Chapter 2 is now done.

I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed that I only got one review….

I decided to make the chapters like 2,000 words to attract more people, but I'm just sad.

Just wanna give a big thank you to Legit Emi. His review was pretty encouraging.

One good thing is that this TTR got more favorites and followers in shortest amount of time, out of all my stories.

Chapter 2: Violet in Chains

*News Report*

"Hey May, check it out!" Drew said as he excitedly jumped onto his couch.

"Um ok…." May said as she walked over cautiously. "Drew's never really liked the news….must be something crazy then.

"There have been several reports of Mt. Silver erupting." The woman on TV said. "About 2 days ago, an explosion or eruption occurred at the summit of Mt. Silver. It is said that the explosion was visible from all the way to Violet city, making this disaster level 8.7. Luckily no one has died, but 3 survivors were recovered from the wreck. The doctors are not willing to give any information about their history….

"Whoa, Mt. Silver is a volcano?!" Drew said curiously.

"Geologists and Volcano specialists are claiming that what occurred on top of Mt. Silver was either man-made or pokemon-made since it has now been confirmed that Mt. Silver is not a volcano….."

"Wow, imagine a pokemon doing that damage…." May thought out loud.

"I bet it's a legendary!" Drew exclaimed.

"Briefly after the explosion occurred, a Red dragon was seen flying out of the debris…." She said as some footage of the dragon appeared. "It has also been confirmed that a person was riding the dragon, which seems to be a Charizard."

May's eyes widened when she saw the person on the Charizard.

"Now, we're going to go to Prof. Oak to explain how the Charizard escaped the Mountain safely." The woman said as the screen shifted towards Prof. Oak.

"Well you see, Charizard is a mountain Pokemon with amazing flying abilities…."

"I wonder if that Charizard caused the explosion, what do you think May?" Drew asked as he put his arm around her.

"Drew…..I th-think….." May stuttered as she pushed his arm off her. "Should I tell him that the person might be Ash…?" May thought.

"What is it May?"

"I think I'm going to visit Max…" May said quietly.

"What! But, why?!" Drew asked getting quite mad.

"Well if you haven't noticed, I haven't seen my brother in 9 months." May said raising her voice, while getting up.

"Can't you go another 9 months than?" Drew asked grumpily.

"Drew!" May said as she was shocked to see what Max said.

"C'mon May! I want you to stay here and that's that!" Drew said as he almost yelled, he said bolting up.

"No! I want to see my brother and I will!" May said stubbornly.

"You will stay here!" Drew said.

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"NO!"

Even thought they were arguing for a real small thing, Drew had the last straw. He hit May right across the cheek with so much force, it caused May to fall to the ground and have her tears bashed out of her.

"D-Dr-Drew…." May stuttered while tears were rolling down her face.

"You're staying here!" Drew said as he marched towards his bedroom.

May was now all alone on the floor with the TV still on.

She looked outside and it was raining, then looked towards the kitchen as she saw her pack and her pokeballs.

"I'm tired of Drew abusing me these days. This is the 4th time he hit me this week!" May said softly as she wiped the tears.

"Max is supposed to be in Goldenrod City, if I can get to Desert Resort port, I can catch a ship towards New Bark town and make my way towards Violet City, take the subway and get there in 30 minutes." May said as she walked over to the kitchen and grabbed her stuff.

"I need to tell Max that Ash is back!"

"Ok Charizard, stop right here." Ash said as he motioned for Charizard to land.

He could tell that Charizard was getting tired, and travelling in the night isn't the safest thing. So, Ash decided to stop at Violet City and look around.

"Remember this place?" Ash asked Pikachu as he returned Charizard.

"Pika Pi!" Pikachu said excitedly.

"It's been 2 years since we saw a city…." Ash said out loud. "Wonder how things have changed….."

Ash and Pikachu were about a mile away from Violet City, but he could still see the lights gleaming from the city.

Ash and Pikachu jogged towards the Violet City, since the sky was now completely dark.

Once he reached the entrance of the city he found a surprise.

"Halt!" said a man as he stopped Ash. "We require 1,000 poke-money."

Ash noticed the man wearing Team Rocket uniform.

"Since when!" Ash asked angrily.

"Since when? It's obvious that you're a foreigner. Violet City has required an entrance fee for 2 years! If you think this is bad, wait till you get to Goldenrod or Lake of Rage. The entrance fee will be so high, you'll have to sell you're little pet!" The grunt said humorously.

Ash was about to argue back, but he noticed that more members were closing in on him.

Ash knew he could take them all on, but Violet City isn't the best place for another explosion.

"Here take your money." Ash said while he threw the money on the floor.

"You better show some respect boy…" A large grunt said, but Ash just pushed him aside and walked.

As he walked through the city he noticed that nobody was outside. He noticed a few grunts in groups discussing about World domination, but other than that….nothing.

"I wonder where everyone is…." Ash thought. "Maybe I should check out the gym and see whats going on.

Ash walked towards the gym and noticed a bunch of Team Rocket Grunts there.

"I bet 5,000 poke-bucks on our guy!" Yelled a team Rocket member.

Ash got closer and saw a battle going on. Most of the Team Rocket grunts held money in their hands yelling out commands and advice to the battlers.

It was Falkner and his Pidgeot vs. Electabuzz. To Ash's surprise…..Falkner was losing.

"Too bad no one's betting on Falkner buddy here." Said another.

"Grrrrrrr, I'll teach you! Pidgeot, blow them away with twister!" said the gym leader.

Pidgeot started rapidly flapping its wings and created a mini twister.

"Mix it with Rain Dance!"

Pidgeot flew up into the air and made random gusts. In just a few seconds, rain started to come down and mixed with the twister creating a water tornado.

The combo move destroyed Electabuzz at the last 2nd and blew away a few Team Rocket members. Luckily, Ash and Pikachu didn't go flying.

"I believe I won…" Falkner said with a smirk.

"Oh really?" said the grunt that just lost.

At that moment, all the remaining Team Rocket grunts released a Golbat. The next thing you know, Pidgeot is outnumbered 1-15.

"NOW! EVERYONE USE AIR CUTTER!"

"Pikachu! Counter shield electric!" Ash cried out.

Pikachu appeared in front of Pidgeot and started spinning while using thunderbolt.

The random bolts nullified air cutters and left the Golbats wide open.

"Discharge!"

Pikachu released about 15 bolts from its body and went towards all the Golbats. The super-effective move instantly fainting them and made the Grunts retreat.

"RETREAT!" The losing grunt called.

And just in a instant it just Ash and Falkner.

"Ash?" Falkner asked.

"Um, yeah….."

"It's been a long time…..to long if you ask me. You're friends have been waiting for you."

May thought she had horrible luck. She was at a desert and the one time it rains was when she tries to escape.

May had been running through the muddy sand for about an hour. Drew's condo was away from public since they were both world famous coordinators.

"Man…..when am I gonna get to that port." May said while running through the thunder/rain storm without fear.

She started to sprint because she thought of finding Ash and apologizing, making May even more determined.

Right when she thought she could make it, she slipped and landed in the wet sand.

She had a few scrapes and was really muddy.

"I…I….I want to go home…." May said as she started to cry. "I hate this!" May said as she started to get up.

She started to walk and right when she thought she was lost and most likely dead, she saw the port. There was only one boat left and it looked like a cargo ship.

"I-I can go home!" May cried as she ran as fast as she could.

The ship blew its horn signaling its departure as the last cargo box was lowered.

"WAIT FOR ME! I WANNA GO HOME!" May cried out which seemed to have caught the sailor's attention.

"If you wanna go home, you should've asked…" said a voice from behind.

She couldn't really see anything, but when lightning lit up the sky, she found something scary.

When he grabbed her hand, thunder roared covering her scream.

"I want to go home…" May whispered.

Hmmmmmmm, everything seemed good except the last scene with May.

Am I making Drew 2 evil? I wanted this story to have Drew on a good side but I couldn't for some strange reason.

I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow when I put up the next update.

BTW: I make sure to review!

Not as depressed so…..
