Chapter 12: A Flashback, Something Cute, and A Ferry
"Why is it taking so long to get to Lilycove?" May whined. She'd been whining for ten minutes straight now. Drew was used to it, and, as usual, was absorbed in his own thoughts. He was having a flashback!
----------------------------------------Division Blob-flashback time!-------------------------------
Start Flashback:
"You won? How'd you get so good?" Drew demanded, shocked at Beautifly's poker abilities.
"I'm a prodigy", Beautifly answered.
"You're really stuck up…"
Drew had lost $100. He refused to bet more on that Beautifly, although originally, it started with $5. Beautifly just kept raising the stakes.
"Maybe, but I'm also rich."
-End Flashback
-------------------------------------------Division Blob---------------------------------------------
Where does that butterfly thing keep its money? Drew was thinking extremely hard…but soon, something interrupted his thoughts.
"M-May! Don't look!" he yelled, shielding his eyes.
"What?" asked May, looking in the direction she was told not to.
An extremely cute pokemon had jumped out of a bush to their left. It smiled cutely. It was an Oddish.
"Aaaah! It's hurting my eyes!" screamed May. She began to shield her eyes.
"Mine too! Run!"
Drew and May began to run wildly away from the Oddish. Undeterred, it followed them.
"Hide!" May yelled, grabbing Drew into a bush.
The Oddish was confused, and started to pace the area.
Drew and May started to sweat.
"Don't make a noise…" whispered Drew.
"A…A…A…" May started.
Drew realized what was about to happen. He covered May's mouth with his hand.
"Achoo!" came May's muffled sneeze.
The Oddish heard, despite Drew's efforts. Drew slowly took his hand off of May and looked at it.
The Oddish jumped behind the bush and started to pick berries off of it.
"What's it doing?" asked Drew, who was really scared now.
"Picking berries…cutely." whispered May, equally frightened.
"We have to get out of here!" Drew jumped out of the bush. May followed reluctantly.
The Oddish stopped them from moving any further.
Drew decided to take action. He held out his dripping hand in triumph.
"Fear my hand!"
The Oddish shrunk back a bit.
"Feel the wrath of May's sneeze!"
The Oddish backed away.
"Muahahahahahahaha!" Drew started to laugh evilly.
May joined in. "Bwahahahahahaha!"
"Stop. You're ruining my moment!" Drew ordered, pausing in his evil laugh.
"Sorry…"
"Muahahahahaha! Okay, I'm done." said Drew, somewhat restored to his normal self.
The Oddish was just sitting there.
"It's too scared to move! Ha, cute one!" yelled May, and started to gloat.
Suddenly, the Oddish did a 'Solar beam', directing it to Drew's hand. The hand dried.
"Uh oh…" muttered Drew. "I know, I'll use my Flygon!"
"What the heck is a Flygon?" asked May.
"It's a flying poke—just use your pokedex, you idiot!"
"I'm not just an idiot! I'm an idiot in love!" yelled May, a big heart in the background.
"huh…" Drew was speechless.
"—with cheese!" May continued, and then held up her watch. It played a cheese song.
"what was that…" Drew was freaked out.
The Oddish looked equally freaked out.
"Heh…So how was it? My new motto? I got the idea from Team Rocket!" May looked really happy with herself.
"Whatever….Let's get on with it! Roselia, go!"
"Roselia? I thought you were going to take out a Flygon?" asked May.
"A Flygon? What's a Flygon?" Drew asked, feigning innocence.
"It's a flying poke—just use your pokedex!" said May. Then she grinned. "Oh wait, you don't have one!"
"On the contrary" Drew whipped out his Pokenav and pressed a few buttons. "I do!"
"Oh…ooh…." May started to moan in her defeat.
Drew laughed evilly again, and then started to battle the Oddish.
It started okay, until…
Roselia fainted out of the Oddish's cuteness. The Oddish was considerably weakened however.
May threw a pokeball.
"Don't catch it. Don't catch it. Don't catch it." chanted Drew while the pokeball sailed through the air in slow motion.
"No way! I wasn't going to catch it! This is Beautifly!"
"I didn't want to see that either…" said Drew.
"'Silver Wind'"
The Oddish was blown out of sight.
"Now that it's distracted, let's run for it!" yelled Drew.
They ran 10 feet into Lilycove. There, the townspeople witnessed the whole thing and were looking at the two weirdly.
"Out of our way, we have to catch the ferry!" said Drew, rudely pushing his way out of the crowd. May followed.
------------------------------Division Blob---------------------------------
As soon as the two were out of earshot, the crowd broke into laughter.
----------------------------Division Blob-------------------------------------
" A ferry? I wanted to go on a boat!" whined May.
"A ferry is a boat" Drew answered absentmindedly.
"I wanted to go on a big boat!"
"The ferry is rather big."
When they reached the ferry, its magnificence took May's breath away.
"It's beautiful!" she said, very much awed.
"Yeah, that's nice, let's get in." Drew pushed into the Ferry since she wouldn't budge.
This ferry was specifically going to the contest area, which, as a reminder, was on an island near Pacifidlog town.
They were on their way to the last contest before the Grand Festival! This was the tie-breaker!

"We're doing really well with this shampoo thing." Jesse said.
"I know. I just sent Syrene her money back." James said.
"We oined dat much?" asked Meowth incredulously.
"Yes…but I do want more…Why don't I control the shampoo business while you and Jesse do something else?"
"I'll start a school for pokemon to teach dem how to talk." said Meowth.
"Excellent, excellent! You, Jesse?"
"Beauty salons…everywhere…"
"Alright, I'll give you two money to get started." James wrote two checks and handed them out.
"Yess! We'll go global!" all three chorused.
--------------------------------Division Blob------------------------------
"We're staying on this boat for a whole night?" asked May.
"Yes." said the captain, who was on his break.
"Cool!"
May ran around asking random people if they were entering the contest. All of them said yes.
She tracked Drew down.
"Everyone here is entering the contest!"
"Yeah…this boat"
"—ferry"
"ferry only takes contestants."
"…oh…" said May, her happiness drained.
----------------------Division Blob-------------------------------
"Dinner is served." said a waiter. "Please come to the Dining Hall."
The waiter directed everyone on deck inside the ferry and showed them their seats.
Author's notes: I'm not sure if ferrys have insides, so pretend it's a special ferry that's like a cruise, only it's called a ferry! I've been on one when I was like, 5 years old, and I really just don't remember what's a ferry anymore…
"Waiter!" called May.
"My name is Lance, thank you very much." said the waiter, hurt.
Drew's eyes widened. "Lance? The Lance?"
"The very same."
"What are you doing here?" asked Drew.
"I've hit hard times." said Lance stiffly. "Now what do you want?" he asked, directing his attention to May.
"Is there any cheese?"
"The captain is lactose intolerant. He ordered everything dairy-related off the ferry."
"Oh…" said May, tears streaming down her face.
"Lance, a waiter…This just keeps getting better!" said Drew.
"That's really rude. What do you have against me?"
"Nothing, I just like seeing people in misery!" answered Drew.
"Me too!" chirped May.
Lance steamed off, determined not to come back to their table.
"Waiter!" yelled May.
"What?" Lance said, coming back.
"I want soup!"
Lance left and came back with soup. Then he left again.
"Waiter!" yelled Drew.
"What?"
"I want soup, too!"
When Lance got Drew's soup, he slammed it down angrily. He didn't like Drew much. He took one step to leave when—
"Waiter!" said May.
"Yes?" Lance asked, containing his anger.
"There's a fly in my soup."
Lance turned to look.
"No there isn't"
"Made you look!" said May.
Lance left gain.
"Waiter!" yelled Drew.
"Yes?"
"There's a fly in my soup!"
"Yeah right!"
"You're getting smarter! 'bye!"
"Yes, BYE!"
Lance stormed off when—
"WAITER!" chorused May and Drew.
"WHAT?" yelled Lance, unable to keep his temper. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
"Uh…" May looked at Drew.
"We just felt like it." Drew said, and shrugged.
"Ugh! Kids these days!" Lance muttered angrily, pushing people out of the way as he left.
"Do you think we should call him again?" asked May.
"I think he's had enough for one night." said Drew, grinning.
"But he gave me a dessert spoon with my soup!"
"WAITER!" yelled Drew loudly.
"My name is Lance!" Lance shrieked from far away.
"COME HERE!" yelled May.
Lance had a very rough dinner.
-----------------------------Division Blob-------------------------------
May and Drew had to share a room. There was a bunk bed in it like the rooms in Pokemon Centers.
"Do we have to sleep now? I want to find Lance." asked May.
"Me too. But first I'm going to rest a bit." Drew stretched out on the bottom bunk.
"Okay, I'll take a shower."
In the bathroom, May found a towel, soap, and shampoo labeled "JMJ". The shampoo also had a picture of Jesse with her hair straightened. May lathered some on her hair. She was definitely going to buy some of this shampoo when she had the chance.
-------------------------Division Blob------------------------------
The captain was having another break. May and Drew left their room after both of them had taken a shower, and found the captain.
"Do you know where Lance is?" asked May.
"Yes. His room is over there. Just go down this hallway, make a right, and it's the fifth door."
"Thanks! Nice hat by the way!" complimented May.
"Anytime." said the captain, glowing with happiness.
-----------------------Division Blob---------------------------
May knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" asked Lance.
"He's still mad." whispered Drew. May nodded.
"Banana." said May.
"Banana who?" asked Lance.
May knocked again.
"Who's there?"
"Banana."
"Banana who?"
May knocked again.
"Who's there?"
"Banana."
"Banana who?"
May knocked again.
"Who's there."
"Orange." said Drew.
"Orange who? And what happened to Banana?" asked Lance.
"Orange you glad I didn't say Banana?" chorused Drew and May.
"Yes I am." said Lance stiffly, opening the door. Then he gasped. "YOU!"
"Yes, us!" said May.
"What are you doing here? Who told you where I was?"
"The captain!" said May.
"That, and your name is written on the door in gold letters." Drew added.
"Someone's going to stay here for a long time!" May said gleefully.
Lance sighed. He shut the door in their faces.
"Good NIGHT. Leave me alone!" he yelled.
"See you at breakfast!" said May.
"'Night!" said Drew"
"They walked back and said 'good night' to the captain. Then they went to their room. Drew slept in the top bunk, May the bottom.
They had peaceful dreams all night.
--------------------------Division Blob--------------------
Lance was eating dinner when a giant eggplant and zucchini fell on top of him. Out popped May and Drew from the eggplant and zucchini.
"WAITER!" they cried.
Lance woke up in cold sweat. Then he turned on a nightlight and went back to sleep.

Author's notes:
Lance might be out of character! Haha. But I never liked him! Let's make his life miserable, shall we? We'll see him next chapter, at breakfast!
