Love In The Strangest People

Thx to ALL those that review! You make my day! And once again; a review a day keeps my anger away! Lol

May's heart pounded as the screen flashed.

" May versus Drew! Come on up!" Marian cheered happily. May glanced at the lime haired coordinator next to her a managed a grin.

" I'm going to win for sure!" She smiled confidently.

" I wouldn't be so sure if I were you…" Drew smirked. The two went out on stage.

" You have three minutes! Begin!"

" Glaceon! Are you ready to give it your all?" May released the blue pokemon, who purred and called to its trainer's voice.

" Roselia! Come on out!" Drew yelled. Roselia appeared on stage.

" Glaceon! Ice beam!" May commanded.

It would be bad if that hit… Drew thought. " Roselia! Dodge and use petal dance!" unfortunately for Drew, he was too late, and the ice beam hit Roselia. Drew lost half his points.

" Glaceon! Ice beam again!"

" Roselia! Dodge and use petal dance!" Roselia jumped out of the ice's way and obeyed Drew. May lost one-fourth of her points. " Petal dance again!"

" Glaceon! Dodge it!"

" Aim at it! Magical leaf!" Drew yelled. May lost more points. Now the two were even.

" One minute left!" Marian shouted. " This is going to have a lot of tension!"

" Roselia! Solar beam!" Drew shouted.

" Glaceon! Use Blizzard!" May called out. (Again? This Glaceon has no talent…) A huge boom sounded. Both May and Drew were blown back. When they could see again, May had just a little more points left. Roselia had fainted. (Sorry Drew fans, but ice is good against grass. Duh.)

" And the winner is May!" Marian yelled. " Let's hear it for May!" The crowd erupted.

" Roselia, return. You deserve a long rest." Drew held Roselia's poke ball. The two coordinators walked outside to wait for the next round. (I don't think they can do that, but it's a fan FICTION!!!)

" You did…good." Drew muttered.

" Did you just compliment me?" May asked, a little stunned.

" Uh, yeah. What of it" Drew asked.

" Nothing… it just doesn't happen much…" May sighed and sat down. Drew joined her.

" So have you seen Soledad around?" Drew asked.

" Yeah. I FINALLY beat her!" May cheerfully grinned. " I got my second ribbon from beating her."

" Yeah? I have two ribbons too."

" So, um…"

" Er…?

" I've been thinking about it a lot." May admitted.

" About what?"

" The other night, when we…" May looked away and blushed a deep crimson.

" Oh…yeah. How come we haven't, you know…done it again?" Drew asked. It was his turn to blush.

" Why not?" May asked. This took Drew back a little. Slowly their eyes closed and they got closer, when…

" OH MY GOSH! IT'S DREWSY! WITH THAT IDIOT GIRL MAY! WHAT'S HE DOING WITH A GIRL LIKE HER?!" Those voices could be none other than fan girls. May frowned at first, and then smiled.

" It just so happens he prefers me over you all, so I say back away or you might get that pretty little outfit of yours dirty…" The brunette winked at the lead fan girl and splashed a conveniently near mud puddle toward the girls. Mud splashed all over their clothes.

" ACK! MY CLOTHES! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I PAYED FOR THIS…" the lead girl stormed off. The other girls followed, shooting dirty looks at May, who ignored them.

" Your comebacks have improved a lot I see." Drew commented.

" You bet. You aren't getting any where with your fan girls, so I decided to help." May smiled.

" That was Ashley, the lead fan girl. Her skirt is so small and her shirt is so tight, I swear that with her makeup, she looks like a Solrock gone mad!" Drew chuckled lightly. (Yes, I know he's kind of OOC. Ok, fine. REALLY OOC. Happy now?)

" And the winner is Karen with a stunning defeat by a combination of aromatherapy and petal dance!" Marian yelled. " Let's hear it for… KAREN!" (Karen is my best friend, so yeah…) " Now for the final round… Karen versus May! Both are famous in other regions, so this should be interesting!"

" All right. It's my turn. Wish me luck!" May ran back in. Drew looked at her as she ran back in. Lots of luck…

" 3 MINUTES! BEGIN!"

" Roserade! You've got the stage!"

" Glaceon! Come out and use Ice beam!" The attack hit directly. Karen smirked.

" Roserade, Ingrain." Karen's points went up slightly. May cursed in her head, and then called out to Glaceon.

" Use Ice beam, then use blizzard on it and hit it to pieces to use Ice shard!"

" Wow! May has just used a combination of two moves to use a move her pokemon doesn't even know!" Marian said, astonished. The move hit again. Karen's points went down even more.

" Roserade, keep with that ingrain and use magical leaf." Karen said calmly. Leafs flew at Glaceon and hit the ice type pokemon. Half of May's points went down. At first the two were even, but ingrain butted in, giving Karen more points.

" I know! Glaceon! Use tackle on that Roserade!" May gritted her teeth.

" Roserade, petal dance."

" Glaceon! Use Ice beam and tackle the ice instead!" May called.

" What in the world is she doing?" Drew wondered, coming in.

" Now hop on that big piece and use blizzard!" May yelled. Glaceon jumped on a large piece and obeyed May. Now the terrain was snowy, with bits of ice. Karen's Roserade slipped and fell.

" Now's your chance Glaceon! Use Blizzard!" Glaceon nimbly hopped on the ice that covered the stage and attacked the Roserade squarely.

" Time's up! The winner is May by a hair! I am proud to present you your very own Orika ribbon! Congratulations!" Marian gave May a red ribbon with a blossom on it's emblem. As the crowd filed out, Drew approached May, who returned Glaceon.

" I'm proud of you. Thanks, Glaceon."

" Good job." Drew smiled faintly. May beamed.

" Thanks! Looks like I beat you this time!" She stuck her tongue at him.

" Not for long." Drew snickered.

" HEY! WHAT WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" The brunette shouted. Drew laughed.

" It means I'll beat you in the Grand festival. I honestly think you aren't even going to make it." May chased him all the way to the pokemon center.

"I'm going to be staying here tonight. You?" May asked.

" I think I'm going to leave."

" What? But it's dangerous at night!" May whined.

" For you." Drew said smugly.

" It is NOT!"

" Then prove it. You're coming with me."

" What?"

" I said PROVE that you're not afraid of the dark."

" That's not what I said!" May objected, but Drew saw her flinch slightly.

" Oh yeah? Want to bet on that?"

" N-no…"

" Too bad. You're coming with me." Drew grabbed her hand and dragged her outside. May grabbed onto him, then let go, blushing slightly.

" So that must prove you're afraid of the dark."

" I am not!"

" Okay then. Race you." Drew ran off.

" H-hey! Wait for me!" May ran after Drew. This might be fun…

I demand a total of at least five new reviews before I submit another chapter.  Thx to those who actually review!
