Kyo: Thank you sooo much for all your reviews! We all cherish them, right guys?
Ash and Drew: *Throwing reviews around, arguing*
Kyo: Wah! Hey, watch it! Stop ruining my reviews!
Drew: Well you read them right? And I for one am glad that some people see sense!
Kyo: What are you bitching about now? Well at least you've stopped complaining about the move up to M finally...
Drew: Oh no! I'm still fighting for T! But this is more important: I should be the seme!
Kyo: 0.0 WHAT?
Drew: omfgxD said so! And so did misakiluvusagi!
Kyo: Hey! Don't bring my reviewers into this-
Ash: So what? yun411 and DX-Dynamite say that you're the better uke and I'm the seme!
Kyo: If you would just listen-
Drew: But why? Give me reasons!
Ash: I'm older
Drew: What does that have to do with anything? Age is irrelevant!
Ash: I'm taller
Drew: By a couple centimetres maybe, but so what?
Ash: Well, you give me a reason why you should top then
Drew: I'm a bigger jerk!
Ash: ...
Kyo: You gotta admit, he has a point
Drew: Ha! So that means that I should be-
Ash: Hang on! I'm more protective! And... You blush more!
Kyo: Another good argument... But there's one thing that you two are both forgetting
Ash and Drew: What?
Kyo: This is my story so technically it's my choice ;)
Ash: Alright!
Drew: Damn...
Kyo: Sorry Drew, to me your an uke but it's a matter of preference I guess
Drew: *Angry mumbling*
Kyo: Anyway look, the story should have started ages ago! Okay so contains shounen-ai/yaoi, I don't own Pokémon and I'm definitely moving up to M in the next chapter. On with the story!

"Everyone be careful now! Good luck!"
Clara was busy waving goodbye to the group as they were about to set off on their (impossible) quest of obtaining Rayquaza's Dragon's Breath. The silver haired girl had been kind enough to provide them with a map so that they wouldn't get lost in the dense forest until the PokéNav got its signal back.
Once Max was sure they were on the right track, Ash relaxed a bit and followed everyone while he looked at a small bottle in his hand. Clara had given it to him.
"You'll know what it's for when the time comes. It will make things a whole lot easier so don't lose it!" Is what she had said. Ash hoped he would eventually figure out what it was for as he was currently trying to puzzle it out and failing to come up with an answer.
While the trainer was busy pondering the contents of the mysterious bottle, Drew was trying to gauge if he felt any different. Clara had given him a small bottle as well but told him to drink it there. Apparently the liquid, once drunk, would help him deal with being stuck with kitty qualities.
"It will aid you as it will definitely help your transformation come about more quickly."
"Really? How does it -mew- work?"
"Well, it will help you be more... honest."
"Honest?"
"Don't look so sceptical! You'll soon see how it's helpful."
The green haired boy didn't feel any different. He didn't see how being honest would help him get his human form back, plus he didn't feel like he wanted to be more honest either. In the end the kitten forgot about it, passing the potion off as a dud or something.
"So... who actually knows where we're heading?" Questioned Max.
"Well didn't the PokéDex say that Rayquaza lived in the ozone layer?"
"May... there's no way we're gonna be able to go into the ozone layer."
"It also said that Rayquaza sometimes inhabits caves so I guess that's our best bet." After saying this Brock took the PokéNav from Max to see if the signal had returned. It was extremely weak, but at least the Breeder was able to get an idea of caves Rayquaza could be in.
"Wait a second. Let's reason that Rayquaza is currently in a cave... Who's to say it's a cave in this region?" May had a valid point.
Drew already didn't hold out much hope of actually getting the Dragon's Breath but after realising what May had just said was correct, he let out a small mew and hung his head.
"We should just -meow- give it up. There must be some other way to -mew- change me back."
"But Drew, Clara seems to be the only person who knew what to do and this is what she said."
"I know that but look at us! We're on a -nyaaa- wild goose chase here! It's ridiculous!"
The next fifteen minutes were spent with the group arguing the best course of action that was to be taken. Sadly the perfect plan eluded them and so without a way to find Rayquaza, the gang was stuck.
x~x~x~x~x
Meanwhile, in a place quite close by actually...
"Ah! I can't believe that you two actually got it right this time!" Beamed Jessie.
"I can't believe we're on so early," said Meowth. "Don't we usually come up later?"
"Oh who cares? The fact is that now we have this device our lives will be a whole lot easier!"
"How so?" Questioned James.
"You see, this is a pokémon tracker. All you have to do is type in the name of the pokémon you want and you'll have its exact location!"
"Seriously?" The other Team Rocket members said simultaneously.
"Yep! With this we'll be able to find Pikachu or any other pokémon in no time."
"Meowth..."
"Yes James?"
"I think I've figured out why we're on so early."
"Really? Why?"
"It's way too obvious," sighed the blue haired member, "But I guess it's the only way to move the plot along..."
"What are you on about?"
"Who cares! Come on, I've typed Pikachu into the tracker. Now all we have to do now is follow it!"
x~x~x~x~x
-Still trying to decide a plan-
"Well... What if we split up? Like, everyone takes a region?"
"That won't work! There are loads of regions and only five of us."
"I wonder if there is a Rayquaza expert somewhere..."
"That would be handy, but it seems unlikely."
"Well then how about-"
"Prepare for trouble!"
"Oh great. Now Team Rocket are here to slow us down even further..."
Once the team had finished the usual routine they then went on to explain their amazing new device, catching the attention of the young heroes.
"No matter how far you blast us off, we'll always be able to find you!" Boasted Jessie.
"Yeah. With our new pokémon tracker we'll be able to know the exact location of any pokémon we want. Namely: Pikachu."
"And so without further ado, Seviper! Let's go-"
"Wait a second!" Ash quickly interrupted Jessie before she called out her Seviper. "So... That thing you're holding can track any pokémon?"
"Did you not listen to what I just said twerp? Of course it can!"
"...Even legendaries?"
"Duh! Team Rocket only gets the best!"
That was all Ash and the others needed to hear. Using stealth to steal the device and then engaging in the usual battle, Team Rocket were blasting off in no time and the group now had the perfect method of finding Rayquaza.
x~x~x~x~x
"You've got to admit, we totally lucked out here!" Max was once again studying the tracker and marveling at the fact that, not only was Rayquaza in their current region, it wasn't too far away! Comparing the location to the PokéDex, it should only take them a few days to reach their destination. Although, all of this was provided that Rayquaza didn't take off.
"Isn't that great?" Smiled May, "We'll have you back to normal in no time Drew."
"Hm? Oh... yeah."
"Drew? Are you okay?" Asked Ash.
"We may have -mew- found Rayquaza..." Began the co-ordinator.
Brock had a guess at what Drew was about to say. "But you're worried about actually obtaining the Dragon's Breath right?"
The kitten nodded.
"Hey, come on! Things are bound to work out somehow! We just have to stick together and stay strong." The raven haired trainer was doing his best to motivate his kitty companion but it was failing as Drew clearly didn't look convinced.
The next few hours were spent mostly in silence while everyone continued following Max (who had the PokéNav) and Brock (who had the pokémon tracker). Every once in a while someone would say something that wasn't really of much importance and Drew couldn't help but let out the occasional mew from time to time. The silence was only properly broken when the sun started to set and Brock suggested that they set up camp at their current location as they were far from a pokémon centre.
Deciding that that was probably the best course of action, the group started to lay out sleeping bags, create a fire and leave Brock to sort out what to cook while the others went in search of water to fill their canteens.
Once everything had been set up and they were busy eating, everyone started to talk about how they would go about actually getting the Dragon's Breath.
"Rayquaza is a legendary so to underestimate it would be... very stupid."
"The thing is, any move Rayquaza uses is likely to wipe us and our pokémon out. Dragon's Breath is already a powerful move, imagine the damage it will deal coming from a pokémon like Rayquaza."
"...It's scary to even think about it..."
Drew was busy listening to the conversation and trying to come up with some kind if strategy. May interrupted his thoughts when she asked him, "Oh, Drew. I meant to ask if you feel any different. I mean, Clara gave you that potion thing to deal with the kitty thing better. Are you?"
"In all honesty, no. I think whatever she -nyaa- gave me must have been a dud because -mew- I don't feel any different at all."
"That's strange, she seemed so sure it would help... Maybe it takes a while to kick in?"
"It's -meow- no big deal May. I can -nyaaa- deal with this fine on my own. Anyway, it's late. I'm -mew- gonna turn in."
"I think I might join you."
"Me too."
Before long everyone had fallen sound asleep. Well, everyone but Ash. He was so fixated on finding an easy way to get the ingredient that it was preventing him from getting any sleep. Pikachu was asleep by his side and Ash sat up to check if anyone was awake. No luck. Drew was pretty close to him and seeing as no one was looking, the trainer allowed himself to stare a little.
He is pretty cute... It must be a nightmare to be stuck like that though. The way I've acted towards him until now... It's the least I can do to try my best and get that Dragon's Breath!
Subconsciously, Ash had gravitated towards the sleeping kitten so that he was sat right next to him. Now that he was closer he was able to hear...
Is Drew... Purring? I guess I shouldn't be surprised but...
Not really thinking, Ash stretched out a hand and lightly stroked Drew's cheek. This made the purring grow slightly louder and also made Ash want to hear the co-ordinator purr more. The trainer gently tickled under Drew's chin and then slowly moved his hand down so that his hand now rested on the others chest.
Totally mesmerised by this new purring sound he was hearing, Ash slipped his hand under Drew's top as he didn't fancy having the cloth barrier in the way. The small boy had really smooth skin, silky to the touch. As Ash moved his hand further up the purring noises got louder and when he softly tweaked one of Drew's nipples, quiet mews joined the purrs.
Reality suddenly took a hold of the raven haired one and he quickly realised just what he was doing. Removing his hand as quickly and carefully as possible, Ash tried to gather himself.
This is... dangerous! What the hell was I doing? I've got to watch it...
Glancing down at the green haired boy, Ash decided that he better get in his sleeping bag and pretend it didn't happen. Once he'd put a bit of distance between himself and the co-ordinator and was back in his sleeping bag, Ash found that he couldn't sleep again. Not because he was busy thinking about Rayquaza, but because his mind was now filled with Drew and what would have happened if he hadn't have stopped.
Unbeknownst to the trainer, sleepy green eyes had started to open. The trainer's ordeals of the night were just beginning...
