Chapter 8
When they reached the Relec Stone, May had calmed down. ''So when do you act like that?'' Drew asked. May sighed and brought out Espeon. She thought about the question while she examined the stone. ''I don't know. Whenever I'm irritated I guess.'' She finally answered. Honestly, she didn't know. It was the second time that it she had ever snapped at anyone and she hadn't figured out why. Espeon was sniffing around and May felt hollow because she couldn't hear Espeon's thoughts. ''You ok May?'' Drew asked. May felt a little warmth at Drew's concern, but it didn't make her feel better. ''I'll be fine,'' she said. She wished it were the truth though. She didn't know whether she was ok or not.
May started helping Espeon look, then found something in the rock around where she had been the night before. May started tugging at it and pulled it out. There was a flash of light, and May felt like she could do anything. When the light faded, Drew looked at her, making sure she was OK. Are you sure? You haven't answered us in awhile. Espeon said. May looked at Espeon, realizing that she had her powers back. I didn't answer you? It was Vice Versa! Anyway, at least Michel wasn't here. But we still have to find him. She added. May stood up and looked at Drew. ''You going to come with us?'' she asked.
''Where?''
''To find the others!''
''OK.''
May looked at Pikachu and gave a silent command. Go back to Eguan, we'll be fine. She said. Pikachu nodded and dashed off. May and Drew followed, but went to the entrance. ''Try to stay together. Oh, and we're going to the HQ lab first.'' She told Drew who was getting onto Flygon. Drew nodded and May got onto her motor bike.
When the two of them got into the lab, she found her mother. Only she thought twice about telling her where she was going. Instead, she told Daton. ''I'm going to go look for the others!'' she repeated. Daton thought this through and said she could go. May made sure she had all of her Pokémon, and found Drew. ''Do you have everything?'' She asked. All they needed were Pokémon, but she wanted to make sure that he had all of them. He nodded and the two of them left, flying on her Lugia. Lugia, go to the poke spot in the cave, she said. Poke spots were places where people could catch wild Pokémon, and May had a high feeling her friends were there. When they got there, May thought she could hear something, but it was just the wind. ''Come on, let's explore,'' she muttered to Drew. The two of them walked in, and May let out Skitty. Skitty looked around and found a little cavern, just big enough for someone to fit in. ''Come on.'' Skitty led the way down the slope. As May followed, she stumbled. ''God! Someone could get severally injured!'' As May fell again, Drew caught her and a few rocks fell down, hitting someone. ''Skitty!'' Skitty yelled down. ''Yeah, we're down here Skitty. May, why would you bring Skitty out?'' May sighed and looked at Skitty. She found the edge, and jumped down. Skitty followed and May caught her. ''You coming Drew?'' She called. Before Drew could answer, a voice came out. ''Who's in there?'' May thought the voice was familiar, but it was too far away for May to figure it out. Drew doesn't have a choice, Skitty said. Drew finally came down, as the voice came closer. ''Stupid kids. Trying to fool me!'' A chill went down May's back as the voice came closer. She looked up, but didn't see anything. Skitty saw May's look, and Michel grabbed her.
As the group advanced into the tunnel, May wished she knew where she was. ''Don't we have some way to see? Michel, what about Rapidash?'' Michel seemed to think about this while everyone stared at him. ''I don't know how he can do that! May can't, and neither can her Pokémon,'' Max said, May hit him on the back of the head and the shut-up. ''Big Brother, please pull out fire horse! Jovi need light!'' Jovi complained to Michel, though May couldn't tell whether he was listening or not. The entire time, he had his eyes fixed on May. ''Alright. Let's go Rapidash!'' There was a bright light and Rapidash was out. Skitty seemed nervous and May took in her surroundings. ''I think we should go that way,'' May said pointing to a dark path. Everyone looked at her as she and Skitty began to climb upward. ''Come on! This should lead us back into fresh air! Unless you guys want to stay here!'' She called. All of them looked at each other and followed.
When they got to the top, they tried to make their way to the exit, but were stopped. ''You are such an annoying little girl!'' They all spun around, out of bewilderment. May had fire in her eyes. It had been years since she had been called 'little girl,' and she was fourteen, which meant only a little longer until she was an adult. She smirked and looked at the guy in the eye. ''I guess we'll have to battle for our freedom,'' she said smugly. She felt all eyes on her, but she didn't care. ''Fine, I'll enjoy crushing you!'' May rolled her eyes, not amused. She sent out Skitty and Delcatty, who were looking for an easy battle. Both of you use Shadow Ball. She said boardly. Skitty and Delcatty did, and made easy work of their ''pray'' ''How could you beat me? You never said......It's you! Go, leave!'' May looked like she'd just been slapped, but left with the others. Do you think he knows you? Delcatty asked. May was too stunned to answer, but nodded and brought out Lugia. Let's go home. I need a nice shower.
Ok, yeah, sucky ending. who cares? it fit. and the only reason i updated 2 times today was because chapter 7 was so short and i had time to kill before practice, sooo i started editing, then finished after i got done with my math homework and dinner.... so here's chapter 8, and i'll leave you to Review!
