Hey I have to type a story for school so I decided why not post it here as well. Please enjoy.
+ La Rousse 9:00 p.m., Drew POV +
I walked down the roads of La Rousse with the wind around me as my only current companion. I cursed at myself for letting another chance to tell May how I felt slip through my fingers. It was perfect, but I had to let my thoughts and doubts prevent me from once again being able to hold her in my arms.
"I'm such an idiot!" I sat down in a patch of grass in a park as the robots floated by me and the people stood on the moving passageways going about their everyday life. My emerald hair blocked my matching colored eyes that tried to see everything that went by as I lay there. I would have flicked it out of the way as I normally did but I just didn't have it in me. I lay there as the most beautiful girl I had ever met passed through my brain; May Maple.
She had enchanted me with her spell unknowingly to her and me at first but soon it became to a point where it was hard not to notice it. I remembered the day we had first met as if it were yesterday and not a year ago back in Hoenn. I lay there for who knows how long until I finally decided it was time for me to head back to my hotel room. I walked back and entered my room and locked the door behind me. " Come on out guys." I threw my four pokeballs into the air releasing my pokemon for a good nights sleep.
Before I lay on my bed I noticed an ebony rose resting gently on my bedsides table accompanied by a note. I walked over and picked up the note as I read it aloud. "Hello Drew, how are you doing tonight? I need you to listen and listen well. I'm fed up with you and your little girlfriend stealing the contest ribbons that rightfully belong to me. I have May and unless you want her harmed I suggest you disappear without a trace. I know your smart Drew so figure it out, May or your ribbons? Have a pleasant evening." I finished reading the note but I couldn't believe Harley would stoop to a level that low.
" Don't worry May I'm coming." I packed my bag as slung it over my back as my pokemon looked at me questioningly. " Don't worry guys I just have to go find May, wherever she is." I grabbed the note and rose and shoved them in my pocket making sure I had everything. I recalled all of my pokemon except flygon seeing as it was the only pokemon I was going to need if Harley tried to put up a fight. " Come on flygon lets go!" I took off on my loyal dragon/ground type pokemon as the search began.
May POV +
I sat on the floor groggily as the events from yesterday came back to me as if a dream.
Flash-back
I stood there as Drew made his way over to me while twirling a thorn less red rose in his fingers.
"You did a great job today May, especially in your battle against Harley." I could feel myself blush at his compliment, thankfully it was too dark to see it clearly.
"Thanks Drew, and I'm sorry you didn't win." He handed me the rose and flicked his hair before smirking.
" I guess there's always someone better than you." He began to walk away but I grabbed onto his arm causing him to turn around and quirk his eyebrow at my reaction.
"Drew I was just wondering all those roses you give me are they really all for my Beautifly?" I saw his face falter a little before he smiled and closed his eyes.
" Yes and no at the same time." It was an indirect answer but what else was there to expect from Drew? He released himself from my grip and left again and I didn't stop him that time. I stood there watching him disappear until a chilling breeze blew by and I shivered.
"I should probably get back to the pokemon center." Before I could take a step in the opposite direction Drew went I was grabbed from behind by a firm grip. " Hey let me go right……now" I slipped into unconsciousness as my captor pushed one of my pressure points temporarily leaving me helpless.
Flash-back over
This is what led me to my present location as I looked around and took in my surroundings. I was in a dark, cramp, and cold room with only one window with steel bars and a steel door as the only possible exits. " Looks like I'm not going anywhere soon." Just then the door opened and in came a cloaked person with a sinister smirk on his face.
"I demand you release me now!"
"Sorry Miss. Maple but I can't do that I need you here to make sure you nor Drew win any ribbons.
"What does Drew have to do with this? Oh please let him be safe." He passed me a piece of paper and I read it to my self. "Hello Drew, how are you doing tonight? I need you to listen and listen well. I'm fed up with you and your little girlfriend stealing the contest ribbons that rightfully belong to me. I have May and unless you want her harmed I suggest you disappear without a trace. I know your smart Drew so figure it out, May or your ribbons? Have a pleasant evening." He began to laugh as he saw the look of rage on my face.
"Don't worry May I'm not going to hurt you unless Drew continues to enter the contest's. That's what I would surely do if I was in his shoes." He walked to the door and was about to close it but he turned to me to say one last thing. " Why let some girl hold him back from finally reaching his dreams?" He left and his words stung all the way down to the center of my heart.
"What if Drew does just continue to enter contests and this guy does do away with me? No, Drew would never do that to me, would he? I mean with me out of the way that would be one less person in his way to become top coordinator. No, I won't doubt him I know he'll try his hardest to save me! I lay down on the cellar floor as I tried to fall asleep on the cold bricks. " At least I hope so."
Drew and Flygon ,Drew POV +
As we flew it felt as if we weren't going fast enough to my liking. Harley said he wouldn't harm her but Harley was one to never keep promises. He's probably not even expecting me to try to save her, what an idiot. As if I wouldn't try to save her, she's practically the only family I have left.
Flash – back
A young Drew walked up to his house from the back yard after hearing a loud noise coming from inside his house. "Mommy, Daddy, Kris? Is any one in here?" He walked through the hose with his fear rising every silent second. Drew finally got to the main parlor and screamed at what he saw in front of him. There on the floor lay his father and mother covered in blood with multiple gunshots in the surrounding area. He ran over to his fallen parents as he sobbed to himself, not noticing the person behind him.
"Don't worry you'll be joining them soon." Drew turned around to come face to face with his parent's murderer.
"Kris….. Why… how……mom and dad…..kill."
"You always were an idiot of a little brother, so I'll explain it to you. Mom and dad loved me when I was first born but once you came into the picture everything changed. It was like I didn't even exist and I'm always getting the blame when it comes down to it. Well now their not a problem any more, and soon neither will you be. Drew got to his feet and ran as fast as his 8 year old legs would carry him. He could hear Kris following him at high speeds and he knew it was only a matter of seconds before he caught up to him. Drew dove into a bush and awaited Kris to hopefully pass him by.
Kris got to the clearing and looked for Drew but he was no where to be seen. "I know you can hear me so listen and listen well! Someone phoned the cops so I have to split. But you can live your pathetic life, run and flee and live in fear, because I will be back." Kris pulled out a Pokeball on got on his salamance as he took of in to the sky.
Drew came out from the bush and did the only thing he could do, he cried. The years passed and Drew never saw Kris but his words always echoed in his mind. Drew went through life with a pair of foster parents and was content to an extent but never really satisfied. Once Drew turned ten he started his pokemon journey while always looking for the brother he never really knew until it was too late.
Flash-back over
But then something from that flashback clicked and I told Flygon to land. I pulled the note from my pocked and prayed I was wrong.
"Please jus let it be my imagination." I opened the note and dropped it after I confirmed the worst. I hadn't looked over the note well enough the first time. I had just assumed the note from was Harley when it was from-
+ Cellar, May POV +
My captor woke me up from my nap as he came back in the room and gave me some food, water, and a blanket and began to leave again.
"Wait, who are you?" he smirked and pulled down his hood and flicked his hair.
"They call me Kris Hayden." I gasped at the information I was just given.
"Did you just saw Kris Hayden?"
"Yeah I'm the older brother of the beloved Andrew Hayden."
"Drew never told me about having an older brother."
"It figures he wouldn't talk about me." With that said and done he left and closed/ locked the door behind him. I sat in the darkness and ate the food he brought me while thinking to myself.
"I'll hope tomorrow will be a lot better than today." I lay down with the blanket and drifted off to sleep as fear took over.
+ Forest, Drew POV +
"I can't believe Kris! If he dare hurts May I'm going to kill him!" my flygon came over to me concerned about the way I was acting. "I'm okay boy just scared is all." The pokemon got in a defensive position as we heard someone approaching. "Who's there?" a boy about my age came out of the bush and held up his hands in a show of unintended harm.
"Please don't hurt me, I mean no harm. You were making a lot of noise so I was going to see what's going on. Especially since that guy came through here with that girl earlier." My hearts stopped for a second before I was able to find my voice.
"Did the girl have brown hair, a red shirt, yellow fanny pack, blue biker shorts, a white mini-skirt, and a red bandanna?"
"I'm guessing you know her if you can describe her that well. Yeah she was dressed exactly like that and there were two guys and one was giving her to the other and collected some money."
"Can you tell me exactly what happened?" we sat down as he put a finger to his chin thinking.
"Sure."
Flash-back
"I have the girl now pay up the money." The hooded man went into his pocket and took out five-hundred dollars and gave it to the other man as he handed him the girl.
"Thank you my plan is coming along nicely."
"Pleasure doing business with you Kris. If you don't mind me asking where are you going to keep her?"
"I just need to keep my guest at the old cottage in the mountains until the grand festival is over or till she dies."
"Nice plan, well I'll see you around."
"Good night to you as well." The man went the other way as Kris got in his salamance and flew off towards the mountains.
Flash-back over
"That's what happened."
"I can't believe Kris actually took May."
"You know him?"
"Sadly I do." I looked down and there was an awkward silence until the boy broke it.
"Oh I'm sorry I never fully introduced myself, I'm Brad Sketcher."
"I'm Drew Hayden pleasure meeting you."
"Likewise, hey since I know the mountains like the back of my hand why don't we go together in the morning to look for your friend?"
" I can't be responsible for your safety, Kris is a very dangerous person and I can't afford having someone hurt on my account."
"No need to worry about me, I'll be fine." Brad walked over to me and slung his arm over my shoulders and smiled at me slyly. " Besides it's going to take both of us if you want to save your girlfriend." I blushed slightly and turned away from him and walked over to flygon.
"She's not my girlfriend." Brad pffted at my comment and called out his flygon and began to pet it fondly.
"What ever you say." We took off toward Brad's parent's house so we could sleep and then leave in the morning.
9:00 the next day ,Cellar ,May POV +
I woke up and stretched my sore muscles from sleeping on the floor. I walked over to the window and sighed as I inhaled the smell of the air. Despite the fact I was in the mountains it was fairly warm.
" I guess Johto has a different climate than Hoenn." I shook the steel bars , to see if they would loosen, no luck. " If only I hadn't left my pokemon at the pokemon center I would have a chance to get out of here." I sighed and walked over to the door and looked under the door and I saw feet pacing back and forth.
" Are you sure……….. This can't be happening……… he has someone with him?... I'll make sure to welcome my baby brother with open arms." I heard a phone click and I sat back down as I heard him coming towards the door to open it. "Guess what May my little brother thinks he can save you.
