Ch2. Together again
It hadn't taken much for Ash, Brock, and Dawn to track down May. T.V. stations had been following her and her mysterious new travel partner all around Jhoto, and they simply took the ferry to the last place they had seen her, and headed toward the next contest. When they finally caught up with her, they were in a forest clearing.
"Hey May, aren't those your old friends running at us?" May's travel partner pointed behind them and she turned around.
"Huh? Oh Ash, Brock!" She waved jubilantly as the pair approached, not taking notice of Dawn. "I was wondering when you would be getting here." The running trio stopped in front of the pair of coordinators.
"Hey May, and… Drew?" Ash looked at May's green haired companion sharply. "How are you guys?"
Both opened their mouths to say "fine" in unison, which was followed by a reddening of their cheeks, and Dawn bounding forward.
"Aww, how cute, another couple!" she cooed gazing starry eyed upon the two. Both May and Drew looked at the unfamiliar girl, shocked.
"WE ARE NOT!" they shouted with enough force to blow Dawn over.
"Who are you anyway?" May snapped as Dawn got up, her hair blown every which way.
"Ah man!" she began to try to flatten it. "My name is Dawn, and I'm going to be the world's top coordinator!" she declared proudly.
"Top coordinator huh?" Drew said, smirking. "Guess you'll have to get through us then." He flicked his hair, but May turned slightly pink realizing he had just indirectly called her a great coordinator.
"How about a battle right here then?" Dawn pulled out a pokeball, but Brock put a hand on her shoulder.
"Hold it there you guys, don't forget we're here for a reason." Dawn reluctantly returned her Pokeball. "May it seemed like you knew we were coming." He added.
"Huh?" May looked confused, but then jumped, suddenly remembering. "Oh yeah, Misty told us all about the letter and stuff. She went ahead to find some water."
"Misty's—already here?" Ash asked, looking bewildered.
"Yep, sure am!" said a bright voice from behind him. He jumped about a foot in the air.
"Ahhh! Mist, you scared me!" he shouted, but Misty had already turned her attention to Pikachu.
"Hi Pikachu, how have you been?" she said, bending down to the little mouse, which squealed happily and leapt into her outstretched arms. "I bet you are excited to see me."
"Pika!"
"Hey, what about me?" Ash mumbled grumpily.
"Same old Ash and Misty." Brock told Dawn, May, and Drew.
"Um, don't we have somewhere to be?" Everyone looked around at the person who had spoken, which to everyone's surprise was Drew.
"Wait, you're not…" Ash began, but he was cut off.
"Oh yes I am, you're going to need someone as skilled as me around. Plus, wherever May goes, I go. Isn't that how this whole travel companion thing works? I mean you guys were always together." They stared at him at a loss for words, except for Dawn who looked like she might burst. Brock clamped a hand firmly over her mouth. Finally he had a job!
"We still have a long way to go, so let's get to it. I've got to save the future!" Ash beamed and started walking ahead in a kind of army march.
"Guess he's the same modest Ash." May and Misty said together, looking exasperated and sweat dropping. They all started walking after him falling into line.
