" What?" was all May could manage to say. Had she heard right? A spellcaster?
" She's a spellcaster May," Tracy said.
There was no mistake. " So then, everything has been because of magic? Even Brock's girlfriend. She seemed really nice when I met her yesterday. Is Rachel under a spell"
" Um well, yes and no. Yes, Brock only met her because of a spell, but they really are in love. There's no spell doing that, although she would've cast a spell on them if she had to. Her name is Casendra, Cassie for short. Again, don't ask me how I know this stuff," Tracey said.
" What about Ash's cure? And Max? Mom and Dad said they would get him a super powerful pokemon"
" Well," Tracy started, " If Cassie hasn't changed, which she hasn't, she predicted Ash's future the way it was because she thinks he can't do whatever it is to prevent it. And as for Max, a spell was cast on your parents to get him a superpowerful pokemon, but he'll become a great trainer all on his own, so there's nothing to worry about there," Tracy said.
" Good. So what about me? Will the cure work for me too"
" Probably. What was your cure anyway"
" Well it was... Wait, what do you mean PROBABLY?" May asked.
" Look it'll work, now what was it she asked you to do?" She sounded demanding and a little heartless for a second.
May blushed. " She said I have to find love. And no, I do not love Ash. Besides, he likes someone already anyway, my friend and his best friend Misty, the one I told you about," May siad quickly.
" Oh, I know its not Ash. Its Drew. I know you want to deny it, but you like him. I know it. Denying it means you like him, and not denying it means you like him, so there's no way out. I know you probably don't know that yet, but you'll figure it out, and when you do... I want you to go for it," Tracy made the last part come out in a way meaning please don't.
Her voice and smile said she was behind May all the way, but her eyes and heart said " Please don't do it May. Find love in someone else. Unless I find out something else, I love him too, and I loved him first. As your friend I am asking you nicely not to go for him." She seemed to know something about Drew that May didn't. But May didn't notice any of this.
" I do not like him I never have, i do not, and I never will.
" sURE mAY. uM, DO YOU WANT TO TRAIN WITH pRIYA AND ME?" tRACY ASKED.
" No, I originally wanted to ask Jesse for help, but I think I'll rest for today. There's still five more days until the contest," May said.
" Okay, but you'll have to train for the finals," Tracy said.
All day long, May wondered how Tracy knew all about the fortune teller, or rather the spellcaster, or spcifically Cassie. She knew she had to beleive t if all of her dreams came true. She took a nap. She had a dream as she always would. It was so short, but it was super wierd.
In the Dream
May was outside in the park sitting on a park bench next to Drew. She was telling him something. She finished uo by saying," and so thats why I am always so depressed on my birthday for a while"
May woke up right there. She was depressed on her birthday becuse her twin sister Rosina dissapeared. On their birthday. She remembered it clearly although she was little. Max ddin't know though. No one told him that he had another sister.
Not his mom, his dad, and May ddin't dare tell him. She never spoke to anyone about Rosina, so why would she do it now. To Drew of all people? That really was wierd. the thought was mid boggling, very puzzling. May was confused. Was Tracy right? Did she like Drew? Or did he do something nice that made her tell. Well if he did, it must've been something really nice because she doenn't even want to talk about Rosina and how they could find her if she was alive and stuff with her parents. The only other person who knew was Misty becuase she felt she could really trust Misty. But that was it. Why would she tell Drew? Why?
May decided to go train after all to take her mind off of it. And it helped. She had fun. First, she let out her pokemon. Blaziken, Beutifly, Iyysaur, Wartortle, Delcatty, and Munchlax.
She used a tequnique Ash taught her. Having her pokemon battle for themselves with each other. " Alright, Blaziken, see how you can improve your accuracy by launching fire attacks at Beutifly. Munshlax and Delcatty, you two just battle. And Wartortle, see how well you can dodge and counter attack Ivysaurs grass attacks. Everyone get it?" May asked.
Her pokemon nodded in understanment and approval.
After a while, May stopped her pokemon from training. They all walked with her to the pokemon center for a snack. " Wasn't that fun you guys?" she asked smiling. All of her pokemon agreed. " Good job today. Tomorrw, I'll pair you with new partners. In fact, I think I'll partner you up in three way groups. Finally, it was time to go to bed. May decided to think about something she wanted to dream about. She thought about winning the pokemon contest at first, but then decided she didn't want to know that. Then she started thinking a lot about spells, but she wanted a dream, not a nightmare. At last she thought about Max. About how much he loves pokemon, and about what pokemon he'll get. She slowly drifted off to sleep and got the dream.
In the Dream
May's parents showed up on the screen of the video phone. " We're so proud of you that you want to start training pokemon without even coming home to get your first pokemon in a few months," Caroline said. " We didd the liberty of catching you all six of your pokemon," Norman said. " We've actually picked out seven since one of your pokemon decided it didn't like pokemon," Carline added.
" Which one?" asked looking as if he'd burst with excitment.
" Your Ralts. Its the one you told us about. The one you met while traveling through Hoenn. It loves to speak using telepathy. It looks like its ready to evolve." Norman told him.
" We put Ralts in a pokeball for now, but you'll have to let it out once we send it to you," Carolin said. Norman and Caroline went on to tell Max about all his pokemon and sent them over.
End of Dream
" In the morning, May overslept so everyone had already woken up. After May brushed and took a bath, she ate a late breakfast. Just as she was about to sit down, Max said," Hey sis do you know what pokemon I got? Do you know how many? Want me to tell you? Huh, do you please let me tell you," Max said jumping up and down.
" A, calm down Max. B, I already know. You got a Rats, the Ralts that you took care of when it was sick, but it eveolved into a Kirlia once you got it and it doesn't like pokeballs like Pikachu so you got six more pokemon because you're allowed. You got all three staters in Hoenn(a Torchic, a Treeko, and a Mudkip)as well as a Swablu, a Shuppet, and a Salamance, which your most powerful pokemon," May said. Ash and Brock stared at her as if she was crazy. Max noded.
" Yes. You got a dream, didn't you?" Max asked. May winked at him.
" up," she siad. She ate fast and then took her pokemon outside to train. Just as she was about to put them into her three way groups, the two people she'd rather not see came up to her together. Drew and a rival that they both hated. The evil Harley.
A/N: How did you like that. Again, sorry for all of the mistakes in the last chapter, but I was more careful this time. Two more chapters are coming, I'll try to get them in by Wednesday. India has a lot of power shortages and blackouts so I can't promise anything. I need suggestions for Double Shippings, and feel free to give me any ideas for any of my stories, even this one. I could use some more ideas all of thetime. I might use a lot of them, and I might not, but you never know! NEXT CHAPTERS COMING SOON!
