"Gary! What did you do that for?!" Asked May, angry at Gary who appeared and was holding a mallet, courtesy of a tempered red-head.

"What are you talking about May? We got Dawn! I hate to admit it but I lost Barry. Man can run like a monkey. But anyways, man that was hilarious with that friendship bullshit you told Dawn," laughed Gary.

May clenched her fists and walked up to Gary. "It wasn't bullshit." May delivered a fierce and powerful sky uppercut, knocking Gary down and probably breaking his jaw.

"I am so sorry Dawn..." said May as she knelt down to where Dawn was lying. Just then, someone appeared out of the bushes.

"Hey! I heard a loud crack…" The person, Barry, trailed off as he saw Dawn with a bruise on her head, May with tears in her eyes, kneeling down next to Dawn and an unconscious Gary.

Barry looked at the situation and then at May. "You back with us?" Barry asked nervously.

May got up and looked at Barry in the eyes. "I will kill Drew."

Barry stared at her before smiling and then he jumped. "YAHOO! We got our May back! Wait 'till Ash hears this! Oh, I guess I should get Dawn back to her place."

"Don't worry about me. I'm going to go find Ash and Drew," said May.

Barry nodded. "Good to have you back May!"

May gave Barry a thumbs up before running in a direction.

Pant…"What…" Pant… "is…" Pant… "going…" pant… "on around here?" A red headed girl was running and found herself at the school soccer field.

"I wish someone would explain why Kenny was chasing me," said the girl, Zoey as she let out a sigh. Just then, Kenny appeared.

"Zoey, come with me. Join Drew's crew! You won't regret it," said Kenny with a voice that sounded lifeless.

"What is going on with you Kenny?" Asked Zoey. "One day you're really excited for me to meet Barry and your other friends and the next you hate them with a passion, what's going on?"

Kenny seemed to stop at her words and then put his hand over his right ear. Zoey tilted her head in confusion and walked over to Kenny.

"Is something in your ear?" Asked Zoey. She moved Kenny's hand and saw a weird gem in his ear. She pulled it out and Kenny glowed orange momentarily before returning to normal.

"Ugh. Zoey? What's up? Why are we at the soccer field? Why does it feel like I've been sleeping for hours," said Kenny. Zoey blinked, she didn't even know the answers to those questions herself. Just then, Paul appeared.

"Zoey! And Kenny? Did you finally come to your senses?" Asked Paul.

"What do you mean Paul? Wait a second…I remember going to Drew's place," said Kenny as he started to remember his confrontation.

"Would I? May, hold out your arm." May gulped but did so. Drew then cut her arm a little bit and it started bleeding.

"OKAY, OKAY! I'll do whatever you say!" Kenny shouted once he saw tears drip down May's face.

"Good. Go get a Band-Aid May." May nodded and ran upstairs. Drew looked at Kenny and took a little jem out of his pocket. Kenny swore he saw that same jem on Morrison when he was taken to jail.

"Put this in your ear."

Kenny gulped and did that and then Drew pressed a button on a remote and all went black.

"Was he controlling me?" Asked Kenny.

"Controlling you?" Asked Paul.

"I don't understand what's going on but, Kenny was acting weird until I took this out of his ear," said Zoey. She showed Paul the orange gem.

Paul took it and inspected it. "This is interesting. I'll give it to Looker for an analysis," said Paul as he put the gem back in his pocket. Kenny and Zoey nodded. "Now then, we need to find Ash."

Ash kept running in hopes of finding May. But instead he ran into a red-head with a mallet.

"Misty," said Ash.

"Ash," said Misty. She started approaching Ash as he backed away.

"This has nothing to do with you Misty!" Shouted Ash.

"Oh but it does, because it involves Drew, which involves Gary, which involves ME!" Shouted Misty as she tried to hammer Ash who jumped away at the last second.

"Just leave me alone dammit!" Shouted Ash. He then remembered that Drew was with Misty. "Where's Drew? He was with you, wasn't he?"

Misty's expression didn't change. "Oh was he? Hm, I believe you're right! So where in the world could he be?"

Ash gritted his teeth. Drew was waiting for him somewhere and he knew, Drew will kill him. Ash wasn't going to die without getting May back as a friend. He jumped out of the way of Misty's mallet again and started running. He just wanted to find May.

"You won't get away from me Ketchum!" Shouted Misty and she started to chase after him until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Drew.

"Don't Misty. That leads to the Murkrow Forest. Those who enter, don't come out in one piece," said Drew.

"What? There's a sign or a fence isn't there?" Asked Misty.

"There was. But I got Gary to get rid of the sign. As to why there's no fence, I don't know," said Drew.

"What do we do now?" Asked Misty.

"We find May, Gary, and Ursula. We'll deal with Ketchum later," said Drew, and the two left. They didn't notice a certain brunette listening to every word.

"I'll find you Ash. I'll repay you for what you've done," May said, clenching her fists. "As for you Drew, I will get my revenge." May then ran off, entering the Murkrow Forest in search of Ash…

Been a while since I updated. As I said, I will be alternating between this story and Oblivia Battles. My next update will actually be tomorrow, believe it or not. This story contains no Pokemon, only real life creatures. (Dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc.) So Murkrow Forest isn't based on the Pokemon, but a Murky Forest and it has crows everywhere. I just thought of it for fun. I have been winging it for the past couple of chapters and I'm surprised that it isn't that bad.
