This chapter's 13, an unlucky number, unluckily wose than the other ones! Brace yourselves! And unluckily...I'm too lazy to proofread! Lol!
Time to answer reviews…:
FireEmeraldMay: Hey thanks! You're going to really hate this one then…it's not very funny at all…I just wanted to hurry up and post a chapter for this week though, and I wasn't in the mood to write something funny. I guess I was just bored…Thanks for telling me what an AMML is!
CuTe ToGePi: Diologue's my thing! Haha! I guess this chapter would have more of what you had in mind! Thanks for answering my question, a lot of people did! Don't worry, you're still unique!
Hal: You're welcome for replying and thanks for reviewing again! Lol! You're like the only one who's told me what a DAMR is, and that's great! Now I know! Yay! Oh, you are SO going to be disappointed with this chapter, and I SO hate disappointing you with this chapter…There's still loads for Drew and May to do, and I have all those side stories to finish, so nope, I'm not at the ending! But I SO promise the next chapter will be SO much better! My foot fell asleep…
RandomlyInsaneWhitePony: It got funnier and funnier, and boring…lol! This one sucks! Just wait till the next one! And yeah, this would be randomly BORING! I have no faith in this chapter…and it's ALL Artemis Fowl's fault! Read on!
Dark Angel: HAHAHA, your review was hilarious! I can't help it, I laugh at reviews! I worry about my sanity sometimes…well, as all my other replies to reviews said: this chapter sucks, and I'm going to have to ask you to deal with it…I'm really sorry…
This chapter would be one of my less favorite chapters…It's devoid of humor to say the least…I blame that on Artemis Fowl, I just finished reading one book of that series. I don't like Artemis Fowl, really, he's a smart aleck. But then again…what am I?
Call this a Filler chapter if you will! It's got a feel of filler, not that great, yet it's not really the worst…
Chapter 13: A year old-secret, Pre-contest merriment
This was the last straw. Lance was so close to quitting, he could almost taste it. Breakfast was well underway, and the captain had given him his orders. He was to eat breakfast with "the lovely lady and the charming gentleman", "my two favorite passengers" and await their every command. To put it in the captain's words…
Normally Lance wouldn't object, but this wasn't his normal everyday breakfast. Sitting with May and Drew was like sitting next to two spoiled brats. That was just putting it nicely…
Lance's morning consisted of: "My French toast is undercooked, bring me another one", "You gave me thirteen drops more orange juice than I wanted", "You call these pancakes? They should've been two centimeters bigger!" and "You gave me too much syrup, I don't want this!" To put it shortly, Lance was drowsy in the morning, and they didn't help at all…
What annoyed Lance the most was that he was so much older than the two of them. Lance disliked them more than gray hairs. And he severely believed that they gave him gray hairs because of all the stress.

"I killed Archie…I killed him…" The Team Magma Boss, whose name escapes the author at the moment, looked down at the former Team Aqua leader.
Team Magma and Team Aqua stood facing each other. Each face looked grim, and some looked glad that the long conflict was over.
"My best friend is dead…" The Team Magma Boss's voice broke. A Team Magma Executive, let's give her a name…Mona, walked up to him and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. He shook it off, and tears started to flow down his face freely.
Both teams were shocked. Team Magma's Boss never cried, nor showed any emotion but anger.
"Now Officer Jenny will never like me!"
Every person in the teams started to sweat. Talk about shallow…

Flashback (A year ago)----
Officer Jenny was leading a handcuffed Pre-Team-Magma Boss into a cell for shoplifting a piece of gum.
"You're actually kind of cute! If you didn't shoplift, and if you don't harm or kill someone, or steal pokemon in the near future, I'd definitely marry you!" said Officer Jenny, being oddly specific.
-End Flashback
-----------------------------------Division Blob-------------------------------------------
"Aye, Jennifer of Cerulean City! What a beauty!" said the Team Magma Boss.
The Team Magma Executive, now named Mona, exhaled sharply. Ever since the Boss mentioned Officer Jenny, she'd been holding her breath. She thought she was the perfect one for the Team Magma Boss. She was sorely disappointed, but not ready to give up.
"You're going down, Jenny!" she muttered.
Meanwhile, a Team Aqua Executive was doing her own thinking. So the Team Magma Boss whose name escapes me likes an OFFICER from the city with the WATER gym…Interesting…and ironic…she thought.
"I can't live with the guilt! Jennifer, forgive me!" yelled the Team Magma Boss in the background.

Lance kept muttering to himself. He couldn't help it. All the passengers were leaving the ferry. He should've been happy, but instead was still angry about breakfast.
"Lance, if you keep making faces, they'll stick and you'll look like that forever." said May.
"I think they're an improvement." remarked Drew.
May and Drew made it a point to be the last off the ferry. They politely waited for everyone to leave, and then turned to Lance and the Captain.
"It's time" said Drew, looking at Lance with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Yes, good riddance." said Lance loudly.
"In about a month, if you meet us at Lilycove, we're taking a ship to Saffron City for no apparent reason. We'd be honored to have you join us, free passage of course." said the Captain.
"No!" protested Lance.
"Oh yes, we'd love to go!" piped up May.
"Yeah, we need to go anyway. We have to see the psychic gym leader, Sabrina." said Drew.
"Great, it'll be a pleasure!" said the Captain.
"Yes, a pleasure…" echoed Lance, feeling defeated.
"Goodbye then! This had to be one of the most exciting times of my life!" said May.
"Good luck at your contest." said the Captain.
"Good luck losing." Lance said bitterly. "Not that you need it."
"Thanks!" Drew replied to the Captain. "And goodbye Lance. You must tell me how you ended up working here sometime.
May and Drew, or Drew and May, took their leave, and then took in the sights. They were completely surrounded by water, and all that fit on the island was one rather small building, and two trees. There was also a lone stand that had a blender on it, to blend berries. There was a small crowd surrounding it.
As the ferry continued its watery journey, Drew looked at May. "Ready to lose?"
"You bet! I mean…No way! You are SO losing this one!" May exclaimed.
"Riiiight…You go on believing that. I have a few things to work out. See you later, when they're handing me my ribbon!" said Drew, and he walked inside the building.
"See ya!" May said, waving, oblivious to the comment. She moved to a tree and took out her pokemon.
"Ennie Meenie Minie moe…"

"Skitty and Torchic!" May returned the Beautifly to its ball. "You're battling, Torchic." She returned that, too.
May threw a stick at Skitty. "Jump up, flip over, use 'Double slap'!" She said extremely fast. Skitty jumped up, flipped, used 'Double slap', and broke the stick into pieces.
"That was awesome!" Now May took out some cards. "Let's see how this works and how long you can stay up!"
Full routine at the Contest…
-----------------------------------Division Blob------------------------------
Inside it's ball, Beautifly shivered. It realized May was using her poker cards somehow. Now Beautifly will have to buy its own pack.
-------------------------------------Division Blob---------------------------------------
Drew sneezed. May was using the poker cards. What had the world come to? And how come he sneezes when bad things happen to the poker cards? He'd have to buy his own pack…
----------------------------------------Division Blob-----------------------------
May shuddered. She had a feeling, just a feeling, that people or pokemon were going to buy poker cards. Was there a sale? Maybe they were selling pokemon cards in the contest building. Should she check it out?
------------------------------------Division Blob-------------------------------------
"Poker cards! Get your poker cards here!" Mona shouted at her part-time job.
How she managed to get from the job at Lilycove with Team Magma to an island near Pacifidlog, no one knew. She was just special.
-------------------------------------Division Blob--------------------------------------
Beautifly shook itself out of its ball while May wasn't looking. That wasn't very hard…It made its way to Mona, and so did Drew. May went too.
"$100 for one pack please." said Mona.
"That's rather expensive…" Drew remarked.
"Do you want the cards or not?" snapped Mona.
Drew reluctantly paid, and then went on his way doing Drew-ish things right after he did the Drew thing.
"$100" said Mona to the Beautifly.
That's so expensive!, squeaked Beautifly in Beautifly language.
"Pay up or no cards." threatened Mona.
Beautifly paid and turned to leave.
May caught up to it at that moment.
"You look a lot like my Beautifly! Whatever…" she said, then turned to Mona.
Beautifly sighed in relief, and then opened May's bag and tugged at its ball. It opened and Beautifly went in.
"Hmm…I thought I closed my bag…" muttered May.
"May I help you?" asked Mona.
"Yes. Is there a sale on poker cards?"
"Actually there is." Mona grinned. "$100, it's a bargain!"
"I'll say! Wow, how reasonable!" said May, handing Mona the money.
