A Johto Journey Chapter 5 I'm Never Gonna Let Anything Happen To You
Me: Hey guys!
Drew: It's about time you updated!
Me: Thanks for the nice greeting. Doofus!
Drew: You wanna see a doofus, check the mirror.
Me: Ok now you've crossed the line. You're gonna get it!
May/Soledad: CUT IT OUT!!!!!!!
Me: There you guys are! Where have you been?
May: Shopping.
Soledad: Training.
Drew: No wonder your poke'mon are in such bad shape May.
May: Shut up!!!
Me: Chapter go!
As you know, May and Drew's next destination was Violet City. They were on their way there. They had just left the poke'mon center. May stopped walking when she noticed something while looking at her poke'nav.
"Oh crap." May said looking at her poke'nav.
"What?" Drew asked.
"According to my poke'nav, we have to sail to Violet City." May said.
"Yeah that's a problem." Drew said.
"Wait a second… I know what to do! There's a ship that travels all regions. It's called the St. Anne. (I based some of this chapter on an episode I really like). And I herd that it also stops here at Cherry Grove City and goes to Violet City. And it's free for trainers." May said.
"Really?" Drew asked.
"Yeah, it says so right here in this pamphlet." May said flipping through her pamphlet.
"I'll go ask Nurse Joy when it leaves." Drew said heading into the poke'mon center.
"Ok." May said.
Drew walked into the poke'mon center. He walked up to Nurse Joy.
"Nurse Joy when does the St. Anne stop here?" Drew asked.
"It will be here tomorrow." Nurse Joy said.
"Thanks Nurse Joy." Drew said.
Drew left the poke'mon center and walked up to May. She was training her Wartortle.
"Wartortle use surf!" May commanded.
Wartortle did as told. Unfortunately the surf wasn't powerful enough to make a big wave.
"AW MAN! We keep messing that up!" May said upset.
"You'll get it eventually." Drew said.
"Oh you saw that?" May said a little embarrassed. She hated messing up in front of Drew.
"Yeah. The St. Anne is gonna be here tomorrow." Drew said.
"Ok. Ash went on it once. But there were a lot of team rocket members. All the trainers on the ship had to fight for their poke'mon. Then the ship started sinking! But Ash and the team rocket we know, all got knocked unconscious because they got slammed against the wall when the ship was getting hit by the waves! They managed to get out by making a hole at the top of the ship. Then they used their water poke'mon to get to safety." May told Drew everything. (That's all true by the way. Episode Battle Aboard the St. Anne).
"Ok wow." Drew said.
"I'm gonna spend some more time training." May said running off.
"Ok!" Drew yelled so May could hear him.
May and Drew both spent hours training. Drew stopped training for a while and found a really nice restaurant that he wanted to take May to. He made a reservation. He found May still training in the park.
"Hey May." Drew said walking up to May.
"Hey Drew." May said turning to face Drew.
"How's Wartortle's surf attack doing?" Drew asked.
"Not too good. Wartortle just can't manage to make a big enough wave to cost a descent amount of damage." May said.
"Yeah. Absol had the same problem water pulse. So it's no big deal." Drew said.
"Thanks." May said.
It was getting late in the day. The sun began to set. May and Drew were watching it set. There was silence between the two coordinators until May's stomach broke it. May slightly blushed out of embarrassment.
"Sorry, I skipped lunch." May said.
"In that case let's go." Drew said helping May up.
"Where are we going?" May asked.
"You'll see. But you need to get ready. Something nice, trust me." Drew said heading towards the poke'mon center.
"O…k." May said a little confused.
May and Drew went into their room at the poke'mon center. Drew finished getting ready by the time May finished her shower. Drew knocked on the door.
"May I'll be outside the center training." Drew said.
"Ok." May said.
Drew left the room. May got a green dress with sequins at the top. She had a black choker with a small fake green rose. May took her hair out of its original pigtails and wore it down. She put a single green beret in her hair as well. And to finish she was wearing green high heels. She looked beautiful. May left the poke'mon center to see Drew training his Absol.
"Absol use water pulse!" Drew commanded!
Absol did as told. The attack shot into the sky and practically created a waterfall!
"Hey Drew." May said.
"Hey May. Wow May you look… beautiful." Drew said slightly blushing.
"Thanks." May said also slightly blushing.
"Ready?" Drew asked.
"Yes, so where are we going?" May said still trying to get Drew to tell her.
"Again you'll see." Drew said.
"Fine." May said wishing Drew would just tell her.
May and Drew walked to the restaurant. When May saw it she was in shock.
"Wow Drew this place is amazing!" May said gazing at the restaurant.
The restaurant was as big as a hotel!
"So, is this a date?" May asked.
"If you want it to be." Drew said blushing.
"Um, sure." May said also blushing.
"Ok." Drew said.
"YES!!!" May and Drew thought at the same time.
May and Drew went into the restaurant. It was incredibly fancy. May and Drew ordered their dinner. May ordered noodles, her favorite. Drew ordered a steak. They were talking almost the whole time. They were actually having a conversation without fighting for once. They finished eating. May reached into her purse.
"May we don't have to pay." Drew said.
"What?" May asked confused.
"This place is free for coordinators." Drew said.
"Oh ok." May said.
May and Drew went back to the poke'mon center. Nurse Joy walked up to them as they walked in.
"May you have a call from home." Nurse Joy said walking up to May and Drew.
"Another one? My mom must be really worried thinking I'm traveling by myself. Thank-you Nurse Joy." May said walking up to the videophones.
"Hi May how are you?" Norman asked.
"Oh! Hi dad. I'm doing fine." May said.
"Why are you wearing a dress?" Norman asked suspicious.
"OH CRAP!!! Um I went to restaurant. I really nice one. But I went by myself." May lied panicking.
"Oh ok. Just checking on you sweetie." Norman said.
"I'm doing fine dad. Just on my own, not a big deal." May said still worried.
"Ok. But promise me you didn't just go on a date." Norman said.
"Of course not dad. I mean who would I go with?" May said.
"There's that Drew your mom was telling me about. And you seem to like him." Norman said.
"What makes you say that!? You haven't even met him before." May said.
"He's given you roses before right?" Norman asked.
May just nodded yes. There was no point in trying to hide it. Her dad already knew.
"Did you except them?" Norman asked.
May didn't know what to say. So she had to make something up quick!
"Well what was I supposed to do? He had his Flygon deliver the flowers that I got when I came home." May said.
"Then why do you still have the ribbon and the box?" Norman asked getting really suspicious.
"Um I'm gonna go to bed. Night dad." May said as she hung up the phone real fast.
May went into her and Drew's room. May was worried that her dad was going to figure everything out.
"So what'd your mom have to say?" Drew asked.
"Actually that was my dad. Don't worry I convinced him that I went to a nice restaurant alone when he saw me in the dress. But then he saw that I still had the flowers you sent me, and I didn't throw away the box or the ribbon." May said panicking at the last part.
May realized she just told Drew she kept everything. She started blushing from a lot of embarrassment.
"Ok. Yeah from that reaction you had that one morning, I'm glad you didn't tell him." Drew said.
"Yeah." May said.
The next morning…
MAY'S POV.
Drew and I headed to the docks. I was a little nervous getting on the same ship Ash and Brock almost died in. But I knew I was safe with Drew. Drew and I got on the ship. Diamond had flown out on her Pigeot so she was on the ship too. She spotted Drew and I.
"Hey guys!" Diamond said running up to Drew and I.
"Diamond!" Drew and I said surprised to see her.
"Long time no see! What are you guys doing here?" Diamond asked.
"We're gonna go to Violet City. This ship was the only way there." I said.
"Oh ok. I came for the cruse. Just taking a little break." Diamond said.
"Cool." I said.
"Destiny told me what happened at Cherry Grove City. I can guarantee you, I see Jerkly for one nanosecond and he dies!!!!!" Diamond said.
"I believe you." I said.
"I was thinking about entering the contest, but the rules of the contest say that you have to enter with a bug type." Diamond said.
"Really?" I said.
"Yeah, but I don't have bug type so I can't enter. I wish I could just catch one, but the contest is way too soon. Even if I did catch one I'd never have it ready for the contest in time." Diamond said.
"Man! I was hoping to battle you." I said disappointed Diamond couldn't enter.
"Well, there's a battle field on the ship." Diamond said.
"I would, but after a huge battle on this ship it started sinking. And Ash and Brock almost died." I said.
"Oh my gosh! I can understand. Just so you know there's also a training area. It's just past the cafeteria." Diamond said.
"I'll be over there." Drew said headed to the training area.
Diamond and I talked the whole time Drew was in the training area. It was starting to get late. It was around 11:00 p.m. Drew was asleep, but I couldn't manage. After hearing what had happened to Ash and Brock a long time ago, I was a little scared to be on the same ship. I got up and looked out the window. There was a storm coming in. Now I was really scared. I felt like I was always putting Drew in danger. It was my idea to get on the ship! And now there was a storm coming. And with Harley wanting to kill me I felt really bad. I knew Drew would do just about anything for me. I didn't want him getting hurt because of me. I got back into bed and turned on my I-pod. I was playing a song called Every Part of Me. It explained how I felt about traveling with Drew. I didn't want to stop traveling with him, but I didn't want to put him in danger either. I was really confused. And I was worried about my friends and family finding out. I didn't want them to know, but I hated lying to them. I felt like a completely different person. I just didn't know if it was good or bad.
Oh. I feel like I'm a million miles away, from myself more and more these days. I've been down.
So many open roads, but they lead me home. I now I just don't know who I really am. How it's gonna be.
Is there something that I can't see? I wanna understand. Maybe I will never be who I was before.
Maybe I don't even know her anymore. Maybe who I am today, ain't so far from yesterday.
Can I find a way to be, every part of me. So I'll try, try to sort things out. Find myself, get my feet back on the ground.
It'll take time, but I know I'll be alright. 'Cause nothing much has changed on the inside.
It's hard to figure out how it's gonna be. 'Cause I don't really know now. I wanna understand.
Maybe I will never be who I was before. Maybe I don't even know her anymore.
Maybe who I am today, ain't so far from yesterday. Can I find a way to be, every part of me yeah.
I don't wanna wait to long. To find out where I'm meant to belong. I've always wanted to be where I am today.
But I never thought I'd feel this waaaaay. Maybe I will never be who I was before.
Maybe I don't even know her anymore. Maybe who I am today, ain't so far from yesterday.
Can I find a way to be, every part of me. Every part of me.
I had fallen asleep as my song played. Almost immediately after I fell asleep I felt someone shaking me.
"May wake up!!!" Drew yelled shaking me.
"What!?" I asked concerned.
"You're gonna freak out when I tell you this, but the ships sinking!!!" Drew said.
"Cover your ears this might be loud. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I said/screamed!
"Hurry and grab your poke'mon and your stuff!" Drew said.
We grabbed all of our poke'mon. Drew was attaching his to his belt, and I was putting mine in my bag. We were running while doing it. People were running to the life rafts. The ship got hit by a wave and caused Drew and I to drop our poke'mon!!!! My Blazikin and his Roselia's poke'balls were rolling away!
"Blazikin!" I said running after my poke'mon!!
"Roselia!" Drew said doing the same.
We caught up to our poke'balls and grabbed them. But another wave hit the ship! Drew and I were slammed against the wall!!! We were both knocked unconscious!!!!
END POV.
Everyone except May and Drew made it off the ship. The ship turned upside down and began to sink!!! Once everyone got to shore, Officer Jenny went through the records of everyone that got on the ship and saw that May and Drew weren't there.
"Officer Jenny have you seen May and Drew?" Diamond asked extremely worried.
"I looked everywhere and… they're not here." Officer Jenny said feeling terrible for May and Drew.
"No." Diamond said with tears in her eyes.
Officer Jenny took a bouquet of flowers from another officer and walked up to the water.
"Just about everyone made it to safety. Sadly two passengers were unable to make it off the ship. Their names, May and Drew. We can only hope they're in a better place." Officer Jenny said as she put the flowers in the water.
All of Drew's fan girls there were crying, and all May's fan boys were trying to hold it in. Diamond was crying, but she stopped knowing she HAD to do something.
"Officer Jenny I'm going to go look for them." Diamond said.
"Diamond you can't. The ship sank in an area where there are countless whirlpools. And it's the same place where people have supposedly seen a giant Octilery. It's far too dangerous." Officer Jenny said.
"I'm going after them whether you like it or not!!" Diamond said letting out her Pigeot and getting on it.
"Good luck." Officer Jenny said quietly watching her fly away to look for May and Drew.
"May wake up." Drew said trying to wake May up.
"Huh?" May said finally opening her eyes.
"Thank god. You're ok." Drew said helping May up.
"What happened?" May asked.
"Look out the window that'll answer your question." Drew said.
May looked out the window and saw a bunch of water poke'mon. She could only see water and the poke'mon.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" May yelled freaking out!
"If you don't stop doing that I'm gonna go def!" Drew said covering his ears.
"This isn't the time!!!" May yelled!
"How are we going to get out of here?" Drew asked.
"I have no idea!!!!! It still amazes me how you can manage to not show any sign of losing it!" May said still freaking out.
"That because I'm NOT losing it. Unlike somebody." Drew said referring to May.
"Knock it off! Or I'm breaking the window throwing you out and the sealing it back up!!!!!!" May said. (You can probably tell that she's officially lost it. LOL)!
"Window…that's it!" Drew said thinking of an idea.
"You're right. Ash, Brock, and Misty, I always forget her. They all got out by making a hole at the top of the boat and having their water poke'mon help them out." May said remembering what Ash told her.
"That might work! You have your Wartortle right?" Drew asked.
"Yeah. Ok let's get to the top of the ship." May said.
May and Drew finally reached the top of the ship.
"Ok I'll use Blazikin and you use your Flygon." May said.
"Oh crap!" Drew said.
"What?" May asked.
"Nurse Joy has my Flygon!" Drew said.
"WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?" May yelled shocked and scared at the same time.
"When we were training Flygon's wings got hurt while battling Roselia. So I left it with Nurse Joy!" Drew said.
"Witch Nurse Joy?" May asked.
"The one that's works at the center in Violet City. And why does it matter?" Drew asked.
"Because if we get to Violet City we know your Flygon will be there." May said.
"Yeah if we get there. Effaces on IF!!!" Drew said/yelled.
"Don't even say that! May yelled.
May let out her poke'mon.
"Blazikin use over heat!" May commanded!
Blazikin did as told. They made a huge hole in the top of the ship. Water started poring in!!!!!!! May and Drew attached a rope to Wartortle and tied the other ends to their waists.
"Ready?" May asked.
"Yeah." Drew said.
"Wartortle let's go!" May said.
May and Drew held their breath as Wartortle swam out of the ship. They finally reached the surface of the water.
"You ok May?" Drew asked.
"I'm fine. Let's try and find some land." May said.
"Ok." Drew said.
May's Wartortle helped them find some land. After a while they finally saw a small island. Just when May was about to say something she felt something touch her ankle!
"What the… AHHH!" May screamed as she was dragged underwater!!
"May!!" Drew dove under along with Wartortle.
There was a huge Octilery that had a hold of May's whole leg!
Wartortle used ice beam on the Octilery! Octilery was frozen solid! Drew grabbed May and swam to the surface of the water. Wartortle came up as well.
"Thanks Drew." May said.
"Sure. Let's get out of here." Drew said.
May and Drew finally reached the small island that they had spotted.
"Land sweet land!!" May said as they stepped on a beach area.
"That Octilery's tentacle must have hit you in the head." Drew said.
"Do you think anyone lives here?" May asked trying to ignore what Drew had just said.
"I doubt it." Drew said.
"I'll see if my poke'nav knows where we are." May said getting out her poke'nav.
The poke'nav turned on. It located where May and Drew were. But there was no name or anything. Just a small island near Violet city.
"There's good news and bad news." May said.
"What?" Drew asked.
"The bad news is this island has no name." May said.
"And the good news is?" Drew asked.
"This island is pretty close to Violet city, but I'm not sure witch way to go." May said.
"That's ok." Drew said.
May and Drew set up camp. They grabbed all their stuff back on the ship. Most of the stuff was dry, but their sleeping bags were still wet.
"Aw man!!!" May said.
"What?" Drew asked.
"Our sleeping bags are still wet." May said.
"Great." Drew said sarcastically. (No duh!)
May and Drew were sitting on a tree stump.
"Drew… I'm sorry." May said.
"What?" Drew asked confused.
"It was my idea to get on the St. Anne. It's my fault we're in this mess." May said feeling terrible.
"None of this is your fault May." Drew said.
"I just feel like I'm always putting you in danger." May said.
"You're not May." Drew said.
"Ok." May said still feeling bad.
"Hey May…" Drew started when he realized May had fallen asleep. Her head was resting on his shoulder.
"Never mind." Drew said quietly.
May and Drew slept that way for the rest of the night. The next morning Drew was the first to wake up. When he tried to get up he realized May was laying on his lap.
"May time to get up and off of me." Drew said shaking May.
"Five more minutes dad." May said half asleep.
"Not again." Drew thought.
"May you have to get up now." Drew said shaking her again.
"What am I laying on?" May asked as she slowly opened her eyes.
She realized she had fallen asleep on Drew.
"AH!!" May yelled as she fell off Drew and hit the ground.
"Good morning to you too." Drew said helping her up.
"Sorry I fell asleep on you." May said blushing.
"It's ok." Drew said.
"So how are we going to get off the island?" May asked.
"I have no idea." Drew said.
All of a sudden May herd a ring.
"My phone!" May said.
"You have your phone!" Drew yelled at May.
"In my defense it was berried at the bottom of my bag." May said.
"MAY!!!!!!!!!!" Drew yelled.
"It's Diamond! I'll put her on speaker. Hello?" May said/answered.
"Diamond?" Drew said.
"MAY! DREW!! You guys are ok!" Diamond said happy they were alright.
"Yeah were fine." May said.
"Where are you!?!?" Diamond asked still a little worried.
"We're not sure. There's a small island near Violet City. It doesn't have a name according to my poke'nav, but that's where we are." May said.
"I think I know where you guys are. I'm on my way." Diamond said.
"Ok thanks Diamond." May said hanging up her cell phone.
Diamond tried to find May and Drew. She was having a lot of trouble.
"Pigeot do you see an island anywhere?" Diamond asked getting really worried.
Pigeot nodded no sadly.
"Hang on May and Drew. Just hang on." Diamond said quietly.
Pigeot was looking around when it spotted something in the water. It stopped flying for a moment.
"What is it Pigeot?" Diamond asked.
"Pige Pigeot!" Pigeot pointed at a red spot in the water.
"What the?" Diamond said.
All of a sudden a huge red tentacle shot out of the water! It started creating a whirlpool! Diamond and Pigeot were being sucked in!!!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Diamond screamed!!!!
"A giant Octilery. To think I used to think that was a tall tale. I hope it doesn't attack Diamond." May said.
"Even if does Diamond can handle it." Drew said.
"You're right." May said.
"Pigeot hang on!" Diamond yelled!
Pigeot was doing it's best to stay in the air!
"Good thing I traded with Destiny yesterday." Diamond said putting a piece in her mouth that would let her breathe underwater. (These things don't really exist unless it's part of scuba gear. But they use them on TV).
Diamond dove into the water and let out her sisters Gastrodon. She pointed at the giant Octilery. Gastrodon understood what Diamond wanted and attacked the giant Octilery. Octilery was knocked out. Diamond swam to the surface and got back on her Pigeot. She finally found a small island near Violet City. She finally spotted May and Drew.
"May! Drew!" Diamond yelled as she ran up to them.
"Diamond!!!" May and Drew yelled incredibly glad to see her.
"I'm so sorry it took me so long. I got attacked by a giant Octilery!" Diamond said.
"So did we." May said.
"Ok let's get out of here." Diamond said.
"Thanks Diamond." Drew said.
"No problem." Diamond said.
May, Drew, and Diamond all got on Pigeot. May was a little worried about being attacked again. There was a storm coming in.
"Another storm! REALLY!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?" May yelled.
"The weather around this area can be really unpredictable and dangerous. We need to hurry. Pigeot step on it!!!!" Diamond said.
Pigeot picked up speed.
"AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" May screamed as she nearly got hit with a huge red tentacle!!!!
"Pigeot hurry!!!!" Diamond yelled.
The red tentacle from the giant Octilery started making a whirlpool!!!! May started to get sucked in!!! Drew grabbed her just in time!!
"Drew! I think I can get us out of this! I can use Wartortle's surf attack!" May said.
"No way May!!! Wartortle's surf isn't ready!!!" Drew said.
"Drew please!" May begged.
"NO!!!! May something could happen." Drew said.
"But…" May started.
"I'm never gonna let anything happen to you!" Drew said looking into May's sapphire eyes.
"Drew you have to trust me." May said looking into Drew's emerald eyes.
Drew knew he had to trust May, but he didn't want anything to happen to her! He clenched his teeth and closed his eyes. He finally let go!
"Wartortle use surf!!!!!!!!!!!" May yelled as she threw the poke'ball!!
So, May, Drew and Diamond are attacked by a giant Octilery. Drew barely had the strength to let May go. Will she survive!? Find out next chapter!!!
Me: Done!
May: HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GONNA DO THIS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Me: Do what?
May: Make us wait.
Drew: I swear! When are you gonna make the next chapter?
Me: As soon as possible. Duh!
Soledad: She's gonna live right?
Me: You'll see.
