Chapter 4

May and Drew went back to the room, their reciept for room service in Drew's hand. May entered and called the two kids out of the closet as Drew closed the door.

"Where's the food?" Ethan asked. Drew felt himself twitch with annoyance.

"It's coming. We got room service." May said quickly, not giving Drew a chance to say anything.

"In the mean time, how about you tell us what you know?" Drew said, glaring at Ethan. Ethan met Drew's glare with his own. May sighed, noticing how alike the two were.

"Ethan, can you please tell us? We're here to help." May assured Ethan as she sat on the bed with Sophie. Ethan leaned against the wall and crossed his arms and Drew sat down in a chair, crossing his arms.

"My dad used to work for Team Snagem, a group of evil people that made a machine that could steal other people's pokemon. He was only working for them to steal the Snagging machine from them so they couldn't steal anybody's pokemon once it was finished. He overheard some members talking about evil pokemon that were being made. Team Snagem wanted to take over the world. So after my dad stole the Snagging machine, he went off to stop the creation of evil pokemon." Ethan said. Drew thought, looking down at the floor.

"And he told you all of this?" Drew asked, not believing Ethan's dad would tell a kid.

"Yes!" Ethan snapped back, obviously lying.

"Ethan, please tell us the truth. Otherwise, we can't help." May said softly.

"We over heard our dad telling our mom." Sophie said softly. May gave Sophie a grateful look.

"Has your dad found anything else yet?" May asked. Ethan hesitated.

"Our dad's been gone for more than a year now." Ethan replied, his eyes grave. Drew's eyes darkened too. Nobody said anything for a few minutes.

"You said you were following the Pokemon hunter, so why did you start following Drew and I?" May asked Ethan.

"We saw him get on this cruise and then we saw you two so we thought that maybe you were following him as well." Ethan said. Drew looked at him.

"More like you thought we were." Drew corrected. Ethan didn't say anything. May was still comprehending that the evil Sneasle and the terrible Pokemon hunter were on the ship. She felt her heart freeze with fear but remembered Ethan and Sophie were here so she stayed calm and collected.

"If he's here, then he's probably going to Orre to deliver the pokemon he caught or stole." Drew said, thinking. May looked at Drew who met her gaze with a strong one. Thanks to Drew, she didn't feel so scared of the idea of more evil pokemon.

"So if we follow him, he should lead us to where the evil pokemon are kept." May said, her voice slightly uneasy.

"I hate to say it but that seems like what we'll have to do. We'll have to see where he's staying and if anybody working with him is here. Ethan, do you know if Team Snagem is associated with whoever is creating the evil pokemon?" Drew asked, looking at Ethan.

"I don't know but from what I know, Team Snagem isn't smart enough to create pokemon like that." Ethan replied, shaking his head. May looked at Sophie who had a timid look on her face. Gently, May pulled Sophie into her lap.

"It'll be okay. I promise. You're safe with Drew and I, okay?" May assured Sophie, smiling warmly at her. Sophie started to cry, scared and missing her father and mother. Ethan looked at Sophie and the same emotions flashed through him as well. Drew noticed and went over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"It'll be fine. We're safe for now and I'm sure your dad is fine." Drew said to Ethan. May looked at Drew and she saw something that she thought she'd never see. Fear. They were all afraid of what was to come and they had every reason to be.

They ate and planned out what they were going to do. Soon enough, Ethan and Sophie had fallen asleep in the sleeping bags that May and Drew gave them. May tucked Sophie in so she was more comfortable and soon did the same with Ethan.

"Drew, do you really think that their dad is okay? He hadn't come back in more than a year..." May asked, looking at Drew. Drew met her gaze.

"I don't know. He seems to be pretty strong if he was able to get the Snagging machine from Team Snagem so it's likely he is." Drew pointed out. He sat on the bed and May soon sat beside him.

"May, why are you doing this? Why can't you just let things be? Why do you have to put yourself in danger like this?" Drew asked, looking at her. May hesitated, looking down and touching the pendant that hang from her neck gently.

"Because I made a promise." May admitted. May met Drew's confused look.

"When we were in Ilex Forest and I got transported away, I met a pokemon called Celebi." May said, looking at the ground.

"Celebi... the voice of the forest?" Drew asked.

"Yeah. The pokedex said that she was a time-traveling pokemon. She was the one who transported me. She needed a favor from me. She asked me to help purify people and pokemon's hearts and then gave me this necklace." May explained, touching the pendant again. Drew stared at May for a minute and then looked at the ground.

"Of course you'd say yes." Drew said solemnly.

"Wouldn't you?!" May demanded, looking at him with firey eyes.

"May, you don't have to save the world." Drew said calmly, meeting her gaze with his solemn one.

"I have to try. You don't so if you don't want to Drew, then don't." May replied.

"I know but if I don't then you'll probably fall off a cliff and then contests would be boring." Drew sighed, teasing her lightly. May laughed a little and lightly punched his arm.

"Very funny." May said as she laid down. Drew laid down next to her and pulled her close, comforting her. Soon, they both drifted off into sleep.

So May has finally told Drew. I hope you like how she did! I was planning on her to tell him later on but it seemed like the right time now since it would make sense for Drew to be questioning why she was so determined and blah, blah, blah. Hope you liked the chapter! Please review with comments, concerns and compliments! :D I take criticism very well btw. :3 Anyway! Thanks again and byyyeeeee! :D
