In case you do not know, Dento and Iris are the new characters acconpanying Ash in the next saga of the Pokemon anime, Best Wishes!, taking over from Brock and Dawn, repesctively. Iris has the habit of commenting on Ash's childish ways, and Dento admires him in a way. I have been really into the pairing of Dento and Iris lately, so I wrote this! ^^
Enjoy~!

Iris sat herself down in the grass and took in the refreshing scent of the meadow. It was nice to take a break from traveling and there was no place more perfect than this. The rolling hills opened up to a flower-blanketed valley and a small stream.
Ash and Pikachu began scouting out a good place to set up camp, and Dento followed behind holding cooking supplies so when they picked a spot he could fix them something to eat.
Iris decided to lie down in the grass and flowers. She wasn't in the mood for working anyway. But she knew good and well that she and Dento usually cooked together and this was slacking off.
The sun was just beginning to set and soon it would be time for dinner. She could practically taste the food Dento was making them, and she couldn't wait to eat.
After a full meal, Ash an Iris sat back down in the grass. The sky was dark now and the stars glimmered brightly. She was staring up at them when she saw one streak across the sky.
"Awesome! A shooting star!" Ash exclaimed. "We should make a wish." Ash closed his eyes and began mouthing something. Iris wondered what he was wishing for. Probably to be the world's best Trainer ever or something.
"Ash, shooting stars? You are such a child," Iris said in a mocking tone.
"If you want to miss out on the chance to have your wish come true, fine by me," Ash countered, standing up. "But if there's something you really want, you should wish for it. Can't hurt." With that, he walked off.
Iris let his words play in her head. What did she really want? She wanted to achieve her dreams, of course. But what did she want right now? She looked around the valley and spotted Dento standing by the river, looking at the stars. She asked herself if he had seen the shooting star too, and what his wish would be. Was it about his dreams? Could it have to do with her possibly? But soon, she found herself blushing at her own thoughts.
"I wonder if…" she said quietly, looking back at the stars. She closed her own eyes and began to make a wish. "I wish… I wish that I could become closer to Dento… and maybe, someday-"
"Iris, are you alright?" Iris whipped around to see none other than the boy in her wish.
"Dento! Yeah, sure, I'm fine. You just caught me a little off guard there, you know?" Dento smiled and sat down next to her.
"The stars look really great tonight, don't they?"
"Yeah. They do," Iris said fondly.
