The thunder rumbled, making May shiver in fear. The room was pitch black because their eyes didn't get used to the darkness yet. "I'll go and see if I can get light somewhere." Drew said, about to get up. However something clutched his arm. He turned around, but since it was dark he couldn't see very well. When he felt fingers tightening its grip on his arm, he guessed what was keeping him on the couch. "May, let go of my arm." He asked firmly.
"No! I don't want to be alone in here." She said fearfully, burying her face in his arm to get some comfort. He sighed, scratching the back of his head with his free hand.
"We can't just sit here and wait, May!" She tightened her grip on his arm, if that was even possible. "If you don't want to be alone, then come with me, we'll search for a flashlight together 'kay?" He tried his best to take a soft tone of voice and not show that she was a bit annoying. She nodded and stood up, May still holding Drew's arms. Their eyes were slowly getting used to the darkness of the room, now they could see what was in front of them.
They walked to the door and stepped out of the room. May was starting to calm down and was loosening her grip. They were walking carefully, trying to recognize the different things hanging on the walls. May was about to let go of Drew's arm, but something soft and fuzzy touched her right leg. "KYAA!!" She screamed and clutched the boy's arm tighter than before. Drew had closed his eyes, waiting for the worst. However, when nothing came, he opened them and looked down at the brown-haired girl.
"Why did you scream?!" He yelled at her, giving a 'What's wrong with you?!' look.
"Some...something touched my leg!" She said, trembling.
Drew looked down on the floor, searching for whatever had touched May. When he saw what it was, he giggled. "May, look down." He commanded. The girl looked unwillingly down.
"Vulpix!" the 'scary' creature squealed cutely. May smiled and sighed, happy to see that she wasn't in danger.
"You're such a coward." Drew taunted.
"I'm not!" May replied coldly.
"Then, may I ask you why you are clutching my arm so tightly?" He said, raising an eyebrow.
She looked at her hands holding his right arm and finally released it, trying to look like she wasn't afraid at all. "I was holding you, because I didn't want to be all alone in the dark. I wasn't scared!" She said still trying to look unafraid. Drew sniggered and walked to the stairs. He went down carefully soon followed by May.
Once they were both in the Kitchen, they started to search for flashlights, candles, or whatever that could light up the rooms. May was searching in a closet when she got an idea. "Drew I have an idea!" She said happily.
"Oh, well that's unusual."
She coughed trying to ignore him. "Do you have a pokemon that knows Flash?!" she asked, full of hopes.
"I don't think so." He said sadly.
"Oh...Ah! Maybe I can ask Blaziken to light up the room with its fire!" She said picking Blaziken's pokeball.
"Are you crazy?! This house is made of wood!" He replied, catching her wrist to stop her from releasing her fire pokemon.
May sighed, Beautifly forgot it not long ago, her only pokemon that could use flash. She sighed once more, looking down at Vulpix. "Vulpix, use Flash!" May commanded, she had a feeling it would use it, she just knew it.
The little fox pokemon looked at her questioningly. It didn't move, just stood there with a confused look on its face. She sighed for the thousand time this day and continued to search for something to light up the rooms.
"I found nothing in here." Drew said.
"I found candles!" May screamed proudly, picking the few candles that were in the closet in front of her.
"Great! Now we need a candlestick." He said, walking closer to the girl. He took a quick look inside the closet. "There aren't any in there." He said looking back at May.
"We don't need candlestick! Let's just melt the bottom of the candle and put it on something so it can stay still." She explained.
"Hmm...I guess you do have ideas that works sometimes." He said flicking his hair as she smirked.
May was about to go up stairs and get some sleep, but she heard something...in fact she heard nothing coming from outside. She looked out the window and saw that the rain had stopped.
"Drew! It stopped raining!!" She said happily running outside to smell the fresh air. Drew and Vulpix soon followed her.
"It stopped, but not for long, look up." He said gazing at the big grey clouds that was floating above them.
"Oh, well we better get back inside- Wait look!!" She said pointing something. She walked quickly pulling Drew's arm with her.
"Where are you going May, it'll rain soon and I doubt that Vulpix likes rain!" He yelled, but let her lead him to wherever she was going.
"I saw something in the lake." She said walking faster to the small lake not far from the house.
"You probably saw a pokemon or something." He replied frowning.
She didn't answer. When the two of them were only some inches away from the lake, They stopped and stared at it. Vulpix was following them, it didn't seem to like the wet grass and the still clouded and starless sky. It squealed its name softly, but the trainers didn't notice.
"There is nothing here May, let's go back inside."
"No, I saw something strange it was like an odd light floating around here." May explained still staring at the peaceful lake.
Suddenly a bright light shined in the water. Like a star in the sky or a shiny diamond on a black blanket. Then another, smaller, appeared next to it. Drew gasped, it was amazing, about a hundred lights were shining in the lake now, like a starry sky, but the stars were moving. May clutched Drew's arm in amazement. He barely noticed, all he could do was to observe the moving lights in the calm lake. They were both wondering what it was, but none of them wanted to ruin the beautiful spectacle with a silly question or a stupid remark.
The wind blew gently, creating waves on the water. Surskit were moving on the water's surface, playing and chasing the lights. May giggled, that was a great view, and she was happy that she could share it with someone. That was when she noticed that traveling alone wasn't for her. She needed someone to talk to, to share things with and to cheer for. For the first time since the light brightened up the lake, she turned her eyes away from them, she looked at the boy beside her. She had to admit; he was good-looking, no wonder why he had numerous fans. The lights were reflecting in his emerald-eyes, she knew that if she had taken a photo of him at that moment, fangirls would have give anything to get it.
"What do you think it is?" He asked curiously, breaking the girl's thoughts. May blushed and looked back at the lake.
"I don't know, but it's so dreamy."
"I wouldn't qualify that as 'dreamy'..." He said giving her an odd look.
"Why not!? It is the most romantic thing a girl could ever wish for!" She said, without thinking twice.
"What?! What are you talking about?!" He flushed red, finally noticing that she was still holding his arm tightly.
She loosened her grip and released his arm. "I mean, if I wasn't with you, it would have been much more romantic!"
"So you're saying that we are supposed to be in a romantic mood right now?" He said, staring in her blue eyes.
"I...No! I said that if it was someone who doesn't say useless comment like you, It would have been really romantic!" She replied angrily, confused by his remark.
"So, we could have been in a romantic moment, if I didn't say anything?" He added, intentionally trying to confuse her.
"No! I never said that! Forget it, okay?" May looked back at the lake, suddenly fascinated by the lights.
"As you wish." He giggled.
Both of them looked at the lights, that were slowly starting to fade away. Only a few of them were left, about twenty. They were still dancing underwater, creating a magical atmosphere. Illumises and Voltbeats were starting to lit up the dark sky by now, drawings complex designs.
"Hey, look Illumises and Voltbeats are joining in!" May said happily, pointing at them. Drew looked up and smiled as the pokemons moved in the night sky.
May got her pokedex out of her bag and pointed it to the lake, to see what kind of pokemon was producing those beautiful lights.
Lanturn
It is known as the 'deep-see star' for its illuminated antenna. This pokemon illuminates the inky darkness of deep seas, giving the sea an appearance of starry night.
"Oh! They're Lanturns! But isn't it a sea pokemon?" She asked to Drew.
"Yeah, it is...but I heard that there are some rare species that live in lakes or rivers." He explained.
"Oh! I want one!!" She said picking up a free pokeball and throwing it in the lake.
"You just wasted a pokeball..." Drew said, folding his arms and raising an eyebrow playfully.
"No! I'm sure I'll eventually catch something!" She said, full of confidence.
"Sorry, but I doubt that you'll ever catch something with that method." He said, walking closer to her.
"Do you have a rod in that bag?" He asked, without waiting for an answer, he unzipped her tiny bag. May jumped at his move, she stepped away from him, blushing madly.
"Don't touch that!" She yelled, zipping her bag.
"What? Do you keep a international secret in that?" He asked suspiciously.
"N...No! It's just that it is MY bag, you have no right to open it and dig into MY things." She replied angrily.
"You do know that by saying that you just make me more curious about what is in your bag, right?" He said, flicking his hair off his eyes.
"Please Drew, don't peek in my bag!" She begged with a small blush still visible on her cheeks.
"Okay, okay, I won't look, happy now?" He said looking away, slightly awkward because of the tone of voice she used.
She nodded and smirked. May sighed and turned back at the lake to see the last lights fading away in the deep water.
"I guess, I did waste a pokeball..." She said sadly.
"I was right, you were wrong!" Drew said in a singsong voice.
The brown haired girl groaned and was about to walk back at the house, when the thunder rumbled. As if on cue, the pokeball that May threw in the lake earlier, came back on the ground. The young girl, surprised, went to pick it up and released the pokemon that was inside.
A blue and yellow pokemon with two antennas and a plus sign in each eyes appeared, it seemed confused.
"Hey, you caught a Chinchou! It'll evolve into a Lanturn someday." Drew explained.
"I know! You don't need to explain things to me!" She replied.
"Okay then," He laughed, 'Note to self: Don't explain things to May, even if she asks for it' He thought with a smile on his face.
May returned Chinchou in its pokeball and hug the round thing screaming 'I caught a Chincou, YAY!' in delight. The thunder rumbled once again.
"We sould head back inside now!" The young boy said, unconciously grabbing May's hand and dragging her into the house. She seemed surprised, but since she did the same thing to him earlier, she just let him lead her.
They were back inside, It was still dark and creepy. Vulpix, followed them and came close to their feet, it was scared too.
Drew walked to the stairs, letting go of May's hand and walking carelessly, too carelessly. A puddle of water, that he forgot to clean up, was in his way. He didn't see it and the next thing he knew was that May had screamed his name and tried to grab him before he fell on the floor. Unfortunatly for May, she wasn't strong enough, so she fell along with him. They had both closed their eyes for some reason and when they opened it, Drew found that two blue eyes stared in his emerald's.
How could he forget to clean up the floor?!
So what do you think? I think I made some mistakes and I repeated a lot of words, but I did my best! I hope my best's good though...
So please read and review! (if you do I'll give you chocolate and strawberries!!)
