled in excitement as I pictured the day of the championships which was this Friday which was tomorrow.

"Do you really think I would just say yes without there being a catch?" Drew asked tauntingly. My whole vision and excitement shattered. It was too good to be true.

"How foolish of me." I said sarcastically. "So what's the price?" He tapped his chin thoughtfully for a while with his feet propped up on the desk and I began to think about how he might use this as an opportunity to torture me for my disrespect towards him.

"Well on the day of the battles we will be hungry so you'll have to make a lunch for every kid in the class, and all the t-shirts need to have our names and class on them so you'll have to do all that by tomorrow. If not than we won't help."

"Easy!" I said happily.

………………

"NOT easy!" I exclaimed as I tried to sew Brendan's name into a shirt but it came out horribly.

"May, you should have never agreed!" Marina said as she relaxed on my bed. I rolled my eyes at her and proceeded in removing the horrible stitch work I had just did on the blank t-shirt. "Now we're going to miss the battle and I've been waiting for ages just to see it!"

"Ugh, Marina you should just go, you already missed performance practice just so I could console in you…I want to see the battle too but….looks like you'll just have to go without me. I have thirty two lunches to make and t-shirts to label. Tell me who wins." I said sadly as I pricked my finger on a needle.

"Aw May, you're my friend….I could never leave you like this, you've been the most courageous girl and the first person to ever stand up to Drew, I respect that and I wish I could be like you…I'm gonna help." Marina said with a smile. I smiled as well and the two of us hugged.

"Okay…but still these t-shirts are hard to do!" I whined. Marina tapped her chin as she thought.

"Why don't we give this all boy class a hit with some girl power?" Marina suggested with a smirk. I thought for a second then smirked as well.

"In that case I'll need some cloth glue, different color sparkles, a frying pan, lots of oats, rice, and steak? Yea boy's like steak…. and a ruler!" I said.

What is May planning to do with cloth glue and steak?

May: I have a couple ideas….

Drew: That's because you are May.

May: What's your point?

Me: Pweez review!
