Chapter 2: Boy Meets Girl

The next day, Dawn's eyes open as she sees that it was the start of a new day. The girl was still recovering from the abuse she was put through yesterday, but despite this, she manages to muster all of her strength to stand. The young, blue haired girl didn't look very good at all, her eyes were drooping and her cheeks were a deep crimson red as she staggers to get out of her room.

"M-Master is waiting for me…" Dawn says weakly as she staggers over through sheer willpower alone, panting heavily as she struggles to drag herself out of her room. "I-I have to… go to him… O-Or else… He'll get mad at me again…" As Dawn takes another step, her body starts feeling heavy and she collapses, falling onto one knee with her eyes screwed shut tightly as she struggles to get up. Her body was so weak, and from the look of things, she had a terrible fever… Her sickness and the cause of her terrible fever most likely occurred due to her poor living conditions, malnourishment, and fatigue. At the same time this happens, Paul comes into her room with a cruel, cold hearted look on his face as he goes up to the girl and pulls her by the hair, despite the fact that she was weak with a terrible fever.

"What do you think you're doing, slacking on the job, you weak, troublesome girl?" He snorts cruelly and coldly as the blue haired girl has her eyes screwed shut tightly from him pulling at her hair. "I told you wake up on time, you little bitch, and yet here I see you slacking off on the job? You're pathetic! Expect to be punished after our job today… Now come, we have a long day ahead of us…" He sneers cruelly, not even taking notice that the poor blue haired girl was sick and severely weakened. The blue haired girl looks up at the cruel, purple haired man with weak, fearful eyes as he looks down on her and lets out a small whimper. She's then dragged along as Paul pulls her by the hair out of her room.

The purple haired man hooks a chain to her collar, using it as a leash to have the blue haired girl follow him and keep her close. Her wrists and ankles are cuffed as well. These were to further accentuate her status as a slave. She was treated like she was cattle, and the chain and the collar around her neck, as well as the cuffs were proof of this treatment. With their preparations ready, the purple haired man departs with his escorts and Dawn following close behind.

"Today we're having a business deal with a major client from another region…" Paul says with a gruff grunt. "Don't interfere or cause any trouble, and you just might get off easy tonight…" Dawn silently nods her head, but her cheeks were flushed a deep red and her breathing was labored. She was very sick and her fever was burning. Despite this, she keeps up her efforts to stay strong in front of her master, even though she desperately needed to rest.

As they head toward their destination to meet with their client, Dawn's body starts growing weaker and weaker… Her legs were wobbling and her breathing was hard and weak, her cheeks flushed a deep red from the intensity of her fever. She struggles to keep moving but suddenly, her legs are unable to keep her up any longer and her body was starting to grow heavy. She starts slowly falling to the floor and her eyes closed as she finds herself passing out and collapses to the floor. Paul turns around and faces Dawn as she lies down, breathing heavily and weakly with her eyes screwed shut tightly. Her body was in intense pain from the terrible fever, she couldn't even move. The purple haired man has his eyes widened furiously as he pulls on the girl's collar, trying to get her to stand up.

"Get up… Get up, you worthless piece of trash~!" Paul snarls at the blue haired girl, kicking her brutally to get her to stand up. Even if she wanted to, she simply didn't have the strength. She couldn't even defend herself as the purple haired man kicked her repeatedly. Paul narrows his eyes as he goes up to the heavily bruised blue haired girl and picks her up by the collar and raises his fist to strike the blue haired girl. "You useless little bitch… You can't do anything right, can't you?!" He says as he lifts the limp, unconscious blue haired girl by the collar and swings his fist down at her, looking to beat at her face with his fist cruelly.

Before the fist could come down on the blue haired girl, someone catches his fist and stands in front of the blue haired girl protectively. Paul's eyes widen as a raven haired man appears in front of the blue haired girl, defending her and protecting her from the purple haired man. This man wasn't his client, and it was only a matter of time before he arrived… He didn't have the time to deal with him. He then glares at him cruelly with narrowed eyes.

"Who are you?" Paul asks in a low, threatening voice. "This girl is my slave, what I do with her is none of your business…" The spiky raven haired man simply glares back at Paul. He then does what no man had dared to do before and punches him in the face, sending him sprawling on the floor as he holds the limp, unconscious blue haired girl protectively, cradling her in his arms.

"My name is Ash Ketchem, crowned prince of the Kanto Region! And I don't care who you are, or what kind of important figure you are, this is NO WAY to treat a lady! Can't you see that she's sick…? Look at her, this fever of hers is terrible!" The raven haired man says to Paul seriously and harshly, defending the blue haired girl. "Do all Sinnoh Businessmen treat their slaves like this? If that's the case, then the conditions of the Sinnoh Region are worse than I thought! And as for the girl, I'm taking her for myself. There's no doubt that I can take care of her better than you can! You will NEVER lay a greedy hand on this girl EVER again! " Before Paul could even say anything back to the young raven haired boy, he carries the unconscious blue haired girl bridal style and runs off with her, cradling her in his arms protectively. Paul has his eyes narrowed and rubs at the bruise on his cheeks. He then looks at his guard and gets up, dusting himself off.

"We'll worry about the slave girl later…" Paul growls. "We'll take care of business here first and then track her down. And that man will be sorry he ever made me his enemy…" He then straightens himself out and proceeds to wait for his client.

Meanwhile Ash carries Dawn in her arms, running off with the poor young blue haired girl. She slowly opens her eyes weakly and the first thing she sees is his face looking down at her with a smile as he runs off with her, holding her close. Her eyes were mere slits from the intensity of her fever and her breathing was heavy and weak.

"It's alright! Everything will be okay now…" The man says kindly and gently to the young blue haired girl as he strokes her head. "You're safe…" The blue haired girl could barely make out the man's features with her vision blurry from the intense fever, and she could barely even find her voice, unable to say anything to her raven haired hero. She then closes her eyes once again and lets out weak, ragged breaths as she falls unconscious once more. As the poor blue haired girl loses consciousness, visions of her past fill her head.

Flashback

"I wasn't always the slave girl you see now…" Dawn narrates as visions of the past fill her mind. "Three years ago, I used to be a princess of a small, prospering kingdom. We were a peaceful kingdom, and while we were still small and still expanding, times were happy. My mother and father were both kind rulers. And as their daughter and the princess, I was their pride and joy."

The scene then cuts to me when Dawn was younger, to a time before she was a slave. She looked so happy running through the town with her mother and father. The townspeople would look up at Dawn, smiling and waving.

"You seem to be in great spirits, princess!" A citizen says with a chuckle. "Be careful on your walk, and stay close to your parents!" Dawn smiles brightly and cheerfully with a smile on her face and beams brightly. She looked nothing like the sad, miserable girl that she was now.

"No need to worry!" Dawn says brightly and cheerfully. Her mother, the queen smiles at this and crosses her arms as she lightly raps Dawn on the head.

"When you say no need to worry is when I worry the most, dear!" Her mother, Johanna says matter-of-factly. Dawn sweat drops at this and laughs sheepishly as her mother points this out to her while scratching the back of her head. Her fellow villagers simply laugh and smile in unison with the blue haired girl laughing cheerfully with them. She was so naïve and innocent back then… but then… reality reared its ugly head towards her…

"… I thought our happy, prosperous days would last forever, but I was wrong… I was innocent, I was naïve…" Dawn narrates in a small, sad voice. Her voice was trembling; fear still filled her mind as she remembers that day clearly… "I was too carefree having no worries, when the day I should've worried the most came, I lost everything that was precious to me…" The next scene shows chaos… The buildings were on fire, the kingdom was destroyed. Because they were a small, peaceful kingdom, they didn't even have the strength to fight back the invasion… People were fleeing for their lives, only to be captured like cattle and taken captive to be sold off as slaves… Even though she didn't know it at the time, eventually, Dawn would become one of those people. The blue haired girl remembered the face of the one who destroyed their kingdom and had captured her people… and killed her mother and father… The Bounty Hunter, Hunter J…

Dawn and her family were shown, running for their lives through the dense forest. Dawn couldn't do anything for her kingdom… All she and her parents could do was run for their lives. She felt so weak and helpless… She felt like a coward for turning her back on her people. All she could do was watch as Hunter J and her men captured and enslaved her people. She wanted to come back for them, she wanted to protect them… but she was too weak…

"W-We're almost home free, dear!" Johanna says to Dawn as she holds her close. "Don't look back, dear… I know it's painful, but right now, your safety matters the most than anything, and I'm sure the people feel the same way…" Her mother says softly. It pained her just as much as it did Dawn to leave their people behind like this, but it was the only way… Dawn feels her lips quiver and has her eyes shadowed, but silently nods her head as they run through the scorching forest. Her eyes then widen and she lets out a loud scream as she gets a glimpse of the very person who caused all this destruction appeared… Hunter J… And she and her men were after them…

"Mom and Dad tried to protect me to the best of their ability…" Dawn narrates in a choke voice. She sounded like she was on the verge of tears now from this very memory. "Dad was the first to fall… I still remember looking back at him with tear filled eyes as he was subdued by Hunter J's men as their Golbats swarm over him brutally…"

"Daddy!" Dawn cried with tears in my eyes as Johanna holds my hand. Johanna has her eyes shadowed and shakes her head, dragging me along and urging me to not look back, but she was deeply pained by her loss… She was deeply in love with her husband and king, and the love of her life was now gone… She would soon find out that she would follow shortly. As the two fled from the scene where Dawn's father had fallen, Johanna pauses and turns around as she notices a Pin Missile headed in their direction. She then looks at Dawn, her pupils dilated and tears streaming from her eyes. The poor girl was much too distraught with sadness to even think of defending herself from the attack… The attack was too close to dodge, so the blue haired woman did the unthinkable…

As the attack collides, Dawn pauses a bit as her mother pushes her to the ground protectively, holding her in her arms. The blue haired girl then has her pupils dilate and a soft gasp comes from her mouth as she looks up, seeing Johanna with blood dripping from her mouth and the Pin Missiles stabbing her from behind, blood dripping from her back. The blue haired woman smiles as she cradles her daughter warmly for what would be the last time, holding her close.

"B-Be strong dear… We may not be with you here now, but we will always be watching over you in spirit…" Johanna says weakly as she holds her close. She then takes something from her pocket, a family picture of them, the three of them smiling brightly. Johanna then smiles weakly at the blue haired girl and pets her head. "I-I love you, dear… N-No need to wo-" The blue haired woman then collapses in Dawn's arms as the blue haired girl's eyes widen, covered in her mother's blood. The poor blue haired girl was completely distraught with sadness, kneeling by her mother's side and trying to shake her awake, but to no avail.

"M-Mommy…? W-Wake up…" Dawn says in a choked, shaky, weak voice, tears starting to stream from her eyes as she trembles. "W-We have to get out of here together… W-We're going to get out of here together… r-right…? R-Right…?" In the end, however, the blue haired woman didn't answer her, but the poor young girl couldn't accept it… She couldn't accept that both her parents were dead… Her moment of mourning was cut short however when a silver haired woman, known as Hunter J, steps up and comes up to the blue haired girl, a Salamence and a Drapion by her side. Dawn has her eyes shadowed as she slowly gets up and faces Hunter J. Her eyes had lost all their brightness and color, now dull bluish gray orbs. She had lost everything she ever cared for… Her kingdom, her people… her parents… All of them were gone from her life.

"Give them back…" Dawn mutters softly to the silver haired woman. She then looks forward with tears still streaming from her eyes as she faces forward. "Give them back! My kingdom, my people! My family! Give them back! Piplup use Whirlpool!" She says as she lets out her small penguin Pokemon out of its ball. The small penguin Pokemon has a flowing whirlpool appear above its head and launches it at Hunter J and her Pokemon. The Pokemon Hunter didn't look concerned in the slightest, however, and knew that the blue haired girl was desperate at this point.

"Salamence, Dragon Claw…" Hunter J says cruelly as his claw rips through the whirlpool with ease and then slashing viciously at Piplup, knocking the poor Pokemon out. She then motions to Drapion, who grabs the girl by her throat with its powerful claws and pins her to a tree, gripping her throat tightly. The blue haired girl struggles and tries to pry Drapion's grip from her through, gasping desperately for air, but her attempts were feeble. Hunter J smirks cruelly and tips the blue haired girl by the chin so she could look her in the eyes.

"I would be more worried about yourself if I were you…" The bounty hunter says with a cruel smirk as she looks the blue haired girl in the eyes as the blue haired girl struggles against the scorpion Pokemon who was gripping her throat. "Don't you worry, you'll be joining your people soon enough! You'll make the perfect slave after all! A slave princess… How fitting…" As the silver haired woman says this, smirking cruelly at her, the blue haired girl feels her vision slowly getting blurry, she was losing consciousness, and her strength was leaving her body. She could barely even struggle anymore, Drapion's grip being too strong for the young blue haired girl. She then gasps for air one last time before passing out, everything going black…

"… The next couple of days were complete hell for me…" Dawn narrates in a dull, monotone voice. "My people and I were treated like cattle, sold off for the highest bidder in the slave market… My people were all sold off eventually, and soon enough, I would be sold as well." A quick scene is shown of Dawn with a collar around her neck. Her eyes were dull and lifeless, as if she had seen terrible things. She wasn't treated well in her time at the slave market at all. Although she was fed and kept well maintained, she was put through brutal, punishing slave labor training. Hunter J needed for her to be of the highest quality before selling her off after all… Eventually, she was sold off, to a young business man named Paul Shinji, and her tough times would just get even worse…

Now having his own personal slave, the purple haired man was eager to see what she could do. He takes her to his bedroom and throws her roughly onto his bed. The poor young blue haired girl was still so innocent and naïve at the time. She didn't know what was in store for her. Suddenly, the purple haired man whipped out his cock and the blue haired girl's eyes dilate as she lets out a fearful gasp… She knew what was coming…

Rape Scene once more… Feel free to skip ahead, kiddies, nothing to see here, nothing at all! –Whistles comically- -w-;;

"N-No…" Dawn mutters as tears stream from her eyes. She then looks away and scrambles, trying to get away from Paul, but is pulled back towards him and is cruelly beaten in the face as Paul narrows his eyes at her viciously as the purple haired man rips at her clothes and pulls down her skirt, leaving the young blue haired girl practically naked and in rags.

"Listen here, you bitch… You're my slave now… I don't care if you were once a princess, but now, you're my property. So don't you even think of struggling~!" Paul sneers at her cruelly and coldly. "Hm, so you're a virgin, eh…? Well, that's a nice bonus…" He muses as he gets her on all fours, gripping her arms and holding them back as he takes his throbbing erection and pushes it into her pussy from behind in one rough, fluid movement, breaking her hymen. The blue haired girl has her eyes screwed shut tightly and lets out a loud, choked scream as he enters inside her as blood spills from her pussy. Tears stream from her eyes as his cock throbs deep inside her tight virgin pussy.

"NOOOOOOO!" The blue haired girl sobs, screaming and struggling as the purple haired man enters deep inside her, blood spilling from her pussy as she loses her virginity, the one last thing she had that was precious to her. The pain was unbearable, unlike anything she had ever felt before. Tears stream down her eyes as she sobs silently from the Paul's throbbing erection inside her. Then he started thrusting in and out of her roughly and violently, grunting with each thrust he made as his balls slap against her roughly. Dawn has her eyes screwed shut tightly and tears streaming from her eyes as she struggles and squirms, but is unable to break free with how much stronger he was.

"M-Mommy, d-daddy, help me! It hurts! He's hurting me!" Dawn pleas desperately as tears stream down from her eyes. She shakes her head, screaming and squirming as the purple haired boy's throbbing dick pumping in and out of her. She continues to scream as the purple haired boy continues to thrust violently in and out of her pussy. Suddenly, Paul pulls out. The blue haired girl pauses and opens her eyes, thinking, hoping, that it was all over. She was too naïve, however, when Paul suddenly turns her around so she was lying on her back and beats her in the face hard, looking at her viciously in the eyes cruelly and coldly.

"Do you ever shut up, you damn bitch~!" Paul growls viciously with fierce eyes as he enters inside her in one go once again as he spreads her legs roughly, continuing to thrust in and out of her pussy and beating her hard in the face. "Your parents aren't here to save you now because they're DEAD! NO ONE can save you now~! Accept the fact that you're now my slave bitch!" Dawn's eyes widen and her pupils dilate as Paul says this, her mind growing numb. Tears stream from her eyes as reality rears its ugly face at her… The blue haired girl's once dull, blue eyes become completely hollowed and grayed. She lies there limply as the purple haired boy continues to thrust wildly in and out of her pussy. Her mind was going numb, her spirit completely broken as the purple haired boy violently rapes her. These words had completely broken the young blue haired girl's mind, and now she was completely under Paul's mercy.

The purple haired boy grunts as he climaxes deep inside the young girl's pussy and thrusts inside her one last time, filling her with his semen. The blue haired girl didn't even flinch or move as he climaxes inside her, her eyes now dull and lifeless as his cum drips from her pussy. Her spirit was completely shattered, and just those words Paul had told her broke her into the slave girl she was now. Paul snorts as he pulls up his pants and drags the limp blue haired girl by the hair, taking her to an old, dusty basement and throwing her in there, leaving her there to rot. The poor blue haired girl curls up into a ball and starts sobbing and sniffling, shuddering in fear of the purple haired boy. Paul simply snorts as he looks down at her cruelly and coldly.

"We begin work tomorrow…" Paul sneers as he looks down at the young, sobbing blue haired girl. "I expect great things from you, Princess Berlitz… My own, personal slave…" As he says this, he closes the door behind him, leaving the poor young girl in the darkness.

Rape scene over… You kiddies can open your eyes now… Oh, and the flashback is over too! What a coincidence! XD

Dawn wakes up and sits up with her eyes widened, panting and sweating from the terrible nightmare she had, remembering the darkness of her past. She feels her forehead and sees that her fever had gone down considerably, but she was still recovering. She then looks around, wondering where she was. She was sleeping on an actual bed. She then looks down and her eyes widened. Clothes! She wasn't dressed in rags anymore. And for the first time in three years, her hair felt clean and silky smooth. Her eyes then widen as she feels around her neck. The collar was gone! As the blue haired girl wonders where she was and what had happened, Ash comes in with a bowl of soup and opens the door. He then has a warm smile of relief as he sees the blue haired girl now sitting up on the bed.

"You're up! That's great! You're looking a lot better too! What a relief!" Ash says with a warm, welcoming smile as he places the soup down. "My name is Ash Ketchem! I'm a prince from the Kanto Region. You're currently resting in my Sinnoh Region Villa! What's your name?" He asks in a warm, friendly manner. He was much different from Paul, who treated her like nothing more than a tool… He was kind to her… Dawn simply looks the other way quietly, not used to this kind treatment after being treated so abusively for so long.

"M-My name is Dawn Berlitz. I am… was… the princess of Twinleaf Kingdom. "Dawn introduces herself shyly and awkwardly, still not used to the kind treatment Ash was giving her. She then looks down at her collar and her cuffs and has her eyes shadowed and her lips quivering. "Wh-What happened…? Where's my collar? And why am I here?" She asks, still confused, not knowing what was going on. Ash simply smiles and shows her the remains of her collar, which were undone, and her cuffs, which were also now undone.

"It's over… That man will torment you no longer!" He says to the young blue haired girl with a warm, kind smile on his face. "You're free… And I was wondering, since you have no place to go, you could stay with me!" Dawn's eyes soften as he says this, at a complete loss for words. She didn't know what to say… She didn't even know how to feel about this… Suddenly, tears then start forming at her eyes and she starts crying into Ash's chest, unable to contain her feelings.

"Uwaaaaaaaaaaah!" The blue haired girl sobs as she buries her face into Ash's chest as he holds her close to him, her eyes screwed shut tightly. She didn't know why she was crying, she hadn't cried like this in what felt like an eternity, burying her face into the chest of someone she barely even knew. Ash simply closes his eyes and pets the girl on her head, comforting her and easing her as she cried, letting the poor girl cry her eyes out.

"There, there… It's alright…" Ash says kindly as he pets the young girl on the head tenderly. "You're safe with me… No one will hurt you ever again…" He then smiles as he reaches through his pocket and hands her the picture of her parents. "You were holding on to this picture the whole time. I figured it was special to you with how tightly you were clutching it in your hands, so I held onto it this whole time. It got a bit crumpled in the whole ordeal, but I salvaged what I could…" He says kindly as he hands it to her, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

Dawn's eyes widen as she realizes that when she woke up sick this morning, she never let go of her picture, and that was why she still had it on her at the time. She just didn't notice at the time because she was too weak and delirious from her intense fever. The blue haired girl then closes her eyes, hugging the picture close to her and she smiles for the first time in three years, tears still falling from her eyes. Even if it was a small smile, it was still a beautiful smile… reminiscent of her pure, innocent smile before she was a slave.

"Th-Thank you…" Dawn says softly to the raven haired boy softly while smiling, holding the picture close to her chest, cherishing it. She then pauses a bit, remembering his offer. "A-And if I'm not too much trouble, I-I'd like to stay here…" Ash smiles and nods his head, petting the blue haired girl on the head affectionately and deciding that she needed some time alone to rest up. He leaves the soup for her to eat at her own leisure and heads out the door to leave her to herself.

"Call me if you need anything, I'll come right away!" He says to the blue haired girl warmly and kindly as he's about to exit the room. Dawn nods her head and smiles back at Ash before her stomach lets out a loud growl. The blue haired girl grows red in the face from embarrassment and covers her face shyly underneath the sheets. Ash simply chuckles at this and smiles, knowing that the poor blue haired girl hadn't eaten properly for three long years. He then grows red in the cheeks at how adorable and beautiful she looked, hiding her face underneath the sheets. He shakes away these thoughts and closes the door behind him, leaving the blue haired girl to have her soup. As the blue haired girl eats, she smiles and looks outside the window.

… After being enslaved for so long, the small bird was finally freed from its cage…

… And it felt amazing…
