The next morning the four coordinators met in the lobby of the Pokemon Center so they could get organized and ready to leave. May was extremely excited seeing as she had always traveled in a group before she set out on her own and sort of preferred traveling with others. She couldn't stop talking on and on about the most random things, sometimes stories about her own travels with Ash, Brock, and Max and other times about her childhood.
Drew was starting to get extremely irritated with the brunette and had to retrain himself from shutting her up. She just talked on and on and on, Drew swore she was doing it just to annoy him, "May, will you shut up?" he screamed at the top of his lungs.
"…" May was silent after that and blinked staring at Drew, "Uhm, okay!" she chimed smiling again clipping her fanny pack back on her waist, "Okay, I'm ready to go!"
Harley started jumping up and down, "Let's go, let's go!" he squealed and skipped out of the door singing a random tune.
Solidad laughed at Harley's childish antics and followed, "Come on you two!" she called over her shoulder to the two younger ones.
May laughed and ran after the two older ones, "Wait up!" she called, "Come on Drew!"
Drew blinked and then smirked following at a walking pace flicking his hair letting out a small noise of surprise when May grabbed his hand and pulled him ahead, "Come on!" she shouted running after the pink haired woman and purple haired main dragging Drew along with her.
The green haired boy blushed and found it hard to keep up when his mind was on May's hand, which was firmly grasping his own.
The brunette finally slowed to a walking pace next to the other two laughing and talking with Solidad about random girl things, Harley jumping in. Drew smirked and flicked his hair not bother to join the girly conversation, seeing as he was probably the one out of the whole group who didn't care that much about fashion. Instead, his mind kept straying to yesterday, and the kiss May gave him. 'It was on the lips after all wasn't it? Does she like me? Of course she doesn't she was just extremely hyper and didn't know what she was doing. I mean I can't like her, can I?' he asked himself frowning slightly.
"What do you think Drew?" May asked cutting Drew's thoughts short.
Drew blinked and looked over at the girl, "Hmn? What?" he asked seeing as he wasn't following their conversation at all.
May rolled her eyes, "What do you think about shopping of course!" she said throwing her arms in the air, "I mean, I think it's pretty cool while Solidad thinks it's a waste of time mostly and Harley loves shopping to the extreme. What do you think?" she asked smiling her green haired rival/crush/friend.
Drew blinked noticing how pretty May looked in the light of the rising sun (A/N: yes cheesy, bare with me here people), "Uhh… I don't really go shopping sorry," he said regaining his composure flicking his hair slightly.
"Oh but Drew hasn't your sister ever dragged you shopping before?" Harley asked suddenly appearing besides Drew.
Drew grimaced slightly, "No, my sister hates shopping," he said flatly.
"I never thought a girl could hate shopping. I just dislike it," Solidad commented thoughtfully.
"Ro—Jade isn't a normal girl mind you. She has her girlish ways but acts mostly as a tom-boy," the green haired trainer said flicking his hair arrogantly, "Whenever she goes shopping it's when my mom drags her along,"
"Oh…" May said sweat dropping, "So, your sister really is different I guess,"
"Yeah, having her around is more like having a brother around that has some girlish antics," he said and stuffed his hand in his pockets, "That's all," he added shrugging his shoulders.
May laughed, "Well is she whiny at all? My little brother Max is extremely whiny and annoying,"
"No, not at all. Most of the time she's quiet," Drew muttered, "So, what city are we going to next?" he asked changing the subject quickly.
May, being dense, didn't notice the quick change and got a thoughtful look on her face, "Hmn, I dunno. Hey Solidad what city are we going to next?" she asked looking over at the pink haired woman.
"Hmmm, Harley do you still have that Poke'nav?" Solidad asked the man who was once again walking next to her.
"Oh of course I do hun," he said and reached into his pocket and pulled out a Poke'nav handing it to Solidad, "I always have it with me,"
Solidad smiled warmly, "Thanks Harley," she said and looked down at the navigator, "Hmmm, from the looked of it the next city we should go to is… Violet City," the coordinator said, "And then from there we should go to Azalea Town,"
"Alright! More contests!" May shouted pumping her fist into the air.
"Whoa May, slow down there. These might be tag team battles but you have to take this step by step. I'm pretty sure my sister will have found a partner by then," Drew said looking at May sternly.
"But Drew, your sister said that she already had five ribbons," Harley whined his face falling.
"If I know my sister she'll try to win as many as possible. She's a tough opponent for a young girl, trust me," Drew said flicking his hair.
"May blinked and pressed her pointer fingers together, "Well, why don't you tell us what Pokemon she'll probably use? We can plan from there," May asked Drew then all of a sudden ran into a tree. The rest sweat dropped seeing as they had forgotten they were still walking while talking. May stood up again rubbing her head and then looked hopefully at Drew.
"She'll probably use either Umbreon, Roselia, Ninetails, Gardevoir or her Kingdra," Drew said thoughtfully pondering which one she would most likely use.
"Is that all the Pokemon she has with her?" Solidad asked as they continued walking.
"Yes," Drew said plainly as blinked when they all sweat dropped and did an anime fall, "What?"
"That doesn't narrow it down ya know," Harley said standing back up brushing off his outfit.
"Well sorry I haven't seen my sister in a contest yet," Drew said flicking his hair.
May sighed, "Well we'll just have to try to fight back! she said determinedly.
"I agree with May," Solidad said smiling.
"Yeah!" Harley exclaimed jumping up and down.
Drew smirked and flicked his hair arrogantly not saying anything.
All of a sudden May's stomach let out a huge growl and she blushed, "Heh, what time is it?" she asked wrapping her arms around her growling stomach.
"Uhm, almost noon," Solidad said checking on Harley's Poke'nav, "How about some lunch?" Solidad asked sweat dropping when her own stomach let out a faint sound.
"Sounds good to me!" Harley shouted in a singsong voice taking out a sandwich happily.
Drew shrugged, "I'm not so sure," he said cocking an eyebrow watching as May dug through her pack looking for her own food, "How close are we to the next Pokemon Center?"
Solidad swallowed her mouthful and looked at the Poke'nav again scanning the screen, "Hmmm, we should make it to the next Pokemon Center by nightfall," she said her eyes scanning the small screen.
Drew shrugged and sat down leaning against a tree watching the three eat silently.
May blinked and fought to swallow a huge bite and then looked over at Drew skeptically, "Aren't you going to eat?" she asked cocking an eyebrow.
Drew shook his head, "I'm fine," he said blinking in alarm when May sat next to him.
"Come on Drew, at least eat a bite of something!" May said poking Drew.
The green haired boy grimaced in annoyance and glared at May slightly before his eyes softened and he shrugged his shoulders, "Eh, I didn't really pack anything to eat on the way anyways,"
May stared at Drew for a moment, "Well then have a bite of my sandwich!" she said offering the sandwich, which had a huge bite out of it.
Drew twitched slightly, "No, I'm okay," he said turning away from May despite the fact that she looked cute with her huge eyes.
May blinked and shrugged then noticing how close they were, blush and stood moving back to where she previously was to continue eating.
Drew couldn't help but stare from a distance as May ate her sandwich, in record time actually, she was pretty, even when her mouth was stuffed with food!
Solidad noticed that Drew was staring and gave him a pointed looked and he quickly switched his glance to some random tree a light pink blush crossing his features.
May finished the sandwich and hopped up smiling brightly, "I'm all ready to go!" she shouted.
Solidad laughed and stood up also, "Well then, let's go. C'mon you two," she said to Harley and Drew walking after May, who had a head start.
Harley skipped after Solidad humming happily while Drew trudged behind; he had a feeling that this was going to be a long journey.
