I'm sorry for the slow update. I just finished my Biology project so now I've got some time!

Sea: I don't take Biology.

Me: That's because you are stupid.

Sea: Yea…

Me:….

May: Rolyn doesn't own anything!

Day 1: Part 1: Driven By Jealousy

"That was the absolute funniest thing I ever saw!" Riley giggled as the six of them, meaning Drew, May, Rolyn, Jason, Ray and her made their way to the city gym. Just as Rolyn had planned they were going to the gym for Jason to earn his next badge so he could be one step closer to qualifying for the Champix League. After that they would be able to do whatever they wanted to and eventually go to the Midnight Festival.

"I know! I've never seen a jaw drop that low." May laughed as she nudged Drew with her elbow. Drew glared at her and gently shoved her back. Eventually it turned into a whole shoving contest between the two of them.

"I found absolutely no humor in that situation at all." Ray commented as his face flushed a bit. Riley giggled and wrapped her arm around his neck in a friendly manner before pulling his head in for a good hair ruffling.

"It wasn't supposed to be funny for you." She responded in a matter of fact tone. He flushed even deeper and rolled his eyes at her.

"It was rather…unethical." Drew muttered as he shoved May straight off the sidewalk. She nearly lost her balance and glared at Drew because of it but he pulled her back onto the sidewalk by her wrist.

"All in good fun." Rolyn giggled crossing her arms over her chest with a bright smile on her face.

"I don't know why you guys are complaining! I thought what they did was great." Jason commented as he wrapped his arm around Rolyn's waist. She pouted and turned her head away from him. Her story was still fresh in her mind and retelling it only reminded her of it over and over.

"You're sick dude." Drew said shaking his head at Jason who shrugged.

They finally reached the gym which was one of the largest gyms any of them had ever seen in their lives. It was like a dome arena but not the actual size. Jason was the first to push through the doors and went to go challenge the gym leader.

The others followed slowly, not being as anxious as he was. All they were gonna do was watch. They were led into the main arena that was the actual battle field and standing on the far end of the field was a boy just about two years older than them, five years in Riley's case and four years in Ray's case considering they weren't sixteen.

He had dirty blonde hair and bright piercing blue eyes. He was rather tall and lean and he was wearing tan cargo pants and a dark blue t-shirt. Rolyn's eyes widened at the sight of him while Riley remained distracted by the ends of her hair and May was simply uninterested.

"Whoa…" Rolyn breathed. Jason noticed her dazed state and rolled his eyes. Riley tilted her head in confusion and poked Rolyn on the arms breaking her gaze from the dirty blonde haired boy.

"What?" She said in a low tone trying to not catch any attention from anybody else. Rolyn shook her head and smiled sheepishly.

"N-Nothing…"

The boy noticed their arrival and made his way over while smiling in a charming manner. May smiled brightly in return because she was just polite like that, Riley gave a small shy smile considering she was very shy when it came to new people and Rolyn was back in her stupor.

"What's up, are any of you here to challenge me?" He questioned glancing at each person. Rolyn stepped forward with her hands clamped before her.

"You're the gym leader!? That is so cool." She mused smiling sheepishly. He smiled back awkwardly and held out his hand.

"Uh yea, the names Dean. Are you my challenger?" He questioned as she took his hand and they shook. Rolyn shook her head and was pushed aside by Jason.

"I'm your challenger and I'm her…" he trailed off and glanced at Rolyn who was glaring at him for pushing her aside. If he had looked long enough he would have seen the urging look in her eyes. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "I'm her friend."

"Okay…?" Dean trailed off as he went to his side of the field. The others took a seat in the many stands as the ref appeared on his stand and Jason took the other side of the field with two pokeballs in hand.

"This should be good." Drew muttered. May turned to face him with a confused look on her face.

"How so?" She questioned quirking an eyebrow. Drew smirked but denied her the eye contact that she wanted.

"It was obvious the moment Rolyn saw the guy. Jason is jealous and there isn't a doubt in my mind that he's going to be driven by that." Drew stated simply with a shrug.

"What is he jealous about? There's nothing to be jealous about." May said leaning back in her seat. Drew rolled his eyes at her.

"I wouldn't expect you to understand." He muttered. May narrowed her eyes at him.

"What is that supposed to mean? I know I have never been driven by jealousy in a battle but I know I can understand just as much as you can…unless you've been in the same situation." May trailed of as a sly smile came to her lips. Drew narrowed his eyes as he blushed.

"That has never happened to me…" He growled through his teeth as recollection of a battle he had with a certain raven haired boy and his Pikachu came to mind. May laughed lightly and nudged him on the shoulder. "Don't even start that up again." Drew warned pointing at her accusingly.

"Sorry." May said waving her hands with over enthusiasm. Drew rolled his eyes at her but smiled nonetheless.

"This battle is between the Maranell city gym leader, Dean and the Challenger from Peridot city, Jason. This is a simple two on two battle with no substitutions." The ref said.

"Okay then, C'mon out Arcanine and Arbok!" Dean said throwing his two pokeballs into the air. The two pokemon came out and both of them looked ready to go. Jason smirked and threw his own pokeballs without a single word. Out came a large Steelix and a Tropius.

"Wow, I haven't seen a Steelix since I split from Brock. His always seemed like the largest one but Jason proved me wrong. That one looks tough" May commented.

"Oh please don't be fooled, that thing couldn't last ten seconds against Quilava back in the day." Rolyn responded waving her hand in a nonchalant manner.

"Hmm…that's surprising." May muttered.

"Okay, you may begin!" The ref said.

"Steelix use rock throw and Tropius use gust." Jason said simply as he glared in Dean's direction. Steelix slammed its large tail onto the arena floor and huge rocks erupted from the ground. Tropius then used gust to propel the rocks at high speed towards both targets.

"Arbok, Arcanine, use hyper beam." Dean countered. The two hyper beams came together and blasted through every rock reducing them to pieces. Jason rolled his eyes. "Now Arbok use poison sting!"

"Tropius stay behind Steelix." Jason ordered. Tropius nodded and went behind the rock pokemon who withstood the poison sting completely due to its hard exterior.

"Arbok use haze. Arcanine use fire blast." Arbok released a large amount of haze into the arena which had many people coughing. Arcanine went straight into the haze to get a closer range for its attack.

Just as quick as the haze was released, it scattered before disappearing to show that in the place of Steelix was a large hole and hovering up above was Tropius who used gust to get rid of the haze. Arcanine directed its fire blast upwards but just as it was releasing the attack Steelix came up from the ground and rammed it from underneath.

"Whoa that was amazing!" Riley exclaimed standing to her feet. Ray pulled her back down and shook his head.

"That's practically the standard knock out move for a Steelix. It's easy to predict. Only you wouldn't be able to see that." Ray commented. Riley huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. May glanced at them and that familiar feeling returned.

"Why can't I just remember!?" She groaned

Arcanine laid passed out on the arena floor due to the high strength of the impact it had just received. Dean smiled lightly and shrugged as he returned his pokemon.

"Aw! You can do it Dean!" Rolyn encouraged. He smiled at her and Jason gave her a look of disbelief. She locked eyes with him and stuck out her tongue. He sneered and directed all his attention back on the battle while letting his anger get the better of him.

"Arbok us poison sting!" Dean ordered. Arbok complied and sent a poison sting upwards in the direction of Tropius. It knew better than to go after Steelix when the pokemon was completely immune to the attack.

"Quick Tropius! Behind Steelix, now!" Jason ordered. Tropius flew out of the way of the poison sting just in time even though it never got behind Steelix. It landed next to its partner and awaited another order. "Now use bullet seed!

"Arbok use poison shot!"

The two similar attacks collided and came together in a small explosion. A large amount of smoke was produced and the sprinklers on the ceiling went off.

"Oh c'mon!" Rolyn said covering her head with her hands but that didn't help. May reached into her fanny pack and pulled out a small umbrella. She opened it up and smiled brightly.

"Never defy the power of the fanny pack." May sighed patting the pack around her waist. Drew rolled his eyes and crossed his arms as his hair began to stick to his face.

Steelix began to cringe as the water pelted it. It was extremely vulnerable to water. Jason saw it's cringing and grit his teeth. This was a setback he wasn't expecting.

"Arbok hyper beam on Steelix!" Dean ordered using the Pokémon's weakened state to his advantage. The hyper beam hit dead on into the rock Pokémon's head sending it crashing into the ground. Jason let out an exasperated sigh as he pulled out Steelix's pokeball and returned it.

"Yea, go Dean!" Rolyn cheered clapping in approval. Jason grit his teeth and his anger boiled over as he yelled out a random attack.

"Tropius use wing attack!" He yelled out of pure frustration. Tropius could sense this and just like every other pokemon; he complied with his trainer and didn't have the confidence needed considering Jason had traded his confidence for anger. The attack was not to its full potential and Arbok dodged it easily.

"See I told you." Drew said nudging May with his elbow. She nodded in understanding without taking her eyes off the battle.

"I get it. Just like whenever I had low confidence my pokemon would feel the same way and the same thing is happening with Jason." May stated in her realization. She smiled brightly at her own discovery.

"No, I wouldn't have guessed." Drew muttered sarcastically while crossing his arms over his chest. May pouted lightly and closed her umbrella for a moment just to hit Drew with it.

"Okay Arbok, use poison sting!" Dean ordered. Arbok did as it was told and fired the attack. It was a direct hit on Tropius who didn't have Steelix as a shield anymore. It winced in pain and Jason got frustrated even further.

"What's the matter with him?" Rolyn questioned quietly.

"It's pretty obvious. He's driven by jealousy." Ray inserted. Rolyn gave him a skeptical look.

"What is there to be jealous about?" Rolyn countered.

"Uh probably the way you're cheering on his opponent. You two are supposed to be friends." Ray stated in a matter-of-fact tone. Rolyn pouted and turned her gaze downwards.

"He…is jealous." She muttered to herself. She let that thought hang for a moment before realization came to her. She smiled brightly and right then the sprinkler system finally shut down. "Jaze!" She called trying to get Jason's attention by calling him by one of the few nicknames she had made for him.

He briefly turned his attention to her before refocusing on the battle at hand, however she knew he was listening.

"You need to focus!" Rolyn ordered standing up and gripping the railing in front of the bleacher she was sitting on. "I know you don't let anything get the better of you. I know you can do it!" She said encouragingly with a sweet smile on her face. He glanced at her catching her genuine smile and he calmed himself down.

"Aw Rolyn that was sweet." Riley cooed as Rolyn still remained standing up with all her attention on the battle.

"I don't think she heard you." Ray said. Riley smiled awkwardly and nodded in agreement.

"Okay Tropius, I know this may be hard but I need you to try and fly." Jason said with a determined smile on his face. Tropius glanced at its trainer and smiled weakly before flapping its wings and taking off. Jason's smile soon turned into a confident smirk. "Okay now use sweet sent."

Tropius released the pink colored attack and it surrounded Arbok putting it in a daze. It looked dizzy and Jason was going to use that to his advantage just like he had planned to.

"Now use solar beam!" Jason ordered. Tropius pulled his head back and let its attack gain energy.

"Arbok, dodge quickly." Dean instructed but Arbok was still disoriented and failed to move more than a few feet. Tropius directed its attack and in an instant the solar beam was fired hitting the target directly.

Arbok fell limply to the ground completely passed out and Tropius landed next to its trainer tired out. Dean sighed and returned Arbok to its pokeball and Jason gave Tropius praise before doing the same.

"That was absolutely incredible!" Riley exclaimed standing to her feet. Rolyn smiled brightly and hopped over the railing of the bleachers to run over and give Jason a hug. She wrapped her arms around his neck in a tight embrace and he just stood there in surprise.

"Now that's the Jason I know." She said giving him a light kiss on the cheek. She blushed lightly as did he and she avoided eye contact as she clamped her hands behind her back. "You did good but I don't understand why you were so jealous."

"Jealous? Who said I was jealous?" he questioned rolling his eyes. Rolyn narrowed her eyes at him in a glare and punched him harshly on the arm.

"You were jealous!" She exclaimed. He glared at her and rubbed the spot she had just punched him.

"I was not!"

"Yes you were!"

"No I wasn't!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Oh Azelf…" Drew muttered slapping his forehead. May just watched as the two went into a full blown argument that nobody dared to get in to. Dean stood at a distance and Riley hid behind Ray.

"Some things never change." May muttered.

Well that was Part one of day one! Part two is gonna be awesome.

Sea Sure it is.

Drew: Haha sarcasm…

May: Sarcasm isn't funny.

Drew: it is to me.

Me: Pweez Review!
