Chapter 2: May, Max, Drew, Harley, Solidad


PART MAY/PART MAX

May Maple chomped on her cereal happily, swining her legs and bouncing her head back and forth. Today was a good morning.

"May, Sweetie." Her mother, Caroline, adressed her. May knew that tone, it never ment well. "I want you to watch Max. We have a lot of gym matches today." May nodded at her mother, showing she understood.

Caroline rushed around the kitchen, cleaning up. She kissed May on the cheek and Max on the forehead."Take Care!" She called, "There's food in the fridge! We won't be back until late tonight!" She grabbed her car keys and rushed to the door. "Don't forget to heat the bottles for twenty seconds!" She said, shutting the door behind her.

After the hum of the car was far away and unheard, May got up to put her dishes away. "Yes, Mom." She whispered softly to herself, rinsing out her dish.

She walked to the living room and sat next to her toddler brother, who was sitting in his baby swing. She brought out her paper and crayons. She scribbled on her paper until there was a giant pink blob in the center of the paper. She held up the paper to Max and watched him as he smiled. May crawled around to sit next to him so they could both see the picture.

May's face twisted into confusion. On her paper was an abused looking pokemon, floating limply on the paper.

May had tears streaming down her face as she set the picture back down. She turned to see her brother sniffing, like he was going to cry, too. "We'll save it!" She cried, reassuring her brother, "We'll definitely save it!"

She ran to the kitchen and packed up all of the meals and bottles her mother had premade them. She changed herself and Max out of their pajamas and into suitable traveling clothes, sticking Max's glasses on.

"Let's go!" She announced, holding Max's hand and leading him out onto the sidewalk.

PART DREW

Drew dreamed of a pink pokemon. It was lifeless on the ground, surrounded by various children of different ages. He saw a young girl with light brown hair holding a younger boy's hand sobbing loudly. "What do we do now?" She cried, shaking her head.

He awoke with a start. It was a warm day and Drew had been napping in his mother's rose garden.

Drew grabbed his still sleeping Budew and walked through the garden, through his house, and out onto the streets. He sneaked past one of the LaRousse robots and left town completely. He walked quickly through the routes, using his Budew to fend off any wild pokemon. He was off in search of that pokemon, following his heart.

PART HARLEY/PART SOLIDAD

Solidad happily fed her caterpee. She used some of Harley's home made pokemon food, her caterpee seemed to like it better than what she made herself. She left the rest of the food in a bowl and turned around to sit at Harley's foldable table. After Harley finished feeding his Cacnea, he joined her.

Both Harley and Solidad had started their jorney just months ago. They had met each other at the Battle Tower as partners. They then became traveling partners. They both enjoyed contests and grand festivals, so they were always headed in the right direction. They had only been traveling for a few months, so they each only had the pokemon they started with.

Solidad picked up her bowl of rice and examined the burnt pieces. "I'm cooking next time." She declared, showing him her bowl.

Harley laughed, "Sure, Sweetie, sure." He said, dismissing the subject.

Solidad laughed with him before their vision went away completely. Harley dropped his bowl of rice. They both gasped as a pink pokemon came into their vision. It was damaged badly and gave a soft 'Mew' as it dissapeared.

Solidad and Harley packed quickly and ran into Petalburg, where they were going to enter a contest. They needed a few supplies before they set off to find that pokemon.


Thank You for whoever accually read this far of such a bad starting story. I can't promise it'll get better as time goes by, but I'll try my very best!
