Author's Comments: Note that I am new to writing fanfics. If you can think of a way to make my story better please review and tell me. Also I try to model my stories off of others, so sorry if this seems a bit familiar to you.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own pokemon or its franchise. This is completely fan-made and has nothing to do with the actual show.

Ash walked down the hall after his appeal round in the Hearthome contest. 'I think Pikachu and I nailed it. Now we just wait and hope to make it through' As he walked down the hall, he saw Dawn running in the opposite way. They passed each other high fiving and exchanging amused looks. Dawn ran ran past him only to get pulled back as a hand grabbed her wrist. She turned around and was suddenly being cradled in Ash's arms. "Ash..." he leaned in to kiss her and --

"ASH! WAKE UP!". The raven haired boy looked up into the face of his blue-haired friend and traveling companion. "Dawn..." she stood up and eased her way out of his messy tent leaving behind a whisper of her voice.

Ash started to go back to sleep when the scent of Brock's breakfast hit his nostrils. He changed as fast as he could, jammed his hat onto his crows nest of hair, and bolted out the tent. He sat down next to Dawn and started bolting down his breakfast while Dawn and his brown haired and much more mature friend looked at him with an amused expression. "What?" Both of them looked away.

Ash looked down and saw one of his best friends. A yellow mouse-like pokemon called Pikachu. It was happily munching down on the pokemon food Brock gave him. When they were done they packed up their tents and headed off once again to their unpredictable adventures.

Walking down the forest path Dawn threw a red and white ball into the air yelling, "Come on out Piplup!" A flash of red lighting made the forest an eerie mahogany color, and then it ended as quickly as it started and the only thing left of that moment was a blue penguin-type pokemon. "Piplup!" it chirped. Pikachu and Piplup ran off to explore the area.

'Why did I have that dream again? What's wrong with me? I never felt like this around Misty or May. I mean I felt something for May, but she ran off to be with Drew. What's happening?' Ash thought. He looked up at Dawn and saw how the light reflected off of her and how her vest and miniskirt hugged her body outlining her curves. He looked away blushing furiously.

This went unnoticed by Dawn, but Brock did. 'I guess it happened again. So Ash likes Dawn now? Hmm, I'm going to have to ask him about this later.' As they traveled on the light began to dim and night was quickly approaching.

After they set up camp in an empty clearing, Dawn decided to go off and explore while Brock was making dinner for the three of them. "Hey Ash, dinners almost ready. Can you go and find Dawn?" "Sure, no problem." He went off to search and found her sitting in a clearing with her feet dangling off the side of the riverbank. Ash started to say something but froze, noticing the way the moonlight bounced off her skin and made her hair, now hanging down instead of her usual fashion, sparkle.

Dawn turned around to see what had made the noise and saw Ash standing there with red streaks across his nose. He suddenly said, "Dinners ready, come on." and quickly walked away. 'What's wrong with him?' thought Dawn as she slowly got up and followed him back to camp.

Sorry that this chapter is so short. I know they haven't even reached Hearthome city, but it was Ash's dream. He can dream whatever he wants.

P.S. I'll try to make the chapters longer as they progress. Also, chapters may be added faster at first but this will be updated slowly in the future. Review.
