The next morning the group of four headed out to the clearing in the forest they were at yesterday to train a little bit. They were slightly surprised that they heard a small girl yelling out commands. They heard and explosion, then a crash, then a scream which turned into a groan fairly quickly, "No, no Umbreon, let Roselia do solar beam and then use physic not shadow ball," they heard someone, "Ugh, that explosion hurt," the person added again. They heard a faint call of a Gardevoir probably asking if it's master is all right.
The four stepped into the edge of the clearing a gapped when they saw Jade sprawled out on the ground leaning against a tree biting her lip.
"Jade!" Drew called and sprinted over to his little sister, "You alright?"
Jade laughed and flicked her hair, "I'm just fine Drew. I'm not dead,"
"That sounded like a pretty bad explosion," Solidad commented heading over to the siblings Harley and May following.
"Yeah and I just happened to be right in the middle of it," Jade said grimacing slightly as she stood up, "See all better," she said and laughed flicking her hair again.
"Drew I think you gave your bad habits to your sweet innocent sister," May said scowling at Drew.
"Ha, you know you love the hair flick," Drew said arrogantly flicking his hair.
May scowled even more her face growing red, "No I don't! Only your stupid fan girls do!"
"Who says you aren't a fan girl," Drew said smirking his back to the three others facing his little sister.
"I am most certainly not one of your air-headed fan girls!" May screamed her face contorting in rage.
"Lovers quarrel!" Harley sang teasingly.
"Shut up," May and Drew said together May the same color as ketchup and Drew only have a faint pink tinge.
Jade snickered and returned Gardevoir and Roselia letting Umbreon jump into her arms purring softly, "Well, I'm out," she said and started to walk away, "Oh and Drew, don't loose unless you want to be tormented by me," she added and then tossed a black and blue rose behind her to Drew disappearing afterwards.
Drew caught it easily and the four older coordinators stared after her for a little a bit mesmerized by the fact that such a small girl can have so much power. May was the first to speak though, "Wow, your sister has quiet… a presence," she commented.
Drew rolled his eyes and flicked his hair, "She's been like that since she started school really,"
"Oh really? Why?" Solidad questioned staring at Drew.
"I don't know, mom said it was from the endless teasing she got during school or something like that. She started wearing dark colors after she started first grade refusing to wear her usual pink or yellow dresses. When I had left for my own journey she seemed to change even more and when I visited LaRousse before I came to Johto she was extremely different, darker in a way. I don't know something along those lines," he said shrugging his shoulders flicking his hair again.
"It seems like Jade has been possessed by a dark soul," Harley said and then giggled.
"What?" May exclaimed flailing her arms again her eyes widening in surprise.
"Cool it May, Harley is just joking. Right Harley?" Solidad said shooting Harley a 'you know she freaks easily' look.
Harley laughed, "Sorry honey, I was joking," he said, "My mistake,"
"Idiot," Drew mumbled flicking his hair again, "So? Are we going to train or what?"
May calmed down from the short scare and smiled, "Of course Blaziken you're up!" she called throwing a Pokeball her large fire type Pokemon appearing in front of her.
Drew smirked and grabbed one of his Pokemon also tossing it, "Roselia go," he said flicking his hair.
"Slowbro, come on out," Solidad said tossing her own Pokeball.
"Oh Cacturne sweetie, be a dear and come out," Harley said tossing his own Pokeball.
Several hours later the group was seen staggering out of the woods looking extremely tired yawning. The first thing the four coordinators noticed was that Jade was sitting on a bench her Umbreon sitting on her lap. It seemed like she was talking to the Pokemon softly. May, Drew, and Solidad noticed that a tear slid down her tear, Harley was too busy talking about how hungry he was.
"Oh let's go eat!" Harley squealed and grabbed Solidad and May dragging them away. Drew was left behind, not that he really cared.
Drew walked over to Jade and sat next to her placing an arm around her shoulder, "Hey, Jade you okay?" he asked.
Jade sniffed and shook her head, "No not really," she muttered.
Drew stood up and pulled Jade up staring down at her, "Is it my fault?" he asked.
Jade just looked away not saying anything and started scratching Umbreon's ears absentmindedly.
Drew frowned at his sister and moved in front of her so her could see her face, "Rose talk to me,"
Jade sniffed, "I told you not to call me Rose ever again," she muttered staring into Drew's eyes intensely, she didn't notice that Umbreon jumped from her arms and skittered away.
Drew frowned, "Why not? Is it because it was what we called you before…" he said not even mentioning that time. It had always made Jade extremely depressed and angry.
"I don't want to talk about it Drew," Jade muttered looking away again.
"Rose talk to me," he said placing his hands on her shoulders.
"I told you not to call me Rose!" she screamed tears streaming down her face bowing her head her small body shaking with powerful sobs.
"Rose, stop this. Talk to me. Is this my fault?" he asked resisting the urge to start shaking her violently. 'It has to be my fault, when I left, I left her defenseless against those kids,'
Jade just stood there muttering something that sounded like, "Stop calling me that,"
"Jade," Drew said switching back to his sister's other nickname, "You need to talk to me!" he exclaimed but tried to keep it quiet so no one else could hear.
"I don't have to talk if I don't have to, Drew," Jade said finally looking at Drew but it was an intense gaze that shook Drew pretty badly.
"Rose—" Drew started but was cut off.
"Stop calling me that! I don't want to talk just leave me alone!" Jade screamed and then pulled away from Drew running away her Umbreon following her from out of nowhere. Drew frowned and turned seeing May, Solidad, and Harley standing there gaping slightly.
Solidad and May had followed Harley obediently until Jade's Umbreon came up to them and bit May's leg slightly.
"Ow!" May yelled and then glared down at Umbreon who was biting her shoe pulling backwards, "What?"
"I think she wants us to follow May," Solidad said and then looked to Harley, "Can we post pone this little lunch party until we find out where Umbreon is taking us?"
"Oh all right," Harley said sighing and followed the Umbreon, May and Solidad coming along also.
The Umbreon led the three around back to where they basically were before and around a corner they found Drew and Jade standing there. The three stood there trying to find out what they were talking about. They caught the words 'why' 'called' 'before' 'don't' 'talk' 'rose' 'me' and then all of a sudden Jade screamed, "I told you not to call me Rose" and after that the words were really choppy but they all saw Jade start to sob. The conversation ended with Jade screaming again and then sprinting away the small Pokemon following quickly. Drew turned and found his three rivals staring at him and he scowled.
May sighed and walked over to her rival and long time crush looking at him worriedly, "You okay Drew?"
Drew scowled deeper and then twitched sighing running his fingers through his hair, "I'm fine, I'm not so sure about Jade though,"
"What's… the matter with her?" Solidad questioned joining the two Harley close behind.
Drew sighed again shrugging her shoulders placing his hands in his pockets, "I really don't know. She's… complicated. I asked her if she was angry at me and she won't answer,"
"It seems like she has a case of heart break," Harley teased giggling again.
"Don't joke at a time like this!" Drew yelled glaring at Harley.
"Oh, not very nice," Harley said cocking an eyebrow at Drew.
Drew growled dangerously and May stepped in between them, "Well, I'm hungry let's eat!" she said quickly.
"Ohhh! Yes, yes let's!" Harley shouted brightly jumping up and down.
Drew scowled, "Yeah, I'm pretty hungry," he said carelessly flicking his hair again.
May and Solidad sweat dropped and the group walked away to go grab something to eat.
After they ate they decided to relax and go to a beach (no I don't know it Cherrygrove City has a beach, go with me people, please) or something since there was a lot of tension between everyone when they tried to say a word about Jade to Drew. They all took a quick time to change and set out chatting about nothing in particular. Drew was a little reluctant to agree because the contest was coming up but they wore him down eventually saying that there had enough time and so on.
When they arrived May squealed and shed her clothing quickly showing the fact that she was wearing a green two piece underneath, the same shade as Drew's hair as a matter of fact, "How do I look?" she asked modeling it laughing.
Drew blushed deeply staring at May for a moment before napping out of it, "I see no difference," he said carelessly flicking his hair again and yawned off his shirt and jeans since he was wearing blue trunks showing that he had a flat, muscular chest.
May blushed for a moment before exploding out of pure anger, "You're so dead!" she screamed and then looked over at the water, "…after I swim," she said and then ran over to the water like a five year old.
Solidad laughed since she had pulled off her clothes during May's explosion, she was wearing a pink bathing suit and Harley was wearing a green one, same color as his normal clothes no less.
"Oh let's go swim!" Harley shouted in a sing song voice grabbing Drew and Solidad sprinting into the water dropping them in it laughing.
Drew resurfaced glaring at Harley but was a bit distracted by how May looked when she was wet.
Solidad noticed this and laughed splashing Drew. He glared and splashed her back. Then that started a whole water war between the four of them. They all didn't notice a small girl with an Umbreon in her arms watching sadly before walking away quietly.
A/N: yeah a lot of Jade in the chapter but after they leave Cherrygrove she won't be around a lot, trust me. Hope you enjoyed the second chapter review please! I DO NOT OWN POKEMON, IF I DID THAN CONTESTSHIPPING WOULD BE CANNON NOT TO MENTION MAY WOULD BE THE MAIN CHARACTER.
