Okay, now I know I'm busy, but I just got enough reviews to make me want to post again! Isn't that great? I'm happy enough, so everyone should be!

Time for Reviews! That's even more exciting than posting! In fact, it's the reason I'm posting!

To Happyham: I totally agree with you! May in the show can get SO lame! I understand why she has so many anti-fans! But, just so you know, I'm not one of those anti-fans, because I'm too busy hating Ash! But that's not the point. You'll find that in my story she's a lot more perky and has, for the most part, a different personality. Do you still want to kill her off? I mean, in my fic? She's not that bad, is she?

To FireEmeraldMay: Thanks! And, since I always write so much for my reviews, you can get a paragraph! Of course I'll continue it! I'm thinking of ending it soon, after a few more chapters, because I'm running out of notebook paper. Actually, I think I should just get another notebook! This fic will probably have…about 15 chapters, more or less, when it's done. Hope you don't get tired of it by then!

To CuTe ToGePi: I'm sorry, when have I said any spoilers? Oh, I think I know what you mean…I am SO sorry! It was the one with who used what pokemon at the contest wasn't it? I didn't mean to spoil anything, I was just excited! I get like that!

About the grammar advice: Thanks for helping me out! Usually I write them a small bit at different times so I totally forget the tense! And when I read it out loud, it kind of feels natural! Sorry about that, I'll try not to do that in the future.

To CuTe ToGePi's Minun: I have a feeling we could be great friends! I'm a girl too! Keep in touch!

To Everyone Else who didn't Review: I want a flame! I don't know how they feel like! Or how to tell them apart from normal reviews! Will someone please be kind enough to flame me? It'd be the best thing in the world!

Something else the Author(ess) wants to say: Gah! I saw a typo! In one of my chapters! I will make an eyesore like that again, I promise!

Now, for the story, the thing everyone's been waiting for except me!

Chapter 8: Meet Drew's Fans

"I believe this is the closest we're going to get to a 'town'" said Drew, as he looked ahead of him.

"It's a…school." stated May.

A girl about a year older than May steps out of the building and rushes to the gates where May and Drew are. She has purple hair and there is a strange aura about her. Her eyes are closed the entire time, and she didn't even glance at the pair.

"Welcome travelers, to the school for psychic humans and pokemon alike." She said calmly.

"You are…Drew!" she said, surprised, as realization struck. "Many here admire your talent!"

Drew looked smug, and glanced at May with a winning expression on his face.

"Have you heard about me? I'm May, and I've won three contest ribbons so far." Said May brightly, pretending not to notice Drew.

"May? Hmm…Oh yes, you're the rookie coordinator. Your progress is surprising. Most students in this school, including me, are Drew's fans however. Do not worry, I am sure you have some here who admire you as well."

The girl opened her eyes and got a good look at both of them.

"Both of you have some psychic power in you. I sense it. At the moment, May's power feels stronger. When you are done with contests, I think you should seek out Sabrina of Saffron City, in Kanto. You both can become accomplished psychics, and move things without even touching them, even read people's minds."

"We know what psychic powers do." said Drew rudely.

"Yes, you do." says the girl, with stars in her eyes. She is quite captivated by Drew, and is talking to him directly.

"Excuse me, but can we stay here today and look around? I'll even pay for the night." said May.

"Yes, please come in. Follow me." said the girl immediately.

May was eager to find fans, so she looked long and hard. In the end, she found a whole 20. When she told Drew, he acted like it was no big deal.

When the two left the school, the same girl who let them in, now bid them farewell.

"You two will reach great heights. I already know which of you will go to the Grand Festival—"

May gave a hopeful look, and the girl paused.

"—but I shall not tell you. Do your best, and good luck. If you ever do go to Saffron City and meet Sabrina, which I know you will, tell her Syrene sent you." (Author's note: Isn't that a beautiful name? I got it from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones)

At May's confused look, the girl went on. "I am Syrene, a teacher at this very school."

Drew didn't look surprised, but May did.

"Goodbye and farewell. We will not meet again." Said Syrene, waving. Then she turned and entered the school again.

"That Syrene, it's like she was waiting for us the whole time! I think she knew we were going to come from the start." said May.

Drew wasn't listening. They had hit the road again, and Drew had his own thoughts. Was he really psychic? And how come May was more psychic?

"I proved you wrong." Said May suddenly, grinning maniacally.

"How so?" asked Drew, uninterested.

"I have fans. I said I did, and I said I'd prove it in the next town. And I did." said May proudly.

"That's where you're wrong." said Drew calmly. May's grin faded.

"'The next town' you said. That was a school. You didn't prove anything."

"I'll show you!" muttered May, defeated.

--Division Blob. For your added convenience, there will be more spaces between them—

"We lost the twerps and the contest…And now our lunch!" Jesse groaned.

"It's alright, we have another eye appointment later today! And they always give us snacks!" said James cheerfully.

"About dat…" started Meowth, when he's interrupted. They're passing the psychic school, and Syrene spots the three.

"You…You have an evil aura about you!" stated Syrene, who is once again standing at the gates.

"That's because we're team rocket, so you'd better prepare for trouble."

"We're starving so it's really double."

…And so on…

"No. There is something else." said Syrene, after politely listening to the motto.

"What is it? Is my hair okay?" asks Jesse.

"Here is some hair gel." Syrene sighed. Jesse's hair looked horrible. "You seem to have been under 'hypnosis' from a…" Syrene closes her eyes and concentrates. "a…Shuppet. By Team Magma. At…eye appointments?"

Syrene looks at them questioningly.

"W-What?" stammers Jesse. "Are you serious?"

"Very. Team Magma seems to be using you. Those eye appointments aren't what they seem."

"But…but dere's food dere!" argues Meowth.

"Would you like to have lunch here?" offers Syrene.

"Would we ever!" shouts Jesse happily.

"For free?" asks James carefully.

"Yes. Right this way." says Syrene, leading them in.

Syrene led them to a large dining area, where the whole school sat. Syrene motioned the Team Rocket Members to the 'Head table' where all the teachers and the head of the school sat.

"Today we have special guests here, so we shall have a feast instead of our usual meal." There were some murmurs in the crowd, about how if Syrene picked people out, they were bound to go somewhere in their lives.

The Team Rocket Members looked confused at Syrene's kindness. They decided to think of stealing after some decent food. And the food was beyond decent.

After they gobbled up enough to keep an average person full for days, they walked with Syrene to the garden at the back of the school.

All of a sudden, Syrene dropped her kind expression and turned it into a fierce one.

"You're in grave danger unless you heed my words."

'Team Rocket' looked taken aback for a moment.

"What kind of danger?" asked James.

"Electricity. From a certain Pikachu. A Thunderbolt."

Syrene looked directly at Jesse.

"You, Jesse. One more thunderbolt, and your hair will never be the same. Your skin will wrinkle early and shrivel. You, James—you will start to experience seizures and might have long-term brain damage. Meowth, you'll lose your ability to talk forever. The one called Ash, do not give him a reason to do this to you, or you'll be forever ruined."

"What else do you want us to do? His Pikachu is the only way to get promoted!" says Jesse loudly.

"Don't you get it? Your Boss will never promote you. Neither will Team Magma. Jesse, you can be a supermodel. Just…fix your hair." Syrene shuddered for a moment. "James, you're smart enough to be a businessman, and so is Meowth. Be business partners. The way you three buy the most expensive equipment but still manage to stay relatively stable financially shows you'll be good in business. For your company, Jesse can help advertise. You'll make good money, I know it." says Syrene.

"We can't leave the Teams. We have too many loans." says Jesse dejectedly.

"I'll pay them." says Syrene immediately.

"You doint undoistand. We have to many. You'd hafta be rich ta pay dem all." says Meowth.

"That I am." says Syrene. "Rich enough. You can pay me back once you get the money. Don't forget." says Syrene, glancing at them. "I'll take care of everything. I'll even give you a loan to start off your company. I expect you'll be even better than the Devon Corporation in Rustboro. Now, begone!"

Team Rocket does as they're told. They can't tell if Syrene is lying or not, but something tells them she's not. James and Meowth immediately started making plans, while Jesse chattered about how beautiful she is. Then she turned the back of the hair gel bottle to see the exact instructions. In Syrene's handwriting, it said to call Syrene in 2 weeks time, at the given phone number.

"Everything should be taken care of by then." It said.

--Division Blob—

"Where are we going, Drew?" asked May.

"I still don't get how you were planning to travel yourself…Right after the contest, it was announced that some contest tents were set right outside of Fortree."

"Oh, so THAT'S why we're going backwards." said May thoughtfully.

"And that's why I'm the leader." stated Drew.

"You are not! I have a pokedex so I'm the leader!"

"That just sounds pathetic." Smirked Drew.

"So?" argues May.

"So you're not the leader. I know what I'm doing, and I can cook, so I'm the leader."

"I'm more interesting and fun to talk to, plus I'm very social, so I make a better leader."

Drew started to get bored of the argument and doesn't reply.

"Look, it's an Absol!" yelled May out of nowhere, and began to point to Drew's right.

"How do you know?"

"Pokedex!" said May proudly.

"I never thought you'd figure out how to use it! I'm so proud of you." Drew said fondly.

"Wonder if I should catch it…" says May, putting her finger on her chin and thinking very, very hard.

"Too late, it's mine! Go Roselia! Sweet Scent! Follow it up with a Petal Dance!"

The Absol became victim to the sweet scent, and the Petal Dance came too fast for it to dodge.

It started to do a 'faint attack' when Drew ordered Roselia to finish it off with a solar beam. He threw the ball and that ended it.

Just then, May snapper her fingers.

"I know, I'll catch it!" she looked around. "Hey, where is it?"
