A/N: I keep forgetting this, but anyways. I decided to put a Pokémon POV in this chapter. And, I couldn't wait for 4 reviews. Too excited! Enjoy!

Chapter 3: It's time.
Giovanni POV
I smacked James as hard as I could, and then sent my precious Persian on his wimpy Meowth. Jessie knew it was her turn and braced herself for the slap. I still hurt when I slapped her, and I know that from the stinging sensation that came to my palm.
Meowth screamed as my Persian used Fury Swipes on his face. Next he used Bite and clipped Meowth's claws to almost nothingness.
Meowth tried to scream pleas of surrender, but Persian kept attacking. I had Cassidy hold back Jessie, and Butch hold James.
I laughed at the wimpy trio as I sat at my desk. They were past the Unova region and still had not captured the boy's Pikachu with success. Persian finished, leaving Meowth in scraps. I signaled for Cassidy and Butch to let go of the two, and they immediately ran to Meowth's side.
Soon I saw Meowth's chest stop moving, and Team Rocket's wimpiest members turned to me. I smirked when I saw their wimpy glares. They were nothing compared to me and my precious Persian.
"Yanma, use Night Shade at Giovanni's head!" I barely had enough time to register these words when a deadly Night Shade came right for my face.
Brock's POV
Erika looked at her shoes as she spoke. "Um, B-Brock? I need to tell you som-" She got cut off by my Pokedex. 'RING RING RING, RING RING RING, PHONE CALL PHONE CALL.' I pulled it out of my jeans and looked at the Caller ID. "Misty? I haven't talked to her in ages." I picked it up and Misty started to scream into the phone.
I heard some stuff about May turning into Celebi and Misty hung up. I heard she was in Iraz Forest. "Erika, I'm so sorry, but I have to go. Something about my friend turning into Celebi. If that is even what Misty said." Erika perked up from her shoes.
"I thought that old bedtime story was a myth! My mom used to tell it to me on cold winter nights." I nodded and pulled out Steelix's Pokeball. "Yea, I used to tell it to my little siblings, and my mom used to tell it to me." Erika nodded as I released Steelix. I jumped on his back, since we were only a few towns away from Iraz Forest.
Erika waved solemnly as Steelix trudged away slowly.
May POV
Everything was a blur. Diane leading us to her village. Meeting Diane's grandmother. Somewhere in the mix I grabbed Drew's hand. He didn't object, so I held on through almost the whole tour of the tree house village.
We got to Diane's house and she invited us in. We sat around the room in various places. I was still holding tightly onto Drew's hand. Misty realized this and whispered something to Diane. They giggled, and I let go rashly. I looked at Drew and his face was as red as mine.
Misty pulled me from my feet over to a corner in the room. She whispered, "Are you going out with Drew?" My face turned redder than Groudon. "No! We are not!" I practically screamed it.
Drew looked over and raised his eyebrow. I blushed and turned towards Misty. She laughed quietly and smiled. "Do you wish you were?" I looked at my shoes, my face probably looking like Charmeleon. "Maybe." I muttered so only Misty could hear. She laughed one more time before grabbing my wrist. She pulled me to the door of the tree house.
I climbed down after the red-headed girl. She grabbed my wrist again and pulled me out of earshot of the tree house. She started teasing me. "Drew and May sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First come love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in the baby carriage!" She stuck her tongue out at me and ran. I chased her right into the woods.
Soon we got too tired to run. We stopped to catch our breath when I felt a burn come up my side. I let out an ear-piercing scream and fell to my knees. I looked up and saw two familiar faces. "Team Rocket! Where's Meowth?" They ignored me as James pet a Growlithe. "Good job, Growly." Jessie's eyes were puffy, and James ignored us by petting the Growlithe.
"Meowth was killed by our boss Giovanni, and for that, Giovanni is now dead." I gasped as Jessie had no sound of regret in her voice. I saw everyone run in, and the ones who knew Team Rocket gasp. My vision started to blur. Drew ran over to me, and I moved my hands so he could see my burn. He gasped at the sight of it.
I passed out as he took out Flygon.
Brock POV
I heard a scream as I entered the forest. The scream was odd, it sounded like May. May! I called Steelix back and ran in. When I got to a clearing, I saw May passed out as Drew took out Flygon. Wait, why is Drew here? Drew set May down carefully on Flygon's back. "Flygon, take her to the nearest town. I need you to find a Pokémon Center and have Nurse Joy help her. Go, now!"
Flygon took off through the treetops.
I ran over and saw Team Rocket with a Growlithe, but no Meowth. Ash looked over and saw me. "Brock!" Misty turned and smiled."You came! Now hurry, and help us!"
Flygon POV
I flew around, franticly looking for a Pokémon Center. The fainted May on my back needed my help.
I saw the red building a ways away, and sped off after it, being careful not to drop May. I dropped to the doors as they automatically opened. Nurse Joy turned as I set May on the tile floor. She gasped and ran to May's side. I took off through the doors to find Drew.
When I got back to the forest I nudged Drew's hand. He turned and I saw the two crooks that tried to take that boy's Pikachu. They were running away. Drew jumped on my back and I took him to the Center.
I got to the doors as they opened. Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny were looking at May, who was on a stretcher.
Drew POV
I jumped off Flygon, and Joy and Jenny turned to me. "That Flygon is yours? He dropped off this girl." I nodded and put Flygon back in his Pokeball.
"Yeah, I sent him with her to find the nearest center." Jenny walked over to me. "Young man, what happened to this poor girl? She has a horrible burn on her left side." I bit my lip, worried about May. "She got attacked by these crooks called Team Rocket."
Joy had an angry look in her in her eyes, something I've never seen on any Joy before. I backed up a step because of this. "I have had enough of those stupid criminals! They need to go down!"
Jenny went over and started to calm Joy down. Meanwhile, May started to move. I ran over to her side and grabbed her hand. Her eyes fluttered open and I smiled slowly. "May! Can you hear me?" She sat up quickly but slowed down and held her side.
"Please, don't rush yourself. That burn is pretty bad." I turned to see Nurse Joy talking to her, much nicer since she calmed down. May nodded and sat up the rest of the way slowly. I still was holding her hand. She blushed and pulled away.
Pikachu POV
Ok, so I'm confused. Ash always says he likes May, but now he's showing signs that he likes Misty. Oh, and pretty much everyone he knows has shown up today, except Dawn and Paul. Last time I saw them was after the Sinnoh League.
Anyways, I think he should choose Misty. They have known each other since the beginning, and it's obvious that May and Drew like each other. I mean, they have held hands how many times today? I lost count.
I wish he wasn't so dense.
I mean, even he should see that Misty likes him back! I feel sorry for myself being in this mess.
Dawn POV
Paul gave me one last kiss on my cheek as I left for my home in Twinleaf Town. He left for his home in Veilstone City. When I got home, my mom Johanna was tapping her foot. "Dawn! Where have you been? It's 10:34. You said you would be home at 9. Was the convention that fun?" I giggled silently. She didn't know about Paul.
I nodded and ran upstairs, with Glameow trailing behind me. I threw my purse on my bed, spilling the love note and daises that Paul gave me. I giggled and sat at my desk.
Let's see if Paul's online… Yes! He is! Wait, how did he get home so fast? Eh, who cares?
Misty POV
Does Ash know I like him? I hope not. I'm scared it will mess up our friendship. But he's so shallow; I bet he hasn't caught on yet. He looks so much older since when he traveled in the Hoenn region. And cuter. I wish I could tell him, but I can't.
He still looks a lot like he used to. He still has that dumb hat phase going on.
Pikachu looks the same too. Well, I guess Pikachu will always look the same. I'm glad Pikachu didn't evolve while Ash was gone. If he did, Ash wouldn't be able to carry him on his shoulder, and that's a thing for him.
Brock looks about the same too. I wonder how he's been.
I feel bad for May. She has been through a lot, and she has a new crush, Drew. Does Drew even like her? I think so.
I miss when Ash, Brock, and I all traveled together. Those were fun times.
But those days are over. I hope my sisters are taking care of the Gym ok. Who am I kidding; they are probably just giving Badges away.
I hope I can tell Ash soon. He's so cute; it's hard not to. But, anyways. Time to get back to the real world.
Ash POV
Does Misty know I like her? I hope not. I'm scared it will ruin our friendship. But she's so cute; I bet she has a boyfriend. She looks so much more sophisticated since I traveled in the Hoenn region. And cuter. I wish I could tell her, but I can't.
She looks a lot like she used to. She still has that side ponytail phase going on.
I wonder what she thinks of me. Probably that I'm just a kid still. That I'll never grow up, but still. You never know. She might think I'm cute. Probably not though; she could have way better than me.
Brock looks about the same too. I wonder what he's been doing.
I feel bad for May. She has been through a whole bunch, and I think she likes Drew. I used to think she was kind of cute, but Misty is really cute.
I miss when Misty, Brock, and I traveled together. It was fun.
But, now that's all over. I hope my mom is doing ok. Who am I kidding; she is probably worried sick every time I leave for a new region.
I hope I can tell Misty soon. She so cute; it's hard not to. But, I need to think about getting through this all here.
Paul POV
I got on Pokebook and saw that Dawn was on. I started a chat session.

DrewHayden2001: May is going to be alright. Her burn is not as serious as we thought. They are going to put medicine on it and bandage it up, it will be fine. They will release her Tuesday.
Togepi366: Thank Lugia. My heart slowed down majorly just now.
UltimatePikachuMaster433: Mine too.
Piplup333: I have to admit mine did too.

Togepi366: May I'm Misty, Piplup333 is Dawn, UltimatePikachuMaster433 is Ash, and DrewHayden2001 is Drew (Duh. Even Ash could figure that one out ;P)
UltimatePikachuMaster433: Hey!

Piplup333: Misty, ugh you made her mad. You should have just dropped it.
Togepi366: I'm just telling the truth.
UltimatePikachuMaster433: That was really mean Misty.
Togepi366: Whatever, let's change the subject.
DrewHayden2001: Does she really like me?
Togepi366: Yea, she told me that one time we were in Diane's house and I drug her outside. When she yelled "I DO NOT!" is when she denied that you were dating, and then I asked if she liked you and she said maybe.
Piplup333: Wow, so it's obvious. She does like Drew.
UltimatePikachuMaster433: Yea.
DrewHayden2001: Tell her this and you die. I like her too.
DrewHayden2001 has logged out.
Togepi366: Wow. I'm so scared.
