Author's Note: First, I'd like to apologize for my incompetence. I try, I really do, but I can never get the chapters done as fast I'd like to. It doesn't take that long to write a chapter, but my schedule is just so busy I can never find a minute to write! But I managed to get in Chapter 6!

Also, a big thanks to everyone kind enough to review my story! I appreciate it!

Bizarre Psyduck: Haha – you crack me up. I'm glad your so concerned about the shippings in my story! But, I don't like to give stuff away, so, hang in suspense for a little while, 'kay?

RAW19: Sorry, but I don't think I'll be including gym leaders besides Brock and Misty… really sorry.

John: You don't know who Drew his? He's the guy that competes with May in the pokémon contests. Did I read the question wrong?

Marill Tamer: Thanks so much! And I'm glad you like Drew so much!

Now, for the next chapter. I think it's a little more cluttered than the other chapters, but I dunno. It's probably one of the most shipping-heavy chapters in the story. I actually had a lot of fun writing it as I always do so I hope you like it, too.

Oh, and I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!

Disclaimer: I still do not own pokémon. Rub it in, will ya?

Common sense, as always, but read the other parts before this one!

Enjoy Chapter 6! So, here ya go:

Chapter 6

"Drew!" said May, surprised, "Is that you?"

"The one and only," he said, joining the group of hardened criminals. And Gary.

"I've never been so happy to see you!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah!" said Misty, rushing forward to meet the newcomer, "I'm Misty! Who are you? How ya doin'? And can we stay in your house?"

"Um…" said Drew, "I'm Drew… good… and uh… no."

"Nice to meet you!" said Misty, "Glad your well. And - dammit!"

"You can't swear on a children's show!" exclaimed Max.

"They wrote me off the show, anyway…" she said, solemnly.

"Why do you want to stay in my house?" asked Drew, bemused.

May sighed. "Well, Ash had his Pikachu electrocute these two people," she said swiftly, "But that's okay, because he thought they were someone else, but Officer Jenny didn't think so, so she put us in jail with Team Rocket and we dug out with spoons and now we're on the news and everyone's looking for us and we don't have anywhere to go!"

"Um…" said Drew, "What?"

"Let us use your house!" shouted May, grabbing him by the collar.

Drew shrugged. "Okay."

May let go of his shirt. "Really?"

"Why not?" said Drew, straightening his shirt.

"Oh, thanks a billion, Drew!" she said, throwing her arms around him. She froze, halfway though, realizing what she was doing and quickly let go. "Well, uh… Thanks."

"Oh," said Misty, with drawing comprehension, "Right… this is the guy your brother said you liked…"

May's mouth opened in horror. "Shut up, Misty," she said shoving her.

"What's wrong?" said Misty, "I thought you said he was gay…"

"Don't talk about people when they're standing right beside you, Misty!" she shouted, bringing her arm up to slap her.

"Who cares about Drew?" said Misty, easily grabbing May's hand before it could touch her, "You have Ash now."

May glared at her. "Jealous?" she whispered.

"Not even a little," said Misty, staring back at her.

Drew stared between the two of them, feeling more than a little uncomfortable.

"Let's go back to my house," said Drew.

Misty and May turned to him.

"Good idea," said Misty, "Let's go."

Drew turned and began his way back to his house, Misty and May following close behind, still staring daggers at each other.

"What in the world…" began Max, bewildered, "Was that about?"

"Pudding?" suggested Ash.

"I think we just witnessed a catfight…" said Brock.

Ash laughed. "A catfight? Over who?"

They stared at him.

"You're a dumb little twerp, aren't you?" said Jessie.

Ash stared.

"Oh, me!" he said, with drawing comprehension, "I thought I already picked May…"

"Maybe May would rather be with me," said James.

Ash considered this. "I don't really think so…"

James stared at him. "You want to arm wrestle for her?"

Ash paused. "Yeah, okay."

Jessie shook her head. "I think I'm better off with the twerps…" she said, running to join the group on the way to Drew's house, as James and Ash linked arms.

"Wait for me!" shouted Meowth, chasing after her,

"Us, too," said Brock, grabbing Pikachu, and he, Max, and Gary joined as well.

Later that Day…

The group made it to Drew's house, which, to their pleasant surprise, turned out to be a mansion. He had plenty of room and was surprisingly willing to let them all stay. Just as the group began to settle in, the door burst open to reveal our crusaders, Ash and James.

"So…" said Gary, approaching them, "Who won?"

James sighed. "He did."

"Whoa," said Max, "How'd that happen?"

"It's pokémon!" said Ash, "The bad guys can't win…"

Brock nodded.

"So, where is May anyway?" Ash asked.

"In the backyard," said Gary. "With Drew."

Ash froze. "With Drew?" he repeated.

Gary nodded.

Ash sighed and darted to the back door.

Gary laughed. "Ash… what a moron…" He spotted Misty in the corner, and approached her.

"Hey, Misty," he said.

Misty looked at him. "Hey, Gary."

"Listen," he said, sitting down beside her, "I'm sorry that I tried to make you go out with me… oh, and I'm sorry I got you thrown in jail."

Misty laughed. "It happens."

"Yeah," said Gary. "So you still want to go out with me?"

"No," said Misty.

Gary stared at her.

"I'm sorry, Gary, but you kinda blackmailed me… It doesn't seem right…"

Gary shook his head. "It's okay. I kinda expected that…"

"Are you gonna be okay?" asked Misty, concerned.

"Okay? Okay? I'll be better than okay!" said Gary, surprisingly cheerful, "I'm a comedian now. So, Misty. Tell me. why did the chicken---throw a clock out the window?"

"Uh… why?" asked Misty.

"To get to the other side!"

Misty stared. "Oh, oh! To get to the other--- ah ha, that's funny. That is f-u-n-n-y stuff." She forced another laugh.

Gary nodded. "I know. I'm getting good. Want to hear another joke?"

"Um…" said Misty, "Save it. So I can be surprised when I see you perform."

"Good idea!" said Gary, "You're a smart one. Well, see ya later, Misty."

"Yeah, bye," said Misty, as Gary departed.

Misty shook her head.

"Hey, Misty!" said Brock, "I'm going to the pokémon center to see Nurse Joy!"

"Brock, I swear," began Misty, "If you get us caught, I will kill you!"

"Okay, okay," said Brock. "Don't worry so much. I'll talk to you later." He waved a good-bye and walked out the door.

Meanwhile…

Drew and May were in the beautiful garden at Drew's mansion.

"So," said Drew, laughing, "That was funny what Misty said before, huh?"

"Um…" said May, "What was funny? The part where she made me look like an idiot or the part where she said you were gay?"

Drew paused. "Uh… the first part."

"Right," said May.

The two of them were so immersed in their awkward conversation that they failed to notice Ash open the door, come outside, and choose a cozy hiding spot behind the bushes.

"So, uh…" said Drew, "What is going on between you and Ash?"

"Me and Ash?" repeated May, "Well, he asked me out…"

"You tell him, May," Ash whispered from his hiding place.

Drew's face fell.

"But…" she continued, "I didn't say yes."

"You didn't?" repeated Drew, happily.

"Well, of course not," said May, shaking her head, "He's such a wannabe…"

"A wannabe?" Ash mouthed.

"It was kind of pathetic, actually…" said May, "He kept begging me, and begging me…"

"LIAR!" shouted Ash, emerging from his hiding place.

May froze. "Hey, Ash," she said, quietly, "So, um… how long you been standing there?"

"Long enough," he said bitterly.

"What were you doing over there, anyway?" asked Drew.

"I was… um… looking for my contact."

"You don't wear contacts!" said May.

"I was looking for Pikachu's contact!"

"Pikachu can't wear contacts!" shouted Drew.

"Yes, he can!" shouted Ash.

"Then where is Pikachu?" asked May.

"He's inside cuz he can't see without his contact!"

"That's the stupidest excuse---" began Drew.

"Fine!" said Ash, "I was watching you! Happy?"

"Watching?" questioned May.

"Spying!" snapped Ash. "And I heard what you said. And you know what? You don't like me. I think you're better off with Drew!"

"I think so, too!" said May.

"I wish you all the happiness in the world!" he shouted bitterly.

"Same to you!" shouted May.

"Fine!" said Ash, and he stormed inside.

"Fine!" said May, and she turned to Drew. "See what I mean?" she said, calmly, "He can be such a baby…"

Back Inside…

"I can't believe the twerp beat me…" said James.

"What's the big deal?" said Jessie. "All you lost was that little twerpy five-year old. It sounds like you were the real winner…"

"She was eleven…" said James.

"Jessie's right!" said Meowth, "Forget the twoip'! We should be worrying about stealing Pikachu!"

"But we have a truce…" said Jessie. "Besides, if we try to rob them they might not let us stay here…"

"Right…" said Meowth.

"Anyway, James," said Jessie, kindly, "You can do a lot better than that girl. A lot better…"

At the Pokémon Center…

Shaking with excitement, Brock entered the Pokémon Center with a bouquet of flowers and a big box of chocolates.

"Nurse Joy?" he called, "It's me ---- uh, Rock! I'm here---" He froze, mid-sentence, as he spotted Officer Jenny waiting.

"Um… hi," said Brock, uncertainly.

"You must be Rock!" said Officer Jenny, rushing forward and shaking his hand. "I'm Officer Jenny. Nurse Joy has told me soo much about you."

Brock chuckled, nervously. "All good things, I hope."

Officer Jenny laughed. "All good things so far." She lowered her voice, "By the way, you don't have any idea where your brother might be hiding, do you?"

Brock paused. "Actually, I heard he might be in Sweden."

"Sweden?" repeated Officer Jenny. "I'll have to get some people there. Michigan, right?"

"Um… Canada," said Brock.

"Oh…" said Officer Jenny, "That Sweden. I'll send some people up there as soon as I can. Don't worry, Rock, we'll have those people behind bars any day now."

Brock nodded uncertainly. He turned to set his flowers on the table and tripped over his own feet, stumbling to the ground and taking Nurse Joy down with him. He fell to the ground with a thump, and felt Officer Jenny land on top of him. Before they could get out of this uncomfortable position, the door burst open and Nurse Joy entered. She froze, gazing at the scene in front of her.

This looks bad… thought Nurse Joy.

This must look bad… thought Brock.

"This must look really bad," said Officer Jenny, getting to her feet.

"It's not what it looks like!" said Brock, getting up, as well.

"Oh, Rock," said Nurse Joy, shaking her head, "How could you?"

"I didn't do anything!" shouted Brock, "I just fell---"

"For Officer Jenny?" finished Nurse Joy, accusingly. "How dare you lead me on like that?" She rushed up to him slapped him across the face.

"I don't like Officer Jenny!" he said, massaging his sore cheek.

"What? I'm not good enough for you?" said Officer Jenny, slapping the other side of his face.

"I AM SO CONFUSED!" shouted Brock.

"Get out of here," said Nurse Joy, disgusted, "You make me sick."

Brock shrugged. "Okay."

He turned around and walked away. It was just too good to be true…

"What a weirdo…" said Nurse Joy to Officer Jenny.

Officer Jenny shrugged.

Back at Drew's Mansion…

Misty sat alone in the corner, still deep in thought, as May rushed over to her.

"Misty!" she exclaimed, "You'll never believe what happened!"

"Drew keeps a lot of cheese in his fridge?" she suggested, unenthusiastically.

"Better!" said May, "Drew told me he liked me!"

"What?" said Misty, gaining interest.

"Yeah! I'm so excited!"

"That's awesome!" said Misty. "So… does Ash know?"

"Yeah. He, uh… didn't seem to mind."

"Hmm…" said Misty.

"He's free now," said May. "You gonna talk to him?"

"Maybe I will…"

Misty made her way to the room that Ash was staying in. She took a deep breath and opened the door. Nothing could have prepared her for what she saw when she did. Ash and--- Gary?

"Oh… My… God…" she managed to say.

To Be Continued…

Author's Note: Hoping I didn't freak too many people out with the ending I REALLY want to see how people react to this chapter – so I beg of you – write a review. They make me ever so happy. I don't know if this surprised anyone… but I had to throw this shipping in there, seeing as it is so popular. If you're genuinely worried about it, I'll tell you right now, it's not going to last, but… I've said too much.

By the way, for those of you who didn't notice – I combined the jokes 'Why did the chicken throw the clock out the window?' 'So he could see time fly!' and 'Why did the chicken cross the road?' 'To get to the other side!' Yeah. Just so you know.

Please Review!

Thanks for reading!
