After some massive thinking, this is the final result of the first chapter. It was actually harder to write than I thought, even though I had planned it. This's a Pearlshipping story, but I'll probably not have any real Pearlshipping until Chapter 3. Obviously it doesn't mean that I can't build up Pearlshipping. You'll see. Reviews are always wanted, so if you got something then review! Welcome to Chapter 1!

"Good morning Honey." the loving Mother said as she had opened the door belonging to her son.

"Morning Mom." Ash responded, having gotten used to this treatment.

"Excited for the first day of your final school year?" Delia asked, watching as her son got out of the bed.

"Could be better, at least the first day only requires me to be in school until my battle and the annual school ball." Ash responded, having liked what he saw when he invited to ball during first grade.

"Alright, breakfast is ready. I'll get Dawn out of bed and then you'll get her to school." Delia said, closing the door behind before heading to next room. Opening his closet, Ash took out a new set of clothing his Mother had bought. Donning a white shirt, pulling the collar up, Ash then put on his red jacket with silver buttons. Adding a pair of light blue jeans and he was almost done. Looking for it, Ash found his trademark cap with matching colors and put it on his head before heading down into the kitchen. The smell of breakfast was irresistable for him, compared to his sister. He still called her his sister, even if his Mother had told them long ago that they weren't bloodrelated. They still saw each other as siblings, they had known each other 14 years and lived together. His Mother was already sitting at the table, seemingly having managed to get Dawn out of her bed, reading the newspaper.

"Morning." a voice came from the stairs, belonging to Dawn.

"So, are you excited?" Delia asked her daughter, pretty much asking the same as she asked Ash.

"Mom, you asked me that question and you still remember my answer. Do you think Dawn'll say something else?" Ash questioned his Mother, knowing what Dawn would had said. They knew each other that well.

"Hey, you better hurry up! You got 30 minutes until school starts!" Delia exclaimed, having glanced at the clock that was hanging in the kitchen. Eating faster, the two siblings quickly hurried into the bathroom to brush their teeth. Both remembered the things that had happened here. How Dawn landed on top of Ash, having their lips locked. Or how Ash caught a glimpse of Dawn while she was in the shower. He still had the picture in his head, and there was only one word to describe it. Beautiful. And then when Dawn was lying on him, lips locked. It just felt right, but he couldn't continue while knowing May was his girlfriend and Dawn was his sister. Thinking along similar lines, Dawn's biggest thought was if she should tell Ash that she liked him more than just a sibling. But what if he would think she was weird than? But Ash would never say something like that was Dawn's last thought, before she hurried after Ash down the stairs and picking up her bag. Saying goodbye, Ash opened the door and let her out before he closed it behind them. Usually they held hands, but this time Ash was carrying the egg that had mysteriously appeared in their living room last night. He would ask Prof. Oak about it.

Having walked for a few minutes, and having talked about school in general, they finally saw the massive building in front of them. Thousands of students studied here, and Ash and Dawn were only two of them.

"You better run inside and find out which classroom you should be in. We'll see each other later." Ash said, having glanced at his watch.

"Alright." Dawn quickly responded, hugging Ash while he gave her a quick kiss on her forehead before she ran inside. Looking around outside, Ash tried to find some of his classmates. After looking around a little, Ash spotted Brock and Misty. Brock was still wearing the same outfit he had when they were travelling Sinnoh together, but Misty had undergone a major change. Having cropped her hair, she now also wore a white jacket with a blue collar and a white skirt. Having gone from been a tomboy for many years, Misty had now changed and become one of the sweetest persons Ash knew. Even though if Misty got angry you should run.

"Hey Ash." Brock greeted his best friend, having spotted him first.

"Good to see you Brock." Ash greeted back, even if it only was 2 weeks ago since their Sinnoh journey ended.

"Welcome back Ash." Misty now greeted him, giving him a light hug

"It's great to be back Misty." Ash responded, having missed the company of Misty.

"So, are you excited for your battle against Lance?" Brock asked, looking at Ash with interest.

"Yeah, it'll great to beat him!" Ash exclaimed, maybe sounding a little overconfident.

"Do I hear Ashy-boy thinking he's able to beat Lance?" an all too familiar voice teased.

"Oh, I surely am able to beat him. After all you didn't even manage to land a single hit during our last battle." Ash countered, having a big grin on his face as he saw Gary. Giving each other a high five, a sign of their long lasting friendship, they started some small talk with Gary mostly asking about Ash's Sinnoh Journey.

"Ash!" an angelic voice shouted, giving him no time to react before he nearly got tackled to the ground.

"Hey May." Ash responded softly, sharing a passionate kiss with his girlfriend.

"Finally you're back, I needed a strong opponent but no one was good enough." Paul said, walking up to them, completing the group of friends.

"Do you still think you can beat me?" Ash questioned, remembering the last time he and Paul battled.

"Hmpf." was the only response he got from Paul.

"I'm heading over to the toilets, I'll be back in a few minutes.

Having finished his business, Ash exited the toilet. Then he heard a scream and a slap echoed through the corridors of the school. Running faster, trying to locate where it came from, Ash quickly found the source. And it was something that filled him with an anger he never had felt before.

"KENNY!" he roared, running over to his classmate who was had hit his sister and was now holding her. Lifting up his fist, it quickly found its way to Kenny's face which sent him tumbling backwards and a loud clack had been heard as Ash's fist hit him. Having left his egg in Brock's care, Ash quickly pulled Dawn into an embrace and was sobbing into his chest. Ash didn't need to ask what had happened, he could already guess. "If you ever touch her again, I'll make sure that more than just your nose'll break." Ash said coldly to Kenny who was still lying on the ground. He ignored him and walked away with Dawn, holding her while trying to calm her down.

"I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't appeared." Dawn managed to say, while still sobbing uncontrollable.

"Everything's alright. He'll never try to hurt you again." Ash said in a soothing voice, while stroking her hair and walking aimlessly through the corridors. "Which classroom should you be in?"

"205." Dawn responded, slowly calming down in Ash's embrace. Walking there, Ash knocked on the door while trying to get her out of his embrace, not everyone needed to see her like this. Opening the door was none other than his mentor, each professor had 3 classes which they worked with more than the others. In this case, Prof. Oak was the mentor of his class and Dawn's class.

"Ash?" Prof. Oak asked surprise, before noticing Dawn standing next to him.

"I can explain every Prof. Oak." Ash said, Dawn still clinging on to him while no one could see.

"You don't need to. I'll take you on your word. Please come in Dawn." Prof. Oak said reassuringly, been one of the few to know of Ash's and Dawn's relationship.

"Also Professor, yesterday something rather interesting happened." Ash started.

"And what would that be?" Prof. Oak asked, knowing Ash's tendency for trouble and meeting Legendaries.

"A pink Pokemon egg materialised in my living room." Ash explained, smiling a little at the reaction of the Professor.

"Interesting. You'll have to show me the egg once I'm done here unless it hatches before then."

"Alright, Prof. Oak. I'll see you later today." Ash said, waving as he already had left the Professor in amazement about the egg. Legends say that the only egg that looked like that belonged to the legendary Pokemon Mew as it was born. But Mew couldn't lay any eggs. The Professor shook his head, before returning his attention back to his new class.

"Hey Ash, what about a practice battle? You never know if you've lost your touch." Paul asked, arrogant as always.

"Alright, if you want to lose." Ash responded, already holding a pokeball in his hand.

"Go Torterra!" Paul shouted, releasing his strongest Pokemon.

"You're up Charizard." Ash said, having no doubt about his victory.

"This is a battle between Ash Ketchum and Paul Veilstone. Begin!" Brock announced, taking the role of the referee.

"Let's get over with it Charizard. I got more important things to do than this. Flamethrower!" Ash ordered, not wanting to miss when Dawn's class finished.

"Hyper Beam!" Paul countered, knowing that Ash had no plans on letting the battle go on.

"Get close and use Slash, then follow it up with a Wing Attack!" Ash said, calm as usual in the heat of battle. Very few battles still brought the excitement that he had felt many years ago. Quickly Charizard stopped the Flamethrower, dodging the Hyper Beam and getting close enough to use both Slash and Wing Attack. Inflicting heavy damage simply because of his raw strength, Torterra panted in exhaustion from taking so much damage.

"Torterra, use Frenzy Plant!" Paul shouted, hoping to be able to catch Charziard on the ground. Suceeding, Paul gave Ash no time in between. "Earthquake!"

"Break free Charizard!" Ash ordered, watching as Charizard broke free from Frenzy Plant while dodging Earthquake completely. "Now finish it! Blast Burn!" Ash shouted, watching in amazement as Charizard charged up his Blast Burn. Paul could only watch, Torterra had no way of dodging or stopping it. Releasing the attack, Charizard watched as his opponent screamed in pain from the attack.

"Torterra is unable to battle! The winner is Ash Ketchum!" Brock announced, always surprised over Ash's battle skills. One thing he had noticed though, Pikachu wasn't with Ash. Usually they were inseparable. Maybe Ash had left him at home, his Mother usually took care of Pokemon that Ash had at home.

"Well, no slacking on your side I suppose." Paul said, smiling a little. When he first had met Ash, he considered Ash weak. But that changed. Ash was only getting stronger, surpassing many of the Elite Four already.

"It was enjoyable, but I'm quite sure that the gap between us is too big." Ash responded, enjoying his battles with Paul but knowing that they were pointless. He was simply better than Paul.

"Hey Ash! The egg is hatching!" Brock shouted from the side, having put down the egg on the ground for a few seconds. Quickly walking over, Ash took the egg in his hands. Instead of hatching like usual, the egg instead simply vanished. With everyone looking at her, Mew decided to find her parents. Looking up she saw Ash's face.

"Mew!" she exclaimed, cuddling even closer in Ash's arms.

"Incredible." was the only thing Gary said, studying to be a Professor. A Mew hatching from an egg. Revolutionary!

"Hey little girl." Ash said in a soft voice, scratching Mew's head which earned him a soft coo. Trying to fly, everyone watched as Mew floated a little before falling back into Ash's arms. Having understood that flying was no option, Mew instead looked around to find her mother. Looking at May, who was standing next to, Mew for some reason didn't fell comfortable around. She wasn't her mother. She started to wriggle around, and when May then tried to pet she cried in fear while closing her eyes.

"Well, it seems like she doesn't like when anyone besides Ash's touches her." Brock stated, watching the events unfold with interest.

"At least she accepts me as her father, sort of." Ash said, smiling at how cute Mew looked. "Well, I think it's time that we head home and prepare ourselves for the ball."

"You're right. We'll meet here again 30 minutes before the battle starts." Brock exclaimed, before heading off his own way. Everyone walked away, except May and Gary. May give him a quick kiss before she headed home aswell. Leaving only Ash, Gary and Mew.

"Should we head back?" Gary asked, who had started to walk but then noticed that Ash wasn't tagging along.

"I'm going to wait for Dawn." Ash said.

"Alright." Gary said, having met Dawn before and having nothing against her company. "Are you going to invite her?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah." Ash responded as he understood what Gary meant. Seeing her out of the corner of his eye, Ash acted like he hadn't seen her. But right before she could do anything, he quickly grabbed and spun her around.

"Hey Dawn." Gary greeted, giving her a quick hug. After all, he grown up with her.

"So, how was your first school day?" Ash asked, still feeling the need to act like the big brother. Mew, before Ash had grabbed Dawn, had managed to find a place on his shoulder. It wasn't as cuddly as in his arms, but it did fine.

"It was great! Prof. Oak is such an amazing teacher, and our class is just great." Dawn responded, before noticing the little pink create on Ash's shoulder. Having shifted her attention from Ash to Dawn, Mew immediately decided that Dawn was her mother. Managing to barely jump from Ash's shoulder to Dawn's, Mew softly nuzzled Dawn's cheek in a sign of affection.

"Seems like Mew has found her second parent." Gary said, chuckling slightly at the sight.

"She's so cute!" Dawn squealed in delight, scratching Mew's head.

Having walked back home, the three friends split up, Gary walking up the stairs to his house and Ash and Dawn heading over to their house. Before they entered though, Ash took Dawn's hand and stopped her.

"Hey Dawn, Prof. Oak told you about the ball tonight?" Ash asked.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"I would like you to come with me." Ash said, waiting for her reaction. It took a few seconds to fully understand what Ash had said. Then her face exploded into a big grin.

"Thank so you much!" Dawn shouted, pulling Ash into a close hug. And both enjoyed the closeness, more than they wanted to admit.

"Hurry up, I got another surprise for you inside." Ash added, watching as Dawn's face grew even brighter. Entering the house, and greeting their Mother, they quickly hurried up the stairs and entered Ash's room. Opening up his closet, Ash pulled out something that he had hidden there. It was a light red dress that went all the way to the floor with straps. Dawn's eyes widened in surprise as she saw the beautiful dress.

"I don't know what to say." Dawn managed get out, having gotten over the first wave of surprise.

"You don't need to say anything. A beautiful girl like my sister only deserves the best." Ash responded, before giving Dawn a light peck on the lips nad handing her the dress. Managing to get her out of his room, he then started looking for his tuxedo.

With both having changed, Ash was the first one finished and was waiting in the living room while Mew sat on his head. Then he saw Dawn walk down the stairs.

"You look beautiful." Ash said, a slight blush creeping up his face.

"You don't look too shabby either." Dawn responded, giggling a little. "Here, this is for you."

"What's it?" Ash asked, surprised that Dawn would give him a necklace.

"It belonged to your father, Mother found it a while ago."

"Well, thank you then." Ash said, happy over the gift, but little did he know what power the stone on the necklace possessed. Putting it on, he headed to the door.

"There's one more thing." Dawn said, walking over to him and giving him a light peck on the lips. "So, now I'm ready."

"Ladies first." Ash said, opening the door while having Mew sleep on his head. Walking outside, Ash took Dawn's hand and together they walked to the school. The tingling sensation on his lips was still there. What was that feeling? Maybe Misty could help him with that.

Did you enjoy all the fluffy things I put in? I surely enjoyed writing it. And yes, I've Advanceshipping in here. Why? Simply because I also like that shipping. As usual, review so I can improve and I'll see you next time!
