--MAY'S POV--

I was watching helplessly as Dustin and Drew fought. And Drew was loosing, bad. He fell onto the ground, dropping his sword. Dustin put his foot on his chest and pointed his sword's point towards Drew's neck.

"Any last words, dear brother?" Dustin asked. Drew simply glared, not daring to move with Dustin's sword to his neck. "Oh, I know, why don't I let you watch your beloved die in flames right in front of you?"

Both Drew's and my eyes widened. That creep was gonna burn me to death afterall. The purple blue flame crashed onto the tree, starting to burn it. I struggled to get out before it was too late.

"May!" Drew yelled, only having Drew stomp on his chest harder with a smirk.

"Argh, no!" muttered, until I felt the ropes come loose, as if being cut. Then someone grabbed me and jumped away from the burning tree. I looked up and saw Deven there holding a sword. "Deven!"

"I had a feeling you and Drew would need some help," he said. I smiled back at him.

"No, I've had enough of this nonsense!" Dustin shouted. He brought his sword up and was about to strike Drew until i ran, kicking him, thus catching his sword.

"Didn't think a girl could fight, could ya?" I said with a smirk on my face. Drew and Deven arrived behind me, a sword in each of their hands. And since I had Dustin's sword, he was a goner. And, well, we won.

I didn't have the heart to kill, so I just knocked him out and we tied him up. As for his Dusclops, well, I guess it ran away now that its master was defeated. We dragged him back to the castle and then as if on cue, a huge ray of light from the roof was cast upon the entire kingdom. The skies became blue, the buildings were up, and all of its people were restored. We ran into the castle, seeing a bunch of confused Nurse Joys. But to my joy, I saw Misty sitting at the corner with Ash laying on her lap, alseep.

"Misty you're alright!" I screamed. I ran to her and gave her a hug.

"I take it you defeated the bad guy already?" she asked.

"Does the unconscious guy tied in ropes give a clue?" Deven asked as he and Drew dragged him inside.

"So what happened to Ash?" Drew asked. Misty looked down and had a small smile on her face.

"He saved me," she answered. "Right now he's just tired. He'll wake up soon enough."

"Hey guys!" Dawn yelled as she ran down the stair case. She jumped and hugged me, spinning.

"I'm so glad you two are alright!" she exclaimed in happiness.

"So you cast the spell?" I asked.

"With the help of Mr. Maialis," Dawn added, seeing Soladad and our teacher walk down the stair case together.

"Aren't you the excited one," Soladad complimented.

"Well the horror is finnaly over," I reminded.

"May?" called a voice from another door. there I saw my grandmother. My face lit up again and I ran to her.

"Grandma! You're alright!" I exclaimed.

"I'm so happy to see you're in one piece as well," she replied.

"Well this sure is one happy ending, isn't it," Drew commented.

"You think?" Dawn asked. Suddenly, Ash started to still. Misty took notice and helped him sit up.

"Ash you awake now?" I asked. When he finnaly got his vision in his eyes again and saw all of us, he screamed Misty's name, making Dawn and I jump.

"Misty! Where is she?! I gotta save her-"

"Hold on Romeo, Misty's right here," Deven pointed out.

"Misty!" Ash shouted, suddenly hugging her. Dawn and I could see Misty getting red in the face, making us giggle.

"Come on, you wouldn't want to kill her right after saving her right?" I asked. And with that he let go with a sweatdrop and a laugh.

"Hehe, sorry 'bout that Misty," he apologize.

"I-It's ok," Misty stammered.

"H-Hey wait, everyone here," Ash said.

"And you just realized that now?" Soladad asked, thumping him on the side of his head.

"Yeah Ash, believe it or not we've finally won the battle," I announced. The we heard more familiar voices coming into the room. Max started running towards us with Roselia and Torchic behind him.

"Guys!" he yelled. I knelt down and gave him a hug, twirling around.

"Max you're not a statue anymore!" I cheered.

"I know right?" he laughed. "By what I heard from town, you and Drew defeated the villain behind this whole mess."

"That's right," Drew answered.

"Did you guys kiss yet?" he joked. Drew and I had tints of pink on our faces at the though of us kissing now that all the craziness was over. But back in the present, Drew's ghost did say he loved me, and I've been questioning myself over and over. I liked him back.

"Max get over here!" Dawn yelled with an anime vein, chasing him around the ballroom.

"Um, ok?" I finnaly said.

"Children, we should probably get back home. Everyone else will be wondering where we are," Mr. Maialis reminded.

"Oh that's right!" I remembered. I took my bag and pulled my golden pokeball.

"We'll be comming back soon?" Deven asked.

"We always do," I answered.

"We'll be waiting," Drew said. And with that I transported us back to the present and we appeared in the castle. But it was much more different. It was no longer ruins. In fact, it looks a lot like the one from the past, but more elegant.

"Woah, what happened?" I asked, shocked but also somewhat amazed.

"Hey guys, look outside!" Misty called. We all ran over to the window and our eyes widened. In the forest, Pokemon were everywhere. In the trees, in the water, in the skies, everywhere.

"Are you guys sure we're back in our time?" Ash asked.

"We are," Mr. Maialis began. "Since you all changed time so that Petalburg wouldn't be destroyed, it continued to live on, even up to the present-day."

"Wow," I said as a smile began to form onto my face. I couldn't believe it. Pokemon in the present day. Pokelantis was actually Petalburg.

We arrived back on campus, seeing all of the other students looking for us.

"There you are Mr. Maialis," said a boy.

"Where have you been?" asked a girl.

"Well, since a few of my students woke up early, I thought I could take them out into the jungle to keep them out of trouble," he lied. We never knew teachers could lie like that.

"Oh," answered the students. Me and the others looked at each other and started laughing. The next day, it would be our last day here at Pokelantis.

Over the afternoon, I found out Pokemon went national. Everyone at least 10 had a Pokemon, just like in the games. But of course, I would still stay with Torchic. Maybe even bring her to the Present some day.

"Ok class, since this will be our last day here at Pokelantis, go out and enjoy yourselves," Mr. Maialis announced. All of the Hajime students broke into excitement and ran off.

"I can't believe our feild trip is almost over," Dawn said.

"Well, we did spend most of it fending off evil forces back in Petalburg," Misty laughed.

"Wait, we still have to take that test when we get home," Deven remembered with a sweatdrop. With that, Ash, Misty and Dawn stopped in their tracks and hung their heads.

"Hey wait, where's May?" Ash asked. All of their heads started turning in all directions, looking for me. Actually, I wasn't in the present right now.

I was standing on my balcony with Drew back in Petalburg. Since it was just morning in the present, it was sunset in the past.

"You didn't have to come here you know," Drew commented. "I mean, it's your last day for your trip back in the future."

"yeah, but now that the bad guy's defeated, Petalburg finaly has some peace," I replied, walking up to the stone railing of my balcony, letting the wind blow in my face. "Sometimes, peaceful days in Petalburg maybe something you'd never want to miss out on."

Drew smiled and walked up beside me. "I'm glad everything turned out ok, May."

"Me too," I added. "Wait, were you really jealous of Deven before?" I asked with a smirk. Drew's face went a little red.

"Um..." he started.

"It is because ya like me?" I asked with a gentler face and tone. Drew's head jumped and his eyes looked straight at me.

"W-What?" he asked.

I sighed. "Remember when you were about to kill yourself? In the present, you already did, and your ghost haunted the ruins of Petalburg's Castle."

"So that's what you meant before," he said. I nodded.

"Yeah, you were being controlled by Dustin. And once Dawn broke the curse, you explained to me everything that happened in the past that caused the destruction of Petalburg. Y-You... You also said that you loved me," I said the last part looking down, blushing. Drew blushed as well.

"I-I did?" he asked in slight embarrassment.

I nodded with a shy smile. "Uhuh. Do you... still feel the same way now?"

"I..." he trailed off, trying to find the right words.

"Hm, I guess this was a little to weird for me to suddenly ask," I guessed. "Maybe I should get inside before it gets dark-"

Before I could walk in through the balcony doors, a hand grabed my shoulder, turning me around. The next thing I knew, I felt something on my lips, Drew's. After about three seconds, we broke off, leaving me blushing.

"W-What was that?" I asked.

"It was my answer to your question," he sad, no longer shy about it. I blinked from confusement, but them I started smiling, have a tiny happy feeling inside my stomach.

"Well, I better go now before Soladad lectures me about missing curfew," he said, getting ready to jump of the balcony and take his leave. Before he could, I ran up to him and hugged hin from behind.

"Thank you," I said quietly. He smiled and nodded. With that I let go and he jumped off, running towards the feilds. I touched my lips gently with my finger.

'I can't believe it. I just had my first kiss...'

--LATER--

"REALLY?!" Misty and Dawn squealed, making me lean back in my chair with a sweatdrop.

"Guys don't make her fall now," Ash joked.

"Ok, but I just can't believe you finally got your first kiss!" Dawn cheered.

"And on the lips," Misty said with a wink.

I blushing, hugging my pillow. Over the past two days, we were finally back home. But things have really changed. I finally got the courage to report Kira to the police right before she got back home. Then Mr. Maialis offered to become my foster-father, in which I said yes too. Right now were were all in my new room, which was way bigger than the attic.

"Come on, stop tteasing her," Deven said.

"But it's just so cute May had her first kiss with Drew!" Dawn shouted. And then she and Misty started squealing again.

"I'm glad Mr. Maialis isn't home to hear all this screaming," Ash said with a sweatdrop.

"Fine, no more screaming," Dawn said.

"So May, are you two going out now?" Misty asked.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I guess so. I met up with him yesterday and we spent some time together in the cave like old times."

"Aw, so romantic..." Dawn said, her eyes closed. "Now if only two other certain people could get together," she said, eyeing Misty and Ash. They both blushed as Deven and I began laughing.

"Either way, this will definitly be not the end of our adventures," I said, grabing on my necklace.
