March 17th (Mt. Silver, Johto)

(May's POV)

At the moment, I was slightly freaking out. I had no idea where I was and I was scared to move because for all I knew, I could be one step from walking over the edge of something. I took a deep breath to calm down and knelt down to the ground before moving my hands around in a circle making sure I was on solid ground. I let out a sigh of relief as I felt grass.

Wait…..grass? I thought I was supposed to be at the top of Mt. Silver.

"Does this mean I have to climb the mountain to find Entei," I whined out loud.

"No, you are in the right place," a voice said calmly causing to fall on my butt in surprise.

"Who said that?" I asked slightly scared.

"I did, turn around," the voice said.

I turned around and saw Entei's aura appear, "Come, we have much to learn."

I sat there, "Ummm….I can't see and where are we going? I don't even know where I am," I said tiredly.

I saw Entei walk up to me, "Now I understand why Arceus sent you to me first. Climb onto me and I'll take you to where we will begin your training."

I slowly made my way to him and climbed onto his back before he started running forward, "You said you understood why Arceus sent me to you first. What do you mean by that and where are we going?" I asked.

"We are going closer to the base of Mt. Silver and Arceus sent you to me first so I can teach you how to handle fire along with being blind," he told me as he continued to run.

I was confused, "How can you help me handle being blind?"

"I'm blind myself but I am still able to move about freely as if I were still able to see," he answered calmly.

I was shocked. How can he be blind? He's running and not crashing or tripping over anything. How is this possible?

I didn't say anything as I continued to hold onto Entei as he raced to our destination. He finally stopped and I carefully slipped off him. When I touched the ground, it was hard and smooth as if we were staying on solid rock.

"Now, since it will be harder to teach you anything since you're blind, I'll teach you how to see in a different way. First, take off your shoes," Entei said causing me to stare at him in shock.

"Why do I need to take my shoes off?" I asked confused.

"Don't question me, just do it," Entei said sternly.

"Okay," I said with a sigh as I took my shoes off letting my bare feet touch the ground.

"Good," he said as I saw some wild pokemon walk to different spots around me. Entei then came up behind me and I felt my aura power being switched off. Now it was total pitch black and I was starting to freak.

"What did you do?" I asked in a panic.

"Calm down," he growled. "I disabled your aura abilities. Using them to help see drains them over time and you will be exhausted. You need to learn to see without it. Now, the pokemon that you saw earlier are going to stand in different spots around you. I want you to focus on your other senses and the vibrations in the ground to find where they are.

I nodded as I stood there waiting for the pokemon to move. I tried to listen for their movements and I had no idea what Entei was talking about when it came to vibrations. I then pointed in a direction and I heard Entei sigh, "Try harder. Feel the vibrations in the ground of the movements, listen in on their breathing and muscle movements."

I heard the pokemon move again and I tried to do as he said, but wasn't having much luck, "Try again," Entei said sternly.

I sighed, this is going to take a while.

March 19th (LaRousse City, Hoenn)

(Drew's POV)

I was currently sitting on my bed fingering the bandanna May gave me before she left. After I said good bye to her, she teleported away and I made my way back to the dorm. After reaching there, all of us parted ways so we could go home for spring break. When I reached home two hours later, I saw that no one was home. Mom and dad must have been at a social gathering or something while Lizzy was still traveling the region practicing with her pokemon. I spent the whole day yesterday training with my pokemon, but I couldn't stop thinking about May. She didn't need to go through this alone.

"Rose roserade rose," Roserade said concerned. (You okay, you look bored.)

I groaned, not that I didn't appreciate being home and training with my pokemon, it was just hard to be home with nothing do and it didn't help that my mind was always on May, "I'm fine, I just can't stop thinking about May," I said quietly.

"Rose roserade rose rose," Roserade said sternly. (If you're so worried, go find her.)

"But I promised I'd let her go on her own," I argued.

She sighed and gave me an 'are-you-kidding-me' look, "Roserade rose roserade rose rose rade rade," she said angrily. (Like that's stopped you before, now figure out a loop hole and go find her.)

I smirked, "Is someone else worried about May?" I teased.

Roserade looked annoyed and I jumped a little as I suddenly saw a shiny Gardevoir with three pokeballs in her hand. She started to talk to Roserade who nodded in understanding and translated to me saying that Gardevoir, Blaziken, and Lucario wanted me to help them find May.

"Guys I can't do that, I promised I'd let her do this on her own," I said sternly.

Gardevoir looked at me ticked off and did a small Psyshock at me causing my hair to stand up on edge. I glared back at her. I didn't want May to be by herself any more than she did, but what loop hole could I possibly find. Suddenly, I was struck by an idea and smirked big in response.

Roserade smirked, "Rose roserade?" she asked. (So what's the plan?)

I didn't say anything as I sat in front my computer and saw that everyone was online. I then started a huge video chat that included the seven of us.

Soon everyone accepted and we all saw each other's video windows, "Any reason why you are chatting with all of us without it having been two days?" Dawn asked.

"He's probably lonely since May isn't around," Gary teased.

"Aww…has someone been mopey," Leaf teased in a baby voice.

I rolled my eyes at their antics, "Why is Gardevoir in your room?" Misty asked after noticing the pokemon behind me.

"She wants me to find May, but we promised May that we'd let her go, but what if we had a loop hole," I said getting everyone's attention.

"What loop hole could possibly work?" Dawn asked.

"Like going about and researching for our paper about a legendary pokemon. May's studying under them so we can follow her as she travels without her knowing and observe the legendaries as she trains. That way, we can help May while being incognito and still get something done, "I explained with a smirk.

Everyone else then smiled slyly, "Nice one, just one problem. How do we figure out where May is?" Ash asked.

Suddenly Max's image joined all of ours, "Do you have a tendency to pop into people's video chats?" Paul asked.

"No, but I saw that Gardevoir, Lucario, and Blaziken were missing so I'd thought I'd contact Drew and then I saw this conversation happening. Anyway, to answer your question Ash, May is somewhere in the Johto region in the area around Mt. Silver, but I can't pinpoint her exact location. You'll have to figure that out on your own when you get there. I'd go with you, but the Pokemon Center here is really busy today," Max said tiredly.

"Thanks for the help Max, we'll keep in touch," I said before Max's window disappeared.

"Looks like we finally have plans for spring break," Leaf said as Gardevoir said something to Roserade.

Roserade then told me what Gardevoir said, "Gardevoir will teleport all of us to the same place in thirty minutes."

"Okay Drew, see ya then," Dawn said before all of us left.

I grabbed my backpack and started filling it with stuff that I would need before returning Roserade and grabbing my other pokemon, "Gardevoir, use Teleport," I commanded once I finished grabbing everything.

She nodded and I found myself in the forest. Slowly we all showed up one by one, but Gardevoir looked exhausted, "Thanks for the help Gardevoir, return," I said as I returned her to her pokeball before calling out Lucario. "Hey Lucario, can you sense May's aura from here?"

He then nodded as he sat down on the ground and his flaps levitated as he meditated. After a few minutes, he stood up and pointed in the right direction. We then started to walk as he led the way.

"Any guesses as to what legendary May is training with first?" Dawn asked.

"Well, it could be anyone, it's hard to pinpoint where some legendaries are because they are sometimes spotted in places all over the world," Gary said thoughtfully. "So it's anyone's guess."

"Speaking of legendaries, who picks which legendary they use for their paper?" Leaf asked.

"Why not just do it at random? Let the random generator create a list in the order of people who observe each legendary May trains under," Misty suggested.

I nodded as I pressed some buttons on my poketch. Soon the generator did its work and came up with a list, "Okay, the order is Gary, then Misty, Dawn, Ash, Leaf, Paul, then me."

"That works, but it looks like we have a long walk ahead of us before we find out which legendary we'll see first," Dawn said tiredly as we looked at Mt. Silver in the distance.

I nodded in agreement as I looked forward at the mountain. As we continued to walk, I kept thinking back to May hoping that she survived the past two days with little issue.

(May's POV)

"Good May, you've been able to hold a flame in your hands and also keep control of it. Take a break for now and then continue to practice seeing without your aura," Entei stated before he walked off to a lake that was nearby.

I let the flame in my hands disappear and bent forward trying to regain my energy. So far, the training was going well. I was able to see without needing to use my aura by using my feet to feel the vibrations of people's/pokemon's movements and my hearing to hear the movements of things. I still needed to practice some more with it, but it was proving very useful. No more tripping over anything. This morning, I practiced being able to generate and hold a flame while controlling it so that it wasn't too small or too big.

I walked to the lake to grab a drink of water before Entei roared slightly causing some pokemon to appear. Like yesterday, they walked to different points surrounding me and I was able to point out everyone even trees and rocks on the ground. After doing this for a while, my sense of aura came back and I saw Entei nod his head in approval.

"Well done, now you'll be able to see better in a sense. Let's get back to practicing with fire. Now that you can hold conjure and hold a flame, you will be able to summon fire with no issue," Entei said as I followed him to the area where we were a little while ago. "The form of fire comes from the lungs and is used as a form of defense as well as offense, you can do both."

I nodded as he continued to tell me about the element and how to wield it, "Now, we'll start with Will-O-Wisp since it's a move similar to holding a flame in your hands. Focus on conjuring some balls of flames around you and then send them forward," Entei directed.

I took a deep breathe while focusing my energy so that small balls of flames appeared around me. I felt their heat and then pushed my hands forward to send them to Entei. He sent out a Flamethrower to cancel them out and then nodded in approval. After mastering that, I spent the rest of the day working on Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Ember, and Overheat though Overheat depleted a lot of my energy so I was currently meditating to get my energy back.

"You have done well and have mastered this faster than I would have expected. There's one more thing I want you to do. I want you to wield the element freely, use your martial art knowledge to help practice," he said before he walked off.

Okay?….I stood up while slightly hesitant as to what he said, but I started practicing a little and got the hang of it. Who would have thought this would be easy?

Entei came back a while later as I practiced my different forms. I finished by shooting fire out of my hands and mouth as Entei nodded in approval.

"Good, you have mastered the element of fire. In the morning, you will teleported to train under Suicune," Entei explained.

I nodded before I felt like I was being watched. The feeling kept showing up off and on throughout the past few hours, but I couldn't sense anyone. I then heard a pokemon cry in the distance and raced toward the sound. When I got there, I saw a trio of Furret stuck at a dead end with an angry Steelix in front of them.

I made my way down and stood protectively in front, "Why are you attacking them?" I yelled at Steelix.

He roared angrily in respond causing me to sweat-drop. Okay, some pokemon you just can't understand. I mean, how can you translate a huge roar?

He then used Stone Edge causing small stones to start coming at me. I made an aura shield to protect myself and the Furret, but the force of the rocks caused my shield to disappear and for some to hit me causing me to cry out in pain.

Steelix then used Iron Tail, but I jumped up to dodge it and launched Fire Spin at him causing him to cry in pain. I then raced forward and started throwing multiple attacks of fire at him causing him to roar in pain again before retreating elsewhere. I fell to my knees as I felt exhausted with the Furret racing up to me to see if I was alright.

I smiled as I pet one of them, "Don't worry, I'm okay. Just a little winded is all."

I then noticed that they were pretty beat up, I walked back to the lake with them following me. Once I got there, I patched up their injuries as best as I could causing them to cheer happily. I started a small fire and saw that the Furret had gathered a small pile of berries for me. I spent the rest of the evening in their company and saw that other pokemon were in the surrounding bushes looking at me curiously. The Furret that befriended me chirped happily saying that I was really friendly. Slowly the others made their way to me, a few Ledian, a Hoothoot, and a couple Pichu. In the distance, I noticed a shy Cyndaquil that seemed hesitant to come out.

I stood up and walked closer to the Cyndaquil, "It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you," I said gently as I placed a berry in front of me.

"Cynda?" it said cautiously as it walked forward. I then noticed its leg looked really cut up.

It stopped at the berry and cautiously took a bite before smiling, "Cynda!" it said happily.

I smiled as I began to pet its head gently. I then picked it up and brought it to the lake where I cleaned and patched its leg causing it to prance around me happily. It then began to play around with the other pokemon causing me to smile and start humming. They stopped and sat around me as I continued to hum. When I was done, they were chirping asking for more.

"It seems I have a tendency to have everyone I meet want me to sing," I said with smile as my mind wandered back to Drew and others wondering how they were doing.

As I was thinking, my mind turned back to the lyrics I was working on in my head for the past day, "All right, I'll sing you guys part of a song that I came up with yesterday so I apologize in advance if it sounds rough," I said apologetically as I started to clap to a rhythm with the pokemon following my lead. ("Hanging On" by Britt Nicole)

Hanging on to every word you speak

'cause it's all that I need

Hanging on to every word you say

To light up my way

Even every little whisper I'm

Hanging on as if it were my life

I'm hanging on

I finished singing and the pokemon were chirping happily causing me to smile, "I'm glad you liked it," I said before yawning.

Everyone chattered asking me to sing another song, but I shook my head, "Sorry you guys, but I'm really exhausted and I have a long day tomorrow," I said tiredly before lying on the grass and falling asleep.

March 20th (Mt. Silver, Johto)

(Drew's POV)

I woke up the next morning to still find everyone else still sleeping. I stood up and decided to go look to see how May was doing. I stood in the bushes to see that May was talking to Entei thanking him for training her. There was a small bit of silence before May asked where she would study under Suicune. There was another moment of silence before May said thanks and Entei walked away and Suicune appeared.

"So we are training at Way Away Island?" May asked to clarify.

Suicune nodded before May climbed onto its back and Suicune raced away. I then walked back to camp and found that everyone else was awake.

"Is May still sleeping?" Dawn asked as she stretched.

I shook my head, "She's riding on Suicune for Way Away Island."

"Well, we better pack up camp and get moving if we want to keep following May," Leaf stated as she stood up and started to roll up her sleeping bag.

After a while, I called out Gardevoir to have her teleport us to where May was. Thankfully, we were far enough away so May didn't discover us.

We watched from the trees as May walked to the shore line, "I summon the power of Arceus for the element of water," she called.

There was a flash of light and her previous outfit of an orange, long sleeve, off the shoulder crop top with red embroidered flames on the edge and long red pants with orange embroidered flames on the bottom disappeared in exchange for a sapphire blue halter crop top, a dark blue mini skirt, and light blue leggings that went mid-calf. Like with her previous outfit, the skirt and sleeves had waves embroidered on the edges and bottom in the opposite color. Her hair also went from a high ponytail to a loose bun with a few strands framing her face.

She looked really beautiful; the colors matched her really well. I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard snickering, "Someone's awestruck," Dawn teased as she took out a drawing pad and some colored pencils.

I felt my face heat up slightly, "No, I wasn't," I snapped causing everyone to chuckle.

"Someone's in denial," Gary teased.

"Shut up," I muttered as I watched May sit on the edge in meditation.

"It's amazing you can draw so well like that," Leaf compliment as she looked over Dawn's shoulder.

This caused all of us to look over her shoulder to see that she was drawing May's outfit that she was wearing. She then flipped back a page to show us what May wore just a second ago.

"Any reason why you're drawing May's outfits?" Misty asked.

"Well, I think they are too cute not to. I can get inspiration from it, and it also gives me practice in drawing," Dawn said while shrugging her shoulders before she flipped to the page she was drawing on and continued.

For the next hour, May just sat and meditated which was a little boring to be honest. Ash, Gary, and Paul decided to train with their pokemon somewhere nearby while Leaf was watching Dawn draw and Misty was observing Suicune for her paper. Finally May stood up and began to move her arms in front of her to control the waves. She then switched to where she pulled a small ball of water up into her hands and began to mess with it. It was interesting to see her be able to use the elements like this because it's impossible for any human to do so.

"It's amazing as to how she can do that, I'd love to have a talent like that!" Misty said in awe.

"That's because you are obsessed with water, it makes me wonder why you're not part mermaid," Leaf teased.

Misty said nothing as she continued to watch in awe as May manipulated the water. For the next few hours, May learned Water Gun, Bubble Beam, and Hydro Pump before she started to tire out. Once the sun started to set, she made a fire on the beach as she began to talk to Suicune. It was weird to hear the conversation be one sided, but what can you do when legendary pokemon speak to you telepathically. Suicune then walked away and May looked at the stars. We then decided to walk back a ways to where the guys set up camp earlier.

'You guys missed a bunch," Leaf pointed out but saw that the guys weren't saying anything, "What's wrong?"

"As we were training with our pokemon, we barely saw any wild pokemon. This place should have a ton so where are they?" Ash wondered causing all of us to be concerned.

"Guess that means a poacher is on the island," I said bitterly.

Suddenly we heard a Gyarados roar causing us to spaz in shock, "Where did that come from?" Dawn asked shakily.

It roared again and we all ran toward the sound, we soon found ourselves near the shore to see that May was there as well along with Suicune.

"Well well well, what do we have here? A little girl and her Suicune, why don't we steal it," a guy said slyly as two other guys jumped from a huge boat near shore with a huge net.

"How about not," May said angrily as she stood in front of Suicune protectively.

"Get out of the way girly," one of the guys said.

May stood her ground not saying anything, "Fine, we'll take both of you," the guy said gruffly as the two threw the net.

May then put her hands in front of her to use Water Gun flinging the net back onto the two, "Nothing but net," May said with a smirk as more grunts appeared.

"What do we have here, a freak. She'll make good money on the slave market boss," a guy said evilly causing me to clench my fists in anger.

The guy who was the boss nodded, he then pointed at May signaling to his crew to get her.

May said nothing while smirking as she took a battle stance next to the water, "Come and get me."

The bad guys started running forward causing all of us to tense. I started to stand up, but felt something pull me back. I looked over to see Lucario shaking his head. I knelt back down while watching May in amazement. She surrounded herself with water and began to move her arms like crazy so that the water around her took shape like Octillery tentacles. She then started attacking each person as they tried to attack her and soon all of them lay on the ground leaving just the boss.

He pulled a sword at her as May let the water go back into the ocean, "You don't stand a chance against me you witch," he said gruffly.

"On the contrary, you don't stand a chance against me," May said with emphasis as she took a stance.

He rushed forward with his sword as she side stepped him, but he was quick and swung back slicing May in the stomach causing everyone to tense up as she cried in pain. Blood started to poor out, but she grit her teeth in determination as she stood up in pain. She then shot a wave of water and froze him in place before walking up to him and punched him in the face to knock him out before unfreezing the water letting the guy fall. She then fell forward to where she was on her knees. She looked at the water and walked into the ocean where she disappeared. I then saw a blue light and it disappeared as she walked out completely healed.

I was confused as I saw a disappointed look on her face. She then moved her arms while circling around to send water….AT US!

We were then drenched and fell forward blowing our cover, "Looks like I flushed out some spying Rattata," she said annoyed. "What happened to you guys letting me do this by myself."

"Come on May, cut us some slack, we were worried about you," I said angrily.

"Drew, I can handle myself just fine," she retorted as she walked toward the boat.

"Where are you going?" I asked with a twinge of frustration.

"To free the pokemon," she called without even looking at us. "Are you guys gonna help or not?"

We then stood up and sprinted to catch up to her. We released the pokemon and May healed the ones that were injured. We tied up the bad guys and put them on the ship before May raised the water up so that the ship could sail out to sea.

"Let's hope they don't come around again," May muttered in annoyance.

"At least we saved the pokemon from being taken," Dawn said cheerfully.

May shook her head, "I can't help but feel that there were more pokemon on the island than just these. Ugh, pokemon poachers make me sick," May spat in disgust before calming down. "Thanks for the help, but I would appreciate it if you left in the morning."

"May, come on. We don't like you being here all by yourself especially since you can't see. Besides, we came here originally to observe the legendary pokemon for our papers," I explained.

She stopped walked causing us to stop and face her, she raised an eyebrow, "You came all this way to observe the legendary pokemon? The paper isn't due for a month and you don't need to necessarily observe them, we're supposed to just use written resources."

"Why not observe the pokemon, it's better than a written resource," I said arrogantly.

May shook her head in amusement, "Figures you would find some reason to watch me. Alright fine, but keep your distance with the legendaries. I don't think they take too kindly to people being so close."

I nodded as we made it back to camp. May broke off from the group saying she would be fine by herself and left to talk to Suicune. I yawned as I crawled into my sleeping bag. I looked up at the stars thinking about May. I smiled gently before closing my eyes knowing that everything was gonna turn out okay.

March 21st (Way Away Island, Johto)

(May's POV)

I woke up the next morning at sunrise and meditated on the beach in the glow of the sun. As I sat there, my mind went over the events of yesterday. I was really disappointed to discover that the gang decided to go against my wishes and follow me. I'd never admit it, but Drew did find a reasonable loophole and even though they weren't supposed to be here, I was somewhat happy that they were.

"You ready to resume training?" Suicune asked.

I nodded as I stood up, "Good, the move I want you to learn first is Water Pulse. Focus you energy into your hands as you create a ball of water then shoot it forward," Suicune instructed.

I nodded and did as I was told, it was similar to creating an Aura Sphere except with a different form of energy. After working on Water Pulse for a while, I was taught how to do Surf which also wasn't that hard. The hard move was Aurora Beam, a move that Suicune knew would prove useful to me. The only problem was that I couldn't seem to do it. I would focus my energy and it just didn't want to come out.

I shot my hands forward for what seemed the hundredth time only to produce nothing. I groaned as I sat on the ground in frustration, "Perhaps it would be best for you to review the moves you already know, take a break and try again later," Suicune said calmly before it walked away.

I sighed and punched my fist in the ground, I wanted to learn the move now so I can finish my training. I then slapped myself in the head. This training can't be rushed, I'll have to do it slowly no matter how long it takes.

I stood up and turned to see everyone walking towards me, "How goes the training?" Drew asked.

I sighed, "I've learned all the moves Suicune wants me to except Aurora Beam. I can't seem to make it happen," I said frustrated.

Drew walked up to me and draped his arm around my shoulder pulling me in, "You'll conquer it in no time, I know you can," he said gently.

I smiled softly and relaxed at his gentle tone, "Thanks," I said softly as I kissed his cheek. "Do you have Blaziken's pokeball?"

He nodded and gave it to me, I tossed it into the air to have Blaziken appear before me, "What do you plan to do May?" Dawn asked.

I smirked, "I think an unorthodox pokemon battle will suffice," I said before turning to Blaziken. "Are you up for it?"

He nodded, "I summon the power of Arceus for the element of fire," I called out.

I felt the power course though me as I felt my clothes change to what they were before and took a battle stance, "Don't hold back and come at me with everything you've got."

He nodded and soon took a stance similar Flamethrower. I then felt a wave of heat rushing towards me and I moved my arms in front of me to take apart the flames from the attack causing me to see that Blaziken was shocked slightly from what I did. I then summoned Will-O-Wisp and shot it at him from multiple angles. I sensed the vibrations in the ground as I took a step forward to see that he blocked the attack with his arms crossed in front of his face. He then raced towards me in a stance that looked like he was ready to use Blaze Kick. I took a stance ready to stop his attack. His attack came at me, but I stopped him and threw a punch back which he deflected. Soon it became a clash of fists and legs as we fought each other.

(Drew's POV)

I couldn't believe what I was seeing and I could sense that everyone else was thinking the same thing, how can this be possible?

Well, when you get tied in with a prophecy and a legendary pokemon, something unique is bound to happen. It's amazing to see a battle between a pokemon and a person with powers like May, words can't describe it. I watched as May summoned Ember from her hands to shoot Blaziken back. I could tell that they were both wearing out as they were starting to breath heavy.

Blaziken then did Double Team to surround May, "He's gonna use the move they use for battles, how is May gonna get out of that?" Dawn said worriedly.

I then noticed a smirk causing all of us to look shocked. She set a spinning blade of fire to hit the real one causing Blaziken to fall back a few feet.

"I'm sorry Blaziken, but it's time to finish this," May said as she got on the ground and almost did something like a breakdancing move of some sort creating a huge wall of flames sending it to Blaziken who attacked it with Sky Uppercut. He then fell forward on his knees catching his breath.

Suddenly he was surrounded by a red light, "Looks like Blaze has been activated," Paul commented.

"This is gonna get interesting," Ash said excited causing all of us to nod in agreement. We've seen Blaziken battle before and when Blaze is activated, it gets really heated up, no pun intended.

May looked drained but smiled all the same, "Come at me with everything you've got," she said tiredly as she took a stance.

I was starting to become worried, I could see her shaking. Don't tell me she's pushing her limit.

Blaziken then fired Overheat. For a split second, I saw May's face show surprise, but then looked determined as she was hit with the flames. I tensed up as I didn't see anything happening. Suddenly, I saw her eyes glow as she took control of it and directed it back to hit Blaziken. It was bigger than Overheat and more intense. Both then fell forward, but Blaziken fell down and was knocked out.

May looked wiped out as we raced towards her, "Looks like I overdid it," May chuckled tiredly.

"But it was awesome!" Ash shouted excitedly along with Pikachu.

May smiled at his antics and crawled over to Blaziken, "Sorry I overdid it, but that was a great battle," she said gently as she did a motion with her hands over his body with flames.

Soon Blaziken woke up looking patched up for the most part, "Blaze," he said concerned.

May nodded, "I'm fine, but I think I overdid my power more than I should have," she said tiredly. "I don't have any energy left to do anything."

She then stood up and placed her arms out as she reverted to her outfit from before she left for this journey. I then noticed her eyes flicker tiredly and saw her fall back. I quickly caught her in my arms to notice she was dead asleep.

"Will she be okay?" Dawn asked worriedly.

I nodded, "She'll be fine if she sleeps for a while and replenishes her energy."

"That stinks, I was hoping to see her do another battle," Ash said disappointed.

Misty then whacked Ash with her mallet, "Be a little considerate here, she's exhausted and in no condition to battle again!"

"Ah, sorry Mist," Ash said scared as he placed his arms above his head to protect himself from Misty's wrath.

Soon the gang decided to explore the island while I decided to stay behind and watch May. I carried her back to where we set up camp and laid her on my sleeping bag.

"You should rest to," I said to Blaziken as I returned him. In exchange, I called out Roserade for some company who asked why May was sleeping.

Soon I explained what happened and her face showed shock when I described the pokemon battle, "Roserade rose roserade rose," she said amazed. (She just never ceases to amaze me.)

I nodded in agreement as I moved a part of her bangs from her eyes while Roserade used Aromatherapy to help May relax. I then took her hand and kissed her fingers causing May to smile softly in her sleep. Somehow, I knew that she was gonna conquer this. If she could go toe to toe with a pokemon in battle, she could conquer the rest of her training.
