Author's Note: I don't own Pokemon. You should be glad. It would be angsty and very militaristic. Child soldiers and the like. "Poke'Wars" kinda stuff. That's a good series, by the way. You should read it.


She is in Unova. She is at least a hundred miles from Sinnoh, much less wherever he is. The blue haired girl closed her eyes, letting the breeze play with her hair. He would not control her, would not influence her, would not exist to her. Parasitic life forms often had the most exciting interactions, but they faded in the daylight whereas her new pursuit shined bright as the coming-

"Dawn."

Speaking of newest pursuit, Dawn turned around, still in her pajamas. Iris was in hers as well. She grinned. Despite being shorter, she was older than Dawn.

Iris gritted her teeth as he walked away. "What's his problem?"

Dawn sat up, sighing. "I threw a fight over that question once.
