Apartment Hunting

Dawn and Paul finally look around for their apartment after talking about it. But, their luck isn't really there, until they decide that they don't need an apartment, but something bigger...

"It's no use!" Dawn whined, plopping on the couch at the hotel she and Paul were staying at until they found an apartment. Paul chuckled, nodding slightly in agreement. They weren't having the best luck to say the least.

He pressed the flashing red message button on the phone as he passed it on his way to sit next to Dawn.

*Beep* Hello, this is Judy Plume, relator of 727 Willow Tree Drive. I'm calling for Dawn Hikari and Paul Shinji. I think you two might interested in this house I'm selling. You two would of course get the first bid, but there is an open house tonight, five to seven. Feel free to come. Goodbye! *Beep*

They looked at each other, and Dawn shrugged. "Might as well." she agreed. Paul glanced at his watch.

"We have a half an hour." Paul informed her and nodded, content to go along with whatever she says.

It didn't take them too long to find 727 Willow Tree Drive. They were just too busy cracking up to go inside.

"I can't believe this!" Dawn cried. She was still laughing, but Paul had sobered from his laughter.

"It's kind of ironic." Paul chuckled once again. The house for sale to them was a gigantic black mansion.

A very familiar black mansion.

A curly haired blond girl popped her head out of the door.

"He-low!" she greeted bubbly, and with an odd accent neither of them could place, "You must be Dawn and Paul! I'm Judy Plume! And I was right when I said you'd have the first bid! No one wants this scary house- slash -the house that was in the news for being the notorious hideout of Team Galactic." Judy giggled, but quickly turned serious, "I can't sell it for anything, and I understand if this brings back too many bad memories." she stated. Dawn and Paul glanced at one another, silent agreement in their eyes.

Why give up a perfectly good (most likely cheap) mansion? They could make their own good memories, to replace the bad ones.

"We're interested." Paul turned his attention back to Judy, who clapped.

"Brilliant! I'm willing to let it go for little, so let's haggle!" she exclaimed, dragging them inside.

A few hours later, Paul and Dawn used some of their five million poke that they won from the Vielstone Singing Contest to buy their very own (only) one million poke mansion, when it should have been sold for five million or more.

Not the apartment that they were imagining, but better than that.
