May's Pov (September 25th)

Today has been weird. Like really weird.

Drew has followed me around everywhere, and Brendan has been following me as well. Were they finally friends? I don't know. It was kind of annoying though, because they kept glaring at each other. What was going on? "Hey May, why don't we go practice for the next battle?" You aren't even in the next battle, it is me and Dawn together for the next battle. "May, why don't we go and have a fun battle?" I don't like to battle much unless its contests..

I turned around to face them, shaking my head. "I don't know what is up with you two, but please, don't drag me into this." With that said, I left, hearing them argue behind me. What is up with them? "Looks like you have two boys fighting over you~" Dawn suddenly appeared out of nowhere, smiling. I blushed, glaring, "No. They are just being stupid." She shook her head, opening the door for us. "You sure about that? Think it over May, obviously they are fighting each other for you. The question is why?" She answered, smiling as she headed up the stairs.

I followed, thinking about it. Why are they fighting for me? Friendship? Or love? I blushed at that last thought. I doubt that, and I only see Brendan as a friend. What do I see Drew as though? Most likely a friend, right? There goes my emotions getting the best of me. Dawn giggled as I walked next to her, the both of us heading into the coordinator class. We took seats next to each other, the bluenette turning to look at me. "I'm thinking you like Drew as more than a friend." I shook my head, the blush forming on my face despite my attempt to stop it.

"D-Dawn, I only see him as a friend!" She giggled, turning back to look at the board, "If you say so. Now, moving on to important things like contests, what appeal will we be doing?" I shrugged. "I don't know who to use. I was thinking of using Skitty, because she needs some training as well." Dawn nodded, thinking. "I'll use Pachirisu, she needs some time out of her pokeball and a good contest as well." I nodded. So, we agreed to use Pachirisu and Skitty, but what moves could they use?

"I guess I'll risk it with Assist, huh?" I murmured. She frowned, shaking her head. "No, don't you have any other moves..?" Oh yeah! "Blizzard." Dawn smiled, nodding. "We could make something work. I'll think of moves that would go with that extremely well." I nodded. We could use Assist though, if needed. I smiled as the instructor came in, and the class paid attention. For the most part, "Hey May, I was thinking of a combination of Blizzard and Spark." I nodded, imagining what that move would look like.

It looked pretty good, but would it be enough to impress?

Dawn nodded reassuringly to herself, sighing. "I'm sure everything would go okay, we'd pass and make our team win. Speaking of points and all, you and Drew still trying to find a way to get those points back?" I nodded, sighing. I looked out the window, seeing a Charizard flying high in the sky, probably Leaf's. I looked back at Dawn, seeing her thinking hard about something. "Did you and Drew try to help the officials out? Maybe that will get your points back." I guess we could try that.

The bell suddenly rang, and I remembered how fast this class is. Dawn smiled, leading me out of the room, "We can go find something for you two to help with." I nodded, following my best friend. We passed Misty and Ash, who didn't seem to notice us. They were arguing about something though.

"They would make such an amazing couple, don't you think?" Dawn said, sighing happily. I nodded, keeping my distance. I don't want to get in the middle of Misty's wrath. Poor Ash. We walked inside the building, Dawn walking up to the desk. "Hello, I would like to know.." I ignored what Dawn was saying, noticing two boys behind us.

Drew and Brendan.

"Really?! You are still following me?!" I exclaimed, attracting the attention of everyone in the room. Drew and Brendan glared at each other, before looking at me. "He is trying to get close to you!" Brendan whined, "He is saying I shouldn't be friends with you!" Drew growled. I shook my head, pushing them apart. "Brendan, I can be friends with him." Drew smirked victoriously, "Drew, Brendan is just a worrying friend." His smirk faded. Both boys started arguing once more, Dawn recording it.

"The battle for May's heart begins! Who will win? The ladies man Drew Hayden, or the caring Brendan Birch?" Dawn announced. My eye twitched, and I quickly grabbed her pokegear. "STOP RECORDING THIS!" I shrieked. She smiled nervously, before turning back around. "Please tell me you got that on camera." Wait what? I looked at the pokegear in my hand, noticing that it was mine. How did she get it?! The receptionist handed Dawn her pink pokegear, the evil girl saving the video.

"I shall send this to everyone else." Which she did, since my phone vibrated and the video appeared. She smiled at me, skipping away. How dare she record everything! I glared at Drew and Brendan, the boys smiling nervously. "Oops..?" Brendan said meekly. I grabbed his white hat, ripping it off. He frantically tried to cover his brown hair, glaring at me. Drew snickered. "Your hair is weird looking.." He glared darkly at Drew, snatching the hat back. I grabbed Drew, pulling his hair. "OW!" he cried.

That is what they both get! Making a fool out of me, and letting Dawn record everything that had went on now.

Dawn's Pov

That was amazing. Drew vs Brendan for May's heart~ I got it all on camera as well. I watched it over and over, a smile forming on my face. I loved it! Who would win the battle? I hope its Drew because Brendan isn't good enough for May. Yeah they are childhood friends, and they have a history together, but Drew and May would make a better couple.

I skipped all the way to Paul, who raised an eyebrow. "Why did you send me that video?" He grumbled. I rolled my eyes, sitting down next to him, "It was romance. Paul, you need to be happy for your friends." I stated simply, while he turned the page to the book. "No thanks. Leave." I frowned, feeling somewhat hurt by what he had said, "Why are you so cold to me?" He looked surprised by what I asked, but answered anyways. "You are annoying. Isn't it obvious that I don't want to be bothered by you?" That hurt my feelings somewhat. I thought we were getting along pretty well..

"Well then, you could have just said something!" He grunted in annoyance, glaring lightly. "Yeah, but then I don't want to talk to you. I said, you annoy me. Go bother someone else, someone who will actually care. I doubt anyone will though, because you annoy all of us." He sneered. I frowned, my heart hurting by what he had said. "Fine then, I'll leave you alone." I turned on my heel, walking as fast as I could to my room. "Dawn? Dawn! Are you okay?!" Lucas had run up to me, eyes wide in worry.

I hugged him tightly, sniffling. "My feelings were just hurt, I'm sorry.." He chuckled, "You always were one to get hurt easily, when it came to feelings, that is." He comforted me, sighing.

"What happened?" I wiped away a tear, glaring at the benches in the far distance. "M-My friend.. No, some guy said that all I do is annoy people, that no one likes me." Lucas rolled his eyes, glaring lightly at the benches. "Ignore that person, they obviously don't know what they just lost." I felt a smile tug on my lips, and I hugged my childhood friend once more. "I'll try to ignore them, thanks Lucas for the hugs." He chuckled, ruffling my hair.

"Don't worry Dawn, I'm always here for you." He walked me back to my room, and left once I was in the safety of the dorms. I sighed, sliding down the wall and pulling my knees close. Why did Paul have to be so mean? I thought we were getting somewhere in our relationship. I thought he actually cared. Heck, I'll admit I was even starting to develop a little crush, but that flew out the window once he said that to me. Now, all he is to me is a stranger. I want nothing to do with him.

There was a knock on the door, followed by May. "Dawn, when I get my hands on you... What happened?" She muttered, noticing me curled up. I sighed, shrugging. "Paul hurt my feelings. Said some things like I talk to much, I annoy him, and that no one likes me." I mumbled. She rolled her eyes, sitting down on the floor next to me. "As childish as that sounds, I know how you feel. When Drew teases me all the time, it hurts my feelings.." She explained. "Just ignore him then, he'll see what he did wrong." I nodded. I hope he notices how much he hurt me. "I don't exactly take things well, do I?" She smiled softly.

"Everyone handles things differently Dawn. Everyone is sensitive as well. You are just really sensitive and he didn't have to say that stuff." She finished, smiling reassuringly at me. "I hope he apologizes, though that is a low chance now. He is so mean, and I can't believe he would say that stuff.." I muttered, wiping away a tear. May hugged me, waiting till I calmed down.

"He obviously cares for you though."

My head shot up as I looked at May. She smiled softly at me, continuing with what she was saying. "He obviously does care. He went out of his way to form a plan so that you wouldn't be made fun of no more. He also stood by your side so you could enjoy your day." She got up, turning the TV on, "He cares Dawn. People have a funny way of showing it sometimes.." Wise, wise May. I smiled, getting up and joining her. "Maybe you are right, though I kind of forced him to stay by my side sometimes." She stopped me from talking, "Sure, you forced him. He had a choice of going or leaving anytime he wanted though, and he stayed with you. He cares, trust me."

Maybe she is right. Maybe Paul actually does care, and he just has a funny way of showing it. Hopefully he apologizes though, because he still hurt my feelings. Piplup raged on and on about something, and I'm pretty sure it's about beating up Paul. I stifled a giggle at his mad face, looking at the TV. "Trust me Dawn, I'm sure he cares. He'll come around and apologize, though it may take a while." I nodded, deciding to trust May on this one. She would know a lot about this, wouldn't she? She deals with teasing and hurtful words from Drew all the time. Like May said, everything will get better.

Paul will apologize, and maybe we can be friends again, maybe. He has a funny way of showing he cares though, and he needs to be more happy, but I can deal with that. "I think he may like you Dawn." That made me freeze. Paul liking me? No, that couldn't be right. I doubt he liked me at all. Sure, I had a small crush, but now I don't really know..

Misty's Pov

Ash can be really annoying at times.

He tried to take my food when I woke up. Now, he is trying to take my money to go get food. How much can he eat?! He smiled at me, clasping his hands together. "Please, oh great and powerful Misty, buy me food!" No. I walked off, Ash following close behind. "Come on! I called you a goddess, and so many other good things I would never say to you!" I stopped, Ash finally realizing what he had said wrong. Pikachu and Azurill jumped away, watching from a safe distance. "Ash Ketchum, I'll destroy you." I pulled my mallet out from thin air, slamming him in the face with it.

"My jaw! Ouch Misty stop!" He held his mouth, trembling in fear as I raised the mallet. Gary ran by, grabbing him and running off. "Hurry Ash! This is the only time I'm saving you!" I could see Ash stumble to stand, trying to run. Leaf stood next to me, and we both came to a silent agreement.

Kill Gary and Ash.

I noticed she didn't have her hat on, and I guessed Gary had taken it, which is why Leaf wants to kill him. We split up, Leaf heading the secret way while I went the way they did. I could see them ahead of me, trying to catch their breath. Ash frantically pointed to me and they ran away once more. Fortunately for me, I could see Leaf gaining speed, running down the path that would put her ahead of them. I smirked, forcing myself to run faster. I was closely behind them, Ash crying like a baby. "We are going to die Gary!" He yelled, trying to catch up to his friend.

Gary looked behind him, eyes widening as he saw me. "Ash, I never got to say this, but now is the right time!" He pushed himself to run faster, "Remember the old and rare Pokémon card you got from your mom?!" Ash nodded, looking at me in fear as I caught up. "I stole it and ripped it apart!" Ash's eyes widened. "WHY?!" He cried, both boys trying to run faster.

I rolled my eyes at their dramatic scene, throwing my mallet. At the same time, Leaf jumped out, colliding with Gary. Ash was hit with the mallet, the boy tumbling to the ground. Gary and Leaf hit the ground hard, Gary rubbing his back in pain. "Why do you hit like a train.." He weakly coughed as Leaf took her hat back, placing it on top of her head. I brushed my hands off, picking up my mallet and putting it away.

"That is what you boys get." I high-fived Leaf, while Gary stood up and glared. "Leaf, that wasn't right. To think my childhood friend would have my back, only to be tackled by her." He shook his head in disappointment, smiling secretly. Ash started laughing like a maniac, making us all look at him in confusion. "The height difference between Gary and Leaf! HAHAHA-Ow!" Gary kicked him in the stomach, and I just noticed the height difference.

Gary had to look down at Leaf, and I couldn't help but giggle. "W-well, at least I'm not the height of Misty!" Gary sneered. I slammed him in the head with my mallet, Ash snickering. I looked at Leaf, who was standing next to me. At least we got our revenge. Gary grabbed Leaf's hand, dragging her somewhere. "W-wait! You are leaving me with the devil itself?!" Ash cried. I wanted to hit him once more, but I let it slide. For now. "Sorry Ash! I'm taking Leaf out!" Oh~ A date? I could see Leaf slam him in the head.

Poor boys being abused. Oh well.

Ash smiled at me, "Hey Mist! That reminds me! Want to go out?" I nearly choked. His eyes widened as he realized what he said, a blush forming on his face. "N-n-no! I meant as f-friends!" He cried. I felt somewhat disappointed for some reason, and I forced myself to nod. "S-sure Ash, I would love to go out as friends.." Why did I feel so disappointed?! He smiled in relief, the awkward atmosphere going away. "Great! So, I'll pick you up tomorrow?"

I nodded, watching him cheer. "I have all day to think of places to take you! Yes!" I stifled a giggle, watching our Pokémon catch up to us. "Pika pi!" Pikachu said angrily, shocking Ash. "I'm sorry! For whatever I did!" He ran off, Pikachu chasing after him angrily. "Azurill azu?" I smiled down at Azurill, picking her up. "I'm sorry Azurill, Ash had asked me to go out on a date with him, but he meant friends. I don't know why I feel disappointed.." Azurill smiled knowingly, comforting me.

"Azur! Azu Azurill!" I hugged her tightly, watching Ash disappear into the crowd. Why did I feel so disappointed though? I only liked him as a friend, right? I could see someone heading towards me, and I immediately headed the other way. "Wait Misty! Don't leave so fast!" Rudy cried. I glared, "What do you want?!" He frowned, "Why were you talking to Ash?!" He cried. I had no time for this, "I'm going on a date with him tomorrow. I can do what I want." I shouldn't have said that. Rudy glared darkly at me, walking off. "We'll see about that Misty! I will have your heart!" He called angrily.

I don't know about that Rudy. I don't like you that way, only as a friend. I won't let you ruin anything Rudy, because tomorrow is the day I'll get to spend time with Ash. I don't want anything ruining this at all. I sent a glare at him, to which he smiled. "You'll see Misty, you'll realize who you should really be with! Which is me!" I'll realize how much of an annoying person you are.

I really hope nothing will ruin this...

Leaf's Pov

Gary dragged me towards the mall, humming a song like an idiot. I felt like glaring at his hand, which I did. "You know Leaf, its nice to see you showing emotion. It makes me remember the past.."

I didn't want to remember anything, but him bringing that stuff up just made memories hit me hard. I shook my head, Espeon looking at me worriedly. Pichu was underneath my hat, probably sleeping peacefully. Espeon and Umbreon seemed to be getting along, though it may just be that Espeon doesn't want to be rude.

Gary dragged me towards some store, smiling like an idiot. "Remember we used to make custom pokeballs? How about we do that again, like old times?" He looked at me, waiting for a response. I slowly got off the floor, my back hurting from being dragged like that. I looked at the capsules, seeing them waiting to be made.

I grabbed the top of the capsule, Gary cheering as he grabbed one. He started painting it with weird colors. I looked, raising a brow. "Blue is still your favorite color, right? I still love the color green~" I could see him painting one half of the pokeball green, and the other blue. I forced my smile down. I don't like smiling all the time now, it makes me feel like a weakling. Gary started laughing, a smile on his face as he looked at me.

"Are you really trying to hold your smile down? Come on Leaf, it isn't a bad thing to smile!" He said, rolling his eyes as he finished painting the top. I finished the top. I had put the colors of green and blue on it, which I didn't even notice until now. I also had written my name on the blue side and Gary's on the green side. This is embarrassing. He took the top, his smile growing. I feel so embarrassed right now. "How nice Leaf~ I love it." He stated, handing it back.

We grabbed the bottom parts of the pokeball, snapping them onto the top. He laughed as I stumbled to grab a sticker. "Which sticker are you using?" He asked. I showed him the one in my hand, which was a Charmander. He showed me a Squirtle, a smirk forming on his face.

"I remember we did this before, and I had chosen the same sticker. This is just like when we were younger, except there is no Ash covered in yellow paint." He laughed at that, while I nodded. It was just like when we were younger. He looked at me, seeming to know something that I didn't. We went to the register, and he paid for both of the custom pokeballs we had made. "So, I don't even know if I'm going to use mine." He said, looking at it. I looked at mine, shrugging.

"Nothing to really use them for. So, I guess I'll keep it as another memory of us." I looked at him, before looking at my pokeball. I guess I'll keep it as a memory as well then. A memory of when I had decided to tolerate Gary. He smiled, putting his away. He has been smiling a lot lately, I wonder why. We headed back towards the dorms, seeing Drew and Brendan fighting. The video Dawn had sent me earlier was somewhat weird. Why are they fighting over May?

Doesn't Brendan realize she doesn't like him like that?

Drew saw us, and immediately grabbed Gary. "Gary, help this idiot understand that May would never like him!" Gary looked lost, trying to get himself out of the situation. He sent me a pleading look, and I forced myself to help him. I walked towards Drew and Brendan, grabbing Gary. "Hey! Give him back! He needs to help me with this idiot!" Drew whined. I ignored him, dragging Gary towards the dorms. "Y-you know, you can let me go now.." No, this is payback for when you dragged me.

He whined in pain as I dragged him up the hill, the rocks digging into his skin. "Y-you.. You are enjoying this?!" He cried ou dramatically. I nodded, pulling him up. He sighed in relief as we finally made it to the dorms. "My back has been abused so much, please have mercy on me!" He cried. I shoved him inside the dorms, boys and some girls looking in confusion.

"Leaf.. its kind of late you know. No girls are allowed in here at this time.." He said, looking embarrassed. I saw girls glaring, obviously mad that I was with Gary. I don't care. I turned on my heel, about to leave when he grabbed my hand. "Wait, I need to talk to you about something." I looked at him as he nervously rubbed his head. "Well.. uh.." I could see how nervous he was. What is so important that he is nervous?

"Okay, I want to take you out.." His eyes widened, before he immediately fixed his words, "I-I mean as friends, of course! Not tomorrow, but soon. It'll be extremely worth it! Maybe after tomorrow? Y-you don't have to come if you don't want to but um.." Is he asking me out? My heart beat increased a little, but I dismissed it. "So, what do you say..?" A hang out, but just us is what he is asking, right? I guess I'll do it. I nodded, seeing his eyes practically shine happily. "Yes! Great! I'll make sure to pick you up the day after tomorrow! It'll be a date then!" He ran up the stairs happily, making me shake my head.

So, hanging out together, huh? I left the building, walking back to my dorm. I guess it wouldn't be so bad. Maybe he'll apologize there as well. It could be fun, I guess. Not much to do on this island though. Wait I just noticed something. I stared at the sky, my eyes widening.

Did he call it a date?!

There is chapter 14 xD Hope you guys enjoyed each girl's Pov! :D

-Pichu!
