Update is here to save the day!
May: Dun dun dun, UPDATE!
Drew: Okay….what the heck?
Me: It's a fun person thing.
Drew: Are you saying I'm not fun?
Me: That's exactly what I'm saying!
May: Rolyn does not own pokemon or anything related to ATLA
Water: Flight
"Gyarados, come on out!" Misty said tossing a blue and white pokeball. A white light streamed out and began to form into a long dragon. The white light faded to reveal a blue big mouthed dragon. Misty smiled and walked over to the huge Pokémon to stroke its head gently. May gawked at the huge dragon, as did Rebecca and Max. Ash wasn't amazed; having seen the giant dragon so many times before and Drew was too stuck up to even care.
"Whoa, Misty, he's huge!" May said as she left Drew to lean on Ash for support to go pet the water Pokémon. Drew glared at her and Ash held back the temptation to leave Drew to fall into the snow.
"I've never seen a Pokémon so big!" Rebecca exclaimed in amazement as she spread her arms wide for emphasis. Misty smiled.
"Aw, Gyarados may be big but he's a big sweetie." She said rubbing the dragon on the head once more. It smiled and waved its tail fin happily like a dog. "Well, are we ready?"
May looked back at Drew, Ash and Max who were just standing there then back at Misty. "Yea, I think we're ready to take flight!"
Misty nodded and got on the dragon first. May went over to help Drew and Ash went ahead to take the seat behind Misty. Max sat behind Ash then Rebecca, then May helped Drew get on behind her. May sat behind everyone else.
"Welcome to Gyarados airlines, we are very happy that you have joined us this afternoon. Sit back, relax and keep a tight grip due to the fact that we'll be having slight turbulence." Misty said in a fake flight attendant voice. May and Rebecca found this incredibly funny and Drew found it annoying.
"Let's do this!" Ash exclaimed pumping a fist into the air. Misty nodded and patted Gyarados on the side.
"Let's go Gyarados!" She said. The dragon released a cry in return and soon was lifting off the ground. May was completely ecstatic and excited about flying on a dragon. Gyarados lifted off into the sky slinking its way through the sky as it gained speed and altitude. Soon enough they were at cloud level and going at a moderate speed. The dragon swiveled as its flying movement as it slithered through the air. They flew farther and farther from the water region until they were over the waters that surrounded it and all that was visible of the region was its ice wall.
May looked down into the shimmering water seeing some different water Pokémon she couldn't recognize. Her Beautifly flew just above them, making happy noises as it flew along as well. It was all so amazing to May. She had never left Vayu so all of this was new to her…except the flying part, she flew all the time.
"Ugh…" May's excitement and time of admiration was interrupted by the sound of sickness. She looked at Drew to see that his face was turning as green as his face. Her brow furrowed in concern.
"Drew, are you okay?" She asked placing a hand on his shoulder. He shrugged it off and shook his head at her.
"I'm fine….it's just my rib again." He lied clutching his stomach. May stared at him, unconvinced.
"No…you look more sick then in pain." She persisted. He waved at her dismissively.
"I'm fine…" He groaned leaning over a bit. "I'm just having stomach problems."
"Oh…..OH!" May cried finally realizing what he really meant. "Misty?" The red head didn't respond. She probably couldn't hear May over the rush of the air. "MISTY!"
"I think I'm gonna…." Drew trailed off leaning over the side of the dragon. May's eyes went as big as dinner plates.
"MISTY!!!!!" May screeched.
Too late.
Drew barfed over the side of the dragon and all you could hear was the splashing of it hitting the water.
"Oh god…" May muttered turning green as well. Misty turned to look at them giving them both a questioning look.
"Hey what's up with you two?" She asked. May straightened up and smiled fakely.
"Nothing!" She said forcing Drew to sit up as well. Misty shrugged and turned to face forward again.
"Was it just me or did you hear a splashing sound a second ago?" Rebecca asked looking back at May.
"It was probably water Pokémon." May lied patting Drew on the back as he gripped his stomach again. Rebecca gave her a strange look but then shrugged as well and faced forward just as Misty had done.
"That was so disgusting!" May whispered harshly into Drew's ear. He glared back at her.
"It's not my fault!" He whispered back with even more harshness as May.
"You were making fun of me because I never rode on a Gyarados when you can't even hold your food down!" She retorted glaring at him as well.
"Well I'm sorry for not enjoying the slither motion of a dragon fifty feet above an ocean!" May rolled her eyes and went into the backpack Misty had provided for her. She produced a bag full of ice berries that they had stocked up on before leaving and began to eat them all. Once done with the cold sweet fruit she gave him the bag.
"If you get sick again, barf in the bag." She instructed sternly like a mother. Drew rolled his eyes at her and snatched the bag. May rolled her eyes again and the dragon ride.
"Misty where exactly are we going?" Becky (Rebecca) asked. They had been flying for over an hour now and it was a bit boring now that the excitement of flying on a Gyarados had faded down to a small enjoyment.
"We're heading east to the wood region called Beng." Misty said as she kept her gaze ahead. Becky nodded.
"That's where May will be able to find her third talisman." Max announced. Drew growled at the thought of the Ping Heng getting her hands on another talisman and he couldn't do a thing about it. He couldn't even send any of this information to his allies. Right now he was just one of them.
May wrinkled her nose feeling a tingling sensation as a sneeze came along.
"Ah….Ah….AH…." She was stopped by Drew sticking his finger under her nose. The sneeze didn't come. "Thank you." She said sweetly.
"I didn't want you sneezing on me." He muttered.
"Oh…..ACHOOOOOOOO!!!!!" A huge gust of wind fought against Gyarados's flying making it get off course and lose control. It began to do a nose dive straight towards the water. Everyone started screaming except May who was sniffling.
"We're going down!" Misty yelled. May looked around absent mindedly before she realized what was happening. She panicked before and idea formed in her head. She raised her arms above her head and another gust of wind, just like the first one she released through her sneeze, pushed the dragon forward so that it wasn't facing down anymore. May moved her harms in a small circle before making a larger one pushing her arms out all the way. The air guided the dragon so that it was back on course. May lifted her arms again so that Gyarados was lifted back up to the right altitude.
"Whoo, that was close, but thanks to my quick thinking we got back on track!" May said happily smiling proudly of her manipulating abilities. She looked at her friends who were all shaking like leaves. "I didn't know a sneeze could bring us down…" She added sheepishly while shrugging. Everyone turned just to glare at her.
"A regular sneeze, no…" Drew said calmly. "But a sneeze that is enhance by the powers of the Ping Heng….yea I think there is a DAMN GOOD CHANCE WE"LL HAVE PROBLEMS!!!!!"
"WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME!? IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT!!!!" May yelled back leaning forward and letting go of the dragon.
"MAYBE IF YOU WERE LESS OBLIVIOUS TO THE WORLD AROUND YOU THINGS LIKE TGAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN!!!!!!" Drew yelled back.
"YOU NO GOOD JERK…..you…you…" May leaned closer losing her balance and she fell. It all happened so quickly that May wasn't even given the chance to scream.
"MAY!!!!!" Becky yelled about to take out her glider. May was about to take out her own when she realized it was in Misty's bag. Becky was about to jump but Drew did instead.
"What the heck is he doing?!" Max yelled. "He can't fly!"
"Neither can May without her glider. Mikiko planned on teaching her how." Becky said.
"Gyarados, we have to go after them." Misty instructed. The dragon did a nose dive to try and beat the two falling teenagers.
It finally occurred to May that she was falling and she didn't have the type of experience needed to fly without a glider so she was really falling. She didn't even know how to slow herself down. All she knew was how to make currents, attacks and defenses. She couldn't find her voice to scream so she just panicked. After about a few seconds of falling May felt something grip onto her wrist. She looked to see that it was Drew falling with her. He pulled her closer to him by her wrist and he held onto her tight as the finally reached the cold water below.
"Oh my gosh! They went under!" Becky said. Misty just focused.
"Then we're going under too! Max, Becky, when I say so I want you two to create an air bubble around us. I'll take care of the water pressure." Misty said. Max and Becky both nodded knowing they had no time to argue. The water came closer and closer and as soon as Gyarados was about to dive in….
"NOW!!!!" Misty yelled.
Ooh, Cliffy, I wonder what happened to May and Drew
May: We're right here.
Me: SSHHH!
Drew: She means in the story.
May: Oh.
Me: If you want to know then press that go button and review!
