Chapter 1: Stolen
A purple haired, teenage boy stared at a young, 16-year-old blue haired girl worriedly. The girl was hugging her knees, burying her head in them, her hair tattered and messy and black bags were under her eyes, showing she had barely gotten any sleep. The purple haired teenager walked up to the blue-haired girl, worry on his face.
"Dawn…" The purple haired boy muttered gently. The girl named Dawn didn't say anything, her head still buried in her knees. "Dinner is ready, are you sure you're not hungry?"
"Paul… how can I be hungry after all the pain I experienced?" Dawn replied in a dull, emotionless voice. Paul sighed… Dawn had been like this ever since that terrible day… The day she was taken away from him.
Ever since that day, she no longer ate or slept. She had given up on coordinating, no longer even bothering to train her Pokemon. Every night, she would relive that terrible nightmare, tossing and turning, moaning and muttering words as she slept. Paul even saw tears in her eyes a few times while she was trying to sleep.
… He still remembered how the 16-year-old teenager had gone from bubbly and cheerful, to a person he barely even knew…
Ten days ago
… It was the final battle against Team Galactic. After Ash and friends infiltrated the base and defeated some grunts, Ash and Brock had volunteered to take on the commanders together while Dawn and Paul would take on Cyrus.
"Are you ready, Dawn?" Paul asked. Dawn smiled.
"As ready as I'll ever be…" Dawn said. Paul just looked at her worriedly.
"Dawn… I can't bear to let anything happen to you…" Paul said softly. "Please don't get hurt during our battle…" Dawn just smiled.
"Hey, no need to worry!" Dawn said cheerfully. "I'm old enough to take care of myself. Besides, if anything does happen to me… I'll have you to protect me…" Paul smiled softly. Then the two entered Cyrus' room.
… The battle had gone off horribly… Dawn and Paul were already on their last Pokemon while Cyrus had only lost one. Cyrus gave a sadistic smirk.
"This is what happens to little kids who dare snoop around in my base…" Cyrus grinned. "Now I'll tear you apart one by one, starting with your girlfriend…" Cyrus' Weavile charged at Dawn's Empoleon, ready to attack it with a Brick Break.
"Empoleon, Hydro Pump!" Dawn ordered. The large Penguin Pokemon nodded and fired a huge blast of water at Weavile. The agile Pokemon grinned, and easily dodged the deadly move. As it dodged, Cyrus' Gyarados was behind it, an Iron Tail ready.
Both Dawn and Empoleon were hit by the powerful attack, pinning the young, 16-year-old girl to a wall. Cyrus grinned and walked up to the young blue haired girl. Dawn was barely conscious, and took out Empoleon's Pokeball.
"Empoleon… return…" Dawn said weakly. Cyrus grinned as he grew closer and closer to the young teenager. Paul went in front of Dawn defensively.
"I won't let Dawn get hurt!" Paul growled defiantly. "Especially by a monster like you…" Cyrus just smirked.
"You, protect her?" Cyrus laughed in a booming voice. "You fool… you can't even save yourself… Gyarados… Iron Tail…" The Atrocious Pokemon swung its massive tail at Paul.
"Torterra, Frenzy Plant!" Paul ordered. Torterra sent out several powerful vines, ready to defend its master.
Gyarados' Iron Tail was just too strong for Torterra to guard. Both Paul and the Continent Pokemon were slammed into a wall.
"Paul!" Dawn wailed in distress. Cyrus grinned as he wrapped his fingers around the young, 16 year old teenager's throat. Dawn closed her eyes weakly, choking desperately for air as the Team Galactic leader squeezed the life out of her.
"You're really beginning to be annoying… How bout I put you out of your misery, eh?" Cyrus smirked as he tightened his grip on the young coordinator. "I'd be more worried about what's going to happen to you, then your little boyfriend… After the pain you're about to experience… you'll never be the same…" Dawn just whimpered weakly as Cyrus strangled her. Paul looked at Dawn weakly, he was barely conscious.
"… Dawn…" Paul muttered, a hand reaching out for the suffering, blue-haired teenager. Dawn stared at Paul sadly as she suffocated. Then everything went black for the young, purple haired teenager.
Hours later, Paul woke up and found himself in a hospital bed. He was changed into red hospital robes and bandages were wrapped around his waist. He tried to stand up, but winced in pain while doing so.
"Hey, easy now…" A voice said. It belonged to a messy, raven haired boy, probably in his early twenties. An older man was next to him. "You got hurt pretty badly, you need rest…"
"Ash, Brock, you rescued me?" Paul asked. Ash and Brock nodded. Paul then remembered what had happened to a certain, blue haired girl.
"Dawn!" Paul said frantically as he sat up. "Where is she, is she safe, too?" Ash and Brock paled after Paul had mentioned her.
"Paul… I'm sorry…" Ash said grimly. "But Cyrus managed to get away with her… We couldn't stop him…" Paul's eyes widened, his head shaking in disbelief.
"We have to go save her then!" Paul said frantically. "Who knows what that monster could do to her?!" Then the purple haired teenager winced in pain as he tried to leave his bed. Ash stopped him and shook his head.
"Paul, no…" Ash said softly, but sternly. "Your injuries are too great… I'll send out Staraptor to go find her location… but that's the best we can do right now. The injuries both you and our Pokemon faced are too great! We have to wait until all of us recover fully…" Paul sighed, but knew he had no choice, and slumped onto his hospital bed.
"Dawn… just hang in there…" Paul said softly to himself. "I'm coming to save you…" Then his eyes closed from the exhaustion he had faced.
In other places
Dawn had finally gained consciousness. She was in a dark and musty dungeon cell. Her wrists were shacked and chained to the ceiling of the dungeon and her ankles bound by more iron shackles. Her neck was still sore from Cyrus' attack. Dawn realized what was going on and cursed silently to herself.
'Dammit, I should've been more careful…' The teenager thought in her head. 'I have no idea where I am… Last thing I remember was Cyrus taking me in a helicopter… Then everything went blank…' Dawn took a closer look at her prison. Then a familiar face appeared in front of her cell.
"Mars…" Dawn growled. "What does you boss want with me?"
"Does that really matter right now?" Mars asked. "After the pain you're going to experience, you'll regret trying to infiltrate our base…" She took out a thorny whip. Dawn realized what was going to happen to her. Her eyes narrowed at her defiantly.
"Just you wait…" Dawn said confidently. "Paul will come and save me… You'll regret kidnapping me…" Mars grinned as she uncoiled her whip.
"The only one who's going to be experience pain and regret…" Mars said coolly she brandished her weapon of torture. "Is you and your boyfriend…" Without warning, Mars whipped her once, Dawn cried out in pain. The Galactic commander did this ten more times before stopping. Fresh cuts appeared on Dawn's soft, smooth skin.
"That's enough for today…" Mars grinned. "That was just a warm up, tomorrow will be even worse…" Dawn just sobbed silently, wondering was in store for her tomorrow…
Five days later
It had been five days and Paul said he had finally fully recovered. Though Ash and Brock were hesitant to let him go, the fire in his eyes was enough to let them approve.
"Well, let's go…" Ash said. He sent out his Staraptor and the three went to look for the young, blue-haired girl.
'Dawn… I'm coming…' Paul thought in his head, thinking about the beautiful, blue haired girl. 'Please, just hang in there…'
Dawn's dungeon
It had only been five days since she had been in the dungeon and she already wanted it all to end. She just wanted them to finish her off, she felt like she wanted to die… She had already lost her will to fight back… and was about to lose her will to live… Her clothes were now tattered and worn out and she had scars all over her once smooth, slender body, some fresh, and some older. Her once beautiful blue eyes were now dull and gray, void of any hope. The only food she had was some disgusting slop which would be force fed to her and some dirty water… She no longer struggled to break free from her bindings and just stood there, only twitching occasionally. She had already given up on Paul… and she was beginning to give up on herself…
"She's almost broken…" Jupiter said, smirking. Cyrus grinned.
"Then let's finish her off, shall we, Saturn?" Saturn smirked, and the two entered Dawn's dungeon.
"We're about to have some fun with you, girl…" Cyrus smirked, a wide grin on her face. Saturn had an equally malevolent smirk on his face.
Dawn sobbed. It was the man who would cause her the pain, the suffering… He gave her electric shocks, burned her with cattle-prods, anything he could to make her scream… She knew what was coming next and she just wanted all the pain to end… She wanted them to put her out of her misery…
… Her screams filled the night, Mars and Jupiter watching in amusement.
Back with our heroes
The trio of heroes finally reached Cyrus' base. Paul stared worriedly, hoping Dawn was okay.
"Dawn… please, be safe…" Paul muttered. Then he sent out his Weavile. Ash sent out his Torterra and Brock sent out his Sudowoodo.
"Sudowoodo, Double-Edge!" Brock ordered. The tree Pokemon nodded and slammed the door with all its force. They expected a mob of grunts ready to attack them, but the base was deserted. The three looked confused.
"I don't get it…" Ash muttered. "It's like they expected us to come to her rescue…" Brock nodded.
"We'd better be careful, this could be a trap…" Brock said.
"I don't care if it is a trap…" Paul growled. "I have to save Dawn, no matter what the cost…" Paul then ran off to the dungeons. Ash widened his eyes.
"Paul, wait up!" Ash shouted. "Dammit, will you stop being so reckless and-"
The sight they saw made froze the three in place. Dawn was on the floor, bruised, naked and weak. Her body was still twitching from the pain caused to the young teenager.
"DAWN!" Paul shouted, running towards her side. "Dammit, what did they do to you, you look horrible…" Dawn opened her eyes. They were only mere slits from the pain she had suffered. A smile of relief appeared on her face.
"P… Paul…" Dawn said weakly, a sad and weak smile on her face. "I'm so sorry… for being so useless…" Paul shook his head.
"Don't be sorry, if there is anyone who should be sorry, it's me…" Paul said sobbing, hugging Dawn's limp and weak body tightly. "Dammit, I'll never let anything like this happen to you again…" Dawn winced in pain as Paul hugged her.
"Paul… it hurts… Please, stop…" Dawn said weakly as she winced in pain. Paul nodded, and released her. Paul nodded. Then he and the other two placed her on Ash's Torterra, resting on a bed of leaves. Ash patted Paul on the back.
"I'm sorry Dawn had to wind up like this…" Ash said guiltily. "Our Pokemon were hurt too badly… we couldn't go even if the base was deserted." Paul glared at Ash coldly, tears in his eyes.
"I don't care!" Paul said fiercely. "You should've done SOMETHING, ANYTHING!!!" Ash and Brock didn't reply, staring shamefully at the ground. Paul sighed, trying to calm himself. It wasn't his friends' fault. It was his. He was careless, and now Dawn was…
"Let's go take her to a Pokemon Center…" Paul said dully. Ash nodded, and the three headed off to a Pokemon Center. Paul took one last glance at the young, sleeping teenager.
'I swear… I'll make them regret hurting you like this…' Paul swore in his head. 'I'm sorry I let this happen to you…'
Dawn was in the hospital for hours. Paul was getting really worried.
"What if something terrible happened to her?" Paul wondered worriedly. Ash shook his head and smiled.
"Don't worry about her, Dawn's a strong girl, she'll be fine…" Ash said. Then Nurse Joy finally came in.
"I have good news… and bad news…" Nurse Joy said. Brock had hearts in his eyes and ran to Nurse Joy, holding her hand.
"Is the good news something about a date for two?" Brock asked flirtatiously as Ash and Paul sweatdropped. Croagunk came and stabbed Brock's waist with a Poison Jab, chuckling as it did so.
"I guess the bad news is that it'll never happen…" Brock grunted as he collapsed to the floor. Croagunk chuckled to itself as it dragged Brock away.
"Is Dawn okay?" Paul asked. "Please don't say anything bad happened to her!" Joy smiled reassuringly.
"Don't worry, Dawn is fine!" Joy said. "It's just that…" Joy bit the bottom of her lip. Paul widened her eyes in shock.
"What? What happened to her?" Paul asked frantically.
"She was raped, and that put a huge blow on her self esteem…" Joy said as she bit her lip. Ash gasped in horror. Brock miraculously recovered from the Poison Jab, his eyes stern and serious. Paul gritted his teeth.
"Damn those bastards…" Paul growled. "How could they hurt Dawn like this? Is it okay for the three of us to see her?" Nurse Joy nodded.
"Go right ahead…" Joy said. The young, pink haired nurse took the three into Dawn's hospital room. She was changed into blue hospital robes. The blue-haired girl was currently asleep, tossing and turning as she did so, mumbling and moaning words to herself. It hurt Paul to see her like this.
"No… please, don't do this to me…" Dawn muttered as she tossed and turned, thrashing under her sheets. "It hurts… stop… Paul… where are you? I need you right now… Please… save me…" The three knew what was going on.
"She's reliving her nightmare in her sleep…" Paul muttered sadly as he stared at the tossing and turning blunette. "Dammit… is there any way to get her back to normal?"
"If there's anyone who can heal her…" Ash began. He had a serious look on his face. "It's you… That's right, not me, not Brock, you!"
Paul looked at Ash in shock. Could he really heal Dawn's wounds? Did he really have that power?
'I might as well give it a shot…' Paul thought. 'I can't see her like this any longer… I have to help her somehow…' Then he entered Dawn's hospital room. Dawn was still tossing and turning. This time, tears were falling out of her eyes. Paul held Dawn's hand tightly and leaned in to whisper in her ears.
"Dawn, I'm here…" Paul said, whispering in her ear and still holding the young girl's hand tightly. "Please, wake up…" Dawn's eyes opened, but they weren't a beautiful ocean blue, they were a dull, bluish gray. Her hair, once smooth and silky, was matted and tangled. Paul hugged Dawn tightly as he saw this. It pained him seeing her like this.
"I swear, Dawn…" Paul muttered softly as he hugged her, relieved to see her awake. "I will never let anything like this happen to you again…" Dawn sobbed, burying her face into Paul's chest.
"Paul, I'm scared… What's going to happen to me?" She sobbed as she buried her face into his chest. "What if I get pregnant, what'll happen to me then? What'll my mom think when she hears what happened to me… What if I become Sinnoh's number one slut?" Paul patted her back, stroking her matted, tangled hair.
"Nothing like that will happen to you…" Paul said gently as he stroked Dawn's tangled, matted hair. "The nightmare is over, you're safe with us now…"
"Dammit, you must think I'm pathetic right now…" Dawn sobbed. "I'm crying like a little baby…" Paul shook his head.
"No… you're not pathetic…" Paul said gently and reassuringly. "Cry as long as you want, I'll be here for you…"
Ash and Brock watched Paul and Dawn from afar, a small smile on their faces.
"Paul must really love Dawn…" Ash said softly, a gentle smile on his face. Brock smiled as well. Ash's face then turned serious. "I still can't believe Team Galactic would stoop so low and do something like this to her though…"
"I know…" Brock said. "I hope Paul really is the one who can heal Dawn's wounds…"
"Dawn…" Paul said softly. "There's something I should've told you a long time ago…" Dawn looked up at Paul, dried tears staining her cheeks.
"What is it?" Dawn asked, still sniffling. Paul sighed, trying to find the right words to say. Ash and Brock nodded, supporting her all the way.
"Dawn… I love you…" Paul said softly. "And after I saw you like this, it pained my heart greatly." Dawn didn't even look surprised. She just looked very sad.
"Paul… there was a time when I was in love with you, too…" Dawn said softly. "But after the experience with Team Galactic… I don't know what I'm feeling… Paul, I'm tired… I'm going to rest…" Paul nodded, and left Dawn's room.
"How'd it go?" Ash asked. Paul sighed.
"Nurse Joy wasn't kidding…" Paul said sadly. "This isn't the same Dawn I once knew… The Dawn who was happy, and cheery… After her experience… she had changed… and it was for the worse…" Ash's eyes narrowed.
"Paul, you know what you have to do…" Ash said. "You're the only one who can get through to Dawn… Only you can turn her back to normal… Brock and I have to get back to Kanto… My mom is waiting for me… I'll come back as fast as I can. The three of us will wait here until Dawn is well enough to leave the Pokemon Center. After that, you're on your own…" Paul nodded his head, now cinfident that he had the power to get her back to normal. Then the purple haired trainer took one last look at the young blunette who was struggling to sleep, but couldn't because of the nightmare she had faced.
"Goodnight, Dawn…" Paul said softly. "No need to worry, right?"
Five days later, Dawn was well enough to leave the Pokemon Center. She was fortunate and did not get pregnant from her rape. Nurse Joy scanned her body and no sign of sperm was in her body. Her physical wounds had healed, but the wound on her heart was still torturing her, paining her from the inside out.
"I guess this is goodbye…" Paul said. Ash smiled.
"We'll be back as soon as possible…" Ash said with a grin on his face. He then turned to Dawn. "Dawn, I hope you get well soon…" Dawn didn't say anything and just waved good-bye to him shyly.
After their farewells, the group of friends went their separate ways. Ash and Paul took the ship to Kanto while Paul and Dawn headed off to the forest.
Present day
Paul just looked sadly at Dawn as he finished her dinner. She was still sitting in the same position, only this time, she was hugging her legs even tighter. Paul couldn't take seeing her like this anymore. He had to cure her…
The purple haired teenager walked up to the distressed young teenager. Dawn looked up at Paul, a sad look on her face.
"Paul, what is it?" Dawn asked. Paul smiled, and took out a poster to a Pokemon Carnival. Dawn widened her eyes in shock.
"Paul… you're taking me to a carnival? You're taking me out for a date?" Dawn muttered in disbelief. "But why?" Paul smiled at her gently.
"Because I love you…" Paul said. "And I don't care if it takes forever, I'm going to help you be yourself again… I'm going to heal your wounds…" Dawn smiled at Paul, a tear of joy fell from her eye.
… The next day, Paul spent the entire day healing Dawn's wounds…
