I'm back! So that was just a prologue, not the 'beginning'. This will be in May's point of view. Please review this chapter!

I'm May Maple. To be more exact, I'm Maybelle Melanie Maple. I really hate my name, so people call me May, and no one (besides my family, Ash, Brock and Drew) knows about my middle name. Right now, I'm 14. My best friend, Drew, and I will be having a bet the next time we meet at Pokemon Contest. If I win, Drew gets to treat me to dinner. He needs to go with me.

Drew didn't tell me what he wanted his prize is if he wins. Obviously, he isn't going to win since he's battling against me. He knows how much I hate secrets. Oh, I forgot to tell you. After I stopped traveling with Ash and Brock, Drew and I have become friends. That's good, since I don't have any friends in the Hoenn region. Now I know some of Drew's secrets. For example, his full name is Andrew Rosalind Hayden. His mom and dad are super rich people. Drew's mom has green hair with brown eyes and his dad has brown hair with green eyes.

Ash, Brock and their new partner, Dawn, are at the Johto region. Misty decided to make her sister Violet watch over the gym and she went to go travel with Ash. I met Dawn when I went to visit the Johto region. Unfortunately, her Piplup is strong and beat my Glaceon. It's pretty sad, but now I have a ribbon cup. Drew also has one.

Well, back to now.

Right now, I am walking around in the woods of… I don't know. I honestly just head to the next city; not taking any special roads like Ash does (although he fails). But I've never gotten lost before, so that's good. Although I am lost right now. I've been wandering here for, I think, four hours according to my Pokedex. I hope it's not messed up. I sighed and sat down next to a tree. I took out a sandwich I bought at the previous town and started munching on it.

Suddenly, my Munchlax came out. I gasped and raised my sandwich upwards so he couldn't reach it and steal it from me. "Munchlax," it said, and ran away. I frowned and yelled after it and started chasing it. Stupid Munchlax!

"Munchlax, get back here!" I yelled, throwing a rock at it. It wasn't nice, but it works. The rock hit its arm, but it ignored the rock. "Munchlax!" I yelled, furious. My eyes never left Munchlax, and I saw a boy. Munchlax ran right into him as if he wasn't there. "I'm so sorry!" I apologized when I caught up. I took out the Pokeball and returned it. "Thanks for holding on to my Munchlax," I said to him.

He smiled. I looked into his eyes, they were ruby red. He had white hair and a green headband, like mine. "Hi, I'm Brendan Birch," he introduced. "And no problem, what an energetic Pokemon."

"Birch?" I repeated. "Are you the son of Professor Birch?"

Brendan laughed. "Yeah, he's my dad. I've been told I don't look like him at all."

"Your face kind of does," I said. "Like your expression."

"I'll take that as a compliment," he said. "So what's your name?"

I gasped and scratched the back of my head. "Oops, sorry I forgot to tell you. My name is May Maple."

"And you won the grand festival last year?" he guessed.

"Yeah," I say, blushing.

"You won against your boyfriend," he continued, tapping his finger on his chin.

My face turned warm, I assumed it was red. "N-no, he's not my boyfriend."

"Ya sure?" he asked.

I nodded. "Positive," then I started to laugh. "Why do you even think he's my boyfriend? He's just my best friend and biggest rival."

"Well," he said. "I was on stage with my dad because he was observing Pokemon or something, and I could just see that he was… I don't know how to explain. Like, watching you or making sure you're okay?"

"You're not so good at this stuff, are you?" I ask. "He's honestly not my boyfriend. We've just known each other for about four years already."

Brendan nodded. "So what's his name again?"

"Drew Hayden," I answered. "And some people call him 'Drewy', for instance, his fangirls. And no, I do not call him Drewy."

He nodded again. He looked at his watch on his wrist and said, "May, I need to go to my friend's party."

"Okay, have fun," I said, not really sure if I interrupted him or not.

"I was still talking," Brendan said. Oh, so I did interrupt him. "Do you want to come with me? A lot of trainers and coordinators will be there. You can make more friends if you want to."

"Wait, whose party is this?"

"My friend Gary Oak," he said. "Since my dad is a professor, he became friends with Professor Oak."

"I see," I say.

"Do you know Gary?"

I nodded. "Yeah, I used to travel with Ash. Ash is Gary's biggest rival."

"That I know," Brendan said. "Gary kept complaining how he lost to Ash when they'd battle."

"They're so immature," I say, rolling my eyes.

"Anyways, shall we get going now?" he said. "We might need to run to the next city." After he said that, he was running like there was no tomorrow. I'm so glad I could run fast, too. I was running and then I thought to myself, I usually never trust strangers. Why am I going with him again? I just tried to throw that thought out of my head and focus on the party.

When we finally got there, Brendan started looking at each building carefully. Once he found one he recognized, he opened the door. And not to my surprise, there were people and some drinks on the table. I bit my lip. Why didn't Brendan tell me there was beer? I tugged Brendan's sleeve and said, "Brendan, I hope you know I'm too young for drinking." I honestly did not like this feeling in here; I wanted to get out, not to mention it smelled really bad in here.

"Don't worry, I won't be drinking either," Brendan said. We walked inside and I saw Gary.

"Hey Brendan," Gary said. "Sorry about the drinks. I know how much you're against this. One of my friends brought them and…"

"It's okay," Brendan assured. "Just don't let May drink it."

Gary looked behind him to see me and he grinned… or maybe it was a smirk. "Hey there, May. Long time no see, where's Ashy-boy?"

"I thought you already knew I wasn't traveling with him," I mumbled.

He chuckled. "Where's Max?"

"Max is traveling with Ash since Max is a trainer," I answered. "Why do you care?"

"I was just starting a conversation since I haven't seen you in a long time," he said. I rolled my eyes and walked to a couch. I sat down next to a girl and looked at her. I wanted to talk to someone but I knew this person.

"Solidad!" I said, squealing.

The lady turned around and smiled. "Hey May!" she greeted. "How'd you end up here? I didn't know you were friends with Gary."

"I didn't know you were friends with Gary either," I said. "My friend Brendan brought me here. You know, the son of Professor Birch."

"I'm only here because Drew is here," Solidad said, shrugging. "We were battling then he said he had to go to a party, and I was curious and made him take me along," then she added, "Drew is pretty good friends with Gary."

I looked around the room and said, "Where is Drew?"

"With his friend Paul over there," she answered.

"Paul? I thought…" I said. "Isn't that Ash's rival in the Johto region?"

"He came to visit," Solidad said. "He told me that when he introduced himself." Solidad shuddered and continued, "Paul's pretty cold."

"I know, Dawn told me," I told her. "I'm going to go say hi to Drew." Solidad nodded and told me where he was. I started walking and saw Paul and Drew.

"Dude, I told you you're too young to drink," Paul told Drew.

Drew shrugged. I saw him take out a glass and poured himself some beer. "It's fine. If you can, then I should be able to."

"Well, I'm stronger than you. I'm older too," Paul argued.

"Why the hell is Paul the guy who doesn't care about anything worried about me?" Drew said, rolling his eyes.

Paul shrugged. "I'm pretty strict when it comes to alcohol," he looked around. "Hey, I'm going to go talk to Brendan."

"Whatever," Drew said. I walked over to him and smiled.

"Hi Drew," I said. Drew sipped his drink.

"Hey—" he started but fainted. I yelped in shocked when he fell into my arms. "Drew?" I said. I looked around, people were talking to each other, and some were drunk. My eye twitched. There was really no way I could get anyone for help. I looked around and saw a door behind me. I opened it and finding a room with a bed, desk, a mini fridge, table and chairs. Was this room…?

I used almost all my strength to get Drew on the bed. Geez, Drew is so heavy. I sat down on the chair and made it face Drew. I stared at him. He's so weak, he can't even drink alcohol. I could even drink a sip and I won't pass out. I hugged my knees and stared at him. He was pretty cute. His bangs were on his eyes, his sleeping gentle figure…

What the hell am I thinking about right now? Sure he's cute, but I shouldn't be thinking about this. I saw Drew's eyes about slowly and those green eyes looked at me. Oh gosh, I bit my lip, hoping he wasn't out of his head since he drank a little of beer. "Drew, you can lay down," I said slowly.

"I'm thirsty," Drew said. "Give me something to drink," he said.

"Okay," I said. I walked over to the small fridge. I smiled when I saw that there was water, not beer. I took the bottled water and handed it to Drew. "Drink as much as you want."

"Thanks," he said and took it from my hand. He drank it and some and it spilled on his shirt.

"Drew what the hell," I said, pointing at his wet shirt.

"Can you wipe it off?" he said, taking off his shirt.

I blushed and said, "Drew? Put that shirt back on, no way I am wiping that off." Argh, I want the other Drew, not this baby Drew.

"Please?" he begged. He wrapped his arms around me and started sucking my neck. I gasped. He started licking my neck and I winced. "Please wipe it off for me?"

"I-I will," I stuttered. "Just get off of me."

He got off of me. I looked around for some paper towels. There was none so then I walked out of the room to get some paper towels. There were none so I looked for a bathroom. I hurried into the bathroom, grabbed some paper towels, and ran back. Solidad caught me and said, "May, where are you going?"

"I'll tell you later," I say. "I'm busy at the moment." I walked into the room and locked it. Drew was back to normal, I could tell.

"May, what are you doing here? Where's my shirt?" Drew asked.

"Well, you threw your shirt somewhere," I said.

Drew frowned. "Why?"

I sighed. "You were out of your head. You were drinking water after I brought you here when you passed out. Water spilled on your shirt and you threw your shirt somewhere. Then, you asked me to wipe off your chest. I refused. You started doing things to my neck and I went to get paper towels. And I came back, and you are back to normal." I looked up to see him blushing.

"What 'things' was I doing to your neck?" he said, blushing.

"Well, you were sucking and licking my neck," I said, trying to sound as casual as possible. But I was blushing when I said this.

Drew was blushing furiously. "S-sorry," he said. He fell to the bed and sighed. "May, can you still wipe my chest, please?"

"What?" I yelled. "Drew, you're fine now, you can do it yourself," I said, looking away from him.

"C'mon May, I have a headache," Drew said. He smirked and said, "If you don't I'll force you to."

"D-don't," I said. Drew stood up, the smirk still on his perfect face.

"Haha May, I already know where your weak spot is," Drew teased.

I started backing away when he stood up to walk towards me. "Drew, don't…" I was at a dead end when my back was against the wall.

"Dead end," he said, and flipped his hair. He stood in front of me, dangerously close. He put his hand on my ear and started pinching it. I winced and he continued. "It's so funny watching your expression."

"H-hey," I said. "You know that your ear is your weak spot, too." Drew grabbed my hands with one of his strong hands. "No fair, Drew!"

"Please help me?" Drew asked again. I could feel his breath on my ear, which was not a comfortable feeling at all. He bit my ear; he knew I would start obeying once he did that. "Fine!" I said. He let go and tossed me a towel. He sat on the bed and I sat next to him.

"I hate the fact you always get your way," I mumbled and started wiping his chest. He grinned and I don't know if my face could get redder than this. Note to self: never try to help Drew again.

Drew started chuckling and I glared at him. "Are you thinking about perverted things?" he asked casually.

"Hell no!" I yelled. "I bet you are."

He smirked. "I thought you were since your face is redder than a tomato."

"Well, it's your fault," I said. Stupid teenage hormones… I looked up to see Drew sleeping. No wonder he didn't reply something. I shrugged and continued to wipe his body; I don't want him to get sick. Yes, I do care about Drew since he's my best friend.

After I finished, I put the blanket around his body so he won't get sick. I opened the door to see Brendan. "Hey, May," Brendan greeted. "What were you doing?"

"I was helping Drew," I answered. "He wasn't feeling that well."

"You look like you were about to die when you came out," Brendan said. He gave me a glass of something. "Here, drink this, you'll feel refreshed."

"Is that… alcohol?" I asked.

"I doubt it. Gary gave it to me but I'm full since I just had a huge glass of water," he said, "Oh, I was thirsty because I ate two slices of pizza."

I smiled at him. How sweet. I took the glass from him and said, "Thanks Brendan, you read my mind, I'm really thirsty." I drank the whole thing, and suddenly I didn't feel so good. Everything just turned black.

I opened my eyes to see myself in a room. It must have been the Pokemon Center. My body didn't feel like getting up, but I really wanted to get up to see how I got here. I remember going to a party with Brendan… helping Drew… and drinking some… oh gosh, no. I forced my body to sit down and there was someone next to me on this queen bed.

Brendan.

"Oh my gpsh," I said to myself. My hands went on Brendan's sleeping figure. I started pushing him and yelled, "CURSE YOU BRENDAN, GET THE HELL UP!"

His eyes opened to stare at me. "Oh. Good morning, May," he said.

"What the hell, quit sounding like me sleeping next to you is so normal like it happens every day," I told him. It was pretty obvious I am very annoyed. "What happened last night when I was out?" I asked immediately, and I wanted an immediate reply.

"Nothing happened, May, if that's what you are thinking," he said. Brendan stretched and closed his eyes. "Now, let me go back to sleep."

I growled. "Are you sure nothing happened last night? I'm going to hate you if you lie again."

"Again?" he said after he opened his eyes. "When did I lie to you?"

I rolled my eyes. "Hmm, let's see. You told me that the drink you were giving me didn't have alcohol and it was a normal drink. But I think I passed out after I drank it," I glared at him. "So something must have been in it!"

"I honestly did not know that there was alcohol!" he insisted.

I gave him a sigh. "There goes my goal of not drinking ever in my life."

"I'm really sorry," he said. Suddenly, the door burst opened. "What the?" he said and looked at the door.

"Drew?" I said.

Brendan frowned. "What are you doing here?" Drew growled at him and grabbed me by the wrist.

"I'm taking May back," Drew said, glaring at him with tired green eyes. "Don't you dare get close to May again, Birch."

"Who are you again?" Brendan asked sarcastically. "I didn't do anything to May."

"Liar!" he yelled. "What do people do when they're drunk?"

Brendan's face turned red and said, "We didn't do that!"

"Just shut up," he said. "Don't get close to May again, we're leaving." I didn't dare to say anything; I don't like getting involved in a guy fight. Drew dragged me out of the Pokemon Center. His hand was still tightly wrapped around my wrist. I winced and said, "Drew, can you loosen your grip on my hand please?"

"Sorry," he apologized and let go.

Drew's bangs were covering his eyes and I decided to flip them for him. "Hey, Drew, you okay?"

"Remember how I hate it when you're with other guys?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said. I've always wondered why, though…

"Don't get close to Brendan again," Drew told me sharply.

I laughed and rubbed under his eyes. "Are you okay, Drew? Your eyes look awfully tired…"

"I mean it, May!" he yelled.

"O-okay," I said. "Why?"

And there's chapter 1 for you! Enjoy and review!
