Chapter XVI: May's Rival
Brendan found the nearest Pokemon Centre to get his Pokemon healed first. It was sunset, and Brendan knew that May would expect him here. So he had another plan, another plan to stay the hell away from her…
"Excuse me," Brendan asked Nurse Joy after she turned on the on switch to the machine that heeled Pokemon. "May you tell me where the Battle Tent is," he asked.
"Well, you sign up there at the place, plus it doesn't start until tomorrow, and the place is closed," she said while looking at him suspiciously. Brendan had to think up of a plan quickly, and then one popped in his head afterwards.
"Well, I wanted to sleep outside the Battle Tent tonight," he said. "See, there's this fan girl, she's been chasing me my entire Pokemon Journey. Her name is…uh…oh Jamie, and she's been looking for me now since I decided to ditch her here in the city," he continued. "I just want to get away from her…"
"Well that's rude," Nurse Joy said. "You will go sit in that lobby, and make sure that this girl, May see's you, so you can tell her yourself," she said.
"But Nurse Joy, I told her to get away from me more than 10 million times, she won't get away…" he said while getting into his little lie.
"Well, you can tell her the 10 millionth and one time can't you," she said.
"I said more than 10 million," Brendan corrected.
"Whatever," she said. "Just sleep here in the center tonight," she said while the machine clicked off, and his Pokemon were complete. "Look, I'll cover for you if you rent a room here. But I'm also going to have to fill up all the rooms I can. And there's only 2 full rooms left," she said. "Can you believe how booked we are tonight," she asked.
"Whatever," Brendan said. "Look, how much is it to rent a room," he asked.
"Well…2000P," she said while smiling with her eyes closed.
"For a damn room," Brendan shouted.
"Well, the mayor is raising the prices since all the entrepreneurs at the shop vendors are making more money," she said. "And…the winner of a Battle Tent and Pokemon Contest wins half a million Poke," she said.
"Really," Brendan asked while a golden P was in his eyes. "Well, if that's the case," Brendan said while pulling out his wallet, and 2000P. "So uh…Nurse Joy, you think you could hook me up with some of that prize money…" he asked.
"Well, if I did that, I'd be fired, no one would like me, and, and I'd have your bean bags for that," she said.
"Well, are there any special rules to it," Brendan asked.
"Maybe if you went to bed, woke up on time the next morning, and made it to the tent on time, you'll find out the rules," she said while handing his key card.
"Room…oh that's great," Brendan said while taking his key and walking to his room…
"Brendan," May yelled for her friend as she walked all around the Battle Tent. "Damn, he's not here," she said as she went to look elsewhere. "Brendan come on out." Then she decided to try to go into the Battle Tent, but it was closed for tomorrow. After that she went next door to the Pokemon Contest hall, where that as well was closed, but Brendan wasn't around it.
"That's the last time I take advise from so stupid ass captain," May said while going to the Pokemon Center. "Wait, I know, I have Brendan's PokeGear number," she said. She picked up her PokeGear, dialed his number, but all she got was a…
"Sorry, the great Pokemon Master Brendan isn't in, and is probably whooping ass at the moment I speak. Please leave a message after the tone." Said Brendan's PokeGear dial tone. May then just hung up, and headed to the Pokemon Centre…
"What kind of room number is 666," Brendan asked himself out loud while approaching his door. He opened it with his key, and then took a look around the room. He saw that it was red, and the there were two fireplaces; one beside the bed, and another under the television set.
"Now this is a bit too ironic," Brendan said. He took a seat on the bed; all of a sudden it burst out…
Spirits of the Netherworld, I hereby declare this soul who shall be sleeping on your evilness bed yours forever and forever more it said. Brendan took a look at this thing, then saw that it was a satanic whoopee cushion under the mattress.…
May walked into the Pokemon Center. "I'd like a room for two please," May said, just in case…
"Would you mind if the room already had a boy in it," the Nurse asked.
"What's he look like, May asked.
"Well, the trait I noticed most was that he had white hair…" Nurse Joy said, but May was already down the hallway.
"Brendan," May yelled as she ran through the halls of rooms. "Brendan, Brendan where are you," she asked.
"He's up your ass," some guy yelled while poking his head out the door of his room. "Go play in traffic or something," he said while slamming the door. May still went to search for him.
"Brendan, oh come on where are you…" all of a sudden, a nice big brown boot hit May right in the face.
"Go to sleep you stupid bitch," a girl said while grabbing the boot. "I have a huge triathlon tomorrow, and you ranting for your man isn't helping me sleep, now is it?" she asked while going back into the room. May just stood up and looked at the room a few doors down.
"What kind of room number is 666," May asked while looking at it. All of a sudden, a face with hazel colored eyes and white hair poked out of the room door.
"Exactly what I said when I came here," he said while smiling at her. May smiled back at him, and gave him a nice hug. Afterwards, they realized what they were doing, and snapped away from each other.
"So…um…Brendan," May started.
"No need to apologize or thank me, I just did what I needed to do for you," Brendan said.
"No, I mean this room only has one bed," she said while pointing to his bed.
"Oh, well, we'll work something out," he said while smiling to her.
"And thank you for protecting me back at the museum." She said while lightly pecking him on the cheek. After a little moment of waiting, May lightly choked Brendan. "Tell a single soul, and I'll take yours away, we clear," she said silently.
"Crystal," he said while smiling with his eyes closed. "A peck on the cheek," Brendan thought. "St, I saved her ass, she should reward me further for my services." He thought as May walked into the room…
That night, May slept on the bed, and Brendan slept on the sofa. The two couldn't sleep because of the satanic noises under the bed (which pissed Brendan off a lot and he found out it was a machine, so he broke it). The next morning, May and Brendan got ready quickly, and headed out the door so that they could go sign up for their separate events.
"Well, I'll sign up for the Battle Tent, you sign up at the Contest Hall, and since mine doesn't start until 3 o'clock, and yours ends at three, I'll meet you there," Brendan said.
"Okay then," May said. It was ironic on how the Battle Tent and the Contest Hall were right across the street from each other. "So…see you in a bit?"
"Yeah," Brendan said while turning and heading to his Battle Tent. May just shrugged her shoulders and stepped inside the Pokemon Contest Hall. When she got in, she saw a bunch of odd machines with people beside them. She looked down to a compartment in the big machine, and saw some multi-colored blocks coming out of them. May walked in complete confusion to the front desk.
"Um…hi, I'm May. I wanted to sign up for the Pokemon Contest here," she said while smiling nervously. The woman typed something on her computer, then smiled at May.
"Okay, so what's your name kid," she asked.
"I just told you, I'm May," she said.
"And…how do you spell that," she asked while looking at May in confusion. May just stared at her dully for a while.
"Hey you in the front, just tell the stupid ditz how to spell your name and get it over with, damn," a male voice said from behind her. May turned to see the boy who said that. The boy had green hair, and emerald eyes. He was wearing a long sleeve black shirt with a purple button shirt over it, light green pants, and dark green shoes (if you don't know who this is, you're an airhead). "Let's go hurry up…"
"Why don't you shut your trap you…you asswipe," she yelled to him.
"Look, just tell me how do you spell your name; fight with your boyfriend some other time," the girl at the front desk said.
"MY BOYFRIEND," May interjected. "I JUST MET THE GUY…"
"Not my problem," she said. "Oh, I figured out how to spell May, so what's your last name?" She asked. May just sighed and spelled out her last name. Then she checked out the Contest lobby after signing in was done.
"You look like a newbie, so I just wanted to give you this," a woman said while handing May something that looks like a PEZ candy dispenser only cubed, and had a Pokeball symbol at the top.
"This here is a Pokeblock Case." She said. "It lets you store Pokeblocks you created by the Berry Blenders, over there," she said while pointing to May the big machine things she saw from before.
"Thank you," May said while going over to one of the berry blenders. She saw the green kid from before putting in all sorts of berries, and then mixed them together to make these little blocks come out. She saw him pull out a Pokeblock case as well, and put the blocks in the case. She saw in black letters the boy's name, Drew. Before she could walk up to "Drew," Brendan walked into the Contest Hall with a big dent in his face, and blood coming out of his mouth. May saw this, and rushed over to Brendan.
"Oh my Mewtwo, are you okay," she said while holding him up.
"Yeah, my mouth is in slight pain, but I'm okay," Brendan said while spitting out a tooth afterwards.
"What happened?" she asked him. Brendan struggled for words, then he finally came out.
"I was hitting on the lady at the front desk," he said slowly and softly. "But then, her diesel Spanish boyfriend Ricardo came in and knocked my lights out," he said even slower and more softly. May would have dropped him, but everyone was watching them, and he was just a boy, all guys did that to girl's right. Well, on second thought, only straight guys.
"Did you sign up for the Battle Tent," she asked.
"Yeah, I started flirting with her after she signed me in though," he said. "But she was some of a ditz; she couldn't spell Maple," he said a little faster. Drew came over to the two in curiosity.
"We've got to clean you up, that dent in your face is so not gonna work," Drew said in a feminine way. Brendan looked up to Drew. He had green hair, what a weirdo! And he was gay, man this wasn't gonna work for Brendan. All of a sudden, there was stomping noises outside, and Ricardo came bursting in.
"Where's the low-life scum who was trying to get some from my woman," he asked in a Spanish accent. As if on quo, May and Drew hid Brendan under a chair, and put their legs in front of him. For added hiding, Drew took off his purple shirt and put it over Brendan's head.
"Hmm…for a faggot, he sure does smell nice," Brendan thought while smiling. "Wait a minute, what the hell am I saying, or thinking technically. Man, I gotta start hanging with May more," he thought while he looked up.
"Have you two children seen a boy with white hair, wearing black and red, and owns a yellow backpack," Ricardo asked angrily. May was about to answer, but all of a sudden, a man who was pretty chubby, and had hair on the side of his head and none on the top came in the contest hall, and winked at everybody he saw.
"Who do you think you are, just barging in here when I'm angry," the man shouted.
"Don't get that tone of voice at me," the man shouted. "I'm Dr. Phil bitch," he said while brushing his shoulder off. All the women and gay guys in the arena (Drew clapped slightly) clapped for the doctor as he approached the big Spanish guy.
"Sir, just give me 5 minutes with you, and your life will change forever," Dr. Phil said while looking at the man.
One hour later…
"I miss my pet hamster Chachi," Ricardo cried in Dr. Phil's arms. "You know what, I'm gonna go take off my clothes, and skip through Petalburg Woods, just like I've always wanted," he said. "Thank you Dr. Phil," he said while shaking his hand and going leaving the center. Everyone clapped, and Dr. Phil just exited while winking at everyone.
"Great, another naked person to strip though the Woods," Brendan said while coming out from under the seat good as new.
"But weren't you beat up just now," May asked.
"Well, having Dr. Phil ranting on really helped my wounds," Brendan said while wiping dust off of his shoulder. After 25 minutes, Brendan went to sit in the audience to watch May and Drew in the contest. After a few losers went, May was up, and she pulled Taillow out of its Pokeball. Brendan saw May sigh, and then look onward.
"Okay Taillow," she said. "Use Gust attack, and spin in circles," she said. Taillow started spinning around while using Gust, which eventually made a tornado in the Contest Hall.
"Now use Rain Dance, and then fly straight into the tornado," May commanded. Taillow somehow made rain fall into the arena, but it was cool because all the droplets were going into the tornado. This occurred for a little bit more, and the tornado was getting stronger.
"Oh look," the Pokemon Contest woman said. "May has created a tornado, then have lun…I mean, her Taillow have rain fly into the tornado while he's inside of it himself. Very Unique." She said.
"Now Taillow, Wing attack," May commanded. Taillow's wings glowed white inside the tornado, but after a bit, Taillow started turning white on its entire body. "No way," May said silently.
"It's evolving," Brendan asked while sitting up straight. The tiny bird inside the tornado grew bigger and taller while inside. Then, only it's wings (that were larger now) were still growing. The bird Pokemon flew out of the tornado, and he pushed his wings against it, breaking the tornado and the Rain Dance. Now there was a sparkling sensation in the arena, as a light breeze and tiny water droplets fell onto everyone in the arena. May had a standing ovation from everyone in the crowd. Brendan pulled out his Pokedex for more on May's new Pokemon.
"Swellow, the Swallow Pokemon," it started. "This Pokemon is the evolved form of Taillow. Swellow flies high above our heads, making graceful arches in the sky. This Pokemon dives at a steep angle as soon as it spots it's prey. The helpless prey is tightly grasped by Swellow's clawed feet, preventing escape." the Pokedex said.
"That was a wonderful performance from the rookie May, now let's take a look from the judges panel." The contest lady said. Brendan and everyone else took a look at the judge's panel, and saw in a row: 9.8-9.8-9.5. "And May's final score is…29.1! An excellent score indeed," the woman said. Everyone gave their clapping for May once more, and then some more losers came to fight. Drew had a Roselia (Roselia, the Thorn Pokemon. Roselia shoots thorns as projectiles to any opponent who tries to steal the flowers on its arms. The aroma of this Pokemon brings serenity to living things. Said the Pokedex), and it kicked some ass in the competition (you think up of stuff right now, I have other parts of the chapter to focus on). After they appearance portion of the contest, four coordinators out of 30 were aloud to continue to the semi-finals, which were battling.
"Ha, I knew that they couldn't have completely taken away Pokemon battles," Brendan said. The four coordinators were Dylan, Shannon, Drew, and May!
"Everyone give the coordinators a round of applause," the girl said. Everyone clapped for a four of the ones on there (but from Brendan's view, May looked nervous; and he could look at Shannon correctly, even though it wasn't that Shannon), and then they got ready for the battles yet ahead. This was also a little break time for the audience to use the restroom, buy snacks, yada yada. Brendan headed to the back room where May was to congratulate her.
"Um…gee thanks," May said while blushing.
"No, I mean it," Brendan said. "Swellow just made a whooshing sensation and…" Brendan stopped when he saw Drew. "Well, I'll leave the Pokemon Coordinators alone," he said while leaving the room. Brendan then just walked up to the main lobby, then to the restroom. When he walked inside, the door shut, the lights turned off, and Brendan's stomach was tied to the wall.
"Damn," Brendan said. "I'm getting kidnapped!" he yelled.
"No you're not kidnapped," a familiar voice said. "Just taken against your will."
"Are you the old lady from Route 104 North," Brendan asked.
"No, I'm…" the voice said.
"Kobe," Brendan asked. "I'm not trying to quote anyone, but I didn't think that an all time basketball player like you could turn to the fruity side…" Brendan said.
"No, I'm…" the voice said getting annoyed.
"Oh, you're my imaginary friend from 1st grade, I remember when you told me that you'd kidnap me and that you'd kill me after you had your way with me, whatever that meant…" Brendan said.
"No!" the voice yelled. "It's Dr. Phil," he said while walking out of the shadows and a faint light came on. "I've taken you here for one reason and one reason only," he said while unzipping his pants…
Aha, I made a cliffhanger on you folks. Ha ha, so, who thinks they know what Dr. Phil's gonna do to Brendan? I didn't know that Phil McGraw was on the fruity side? Anyway, give me more reviews, and tell me if you wanna piss on my story or you wanna marry it or something. Cause I want, and I ought to know. So tell me…NOW! You cannot resist the power of the shiny! Oh, and you guys know that my story's hot cause Dr. Phil's in it. No one can beat that!
