(A/U): Hey! Thanks for checking out my new story! I plan for it to be pretty long, and full of wacky adventure. This story will be divided into the different seasons. Hopefully I can complete this story before the summer ends. Also, ikarishipping in this story will be mentioned, but I don't plan for it to play a big roll. Without further ado, on to the story!

Special thanks to: my beta reader. You're awesome.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, Starbucks, or frappucinos.

Summer: July

The season of warmth, joy, and to many, freedom. The days are long, sunshine is abundant. Breezes cause emerald leaves to dance while wild flowers in meadows wave to passerby. Dawn Berlitz loves the summer season, but Paul Shinji despises it. Yet, on one particularly bright summer day, in the sticky summer heat, the two teens happened to cross paths. The impressions they made on one another was anything but spectacular.

Paul was cross with his elder brother. Today, he had planned to do nothing but stay inside, as he had been doing for the past whole month of summer vacation. Just himself, the internet, and a silent hotel room. Yet his elder brother decided that today, he wanted an iced caramel frappucino from Starley Bucks, with extra whip cream and caramel. Reggie decided that Paul had to get it for him because he's older and just because he said so. The moody teen would have ignored his sibling just fine if Reggie had not threatened to turn off the Wi-Fi for their hotel room. So on his merry way to Starley Bucks he went, dressed in black with a scowl that kept any other teen back.

Dawn was delighted with her mother. Today, she expected to be bored, do nothing but stay inside. All of her close friends had, after all, left town for vacation, and she couldn't message any of her overseas friends because of the difference in time zones. Sensing her daughter's misery, Joanna Berlitz offered to head to the next town over so the two could get some iced drinks from Starley Bucks. So it was that Dawn and her mom borrowed a scooter from a neighbor and went over to Sandgem Town.

The ordering of sugary drinks went well enough, but when Paul opened the door to leave the establishment that was crawling with hipsters, an overexcited mop of blue hair belonging to a scrawny teen plowed right into him. From Joanna's point of view, it all seemed to happen in slow motion: the frappucino flying into the air, Paul falling back and landing the cold tiled floor, and Dawn tripping and sprawling on top of him. The frappucino then ceremoniously cascaded onto both teens. They were laughed at for the most part by the hipsters at the cafe.

"I-I'm so sorry! A-are you alright..?"

"Do I look like I'm alright? You drenched me in sugary coffee and wasted my eight dollars!" Paul refrained from cursing, having noticed Dawn's mother behind her.

"I said I was sorry!"

"Sorry isn't going to give me my money back or magically clean my clothes, you troublesome girl." Paul spat, getting up, some of the frappucino slopping down from his jacket onto the floor. Dawn also stood, the bit of the frappucino that splashed onto her sliding icily through her hair.

"You don't have to be so mean about it, I'll even pay for another cup for you-"she was ignored, the lavender haired teen already walking away with the gritty remains of the frappucino. "Hey, I'm stilling talking!" Paul waved her off as he headed out into the sticky summer heat, not wanting to deal with any more human interaction.

"So rude!"

"So troublesome."

Summer: August

With a variety of chatot, pidgey, and starley flying overhead the bustling crowds of students, the school year began. Most children on this day are heavy hearted on this first day of school, for their blissful freedom had ended, but for the students of Hearthome Magic Academy, there was nothing but excitement. The senior high school and university, available from tenth grade until a student could obtain their doctorate's degree, was and is famous worldwide as the most prestigious magic academy in the world. The majority of students for this school are selected from a long list of those with magical potential by the staff and teachers to attend. Everyone prided in their own talent. During this fateful summer, the lives of Paul Shinji and Dawn Berlitz crossed, and would be forever intertwined henceforth, as they embark as an unlikely duo upon adventures in this magic academy.

Please tell me what you all think, I would really appreciate some feed back.
