Well folks, I'm back! And with a two for one special! Two chapter rewrites in one day! You lucky readers! Haha! ^_^

For those of you that are interested, I decided to not alter the author's note from last time. So, onward! XD

But anyway, here's the next bit! Enter DRAMA! (Ugh!) For those of you just catching the ride, I hate drama. But my sisters, who are my first audiences with my stories, insisted that this one needed MORE (how is that possible?) drama. So, they had me write this little segment. Now enjoy! Or not really…it's kinda more sad…

Oh well! Disclaimer time! Take it away, May! (Teehee, rhyme!)

May: *rolls eyes* Moving on, Lexi does not own Pokémon. If she did, I would be scared for my life.

Me: You know the only one who would actually have to be scared would be Paul. God, I hate that guy.

May: You know he's standing right there, right?

Me: *grabs tricked-out Bazooka* Where?

May: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, PAUL!

Me: MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *chases after Paul randomly blowing things up! XD XD XD*

May: Please excuse Lexi. She's had WAAAAAAY too much caffeine today…

AND NOW FOR THE ACTUAL STORY YOU ALL CLICKED ON THE LINK TO READ! YAAAAAAY!

Pokéchat #10

Ash was worried. For some unknown reason, May had called an emergency chat, meaning either something really serious had occurred that required their immediate attention, or this was one of those girl emergencies he didn't want to know about. And if that was the case, he figured he'd rather not know.

Regardless, however, he would soon find out. Here he was logging on just as instructed, and from the looks of things, Misty and May were already online.

So May, why did you call this emergency chat? He asked almost immediately (the sooner he knew the better).

You mean you didn't hear, Ash? Misty replied with a question of her own. Though it was only a chat room and he couldn't see her, Ash could almost tell there was something wrong…but that may have been from the fact that May wasn't posting any coherent messages. Instead, her posts consisted only of sad or sobbing faces. What the heck happened?

Didn't hear what? He repeated. Why's May upset?

But Misty didn't answer; she was distracted with May. Oh May, don't worry! I'm sure he'll be fine!

Who will be fine? Ash asked, slight panic rising in the back of his mind. What did I miss?

However, before either of the girls could tell him what was going on, someone else entered the chat room at that moment.

Oh May! Dawn was sounding just like Misty. I heard the news! Don't you worry! He'll be okay!

'But why is she comforting her?' Ash thought to himself, wracking his brain while trying to figure out what was up. Something terribly wrong had happened and he'd missed it completely!

May didn't cease her sobbing emotes, however—even with Misty and Dawn's continuing comforts.

But Ash had had it. He was going to know that happened right now. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

Once again, though, Fate didn't seem to favor him. Instead of any kind of clue, he received the arrival of two more of his friends…not the answer he wanted.

Brock sent a message within seconds of entering the chat. May, I heard the news! Everything will be okay!

Yeah, it'll be okay, sis! Max agreed. Wait, how did Max know something that Ash didn't know when he wasn't even in Kanto with them? HOW did Ash not hear about what was going on?

Will someone please, please, PLEASE tell me what's going on? He pleaded, desperate to learn what he missed.

I thought you would have heard, Ash, Brock commented. That wasn't an answer.

Ash calmly drew in a breath before typing a response. If I knew, would I be shouting at you to tell me what the problem is?

At least Max seemed to agree. That is a good point…

As Ash read a few more lines of May's sobbing emotes, he jumped to a conclusion. My guess is that it has something to do with Drew?

May answer him by posting the largest, saddest face possible on a computer, and Ash suddenly felt really bad about guessing anything at all.

Now look what you did, Ash! Dawn scolded.

Me? He replied quickly. I don't even know what's going on!

You really don't know? The blunette repeated the same question at least three people had asked him already. He was starting to get seriously tired of this.

No! What did I JUST get through saying for the past 5 minutes?

Dawn didn't post anything.

Look, Ash, Misty finally replied, here's what happened. May and *STOP HERE, MAY! DO NOT READ THE NEXT PART!* Drew were taking a hike yesterday…and, and there was this horrible rockslide caused by rampaging Golem…

Ash felt his eyes widen as he read the message over again. A rockslide? Everyone's okay, right?

May and Drew didn't get hit by the Golem, Dawn informed him. But Drew…fell while they were escaping…

Ash was shocked. He…FELL? Like…he fell off a cliff?

It wasn't a long fall! Brock told him quickly. He doesn't have any broken bones, thankfully…but he was knocked unconscious…

May surprised him by posting her first coherent phrase: And he hasn't woken up for seven hours!

It's okay, sis, Max comforted her. He will…he will…

But before anyone else could say anything to console her, they were interrupted once again by someone logging on:

Prepare4Trouble has logged on.

Make_It_Double has logged on.

Team_Rocket_Mascot has logged on.

Ash threw his hands into the air like some dramatic character on a soap opera. Then he remembered he needed his hands to type a response, so he brought them back to his keyboard and keyed in a reply. Dude! We so do NOT need this right now!

Well, aren't you just great at greeting people! Jessie snapped, like usual.

Go away! Misty snapped back. Can't you see we're having a dilemma here?

Why? What happened? Meowth asked.

Dawn had the same attitude as Misty. Can't you see someone's boyfriend has been injured!

Really? Who? Ash couldn't tell if James was just humoring them (because what else could he do on a chat?) or actually concerned.

Either way, Ash gave him the answer. Drew.

Which, of course, caused May to post the big, sad face again. He'd forgotten about that…

That's so depressing! Well, it seemed James was ACTUALLY concerned. Jessie…can't we just leave them alone today? This is a crisis we shouldn't be involved in! We'll only make it worse!

Yeah, Meowth agreed. This isn't a good time. Let's just go!

Jessie, however, didn't seem to share their sympathies. I can't believe you two! You want to just let them have a free day? Well I won't have it!

Oh yes you will! James argued.

Oh yeah? Make me! This was starting to get quite comical…

Fine! Hey Ash?

Uh, why are you bringing me into this? Ash asked hesitantly.

I need you to go get a friend of yours, James instructed. A little electric rodent…

'Well, Pikachu won't like that description,' Ash thought to himself. He wasn't really sure what James wanted Pikachu for and how it would help, but there wasn't anything they could do in a chat room…so why not?

Okay, hold on a second, he replied before turning around in his chair. He realized he had no idea where Pikachu was, exactly.

Thinking didn't really do him much good so instead he got up and wandered downstairs. Perhaps his mother would know…

And what he saw in his living room somehow didn't surprise him.

For some reason, all of Drew's Pokémon were gathered in his house. He knew why they all seemed very depressed, and he could figure out Pikachu was giving some sort of comforting speech…but what he couldn't figure out was why here? Why at his house? Why weren't at the house Drew was staying at?

Of course, then he realized that wouldn't have worked if he tried to find Pikachu then…so he decided to just drop the thought completely.

"Hey Pikachu," Ash interrupted, hoping his partner Pokémon wouldn't electrocute him for it.

The electric type seemed to sigh before turning to face him. "Pika?"

"This'll sound a little weird…but could you come on the chat? Team Rocket wants you online for some reason…"

Pikachu seemed to emit some kind of annoyed groan before turning back to the other Pokémon. He said something to Drew's Pokémon, then spoke to the rest of Ash's that were present also.

Finally, he turned and Ash led the way back up to his room. Then, Pikachu suddenly disappeared into his closet before reappearing with a silver laptop, which he set up on the floor and opened immediately.

Ash still couldn't figure out where and why his Pokémon had laptop when he didn't.

Deciding to let it go this time, he turned back to his own computer screen instead. Pikachu was logging on; the proof was just appearing on his screen.

Electricmouse101 has logged on.

Pikachu wasted no time with small talk. This had better be good. I was in the middle of helping to comfort Drew's Pokémon!

Pikachu! Do me and James a favor and give Jess a virus! Meowth instructed.

Pikachu seemed surprised as he took a moment to respond. Seriously? You're ASKING for a virus? Well, okay then…with pleasure!

Now wait just a minute here! Jessie typed quickly, but that was all she was able to get out before Pikachu unleashed his wrath.

THUNDERBOLT VIRUS!

Prepare4Trouble has been disconnected.

And now, we will leave you, James told them all.

Yeah, and we hope your boyfriend gets better! Meowth added.

Make_It_Double has logged off.

Team_Rocket_Mascot has logged off.

And as they left, Ash took the liberty to voice what everyone was thinking, That was the strangest thing EVER.

Electricmouse101 has logged off.

Not only was he surprised Pikachu left without saying anything, but he was equally surprised that when he turned around, his Pokémon was already gone from the room. The laptop wasn't even on the floor anymore!

How do you like that? Ash asked the others. He didn't even let us know he was leaving…

No one was really paying attention to him, though. Their attention was back on the sobbing girl.

Misty was messaging her currently. Hey May?

Yeah? She replied after a moment.

How about you, Dawn, and I hang out at your place? We can spend the night and keep you company…

NO! May replied instantly. I am not going to leave Drew's side!

It's okay, May, Dawn chimed in. Misty and I will just come stay with you at his place…okay? Then we can stay with you while you stay with him.

…okay…

Good, then we'll head over right away!

Mmmhmm, Misty agreed. Hang in there! We'll be there soon!

Thanks…

And then the three logged off without another word exchanged.

Princess_Of_The_Sea has logged off.

Ash felt awful as he watched the girls go. He wished there was something he could do, but he just couldn't think of anything…

Poor May, Brock broke his thoughts.

I think I'm going to go, too, Max told them. There's nothing I can do here…

Smartypants81 has logged off.

Well, that just leaves you and me, Ash, Brock posted after he left.

Yeah…but I feel really bad for May…

We all do…

As Ash continued to think of something he could possibly do to help, his thoughts were interrupted yet again…in another very odd way…

Croooooooagunk has logged on.

There was a one line post: Croooooooooooooooagunk!

Croooooooagunk has logged off.

And Brock's Pokémon was gone before either of them could realize what happened.

That was even stranger than Team Rocket's change of heart! Ash posted when his brain caught up.

Excuse me, Brock replied. I have something to take care of…

Ladiesman44 has logged off.

It took Ash another moment to realize that, with Brock now gone, he was all alone. There was no one else on the chat with him anymore.

Now what?

I_Love_To_Sketch has logged on.

Well, someone was online now, but Ash couldn't seem to recall who exactly this was.

Hey wait! It's the mental dude! He finally remembered. I mean… h...e...l...l...o... t...h...e...r...e... c...a...n... y...o...u... u...n...d...e...r...s...t...a...n...d... w...h...a...t... I... a...m... t...y...p...i...n...g...?

Ash? Hey! Wait! I'm not dumb!

Great, now he offended the mental person…hey wait a second! How did the mental person know his name?

Ah! Ash quickly typed. It knows my name! STALKER! And he didn't wait a second longer before leaving the chat with haste.

Pokémaster77 has logged off.

No! Wait! Tracey tried, but it was too late. Ash was already gone.

For a minute, Tracey didn't do anything. He just stared at the computer screen. Then, he proceeded to slam his head into his desk. Repeatedly. Just when he thought he couldn't screw it up again, he'd somehow managed it! And how Ash thought he was a stalker and would probably tell the others to watch out for his screen name…he'd never get a chance to talk to anyone!

A sudden "blip" sound alerted him to a new member on the chat.

Sparky201 has logged on.

Sparky? He didn't recall anyone with that screen name.

Hello? He tried, deciding that this time he would choose his words more carefully.

Chu pa pa?

The reply left him dumbfounded. Was that…did that mean something? He didn't understand. Then, it dawned on him. Wait! Now I remember you! You're that little fella from yesterday!

Pachi! Pa!

Then Tracey remembered something else from yesterday. Wait a minute…oh no…

DISCHARGE VIRUS!

"NO!" Tracey cried out loud as he was forced to leave the chat. As if Pikachu's constant virus wasn't enough! Now he had to deal with two of them! He sighed in frustration before closing his laptop and getting up.

He needed some air…

I_Love_To_Sketch has been disconnected.

A short distance away, at the house Dawn was staying in, Pachirisu sat behind her computer, smiling proudly at his handiwork.

Pikachu would be proud.

Sparky201 has logged off.

…

Stay Tuned! Will Drew be okay? Will he even wake up? Will May ever stop crying? How will Dawn and Misty comfort her? Can they make her stop crying? What about Brock? What did he have to do all of a sudden? And what about Team Rocket? Why were they being so considerate of May's feelings? Why would they even care? How will May and her Pokémon overcome this grief? And how must Drew's Pokémon be feeling? Will Tracey ever be allowed to chat? Or will Pachirisu take it up as a sport to stop him from ever chatting? And how will he convince Ash he is NOT mental?

To be continued...

Okay, there you go! Drama galore! What's that? You want MORE drama?

…what are you, nuts? That's insane!

But you know, it's really weird because just two days ago, my friends and I were climbing this really large hill/cliffside behind my brother's house (my non-blood-related, but as much of a brother to me as anyone brother, Drew) and one of my friends ALMOST fell (the root he grabbed onto broke). It was really scary…LESSON TO YOU ALL! Do NOT climb hillsides…without proper support, that is! (I know, I'm a great role model XD)

(2012 edit): Just something about the above story…it really was scary. But I have NO idea why I included it in this update…it's so random. Haha, I must have been hyped up on soda that day to the max! (Well it was over the summer so that explains it XD)

Anyway, so that's all for now! You get to all get on with your lives now! See ya soon!
