Dawn's Pov (September 22nd)
May and Drew's relationship has died. Literally.
They wouldn't talk to each other at all. They won't look at each other, and they won't even be in the same room as each other. I hated it, I wanted to fix it so badly, but I don't know how. Everyone has tried to fix this, because if this were to keep going on, we might as well just forget about this tournament. I watched May leave the room as soon as Drew entered. How could they let one person ruin all of this? I hate Brianna, I really do.
Piplup looked at Skitty worriedly, talking fast. I don't know what they were talking about, but I'm figuring he is asking whats wrong with May. I sighed, Drew walking up to me. "Today is the contests. Are you and that person doing the contest together?" He sneered. He has become extremely rude and mean, and he is always calling May 'That Person' Why can't they just get along?! "No, you and May are." He stared in horror.
We all had agreed that May and Drew would be partners for the first contests, since we thought it would fix this problem. Gary had voiced his concerns though, saying it would just make us lose the match. I doubt it, they want to win just as much as us. "I-I'm not working with that!" He snarled, glaring. "Really? Okay then. Don't complain to me, find Leaf, Gary and Ash. Go complain to them, and don't cry when you get your ass burned." He paled, growling something. I smirked as he left, stomping like a little child. Honestly, this is so you can have your friendship fixed. You would think he'd want it fixed.
Now to go find May.
I turned my pokegear on, sighing as it tracked her location. Our dorm, huh? I hope she is okay. I ran towards the building, running up the stairs and opening my door. She jumped, yelping loudly. "D-Dawn! What was that about?" I took a second to cath my breath, before sitting next to her. "May, you do know you are working with Drew for this contest right?" She looked surprised, but luckily she didn't throw a tantrum like Drew. "Okay then, I'm not going to let him get in the way of our victory." I smiled, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"You know May, this is so your friendship with him can be fixed. I'm sure it'll work." She nodded, but I could see the doubt in her eyes. It worried me, because now I'm feeling like everything will go wrong now. I hope not though. I turned on my pokegear, looking through the contacts. "Want me to ask Leaf and Misty if they really think it's a good idea for you two to be on teams?" She immediately nodded. Over the week, I had gotten somewhat closer to Leaf. She'd be next to me when Paul wasn't, stopping people from laughing at me. When would all this laughing stop?
That wasn't the problem right now. I quickly sent them a text, telling them about May. Misty immediately answered back. I've been having doubts as well, but I'm sure it will work. –Misty That is one person telling me how they feel about this. Now just Leaf. My phone vibrated, a smile forming. Who cares? If May wants to, let her kill him. This is for their own good, I suppose. –Leaf. That is the most she has ever texted me, no, the most she has ever texted somebody. I showed May the texts, smiling brightly.
"Leaf said I could kill him. Why are you smiling like that?" She mumbled, raising a brow. I shrugged, "I'm sure everything would go fine. They said it is for you and him to be friends again!" She rolled her eyes, sighing. "Fine, when is the appeal round then?" I looked at the time, my eyes widening slightly. "Um.."
She looked at me, a worried look on her face. "Dawn?" I pointed at the clock, "In an hour.." Her eyes widened, before she flew into her room. "I-I need to get ready!" I waited, hearing her trip a couple of times. Piplup shook his head, while Skitty laughed. May finally came out, wearing her normal clothes. "I'm not dressing up!" She exclaimed, fixing her bandana. I smiled, shaking my head in amusement. "Okay then May, let's go." Skitty hopped into her arms as we ran out of the room.
We finally made it to the stadium after five minutes of non stop running, Misty looking at us. She looked extremely annoyed, "What is with everyone running late?" She grumbled. Ash, Gary and Leaf stared at us, before Ash spoke up. "I'm sure everything will be fine May.." He said, a reassuring smile on his face. I nodded, while she stayed quiet. "Which Pokémon are you using for the appeal?" I tried. She looked at me, before replying, "Glaceon.." I think Drew will be using Flygon, though I'm not sure.
Drew finally appeared, along with Paul. "So, can we get this over with." Drew snapped. I resisted the urge to glare, about to say something when Ash beat me to it first. "Have a better attitude. You need to win this for us. Don't let us down." They both nodded, though May seemed more determined than Drew. "Okay then, go and get ready. The appeals start in twenty minutes." They both walked into the dressing room, while the rest of us went to go find seat. I sat down, Paul sitting to my right. Leaf was to my left. I looked at both of the silent people. This is going to be so annoying, isn't it? Not Leaf, since it isn't her fault she can't talk, but Paul is going to ignore me countless times.
"Hello Paul~ Hello Leaf!" I said happily. Leaf nodded, while Paul ignored me as always. "You know ,you could answer me." He shrugged, yawning. "Hey look, it's that girl who.."
People are talking about me...
I covered my ears, trying not to let their words affect me, but it still hurt. When would people forget that incident? Leaf and Paul both turned, one glaring while the other stared them down. It made me shiver. It was like the end of the world when Paul glared and Leaf stared at the same time. They both looked like murderers. "Thanks guys.." I muttered. Of course they stayed quiet, but I saw Paul nod his head slightly. The first of the coordinators came out, doing their appeals and such. I waited patiently for May and Drew's appeal, looking around.
Misty and Ash were talking and laughing, not really paying attention to the event. Leaf was playing with her Pichu's ear, the Pokémon laughing. Gary was watching Leaf, looking away every time she would look up. Paul was listening to music. Pretty much, my friends didn't seem to care about any appeals except for May and Drew's. I stifled a giggle at that thought, Paul looking at me. "Stop being so loud." I'm not even being loud! "I'm no-" He pointed at the people looking at me, a blush forming on my face. "You were squealing this whole time." I was?
I was about to retort when May and Drew came out, all of us paying attention. "Glaceon, Shadow Ball!" The move formed, creating a huge sphere in the sky, "Flygon, Dragon Breath.." Flygon launched the move into the sphere, the purple and blue colors mixing together. "Flygon, Steel Wing." He didn't even seem all that happy. The Pokémon flew straight into the huge sphere, which exploded. The sparkled landed softly on my hand, the stadium cheering. Honestly, it was beautiful, but I would've liked it more had Drew actually tried. I could tell he didn't even care, which shocked me.
They left, leaving me to worry about the battle rounds. It didn't seem like it would be good. I'm afraid something will happen.
"Drew didn't seem like he wanted to try." Misty mumbled. So I'm not the only one who noticed that? "Now I'm worried about the battle rounds.." Ash said, looking at us. I nodded in agreement. I looked at Leaf, wanting to know how she felt about it. She stayed motionless, staring at the field. I wonder what is going through her mind right now. "Well, their battle is suppose to be the second one, so we'll just have to see how they act."
I didn't like the sound of that. So much could happen during the waiting time. An argument, quitting. Hopefully nothing is going on now. I bit my lip, Piplup noticing my nervousness. "Piplup.." I forced a smile on my face, not wanting to worry my Pokémon. Maybe we shouldn't have put them on the same team. I feel like something bad is going to happen. Leaf's Pichu came over to Piplup, the both of them looking worried. Did they sense something? I saw Leaf's red eyes scanning the field. Did she notice something?
I'm getting even more worried and nervous by the second. What f something happens? "Next up! May and Drew vs Joe and Dan!" I paid attention, seeing the two of them walk onto the field, looking angry. Oh no, please don't tell me..
Drew's Pov
I can't believe I have to work with her. I don't want to be near her at all. She ruined everything for me, and is always telling me stuff that isn't true. I threw out Flygon, her Glaceon landing on the floor gracefully. The opponent sent out a Golduck and Ariados. How they got in with that I'll never know. "Ariados, string shot!" Joe, I believe, yelled. The move wrapped around Glaceon's leg, pulling her closer to the enemy. "Flygon, Steel Wing!" I watched Flygon cut the string with ease, slamming into the spider Pokémon. "Golduck, Surf." The Pokémon summoned a huge wave, heading straight for our Pokémon.
"Glaceon, Ice Beam the Surf!" The move froze the huge tidal wave, Golduck trying to break free. Its leg was stuck, thanks to the Ice Beam. "Flygon, Sandstorm!" May glared at me, "Why use Sandstorm at a time like this?!" Oh shut up, I can do what I want. "It'll damage the opponent once in a while, or did you not know that?" She bit her lip, glaring more. "Glaceon! Use Dig!" The Pokémon went underground.
"Golduck, Psychic!" The move hit Flygon, my Pokémon slamming into the ground hard. Glaceon cried out in pain, jumping out from the ground. She managed to slam the Golduck with an Iron Tail though. "Drew! Are you trying to make us lose?!" She yelled angrily. I could notice our friends looking at us, worried looks on some of their faces. "Flygon, Flamethrower!" The move hit the Ariados, burning the bug Pokémon badly. Glaceon landed on Flygon's back, both powering up. "Flygon, Steel Wing!" Glaceon hit Flygon's wing with an Ice Beam, coating one with ice. He slammed into the Ariados, knocking it out.
"A combination of Ice Beam and Steel Wing by May and Drew!" The crowd cheered madly as Flygon flew into the air, Glaceon still on his back. "Flygon, Dragon Breath!" He spiraled down, releasing the attack on Golduck. "Golduck, dodge then use Hydro Pump!" Flygon was slammed into the ground by the powerful water attack, the force crushing Glaceon.
"Glaceon! Are you okay?!" Flygon quickly got up, looking at the ice type worriedly. "Glace.." Not my fault she was stupid enough to let her Pokémon stay on Flygon. "Flygon, Steel Wing." He glared at me for a split second, before smashing into the water type Pokémon. "Stupid Drew.." May muttered. "How am I stupid?! I'm not the one letting my Pokémon stay on Flygon!" She glared, coming close to my face. "You need to stop fretting over Brianna and worry more about the team!" I shoved her away.
She staggered back, staring in shock before shoving me back. "Um... May and Drew?" The crowd chattered quietly, but I didn't care. "Flygon, Steel Wing on Glaceon and Golduck!" The move hit, slamming both Pokémon at once. "What the?!" May cried, staring at me in shock. Golduck had fainted, but the trainers were just watching the dispute going on between me and May. "Stop hurting my Pokémon! We are a team you idiot!" She yelled. I glared, "I don't want to be on a team with you, I hate you." I spat.
I ordered Flygon to use Flamethrower, but he wouldn't listen. Glaceon was growling at me, standing in front of her trainer protectively. "Flygon, use Flamethrower NOW!" I yelled. He flinched, hesitantly using it on the Glaceon. It cried out, weakly standing up and staring in shock at Flygon. Absol came out, standing in front of Glaceon protectively. "Ab! Absol Ab sol!" He snarled at me. Flygon looked guilty, trying to apologize over and over, even though Glaceon seemed to have accepted it already.
I glared at Absol, looking at May. She picked up Glaceon, who hissed in pain from a burn mark. She glared more, before sending out her Blaziken. "Blaze Kick him!" My eyes widened sightly as the Pokémon jumped in the air, heading straight for me. Flygon quickly used Steel Wing, pushing back Blaziken. "Fly fly!" He reasoned. Blaziken glared, obviously angry. I stared at May, narrowing my eyes. My blood boiled, and I spat at her, "Trying to kill me?! You freak! I hate you-" She slapped me. The crowd gasped, Prof Oak and Daisy rushing forward to stop us. "Okay okay calm down!"
Prof Oak pulled May away, the brunette fighting him. Daisy pulled my jacket lightly, and I was about to follow when May kicked me. I yelped, eyes widening before I shoved Daisy away.
Daisy fell yelping in surprise. I could see my friends getting up, running down the stairs. "Let go of me!" She shrieked, trying to reach for me. I was about to kick her as well when I was slammed to the floor, a pissed off Gary glaring at me. "Stop. Don't even try to hit May. You hurt my sister as well, you little bastard." He seethed. My eyes widened slightly, seeing Daisy trying to stand up. He glared angrily, being pulled off my Misty. "Both of you stop right now!" She yelled, shutting the stadium up.
"B-Blaziken! Blaze Kick once more!" "Flygon, Steel Wing!" Both Pokémon launched at us, Blaziken aiming for me while Flygon hesitantly aimed for May. A huge shadow appeared, followed by Blaziken being pushed to the floor and Flygon being held by the neck. I stared at Leaf's Charizard, who slowly dug her teeth into Flygon's neck. Gary's Blastoise was standing on Blaziken, aiming his canons at the Pokemon's face. "I SAID STOP!" Misty yelled angrily. Her voice echoed throughout the stadium, everyone watching.
"First, you attack May! Then, you both shove like three-year olds, as well as try to kill each other with Pokémon moves? Forcing your Pokémon to attack a human?! What is wrong with you?!" Ash yelled, furious. "Well is she wouldn't stop whining and annoying me, I wouldn't have done that!" I yelled back. May glared, "If I remember correctly, I was trying to form plans and everything! YOU WERE THE ONE GETTING MAD AND ATTACKING!" She screamed. I glared, about to say something when Ash shoved us both away. "I don't care who did what! You both did something wrong in the end, and because of that, we lose points. Are you happy? You also hurt Daisy, and tried to kill each other." He snarled, glaring at the both of us. I looked at Gary's sister, the girl rubbing her sore ankle while Gary helped her up. He glared at me, a sinister look in his eyes.
I felt somewhat guilty now, and I was about to apologize. Gary suddenly surged forward, his fist connecting with my nose. "That is what you get for hurting my sister." I held my nose, the blood dripping from it. He helped his sister out of the stadium, taking her to the Pokémon Center. Paul shook his head at me, Gary's Blastoise powering up his canons. "The both of you should feel really ashamed right now." Dawn said, glaring at the both of us. Glaceon whimpered in pain a Leaf sprayed a Burn Heal on it.
Flygon seemed weak, Charizard's jaws tightening slowly. It worried me, but I couldn't do a thing about it. They were to high up in the sky, and none of my Pokémon would be able to save it from that monster's jaws. May looked down at the floor, trembling slightly, "I'm sorry.." She said weakly. She took Glaceon from Leaf, returning Blaziken and running away from us. They looked at me expectantly. "I did nothi-" Dawn snarled, shocking us. "NOTHING? YOU'VE BEEN TREATING MAY LIKE SHIT ALL WEEK! YOU TRIED TO KILL HER AND HER GLACEON AND YOU HURT GARY'S SISTER! YOU DID A WHOLE LOT YOU SHOULD BE APOLOGIZING FOR!" She shrieked. I frowned.
Fine, so I did do that stuff. I feel guilty, but I can't just apologize! That would ruin everything! I don't apologize, people apologize to me. "Look, you will apologize. No one likes an arrogant prick like you. We are supposed to be a team, and we can't be one if you are going to try to ruin everything. Apologize, now." She finished. I sighed, looking at my Pokémon. Flygon looked scared, as if he were going to die any second. Absol looked as if he hated me, which hurt a little. "I... I'm sorry.." They nodded, smiling slightly.
Leaf's Charizard let go, and luckily the girl didn't order for it to deliver the finishing blow. I returned my Pokémon, about to walk away. "You need to apologize to May and Daisy as well. First however, go get your nose checked. I think Gary broke it.."
The pain was bad. I felt like crying. Though I won't because that is for the weak.
I walked towards the Pokémon Center, a sigh escaping my lips as I walked in. Nurse Joy looked up, a shocked look on her face. "Oh my! Did you break your nose?!" She rushed me into a room, checking my nose frantically. She sighed in relief, "Just somewhat bruised and beaten.." She muttered. She managed to stop the bleeding, giving me a napkin. I put it in my nose, groaning tiredly. "D-did May come by at all? Daisy and Gary?" She nodded. "May left not to long ago, though her Pokémon had to stay here. Gary and Daisy left as well." Damn, fine. I'll have to go look for them. I stayed for a few more minutes, before finally leaving.
Time to go on a hunt to find them..
May's Pov
I didn't want to be around anyone right now. I'm ashamed of what I did. I didn't want to treat anyone like that, but I got so angry. Drew probably hates me even more now. Daisy must dislike me and Gary must want to murder the both of us. I know I didn't hurt Daisy, but I provoked him to shove her, which I feel guilty for. I bit my lip, trying not to cry. Skitty rubbed against my arm, mewing worriedly. Glaceon is in the Pokémon Center, because the Burn Heal wasn't enough. She could have fatal injuries, which worries me. I hope she is okay.
There was a knock on my door, but I ignored it. I didn't want to deal with anyone right now. The person kept knocking, the sound annoying me. I quickly got up, ditching the idea of ignoring it. I opened the door, eyes widening slightly as I saw Drew standing there. He stared at me, a guilty look in his eye. "H-hey.." He muttered lamely. I stared more, before noticing the rose in his hand. "I wanted to apologize, for everythi-" I cut him off.
"You are only doing this because Ash and the others forced you to." I grabbed the rose, crushing it and throwing it into the trash can next to me. "I don't want your apology if its forced." He stared in shock, before frowning. "I really am sorry! Why don't you believe me?" Why? Because I can tell you are forcing yourself to do this. Your posture said it all to me. "You look annoyed. You seem like you want to rush out of here and never come back." I growled. Skitty stood next to me protectively, glaring at Drew.
"I really am sorry! Just accept my apology! We ruined everything during the battle, and the perfect score of fifty we had been taken down and replaced with a forty. We lost ten points because of everything we did!" I didn't know that. It may seem like a little, but it isn't. Every point counts if we want to win. I sighed, about to respond when he was pushed away. "Drew doesn't have to apologize to you!" Brianna yelled angrily, Veronica smirking.
Really? Of all times, now they come?
I glared at the hideous girls, biting my lip. I wanted to hurt them so badly. "You were the one who started it all May! You and your stupid friends need to stop forcing Drew to do things!" Drew was staring in shock, trying to get a word in. They didn't let him though, "Your friend deserved it to! If you are going to bother Drew, then we'll post the video of Dawn being humiliated to the school's website for EVERYONE to see!" Something inside of me snapped.
I grabbed the small girl, slamming her head into the wall. I could hear Drew yelling for me to stop, but I wouldn't. She has been verbally abusing me and threatening me for far to long. Veronica tried to attack me, but she was slammed against the railing by someone familiar. Misty. My close friend pulled me off of Brianna, before lifting the girl up. "You listen here, you little slut. I won't tolerate anything from you. You get your dirty self out of here."
Brianna tried to fight back, but Misty slowly started to pull her hair, a smirk forming. "I won't let you post that video of Dawn at all. If you do, I'll ruin your life. I have to evidence and everything of you and your little followers setting up the prank, and I'll happily put it on the school's website." She paled, trembling in fear. I smirked cruelly, watching Misty drop her. "Now leave, before I really hurt you." The girls fled, Misty looking at me. "Are you okay?" I nodded, Drew slowly coming out of his shocked state.
"What the..?" Misty glared, "You better apologize. The apology better be sincere, you need to apologize to May. She didn't deserve any of this. She apologized in front of everyone in the stadium, which was certainly hard for her. You only have to apologize to her alone." She turned, leaving.
I have the most amazing friends ever...
I felt a tear leave my eye as Misty left, a small smile forming. "I'm sorry, I really am.." Drew said, looking at me with guilt. I nodded. I could tell he was sincere, he looked like he was at least. "I'm sorry for treating you bad like that, and telling you what to do. Please forgive me?" He nodded, a small smile threatening to form, "I'm sorry for trying to kill you.." He trailed off. I giggled lightly, smiling at my rival. "So... Friends?" He looked surprised. "Y-you really forgive me? For everything? Just like that?" I nodded. "I'm sure you really are sincere and trying to fix everything. Hopefully, everything we did wrong will go away." He nodded, smiling.
"We'll work to get those ten points back for our team, got it?" He said. I nodded, both of us smiling at each other. "Why don't you two just kiss already~" Dawn's voice reached my ears. I turned, my face heating. "W-what?! NO!" We both yelled, looking at each other. We laughed, while Dawn and Paul stood there, amused.
Hopefully, everything will now go back to normal..
There :D Hope you guys enjoyed it!
