Oh shoot; did I upset all of you? I'm really sorry… I hope that this chapter lightens you up and you'll like my story again. Do you want me to rewrite it? If I get a couple of reviewers who want me to rewrite it, I will.
Soo here's the competition! And guess what? I have midterms up soon. So I'm going to try updating whenever is possible so I can finish this story. I only have two more chapters left—not counting this one. And thank you to those who reviewed the previous chapter!
Here's the competition!
P.S. Fangirls are so annoying, right?
I sat next to my bed on the floor and hugged my knees. What am I getting so upset for? I've been through worse situations. And here I'm being a big, fat drama queen. This isn't me at all. To top it off, I'm only fourteen, and don't people face romance problems at seventeen?
Oh wait, Dawn had romance problems already and she's like twelve.
It's been a week since I had a 'fight' with Drew and Brendan. I bet they were training. I didn't do anything; just those normal things humans do all the time: eating, sleeping and breathing. I gave some of my Pokemon baths and texted friends I haven't talked to in a long time. I feel like a loser, I just wasted a whole week. I just wasted 168 hours. I wasted 10080 minutes.
I thought about what happened last week. And in a week from now, Drew and I will be participating in a contest. Whoever wins gets you, Brendan had said.
A week ago? It's been a week. Doesn't that mean they're competing right now?
Should I… be watching and rooting for someone? I stood up and ran to the bathroom to fix myself up. I took the Pokeballs that were lying on the desk and I dropped them into my bag. I threw my bag over my shoulder and ran out the door. I went to Nurse Joy and asked, "Nurse Joy, where are they holding that competition?"
"The one with the coordinators and trainers?" she asked. I nodded. "It's in the stadium. Just go up this road that we're on and take two rights. You won't miss it!"
"Thanks," I said. I ran out the Pokemon Center and followed the directions she had given me. I saw the huge stadium and I could already hear roars coming from the crowds.
I opened the door and the security caught me. "Your ticket?"
I looked at him, stunned. "Ticket?" I repeated. Who said that you needed a ticket? This was a surprise.
"Yes," he said. "You need a ticket."
"No I don't," I snapped. "I went to so many competitions and I never needed a ticket!"
"Well you do for this one," he said harshly.
I sighed. "I'm really sorry but I don't have a ticket," I said. "I had no idea you needed a ticket for this competition, and my best friend and boyfriend are competing in this. I'm so upset!"
The security looked stunned. He looked around, what, sixteen who was training to be a police. He slightly blushed. "You… can go."
"But I don't have a ticket," I say sadly.
"I think there are extra seats," he said. "I'll escort you there."
I smiled. "Okay, thanks!" I followed him and I entered the place. There were so many people! I saw Drew battling with some trainer, and that trainer was totally losing. Drew was showing no mercy. No joke; none. The MC, who was actually a guy this time, laughed. "Hahaha!" he laughed loudly. "Drew, you're so mean to that guy!"
People around me laughed. "The champion is hilarious!" they said.
Champion? I looked at him and it was Ash! I took out my phone. I texted Ash and said: you never told me you were being the MC for the trainer-coordinator competition!
Ash gasped. "I got another text! Could it be my girlfriend?" he said. I slapped my forehead. "Oh nevermind, it's my friend, May! May, are you here?" I texted him saying I was here. "Oh, another text! She says she is here!" Some eyes looked at me and I waved to them awkwardly.
Drew turned to the crowd and he examined it. The trainer took the chance and hit his Flygon. Drew commanded Flygon to do an attack, and the trainer's Pokemon was out. "Woah!" Ash said. "Good job Drew!" Ash started doing a weird dance and I laughed. "Final round!" he yelled. "Uhh… who was the other winner again?"
"Brendan," Drew said.
"That's right," Ash said, nodding his head. "Okay, Drew and Brendan, 10 minute break and then it's the final battle! Audience, don't go away!"
I wanted to go to Drew during break. I have to talk to him. I have nothing to talk about, but I really want to see him. My phone started buzzing, and it was a text from April. It read, May, where are you? Let's meet in front of the girls' bathroom. I went there and there she was, with her phone in her hands. "Hi April," I greeted.
"Hey," she said. "Who are you rooting for?"
"You mean Drew or Brendan?" she asked. I nodded. "I don't really care, what about you?"
"I don't care either," I said, leaning against the wall. She raised an eyebrow at me, not convinced. I frowned. "What?"
"Uhh, remember that bet they had?" April said. "I'm sure you want one of them to win."
"I don't know," I said, shrugging.
"Which one do you love more?" she asked.
"I don't know," I repeated.
April shrugged. "Okay then," she says. "Are you hungry?"
"Not really, why?" I asked.
She took out a brownie wrapped in plastic wrap from her bag. "This is really good so I saved some for you," she said. "I'm not kidding, it's delicious!"
I took it from her and smiled. "Thanks," I said. "I'll give it to Drew, he loves brownies." April giggled. "What?" I asked her. "What's so funny?"
April grins. "I think you love Drew," she commented. "You're always thinking of him."
I blushed. "Is it wrong for me to save food for someone…?"
"You love?" she finished for me. I glared. "Sorry." There were roars coming from the stadium and April looked towards it. I was dying to know who was going to win, but at the same time I wasn't. I loved them both, but I have no idea who I love more. Brendan is just so sweet and there's nothing to hate about him; he's like perfect. And Drew... "May, let's go."
"Okay," I said, following April back to the stadium and we took our seats and Ash took the microphone and tapped it a couple times. "Wait, who do you want to win, April?"
"Uhh," she said. "Well if Drew wins then he would brag about it for days. But I don't know Brendan that well so I don't know. If Drew wins then that's good for him. And if Brendan wins, well, Cindy will be upset and be complaining about it for days. It's soo annoying."
I laughed and looked at the people who came. There were a couple coordinators I saw and some adults, parents probably. There were some children holding Pokemon dolls and some teenagers with their cell phones, probably fan girls. I looked around again and there were girls who had Drew's name written on their shirts and had a big sign with his face on it. Then on the other side were Brendan's fangirls, there were fewer girls there. They were holding big, glowing letters that spelled his name. I was surprised that I didn't see Cindy with them. "Did Cindy come?" I asked April. "She would come to cheer Brendan on, right?"
"I don't know if she came," says April. "Probably not, because if Brendan win she'd burst out crying."
"Do you even like her?" I ask. April talks as if Cindy is a spoiled brat. Oh wait, she is a spoiled brat. But Cindy had said that April and her are best friends. April doesn't act like that's true though. Cindy is more proper around her though.
"I guess," April says. "I have better friends, though."
"I could understand that," I say. I wouldn't want to be best friends with Cindy. Dawn and Misty are way better. "How did you meet her, anyways?"
April squinted, as if trying to remember. "I think our moms are friends so I met her when they were getting together to eat. We were nine or something and we both liked playing with our Pokemon dolls and pretending that they were real." She pointed to a little boy and girl. "See? Like them."
"Those two kids look cute," I said. "I bet they'll get married when they're older." April laughed at that.
Ash spoke into the microphone. "Test, test," he said. "Finally, it's working!" I laugh and Ash grins at the audience. "Hello and welcome back! I hope everybody is still here! Everyone is here, right?" the crowd roared and Ash nods, satisfied. "Okay, I hear you all! Now, who's ready for the final battle?"
"I am!" or "We are!" or "Everybody!" was yelled in response. Ash nods again in satisfaction. "Good. And, last question, who do you want to win, Drew or Brendan?"
For this answer, it was mostly girls (who were teenagers) who answered. Drew or Brendan's name escaped their mouths, but the louder name heard was Drew's name. "Drew, eh?" Ash said. Some girls booed and some cheered. "Okay, well let's get them here! Drew Hayden, come on out!"
Drew walked out and as always, his hands were in his pocket. He turned to his fans and smirked at them. They squealed. He took a hand out of his pocket and flipped his hair. They screamed. Ash started laughed. "Drew, let's not flirt with girls now," he said. "Now, Brendan Birch, enter the stage!"
Brendan entered, and he gave his attention no attention besides a small smile. Girls took pictures of him and Brendan was looking for someone. "I think he's looking for you," April whispered.
"That's nice," I said.
"I see how much you care," April said sarcastically.
"I know, right?" I joked.
"Alright, now that they're here, they should battle!" Ash said. "Take your places, you two! You only get to pick one Pokemon. There's only one round. Ready?" the two said nothing but took out their Pokeballs. "I'll take that as a yes. You have ten minutes on the clock which starts… now!"
Brendan threw his Pokeball and his Shiftry was released. "Let's go Shiftry!"
"Come on out, Flygon!" Drew said, throwing his Pokeball. The large, flying dragon, who beat me in the grand festival, was released. "Flygon, sand attack!"
"Protect," Brendan said. Shiftry hesitated and finally he used it. Sand attack bounced back but it didn't hit Flygon. "Shiftry?"
"Flygon, dragon breath!" Drew said. Brendan stared at his Shiftry and didn't notice Drew's call. Flygon's attack was a direct hit. Brendan's eyes widened.
"Shoot," he said. "Use strength, Shiftry!"
"Dodge and use fly!" Drew said. Flygon flew down from the sky and hit Shiftry. Shiftry took a step back uncomfortably. "What?"
"Nothing," Brendan said. "Razor leaf!"
"Dodge again!" Drew said. "Earthquake!" Shiftry fell back and Drew glared at Brendan, frustrated. "Brendan, are you even trying?"
"Of course I am!" Brendan yelled.
Drew shook his head. "You aren't."
"Well why would I lose in this battle?" Brendan asked.
Ash cleared his throat. "Excuse me you two," Ash interrupted. "Why are you arguing? This is a Pokemon battle!"
"Brendan isn't trying," Drew said to Ash.
"His loss," Ash said.
Brendan glared. "I'm trying, Drew! See look, use leaf storm, Shiftry!" I think something is wrong with Shiftry. He's acting like he's injured. He's not immediately reacting to Brendan's commands and he's a little weak. Leaf storm was a direct hit and it took away three-fourths of Drew's health points up on the TV screen.
"Flygon, dragon claw!" Flygon flew up to Shiftry.
"Shiftry, protect!" Brendan said. Flygon's attack failed and Brendan took this advantage.
"Quick, do leaf storm once more!" Brendan yelled.
