Zuki Region (Contestshipping)

[HarleyScarow]

Oh my god! With all of the things that I had to do in school so far, I'm surprised that I have the time to do this at all! As with most people in the Fan Fiction area, this is contestshipping with May and Drew in the Zuki Region. Don't worry, I brung back old favorites like Misty, Brock, and Max, even Team Rocket is back on the scene! But they don't appear every show like in the anime- They're simply rivals that appear at times during the season, since I want a different idea for every Pokemon Contest.

That's right . . . There is a new bad-guy organization in this anime series, and the leader of it may shock you. I think that I should spoil it for you as this should be like, the commercial for the season . . . The leader is Harley! Yes, Harley is my favorite Pokemon human character from the anime series. He has an entire team of staff that he hired that constantly try to beat May and Drew during their adventures throughout the Zuki Region.

Here's the prolouge for you, which is when May and Drew realize that they got tickets to travel to the Zuki Region from an unknown person . . .

Rated: PG-13 because of something very evil that happens later.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The scene takes place two months after the last grand festival that May and Drew were in, the Orchida Festival in the Contesta region. It is a cold, winter day in the Hoenn region, where May is presently living with her family in the Petalburg Gym.

"It's so cold," May complained, "And I'm so bored!"

"What's the matter, dear?" May's mom asked her, whose name was Caroline, "You could go outside and play with Max, I mean, he just got home from his adventures in the Hoenn region ever since he became a trainer of his own."

"No mom. It's freezing outside," May replied, "And Max was always serious before he became a Pokemon Trainer. Now that he's a successful one, he's going to become an even more serious person, and you know how I hate people that don't hang loose."

"I guess that you have nothing better to do," Caroline smiled, "Maybe something will come up soon and then you'll have a place to go."

*DING DONG!* The door bell ringed.

Caroline had a curious face on, "Hmm...I wonder who could it be?" She came to the door and then opened it. There was a man in a brown cloak with purple hair and a green hat on; He was strangely familiar, "And who might you be?"

The man chuckled, "I'm a friend of a friend- That's what you can consider me as," he said in a girlish voice. It was a girly voice, but it was still close enough to be a man, "I have a letter for your daughter, May."

Caroline giggled, "Are you a boy or a girl?"

The man in the cloak suddenly got all serious and had a red face. He removed his cloak, and it revealed Harley! "I'm a boy...What do you think?"

Caroline laughed more, "It wasn't supposed to be a serious question- I was kidding! Now what did you say that you came here for?"

Harley's face became less red, "I have a letter here for May- Can you give it to her for me?"

"Sure, Ill give it to her right away . . . It's nothing so bad, now is it?"

"Of course not, Caroline! I would never try to do something like that to your dear and perfect daughter! And don't tell her that it was me that gave the letter to her, okay? Keep this on the DL for me, okay? We can't have anybody ruining the surprise for her, now can we?"

"Of course not, Harley. But how come you don't want me to tell May that you gave this letter to her?" Caroline asked, "I mean, you're one of her friends so I think that she should at least know that it was from you, right Harley?" Caroline was always one of the forgiving people and she didn't think of Harley as a bad-guy even though he lied and cheated May many times in the past and even tried to rape her once when she was in the Contesta region! She was so forgiving that it was dangerous.

Harley laughed hysterically, "Oh how can I even think of doing something like that to her? Lying to her that somebody gave her a letter that she doesn't know who gave it? That's horrible. But that's not the point. Can you give it to her as a surprise? I'm sure that she'll find out that the letter was from me eventually. Pretty please? Pretty please?" Harley was on the ground pretend-begging Caroline.

"Of course Harley."

"Oh really?" Harley got all peppy, "Thank you so much for doing me this favor!" He ran off into the snowy areas until he was out of sight.

"Aren't you cold, Harley?" Caroline was always concerned about everybody's welfare, even if that person wasn't a part of the family, "Oh well...Harley told me not to tell May that it was from him. I might as well read it to see if it is something appropriate for her." Caroline opened the letter, and it revealed a sheet of paper with a green-tone color on it. She began reading it and this is what the letter said:




Dear May,

I think that you know who this letter is from!
It's me! I want to keep you guessing who sent this mail so that you can be that much more surprised when you find out who sent it. Happy times, right?

Have you ever heard of the Zuki region?
I heard that you're freezing cold from the winter in the Hoenn Region right now so I thought, why not give you free tickets so that you can go to the Zuki region?
The scenary there is awesome and it is summer all year long there- Don't you think that's cool? Well, not as cool as the Hoenn Region since it's freezing cold over there but you get what I mean.

Have fun there! And yeah, there's nothing but Pokemon Contests in that region like the Contesta Region so if you want to go and have fun, feel free to! All you have to do is meet me in Dewford Town so that we can take the S.S Atlanta there.


Your friend,
You know who




"Hmm..." Caroline murmured, "What am I thinking? Why am I mumbling? I'm so jealous of May? She gets to go to a region that's summer all year long and I have to freeze to death here in the Hoenn Region? I shouldn't do anything to ruin this wonderful moment that May is going to receive so I might as well give this to her!" Caroline said with rising excitement for May.

She walked into the Petalburg City Gym, "May? Where are you? I have some super good news for you!"

May ran into the living room where Caroline was right now, "Anything's better than what's going on right now. So what do you have for me?"

Caroline gave May the letter and the ticket that was attached to it.

"What's this?" May wondered, "It looks like a letter."

"It is," Caroline replied, "Open it!"

May did as her mom asked of her, "Dear May..." She began reading it outloud and when she was finished with the letter, she got all excited, "Yay! A trip to the Zuki region might be a fun one!"

"I knew that you would be happy if you read that letter I gave you," Caroline said, "Are you going to get ready so that you can go to that region?"

May laughed, "Of course!" She ran to her bedroom, which was on the left side of the Gym's Arena and immediately startrf packing her stuff, "I can't wait till I get to that region! Anything's better than the Hoenn Region, with all the snow there and such."

Max was walking down the hallway when he saw May, which he then walked into the room, "What are you doing, May?"

May was easily annoyed by Max, even if it was an innocent question, "Packing up, what do you think?"

Max reached down and picked up the ticket that was on the floor, "Ohh...I see what you mean. You're going to the Zuki Region, aren't you?"

"What do you think? You could read, right?"

"Can I come too? I mean, if you get to go on vacation, then I think that your nice little brother should get a chance to go somewhere like that also," Max got on the floor and began begging, "I got back from the Hoenn League and the least I deserve is a vacation to a nice place like the Zuki Region . . . And I miss traveling with you, May.

May looked confused, "I thought that you were going to the Orre Region next- I mean, that place is always scorching hot, so you can go there if you want to warm up, Max. And wait . . . You would never miss me, Max! And whenever you and me are together, we always end up in an immature fight!"

Max false chuckled, "Oh yeah . . . The Orre region . . . That will be a nice place to vacation..." He said fakely, "You're a great big sister and I'm sure that I don't deserve to go along with you on an adventure like that! You're the perfect bigger sister, you know that, May? And my favorite . . . "

May knew that Max would never say something like that, "Yeah right . . . Anyways, don't you have anywhere to go right now? Like pack up your stuff so that you can go to the Orre region? And what do you mean your perfect bigger sister? You're always telling me what I can do better whenever you see me compete in some kind of competition, always being so pessimistic towards me . . . Yeah, and don't say that I'm your favorite sister because I'm your only sister, in case you forgot that, Max."

Max had already left the room without telling May that he did so.

"Max? Where did you go?" May looked surprised, "What's up with that boy? Oh yeah, this is Max we're talking about."

Max was walking in the Petalburg City Gym hallway muttering to himself, "I'll get to the Zuki Region wheather May likes it or not," Max's glasses suddenly shined, Japanese anime style, "She'll regret not inviting me when I beat her in a Pokemon Contest! But how can I get into the Zuki Region without having any tickets so that I can board the ship that will take me there? That's a big problem . . . I'll have to find some way around that if I want to get back at May for not letting me come with her to the Zuki Region willingly."




In Slateport City, where Drew was in one of his many mansions that he brought from using money that he earns from his popularity and by winning Pokemon Contests, was sunbathing outside on his own personal beach with his Roselia by his side, "It's another day of boredom, right Roselia? Look at me, I"m trying to sunbath while it's winter...Isn't it sad?"

"Rose," Roselia said, agreeing.

"Yep, wish that there was something better to do than stay out here freezing all day," Drew sighed, "Wish there was a Pokemon Contest around that I can enter but it looks like non of them are open at the time . . . You think that there would be at least one open during the winter so that coordinators that are bored like me can compete in them . . . "

Roselia nodded in agreement, and in disappointment, as it always loved to compete in Pokemon Contests.

*RING RING RING!* It was Drew's phone on the inside of his mansion, "I really don't want to get up right now," Drew closed his eyes, "Look at me...I say that I want to do anything and I don't even want to get up and pick up the phone . . . "

One of Drew's maids got the phone and handed it over to him, "Here's the phone, sir," She greeted him. The phone was actually a picture-phone, the size of half of a laptop screen.

"Thank you," Drew replied as he held the phone to his ear, "Who is it?"

The person on the phone line had May's voice . . .
On the other side of the phone line, it was actually Harley holding a Voice Changer next to his mouth, a device that could let you change your voice to another person that it recorded! And not only that, but Harley changed his clothes so that it looked identical to what May wore! "Hello, is this Drew?"

"Yes it is," Drew answered, "Are you May?"

"Why yes!" Fake May replied, "And do I have a surprise for you!"

"Why did you dye your hair purple?" The purple hair is what got Drew suspicious, "And your hair is longer than usual if I do say so myself."

"Purple is the new do!" Fake May explained, "And you know, as time passes, I grow! After all, I'm still a developing teenager. That's why you can see that my body is much hotter than usual anyways!"

"I can see that," Drew wasn't buying the act, "Anyways, what could be the surprise that you wanted to tell me?"

"I just got tickets so that you can go to the Zuki Region! May-I mean myself, am going to be heading over there!" Fake May informed, "And I heard that May- I mean me, and you are bored to death from being here in the freezing winter of the Hoenn region! I certainly wouldn't want you to die of boredom, so I decided to give you this extra ticket!"

"Why do you refer to yourself as the third person?" Drew asked suspiciously, "You're more mature than that May- I known you for a long time."

"Oh silly old me," Fake May scoffed, trying to cover up the mistakes that he made, "That's May for ya, I mean me, always making grammar mistakes! Anyways it's always summer there in the Zuki Region, and yes, that's right, Pokemon Contests galore! Don't forget that we're still rivals, Drew!"

Drew stood up excited, "Really?"

"Yes, and all you have to do is meet me here at Dewford Town so that we can take the S.S Atlanta to the Zuki Region, okay?"

"Sure," Drew answered, "See ya," He hung up the phone and put his clothes back on, "What am I thinking, wearing nothing on my chest on a winter day?"

Unlike May, Drew didn't pack up like May, instead, he just left with his Pokemon. When he got to the shore of Slateport City, he threw a PokeBall that revealed Flygon, a dragonfly Pokemon.

"Flygon, can I get you to fly me to Dewford Town?" Drew asked it, "So that we can get to the Zuki Region!"

"Fly!" Drew and Roselia got on Flygon's back and in no time, they made it to Dewford Town. Flygon was supposed to be weak to the snow, it being icy, since it was a Dragon and Ground type Pokemon, but it somehow resisted the snow with no problem.

When Flygon landed on the shore of Dewford Town, Drew and Roselia got off it, "Thanks Flygon, I owe ya one," Drew returned Flygon to its PokeBall, "I wonder where May is? She was the one that asked me to come here, after all," He began scouring the snowy beaches of Dewford Town, and saw May lying on the other side of the beach.

"H-H-Hi Drew," May stumbled as she talked, "Having a-a great time here in the c-cold?"

"What happened to you?" Drew asked, "Did you swim to get to Dewford Town or something?"

May began blushing, "Y-Yeah..."

Drew shook his head, "Tsk, tsk, tsk...I thought that you had a brain cell but now I think that I take that remark back. Your bad and nothing I can do about it."

"I-I just felt like s-swimming, okay?" May got back up, "Let's go find where this ship is."

"May, there's something suspicious going on," Drew stated, "Did you give me a phone call saying that you got tickets so that we can go to the Zuki Region together so that we can have fun there?"

"Of course not!" May exclaimed, "Did you send me a letter saying that you gave me two free tickets and that one of them was for you?" She took out the tickets that came with the letter and gave one to Drew, "This is the ticket so that you can take some ship to the Zuki Region, which is in the letter that I suspiciously received from you"

Drew looked serious, "I think that this is a trap that someone set for us so that they can do something bad to us once we're on the ship."

"Or maybe someone does want us to have fun," May always looked on the bright side, "Who knows, it could have been Max that set us up like this as a prank."

Drew relaxed, "I guess you're right- I have to stop being so serious and let loose once in a while. I mean, you never think before you do anything and look where you are right now, I guess that being absent-minded does have its good points at one time or another."

"I'm just going to pretend that I didn't hear what you just said to me, okay Drew?" May turned her head facing the ocean, "The ship's coming!" May exclained, "Wow...The thing looks so nice...So big and blue and majestic . . . It almost seems like a beautiful person coming to pick us up . . . "

"I see that you're not blind," Drew taunted, "The S.S Atlanta, I wonder how it's going to be while we're in there on the way to the Zuki Region?"

The ship made it to the Dewford Port, where May and Drew were at. It dropped anchor and the bridge that allowed the passengers to enter reached across. May and Drew walked on it to enter the ship. The other Pokemon trainers and coordinators that were waiting at the Dewford Port began entering the vessel as well.

May jumped, "I hope that they have some good food that we can eat there! Some cheeseburgers might be nice, and maybe some pizza might be great as well also! What do you think that we should eat when we get to the 'all you can eat buffet' there?"

Drew chuckled, "Food...Is that all that you can think about whenever we go someplace new? I mean, can't you at least think of the other amazing scenery that you might see on that ship?"

When they entered the ship, Max was behind the cargo and he snuck into the ship, and for some reason, Harley was standing right next to Max, "Thought you can get rid of me, eh May?" They both said in unison, "Well not once I get on that ship and make your life a living hell."

"Hey! What are you doing standing next to me?" They both were surprised.

Harley smirked, then came up with a plan, "You think that me and you can come up with a really cool plan that will make May super-surprised and the trip a blast?"

Max nodded, "Sure . . . "

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next time, on Pokemon: Episode 1 - Don't Rock The Ship!
Had fun reading that? The next show will be about when May and Drew are in the ship, as everything seems well, Harley, Max, and his newly hired minion Orc devise a plan to destroy the vessel that they are on right now . . .
But little does Max knows, he's going to regret being on Harley's side . . .

 

[scrapbook]

Hey its not that bad, i really enjoy Contestshipping fics. Heck i probly read all of them i am betting. well can you PM me when you post more chappies

Later

 

[Torchic23]

Wow, really good! I love it! You should start a PM list, and if you did I'd definitly be on it! Great job, only a few typos, I'm sure you were just typing fast! I can't wait until the next episode!

-Torchic23

 

[Tiffany]

Oooh *ears perk up out of interest* I LMAO'd when Harley called Drew and Drew was like "Why do you refer yourself as the third person?" hahaha. I can't wait for the next chapter! It's good to see more and more contestshipping fics!

 

[HarleyScarow]

Thanks guys for reading and liking it. I think I will start a PM list.
That's right . . . It's kind of hard to do this while I'm going to school, but I need to have some free time, which I devote to making my stories. My literacy teacher always said that I had a knack for making stories, so I decided why not make some for the people that want to read it?

Yeah . . . There will be new Pokemon that I make up by myself here in this season since I love to make up new characters. Thank you so much for complimenting me on my work, Torchic 23 - I readl your fan fiction and all of it turned out to be a dozen times better than mines. You're a good mind-reader . . . I did type really quick because I was watching TV shows, and whenever there was a commercial, I would rush to my room so that I could continue writing it.

The reason why I chose ContestShipping over any of the other shippings is because whenever there's a series with Ash in it, it usually gets overly repetitive, as Pokemon Battles seem to be the same thing over and over (At least that's what I think in my opinion). Yes . . . Everything in life to me is like a Pokemon Contest, or the contest in life. Why? Because in the essays that my teachers grade, it's either the 0 to 30 scale or the 1 - 100 scale.

Someday I'll beat Cade back for the day that he beat me in that contest . . . Well, it was back in kindergarden but after he beat me, I got revenge, then he got revenge back for me, and so on. It's like the Pokemon Contests in the Pokemon anime; There are talent shows in my school that when you win, your portfolio becomes better, you get a certificate, or you get a ribbion! There is an ultimate talent show in my school in which when you win 4 or more contests, then you get to enter it.

Here's an example of a talent show appeal in my school:
1. Somebody dribbles four basketballs.
2. That person throws them in the air and spins each one of those basketballs at least once, pushing them into the air afterwards.
3. The performer catches all the basketballs, then throws them in four different directions.

Seems like a Pokemon Contest Appeal, don't you think?
Well in the talent show two years ago at my school, the person that did that trick lost a chunk of points when one of those basketballs that he used hit one of the judges. If you're wondering if I ever made it to the ultimate talent shows in my school, then yes. I don't want to sound conceited, but I made it every year since fifth grade, which is the minimal grade that you're allowed to enter any of the talent shows at my school.

Have fun as I'm already starting ideas for my next story! Stay tuned for Chapter 2 of my television series!

 

[disbejackiee]

I like this story , except one question, Encyclopika was okay with reference to Contesta right??


Also, it seemed a tad bit out of character for Drew to believe "Harley-May" so easily. Maybe you could expand on the persuasion?


PM me for the next chapter???? You've got me hooked.

 

[HarleyScarow]

My bad . . .

Maybe I should take away that one name, Contesta. I should really ask permission from him; thanks for reminding me. Whenever I'm in school, I always end up using names from other people in my class without asking their permission before I do so (Maybe because the people in my class have such originality in their personailtity.

Don't worry . . . I'll PM him and if he says no, then I'll change that from the story. But you don't have to worry about me getting in too much trouble, since this will hopefully be the only time that I use the name ''Contesta'' in my series of Pokemon.

 

[Torchic23]

Yeah . . . There will be new Pokemon that I make up by myself here in this season since I love to make up new characters. Thank you so much for complimenting me on my work, Torchic 23 - I readl your fan fiction and all of it turned out to be a dozen times better than mines. You're a good mind-reader.

Oh definitly not, yours is waaay better, so much more descrption and so on, I can't wait for the next chapter though!

 

[HarleyScarow]

Thanks. I's going to start my PM list. The next chapter is going to written tomorrow. I wrote it at my website first, http://wobbuffetds.proboards66.com Just felt like sharing it there.

 

[Torchic23]

I'm on it right? I just wanna make sure I don't miss anything!

 

[HarleyScarow]

I like this story , except one question, Encyclopika was okay with reference to Contesta right??

PM me for the next chapter???? You've got me hooked.

Ok, you are on my PM list. Yes Encyclopika just messaged em when I asked
Encyclpika. She said yes as long as I give credits. message me if you want to be on my PM list

Time for my next episode! That's right- There's going to be two new Pokemon that you've never seen in this episode (Kinda arepetitive to see the same 386 Pokemon so I made a big chunk of my own Pokemon to boot). Sorry for taking so long to write my next story- I was busy watching TV shows and the like so I didn't have enough time . . .

Rated PG-13
Why? Because this show has some cruel things happen to Pokemon and the characters, so there's no way that it can fall in the G catagory. May and Drew are in the S.S Atlanta, and they don't know about the terror that will happen to them during the ride to the Zuki region.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

May and Drew were in the lobby of the S.S Atlanta, sitting down in the cafeteria of the ship after they boarded the ship that arrived when as they waited for it in Dewford Town. May could be seen rushing food into her mouth with everybody surrounding her, watching her eat the food at an amazing rate.

Drew had an embarrassed look, "Will you stop eating like that May? People are laughing at the way that you eat and I think that we're gonna get kicked out soon if those waiters see you acting like this. You really need to brush up on your table manners, May."

May washed down some soda, "What's your point? This place is an 'all-you-can-eat-buffet' so I think that I should take advantage of everything that I get. You should be getting some food into your body as well- Take advantage of life for once! You always worked for what you have now so I think that you should at least let somebody give you something for free."

Drew sighed, "Alright, feel free to eat as much food and have as many drinks that you want, May . . . It's your stomach, not mines. And if it was mines, then I would look too hot for my own good."

May smiled, "Of course it is, and you're already cute, so you don't have to worry about getting a better body or anything, Drew. I mean, you're like a magnet for girls or something!" Her face suddenly turned purple as if she saw something nasty.

"What's wrong, May?" Drew asked, "Are you sick or something? You look really funny."

May became more pale, "WHERE'S THE BATHROOM?!" She yelled out loud, "I regret eating all of those cheeseburgers, Drew. And can someone here help me?!"

Drew smirked, "Don't tell me that I told ya so!"

May ran off to try and find the bathroom as Drew waited back in the ship's restaurant for her to come back. She scurried off in a rush, accidentily hitting people and things as she ran, trying to locate the bathroom.

On another one of the tables, Harley could be seen drinking some coffee, "Love this coffee!" He said fakely as he dumped it in the garbage can, which Max popped out of before Harley dumped it in. To Harley's surprise, the coffee flew in the air and landed on him, "Hot Hot Hot!" He complained, "You sure can show up at the wrong time, Max!"

"Sorry there, Harley. Are you okay?" Max apologized in embarassment, "So what's the plan to get back at May?"

Harley grinned, "I already have the person that I hired on the job. He's a big one and he should be able to stomp May and Drew down on the ground flat!"

"How'd you get the money to hire someone to do that?" Max asked, "And wouldn't it be better if we pranked May by ourselves, I mean, that would make it feel more better if we did that instead, right?"

Harley laughed, "Let's just say that I'm in much better condition than the last time that we were together. I also have more money from winning so many Pokemon Contests from regions around the world. I even have my own fan-club in the Zuki Region!"

Max looked unbelieving, "Oh really?"

"Yep," Harley said, "Don't you think that being famous all around the country is cool?"

When May came back from the bathroom that she was looking for, she had a relieved look on her face, "That's much better...and it's also the last time that I try to eat 50 cheeseburgers in one day!" She sat back down in the place where Drew was, "Hi Drew. Thanks for waiting for me. And yeah, you were right about me, that I should have slowed down and that I shouldn't have ate so much . . . I feel a thousand times better now."

Drew waved his hair, "What took you so long? I was waiting here doing nothing, bored to death."

"I'm a girl, what do you think?" replied May, "Yeah. I saw a really cool pool on the top of the ship...do you wanna go up there so that we can take a dip? I mean, you must be tired for no reason at all, right?"

''Whatever . . . " Drew answered without having any feeling, "Better than seeing you eat more than you already did, I felt like throwing up after I saw that. And I don't think that I was the only one that felt that."




May and Drew took the escalator so that they could arrive at the top of the ship. When they did, they saw the huge pool that May was talking about. It was big and there were many people swimming there, enjoying life as it on their face was a look that they were hoping that this cruise would never end.

May changed into her swimsuit, which was under her clothes so she didn't have to go into a changing room so that she could get dressed for swimming. "Last one in is a rotton something!" May challenged, "I bet that I can make a bigger splash than you!"

"Oh yeah? You think that you can make a bigger splash than me, May?" Drew grinned, "It makes perfect sense since it looks like maybe because you're much more heavier than me! And more fat in you too!"

May became red, "I heard that! And as a beautiful, young teenager, I find that remark very offensive!" May made a big leap and she landed into the pool with a big splash. Afterwards, Drew did the same.




Downstairs, Harley was with Max, having a discussion with each other.

"You wanna know who I hired?" Harley asked, "I bet that you'll be shocked with how that person looks like."

"Sure," Max answered, "I hope that its not one of those people that just scam you for money."

"But we're doing this for a prank, right? So I say that we are making a scam on May and Drew? But don't forget, we're only doing this so that we can add some more fun to the place," Harley took out a walkie-talkie. He began to speak in it, "Captain Orc, I want you to make May and Drew's life a living hell while they're here. Make it a short one if you want to get the job done easier, and make my life easier to those words, too."

Max chuckled, "This is going to be a small prank, right? Nobody's going to get hurt or anything. May's just going to be a little scared, right?"

Harley smirked, "Something like that, Max. Something like that. But I can assure you, what your sister is going to experience is going to be so much fun for us! There's going to be a lot of yelling on the way so I think that you should wear some earplugs!"

Suddenly the ship started shaking a little.

"What was that?" Max wondered, "It felt like the boat hit something on the way . . . "

"Oh nothing," Harley replied, "Well, nothing yet. Don't worry, Max. Just sit back and enjoy the ride."

A harder shake occured. This one almost made Max trip and fall to the ground.

One of the sailors came around, "Huh?"

*Boom!* A loud shake occured and it knocked everything over. The ground started breaking apart; furniture and trainers fell at the quake.

Max was freaked, "What's happening, Harley?"

Harley made an evil laugh, "You're having fun now?"

"No . . . "




On the top deck, where the pool was, which was where May and Drew were playing, the water suddenly started draining down like a whirlpool.

May freaked, "What's happening?"

Drew was calm, "May, get back where it's dry."

May got back on the deck and so did Drew. The water kept draining until there was nothing left. Complaints came from everybody that was forced to get out of the water. Everybody was leaving the area so that they wouldn't fall into the empty pool, as it was 10 feet deep. So did May and Drew.

There was a sailor heading over to the ship's control center, "The ship must have hit something and the vessel is hurt from the impact!"

Another sailor said, "But the radar shows that the ship is on its course and there are no obstacles! There has to be somebody behind this!"




Harley decided to run to the ship's control room so that he can check on the work, "Oh no!" He said fakely, "Who in the world would do this to us?"

"You --" Harley grabbed Max by the mouth.

"We can't let you ruin our fun, now can we?" He carried Max by force and ran off, "This is so cool! I bet that May and Drew are gonna have a blast once I'm done with this entire place!"

"Go, Roselia!" Drew threw a PokeBall and out came his Pokemon, Roselia, "Use Leaf Defense!"

"Ro-se..." The Pokemon raised its two roses and a green aura appeared around May and Drew.

May was calmed, "Thanks Drew."

Drew smiled, "No problem, May. This move should keep us safe from anything that may fall from the ceiling."




Harley ran to the upper-deck and ran into the control room, where his work-for-hire villian was, "Nice job that you did there...now where's the real captain?"

Orc ripped off his captain costume, and it revealed a man that wore a suit made out of rocks, he was a bulky man that you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley, "Right here," He took out a garbage bag and dumped out the real captain from inside it, which was tied up, "Nice way to start the day, eh boss? Who's that kid that you have with you?"

Harley threw Max into the ground, "Nothing. Just a kid that wants to have some fun, but now he's scared and wants to go back home!"

Max got up, "I'm gonna tell May that you did this and she's gonna get you big!"

I'm gonna tell May that you did this and she's gonna get you big!" Harley mocked, "Oh please, you think that she's in any situation to be saving the day? And besides, why don't you defend yourself? Too scared that you might get a bruise?"

"Good idea," Max said, "Go, Vigoroth!" A white monkey popped out from the PokeBall. It was angry and lived up to its name, "Use Slash!"

The white monkey did as it was told, "Vigoroth!"

Orc wasn't afraid, "I don't think so!" He got in the way and all of the slashes from Vigoroth bounced off from his rock-armored body, "If it's a Pokemon Battle that you want, then I have one here for you! Go Sharpenail!" A brown-colored, many pointed Pokemon popped out. It had a drill for hands and didn't look angry.

Max knew that it was a Rock-type Pokemon and using Normal-type attacks like Slash would do very little damage to it, "Use Water Pulse!"

Vigoroth did as it was told and began forming a blue-orb. When it was big enough, it let go and the ball began rushing at the Sharpenail.

"I don't think so!" growled Orc, "You know..."

Sharpenail drilled a hole into the ship and it dived into the hole that it made, thus dodging the attack.

"Oh no..." Max said scared, "Vigoroth, watch out!"

It was too late, Sharpinail already emerged from the ground and drilled Vigoroth. Knocking it into the ceiling.

"You look kinda comfortable up there, Vigoroth," Orc said sarcastically, "Why don't you stay up there? Sharlpinail, use Rock Spear!"

Sharpinail's drills became rocks, and it aimed at Vigoroth. It then shot rock shaped like missiles that hit Vigoroth and pinned it to the ceiling, "Sha!"

"Nice job, Orc," Harley complimented Orc, "Now let's blow up this here ship and get it over with!"

Orc looked confused, "That might be a stupid choice, Harley. A very stupid choice if I do say so myself."

"Nothing that I do is stupid!" Harley was raged, "And how is blowing up the S.S Atlanta a stupid choice?"

Max stood up, "You are stupid, Harley!"

Harley rose his voice, "How am I dumb? This plan was put together by me! And once Orc blows up the ship using the detonation Geodudes that he told me about, nobody on the ship will survive, not even May or that annoying boyfriend that she has with her!"

Max was confident he would win this argument, "That's exactly what I mean. All these years, you've been trying to get back at May and it all started with one tiny little Pokemon Contest in the Hoenn Region. But no! You couldn't let that one loss go and you had to start this humungous grudge with her! You are such a sore loser Harley, and no more than that!"

Harley's face rose red, Manga style, "How dare you say that to me when I've been trying to defend my honor all of these years! What you've said proved my point even more! She beat me once so it makes her a foe. I'm not going to let anybody beat me and get away with it!"

Orc sighed, "And Harley...if you want me to blow up this ship, then how will we escape it and make it safely to the mainland? You really don't think these things out, do you Harley?"

Harley had a Manga style sweatdrop, "Forgot about that part...my bad..." Then a volcano exploded from his head, "How dare you insult my intelligence? Time for me to step in- Go Rafflsite!" Harley threw a SeedBall and a humongous flower came out. It was pink and purple and had face details in the middle, "Like my new friend? Rafflsite, use Leech Root!"

"Rafflsite!" The creature did as it was told and launched vines into the woody deck. It then emerged from the ground and attacked Max directly. The vines also added to the quakes that were already taking place in the ship's hull and deck.

Max struggled to get free, "Vigoroth . . . Help . . ."

"Vigoroth . . ." The Pokemon said weakly.




May and Drew were busy helping the people in the ship avoid getting hurt from the collasping ceiling.

"Take this way so that you can get to the inside-upper deck, where the ceiling won't fall as much as it is here!" May directed, "And quickly! Before anybody gets hurt!"

A little girl was walking in the direction that May directed, when she tripped on one of the rocks that fell from the ceiling, "Waaahhh!" The little girl cried. Another ceiling chunk was about to fall on her!

"No!" Drew and Roselia went over to the girl, "Roselia, use Petal Dance Defense!"

"Rose . . . " The Rose Pokemon began spinning created a pink tornado that shattered the rock that was falling from the ceiling. Drew picked up the little girl and lead her where she was supposed to be.

"Thank you,'' said the girl.

"No problem," replied Drew.

All the passengers on the ship already knew where to go, so May and Drew decided to go to the source of the problem, which was in the control room. They began to run, not knowing where they were going to go.

Two sailors were also running towards them from the opposite direction, "Where are you two kids going? You need to evacuate to safety!"

"Are you two Pokemon Trainers?" the second sailor asked May and Drew, "Because if you are, we can really use your help here!"

"Well we train Pokemon, but since I decided to become a Pokemon Coordinator I've been competing in--" May was interrupted by Drew.

"Ok May, ok. We don't need to learn about your life story," stated Drew, "And yes, we are Pokemon Trainers. What do you need?"

"The captain of the ship is being held hostage in the control room of the ship," one sailor stated.

"The control room is right past the upper deck, where the pool is," the second sailor explained, "Got it?"

"Yep," May and Drew nodded, "Let's go!" They ran off until they got to the upper deck where the two sailors told them of, then they hurried in the control room to see Max, Harley, Orc, and the real captain there.

May was surprised, "Max, what are you--"

Max interrupted May, "It's a long story, sis."

"Harley!" Drew yelled, "I should have known that you were behind this the whole time!"

Harley evil laughed, "Well of course! You can't expect anybody else but me to--"

Orc interrupted Harley, and knocked him aside as well, "Actually, I'm the muscle behind this terror, and if you want to make it out of this here ship safely, then I'm afraid that you're going to have to beat me . . . This place looks pretty small . . . Don't you think?"

Drew didn't get what he meant, "Huh?"

Orc grunted, "That's right," He put his hands in his huge pockets and pulled something out . . . It was a Geodude! "You might have guessed this already, but these are real Geodude. The difference is that they're trained to explode rather than battle!" He tossed them, but not at May or Drew. With the wall completely obliterated, the salty, sea air rushed past them as they stood ready for battle.

"Vigoroth!" Max cried, "Are you okay?" Max somehow managed to break out of Rafflsite's vines.

Suddenly, out of all of the rocks, Vigoroth emerged out of them! "Vigoroth!" It grunted.

Max was relieved to see that his Pokemon was safe, ''I guess they don't call you the vigorous Pokemon for nothing! I'm so happy that you're safe!"

Drew looked confident that he would win, "Looks like it's time to battle . . . Let's go! Go Masquerain!" He sent out a Pokemon that looked like two eyeballs, blue and pink all over.

"A Pokemon that fits my hard *** personality is something good," stated Orc, "Rock on, Rumbull!" He sent out a Pokemon that looked exactly like a Granbull, except it was brown and had rock gravel on it.

"Masquerain, use Laser Eye!" Drew ordered, "And May . . . do you have the PokeDex with you? Can I get you to use it so that you can give me some battle info on this guy's Pokemon? I want to end this quick."

May had a Japanese anime sweatdrop, "Uh . . . sorry Drew . . . I don't have the PokeDex with me . . . I think that I left it back in the Petalburg City Gym back at home. Sorry Drew . . . "
Masquerain's two fake eyes glowed and sent out a two laser beams that hit Rumbull, but didn't seem to faze it at all, "Masq-ue-rain?" It said in surprise.

Orc laughed, "That's what makes Rumbull better than a Granbull! It has rock type characteristics making its defense much more powerful! Use your special ability! Rumble Jumble!"

Rumbull started jumping up and down, which caused quakes to occur from the ground, "Ruumm . . ."

Orc was surprised that nothing happened, "Your Masquerain should be dead by now! What's the deal with it still standing?"

Drew chuckled, "It's a Flying-type Pokemon, it doesn't stand, therefore, it didn't get hit by the attack. Should have thought before you decided to charge in with a dumb move like that, now did you? And May, it's okay- I think that I can still hold my own in this battle."

Orc growled, "Grrrr . . . "

"Masquerain, use Water Pulse!" Drew ordered, "A water attack should take down that Pokemon. Now I think that you should regret bringing a Rock or Ground type Pokemon against me!"

"Uh oh . . . " Orc groaned.

The two fake eyeballs on Masquerain glowed blue, then shot a blast of water out that his Rumbull from two sides, knocking the rock bulldog out.

Harley was watching and was angered that Orc was losing the battle, "I think that it's time to cheat! Rafflsite, use Poison Petal!"

"Raffl-ssss," the many petals that Rafflsite had extended and attacked the May and Drew.

May was astonished, "You can't do that!"

"I can do whatever I want in a battle with no rules, May!" Harley sneered, "Why don't you try?"

"Whatever!" May threw a PokeBall, "Go Beautifly! I wish I had my PokeDex with me . . . that would give me an advantage."

A beautiful butterfly appeared, as its name states, "Beautifly!" Glitter flew from its wings.

Harley laughed at the Pokemon, "Am I supposed to be scared of a little bug? And you proved my point- You need a high-tech device like the PokeDex so that you can get an advantage over me, right? You can't defeat me on my own because you need information on Pokemon! Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah!"

"You should be scared of a little bug! And I don't need extra information on Pokemon so that I can beat you. Don't forget that I can hold my own in a Pokemon Battle!" May exclaimed, "Beautifly, use Cutting Wind on Rafflisite!"

The butterfly flew into the air and two waves of wind sliced in the air and hit Rafflsite's huge petals, "Beautifly!"

Harley laughed, "No rules mean that everything that me and you can do is fair play," he didn't order his Rafflsite to do anything, instead, he walked over to May, with a dangerous face on him as he approached.

May was confused, "What are you doing Harley? Can't you stay over there? A girl needs her space anywhere that she goes."

Harley kept walking, "Oh nothing, just trying to have a little fun time bonding with you, May," when he finally made it to the place that where May was, he kicked her in the face, knocking her down.

Orc and Drew were still battling on the ship, and Orc was about to send out another Pokemon, "Go Sharpinail!" The pointy Pokemon that appeared from before came out again, "By the time that I'm done with you, you're gonna have a few holes through your scrawny body! Sharpinail, use Nail Attack!"

It shot many screws out, an unavoidable attack. A barrage of them hit Masquerain and it was down for the count, "Sharp . . ."

Drew returned Masquerain back to its PokeBall. Next he sent out Roselia, his best Pokemon, "This is our last shot so lets give it our all! Use Rose Buster!"

Roselia held one of its roses out like a gun and it aimed at Sharpinail. It shot many petals out which appeared to hit it, but didn't damage it at all! It looks like Sharpinail used its nails to cancel out the roses!

Harley's Rafflisite was losing to Beautifly, "I can't believe that you're letting a stupid little Beautifly beat you, Rafflsite! You're such a loser . . . Come on!"

May got up from when Harley kicked her. She also decided to stand up for Harley's Rafflsite because Harley was scolding it like that, "Maybe if you started treating your Pokemon with some decency, they would perform better in battle! In order for you and your Pokemon to succeed, you must work together in battle so that you can emerge victorious."

Harley laughed from that, "Don't lecture me, May. Oh yeah, I have things to do and places to go . . . So yeah. Time to make this battle go boom-boom!" Harley took out a remote control that resembled a Cacnea and pressed the red button. The ship began to split apart and all the trainers returned their Pokemon back into their PokeBalls.

May was shocked, "What are you doing, Harley? Do you know what will happen if you blow up this ship?!"

Harley yawned, "DUH, May! Nothing will happen . . . except that a couple hundred people are going to die from the blast," he said as if nobody was going to get hurt from this blast. Harley laughed that annoying laugh that only he does, "A ha ha ha ha ha!"

Drew sighed, "Too bad we won't be able to continue our battle . . . I was having fun there . . . ''

Orc nodded, "I'll see you in the next Pokemon Contest . . . you better watch out for when I show up for you next time," Orc was acting more like a competitive rival than a bad-guy, "And Harley . . . you're lucky that I'm big and strong enough to survive this blast.

Harley grabbed Max, "That's right, your little brother's mine for the taking, May. If you want him back, then you better find him on the island that we'll be blasting off to from the explosion about to occur! Oh yeah . . . and don't try to rescue anybody later from this explosion, because this blast is going to kill just about everybody on this vessel! See ya in hell!"

"No, Max! Let him go Harley!" May cried.

"Um . . . let me think about it . . . no!" Harley smirked.

The ship completely blew up. May and Drew blew off in one direction; Harley
and Max in another (Harley activated a rocket-pack so that he can control his direction); Orc went somewhere unknown, not going with Harley meant that he could show up somewhere unexpectedly. The trainers that blasted off in a different direction were fortunate, as they escaped the blast more effectively than the other people in the ship, since they flew off, Japanese anime style across the horizon.

May and Drew laid together on an island, unconcious. When they woke up, they realize that they were washed ashore onto a beach, having no idea where they are right now or what to do. Their only chance is to find someone that lives there so that they can find their way . . .

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like that episode? There's three new Pokemon that I created in this show:
Sharpinail, Rafflisite, and Rumbull.

Next Chapter of this anime series that many of you love is
Episode 2: Island Of Silence

Next time, on Pokemon: This is when May and Drew are wandering a deserted island, which they have no idea what the name is. Then they find this scientist, Professor Sap (The professor of this anime series)! Harley still has Max, which makes that May's #1 priority to get him back from Harley's evil and cool hands. Harley hires another guy to try and take May and Drew down while they're on the island and the name of the organization that Harley has is revealed. Professor Sap has a Bevera with some emotional problems, so May and Drew also try and help that out. Bad things continue to happen while they're on the island as Bevera runs away, trying to find the root of the problem that it has. Stay tuned!

 

[Torchic23]

Good chapter! I love the drama! I always imagined Harley to be evil like that as well, I guess some people think alike! I think this one was great, good in length and descrption! Can't wait until the next chapter!

 

[Encyclopika]

Well, you said you wanted me to reveiw, so here goes.

May and Drew were in the lobby of the S.S Atlanta, after they boarded the ship that arrived when they were waiting for it in Dewford Town.

In the red, you might want to explain what they were doing exactly. Standing around...sitting...etc.
Second red: "as they waited" sounds better. This sentence was pretty awkward. =\

May and Drew were in the cafeteria of the ship,

You don't have to mention them again...we already know that they are the subjects for now. Saying "they" is better and not as repetitive.

where May could be seen rushing food into her mouth with everybody surrounding her, watching her eat the food at an amazing rate, a comical one.

Another case of repitition...reword it -> "where May could be seen with a crowd surrounding her as she comically rushed food into her mouth at an amazing rate." See?

May smiled, "Of course it is, and you're already cute, so you don't have to worry about getting a better body or anything, Drew. I mean, you're like a magnet for girls or something!" Her face suddenly turned purple as if she saw something nasty.

Depending on how long this fic is...well...still, May and Drew are sort of OOC. At this point, CSers would expect a fight of some sort. You have to build up the relationship unless you state otherwise.

Harley can be seen

"Harley could be seen"

"How'd you get the money to hire someone to do that?" Max asked, "And wouldn't it be better if we pranked May by ourselves, I mean, that would make it feel more better if we did that instead, right?"

We? Kinda OOC for Max don't ya think? Especially when he was still suspicious of Harley far longer than Ash was. oO;

May and Drew took the escalator so that they can arrive at the top of the ship, and when they did, they saw the huge pool that May was talking about. It was big and there were many people swimming there.

1st red = "so that they could arrive"
2nd red = Make this two seperate sentences. It's a little runon-y.
3rd red = Give us a clearer picture of what was going on. Details detail details. Ever wonder why Contest Tie episodes are so long? Details. Since you use chapters and not really episodes, you can crop them any way you like if you feel that it's getting too long.

"I heard that! And as a beautiful young teenager, I find that remark very offensive!"

Commas are important. Red = "...a beautiful, young teenager..."

Downstairs, Harley was with Max, having a discussion with each other there.

"...having a discussion with him." You don't need to say "there", you already mentioned the place of action in the sentence.

"Masquerain, use Hydro Pump!" Drew ordered, "A water attack should take down that Pokemon. Now I think that you should regret bringing a Rock or Ground type Pokemon against me!"

*GASP* As a Drew fanatic, I know everything about Drew's lineup, and I'm telling you there's not a snowball's chance Drew's Masquerain knows Hydro Pump or could even learn it. Masquerain has the following moves de la anime -Bubble, Silver Wind, Hidden Power, and Ice Beam. Even if you wanted Masquerain to learn Hydro Pump, it can't because the only way to get a Surskit/Masquerain with Hydro Pump is if you breed it. Now, if you want his Masquerain to have a stronger water move, choose from the following:
Water Pulse - yeah that's it. Sorry for being such a know it all. ;P

May had a Japanese anime sweatdrop

Just say sweatdropped.

They were outside now since there were no walls left.

As the great Jo-Jo once told me, show us, don't tell us. Use the art of describing what it was like at that moment instead of flat out telling us "they were outside." Mention something like - "With the wall completely obliterated, the salty, sea air rushed past them as they stood ready for battle"...or something like that. That's letting the reader figure it out for him or herself what's going on, instead of being told.

May and Drew were lying together in an island.

1st red = use "lied" or "lay". That part seems sort of in the present.
2nd red = on an island.

Well, that's all I'm going to do. Revise plz - it's an amzing, yet boring skill. I have to say that this story is alright...the plot is okay, but repetitive. It's the same old "May and Drew travel together" with some twists so that it's not CT.
Anyway, please work on grammer and sentence structure, as you see from above and please clean up the OOC-ness.
Besides that, I can see you're trying and if you fix up your mistakes, you'll get better.

 

[disbejackiee]

Sorry for not reviewing earlier..


Basically, Encyclopika took the words right out of my mouth. Add more details, but I like the plot so far. Since you already started the story, it's not really like you can go back and develop May and Drew's relationship. Maybe sometime when you have time, you can do a prologue-like thing that gives background information. (Think JK Rowling writing a story about Harry's parents-not that it would happen). I"m really interested to see how everything will turn out. I love Harley =X.

 

[HarleyScarow]

Yes I can . . .

I know that it would take a lot of changing,
but I can change the thing so that it shows the relationship between May and Drew in the prolouge.
All I have to do is click on edit, right?

Here's where I keep all of the drafts before I post the finals:
wobbuffetds.proboards66.com

 

[Torchic23]

I loved the draft for episode 3, can't wait until you post it here!

 

[Stephy]

I loved the draft for episode 3, can't wait until you post it here!

-agrees-
I can't wait for Episode 2.
It looks interesting.

 

[HarleyScarow]

Well thanks for the people that have joined my forum.
I'm finished with the story for episode two when May and Drew are on the deserted island, but I want to wait until the second page is opened so that I can put it there.

Thanks for the stuff that you guys sent me,
it was really complimenting and I love it.

 

[HarleyScarow]

Episode 2: Island of Silence

This is going to be a fun chapter, Have fun reading it!
While May and Drew are on an unnamed island, they meet a professor named Sap that is there so that her Bevera can meet its friends. However, there are no Pokemon to be seen and Bevera runs away once it senses trouble happening in the forest, both physical and emotional problems.
Harley keeps Max hostage and hires a new boss: Woody-Woody Two-Shoes, who uses clever tricks with his Bushose and Woodnose during battle.

Have fun reading it and I want you guys to rate this thread!

Rated: PG-13 because it has too much action and too much emotion in it. Gets too OMG and "No way out". Also, May mentions that she wants to have you-know-what with Drew when it looks like she's about to die, even though she didn't actually use the word, it has the meaning inside.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

May and Drew were washed up on the beach after being blasted away from the S.S Atlanta by Harley's attack, unconsious. The night has already arrived at the island that they were on, as it has been a long day.

Drew suddenly woke up, "Gee . . . I wonder where we are?" he turned around and saw May sleeping, "Man, May is so lazy . . . How can she sleep at a time like this? And on a beach that we have no idea where it is?"

May was rolling over and moaning, "Happy days . . . I just won the Ribbon Cup . . ." she mumbled in her sleep, "Ha ha, Drew . . . you can't beat me . . ."

"That's right . . . in her dreams!" Drew laughed, "Should I wake her up, or should I let her stay asleep so that she won't rant on about annoying things?"

"Drew . . . you suck . . ." May mumbled, "I don't want to go out with you anymore . . . "

Drew chuckled, "There's no way that I'm going to let May think about me like that . . . not even in her dreams, because if I do let her, she's going to talk about how she beat me in her dream, and I forgot that she believes that dreams are true," Drew raised his fist and hit May directly on the head.

May woke up abruptly, "Ow! Who did that?" she turned around and saw Drew, "Oh . . . it's just you, Drew," she washed off the sand that was on her clothes and body, then she got up.

"While you were sleeping your big head away, we were in this island which we have no idea is!" Drew exclaimed, "Had a good sleep, May?"

"You were sleeping too, Drew!" May replied, "So you shouldn't be talking! Me, on the other hand, was getting my beauty sleep."

Drew chuckled, "It doesn't matter who was sleeping and who was sleeping longer. We need to find out where we are and get out of this place so that we can make our way to the Zuki region."

May noticed something, "Where's Max?"

Drew looked around, "Nope. He's nowhere in sight."

"Gee . . . I wonder where's Max?" May had a worried look, which then turned into a grin, "I bet he's lost. Serves him right for not listening to me and going to the Orre region!"

"Gee . . . that's harsh," Drew said, "I thought that you would at least care about your own little brother. Kind of low that you would say that you don't care, May."

May put on a reassuring look on her face, "Don't worry, Drew. Maybe a long time ago I may have worried about him, but there's no need to worry about him now. After all, he does have Pokemon with him."

"Change of thought?" Drew asked, "You're so moody."

"I'll take that as a compliment," assumed May, "Anyways, where are we?"

"I have no idea," admitted Drew, "Let's go and see if there's any people living here."

May smiled, "Good idea."

May and Drew began scouring the beach to see if there was anybody that lived on the island that they were presently on. It was nighttime, so they couldn't afford to get lost now. They eventually saw a patch of tall grass up ahead, and it was the only plant life that they saw so far on the island they were on.

May got excited, "Maybe we can play in that grass- we might find some wild Pokemon there!"

Drew frowned, "What's the matter with you? The only thing that we need to do right now is to find somebody that lives on this island, and then ask that person to help us out of this island."

May didn't listen and jumped into the grass as if it was a swimming pool, "Come in Drew! The grass is fine!"

Drew sighed, "Another one of your moments when you confuse one thing with another . . . there's no way that I'm going to 'dive into a patch of tall grass!"

"Come on, Drew!" May urged, "It's the only way to get to the other side of this patch of grass anyways."

Drew sighed again, "Fine . . . I'll wade through the grass. But I'm not jumping into it." He did as he said and began walking through the grass. Suddenly Drew heard a voice, as if he stepped on something, or it could have been somebody!

"Oww . . . " the voice mumbled, "Can you get off me, whoever you are?"

Drew was startled and jumped out the way, "Sorry . . . I didn't see you there, my bad.''

May sighed, "Tsk tsk tsk . . . that's what you get for entering tall grass and not looking where you're going!"

"But you told me to go through the grass!" Drew exclaimed, "Wow May . . . no sense . . . ''

The person that Drew stepped on got up. It was a women wearing a very revealing lab coat. She had blonde hair, golden eyes, and tan skin, "Hi. My name is professor Sap, who are you?"

''My name's May," May informed, ''Nice to meet you."

''My name is Drew," Drew stated, "Sorry for stepping on you . . . I should look where I walk next time . . ."

Professor Sap had an embarrassed look, "It's my fault for lying down on the grass. It was either you or a Pokemon that would have walked over me. So . . . what are you doing on this island?"

"We should be asking you the same question!'' May pointed out, "Kind of weird to see anybody on this lonely island."

Drew was against what May said, "What she means is, do you know how we can get off this island so that we can get to the Zuki region? The S.S Atlanta is supposed to take us there."

"The Zuki region?" Sap said eagerly, "That's the country that I live in! The S.S Atlanta is supposed to take you to my hometown, Maple Town. I just left there a few days ago so that I can explore this island."

''That's cool,'' May remarked, ''Can you tell us how we can get off this island? I want to return back to civilization so that I can go shopping again . . . and yes! I forgot . . . cheeseburgers!"

''Is that all that you care about, May?" Drew was always getting annoyed of the things that May were obsessed with, "So do you know how to get off this island?"

''Well we can get off this island and head over to Maple Town by tommorrow," Sap answered, "I'm here so that I can do research on one of the Pokemon that live here, Bevera. I have a Bevera of my own to help me.''

''Cool. Can we see it?" May asked, "I'm always excited to see new Pokemon."

''Sure," Sap answered, "Go Bevera!" she threw a PokeBall in the air that sent out a Bevera. As hints from its name, it was a beaver-like Pokemon that had huge teeth and tail.

''Nice Pokemon," Drew complimented.

''That thing looks so cute," May reached into her pocket so that she can get her PokeDex, but she remembered that she left the PokeDex back at home.

Sap giggled, "I see that you don't have a PokeDex of your own yet. Do you want one?"

"I already have one," May answered, "But unfortunately for me, I forgot it and I left it at home.''

Drew smirked, "That's May for ya, always forgetting things that are obvious."

Sap laughed, "Don't worry. When you two get to Maple Town tommorrow, I'll be sure to give you two the PokeDex for the Zuki region."

Drew got his hopes up, "Really? I can get my own PokeDex?" Drew never had his own PokeDex, "I always wanted to know what it was like to have a PokeDex. It seems that whenever I need one, May's not around to use her's to help me."

Sap smiled, "Sure, of course Drew," she looked at her watch, "It's getting kind of late right now. Why don't we find a place so that we can get to sleep?"

"Where can we sleep?" May asked, remembering that she forgot to pack up her sleeping bag, "I forgot another thing . . . my sleeping bag . . . ''

''That's right, as I pointed out, May for ya," Drew laughed a little, "I see that you forgot another thing."

May raised her voice, "It's not like you brung anything with you, Drew. So don't go and blame this on me as if I was the only one that came unprepared.''

Sap had a calm look on her face, "Don't worry, we can make a bed from wood coming from the trees. Wanna know how I'm going to do that?" she hinted.

''How?" May and Drew both asked.

''Bevera, use Woody Chomp on one of those trees!'' Sap ordered, "We can put the wood and the leaves together so that we can make a set of three beds.''

''Bev!'' the Bevera grunted. It came to the nearest tree and began biting it. The tree was biten from the center and it fell, along with the scattered leaves, "Bevera!"

''Good job, Bevera,'' Sap complimented, "Now we can make three beds out of these materials.

May, Drew, and Sap began building beds out of the wood. The leaves were used as a cushion and a blanket. It took them an hour, but they were done.

May sat on the ground, tired, "Wow . . . that was fun. But hard work can sure get you tired . . . a cheeseburger or a slice of pizza would be really nice right now. My favorite foods . . ."

Drew got annoyed by May, "As usual, all you want to eat are cheeseburgers and pizza.''

Sap laughed, "Ok, lets go to sleep now. We can use my motorboat that I docked to get to Maple Town tommorrow after I'm done with my research here. Goodnight to you two.''

''Goodnight,'' May and Drew said. Then the three fell asleep into the night.








The next morning, as the sun was rising, professor Sap was with her Bevera, gazing at the ocean.

May woke up refreshed, "That was a great sleep!''

Drew also woke up, "For once, you're right May.''

May liked the beautiful scenery, as she saw a flock of Wingull fly above her, "I never knew that sleeping on wood would feel so good!"

Sap walked over, "I like to stay with nature. That's why I always go outside."

''Is it time to go yet?" May asked, "It would be nice to stay here on the island a little longer."

''No!" Drew disagreed, "We have to get going to Maple Town so that we can start our way. Not only that, but we don't even know the name of this island!"

Sap looked surprised, "You don't know? The name of this island is Woodsu Island, and it's famous for the wild Bevera that lives here. That's where I met my buddy Bevera here, and I wanted to let him visit home again. This island is technically on the Zuki region map."

Bevera was standing beside Sap, "Bev!"

Drew was getting impatient, "Well . . . can we go to Maple Town now?"

''Sure," Sap answered, "But I docked the boat on a river on the other side of the island. We have to go there so that we can reach it.''

May was happy that they could take the scenic route around the island, letting her see all of the sights, "Yay! You don't get to see nature like this in the city.''

Drew was confused, "I thought that you liked the city life. That's why yesterday you were complaining about wanting to go back, right?"

May sweatdropped, "That was then, and this is now! As time passes, what I want is bound to change."

Sap walked at the lead, ''Well lets go and find that river. Maybe we can find some Pokemon here that you may be interested in.''

They began walking. May was constantly looking around, amazed at how wonderful a place could be if it didn't have any human society living there. She constantly stopped so that she can touch the plants that she saw, to Drew's annoyence, as he wanted to get to the Zuki region so that he can compete in the Pokemon Contests that he has been waiting so long to do so.

May giggled, "This is so cool!''

Drew sighed, "Will you stop touching the plant life here? Knowing you, you'll probably kill what you touch.''

May kept her happy face, "Oh chill out, Drew. You really need to lighten up and as they say, stop and smell the flowers for once."

Sap spotted the river, and pointed at it. It was 20 feet wide across, making it impossible to cross as there was no bridge, "Here we are, guys.''

May was frightened, "It's so . . . so big! How are we going to cross that thing without a bridge?"

Sap was confident that they would make it across, "There's no need to worry, we have Bevera with us- he can make us a bridge.''

''May may may . . . you always overlook things,'' Drew smirked at her, "You should know by now that Pokemon are always ready to help us when we need it."

May ignored Drew's comment.

Sap pointed to a tree, "Bevera, use Wood Chomp on that tree so that it can make us a bridge!''

''Bev!" It began rapidly chomping down on a tree and after it was done, it tumbled and landed across the river, making a bridge as Sap said it would.

''Good job, Bevera!" complimented Sap, ''Now we can cross the river with no problem.''

Drew chuckled, ''Ladies first.''

May began crawling across the log, scared that she might be washed away by the river, ''I-I wonder what w-will happen if I l-let go of this l-log?'' she stumbled. She was scared and lost her grip of the rope, and fell! ''Help me Drew!''

Drew wasn't frightened at all. He held out one of those red roses that he was famous for, "Here May . . . grab ahold of this rose . . . ''

May did so and had her hand prickled by the rose. Drew then grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to the land, ''That's what you get for not being careful.''

May was relieved, ''Drew . . . did you have to hold out the rose? I mean, you could have just grabbed my wrist and helped me out from there!''

''I could have saved you either way,'' Drew explained, ''The rose was to punish you for acting so carelessly . . . maybe next time you'll watch out.''

Professor Sap laughed, "That was a close one. Let's continue across the log, okay you two?"

The three climbed on the log. Drew was walking over it with his eyes closed and May was holding Drew's shirt while still crawling. Sap made it over to the other side first, then followed May and Drew.

''Let's follow down the river's shoreline. That's where I left the motorboat that I used to get here in the first place. Don't ask me why I left it there.''

They followed the shoreline until they saw the motorboat that Sap was talking about. It was ocean blue colored with slight orange streaks.

When they approached it, Bevera had a disappointed face on it, ''Bevera . . . '' it said sadly.

''What's the matter, Bevera?'' asked Sap, ''Is something bothering you?"

''Bev . . .''

Sap knew why it was so sad, ''It's because you weren't able to see or meet any of your other Bevera friends, were you?'' she thought for a little, ''It's kind of strange. I thought that we would meet a lot of them here. Something must be wrong with the ecosystem . . .''

Suddenly, the three heard an explosion coming from the jungle! Then they heard the whimpering of some Pokemon that sounded a lot like Bevera.

Bevera jolted up, ''Bevera!'' it ran away to the direction of the explosion.

Sap was worried about what might happen to her poor Pokemon if it got to the midst of the explosion site, ''Bevera, come back! It's not safe--'' she didn't finish, and saw that a tree was going to hit her if she didn't move quick, ''Oh no!''

Drew pushed professor Sap and May out of the way and the three escaped where the tree fell, ''Are you two okay?"

''Yeah . . . '' May answered weakly, ''Thanks for saving me again . . .''

Sap got up and ran in the direction where Bevera was going, even though it was already almost out of sight, ''Something bad's happening here.''

''We should follow her,'' Drew suggested, ''Something like that can happen again.''

May got up, ''You're right. She helped us get through this island without going nuts so it's the least that we can do for her.''

May and Drew ran off where Sap was running. Little did they know that they would meet the person that was destroying the forest soon . . .

''Wait for me!" May shouted, "That scientist can sure run quick. Wish I could."

Drew was picking up speed, ''You would do the same if one of your Pokemon was running away, confused, now would you May?"

May sweatdropped, "Of course I would!''

Professor Sap made a turn to the left, where she entered a thick forest of trees, with very little light as the tall trees overshadowed them as they ran towards her. A snap was suddenly heard.

Sap stopped, "What was that?" Another tree was falling towards her like last time, "Oh no!'' she ducked, avoiding the tree.

Standing on top of one of those trees, a tall man wearing brown and pointy shoes was looking down, "Don't think that you can get away from me that easily, professor." he leaped off using the trees.








May and Drew caught up with Sap.

May was sweating, "Next time, don't run off like that!''

Sap had a serious look, ''Sorry, but I can't stop.'' she continued running off again.

Drew sighed, ''Here we go again,'' May and Drew ran off, chasing her again into the thick woods, which seemed to be getting more and more dark as they continued on.








Harley was on the island, holding Max in his arms, struggling to get free, "Ha ha! Looks like you're not going anywhere, now are you, Maximus?''

Max was annoyed that he couldn't escape, ''I don't even need to worry. May and Drew are going to stop you and save me before you can even do anything to me!'' Harley was running along the side of the trees in order for May and Drew not to see where he was.

May stopped, ''I could have swore that I just heard Max's voice. I even heard Harley's voice!''

Drew didn't believe her, ''Maybe you're just hearing things . . . again. I think that you need to have your ears checked before they get worse.''

May ignored Drew, ''It doesn't matter,'' she began running off again, seeing that the forest was almost pitch black now and that she couldn't see Drew anywhere, ''Where are you, honey?"

Drew grabbed May, "Boo!''

May was startled, ''Ah! Who is it? Get off me before I use my superpowers against you!"

Drew spoke, "It's just me, May. Man are you gullible. It's pretty dark here, but I think that it's going to get brighter for some reason if we keep walking.''

May was confused, "Why would it get brighter? Ever since we started running in this here forest, it seemed to get more and more dark as we kept running!''

''Ever heard 'the light at the end of the cave'? Or in this case, the light at the end of the forest.''

May smiled in relief, ''I guess you're right . . . I mean, you're always right Drew.''

They kept running, and in a few minutes, May realized that Drew was right- the forest did seem to be getting more light shown in it!

May was impressed, "Drew, how did you know that?"

"You know how we entered the forest from the edge of it, right?" Drew explained, "Well as we got deeper, the forest got darker, so that would mean that if we kept going, we would get to the other edge of the forest, which would have light there unlike the center of it, which is the most darkest part.''

"Good . . . I guess," May complimented, "Do you feel like something's going to attack us if we don't move?"

Drew was cautious, "Yeah . . . ''

May was right. A wooden block shot out of the ground and attempted to hit Drew, which he leaped out of the way as if he was expecting it to be launched there from the start.

''See?" May was scared, "Hope that thing doesn't hit me and lift me into the air, I'm really scared.''

Another wooden tower shot out from the ground and it was from where May was standing, shooting her into the air with immense force.

"Ahh!!!" May screamed, "That really hurt and I think that Drew just saw up my skirt! Not that it would be a bad thing, but . . . '' gravity pulled her back down and she landed on the grass, surviving somehow.

Drew laughed, "That's what you get for being so careless! Next time, you should watch where you stand before you hang out there.''

May wasn't laughing, "You think that was funny?! Somebody or something must be behind this crap, and I want that to stop before I sue somebody for ripping off a part of my skirt!''

Drew moved a little so that he can look at where May's skirt ripped a little, "Wow . . . that looks nice.''

May was blushing, "Drew . . . you pervert!'' she stated that even though she secretly wanted Drew to look at her at that part of her body, "Turn around unless you want to get a slap on the neck.''

Drew was also blushing, since May knew that Drew was looking there, "Sorry . . . ''

A green bush with eyes, mouth, and a long nose appeared behind them, "Bushose!'' without catching May or Drew's attention, its long nose extended and shot them in the back.

May was angry, "Drew, did you touch me in my unmentionables? I'm going to hurt you for that!" she held out a fist, but then realized that Drew wasn't behind her, but side of her on the ground, startled from the long nose, "Drew, are you okay?"

Drew got up, "What do you think?"

An annoying laugh was heard from the top of the trees, which caught May and Drew's attention. They looked up and saw purple hair, a green outfit . . . it was Harley!

May was spooked, "What are you doing up there?!"

Harley was holding onto Max tightly, "What do you think? I'm keeping your annoying little brother Maximus hostage if you can't see that already.''

May was worried, "Max, are you okay?"

"I knew that you would come and help me!" Max said happily, "Get rid of this creep!''

A man with a voice as if he had a stuffy nose rose up, "So you're May and Drew! You two should be easy enough to take care of!''

"Who are you?" Drew asked, "What are you trying to do? Be cool by hanging on top of a tree?"

"Are you with Harley?" May asked, "I hope you're not.''

Drew sighed, "He's standing next to him. What do you think, May?"

The man chuckled, then jumped from top of the trees and landed on the grass, "That's right . . . the name's Two-Shoes, Woody-Woody Two-Shoes! Hired by Scarow to take you down and collect the cash!"

"What's Scarow?" May asked, "Sounds kind of cute.''

Harley was annoyed that May would describe the name of his organization cute, "There's nothing cute about Scarow, honey. At least nothing that you'll ever think will be cute. Now take him down, Woody!''

"That's right," Woody chuckled, "Bushose, use Woody-Woody Nose!"

"Bushose!" Woody had two of them in his team. They both extended their long noses at a speedy rate that attempted to hit May and Drew, but missed.

"Looks like you want a Pokemon Battle, now do you?" Drew assumed, "Well that's something that I can do. Go Flaritten!" he threw a PokeBall that released the fire Pokemon, Flaritten.

"Flare!" the Pokemon said.

"Burn down those Bushose!" Drew ordered.

"Flar!" the Pokemon blew flames at the Bushose.

Drew was confident, "That should take care of you!"

Woody chuckled, "I think that you should know that I can take care of a fire attack anyday."

The Bushose were closing their eyes and mouths, and the fire attack completely deflected off them. They then reopened their eyes and three more bushes appeared in front of each one of them, for a total of eight Bushose!

May was scared, "How did you do that?"

"Bushose's special ability, of course, which is known as 'Bushy Hair' " Woody explained, "As you can see, every Bushose can close its eyes and mouth once during battle to deflect any attack that is dealt towards it. Then when it reopens the eyes and the mouth, three more Bushose are summoned in front of them. Since I have two Bushose with me that were attacked, each one gave me three, meaning that six more were added to the two that I already controlled, allowing me to control eight Pokemon at the same time! However, the next time that a Bushose that has already used up its ability is attacked, it is automatically destroyed regardless of how much HP or defenses that it has left."

Drew understood what Woody said, "You shouldn't have said that. Now I know exactly how I'm going to counter those Pokemon, but I'm going to need your help in this, May. Do you have any Fire Pokemon with you right now?"

"Yeah," May replied, "I have my Combusken with me. I would never leave it at home or forget about that Pokemon, since it was the first Pokemon that I ever had when I started my journey."

Drew nodded, "Good. Here's the plan. You know how that Pokemon of his can multiply, right? Well if we can destroy them quick enough, then they can't regenerate themselves with those clones that they make, okay?"

"I got it," May threw a PokeBall that released Combusken, the yellow and orange 'young fowl' Pokemon, "Combusken, use as many Flamethrowers as you can on those Bushoses, and as quick as you can!"

Combusken did what it was asked, "Combusken!" it shot out flames from its mouth that hit the Bushoses on the spot.

"No May!" Max warned, "That won't--"

Harley held Max by the mouth, "I can't have you spoiling this battle, now can I? May has to think for herself, when she does learn how to think."

Woody was confident, "You think that the same trick is going to work twice? So slow, you two . . . "

It was true. The two original Bushoses were destroyed, but the six copies made three copies each, for a grand total of eighteen Bushoses on May and Drew's back.

"Attack with your Wood Nose!" Woody ordered, "With so many, there's no way that you're going to be able to get out of this one."

"Bush!" all of them growled, and then they did what Two-Shoes asked them to do, except that it ended up being a huge surprise.

May was worried, "We're going to die! It was nice knowing you, Drew, and I can't believe that we were never in the bed having whatchamacallit!"

Drew shook his head, "Don't worry, you'll still have plenty of times to see me and well you know . . . me. I bet that you're going to laugh out loud after what you're going to see.''

There were so many extended noses that were being shot by the many Bushoses that were surrounding them, all of the points being aimed at May and Drew. Because of the number that were there, all of the noses crossed and hit each other! The Bushose from the left side shot first, so they had more power than the ones on the right side, since they were still charging up to attack. When they let go of their fully stretched noses, the left side, with more force, destroyed the right side Bushoses! Since they were already attacking, there was no way that they could stop, close their eyes and mouth to guard themselves, and then duplicate. Now there were only nine left.

Two-Shoes was angry at what he just witnessed, "This isn't over yet . . . not by a mile! You may have found the weakness to my Pokemon's strategy, but I don't think that you know that this is a street battle, meaning that the trainers are allowed to attack as well."

May was confused, "How can a human attack in a Pokemon Battle? Wouldn't that person get hurt if they got involved in it?"

Drew was disappointed in May's lack of knowledge, "What do you think May? This is a street fight, meaning that you're allowed to do anything that you want so that you can win the battle.''

Harley was smirking, "Maybe it would be best if I intrude onto this battle, you know, to make victory 100% . . . ''








Professor Sap was running in the forest, and she finally caught up to where her confused Bevera was, which was where the light at the end of the forest was.

"I'm so happy that you finally stopped," Sap said.

"Bevera . . . " Professor Sap knew that it was still sad that it couldn't find any of its buddies, so now she was determined to get to the bottom of that.

She knew there was something strange about the location of where they were, but somehow guessed that they were still on the island. Sap peeked out into the end of the forest, which was the light part, and saw May and Drew, "Oh no . . . I have to do something about this. This can't be good at all . . . "








Back at the battle, Woody was still confident that he could win the battle, "Go on, May and Drew. Use another Fire-type attack on my Bushoses! After all, Fire attacks do beat Grass Pokemon, right?"

Drew caught on already, "Don't think that you can get us again with that trick, Two-Shoes. We already caught on to your little Pokemon's trick."

May was still worried, "But Drew, even if we know how to not activate Bushose's Pokemon ability, the only way not to set it off is by not attacking it. And if we don't attack, then we can't win this battle.''

"Then we'll just surprise attack them," Drew explained, "Return, Flaritten!" Drew returned it back into its PokeBall, "Go Roselia!"

"Hmmph," grunted Woody, "A Grass on Grass attempt? If Fire didn't work on my Pokemon, then why would you think that a Grass-type Pokemon could do any better than that?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Drew said, "Roselia, use Leaf Defense!"

"Rose . . . " the green Pokemon with red and blue roses as its hands began spinning in the air. Pink petals were flying around May and Drew as if it was forming a dome.

Woody was mystified, "What do you think that you're doing with that gay move? Grr . . . Bushose, use Bullet Seed on the shield!"

"Bush . . . " the dark green, long nose bush Pokemon opened its mouth and an array of yellow glowing seeds shot out of their mouths, hitting the constant flying pink petals, but it seemed to not even damage the dome! The Bullet Seeds deflected and destroyed the remaining Bushoses that were still there.

"Hmmph . . . " Drew chuckled, all of the flying pink petals that Roselia unleashed fell to the ground, and a glowing green dome was created that protected May and Drew from harm, "That's what you get for using a Grass attack on a Grass defense."

Harley was shocked that even nine attacks couldn't get through to them, "You better get rid of them quick if you want to be promoted, Woody-Woody Two-Shoes, because I'm tired of waiting."

"Then why don't you join the battle?" Woody added, "This is a street fight after all, and breaking the rules are impossible since there are no rules."

Harley laughed, "Good idea. Go Rafflsite!" Harley threw a Purple PokeBall that released his parasite Pokemon with four huge purple petals and its face lying in the middle of the plant, "You know what to do."

"Raugh!" Rafflsite growled as if it was a beast than a plant, "Rufu!" It grew vines from its bottom and shot them underground where it was standing.

"Where is that going to hit?" wondered a confused May, "Wait . . . please don't tell me where those vines are going to hit . . . I don't want to think about it."

Drew had a worried look on, which was rare, "Uh oh . . . we're in this Grass defense, that means that nothing can get in, but nothing can get out either."

Harley laughed, "That's right! From under you!"

Harley's Rafflsite did as the others predicted. The vines emerged from inside the barrier and snatched May and Drew, holding them at the ceiling of the barrier.

"No!" screamed May and Drew, "Let go of us!"








Professor Sap was watching the battle, with a horrified look, shocked at how any person that engages in a Pokemon Battle would attack another trainer, "I wish that I could help . . . but how?"

Bevera decided to stand up for May and Drew, and ran out to the battle scene, "Bevera!" it said determined to help them. And the long tailed beaver ran off with thoughts of helping its friends, which Sap decided to follow so that she can assist it in any way.








When Bevera and Sap arrived at the battle scene, Woody was laughing when he saw the small Pokemon.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!" Woody laughed at Bevera, "You think that you can take care of me with that?"

"That's right," replied Sap, "Bevera, use Tail Rack!"

The beaver Pokemon did a backflip and attempted to slam its tail onto Woody-Woody Two-Shoes, "Bev!" it shouted in anger as it almost hit him.

Woody vaulted in the air and landed on top of one of the trees, dodging the attack, "You want to battle also, I see . . . "

"Bevera!" it grunted, eager to battle so that Woody-Woody Two-Shoes would go away.

"Not really . . . " Sap stated, "But if it's a battle that you want, then it's a a battle that you'll have! Bevera, use your Quick Attack!"

"Go Woodnote!" Woody threw a wooden PokeBall that released his Pokemon, Woodnote, which was a brown log, with sleepy eyes, long nose, and blubbery mouth, "I think you know what to do for me."

"Woody . . . " the Pokemon began materializing grass lumps from air that blocked Bevera's Quick Attack. The Grass lumps looked a lot like Bushose, and were destroyed by the attack.

Sap was surprised, "How did it do that?"

Woody laughed, "You're a Pokemon scientist . . . why don't you tell me? Whip out one of those PokeDexes that you guys always carry with you and find out what my Pokemon can do for yourself. Oh yeah, by the way, Woodnote, use Wood Missile!"

"Woody!" the Pokemon's nose started to charge up energy, and it released its nose like a missile towards Sap, which Bevera took the hit.

"Bev . . . " Bevera moaned weakly, trying to recover from the hit that it took.

"Are you okay?" Sap asked, worried about her damaged Pokemon. She took out her PokeDex which resembled a PSP, as the PokeDexes always resemble a device.

The PokeDex spoke in a female mechanical voice, "Woodnote, the Wood Nose Pokemon. This Pokemon is the evolved form of Bushose. It is able to materialize and download living grass bush to attack its opponents. It can also log out of its present body and log in again as one of the Bushose to avoid an attack."

Sap was surprised, "Download? Logging in and out? That must mean that this Pokemon is one that came from cyberspace. From the way that it battles, I'm assuming that it is specifically the Virus type."

"Woodnote, use Woodstomp!" Woody ordered, "This should take care of your Bevera once and for all."

"No!" May and Drew yelled, worrying that the hit may finish off Bevera, their last chance.

"Woodnote . . . " the brown and long nose log jumped into the air and was above Bevera. It forced pressure into its body and slammed onto Bevera, causing an explosion once it landed on the damaged Pokemon.

"No!" Professor Sap yelled, "My poor Pokemon!"

Harley was laughing, "First we took care of May and Drew, and now we took care of a scientist that should have minded her own business!"

Woodnote's body completely covered Bevera. Suddenly, a shining sound could be heard. Woodnote was being lifted into the air!

"Wood?" it said surprised.

Bevera was evolving, as shown when it was becoming bigger when it was lifting Woodnote!

Sap was surprised, "Whoa . . . good job Bevera!" little did she know that its name wasn't going to be called Bevera anymore.

The Pokemon Evolution was complete. The new Pokemon was standing on two feet. Its tail became a whole set of logs that were side by side. It was taller, bigger, and more serious. The color of the new Pokemon changed from a brown to a golden color, "Bevadam . . . " it growled.

"That's a Bevadam!" yelled May and Drew.

"Hmm . . . Bevadam," the amazed professor flipped open her PSP PokeDex, "This is cool . . . "

The PokeDex, with the female voice spoke,"Bevadam, the Dam Pokemon. The evolved form of Bevera can use an entire river as its home when it builds a dam there. Being very territorial, Pokemon are feared by it. Its Dam Tail can destroy trees with one attack."

Professor Sap was very proud that her Pokemon had evolved, despite the situation that it was in before. "Thank you so much, Bevadam . . . I am proud of you for getting out of the most harsh of troubles. Now take down that Woodnose!"

Woody giggled, "You may have your Pokemon evolved, but don't think that's going to help! Woodnose, use your Bamboo Sword attack!"

Max was confused how Woodnose could use any kind of sword attack, considering the fact that it doesn't have a sword with it, and even if it did, it couldn't pick it up since it has no hands, "What's he up to?"

Woodnose went through a transformation. It grew wooden arms from its side. The way that the sword was going to appear was astonishing, since Woodnose's pointy, woody nose grew in size and popped right off! The wooden sword suddenly had a handle so that Woodnose can carry it. It held it in a threatening way at Bevadam, confident it will win. "Woodnose . . . "

The professor was still convinced that the newly transformed Pokemon can't attack Bevadam from a distance. "How can that thing of yours move if it doesn't even have any legs to do so?"

Woody-Woody Two-Shoes knew that it had legs, but wasn't planning on using them to advance, "If you look closely, you can see that it does have legs, but that's not what I'm going to do . . . "

Woodnose's wooden arm grew rapidly towards Bevadam with the wooden sword in its hand! "Wooden . . . "

Bevadam managed to use its huge tail and push it to the ground, vaulting the brown beaver up into the air, "Bevadam!"

Sap was relieved that it missed, "That was a close one. Good dodge Bevadam! Now its time to retailiate, Bevadam, use your Surf!"

"Beva!" it jumped into the air, and a huge blue wave appeared from the ocean that was behind it, and was aimed at Harley and Woody's side.

Harley laughed. "Maybe it's time to stop you from losing, Two-Shoes. Rafflsite, use Attack Drain!"

While still holding onto May and Drew, Rafflsite's body glowed red and the Surf attack was redirected to it, and canceled out by it. However, May and Drew were free right after it absorbed the damage!

"We're free," May said calm. "That thing was gross!"

Drew was exhausted. "I feel like my energy was drained from that Rafflsite . . . "

"That's because it used its Attack Drain move," Sap explained. "When using that technique, any attack that is targeted to another Pokemon can be redirected to the Pokemon using Attack Drain, with the opposite effect, which means that the attack would heal that Pokemon. However, in order to use that attack, the Pokemon must focus its energy, meaning that it couldn't hold on to you two. So that also means that Harley made a foolish move!"

Harley was offended. "If I didn't have to rescue you from that Surf attack, then this wouldn't have happened you stupid idiot!"

"I didn't need your oversized petal to do that move!" Woody said. "I thought that you knew that Woodnose was a Grass type Pokemon so it wouldn't have taken so much damage anyways! And I was going to use the Bamboo Sword as a whirlwind so that I can repel that Surf attack, so now who's dumb, dummy?"

Sap was laughing that two people on the same side would argue over each other. "Want to finish this off, Bevadam? This is getting kind of boring."

"Beva!" Bevadam nodded in agreement.

"Good idea," Sap decided that in order to blow Harley and Woody off, they would have to use a finishing attack. "Bevadam, use your Wood Chuck attack!"

Bevadam materialized a huge, brown wood block out of nowhere and it began glowing. It then charged right at Harley and Woody-Woody Two-Shoes and knocked them into the sky. "Bevadam!" Unfortunately, Max was knocked along with them.

Harley was shocked that they would lose. "Oh great. I lost again! Except this time, it wasn't my fault . . . "

"What are you talking about?!" Woody shouted. "It was your fault that May and Drew escaped, so you better not say anything!"

"I can't believe that I'm going sky-high with these clowns . . . " Max mumbled. "I wonder how I even got into this the first place?"

Max?!" May called. "Are you going to be alright?"

"Yeah!" Max replied. "As a matter of fact, I think that I'm having fun hanging out with these guys!"

May thought that Max was weird for having fun at this situation. "Be careful and I hope that you never find your way back to me, okay Max?"

The three were knocked acrossed the horizon.

"I'll beat all of you in the next Pokemon Contest!" they both yelled, as their voiced reduced while they flew across the horizon. "Go . . . to . . . hell . . . "








May and Drew ran over to professor Sap, happy that she saved the day with her newly aquired Bevadam, which proved to be a strong opponent when in battle, as shown a little while back.

"I'm so happy that you did that for us!" May exclaimed. "You're such a great Pokemon trainer!"

Drew smiled. "Even I have to admit that was a great performance, and I'm a pretty hard to impress!"

Sap was proud to do her part. "It was nothing. All I did was make sure that you guys were safe eventually and that Bevadam is happy."

The sound of wild Pokemon could be heard approaching, as there wasn't any during the battle, since they were probably hiding while it was on. May, Drew, and Sap turned around and saw a brown tail . . . a tail that rapped the ground back and forth. As the three slided over a little, they could see that the brown Pokemon were Bevera!

Bevadam ran over to the Pokemon out of happiness, as eariler it wanted nothing more than to meet its friends on the island. "Bevadam!" More Bevera appeared when it ran over to where the first one was.

Sap was happy that Bevadam was finally able to get what it wanted from the start. "You're so lucky, to have those friends here on the island like that."

May had an idea. "Maybe you should let your Bevadam stay here. It seems really happy being with all of its friends on the island."

Drew was appalled by what May said. "How can you even think about something like that May? You're acting like Sap did something bad to Bevadam and that it would be better off here!"

"I was just saying that it would be more happier here, Drew!" May replied. "I'm not saying that professor Sap did anything to it. As a matter of fact, I say that Sap treated that Bevadam since it was a Bevera with so much care and love that it's scary. After all, the main reason why she went to this island was so that it can meet all of its friends again."

"You do have a good idea, May," Sap said. "Bevadam, can you come over here for a moment so that I can ask you something? It's really important and I'll only take a moment, okay?"

The big brown beaver ran over to Sap as she asked. "Beva?"

"Do you want to stay on this island so that you can always be here with your friends?" Sap asked. "I mean, you look much happier here, and I always want the best for you since you're such a good friend."

Bevadam was touched by what Sap asked. It turned around and looked at its friends. Then at Sap. It looked at its friends again, then Sap once more and faced that way. It then jumped into Sap's arms and gave her a big and emotional hug, showing that it wants to stay with her, since she looked out and cared about it from the start, "Bevadam!" it said in happiness.

Sap was smiling so much that it almost became tears. "Thank you so much, my good friend!"

May wondered why it chose her over the Bevera, then came to a conclusion. "Love for Pokemon and love for trainers can sure take you far."

Drew chuckled. "For once you said something right, May. I think that you should practice more."

"So . . . you want to head over to Maple Town now on my motorboat?" Sap asked, and took out a remote control with a blue button in the center. She pressed it, and the motorboat suddenly came over to the sea area that they were at.

Drew was confused. "If you had that before, then how come you didn't use it last night or this morning so that we could get to Maple Town earlier?"

"Because I wanted to find out what was wrong with my Bevadam when it was still a Bevera, Drew," Sap explained. "It was acting weird last night so I wanted to stay here a little longer so that I could find out why it was so sad, and now I found out why. Yeah . . . I have to admit that I was stalling you two so that I can stay here with you guys, since I wanted some company with me on the island."

May laughed. "You're so funny! But thanks . . . even though we were attacked by Harley and that Two-Shoes creep, I really did enjoy my experience on the island, so thanks."

Sap was walking over to the boat, with May and Drew following behind her. "Lets go over to Maple Town now so that I can get you two started, okay?"

"Ok!" May and Drew agreed.








So May, Drew, and professor Maple used the boat so that they can get to Maple Town. After the events that have happened so far on the island and the ship from before, and even without entering the mainland of the Zuki region yet, how much more exciting adventures will May and Drew experience when they get started on the new region? Stay tuned!

Next time, on Pokemon: Episode 3- Who wants some pancakes?

When May and Drew arrive in Maple Town, they visit the local restaurant so that they can get pancakes/waffles/french toast for breakfast, since the town that they are currently in is famous for the maple syrup that they use. After they eat, they head over to the lab so that they can get ready for their adventures in the new land.

When professor Sap's husband Syrus tells May and Drew that there will be a Pokemon Contest two days from now, May lays back, saying that she is too good for Pokemon Contest preparation, while Drew heads outside and trains with his Pokemon. Drew meets a boy named Rick, which is actually Sap and Syrus' son, and he loves Dragon Pokemon more than anything. He battles Drew, saying that this will be his first Pokemon battle, and somehow manages to beat him, shocking Drew more than anything.

Syrus thinks that May is lazy and challenges her to a Mock Pokemon Contest Battle, in which she loses as well. He reminds May that the contest will be in two days, and May begins getting shocked that the first city that they get to will have a Pokemon Contest in it. Will May and Drew be able to get past their first Pokemon Contest in the Zuki region? Stay tuned!

HAHA sleeptalking May. I'd hate to be her at that moment, " I don't want to go out with you anymore".


one thing though...

May and Drew were washed up on the beach after being washed away from the S.S Atlanta by Harley's attack, unconsious. The night has already arrived at the island that they were on, as it has been a long day.

Try not to use the same words in a sentence. I know it's really hard not to do that (which is why I'm always paranoid that my style becomes stale after awhile), but try thinking up another word to substitute wash, or just take one part of it out completely.
