Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with the Pokémon world. The only person I own here is Meena.
This is my second contestship!
I just love May and Drew, so I had to write another story. Since I finished my other one, I was feeling quite contestshippy (still), so I was like, heeey, let's make up another story on the spot!
Anyway…
The story will get better as the chapters go on, so stay tuned ;]
Please read and review!
Thank you!

"Okay, the trail should be here somewhere…"
"Glace, glaceon!"
"Don't worry Glaceon. I know it's here." Even though 14 year old May sounded optimistic, she felt nothing close. No one would blame her: she was in the middle of who knows where, caught in a vicious snowstorm that gave zero visibility. Her teeth chattering, she pulled out her PokéNav.
"We have to head west half a mile then we should hit the path that will lead us to Snowpoint. Then, we can warm up in the Pokemon Center, have a nice, warm up of-" May turned to her left and found herself looking over a fifty feet cliff.
"WHAT THE-" May screeched as she quickly moved out of the way so she wouldn't go barreling over the side and into nothingness.
"Gla, glace glace!" Glaceon trotted up beside her, worried.
"I'm okay, I'm okay…" May muttered and tried to zip her coat up coat up more. Great. It was stuck. "So apparently we can't get to the path by going left. Arg! There's something wrong with this PokéNav!"
Indeed, there was. The screen was fading in and out, and May had to literally pound the buttons for them to work. Funnily enough, it had full battery.
"Must be the cold…" May felt hopeless. She couldn't see anything in any direction, except a thin line of trees to her right. Okay, she thought. I'll just keep heading north until I see someone or the cliff ends.
She walked for another ten minutes, her eyes on the PokéNav, as it was pointless to look ahead. All of a sudden, the screen flashed, darkened, and then went completely blank.
She shook it. "What?" She shook it again. "COME ON, WORK!" She hit the reset button. Nothing happened. "What the hell!" No matter what she did, nothing worked. It was dead.
"What am I suppose to d-do now?" May felt like just collapsing to the ground, but she knew that wouldn't be a good idea. The snow was knee deep.
The tears that stung behind her eyes froze almost immediately as they fell down her cheeks. Normally May wouldn't be this weepy, but she had valid reasons to be. She had been traveling in ice cold weather for hours, she couldn't see a thing, her only directions had died, she was in the middle of nowhere, her contest was in five hours, and her pokemon were almost all wiped out from battling.
"We have n-no choice but t-to k-keep going," May shivered as she took another excruciating step. Lift up, step, lift up, step, lift up, step, lift up, step. May lasted exactly another four steps before she fell into the snow.
"Glaceon! Glaceon gla glace!" Glaceon nudged May frantically. She didn't respond. Her lips had a blue tinge to them and her face was white as a sheet.
Glaceon nudged the first pokeball on May's waistband and Blaziken appeared.
"Glaceon glaceon glace!" Glaceon nudged May and ran around Blaziken frantically.
"Blaziken Blaze?" Blaziken was startled to see his trainer motionless on the ground.
"Glace!"
"Blaze." Blaziken put every ounce of strength he had into picking up May (he was tired from previous battles) and walked over to the trees. It was easier for him, as his burning legs melted a path for him. Glaceon trotted along ahead and into the trees. They walked for another minute or two until they came upon a cave. It wasn't very deep or warm, but it would suffice. It provided adequate enough shelter from the blowing snow.
Blaziken set May down on the ground, removing her backpack. He looked through it and found what he was looking for: her blanket. It was thin and worn, but it was better than nothing. He draped if over his trainer as Glaceon ice beamed the entrance to the cave, leaving a little hole on the far side so it could get out.
"Glace glace glaceon." Glaceon nodded its head towards the hole, telling Blaziken that it's going to try to find help.
Blaziken thought it wouldn't be good if they got separated, but he knew it was the only way to help May.
"Blaziken," he approved and then watched Glaceon slip through the hole and out into the raging blizzard.
Blaziken sat down beside May and held her close, putting every ounce of strength he had into giving her warmth.
