October 26th (Somewhere in Hoenn)

(May's POV)

After we were teleported, the girls and I found ourselves at the top of a mountain. It was snowing like crazy which was odd because it shouldn't be snowing up here.

"Of course we get stuck on a snowy mountain," Dawn complained loudly over the wind.

"This is Mt. Chimney and there shouldn't be any snow up here," I shouted over the wind. "Either way, we need to get down from here. The sooner we do that, the sooner we feel warmer weather."

"How are we gonna get down from here, it's impossible to see," Misty yelled.

"We could have Lucario make a small shield so we can see where we are going for a short period," Leaf yelled.

"Sounds like a plan. Lucario, let's go," I shouted while tossing his pokeball. "Lucario, can you make a shield for us?"

"Ruh," he nodded and did as I said.

"We need to move quickly because Lucario can't stay like this forever," I shouted and started to walk ahead.

We reached about a third down the mountain before the snow was falling normally and Lucario was exhausted.

"Return," I called as I returned Lucario.

"We still need to keep going to get down the mountain before it becomes dark," I said estimating from the position of the sun that it was close to noon.

"Well, let's get going," Dawn said cheerfully not watching where she was going.

"Dawn wait!" I shouted making her freeze.

"Why?" she asked concerned.

"Be careful where you're walking, you almost fell off the cliff," I said.

"Eep!" she said and jumped back from the edge.

"I'll take the lead," I called.

"I second that," Dawn said shakily.

Soon we started descending down the mountain again, "I wonder how the guys are doing?" Dawn asked.

"They're probably working as hard as we are to make their way back to school," I said.


A Few Hours Earlier (Lilycove City, Hoenn)

(Drew's POV)

We watched the girls as they got their backpacks and were teleported off to their destination.

"Well, we're up next," I said tiredly.

"Pulling close to an all-nighter was one of the dumbest ideas I think we've had in a while," Gary sighed as we walked up to Mr. Stone who looked disappointed at us.

"Here are your backpacks with limited supplies," he said as he handed out purple, black, red, and lime green backpacks. "Good luck."

I turned to see Solidad who looked disappointed as well.

"Slowbro use Teleport," she said tiredly and we were soon teleported on a mountain, with snow?

"Okay, this is not normal," I said shivering. We so did not dress well for this either.

"I'll say, snow shouldn't occur here. Anyways, we have to get down from here," Gary said shakily while rubbing himself for warmth.

"Well, we better start walking," I said.

Technically we didn't walk the first bit. I stopped at a ledge suddenly, but everyone ran into me causing us to roll down a slope making us wrap into a snowball effect.

We landed about third down the mountain cold and dizzy, "I blame you idiots," Paul said gruffly.

Gary tossed his pokeball, "Arcanine usssseeee flamethhhhhrrower to meelllttt the sssnow," he said while shivering.

He did as he was told causing the snow to melt and us to become dizzy, cold, and wet.

Gary returned Arcanine and we continued to walk down the mountain cold and wet. When we were just half way down, we had to stop and eat unless we wanted to hear any more complaining from Ash about food.

We saw sandwiches and a little bit of water which we decided to eat as we continued to walk down. The snow stopped, but it was still cold. It got worse when we angered a herd of Camerupt. We battled as best as we could but all our pokemon were at a type advantage. So in the end, we high-tailed it out of there and collapsed from exhaustion at the bottom of the mountain.

"We are sssoooo out of it today," Gary complained.

He was right, we weren't thinking straight because we were tired and it didn't help because I think we all caught terrible colds as we all started to sneeze.

"Guess May was right when she said we were screwed ACHOO," Ash sneezed out almost causing Pikachu to fall over his shoulder.

"What's that?" Paul asked while pointing to an egg with what looked like a note on top.

I picked the egg up and read the note aloud, "Congratulations, you found your item. Now bring it back to the school safely."

"I forgot we were to find snomething to guard while bringing it back to the snhool," Gary said tiredly with a stuffed up nose.

"We snhould keep walking before it gets any darker ah ah ACHOO," I said with a stuffed up nose.

We keep walking with the egg til we became delirious with fever and collapsed on the ground leaving Pikachu extremely concerned.


(Somewhere in Hoenn)

(May's POV)

Thankfully we made it down the mountain safely and were walking south to avoid crossing the desert. As we walked along the way, I kept picking different herbs and berries just to be safe and the girls followed my lead and grabbed some as well. Soon we were walking through the forest south of the volcano when Dawn stopped.

"What's that?" she asked as she pointed at an egg with a note on it.

I walked over to pick it up and read the note aloud, "Congratulations, you found your item. Now bring it back to the school safely."

"So I guess this is the item we were supposed to find," Leaf said thinking out loud.

"Misty, can you check the map?" I asked.

"Sure," she said as she got out the map of the region.

"From the looks of it so far, we're making good time. If we can cross the small path between the two forests before it gets dark, we should be good," Leaf said happily.

"I think we'll make it, the sun should disappear in about two hours," I guessed.

"Well, we better get a move on then," Misty said as she put the map away.

Thankfully, we reached the other side in time and stopped to set up camp by a lake, "Leaf and Misty, why don't you get firewood while Dawn and I try to whip up something to eat," I proposed.

"Sounds good May," they said and went off to find firewood.

I grabbed out a pot that was in my bag and had Dawn fill it with water from the lake while I started to cut some veggies and stuff that was in our backpacks for food. After the soup, the only thing for food that we had left was sandwiches and a few more vegetables. Just enough food for us to have until we reached school.

"It's so pretty around here," Dawn said in awe as she came back with the pot of water.

"You're right, it's so peaceful here," I said happily.

Soon Leaf and Misty came back with a good amount of firewood and we had Quilava start a fire. Soon the soup was simmering nicely as we set up our given sleeping bags in a square around the fire while the sun soon disappeared.

I made a little bit of pokemon food from the berries I picked and we let out our pokemon. We were about to eat when we heard a pokemon roar scarring us to death.

"What in Ho-oh's name was that!" Misty said shaken up.

"I don't know. Misty and Dawn, you stay here to watch the camp with your pokemon. Leaf and I will go to investigate," I called.

Soon we walked into the forest of where we heard the sound, "Lucario, you feel any auras?" I asked.

"Yes, I sense a bunch over there," he said telepathically while pointing his paw.

Suddenly, we heard a lot of noise like a pokemon battle, "Let's go," I said as we ran to where the commotion was happening.

"Oh no!" Leaf cried as she saw a bunch of angry Breloom and Victreebel surrounding the guys who were knocked out on the ground as Pikachu tried to fight them off but just fainted from exhaustion.

"Leaf, find Gary's pokeball. I'll find Drew's and Paul's," I said quickly. "Lucario, use Aura Sphere."

"Ruh," he nodded and did as I asked causing a distraction for Leaf, Espeon, and me to get to the guys.

I threw the guys pokeballs along with Leaf and we saw that the guys brought Torterra, Absol, and Arcanine.

"Guys, you have to help us. Drew, Gary, and Paul are in no condition to fight right now," I said concerned and they nodded.

"Arcanine use Flamethrower and Espeon use Swift," Leaf shouted.

"Torterra use Leaf Storm, Absol use Razor Wind, and Lucario use Aura Sphere," I shouted.

Soon the attacks hit the pokemon causing most of the pokemon to leave scared by some Breloom stayed and started to use Energy Ball rapid fire.

"Use Psychic to those Energy Balls," Leaf shouted to Espeon who did as she was told.

"Arcanine use Flamethrower again," Leaf shouted.

"Lucario use Aura Sphere, Absol use Dark Pulse, and Torterra use Stone Edge," I shouted.

The attacks hit the remaining pokemon causing them to run away in retreat.

Leaf and I soon ran up to Drew and Gary to see that there were sweating badly and looked pale. I read their auras and I didn't like what I saw.

"Please tell me I'm wrong," I said to Lucario.

"Your reading is correct. Your friend's auras are extremely low due to illness and exhaustion," he said to me telepathically.

"Arcanine and Torterra, do you think you can carry the guys back to our camp?" I asked.

They nodded, "Espeon use Psychic to lift Gary and Ash on Arcanine and Paul and Drew on Torterra," Leaf commanded.

Espeon did as she was asked while Leaf carried their egg and I carried Pikachu. We then slowly made our way to camp.

Misty and Dawn gasped, "What in the name of Mew happened?!" Dawn asked concerned.

"The guys were fainted on the ground as Pikachu tried to stop a group of Breloom and Victreebel from hurting them," I explained.

"What's wrong with them?" Misty asked.

"They're terribly sick and need medicine quickly. Grab the guy's sleeping bags and put them on top of ours so they have a better place to lie down," I said as I put Pikachu on the ground slowly before getting Drew's sleeping bag to put on top of mine.

"We should take them out of their wet clothes," Leaf said.

"How are we to do that?" Dawn asked while blushing.

"Leaf, have Espeon use Psychic. She should be able to concentrate on getting the clothes off but their underwear once we set the guys in their sleeping bags," I said as I started unzipping Drew's sleeping bag so Espeon could use Psychic to lift the guys and them lay them down.

After Espeon laid them down, I zipped up the sleeping bag slightly and Espeon used Psychic to take the guys clothes off but their underwear and set them next to us.

"Thanks a ton Espeon," I said gratefully while zipping up Drew's sleeping bag to help keep him warm.

I took off my sweatshirt and folded it up into a pillow type shaped so Drew didn't have to lay his head on the ground.

The girls followed my lead looking really concerned, "Dawn and Misty, why don't you build another fire a few feet away and try to dry their clothes, take Quilava, Staryu, and Arcanine with you. Leaf and I will try to make some medicine," I called.

We split off and started to do our tasks, "Thank goodness we collected all those berries and herbs we saw today," Leaf said relieved.

"So am I though the one thing we need is Sitrus Berries but we don't have any so Oran Berry will have to do for now," I said tiredly.

Soon, Misty and Dawn came back with the guys clothes being dry from Arcanine's and Quilava's heat.

"You girls want to take the buckets from your backpacks and fill them with water, we're gonna want the guys to keep drinking fluids," I said as I smushed up some Oran Berries.

The girls went down to the lake and got some water before quickly coming back. I took out the swiss army knife from my backpack and cut off a small part of my pant legs turning them into capris. Then I used the cut up pieces into a make shift cloth to stick in the bucket of water and put on Drew's forehead to help bring down the fever.

I quickly went back to making the meds as the girls followed my lead and sat next to the guys making sure they were alright. I finished making the meds and poured it into the guy's cups from their backpacks which I handed to the girls.

I sat next to Drew and lifted him up gently before having him sip the medicine and laying him back down.

"Looks like we get to play the role of Nurse Joy," I said sadly before standing up and giving Pikachu to Misty so she could watch over him after giving him some revival medicine.

I quickly finished making food for the guy's pokemon and gave it to them to eat before I grabbed the girl's bowls and spoons and dished up soup for them.

"May, how can you stay so calm and know everything about this?" Dawn said as she sat next to Paul and ate.

"I guess it's experience I learned while being near a lot of Nurse Joys all the time," I said while shrugging my shoulders.

"I wonder how the guys got into this mess in the first place?" Leaf wondered.

Lucario then began talking to Pikachu who was beginning to get his strength back.

"Pikachu said that the guys were placed on the same mountain top like you were and rolled down a portion of it winding up cold, dizzy and wet. Once Arcanine dried them off, they ran into an angry herd of Camerupt and their pokemon's attacks didn't do much damage so they ran quite a ways to get away from them. Then just kept walking and fainted from exhaustion," he told me telepathically.

I soon told the girls what Lucario told me, "So basically they caught terrible colds which is probably up to pneumonia at this point because of all the running and walking they did afterwards," Dawn concluded.

"For the most part, it doesn't help they weren't dressed well in the beginning," I added.

Soon the guys started to mumble and slowly wake up, "Where are we?" Drew asked weakly as he tried to sit up.

"You're at our camp, now stay down before you hurt yourself," I said gently as I guided him to lie back down.

"What happened?" Ash asked weakly.

"After you fainted, a group of Breloom and Victreebel attacked you. Pikachu tried to defend you guys and fainted from exhaustion by the time May and Leaf came to investigate the loud noises we heard," Misty explained.

"Ugh, I feel terrible," Gary complained.

"Well, you probably have pneumonia after all you went through today," Leaf retorted gently.

I took my cup and filled with water to give to Drew who gladly accepted it, "Thanks May," he said weakly with a smile and the girls did the same.

I quickly grabbed the guy's bowls and spoons to dish them up some soup before passing them out.

"This feels so good," Ash said happily as he started to eat.

"I'll say, this hits the spot on so many levels," Gary sighed.

The guys finished their soup and the girls and I gave them more medicine before they laid back down and fell asleep.

I gave a sad smile at Drew before taking the cloth on his forehead and made it wet again. As I set it back on his forehead, I started to take my hand and run my fingers through his hair to help release the tension in his head. As I was doing that, Drew had a small smile on his face.

After we kept the cloth on the guys' foreheads moist and giving them water for a few hours, the girls fell asleep next to them as our pokemon sat behind us in a circle to guard us from any pokemon outside and Lucario watched the pokemon eggs.

Before I drifted off to sleep, I gave Drew a kiss on his cheek causing a small smile to appear again before lying down and falling asleep.


October 27th (Somewhere in Hoenn)

I was sleeping peacefully when I felt someone shake me awake gently.

"Ruh," Lucario said.

I opened my eyes to see I was a little bit always from Drew's face and scooted back.

"Ruh," Lucario teased.

"Oh shush," I said while blushing.

"Ruh," he said sternly.

"You're right, we should get moving now if we want to get a good deals distance especially since the guys are sick," I agreed. "You replace the water in the buckets while I wake the girls up."

He nodded and took the buckets to get more water while I shook the girls awake who were in the same position as I was a little bit ago.

"We should get a move on especially since the guys are ill," I said as the girls sat up rubbing the sleep from their eyes.

Misty, Leaf, and I started to make food for the pokemon along with more medicine to take along for the guys. Dawn had Quilava start the fire so that we could reheat and eat the soup from last night. Soon the soup was warm and I poured everyone some in bowls for the girls to take back to their seat.

"Guys, wake up," we said gently while gently shaking them awake.

They slowly woke up and groaned, "Ugh, my head is killing me and I feel sore all over," Ash complained as the guys nodded gently in agreement.

"Sorry you guys, but we still have to keep traveling whether you like it or not," I said sadly as I gave Drew his bowl of soup.

"This wouldn't have happened if we were so stupid in planning. I guess we should take things more seriously," Gary muttered.

Soon everyone was done with their soup and the girls and I handed the guys their clothes, "Care to explain?" Gary asked teasingly while Leaf blushed.

"You were soaking wet when we found you. So we had Espeon use Psychic to take your clothes off after we put you in the sleeping bags so we can dry them. While you change, the girls and I will wash the dishes," I said firmly before grabbing all the dishes as did the girls so no more comments could be said and we walked a little ways from the camp to wash them.

"How are we gonna have the guys travel, they shouldn't be walking at all," Leaf said.

I sighed, "They're gonna have to walk until they're tired and then they'll have to ride on Arcanine and Torterra for a while before they have to walk again because the pokemon can't carry them all the way," I said sadly.

"I guess that's what we'll have to do," Misty sighed.

By the time we finished washing the dishes and refilling all the water bottles, the guys put away the sleeping bags and put out the fire while the girls and I finished packing everything up and were holding the pokemon eggs.

The girls and I helped support the boys in walking since they were already tired and began to feel dizzy. We did so for two hours before the pokemon came up and said that they would carry them for a while.

When Mr. Stone said this was a camping challenge, he sure wasn't kidding. We ate our sandwiches as we walked through lunch. Despite the guys being ill, we were actually making good time.

As we walked, I continued to pick berries and herbs so that there would be enough for making some more medicine when we camped for the night. Then I saw a Sitrus berry tree and picked as many berries as I could because these berries would help the guys heal faster.

I was looking at the position of the sun to see that it was close to setting. Suddenly, a Thunderbolt came at us and I used my aura to create a shield.

"What was that?!" Dawn yelled in fright.

Suddenly we were surrounded by a bunch of Raichu, Dustox, Parasect, Ariados, and Vigoroth who looked angry.

"Lucario, you and the other pokemon along with me will surround everyone else. Girls, you shout commands to the pokemon from the middle," I said taking a battle stance.

"Lucario use Aura Sphere, Absol use Razor Wind, Espeon use Swift, Arcanine use Flamethrower, Quilava use Flamethrower, Torterra use Stone Edge, Pikachu use Thunderbolt, and Staryu use Watergun," the girls and I shouted.

The pokemon then unleashed their attacks while I shot Aura Spheres. Soon attacks were thrown back at us and Dawn a gash in the arm by Poison Sting.

"Dawn!" we cried as she gripped her arm in pain but had a look of determination on her face.

"Use your attacks again," she yelled to Torterra and Quilava.

"You too," Misty, Leaf, and I shouted.

Some of the pokemon fled but a bunch remained and they retaliated back harshly causing Quilava and Staryu to faint.

"Again," the girls and I shouted as we threw our barrage of attacks again sending more pokemon to flee in retreat, but the ones who remained became madder and shot attacks at us again. This time, Misty got hit by Swift in the leg making a huge gash.

"Misty!" we cried.

Now I was getting mad, what the heck is wrong with these pokemon, "Lucario, what is going on?" I asked frustrated and the pokemon and I threw our attacks again.

"I sense confusion and unbalance, but I can't really read their aura and fight at the same time," he said frustrated.

"Great," I said annoyed.

Now about half of the mad pokemon remained and they knocked out Pikachu, Absol, and Espeon. Then a Shadow Ball hit Leaf in the head causing her to fall on the ground hard making a gash open on her head and for her to become unconscious. Now I was filled with rage.

"ENOUGH!" I shouted as I crossed my arms to my shoulders and flung out a huge ring like attack of aura scaring the remaining pokemon away.

"Lucario, can you scout out a safe area. We're gonna have to stay here tonight," I said tiredly from the huge drain of aura.

I put my backpack on the ground and began to cut my pant legs some more so that I had shorts about mid-thigh. I took out the first aid kit and began to mix berries and herbs together for the girls' wounds. I was worried about Leaf since she fell unconscious. I went to the girls and cleaned out their wounds with stuff from the first aid kit. Then I cut my pant legs into strips and dipped them into the berry potion to soak before wrapping the girls' wounds.

"There's a safe place by a lake five minutes northeast," Lucario said telepathically.

"There's a safe place to rest five minutes from here. Can you guys walk that far?" I asked.

They nodded in determination and I turned to Arcanine, "I know you're exhausted from battling, but can you carry Leaf for that short period?" I asked.

He nodded and I put Leaf on his back before we walked up to meet Lucario. When we got there, he started to gather firewood for the fire. He picked a good place, a lake was nearby and there were eight tree trunks in a circle with an open area where we could put the fire.

"Guys get out your sleeping bags and crawl in them. You're in no condition to be standing up any longer. Dawn, I want you to watch the pokemon eggs and lie down as well since you got hit with a poison attack and you lost a lot of blood. Misty, you set up next to Leaf so you can keep an eye on her and don't overdo yourself either, you lost a lot of blood too," I said as I started to make medicine for the guys and tea for the girls and myself.

Lucario came back with a good amount of firewood and began a fire. I put the tea on and began to make a revival potion to help the pokemon regain their energy and to heal their wounds, "May, your leg is bleeding!" Dawn cried.

I looked at it to see that she was right, "Well, what do ya know," I said as I finished making the revival potion and started to make soup for supper.

"Aren't you gonna heal yourself," Drew asked walking towards me.

"Drew, what are you doing up?!" I asked stunned and place my hand on his forehand. "Get back down, your fever is coming back."

"May, you can't handle this by yourself," he said tiredly and looked pale.

"I'll manage," I said as I helped walk him back to his sleeping bag before he collapsed from dizziness. "Besides, Lucario is helping out. Now lie down."

He didn't argue, but looked upset that he couldn't help me.

I went back to fixing the soup and put it on the fire to simmer and I took the tea off. I then distributed the meds to the guys and the tea to the girls.

"Lucario, can you fill both of the buckets with water?" I asked tiredly.

"Ruh," he nodded and went to do as I asked.

In the meantime, I called out the fainted pokemon and gave them the revival potion causing them to perk up with a smile.

"Can you guys watch your respective trainers, I'll fix your food in a second," I said with a small smile.

They nodded and sat near their trainers as Lucario came back with the water. He then grabbed the guys' cups and gave them some water to drink.

"Thanks Lucario," I said tiredly.

"Ruh," he said concerned.

"No, I'll rest after I have the satisfaction that everyone is okay at the moment," I said firmly.

"May, don't overwork yourself," Misty said concerned.

"Too late," I said as I handed the pokemon their food and then walked over to Leaf.

"I don't like this," I said extremely concerned and tried to focus on her aura. There was a part blocked in the brain, I focused my energy on the blockage and her aura started to flow normally again.

"What happened?" she asked sleepily.

"You got knocked out," I said.

"May, what did you do? Your hand turned blue for a second," Dawn said stunned.

"You've discovered your healing abilities with your aura," Arceus said to me. "You are one step closer in mastering your aura completely."

"May? You in there?" Leaf asked sitting up slowly.

"I'm here. Apparently, I've unlocked my healing abilities with aura," I stated.

"That's great May," Dawn said happily.

I went to grab some tea for Leaf, "Drink this, it'll help you feel better," I said.

"Thanks May," she said as she took a sip as she stood up.

I looked at the soup to see it was done and soon dished some up for everyone while Lucario helped replenish water for everyone.

"Thanks May," everyone said tiredly and began to eat while I treated the cut on my leg.

"May, you look ready to fall asleep?" Drew said concerned.

"To be honest, I feel drained on so many levels right now, but someone has to stay up," I argued.

The pokemon stared at me and spoke sternly to me meaning more or less that they could watch over everyone.

"Ruh," Lucario said sternly.

"Alright, I'll go to bed, but I expect everyone else to do the same soon. We have to wake up early if we want to make it to school in time," I said tiredly.

"We got it May, good night," the girls said as I laid down and passed out.


October 28th (Somewhere in Hoenn)

I woke up early the next morning feeling tired and anxious. I didn't really get any sleep at all last night and kept waking up constantly.

I got up quietly and got the fire going again, I also made more medicine for the guys and the girls to soak more cut up rags in. I started to work on making the pokemon food when Lucario woke up and looked at me concerned.

"Ruh?" he asked.

I sighed, "I am tired, but knowing my friends need medical treatment is making me stressed out. My medical knowledge only goes so far."

Lucario sighed and went to wake everyone up gently before starting to hand out soup for everyone. As he did that, I handed the pokemon their breakfast.

"May, you look terrible," Dawn said as everyone was eating.

"Thanks Dawn, every girl wants to hear that," I said sarcastically as I started to put my stuff away.

"May, what's wrong?" Drew asked.

I sighed, "I'm physically and emotionally drained, I'm also stressed about you guys. You should all be in the hospital for one reason or another and I don't know if my limited medical knowledge is gonna help you guys out much longer."

"May, we're fine. Besides, we should get to Lilycove City this afternoon," Dawn said cheerfully.

"I guess, can you girls cut off more of your pants? I want to change the bandages before we go," I said as I handed a swiss army knife to Dawn and started to give the guys their meds.

After I changed the bandages on the girls and myself, I went to wash the dishes and when I came back everyone had put their stuff away.

"We better get moving, the sooner we get back to school, the sooner I'll feel better knowing you're in the hospital," I said tiredly and we began our trek back to Lilycove City.

Thankfully, everyone was holding up for the most part and we ate lunch as we walked.

A little later, we saw Mt. Pyre in the distance meaning that we were about an hour away from Lilycove City. Suddenly, a focus blast came at use and I kicked it back with my foot.

"Not again," I whined while taking a battle stance and that other pokemon were on alert.

Suddenly a swarm on fifty pokemon surrounded us, "There's no way we can fight all of them," Dawn said scared.

The pokemon then sent a barrage of attacks and I put up an aura shield with Lucario's help, "What do we do now?" Leaf asked concerned as Gary pulled her into a comforting side hug as Ash along with Paul did the same with Dawn and Misty.

As I was gritting my teeth while using my power to keep the shield up, I tried to read some of the angry pokemon's auras. They were confused and unbalanced.

"They need harmony," Arceus said to me and I knew what I had to do.

The pokemon stopped attacking and I stopped holding up the shield and walked slowly toward the angry group.

"May, what are you doing?" Drew shouted concerned as he tried to follow but was blocked by Lucario.

I took a deep breath in and out before singing. As I sang, my aura felt light and the invisible force of it spread out and seemed to touch the angered pokemon. After I sang the last note, the pokemons' auras showed as being peaceful and they soon went back into the forest as I walked to my friends.


Team Rocket Headquarters

"Did you hear the voice again," the boss asked while stroking his Persian.

"Yes, but the voice wasn't as strong. It's strange sir, it's as if some force is making it harder for us to pick up the voice and continue to scan for it," Dr. Sebastian reported.

"Hmm…interesting," the boss said out loud in thought.


(Somewhere in Hoenn)

"That was awesome May, but how come you didn't faint like all the other times?" Misty asked as I walked up to the group.

"Arceus said that my fainting attacks were due to my aura energy building up when I sang and it had nowhere to go, so I would endure the pain inside and faint from it," I explained.

"That's good to hear you won't faint anymore from singing," Dawn said happily.

"Yea, right now, we need to keep walking back. We need to get you guys to a hospital," I said concerned and we continued the trek back to the school.

After what seemed like hours, we finally reached the entrance to the town, "Finally!" I shouted.

"Sheesh, calm down May," Drew teased.

"Hush you, I'll calm down after I see off to the hospital after we get to the school to check in," I said firmly.

We finally reached the school and recalled our pokemon before we walked into the arena to find everyone else from school there.

Everyone stared at us as we walked in while Mr. Stone and Solidad looked concerned because of the boys' pale, sickish faces and the girls and I being wrapped in make shift bandages.

"What in the world happened to you?" Solidad asked concerned as she took our pokemon eggs.

"The boys have pneumonia, Dawn got poisoned, Misty's got a gash on her leg, Leaf got knocked out on the head. I would like to see them all in the hospital," I explained sweetly.

"I want a story from you later. Right now, you look liked you met death, get going, I'll stop by later," Mr. Stone said as we left the auditorium for the hospital.

Once we got there, the hospital staff took over and everyone was being checked over including me.

"I'm surprised how healthy you are despite what you said," the doctors said amazed.

"Thanks to May, I don't know how we would have survived if it wasn't for her," everyone said.

"Young lady, you have more medical experience than most people your age, you should be proud," they said.

I blushed lightly and grinned sheepishly as I put a hand behind my head, "It's hard not to when you've grown up around Nurse Joys your whole life."

"Well, all we can do for you is to prescribe meds and a ton of rest," the doctors said.

"That won't be a problem," I said while yawning. "I think I'll sleep for hours."

We left the hospital and walked back to the dorm, "Well, that was a challenge for sure," Leaf said.

"Thank goodness we had you May, who knows how we would be if you weren't there," Misty said gratefully.

I cringed, "I don't want to think about it," I said causing everyone to frown.

"That really bothered you throughout the whole trip didn't it?" Drew asked concerned.

"Oh course it did, I care about all of you guys too much and I just wanted to make sure everyone was keeping up okay," I said honestly.

"Even me?" Drew teased with a smirk.

I smirked, "Even you grasshead, you guys are the closest friends I've made and trust me, I don't have very many."

Dawn gave me a hug causing one huge group hug to happen, "We all say the same because you've become one of our closest friends too," she said happily as we reached the dorm.

I looked at the kitchen clock to see that it read 8:30, "Night you guys, I'm gonna go to bed," I said with a yawn.

"I think all agree with that," Misty said tiredly and we all split off to go to our rooms.

Dawn and I took quick showers before getting in our pjs and falling asleep instantly. I was gonna need all the rest I could get because tomorrow and Saturday promised to be busy and exciting.
