Disclaimer - I don't own anything whatsoever to do with pokemon.
WARNING - Paul might be OOC again … dependant, still unrealistic and bits from other stories. (Ditto last chapters warning) T_T

(Normal POV)
"DAWWN" yelled an obnoxious voice. "What are you doing with Paul"
"Paul was helping me get to you two, weren't you Paul" She said looking at Paul who had the most dangerous death glare she had ever seen.
"Okay Dawn, are you ready to go?"
" Y-yeah, can you hold on a minute?" she asked sadly walking up to Paul. "Thank you Paul, for everything, it was really fun" she whispered in his ear, embracing him warmly. Paul turned a bit peachier and put a hand on Dawn's back in an attempted hug.
They stayed there for a while, Dawn sneaking a small peck on his cheek. Paul noticed and stared at her quizzically. Dawn just smiled, and ran to meet the other boys. Before leaving, she waved good-bye in her own hyperactive way. Paul stared after her, confused and… sad.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Paul's POV)
I don't believe I'm even going to say this but I miss that troublesome little girl. I guess I got used to her hyperactive, violent manner. I don't understand one thing, why would she go as far as to kiss me if she hates me. I mean, if you hate someone you would actually show it by ignoring them or criticizing them. Like me and the pathetic loser, I can't help but despise him and his whole I'm going to be a Pokemon Master routine. Some of us are actually going to be a master, so no need to brag about it. He's just so annoying.
As I continued to think about how annoying the loser was, I didn't notice that I was walking directly to a lake and I slipped down into the deep dirty liquid. My bag and clothes within were drenched and couldn't control the language coming from my mouth as it begun to rain…Heavily. I sprinted to the nearest cave and huddled down to try and warm up. But failed miserably.
Meanwhile…(Dawn's POV)
I was really beginning to miss Paul. His smell, his tone of voice, everything. It didn't help Paul had rubbed off on me from being with him for so long and I had begun to find Ash and insufferable and loud. I couldn't keep myself from yelling 'Shut it, just this once' at him and he stared at me like I had two heads. Even Brock seemed a bit shocked but soon replaced it with a smirk which told me that he had found something out about my agitated behaviour.
"Can I talk to you privately, Dawn?" he asked politely. I just walked to him silently. " You miss Paul, right". I stared at him for what felt like ages and finally nodded curtly. He smiled. "Okay than… go find him and tell him how you feel".
I began to run to where Paul would likely be heading and just as I was about to stop and turn back because I was unsure of where I was going, I bashed my head on an out of place branch that came out of now where. It began to pour with rain as well making my day a whole lot worse and I ran to take cover. I saw a cave close by and broke into a jog towards it, not knowing whether it belonged to a Pokemon, but I decided to give it a try.
(Normal POV)
Dawn tiptoed into the cave wearily, checking for any pokemon that could be harbouring the cave but found something even more shocking. Paul sopping wet and shaking violently curled up into a ball. She crouched down beside him and pulled out of her bag, a small blanket that can just about cover an adult, and wrapped it around his torso. Paul jolted up, shocked. He looked at the blanket as if waiting for it to disintegrate. He removed his jacket to reveal his toned chest and arms. Dawn couldn't help but blush as he did this. She got herself comfortable beside him as he tugged the blanket tighter around him. Dawn smiled as she felt her eyes becoming heavy until sleep overtook her.
(Dawn's POV)
"ACHOO"
My eyes snapped open and traced the space around me till I found the culprit. I spied Paul who looked half asleep and his once tanned face was a paste white colour.
"Paul, a-are you o-okay" I stuttered.
"Does it look like I'm okay, I'm freezing!" he growled in irritation. I just rolled my eyes and slid over to him. Hesitating slightly, I felt Paul's forehead, than his hand. His hand was ice cold yet his head felt as if it was on fire.
"Buneary, Piplup, spotlight!" I shouted. My small rabbit pokemon and penguin pokemon. "Okay Piplup, can you wet my scarf with bubble beam, Buneary, can freeze this rock with Ice beam?" I handed Buneary a rock about the size of the palm of my hand. Piplup can back and handed me my now soaked scarf and Buneary gave me the Ice covered rock. I carefully wrapped the Icy mineral in my scarf and placed it comfortably onto Paul's forehead to cool his temperature.
Ten minutes of waiting, Paul finally seemed to be able to relax. I didn't want Paul to become any colder than he was as even I could feel the chilly night air giving me Goosebumps so I crawled over to Paul and wrapped my arms around him in an attempted snuggle. I looked up at him to see pink spread across cheeks. He slowly put a hand on my back as if trying to return the hug. I was beginning to feel Paul's breathing become slow as a sign he was about to fall into a deep sleep. As I felt this, I closed my eyes ready to drift off myself, dreaming of romantic situations including… Paul.
(Paul's POV)
I awoken drearily. I could still feel Dawns arms still around me. I tried to wriggle out of her grasp, but she dragged me closer, murmuring something I couldn't hear. She nuzzled into my Navy T-shirt, a small smile beginning to appear in her face. What is going on in her head… WAIT, why do I care?
Dawn slowly began to stir, than yawned. Her eyes fluttered open and her gaze shifted to me. In a few seconds, her pale face turned tomato red and she hastily let go.
"S-s-sorry" she spluttered. I just shrugged it off, not being the type to say it was okay.
"Paul, you know when I was trying to tell you my 'secret' but Ash interrupted me".
I stared at her and motioned for her to continue.
"W-well, I was going to say that I was really e-enjoying my time with y-you. That I was h-hoping that m-maybe me and you could spend more t-time with e-each other because I am beginning to really really l-like you"
I sat there motionless, by the look of her expression, I was looking blankly at her, I wanted to tell her that I felt the same way, but what came out of my mouth, due to panic, was the exact opposite.
"Yeah, and what do you want me to do about it, stupid girl". Water began to build up in her eyes until she could no longer hold them and they streamed down her eyes. OH GOD, what did I just say. She picked herself up and darted out of the cave, a trail of tears behind her. When I looked outside, I regretted it, it looked as though it was about to storm. The clouds were coloured a dark grey and were shifting closer towards the cave in which I'm in.
(Dawn's POV)
I just kept running as fast as my legs could carry me. Even if he doesn't like me, he could have been more subtle on the rejection. Yeah, and what do you want me to do about it, stupid girl kept on repeating in my head like a broken record. I slumped down a tree trunk as I stopped within a forest. It slowly begun to rain, every second it was getting heavier. I closed my eyes trying to compose myself but I felt as if there was someone here. Watching me. I opened my eyes and a bulky silhouette surrounded me. I tried to make a run for it but it caught me before I could even make my move…
