Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon. But I do own this story! :D
May sat up in bed and stretched. She thought back to the previous night and glanced over at Drew.
So this wasn't a dream, May thought. Drew seems nice though, if I had a random stranger appear in my room I probably would have freaked out.
May looked over at the clock, seven o'clock, the average time she had to get up and prepare for school. She turned her attention back to Drew.
He looks cute sleeping, May thought smiling, and then let her eyes drift to the window. The sunrise was creating beautiful streaks of colour in the sky.
"Beautiful..." May whispered, while tying her bandana on. "I'll just go out for a quick walk."
Quietly closing the door, she walked to the main entrance of the Pokémon Center.
"Good morning!"
May turned to see a nurse with pink hair and a Pokémon with a matching nurse hat.
"Morning," May replied cheerfully.
"Is this your first time at a Pokémon Center?" the nurse asked. May nodded. "I'm Nurse Joy and this is my partner Chansey."
After a few minutes of Pokémon Center explanation, May noticed a T.V. with an announcer talking. Scenes of different people and what she assumed were Pokemon, were shown as well.
"That was yesterday's Pokémon Contest," Nurse Joy explained. "I have to go do some check ups, but please enjoy your stay."
"Thanks Nurse Joy," May watched as Drew received his ribbon. She turned and headed out the Pokémon Center's doors to wander around Petalburg. After a few minutes of wandering around, May found herself in front of a large building.
"Hello there," a man greeted. "Do you want to become a Pokémon trainer?"
May blinked, did she? This is an amazing opportunity, but am I ready?
Think it over, she gave a quick nod of her head, as her final decision.
"I'm Professor Birch and this is my laboratory. I give new trainers like you in Hoenn their starter Pokémon, a choice of Treeko, Mudkip and Torchic, along with a Pokedex. The Pokedex is a high-tech device that will record information on Pokémon you see and catch. With all my talking, I forgot to ask, what's your name?"
"My name is May, professor."
"Well then May, which starter would you like?" Professor Birch gestured toward the starters. May looked at the three little Pokémon with admiration.
They're all so cute! She thought. Which one? The orange one looks friendliest, I'll pick that one.
She picked up Torchic, "This one... is Torchic right?"
"Right!" Professor Birch nodded. He called Torchic into his pokeball and then handed May a few things. "Here's Torchic's pokeball, a Pokedex and five more pokeballs to let you catch more Pokémon."
"Thanks," May smiled brightly, maybe going into a different world isn't that bad.
"Best of luck on your journey," he replied as May headed out the door.
"May!"
Quickly turning, May spotted Drew running towards her. "Morning, Drew!"
"Where were you? I was looking for you all around town."
"Well, I was just going out for a walk and then things happened and I ended up getting a Torchic?" May squeaked in response. "Sorry to worry you."
"Anyways, I overheard there's a hidden lake by Mauville City." Drew started to explain. "No one can actually find it, but it's rumored that on a night with a full moon, it becomes magical. Most importantly, it called Mirror Lake."
"Really?!" May's eyes widen in shock. Drew nodded. "I need to go there then!"
"Well," Drew mumbled, "I'm going that way for a few contest; if you want you could join me."
"Thanks so much Drew!" May squealed, jumping up and down. Drew just smirked and did a hair flick.
"Here's your bag by the way," Drew said. He threw her bag over to her.
"Thanks, where are going first then?" she asked while putting on her backpack.
"That would be Petalburg Woods."
"Let's go then!"
That was longer than usual...
I already planned out the next few chapters so they'll be coming out soon!
Well, I'm off to watch a few episodes of Pokémon to see May's and Drew's personality, hopefully it might make the story more interesting! :)
I hoped you enjoyed reading my story and have an amazing day!
