Yama: ... hehe hye everyone!
Dawn: hi! *really exited*
Zoey: another story?... sheesh.. well atleast im in this one :D
Yama: Yup Zoe! Now SOMEONE DO THE DISCLAIMER
Ash: Alright! Yama dosent own Poke'mon or anything realted to it... yet...
Yama: hehe :D
A 17 year old blunett was in a heated argument with her sometimes trustworthy Poke'mon, Piplup.
"No Piplup! I will not give you extra poffins!" She argued.
"Pip lup pip!" The blue pokemon demanded.
"Because if you keep eating so much your going to get fat!" She screeched.
"Dawn..?" A boy of the age of 19, called by the name of Ash questioned.
"WHAT?" The blunett adressed as Dawn hollered to her raven haired companion.
The childlike man cowered in rear of the blunett, as the last of this small group Brock sighed. "Dawn, dinner is almost done so Piplup should be fine, Ash, Dawn wont hurt you, And Piplup, hear." The dark haired man handed the grateful pokemon a bowl of its favorite food.
"Lup!" It called happily.
"Thanks Brock" Dawn sighed. "Im sorry Ash" She apologized to her friend.
"Its fine Dawn!" The cheery boy chirped.
Dawn smiled, happy that her temper hadent put a damper on the friendship she valued so much. After the trio and their pokemon ate, Dawn got changed into her night clothing. A dusty pink baggy t-shirt over a soft purple pair of shorts. Being older then her childhood years, Dawn fraduated from her traditional traveling skirt and black top to, a pair of denim shorts and a pink top, with a black headband instead of her traditial clips. Dawn excused herself from dinner earlyer than ushual for she had a contest the next day, and they had to wake early in order to make it on time.
"Well, alright Dawn. See you tomarro!" The raven haired boy agreed with his goffy grin, his hat no longer covering half of his face beign that he had grown into it over the years.
"night Dawn" Brock agreed.
"Night" Dawn said as she opend the flap of her tent, and layed down in order to sleep. Piplup decided that because he was fed, he was no longer upset with Dawn and crawled into the crook of her neck.
The next morning Dawn awoke to Piplup screeching about some contest. Dawn sleppy mind took a few moments for it to registure.
"CRAP!" The teenage screamed, alerting Brock and Ash to her new found consiousness.
"Whats wrong?" A frantic Ash called as he riped the flap of Dawns tent open. Dawn almost giigled at the sighed she was beholding. Ash was missing his hat, so his hair was pointing in all directions, he was in a white t-shirt, and blue boxers with buizels swimming around in the fabricated water.
"Im going to be late for the contest!" Dawn whimpered.
"Shit." Ash sighed "get reddy, we can pack our stuff."
Dawn nodded and begain to shuffle throught her bah for her contest dress. Once she found it, she took a few seconds to admire the color. Light pink. The dusty rose silk hung beautifuly around Dawn's matureing figure once she put it on. The strapless dress came mid thigh, and was all the simple pink, it complemented her navy hair and eyes nicely. Once her dress was on, she doned her silver high heals along with a silver charm bracelet. One charm being a bubble, from her childhood friend Kenny. The next a mini-seal for her love of being a cordinator. Then a pair of leafs representing her homeotwn, TwinLeaf. The last a stone known by most as a mood stone, originateing in the color red, it changes with Dawn's emotions. Infact, it is not a mood stone, it is actualy a stone from the legendary pokemon Mesprit's tail. By haveing this stone, it gives the Keeper the ability to contact another stone holder, one of the others is Dawn's contest rival and good friend Zoey. Dawn is in posesion of this stone, not by chance, because she is from the main town under Mesprit's protection, and Dawn just so happened to find a hurt Mesprit. Long story short, Mesprit intrusted Dawn with one of her gems, the gems not only conected Dawn to the other two gem holders, but to Mesprit, meaning she could gain some of Mesprit's abilitys, like comuinication, creating powerfull atacks fuled by her emotion, and ocasionaly, stealing someones emotion.
Dawn sighed, feeling the stress of her important job. She was chosen to protect one of the gems needed for the Red Chain. Okay Dawn thought I need to stop thing about that. So what? Im a Keeper of the Gem? So is Zoey, and.. well, We dont know who the last gem Keeper... Dawn stoped her train of thought there. When Zoey found out, she would contact Dawn. The stone would glow white, signaling Zoey trying to create a mental conection.
"Dawn, you reddy?" Ash asks from outside her tent.
"Yeah" Dawn answered, stepping out and begining to pack her tent away.
Now that the campsite was stowed away and the trio is almost at the place where Dawn's next contest is being held. A large croud is gathered outsied of the contest hall.
"Oh gosh!" Dawn exclaimed, suprised about the amount of the turn out of people watching.
"DeeDee!" A highpiched nails-on-chalkbord voice calls. Dawn sighes, recodnized the anoying owner of the voice in question.
"Hello Ursala" Dawn greets calmly.
"Still havent evolved that stupid Piplup of yours?" the pink haired pain asked, guestureing to Dawn's starter pokemon still being in its first form of evolution.
"Piplup choses to stay in this form, Ursala. It makes him happy, so I will do it for him. Not that you know anythiong about makeing your Pokemon happy" Dawn says, visibly shakeing with anger.
"Happy Pokemon dosent make you a Top Cordinator" Ursala pointed out "not that you would know anything about that, seeing as you won only 3 Grand Festivals and I have 4" the superiority in Ursala's voice makes Dawn want to vomit.
"For your information Ursala, I have won 4 Grand Festivals, and this is my 5th contest, which will make me eligible for the next Grand Festival." Dawn spat.
The shocked exression on Ursala's face almost made it worth haveing to deal with her.
"What ever" Ursala said with a small hairflip "Im not here to bicker with you, Im hear to have my Contest style judged by Paul Shinji"
"Paul? Hes here? Hes at a contest?" Ash asked, astonished.
"He became the Shinnoh Champion last month, so hes hear as a judge" Ursala explained.
"Great" Dawn sighed.
"Dawn Hikari, back stage." A womans voce apeared over the loudspeeker.
"I gatta go, bye" Dawn bid her companions goodbye adn quickly rushed backstage.
Dawn picked up her pokeballs, and when her name was called, she skiped out.
Dawn was completly shocked by the amount of cheering and posters portraying many peoples admireation of the teenage girl, and oddly enough a few wedding proposals.
"Buneary, Quilava! Spotlight!" The bluenett called as she opend her two pokeballs. The pokemon came out in a beautiful display of color, glitter, and light made by the many seals Dawn spent years perfecting.
Buneary, Ice beam, just like we practiced!" On comand the brown pokemon shot a whiteblue beam out of its mouth. It became the shape of a ice-heart. "Now, Dizzy punch to hollow it out!" The pokemon did as instructed "Quilava, Smoke screen inside of it, and then Buneary close it back up!" After the overly complecated instuctions where put into actions Dawn smiled, everything was working out fine. "Now! To finish up shatter it with swift!" When the volcano pokemon did as told, the ice of the heart blended with the smoke screen and the swift to create a beautiful black dust effect.
One judge smiled and said "Simply remarkable!" The Nurse Joy Judge said "you seem to have a wonderfull relationshipp with both of your pokemon"
But when Dawn turned to the last judge, she remembered that it was Paul, she froze, trying verry hard not to show her nerves. He was going to insult her on live TV and ruin her chance of becomeing a Top Cordinator. "Buneary's Ice Beam showed fine strength, and the fact the it was able to repair the whole that the Dizzy Punch created like nothing ever happend showed its concentration. Your Quilava's Smoke Screen stayed a constant murkyness, alowing the efect to be darker, while the Swift was a viberint yellow, showing that the heated core in your pokemon is running at full capasity, meaning it is verry all your preformance was verry original"
Dawn was completly speachless, shakeing off her shock, Dawn smiled and thanked them, returning her pokemon and rushing back to her friends.
"Dawn, that was great" Brock praised.
"Did Paul complement you?" Ash asked, shocked.
"I guess, not like he ment it or anything." Dawn pondered.
"Your right, He didnt." Ursala agreed "theres no way Paul would think that your any good."
"Is that your 4 Grand Festivals and 3 ribbons talking? Or is that just me?" Dawn asks, sarcasticly.
"Ursala Ayako, back stage." The same voice that called for Dawn beccons to Ursala.
"Later Losers." Ursala says as she bounces off. Dawn and co. turn to the Tv to wach Ursala preform.
Dawn watches on the screen and after Ursala calls out her pokemon, she begins her apeal.
"Okay, Flareon, Shadow Ball, then jump inside it" Ursala instructed, and her pokemon did as told. When her Flareon was firmly inside of the ball, Ursala turned to her Gabite. "Gabite! Use double team and then use dragon claw" The cave pokemon make a copy of itself then began to slice at the ball, breaking it open, causeing the small red pokemon to pop out snd land on top of Gabite while shadow dust fell around them for a few seconds.
The first judge smiled and said "You Gabite seems verry confident" Nurse Joy then said "You Flareon may be young but it is defanitly suited to be a Flareon."
Ursala then turned to Paul, by the look in her eyes, Dawn was suprised that Ursala's eyes didnt turn into beating hearts. "Your moves were exicuted cleanly showing proper training" Ursala almost fainted she was so happy, but Paul wasnt done "As Nurse Joy said, Your Flareon is still verry young. I belive that you evolved it far to soon, if you had waited your Eevee could have become much stronger and in turn so could your Flareon."
Ursala returned her poekmon and went back to the wainting room with her tail between her legs.
When Ursala got back, Dawn saw how upset she was and tryed to make her happyer. "Ursala! I loved your apeal! Flareon was literaly shineing!" The bluenett cooed.
"of course you would, you amiture!" Ursala growled to a shocked Dawn "all of your apeals are worse than that so you wouldnt know a good one if it slaped you in the face! In fact.." Ursala left her sentince trail off as she raised her hand to Dawn, and as she was begining to bring it down on the bluenett, something stoped her. As Dawn opened her eyes, moveinf her hands down from the protective position they were in to see a tall man with Purple hair holding Ursala's hand back. She recodnized him as Pail, what he did next shocked her more than the complements he had given her.
"You jealous bitch" He growled "Leave Troublesome alone and go bother someone as talentless as you are, you pointless waste of space"
Ursala looked as if she was going to cry, but said nothing and quickly ran away.
"Thanks" Dawn studdered, still shocked.
Paul nodded, then pointed to the TV "You score is next" He pointed out.
Dawn gasped and look to the screen, she wached as pictures of all of the contestents apreared. After a moment, most of them were covered in a gray sheald. Then, the Picutes re aranged themselfs showing Dawn to be in the lead with a red head in close second. Dawn haveing 29.89 out of 30 and the read-head haveing 28.99
"Zoey!" Dawn gasped yet agin, happy that her friend was their but also upset that she was so close to beating her.
"You rang?" A voice asks from her behind. Dawn spun around to see her red-headed friend, smileing widely at her.
"ZOEY!" Dawn envelopes the ginger in a bone crushing bear hug. "I missed you so much!"
"I tryed to uhm.. call you but you must have been buisy with your apeal." Zoey says, guestureing to her bracelet.
"Oh!" Dawn says, understanding her meaning. "lets get you somthing to drink and you can tell me all about your trip here!"
"Alright" The duo of friends walk away without speeking another word until there in another room.
"What happend?" Dawn asked, conserned.
"Kenny found out why the last gem Keeper is. He said hed meet us here, he said that it wasnt safe to say it over.. comunication." Zoey explains.
"finaly, it took him long enough! You know, it wouldnt have taken you this long." Dawn pointed out.
"But it also would have alerted A grunt or worse, Cyrus, if someone from SnowPoint was searching around Veilstone's records, especialy this close to the date of it." Zoey disagreed.
"But Kenny's from TwinLeaf!" Dawn gasped "They might think that hes me!"
"No, Dawn" Zoey sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose "Kenny's never been to a hospital Dawn, they know that when you merge with the stone, you get sick"
"oh..." Dawn sighed, happy that Kenny is safe. Just then, Zoey's phone rang.
"Kenny?...Okay see you in a few...bye" She closed the device. "showtime DeeDee"
