Chapter 12: To Win or Lose
The breeder, or the temporary doctor/nurse sighed. It wasn't that hard, it was actually fun. The hard part was to tell young, new trainers that they couldn't battle for a few days.. That made them shout at him for being the worst doctor ever. He sighed again, he wondered how Ash was doing. But before he could sneak back into Ash's room, a girl came in with a bright smile.
"Hi!" Brock greeted the girl and sighed. "How can I help you?"
"Hello, Brock!" the young girl said and giggled. "Oh, nothing, just looking around."
"Do.. Have we met before?" Brock asked, wondering how the girl knew his name.
Brock stared at the brunette in front of him who had a simple white, sleeveless dress that went to her knees.
"Uh, maybe." the girl said and thought about it. "Aren't you the one who wants to ask Nurse Joy out?"
The breeder could only stutter a few words as the girl went by him, giggling. How could she possibly know that..?
"Where are you going?" Brock finally asked.
"Brock, come quick!" the girl replied from one of the patient rooms.
Brock, afraid that something terrible had happened, sprinted towards the girl's shouting voice.
"What?" Brock asked as he entered the room.
The breeder's eyes went wide open as he saw that his 14 year old friend was awake, sitting up straight on the patient bed.
"Ash..?" Brock asked and gasped. "You're awake!"
"I am..?" the boy asked dumbfounded. "Cool."
Brock and Pikachu could only watch with their jaws open as their friend was looking around like he was just born. Ash locked eyes with the brunette and stared at her for a few seconds.
"Who are you..?" the boy asked and blinked many times.
The girl only giggled for an answer, and then turned around to leave the room.
"Bye everyone!" the girl shouted as she went out of sight.
Brock and Pikachu sweatdropped while they were watching the girl as she left. When they turned around to face their friend, they sighed when they saw that he was sleeping.. Again.
Lol
"I find this very hard to believe, Jens."
Jens was sitting on a patient bed, getting his screwed up leg fixed as he was talking to his stunned boss.
"I told you, they shot me." Jens explained again, getting tired of repeating the same thing over and over again.
"With your gun..?" Giovanni asked.
"Yeah.. They used some kind of metal magnet to get it."
"And they knew you were coming..?"
"Yup."
"That is not good." Giovanni said and shook his head. "Another reason for us to chase them down."
"That is just a complete waste of time." Jens said and sighed. "You should think of other projects instead of them, they can't do any harm."
"That's exactly why I need them." Giovanni started again. "Atleast the cat."
"But you already have a cat..?"
"Does it look like it can speak?"
Jens laughed out loud inside and tried not to do so outside.
"Get well soon, I want the fools in my office by the next week."
Giovanni gave Jens a short nod before leaving. Jens sighed once before feeling a sudden pain in his leg.
"OW!" he screamed and jumped, almost kicking the doctor in the face. "WHAT THE HELL, THAT HURT!"
"Sorry.." the doctor said and giggled lowly. "It isn't supposed to be feeling good, anyway."
Jens muttered for a few seconds before biting his lips in pain.
"There.. All done, just don't sprint or something similar for the next few weeks." the doctor said, standing up.
"Thank you." Jens said relieved.
The doctor packed up her stuff silently, creating a strange silence with only the sound of her equipment hassle.
"Metal magnet.." the doctor said and giggled. "I can't believe he fell for that."
"Whatever.." Jens whispered and chuckled a bit.
"The shot came from above, I seriously doubt that they waited for you on the roof."
Jens only replied with another laugh.
"So.." the doctor started, sitting down on the patient bed in front of Jens. "Why are you still here?"
"What do you mean?" Jens wondered.
"I mean, why are you still in Team Rocket? I thought you said you would leave years ago."
"There's no other place I can go."
"Of course there is.."
"And why are you still here? This is a bad job."
"The same goes for you." the doctor said and giggled.
"You're healing very bad people, you know that?"
"You're not bad..?"
"I am. I'm a member of Team Rocket. The only one who doesn't do dirty work or counts as bad is you."
"Is that a compliment or what?" the doctor said and giggled once more.
Jens and the doctor smiled at each other, enjoying each others company.
"Why do you still keep that gun..?" the doctor finally asked.
"What gun are you talking about..?" Jens asked, pretending not to know.
"Oh please, I've known you since before we joined, don't try to lie to me." the doctor said and winked.
Jens sighed, she was so smart. But she was a doctor, what else would he expect?
"How did you know..?" he asked and sighed.
"The bullet in your leg matches the gun."
"I see."
The two of them went quiet again, just staring at each other.
"Why do you still use it?" the doctor said, breaking the silence.
"I haven't used it for 5 years, until now that is."
"You shouldn't be keeping it.. It brings out bad memories."
"That's why I kept it, so that I will always remember my mistake."
"Wouldn't it be better to just forget..?"
"Forget what I did..? No, it's best to always hate myself for doing it."
"You were only following orders.."
"And I could've chosen not to."
The doctor frowned, how would she convince Jens that it wasn't his fault? But it was..
"We should quit." the doctor whispered.
"Huh?"
"You know.." the doctor whispered again, staring into Jens's blue eyes. "Get out of here.. Maybe get back together."
Jens sighed, he knew where this was going.
"I.. I can't do that.. There's no way, I am one of the best now, I can't just quit."
The long haired blonde frowned, why not..? She shook her head before getting out of the little room, leaving Jens all by himself. Jens sighed, looking around in the room. Seeing his old handgun on a table made him want to sleep, just forget all of his problems. But that would never happen.. They would forever haunt him until death.
Lol
"BLAZIKEN!"
"Leaf Blade!"
May and her Blaziken were at the edge of fainting, both of them actively trying to figure out any ways to defeat their foe, Gallade. Right now, there was around 2 and a half minutes left, and May's points were just under 50%, constantly dropping. And Aurora.. Her having almost full points left didn't help at all. What the hell was she doing here?
May snapped out of her thoughts as her Blaziken got a direct hit of Gallade's Leaf Blade as she didn't have enough power to evade the quick attack. Gallade smirked and backed off a bit, making room for May and Blaziken to recover for a few seconds.
"Blaziken has taken a huge beating, resulting in a massive drain of points! And with only 2 minutes left, will May be able to fight back?" Marian said with a huge smile.
May gritted her teeth, this was all Ash's fault. Why didn't he teach her some more battle tactics? But, she had a few tricks of her own.. Her cellphone in her pocket was ringing, but she didn't care, what could be more important than this?
"Blaziken, Focus Energy!" May shouted.
"And May decides to concentrate a bit with her Blaziken using Focus Energy! How will Aurielle respond to this?" Marian stated.
"Actually.. It's Aurora." the girl said and winked towards a few boys. "Gallade.. You choose how to finish this."
Gallade smiled, he absolutely loved each and every time his trainer said that. Much to everyones surprise, Aurora started to chat with a few stunned boys who thought she was nuts leaving an important battle like this one. But they thought she was too hot to even care.
Gallade rolled his eyes, not one of those boys wanted her for.. Her. They only wanted her as an object, her body. But there was one guy she met that wasn't like that. Ass Catching or something.. He seemed cool, but stupid as hell. Gallade shook off those thoughts and stared at his opponent, who was still glowing bright red with her eyes closed. Can't they hurry up..? Why not just give up?
Gallade was starting to grow impatient, why was this taking so much time?
May smirked inside, she could see that Gallade was about to charge Blaziken out of boredome.. Like she wanted. Gallade took a step forward, expecting Blaziken to do some kind of surprise attack, but nothing ever happened. Blaziken was still glowing, not moving an inch. Gallade shook his head, enough playing games. Just to be on the safe side, he slowly stepped closer, ready to counter any possible incoming attack.
But Gallade then smiled, it knew that if someone used Focus Energy they were too busy concentrating and storing energy than being alert of incoming enemies. So it was probably safe, yes. Gallade shook his head before charging towards Blaziken, about to use a finishing Leaf Blade. A split second before he did that, May called out Blaziken's name, and he could feel a sudden pain in his face, a burning one, too.
"Oh my!" Marian said all stunned. "And Blaziken uses the quickest Blaze Kick to the face I've ever seen! A huge drop in points for Aurora and Gallade!"
Gallade shook his head a bit, shaking off the sudden pain. He turned around to see his trainer and chuckled as he saw that she was going back to her spot, just done kicking one of the guys straight in the face, just like Blaziken did. Lucky bastard, atleast he didn't get a burning foot in his face.. Gallade turned back and faced his opponent, watching as Blaziken was smiling, although panting heavily. He quickly glanced at the clock and saw that it was at 1 minute, still counting down.
"It looks like Aurora is finally back in the battle, and now there's less than 1 minute left! What will happen now?"
"It ain't over yet..?" Aurora asked, disappointed. "Gallade.. I wanna win this.. Don't you..?"
Gallade only grunted for an answer and got into a defensive battle stance, signaling that he wanted to battle with Blaziken. No special attacks, only raw, physical moves. Blaziken got the hint but hesitated, she didn't have enough power to do that. Now.. There's no rule saying that you can't fool your enemy, is there?
May tried her best to figure out a way to win this, and watched as her Blaziken nodded towards Gallade, also getting into a battle stance. Blaziken winked towards Gallade who happily made the first move, sprinting towards her. Blaziken's whole body was now glowing the most brightest red ever, and May knew what to do.. This was her last chance.
"OVERHEAT!" May screamed desperetaly, glaring at the incoming Gallade.
Gallade smirked and kept on running; there wasn't enough time to charge for it. And he was wrong. During the time Blaziken used Focus Energy, she had also charged up her inner body heat with the help of her ability, Blaze. Now, there was no need to charge up for any fire-attack, and the intense stream of fire was literally flying through the field, hitting Gallade bullseye. Gallade fell to the ground, blinking in surprise and shaking with pain, that was hot.. Too hot. Gallade raised himself from the ground, smirking all the way.
'Using fire.. Huh?' Gallade said, his voice echoing in Blaziken's mind. 'Wanna play that game, hm?'
Gallade raised his hand up and was about to use one of his own special attacks, but was stopped as he heard a loud beep.
"And the time's up!" Marian said happily, clenching her fist. "And the winner is..!"
Everybody turned towards all of the screens, seeing the results. Soon enough, May's picture was darkened, and Aurora's picture was now covering half of the screen, with the word "WINNER!" next to it. There was a few seconds of strange silence where Gallade still had his arm pointed at the exhausted Blaziken, but after the complete shock that the top coordinator had lost.. They went nuts.
"And Aurora wins!" Marian screamed happily with the crowd.
May blinked a few times before dropping to the floor, staring at the screen. Aurora. She had beaten her. She was her new rival. And soon enough, she wouldn't just be her rival in pokémon contests. May punched the ground once before recalling her Blaziken, thanking it for a job well done. When she looked up, she saw that Aurora was standing in front of her, smiling, not smirking.
"Great battle." the girl said, helping May up. "You almost got me there."
"Are you kidding me?" May said, trying to hold back her tears. "You didn't even command you Gallade once, stop being sarcastic."
May couldn't take this anymore and walked away from the stage, slowly. She wanted to run, but this whole thing was probably broadcasted right now, live. It wouldn't look so good if she ran away from her winning opponent. She was hoping with all her heart that none of her friends at home were watching this. Such embarrassment.. And what about the newspapers? The headlines? "Top Coordinator gets her ass kicked by some hot newbie."
How could she lose? She was a top coordinator, they never lose.. Why didn't she fight harder? She let everyone down. Herself, her friends, her Blaziken.. This was all her fault.
"May!"
May turned around and saw Solidad running towards her with full speed. May blinked a few times, surprised that she had already walked away from the huge arena quite a distance now. She lowered her head in shame, not wanting to face anyone after that battle.
"May.." Solidad repeated, holding May's shoulders. "Are you alright?"
"D.." May took a deep breath, she had a hard time to speak, or even breathe. "Does it look like it..?"
Solidad sighed and stared around the area. They were standing close to the city mall, just a few seconds away. There were no people around, they were watching the contest. The stores were probably closed anyways.
"Where's Drew? Too busy getting girls?" May bursted out, her tears flowing down with nothing to stop them.
"He's waiting for me right now." Solidad explained. "He was the first one to follow you, but I stopped him, the judges gave me a few minutes to return.. Or else I'm out of the contest."
"But.. Go back, Solidad!" May said, sniffing. "You can't let Drew win!"
"Heh, I won't." Solidad replied and giggled. "I just wanted to make sure you were alright. Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah.. I'm just gonna get back to the hotel and rest, melt this down.."
Solidad nodded and hugged May tightly before going back to the arena, waving towards May as she did so. May watched as one of her best friends left her, all alone, nobody around. May sighed and closed her tearful eyes. The only thing that could be heard was the wind lifting her long, brown hair. And her cellphone.
She snapped her eyes open and pulled her red cellphone up, annoyed and curious at the same time. There was some random number on the screen, but that wasn't really surprising, she didn't really care to save any contacts, except for her family and a few others.
"Hello..?" May asked after she answered to the call, trying to sound happy. "Mom?"
"MAY!" a startled voice could be heard through the phone. "YOU HAVE TO GET BACK HERE NOW!"
May raised an eyebrow, who was it? In the background, a few screaming voices could be heard, plus the sound of a few objects being violently thrown.
"MAY! ARE YOU THERE?" the person repeated.
"W-Who is it?" May stuttered, pulling the cellphone away from her ear abit, it was too much noise with all the stuff crashing and breaking.
"IT'S ME, BROCK!"
"BROCK?" May suddenly screamed, her voice echoing through the empty part of the city. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER THERE?"
"PIKA PIKAPI!" another voice could be heard through the phone.
"MAY!" the person, Brock, continued. "ASH HAS GONE NUTS, YOU HAVE TO GET HERE, NOW!"
"AND WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING TO, ROMEO?"
A few other objects could be heard shattering, and the call then ended, leaving the brunette to blink in surprise.
Lol
"What is love to you, Ash?"
"Not again.."
The raven haired boy punched the ground, cursing himself and everything else around him for not remembering what had just happened.
"Tell me, Ash." the girl said and giggled.
"Tell you what?" the boy asked, annoyed. "I'm sooo getting tired of this."
"Ash?" the girl asked and giggled again. "Do you remember anything at all?"
"No, I don't." Ash replied and walked to the edge of the cliff. "For some reason it feels like I don't want to."
"Well, that sounds understandable." the girl said and giggled again, making Ash grunt.
The girl stepped aside so that Ash could get some space, but mainly because she didn't want Ash to see her.
"So when is all of this creepy stuff going to end?" Ash asked the girl, trying to see her face. "I really want a hamburger.."
Ash shook his head in frustration, why would she have a parasol in the evening? He gasped in surprise as he saw that the girl had handed over a hamburger wrapped in paper for him, just like he wanted. He slowly grabbed the burger out of the waiting girl's hand, suspecting that this was some kind of trap. His suspicions quickly faded away as he inhaled the smell of the burger. Still hot.. Ash sighed with a huge smile, making the girl giggle. Ash quickly tossed the paper wrapped around the burger and lifted the top bread piece to see its ingredients. He gasped as he saw that the burger was perfect; plenty of salad, ketchup, a double layer of beef and cheese, combined with barbeque sauce and similar made Ash literally drool.
"Um.." the boy started, still smiling widely. "You don't happen to have any-"
The girl interrupted him as she, out of nowhere it seemed, handed over a big drink that contained lemonade. Ash smiled even more and quickly took the lemonade out of the girl's hand and began eating the burger. Within a few seconds, the custom-made-double-cheeseburger was gone, together with half of the lemonade.
"That.. That was awesome!" the boy almost screamed, smiling with his eyes closed. "If only there was-"
The girl interrupted him once again, and in her hands this time was a hot dog with ketchup, mustard and grilled onions.
"No way.." Ash gasped.
After recovering from the temporary shock, Ash grabbed the hot dog with an even wider smile and started eating it. In 3 bites he had already finished it, and the lemonade bottle was now completely empty. Ash sighed and rubbed his happy stomach, it wasn't growling anymore. Ash blinked a few times and wondered what just happened.
"How.. How did you know my favorite meal..?" he asked and stepped closer.
"That's easy." the girl replied and giggled. "Cause I was the one showing it to you."
"Wha.. What?"
The girl didn't speak anymore and only giggled as the boy kept on rabbling a few strange words.
"Enough talking." the girl said and turned around, quickly covering Ash's eyes with her hand. "It's time to wake up.."
She whispered those last words, but Ash didn't really care. He had seen the face of the girl for a moment, for a split second. And he was glad he did.
lol
"Last known location was at the southern part of the city." a man in black said, informing his team members. "We've spotted them jumping onto trains and trucks, and now, we know where they're heading."
The man in black pressed a button so that the projector in the room showed a different image, this time showing the people in the room a cat.
"This little fella.." Jens started pointed at the image of the laughing cat. "Is our primary target. Our mission objective is to get him back to Giovanni within 2 weeks."
"Alive." Jens added as he got a few strange stares from his men.
Jens pressed another button on his remote so that the image zoomed out, showing two persons standing next to the cat.
"These two idiots.." Jens said and pointed at the blue haired man and the red haired woman on the picture. "Are accompaning Meowth. We have orders to.. Kill them, but my orders for you is to bring them in.. Alive.."
Jens's team nodded, they knew what to do. A few men started to gather their equipment, but Jens stopped them from taking any lethal firearms.
"That won't be neccessary." Jens as he left the room. "Gear up, you got 5 minutes."
The 6 man team quickly grabbed their stuff before following their leader, it wouldn't end so good if they came late. As Jens packed his stuff in his own private room, he couldn't help but glance at his "trophy" wall. Unlike the others, it wasn't a trophy. It was just a picture of that girl he killed. It made him weak. Strong.. Determined. But the strongest feeling that hit him whenever he stared at the picture was sorrow.
lol
"Solidad is finally back! Another top coordinator from Hoenn is about to face Drew with the hopes of battling Aurora in the finals! You ready?"
Solidad was standing still with a huge smile, expecting a battle of her life. She nodded once to Marian and then redirected her eyes towards her opponent, Drew.
"And here we are, Drew." Solidad said and winked. "Wanna head towards the buffét after I win this?"
"Sure." Drew replied and flicked his hair with a smirk. "But I believe it is very expensive.. You can't possibly attend without that card, hm?"
"I'll be there, with or without that card." Solidad said and winked again before throwing a pokéball high into the air. "Go!"
"Hmpf, what ever." Drew said and flicked his hair. "Let's do this."
lol
Brock, for the tenth time, dodged an incoming hard object flying his way. He shook his head in disbelief, he couldn't understand why his friend was acting like this. What to do.. What to do before he tared this whole place down?
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
The yellow mouse creature hesitated for a moment, but then launched a pretty powerful electric charge towards his trainer who was about to get out of the bed. Ash screamed in pain before dropping to the floor.
"Nice work, Pikachu." Brock said and sighed.
Pikachu and Brock stepped closer to Ash who seemed to be unconscious on the floor, but gasped as they saw Ash quickly stand up, shaking a bit.
"Now that was refreshing!" the boy said, shaking off a little electricity that was still flowing through his body. "You really thought that would stop me?"
The boy started laughing like a mad man as Brock and Pikachu sweatdropped. After a few seconds of hectic laughing, the raven haired boy sprinted out of the room, leaving the stunned Pikachu and Brock. Pikachu finally snapped out of it, sprinting after its trainer. Brock soon followed, not wanting to know what Ash could do when he was nuts.
Lol
"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE WANTS TO KILL US!"
"SH, SHUT UP, THE DRIVER'LL NOTICE US!"
The trio containing the blue haired man, the red haired woman and the talking cat was sitting on the back of a large truck, sneaking in when the driver wasn't watching. They had no idea where they were going actually, they just wanted to get out of there, well, except for one of them.
"SUCH.." the woman, Jessie, tried to whisper. "SUCH DISRESPECT! I SHOULD BE THE ONE KILLING HIM!"
"Jessie, calm down! We're very lucky that that nice man let us go, he had direct orders to kill us.." the blue haired man, James stated with a sigh.
"Man.. For haow long is this truck gon' ridin' fo?" the cat complained, trying to peek out of a small hole. "Guys, we're not so far from Jubilife City actually.. I think I can see it from here."
Jessie and James pushed the cat away to peek at the little hole and clenched their fists when they saw that they were just outside the city.
"AND FOR HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN STUCK IN HERE?" Jessie screamed, now getting attention of the driver.. Who wasn't driving.
"W-hatha hell was that?" the driver said, waking up. "Who's there?"
The trio quickly ducked, trying to hide them selves in the dark among many boxes and other cargo.
"Wait a go, Jess!" the cat whispered annoyed. "When he finds us, he's gon' call tha cops, and when they know we're Team Rocket we're screwed!"
"Shut up!" Jessie defended herself. "We're not Team Rocket anymore!"
"But we still got our own clothes!"
"WHO CARES?"
"THE POLICE, MAYBE? HM, STUPID!"
"DID YOU JUST CALL ME STUPID..?"
Jessie was about to blow up and slap the cat on the face, but she was too slow and got a slap first. She noticed that Meowth had also gotten a slap, and both of them turned their heads to see that it was James who did it. James chuckled embarrassed at first, but then motioned for the two of them to shut up.
"Listen.." James whispered, barely getting away with slapping Meowth and Jessie.
The three of them went quiet and listened for any sounds, and they all giggled as they heard that the driver was snoring.. Again. Jessie and Meowth stopped giggling and stared at the blue haired man.
"What..?" James asked, backing off a bit. "Why are staring at me like-"
He did not have time to finish that sentence as he was knocked unconscious by two hits to the face.
lol
The flower like creature landed on the ground pretty painfully, knocking it out for sure this time. The judges signaled that Roserade was no longer able to battle by pressing the X's on their voting pads.
The crowd applauded the top coordinator as she had just defeated her rival, like last time. Solidad's picture was now present on all of the arena screens, showing everybody that she was the winner and would proceed to the finals against Aurora.
"Great battle." John said and watched as the crowd went nuts. "A great battle indeed."
John couldn't help but smirk as he glanced at his two friends next to him; the only persons who didn't cheer or smile for that part. Amelia, she was still very quiet, not paying attention to anything at all, John suspected that it had something to do with Drew, but he couldn't know for sure. Dawn on the other hand.. He knew exactly why she was quiet, sad.
"Don't you think so, Dawn?" John asked and nudged the girl with his shoulder.
The girl snapped out of her thoughts, clearly upset.
"I.. I can't believe she lost! She's a top coordinator!" the blue haired girl bursted out, her voice cracking up. "Now.. Now.. Now I have to.."
The girl shook her head before hiding her face with her hands.
"No..! I won't do it, no deal!" Dawn whispered.
John could still hear Dawn even though she was whispering and that the crowd was still cheering as Solidad thanked Drew for a great battle.
"And Solidad will be facing Aurora in the finals!" Marian announced as the crowd calmed down a bit. "The final will start in a few minutes, and in the meantime, we will fix the battlefield to make sure that it is as good as new!"
A few persons came from backstage and started to repair the beat up field with machines and stuff, motioning for the two contestants to move away.
"A bet is a bet." John continued, trying his best not to smile or laugh. "You can't just back off."
"John, please don't make me do it.." Dawn whispered again.
"Pff, you wanted me to buy a 2 year buffét card, and what you're about to do is practically worth nothing."
"But.. May would kill me.." Dawn whispered and sighed. "Amelia, please help me.."
Dawn never got an answer and opened one eye to see that Amelia wasn't on her seat.
"Where.. Where's Amelia..?"
lol
"So this is freedom..?"
A Meowth crossed his arms, irritated that they had been captured.. By that same man.
"Listen, you.." Jessie started. "If you don't let us out right now I'll kick your butt!"
"Ye! She's right!" the cat added.
None of them got any answer as the driver and the other man in black who was sitting in the passenger seat was dead silent.
"I'll get you!" Jessie screamed, trying to break the steelbar that was between her and the men in black.
"This is all your fault!" Jessie screamed, trying to get some more space in the backseat.
"Excuse me?" the cat got out. "I wasn't tha one fallin' fo that icecream truck! Now who would leave icecream unguarded?"
"Shut up! How could I know it was a trap?"
She turned around and faced her blue haired teammate.
"And you!" she started. "What are you doing?"
James was obviously thinking about something, as he watched the driver who was probably the leader of the extraction team.
"Hey, I know you!" James said, leaning forward. "You're Jens!"
The two men in black didn't respond, and Jessie and Meowth stared at their friend with curiousity.
"Who's Jens..?" Jessie asked and stared at the driver from behind. "Is he like, famous?"
"Don't you remember when we first joined? Our teacher said something about this Jens guy, he was a legend and the boss's favorite. He got promoted big time when he killed a young girl."
The driver seemed to flinch at that explaination, and his partner motioned for their prisoners to shut up.
"Oh yeah.." Jessie started and thought about it. "Wasn't that girl he killed like.. 11 years old?"
"Yeah.. I heard that girl had a boyfriend, too."
Like before that day, James slapped his two friends on the back of this heads.
"We were given specific orders not to talk about this, anytime!" James bursted out.
"ARE YOU COMPLETELY OUT OF YOUR MIND?" Jessie screamed and punched James in the face. "YOU BROUGHT IT UP!"
"So you're Jens..?" Meowth asked after hitting James in the face, too.
The men in black did not respond, making everyone in the van go quiet.
"So, how did it feel..?" Meowth started, breaking the awkward silence. "Taking someones life..?"
lol
May smiled, she knew somehow that Solidad would win. She glanced at the huge tv screen as she went by it, would she be able to win against Aurora? Of course.. She's a real top coordinator, unlike herself. She started to walk faster towards the pokécenter, getting more and more worried for every second that went by. She tried to call Brock, but there was never anyone there to pick up the phone. Maybe she just called at the wrong time..? Meh, he would have called back if that was the case. May stopped and looked around. Where was everybody anyways? Was the festival really that good..?
She thought she heard a sound from behind and screeched in fear before running towards the pokécenter at a very high speed. After a few seconds, or a full minute, of intense non-stop running she finally stopped to catch her breath. She looked around once again and recognized the area she was in; she was next to the park entrance. After finally being able to breathe normally, the girl went through the park, heading towards the pokécenter. She sighed as she watched a few pokémon who were swimming peacefully in a little lake, happy that the horrible kids had now gone to the festival. May wanted to stay and play with them, but kept on walking as she thought of Brock and that call from before. She had now walked through the whole park, standing at an exit. She glanced back one time at the park and sighed. It was a real nice park..
She heard someone laugh in a pretty funny way from behind, laughing just like Ash did. Ash.. It would be real nice to be at the park with him sometime..
Her thoughts got interrupted as the mad laughing sound quickly got closer, making her turn around to see what was going on. She could see that it was a boy running towards her, fast. She blinked in surprise as she recognized the crazy boy as he was almost by her.
"Ash..?" May asked as the boy was a few yards from her.
The raven haired boy however didn't really notice the girl as he still had his eyes locked on to the park exit/entrance.
"PIKACHU!" another voice could be heard. "WE'RE GONNA LOSE HIM IN THE PARK, USE YOUR STRONGEST THUNDERBOLT NOW!"
May blinked even more, wondering what in the world was happening. She started to realize that something not-so-good would happen, but before she could react, the boy that was now right next to her was shaking and glowing with electricity, and soon enough, her own body was, too.
lol
The green haired coordinator smiled as he walked backstage. Why? He did not know. Usually after defeats like these he would blame himself and his pokémon before training hard to ensure that it would never happen again. Now, after an important battle with Solidad, he had lost, and now he was just smiling for some reason. Maybe he was going mad after losing..?
"Drew..?"
The boy snapped his head up, his thoughts disturbed. He raised an eyebrow at first as he saw a familiar pink haired girl in front of him, but then closed his eyes again, leaning against the wall.
"What is it..?" Drew asked, trying not to sound too harsh.
The pink haired girl opened her mouth to say something but stopped as she hesitated.
"Great battle.." Amelia whispered, staring at her old friend.
"I didn't win, it doesn't matter." the boy replied and crossed his arms.
"But it was still a good battle..?"
"Maybe so, but it was clearly not good enough."
"But.. It was still much better than what I can do.."
The boy did not reply to that, and the pink haired girl sighed before going to Drew, also leaning against the wall.
"But I didn't-"
"Win anything..?" the girl interrupted. "You're wrong there."
The green haired boy turned his head and faced the girl and wondered what she meant with that.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Drew asked.
"You.." Amelia started and took a deep breath. "You did win something.."
Drew just raised an eyebrow as the girl took another deep breath. Amelia then turned around and finally faced Drew with her hands put lightly on his chest.
"You won my heart.." Amelia whispered.
She grabbed the boy's collar and pulled the boy into a kiss, surprising both herself and the boy. She kissed him softly at first, but when Drew had finally realized what was happening, he happily returned the kiss, making it more passionate. They never noticed another pink haired girl who was standing at the side, watching it all with a huge smile.
lol
She shook her head, trying to get back her vision. As it was slowly returning, she noticed that she had a huge headache.
"This.." she whispered. "This must be how a hangover feels like.."
Her vision was now almost completely back, but she felt a little bit.. Light. She screamed out loud as she saw that she had clothes that sick patients usually had. Probably after hearing that scream, her friend, Brock, came running into the room, wondering why she screamed.
"May!" he almost screamed, but then sighed. "You're awake I see. But why did you scream?"
"WHY AM I DRESSED IN THESE?" May bursted out. "And what is.. THAT?"
May sat up straight in the bed and pointed to a table next to her that had a pile of burned stuff.
"That's.." the breeder started and chuckled. "That's your clothes.. Atleast it used to be."
May's eyes went wide as she could see her clothes that were at the edge of being completely black. She lay back in the bed and hid herself with the sheet.
"That was my only pair.." the girl whined.
"You don't have any other clothes..?"
"What..?" the girl said and blushed. "Of course I have!"
"Then why don't you-"
"DID YOU CHANGE ME INTO THESE CLOTHES?" May screamed, trying to change the subject.
"Of.. Of course not!" Brock said and chuckled, backing off a bit. "There was this nice young girl who offered to do that for you."
"So you're saying that a girl just came in and changed my clothes..?"
"Ugh.. That's.. Yeah, that's pretty much what happened."
May shivered once, but decided to believe Brock anyway.
"You mind telling me why I'm here..? Why my clothes are.. Are.."
She didn't finish that sentence and just pointed at the table. Brock raised an eyebrow before bursting out with complete laughter, not being able to stop himself.
"It's Ash.. He.. Um.." Brock started and took a seat next to the girl. "He kind of escaped the pokécenter, and we had to stop him. That's when you came in, and you got shocked too.. With a very very powerful Thunderbolt from Pikachu."
"Oh yeah.." May said, taking down the sheet. "What was up with him..?"
"You tell me." Brock replied and sighed. "After he finally woke up, he's been acting strange.. He's been having serious mood changes. First, he's like the most stupid person on earth. The next second, he's the most kind hearted person ever."
"But when I saw him before he was laughing like crazy..?"
"Yeah.. That was his crazy mode."
"And when you called me..?"
"Rage mode."
"I see.."
May sighed once before staring at Brock.
"How are you feeling?" Brock asked her.
"I.. I'm fine, I think. How's Ash?"
"He's sleeping.. Pikachu's on guard."
May got herself out of the bed but was stopped by Brock halfway.
"You should rest, you got a lot of electricity in your body, we should wait for Nurse Joy, May." the breeder told her with a serious face expression.
"No.. I want to see Ash." May told him and pushed his hand away. "I'm fine, Brock."
Brock opened his mouth to protest but let the girl go, it was her choice.. Brock escorted May to the room where her crush was in, and she could only smile as she saw that the boy was sleeping sweetly, his raven hair free from that cap.
"Pikapika, pikachu.." the rodent apologized as May sat down.
"No, it's not your fault." May reassured and hugged him. "Now, I want you to help out Brock with his pokémon work, 'kay?"
Brock raised an eyebrow but then left the room with Pikachu, for some reason, people that needed help always came at the wrong time.. May took a seat next to the sleeping boy and giggled as she noticed that he was also wearing same clothes as she did, and that luckily his cap wasn't screwed up. She sighed and put her hand on the boy's chin, feeling his warmth. How could anyone be so warm..? She sighed again, closing her eyes. When she opened them, she screeched and fell off the chair when she saw that Ash's eyes were open.
"That gotta hurt." the boy said as May got up, rubbing her butt.
"Ash!" May got out, sitting down again. "How are you?"
"Much better than you, I can tell." the boy said, flicking his hair.
May raised an eyebrow, what was this..? She expected that Ash would be a little bit strange with his mood swings.. But this was waaaay over the line, Drew number 2?
"Ash.." the girl started again and sighed. "I lost in the contest."
"As I expected."
May clenched her fist. She couldn't get angry.. This wasn't Ash. Or was it..?
"Ash.. I know this isn't you, now stop being like that."
"Now why would it not be me?"
"Cause.. You're having mood swings."
"Mood swings my ass. This. Is. Me. For real."
May sighed, she would soon punch the boy in the face.
"Guess none of us will get that buffét card.." May said and smiled a bit.
"Who gives. You're fat anyway."
May clenched both of her fists, resisting the urge to call for Pikachu and give the boy a real thunder attack.
"May.. I'm.. I'm sorry."
May looked at the boy, wondering what was up now.
"I'm sorry for being a bad friend.." the boy whispered and stared at the girl.
May sighed, did his moods change so quickly?
".. But why did you leave me?"
May snapped her head up and blinked a few times.
"I.. I.. I did it for you, Ash.." May whispered.
"How could that be for me..?"
"I wanted to.. I wanted to win that buffét card for you.."
"May.. You're so sweet."
The two of them stared at each other for a while before May broke the weird silence, turning around and blushed.
"But you didn't win it."
May sighed again before turning around, facing the boy with anger.
"So what? Atleast I tried." she muttered, crossing her arms.
"But you didn't win, you suck, May." the boy stated.
May opened her mouth to scream, but stopped in just the right time.
"I'm glad you're okay." May said and got off the chair. "Bye."
"Whatever, you're the worst."
"Excuse me?"
May turned around and faced the boy, being an inch from the boy's face.
"I know this isn't you Ash." she said, taking a deep breath. "Why are you like this..?"
"What do you mean?" the boy asked. "This is me, 100%"
May sighed and backed off, it would be best to just leave before she actually punched the boy until he passed out.
"And you're 100% fat."
May couldn't take it anymore and finally slapped the boy on the cheek, hard. That seemed to do the job, as the boy went totally quiet, his eyes locked onto the wall on the other side. May suddenly backed off, regretting that she had made half of Ash's face tomato red. Ash suddenly turned and faced May, acting like he had seen a ghost.
"May..?" the boy asked, blinking a few times.
"Y-Yes, Ash..?" May asked, stepping closer to the boy. "D.. Did it hurt..?"
"Did what hurt?" the boy asked.
"Um.. Nothing!" May said and laughed sheepishly.
A strange silence hovered over the room as the two of them stared at each other, and the only thing that could be heard was Pikachu and Brock helping each other clean up a mess, probably from spilling a few medications and potions.
"You're beautiful.." the boy whispered, still staring at the girl.
May could only blush and turn away as the boy made her blink with surprise. These mood swings were killing her.. She sat down on that chair again, hoping to make some good conversations with the boy that didn't end up with her slapping him on the cheek. Suddenly, the boy sat upstraight on the bed and put his hands on the girl's cheeks.
"ASH? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she screamed in surprise.
Ash wasn't holding her so hard that it hurt, but it was still a tight grip. The boy then leaned in closer and kissed her, roughly, using his tongue, exploring May's whole mouth. She only blinked a few times during the kiss as he was softly squeezing her lips, wondering if she was dreaming. When the kiss was finally over, she got dizzy and finally fainted, also falling off the chair to the floor. Brock and Pikachu came sprinting to the room, wondering why she had screamed.
"What's happening?" Brock asked, wondering why May was on the floor. "Ash! You're back! What did.. Did you hit her..?"
"Was.. Was I too rough..?" the boy asked, staring at the unconscious girl who was lying on the floor.
