May walked into the pokecenter.
"I'd like to enter the contest, please." May asked her. She let her eyes dance around the pokecenter. The pokecenters in Kalos were a lot different from those in Hoenn. More modern, that's it.
"Why sure! You need a partner though. There is one coordinator who is still looking for a partner." Nurse Joy cheerily told her.
"Would you mind telling me their name?" May asked. She wasn't familiar with team competitions.
"Sure! His name is Drew Hayden!" Nurse Joy checked the status of the competition. She smirked upon saying that name.
"D-Drew?" May wasn't quite energized enough to scream at the poor nurse, so she instead questioned her. "Is he the only one?"
"I believe so." Nurse Joy grew silent for a second as she searched the screen once more. She was praying that nothing else would come up, but she knew she couldn't lie. "I'm sorry. There's no one else. There's only five minutes lef-"
"Oh, its fine. I'll go with him!" May shouted at her, causing the nurse to jump back. Its not that May wanted to go with him. Well... Maybe a little. But she was desperate for the prize money. Eating the cheapest of cheap food, and sleeping in a tent in ally ways wasn't preferable.
"He is probably at his room. His room number is 308, you should go meet him." Audino walked beside the Nurse, alerting her about a patient. "So sorry, I have to go. Call me if you need me!" The nurse began to scurry back to the patient's room.
"Its okay, thank you!" May thanked the nurse before walking towards the elevator. 'Hope this isn't too sudden.' May thought to herself. She entered the elevator, jamming the button that said "3". She waited for the door to open at her destination.
Once the door opened, she stepped out. Rooms 1-10 were to her left, and rooms 11-20 were on her right. She began to walk left. She stopped at room 308. She smoothed her shirt, making sure she looked presentable. Not that she liked him or anything.
She knocked on the door. One time soft, another three strong, finishing with one solid knock. Her signature. The door slowly opened.
"M-May?!" Drew let down his cool attitude. Only a towel was wrapped around his waist. Usually, he would greet her with his signature smart @$$ remark, it he was in a towel in front of his crush. His priorities had been greatly altered.
"D-Drew?! Why are you in a towel?!" May screamed. Both of them were beat red.
"Shush, come in." Drew whispered, yanking her in. The room was nice, simple, but nice. "Sit on my bed while I change." He walked into the bathroom. May could her the click of the doors lock. She sat there for a minute before he came out.
"Why are you here, April?" Now in clothes, he could finally go back to calling her by every other month on the calendar but May.
"We're partners in the upcoming competition!" May told him, her cheery manor making her sound like a crazed fangirl.
"No, why are you in Kalos? And why are you my partner?" Drew asked her, flicking his hair for good measure.
"I'm in Kalos because I was bored, and I'm your partner because you were my only option." May looked at him. "We need a plan, the competition starts soon." Drew looked at her quizzically, before leaning towards her. May blushed upon their close contact.
"Let's discuss our strategy then, shall we?" Drew smirked at her, plopping a rose in her lap.
~le time skip ~
"Our first coordinators are May and Drew from Hoenn!" Marinette, another cheery, yet French, announcer introduced them to the audience.
"Don't mess this up Grasshead, I'm broke." May whispered to Drew harshly.
"That's why you look so, so... Unkept. Come to my room after this is all done." Drew whispered back.
"Begin!" Marinette shouted. The timer on the big screen began to chip away time.
"Maskeraid, smell the roses!" Drew threw out his pokeball. He earned a stare from May as a result of his new catchphrase.
"Beautifly, hit the stage!" May called out her Pokemon. Both flying types called out to the audience, for appeals sake.
~time skip because dis doesnt matter~
"May and Drew get an impressive score of 9.8!" Marinette called out. She motioned for an applause to start, and so got thy applause.
"Well done, April." Drew smirked at May as he tosses her a rose.
"Oh. My. Arceus! They're totally in love!" One girl calls out from the crowd.
"I agree! Happy contestshipping day!" Another calls out.
"It is soooo canon!" They audience screamed as though you readers had been copied and pasted into it, or were you?
Both coordinators blushed on instinct. Marinette shrugged and called out the next duo.
"Next we have Harley and Solidad!" Marinette welcomed the duo.
They both called out their pokemon, Solidad calling out Lapras, Harley calling out Cacturn. Solidad had Lapras use multiple attacks in order to create something interesting to look at. Harley had his Cacturn spell something very specific with vine whip.
"Happy Contestshipping Day
2016
(May x Drew)" Is what it read. Needless to say, they got a 10/10 on their performance.
After winning the competition, Solidad and Harley were ready to complete their plan.
"Hey sugar cookies!" Harley caught the duo's attention as they headed towards Drew's room. "Happy contestshipping day!" Harley released balloons fit for the occasion.
"What do you want Harley?" Drew stepped in front of Harley, annoyed with the fact that he had come near them.
"Its cute when you're defensive of her!" Solidad squealed from behind Harley.
"Shut up." Drew muttered in response.
"Well we have an offer. We know that May is a bit broke. We can help. If you do what we ask, you two can split our winnings!" Solidad smirked, not a good sign.
"And what is that?" May asked, desperate to get off the streets.
"Kiss each other so we can update the contestshipping blog!" Harley squealed in his girlish voice.
May didn't need a second command. She pulled Drew towards her and gave him a long, passionate kiss. She stopped when Harley said she could.
"Happy contestshipping day Drew." She whispered, as she walked ahead to his room.
