The last chapter…took long enough! It's been going on for a year. Thanks to everyone who stuck around to read this, even if you didn't review! I won't waste any more time, I'll start the chapter. I'm going to try finishing with a BANG, so tell me if you really liked this chapter! I hope it's twice as good as the last chapter (which wasn't that great to begin with…)

Chapter Twenty-four: Farewell for Now

Drew and May were walking from Saffron city to Petalburg, so that May could go home. Drew was being nice for once in his life and walking her home. It was hard being nice while May was continually chanting, "Shortcut, shortcut, shortcut, shortcut"

After a few hours of that, Drew couldn't take it anymore. "Fine, we'll take the shortcut! Lead the way!"

May cheered. "Just follow me!"

"I have a very, very bad feeling about this…" muttered Drew.

They had just finished learning how to be full-fledged psychics, but they both agreed that they wouldn't read each other's minds and all, because that gets annoying and they'd rather talk.

------------------------------------------------Division Blob-----------------------------

"Are you sure this is the right way?" asked Drew.

"No," said May.

Drew began to have an inner conflict with himself on how to reply to that, and settled for an icy glare.

"What?" May glanced uneasily at Drew.

Drew continued to glare at her.

"We're here!" exclaimed May, moving through a few bushes.

"Where's…here?" asked Drew, coming through the bushes as well. They had a fantastic view, for there was a beach and very clear water. Off in the distance was a small island.

May ran ahead to a small cottage which was situated on the far end of the beach and went inside. By the time Drew caught up at his own pace, a man was leaving the cottage and dragging a rowboat out into the sea.

"Hi there. This young lady tells me that you're the Grand Festival winner. You can have a free ride to Mirage Island on this here boat if you'd like. By the way, my name's Roderick." Roderick held out a hand for Drew to shake, which he did.

"Mirage island…there are famous berries there. I always wanted to visit," said Drew in an awed voice.

"Then get on the boat already!" yelled May, who was already sitting in the boat.

"I'll row you two to the island on me boat," said Roderick.

---------------------------------------------Division Blob--------------------------------------

"Where are you going, Rod?" asked May, as Roderick began to walk away.

"I be having friends on this island, who I like better than the likes of you," said Roderick.

"Uh…okay," said Drew.

"Meet me back here tomorrow night," said Roderick. Then he walked away into the forest area.

May walked towards the forest area too. "Where are you going?" asked Drew.

"To change into my swimsuit," answered May.

Drew stared out into the foggy ocean while she changed, and soon enough, she came back in a white swimsuit that had the word "Ravioli" on it, and a picture of a plate of ravioli to accompany it.

"I got this at the mall in Sootapolis," said May. "Isn't it cute?"

Drew ignored her.

"Hmph! Who needs you anyway?" May jumped into the water.

"The water looks dangerous…" said Drew a little too late.

"You should come in too! The water's fine!" called May from somewhere in the fog. Drew was sitting on a big rock that was facing the sea. Suddenly, he was pulled in, and fought his way to the surface. He heard May laugh from nearby.

"The water's not dangerous…you are," he muttered.

"Me, dangerous? You're joking!" May splashed Drew, which only made him angrier.

Drew splashed back at May, and she floated backwards from the force of it. She laughed harder, which caused her to drink a lot of the water and start choking.

"May, are you okay?" Drew asked, concerned.

May didn't answer, because she was trying to choke and laugh at Drew at the same time. The fog separated them so Drew couldn't see her anymore. He waited a while, till the choking subsided. May swam towards Drew again.

"Let's look for the berries," said Drew.

"But we just started to swim!" complained May.

Drew glared at her. "You ruined my clothes. I didn't want to swim in these!"

May splashed him again. "Too bad!"

Drew's eyes widened. "May, where's the shore?"

The fog was getting worse, and they couldn't tell where they came from because of all the splashing and swimming, so they weren't facing the same direction as before. Now they couldn't tell where they came from.

"I…I don't know," said May, sounding slightly scared. "Let's wait till the fog clears up."

"May! This is mirage island! The fog never clears up!" exclaimed Drew.

"Oh. Then we're doomed," said May simply.

"Wynaut, Wynaut, Wynaut," said some voices.

"Why not what?" asked May.

"That's not me…" said Drew slowly.

"Oh look, squirrels…" said May dreamily.

"Those are some demented squirrels…" said Drew, as the Wynaut pokemon came through the fog.

One of the Wynauts slapped May and Drew respectively.

"Ow," they both moaned.

"They're clearing the fog!" stated May.

"Shore's that way," said Drew, pointing. He swam to shore, and the Wynauts left. But May was nowhere to be seen.

------------------------------------------Division Blob---------------------------------------

"Huh? Where's Drew?" May had swam to shore, but she didn't see Drew anywhere. The reason for this was that there were two shores, and a small river split them. There was also still a heavy fog, because the Wynaut were not there to fan it away.

"Drew? Drew?" May called. "Where are you?"

------------------------------------Division Blob-------------------------------------------

"Berries!" Drew walked up to a steep rocky cliff overlooking the river. A small berry tree was growing on the side of the cliff, and if Drew could just reach it…

The floor underneath his feet gave way. Drew grabbed on to the tree as the rock crumbled down into the rushing river below.

---------------------------------------Division Blob------------------------------------------

"Drew?" May had reached another cliff on her side, and saw Drew hanging from the tree. She gasped, and said, "Skitty, go! 'Assist'!"

Skitty used 'Assist', and used 'Flamethrower' on Drew.

"Thanks," said Drew sarcastically as the branch burned through. He fell down into the river.

Meanwhile, May panicked. "Skitty, use 'Assist' again! Assist him this time!" She jumped down to grab Drew with one hand, and the string shot with another. Drew was suffering a burn from the 'Flamethrower'. May grabbed Drew's arm, but the string shot snapped. She screamed as they fell into the river, and Drew lost consciousness.

"Drew? Drew, wake up!" May tried to shake him awake. "I…I don't have the strength to pull in the both of us…" Then she had an idea. "But I have an energy bar!"

May shuffled through her bag, since she had officially changed out of her swimsuit when she reached shore. She found the energy bar, and was thankful that it wasn't wet. She ate it quickly, and the sugar made her more hyper than usual. With the newfound energy, she grabbed Drew and swam really fast against the current and dragged him to land.

She took out her pokedex and pressed the 'Advice' button.

"Check his pulse," said Xelienne.

May felt his wrist and heard a distinct pulse.

"Check if he's breathing, hurry!" said Xelienne.

May checked, and Drew wasn't breathing.

"Administer CPR! Do I really have to tell you this?" asked Xelienne.

May turned red, and released Skitty again. "CPR, Skitty!"

"I'll never understand why you didn't do it," commented Xelienne, as the confused Skitty got nearer to Drew. Drew suddenly sat up, and tried to back away from the Skitty.

"Return, Skitty!" said May. "That did the trick!" She stuffed Xelienne back into her bag. "You okay, Drew?"

"For the most part…" said Drew, getting up. "Did you…save me?"

"Uh…" May turned red again. "I guess so…"

"Thank you…" said Drew. The sun began to set. "We should set up camp for the night…"

"Let's look for the berries tomorrow, before we have to leave the island," said May.

-----------------------------------Division Blob----------------------------------------

The next day…

Drew waited till May woke up, which took a while. He was painting the landscape while he waited, on one of his spare canvases. By the time she woke up, it was done and had dried.

May woke up and stretched. "'Morning…"

"It's the afternoon," said Drew.

"Someone's grouchy…" murmured May.

"We need to look for the berries," said Drew.

"Oh, fine…" May stood up.

--------------------------------Division Blob-------------------------------------

"We're never going to find the berries…" moaned May. "The Wynaut are all evil and working with Roderick and they're hiding the berries so that we can't find them."

"Yeah right," said Drew, who was also getting tired.

"We should just give up and swim instead," said May.

"Or we can keep walking so that we can find the berries," countered Drew.

"WYNAUT!" yelled a Wynaut. Drew translated it for May. "It said it wants revenge."

"For what?" asked May.

"WY, WYNAUT, WY!" yelled the Wynaut.

Drew shrugged. "Maybe because we called it a demented squirrel."

"WY," said the Wynaut, nodding.

"But it does look like a demented squirrel," said May.

Wynaut used 'Water Gun' on May.

"I…meant that you look like a cute squirrel," said May from the ground.

"Hey, it dropped a berry!" exclaimed Drew. He bent down to pick up the berry. "There's a whole trail of berries where this thing came from!"

"WYNAUT, wynaut, wy!" exclaimed Wynaut. (I'm not a thing!)

May and Drew ignored it as they ran to follow the trail to a large clearing filled with berry trees. The Wynaut roared angrily and tried to follow them, but a Shellder accidentally bumped into it and it got selective amnesia. That meant that the Wynaut remembered everything but the existence of May and Drew.

----------------------------------Division Blob-----------------------------------------------

"Quick, stuff as much as you can in your bag," said Drew. "We have to leave soon."

"I'm trying," said May, as they both put many berries inside so that Roderick wouldn't find out.

May stuffed one of them into her mouth. At first they were sweet, but then they were spicy. Her face turned completely red as the spiciness spread. Drew tried one too, and wasn't any better off.

"I don't like these berries," said Drew.

"But they do make you feel happy! Energy bar?" May offered Drew an energy bar.

"No thanks," said Drew.

----------------------------------------Division Blob--------------------------------------------

"Finally. You kids need to go somewhere special?" asked Roderick. "Where are you headed?"

"Petalburg!" exclaimed May.

"I can drop both of ya nearby there, and you can walk a little ways to the town," offered Roderick. Then a Wynaut walked over to it and said something.

"YOU! You kids visited our precious berry trees and took some! We were hiding that because we were being evil to society! Why do you think we planted them on mirage island?" Roderick roared.

"I told you he was evil," whispered May to Drew.

They both rushed to the row boat and began to row it away as fast as they could. They heard distant shouts from Mirage Island of, "WAIT, COME BACK! THAT'S ME BOAT YOU'RE STEALING!"

--------------------------------------Division Blob---------------------------------------------

"We're finally here," said May, panting. They had run without stopping in case Roderick was somewhere behind them. Now they were in front of the Petalburg gym.

"This is my second time visiting here…" said Drew, panting as well.

"Do you want to come in?" asked May.

"…No thanks. I'll just go now," said Drew.

"W-wait!" May hugged Drew quickly, and then let go. Tears fell unbidden. "I…I'll miss you! It was fun…"

Drew looked surprised, but then his eyes softened. "I'll miss you too, May…it was fun. Can you…tell me why you don't want to go to contests anymore now?"

May tried to wipe her tears away. "I just want to start a radio station instead…so the whole world can hear my voice…"

"I'll keep in touch…" Drew tossed a blue rose to May, and did the Drew Thing. "Bye, May."

"Bye Drew…" whispered May to the wind, as Drew left. She entered the gym, clutching her rose tightly.

-------------------------------------------Division Blob--------------------------------------

"Hey mom…hey dad," said May.

"Were you crying?" asked Norman.

"No. Why would you think that?" asked May.

"I didn't. I say that to everyone when they come into the gym," said Norman.

"True. That's his new hobby," said May's mother.

"Where's your brother?" asked Norman suddenly.

"Um…don't you watch TV?" asked May.

"No…we stopped when Max started to watch those boring pokemon documentaries, remember?" said May's mother.

"Oh, right," said May.

"So where is he?" asked Norman.

"Where's who?" asked May's mother.

"Where's Max?" elaborated Norman.

"He's a singer now. He's famous worldwide," May informed them.

"Famous? Then we can get out of this dump and buy a mansion! Let's go, sweetheart!" Norman rushed out of the building.

"May, take care of the gym for me!" May's mother ran out too, waving to May.

----------------------------------------------Division Blob-----------------------------------

May was confused. She was now the gym leader, while her parents were off finding her brother and buying a mansion. But I don't want to be a gym leader! There must be someone who can take over…someone who has nothing better to do…someone like…like…Ash!"

She sat down on her sofa and stared at her blue rose. Why is it blue this time? Blue…blue is the color of sadness, isn't it? Sad because we're saying goodbye? Drew…

But she would see Drew again, someday. For now, she had her radio show to take care of. Drew said he would keep in touch…

May picked up her phone and dialed Ash's home number. He should have reached his home by now.

-----------------------------------------Division Blob-----------------------------------------

Drew became even richer by sailing all of his paintings. They were very well done. The only painting he didn't sell was the one he painted of May so long ago. He sighed. May was supposed to be his rival, but they ended up inseparable. That was unexpected for him, but he did have fun.

May's radio show was called "May's Expedition." It became as famous as Max and Pikachu's band, and people began to refer to them as the Petalburg Siblings And Pikachu. Sometimes, May would have Max come on her show for guest appearances.

Ash and Misty did great at their respective gyms, even though they were young. They were both hard to beat, and had a fire for battle. Misty's Ash Senses forced her to pay regular visits to Ash, and she was very peeved to find out that he didn't have any Misty senses.

Ted and Fin's mother still has an obsession over polka dots. She found a job at a store that only sells polka dot clothing, and lives a happy life admiring all the polka dots.

Fin became Gary's number one fan, and even he had to admit it. She had every single one of Gary's books, and all signed by him. She also had a Gary action figure created for him, and then she sold some and it became a great hit.

Ted found out that he likes to eat cantaloupes. Who knew?

Cantaloupe herself joined Max's band which made the music even worse than it already was. They're motto is "It's so bad, it's good" so the music was an even greater hit than before.

Lance still works for the Captain, but he has to suffer visits from May and Drew sometimes. He is glad that they don't come at the same time, or he might have to go through drastic therapy.

Jessie, James, and Meowth are currently the richest in the Pokemon world. They have their JMJ company going for them, Meowth's Pokemon school, and Jessie's therapy and beauty salons.

Norman and Caroline live in a mansion with Max and Pikachu, and live their lives in luxury. They all have their own separate TVs, and so Norman and Caroline began watching again.

Roderick is still stuck on Mirage Island, and just manages to get by on the berries that he planted there.

Brock and Melody are officially dating, and are the two best couple breeders in the world. Unfortunately, that does not make them the best breeders.

Mona found herself hopelessly in love with the Captain, and they got married on his ship. Now they take turns ordering Lance around and making his life as miserable as possible.

The Boss and Officer Jenny of Cerulean City settled down in Celadon City, leaving Cerulean City without a police force. Cerulean City is now the most crime infested area in the Pokemon World. They live a happy life, however, with the old man who teaches anyone who wants to listen about the Pokemon move 'Soft-boiled'.

And finally, Gary is so busy writing all his books, doing his numerous jobs, and ignoring Fin. He loves fame, but he also loves creating gossip. He packed everything up, and moved to a quiet mountain retreat where he could write more books and ignore Fin at the same time. He has enough money to live in luxury for a life time, so no worries there.

End of Chapter Twenty-four

End of Uncoordinated

That's it…I hope you enjoyed it! I rushed things a lot in the last chapter, but the Pokemon League was boring anyway. Just note that May and Drew won the Pokemon League together, so they both got the prize.

I'll take this moment to thank all my reviewers. They aren't in any particular order.

The ones with thedashes next to them means that you're one of my favorite reviewers (which isn't really that hard to be)

Oh, and a special thanks to neogirl7900 for 'flaming' me, haha.

So, if you reviewed, look down the list and look for your name if you want to. I think it's worth it to know if you're one of my favorites, right? Haha…But I liked ALL of the reviews, so thanks again!
