Chapter 1

(A/N: now I'm sorry to everyone reading this note. since i haven't wrote for pcpi in a while. Im working on it. now as for this story don't expect it to be to good as i am only in middle school. Now as you can tell by the summary of the story. ITS AN OURBURSTSHIPPING STORRY! kay, now... on with la estoria (the story)

Shade: Tony0423 doesn't own pokemon. but if he did than we wouldn't be here now would we?

There was 2 minutes left on the clock.

"Gabite now use Dragon rush!"

Each female had but 1 pokemon left.

"Dodge now Mamoswine! Now follow up with and ice shard!"

1:45 seconds

"Gabite quickly, Dig!"

1:40 seconds

"Your not gonna get away this time. Mamoswine use Icy wind into the hole!"

1:25 seconds

"Gabite get out of there!"

1:20 seconds

The Mamoswine launched its attack into the hole that Gabite had made. Meanwhile Dawn smirked at the tactic she had picked up from watching Pokemon battles. The other Co-ordinator was frantic and panicking.

"whats wrong Ursula? You look a little pale." Dawn said with false worry.

1:15 seconds

"Nothings wrong with me De-De but I would watch my back if I were you." Ursula smartly retorted. Dawn was wondering just what she meant when a small crack formed behind Mamoswine. Gabite had dug a giant circle underground and it launched out of the hole, hitting the big mammoth pokemon on the way out. Then the icy wind that had been meant for the earth dragon was now sent back at its own creator.

Dawns points went down and Ursula was Overjoyed. She could win this at last. She just had to keep her head on straight for a while longer.

45 seconds

"now Gabite charge toward Mamoswine with a Ground Rush and Finish with a Flamethrower."

Gabite did as instructed. But that didn't count Dawn out just yet.

30 seconds

"Mamoswine Use Earthquake to stop Gabite then use Shattering ice storm."

Mamoswine used earthquake and Gabite had not choice but to pop out of the earth. Then it was attacked with a barrage of snow, ice and rock. Gabite was sent flying to its side of the battlefield and crash-landed as it couldn't fly just yet. (a/n: cuz garchomp can fly but gabite can't)

DING!

-silence-

The audience waits for the smoke to clear. The outcome. Gabite is on the floor, with swirls for eyes. Meaning Ursula has lost. She looked up at the scoreboard. She had lost slightly by points as well. The crowd erupted into cheers.

"AND THERE YOU HAVE IT FLOKS! THE WINNER OF THIS YEARS GRAND FESTIVAL IS DAWN BERLITZ!"

Ursula sighed in defeat and returned her gabite. Giving him praise for always sticking it out till the end. She then shot a glare at Dawn and left for the locker rooms. Once she had finished She walked out toward the exit when she bumped into someone and she fell to the floor.

"Im so sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." She said rubbing her head to ease the pain.

"Oh no it was entirely my fault. Wait Ursula?"

Said redhead looked up and saw it was a male. (Not just any male but someone we all know as the one person who doesn't age even after 15 or more.)

"here let me help you out." The young man helped her get up and she thanked him. She then got a better look at him "sorry about that I was in a hurry, Ill see you later." He then ran off before I could even say his name.

"Ash?" Ursula whispered. She then got a little sad although she couldn't figure out why. She just shrugged it off and got out of the contest hall. She made a beeline to the pokemon center and asked nurse joy to heal here pokemon. She figured her pokemon would be here a while so she went out to go get lunch.

-meanwhile elsewhere-

"congratulations Grand festival winner"

"good job Dawn"

"yeah you were awesome"

"I agree the way you turned the tides in that battle was pretty impressive if I do say so myself"

Dawn was surrounded by May, Brock, Max, and Zoey (yes in that order). The door was suddenly flung open.

BAM!

Everyones attention was turned toward the now panting Ash. He held up his hand as if telling them 'hold up I'm catching my breath' which is what he meant and they gladly waited. He then took a deep breath and jumped back as Dawn started yelling at him.

"ASHTON SATOSHI KETCHUM WHERE IN THE WORLD WERE YOU?!" she got dramatically big, and chibi, while ash shrank into a little, scared chibi ash. He stuck up a finger in a desperate attempt to start talking but Dawn just kept ranting so he just sulked at ignored her. Everyone else in the room knew where he was and they felt bad for him. But if you know Dawn like they do then you know 2 things. 1. Don't get on her bad side and 2. Don't get in her way when shopping. And trying to help ash at the moment wasn't a good idea. so they all just let her rant until they got to the pokemon center.

Dawn had calmed down by then But was still mad at ash. "so am I gonna have to beat the answer out of you or are you gonna talk?" May then stepped in. "hey thats my thing." Dawn turned towards may with fire in her eyes "YOU STAY OUT OF THIS MAPLE" May did as told although she muttered something under her breath. "well then, are you going to answer?"

"well first off I got caught up in Twinleaf since I was helping your mom with something. Then I had to help Prof. Rowan with a little problem that was named 'The new staters for the new trainers'. And finally I had to run,since all my flying types are back at the lab,all the way here to Lake Valor, while facing many trainers, team rocket AND whats left of galactic just to get here. and then I crash into Ursula on the way in and-"

Dawn then interrupted "did you just say Ursula?" Ash stopped dead in his tracks "yeah... why?" Dawn, May, and Zoey all blushed as they had some 'feelings' toward ash. But ash, being the dense idiot he was, didn't seem to notice the girls faces whatsoever. "J-just wondering." Brock and Max decided that they were hungry and as if in cue both Ash's and May's stomaches decided to growl showing that they were also hungry. Everyone chuckled at the two's antics and both trainers just blushed and laughed lightly.

Ursula had just finished getting her lunch and sat down when a group walked in. She turned her attention from eating to said group and saw that is was Ash's group. She then saw that Dawn was there so she shot a glare over towards her. But as she was watching them she saw the other girls and felt a pang of feeling, she didn't know what, but she knew she had felt the feeling before. She then turned back to eating.

Ash on the other hand had told his friends that he would be right back. They seemed not to mind but the girls were skeptical since they all know that Ash would never walk away from food. especially when he was hungry, so they decided to watch him as he walked away.

But for Ash the food had to wait as he made his way over to a mop of pink/reddish hair that he had seen on the way in. And as his hunch had told him, there was Ursula eating alone. Ash felt bad for her since she had no one to eat with and so he walked over to her table and in a fake waiter accent he said "Miss Urara. I presume i owe you an apology for the way I, Bumped into you" He finished off with his normal voice. "so may I sit?" Ursula smiled at the fact that ash had Indeed apologized, and she pretended to think. "hmm, well that depends Mr. Ketchum. I thought you were with miss Berlitz over there, weren't you?" Ash was taken aback from being asked such a blunt question. well actually, no I came here with my group but as soon as I had seen you I knew I had to come and apologize for the way I crashed into you and just left in a hurry." Ursula smiled again. "fine I shall accept your apology but next time you will receive punishment do you understand?" Ash started laughing and Ursula pretended to be hurt by his laughing. "what you thing I'm joking don't you?" Ash was finishing his laugh when he answered "Ursula you do know that I can tell when people are bluffing right?" Ursula just shook her head.

The girls in the other group however were completely silent as they watched Ash go over to some table and sit. After closer examination they found out he went to sit with a girl. What angered them even more was that said girl was URSULA. They all felt like rushing over there and yelling at ash and beat up ursula but then may dragged them back as it was there turn to order.

Ash looked over Ursula's shoulder and saw that his group was next in line so he bid his farewell and went over to them. Ursula felt that same feeling she had felt when he first left. But this time it was stronger. She felt, for some reason, lonely. Yeah she knew that she traveled alone but this was a different type of loneliness. she felt, empty.

Ash felt kinda bad for leaving Ursula so suddenly but then again he was still hungry. As he walked up to the group he noticed the girls were all looking at him and he was confused as to why but he just let it be as Dawn and Zoey had probably found out about manaphy or something, but then again why would May be glaring if it was that? Oh well better just ask them whats wrong.

"why are you looking at me like that?" Ash said as he was honestly confused. The three then said simultaneously "you know exactly what you did" then they all hmphed and shunned him, even though they were all blushing out of jealousy. This left Ash, Brock and Max to sweatdrop as they were figured they were just hungry and they thought the blush was because of the fact that they said the same thing at the same time.

Then they got lunch. Ash looked over to Ursula and she just waved shyly over to him as she was finishing her food. When she was done she went to through her stuff our and then went over to ash although she felt a little nervous, she figured it was cuz maybe dawn would say something to her, but she kept walking toward them anyway.

"Hey Ash I just wanted to say that it wasn't entirely your fault that we bumped into each other, but i do appreciate the fact that you took the time out of your day to come and apologize to wittle me" she said with a cute little kid voice at the end. She then stood up straight again and walked out of the Restaurant to go retrieve her pokemon. As she was walking our she thought 'that should get De-De worked up' she smirked as she continued her way over to her destination.
