HotXbun: Sorry it's been just over a week since I last updated.
It's time to meet May. We'll also get to see how life is like for the students at the Pokémon Academy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon. But I do own Ashton, Sky, Cora and Belle as while as Davina, my OC introduced in this chapter.
Chapter 7 Delivery Girls and School Days
Third Person POV
A girl named May was watching a contest on a tv in a café called The Poké Café. [Follow Your Heart Extra: May is the counterpart to Tomas.]
She was wearing a yellow, short sleeved top; black jean shorts; black, knee length boots and a black, long sleeved hoodie with the cafés logo at the back of it.
The logo was the café's name in white writing with a pokéball on top of it.
May's hair was straight and tied into pigtails and she was wearing a yellow bandana with a black pokéball on it.
In her arms was a Manaphy. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Manaphy?]
The café had blood red, wooden floors with matching walls. The café was lined up with many different tables and at the back of it was a small, silver stage.
May didn't know it, but her friend, Drew, was watching her in awe. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Drew is the counterpart to Francesca.]
He was wearing a black vest; black jeans; black combat boots and a purple, short sleeved button up shirt that was unbuttoned.
His Roserade was with him.
Drew's Sister, Davina, walked up to May and turned the tv off. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Davina is the counterpart to Luca.]
She had long, light green hair tied into a bun; pale skin and light green eyes.
She was wearing a purple, long sleeved top that was buttoned up; light green jeans and light green flats.
"Hey", May said before she saw who it was. "Oh. Hey Davina."
"Stop messing around and get to work", Davina commanded before shoving a bag into May's arms. "You have deliveries."
"Yes ma'am", May said before leaving with Manaply.
Drew walked up to his sister.
"Why are you always so mean to May", he asked.
"Because she doesn't do her work", Davina replied. "Why are you here anyway? Shouldn't you be at your lame school?"
"I left my book here", Drew replied before picking said item up. "And by the way. The Pokémon Academy is not lame. It's graduates almost always make it."
"You've already made it", Davina pointed out. "So I don't get why you need to go back to school. Let alone this school."
"Because it's a good place to hone your skills", Drew stated. "I gotta go."
Five minutes later.
Drew ran into the Pokémon Academy's gym.
It looked like a typical dojo.
"I am so sorry I'm late", he yelled.
"It's alright Drew", Dawn stated. "Andy is too." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Andy is Ashton's Alias.]
Andy was the Academy's gym leader.
"Oh", Drew said now blushing.
Suddenly, he heard someone laughing.
He turned around and saw Gary.
"Oh my Drew", he said. "You should see your face! Isabella! Mirror!" [Follow Your Heart Extra: Isabella is Belle's full name. But Gary is the only one who uses it.]
With that Belle shoved a mirror in Drew's face causing him to blush harder.
"Leave him alone", Dawn commanded.
"I thought hippies were supposed to be all about love and peace", Gary remarked.
"That's it", Dawn yelled. "You. Me. Battle."
Everybody stopped laughing and gasped.
"You're on", Gary said. "Blastoise, go!"
"Mamoshine, go", Dawn yelled as said pokémon appeared.
Dawn's friend, Misty came holding her black pokédex with daisies in one hand and her togepi in another. [Follow Your Heart Extra: As you see, in this version Togepi did not evolve and Misty did not give it up. She is the counterpart to Cami.]
Misty was wearing a black vest with white daisies on it; white jean shorts and white trainers.
Her hair was straight and loose and she was wearing a daisy flower garland. [Follow Your Heart Extra: She kind of looks like CJ from 100 Things to do Before High School. You should read my 100 Things to do Before High School fan fiction 'Keep You're Feelings Hidden Thing!']
"Heads or tails", she asked.
"Heads", Gary replied.
"Tails", Dawn replied.
Misty flipped the virtual coin.
"Tails."
Gary groaned.
"Yes", Dawn said before starting the battle. "Mamoshine, Ice Beam."
With that Mamoshine used Ice Beam.
"Blastoise, dodge", Gary commanded.
Blastoise dodged the attack.
"Yes", Gary said happily. "Blastoise, Head Butt."
Blastoise tried Head Butting Mamoshine, but it was too big.
"Oh no", Gary said.
Dawn smirked.
"Mamoshine, Ice Fang", she commanded.
With that Momoshine used a very powerful Ice Fang, causing Blastoise to faint and Dawn to win the battle.
"Yes", Dawn said happily before hugging Momoshine. "Good job."
Gary put Blastoise back in it's pokéball.
"How does it feel to loose Gary", Dawn asked putting the empathise on 'loose'.
"Oh please", Gary said. "I went easy on you."
"No you didn't", Dawn stated.
Dawn and Gary started arguing when they heard someone yell.
"Quiet!"
Everybody turned around and saw Ashton or to them, Andy.
"I can't believe this", he said. "Every time I am late I find someone arguing.
"Andy", Gary started. "I..."
"No excuses", Ashton stated. "Now, let's get to work."
Later That Day.
May was doing a delivery and she walked up to Belle.
"Hello", she said. "I'm looking for someone. Can you help me?"
"Sure", Belle said before realising something. "Hey. You're May Flower." [Follow Your Heart Extra: HotXbun didn't know what May's last name was so she just gave her one herself.]
May was very popular because her father owned Petalberg City's gym.
"That's me", May stated. "I assume you're from Petalberg?"
"You assume correctly", Belle replied. "My father's a diplomat." [Follow Your Heart Extra: A Diplomat? Then why does she let Gary boss her around?]
"Wow", May said in awe.
"So how about you", Belle asked. "Why are you here?"
"My grandmother became ill so my family came to look after her", May replied.
"Is she okay", Belle asked.
"She's alright", May replied. "She just can't live on her own anymore."
"Well I guess that's good", Belle stated.
"It is", May stated.
Gary saw May and Belle talking and walked over to them.
"Why hello Isabella", Gary greeted. "Who is this?"
Belle gasped.
"You don't know who this is", Isabella asked in shock.
"No, that's why I'm asking you", Gary replied.
"This is May Flower", Isabella revealed. "Her father owns the Petalberg gym!"
"Oh yes", Gary said. "I think I remember seeing you when I went there a few years ago. Surely you remember me."
"No", May stated.
Gary gaped at her and Belle giggled causing Gary to glare at her.
"Well that's alright", Gary stated. "Many trainers must come to see your father."
"Oh, your a trainer", May said in realisation.
"I am", Gary confirmed. "My name is Gary Oaks."
"It's nice to meet you", May said before shaking Gary's hand.
Sky saw this and was not happy.
She ran up to May and shoved her into a wall! [Follow Your Heart Extra: May!]
"What are you doing", Belle asked before pushing Sky off of May. "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay", May replied. "thank you"
Isabella smiled at May before glaring at Sky.
"What's up with you Sky", she asked.
"This girl was flirting with my boyfriend", Sky exclaimed.
"Woah woah woah", May said. "I was not flirting with your boyfriend."
"Then what was that hand holding", Sky asked.
"We were shaking each other's hands", May replied. "Which is what people do when they meet each other."
"Oh", Sky said in embarrassment.
"Let me help you May", Belle said before grabbing May's hand and leading her away.
Gary also left and Cora walked up to her sister.
"Hey Sky", she said.
"Cora", Sky started. "We need to get revenge on someone." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Oh no.]
Back at the Café.
"What are you doing here", May asked her little brother Max.
He was wearing a white, long sleeved dress shirt; light brown dress pants; black loafers and a dark green, long sleeved cardigan that was buttoned up most of the way.
He had his Jirachi on his head. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Jirachi?!]
"Dad called", Max revealed. "He asked about Grandma. He talked to Mom for half an hour."
May got sad at the mention of her father.
"Are you getting sad", Max asked.
"Yes", May replied. "I just miss him so much. At this rate he'll never get here from Petalberg."
Max gave May a hug.
"Does a hug from your brother help", he asked when he broke the hug.
"It does", May replied. "Thank you."
Max saw a jar of sweets on the counter.
"Can I have a candy", he asked.
May was about to answer, but Davina beat her to it.
"Of course you can", she replied before giving Max a sweet. [Follow Your Heart Extra: She may be mean, but she's good with kids.]
"You have to go now", May said to her brother before he left.
"I told you not to talk to your brother when your at work", Davina reminded May.
"It's not my fault", May stated in defence. "My brother needed to tell me something and came. That's it."
"Very well then", Davina said. "Just get back to work."
With that Davina left and May went back to work.
But then, Sky and Cora wedged her in between themselves. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Oh boy. What do they want?]
"What would you like Sky", Cora asked.
"I think I'll have a panini", Sky replied.
"We're all out of panini's", May stated before getting out. "What are you two doing here?"
"To get revenge", Sky replied.
"For what", May asked. "Your the one who just assumed that I was flirting with your boyfriend."
"Leave my sister alone", Cora commanded. "Wouldn't want anything bad happening now would we?"
With that Cora started throwing napkins around.
"Hey", May said before grabbing the napkins.
Manaphy got angry and used Water Gun on Cora.
She screamed.
"My dress", she said in dismay before looking at Manaphy. "What is that?"
"This is Manaphy", May replied. "Now get out."
With that Cora and Sky left and Davina walked in and saw the mess.
"What happened", she asked.
"Don't worry", May stated. "I'll clean it up."
With that May got to work cleaning up the mess those bullies made for her.
HotXbun: And it won't be the last time they do that to her.
Challenge: I need your opinion on something. I've been thinking about writing two prequels that show how Max met Jirachi and how May met Manaphy. What do you think?
My Answer: I want to do it but I want your guys opinion on it first.
