Thanx for the reviews and stuff everyone.^^
Ok, heres the next 2 chapters. For those who were saying it needed more length, you'll be happy to know the first ones a bit longer, but the catch is second one is tiny.
3: What Do You Know?
May and her friends had explored Ambarona’s shops and stores. They had filled up on supplies and May had tried to sweet talk the boys into buying her stuff with little success.
After they had gone back to the small area where they had been training earlier in the small green. May had trained her beautifly some more. The guys had to admit she had improved hugely since her first contests. The techniques and skills she had learned had not gone to waste. She was feeling more confident than ever that she had nothing to worry about.
As the afternoon went by, Ash, Brock and Max got tired of watching May train. Ash was hungry and wanted something to eat.
May however was enjoying herself too much to stop and told the others she would meet them back at the pokemon centre, where they were staying.
It was now late afternoon. The blue of the sky had deepened slightly and the wind had picked up. The small place she was practising was surprisingly empty; though May expected they were all out looking for something to eat. All except one.
In the shadows behind the trees eyes were watching May, judging May and reading her inner most thoughts. Suddenly though, there was a sharp snap from behind May and whatever was watching her. The thing disappeared, as Drew came, unaware, through the trees. May had also heard the twig snap beneath the boys feet, and she spun round.
‘Drew?’
Drew snapped out of his daze and looked up, surprised. He had thought May would be gone by now. And whatsmore, she was alone with no other boys around. ‘Training I see May.’
Drew leaned against a tree, the same tree in fact, that he had been leaning against watching her before. He stared up at the sky.
Drew’s mysterious aura intriged May.
‘So Drew, why are you here?’ May asked.
Drew shrugged. ‘No reason, it’s a free country people can walk where they want.’
May was slightly irritated by Drews answer, but chose to ignore it. ‘So why aren’t you training Drew? I thought you would spend all the time you had on your pokemon.’
‘I’ve been training hard all day non stop, for your information.’ Drew replied.
Not true, thought May, you weren’t training when you walked into that café eirlier.
‘Anyway,’ Drew continued. ‘I wanted to give me and my pokemon a break.’
They stood in silence for a while. May seemed slightly uncomfortable and searched for a subject to talk about. Drew however, seemed completely at ease, and stood calmly looking up at the sky.
From a little way a way, in a different patch of trees, the eyes had returned, watching both of them now.
Drew was the first to break the silence. ‘So, you think your ready for the contest yet?’ he asked, keeping his eyes averted upwards.
‘I hope so,’ May answered honestly.
‘You need more confidence in yourself,’ Drew advised.
May raised her eyebrows. ‘Like you, you mean?’
Drew smiled. ‘Yeah, like me.’
May smiled too. ‘Well, I don’t want to overdo it and become over-cofident, do I?’
May’s remark had been intended as a joke, but Drew was offended by it. ‘And what do you mean by that?’
May looked at him surprised, realising he hadn’t got the meaning of her joke. She shook her head ‘Nothing.’
Drew had now taken his eyes of the sky overhead, and was looking directly at May. There seemed to be some sort of spark in them that hadn’t been there before.
Seeing May hadn’t meant any harm, Drew sighed. ‘Well I’m ready for the contest,’ he replied.
‘Well I’m not so sure. But it sure is a lot of help to have so many people behind me, cheering me on and encouraging me. Do you have anyone to cheer you on Drew, apart from the MFP girls?’
Drew shook his head. ‘Don’t need it. I’m fine on my own.’
‘Really? I thought, because of you being so famous and all, you’d have tons people by your side to cheer for you. I mean, I know you Drew and you seem to like attention like that. Doesn’t your family even try to see your contests?’ May immediately knew that she’d said something wrong, because Drew suddenly stood up straight at the word ‘family’. His expression changed completely.
‘No, they don’t, and I’m glad. And I don’t like attention, I prefer my own company. And you don’t know anything about me. So don’t say you do.’
‘Sorry,’ May mumbled, astounded by Drews amazing mood change.
‘Well see you at the contest then,’ Drew said, turning and walking back through the trees.
May stared at his back in confusion. Then she too retreated through the trees, away from the green, no longer wanting to train.
Back in the trees, the creature who had been watching stared out. Then it to turned to depart, leaving the quiet green completely empty and deserted.
4: The Wish
May found that she had woundered back to the fountain. She sighed, leaned against the tall wall of the fountain, and shut her eyes.
The fountain of Femieday is very wide and very big, with a tall wall going round it. In the middle was a worn grey statue of the psycick pokemon its self, spouting a fall of water from its mouth. The wall was tall enough, and the sides were wide enough to prevent two people standing at opposite sides of the fountain from seeing each other. This may be why May hadn’t noticed the other person standing directly opposite her.
***
Drew sighed. He couldn’t believe how he’d acted towards May back in the green. He knew she hadn’t meant anything in a bad way. It wasn’t her fault she didn’t know how it would affect him. She was acting so nice to you, and then you blew it!
But how could she say she knew him? She didn’t really know anything about Drew.
Well, at least I’d like to know more about her. Drew thought. I wish I could understand her. ***
May sighed. Why was Drew such a puzzle? She just didn’t get him. And what was with him, She thought, recapping over what had just happened. Drew had a sudden mood change, just because May was teasing him. And he seemed to take May’s statement of ‘knowing him’ personally. But then again, thought May, I guess I don’t really know much about him.
I wish I could understand him.
***
By now it was evening and the sky was a fiery kaleidoscope of colour. To the east, the horizon could just be seen, with its amber, crimson and auburn. Far off to the west the sky was already darkening to indigo.
From the shadows to the side of the fountain, the out line of a pokemon could be seen.
‘Femie,’ it said, as it looked out and used its psycick ability to read the thoughts of the two humans. It knew what to do.
Femieday started to glow slightly. Its statue in the middle of the fountain also started glowing, but May and Drew were too deep in their own thoughts to notice. After a few seconds the light faded away and everything returned to normal, with both these two people oblivious. Femieday turned round and started to walk back through the trees towards the sunset.
They will get what they wish.
