Chapter 1: It's That Face Again! Rival's Reunion PG 13

The rain seemed to get smaller, but it was still dazzling outside. It was another beautiful morning. The branches of the trees were gently dancing as the soft breeze pushed them. The tiny water drops fell from the trees and dripped onto sleeping May's face. May's hand touched her face trying to wipe away the water. She then slowly opened her eyes. It was evident that she cried last night, because her eyes were red. May stretched her upper body and yawned. She soon realized that the rain was still going. She could see that the pouring water last night washed away dust and leaves on the ground. She wanted to reach in her bag, but noticed that her clothes were all soaked. They stuck on May's body and she didn't feel very comfortable. May stood up and tried to walk around, but she found out that she was not feeling well.

"Ouch, my head! It hurts so much." May groaned.

She walked a few steps forward and leaned against another big tree. She realized that she was so weak she could hardly walk.

May coughed and said," Oh man, I feel really sick."

May slid and moaned hoping someone would appear to help her. She was very disappointed that nobody actually came out to look for her.

"Ash, where are you?" May sighed.

Meanwhile, Ash and others just woke up from their sleep. He went out and knocked on May's bedroom door.

Caroline came up and saw Ash," Good morning, Ash! Oh dear, May still hasn't returned yet? Could anything have happened to her?"

"Morning, Caroline! What did you say? May still didn't come back? That doesn't sound good. I better go and look for her." Ash said while sounding worried.

"That's really sweet of you, but I don't think it's needed. You and others have to get enough rest, so you will have the energy to travel to the new region. Norman and I will go out and look for her." Caroline grinned, "I am sure you are very hungry, Ash. The breakfast is ready in the dining room."

"Thanks, Caroline! I just hope May will be alright," Ash responded.

May was still leaning against the tree. The rain ceased which was somehow a good thing. She once again reached into her bag. This time, she took out a PokeBall and threw in on the ground.

"Come on out, Beautifly!" May called.

Her grey butterfly-liked Pokemon popped out from the PokeBall. It made a quiet cry and then flew to where May was. It looked worried.

"Beautifly, I want you to go out and look for some help. If you find anyone, please come back and tell me so!" May weakly ordered her Pokemon.

Beautifly understood how May felt at the moment, so it quickly nodded and flew away.

"Come back soon!" May yelled.

Beautifly swirled around in the sky. The wood was bigger than it expected. It was trying its best, but couldn't find anyone near. Beautifly flew further and saw nothing but some wild Pokemon. Suddenly, it heard a faint, but a familiar Pokemon sound nearby. Beautifly flew there and saw a green-haired boy training his Masquerain. It was Drew. Beautifly was happy to see him, because it knew Drew would help May out even if he was May's Pokemon Contest Rival. It didn't go and talk to him; instead, it made a loud cry. After, it decided to head back to tell May the good news. Who would know that Masquerain actually heard and recognized the sound? It didn't tell Drew anything, but just flew toward where Beautifly was.

"Masquerain, what's up? What did you see?" Drew asked.

Drew ran toward his Pokemon and it didn't turn back. Drew knew that it was chasing after something, but he just didn't know what. He followed his Pokemon and saw Beautifly from afar.

"It's a Beautifly. Is that what you were chasing after, Masquerain?" Drew put one hand in his pocket and nicely inquired his Pokemon.

Masquerain flapped its wings a few times and then flew down to Drew and nodded.

"That's odd. Why are you chasing after a wild Pokemon?" Drew didn't understand, hoping to get a clear explanation from Masquerain.

Masquerain turned around and made a sigh wanting Drew to follow it. After, it flapped its wings hard and dashed toward the Beautifly.

Drew's Pokemon was too fast for him, so he had to run full speed. The tree branches were annoying him, so he decided to take a small break. Masquerain was still going. From afar, Drew ordered it to slow down, but it just ignored his words.

"What's going on with Masquerain today?" Drew was confused, because Masquerain had never disobeyed Drew before. "Well, I will have to go and get it anyway."

Beautifly was back with May. It saw May still silently leaning against the tree coughing with her eyes shut. It was sad and didn't want to see its trainer like this. Beautifly lowered its body to where she was.

May heard Beautifly's cry, so she opened her eyes, "You're back, Beautifly! Did you find anyone?" May eagerly asked her Pokemon.

Judging from Beautifly's expressions, May could see that it succeeded.

"Who did you find? Take me to that person, Beautifly!" May tried to get up, but she was too vulnerable to do so. She was coughing pretty badly.

Beautifly was worried, but it used String Shot to help May out. May grinned at it and grabbed the string. She got up, but her terrible sickness really made her feel a lot weaker. May started walking with Beautifly as it flew in front of her. May tried to keep up with her Pokemon, however, she could only walk slowly, or else she would fall and faint.

"Beautifly, where is that person? I can't keep this up much longer." May whined.

Although May had only walked for a short distance, probably a few feet away from where she started, but she was pacing heavily. She noticed that her vision was getting blurry. She knew that if she couldn't find that person soon, she would be doomed. Beautifly turned around and told May to hang on. It said that they would be there soon. May gathered all her remaining strength and was ready to hit the road again. She strolled for a longer distance this time and made a turn. After, she saw a flying bug in front of her Beautifly. May kept on walking, but coughing at the same time. She soon became totally exhausted and closed her eyes falling. She thought that everything would be over. To her surprise, someone caught her right by her waist.

"Whoa! May?" Drew was shocked to see her.

When May heard him saying her name, she opened her eyes and saw him looking directly at her. It was Drew, her Pokemon Contest Rival. After, she just smiled and fainted on him.

Drew tried to wake her up by gently shaking her body, "May, are you okay?"

Drew didn't get a response from May. He could feel that her head was burning up and her clothes were all wet.

He looked up at Masquerain and then at May, "Oh, I get it now."

Masquerain heard him and quietly perched on his shoulder. Beautifly stared at Drew, hoping that he would do something about May. Drew laid May against a tree and then he turned around and decided to carry her on his back. Beautifly flew beside him and made a happy cry.

"Wow! She is lighter than I expected." Drew mumbled to himself.

He started walking while carrying the fainted May. He had many questions to ask her, but decided to save them for later. Masquerain was in front of Drew beside Beautifly. Drew was panting; he must be tired carrying May for long. Beautifly flew to Drew asking him where he was heading next.

"I know this area like the back of my hand. Last night, I saw there is a little hut somewhere near and that's where we are going." Drew said, sweating.

It took Drew a few minutes to get there. When he arrived, he saw that it was a quaint little hut constructed by light-brown colored woods. In size, it was small, but high. He looked through the window from outside seeing that there was no one inside. He chose to take a chance and carefully opened the door. Drew quietly walked inside and saw a big bed with blankets on the left side and a small, but neatly organized desk on the right side. He could see that the room was very tidy, at least neater than his room. He saw a sign beside the hut. It was said that this was a rest house for the lost travelers.

Drew didn't want people to think that he was a thief, so he politely asked," Anyone home?"

He waited for a response. However, he got nothing. Drew assumed that nobody lived here, so he walked further into the room and lifted up the blanket. After he carefully put May down on the bed and covered her with a think-layered blanket.

"This should keep her warm." Drew grinned at her and said.

Beautifly was beside of Drew. It was glad to see Drew doing this for May. It knew that it found the right person. After, Beautifly perched on the bed near May. It hoped that she would wake up soon.

Later, Drew just stepped out and looked around. Masquerain decided to leave May and Beautifly alone in the room, so it followed him.

"Masquerain, maybe you should get some rest as well. We had a great practice together, that was until Beautifly showed up. Now, return!" Drew took out his PokeBall and Masquerain was withdrawn to it.

Drew saw that it was quite a beautiful area. There was a small lake behind the hut which was the perfect place for Drew to get water for May. It might also come in handy for other purposes too. In front of the hut, there weren't any leaves and branches on the ground. Moreover, the hut was actually located on a green grass-field.

"Well, this place is better than I thought." Drew muttered.

Later, he went in and saw May still there on the bed. Once in awhile, he would hear May groaning.

"I wonder what happened." Drew said, worried.

He walked to where May was and sat on an edge of the bed. One of his hands lightly touched May's forehead. He felt that it was still burning, but it was much cooler than before. He also felt that her forehead was sweating which was a good thing.

Drew slavered over May. He looked at the way she slept, "Is that how all girls rest? No wonder girls are neater than boys; at least they don't kick their blanket while asleep." Drew mumbled.

Suddenly, May's left hand came out of the blanket and grabbed onto Drew's hands. She held it hard and didn't want it to slip away.

Drew was stunned by May's action, "May…."

May shock her head for a couple of times.

"Ummm… Mom, dad, Max, Brock… And Ash, where are you guys? Help me…" May was partly conscious, but she didn't know who she was talking to.

Drew heard her," Huh?" He was disappointed in May's words, so he lowered his head. "Humph, what am I to you then?" He mumbled to himself.

May heard someone talking; she moaned and opened her eyes. To her surprise, the person in front of her was Drew, her Pokemon Contest Rival. She was shocked and quickly let go of the hand and tried to get up, but she felt back down instantly. She was coughing again.

Drew signed, "Are you okay, May?" He tried not to think about what May just said to him.

"Why do you care? But no, I am not okay." May said, looking away from Drew.

"Okay, then." Drew stood up putting on hand in his pocket.

May didn't remember what she did, but she decided to risk asking Drew, "Drew! Did I say anything to you?"

Drew turned around, looking at May.

"No, nothing in particular. It's just someone here really needs her mommy like a baby." He smirked at May and decided to leave.

"Hey, what's that suppose to mean?" May yelled at Drew.

Drew made fun of May, "You know what I mean. Don't tell me that you don't remember what you said yourself."

"Wh…What? I was only partly conscious, so give me a break…" May said.

"Stop whining like a one year old baby girl who needs her mummy to change the diaper! Let's just put it this way. You dreamed Ash..." Drew stopped for a few seconds and then he continued,"and others and wanted their help."

May was stunned, she never expected Drew to talk to her that way.

"You are not jealous, are you?" May asked Drew, quietly. You could hear the amusement in her question.

"Humph, me jealous? Dream on!" Drew blurted those words out, although he knew deep inside his heart that he was lying.

Drew turned around and looked at May. He saw her sitting on the bed alone with Beautifly. She looked down at the blanket crying and coughing at the same time.

"What? What are you crying for?" You could hear a change in Drew's voice. "Come on, stop it! Please!" As a matter of fact, Drew knew that he was in an awkward position. He was scared whenever someone cried, because he didn't know how to comfort them and make them stop.

"You don't have to care for me, you know? Nobody forced you to stay here. Leave if you want." May did this on purpose; she wanted to see Drew's reaction after this.

Drew stared at May in a way as if he was saying "do you really want me to leave?" He waited for a response, hoping that May would say something. To his disappointed, she didn't. Drew sighed and left the room.

--------------

He walked to the pond which was located at the back of the hut. He spotted a few water Pokemon in the water. He saw a group of Goldeen lined up in a straight line swimming back and forth.

"They sure don't have any worries on their mind. Wish I could be like that." Drew mumbled.

He kneeled down and took out a handkerchief from his pocket. Drew gently put the handkerchief in the water making it wet. After he twisted it and brought it back to the hut.

"Drew, you came back! I thought you would really leave me!" May happily said, but she soon realized what she said sounded a little weird. "It…It's not what you think it meant." May blushed.

"I wouldn't leave you without knowing that you have fully recovered." Drew stepped closer to May. "Now, go back to sleep. You still have a fever and a terrible cold, you know?"

Drew once again sat on the same spot he was seated before. This time, he helped May to lie down. After, he cautiously put the wet handkerchief on May's hot forehead.

"That should do it. This should help your fever to go down faster." Drew spoke, sincerely.

"That's very nice of you, Drew. Thank you." May smiled at him and then she shut her eyes to rest again. "But why? Why are you so nice to me?"

"No reason. Maybe I just feel like it. Come on, rest!" Drew responded.

"Yea, I will."

Drew watched May fall asleep. A little later, he marched outside and released his Roselia. A Pokemon with 3 sharp thorns on its head and one red flower petal on one side and a blue one on another popped out from its PokeBall.

"Roselia, come here." Drew secretly asked Roselia to come with him to the left side of the hut.

Roselia went after Drew, but it seemed confused. Drew stooped low to talk to Roselia. He whispered to Roselia about something, but nobody could hear what. When Drew was done talking, Roselia nodded and happily went off to do its task ordered by Drew. A few minutes later, it came back. Roselia handed Drew one of its beautiful rose, but only Drew and Roselia knew the secret to it.

Drew looked inside the rose and complemented his Pokemon, "Thank you, Roselia! You did a great job! Have some rest, will ya?"

Roselia made a joyful cry and it was glad to make its owner pleased. Drew took out the PokeBall and a red beam of light came out and withdrew it to its PokeBall. Drew meandered to the front of hut. He looked through the window and saw May resting.

Whenever he saw May, her words about Ash popped into his mind. It made him feel depressed, but he knew that he had to deal with it. A person would always have high and low climax in life.

"Why can't I just forget about what she said? Argh! It's messing up my mind. Come on Drew, you can do it! Leave in behind and move on with life." Drew thought while one hand whacked hard on his head.

That made him feel better, but he felt stupid to just blame himself for one thing May said.

Drew once again sighed, he quietly opened the door and whispered, "Beautifly, come here for a second."

Beautifly heard Drew. It flapped its wings and flew to where Drew was. It landed on Drew's shoulder, but seemed confused wondering what Drew was up to.

"Sorry Beautifly, but I want you to do something for me." Drew didn't want to make this too obvious, so he decided to ask Beautifly for assistance. "Use your String Shot attack to hang on to this rose. Once May has woken up, give it to her for me, please?"

Beautifly contently accepted the rose and nodded as if it agreed to help. However, it also asked Drew why he wouldn't give the rose to May himself.

"I have my own reasons." Drew flipped his green hair and answered.

Drew was outside the whole time. He got bored, so he practiced with his Flygon during the meantime. Half an hour later, he could hear that May yawned. He stepped in and saw May with her eyes open.

"So how was your nap? Did you feel any better?" Drew asked while taking the handkerchief off her head and helping her to get up.

May coughed a few times, "I am feeling stronger and better now. Thanks for caring for me, Drew." May grinned at him, "Drew, can you please bring me some water. My throat has almost dried out."

"Sure thing. Just wait here." Drew said.

He looked around in the room and found a glass on the small desk. He took it and then headed outside to the pond.

"Well, I guess I am only useful whenever she needs something." Drew thought. "At least, it's better than nothing."

Drew went down on his knee and put the glass in the fresh and clean water. He moved his hand in the clockwise position, so the water would go into the glass. When the glass was full, he carefully lifted it up and whistled. It was the sign to Beautifly for it to get ready to enter the show. After, he went back to the room with the glass of water.

Drew gave the glass to May, "Here, your water."

May took the glass and started drinking the second she got it. You could see that she was really thirsty. In 30 short seconds, the water in the glass disappeared and went into her stomach.

"Delicious! Thanks, Drew!" May exclaimed.

"Yea, no need to thank me. I am just doing things I should do." Drew answered.

After, Drew's hand touched May's forehead trying to examine it.

"It's a lot cooler than before, May. A few more days of rest and then you should be as good as new." Drew was glad that May's fever was going down. "Beautifly!" he called.

"Now that you mentioned it, where is she?" May questioned.

It didn't need to be answered. The moment Drew called out its name; Beautifly flew into the hut from outside carrying the rose Drew gave it awhile ago in its long mouth. It flew above May and dropped it off. May was surprised, but she caught the red rose.

"How nice! Thanks Beautifly, but why didn't you just give it to me, Drew?" May asked him, smiling.

Drew frowned at May, "How did you know that it was from me?"

"Isn't this obvious? You are the one and the only one who would give me such thing. I know Beautifly wouldn't do it." May answered, but then she decided to make fun of Drew just once, "That was such a stupid question, smarty-pants."

Drew flipped his hair, acting like nothing, "Yea, whatever. You got me this time. May, why don't you smell it?"

"Why should I?" May questioned him back.

"Because I said so, that's why! Listen, this rose is going to make you feel better. It's going to cure your sickness." Drew explained.

"Cure my sickness? A rose? You really think I am going to believe you? Even a one year old child won't fall for that." May giggled.

Even so, May decided to give it a try. It was not because she believed that it was going to heal her illness, it was just because she thought it was going to have a good smell. She sniffed the rose and was overwhelmed by it.

"It smells so…" May didn't finish, but got cut off by Drew.

"I thought you refused to smell it. Why did you?" Drew smirked at her.

"I have the rights to do things, you know?" May argued back.

Beautifly was aside. It knew that those two were going to start an argument again. It knew, because that happened every time when those two met. Beautifly didn't want this to happen, because it didn't want May's illness to get worse. It flew to the center of May and Drew and tried to tell them to stop fighting over these little matters.

Drew talked first, "Don't worry, Beautifly. I won't start. I know what to do, unlike somebody who doesn't even know how to take care of herself at a time like this.

May was ashamed, "You started it first."

"Whatever you say. It's always my fault." Drew thought for a moment and decided to change the topic, so he asked, "So, how did you end up here, May?"

May didn't want Drew to ask her that question, so she glared at Drew with a sorrow face that was about to cry again.

Drew noticed that and he quickly responded, "Okay, I am sorry. Please don't cry whatever you do." It was not like Drew to apologize to people first, but he had to, or he would make thing worse.

May sniffed, but she decided to tell him the truth.

"I know it might sound stupid, but it was not entirely my fault." May paused and raised her head trying to see Drew's expressions, but she couldn't figure anything out from him since he shut his eyes. May chose to go on, "I got mad at Ash when he said that he would go to the Battis Region next, because there are no Pokemon Contests there. I decided to go somewhere, so I took a bus. However, I fell asleep and when I got off the bus, I was at a place I've never been before. Just when I was panicking, Skitty popped out from its PokeBall and ran toward the wood. Well, that's basically how I got lost here in this awful place."

Drew sneered at May with his eyes closed, "You know how stupid that was?"

May was speechless, because she had nothing more to say. She knew that she was an idiot. If only she didn't go out, then everything wouldn't be happening right now. Moreover, she wouldn't catch that terrible cold.

"Anything else you want to add on?" Drew asked.

"When I was here, in the woods, a cloaked person named Mr. X challenged my Skitty to a battle. We won, so he gave me a map of the woods as a reward. He said that it would lead me to a place I love." May continued.

"Did you say a cloaked person named Mr. X? Now that's suspicious." Drew opened both of his eyes. He was more serious now.

"Do you know him?" May questioned.

"Yea, he challenged me to a match too. I won, but I didn't receive anything. I guess this whole thing was just one of his plans. He wanted us to meet." Drew answered, acting as if he knew everything.

"But…But why? Why would he do this?" May lowered her voice. She started coughing again, "I want to go home."

Tears started forming in her eyes. She didn't want Drew to think that she was a cry-baby, but this whole thing was just ridiculous and despicable in her opinion anyway. Drew shook his head and sighed, because he realized that he asked the wrong question. He walked over and sat on the bed near her.

"Do you really have to cry?" Drew asked, freaked out.

"You are a boy, so you wouldn't understand." May answered.

Drew stood up, "Understand what? You are complaining the whole time. It's really getting on my nerve!" He put one hand in his pocket and took out the handkerchief, "Take this and wipe away the tears. Don't let me to them again. We would figure out a way to get out of this place eventually, so stop being a pain!" Drew said, angrily.

"I…" May wanted to argue back, but then she decided to quit it. "Okay, I would try to control my emotions." May took the handkerchief from Drew, "How nice of you, thanks" May said.

"Yeah, whatever." Drew replied.

May shut her eyes once again, "At least I am not alone. Someone I know is here with me." May thought.

Suddenly, Drew heard something coming from outside.

"Did you hear something, May?" Drew asked.

May raised herself, "Huh? I didn't hear or feel anything."

"Stay here, I will go check." Drew left May and ran to outside.

"What has gotten into him?" May mumbled.

Drew strolled outside trying to inspect the surrounding. He could tell that the branches of a tree slightly moved. He attempted to figure out what was there, but nothing came out. He knew that it escaped.

Drew crossed his arms and said, "I am almost positive that it was not a Pokemon. What could it be then?"

Drew walked back to May and saw her sitting on the bed. She was playing with her Beautifly since she got bored.

"Drew, what did you see?" May asked, excited.

"Nothing, it escaped." Drew said.

"Really? What do you think it was then?" May continued to question him.

"I think it's a person, but I am not sure." Drew answered.

"A person? Now I am scared…" May shivered and said.

"Don't be such a scardy-cat." Drew giggled.

"It's not that you aren't scared." May yelled at him.

"Chill, retain your temper!" Drew tried to calm her down. "You're still sick."

May stared at Drew, but suddenly, both of them heard a loud roaring sound from outside.

"What's that? Did that thing come back?" May was frightened.

"No, it was different from last time." Drew looked outside, "This time, it was a Pokemon sound."

Drew and May waited inside the hut. The sound kept getting louder and louder.

"It's coming." Drew warned May.

As the Pokemon came closer, Drew could identify that there was more than one of them. Their footsteps were heavy; you could tell that they were huge. When they were only 15 meters away from the hut, Drew and May got a closer look at the Pokemon.

"What's that? They are so big and scary." May said, shivering.

"They are Ursaring!" Drew told May.

"Ursaring?" May had never seen one of those, so she took out her PokeDex and scanned it from the window. "Ursaring, the guts Pokemon. It is evolved from Teddiursa. They inhabit in the forest. It is said that there are many streams and towering trees where they gather food. This Pokemon walks through its forest gathering food every day."

"Wow, this Pokemon sounds tough. Drew, do you have a plan?" May asked.

"No, but a great coordinator can always think of things on the spot." Drew laughed.

"I am just trying to help." May said.

"Thanks, but no thanks. You are still weak, so go and rest." Drew said to May in a way that he was worried about her sickness.

The Ursaring were now really close to the hut. Drew did a head count and saw a total of 6 of them altogether. Two of them were at the front of the hut; two were at the back and one on each side of the hut.

"We're surrounded, May. Stay here and be careful." Drew informed May.

"Drew, take this." May took out two PokeBall from her little bag and stared at her Beautifly. "Combusken, Bulbasaur and Beautifly can do some help too."

"You don't have to, you know?" Drew said.

"Fine, don't take it then." May exclaimed.

"I didn't say I don't want them." Drew flipped his hair.

Drew took the 2 PokeBall from May. After, he ran out with Beautifly following right behind him. The Ursaring seemed very angry. When they saw Drew came out, one of them jumped high and sent waves at Drew.

"Argh, an Earthquake attack!" Drew got shakened by the attack and so did May who was on the bed inside the hut. "Ursaring, stop it. What did we do to make you so mad?" Drew yelled at them.

At the same time, he threw the 2 PokeBall May gave him high on the sky. Later, he took out 3 PokeBall from the back of his pants and did the same thing. Combusken, Bulbasaur, Masquerain, Roselia and Flygon popped out of those PokeBall and joined Beautifly and Drew.

"Everyone listen to me. Masquerain and Beautifly, go to the back of the hut. You guys can deal with those the Ursaring there. Bulbasaur, go to the left side and you Roselia, go to the right side. Flygon and Combusken, stay with me here. We are going to play with the 2 Ursaring in the front." Drew ordered those 6 Pokemon.

The Pokemon went off to the positions they were given to be at. All of those Ursaring were ready to attack. They were only about 5 meters away from the hut. Drew knew that they couldn't get any closer, or May would get in real danger.

"Are you ready to win?" Drew asked his and May's Pokemon.

Beautifly, Masquerain, Roselia, Flagon, Combusken and Bulbasaur nodded and made a cry in unison. May was watching through the window inside the hut. She was a little scared, but she trusted Drew. She knew that he would win like what he always did.

"Drew, good luck and be careful!" May screamed, hoping that Drew would hear her.

Drew heard her, but he didn't turn around. He had to focus, because he had to control 6 Pokemon at one time. That was some really hard work. He raised his arm and made a victory sign at May. He knew she would understand. Inside the hut, she saw and grinned. The Ursaring were getting impatient. They waited for Drew to make a move, but he didn't. He just stood there, looking very confident. The one in front, who was the leader of them all, roared and made an order. The rest of them obeyed and all of them used Earthquake attack once more. It was different this time, because all of them used the attack at the same time, so the damage and power enhanced. Drew couldn't resist the attack. He was going to fall, but luckily, Flygon used its long and powerful tail to stop Drew from falling. Drew turned around and looked at the hut. Since it was made out of wood, he realized that one more Earthquake attack and the whole hut was going to collapse. He noticed that a few woods on the ceiling of the hut had already rolled out. Dust fell from the ceiling. May was inside. She fell off from the bed and was on the ground. She didn't look very good, because this whole thing just freaked her out.

"Ursaring, stop it! Or I am not going to take easy on you!" Drew tried once more. He didn't just want to harm those wild Pokemon.

The leader Ursaring looked at Drew in a nasty way. It fiercely roared at Drew telling him something, but Drew didn't get what it was saying. The leader Ursaring stumped its foot and was ready to make another order.

"Fine, be that way! I gave you a chance, but if you don't appreciate it, it's also fine with me." Drew smirked. "Everyone, ready to make your first move. Beautifly and Masquerain, use your Silver Wind attack. Bulbasaur and Roselia, use Petal Dance. Combusken, use Flamethrower and you Flygon, use Hyper Beam." Drew ordered.

The Ursaring were also ready. All of them came back hard with Thunder Punch attack. When they got in contact with the other attacks, a loud explosion sound could be heard. The attacks had created a huge smoke. Neither Drew nor the Ursaring could see anything. Drew raised his arm covering his eyes. He couldn't perceive anything, but a think grey-layered smoke. He had everything planned out, but he just had to wait for the smoke to clear.

"I won't lose!" Drew clearly pronounced those three words, determined.

Chapter 2 - A Clever Ranger, but A Rude Challenge

The battle with the Ursaring has already started. Drew is trying his best to win the fight and protect the sick May at the same time. Can he do it? Also, something more is awaiting them. What could it be? Find out in Chapter 2 of Dream of Glory…
