May and Drew had just made it out of Ilex forest and arrived into the green meadows in front of them. These green fields would lead the two travelers to their next destination, Goldernrod City. Just barely, May and Drew could see the tops of a few of the buildings in Goldernrod.
"Oh my god" Drew exclaimed "No more trees" he said with a relieved tone.
"Well duh, we are out of the forest" May said matter-of-factly poking her tongue out at Drew.
"That is not the point, we have seen nothing but trees for at least the past few days" Drew said annoyed.
"That's because we were in the Ilex forest dummy" May teased, then ran off into the meadows ahead. Up and down the hills and meadows the brunette went. May was enjoying the freedom of running and skipping with out the hazard of trees coming into your way.
"Hey wait up" Drew yelled running after the joyful coordinator girl. May did not stop running. She continued running her way through the fields carelessly. Drew continued the game of Cat and Mouse with May, chasing her up and down the hills, just as she had ran up and down those hills before him.
"Maaayyyy…" Drew whined still chasing after the crazy brunette.
May eventually came to a stop at the top of a hill. Partly because she needed to catch her breathe, and the other because she was waiting for the ever slow Drew to catch up. May stopped and stared into the distance. The outlines of Goldernrod were more defined; May could see more houses and buildings
May continued to stare into the distance still waiting for the green haired boy to make his ascent up the hill to her. May had closed her eyes, taking in the sounds of the area around them. She heard the occasional Rattata and Meowth rummaging through the fields for food, but that was about it, apart from Drew's footsteps and breathing.
DREW'S POV
May had just stopped suddenly and looked around the meadows. She looked really cute just standing like that, like an over curious Skitty, wondering everywhere. Making my way up I felt a slight breeze that brushed against my skin and began making May's hair dance slowly and smoothly and lifted her skirt weakly, but May didn't seem notice.
END POV
May was unintentionally making Drew stare in wonder at her, making blush slowly creep onto his face but left as soon as Drew reached the top of the hill.
"I see you decided to stop, tired already?" Drew mocked walking up to May's side.
"Nah, I just decided to wait for you, since you were so slow" May said casually still with her eyes closed. Drew chuckled.
"Really, I would have thought you'd be tired" Drew told her.
"Nope not tired at all" May stated and then continued walking her way to Goldernrod City, going down the hill she was atop of. May turned around to face Drew, when she got to the bottom of the hill.
"Come on Drew" May yelled out, and continued walking towards Goldernrod.
"Coming" Drew said softly.
--
May and Drew had made it to Goldernrod, and were making their way to the pokemon centre.
"Oh my god, girls Drew's here" squealed a flock of fan girls.
"Here they come" Drew sighed, stepping back a few steps. The flock of crazy Drew-obsessed fan girls swarmed over to Drew like a magnet. The green haired boy was surrounded by fan girls from all directions.
"Oh my gosh, it's you Drew" squealed one fan girl
"Will you be my boyfriend?" pleaded another
"Will you kiss me?" asked another.
Drew couldn't tell which girl was saying what, they were all squealing around him. While May stood there on here own waiting for the crowd to disappear. She didn't look like she cared but on the inside she did.
"Ok, girls, I have got to go now" Drew insisted, pulling himself out of the crowd.
"May, let's go" Drew insisted and grabbed May's arm and ran off to the pokemon centre.
--
"That was too close" Drew panted, as he was half falling on the floor in the pokemon centre from exhaustion from running.
The pokemon centre had pale green tiles stuck into the ground all around and light yellow painted walls. On one side of the pokemon centre there was a line of green coloured video phones, for trainers and coordinators or travelers to use when ever they wanted. There were maroon polyester covered seats and couches around the room in various places as well the usual front desk where you would usually find Nurse Joy.
"Whatever" said May, trying to catch her breathe. May the turned to the front desk where Nurse Joy was and walked up to the nurse.
"Hello Nurse Joy, could you take care of my pokemon and let them rest a bit here?" May asked "O and could I also get registered for the pokemon contest and I need a room for two until the end of the pokemon contest" added May.
Nurse Joy looked up from here desk where she was writing something and looked at May cheerfully.
"Sure I'd love to. Give me your pokeballs first and I'll put them away to heal your pokemon" said Joy cheerfully receiving May's three pokeballs. Joy stood up from her chair and went to the back to put away May's pokeballs and came back quickly.
"Now let's get you registered for the pokemon contest, I'll need to see your contest pass and could you fill out this form for the contest" asked Joy handing May a sheet of paper with various question and details May had to fill in. May opened out her bag and took out her contest pass so Joy could scan it onto the computer and then started filling the signing in sheet.
"Here Nurse Joy" May said giving her the sheet and receiving her contest pass back and the key to the room her and Drew would share.
"Be back later to pick up your pokemon and enjoy your stay" Joy told May.
"Sure" May replied walking up the green tiled stairs to the room she was given.
DREW'S POV
May had just registered for the pokemon contest, got us a room and gave her pokemon to Nurse Joy for her to heal. She seemed to have ignored me about the comment I made on my fan girls. But, I really don't care.
Just like May, I went to Nurse Joy to register for the pokemon contest and get my pokemon healed. In and out, I was done and registered for the pokemon contest.
"Joy, what room did May just get" I asked Joy.
"Room 248, you staying with her?" Nurse Joy inquired
"Yea I am, thanks" I say to her and leave to find the room I was going to stay in.
--
Two four five, two four six, two four seven ha! Here it is; room 248, my room. I opened the pastel green door to find a reasonable sized room with a bunk bed, with a wooden chair and mahogany desk and a dark green couch. On the desk was a simple bed side lamp and pieces of paper and a pen. Like the rest of the pokemon centre there walls were painted a light yellow but instead of the green tiles on the floor, there was a light cream coloured carpet. Next to the door to the room was another that lead to a bathroom.
Averting my gaze to the bed I see May leaning on the head of the bed closest to the floor with an Mp3 in her hands and earphones stuck into her ears. The beds have green coloured sheets and the frames were made out of wood. May's eyes were closed and legs were tucked up near her body. She didn't even acknowledge that I stepped into the room. Her black back pack was lying next to her with it opened up.
"Hey May" I greet her.
"Hey" she said looking up at me.
"You want to train now? The contest is in a couple of weeks you know" I ask her. Turning off the Mp3 and taking the earphones out of her ears she looks at me for a second and then puts away her Mp3.
"Sure why not, I have just got to go down to Nurse Joy to get my pokemon" May tells me putting her back pack on to her back loosely and makes her way to the door.
"See ya" May says going out of the door.
"May I am going to train to" I state.
"Sure"
May left the room we were staying in and made her way down the hallway with me following her after I closed the room door. Going back down the green tiled stairs case, we do not speak a word.
END POV
"Nurse Joy are my pokemon ready to be picked up" both coordinators asked at the same time. Joy sweat dropped for a second, because they both asked the same question at once.
"Sure are, I shall just go get them" Joy excused herself. "Here you go" Joy said handing back May and Drew's pokeballs.
"Thanks" May said then left to go train.
"May, wait up" Drew whined "Thanks Nurse Joy" Drew said to Joy putting his pokeballs back on his belt and chased May to where ever it was she was going to train.
--
May and Drew had started walking around Goldernrod to find a place to train. There were buildings all around the city, big and small, it would have been rather confusing had May not known about Goldernrod before.
FLASH BACK...
"May come on honey, we have got to leave now, we're going to the Hoenn region" called out May's mother.
"Coming" called out the younger brunette.
"Mommy, why are we leaving?" asked little May.
"To start a new life" replied Caroline.
"But what about big brother Mommy? Will he come to?" asked the innocent May.
(A/N: I am making it that May has an older brother that Max doesn't really know about, because when he was like 3 years old and May was like 6; yea I know they are only 2 years difference in the really thing, but not in my story; their older brother by the name of Shaun, died in a freak accident no one knows about, when he was like 18; it's complicated, but it will eventually clear up)
"No sweetie, he will stay here" said a sad Caroline.
END FLASHBACK
"Hey Drew, I hope you don't mind, but I want to train on my own for a bit. I am going further up the north of Goldernrod, there is a park there, and I was going to train there" May excused herself starting to walk off towards the park.
"Can't I just go with you to the park up north just train in a different spot" Drew pleaded.
"Fine" May said as she waited for Drew to follow her.
All around them were mostly buildings, shopping complex, Business buildings, and home appliances; there was everything you needed in Goldernrod. Goldernrod had changed a lot from what May had remember but still had the same old pathways routes, roads, that May would travel around with her family.
May and Drew were getting closer and closer to the park, up ahead of May and Drew, there was a sign that read "NORTH PARK". They had arrived. The park was massive. On one side of the park there was nothing but bare land with tones of trainers practicing on it, with all different pokemon. On another side, there were numerous trees that made up a small forest.
There were park benches and bins at every turn you took at the park. In the centre of the park was a big pond with water pokemon swimming in it. A path way stretched through the park and around every corner to connect the park with a lot of the roads from Goldernrod.
"Ok I am going to train over there in the trees area, you can train where ever you want besides there okay" May asked trying to get rid of Drew so she could train.
"Yea whatever" Drew flicked his hair and walked off to some place where he wanted to train.
MAY'S POV
I thought I would never get rid of him; anyway time to train with Blaziken. I walked over to the trees area where I said I would be. There was nothing special about this area; it was just more away from fan girls and spectators, and it looked like an easy spot to train as well.
"Blaziken let's GO!" I yell throwing out Blaziken's pokeball.
Blaziken flew out of its pokeball and stroke a star-shaped pose. "Blaze" was all it said.
"Alright, Blaziken, you know what to do, swift and ember, then go into a spin" I instructed and Blaziken obeyed its orders. Blaziken added its own move into the routine and jumped into the air. Stars and embers were shot from Blaziken in all directions, making the stars shine a bright orange glow.
"Good, now finish up with Sky Upper Cut and hit all the stars" I tell Blaziken. Blaziken's fist glowed brightly as it powered up for a Sky Upper Cut, then it spun around and attacked all the stars making them explode into sparkles every where.
Blaziken came back onto the ground and stood in one spot silently back in the star pose it started off in.
"Excellent Blaziken, you did an excellent job" I complement Blaziken.
Again and again, Blaziken and I perform our routine and practice it as much as we could. Blaziken was getting better and better; especially its aim on the stars. Blaziken was able to hit all the stars in one swoop from Sky Upper Cut.
"You did amazing today Blaziken" I congratulate Blaziken. "You deserve some good rest" I tell it returning Blaziken returning it to the pokeball it emerged from, at the beginning of our training.
"Better find Drew, and tell him I have done for today" I mutter to myself and went around the park looking for Drew.
END POV
DREW'S POV
May had literally ditched me to go train alone. I was hoping that I would be able to train with her, to check out what her routine would be like, but I guess that wouldn't happen.
It took me a bit longer to find a good training spot but I eventually found a pretty quiet spot to train that seemed to be clear of any trainers, so it would be okay to train in. Where I had stopped was a bit close to the pond. There were water reeds growing where I was and that grass around the pond was pretty wet.
I started training Absol with different combinations experimenting on the best move set. We tried so many times to get a combination right, that by the time I had figured one out it looked like it was late afternoon.
"OK, Absol, let's GO!" I shout at Absol.
"Ab" Absol said stepping forward once again to practice the routine.
"Alright Absol-" I was stopped.
"DREWWWW! It's you!" exclaimed a rather crazy girl as she started running towards me. I assumed she was one of my fan girls. She was blonde haired, with blue eyes, she had a side fringe, and her hair was about shoulder length. Part of her hair was in a simple clip that kept the hair to one side. I didn't get to see the rest of her because almost immediately she glomped onto me sending me backwards, and making me fall down onto my back.
"EEEEEEE" screamed the blonde girl as she fell back with me.
This random blonde haired blue eyed girl who just glomped me was now on top of me in, what could be the worst position. There we were lying on the ground, with her head under my chin, her left leg hitched up to my left hip, while I was in the most uncomfortable position with this girl on top of me and I am struggling to breathe because she is on top of me. My hands and arms seemed to hug around her, with my hands touching her lower back, and my legs were far apart.
It might be a bit hard to explain to some one why we were in that position, especially if she said something totally different to what I would say. We laid there for about 5 seconds before my brain decided to kick in, and register that she was on top of me.
"Get off me" I said in an annoyed tone taking me hands of my back and using my elbows to lean on to look at her. I mean how dare she just glomp me without my consent.
"Whoops, sorry" she says innocently looking into me, her face only centimetres away from my face. The blonde starts getting up, she for some reason puts her knee in between my legs, her hands move towards my head, and she presses down on her hands; slowly this girl gets up.
"So, who are you?" I ask getting up myself. As soon as I get up I look at her in the eye while brushing the dirt off my clothing.
"Me? I'm Becky, and I am like your number 1 fan" squealed the girl called Becky. Since I finally look up and down her, I see that she is wearing really short black shorts which have pockets on each side of her body. The black shorts are accompanied by a white belt that is tied up instead of using a buckle. Her top is just a simple apricot singlet shirt that has small pink flower buttons going down the chest of the shirt in the centre. To finish the attire off she has many bracelets that chime when hit on each arm and hoop earrings.
"Right; and I assume since you are my biggest fan you want something from me?" I ask Becky.
"You bet" started Becky "Ok, I want like an autograph in my autograph book, and then a like want a kiss from you on the lips, real passionate if you know what I mean "she said to me winking "And the like finally you will be MY boyfriend for like forever" Becky finished.
"Ugh, another one of these fans" I thought looking at her weirdly.
"Alright, Becky, I will give you an autograph later I am training right now, but the other two, no way, not in your life" I state.
"OMG! Drew your pokemon is heaps strong, you're like the best" Becky said looking at Absol starry eyed.
"Can I watch you train? Please? Pretty please with cherries on top" Becky begged fluttering her eyes.
"Fine, but don't get in my way" I say to her so I could continue with training. I turn back to face Absol and get ready to start training. Becky goes down to sit on the grass right neat where I was standing with Absol and watched my every move.
"Drew" called a voice. I turn around to see May standing there, "what is she doing her" I wonder.
"Hey May" I greet. Becky stands up and walks over to me and May.
"Oi, you, Drew was like about to like train, so like don't interrupt, and like f--- off" Becky interrupts "Plus why would he be speaking to a you?" Becky questioned.
"Oh, sorry, you are?" May ask politely turning to Becky.
"The name is Becky or Bec; now stop talking and leave; Drewsy needs to train" Becky says.
"Drewsy? DREWSY?! Great I got myself a nickname, ugh!" I thought unhappily.
"Ok, right, sorry Becky, I am sorry for interrupting Drewsy's training but I just came to see Drew and tell him I am going" May informed.
"Why would he need to know, your plans? You are nothing special" says Becky
At that point, I could swear I saw something inside May rip into pieces and was ready to tear apart Becky from limb to limb, but she didn't. That really amazed me. She brushed it off. May left waving her hand up in air.
"Ok, see you later May, bye" I wave to her as she starts to leave the park back towards the pokemon centre.
END POV
MAY'S POV
"Ugh, what was with that Becky person? she was really weird" I thought walking back to the pokemon centre and out of the park.
I was a little annoyed that Becky just kept throwing insults at me for no reason.
"It has been a while since I have walked these streets" I mumble to myself waking past the biggest department store in Goldernrod. Looking around I see more new buildings, then there were last time, more and more houses all around.
According to mom and dad, we still owned our house in Goldernrod, just in case we wanted to move back to Goldernrod, and the Johto region, or that the gym in Hoenn didn't go as well as planned, but my parents didn't want to come back, not now not ever. But I did.
FLASH BACK…
The younger May was now on her way, moving to Hoenn, pleading to go back to Johto where she belonged.
"Mommy, please can we go back?" pleaded the young brunette.
"No sweetie, we are going to start a new life in you life here, it will be an experience" said younger Caroline kindly.
Little May didn't know much better, she believed her parents.
END FLASH BACK
I believed them, that it was just to start a new life, but it wasn't always for the best. I was so alone in school, and in Hoenn. I know now that, Mom and dad just moved to Hoenn to escape Johto, they didn't want anything to do with Johto after the accident with Shaun.
END POV
It had been almost 5 years since Shaun had passed away but she still didn't want to move on, even though it appeared she didn't even care when Shaun left the world and left her, she never cried, never mourned, never whimpered with the lost of her brother.
Shaun was her best friend, and he left. May was the closest to him, and he was the closest to her, Shaun never left may alone for long, and he was always there for here But he promised that he would stay, but he lied, he promised he would always be there for her, but he lied, he promised everything would be okay, but again he lied, she hated him for it but missed because of it. Tears starting trailing down May's cheek slowly, the brunette trying hard to keep the tears from coming down.
--
May arrived back at the pokemon centre with stained cheeks and blood shot eyes; her heart had given in and she cried all the way back to the pokemon centre.
May walked into the pokemon centre and up the green tiled stairs to her room she was staying in. Slowly May passed the rooms before she arrived at her own. Quietly May unlocked the door to her room and threw her black back pack onto the olive green covered bed she was in earlier and went into the bathroom in the room to wash her face and get a drink.
The bathroom was small in size but big enough to fit a bathtub and shower and a basin with a mirror in it. The bathtub extended to wall from the door to the other side of the bathroom, above the bathtub there was a shower head and taps. On the opposite side of the bathtub was the basin, which like the mirror stretched from the wall with the door to the opposite wall. Above the basin the mirror sat. In between the bathtub and basin, opposite the door that lead into the bathroom, there was another door leading to the toilet.
"Splash, splash, splash" May let the cool water just soak into her face and wash away the stains. May felt much better now, she looked better too. Looking into the mirror, May could see her eyes were no longer puffy or red and the stains on her cheeks were gone. May smiled, she looked better then she did before. May was calmer then before, and decided on going down to get a drink from the pokemon centre cafeteria. May walked out of the bathroom, back into her room and picked up her back pack then left her room and locked it.
May walked down the stairs quietly and started to move towards the cafeteria when Drew walked into the pokemon centre.
"Hey May" Drew called out. May froze at the sound of his voice, and the fact that he had called her. Reluctantly May turned around to face Drew.
"Hey" the brunette said as calmly as possible. Hoping that he wouldn't notice the fact her eyes were still slightly red.
Drew looked directly into May's eyes, he saw the sapphire coloured eyes had dulled and there was no life in them, the only other colour he could see was a slight bit of red.
"What's-" Drew was about to ask May what's wrong but he got interrupted by a piercing voice.
"Drewsy where are you?" Asked Becky as she walked into the pokemon centre. Shifting her eyes around Becky had spotted Drew. "There you are" Becky screamed with glee.
"What are you doing with that freak again? You can do so much better "Becky asked Drew. Drew turned around to see the blonde girl running up to him.
"I just am" Drew said
"But you could be with me" Becky insisted.
"Well if it makes you feel better, I am going to the cafeteria anyway, so good bye" May waved off as she sped into the cafeteria for a bottle of water.
--
May went into the cafeteria and got a bottle of water from a vending machine and made her way towards the buffet table.
The room was coloured the same as the rest of the pokemon centre, green and yellow. There were tables and chairs set up all around the hall. May saw a whole lot of food lined up in rows, tonight it was buffet night. May walked back over to the food and grabbed a plate and went over to the spaghetti. First she scooped out a couple of scoops of noodles and then went the meat ball sauce and scooped out some over her plate of spaghetti.
"Yum" May thought as she made her way to a table which already had cutlery on it. May sat down on one of the chairs near a table and started to eat some of her spaghetti and meatballs. Slowly the brunette twirled her fork in the noodles and scooped out some bringing the food to her mouth. Just as the food reached her mouth Drew came into the cafeteria and walked up to May.
"What was with you before?" Drew asked.
May looked up at Drew and let her spaghetti fall down the fork back onto the plate.
"I don't know what you are talking about" May lied. Drew raised an eyebrow at her.
"I don't believe that, you were fully out of it, not to mention there was red in your eyes" Drew said matter-of-factly.
"I was just thinking, and what do you mean by red? A flame?" May started to play dumb.
"You know what I mean" Drew said starting to get annoyed and looked down at her.
"Hey Drew" greeted Becky sending a death stare to May. May didn't look up at Becky because she was about to eat some spaghetti but she felt a shiver go down her spine as Becky sent her a death stare. May hadn't eaten anything since she gotten into Goldernrod, and was hungry but now she had lost her appetite.
"Ugh too many interruptions" May thought as she was once again stopped by some one while trying to eat.
"What are you doing here, stalking Drew I assume?" asked Becky
"I just came here to eat, if you have not noticed" May replied pointing down to her plate of spaghetti.
"Ahh...Right eating carbs, that'll make you fat, well not that you aren't fat already" Becky mocked.
"Look, I just came to eat, I don't care about carbs or anything because technically all foods no matter what you eat will have carbs in it" stated May.
"Whatever, you're still going to end up fatter and uglier then before" Becky insulted.
Drew could see that May was becoming annoyed even if she didn't show it, he ought to know when she is annoyed for all the times he has bugged her. He was about to stop Becky when May stopped this little argument herself.
"Ugh! If it makes you feel any better, I will stop eating, doesn't matter anyway I have lost my appetite" May yelled at her normal tone and picked up her plate and tossed the spaghetti into the bin and put the plate onto a stack for dirty plates and left the cafeteria.
Drew watched May walk out of the cafeteria and up the stairs to their bedroom.
--
May walked up to her room and placed her bag neatly down on to the floor next to her bed. She flopped onto the bed and sighed, "Why that week, why not the week before? Why not the week after?" She questioned. May was referring to the death of her brother, the anniversary was on the same day as the contest, it would be hard to do some stuff then, every year on that day, she felt the world against her, and the beginning of if was starting to show with Becky just appearing out of now where. Bad carma? May be just bad luck, or something worse like that.--
The door to May and Drew's room opened.
"May" Drew whispered as he turned on the light expecting to see May there. May turned her head up.
"Yea?" May replied.
"Are you ok?" Drew asked.
"Yea I'm fine" May said fake cheerily, but not sarcasm.
"You don't look fine, what's wrong?" Drew questioned.
"Nothing" May lied, there was something, she was upset.
"Really? Then why were you crying before?" Drew badgered.
"I wasn't crying" May insisted.
There was silence between the two of them; it stayed quiet in the room until May's stomach broke the silence. It made a loud grumbling sound, May was getting hungry.
"Why don't you come down to get something to eat with me, I am sure you are hungry" Drew offered.
"Sure" May said kindly, and got up from the bed and walked out of the room with Drew. Going back down the stair case and into the open space; there were no sights or sounds of Becky. She was hopefully gone.
May and Drew made their way back to the cafeteria and grabbed a plate of spaghetti each. Slowly the two ate the plates of spaghetti, twirling their forks into the plate of spaghetti. Soon the spaghetti was finished and the two coordinators made their way to their rooms to retire for the night. Quickly May and Drew fell asleep.
DREAM SEQUENCE
A chestnut haired, sapphire blue eyed girl is walking out of the gymnastics dome
(A/N: Yea I don't know if May does gymnastics, but she is now) , after a full day of training with her coach. She was 6 years old, but still very talented. Younger May wanted to continue gymnastics the rest of her life, her brother loved to see her perform and that was the main reason she would continue gymnastics just to make her brother happy, but she also wanted to become a pokemon trainer like her Shaun. Shaun was a pokemon league champion, he won every battle with amazing talent, like his father the Goldernrod City gym leader would usually.
Shaun, like every other day May had gymnastics training came to pick his little sister up with a smile on his face and a small bouquet of flowers. He would always bring flowers, usually bright red roses. May loved roses every time Shaun had bought them for her. May ran up and hugged her brother. Shaun was tall; from May's point of view; and masculine, his hair was a dark brown with a slight tinge of oranges and blacks. He was wearing simple clothing today, a white t-shirt with 3 different coloured thin stripes across the chest horizontally and plain black pants. His shoes were black trainers.
"Hiya Shaun" May sad cutely looking up to her older brother.
"Hey May, how are you?" Shaun greeted as he picked up little May in his arms and gave her a big hug.
"I am good" May said with a big smile hugging her big brother back. May received the bouquet of flowers from Shaun as she was put back down onto the ground.
"Come on lets go" Shaun said to May as they started waking their way down the road back to the Goldernrod Gym to say hi to their father and then go home.
--
Quickly the two passed the gym and said hello to Norman and then left for home.
--
"Hey mom we're home" Shaun called out to their mother who was in the back preparing dinner.
"Hey Shaun, hey May- I am in the kitchen" Caroline called out.
SCENE CHANGE…
May and Shaun were playing in the North Park of Goldernrod. May was it and was trying to get Shaun in a game of tag. Running around the park the two played there for hours. Suddenly there were a few gunshots and Shaun looked around to where it was coming from. No one was around, but crowds were running from the park.
"BANG, BANG, BANG!!" more bullets were being fired. May started running up to Shaun.
"What's going on big brother?" May asked scared cuddling into Shaun.
"I don't know May" Shaun said leaning down to May so he could carry May.
"I'm scared, what is going to happen?" asked an even more frightened May then before.
"Don't worry, it will be ok, I'll be here no matter what. I won't leave you, I promise" comforted Shaun. Picking up May Shaun carried her out of the park while running.
"Altaria come on out" Shaun called as he released the blue and white bird pokemon from the pokeball. Its wings were fluffy and soft as it flew right in front of Shaun.
"Take May home and get her out of here" ordered Shaun as he put May on to Altaria.
"Wait big brother what about you?" asked a concerned May.
"I'll be okay" Shaun reassured "Altaria get her out of here" commanded Shaun again. Altaria started flying higher and higher but May wouldn't have it and started to pout.
"Altaria go back, we have to get big brother" begged May
"Altaria keep going" shouted Shaun
"Go back" pleaded May
"Go home" Shaun ordered again.
The poor bird pokemon became very confused going back and forth and decided to please both and went up higher, so May wouldn't get hurt, but they could still she Shaun.
All of a sudden dark silhouettes of 3 men came out of the shadows and shot at Shaun, the first two missed, but the last hit right on the mark. The bullet went straight through Shaun's heart and blood splattered everywhere.
"SHHAAUUUUUUNNNNNNN!" May screamed from above. The men heard May's scream and started firing at her and Altaria. Altaria immediately knew what was happening and used protect so it and May would be safe, then flew down closer to Shaun, eventually reaching the ground. May jumped off Altaria and ran straight to Shaun.
"Wake up big brother, wake up!" May pleaded as she shook the dead body. Her hands were becoming covered in blood as she continued to shake Shaun. He was dead.
END DREAM SQUENCE
"SHHAAAUUNNNNNN" May screamed sitting up in her bed. May was panting hard, her eyes looked scared and terrified; May was covered in sweat and seemed to be still trying to figure what was going on.
"May, are you alright?" Drew asked concerned as he jumped down from his bed and turned on the lamp. Slowly Drew moved towards May and sat on her bed.
"Yea, I'm fine, just a bad dream" she said still scared. May looked on the clock in their room, it read 3 am.
"May, you don't look ok, why don't you go back to sleep?" Drew suggested.
"I don't feel like going to sleep, I'll stay up for a bit" May insisted.
"Ok, but try and get some sleep" Drew said trying to comfort May.
DREW'S POV
She must have had a pretty bad dream. She was stirring all around in her bed. Wonder what she was dreaming about. Morning will come son; that should ease May's mind. I jump back up to my bed and attempt to sleep, but it is proving difficult.
Soon I heard a whimper and May started shuffling in her bed.
"May you sure you are ok?" I ask her looking down at her from my bed.
"Yea I am fine" stuttered May.
END POV
Morning soon arrived and May became more relieved as she got out of her bed to go have a shower. While Drew was still was asleep. While May was in the shower, some one was knocking at the door.
"DREWSY!!! I am here!" called out a voice from the other side of the door. Drew shuddered in his sleep, he knew who it was, the green haired boy didn't really want to answer it, who would have thought, a girl like her up that early.
Drew got up and jumped off his bed and went to greet the person at the door. Slowly Drew opens the door. Opening the door it reveals a flirting blonde. Becky greeted him with a glomp like she did yesterday, but this time Drew was prepared sort if and held her back.
"Hey Becky what are you doing here?" Drew asked.
"I asked Nurse Joy what room you were in and I came to say good morning to you" Becky said innocently.
"Right"
Just then the door to the bathroom opens to reveal May standing there with everything like it was the night before except her hair was wet and she smelled and looked nicer.
Becky was the first to react like to this situation.
"What the f--- is this freak doing in here? Are you like stalking him or something?" Becky asked.
"No, I do not stalk him, this is my room, I have been paying for it" May said casually coming out of the bathroom moving to her bed.
"Then why is Drewsy here?" Becky asks turning to me.
"Because Drewsy and I have been traveling together, and we are friends" May said a matter-of-factly while she was putting on her trainers.
"How are you, a friend of Drewsy's?" Becky asked May.
"Don't ask me, ask him" May said pointing to Drew, Becky immediately glares at the poor green eyed boy.
"Well because she is" Drew answered simply.
"Wha?" Becky asked dumbstruck.
"Well, while you two sort your problems out I have got places to be, things to do" May said as she headed for the door.
May turned around when she was at the door.
"By the way Becky, if you think I am fat then you must be obese" May teased.
"Ouch! Score one for May" Drew thought as May waved bye.
It took a bit longer for Becky to process what May had just said, but when she finally did she was about to insult May when Becky realized May had left.
"How dare she call me fat, and how dare she leave before I insult her back" pouted Becky.
"Get back here you" Becky called running after May, and Drew ran after Becky.
Drew followed Becky out of the pokemon centre to find that May blended in with the crowds around them. She was no where in sight. How could she have disappeared so quickly? Drew was betting that she doesn't even know her way around this place; she will be really lost now.
MAY'S POV
I got my revenge on Becky, hope she realizes never to mess with me. Those two would eventually find me but in the mean time, I am just going to look around Goldernrod for a while, I wonder how much has changed, because it has been like ages since I have been here.
END POV
May seemed to walk around for a while before passing by her old house. There was no change. The two story house appeared to be stopped in time, as well as moving with it. The house it self had not actually changed, the roof was still the same old terracotta tiled and coloured roof.
The bricks were still smooth and a very light creamy colour. The windows seemed a bit dirty, but they were still the same shape, some rounded and others square or rectangular. Curtains from the inside were down and covering what was inside. The plants, flowers and trees were all dead outside of the house, the only thing left were the pots they were in or the flower beds.
--
May was eventually found in an ice cream shop in the main shopping district.
The door opens with Drew and Becky stepping into the cool shop. The two wait for May to receive her ice cream and turn around to face them.
"Okay that's $4.50 for that miss." Says a man at the counter of the ice cream shop as he and May exchange money for ice cream.
"Thanks" May says as she receives the ice cream she ordered. Turning around May saw a very annoyed Drew and an extremely ****** Becky.
"Hiya" May greets cutely.
"Where the heck have you been?" Drew asked.
"Nice way to greet people Drew, but I think you might want to work on it" May mocked.
"Right, now, where were you?" Drew repeated as the three walked out of the ice cream shop into a random but nicely placed park.
(A/N: Goldernrod has a lot of parks XD )
"Places, let's see, I went to the other side of the shopping district, looked at some homes randomly, and went here" May listed while licking her ice cream.
"Right… I bet you got lost" Drew mocked.
"You loose that bet then" May said matter-of-factly.
"Really? Then how did you get around this big place without getting lost?" Drew inquired.
"I have my ways, for one the pokenav" May stated.
"Ahem" Becky butted in, obviously not liking being ignored.
"Yes?" May asked bluntly.
"I am sorry but it's so unlike you to carry or use your pokenav" interrupted Drew.
"Your point is?" May questioned.
"How the heck did you get around?" Drew asked again.
(A/N: yes Becky is still there, I am juts ignoring her right now…hehe >3 )
"If it makes you feel any better, I know my way around Goldernrod ok" sighed May "that would explain why I was able to find my way to the North Park so easily yesterday, if you recall" May said matter-of-factly.
"Well you could have told me in first place, then I wouldn't of had to attempt to find you all day in this massive city, thinking that you would most likely be lost" Sighed Drew.
"Well can we please go back to the pokemon centre, now? After looking for you, I am getting pretty tired" Drew pleaded.
"Go ahead, I am going to look around a bit more" May said finishing her ice cream.
"Oh no you don't, you're coming back with me!" Drew insisted dragging May along towards the pokemon centre.
"Get off" May snapped "I am not some little kid! I know this city well enough to not get lost in it, and I will make my way back on my own, so leave me alone!" May yelled stopping Drew from dragging her back.
"May! Come on it's late, I mean look up at the sky, it's pretty late" Drew said pointing up at the sky. It was starting to get darker, with only the slightest tint of colour from the sunset left.
"I don't care, I know my way around, don't worry, I will just be a little longer" May said calmly.
"If you are going to be a little longer, then I will come with you" Drew suggested.
"No I will be fine without you" May insisted.
"I insist I come"
"No"
"Yes"
"No-" May got interrupted by Becky.
"Why do you want to go with her anyway?" Becky questioned, seeming a little jealous.
"Because I am curious to see where she wants to go" Drew replied smoothly.
"Why aren't you curious to where I go?" Becky asked
"Because you follow me around like a Poochyena on a leash" Drew said matter-of-factly.
"OMG! Drew you are so smart!!" Becky squealed randomly and glomped onto Drew.
Slowly May was making her escape from the green haired boy and the blonde girl.
"A little more, just a bit more, slowly, slowly" May thought edging away from the two. The brunette had made it at least 5 meters away from Drew and Becky when she accidentally stepped on a stick, causing it to crack and make a large cracking sound emitted from May. Immediately Drew and Becky look up from their conversation/ hugging session to May who was beginning to feel a little nervous.
"MAY!" Drew shouted "Get back here" Drew said pointing to the ground near his feet.
"Never!" May hissed at him and started running off.
"May" Drew whined, "Come back" he pleaded chasing after the brunette.
The three chased after each other down the streets of Goldernrod, going down one street and up the next the trio eventually passed by May's house. May didn't intentionally run into this house or direction, if anything she was going to avoid it as much as possible while she was here, but it was inevitable, the house caught up with her and she found it.
May slowly slowed down before the house and stared at it in awe.
Drew eventually caught up with May, stopping where she had stopped, and looked at the house the brunette was staring at. It didn't seem that special to him, nothing fancy about it, the house was in tact while the garden wasn't.
"May?" Drew looked at her with concern.
"Oi May" Drew called to her waving his hand in front of her face.
"Huh?" May asked looking at Drew.
"You know the people who live in this house or something?" Drew asked after Becky finally caught up with May and Drew.
"Can you guys not do that? I am not made to run that long" Becky whined who finally caught up with May and Drew.
"Yea sure" Drew replied.
"Well I guess you could say that, Drew" May said walking away from the house towards the pokemon centre.
--
May and Drew arrived at the pokemon centre moments later after they had gone by Becky's house and parted ways there.
"So May, who lives in that house?" Drew asked as they walked into the pokemon centre.
"Just some people" May said glumly.
"Oh"
"Well I am going to bed, I am a little tired right now" May yawned as she retired back up to their room.
"Ok May, good night" Drew waved off.
"Night" May yawned again as she walked up the stair case.
May unlocked the room to their door, and went straight for her bed. May didn't bother placing her bag down on the floor and just tossed it onto the head of the bed next to her pillow. May sat down on the bed and took off her trainers and socks then sank into the covers of the bed.
DREAM SEQUENCE
Younger May is being escorted back to her home while her parents take care of all the business, after the murder of Shaun. The murderers were never caught, and seemed to vanish into thin air. It was decided that Shaun's pokemon would be kept with Norman and Caroline in their pokeballs, or however else they choose, but they are not to be used in formal battling ever again, unless to help some one, they weren’t their pokemon after all.
May watched her mother and father as she was driven away back home to where a babysitter was waiting for her to arrive back home.
"Hello May" greeted the babysitter. She had long, purple hair that was tied back into a ponytail. She was wearing simple jeans and a white t-shirt.
May looked up at the babysitter, looking like she was about to cry, wanting sympathy, she was on the verge of tears when the baby sitter picked her up and carried her into the bathroom to be cleaned up.
Fifteen minutes later May was cleaned up wearing a fresh set of clothes. She was placed down in front of the TV and left there to watch it. May didn't feel like watching TV and walked up stairs to her bedroom. May was getting really tired and wanted to sleep, but her head just wouldn't allow it, the little girl was still taking in what had just happened with her brother. She was twisting and turning but never actually slept.
May was upset with the death of her brother, and tears were once again forming. Tears were now pouring out of her eyes, forming rivers down her cheeks.
"May where are you?" called out the babysitter. The babysitter was worried she had lost little May while she was fixing dinner.
"There you are" the babysitter said relieved to find May in her room. May looked up at the babysitter with tear covered eyes.
"Ok enough with the crying, what has happened has happened and tears don't solve anything" the babysitter said bluntly.
"But…" whined May.
"No buts" scolded the babysitter "Crying is weak; now stop it" said the babysitter harshly.
"Come it is time to eat" ordered the babysitter as she picked May up and took her downstairs to eat.
May eventually stopped crying after 3 or 4 more times of the babysitter scolding her, telling her to stop crying and that it was weak. May wanted to cry, but she didn't. The little brunette figured if she didn't cry, she wouldn't be weak, and if she wasn't weak she would have made her big brother happy.
She never really intentionally cried again.
(A/N: Ignore all times May has cried in the series please, I am trying to create something here)
