This chapter was hard to write. I don't want to bore you to death with endless filler chapters, but I don't want to give you all the action in one chapter.

I also have been thinking about writing another story. Don't worry, this one's not getting abandoned. More about that at the bottom.

Disclaimer: Same old, same old.

Leaf's POV

"Please miss, may I go up to Mt Moon to train for a week?" I asked earnestly. "I have not had enough space and isolation to train properly." And I can't train my grass and wind powers over here. I added silently. Please, please, say yes! Our orphanage head looked thoughtful.

"In normal cases, I would say no, however, you have a lot of skill, plus you have always been well behaved for all of your time in the orphanage... so... it's alright. You can go, but come back on time." YES! I ran back to my room to pack.

"Shaymin, you can come out now." The adorable grass type Pokemon poked it's head from under my bed.

What's up?

"We're allowed to go to Mt Moon!" I squealed. "Then when we get there I will be a master of Grass and Flying Master! And I'll be able to get revenge on that %^&*ing $%&^(*$ Gary."

Yeah… But don't you think he's been through enough? I mean you've already tore up his cheek.

"Nothing can be enough for that… &*(%&*^." I seethed.

Yeah… By the way, I ate the rest of your candy supply.

"WHAT!?"

It was delicious.

"Rarrr!" I growled, chasing after Shaymin

You know it's useless chasing me, because I can just disappear.

"I hate you."

I love you too. Just then the door opened.

"Oh, hey Dawn!"

"I heard you were leaving for Mt Moon to train."

"Oh, yeah, I'm leaving for Mt Moon."

"Well, have fun, and good luck!"

"Thanks! See ya!" I raced out the door with my backpack.

Paul's POV

Smash! Snap! Crack! I snapped my bedpost and it broke off. Whatever. I punched another 10 holes in my wall.

"Whoa. What the #^*$ happened here?" Gary stepped into my room, carefully skirting the debris.

"Go away." I replied, turning my back to him.

"No. When my best friend is having girl trouble, the least I can do is give him my amazing knowledge and experience."

"Since when were we even friends, and no, I'm not having girl problems." Gary put his arm around my shoulders.

"We were always besties."

"No we aren't." I said shrugging his arms off.

"I know you're having girl problems because I'm that awesome." I raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, fine, Dawn told me she rejected you. But Dawn? I thought you hated her."

"To keep Ursula away." Now it was Gary's turn to raise an eyebrow.

"Really?" He asked. "You do know that I'm a master of manipulation and interrogation,right? Do you really think lies can fool me?"

"Go ^$*# yourself."

"Wow, you're nice."

"Yeah. Now go away." Suddenly, a voice from outside the door called:

"Gary, are you in there?"

"Oh, hi Drew, please come into Paul's destroyed room and make yourself comfortable." I almost slammed my head into a wall. First Gary, then Drew? ^(&*(^%^*&% #!# Drew stepped in and gasped at the state of my room.

"Paul, do you want me to call HQ's therapist?" Drew threatened. I shuddered. Last time when I was on rage mode, I had accidently destroyed a quite expensive and important machine. Because of my perfect assignment record, the Boss let me off with heavy warning, rubbish duty for 2 months and weekly visits from our therapist for a year. It was... torture. She was %$^%^ing insane. Literally. She would spout random rubbish about nothing at the weirdest times. And make disgusting 'healing' remedies and shovel them down my throat. And she would threaten to rape me if I didn't behave. I think the only reason she isn't fired yet, is because the thought of going back scares people $%^%less so they try to get better as fast as they can.

"NO! DON'T MAKE ME GO BACK TO THAT TORTURE!" I screamed.

"Whoa. It's that bad that the emotionless Paul will be screaming in horror?" Gary shivered. "Anyway, Drew, what did you want me for?"

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.

Drew's POV

I came in to ask Gary what to do if his girlfriend was Princess of Shaymin, or something, but with Paul here... Play it safe, dude. I told myself.

"Dawn told me that Leaf was leaving for Mt Moon to train for a week." Gary's head jerked up so fast that I heard his neck crick.

"Owww." Paul looked uninterested. Until...

"Dawn spoke to you?"

"Yeah...? Why?" Paul opened his mouth.

"No one cares about Dawn, I want to hear about Leafy." Gary cut Paul off rudely. Ohh. I see what happened here. I smiled.

"Sorry boys, that's all the information I have." Both boys slumped down. Haha. But I suppose I am too. Both these guys can't help me with my problem though. Gary… He doesn't care about his girlfriends. He treats them like objects. Even Leaf. Paul… He would never think even once about betraying the Boss. No matter how much he likes someone, he would still be loyal to the Assassin Guild. That leaves Ash… As much as he's stupid, he's the only one who can probably help me… Of course I won't tell him the truth, I'll say I'm 'just asking', but he told me he loves Misty, so if I asked him… Yeah. I'll ask Ash.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.

Ash's POV

I sat in my bedroom, feeling sorry for myself. Misty, why? I remembered what my mum told me when I was 8. When you're an assassin, you'll have to do lots of things you'll regret. The way to keep moving is: Always look on the bright side. She was married to the late Giovanni, the last Boss. Which made Giovanni my step-father. She was a skilled assassin, specializing in seduction and rape. Which, you can imagine, caused many arguments between her and Giovanni. I was actually born from one of her 'missions'. Who, BTW, was the late Red Ketchum, Champion of Kanto. She killed him after. Giovanni wanted her to have an abortion, but Giovanni died before he could actually kill me. Which was why I was destined to be an assassin. But back to Misty. The bright side? Well, at least I escaped the friendzone. Even if it wasn't the way I wanted it to be.

"Ash, can I come in?" Drew sounded troubled.

"Kay." I replied in an equally depressed voice. He sat down on my bed next to me, both of us appreciating the silent sympathy about whatever was troubling the each other.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.

Drew's POV

I broke the silence.

"What would you do if Misty was Princess of Victini?" Ash looked startled. Ash thought for a second.

"If you choose to save May, I won't tell. But you how much do you love her? Do you value May or your life more?" &*%& He can read me like an open book.

To be honest, although none of us will admit it, Ash included, Ash is the most skilled of us all. Gary says he's a master of manipulation, interrogation and seduction. Ash can do the first to just as well, but only the third he lacks. Paul has the power, brute strength and authority. Ash is probably the 2nd most powerful, and most powerful if it has something to do with food. I am a master with disguise, stealthiness and seduction. The 3rd one, again, Ash lacks but he makes up for it with the ability to easily make friends. He has a way with Pokemon. That's his area of speciality. Plus everything else I've already said.

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking you."

"You want to choose May. But your conscience is stopping you." Told ya.

"Yes."

"I can't help you with this. This is your choice. But either way, you're going to regret it. Choose wisely." Whoa. Who knew Ash could be so philosophical? Ash stood up and left. I sat on his bed, pondering. My heart filled with dread. I knew I would have to choose now. I stood up, the decision have been made. With a heavy heart, I picked up the holograph messenger.

My boss appeared on the screen.

"What is it Agent Emerald?" He snapped. I want to go back to my soap operas.

"Sir, I found…" I took a deep breath. "I found the Princess of Manaphy.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.

Drew! Why?! Why did you betray May?!

So up the top I said (wrote? IDK) I wanted to write another story. That doesn't mean I'm giving up this story, it just means I will update slower, cause there are 2 stories to update. It will be mainly Ikari and Leafgreen, with minor Poke and Contest, and two other shippings out of:

Soulsilver (LyraxSilver)

Kalos (SerenaxCalem)

Special (RedxYellow)

Shootsdown (ZoeyxKenny)

Quest (MarinaxJimmy)

Wishful (IrisxCilan)

Review to tell me if you want another story, or not, and if yes, tell me which 2 shippings you want. If the end results end with 3 or more of the top number of votes, the shippins will be given priority in the order listed.
