Good morning people of the Earth!

It's a nice sunny day, the birds are singing, the flowers are glowing and the cast is still freezing in Antarctica! I sort oof forgot to get them a return ticket, but they're waiting for the plane now. So they'll be here at the end of the chapter…..hopefully. Oh by the way, I decided that I wanted to add at least one more couple into the story: *Drum roll* Ferriswheelshipping! If you've heard about the newest DS Pokémon game Pokémon Black or Pokémon White (I have Black), there are two characters in there. The girl protagonist (if you chose to play as a girl) named Touko/White/Hilda (I chose White) (In the game I called her Rose, but I can't now :( ) and the male protagonist (NOT the character that you chose to play as) called N Harmonia. They (or White) will appear for a short time in today's chapter.

Continuing the story, the chapter that you've all been waiting for; Field Trip aka chapter 7.

I do not own Pokémon

May POV


Ow. What's with the bright light? Why do I feel so sore? How long was I asleep? Where am I? Drew? What? Am I back in the cabin? Allthese questions buzzed repeatedly inside my head. Slowly, I opened my eyes, blinking several times to adjust my eyes to the morning light. Morning? Last time I checked it was night. As my eyes adjusted to my surroundings, taking all the different colors, objects and shapes, I noticed that all my friends were leaning over me.

"Good morning you guys. What's up?" I greeted, sitting up on my bed, rubbing my eyes as I did.

"Good morning to you too May. Nothing big is going on. No, wait. There is one thing big enough to get us all very curious." Dawn dragged on.

I tilted my head in confusion. What on Earth could they be talking about?

"Well you see," Leaf must have sensed my confusion and decided to carry on, "we were all wondering why Drew had to carry you back home yesterday," she smirked, while emphasizing Drew's name. But I did hear a pinch of curiosity behind her words.

I immediately started to blush baby pink for no reason. Why am I blushing in the first place? "Uhh…Umm…it was like this…uhh…" I swallowed hard before telling them; "Drew wanted to talk to me so I was forced to stay behind and listen to what he wanted to say only to find out that he somehow knows about my weird nightmare about green eyes that he states are his eyes and then he bid me sweet dreams." I drew in a huge breath. After all, I had just summarized everything in one breath.

Misty, Dawn and Leaf all blinked simultaneously before putting their 'serious face' on.

"That is really weird. How could he have known about that?" Misty finally asked, the same question bothering every single one of us.

Dawn's facial features suddenly changed into something that looked like panic. "Um guys? Not to sound off topic but…aren't the field trips today?" she squeaked.

We hurriedly looked towards the huge Munchlax clock on my wall. It read 8:35, indicating that we had less than 25 min to be at the front gate and it takes us 10 minutes to reach the main office from here, so we have 10 minutes to get ready.

"Ahhhhh! We don't have time! Luckily, I had planned for an occasion such as this beforehand!" And just like that, Dawn raced into her closet, reaching inside to retrieve 4 outfits. "Okay, this blue one is obviously Misty's, this green one is…Leaf's, the pink and white one is mine and the infamous red one is yours."

We all hurried to our respective bathrooms, only to come out at the same time fully dressed and hairdo done.

I was wearing a red tank top with a white short sleeved, slim, fitting, wool sweater which was knitted by our very own Dawn. Dawn had stitched the sweater with very big loops, not compacted, so you could see a lot of the red tank top underneath. I was also wearing jean shorts that came just above my knee along with white socks and red converses. For my hair, she wrote an instruction to leave my hair down (my hair came up to my shoulders by the way) and she gave me a red headband with a small white buttons going on top of it.

Misty was given a light blue tank top with an extra large loose dark blue jumper on top. The dark blue jumper wasn't fully zipped up, so one side grazed on her left shoulder and because the jumper was extra large, the jumper went down to her knees. She was wearing black fishnet gloves rimmed with light blue straps and buckles, not to mention that she was wearing black capris fishnet leggings under her extra large jumper. On her feet, she was wearing pale blue socks and dark blue converses. I suppose Dawn knew that Misty would be stubborn about her hair style because Misty's hairstyle was the same; up in a messy ponytail at the side of her head.

Leaf was clothed in an army themed tank top, holding a see through, elbow length light green cardigan. She wore a light green short shorts and knee high army themed socks and light green converses. Leaf's hairstyle was in a high ponytail tied in a light green see through ribbon and a sparkling emerald green hairclip was pinned on one side of her head.

Dawn…will be Dawn. She had a pink sequined top with a snow white fleece vest on top, but she left the vest unzipped. She wore white short shorts and her pink fuzzy uggs aka fur boots. Her hair was…complicated in a way. She had very very very quickly shampooed and conditioned her hair to give it the shiny look. She doesn't like to use hairspray because it damages her hair (or anybody's hair in fact). After blow drying her hair, she curled her hair into loose curls and put them into two pigtails, leaving two strands out, framing her face. She used her yellow clips to clip them to her hair, pushing the two strands back a bit from her face.

"You guys look awesome!" we all complimented in unison, "Thank you!" and then we all started laughing before Misty asked;

"What's the time now?" We looked towards Leaf's Syther clock only to find out that the time was 8:48.

"We really gotta scram girls!" Misty urged. We rushed downstairs and were out of the cabin before you could say Gyrados. I locked the house and ran to catch up with my friends.

"I'm so glad that we have you Dawn! If you hadn't had emergency clothes, we'd be goners for sure!" Leaf gushed, smiling broadly.

Dawn blushed at that compliment. "Aw, it was nothing you guys," then she put her thinking face on a brought a finger up the side of her face and tilted her head a bit. "Come to think of it, those clothes were emergency clothes for whenever someone asked one of you out and you needed something nice to wear. Oh well, C'est la vie (that's life) I'll have to do it again sometime," we all blushed as she finished her sentence.

"Dawn! You planned all this for when someone asks us out?" I asked in disbelief.

"Ohh please! Who in their right mind would ask you out?" came an arrogant voice. I grind my teeth in order to stop curses to fly out my mouth. That would be preposterous. Why now? Why?

"Be careful with what you say Drew, if I'm correct that would mean that you don- mmhph!" We turned around to see Paul and Gary chocking Ash. Is it just me, or does Paul and Gary sound a lot like Tom and Jerry? I heard Drew scoff at something but don't know what exactly.

"What are you guys doing here anyways?" Dawn asked at last, sounding suspicious.

"We are going to same place you're going. We would have gone earlier if it hadn't been for Ash oversleeping and our…breakfast mishap." Gary started sounding joking and playful, but at his last two words he seemed to think about what he was saying.

I glanced at my watch and almost backtracked. It was 8:57. "Yikes! We have 3 minutes till they start! We have to use our Pokémon girls!"

"Okay! May and I will ride on Alteria, Misty, you and Dawn ride on Togekiss 'kay?" Leaf instructed while taking Alteria's pokéball out of her pokébelt. Dawn and Misty nodded in understanding as Dawn pulled Togekiss' pokéball from her pokénecklace. As I mounted Alteria and Misty mounted Togekiss, I saw that Gary had mounted a Flygon which Drew was already on and that Paul mounted a Charizard that ash had already mounted on. But they were all standing on their Pokémon transportation, as supposed to us sitting.

"Let's make this a little fun shall we?" Gary suddenly said while we were racing to the front gate.

"Let's not shall we? We just want to get there fast and in time, unlike you guys who fool around," Leaf snapped in front of me. Now that made me raise an eyebrow. Leaf loves to bet, and she never snaps at a person who she doesn't know. Well, Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua and Team Galactic were under different circumstances though.

"There! I see the assembly! Leaf! I don't mean to be pushy or anything, but can we hurry up please?" I asked politely.

"I was thinking the same think. You think that you could do that Alteria?"

"Alter!" /Of course!

Alteria accelerated and started to descend once we were about 20 meters away. Leaf and I quickly jumped off Alteria and thanked her before Leaf returned her back into her pokéball. I could hear Misty and Dawn doing the same thing. But I couldn't see the guys. Huh. They must have fallen, goofed off or landed somewhere else.

"Good morning students! How are you feeling?" I spun around towards the stage to see our principal Soledad speak into the microphone. "Today is a special day. You know why? Because it's the first field trip of the year, and the first field trip for you freshmen! Anyway, there are tons of different groups to sign up in for example; there is the flying group that will take you for a ride in a hot air balloon or airplane -totally up to you by the way- around our region, so please check out our different field stations. Oh by the way! This field trip will take approximately 1 and a half weeks! But don't fret! We here a Jewels Academy have prepared everything for you. Just tell us your name at the pick-up counter and we'll give you your backpack. Thank you for your attention." And just like that, she walks off the stage.

"1 and a half weeks? I can't live that long without you guys!" Dawn and Leaf wailed.

"We've gotta be strong!" Misty fought to prove to them that we could handle this for 5 minutes.

"Okay, I get it Mist. Let's got check out the groups!" I suggested, pointing towards the piles of papers on the front desk.

We walked casually to the desk and picked up the first brochure our fingers came across. I picked mine up and read it out loud.

"'Do you love adventure? Do you want to experience life to the edge of your seat? Then this is the trip for you! The volcano group takes you to the heart of a volcano called Mt. Magi which lies on a deserted island close to Jewels Academy. This spot is special for coordinators who want to train their fire type Pokémon. The heat from the magma gives the Pokémon a special shine which appeals the audience in a contest. But keep in mind that only a limited amount of fire type Pokémon can work with magma. Even the strongest of the strong have never been able to withstand the heat. If you're a coordinator who thinks that they have what it takes to train with magma, don't shy away! Of course there's a course for trainers too bla bla bla' I am so going! Combuskin, Victini and Ninetales are going to be so pumped! And since it's on an island, there has to be a forest, and that's where I'll train Skitty and Beautifly!"

"I'm going for the mountain hiking group. My Pokémon and I love the fresh mountain air," Dawn breathed out, getting a dreamy look on her face.

"Me? I'm aiming for the mines. If I'm lucky, I'll find an amethyst. I love amethysts." It's true. Leaf has a showcase full of amethysts back in Goldenrod City.

And we all knew what Misty was going to take: The Beach.

"Well, you guys know what I'm going to take; the beach. I really want a Tentacruel, do want to see it once I've caught it?" Misty teased.

"Hey! That's just mean! You know that I hate" I got a glare from Misty when I said that. "…okay…dislike Tentacruel!"

"Let's get our luggage girls, and then let's scram off, capish?" Leaf ordered, looking at her watch.

We strolled over to the pick-up counter to get out bags.

"Name and field group please," said a kind looking woman behind the counter.

"May Maple and I've chosen to go with the volcano group."

"There you go sweat heart. Oh by the way, which Pokémon are you going to take with you?"

"Combuskin, Victini, Ninetales, Beautifly, and Skitty"

"Thank you," I examined the backpack I was given. It was a red hiker backpack which had a red rose design. I rolled my eyes at that.

Misty, Leaf and Dawn got into their assortment too and got blue, green and pink hiker backpacks respectively.

"Hey, I found a bus ticket attached to my backpack! It says that I need it to get onto the bus to the mine!" Leaf exclaimed, pulling the ticket off the bag.

"I got a ticket too! But for a boat ride." I said, waving my ticket around

"I have a pass for using water equipment"

"I don't have any.. No wait! I have one for using a hot air balloon at the end of the trip!"

"Oh oh, I got to go! My ships leaving soon!" I started to panic a bit when I saw what time the boat was leaving: 12 minutes.

"My bus too!" Leaf must have seen hers too.

"The groups are starting to form!" Misty pointed out.

"Well, see you guys in 1 and a half weeks!" I said, trying to sound peppy.

"Group hug!" And I was squeezed to death by Dawn.

"See ya guys later!" and with that been said, I ran to the dock.


"I made it!" I panted.

As I made my way to the common room of the boat, I ran into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" I apologized.

"Oh, it's all right. My name's White and I am a trainer from Unova. I'm sort of new to this region." This girl had really thick, soft, luscious, brown hair that was up in a high ponytail. She had a white cap with a pink pokéball sign on her hair. She wore a white tank top with an open sleeveless black vest on top. She had ripped short shorts and black boots. She had blue eyes just like mine: sapphire blue and a kind smile.

"My names May and I'm a coordinator. I've heard about Unova from my dad. My dad's a gym leader and all gym leaders meet up with each other. He is close with Alder and Cilan, Cress and Chilli. It's quite a distance, no?"

"You can say that again."

"Did you come alone? From Unova I mean."

"Nah, I came with a …good friend. His name's N." Is it just me, or did she blush a bit when she said N's name?

"Just a friend huh?"

"Anyway, I know that this might be weird, but I have a feeling that we're going to be great friends!" She smiled hugely when she said that and I couldn't help but smile back.


Done! The others are here in my house right now, but they're exhausted and I frankly want to sleep. it's 00:30ish now! Oh boy. Good night not-so-cruel world! Here's something for you to think about: Where are the guys? What field trip/group did they choose? Who's N? (Those of you who've played the game would already know). Is the cast ever going to come in?
