Hello and welcome to my very first story. As I said it is my first story and my first time writing about Pokemon so be nice! Warning: For those who don't like Pearlshipping and Sapphirepearlshipping, turn away now! This is a love triangle so enjoy! Also be warned that this story is very sad. It is about Dawn.

The Tempest.

Dawn's POV.

I walked slowly along the beach with Piplup at my side, my other Pokemon trailing behind on Mamoswine. The cold bitter air stung my lips as I briskly walked along the never ending beach. I barely had anytime to notice my pace had changed in a matter of seconds. I knew if I didn't hurry I'd be caught in an expected storm.

I was on my own now. Just me and my Pokemon. I missed Ash and Brock dearly but we all had seperate dreams. I blamed myself for splitting us up as I had not won the Grand Festival. I knew that was silly since Ash and Brock had chosen to leave as well. But maybe just maybe we'd still be together if I had won.

"Piplup?", I heard my trusty water type partner say.

"Oh just thinking ya know", I replied, sensing Piplup's concern.

I knew very well why Piplup was worried. I hadn't been myself lately. Since Ash, Brock and Pikachu left things just weren't the same. I knew my pokemon were missing them just as much as I was. Piplup and Pikachu were best friends, Buneary loved Pikachu and adored the others, Pachrisu missed another electric type being there, Mamoswine missed the good times he had with the Pokemon, Cyndaquil loved them all and Togekiss missed being their motherly figure. Things weren't the same.

A voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "Hey Dawn!", it sounded.

I turned round and saw May Maple, one of the two of my crushes smiling at me. "Hi May!", I smiled, trying to decide if I wanted her or Ash. Failing hopelessly I gave a sigh.

"So Dawn, what brings you to Hoenn?, May asked her gorgeous brown locks shining, which were now out of those pigtails and in a short and curled at the bottom style.

"Oh just trying to win the Grand Festival, ya know!", I replied.

"You didn't win?", May asked me, her sapphire eyes glinting.

"No but-", I was cut off by the sound of thunder.

"What the? What's going on?", May cried.

I knew quite well what was going on. It was the storm.

"May, we need to get inside!", I told her.

"Why?", May asked, totally oblivious.

" The big storm is here!", I cried out.

"What storm?", she asked, as I return my pokemon and picking up Piplup.

Sending Togekiss out to find shelter, I explained to May what was going on. Her reply wasn't a good one as she ran around like crazy.

"May! Get a grip!" I yelled at her.

"NO! We're going to DIE!", May shrieked.

"No, we are not going to die May!", I said.

"But-", May protested but she was cut off by Toekiss telling us there was shelter only half a mile away.

"Thanks Togekiss!", I beamed, returning her as we ran to the shelter.

The shelter was further than we expected it to be. It took us ages just to see it in the distance. By this time the rain was pelting down on us and hail was pelting down at full force along side the rain.

The shelter soon began to get even closer in sight but our vision started to get blurrier as we went along.

Just distances from the shelter our vision became the blurriest we had in our lives and soon enough came the blackness. I heard a voice, a sweet voice. One I longed to hear but my eyes would not open. Not one bit.

Thank you for reading. See ya real soon.
