They walked on for a while until they saw a blinding bright light. It was the exit to the ice cave. Anny and May cheered while the boys just stood there.
"Should we tell them?" Johnny asked.
"Girls, we're leaving with out you," Drew said.
"WHAT?!" They screamed and ran to catch up with the boys.
"It worked," Johnny said.
They walked out of the cave, and looked around the city they were in. There were buildings everywhere, and a gym next to a lake with a cave at the end of it. The lake was overflowing because of all the rain. A blue haired girl with a black dress on ran up to them. A Dragonair flew loyally at her side.
"You shouldn't be here," she said.
"We have to find the gym leader, ma'am," May said, politely.
"Me?" The girl asked.
"Are you Clair?" Johnny asked.
"Yes, I am. You need me?" She asked.
"Yes. We need your help. I'm Drew and that's my friend, May," Drew said.
"I'm Anny."
"And I'm Johnny."
"Nice to meet you all. Now, what do you need?" Clair asked as her Dragonair flew around her.
"We need to save the world!" May yelled.
The wind blew Clair's hair into her face. "This is about the death of Suicune, right?" She asked.
Everyone nodded.
"Can you help us?" Mew asked. Clair didn't seem surprised that Mew was there.
"Of course," she replied. "Follow me. We must go somewhere dry."
Clair began to walk towards the cave behind her gym with everyone following her.
The gloomy weather was making Dragonair's jewel on her neck glow. She shot a pink and orange beam at the sky. The beam broke through the clouds, causing a bunch of water to fall on the group.
"Dragonair," Clair said, looking at the sorry dragon.
"Air!" She shouted.
When they reached the cave, the water was almost touching the top of the cave.
"Dragonair, use whirlpool," Clair commanded.
Dragonair's jewel began to glow. Moving her head towards the water, Dragonair's eyes started to glow pink. The water began to flow in a circle. Picking up speed, the water splashed up against the ground.
"We can sit on those rocks," Clair said, motioning them to sit on the newly visible rocks.
Clair was on Dragonair in the middle of the rocks. Anny and Johnny sat on rocks across from each other. Mew was floating by Clair. May and Drew shared a rock along with Pikachu. May kept looking at the whirlpool behind them.
"Don't worry," Clair said, "It won't get us."
"We have to discuss something with you, Clair," Mew said.
"I know," Clair replied. "It's urgent and I know what to do."
"You do?" Anny asked, surprised.
"I've been trying to stop this storm ever since it started," Clair explained. "I think I've found a way." She help up a jewel that looked almost exactly like the one around Dragonair's neck. The only difference is that this one was bigger.
The jewel began to glow a dark blue.
"What will that do?" Drew asked her.
"This jewel was made by 23 Dragonair all using the same attack," Clair said.
"What attack?" Anny asked.
"Dragon rush," Clair replied.
"I thought Dragonair could control the weather," Drew said, confused.
"Suicune has more power then they have. My Dragonair has tried many times to stop the storm, and each time she has failed."
"How will this jewel help?" Johnny asked. Mew turned to Clair.
"You must trap Suicune's spirit in this jewel. Then take it to the shrine dedicated to the legendary dogs in Cianwood city."
"Where is that?" Drew asked.
"Past Olivine city. It's an island," Clair replied.
"That will stop the storm?" May asked.
Clair nodded. "Suicune will still be dead, but its spirit will be at peace."
"And it will stop hating humans," Mew added.
"You must hurry. I'm not sure how much longer the world can last," Clair said, handing the jewel to May.
"How do we get Suicune's spirit in here?" May asked.
"Love," Clair replied.
"That's the craziest thing I've ever heard," Drew said.
"Love will show Suicune that you're not evil. With out love, Suicune might kill one of you." Clair explained while Dragonair nodded.
"What if it doesn't work? What if someone does die?" Johnny asked.
"You must try. You can't let the deaths of 23 Dragonair be in vain." Clair said.
"They died to make this?" May gasped.
"I'm afraid so," Clair nodded. "Now go!"
"Where are we suppose to go?" May asked.
"To find Suicune. Mew should be able to track it, right?" Clair asked.
"Of course I can," Mew replied.
"Then go. Time is running out," Clair stood up and everyone followed her out. "I must go," she told them.
"Why?" May asked.
"I must help the Dragon and Rock Pokemon that live here," Clair answered. "Good luck."
Clair was running towards an injured Graveler.
"Where is Suicune, Mew?" Johnny asked.
"Suicune is right behind us!" Mew yelled as everyone turned around. They saw a ghostly figure behind them.
"Suicune," May exclaimed.
"Sui!" It growled, launching some kind of water attack at May.
Drew quickly pushed May out of the way so the attack wouldn't hit her. The water soaked through his cloths, and the power of the attack pushed him backwards.
"Drew!" May shrieked.
"Get Suicune," He yelled over its howls.
May ran towards the beast, but it jumped over her. Growling, it shot a lightning bolt at her.
"Pika!" The mouse Pokemon jumped in front of her and absorbed the attack.
"Shouldn't we help May?" Anny asked Johnny.
"No, only Drew can help her," he replied.
Suicune jumped through May's body, causing her to shiver. A sickening feeling overcame her. She fell to the ground, her eyes a dull gray color, and her body was stiff.
"May!" Drew yelled and ran to her.
Suicune was howling proudly at what it did to May. Drew glared at the beast.
"Is she alright?" Anny asked.
"I don't know. Suicune did something to her," Drew replied. He held her stiff body close to him.
"Is she alive?" Johnny asked.
Drew checked to see if she was breathing. Then he checked if her heart was beating.
"This is bad. Her heart isn't beating and she isn't breathing," Drew choked.
"What did Suicune do to her?" Anny asked, glaring at the happy beast behind them.
"Remember what Clair said?" Johnny asked them.
"What about it?" Drew asked not really caring.
"If love will show Suicune we're good maybe it'll bring May back," Johnny suggested.
"How does that work?" Anny asked, crossing her arms.
"It was just an idea," Johnny sighed. 'Why won't they listen. It could work,' he thought.
"I win," Suicune walked over to them. The wind picked up as it grew closer.
"What did you do?" Drew asked, shaking.
"I stopped her stupid heart from beating. She was trying to get me," Suicune replied.
"May…," Drew said, sadly. A single tear formed in Drew's eye. It rolled down his cheek and landed on May's forehead.
"Even if we win, we still lose," Johnny said, pounding his fist on the ground.
Anny turned her gaze to the ground in defeat. 'Even if we save the world Drew would have lost something important to him,' Anny thought, returning her gaze to the girl in Drew's arms.
Mew had a disgusted look on her face.
"How dare you kill her!" Mew spat.
"What? I did the world a favor. No one needs her," Suicune replied.
"That's not true!" Mew argued.
Tears stung Drew's eyes. He never cried. No matter what happened, no matter what anyone said. But this was different. For once in his life, he actually felt sad enough to cry. So he did. All his tears landed on May's face. He was too busy crying that he didn't notice the white light that started to surround him.
"Drew!" Anny yelled.
Returning to reality, Drew opened his eyes to see a white light all around him.
"What the?" Drew looked around for the source of the light.
"Make a wish," A soft voice said.
"What?" Drew asked.
"Make a wish. I will grant it," the voice answered.
"Why would you help me?" Drew asked, still looking for the voice's owner.
"I was sent here to help save the world, but you need saving first. Make a wish. I'll grant it," the voice repeated.
'I wish May was alive,' he thought.
"You got it," the voice squeaked, and flew into the sky.
The white light turned into a arrow, and flew into May's body. The ground shook a bit, then stopped.
The light faded, revealing a tiny Pokemon with a yellow star on its head. The Pokemon flew over to where Mew was.
"Thank you, Jirachi," Mew thanked the star-like Pokemon.
"No problem," Jirachi replied, flying around Mew trying to get her tail.
"Something's never change," Mew said.
Drew looked down at May. She was still so stiff and cold. One final tear landed on her cheek.
"Drew…"
"May!" He looked at her. She opened her sapphire eyes and looked at him.
"Stupid Jirachi," Suicune muttered.
"Where am I? What's going on? Why are you crying?" May had a million questions she wanted to asked, but no one could understand her because she was talking too fast.
Pikachu jumped into her arms crying.
"What's with you, Pikachu?" May asked really fast.
"Slow down. I can't understand a word you're saying," Drew said. May nodded and was going to speak again, but Drew stopped her.
"I'll explain everything later. First we must catch Suicune," Drew smiled.
"Ok… did you just smile?!" May screamed.
"Yeah, so what?" He asked.
"It's the end of the world!" May got up and ran around in circles.
"May, we have to get Suicune," Drew said, calmly.
May stopped. "You're right." She picked up the jewel that was lying on the floor. 'I guess I dropped this.' Pikachu jumped onto the ground.
Anny and Johnny had no idea what happened.
"I'm confused," Anny said.
"I'm more confused," Johnny argued.
"Whatever," Anny replied.
May charged at Suicune again.
"You wish to face me?" Suicune growled, jumping away from May.
"Drew, I need your help," May said.
Drew ran over to her, and placed his hand on the jewel.
"Lets do this," he began.
"Together," May finished.
They nodded, and ran towards Suicune. The beast growled, sending violent winds at the two teens. Not bothered by the wind, May and Drew continued to run towards Suicune.
"Feel my wrath," Suicune said, charging at them.
"This is our chance," Drew said.
"Lets take it." They ran forward not bothering to move out of the way. Suicune was about to crash into them, but they held the jewel in front of them. Suicune's head hit the jewel, causing the jewel to try and suck the North Wind into its depths. Growling in anger, Suicune tried to break free. It was no use. The jewel started to glow a darker shade of blue, making it look almost black.
The spirits of the 23 Dragonair appeared all around Suicune.
"It is time to end this war," one said.
"For the good of the world, you must come peacefully," another one added.
"We did not sacrifice our lives for nothing," a third one said.
"We win! We win! We win!" They all chanted.
Suicune backed up, but a Dragonair floated behind the beast.
"You're not going anywhere," it said, raising its cerulean tail into the air. It brought its tail down hard and hit Suicune in the back. The force of the hit knocked Suicune into the glowing jewel.
Suicune was quickly absorbed into the jewel.
"Thanks for the help, humans," a Dragonair said to May and Drew.
"Uh, no problem," Drew said.
"Now we must go," another said.
They all nodded, and disappeared into the jewel. It slowly floated to the ground, and May caught it.
"Drew, you have to tell me what happened now," May said.
"Fine," Drew sighed in defeat.
He explained to May what happened while Mew talked to Jirachi.
"Who sent you here?" Mew asked.
"Ho-Oh," Jirachi replied. "I must go now."
"I understand," Mew said. "Good-bye, dear friend."
"Good-bye, Mew. It was nice seeing you again. Meet me hear in 1000 years? Jirachi asked.
"Yes, my friend. I will," Mew replied as Jirachi flew into the night.
"WHAT?! I died?" May asked. Drew nodded.
"And you cried over me?" She asked. Drew nodded, blushing.
"Aw, you're the best, Drew," she hugged him, and they fell to the ground laughing.
"Great job, you two," Anny said, running to them.
"Pika," Pikachu jumped onto May's head.
"Amazing," was the only thing Johnny could say.
"You expected something less?" Drew asked flicking his hair.
"Well, you're becoming very normal," May said.
"Hard to be normal when the world is ending," Drew replied.
"I'm hungry!" May yelled.
Everyone looked at her like she was crazy.
"What? I haven't eaten in a day!" She said.
"Yes, we know," Anny smiled.
"Shall we get something to eat?" Johnny asked.
Everyone nodded, and May walked over to Mew.
"Are you coming?" May asked.
Mew was staring at the sky. "In a minute," she replied.
"Okay!" May skipped over to the others, and they all went looking for a restaurant.
Mew stared at the sky for exactly one minute, before deciding to follow the others to a restaurant.
