Anybody can be a hero

Disclaimer- I don't own anything, if I did, they would be

together.

WARNING - I don't know what attacks Drifblim has. Only 1 on 1 battle, and Paul is MAJORLY OOC around the end.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

(Dawn's POV)

Today seemed like an ordinary day to me, We were on our way to Ash's next gym battle against Fantina.

"Hello, is anyone here" asked Ash, suddenly, a gang of ghost pokemon came out of nowhere flying around in circles until there was a huge poof of smoke and in that poof of smoke, there was a silhouette of a women and when the smoke finally shifted there stood Fantina, smiling at us proudly.

"Hi, I challenge you to a gym battle , Fantina" yelled Ash confidently.

"Sorry, but someone has already challenged me, so your going to have to wait for us to have our battle first" apologized Fantina. With that me, Ash, Brock and Fantina walked through the corridor leading to a battle field.

"What are you losers doing here?" asked a boy with purple hair called Paul.

"I'm going to get my gym badge, what else" answered Ash angrily.

"Paul, shouldn't we start our pokemon battle now" questioned Fantina. Paul trudged over to one side of the field opposite Fantina while me, Ash and Brock sat down on the pews to watch Paul's battle.

"Okay Drifblim come on out" yelled Fantina confidently.

"Elekid, stand by for battle" shouted Paul.

" Okay Paul, you can have the first move" inquired Fantina.

" Fine, Elekid use thunder punch" ordered Paul

" Dodge and use silver wind" said Fantina calmly.

" Elekid, protect than thunder" smirked Paul. The thunder was a critical hit to Drifblim and it fell to the floor, fainted.

"Drifblim is unable to battle, Paul and Elekid are the victors" beamed the commentators.

"Congratulations Paul, you have beaten me, please except this badge" smiled Fantina, " sorry Ash, my pokemon are beat, can you come back tomorrow for your battle"

"Sure, I'll be here" replied Ash. Paul walked silently out the gym and all I could do was stare because he doesn't even celebrate winning. So I decided that I would follow him just to see what he does in his spare time. I sneaked out of the gym so the guys didn't catch me going off alone and followed Paul into the forest in which he just walked into.

(Paul's POV)

I took out my all of my Pokemon and was about to start training my Pokemon when I heard a twig snap.

"Chimchar, use flamethrower into those bushes over there" I ordered. When Chimchar did as it was told, I heard a lot of cursing coming from the bush then that troublesome girl hopped out looking like she was about to murder me.

"Why did you do that" she screeched.

"Would you just shut up, noisy girl, your going to make me go deaf" I said, irritated, " and why are you following me"

"I'm n-not following y-you" she stuttered, her pale face turning redder.

"Whatever" was all I said. I returned my pokemon and begun to walk away from the girl but I heard her footsteps and stopped, turning around to face her giving one of my death glares to her.

"What do you want" I asked getting more annoyed with her stalking me.

"Well, when I entered the forest, I get lost and don't know which way to go so I'm going with you to get out of here" she explained.

"Whatever" I sighed.

" Would you stop saying whatever" she nagged. I didn't want to here her anymore so I walked faster than I usually would to try and avoid her as much as possible

After only 1 hour a heard her whining voice begging me for a rest, god, why cant she give me a rest for once.

"Paul, can we have a rest"

"No, you can, but I'm not" I said coolly. If that pathetic, troublesome girl can't handle the travelling than she shouldn't be a coordinator, even if they are weak and frilly.

(Dawn's POV)

Why is Paul always an insensitive jerk towards me? I didn't do anything to him! All I wanted was a quick rest and we could continue finding the others! I'd like to know what happened to him if something did happen to him, but I don't seem to be able ask him bout it. My voice always catches in my throat I guess I'm scared in case he yells at me for asking him a 'stupid question' like he usually does. While I was in deep thought about Paul, I never noticed him calling out my name.

"Oi, troublesome, listen to me" Paul yelled, obviously irritated from my lack of concentration. That is until I heard my pet name being called out. My patience dropped drastically as I pounced on him, trying to scratch and slap his face. He just about grabbed m wrists before I could do any lethal damage to him.

"What the hell is wrong with you" he growled lowly trying to stay calm from my outburst, "all I was going to say is that we could set up camp and stay for the night as your so weak you cant handle it much longer"

I stared at him oddly for what felt like hours until he broke the silence with his usual attitude problem, "are you going to get off me or what?"

I just rolled my eyes and complied.

(Normal POV)

The camp was set up, Dawn sat down and watched the camp fire sizzling while Paul stood leaning against the trunk of a tree with his eyes closed, thinking about a new method for gym battling.

Paul opened his eyes again and begun to trudge away from camp, Dawn's eyes flickered to Paul when she saw him leaving.

"Where are you going?" she blurted out.

Paul stopped and looked back at the cerulean eyed girl, 'God, she actually looks kind of ho-horrible, I don't believe I nearly said that' Paul glared at himself for his stupid thoughts and answered with "I'm going to go train my pokemon". Dawn looked back at the fire to mind her own business while Paul trained his pokemon, or as she liked to call it, ' Crack a whip over them until they gave him more power to try but unsuccessfully give him enough power for his needs'.

Later….

"RRRHHHYYYYYYDON".
