Chapter - 2

Just My Luck!

"We meet again, angry bird." The raven-haired boy smirked.

I seriously hated that smirk of his!

"I have to go on this mission with him?" I asked Jerry in disbelief.

Was he serious?

"Why? Is it a problem?" He looked at me weirdly.

Yes, it is not just a problem, it is a huge problem! My mind screamed wildly.

"No, it is not but-" I was interrupted by this jerk standing in front of me.

Why does he have to open his big mouth every single time?

"If you have a problem with me tagging along with you, then I am ready to leave. I am not dying to go on this mission with a talkative and noisy girl like you." He plainly replied, pointing his thumb sharply towards me. My mouth hung open, he was insulting me!

"Pika pika!" His Pikachu said and turned his head towards me, showing its cheeky grin, obviously agreeing with his master.

"You called me a talkative and a noisy girl! Then, you are an arrogant and egocentric jerk!" I retorted.

"PIP, Piplup!" These were the times where I loved my partner Pokémon!

"I admit that I am an arrogant and egocentric jerk, but you are a weird girl with weird blue hair!" Ash scoffed.

He is so rude! No one talks about my cute, pretty and beautiful blue hair like this!

"You have bad taste, cuz others seem to like my 'weird' blue hair! You cannot judge people, you have no right to do so! Also, haven't you heard this saying, don't judge a book by its cover!" I spat back.

I am not someone you should trifle with, you conceited jerk!

"Look who's talking, the one who told me I'm an 'arrogant' jerk!" He argued back.

Urgh! I hate him!

We were continuously arguing, replying to each and every sentence. Both our supporters gave up, as we both were so engulfed in our argument that we were not allowing anyone else to speak. Jerry, Leaf and Gary were staring at me then at Ash, and vice versa. They were confused on what was happening.

"ENOUGH!" Jerry finally yelled, stopping us from arguing any further. This silenced the whole room, and we all stared at him. Even Pikachu and Piplup were silenced, but his voice was kinda scary.

"Stop arguing like small children, you are all 20 years old not-" he was interrupted by Gary.

"Jer, we boys are both 21, not 20," Leaf and I had to stifle a laugh.

"Just stop it, all of you! First, it was Leaf and Gary and now you and Ash. Dawn, I thought you were a smart and responsible girl, but you are a childish girl!" He said with disappointment in his voice.

"But he was the one who started it! And, I am a smart and responsible girl, believe me!" I pouted.

"Both of you are equally guilty," He glared at Ash and I before continuing. "During the mission, I expect you all to be matured, so don't get into silly arguments; it might get you in trouble. Now, all of you go get ready, as tomorrow at sharp 10 you will have to report here and leave for your mission. Understood?" He told us in a stern voice, as if he were our father, giving his children a teaching on how to be safe, kinda like when a child goes out alone.

"Understood!" All four of us replied together.

"Pikachu/Piplup!" I guess they also understood.

"Now, you're dismissed!" We all made our way out the door in a hurry, scared at what he might do if we disobeyed. I was with Leaf at the rear, while Ash and Gary were ahead of us. As usual, Piplup was on my head and Pikachu was on Ash's shoulder.

"Dawn, why are you so angry at Ash? He seems like a sweet guy." Leaf asked me.

"Him as a sweet guy? Ha, as if! He might be to you, but I hate him cuz I told you, about a guy I met in the morning who was a jerk to me. That boy was Ash." I explained all what happened in the morning, each and every detail. The moment when I mentioned about him dropping me on the ground, she started laughing.

"Ha, ha, very funny," I replied sarcastically.

"It is funny! Seriously, he dropped you on the ground just like that!" She said in between her giggles.

"Just…Just, shut up!" She became quiet.

I don't wanna remember that dreadful memory…..

Suddenly, a beep was heard. Leaf checked her mobile, but it was mine that made the noise. I had received a text from unknown number:

I love you!~ 12:19 PM.

I have no idea who this guy is. I always get messages similar to this. Just then, Leaf peeked on the mobile and saw the text.

"Oh my god, Dawn, who is this guy?" She started squealing, which caught the boys' attention, they both turned around.

"Dawn received a text from an unknown number!" Leaf ran towards them with me trailing behind her in embarrassment.

"So?" Gary asked, clearly confused on what was special in receiving a text message from an unknown number.

"Yeah, what's so special? I receive many texts from unknown numbers like that daily." Ash said with a nonchalant shrug.

Urgh! He has to poke his nose everywhere!

"The point is that it said 'I love you'. Can you imagine?" Leaf said, with an excited expression. Gary and Ash just stared at her blankly. Leaf and I sweatdropped.

"Leaf, I got used to it when I was in high school. I always got these type of texts. At first I was flustered and got freaked out, but now I don't care about it." I shrugged.

Yeah, it's true. When I was in high school I got many texts regarding this, like 'I love you', 'you are beautiful', 'I like you', and 'would you like to go on a date with me' and so on. One guy wrote it on his hand, and I kinda felt sorry for him, but I only wanted to focus on my studies at the time. Relationships are easy to distract you, but that didn't mean I couldn't set up others in a relationship. Although, Leaf and I were childhood friends, we studied in different schools, as she went to the Johto region and I was stuck in the Sinnoh region.

"You never told me about it." She narrowed her eyes, making me nervously chuckle.

"I told you, but at the time you were busy in your own relationship."

"Yeah? But I don't even remember…." She started thinking deeply. I sighed.

"Forget it, Leaf." But I couldn't help but wonder who this person might be, maybe someone I know? I shook my head. That's impossible, no one in my life would do that.

I started to listen into Gary and Ash's conversation, and found out they were talking about their childhood.

Wait a sec, childhood!

"Gary, you and Ash have known each other since childhood?" I asked him incredulously, with my mouth slightly agape.

But he never mentioned anything aboutanyof his friends being from Kanto….

"Yeah, Ash is…well, was my childhood friend. We studied primary school together and I remember that I had to transfer from Kanto to Sinnoh. So whenever I used to go to Kanto, I visited him." He simply shrugged.

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?~
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?~ (1)

I kind of heard this song on the radio and got a quick liking to it, so I decided to change my ring-tone to this. I didn't pick up the phone till one paragraph was over cuz I wanted to hear the full chorus.

"Dawn, your phone is ringing, pick it up." Leaf said, texting someone herself. I finally answered the call, swiped my finger to the green symbol. It was mum.

"Hello, dear!"

"What is it mom?"

"Is your meeting finished?"

"Yup!"

"While coming home, can you bring lettuce and tomatoes? I'm busy, so I thought you could bring them home for me."

"Ok, fine."

"Thanks, sweetie! Love you!"

"Love you, too!"

I hung up, and found that I was the only one here, not even Piplup could be seen..

They must have gone out to the parking lot.

I made my way over there and saw Leaf, Gary and Ash chatting and laughing. Piplup was playing with Pikachu, which was a surprise. I smiled.

I guess Piplup will be fine during our journey as he's got a partner to play with.

"One day, Gary came to my house for a day as he was bored, but no one was there, as my mum also went out for shopping. It was just me and him. We were hungry and there was nothing in the fridge, so Gary decided to cook food for us, but as you can see, he isn't a very good cook. He put the eggs in the grinder without even breaking them, and he was trying to make pancake batter in a blender, then-" Ash's mouth was covered with Gary's hand.

I didn't know Ash could talk this much, it surprised me.

"Just don't continue the rest!" Gary nervously chuckled.

"Aw, but I want to hear!" The light brunette pouted. Ash just let out a soft chuckle.

It was kind of mesmerizing to see him laugh, it sent shivers down my spine. He looked so handsome, kind-hearted and caring when he did this…This Ash is much better than that rude one.

I shook my head, continuously.

Woah! Dawn, don't sound like you have a crush on him, it's kinda weird! Also, remember he called you not-so-beautiful, noisy, talkative, and that your blue hair is weird!? But you have to admit, that he does look sweet…..

I smiled again. I guess he seemed to notice me staring at him, because he looked towards me. I took a sudden interest in the sky. I didn't want him to know that I was staring at him, although he did.

I inwardly sighed. Why am I such an idiot?

"Piplup! Come on, let's get going!" I yelled so that he could hear me.

"Ash, do you have a girlfriend? I am sure you do, because you are a handsome boy." Leaf asked cheekily and somehow, this question interested me.

I listened to their conversation intently with great concentration.

"Nah, I don't have anyone. There is no girl out there who can make me have any interest in them." He replied with a smirk.

Isn't he little too over confident? But then, what else could I expect from him?

"You know, you sounded just like Gary there!" Leaf exclaimed.

Piplup came along with Pikachu and I scooped Piplup up and into my arms.

"Ok guys, see you tomorrow!" I waved them goodbye and went towards my Ferrari, where I sat in the driver's seat and fastened my seatbelt. From there, Piplup sat on the passenger's seat and I fastened the belt around him. I then inserted the key and started the car, where I couldn't stop thinking about the person that had entered my life: Ash Ketchum.

Now that we were in the town, I had to go to the super market to buy those vegetables. In Twinleaf town, there are many general stores, super markets and shopping malls.

I parked my car in front of the super market, unfastened both mine and Piplup's seat belts, and got out of the car. We went into the shop, the doors opened automatically. We both entered and made our way towards the vegetable section. Piplup sat in the trolley and I chose good looking lettuce and tomatoes and put them into the basket, I went to the counter, paid the money and exited the store.

I sighed in relief as we walked over to the car. Now I can go home and relax! We entered and sat in the car. I really wanna lie down on my fluffy bed….

"Hey, Piplup, was Pikachu good to you?" I asked him, curious to know whether Ash's Pokémon was an egg or not.

"Piplup." He nodded.

"But when he was with Ash he was so rude, just like his trainer!"

"Piplup?" He was clearly confused.

"I guess he just didn't know us too well and acted rude?" That was the conclusion I was coming to reach.

"Piplup..."

We made it back to the house in no time, which I was glad for. When I parked my car, there was a Chevrolet parked too, but thanks to mom for buying this particular house, we were able to get this big garage that fit both cars.

I wonder who this car owner might be. Whatever, I just want to go home and have a quick nap.

"I'm back, Mom!" I yelled as I entered the house.

The moment I entered, my jaw again hung open.

This is third or fourth time this has happened today and my eyes widened in disbelief. It's a good thing that I kept the vegetables over the table, as I could have dropped them in the shock of it all.

It was him again, sitting on the sofa next to mum, and having a good chat with her! What was he doing in my house?

Please don't tell me he's any of mum's friend's son…

"Oh, Dawn, you're back. I was waiting for you! I told you about one of my friends, Delia! This is her son, Ash and Ash, this is my daughter, Dawn," She smiled. "And Dawn, he will be staying here tonight as he is from Kanto and I can't let him stay in any hotel."

Why are these type of things happening to me today?! I think Arceus doesn't wants me to relax. I just have to have him around me wherever I go, I guess we are destined to meet each other often. My bad luck! And on top of that he is gonna stay at our house tonight. Great. What a nice way to relax, having the biggest jerk in your house, one of the best thing in the world, right?

Just my luck!

How is it? Interesting? I know that this chapter is shorter than the first chapter, but I tried my best.

Actually, I was busy studying for my 9th class exams! And my schools are gonna start from 6th April till 24th April. I will see if I will be able to update soon.

(1) I was randomly searching for Ash and Dawn videos, then I saw a video with this song and got a quick liking to it. It really impressed me and then i thought why not show my love for it.

For this story also, I expect to get reviews more than 10, not any less. I want everyone to read my story and comment on how I wrote, I wanna know if there are any faults in my story, so that I can improve better and be a good author. You people just read the chapter, you all think of reviewing it too, I will be motivated to write faster and steadier. Also, it increases my confidence level, which is a good thing.
