Okay, here is another chapter! This chapter is very... drabble-y... Anyways, enjoy! I own nothing!


All the Lies One Can Tell

Slateport City

"Dawn, how could you not hear that part?" May almost shouted.

"I had other things on my mind," Dawn defended.

"Like what?"

"Like if they found out!"

"You should worry about Aria!" May said, "What if they find out-"

"But they won't," Aria cut in.

"How are you so sure?" The two girls inquired.

"Because I'm me. Fabulous, wonderful, amazing me. Duh," Aria said sarcastically, "I mean, we're flying there, you know. Flying to Slateport and then taking water pokemon to Mirage. They're gonna figure me out by the time I enter that kingdom."

"Yes, but what about May? When they find out you're cousins-!"

"Dawn!" The two said, "Shh…"

"Right…"


"Now, as you know, you will be flying to Slateport city, then taking water pokemon to Mirage Island. Now then, as for your luggage, our buses will drive it to Slateport and ship it to Mirage Island," Mr. Irkedchild said.

"Go Flygon!" Drew called.

"Hit the stage, Dragonite!" Aria giggled.

"Togekiss! Spotlight!" Dawn smiled.

"I choose you, Charizard!" Ash said.

"Go, Flygon!" Brianna cooed.

"Tropius!" Said Casey.

"Let's go, Altaria!" Emmalyn smiled.

"Staraptor!" Paul called out.

"Come on out, Skarmory!"


"Why am I stuck with Drew?" May asked Dawn.

"I'd ask the same thing, May," Misty said, "Only I'm with Ash."

"Aren't I evil?"

"Hell yeah!" Aria cried from her Dragonite. "I haven't had this much fun since the Isshu Grand Festival!"

"Why that little…" May, Dawn, and Misty sighed.


By the time they reached Slateport, the skies were dark and stormy.

"Looks like we'll be staying at the inn," Irkedchild said.


The next day had not started off well. It was pouring and thundering.

"You're such a good Dragonite," Aria cooed.

"Shut up," Jordan, Brianna's twin sister sneered. "Just 'cause you're new and a Top Coordinator doesn't mean I'm not one of the princesses of this school…

"And Maple," Brianna added, "Just so you know, Drew is my prince."

She wouldn't know a real princess if she hit her in the face, Aria screamed mentally.

"And that Luxury Ball is so tacky. Take it from us, a Heal Ball is so much more fashionable," the twins added. "And a regular Pokeball on your ring, Maple? Ha! So cliché!"

"Just one more word outta you two," May growled.

Aria, clearly annoyed, slowly but powerfully ripped off the pokeball.

"You see this, hun?" Aria asked Jordan spitefully, "This is my best friend. Insult her to my face, I'll personally pummel you into the freaking ground."

"Humph."

Cold and harsh, Aria snapped, "If you wanna see why I was in Sinnoh so long, just repeat that little tacky speech of yours."

Misty snickered, "Looks like the Ice Queen is back."

"The what?" Brianna asked.

"Nothing, nothing."

"What do you have to pick with me, anyways, Brianna?" May asked.

"And what about me, Jordan?" Aria asked as well.

"Well… You're just in my way of getting Drewy!" Brianna snapped, loosing her cool.

"And Winters… You're just stuck-up and obnoxious and UGH! You think you're so perfect! No! No! NO! I'm the perfect one!" Jordan added, flipping out.

"Bitch," Aria growled, "If you think I'm so goddamned perfect, then live my life for ONE DAY, and see how you like it!"

"Yeah, she's back," Dawn giggled to Misty.

"Before I get ahead of myself," Aria said, regaining her cool, icy personality, "I want you to know that the fact you think I'm so perfect just proves how shallow you are. God, I don't lead a very interesting life!"

"Humph! Well, I know for a fact Barry doesn't even like you!" Jordan said, pushing Aria over the edge.

"Why you little…!"

"He likes me, the president of his fanclub… Duh."

"That's a load of bullshit," Drew commented to Paul and Ash, who were watching the girls fight while Barry got instant ramen from a snack stand.

"Barry thinks she's repulsive," Paul added, strangely.


That afternoon, the storm got seemingly worse.

Aria stayed in her room, furiously writing down angry thoughts.

May went looking at the shops, her red umbrella protecting her.

Dawn had dragged Paul dress and bathing suit shopping.

Misty freed some of her water-types to play in the water and the rain.

Drew, as cool as he was, was being hunted and stalked by rabid fangirls.

Barry was training, as was Conway.

Ash, the poor dense child, was sleeping.


The morning after the skies were clear, although the pokemon refused to get into the water, save Misty's pokemon.

"Great, we're stuck here another day!" Dawn moaned, "I really wanted to see Sara."

"Why are you so worked up about a girl you don't even know?" Ash asked.

"Well you see-"

Misty shot Dawn a glance.

"My mom's friend is on of her maids!" Dawn said.

"Oh!" Ash said, while Pikachu sweatdropped.

Misty shot Dawn another glance, saying, Nice cover.

"Ehehe… Anyways, Ash," Misty began before getting rudely cut off by Emmalyn.

"Ashy-kins! How are you? We haven't talked in forever!" Emmalyn cooed.

"Uh… Have we ever even talked before?" Ash asked.

"In our dreams," Emmalyn sighed.

"Wow… Creeper…" Misty said.

"Am not!" Emmalyn shouted.

Meanwhile, Ash slowly backed away.


Now then, a young girl by the name of Tamara (or by all her friends, Tammy) Violet was walking with her best friend, Ursula Rings. Tammy's starter pokemon, Bulbasaur, walking happily in front of them.

Tammy's red-brown hair was smoothly wrapped into a bun, while her green eyes were tired. Her tan skin was ashy.

"Good God, we're leaving in an hour. It took long enough," she said.

"I know, right?" Ursula said, her pink-brown curled pigtails bouncing.


While the students sent out their pokemon, May looked around the port.

Where is he? Where is he? Where is that stubborn brat? she thought.

"Hey, April," Drew said.

"Stop it!" May said harshly, "My name is May. May. Not January or April… Not even June! Just cut it out! It's MAY."

"Jeez, Maple, no need to get worked up about it."

"Yes there is! You stuck up, arrogant, annoying, stubborn, friend-abandoning jerk!"

Honestly, May was not made at Drew. She was mad at Brianna. But Brianna was mad that Drew's attention was on May. So he deserved it.

"You know…" Drew said, leaning into her, "You're really cute when you're pissed."

"God, Hayden, how many times have you used that one?"

Suddenly, Drew became cold.

"Well then," he said, storming off.

"Humph!" May sighed, "Alright, let's go, Squirtle!"

"We're going to Mirage Kingdom!"


Okay... It was so... strange... oh well. BTW, Tammy Violet was created by my really good friend, Eleanor, aka eleanor12... Review, please? ^-^
