"I found some info on your mother."
"W-What? But I thought-"
"Yes. Apparently the info was hidden but I found out about who killed them."
"So someone did kill them?"
"Yes. I never thought you were right when you said you think someone killed them. Although what I did find out was that your parents were on the same plain as the famous Koga. A ninja. And the plane was hit by what I'm assuming to be a bomb and, you know the rest."
"So they weren't targeted specifically?"
"No."
"Who killed them?"
"Giovanni."
"The man who is in control of the Rockets?!" Right now the Rockets are in control of Kanto and are now fighting Johto.
"That's right."
Ash just looked down in sadness. He can only hope that Giovanni would die. But what can he do now? Go back to school? But what about May? Drew? Gary? Misty? What about…Dawn, Kenny and Barry?
"I can't believe Ash would do that to you!"
"I know but I think it's time you heard the truth May." Drew was telling May's of things Ash 'did to him.'
"Ash…I thought he was so kind. When he saved us…But now I see he's a piece of shit!"
"Thank you May for your support."
"Anything for you, Drew."
Later May was at her home…
"It's about finally time I did this! Relationship status, no longer single but taken!"
Two seconds later, Dawn called her.
"OMG MAY! When did you and Ash start dating? Tell me everything!"
"What are you talking about Dawn? I and Ash aren't going out. I hate him if anything. He's a jerk. I'm going out with Drew!"
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT?! DREW?! YOU HATE ASH?! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED MAY?! DREW'S AN ASSHOLE!"
"Dawn, when you get to know Drew, he's a really nice guy. Ash has been lying to us. He has done so many horrible things to Drew."
"I don't believe it…"
"I'm sorry Dawn, but it's the truth-"
"Not that! That Ash was right…You really did betray him…Why would you do this May? Go out with Ash's worst enemy and the one who beat up Kenny?"
"Dawn, Drew told me his reasons. Ash provoked Drew. Dawn, who are you going to believe, me or Ash?"
"Like you have the rights to say whose words! You believed Drew over Ash! The guy who has helped you through thick and thin!"
"Dawn-"
"May, I have to go. Maybe we'll talk again when you come to your senses. Bye."
"Bye-" Dawn hung up. May has never heard Dawn so…disappointed and depressed. Has she really betrayed her friends? No…Dawn never heard the story from both sides. They've only been hearing the fights with Drew from Ash's side, not Drew's. But now it was to decide, Drew, or another one of her childhood friends, Dawn.
"Hey Dawn…" May was at the park after school where she wanted to meet with Dawn.
"Hey May. We need to talk."
"I know."
"May, you can't go out with Drew. You just can't."
"Why not?!"
"He's a terrible person. He's nothing but a bad influence. You weren't there but you should have seen Gary…He was so willing to beat up Ash. He just followed Drew's orders. I don't want you to become like him."
"Dawn, Drew is not a jerk. Gary listens to Drew because Drew is actually a really nice guy. Ash is a pathetic excuse for a human! He's been bullying Drew before we even met him!"
"May, are you even listening to yourself?! Ash has been there for us so many times, remember my mom's wedding? Remember when he helped your dad helped you realize your dream? That wasn't even that long ago!"
"SHUT UP!" That was the first time May yelled at her best friend. "IF YOU DON'T RESPECT MY CHOICES OR MY BOYFRIEND, THEN WE'RE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE!"
Dawn was taken aback by the outburst. "May, I only want what's best for you…"
"Then you wouldn't tell me who to go out with and who to not go out with! Now goodbye Dawn!"
May left and Dawn had tears in her eyes as she walked in the direction of Ash's house.
At Ash's house…
"Well, I can only hope Giovanni is killed but if he isn't, I am heading back to Kanto to deal with him myself!"
"Even though I doubt that, I will help you in any way I can Ash."
"Thanks Paul. Now we have to wait for Dawn."
"Dawn?"
"Yeah, you know, blue haired, where's a short pink skirt and black top."
Paul still didn't seem to remember.
"Hmm…When Drew and Gary double teamed on Kenny, Dawn kneeled down to help him, and everyone saw her pink panties."
"Oh yeah. The blue-haired chick."
"There you go."
"Why are we waiting for her?"
"She is going to confront May and talk to her about Drew. Either she will return with, or without May."
"I'M GOING TO FINE MAY!"
"Calm down Barry."
"Come ON Kenny! Aren't you made that she is going out with the one who beat you up and is always picking on Ash?!"
"But Barry, we have to respect May's decisions even if we don't like it and believe me, I REALLY don't like it but she's our friend and we have to support her."
"Not if she's going out with Drew!"
"Why do you hate Drew so much?"
"Listen…Drew was born in LaRousse City."
"I know that."
"But when he was little he went to Twinleaf preschool. You never went to preschool so you wouldn't know this but he always made fun of me and Dawn. He would always bully us and step on our toys and break them. And when we both moved here, Drew moved here and started bullying us. Eventually we forgot him as we became pranksters. But then, Drew did something I'll never forget."
"What's that?"
"He almost killed Dawn."
"What?!"
"It was shortly after we started hanging out with Ash, me Ash and Dawn invited him to come with us to the park. There we were having a good time and at the time we thought Drew would be a good friend. Until he did that…He dropped two glass bottles under the monkey bars."
"What does that have to do with killing Dawn?"
"Interrupt me again and I'll fine you! Anyways, the bottles broke, leaving shards on the ground so if you fell, you will be experiencing pain, absolute pain, it was a big wine bottle by the way. He then climbed the monkey bars and stood on top of them, taunting Dawn that she could never get across. Dawn said she was scared to go on the monkey bars and be and Ash said we would catch her. What we didn't know was that Drew had a third wine bottle. I and Ash had shoes on so we just stepped on the shards while Dawn made her way across the monkey bars. When she got to where Drew was standing, she reached for the next bar and Drew pulled another bottle out of his pocket."
"Hey Drew, why do you have another empty wine bottle?" I asked.
"Oh, just so I could do THIS!" Drew smashed the bottle on Dawn's hands when she got both of them on one ring and then Drew jumped off the bars and ran. She cried in pain and fell. I and Ash knew that if she fell and hit all those glass shards on the ground, it won't be pretty. Ash instantly yelled at me to get Drew and then Ash instantly caught her but fell to the ground, getting some nasty cuts on his back. I ran and caught up with Drew and tackled him to the ground. What I didn't know again was that he had a glass shard and he cut my leg with it and then he ran.
"Wow…I didn't know-"
"We decided to not tell anyone."
"Why?"
"To be honest, I and Ash wanted to but Dawn said to just forget it. But I and Ash have not forgotten that and that is why we will NEVER forgive Drew."
"Jeez Barry. You sure care about Dawn."
"I used to like her Kenny but, you know I think of her as my younger sister. Me, Ash and Dawn. We're kind of like a family. And you and May are the friends."
"What?!"
"I mean best friends that we could count on! That would be there whenever we need you! But I guess May isn't out best friend then…"
There was a knock on the door. Ash opened it and saw Dawn crying. Dawn immediately started crying into his chest.
"Dawn, where's May?"
"Ash…we lost her. She's with Drew."
Umm…I know, I know, the scene with Ash, Barry, Dawn and Drew was bad, I get it! I couldn't think of anything else alright! I feel like this is a school group fight story now. Ash, Barry, Dawn, Kenny and Paul against Drew, May, Gary, Misty and Ursula. We will probably get into Ursula's character soon and some new ones and don't worry, there will be NO Pearlshipping. It is just simply Ash seeing Dawn as the sister he never had and vice-versa. I decided to make Barry more important than I was planning because I like Barry. I like Kenny too and I will find a role for him…maybe. No promises Kenny fans. Anyways, tell me what you think will happen next chapter? I kind of need ideas…I will probably just get inspired by your reviews. Anyways thank you for reading! See you next chapter or One-Shot!
