Chapter Nine: An Adventure between Contests

May trudged behind Drew glumly, not uttering a word since he caught the Absol. That was fine with Drew, but after a while it got eerie.

"What's wrong?" asks Drew when he can't take it anymore.

Instead of answering, May says loudly, "Today on May's Expedition, May and her companion are making their way towards the next pokemon contest. Apparently, Drew, as he is called, caught a really good pokemon without May's knowledge, and now there is slight tension between them."

Drew did something out of the ordinary then. He laughed. "That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard! The Absol was right in front of you!"

May didn't reply and walked silently.

"Come out, Absol." said Drew, throwing the ball.

The Absol comes out and casts a shadow over May. In response, she immediately took out a flashlight, turned it on, and put it under her chin.

The Absol growled at her.

"Drew, it likes me!" she said happily.

"What happened to the slight tension?"

"What slight tension? What are you talking about?" asked May, confused. Apparently she forgot all about it.

Drew took out the Absol so that May would be jealous of it, but that didn't really work out.

"Forget it. I must have imagined the tension."

"You have an overactive imagination, Drew." remarked May.

"I must be dreaming…" muttered Drew.

"No, silly! Anyway, I have just the thing for your Absol!" May shuffles in her bag a bit.

"These Black glasses! Your Absol will look absolutely awesome with them!" said May, handing Drew the glasses.

"That's not such a bad idea." said Drew, putting them on Absol. He knew that they would power up the Absol's 'dark' moves, especially since Absol feels cool when it wears them.

May beamed.

"Well, we're nearly at Fortree—"

"FOOD!"

"What?"

"FOOD! There!"

Drew returned the Absol and turned around.

There was a restaurant seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Inside, everything was made out of cheese.

May dashed in, and by the time Drew got there, everything was ordered. There were mozzarella sticks as an appetizer, then baked ziti with garlic bread, and five slices of cheesecake for dessert. May had three of those slices, and they were the biggest. May happily chomped down on them, while Drew ate slightly slower, and grinned at May between bites.

"What are you so happy about?" she asked after a delicious bite of cheesecake.

"You." He said, grinning slightly wider.

"Really?" asked May, beaming again.

"Yes. You're paying."

May's face fell. Drew grinned even wider.

----Diiivision Blooob! ------

We don't have ta follow dem twoips no moire." said a happy Meowth

"Yes. So what business are you opening up, James?"

"Shampoo. Everyone uses shampoo! Meowth and I mixed up a good batch of it last month, remember?"

"Oh that! My hair was silky for days! I was wondering where you go that!" Jesse patted her hair lovingly.

"You'll be our model." states Meowth.

"And Meowth already came up with a design. All we have to do is open it up and we'll be instantly rich!" says James.

"Yay!" chorus Jesse and Meowth.

--- Annottther Diiivisiion Blob----

"We lost the team rocket members! WE LOST THE TEAM ROCKET MEMBERS! I DO NOT TOLERATE MISTAKES!" yelled the livid team Magma Boss.

"Sorry, Boss. They left on their own." said a Team Magma executive calmly.

"I don't care! How could you let them leave! We could've had all of Hoenn!" shouted the Team Magma Boss in a less loud voice.

"But Boss…They paid their loans and a little bit more…"

"FINE! They're gone! It's not like they were that good anyway…they were good guinea pigs…" said the Team Magma Boss.

Another Team Magma Executive came in the office.

"Boss. Team Aqua's been acting up in Lilycove. We need to get there fast. They're on to our hideout."

"WHAT? Team Magma, move out! We're beating Archie and his losers up for good this time! And…NO MISTAKES!"

---Division Blob again!----

After lunch, May and Drew reached the contest area, which was right outside of Fortree. They had two days till the contest, so they stopped by at the pokemon center for a room. Then May insisted on using the phone. Drew stayed nearby like last time.

After ten minutes, Ash came on the phone with Max.

"Hey guys! How's it going?" greeted May.

"Hi May!" said Ash, and Max repeated.

May gave them a sharp glance.

"…and Drew…" they muttered. Drew doesn't look like he cared.

"Where are you now?" asked May.

"Mossdeep City. You?"

"Near Fortree." Said May.

"We went there before! I hear the contest is there!" Max had just stated the obvious.

"Yeah, we saw you on TV. We watched the contest. You did great, May! And I have a fan!" said Ash, grinning.

"Thanks! Say, where's Brock?"

"Well…" starts Ash.

"He's in Pacifidlog Town. We made a short stop there by accident. Ash and I went here by the first boat, but Brock stayed." said Max.

"Why did he do that?"

"It's a long story…" said Ash.

"Can you make it short?" interrupts May.

"No." stated Ash.

"Alright…Get started." May orders.

----and, Division Blob!---

Flashback—(Pretend you're actually seeing this in the show, but with a narrator included)

"Nurse Joy! Hurry! Please heal this Taillow!" yells Ash urgently after another one of his 'pokemon rescue missions'. He, Max, and Brock blindly ran into the pokemon center and assumed it was a typical Nurse Joy. How very wrong they were.

Without taking a good look at this particular Nurse, they handed, or rather, Ash handed, the swollen-and-bruise-covered-Taillow.

"Hmm…let me take a look." said 'Nurse Joy'. "I'll be in the emergency room! This Taillow needs immediate care!" she said, alarmed.

'Nurse Joy' took the Taillow and rushed to the emergency room. While she was in there, Brock opened his mouth, then closed it again.

"What's wrong?" asked Ash, taking his attention from the Taillow to Brock for a moment.

"That Joy…She's beautiful!" said Brock with tears streaming down his face.

"Oh please. You say that about all the Nurse Joys'!" said Max, matter-of-factly.

"I can't explain it in words! She's unique!"

"They're all the same! They act the same, they look the same…" said Max.

"Who looks the same?" asked 'Nurse Joy'. "By the way, your Taillow is as good as new. Here you go." She handed Ash the Taillow.

"That was fast…" Ash muttered.

Just then, Brock grabbed 'Nurse Joy' by her hands. "I've waited for you my entire life!" he stated. 'Nurse Joy' blushed.

Max pulled him away. "I bet you've waited for this as well." Brock sobbed as he was dragged away.

"Nurse Joy! Your hair!" Ash exclaimed.

'Nurse Joy' giggled as if he's said a joke. Then she smiled. "Is there something on my hair?"

"N-no! It's…purple!" Ash yelled.

"No way!" said Max, looking at her for the first time.

'Nurse Joy's' smile faltered. "Oh that. It's been so long that I've forgotten." 'Nurse Joy's hair was in the same style as all the other Nurse Joys'. It being purple was not the only thing different about her. Her nurse uniform was pink and magenta.

Brock said, "I knew it. My friends aren't very…bright…" At this, Ash and Max gave Brock a death glare. Brock didn't seem to notice. "I'll bet your name isn't 'Joy' either."

The Nurse looked surprised. "It isn't. I had it legally changed to 'Melody'."

"But why?" asked Brock, taking the lead of the conversation.

Melody looked down for a moment, but when she looked up again, her eyes shone with victory.

"I just couldn't stand it. My sisters, cousins, even aunts—they all looked the same. I wanted to be different. When I told my family, they were shocked and threatened to disown me. I had to play along for a bit. So to stop being a disgrace to my family, I went to Nurse School. I didn't do as well as my sisters, and I barely passed. When I started to live on my own, I changed my hair color and uniform. I'm not like them, and I never will be." She spoke with sheer determination.

"But Nurse Melody, why aren't you in the picture with all of the other Nurse Joys'?" asked Brock.

"By then, they've decided that I'm not 'one of them'. They ripped me out of every photo or retook them without me. And please, just call me Melody."

"That's awesome." said Max, obviously awed.

"Ditto." Agreed Ash.

Melody smiled again. "Shouldn't you be leaving? I'm sure you have other business to attend to."

"Oh, right." said Ash, getting up.

"Come on, Max, Brock."

"Coming!" said Max. Goodbye Melody."

"Ta-ta!" said Melody brightly.

"You have a charming smile, Melody." Sweet-talked Brock.

"Let's go!" said Max with a lot of emphasis, grabbing him.

"I want to stay. You guys go." said Brock calmly.

"We're leaving!" said Max in the same tone, tugging at him again.

"It's okay. I don't mind talking to him" said Melody. "He can stay if he wants to. By the way, I didn't catch your names."

"I'm Ash." said Ash.

"I'm Max." said Max.

"I'm staying." Said Brock.

"Oh…er…alright then…If you really want to…We'll miss you buddy! I hope this doesn't end like the last time you stayed with Prof—"

"Don't even start!" interrupted Brock angrily.

"I'd like to hear about it!" piped up Max, curious.

"When we hit the road. Bye Brock, Melody!" said Ash.

"Bue Brock!" said Max.

They left the pokemon center.

"Now really. What's your name?" asked Melody.

"Brock. Can I be your assistant? I'd like to stay for good!" said Brock dreamily.

Melody blushed again. Brock had that effect on her. "Of course. As long as you want. Longer…" she said, just as dreamily.

--- End Flashback---

---and division blob---

"How romantic!" squeled May, which caused Drew to jump and clutch his ear.

"The best part is, Brock doesn't know we heard the last bit about him being her assistant!" said Max.

"I have a feeling they're going to have a great life together!" said May and squealed again. This time, Drew moved a few feet away from her.

---again, repeat the division blob!---

"Back to the drawing board…" said May as she prepared for the contest. She took out all her pokemon and stared at them.

"Which one of you shall I use…" she said thoughtfully. "Torchic…naw, so last contest!" May returned Torchic and looked at them again.

"Skitty? Nope, I use that all the time."

May returned the Skitty.

"That just leaves…Beautifly. Alright, then I'll use Torchic for the battle. Hey, Beautifly, here's some cheese pokeblock I got from the cheese restaurant! It's a free sample!" May gave it a yellowish pokeblock. "It doesn't do anything, but it tastes great!"

Beautifly ate the pokeblock. It didn't seem to like or dislike it.

"Aw, you're no fun! Okay, the routine!" May paced a bit. Considering the Contest was the next day, she didn't think about this much.

"Let's see…right now your moves are… 'Sleep Powder', 'Gust', 'Silver Wind', and 'Morning Sun'. I got it!" May yelled the last part.

"What did you get?" asked the Beautifly in poke' language.

"What are you saying? We don't have time for a one-sided conversation!" shouted May meanly. "Okay, now let's practice!"

May rehearsed, and the routine will be presented at the next contest, so that means the next chapter.

---Blob of Division----

"I got the badge from the Mossdeep City Gym!" yelled Ash happily into the phone.

"That's nice…I'm going to bed." yawned May.

She and her Beautifly were dead tired from practicing all day, and Ash HAD to call her now!

May hung up on him.

Right before reaching her bed, she got a brilliant idea—she'd call Brock! That got her wide awake. She rushed to the phone and got the Pacifidlog town's Pokemon Center on the line.

"Melody speaking. What do you want?" asked a tired nurse, yawning.

"Is Brock here? I'd like to speak with him." said May.

"Please wait a moment."

In a minute, Brock got on the phone, wearing a doctor's outfit. He seemed to be near Melody.

"Oh, hello May."

"Hi Brock! So you're dating Nurse Melody?" asked May.

"Keep it down! No, I'm not. I'm her assistant." answered Brock, annoyed.

"Are you sure there isn't more to it?" asked May slyly.

"Of course there's more to it! She's the one for me…" said Brock dreamily.

"I think so too. She hasn't turned you down." agreed May.

"She's helping me with my breeding. She truly is spectacular. We're holding a Pokemon Breeding Convention in Sootopolis next neek, so I'll be able to learn even more techniques!"

"That sounds fun! For you! For me it sounds completely boring!" said May cheerily, with a big smile on her face.

"How can you be so happy when you said something so mean…?" asked Brock dejectedly.

"I'm sorry, did you say something?" asked May.

"Never mind. Well, some people have to sleep and you've called me at midnight. Bye!"

Brock hung up.

"Midnight? I thought it was 9! No wonder Beautifly fainted! Oh no, the Contest! I need sleep!"

May rushed to the bunk bed and took the bottom bunk. She fell asleep thinking that the contest starts at 10 A.M. and that Drew had better wake her up!
