Hello, everyone. This is my first ever fanfic so go easy on me if it isn't that good. Anyway, this is pearlshipping so enjoy, I guess.

CHAPTER ONE

The glistening sunlight was fading away slowly falling underneath the horizon as Ash, Brock, and Dawn make their way towards what seems to be a dense forest.

"Eterna Forest. That seems to be the name of these woods we are about to go through." announced Brock as he studied his map. "Eterna City is just over on the other side."

"Awesome!" exclaimed a rather excited Ash. "My next gym battle is in Eterna City! Ready to win, Pikachu?"

"Pika!" cried Pikachu obviously psyched about their next battle.

"Let's get going!" cried Ash as he continued to trudge forward eager to face his next battle.

Dawn, on the other hand, didn't seem to be pleased with the idea of continuing forward. "Aw, but it's getting dark, and we might get lost in there. Can we please just stop and camp out for the night?"

Ash just looked at her dumbfounded. "Why would we do that?" asked Ash. "All we need to do is check the map." Ash pointed towards the forest. "I'm going to keep going and nobody is going to stop me from winning that gym badge!"

Ash was about to continue walking, but Dawn placed her hand on his shoulder startling him. Ash looked back and what he saw almost melted his heart. There, staring straight at him was the most innocent, angel-like face he had ever seen from Dawn. They were looking at each other directly at the eye.

"Pleeeeeaaasse, Ash???" begged Dawn cutely and innocently. "Can we rest for the night?"

Ash had fallen for it. He couldn't resist the look on Dawn's face as she begged him. "Fine." Ash replied. He lowered his head causing his hat to cover the redness forming in his cheeks.

"Thank you, Ash!!!" screamed an extremely happy Dawn as she embraced her good friend in a friendly hug. "I'll set up camp right away!" With that, Dawn skipped happily towards a site good for their tents.

"Wow, that was quite a scene." said Brock as he made his way towards the campsite. "Come on, Ash. We better help Dawn set up the tents. I'll cook us a nice dinner before we go to bed."

"Okay." replied Ash as he slowly made his way towards the others.

That was chapter 1! I will try to update as soon as possible if you want me to. Sorry if it wasn't that great.
