November 4th (Lilycove City, Hoenn)
(May's POV)
The next morning, I woke up, quickly changed, and grabbed my pokeballs and backpack before heading to the kitchen to make French toast. While it was cooking, I grabbed some pokemon food I made yesterday and fed my pokemon.
Soon everyone walked into the kitchen from smelling the French toast, "What's for breakfast?" Ash asked dreamily.
"French toast," I said as I returned my pokemon and cleaned up their bowls.
"Yum, you sure know how to make a good breakfast May," Dawn said happily.
"I try," I said with a smile as I started to put French toast on the table for everyone to eat.
Soon we were done eating and left for homeroom, "I find it strange that Brandi hasn't tried to kill you yet Lin?" Dawn asked curiously as we were walking.
"I know," I agreed. "I'm beginning to wonder if she even knows I'm Drew's girlfriend."
"I'm not sure, she hasn't given any signs that she knows," Misty said.
"I think it would be best if our relationship should be hidden for the time being," I said to Drew.
"I don't mind, any particular reason why?" Drew asked.
"Well for one thing, your fan club will try to kill me, but more importantly, it's the forced attention that worries me like with the singing competition. I'm trying to keep a low profile which doesn't really seem to work," I explained.
"Don't worry about it; the thing you should worry about is Mrs. Roberge's English test. I still feel like I'm gonna fail and I studied for hours yesterday," Leaf whined.
"Don't worry about it Leaf," Gary said as he kissed her cheek. "You'll do fine. Besides, you're a smart cookie."
Suddenly I started getting a call on my poketch and saw that it was Max, "What's up Max?" I asked.
"You've got an urgent caller on your hotline."
I closed my eyes and used my aura to see if anyone but us was in the area and thankfully no one else was around.
"Patch them through," I said as the gang stood around curious.
I looked at the screen and saw that it was Paris the fashion designer.
"Bonjour Paris, comment puis-je vous aider?" I asked in French. (Hello Paris, how can I help you?)
"Mai, je suis dans un tas de vols de bijoux lors de mes spectacles les plus récentes de la mode et les bijoux sont empruntés à des familles riches qui ont besoin de les ramener ici demain. Je me demandais si vous pouviez passer sous couverture pour mon défilé de mode aujourd'hui de trouver le voleur et obtenir le dos du bijou," she said extremely worried. (May, I'm experiencing a bunch of jewelry thefts during my most recent fashion shows and the jewels are borrowed from wealthy families who need them back by tomorrow. I was wondering if you could go undercover for my fashion show today to find the thief and get the jewel's back.)
"Je peux venir dans quelques heures, ça vous dérange si mes amis m'aident?" I asked. (I can come in a few hours, do you mind if my friends help me out?)
"Cela ne me dérange pas, je suppose que le plus sera le mieux. Je vais envoyer mon jet privé en quelques heures, vous voir alors," she said and ended the call. (I don't mind, I suppose the more the better. I'll send my private jet in a few hours, see you then.)
"Care to translate s'il vous plait?" Drew asked.
I looked surprised, "I didn't know you understood French," I said surprised.
"I only know a few phrases, but who was that?" he asked.
"That was Paris the fashion designer, she's been hit by a bunch of jewelry thefts in her fashion shows recently. The pieces being stolen are being borrowed from wealthy families and they want their pieces back tomorrow. Paris asked if I could go undercover and find the thief along with the jewels. She also gave her permission in letting you guys come along with you want," I explained.
"Do you even have to ask me?" Dawn demanded.
I smiled, "I knew you would want to come, but that doesn't mean everyone else wants to."
"Of course we'll come. If anything, it'll be interesting and we'll get to skip part of school today and the whole day tomorrow," Misty said.
I was confused, "Why are you skipping tomorrow?" I asked.
"Don't you know?" Dawn asked.
"I've only known you guys for two months, that doesn't mean I know everything," I deadpanned.
"My bad, it slipped my mind because I never like going to it. My family throws a charity event every once in a while to help raise money for different organizations," Drew explained.
"Let me guess, your mom would try to auction you off to the highest bidder for a date," I teased.
"How do you know that?" he asked surprised.
I laughed, "It's obvious because of your huge fan club across the region and your mother would do something like that for a good cause," I said with a smirk.
Drew smirked back at me, "Maybe I'll be let off the hook since technically I'm not single."
"Think about that later, right now we have to get to homeroom and take that English test later," I reminded.
"Oh, why did you have to mention it again?" Leaf whined. "Ugh, why do I stink at English, I just can't seem to do well."
"Leaf, you'll do fine. Besides, here's a tip. Try using a secret reader for the test?" I suggested.
"A what?" Misty asked confused.
"A secret reader, you imagine someone reading the test to you like a singer or actor you like. That way, more information retains in your head from hearing someone else's voice reading your test to you and you can understand what you're reading better," I explained.
"How do you know that it'll work?" Leaf asked.
I winked, "Trust me," I said as we walked into homeroom and I took a seat next to Drew.
Before we knew it, it was lunch and all of us but Paul had taken the English test. Leaf looked extremely nervous even though she took the test two class periods ago.
"Leaf, you took the test. Now relax before you get an ulcer," I said trying to calm her down.
Suddenly there was a bunch of shouting with Brandi chasing a small Chikorita into the cafeteria, "Come back here you little runt so I can whip ya," Brandi screeched.
"Chika," she said scared and was backed into a corner of the room while Brandi called out Rapidash.
"Use Flamethrower," Brandi yelled.
"Lucario Bone Rush," I shouted as I threw his pokeball.
"Ruh," he said as he did protect in front of Chikorita.
"Recall your pokemon," I said sternly as I stood next to Lucario.
"Why should I? That brat of a pokemon slammed me into the school fountain and it's gonna pay," she snapped.
"That's no reason to scare a baby pokemon. Now return your pokemon before I make you," I said venomously.
She returned her pokemon quickly and ran out of the lunchroom knowing that I would make her.
"Lucario stand back, your presence is a little bit intimidating," I said gently.
"Ruh," he said and stood next to my friends.
"It's okay little one, I'm not gonna hurt you," I said gently.
"Chika," she said scared as she shook from fear.
I took a step closer and put my hand out.
She used Razor Leaf and started to scratch me up, "Lin!" my friends cried.
I raised my arm out for them to stop coming toward me, "It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you," I said again as I got closer and put my hand for her to sniff.
She sniffed it and began to cry softly due to being traumatized earlier. I took her in my arms and made my way back to the lunch table so I could grab my backpack and return Lucario.
"I'll see you guys later, I'm gonna help Chikorita out since the poor thing's been traumatized," I said looking at her empathically. "I'll meet you guys back at the dorm after fifth period. Drew, can you copy the homework down for me?"
"I suppose I could," he said with a smirk as I made my way back to the dorm with little Chikorita crying softly.
"Shhh…it's okay little one, no one's gonna hurt you," I said gently while petting her leaf as we entered the dorm.
I went into the kitchen and grabbed some berry potion to help her calm down and give her energy. As I sat on the couch with Chikorita on my lap, I used my aura to see how she was doing. Her wounds were healed, but she was still scared.
"Chika," she said sadly as she noticed that I was scratched up.
"It's okay, you didn't mean it. You were scared," I said gently as I pet her leaf making her smile and use Sweet Scent.
Soon everyone walked back through door, "Why's it smell so nice in here?" Leaf asked.
"Chikorita used Sweet Scent," I said as I continued to pet her making her beam in happiness.
Max soon called on my poketch, "Hey Max, what's up?" I asked.
"The gadgets for your mission are in your safe," he said. "And Paris' jet will be at the airport in thirty minutes."
"Thanks Max," I said as I stood up but Chikorita began to look sad. "I'll be back, don't worry."
Soon I walked into my room to pull out gadgets for everyone and went back to the common room.
"Hey Max, care to explain the gadgets," I asked as I called on my poketch.
"Sure, give me a sec."
Suddenly a part of the wall slide open and a huge screen came out with Max's picture and alongside it was a column with a picture of each gadget.
"Geez Max, did you hack the whole dorm or something?" I asked.
"No, but I figured putting a monitor in would prove usefully for stuff like this," he explained. "It's basically a huge touch screen computer."
"Care to explain the gadgets?" I asked getting back on topic.
"Okay, first there's the poketch, it's the latest model with a grappling gun, small computer scanner, and a bunch of other features, you guys can keep those."
"Thanks Max," Leaf said as she grabbed an emerald green one.
Everyone else soon grabbed theirs, Misty's was teal, Dawn's was pink, Gary's was purple, Paul's was black, Ash's was dark blue, Drew's was lime green, and mine was red.
"Next there's the earbud communicator, infrared contact lenses, and the holographic generator ring."
"What does the holographic generator ring do?" Dawn asked.
"It changes your facial features," I explained as I put mine on and it showed I had short black hair, green eyes, and my facial features changed.
I took it off as Max continued, "May gets the laser nail file, the fingernail darts, and the tracking device pendant. Just press the center in front of whatever piece of jewelry you'll wear and it will mimic it," Max said. "Also I downloaded a map of the building where the fashion show is to take place."
"You rock Max, as always," I said with a grin. "We'll keep you posted."
"We better get going and take Chikorita to the Pokemon Center," Drew said as we left the dorm.
We soon walked into the center to find Brock at the front desk, "Hi you guys, what can I do for ya?" he asked.
"Can you watch Chikorita, we need to get going," I said hoping he would catch the point.
"Of course Lin," he said in understanding as I put Chikorita on the ground.
"Chika," she cried and used Vine Whip to stop me.
"Chika," she said as she walked up to me and rubbed her head against my leg causing Brock to smile in amusement.
"It seems that Chikorita doesn't want you to leave," Brock said.
"Do you want to come with me?" I asked.
"Chika," she said while nodding happily.
I grabbed an empty pokeball before stooping down and Chikorita tapped the center causing her to go inside.
The pokeball shook and a moment later it dinged. I picked it up and let Chikorita out. She jumped into my arms and began to snuggle.
"Now Chikorita, I want you to stay in your pokeball once we get on the plane okay? I don't want you to get hurt while we're busy, understand?" I asked.
"Chika," she said firmly while nodding her head.
I gave her a smile and put her on the ground so she could walk beside me.
Soon we reached the airport and I saw Paris' plane with Paris' butler, "Bonjour Emile," I greeted.
"Bonjour Mademoiselle," he said formally.
"Bonjour May," Paris said.
"Bonjour Paris," I greeted happily.
"Emile partons immédiatement," Paris said as we all got on board. (Emile let us depart immediately.)
"Oui Madame," he said as the plane doors closed and we were talking off for Hearthome City.
"Thanks so much for helping me out May," she said gratefully.
"I'm glad to help. These are the friends I was talking to you about earlier," I said gesturing with my hand.
"Quel garçon est celui qui était censé être pris fixement vous pour retour?" she asked causing me to blush. (Which boy is the one who was supposed to be caught staring at you for homecoming?)
"L'une greenhaired," I said. (The greenhaired one.)
"Not that I want to be rude, but can you please speak English," Misty said a little annoyed.
"Sorry, I have a habit of speaking French constantly," Paris said sheepishly.
"So what has been happening with the jewel thefts?" I asked.
Paris sighed, "At everyone fashion show since Sunday, someone comes in and causes smoke to appear around the model wearing the necklace. Then the thief steals the necklace and takes off without a trace."
"Alright, we'll do our best to help catch the thief. Can you pull up your designing table so my friends and I can plan?" I asked.
"Sure," she said as she pressed a button for a table to appear.
"Merci Paris," I said as I pressed a few buttons on the screen and a map of the runway and backstage appeared.
"Paris, what's the piece of jewelry being shown today?" Leaf asked.
"The Ruby Teardrop, it's being worn with the last dress on the fashion show," she said.
"Okay, would it work for me to take place of the model?" I asked.
"Actually, the model who was supposed to wear that dress got sick this morning," Paris said.
"For the dresses that me and Dawn have to wear, do you have duplicates?" I asked.
"Yes, I've had the habit of doing that after the first incident of when you went undercover as a model for me," she said with a smile.
"Wait, you were a model before?" Dawn asked.
"Yea, for about five hours and I ripped the dress in the process, but I struck inspiration for Paris though in designing dresses after that," I said sheepishly.
"You're gonna look so pretty May," Dawn gushed. "You're so lucky."
"Out of curiosity, what is the last dress?" Leaf asked.
I blushed slightly, "It's a tradition at the end of every fashion show to end with a wedding dress," I explained.
"I believe it'll suit you nicely May," Paris said.
I nodded before continuing and changing the topic, "So I guess the plan is that Dawn and I will go uncover as models. Misty and Leaf will be undercover backstage and the guys will take spots around the runway."
"Madame, we are about to land," Emile said.
We soon put on the contact lenses, holographic generators, and earbud communicators. After we landed, a car came and transported us to the building where the fashion show was to be. We split off in different directions and started looking for anything suspicious. We didn't find anything and soon the fashion show was beginning. Dawn was being dressed her in her first dress along with myself while the guys got into position and Leaf and Misty kept an eye open backstage.
The fashion show was coming to a close and I quickly made the tracking device pendant look like the Ruby Teardrop and got dressed in the wedding gown.
"Any signs of suspicion?" I asked.
"Negative out here," Gary said.
"Negative backstage," Leaf said.
"Drew, do a scan at the rafters. I think that's probably where the thief will come down," I said as I started to walk toward backstage.
"You look so pretty May," Dawn gushed.
"Ditto," Leaf and Misty said at the same time.
"Girls focus," I said sternly. "Drew did you find anything?"
"No…..….wait, there is someone up there," he said urgently.
"Girls, get up front," I said quickly as I walked out onto the runway in the wedding dress.
The wedding dress was strapless with a red outline border on top with white and silver gems along with embroidery. The top also had a detailed design in silver embroidery while the skirt had the same detailed silver embroidery design on the front and the edge of the skirt and the train had red trim. The back of the dress had a strip of red in the middle that went from the back to the edge of the train.
As I made my way up to the front, smoke began to appear. What the gang didn't know was that I was gonna be kidnapped since the thieves couldn't take the necklace off me in the short period of time that they had.
"May!" Drew yelled.
"Max, now!" I shouted as a rag was placed on my face causing me to go unconscious.
(Drew's POV)
"May!" I shouted.
"Max, now!" I heard May shout.
I tried to see her through the smoke, but it was too thick. As it began to clear, I saw a mask figure trying to take the necklace off, but was failing so he took May in the process and ran off.
"Guys, May was knocked unconscious and she's been kidnapped," I said urgently.
"The tracking pendant has been activated, her location is on your poketch," Max reported. "She's moving fast, I'd say she's in some sort of transportation."
"We better group up and go after her," Misty said.
"After you get together, keep your distance. The point of May making herself the bait is so that she can be taken to where the other jewelry pieces are," Max explained.
"Wait, she knew that this would happen?" I asked.
"More or less, but then again, this is how May rolls," Max said tiredly. "From the looks of the tracking device, May stopped moving. You better get going."
"Let's meet and leave from the back to draw less attention," Leaf said.
"From the coordinates that Max gave us, May is outside the city somewhere," Misty said as we met up.
Soon I called out Flygon while Dawn and Paul rode Togekiss, Ash and Misty rode Charizard, and Gary and Leaf rode on Arcanine.
After a couple of minutes, we arrived at a log cabin in the forest outside the city. I turned on the infrared contact lenses and saw that May was lying on the floor in the back corner with two men sitting at a table in the corner towards the front.
"Looks like May's still knocked out and the thieves are in the corner of the cabin," I said.
"Let's split up," Dawn suggested. "The girls and I will go after May and you guys take care of the thieves."
"Right," everyone said and we split up.
(May's POV)
I started to wake up and saw that everything looked fuzzy, ugh…..stupid drugs. After blinking a few times to regain my vision, I saw that I was bound in ropes and the thieves were sitting at a table with their back to me. I need to get out of here. I looked around to see that no one else was in here and quietly tried to grab my laser nail file from inside the dress. It was pointless since the ropes were too tight.
Suddenly the thieves saw that I was awake, "Ah, so the young model has decided to awaken," the stout thief said.
"Where's the necklace?" the other thief asked.
"I don't know," I lied.
The other thief pulled out a knife, "Why don't you tell us where the necklace is otherwise that lovely dress with turn more red than white," he threatened.
Suddenly the door burst open causing the thieves to turn around. I quickly kicked the thief with the knife in the back causing him to drop the knife in surprise. While the guys dealt with the thieves, the girls helped get the ropes off me. All of a sudden, my holographic generator ring short-circuited and I was back to my normal self.
"Wait, you're May Maple," the stout thief said scared.
I smirked, "Surprise," I said and then went outside to their car and pulled out the jewelry pieces that they stole earlier in the week.
"Max, did you notify Officer Jenny?" I asked.
"I contacted her a couple of minutes ago, she should be there any second."
"Thanks Max," I said as Officer Jenny arrived.
"Here are the thieves of the jewelry thefts," I reported.
"Thanks for the help," she said gratefully as her officers took the criminals away. "We've trying to capture these jewel thieves for months."
"We'll return the stolen jewelry to Paris," I said.
"Alright May, nice dress by the way, it suits you well," she complimented before driving away.
"Well, we better head back to return the jewelry," I said tiredly.
"You okay May?" Drew asked concerned.
"I'll be fine, I just have a killer headache from the drugs they used on me."
Drew still looked concerned as Gary, Ash, Dawn, and he called out their pokemon.
Soon we were riding in pairs and I was with Drew on Flygon. As we flew, I was finding it incredibly hard to stay awake. When arriving back at the runway, everyone else returned the jewelry pieces while I changed out of the wedding dress back into my outfit from earlier. Max soon called my poketch asking for an update as I walked back to the group.
"The thieves have been captured and all the stolen pieces have been returned," I reported with a yawn.
"May, you're feeling the after effects of the drugs they used aren't you?" he asked concerned.
"I'm guessing as much, stupid headache," I muttered as the headache intensified slightly and I put a hand to my head.
"Drew, keep an eye on her, most knock out drugs have nasty side effects."
Drew nodded as Paris walked up to us, "Thanks again for your help, I'll give you a ride back to Lilycove City," she said.
Soon we were on the plane and flying back. I was resting my head against the window. My headache was at its peak and I was exhausted. I was doing my best to fight it, but it wasn't working.
"May, stop," Drew said gently. "Just take a small nap, I'll wake you up when we land."
I gave a small smile, "Thanks Drew," I said as I leaned my head against his shoulder.
He kissed the top of my head and I was out like a light.
November 5th (Lilycove City, Hoenn)
When I woke up, I saw that I was back in my room at the dorm and the headache was still there, but it didn't hurt as bad. I also saw that Chikorita was sleeping next to me. Guess she must have popped out of her pokeball at one point.
I looked at the clock to see that it was 9:00 AM. Geez, I slept for twelve hours without realizing it. I noticed that Dawn wasn't in bed or in the bathroom so I decided to head into the kitchen to find everyone there eating breakfast.
"Look who finally decided to wake up," Drew teased.
"Ha ha," I said sarcastically as I started to make a cup of tea.
"You feeling better?" Dawn asked.
"Yea, just a faint headache. Surprisingly, I'm doing better than the last time I was drugged," I said. "I think I'm building an immune system to it."
"How many times have you been drugged?" Misty asked.
"Let's see," I said before counting off the times on my fingers. "There was undercover mission for the drug ring, that one was harsh. Then there was the clown incident, that was horrible," I said while shivering. "Oh yea, there was the time with the pokemon evolution stone theft, and the theft of snow globes where the thief was a completely loony."
Everyone stared at me wide eyed, "You were drugged four times," Leaf said astonished.
"Five if you count yesterday," I pointed out as I brought my mug of tea to the table.
"Now you have us curious, especially the clown incident," Dawn said.
I shivered again, "Sweet Arceus, it was terrible and embarrassing," I said while becoming red.
"Tell us," Leaf said interested.
"Heck no," I said appalled.
"Please," Dawn begged.
"No."
"We could always go to Max," Drew teased evilly.
I glared at him, "You wouldn't dare," I said through clenched teeth.
"Try me," he said with a smirk as he started pressing buttons on his poketch.
I groaned, "Fine, better to hear it from me than him," I grumbled.
"We're waiting," Leaf said.
I sighed, "The mission happened a year ago. There was a circus going around the Johto region and they were trying to steal from people as they watched the show. I went undercover as a clown when I heard that they were gonna steal the Sapphire Star necklace from Lady Grey who was attending the performance that evening. During the show, the ringmaster was about to steal the necklace when I took a squirt bottle and sprayed him with water causing him to get caught in the act. That's when everything broke into a panic with everyone leaving the arena screaming because the ringmaster threatened to kill me. Then the other clowns drenched me with water to remove the make-up and decided to be hilarious and steal my pants before I could lay any hits so I had to kick butt with no pants which was not fun.
Then a knife thrower cut off a chunk of my hair and my shirt was tattered up causing all the bad guys to crack up. Suddenly, someone put a cloth to my face and it knocked me out. I woke up later to see that I was in an alleyway with my poketch taken and my earbud communicator busted. I thought I could sneak away to find clothes, right? Wrong. I was caught by a guy who shouted out that I was disturbing the peace. Granted I was drugged. It got more embarrassing when I called Officer Jenny a daft bimbo who couldn't catch a Snorlax and she threw me in a jail cell. Then I got so out of it that I use my one free call to call a random number and acted like a British sales person trying to sell inflatable pants.
Hours later Max tracked me down, took me home, and gave me the antidote for the drug. I later learned that the circus was shut down and everyone arrested with all the stolen goods returned. Because of what happened the day before, I barely won the contest the next day. It took everything I had to not cry from embarrassment with a chunk of my hair gone. Now I can never forget the incident without Max blackmailing me about it," I finished.
Everyone then burst out laughing, "It's not funny," I whined as my face turned red.
Everyone calmed down slightly as Drew sneakily texted Max asking for the blackmail. Suddenly I heard my voice and became pale.
"Hello, Ed's Subs," a guy said.
"Ello governor, would you be interested in buying a new product?" I asked in a British voice.
"Excuse me?" the guy asked confused.
"I'm sellin' a new revolutionary product called inflatable pants," I said in a British voice. "Would you happen to be interested in buying a pair?"
"I think you have the wrong number," the guy said confused.
"No no no sir, I called the right person. You sound like the man who needs a pair," I argued.
"But I….," the guy started to say.
"Sorry chum, I've got to get back to the ole grind, chat with you again sometime, too-da-loo," I said cheerfully in a British accent then hung up the phone.
Everyone burst out laughing so hard that Gary and Ash fell out of their chairs, "It's not funny, I had no idea with what I was doing or saying," I whined.
"I'm sorry May, but…," Dawn started to say but couldn't finish because she started to laugh again.
I was annoyed with everyone's behavior so I stood up and stomped out to my room.
"May, come on," Dawn said trying to calm me down, but I slammed the door and sat on my bed fuming as she knocked on it as everyone else stood behind her.
"May, unlock the door," Dawn said calmly.
"I don't see why I should if you are gonna laugh at me," I snapped.
"May, we're sorry. Please open the door," Leaf begged.
I still didn't do it, "May…please?" Drew asked.
I sighed and went to open the door, "We're sorry May, we couldn't help it, it was just too funny," Misty said guiltily.
"Alright, but if you tell anyone else, you're gonna regret it," I threatened as I cracked my knuckles.
Everyone gulped, they knew I would since the incident with Drew. This caused me to smile, "Good," I said happily.
"Geez, you sure know how to deliver a threat," Ash said scared.
I shrugged, "I had practice when I went undercover for that drug ring, you had to play it tough," I said as Dawn looked at her poketch concerned.
"Drew shouldn't you be leaving soon for the charity event?" Dawn asked worriedly.
Drew suddenly had a panicked look on his face, "Crap, if I don't show up, my mom is probably gonna kill me."
I was confused, "How is your mother gonna hurt you, she seems incredibly nice."
"She's like you, she can be nice and also have an evil side," he said.
"Hmm, do you dodge out of family events like this a lot?" I asked.
"Mostly," he said.
"That's why she has her evil side, never avoid what women want you to do otherwise they can getcha good," I said knowingly.
"Speaking of the event, we should get ready to go to," Dawn said.
"You guys have fun," I said as I started to head to the kitchen.
"Aren't you coming May?" Leaf asked.
I shrugged, "I was never asked to," I said before taking my mug and putting it in the sink.
"May, can you please come? Otherwise I'll be auctioned off," Drew panicked.
"Hmm…nah, I think you getting auctioned off would be good revenge for this morning unless you can convince me otherwise," I teased.
He smirked and gave me a kiss on the lips causing me to blush, "I suppose I could come," I agreed flustered.
"Good," he said with a wink before leaving to change along with everyone else.
I quickly went back to my room and changed into a one shoulder, dark blue-grey top with bunches in it to give it texture, black capris, dark grey sparkly flats with black and silver flowers at the tips, a dusty blue rose cameo pendant, and a light blue flower and dark grey cluster alternating bracelet. I then put my hair in a twisty ponytail and quickly put on my poketch along with my pokeballs before going into the common room to find everyone but Dawn out there.
Misty and Leaf were wearing a teal and an emerald green summer dress while the guys wore jeans with dress shirts.
"Hey May, are those the same fingernail darts from yesterday?" Leaf asked.
"Yea, I can't take them off until I use them," I explained.
"Well that's annoying," Misty said.
I shrugged, "Not really, it's a nice back up in case something goes down," I said before looking over my shoulder. "Dawn, you coming?"
"I'm coming," Dawn huffed as she came into the common room wearing a light pink summer dress. "Aren't you a bit under dressed May?"
"No, I've been to a few events like this and the dress code is decent/nice casual," I said before looking at my poketch. "We better get going unless Drew suffers his mom's wrath."
"Dawn, I'm gonna kill you if May is right," Misty threatened. She didn't want to wear a dress unless it was absolutely necessary.
"No killing please, I don't want to clean up the blood," I said as we left the dorm for the airport.
"Besides Mist, I think you look great," Ash said as he gave Misty a kiss on the cheek causing her to blush.
"May, you said you've been to a few events like this before. Which ones did you go to?" Dawn asked curiously.
"I've been to a few events related to the charity fund for an orphan organization in the Hoenn region. That's a where a chunk of my Top Coordinator money goes and I've attended some of their events in the past when I had the time," I said as we reached the airport.
Soon we were taking off in Drew's family jet for LaRousse, "Drew, do you know what charity your family is supporting in the event today?" I asked.
"No, it changes every time and I don't remember what charities my family supports."
"Is Lizzy gonna be there?" I asked.
"She should be. If I have to be there, she does too. Why do you ask?"
"I have the feeling that she is going to blow up about us with a ton of people around. Do you know how much the paparazzi would gossip about it, not to mention our fan clubs wanting to murder us," I said concerned.
"Don't worry May, we'll get there before the event will start and besides, I'm hoping that our relationship will be reason enough for me not to get auctioned off," he said as he cringed.
I kissed his cheek, "Relax, it's not the worst thing in the world."
"Maybe to you, but it's a scary thought to me. Do you know how many of my fan girls want to date me?" he asked.
"A lot," I said as I held his hand. "Just don't worry about it right now, it'll all work out."
He relaxed at my touch and gave me a smile, "Thanks May."
