Earlier Brianna had ended up rushing out of the restaurant in tears while May, Harley, and Soledad remained there seated in their booth. May was tempted to run after her, but Soledad suggested that it was best to leave Brianna alone for awhile.

Soledad sighed. "So much for happily talking about the Wallace Cup."

May dejectedly looked down into her drink and said in a soft tone, "This kind of reminds me of that one time where I told Drew not to be so hard on his Absol during their training and he yelled at me..."

"Yeah, Drew always had a knack to be really hard on himself. In this case, he's now being hard on himself towards love," Soledad sternly proclaimed and she then narrowed her eyes as the pinkette continued on, "When he said those words to Brianna, though... He sounded angry, but not at her. That anger seemed more directed at himself than anything. Her words must have made something inside him snap, I know how Drew is pretty well."

May frowned and her trembling sapphire eyes were beyond gloomy. "What? But... What's wrong with him? Why would he act like that? It makes no sense... I'm so confused."

Harley crossed his arms and let out a loud groan. "Well Honey, it's not my fault your boyfriend is being such a little sour puss! I hate when he's like this!"

May blushed instantly. "H-Harley!"

"What? He's horrible with showing his feelings, and ends up confusing and hurting everyone else in the process! Last time he hurt you pretty bad, Sweet Pea! " Harley rudely pointed out and added, "Then again, that's not my problem."

"Harley, you're not helping with the situation..." Soledad sadly muttered.

He shrugged. "Sorry, Hun."

May suddenly got up from her seat and announced to the two of them, "I'm going to go look for him."

Soledad became puzzled and concern was immediately plastered onto her face. "What? Are you sure, May? I'm not sure if that's such a good idea."

"Yeah, it looked like he needed cool off," Harley added somewhat bitterly.

May shook her head and determination was clear as day on her face. "I'll be fine. I feel like I need to talk to him..."

"Okay, well meet us back at the Pokemon Center later. You know where our room is, right?" Soledad asked.

The brunette nodded. "Yeah, no worries. Thanks for everything guys, I'll see you later!"

After saying that, May took off by rushing out of the restaurant and began to search for her green haired rival all throughout Olivine City.

She searched and searched for several minutes, almost one whole hour to be exact, but she still couldn't find him. It didn't help that the temperature was drastically dropping and the wind was becoming harsh.

Just as the sun was setting and May was about to give up, she suddenly saw Drew from afar aloofly sitting down on the sand as he gazed out at the ocean, his expression unreadable. She felt stupid for not checking the beach first out of all places.

Taking a deep breath, May quickly scurried over to where Drew was and stood behind him, looking at him in total concern. She put a hand over her heart while frowning and the wind elegantly danced with their hair.

Before May had even said anything, Drew had already felt her presence as he turned his head slightly to look at his female rival.

He then avoided her gaze by looking back at the ocean and a sigh escaped his lips. "Hi May."

"Hi. Are you okay...Drew?" May hesitantly asked, worry consuming her voice.

He shook his head and coldly said, "Tch. I should be the one asking you that." His expression then softened after a moment of silence and he told her, "I'm sorry for what I said earlier, May."

May stood there in shock for a few seconds before she decided to sit down beside him and softly say, "It's okay. But the one who you should really be apologizing to is Brianna. You really hurt her, Drew."

Drew sighed once again, him still avoiding her gaze. "I know."

An upside down smile formed on May's lips as she looked directly at him, her voice just oozing with concern. "Why would you say that to her though? I mean... You have so many fangirls, I'm sure you have girls confessing their love to you all of the time."

"I do, but just not the one I want."

His words made her start to swim in a pond of confusion. "Huh? What do you mean?"

May then remembered what Soledad had said to her earlier about Drew being hard on himself towards love and her eyes grew wide.

"Wait... Drew. You said that Brianna didn't know nothing about love, so... Have you ever been in love before?"

She immediately felt nervous after asking that very question, and a part of her didn't want to know. Her heart started to beat rapidly in anticipation as she waited for him to say something.

Drew then caught May off guard as he finally looked at her while flashing her the most fondest and endearing smile.

"Only once. Still am."

May was at a loss for words as they both stared into each other's eyes and she was beyond shocked. It was at this moment that she realized just how close their faces were and she began to blush. His words secretly bothered her though; just who could Drew be in love with? For some reason it left an unsettling feeling in her stomach and-

"Surprise!"

The two rivals both flinched as they immediately turned their heads to see Harley hovering above them.

May let out a tiny shriek. "H-Harley!"

"Just what are you two buttered-up biscuits doing out here sitting so close to each other under the sunset? Do I sense something romantic going on-"

"N-NO! W-We were just talking like always!" May shakily protested, her cheeks turning red like ketchup.

Without warning, the three then heard another voice from afar.

"Drew!"

May, Drew, and Harley turned their heads to see a somewhat tall, chubby guy running toward them. He possessed spiky black hair with an orange headband around his head and had onyx eyes. The jolly looking young man was wearing a huge brown t-shirt along with tanned colored cargo shorts.

Both rivals stood up and Drew looked at the guy utterly perplexed, while May inwardly shivered in total fear at seeing this guy, her knowing exactly who he was. She was panicking on the inside.

"Do I know you?" Drew blankly asked him.

"Yeah, I'm Sid! Remember?! You know, from LaRousse City?! You were like my neighbor!" Sid ecstatically exclaimed, his voice sounding somewhat like a surfer dude.

Drew didn't really remember this guy, but he tried to play along anyway, so he adjusted his hands into his pockets as he quietly mumbled, "Oh, I see... Good to see you."

Sid then noticed May and his jaw dropped completely in total awe.

"MAY! Babe, is that really you my love?! It's been so long since I've seen you! You look great!" Sid happily remarked as he eyed her up and down, making the brunette feel totally uncomfortable, which also making Drew secretly pissed off.

"Uh... Thanks, Sid..." May awkwardly replied as her sweat dropped.

Drew then glanced at his female rival and asked her, "You know this guy, May?"

"I met her when those Deoxys attacked our hometown, Drew! You were lucky you weren't there, dude. They almost kidnapped May but I saved her by sacrificing myself!" Sid explained somewhat dramatically and he began to laugh. "But eventually I got released, so it's all good!"

Once again, Drew glanced over to May and asked her, "Wait... You were in my hometown...when they attacked?"

May looked at him and sheepishly nodded. "Yeah, it was pretty scary..."

Drew gave her a stern look as his expression was somewhat unreadable and he remained quiet. Seeing this worried May.

Geez, Drew can be so mysterious sometimes... May thought.

A smirk then crawled onto Sid's face as he locked eyes with the brunette and he playfully said, "That reminds me, May... I never got to hug you last time. Come here, cutie."

Just when Sid was about to hug the female coordinator, May hid behind Drew as she put her hand onto his right shoulder and she was blushing up a storm. Drew stood tall and firm with his hands in his pockets, him now glaring at Sid.

"S-Sorry, Sid... I'm not so good with hugs..." May nervously told him.

"Hello! Are you all forgetting about me?!" Harley abruptly hissed.

Sid turned around to see non other than Harley and a large grin formed onto his lips. "Oh wow, hi! Don't know how I didn't notice you, you're pretty cute like May too!"

Harley's jaw dropped as he was immediately filled with rage and that's when he exploded...literally.

"EXCUSE ME BUT I'M NO LADY BIG BOY! HOW DARE YOU! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS! HUMPH!"

Instead of Harley totally flipping out on the guy, he then composed himself and sighed.

"Sorry... I'm working on maintaining my anger, but mark my words, you will PAY for mistaking me as a little princess...you'll be burnt toast next time I see you! Humph!"

And just like that, Harley sassily walked away while shaking his butt somewhat in the process.

There was then an awkward silence.

Sid then turned back around to face the two and became dumbfounded. "Wait. Is Drew your boyfriend, May?"

Sid's expression then turned fierce. "If he is... Then I will battle him for your love, May!"

May instantly felt herself jump and her face began to turn a billion different shades of red at hearing his words.

"W-What?! I-"

Before May could even finish with talking, Drew protectively grabbed onto her hand and told the brunette, "We should try to catch up with Soledad now at the Pokemon Center, come on."

His action totally caught May off guard and only sent more blood up to her now scorching red cheeks.

Just as Drew was about to drag May away from Sid, the three of them all soon heard...

Brianna's voice.

"Mr. Drew! Why... Why are you holding hands with May?!"
