Me- Hey guys. This is a complicating story, so if you have any questions about anything, I'll try to explain as best as I can.

Ash- Meaning?

Me- I'll explain.

Dawn- Is the whole story complicated or are there some parts of the story people won't understand?

Me- Well, I really don't know. It could be a little bit of both.

Dawn- Okay.

Me- Plus, here's the summary:

Summary: Dawn decides to travel to Unova after her fashion show with Buneary. She then decides to do gym battles to prove to Barry that she will come home as League Champion. She meets up with Ash and his new traveling companions along the way and begins to travel with them. However, Iris is jealous of Dawn and tries to get Ash for herself. But, Cilan will try to rain on her parade of plans. Every single time.

Barry- Eyes for Colt only does not own Pokemon. She owns her OCS, Ryu and Sabrina.

Me- And enjoy the story!

Dawn's POV

Barry looked at Buneary and then at me.

" Where were you?" he sneered.

" I was at a fashion show at Hearthome City." I said as I continued to pack my bag.

" And where are you headed off to now?" he asked.

" I'm going to Unova." I stated blankly.

" Are you crazy? There are no Contests there!" Barry exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes.

" So?" I asked.

Barry's vein popped.

" Is that all she can give me? So? SO?" Barry screamed to himself as he mentally pulled his hair out.

" SO? That means you can't go!" he exclaimed.

We were both silent for a minute.

" Then, what are you going to do? You're too weak for gyms." he sneered.

My insides boiled, and then, an idea struck.

" Aha! I can try the gyms out there! Thanks, Barry!" I thought happily.

" Fine then! Maybe I will do the gyms there!" I stated proudly.

Barry's mouth dropped, like as if he saw a ghost.

" WHAT?" he exclaimed. I winced at his yelling.

" You heard me: I'm going to try the gyms and prove to you that I'm not weak for the gyms." I stated as I slipped on my white Vans.

Barry scoffed.

" Fine, fine. Do what you want, but I'm telling ya, you are weak." he stated.

I whapped him on the head and walked away.

" The ferry leaves at 3. You ready, Dawn?" my mom asked as I walked down the stairs.

" Yup, mom!" I smiled before heading towards my bike.

I got on and Barry and mom were smiling.

" Have fun out there." my mom said as she hugged me.

I gave her a half hug and Barry looked at me.

" Good luck out there." he said before suddenly leaning in and giving me a quick peck on the cheek.

I was shocked and blushed slightly in embarrassment before riding off.


~ At the ferry, 2:45 pm ~


I finally reached the ferry and got on.

There were many different people on board with their Pokemon out so I walked to my room and went in.

" Come on out, everyone!" I said as I threw four Pokeballs in the air.

PipLup, Pachirisu, Buneary, and Quilava appeared from their Pokeballs. Mamoswine and Togekiss were at Professor Rowan's lab, since I wanted to capture different Pokemon in Unova.

" This is pretty amazing!" PipLup exclaimed as he jumped on the bed.

Pachirisu curled up into a ball and began to take a nice deserved nap on the couch while Buneary and Quilava were on the balcony, looking outside.

I dropped down on the bed, tired.

I closed my eyes and began to sleep.


~ Four hours later, 6:45 pm ~


I woke up and felt cold.

" Why am I cold?" I asked myself as I looked around.

Buneary, Pachirisu, and Quilava were sleeping, my bag is on the couch next to Pachirisu, there's a puddle of water on the ground with PipLup rolling on the floor in laughter, my-

Wait, a puddle on the floor with PipLup rolling on the floor in laughter, say what?

I touched my hair and then realized that it was damp.

I screamed, making my Pokemon wake up with a scream as well.

" PipLup used...Water Pulse on me?" I asked myself in shock.

I groaned.

" PipLup..." I pouted.

Someone knocked on the door.

" Coming!" I called out.

I reached the door and opened it.

The captain of the boat was standing there.

" H-hello..." I said, my teeth chattering.

" Did you get a notice of the ball tonight?" he asked. I cocked my head sideways.

" No, I didn't even know that there was a ball..." I said.

" Well, it starts at eight, if you want to get ready." he said.

" Alright, I'll get changed." I said.

The captain walked away and I closed the door.

I then took out 100 Pokebills and went outside. ( A/N: The currency for Pokebills is the same as US bills. )

" Pachirisu, you're in charge!" I called out as I walked away.


~ In the bathroom, 7:35 pm ~


I groaned as I tried to put my hair up in a delicate bun.

" This is more complicated than I thought. How does May do this?" I sighed.

I was wearing a strapless cream dress with a black bow tied at the bust and the skirt was like a balloon around my legs. I wore silver high heels and had on cream gloves that had black on the inside when you fold it.

" Man, I wish I had help with this bun..." I trailed off, looking at the pin. It was a long bobby pin with crystal droplets and it glowed like a rainbow when it was exposed to the light.

Then, a hand took the bobby pin out of my hand and began fixing my hair. I looked into the mirror to see Ash fixing my hair.

I put a gloved hand to my lips.

" Ash..." I trailed off. The bun was put just the way I wanted and curly strands of hair hung.

I turned around to thank him, but nobody was behind me.

I rushed out of the bathroom, startling my Pokemon.

" Has anyone seen Ash?" I asked.

" Huh? Ash? I didn't see him." Buneary said.

I sighed.

" I guess it was just my imagination..." I murmured.

Then, Pachirisu looked at me.

" What a cute bun! Did you do that all by yourself?" Pachirisu asked.

I let out a small gasp before turning around.

Pachirisu was right. My hair was up in its bun.

" Huh...? Then, who helped me?" I asked.


~ At the ball, 10:01 pm ~


I drank my last cup of punch before going out to the balcony of the boat.

I rested my hands on the rail.

" How are you, Ash...?" I whispered to the wind, wishing my words will travel to where he is right now.

" May I have this dance?" a voice asked. I turned around to become face to face with a guy that had ice blue eyes and black hair that reached to his shoulders.

" Sure." I said as I took his hand and we began to dance.

" What's your name?" I asked.

" My name's Ryu. And your name is?" he asked.

" I'm Dawn." I said.

" Wait, you're Dawn? As in, Dawn who was in the Sinnoh Grand Festival?" he asked.

" Yeah...?" I trailed off, wondering how he knew about me.

" My friend, Sabrina, is a huge fan of yours and she watched you in all your contests." he told me.

I smiled.

" It's good to know that I have fans." I said.

" So, why you headed to Unova?" he asked.

" I'm going there to prove to my friend, Barry, that Coordinators aren't weak. And so, I'm doing gyms." I said.

" Wow...you're not alone there." he said. I looked up at him.

" You do gyms, as well?" I asked in shock.

" Yeah. I haven't won any leagues as yet and Unova is where I'll go do my third league." he explained.

" Wow...where was your first and second?" I asked.

" My first was in Hoenn and then I came to Sinnoh." he explained.

We stopped dancing just as a girl wearing a violet over the shoulder dress ran towards us.

" Ryu! Come on, the dance is coming to a close! And may I ask who this is?" the girl asked.

" Sabrina, this is Dawn. Dawn, this is Sabrina." he introduced.

Her brown eyes sparkled as she looked at me.

" Ohmigosh! I can't believe I get to meet you!" she exclaimed as she bounced up and and down, her curly navy blue hair bouncing as well.

" Yeah." I said.

" Well, I guess I should get going. I'll be seeing you, Ryu and Sabrina!" I called out as I ran to my room.


~ In bed, 11:00 pm ~


I pulled the sheets over me as PipLup huddled up next to me.

He was playing with the hem of my Grumpy Bear tank and clinging onto the pants that had Grumpy Bear all over it.

I smiled before going to sleep.

Before my mind could completely shut down, I heard Ash's voice.

" I'm fine. I hope I get to see you again." his voice said.

I then went to sleep with a smile on my face.


Me- I wouldn't say that this was a good start to this story, since I'm trying to hurry and go play with my baby brother. That's in my opinion, though.

Dawn- Who do you think helped me with my hair if it wasn't Ash?

Ryu- The world may never know.

Me- Don't worry. The answer to Dawn's question will come soon.

Dawn- R&R, please! If you do, you get a virtual pie! =)
