Chapter 1: Flashed by an onion
"I know I saw a pokémon run by here, and I'm going to find it!" said the blue-haired coordinator.
"Give it up Dawn, there's nothing here." Brock said, growing tired of searching.
"Yeah, I'm all for finding new pokémon, but we've been here for over an hour and we haven't found a thing." said a tired and hungry Ash.
"Pika!" Pikachu said in agreement.
However, Dawn continued to search, intent on finding whatever it was she saw. "You guys go ahead and go back to the Pokémon Center. I'm gonna keep looking." She said, slightly irritated. Dawn knew she saw a pokémon run by, and she knew that it was rare and powerful. If I could capture that pokémon, I would be unbeatable in contests, I know it. Dawn thought this to herself.
Ash and Brock happily made their way back to the Pokémon Center. Just as they left, Dawn heard something brushing through the trees. She turned just in time to see a tiny green blur fly past her face. She immediately began to chase after it.
"Go Buneary! Use Ice Beam!" Dawn shouted, thrusting the pokéball into the air, hoping to at least slow down the fleeing pokémon.
"Buneary!" said the little rabbit-like creature. Suddenly, a neon blue light blasted from its mouth.
The small green pokémon turned around to try and launch a counterattack, but was instead hit directly with a powerful Ice Beam. The pokémon was then frozen in a solid block of ice. Dawn was quick to approach to make sure it was alright. As she did, it thawed itself out of the ice. Then something strange began to happen.
The little pokémon started to make an intensely bright light. At first Dawn thought it was just using Flash, but the light just kept growing brighter and brighter. This is no Flash attack, Dawn quickly realized. Soon, Dawn couldn't even see.
"CELEBI!!!" the pokémon shouted, and then suddenly for Dawn, everything just went black.
A confused Buneary just sat there, and, when the light went away, began to hop around in search of its trainer and the other pokémon.
