Since there isn't much of this pairing out there, I decided to show my love and write a little something! English is not my first language, so I sometimes find myself "lacking" words to explain what I wanna say, but I think it's not that bad.
So yeah, some clarification here: Dawn's 16 and Cynthia's 22.
I do NOT own pokemon (or else I'd be rich and gen.5 wouldn't look like that). All rights reserved to Satoshi Tajiri. (C)
As I stand right there in front of that huge cave exit, I can't help but stretch a smile.
"Finally!"
Finally I got trough this endless maze: the Victory Road. Now there's only one challenge left and it's the hardest of them all, the Elite Four. Past that enormous waterfall lies Sinnoh's highest building; the Pokemon League. There, four trainers await me, each better than the previous. I need to beat them in a consecutive row. No healing, outside items, will be permitted. Then, if I succeed, I'll have a direct access to the League Champion, the best trainer of all Sinnoh.
I must say this is the most exciting challenge that has ever fall upon me, but it makes me nervous as hell. I don't really understand why, because I've been through so many hard times: beating the eight gym leaders of this region wasn't something easy, let alone destroying the horrifying Team Galactic and their world-conquer plan, especially the part where I had to go in the distortion world... still this task seems to be much more stressful. Maybe it's because she's not here this time. She, who helped me every step of my journey.
Cynthia. Beautiful, tall, blond, elegant, kind, polite, determined, knowledgeable and even though I never saw her battle, I'm sure she's very strong. Even if she's 22 and I'm 16, we developed a special bond. Our friendship is even harder than a Bastiodon's head! If it wasn't for her, I would certainly not stand here today. She made me evolve as a trainer like nobody could have done it. Each time I had to go face a Gym Leader, she was there to cheer on me, every time something blocked my way, she found a solution, I knew I could use her help when I was in danger and she knew she could use mine when something went wrong. We were the perfect team, because even though we weren't always together, she managed to find me every time something happened. I still wonder how she was able to do that...
Anyway, the thing is, just before entering the Victory Road, she had to leave me for some mysterious reason. I had hoped she'd be there to see me challenge the Elite Four... I mean, it's the most important battle for a trainer. Especially the one for the champion title! Who knows, maybe she'll be watching me from her television somewhere.
"Better than nothing..." I sighed.
Ah, how I wish to be close to her right now. I don't know if I'm still too young to say that, but I think I may be in love with her. Every time something happened, I couldn't help but hope she'd be back again. At first it was out of pure friendship, but it somehow became different with time. The way she looks at me with those piercing golden eyes, it makes me feel special. That's what gave me all the courage I have right now: to know that someone as amazing as her has faith in me. Amazing... yeah she truly is. Everything she does just leaves me amazed. It's... it's just like I've been struck by attract.
Ah, all this thinking made my face as red as a shiny Gyarados.
Dang, why did my first love have to be a 22 years old woman?There's no way she would want to be with a teenager like me, she's much more mature than I am. Hell, I don't even know if she swings that way to begin with...
Well, let's just forget about that for the moment, I've got to concentrate now: I'll be facing the toughest trainers that I've ever met. The excitement's coming back. Great!
I reach a hand to my belt, taking the first pokéball to my right.
"Let's go, Empoleon!"
As soon as he came out, Empoleon looked at me with those determined eyes. He's excited about this challenge too, I can feel it. He's my very first companion, we developed a complicity that's unbreakable. We understand each other perfectly, so that's a huge advantage in battle.
"Here's the plan, we gotta go up this waterfall and reach the Pokemon League!"
Then we'll finally be able to rest! The days I've passed in the Victory Road really exhausted me and my team, so the thought of being able to sleep in a comfortable bed tonight is really appealing!
I jump on Empy's back. We're fired up about the idea of a great night of sleep, so he jumps into the water and climb this gigantic waterfall with all his might! At the top, I let him return into his pokéball. The building looks even bigger from here... so exciting!
I enter the Pokemon League as fast as I can and go directly towards the Nurse Joy who works there. I've always wondered why these nurses all look the same... and have the same name.
"Miss, your pokemons are fully healed."
"Ah, yeah, sorry ma'am! Thank you very much!"
"We hope to see you again!"
They always say that... Ah well, some mysteries are meant to stay undiscovered I guess. Now, on to the bed! I'll go take a room right away!
Meanwhile, from a higher place.
Playing in her long, blond hair, the champion looked at the scene from her room.
"She looks pretty excited, eh?"
Her dragon-like friend approved.
"That's good to see. I'd like to be with her right now, she surely needs someone to talk about all this. She must be so stressed out... poor dear."
Garchomp let a small roar escape from her mouth. She teased her trainer around.
"What does that mean, exactly? I'm not missing her that much! It's only been 3 days..."
"..."
"O-okay, I really miss her, but it's not my fault! I swear to Arceus, that girl used a spell on me! See, this girl is really something. It's hard to believe that someone as determined, strong-willed and talented as her lives in this tiny body. To think that I'd fall for her... it's no surprise after all. She's joyful and clumsy and so cute and..."
The blond noticed the look her companion was giving her.
"...and so 16."
"Okay, so she's underage, but does that really changes something? It's not like she was 11 or something, she's a grown-up teen. Besides, it's not as if I was a creepy 44 years-old man, my feelings are pure."
"..."
"...Okay, so maybe not that pure, but I do love her, and that passes before everything else. That's why I wish Dawn the best of luck on her Elite Four challenge. Anyway, with all the training we did, I have high expectations for her. I wouldn't be surprised if I found myself battling against her for the champion title. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'll be. Well, let's put ourselves to sleep too. Tomorrow's gonna be a big day, we need all our energy for that final match."
"Good night Dawn, and good luck."
So yeah, I'm not a pro at writing, but I think it came out ok. What do you think of this first chapter?
