Hi! Okay so I've kinda desided that Paul will say the ocasonal Curse word. I normally wouldn't do a warning but you know Just in case someone isn't comfertable with cursing, I apologise. You can tell me in comments. Also, we lost homecomming game, if any one was curious. Although I have to say I looked Awesome for the dance! Any way On to the story!

Drew's POV

As this man takes me into his house, I keep thinking, I know you! Where do I know you from? But I just couldn't place him.

"So, Drewry is it?" The young man asked me with a smirk.

"No, its Drew! Not Drewry!" I could feel my face go red as he laughed. He placed his frying pan on the living room table and signaled me to sit down. "And I'm going to be the Top Co-ordenateer!" I decaired as I plopped down onto his couch.

"Ah. I thought I reconized you. My little sister wants to be a Co-ordernateer when she gets old enough. I'm Brock Slate, Pewter city gym leader." 'Ah! Maby thats where I reconize him from! Then he asks, " Are you hungry?" As I was about to say 'No' but before I could my stomache ansered for me with a big 'Grrroww.' I smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry 'bout that." I apologized. "Yeah, I'm kinda hungry if you don't mind."

"No problum. I'll just heat up what we had for dinner." He tells me as he gets up. "I hope you don't mind if you have to sleep on the couch. Its a tight but I think you can manage." He tells me as a little girl (who looks startlingly like brock) comes in, draging a stuffed Onix with her.

"Brock, I'm thirsty, can you get me some..." She stopped her sentance short as she layed her eyes on Me. We sat there in an acward scilence until Brock came back in with mango flafvored water.

"Sally. This is Drew Hayden. We were talking about you earler. Drew, this is Sally. She wants to be a Co-ordenater like you. Brock said, introducing us. I figure she's the one who wants to be a Co-ordenater when she grows up.

"Well, then," I say as I stand up. I then bow down, pulling out a rose and saying,"For you." Sally gasped, clearly delighted. I stratened back up.

"But what about May?" She asked me. I was caught of gaurd. May? Why is this little girl thinking about that. Its true, that was the rose I was going to give May tomorrow, but then she was pushed out of a window to her death. But I can't let a little girl know that one of her hero's was dead. "Isn;t that rose for may?" she asked again, jolting me out of my stupor

"I know she wouldn't mind you had it, instead." I smile at her then Brock says, "Sally, What do you say to Mr. Drew for the rose?"

"Thank you ." She says, still captivated by the rose. I laugh.

"Don't call me Mr. Drew. Just Don't."

Ash's POV

Of course I didn't think sneeking out of the hospital would be a piece of cake. There had been gards posted around my room scince Team Rocket busted in and all but at least Tracey had a plan. What we were gonna do is this. First Tracey was going to take me for a "Walk" around the garden then we gonna run. The plan could have gone wrong any where. But It didn't. Not at the gards, not at my mom. No where. Well at least, not untill we ran into Gary.

"Hey, Ashy-boy! Trace! Why you goin' this way? The garden's that way." He told us, blocking our exit.

"Oh, It is?" I said sheepishly rubbing the back of my neck. "Thanks for telling us!" We stood there in scilence before Tracey finally said,"Well we'd better get going! Nice to run into you like this. By!" We turned around and walked off. I guess we looked too guilty though cause soon enough we heard footsteps following us and Gary calling, "Ashy Boy! Wait up!" We waited in scilence until Gary caught up.

"I know that your up to something, and I want to help. Red and Kasumi are my friends too, and I want to help her out. They were kidnapped,too right?" I looked at him with new admiaration. He really was doing somthing for his friends, not for himself.

"Okay! Let's go!" We were well on our way before Gary asked,"Where, exactly are we going?"

"Yeah,Uh," Tracey agreed,"Where Are we going, Ash?"

"I don't know, You wanna' ask around, see if any ones seen Team Rocket?" I offered. The two looked at each other before Gary replied,

"Sounds like a plan, Ashy- boy." and we were on our way.

Drew's P.O.V

When I woke up, I heard the door bell to the house ring. My first thought was Its Paul.. He's gonna KILL ME! So I dug under the covers Brock had layed out for me trying to hide. I heard Brock open the door and I heard an unfamiler voice that sounded like a kid with a stuffed nose say' "Hi! I'm Ash Ketchum and have you seen Team Rocket around?" Team Rocket? Why in the world would they be looking for them?

"Why are you looking for them?" I heard Brock ask.

"Well you see," A new voice cut in "Our friends Misty and Amber were kiddnapped. I'm Tracey, by the way." Wait. There friends had been kiddnapped by Team Rocket as well? I jumped up and ran to talk to them. I'm sure I look horrendis but these people could help us find Dawn! I Jumped up and ran to talk to them. I'm sure I look horrendis but these people could help us find Dawn! I run up to the door to see a trio of boys, and I almost fall back in suprise. I've met these boys. I just can't place where. But that dosn't I know is that they can help me and Paul.

"Hey, Drew." The youngest of the trio greeted him with a lop-sided grin. His Disheveled hair had looked like it had never been combed and he had lightning bolt birth marks under his eyes. He wore plain white sweat and a white tee shirt with a pokeball disign on it. He also wore red high tops.

"Hi," I pulled a random name from memory "Ash." The boy looked elated while the one in agreen shirt (his older brother, maby?) just looked sad while Professer Oak (The young one) just stood there. "Hey, you said you were looking for Team Rocket? Well me and my friend Paul are too. Maby we could surch together?" I offered my hand to shake. The short kid, Ash, happily shook mine.

"Okay Partner!" He replied, all smiles.I grin too. He's the exact opposite of Paul. I grined until I heard someone tall over me clear his trought.

"Sorry to interupt this beatuiful moment but, who's that Purple Haired kid coming up the walk?" Brock asked. Man I mentally face palmed. Its eather Paul or Harly... Wait, which ones worse? The anser to that question is, at the moment, Paul Shinji.

"DREW!" He yelled "WHY THE HECK DID YOU LEAVE ME IN THE WOODS BY MYSELF!" Paul was running at in-humane speeds as he ran up to me, lifting up his fist, knocking over the trio of people in the door and making Brock stand to the side.

"Well," I replied "If my memory surves me compleatly, you left me." I emphasized the words you and me and I add a little smirk for effect. That makes him lower his fist a little.

"Well... I didn't think you'd actually LEAVE ME!" He yelled, lifting his fist back to maximum hight. I rolled my eyes, smirk still on my face.

"Dude, While I was here, I found A few people who are in the same predicument as us. I thought they could help."

"Well, where are they?"

"Actually, you knocked them over on your way in." He turned his head to see Ash and Co. Dusting themselves off and I Laugh a Paul looks at them, Petrified, but then he regains his cold composer.

"They were in MY way! But if they can help us ind Dawn then I'll forgive them." He turned around and walked over to Ash. "Do we have a deal, kid?" he extended his hand.

"Sure thing, Paul." Ash replied as a serious look grassed his normally goofy face. it was a nice moment until Brock cut in.

"Hey, guys? Can I help you get back at Team Rocket? They make being a gym leader heck. I would love to take them down."

"No problem! But who's gonna take care of your brothers and sisters?" Ash asked. Just then Gary raised his hand.

"I'll do it. I got to stay here to research rock pokemon and how to keep them invincible. That solves two problems!" I smiled as I grabbed my bag and Brock grabbed his (He says he was always ready to run- so were his siblings. Team rocket always targeted gym leaders first.) And we were on our way once again.

Don't worry Dawn, I'll save you and May, I shall avenge your death!

Sorry this to my foreve and It's so short. But I hope You all will have a Prussan Thanksgiving. (Prussan= Awesome)
