Chapter 3 - Suspecting and Surprises
"Excuse me, sir? Could you pull over at the Pokécenter?" May asked the taxi driver.
"The Pokécenter?" the driver asked. "That's impossible, the roads are closed due to that retarded festival and talent show."
"What festival? Talent show?" May asked, confused.
"Yeah it's some annual thing or something.. The whole thing is a money making scam, but the winning prize for the talent show is pretty sweet!"
"Really? What's the prize?" May asked, still confused.
"How should I know?" the driver replied.
May sweatdropped and asked the driver to pull over as near the pokécenter as he could.
"Thanks for the ride!" May said nervously and handed him the money.
"Have a nice day, miss!" the driver said as May went out of the taxi.
"Thank you, you too, sir!" she said and waved to the driver.
The driver nodded, and turned around the vehicle to find some other customers. With that, May stood there, her legs almost shaking, while watching Jubilife City.
"Well, here goes nothing.."
"Ash! Ash! Answer me! Ash!"
Ash opened his eyes. The first thing he felt was having an enormous headache, and the first thing he saw was Dawn's worried face, looking down on him.
"Ash! Are you alright?" she asked worried.
"Wh.. What happened?" Ash asked, trying to figure out why his head was about to blow up.
"Sir, this lady here tells me that you fell from the stairs, is that correct?" an old man asked.
"If she says so, then yes.." Ash replied, half dead, not wanting to get killed by the girl for real if he stated otherwise.
"Sir, there is no sign of any damage made to you, but I strongly recommend you visit a hospital just to be sure." the man said.
'No sign? My head is about to blow up!' Ash thought, irritated.
"N.. No, I'm fine, thank you sir, we were on our way to one right now anyway." Ash replied, his headache getting a little bit worse.
"If you say so." the man said and stood up. "If there is anything I can help you two with, anything at all, please don't hesitate to contact me. And you young man, you don't dance while going down the stairs!"
With that said, he gave a short nod to the worried young girl next to Ash, and then went out of sight. After that, there was a creepy silence for a few seconds, but Ash decided to brake it.
"Dancing down the stairs.. Was that all you could think of?" Ash asked smiling.
Dawn gave him a weak smile.
"I'm sorry Ash, I shouldn't have done that.." she said, regretful.
"Nah it's cool, I kinda deserved it for seeing you naked.."
"YOU WHAT?"
"You didn't know?" Ash asked, feeling scared to death once more.
"HOW MUCH DID YOU SEE?" she demanded, leaning towards him.
"Uh.. I didn't see anything! I just came when you were putting on your-"
"HOW MUCH?" she demanded once again.
"I.. I.. I saw you when you were putting on your bra!" he said, covering his face with his hands.
"SO YOU SAW MY ASS?"
"K.. K.. Kinda.."
Dawn was now shaking with anger, and Ash was shaking with fear.
"I.. I'm sorry!" Ash tried. "I was only looking for Pikachu!"
'Speaking of which, where was he..?'
It seemed that Dawn didn't hear his explanation. Ash was trying to figure out a way from this, even with that crazy headache going on. For the first time since that little.. Incident, Ash came up with a decent plan. He raised himself quickly from the floor, and with all his remaining power, he launched himself at Dawn, embracing her. He couldn't feel her shake with anger anymore, he only felt her warmth through her clothes. After a few seconds, which felt like forever for both Dawn and Ash, he let go of her, looking into her eyes, hoping not to get killed. She didn't say anything or move at all.
'Aw man, did I paralyze her?' he thought.
"Dawn..?" he finally asked. No answer.
"I'm sorry.." he continued, "For everything. I really hope you can forgive me."
No answer. He looked deeply into the girl's blue eyes. Still no answer.
"I.. I understand if you want to kill me, Dawn." he said with a sad smile.
Instead of slapping Ash on the cheek and then torture him, she jumped on him and embraced him, making both of them fall to the floor, catching Ash off guard and making him take the blow while hitting the floor. And there they lied, hugging each other on the hotel lobby floor, making the reception lady smile, and an old couple thinking how the teens nowadays could be so ruthless.
"Excuse me, but where can I find the Jubilife pokécenter?" May asked a person passing by.
"The pokécenter?" the old woman said. "I think it's on the other side of town."
May fell to the ground anime style.
"Are you sure..?" May asked, still not wanting to believe that she had walked to the other side of the city.
"Miss, I may be old but my memory is just super."
May sighed and thanked the old lady. She was about to faint of exhaustion, so she decided to go into a hamburger bar to get something to drink. Or eat.. May went into the hamburger bar and was surprised that it was almost full. All of the tables were taken, most of the people inside had to eat standing.
"Bleh, I'm not gonna eat standing." May whined.
But she changed her mind when she saw their menu. Her mood quickly changed when she saw that they served ramen. There wasn't any line, so she went to one of the men that was working there, a blue haired man, to make an order.
"Hi!" she greeted the man. The man didn't answer, it looked like he had seen a ghost or something. "Sir?" May asked.
"H.. HI! WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?" the blue haired man almost screamed.
"Um.." May said, frightened, "Do you serve ramen in here..?"
"WHY YES WE DO!" the man screamed even louder.
He put his hands on his mouth when he realized what he had just done.
"I'm sorry, do you want some fries with that, too?"
"What? Fries with ramen? I guess.. Strange combination" May said and giggled.
"Okay! Let me give your order to our chef!" he said. Almost instantly, he had disappeared from behind the desk, and came back in just a few seconds. "Done!" he said proudly.
"Okay, how much time before it's ready?"
"Ehm, about five minutes, but you can get a table for yourself meanwhile, I'll call you when it's done!" he said.
May nodded and was about to look for a table when she remembered that there wasn't any available. She sighed. Eating ramen standing would be hard..
"May!"
May snapped up her head at that voice. She tried looking around in the hamburger bar, but didn't see any familiar faces.
"Over here!"
May turned around to check where the voice came from.
"John!" May said happily.
May went to his table, and she was glad that she had met him in here, he had just saved her from being forced to eat while standing. She shivered at the thought.
"Hey, what are you doing in Sinnoh? Are you like, stalking me or something?" May said and giggled.
"Well.." he said. May raised an eyebrow.
"So you did follow me here?" May asked. John snickered.
"Of course not, that job in that airport was just a little change.. My real job is here, in Sinnoh." he replied.
"Oh really?" May asked, wanting to know more, "What are you working with then?" The same expression that blue haired man made earlier was now on John's face.
"Uhm.."
"A-Are you like, a terrorist or something..?" May asked, now worried. John laughed.
"Tell you what, I'll tell you after the festival, 'kay?" he said. May just nodded. She still didn't like it that he didn't tell her right away.
"May! Here's your ramen!" the blue haired man said.
"Oh, that's mine, I have to get that." May said and went to the blue haired man. She received the ramen bowl from the blue haired man, and then just wondered about something.
"How did you know my name?" May asked. The blue haired man once again got that weird expression on his face.
"C..Cause, you're the Hoenn Grand Festival winner!" he said, stuttering.
"Oh right!" May said and went to the table John was sitting at. After May had sat down on the chair, the blue haired man sighed.
"So, have you talked to that boy of yours?" John finally asked after wondering why May had fries with the ramen. May blushed, she had totally forgotten about Ash.
"No.. I was on my way to him, but went lost. So I decided to take a break from all of this traveling and get something to eat. Then I met you in here." May explained. John gave out a short laugh.
"If you want me to I can get you to the pokécenter after you've eaten that delicious ramen."
"No that's fine, I think I can make it there."
"Really? How much time have you spent in the city so far?"
"Um.." May sighed.
"Exactly, I can give you a ride there." John offered with a smile.
"I don't wanna be a problem.."
"It would be an honor for me, May."
"T-Thanks." May said, blushing.
"Shall we get going then?" John asked. May nodded, and followed John outside. None of them knew that there was a certain green haired coordinator, watching every step the two teens took. The green haired coordinator couldn't help but notice that the boy that was with May shot a glare at the blue haired worker at the hamburger bar, which made the worker almost run away. He saw May and the boy enter a limousine, and flipped up his cellphone.
"Ken, trace this number. KZ31 965. Now. Send me the coordinates as soon as they stop moving."
The green haired coordinator then ended the very short call to dial a different number.
"Hello?"
"I need your help, May is in danger."
"I'm on my way." a voice could be heard from the cellphone. The green haired coordinator ended the call and put his cellphone in his pocket. He was about to head the same way the black limousine with May and that boy were heading to, but then he saw the hamburger bar from the corner of his eyes and stopped. He thought about it for a few seconds, but then went into the bar to get one, single burger before looking after May.
"Dawn! Have you seen Pikachu?" Ash asked. He looked back at the blue haired girl that was walking behind him. She was looking at the ground while walking, clearly not paying any attention to anything that was going on around her, not even hearing what Ash just asked her. Ash shook his head and kept on walking through the city towards the pokécenter while actively searching for Pikachu.
"Where are you buddy?" he asked no one in particular. He looked back at the blue haired girl again, wondering if she was okay. He decided to snap Dawn out of zombie mode, hopefully she would know where Pikachu was.
"Dawn?" he asked, tilting his head her way. Still no answer, and she was still looking down on the ground while walking. Ash sighed, this is going to be tough.
"Dawn? Want a free ribbon..?" he tried. Still nothing.
"Dawn..? Want a hug?" he asked with sarcasm. Dawn suddenly snapped her head up from the ground and acted like she had just woken up from a long rest.
"Wuh, wa.. Really?" Dawn asked, confused. Ash shook his head. Maybe it would be best for him to wait until they got to the pokécenter which wasn't so faraway, he thought. He sighed, this was going to be a very long day.
May shivered, she froze.
"Are you freezing? A young teen asked.
"No, I'm fine.." she lied.
"Don't be ridiculous, here, take my coat." the teen handed over his coat to May, and she wondered how she could ever freeze in a fancy and coasy limousine.
"Is this your car?" May finally asked. John smirked.
"Not really, actually it's my uncles, but as you can see I'm free to use it whenever I want." he replied with a smile.
"Oh.." May got out. They had been traveling in that limo for quite a while now, and May was starting to get impatient and worried.
"John, when are we going to arrived at the pokécenter?" she asked, trying to fake a smile.
"Oh, soon enough, we're just gonna take a quick stop, that's all." he replied with a smile. May sighed inside. His voice was so sweet..
"So we've been going the wrong way this whole time?" she asked, now irritated.
"Not exactly, the pokécenter should be just 10 minutes away after we've stopped by at my place."
"So we're going home to you now?" May bursted out. John was surprised by this and almost jumped out of his seat.
"Calm down!" he said and sweatdropped. "It's not like I'm going to kidnap you or something."
May got a worried look on her face, what if he was going to kidnap her? What if he was some kind of bad guy she had just met, wanting to have some 'fun' at his place? John noticed that she was getting worried.
"Don't worry, May, I would never do anything to the beautiful top coordinator."
May blushed when she heard this, but quickly collected herself.
"So what are we going to do at your place..?" she asked.
"We're gonna see my uncle!" John stated proudly. "Well, we won't actually meet him, but we'll see him over the videophone."
"Why can't we just call him from the pokécenter, for example?"
"My uncle doesn't like other people sneaking around his calls.." he said and looked out of the window. "That's why my videophone machine at home is equipped with a device that encrypts our calls."
"Woah.." May said surprised. "Your uncle must like having alot security around him.."
John smiled.
"Tell you what, when we get home at my place, I'll show you what I work with and what I've done after I've talked with my uncle."
"Sure, that would be great!" May said, feeling a little bit more secure around John. John then turned around, trying to spot something.
"What's wrong?" May asked. John still looked out of the window, checking almost every way.
"I don't know.. It feels like we are being followed for some reason.. Driver, please pull over."
The limo slowed down, and when they had pulled over out of the road, John stepped out of the vehicle, still looking for any signs for anyone following them. It was getting dark, it was almost impossible to see anything that wasn't within 30 feet. May also stepped out of the limo, and she couldn't help but notice John's well built body.. He also had black clothes, just like in the airport. After a moment of silence, May stepped in front of John, who was still looking for followers.
"John.. There isn't anyone, or anything out here.. Can't we go now? I'm freezing." May whined, with her sweet voice.
"Right." he said and nodded. "Let's get going."
They entered the limo again, and was about to start the engine when it, unfortunately, broke down. John cursed and asked the driver if he could fix it, and the driver happily accepted the challenge.
"Hmpf, looks like their shitty limo just died or something." a green haired coordinator said, watching the black limo from a distance through the vehicle windows.
"Why are you using that kind of language?" a pink haired girl asked, sitting in the passenger seat. "Oh, I see, you're just jealous that he has money."
"Jealous?" the green haired coordinator defended himself. "That thing didn't last an hour, he might as well had bought it at Toys 'R Us or something. Besides, don't you think that I have money? I could get any girl I want."
"Excluding me." the girl said and winked.
"Whatever. I'm starting to doubt that you're a girl anyways."
"Real funny." the girl said with sarcasm.
"I know." the green haired coordinator said and winked. The girl sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Let me drive now! You drive like me when I'm drunk!"
"Excuse me? I don't even have a drivers license and I still drive better than you."
"Oh please, then why did you hit those mailboxes before?"
"I was watching your beautiful eyes." he said and smiled.
"Oh Drew, you're so romantic! Take me now!" the girl said in a sarcastic way and started making kissing sounds.
"Do you know how ridiculous you look right now?" the boy asked, flipping up his cellphone and took a quick shot.
"What was that light?" the girl wondered and stopped faking a couple making out.
"What light? Are you retarded?"
The girl crossed her arms and grunted.
"Well I saw something.." she said irritated. "Now let me drive!"
"Why should I?" the boy said and flicked his hair.
"Because I have a drivers license!" the girl said and posed.
"And? I still drive better than you."
"And? Atleast I'm not the one taking private lessons." the girl said and teased him.
"It's not illegal."
"But it's unfair!" the girl protested.
"Jealous?" the boy said and leaned closer.
"N-No! Now let me drive! You don't want officer Jenny to pull us over while you're driving, hm?"
"Fine." the boy said and sighed. The two of them quickly changed seats, and then heard a low 'vroom' sound not too faraway.
"Looks like they're up and running again." Drew said, still wanting to drive his black car.
"And so are we!" the pink haired girl said and started the engine. She tried to accelerate, but the car didn't even move.
"Did I brake it?" she asked, scared.
"The e-brake is still on." the green haired coordinator said and smirked.
"I.. I was just testing you." the pink haired coordinator stuttered, blushing. Drew just smiled and flicked his hair. He then unlocked the e-break for the pink haired coordinator.
"You know, I could do that myself." the girl said. "As I said, I was just testing you."
"Sure." Drew replied and smirked. "Let's go or we'll lose them."
The pink haired coordinator nodded, and they were soon on their way, following that black limo's every turn.
"Well, here we are." John said and sighed. "Might not have been what you expected."
May watched as the limo stopped outside of the little two floor house. May then giggled.
"Does my house look funny?" John asked confused.
"No, it's just that I expected your house to be more.. Fancy, since you have your private driver and limo and all that." she answered, still giggling.
"Oh. Well, it's the inside that matters, but you're a coordinator so you don't know that too much now do you?" John asked smiling.
"Hey!" May said, still giggling. "Can we head inside now?"
"Of course." he said. He then turned around and faced their driver. "Fred, I won't be needing you anymore tonight, thanks for everything."
"My pleasure." the driver, Fred, said. He then bowed and went inside the vehicle. After the limo went out of sight, John gestured for May to go first.
"Shall we?" he asked. May nodded. "Ladies first."
They went through the little garden that John had and was now standing right outside the white painted house. John grabbed some keys from his pocket and was about to unlock the door but stopped.
"Something wrong?" May asked.
"I don't think that car over there was here before." he said, watching a black car that had parked not so far outside his gates.
"Wait here, I'm gonna go check it out." May nodded, and John started walking towards the uninvited car just outside his house.
"Be careful.." May whispered. She then shivered, freezing. He could at least had opened the door for her..
"Oh my god, oh my GOD! HE'S COMING THIS WAY DO SOMETHING DREW!" a pink haired girl whispered loudly.
"Shit." Drew answered. "Think of something, quick!"
"Let's drive out of here!" she said and was about to start the engine.
"Are you nuts? We'll just give ourselves away!" Drew said and stopped her hand from reaching the keys. "And we can't leave May!"
"If you're so smart then why don't you think of something!" she 'whispered', annoyed. Drew gritted his teeth. John was almost by their car, he had to think of something, quick.
"Well?" the girl asked. "He's almost here!"
"Quit whining and help me think of something! It'll only be a few seconds before he knows we're in the car!"
"Man, we're dead, are we going to jail?" the girl asked, not wanting to be stuck in prison her whole life. Drew clenched his fists. He had an idea.
"I have an idea." he said, flatly. The girl looked at him with a weird expression. "But I don't think you'll like it."
"WELL? JUST DO IT OR WE'RE DEAD!" she screamed. Drew shrugged.
"Remember, you wanted me to do this." with that said, he pulled the girl closer to his body and kissed her.
"Whho.. WHA, ngh..!" the girl tried to get out, it was impossible to talk with Drew's tongue in her mouth.
"Just go with the flow." Drew said while pausing the kiss. The girl was about to protest but didn't have time for it as Drew's mouth squeezed hers. They went on for almost 2 minutes, and Drew decided to finally stop.
"I think he's gone." Drew said, flicking his hair. He didn't get any response, he looked at the girl from the corner of his eye.
"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?" she screamed.
"I just saved our asses, that happened." he replied.
"THAT WAS FREAKING GROSS!"
"Then why didn't you stop the kiss earlier? Come to think of it, it was me that stopped it. You have to admit you liked it." he said with a smirk on his face.
"WHA.. NO!" she said and blushed. "YOU.. YOU TASTED LIKE HAMBURGERS!"
"Meh, whatever, let's see what they're up to inside." he said and shrugged. "By the way, I think I tasted some lipstick, too." He exited the car and awaited the girl to do that, too.
"Are you coming or what?" he asked, watching the girl blush in the car.
"Hamburgers, HAAAAMburgers, HAMBURGERS!" she screamed. "YOU ATE HAMBURGERS BEFORE YOU MADE OUT WITH ME!"
"Didn't it taste good..?" he asked, smiling. The girl crossed her arms and looked away with closed eyes. Drew smiled, this girl, she was something, that's for sure.
