Making it to Slateport city, I stop at the Pokémon centre and enter myself into the Pokémon contest "alright! This is it..my second ribbon is going to be mine!" I said

"Alright..gang cmon out!"

"Cacnea!"

"Corphish!"

"Grovlye"

"Blu!"

"Mane!"

"This is it! The Pokémon contest is in two weeks! So let's get some training in" I said as they all nodded "now..Manetrick why don't you and Grovyle go and relax, I want to try my other Pokémon k. But I promise to use you two at the next gym."

"Trick"

"Vyle"

"Alright..now why don't we try, hold up.." I heard something in the distance, like a familiar voice "I heard May's voice but..the second one..it couldn't be.."

I run up the side..seeing the others and.."Drew!" "Hm?" I run up to him as both him and May looked towards me "Amber, when did you arrive?" May asked "not that long ago..as for you..why didn't you tell me you were here?!" I asked "is it my job to let you know where I am?"

"You know him?" May asked as I nodded "May this is Drew, he's my rival in Pokémon Contests. Drew these are my friends, May, Ash, Max and Brock." I said as I pointed to the others

"I heard some commotion..and decided to check it out. What have you done this time, Drew?" I asked him "nothing wrong..just telling her why she won't win the contest" Drew said "oh geez..May I'm so sorry for him.." I said "it's alright..at least Ambers nice enough to know that I'll win."

"Cmon..let's get outta here, we'll see ya Amber" I nod as I turn to Drew "mind telling me..why you want to upset my friends?" I asked "I don't get why they are your friends..there just a bunch of kids, waisting your time" he said "I can't believe you..let's go guys"

*that Drew..always trying to make me angry, if he thinks making fun of my friends is funny..he's got another thing coming to him*

~~

"Corphish..Bubblebeam!" I said throwing something in the air "Corphish!"

Corphish hit the object, but it don't work out how I wanted it to.."that won't work..I'm running out of ideas.." I said "let's take a walk..maybe I'll find something" I said as we walked through the forest

"Torchic!" I heard a Torchic falling not far from here "is that May's?! Corphish let's go!" "Phish!"

"Ah! May, Drew!" I stop beside May looking up and Drew "what's going on Drew?! Why does May look angry?" I asked "all I asked her to do is..battle me for the Bluck Barries" I look at May as she nodded smiling "why don't you battle me then? Same rules..I win, you give those Barries to May. You win..you get to keep them..so we have a deal?"

"Deal"

"This'll be a one on one battle, and begin!"

"Swablu..Showtime!"

"Roselia..Go!"

"Let's do this! Swablu..Fury Cutter lets go!" I Commanded as Swablu flew towards Roselia "Roselia, use petal dance" Drew commanded, Roselia, spin around sending petals

swablu's way.

"Swablu!"

"Stun Spore, Roselia!" Roselia sent out Stun Spore through its petals "Swablu! Are you okay?!"

"That was easy..I expected a lot more from you then that, Amber" Drew said "Swablu..Cmon girl get up please.."

"Roselia..finish it off with, Magical Leaf"

"Get up please!" I shouted "Blu.."

"Swablu..Dragon Pulse!" "Blu! Swa~..Blu!!"

"No way!" Roselia was blown away by the Dragon Pulse "no! Roselia!" Drew shouted "nice job, Swablu!"

"Hey! What's going on?" "Huh?!"

(Moto)

"Team Rocket!"

"Give those Barries back!" May shouted "Swablu..I want you to stay out of there sight..they can't grab you k" I whispered "Blu.."

I saw them fly off "let's go, Swablu! I'll talk to you later, Drew!" I said running after Team Rocket.

Pikachu tried to use Thunderbolt..but it didn't do a thing *they hooked a lighting drain thing..*

They tried again..but nothing "Solar Beam go!" My eyes widened when I saw the Solar Beam "Drew!" "Not sure what's going on but..happy to assist" he said as I smiled

"Alright Pikachu..Thunderbolt them again!"

"Corphish..Bubblebeam and Swablu, Dragon Pulse!"

"Roselia, Solar Beam!"

They got hit by the attack and was sent flying to who knows where "Swablu!!"

"Beautifly use String Shot!"

When I saw Swablu evolve..I was happy for her "return Roselia" I turn to Drew smiling "Drew..thanks for the help. And uh..sorry for yelling at you back there" I said "it's fine..I like it when you yell tho..makes you look cute" he said turning and walking away

My face was completely red after he said that "Taria?" "A..Amber! Are you okay?! Do you have a fever?!" May asked "c..Cute.."

"Taria? Altaria!"
