Chapter 9
The sunset filtered the sky with an orangey-pink color; The ocean seemed more puple, than blue. May stood on the shore, she looked down at the sandy beach and spotted a pebble next to her shoe. She bent down and picked it up, it was smooth and cold on her fingers. She then threw it out in the ocean. It made a splash that caused some Wingull to fly up into the air.
"I wonder if those belong to this island, or are just unfortunate enough to be passing over…" May wondered aloud.
"No, only two of them, the one on the right lives near me…" Yue said as she pushed a fern out of her path and walked up beside her.
May sighed "how long was I out?"
"A few hours…enough to terrorize Drew." Yue answered.
"What?" May asked, stunned.
"Well, yah. You were torturing him!" Yue giggled "especially when you'd mumble somthin' in your sleep! He'd jump five feet in the air!"
"Oh…" May looked down at her feet.
"You're lucky, you know?" Yue continued "To have a friend like him." May stared in disbelief at the girl…pokemon…friend, that was a simple word for Yue.
"What are you talking about?!" May cried "He teases me, insults me, hmph! I've caught him ignoring me more than once! You call that lucky?"
"He also freaks out when you're hurt." Yue said calmly.
"Name two more reasons I'm lucky and you'll win!" May said.
"He gives you help on contests as I've heard." Yue said.
"Well…yah…"
"And he's honest with you."
"Uh…sure, but"
"He has saved your life…"
"Give me one time he's done that!" May spat.
"Ok, let's see, You're last contest in Kanto…"
"That wasn't for my life that was for my dignity…"
"On Mirage Island from Team Rocket…"
"Uggh! Where do you get this stuff!"
"What else do you think Drew and I were gonna do while you were sleeping the day away, listen to one of Moonlight's 50-year-old stories????" Yue joked.
May sighed "fine, let's get back…"
"You said it, hey, pick up that shell would ya? I'll make you somethin' nice with it…" Yue called as she walked back through the ferns that led to the forest. May looked down to where Yue had pointed. A pink shell lay by her foot, a crack ran down the middle in the shape of a lightning bolt.
"Cool!" May said to herself as she picked it up and ran after Yue.
A/N: That was mostly a Yue and May chapter, but kind of a realization for May that Drew was ok. Sorry if it was a bit short for ya… Review Please, hey I don't ask this much but….you know how it goes.
