Dawn's P.O.V.

It was an average day for me, traveling across the Sinnoh Region with my friends, Ash and Brock, and my Pokemon. I traveled with them so I wouldn't be alone on my journey to become the best coordinator in Sinnoh. We were on our way to the contest in Hearthome City when I was starting to get hungry. So I said,

"Hey, guys, can we stop for lunch?

"Yeah, lunch does sound good right now", said the probably starving Ash.

Brock laughs and says, "Alright, we'll stop here for now."

So we set up our things and started a fire when I noticed it was getting dark out. I sighed only thinking of one person. Paul. That mean, heartless, cold-as-ice, sweet-when-he-wants-to-be, cute…whoa, where did those thoughts come from! I simply can't be in love with Paul. Maybe, I can…just maybe…. My thoughts were disrupted by Ash saying, "What's up with you, Dawn?"

Then Brock said, "Yeah, Dawn, why don't you tell us?" He smiles at her knowing about her crush on Paul.

I said, "Nothing. I'm going for a walk. Be back later.

Ash says as dense as ever, "Okay, then." Brock just smiles.

Dawn gives him a look before she leaves.

Paul's P.O.V.

"Grrr…damn rain", I almost yelled. I sighed. I only had one person on my mind. That troublesome girl. What was her name now…Dawn, that's right. I couldn't deny my feelings for her. I loved that annoying, troublesome, stupid, always-smiling, beautiful…I could go on forever. But then I noticed someone walking the rain…it was her. She saw me, and ran towards me.

"Paul!" She said in her cheery tone.

"What, troublesome girl." That did it. She was angry.

"For the hundredth time, my name is Dawn!

"Whatever."

"Anyways, I was walking through the forest when it started raining, then I got lost…. She admitted sheepishly. "And I was wondering...could I go with you?"

I sighed and said, "Fine. But don't slow me down."

"Thank you!" Next thing I knew she was hugging me; I liked it, but she couldn't know that…she'd laugh at me….

We had been traveling to Hearthome for about an hour now, and it was very dark out. So we set up camp for the night.

Dawn asked, 'Paul?"

I said, "What is it." My tone was harsher than I intended from insomnia; I haven't slept in a few days because of my newly found feelings for Dawn.

"I just wanted to say goodnight", She said in that sweet, innocent tone I loved so much. As she got up to go, I said, "Dawn, wait!"

"What do y-", She was cut off because I pulled her in swiftly and caused our lips to meet.

Dawn's P.O.V.

At first I didn't know how to react, but then my arms made their way to his neck and my fingers braided themselves in his messy, violet hair. One of his arms wound around my waist and the other made it's way to my hair, weaving though it. I could feel his tongue lightly trace my lips pleading for a way in. I allowed him to kiss me more freely and he did so; our tongues moving as if they were dancing. But you see, there's this thing we need called air, so they had to break apart.

"I-I love you, Paul. I said to him, still gasping for much needed air.

"I love you too", he said, also panting, with a smile, a real smile mind you.

"You should smile more often", I told him; he had an amazing smile.

"Only if you'll travel with me", he teased.

How will Dawn react? Will there be other shippings? Why am I asking you these questions? All flames and encouraging words will be accepted. Later fools! XP
