Summary
If this was May's Expedition (if she had a camera crew and not just her imagination) this would probably be in slow motion: a terrific leap over the water, the shock as she clocks that green is hair and not a clump of leaves, the high-pitched yell that starts as she tries to scramble backwards midair. And Drew's shout as she barrels into him, sending both of them into the forest mulch.
What no documentary could ever capture is the way she sees stars on impact, or the feeling of twigs scrapping her knees. There's a beat of silence, like every Pokémon in these woods stopped to watch this trainwreck. Something bonks the top of May's head and a second later follows the unmistakable plonk of a Pokéball hitting forest soil.
Drew spits out a twig (it almost feels like he aimed that at her).
"Well, well - May. What a -" he pauses to gag on more debris, "- surprise."

Traveling solo has been going great. Amazing. Super-duper awesome. May's never been better! Drew's the one being weird; he's been super nice lately - and suspiciously keen to win this Bug-Catching Contest.
