Emerald: We're back....
Drew: I don't want to know why you are so sad.
May: Something doesn't happen, does it?
Emerald: No, just that I'm in dire need of a new computers. I'm using my aunts because my last one died. I am forever greatful I sent her my story to save. Also this is in Drew's POV
"That wasn't funny!"
"I'm not laughing. I had to get you up so I can get ready. The contest resumes in five hours." I stood up and went to the bathroom. Oh the joy of nerves.
The winners are........
"May! Slow down a bit! The contest starts in...."
"Thirty minutes! Come on Drew! I want to win this!"
"May, slow down! We'll make it, so what's the rush?" I asked, running after her. She stopped in front of the contest hall and I sighed in relief. We walked in and sat down beside Solidad and Robert. "Hey guys."
"Hey Drew. How are you? You look tired." Solidad commented.
"Yeah, well, we both were having a not so good sleep last night. She kept hitting me with her nightmares. Then she woke me up saying something about a ghastly."
"More like he woke up screaming like a little girl..." I heard her giggle, and lifted my head up. "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." She told me with a wink.
"Oh May, stop teasing the poor boy. He's deathly afraid of ghosts you know." I could hear the underlying laughter in Solidad's voice. "Oh, we're up." The first battles flew by, both of our teams winning.
Finally it was our turn. "Go Blaziken/Roserade!"
"Go Milotic/Lapras!"
"Lets get going!" The MC said, "Five minutes! Go!"
"Blaziken, sky upper cut!"
"Roserade, magical leaf!"
"Ice beam, Milotic!"
"Water gun Lapras!"
"Brickbreak Roserade/Blaziken!"
"Twister Milotic!"
"Blaziken, mach punch!"
"Will you look at these couples people? They are just going into the half minute mark and already Solidad and Robert have lost half of their points and Drew and May only a forth!"
"Roserade, razor leaf!"
"Blaziken, peck!"
"Use water fall, Lapras!"
"Surf Milotic!"
"Jump with Roserade in your arms!" May shouted just in time. The razor leaf hit, and Milotic cried out.
"Rest!"
"Now Blaziken! Mega over heat!"
"My goodness this is new! It's like a valcano erupting, it's so hot!" There was a buzz and two thuds. "The winners are May and Drew with over three minutes to spare....oh my, is Blaziken alright?"
"It isn't Blaziken we should worry about!" May said, recalling her pokemon as she rushed to Roserade. "I need a burn heal, ice pack, water, and a blanket." I handed her the burn heal, and worried bystanders hurried to get the rest. "It's okay girl. I forgot, I'm so sorry."
"Rose, ro, roserade, rade, roserade!" It cried, denying that it hurt.
"Shut up you arrogant little flower! Don't try to say such things! You are hurting, and you'll be okay." I put the ice on her head, and sat her in the bucket of water, the blanket on her shoulders. "Now relax."
"May, you idiotic....May? Are you okay?" Solidad asked, as I caught the girl. "This is what you get for standing too close."
"I...I forgot how strong that move really is okay? I didn't even think. Drew, can we please get out of here? I want to go take a nap. Roserade needs to be healed completely, and the only way to do that is Nurse Joy." I picked up my pokemon. "I'm sleepy."
"Drew, don't worry, I can take Roserade, you get May to bed." Solidad said, motioning to the passed out girl beside me.
I nodded, I couldn't believe the girl that I loved did such a stupid thing. "May, you are so idiotic." Of course she didn't respond. I carried her to our room, and layed her down. "Get better, I have to tell you, something." I laid down to sleep as well.
It wasn't but three hours later when I woke up to a shrill scream from my girlfriend. "May! Wake up! Come on love." She sat up and clonked heads with me. "Are you okay?"
"A nightmare....so many bodies, you dying again....wedding disrupted...."
"May, it's not going to happen, we'll be fine. We'll be together for forever. I promise you on my pokemon and skill." She nodded. I sighed, I had to tell her. "May, I need to tell you something really important."
"What is it?"
"May, you never asked me, why didn't I ask about Nightmare?"
"Where are you going with this?" May had a hard look in her eyes.
"When we first met, I was sent to find you. I was sent to kill you by Nightshade. I was third in command back then even if I was only eleven." I looked away from her hurt eyes. "Yet when I saw you, I couldn't do it. You were so nice and caring. You didn't take orders. I couldn't do it. So I stayed away from here and decided I would never listen to them again. I broke away. I'm a tratior. I feel in love with the enemy, May. Then when I heard that Delta was one too, I couldn't stand it May. I had to do something. I broke away."
"Drew...look at me. I'm not scared or mad. You didn't lie or anything, so why won't you..."
"Are you not listening? I was sent to kill you..."
"But you didn't." Her hand shot under my chin and yanked it up. I saw the tears and felt broken. "You felt like you had to stop it! That's what it means to be a protector!" I pulled her into a hug and started to cry. I couldn't believe how broken I was, me Drew, broken and crying. "Oh Drew." She started to rock us back and forth. "It's okay...we'll make it through, like you said, right?"
