Yes, just edit any mistakes you may find, I type on word pad and it doesn't have a spell checker. Well than here's a little spoiler for you too, in my next chapter, a Shuppet is going to be involved. Not telling how though, wouldn't want to spoil this next chapter!

Nicer than I thought that it would be. MiloticSoldier . . . did you just tell some of the peoples here about the stuff? Who cares. Yeah . . . after this long and tedious episode, May actually gets a Pokémon!
On topic: Yours = More developed story = Thumbs up Keep up the good work! The grammar stuff, you don't have to worry about them. I'll fix the thing up anyways. You type the up somewhere before you post them? I type them on the spot! Whatever works for you . . . err . . . works for you!
Just be careful if you're handing something in school.

That's one of the reasons it takes so long. Well, maybe it's not the system's fault. actually, because I use that, I never feel rushed, I know I can save and go back and add on later. That's why my more recent chapters have been longer, I use all my internet time to type up parts of these stories, and as you can imagine, that really adds up to make a nice long chapter. The beginning is already done for the next chapter, it's looking good, better than the last

Chapter 12 Shuppet the Peace Maker!
____________________________________________________
"May! How many times do I have to tell you! We always follow the Poke'Nav's directions, but you insisted we follow your's and now we're lost!" yelled Drew furiously.
"We're not lost! We just don't know where we are!" replied May.
"Same thing! Now that you've got us here, maybe you can get us out!"
"Use your Poke'Nav then! Or is that too hard for you!" shouted May.
May and Drew had been on their way to Solarzia Town, following Drew's directions, when May thought she knew a short cut. Following this new trail, May and Drew ended up lost in the middle of a large tundra.
"I think it would be too complicated for you to even know how to turn it on!" added May.
"Just shut up, I'm trying to get a signal! We're lost and it's your fault so you should be helping the most!" snapped Drew.
"What a jerk . . . "
"Out of range, well, the Poke'Nav can't help us."
"How convient," May said, purposly saying it loud enough for Drew to hear.
"This wouldn't be happening if you hadn't of gotten us lost in the first place!" Drew yelled.
Near by in a frozen bush, a Shuppet was watching the two argue. It suddenly glowed a bright red. Seconds later, May glowed the same red.
When the red faded away, Drew and May were quiet for a few seconds, then May exclaimed, "Oh Drew! I don't know why I was ever angry! Let's get us out of here!"
"Now what are you so happy about?! If you hadn't noticed already, We're still lost!"
The Shuppet disappeared and seconds later, re-appeared in front of Drew. It's purple body glowed red again, this time, it was Drew who was glowing red as well.
The red glow faded away and Drew grinned. "What a beautiful day! This is perfect for training Flygon!"
"But what kind of Pokemon is that?" May pulled out her Poke'Dex.
"Shuppet, the puppet Pokemon" Said the mechanical female voice. "Shuppet feed on strong human emotions such as anger and fear. It is said though, that Shuppet are very shy and prefer to watch strange creatures from a distance."
"This little one certainly isn't shy," Said May happily.
"Shup! Shup! Et!" Exclaimed the Pokemon. It then started to float away and Drew and May started to chase after it. It lead them to a large, old house that looked abandoned.
"What's a mansion doing here?" Said Drew.
"Quit asking stupid questions! Let's just go, it looks creepy!" Said May nervously.
"What wrong May? Scared that the ghosts are going to get you?"
"No . . . . "
"Well I would like to leave so we can try to get to Solarzia." informed Drew.
Shuppet smiled and floated up to a large oak and brass door. It opened by itself in Shuppet's presence.
"Uh yeah, this doesn't look good, come on Drew let's go."
"Come on May, maybe there's someone here who can tell us where to go" Drew was following Shuppet inside.
"Wait! I'm coming" May caught up to Drew. They both walked inside the old house, the door shutting by itself. May shivered.
"You're such a scaredy-Meowth May." smirked Drew.
Inside the creepy house, red,velvet furniture lie in different spots along the room. Cobwebs hung heavily over all off it, giving the effect the furniture was actually gray. A cold fireplace was carved into the wall close to an armchair. It was pretty dark except for small rays of sunshine creeping through the torn curtains draped over the window.
"Shuppet!" chimed the Pokemon.
"There you are!" exclaimed Drew.
"Drew . . . it's kinda dark in here" Said May quietly.
"Geez May! Just use your Pokemon!"Drew was getting very annoyed with May.
"Oh . . . yeah . . . . ok," Muttered May clutching a poke ball in her hand. "Help me out Delcatty, use your Flash!"
Out of her ball came Delcatty, who meowed happily before it sent out an explosion of bright light. "Thanks, now return," May softly returned her Pokémon..
Shuppet stared weakly at the light and disappeared.
"Nice job May, you scared it away."
"Why do you always have to make fun of me?! It was your stupid idea in the first place!" yelled May furiously. She stomped out of the room Drew and her had been in.
Drew was speechless for a few moments, but followed her. "May . . . . "He said sadly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May had found another room with couches and chairs and sat down on one. "That Drew . . . the nerve of him! Thinking he can just insult a girl like that!"
Then Shuppet reappeared, floating near May. It glowed a familar red color and May glowed the same.
"Thanks Shuppet! You made me feel so much better! You're not only cute, but very useful! Let's go find Drew!" said May, now feeling very happy.
Shuppet grinned and followed May as she retraced her steps out of the room. She eventually got back to the room that she left Drew in.
"Oh! Drew is gone, he must have went to look for me!" exclaimed May and started to head back down the hall to find Drew.
"Pet! Shup!" Shuppet suddenly whispered.
"You want me to stay here?" May asked, confused.
Shuppet nodded and disappeared again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Come on May, do you always have to make things difficult?" asked Drew to himself. Although he could not hide that he was feeling very guilty for making May feel so bad.
Then Shuppet appeared in front of Drew. "Shup! Et! Shup!" the Puppet Pokémon exclaimed. Then it glowed a blue this time, Drew did the same, and they disappeared.
A few seconds later, they both reappeared in front of May.
"Oh Shuppet! I should have known you'd think of something like that!" Cheered May.
"Oh hello May . . . . " Drew said in a low voice.
"Drew! I'm so sorry I yelled at you, thanks to Shuppet, I'm feeling pretty good!" explained May.
"Yeah, let's get out of here already, I don't want to waste any more time," stated Drew.
Shuppet looked sadly at the too before teleporting them just outside the door.
"Oh I'm sorry Shuppet, we have to go to the next town, but someday, we'll come back and visit! Right Drew?"
"Yeah sure . . . . "
"Well bye-bye Shuppet!" Said May as she waved to Shuppet and drug Drew along the snowy path.
"What the heck is wrong with you? Why didn't you say good-bye to Shuppet?" questioned May after dragging Drew a little farther down the path.
"I'm tired and getting a little impatient. I just want to get to the next contest!" snapped Drew. "Oh yeah, and we're still completely lost.
"Ugh, boys sometimes," May was grabbing Drew's Poke'Nav from his pocket.
"It's out of range remember?"
"That's not what I'm doing . . . "Muttered May. "Ah yes! Here it is, the Match Call!"
"Uh . . . Match Call?" Asked Drew.
"It's usually used to call people for battle, but it can be used to make regular calls" May explained while pressing a few buttons. Then she put the Poke'Nav up to her ear like a phone.
"Hello!" asked May. "Is this Steven?"
Drew couldn't hear the reply, but May still continued her conversation.
"So you're close? And you know the way to Solarzia Town!? Cool, then we'll meet you at that spot!" May was speaking on the phone; after that, she smiled as she hung up and gave Drew his Poke'Nav back.
"I called Steven and he says he'll meet us by the beginning of this Tundra," informed May. "Which happens to be right over there!"
It was true, the edge of the snowy forest was just a few feet away. There was Steven, his usual friendly smile. May and Drew happily greeted him and they walked down the normal forest's path, Steven promising to get them to Solarzia and their next contest . . . .

Chapter 13 Heated Battles in the Solarzia Contest! Grass and Fire Competetion! Drew and May stared eagerly at the large town that lie before them. It was quite an interesting looking city too, it seemed as if the sun was shining brighter than anywhere else! The city's marble buildings sparkled in the bright light. Solarzia Town was beautiful!
Drew seemed the most stunned though, but not because of the sunshine. A very large Solarzia Contest Hall stood straight ahead. It, like all the other buildings here, it was painted in bright colors and sparkled in the blazing sun.
"Wow Drew! You didn't mention how pretty this town was!" Exclaimed May, happily glancing around. "Or how big it was, there must be a millon malls here! We gotta go shopping!"
"Later May" Said Drew sharply. "We have to get to that Contest Hall and register remember?"
"I know that! I meant to say we'll shop later" Said May turning suddenly sour. May brightened a little after a quick glance at the sun. "But Drew..."
"Yeah?" Said Drew.
"If this contest is for fire and grass types, it's not really fair is it?" Said May.
"What are you talking about?" Said Drew, though not paying much attention anymore.
"If I entered my Blaziken, and you with your Treecko, I have a clear advantage!" Said May.
"Ugh May, of course you wouldn't know" Said Drew, raising a hand to flip his hair.
"Just say it Drew!" Said May, raising her voice a little.
Drew lowered his hand with a sigh. "You did notice didn't you? You see how bright the sun shines here? Well, it's no ordinary sun like the one that powers Solar Beam. That sun gives off special rays that really power up grass types, making them better than fire types. Oh and also, I won't be entering my Treecko."
"No way, I didn't know the sun could shine brighter in some places than others! Amazing! So then what are you going to enter?"Said May.
"You'll see" Said Drew with a smirk. "Let's go register"
May nodded and followed Drew as he eagerly walked towards the beautiful contest hall. Drew quickly pushed open the glass doors, May not far behind.
The inside of the Solarzia Contest Hall was just as beautiful as the outside. The walls were painted a calm green, with wonderful paintings of magnificent grass Pokemon in tough battles.
"Those paintings are so awsome!" Exclaimed May.
Drew apparently didn't notice as he made his way to a small yellow desk with a woman typing away on a small labtop behind it.
"Excuse me but, could my friend and I please register for this contest?" Said Drew politely.
"Oh sure! I'll need to see your pass!" Said the woman in a squeaky voice. Drew dug his Contest Pass out of his pocket and slid it across the desk so the woman could scan it to make sure it wall real.
The woman pulled a small device and put it over Drew's Pass. The woman glanced at her computer for a second or two before handing Drew's pass back to him. "Ok Drew, this contest will begin shortly, please make sure you are prepared"
Drew nodded, but he couldn't hold back his excitement. A small smile, not a smirk, appeared on his face before he told May to register.
May did as Drew had done, handing the woman her pass and having her scan it. This was it! May and Drew were officially registered for the contest!
The two coordinators quickly walked down the hall to the Coordinator's Lobby, where they would wait for their turn to appeal. When they entered the room, May noticed that the decorations and colors were the same as in the main room.
"Why do you care about that now May? Come on, let's get ready for that contest!" Said Drew.
May sighed and sat down on a comfortable green and yellow chair. Suddenly, a slit in the ceiling close to the wall opened and a very large TV screen came out.
"Ladies and Gentleman! Welcome to Solarzia's Contest Hall! Today we plan to bring you all the excitment and fun of last year's contest as you see coordinators from all over compete in our contest! My name is Vivian and I'll be announcing for this contest!" Said a young woman who suddenly appeared on the screen. Vivian's outfit had changed since May and Drew's last contest. It seemed like she was themed for the contest with her short green skirt and yellow tube top.
The battle hall was amazing! There was no roof, that bright sun could be seen clearly in the clear blue sky above. The crowd was very large as well, but Max was in a front row seat ready to watch his sister preform.
"And now, let's meet our panel of judges! First up! We have Solarzia's very own Nurse Joy!" Announced Vivian.
The screen then showed Vivian pointing towards three small podiums with little screens. Behind them were the judges, one of them being Nurse Joy.
"Thank you everyone!"Said Joy, enjoying the crowd's loud applause.
"Next up, Mr.Saysoku! Also known as the Name Rater of Lavaridge!" Announced Vivian.
An older looking man was who Vivian was pointing at this time. "Glad to be here, a real pleasure" He said. But no one clapped.
"And last, but certainly not least, Jeff! Winner of last year's Grand Festival!" Said Vivian.
Jeff was very young looking, maybe about 19 or 20 years old. He had on a stylish red tee and jeans, his hair was about Drew's hair length, and it was a pretty chocolate brown, like May's.
"Yo" He said with a small wave.
The crowd cheered louder than ever at the sight of this hot looking teen. Jeff smirked.
"And now! Here we go with coordinator #1!" Said Vivian.
A young looking boy came out, confidently throwing a poke ball that released a Nincada.
Back in the lobby, Drew and May were being very quiet, watching carefully. That is, until a girl about Drew and May's age walked up to Drew. She had on a pink tanktop, and super short jean shorts. Her white sandals were also very noticable. She had short blonde hair and whispy bangs.
"Drew...."Said the girl nervously.
"What do you want?" Said Drew, but not really paying much attention.
"Uh, my name is Shannon, and I'm.....I'm your biggest fan" Said Shannon.
"Oh great" Said Drew, still not paying attention. May however, eyed the girl suspicously.
Finally Vivian annouced, "Ok, are you all ready for coordinator #25? Well here we go! Please welcome Drew!"
Drew got up and walked through a door that led to the stage. May and Shannon watched as Drew casually walked on the stage, a poke ball in his hand.
Then he threw it to the ground and it released his Roselia, who sparkled in the sun. "Solar Beam" Said Drew queitly.
Roselia automatically formed a energy ball in its roses. But this beam was different, it was the most powerful that many had ever seen! Then, from the ball, a large beam was sent up at the sun's direction. A shower of beautiful sparkles came from the end of the beam.
"Drew has started with a beautiful display of Solar Beam, by smartly using the power of the sun!" Said Vivian.
"Now do Petal Dance" Said Drew confidently.
"Ro! Zel!" Chirped Roselia as it shot out shiny, sharp, pink petals that started to spin in twister form around the Solar Beam. Finally, the petals cut through the beam and made it disappear. The petals turned soft and gently fell towards the audience.
"What a stunning appeal! Drew has managed to pull off one of the most beautiful combinations I've ever seen! But now, what did the judges think?" Said Vivian excitedly.
"Very pretty!" Said Nurse Joy. A 10.10 appeared on her little screen.
"I agree! The combination worked great, it must have taken them hours to work that one out!"Exclaimed Mr.Saysoku. A 10.10 appeared on his screen as well.
"No, I'll have to disagree. Sure, the combination was fine, but where's the style?" Said Jeff with a mean smirk. a 3.2 appeared on his screen.
"Ok! Let's add up the score.....Drew's score is 23.4!" Announced Vivian.
Drew returned Roselia and walked back to the lobby.
Meanwhile, Shannon was having her say on Drew's appeal. "Yay Drew! You rock!"
May was annoyed, but she didn't say anything. However, when Drew's score was calculated, Shannon was almost to tears.
"He only got a 23.4! That stupid Jeff! Drew was awsome, I'd have given him a 100000.100000!" Said Shannon bitterly. Drew then walked in and she immeaditly stopped talking.
"Oh Drewsy! That was simply amazing!" Said Shannon, hugging Drew's arm. May looked curiously at Drew, feeling a little hurt.
"And our last coordinator will now appeal! Please welcome #26, May!" Vivian Exclaimed.
May pulled out Blaziken's poke ball from her bag and walked through the door that led to the stage. May wasn't nervous, but looked very proud as she entered the stage.
"Blaziken! Take the stage!" Said May, doing a cute little twirl as she threw her ball. Just as planned, Blaziken appeared and stomped a powerful clawed foot on the ground which triggered the flames from its wrists to start up.
"Ok Blaziken, use Flamethrower!" Commanded May. Blaziken mimicked Roselia and shot blazing flames at the sun. Small embers showered from the top.
"Now use Blaze Kick and finish with Tackle!" Exclaimed May.
Blaziken jumped up, its clawed foot surrounded by flames. Then, with a cool twist, Blaziken dived into the Flamethrower. Then, the flames disappeared, and Blaziken could be seen landing gracefully on the stage.
"Now that was one awsome appeal!" Exclaimed Vivian. "May, like Drew, has taken advantage of the sun with an awsome heated appeal, let's see what the judges thought about May's preformence."
"It was a very cool, the only thing that disappointed me is that she mimicked Drew's appeal in a way" Said Joy. A 9.2 appeared on her screen.
"What a talent! I love the style of it!" Exclaimed Mr.Saysoku. An 8.9 appeared on his screen.
Jeff was staring at May excitedly, but it wasn't for her appeal. "Yes, that was....hot..."Said Jeff slowly. This time, a 10.10 came up on his screen.
"Alright folks! Let's calculate May's score!" Said Vivan. "Wow! A 28.2! That's the highest score so far!" Announced Vivian.
May returned Blaziken to its pokeball and happily skipped back to the lobby.
"Oh Drew! My score! Did you see!"Exclaimed May.
But Drew wasn't there. May looked around. Then she saw it. Drew was sitting on a bench a few feet away, Shannon talking to him.
"What? Oh well, I don't need is support" Said May, folding her arms and walking away.
Back on the stage, Vivian was about to annouce who would be going on the the Battle Rounds.
"Let's see the four coordinators that will go on!" She announced. On a TV screen in the Battle Hall, four pictures started to appear, as Vivian named them. "Ok....the coordinators who will go on are.....May, Ricardo, Shannon, and Drew!"
Back in the coordinator's lobby, Shannon looked especially excited. "Drew! You made it! I did too! Yay!"
"You're in this contest?" Said Drew suddenly.
"Well of course!"Said Shannon.
In a corner nearby, May was watching the two. "Pathetic!"
"Ok, let's see the pairings for the semi-final match!" Said Vivian. "The first battle will be between Shannon and Ricardo, and then Drew and May!"
"Oh geez, you have to go against that loser?" Said Shannon.
"Hey, May's not that bad, and she's not really...."Drew sighed. "A loser"
"Yeah right Drew, you don't have to make everyone feel good about themselves" Said Shannon in sweet voice.
Shannon then got up and walked to the stage. About six minutes later, she came back looking satisfied.
"I won" Were her first words.
Then, Drew and May walked out to the stage, May didn't say a word to Drew.
When May and Drew took their places on the battle field, Vivian told them to start.
"Blaziken, take the stage!" Said May as she threw Blaziken's pokeball once again.
"Heh, go Roselia!" Said Drew confidently.
"Ok, let's put 5 minutes and the clock, and.....Begin!" Exclaimed Vivian.
"Ladies first" Said Drew, flipping through his hair.
"Fine! Blaziken, Blaze Kick!" Shouted May. She wanted to beat Drew! No matter what it took! That would show Shannon!
"Roselia dodge and then use Petal Dance" Said Drew calmly.
Blaziken leaped into the air and prepared to furiously kick Roselia, but Roselia jumped up and shot sharp pink petals at Blaziken. Blaziken tried to dodge but was too late. The petals roughly hit Blaziken.
"What?!" Yelled May suddenly. Blaziken was lying weakly on the ground. "But! But Petal Dance is super effective on fire types! That shouldn't have done that much damage"
Drew chuckled. "May, do you remember what I told you when we first arrived here?"
May ignored him and looked up at the large TV screen, only to see her points drop dramatically.
"Um.....Blaziken use Sky Uppercut!" Said May nervously.
Blaziken slowly got up and began to charge towards Roselia with its claws glowing. Roselia dodged again.
"D****!"Yelled May.
"Finish with a Magical Leaf!" Said Drew.
Roselia obeyed and shot glowing leaves that gently fell to the ground.
"Hah! Wow Drew! Leaves I'm sooo scared!" Said May sarcastically. That's when the leaves suddenly sprang up and hit Blaziken hard. Blaziken collapsed with a loud crash on the floor.
The judges all put little X's on their screens except Jeff. Still, he was over ruled and the battle was over.
"No it's not over! Blaziken get up!" Shouted May.
Vivian quickly walked up to May, looking very angry. "The battle is over! You can't push your Blaziken like that!"
"Yeah that's cruel!" Added Nurse Joy.
Then May's eyes began to water. She sunk down to her fallen Blaziken. "I'm so sorry....I'm the worst trainer ever.."
Blaziken's eyes remained closed. May knew she had really pushed it to its limit. Drew walked over to May, returning Roselia first.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her to her feet. "Come on May, you tried but you got too caught up in winning." He said gently.
May returned Blaziken and allowed Drew to pull her back to the lobby. Shannon was standing nearby looking happy.
"Good job Drew! I knew you'd beat her!"
"Yeah sure" Said Drew, although pretty much ignoring her. This was the final straw. May pulled herself away from Drew's grasp and ran through a door that led to a locker room with her face buried in her hands. Drew was stunned...
"Ok everyone! It's half time! Judges will take their brakes and the audience may do the same" Announced Vivian on the TV. Jeff stood up and walked towards the Coordinator's lobby.
He looked around and didn't see May, so he then went to the locker room. There was May, sitting on a bench in the corner, her face buried in her hands.
"May?" Said Jeff.
May lifted her head to see who had come in. Her eyes were red, she had obviously been crying.
"What do you want?" Snapped May.
"Well, you were really good out there and I.....well I.....I think you're very pretty too"Said Jeff slowly.
May wiped a tear from her eye. "Really? But I still lost"
"That doesn't matter! Losing doesn't change your looks..."Then he looked at May's red eyes. "Well emotionally yes, but you are still hot"
"Thanks Jeff. Can I have a little bit more privacy though? I'll come out soon" Said May turning her back to Jeff.
"Uh sure, do what you gotta do!" Said Jeff. He walked over to May's side and gave her a kiss. By instinct, May raised her hand and smacked him hard across the face.
"Oh so you're a tough chick huh? Well alright, see ya later" Said Jeff rubbing his face as he left the room. Then Drew walked in.
"Oh it's you" Said May.
"Yeah, it's me. Are you ok? You were acting pretty weird out there" Said Drew.
"Yeah I'm just fine. I just let my Pokemon down, embarresed myself, and got kissed by a guy I just met." Said May sarcastically.
"Well you don't have to be smart about it." Said Drew.
"Hey where's your new little girlfriend Shannon?" Snapped May.
"Girlfriend?" Said Drew in a confused tone.
A few more tears started to come from May's eyes. "Yeah girlfriend! I saw you with her! I get the idea now Drew, I'm not stupid!" Yelled May.
Drew smiled and flipped back his hair. "New little girlfriend huh?"
"I don't see anything funny about this Drew!" Shouted May.
Then Drew pulled a rose out of his pocket and threw it gracefully. It landed neatly on top of May's lap.
"What's this stupid rose for?" Yelled May.
"Just calm down May. I'd like to tell you that rose is the most beatiful I've ever found... And I wouldn't even give a rose to Shannon" Said Drew.
"Your point?" Said May.
Drew sighed. "You see May, ever since I caught Roselia, I've always loved roses. I wouldn't give a rose to just anyone"
"Drew I don't have time for your stupid riddles" Snapped May.
"Maybe this will help you understand..."Said Drew. He walked over to May like Jeff and gave her a small kiss. Only, May didn't slap him. When Drew pulled away, May smiled brightly. Drew left the locker room without another word...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes later, Drew and Shannon were facing each other in the Battle Hall, pokeballs clutched tightly in their hands.
"And now! The final battle has finally come between Shannon and Drew! Let's put five minutes on the clock and.....here we go!" Exclaimed Vivian.
"Go Roselia!" Said Drew, thrusting his pokeball onto the stage, releasing his pretty rose Pokemon.
"Ro! Zel!"Chimed Roselia.
"Ok! Go Firelight!" Exclaimed Shannon throwing a pink pokeball onto the stage. Her pokeball released a cute looking Torchic.
"Chic! Tor!" Chirped Firelight.
"Ok Drew! Go easy on me!" Yelled Shannon from across the battle stage.
Under his breath, Drew muttered, "Yeah, I'll go easy on you for what you did to May"
"Roselia, Solarbeam!" Commanded Drew.
Like in Drew's appeal, Roselia formed a green energy ball in its roses and sent a power beam right at Firelight. It hit Torchic harder than ever.
"No Firelight!" Cried Shannon.
Firelight jumped back onto its feet, but just barely. "Do an Ember attack, but not too hard ok Firelight?" Said Shannon.
Torchic nodded and shot tiny embers from its mouth at Roselia who easily dodged. "Finish with Petal Dance." Said Drew calmly.
Roselia as usual, shot swirling, sharp, pink petals at Firelight, which of course was a direct hit. Firelight fainted, the judges displaying X's on their screens.
Shannon returned Firelight to its pokeball, but she didn't look mad! She had a big stupid looking smile spread across her face. "Oh Drew! You are so strong!"
Drew sighed, he was happy to be leaving this annoying Shannon soon.
"Congratulations Drew! We now present you and your amazing Roselia with the Solarzia Ribbon!" Said Vivian, holding out two ribbons shaped like a green a yellow flower with pink stripes.
Drew put one of the ribbons around Roselia, and then proudly displayed his for the crowd to see. The audience was cheering very loudly for Drew and Roselia!
Then May came out, smiling. Drew smiled too and showed her his new ribbon. May nodded happily as she watched Drew stow it away in his ribbon case.
------------------------------------------------- Later on, as Drew and May were leaving, Shannon and Jeff ran up to them. "Oh! You're taken!" They both said at the same time. Then they looked at each other.
"Wow you're cute too!" Said Jeff, looking at Shannon.
"And you're so cool!" Replied Shannon.
Then it struck them. "Wanna......wanna go out sometime?" Said Jeff.
"Yeah, that would be fun" Said Shannon nervously.
"How perfect!" Exclaimed May.
Drew chuckled. "Yeah a perfect match, I'm just glad my stalker is gone"
"Oh shut up, you know you liked it" Said May happily.
Drew then turned his back and started to walk away, May following as usual.
Then Shannon called out, "Congrats Drew!"
"Geez, she's still at it!" Said May.
And then Jeff said, "You too May! Great battling!"
"Looks like you've got an ex-stalker too May" Said Drew with a smirk.
The two laughed and waved good-bye to the new couple. Drew, now one step closer to reaching the Grand Festival, found new hope. May learned from her mistakes and planned to win next time!

That show was really good. I like your Pokémon Contests more than mines because they're much easier to read and you don't have to worry about all the stuff that's going on out of stage (maybe the readers might like it, but my hands hurt). I think that Jeff's a hater for some reason, disrespecting Drew like that and giving May all of that attention! It was good the way that you did it, though.

Chapter 14 May & Drew! Tag Team Battle With Treecko!
"I'm surprised you're not bragging about that new ribbon Drew" Said May.
"What good would that do? I'll brag about my ribbon at the Grand Festival" Replied Drew.
"You made that contest look easy" Said May, pouting a little.
"I know, and my Roselia worked especially hard out there, didn't you notice?" Drew asked.
"Ugh, of course! While you just lazed about saying random attacks, Roselia was out there kicking butt!" Said May confidently.
"Isn't that what you're supposed to do?" Replied Drew. May sighed and was silent, she knew Drew was right.
The two had decided to go through a shortcut to get to the next town. The shortcut wasn't easy though. It was dry and barren except for a few Sandshrew and rocks.
"This is boring Drew" Whined May.
"Then why did we agree to come this way?" Said Drew with a familar smirk.
May sighed. "Whatever..." Then she made a camera lens with her fingers and began to pretend she was a new's reporter, one of her favorite things to do when she was bored.
"May's Expedition travels into a rocky valley, full of.....well stuff." Said May. Then she turned her finger-camera towards Drew. "With not a living soul except for this poor, weak, defenseless boy, this place is soooo boring!"
"Hello?! You're the weak one. Who had to save you from Aipom? Who had to save you when you fell down that cliff? Who had to rescue you from Harley? Me. I think you're pretty wrong if you think I'm weak!" Yelled Drew.
"I also rescued you from Harley once if you remember!" May shouted back.
"Once! But I have saved you three times, and did I get a single thank you?" Said Drew.
May turned silent. She stared at her feet in a Drew-like manner. May was trying to forget what happened at the Solarzia Town Contest. Drew kissed her, and May was stunned still. But, May was trying to think about it. It seemed as though Drew was doing the same.
Then a thought came to her mind. "Hey Drew, where's the next contest?"
"Why haven't you memorized the towns by now!? Am I going to have to tell you every time?" Said Drew.
"Just say it, please?" Said May in a sweet voice.
"The next town is called.....Ritsuya Town, but it's pretty far away" Said Drew looking at his Poke'Nav.
"And let me guess, you're going to wanna get there as soon a possible?" Said May.
"Of course! May, the only reason I hurry to these contests is so that we don't miss out on the Grand Festival" Said Drew, getting a little annoyed by May's tone.
"So, here we are again, still in the boring valley, but this time, May's Expedition has discovered the location of the next Pokemon Contest!" Said May, putting her fingers back into a camera pose.
May apparently ran out of ideas and she was just as quiet as Drew. That is, until Drew's Treecko decided to pop out of its pokeball.
"Treecko!" It cried.
"It looks to me like Treecko wants to enjoy the fresh air too!" Said May cheerfully. May apparently got it right because Treecko nodded and then jumped onto Drew's shoulder.
Drew sighed but said nothing. They contuinued walking again.
"I'm hungry!" Whined May suddenly, collapsing dramatically to the ground.
"And why do I care?" Said Drew.
May sat bolt upright and looked bitterly at Drew. "Becuase I do, okay!?"
Drew sighed. "Ok fine, we'll take a quick snack break if it will make you shut up"
May jumped back to her feet. "Great! I saw a Pecha Berry Tree a little while back!"
So May and Drew started to walk back the trail they had come from, but Drew didn't seem to happy about it.
May stopped at a large tree filled with peach shaped pink and orange berries. May reached out to pick a large one near the trunk, but suddenly, a tan and brown streak tackled May's hand.
"Ow, what the heck was that?" Said May rubbing her hand.
"Picking berries isn't that hard May" Said Drew, flipping his hair.
"Oh yeah? Then why don't you try!" Snapped May.
"Fine, just watch, maybe you'll learn something" Said Drew, reaching towards the same berry May had gone after. Drew picked the berry and started to walk back to May.
"See May, that was easy" Said Drew, in a very taunting tone.
Just before he was able to give the berry to May, a yellow and blue streak snatched the berry out of Drew's hand.
"See! I told you!" Said May.
"What was that?" Said Drew, looking around. Then he saw it, the blue and yellow streak landed a few feet away.
"Is that a Pokemon?" Said May pulling out her Poke'Dex.
"Manectric, the Discharge Pokemon. Manectric is the evolved form of Electrike. It stores powerful electric bolts in its mane and releases the energy later in battle" Said the familar machine-like female voice.
"Look May! Another Pokemon!" Exclaimed Drew. He was pointing to a small, but long tan and brown Pokemon stading to the right of Manectric.
"I'll check that one too" Said May, turning her Poke'Dex towards the mysterious Pokemon.
"Lioone, the Rush Pokemon." Said the Poke'Dex again."Lioone uses its long body as an advantage to speed. However, when it is racing on a curvy road, it is greatly challenged."
"So Lioone and Manectric huh?" Said May, shoving her Poke'Dex back into her waist bag.
"Yeah, but why'd they attack us?" Said Drew.
Lioone stood up on its hind legs and glared at May through its deep blue eyes. Manectric stomped the ground and its yellow mane sparked with small charges of electricity.
"No way!" Exclaimed Drew.
"What is it?" Said May.
"I think they want a double battle! Them against us!" Said Drew, already grabbing a pokeball from his belt.
May grabbed his hand quickly. "No! Those Pokemon are way to strong, lets go!"
Drew started to give in a little and let May rush him away from the two fierce looking Pokemon, but Manectric caught on and used a Thunderbolt to block their path.
"I guess we'll have to battle" Whined May.
"Treecko, I guess you can battle" Said Drew, tucking away pokeball he was originally planning to use.
Treecko jumped from Drew's shoulder and faced Manectric, eager for battle.
"Alright, if I have to.." Said May throwing one of her pokeballs. Her Beautifly came out, fluttering its colorful wings and spreading a beautiful sparkling powder through the air.
"Let's get this going already, Treecko, Bullet Seed!" Said Drew.
Treecko quickly obeyed and shot shining yellow seeds towards Manectric. Too bad Manectric was faster because it jumped out of the way just in time to dodge. Then Manectric jumped back and unleashed a powerful Shock Wave on Beautifly.
"Hey! I wasn't ready!" Cried May.
"May! Come on and attack, help with Lioone!" Yelled Drew.
"Um, ok, Beautifly, use Silver Wind!" Commanded May. Beautifly flapped its wings harder and fast silver cuts flew towards both Lioone and Manectric. It was a hit, Manectric however, shook it off like it was nothing.
"That Manectric is really tough, your Beautifly isn't going to do much, just get Lioone"Said Drew.
"Treecko! Crush Claw!" Yelled Drew suddenly. Treekco's hand glowed with a red energy and with great force, brought it down opon Manectric. Once again, Manectric dodged.
"D***! I can't hit it, now what do I do?" Said Drew in a frustrated tone.
Manectric tackled poor Treecko into a tree while Drew wasn't attacking. Treecko looked badly injured, it was rubbing its shoulder where it was hit the hardest. Then Treecko started glowing white.
May stopped battling and turned to see Treecko's glowing body grow taller and wider. "Drew! I think it's evolving!" Said a mystified May.
Treecko stopped glowing, but it wasn't Treecko anymore. The Pokemon that stood in its place was about a foot taller. It had a long leaf coming from the top of its head, and three smaller leaves growing on its long arms. "Grovyle!" Cried the Pokemon.
"Grovyle huh? Let me check the Dex" Said May reaching for her small red device.
"Grovyle, the Wood Gecko Pokemon. Grovyle's sharp claws are perfect for climbing trees in a forest. The sharp leaf on its head serves as a powerful weapon" Said the Poke'Dex.
Drew looked excited, but put on a serious expression before saying, "We can celebrate later, we still have a battle to win here"
Grovyle looked confident too, but suddenly, the leaves on its arms started glowing and transformed into a spear shape. "Drew! That's a Leaf Blade attack!" Exclaimed May, an excited shine in her pretty sapphire blue eyes.
"Any unexperienced coordintor wouldn't know that" Said Drew flipping through his hair. "But I guess you've really grown up now, May."
May just stared at Drew, at loss for words. "Drew just complimented me right? Maybe he isn't such a jerk after all" Thought May to herself.
"Now Grovyle, finish that Leaf Blade attack!" Said Drew suddenly.
Grovyle sprung into action, crossing the two glowing blades on its wrists and charging towards Manectric. It was a direct hit! Grovyle had beaten Manectric's speed and sent it flying! Manectric landed with a loud thud a few feet away, Grovyle's leaves stopped glowing and changed back to their normal form.
"I think you beat it" Said May.
May was right, Manectric didn't pull itself back up. Meanwhile, Beautiful used a powerful Silver Wind and sent a fainted Lioone crashing into Manectric, causing it to get injured even more.
"A nice preformence May" Said Drew with a smirk.
May apparently wasn't catching on. "Your Grovyle was so awsome out there!"
Drew sighed, grabbed Grovyle's pokeball and returned it in a flash of red light. "You're returning it already?" Said May.
"Why keep it out? The battle is over, and I'd like to get going" Said Drew, attaching the pokeball to his belt.
"Um.....ok.....I guess, I'll return Beautifly too" Said May, still feeling confused, but still returning Beautifly to its pokeball. But Drew was already walking down the path. "Hey! Wait for me! Don't leave me!" Yelled May, chasing after him.
"Then go faster" Said Drew in his usual calm voice.
"Rrrrr! don't mess with me! I just beat a Lioone you know!" Yelled May.
"Correct, but I just had my Treecko evolve and beat a Manectric" Said Drew, still in a calm voice.
"Whatever! I'll beat you in the next contest and maybe you'll stop being such a stuck-up jerk!" Yelled May.
Drew stopped smirking, and he didn't reply. "So she thinks I'm a jerk now, just great, I gotta teach myself to get along with girls better" Thought Drew to himself.
"Ok, whatever May" Said Drew, pretending like he didn't hear May.
The two continued walking, the next adventure lying just ahead!

May seems kind of determined to get to the next contest. Good chapter though. I think that you already did, but did you already establish a bad-guy for your story? I must be forgetting something . . . Harley . . . yeah, you did! See ya!

Yeah, I guess Harley sorta is the bad guy, but I really don't want to overuse him too much, there's so much potential, and I don't want to ruin it. Sableye is sorta a bad guy too, but more of a pesky Pokemon that likes to see people in love. Yeah, I dunno if you noticed, but Sableye is very interested in seeing May and Drew be a couple, that's why it always attacks them. It wants to see romantic situations

Chapter 15 Chika the Shining Hero!
"Wow! Look at all the shops! There are so many malls for this little town!" Exclaimed May, glancing around.
"Yeah, great" Said Drew quietly and sarcastically.
After a day of traveling in the woods, and Treecko evolving, Drew and May had reached a small little town. May hadn't been too excited about stopping somewhere so small, but after seeing the malls, she had changed her mind.
"What is this town called Drew?" Asked May.
Drew pulled out his Poke'Nav and looked closely at a small, red dot. "Uh, well, the Poke'Nav doesn't say, this town is to small"
"Woah! That's weird, well, we'll ask somebody" Said May, although her tone suggested that she was interested anymore.
Suddenly, a strange colored Chikorita ran out from behind a small green and yellow house and crashed into Drew.
May ran up to the now dazed looking Chikoita. "Oh my gosh, are you ok?" Said May.
"Why don't you ask that to me?" Said Drew slowly getting up from the fall.
May pulled out her Poke'Dex, ignoring Drew.
"Chikorita, the Leaf Pokemon" Said the Poke'Dex. "Chikorita's leaf is said to bring aromas that calm foes."
May looked at the picture of the Chikorita displayed her on Poke'Dex, and then the Chikorita that crashed into Drew. "That Chikorita looks different!" She exclaimed.
"Yeah, something's up" Said Drew, quickly glancing at Chikorita. That Chikorita was yellow and dark yellow, unlike a normal Chikorita, who's colors are green and dark green.
"Oh thank you so much! You found Chika!" Yelled a girl who looked about Drew and May's age, running up to Drew and May the from the same way Chikorita did.
"Uh, you're welcome, but really, this Chikorita found us" Said May.
The girl had soft looking brown hair, pretty dark green eyes, a dark green jacket with no sleeves but many pockets, and regular blue jeans. "Hello, and I'm sorry to yell, I was just so worried about my dear Chika, um, my name's Lily" Said the girl nervously.
"Oh, well my name is May, and this is--"Said May, but was interupted by Drew.
"It's Drew" He said calmly.
"Cool! I've heard of you two! You're those really awsome coordinartors right? And now it looks like you're traveling together?" Said Lily.
"Awsome coordinators? If you say so" Said May, looking at Drew.
"Ahem, May, I'd like to remind you who has more ribbons" Said Drew, looking irratated.
"No really! I think you are both really great! I wish I could be strong like you, my poor Chika has to suffer when I'm around, and that's why I think it keeps running away" Said Lily, suddenly frowning.
"But can I ask, how did your Chikorita get to be those colors?" Said Drew.
"It was just born that way, before I set out to become a trainer, my grandma told me it was a shining type Pokemon, and that it's very rare" Answered Lily.
"Shining? I've never heard of it, but it really does look cool!" Said May.
"Of course you haven't heard of it, May" Said Drew.
"Just shut up, you apparently haven't ethier, you were the one who asked first!" Said May furiously.
"Hey, I know, why don't you two come to my house and stay for the night? You do like tired, and I can tell you more about Chika" Said Lily, trying to stop May and Drew from arguing.
"Hey, that sounds good to me, and by the way, what is this town called?" Said Drew, remembering his question from earlier.
"Oh yeah, Devon corp. didn't add our town to the map" Said Lily bitterly. "It's called Fairleaf Town, but yeah, hardly anyone ever visits anymore"
"Oh, but why? This place is so cool!" Said May.
"Uh, just come back with me to my house, I'll explain everything." Said Lily.
"Ok, come on Drew, let's go!" Said May happily. ------------------------------------------- Lily's house, or cabin, was mostly made of wood. The roof was painted a warm red though. "Wow, your house is beautiful!" Exclaimed May.
"I know it's not real big or anything, but I need somewhere to go at night" Said Lily.
Once inside, it was also very pretty. A cozy looking fire blazed in a cute fireplace, soft furniture was placed neatly around the room, and a few small windows let in the light coming from the blood red sunrise.
Chika immeaditly ran to a large, over-stuffed chair close to the fire and fell asleep. "I'd say your Chika was pretty tired" Said May with a small laugh.
"Nah, Chikorita have a habit for sleeping near heat, but mostly in the sun. What's weird is that Chika loves fire, but most grass Pokemon hate it, but then again, my Chika is not like other Pokemon" Said Lily.
Lily went to a small kitchen area in a corner, and grabbed some cups to make drinks. Meanwhile, May sat down on the loveseat, while Drew sat on the couch opposite of her. A few minutes later, Lily returned with three cups full of what looked like tea. Then, she herself sat on the same couch Drew was on.
"So, you were asking about Fairleaf not being on the Poke'Nav's Map?" Said Lily with a sigh.
"Yeah, it's not really too convient to make a map but not include all the cities on it" Said Drew.
"Well, I don't actually know a whole lot, but I do know that it was because of a criminal who did some really awful things to the people and Pokemon here. I guess Devon didn't want trainers and coordinators to visit such a dangerous place. But the weird thing is, the criminal is gone now, and he's been gone for quite a few years now, so I dunno why they still haven't put us on the map." Said Lily, sipping from her cup occasionally.
"But! That's awful! What kind of criminal was it?" Said May, thinking of Harley.
"I dunno May, but what I do know, is that he was really crazy about Dark type Pokemon, he really liked Cacturne" Said Lily.
Drew gasped suddenly. "A Cacturne? We have a guy who likes to follow us and do bad things, and he is also obsessed with Cacturne, May, what if Harley is the one who got this town off of the map?"
"Calm down Drew, I can't be, Harley is too stupid to do that stuff" Said May.
"Ugh, don't tell me to calm down, and you never know May, Harley is not that stupid" Said Drew.
The three discussed for awhile, until the full moon shined brightly through the windows of the small cabin.
"Well, I think I'm going to go to bed now, It's getting pretty late and as a good coordinator, I like to be ready" Said Drew with a smirk.
"Yeah, you think you're just so great..."Mumbled May. "But yeah, I'd like to go to bed too, a beautiful girl like me needs her beauty sleep"
Before Drew could reply, Lily clapped her hands together, once again sensing an argument. "Great idea you two! Let's all go to bed, I'll bring you some blankets!"
"Uh...ok" Said Drew, lying down on the couch.
Lily walked to a door and disappeared through it. May also stretched out on the loveseat, awaiting a blanket.
Lily returned a moment later with only one blanket. "Uh, sorry guys, I've only got one blanket, you two might have to share" Said Lily. "And the other bad news is, any time there's a full moon in town, it gets really cold at night"
But before May or Drew could reply, Chika awoke and jumped towards Lily's hands, grabbing the blanket. Chika then ran back over to the chair, pulled the blanket over itself, and fell asleep.
"No Chika! Give that back!" Yelled Lily.
"No Lily, it'll be ok, I'll just sleep without one tonight" Said May.
"Yeah me too" Agreed Drew.
"Well ok, if you insist, but I think you'll be sorry" Said Lily, walking back to the door and leaving again.
Drew closed his emerald eyes, which were extrememly red from not sleeping, and fell asleep as fast as Chika had. May however, just lie there watching Drew.
Her mind was racing. "Maybe if I didn't argue with Drew so much, he wouldn't be so arrogant. Then again, he is a guy and there's no changing them, but maybe...." Then May thought back to the first day she met Drew in a contest. He was so quiet, so strange, but he was worried about May in the end anyways. "Maybe he really does care deep down..."
After another ten minutes, May also fell asleep. And another hour later, Drew awoke. "Weird, it's so late, and so cold"
Then he noticed May across from him, shivering from the cold. He chuckled for a moment before getting up, pulling off his purple jacket, and slipping it over May. May stopped shivering and sleepily pulled Drew's jacket more over herself. Drew smiled and returned to his make-shift bed.
But soon, both May and Drew were sound asleep, not even stirring. Not until Midnight when Chika suddenly jumped up and woke May and Drew up with its vines. "Ugh, what is it Chika?" Said May with a yawn.
"Chika! Chika!" Cried Chika, pointing to the full moon outside that could be seen shining brighter than ever.
"Is it something outside?" Asked May, starting to look worried.
Chika nodded and ran to the door looking determined. "Well they say Pokemon are more sensitive to nature than us, so let's go check it out, if it's really nothing, than it'll be no big deal, right?" Said Drew, walking over to where May had been sleeping and grabbed his jacket.
"Drew? Why was your jacket over there?" Asked May suspiciously.
"Oh nothing, maybe later ok May?" Said Drew, his face turning a little pink.
"Um, alright.....maybe we should get Lily too?" Said May.
"Nah, no time, let's just go, Chika looks pretty anxious about whatever it is" Said Drew grabbing the door handle and opening it a little.
"Ok, well don't leave without me!" Exclaimed May, running towards the door, and following Drew and Chika out when Drew fully opened the door.
Fairleaf was a different town at night. The same warm, crispy air didn't blow, it was freezing cold. It was a really creepy scene, the glowing full moon still hung high and clear and the sky.
"Hey Drew, don't you just think this is a little scary?" Asked May nervously, but keeping her eyes on Chika who had run far ahead already.
"Not again May, it's called nighttime, there's nothing scary here" Said Drew, irritated.
Chika ran all the way into town and stopped in front of a community stage with only two torches, that was darkened by the night. "Ok, it's a stage, what's the problem Chika?" Said May.
Chika looked very upset, "Chika!" It kept chanting. Suddenly, the two torches on the stage lit up with a cold blue flame. "Um, Drew, what was that?" Asked May, sounding nervous.
"It's probably just a Pokemon" Said Drew, but he sounded worried too.
Then, a dark figure appeared in the middle of the stage, when it stepped closer, it turned out the be Harley, his dark Cacturne costume lit up instantly by the flames. "Hello, long time no see huh?" Said Harley in a creepy voice.
"Chika! Chika!" Chika kept on crying, as if to be shouting at Harley for something. Harley sneered, and then his Cacturne came charging out of the darkness, it's spikes glowing, and then crashed hard into Chika, knocking it a few feet away.
"Chika!" Cried May.
"What are you doing here Harley?!" Drew demanded.
"Not that it's any of your business really, but I'm here to finish up my father's job, this little town is in need of someone like me!" Exclaimed Harley.
"Wait, that means that it's your dad's fault this town was taking of the map?!" Exclaimed May.
"You guessed it sweetie, now if you don't mind, I have some unfinished business to take care of" Said Harley, looking down from the stage coldly at May and Drew.
May and Drew, however, didn't move. "Ok, so you prefer this the hard way? Well, easy for me, I should say" Said Harley with a mean chuckle. "A little rest would do you kids some good"
At Harley's cue, Cacturne jumped down to May and Drew, who were still watching Harley, and shot a pink powder from its hands. "But wait, that's Sleep Powder!" Yelled May.
"Yeah, and Cacturne can't learn that attack!" Added Drew.
"Never underestimate the power of a Cacturne under the full moon of Fairleaf Town!" Said Harley.
The powder was taking its effect, May and Drew suddenly felt tired, and collasped on the ground, asleep. "Hah, the brats shouldn't be meddling in my plans, for that, I think I'll get myself some new Pokemon!" Exclaimed Harley happily. He, like his Cacturne, jumped down to Drew and May, but this time, he grabbed the four pokeballs of Drew's belt and May's yellow waistbag. "Sweet dreams suckers" Said Harley, returning Cacturne to its pokeball and laughing.
Meanwhile, Chika was recovering from the Needle Arm attack, but then it saw what Harley had done and it looked angry. "Chika!" It cried, but quietly. Then it charged towards Harley and rammed its head into him, causing him to drop May and Drew's pokeballs.
"What the h***? Oh, it's that stupid Chikorita again, you know, you'd make another excellent addition to my team" Said Harley, brushing off Chika's attack as if it were nothing.
Chika looked extremely angry now. But then, it took a deep breath and lifted its leaf up high and began to absorb light. "Are you supposed to scare me with a leaf? Hah, stupid Chikorita" Said Harley.
Then his cold purple eyes widened as he watched a massive beam come from Chika's leaf. It hit Harley hard, knocking him to the ground. "Chika!" Cried Chika, standing confidently next to Drew and May.
"Ok, so you wanna play dirty, we can do the same" Said Harley, looking just as mad as Chika, he grabbed one of his pokeballs and threw it so it landed perfectly in front of Chika, and releasing Aridos.
"Ari!" Hissed Aridos. Chika looked a little intimidated by the large Pokemon, but a few seconds later, it gained its confidence back and glared at Aridos.
"Constrict Aridos!" Commanded Harley. Aridos looked happy to obey as it grabbed Chika with its front legs and started to crush it.
"Chika!" Cried Chika. Then a purple powder started to float from its leaf. When the powder hit Aridos, it let go of Chika and fell over, looking weak. "Poison Powder huh? Not bad, that's why you're gonna be my Pokemon soon!" Yelled Harley, releasing his Cacturne from its pokeball.
"Go on Cacturne, just show this little Chikorita your full moon powers!" Said Harley. Cacturne nodded then suddenly released a giant beam of orange energy from its hands. But right before the beam hit a very terrified looking Chika, a Masquerain jumped in front of it and used Protect.
Chika turned its head to see Drew standing up right with a smile on his face. "Great fighting Chika, Masquerain and I will take it from here" Said Drew. "Think you could wake May up?"
Chika looked surprised for a moment, but then it nodded and ran to May's side. It first tapped May gently with its vines, but May slept on. Then Chika slapped May hard in the back with its vine which caused May to bolt up. "Oh geez, what was that for?" Yelled May rubbing her back.
"It's because you wouldn't wake up and we have to get rid of this twit!" Yelled Drew back.
"Oh yeah! Harley, ok, I'll help!" Exclaimed May, skipping to Drew's side.
"What did you just called me?!" Yelled Harley.
"A twit, duh" Exclaimed May.
Harley, looking enraged, suddenly started yelling attacks. "Cacturne! Teach those brats a lesson with Spikes!"
Cacturne looked please to release such an evil attack. The spikes suddenlt glowed white, and then many smaller spikes started raining down through the cold night air.
Chika giggled to itself before releasing Razor Leaf, which knocked off all the spikes as well as knocking Cacturne out. Harley, sighed, then returned his knocked out Cacturne to its pokeball.
"Hah, you may have ruined my plans here, but Harley always finishes what he starts, this won't be the last of me you'll see!" Yelled Harley, and slowly stepped back into the large, looming shadows that were cast from the torches on the stage. Harley had disappeared without a trace, and the blue flames went out.
"God, will he ever just go away?" Whined May.
"That piece of crap got away this time, but next time, we'll finish him off, right May?" Said Drew, sounding angry but determined.
"Uh....yeah...ok! We'll beat Harley, we can't let a loser like him bring us down!" Exclaimed May, her voice getting stronger. "And Chika! You were amazing, Harley was totally p*****!"
Chika smiled and nodded, a ray of sun hit its face, while doing so, the sun was finally starting to raise, the moon started to become dimmer. But then Chika started to glow like Treecko had when it was evolving.
"Ah! Drew look! Chika....." Exclaimed May.
"Is evolving.."Said Drew, watching as the glowing Chika grew taller, the leaf shape on its head expanded. Then the glow faded away. In Chika's place, stood a new creature, taller as expected, and the leaf on its head was much larger and stronger-looking then the original leaf.
"Bay!" Cried Chika.
May cheerfully pulled out her Poke'Dex. "Bayleef, the Leaf Pokemon. The aroma that wafts from Bayleef's leaf is much stronger than that of a Chikorita. This aroma is said to calm even the fiercest of foes." Said Dextett.
"Bay! Bay!" Chimed Chika happily. May noticed that Chika kept its special colors though the evolution process.
"But what will Lily say?!" Exclaimed Drew suddenly.
"Oh yeah! Lily, oh no...."Said May in a worried tone. But then a smiling girl came up behind May and put a hand on her shoulder.
"It's ok May, it isn't your fault, and I really like Chika even more now" Said Lily.
"Lily!" Exclaimed May.
"Yeah, I came to check on you guys and when you were all missing, I went looking for you. I saw Chika evolve and everything, and I'm so very impressed" Said Lily, petting Chika's head.
"But Chika doesn't really fit a Bayleef to well" Commented Drew.
"I know, uh, I know, Chika, your new name is Bayla! Do you like it?" Asked Lily.
"Bay!" Cheered Bayla happily.
"I'd say that's a yes!" Said May, now forming a wide grin on her face.
"Well, I hate to leave so soon, but this whole incident has put us far behind, so I think we're gonna leave now.."Said Drew.
"Ugh Drew! Do you have any manners, you just walk out of town for a contest?! Leaving a friend with no good-bye's or anything?!" May seemed to want to rant more, but Lily interupted.
"May, Drew is absolutly right. You need to follow your dreams, make them reality. Even if it means leaving friends. After all, it's not really good-bye, you can always come back and visit!" Said Lily.
"But..."Started May.
"That settles it, well Lily, thanks for letting us stay at your house, we might come back sometime!" Exclaimed Drew, though trying to keep a calm voice.
Drew started walking down a path that led out of town. May started to follow but called back to Bayla and Lily. "Bye! And thanks for everything!"
Drew continued walking, staring down at the ground as usual. "Admit it!" Demanded May suddenly.
"Admit what?" Asked Drew confused.
"You liked Bayla" Said May, folding her arms over her chest.
"Well duh, I'm always interested in Pokemon, I just want to get to the next contest" Said Drew stubbornly.
"Yeah sure, whatever" Said May rolling her eyes and walking a little closer to Drew.
May slowly did it, hoping Drew wouldn't notice. Drew looked at May and smiled, but not where she could see it. He had noticed, how could he not when he cared for her so much......

Chapter 16 Perappu a Star? May and Drew's Musical Journey! Rating: PG (Mild Swear Words)
"Today on May's Expedition, we travel to a well known town called Suyroi, famous for music!" Exclaimed May, holding her fingers in a camera-like pose over her eye.
Drew just sighed, May did this a lot, although it was annoying, there was no stopping her. What he didn't understand was that she became a coordinator instead of a journalist, but then he remembered that May was just mysterious sometimes.......
There were so many things he really didn't know about her. Drew had the general facts, but he never knew the details. May and him had traveled so much together, he figured they should at least know each other....
But then again, this wonderous Suyroi Village, it was really cool! As May had said, the town was well known for their music, even though it was small. Cute little red and black colored cabins were placed in rows throughout the village, and many little fun shops were randomly placed around the houses.
Suddenly, a cute little bird Pokemon flew over to Drew and rubbed its beak gently on Drew's leg. "What the?" Said Drew, looking down at the bird. It had a music note shaped head, and colorful blue and and yellow feathers, while its body was a calm green.
"Pe! Rep!" Chirped the bird.
May, although in love with the cute bird, pulled out her small Poke'Dex and listened to its explanation of the new Pokemon. "Perappu, the Music Note Pokemon. Perappu's singing can bring happiness to the listener. Its ability to sing any pitch makes this Pokemon a favorite among humans" Said the Poke'Dex.
"Ah! A Perappu, that's a newly discovered Pokemon, how rare!" Cried Drew.
"I don't care about any of that, its just so cute!" May leaned down to see the bird closer, but suddenly, Perappu looked frightened, and hid behind Drew.
"Wow May, you're a natural with Pokemon huh?" said Drew sarcastically.
"Oh shut up, it just needs to know me a little."
"Rep! Pe! Rep!" chirped Perappu, flapping its wings to lift itself of the ground and then landing in Drew's arms. Perappu smiled and blushed, staring hard at Drew.
May bitterly folded her arms. "What did you bribe it with Drew!"
"Hey May, is it possible that the Pokemon just likes me for being me?!"
May wanted to fight back, but just looked down, feeling a little hurt. Perappu apparently noticed as it started chirping a sad tune.
Drew felt guilty, but just turned his head. "So Perappu, do you have a trainer?" Perappu shook its head, looking a little sad. Drew, feeling even worse, then said, "How would you like to come with me then? Participate in Pokemon Contests?"
"Pe! Rep!" exclaimed Perappu, chirping happily.
"Cool! Hey May, check out my new Perappu!" exclaimed Drew. May shot Drew a dirty look, making Drew quiet again.
Having a new Perappu, the three continued walking, until they reached the front of the village. Not speaking, May and Drew entered the town. Suddenly, a whole crowd of people surronded Drew and Perappu.
"A Perappu! Everyone come look!" yelled a woman.
"No way! It can't be a real Perappu!" exclaimed an excited teen.
Drew and Perappu looked overwhelmed by the large crowd, but May just watched from behind, looking angry and jealous.
"Thinks he's so great, what a jerk. I could have caught that Perappu just as easy!" mumbled May.
"Hey, May!" yelled a familar voice. May turned around to see Max running up to her. He stopped just in front of May, panting. "May! What brings you here?" He asked.
May looked surprised, but answered, "Somehow that jerk convinced me to come here."
"Jerk? Do you mean Drew?"
"Duh!" snapped May.
"I don't think he's a jerk at all, May, what happened?!" asked Max, sounding worried.
"First he thinks he's all great catching a Perappu, then he gets this giant crowd, he always just thinks that everyone loves him!"
"If I were Drew, I'd brag about a Perappu too, those are pretty rare Pokemon, and I'm thinking he's not really enjoying that crowd as much as you think."
"Of course! Side with Drew, I should of known!"
"No May! Stop acting like that! I think you're just jealous!" Max said, trying to sound mad.
May blushed and didn't reply, but instead looked over to where the crowd had surronded Drew, realizing, maybe her brother was right....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Poor Drew, he was dealing with many people who were trying to grab his Perappu. Until a woman an a police suit pushed through them all, and standing next to Drew. She had long purple hair, and pretty purple eyes to match. "Ok, back off everyone, please, you can all see it later!"
The people all groaned, but returned to thier cabins, conversating about Perappu. "I'm sorry for the rude welcome, my name is Officer Elizabeth, but I prefer it that you called me Ellie" Said the woman.
"Oh, it's ok, I'm Drew, but why are they all so crazy over my Perappu?"
"Oh, yes, Perappu are rare as you know, but the people consider them as gods of music, and our town being known for music, heh, it makes sense right?" explained Ellie.
May and Max walked up to Drew and Ellie. "Uh Drew....I'm sorry" Said May.
Drew gave May a kind, yet sarcastic smirk. "It's ok, we all have our moments right, especially you? And I see Max is here, well I have someone new to introduce you too, this is Ellie."
Ellie waved and smiled. "Hi everyone, I take it you're friends of Drew?"
"Yeah, I guess you could say that." said Max.
"Well come back to my office, I have some more stuff I wanna talk to you all about!" informed Ellie, turning away to lead them all to her office.
"Ok, well, we aren't in a big hurry, so I guess that's ok," said Drew.
May rolled her eyes, since when was Drew not in a hurry?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ellie had taken them all to her office, a nice little room with white walls, three small chairs and her desk. May, Max, and Drew took the chairs, waiting to talk with Ellie, who was pacing across the room. She had changed back to her normal clothes, a sky-blue tank top and a long jean skirt.
"So, a Perappu huh?" Ellie was looking at Drew's Perappu, who was now sleeping in his lap.
"Yeah, I guess so, I had no idea it was so rare!" exclaimed Drew.
"Yes, and well, I hate to ask something of you, especially something so big, but I need you, May and Drew, to take part in the Perappu Festival!"
"Perappu Festival?! Well it sounds cool, you can count me in!" exclaimed May.
"Well I can't refuse now can I?" said Drew, nodding and smiling.
"Great! May, Drew, and Perappu, you three are the stars, so here's what you have to do. Since our town is famous for our music, we need you to form a band! Perappu has to be the singer though!" Said Ellie.
May's eyes got wide. "A band?!"
Ellie now looked worried. "Can either of you play any instruments?"
"Yes! Why do you look so worried!? I used to play guitar when I was really little, I really wanted a chance to try it again!"
Drew looked nervous too. "Um....Ellie, I don't know how to play any instruments."
"It's ok Drew, this really works out, May, if you can play Guitar, Drew can learn how to play the drum, it's pretty easy and will be useful to the band!" explained Ellie.
"Why can't I be in it?" asked Max.
"Oh, I'm sorry Max, I need the two oldest," Ellie informed in a kind voice, as though Max were still a little kid.
Then Ellie left the room for a moment, returning with an awesome looking electric guitar. It was black, with flaming music note pattens on it. "Ok May, will this work?"
May appeared too mystified to answer. She nodded, still looking at the cool instrument in awe. "And Drew, we'll work with you later, May I'd like to hear you play a little, can you read music?"
"Yeah, of course!" Said May, putting the strap around herself and placing the guitar in a comfortable spot. Drew snorted, knowing May, she was probably faking.
"What do you want me to play?" asked May, ignoring Drew.
"Anything, do you know any songs?" asked Ellie, still looking pleased.
"Yes, but give me a second to remember the chords," A few silent minutes later, May moved her fingers into shape of an easy chord, but then she started to strum across the stings skillfully and gently, moving her fingers to a new chord every so often. Drew stared in awe, but realizing this, he folded his arms and looked unimpressed. But he did have to admit, the cute little tune May was playing sounded really nice. Perappu, hearing the music, woke up with a start, spreading out its colorful wings, which surprised Max a little.
Then, folding its multicolored wings back, it started to chirp out the tune May was playing, which made Ellie smile even more. "Wow May, you and Perappu seem to really be together on this, hmm, yes that's why you're so perfect for this festival, I knew Perappu brought luck...."
May stopped playing, which also caused Perappu to stop chirping. "Okay Drew, the drums are pretty simple, so please don't worry to much about that," Said Ellie. But Drew didn't exactly looked worried, but really confident, the usual.
"Argh, Drew! Why do you always have to act like that?!" growled May.
"May, calm down, remember you can be a little over confident too," Said Max, trying to calm his sister down. May shot him a scary look, which caused Max to sink down in his chair.
"Come on, there's no reason to get all worked up over little things," Said Ellie, now looking a little concerned. "Now May, here's the music, I suggest you start practicing considering the Festival is tomorrow. Now Drew, come with me, and Max, I dunno, there's plenty of things to do in this town, maybe you could entertain yourself for a while?" Ellie was already leading Drew to the room where she had gotten May's guitar.
Max nodded and replied, "Okay, and hey Drew, mind if I borrow Perappu? I might be able to teach it to sing!"
"You don't need to worry about that, Perappu can pick up on any tune just by hearing it, but it's a nice offer," Said Ellie, in her kind voice again.
"But you can borrow Perappu if you want, just don't let the crazy people here get to it," warned Drew, with a smirk. "And by crazy, I mean May."
Perappu chirped happily, then jumped to Max's shoulder. The four seperated, Drew and Ellie going to the room in her office, May going to a quiet place outside, and Max and Perappu also going outside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May found a nice place, just outside the little town. A large tree was her shade, and a medium sized boulder was right under it. May sat down on the rock, shifting her guitar back into the right spot, then she placed the music sheet on the soft grass in front of her.
"Wow, this song is pretty easy, only four different chords, hah," stated May, looking over the music. Then, watching her finger carefully, she played the first line, slowly to start. The she tried it faster and faster, until she had it perfect and memorized. Then she played though the rest of the song, it was a cool song, it sounded somewhat modern, yet still old style.
May practiced over and over, sounding better every time, she loved the part towards the end of the song, it sounded so cool and mysterious.
--------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Ellie had brought Drew to a nice looking room, with white tiles and walls, many instruments were placed around the perimeter of the room, some were cool, others were fancy.
Ellie brought Drew only one, medium sized drum. "See? I told you it was simple, you simply have to memorize the beat of the song." Ellie pulled out a pair of drumsticks and handed one to Drew. Then, she played the beat, it was not a slow beat, nor a fast one, just about medium, making Drew realize, it was simple.
"The only tricky part is keeping the beat when you're playing the drums along to other instruments." explained Ellie, pulling a strand of her indigo colored hair out of her face.
Eventually, Ellie gave Drew both sticks, and he played the beat perfectly, feeling fully confident that the whole song was going to be easy. He looked forward to hearing his new Perappu sing along to the beat he played.
--------------------------------------
Max had taken Perappu to a small forest that was close to the town. He planned to train it for Drew, to earn his respect.
"Go Perappu! Uproar!" commanded Max.
Perappu opened its small beak, screeching so harshly, the smaller trees shuddered and some of their leaves blew away.
"Very good, and now, Hyper Voice!" Yelled Max.
This time, the sound emitting from Perappu's beak was much worse, not only was it louder, but more high pitched too. Max looked impressed, but because he was out of ideas, he grabbed his Poke'Dex from his belt and looked up Perappu's attacks.
"Perappu can learn: Hyper Voice Uproar Fake Tears Sing Screech Wave More>" Read Max's Poke'Dex.
"Screech Wave? I've never heard of that attack, but hey, let's try it out, ok Perappu, Screech Wave!" exclaimed Max.
Perappu looked scared, but it obeyed, producing such a terrible sound, the waves were visible, Max watched in awe. "That looked powerful! Another one!" yelled Max.
Perappu repeated its last attack, but this one was even more powerful, it even pushed Perappu back. Then the little bird looked upset, giving Max a sad look. "What is it Perappu?" asked Max, looking worried.
Perappu attempted to sing, but all that came out was a small, scratchy sounding screech. "Oh no! Not before the festival! Perappu, do you need water? Yeah I bet that's it, here," panicked Max, pulling a bottle of water from his backpack and giving it to Perappu.
Perappu drank the water slowly, then it tried to sing again, poor Perappu only sounded worse. Max groaned. "Now what do I do? May is gonna kill me."
Pulling Perappu back into his arms, Max began to walk towards Suyroi, feeling sad. He made his way back to the police station, but Drew and Ellie came out first. "Oh Max, hey, how's Perappu?" Asked Drew.
Max gulped, handing Perappu back to Drew. "J-just f-fine."
Ellie looked up at the sun that was slowly sinking in the sky, causing the the surroundings to turn yellow and orange. "We'd better go get May, it's getting dark."
"Yeah, we all know someone has to keep an eye on her at all times," Said Drew, rolling his eyes and smirking. Max giggled nervously, staring at Perappu who fell asleep again.
-----------------------------------------------
Later that night, Drew and May practiced together, everything was perfect, now they just needed Perappu, who was still sleeping soundly on Ellie's lap. Ellie clapped at the end of their song. "Very good, this is all going to be so perfect tomorrow."
May and Drew smiled, they were both all ready, and were also feeling excited to preform in front of so many people. Secretly, Drew was looking forward to preforming with May.
"Ok guys, I think that's enough for tonight, we need you all ready for tomorrow, so I guess it's bedtime," Said Ellie. "Sorry but the Police Station doesn't have have any beds, so you'll have to stay at the Pokemon Center for tonight."
"Okay, that's fine, and see you tomorrow, Ellie!" Said May, following Max and Drew, they had already left. Ellie smiled and waved, watching May close the door behind herself.
---------------------------------------------
At the Pokemon Center, it was almost full except for one room that only had two beds. Nurse Joy had told them that many people from other towns were visiting to see the Perappu Festival.
The room they were staying in was small, with wooden floors, and the usual night stand, and the window. There were only two beds, which were on opposite sides of the room. "Max! Sleep on the floor!" Yelled May.
"No! You!"
May gave him a light punch on the head. "Floor!" Drew chuckled, watching the siblings argue, he never knew what it was like, being an only child.

Suddenly Max pointed at Drew. "Sleep with him, since you guys like each other!"
Both May and Drew blushed, yes, perhaps this did sound nice, but it was embarassing. "Shut up Max, you sleep with him, we all know you practically drool on him!" Yelled Max.
Drew, now getting annoyed, suddenly yelled, "**** it May! Just make up your mind!"
May looked somewhat hurt, but then noticed Max giggling. A few seconds later, Max was lying on the floor, holding his head in pain, his sister looking satisfied. "I told you to stay on the floor," Said May.
Max quickly got up and jumped into one of the beds, giggling and covering himself with the thick green blanket that once covered the bed. "Hah, now I have to get one!"
May started to yell at Max, but Drew stopped her. "Don't be so childish May," He said calmly.
May paused, staring at Drew. "What are we gonna do then? There's only one bed, who's gonna get it?" Asked May.
Drew wasn't quite sure if it would be ok to say what was on his mind, so he simply said, "You go ahead, I'm going to go train my Grovyle for a while."
"Are you sure, Drew?" Asked May, a little confused. Drew didn't reply, but just left the room, turning out the lights. Perappu jumped to May's bed, folding its wings and falling asleep next to May's head. May sighed, staring out the beams out moonlight the shone though the window and hit the wooden floor. "He's so reckless sometimes..." ----------------------------------------
Drew, went up to the spot where May had practiced her guitar earlier that day. He let Grovyle out of its pokeball, but that night, he didn't intend to train. Drew sat down on the rock, looking at the crescent moon that was now almost completely covered by clouds.
"Sleep with him, since you guys like each other!"
The thought of Max saying this raced through Drew's mind. Did he like May? He felt like he had just met her, yet he'd already kissed her and slept with her. But wasn't it normal for a teenage boy? Drew had never had experience with love, he'd never liked a girl, but May, she was different. Even when she got mad, or upset with him, Drew loved every second of it, as long as May was there.
But was the kiss too soon? What if it made May feel akward towards him? Drew felt like a total idiot, May was pretty and funny, she probably knew how to handle love and her emotions from experience, it wasn't fair! He didn't want to look stupid in front of her.
"Vyle?" Asked Grovyle, watching Drew carefully.
"Oh sorry, I'm just a little confused right now, Grovyle," Said Drew, giving Grovyle a friendly pat on the head. "Before I had caught you, well maybe before I ask that, do you know what love is?"
Grovyle nodded, even though as a Treecko living in a forest, it knew what love was.
"Then have you ever fell in love?" Asked Drew, not looking at Grovyle, but at the moon, the light reflected off of his pretty emerald eyes, making him appear to be in deep thought. Grovyle shook its head, looking a little sad. "I haven't either, not until I met.....May..."
Grovyle didn't look surprised to hear Drew admit. Instead, it put a claw on Drew's knee and nodded. "I know you can't speak english, but I have to admit, it's nice to have you here," Said Drew. Grovyle smiled, as if to say, 'It's nice to have you too'. -------------------------------------------
The next morning, May and Max awoke to find Drew missing. May smiled, her instinct told her exactly where Drew was. She led Perappu and Max to the tree, and as she expected, there was Drew and Grovyle. Both of the were sleeping, Grovyle leaning on Drew a little.
May smirked, this was her chance. Quietly, she released Whiscash from its pokeball. "Water Pulse, okay Whiscash?" said May sweetly.
The blue fish looked excited as it shot powerful rings of water at Drew and Grovyle. Taking the full hit of the attack, the boys jumped up in protest. "Good morning Drew!" Exclaimed May.
"What the hell was that for?!" Yelled Drew.
"Uh let's see, you were being lazy, duh," said May, sticking her tounge out.
Drew was about to argue again, but then stopped, thinking about the previous night. Grovyle noticed and smiled, looking confident.
"Are you ready for today, May?" He asked.
May didn't look convinced. "Okay, what do you want?"
"Nothing, I was just checking, jeez, you don't have to jump on me for little mistakes that we all know you most commonly make, am I right May?"
May growled, but then said, "Whatever, we need to get the ready, the festival starts in an hour."
"An hour?!" Yelled Max suddenly, glancing at Perappu nervously.
"Uh yeah, what's the problem?" asked May.
"Oh erm, nothing! Everything is just fine, especially Perappu!" Exclaimed Max nervously.
"I don't believe you..." said May. "But for now, Drew and I need to go set up on the stage, see you there, and will you take care of Perappu for awhile?"
"Uh.....oh yeah, sure! Great, I'd love to!" said Max, scooping Perappu in his arms again. Perappu whimpered, wondering if Max was planning to train again. Max watched until May, Drew, and Ellie had disappeared, then went to talking to Perappu.
As though Max read its mind, he said, "Don't worry Perappu, today is all about getting your voice back before the preformence!"
Max set Perappu on the ground. "Ok, try to sing."
Perappu opened its beak, preparing to sing a tune, but once again, all that came out was a hoarse screech. "Oh no, May is so gonna kill me for this...." Said Max, groaning.
"There has to be something I can do to get your voice back.....wait a second, May can't get mad at me if she doesn't know I did it! That's it, I won't tell her, she'll never know!" Said Max. Perappu still looked worried though.
-----------------------------------------------------
An hour later, May and Drew came back to pick up Max and Perappu, then headed to the center of town. A large and very pretty stage was set up, a projection screen set up to serve as the back. Colorful ribbons decorated the sides of the stage, and many people were already waiting to see the show. On stage, there was Drew's drum, and an amp to plug May's guitar into. But there were two microphones at the front of the stage, one was very small, obviously for Perappu.
Max pushed Perappu on the stage, but it looked back at him nervously. "Don't worry, you'll be great!" Encouraged Max. Drew and May also got on stage, but from a set of stairs on the left side of the stage, Ellie following.
The sun had almost set, the perfect light for the Perappu Festival. May plugged her cool electric guitar into the amp, and set up in the spot where she and Ellie had practiced, Drew doing the same.
Ellie walked up to the tall microphone, she was dressed in her police uniform. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to yet another Perappu Festival! As you all know, we celebrate every time a Perappu comes to our village, and this time, we were lucky enough to have these two young coordinator's, Drew and May, to come along with our lucky Perappu! And now, for some of Perappu's music, with its trainers playing along!" Announced Ellie. Then she walked off the stage.
Just as they had practiced, Drew started by playing the beat, then May came in with her guitar, which added a very pleasent mix, people in the audience were already clapping. Then it was Perappu's turn to come in, but instead of chirping along, it looked back and forth nervously, feeling confused. Drew and May looked confused as well, but they kept playing. Ellie motioned for Perappu to start.
Feeling comforted by Ellie, Perappu opened its shiny pink beak, and tried its best to sing. Once again, the terrible screeching noise came out, causing people in the auidence to flinch. Max looked ashamed, watching poor Perappu. Then he got a quick idea. "Perappu! Sing!" He shouted.
Perappu suddenly snapped out of its confusion, attacks were easy! So then, Perappu began to sing in its normal voice, and it actually matched the tune! But the problem was, everyone, as expected with a Sing Attack, fell asleep.
------------------------------------------------
It wasn't until morning that everyone woke up, well at least Drew. He looked over at May, who was lying on her back, guitar still on, and snoring. "Jeez, what a slob," Said Drew, embarassed.
Slowly, more and more people began to wake up, but most of them went back to their houses. When only Drew, May, Max, and Ellie were left, it was then that Drew realized the time.
"Listen, I have something I should have told you about last night...."Said Max.
"What is it Max?" Asked May.
"Well, you know Perappu's voice? I forced it to use this one attack, and it made its voice come out like that," Said Max.
"Max! Why didn't you tell us, Ellie has a special drink at the Police Station that can heal that!" Yelled May.
"I didn't want you to get mad at me," Murmered Max.
May sighed. "Oh Max, that's what siblings do, right?"
Max smiled, then jumped into his sister's arms, a loving hug. "After not being able to see you for all those years, well, there's a lot I didn't get to know about you!" Said Max.
"Yeah, I know, and the same would go for me," Said May. Then she noticed Drew standing by the edge of town, Perappu at his heels. "Great, not again. Sorry Ellie, Max, Drew always seems to be in such a hurry."
"Well yeah, I have to get going I guess, there's a Pokemon Breeder's Convention today that I really want to see, so see you at your next contest May!" Exclaimed Max, turning towards the opposite path.
Ellie smiled. "Thanks May, and like I said before, sorry it didn't work out. But really, your friend Drew, he's pretty cool, I'd be more nice to him if I were you."
"Yeah right, like he's ever nice to me!" Said May.
"Hmm, ok then, well just remember, him being in a hurry, it will only help you become stronger, so just remember that, ok?" Said Ellie.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Well Ellie, I hope to see you again someday!" Exclaimed May, waving good-bye to Ellie and then running up to Drew.
"You like dramatic endings?" Asked Drew.
"What?"
"Dramatic endings, you always have to take like an hour just to say good-bye, you know the Grand Festival isn't going to wait for us!" Scolded Drew.
"Sure, whatever, with all this stuff going on, I almost forgot about that..."Said May.
So, with a new Pokemon and a friend, May and Drew are making their way to the next contest, in hot pursuit of the Grand Festival......

Chapter 17 The Many Twists of Love! May's Chance Rating: PG Pages: 7
A bright morning sun shone through the large and clear window of May and Drew's room in the Pokemon Center. They had been traveling as usual, but decided to stay the night at the Center. But Drew had told May that they'd leave first thing in the morning. So much for that idea.
Drew awoke with a start, panting and sweating. He glanced over at May who was still sleeping. "D***, why do I still feel tired!"
May slowly sat up, "Morning already?" She yawned, but remembering what Drew had previously said, she jumped out of bed and headed to the showers.
Drew felt weak, tired, and hot. But he got up, forcing himself to the showers as well.
-----------------------------------------------
Everything was done, May and Drew were ready, but they were sitting on their beds still. "Well come on, it was you who said we should go," Said May, getting up.
Drew followed, still sweating and panting. He followed May slowly. "What's wrong with you, Drew? You look like you're sick," Said May, looking a little worried. They were in a hallway of the Center, the one that lead to the door.
"No, I'm fine..." Said Drew slowly.
"No you're not! Drew, if you're sick, I'll tell Nurse Joy we need the room for another night and..."May Paused, frightened by the look on Drew's face.
He grabbed her shoulders, pushing her back into the wall. "I am FINE! Now come on, we are leaving!" He yelled.
Nurse Joy came behind them, giggling at their position. "So I guess this means that you're leaving?"
"Yes, thanks for the room," Said Drew, dragging May out of the Center.
--------------------------------------
They were now traveling through another dense forest, but the sun still shone through. May was still feeling upset over what Drew had done. Drew though, still lagged behind, feeling weak.
May didn't dare say another word about it. Sometimes she felt as if she never understood him. May wanting to get Drew back for earlier, suddenly whirled around, waiting for him to catch up. "Hey Drew, if you're so desperate to get to the Grand Festival, why don't you go faster!" She yelled.
Without warning, Drew suddenly collapsed. May's anger turned to worry. She leaned down by his head, gently lifting one his emerald green bangs out of his face, so she could see him. His eyes were shut; he had become unconscious from fever.
"You idiot..."Murmured May.
"I guess we'll have to find somewhere to stay for the night, hmm..." Said May, pulling Drew's Poke'Nav out of his pocket. "Whoa, this forest is huge!" She examined the Poke'Nav's map, looking for a clear spot to camp. "Ah hah, this will work. Go Blaziken!"
May threw a poke ball from her waist bag. It released Blaziken as expected. "Okay Blaziken, you don't mind carrying Drew, do you?"
Blaziken nodded, scooping Drew's limp body in its strong arms. "Okay thanks, now just follow me, I know where we're headed." Said May.
May and Blaziken walked until they found another small path that led off of the main trail. "This is it, we just travel this path, and we should see a clearing!" Exclaimed May, already heading down the trail.
This trail was a lot deeper into the forest. The sun just barely peeked through the tops of the trees. But May and Blaziken continued walking until they found it, a small dirt patch that was just big enough for May and Drew to stay at.
May set down her waist bag and pulled out her tent and prepared to set it up. Meanwhile, Blaziken watched, still glancing down at Drew every so often.
-------------------------------------------
An hour later, May's cute Torchic tent was all set up. She had returned Blaziken and pulled Drew inside the tent, letting him use her pillow and sleeping bag. May stuck her head outside the tent to see what little of the sky was visible. "Hmm, sunset already. Well, I guess I was feeling tired anyways!" Said May, pulling herself back into the tent.
She glanced at Drew again, feeling worried. She carefully pulled her gloves off of her hands, and with one bare hand, she placed it across Drew's forehead. "Still got a pretty bad fever...Oh Drew, I wish I knew how to help you..."
May now lie back, staring at the top of the tent. Sighing, she closed her eyes and fell asleep...
----------------------------------------
The next morning, May awoke with a start. “Oh, just a dream…”
She glanced over at Drew, who was still unconscious. Though, he was still sweating and breathing quickly.
“When are you going to get better?” Asked May, though she knew there would be no reply. May sighed, the feeling of being alone, it was a horrible feeling. She missed Drew, even his sarcastic remarks.
“What am I supposed to do while he’s sick? There must be something out there for me to do,” Said May. “Wait a minute! Drew said his Grovyle was really good with medicine and stuff, maybe I can help Drew!”
She grabbed Grovyle’s Poke Ball from Drew’s belt. She held it up, so Grovyle could be released.
“Vyle?” It asked, looking at May. Then it looked over at Drew, surprised.
“It’s okay, Grovyle, Drew will be fine, but I need your help with something,”
Grovyle nodded, still looking at its weakened trainer. “Drew told me you know a lot about medicine, so maybe we could go out in the forest to try and find some herbal plants?”
Grovyle finally looked away from Drew, then smiled at May. It quickly ran out of the tent, May slowly following.
“Wow, you sure are energetic!” Exclaimed May, having to speed up to the swift forest Pokemon.
Grovyle came to a sudden halt at an old looking tree with red leaves as if it were Fall. Using its strong claws, it pulled itself up the tree’s scratched up trunk, reaching for a particularly large leaf. It swiped at the leaf, successfully plucking it from the branch, but by doing so, Grovyle lost balance and started tumbling down to the hard ground below. It closed its eyes, bracing itself for the pain, but instead of hitting the ground, it landed in May’s arms.
May just giggled. “It’s true! Pokemon really are like they’re trainers! Drew taught you to be reckless!”
Grovyle jumped down from her arms, still holding the large, but beautiful red leaf. It handed it to May, and then took off running again, as though it knew where to find the next herb.
About an hour later, May and Grovyle returned. May of course, was carrying a variety of different leaves, plants, and a few other things.
They both entered the tent, May glancing at Drew yet again. It seemed as if the fever had gotten worse, Drew’s face was now a light shade of red, and his breathing wasn’t so steady anymore. May was now really worried, but it seemed that Grovyle had calmed down. It put a claw on May’s shoulder to assure her that everything was going to okay. She nodded, it helped, but what she couldn’t help was worrying about Drew.
“So, what do we do now, Grovyle?” Asked May, giving the medicine ingredients back to the Pokemon.
Grovyle grinned, then ran to Drew’s side, but more accurately, his bag. Grovyle pulled out a plastic bowl from it.
May was amazed by the Pokemon’s intelligence. She watched in awe as Grovyle prepared itself. But Grovyle broke her concentration. It stood in front of her, holding out its claw.
“What? Do you want something?” She asked.
Grovyle nodded, giving up hope of explaining to May, it grabbed two poke balls from May’s waist bag.
“Hey!” May yelled in protest, but Grovyle ran out of the tent with the poke balls, leaves, and bowl.
She sighed, but she trusted Grovyle enough, it probably needed her Pokemon for some reason. If it were going to help Drew, it would all be worth it… --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the sun went down, May started to get nervous. Drew’s fever still hadn’t gone down. She stared at his lifeless state. Although she didn’t want to say it, she really did miss him. He may have been a jerk at times, but still…there was something about him….
When the harvest moon was fully set in the sky, Grovyle returned to the tent, handing May her poke balls. “Oh! You used Blaziken and Whiscash! How did it go?”
Grovyle looked tired, but it held up the once empty bowl, which now contained a green liquid. “So, is this medicine?” Asked May.
Grovyle nodded, handing the May the bowl, then rushing to its trainer’s side. It was then Grovyle noticed Drew’s fever had gotten worse. Noticing its poke ball laying a few feet away, it poked the opening, and was absorbed inside by a red light.
“Poor Grovyle….” Whispered May. “It worked so hard today.”
Then she looked at the medicine. “Ah! Poor me! I don’t know how to do this! What do I look like? I doctor?!” May sighed. “I guess I’ll just have to do my best…”
“Grovyle didn’t really give too many instructions….” Said May with a nervous giggle.
Finding a spoon in her bag, May leaned in, closer to Drew, a spoonful of the thick green liquid. May groaned as she shoved the spoon in his mouth, dumping the liquid. “I will never, and I mean NEVER, do this again!”
May pulled the spoon from his mouth. Drew seemed to swallow the medicine, but with a little bit of struggle. May set the spoon in the bowl, and set it off to the side. Then, grabbing a poke ball, she released Whiscash, who was happily flopping around.
Then she dug around in Drew’s bag, finding a small rag, exactly what she was looking for. “Whiscash, gently Water Gun this for me, okay?” Said May, holding the rag in front of Whiscash. The blue fish nodded, then shot a gently spray of water from its mouth.
With the rag now soaked, May carefully folded it into a long rectangular shape, then placed across Drew’s forehead. “There, that should help….”
The next morning, May awoke slowly, but when she was fully awake, she was busy. Taking care of Drew. He still hadn’t awoken, but his fever had gone done a little.
Over the next few days, May kept taking care of Drew, even though it made her tired, she felt she had to do it, as Drew would do the same for her. She gave Drew the medicine once a night, which was what she decided, was best. Even without the help of Grovyle, she managed to help bring Drew’s fever down by a lot.
Finally, about five nights of busily keeping Drew healthy, she felt too tired. May tried her hardest to stay awake, for Drew, but she eventually gave in, falling into a deep sleep…
The next day came, the sun rising slowly; the sky was in light shades of pink and purple. May awoke with a start, glancing at Drew. Except, Drew wasn’t there!
“Drew!” May yelled, a little scared. “He’s such an idiot! He probably went to train, what happens if he gets really sick again?!”
May rushed outside the tent, accidentally running into something large and green. Looking up, she noticed Drew’s strong sand dragon. “Flygon!” She exclaimed.
But there was something odd about the look on Flygon face. May noticed a beautiful, scarlet rose sticking out of its mouth. It leaned down, bending its wings back, as if it wanted May to get on.
May guessed this too, as she jumped on its back. Grinning, Flygon skillfully beat its wings, slowly rising higher and higher into the sky. “What is going on here?” May demanded. Flygon didn’t reply, but instead, it sped up.
May looked down. They were pretty high up, but she saw a field of what looked like red flowers, a few pink trees stood above the red mess.
Flygon slowly lowered itself, landing by a specific tree. Getting closer and closer, May noticed the pink trees were actually cherry blossoms, and the red flowers were like the scarlet rose that Flygon had. “Woah!” Was May’s only comment on the beautiful scenery.
Landing carefully at the base of a cherry blossom, May jumped off, noticing a quiet green haired boy leaning against the trunk. “Drew?” She asked.
The boy turned his face to May. Those emerald eyes, and the grin on his face, this was most definitely Drew. “May…” He answered softly.
“So, what’s all this?” Asked May, sinking down next to him.
“Just a little thanks from me,” Drew replied, staring out at the stunning field of roses.
“You knew?”
“How could I not? I don’t just get better on my own,” Said Drew with a chuckle.
“I didn’t really do that much though, it was Grovyle really,” Said May, blushing.
“True, Grovyle did contribute, but really May, I know you worked hard,” Said Drew, now staring into May’s eyes deeply.
May’s face turned even redder. “Well okay…I guess…”
Drew grinned again. “Nice isn’t it? I never expected to find this,”
“Nice?! It’s beautiful, Drew! And the timing is perfect, look at the way the sky looks!” Exclaimed May.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew through the little field. A few of the pink petals blew of the cherry blossom tree, creating an even more attractive scene. Drew chucked again.
“What’s so funny, Drew?” Asked May.
“Think of a contest, May, the appeal round specifically. Now, imagine you have the perfect combo that you know will get you a perfect score…”
“Yeah?”
“Well, as planned, the appeal goes perfect, but then, something happens, such as, if you were using a grass Pokemon, the sun comes on, offering the perfect opportunity to use a powerful Solar Beam. It adds to the appeal greatly, except, your score can’t get any better,” Said Drew.
“Okay, what’s so funny about that?” Asked May.
“It reminded me of this field. I didn’t plan the cherry blossom petals, or the sky, but yet, it worked out so well,”
“You’re weird sometimes,” Said May, giggling.
“Look who’s talking,” Said Drew with a smirk.
May continued to giggle, she missed the sarcasm, so now she enjoyed it.
Drew flicked a strand of hair from his face, although May knew he did it to look cool, as always.
“So Drew, you must be in heaven here, check out all the roses!” May exclaimed.
“Hmm, well I was when you came…”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Asked May.
“Oh, nothing really, just forget that I said that, okay?” Said Drew, his face now turning red.
“You’re acting kinda weird today, Drew, are you still sick?” May asked suspiciously.
“Nah, I’m just in a good mood,” Said Drew, smiling.
The sky was now starting to turn back to a light blue, but the sun was still just rising, and from May and Drew’s position, it was a clear, beautiful sight.
Flygon was gracefully soaring through the sky, still keeping an eye on May and Drew. But it was also enjoying the fresh morning atmosphere.
It dropped the rose it was carrying in between May and Drew. They both reached for the rose, May’s hand landing on Drew’s, which was on the rose’s delicate stem.
May pulled back, blushing and laughing nervously. Drew stared ay May, thinking, maybe their feeling were the same?
Drew picked up the rose, but then he handed it to May. “It was for you anyways…”
May accepted the rose. She held it with both hands, over her heart. “Thanks.”
Drew grinned again, sharing the same grin as his Flygon, who zoomed in to watch the two.
May moved in, a little closer to Drew…
But they both were watching the sunrise, neither realizing that their hands were now bonded closely together.
Perhaps they did notice, but if this was true, it seemed as if they didn’t care. Staring at the sun that was slowly coming up, May and Drew’s next adventure would begin……
