"So, Shū, you never told us about any of your Pokémon!" May said as she sat with Shū under a tree.

Drew was currently bathing and grooming all his Pokémons, leaving Shū and May alone. They had been leaning in the shade of tree; May was watching Drew bathe his Roselia while Shū played a game on his touch-screen mobile. The sun was starting to move towards the west as the clock ticked near 5.

"I know I never did." Shū replied with a slight smile tugging at his lips.

"Well?" May raised her eyebrows, "Are you going to tell me?"

"I have 6 Pokémons. On hand."

May rolled her eyes, "And which are those?"

"Well," Shū furrowed his eyebrows as he paused his game, exited to the home screen and switched it off, placing it back in his pocket. He turned to May, "I have the three element monkeys-"

"All three?" May asked, eyes wide.

Shū nodded, "All three. Then I of course, have a Xatu and a Zubat…then I have Dratini." For some reason, he chuckled at that.

"Ooh, quite impressive! These were your on hand Pokémon, what about the others? Do you have more Pokémon?"

"Plenty," Shū nodded.

"Do tell! Do tell!"

"Well, for one I have a Spiritomb-"

"Ghost?"

"Ghost/Dark." Shū nodded, "A Murkrow and an Altaria….then I have a Metagross…and then there is Eevee too…."

"You have quite strong Pokémon!"

"And a Pikachu."

"Pikachu?"

"Pikachu. I love that little yellow mouse! I am a sucker for cute Pokémons."

May chuckled, followed by Shū. "Wow, Shū, you have quite a collection, don't you?"

There was a pause of a moment before may spoke suddenly.

"Ooh! I am going to conduct an interview!"

"Interview?" Shū raised his eyebrow, amused.

"Yes, an interview." May nodded, jumping and sitting in front of him, "Start with you telling me your full name!"

"Shū Felix Hayden."

"Felix?"

"My father was French." May nodded.

"Who is your starter Pokémon?"

"Eevee. She was an egg when I got her!"

"Aww! They are so cute, isn't it? Shū, your Eevee, did she evolve?"

"Yeah, into an Espeon."

"Wow…do you have a specialty in Pokémon?" May asked, interested.

"No, not really. I have a variety as you can see…but I especially like Dark, Psychic and Dragon Pokémon…but no, no specialty or anything."

"Shū, one last question."

"Ask away."

"Do you have a girlfriend?" May looked so desperate to know that Shū chuckled.

"Will you go out with me if I don't?" Shū teased.

"Hmm, might consider it…do you?" May replied playfully.

"Yeah, I do. Great girl." Shū smiled fondly.

"Will I get to meet her?" May asked hopefully.

"If you don't kick me out of your group before we reach Rubello, then yeah, she is in the Rubello town." Shū nodded.

May jumped, "Thank you! I really wanted to meet your girlfriend! Is she a trainer? Coordinator? Breeder? Or is she-"

"Coordinator!" He blurted out. May stilled for a moment before jumping again.

"Will she be taking part in the contest? Which are her Pokémons? How is she? What-"

"Calm down, May!" Shū forced May back on the ground with his hands on her shoulder, "Yes,she might be taking part but I am not too sure about it. She specializes in Dark Pokémon. She is beautiful!"

"Of course she is! Do you know her starter Pokémon?"

"Eevee. Got them together." Shū smiled, "He evolved in an Umbreon."

"Is she strong?" May asked with a hint of nervousness.

"Exceptionally so." Shū nodded.

"You are quite interesting." She said thoughtfully.

"Yeah?" Shū raised one eyebrow.

"Yes! I have, like, so many questions to ask you!" May threw her hands apart to show the amount of questions she have.

"Ask some of them anyway. The ones on your top." Shū said.

"Okay! First, why do you always wear black?"

Shū thought over it for a little. Well, black? Hmm, one of the main reasons was so that he could mix with the shadows… "I like this color. Makes me look good." He winked.

May giggled, "Well, yeah, it does. Anyway, why do you always have that mobile in your hand? Games or on call. Always."

Shū laughed, "Well, I use it to pass time. And, calls, I don't call anyone. Everyone calls me!"

"Yeah, Shū Hayden on demand!" She said, her voice increasing a little as if she was selling something. Shū chuckled amusedly.

"I am always on demand. Nobody can get enough of me." He said a little on the arrogant side.

"Damn, you are just like your brother! Just a little more subtle! Arrogant, good looking, jerky boys." She said the last part softly, still making it loud enough for him to hear her.

He threw back his head and laughed, ruffling May's hair. She stuck out her tongue at him.

"No, really!" She suddenly paused before launching again, "Don't mind me asking, were you two close?"

Shū stopped and stared at her for a moment, then smiled, "Yeah. Pretty close."

"What happened?" May asked softly. Shū shook his head.

"I am not in the position to tell you."

May's face fell, before she smiled again, "Tell me something funny about him!"

Shū turned to look at his brother. He seemed like he was giving his full attention to the Pokémon but he knew better. Shu smirked.

"When he was little…"

(These are just series of flashbacks. We don't find them as interesting if they are just spoken. Happening is better! And these will not be in italics. Italics are annoying.)

Flashback

"Uh, Drew?" A woman with dark raven hair peered into the room and slowly walked inside. "Drew?" She called again tentatively.

"Hey mum! I am home!" A call from the door made her turn around to face her eldest child.

"Shū! Did you see Drew?"

The raven boy furrowed his eyebrow, "Drew? What happened to him?"

"No! That's the point! Where is he? Was he with you?" The women cried hysterically, her green eyes alight.

"No, I swear he was at home when I left…Grace and Hannah were also here!"

"Who was looking after them?"

"Dad was…" Shū muttered, pushing past her to search for his youngest sibling, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Drew!" He called. He knew the little boy would not answer; he was too shy and quiet.

He opened his own room, looking inside. For some unknown reason, the boy liked his room so much that he even slept with him. Not that he minded.

He next looked in Drew's room, and then into his sisters' room. Both the twins were sleeping next to each other, their dark, almost green hair fanned out like a halo. He spotted his dad sleeping on the floor with his head and arms on the bed, a book held loosely in his one hand while the other was laid gently on the two sleeping girls. He smiled before he closed the door and headed to the kitchen.

"Drew!" Shū jumped when he saw his almost a year old brother sitting in front of the refrigerator with the door open.

The young toddler looked up, blinking his green eyes, "Shū?"

"What are you doing here, mon ange?" He whispered softly, picking up the baby and cradling him, closing the refrigerator door behind him as he turned to head out to the lobby for his hysterical mother.

"I," The boy mumbled, rubbing his cheek to Shū's, "was feeling hot. It was cool there."

Shū chuckled, changing his path to head to his own room, "Mama, I found him! We are in my room!"

He closed the door as he turned on the air-conditioner and hugged the boy close.

Flashback end. (Shū didn't necessarily recount the whole incident as it is.)

"Wow, you really found him in the fridge?" May asked.

"He was sitting on it; his back was to the fridge." Shū nodded.

May chuckled, "What else did he do?"

"Well, there was one time when…" Shū winced.

Flashback

A small green haired boy, no older than 2 year old tiptoed in the living room, his green eyes wide and searching.

He emitted a soft and small noise when he spotted his brother sleeping soundly on the couch in the room. He tiptoed to him quietly, as quietly as a two year old can, and stood before him.

"Ow! Mama!" A raven haired woman jumped away from a green haired man when they both heard the scream.

"What do you think happened?" The woman asked her husband.

"We need to go and see…" The man said as they both rushed downstairs, following the cry of their eldest.

"What happened to….Drew! What did you do?" The woman squealed when she saw her eldest child holding his hand to his head, wincing in pain and the youngest son standing in front of him, a cooking pot in his hand.

Flashback ends.

"No way!" May said, eyes wide.

"Oh, yes way. I can still feel the pain when I imagine it." Shū said, wincing slightly.

"I can't believe he hit you on the head with a pot. While you were sleeping!"

"Oh, he was barely 2!" Shū said. "Mum was always careful with him after that whenever he carried sticks or anything…especially if I am sleeping."

May stared at him for a few minutes before she started laughing, "But it is really funny, you know!"

"Yes…I know…he was a funny kid." Shū smiled.

"Tell me more!"

Flashback

The raven rolled on his belly, pausing the game he was playing on his mobile as he did so and turned to look at his younger brother who had just waved his chubby little hand to hit him.

Their mother looked up from where she was sewing some button on their fathers' shirt and raised her eyebrow.

"What happened?"

"He tried to hit me." Shū said, sitting upright to look at the boy who was still staring at him with determination.

"What happened, Drew?" The woman asked the 4 year old.

"I want to hit him." Drew said.

"Hit me?" Shū pointed at himself and he nodded. "Why will you want to hit me?"

"I dunno. I will hit you." Drew said, trying to hit him again.

"Mum! Hold him!" Shū cried as he pulled up his knee to avoid his hand.

"Let him hit you!" She laughed.

"What let him hit me? Why will I let him hit me?" Shū cried, standing up on the bed to avoid his sibling's attempt to hit him.

Flashback end

"And did you let him hit you?" May asked.

"Yeah, I had to. He did that many times. He once said that he wants to bite me." Shū chuckled.

"And you let him bite you?" May asked.

"Yeah, I had no choice."

"He sounds adorable! Not this part but the others, you know…"

"Yeah, he was adorable! Even when he tried to hit me or bite me…he still is adorable to me…"

"You love him, don't you?" May asked softly as they watched Drew begin brushing his last Pokémon.

"Ready to die for that boy…" Shū muttered absent mindedly.

Both of them sat in silence, Shū returning to his mobile and May back to her staring and day-dreaming.

"Oh, how I wish for a cloud to burst on his head!" May sighed, staring at the boy packing his bag.

"Cloudburst?" Shū raised his eyebrow.

"Yeah. Like, you know," May motioned her hands as if breaking a imaginary egg on the side of a bowl and opening it, "cloud bursting on his head and the water falling down like a whoosh! I don't know what a cloudburst really is so I won't go there, but a cloud just breaking on his head!"

"Why would you want that?" Shū glanced at the girl.

"Oh, it sounds fun! It would mess up his hair!" May said, looking at him.

"It can kill him too." Shū raised his eyebrow, pausing his game once again to look at her.

"Oh, there are better ways to kill him." May said.

"Like what?" He asked. This girl never ceased to amuse him…makes him wonder where she puts her brain though…

"Like pushing him down the waterfall!" She said, pointing to the river that formed a waterfall a short distance away only.

"Really? Down the waterfall?"

"Actually!" May jumped, sitting in front of him again. "What are you doing today evening? We can try doing that! We can make it look like a suicide!"

Shū sighed, "May, sometimes I really worry for you mental health."

May giggled, standing up, slightly wobbly because of her leg as they watched Drew make their way toward them.

"What happened?" Drew gave a wary glance to the giggling brunette and his amused brother, "What were you talking about?"

Shū raised one of his eyebrows, "We were planning your murder. And were planning to make it look like a suicide."

"Huh?" Drew looked between both of them, wondering if Shū was being sarcastic or serious.

"Actually, yes, we were really talking about that." May confirmed.

Drew deadpanned. "I can't decide who is the bad influence, Shū Hayden or May Maple." Then in a slightly softer tone he added mostly to himself, "Why do I always get stuck in company of idiots?"

Both Shū and May laughed at his display.

May can't help but notice the love they both still contained in their hearts for each other letting itself show just a little as she watched Shū pat Drew's shoulder and Drew pout, almost like a child.

Maybe there is still hope for them…it will just take a little more work.

Review. We wanted to show a little bit of the relation between Shū and Drew but we can't give away too much, can we? And this was supposed to be one of the light hearted one…where nothing could go wrong or something.

Review, dear readers.
