A/N: Ok, I know this one's short, but it doesn't match Chapter 19 or 21 at all so deal with it. Besides, this one is a bit...er...they-all-lived-happily-ever-after-ish. That's a change, at least for this story. Hope you enjoy it! Happy Reading!

Chapter 20

May stared at the wall of "her" bedroom. She couldn't sleep, excitement overwhelmed her. Drew was back! He was really back! How long had it been since she'd seen him? It seemed like a lifetime. And now…

"Drew?" May whispered. There was no answer, he was still asleep. He'd been that way ever since they'd come back to Yue's. May remembered the past day's event ever so clearly.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

May helped Drew to his feet. He was a bit shaky and almost fell.

"You can do it, Drew. Come on." May soothed as she helped him stand.

"Hmph. Keep treating me like a baby and you won't be able to walk either, when I'm through with you!" he teased. Instead of a comeback, May smiled. Nothing had changed about Drew, he was just the same as before. Just then, a wail echoed off the cave walls. May and Drew both looked up as Yue ran toward Tok. To their astonishment, she was sobbing as she pulled him into a hug. Then May's eyes looked to Tok's. She gasped: his eyes matched Yue's, sky blue.

"My brother…MY BROTHER!" Yue wailed. Tok, looking dazed, managed to smile. It was then that realization came over May. Gengar was gone. Just as she came to the conclusion, Tok's features were replaced by rainbow colors and, before everyone's eyes; a very different boy replaced them. His hair was the same as Yue's, rust-colored and messy. His eyes were (of coarse) blue. And what he wore was also very different than before. His t-shirt was the exact opposite of Yue's, while hers was white with blue edges; his was blue with white edges. He, too, wore jeans and tennis shoes. May would have taken them for twins, if she had not known that Tok was actually older.

"So…this is the real Tok." Drew whispered. May nodded, and he snickered.

"What?" May asked.

"That was a trick question." Drew answered "the real Tok is a ditto." May laughed.

"That wasn't as cocky as the first comment. Drew, are you out of touch?" Drew raised an eyebrow. He opened his mouth to retort, but was cut off by yet another wail; this one was of distress.

"WHISPER!" May turned her head to see a Vulpix running to the fallen Espeon. May remembered what Whisper had told her about the six pokemon who had been bred with the immunity to the Evil as a failed experiment, including Whisper's own daughter. This must be Flame. May turned her head to see four of the others racing after the Vulpix, but Vesper was not there.

"Whisper, Whisper wake up!" Flame cried. May's horror was reflected in the eyes of the other four. Whisper did not move. And then, to everyone's relief, she stirred.

"Whisper?" the Sentret, that May took to be Slink, asked. The Espeon blinked at him with purple eyes.

"Esp?" the pokemon seemed puzzled as to why everyone was looking at her. Moonlight walked up to her and, for the first time in a long time, spoke with her mouth.

"Absol. Ab. Sol, ab." The Espeon nodded and, with one last weary look around, ran out of the hole in the wall that Yue and Moonlight had created.

"The poor thing…" she spoke in English "I sent her to Slowking for an explanation. She is a pokemon who has been gone before we knew anything about the Evil. Imagine how confusing it must be to be missing several years of your life…" May's eyes widened.

"Then…what about Whisper?" Moonlight turned back to Star, the Dratini among the five.

"I don't know." Moonlight answered. Star's head drooped at the answer to her question.

"She can't be…gone." the Vibrava, Dragonfly, said.

"Sadly, young one, you must never doubt the possibilities." Moonlight whispered.

"But she wasn't evil!" Yue cried in anger "she was one of the rebellion's most trusted…" Yue trailed off as if realizing something.

"What?" May asked.

"Where is the rebellion? All that's left of those who came are Triah, Star, Flame, Dragonfly, and Slink…but where are the others? Mist? Haze? Chatter? I know they were definitely here." May recalled that a few of the rebels that had burst into the cave had not possessed a pokemon. Yue must be referring to them.

"More losses to grieve for." Slink said quietly.

"Vesper. Someone must tell Vesper." Triah added.

"Yeah. But who would have the heart?" Yue asked.

"Nobody." Moonlight replied.

--later--

"Spoof!" Yue cried. Her voice echoed off Slowking's cave. There was no answer. Sorrow clawed at May. Was Spoof really gone too? Drew, who could now somewhat walk on his own, limped deeper into the cave.

"Slowking isn't here," he called "there aren't any Espeon either, Vesper or no." He limped back to Yue and May.

"That's strange…" Yue mumbled. Just then, there was an odd sound close by. It sounded like some kind of pokemon.

"Yue…what was that?" May asked timidly.

"Oh, just a Gastly." Yue said absentmindedly. Then, it dawned on her what she had just said.

"Gastly! What the—" Yue bolted into the woods toward the sound. May and Drew followed close behind.

"I thought you said there weren't any ghost pokemon here!" May called up to her friend.

"That's just it!" Yue replied "There aren't!"

"But how can that—AH!" May nearly crashed into Yue as she had come to an un-predicted stop.

"You trying to kill me?" May cried angrily. Yue stared at what was in front of her with her mouth hanging open.

"Yue? Are you listening to me?" May asked. Yue pointed. May let her gaze follow her finger and gasped.

"Whoa." Drew said in awe. There, in front of them, was a tablet. A big tablet, with three jewels surrounded by writing. All around it Gastly and Haunter seemed to be waking up. Confusion was written all over the faces of those who were awake. But ghost pokemon weren't the only thing there.

"Slowking!" Yue called. Slowking turned his head and smiled, beside him stood two Espeon. One was a bit smaller than the other. The larger of the two turned its head. Its eyes were the regular purple, but with a reddish tint.

"Hello Yue, May. Nice to meet you, Drew."

"W-Whisper?" Yue asked in disbelief. The Espeon nodded. Yue looked around, shock covered her face.

"But…if your Whisper…then…the ghost pokemon are…" As if to finish her sentence, a Gastly floated over to her. It smiled.

"How do I look?"

"SPOOF!" Yue cried "But…how?" Suddenly, May remembered something Mew had said:

"Don't worry about your rebel friends. They walk a different path than Gengar."

"Well," Spoof started "that Haunter over there is Haze. That one is Chatter. That Gastly is Mist…" Spoof trailed off as another Gastly floated up to him, grinning as well. Then he continued, "oh, and here we have Horro."

"Miss me?" Horro asked.

"MISS YOU? I WOULD KISS YOU RIGHT NOW IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE FACT THAT YOU AREN'T SOLID!" Yue cried.

"Everyone accounted for." Slowking said as he trotted up to the group. "Vesper and Whisper are reunited; Spoof and Horro went around finding everyone's names. The whole rebellion's here."

"But, since this is Vesper," Yue gestured toward the smaller Espeon "and this is Whisper. What about the other Espeon?"

"I found her family. They were overjoyed to see her."

"And, Mankey?" Yue asked.

"Still at your house."

"So, all the Red Eyed Evil are gone?" Slowking hesitated.

"…Yes." He finally stated. The way he talked worried May. She felt something in her gut that wasn't right. Why did Slowking hesitate? Wasn't it a simple question? Then, May remembered the tablets that Moonlight had not fully translated.

"Slowking…" she thought "…what are you keeping from us?"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"…What are you keeping from us?" May shook her head to clear her thoughts. She turned over and looked at Drew. He still slept. Her eyes gazed at the clock.

10: 37 PM

She sat up and walked over to Drew's bed. She then lay down on top of the blanket and rested her head on his pillow. She felt more secure when she was closer to Drew…she didn't want to lose him again. She closed her eyes and started to drift off to sleep when she felt movement on the bed.

"You just can't stay away, can you?" Drew teased quietly. May opened her eyes and saw that he had turned to face her. That's when she realized how close he was to her. Then, she felt his lips on hers. After a while, she broke away. She snuggled closer to him and felt his arms wrap around her.

"I have you May. And I'm not letting go."

And then, darkness surrounded her. May was asleep.
