Chapter 1: Off to Hoenn
Last time Dawn, Piplup, Ash, Brock and Pikachu decided to split after their journey in the Sinnoh region. They all were sad to split up like this, especially Piplup, but they were also excited on what new journeys each of them will have. Brock having decided to become a Pokemon Doctor decided to head back to Pewter City and decided to end his journey. Dawn decided to stay back in Twinleaf Town instead of going to Pallet town with Ash so that Buneary can go to a Pokestylist event. Ash then decided to go back to Pallet Town by himself and with Pikachu and to continue his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master. Since that day, Brock has been studying to become a Pokemon Doctor, while saving the Pewter City gym from closing at one point. Dawn decided to help a girl bring back a Piplup and Chimchar that escaped from Professor Rowan's laboratory, much like how her journey started, and got attacked by a shiny Ariados. Ash decided to travel around the Unova region, a far away region with some pokemon that haven't been seen before, after going on vacation with his mom and Professor Oak. It has been a few weeks after these events and our story begins with Dawn packing her bag, getting ready to leave Twinleaf town so that she could compete in contests in the Hoenn region.
"I can't wait to leave for Hoenn!" Dawn said excitedly to her Penguin Pokemon Piplup.
"Piplup!" Piplup chirped happily.
"Dawn!" Johanna yelled up the stairs, "Your boat is leaving at noon, are you almost done packing?"
"No need to worry mom, I'm all ready!" Dawn yelled down the stairs to her mom.
"That's when I worry the most." Johanna said to herself as she walked back to the kitchen to finish making breakfast. Soon after that Dawn ran downstairs to get some breakfast before she left.
"Now Dawn don't forget to call me and Professor Rowan when you get to Hoenn." Johanna said.
"Ok mom, no need to worry as I said before." Dawn said as she finished her breakfast and ran out the door. "By mom, Take care!" She yelled as she started running down the path and waved to her mom. Johanna then waved her daughter off then went back into her house. Dawn started making her way to Sangem Town to the boat docks there where she had been a few weeks before. After a couple of hours of walking, she finally made it to Sangem Town. She quickly made her way to the docks and boarded on a ship that was headed towards Hoenn. After she boarded the ship, she decided to find her cabin and sleep a few hours until the boat came near to Hoenn.
Meanwhile, in the land of Konoha, also known as the Village Hidden in the Leaves, three teenage ninja's stood inside the Hokage's room ready for their next mission they have been assigned. Tsunade, the Leaf village's new Hokage had sent for these three ninjas just minutes before.
"I have an important mission for all of you." Tsunade began. "There have been sightings of strange creatures lately. I want you three to check this out."
"This mission sounds boring!" Yelled Naruto. "I want another A ranked mission where I get to fight some evil villain!"
"NARUTO SHUT UP!" Yelled an annoyed Tsunade. "This is an A ranked mission because these creatures are considered dangerous as we don't know anything about them yet."
"Excuse me, Lady Tsunade but where are we going for this mission?" asked Sakura.
"This mission will be in a distant land called the Hoenn region." Tsunade said.
"Hoenn region?" asked Naruto. "I never heard of it."
"That's because we just discovered that this region exists." Tsunade said. "I'm sending the three of you there to find out if any of these creatures are a threat to our village or to any of the other villages. Don't come back until you're sure that these creatures aren't a threat."
"OK!" Naruto yelled.
"Yes Lady Tsunade." Sakura said.
"Hn." Was all that Sasuke had to say.
"You guys leave in thirty minutes. Good luck." Tsunade said. With a nod of their heads, the three ninjas were off like lightning and started to pack for their long journey and mission.
Back on the ship that was heading to Hoenn, Dawn woke up to find that the sun was slowly setting. She could hear the ship blow its horn and slow down as they prepared to dock in Littleroot Town. Dawn then decided to get up and go look at the Hoenn region where she will continue her journey for Pokemon Contests.
"Hey look Piplup!" Dawn said excitedly. "It's the Hoenn Region!"
"Pip Piplup!" Piplup chirped excitedly. As soon as the ship docked, Dawn got off and started making her way to the Pokemon Center in Littleroot Town. When she got there she called her mom and Professor Rowan to tell them that she arrived in Hoenn safely. During her conversation with her mom and Professor Rowan, a red headed girl and her Azurill were sitting in the trainer's lounge. As soon as Dawn finished her conversations she walked into the trainer's lounge and saw a familiar red headed girl. Dawn decided to go find out who this familiar red headed stranger was and started to walk over to her.
"Hello." Dawn said and the red head turned around. "I'm sorry for asking you but you look familiar, have we met before?"
