Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon, trust me, you wouldn't want me to…

Here it is, the sequel to Silver Sorrow, also the last of the Silver series. At first Silver Sorrow was gonna be the last one, but it seemed to have a sign of continuation. So I just had to write a sequel… =D

Sorry for the long update, it's just that I've been so darn into Lunia lately... =D

The story takes one year later, Dawn is now 14 and Paul is 15. This takes place after Ash and Paul won the Sinnoh League and Dawn won the Grand Festival. Ash and Brock returns to Kanto while Dawn and Paul continue their journey alone.

Anyways, enjoy… =D

Chapter 1: Dawn's Unexpected Decision

A purple haired teenager cried endlessly, holding a lifeless blue-haired girl in his arms. The one he had loved the most, was now gone. He still remembers how it all began… how he had lost the love of his life. His name was Paul, and the one he loved and had lost was Dawn, this was how it all began…

It all began when Dawn had just won the Grand Festival and accomplished her dream to be a top coordinator, and yet… she looked so sad… Paul didn't know what to think…

Dawn had been like this ever since she recovered from the Drapion poison. The sweet innocent smile she always wore was replaced with a dull, blank expression. Every night, instead of snuggling close to him and staring into the stars, she sat by herself on a rock and just stared into the sky, alone. If he tried to get close to her, she would just move to another location… She was no longer bubbly and cheerful, and she no longer said, 'No need to worry' like she always did. She no longer would get mad if he forgot her name and no longer pouted like she used to… She had changed since then, and it wasn't for the better.

Paul could think of several reasons why she was like this, one, the experience of nearly dying must have been more traumatizing then she had thought, or she didn't like him anymore. He had always tried asking her about it, but she would always change the subject.

'I'll just forget about it for now, and ask her when she's ready…' Paul thought. He then came down to congratulate Dawn for winning her contest.

"Grats on winning." Paul said, kissing her on the cheeks. "You did great…"

"Thanks… I guess…" Dawn said dully instead of being cheerful like she usually was. She paused.

"Paul…" Dawn began.

"What is it?" Paul asked.

"There's something I need to tell you…" Dawn said quietly. After receiving her trophy and her ribbon, Paul and Dawn went outside the building.

"Ok, what is it you need to tell me?" Paul asked gently. Dawn stared at the floor quietly.

"Paul, I don't think that we should be together anymore…" Dawn mumbled quietly. Paul widened his eyes.

"But why?" Paul said quietly. Dawn stared into Paul's eyes intensely.

"Paul, I love you, and I know you love me, but I can't bear seeing you cry again…" Dawn said quietly.

"What do you mean, Troublesome?" Paul said, getting slightly annoyed. "You're not going to die, I won't let it happen!"

"I can't escape my fate…" Dawn said. "My life is going to end sometime… might as well be now…" It was then Paul came to realization.

"Have you been having those dreams again?" Paul asked. Dawn nodded.

"You read me like a book…" Dawn said sadly. "And now I'm beginning to understand that those dreams aren't coincidental nightmares… I'm going to die somewhere in the near future, and if that is my fate… then so be it…" She then began to tear up.

"So please, just leave me alone… and don't come back to find me…" With that said, Dawn ran into the forest, and never came back. Paul could only watch, as the girl he loved disappeared into the darkness of the forest.

'Did I do the right thing?' Dawn thought to herself as she ran as fast as she could. 'I hope I did… I can't let Paul see me die, not again…'

Dawn then found herself on the floor, she had crashed into an ominous shadow. The shadow stared at Dawn menacingly. Dawn realized who it was, she, Ash and Paul had defeated him together before, and now he was back…

"Cyrus…" Dawn growled. The Team Galactic leader smirked.

"So you remember me…" Cyrus smirked. "It's been a long time hasn't it…"

To be continued…

And so, the end begins…

Paul: Wow, I never thought Dawn could be so emotional…

Me: Same here… =D

Dawn: Wow… I'm so moody it's almost scary…

Ultima: -Vomits- Way too dramatic for me…

Me: Well too bad, bub…

Anyways, sorry for the short chapter, It's just because I couldn't think of anything elsed to add... so it's only natural that it's short… Anyways, until the next chapter, expect it to be both tragic and sad… Please review!
