September 5th (Lilycove City, Hoenn)

(Dawn's POV)

I went back to my room to give everyone the feeling that I went back to bed. After waiting and making sure everyone was asleep, I crept down stairs to the computer room.

"Now let's see if Max really did trick out this house," I muttered as I quietly shut the door and began to type rapidly to pull up security footage from the backyard.

Much to my disappointment, it was too dark to see anything. I then smirked, "Let's see if Max's encrypting programs are on here."

I did some more typing and soon the picture was visible enough to see what was happening. The video started and showed two black dressed figures fighting. I was surprised by this and re-watched that part again, who are those two figures?

I then ran a scanning program to see if it could pick up any clues from the video. Unfortunately, nothing stood out, but I did notice that the one black person we didn't fight had a slight leg injury when fighting. Maybe it happened when he fell off the roof?

I then did a search of people checking into hospitals in Lilycove within the hour. I struck out seeing no persons came in with a leg injury. I then played the video through the entire fight especially when the intruder controlled that Frenzy Plant attack at me. Just as I thought, the assailant didn't dodge, they just stood there and the Frenzy Plant moved to my direction meaning they must have controlled it.

Since there was no more I could from watching the video footage, I decided the next thing to do was to check the area where the fight took place. But that would be difficult to do if I couldn't see, I need a gadget. I looked around the room hoping there might be a hidden storage place of gadgets. I then pressed a part of the wall and a keypad showed up along with a retina scanner.

"Please let us scan you for identification," an automated voice spoke.

I blinked in surprise but let my eyes be scanned, "Welcome Dawn, please input a password of your choice."

I did as they said and the keypad and scanner disappeared to open a cabinet of sorts with a few gadgets in it, "Welcome to your storage locker of available gadgets, have a pleasant evening," the automated voice said nicely.

Cool! The only gadgets that were the infrared sunglasses, the hologram projection ring, and a new gadget that looked like a belt with a heart in the center.

"I wonder what this gadget is?" I murmured while picking it up.

"That gadget is the cable bungee belt. Pick up the heart and aim it at the direction you need and you can lifted or dropped down where you need to go," the automated voice explained.

I looked at in amazement, not badly styled and just what I needed for a simple mission like this, thank you Max. I grabbed them and pressed a button for the sliding door to close. I then snuck back upstairs and dressed in black. I set up the hologram projection ring so that it looked like I was sleeping and grabbed Quilava's pokeball just in case.

I snuck out the window and stepped into the backyard. I then put on the sunglasses and started to look around. The glasses then zoomed in on a shell casing of sorts and I picked it up to place on a scanning tray of my poketch. After ten minutes the results were finished causing me to huff, we really need new poketches. The casing contained chemicals for creating smoke by force of impact, guess this casing didn't completely disintegrate.

I then noticed two sets of footprints in the damp grass, now to follow them. Wait....I need to do this without leaving my own knowing that everyone will find the footprints out as well. I looked at the trees, let's see if this bungee belt is any good. I did as the automated voice told me and was hoisted into the tree. Let's see where this set leads too.

I then kept jumping between tree limbs until I reached the school grounds making it impossible to distinguish whose footprints were whose. I then went back the way I came and started to follow the other set of footprints which led to a cave a short ways from the house.

"Looks like someone has been camping out here," I murmured as I looked around.

I went further in to discover that no one was there meaning the person skipped out. I yawned and looked at the time, crap, homeroom is in fifteen minutes!

I quickly made it back to my room and shut off the ring. I quickly changed, grabbed a granola bar and ran to the school. I looked at my poketch to see that the bell would ring in a minute, no time for me to take the stairs to the third floor.

I smirked and looked at the bungee belt, guess I'll have to improvise. I then took aim at the roof and slid up all the way. Then I took position from the roof and counted to three before I swung down to the right window and slid right into my correct seat as the belt released.

"Dawn Berlitz," the teacher called on the attendance seat not looking up.

"Here," I called causing everyone including the gang and even Paul to look surprised.

"Huh, I didn't see you come in" the teacher said surprised before continuing down the list.

"How in the world did you get here?" Gary asked shocked as I started to eat my granola bar.

"Seriously and where were you, we banged on your door and we heard nothing," Leaf added.

I shrugged, "I overslept, we did go to bed late last night."

Drew and Paul didn't buy it, "Uh huh, where did you go Troublesome?" Paul asked.

I gave him a bored look, "I have no idea what you're talking about, I was sleeping," I said bored while trying extremely hard to suppress a yawn.

"Quit it Dawn, your aura is showing you're exhausted so spill," Drew frowned.

I raised my eyebrows, "Are you reading auras like May now?"

He shrugged his shoulders, "I have been practicing quite a bit, but you're avoiding the question so talk."

The bell then rang and I stood up, "Guess we better get to class," I said cheerfully glad that the bell rang.

Everyone glared at me before they stood up to leave. I don't know why I didn't tell them what I did last night, guess I want to try to figure this out on my own since I'm the only one taking this seriously.

I noticed Paul left without me leaving me a little hurt, but I guess I deserve that since I did lie. I then left for class and walked into the hall bumping into someone.

"Watch where you're going bitch," a guy muttered before standing up and started to walk away with a slight limp.

I did a double take and watched the guy walk down the hall. Then I noticed a guy in the other hallway looking at him too. I switched my focus to the other guy, he was a little taller than me, dressed in skater type clothes and wore a beanie. The thing that struck out to me was that the guy looked a little feminine, I wonder who he is?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(May's POV)

I then felt someone staring at me and turned to see that Dawn was looking at me. She then frowned slightly as she saw my face, crap!

I then turned back down the hall and made my way to class. Something told me that Dawn was super suspicious about what happened with the Frenzy Plant last night and decided to investigate. Good thing I teleported to a cave further down, no doubt she must have looked at the one I had been staying in. I wonder why she was looking at the guy with the limp, does she know I fought him? Argh, I have too many questions and few answers.

During lunch, I trailed Timmy to his locker and I got a bad feeling because the lock looked like it was tampered with, "Hey Timmy, you heading to lunch?" I asked getting him to turn his attention to me.

"Yea, I wanted to get my lunch out," he said turning toward his locker again.

"Hey, I'll treat ya today," I said quickly causing Timmy to look at me in surprise.

"You don't need to do that," he said. "The lunch I brought with me will be fine."

Dang it, "Come on, it's popcorn chicken, tell me you don't want that," I said as convincingly as I could.

"Popcorn chicken does sound good," he said unsure.

"It's settled, I'll buy your lunch," I said while silently sighing in relief.

"Thanks," Timmy said with a smile as we walked to the lunchroom.

I then heard footsteps behind me and a brief glimpse of Dawn heading down another hallway.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(Dawn's POV)

I sure hope they didn't see me, I was walking to lunch when I saw those two guys talking and the guy in the beanie looked a little nervous as if trying to get the other kid from opening his locker. Better sneak a look while I still have the chance.

I put on the sunglasses and looked around to see if people were in the halls. After seeing the coast was clear, I walked to the locker and looked at it. It looked someone subtlety tried to force their way in. I took a closer look to see that the opening had an explosive device rigged to it causing to cover my mouth from gasping.

"Don't worry Timmy, I'll be right, I just need to use the bathroom," I heard beanie boy say.

I quickly ducked into the girl's bathroom in the hall and pretended for a minute to check my appearance before going to the door and sneakily peek out.

I then saw beanie boy at 'Timmy's' locker and look at it closely before pulling out the same sunglasses as me, "I knew it," I heard him mutter.

He then grabbed a paperclip and bent it into a hook shape and stuck it through one of the slits on the door. He then hooked the wires and made a motion with his free hand to a clenched fist to tighten the hook of the paperclip.

I blinked in surprise, tha.....that's not possible, did he just....bend metal?!?! He then pulled quickly and the wires came out. He sighed as well as me in silence that there was no explosion. He then opened the locker and got rid of the bomb parts and started to walk toward the cafeteria. I then walked back deeper into the bathroom and waited a few minutes before coming out.

I quickly looked at the time to see that I only had five minutes to eat, guess I'll have to look into the kid later. I then booked it for the lunchroom to grab at least a juice before they closed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(May's POV)

Good thing I was able to disable that bomb, no doubt there would have been a lot of problems if it went off. I put the bomb parts in my pockets as I walked back to the cafeteria. I sat down and started to quickly eat my lunch. While I was doing so, I looked to see Dawn running through the lunch line to grab a juice, didn't she grab lunch?

I then looked at the table where everyone else was sitting at and saw them looking annoyed with her, wonder why? Stop it May, you have a case to focus on. Whatever Dawn is having trouble with, she can fix herself.

The rest of the day was quiet and I decided the best course of action was to keep tabs on Timmy. So I tailed him and somewhat spied on him after school. I finished my sandwich that I brought me for my supper and looked at my poketch to see that it was 10:00 PM. Guess I better camp out in the trees tonight in case of anymore funny business.

Thirty minutes later as I was dosing, a buzzing went off in my ear to signal that someone was near Timmy's door. I quickly looked with my sunglasses and saw the figure in black. It looked like they were trying to break in. I quickly teleported to the side stairs and peeked down the hall to see the intruder break his way in.

I crept to the door and saw the moonlight reflect off the knife in his hands. I quickly grabbed the guy from behind and pulled him into the hallway. We then started to fight and he took off toward the stairs. I chased after him as he ran for the outskirts of the school toward the house again. I was finally able to overtake him about halfway there and we crashed to the ground.

Suddenly I felt myself being stabbed with something and I fell unconscious.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(Dawn's POV)

I was sitting in my room upstairs on my laptop while everyone else was down in command central still investigating last night's fight. They didn't tell me to join the pow-wow probably because they are still mad at me, but at least I'm not missing anything.

I hacked into the school's student records trying to find the identities of both students. I found Mason's (beanie boy's) file first. It had the basic info, but it seemed fake and it was missing a few major pieces. I then face-palmed at my stupidity, Mason Laymin, Linnea/May Mason along with the bending and the high level martial arts. Guess this explains why May hasn't shown up for class yet.

So what mission is she trying to do and why hasn't she said anything to us? I then tried to find the identity of the other kid with the limp, but I didn't see his face well enough to recognize him and I don't know his name making it impossible to figure out who he is.

I closed my laptop and decided to take a walk to try and clear my head. After setting up the ring and taking Piplup's pokeball for precaution, I slipped out the window and made my way to the school.

As I was walking, Piplup let himself out of his pokeball, "What's with you and everyone else, they seem to be ignoring you."

I sighed, "I haven't told them where I was last night and I kinda denied to their faces that I was sleeping."

"Why?" he asked as he tilted his head.

"I don't know, I guess I wanted to figure it out myself and now I want May to finish her mission without us interfering especially since she didn't tell us what she was doing in the first place," I explained.

I then saw some bushes that looked flat and decided to investigate.

I walked closer and gasped, "Oh my Mew! May!" I cried as I ran to her side as Piplup looked at me strangely.

"This is May, she went undercover as a freshman guy and you can't tell anyone," I said sternly.

He nodded and looked concerned, "What should we do?"

"Let me check her pulse," I said quickly as I put two fingers to her neck and noticed that she was covered in sweat.

"It looks like she's been poisoned," I said breathily as I felt her forehead to feel a fever.

I then heard voices nearby, crap. I grabbed under May's arms and dragged her behind some shrubs to hide her.

"Piplup, stay her and watch May, I'm gonna sneak to the house and grab some stuff to help," I said causing Piplup to nod.

As soon as the voices disappeared, I ran to the house and crawled through my window. I peeked into the hall seeing that everyone's lights were off signaling everyone probably went to bed. I then crept to the kitchen to find the berries, herbs, and medicines that I would need from the short lesson May taught us about creating antidotes for poisons.

I went back to my room and shut the door to hear "Where do you think you're going?"

I quickly turned around in fear to find Paul leaning against the wall behind the door. I then scowled, "I went to take a walk, is that a problem?"

I then turned to walk toward the window, but I felt an arm grab me, "I don't like being lied to Troublesome. Now spill, what have you been doing?" he said harshly.

I felt his grip on my arm tighten causing me to wince in pain, "Paul, can't you let me go about my business in secret?"

"No, for all I know, you could be doing something stupid or putting yourself in danger. I think it's my right as your boyfriend to know why you are sneaking around and lying to everyone including me," he growled.

I sighed in frustration, "It's complicated!" I snapped in a whisper.

"Explain," he said sternly.

"I can't for the sake of someone else and this someone else needs medical treatment so can I go now?" I asked harshly.

"No, not until you explain what you have been doing," he said again.

I wanted to stomp my foot and scream, figures I had to fall in love with the guy who is like a statue. I then kissed him hard catching him by surprise and pressed pressure points on his wrist so he could let go of my arm.

I took a step back and smirked while he scowled, "You wouldn't let me go," I explained before sighing. "You can come and I'll explain everything, but you can't tell anyone else."

I then turned to walk to the window only to be grabbed by the arm again, spun around, and kissed fully for thirty seconds, "That's for getting me," he said with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes and tried to kiss him, but he moved away, "You don't get to do that until I hear the full story," he said causing me to scowl.

"Fine," I huffed before looking at my bedside clock to see that twenty minutes had passed since I left May. "We need to go."

I left through the window with Paul following me and then I immediately broke into a sprint with Paul beside me. I then told him everything that I saw and what I had dug up investigating. We then got to May and saw Piplup using Water Gun lightly to try and keep her fever down.

He looked in surprise to see Paul, "What is he doing here, I thought you said that no one was to know," he said confused.

"No one was supposed to, but unfortunately he put me in a position of where I couldn't leave without explaining," I huffed annoyed.

"Technically Troublesome, you escaped with that maneuver you pulled so you didn't have to tell me," Paul retorted.

"Really because after I escaped, you caught me again," I snapped as I started to mash up the berries and herbs together.

"Do you really have to have a pointless lover's argument right now," Piplup moaned in disgust.

Paul and I rolled our eyes as I finished mashing everything to a liquid. I then had Paul help May sit up so I could give her the antidote. I checked her pulse to feel it start to go back to normal causing me to sigh in relief, "She'll be fine, a little dizzy when she wakes up, but she'll be back to herself in no time."

Piplup chirped happily while Paul looked indifferent, "Thanks for the help Piplup, return," I said gratefully as I returned him to his pokeball.

I then stood up and yawned, "I really need to go to bed, I'm exhausted."

"How long exactly have you been awake?" Paul asked.

I looked at my poketch, "About forty-two hours," I said with a yawn.

Suddenly, I was swept off my feet bridal style causing me to blush, "To what do I owe this pleasure?" I spluttered.

"Don't expect it often Troublesome, I just feel generous tonight," Paul huffed though I could have sworn that I saw a light blush causing me to smile.

"Thanks," I murmured softly as I snuggled closer and fell asleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

September 6th (Lilycove City, Hoenn)

(May's POV)

Ugh....where am I? I looked around to see that it was still dark and that the dark blobs seemed to form trees and bushes. It then came back to me in a quick flash that I was injected with poison causing me to sit up in fear. I then felt a wave of dizziness hit me almost causing me to lay back down. I also then realized this wasn't where I was attacked, did someone move me?

After recovering from the dizziness, I stood up remembering Timmy and the hooded figure. Crap! I need to see if Timmy's okay. I then ran up and into the tree by his dorm, quickly put on the infrared sunglasses, and looked inside. His room seemed untouched and I could see that Timmy's body heat was normal meaning he was safe.

I slumped back against the tree catching my breath. That was way too close. I noticed that the sun started to rise so I quickly left so I could get ready for classes. In between classes, I kept tabs on Timmy and the thing that bothered me was that no strange things have happened yet.

"Mason, what is the main point the author is trying to convey in his poem?" the teacher asked.

I inwardly sighed, guess thinking about Timmy will have to wait.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(Dawn's POV)

I was sleeping soundly until I heard someone typing a laptop and I felt something warm next to me. I opened my eyes to see Paul still in his sweatpants and undershirt from last night in my bed leaning against the backboard typing something on his laptop.

"I must be dreaming," I muttered sleepily causing Paul to notice I was awake.

"Why do you say that Troublesome?" he asked as he continued to type.

I blushed slightly and sat up giving him an 'are-you-serious' look, "Why exactly are you in my bed?"

"To keep an eye on you and made sure you slept in," he said still typing.

I then looked at the clock to see that it was 1:30 PM, "What the Hell!" I shouted as I looked at the clock in shock.

"You needed the sleep and to make sure you didn't sneak off and do something stupid, I decided to skip and keep an eye on you," he said gruffly shutting his laptop.

I smirked, "Rrrriiiiight, you know you could have called out one of my pokemon to watch me or did you feel the need that you couldn't be without me."

Paul scoffed, "You wish Troublesome."

My smirk grew bigger, "Uh huh, says the guy who could have sat anywhere, but decided to be in bed with me."

Paul stared straight ahead with a slight blush causing me to grin.

I then tapped a finger against my cheek in thought, "Is Paulie actually becoming a softie, just like a Teddiursa?" I asked teasingly.

Suddenly I was pushed back down with my wristed pinned, "Would you still say I'm a Teddiursa Troublesome?" Paul whispered huskily in my ear causing me to blush.

"No, you're still same grumpy Ursaring we all know and love," I huffed causing Paul to look at me with smirk before kissing me slowly.

"Good, then I'm doing my job," Paul said with a smirk as he sat back up and opened his laptop.

I then sat up, "Jerk," I muttered as I hit him on arm lightly before looking over to see what was on the screen. "What are you looking at?"

"While you were sleeping, I'm been monitoring May and the target Timmy through the school's security cameras," Paul explained.

"Speaking of May, did you tell the others what I told you?" I asked worried.

Paul rolled his eyes, "You really think I told them?"

"What, I didn't know what you would do, sometimes it's hard to figure you out," I said exasperated before calming down. "So what did the others say to you ditching?"

"I told them that I would keep an eye on you and tell them anything that I found out that seemed suspicious," Paul said as he shrugged his shoulders.

I looked at him with concern, "Would you have told them?" I asked quietly.

Paul sighed heavily, "Not in this case where you're trying to help keep May's cover, and besides, I'm not gonna be the asshole boyfriend to rat out my girlfriend."

I smiled and kissed his cheek before laying my head on his shoulder and watched the multiple security feeds on Paul's laptop. I then noticed in a slightly busy hallway that one kid who had a limp looking like he was determined.

"Wait a minute, that's the kid who knocked me over yesterday," I said urgently. "Can you pull up the feed?"

"Care to explain?" Paul asked while he did as I asked.

"So when I was looking at the security feed from the video of the attack here, I looked back before the fight and saw that May was fighting another person who fell off the roof meaning he would have gotten an injury for it. So then in the hall, both May and I noticed that the guy walked with a limp meaning he has to be the one May fought. Can you hack into the school's online records to see who this guy is?" I asked.

"Do you really need to ask Troublesome?" Paul huffed as he pulled up the school's records. "The kid's name is Mikey Arndt, says he's a sophomore and that he's from Johto, he transferred in this year."

"Is he in the database of criminals for PHPA?" I asked.

Paul typed on his laptop some more, "He's not in the system meaning he isn't deemed dangerous or he hasn't been caught."

Paul then switched back to the video feed showing Mikey getting a big bag from his locker, "I don't like that looks of that," I said concerned.

I then got out of bed and started to grab some clothes to change into, "Troublesome, what are you doing?"

"Changing, what else," I snapped as I walked into the closet to change, but left the door open a crack so I could still hear Paul.

"I can see that," he said sarcastically. "What I meant was what are you doing getting up?"

"Well, if this kid tried to bomb a locker, his next move will be worse and we need to protect May," I explained while changing.

"She can handle herself Troublesome," Paul huffed.

"I know that, but right now, she's facing a dangerous person with no back up what-so-ever and no one would know if she got hurt. That's why we need to keep an eye on her," I explained as I quickly snuck a throwing knife in my boot and grabbed a cropped black jacket to complete my ensemble of dark blue skinny jeans and a heather grey tank top.

I then came out to quickly brush my hair and find that Paul had left. I then put on the bungee belt and stick the infrared sunglasses on top on my head. I then went downstairs to grab a quick snack before Paul came down.

He came down a few minutes later and we ran toward the school, "Where are they?" I asked.

Paul then pressed some buttons on his poketch, "There's someone on the roof of the freshman dorm."

I nodded in understanding as we got to the building. I then took aim with the bungee belt and let it stick up top causing Paul to raise an eyebrow.

"It's a gadget Max invented, I'll explain where I got it later," I said quickly as I put an arm around him and was able to hoist both of us up.

"Guess this explains how you snuck into homeroom," Paul whispered as we watched we hid behind some vents.

We then peeked around the corner to see that Mikey had assembled a sniper rifle and was positioning it in place to aim at the academic building.

"Looks like he's ready to assassinate Timmy," I whispered worriedly.

"You know it's illegal to have guns on school grounds," I heard a familiar guy voice call.

I then looked to see Mason on the roof of the academic building.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(May's POV)

I looked down from the roof to see that our mystery assassin of sorts, who I later learned was named Mikey, was positioning a sniper rifle at the window of where Timmy was right now.

"So you're the one who keeps foiling my plans, guess I have to get rid of you," he said evilly as he pointed a handgun at me equipped with a silencer.

I frowned in annoyance, there was no way I could protect myself from a bullet without using my powers and causing suspicion. Suddenly I saw a blur of light on something shiny hit Mikey's hand causing him to yell in pain and drop the gun giving me time to jump to the other rooftop. Mikey recovered and then swung a fist at me. I dodged and returned a couple swift punches in return to numb his arm.

This caused him to panic giving me time to cuff his hands behind his back, "Looks like your killing days are over," I snapped.

He growled at me as I shoved him to kneel, I then pulled out a cell phone and called Steven, "You might want to come to the roof of the freshmen dorm, there's someone you might want to see."

I then hung up and looked at Mikey, "Why were you trying to kill Timmy?" I asked.

Mikey huffed, "Because Timmy's mom put my parents in prison for embezzling so I decided to take her son like she took my parents."

I remembered hearing that story on the news. Two employees at the company Timmy's mom runs were caught embezzling millions and were put in jail for at least thirty years.

"Is this the student causing trouble?" Steven asked causing me to turn around.

I nodded, "He wired Timmy's locker with a bomb, tried to murder Timmy with a knife while sleeping, and he was gonna try to kill him with a sniper rifle," I explained as I pointed to the gun behind me.

"Thanks so much May, I'll tell Timmy's parents at once," he said causing Mikey to look at me in shock.

"You're May Maple?!" he asked in shock.

I smirked, "Looks can be deceiving,' I said slyly before looking at Steven in confusion. "Did you tell Timmy's parents about what was happening?"

Steven shook his head, "No, I recently heard from Timmy's mom yesterday that she was the one responsible for the mysterious note. Apparently she heard that you were attending school here this year and she thought that you could figure out who was trying to harm Timmy. So she transferred him here knowing the attacker would follow and that you could stop him," Steven explained.

I nodded in understanding as Officer Jenny arrived to take charge of the situation. I then went into Steven's office to give a statement as the bell rang ending classes.

"So how was it being undercover?" Steven asked.

"It wasn't that bad, I've done worse," I said with a shrug. "Do you mind if I go? I haven't seen my friends in over a month and I'm pretty sure they'll kill me if I don't show up soon."

Steven smiled and nodded, "See you in classes tomorrow."

I nodded and left the academic building. I then saw a flash of bright light and turned to see something shiny on the ground. I walked over to it and saw that it was a throwing knife with a snowflake sketched on the end. I grinned knowing who would toss a knife like this. I quickly pocketed it and left for the house. I snuck my way in through my bedroom window and poked my head out the door to hear no one moving around.

I looked around to see that no one was home. I then decided to head toward the beach when I heard some vibrations from the ground coming from the direction of the beach. I ran there to see a machine had caught the gang in metal type tentacles.

"I'll ask again where is May Maple?" a voice from an intercom shouted.

"We don't know, we haven't seen her in a month and half!" Misty shouted in anger as she tried to escape.

"You know where she is, now tell me!" the voice shouted.

I sighed and then stepped out from my hiding space, "You know, if a person says they don't know where someone is, they don't know," I explained bored.

"Who are you, do you know where May Maple is?" the voice asked.

I smirked, "Why don't you come and find out," I said slyly as I gestured with my hand for them to come.

A metal tentacle then came toward me and I took a step to dodge before making a gesture with my hand as if I was pulling a sword out of the other. A sword of aura then appeared and I quickly ran up the arm to start slashing the arms that held the gang captive. I then landed behind the metal robot heaving a little as all that swiping took a lot of energy. The sword then disappeared and I created a bow and arrow instead with lightning attached to the tip. I took aim at a crack in the robot and fired. The arrow hit its mark causing sparks to appear from all over and shut the robot down while a person started to crawl out and run away.

I then summoned a Solar Beam to knock the dumb thing elsewhere, "Good riddance," I muttered as I saw that everyone was staring at me in shock.

"I think this belongs to you," I said to Dawn as I tossed the knife to her and she caught it quite easily causing everyone to stare at her in shock.

"Would someone explain to me what the heck is going on?!"Leaf said exasperated as she sat on the ground.

"What do you want explained first?" I asked.

"Just who the heck are you?" Misty asked annoyed and suspicious.

I smirked and took off the voice alterer, "I think you guys can figure that out for yourselves," I teased.

"Wait.....May! Why are you dressed as a guy?" Leaf spluttered.

"I had to go undercover and stop an assassination from happening within the school," I explained causing everyone, but Dawn and Paul, to go in an uproar.

I sighed and explained everything that happened calming them down slightly, but they were still peeved.

"So I'm guessing you're the one responsible for curing me of the poison," I said to Dawn. "So when did you figure out I was Mason."

"I pieced stuff together. Next time, don't direct a Frenzy Plant at me," she snapped. "After digging up on stuff and Paul catching on to me, we figured it out and decided to tail you this afternoon. Good thing we did."

I nodded and smirked, "So what's the story with that?" I asked gesturing to the knife in her hand.

"This, well.....ever since the fight last May, I decided that picking up an additional fighting skill wouldn't be that bad so I picked up throwing knifes," Dawn explained causing everyone to look at her in disbelief.

I then saw behind her that someone was trying to sneak up on us. Dawn took notice and threw the knife at them catching onto their shirt and pinning them to a nearby tree.

Dawn grinned at her work while everyone else looked in shock, "Does your mother know about this Troublesome?" Paul asked tiredly.

Dawn nodded, "I asked her permission before I started to train. She was hesitant at first, but she got used to the idea seeing how well I've been doing."

"This is just way too weird," Ash said in disbelief. "Dawn throws knives while May can summon swords, am I dreaming?"

Gary then walked up behind Ash and hit him on the upside of the head causing Ash to shout in pain, "No Ashy-Boy, I say that you're wide awake."

Suddenly I was it by Misty's mallet on the head, "That's for numbing up my arm," she snapped. "How did you do that anyways?"

"It's part of the training Maylene and I learned from Greta. A form of fighting that blocks your opponent's energy causing a temporary form of paralysis," I explained. "As you saw, it's pretty effect."

"And makes you feel like crap," Paul grunted.

"Hey May, did you really cut your hair or are you wearing a wig?" Leaf asked.

"I cut it, didn't have time to order a wig so I decided to cut it," I explained.

"Wow, looks like you're gonna look like a guy for a while then," Drew teased.

"Not necessarily grasshead," I said with a smirk.

I then sat on the ground and focused on my inner energy as if ready to transform like in receiving power from Arceus. But I focused it on the part where the only part of me that transforms is my hair. I then felt hair touch my neck and continue down my back.

I opened my eyes to see that my hair had grown a lot long that expected like three times as long causing me to sigh, "Great, now I look like freakin' Rapunzel."

I then formed an aura knife and cut my hair so that it reached mid back, I could go have it styled later.

"Well that was plain out weird to watch," Misty commented. "What are you gonna do with the access hair?"

I grinned and snapped my fingers for a flame to appear and set the cut off hair on fire, "You have some issues to work out," Gary said tiredly.

"Well how else am I supposed to get rid of it, I don't want to have it lying around so that an evil scientist can make clones," I explained.

They looked at me with 'are-you-serious' looks, "What, a mad scientist did try to make evil clones of me one time, ask Max."

They shook their heads, "Well, now that you're back, I say that we should go shopping," Dawn said excitedly.

"No," everyone said flatly.

"I'll go," I said causing Dawn to look thrilled, but everyone else to look at me like I was crazy.

"You want a death wish?" Misty asked.

I shrugged my shoulders, "I need to get some stuff anyways. Besides, it'll be fun."

"Then it's settled, we girls can go shopping while we will let the guys stay here," Dawn stated.

"Thank goodness," Gary muttered as everyone started to walk up toward the house though Drew stayed put.

"I'll catch up with you guys later," I shouted before I turned to face Drew. "You okay?"

He then hugged me, "I missed you."

I smiled softly as I hugged him back, "I missed you too."

We kissed and then I looked at Drew to see that he looked a little hurt causing me to sigh, "Are you mad at me that I didn't tell you what I was doing?"

He sighed and looked down, "A little, I can understand why you didn't, but it still hurt."

I hugged him again, "I'm sorry, but Steven asked me not to tell you, otherwise I would have."

"I know," Drew said with a small grin as he took my hand. "Thank you though for keeping your promise."

I smiled and kissed him again, "I knew that you want to see me when I finished training."

"Too bad for the missions though," Drew said tiredly.

I nodded, "At least I'm back, I hope. I really just want to hang with you guys for a while."

Drew smirked and flicked his hair, "Good because otherwise I would have held you hostage."

I rolled my eyes, "Uh huh."

Suddenly I felt myself being swept off my feet, "I wasn't kidding airhead."

I chuckled as Drew kissed me again before we walked hand and hand up to the house.
