Chapter 1

Wearing her usual outfit when she's in cold places (a pink coat, a fluffy white scarf around her neck, her pink boots and to top it all off, her favorite hat) Dawn was waiting for her pokemons to heal after her intense training to be the best coordinator in the Pokemon center in Snowpoint city. She decided to train her pokemons in a different weather. Nurse Joy had a lot of trainers come in today so she had no choice but to wait. Bored out of her mind, she decided to go out instead.

Dawn loves the snow. She loves catching the little snowflakes as it slowly falls down from the sky, amazed by its beauty. Being so busy with the snowflakes, she didn't hear nor notice the commotion that was coming her way.

"WATCH OOOUUUT!" the stranger yelled.

It was too late for Dawn to realize the person who was running straight to her. Before you know it

'CRASH'.

'Ouch' she angrily thought to herself. 'Who's this moron that crashed into me?! Is he blind or something to not notice that I was on the way?!' She asked herself, rubbing her temples. She closed her eyes due to the pain. 'This moron better start apologizing! Or I'm gonna throw a fit'

On the other hand, the person that crashed into her jolted up and started yelling.

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME YELL AT YOU TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY?! ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMETHING? FOR THAT, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO FINE YOU, ONE MILLION DOLLARS! YOU'VE GOT TEN SECONDS TO PAY UP!" The stranger yelled. "10! 9! 8! 7!..."

'Wait, that line...that line sounds so familiar..' She thought to herself. She then realized who it was! Shooting her sapphire eyes wide open she jolted up the way he did.

"...1! WHERE'S MY MONEY?"

"BARRY?!" she exclaimed

"Do I know you?" Barry asked, looking away with his arm crossed on his chest

'Wow he's gotten taller' Dawn thought to herself

"Well if you would give yourself a chance to turn around and look at who you're talking to, then yeah, you'd know who I am!" She said

"I'm not looking unless you start paying up your fine!" He scowled.

'God, he's stubborn.' Leaving her with no choice, she grabbed his chin and turned him around so he could look at her. His eyes widening with surprise, she let go and stifled a giggle at his surprise.

"DAAAAWN?!"

"In the flesh!" She chirped.

"I haven't seen you in ages!" He exclaimed grabbing her by the waist and pulling her in for a tight hug. Still being embraced, Dawn mumbled

"It's nice to see you too, Barry! So what brought you here?" She asked, finally breaking the embrace from her childhood friend.

"Well, I'm here to look for the legendary Pokemon, Registeel! And I'm not giving up until I find it and catch it!" He smirked, once again crossing his arms on his chest. Determination written all over his face.

Barry hasn't changed. He still wore the same old clothes back when they were younger. A white and orange-stripped shirt, black pants, brown sneakers and a green scarf wrapped warmly around his neck. His eyes were like the color of honey and his hair was blonde and messy. Same old Barry.

"So what are you doing here Dawn?" He asked, interrupting Dawn from her daze.

"Well, I'm doing some training for my next competition! And I'm sorry about not going out of the way when you told me to" she said, looking down at her feet guiltily

"Psh, no biggie. But next time, you better pay up for that fine!" He pulled her chin up to face him and winked.

Rolling her eyes Dawn said,

"So I guess you were heading for the Pokemon center?"

"Yeah! In fact, I'm gonna get a room in there cause I'll be staying here in Snowpoint city for a month!"

"A month? How come?"

"hmmmm, why Dawn? Gonna miss me?" He asked, chuckling. Rolling her eyes again at his cocky remark, she punched him lightly on his arm

"Haha, very funny Barry. I mean, why so long? Are you really gonna stay here that long just to find that Pokemon?"

"Actually, that's just one of the reasons. But other than that, haven't you been listening to the news lately? They said that there have been sudden changes in the weather and some say that what caused it was probably a legendary Pokemon. And I'm guessing that Pokemon is Registeel! So I'm NOT giving up until I find it!" He exclaimed, raising up one of his arms to prove his point. 'I guess that's what makes Barry, Barry. Determination' Dawn thought. "So anyways," Barry continued, "the weather reporter said that all docks and flights to any other city will be closed for a month and luckily I got here on time before they allowed anyone else to enter or leave the place" 'Luckily? This boy is beyond weird' realizing his story was over she spoke up

"Oh, speaking about the weather, do you wanna go inside? It's getting really really cold" she said, shivering. Barry noticing her shiver, he playfully snaked his arm around hers and brought her inside. "Sure thing, Dee!"

As soon as they entered the room, both realized how packed the room was with trainers.

"Eyoo, Nurse J! Got any room left for me? Which, I bet you do" Barry asked, winking.

"Oh, and me too!" Dawn squeaked.

"Why hello, you two! I'm very very sorry to tell you this but we've only got one room left. Though, noticing that both of you are together, I bet you wouldn't mind sharing it." She happily said. 'Together?' Both trainers thought and looked at the nurse confusingly. Dawn, realizing that her arm was still wrapped around Barry's arm instantly flushed and removed her arm around Barry's.

"No! Sorry, I think you got that the wrong way" Dawn said looking away.

"Oopsie! Sorry about that. But you two do look cute together." Nurse Joy giggled.

"Anyhoo, if that's the case you're lucky too because the bed in that room is a double deck. So will you take it?"

"Why not?! DIBS ON THE UPPER DECK!" Barry nearly yelled. Snatching the key from nurse Joy's hand, he dashed off to the room. And before you know it, he's gone.

Sighing, Dawn thought 'This will be one heck of a month ahead of me' Thanking nurse Joy for the room and her Pokemon after she got them back, she followed where Barry dashed off to.

Once she entered the room, she noticed all of Barry's things were already unpacked. He had posters on his wall with what seems to be legendary pokemons on it, his laptop on his bed, his clothes already in the drawers and closet and a picture frame of him and his dad beside the TV. 'Well that was fast. Oh well, better start unpacking too!' Once she was done unpacking, she also noticed that Barry was nowhere in the room. Deciding that he probably went out to do some other things, Dawn picked up her notepad and started jotting down notes on how to improve her performances and some techniques in the quiet room. While doing so, out of nowhere Barry broke the silence by appearing out of nowhere and shouting her name, which caused her to hit her head underneath the upper deck.

Rubbing the part where she got hit, "Barry!" She shrieked. "You don't have to appear out of nowhere then suddenly shout out my name like that!"

"But it's urgent!" Going inside the room, he grabbed Dawn's wrist and dashed out their room and into the woods like there's no tomorrow.

"What's so urgent that you have to drag me along?!" dawn asked while being dragged

"You'll see once we get there!" He shouted behind his shoulder.

Once they arrived to the place, Barry made Dawn duck down low enough in the grass as if to hide from someone or something.

Dawn's eyes widened. In front of them were abomasnows playing a snowball fight. The sight was so adorable, Dawn giggled.

"Pretty cool, right? Oh and check this out!" Barry said. He opened his bag to reveal a sleeping Shinx in it. "I found the poor guy's paw stuck underneath this huge ass branch so I helped free the poor guy. Expecting it to run away after, it decided to cuddle up on my leg to show its thanks. He's so cute, I don't want to leave him alone!" He exclaimed while petting the Shinx.

Dawn saw how adorable it was for Barry to bring her all the way here to see cute abomasnows play and save a Shinx, so she kissed Barry on the cheek and noticed how fast Barry's face flushed and his cheeks tint pink. Giggling at the sight, she grabbed Barry by the hand and dragged him this time. Barry asked her where they were going and Dawn said to eat because it was getting late and she was hungry.

Eventually they found a restaurant and both of them ate noodles. While they were eating, Barry started fooling around by placing a noodle above his upper lip and making it look like he had a mustache. He pretended to act like an old man and taught her the opposite of proper table manners. As soon as they were finished, they decided to go back to the PC since it was already getting really late.

Upon arriving in their room, Dawn got dibs to use the bathroom first. While waiting, he decided to text Lucas. He didn't know Dawn was done until she called his name.

"Barry! I'm done" she said

Barry felt like his blood was rising all the way up to his nose because standing right in front of him was Dawn wearing a pink nightgown that was strapless and only until mid-thigh. Blushing madly, he covered his eyes with his hands and started walking towards the bathroom, hopefully not ending up falling.

"Uhmm, Barry? You might fall or hit something if you're gonna walk to the bathroom like that." Said Dawn

"Come on, Dawn!" He said cutting her off. "This is Barry you're talking to! I can do anything even with my eyes-"

BAM. Barry walked straight to the wall. 'What was I thinking?! I have to give myself a fine for acting so stupid!' He thought to himself angrily. Standing back up again, he finally got himself in the bathroom. Once he was done, he went out and noticed that Dawn was fast asleep on her bed.

'Hmm, should I continue my search to find Registeel? Nah, it's too late... But what if someone else finds it?! No, I don't think so. But what if...AGHHH I should go to so sleep! I haven't slept for 2 days already! Thanks to that energy drink. I should really sleep. I mean, look at Dawn! She's practically sleeping like a baby now. Speaking of Dawn...'

Barry thought to himself, as he got closer to Dawn. 'Wow, Dawn sure got prettier through the years. I mean, don't get me wrong but before, she was also pretty. But now, she's even prettier! She's... beautiful.'

Suddenly, Barry felt his cheeks get hot 'AGHHH WHAT AM I THINKING?! DAWN'S MY BEST FRIEND! But what if something does happen between us? NOOOO STOP THINKING LIKE THAT BARRY! I CAN'T THINK OF DAWN LIKE THAT! DONT MAKE ME FINE YOU!' Starting to make a little commotion, Dawn suddenly moved 'OH NO, SHE'S GONNA WAKE UP SOON IF I KEEP TALKING TO MYSELF AND MAKING A COMMOTION! WHAT DO I DO?!'

Without even thinking, Barry dashed out their room. Meanwhile in the room, Dawn suddenly woke up from the door being slammed.

"Barry?" Dawn asked while wiping her eyes droopingly. 'Huh, he's not here. Weird. He probably ran off to look for Registeel' she thought as she went back to sleep.
