Chapter 2: It's just the beginning.

May POV

I looked down at my chest, and gasped. There was a necklace with a small charm on it. The charm said two words: It's Time. I almost laughed at the joke, It's Time? Because I can now time travel? I almost did, but I didn't.

I instead broke down and sank to the forest floor, sobbing at the memory of Celebi. Oh, Celebi.

Ash POV

May looked down at the necklace that she now had on. She gasped, and sank to the forest floor, sobbing. I immediately knew it had something to do with Celebi.

I ran over to her and kneeled in front of her limp body. She looked up at me, and I whispered, "Is this about Celebi?" She nodded slowly a started going into hysterics.

I heard a girl's shriek followed by many, many more. I turned around and Drew's eyes fly wide open. "Run."

Drew POV

I started to run before anyone could process what was going on. Misty and Ash immediately started to sprint, but May was still on the ground. I noticed this when I was about two feet away, and ran back to her.

I grabbed her wrist, and dragged her to her feet. She finally got what was going on, and started to sprint after us, her hand still locked with mine.

Unknown POV

I ran through the halls, trying to find him. He was nowhere. I cursed silently in the ancient language, as it was my birth language.

I ran until I saw him, all six feet of him. He looked at me expectantly.

I cleared my throat, and said, "I have found her. I have found the Celebi girl."

Diane POV

After the mob ran in, I got scared for that green haired boy. They were all carrying posters with giant heads glued on them.

Every single one had the boy's head on it.

They ran in, and a few minutes later I heard a scream. I ran in, hoping to find the owner of that scream. I saw Ash, May, the boy, and the girl with orange hair all run. I followed, and soon saw this was more serious than I thought.

May POV

We all ran until our feet hurt, but we only stopped when we got to the clearing with the small rock formation that looked oddly familiar, yet so foreign. I saw Diane run in. Ash, Misty and I's heads all perked up. "Diane! What are you doing here?" Misty and I looked at Ash, who said the comment, then back up to Diane.

"I heard a scream and ran in, thinking something was awfully wrong happened. So, did it?" Misty nodded. "This mob surrounded me and I screamed. They were looking for Drew." As an instinct, everyone in our little trio glared at Drew.

He smiled bashfully and shrugged his shoulders. "What can I say? I'm incredibly handsome." I got extremely mad at this for some reason. "Whatever Cabbage Boy! NO ONE FREAKING CARES! We need to get out of this stupid fores-" I was cut off by the growing pain in my chest. I sank to the ground moaning.

Everything was in slow motion. I saw Drew run over and grab my hand. He looked at my eyes and gasped. For once, I felt the wrong emotion at the wrong time. I felt bashful at the sight of us holding hands. I knew I should have felt pain or fear, but I didn't.

The next thing I knew I blacked out, and saw nothing but darkness.

Drew POV

May's sapphire eyes were glowing GREEN! She fell to the ground, moaning in pain. I ran to her side and clutched her hand. She passed out, and everyone helped wake her up. When my hand brushed her necklace, it was burning hot. I touched it again, and brought my hand back in pain.

Everyone stared at me in confusion, but then at May. She started to stir, and when she saw me, her eyes widened.

"Celebi… Quest… Me… You…Get… Time…Hurry… Limit…" Those were the only words I could pick up.

I stared at her in confusion, but she drifted off again. I picked her up and held her in my arms. "We need to get her somewhere out of here!" Diane's eyes widened. "There is a little cave near the lake. We can go there for the time being, until the mob passes by." Everyone glared at me, and I ran. Ran away from their angry faces. Ran away from my unsaid words. Ran away from my confusing feelings and thoughts. Ran just to run. Ran to save May. Ran to the lake. Ran towards the cave. Just ran.

I was scared, very scared. But that motivated me to run even faster. When I got there, I saw an amazing sight, the Pokémon Suicune. It was jumping through the water, and I remembered that that was how it purified it.

I just wanted to save May, but the water was so sparkly and clean that I was frozen in surprise. Suicune ran over to me and pushed me into the water. I accidentally dropped May, and she fell in, sinking, drowning. I turned and started to curse at Suicune for this when my friends walked in.

Their jaws dropped at this sight. Suicune's rough nose pushed my head sideways, and I saw May spiral out of the lake, flying. Flying? No way in hell this is happening."

Misty POV

Something seemed oddly familiar about May coming out of the lake like that… I gasped as I saw a pair of silvery delicate wing sprout from her back. Wings, spiraling out of lakes… Oh my gosh, that's what Celebi did!

She looked Drew in the eyes and giggled. He started to float off the ground… Ash seemed to recognize this act too. He whispered so only I could hear, and told me about this morning. About how something happened between May and Celebi. What that is though, we might never know.

May POV

I realized that I had Celebi's power to fly too. She told me everything that I needed to know, even that she was not using telepathy. Every Pokémon can talk in the same way as humans, but some don't care to listen.

While I had my wings out, I realized quickly that I talked the way I thought Pokémon talked at first. I also realized that Team Rocket's Meowth could not talk, we just somehow heard his tiny Pokémon voice, and Celebi told me I was right.

I started to explain to Drew about the situation, when I realized that all he could hear was, "Biiiiiiiii!" I knew that from the surprised look he gave me. I thought hard of English, and how to speak it, and soon my hard work payed off. "Drew, I need to explain some things." He wasn't paying attention, and got shocked at me speaking English again.

He nodded and flipped his hair. "You do, and I want every last detail." I nodded as tiny beads of sweat crossed my forehead, and into my eyes. This talking like a human thing sure takes a lot out of you. I started to fall, decreasing altitude, as I only focused on his safety. I used every ounce of my energy, and brought him down to shore.

Me, no such luck. I had lost so much energy I couldn't fly any more. I started to fall faster as the Earth came closer. My wings tucked neatly on my back, and I fell even faster. I heard a shout, and I felt myself being saved on a flying Pokémon. Then I blacked out.

Diane POV

I thought it was all a legend. No it is, and they were playing a joke on me. But even I couldn't fool myself. The legend was true; Celebi can transfer their powers to a human. And she did to May. Now that I think about it, I remembered how my grandma used to tell me stories about it. How she used to talk about the special necklace.

When Drew saved her on Flygon, I saw a flash in the sun. I knew it was the necklace. I overheard Ash telling Misty about that morning, and knew it was true.

I decided to tell them about the story, no matter what. And now was the perfect time to do so. "I thought it was a legend," I began, and they turned quickly to listen. "I never thought it would be true. My grandma used to tell me that all Celebi can transfer their powers to a human. I never thought it was true; I always thought it was another silly bedtime story like 'The Princess and the Pokémon'.

"But, apparently it's true. Celebi was about to die, and she transferred her powers into that necklace of hers. Now May can fly and time travel as well as use Pokémon moves and turn into the form of Celebi. But the downside is she talks like Celebi. But another story my grandma used to tell is that all Pokémon have a voice of English. But some humans just don't listen. If the one of Celebi is true, I think that one is too.

"So yea, I think that May is half Celebi." Ash's eyes widened and Misty looked as if she was about to faint. Ash spoke up first, "Wh-what? May is half C-Celebi?" I nodded and turned to see Drew land Flygon on the sand.

Drew POV

May has a lot of explaining to do when she wakes up! But for now I jumped off Flygon and set May down of the cool sand. I called Flygon back to his Pokeball. I took Roserade out and made her use Miracle Seed on May.

May's eyes fluttered open slowly and Roserade smiled. "Rose!" I kneeled down and pat her head. "Good job Roserade. You rock." I decided to leave her out just in case. May sat up a sputtered out everything about that morning and what Celebi told her. She got to the point about the quest and I payed CLOSE attention.

"We have to go to different times to get an item from every region, and the Orange Islands. We have only 1 month. We need a flame from Moltres in the Kanto region. A cup of water from a water gun of Lugia in the Orange Islands. A feather from Ho-Oh in the Jhoto region. A gem called 'The Eye of the Sea' from the Hoenn region. Apparently, Palkia sheds its pearls every once in a while and we have to get them, both of them from the Sinnoh region. Last but not least, one of the Feathers of Night from Zekrom in the Unova region."

I was shocked. This was impossible to do in only a month! Soon Roserade nodded and started talking to May. All I heard was, "Rose, rose, rade, roser, rose rose." But May seemed to understand, and looked up at me. "Roserade wants you to think like she's human. Every Pokémon can speak English, but some trainers don't listen. So think like she's Soledad or something."

I knelt down and looked Roserade in the eye. I pictured Soledad and soon heard a shrill voice. "Can you hear me?" I gasped and fell on my back. I got up, and heard a shrill laugh. "I guess so. Anyways, I need to tell you something." She climbed in my lap and whispered in my ear. I gasped loudly and looked at my shoes. My face felt red hot, and I heard a small giggle. I saw Roserade put her hands-oops sorry, roses-up to her face and hide her smile.

I looked up at May, but she looked preoccupied in her thoughts. She looks beautiful in this sunset… Wait, why am I thinking about this? Ugh, Drew, just shut up now. Ok? I'm so confused. So, so, confused.
