Disclaimer: Why is it that you guys won't believe me?! I don't own Pokemon. You should know that by now. Shame on you. (lol jk)

I'm such a liar. I bet everyone of you is staring at the computer, trying to kill me with your mind power (lol). Yes, I've updated even though I said I wasn't going to. The truth is that you guys convinced me to keep going.

All of your reviews said that you enjoy reading my story and wanted me to update. I felt really touch (seriously) by your reviews so I decided to continue to write. I'm going to try my best and update during the summer. Just to let you know, this story might only be updated only once per two weeks. Sorry, but its better than a month...

Anways enjoy the chapter.

Chapter One:

It was another sunny day in Twinleaf Town. Dawn woke up and her gray eyes squinted from the sunlight that was pouring out of her window. She was about to go back to sleep when she suddenly remembered that tomorrow was the big day! She hurried out of her pink frilly circular bed and opened the windows to let the breeze in.

Dawn went to her dressing table to brush her messy long black hair and put on yellow clips on the side of her head. She put on her white cloth hat that had a pink Pokeball symbol on the front and tied her red scarf around her neck. She sat on her overstuffed bed and put on her black stockings that went up to her knee. She took off her pink pajamas and put on her sleeveless black and pink mini dress with a white sleeveless shirt underneath.

There was a knock on her door and a maid appeared before her.

"Miss Berlitz," the maid announced, "your friend Damion is waiting outside. Apparently he has some big news for you and would like to discuss it during breakfast," She curtsyed at the same time.

"Thank you, Charity. Send him to the dining room. I'll be right there," Dawn said, smiling. The maid curtsied again before leaving and closing the door. Dawn put on some Magost perfume, making sure not to put too much like last time.

It's been over three years since she met Damion for the first time. She remembered that day clearly when she moved to Twinleaf Town. He was pretty much a loudmouth and bragger, but he does have a sweet side to him. Dawn hurried down the spiral staircases and walked through the mansion to the dining room.

Dawn came from a family of scholars that had run for more than twenty generations. She was the only child and the last descendent of the generation. Her family was one of the richest in the Sinnoh region. Today was a very special day for her because she had just turned fourteen, and the tradition of the family was that once a family member has turn fourteen, he or she would be allowed to travel around the world. In other words, tomorrow, Dawn could get her very first Pokemon! She couldn't wait to go to Professor Rowan's lab in Sandgem Town to personally get the first choice.

Dawn's father worked there as well and occasionally came home on the weekends to spend time with her. Her mother, on the other hand, was always out to compete in Pokemon Contests, so for most of the week, Dawn was alone in her house. That was, until she met Damion.

Damion would invite her on his crazy expeditions, so, even though they were pointless, it was fun to hang out with somebody her own age.

"Hello, Miss Berlitz," the butler in front of the dining room door said, "Damion has been waiting quite impatiently for you." Dawn smiled. Damion never changed.

"I'll apologize to him," Dawn responded, "What's on today's menu, James?"

"The usual," James said, opening the grand oak door. The room had twelve chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, glittering in the sunlight. The long table, about 20 feet long, could hold 30 people along with all six of their Pokemon. Large windows were uniformly lined up down the wall, revealing the beautiful outdoors.

Dawn walked in, and noticed a blonde boy who was sitting in one of the chairs very impatiently. His hair stood out in every direction like he didn't brush it this morning. Then again, he never brushed it. His hazel eyes glared at Dawn, while she looked back without fear. He wore an orange and white stripe short sleeve jacket and a green scarf around his neck. He wore black pants and brown loafers. On the chair next to him was a brown bag that could be worn on the shoulder.

"You're late, Dawn," the boy said, scowling. Dawn rolled her eyes. That was one of the flaws of having Damion as your friend. He was always impatient.

"Sorry, I just got up," Dawn said, shrugging. The maid behind Dawn, help her get seated in the chair across from Damion. Immediately two butlers came with two large silver dome plates and placed it in front of Dawn and Damion. Both butlers removed the top to reveal bacon and scrambled eggs, with tomatoes and mushrooms on the side.

"Thanks guys," Dawn said, "you are all excused." The butlers and maids bowed and left the room, leaving Dawn and her guest alone.

"I got great news!" Damion said, grinning as he ate. Bits of food came flying everywhere as he talked, making Dawn very glad that she was sitting three feet away from him.

"Yes, I already know that we're receiving our Pokemon and starting our adventure tomorrow," Dawn said, as she delicately cut her food into small pieces before putting it into her mouth, "Or is this something else?"

"Something else," Damion said, rolling his eyes, "Did you watch the news last night?"

"No," Dawn said evenly, "You know perfectly well I don't listen to that garbage load of ju-"

"Anyways," Damion said, ignoring Dawn's comment, "Last night they talked about on the news that there was a red Gyarados living in a lake!" Dawn immediately frowned at this news. A red Gyarados? Only blue ones existed.

"What's your point?" Dawn asked, not looking as interested as Damion hoped.

"Well, what if there's a red Gyarados in Lake Verity?" Damion said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Dawn paused a moment to think.

Lake Verity was the largest lake near Twinleaf Town. Legends said that a rare Pokemon resides in that place, but the likelihood of a Gyarados, let a lone a red one, being there was next to impossible. She didn't see a point in wasting their perfectly good summer over something so trivial. And there was another reason why Dawn didn't want to go to the lake.

"Damion, our parents had said that we shouldn't go near the lake without parent supervision," Dawn said. Damion rolled his eyes with impatience.

"We're not going to stay there, dummy," Damion said exasperatedly, " just investingating. No big deal. Don't tell me you're chickening out already."

"I'm not scared," Dawn snapped, "I'm more concerned about following instructions then doing things by impulse." Damion grinned at Dawn's angry expression.

"But there's no fun if you follow rules!" Dawn groaned, but she could feel the excitement inside of her. She longed to do something fun and daring for once in her life.

"Fine, we'll go," Dawn snapped. Damion grinned.

"Knew you couldn't resist adventure."

"Oh, shut up." Dawn got up and out of her chair, "Get ready in twenty minutes. I'll be waiting outside your house."

"Okay, princess," Damion teased and before Dawn could hit him, he was already out the door.

Urgh, Damion just somehow always knew how to get on her nerves. She hurried upstairs to get her bag. She got to her doorstep and put on her pink boots.

"Where are you going today, Miss Berlitz?" Dawn saw one of her maids looking at her with curiosity.

"Oh, I'm going over to Damion's house," Dawn said which wasn't a complete lie.

"Very well," the maid nodded, "lunch is served at twelve o'clock. You can have Damion over if you want."

"Thanks," Dawn replied. She hurried down the gravel path and out of the steel gate. Her mansion was the largest on the street; then again, it was the only house on the street. The garden took up the entire road, revealing different types of exotic plants that came from different parts of the world. Dawn was always fascinated by the plants and memorized their names and looks by heart. In fact, she memorized everything in the books in her library that held hundred of year's worth of knowledge gathered by her ancestors. Her dream was to go out and travel around the world. The same dream that Damion had.

"Hey there you are!" Damion looked hyper as ever, "Come on let's go! I bet you a million dollars that the red Gyarados will be there." He was jumping up and down as if he was trying to imagine the money already in his hands.

"You don't even have a million dollars," Dawn said exasperatedly. Damion ignored her and ran up ahead to the path which leaded out of town and toward Sandgem Town. Dawn immediately followed her energetic friend.

Little did she know that they were going to find something, and it was going to change their destiny.

Author's Notes

Another suspense. (smiles at myself) Well at least I'm safe from you guys throwing stuff at me.

Okay, Dawn, Damion, and Lucas are going to have personalities from the game, manga, and show (well, Dawn is the only one in the show but you get what I'm saying).

Dawn, in the manga, is REALLY from a rich family. I did not make this up.

Anyways, I already got the next chapter up, but I'm going to wait for two more weeks before I post it up. (laughs while you scream "NOOOOO" lol)

Alright, now to thank the reviewers that made this chapter possible and convinced me to continue to update it.

heh, I didn't mention Lucas' name because I wanted suspense. Sorry but I thought it would make readers want to read more if they didn't actually know who it was.

Wow, Lukas. That's a really weird spelling.

You know the same thing happened to me when I wrote down the website and it deleted it the entire word, so I ended up writing only "Serbeii". (it just did it again...)
