Hey guys! I've had this idea stuck in my head for to long! This is my first Ikarishipping fic so tell me if it's good bad or just plan awful. XD I DO NOT OWN POKEMON! If I did, Dark Ash would have been in the anime for more than one episode. Summary: Dawn gets separated from the rest of the gang while in Veilstone City. When she is attacked, she's saved by someone she wasn't expecting. IKARISHIPPING ONESHOT Dawn shivered. How in the name of Ho-Oh did she lose the others! She turned down an ally for some odd reason. She froze as she heard rough laughter behind her. Dawn turned to see a large, mean looking man coming towards her with a malicious look in his eye. She turned and ran but he caught up, grabbing her arm. Dawn let out a gasp of pain as she was thrown against the ally wall. His hand came near her face and Dawn bit down on it, trying hard to cause him enough pain so that he would let go so she could run. He let go, but then backhanded her. Tears ran down her cheeks as he flung her against the wall again 'Someone, I don't care who you are, someone please HELP ME!' she thought, sobbing. suddenly, the man was gone. Dawn looked around and saw him being punched in the face by a purple-haired Trainer wearing dark-colored clothes. She backed up a step as Paul stood over the man's motionless body. Dawn then did what her body told her to do. She ran. An hour later, when she thought she was far enough away, Dawn collapsed onto a bench. She sucked in deep breathes, and froze for the second time that day as she heard a voice behind her. '' Troublesome'' she heard him growl, sounding rather upset, to say the least. Dawn stood and faced Paul bravely. '' What were you doing down there?'' I got separated from the others.'' Paul shook his head in annoyance. ''Come on.'' he grumbled. Wondering what he meant, she followed him. Soon enough, the Pokémon Center came into view. Dawn sighed with relief, Ash and Brock where probably there! She ran in and asked Nurse Joy, but the pink-haired nurse hadn't seen them. Dawn's face drooped as she digested that information. Just then, a song turned on. Dawn looked up in surprise as the song Evacuate the dance floor came on. She instantly started dancing. After a while, Dawn got tired and asked for a room, to which the nurse replied'' The boy who came in with you asked for a double room for both of you.'' Dawn felt her jaw drop. ''What!'' " I am telling the truth miss. Calm down, please?'' Dawn calmed down a bit, got her room key, and walked down the hall. She opened the door, went in and shut it behind her, and passed out on the bed. After 60 minutes Paul woke, glancing over at Dawn. He ran a hand thru his hair, sighing softly. He walked quietly over to Dawn's bed and stared at her. He had never admitted it, but she was truly beautiful. He leaned down and gently brushed his lips against hers, then pulled back. ''Dawn. I wish I knew how to tell you. But I've never been good with emotions. I wish I could tell you, that I love you.'' The end Me: Did you like it? Oh, I hope you liked it. Paul: (reading story) You made me do WHAT! Dawn: (looking over Paul's shoulder) I liked it. Paul: (suddenly red as a Flareon's fur) Troublesome! Me: ;D
