Through Norman's Eyes

Chapter 4

"Norman, come on! You're going to be late," Caroline huffed firmly.

"What?" I asked, racking my brain for things that I might be forgetting. "Is there a challenger I promised a rematch to?"

Caroline slapped her forehead. "Do you really forget every time? May's contest is on in five minutes!!!!"

"Right!" I yelled, hustling into the kitchen to make some popcorn.

Caroline only sighed.

------------------

I was rather happy when the appeals round had finished and that Grasshead was absent.

I was scared as she and Skitty floundered under The Phantom and his Dusclops. To my amazement, she pulled off a long string of successful assists. She confidently commanded a Blizzard, which had previously failed, giving her the win. Her second win.

That's my May.

And ONLY my May.

----------------------

"I see that... Drew wasn't there?" I said, spitting his name as if it were poison in my mouth.

Caroline sent me a warning glance. Oh, yeah. I forgot that she likes this wretched boy.

"Yes, actually he was there," she contradicted. "I only ran into him once though."

"Oh, really now?" I hissed hostilely. "What did he- OW!!!!!!! CAROLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She gave me an innocent look as of she had not just kicked me in the shins.

May sweatdropped. "He was in the Pokemon center when I first arrived, giving his Roselia to Nurse Joy who was taking her way on a stretcher," she explained.

I raised one eyebrow.

"He warned me about a really strong co-ordinater. The Phantom, the guy I battled in the final round. He said that he didn't think that Roselia could recover enough by the contest, so he wasn't entering."

Well, at least he isn't pushing his pokemon beyond it's healthy limits.

"After that he just walked out of the pokemon center, and I didn't see him after that. Brock said that he saw him a few rows head of them, watching the contest, though. He also said that he seemed to be routing for me," she continued.

Grr... That boy...

"Norman, chill."

What I thought: I, the great Norman Maple, SHALL NEVER CHILL WHEN IT COMES TO THAT STUPID GRASSHEADED BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I said: Fine.

It's an impossible battle to disagree with your wife.

--------------------

Yes, I know it's really short, but Drew was hardly in these two.

This was 'Disaster of Disguise' and 'Disguise da Limit.'

That's the one with Timmy the masked co-ordinater because his mom wouldn't let him have a pokemon.

So... Yeah.

See ya.
