The pair first met in [[Slateport City]] during ''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]'', where Drew became May's version of {{Gary}} in the way he treated and spoke to her, criticizing her skills and generally being haughty. The nature of their relationship gradually changed as the series went on, finally coming to a subplot climax in the episode ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'' that seemingly put this Ship on the clear track to being canon over the litter of one-sided canon relationships that bloomed before it. | The pair first met in [[Slateport City]] during ''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]'', where Drew became May's version of {{Gary}} in the way he treated and spoke to her, criticizing her skills and generally being haughty.

Ultimately, as canon as supporters feel it is, its opposers feel there remains a gap wide enough for argument in favor of its Ship rival, {{s|Advance}}, and continue the debate between the two. | ||

: Upon receiving her first ribbon from the {{ci|Fallarbor}} Contest, May is congratulated by Drew, who delivers his third rose. Upon receiving it, May asks Drew rather coyly if the rose is for Beautifly again, indicating that she has suspicions as to the true nature of his roses.
