Chapter 14: Woop-Dee-Doo for Drew

~(o'-'o)~

Everyone, let me introduce my new friend: Mr. Writer's Block. He's been hanging around for a while.

Sooooo, it's been a bit longer than normal, my excuse is I went on vacation (again) and then our car broke down, and when I finally got home I procrastinated. But hey, you know the old saying, "procrastination makes perfect." Honestly, I finishes the chapter a while ago, I just had to sit down and take take to correct it, and I found this one part that I didn't like the wording because I was afraid you readers might not understand what I meant, and you still might not completely understand what I mean there, so my apologies.

Enough of my ranting, this chapter will feature fights! Jigglypuffs! Ninjas! EXPLOSIONS!

Okay not really, don't worry there aren't REALLY Jigglypuffs in this chapter, and hopefully not in this story. So yeah, I hope you enjoy my new update, and hope that you'll stick around for the next chapter.

I don't own anything but the shirt on my back (and my pants for that matter)

~(o'-'o)~

May's POV

"Long time no see..." Ash said.

"Drew? What are you doing here?" I asked confusedly.

"Dawn invited me, didn't she tell you?" Drew asked.

"Woops, must have slipped my mind..." Dawn said rubbing her left arm, Drew didn't even glance at Dawn.

"You came all this way?" Ash asked, Drew shrugged.

"I was in Johto anyways..." he said before looking at me.

Oh, no... I thought, It's happening all over again... the last thing I needed was this, assuming that he still had a crush on me.

"So May, how many Johto ribbons do you have?" Drew asked.

"Two..." I said quietly, I would have had more if not for Dawn.

"Hmph," Drew snickered, flicking his green hair.

"Drew, you probably want some alone time with May, you know... To catch up," Dawn said.

"Yeah, there was something I needed to talk to May about anyways," Drew said, "Come on May," He began to walk away. What? I don't get a choice in this? I couldn't really refuse now, so I followed Drew.

"Dawn... So are so dead," I said user my breath as we walked away.

~(o'-'o)~

Ash's POV

May disappeared off in the distance with Drew, leaving me with Dawn and my Pokémon.

"Rii?" I looked down at the Riolu tugging at my pants, who appeared to be bored.

"What should we do now?" Dawn asked.

"Um... There really isn't that much to do here..." I told her, "But there is a huge lake north of town..."

"Oh! We can go swimming!" Dawn giggled happily.

"If that's what you want to do..." I said, the second Riolu heard the word swimming, he dashed down the path.

"Wait! Riolu, you're going the wrong way!" I called out, he stopped in his tracks, spun on his heals and dashed past us again, this time in the right direction. Dawn laughed and ran after him, I let out a laugh myself and chased after them with Pikachu and Gengar hot on my heals.

The lake wasn't hard to find, it took up most of the forest. Pikachu, Gengar, and Riolu hopped into the water as soon as is was in reach. Dawn gazed at the huge lake in amazement.

"It's... So beautiful..." she said quietly.

"PikaPi!" Pikachu called out from the lake.

"I'm coming Pikachu!" I changed into my bathing suit and jumped into the lake with a splash.

"Totodile, Gible! Come on out!" I shouted tossing my Pokéballs into the air. Totodile dove into the water with Gible, both happy to relax after some tough training.

Dawn finally joined us in the cool water, letting out her Pokémon as well.

"To bad May and Drew aren't here," I said.

"Yeah..." Dawn said quietly, not paying much attention to what I really said.

"By the way Dawn, why did you invite Drew? Do you two know each other?" I asked, as far as I knew, Drew and Dawn had never met.

"Oh, haha, well... You see... I um... Wanted to... Eh... Surprise May... Yeah... That's it..." She said.

"Is that why you didn't tell anyone?" I asked, she nodded. I looked at Pikachu, who shrugged. "That's really nice of you Dawn, it's great to see that you and May have finally put your rivalries aside," I said, smiling at her.

"Yep, you shouldn't have to worry about that anymore," she said nervously.

~(o'-'o)~

May's POV

When I get my hands on Dawn... She is going to regret the day she was born! I shouted in my mind. I couldn't stand it, Drew and I weren't "catching up" like we were supposed to, we just walked in an awkward silence. What was I supposed to tell him? There wasn't much to say. Why couldn't he start up a conversation?

"May... There's something serious that I want to talk to you about..." Drew said.

Me and my big fat mouth...

I knew where this was going, and I didn't feel like talking about it with Drew at that moment.

"Okay Drew, but you have to catch me first!" I said playfully. dashing ahead of him.

"May! Wait!" Drew shouted. I just ran, I had no destination; I just shot down the path, where ever that would take me. I started going down a slope, picking up speed, I was breathing heavily and beginning to sweat. My foot hit a rock sticking up out of the road, causing me to lose my footing and fall over. But of course, I had been going down a slope when I tripped, so I flew through the air and began to roll down to hill uncontrollably, screaming the whole way down.

Suddenly, I ground disappeared from under me and I became weightless: I was falling. I let out another scream before I felling into cool water. Water flew into my mouth and down my throat, I couldn't breath. I struggled a little before I started losing consciousness, I felt a set of hands and a set of little hands firmly grab me under my arms, then I blacked out.

~(o'-'o)~

Ash's POV

Dawn and I were playing with our Pokémon, enjoying ourselves in the quiet forest, until the silence was broken by a loud scream. A flock of Pidgey, who were startled by the ear piercing scream flew out of a nearby tree and flew away.

"Look!" Dawn shouted, pointing behind me. I turned around just in time to see May tumbling down a hill, which ended abruptly off a ledge. May flew off the ledge and into the lake with a splash. Everyone swam over to where May landed, Totodile and I dove under water and quickly grabbed May, who was slowly sinking deeper and pulled her above the water. With the help of Dawn, Piplup, and Totodile, we dragged May to shore.

"Ash, May isn't breathing," Dawn said, sounding worried. I looked at her.

"What do we do?" I asked.

"Do you know CPR?" she asked, I shook my head.

"Nobody else is around!" I started to panic. I had never lost a friend on my journey, what could I do?

"I know CPR," I heard. I looked around, and saw Drew standing on the edge of the ledge May had just fallen off of. He hopped off and hurried over to her, kneeling by her side. He began to forcefully push on May's chest.

"What are you doing? That could hurt her!" I shouted as I advanced. Dawn grabbed my arm.

"It's part of the procedure, Ash!" She said, holding me back, I relaxed a little bit. Suddenly, May spit up a ton of water, before returning to her motionless state. Drew stopped pushing down, and lowered his head to her chest, resting an ear on her torso, while laying two fingers on her wrist.

"I have to give her air," Drew said uneasily.

"Uh... How do you do tha-" I began to ask. But immediately stopped and Drew opened May mouth and covered it with his own. His cheeks, puffing in and out as he forced air into May lungs.

May eyes shot open before she gave Drew a hard slap across the face, knocking Drew over. She began coughed crazily, trying to speak.

"Drew! *cough* you have *cough* *cough* some nerves *cough* kissing *cough* *cough* like that! *cough* *cough* *cough*" she managed before shoving Drew into the lake, before approaching him menacingly.

"May! Wait!" I shouted, grabbing her and holding her back, "Drew was saving your life!"

She turned and looked at me, her eyes burning with passion, "Was he? Or was he taking advantage of me while I was unconscious?" she said sarcastically.

"Um... He was definitely saving you. You weren't breathing so he was doing CPR on you..." I told her. She began to relax.

"Oh..." she said, "Woops..." she walked over to where Drew was laying into the shallow water, she gave him a hand and pulled him up.

"T-thanks... Drew," She said sheepishly, and hugged him. Drew seemed a little caught off guard, but returned the hug.

"Awwwww, how cute!" Dawn said, "you two go great together!" Drew blushed, while May shot Dawn a glare, it looked like she mouthed something to Dawn, which Drew didn't notice. The Pokémon and I just watched.

"Am I missing something?" I said, causing Pikachu to face palm.

"May, can we talk in private?" Drew asked, suddenly, my stomach let out a growl.

"Oh! Looks like it's time for lunch!" May said, quickly, she started running down the path back towards town. Drew sweat-dropped and followed May, followed by Dawn, our Pokémon, and I.

After a bit of a run, we reached to Pokémon Center, where lunch awaited us. We walked in and sat down at a table, Dawn and I on one side, May and Drew on the other, while my Pokémon made themselves comfortable on the ground.

"So I hear there's a contest going on tomorrow," Drew said.

"Yep," Dawn said, "And I plan on winning it!"

"Hmph, good luck, you'll have to get through me first!" Drew stated.

"WHAT?" Both May and Dawn said together, standing up and knocking over their chairs.

"How come?" May asked.

"Why not? It just another ribbon to add to my collection," Drew said plainly.

"Oh man, this is going to be awesome!" I said, "May, Dawn, AND Drew in one contest! We're going to see some great battles!"

"Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed happily.

"Ri!"

"Gengar!"

~(o'-'o)~

May's POV

Ugh, there's nothing worse than having Butterfrees in your stomach, it's so unsettling, and the last thing I needed before a contest like this. Normally, I wouldn't be worried at all, I am above average when it comes to coordinating, Ash would back me up on that. But today... Today was different. I was going up against not one, but TWO rivals. Both who are powerful and have been able to beat me before.

Normally I was strong willed and confident, but now I have been brought down to a nothing but a nervous wreck pacing back and forth in the dressing room. So what did I normally do if I was nervous like this?

I'd go to Ash.

I found the Pokémon Trainer standing in the hallway with his Pokémon talking with another trainer. He and the stranger laughed before the other trainer walked away. I walked over to Ash, and put a confident smile on my face.

"Hey May, ready for the contest, you got some tough battles today..." He said, my smile disappeared.

"Y-yeah... I know..." I mumbled. Ash tilted his head to the side.

"Are you okay?" He asked, I don't know way made me do it, but I threw myself at him, and wrapped my arms firmly around his torso.

"I-I don't know what to do! I'm so nervous!" I said, holding onto him even tighter, he seemed to have froze, but his muscles quickly loosened as he also wrapped his arms around me.

"May, don't worry about it. Even if you don't win, you'll always be a great coordinator in my book," He said. His body shook a little as Pikachu climbed up his leg, onto his shoulders, the yellow mouse put a warm smile on his face and gave me a peace sign. Gengar floated onto Ash's shoulder as well, with a big comforting grin on his face. I felt a tug on the dress I was wearing, I looked down and found Riolu looking up at me, giving me a thumbs up. I picked up the fighting type and smiled.

"Thanks you guys... You're the best."

~(o'-'o)~

Ash's POV

"The first coordinator for the Appeal Round is... May, from Petalburg City!" The MC shouted enthusiastically, the crowd roared with applause. May ran out a let out her Bayleaf.

"Bayleaf! Razor Leaf!" May shouted. Bayleaf shot the razor sharp leaves that came from seemingly nowhere.

"Now use vine whip on them gently!" May commanded. Bayleaf's whips gently snapped at the spinning leaves, causing them ricocheted in random directions, before bursting apart and sparkling everywhere.

"Outstanding! Bayleaf gave a display of beauty and grace, without moving from her place on the stage!" the MC announced.

"Amazing, a great come back for May," Mr. Contesta said.

"Remarkable."

"It's great to see she's taking good care of her Pokémon, I thank her for an excellent show," Nurse Joy said.

Other Coordinators went up as well, showing off the beauty of their Pokémon. Drew went up with his Flygon, making shapes with dragon breath. The whole time I didn't even notice the person sitting next to me, until he spoke up.

"The green haired kid doesn't seem like all they cracked him up to be," I heard, I turned to my right and found Paul leaning back, hands behind his head.

"Paul? What are you doing here?" I asked. The purple hair trainer looked over at me.

"Thought that I could maybe learn a thing or two while I watched, but so far I've been pretty disappointed," he said, I gave him a questioning look.

"Is that all?" I asked, there was a long pause...

"Yes," he said finally, although I didn't quite believe him, I dropped the subject.

"So Drew didn't impress you?" I asked.

"No, his performance was something a five year old could do, it lacked creativity and most importantly... Power," he said.

"Contests aren't all about power," I told him, Paul shrugged.

"You can't win anything without power," he said, "From the looks of him, he relies almost completely on strategy to take out his opponents slowly, if you hit him with a few powerful attacks, he's out..."

I looked back at the stage Dawn was out on the stage with Piplup.

"Okay Piplup, Whirlpool!" Dawn said, a huge water tornado erupted from Piplup's tiny beak.

"Now Bubble Beam!" Dawn shouted. Piplup's whirlpool continued on as the blue Pokémon shot bubbled into it, the bubbles spun around wildly.

"Now Peck!" Piplup's beak grew as he jabbed into the whirl pool, causing an explosion. Bubbles flew everywhere is every direction, before erupting like fireworks.

"So what did you think of that?" I asked, turning to Paul. His mouth was slightly open and his eyes wide. Pikachu waved his hand in front of Paul's face, causing him to snap out of his trance.

"Hu? What?" He asked, blinking a few times.

"So what did you think of Dawn's?" I asked him.

"I-it was o-okay," He said, I knew he was impressed, but he had too much pride to admit it.

"The Coordinators that will continue to the next round will appear on the screen," The MC said. I held my breath as the different faces appeared. Drew's face lit up, May's... And Dawn's appeared shortly after, Paul let of a sigh.

"What?" I asked, looking at him.

"What?" He asked back, confused.

"The sigh, what was that about?" I asked.

"What? Do I not have the right to breathe?" he asked.

"No, it's just that-"

"And here are the pairs!" The Announcer said, "Our first battle will be Dawn vs Drew!"

"Here we go," I said. Dawn and Drew got on stage, determined looks on their face.

"AND... BEGIN!" The bell sounded.

"Mamoswine! Spotlight!" Dawn threw her Pokéball into the air, releasing the large ice type.

"Flygon! Let's go!" Drew said.

"Now why would he do that?" Paul asked, "Mamoswine clearly has a huge advantage over Flygon!"

"Let's use Ice Shard!" Dawn said. Mamoswine shot out shards of ice at the ground/dragon type.

"Dodge it and use steel wing!" Drew shouted. Flygon completely evaded the attack and charged at Mamoswine, it's wings glowing like metal.

"Try to dodge!" Dawn told him. Manoswine rolled out of the way.

"Take a u-turn and hit try to hit again!" Drew said. Flygon took a sharp turn and slammed into Mamoswine. Dawn's points took a dive.

"Sandstorm!" Drew shouted. A huge sandstorm began to brew, it looked like Dawn shouted something, but I couldn't tell what.

"What did she say?" Paul asked, I could only shrug. The sandstorm dyed down, and the field was empty!

"Where did Mamoswine go?" I asked myself. Then it became clear, a huge hole laid in the ground.

"It used Dig to avoid the attack," Paul concluded. Flygon flew to the entrance of the hole, and stuck its head inside, just to be hit by an Ice Shard attack.

"Take Down Mamoswine!" Dawn shouted. Mamoswine shot out of the hole, and into the already dazed Flygon. By now, the points Dawn had lost from missing and taking hits were now even with Drew's.

"Flame Thrower!" Drew shouted.

"Uh ho..." Paul said. Flames erupted from Flygon's mouth, surrounding Mamoswine, who eyes were clenched shut.

"Take Down!" Dawn shouted again. Mamoswine's eye snapped open as he charged right through the flames, right into Flygon. Drew's Pokémon flew backwards, and hit the ground hard.

"This isn't over yet! Flygon! Steel wing!" The dragon flew at Mamoswine, "Now flame Thrower!" the Flygon lit up its body up as fire enveloped it. It looked like a comet as it slammed into Mamoswine with incredible force. The ice type flew backwards and into a wall, knocking it out.

"Mamoswine is unable to battle, Drew wins!" The crowd roared with applause. Dawn sadly returned Mamoswine, and disappeared after walking through the door.

"Man... That's too bad," I said, looking at Paul, who didn't say anything, he just stood up and left.

"Where are you going?" I asked him.

"Somewhere that's not here," he said, I sighed, typical Paul. Dawn walked over to where I was sitting with my Pokémon.

"Is this seat taken?" She asked, pointing to were Paul was sitting.

I shook my head, "Not anymore," Dawn sighed and sat down.

"Don't feel bad about losing," I told her.

"Yeah, I know, I'm used to it..." She said glumly.

I wrapped my arm around her shoulder, "Hey, you'll always be a winner in my book."

~(o'-'o)~

Ash's POV

After Drew and Dawn's battle, May easily bested the other coordinator in that round, and it was one to the finals: May vs Drew.

"This is going to be intense," I said, Dawn nodded in agreement.

"Let the match begin!"

Drew flicked his green hair as he pulled out his Pokéball, "Roserade, come out!" he shouted tossing it into the air.

"He probably got a strategy up his sleeve," I said, "He thinks May will pick Blaziken due to the type advantage."

But May didn't even reach for a Pokéball, "Okay then..." She said, "I choose Gengar!"

"Gen?" Gengar's ears perked up upon hearing his name.

At first I wasn't sure what to do, was Gengar ready? He did fine in the last Conest he participated in. "Go on Gengar, May needs you," I told him. He leapt into the air flipping twice, and slammed into the ground with a Thunder Punch. Drew seemed to be surprised.

"So you got a Gengar, hu?" he asked.

"No," May replies, "I'm borrowing Ash's." Drew twitched.

"Be careful Roserade..." Drew said, "Gengars are powerful opponents."

"That's right!" May said, "Gengar, Shadow Ball!" The dark ball formed in front of Gengar, then launched forward at Roserade.

"Dodge!" Drew shouted, Roserade sprang into the air, jumping above the Shadow Ball.

"Double Team," May said, Gengar's flew all over the stage.

"Razor leaf on all of them!" Drew said. Leaves flew all over the stage, the fake Gengar's disappeared.

"She's going to use your strategy!" Dawn said, I nodded.

"Sleep Powder!" The green hair coordinator shouted.

"Shadow Ball!" May commanded. Shiny orange dust floated around the Gengar, it fell over and disappeared.

"Uh oh," Drew said, a Shadow Ball from the real Gengar flew down from above Roserade, slamming into him, Drew's points took a dive.

"Roserade, Sleep Powder into the sky!" Drew said, the powder rose above the Grass/Poison types head. Gengar appeared and fell to the ground with a thump, fast asleep.

"Gengar! Wake up!" May shouted, Gengar didn't budge.

"Roserade, use Solar Beam," Drew said calmly. Roserade charged up a Solar Beam, all the while May begging Gengar to wake up.

"Now!" Drew shouted, pointing to Gengar. The entire stadium lit up as the blast shot at Gengar. The beam disappeared, the dust settled, to reveal Gengar laying in a crater, badly bruised, still asleep.

"But how is it not knocked out?" Drew asked, amazed.

"It's a trainer's Pokémon, so it'll have higher defense than a coordinator's," May said, raising a finger, Drew snickered.

"Doesn't, matter, he's still asleep and completely helpless," Drew said, May's turned a little pale, "Razor Leaf," Drew said, snapping his fingers. Roserade held his's arms out as yet more leaves shot at Gengar.

"Gengar! Please wake up!" May shouted desperately.

"Come on Gengar, get up!" I shouted. The grass attack stopped, there was a dramatic pause. Suddenly, one of Gengar's eye's opened.

"WHAT?" Drew shouted.

"Amazing!" the MC shouted, "Despite the harsh attacks, Gengar's still up! What will it take to knock this Ghost and Poison Pokémon out?"

"Great!" May shouted, "Gengar! Shadow Ball!"

"Side step," Drew said, sounding a little frustrated. Roserade stepped out of the way of the attack just in time to avoid the dark ball.

"Just keep shooting Shadow Balls" May said.

"Evasive maneuvers!" Drew shouted. A wall of Shadow Balls flew at Roserade, who jumped, rolled, and ducked to avoid the attack. Gengar was breathing heavily now.

Dawn took a glance at the score board, "May has some catching up to do..." she said.

"She won't give up," I told her, "But that's a fast Roserade, if she uses Shadow Punch, it's a sure hit, but does she know that?"

"Shadow Punch!" May shouted.

"Yep, she knew that, or it was just a random choice," Dawn said. The dark fist flew through the air at Roserade, who side stepped it, the fist made a u-turn and headed at Roserade, hitting it hard, and knocking it over.

"Now it's time to regain some energy!" May said, "Gengar, use Hypnosis!" the Shadow Pokémon eye's glowed as he put the Roserade who was struggling to get up to sleep.

"Dream Eater!" May said. Gengar flew at Roserade and "ate" his dream, not only giving damage but restoring some of his own.

"Roserade! Wake up!" Drew said. The Roserade shook his head and slowly got up, his legs wobbling, as well as Gengars.

"The next attack to hit will end the match," I said, "both of them are too tired to keep going, it's a do or die now."

"Magical Leaf!"

"Shadow Punch!"

The two attaks flew at each other, the Shadow Punch past right through the magic leaves. The attacks hit their marks at the exact same time, and dust flew everywhere. After a minute, the dust settled and both Pokémon were barley standing.

"Whoa..." Dawn marveled.

"Piiiikaaa..." Pikachu added.

Both the Pokémon stared at each other, wobbling and shaking back in forth.

"Come on come on come one come on! You can do this Gengar..." I said quietly. The stadium was silent, everyone held their breath. The score was tied, whoever fell first would determine the winner.

Gengar fell forward.

The Shadow Pokémon fell to one knee, eyes tightly shut and right hand on the ground, struggling to stay conscious.

*Thud*

"Roserade is out!" The MC announced, "He barley made it, but Gengar took out Roserade!" the crowd roared with applause.

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed happily.

"Ri!" Riolu's face lit up as he caught on to what was going on.

"She beat him," Dawn said.

"Yep," I said, "she beat Drew."

~(o'-'o)~

May's POV

I didn't realize that I had been holding my breath until I saw Gengar fall forward, letting out a gasp, covering my mouth with my hands. He fell to his knee, was that considered knocked out? It must not have, because nobody said anything. Suddenly, Drew's Roserade fell forward, flat on his face. The crowd roared with applause as the MC announced I had won.

"I beat Drew!" I said to myself. I ran over to Gengar, and pulled him into a hug just as he was about to fall over.

"Thank you Gengar, you were amazing!" I told him.

"Gen!" he said happily, but wearily. Drew walked over to were we where and returned Roserade.

He turned to me with a grin on his face, "I knew Gengars were strong," He said. I stood up and faced him, sticking my hand out for a handshake.

"You fought a good fight," I told him, suddenly, the MC walked in-between us, a ribbon in her hand.

"Great job May, I'm honored to present you with this ribbon!" She said, handing the ribbon to me. She spun on her heels and walked away, leaving Drew and I alone on stage, Gengar had floated back to Ash.

"May, can we talk in private somewhere, I need to ask you something," Drew said.

Oh no, I thought, "Uh, maybe I should go find my friends," I said, starting to walk away. He grabbed my wrist and looked into my eyes.

"Please?" He asked, I sighed, I had to deal with this sooner or later.

"Okay, sure," I said in defeat, we ran out of the Contest Hall by ourselves, leaving Ash and Dawn behind.

~(o'-'o)~

Dawn's POV

I watched as I sat next to Ash as May was presented the ribbon, and then she ran off with Drew.

"Well that was weird," Ash said, "May just ran off with Drew."

"Maybe their catching up some more," I said. I wondered if my plan had worked, I knew there was something stronger than just a rivalry between May and Drew. If she goes off with him, I'd get Ash to myself.

"I smell something Quilfishy," Ash said snapping me out of my thoughts. "Let's go find them," he said standing up and running off.

"Ash! Wait!" I shouted, following after him.

~(o'-'o)~

May's POV

Drew and I where walking through the woods, wandering deeper and deeper into it, no turning back now, might as well get this over with.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked. Drew didn't answer immediately; he simply stared at the ground as he walked.

"Have you ever been in love?" He finally asked. Dang it, I knew the conversation would go in that direction.

"Um... Yes," I said, I wasn't going to lie, but I wasn't looking forward to how this would turn out.

"Well," Drew said, "let's say you weren't together with the person you liked, what would you like him to do to admit he liked you?" Great so he was asking for my advice, and he would probably try what I told him on me later on.

I sighed, "Well, I'd want him to take me somewhere quiet, like the beach, to gaze at the stars..." I told him.

He nodded, "Yeah, I like it, easy, simple, not over doing it..."

"Who's the girl?" I asked, I just wanted to get this over with, rather than reject him later.

"Well... She loves Pokémon."

Mmhmm

"She's caring and never gives up."

How sweet.

"She loves to travel."

You look for that in a girl?

"She's got brown hair and ocean blue eyes."

Oh man... Here it comes.

"Her name is Lyra, you've probably never met her."

I stopped dead in my tracks, Drew turned to face me, a confused look on his face.

"What?" He asked.

"N-nothing, just surprised me," I told him. A smirk crawled across his face.

"You though I liked you?" he asked crossing his arms.

"Y-yeah..." I told him.

His smirk grew bigger, "I've moved on, besides, I know you like Ketchum."

"How did you know?" I asked.

"It's pretty obvious," He said, I sighed.

"I've been hearing that a lot," I told him, Drew's smirk turning into a normal smile.

"Don't worry about, Ash's denser than a rock," he assured me.

I rolled my eyes and sighed, "Yeah, I know."

*Snap*

"Hey, did you hear that?" Drew asked, looking around.

"Yeah, it was probably just a Pokémon," I told him.

"Grrrrrrrr," We heard, I took a step back.

"An angry Pokémon..." I said, stepping closer to Drew. The bushes next to us suddenly caught on fire, the Legendary Beast of fire leapt out from behind them.

"Entei..." Drew said, "Stand back May, I'm gonna catch this thing," he pulled out Pokéball.

"Drew wait! It's wild!" I shouted. Drew advanced toward the legendary, causing it to growled angrily. Suddenly, it lunged toward Drew smacking him in the head. Drew flew to the side and smacked into a tree, falling over unconscious.

"Drew!" I shouted running over to him, and kneeling down beside him. Entei growled and advanced towards us.

"S-s-st-stay-stay back!" I stuttered in horror. I froze in fear; I couldn't even reach for a Pokéball.

"Draco Meteor!" I heard someone shout. An orange ball shot into the sky and blew up. And the meteors fell to the ground, causing the earth to shake. Entei turned and ran away. Soon, I could see Ash and Dawn, Along with Pikachu, Riolu, Gengar, and Gible, running down the path towards Drew and I.

"What happened?" Ash said, kneeling down on the other side of Drew.

"Entei tried t-to attack us and- and..." I tried saying, but I gave up and leaned over on Ash as I whimpered, he wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"It's okay now May..." he said, "It's okay..."

~(o'-'o)~

May's POV

Drew ended up being okay, thank goodness, and ended up with nothing but a headache. He left the next day, probably back to see Lyra. Dawn appeared to be confused as to why we weren't together, I could only chuckle to myself, in your face Dawn!

Now we all sat in the Pokémon Center wondering were to go next.

"Maybe we should call Scott," Ash suggested.

"Ugh, if I have to talk to that fat stupid receptionist again, count me out!" Dawn said.

"Well, I don't think we have any other choice," I said, "We should probably call Scott."

"No need to," we heard the head of the Battle Frontier say as he walked into the lobby.

"Scott, how do you get around so easily?" Ash asked.

"I'll have to show you sometime," he said, "but I'm guessing that you probably want to know where the next Battle Facility is, don't you?"

"You bet!" Ash said excitedly jumping from his seat.

"Well," Scott said, "The next facility is called the Battle Arcade, you can find it on the other side of the Lake of Rage, the lake north of town."

"We were there the other day and we didn't see it?" Dawn said, Scott let out a chuckle.

"I didn't say it was completely exposed," he said, and with that, he said goodbye and left.

"Well, we know were we are going next!" Ash said before running out the Pokémon Center. I soon found myself walking down the path behind Ash, who was coming up with strategies with his Pokémon, I glanced over at Dawn who was to the left of me. I got closer to her before wrapping my left arm around her shoulder, making her jump a little.

"May, you startled me!" She said, sounding slightly nervous.

"I think it's time to have a little talk," I told her, she gulped. "Now, I know that sending Drew over here and acting nice was all just a little plan you came up with." I said through my teeth.

"What? I don't know what you talking about!" Dawn tried to say, completely avoiding eye contact.

"You're not a very good lier," I told her, "I'd just like to inform you that your plan didn't work." I said in a matter-a-fact tone.

"I just was trying to handle this rival thing in a nicer way," Dawn said, I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah right, I don't think it's possible for you to be nice," I said.

"Well if it's such a problem, why don't you leave?"

"Because I can't let Ash live the rest of his life with someone as horrible as you!"

"At least that's better than what you'd ever be!" We had completely stopped walking now and were having a stare down.

"Better than what I'd be?" I asked, "I bet Ash wouldn't be able to stand be alone with you for even 24 hours!"

"Well why don't we put that to the test?" Dawn smirked, she spun on her heels and began walking again.

"Oh no you don't!" I shouted and ran past her, as I sped down the path.

"Hey!" She shouted and began running after me. I craned my head behind to see how close she was, and saw her eyes grow wide. I turned back just in time to see Ash in front if me before crashing into him. Riolu and Pikachu fell off his shoulders and he turned to face me.

"What-?" He began, but I felt Dawn crash into me causing both of us to topple over on top of Ash.

"Ouch..." He let out. Pikachu sweat-dropped, but Gengar and Riolu found the sight quite funny, laughing at us.

"Hehe, oops." Dawn said as she got up off me allowing me to get up off of Ash also. He dusted himself off and let out a cough. Riolu and Pikachu quickly got back on Ash's shoulders.

"Sorry Ash," I said, but he started laughing, and soon I couldn't help but laugh as well, joined by Dawn.

"That would have made a great picture," Ash said, wiping a tear from his eye as he continued to chuckle, I smiled as I thought about how silly we must have looked, no wonder Gengar and Riolu had been laughing.

"Now let's go, I got a Frontier Battle to win!" he said, raising his fist in the air, he turned around and began sprinting down the path.

~(o'-'o)~

Yeeeeeaaaaaah, so I lied, I chose the person you guys guessed the most, I actually started writing this chapter with Misty, and about 500 words into I was like "What am I doing?" don't worry, it was good for the story, but I want to have Misty in the story, so if you got any good ideas of how I can stick her in that would be cool.

Like always, thank you all the people who have read and especially those who reviewed, keep those coming because I need it to fuel my body and and keep me alive. I appreciate you all and don't let anyone say that I don't.

Peace off, Gengar out.
