Chapter 2: Dawn

Lucas

Unlike Barry, I knew Dawn was an NPC the instant I saw her. It's a shame, because she's really cute.

We met quite often at the beginning of my adventure. I came back to Sandgem Town a few times to visit Professor Rowan about my Pokédex. This was before I realised that the Pokémon Centre's telephones were free to Trainers. Anyway, I kinda watched her work while I was waiting for the Professor to analyse it. Dawn did paperwork all day, but she had a break for lunch, when she went outside for about half an hour. I tried to talk to her, but like most NPCs, she didn't respond.

Ah well.

I didn't really expect to see her around as much as I did though. It seems she also went on a journey at the same time as me and Barry, but I didn't notice it much. Seeing her at Jubilife was fine, but I didn't expect her to race past me on the Cycling Road. I remember that moment clearly.

I suddenly heard the sound of screeching tyres, then the sound of a screeching girl. Dawn hurtled past me, her face terrified, her blue hair whipping about behind her. I just watched as she kept going at an insane speed, (I mean, what can I do to help on a bike?) and crashed into a ditch a little bit off-road.

She waited for me, a twig lodged in her hair, and gave me a VS Seeker, which was nice. I'm telling you, that thing is useful. I once challenged a banker in Jubilife, thinking he was a Trainer. Awkward.

I saw her again in Veilstone, when she lost her Pokédex. Getting the Pokédex was a pain. It was nice to battle in a pair with someone, though. I don't get to do that very often.

After the Spear Pillar incident, she went back to the lab. Fair enough, I guess. I visit every so often just to see that she's doing okay. She doesn't say much, just some stuff about the Pokéradar when I approach.

And that's just about the situation I've been in for the last few months. I see Barry on weekends and Dawn most days, and the only other person I'm really in contact with is Cynthia. She's a PC, and since she lost her Champion title, she's been going about the country looking for information about myths. If I find anything in my travels, I usually tell her about it.
