Ok, this is my first ever fan-fic.
It is an AdvanceShipping crossover between Twilight (favourite book series) and Pokemon.
Don't bash me if I'm not too good. Just leave a WHOLE lot of constructive criticism
Well...what else can I say?
Enjoy.
Chapter 1
Rain.
I hate the rain.
It reminds me of Him.
My family and I are moving…again.
But to Fortree!
Fortree is Hoenn’s rain capital. In Fortree, it rains most of the year. In fact, a day where the Sun is even visible is somewhat rare.
And me, a person who absolutely despises the rain, is moving there. It’s unbelievable, but my parents don’t take any notice of my protests. Even though my Dad was a Gym Leader in our old town, we still move out here so he can be Gym Leader at ANOTHER gym.
Honestly, I don’t know what goes through their heads sometimes.
Well, at least we won’t be staying in the tree houses. We’ll be staying in a normal area of town, where the houses foundations of the houses are attached to the ground. At least that will make life a little bit easier.
A tear rolled down my cheek, but I quickly wiped it away before anyone could notice, and I went back to thinking about him.
Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is May Maple, I’m seventeen and I live in a family of four.
This family of mine truly didn’t understand me. My Dad, Norman, nice as he is, knows absolutely nothing about me as he is always battling in his precious gym, so he rarely spends his time with the rest of his family, so he doesn’t know us as well as he could.
My Mom, Caroline, tries harder, but she just doesn’t get me. She is obsessed with dressing me up in pretty dresses, though if she knew me, she would know that I hate dressing up, and that I will only do it for very special occasions.
Max, my younger brother honest to God, he lives to annoy me. He never stops with his ‘witty’ remarks. Ugh, I could just rip his head off sometimes. If only I wasn’t such a klutz, I might be able to do that. And the thing that really gets to me is that my parents always compare me next to him. He is an absolute nerd who spends a good deal of time at home studying for the next big test instead of hanging out with his friends. I just can’t believe him sometimes.
“Are we there yet?” I heard Max chime for the billionth time this trip, making both Mom and Dad sigh simultaneously and snapping me out of deep thought mode.
“No, Max, we still have about another thirty minutes of driving left.
“But I’m bored,” the boy whined, a small glint in his eyes.
Both parents sighed again. “Fine, Max, you can play on your little gameboy thing the rest of the way.”
“Yes!” the boy called exuberantly and he ripped a small black device from his pocket, “But it’s called a DS. Honestly, I thought you guys knew better.”
Neither parents responded to his taunts and Max pouted at the lack of response for his remark. But his eyes quickly glazed over as the DS gained complete control over his being.
I returned my eyes to the outside, watching aimlessly without seeing, as I was thinking about him.
=====================================================
I collapsed onto my bed, awfully tired after the long car trip from Petalburg to Fortree. I looked towards the few boxes containing my valuables that lay together in the corner of my new room.
I looked to my five pokéballs that rested on the dresser that adorned the eastern side of the room. Sighing, I fell contentedly backwards so that my head rested peacefully on the pillow, and within seconds I fell into a slumber.
=====================================================
I collapsed to my knees as I watched the villa in front of me burst into flames. Within seconds, the fire had reached the level of an inferno, and thick black smoke drifted off into the stormy night sky.
A harmony of screams reverberated from within the house, and I knew I was helpless to do anything about it. I watched on as the house in which He lived in smouldered, the foundations cracking beneath the strength of the blaze.
Water poured from the skies, but it could not penetrate the layer of heat that radiated from the blaze, so it was unable to help contain the inferno.
A lone tear found its way down my cheek mixed in the condensation on my face, as my wide eyes gazed upon the brilliance of the fire. Sirens could be heard far into the distance, speeding towards the scene, but I knew they would not make it in time to save the family.
I grappled with two pokéballs that were on my belt, quickly releasing their tenants. A fowl pokémon, Combusken, appeared out of one, and a small turtle, Squirtle, emerged from the other.
I attempted to tell them what to do, but no words seemed to come out. I clutched at my throat, thinking something was wrong, but the two creatures seemed to know what to do, and quickly, silent in their work.
Soon enough, all the sounds around me were drowned out bar the gut-wrenching screams that were emitting from inside. Even with the arrival of the fire brigade, no sounds seemed to penetrate my ear drums.
A pair of strong arms lifted me from behind, and I struggled against the firm grip, screaming at him in my seemingly silent voice to let me go, but I knew that there was no hope. I saw my two pokémon being pulled away in a similar fashion by two large Blastoise, while a platoon of other water-pokémon and fire-fighters all battled against the raging inferno.
I was pulled behind one of the firetrucks and an oxygen mask was pulled over my face. I screamed at them that I didn’t need it, and they seemed to hear it, but paid no heed to my words.
Finally, the screeches of pain that were coming from the house ended, one by one. When the last voice grinded to a halt, my eyes grew wide, allowing more tears to stream down my face. Hearing returned, and now the sounds of the fireman who was tending to me could be heard, his voice filled with concern.
My seemed to freeze in time as the realisation of what had happened hit me.
My boyfriend.
He was dead.
My eyes were waterfalls now, and pulled my head in close to the fireman, who was taken aback, but tried to soothe my sobbing cries.
My surroundings suddenly disappeared into a swirl of darkness, a void engulfing me.
A floating sensation numbed my body, and in front of me, his face could be seen, brightening the dark with a brilliant radiance.
His light green hair shone with the aura that surrounded his face, and blew as if there was a wind whipping it up. His eyes sparkled, the chartreuse colouring catching an invisible light which danced vibrantly in his eyes. His pale face had a joyful smirk on it that accompanied his eyes beautifully, and sparked fond memories in May’s heart.
Slowly but surely, the radiant aura that surrounded him melted into the surrounding darkness, taking his face with it. The last visible part of him was his chartreuse eyes. But they were no longer sparkling, but had taken on a duller colour that shone through with sorrow.
I reached out my hands in protest, my eyes renewing their waterfall over my now puffy red eyes. I screamed his name out after him, as if hoping that I might catch his attention.
“DREW!!!”
I sat straight up in her bed, a small squeak emitting from my lips. A film of sweat had covered my body, making my clothes stick to my skin in an uncomfortable way.
Why did I have that dream? Augh, I miss him so much. Why did he have to die? I want him to be back here, so then maybe my life wouldn’t be so miserable.
A few tears had escaped down from my eyes during the time that the dream sequence had taken place, and I quickly wiped them off of my face with my index finger.
I glanced towards my left wrist, which had a small watch clasped around it. The small analogue pointed towards the directions that showed that the time was 3:17am.
Groaning sullenly, I fell back onto my pillow in hopes of falling asleep again.
No such luck.
My wet and sticky clothes made sleeping in the bed impossible, so I pulled back the covers and quietly pulled myself off the bed. Walking over to the box that was labelled clothes, I reached in and pulled myself out a nightgown (I had gone to bed fully clothed minus the shoes) and headed down to the bathroom silently.
Reaching the bathroom, I grabbed a towel out of the in the corner of the room and shut the door behind me. I prepared myself for the day ahead, and crossed my fingers in hope that no-one would wake up.
=====================================================
“Mom, why won’t you let me get a car?” I asked him in a whining voice. Caroline was taking me to school, and we were arguing over the issue of getting a new car.
“Because we don’t want to spend perfectly good money on you when either of us can just drive you to the places you need to go,” Caroline answered quite happily, keeping her eyes fixed on the road.
“But I have a drivers licence, and I WANT to drive around the place. So why won’t you let me buy a car?!” Aimee complained, her face set in a pout.
“There are no buts about it, missy. You are not getting a car with our money.” Caroline pulled into the front of the school.
“Can I buy it with my own money?” I asked hopefully as I opened the door and climbed out of the car. I leaned back in, “I’ll pay for everything, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Fine, now go away,” Caroline told the girl with a grin on her face. I smiled back and shut the door. Grabbing my bag from the back of the car, I took a deep breath and walked into the school.
I looked up to the skies. Overcast, I thought to myself as I examined the grey clouds in the sky above me.
I saw a battle going on with a crowd of on-lookers. I slowly walked over there, watching the battlers intensely. One side had a Swampert out, and was ordering it calmly, while the other was using an Alakazam, but without too much luck.
“Alakazam, use Psychic and bring that Swampert down!” The boy who was using the Alakazam ordered. The pokémon obeyed quickly and closed its eyes in concentration.
“Swampert, use a Hydro Pump quickly,” the other boy commanded calmly, and the mud-fish pokémon released a blast of water that smashed into the Psychic pokémon, knocking it out.
One side of spectators let out cries of victory, while the other group sulked.
The boy who won walked up to his fallen opponent and held out his hand.
“Cough it up.” The boy who lost handed the other boy five bucks, recalled his pokémon and ran off, probably to heal it.
Remembering I had to get to the administration office, I decided to get someone to show me. I ran up to one of the boys from the winning side and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around, a massive grin still on his face.
“Yeah?” he asked loudly. He obviously hadn’t brushed his teeth in a little while, so his breath was horrible.
“Uh, could you show me to the administration office,” I breathed in again and remembered his breath, “Or maybe someone else, I need to get something.”
“Sure,” he answered, his grin widening still, until another hand tapped him on the shoulder, and his grin shrunk.
“I will take the lovely young lady to the administration office.” It was the boy with the Swampert, who was still out of his pokéball, “If you don’t mind Stuart.”
I blushed at his words and the boy obviously named Stuart just nodded. He gestured for me to follow him. We walked off together, his Swampert inbetween us.
“My name is Brendan,” he told me politely, “What’s yours?”
“I’m May,” I answered, “I just moved here from Petalburg.” He opened the door for me into the office.
“Petalburg? Really? I come from there too,” Brendan said as he followed me through the door.
I walked over to the counter where a woman was tapping at the keys on a computer. “Ah, miss,” I tried to get her attention.
“Yes?” she asked without turning her attention from the keyboard, “What do you want?”
“I’m the new student, so I need to pick up my timetable,” I crossed my arms and leaned on the counter.
“May Maple? Ok,” she stroked a few more keys and the printer in the corner sprung to life. While what was probably my timetable was printing, she grabbed a piece of paper that was a map of the school to me, “Here’s the map, and the timetable will tell you where to go.”
She grabbed the timetable out of the printer and handed it to me, “Now go away, I’ve got work to do.”
“Uh, thanks.” I backed off, and turned back to Brendan. He was smiling and holding the door open for me.
“Come on, let’s get you to your first class.”
