Hiya, i know i haven't updated my other story but i'm want to make it super good so it might take a while. this is kind of an introduction to the story, the real thing starts next chapter. Its Pokeshipping, Ikarishipping, and Brock/??. you'll find out. Oh and please review, the thing that really inspires me to write is when people like my work so review.
Ash, Dawn and Brock were right on their way past Hearthome, headed for the next city. The sun was shining brightly, the pidgey were chirping gleefully, and the road to Pastoria City never looked clearer.
"What do you mean we don't have any hairspray left? We just reloaded at the last stop!" Dawn screamed, frantically trying to readjust her hair. Although it was perfectly fine, she still seemed rather angry.
"Well, maybe if you didn't use up a can every NIGHT then we won't have this problem." Ash said rolling his eyes, trying not to get mad at his young traveling companion. However, she seemed to make huge deals out of nothing. Especially her hair, ugh, her hair!
"You know why I use that much hairspray, to make my hair look good. Unlike you, you decided to cover that disgusting black thing over you brainless head with an even uglier hat!"
Ash didn't bother replying to the comment; he was too mature to make such childish remarks. Besides he didn't have a good enough comeback.
"Oh, what am I going to do?" Dawn sighed, "I NEED HAIRSPRAY!" she busted out.
"YOU NEED TO SHUT UP AND GET OVER IT!" cried Ash, who looked ready to explode.
"YOU NEED TO GET OVER YOURSELF AND YOUR NEEDS TO HELP OTHERS IN EMERGENCIES."
"YOU CALL NOT HAVING HAIRSPRAY AN EMERGENCY?"
"YOU KNOW WHAT KETCHUM, I'M GONNA-"
"SHUT UP!" yelled Brock clamping his ears. "Both of you are annoying me to death."
"She started it." mumbled Ash who then got shocked by Pikachu, who was also getting quite irritated.
"I was just-"
"No! Stop talking, BOTH of you." Brock hissed glaring at the two of them. "Dawn, its your own fault we're out of hairspray. Don't complain to us about, and don't whine to your pokémon about it either,"
Dawn huffed and crossed her arms. "And Ash," Brock continued turning to the boy, "Dawn can get pretty aggravating-"
"HEY I-"
"QUIET! But this is her first journey, and she is just as nervous as you were on yours. So just give her a break before yelling at her." Brock finished the sentence then looked at his two friends. Both were silent and looking at opposite directions.
"Apologize to each other." Ash whipped around and gave Brock a strange look. Dawn simply shook her head and turned the other direction, refusing to look at either of them.
"Come one, it's just one word." Brock urged. Ash and Dawn remained silent, as if not hearing a thing.
"I know you two can talk, you were screaming like 5 minutes ago." Silence.
"Fine then." Brock stated, he then turned to Pikachu who shook his head.
"Pi ka….CHUUUUUU!!" the electric pokémon let out a thundershock, frying both Ash and Dawn till they were crisp. When it was over, both were slumped on the ground. Their faces were extremely close together, but only Dawn noticed.
"Sorry." Dawn whispered to Ash.
"Yeah, I guess I'm sorry too." Ash replied. He then jerked his head towards Pikachu and muttered something that sounded like 'traitor'.
"There we go. Now come on shake it off, we have to get moving." Brock said happily, he started moving forward.
"Nah, Brock I think we should stay here." Ash said getting up off the ground.
"Why's that?"
"Well it's just that we have been walking for a long time I think our bodies need some-"Suddenly a loud roar echoed throughout the forest.
"AHHH! What was that?" asked a frightened Dawn who grabbed the first thing near her which happened to be Ash. The strange noise rang through their ears again.
"Oh God! I swear that it got louder! In think it's getting closer!" Dawn cried clinging on to Ash, who seemed to be chocking and desperately trying to escape.
"Don't worry Dawn. It's only Ash's stomach." Brock said knowledgeably with a hand supporting his chin while nodding his head. Pikachu, who stood right next to him, modeled his actions knowing too that it was Ash.
"So you can let go of me now Dawn." Ash said, who was awkwardly still in dawns arms. Dawn quickly released her grip and had a fully fledged blush appear on her face.
"Alright I guess it is around lunch isn't it? Well let's stop here." Brock said placing his backpack on the ground with a thump.
"Yay!" Ash cheered. "Come on Pikachu, why don't we go and perfect that special move while lunch is getting ready?" Pikachu nodded with enthusiasm. Both trainer and pokémon raced to an area to train.
Dawn got up and dusted of her skirt, she frowned at the retreating figures of Ash and Pikachu.
"Hey Brock I think I'll just go get some firewood in the woods back there." Dawn said flipping her thumb behind her.
"You sure you want to go alone? They could be some pretty scary pokémon hiding in there." Brock said with concern.
"Brock," Dawn said grinning while placing both of her arms on her hips. "I'm not a little 3 year old or something! But thanks, I'll just bring Piplup with me."
She reached for her backpack to pull out her precious water pokémon.
Dawn threw the ball in front of her, "Piplup come on out!"
The adorable water pokémon jumped out, smiling happily at her trainer.
"Pip! Pip lup!" the pokémon peeped joyfully. Dawn looked down proudly at her starter pokémon.
"Come on Piplup, let's go get some firewood." Piplup nodded in agreement. Piplup watched Dawn and she seemed just the teensy bit upset about something. She could tell because Dawn's voice wasn't as high as Piplup was forced to get accustomed to.
As the two set out into the woods Dawn began picking up sticks here and there. She reached for one behind her when a small foot stepped on it. She looked up and saw Piplup frowning at her with flippers crossed.
"Excuse me Piplup." Dawn asked politely. Piplup didn't budge.
"Come on Piplup, Brock's waiting."
"Lup."
"Huh?"
"Lup, pip. Pip lup!" Piplup pointed at her and shook her head back and forth.
Dawn slouched to the ground and sighed, "You can tell I'm upset, right?"
Piplup bobbed her head, she proceeded to approach Dawn and give her a hug. Dawn smirked and pulled into the hug, lifting her pokémon onto her lap. She then leaned against a tree and looked up at the clouds.
"Pip?"
"It's not something that just happened. It's something that's been happening. I really don't think you'd understand Piplup." Dawn declared, still gazing at the fluffy white clouds pass over her. Not a care in the world, that's the life I want. She then glanced down at the penguin pokémon looking quite confused on her lap.
"But I'll tell you anyway, mostly cause I love ya." Dawn giggled, tickling Piplup till she doubled over in laughter.
"But also, I really don't have anyone else to talk about." She whispered sadly drifting out again.
Piplup tilted her head, "Piplup!"
Dawn jerked her head back towards Piplup her face then turned extremely serious. She sat back up straight and placed Piplup on the ground facing towards her.
"Now you listen here Piplup, I'm not depressed about this. That's the last thing I am." Dawn said holding up a finger.
"I guess I'm just kind of confused about it. Usually my Mom is here, I always felt no matter what my Mom would know what to do. No worries!" Dawn looked at Piplup for sympathy, however the water pokémon was having a hard time understanding what exactly was happening.
"Oh right I haven't told you what's wrong." Dawn said in shock, Piplup quickly jiggled her head confirming her sudden outburst.
"Well here's the thing. I have a crush." Dawn said blushing a deep shade of red. Piplup's face brightened, finally understanding what was bugging her master. Piplup relaxed, she honestly thought it was something that was actually serious.
"Its more serious than that!" Dawn said angry at her Pokémon's actions. "I have 3 crushes for your information!" She pressed her lips together and peeked at Piplup before continuing.
"Ashkennyandpaul." Dawn said faintly and fast.
"Pip?"
"Ash Kenny and Paul! Okay I admit it! I like all of them!" Dawn covered her face and fell forward.
"Pip, pip lup lup!"
Dawn jolted up after Piplup made her comment. "You are so right Piplup. I should just pick the one that's nicest to me. Although that completely eliminates Paul…he's just a jerk anyway. Thank you so much Piplup!"
Dawn returned the pleased pokémon back into her ball after hugging her one last time. "Oh God! Brock and Ash are going to be worried." Dawn raced back to their rest stop with the firewood she had collected.
When she got out of the woods she looked to see that Brock was facing away from her in a huddled position over something in his lap. Nothing was unpacked except that his backpack was opened. Dawn placed the wood down and ran over to her older traveling companion.
"Brock? I'm back sorry it took so long but I-"She was stopped when she reached the older boy. He was crouching over a magazine advertising a Pokémon Center. He was drooling over a picture of Nurse Joy winking at the camera with her nurse attire on.
"BROCK I COULD HAVE BEEN ATTACKED BY A POKEMON OUT THERE IN THE WOODS WHILE YOU WERE SITTING HERE STARING AT A NURSE JOY PICTURE OF ALL THINGS!" The young coordinator knocked the poor boy in the head with one of the wood pieces she got, repeatedly.
"I HAVE THE RIGHT MIND TO CALL OUT CROGUANK!" she yelled outraged, and continuing her punishment on Brock.
"Oh, please don't! Do whatever you want to me, I deserve it!" Brock pleaded still peeking at the magazine out of the corner of his eye, which Dawn caught.
"Fine then," Dawn smiled at him and dropped the wood to the ground. "Pachurisu, darling, I need your help," Brock's face turned extremely pale. The electric pokémon bounded on the ground excited for his next duty.
"Give Brock a SHOCK of reality!" Dawn commanded happily. Pachurisu squealed in agreement.
"Pachi pachi riiiii-"
"W..what's going on?" Dawn turned to see Ash limping towards her. He looked sick and was holding his stomach in agony.
"Ash, what's wrong?" Dawn cried, running towards her secret crush with concern written all over her face.
"Ca…can't...g..go….on…" Ash strained his words; he then dropped to the ground. Dawn tried supporting him.
"Ash! Yes you can! Come on!" Dawn whimpered on the verge of tears. Brock had crawled toward the two of them clutching his head.
"N…no," Ash howled "I...c-can't…wit-without…"
"Without what! Tell me Ash, I'll get it. I promise I'll get whatever it is." Dawn wept, trying to control her tears. "With out what, Ash!"
"Answer the girl Ash!" Brock exclaimed
"Wi-With…out…" Ash looked up at Dawn and stared at her right in the eyes. Dawn meet them and held the gaze. "Food." He whispered quietly. Dawn froze completely, and then looked back at Ash with a smile.
"Food?" she asked still keeping her strange grin.
"Yes." Ash replied innocently. Dawn nodded slightly and raised herself up. She turned her back to both of the boys.
"Dawn? You okay?" Brock asked nervously.
"What about my food?" Ash moaned
Dawn swiftly turned around her face was in a pleasant state, she had her normal smile back on.
"Your food will be ready soon, but Brock will be busy with a little something before that."
"What will I be doing?" Brock asked puzzled.
"Screaming."
"Why would I-"
"Pachurisu, spark!" Dawn ordered merrily. Both boys were shocked by the blue electricity coursing through their bodies.
"Keep it going, I like a show." Dawn said. She sat down on the ground and seemed to be enjoying the view. Pikachu eventually hopped back, he was carrying in his mouth and paws berries. He watched in confusion as Pachurisu shocked both Brock and Ash.
"Chu?" Pikachu asked Dawn.
Dawn simply smiled, "Just enjoy it while you have the chance."
Pikachu shrugged and took Dawn's advice by plopping himself on the ground. He offered Dawn a berry and the two of them watched in amusement as the two boys pleaded to Pachurisu to let them go. It's too bad Pachurisu likes shocking things!
