Hello everyone I'm back with another story unlike the last one this one will be a chapter story. It's basically the diamond and pearl anime series written my way. Pikachu will be an interesting character to write as I plan to make him very ...cheeky. Hope you enjoy this chapter and remember I don't own Pokémon. Please review I need to know if it's good or not.

"And the winner is; it's Dawn Berlitz from Twinleaf Town. Which means Dawn is the winner of the Sinnoh Grand Festival and has also won the prestigious title of Top Coordinator." I heard the crowd go wild, my body swelled up like a balloon of happiness. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever imagine me Top Coordinator. As my realization of my lifelong dream became reality I looked up at the crowd and saw the joy they shared with me. The feeling was incredible my body was tingling with this indescribable warmth. As I closed my eyes to absorb the moment I started to listened more carefully to the crowd. I found a familiar voice chanting from the crowd.

"Dawn, Dawn!" Every word that found its way to my ear became louder and louder and more irritating than the last.

"Dawn, Dawn!" the distinct whining grew louder.

"Dawn wake up, wake up Dawn." My heart sank to an all time low as I slowly opened my eyes to reveal my mum standing in the doorway of my bedroom, it was just a dream.

"Come on Dawn get up before your breakfast gets cold, I have special birthday treats downstairs for you as well." I gave her a nod not really paying any attention. I replayed the words in my head as I closed my heavy eyes and went back to sleep. I shot up like a spring, Birthday? It hit me like being woken up with ice cold water. Right it's my birthday. Quickly I wiped the tiredness from my eyes and dragged myself out of bed. The thought of my birthday gave me a new sensation to my already tingling body. I rushed to my closet to get dressed. The outfit I planned for this special day was waiting inside the closet for me. It consisted of a black and pink sleeveless dress which came up halfway between my hips and knees, a pure white beanie, pink boots and black socks that came up to my knees.

I floated down the stairs following the delicious smell of my mum's freshly cooked waffles. I was greeted with a happy birthday from my mum as I walked into the kitchen. My nose didn't deceive me the golden brown waffles melted in my mouth as they fused with the sweet maple syrup to make a mouth-watering combination of flavours. It was a start to what was going to be a great day.

"Glad you like them honey." She commented as she watched my "I'm in heaven" expression. My mum is the best cook around; well at least I think so. People tell me mum is an older version of me but with shorter hair, they're probably right. My mum has a thin body and is not overall tall, she has short blue hair and like me loves contest and in fact my mum is a Top Coordinator.

"Here's your birthday present." She handed me a box with yellow wrapping paper. I resisted the temptation to rip the paper to shreds and neatly opened the present.

"Wow mum! Thank you so much." I happily chirped as I held the latest pokétch out in front of me. I sat down and continued to finish my breakfast as mum explained the details on how and where I'm going to get my first pokémon. She also as mothers do, unpacked a lot of my gorgeous outfits in my bag and told me to travel lighter which was annoying, went over the check list like a thousand times and finally gave me a hug and wished me the best of luck on my way out but not without shedding a few tears. I waved goodbye to my mum as I pedalled faster than a race car on my new bike fuelled with excitement. I had planned this trip for months the plan went something like this first I would first get my first pokémon from Professor Rowan, travel around Sinnoh while camping and staying in the various pokémon centres scattered around Sinnoh, compete in the various pokémon contests and earn five ribbons to compete in the Grand Festival and finally make great new friends and meet up with old ones as well. Yep I was set, I thought as I rode down route 201 with my brand new birthday present.

"Stupid map!" I mumbled, this wasn't exactly the best start for my journey. I've been looking around Sandgem Town for Professor Rowan's lab for nearly an hour now. I looked everywhere for what seemed like a non-existent lab to get my pokémon but I couldn't find it anywhere. My mum and I had been to Sandgem Town before to visit family friends but the lab was away from the residential areas and I had no clue where I was or how to get back. After what seemed like days I finally reached the lab. The lab looked exactly how you would imagine a it to be. It was a big shiny white building with state of the art technology written all over it, just looking at the place would make your house look like it was in the Stone Age. I stood in front of the door looking for the doorbell, it seemed it rung automatically when a unknown person stood in front of the door. A tall skinny looking man wearing a white lab coat came out.

"Hello there you must be Dawn, I'm Corbin. I'm afraid Professor Rowan isn't hear but please come in." I walked into the high-tech lab carefully watching my step as I followed the tall scientist. He Escorted me to a big room which wasn't as high-tech as the other rooms. This room was probably the lounge or free time room judging by the modern kitchen, pot plants, couch and coffee table and not to mention the endless piles of papers scattered round the place. He lead me to a big round wooden table which had three little pokémon sitting on top of it. There was a chimchar, piplup and turtwig.

"Dawn by the way, Happy Birthday. You're sixteen, right?"

"Thanks, and yeah I'm sixteen all right"

"Now as a beginning trainer you may pick one of those pokémon sitting on the table to be your partner."

"Ok." I chirped happily examining each pokémon carefully. I looked at the chimchar and turtwig both looked disgusted that they might be picked to go along with a loser trainer like me. The piplup on the other hand had sparkles in its eyes.

"I'll take piplup please." I giggled at the new expression of joy on Piplup's face.

"A wise choice Dawn, but I'm afraid I do have some bad news. You see Professor Rowan has possession of your new pokédex that we were supposed to give you today. I was just wondering if you could go and get him for us tried calling him but he's turned off his pokégear, he does it every time he goes out to do research." Corbin explained.

"Sure, where is he?"

"He's on the southern end of Lake Verity. It shouldn't be too hard to find him." He said as he gave me piplup inside its pokéball.

"Don't worry I'll be back in no time." I yelled as I raced down the long corridor and out the door with my new pokémon. Unlike Sandgem Town I knew the Lake Verity area like the back over my hand. I'd been there tons of times. I raced down Route 201 at breakneck speed feeling the wind brush over my soft skin and through my sapphire hair. The cool breeze was refreshing after the stress of finding that place. Meanwhile...

Ash's POV

The cool sea salt air was unfortunately diminishing as the Pikachu, Brock and I walked down the rugged dirt path. As we kept on walking our noses were treated to a new smell of musty leaves and wood as they decomposed on the trail.

"So Brock, where are we heading now?" I yawned as I asked the same question for the millionth time. I should remember where I'm going instead of having to rellie on Brock. I don't know what I would do without him.

"Ash for the hundredth time we're going to Professor Rowan's lab to get some more details about Sinnoh and to get you signed up for the Sinnoh League." His temper sounded like it was balancing on the edge of the cliff and any second he would lose it.

"Sorry Brock." I guess I'm a little over excited because we're starting a new trip. This time Brock and I will be travelling around Sinnoh. I could hardly sleep on the boat between Kanto and Sinnoh because of my excitement.

"But first we're going to Lake Verity."

"Why's that Brock."

"Well the Lake is one of the three famous Lakes of Sinnoh and the guide also said it has incredibly clean water which means I'll be able to make some nice Pokémon food for Pikachu and the others."

"Cool Brock." This is typical organised Brock already planning out routes and researching great places for us to go see without having to go too far off our path to the original destination.

"Pi Pikachu (Thanks Brock)" You see the thing about Pikachu is Brock and I have been buddies with him for so long we basically know what he's saying. He uses this to his advantage and enjoys making embarrassing comments about Brock and I. He also knows we're the only ones who understand what he's saying, so there are no bounds to what he can say.

As we got further along the path the scenery changed dramatically, the open grass fields turned into a lush moss green forest with the cool damp air passing through your clothes and soaking your body. Suddenly we came across a bike. The artificial colours and design seemed to ruin the landscape but that wasn't the thing that was bothering the gang. The bicycle seemed like it had taken some heavy damage. The frame was bent, tires were flat but the most astonishing thing about it was half the bike had been dissolved by what seemed like heavy acid.

"Whoa what happened here?" Brock commented with a horrifying expression. As we all stood there with shocked faces a blood curdling scream came from deep within the forest. Without thinking I sprinted in the direction of where the sound was coming from ignoring Brock's pleads to make me stop. The trees and bushes rushed pasted in as a blur, the screamed played back over and over in my head making me run faster. This person was in trouble and I wasn't going to stand around and wonder what was happening. Pikachu caught up to me and jumped on my shoulder just as I stopped to gaze in horror at the scene. There was a group hungry Victreebel and from the looks of things this blue haired girl and her pokémon were on the menu. The girl and her pokémon were screaming for help as the Victreebel's vines were holding them tight.

"Go Pikachu use iron tail on those vines."

Dawn's POV

The raven haired boy with his pikachu seemed to appear out of nowhere as they came to my rescue. The pikachu's iron tail made quick work of those vines that tied me up. Then as the victreebel screamed in agony the boy and his pikachu finished off the rest of the group with one swift thunderbolt. The Victreebel were gone in a flash. It was like a dream my knight in shining armour had saved me from deaths clutches and drawn me into his arms. You might be wondering what happened after I started to look for Professor Rowan. Well I was riding my bike along the path to Lake Verity and all of a sudden a vine shot out from the depths of the forest and crumpled my bike. Piplup and I flew off my bike because of the sudden stop my bike made as the vine destroyed it. As I flew through the air I watched my bike dissolve in corrosive acid which came from the owner of the vine. Piplup and I were quickly snatched up and taken deep within the forest. The creature that was carrying us was hideous. The body was shaped like a living yellow cup with sharp teeth all around the mouth. A huge leaf covered the mouth and two other leaves stuck out from the side of its main body. I struggled but its vine that was holding Piplup and I was not going to let go. We came to a group of other victreebel which by the look of their eyes were hungry. Their corrosive saliva dripped out of their mouths as they waited for their share of breakfast. I couldn't stand the thought that my pokémon journey was going to end just as it had started. It was just too much, I let out a horrendous scream which was obviously heard by my hero and now I am safe. Now as I stare dreamily into my saviour's eyes as he carries me back towards the path.

"Hello miss, please wake up." Huh who said that? I wondered to myself.

"Come on please wake up." The blurred face took its shape as the colours and the lines formed themselves into the perfect portrait.

"Wh Where am I?" I never knew speaking could become so hard.

Ash's POV

"Oh you're in the Sandgem Town Pokémon Centre." I answered back with a warm smile. I gave a nod to Brock to tell him she was alright. She sat up from her bed and demanded our story. After the afternoon drifted by we had exchanged stories. The tiresome day was wrapping up so we decided to get a room and speak about what to do next tomorrow. I couldn't sleep a million question ran through my head. Who was this mysterious girl, what did Brock think about her and what's this strange feeling I'm starting to get it's like my blood pressure has increased all of a sudden. All I know is that I hope the three of us can travel together.

Ok I guess Pikachu wasn't very interesting in this chapter but I promise he will be in the next one. Dawn is a bit of a damsel in distress but it will change don't worry. This is the first chapter so things are just getting started and remember to review it really does get chapters written faster. Hope you enjoyed it.
