Okay, I know what you are thinking, and it goes something like, 'Didn't you abandon us?' Well just to let you know, I didn't my final final is tomorrow, and I have been studying like heck to get it together. Should I be doing that instead of updating this? Of course, but I hope you aren't complaining. LOLZ. Well anyway, let's get this started ok?


"You ready?" May questioned. Once more I nodded my head and smiled at her. We now stood an ample distance apart from each other near the lake side. I was slightly nervous, but May looked as confident as ever. The truth was, I knew my best pokémon was being overused, and I knew I needed to give Zigzagoon a chance to learn. But I really didn't like the thought of loosing. "Alright, Beautifly, take the stage!" she commanded. Just then the monarch like butterfly appeared out of the pokéball. Glitter fell from it wings as it spun. That reminded me, I really need to groom Zigzagoon. I took a deep breath before tossing my pokéball up into the air.

"Zigzagoon, spot light!" I yelled. He came out pretty plainly and landed on the ground. It wasn't the best entrance, but at least he didn't fall. "Alright Zigzagoon, hurry and use head butt," I called out. He charged forward and jumped into the air, hitting May's Beautifly and knocking it to the ground. "Good job, sand attack now!" I yelled. My pokémon immediately turned to face me while kicking dirt toward Beautifly with its back paws.

"Come on Beautifly, use air cutter!" May exclaimed. Beautifly began to flap its wings fiercely and the air then immediately began to hit Zigzagoon knocking it off its feet. I gasped. I didn't even know that a Beuatifly could learn that move; May obviously read my mind. "Surprised? I learned that move last time I saw you in Sinnoh, I gave this guy some weird shards and he taught it to her for me. It is going to be my secret weapon for beating Drew," she admitted. "Gust now," she called. Once again the wind sent my poor little raccoon tumbling. I frowned, it almost looked like the match was over.

"Zaigzag—" I started. I watched in amazement as he began to glow in this silver light. After a minute it faded and in front of me was a totally different pokémon. I smiled as I took out my pokédex and scanned him.

"Linoone, the rush pokémon. It charges its prey at speed over 60 miles per hour. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails," the recorded voice informed. I smiled as I watched him stand up.

"Alright, come on you can do it Linoone, use tackle," I called. I was completely shocked when it began to run… not just about the speed, but because instead of that weird side to side motion it once used, it moved straight. I smiled as it flew up and hit Beautifly.

"I think we have had enough for now, let's go find those boys okay?" May questioned. I frowned, we would quit as soon as I thought I could win. However, I looked up at the sky and then noticed it had gotten rather dark out. As we came through the clearing I noticed Paul, once again reading his trainer book. "Hey Paul, where is Drew?" May asked. Paul shrugged and went back to his magazine. "You better not have hurt him!" May yelled.

"Yeah Paul, where did he go?" I questioned. I tried to sound a little nicer since May seemed to be getting upset. Paul then sighed and crumbled up his magazine and stood up.

"How would I know? After I pushed him into the lake I left him with that weird trainer," Paul answered. May and I both glanced at each other. I knew for a fact that I didn't know of any weird trainers that Drew would purposely hang around.

"Do you mean Harley?" May questioned. Paul gave her a questionable look. "You know the one who dresses in the pokémon outfit?" May questioned.

"Oh him, no. I forgot what she said her name was. I t didn't really matter to me," Paul admitted. "At any rate, I am headed back to the pokémon center," Paul stated. He then turned his back to us and began to walk away.

"Aren't you going to help us find him?" May questioned. Paul gave her a weird look but then continued to leave. "Jerk!" May yelled.

"Calm down May, I am sure Paul wouldn't just leave him with someone who looked dangerous or something. I bet Drew is fine. He is probably on his way back to the pokémon center as well," I reasoned. May looked at me unconvinced. "Okay, why are you so nervous?" I questioned. She just shook her head and sighed.

"Come on, let's go back to the pokémon center," she exhaled. I smiled a small smile in hopes to encourage her, but I could see through the smile she gave back. Behind the façade she seemed to be crying. Once we got to the pokémon center we said our goodbyes and I headed to the room that Paul and I shared. I really wanted my own, but we didn't have enough money. I opened the door and jumped on the bed without Paul's stuff on it. Needless to say he wasn't there. I looked over and saw the light from under the bathroom.

"Hey Paul," I called. I then began to knock on the door in case he didn't hear me. I heard a faint grunt in response and decided that was good enough. "Hurry up and come out, I have something to show you!" I yelled. This time there was no answer. "Whatever," I muttered. I then looked over and stared at Paul's bag. I always wondered what was in there. When I was with Ash I thought it had pokémon magazine and antidote and other trainer stuff Brock carried for us. However, now nothing was stopping me from looking. I glanced at the door and then back at the bag. "Hey Paul, are you coming out soon?" I questioned.

"Don't you have something to do… a friend you can talk to… or something?" he practically shouted. I frowned at how much he always tried to rid himself of me, but then I would be mad too if he got someone to dump water on my head.

"Yeah, I will go talk to May… bye," I said. I then quickly ran to the door and opened it. Then I waited a few seconds and slammed it harder than necessary. I knew I should check on May, but this would only take a second. I mean he would believe it if I said I forgot something. I carefully tiptoed to the bed and pulled his bag beside me on the floor. I was afraid my weight would make the bed creek. Once comfortable I opened the bag and spread out the items. There were potions, and antidote and all that other stuff Brock carried, but there were a few more things. I held up his badge case and flipped it open. Sure enough, he had all the ones from Sinnoh. I then put it down and opened the next one. It was empty; it must have been the one he was saving for now. I then held up his wallet and peaked inside; unfortunately I didn't realize it was upside down until the change came tumbling out. I quickly got on all fours and began to recollect it. Halfway through the bathroom door opened, and just my luck I was in the middle of the floor holding his wallet. I looked up at him expecting him to snatch it from me, instead I just stared. Paul now stood in front of me practically naked, well except he had on his boxers. After a few seconds he growled something and slammed the bathroom door back. I could have sworn I saw pink… but that wasn't what I was worried about right now. Instead, I just really needed another room to stay in. Without finishing my task I dropped his wallet. Grabbed my pillow and head for May's room. This had to be the most awkward moment of my life. Except maybe that time I was chasing him for my clothes.


Okay, like I said I know it has been a while. But I hope you like this chapter. That reminds me, did anyone notice that I messed up and used third person last chapter.
