Chapter 1

"Good bye…" Max mumbled.

"Oh yah…I'm really gonna miss you Max." May said sadly, she had decided on going to Johto on her own. Now the hard part came.

"I'll miss you too!" Max cried as he hugged his sister, sobbing.

"It's ok, Max. Now you can help Dad at the gym." May soothed.

"Yah…you're right! When you get back from the Johto Grande Festival, the gym will look so good, you won't even recognize it!" Max declared happily.

"Bye Mom, bye Dad! Love you!" May called.

"Goodbye," May's family (along with Squirtle and Munchlax who had decided to stay home) called. May had decided to leave Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's lab, so now she just had Blaziken, Beautifly, Skitty, and Eevee.

As the ship rocked from side to side, May with tons of other passengers ran out to see what was going on. They found a huge storm. Sailors were running around and around, following the captains orders as more ocean water poured onto the ship. A hand touched May's shoulder.

"Ah!" May shrieked and was about to smack the person behind her when she heard a familiar voice.

"Sheesh, calm down May!" Slowly, May turned to stare into an even more familiar pair of emerald eyes.

"Hi Drew!" May had to yell so he could hear her over the thunder "What are you doing here!?"

"Same thing you are!" Drew called back "You should already know that!"

"I do! I just figured you would have left by now!" May shouted.

"Well, I didn't!" Drew yelled.

"Ok! Well that's a pleasant surprise!" May yelled back. Suddenly, the boat jolted to the left, so hard that May was knocked over…and over the side. Her hand grasped the rail as she tried to process what had happened. Drew reached for her, but the ship jolted again and they both fell to the water.

As soon as May grabbed onto Drew he called over his shoulder "Well! I have to admit, you are anything but dull!"

The waves were even harsher than the ship's deck. The two had to grab a hold of each other 5 times until they were lifted out of the water by a Lapras.

"Whoa." They said in unison.

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

"Have you ever seen a Lapras with blue eyes?" May asked.

"Yah, but most have red." Drew answered.

"Well then this one is lucky…hey, where's it taking us?"

"I don't know…as long as it's that shore over there." Drew answered, pointing.

"Oooo! Land!" May cried. Drew rolled his eyes.
