May sighed as the dark lights grew brighter, each step closer to the stage. The battle rounds of the grand festival were hard and difficult but she along with one of her best friends, Kat, had pulled through and were now in their final round. Winner taking the Ribbon Cup and the Status of Unova Top Coordinator.
The crowd roared as loud as they could for Meredith as she announced the judges favorite appeals and strategies, a tradition in the Unova region. She stood and waited in the hallway that led to her entree way.
"May"
She turned around to see Drew, her best friend and crush since as long as she knew him.
"What's up Drew?"
He smiled as he walked up to her and looked into her eyes. May, being a whole head shorter then him, had to tilt her head up to see the concern held within them.
"Drew what's wrong?" She asked
"Its nothing, just…" He stopped as he looked away from her
She frowned as she forced him to look at her, "Drew…"
"Its just that I've been worried about you since Max was taken…They could come for you at any moment…" his eyes were clouded with worry and a faint blush dusted his cheeks.
May paused before blushing a bit. After a few seconds of hesitation she gently cupped his cheek and pulled his face down, capturing his lips with hers.
Drew's eyes widened before calming down and deepening the kiss.
It was perfect, both of them were in a total bliss and only parted to gasp for air.
May looked deeply into his eyes, a highly visible blush on her cheeks, "You shouldn't have anything to worry about. I know that I'm not worried and I'm one of the ones he's after…"
Drew wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close, "How are you not worried?"
She smiled as she leaned onto his chest, "Because I know that no matter what happens…you'll come for me…"
Drew leaned in and kissed her again, staring into her sapphire eyes, "I love you May, always have and always will…"
May smiled as a few tears escaped her eyes, "I love you too Drew…"
"And Now lets welcome our beloved finalists to the stage! May Maple and Kaitlyn Adams!"
May frowned as she slowly let go of Drew's embrace, "I kinda don't want to go now…"
Drew laughed as he kissed her forehead, "Go win your Ribbon Cup, I'll be here as soon as you get back."
May giggled as she nodded, "I would hope so…"
Drew could only smile as he watched the girl of his dreams run out onto her stage.
May and Kat both walked out in their festival gowns, two pokeballs in each of their hands.
Meredith was ecstatic, "Now girls, shake hands and free your pokemon!"
Kat and May shook hands, each smiling with confidence.
"You look unusually cheerful before a final battle?" Kat grinned
May smiled, "Well if you think it has anything to do with my new boyfriend then your wrong."
Kat gasped as she looked back to May's entrance where sure enough Drew stood with a smirk on his face and a blush on his cheeks.
"Wow, I wish you the best of luck then" Kat giggled.
"You too." May snickered.
"Alright girls take your positions and release the pokemon!" Meredith cheered.
May walked to the right of the stage, Kat to the left, before releasing their beloved partners,
"Espeon! Dragonite! Lets Show 'em who the true Top Coordinator is!"
An elegant purple cat and a very large orange dragon emerged from a large blue star that shined with brilliance.
"Blaziken! Blastoise! Let's steal the Spotlight!"
Both pokemon had appeared out of an array of lights that took the shape of an enormous pokeball, opening to release its content.
Meredith smiled, "This will be a two on two battle for five minutes! Lets cheer on our finalists until the very end! BEGIN!"
"Dragonite quick use Aqua tail!"
Dragonite panted as it attempted to flick its tail at the running Blaziken, who had used agility to avoid all attacks.
The battle was four minutes in and all four pokemon were still standing, although nearly reaching their limits.
Meredith was up out of her seat, "Only 30 seconds left on the clock and both coordinators are evenly matched in points! It all comes down to this! The Final moment! The last attacks!"
Kat calmed herself as she looked over at May who was just as worried as she had been moments ago.
"Hey May! Lets finish this with one last combination!"
May smiled to herself, "You Got it! Lets go out with a Bang!"
"Dragonite, Hurricane! Espeon, Psybeam!"
"Blaziken, Fire Spin! Blastoise Whirlpool!"
Kat's combination combined into a large rainbow tornado that crushed all the terrain that stood in its way.
Meanwhile May's combination was a large blue whirlpool with streaks of flames through out it causing sparks of power to emerge from it.
So much power emerged from the two that both girls had to block their eyes from debris as their hair was blown behind them.
The timer buzzed just as the attacks combined sending the terrain in every direction and blowing everyone off their feet.
After a few moments the smoke cleared revealing all four pokemon on the ground as well as both trainers sitting down from the force the explosion brought.
Meredith coughed a few times before gazing at the stage, "Well it appears that all the pokemon are unable to- wait! What's this?"
Blaziken and Espeon both struggled to stand as their legs wobbled in pain.
May and Kat both gasped as their two pokemon continued in their stare down.
Meredith broke the crowds silence, "Well since the points are even and each coordinator has only one pokemon it comes down to this! Which pokemon will fall first?"
Drew, Soledad, Lizabeth, Dawn and Ash were all up out of their chairs gazing at the incredible power their friends had.
Soon the entire crowd was on it's feet, each person wanting to be the first to see the winner.
May's eyes glossed over as she gazed at her first pokemon, faithful till its very end.
Blaziken grunted in pain as he fell to his knee, loudly gasping for air.
"Blaziken…." May couldn't believe her eyes.
Espeon continued her deep breathing until she couldn't handle the pain anymore.
As if it was slow motion Espeon collapsed to the ground unconscious.
The entire crowd erupted into screams and cheers as the two trainers returned all of their pokemon to their pokeballs.
Meredith jumped onto the stage and spun around, "AND THAT'S IT FOLKS! THE WINNER AND NEW TOP COORDINATOR OF THE UNOVA GRAND FESTIVAL IS….MAY MAPLE!"
Kat smiled and ran over to hug May, "That was incredible May! I continue to admire that Blaziken of yours!"
May nodded and stood to her feet, her gaze trailing off to Mr. Contesta who walked toward her, golden trophy in his hands.
"May Maple. In honor of your victory and talent in the art of coordinating, we would like to present you with this Ribbon Cup!"
May quickly wiped the tears that came to her eyes as she reached out for her accomplishment.
As she held it up to the crowd she noticed all of her friends running toward her on the battle level.
"Congrats May!" Dawn yelled from the entrance as she jogged over to her best friend.
Just as May was about to reply her thanks a large earthquake stopped everyone where they stood. The shaking was so bad that everyone that tried to move was instantly sent to their feet.
Kat and May both stumbled to the ground, May loosing hold of the trophy that slowly fell to the ground and rolled around with the shaking.
"Wha-What is this?" Meredith yelled over her mic.
"ASH WHAT IS THIS?" Misty screamed over all of the loud earth being shook.
"I HAVE NO IDEA!" Ash quickly grabbed onto her and held her tight.
Drew covered his eyes from the dirt flying around the stadium, "THIS DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A NORMAL EARTHQUAKE!"
All of them continued to think of anything that could cause such trouble before a thought came to mind,
Brock frowned, "ONLY GROUDON COULD CAUSE THIS MUCH EARTH TRAUMA!"
Lizabeth panicked, "THEN DO YOU THINK GALACTIC GOT GROUDONS PARTNER?"
Right as this was said everyone' had the same realization.
Partner…
Galactic…
All of their eyes jumped toward the stage, where 2 screams echoed throughout the arena.
"MAY!" Drew quickly threw out his Flygon and ordered a gust, while Paul's Torterra created a bit of sturdiness to the place with multiple frenzy plants.
A large ship, three times as large as the last one, hovered just above the arena with hundreds of glass capsules flying in every direction.
"HELP!"
Ash and Drew both looked up to one of the capsules where Kat sat, tears streaming down her face.
Drew's mouth went dry however, at the unconscious brunette that laid in the capsule next to her.
Dawn couldn't stand it, she ran toward the stage as fast as she could, angry tears blurring her vision.
Paul gasped, "DAWN NO!"
Just as Dawn was going to release her Togekiss, a large capsule pinned her to the ground as scooped her up with the ground that resided underneath her.
"DAWN!"
Cyrus cackled to himself as he quickly drew in all 3 prisons before a certain Hydregion could destroy them again.
"Release the gasses into the cells and transport our guests to the labs!" He ordered his lackeys.
"GET ME OUT OF HERE! I SWEAR AS SOON AS I'M OUT I'M GOING TO POUND YOU ALL TO A PULP!" Kat kicked and screamed.
Dawn had recently passed out from hyperventilating, while May was unconscious from a blow to the head, which had been bleeding according to the blood streaks that trailed the side of her face.
Kat quickly wiped away her tears, 'I have to get us out of here! They wont make it if I don't!'
A new set of tears quickly replaced the old ones, but before she could wipe them away a suspicious odor filled her prison.
"Wha-what is this…this stuff….." Kats eyes suddenly fluttered close as she collapsed to the floor of her glass sphere.
3 lackeys continued to walk into the prisons and carefully take each girl to a lab that was stationed on a different part of the ship.
Because of Kats screaming, Mays mind had regained consciousness but her body and eyes seemed immovable, as if they were tied to weights.
Tears slowly dripped through her bloodied face, 'Drew…I need you….'
"Dammit!"
He quickly punched the wall of the Pokemon Center, putting all his anger and depression into his fist.
"Drew…"
He ignored her as he continued to hit the wall with all his force, a dent beginning to form.
Soledad put her hand on his shoulder, signaling him that that was enough.
She slowly took his shoulder and guided him to one of the chairs in the medical wing where their friends sat sleeping, watching over injured pokemon.
She quickly cleaned and gauzed his bloodied hands and pulled him into a hug,
"We're going to get her back Drew…"
He couldn't hold them in. Tears streamed down his face as he recalled the last memory of her. Her smiling face as she embedded all her hope in him,
"Because I know that no matter what happens…you'll come for me…"
"Drew this isn't your fault…" Soledad frowned
"You don't get it Soledad! She put her trust in me and I let her down! And now Team Galactic is probably torturing her or hurting her in someway and its all because I couldn't get to her in time…"
Soledad was so shocked. Never in her life ad she seen Drew so distraught or upset.
Drew could see that she had nothing to say,
"I'm going to bed…"
Soledad could only wipe her tears as she saw the boy who was like a little brother turn his back to her and leave.
"Oh Drew…."
Misty frowned as she laid her head on her Golduck's hospital bed.
After Dawn had been lifted into the sky, everyone had sent out their pokemon to try to destroy the ship which ended only in each of them being hurt in some kind of way.
"Hey Mist…"
Misty quickly turned around to see Ash resting against the door frame.
"Everyone's getting together in the room so we can plan what were doing next…" He tried to smile
Misty nodded and followed Ash up to where their whole group was sharing a very large room. In the room Soledad and Lizabeth were lounged on their bunk-bed, each looking equally depressed, Drew and Paul were both laying down on their bunk-bed, pillows over their heads, and Brock, Lalita, Kelly and Sonny were sitting around computers and Maps that were spread around the ground.
Misty quietly walked over and sat with Kelly, each comforting each other with the loss of their best friends.
"So what's our next move Brock?" Ash asked
Brock scanned over the maps again and continued to think before speaking, "Well its hard to tell where the ship went…and without its location I honestly don't know…"
Paul silently sat up and looked over at the bluenette that had her head under a blanket,
"Hey Lizabeth. You said you knew what was going on, fess up!"
Lizabeth slowly pulled away the blanket and leaned over the edge of her bunk so she looked down on her friends.
"Okay, ill tell you what I know. Basically Team Galactic found some kind of ancient relic that described the bond between these trainers and their legendaries and now they're hunting all of them down."
Drew scoffed from under his pillow, "Yeah. We got that much."
Sonny nodded, "But something still concerns me? How exactly are they going to get control of the pokemon?"
Lizabeth's eyes shadowed in fear, "That's the part that I've been searching for something to prove me wrong… Apparently they've developed some kind of drug that takes over the humans entire being. It will slowly turn them into a stranger that we don't know, with only one goal; to kill anyone that gets in their way…"
Everyone went dead silent as the sudden image of their friends being tortured came to mind.
Brock suddenly yelled in alarm, "Lizabeth! Come down here!"
She frowned as she climbed down her ladder and sat next to Brock, turning her attention to the screen.
They both read for a minute before smiling ear to ear.
Ash gazed at them, "What is it?"
Brock turned the laptop toward their friends as a giant map appeared.
Lalita frowned, "What the hell does this have to do with anything?"
Brock clicked a few more keys causing a little blue dot to appear on the screen.
Kelly slowly stood up and gazed at the IP code coming from the dot,
"That's May…"
Drew's head suddenly shot up and looked at the map.
Brock smiled before nodding, "She left her Pokegear on, and we can track it."
Drew gasped, "So that means…"
Lizabeth smirked, "We can track Team Galactic"
Misty jumped up and grabbed her bag, "Then lets go! I can't even think about sleep until I know what's happening to my friends!"
Ash nodded as they all packed up their gear and went downstairs to collect their healed pokemon.
As they all headed outside Ash turned around to face his friends,
"Lalita, Sonny, Soledad, Kelly, I think you all should stay here."
"What?" They all chorused
Lalita was furious, "But I have to save Max!"
Misty walked up to the younger girl, "We'll save him Lalita but we cant risk you getting caught up in a tough battle."
Sonny frowned, "Then why does she get to go?" She pointed to Lizabeth who was currently getting onto her Hydregion.
Drew frowned, "Because she has knowledge of all the legends"
Sonny growled, "BUT SO DO I!"
Brock frowned, "Which is why we need you guys here! We need you four to head over to Professor Juniper's Lab and tell her everything that's happened. Then we need you to get lots of research on just what exactly is going on. Can we count on you for that?"
The four girls simply nodded, realizing the severity of their task.
Ash silently thanked them as they all withdrew their flying types.
Drew got on His Flygon, Ash on his Charizard, Misty, Brock and Paul on her Gyarados, and Lizabeth on her Hydregion.
Soledad and Sonny both threw out their Pidgeot's and boarded them, Lalita going with Sonny and Kelly with Soledad.
Misty nodded to them, "Keep in touch, and stay safe."
They all nodded and took off to the skies, hope filling their hearts that their friends were okay.
May silently whimpered as she stirred awake, light burning her sensitive eyes.
"May! You're okay!"
She was suddenly glomped in a giant hug.
"We were so worried!"
May's eyes finally adjusted she saw Kat smiling at her.
"Kat? Where are we?"
Kat frowned, "We were taken by Galactic along with Dawn. After they knocked us all out I woke up here in this ugly outfit. Nobody's been in here for hours though."
She looked down to see the outfit that they were all in. They were all the typical Galactic uniforms with the metallic short dresses and the golden 'G' on their chests.
"So where's Dawn?" May asked
Kat smiled, "She;s behind you, with a couple of the other captives."
May finally had the chance to look around. About 7 other trainers sat together and tried to cheer up one another.
She gasped as she recognized some of them, "Brendan? Tori?"
Both boys looked over and smiled at the sight of her.
Brendan, Mays childhood friend since birth, revealed to her that unfortunately it was his fault she was taken as he was partnered with Groudon.
"It doesn't matter Brendan, it wasn't your fault." She smiled as she hugged him.
"May!"
She turned and cried at the sight in front of her. It was Max.
"Max!"
She quickly ran to tackle him in a giant bear hug, "I was so worried about you!"
Max blushed, "Geez i'm not a baby May."
The boys were all in similar outfits except instead of dresses they were wearing metallic looking jumpsuits with the same 'G' on their chest.
Dawn smiled, "May come meet the others"
"Hi, My names Molly," a girl no more then 11 smiled.
"I'm Melody" A brunette around May's age nodded.
"My Name's Bianca!" a teenage brunette giggled.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Leaf" a shy brunette waved
"And I'm Gary, good to see your okay," the brunette boy smirked
Dawn frowned, "So who are you all here for?"
After many memories were passed, everyone was like a small family.
Molly turned out to be here for Entei, as well as the Unknown, Melody was with Lugia, Bianca was partnered with Latias and Latios, Leaf revealed to have befriended Celibi, Gary with Rayquaza, Tori with Deoxys, Brendan with Groudon, and Kat for Mew.
Dawn nodded, "I honestly don't know who I'm here for…"
May put her arm around her friend, "Don't worry! I bet Ash and the others are on their way right as we speak!"
Brendan frowned, "You better hope they hurry up…"
They both turned their gaze to the black haired boy, "What do you mean?"
Brendan slowly slipped his white hat back on, "Because they plan on testing us all tonight."
