Me: "Last time we ended with arriving in the new region"
May: "Today we're going to continue"
Drew: (flicks hair) "I'm not doing this"
Me: "Great, Drew's being stubborn again"
May: "But what are we going to do this time"
Me: "Basically we're meeting some people and we're going to do some history of Drew"
Drew: "Didn't we do that already?"
Me; "Not enough, you're to fun to mess with"
Drew: "Just what I needed, a psycho authoress"
Me: "I pretend I didn't' hear that. Well enjoy the new chapter."
May: "Riikani doesn't own Pokemon or any of the characters; it's all owned by a guy named Satoshi uh...something"
Me: "O yeah, the name Sora Naka, I just came up with. I didn't try to take it from Kingdom Hearts, and if I did, I do not own Kingdom Hearts either.

Chapter 4; We're all rivals!!
The moment they walked into the Pokemoncenter, they heard a deafening shriek.
May knew it was but said nothing while Drew groaned.
Harley came walking to them with hips swaying from the one to the other side. ((A/N Ugh, imagine that! just seeing it is enough to make me want to vomit))
"Who's that?" May whispered, since she was supposed not to know him. Drew groaned again "his name is Harley, he does everything to win. Cost us a bit of trouble over the years", he said grim.
"Drewbie!! What great to see you again", Harley said with his high-pitched voice, faking the pure joy.
He turned to May; "And May, huh, what happened to you? Why are you wearing that wig, and that terrible scar", he shivered dramatically; "It's soooo disgusting"
May looked away, on the verge of tears.
"Harley, this isn't May, this is Sora and you better shut up" Drew said. It didn't pass him it had hurt Sora big time, 'so I was right, she got that scar not such a long time ago'
He smirked; "It's not like you are world's prettiest person. With Sora is at least half of her face OK, something we can't say about you"
Harley's eyes widened in shock, and he looked like he was about to lunge at Drew, but he turned around
"I'll get you and Scarface at the contest" and he walked away angry.
May forced herself not to cry, she didn't want to. But Harley had hurt her badly; her scar was disgusting!
"Hey Sora, don't let anything he said get to you" Drew suddenly said, "It's his way of winning"
Drew smirked; "Besides, even May beat him all the time, I guess it won't be a problem for you"
He frowned and looked like he was bothered by something. He threw a glance at her before he stalked off to his room ((A/N No you sicko's, they do not share a room)) but not before May hear him mutter; "wonder why I said that"
May smiled; Drew didn't know it but he was so close realizing she was not Sora.
May asked Nurse Joy for the key of her room and dumped her stuff there.
She decided to give Max a call, she had promised to do that after all.
She went to the area where the phones were and dialed the number of home.
The familiar face of Max showed up; "Hey May!" he said cheerful. May grinned; "My name is Sora, remember?"
Max spread his eyes; "I assume you've been introducing yourself already, because it sounds really convincing"
May nodded; "yeah, I did"
Max leaned back in his chair before the videophone; "mind telling me who?" he asked curious, "and describe the person while you're talking anyway"
May chuckled; "I really don't have to describe him since you know him pretty well"
Max looked confused; "How could I know someone from..."
"It's Drew" she said, interrupting his question.
Max frowned: "and he didn't see through your masquerade? I guess he is really blind or stupid" he commented but May shook her head.
"No, he asked if I was May, in fact he recognized me immediately, but then I asked who May was and he saw my scar so he believed me when I said I was Sora" May explained.
She laughed: "Besides, why would I ask further about myself?" Max laughed too; "True"
May frowned, "It seems he was or still is, pretty upset I stopped coordinating"
"You stopped?"
May shrugged; "Well, May did, you know, the girl without the scar. I am Sora the rookie trainer"
Max wasn't sure if he was supposed to laugh, because it wasn't funny and she spoke so ironically he decided not to.
"Well, that will be a surprise when you win the contest" he said instead.
May's face cleared: "Yeah and I'd love to see Harley's face when I kick his but" she said powerfully. Max looked confused again; "Harley? Creepy Harley??" he asked.
"Oh right I'm sorry, I hadn't said yet I have met up with him too" she apologized and her face darkened again; "He called me Scarface"
Max said nothing; he was too far from her to be completely able to comfort her.
"Hey Max, will you watch my contest?" she asked suddenly and Max nodded. "Of course, I wouldn't want to miss it for the world"
He chuckled: "after all, it's your first", he said with an extra emphasis on the last part.
"Bye sis" Max said and May nodded; "I'll call again soon", and she broke the connection.
May leaned back in her chair and praised heaven for having such a brother.
She looked outside and saw the sky turning slightly orange and pink and suddenly felt her stomach. 'I might as well get something for dinner' she thought.
She went to the small mess-hall the center contained and grabbed the closest to eat and walked to a table far in the back beside a window and stared thoughtlessly outside.
'First Drew, than Harley, it looks like all my rivals are once again my rivals', May giggled; 'it wouldn't surprise me if Solidad showed up' she thought.
Of course, fate had to budge in at the moment; "Are you sitting here alone?" a female asked and May looked up surprised, trying to conceal her face with her hair as much as possible to not to scare the person.
This, of course, happened to be Solidad.
May sweatdropped; 'Right' but decided to answer even so
"Yes" and Solidad smiled kindly; "Mind if I join you?"
May smiled back, "not at all".
She sat down; "My name is Solidad by the way". May chuckled to herself; her disguise worked once again, but decided to add a bit to the believe.
"I know, I recognized you from television".
Solidad laughed: "Inevitable I guess, what's your name"
May stared outside once again; "Sora Naka"
Solidad smiled; "I take it you're a coordinator too?" she said and May smiled. "Yes, how do you know?"
Solidad smirked; "this region doesn't have a league so there are hardly any trainers here". She smiled; "I guess I have another opponent" she said and now it was May's turn to smile too;
"Me too"
Solidad looked surprised; "really? Who did you meet?"
May tapped her finger against her chin, as if trying to remember the names while she knew them damn well. "Well, I met Harley"
"Not someone you would forget lightly" Solidad commented with a sparkle in her eyes.
"And Drew"
Solidad couldn't possibly look more stunned. "He finally started coordinating again" she said
Now it was May's turn to look surprised; "how come 'again'?" she asked
Solidad frowned; "Do you know May Maple by any chance?" she asked and May nodded; why wouldn't she know herself?
"Yes I saw her on television a few years back and Drew mentioned her"
Solidad sighed; "he hasn't changed one bit" she muttered. "Alright then, I'll tell the story
May and Drew used to travel together some times ago" Solidad laughed; "When they were ten, they had become rivals, but as the time went by they slowly became friends".
Solidad laughed upon seeing May's confused face and explained it wrong; "Their friendship was based on bickering and teasing but they always mad up for insults. Drew used to give May roses for example if she was mad at him"
Solidad sighed; "I suppose he liked her"

Me; "Oof that was a long chapter for me"
Drew: "Long enough, thank you. We now know enough about me, continue the story already!"
Me: "Know enough about you? Not even close"
May: "Is there more?"
Me: "Lot's and lots more. Anyway, next chapter I won't be talking much, so I'd better say it now; don't forget to review. I know it's tempting to just favorite but it's really nice towards the author to review (this time that would be me, but other authors beg for it too you know)
Drew: "Just go writing the next chapter, they know already"
Me: "I'm sorry, Mr. Stuck-up.
Drew: "That was uncalled for"
Me: "I know"
